This is what happens when I have an idea at 2 in the morning and decide to work on it.
I know I already have a ton of stuff to work on, and I have more planned, but this is just soooo... !
I just really wanted to post this. It's different from most of the other stuff I've done, and I really like the idea, and I hope you do too.
Be sure to leave a review and let me know what you think!
Also, I have a Tumblr, with the same name as here, Ashxfizzy, if you wanna check that out and talk to me on there instead.
Anyways, enjoy the story!
On the outside, Kat Jackson had the perfect life. She was sixteen and beautiful, with medium-length black hair and sapphire eyes. She was smart, athletic, and pretty popular.
On the inside, though, it wasn't all that great. Many years ago, Kat's mother had been killed in a freak accident. Her father blamed the Pokémon she had been working with, which had survived. His anger at her mother's death grew and grew until he came to hate all Pokémon entirely. Kat was banned from having anything to do with them.
Nobody knew, of course. Of his hate for the creatures the world adored. Just as nobody knew that many a night he would rip Kat from her bed and drag her into the woods beyond the city, where he would force her to watch as he found the weakest Pokémon he could and tortured it.
The first time it had happened, Kat had tried to stop him, tried to run. He had beaten her senseless. She had tried to run man times after that, but each time the punishment was worse.
Tonight was one of those nights. It hadn't happened in a while, and Kat had thought that perhaps her father had finally had enough, but she had been wrong.
Chills ran through her body despite the warm summer air. The thought of running crossed her mind, but she shook it away resignedly. He would always catch her, and her punishment would be severe.
Her gaze strayed upward as she blindly followed her father. The usually clear summer sky was filled with dark, ominous clouds. It seemed a summer storm was going to break.
Turning her eyes back to the road, Kat reached for her throat out of habit, for the necklace her mother had given her before she died. It was nothing flashy, just a simple silver crescent moon pendent hanging on a black ribbon, but it was her most treasured possession.
Lightning flashed as Kat and her father passed into the woods, and Kat swore she saw a dark shape moving in the trees, but it was too dark to be able to tell for sure. Thunder cracked as she silently willed the Pokémon to be well hidden for the night.
It seemed that they were, as her father dragged them deeper and deeper into the forest until Kat had no idea where they were. "Dad, can we please just go home?" She asked hopefully, but her hopes were quickly dashed. "Never."
Lightning flashed again, and Kat barely stifled a scream. A large, dark figure loomed over them, barely illuminated by the lightning. It seemed to be made entirely of shadows, except for its eyes, which glowed red.
You have caused much suffering here. The voice was deep, but soft, like a whisper in the darkness. Now you must make amends.
Kat couldn't see her dad. She tried to look back at him, but her body was frozen. Lightning flashed. Thunder cracked. A blinding white light enveloped her, and she lost consciousness.
When Kat awoke, the sky had cleared. She could see glimpses of the stars through the canopy of trees. You are finally awake. The Shadow was where it had been before Kat had black out. She tried to stand, but she couldn't. Her body felt strange.
In order to right your father's wrongs, you have been changed. You are no longer in your human form. The Shadow's words didn't completely register until its form shimmered, becoming clear, and she saw her reflection.
It wasn't a human looking back at her, but a Pokémon- an Umbreon. But while a normal Umbreon was black with yellow rings, the one looking back at her had blue rings. A shiny. There were still traces of her human self, though. Her necklace still hung around her neck, and her eyes were the same sapphire blue.
You will have to be careful. The Shadow warned as the reflection faded away. Umbreon are nearly never wild, and unheard of wild shiny. You will be well sought after.
"What if... What if I get caught?" Kat's voice faltered.
You will be as any Pokémon. Should you be captured, you will be bound to your trainer, even should you return to your human form.
"I can be human again? How?" But the Shadow had already disappeared, leaving Kat and her questions alone in the dark.
