<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Damn limp...”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(239, 239, 239)"> This was the lone thought that dominated Hanayome Atsuka, ‘Well-trained’ Ralts’ mind. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Now NO gosh-blasted Trainer’s gonna be picking me... Hell, even I wouldn’t pick me right now...”</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(239, 239, 239)">The previous night had been the first night she hadn’t been raped, gang-banged, robbed, or otherwise assaulted since her ‘parents’, an elderly couple, had died some time back, and she was sent away. They had kept her from due punishment for a while, but could no longer protect her from beyond the grave.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(239, 239, 239)">Then again, as she had gradually adapted to being a Ralts in human form, she had been taught the rules of society. She didn’t know until it was too late that an attempt at sexual assault did not merit... castration. She had been shunned by the entire town since then, especially since the boy happened to be the Gym Leader’s little brat.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(239, 239, 239)">Last night, she got the brilliant idea to sleep in a tree, and of ALL nights, that night came one of the biggest earthquakes the Region had ever known. At least, it <b>felt</b> like that. She fell from her branch, startled, and landed on her leg. She had almost cried out in pain, but blocked out the response, and concentrated on a large group of happy vibrations, which she felt as sounds, and as such, being a feeling Pokémon, could focus to send some of her own, that others could feel, albeit very slightly. She began crawling towards them, ever so slowly...</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(239, 239, 239)">Now, she was at the top of the steps, long after sunrise. Every step caused agony, and she felt drained. In a desperate, last ditch attempt, she locked onto an Aaron (Aron?) with silvery hair (Mostly because she was the first one that she saw, as a result of her shiny hair) and attempted to cause her to look around with the only thing she could: mixed feelings. </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(239, 239, 239)">She knew the risk of only sending a signal out to one Gijinka, but she also knew the risk of spreading it out, making it weaker, so that NOBODY came to help. Also, a female, likely being more gentle and motherly than a male, who might just try to rape her, would further increase her chances. After a few seconds, she groaned, her energy spent, and passed out on the spot where she lay.</span>
