Fragments of Thoughts

Disclaimer: I was about…8 years old in 1997, when (I believe) Pokemon first came out in Japan. You think an 8 year old kid could make something a quarter if the awesomeness that is Pokemon? Dude, you're crazy.

Absol, a.k.a sheer coolness. And complainingness, apparently. Enjoy. I also apologise for the title, though I kinda like it.

Absolution, Absolutely

It astounds me how an entire race of beings can be so inherently stupid and at the same time have such a deathgrip on the world. They choke the atmosphere, poison the seas and ruin the soil and they blame us? We are not the ones killing the planet, morons. We don't cause avalanches; global warming does that nicely with all the melted snow. It's so typical of humans to find a scapegoat when they realise how badly they've screwed up and are trying to find someone to blame instead of trying to sort it out.

What's the whole prejudice against us Darks, anyway? A Houndoom will burn you forever because you were too stupid to get out of the way in time, and because you were agitating it enough for it to burn you in the first place. It's a huge freakin' hell hound! It could rip off your arm if it wanted to, amongst much more painful and unpleasant things! What part of 'leave it alone, stupid' don't you get? (Also, note that Ninetales is more vengeful and spiteful than all Dark Pokemon put together, but for reasons I will never know everybody loves it).

Murkrow's in the same boat as us; it's 'evil' and a 'bad omen'. How is a nocturnal bird minding is own business suddenly the cause of half the evil in the world, the cause of the other half being us? If it was bright pink and had a cute name you'd be falling over yourselves to have one. I don't see anyone blaming Noctowl. It comes out at night, it must be evil! Oh no, it's brown. Brown isn't an 'evil' colour. You people amaze me, you really do.

It's no wonder we rarely come down from the mountains if the cities are just idiot breeding grounds ready to point their fingers and scream whenever we do. A hurricane happened on the other side of the world? Hey, I just saw an Absol! Coincidence? I think not! Way to go, genius.

When I was younger, I didn't believe what the elders said about humans. I thought that surely it couldn't be possible for such an advanced race, with all their knowledge and technology, to be so blind. I wanted to see for myself, I didn't want to let the others dictate my opinion to me.

They were right. I suppose it was stupid of me to simply wander into a city in full daylight, but I was young and clueless. The first human I met was a small boy, about the same age as I was. I'll admit that, as much as I hate humans, I liked that boy. He was unafraid; he laughed as he stroked my fur. It was a nice feeling that I'm willing to bet few others have felt.

Then what I can only presume to be his mother saw me. Rayquaza's fire, you people can scream! She threw something at me and wouldn't stop screaming until I turned and ran. The boy was crying his eyes out.

Maybe you can say that you can't let one bad experience form your opinion on an entire race, but it's one experience I'd rather not repeat. My eardrums have never been the same. Even so, I'm guessing it's more than what the humans who hate us for no reason have done. They assume we have the power to control nature, when a small wind is generally the best we can do. Hardly a terrible disaster, is it?

I'll never understand humans. They'll never understand us. Neither is willing to make the effort when simply hating each other is so much easier. But if there's one thing an Absol is, it's a survivor. The humans will have to put up with us for a while, because we're not going anywhere.

On the plus side, if humans are wiped out by a horrible natural disaster that we miraculously survive, we can take credit for it.

-FIN-

Rarg. Absol don't like no stinkin' humans.

Remember: Every time you don't review, somewhere in the world a Rose-chan gets sad. You don't want that, do you? (C'mon, I even made this non-pitifully short like it was before. By all rights those last five paragraphs and the end sentence shouldn't exist. You owe me, pal. And hell, I still have those pictures).
