Posted Decades, one of the prewritten one-shots mentioned in the last entry. It's about a rattata who gets captured.

...I'm going to get comments about how you totally agree all trainers are evil, aren't I? You have no idea how frustrated I get by those.

Anyway, the story idea is actually a really old one I've had for years, and the story itself, come to think of it, was written in the first couple weeks of last summer. Years ago I read a fanfic about a young boy getting his family's pokemon from his mother. It was unfinished at the time and I never read it again, but one line from it stuck with me for years and probably the only reason even remember the rest of it is that one little line.

Oftentimes, authors write things without fully considering the implications, and, for whatever reason, the Pokemon fandom seems particularly vulnerable to this happening. It's odd sometimes to read a line and realize that what the author has inadvertantly created something far worse than they ever thought of.
