Before I start, all characters belong to Pokemon, specifically the anime.
This was an idea I had while scrolling through Bulbapedia one day. I wondered that, since we always hear about the humans, what if we get the Pokemon's perspective? The entries for each diary will be for each episode and in Pokedex order.
Diary Entry 1: Pokemon, I Choose You!
#1: Bulbasaur- Dream.
I could have been Ash's first Pokemon, but I went to someone else. Oh well, I'm sure someone representing my species finds him eventually.
#4: Charmander- Dream.
Man, being Ash's first Pokemon would've been so cool! I hope the guy I'm with isn't a jerk or anything...
#7: Squirtle- Dream.
I wanted to be the first guy on Ash's team, but he had to sleep too late. I'm glad the professor's grandson chose me over him.
#16: Pidgey- Wild.
A peculiar human tried to catch me today. It was a strange sight for sure. He was wearing gloves the same color as a burned Jigglypuff and he was lugging a Pikachu around like a stuffed backpack. The Pikachu climbed up a tree and he yelled at it. While I was busy eating and trying to mind my own business, the idiot threw a Pokeball at my head! After I got out, he tried to smother me with his shirt. At that point, I kicked sand in his face and went on my way.
#19: Rattata- Wild.
Ah, a stupid traveler's food, so easy to steal! ...That is, until he chased me off. Darn, now I have to wait for the next idiot to come along.
#21: Spearow- Wild.
I have waged war on all humans and Pikachu alike. I was hit in the head by a rock so naturally, the human who did it would have to die. I went for his little Pikachu on the tree first and the ratty jerk shocked me! I called my friends to try to help me against these two monsters and we chased them for what seemed like miles. We nipped the Pikachu within an inch of its life. The human found an odd mode of transportation but it didn't matter, they were both as good as dead. We pushed them out, he was standing like a martyr, and we were so close to tearing them to bones, when all of us got zapped. I made it out of there with my life, and I swear that when I become a Fearow and become faster and stronger than ever, I will find them and end them both.
#25: Pikachu- Ash's.
Today was my first day as a... tame, and it has really not gone well for me. I get out of this wretched prison called a Pokeball, and what do I see? A barely awake human child with a Grass type's skin lurching towards me. I did the natural thing and Thunder Shocked him to set my boundaries. Then I saw the madman that captured me in the first place give the child a pamphlet and some prisons, so I shocked both of them.
I would have made a bolt back to the Viridian Forest, but I figured I wasn't in much of a rush if he was headed to the same place. I walked with him out of the laboratory for the first time in weeks to find a bunch of other humans standing out front. He tried to put me back in jail but I swatted the ball back to him with my tail. We made a fun game of it for a little while, him and I, when he picked me up. Again, I shocked him, along with everyone else.
That little escapade must have enraged the child, because he put on gloves that I couldn't zap, then tied me up and dragged me around like my mother did when I was young. He stopped after about half an hour of dragging and tried to talk to me. I played dumb by being very aloof about things. He eventually stopped and untied me, but I still wouldn't give him any leeway, mostly because he treated me like a slave.
He pointed me towards a Pidgey. I wasn't going to waste my time with it so I climbed a tree and tried to see how this human could catch this weakling by himself. As I predicted, he did a deplorable job, trying to imprison it at full health and then trying to catch it with his Grass-type skin that he shed. I laughed at his stupidity and he yelled at me, but I didn't care.
I watched from my perch as a Rattata tried to steal his food. Unfortunately, the human chased it away, but I laughed when the pamphlet called him a stupid traveler. No truer words had ever been said. He was still trying to imprison innocent Pokemon by throwing rocks. Unfortunately, he managed to hit a Spearow. It got enraged and tried to go after me even though I didn't do anything. My defense mechanism kicked in and I zapped him after jumping out of the tree.
I didn't count on it calling for its friends. For the first time, the human's and my instincts intertwined, chiefly running for our lives. I ran as quickly as I could but the Spearow flock pecked my feet until I couldn't run anymore. The human picked me up but I didn't care at that point. He jumped off a cliff into a pond and we resurfaced. He placed me in a vehicle of some sort and kept encouraging me that I would make it. This was when I thought maybe this human wasn't so bad.
As the sky darkened, the Spearow pushed the vehicle over, giving me a few more bruises as I tumbled out. By this point, my vision was getting blurry. The human checked on me and seemed to want to put me back in the Pokeball. Instead, he put it down and stood defiantly against the horde. Knowing that a stranger I was an absolute jerk to would try to sacrifice himself for me gave me the strength to get back up and try to attack the Spearow. All I remember was a flash of light and suddenly the sun came out again, with the flock completely gone.
We stared at each other then up into the sky to see an absolutely majestic bird flying in the horizon. I wasn't sure if it was a hallucination or not, but he seemed to be seeing the same thing. Then the human picked me up and ran to the nearby city. As I fell into unconsciousness, I thought this "Ash" would be a good person to be tame for.
#27: Sandshrew- Wild.
Ho-hum, another Spearow chase, nothing to worry about.
#33: Nidorino- Trainer's.
Ah, the thrill of battle. It really satisfies my bloodlust. I rushed at a Gengar but it put me to sleep. Bah, I will wake up in a little while.
#56: Mankey- Wild.
Aw, man! The Spearow always chase the newbies!
#85: Dodrio- Wild.
It's good to crow at the sun's first light. After all, Early Bird catches the Caterpie.
#94: Gengar- Trainer's.
That Nidorino was an easy defeat. I would have eaten his soul if I was still wild. However, I still have an Onix to deal with. Oh well, a spirit's work is never done.
#95: Onix- Trainer's.
Avenging Nidorino's defeat. Won't end well for Gengar. I hope.
#129: Magikarp- Wild.
I think a human fell in, but I don't want to rescue him. It's hard enough to exist here as it is.
#130: Gyarados- Wild.
I wanted to eat a human that almost drowned himself, but I found some interesting Magikarp nearby that would be a hardier meal.
#250: Ho-Oh- Wild.
I Wish You The Best Of Luck, Human And Pikachu. You Have Hearts Of Gold That Will Only Grow From Here.
As you can tell, some entries are longer than others. Next time, Pokemon Emergency.
