A Pokémon True Story: The soul collector

by ThAtGuY101

ThAtGuY101 This is going to be an entire series called 'A Pokémon True Story'. What's it about? Well first of all I wanna start off by asking, have you seen any dark or terrifying pokédex entries before? Pokémon has all sorts of sick twisted lore behind some of its pokémon. This Series will focus on those darker elements behind pokémon. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Perhaps in the future I will drop a request in the creative discussion asking for people to come up with characters I can add into my stories. If there is a pokémon you would like to see in the stories let me know!
The afternoon was slowly coming to a close ,and nightfall was just around the corner. The sun was slowly fading away ,but the moon was nowhere to be seen. A thick layer of clouds flooded the skies ,and loomed over the seemingly peaceful city. It was becoming windier ,and colder. The hissing of the wind could be heard ,and almost everyone was inside for the night. Sleeping in their beds, blankets tucked in ,and doors locked shut. These things gave the people the feeling of safety and security that they might wake up the next morning alive and well.

One of the alleyways behind a large apartment complex seemed especially dark this fateful night. It felt more ominous than usual as well. a thick aura of despair and sorrow filled the air like thick fat on a snorlax.

clanking of a bottle could be heard down the streets of Laverre Kalos. The sounds of an intoxicated middle aged man could be heard poorly singing as he walked down the dark dreary street. In the dark alleyway a dark figure was examining the man in all his drunkenness. The creature seemed to take delight in the sight of this wretched man as he walked along the street. So much so that he just had to get this man's attention. The man saw this yellow dot ,and wondered what it was. As he slowly approached the yellow light, he was transfixed on coming closer to it. As the man approached it, his legs feel light. Almost as if he were no longer standing on the ground. His arms were tightening as if something was holding him tight. He was looking at the yellow light ,and it felt as if the light was looking right back at him ,and then darkness. Then nothingness.

A dusknoir by the name of reio was now looking down at a soulless with his bright yellow eye. It was very much a lifeless corpse of a middle aged man lying on the ground in the alleyway, "That makes fiiive!" Reio said with a hearty laugh excitedly. Reio didn't care about the body. Eventually the smell would attract hungry pokémon. By morning time there would be no proof of what had happened that night ,and Reio would go on to continue his merry way.

As Reio began to head home he saw a lampent floating outside a third story window of a hospital. It was looking into the room of an older woman lying in bed on life support. The woman was very old ,and her health was in a deteriorating state. Atleast her sleep was somewhat peaceful. The lampent and Reio both cheerfully waved to one another acknowledging each others presence in a polite and friendly manner. "Time to head home... Home sweet home..." Reio said cheerfully.

Fun fact: Reiō/霊王, means soul king. Hence why I decided to name my protagonist that.

Species: Dusknoir (Shiny)
Name: Reio
Age: 22
Gender: male
Defining features(Example; scar or birthmark): Reio has vertical scars across the tops of his hands which make a arrow when placed next to one another.
Personality: Reio is a somewhat friendly pokémon when you get to know him. He enjoys to make friends and socialize just like anyone else. He makes jokes ,and cares about his friends deeply. He's also polite and well mannered to those he considers friends. However in his spare time he enjoys stealing the souls of people. This is a hobby of his. Most pokémon don't know why he takes souls ,and Reio never bothers to explain why.
Three defining Skills: close combat, stealth ,and decorating

Defining skill flaw(s): slow
Dark pokédex entry: With the mouth on its belly, Dusknoir swallows its target whole. The soul is the only thing eaten— Dusknoir disgorges the body before departing.
Backstory: Reio grey up in kalos ,and had lived there ever since it was a dusclops. Reio still remembers coming to Kalos from Hoenn. Reio had only been a dusclops for two years prior to leaving to see Kalos. Reio had spent his childhood in Hoenn causing mischief ,and problems for those around him. Reio still has friends in Hoenn ,and still likes to send messages to them via pelliper. Pelliper were so friendly and willing to send messages for their fellow pokémon. A characteristic he respected about the pelliper. Reio would go on to living in a dark haunted house on route 15 during his time in Kalos.
