A/N: Hello everyone! This story was an inspiration to me since I was thinking it all over in my head and I have decided to share a story that was going in my head for a long time. By the way, it will be always a first person POV, in which the first person was the main character itself. Who was the main character? Read below. Anyway, I hope you will like this chapter.


Ch. 1: Painful Memories That I Cannot Forget

I was so lonely. I have almost been like this since that day happened and I am frustrated about it.

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Alexander. I am a Buizel. A Buizel that always stays in his den and only goes out if he needs to. A Buizel who was known to be silent and lonely. A Buizel that never meets with any pokémon. I do not really want to remember what happened before again but it always hunts my mind everyday.

Some years back, I was walking around and I met some pokémon to play with. That was I before but a while later, something happened.

Flashback

I was playing with the pokémon I have been playing with ever since I met them. We were passing the ball around each other. It was a very basic game for us because were still kids. Pikachu threw the ball at me and I caught it. I passed the ball to the waiting Snivy and she caught it. She passed it to the clumsy Buneary but luckily, she caught it. She passed it to the Riolu and he passed it back to the Pikachu. The cycle continued repeatedly. Then, when it was Buneary's turn to catch, she did not catch it and the ball bounced off into the forest.

"I'll go get it," I volunteered.

I went into the forest where the ball went. I went deeper into the forest and I saw the ball a few meters away from here. I ran to where the ball is and picked it up. I turned around and took a step when someone placed his paw on my shoulder. I looked behind me and I saw three pokémon, a Scyther, a Sandslash and a Zangoose with a scar on his right eye.

"What are you doing in our territory?" the Zangoose said.

'Territory?' I thought. 'There wasn't even a thing around here that implies that the area around here was a territory.'

"I said what are you doing in our territory?" the Zangoose said angrily.

"I just picked the ball that we were playing with," I said. "I'll go now."

"Not so fast, kiddo," The Zangoose said. "The ball is ours now since it landed in our territory."

Then, he quickly snatched the ball from my grip.

"Hey, that's not yours!" I said.

"It's ours now," the Zangoose said.

"Give that back!" I said.

"Never!" he said.

I tried to snatch the ball back but he raised the ball and I cannot reach it. He passed the ball to the Sandslash and I gave chase. Again, the Sandslash did the same and I was desperately trying to reach for it. He passed it back to the Zangoose and again I gave chase. Then, he passed it to the Scyther.

'I've had enough!' I thought.

I used Water Gun to knock the ball out of the Scyther's grip and it worked. I ran towards the ball and I picked it up quickly. Then, I ran away from them.

"Get back here!" the Zangoose said. "That's our ball!"

I can hear their footsteps. I knew that they are chasing after me. I continued running away from them.

"Come back here!" the Zangoose said.

"This is not yours!" I shouted back while I continued running away from them.

"Stop there or we'll kill you!" he said.

After he said the last three words, I felt nervous but I continued running.

"GET BACK HERE!" he shouted, angrily.

Just then, I can already see the exit. I went into the bush and I jumped out of it quickly. I took another step and I tripped, loosing hold on the ball. I can hear the ball bouncing. Just then, I heard a voice.

"There you are, Alexander!" a familiar voice said.

I looked up and I saw a certain Pikachu with the others.

"Come on! Let's play!" the Snivy said.

I stood up I cleaned myself of dirt. I looked back and I saw no one. I took a step towards the others but then I heard a voice.

"Stop right there!" another familiar voice said.

I saw that Buneary quickly hid behind the others. I looked around and I saw the three again. There was a grin on the Zangoose's face.

"Come here, you little brat!" he said.

"Never!" I said.

"Your making it hard for yourself kid," he said. "Get him!"

His two other "minions" surrounded me. I looked at them cautiously and everything tensed up.

"Attack!" he said.

I was aware that my inexperience in battles would get me into trouble. I saw the Scyther coming from my right and I jumped. Just then, I heard Sandslash from my left and I turned around. He was ready for a Slash attack, as I can see from his stance. I prepared my Water Gun and before he can even touch me, he was thrown away by my attack. I landed and I felt pain in my right shoulder. It seems that Scyther slashed me there. I saw another attempt of attacks from the two pokémon but I jumped, making their head colliding with each other.

"I've had enough!" the Zangoose said. "Let's get this over with."

He stepped forward, preparing his claws for battle.

'No way!' I thought. 'Two versus one is enough! I don't think I'll win this…'

Just then, I remembered something.

'Maybe if we will fight them together, there's a chance that these buffoons will lose,' I thought.

I looked to where the other four are before. Then, to my surprise, there was no one.

"What the…" I murmured.

Just then, I felt pain on my stomach. The painful attack was from the Zangoose and I fell into the ground. One by one, they attacked me and as they did that, I am continuously losing hope. It is painful to know that the pokémon whom I have helped, played, and trusted with since I met them and yet they cannot even return the favor by helping me in this situation. The pokémon who I have treated as a friend. My trust was like a broken glass by now. The pain that I was feeling every second was nothing compared to the pain of being betrayed and the pain of having a broken trust. It was… painful… unbearable… unfair. They continued hitting me with different attacks. Then, they have stopped.

"Let's move somewhere else," the Zangoose said. "We're getting too much attention."

Then, I felt that he grabbed me by my float sac. I was going to yelp in pain but then, I found out that I could not speak. In addition, I cannot move either. Just then, I noticed why I am being dragged into the forest. There are pokémon watching around us. I saw them watching. Some are in fear, some are calm and even some of them looked like they enjoyed it. They saw me, beaten into a pulp and yet, no one even dared helping. I was like a heinous criminal that they wanted to be eliminated in this world. I felt myself being dragged by the Zangoose as we went past trees. I waited and waited. I lost hope. Then, I was pushed into a tree.

"Tie him up," the Zangoose said.

The Sandslash found a vine nearby and they tied me up into the tree. Since I cannot move any part of my body, my sight was on the ground. Some of my blood is dripping towards the ground and my blood painted some grass.

"You should've followed our orders before." the Zangoose said "Any last words?"

I cannot speak, I cannot do anything and I cannot even resist.

"Let's get on with this," the Zangoose said. "You two will go first."

I can't do anything. I waited for the pain to come. Then, it came. Pain was going throughout my body. I accepted every blow and I cried because of pain, the unbearable pain that I felt.

"Now, it's my turn to have fun." the Zangoose said.

I can see that the two backed away, since I can see their feet. Then, a new pair of feet replaced the other two.

"Goodbye." he said.

I felt his claw dug deep into me. Then, he pulled out. The pain… the pain of being betrayed and my current pain… I can't take it anymore.

I just wished that I would die instantly right now.

Then, I fell unconscious.

I woke up and saw a ceiling. Wait… a ceiling? I tilted my head and I saw the walls. Just then, I realized I was in my room.

'Was it a dream?' I thought.

I tried to stand up but I failed miserably when I felt pain everywhere. I shouted in pain as I felt myself hit into the straw bed. Then, I saw that I was covered in bandages. I can feel that I have some bandages in my head.

'It was no dream, after all,' I thought.

I remembered what happened. It lingered in my head and I can't stop myself from crying.

"Alexander?" I heard

I looked to where the voice came from. It was my sister, Mara, who was a Floatzel.

"Good grief! You're awake!" she said. "You have been in bed for three days!"

"Three… days?" I said, not being able to speak properly.

"Yes. So, how do you feel?" she said, ever so concerned.

"Fine, I…guess," I said.

"Here, eat this and get some rest," she said and offered a Sitrus Berry.

"Thanks," I said.

I reached for the Sitrus Berry and tried to hold it but my arm was unsteady and I felt pain. Then, I lifted the berry from her hand but then, I lost my grip on the berry and it fell down towards the ground. My sister picked it up and divided it into four pieces.

"Just open your mouth, okay?" she said.

"I'm…no…baby," I said.

"Then, grab some berry outside and eat it," she said.

"You're…kidding," I said.

"Just eat this, okay?" she said.

"Okay," I said.

She offered a piece of the berry and I opened my mouth. I bit the piece of the berry before chewing it. The flavor of the berry was dancing on my tongue. The berry helped somewhat. Then I noticed that her eyes were puffy.

'Did she cry?' I thought.

The process continued until all four pieces of the Sitrus Berry were gone. I looked at her and asked her a question.

"Where are… mom and… dad?" I asked.

Then, she looked to the ground. Did something happen while I was unconscious?

"They… They died… in an accident," she said, tears flowing.

"W-what?" I said.

She cried. The information slowly sunk into me. Then, tears started flowing in my eyes. After a while, she spoke.

"I'll go get something to eat," She said, wiping here eyes. "Stay there and have some rest, okay?"

"Okay," I said.

Three days have passed since I woke up and I'm feeling better. I can walk and talk properly but I must not force myself. There was a berry bush nearby and I picked some of the berries. I ate them and waited for my sister to come back. It was already sunset but she didn't come back yet.

'Did something happen to her?' I thought. 'No. She only took some time looking for some herbs she told me that will be helpful for my recovery.'

I waited by the entrance of the den. I waited and waited until I fell asleep.

Flashback Ends

She never came back. I was angry about it. I didn't now what happened to her. That's how I ended up all alone, in this den. I have never trusted any pokémon that came and went. I've even think about throwing my identity away or to suicide. I can't do the later since I can't force myself to. I just wished that I've never existed in this world.


A/N: Chapter ends! I just want to say that this isn't a one shot story. This will have many chapters and each chapter will take time to be plotted out and typed. Anyway, review!
