Your P.O.V.
I slowly drag myself through the hallways. It's been months since I took a pretty bad beating from Matt, and things haven't been great ever since.
Everything got tougher. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep both lives. Matt and G have been on my ass, bringing me into whatever ridiculous mission they're planning. It's a miracle I made to school today.
"Miss (L/N), what should a Trainer do when their Pokémon get frozen in battle?"
I blink once, then twice. The whole class had eyes on me, except for that one kid. I adjust myself on my seat. Arceus, I don't even remember coming to the status conditions class.
"They should use an Ice Heal, Aspear Berry, or a Full Restore. If they don't have one of those items, a Full Heal or Lum Berry should work perfectly" I answer politely. Good thing I have the answers at the top of my head.
"Very good, miss (L/N). Thank you."
The class goes on. I don't remember hearing a single word the teacher said, I just remember being the first one to get out of the classroom. I need a moment for myself and my Pokémon.
The hallways are crowded, it's almost impossible to move. Students are chatting, walking around, preparing themselves for the next class, kissing, fighting, and I'm just staring at my locker. I find it incredible how the world manages to keep moving forward, even if it's falling apart.
I walk towards the school's entrance. There's a pretty sweet spot between the Pokémon Center and the Poké Mart, I love to spend some alone time there.
"Grovyle, Kirlia, and Swablu, please come out!" I throw their Poké Balls in the air, releasing my trusted partners.
My Pokémon stare at me. I can see concern dripping from their eyes, so I sit down next to them and smile.
"It's true that I've been through some tough times, but you've been there for me. And I love you guys for having my back, so..." I quickly grab a paper bag from my backpack. "We're going to have lunch together, yeah? There's Poké Puffs, Poké Beans, some berries and Lemonade for you!"
I arrange everything on top of a picnic towel. They start munching right away. I grab my own lunch and join them.
Grovyle is spitting seeds on a trash can nearby, Kirlia is practicing her meditation, and Swablu is sleeping softly on top of some Leppa Berries. I can't help but smile at their shenanigans. I don't know how Pokémon manage to stay strong for their trainer, but I wish I had the same capability.
My world is crashing. It has been crashing for a few years, but I always managed to keep it together and never break down. Where did that (Y/N) go? She was so strong. I miss her a lot.
I feel something soft land on my cheek. It was Grovyle's head leaf, trying to wipe my tears.
"Sorry, guys. Life has been rough for the last month or so..." I mumble. "Let's change the subject, yeah? Who wants to play tag?!"
I see a smile form on Kirlia's and Grovyle's lips. They start running after each other while I wipe my skirt.
They're so happy. No matter what happens to me, they always will find a way to brighten up my mood.
I have to be strong. Trainers are like parents to their Pokémon. Even though my own parents aren't here, I know they're fighting for me. When they went through tough times, they always made sure to smile at me. I have to do the same for my Pokémon.
I clean our mess and join my Pokémon in their little game.
