Hello all! IA here! Cherry told me her muse went on strike, so she asked me to make some stories/oneshots and pile them into a huge story until she can find inspiration!

These will consist of multiple pairing, things from games, and other pokemon related things!

Disclaimer: IF I OWNED POKEMON, YOU WOULD KNOW. *Ahem* Onto the story! Note: This is kind of sad.

It all happens in a flash. Before you can even blink, every pokemon has been sent home, every step vanishing, and each part of your adventure is gone. Your pokemon go back to the wild, old trainers, or professors.

You just smile, and think about that other starter you wanted. You think about how you could beat the game again, and be the very best.

You don't know what it's like in there.

That old team member you 'loved' so much? Yeah, he's confused. Suddenly, his/her trainer is gone, and the poor creature looks around. All your team does the same. And they wait for you every day.

They never see you.

Every day, they sit together is this pixelated world, and wonder if you ever loved them once. You walk by, but it's not the trainer they knew. Where was the trainer who cheered them on? Who kissed them and hugged them? Who didn't care about natures and stats? Who loved you for you?

Because all they see in the trainer who walks by is somebody who would ditch their old team for a better one.

Did she/he ever love me? The ask eachother every day. They stick together. Did you ever see those pokemon who hide? Who never walk out of their hiding spot? No? Yes? Did you ever wonder why?

They were abandoned, just like your team. They don't want another trainer who just leaves them eventually, or who dumps them in a PC. They don't want that again.

They pray to Arecus every night somebody who will really love them comes along.

But it never happens.

And before long, your newer team joins them. Tears stain their cheeks, and tears in their eyes. They look at eachother, and they walk into the trees. They wern't as strong as you hoped, so time to start over. In the middle of the forest, some gather sometimes.

A lake is there with every Magikarp and water type you released. Every pokemon you ever released or were lost in a reset... are there.

Nobody knows the pokemon are there. Nobody will ever know.

Before you leave us... just think about it, okay? I'm your starter... remember me? You gave me a cute nickname, and squealed that you wanna be the very best. I sang along with you, cried with you, cheered with you, and loved you. So... just let me know...

Did you ever really love us?

Or did the love vanish like everything else in the reset?
