Glass: "Okay Shadow, do your thing."

Shadow: " Pokemon belongs to Nintendo. The 'What's Bad?' joke belongs to Dave Gardener. Did I do good Miss Suicune?"

Glass: "You did great. Here, have a cookie." * throws cookie*

Shadow: "COOKIE!!!!!!!!!!" * runs after cookie*

Chapter 2: What's Bad?

The trip was uneventful other then Mikhail running over a cactus. "Okay, Spikey got a haircut……." Mikhail noted, looking at the shredded cactus. He then noticed a sign that said, 'Welcome to Phenac City!'

"Hmm…Phenac, eh? Well, I made it without much trouble at least…" said Mikhail, getting off the bike. As he walked into the city's main entrance, he saw the two weirdoes ( Folly and Trudly) also walking in while carrying the sack. 'Oh sweet pineapples! It IS moving! I must be losing my mind!' Mikhail thought, horrified.

There was a man and woman practically blocking Folly and Trudly. "Help! Somebody help me!" cried a female's voice from inside the sack. Mikhail's eyes widened when he heard that. The man and woman looked shocked as well. "Dang it! That tape didn't keep her mouth shut!" Trudly cried."Help! Robbers!" the woman cried. "Hey! We're not robbers! We're kidnappers! Get it? Kid-nap-pers…." Trudly explained.

Mikhail stepped forward, holding his two Pokeballs and showing a clearly ticked-off expression on his face. "What do you want punk?!" Folly snapped. "Drop her!" Mikhail demanded. Folly and Trudly looked at each other, then dropped the sack. A pained groan could be heard from the poor captive inside. Mikhail smacked himself in the forehead. 'That was a dumb thing to say...'

" I meant let her go!" he yelled. Folly then noticed Mikhail's Pokeballs. "Oh, and if we don't, you'll battle us over it?" Folly asked, not at all pleased. Mikhail's golden eyes narrowed and he repeated himself, "LET HER GO!" Folly pulled out his Pokeballs, a sign of refusal. "Go, Whis and Mur!" he cried. "Shadow, Tory, I choose you!" cried Mikhail.

Tory's eyes glowed and he slammed Whis with Confusion, knocking it into the yellow. Shadow ran to Mur with his fangs barred and Bit it so hard it flinched. Whis attacked Tory with Uproar. ("Hmph, is that ALL?") Tory taunted, shrugging off the attack with ease. His eyes glowed again and Confusion struck Mur, knocking it out.

Shadow then ran towards Whis, ready to Bite it. Whis then attacked both foxes with Hyper Voice, knocking them back a little. Shadow growled and leaped at the Whismur, who was scared senseless. Before Shadow could touch it, it fainted. ("Okay, THAT IS PATHETIC!") the Umbreon cried.

Folly recalled his Pokemon and said, "There's only one thing left to do! RETREAT!!!!!!!!!!!" He and Trudly fled the scene, leaving the sack. Mikhail smirked, feeling rather good. The man who had been watching bent down by the sack and tried to untie the rope around it. "Dang, this knot is tough," he started, turning to Mikhail, "Hey you, Eeveelution Trainer! Can you help me with this?" Mikhail nodded. "Then grab the other end will you?"

Mikhail bent down and began untying the knot. When it was untied, a young girl who looked to be about nineteen crawled out. She wore a blue jacket with pink fuzz on it and a purple shirt underneath, while her skirt was gray and her boots were pink. Her orange hair was done up in two ponytails ( like Ash's friend Misty) and she wore a black necklace with a yellow crescent moon shape hanging from it.

Her sapphire eyes met Mikhail's golden eyes and the two stood there, absolutely stunned. The man and woman near them watched them in confusion, Shadow and Tory ( especially Shad) watched in horror. They knew exactly what was going on. ("Poor Mikhail.") Shadow muttered. Tory nodded. ("Good aim.") he said, confusing Shadow.

Somewhere, sitting on the walls surrounding Phenac was a young boy with white wings. He wore a white robe and held a golden bow and arrow with hearts on them in his hands. "That Espeon is right. I never miss." he chuckled, watching what he had done to Mikhail and the girl. "I love my job…" he said dreamily before flying away.

The girl finally came to her senses and asked, "What happened?" The man looked at Mikhail. "This guy here rescued you from those thugs." he said. Mikhail was still dazed. The man rolled his eyes. "Hey you, Eeveelution Trainer! Introduce yourself!" he cried, clapping his hands. Mikhail woke up from his trance and said, "My name is Mikhail Starlight…"

"That's a nice name. I'm Mysty Knight." said the girl. "Mysty…." Mikhail whispered, as if liking the sound of her name. Shadow was freaking out. ("What's wrong with him?! How could this happen?!") he cried. ("Shad, it's this thing called love and I believe it's finally caught Mikhail.") Tory replied, actually taking it very well. ("Oh, this is bad…") Shadow said, then he looked dumb struck, ("Tor, what's bad? I forgot….")

("Well Shad, bad is what ain't good!") Tory joked, not wanting to pass up this chance to toy with his paranoid brother. Shadow was so panicked, he also forgot what 'GOOD' meant. ("What's good?") he asked.

("What ain't bad! By the way, weren't you supposed to have a relaxed nature?")

("I'll be relaxed when I have something to be relaxed about! And weren't YOU supposed to have a careful, not carefree, nature?!")

("Touche'.")

"Why were those freaks trying to kidnap you?" Mikhail asked. "I saw this strange Pokemon that fought like mad. It would even attack people! It had this eerie black aura around it…" Mysty started, her eyes growing worried, "I have to warn the Mayor of this city!" The woman walked to them. "Pardon the intrusion but I can direct you to the Mayor's House," she said, pointing towards the stairs, "Just go up those stairs and head to your left. It's the biggest house in Phenac. You can't miss it."

"Thanks. Mikhail, would you be a dear and escort me there? My Pokemon are kinda beaten up." Mysty asked. "I'll gladly escort you there." Mikhail replied. ("What are you doing Mikhail?! It's a trap!") cried Shadow. ("Actually, I'm starting to feel happy for him.") Tory said calmly.

("You're supporting this?! TRAITOR!!!!")

("In more ways then one… Oh, Gonzap's Pokemon probably hate us…")

Mikhail recalled his Pokemon and began walking towards the Mayor's House with Mysty right behind him. They didn't say anything. When they made it to the house, a strange man in a peculiar purple suit walked out. He noticed them and crossed his arms. What freaked the two out was that his long, white hair was blown in different directions, even though there was no wind.

His cold gaze pierced through Mikhail and Mysty's very souls. He eyed them for a while and said, "You two are travelers if I'm not mistaken?" Mikhail and Mysty nodded. "Fufufu… Maybe we shall meet again sometime." With that said, he turned to leave Phenac, but before he did, he let his eyes lock with Mikhail's. Mikhail felt his blood freeze and he tried to tear himself away from the heartless gaze. The man then left.

"Myst, were you freaked out by that dude at all?" Mikhail asked. "Very." Mysty replied. Mikhail nodded and said, "Okay, so I'm not the only one…" The two then walked into the house and were greeted by the Mayor, who, no offense, was shaped like an egg… "Oh! Visitors! How may I help you? I, Mayor Es Cade will do whatever I can." he asked. Mikhail motioned for Mysty to speak.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "I was traveling when I saw this strange Pokemon. It had a black aura around it and would attack anything, even people!" Es Cade gasped ( though it sounded fake to Mikhail). "What? A Pokemon with a black aura? And you say it would attack people?! How is that possible?" he cried, trying to sound worried. Mikhail immediately pounced on him verbally.

"Well, didn't you say you would help? It sounds to me that you're trying to get out of this!" he yelled. Es Cade turned to Mikhail and said, "What? Oh yes! We will start an investigation at once! We'll let you if we get any leads." Mikhail grunted and backed away, still not trusting Es Cade.

"Hey, while you're here, why don't you pay a visit to our city's pride and joy, the Phenac Stadium!" Es Cade said cheerfully. Mikhail's left eye twitched. 'You're trying to get rid of us, aren't you?' He and Mysty walked out of the house. Mikhail heard his name whispered and turned to face Es Cade. The Mayor's expression looked angry. Mikhail bit his lip and walked away, thinking to himself, 'Y'know, Orre reminds me of Johto, only dustier, and everyone I meet looks like they wanna hurt me...'
