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}

But even with superhuman powers his life is constantly in danger. Can he save himself and stop himself from hurting people? Or will he succumb to his powers and lose himself?
