The Recolored Pack

"I'm not so much upset about being turned into a Mightyena as I am upset about having these awkward forepaws. They're the only thing keeping me from friendships with normal Pokemon. And I know some humans are nice, like my mother..."
 
"So you do know that you might of killed some people that wouldnt hurt you or any other pokemon. Thats why I am careful of who I kill."
 
"No, I would never do that. The only people I've killed are the ones that threaten me and attempt to capture me for their freak shows. I only kill in self-defense, like you suggest..."
 
OOC: Sorry for the double post.

IC: "Um... Melody, have you ever wished you had a father who loved you for who you were and not just as a nuisance? I'm just wondering..."
 
"Well...ya. Its not a really big issure in my life though." I said happily.
 
I nodded to her.
"It must be tough with both of your parents gone... I should know. I think you and I would make pretty good friends..."
 
"Well, I dont care about my father. My mother is the one you stuck by me. I think we will be good friends to", I said smiling.
 
"I've always thought Ninetales to be simply stunning. Your mother was, or wasn't, recolored? Ninetales are simply beautiful... I met a dark onyx colored one, and she didn't know I existed. I like it better that way, where no one knows I exist. That just means I can't be bothered and driven to kill."
I petted Melody's head lightly. I groaned, retracted my forepaw, and flopped on my belly.
"Jeez, five years of being a Pokemon and I STILL act like I'm human... I'm really sorry..."
 
"My mom wasnt recoloured. I dont really know if I want to be a Ninetales. I dont know why..." I said stareing into the water.
 
"Were either of your parents recolored? It doesn't really matter; never mind. I suppose there is certain logic to staying unevolved: for one you're a much smaller target. Also, you can make people think you're still a pup. I didn't evolve until just three days ago... but it's not important. What's important is that we stay safe from the hunters..."
 
"I dont want people thinking I would be still a pup. Neither of my parents or reletives were recoloured."
 
"I guess staying out of harm's way is easy when your forepaws are a weapon of destruction... but that's beside the point. Staying unevolved takes obvious bravery, so do it if you like..."
 
"Im brave. I am already strong. I would have done anything to save my mom." I said staring at Shadow now.
 
"Wow. Talk about undying love... you must've really loved your mother."
 
"She was my mother! You have to know what it feels like to be loved by someone for your whole life! I would of done anything!"
 
I nodded and smiled.
"Mom... please help me and this brave little pup conquer everything we encounter..."
I whispered every bit except 'brave little pup'. I was showing Melody she had really gotten through to me...
"Don't worry. My mom is in a better place, but she always blesses me spiritually. I'm sure your mother would do the same..."
 
My white chest moved in and out as I breathed. I sighed.
"I know...I can feel her touch in the wind. Sometimes I think I can see her shape in the clouds" I said smiling.
 
"Do you ever think that the clouds are our loved ones looking down upon us? Because that's what my mom taught me to believe... for 5 years I've thought most Pokemon were jerks until I met you. Thank you for helping me understand why my life events happened. I believe my mom did this to open my eyes to the world around me, to show me the world she was trying to protect. I'm a changed being because of her. I used to follow under my dad's rule, but this has really opened my eyes. I'm surprised you didn't run away when you saw my forepaws, because most everyone else, even recolored Pokemon, did. I'm sorry for getting sentimental, but I feel relieved about what's happened to me now."
I scratched at the ground with my claws.
~She must think I'm nuts right now...~ I thought.
 
"Your welcome! My mom always told me to open my eyes, and stop to sniff the flowers around me. I am very happy that I have a blue sky to gaze upon, and flowers to admire. And now... a mother who loved me" I said staring at my reflection in the water.
 
I sighed dreamily.
"I've now got new hope in my life. Now I know not all creatures are mean and stubborn to someone like me. It's times like these I wish an artist were around to capture this moment..."
