I am a Braixen. I used to be a Fennekin, surviving in a scary forest day after day but then my Master found me.

He is a tall human, a trainer. A very good trainer in fact despite how young he is. I was born with an odd discoloration, something my trainer calls “Shiny,” that means instead of my brothers and sister’s yellow, orange or red i am instead pink and purple. 
My Master really likes my fur, he named me Grapes after it in fact. A lovely name.

We met in that scary forest that i mentioned before. He refused to get a “hand me down” pokemon from the lab in his town and instead went into the forest along to capture one without any help. I do not know how long he took to do this but when he met me he look tired but not dirty or injured. My Master is so smart he most likely found me in a day! Or an hour! The look on his face, that huge smile, when he found me. Of course i ran straight to him, being a “Shiny” is terrible and lonely so i jumped at the chance to be captured. 

He did not even have any pokeballs on him at the time but i got my own fancy ball later might i add, not that i use it much. 

When he carried me back to town oh the faces! Parents, trainers, the professor. All cheers and smiles, amazement all over. He was given a pokedex, pokeballs, potions and a map but he never used a ball on me, not yet. I found out that he was actually a loner like i was, they called him strange or other worse names but i do not know why. 
We traveled all over, forests, cliffs, tunnels and caves. Heading to the bigger city he said and along the way we started to train. Wild pokemon at first with his own training routines in between, like running and practising my moves. He loved my ember at the time. Every win made him happy, so very happy. We started to capture more pokemon, training them too and then finally we started to battle other trainers!

It was so exciting and because my Master is so smart we never lost a battle. Each one made us stronger and stronger while earning him the money needed to keep all of us going. He had a team for single battles, double battles, switch battles, ah so many strategies that it makes my head spin to even think.

It did not take long for me to evolve. Several of us did in fact and that only made him happier, giving each one of us a little celebration for getting this far. Master sure does care a lot about us!

Finally we arrived in the big city. First thing he does? Get us all nice and rested at the pokecenter before getting himself food or new clothes. He got us all kinds of stuff too, not just supplies but held items, toys and little bits of clothing he calls “accessories”!
For me however i got the most special of gifts, a collar with something he calls an “everstone” so i may stay perfect as i am, whatever that means, but i also got to look in the odds and ends box to pick my own clothing accessory too like the rest of the team! I ended up picking this odd bit of cloth, i loved the color hehe.
He called them ‘panties’, a little pink pair that fits around my waist and under the tail, quite warm and soft too. He did say that people might look at me a little odd but also that he liked that i was more modest. Another odd word.

We defeated the gym next. A challenging battle but still won without a single knock out on our side. When it finally came to move on he sat me down and presented the last of gifts, my own ball! And my word what a ball! Black, sleek and fancy with little gold trims. Ah i was over the moon but i only use it when Master is traveling, very comfy though. Very very comfy. I would have used it as a bed too but Master prefers it when i sleep next to him, to keep him safe and warm he says. 
Ah that reminds me of when i was first learning how to be a good trained pokemon, all these rules was confusing with not wearing my panties to bed but making sure to put them on when i woke up or eating the mint berries to make my breath nice. Not even going to go into the whole business with how to act in public, standing up tall but not doing this or that. So much work to be a trained pokemon but worth it.

We continued to travel like this for some time. Defeating gyms from smaller towns as we went deeper and deeper into the wilds, normal of course since this region is mostly thick vega..vegi..plants.

Eventually we settled down by a river, a cozy little spot far off the beaten path where we was going to stay and train for a good while. It was a great spot too, with fresh berries, the river right next to us, sand to the south, rocks to the north and trees all around.
But here is when he got out the TMs. Fancy little machines that can help us learn a move instantly! He had dozens too for all of us, to make us stronger and work better as a team. Finally he came to me and placed three TMs on the ground, he said to me. 
“With a stronger team now these are your new moves.” In that lovely deep voice of his. 

Now at first i was confused. The new moves meant my four choices was tailwhip, attract, rest and sleep talk. Not one attack move? Ah but Master is smart you see, he once beat a gym using nothing but poison and stalling! It is simple actually, tailwhip to lower defence, attract is like a confusion, rest lets me heal while putting me to sleep but countered by sleep talk which lets me act while asleep.

It was genius! I could strip defense and confuse my enemy while using sleep to heal with no down side. Or so i thought. He then said i was to be a “contest” pokemon, no battles but instead a whole new form of competition. Of course i was distressed and freaking out about being no use to the team but then he started to teach me...To be a contest pokemon is harder than battling. Rules. Hundreds of rules! You had to be smart, beautiful and charming.

I trained to be cute, how to shake my hips when walking or that adorable wink that he said the judges would love. It also meant i had to learn to bath myself, i had to be silky smooth and smell like a field of flowers for some reason but Master does join me in the bath to help out some days while doing his own daily rituals of cleaning. 

Then one night, when it came to bedtime and i returned to the tent i found Master already relaxing with a book. I always loved how we matched, with the panties i mean. I do not think his are called that by the way but still, he loved to sleep in the nude like i do, wearing panties when i did. If only i had clothing too to match but maybe that will come later.
So anyway. I walked into the tent as normal, zipping it up behind me of course to stop any of those nasty bugs, and removing my panties when he called me over.
I loved Master’s pettings, rubbing my ears, tickling my chin or rubbing my belly to make me laugh! 

Where was i? Oh right, he wanted to see a demonstration of my moves so he could see how good i was at them. He would act like judge too which was smart as always.
First up was attract, a cute little stance as i posed my hands and gave a wink. He quite liked that, rating it nearly perfect. Then was tailwhip, a smooth turn around as i wagged my tail playfully to which he rated it great but with needed work. The next thing i tried was rest which is when i curl up and go to sleep for a while adorably however...i was asleep so i did not know how the combo with sleep talk did till i woke. 

When i did he was quick to give me praise and cheers, amazing he called me but i think i was out for a since the tent was very hot and stuffy. Both of us was sweating quite a bit in fact which i think he noticed since he opened up the door to get some air. Refreshingly cool, always so kind. The downside to me being a fire type after all is that i have a lot of body heat but that is why i make a great bed warmer too, doubly so for the winters!
Next he gave him some advice on how to do the contest style moves better to which i practised all but rest, lest i waste time. My worst move to learn was tail whip by far too, i had to practice that over and over to get it just right.

The next week continued like this. Physical battle training in the day and then come night we would retire to the tent to practise contest moves. I learned quickly of course. Attract had more flare to it, tailwhip had a perfect turn to all fours with an almost rhythmic wag while rest and sleep talk was the highlight. It is just a shame i was asleep during it as every time i would wake up to see Master sitting there happy and cheering.

Then finally, yesterday night in fact, when i returned to the tent to practise my moves something was different. The petting went on longer than normal but i did not mind the tickling and tingling. Then we practised tail wag for ages, just when i thought i had it down i had to repeat it over and over! But it was my worst move so it did explain why i needed the practise. Master was very helpful too, sitting under his blanket as he instructed me to wag this way or that way for so long. I thought my tail was going to fall off!
Finally he was happy with my move and moved on to the next one, the big grand move that was going to floor them! But all the tail wagging and training must have tired me out as when i used rest i woke up the next morning beside Master. It was the best night sleep i had ever had though. Just, a shame that Master had forgotten to the open the door before going to sleep as the tent was so hot and stank bad with both our scents. At least i proved to be a good girl as i managed to get out of his sweaty hug to open the door, he would be upset if he woke up to all these bad smells and heat!

He was not upset when he woke up though oh no. He gave me pats and treats and told me that i had done the best routine yet, i was so proud! Sore though. All that practise really left my legs aching but when he found out he gave me the day off from training as well, truly kind. 

Anyway. This has been the first entry to my diary that Master had got for me. It took me a while to learn how to write but apparently my “psychic” type helps when it comes to this. Master says i should now keep it up with it every night when i come to the tent, beside training and other stuff it sure is hard to be a contest pokemon. Very fun though! Ah Master has returned from the river so i will write more come tomorrow, i dunno who would read this but i find it fun and keeps the mind sharp which is good for a soon to be contest winner.
