[One-Shot] A Big Little Guy - a rhyming short story

[Aethelstan]

This is just a rhyming short story I wrote once when I was bored, but it came out pretty good.
---------------------------------------------------
A Big Little Guy

Once, I was walking about,
Because the sun had just come out,
When suddenly, I saw a plant,
Who had the voice of a giant!

“I’m an Oddish! I am strong,
Though I’ve not lived very long!
Battles I could win with ease,
So someone come and battle, please?”

After I heard this Oddish cry,
In the corner of my eye,
I spotted someone gray and rough,
A Rhydon! He looked pretty tough.

Up to the Oddish, Rhydon went,
Then he stopped, and over he bent,
And laughed at Oddish with all his might!
The ground was shaking, what a sight!

He said, “Oddish are so weak and small!
Unlike me, who’s strong and tall!
Yes, when Monday morning rolls around,
I will crush you into the ground!”

Rhydon left, then, and to my surprise,
There was a feiry look in Oddish’s eyes,
I expected something that seemed afraid,
So I ran over, to be of aid.

“Little one, don’t be so dumb,
You’re the size of Ryhdon’s thumb!
Now before a slaughter has begun,
I would get up now, and run!”

But Oddish just stood and shook his head,
He then looked up at me and said,
“He is big; I’m smaller than an elf,
But I can win by believing in myself!”

Sooner than I thought, Monday came,
Oddish hopped up, he looked quite lame.
Rhydon stomped, he shook the ground!
I suddenly wished I wasn’t around.
But again, I saw the fire in Oddish’s eyes,
And though Rhydon was 10 times his size,
I somehow knew Oddish could do it,
I still hoped he wouldn’t take the first hit.

Rhydon charged! He used his horn!
I was sure we’d have a death to mourn,
But wait! Oddish jumped over Rhydon’s head!
The little fellow wasn’t dead!

Rhydon tried again, this time faster!
And again I feared a great disaster,
But no, Oddish was just too quick!
He jumped up and delivered a kick!

His foot jabbed Rhydon in the eye!
And surprisingly, he began to cry!
“Ow, ow, ow!” Rhydon shouted,
Oddish was winning, though I had doubted!

Oddish then used Giga Drain,
And inflicted excruciating pain!
Rhydon ran, he’d had enough,
So much for looking big and tough.

I ran over to Oddish and said,
“I figured you should have fled,
But you most definitely proved me wrong!
You had it in you all along!”

Now there is a lesson to be taught,
Did this turn out like you had thought?
See, little ones can do big things,
No matter what this life brings!

Very good, creative. Some of the rhyming, at least in my mind, is a bit of a stretch, but that's a pretty common problem.

This is... Really good. I love how your were able to find nice rhymes, but keep the stroy flowing smoothly. That's a tough thing to accomplish. Kudos.
I feel the need to ask though, should this be in poetry? The ryhming, verses, and rythem make it seem an awful lot like a poem.

This would make an excellent children's picture book. <3

I thought about this, but I guess it depends on your definition of a poem. I personally think of poems being more expressing emotions, or describing something creatively, not really a story.

I thought about that too. I even almost started drawing it, but that would be a lot of images to draw... and I'm a lazy bum.
