Pokemon Diary
I wanted to do something different, so I've decided to do a few stories from the pokemon's perspective. What would really help is if you gave me a few pokemon to write about. Cheers!
Nobody understands us. Nobody wants us. Why are we here? I don't know. We are pokemon, just like every other. The Magikarp race is looked upon as a disgrace to the pokemon world. Why? I can't understand. Just because we can't battle, people think we're useless. All trainers of today care about are strong pokemon who can win battles for them, that's us out of the running. Nobody wants a Magikarp. Our race has lived since the very beginning of time. We have been the prey and fun of many other pokemon over the years. Although many of us know that, we wouldn't want to be any other pokemon. Sure, some of them have cool abilities like flying, and telepathy, but we don't want any of that. Why you ask? It's simple.
Many of my neighbouring friends, mostly Staryu and Chinchou, never stay for long. They are always caught by travelling trainers. But of course, we could be invisible for all they care. We are mostly undisturbed, despite the few who use us as dummies for their pokemon's attacks. You see, no power-hungry, cruel trainer would catch us because we are no good at battles.
A couple of weeks ago, I was spotted by a young boy and his voltorb, who wanted an easy target, one that would not fight back. Bingo, it was his lucky day. I might as well have been wearing a sign that said 'Hey you, wanna attack me? I won't fight back.' But I suppose that's us Magikarp in a nutshell, huh?
He commanded his voltorb to fire a thunder wave into the water. Being a water pokemon, it was my instinct to get away, in this case jumping out of the water. Then his voltorb used a pointless amount of electricity to turn me into tonight's dinner. (Good thing were nothing but scales and bones.) I flopped pathetically on top of the water, unable to move a muscle. The boy laughed, and just walked on like all of them.
I sat there for hours, paralysed to the spot, I thought I was done for, The Fearow were just appearing over the horizon, looking for food no matter how much they gained. (in this case, all they were gonna get was a tooth ache.) I closed my eyes and waited for the impact.
But nothing came….
I opened my eyes to see a Jynx scaring the Fearow away with a blizzard attack. Seconds later I noticed a female trainer, she must have been the owner of the Jynx. After the Fearow had fled, she returned her pokemon and walked over to me. I thought she was gonna finish me off.
To my surprise however, she pulled out what looked like a paralyse heal and potion from her backpack. She pulled me in to the bank, and treated my injuries. She was the kindest human I had ever seen. After the treatment, she got up, waved and walked off into the distance. I jumped as high as I could, flapping my fin to say goodbye.
So I was wrong, there are a few trainers out there who care for us. I just hope one day I see that girl again. Who knows? Maybe she'll catch me!
Well, that wasn't the most interesting story, was it? I needed to start somewhere. Get those reviews rolling in so I can improve the story, and get some ideas for my next entry!
