The Little Sheep that Could: Diary of a Mareep - Hello World!

[My pokemon post, as voted by you! Here's what it is: I have Pokemon Soul Silver (best ever) and I love it. My favourite pokemon is my mareep, Maurice. This is my pokemon adventure, from the point of view of one little sheep. The names included are the names from the pokemon game. :D]

This is a journal of my adventures, from when I met a strange, enigmatic girl and her baby fire-badger, up until…well, I don’t know. I haven’t gotten there yet. I know that I will travel far and wide, see the wonders of the region, and perhaps beyond.

My name is Maurice. I am two feet tall, my skin is blue and I have yellow wool - just a general, run-of-the-mill mareep. There was nothing special about me, until the day Kitty came across me, just outside of the human settlement of Violet City. She was a bizarre girl, a new trainer, in a long black dress, a parasol and purple hair. As soon as she laid eyes on me, she made me her new favourite pet.

She was a new trainer, only having left home that morning. Her first pokemon was a naïve cyndaquil by the name of Naoki. He was happy to welcome a new friend. That was about six weeks ago.

August 8th

Kitty lavishes attention on me. She loves walking with me, and she and I have conquered some small feats that she herself was rather proud of (although they confused me - her obsession for the smaller, furrier creatures was perplexing to say the least), and we made some interesting new friends along the way, up until where I am recording from now - Ecruteak City gym. I stood at Kitty’s ankles. I was a little frightened, but I tried to put on a brave face. The other five members of our team are near-permanent.

Naoki, having evolved into a quilava shortly after he and I met. He and I are close allies.
Akela, an umbreon who has become my mentor and hero. “You’re not impossible,” he told me. “You’re just a bit unlikely.”
Arabella, a beautiful ninetails who is as intelligent as she was strong.
Arias, a pidgeotto, fierce and proud, but she cares about us enough.
Lastly, a pokemon egg, the contents unknown.

Kitty was tense. She was always nervous before gym battles. She wasn’t quite sure how she was going to pull through this one, but I licked her hand, and that seemed to placate the girl some.

As it turns out, Naoki and Akela floored the leader alone, leaving me simply to cheer from the sidelines as Naoki somehow managed to chew on a gengar. Kitty was very pleased about such a happening, and exclaimed;

“Now I can use Surf!”

This perplexes me, and reminds me of back in Ilex forest. We saw a boy, hopelessly trying to direct a farfetch’d to cut a small tree blocking the way. The bird rolled its eyes and ignored the boy. A few hours later, he came back, with that odd, patterned piece of metal (Kitty calls it a badge) and the bird obeyed for some reason unexplained to me.

Regardless of the logic behind this, Kitty immediately went to catch herself a swimming monster. She caught a quiet little krabby named Claude, and after… “borrowing” a barrel from a construction site around the corner, and teaching him the “surf technique”, we were backtracking to a cave between Violet City and Azalea Town, which Kitty called “Union Cave”.

Of course, this meant camping in Ilex Forest for tonight. Kitty, Naoki and I huddled up together to sleep.

“Goodnight, Maurice.” Kitty murmurs. “I love you…”
