"But I am normal. Why can't you see that? There's-" That's when it finally hit me. My loyalty to Colress, and the fact I have no need to eat or sleep. My skin is grey, for Arceus's sake! I look over my body, and release all the pokemon that I had not before. I look at them, and then myself. "What... what happened to me..? No, I can't... I refuse!" I run, while screaming in disbelief, to the side of the cave, and pound my fists against it, unwilling to accept what Colress did to me.

My back arched, and my body shook violently once. I stood up straight, and when I spoke my voice seemed more calm, more smooth. "Hmm... that was a close one. I was starting to lose control there." I said, my eyes flashing red. "The old me nearly broke free due to your 'healing.' Well, the kid gloves come off NOW!" I ran foward, faster than Latios or his sister. I grabbed Liara by her shoulders, lifting her up in the air. "You hurt one of your friends, Liara," I say, as if I'm talking as someone else. "Now, you'll come with me."

OOC: whoops, got too wrapped up irl to post. Sorry!
IC: "Ha! You think a petty attack like that will knock me out? Take this!" I say, using shadow rush (Yeah, shadow trainers can use that too) on Aroma. I jumped back, but stumbled and fell. My hand touched the water near the bottom of the cave, and the darkness on me retreated. My now-normal hand seemed to have a mind of its own, and punched the body it was connected to. "Why you-" I say, forcing the darkness back into control.

(This next bit takes place in my head- creepy.)
I stood there, looking at the manifestation of darkness that took over my body. Around me was nothing, the realm of a mind. Just a floor, and the wind was made of words that flew past us; thoughts. "I'll never submit to you!" i shouted.
"You must. it is your destiny." He threw shadows at me, and they wrapped around, almost strangling me to death. but then I felt a surge of power enter me. I knew it was Liara's doing.

Outside my body, A great flash of light engulfed the area, as green as Celebi. When it ended, I lay unconscious in the pool of water,which was blessed by the lake guardians. The shadow being was out of my head, and my body was my own again. One by one, the same thing happened to each of the pokemon I controlled, except for Weavile, who fled.

"Ugh... my head..." I said, sitting up. "Liara? Where are we? What happened?" We were interrupted by a glob of shadow matter jumping on my form. I punched, I kicked, but it only seemed to be affected by the water. I splashed it on the shadow, and it reeled. The form slowly stood up, and it resembled me.
"Finally." It said, in a smooth, calm voice. "I can use my power without that worthless creature of light holding me back!" It raised its hand in front of my pokemon, and Kiara, Joshua, and Pandora were overcome by a shadow form. They were shadow pokemon again.

Shadow-Zack looked around, and called his three pokemon into thier pokeballs. "I can see I'm at a disadvantage here..." He melted into the floor, and disappeared. "Until we meet again, lovely Liara..."
Rex, Ace, and melody surrounded me, and I hugged them affectionately. "Liara, I don't really remember what happened to me. But I am your guardian, or at least your first one. Now, I intend to do my job." Rex and I reached out with our arms, inviting Liara to join the reunion grouphug.

"Master Colress, they had thwarted me..." Shadow-Zack said.
"Well, then get un-thwarted. if Liara obtains the gifts of the legendary trios of the world, we will be ruined. Now, get to the ruins of Team Plasma's castle in Unova. I believe you can sway a certain someone to help us..."
"Yes, sir."
(Back in the cave)
"Yeah, I hate to say it, but Mespirit's right. We need to get you to see some legends." I say, calling the three pokemon nearby into thier pokeballs and putting the capture devices in thier slots on my mechanical arm.
(OOC: By the way, I was wondering what the gifts would be. Like, are they pokemon attacks based on the trio you visit? Like, the Lake Guardians would give you Psychic or something.)

"Beasts... Ah! You mean Entei, Raiko, and Suicune of Jhoto?" I say, since I am familiar with most regions. "Ace and I can take you there, Liara. You know, since Rayquaza left because of deoxys. Least I could do for you helping me fight off the darkness. Plus, we can catch up on the way over." I start to walk out of the cave, beckoning you to follow.
(At N's castle)
"W-What? You can't be serious!" A boy with green hair said.
"Yes. If you don't help me get Liara, I will use my powers of darkness to corrupt your kingdom and ruin Team Plasma. Now, Will you help me?"
"Ugh..." N thought hard, since he was asked to hunt down the girl he fell smitten with. "...Yes."

I walk next to Sora, offering him a spot to sit on my shoulder. "Well, the shadow trainer would be... me, I guess. I knocked off the darkness possessing me, and it took my form." I look back at Liara, and walk over to support her since I see her having trouble walking. "You okay there, princess?" I asked, using a (Sort of) appropriate nickname.

Ace waited outside, stretching his wings. "Here, I'll help you up on him," I say, lifting Liara onto Ace's back. I climbed on behind her, to steady her. "Sora, you tagging along?" I ask.
Ace mumbled to himself: "When I get my feathers on Colress... how dare he corrupt his god..." *unintelligible grumbling*

"He's been link that ever since I hatched him from an egg. I don't exactly know why, but it drives him for his training." I turn to Sora again. "Hey, the offer's not gonna stay open indefinately... are you with us or not?"

OOC, to SoraChainAMV, I'm Zack. Pokemon trainer, green hair, yellow eyes, and a mechanical left arm, not unlike Ed Elric's from Fullmetal Alchemist.

IC: "Yeah, he's already met Latias. shame about her brother, though, I would have liked to meet him." I pulled Sora onto Ace's back, and he squaked rather loudly. "Oh come on, Ace. A pidgeot could carry more than you."
"I WILL NOT BE OUTCLASSED BY A LESSER!" he screamed, and before he took off, I shot Uxie an "I-don't-care-but-it-works" look.

OOC: i thought this took place post-(Insert most recent pokemon movie here.), after Pokemon Heroes. In that movie, (Spoiler) Latios dies. So he can't be here. Latias can, though.

IC: "I'm pretty sure that Ace will accidentally knock us off trying to beat a legendary, Uxie. He's done that to me on more than one occasion."

"IT IS ON!" Ace shouts, and accelerates to an incredible speed, for a staraptor. I barely hold on, let alone support Liara and Sora on his back.
"Ace! Slow down!"
*Ignoring me* "I AM THE BEST! LATIAS, I AM YOUR GOD!"

I slap Ace hard on his head, causing him to slow, hard. Sora starts to fly off due to inertia, but I grab him before anything bad happens. "What got into you, Ace?"
"She," Ace said, indicating Latias, "Started the challenge by flying circles around me! How could I refuse such a challenge?"
"Ace, just let it go. You're not Arceus."

OOC: sorry for swapping your gender (Lol). Whenever i see "Sora," I think of the main hero from kingdom hearts. Don't mind me, I'm bad with names. In the beginning, I kept calling Liara "Lyra."

IC: Ace grumbles, but continues flying. whenever he spots Latias, the faintest of blushes appears on his face. Within a few hours, I spot Jhoto on the horizon. "Hey, Princess," I say, gently nudging Liara from sleep, "We're here. Time to track down the three beasts. And I know someone who can help us."

"Ghiratina? The reverse world pokemon? I wouldn't want to meet up with him when he's angry." I say while returning Ace to his pokeball. "Now, Liara, I need to-" I'm cut off as I notice Sora. "Uhh... whats with the crystals..?"

"Yeah... you look kinda like this one picture of Jirachi's crystal shell I once saw, but more transparent. Thank Arceus Pandora isn't around, she'd probably make fun of you for it like the (word deleted due to rudeness) she is." I turn to Liara. "So, as I was saying, I know a pokemon that can help us track down the beasts of Jhoto. Ever heard of Celebi?"

"Well, if you're so aquainted with him..." I whistle four clear, clean notes into the air, creating a small tune. I repeat the tune three times, and wait. After about a minute, a green fairy-like pokemon appears from the forest nearby.
"Zack! You called?" Celebi said, hovering in front of me. he looks down to see Sora. "And Sora! You're... coated with crystal again..."
