Unwanted- Spearow's Tale
By Max
"Why would I want a Spearow? They're so mean!"
I hear it again. I hear it so many times, not always the same phrasing, but
always the same meaning. I'll stand by the edge of the path, and one or two,
sometimes more, of the humans will walk by.
She calls me 'mean'. I'm not mean. Aggressvive, yes, but not mean. I have to
be aggressive. I'm a predator. So are the Pidgeys. True, I hunt larger creatures
usually, but what difference should that make?
Sometimes they'll call me 'ugly'. This I definitely do not understand. I walk
between the trees, over to a pond, and look in. I'm very attractive for a Spearow.
I have a nice sharp beak and clean, well-groomed feathers. I'm well proportioned.
I'm strong, but I don't look overly muscular.
One time, I was watching a pair of humans. One had taken a Pikachu out of a
redwhite ball, and the other is admiring it, calling it 'cute' and petting it. I examine
the Pikachu carefully, remaining in the shadows. Let's see: A Pikachu has no
feathers, only fur. No, that's not it. They think Pidgeys are 'cute' too. Though not
as cute. So fur does make some difference. What else?
They keep looking at it's face. Is it it's nose? It's so small. A nose is sort of like a
beak, I suppose, maybe the size of the nose/beak has something to do with it.
What about the mouth? Oh, it just smiled! They always like that. That's very 'cute'.
Sometimes I'll try to smile. I'll practice at the pond. I can sort of do it, by flexing the
small muscles at the edge of my beak, and opening my mouth a little. But that
desn't seem to be enough. Maybe it's the eyes. The little, shiny, round, black eyes.
My eyes aren't very circular. And they don't shine, and they aren't just black. But
humans have eyes sort of like mine, and they seem to like each other most of the
time. What makes me 'ugly'? I still don't understand.
It's not that I want to be captured, forced into one of those redwhite balls, and treated
like an object. I just would like to feel...
...wanted.

I was inspired by other 'from the pokémon's POV' fics, the spearow who attacked
Pikachu in epsode one (Dexter said it was 'jealous'), and my brother searching for
pics of the 'cutest' pokémon. I have seen _no_ Spearow/Fearow fans (other than
myself), and hope this will make some.
