Prologue
I got this, I got this, thought a young Gible. Soon after, the ground the rock he was aiming at was again scorched by the Pokemon's Dragon Rage attack.
"DAMN IT! WHY CAN'T I AIM RIGHT!" screamed the Gible. He had been trying to hit the rock for the last 3 hours, and hadn't hit once yet. He was beyond angry.
He turned around to go home, when he ran head-on into an orange Pokemon.
It was a shiny Latias.
"Whoa, are you alright?" said the Gible. The Latias nodded shyly.
"Yes, I'm fine. W-what about you?" replied the Latias.
"I'm fine. Just confused by your color for a couple of seconds." said the Gible. He started grinning widely and giggling.
The Latias smiled and looked at the Gible quizzically. "Oh? How so?" asked the Latias.
"Well," replied the Gible, "I asked myself, what's a Magikarp doing on land?" At this they started giggling wildly, then started laughing uncontrollably. They stopped after a while.
"I'm… hahaha," said the Gible, still giggling, "I'm Shadow, by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Shadow." said the Latias, "You can call me Liera."
"Nice to meet you, Liera!" exclaimed Shadow.
While all this was happening, they were being watched by 5 Pokemon at the same time. Zoroark, second-in-command of the Yin Syndicate, ran off to tell his leader something. Liera's older brother Latios watched on, happy that his extremely shy sister had finally made a friend. Unbeknownst to anyone there, a Metagross was laying there- the 'rock' Shadow had been aiming at with his Dragon Rage attack. A Salamence was flying above them,simply watching. And finally, there was a mysterious Pokemon hiding in the shadows, who disappeared to tell his dark master what had happened.
