A ninetales was chatting with a pidgey, Unbeknown to the pidgey that the ninetales was blind. 
	“Clara, why do you not try to eat me?” Asked the pidgey.
	“Michel, I cannot see you. I can feel, smell, and hear you, but I will never see you. I was hatched blind. I never saw my parents. One day a trainer picked me up and took me to his house. He never really trained me. He taught me how to find things and allowed me to enhance my remaining senses. One day some time late I wondered away and never found my way home. I ate roots and berries most of the time. Sometimes I scavenged remains of what others killed. I don’t know what or type you are. I may never know what you look like.” 
	She rubbed her leg next to his feathers. “Michel, what are those?”
	He replied, “They are my feathers and I am a flying type. I am a pidgey. You are a ninetales. You are a fire type fox. Most ninetales have red eyes, but yours are white. I was wondering what you did in that house Clara?”
	“I woke you and ate a meal before my trainer left of something. Later I tried to hunt rattatas before a person gave me paper with sharp edges. He gave me some food every day before I left the paper on the table.” 
	“That was a mail man, or mail woman. I think you got mail from them. They go to all human houses most days. Please continue.” 
	“I was content sometimes wanting to see the world so to speak. I was stopped by a fence so then I would take a nap in the yard until my trainer came home.
	Then one day my pleasant life became a nightmare. That is when I decided to try to run away.”
	“What change there Clara?” 
	“Michel, a new pokémon came into the house. I heard his steps and went to instigate. He said he was from far away place. His name was Lee. He was a liepard and he felt like he had short hair. He asked me why I asked so many questions. I told him I was blind from hatching. His story was he was a gift to my trainer from unova. He evolved from a purrloin during his training.
	When my trainer was around Lee was nice to me, but when my trainer was not around Lee took my food and forced me outside. My only comfort was the mail person. I think it was a man. I ate rattatas to survive outside. I hated the taste but every time I attempted to enter the house I was beaten in a battle and kicked outside. Lee hated me with a passion. One day my trainers’ sister came to take care of us and she liked Lee more than me. My trainer favored me more and protected me. I wandered away but, decided to return in hope my trainer would return. I had to live and get fed outside or be severely injured. Lee said, I was worthless in battle and should not have survived. It then got worst for me. The mailman was the only one to give me love and attention.
	The mail man told me my trainer had died and he was his grandson. I went to the funeral, I felt my trainers face it was true. I lived with the mailman until my trainers’ sister took me and Lee to her ranch. I was lost, and this place was huge. I stayed near the house so could get some food from the house. I hated it there, I tried to please her and she allowed Lee to hurt me and abuse me. I was always hungry and cold. Some of the other pokémon protected me in the winter that was the only time I felt safe there. I was forced to run away from that place.” 
	“How mean was Lee to you Clara?” Asked Michel.
	“He forced himself on me every chance he got. I was living in terror. The first time it felt like spring when he when after me. He bit the back of my neck and thrust somebody part in me. He smelled excited. I screamed and pleaded for him to stop. When he did, I ran anywhere I could but, he always found me.”
	Michel said, “He raped you. He put his penis in your vagina. Why would he do that? Is that why you ran away?”
	Clara continued, “I do not know why he did it, that is not the reason I ran. Soon he forced himself many times a day. Right after he had a meal. I gave in and was tired of running. I did not know where I was and when he would go after me again, I felt like a piece of meat, I wanted to die. One day I heard him coming and dogged him. I knocked him over and looked for the thing he put in me. I found it and a sack attached to it. I bit the sack and he screamed in pain. He pleaded for me to let him go. He would do anything if I let go of his egg makers. I bit harder and he was in pain. I tasted salt and iron as I ripped and twisted the sack off him. I finally had the upper hand and ate it out of spite. He had fainted. Another pokémon told me to run now. I had eliminated her prized breeding stud. She was going to kill or harm me for that. I took the advice. The pokémon showed me the way out and told me to never return. Her name was Mary and she knew what he did to me all the time. I ran for days following the trail until I felt safe.”
	“You castrated him. Please never do that to me ever.” Michel said.
	“I won’t, I felt he deserved it. I then was starving and tired. I found a colony of persians. The head female felt sorry for me and let me stay as a day watch for a while. The head male made sure I was never force to mate again. I think he was scared of what I did. I mated with one persian out of consent. I really cared for him and enjoyed the sex. When I found out, he was capture by a trainer I was depressed and stayed in the cave hiding not wanting to eat. I decided to eat and then left the persians to try to find a better life.
	You found me one day; I was lost alone, and near dead. You literally save my life. I would be lost without you.”
	Michel asked, “if you are blind how, do you battle?”
	“I feel the ground, listen, and small for the opponent. It freaks out most trainers who try to capture me. I avoid the attacks and poké balls. I wear out my opponent before I strike. If the trainer realizes I am blind they leave, who wants a blind pokémon? If they catch me, they let me go thinking I am useless. 
	The only time that did not work was when I found a human and I acted like I was deaf to. They took me in a huge house. I was lost there. The yard was massive. This butler was annoyed that I fallowed him for the first week. I followed him to know where everything was. I was soon full and I was not hungry, but I did not feel safe. I left soon after they found out who I was registered to. I was scared and ran away. If I was near a pokémon center I stumbled in and hit the walls. The Nurse Joy would feed me and take care of me until I ran away. Doctors kept trying to get me to see and study me. That is why I ran away. Being blind made me special. I got lots of attention because I was blind. I want to stay blind; I do not want to see the world. I would not know you if I could see. I have no preconceptions of you as food. I think of you as a friend and guide. I think we are being fallowed by a group of seven. They have surrounded us; I think we should be quiet.”
	“Well boys, it looks like we found a potential alpha female and a snack. Give up; you are surrounded.” 
	Clara asked Michel, “who said that? He smelled sexually excited.”
	Michel responded, “it is an arcanine. I think he wants to eat me. Please save me from that fate” Clara. 
	Clara spoke, “I know there are six other around us and you want to mate, but if you want to keep your egg makers keep them locked up and do not eat my guide. If you spare my guide you might get lucky tomorrow. If I could see you I would speak in front of you but, I cannot see. I do not like being treated like a piece of meat again. I ripped his egg makers off and ate them.” Six of them backed off quickly.
	The arcanine stayed and asked a question. “What do you mean if I could see?”
	She responded, “I am blind from hatching. What do you mean by potential alpha female, what happened to your old alpha?”
	“She was captured by a trainer.” The arcanine said. “There are no females old enough to breed left, you are clearly old enough to bread. Come with us and nether of you will be harmed. You are young enough to have lots of eggs. I will not mate with you until you are ready, you have my word. If you choose not to come you will both be killed right now. What is your choice?”
	Clara though for a moment, “I guess I will come with you lead the way.” When they arrived at the shelter Michel looked around. 
	Clara, “there are no adult females around and many houndour pups. They are all very young. Their shelter is a cave.”  
	Michel asked a mightyena where all the females were. The mightyena told him that team magma captured them all. Clara overheard this. 
	She was talking to the arcanine as she felt around him to figure out what he looked like. He had soft, mid length fur. 
	“You have a lot of fur what do I call you?”
	“You can call me Henry. How long have you been blind? I have never seen of heard of a blind pokémon. What color are your eyes?”
	“I have been blind since hatching. I was told my eyes are white. I am thirsty and hungry where is the nearest source of water?”
	Henry said, “I will guide you.” 
	Clara yelled at Michel, “are you coming along?” He flew and landed on her back. He did not trust the others.
	Shortly they arrived at the stream. Clara got a drink and took a rest. 
	“Henry, if you have so many young that sound healthy why do you need a new alpha female so badly?”
	“Clara, most young we have are too young to breed. Trainers find our young and capture them. We constantly need to replenish or group to stay a group. We have no more adult females in the group. It there are no young males act strangely around any females. Without an alpha female the group will fall apart.”
	Clara spoke, “I do not smell Michel around where is he?” 
	Henry replied, “he found some food in the bushes across the stream. I can see him right now. All I am asking is for you to stay until we find a new female to lead the group. Stay with us for a year and then you can leave whenever you want. I am the alpha because I fathered the last litter. You can pick from any male in the group. Will you please stay?”
	“Sure, but no sex until I know everyone better. I am blind not stupid.” Clara replied. 
	“I can live with that.” Henry said.

	Weeks later she laid six eggs. She had hatched one egg once but, not six. Michel stayed around to help her raise the eggs. Henry and Clara took turns setting the eggs. She was setting when the eggs hatched. They could see and were normal. Her pups were a month old when she smelled a familiar scent. Michel was watching in a tree and noticed she was shaking and trembling in fear. The others noticed a human female, as Michel flew for help. She called her pups into the cave, and she was surrounding her pups shaking in fear. 
	“It has been a while since I saw you Clara. You ripped my egg makers off. I plan to kill you. My trainer sold everything to kill you and ruin your life. Anyone in my way will die.” 
	A flood of memories from the ranch came to her; she was paralyzed in fear.
	Henry stepped in, “Then you will be incinerated and your trainer mutilated. Probably eat you two later. Any others in your party will be freed. It sounds like you have a poor trainer. Your trainer must be a horrible trainer.”
	Lee rushed Clara and was incinerated with five flamethrowers. Clara was remembering Richards raping her multiple time. She was extremely defensive from anyone approaching her. She had night terrors for two days. The others found the trainer and killed her. There were three others that were released. One chose to stay after hearing who the alpha female name. He asked if she was blind and a ninetales. They were surprised how he knew. He told them she was at a colony of Persians when he met her. They let him see her after two days. She recognized his smell. “Is it you Kevin? I thought you were captured?”	
	“I was captured and was hungry all the time. She kept looking for one Pokémon. I never told Lee about us when I figured out it was you. I still love you, do you still love me?”
	“I never stopped.” She replied to him. 
	“I was told to ask if I want to stay. May I stay?”
	“You can stay as long as you want.”
