So this is my first story. It'll Probably be pretty bad so don't expect too much. Without further ado, (Is that how you spell that?),here is my story, Change.

I heard an explosion to my right, and felt a burning sensation on my arm. Burned, no doubt about it. The pain was terrible, but I had to keep running, I could use my wings if I knew how to, but I can barely grasp what I am right now, so for now I run. You must be wondering, 'How did you get into such a shitty situation?'. Well, it all started like this...

The world I came from, however far away I am from it now, didn't have all this crazy shit going on. We didn't have these weird purple rats, we had just normal terrible rats. I'm, or at least was a normal kid, 15 years old, about 5 ft 7 Inches tall, pretty skinny, dark brown hair, a little longer than average hair. Just a normal kid. The day it happened was pretty normal. I went to school, came home, and went to sleep...

When I woke up, I was in a forest. I had a terrible headache, and my entire body ached horribly. I looked around the area I was in. Grassy and calm, trees everywhere, and some odd blue berries. They kind of looked like Oranges, but blue. I knew what I had to do when I realized I was lost. I had to find water quickly. if I didn't find any, I would succumb to dehydration and die. Food could wait, because despite how skinny I was, I was confident that I could withstand the effects of starvation, if only for a couple days.

I wandered around the forest, hoping to find some water. As I walked I realized there was a bit of a chill in the air. *Well that's just fine and dandy, I'm gonna freeze to death and die of dehydration at the same time!* I thought as I continued to walk around the forest, hoping for a lake or pond.

The sun was high in the air by the time I found a lake, but I was more surprised by what I found at the lake. I saw a weird purple rat, with large teeth and a couple whiskers near the pond. Inside the lake were several small blue things with blue bodies that had 3 dark blue lines on their stomachs and purple whisker gill things and no arms. As I approached the lake for a drink, I noticed their tails as they dove under the water, down where I couldn't see. I looked down and saw my reflection and I didn't even recognize myself at first.

I had blue hair with strips of black, and red eyes, along with somewhat large things on my back. I guess they were wings, but they didn't look quite like normal wings. They were feathery, like you would expect, but they weren't very good wings. I couldn't move them very much, despite my efforts, and they only made my back sore if I tried to use them. My skin was blue as well, so along with being a weird bird thing, I could be a smurf too! "Just my luck..." I mumbled as I began to drink some of the lake water. Hydrated and Satisfied I began to walk around, hoping maybe I could find some sort of civilization, but I began to walk in one direction. I can't really explain why, I just felt this was somewhere I needed to go, kind of like*Home...*. The thought of going back home made me feel sick and sad. How would I get back?

I shook my head, going back home would come up later, once I had somewhere to stay. For now I needed to keep moving to, wherever my brain told me to go. I walked, and walked for hours. After a while I began to get so bored that I counted how many birds were on branches, or what the shapes of different bushed and trees were. At the very least the plant life looked normal, if not a little different. Soon Day turned darker and darker, and the moon began to rise. It was full and beautiful and provided a bit of comfort to me. *The moon is the same too, maybe this won't be too bad.* I thought as I continued to walk. Then I heard the roar.

I began to panic. *What the hell was that?! Did I walk on some weird animals territory or was it just some creatures- * I never got to finish my speculation Session, as I saw a large beam of blue and purple flames fly past me. Then I began to run. I ran as fast as I could, not stopping to see who or what was chasing me. No matter how much i ran though, it continued to shoot those terrifying flames. Suddenly it shot flames, and this time it hit its target. A terrible burning pain hit my right arm. That brings us to the present. As I run I look down at my arm and realize, I'm not some blue skinned weirdo, I have fur. I hadn't noticed it earlier, I don't honestly know how I didn't, but I did now. I have to stop for a break. This injury along with all the running has worn me out, so I either have to keep running and pass out, or turn around and fight this thing. So of course, I'm doing the dumb thing and turning around to fight. Adrenaline courses through my veins and I look around. *Where are you?* I think as I continue to survey the now terrifying darkness that surrounded me. Suddenly a gust of wind and giant mass hitting my left side and pinning me down told me that maybe, just maybe , it was to the left prior to my pinning. As I fall, my wings adjust more to the side, avoiding any complications, so I have one less thing to worry about. I look up, my eyes wide with fear, teeth clenched. But what I see is very much not expected. It looks kind of like a dragon bird thing, it has small blue arms with blue adorning its body and very odd wings. It has a red triangle on its lower body and red eyes that stared into my very soul, examining me. I just stare back, paralyzed with confusion and fear. Suddenly, out of the blue I hear a voice.

*Latios, get off of him!*. Feminine, definitely a girls voice, but who's was it? Suddenly I see another one of those things come out of the trees. It's body is very much similar to the blue ones, who's name is Latios I guess, just more of a red with a blue triangle and beautiful yellow eyes. It seemed to have a mouth as well, which was molded into a frown. *Latios, stop attacking him!* She seems to be trying to help me. At least not everything is hostile in this place.

He walked into our territory, so I protected our territory* a voice who I assume to be Latios said, staring at me still. His voice is certainly deeper. How does he even talk without having a mouth, or maybe his mouth was hidden? Whatever the case I just keep getting more and more confused. *Protecting it from what? This innocent kid? He doesn't seem to be a threat at all! He seems more scared than anything* Well she can at least tell I would prefer not being here. *Fine, i'll leave him alone. Don't come back if you know whats good for you.* He says as he turns around a takes off into the sky.

Hey, are you alright?* She says as she begins to approach me slowly. I quickly scoot backwards then stop, not because she didn't seem hostile, but because the pain in my right arm just keeps getting worse and worse. *Hey calm down, I won't hurt you. I'm Latias, and that was my brother, Latios.* She says calmly as she continues to approach. I just stare at her, scared out of my mind. What if this was a trick to get me killed? Maybe she was just gonna leave me to die here... But she doesn't, she comes up to me and gasps. *Oh no, he really hit your arm hard. I'm gonna bring you to our home so I can heal you, so don't freak out, OK?* She calmly speaks to me as she picks me up with both her arms and begins to fly to some sort of home. I am expecting a firm hard grip, but she was rather gentle and nice. I guess all this stuff happening is really getting to me. As she flew us through the cool sky, I begin to think. Why didn't she question why I look so similar to her brother? I suppose she was just worried about me. Why am I here? I never really questioned it up until now. I could only guess I did something horrible or terrible, and this is my punishment. Or is this a blessing in disguise? The only real hostility I have seen was from that Latios guy, and even then he claimed to just be protecting their 'Land'. Suddenly I begin to feel tired. With the adrenaline gone and the lack of food in my stomach I realized how tired and fatigued I truly was. Slowly I begin to close my eyes, letting darkness consume me...

*Should we really send this kid? How could he possibly do anything?* A high pitched voice spoke. *I sense he can truly make a difference. Not immediatly, thinking so would be foolish, but with time he will be capable of great things.* A Deeper, much more regal voice spoke. *and If he is not? If he brings only pain and suffering to others?* *Then I will kill him myself. I will be the one to correct my mistake* Suddenly I heard a voice calling out to me *Hey, wake up... Wake up...* I felt a shaking, then I woke up.

I wake up, breathing heavily and being shaken by Latias *Finally you're awake. We're finally at my home!* Latias exclaims as she lands down onto some concrete. We're in a park or something of the sort. Stone paths, fountains, weird wind chimes, you name anything a park has and this park has it. This park is rather large too, with it expanding past my field of vision, trees and various berry trees and bushes planted within.

Can you walk? I'll need you to follow me.* Latias says as she sets me down. I can walk, although it is very shakily. She begins to float towards a small cabin, or I guess house. As we approach it, Latias asks me *What's your name? I never got it because of all the stuff that was happening, not to mention you passed out.*

What do I do? Do I tell It to her? Just the concept of talking to her makes me nervous. Not quite sure why. I suppose since I'm probably gonna live in this place for a while, I might as well make some friends. "My name's Dominic." *Well, that's a nice name* "Thanks, but when are we going to help my arm?" I ask. My arm is just getting worse. *We're nearly there* She says as we walk upon the house. She goes up and opens the door.

The inside of the house is pretty nice, wooden polished chairs and tables, a small kitchen area with shelves, some doors which I assume lead to the bathrooms and bedrooms, and a small basket of berries on a table. As Latias begins to grab medicine I start to talk "Do you just live all by your self?" I asked. She shakes her head *No, I live here with my friend Bianca, an old man named Lorenzo, and my brother Latios* She says as she continues to grab medicine and berries. "W-wait, he l-lives here?" I ask, my voice showing clear fear of him. Even though he claims to be 'Protecting Land', I'm still terrified of him. I think Latias could tell I was afraid because she went on to say *Don't worry, he won't hurt you, and if he does i'll hurt him.*

I went a bit silent after that, just waiting for the medicine. Finally she walks up to me with medicine in hand along with some berries. *Hold out your arm. This might hurt a little bit, so try not to squirm around* She says gently as she begins to apply some sort of ointment. Hurting a little is an understatement, it stings and burns alot, but it slowly dies down. Once she finishes with the ointment, she wraps bandage around the area of my arm the burn was inflicted and hands me some berries. *Eat up, they'll help with the healing* She says as she goes back to put away the medicine. I hold up the berry and look at it. The same kind of berries from the forest I woke up in. I bite into them and are surprised by how sweet the berry is. I normally dislike things like fruit, but this is delicious! I devour the berry in no time, when I hear a knock at the door. I turn my head and my blood turns ice cold. What if that was Latios? If he saw me here, he would fucking destroy me! *Hey can you get the door? I'm busy putting away some stuff.* Well, I guess I have no choice. I begin to get up and walk towards the door, unsure of what was on the other side. I slowly begin to reach for the door knob when Latias speaks *Wait, i'll open it. It might freak them out to see some random guy in their house

I calm down a little when a teenage girl, probably about my age walk in. She's wearing a green short sleeve shirt and a white skirt, and has hair similar to the wings of Latios and Latias, and me to a lesser extent. I also watched a round plump old man walk through the door, carrying a bag filled with bread and berries and the like. Then I saw Latios float in and I nearly have a heart attack.

I slowly begin to back up. They're talking to Latias, so maybe I can make a break for it. Then I bump into a wall and turn all the attention to me. *Oh yeah! Lorenzo, Bianca, this is Dominic. Dominic, this is Lorenzo and Bianca. They take care of me and Latios.* She says cheerfully. I wasn't really paying attention to her, I was paying more attention to Latios, who was just staring at me. Lorenzo then walks up to me and stretches out his hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Dominic." He says as I shake his hand. His grip is strong and firm while mine is weak and shaky. Then Bianca walks up to me and stretches out her hand, saying "It's nice to meet you! I hope we can become friends!" I shake her hand, thinking to my self, *Friends... Having some friends here what be great*. Latios then floats up to me, but he shows no intention of being friends. He stares me down, and then speaks.

What are you?* "W-what do you mean?" I quietly ask, quivering under his presence. *I mean, what are you? You're clearly not a Pokemon, but at the same time you are not a human either.* I just stare at him, dumb founded. "What the hell is a Pokemon?" I ask, more loudly than before. What the hell is a Pokemon exactly? *What do you mean? You've been alive for probably 15 years and you don't even know what a Pokemon is? Are you trying to play me for a fool?* Fool? What did he mean? I genuinely am confused. "Why would I lie? I don't know what a Pokemon is at all." Latios sighs, but Lorenzo walks up to me and begins to explain to me what Pokemon are.

I find out that the things I saw earlier were Pokemon. Rattatas and Woopers, I think he calls them. He tells me that Latios and Latias were Pokemon, and they were known as Legendaries Legendaries were Pokemon that excelled in combat, or had some sort of special ability or uniqueness to them. Legendaries were apparently very rare, with not more than a couple hundred of each species, though the amount varied from Pokemon to Pokemon. That's where i'm brought in. What am I? Latios asks again *So I ask again. What are you?* I can't really answer precisely. What am I? "I'm not sure honestly... I think i'm some sort of hybrid thing... I'm not human, but i'm obviously not a complete Pokemon either..." I say nervously. What else can I say? Everyone is just looking at me. Then Latios floats off towards the door I assume leads to a hallway, and leaves. I decide to try and break the ice "So, can I have some more berries?"

The rest of the short feeling day was very uneventful. Lorenzo taught me more about this strange world. He tells me that others like me do exist, but just not legendary Pokemon hybrids. He says most people call them Morphs. Interesting name, but I guess it makes sense. They offer to let me sleep in their house, and I accept. These people are way too nice! I bet they would let a serial killer stay if they seemed nice enough. Bianca offers me her bed, but I decline. I would feel bad taking her bed. This is their house, not mine after all. Slowly as it gets later, everyone goes to bed wishing me goodnight. I decide to try and rest. Maybe my dreams can offer a break from this craziness. I sit in the wooden chair and try to get comfy. I kinda wish I had taken the bed now. I slowly doze off though, as discomfort can only fight off sleep for so long...

He will learn of it eventually.* Says the High Voice. *I know he will.* Says the Low Voice. *Then why hide it? There is no purpose for holding is memory back* Says the High Voice, clearly annoyed. *It is done to develop his character. If he had his memory, he would most likely figure things out much quicker. He must rely only on instinct and his own nature to get through this* Says the Low Voice. Suddenly, everything begins to shake violently. The field of vision I have begins to crack, as if it's a window, then breaks completely as I wake up.

I look up and see Latios shaking me very violently. I push my chair back and fall out of surprise and fear. What is he doing at this time of night? *Finally, you're awake. Get up, and walk with me.* He says as he begins to float towards and out of the door. Do I go? I don't think he'll be happy if I don't, and I have a feeling i'm already on his bad side, so I decide to just listen to what he says.

I walk out the door and follow Latios through the park, looking around at the trees and the night time cre- Pokemon. I need to get used to saying that. We continue to walk in silence, nothing being exchanged between the two of us. The atmosphere is awkward, to put it lightly. Then Latios speaks *I know your secret.* "What do you mean?" I ask suspiciously. I don't have any secrets really. Okay maybe I do, but not very many. Latios sighs *You really don't know what I mean?* He asks. He sounds tired and frustrated. "Nope. No idea." I say confidently. Maybe he just got the wrong idea from something I did? *Think for a second. Have you done or felt anything particular for anyone?* Latios asks. I think for a moment. I feel as if I did, but I can't place my finger on for who or what.

But then I do, and I stutter out "N-no, I don't think." *Your stutter says otherwise.* I begin to feel my face go red. "O-ok maybe I do, but i'm not telling you!" *And why is that?* He asks smartly. Damn, he's got me there. "F-fine, i'll tell you. But don't destroy me, o-okay?" I say nervously. Am I really gonna tell him this? *Fine. Deal. Now tell me.* "I have a c-crush on l..." I utter sadly. I can barely even speak right now. *Didn't quite catch that. Crush on who exactly?* He asks cockily. He knows the answer, he just wants me to answer. "It's Latias, Okay!?" I shout. He just stops and turns around. He's about to beat the shit out of me here and now. *I'm gonna warn you to be careful right now. You'll figure out why.* Latios holds out his hand. *I'm sorry for attacking you earlier. Your appearance... Startled me. Can we look past that?* I look at him. Do I shake it? I reach out and grab his hand and give it a firm shake. "Alright, I can forgive you for it. Now lets get back to the house." I say, turning around. *You go on ahead. I still need to fly around and think* He says as he takes off into the sky, to fly around and think I guess.

As I walk I decide to think as well. What did he mean by that warning? *Be careful right now. You'll figure out why.* What could that mean? Figuring what out later? I arrive at the house, still brainstorming ideas for what he meant. I walk inside and pick up the chair I knocked over and hop onto it. I make my self comfy and begin to doze off. Sleep is something i'm really craving now. I slowly feel tendrils of sleep pull me under my thin veil of consciousness, still thinking of the warning I was given.
