Protagonist centric, inspired by Cantarella and butchered by me.
Behind closed curtains, you wait excitedly. Young, fresh, and new, you can't wait to be on your way. After all, you will be the hero of this story, you're sure of it. The curtains open, and you are thrust into the spotlight. It's your turn to shine.
You make friends, and have a lot of fun with your Pokémon. And then come the bad guys. Here is your time to be the hero, you think. But being a hero isn't all it's cracked up to be.
You stumble across the stage like a drunken ballerina, always rushing, rushing, rushing. Chasing after grunts here, running after somebody's lost Pokémon there, battling your rival, and trashing the competition, pushing your Pokémon too hard, trying to keep up with all the deadlines and the expectations. You don't have time to think things through, like you want to. Stumble across the stage, and everybody's shocked. You were the hero of this story. And heroes don't stumble; don't always have rings around their eyes from lack of sleep.
You glare at your rival, because the spotlight isn't as bright, and they aren't messing up, they don't have to worry about carrying everybody's expatiations on your shoulders. And you wish for things to be that uncomplicated, want the boring life you led back home, even though that was what drove you into this stupid trap of fame.
The song nears its end, and you are the most powerful of them all, the Champion. But you don't want it; don't want all the new responsibilities thrown at you. You're only twelve; you shouldn't have to worry about a million people who were too scared to stand up and had a ten year old pawn deal with everything. You are bitter, and even your Pokémon are frustrated with you. You can't go anywhere without flashing lights and rumors.
The curtain finally closes, and you are a tired wreck, old and useless. As you slump in relief into an empty chair, and deal with the disappointed people, you realize that you would rather be no one than the hero. Let heroes remain only in storybooks and movies, and leave the next unlucky child alone.
