Hello my loyal readers! This is the first part of the installment of my story, and let's just say theres more than a few goodies in here! ;) Y'all are awesome for all this support, and we've almost hit 200 more views since my last upload!

I'm writing this during my finals for college, so if I don't upload on time I'm terribly sorry, but after I take my tests I'll be able to talk with you guys and gals a lot more! ;D But I'll probably be doing most of my writing on weekends, and breaks :/

In regards to some reviewers, I never force myself to write. I write when I feel inspired and when I have time :) Writing is one of my greatest passions in life, and I'll never force myself to do it just for views.

Speaking of views, we hit 600! That's 200 views in like 4 days! That's absolutely mind boggling! We also hit 10 reviews, and it's so cool talking to you all and hearing your input and new ideas for the story! Thanks for helping me out, and you may just see your input in these next chapters ;)

I've also started making the chapters longer, because 1k words really isn't enough when you sit down and read it :/ So expect 2k or even 3k word chapters! The story won't be moving forward very much, but a lot of backstory and detail has been added so this story feels really legit!

Also, I'm considering writing a Lion King fanfic on top of this one with Simba and Nala as cubs, but I want your input! Idk if you peeps wanna read that at all, so just let me know if ya can! (It will be a short romance story, probably like 8 chaps) Drop a review if you want, and lets resolve Chapter 9's cliffhanger! ;)

Love to all of you *mwah*

-Shade 3

Shades POV (you're welcome) ;)

Freaking Shine. She knows what she's doing! I just get all deep with her, and now she's trying to get me to say how I truly feel about her! Why did this have to happen now?

I looked up at Shine, searching her ocean-colored eyes for any hint of mercy towards me. I saw none. I felt my stomach flop, and I thought quick, trying to stop the conversation.

"U-um, w-well... it's getting quite late isn't it? I asked, hoping to end the talk peacefully. Wrong move. I looked at Shine, who had a dark look on her face. Oh no.

"Shade. You're a god damn Dark type! You get more energy when it's late! Stop giving me shit and tell me the truth!" Shine hissed, her eyes boring into me. I felt my face flush and gave up, knowing that she wouldn't stop until I told her. I looked at her again, and I thought I saw her stifling a smile.

"Why would she be smiling? Unless... she likes this? Does she like me? Of course not! Stop telling yourself lies! But what if she does..? STOP IT SHADE!" I struggled silently, not sure what to do.

"Helllloooooo? Before we're old please?" Shine said innocently, but I saw fire flash in her eyes, almost seeming to advise me to start talking.

I sank down slowly, and felt myself tremble as I cleared my throat. "No, you know what? Who cares anymore? She totally wants to hear me say this, so that's what I'll do! I didn't spend all this time training to be taken out by a little crush! But since she likes seeing me this nervous, I'll play her little game and give her what she wants." I thought to myself, smiling smugly inside. I opened my maw again, and made sure to tremble on purpose and stutter.

"W-w-well i-if you re-really want to know why... i-its u-um... because I-I... WHAT THE HELL?" I roared, seeing something sprint into my home and smash into the wall. At first time seemed to slow down. I faintly heard Shine squeal in fear, from somewhere to my side. I saw the intruder look up at her and grin. Then I looked at the cave's entrance, and to my surprise, I saw a full moon. I shook my head, trying to clear my head from te momentary pause.

I had no clue who this fool was, I quickly thought of all of my enemies in the forest who would want to kill me, then I realized I had killed them all. So this was a rogue. Why the hell would a rogue attack me? I turned my head towards Shine to see her standing terrified and realized that her safety was more important than an explanation right now.

I stepped in front of her to break the other's gaze with her and stared at the intruder coldly. Shine tried to peek at the Pokemon, but I simply moved in front of her again. I didn't know who they were, but I did not like how he grinned at her almost instantly. He stared at me right back, and looked at Shine again. Then he bared his teeth at me and began to stand up.

I grimaced and knew that I would have to intimidate this mystery Pokemon to make him stop. I didn't want to let Shine see me like this again, but it couldn't be helped. I peered towards the full moon and began to soak the power in. I felt my coat turning darker, as it did every full moon. I let the power flow through my body and felt rings to begin to glow their bright green. That was one of the drawbacks of being an Umbreon, I could control my ring's brightness most of the time, but on a full moon they were unstoppably bright.

I heard Shine gasp behind me, and I quickly turned my head and smiled, letting her know that it wasn't my ability and that I was still me. Her eyes showed a huge amount of relief, and then gasped again in horror.

"SHADE! LOOK OUT!" Shine screamed. With that I heard something smash into my head and wobbled a bit, slightly amazed at how little it had hurt. I faced the intruder standing in front of me, whose eyes had gone from triumphant to horrified.

"Ooh. Bad move bud. You really shouldn't have done that." I growled, feeling rage starting to build up in my chest. At this distance I could see that our intruder was a male Pokemon with weird spikes jutting out of his back.

"Hey! Calm down you dick, I didn't know you could brush off one of my attacks. I wouldn't have attacked you if I knew that." he said with a smug smile on his face. I heard Shine sharply inhale and knew that wasn't a good thing to say.

"Oh really? So you like to hurt helpless Pokemon? You may want to close that mouth of yours before you say something you'll regret later" I warned, feeling my rage build more and my rings glowing brighter.

"What the..? Are you some kind of freak? Who has green rings?" he chortled. As he laughed I felt my face grow hot.

"Kid, this is the last time I warn you. You need to leave my home and land right now. Or will I have to throw you off?" I said in a dangerously calm voice. He glared hard at me. I wished I could see him better, because I was limited to seeing just a faint outline of his body. He looked to be slightly bigger than me, and a whole lot bigger than Shine.

"Ha! I don't think so! I spent days tracking to find her, and I'm not just going to leave her without a fight! Especially not with a disgraceful Dark type!" he barked, and grinned at Shine.

Whoops, wrong thing to say again.

In a split second I felt myself lose it. No one was going to hurt Shine ever again, until I drew my last breath. I had to see who this punk really was, I charged a huge Shadow Ball as fast as I could, and pointed it at him, grinning when I saw him back up. Shine yelped in fear, and I silenced her with a quick flick of my tail. She looked at me curiously, but kept quiet.

"Oh this isn't for you. It's so we can finally see who our little visitor is. I think he's begun to overstay his welcome, so lets clear him an exit, shall we?" I asked Shine evilly. Her eyes widened in realization of what I was going to do.

"Shade NO! This is your home!" Shine yelled.

I looked at her blankly, then grimaced. "It's a house, Shine, not a home." and pointed my head towards the ceiling and let the ball loose. It tore completely through the roof, and they both stared in awe. I was quite happy with how things worked out, because I hated that stupid cave anyway. Shine's jaw dropped again at something I couldn't see, and I turned around to see our little friend frozen in place. I chuckled, then I felt it vanish as quickly as it had come.

There was a huge boulder about to fall off of the roof.

"Hey you idiot! GET OUT OF THERE!" I yelled at him as the boulder began to slide off the roof towards him. He was still rooted to the spot, and he didn't look to be moving anytime soon.

No more. I just stared at this stranger. He had broken into my house, hit me, was disrespectful, and came just to take Shine. Yet I felt like I wanted to help him. No one deserved to die for a pointless reason, and I knew that al too well. Because of my mistakes I had the blood of hundreds of enemies on my paws, and I needed to stop causing people to die. I hated this Pokemon, but I knew that it was the right thing to do.

I growled lowly, and felt my ability begin to activate. With the increased speed, I looked over at Shine and mouthed "I'm sorry" Shine looked at me in shock. With a single lunge I flew forward just as the boulder dislodged from the roof.

Shine's POV

"Great, Shade, you've destroyed your house now. Why are you so on edge?" Shine pondered as she watched the dust settle.

In his defense, the other Pokemon was awful to Shade. I was amazed that Shade didn't rip his head off right after the Pokemon hit him so forcefully. I was even more impressed when Shade got so mad after the other Pokemon implied that he would have hurt other Pokemon.

"He must really be trying to hold his temper back and change. I wonder why he's doing this. Normally he would be tearing this Pokemon apart. Maybe he really does want to change." I thought as the dust finally settled. I peered around Shade again to see the Pokemon in the moonlight, but I was not ready for what I saw.

It was Jolt.

I felt a lump form in my throat, and I stood there frozen, just staring at him. He froze and stared right back. I opened my mouth to say something to Jolt, but instead I heard Shade's voice.

"Hey you idiot! GET OUT OF THERE!" Shade yelled at him, with a touch of panic in his voice. I dumbly looked up and saw a huge boulder beginning to dislodge from the roof of the cave. Shade stood next to me, and I could see his body quivering. Then in a second Shade's rings started blazing in their brilliant green, and he turned to face me and mouthed that he was sorry. I cocked my head curiously, then snapped up as I realized what he was going to do.

"No, Shade wouldn't do that! That's not like him! Why is he helping Jolt?!" My thoughts screamed through my body like a banshee, and as I opened my mouth to tell him to wait, he turned away and leapt towards Jolt just as the boulder dislodged from it's perch on the roof. Shade was a complete blur as he sprinted towards Jolt, and I watched in horror as I realized he wasn't going to make it. But Shade saw what I saw as well. He didn't stop, but instead charged a quick Shadow Ball and spat it towards Jolt's feet, who went flying as soon as the energy ball exploded on the ground. Jolt smacked against a wall and began to attempt to get up.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief, and ran to tend to Jolt until I realized something that made the blood crash through my ears like an Exploud had just yelled.

The boulder had almost fallen. Shade wasn't on the other side.
