Disclaimer: Sheik Lovin' Rose-chan doesn't own Pokemon and you're a moron if you think she does. Moron.NO ONE EXPECTS ODDISH! Well, you did since I told you last chapter. But if I hadn't told you, you wouldn't expect it.
Come Walk With Me By The MoonlightAah…I love this. Nothing beats a nighttime stroll with the moon at your back and the wind in your leaves. So peaceful, with only the sounds of others like me on their nightly business.
I hum to myself as I scatter my pollen about, joining in with the nocturnal chorus. Ahead of me, further away than I will ever travel, a concrete city glows with neon lights. Are there others like me in the city? Are there well-established paths through the grass that we have travelled for generations? Maybe I'll go there one day to find out. Maybe I'll be captured tomorrow by a human and taken there in his or her travels. Maybe I'll always remain here in my fields. But those are Maybes and What Ifs. For now, there is only the Moon.
I remember seeing it in full for the first time, in a cloudless sky covered in stars. I thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world and I still do. Is there anything in the city that can ever hope to compare with it? I doubt it. But if there is, what would it be? I can't even begin to imagine, but then again I am but a simple and common Oddish.
I am not brave or heroic. I am sure I am not the favourite Pokemon of many human children, when there are more exotic and beautiful ones to be found. Who would have a boring Oddish when a cute little Clefairy or Eevee could be had instead? That's more of a blessing, though, as most passing humans don't take interest in me and I can remain here in peace.
I was once friends with a Nidorina; they are fairly rare in the wild and she was constantly hiding from humans in fear in of being captured, whereas I could boldly wander out on the path and I'd be ignored. She always envied me for my freedom even though she was as wild as I and had every right to live in peace, more so because she had trained hard to evolve. Eventually her luck ran out (blue is not the best colour for camouflage) and I never saw her again. I wonder if she ever made it to the city. I wonder if she can still see the Moon.
Some Oddish say that you can see the future in the stars and in the Lady Moon. I have never seen mine; I have always been lost in the beauty of it all. Perhaps that means I am to wander like this forever. Perhaps only special, chosen ones can see Her message in the soft, white light. Perhaps it doesn't mean anything and they're just making it up. If my future is to just continue on as I am now, I do not think that would be so bad. For I am content and I am happy; I do not seek to unravel the greatest mysteries in life. I do not wish for an amazing adventure which will be told of for generations to come.
For now, there is only the Moon.
-FIN-
X-treme shortness action! However, this inspired an Oddish-based fic I can guarantee I will never finish. So...um...yeah.
Bah…looking at my list of future chapters, I have way too much stuff with 'moon' in the title. Oh well. Deal with it.
Why are all these things being written at ungodly hours? We shall never know.
