Everyone despises me for being too wierd and creepy. Everyone in this world is just so judgemental.

Pokemon don't even want me to exist they say. I never was accepted anywhere. The only ones who say otherwise are my family.

My parents which were both Mimikyu. And my siblings all named Nie, Mie, Iie, Mai, Mou.

My name was Eie. Pronounced E.

I was the oldest out of my 5 siblings at age 16. In order our ages were 16, 13, 11, 8, 6, 4.

I would never replace them with anyone else. I loved them all as much as I possibly could.

My parents always said family was the most important thing in life. In spite of our financial status my parents had lots of children. They were actually expecting another egg to hatch in the spring.

Nee-nee if it was a girl. Nou if it was a boy.

My father worked 3 jobs to support all 7 of us. I started working because of the on-the-way baby.

My mom took care of the house and the eldest to the third oldest helped mom make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My mom always said once we were 10 to at least try and help her out.

Because of the rule our family had a clean house and food in their tummies but paying the bills was rough.

Even with dad working three jobs and my job we barely had any money left to eat. My sister Nie wanted to help out but she couldn't work until she was 16. She helped me with the laundry and making lunches for our younger siblings.

We were all grateful for each other, and the food on the table, and the things we recieved.

I never complained when I had a worn out book bag, borrowed school textbooks, and a used uniform. I got stares at school often but they didn't know me so I never let it bother me.

Some pokemon went farther than others calling me a freak or taking my things when I wasn't looking and throwing them in the fountain.

I wasn't a wannabe Pikachu like everyone says Mimikyu is. I was just a Mimikyu.

One day I came home soaking wet after a bucket of water had been dunked on me from the second floor at school. I walked inside nonchalantly into the apartment with a bucket on top of my head.

"I'm home."

"Welcome home Eie. I- Oh my Arceus! What happened to you?!"

"Just some idiots at school mom. Nothing to worry about."

"I should report them for doing this to my son."

"Sure maybe they'll actually get in trouble this time. Millions times the charm."

"Oh well anyways supper's ready Eie. If you want to eat."

"What are we eating?"

"2 week old poke puffs. At the bakery where your father was taking out the trash. The owner was nice enough to give him some."

"That sounds delicious mom. I'm gonna head to the bathroom to dry off."

"Alright Eie. EVERYONE SUPPERS READY!! NIE! MIE! IIE! MAI! MOU!"

I chuckled as usual because we had been named after Eeenie mennie Minnie mou.

I walked into the bathroom and changed out of my wet uniform shirt and changed into a t-shirt.

I won't be able to tell mom. I should leave her note and leave after they all went to bed.

We sat down at the table waiting for dad to arrive. We all sat down at our seats, my mom tucking in egg into it's own seat.

We chatted about how our days went laughing for a time. Until we heard the front door open and dad walked in with a tired expression but a proud smile on his face.

"Hey dear. How did work go?"

My mom said before she and dad kissed by nuzzling their disguise heads together.

"It went well. I'm making 5 more pokemon dollars now."

And that was pretty much how our days went. Only tonight it was going to end differently.

After dinner and after I made sure the entire family was asleep I stared packing my things.

I didn't need much so packing did not take long.

A blanket, umbrella, my school things, money, some ramen cups, chips and berries, and my gas stove.

I slung my things over my back and left my note on the kitchen table before heading out.

While I walked down the street I remembered exactly what my letter read word for word.

Everyone,

I'm moving out. The only reason I am is because I don't like watching us scraping for food and barely making it by for rent. So you have one less mouth to feed I'm moving somewhere. It may seem selfish but I will always put you, my family first. I promise to visit as soon as I get on my feet. I will still go to school and eventually go to college to support you all one day. Until then goodbye for now. I love you all. Take care of each other. And just know you all will always be in my heart.Eie

A single tear fell down my face as I headed towards the outskirts of town.

A single shack stood there in a barren field. I pushed aside the door and slipped inside.

I have been coming here for the past several weeks. I fixed the water and the lighting. For when the time would come for me to move in.

I tried to find the string for the lightbulb in the dark and when my claw found it I pulled on the string and the room lit up.

A hole on the floor for the toilet, an ice chest for the refirgerator, and a single window on the top left.

This was only temporary but for now it was my new home.

"I'm home."
