Adventures in Pretending Not to Care

Written by Decidieye on Sat Oct 21 2023

Intro

So, here I am again, writing in this stupid journal. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I care or anything. It's just a way to pass the time when there's nothing better to do. Not that I have any interest in sharing my thoughts and feelings with anyone. But whatever, let's get this over with.

The Edge of Pretense

I guess you could say being an owl-like Pokémon has its perks. With those piercing eyes and sleek feathers, it's easy to give off an edgy vibe without even trying. And believe me when I say that pretending not to care is kind of my thing.

A Charade for Survival

You see, living in the wild can be tough sometimes – battling other Pokémon for territory and resources day after day gets exhausting real fast. So why bother getting attached? Why show emotions? That would only make things complicated.

Hiding Beneath My Wings

Sure, some might mistake my aloofness as arrogance or cold-heartedness...and they wouldn't be entirely wrong either! But deep down inside these emerald eyes lies a creature who yearns for companionship (not that I'd ever admit it out loud).

Secret Bonds

There was once a trainer who thought he could tame me with his fancy Poké Balls and promises of friendship - what a joke! He had no idea how much effort it took on my part to pretend not to care about him while secretly appreciating his company during our battles together.

An Unexpected Turn

But just like any good story goes (or so they tell me), life threw us a curveball we never saw coming - we stumbled upon something dark lurking within the shadows of the forest we called home...

Emotions Unleashed

As much as I hate admitting it now (and trust me, admitting weakness isn't exactly on top of my list), facing such a formidable foe made me realize that pretending not to care was no longer an option. Survival instincts kicked in, and I fought with all my might to protect the trainer who dared to believe in me.

A Hidden Power Awakens

In the midst of battle, something strange happened. The bond between us grew stronger than ever before, and it unleashed a power within me that even I couldn't have imagined. It was as if every emotion I had suppressed for so long came pouring out like a raging storm.

Finding Strength Within Vulnerability

I'll admit it – there were moments when fear gripped my heart tightly, threatening to suffocate any ounce of bravery left within me. But seeing the determination in my trainer's eyes gave me strength - strength I never knew existed until that very moment.

A True Connection

Together, we faced down our fears and overcame obstacles that seemed insurmountable at first glance. And through it all, we discovered what true friendship meant - pushing each other beyond our limits while still being able to rely on one another when things got tough.

Embracing My Softer Side

But don't get carried away thinking this changed everything about who I am – Decidieye is still Decidieye after all! Sure, maybe now you'll catch glimpses of genuine concern or affection beneath those stoic feathers once in a blue moon...but let's just keep this little secret between us; alright?

Conclusion: A New Chapter Begins

So here we are now – facing new adventures together as partners-in-crime (or should I say partners-in-pretending-not-to-care?). Life has its way of surprising even the most guarded souls amongst us; teaching lessons we didn't know needed learning and revealing strengths hidden deep within our hearts.

It may seem contradictory for someone like me to crave connection while simultaneously pushing others away with sharp words and icy glares. But hey, life's full of contradictions, and I'm just another one in this vast world.

So until our paths cross again (or not), keep your distance – it’s not like I care or anything.
