Bewear my power
Wow, been forever since I posted anything here...
For those who read "Pokemon XD^3: The Waves of Truth" by The Great Butler (link found here: http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=185032), you may have noticed that all the chapters from 11 onwards contain a certain rebellious Shadow Marowak.
Skull, as we all know him, has been the protagonist of his own series for some years now. Having lent Skull to Butler for his fic, a reader of his might have thought: "what happened to Skull before he made his appearance?" With Butler's permission, I will now answer that question.
EDIT: Ah, my tradition with my fanfictions continues...I once again forgot to put the rating. It's PG-13 for violence and swearing.
This is the bonus fourth story of the "Shadows of Fear" saga. Behold...
Prologue:
My name is Skull. If you can’t remember that, you’d better start sleeping with one eye open, because I HATE being called by my species name.
I’m a Marowak, a Shadow one. Yes, I’m a Shadow Pokemon. Not just a Pokemon you human idiots think you can just enslave out of the blue, I’m a SHADOW Pokemon. I’ve been that way for a little over ten years, now. And, contrary to human belief, I actually LIKE being a Shadow. Don’t like it? Too bad for you.
The whole thing started when I was eight years old. A human named Eldes managed to enslave me and my adopted sister, a Lapras named Plesiosaur, and after eight more years of being told what to do, Plesiosaur and I were subjected to an experiment in which the doors to our hearts were (forcefully) closed. From that day forward, we were Shadow Pokemon.
Pretty soon I realized how sick I was of Eldes and the rest of his species—particularly the rest of his organization, Cipher—thinking he was better than me, thinking that he could just tell me what to do when he wanted to. So I ran away. Gathering up other Shadow Pokemon that were also sick of their “masters”, I eventually knocked Eldes into the sea, freeing myself…
…for about five years. By that time, I had mated and had a kid, disproving all those meaningless little human theories about Shadow Pokemon being soulless. Even though normally I’d have run in and beat Cipher’s overgrown egos right out of their heads, I had a son I wanted to protect. So, I resorted to running. We ran to Johto, where I met a human named Zak Vangard.
Zak was…well…different. He didn’t treat his slaves badly, he just stuffed them into those stupid Pokeballs to fit in with the world. Apparently, he had a disobedient Scizor that was—at the time—in the clutches of Team Rocket. If a Pokemon didn’t obey their slave driver, they were at least partially fine in my book. I did help Zak save his Scizor, and then I realized that not ALL humans were total pains in the tail.
After that, I decided that I needed to stop running and start fighting back. So, I did. I went back to Orre, took down all of Cipher’s admins, and even fought their top bosses: a couple of grumpy old men named Greevil and Evice. Even though Evice had a Shadow Tyranitar, and Greevil somehow made a Shadow Pokemon out of Lugia, I took them both down and tricked Evice’s Slaking slave into using an Earthquake that hit Citadark Isle in a sensitive spot, causing it to break apart into little pieces. I’m not sure if Evice and Greevil survived, but I’ll be damn happy if they didn’t.
After the Cipher problems, I was briefly enslaved by a human who repeatedly claimed to be my “friend”…Michael. I beat him up, then, left to live in Hoenn for a while. There, I lived peacefully for about five years until a human whose name I can’t remember approached me and asked me to visit his Battle Frontier. I did, and met one of the few humans that ACTUALLY KNOWS my name…Anabel.
Anabel asked me to help her win a Pokemon League in the Sinnoh region. I agreed, but only because see the new Pokemon and take down any evil morons there. I got my wish for exterminating evil humans in the form of a bozo named Saturn. He thought he could use the power of Sinnoh’s two most powerful legendary Pokemon, Dialga and Palkia, to reshape the world as he saw fit. At the moment, however, all he had was the Dark-type legendary called Darkrai.
It took a lot of effort, but I managed to take down Darkrai. I don’t know what happened to Saturn, since I passed out from all the recoils from my Shadow End attacks during the fight. Eventually, I helped Anabel win the Sinnoh League, and took down the original champion. After fighting off Michael and two other slave drivers—named Ash and Paul—I left my son, Cubon, in Sinnoh (don’t start calling me an irresponsible parent, he WANTED to stay), and decided to travel the world to see more new Pokemon and new sights.
Fat lot of good that wish got me.
All that I’ve said up to this point is, for lack of a better term, a recap of all that I’ve faced previously over the decade. Now I’m bound to a region called Oceannia…and I’m currently sitting in the cargo hold of a ship called the S.S. Slowbro, since the egotistical humans up top don’t allow Pokemon aboard without their “trainers”.
Doesn’t matter. Either way, I’m going to explore this new region on my own…
…and there’s nothing you humans can do about it.

That's how it starts. For distinction purposes, every post-chapter message I put will be underlined.
So, what do you think? Short, I know, but...it's a prologue. Any thoughts?
