"Wait here."

Two words. A simple order. It wouldn't be hard. This was a nice place. An endless plain with a clear blue sky, and a nice rock for him to soak up the sun and keep his tail out of the grass. So he watched the back of Green's head as it got smaller and smaller, then vanished completely. It tugged at his heartstrings to see his trainer go like that -- Can't I come with you? Can Nyx stay with me, at least? It won't be for long, right? -- but he had to be good. He gave Green enough trouble as it was.

But Green... he always forgave Char, no matter how many times he ignored orders or backsassed. Even when Char had hit him, even when he'd run away... he was still willing to give Char a second chance. You sure are lucky, Kerosene. Compared to all that, being alone for a little while wasn't such a big sacrifice. He'd be back as soon as Char was strong enough.

So Char waited.

And waited.

Sunrises and sunsets came and went. He bowed his small body around the flame on his tail through wind, snow, and rain. He never hungered, he never slept. Only waited.

But the horizon never changed. Nobody ever came. The wind, snow, and rain continued to come, but somehow... they weren't as cold anymore. The sun stopped being warm. The swaying of the grass in the breeze was... strangely soothing. Everything was calm and still. Slowly, Charmander curled up, bringing the feeble flame of his tail up to his nose. They'd be here soon. He just needed to rest a bit.

A final, faint sigh escaped his lips and snuffed out that dying light.

Well, stop feeling that way!! I told you, I hate it when people pity me! He was coming back for me!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry! ~~I just..~~ ~~I..~~ Hnngh..

*Lucas please stop being terrible with words for five seconds. 8C*

Just... leave me alone. Don't waste your pity on me. I'm bad news! An instigator! I was gonna beat you up, remember?

Even so, I'd never truly hate you Kerosene. I could never bring myself to dislike a Pokemon despite how their personality shows through..

Besides..You know, I kind of like that in a Pokemon.. A...well! A fiery spunk that you rarely see..

I... I'm still gonna beat you up! Then what?

I still wouldn't hate you. However, I would be in pain.. But not in hate.

That... that's dumb. If someone hurts you, you're s'posed to hate them!

...

~~My ..~~ Kerosene.. Even so...I just couldn't bring myself to do something like that.

I'm a Pokemon Trainer, and for the better part, you guys are my life..And I don't hate what's in my life, even if it's hurt me.

*Okay now He's just being dumb in a small way. 8T; Way to go, parachute pants*

If you keep thinking like that... you're gonna get hurt a lot more.

Is that really what you want...?

..What doesn't kill us makes us stronger..

~~*sage nod*~~

Maybe your heart's not so weak, after all.

I believe I've learned a bit about myself this week.. Especially today..

I think I learned stuff about you, too.

It's gonna be way harder to be mean to you after this.

And now you see why I have such a chipper outlook on life, huh? I miss her terribly, but..I don't let that fact ruin my life.

Even if....even if it really hurt me..

I don't get it. You got left behind too. How come you're so... how come you're still smiling? Aren't you mad?

Don't... don't you hate yourself?

((And now, we can pretend I have adult icons. x: ))

You'd think that, huh? I've still got someone who'd never lose faith in me.. My Pokemon.

Though..really? I..do regret going with my father that day, even if I didn't have a choice..

((These icons are all gonna be broken soon enough so works for me %D))

...I don't think she did it because you weren't good enough. I mean... I don't know her, but... you'd be good enough for anyone, I think.

((Lol okay. %D ))

You..you really think so? I just wish I had known where she was..or if she's still alive.
