Stories of Shades

by ShadeslayerZycron

As an author, I have realized I tossed my charaters and stories right into this website without fleshing out the characters. These short stories will help make it so you can understand the charactersw and get to know them better. The Shade family will be the main focus, but I will include some stories from the Fell family as well.

2. Chapter 2: the encounter

Zycron walked out into the nearby forest. People warned him years ago it was dangerous, but had stopped telling him since he had come out unscathed three years ago. Espeon, his just evolved partner, followed behind him. Just earlier Zycron saw a shadow fly over Vaniville, where he lived.

"You sure it's around here?" Espeon asked his partner, "And if it is how will you catch it? I don't know if an eight year old trainer can tame such a beast."

Zycron smiled. "Espeon, I told Zed and Drake I would catch it. I also told Sera."

Espeon flicked his ears. "You told Sera that you saw a Giratina? Are you sure that was wise, Zycron?"

Zycron nodded. "She is competitive, but I can beat her to the catch." He brushed aside some hanging scrub and saw a wide clearing, the trees all spread outward. "It must have hit the ground here."

Suddenly, shadows converged on one spot, and a gold and silver dragon-type Pokémon appeared in the center. Zycron just smiled. "It's really a Giratina."

The Giratina screeched out, seemingly in distress at its current situation; here it was, the Renegade Pokémon, and it was being confronted by a child of all things. It fired off a Shadow Ball.

Zycron reacted fast. "Espeon! Use Swift to dissipate its attack!"

Espeon jumped into the air and spun around, stars appearing out of midair and striking the Shadow Ball. Without waiting for Zycron, Espeon also fired off a Shadow Ball of his own. "Zycron, toss the ball now!"

Zycron nodded and reached into his pocket, where a single purple and red pokéball lay. He pulled it out and tossed it right at the Giratina. "Master Ball, GO!" The Master Ball hit its mark, and the Giratina vanished inside of it. Zycron walked over to where the Master Ball laid and picked it up. Suddenly, a voice called out.

"Hey, Zycron! You okay?!" It was Sera, running in Zycron's direction. "I saw your battle from afar, how did you manage to catch it?"

Zycron held up the Master Ball and laughed. "Your father gave me this, Sera. He had heard me say I was going after a Giratina, and gave me this to use when I thought right."

Sera smiled and slugged him on the shoulder. "Kid, one day you and Espeon will be a great trainer and partner, but for now you don't have to scare me like that." Sera smiled. "Let's go home to Vaniville. I'm sure Zed and Drake will be happy you caught that."
