Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

These will be poems told from the point of various Pokémon. I'll write a few-but if they go uncommented and unreviewed, I'll know there's no interest in them and I'll stop. I think this is an interesting idea, but you may disagree-and if you do, just don't post at all. If you want more, just comment on them-even if it's only one person liking the poems, as long as they comment, as long as they tell me, I'll right more.

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

New World

Sinking, falling, sinking, falling,
Worried friends and family calling,
The black sludge clings, pulls me down,
Sweet darkness comes from all around,
And as I inhale the black death-
I realise it's my last breath.

I want to fight, I want to stay-
So many last words I need to say-
But they can't hear me, way down here-
And now I have to disappear...

But wait, no! There's a choice,
I'm informed by an echoing voice,
I can leave, and never come back-
Or stay, until the sun burns black.

Ideas and thoughts swirl around my head,
Thinking clearer now, now that I'm dead.
Is it worth it, to say my last goodbyes-
To look once more upon the skies-
But never see what lyes beyond?
From heaven I must forever abscond.

But I can't leave, I decide,
From heaven, I will hide.
Celebrations will my family host,
When I come back, as a ghost!

No sooner then I am decided,
Then I open a groggy eyelid,
And find myself outside my home,
Alive again, but all alone.

I rush to find my family and tell-
That I have turned down heaven and hell,
And will live my days here, with them all!
My death undone, my life a ball!

Happiness is me, as I run,
Or, more glide, to be honest,
But I take no notice, ignore it-
Until I find my family, I won't rest!

Then, I see them, my family and friends-
Weeping, tears exstinguisihing their flaming tail-ends,
Weeping, shouting, sobbing, crying-
Can't over my temporary dying.

I call out loud, my words clear
But then, to my shock and fear,
My words aren't my own, but instead-
Of a different Pokémon-Pokémon that are dead!

They turn and scream, grief turns to rage-
And it's clear for all to see-
The sadness and anger at my passing-
They're channeling at...me!

I try to run, tell them to refrain-
But my dead lips just can't explain!
They incinerate me, I can't catch breath-
I run, avoiding my second death.

I flee, flying, feet off the ground-
Screaming only an unnatural sound,
The pain, the rage, the flame, the grief!
I plunge into a river, and gain sweet relief.

.....Hours pass......Maybe days...
I awake, in a haze,
And stare at my reflection!
But no! This must be deception!

Because my face not stares back at me-
But the face of a dreaded Ghastly!
I stare, and realize what I've done-
Never can I explain to anyone.

I'm a ghost, shut off from those I loved-
I'll be attacked on sound or sight,
I'm harmless, not aggressive! But-
My very face inspires fright.

My days will be filled with despair,
I'm not dead, not fully alive-
But I can die a second time,
No afterlife for me, you see...
I guess I must learn to survive.
For non existence awaits, if I die,

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Wow...that was really really good. *applause*
And I absolutely love gastly, so kudos for writing about it!

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

This is pretty awesome.
Would you be accepting requests?

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

That... was awesome. Kudos for actually being able to create non-awkward rhyme!
(except it's spelled gastly, without the h)

I especially liked the reaction of fear when the narrator looked at his/her/its reflection.

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Zapi, thanks. Praise is always appreciated. I can't believe people liked it (^_^)
SomeGuy, it took years of training. I cringed when I found it was without a H.
LegendarySeeker99, absalutely. Request away.

Thanks, the three of you, for responding.

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Awake (And Alive)
It's the lowest of the low,
Currents ordering it's fate,
Ignored above, ignored below,
It's far too late, far too late.

As I look at you, I feel shame,
No friendship could survive this,
Nothing could ever be the same,
No bonds beyond this deadly twist.

We existed, never truly alive-
Unable to affect our existence,
Unable to touch our own lives,
Unable to offer the slightest resistance.

The current ordering our fate,
But together, always together,
For you, it's far too late,
You did nothing, I fought harder.

The change hit me, in a blast-
Of power and strength and light,
Evolved, controlling my fate at last,
My life started to be my own that night.

I'm the one who worked the most,
But you look at me with jelous eyes,
Now that I'm a Gyrados,
I can see with great surprise-

You look at me with fear and blame,
No friendship could survive this,
Nothing could ever be the same,
No bonds beyond this deadly twist.

You exist, not truly alive-
Unable to affect your existence,
Unable to touch your own life,
Unable to offer the slightest resistance.

It's hard, but I have to believe it,
This rift too big, I can't heal it,
Too much pain, I'll just leave it,
Whatever we had, I can no longer feel it.

It's not too late, you could be like me one day-
It's not something anyone could ever deprive,
But you have to work, as hard as you may-
Us Magikarp must work hard to even feel alive.

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Lol, I misspelled gastly, too (I do it all the time), so don't feel too bad.

Another awesome poem! Somehow the fact that it's about Magikarp makes it all the more epic.

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

D'aww... now I feel sorry for all the little magikarp.

I named mine Useless... I'M SORRY USELESS!

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

That was awesome :D

I request a random Jirachi poem~

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Oh, yeah, I forgot you said you'd take suggestions. I think you should write about one of the Slowpoke line, particularly Slowbro. Just look at Slowbro's Silver/SoulSilver pokédex entry:
"Naturally dull to begin with, it lost its ability to feel pain due to SHELLDER's seeping poison."

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

And just because hopping on bandwagons is what I do, I hereby request one about yamask.

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

One Thousand Years

Hears your requested Jarachi (not Jirarchi [^_^]) poem.

Stars was born, as all Jirachi are,
As the Millenium Comet passed overhead,
It shone brighter then then any star,
Filling mere mortal man with fear and dread.

Years went by, Stars aged and grew,
Learned some lessons, lived a life,
A century passed, then one became two,
Never leaving home nor experiencing strife.

His parents loved him, and he loved them,
And his sister Etoil lived with them also,
But soon she left to live in the world of men,
He shed tears, but had to let her go-

And of she went, to find a cave-
Or similar ancient conclave-
And would not return for a thousand years-
Stars easily equaled that number in tears.

Month after month became year after year,
Stars treated the world outside with utmost fear,
Never venturing beyond his humble abode,
Without his sister he felt a little alone-

But when his fifth century came around,
His parents told him something to truly astound,
Though he felt like he'd been home only a day,
He would have to leave-find his own way!

The years that passed were long and lonely,
His large, empty cave never felt homely,
He devoted much of his time to consciousless sleep-
Dreaming of his family-when he awoke he would weep.

Five hundred years of solitude-
Emotions a wall of fortitude-
But suddenly, after sleeping so long-
Something pulled him awake-a beautiful song!
And, 'Oh Shock! Oh great Surprise!'
Was this human, before his eyes!?

She was tall-much bigger than him-
But she seemed so faintly and thin...
With quavoring lips she whispered a plea-
'Oh won't you please give my son back to me?'

Stars blinked and stared in most earnest surprise-
What could he do for this girl with tears in her eyes?
But instinct took over-he knew he could do it,
Eyes scrunched up in effort he set himself to it-

Whispering words as old as time,
Devoid of rhythm, pacing or rhyme,
Magical words brimming with magical power,
He knew for certain this was his finest hour!

He had taken her home, devoid of any harms,
This woman's son had been killed in strife!
Had put that woman's dead son in her arms,
Ended her sorrow by giving him life.

Never had he felt such contented bliss-
Having changed her life, by granting a wish-
'A wish?' Stars thought. 'I'm Wishgranting Galore!'
Then he said to himself,'What do I wish for?

But when Millenium Comet ceased to fly through the sky,
He knew it would be the closing of his third, his true eye,
He'd lose the power then, he knew it in his heart-
So he thought of a wish, then quickly made a start-

'Someone to be with' Stars thought. 'Someone like me!'
But when he opened his eyes, the cave was empty.
He felt like he was crushed by this life's dives and delves.
Maybe it's a rule, maybe stars can't wish on themselves?

'Ahhem!', he heard from behind,
His thoughts were amazement! 'Two visitors for me?'
But when he turned, he was nearly struck blind!
For staring right at him was a shy Jirachi!
'Ahhem' she repeated. 'Your cave looks empty-
Would there be any room for a girl like me?'

Stars could barely contain his glee.
'Sure, but you'll have to share with me!'

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Sorry, but Generation 5 Pokemon are going to be a bit beyond me. Sorry, but I have no Gen V games, and the only information I could ever glean about them would be from the internet. So, sorry.

Now, onto Slowbrow's evolutionary tale!

You, my king? No way!
So you're a little smarter,
You don't ever get to lead the way,
You pregnaicuos upstarter!

You, my king? Me, your servant?
You're an arrogant fool, you clown!
What could possibly make you deservant?
Let me guess, the 'Regal Crown'?

You, my king? You, my better?
You couldn't lead a....a...a...oh...erm...
So, my vocab's not on the letter,
But I'm better than you, insignificant germ!

You, a king? I'd rather be dead!
So mine's on my tale, your's is on your head,
To be led by someone so ill bred!
Dignity!? Let me hold onto a shred!

So, Slowking, (emphasis on the slow),
Us simple Slowbro's are fine as we are,
Happy with what we got, you know?
With you leadin' us-we wouldn't go far!

So leave now, and don't come near-
That fancy crown won't do you much good here!

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Awesome! The Jirachi one was so cute, and the Slowbro one was funny.

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Ah, alright. I was originally going to request one about sableye anyway. Man, you somehow manage to do these quickly and still have them be awesome.

I love how you manage to make the narrators seem so... lifelike.

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Never Too Late)
This poem featuresso, naturally, it is awesome.

Going for something a little but different here, so bare with me.

Swirling, swishing, waving, churning,
Into my eyes the darkness burning,
It's all around me lest I ever forget-
Darkness is my eternal regret.

Born in it, lived in it, determined
Not to die in it like vermin,
Because I'll see sky before I see heaven's gate,
And it's not too late, Because it's never too late.

And as I stand here on my own,
Living in the dark that I call home,
Wondering if my eyes will ever see-
Or has this darkness blinded me?

But here I am, safe and sound-
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
Why ever venture above ground, be away from
(From the dark, from the dark, from the dark)
Is it even safe in the light, outside
(Of the dark, of the dark, of the dark)
Here where it's so easy to hide,
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark),
Maybe living here is my fate? To be-
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark),
It can wait, it's not too late,
It's never too late.

So I stand in the Twilight,
Betwixt the world outside-
And my haven of eternal night,
Where to be still is to hide,
Instinct demands I stay,
Resolve demands I go,
Whichever one will have it's say,
I am at a loss to know.

Can I survive out in the light?
Should I try it when it's night?
What if I were to die of fright?
What if the difference is only slight,
And my fantasies are ruined tonight?

Thoughts fill my empty head,
I know what's best for me tonight,
But I want you instead,
You plague upon me, known as light.

Shake thoughts from my mind,
Tossing it from side to side,
Mustering whatever I can find
To take a towering step outside.

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Oooh do Arcanine do Arcanine! These are really (emphasis on really) amazing!

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

I would agree, these poems are pretty incredible. I only wish I had this kind of writing talent, but I guess I should stick to art.

As for a request, I'm torn between so many that I'd love for you to do. But I think I'll have to settle on Porygon-Z, if you would?

Re: Inside The Minds Of Pokémon

Requesting Shinx :D
