PMD: Shadows of Shade

by beachshipper 557

The very last thing Ryker the riolu expected was to wake up from his boring old life in the body of a riolu! With the help of a silly fennekin called Ember, the duo will go on an epic quest to save the world from the shadows that cast their shade over it. But how can Ryker stand up for others when he doesn't understand his own heart?

3. Chapter 3

Ryker was just about to follow Ember when his head felt dizzy. He took a step forward, but the fox pokemon looked blurry in front of him.

"Ryker? Are you alright?"

The Emanation Pokémon tried to speak, but before he could he fell to the floor.

Flashback

Everything was white. Ryker tried to move his hands and feet but found he couldn't. Before he could try and speak a voice called out.

"You fail miserably! Everyone found out, and they're disappointed in you… What do you do?"

Ryker thought, and his mouth seemed to move just as he thought of an answer

"Think of an excuse." He replied softly.

"Do you think blaming something you did on someone else is sometimes necessary?"

Again Ryker thought, and his mouth moved just as he got an answer.

"Of course!" Ryker said.

"You've been asked to do a difficult task. What will you do?"

Ryker lifted his hand to his chin to think, and found it was human! He couldn't talk about that though, all he could think about was the answer.

"Make someone else do it!"

"Right." The voice answered. "A Sassy type like you will be… Riolu!"

The Emanation pokemon tried to ask a question, but before he could he opened his eyes, and he was still on the beach. Ember looked right at him, tilting her head again.

"Hey silly, why are you staring like that?"

"I…I…" Ryker replied. "I think I just saw the past."
