10 years after the 2nd Cipher incident, everyone has thought Cipher has finally dissapeared. The trainers in Orre are now readdy for anything. Or are they...

However, Ryan, talented trainer, lost his Manaphy 5 years ago, and it's the only one in existance. He thinks Cipher still exists. He thought that ever since he was 5 years old. Everyone didn't belive him. Ryan was in a deep depression when he spotted something in the sky: a Cipher helicopter. He leaped from his bed and cling on the helicopter and got zoomed away to the Cipher base.

At the base, Ryan saw that Cipher was creating the ultimate shadow pokemon, one that can never be purified even with the strongest technology. This evil is known as Shadow Manaphy: XD002.

This set contains 93 cards, including new stadiums, new energy, and even a new type! There are even triple type pokemon! When I add enough cards, I'll add in a part of the story. So get readdy, here it is!

The Hps are way too high, and it basically doesn't make sense. It's hard to create "Shadow" Energy symbols. Otherwise, your ideas are good, but scrapping the "Shadow" part is better.
 
I think it's a good idea. Nice and original makes the game great. I'm not too sure whether triple types would work out, maybe you could just stick to 1 or 2 types per pokemon. Like mathace said, the HPs are way too high. The maximum HP for all cards is 120, except Ex's which go over, and usually only stage 2's or really defensive-high HP pokemon get large HPs which arent stage 2's. Like Wailord, Blissey, Steelix, Snorlax, etc.

It would be nice to see how the set progresses from here. The cards are reasonably well balanced, nothing too broken. Great work :)
 
Thanks for the tips! The next cardswill be less powerful than the last 4, so I assure you that they WON'T be broken. (Except if you're good at flipping heads...) Here are 4 new cards!

What do you think? Since I added a certain number of cards, I'll add a new part to the story! It will take about 2 hours.
 
Wow! I finished the next part of the story. Also, a new card!

Ryan gasped at what he saw. Why did Cipher steal his Manaphy? Why is Cipher transforming it into a shadow pokemon? A bunch of crazy thoughts surged through his mind. He was so confused that he screamed.

"What the heck just happened?" a person said.
"Well, master Deevil, it sounded like somebody screamed." another person said.
"Well, Mark, then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!" Deevil yelled.

Ryan heard everything that Deevil and Mark said. What was this plan? What was Mark going to do about his scream? All sorts of thoughts surged through his mind once again, but instead, he ran.

"There he is! The intruder! GET HIM!!!" the admin said. After that, about 40 Cipher peons chased Ryan.

"I can't run away from them...I got it!" Ryan said.
"Go Surgey!" Ryan said as he threw the pokeball.
"JOL, jolt!" Surgey said when coming out of it's pokeball. But this wasn't an ordinary jolteon: it was green.
"Surgey! Use thunderbolt!" Ryan said as he turned to the peons.
"Joooooolllllllllllllll.....JOLT!" Surgey said as it unleashed a powerful electric blast at the peons. The peons fainted.
"Great job, Surgey! Return." Ryan said.

At this moment, he didn't know what to do. Suddenly he heard a voice behind him.
"HEY!! You're not supposed to be here!" the admin said.
"Who are you, anyway?" Ryan asked.
"I am Monumes, the weakest admin in the Cipher army!" Monumes said.
"And...you had to tell me that, why?" Ryan said confused.
"Ah, for cryin' out loud, never mind that. If I catch you, I'll be promoted! Now, any last words?" Monumes said in a death-like tone.

Ryan thought for a moment. And another. And another, when he thought of...
"Yup. Try to catch me!" Ryan said while dashing at high speeds.
"Hey, come back!" Monumes said while chasing Ryan. After a while, Ryan saw an arena. A battle arena, in fact. He dashed towards the audeince-less arena. Monumes followed him.

"Since we're here? How about a battle?" Monumes asked.
"Sure!" Ryan said in exitement.
"3 on 3?" Monumes said.
"Fine with me."
