Indigo:
Can I have the mirror and the amulet back?

Black:
Fine.

Black handed the amulet back to Indigo. Indigo put on the amulet around his neck. As he did, Null came out of the door and looked around confusingly.

Null:
Indigo?

Indigo:
Hey Null! You're awake!

Silvia:
Hey fellow sylveon!

Null:
Hello.

Null waved at the other eeveelutions and then walked over to Indigo.

Null:
So uh... what did i miss?

Leafy:
Nothing much. You just missed the introductions.

Indigo:
This is Null. My slimy friend!

Null:
Hello!

Black:
So that's why I felt slimy when I was carrying him.

Null:
Well to be honest, I was born from a science accident.

Indigo:
And his ink heals anyone.

Pearl:
Heals anyone?

Indigo:
Let me demonstrate.

Indigo scratched himself in the cheek, but he screamed inside when he scratched himself. Null placed his paw on Indigo's cheek. He rubbed the ink around it and instantly healed up the scratch he left.

Indigo:
See?

Crystal, Lazuli, Silvia, and Sunshine were amazed.

Shift:
Its his specialty.

Sean:
Mhm.

Leafy:
Its co-

The girls realized Shift, Sean, and Garrett were awake and were surprised after a few moments.

Lazuli/Pearl/Leafy/Crystal/Silvia:
GAH!

Crystal:
Come on! you're not trying to act like Blacky are you?

Black wasn't bothered one bit.

Garrett:
Sorry for scaring you!

Pearl:
Its fine.

Indigo:
Why don't i do the introductions this time? Right behind me is Black.

Black:
...

Indigo:
Then there's Leafy with is the Leafeon and Lazuli the Glaceon.

Lazuli:
Hello.

Leafy:
Hi!

Indigo:
the Sylveon is Silvia.

Silvia:
Hello!

Indigo:
The Eevee is Sunshine and the Espeon is Pearl.

Sunshine:
Aye!

Pearl:
Nice to meet you.

Sean:
I take it that you've told them our names.

Indigo:
Yeah.

Someone's stomach began rumbling.

Pearl:
What was that?

Black:
It seems like someone is hungry.

Indigo realized that he never ate anything at all. He was the one with a rumbling stomach.

Pearl:
Why don't I make lunch today!

Silvia:
Ok!

Sean:
We can help out!

Pearl:
But I can't ask you to help me.

Sean:
Think of it as owing the favor back.

Lazuli:
I'll help out too!

Sean and Lazuli agreed to help out with the cooking.

Indigo:
I'm going to be trying to see what's wrong with the mirror.

Garrett:
So.... I guess we have to go exploring then.

Shift:
We need to find the shadows.

Black:
I want to come with you.

Garrett:
Are you sure?

Solarflare:
We can fight. besides, you don't know where to start.

Shift:
He's right.

Garrett:
Then I guess you can join us!

Null:
Before you guys go, take these.

Null grabbed 5 bottles out from his inventory and poured his ink in. He sealed the bottles and handed them to Shift.

Null:
If you get hurt, rub these on your wounds.

Shift:
Thanks Null.

Black:
Let's go.

Shift, Garrett, Black, and Solarflare departed in their search for their evil copies. Indigo stayed back and worked on the mirror. Pearl, Sean, and Lazuli were cooking lunch, and Null, Crystal, Leafy, Silvia, and Sunshine were playing around.

Black, Shift, Solarflare, and Garrett were walking through the forest.

Shift:
Aren't we going to check the town first?

Black:
No. If your copies were in town, there would be a commotion, but it seems that the town is peaceful.

Shift:
True.

Solarflare:
So, um... Shift and Garrett.... can I ask about something?

Garrett:
What's up?

Solarflare:
Did... you happen to have a berserker virus in your world?

Shift:
No? What is that?

Black:
To summarize things short, It's a virus that can make any Mon go berserk like Flare.

Shift:
Uh oh! does that mean we've been going outside without any mask protection!?

Black:
No. It's more of a liquid than an actual virus.

Garrett/Shift:
Oooh.

Garrett:
That makes sense.

Shift:
We don't have that in our world but if its closer to that then Indigo is affected.

Solarflare:
Indigo?

Garrett:
He doesn't have the virus.... But he's cursed.

Shift:
He was cursed when he touched the amulet.

Black:
So, what I felt before was his curse.

Garrett:
Yeah. The curse gave him extra powers such as his form "100% corruption."

Black:
Isn't that...

Shift:
He did go out of control when he reached Unstable corruption, but we stopped him. He now keeps his control of the curse now.

Solarflare:
That was a relief. Maybe I should ask him how he handled it.

After a few hours, the boys reached the end of the forest. However, they saw pieces of the ground broken like something crashed on the ground.

Garrett:
It looks like there was a fight here.

Black:
It's a possibility that your enemies were here.

Solarflare:
I hope it-

Before Solarflare could finish his sentence, a loud thunderbolt crackled in a spot nearby.

Garrett:
Woah! That doesn't look like a natural thunderbolt.

Black:
No. I think it's someone nearby. Let's go check it out.

They all went to check out the lightning strike. after getting there, they saw 5 Pokémon with matching colors and a mysterious pokemon wearing armor. Solarflare and Black recognized the pokemon wearing the amor immediately and called their name.

Solarflare:
Brother?

Garrett:
Its them! Our shadows!

Shift:
It looks like that mysterious Pokémon is giving them a good beating.

Only 4 out of the 5 shadows were unconscious. The only one left standing was Shadow Garrett.

Shadow Garrett:
Dammit, He's too strong.

???:
You're *panting* the only one left.

Shadow Garrett:
I wasn't expecting you to be this powerful!

Solarflare:
Speed!

The mysterious pokemon that was called Speed looked behind him and noticed his brother and Black approaching him along with a blue jolteon and a white, green leafeon.

Speed:
Flare? Black? What are you two doing here?

Shadow Garrett:
I've found you two. But you're lucky, we're retreating.

Shadow Garrett picked up his allies and pulled put a mirror shard. He raised it in theair. The mirror hit the sun's reflection and opened up a portal.

Shift:
Dammit! Get back here!

Shift speed boosted himself to catch Shadow Garrett, but he was too slow, Shadow Garrett and his allies fell through the portal and the portal closed itself.

Speed:
What the hell is going on?

Black:
It's a long explanation.

Speed:
Fine. Let me get back to the lab and I'll get back to the treehouse... by the way, who are you guys?

Garrett:
Garrett.

Shift:
Shift.

Speed:
I'm Speed.

Black:
Let's head back.

Solarflare:
That seems like a good idea.

The group left the wild and returned back to the treehouse. Speed returned to the lab to turn in for the day and head back to the treehouse. By the time they returned, They saw Null, Sunshine, Silvia, Leafy, and Silvia were playing tag while Indigo was still studying how the mirror works. Sean, Lazuli, and Pearl were almost done with making dinner.

10 minutes later

They were all eating their lunches. It seemed like a normal time until Speed asked a question.

Speed:
Now that we're all here... mind telling us what's going on?

Indigo:
You guys never told him?

Shift:
Sorry.

Sean:
To make a short story, the boys and I found a mirror, looked at it. then the mirror made copies of us which were the ones you were fighting earlier, attacked us, and then the mirror took us to this world.

Speed:
Great Short Story.

Everyone giggled at Speed. After few second after that,  Solarflare came up with a question and that was for Indigo, who was drinking a glass of water.

Solarflare:
By the way... Indigo, are you cursed?

Indigo spat his drink at Null when he heard that question. Null wasn't amused when he got splashed with water.

Indigo:
Alright who told him?

Shift:
That would be me and Garrett.

Indigo got irritated with Garrett and Shift but pushed that aside.

Indigo:
Anyways Yeah I am.

Crystal:
Are you okay?

Indigo:
Yeah... It did give me sharp pains a lot of times but now I've gotten it in control. Although, it could happen again, I'm not sure.

Leafy:
Didn't you try seeing a doctor for help?

Indigo:
Well. I did that before with a Friend who worked as a scientist. She couldn't find the problem. So, I thought that if she couldn't do it then any other doctors or scientists couldn't either.

Speed:
I have a friend who's willing to help you out. He's been studying the berserker virus.

Indigo:
I don't think it's necessary. And what is the berserker virus?

Speed:
It's a virus that makes anyone go berserker.

Null:
Huh. I guess we'll stay on guard.

Shift:
Yeah.

Solarflare:
If you're cursed, then does that mean you have someone living your "mind"?

Indigo:
Someone lives inside the amulet.

Indigo looked at his amulet and called out his name.

Indigo:
Hey, can you come out?

A black shadow figure exited the amulet. The shadow pokemon was an Umbreon that was completely black. That pokemon was Bleakness.

Bleakness

Age: ???

Species: Umbreon

Gender: Male

Nature: Lonely

Moves: Crunch, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball, Hyper Beam.

Skill Moves: ???????, Shadow Scan, Amulet.

Info: Bleakness was an ordinary Umbreon before a serious of events occurred 100 years ago. An important day occurred which changed his life forever. He sacrificed himself to save a kingdom from destruction. This sacrifice resulted in him becoming a part of the curse.  When Indigo first met Bleakness through his dream, he gave him the name Bleakness.

Bleakness:
Hello, I'm Bleakness.

Speed:
Huh. He looks a lot like you.

Bleakness:
I took on this form because Indigo is the host.

SolarFlare:
Oh...

Leafy:
Looks like you've found a friend who is similar to you huh Flare.

Solarflare:
Yeah.

Everyone had laughed a little and finished their lunch. They all looked at the mirror and examined it.

Garrett:
Is the mirror...

Indigo:
Yeah. I still can't figure it out.

Black:
Did it activate by itself?

Indigo:
It did before. I don't know how it works...

Pearl:
It is strange... maybe try touching it.

Null tried touching it to no avail. The mirror didn't respond or react.

Shift:
Nothing happened.

Garrett:
I wonder if...

Garrett picked up the mirror and raised it at the ray of light that shined through the window. Nothing happened.

Garrett:
Great... It doesn't work...

Garrett tried shaking it but surprisingly, the mirror reacted and opened up a portal.

Shift:
Woah!

Sean:
Ha! It's our ticket back home!

Silvia:
Aw... it's time for you to go already?

Sean:
Yeah...

Indigo:
its great meeting you all though!

Shift:
Although it was short....

Speed:
Well... I rarely got to know you....

Indigo:
Indigo, Shift, Garrett, Sean, and Null.

Speed: 
Indigo, Sean, and Null. But hey, you guys are cool!

Garrett:
If you guys end up in our world "Karia", just come look for us in a tree house in the middle of a plain field.

Solarflare:
We will.

Bleakness:
I take it we're ready to leave.

Shift:
Lets go boys!

Indigo, Bleakness, Sean, Null, Shift, and Garrett jumped through the portal before the mirror followed them in and closed it.

Lazuli:
I wonder if we'll see them again.

Speed:
Possibly.

Pearl:
We should go back to our daily activities as well.

The ES group returned back to their respective businesses.

Inside the portal, the boys were flying through a tunnel that would take them back home as thay were hoping.

Sean:
Finally, we can go home!

Indigo:
I bet Melly and the others would be jealous that we got to explore.

Bleakness:
Let's hope we get back home.

To be continued.
