Sen Pai
I'm back, baby.
The fire. It had been put out. Carmine slowly got up from her crouched position near the ground. Dusting off the dirt that had managed to stick onto her clothing, the Pokemon Trainer's eyes dashed around the area for a moment, scanning it for any sign of a flame. She didn't want another fi--
There it was. Hurrying over to a tiny little spark that lay under two dry leaves, Carmine stomped on it harshly, the dry leaves crunching under the weight of her foot. A small frown on her lips, Carmine quickly made sure that the fire was out by reaching for her Pokeball. Hesitating at the last moment, Carmine furrowed her eyebrows together slightly and threw the Pokeball.
With a flash of light, a Magikarp lay flopping around in a puddle of water, using its signature move Splash. Not knowing what to do, Carmine's bottom lip trembled as she pointed a shaking hand at the crumbles of leaves by her foot. Gesturing for the Magikarp to use one of his water type moves on it, Carmine let out a frustrated inaudible groan as she pulled at her hair.
He wouldn't listen to her. No, that wasn't the problem. The problem was that she couldn't say anything. Crouching down on her haunches, Carmine hung her head, letting her raven black hair fall in front of her face. How was this even going to work? If Carmine couldn't give any commands or orders, she'd lose each and every Pokemon battle she was challenged to. How could she train Pokemon like this? How would she beat the Elite Four once and for all?
No, she had to do this. This is what the Professor meant, didn't he? She needed to push back! She had to regain that sense of pride she used to have as a child. With a determined look on her face, Carmine's head snapped up to stare intensely at the flopping Magikarp. Maybe she could use mind control? Or get a physic Pokemon to translate her thoughts? No, that was impossible.
Letting out a frustrated sigh, Carmine stood up straight and walked over to the Magikarp stiffly. Taking out her notebook, Carmine scribbled down a few words and showed it to the Fish Pokemon. "Magikarp, use Splash!" The writing said, still as neat as possible. Although, it seemed that the pencil had been pressed harder into the paper, making the words look darker.
It didn't work. The Magikarp continued to flail around, gasping for water. Oh, this was utterly useless. Pokemon can't read! Hugging the notebook to her chest, Carmine shrank back and began to have second thoughts on this whole Pokemon Adventure thing. Maybe she really wasn't meant to be a Pokemon Trainer, Arceus had already given her a sign with the Beedrill, so why try go against the God Pokemon?
Taking her cap off for a moment to run a hand through her hair, Carmine closed her eyes for a moment, taking in the fresh air of the forest. Although the scent of the smoke was still there, Carmine already felt a sense of familiarity. She recalled travelling through this same forest, meeting different kinds of Pokemon. Wasn't this the same forest where she had caught her Beedrill? Well, she was actually a Weedle at that time, but Carmine could still remember it vividly.
She was only ten years old when Carmine first entered this forest.... She was so determined to catch a Pikachu, why did she want a Pikachu in the first place? Carmine couldn't understand her ten year old mind. Chuckling softly, no sound came from Carmine's mouth as her dark eyes fluttered open to stare straight into the giant beady eyes of...of...of...
A WEEDLE!! Carmine jumped back, trying to scream in terror. It was a Weedle! It seemed that Carmine's sudden movements had startled the Pokemon, causing him to bare his tiny sharp little teeth. This made Carmine's complexion pale to the same degree as a ghost. Was she going to die? A Weedle was going to attack her and all she had was a useless Magikarp!
Tears prickling at her eyes, Carmine broke down crying as no sound came from her. The waterworks fell as the Weedle seemed to stare at the Pokemon Trainer in disbelief. How was a human scared of a little Pokemon like him? Carmine wiped the tears from her eyes and stared at the Weedle, her vision still blurry from her crying.
Bug Bite! The Weedle latched itself onto Carmine's arm! Let's just zoom out into game mode:
