Chapter 1

"I love you, Mightyena." meowed a Liepard "I love you too, Liepard." he barked. Liepard rested her head on his chest, feeling his flank rise and fall. Mightyena made himself comfortable on the soft, green, lush grass under him while at the same time trying not to disturb Liepard. Mightyena heard Liepard's breathing slow down, she was asleep. He smiled and closed his eyes, deciding he should sleep as well. A rustle in a tree caught Mightyena's attention and he pricked his ears up and looked around, all he saw was trees, plants and Liepard so he shut his eyes again.

The rustle in the trees got louder and Mightyena decided to go investigate, he gently moved Liepard's head off his chest and walked in the direction of the sound. He got to the point where the sound was loudest and looked up the tree and saw a shadow standing there, and it jumped right at him. Mightyena jumped away before the shadow hit the ground and he looked up and saw glowing, blue eyes and they were locked on him. The shadow jumped at Liepard and Mightyena tackled the shadow with all his strength and Liepard woke up and screamed to the top of her lungs. Mightyena said to Liepard "I got this, stay here." He walked up to the shadow and challenged it. He growled "Who are you and why are you here?"

The shadow just looked at him and growled. It backed onto it's hind legs and charged at Liepard, chasing her near a street. It immediatly brought it's attention back to Mightyena and charged at him. He ran to Liepard, who was standing near a street light and yelled to her "Run, now!" She nodded and ran north. Mightyena tried to catch up to her but she ran too fast. He looked back to see if that shadow was still following him and he saw the glowing, blue eyes turn around and run back to where he and Liepard were. As the shadow began to run he saw a part of it's mane, black and red.

Panicked after the night, he walked home.

"Liepard, are you alright?" he asked as soon as he ran in the house. She replied "Yes, but what happened?" Mightyena just sat down on the couch and said "I wish I knew." He grasped the remote and turned the TV on and settle down to watch a soccer game and the screen went black and switched over to a breaking news story. Mightyena turned up the volume. The reporter said "We interrupt this program to bring you a breaking news bulletin, here with us is Syther to bring us the report, whats happening, Syther?" Syther said "Well it appears that an odd shadow has been attacking the local residents." The reporter, a Pikachu asked "Any descriptions of this shadow?" Syther siad "Yes sir, we have found that the shadow only appears at night and has glowing, blue eyes." Pikachu replied "Very scary, is this an assassin?" Syther said "I don't think so but other Pokemon have reported seeing it turn around and return to where they were chased off." Pikachu said "Thanks for the news, Syther. We will be back when the local police discover more information. They know very little about the incidents as of right now. You will return to your original programming."

Liepard shrieked "An assassin?" Mightyena said "That's the shadow that attacked us!" I'm calling the Pokemon breaking News to report our incident." I'll go upstairs away from the noise." Liepard said "Okay."

Mightyena walked downstairs and barked "They want to interview us." Liepard said "anything that will keep us from being assassinated."
