P is for Pokemon

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.

Being a Ditto isn't as easy as you think! Because I'm one of the most versatile Pokémon you'll ever see, I not only have to learn to battle as other Pokémon, but my dancing career involves dancing in every type of body imaginable!

Two legged Pokémon like Alakazam are easy to dance as. Four legged Pokémon like Glameow require a little more effort, but I'm not bad at dancing with four legs. But can you imagine dancing as a bird, like Pidgey? Or what about a fish, like Goldeen? Sure, underwater it's not so bad, but on land? It's torture I tell you! Snakes like Seviper are a challenge too.

But the Pokémon that's hardest to dance as? That would easily be Geodude. It has no legs! How am I supposed to dance with just arms? I'm a backup dancer for many famous singers, both human and Pokémon. They usually want a certain species of Pokémon for the backup dancers so we all look similar and don't distract the audience from the singer. But just imagine, I have to keep pace with several other Pokémon who were born into this species (or at least evolved a long time ago) and blend in! And one time I had to do it as a Geodude!

The hardest part about dancing is how each Pokémon species balances it's body weight differently. That's always hard to adjust to in dancing, much more so than in battling. But no matter what, it's a challenge. And dancing is so much fun, I wouldn't trade it for any battling trophy in the world!
