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.

Early on in our journey together, my trainer acquired an egg, which shortly afterward hatched into a Cleffa. Although I'll be the first to admit, my trainer loves each of her Pokémon as if we were her own children, she can be, shall we say, absentminded? In crowded or new areas, or even simply focusing on another task, her attention wanders. While this is not a problem with most Pokémon and trainer combinations, a baby Pokémon and the queen of absentminded trainers do not match up well.

That's where I come in. I had to baby sit Cleffa. I always kept an eye on her and essentially raised her as a foster mother for my trainer. After Cleffa grew up and evolved, another egg-hatched Pokémon joined our team, this time a Whynaut. Again, I had to raise my trainer's baby Pokémon or else they would wander off and get lost.

Once our journey was over, I figured my trainer would mature and be able to raise her daughter almost all on her own, with only relying on my help every so often. Wrong. I'm currently her daughter's nanny.

If there's one thing I think trainers should learn on their Pokémon journeys, it's to learn maturity enough to raise their children with the experiences they've earned from raising their Pokémon.
