Chapter 2: An Injury Faded

Shadow woke to see the day was bright as his den filled with light. He looked around the room and groaned as the headache hit him.

"Oh man… I'm never drinking with Faith again" He said reaching for his things, I guess I'll go see how Faith is feeling"

The thud behind him made him snap around. April stood i9n the door way looking at him with steel in her eyes. He turned completely around and saw that it wasn't only in her look but in her body language… she was angry.

"Hey April" He smiled, "What's up?"

"What happened when you two got home…. What did you do?" She said looking harder at him.

"Not too sure" Shadow rubbed his throbbing head, "I remember carrying her because she was to tired to walk for so long… We hugged at the door as we said good night then I came here and went to bed"

"Oh, Okay" The anger left her eyes suddenly, "Well today so happens to be the teams day off… I can't really tell you anything except go have fun"

"I think I'll get some training in today then go on a picnic with an old friend"

"Okay I'll see you later" She tossed something to him, "Almost forgot, Faith sent these over… She says she had fun last night"

"A pair of shades… where did she get these from?"

"You'll need 'em if you want some sun today" She said with a smile, "Faith really likes you… she doesn't want me to tell you how or where she got them from but she said they match you"

"Wow" He put them on and clipped that strap that would hold them under his mane where it hid the strap, "How do I look?"

"Oh my…" She said seeing how it went with the black lines around his eyes… almost like he put on eye shadow. It was perfect for him, "She was right they're your style"

"Great" He said looking at her with a smile , "Tell her I said thank you and last night was the most fun I've had in a long time"

"Count on it" She smiled.

"Well I'm off" Shadow said walking past her, "Don't do anything I wouldn't"

"I'm pretty sure that's a long list of what I can do" She yelled after him.

"You'd be surprised what I wouldn't do" He said to himself with a smile.

Shadow walked into the dojo after Mienshao. She had agreed to teach him what she could, seeing as he needed a brush up on his fighting. She would only teach him what his body would allow him to do though. He would be starting simple, locating pressure points and using them against his opponent. It was an easy task though… He could also learn to do a lot because being a fox he had a lithe and flexible body.

"Amazing" Mienshao smiled stopping her training dummy, "Your flexibility is outstanding"

Out of nowhere she attacked him with a left hook that would put others flat on the ground if by surprise… but he flipped over her and his clawed fingers caught the her shoulder just right, pinching nerves and making her left arm useless.

"How?" She looked at him in surprise.

"Timing is a son of a bitch isn't it" Shadow smiled, "But once I get it down my opponent's a goner"

"I think that's enough for today" She said with a msile, "You're natural at this… It's almost like you're born to fight"

"No… It just means I've been fighting for a long time now" Shadow frowned, "So how's your sister and her friend?"

"They're fine… Medicham's able to stand and move around on her own now"

"That's good" Shadow smiled reaching for his shades and pulling them from the small table they sat on, "Well I need to go"

"Have… Come back soon okay" She smiled waving after him as he walked out the door.

Shadow started walking around the town that he still had no name for. He didn't know his way around the town yet and he needed to find Angel and hopefully she'd be free so they could have their picnic and catch up a little bit. He could leazrn a little bit so he also knew where the hell he was at.

"Shadow!" He turned to see Angel running for him.

"Hey what's up?" He smiled looking at her as she came at her as she came sliding to a halt.

"Someone went inside my home and took all my stuff" She said gving the saddest eyes she could muster up, "And I can't find an exact trail"

"Lead the way" Shadow said going down to all fours. He followed her fast but it was strange… they were at least a mile out of town before they got to her little hut that she had help building.

"Why do you live all way out here?" He asked as she led him inside.

"For privacy mostly" She said as he looked around an empty room.

"You weren't fooling, they took everything" Shadow said before sniffing at the air, "That's very strange… I don't even smell your scent in here"

He looked around before going back outside. It was like water had washed away everything… he couldn't smell anything except his own scent. Angel joined him outside and was slightly surprised to say the least. His face was literally pressed into the dirt.

"Nothing" He said before standing beside her, "Looks like I'm just going to track using tracks"

"Huh?" She said finding the way he phrased that a bit confusing.

The only problem was that they were only people to make visible tracks so far. He cursed on the inside with a small bit of anger.

"Hey what's that" Angel said nodding her head into the trees. Angel took off at a run into the trees that surrounded the town. Shadow ran after her and saw that she had spotted a mirror that gleamed a small speck of sun that was shining through the trees, "It's my mirror" He sniffed at it and looked at her with an evil smile about him, "What?"

"I can smell you on it" HE said looking around, "Which means I can track him because of your lovely scent… At least I have something to enjoy from this"

"Okay… you go on and I'll go get some friends"

"Okay" He said dropping to his forelegs, "I'll leave a trail for you to fallow"

"Okay"

He walked forward sniffing the air once again. He looked to the ground as his right front paw left a thick trench thanks to his claws. It had been a while since he actually smelt Angel's scent… he hadn't smelt it since six days before his ex-trainer dumped him.

"Never thought I'd use a girl's scent to catch a bad guy though" He said looking around.

His claw continued digging a deep long trench in the ground as he walked forward. Not only was he using Angel's natural scent but he could smell the scent that said she was female. He knew the scent from back when he was with James and had helped her get through her Mating season when her peaks of arousal were full circle, 24/7. An hour later though found him running up a hill instead of thinking of the past… climbing at the best speed he could running up hill where his own weight was against him.

"I love how I can get things like these for free" He saw the Scrafty pulling the wagon along.

"Hey" Shadow said jumping and landing at the bottom of the hill in front of the Scrafty that had its hood over its head, "Theaving won't get you very far in this world"

"Oh does the little Angel have a Dark Knight" Scrafty smiled looking at Shadow, "Well I guess so because you're both dark types… how'd you find me, I had a water type hose away everything so I couldn't be tracked"

"Yes but you see you didn't think to soak everything that you took" Shadow smiled looking at the Pokémon that now grew wide eyed in disbelief, "I know her scent well… you're an idiot"

"Those are fighting words pall" Scrafty said looking at him with a from, "And I don't feel like fighting"

"I'm taking you down and you're going behind bars for a long time" Shadow said taking his battle stance.

"Well you're serious so I guess I have no choice" Scrafty smiled, "Well I don't really want to cheat but since I'm in a hurry" Scrafty ran forward and raised his head. He seemed to be using Headbutt but soon appeared behind Shadow wielding an Ice Punch.

So he's been through a true mating season already… Scrafty's species can't learn that move unless they breed, Shadow looked at Scrafty momentarily, "Slow" Shadow said as he flipped over him. He landed with a nasty kick to the back of Scrafty's head, "You see… Man up and this might not have happened"

"Hey Shadow" He looked up hill to see Angel and a team of Arcanine running up.

"Hey Angel… I got all your stuff back" Shadow said and hugged her when she jumped to take him to the ground, "After we get it all back and in its proper place want to go on that picnic we talked about?"

"Sure" She said nuzzling into his soft white fur. She was thankful he was around again.

"Before you leave town kid, stop by the criminal detention center we run" The Arcanine said with a smile, "I would like to talk to you"

"Yes, sir" Shadow smiled grabbing the handle of the wagon Scrafty was using, "I'll come right after I take her home when we finish our picnic"

"I'll be expecting you young blood"

"Good bye for now sir" Shadow said, "Oh yeah… I might have kicked him in the back of the head hard enough to kill his movement for a while"

"You have a lot to answer for Tyrell" The Arcanine said grabbing the thief by the hood, "I don't think you'll be seeing the outside world for a long time"

"I'll get you for this you piece of shit Zoroark" Tyrell yelled after the white and black fox. Shadow just walked alongside Angel who was laughing at the comment.

Shadow and the cheerful Angel were soon done with their nice, peaceful picnic on the ocean cliff under some very nice and low, shade producing palm trees. Shadow escorted her home and went straight to the Arcanine Detention Center to see the Arcanine that started this system to try and help bad Pokémon to no longer be a danger to society.

"Hey!" Shadow yelled upon entering as two Growlith were taking him to the ground, "I'm here to see someone damn it"

"Get the hell off him you idiots" Shadow saw the Arcanine standing in a door way, "I'm sorry about them, they're still rookies"

"Don't sweat it" Shadow said hopping to his feet, "But next time I will be fighting back"

"That's how I was trained so by all means, go ahead" He smiled looking at the rookies as they went back to standing beside the door, "If you'll follow me Shadow"

"Right behind you sir" Shadow followed him into the back office like room and was took by fear as the papers around him were all on him.

The most noticeable was the wanted poster he saw. It was four years old and showed Shadow without his shades and still had a blue tint to his eyes.

Each hardship he went through had caused his eyes to grow colder as did his emotions, taking a little bit of the blue in his eyes and leaving dead looking silver eyes.

"I'm sorry about the trouble you've had over the years" The Arcanine said, "Looking at these old files made me think of how stupid people can be… I personally wanted to thank you for aidding in the capture of Tyrell. He's been an annoyance for quite some time"

"He doesn't know what honest work is… I was hoping it would teach him something"

"I also wanted to give you something" Arcanine smiled, "It will tell other rescue teams that you are a friend of mine and that you are a soldier of justice and peace"

Shadow had to admit… A black vest would look awesome with his white fur and everything, even if it was made for an Arcanine and not a Zoroark. It had a badge like stamp on the an the left shoulder. On the back it read 'Never let what's important go'.

"Wait… why are you giving this to me?"

"To say sorry for the way my brother treated you when you were in the red region on that resue team, he wasn't raised that way" He said and with a simple ember the papers were burnt fast and seemed to only be memories, "You have nothing to worry about here"

"Thank you sir" Shadow smiled, "I've been wanting to meet somebody that could do that for me for some time"

"Come with us on a gang hunt sometime" Arcanine smiled walking with him, "We need a nose like yours from time to time"

"Any chance I get" Shadow smiled before walking out, "But no promises because I only have one day off a week"

"I'll see you around Shadow"

Shadow walked out of town once he got out of the Detention Center. He didn't bother taking the trail that would lead right to team base but instead enjoyed a walk through the trees right to his den along the cliff that had sort of formed and helped make the canyon that Cella Forest laid in. He walked through the entrance and found a still slightly hung over Faith. He smiled sitting next to her at the table, she looked happy as ever despite her hang over.

"Well what bring you here?" Shadow smiled, "And please don't say it's to go drink some more"

"No you're safe for today" She smiled, "Just thought I'd talk to you some more"

"Okay" He said standing, "Can I get you something… water or something to snack on"

"I'm fine Shadow" She said looking at his red bracelet, "You said something last night and I wanted to ask you… how did your mother die?"

"She just got old and sick" Shadow said with a frown, " The night before she died she actually told me something that gave me hope back then, if I grow strong enough to evolve into a shiny I can be normal again" Shadow paused to smile, "Little did she know though is that you're born a shiny… you don't evolve into a shiny"

"So your mother was just a natural thing?"

"Yes… I evolved into a Zoroark after she died… I evolved because my father showed up drunk in the middle of my family's grieving" He bowed his head, "I hadn't seen him in since I was two and he shows up just to say good riddance. I beat him into a coma in front of my whole family. My brother had to knock me out because once I evolved I couldn't stop beating on him"

"It's understandable though" She looked at him seeing he had removed his sunglasses so his tears could fall freely to the table. She got to her feet and came around him, "It's okay Shadow"

He felt her arms around him and smiled as she was comforting him. He found something good from a bad life. He had a good person that he was working on as a close friend. Faith could feel the hard muscles through his soft fur.

"Okay I'm back" Shadow said, sounding normal and the tears seemed to vanish, "Thanks Faith"

"My pleasure" She smiled, "I hope you don't mind me saying you're ripped"

"No I don't mind" Shadow chuckled, "But it's strange how that's what you notice though"

How is it strange?"

"NBever mind" Shadow smiled looking towards the entrance to his den, "Seems to be time for dinner"

"I think you're right" Faith smiled, "You're still welcome to join us"

"I think I will"

The Next day…

"Buenos dias (Good morning) Shadow" Pelliper said landing on the mailbox, "How are you this morning?"

"Bien (Good). Y tu (And you)?" Shadow smiled looking at the bird who was schoked.

"Muy bien (Great), gracias (Thanks)" He slid the mail into the mail box, "I didn't know you spoke Spanish"

"A little bit" Shadow said looking back as Faith and April walked up, "Look who's finally up"

"Oh shut up" Faith said with a smile as she stopped beside him.

"Adios" The bird Pokémon took off.

"Gracia" Shadow yelled after him.

"Oh no" Aprl said as she read the note, "We need to go to the Fields of Fire"

"Why?" Shadow looked at her.

"A little Igglybuff is stuck there and his family after already searching can't find him"

"I won't be able to smell anything over the smoke" Shadow warned, "There is a reason it's called the Fields of Fire"

"Oh Damn!" April said looking at Shadow, "Do you know how to track by other means?"

"Yeah… not really" Shadow said looking towards town, "Hey let's go see if one of the other teams around here can help"

"Okay" April said, "I'll go, you guys get a head start"

"Okay" They took to running to the Fields of Fire.

Shadow usually avoided the Smokey Valley. They were full of fire types that wanted nothing better then his skin as a rug. It was natural though, he had caused a lot of trouble running from water types that followed him from the other region where he had become a fugitive. He was getting fire types drenched when running through the Fields of Fire.

"Okay… Am I the only one getting a little scared over this?" Faith asked as they came to the directional signs.

"Don't worry" Shadow said, "I'll be right by your side if anything happens"

"Okay" SWhe said looking at him.

He was a little nervous but not scared. It was hard to tell though because his eyes seemed to always be blank but even more so because he wore his sunglasses. He had left his vest in his den but he knew his fur would still screw him over.

"Well I see where we need to be going for all this… Follow me I know a short cut through Cella Forest" Shadow said looking at the path they had made a day ago, "I say we use the path we took to get to the forest then go from there"

"Okay"

"I wonder if we could get that Houndoom to help us?" Shadow said running at her as she shook her head,m "Probably not"

"It would be best" Faith agreed although having a fire type in fire type country would help, "What we really need are some friends in the water department"

"That would be nice" Shadow agreed, "Hopefully April brings a water rescue team with her"

"We can only pray"

Shadow noticed the familiar path as they ran through the start of Cella Forest. The trees darkening the forest floor in ways he didn't like. The trees in Cella Forest menacing in the ways they bent and moved with the wind. It was paradise for most dark types like the pack of Mightyena that Shadow had faught. He ran ducking under the same Flamethrower. They just kept running.

"How long does this damn forest go?"

"I don't really know for certain" She admitted, "We've never gotten a job this far out and mostly we work the other side of this region"

"Really"

"Yes" Faith smiled, "We're actually the only team that built a base like we were iun our neighboring region"

"Well I guess we can talk our way into some trouble over on thjis side because I have just a little history over on this side"

"I guess so" She smiled… She thought it was a little goofy the way he said that, "You say the goofiest things sometimes"

"That's how it works sometimes" He smiled looking at her, she was giggling just a little bit, "I'd say anything to make such a beautiful girl happy enough to laugh when we're in such a situation"

"You go with the talking into some trouble" She said, "I'll be trying to talk us out of trouble"

"Okay" Shadow said looking ahead, "I still can't believe so much damage went into the making of this valley"

"Neither can I" Faith said as their conversation turned serious, "I wasn't even born when it happened but the forest was trying to come back when I came around… the lake that used to be water was turned to steam when the fishers came and filled it with lava instead"

"It went from the old name to Lava Lake" Shadow smiled looking away from her as he dodged a tree. The dark menacing trees slowly thinned until nothing but rock and hardened lava was left. It was unlike anything he had ever seen the first time he went through and he didn't like the fact that it was just a pure thousand miles of scars left from destruction, "Speaking of Lava Lake, I think we're getting close to Lava lake"

"How can you tell?"

"I can smell the sulfur and soot" Shadow said as they started into the sparse terrain. Trees just disappearing and leaving hard rocked ground that he couldn't really take to the rough bottoms of his back paws, "I don't think we have the time to go over the lake"

Shadow stopped and looked down into the lava… it was a good 10 ft. drop into the lava and it stretched for over 200 yards all the way around. He thought of the worst possible thing he could do and he was excited by the risk of not making it alive… Jumping it and charged by a Dark Pulse from hell. His thought process caused that mental block to slip though and Faith read what he was thinking and knew it would cause the death of a team member. She held her arm out as he took a step forward to look over the edge again.

"Don't even think about doing it Shadow" She said with a hint of commanding steel in her voice.

"Have you seen how high and far a Zoroark can go when they're powered by a strong Dark Pulse?" He asked looking into her eyes.

"No and I don't care to find out" She said looking around the lake, "There's got to be a way that we can get across faster…" She looked at Shadow as he went to open his mouth, "Without risking our lives"

He shut his mouth and looked down at his feet with a frown. The flapping caught their attention as they looked up and saw the dragon type flying over the lake. It looked to be a Salamence from what Shadow could make out.

Using her psychic power to throw her voice out there she screamed to the dragon type, "Excuse me… can you help us?"

Salamence looked down and found that it was in fact a Salamence. Landiung with a small shake of the ground under his weight, "Let me guess you want to go straight over the lake?"

"Yes please?" Faith looked at him, "There's an Igglybuff stranded in the Fields of Fire"

"I see, cut down on time and get it out fast" Salamence said with a smile, "Hurry climb on, I'll fly you over to the other side"

Shadow picked up Faith bridle style and jumped to the dragons back. They were soon jumping from his back and running with a wave back to him.

Meanwhile…

"Trust me, they're way ahead if they took the short cut to go through Cella Forest and around Lava Lake" April said running with Terra a Flygon, Rex a Gyarados, and Bella a Dragonite, "And our new team member made this short cut straight through to the entrance of the canyon and the forest"

"Okay" Rex said looking on, slithering across the ground was hurting his stomach but he was more worried about the little Igglybuff… the pain was worth it even though he was used to swimming in the water, "Sorry I can't fly like the other two or we'd be there by now"

"It's okay" April said looking up at him, "Even it we're late… better then never"

Rex looked over at Bella who nodded and started dropping to April who was soon surprised as Bella grabbed her and lifted her up to Rex's head, "I can at least pick up the speed without worrying about running you over"

April looked from above the menacing trees of Cella Forest as they entered and could see for quite a ways from Rex's head. It was a beautiful sight until her eyes reached the smoke that rose further ahead of them. Rex got her mind off of it as he picked up speed and she had to hold on for dear life.

"Okay" Shadow said looking around the fire that was shooting through little cracks that used to be fishers, "Where do we start?"

"Um, Shadow" He looked where she was pointing, "He looks mad"

"I think he remembers me" Shadow sai as the Charizard came forward with a vengeance.

"Shadow started dancing away from Faith and looked at her for a quick second, but that's all the Charizard needed.

"Shadow duck" Shadow heard her warning and jumped away from the Fireblast.

"Oh that was dirty" Shadow said dodging and jumping forward with his Night Slash. He caught the Charizard across the chest, "Damn that actually hurt me more then you I think"

Shadow looked at his paw and felt the sore spot around his claw. He must have rolled onto his paws when he was asleep the night before. It hurt like it had almost been pulled out and it caused him to whimper a little bit when he hit the Charizard with his claws. He looked at the Charizard again and saw that the giant lizard with wings was smiling and looking at him with a smile. It wasn't something that he needed at this moment in time.

The Charizard ran forward again with the flames bursting through its mouth… the Fireblast once again burst forward only to dodged by a flipping Shadow, "Let's see you take this one…"

The Shadow Ball caught Charizard right in the chin. Snapping it's head around with a speed that made Shadow proud of his strength. He frowned as the Charizard turned around and rushed forward in blind rage. Shadow used his trump card which he knew would bite him in the ass the minute it was over. He charged forward and had the glow about him as he used Giga Impact and slammed his shoulder into the Charizard's head, bone crunching under the power of the impact. It knocked the Charizard out cold. Faith ran forward and caught Shadow's shoulder before he had the chance to fall to the ground. He smiled as she put his arm over her shoulders. He slowly stepped forward with a smile on his face… something was different about him in many a ways. She was a little spooked because he didn't like the fact that he was acting a little happy in such a situation.

"Ah shit I'm on fire" He said waving his arm wildly, patting the fire on his leg out. He smiled as it all happened and it wasn't his usual if it hurt self but he could feel it singing the skin under his fur, "Sorry… that was really burning me"

"It's okay Shadow, just don't do it so suddenly next time" Faith breathed softly, "That scared me half to death"

"Sorry" He said knowing he couldn't help it. Slowly his fur would melt away as they crossed over fire here and there because it was everywhere.

"I think I see the Fields of Fire ahead" April said looking from Rex's head, "No, my fur"

"Back when the world's worst natural disasters where happening… fishers opened everywhere here in this place and all the trees were burnt away. An earthquake closed them to cracks about a foot wide and they always spew fire because of the pressure of such a small exit point. They took over the whole field and became the Fileds over Fire since because it goes on for miles" Bella said looking at the rest of her temporary team mates, "When we get back we need to separate and start the Missions we started on this morning"

"If you're worried about your fur April, just stay up there" Rex said with a smile, "I do enjoy your company"

"I can't" April said with a smile, "I'm sort of the team medic for my team"

"Okay"

They were going straight through the fire, the warmth somewhat soothing on Rex's ground sore stomach. April's mind went into panic mode as the loud explosion sounded, her head snapping to the rising cloud of fresh black smoke. She wondered what it was but when the loud roar came they went for it.

"Look" April yelled as she spotted the battle zone, "SHADOW, FAITH!"

As they reached the dangerzone Shadow fell to the ground next to Faith who held a crying Igglybuff. Shadow was out as cold as ice, Faith barely conscious enough to keep the Pokémon held tight in her arms.

"What happened here?" Terra said before diving with Bella. She came back up holding a fainted Shadow, "The fur on his chest and stomach is singed away"

"Let's get out of here" Bella said carrying a weak Faith who still clutched the Igglybuff.

Where did it go wrong? She asked herself looking over at Shadow who dangled loosely in Terra's arms.

~~Flashback~~

"I think we found the place" Shadow said as a Blaziken, Typhlosion, and three Charmeleon circled them. He noticed that Blaziken held the Igglybuff, "We'll be taking him back to town and his family now"

"You'll have to fight us to get him"

Shadow jumped and was soon behind him with the Igglybuff in his arms as his Hand shot out with the Night Slash, landing right on the back of Blaziken's head knocking him out fast, "Watch what you say… I'm awfully mean when people take children"

""Shadow watch out" He turned and soon jumped away from the flaming tail, "Here… guard the kid and stay close to me"

"Got it"

Shadow was soon pulling her away from attacks and flames as he sent Shadow Balls back at the attackers. Then she did what she could never do… in the heat of the moment Shadow couldn't see anything but she caught the Typhlosion sneaking around and letting the attack go while Shadow's back was turned, she she shoved Shadow to the ground turning her back to the flames and protecting him like he had her. He got to his feet and looked at her feeling the thankful feeling that spread through his heart but it turned to blind rage as he saw the three Charmeleon approaching him. He charged forward as the Dark Pulse built within him… he released I as he stopped between them and knew they weren't going to get up even if they weren't out for the count. Shadow's guard dropped and he was too late to stop the attack the Typhlosion sent at Faith. Using the last amount of his strength he flashed in front of her and acted as her shield. He took the attack straight to his chest and fell to the ground beside her… smoke rising from him.

~~End Flashback~~

Faith looked at Shadow again and smiled, Thank you, Shadow.

Shadow looked at April as she finished with his bandages. She was very gentle with him, he wasn't used to the gentle treatment. She tied it off and got to her feet, standing in his den.

"That should hold for the night" She said happy with her work, "I'd hug you for doing what you did but it would hurt"

"It's okay" Shadow said, "How's Faith holding up?"

"She's on her feet already" April said, "Right now she's talking to someone who wants to join our team"

"Really, who?"

"Hey Shadow" He heard from outside, "I got some one for you to meet"

"Come ine" Shadow smiled seeing her but his smile faded seeing the guy behind her, "You!"

"Yes me" The Gallade said with a shit eating grin, "Name's Chase"

"I'm assuming you know Shadow" Faith said looking between the two as the rivalry sparked between them.

"How'd you go from wining against a pack of Mightyena to going down with a burnt body?" Chase said looking at Shadow who was still baring his teeth.

"He was stopping a Flamethrower from hitting me" Faith said seeing Shadow curl into a ball, facing the wall, mumbling something that sounded like 'I can't believe my luck'. She smiled, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I'm just tired" Shadow said with a smile that was fake as hell, "Welcome to the team Chase"

Shadow closed his eyes to sleep but was interrupted by April, "You have tomorrow off Shadow"

"Yipee" Shadow yawned before letting sleep claim him once more.

Sorry it took so long guys... I'm working on like five stories at the same time. Anyway here's one chapter of this story and I'll have the next chapters of the other stories up as soon as I can.

Peace out,
