I do not own Pokémon

HE RAISED ME

We met at Lake Verity.
He used me to fight alongside
Chimchar my good friend.
I was surprised when Rowan partnered us up but I knew he was capable.
Together we traveled battling trainers and Pokémon alike
until one by one all the badges were ours.
When I became a Grotle he was overjoyed as he was when I evolved once again.
Together we fought the man in the silver suit and captured Palkia himself.
But when we reached the elite four we were helped.
A fellow trainer lent us two of his Pokémon for the battle.
I had never seen anything like them before.
Their names were Charizard and Mew something.
We fought against Cynthia in epic battle.
She was tough but not even she could knock us down.
After we were crowned champions we went to a place that looked like some kind of capture zone.
We caught many strange Pokémon that he said were from different regions.
After that, well, we went to an even bigger island were we met a strange old human.
This person said that my partner and I shared a special bond.
They said that due to this bond I could learn a special move that he could teach me.
And so came the day when I learnt frenzy plant.
We went on many more journeys fighting trainers such as Callum and Dawn.
Until eventually he left me with Rowan so he could train his other Pokémon.
And so I stay here at the lab.
Socializing with the others that he has caught.
We haven't seen each other for a while.
But Miganium tells me that he just got back from route 224.
She says there was a ruined block where he had to thank the one he is most grateful to.
And you know what she says he wrote?
One simple eight letter word.
Torterra
And when she told me this I knew he cared for me like he would for no other Pokémon.
After all.

He raised me.
