Chapter 26: A Sad Story About Leaf

October 10, 2016

     I haven't written in the journal in months, so I guess I will now. Red and I painted the entire house with the help of our dear friends. I heard Mom come into the den we
renovated and thanked Red for doing it. I miss Mom being around. We used to have
girls nights all the time. We would go have our nails done and go shopping once a week.
I miss my girls back in Alola, especially Rosa. She moved there from the Unova region.
Even her boyfriend followed her to Alola! I wish they would follow me to Kanto, Rosa
was the only person who truly understand me. Don't get me wrong, I love Lyra and Crys
to death, but you will always have that one special friend. I didn't care much for her
boyfriend, Hugh. He wasn't very fun and was kinda rude. I'm pretty sure he and Red
had a thing. They hung out a lot for about a week and then never spoke again. Red has
been wild, I'm concerned for his well being. He was soooo quiet back home, and now
he's talkative. He wouldn't talk up until he was seven until Dad pressured him into
speaking. Dad is a real piece of shit. I'm glad that he divorced Mom, and I think she was
too. He bullied Red for being gay when he came out when he was twelve. He would
bully me and Mom for supporting him as well. He would always go out drinking and
then come home at extremely early hours in the morning. Red and I used to wake up in
the morning due to them yelling at each other. I would sneak into the bed with Red and
he would comfort me, I didn't like it when they yelled. The worst thing that Dad has
ever done to me is when I was eleven. I found an injured Bulbasaur and nursed it back
to help. It had taken I liking to me, and I of coursed loved it. I named him Bulbi and
took him back home with me. No one was home when I brought him inside, and I
excitedly waited for Mom and Dad see what a good job I did taking care of Bulbi. Dad
was home from work first, so I grabbed Bulbi and went downstairs to show him. I
remember the face he made when I proudly showed Dad: rage. He yanked Bulbi out of
my arms and threw him across the room. I remember the exact words he screamed at
me. "You little brat! What the fuck is the matter with you! You know that I don't allow
disgusting Pokémon in this house! They will corrupt you into becoming a trainer and
ruin your future!" He continued to scream at me while I was crying, concerned for
Bulbi. Dad called Pokémon Control and had Bulbi taken away from me. I never saw him
again, and I still get upset about it. That was the maddest I have ever seen Dad towards
me. What makes me even more mad is that a few months later, Dad fought a wild
Pikachu under the floor boards. He said he will let us keep him because, "The little
bastard put up one hell of a fight." I wanted to scream at him, but I knew I wouldn't
win. Red liked the Pikachu, a lot. I didn't at first because I thought it wasn't fair that he
was allowed to stay. Red went outside with him and trained him with wild Pikipecks and Ratata. He got really strong too, as well as their bond. When Dad left Mom, he took
Pikachu from us and it crushed Red. Red wouldn't talk for a week until I drug him to
the movie theatre. He hasn't been in the mood to train any other Pokémon since then,
and it wasn't too long ago. Red has had a hard life, which was mostly due to Dad. He
really did not like Red being attracted to boys. He would toss him around every once in
awhile and call him offensive slurs. At school, Red would get picked on. He had only a
handful of friends, which were also my friends. He had this one friend named Gladion,
and I'm sure that he misses him a lot. They were into the same music and would go to
concerts all the time. He stuck up for Red also. Red was once blamed for the graffiti
mural in the boys bathroom that some douche bag did just to blame Red since he hated
him. Gladion went to administration and showed them Red's art class project and
showed them that Red drew like a four year old and that there was no way he could
have done it. The mural was of a naked man, of course, to make Red a main suspect. It
was an incredibly stupid plan. Red doesn't stay out late anyway, there was a handful of
reasons how he couldn't have done it. Dad even grounded Red for doing it, he didn't
believe that he didn't do it. I've always tried my best to make Red happy since Dad was
useless. Mom would take the two of us out to eat dinner when Dad didn't make home
when he got off work at six. Those nights were some of my favorite memories. I used to
write in this journal when things were upsetting me or I was depressed or irritated with
something. Right now, I feel fine, I'm just homesick I guess. This past year has been an
emotional wreck. Dad bailing, Mom getting a new job, us moving to Pallet Town,
leaving Rosa, Blue cheating. The whole Blue thing was outrageous. I knew something
was up when Blue would talk about Red a lot when we were dating. He would even be
disinterested in me when we hung out. When I walked in on them, I wanted to vomit,
but I wasn't surprised. I was mostly disappointed because I didn't think that Red could
do something like that. Green would text me and tell me how much he loved Red. I
know that had to hurt him a ton. Also, the whole Red and Green thing is confusing as
crap. Green wouldn't talk to Red, and now Green is hanging around him. They went to
my showcase together! Were they on a date?! How could it not be a date?! Moving to
Pallet Town has basically changed my life. I'm dating Paul and I usually don't go for
guys like him. He's very quiet, hard to read, but really sexy. I usually date star athletes
or popular boys. I like Paul because he's so mysterious and smart. He acts like he cares
about no one but he shows that he cares a lot for me. He's always asking me if I ate or if
I'm happy and truly wants me to be okay. I like him a lot actually <3. Wow, I talked
more about Red than I did myself. But then again, were basically best friends so his
drama is also my drama.
