I cried, for what felt like hours, before I finally stopped.

I was starting realize how cold I was, from all the shivering my body was doing. I had to find someplace to sleep.

There was one little problem though, I had no place to go. I was in a wide, open field with nothing in it but grass and few trees here and there.

So I just started walking, pulling my arms around myself to try and get a little warmer.

My legs felt like weights as I dragged them along the road, my horns, feeling even heavier. I struggled just to keep them up.

I could feel myself getting weaker, like I was about to pass out. I stopped for a moment, trying to calm myself down. I rubbed my face, but it wasn't helping much, my body was shivering so much, with tears staining my face.

I felt lost, completely alone and defeated. I fell to ground, as my vision faded, and I slipped into unconsciousness.

"I'm telling you don't go." A woman with pink hair and gentle blue eyes, told a young girl.

The woman grabbed the girl's hand and looked her in the eyes, which told the young girl she meant it.

The girl couldn't have been more than ten years old. Her hair was short and brown, and her brown eyes burned with passion.

She was wearing what appeared to be a girl scout uniform, it was fairly common apparel for female trainers it seems.

"I'm going and you can't stop me nurse joy." The brown haired girl scout said, as she tried to yank her hand out of the nurse's grip. But the nurse held on tight, keeping the girl in place.

"Come on, let me go!" The young girl screamed at the pink haired woman, her struggling increasing. But Nurse Joy keep her grip firm, not intending to let her go at all.

"No, It is my duty to look after the pokemon and trainers that come to the pokemon center. Whatever it is you are looking for, I'm sure it can wait until morning." Nurse Joy gave the girl a serious look, that sent a shiver down her spine.

"F-fine!" the girl yelled out, her face turning red.

"But I'm leaving as soon as dawn breaks, got it?" the girl scout told joy, and she simply nodded. The young woman was starting to calm down and nurse joy let go of her, telling her to go get some rest. To avoid a scolding from a scary nurse, the girl scout obeyed and went to bed.

The next morning...

"I'm going nurse joy, thanks for taking care of chikorita! The browned haired girl scout told the nurse, as she was getting ready to leave.

"Please take it easy Liz." the pink haired nurse told her, waving goodbye. Liz ran out of door as fast as her feet would take her, towards Violet city.

I awoke tired, and thirsty, and not to mention hungry. I was up and walking again, after I realized I fell asleep right in the middle of the road.

I'm glad nobody found me, but I guess humans don't like to walk around when it's dark. But the last thing I wanted to see was another human.

My sorrow had turned into rage, and I was feeling a lot of it, and wasn't sure what I was going to do if I saw one.

All of a sudden I heard a faint sound, something like footsteps, and they were getting louder. I freaked out.

What if it's a human? They might want to capture and beat me!

I felt myself starting to cry but I managed to stop myself, this is no time to break down. I took a look around and spotted a tree, a little ways off the road and so I ran over and hid behind it.

Whatever it was, it was getting closer, as the sound was getting louder. I ducked closer to the tree, hoping it would shield me.

After a second or two I saw a girl, running down the road. She had brown hair and she was wearing what looked like a girl scout uniform.

Was she a trainer? I felt myself starting to shake, I couldn't let her see me. The girl stopped all of a sudden, right in front of my tree.

"Phew, I guess I ran a little too much, I'm exhausted." Liz breathed out, as she was starting to pant.

"I think I'll rest here for a while." the girl stated as she started to sit down under the tree she was in front of.

"Come out chikorita!" the brown haired girl said as she threw one of those pokeballs out. I started to stare at it, those things keep fellow pokemon imprisoned inside them.

It keep me inside of it, and people can just call us out when they feel like it, like some pet, or attack dog or something. I started to get mad, those humans think we are just some kind of stupid animal, that only lives on instinct.

They don't realize that we feel, and we think, about a lot of things actually. A pokemon appearing from the small contraption pulled me from my thoughts. It was bright green, with a little seed looking collar around it's neck, but the most noticeable feature was the rather large leaf on it's head.

I leaned in a little closer without realizing it and tripped. It made quite a ruckus too as both the chikorita and human both turned to look at me.

Liz heard a sound, so she turned around to investigate. As she turned did she see a small black and yellow looking pokemon, on the ground looking at her. The brown haired girl had never seen this kind of pokemon before, so without making a sound, she took out her pokedex, that she got from Professor Elm, and pointed it at the small pokemon.

As Liz did this the pokemon in question just looked at her, waiting for her to make a move. The pokedex lit up and started to describe the pokemon in front of her in a mechanical feminine voice.

"Mawile, the deceiver pokemon. Mawile has jaw-like appendages at the end of it's steel horns. Don't be taken by this Pokemon's cute face – it's very dangerous. Mawile fools the foe into letting down it's guard then chomps down with it's massive jaws"

The pokedex recited like it had done so one-hundred times. The pokedex continued describing the mawile in question.

"Current level 11, attacks known include: astonish, bite, frustration, and pain split. This particular mawile is female."

The voice finished, as the device turned itself off and Liz put it away.

I simply watched as the girl's machine described things about me. I didn't know I could use pain split, or frustration for that matter. But I couldn't make a move yet, so I just watched her, and waited for her to make the first move.

After a few minutes of staring at each other, the girl finally got up and turned to her chikorita.

"Deceiver? Not that cute little thing." The girl told her pokemon while nodding. She then turned around and started to approach me. I tensed up as the brown haired girl got closer to me and reached her hand out, trying to touch my head.

You aren't fooling me you human, all of you act like you care, then you turn on us when things don't go your way. I quickly got up, turned around and bit the girl.

"Oww oww oww!" The trainer yelled, trying to shake me loose. But I wasn't having that, they were going to pay, all of them. I bit down harder, and I heard a sound, the sound of bones breaking.

The girl scout screamed even louder, as she started to cry. "Chikorita! Please help!" the girl screamed to her partner still trying to get me off.

The small bright green pokemon jumped, and tackled me off the girl. We both rolled on the ground when we fell, and I got up, getting myself ready to fight. I wasn't going to let myself be captured again, no matter what.

I will not belong to some human, ever again. "That's it, I'm going to capture you Mawile! Chikorita! Use razor leaf!" the brown haired girl commanded. Her pokemon obeyed, swinging it's head and launching a volley of razor sharp leaves at me. I quickly jump out of the way.

Even if I don't like to fight, I had to, or risk being captured again. And I couldn't let that happen, no matter what.
