A/N I was inspired to write this as a nod to Cubones everywhere after seeing the above image. This image is actually on a Pokemon card. It's so sad....


The moon rose steadily over the campsite where a train with all her pokemon were sleeping. Well, almost all of them. Cubone found he could not sleep, despite all his efforts. He just kept staring at the beautiful moon, and thinking of  his mother. Leaving behind his trainer and fellow teammates, he wandered off into the woods around the camp. He came across a clearing where the light of the moon shone pure and clear on a large, flat rock in the center of the glade. Cubone trotted over to the rock and placed his boneclub on top of it first, since it was taller than him, before reaching up to grab the edge and clambering up. There he sat, staring at the moon and thinking of his mother. He held his club like a child holds a teddy bear and cried into his skull. He thought of the warm sun and warm hugs. He wished his mother was with him. He missed her very much.

He did not know how long he had been sitting there when he heard his trainer's voice calling, "Cubone! Where are you Cubone?" She wandered into the glade moments later.

Not wanting to seem weak, Cubone brushed away his tears and took a tough pose. But his trainer saw through it. "Oh, Cubone..." She sat on the rock next to him and pulled him into her lap, wrapping her arms around him like he was a teddy bear. Cubone relaxed, and thought to himself, Mother is right here with me.
