I am a Mareep!
As the grass brushes under my feet, and the sun warms my fluff, I smile.
But only for a moment.
Because then I remember.
All the horrible things my herd did to me.
All the names they called me.
My family, and the other Mareeps, think of me as an outcast.
I am what Pokémon Trainers call a "shiny."
Why does my herd not like me?
Is it because my fluff is purple?
I walk the same, talk the same, and behave the same.
Why can't I play with you or eat with you?
No one cares about me. Not the other Mareeps, anyway.
I sit and think about what to do.
I fall asleep.
I awake. The sun is sinking.
I leave my herd, and make my decision.
I will go into the tall grass, and wait until a Trainer comes.
Then, I will battle,
And faint,
Never to see daylight again.
