>>56164720People bullied Penny for many things. Some people thought she smelled bad, some made fun of her hair, others just found her obsession with Eevee really annoying. Some even spread false rumours about her having sex with her Pokémon, which quickly spread like wildfire throughout the school, somehow making her even more unpopular than she already was, as well as making her feel slightly ashamed of her love for her favourite Pokémon. She quickly became a shut-in, spending most of her time in her room, only going outside so Leafeon could get some sunlight. She was always rather quiet and reserved, but what she experienced at the academy made her reclusive habits a lot worse. Her family knew something was up with her, no matter how much she tried to convince them otherwise. The closest thing she had to “friends” was team star, and even then, she never spoke to them face to face. If only she could talk to someone who truly gets her, who truly makes her feel loved and accepted. Someone who she can truly consider a “friend”. But nobody wants to be friends with a shy, nerdy girl like her. Right…?
