Chapter 1.1

There are many strange things in this world. Many of which cannot be explained, likewise many such creatures cannot be explained. Pokemon. How did they come about? Why do they work together with humans as a way of life? But there is one thing that is known, they will not pass away as a phase. They are part of life itself.

Let me tell you a story of courage, fear, desperation, darkness, love and friendship. One thing you must understand before this story is read, Pokemon are different, even two of the same species, evolution, parent. They are different. Please take note: there are normal Pokemon, (those that caught in the wild with normal coloration and skills,) then there are the amazing shiny Pokemon, (these Pokemon have advanced skills and appear in a different shade from normal,) then there are those special Pokemon, those developed because of a Pokemon prophecy, equal in ability (or even more so) to the legendaries.

Finally those Pokemon that are rare above all, the ones that will drive this story to it's tragic climax, Dark Pokemon. It is said these Pokemon are created through human experimentation, but I know that there are others. The Dark Pokemon are not limited to this, some Pokemon have grown up with mental and spiritual problems. They have grown up different from most Pokemon and to an extent shun company and dislike others, Human and Pokemon.

Let me take you to an island called Somar. This island, based far from Kanto/Johto and Hoenn, and thus far from their influences. To the North lies Somar's port where from everyone leaves and enters Somar, a separate quay is designed only for those trainers talented enough to cruise to the nearby isle of Osmar, where the Elite Four and it's Master Champion battle those worthy only once a year. This fact alone would set certain motions in action.

Thus far we shall begin our story, please take heed, for following the path of the Dark Shadow will undoubtedly lead to your downfall. Is there any happiness herein these pages? Find out!
