The True Passion of My Hatred - A Dying Wish

[Vaygen]

Kitamina Willow

     Kit looked around, taking in her surroundings. Tall trees, their leaves changing with the cooling weather, long grass, hiding who knew what and an open blue sky without a cloud in sight. Feara walked beside Kit, looking just as confused as she was. At some point Kit had gotten off track or lost more like. She was looking for the route to Cherrygrove. She had heard of a rumor about there being some running shoes that would help her in her travels. She wanted to obtain them as soon as possible. But Kit had never been very good at directions, even when she'd had a map. So now here she was, out in the wilderness, without a clue. She at least had Feara and Bagel to protect her though. Her trusty starter, Feara the Chamander and the Bagel loving Rattata named Bagel.

     Kit was just about to take out her map again and try to glean any information about where she could be when Feara made a sound just beside her. Off to her right was a young, pale kid who looked to have seen better days. Usually Kit avoided people, it's why she wanted to go off on her own in the first place. People and Kit did not genuinely mix. Most people thought that Kit was too bull headed, or downright rude. But she had no other choice, unless she wanted to journey further ahead and probably get lost even more.

     "Hey kid!" Kit yelled out when she was close enough. Now that she got a good look at the boy Kit found herself a little worried. She had never done well with sick people, you needed to have a special heart to be a nurse or to even care about those who were sick. And this kid looked sick. Kit startled when the boy glanced at her then coughed, not even bothering to cover his mouth. Keeping at least six feet between the boy and herself Kit asked. "You ok man?" She wanted to bite at the boy, telling him to go home and lay in bed if he wasn't feeling well. But she was striving to be a better person.

     And then the boy decided to do the most awful, horrifying thing that Kit could have ever imagined! PLOP, out of an offered pokeball came the ugliest most disgusting thing that Kit had ever seen. Small and worm like, the bug type pokemon that squirmed in the grass and dirt had the heeby geebies crawling up Kits spine. A scream caught in the back of Kits throat, because the boy was practically begging Kit to take the bug type pokemon and evolve it. How did one, politely tell someone else, to go shove it? Kit bit her lip, because how did one also say no to a kid who was obviously on their death bed? Without really realizing what word vomit was coming out of her mouth, Kit replied. "O...oo...kkk...I'll t...aake the b...uu...pokemon." 

     Kit quickly grabbed the pokeball that the kid offered her and shoved the ball into her bag. With a pep in her step she started walking quickly away from the boy, before he could get her to take another bug pokemon. Kit now had a to do list, grab as many bug repellent and hand sanitizers as she could fit into her backpack when she reached the next town. Ten minutes later Kit realized that she had never asked for directions, and now she was more lost than before.

Although Kent dreamed of living the same dreams that other kids had, he knew that he would never get this opportunity. Life started out rough for Kit, bedbound from a young age and locked away from the worst of nature and the world itself. He only remembered seeing grass and trees through the windows of his parents’ vehicles on long road trips to distance family members in Ecruteak City, before being bustled back home. All of that stopped when the illness progressed, burning its way through his lungs. It made it difficult to breathe, which in turn made it difficult to think most days.

He wasn’t contagious, though most of the world treated him like he was. It made the lonely boy feel worse. The world was isolating him away from not only his hopes and dreams, but also his own peers who avoided him like the plague. So when he managed to stumble upon Kitamina, he could only hope that maybe she would be someone whose heart was just big enough to help him see a tiny sliver of his dream before his untimely demise eventually crept over him. “H-hey.. I’m not…I’m not catchy….” Kent wheezed and coughed, covering his mouth with a napkin. When he pulled back, a bit of crimson dotted the cloth where he coughed.

“I just… Mom says there’s no way I can… can go out there, ya know? And I just… I really want to see all the Vivillon patterns… before its too late for me… please?” When she accepted his offer, Kent couldn’t have been happier. He hobbled a bit, rocking on his wobbly legs back towards the direction of his house. “Th-thank you so much! I will do my best to repay you for… for each Vivillon pattern you… you show me!” Kent promised her. His legs ached and burned from the effort of carrying himself away and back home. He knew his mother, who spent most of her days crying or fretting over his wellbeing, would be downright upset to know he snuck out to give one of his Pokemon away.
