Why me?!

My steps were heavy, mud clung to my feet as I walked. Why me?! I thought back on this disastrous day. Was it worth living life with this pain? Why was I destined for this? Why me?!

I stopped and looked up. On a big old tree there hung a long branch across the dirt road. A thick, long vine entwined itself around the branch. I imagined a Combusken wrapping the vine around his neck and jumping down...

That Combusken was me. I jumped up the tree effortlessly and picked up the vine. Why not?!

So why am I doing this? Usually I'm against suicide, it was weak to commit such an act! To this point I still thought about that but after the event, I couldn't help but feel weak. But why? Last week...

*A week earlier*

"Congratulations sweetie!" My mom said in her soft comforting voice.

I am a Torchic, or more specifically I was one earlier. I've just evolved not two minutes ago and dang it felt good! I smiled, giving my mother a hug.

She was head of the family. Her smile was the sweetest one I've seen. To compliment that smile she wore so often, she was also very beautiful for a Blaziken. I often compared her beauty to that of a goddess. But underneath that sweet demeanor and her beauty lay a powerful Pokemon.

"Now son," my dad said to me hesitantly. My ears perked as I looked towards him.

"On this day we have a surprise just for you!" My mother exclaimed, interrupting my dad. It was a bad habit she had but my father didn't mind it. It might've been for the best.


My parents are complete opposites of each other. My dad isn't a looker. In fact he's a bit fat and not that strong either, which is a product of his laziness. He's just as nice as mom though.

“R-really? What is it?” I asked.

Dad was about to speak, breathing in to answer but was interrupted again.

"Sorry dear but we can't tell you that right now, well not it all. I can tell were going on a little trip!"

A little trip? I thought of the possibilities. Maybe they were giving me my own den? Nah... I was too young for that. Well, I thought I could live alone, but it would still be a bit early for me to leave home. The more time I could spend with my parents the happier I'd be.

"Sweet! So what exactly is going to happen on that trip mom?"

"I can't tell you that, silly."

Time passed slowly the rest of that day. The thought of this surprise wouldn't leave my mind. I kept thinking of what it could be and the fact I had to wait until tomorrow! Really?! Night was approaching, I decided to sleep early so it can be tomorrow quicker. Or at least feel like; the problem is that I grew restless that night. That definitely wasn't the last time I remain sleepless...
