Melody sat among the congregation of her fellow gijinkas, silently listening as person after person stood up in front of everyone and shared something about themselves. She shifted in her seat uncomfortably, glancing around the room at semi-familiar faces. The last thing she wanted to do was give some speech about her life to about twenty people. Quite a few people had taken their turn already, and it would only be a matter of time before everyone's eyes would fall expectantly upon her. Her mind was going at a mile a minute, frantically attempting to come up with a foolproof excuse about why she couldn't take part in the show and tell session, if one could call it that.
Estelle's eyes swooped over the room, a patient smile gracing her lips. "Does anyone wish to volunteer to have a go at it next?" she inquired. Silence met her pause, so she then continued: "No? Well, I suppose I'll pick someone from-"
"Bathroom!"
All pairs of peepers became fixed on Melody, who was the one responsible for the outburst. She was standing as straight as a lamppost and clutching at her abdomen with a grimace on her face, trying her hardest to look uncomfortable. Pulling a stunt like this was the only idea that had come to her mind, and though she had scoffed at the sheer simplicity of it, it was actually a perfect escape plan. Andreas, who was seated beside her, stared into her pained-looking countenance with laughter dancing in his icy blue eyes. He saw right through her act, and was highly amused by it, but said nothing nevertheless.
Estelle blinked, thinking her answer over, and then sighed. "I guess it can't be helped," she said. "When you gotta go, you gotta go. Just be sure to hurry back!"
Melody didn't even wait to give her gratitude. She sprang for the door, wrenching it open and flinging herself into the hallway without a second thought. Her feet thundered against the marble floor as she galloped over to a nearby bathroom. She entered the lavatory and swung the door shut in one swift motion, letting out a loud gasp of relief. She paused for a moment to catch her breath, then strolled over to one of the stalls and locked herself inside. She reached the toilet, shut the lid, and sat down on it, placing her head in her hands.
I couldn't do it, Melody thought. I would have stood up there like an idiot. What could I have told them? "Hello, my name's Melody. I lived a wonderful life with my mother, father, brother, and friends, until one day, when I was fifteen, Bounty Hunters kidnapped me. They forced me to undergo the cruelest experiments. I stayed in captivity for two years, and during that time I met Andreas, who's sitting right over there. Recently, I was able to make my escape, so now I'm a wanted fugitive, meaning if the Bounty Hunters spot any of you with me, they will most likely shoot you on sight." See how stupid that sounds? I'd probably become all flustered, and blush and stutter my way through the whole thing. Then they would all think, "Aw, Melody's so cute! She seems like she couldn't hurt a fly! I don't think we should let her fight the next time we have to face the Bounty Hunters; she'd probably get all rattled up, the poor girl!"
The female Mudkip shook her head violently, vaguely aware of the hot tears rolling down her cheeks and the sound of the bathroom door opening ever-so-quietly. I always give people the wrong impression, she told herself. They think that I'm not as smart or capable of doing big things as I really am. I always come off as a shy female. I'm not shy! I'm just a little awkward, that's all! I try to emulate what the other, more outgoing girls do, like how Lupe talks, or how Hoom deals with Lux's attention. But I always fail, don't I? Every time, I end up being a Mudkip-colored wallflower. I'm a failure. I failed my family and childhood friends when those Bounty Hunters tied the blindfold around my eyes and stuffed the gag into my mouth. I failed Andreas when I ran away from the base without taking him with me. I failed my fellow gijinkas when I was struck down by Lux's measly Thunderbolt. I'm going to fail Sheek too, because if I haven't been able to deliver her message up until now, then I never will.
Melody pulled her knees up to her forehead and wrapped her arms around her legs, crying as silently as she could. "All I had wanted to do was see my mother and father and big brother Swampert again," she sobbed. "If that could have happened, then I never would have had been able to cause so much trouble for everyone."
Everyone says that life's not fair, but this is absolutely ridiculous.
Continue?
Melody.

Hey, what can I say? Even the sturdiest castle's walls will eventually crumble.
I should get some damn good Berry Points for this
Inside that mansion there seemed like there was a perfect room for everyone. Everyone except me. Luckily a bird type gijinka put up a sketch of the area. It was closest thing I would find of a map. In the forest there was a bunch of interconnecting ice caves. Just like home at Mt.Silver. I figured I'd settle down there for a little while until the road to Mt.Silver is cleared. I've made it through the forest and now I'm at the entrance of the caves. I can feel a cold draft and smell the dampness of the caves. Perfect.
*CCRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSHHHHHHH*
I hear a giant sound, it sounds like a really powerful attack. Maybe earthquake. Stalactites are falling everywhere. Oh well. I run in using dragon dance to dodge the falling missiles. I might as well get used to my new environment. I enter a giant cavern. I see all these ice type gijinkas with a mamoswine at head ganging up on a single Luxray gijinka.
I think its time I introduce myself to my new neighbours.
So I run up to the mamoswine and used stone edge in his eye.
~Larri~
Continue please?
And gawd you guys post so much. I had 5 pages to catch up on.
My head was throbbing from hitting the ground. I have no idea but I knew I fell for at least 10 seconds. I was staring up where I fell and saw that it was pretty far up to try and jump it. I rolled over on my side and painfully got up. I haven’t really healed from my injuries from my battle with the others when my dark side was in control and my powers hadn’t returned yet. If anyone attacked me I would be in trouble. I got up and tried to find a way out, but this time I already lost the Froslass’ scent.
I walked into the darkness again with the little spark above my finger I was freezing. It was everywhere and icicles hung down from the ceiling, it was very beautiful but for someone who was dressed for a nice warm day in the summer well I probably would catch a cold or something.
“ACHOO!” I sneezed. I heard echos of it within the cave. It was kind of creepy but I ignored it. I continued to walk through the cave and eventually I found an exit. I walked out into a snowy area with many trees and loads of snow all over the ground.
“Oh great paradise!” I sarcastically said keeping both arms around my chest. The snow was heavy when going threw the snow. I just sank down into it every step I took. All of a sudden I got the girl’s scent back but it was strange because I was picking up a bunch at one time. They were unfamiliar, than it hit me. I was surrounded.
“Well look what we have here?” a deep voice said from behind me. I turned quickly to see who it was. A huge Mamoswine was standing on top of the rocks above the cave exit I just left. He was built like a bulldozer and looked very irritated. I than scanned my surroundings and saw many Swinubs and Piloswine around me.
“Ummm I mean no harm.” I said with a chill. “I didn’t come to hurt anyone I am just looking for a Froslass girl. Did you happen to see her?” I put my hands in the air to show that I came in peace and wasn't looking for a battle.
“You are in our territory boy!” He snorted. “You have no business here.”
Did he just ignore me? I thought.
“Please sir. I do not wish to battle I am looking for a Frosslass girl. Please have you seen her?” I asked again walking closer to him.
“Rock Slide!” He screamed.
All of a sudden tons of borders were falling down the mountain side right at me. I dodged them and flew myself backwards.
“That girl you speak of! She does not belong with you. She belongs with the snow and ice. She is one of us boy. You pokemon of non-ice types would never understand. Now leave before I kill you.” He exclaimed walking down the mountain side.
“I’m not leaving with out her or at least hearing her side of the story. Besides you have no right to tell me what she HAS to do. If she decides to stay that’s fine but she will tell me that to my face and not have the decision made for her. You got that piggy?” I snapped.
“You will pay for your stupidity boy!” He yelled. “Everyone use icy wind!”
An Icy Wind came at me and I countered it with a bit of thunderbolts. It was enough to block it since it wasn’t that powerful. I could handle weak attacks but even from that I was out of breath. The Mamoswine just smirked and stomped his feet. Snow grabbed onto my feet and I couldn’t break lose. I was frozen to the ground. I looked up nervous at this Mammouth. I knew he was going to attack but with what?
“Earthquake….” He muttered….
“Hic!” I smirked with a chuckle and with a sweat drop. “I’m in trouble.”
-END-
