Oh, I wish I lived a fairytale. And not because I want to have my own handsome prince, not because I want to have a fancy little dress and ride in one of those beautiful pumpkin carriages. I really, truly wished I lived a fairytale because if I did, I would've had a happy ending. 'Cause you know, Serenarella got married to Prince Calem Charming, and Ash Ketchum finally became a Pokemon master, and they said those things weren't possible, but they happened anyway. And I'm jealous, so, so mournfully jealous, that those miracles don't happen with me. I miss you. I want you back, Cinder. I didn't realize it before, but... but I love you. And I'm sorry for everything I did wrong, for everything I thought I did right, for counting the stars that didn't shine and ignoring the ones that did. Will... will you please be my Pokemon again? //pokemon one-shot [5th in one-shot category of the 2016 PKMNWatties]

Lillipup's life revolved around a room in the pound. Having lost all hope, he forlornly awaits the day when he finally rests in peace, knowing that no Trainer would want to adopt a useless creature like him. But after being stolen by a strong-willed teenager, Lillipup realizes that he shouldn't have given up so easily. Overjoyed at the prospect of being taken care of, he relishes every single moment he has with his Trainer, promising Arceus that he would protect her at all costs. He would never leave her side. Even if it meant leading him to his death. •••

Virizion finds Sparky a day later and shows her the wondrous Rumination Haven, where abandoned Pokemon band together to help each other. Six months after the event, Sparky has grown used to life in the Rumination Haven. She has even made two friends: Wings the Butterfree and Shadow the Zorua. But the scar it left on her trust in humans remains. However, when the Rumination Haven is attack and Sparky is separated from her friends, she must learn to trust in humans again, or the Rumination Haven will collapse into chaos.

2015 PKMNWatties Best in Short Story "I remember that moment my siblings all curled up around me, their fur warm and soft, enough to make me sleepy and dreamy. I looked up at them, my little nose sniffling in the cold wind that rushed from the snowstorm happening outside. "You'll never leave me, right? We'll always be together?" I asked quietly, my voice echoing in the silence of the cave. They all stared profoundly at me, their eyes sincere and kind. All eight of them wore genuine smiles as they purred, rubbing themselves against me in a kind of calming manner. At first I worried they didn't hear me, until my eldest brother, the Alpha of our pack, Jolteon, came closer to me, pushing my little body closer to his. "There'll never be a moment with even a single Eeveelution short." I nestled closer to the safety of my brothers and sisters, my eyes just about shut in the warm company of my family. There was no way to predict what would happen in the future. There was no possible telling we would be together forever as a pack. But despite it all, I believed him. There was nine of us. And that's how it would always be. Or so I thought. You could never imagine how fast a promise could be broken. How quickly you could be pierced. And worse than it all, despite the long, painful years you wait, how some wounds never heal." ----- ~Cover by @AllHailRempire! It's literally the best cover I've seen in my entire life O: THANKS SO MUCH!~

No one loves us. No one understands us. No one cares about us. All we have is each other... Because we're undesirable. A young girl named Hiromi Avaron saves a Magikarp one day from some cruel kids on the beach, and they become unlikely friends. All they have is one another, strengthening their bond. Both girl and Pokemon go through a self transformation, and they fill the hole in each other's empty heart. In this short story, an ugly caterpillar becomes a beautiful butterfly. And a "weak" Pokemon will be no longer undesirable... Because at least he's found one girl who will love him. All they have is each other, and they're going to stick together through the very end. Even though that they're considered undesirable... That won't stop them from giving up hope. They still hope that one day they will be accepted for who they are. But in reality, they already were accepted. By each other. {Cover art was edited by me. I own everything in this book except for Pokemon}
