What was the difference between a shadow Pokemon and a normal Pokemon? Was the shadow Pokemon more powerful?
There were some differences between them. Shadow Pokemon had some disadvantages. They were:
1. The Pokemon would take longer to evolve and rank up.
2. They would be in constant pain.
3. They would always be angry and out of control. They were like a mad berserker.
So, what about the advantages? They were basically none. The only advantage that a shadow Pokemon had was higher attack power. Since there were like berserker 24/7, they had higher attack power. But the difference was not so huge.
When Abra turned into shadow Pokemon, it started to change. Its yellow color turned black. It hated every thing about the shadow Pokemon. It would cry in pain. The pain was huge. It felt that the pain would kill it any second. It also hated the color black. It felt that it had been an outcast. That was why Axel name it 'Light'.
"Since you don't want to be the shadow, I will name you light. I will help you and take care of this disease." Axel had said these words. It had not been forgotten.
Slowly, when It evolved, the pain started to lessen, bit by bit. When it evolved to Alakazam, it could now finally withstand the pain. When it ranked up to elemental rank, the pain was negligible. But the pain was still there. It could use its psychic powers to remove the pain now but that would take a toll on its stamina. Slowly, it had started to control its pain and after a years of hard training, they had met again.
Alakazam was a physic-type Pokemon so it could talk to Axel in its mind.
"You have not forgotten our promise, have you? I can now finally beat you with my new friends. After that you have to join me", said Axel with a confident voice. He didn't know how much Alakazam had improved in this past year. But he was confident that with the help of Shedinja, he could win as it was immune to Physic type attacks.
'No need.'
"But.."
'I can already feel that you can now defeat me. You have grown strong Axel. You are already my trainer. It is foolish to battle. I am ready to join you.'
Axel gave a big sigh. His first Pokemon was way wiser and more intelligent for his own good. He wanted to have a victorious battle but Alakazam refused.
"Ok, are you ready?", asked Axel as he took a master ball in his hand. Alakazam nodded his head.
Axel threw the ball and without any resistance, Alakazam was caught.

"Wohh, I didn't expect such a sweet reward." For many years Axel had thought to cure Alakazam of this disease. Finally, he had a head start.
Axel then threw the ball and Alakazam came out.
"Light, meet my new friends. Guys meet Light. He is my first partner and my first friend. Don't think that he is weak. Right now he may be the most powerful among you."
Axel started to introduce Light to his Pokemons. It went well. All of them accepted Light as their new friend.
Axel looked at Alakazam's stats:

Alakazam had trained a lot of moves. Axel was disappointed that the moves were not of a higher level. He had trained Alakazam for 7 years. But the advancement of moves was not up to the mark. It should also be noted that he had trained Alakazam when he had no money, no recipe, ,no natural resources and no active system.
Axel was happy that Alakazam had purple potential. When he caught it, he didn't have the system powers. So, catching a wild Pokemon with purple potential was a lucky encounter. The mastery of the ability and hidden ability was extremely good compared to his other Pokemons.
As of now, Axel wanted Alakazam to learn 'Psychic terrain' and 'Future sight'. He also wanted to know about its 'Hidden power' typing.

Rewards: unknown]

'Hmm. That could work. I mean the system gave me the hints of the solution.' , thought Axel.
Axel then called a person that he could trust with the job.
Tring.. Tring… Tring.. Tring…
"Hey, Axel. I was not expecting your call.", said Mark.
"Oh really? Anyways, I have got a job for us. You know, the researcher one."
"And what might that be? The last time you said it, we discovered 2 varieties of Eeveelutions. Is it another Eeveelution?"
"Think bigger my friend. Think bigger."
"Oh come on. Tell me already."
"Alright, it is about the solution of shadow Pokemons."
"Axel, have you gone crazy? It has been a century. For a whole century, researchers have been looking into solution with no result. How can we do that?"
"Then for eternity, no one has been searching about another Eeveelution, but we did it. I think we already got a head start in this."
"Alright, what do you want me to do?"
"I have got hints and some work done on it. I will send you the email. I want you to come to my home by tomorrow. We will start our work by tomorrow."
"Ok, but Axel, even if we do find a solution, how are we going to test it? We don't have a shadow Pokemon."
"Who says we don't? I do. That is why I need you to come here by tomorrow."
"Really? Why didn't you ever tell me? Ohh, I forgot how secretive you are. I will be there by tomorrow, don't worry. See yeah", said Mark and hung up the phone.
"We will have a solution for your problem soon, my friend", said Axel to Alakazam
It just nodded its head in confirmation.
With that thing done, he decided to plan on his Pokemon training. But not today. Today he will rest talking with his family.
