You want to hear a story? How does a story filled with action, adventure, danger, and even a little romance sound? Good? Okay then, let me begin. My name is Steven, and this is my story: the story of how I found a loophole in the laws of my life, and turned a meaningless existence into a great one.

It all started one evening in early spring. I was walking through the forest, alone, as I had been for nearly six years now. You see, I am cursed. It has its ups and downs. On the downside, I cannot have any human companions; anyone who travels with me dies after about a week, and it is unavoidable. Also, I cannot have Pokémon. Poké balls malfunctions when I touch them, causing empty ones to stop working altogether, and full ones to just not activate. On the plus side, I have the power to conjure and manipulate shadows, even make them take a solid form. Sounds pretty cool, right? It is, but it doesn't make up for spending the last 5 years all alone. I've been on the run, avoiding people so they don't get hurt just because they know me It's a sad life, but it's the one I'm stuck with. That is, until I met her.

Like I said, this all started one evening in early spring. I was walking through the foliage, careful not to make too much noise. I didn't want to disturb any Pokémon, for I knew I would have to fight them, and I hate using my powers on Pokémon, because they can actually kill them. I was looking around for any berry plants, for I could use a quick meal. Suddenly, off to my left, I heard a loud rustling, as if someone or something or someone was sprinting through the bushes. I dove behind a tree, using the shadows to conceal myself. I watched through a fork in the main branches to see what was going on. As I stared, a Braixen came crashing out of the brush, gasping and looking behind her wildly. She pulled her wand out of her tail, and aimed it at the bush, her arm shaking, either out of fear or adrenaline. Moments later, two men in matching uniforms came out of the bushes. The light from the wand's flame illuminated their wicked smiles. Their outfits consisted of black pants, red short-sleeved undershirts, and black vest. One of them, a fat guy that looked about 20, wore red-tinted goggles, while the other, a tall and skinny man who looked maybe mid-30s, wore a red bandana with a black stripe running down the middle. "Have you finally given up, you little bitch, or are you going to try and get away from us some more?" The tall one chuckled. The Braixen bared her teeth, and to my surprise, responded in full English, "Give up to a couple of assholes like you? I don't think so." And with that, threw her wand in the air, spun around, caught it, and blasted the two with a blast of flame. After about 10 seconds, the flames died away, and the two were still standing there, smiling even wider. The fat one laughed. "Doesn't she know that fire attacks cannot harm Team Blaze?" he said mockingly. The tall one smiled and shook his head sadly. "Obviously not, my friend." Then his eyes widened, as if he suddenly had an idea. "Hey, here's a thought. Since she led us on such a long chase, we should punish her. What do you think?" he turned to his partner. The fat one smiled. "Well, there aren't many hot chicks back at the compound, and I've always thought Braixen were pretty sexy." The Braixen narrowed her eyes, trying to appear defiant, but I knew there was nothing she could do. The fat guy ran at her, quite fat for someone of his size, and pinned her arms behind her back. I began to panic. What do I do? Do I retain my status of True Neutral, or do I interfere? This "Team Blaze sounds like a group I don't want to oppose. I made up my mind when I saw the tall thug reach for the zipper of his pants, realizing what he meant by "punish". Chaotic Good it is, then, I thought, suddenly feeling my rage explode, and I burst out from behind the tree. The two thugs snapped their heads to turn towards me. "Who the hell are you?" the fat one inquired angrily obviously pissed that his "fun" was interrupted. I ignored the question, and said in a flat voice, "Let her go." The two looked at each other, and then burst out laughing. "Oh, and what is some kid going to do about it?" the tall one asked, barely able to ask through his fit. I smiled, then held my arm straight out to the side. Then, it was surrounded by a swirl of black smoke, which slowly formed the shape of a double-bladed helix sword. They looked at me, confused, and then the tall one reached for a Poke ball at his belt. The fat one threw the Braixen to the ground, the impact knocking her unconscious. "Go, Charizard!" The tall one shouted, tossing the ball to the ground a few feet in front of him. There was a flash of white light, and suddenly a large, orange dragon was string down at me, its eyes burning, just like its tail. "Fire Spin!" He shouted, pointing at me. The Charizard opened its moth, gathering a fireball, and then blasted it straight at me. I was instantly surrounded by a circular wall of flame. I dropped to my knees, the heat making me nauseous. This is nothing, I thought confidently. I stood up, and swung my sword straight at the wall of flame. The impact cut it directly in half, and the rest of the wall dissipated. The Charizard looked at me, uncertain. Obviously, it had never battled an opponent able to escape the fiery vortex. The tall trainer growled. "What the hell are you doing just standing there? Tear him in half!" The Charizard shook its head, snapping back into reality, and the crossed its arms as its claws turned silver. Then, it charged at me, its arms raised. By the size of those claws, I knew there was no blocking this attack. I quickly jumped to the side just as it brought its arm down, and it was shocked to find it had buried its claws into the dirt. I quickly took advantage of the distraction, and flipped my sword so I was holding it by the blade. Then, I jabbed the Charizard sharply just below its rib cage. It doubled over gasping and writhing in pain. The tall man held up the Poke ball, and recalled the Charizard with widened eyes. I noticed the fat guy was now cowering behind his partner. The tall one stared at his Poke ball, and then looked at me in fear. "W-what are you?" he said quietly. I smiled. "You really don't want to know that," I said, trying to terrify him even more. Before he could react, I held out my arm, pointing straight at them. "May your nightmares be a lesson for what you have tried to do this night!" Suddenly, the two passed out, fast asleep. I stood over them as my sword vanished in a puff of smoke, trying to figure out if I had seen anyone else in this so-called "Team Blaze". The name did not sound familiar, so I turned my gaze to the Braixen. She was lying on her side, breathing quietly. I nudged her, trying to wake her up, but she was out cold. I sighed, and tried to make sense of this situation. I knew some legendary Pokémon were capable of using and comprehending human speech, but not common Pokémon such as this Braixen. I had a decision to make: should I take her to safety and try to find out more about her when she woke up, or leave her here to be found by others? I realized these two might not be the only ones searching for her, so, sighing heavily, I placed one arm beneath her legs and one behind her back, and began to carry her of. She pressed her head against my chest, smiled and sighed happily. Okay, I thought, raising one eyebrow, this is one night I'm not going to believe in the morning. And with that, I stalked off towards some lights a little ways away, hoping this town had an abandoned house like the last one did. I really didn't want to have to deal with a Pokémon Center right now; all I needed right now was a sheltered place to rest and recollect my strength. I was beginning to feel the burns on my face from the fire attack, and knew after a good nap, my healing factor would take care of them.
