Dreamverse Stories [Pokémon One-Shots]

It Hurts (2018 Rewrite)

It started when I met a guy and his Pikachu, his yellow eye's so unnatural yet held such determination as he took me in when I was so alone.

Working together was the most fun I had had in my entire life... Petty thieves we were.

But we didn't care.

We would work hard, we become better, we knew what we were doing. The people of Hoenn feared us.

I feared him.

A small robbery.

A small PokéMart in Petalburg City.

But I didn't listen, I didn't do what he asked.

I say I was scared. It's the excuse I tell myself to help me sleep at night.

I lost my drive. I was doubting myself. I let him down.

A gunshot went off.

He dropped to the ground.

I remember his eyes boring into mine with a look of betrayal as the life left his eyes. I didn't listen to him, and it cost him his life.

He told me I was a disgrace. The last words he ever uttered out of his mouth was his disgust for my actions

This happened because of me.

Why didn't I listen to his instructions?!

Why didn't I stay with him?

Wasn't I supposed to love him!?

Lies.

I left Hoenn, people heard of my abandonment of my partner.

Hoenn feared me because I was still alive

Other criminals laughed because I abandoned my so-called partner.

I'm still that same, scared little girl that would be a plaything for men when they were bored or couldn't find a woman to please them.

I went to Kalos, I joined Team Flare and would hide within the lower part of their ranks, trying to stop an admin from getting her or her Pokémon killed.

But she left, she found out a secret I never learned the details of.

She was gone.

Then there was her..... A dark-haired girl with piercing blue eyes, a killer's mentality and a love for watching people suffer a painful death.

But she put me at ease, something about her had me drawn her... I was scared at first, I thought she might kill me, I still don't understand how I was able to convince her otherwise.

I had thought I was done for.

I agreed to go with her to join this mysterious organization of people who seemed to be as ruthless as the girl, I don't understand why but I did.

The battle I was thrown into soon after arriving surprised me, it was difficult but I was able to do it... Only to find the girl who brought me here knocked out on the floor.

I helped her, most people would be glad to see a psychopath like herself in that state and leave her to die.

But I couldn't

I wouldn't.

I would stick by her side until she left me for dead, I didn't care anymore as to what happened to me.

But barely two days later she kissed me.

I never understood why she did it, but I could hardly believe how blissfully happy I was in that moment, no matter how long or short.

I know I love her, I shouldn't but I do.

But then we went on a mission.

Loud screaming, rushing water.

It happened so fast I didn't have a chance to react as I simply watched her fall to her death.

Why does everyone I love die?!

Now all I can do is sit in the room in this underground headquarters, my eye's holding bags under them as I would simply stare off into nothing, my eyes red as a knife would lie on the floor beside me, blood staining the blade, the same blood that seemed to stain the floors and my arms. My head pounded in my head loudly.

I can't bring myself to leave this room.

I can't bring myself to be near my Pokémon.

I can't do anything.

Everyone I love only dies, so why am I here? I'm destined to live a life of death, pain, and hurt.

Maybe I should just drag myself back to my parents and return to the life I was supposed to live.

Or maybe just end it all here.. I'm going to hell anyway, might as well leave on my own terms.

Let someone I care about live a happier life before I let mine seep away.

Jasper.

Aila.

I'll see you soon.
