"Bad luck Pokémons! Back luck Pokémons! Bad luck Pokémons!"

I… am the bad luck pokemon.

"EEECCK GET AWAY! YOU FILTHY BAD LUCK MONSTER!"

I… am hated wherever I go…

"I lost that battle because you're nothing but a bundle of bad luck! Get out of my sight!"

I've… been abandon so many times…

"This is your fault…! U-rugh…"

Everyone hates me…. And I hate myself just as much…

"Why don't we… be alone together?"

I am.. Grateful to you…

"Bad luck Pokémons! Bad luck Pokémons! Bad luck Pokémons!"

A group of little boys by age eight or seven where in a circle, chanting the same line over and over. In the center of the group was a black bird with a something that looks like a hat. It's tail looked like a black broom, it's yellow beak and red eyes made him look all that more frightening. The bird held up his wing at his face, trying to shield his eyes from the incoming rocks being tossed at him.

The children kept shouting the same line over and over, throwing rocks and laughing at the poor black bird. "Get out of here you bad luck Pokémon! All you do is bring suffering to others!" the bird flinched at a rock hitting his wing. He wanted to fly away, yet with the damage to his wings; it proved to be impossible. At this point all he can do it wait for them to get bored and leave him alone.

He would rather be alone rather than to spend a short time with another trainer who will end up leaving him behind. Blame him for every little negative thing. It wasn't his fault, nothing was his fault. Or well he tries to keep this in mind that is. The children laughed and soon little by little they walked away, leaving the bruised and soft bleeding bird behind. The black bird had his wings over his head and body, trying to shield his face and used his wings to take the hit. When the bird moved, he shrieked out, he didn't know how much it would hurt to move his wings.

It was like little sharp knives poking through his wings, thrusting back and fourth. Oh how it hurt him so. Murkrow tried to get up, he felt his vision blur and his head pulse with dizziness. He couldn't even stand up for a minute, the pain and agony forced him back down to the ground. I… am the bad luck Pokémon. I… will never be loved…

"Oh my! You're hurt!"

That is what I tell myself… all the time… so that… so that…

With bloodshot eyes, the Murkrow turned his attention to the voice. He saw a girl wearing a mask of concern. He felt more at ease that someone would take him to the Pokémon center. After that he would keep roaming until he can find a place to sleep in peace. Where no trainers will capture him and no children will bully him. Where the Pokémons won't shun him. He can hear the girl get closer and panic, he felt her lift him up in the air.

So that when they leave… it won't hurt as much as it should have….

["Do you think he's awake?"]

["Is it really any of our concern?"]

["He is apart of the team now. You can play nice little miss sass."]

These voices… ugh my wings are so sore… are these voices.. Talking about me? Why is it so hard to open my eyes.. Gah…

["Oh! He's moving, I think he's awake."]

["Like it matters. The dumb bird was moronic enough to let those kids brings him to near death."]

["Now what did I say about being nice!?"]

I can hear these voices more clearly now… I feel like I'm laying down… I think.. I think they're talking about me…

["Do you really think she's capable of that?"]

["Finally! Someone here sees the picture~"]

["You're too sassy for your own good. People will want to kill you the more you act like that."]

What were they talking about… I think… I…. team.. Apart… of…wait. WH- ["AT?! TEAM!?"]

Murkrow snapped open his eyes and shoot right up. The first things he saw was three Pokémons. The closest one to him was an white egg looking winged Pokémon. One he can recognized right off the bat. His counterpart, the happiness Pokémon. Togetic. The white Pokémon looked at him with concern, from his movements and eyes the Togetic was clearly male. Murkrow looked in front of him where two other Pokémons where. An Vaporeon who was rubbing her nails on her skin and blowing them cockily. Next to her was an pissed off looking Raichu.

["Aahh!"]

["Pft, if they can even catch me."]

["Grr… cocky little…!"]

Togetic yelp to the sudden shout Murkrow gave, the other two slowly turned their heads towards him. Suddenly he felt his wings start to ache horribly. ["A-Ahhrrhhaag…!"]

The white Pokémon had an exclamation mark over his head. ["Oh! That's right I don't think you should move your wings so much."] he said, trying to help the black bird to sit back down. However the bad luck Pokémon hissed and retracted his wing with pain. The Raichu took a couple steps away from the water type who walked slowly and closer towards the bird. She already wasn't fond of the awaken Pokémon.

She cocked her head to both sides with curiosity. When Murkrow noticed he suddenly felt frozen and odd. He can clearly tell the Vaporeon was female and was most likely the owner of the sassy voice he heard. ["You know, normal Pokémon wake up with an 'morning' not an 'TEAM!' shout."]

The Raichu and Togetic chuckled at her comment. Murkrow gently flinched to her scream since she was close to his face. However, he was now suddenly reminded of why he found the energy to wake up. ["Ah! Well.. I over heard you three talking."]

The Vaporeon was still confused to what he was trying to refer to. ["Riiiight…?"] she moved her neck in a way where she was expecting him to say more. The black bird glance towards his side, noticing he was inside a Pokémon center like he thought he would end up. He felt something odd inside him though. Something in his was restrained and he knew he felt this before he just didn't know where. ["Our trainer captured you by the way."]

Oh… that's what that feeling is. The damn Pokéball restricted my powers…

An smile appeared on Togetic's face as he bounce over to them. As for the water type in front of him, he can see a sly smirk spread across her face. Behind them was the Raichu who was giving the three space not wanting to crowd them. ["That's right! You're apart of the team now."] the bird heard the water type chuckle and trying to contain her laughter. Unlike the other two she had seen the horror on his face when he learned of this. He was captured again. Another trainer, more people to point the fingers at him.

I… was afraid of that…

"EEECCK GET AWAY! YOU FILTHY BAD LUCK MONSTER!"

"Muur!"

The black bird fell on his back harshly. He was just kicked to the side by a women who held her child protectively. He wasn't even doing anything to her, he was just flying passed her when the women suddenly slammed her hand against hi beak and kicked him while he was down. The infant child in her hands started to cry out from his mother's outburst. Murkrow on the other hand felt like crying from the pain.

The woman shivered with utter disgust and kicked a rock over to the bird. "Pokémons like you shouldn't exist. All you do is bring others bad fortune. How could you live with yourself?! Agh!" the women quickly left, leaving the Murkrow hurt by her abuse and words.

Yeah… I asked myself that everyday… .The Murkrow sighed and struggled to get back up on his feets. Flapping his feathers to reach the top on of a tree before some other person starts to bash and trash him around. He took a look around where he was. Obviously he needed to leave fast, it was some daycare and peaceful forest. He will never be accepted in a place like this. Then again, he tried almost everything. Was there any place left to go?

He tried forests, all the Pokémons there shunned him, made his life hell so that he would leave. He tried mountains, despite his lack of ability to survive in a place that, the rock types kept forcing him out. It wasn't like he can do much against them. Lakes was a no, towns and cities were sadly nose. Where can he go, a place where he wouldn't be hated, treated like any less of what he really is. He wasn't strong either, he couldn't defend himself. He was just another bird in the sky that had fallen.

I.. am hated everywhere I go.

"Alright! Now that you're healed up, let's see if we can get those wings working alright Temperance?" An high pigtails blonde young girl smiled brightly down at the Murkrow at her side. Two weeks had passed since Murkrow had to stay in the Pokémon Center to fully recover his wings. There was even a time where the Doctor there had to put metal wings in his bones to help support him when flying. They mentioned if he practice he can fly with a lot of weight on him.

In those two weeks he only seen the rest of the team for a short while, they had all introduce themselves and talked to him a bit. But it was mainly him and the blonde girl for the two weeks. His new trainer and the same one who found him after those kids had thrown rocks at him. He was somewhat grateful to her and he grew fond of her. She was nice and treated him like an real Pokémon she didn't care about his ability to bring bad luck. She just wanted to train together and made sure he was alright.

The name of the girl who saved him was Sencia. "Alright, first you attack Charity, Patience then Diligence, got it?" she snapped her fingers gently in a playful manner. The black bird nodded and flapped his wings to fly up. The name she had given him was Temperance. the Togetic was named Charity, the Vaporeon was Patience and the Raichu was named Diligence. He wondered if she named them by what they lack the most, as for as he knew he was the most greediest person ever.

And the sassy water type was anything but patient. He dive down towards the white Pokémon. Charity gave an happy frown and quickly jumped up, he was so fast it caught him off guard and made him panic. His wing took a wrong slide which made him swiftly turn towards the lake. Patience the Vaporeon raised an eyebrow with an cocky look glued to her face. ["Oh?"] she stared the bird down and quickly vanished into the water with her ability.

Now this, caught the Murkrow way off guard. ["WHAT THE- SHE CAN DO TH-ACK FFFFF!"] with her sudden dodge and overwhelming shock, his wing dipped in the water making his whole body fall right in after some rolling.

"Ahh! Temperance!" Sencia whom wore khaki pants and a loose jacket jolted and widen her eyes. "Patience bring him up!"

She saw the Vaporeon rise up from the lake. She was clearly not happy at all with the order she was given but still dived into the lake to find the drowning bird. The lake was only a bit dirty, she saw the ird struggling to get back up and losing air fast. Quickly she brought her tail around him and helped him back up to the sky. ["If you didn't know an Vaporeon can disappear in the lake then you are one brainless bird."]

["Gah! Coogk!"] Temperance coughed out some water and let the mermaid like Pokémon swim him back to the grass. Sencia dashed to the lake and went on her knees to retrieve the bird back into her arms. "Here, you rest. We'll try that again next time alright?" Murkrow only nodded and tried to dry himself against her clothes.

"I lost that battle because you're nothing but a bundle of bad luck! Get out of my sight!"

The blue flash shattered off the black bird. Murkrow felt chains around his body vanish. He looked around quickly, he was so confused. One moment he was facing against an Jolteon, and the next he was being release by his trainer? You said.. We would get strong… together.. .Murkrow looked down on his legs. The boy with black boy cut hair frowned with rage at the bird. "Do you have anything to say for yourself!?"

The Murkrow stayed silent. It wasn't his fault, he just didn't have enough power to fight back with an electric type. And as for as he remembers his trainer recalled him during the middle of his fight. Why was it his fault they lost? He lowered his head more, his hat like feature covering his face and casting a shadow over his beak. He was in a forest, he knew the moment his trainer turned around he needed to get away from here. No one will accept him, he wondered to himself where did all the other Murkrows went to. Was there a special forest for them? Or an alley way somewhere in a city?

All Murkrow wanted was an trainer who wouldn't blame him for a loss of a battle or a place where he can sleep and not wake up to children throwing rocks at him. The boy turned around and left behind that abandon bird. Why was everyone leaving him? This would be his fifth trainer he was abandon by. He could barely get through the second one, but now he wasn't sure if he can even care anymore about his well being. I've… been abandon so many times…

["This is your fault…! U-rugh…"]]

Patience fell on her stomach, unable to keep her legs from holding her weight. She coughed out, making a few drops of blood spout out. Diligence was frozen, he couldn't move at all very much like Temperance the Murkrow. Charity had ran towards the Vaporeon, he tried to heal her with some berries seeing how none of them new healing moves. He couldn't think about it right now. None of them could fully grasp what happened.

One moment they were having a friendly battle with each other. And the next a landslide took the life of Sencia. Those months of finally belong and the future he wanted had all crumble in front of him. Not only did he know he was back on the streets and being rocks tossed at him. But his trainer, the girl who cared for him. She was no longer of this world. And for once, he willingly took all the blame.

After all if he hadn't been so busy checking his wound Patience gave him, she would have never gave up her own life to save him from the landslide. ["She… she just…"] Diligence stared at the lifeless body of his trainer. All of them by now had tears in their eyes. None of them expected this. The death of their trainer. Every Pokémon loathed the day. When their trainers passes away before they do. And it was even worse to have your trainer die because of you. Patience was used all her strength to dig up Sencia.

She was some what caught in the landslide but didn't perish. With the sadness and rage, all the frustration, the water type couldn't help herself. Diligence a bit blamed Murkrow, Charity didn't want to think about anything right now. He couldn't blame Temperance for something he couldn't think about. He didn't want to think about his friend for years was now not of this world. Patience was the only one ho tried to help Sencia, and she's become greatly wounded because of it.

She shot a glare at Temperance, he didn't blame her at all. It was only natural that she blame him. He blamed himself too.

Everyone hates me…. And I hate myself just as much…

"Why don't we… be alone together?"

The memory of Sencia flashed by his mind. His chicken legs were frozen and rooted in place. His wings were at his side, he was shocked and confused but mainly he was scared. Here was a boy with red hair and dark clothing. Here he was extending his hand out for the bird to grab. Temperance the Murkrow wasn't sure how to react to this. Should he grab the boy's hand? Deep down he knew he was going to suffer from heart break again.

But he just wasn't the type to be alone forever. He always needed someone there. He wanted to take the boy's offer. But he was afraid of getting hurt again. He wasn't sure if he can survive his seventh heartbreak. The day where the boy abandons him, blame him. Or most likely die from his misfortone he brings. And yet a minu-e passed and the redhead didn't not waver. From the earlier conversation he had with some girl on his pokegear. Yes, he was lonely too. Maybe desperate and that is why he was asking for company.

I bring bad luck.. I'll hurt you in some way. And those around you. And yet you still… everything you said just now… do you really not care about my title…? The bad luck I bring to people? Especially to my owners…?

"I need a flying type. And I pick you to help me. If you don't like me that's okay. After my missions are complete and you want to leave… that's okay too."

leave… I don't.. I won't want to leave anymore.. All those trainers before. I never wanted to leave them! They were the ones who left me!…. .Murkrow fought off the memory of Sencia. That was something in the past, with an new owner he can pretend it never happened. Even for a little while. Just for now. This time he had the option of leaving instead of having the boy leave him. He can avoid an heartbreak easily with this trainer. For a little while, for one last time. I… will join you…

Temperance placed his wing on top of the redhead's palm. The boy was a bit taken back but nodded a bit, looking awkward and reached into his pocket for a Pokéball. "Um.. Would you want a nickname?"

Temperance looked down. He can still hear Sencia's voice calling his name she gave him. He was lying to himself when he said he could forget her. He never will and honestly he never wanted to. Getting a new name felt like he was betraying her somehow. He looked up at the boy and shook his head. He didn't want a nickname. He would be fine being called Murkrow. In his mind and heart, in his very soul he will slowly discard the life and name he had of Temperance. And start anew. Heal himself and leave to live alone for the rest of his years. "Alright then…"

Murkrow snuck a glance, what he didn't know was that he would be spending the rest of his years with this boy in front of him. The boy who went by the name Silver.

I am.. Grateful to you…

["Is it bad to be disappointed?"]

["I don't think so but it's rude to say it out loud…"]

["He's so puny, ahaha, how is he suppose to carry Silver?"]

An Seadra. An Sneasel. An Snubull. This was the new team he now belonged to. The Seadra seemed to be the leader of the group, the Sneasel rarely left Silver's side, and the Snubull was sort of hanging around the base. He came to the conclusion that all water types are rude sassy witches. Murkrow sighed and flew up to a higher rock away from the other team members.

He was in some cave hidden by a waterfall. Apparently this is where his owner was staying. He had no family or anything. He would feel somewhat bad if he left the kid. But he had too it was him he leave Silver or Silver leave him. ["What's up with him?"] the female Seadra scoffed and moved on to one of the Dragonairs nearby. Sneasel tilted his head and jumped on the rocks to get close with the bird.

["You're not very talkative are you?"] he asked. He was small and tiny, he clung onto Silver like no tomorrow. But despite that he had see the little weasel take down an Dragonite. He knew from the start he shouldn't piss of the Pokémon off seeing how he was the closet with the redhead.

Murkrow shrugged his wings. ["I don't have anything to say."]

The Sneasel hummed to himself and took out a couple berries. He handed one to the bird and out of respect he took it. ["Then tell me what you did before you met us."]

This irked the black bird. He tried to ignore the image of Sencia incoming in his mind. ["My past is over. It's not of importance."]

["Ahah.."] Sneasel chuckled and took a bite out of the berry before standing up. Murkrow sighed gently. What the black weasel said next surprised him, making him feel happy and yet scared. ["I think you'll fit right in. Welcome to the Team, Murkrow."]

I am the bad luck Pokémon. I have blood on my wings. I bring pain to others. Everyone hates me. And I hate myself. But all that doesn't matter when it comes to you. And for that, I am grateful. It truly was less lonely to be alone together….
