Peppermint is the daughter of Mint the shiny houndoom. She was born
when the search for Ashpaw ( the sister of Mint) had just begun.
She always got picked on for her blue color and that made her wish
she was normal. The only thing keeping her from running away was
her mom who never teased her or picked on her. * I'll stay because
of you,mom* is what she would always think when she got bullied.
This was all until they ran into pokemon hunters. When they were in
the woods looking for a home, Peppermint looked away and..*Bang*
there was a loud noise. That and the sound of something falling
behind her. When she turned around, she saw her mom laying
motionless in the snow behind her. 'N-no...Mom!' She didn't know
what to do or say. She fell down to the ground crying.The only
reason for her staying alive had just died behind her...
Peppermint layed by her unmoving mom crying.' Oh no..what will I
tell Ashpaw? I can't just say that her sister died.' She sat there
wondering what to tell Ashpaw and who would look after her now that
her mom is gone. A few hours after burying her mom and putting a
rose on top of the snow, she had made her way to where Ashpaw was
last seen: in a hotel. As soon as she walked in, she saw Ashpaw,
the one her mom died trying to find. ' umm Ashpaw? I've been
looking for you everywhere and I don't know how to say this
but....' Ashpaw looked at her like she didn't recognize her for a
moment. " Is that you? I've heard my sister had a kid but I didn't
know it would be shiny like her and...wait where is my sister? She
said she would find me soon." Peppermint didn't know what to say.'
Umm I dont know how to say this but...Mint died. She was shot by
hunters.' She saw Ashpaw's eyes fill with tears." No-no this can't
be...we promised that if we die, we go down together..."Peppermint
sat there silently.' It does pain me that my mom died trying to
find you, but I need someone to take care of me and I was wondering
if you could adopt me?'" Sure, I mean you are all I have left of my
sister I guess."....*Bang* that noise sounded familiar and it came
from outside the hotel, then there was a scream...
When they heard the loud bang, Ashpaw just had to be the one to go
outside. After a few minutes, Peppermint was tired of waiting
until-* bang* after the bang, followed a small and painful howl.
Peppermint didnt think much of it until it came to her mind: that
Ashpaw was dead.
' no-no she promised she would come back! Why did the hunters have
to come here..' Peppermint ran into the room that once belonged to
Ashpaw and cried in the bed. But as soon as she was about to go to
sleep, she heard foot steps in the hall outside of the room, ones
that sounded human: hunters were coming. They had followed her into
the room. She ran and hid on top of the fridge.' Good thing I
learned how to climb this kind of material.' When the foot steps
stopped, the door to the room burst open....and they were the
hunters and Ashpaw. When she saw Ashpaw with them she just thought
they had forced her to come." Oh Peppermint where are you? I worked
for these hunters tracking you and my sister down. You really think
I was sad? Well there is something called..hmm I don't know.
Pretending? Hahaha."' How is Ashpaw even alive?' Is what Peppermint
was thinking.
All Peppermint was thinking about is how Ashpaw was alive.' How did
she make that death howl and still be alive? It makes no sense on
why she would want to kill me and my mom either..' when she looked
over from the top of the fridge she saw Ashpaw looking right at her
with the biggest and most evil grin she had ever seen." There you
are Peppermint. I hate to say this and all but freaks like you
should be dying from how different you are. It's a shame how my mom
treated Mint better then me since she was blue and not normal. If I
were her, I would've killed her on sight." 'W-why are you doing
this Ash? I thought you were nice!" Ashpaw looked at her like she
was crazy" Well heres the thing Peppermint, not only humans can
change over time but us pokemon can to. And so that's what I did
after I discovered that I had the power to kill my parents after I
escaped from a lab." Peppermint let out a cry as Ashpaw Clawed a
scar into her face." Oh how long I waited for this moment..."
As the claw of Ashpaw slowly carved her name in Peppermint's
face,Peppermint had more and more tears in her eyes from how much
pain there was.'please stop aunt, it hurts. Why do you want to
carve your name into me?' Ashpaw had the biggest grin on her face.
"Oh this? I'm just putting my signature into your face so people
know I killed you my self when they see your ugly blue head on my
wall! Just like Mint."* Ashpaw dug her claw farther into
Peppermint's face . "And never ever call me aunt. I hate how I'm
related to an ugly good for nothing blue houndour like you!"* she
made her claw strike across Peppermint's face and blinded one
eye...
The houndour didn't know what to say. 'So you told the hunters to
kill my mom...didn't you!'Ashpaw grinned again." Yes and I dont
regret it either. You have been stalling long enough soooooo time
to die!" When Ashpaw went for the killing blow, a blue light
surrounded Peppermint: she was evolving. When the light that was
blinding Ashpaw dissapeared,the neck that she was holding no longer
belonged to a houndour,but to a houndoom,one that wanted revenge.
Ashpaw smirked." So you evolved huh? Well I'll just kill you like
this--" A set of fangs dug into her neck as she fell to the
ground,the shadows fading from her as she turned to a gray
color...then there no longer stood a blue houndoom but a blue
houndour.' How? I evolved but I'm a houndour again?'....
