Now, I wanted to add some things before we begin. First off, I picked Gastly as a reborn, because no one else has. I will as well try things not many people have, either. Second, a lot of thngs in my story will be based on Japanese mythology, or just based on Japanese stuff in general. I recently played Okami, and became hooked. Thirdly, you will see things like games and movies that are based on real games and movies, but with Pokemon twists to them, so expect them to show up.
Disclaimer: I don't know why everyone does this, but I don't own Pokemon. Only the OCs I use.
My New Life
Chapter 1
I was walking down the route, my Sneasel at my side, and my Chatot on my shoulder. I had four other Pokemon, but they were in their Pokeballs right now. My Sneasel was named Chill, and my Chatot was named Stac, short for Staccato. Stac was a Shiny Pokemon, and I liked the color more than I did normal Chatot. The only things that stayed the same were his frill and feet. Everything else was different. His head and tail were dark blue, and his beak was yellow. His body was a different color as well. His chest was a darker shade of yellow, and below it was regular blue. Finally, his wings were red. I called him Stac because he liked to hop, maybe just as much as flying. Chill was a Sneasel I that had apparently gotten lost from his group a long time ago, and I took care of him. After that, he didn't leave my side. No matter what happened, he would protect me. I sometimes wonder if he had it hard in his old group. My other Pokemon were a female Pikachu named Circuit, a Male Charmeleon named Torch, a female Treecko named Vine, and a female Corsola named Jewel. I had gotten about six badges now, and I was proud of getting them. Oh, by the way, my names Greg.
We were walking down the route leading towards Lilycove City, when a strange Pokemon crossed our path. It looked like a weird brown bug, with a halo over its head. I took out my Pokedex, and checked its data. It scanned the Pokemon, and said, "Shedinja, the Shed Pokemon. It is a discarded bug shell that came to life. Peering into the crack on its back is rumored to steal one's spirit." A Shedinja? This seemed like a rare Pokemon. I should capture it. The Shedinja hadn't noticed me, so I told Stac to attack with Steel Wing. Stac's wings glowed white, and it struck the Shedinja. However, nothing happened. Shedinja saw Stac and it's claws turned black. It used a Night Slash and struck Stac, surprising the Chatot with its power and speed. Stac rose into the air, and I burst out from the bushes. "Stac, use Night Shade!" Stac's eyes glowed black, and a jagged beam of darkness blasted towards the Shedinja, knocking it out, since it had very little health. I rushed over to the Shedinja, picking it up. "I hope you're alright." I then noticed the Shedinja was facing the other direction, the hole in its back facing towards me. Suddenly, I felt weightless, and being lifted from something heavy. I glanced around, and saw my body fall over, a glazed look in its eyes. Wait, my body? That means my soul's being sucked out of it. I glance around, and saw I was headed towards the Shedinja's back. I tried fighting it, but it was no use. I was sucked into the empty blackness.
At first, there was nothing but darkness. Suddenly, I heard a giggle from somewhere, and a flash of pink sprung out at me. The next thing I knew, I was in some sort of capsule. I was claustrophobic, so I tried to get out. I pushed against the walls, and soon, I heard a crack. I pushed against where I heard the sound, and soon, I burst through the egg. The light blinded me, and I tried to shield my eyes with my hands. Unfortunately, that's the first thing I noticed. I didn't have hands. What was there was a something like a large blue gas. The good thing was, it shielded some of the sun's rays. When I grew accustomed with the sun, I looked around. The first thing I saw was what I managed to break free from. It was egg-shaped, and was black with specks of purple. It was an egg. This managed to freak me out a little, and I looked around some more. I noticed a little pond, and floated over to it. Floated? I looked down, and saw I had no legs, just more of that strange gas. What was I? When I looked into the pond, my reflection answered that question. I saw a black ball surrounded by a blue gas, which swirled around me. I had large eyes with a small pupil. My mouth had fangs pointing down from it. I screamed. I had become a Gastly, and a shiny Gastly at that. With this, I fainted. Unaware of what was going on around me, someone or something sniffed me, then picked me up, and carried me off.
