P is for Pokemon

by PooglesBiggestFan

A set of short stories, each told from the perspective of a different Pokemon with a different life style. I write one every month, so I'll try to update this often. However, as they're only half a page to a page written, don't expect anything great.

I know, you've heard it before, but I'm the best Pokémon at my job! Pidgeys were made for the life of a pirate! I know, pirates are supposed to have brightly colored birds, like a Natu or a Swablu, but I'm better! I flit about the wooden ship, my feathers blind in with the brown, so no one detects my presence. When I fly back outside and perch on the mast, so long as the ship's close enough to land, the captain doesn't pay any attention to me. That's their fatal mistake! I fly back to my own ship and alert my captain of their position, their defenses and their man power. Yep, I'm a sort of spy. Sometimes, I even get to sabotage the other ship, breaking their cannons loose, spilling the gunpowder or soaking it, sometimes I even bring back a small piece of treasure prematurely. And whenever the raid goes especially well, I get a good chunk of the spoils for my role. It doesn't really matter to me, I get enough satisfaction out of my job with out any rewards. My perch, the place I belong, is on my captain's shoulder. We're a pretty good team, he's always got my back and I've always got his.
