Me: Hey guys!
Thunder: Hello everyone!
Shade: Hi.
Me: Dear Mew, it's been like forever since I've up-dated this story!
Thunder: Yeah, but it was worth the wait, right?
Me: I hope so.
Shade: Most likely not.
Me: Oi! Shut up! At least you get to appear in this chapter, and kick some ass!
Shade: This is true.
Me: Damn right it is. Now, reviews?
Thunder: Yes.
Me: Yay!
Dragoliched- Hey, no problem with the Skype thing. I'm happy to help anyone that needs it. Anyway, thank you very much for the review. It means so much. And thanks. I'm glad you like how I made the characters in the last chapter. It wasn't very easy, I'll tell you that! Again, thanks so many for the review, and being a fellower and fan of this story. ^^.
BlueYusei- You asked for more, you got more, my friend! I'm glad you're liking the story. It means a lot to know that people are liking this, even if it does take me forever to finally up-date a chapter. Even going by Season 0 for StarClan's sake! XD. Anyway, thanks for the review. ^^. I hope you continue to enjoy it as it goes along.
FireWing Pegasus- Yes Pegasus is gonna be a Rapidash. It made sense to me when I began thinking of characters to use for this story. I asked my friends what they thought on it, and they agreed what it made sense for him to be a Rapidash. Though, I have no idea how in Mew's name he's gonna hold Duel Monster cards... But eh, we'll cross that road when it gets here. That's still a long ways off. And yes, I named the Rapidash Flame. -shrugs- Sue me. It was like 4AM when I wrote the first chapter of this. I was gonna give him a sort of name like: Fireblast, or Wildfire, but then that would sound like Warrior Cats, and people might think it's a cross-over of Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and Warriors. Not that I would mind, but it isn't. XD. Flame might act like Pegasus, we'll just have to wait and see, now won't we? It's still a pretty good ways off before we get to Season 1, after al. XD. Anyway, thank you for the review.
Thunder: Well, that was a lot.
Me: Indeed it was. Also, I'd like to point out some roles for Pokemon again.
Kaiba-Echo the Liepard
Honda or Tristan- Splash the Piplup
Ryou- Snowy the Pikachu
Bakura- Flash the Pikachu
Mai- Lightning the Emolga
Malik- I dunno yet
Marik- -shrugs- No clue yet.
Miho- I dunno, either for her. I never really liked her in Season 0 all that much.. And um, yeah.. XD.
Shade: Are you gonna talk all day, or write?
Me: Write. Anyway, enjoy the next chapter everyone!

Chapter 7
"Wave, Ember, let me go!" I protested for what seemed like the 100th time that day.
The Water-type and Normal-type were still dragging me against my will to the new food stand in Poke Market. I wasn't too happy about it either. There was no telling in one of the two Pokemon, or both of them was there or not! One of us could get hurt, or worse than that!
"Ah, relax Thunder!" Wave said. "You worry way too much. Nothing bad is going to happen!"
"Yeah!" Ember added. "Trust us. We're our friends after all."
"Friends who are trying to get one of us killed," I muttered to myself.
It went unnoticed by my friends. What a surprise that was. The Oshawott and Eevee finally stopped dragging me once we reached the place at Poke Market. Poke Market was a rather large place with many stores, and food places. Drink places too. It seemed to go on for miles.
We stopped a a large black-and-white building that looked like a Ying-Yang sort of shop, rather than an eating place. Never the less, my friend dragged me inside, despite my protests.
"Guys!" I yelped.
"We already told you, it's fine!" Wave told me, once we had sat down.
"Yeah!" Ember added. "It'll be alright. Trust us."
"Fine," I sighed in defeat. "I trust you guys."
Ugh.. I just hope this doesn't end badly... I thought, looking around the place.
Once we ordered our food, my friends and I looked up as we heard a police Pokémon talking about the ones that escaped from jail the night before. And he said one of them might even be here at this very moment. I felt my heart stop.
I knew it! I thought, eyes wide. I knew something like this was going to happen!
"I told you, guys!" I said, turning back around to face my friends. "I told you that this might happen, and it did!"
"I guess you were right about that after all," Ember agreed, though she sounded a bit sad that we might have to leave the place.
Wave on the other hand, was grinning. But the Eevee and I stared at him. Just what was the Water-type grinning about?
"What is i-?"
"Let's help them catch the Pokemon that's here!" the otter-like Pokemon cried.
"W-what?!" the Normal-type gasped.
I stared, eyes wide, mouth open in shock. Was he serious about that? We could get hurt, or worse!
"W-Wave, are you insane?! That's dangerous!" I cried out.
"I know it is," the Water-type replied.
"Then why do you wanna do something like that?!"
"Because it would be fun!" Wave told us. "Come on, you guys ain't scared of you?"
Ember and I looked at each other at that. The Eevee sighed and turned back to the other Pokémon.
"Nah, I'm not."
"Thunder?"
"I guess not."
"Then.." the Water-type chuckled. "Let's go catch us a thief!"
"He's not really a thief.."
"Details, details.." Wave shook his head at us. "Come on, we're wasting time!"
The two of us nodded and we followed the Water-type Pokémon. We went to where the Fire-types were. They were Arcanine, five in all. And they were talking to the owner of the place, a Munchlax. The six of them turned around when were came over.
"Yes, can we help you?" one of the Arcanine asked.
"We wanna help you catch the thief!" the otter-like Pokémon replied.
"Again, he's not really a thief.." I muttered, but it went un noticed, not that I minded. I was use to things like that.
"Nah, he so is," Wave said. "And you know it, Thunder."
I blinked at that. What was that suppose to mean? I knew nothing of it, really. I was just trying to point out that the Pokemon that broke out wasn't a thief, but a killer.
It's not like he'd listen to me anyway, I thought, with a sigh.
"It's dangerous. Let us handle it," one of the other Fire-types said. "One of you could get hurt, or something way worse could happen."
Finally! Someone agrees with me!
"We'll be fine, don't worry!" Wave told them. "Please, can we help you?"
"If they want to help so bad, then let them. It's their choice after all."
Mewdamnit Wave... I thought, with a groan.
"We have an idea on how to catch the Pokemon," the Water-type said.
"How?" the fourth Arcanine asked.
"Well, we're at a food place, right?" the otter-like Pokemon questioned.
"Yes?"
"Is there anything he can't eat?"
"Berries."
"Then we'll say the food has berries in it," Ember said, catching on to what our friend was getting at. "It will draw him out, and we'll have him!"
"That's not a bad plan," one of the Arcanine said. "I say we give it a try."
The other Fire-types agreed, and the plan was put into action.
"All our food has berries in it, yes," the Munchlax said, when one of the Fire-type Pokemon asked him.
"What? Berries in the food?" a Joltik whispered to himself. He looked down at the food in front of him, which was an apple, cut up into little tiny pieces for him, since he was so small. "Now that he says it, I do feel weird.."
One of the Arcanine waked over to where the Electric-type was, while the rest of us watched him. He couched down so he was a bit more eye level with the small yellow bug Pokemon.
"Excuse me, are you feeling okay? You look sort of pale," the Fire-type said.
"F-fine," the Joltik replied. "Just a stomach ache, that's all."
"I don't think it is," the dog-like Pokemon said. "I think it's something else."
Shit! He's on to me! the Electric-type thought, as he tried to make a break for it.
The Arcanine was already on him, pinning him with his giant paw. The bug let loose a Thunderbolt attack, making him help in surprise and, and stumble backwards, and right into the Munchlax. Both Pokemon fell, and the Normal-type groaned as he was being crushed by the bigger Pokemon. He glowed a bright white color, turning back into his true form, a Didtto.
"It's Soul! The other escaped Pokemon we've been looking for!" one of the other Arcanine called out, as he kept Jolt pinned down, careful not to be shocked like the other Fire-type had.
Soul stood up quickly, and turned into yet anther Pokemon. This time it was a Fearow. The Flying-type grabbed Ember, and pinned her down with his talons, a black gun held in his wing. (AN: Yeah, 'cause Pokemon can have guns now.. -.- Shut up. XD.)
"Ember!" I cried out, eyes wide in terror.
I knew something like this was going to happen! I thought.
"Everyone down on the floor!" Soul ordered. "Or the Eevee gets it!"
We all did as he said, and got down onto the floor. I watched as Soul put a rather large leaf over Ember's eyes, blinding the Normal-type Pokemon.
"Now, I need someone to bring me what I ask for," the Fearow said. He looked around until he set this eyes on me. "You, the little Pikachu, go and get me some meat and a drink. And hurry up, or else!"
"Y-yes, sir!" I said, and stood up, and ran off to get what he asked for.
Soon enough, I had what he had asked for; meat and a drink. I had no idea if it was the kind he wanted, but at least it was something. Hopefully it wouldn't end up getting Ember or I killed.
"Thunder? Is that you?" the fox-like Pokemon called out. "Stay away! It's dangerous!"
"Shut up, bitch!" Soul snarled, and smacked her across the face.
My eyes widened at that. "Ember!"
'It's time to teach him a lesson,' the voice from before, whispered, making me up in surprise.
W-what? W-who?
'Shh.. Sleep now. Everything will be fine later..'
The Puzzle glowed, and the next thing I knew was nothing but darkness.
XXXX
'Thunder' walked over to where Soul and Ember were, and sat down the food and drink to the now Flying-type Pokemon. The Fearow looked up at him.
"Thanks kid, now get lost."
However, the Pikachu had other plans in mind. He took a seat across from the evil Pokemon, who narrowed his eyes at the Electric-type.
"Who said you could stay?" he growled, glaring at him.
"I figured I could help you past the time," Thunder told him, a smirk on his face. "You seem rather bored. We're going to play a game."
Who's that? Thunder? Ember thought. No.. It couldn't be.. It sounds like him, but different...
"A game?" Soul echoed, eyebrow raised. What sort of game did this kid have in mind? He shrugged, he didn't care. As soon as their game was over, he was going to blow a hole in the Pikachu's head. "What kind of game?"
"A Shadow Game."
"A what game?"
"Shadow Game. You'll see soon enough."
"Alright, fine," Soul grumbled.
"We're going to have a battle. The last one standing wins. The looser will face a punishment," Thunder told him.
"Sounds easy enough," the Fearow said. "This'll be over fast."
The Pikachu nodded, and stood up, as did Soul. The two walked a little bit a way from each other, before they turned back around, ready for a battle.
"I'll go first if you don't mind," the Electric-type said.
"Fine, whatever. Not hurry up."
"As you wish."
Thunder shot forward with Quick Attack, knocking the Flying-type back a bit, and followed up by a Thunderbolt, making him cry out in pain. Soul glared at him, and snarled. He took to the skies and drive-boomed the smaller Pokemon, his beak aglow with a Peck attack.
The small mouse-like Pokemon dodged the attack, and watched as the other flew back up into the air, still glaring at him.
That kid's fast, he thought. There must be a way to slow him down. I know! I'll just end it by shooting him!
Soul reached for his gun, and pointed it at the Pikachu. "Look's like this game's over, kid!"
A loud bang! was heard as the gun was fired, and the Fearow smirked, knowing hie had won their little game. He froze, as his eyes widened as he saw the other Pokemon was alive and unharmed, and a glowing eye on the Electric-type's head, his eyes glowing blood red.
"I knew you wouldn't follow the rules," Thunder told him. "The door to darkness has opened."
"What are you talking abo-?!"
Soul was cut off as darkness surrounded him, and shadows appeared with glowing red eyes. They reached out with clawed-paws and began to drag the screaming Pokemon away into the shadows.
XXXX
"See guys? I told you something bad was going to happen if we went there, and it did!" I said, once we were all together at school the next day.
"That's true, but you saved the day, Thunder!" Wave said.
I tilted my head to one side, and shook it slowly. "I told you, I don't remember doing any of that. And why would I? I'm not a killer!"
"Then if it wasn't you, then who was it?"
"I dunno.." I whispered. "It doesn't matter anyway, everyone's alright though.."
Ember nodded. "Yeah. I hope we run into that Pokemon again.. I want to meet him!"
"But from the way Wave talked, that Pokemon killed him, due to the screaming! Are you sure you want to meet a Pokemon like that?"
The Eevee nodded. "You bet. He's my hero!"
"Oh dear Mew," I muttered.
The Water-type snickered. "Oh? Upset, Thunder?"
I blushed and turned away. "S-shut up!"
He snickered once again, and headed off to class with Ember and Splash following.
I wonder.. Does what happened have to do with that voice I heard? Did he go and kill Soul in cold blood like that? I thought, shivering slightly at that idea.
"Hey, Thunder, hurry up!" Wave called, snapping me out of my thoughts. "You'll be late, if you don't!"
"Wait for me!" I yelped, and ran after them.
