Cherish Memories
After we received both the Thunder and Rainbow badges we happened across a shy female Vulpix who hid from any one that approached her. I thought to try and capture her as she was near death, but I soon found that she had an owner.
Of course we didn’t know that it was her owner that put her in the condition she was in…
Zen and I took him on in a battle for ownership of the Vulpix. He used several other Pokemon that could not compete with Zen at all. After the battle Zen and I rushed the little fox to the Pokemon Center.
Nurse Joy was not happy when we explained the circumstances of our acquiring the Pokemon that she knew as belonging to another trainer. She called the local police to the scene and I again repeated the story.
Turns out our cherished little fox was used for adult entertainment and fights, and was abused when she did not follow orders.
Her former trainer is now in jail, and all his Pokemon have been rehabilitated, released, or destroyed as needed. I immediately gave the Vulpix a new name, Cherish.
She was wary of Zen for quite some time before warming up to him. She still dislikes most male humans, and only approaches one male trainer I’m on good terms with.
Sorry Trent, but we had to name you here, after all you’re not only my Rival, you are my best friend.
