pmyth: Typhlosion

Theme: the connection between humans and pokemon/the method of thinking like a humans

Long ago, when the boundary between humans and Pokemon was unclear, there was a village in a certain place. One day, a girl from that village went up to the mountain to gather firewood. She had seen a lot of dried wood in the mountain forest, so she went deeper and deeper. Before she knew it, the sun was setting, and the girl was lost. She saw Typhlosion turds rolling around her and she was afraid.

Then from the other side of the forest came washing a certain young man. His face didn't look like anyone from the village but he was very handsome. The young man said: "Might you perhaps be lost? I can guide you down the mountain paths but with your pace it'll be night before we get there. I'll take you tomorrow morning, so how about staying at my place tonight?"

With no other choice, the girl did as the young man said. The young man took the girl's hand and started walking. Just as the sun set, they arrived at a giant cave. "This is my house. You're hungry, aren't you? Wait here." As soon as the young man said this, he left the cave and went out. Some time after he'd left, in the distance on the mountain there was a red glow and the trees rumbled as they shook. Eventually the young man came back with many fruits of red trees. The young man said, "When you've eaten these, let's sleep for today. If you wake up before me, please do not look at my face."

The next morning, when the girl opened her eyes, the young man was still asleep. The girl kept her promise and laid still, and fell back asleep. The young man's voice woke her up again. When she looked outside, the sun was already starting to go down.

"Let's eat the green trees' fruits today. Wait here."

He said this, and went out again from the cave. Some time after he left, there was a red glow in the distance on the mountain, and the sound of trees rumbling as they shook. After the sun had gone down, the young man came back with lots of green tree fruits. The young man said.

"When you've eaten these, let's sleep for today. If you wake up before me, please do not look at my face."

When the girl said her family must be worrying and she'd like to go back as soon as possible, the young man gave a big yawn, striking her on the head. When he did this, the girl forgot entirely about her family and her home. And the two of them ate the fruit of the green tree and fell asleep.

The next day too,  the two of them awoke at dusk, the young man went out to get fruit from the trees, which they ate, and then went to sleep.

Continuing this life, at last the girl realized the young man was a Typhlosion.

As the winter approached, the Typhlosion dug out the interior of the cave. Then he said to the girl: "Gather firewood from the trees; take from branches in the tall ones."

The girl wanted to do as the Typhlosion asked, but was afraid of the tall trees so she only climbed the shorter ones.

She gathered several branches and returned. The Typhlosion said to her: "that's no good--you must gather branches from taller trees or we will be seen by the humans."

As the snow began to fall, the two of them lived sleeping in the deep of the cave. There was plenty to eat; sometimes they would awake to eat and then sleep again. One day when she woke, she saw she was holding a child. Day and night of several days passed, and the Typhlosion said "Your father searches for you. But you are my wife so I will not give you back. I must fight him."

She said "Please stop. Do not kill my father. How can I live with you if you kill my family? You are a good person. So do not go out and instead let us sleep here."

"Very well; let us sleep here," said the man. The following evening, the Typhlosion awoke the girl and said "Your father is nearby. Look outside." The girl looked outside and saw the surroundings enveloped in a blizzard. The girl climbed a low tree and broke off a branch. When she returned to the cave she found the Typhlosion singing. It was a song she had never heard.

"You have taken the branch from the tree. Your father will come here soon. I will go to do terrible things to your father. If I am killed, ask for my eyes and voice and heart. And then I wish you to make a fire on the spot I fell, and burn them. Then sing the song I have taught you until the fire burns out."

The girl said "Please stop. Do not kill my father. Please do not-- please be killed yourself."

"Farewell. We shall not meet again."

When he said this, the Typhlosion went outside. After awhile, there was a great noise, and the girl looked out to see her father had killed the Typhlosion. The girl flew out of the cave and said to her father: "Father, you have killed your son. I have lived with him until now. He was my husband. Give me my husband's eyes, heart, and voice."

The girl made a fire where the Typhlosion had been killed, and set fire to his eyes, heart, and voice. And until the fire went out, she sang the song she had learned from the Typhlosion.

The girl's father made a small hut outside the village and had his daughter and her child live there.

At long last, spring came. The youth of the village often bullied the girl and her child.

This grew crueler by the day, and once they made the girl and her child wear the pelt of the Typhlosion. The girl returned to her parents' home and appealed to them: "Please tell the villagers to stop harrassing us. If we wear that pelt then we too will become Typhlosion. We area already half Typhlosion as it is."

Even though her parents tried to reason with them, the people of the village would not listen to them. As if that wasn't enough, they found it more and more amusing to dress the girl and her daughter in the Typhlosion's pelt. And then the girl and her child howled in a great voice, and vanished into the depths of the forest. The two of them never returned. It was then that the people understood.

The Typhlosion was half human.
