Hm... mind an extra man?
By the way, I plan on playing through Pokemon White with the Dark-type. As for my team, I just train as many Dark-types as possible and build suitable squads for each point in the game.
And I'm a little confused: is the no-trade rule in play or not? Because I don't know whether I should trade a Pawniard and Zorua egg over or not.
Anyway... on with the challenge.

Casting the Shadow of Victory: The Yami no Game
"Looking back at my life, I've certainly been through a lot. From a reclusive, slightly power-obsessed and lonely boy to a public idol: a hero, a role-model and a Champion. Yet I'll never forget that fateful day that I met my first true partner, the man destined to become my adversary and the day I found myself on the road of a trainer..."
It all began when Prof. Juniper sent me and my childhood friends Cheren, an intelligent young man who seeks more power, just like me, and Biance, a slightly ditzy girl however that's because of the enviroment she grew up in, a strange present containing three Poke Balls.
Due to the stunning lack of Dark-types, I decided to just go with the smug-looking Grass Snake. It will have to do for now.
POKEMON OBTAINED!

After that, Bianca challenged me to a battle. Terrible mistake on her part. Especially when her weak little Oshawott was struck by a Critical Hit Tackle after three leers. Easy win. After that, Cheren and his Tepig decided to challenge me. The pig too was struck down with great ease.
After that brutal sweeping, we decided to thank the Professor for the Pokemon... even though Snivy seemed to hate me. Don't worry Smugleaf, I hate you too.
After being handed some Pokedex thing and five Poke Balls courtesy of Professor Juniper, we headed off to Route 1 together. During the walk, I heard Cheren trying to flirt with Bianca... normally I wouldn't care but this time... I punched him. I didn't know why, I just did.
From there, I traversed through Route 1, beating the heck out of several Patrat and Lillipup, before I arrived to a strange sight in Accumula Town: a strange man in robes preaching about Pokemon 'liberation'. Normally, I'd ignore these madmen however I decided to listen this time... and wasn't particularly bothered.
Then a stranger, going by the name of N, approached me, wishing to battle after hearing 'my Pokemon's voice'. Annoyed and angered from the speech, I brutally thrashed his Purrloin (feeling a little pain after I learnt it was a Dark-type) before walking out of the town, too angry to care about healing.
Whilst on the next Route, I was greeted by a badly injured Purrloin who had recently been ousted from its mob. Despite its injuries, the small guy seemed to hold onto that optimism of his, however back then, I wasn't a huge fan of optimism. I felt like leaving the weakling to suck it in and keep going however... I felt sympathy. This little guy, who seemed so innocent and jolly, had been brutally attacked and ousted from its pack. Finally deciding to use one of the Poke Balls Professor Juniper gave me, I captured the small Purrloin, deciding that it would be my first Dark-type. I then gave him a nickname, a word for dark that was once part of a now-dead language: Acerbus.
POKEMON OBTAINED!

After taking the little guy to the Pokemon Center and depositing Snivy with Professor Juniper, I proceeded to put him under my training plan. As time went on, I noticed the differences. His muscles were now properly developing, his claws were beginning to sharpen and his confidence and efficency had increased.
Smiling in triumph, I headed off to face off against the Gym Leader of these parts until... I encountered Bianca, who wished for another battle. Ignoring the strange feelings in my gut, I faced Bianca on the battlefield and swept her with only Acerbus. Accepting defeat, she walked away, her smile never leaving her face...
The feeling of another victory swelling through me, I looked out at Striaton City, ready to face off against the Gym and cement my title as the future King of Darkness...
