Chapter 2: unwanted
My name is Ani, I'm a 6-month-old Machop and I've lived it happily. I wouldn't try my life for the world.
My mommy is the best, she holds me close and always sings to me. The other pokemon say machokes can't sing but my mommy can. She is the best mommy in the world; I just love my mommy, I've only met my daddy a couple times, but he is really funny. He has so many hands and he likes to throw me up and catch me, I trust he will always catch me, how can he miss?
Every night I curl up against my mommy, the lady always tries to put my mommy somewhere, into something called a poke ball, she tried to put me into one once too but my mommy wouldn't let her. I love my mommy.
One time a strange man came and he kept talking about me, how I was a bad and useless pokemon and should be put down.... I don't know what he means by that...
But my mommy and daddy will always protect me.
Crash.
"ANI NOT AGAIN!" growled Mimi the blue brown breeder. She picked up the machop by the wrist and sat the pokemon out doors. Ani, not knowing where she had been put sat down at once tell someone told her where she was.
Her hazel eyes stared at nothing, the slight clouding still there. She moved her hands feeling the wood of the porch under her feet. She sat alone on the small wooden porch that lead down to a small garden in the front yard.
The pokemon took in the sweet scents of the area, trying to remember where this place was.
She heard grumbling as the screen door slammed opened hitting the fighting type and sending the young pokemon to the ground.
"Chop!" she cried in pain before beginning to cry. The breeder stared down a little annoyed from the pokemon, but she felt bad for hurting it.
"I didn't mean to hit you now be quiet before I decide to spank you" she growled, the machop shut her mouth sniffling.
"Choke" Ani's mother walked up the path and quickly took the young child into her arms. "Machoke" she growled.
"Don't take that tone with me or I swear I'll sell that little pest to the first offer I get" the human growled. The machoke stood back, the baby sniffling in her arms; her human had never threatened her before. Mimi had always been kind to her pokemon.... why the sudden change?
"Go to the barn, you have a contest to win" snapped the human, Grace turned the little machoke glazed eyes stared into space while the mother carried her child to there stall in the barn.
Mimi had given them a room in there when she couldn't force Grace into her pokeball anymore. The red tan machoke placed her baby in the hay; the soft gray machop curled up into happily knowing this was a safe place.
*~ All speech is now pokemon*~
"...Ani, tell me. What happened?" the mother asked bending down to her child.
"I bump table" she sniffled "Not mean it"
"I know baby, maybe you should stay away from the house a couple days hmm?" the mother soothed, she took her hand and rubbed her babies cheek gently the machop cooing in delight.
"Ok...." she whimpered. "Mommy?" she asked.
"Hmm?" the machoke replied as she sat down beside Ani.
"Why...why am I different?" she asked while wrapping her arms around her mother's.
"...Different? How?" her mother asked, now seeing that she was going to have to tell her daughter.
"I know I not same, like you, like daddy" Ani said, her mother kissed the pokemon on her head now feeling ashamed from keeping it from her.
"Ani, you have something that few pokemon have. You were born blind," her mother said. "Blind? What's that?"
"Its when...well, when you can see"
"See?"
Grace realized this was going to be harder then she thought, how do you explain sight to someone who has never seen?
"...Well...err...you have eyes, they can see the world around you. When your eyes take something in you know what it looks...your not getting this is you?"
"No"
"Thought so"
"But that ok" Ani grinned, "seeing not sound that fun"
Grace laughed, her daughter may not always see it that way but for now it was fine. At least she wasn't depressed. She always had a bright side to her; she got that from her father. Grace leaned back into the hay, her daughter snuggling into her side. The machoke thought about her mate, it had been a month since she seen him. Seth. Oh how she missed him, how she wanted to find him.
Machokes mated for life, being away from their mate was hard on them at times. That's why it's sometimes dangerous to breed machokes since they grow so attached to one other.
~End poke' speech~
The next morning, the machoke still lay beside her child; they had stayed there the rest that day before turning in for the night. The slick built machoke cradled her large machop against her chest feeling the slow raise of the child's chest against her.
She didn't hear the footsteps come and enter the barn, but Ani did. She didn't bother to wake. She didn't think it meant anything, if only she knew that this was the last time she would see her mother.
"Grace return," snapped a voice, before the machoke could react she had been sucked into the pokeball leaving the defenseless machop alone in the hay. Ani jerked up her head facing the human even though her eyes could not see.
A chuckle was heard before the machop was grabbed by her neck and pulled out of the stall. She wailed loudly at the human trying to free herself.
"Mimi doesn't want you anymore, so I get you...I know a hid company who would love some baby machop skin to make a purse" he laughed, it was the trainer, Charles, he had returned Grace and left her pokeball laying in the hay. "CHOP! CHOP!" Ani cried trying to get free of the man's grip, she slipped free and ran, but not knowing where she was going led her right into a poll.
Clang, she fell over a throbbing pain on the front of her face and forehead.
"Your such a stupid thing" Charles's growled as he snatched up the pokemon under his arm. He held her this time around the waist and the young pokemon could not get free.
She wailed loudly as she was throne into the back of a truck into a cage, much like a dog carrier. She screeched out to her mother, to anyone who would hear. The wailing cries of an innocent child could be heard for miles, it was easy to mistake it for a human.
Charles ignored it as he got into the front seat of his car, his umbreon greeted him, and it sat beside him. The human rubbed it's head and smiled.
"Lets take out the trash"
The truck started up and away they went, down the road and away from Ani's home and her mother.
A couple hours later, Ani had cried so much that she no longer could shed tears nor wail. She whimpered every time the truck hit a bump. She didn't understand, she didn't know. Why did everyone want to hurt her? What did she do to them? Where was mommy? Wasn't she supposed to protect her?
Ani inched to the end of the carrier, gripping the bars with her small hands. She could feel the rush of the air and smell the gas from the truck. She couldn't smell nor hear anything but the sound of the truck going down the road.
Out of nowhere it took a sharp turn, sending the carrier across the back of the truck and the careless human hadn't bothered to shut the back. The carrier flew onto the back of the road going into a spin sending the machop for a ride. She screeched with fear as it fell into a ditch, it had rained a few days back and the carrier began to fill with water.
Ani struggled to get away from the water, something told her to stay away. The pokemon wanted out, she felt like she was in that dark place again. Inside that thing, where she had spent a lot of her life in She was thinking about her egg.
"Machop! Chop!" she called, her throat was sore from her cries.
"HOLY CHEESE FRIES THERE IS A POKEMON IN THERE!" screamed a voice.
Splash.
Someone was coming...someone was coming for her. Someone was going to save her; maybe they knew where mommy was.
"Chop! Chop!"
"I'm coming...the water is cold" said the voice, it sounded young. A blond haired boy had jumped into the waist deep water trying to get to the carrier before it filled with water. The boy was named Yuiko Bern; he was a pokemon researchers boy. He had thick glasses on his nose and bright green eyes. His clothes were fitting, a button down shirt and tight jeans. His bag lay on the side of the road.
He grabbed the crate and opened it quickly; he reached in not thinking twice about what kind of pokemon it could be. He gripped Ani; she was neck deep in the water and pulled her out. The pokemon at once cling to him like he was her mother.
"Hey its ok, your ok" Yuiko comforted as he pulled himself out of the muddy water and onto the side of the road, he pulled out a jacket from his bag and wrapped the machop in it.
"You're soaked and it's growing colder...who could do such a thing to you? You're just a babe..." the boy said, he took the machop in his arms, pulling the bag onto his shoulder and began to make his way home.
