Equal Treatment

It’s been quiet for a few days now.

I’ve been standing inside this Pokémon center for who knows how long but I’m sure you’ll come back and play again. My journey will be back in progress again!

…Okay. You traded away most of Pokémon for stuff I don’t think we’ll be able to get far with. Who’s Dawn. Why do I need to keep giving all my Pokémon to her? Does she need them more than I do?

No. No. No. Why are you resetting everything? We can just get my Pokémon back from her but I guess not.

This time we got really far! All the way to the spear pillar & we battled Cyrus. Your control allowed me to reach Giratina but then you stopped in front of it. Then I had to face it over, over, over and over until it was different in appearance.

Then you directed me out of this upside down world & to the Pokémon center.

Where I gave Giratina to Dawn. Again. I gave something important of mine to her. Then you reset everything again. Why do I never get to keep what I find? Why must I give everything to her?

Maybe next time you’ll let me have everything to my self & a fulfilled journey.

It’s been a little while now & again I had to give everything to Dawn again but that’s okay! I’m sure…I’m sure you only do this because you aren’t satisfied with the progress we’ve made.

I was wrong.

I was so wrong.

I was wrong to think this repetitive cycle of being used to benefit another was going to end because once you were satisfied you’ve just thrown me aside.

I can’t remember my name.

Not like I have one because each time what I was given for a name was either a joke or something crude.

My Pokémon.

What are they like? Where are they. I know where they are.

Everything that was given to me and that was found by me…was given to her. Forcefully. Forced to give it all to her.

It’s dark. I now don’t know how many times I’ve been ‘reset’. You threw me aside and for what? But then again was I ever really treated fair? It’s a joke. I’m a joke.

You fawn over this other girl. This other ‘file’. This other ‘copy’. The progress she made that I never got to make or at least keep once because I had been used for her gain..no your gain. I was reset and shut off into the dark again.

Each. Time.

I can’t be upset with her, be upset with ‘Dawn’. She’s not to blame in all of this.

At the end of the day she is used as much as me.

Using people isn’t nice.

I want her gone. Again. I know it isn’t her fault but if I get rid of her then will I finally get to do everything she did? Will I get to go on a journey,

I’ve been insulted.

I’ve been degraded.

You treated an extra copy like trash to benefit a better copy.

So why do you look so surprised when you start up your game and your ‘precious’ Dawn isn’t there? I got rid of her, like how you got rid of me so many times. Now her & I are equal.

I look a lot like her anyway.

But I guess my empty eyes and monochrome palette aren’t as ‘vibrant’ or ‘cute’ to you.

This is just Equal Treatment.

Or that’s how I view it.
