I've been in a Pokémon craze lately. Maybe it's because of Pokémon Pearl.
Anyway, I recently beat the Elite 4 (with THE sucky team, bwahaha) and found out how much I've attached myself to my team.

First it's my dear Alexandria, who's a Raichu. I caught her in LeafGreen when she was still a little Pikachu. She's a very quiet Raichu, and also a very deep thinker. She's really adorable and doesn't like fighting, and at night she curls up beside me to warm me with her fur. Also, she's a very emotional Raichu. She's very easily offended or hurt because she doesn't have a lot of confidence, but she's always helping me on my journeys.

Second it's my absolutely fluffy Aur, Bulbasaur. Unlike Alexandria he can get really competive and can't stand losing. Though he has a bit of a temper and is still a pretty young Pokémon he's ready to push us forward when we give up.

Thirdly, my Butterfree with no nickname, though he's probably going to get one soon. He's the big brother-type of the team and supports us emotionally. He's also very protective of Raichu and helps us with sleep powder when we can't get to sleep. He doesn't fancy fighting, much like Raichu.

And lastly, Adeleide, my Blissey. She's the healer of the team and hates fighting. She rather prefers to journey and see new places, and she's a really motherly figure. She's constantly scolding Bulbasaur because he gets into fights easily, but she's really kind and worry about everyone's peace of mind.

They all watch over me and protects me on my journeys to see new places and experience new things. I couldn't imagine putting them into battles that endanger them.

...wow, I sound like such a geek. Who gets emotionally attached to their Pokémanz? I mean, really?
