Hi everyone. This is a poem about, as the title suggests, Psyduck. He has been portrayed in the anime as slow, dumb-witted and deficient in many ways. Yet he is the one who is always willing to step in (literally from his Pokeball) and take the foes. At times, he even saves the day with his psychic power, beating Team Rocket when the more 'adequate' Pokemons, like Pikachu, are defeated. But what does he get in return? Constant insults from his trainer, blaming him for jumping out of the Pokeball when he just wants to help. He may be the centre of attention in some episodes, but never the centre of affections. Do not get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Misty. But her temper towards Psyduck always bother me. I believe Psyduck would be better off with Brock.
He charged forward with battle cry;
He aimed his foe with psychic beam;
He shot across a hydro pump;
He dodged attacks ahead of him.

Yet he tripped over as he charged;
Yet his aiming was never right;
Yet hydro pump came as water sport;
Yet dodging failed, he collapsed in fright.

For the poor creature named Psyduck,
Battle had never been his kind—
A Pokemon needs its trainer
To train with genuine care in mind.

Did this trainer care? Only to
An egg with limbs, with cheesy beam,
Not even a water type; wasn't that
Heiress to Cerulean Gym?
xxx
For the few times he had won,
His victories came at handy times;
But she would never be so kind,
Remarking on his stupid clime.
Thank you for your time. Please leave a review and tell me what you think. I am thinking about writing some more poems on neglected/ under uesd/ under rated Pokemon in the anime. Maybe Wobbuffet, Charizard, or Pigeot. I believe there is much more to write about in the whole Pokemon world other than shippings that have become cliches. Feel free to click on my profile and take a look at my other Pokemon poems.
