Why me? (Pokemon fanfic) Under editing

Chapter 1 ~ Emma Joyce Dragon

Curled beneath the covers of my Piplup covered bedsheets, I let out a small squeak, cuddling my stuffed Teddiursa close. I imagined the tiny toy snuggling close to me, wrapping her delicate paws around me. Flinching, I heard shouting again arise in the other room. My little 5 year old brain couldn't understand why my mummy and daddy were fighting. It scared me a lot; mummy had come home from her business trip only this morning, why were they mad? Mummy sent me to my room when the yelling began and had been going on so long, the moon was now high in the sky.

Again, I flinched when I heard the front door slam and daddy yell some bad words. Pushing back the covers cautiously, I crawled over to the window and watched mummy car glow to life and drive off. I held Crescent closer and squeezed my eyes shut. I listened as daddy walked to the fridge and opened it then closed it again. It was quiet for a while. I just sat in my room hugging my best friend. Then I heard foot steps coming towards my room. I dove back into my little cacoon I had made. Suddenly, daddy came bursting through the door, clutching a bottle in his hand.

He glared at me. "Get out of bed now Emma!" He growled. I knew better than to disobey. I stood up slowly, leaving Crescent under the blankets. I shuffled up to my father, and he rose his hand and slapped my face causing me to take several steps back as I cried in pain.

"Daddy," I whimpered "you're scaring me. It hurt."

"Well you should of thought of that before." He raised his beer bottle above his head and went to bring it down with as much force as he could...

~Emma! Wake up! You're having a nightmare.~

Slowly I opened my eyes and was met by a pair of soft blue ones ones ~Stop scaring me!~ The soft pink Pokémon said.

"I'm sorry Faith," I sighed "I can't help it." Brushing aside my light brown hair, I righted myself into a sitting position.

~It's alright.~ She purred rubbling against me. ~You're okay now.~

Faith had been among my first Pokemon caught, she (although technically genderless) some what resembled a Skitty or Purlion but she had a long skinny tail and large sapphire eyes that, apart from the rest of her body, was pink. She also had huge feet that I have never seen her walk on, since she floated everywhere. The mythical Pokemon had suck me out and followed me for month before she joined my team and I felt more honnoured then ever having my Mew on my Team.

~Do you want to talk about it?~ A more velvety voice asked. "It may help." I looked down at Hope, taking her place on my lap.

She was my starter, well, she was more then that really. Since a young age, I'd suffered from PTSD and horrible anxiety, to the point where I'd needed a Service Pokemon to help me recover. Hope had been given to me as an Eevee by my guardian Claire and she'd helped me recover from the trauma in my past. She was now an Umbreon, having been by my side for 8 years now, her friendship based evolution was bound to happen. Hope was very special for another reason, as an Eevee she had a magnificent silver coat over the chestnut of a regular Eevee and now in her evolved form she doned brilliant blue ring marking that glowed over that of a regular Umbreon's yellow.

"No, I'm fine" I replied to my worried Pokémon.

~Are you sure?~ She asked, looking deeply into my eyes with her amber ones.

With a slight moment of hesitation, I nodded. "Yes. I'm going back to sleep." My Pokémon. although still obviously very much concerned, settled down, cuddling in close to me as they did and let the rocking of the boat settle them. I thought about my dream. I knew it was more than that; it was a memory. I sighed, with every second the boat came closer to where it all happened. My original home, Sinnoh. Eventually I fell back into a dreamless sleep, wondering what would happen in this new region.

So, what do you think? My last book sucked so I deleted it. But I don't know whether or not to continue this one because if no one liked it.
