Y'know, there are times where I get jealous of other pokemon. They all have their own special skills and talents that make them seem so unique. Special. Fighting types can smash through rocks with ease and psychic types can read minds with ease. Water types can breathe underwater and flying types can take to the skies whenever they please. Fire, ice, electric, ground, dragons, ghosts! Their all so special and different with their own weaknesses and advantages, but me? I'm just... normal.

My favorite type, paws down, has to be fairy. Pokemon like sylveon and the ice type ninetails are so elegant and gorgeous. Their strong, yet classy at the same time. Plus, so many pokemon love them. Especially any of the eons. They get all kinds of attention...

I try to be like them. The ones everyone likes. I tried to learn aura, but that obviously failed. I can't wave a stick and make cool stuff come out and no matter how hard I try, my genetic code will always be the same. I can't transform myself. I can't even create the illusion that I am something else! I'm stuck with just being me...

I don't like being me.

At least I wasn't stuck with the short end of the metaphorical stick. Who would cuddle up with a muk or trubbish? I'm not knock off fire/fighting type and I'm definitely am not a floating ice cream cone. Still, they were recognized and given attention, albeit negative. Still, bad publicity is still publicity.

When will it be my day to shine? I want to hear the crowds call my name. I want people to yearn for me like who so many yearn for all those eons and lucarios and braixens and and... and...

Heh. Who am I kidding? Maybe it's better that I remain in this hole of obscurity. I'm not completely forgotten, but does anyone ever really notice when I'm gone? Do the people who recognize that I exist even miss me...?

...

...One day, I'll shine to. 

One day, I'll be one of the brightest stars out there, just like the rest. 

One day, I'll be the best companion anyone could ever dream of having.

Until then, I'll keep going. I'll push through the uncertainty. The despair. The hopelessness and unending fear until I can stand up there and feel the love I know I deserve.
