The Charmander

The Charmander

The charmander lay curled within it’s egg, it’s tail just unnoticeably lit. It could feel the warmth of the Pokemon near it, and the gentle tremors from whatever was holding it. The charmanders tail soon lit more and more, it’s eye opening as the shell began to soften and crack. Soon the egg burst and the little charmander lay there, rubbing it’s adjusting eyes. Soon it’s vision came to, and it looked up at its holder. The trainer appeared before him, with a sad look on her face. For a moment the charmander observed his trainer, her hair bobbed and outfit a purple color. The charmander was ready to smile but finally noticed it’s trainers look was that of disappointment…. The little charmander frowned as well, in a mimic… But once the trainer sat him in her bikes basket and road on, it knew something was wrong.

The little charmander shut it’s eyes as the air gently flowed around itself.

"The charmander is another normal male, a quiet nature. Still just a normal colored one… Best out him with the others."

His trainer spoke to the other Pokemon behind her on the bike. It was a flaming bird. Distracted only for a moment before the charmander realized what his trainer said. He was a boy… But… Others? What did she mean by that?

Soon the trainer stopped on the bike, and climbed off. She took the charmander from the basket and walked into a building. The charmander looked around curiously, wondering what was going on. He had no idea what this place was, it had a warmth to it… But in some spots it seemed cold, especially where they walked to… A large device with a big screen.

The charmander looked at the screen, seeing some orange blurs on it, he didn’t understand it at all. He had no idea what was going on, but the trainer knew… She looked at him sadly, before setting him down. She turned to a keynotes and clicked a button. Suddenly a strange feeling went over the charmander, and he digitized, vanishing into the computer.

Once he came to, the charmander opened his eyes, he was surrounded by a whole bunch of others, just like him. Charmander that were just walking around wondering what was going on. The charmander looked up and saw his trainers face above, still frowning. He wanted to be held by her, maybe comfort her, so he reached up toward her. Then… The vision above vanished…

The charmander frowned and looked around, now lost in the sea of charmander. Others stepped on his tail and bumped into him by accident. Quickly the charmander secluded held in a corner, alone and away from the others… How exactly did he get here and why… All he could think of was the sadness of his trainer, he wanted to see her happy… But she was gone. He didn’t know what else to do, so he just lay there, waiting for his trainer to come back.

A few days passed and finally the screen turns back on, and his trainers face was seen again. His eyes widened and he stood up, calling out to her. She didn’t see him, all she saw was charmander all around. The charmander saw others come in where he appeared, but he ignored it and continued trying to get his trainers attention … But he failed… Yet again the disappointed trainer vanished again. Saddened the charmander looked away… But… He did not wanna give up… Soon he pushed through the crowds of charmander, working his way to the center.

Other charmander pushed him away or just stood in his way. Determined and ready to go, the charmander growled, pushing the others back away. Some started a fight with him, and he fought back, flames bursting about from the little fighters, the charmander succeeded against the others, making them move away in retreat. The charmander was now in the center, others away from him, he would sure be noticed.

Hours pass… His trainer still didn’t show up. Others tried to go back near him for space, but he thrashed, making them back away and keeping him his space. He was so determined to get her attention.

Then… The screen turned on again, happy, the charmander stood up, ready to call out. But he didn’t see his trainers face… He saw another… A man in a coat, with strange hair. He looked at the stranger with a glare, but the stranger just looked on in utter surprise. The screen vanished once again, leaving the charmander baffled. Who the heck was that guy? And where was his trainer?! The charmander growled in frustration. He wanted to see his trainer, these other charmander were in his way last time! He stomped, but then the screen turned back on! It was that guy again! Wait… But this time… His trainer was there to! Quickly he called out to her, but she just looked on in awe, around him.

The two people were looking at the sight, but the charmander didn’t care, he just wanted his trainer. The trainer soon lay her eyes on him. He was so excited! She was looking at him! Just then, his body had that weird feeling again.

He faded from the box, and appeared back in the spot he was the day he was put where the other charmander were. He quickly looked around for his trainer, then smiled wide, seeing her in front of him. Quickly , he jumped into her arms. She just held him, like she did before, only now she was smiling. The charmander lay in her arms happily, now content and pleased with his trainers smile. But… He blinked, noticing his trainer handing him over to the other person!

The charmander growled and struggled , he looked back at his trainer as the other person took him away… What was happening? This person was taking him away from her! He couldn’t let this happen , he then bite down on the man, causing him to yelp and drop the charmander. Quickly the charmander scurried to his trainer clinging to her leg and was not going to let her go.

The man just smiled and walked over to his trainer. The charmander growled up at him, and the two seemed to discuss something… Then, his trainer scooped her charmander up. She spoke to him. “Alright little guy. You may not be shiny, but your personality sure is.” He didn’t understand her, but he smiled and hugged her tightly. The man spoke again before the trainer and her charmander left. The two ventured out and about, creating a strong bond with each other, and defeating every Pokemon that stood in their way.
