My scars

My birthday present

My name is Izumi. I have soft looking lilac hair and emerald colored eyes. My parents, are looking for me again. I hid in the basement, making sure not to get stuck in one of the weird spots in our home. My mother, Asai and my father Yuu, are world known pokemon trainers, yet they treat me like I don't exist. My only friend is a cleffa named star who clings to me when I'm upset. I caught her a few years back but that only seem to disappoint my parents. I was six at the time, naïve to the world. Now that I'm 11, I feel like I can change my life. Star is hugging my face, I slip into a smile but it slowly fades when my mom's ursaring growls at me, causing me to shiver.
Good job, boog~ says my mom, hugging her ursaring that smiles at her, feeling jealous of boog was harsh, but I always wanted my moms approval.
Mom- I felt a pull at my hair when I said it, causing me to cry out in pain.
Honey, don't ever call me mom. She said in a honey sweetened tone. As she said that she threw me across the room, as my back hit a cabinet. When I did, pieces of glass stuck to my back, making me wince in pain. Star, ran over to me and glared at my mom, making her laugh evilly.
Oh, is your pathetic Pokemon gonna protect you? Mocked my mom, looking at me in displeasing manner.
Clef! Cleeeeffffaaaa! Shouted star almost double slapping my mom. My mom grabbed cleffa and threw her, even though I was in pain, I caught Star with my arms as I was able to sort of run to catch her. Suddenly, I faded into darkness and pain took over me.

I slowly awakened to a chirping Pokemon knowing my mother sets up for me to awaken at that time when it chirps. Sighing, I stiffly walk into the bathroom to take a shower, while I notice star is missing. Feeling a sudden urge to seek my mom, I get out quickly and put on my leggings that are pure white and a band tee that says panic! At the disco on it. Soon I got dressed, I hear stars voice echoing through my walls, running downstairs, I see my mom trying to kill star!
Though I had no voice for the terrible sight I saw, I managed to stop my jelly legs, and tackle my mom as hard as I could. When I landed on her, the knife was safely away from her, I got up and grabbed star, who was bleeding heavily from small cuts all over her body. She weakly smiled at me, as tears gathered in my eyes. I ran towards the Pokemon center as fast as my legs could take me. Soon enough, I reached it and went to the front desk asking for nurse joy.
Soon a pale pink haired woman, came in with a Chansey and took star as soon she saw it giving me a friendly smile I knew she was in good hands.
Minutes later, after I walked around the lobby and talked amongst some of the newer Pokemon trainers, I learned a few more things and kept my facade I was putting up. Soon, I saw star coming towards me with a pokeball in its stubby arms. Confused, I went to my knees and took it and out popped a pokemon that would change my life and start a new journey for me, forever.
