The Snow is Red
The Snow is Red
It’s difficult to focus on anything else
I lean down and bury my muzzle into the snow
The pain from my broken fangs makes me hesitate but I take in a mouth full
I look back to my trainer laying face down in a field of white
My only wish is that I still had the strength to turn him
I’m so tired that it’s difficult to keep my eyelids open
I’ve hatched
My parents gaze at me with a critical eye
I try to move to my Mightyena mother’s side to feed
She pushes me aside and walks away
I whimper and cry loudly for her but she doesn’t return
I look to my father who looks back with teary eyes
He turns slowly and follows my mother with his head down
Its dark now but the forest is full of terrifying noises
I’m frightened and alone shivering from the cold
What have I done wrong
My eyes open and the snow is still red
The snow in my mouth has melted and is warm
How long was I out
Minutes or Hours
It doesn’t matter
My trainer still lays face down in the snow
He needs to keep hydrated if he is to stay alive
I move to my trainer’s side and I press my muzzle to his lips
I flick my tongue to give him the water he needs
My eyes grow heavy again
I’m in the fields of Hoenn being chased by a Raticate
I call out futilely for my mother and father
They do not answer and the hunter gains
I turn quickly and take shelter in the grass
The Raticate pauses and looks for me
I haven’t slept or eaten since born
I’m so tired and don’t know how to fight
The grass rustles loudly in the distance
The Raticate swiftly disappears
My eyes open and the red has faded
My face is wet from a bombardment of snowflakes
Its night and the mountain storm is growing worse
I see an overhang and grip my trainers coat by the frayed shoulder
I don’t have the strength to move him anymore
I try to howl for help
A sting deep in my throat keeps me from succeeding
I lay my body over him and bring my cheek to his
The snow quickly begins to cover us
I close my eyes
The rustle in the grass grows closer
I can’t help but whimper loudly
I hear two voices in the distance
A cocky sounding female and a younger male
The voices grow louder
My heart races and I suppress the urge to cry out
The rustles are right next to me now
The voices feel deafening
My eyes open and the red is gone
My trainer and I are nearly buried
The storm has passed and sky is blue again
I try to stand and stumble back down over my trainer
I push myself sideways to clear the snow and look over the mountains edge
In the distant haze I can make out smoke
A town maybe
I contemplate traveling down the mountain for help
I’m startled by a low groan from my trainer
He’s shivering violently and trying to curl into a ball
I move back over to him and lay my body over his once more
I will not abandon him
The voices are deafening
The girl is berating her friend who looks down into the grass
I feel my heart stop when his gaze seems to pass over mine
I’m panicking and decide to try and flee
I hear the female let out an elated laugh
I suddenly feel my body freeze knowing I’ve been spotted
She raises her arm making ready to throw something
My eyes fall to the boy and his eyes on me
He yells and shoves the girl over
They argue while I try to make an escape
I stumble and find I can longer move
Someone is approaching behind me
Its night again and I can see nothing
The howl of another storm grows louder
I can feel the snows chill biting into my face
I push the snow we are buried in into a wall
It offers some relief but my trainer no longer moves under me
I whimper and press my nose to his cheek
He is still breathing but it is so shallow
I know my trainer will not survive much longer
I don’t feel sadness but rage
Rage at the world
Rage at myself
Rage at what I had done to get him into this state
I plant my feet into the snow and ignore the pain
I let loose a deafening howl which would shake the world
I suddenly collapse
I turn my head and see the boy approaching
The female stomps away loudly into the distance
I turn my attention back to the boy
His eye is swollen and he is sniffling
My instinct tells me to run but I cannot
Our eyes meet and I feel like I’ve met a kindred spirit
I no longer feel afraid as he scoops me up in his arms
He pulls something blue from his pack and wraps me up in it
For the first time in my life I feel safe and loved
I allow myself to slip into unconsciousness
I can’t open my eyes anymore but I’m awake
My trainer and I are now completely buried
I want to cry so badly but my ducts are frozen
I can feel my trainer under me but he’s so cold
Why can’t I save him
I’m walking through a zoo by my trainer’s side
I’m proud to call him that even if nobody else agrees
He’s not a fighter or badge seeker
He’s never really trained me in anything or gone on any journeys
He doesn’t even own a single Pokéball to his name
And gods how I do love him for that
Life is hard and he has very little money
I do what I can to help him but I find he cares more about me
Today is my birthday
I’m 4 years old now to the day and my trainer is now a teenager
As we stride through the zoo he picks me up and drapes me over his shoulder
I lick his cheek and nuzzle his nose to show how much I appreciate it
We both smile but something is going wrong
How long has it been now
Is my trainer even alive anymore
And what is that loud rhythmic noise above us
I hear yelling over that deafening whirring
There is a hum and loud crunching in the snow nearby
Have we been found
Why are they walking away from us
We are here
WE ARE HERE
I desperately want to bark it but it’s so hard to breathe
My ears flick and I hear the snapping of metal
I push myself from my trainer’s neck and take up position in front of him instinctively
A Mankey has broken loose and is tearing the zoo apart
He is shouting incoherent ramblings not even I can understand
His long captivity has driven him mad and he wants revenge
People and Pokémon fly through the air like toys thrown by a tantruming child
The Mankey knocks me aside just as easily and approaches my trainer
I feel so helpless but I push myself to stand
As the Mankey raises his arms above his head I feel something change in me
I’m barking now uncontrollably
I can’t even understand how I’ve managed it
The yelling and crunching of snow is growing so close
I feel the snow being pulled away from my back
I’m being hoisted into the air
A comforting voice is telling me to hold on as I’m placed in a basket
I’m still barking and I can’t stop
What of my trainer
Is he alive
Is he dead
Please someone tell me
The Mankey appears smaller now
I swiftly move myself between him and my trainer
I growl loudly in a voice which is not my own
The Mankey still approaches
I growl louder
You will not touch him
I’m flying now
Least that’s what it feels like
I feel warm water being poured over my eyes
I can suddenly open them again
There’s a mask on my face and a man is forcefully holding it down
I struggle and try to pull away to look for my trainer
The man yells and another in a helmet helps subdue me
Nurse Joy is here and berates them immediately
They ease up on me and look ashamed
I felt kind of smug that we females have such power over men
Nurse joy is placing her hands over my cheeks
She’s so warm but why is she trying to guide my head
MY TRAINER
The moment I see him alive I begin to struggle again
I feel a pinch on my shoulder
Suddenly everything is going black
It’s the day before Christmas Eve
My trainer and I have grown to hate this time of year
We are on some talk show being questioned by the host
I don’t pay attention
All I can focus on is the stupid outfit I’ve been made to wear
I tug at the pom pom to pull the itchy red hat from my head
My trainer picks it up and strokes my head
I murr contently and lick his palm
I could tell my trainer is uncomfortable with all the attention
I can’t say I blame him
His parents sold the rights of the zoo incident to a book company
Every year since we’ve been forced to do things like this
Right now my trainer is being asked about the movie being made based on the book
Neither he nor I know the answers
The radio announcer calls for a five minute break
I lay my head over my trainers thigh and whine
He smiles and leans down giving my forehead a kiss
We both missed things the way they were
Life was so much simpler when it was just the two of us
I look to my outfit
It is red
I spasm in pain and push the men away
Nurse Joy and the others don’t know what to make of it
She reaches for another tranquilizer and I growl at her menacingly
My trainer has never left my side throughout my entire life
I wasn’t going to allow them to force me to leave his
The men are trying to rush me
Nurse Joy tells them to stay back as limp over to my trainer’s stretcher
I stumble trying to climb into it and feel a hand at my back
I snap instinctively only to see it was Nurse Joy’s hand
I am ashamed but she tells me it’ll be alright
She helps me lift myself to my trainer’s side
There’s another pinch at my shoulder
I don’t resist
Its a mild December morning
My trainer is already awake as I stretch myself at the end of the bed
He looks to be contemplating something
I walk over to him and nose his cheek
He smiles and kisses me on the forehead
I murr and tilt my head wondering what’s on his mind
The maid brings in breakfast and we both roll our eyes
We really enjoyed things better when it was just the two of us
The simpler times
We eat breakfast together regardless
The maid scolds my trainer when he slips me a piece of his steak
I want to growl at her but my trainer stops me
I’m laying in a hospital bed
From the look of the room it looks to be intensive care
The rhythmic beeping nearby draws my attention
My trainer lays in a bed next to me
His face and fingers are wrapped in gauss
I want to go over to him but cannot move
They’ve strapped me down to my bed
Why
I’m freighted and cold
I let out a shrilling howl
I’m alone even if my trainer is right there
I need to be by his side
I need to hear his voice
A Chansey sneaks up on me and I feel that familiar pinch
Not again
My trainer is filling his backpack
I’m excited as it can only mean one thing
We were escaping
He puts on his coat and boots and pats me on the head
The mischievous smile on his face is accented by a backwards press of a finger to his lips
Mums the word he says to me
I bring my paw to my muzzle and try not to laugh
We sneak out the backdoor around noon
Walking towards the route at the end of town there is a commotion
I look sad as a bunch of fans ask for my trainers autograph
He reaches for a notebook and holds it in his hand staring at me
After a moment he shakes his head and hands it back
The fan looks disappointed but gives him a bow
My trainer is contemplating something again
My lungs burn and something is pressing at my throat
Why can’t I open my eyes and what is that bellowing noise
My heart is racing and someone is standing next to me
I lick at a hand stroking at my muzzle
It tastes like cotton
It’s my trainer
He must still be wearing the gauss
I’m so happy he’s here
But why is he crying
I lick harder and try to whimper feeling his distress
He cries harder
What is going on
My trainer is taking us up the mountain pass
This time of year it’s certain to be deserted but I feel uneasy
I spot something in the distance blocking our path
I hop up boulders to get a better vantage point
I’ve lost my footing
I’m falling
My trainer catches me but is knocked backwards
Now he’s falling
My heart stops
I hear my trainer’s parents now
Why are they whispering
My trainer is still crying and it’s tearing me up inside
I want to make the pain go away
Why won’t they tell me what’s happening
I feel so weak and I can tell I’m not breathing on my own
Nurse Joy is here now
She’s saying something to my trainer
Why does she whisper
I want to hear
My trainer is crying harder now
I want it to stop
He’s pressing his face against my cheek and hugging me tightly
His eyes are so wet
He’s telling me he loves me
I want to tell him the same
He is the only person I’ve ever known
My closest friend
The father I never had
He repeats his love over and over
I feel suddenly at peace
My mind empties
My trainer lays unconscious a ledge below
I instinctively jump down to him and smash my face against the rocks
Blood trickles from my muzzle as stumble over to him
I nose his side but he does not move
A thunderclap signals an approaching storm
We cannot stay here
I grip my trainer by the shoulder of his coat and beginning dragging him
My cracked teeth break one after the other
I howl for help but only the wind answers
I begin dragging him again ignoring the pain
I am growing weak now
I look to my chest and fall back in surprise
A large stick juts out of my chest and is dripping blood into the snow
How could I have forgotten
I look to the snow now bathed in a long trail of red
I look to my trainer laying face down in the snow
The choice was obvious
I grab his shoulder and continue to drag him
My eyes trail down to the ground
The snow is red
The Snow is Red
It’s difficult to focus on anything else
I lean down and bury my muzzle into the snow
The pain from my broken fangs makes me hesitate but I take in a mouth full
I look back to my trainer laying face down in a field of white
My only wish is that I still had the strength to turn him
I’m so tired that it’s difficult to keep my eyelids open
I’ve hatched
My parents gaze at me with a critical eye
I try to move to my Mightyena mother’s side to feed
She pushes me aside and walks away
I whimper and cry loudly for her but she doesn’t return
I look to my father who looks back with teary eyes
He turns slowly and follows my mother with his head down
Its dark now but the forest is full of terrifying noises
I’m frightened and alone shivering from the cold
What have I done wrong

The Raticate pauses and looks for me

I’m so tired and don’t know how to fight

My face is wet from a bombardment of snowflakes
Its night and the mountain storm is growing worse

Rage at what I had done to get him into this state

I suddenly collapse
I turn my head and see the boy approaching
