Hi, I’m Shadow of a Rose and this is my first fan fic to be on the Net so be gentle and “No” I don’t own Pokemon, I was just writing about them. Now let the story begin! Prologue A very long time ago, when humans and Pokemon were just starting to become more friendly and common with each other, all lived in peace...that was only for a few centuries. Soon some humans started battling Pokemon against one another, it started off as a simple competition for many centuries and this started and inspired the Pokemon League. Soon people started to train their Pokemon, in their “matches”. Most trainers were good and truly cared for their Pokemon...however there were still some who abused their Pokemon so badly that they screamed in agony and cried out for revenge! After a thousand years, the anger and pain of the Pokemon finally began to take shape. This shape literally began to form into a being or a thing of pure hate, revenge, and pain. It knew nothing of love, compassion, or friendship. It looked to be nothing but a giant black cloud but once you saw it’s awful bright red eyes, you knew that it was evil. This thing was indeed a Pokemon but it was the first and only truly evil Pokemon. Out of nowhere it darkened the sky and blocked out all traces of the sun. Then it attacked! It killed, tortured, and destroyed both human and Pokemon alike! It showed no mercy and enjoyed causing others pain and suffering because that was what it was made of. After destroying an entire village, a small movement caught the thing’s eye. A boy no older than ten or twelve walked through the burnt debris and stood right in front of the thing and looked up directly at it. “ Why have you tortured us like this, both human and Pokemon alike?!” demanded and shouted the boy. The thing only laughed. It’s laughter was so cold and heartless it sent a wave of shivers down the boy’s spine! “ I.. have done... “ This” because it is all that I know.” It replied with a sneer. “ What is your name?!” the boy demanded. “ I have no name... but you may call me “Ghost”.” The boy frowned but firmly stood his ground. “ Ghost! You shall end your rein of terror, pain, and suffering or else!” the boy threatened. “ Or else what you little “ Twerp” ?” asked Ghost while laughing. “ Or else this!” the boy thundered! The boy closed his eyes as an aura of blue flames surrounded his body glowing bluer and bluer until the flames were pure hot white! Ghost immediately stopped laughing and a new emotion began to fill him... FEAR “ What... what are you?!” cried Ghost. The boy now opened his now burning blue eyes and shouted “ You may represent all the pain and suffering but I represent all the joy and happiness and...I’m your worse NIGHTMARE!!!” He shut his eyes tight, powered up and flew straight into Ghost. Ghost felt a tsunami of pain except it was actually coming from him! “ Noooo... You cannot destroy me!!!!” Ghost howled! “ No.. not yet but for now I shall seal you away. Be gone Ghost! I here by banish you to the Nether World!” shouted the boy, who was glowing still inside Ghost. Ghost screamed as he was bathed in the hot, bright light and was sent to the Nether World. The sky brightened back up and a white blanket fell across the land. The earth and all of the hurt and dying Pokemon who were touched by the light were instantly healed. All the Pokemon in the area came out of their hiding places and looked up at the sky. A bright orb of light floated down in front of all the Pokemon and turned back into the boy but he was still covered in the light. A pikachu walked up to him and asked * Is the bad thing gone? * The boy smiled sadly and shook his head. “ I have only contained him. It can be brought back however. If a Pokemon should ever kill a human who has only shown him kindness then the bonds that hold Ghost shall shatter. The bonds that hold him are the bonds of a pure heart but be WARNED any type of deception can shatter a pure heart. Remember this message for in a thousand years Ghost shall be set free once more.” Then the boy glowed and in a flash of light he disappeared. The Ghost and Mr.Ketchum
