The Team Rocket expansion. Dark Weezing and Dark Dugtrio were two of my favourites back then. The set also came with a lot of cool Team Rocket trainers too like The Boss's Way and Rocket's Sneak Attack. I remember afterwards, they released the Giovanni theme deck which I casually played with for quite a while too. It was pretty cool because the deck focussed on getting evolution pokemon out really quickly with The Boss's Way and Giovanni trainers.

I have walked this path of Darkness for a long time now. I suppose I can tell you my story of how I embraced the power of Darkness.
You know, when I was younger I used to get bullied a lot. Long story short, I moved country and did my secondary education in the UK. So I was already different from the get go but even while I was in Australia I was always a bit of an odd child. I always preferred the villains over the heroes in games and movies. When I was a kid it was Dr Neo Cortex from Crash Bandicoot that captured my attention but I've moved through a whole tone of bad guys throughout the years. Back to the UK though, I initially had no friends and ended up spending my lunch times in one of the history rooms, reading through a series of books known collectively as "His Dark Materials".
I eventually found some friends but the bullying didn't stop. I was too passive for my liking so I never really fought back except in one or two extreme circumstances. In the end, I accepted everything. I understood that I was weak and needed power to overcome my enemies and the biggest one of all, was myself. The solution was surprisingly simple. It pinned on embracing the despair that was dominant in the deepest, darkest, depths of my heart.
"A man is most deadly, when he has nothing left to lose"
This transformation was slow. The seeds of Darkness took numerous years to fully bloom. I eventually noticed the changes - both physical and mental. My outlook roughened up - The soft and innocent appearance I once had manifested into something far more intimidating and threatening. My demeanour warped into something truly nightmarish. I could feel the power pulsing through my veins and it felt (and still feels) bloody good. The bullying slowly stopped. They knew something about me had changed and the frequency of attacks continuously decreased until they bothered me no more.
I believe it was during my first year of university that I self proclaimed the title of Overlord. I was playing through a game called Disgaea and for those who don't know, it's about a kid Overlord who basically goes around owning everyone cause everyone is out to kill him and take his title away lol. I guess I was inspired that despite being some short kid, he had some real fire power to him. I'm not a very tall individual either so I think that helped me relate to him a bit more. So yeah, if any of you guys are out to claim my title, just try to kill me.
The power of Darkness comes with a price however. I was on the verge of completely losing my sanity. If it continued, I would have lost my mind and hell; I don’t even know what would have happened. Fortunately, there is one major aspect which prevents me from completely losing it. The power of logic stabilizes my mind and while I do think I am pretty insane, I haven’t completely lost all reason. As long as I continue to undertake the logical approach, I should be able to keep my mind fairly balanced.
I think that’s enough for one post. Despite my change, my true nature is a kind hearted person and while most of that has submerged under the depths of Darkness, some of it still remains.
