The Cursed Purrlion

Prologue

Purrloin's POV: 

I can only feel darkness in a small, enclosed space. Then I hear something, something I can't understand but it sooths me. I need to get out of this space. I need to get to this soothing voice. I push, and keep pushing, and eventually, the shell around me breaks and I'm in a nest with another Pokémon. Mommy. This one is Mommy. I just know, somehow. I feel another shell beside me. I know this is my brother, also fighting to get out. I try to help by sinking my tiny claws into the shell, feeling my brother hitting in the same spot. It felt like an eternity, but it was only seconds later that my brother was out of his shell and snuggling up next to me. I felt Mommy's long body curl around us. I'm content with this. I want this moment to last forever. Then another voice comes. I still can't understand it, but it has the same kindness as Mommy. Daddy, I think. I just know these things. I could tell my brother did too. He stretched his little head up towards Daddy and has waving his small paws in that direction. I stayed snuggled against Mommy. I wanted life to be this way forever, laying in this nest of flowers and grass, sunlight on my fur, Mommy and Daddy, me, and my brother all resting here in this place. Everything was perfect here. Of course, I was newly hatched then, so I couldn't have known that life would've been the way it has so far. My innocent, fragile soul thought that everything would always be perfect, that everything would be good, that life didn't have the horrible things I've experienced. But everything happened anyway. I was only nine years old when she was taken by that terrible sickness. Not long after, Daddy went crazy with despair. I finally decided to run away, but I knew my little brother wouldn't leave. So I left during a night of no moon, where my dark purple coat would camouflage me and there was no moonlight to expose me. I had the gift of night vision, a rare skill that few Pokémon of my kind possess. My story doesn't end here, though. I still have more to tell. But that can wait until later. Now, I must sleep. Goodnight.
