The Path of Destiny AMV: Cyclone - How to Save a Life

Okay, it's finally done! This is my first animation video. I'm still kinda beginner-ish, and I pretty much fail at drawing vaporeon, scyther, and houndour, (and lip sync in general) but I did my best. XD I hope to improve with future videos I make. The parts in this amv were not done in order, so some of the animation is older or newer than other parts.
Be aware that parts of this video aren't going to make any sense without reading the story.
This is a video about the story's main antagonist, Cyclone the vaporeon, showing parts of his past up to some of the recent events in the story. I know the part where Silverbreeze is talking to Cyclone should have more pokemon in the background, but I had no idea where to put them. And Stormblade should probably look more injured than he does in this video, but I didn't want to draw him that way. D=
(Oh, and in case you don't know, it says "Scytherwolf/Racingwolf" because Racingwolf is my Deviantart username.)
If you are curious, you can read the story in one of these places:
racingwolf.deviantart.com/art/...
www.fanfiction.net/s/4057710/1...
This animation was made in Flash CS4, and the backgrounds and glow effects were made in Photoshop CS5.
The voice of Silverbreeze (female scyther) was done by GracefulFlareon on youtube.
The voice of Cyclone was done by Neo Pikachu on the PokemonElite2000 forums.
The song (as it says in the video) is How to Save a Life by the Fray
If any of you want to suggest ideas for future Path of Destiny AMVs, go ahead. I haven't decided on what I'm going to make next yet, but any ideas of what characters, themes, and songs I could use would be helpful as I want to have a bunch of ideas before I decide on one. xD

[@ginbake291]

Holy shit its been 10 years already. Honestly its so crazy looking back to this video, i remember watching this when i was 9 i think and this video was a huge motive to start drawing. This video was literally my favorite youtube video when there were nothig but the og channels and amv videos. Good times.

[@Bl4ckC4tsH3ll]

I don’t think I watched this 10 years ago but it was a long time ago, man this still looks amazing as I remembered it a long time ago when I was younger.

[@haileyb9642]

I REMEMBER THIS AND I REMEMBER READING THE STORY AND I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT THE OTHER DAY. it's been a long time

[@loisannebarin6995]

Same

[@lucy5069]

And why vaporeon faith this..?

[@Rttn_mushrm]

me and my friends discovered this 2 years ago but it got lost in our memories we tried to find it again but we couldn't then once time I remembered a video were I can find it. I looked for this all the time and now......I finally can watch it again and again and I can love it....thanks for making it

[@Scytherwolf]

[@reaishlyWEIRD]

[@Scytherwolf]

[@FoxSketch6543]

[@teacuppies6170]

Scytherwolf i cry everytime its so sad

[@solangegriffin5894]

+Scytherwolf so how are you today ⭐️? Have you make your animation Pokemon episodes yet 😉?

[@kittykat6665]

I used to watch this with my sibling when we were kids. It must have just been posted back then. Such nostalgia though

[@Bl4ckC4tsH3ll]

Me too, unlocked some memories.. 💜

[@Bl4ckC4tsH3ll]

Oh my God the memories this unlocked, my childhood was something else I tell ya, I still feel bad for the main character design in this but it’s still not an excuse to become the way they did..

[@CasseroleBlast]

Omg this was buried deep in my brain and I couldn’t find it finally here it is. 2011 was wild bruh.

[@123menak]

i haven't watched this in forever! it's still amazing. xx

[@cosmicfeather1999]

2019 .. I was looking for this 4EVER!!!!! I read some of the story but forgot it and this animation. But now I found it again and it’s still awesome as I remember it :D

[@Scytherwolf]

Thank you! I'm hoping to do some animatics about the story soon and eventually more full animations.

[@Bl4ckC4tsH3ll]

It’s 2020 and I finally watch get to watch this again, man this is still amazing..

[@sophiefaulkner6557]

This was one of many videos that got me into anime (pokemon), I'm getting nostalgia and feels at the same time...who else is crying ;-;

[@Kimihh]

I watched it when i was younger (something like 7,or 8 years old,now im almost 12),man,its so nostalgic 😔✊

[@Bl4ckC4tsH3ll]

I don’t know how old I was but I’m 15 so I guess I was older? But yeah this unlocked some memories for me, it still looks amazing..

[@antwedding9446]

Oh my god. When I was really young I found this video and I would watch it over and over again, without even knowing the context of it. It feels so good being able to find this thing again. Thank you for making it!

[@darkumbreon9000]

Found this 4 years ago and I still love it.

[@ivypool_plays_mc3607]

this animation is my inspiration for doing more writing and drawings/animation as well, by the way great work!

[@meerkat00rocks]

This is like how scourge turned out to be. It's beautiful.

[@kristaberta7922]

I cannot believe this is over ten years old now. Ever time I hear this song, I think of this video

[@Patchwork_Kit]

I still love this.. Thanks for making this animation

[@arionarts9756]

I know youuu :D

[@lunarainbowpushpop5913]

this is so far my most favorite thing to read on my free time

[@wolfplayzmcpkmon12]

10 years.. jesus christ i remember this like it was last week

[@asyllumm]

I first found out about Path of Destiny through this video though I didn't know exactly who Cyclone was. Now that I have just read ch 36, everything has come back around to where they began. Great story and great video!

[@britishhammer5696]

this is one of the most beautiful animations I've ever seen, it's absolutely gorgeous and smooth =-) you inspire me

[@Scytherwolf]

+Cloudcrafter28 Thanks!

[@Scytherwolf]

Deion Pehowdy Thank you!

[@solangegriffin5894]

+Scytherwolf you are so amazing animator in the whole world ✨. You should make a animation episodes of your own ⭐️. I love the song so much 🎶💖.

[@Bl4ckC4tsH3ll]

@@Scytherwolf Yeah this was my childhood, it’s even inspired me to be creative a little now, thanks for hard work you put into this years ago it still looks amazing today, dated but still looks good.

[@Scytherwolf]

@@Bl4ckC4tsH3ll Thank you!

[@Pyrix_AJ]

I dont get this but who cares THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[@lunarainbowpushpop5913]

youd understand if you have read the Fanfic. the eevee's parents where killed by a fire type pokemon, the eevee was adopted in by a trainer and later on the trainer gave the eevee a choice to evolve. He wanted to be a water type. the stone he touches was one of the hidden power stones. now hes after the white growlithe for the Houndour for the forbidden attack. To take revenge on all humans. im guessing the trainer was very abusive to Him.

[@Pyrix_AJ]

oh thank you :)

[@lunarainbowpushpop5913]

you should read it some time. its amazing xD

[@Pyrix_AJ]

ok i didn't know i had to read something in order to get this lol

[@patrickcreedon9542]

Well would you like see This Scytherwolf make a episode of pokemon : The path of destiny too? Well I would love to see it! It must be so cool to see it! Right?

[@nikkisliter5157]

Friendly reminder that ScytherWolf predicted regional forms! They were introduced 2016. The fic began 2008. Eight years ahead of the schedule.

[@playfulsugar7684]

This is probably the weirdest form of nostalgia I have ever witnessed, I watch this video Wayback when it was new and after all these years finally found it again, The first 10 minutes of animation made my jaw drop with pure joy despite knowing the gorefest that’s about to happen

[@adamariarellano3354]

I can't believe I found this again :)

[@lilhellion100]

why did that green stone hurt him ? 1:55

[@kittycateevee6988]

Sonic legacy probably cause grass is stronger against water

[@arionarts9756]

Because it contained a forbidden attack. If you read the story, they hurt when you receive one.

[@Karma-wb7et]

He's a water type that's why, it was a grass stone water types are weak to grass types.

[@laraendlight9887]

In the story they explain that if you find the stones that contain a Forbidden Attack and you recive it, it hurts you

[@quinng.6214]

This animation made me cry when i was 7

[@Bl4ckC4tsH3ll]

I just loved watching it when I was younger, but yeah the story is tragic, man this unlocked memories watching it again..

[@mirandakeats3948]

wow. This is actually the best video I've seen so far. Its so awesome^^

[@GingaDreamer]

One of my favorite parts of this entire animations is where your Vaporeon turns. The flow you have to the tail, the way it flicks just so is better than the Vaporeon in the animes animation! Instead of being so rough, the tail simply flows. I can't wait for more animations from you...I'll be waiting to see more of this lovely story line.

[@GoldenLigerZero]

Found this when I was a kid and loved it! A proper dark take on Pokemon, made me redo my own Story to mix in some dark elements.

[@Bl4ckC4tsH3ll]

Me too, now I’m here watching something from years ago again, such a great time..

[@dingo359]

this is amazing! i absolutely LOVE the animation! ill definitely read the story when i have some free time!

[@impxjunkie]

Happy birthday to the first animation that inspired me to look more into pokémon, start writing stories, and so much more, i used to watch this everyday and i looked back at it today to find out its now 8 years old by today so.. happy birthday to this lovely animation😊 will forever be a little inspiration and big level of nostalgia!

[@Scytherwolf]

Thank you!

[@TheRealRoyalArtworks]

AWESOME!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! ^^

[@Halkpelt]
