Farla! That is the saddest fic I have EVER read! Right up there with "Dark Battle"... Except for even worse... It's a vicious cycle too... The more the pokemon loses, the more it's trainer beats and starves it... The more it's trainer beats and starves it, the more it loses... I bet it will die... And yet it is blindly being hopeful... So sad! Keep up the good work!

Trainer abuses pokemon.

Pokemon, therefore, cannot win.

Pokemon is blinded to reality, and wil not flee.

Pokemon believes its trainer is in the right.

Pokemon, I assume, eventually dies of abuse.

Fic scares me.

I will now go and pummel said trainer. A lot. With claws unsheathed. _

Wow...so sad. You have a knack for depressing things.

very dark. and another jerk of a trainer. this kind of storyline was interesting the first few times but now it's starting to get stupid. can you try something more original?

*sniff* Sad...

Ooh! Mebbe it's in the POV of a Magikarp or sumfin ... I have a question. When you write these POVs, do you have any clue what Pokemon it'd be? Very cool, Farla-chan! I'll go put you on my favourite authors list! Or ... I would, but ... you're already there. . Ciao!

Ouch. Now that REALLY gets to me, because of the Pokemon's mistaken hope, and your twist of the meaning of 'optimism'. Fantastic irony.

Crimson is teary eyed. And she's ready to slap the person who would ever make their Pokemon battle with such injuries, not to mention starve it. Oh, she says that he's a git. A blasted evil git. She's starting on the full insult, so I'd better go.

*shudders* So THAT is what AJ's Sandshrew feels like...

love is blind

It's trainers like him that make me sick. Very well written.

Wow. Diff.

Aaww... :( That's really sad... you're the apotheosis of angst. _

Very good! Poor Pokemon, it's trying so hard!

Sad :( poor iddl thing.
