I remember the first day I received my snivy...
I was 10 years old, and so excited for a pokemon of my own. I got up extra early so I couldhave the pokemon that almost everyone wanted.

I walked to the professors lab in the cold morning, dew still dripping from the grass outside my house as the sun slowly peeked over the tree line.
Teh cold air invaded my lungs, causing them to burn as I ran to the professors lab.
Finally I arrived, just in time as I saw some other trainers appearing from over the hill.
The professor opened the door and I ran to the desk with the three pokemon on them. I looked carefully at the three- Tepig, Oshawott, and Snivy.
I smiled at the smug-looking grass type, and he looked up at me with interest.

I quickly picked him up just as the other trainers walked in the door, illiciting a few disappointed huffs and sighs.
I didn't care though, I had a snivy.
I held him up, and the sun filtered through the window revealing he was an iridescent blue-green.

A shiny.
My heart swelled with joy and I hugged the snivy close.
He nuzzled my cheek and I thanked the professor before walking out the door with my snivy on my shoulder.

I peered at the pokemon, trying to decide on a name. What would fit?
Hmmm...
Maybe something Japanese? Midori?
no... too feminine.
Kiiro?
Close...

Kira? Hm.
Yeah, I suppose that would work... although it was still a little feminine...
Maybe that was enough of the Japanese attempts...
No... wait...Zero?

I supposed that would do. It was my favorite Vampire Knight character besides Kaname, although Zero was a lot more smug in my opinion.
I smiled at the Snivy, and explained his new name. He seemed slightly confused, but I explained it was a good name, and he smiled in agreement.

We walked many routes together, and I raised him to a high level. With Zero by my side I felt I was undefeatable.
When he reached level 50 or so, he learned two moves that were abnormal for a snivy, but I thought nothing of it.
He learned Destiny Bond... and Curse.

Something was wrong about Curse. The move deleter saidf for some reason Zero refused to foret the move, and when Zero used it, it looked the same as when my Misdreavus used it, not like a normal type would usually look using it.
I figured it was nothing to worry about, since Zero was still himself- as smug and happy as ever.
I had given an everstone until he was a sufficient level, but I told him he was welcome to remove it if he decided he wanted to evolve.

One day, after an intense battle with a Houndoom and the ending with Zero having only a tiny sliver of HP left, as well as being poisioned; I took him to the pokecentre, when we arrived he was mere moments away from fainting.
I quickly passed him to nurse Joy, along with the rest of my team.

Nurse Joy smiled and gave me back 5 pokeballs. I looked at her questioningly.

"Your Zero will take a little longer to heal due to his burns and his poisioning, but he'll be just fine."

She smiled before walking back into the room. I felt somewhat suspicious, her smile having been more of a smirk.
I sighed and put it out of my mind, Nurse Joy had always freaked me out anyways, it was probably just my imagination.

Finally nurse Joy returned Zero to me with a slight smile, almost... evil?
I shrugged it off again as paranoia and exited the building.

I walked a ways away before encountering a pokemon. I quickly sent out Zero and was shocked.
He looked... strange to say the least.
He was normal from every angle... but his eyes.
His eyes were deep black, with tiny yellow pupils. His mouth foamed slightly, as though he had pokerus.
Nervously I held up my pokedex to check his status.
He had a new move...
It was called Destiny Curse, I noticed he also had Payback as a move now. His two other moves had been replaced with Rage and Guillotine.

The houndoom across from me looked suddenly nervous and whimpered in almost an attempt at begging.
Not sure what to do, I ordered Zero to use rage.
To my surprise, he promptly jumped on top of the houndoom and used his claws to tear into it's flesh.
I watched with horror... what had happened to my sweet, shiny Zero? Where had he gone? What did nurse Joy do?

He jumped off of the houndoom, who lay crying and whimpering in a pool of blood, unsure what to do I fell to my knees.
Zero looked back at me, his eerie yellow pupils glowing in the grosing darkness.
Suddenly he turned and my pokedex registered he was using Destiny Curse.
The pokedex showed his HP being cut in half, before going black.
I looked up to see him preparing some sort of strange attack.
He was glowing with a red aura.

In a flash of movement the houndoom cried out with a loud and terrible shriek.
When I uncovered my eyes I felt afraid.
The two of them now were staring at me.
Both of them had yellow pupils in black eyes.

Suddenly Zero was surorunded by more of the Aura.
I jumped back, afraid.
In a flash of crimson blurr I found myself laying on the ground, my arms and legs cut and bleeding, staining the puddle around me deep crimson.

I turned my head slowly to peer one last time at my reflection.
I shivered.
My eyes were beginning to turn black, and my pupils yellow, I cried out in sudden pain.
My eyes felt like they were burning, boiling in the sockets.

I noticed Zero and the houndoom nearby.
The houndoom was snacking on a skitty while Zero was looking straight at me with his yellow eyes, a smug smirk plastered on his demonic face.
From the shadows moved a figure- the professor.

"Good Job, Ichiru. Our plan always works, this year is the best catch... now we can begin our experiment."
Hnnnghh...

What is the professor planning?
I already know... hehe
Expect a sequel I guess :XD:

It was good in the beginning, but near the ending I got tired..
this is what happens when I spend too long writing one thing
