Rattata's Grand Adventure

A group of various pokemon gathered around an old Racitate in the park while their trainers take a load off across the area. A Flareon twitched his ears and sat down, being the last to arrive. He was there just in time to hear the story of the town's most famous Racitate. (Most famous to the pokemon, anyways).

The old Raciate began his tale once more in the pokemon language, and the younger pokemon listened closely, their eyes glistening with curiosity and interest.

--- "Aww man! Not a Rattata!"

I've heard that phrase all my life. You see, us Rattata aren't exactly the most desirable Pokemon. Not in these parts, anyways, where the elite trainers live. I've been knocked out more times in the course of a day than I've eaten berries in my entire life. And I eat lots of berries. Mmm, wild berries. So juicy and tasty and delicious...Mmmmm....

"I'm rambling, aren't I? Well, I'm flattered you've stuck around to hear my tale, youngins." The racitate said, chuckling a bit. He began his story once more as the younger pokemon shuffled closer, excited for the story.

I scurried through the field and its thick green grass. The luscious flowers and beautiful bushes and trees rose around me as I entered the forest, with some of the plants touching the sky, and others hugging the ground.

I had already been knocked out for the fifteenth time today. One of those times, I saw the trainer catch another Rattata instead. A shiny, of course. Trainers adore shiny pokemon, even though those pokemon are no different from us normal pokemon, aside from their unique coloration.

I've been waiting to be captured by a loving trainer ever since I was much younger. However, rookie trainers hardly ever go here. I would run off to somewhere where there were newer trainers looking for pokemon, but I wouldn't know what to do in that new place, for I wasn't used to it, and I would probably get eaten by predator.

I'm actually rather surprised I have survived for as long as I have.

I scurried off towards the lake, following the river downstream to meet up with a friend of mine.
