Addiction

Part 1

Jamie came into the room and sat down on his bed. "Yet another very boring day at school..." He murmured. It had been another very uninteresting day for Jamie at school again. He got up and went downstairs to check the mail. "Let's see. Boring paperwork, Dad's bills, Mum's bills, more boring paper work, finally! My comic has arrived!" said Jamie happily as he took the book upstairs to read.

It was pretty much the same old stuff, the newest comic strip, competitions, prizes, latest news, until he reached something he had never seen before. It was advertising a Soul Silver pokemon game with the Poke-walker and a free Lugia figure. But Jamie wasn't interested in pokemon. He flicked over to the next page ignoring the advert. But something made him stop. He looked back at the advertisement. It was the Lugia illustration he was staring at. He couldn't stop looking at it, with all its elegance and beauty.

From that day forward, his life would never be the same again, for he was addicted, to this creature, this Lugia, and he would suffer dire consequences.

2 months later...

"Oh, my head..." thought Jamie as he opened his eyes. But he was shocked by what he saw. There was no bedroom where he once was. It was gone. There was not even the house where he once was. It was gone. Still dazed, Jamie lifted up. He froze when he saw himself. "No..." thought Jamie unbelievingly. He was a Lugia...and his life would never be the same.

Part 2

At a nearby science lab, scientists looked at the photos of the Lugia.

"Impossible, it's just impossible... You know, I'm thinking that these images are faked..."

"What? So you believe the armed forces would lie to us? I don't think so."

"Well why don't we just go and see if it's real rather than making a fuss of it."

So the scientists got into the helicopter in search of the Lugia to see if it was real.

About two hours into the flight, a few of the scientists doubted whether they would ever find this bird thing.

"Come on already, we're wasting our time here."

The pilot looked disappointed...

"We didn't come over here for nothing..." said the pilot as he pushed the throttle up.

Another ten minutes went by. No sign of the Lugia. All hope seemed lost when something appeared on the radar.

"Um, guys, I've got something showing up here!"

"What speed is it going?"

"It's coming fast, about fifteen metres per second, and it's about thirty foot in diameter."

"I think that's our Lugia there. Get closer, we need to take it back to the lab."

The helicopter took at sharp turn in direction of the Lugia.

"Ok guys; keep an eye out for a blue and white bird..."

"Hey, I've got it!"

"Get the tranquiliser gun ready."

One of the scientists got out the tranquiliser gun and aimed out of the open window.

The scientist squeezed the trigger and the dart flew into the Lugia's back.

"Bingo!"

The bird slowly dropped out of the sky towards the ocean below.

"Follow it!" The co-pilot said as the helicopter descended and pursued the Lugia.

"Prepare the capture net!"

The capture net shot out of the tail of the helicopter as the helicopter dived just below and suddenly pulled up again capturing the Lugia in the net. The helicopter suddenly dropped of the sheer weight in the net.

"We need more power!"

The pilot pushed the throttles full forward and the helicopter slowly lifted its payload back up again. The helicopter turned back to the lab and slowly forward.

"Let's go home..."

Part 3

Back at the lab, the scientists inspected the bird closely.

"This is amazing. I've taken a tissue sample, there seems to be human DNA in here too."

"Are you saying that this creature could have been human at one point?"

The scientists just looked at each other in silence.
