[size=2] [If the ending is a little too open ended, I can fix it. Because she doesn't end up at her house in the end and all that jazz.]

Like nearly all of the hopelessly foolish, smash-your-face-against-brick and carve-your-eyes-out-with-tweezers-because-you-cant-grasp-the-stupidity type events, it all started with love.

It took several minutes to blink the sleep out of her eyes. Turning to her side, the petite girl glared at the offensively bright numbers her clock projected. Seven-twenty five, five minutes before the god damn thing would start shrieking. Kaelym was a little more than miffed that she had missed out on an extra few, yet glorious, minutes of sleep.

She actually had half a mind to spend all day in the paradise that was her bed. Her sinuses throbbed excruciatingly and she could feel a certain stickiness in her chest. Unfortunately, work started in almost a half an hour, and stolen pokemon trafficking waited for no sickly teenager. At least, thats what she told herself over and over in the five peaceful minutes before her alarm sounded.

After doing all things necessary to start her day, the girl only needed to go down two flights of stairs to her basement (grabbing a bagel on the way, of course) to get to her workplace. The familys basement might not be the most glamourous, or even relatively bright, place for their headquarters of dastardly deeds, but it was cheaper than any other options.

Mornin Pop. Kaelym winced at the tell tale signs of sickness in her voice.

We have a busy day, the bald man said evenly, not lifting his eyes from the morning paper. After a moment, he set the newspaper down and stood up from behind his desk. All of our couriers will be in at some point today.

Kaelym nodded slowly to that, but her father was already halfway up the stairs to the kitchen. When the door closed behind him, her muscles slowly relaxed from their tense position. Finding her desk, she began to fill out orders. All this really consisted of was taking labeled pokeballs and matching it up with an address. The courier would be assigned a town and take all the stolen pokemon to their new owners. Theyd bring back the payment and would be cut a profit. Without hesitation, Kaelym had the most boring job out of the whole villainous industry.

Hello, sweetheart.

Kaelym rolled her eyes. Tom.

Whats with that attitude? Arent you happy to see me?

Swerving around her desk in her chair, Kaelym picked up a tightly sealed box. Assembling it only minutes ago, she taped a printed out set of addresses to the top. The girl shoved it at his chest and turned back to her computer.

Hey, Kaelym, sweetie. Hows about when Im done with this run, we go out to-

Not legal yet, Tom, Kaelym growled.

The man went upstairs, muttering something under his breath. Kaelym could only guess. She thought she had picked out never stopped me somewhere in there, but who knew? Hearing her father greet Tom loudly, she grunted a bit in annoyance. If the old man married her off to anyone to make sure the family business stayed in tact, it would be to that idiot. As she thought about it, she became lost in her work.

She was on auto pilot when she knocked box of pokeballs from one of the many shelves. There was a loud clap as the butt of the box slapped the concrete floor; but, thankfully only one pokeball escaped the cardboard prison. The sphere rolled over to her desk, and there was a soft pop as the pokemon appeared in a burst of red.

It was a little Mareep, and it was scared as hell.

They stared at each other for a moment, each too afraid to move. Kaelym hadnt ever been good at dealing with the creatures. In fact, she wasnt good at dealing with anything else that breathed. All it took was for her to cough up bits of phlegm to send the stupid little sheep running. She sighed and swore as she crouched down near her fathers desk, where it was hiding.

Cmere, you dumb animal, Kaelym snarled. She reached under the desk and grabbed a handful of its wool. The beast cried out, still terrified, and sent electricity up the girls arm. She yanked her appendage back, hitting her head on the bottom of the desk. FUCK!

Well... that wasnt going to work. She opted for a different approach. Her voice now sickeningly sweet and she held out her hand for the pokemon to consider. Im sorry, little guy. I didnt mean it. Come on, Im just trying to help you out.

The baby pokemon touched its snout to her fingertips. She took this as a good sign, and scratched behind its ears to comfort it. Kaelym backed away and beckoned the electric pokemon out from its hiding position. He easily followed and promptly jumped up on the girls lap. Kaelym couldnt help but smile as the thing nuzzled against her.

Awwww. Look at that. Kaelyms finally gone soft

Her eyes turned up to the staircase. She glared at Tom, but adopted a more stoic expression on seeing her father.

It got loose, she explained. He lodged his pokeball behind him, I had to get him to come to me somehow.

Her father looked especially peeved. Dont play with the merchandise. That ones being shipped off today. Good breeding stock.

Kaelym bit her lower lip as she stood up, the baby still in her arms.

Hey, isnt that the one I snatched from Hillmoss? From the famous breeders son, or something? Tom asked, talking in an excited voice. He jumped down the stairs and sauntered over to Kaelym. How much is he going for?

More than youll make in a month, her father replied gruffly.

As Tom scrutinized the pokemon, it pressed against Kaelym. Tom met her gaze, and a cocky grin twisted the corner of his lips. Youre so going soft.

Am not, she hissed venomously.

The man turned to her father. Let me make the delivery.

Ill do it!

Kaelym wasnt sure why she volunteered. At first, it was to prove that she hadnt gone to mush, and she was still the same bitch shes always been. But in the few seconds that followed, she slowly realized it was because she didnt want to hand the poor thing over to Tom. She knew it was going to cry and writhe the moment she handed it over. Even though she didnt share an emotional connection with the Mareep, she was at least a bit fond of it.


---

I swear to God, if you poop on me, Ill rip your tiny head off, Kaelym muttered as she carried the fuzz ball around. Yes, it would be easier if she kept it in the pokeball. She just couldnt bring herself to confine the Mareep.

She shifted the tiny pokemon to one arm as she fished out the set of directions from her back pocket. She scanned it once over, moving her lips as she read, and then replaced it back in her pocket.

Fuck, its cold. Kaelym brought her jacket around herself tighter as she fought off the urge to shiver. The Mareep seemed to sense this, and nuzzled against her for warmth.

Looking down at it sideways, Kaelym arched a brow. Real cute. If you think youre going to get out of this by being sweet to me, you got another thing comin.

Fuzzbutt (she temporarily named it) obviously had no idea what she was saying. It just baa-ed at her and butted its snout into her cheek. Kaelym grunted and held the thing out at arms length.

Dont you understand, stupid? Youre going to live the rest of your life in someones basement. Youll have a dumb little pen and make dumb little babies, and thats all you know. Youll have five feet of living space.

As she spoke, her voice gradually increased in volume and became more angry. You shouldnt trust me. You should hate me!

She tilted her head to the side as she was overcome by a coughing fit. After a good minute of hacking up god knows what in her chest, she glared back down at the Mareep in her hands. The pokemons eyes were huge and round, concern etched into every feature. It reached out again to her. This time, the little guy licked her nose.

In that instance, Kaelym really did go soft. She had fallen for the little guy.

Oh fuck me.

---

Alright, you know what to do, Kaelym spoke grudgingly as she set Fuzzbutt down. They were in the middle of a quaint little town. What did Tom say it was again? Grass Slope?

The Mareep turned and gave her a confused look.

Dont tell me you dont know where we are? Youre little boy is around here somewhere.

At this, Fuzzbutt ran around her in circles. She allowed herself a small smile.

Alright, alright. Enough of it. Seriously, get out of here. I didnt walk all this way for nothin, She set her hands on her waist as she spoke harshly. When the Mareep didnt move, she started shouting. You think I can keep you, you dumb animal! Get lost!

And so, Fuzzbutt fled. She sat down as she watched the little one run directly to where he knew was home. As it turned a corner, the girls fatigue caught up to her as did her fever. Durring her next fit of coughs, Kaelym blacked out.[/size]

I don't know if you want me to make something happen to you while you're blacked out. I think bad thoughts, so you wouldn't appreciate it if I did. Probably. Maybe you're into that kind of thing. I'm not going to, anyway, because I don't have imagination after work. And I don't have to do proper interactive mods, because I'm an admin.

We're going to say that you set out on your evil business fully equipped for whatever generic situation might arise, with Poketch and Escape Rope and 5000z in emergency funds in hand. You're in Little Hillmoss town, and now you need to figure out what to do with your life on the run from evil nasty family. There happens to be a crazy lady who gives free Pokemon to people in this town! Luck!

Go go, gadget. Great post. Have an extra 1000z, actually. Have fun.
