"Past Opinion"

I started my pokemon training adventure when I was 11 years old. my starter was Cyndaquil and I started off in the Johoto Region. my team before all the events went down was Typhlosion, Rotom, Mightyena and Lucario. I was walking down a road in the region of Hoenn when an Absol appeared. I heard that Absols warn people about potential dangers so I began to prepare for any kind of disaster but nothing happened. The Absol slowly walked up to me until it was about half a foot away. I looked into its eyes, its beautiful crimson eyes looking back at mine. it said its name and rubbed the side of its head against its the side of my leg. I was very surprised and somewhat charmed by this. i always thought that Absols were cute so i rubbed its chin. I just so happened to have a great ball on hand. I tapped the pokemon with the front of the ball and it got in the pokeball with out question. I was ecstatic. "Did I just get a rare Hoenn pokemon that easily!?" I asked my self. Now you may think that this is a start of a bond between me and that Absol but that was not the case at that time, sadly. I ran into a wild Delcatty. so I threw out my Absol to face it. "Absol, use dream eater!!" the Delcatty was asleep. "Now, use psycho cut!" it missed, "again!" again, it missed the attack. "What the...." we fled from the battle. I thought nothing of it, seeing as how it was my first time training it. weeks of training later and the Absol was still failing at hitting any pokemon half of the time. I was getting really angry at the Absol. The next day, we ran into a wild electrike. "Absol, night slash!" again, the attack missed. "useless piece of crap" I said under my breath. we fled from the battle. "Absol, return!" I said. I walked to a forest ready to release the Absol. I let the pokemon out of the ball, put the pokeball back into by bag and walked away. It followed me. I ran out of the forest and luckily it didn't follow me. 2 years went by and I beat the Hoenn league. getting ready to leave the Hoeen Region, I thought about the Absol I left years ago. I felt ashamed and guilty. and i'll admit, I was crying. "I... I should of given you a second chance. I'm sorry absol!" I said while sobbing. I was so sad that I wanted to go out and look for it. so, I got my bag together and headed out to the forest where I released it. The more I looked at Absol's Great ball, the more sad I got. Hours later I was in a cave. Right when I was about to give up, I saw a cave with a dim light emitting from the entrance, "I'm such an idiot, how the hell did I miss that!?" I walked in and gasped. sitting right by the fire, was an Absol, not any Absol, but my Absol. I said " Hey.. It's me Tanner" I said, trying to hold back tears. It looked up and turned around. I then noticed its fur was mangled and its horn was bleeding a little and one of its claws was missing. That was what set me off, I started sobbing again. "Hey Absol, its me. Remember me?" I asked. its face looked frightened, sad and angry. "I'm such an asshole. this was all my fault and I couldn't blame the Absol for being angry at me" I thought to my self. I got Absol's great ball out and said "see Absol? this is your pokeball. you remember?" I asked. The Absol continued to stare at me. Its eyes became watery and it began to cry loudly. I walked up to it and crouched down until my face was matching hight to his. I gently stroked its soft fur and said "Absol, I'm really sorry for leaving you, It wont happen again, I promise" I said while sobbing. The Absol proceeded to rub the top of its head against my chest. I hugged the Absol. I was still crying. I got up and got picked up the great ball. I tapped the Absol with the pokeball. After he was in his pokeball, I walked out of the cave and returned to my house. I hope this makes you realize that no matter what kind of pokemon you're training, if you train it for a considerable amount of time, your pokemon will form a bond with you. if that bond is broken, you may never see that pokemon again.
