~x1x~ Well, I think That Sums It Up Pretty Well

People always thought of me as an outcast. I was born with a weird "virus" they called it, but I knew it was something more than that, that made me part Pokemon. And, because of this, I was and still am bullied for it. I was never, and still am not, that's popular in school. Ironically enough, though, some people thought I was cool for it, but no matter who they were, I never let anyone get close to me.

I always just shut them out, thinking to myself of whatever came to mind. Somehow, those who were close to me were always brutality taken away from me, both physically and mentally. In the past, I actually did have a friend. His name was Kyle and believe it or not, he was a Pokemon, he was my Pokemon. We always liked to hang out at the park after I got home from school or just roam through the city on the weekends. However, one day, in particular, stood out from every other Saturday.

~X~

"Come on, if we wait any longer the sun's gonna set without us." The enthusiastic Sylveon jumped up and down, waiting for me to respond.

"Yeah, yeah. I know that you want to see this, but aren't you worried about getting home. If we stay out too long, we won't be able to find the path back to the city." I said in a protest like manner while running after him.

"Don't worry, I'm confident in your abilities that you can lead us back to the main road."

I let out a groan in defeat, "Ugh… fine, but only under one condition."

Kyle jumped for joy and asked like there was nothing he'd rather do than ask, "What? What? What!?"

I partially blushed at what I was about to say, "You have… to hold my hand there and back."

Kyle simply blushed slightly and slowly scooted towards me, placing his paws into my hands, "O-Okay."

I was actually quite shocked that he actually agreed to it, but I wasn't going to complain. By the time we arrived at the coast just off the road, we had already gotten plenty of strange looks from the people around us. See, something you should know is that Pokemon and human relationships were legal, but due to an overwhelming religious hate for them, it was never really acknowledged as one. And, the only real reason why it was hated was because people thought it was bad for these two species to crossbreed. But, even in some cities, there were police forces that arrested for the act, just because the chief there didn't approve of it. But luckily, this city wasn't one of them, or at least, not completely.

"… Siel…Siel…Siel!"

I finally snapped out of my deep thought and looked at Kyle, "What?"

"Well, you looked like you were thinking about something important. Is everything okay?"

I slowly unhinged my grip from his as we neared the beach, "Yeah, I was just thinking about the city's pokephilia 'law' and what would be qualified under it."

Kyle simply looked at me in partial shock, "Oh my gosh, I completely forgot about that. Do you think what we just did would be okay with the law?"

"Yeah," I nodded, "I think so. And even if it wasn't, the worst that could happen is me not seeing you for a few days. And though it would be tough to go through, I think that both of us will survive." I said, reassuring him while I gently caressed his cheek to soon back away.

He blushed in my hands before I pulled away, leaving a smile on his face, "Well…" He started while looking out at the lake, "We're here."

I looked out and saw one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. "Have you ever witnessed anything more, what's the word, astounding?"

I can guarantee that he would've said something cheesy like, "Only when I look at you" but he knew that would've ruined the mood so he simply responded with, "I've never seen a more beautiful landscape in my life before."

We just sat on the sand there, watching as the sun slowly made its descent into the blackness of night. Once it had completely set, I found Kyle half asleep on my shoulder while I had him in a tight embrace. I swiftly looked around to make sure no one was there, or at least looking, and once I was satisfied that no one cared about Kyle and me, I gave him a kiss on the forehead which actually seemed to wake him up.

His eyelids lifted from his slumber, "Morning sleepyhead." I said before freezing up when he just gave me a hug out of the blue. I could tell he didn't care if people were staring because we were now receiving some of the nastiest stares that I had ever gotten. But, I eventually got into it, ignoring the fact that we were in public and just gave him a hug in return. After a few minutes, he lifted his head from my shoulder and I stared into his glassy eyes and started to think that he was about to cry. In fact, he did, leaving me wondering why he was so sad.

"Hey, are you alright? Why are you crying?" I asked hastily, more conserved for him than about the people around me.

Kyle wiped the tears from his face and nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine. I just had a bad dream, that's all."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Well…" He slowly looked to the people around them, "Sure, but not here." He leaned close to my ear and whispered so no one could hear him, "How about in the forest so no one can hear us."

He said it in a more serious voice than I was used to since he was always so bouncy and jolly, but I just kept a stern face and nodded.

We made our way to the outskirts of the city, just on the outside of the main road connecting to it.

He turned around frantically and just looked up at me when he was done. What happened next was something I would never forget. He just jumped up and kissed me, hovering in the air. At first, I was shocked, not knowing what to do, but I eventually got into it and kissed him back.

We were at it like this for a few minutes before we both pulled away from each other for air, a string of saliva connecting us. Afterward, we walked home, keeping a smile on each of our faces.

Once we did get home, however, instead of going into my room and Kyle staying in his bed in the living room with the rest of the Pokemon that lived here, he snuck into my room and cuddled up next to me. Kissing me before drifting off into sleep himself.

That Monday however, was the second worst day of my life. I'll tell you what the first is later. Once I got to school, everyone just looked at me funny, not even taking the time look at me for longer than it took for me to notice them. Once we got into our first classes, since there wasn't any assigned deleting arrangement, I was forced to sit in the farthest corner of the class, being shunned by everyone I crossed.

But, that wasn't even the worst part of that day. It was about lunch time when I heard someone get up into a table, resulting in everyone staring at that person. And it was none other than the bully himself, Rick. Once he had everyone's, including mine, he began to speak.

"Hello to all of my fellow classmates. Now, I bet you're wondering why I'm trying to attract your attention. Well, let me answer that for you." He unfolded a piece of glossy paper to have everyone, including myself, gasp at it. "This right here depicts someone who is breaking the law by being in a relationship with his Pokemon. Now, if you're thinking that I simply Photoshopped this picture to get revenge on this person in the picture, I can assure you, it's not Photoshop. But, why would you take my word? Why not ask the man himself." He said while pointing in my direction as I just stood there with my jaw hung wide open.

All I did was blink and then the room seemed to go dark as I fell into my back from all the "drama" caused by Rick. The last thing I heard before blacking out was Rick's voice in a cocky tone saying, "Well, I think that sums it up pretty well." And then, it was black.
