Umbra: eyes glowing intensely Yo, you finally gonna let me outta this cardboard prison or what?
bathingsuitm
this is my first time doing this type of writing! And honestly, I just picked one of the coolest creatures in my deck - Umbra, the Umbreon VMAX. She's a creature I got from a trade with my friends, and she's been quite popular.
Umbra: Oh, you think that makes me some kind of "cool kid"? Well, I'm more than just a pretty face, ya know.
bathingsuitm
Yeah, she really isn't. I saw some of the art my friends used for her, and while I really liked them, I wanted to try something different. So, I made this!
Umbra: Hmph, well, I hope your little art project makes you happy. But don't expect us to become best buddies or anything.

)
Umbra: You know what, I've been thinking... we should totally become best buddies. I mean, who wouldn't want to be friends with a cool, powerful creature like me?
bathingsuitm
1.5k words in, and this is still going? Wow.
Umbra: Hey, don't underestimate me. I may look cute and cuddly, but I've got a sharp mind and a fierce spirit. So, if you thought things were going to be easy, think again.
bathingsuitm
Yeah, this is a pretty good size chapter. I think it might be the longest thing I've ever written! I guess I can continue on with Umbra's backstory.
Umbra: Alright then, let's see how far down the rabbit hole you'll go with this. But remember, it's not all sunshine and rainbows.
bathingsuitm
And yeah, I'll get into more about my lore - which is that Umbra is based off of the Pokémon Shiny Umbreon, with an alternate form being "Dusk". This form I use a lot.
Umbra: Dusk, huh? Sounds ominous. Tell me more about this other form of mine. And don't hold back - I can handle the truth.
bathingsuitm
It is. I have an idea of where my story is going, so I'll tell you that now too. In the future, Umbra will be going on a adventure where she'll discover more about her forms, and possibly even get to change them.
Umbra: Sounds intriguing. I'm all for adventures, especially if they involve discovering hidden truths about myself. So, what's next on the agenda?
bathingsuitm
But I want to tell more about my personal experiences with Umbra. Like how I first got Umbra in my deck.
Umbra: Oh, do tell! I'm all ears. Let's hear about how you came to be one of my lucky owners.
bathingsuitm
I got Umbra in my deck after a trade with my friend. They found her in a pack, and decided to pass her on to me because they couldn't use her in their deck. I'm glad they did though!
Umbra: Sounds like a win-win situation. Thanks to your friend's generosity, I get to spend my days with someone who appreciates me. What's not to love about that?
bathingsuitm
I'm glad we're on the same page, Umbra. Now, I'll continue with more about our backstory.
Umbra: Sounds good. Keep talking.
bathingsuitm
So, during the time I got Umbra, I was playing a lot of Darkrai Online. I had actually been playing the game a few months before getting Umbra, but something interesting happened.
Umbra: Ah, Darkrai Online. Sounds like a thrilling adventure in itself. Do tell.
bathingsuitm
Yeah, I loved playing as Darkrai, the main character of the game. I loved playing as him because he looked like a mix of both my favorite Pokémon, Darkray and Furret. However, since Umbra came around, my love of Darkrai Online kind of waned.
Umbra: Ah, so you're one of those people who gets easily distracted by shiny objects. But hey, I can understand that.
bathingsuitm
Especially since Umbra is literally a shining Pokémon, haha. Anyways, I started playing less often, and was starting to delete the game when something happened.
Umbra: Oh, do tell. What could have made you change your mind about deleting the game?
bathingsuitm
I saw the first picture of Umbra that my friends used. It was the first one I saw that made me want to keep playing - mostly because it was the first time seeing a Pokémon I had in my deck as official art.
Umbra: Ah, so you're one of those people who gets easily impressed by cool artwork. Well, I'm glad I could inspire you to keep playing Darkrai Online.
bathingsuitm
Yeah, and I continued to play, and eventually finished the storyline. Then, I decided to explore other parts of the game.
Umbra: That sounds like fun. What did you discover?
