"Father, no!" I cried as my father turns his back on me to walk off.
"Shinx, you have disgraced our family and the Clan. You failed to evolve in the Ceremony of Light, and you are banished in shame until you evolve or manage a noble feat," said Minato, a Luxray. He is my father, and the leader of a clan of Luxray, Luxio, and Shinx.
"I did everything in the Ceremony as you taught me! Something must be wrong with the Ceremony!" I said as Minato continued to walk away. Minato stopped and turned around.
"Stop making excuses, son. Accept your banishment. You know nothing is wrong with the Ceremony. Your brother, Oran, evolved just two moons ago," Minato said coldly. "Goodbye."
Minato walked away without looking back at me. I didn't receive my name because I didn't complete the Ceremony of Light. I was banished from my clan. I hope this is a nightmare…
Oh well… I know I'm right about the Ceremony having something wrong with it.
Here I am, in Burning Woods, my home. Burning Woods is a lesser-known area of Ilex Forest. I haven't ever even seen a trainer, though the elders always talked about having to avoid being captured in their younger moons. Then there was that one weird Luxray….
I slumped my shoulders. What am I going to do? I'm an unnamed Shinx, a Pokémon that's not even native to the Johto region. My ancestors were brought seasons ago by a trainer named Hikari. Minato told me that this trainer was caring to Pokémon, and when she grew old, she released our ancestors, a female Luxio and a weird, yellow Luxray.
I never understood that part about being yellow. Luxray are blue and black, our only yellow we have is on the stars on the end of our tails, that we all take great pride in.
I continue walking as I think about simple things that are impossible to understand, like yellow Pokémon, humans, swarms of Beedrill….
Wait…swarms of Beedrill?! A huge swarm was rushing towards me, there must be like 200 Beedrill flying toward me…
…
…
Ok, maybe not that many, but there's a lot. Like…. Seven. Anyways, the point is that there's enough to hurt me!
I run in the opposite direction as the Beedrill, but they can fly faster than I can run. Oh, why couldn't I have evolved? If I did, I might know Agility by now, and be able to speed away! Wait…
Oh yea, not evolving is why I'm in this situation in the first place. Stupid Ceremony of Light…
What the hell kind of father throws out their child because they can't evolve?
Oh yea, MINE!
The Beedrill easily overtake me and start attacking me.
"Why are you attacking me? I'm a Pokémon like you!" I cried as they hit me with their Poison Stings and Fury Attacks. I slowly felt my consciousness draining with each hit.
"Stop that!" I hear someone yell as I black out. There are two things I remember before fainting. Flames engulfing the Beedrill above me, and seeing my tail on fire.
"Not my tail!" I remember thinking as the last of my consciousness drips away.
So! That's the first chapter. I wanted to make it funnier and give it a lighter mood, but it's the first chapter, and I wanted to get Shinx's backstory out of the way, or at least part of it. Next chapter should be funnier. I plan to upload twice a week, maybe more depending on school and how I feel throughout the week. Any reviews are appreciated, and I should be able to answer the first few relatively soon! Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed. Sorry it's a bit short as well, I didn't want to reveal too much, not to mention it's a bit late.
