I'm not one to waste time, so I'm going to get straight to the point. My name is Freya Lyon, I'm 16, and I want to become a Pokemon Trainer and when I do - whether it be with your help or via some other means - I'm going to become the Pokemon League Champion, that you can count on. I'm not doing this for fame, I'm not doing this for friends, and I'm not doing this to fulfill some starry-eyed fools dream. Simply put, I'm doing this for me. Unlike the thousands of children that have likely sent you messages begging you to give them a chance, you don't need to take one with me. I've proven time and time again in my life that when something needs to be done, I get results. Don't feel like wasting this opportunity on someone who thinks they can handle more than they actually can? Good, because I'm right here.
Now that that's out of the way, I'll tell you a bit more about myself and what's led me to sending this to you. I've grown up in the Kalos region, specifically Laverre City. I'm a single child with a drunk and broke dad left to 'raise' me, and by that I mean sit on the couch and do absolutely nothing. Having a job that earns next to nothing, spending most of that money on alcohol instead of caring for his child, and not exactly treating me well when drunk off his ass; Yeah, I wouldn't say he was a very good parent to me. I had to learn to care for myself very early on because it became quite damn obvious that no one else would. While all the other kids were out goofing off, I was busy mowing lawns, babysitting brats, and earning money so I could wear some half decent clothes. Of course, I could care less what those other kids did. I'm not exactly the type of person to associate myself with those who'd shun a girl because her clothes were dirty or she hadn't showered in a while or she fell asleep in class often, not even asking if she could afford running water or had to exhaust herself the day prior.
Anyways, long story short I was eventually taken by child protective services and given a new foster family. They give me food and clothes and actually have water that I can bathe in so I shouldn't complain, but it's not like they care about me. It's obvious they only took me for the extra money as they mostly just ignore me. They don't take me out to eat or tell me 'good job' when I do something right or do anything a parent should be doing for their daughter. I don't deserve to be ignored. I work harder than anyone my age, do everything I can to be the best, but still no one even looks in my direction or bothers to give me praise. It's despicable. That's why I'm going to become champion. Everyone watches Cynthia on TV when she battles, so if no one wants to give me the attention I deserve I'll simply force them to. And before you ask, yes I do have some experience with Pokemon. The fan club isn't too far from my house after all. I go there often and spend some time with the Zigzagoon and Chimecho there. It's... kind of fun.
Well, I think you understand what I'm trying to tell you now. If you let me to become a Trainer you will get results from me. I'm not going to fold at the first signs of trouble unlike the hundreds of other babies asking you for the same opportunity. Allow me to prove my worth, to both you and the world, and I will do more than you could possibly imagine. However, just know that whether you choose me or not this won't be the last time you hear of me. I don't need you for this, and if need be I'll go elsewhere to achieve my goals. Thank you for reading this letter, and I hope you make the right decision.
