:Flackback Explaining Kyra's Fear of Relationships:
It was Kyra's last year at Sinnoh Region Middle. She'd finally evolved- a lot later than the others, but she'd evolved regardless. Finally!
A new Leafeon roaming the school. Her best (and only) friend, Lynn, who was a Delcatty, was walking beside her and with her boyfriend, who was a Mightyena by the name of Yin.
"I'll be right back! Maddie's over there, she's calling for me." Lynn chimed, rushing away towards a Kirlia who was waving frantically for her. This left Kyra and Yin.
"Follow me." Yin murmured, nudging Kyra and gesturing for her to follow. Awkwardly, the Leafeon obeyed, looking back at Lynn before following.
"What're we doing?" the younger creature asked softly, as they walked.
"Having fun." was his response, quickly shoving her against a wall. She gritted her teeth, staring at him.
"What the hell, Yin? Get- get off me!" she yelped, squirming. He persisted.
"Go out with me, Kyra. We both know Lynn is too bubbly. Too sweet. Too innocent." he whispered. "You have a more mature mind, don't you? You'd like our relationship. Promise."
"Yin, I- I really don't- please, get off- I just-" she croaked, unable to form words. Her face was red and she couldn't do anything. By the sounds of it, Yin heard something before she could.
He spun around, putting himself on the wall and throwing the Leafeon to him.
"What the hell, Kyra?! Get off of me! I'm dating Lynn!" he screeched.
"Kyra...?"
Kyra's head snapped forward to see Lynn looking petrified and staring. She stumbled off, staring at both of them.
"I don't-! I didn't... he-..." she whispered, feeling tears form in her eyes. She wasn't an easy crier, but she couldn't help but feel the hot liquid bubble up in her eyes.
"How could you?" Lynn sobbed, loud and dramatic as always. Tears streaming down her face, she sprinted away, Yin following her after shooting her a deathly glare.
And the Leafeon cried. She stumbled into the wall, leaning against it, and she cried.
About a week later, Yin started spreading rumors. About how she insisted they fooled around, how no matter how hard he denied, she continued. How she tried to break Lynn and Yin up. How, after they did break up, she finally got what she wanted.
Lynn spread rumors, too. How she hated her, how she talked bad about her every chance she got. How she tried to get any guy to be with her. How she was such a prick.
And so, when the year finally ended, so did Kyra's time at Sinnoh Region Middle.
She'd taken some time off from school, past summer. Three months exactly. She moved pretty far away, and that thoroughly explained why Kyra had been a new girl at Pokemon High, and how she'd been a month behind.
:End Flashback:
Kyra muttered an awkward "bye" as Sythn left, and she leaned against the wall as she had last year, minus the feeling violated and tears part. She kind of just... sat there, a dull look in her multicolored gaze. She swallowed the lump that seemed to form in her throat.
Stop being so sensitive.
Nobody cares about your dumb problems! Others have it so much worse, so just shut up!
Swear to Arceus if you cry...
Kyra kind of had this... thing. When she got upset, she attacked herself. Verbally and mentally. It wasn't the most fun. At all. But it was Kyra.
