She was broken. Broken in so many ways. The girl sat, she cried. She was ridiculed, teased, bullied every day. She still didn't talk. She still couldn't see. She may not have been clinically mute, but she might as well be, because she would only speak when needed, even to her family. She sat, crying, before she heard a window crash to the floor. Her eyes grew wide, stricken with fear. The last thing she heard was a loud crack as something crashed into her head before the black. The nothing.
Then there was a Riolu. This Riolu's name was Bane. Bane was quite optimistic and peppy, but a coward. Bane had been wandering for some time, waiting for just the right pokemon to become his partner. He figured he'd find one someday. He sat patiently, staring out at the ocean. He spotted a speck of color on the sand and decided to check it out. As he climbed down the outside of sharpedo bluff, his home, he saw a small lump of yellow. Upon further examining, he found it to be a Pikachu. He was confused, but the Pikachu seemed to be asleep. He decided to shake it's shoulder.
When our Pikachu opened her milky pale blue eyes and growled as her cheeks sparked with electricity, for she sensed there was someone near her. "Jeeze! Calm down! I'm Bane. Who are you? I just found you asleep here." Bane said, freaked out by this pokemon's sudden attack. The Pikachu somehow found she could talk to him. "Don't remember. Human." Bane looked at her strangely. "Three words? Alright, I'll just call you Nebulae... However, you aren't a human, are you? You look like a totally normal Pikachu to me." Nebulae tentativly raised a hand and petted herself. Fur. Not skin. She growled and this time felt the sparks come out this time. Her ears were long, and she had a lightning bolt tail. Nebulae was confused. Bane smiled as she petted and patted herself. "You really are wierd Nebs." Nebulae turned his direction as he called her 'Nebs' and she growled a bit again. "Calm down! Fine, Nebulae it is. Like I said, I'm Bane, can you say Bane?" She narrowed her eyes. "Bane." She said. "Well, Nebulae, do you have a place to stay?" Nebulae thought. She didn't quite remember. She shook her head and felt someone grab her arm. She squealed and Bane smiled reassuringly even though she couldn't see him. "It's just me, Nebulae, I decided since I have an extra bed at my place you can stay there, as long as you don't destroy anything." Nebulae nodded. It would be important to have a place to stay while she got this mess sorted out. Bane laughed good-naturedly and dragged her through town, running to sharpedo bluff despite the stares from people in Treasure Town.
