Dear Diary:
Oak gave me this notebook to write on when I feel down or stressed.
I don't know why he would give me something like this; I don't write often and never really...
...Okay, I see why he gave this to me now...
...Moving on, I guess I'll start by talking about what's happened so far since my migration into the Ketchum family.
It's...overwhelming, I'm not gonna lie...
I met some pretty...unique Pokémon, one of which is currently resting on my body(though it's getting a little uncomfortable...).
I have a pretty cool stepbrother and a very loving mother.
For the most part, I'm happy with how my life has changed—I can actually DO stuff now, and I have a family that cares for me!
That being said, it's not like my happiness would last...
A few weeks ago, my father found me walking back to my new home, and he beat me pretty badly...
I recovered and came back home, and even then, even crazier stuff happened...
Some god apparently wants something to do with me—his name was Arceus, I think...?
What's more crazier is that he's apparently my true father...
Regardless, I'm confused on how to think of it.
I'll have to ponder on it, right now, though...I'm too tired to really care.
At least, I wouldn't say that if I wasn't in the current state I'm in now...
I'm currently in a hospital bed after getting into a fight with some old bullies from school; They probably spotted me when I was walking into Pallet Town...
I'm not too hurt—at least not as bad as when my father beat me back then...
...It still hurts like hell, though.
...
I'm...tired of being reminded of my past like this.
You'd think after finally escaping that hellscape I dare to call home, I wouldn't face anything like this...right...?
Guess I was wrong...and I'm scared that there's more to come.
At least there's people to comfort me this time...and Pokémon, of course...
I think that's enough writing for now; Any more talking about this, and I might faint from exhaustion...
I won't lie and say this didn't help, though...
...Maybe I should write more.
Amari recollects his thoughts in the form of writing.

Another mini-chapter, this time just a way to summarize the events in the past chapters, in Amari's POV, of course.
