The story of Alice

Her Younger Years

Alice Vilesteed, born a rather happy baby, she was very attached too her parents and their Pokemon. Her mother was beautiful and very kind (besides the fact she was yelled at every now and then, though it was mostly her fault) Her father, Vulgrim, used to be a traveler from what she understood, until he fell in love with her mother. Alice didn't fully understand them but she didn't feel she had too. She was quick to start talking her first word being "Dada" which made the couple happy. Ever since Alice started walking Vulgrim's Vulpix has been at her side, even the few times she fell on him. As her sentences started forming together she started saying little things the couple would think was cute.
  When she was 4, one day her and her father were in the attic, Alice having a of sweets while helping her dad find something. She pointed towards the corner "daddy what's that?" She asked silently. Vulgrim looks over "oh, huh. Seems we have a guest..." A litwik was cowering in the corner shaking a tiny bit. Vulgrim goes over and picks it up "it's a litwik..." He mutters softly, bringing it to Alice. Alice looks at it "hello litwik." She does a small wave, taking out another candy. "L- litwik-" the litwik mutters holding out its hands "no it's mine-" she pulls the bag close too herself. Vulgrim smiles, laughing softly "Alice... You should share, even if it's not what you want, you can make someone else very happy..." He mutters. She stares at her dad silently, before giving the litwik one of her candies, it smiling and eating it "litwik!!" "Dad the litwik said thank you!" Alice having a large grin, "your welcome!" Vulgrim and Alice laughing.
  Alice, age 5, running into the house, the Vulpix she lovingly named "Vulcan" right behind her. "Dad Vulcan says he's hungry!" The mom looking over "Does Vulcan also say if Alice is hungry?" Alice looks at her "momma don't be silly, only I know when I'm hungry. Which I am." She going and sitting beside her father at the breakfast table. "V- Vulpix!" It jumped onto Vulgrim's lap. "Dad he said he wants attention." "Alice honey... Why do you always talk through the Pokemon?" Her mom suddenly asks. "What are you talking about?" Alice looking at them. Vulgrim looks at her "you act like you understand them-" "I do-" "Alice-" "I really do!! Try me try me!!" Vulgrim sighs, but smiles a bit "fine.. Fine.. Then how did me and 'Vulcan' here actually meet?" He questions smiling at the little game she was playing. "He almost burnt down the forest and you saved him from gettin' in trouble!" She smiles at him. Him and his wife freeze up at this, neither of them had told her that. How is this possible?
  Alice, age 6. She's been bring home tons of Pokemon now a days, she always seeming to have a reason why. Vulgrim liked all the company, as long as Alice cared for them. She was going to be starting school in a few months. Today the Pokemon she brought home was a little Shinx, it was curled tight too her stomach, "dad... His trainer left him..." She mutters softly, looking up at him "I found him near a river I think he fell in he's all wet-" she looking extremely worried over the Pokemon she just met. Vulgrim was quick too pick her with the Shinx up, putting them in her room, he warming a towel and blanket in the dryer for a minute before joining them, quick to help dry and warm the little Shinx until it was comfortable and asleep in her arms. "...dad... Who would do this too a Pokemon...?" She questions softly, tears forming in her big round eyes. He sighs, he knew she was going to learn one day... But isn't she too young for this...? He picks up the pair, pulling them close in her arms, she leaning on him to hear his heartbeat silently. "Alice... Not everyone is like us... We understand each Pokemon is different, with feelings, looks, likes, dislikes... So they think it's fine to just do that too a Pokemon... Use them for work and get rid of them if they are found 'useless'" he rubs her head gently, she relaxed in his arms. "and there's no one like you... You can talk with them, understand them, you bring them home.." He sighs softly, and kisses the top of her head "your special Alice..." He mutters, rocking slightly while holding her, she falling asleep in his arms for one of the last times
  Alice, age 7... School starts in a few weeks. "Daddy do you gotta go?" She whimpers watching him put on his shoes on. "I told you before, it's just for work, I'll be back by tomorrow to help you choose new clothes and your backpack..." She runs and hugs his leg "Nooo! Your mine you can't leeeeave!" She complains. He picks her up and hugs her "be a good girl for mommy and I might even get you something special..." Alice smiles some "really??" "Really really..." They hug each other, he putting her down carefully "now, Vulcan!" The Vulpix sits up straight at his name "yea?" His soft voice comes out, Alice still teaching him. "You look after my little girl!" He kneeling down and petting Vulcan, Vulcan jumping into his arms and licking his cheek, Vulgrim hugging him and putting him down. He then walks over to his wife "I'll be back soon, love." He kisses her cheek. "Hurry back... You know Alice doesn't like me as much as you..." He laughs and gives her a gentle kiss "don't be silly... She loves you. And I love you." She stares at him and kisses him softly "I love you.." She mutters silently. He looks back at Alice and Vulcan, going over to them "I love you Alice..." They hug gently "love you daddy..." Vulgrim looks at Vulcan "love you buddy..." "...love you too.." He mutters smiling. Vulgrim leaves, waving his family good bye.
The next day was silent, Alice was on the couch with Vulcan when the sudden knock came. They went silent, watching her mom open the door. There was a police man, he had dark skin and dark hair, through the window Alice noticed a girl in his car who looked a lot like him. "Mrs. Vilesteed, I'm assuming...?" Her mother nods "yes, is there a problem officer...?" He sighs, and holds out a wallet "I'm sorry..." Alice saw her mother tense up and fall onto her knees, she was crying. Alice had to walk over "mister... Why are you making momma cry...?" He looks down at her silently, looking away some. Alice was made to spend the rest of the day in her room.
  Her mother lost her beautiful smile, her warm hugs, the glow in her eyes... All she gained was bottles... Alice lost her father... And what she sees as her mother... Today was her first day of school... "Momma...?" She mutters softly, her mother staying completely silent. "I'm going too school..." She mutters softly, leaving with Vulcan. She sighs, walking to school silently, entering her room alone, Vulcan at her side. The teacher looks at her "Pokemon aren't aloud in the school, I'm sorry." Alice tensed up, "I... I need him.." "He need to stay outside." Alice sighs, stepping out "Vulcan.. Will you be okay...?" "Yea.. I'll be here..." He sighs, going and hiding in a bush. She enters the class again, the teacher introducing their self. Alice sighs, most of the kids her age seemed to know each other... she stays silent, zoning out everything around her, trying not to cry at all the thoughts in her head. Everyone started to introduce themselves, and each had to give a fact. Alice smiled some when it was her time "I- I'm Alice..." She mutters softly "I.. I can talk to Pokemon.." The class laughed, she quick to lose her smile. "You gotta be kidding me, you can't just talk too Pokemon." One girl comments. "B- but-" "Alice, please sit down." The teacher requests. Alice obeys, lowering her head, the kids at her table were whispering and giggling, It was driving her insane... When it came too break time they were all let out too the playground, she going and sitting in the corner near some of the bushes, one of them having Vulcan in it. She whispering too him all alone, the kids noticing her odd behavior. When the bell rang for class too begin again she tried to hurry in, one boy tripping her, making her fall, her jeans getting scraped up. She froze on the ground, she could hear laughter as kids went inside, she slowly following, tears rolling down her face. She walked home after school with Vulcan, she hugging him, making sure her tears don't hit the fire type. She enters the house. Her mom was standing there "Alice Vilesteed where have you been?" She snarled, it reminded Alice of an angry houndoom. "School... We just finished class.." "Your jeans are all ripped, those were new!" "Mom I'm sorry I ju-" "come here!" She wrapped Alice by the wrist, pulling her roughly, Alice dropped Vulcan in the panic, he was quick to run after her. Her mom say in a chair, pulling out a belt that had spikes on it and lifting daughters shirt and hitting the belt down, the spikes digging into her slightly, being dragged across her back, blood trickling down as her daughter screams and cries in pain. Vulcan watches in horror, too small to save the girl.
For the next few weeks this continues, she walks too school, kids would mess with her, she'd come home, she'd get more cuts across her back, she cries the night away. But these few weeks Vulcans been leaving her at school, telling her "I'll be back before school ends" and he always was. Today was different. The kids were awfully mean, pushing her, teasing her, today they had masks of different Pokemon. "Talk to me Alice!" "No, understand me understand me!" They'd laugh as her tears fall, she stepping out of class like normal expecting to see Vulcan, but he wasn't there... "Vulcan?" She calls out. It was silent. She heard the kids behind her talking about who knows what, the ones with masks suddenly coming over "Hey aaaaalice!" "Yea Alice whatcha dooooing?" Alice didn't know what to do... She didn't want too hear them anymore... So she ran, but they ran after. She kept running and running, she didn't know where to go, and she ended up stuck. She was on the edge of a rather steep hill, at the bottom a fast moving river was flowing. She was about to run but she had been surrounded. The kids were all laughing, though slightly out of breath. "Alice, where you gonna go?" One asks. She backs up as they draw near, her foot loosing balance and she tumbling down the hill into the river, only too be swept up by the rushing water.
  Water was filling up her lungs, she taking deep breaths when ever she could struggle too the top. Though she was scared, she wasn't thinking "am I going to die?" All she could think is "this water tastes gross.." She coughing up the water still being dragged. She was shocked when she felt herself be grabbed and pulled out of the water, she gasping for air even when on the ground, puking up some of the water onto the ground. She looks up some, there was a ninetales laying there, all of his fur was wet, he was steaming... "Ah- are you alright?" She moves over, forgetting about herself. She coughing more water away from the Ninetales. "Alice... We're leaving..." She stares at him some, it was Vulcan. "Where can we go...?" She whimpers out. Vulcan slowly stood up, the water still steaming off of him, it defiantly hurting him "I found us a place... We can be safe there... I'll protect you..." He mutters, moving over, and pushing her onto his back, leading them into the forest.
