Chapter 6 - Shedding Feelings
Snivy

"You gave me bad advice! You gave me something to fix this mess, but all it did was make everything even more difficult! I trusted you! I'm never going to take any help from you AGAIN!" After I vented that out, I made my way to the edge of the tree.

"Snivy, I told you to change your personality so you can realize something about yourself."

"I HATE this! If can't change my personality, then I'll go back to my old self! Maybe I'll just run away! I don't want anyone to get hurt again because of me. I'm just a freak in any way I act! Whatever I do after that incident, I just can't get the guilty feeling out of my head. Ok, that settles it. I'm going to secretly run away."

"My, you are very discouraged. Before you go, I want you to do something for me," she said casually.

"I'm not going to do anything you say!"

"Two friends, a Pikachu and Unfezant, are here right now, listening. Now that they know what you're feeling, go talk to them."

"Huh? My friends are-"

"YOU JUST HAD TO GIVE US AWAY, DIDN'T YOU, PIGEON?" shouted a familiar voice.

"Hey, you're the one who dropped that berry. And, like I said, I'm a pheasant. Do I look like a pigeon to you?"

"Well, somewhat, yes."

"You two better get away from me! Go back to Ash and tell him I left. I'm quitting the team."

"No! We aren't letting you do that, Snivy! You're too important to us!" Pikachu argued.

I jumped down and said while stomping out, "How am I important? Ever since I hurt Emolga, nothing seemed to get better. Let's just forget about everything that happened and let me start over from scratch with a different trainer!" I ran as fast as I could, far from the forest.

After ten minutes of nonstop running, I turned around to see if I could spot any familiar faces behind me. No one was there except me.

Then, that was it. I'm no longer Ash's Pokemon. I'm back to being a rogue. Hopefully I find a trainer like him. Perhaps the next team will want to pursue a goal I may be interested in. I sat down next to a small stream. It was perfectly clean and shiny. I went down to drink some.

Emolga will be so much happier with me gone. I was exhausted, so I fell asleep at the spot.

Pikachu

"Stupid bird! If it weren't for you, we would have been able to keep up with Snivy! Instead, you gave us away, and Snivy ran faster than she might've intended! Ugh. You're so reckless."

"Hey, thinking about what is past won't do anything to help. At least I TRIED looking for her, sloth."

"UGH! You know what, I can't believe Leavanny even likes you! You're so- UGH!" I stormed off, not caring about her flying above me. The rest of the way back to the Pokemon Center was silent. Neither of us wanted to say anything, I'm sure.

We made it back to the Center. Oshawott ran up to us immediately.

"PIKACHU, UNFEZANT! We were looking EVERYWHERE for you! What have you been doing? Where in the world is Snivy?" I still couldn't talk. I stomped off to check on Emolga. I heard Oshawott and Unfezant talking.

"What's his problem?"

"Don't mind Pikachu," she spat my name. "We just had some bad disagreements with each other, that's all."

"So... Snivy?"

Unfezant grunted. "I'll tell you when everyone is in the same place. Help me gather them all."


Emolga seemed just fine when I talked to her. She thanked me for telling her about what happened this morning. Somehow, the whole incident changed her mood. She seemed happy to be around all her friends, as she told me. She kept saying she was sorry for taking our food and slaving the others, like Oshawott, to do tasks for her. At least she didn't change so much like Snivy did. Speaking of Snivy, Emolga never said anything about her. It's as if Snivy wasn't real to her.

At dinner, Ash became really worried when Snivy wasn't here. That's when Unfezant made the announcement that Snivy ran away, quit the team. Everyone became silent, and Emolga started hugging herself at the mention of her name. Oshawott broke the silence by crying. Axew and Scraggy stepped in first to try to cheer him up, but even when we tried, he didn't lighten up too well. He looked utterly heartbroken.

Oshawott stayed the rest of the day with Ash. The trainers never understood what had happened, but no one was interested in explaining to them. At night, I stayed as far away as I could from Unfezant when we went to bed. The Pokemon Center was completely open tonight, so we got to use the other rooms. I had to force Ash so we could use the farthest left room, and Unfezant slept in the farthest right room with Oshawott, Pignite, and Leavanny. Our room had the trainers, Pansage, Scraggy, and Axew. Everyone else was in other rooms, but I didn't know who in which. Emolga was back in the healing room... or whatever it was called.

Oshawott came into our room in the middle of the night. He woke me up and asked me if we could go outside to talk. I lead him to the bench directly outside of the building. I was extremely tired, but he obviously needed this talk with me.

"Pikachu, do you think Snivy will be ok? I mean, if she ran away, then she could be caught by another trainer, and Snivy won't be Ash's Pokemon anymore."

"I know, but I don't know what to do. She could be anywhere by now. "

"You think we should tell the trainers tonight? They need to know."

"Yeah, ok. And I assure you that Snivy will be fine. She's old enough and mature enough to make wise decisions. Hopefully some day we'll see her again and possibly in a battle with us if we do." Oshawott was silent for a moment.

"Thanks, Pikachu. I want to tell Ash right away... um, I just want the three of us to go... and Unfezant... and Pignite... yeah."

Great, he wants UNFEZANT to go. Wonderful.

"Heheh, yeah. Ok, then, Let's get going!" I didn't hesitate for Oshawott to respond. I quickly walked back into the building. I slowed down until I felt Oshawott next to me. Then, we both sprinted back to our room. I prodded Ash enough to wake him up quietly.

"What's up, Pikachu? Is Snivy still gone?" I nodded, and I pulled Snivy's and Oshawott's Pokeballs from his bag. "What are you doing?" I demonstrated by returning Oshawott to his ball, facing away from the otter. The beam reversed, and hit me instead. Now I showed him Snivy's, but the button only opened the ball; no flash of light or a red beam.

"What-" Ash mumbled exasperatingly. Just then, I felt Oshawott's strange breathing, and turned around to see that he had started crying again.

We sat there quietly for a while. Ash was staring at Snivy's open Pokeball in his hand. It took me a moment to realize the speck of liquid that ran down his right cheek.

"C'mon, you two. We have to look for Snivy," he said eventually. We left the room and grouped all of his Pokemon. He left Cilan, Iris, and their Pokemon behind while we headed out.
