The return of the shadow.

The return of the shadow. For 13+

OK, this is my very first attempt to write anythin so don’t be to rude when you crack me off. Also I’m dutch and I don’t have access to an englisch grammar checker, so it WILL contain many typos. I hope you’ll kindly point me to them.

The story itself is the prologue to XD and what happened in the eyes of greevil. Actually he’s in jail and writes his memoires. This will also mean it’s very short. I think 3 chapters max. And I don’t even know yet if I want to write after the prologue (meaning it can turn out to be a one-shot).

OK so I’ll begin:

This are the memoires of the shadow incedents by greevil.
After being beaten by Michael, I’ve seen the light. I was wrong al the time. But at the point I started it looked like such a good idea. Turning pokemon into fighting machines to make them do things daylight couldn’t stand. I’ve spend almost all my money into it, and I didn’t get a thing in return, save for the hatred I caused. I should have known this, after I got away with the first incident. I got beaten by some kids. But they proved me one thing at the time: the shadowing proccess wasn’t strong enough.

I put more money in the project hopping to find a way to make a shadow pokemon who couldn’t be purified, and I did… but new problems arose: the process wan’t perfect and drained energy from the pokemon itself. In order to create the perfect shadow pokemon, I had to find one of the strongest pokemon in the world. At that time, Team Rocket in Jotho discovered a Lugia, but failed to catch it. I decided to catch it with my remaining shadows. Its power was incredible, even my shadow pokemon had a hard time to beat it. After a long intensive battle, I caught it. Ready for the shadowing process… but there was nagging something at me. It was the first doubt I had over the shadowing project. If a Pokemon could become so strong on its own, why making shadows? After I caught the Lugia I returned to cita-dark isle, where my engineers where busy creating the storm machines in order to keep visitors away.

I trusted Lovrina with my Lugia, and she did a good job on shadowing it. I couldn’t even recognize it when I got it back. It was scary to see, and in its eyes there was a thirst for blood. After that, my son, Eldes, spotted a ship loaded with Pokemon. Ideal to make shadows out of them. I sent lugia to it, and it took the ship away along with its pokemon, while throwing the humans overboard. However… when flying above the desert when returning the ship, Lugia stoped, it became crazy and attacked the helicopters. Those man gave their lives for a stupid shadow project. I asked Lovrina and asked why Lugia did that. She said that although we knew much about shadowing, we knew nothing about purifying, and could also not know how to stop that process.

She did something tremendously stupid after that. She abducted proffesor Krane, and by wich she put the eyes of the entire region on the Shadow Project. It got even worse when one of my members showed a shadow pokemon in public. So I rushed the last pokemon throuh the shadow factory and handed them over to the members of my team. But it was too late. Proffesor Krane got rescued, and all of the shadows in the desert lab were snagged. Though it wasn’t completely hopeless, I got to know that “they” used a snag machine again.



So I informed team snagem of the machine, hoping that they would steal it, so I was save. They did stole it, but got beaten by the kid. Later I understood that someone betrayed me, he showed their hideout to him and stole one of my shadows. The kid also showed up at the factory, luckily all pokemon had gone through the process, so there was no need for anymore. But than I blundered, feeling confident I told him where my hideout was. It was the worst mistake I ever made. With his snag-machine he snagged my Lugia, and with him he beat my and my life. But he showed me that shadowing Pokemon was wrong. Ardos wanted to blow up the island with the kid on it. But I didn’t, I saw my mistakes and surrended, as did Eldes. Ardos however fled, and is pherhaps busy with another shadowing plan. If he does he won’t be stoped. He learnt from the earlier mistakes. And


So that was it. If I get a good rating I’ll continue with
Ardos’s plans

These two excuses are the worst apart from "I'm new." =/

Try getting a beta.

Sentence is a little confusing, making it difficult to understand.

And incident.

o_O. Can't comment much that only spelling and grammar have problems. Get Microsoft Word. It's much better. You do know how to paragraph though.

Read 'Advice for Aspiring Authors', it might help.

I have microsoft word, but I don't have the englisch grammar. Can't get it either cause I need a CD-rom wich I don't have. Have done the typos.

Oh and CWisgood. I'm willing to accept critism, I mentioned being Dutch for having grammar mistakes. If I had a proper spelling checker I wouldn't have mentioned that. And don't spam saying that that are lame excuses, for you ahven't told what's wrong.

I wasn't spamming, I was telling you that those two excuses will not help. In fact, most critics will probably yell at you for using those excuses.

Also, if you need a spellchecker/ grammar checker, you should find someone to be your beta reader (as mentioned above) to proofread your work. Spellcheckers and grammarcheckers aren't that accurate.

if you do not know much english, then do you know how to write in dutch?
if u do, then write the fan fic in dutch,then translate it into english using a langauage translator,just type in language translator on google and it should come up with one you can use.

That's stupid advice, online translators are notoriously bad at translating large chunks of text.

Your best bet is to get a beta reader fluent in English and Dutch and have them translate it for you. If you can't find one then just use an online translator and pass it to an actual English beta who can then fix the grammar.

OK OK, enough with the grammar advises already. I want advises for the plot and story, not for grammar. I'll get someone to pre-read it. And I wasn't using being dutch for a bad fic, but for bad grammar. And being my first was NOT used as an excuse for being bad. It was used as an excuse for not getting flamed like : OMG this is the worst I've ever read." or "you suck lolz".
