The Nincada snapped.

A thin crack came down his face.

The Machoke removed his fist from the insects back and took a step back.

The Nincada started glowing and the crack in his back started to open. A pair of wings game from the crack and out of the crack shot out a Ninjask.

'I thank you.' the Ninjask said quickly, but then he disappeared.

The Machoke looked from left to right, 'Where the hell is my damn pay?!' he screamed into nothingness. There was a brief silence before he was answered.

'Of course,' the Ninjask quickly appeared at the Machoke's neck, 'how about you get to meet your mother?' The Ninjask quickly disappeared and the Machoke looked around.

Suddenly the Machoke's neck burst into a bloody mess. He squirmed and eventually fell over dead. His blood spread over the ground. The blood slowly creeped to the shell that Ninjask burst from. As the blood licked the shell, a small halo appeared over its head. The atmosphere seemed to grow darker; the forest lay silent as the shell slowly started to float. The Shedinja rose from the shell of Nincada. A small glow appeared from the blood of the Machoke. From the blood rose a spirit, a Gastly.

'You!' the Gastly shouted at the shell, 'You did this to me!' The gas ball set off a cloud of poison at the Shedinja. The cloud struck the Shedinja, but simply moved around him.

'You should leave.' the Shedinja said. He turned his back to leave when he stopped. He felt something flowing into him. He looked behind him to see a small black pearl. The Shedinja backed up into a tree. What had he done?

'Hello Brother.' a voice game from above the Shedinja. He looked up to see the Ninjask.

'Who are you?' the Shedinja asked 'Who am I?' The Ninjask flew from his perch and came eye level with the Shedinja.

'I am Ghost,' he said, he then pointed at the Shedinja, 'You are Soul.' Soul, that was a good name. 'I am you.' Ghost suddenly said. Soul could not help but believe him. He felt that being with Ghost was right.

'What did I do?' Soul was comfortable in asking Ghost about these things.

'You took his soul.'

Soul froze, 'Did that kill him?' Soul didn't want to kill anyone.

'Of course not!' Ghost's voice sounded reassuring, 'You just transferred him to a different place, he is happy there.' Soul still believed him, even though it sounded like complete bollocks.

'What do we do know?' Soul asked, he was still pressed hard against the tree.

'I want to take you somewhere.' Ghost suddenly disappeared. Soul looked around worried. Ghost appeared sitting on a tree and beckoning, 'Coming?' Soul quickly floated after Ghost as he was led out of the forest.

This is a story told from the perspective of two pokemon in differing files. This one will detail the experience of Soul the Shedinja, the other will detail the experience of Gaze the Gardevoir.
