I do not own pokemon.
We are the twenty-eight pokemon that could form hallucinations.
We have the innate ability to imagine, to put in down, as well as the magic to make all that is fake seems real and all that is real seems fake.
We are the Unown.
Only us, the Unows, can create hallucinations that is unrivaled by no living beings, not even the humans. We have both the ability to imagine as well as the ability to put in down, what's more, we have something which humans could never have, we have the magic.
Humans had copied our shapes and used it to convey things, to create hallucinations as well.
However, many of them lack one thing or another.
Some lack the ability to imagine while others lack the ability to put it down in words.
Many youngsters would find the ability to imagine easy. But they, in their youth, lack the ability to put it down in words. They are unable to convey what they feel to those who see it.
Adult humans, having more experience than the youngster will have the ability to put it down in words, but as they grew up, they lost the ability to imagine freely, to think of things outside the borderline of reality. 'To think out of the box' as they would say. They had lost their innocence.
Many beings had sought us, beings who found the reality cruel, wanting to escape from it.
They wanted us to create a perfect hallucination for them. What they couldn't have in reality, they wanted us to give it to them, what they don't want in the reality, they wanted us to destroy it.
We agreed to do so at first, to create a perfect hallucination for them for a period of a month so that they are able to enjoy haven for a period of time.
We thought that there is no harm in doing so.
But we were very wrong; we had made a wrong judgment.
At first, all had gone well. The first few beings that we helped lived happily in our hallucinations, but once the month is up, they were unwilling to go back to the reality. They found it much crueler than when they had went in, and wanted us to create hallucinations forever, but that was impossible.
We, the Unown, also have our limits.
When other living beings also heard of our powers, they too, sought us. Even those who only had little troubles in life sought us.
All of them wanted a perfect life.
A perfect hallucination.
Due to the pressure they put on us, we gave in to their requests and created one hallucination after another for them. We worked ceaselessly, never once stopping to rest.
What that had started out as a kind act, had now turned into a nightmare for us.
At the end of three months, we had already reached our limits.
We were no longer able to sustain that many hallucinations.
We gave in to fatigue.
We had slept undisturbed for millenniums, until now.
A human girl had awoken us.
She had awoken us by her sincere wish.
We had refused to wake up at first, but when we felt her tears, we relented.
We created a perfect hallucination for her.
Now that we thought of it, we regretted our action.
We should have continued to refuse her, to continue on sleeping in peace.
But what that had been done, could not be undone.
If only we are able to give ourselves a perfect hallucination, it will be a place where we could sleep undisturbed, where no living beings will pester us.
All we wanted is peace and quiet.
Is that too much to wish?
