"NO!" The man from Cipher shouted out in desperation as the Alakazam and Metagross finally went down after taking the numerous attacks from the gathered Pokemon. He turned to look at the men who were supposed to be taking down Gonzap only to see the former head of Team Snagem knocking two of the goon's heads together with the rest of them on the floor in a heap but Gonzap looked as if he had taken quite a beating and could just barely stand. He turned to look at Zakar and his eyes widened in fear for a moment as he saw what was on the young man's shoulder.

"No...Where did you get that?!" He shouted out in fear as Zakar grabbed one of his two empty Pokeballs and inserted it into the machine. The ball seemed to glow for a moment as the machine made an odd noise and a dark ring seemed to surround the ball as it was launched through the air towards the Metagross

The Cipher peon reached for a Pokeball and tried to recall the Metagross only to have the altered Pokeball reach the giant blue Pokemon first. The Metagross was enveloped in a red burst of light and the ball closed, seemed to shake a few times and stopped moving.

 [i]Did I just capture a Shadow Pokemon?[/i] Zakar thought in amazement as the one remaining Cipher Peon began to run towards his Hover-cycle leaving the Alakazam out cold on the ground.
