I'll Never Be the Same

I feel so alone, in this darkness. But… I feel a sense that this’ll end.

I open my eyes, and the darkness ends. I have tunnel vision. I try to look down, but I couldn't see anything... My neck felt as if it was in some kind of brace. But what I do see... My ribs show through torn skin.

The tunnel vision subsides and I see where I am. I’m on my trainer’s bed, which is covered in blood. The holes in my skin were still bleeding. My trainer’s away, so I try and move my front right paw. I can’t… That leg’s in a cast, so I know that I shouldn’t move it. I tilt my head awkwardly to the side… It burns, though. Now I can see a little clearer what’s around me and what stance I’m stuck in.

I’m lying on my back, my left-front paw trying to hold onto something. I move my left leg stiffly beside me, and then see… A plushie of an Umbreon? I don’t know anymore… My left ear flicks to my pain. But… this pain feels pleasurable. Instead of trying to find out why, I begin to nod off. I keep myself awake until my trainer walks through the door.

“Shade, you’re awake!” My trainer says in an oddly crackling voice. He wasn’t normally like this. Was he making sure… I stayed alive? “Fuck, I thought you were dead…”

My trainer has always been worried about me after what happened with his Flareon. That Flareon… She died from trying to protect me and my trainer. I was still quite young, an Eevee at the time. Ugh, where am I going with this?

I couldn’t move my mouth at all. My jaw started to become numb and horrible… So I just tilted my head backwards. Okay, it’s beginning to hurt… Where am I… No…. Ahh… AAH! It huurts! Whyyy?!

I black out after thinking all that. When I do, I hear a very loud snap. Was that… My neck? While I’m unconscious, I hear a loud screeching noise. It gets higher and louder gradually.

I wake up. I find I’m covered in a reddish, gooey liquid. I see small wounds but the more I look, the more the pattern of wounds looks like… A Sylveon’s face?! That couldn’t be right. Did my trainer gain a Sylveon while I was sleeping? I don’t know, but I want to.

I try to get up, but again, my leg and neck stop me from moving. Damn braces.

Well, fuck, I’m stuck here. So now I don’t know how to get out of here. If I try, I know I’ll fail. So, I just sit tight.

One week later

I finally get this damn cast off. When my trainer leaves the room, I jump down from his bed awkwardly. It’s painful to jump off, but I had to do it or I’d have had to fall off. My neck brace is gone too, so I could move better. I hide in the closet and wait for my trainer to come back.

I sit there for hours and hours, and then he opens the door. He seems shocked that I’m not there, but then he seems to realize that I had healed some. So he shrugs it off and puts on the clean sheets. Then I see something slip through the door.

That thing.. is it a Sylveon or no? I don’t know… But it looks as if it wants to open the door to the closet, so I go further into it.

The door opens. I slip out very quickly, and dash under the bed. My rings glow. That doesn’t help my situation. When I see the Sylveon get closer, and crouch down to see me, I get scared. I look around and see that it got dark. He was sleeping. The Sylveon crawls under the bed, with a sickening grin on it’s face. I look away, but it pulls my head toward it. It forces me to look at its sickening grin.

“I’m afraid you’ve been replaced~” It laughs at me.

I lash out at it but my paw is caught. I feel I’m doomed as it shoves the knife-like bow into my chest. I black out after that, so I can’t remember what else happens.

The next thing I consciously see was it standing over me. I slash at it but it doesn’t work too well, and the next thing I know, I’m thrown out, through the window, and the window shatters and I fall from four stories up. I land in a bush, and hide out there for the night.

I wake up, in some sort of rush even though my legs aren’t moving. Is my trainer doing this, or am I? What’s happening with all this? If I can’t figure out… I don’t know what’ll happen. All I know is that my rear legs hurt like the flames of Hell got onto them.

I wake up from that dream, and face reality. I’ve been replaced. I’m completely worthless now… So I run. I run until I reach a Pokémon Center, to try and get my wounds healed, but they decline me because I don’t have a trainer with me. Assholes. I try to get in multiple times, but all times I tried, failed. So I run out, small droplets of tears streaming down my face. My head burns but I run, trying to find a sanctuary.

Then my trainer sees me, and thinks I’m wild. So it’s a battle. The first thing he sends out? Jolteon. Piece of cake, just hit it with a Payback. Next thing, Flareon. Same difference, just that it doesn’t get a hit on me. The next thing is a Leafeon. Not tough, it's 18 levels lower than my 46. I then see his Espeon come out. Piece of cake, just use Payback. The second to last thing is his Vaporeon. I one-shot it. But his last Pokemon is that Sylveon. I used to be in that slot… So I strike out at it. It loses half its health. It strikes out at me, I fall. It kills itself in the process, so it forces my trainer to run to the Pokémon Center, with me, then he tosses me out.

That might be the last I see of him. He has forced me to leave, not knowing his Sylveon threw me out, just hours before. I’m still covered in cuts and slashes from the window, and I limp to the forest, find a small cavern that nobody’s taken up, and fall asleep.

AUTHOR'S NOTE!
This is a very short Pasta, but it works here, as I couldn't go into much detail.

I hope you like the quality, this, against what you may believe took.... a long time.

I'm a newer writer, as you'll tell.

But I hope this isn't that bad of a read.
