Episode One: A New Day, A New Wussy Trainer

I should have known all along that the day would come when the idiot that "adopted" me when I was abandoned at the Pokemon Center would give me to a real trainer. I mean, all he ever did was sit in his stupid lab, reading stupid books, looking on his stupid computer, and all the rest. I had seen other Pokemon scattered around this dump, but for some reason I was the only one kept in a Pokeball twenty-four seven. Maybe it had something to do with me giving the idiot a nice hit on the head for keeping me from my bananas. After all, a Mankey's gotta do what a Mankey's gotta do!

I mean, why should I get only one banana when I can have a whole bunch! That's what was going through my mind as I felt that familiar tug on my spine. I was pulled out of my Pokeball and felt my feet touching the cold, hard floor. Idiot was standing close by in front of me next to a small human, probably a child or something. But that wouldn't stop me from poking fun at both humans.

"Oh, hello Idiot! Who's that, your mate?" Of course, all they heard was an annoying repetition of my name, but it didn't matter to me. Hell, I could insult them all I wanted and it wouldn't make a difference!

"Are you sure you want this one? He can be a bit…erm…nasty."

"Nasty?" Of course, the boy was completely clueless, proving he was a youngster that had never traveled. He had probably never seen a Pokemon like me before. You see, I'm no native to the Jhoto region. I was caught near a city called "Viridian" over in Kanto. The forest just west of the town was my birthplace. I belong there, back in the forest, not with this kid.

"It was nice meeting you and all, but no way am I having this little kid as my trainer! Not in a million years!" I took off down the hall as soon as I yelled this, leaving the two humans where they stood.

I had no idea where the exit was, but since when did that stop an angry Mankey? I kept running and running down what seemed like an endless river of hallways until something caught my eyes in one of the adjacent rooms.

"Bananas! Oh, glorious bananas!" And there was a whole bowl of them too! I leapt onto the table that held the deliciously golden fruit and picked one up. I immediately tried to peel it with my teeth like I always do, but it turned out to be quite a challenge.

My teeth were stuck in the abnormally tasteless fruit. They tricked me! I turned around and saw Idiot and the boy laughing at me. So they knew all along that I would go for the bananas! Those bastards!

"Oh, Mankey, silly, that's wax fruit!" The boy nearly doubled over laughing and that's when I got serious. I mean, I knew he was a kid, but this was going too far. You just can't insult a Mankey's pride like that!

"Oh, so you think it's funny, Furless Boy?!" I tried to use a stern voice, but the kid just kept on laughing. So to knock him out of his incredibly annoying state, I jumped up and gave him a good smack on the head. Hard.

Furless fell to the ground, holding his head. There was already a bump where I had hit him. Ha! Teach him to mess with me, the awesome, incredible, and great Bonzai!

Needless to say, I was feeling quite triumphant. That is, until I felt the boy's leg connect with my nose. "Don't you ever hit your trainer!" The idiot, Bookworm, was just standing there until then, now he was restraining the boy as I too took my fall.

"Don't ever, and I mean never, kick your Pokemon! If you do, it'll learn to dislike you and…" He was interrupted when I leapt onto the boy, slugging him in the face multiple times. How dare he kick me like that! All I wanted to do was knock some sense into him!

Seriously, who did this kid think he was?! My trainer?! Then it dawned on me that this kid was se up to be my trainer. Why else would I be released, considering the damage I had done to Bookworm's head. This revelation caused a long strain of "Oh fuck"s to go through my mind.

The fight continued for probably a good half a minute before Idiot managed to get me back into my Pokeball. I rested in my Pokeball, feeling quite confident, though I had no idea what was yet to come.

((A/N: Yeah, I know there was a lot of random violence in this chapter, but it will get more organized later. Bear with me and R+R!))
