[I Got Reincarnated as a Ditto!] Pokédex's describes.
Cerulean Cave: A mysterious cave that was filled with a wide variety of high-level wild Pokémon. It was so dangerous, thus the Pokémon League was in charge of it.
The Pokémon League only permitted Trainers who have entered the Hall of Fame to enter this terrible place. The strict rules existed because of the danger this Unknown Dungeon represented.
For its structure, Cerulean Cave was a large underground complex of maze-like tunnels which extended out from Cerulean City to the mountains beyond. With the dark entrance positioned on the outskirts of Cerulean City, only accessible by the river down Route 24 to the entrance close by the northern border of Cerulean City.
The entrance to the cave looked like it had been carved out from a hillside, forming an indented entrance into the hill. A Pokémon League's agent guarded the entrance to the cave and only allowed Trainers who owned all eight Kanto Gym Badges and have entered the Hall of Fame to come in. It was a cave that had been renowned for its mystery.
At the deepest point of the cave lived Mewtwo, a Pokémon that could only be found in Cerulean Cave. In regard to Mewtwo, it was a man-made Legendary Pokémon created by scientists in the Pokémon Mansion of Cinnabar Island before it became too powerful and escaped, burning down the place as it goes from its birthplace.
Regardless, this story was not about the Genetic Pokémon and neither was about the courageous Pokémon Trainers who had the skill to enter this mysterious cave. No, ladies and gentlemen, this story was about a certain Ditto who was more than what it seemed in the first glance.
So, Ditto, the Transform Pokémon, was quite an interesting specimen if I said so. Unlike the normal Pokémon that was born from an Egg, Ditto propagated by splitting itself up. Yet, Ditto could breed with any other Pokémon despite the inconsistent gender of its partner.
Whether Ditto's mating partner was a male or a female, the Pokémon Day Care's Owner would give you a Pokémon Egg from this confusing union. Though the breeding process between Ditto and its partner sounded interesting to discuss, let's leave that can of worms aside and progressed with the story.
In the first floor of Cerulean Cave, a Ditto just split a part of its body, creating a new Ditto. This Ditto looked normal with glistening purple colored viscous sludge as its body with two dots as the eyes and a straight, horizontal line as the mouth. After propagating, it left the unresponsive purple goo on the floor, which was formerly a part of it.
It followed its instinct to regain its lost power as the after effect of propagation. Despite the tedious repetition of getting stronger, propagating, becoming weak, getting stronger again and returning back to propagating, it never ceased following its basic instinct, of which untrained Ditto species knew in their lives.
A wild Ditto was well-known to be not bright, unlike other wild Pokémon with their developed intelligence. Even if a Ditto was caught and then got trained by the best Pokémon Trainer, Ditto's intelligence would not increase significantly. At most, Ditto would follow the Trainer's instruction to a T.
What you expect from a blob of purple — or light blue if it's a Shiny — viscous goo? It did not have a brain and it was a miracle those Ditto caught by Trainer could follow and understand their Trainer's instruction.
Let's return back to the new Ditto left behind by its parent? Creator? Whatever….
At first, it looked like glistening purple goo on the ground, which did not show a sign of life whatsoever. After a short while, its viscous body twitched and two round dots and a horizontal straight line appeared on its gooey body.
The dots as its eyes became flat lines and turned back into circles before turning to flat lines again, back and forth, at a rapid pace as if the Ditto was blinking its eyes.
Right after that, it squirmed on its place without meanings or how it was seen at first glance. Finally, it moved a part of its gooey body in front of its eyes.
The moment it saw its own body part, its small dot-like eyes enlarged as though they were bulging out in a comical surprise. Then, it squirmed strongly before stopping dead after a short while. The next moment, a gloomy aura flooded its surrounding and the empty air above it as though it was brooding.
From its amusing action, it was obvious this Ditto was not the normal Ditto. It was too smart and expressive to be a normal one. However, you made a grave error if you thought it was just a unique, intelligent Ditto.
Actually, this Ditto was a much, much more than what it appeared at first glance. It was a fully sentient, intelligent being. To better understand my cryptic words let's listen to what was floating in its mind even though it did not have a brain…
…I am a…slime? Holy Mary's wasted virgin pussy! I'm now a fucking slime! Are you fucking kidding me?! I can't believe it! I should listen to everyone and stopped playing Pokémon Go in a crowded street! Now, I died, being hit by a car — what a cliché way to die — and got reincarnated as a fucking slime! What am I going to do now? I haven't gotten laid, damn it. Shit! I died virgin, am not I? God damns it! Shit! Motherfucker!
…errr — I hoped there were no children under 15 reading this story because we just heard the unspeakable for children's innocent ears. Regardless, I expected you to understand why this one Ditto was very, very special.
According to its internal bemoaning, we discovered this Ditto was much more than it should be; a human's soul who transmigrated in the body of a Ditto after his death, despite that soul had yet to realize this fact and was mistaking his species as a normal slime.
This unusual phenomenon would certainly bring changes, but whether it was good or bad, no one could claim of knowing it. Not me, the humble narrator of this story. Not even Arceus, the Alpha Pokémon and Pokégod of that world. And of course, you who read this story to find out what would happen next...
So, I implored you: let's find out together with me whether the changes our gooey protagonist will bring are the good ones or the terrible ones. Let's follow his tale in the world of Pokémon together!
(-o-)
It has been a short while after he discovered he has reincarnated as a purple slime...or so he thought. He was only a teenager who had yet to graduate high school, so he was out of loops when he discovered he had died and reincarnated as slime.
At first, he hoped he had an awesome power like certain slime in the eastern cartoon he watched before his death, but reality cruelly crushed his hope when he discovered he did not have any awesome power.
Dejected, he decided to drag his gooey body aimlessly to clear his mind. He wished he would meet other living creatures in this place; preferably, it was something friendly and not hostile.
He found himself in what appeared to be a damp, dark cave. Well, it was not totally dark because the glowing stones on the rocky walls, floor, and ceiling supplied the tunnel with light, which was not bright enough. The lack of proper light has been a problem for him at the beginning, though his eyesight has adapted enough to the limited light of the place.
...just what kind of place is this? He wondered soundlessly, trying to distract his mind. This place looks like a normal cave, but that glowing rocks don't look normal whatsoever. I have never seen anything like that on Earth. If something like that existed back on Earth, I'm sure that kind of rocks should have been very famous, right?
Before long, he put down his curiosity and poured his effort to move faster. Because of his gooey body, which was lacking limbs, his movements were very limited. He crept slowly on the ground and he swore the snail-pace would drive him insane before long.
During the next couple of dozen minutes, he moved aimlessly in the cave. He had met a T-junction once and chose to the left path. He almost gave up when he found no living being beside him. However, he saw something right before he truly gave up and lost his motivation to seek out other living beings.
Honestly, how he could see everything in front of him when his body was nothing but purple goo was a mystery. Regardless, he finally found a sleeping creature.
Because of the dark tunnel, he couldn't properly see its appearance. Nevertheless, he felt relief because he discovered he wasn't the sole living being in this dark cave.
Overjoyed by his finding, he crept in the direction of the mysterious creature quickly...or as quickly as his gooey body was capable of. When he was a few meters away from the creature position, he stopped dead on his track because something happened with his body.
His body squirmed, stretched out, and transformed, ignoring his consent. It transformed into a humanoid figure with a tail, short limbs with three claws each, and an oversized head with a short snout. Before long, the transformation finished and he stood silently on his spot, struck dumb by the sudden incident.
...the fuck happened? He thought in bewilderment. At the same time, he felt like he had projected something out. What he projected was something he did not know...
...hey! Tone it down, please! Someone's napping, here...
His spine straightened unintentionally, he tensed his body, when he heard a disembodied voice in his head. If not because the voice sounded sleepy and lazy, of which lacking in hostility except the annoyance, he would freak out openly. Though the voice sounded reasonable, his guard was still up.
...who? Show yourself, bastard! He called out mentally and experienced the same sensation from before. Honestly, what was that mysterious feeling? Just what he was projecting out? He did not know. He was confused and frustrated. The disembodied voice did not help him in this case, either.
Oh! For Arceus' sake! Couldn't you just shut up already? It's hard to find a good spot, y'know? And here, I thought I can get a satisfying nap. Tch, damn it! The disembodied voice complained in frustration. Gotta find a new place before Mom finds me slacking off again…
Then, a rainbow-colored phosphorescent light covered the unknown creature and caught his attention. At this point, he finally saw the mysterious creature true appearance. He was struck dumb and stood rooted on the spot. He watched blankly as an Abra disappeared in rainbow light he guessed to be the effect of Teleport.
...that was an Abra. A real, living, breathing, honest-to-god Abra. A real motherfucking Pokémon... I take it that the disembodied voice belonged to that Abra... so that Abra used Telepathy... I guess the mysterious sensation I felt earlier is Psychic power... He pondered soundlessly and tried to comprehend what happened.
He raised his limb with sharp, retractable three yellow claws. A purple slime that can transform into an Abra… only Ditto came to mind. Don't tell me I got reincarnated as a Ditto?
He dropped his clawed limb and stared ahead into the dark tunnel, slack-jawed.
I am not sure whether this is good or bad...
(-o-)
After he met that lazy Abra and transformed into that Psychic-Type Pokémon, he has decided to sit down and pondered his current out of the norm situation.
He was not sure whether he was reincarnated as a Ditto in the Pokémon Rescue world or Pokémon Adventure world or Pokémon anime world. He needed to gather more information about his current whereabouts. Regardless, he pushed those thoughts aside because of a more pressing matter.
Can a Ditto maintain Transform this long? He pondered soundlessly and checked his Abra form.
He tried to remember the information about Ditto from Pokémon anime and the internet in his mind, but he discovered something more than what he initially expected. He could recall all his memory with perfect clarity and was struck dumb by this discovery.
Not only that, he could feel how easy it was to think. His mind felt so clear as if he had been muddle-headed for so long and finally woke up.
...is this because of Psychic power I have after transforming to an Abra? How does it work? Isn't a Ditto supposedly a Normal Type Pokémon?
Myriads of questions popped in his mind. The more question popped out, more sidetracked he became. In the end, he decided to stop thinking and wished to revert back to normal. Though his transformation as an Abra, he decided to call it his Abra form for the sake of shortening it, gave him a super smart brain, he felt uncomfortable because he wasn't accustomed to it.
Following his wish, his body following his wish and he reverted back to his gooey form. He squirmed and did the equivalent of a relieved sigh in his Ditto Forme.
Well, now, I've returned back to my original form. Does this mean I need to face another Pokémon species to transform... wait the moment! I remember that I did not need to use Transform when I transformed into an Abra before. That means, I have Impersonate ability, I suppose… He figured. But, I need to drag my body on the dirt without feet. I wish I have a pair of feet for moving faster. This body is so... huh? What!?
His sudden transformation cut his mussing short; he transformed back to an Abra. Simultaneously, he felt something decreased within him. He instinctively knew he could only use Transform for nine times before he couldn't use it anymore.
He sank deep in thought by this discovery and though: Is it normal for a Ditto to transform back into Pokémon they have transformed before? I don't think it's the case, here. My memory of Pokémon anime and their canonical information from the internet told me Ditto can only transform into Pokémon they face. Then why can I transform back into an Abra with only a thought? Am I special? Is it because of my special condition as reincarnated former human that has mutated me into something more?
He stopped himself before he sunk deep into tangent. Then, he pondered something else, of which he discovered after his transformation.
I guess that sensation is my Move PP gone down. Since Transform has ten PP, there are nine left before it becomes zero. I need to discover a means to recover the lost PP. Well, then, I hope resting can recover my PP. If not, I need to visit the Pokémon Center to recover it and that's going to be awkward...
In his Abra Forme, he sighed helplessly…or the equivalent of the action in his current form. He believed that he was either in the Pokémon Rescue world because the game-like limitations and rules he had discovered. But, there was a chance that he was in another version of the Pokémon the Origins/Generation world with humankind in it.
He hoped it was the later. Furthermore, he wouldn't mind being in the Pokémon anime world. In fact, that would be the best…
Though he got reincarnated as a Pokémon, in his core he was a human. He would yearn for interaction with another human.
However, interacting with a human in his current form had its downside: he was a Pokémon, a Ditto to be exact, and any human Trainer would realize that he was a unique Pokémon because of intelligence.
Pokémon Trainers wouldn't leave him alone because of that. They would try to catch him because of his uniqueness.
His real problem was that he did not want to be caught and owned by another person. It was his nature as a human who wanted to be free — to be his own person. However, he was a Pokémon now. Should he accept his new fate as his former species' pet?
Of course not! Nobody could own him because he was a free, intelligent individual. All hail freedom and free will! Regardless,
...perhaps, being caught by a pretty gal with Poképhilia fetish don't sound so bad, but the chance for it to happen is almost nonexistent. Speaking of human... can I transform into a human after meeting one? I hope so... For now, though, what should I do?
He pushed aside his other thoughts and contemplated his next move. Before long, he made his decision.
I am going to find another Pokémon. I hope the next Pokémon I meet can answer some questions I have, he made up his mind.
He climbed up from the dirt floor and trotted ahead. A few steps after he began, he stopped abruptly and palmed his snout.
I'm an idiot. I can use Teleport. Why didn't I use it?
After that realization, he prepared to use the move he copied, but he stopped when he realized a piece of important information related to Teleport.
In the Game Teleport would send you back to the latest Pokémon Center you have visited; wherein a battle, it would let you flee away. However, the anime showed how Teleport sent you to a random place or somewhere you already know of.
Tough luck I don't know any place in this world, of which the move would send me somewhere randomly. He assumed. Oh, well, I still need to use it, though. What the worst can happen?
Taking a leap in faith, he used Teleport and rainbow-colored light covered his body. He felt disoriented by the sudden transfer and he too felt weightlessness.
He realized his Teleport had sent him a little above the ground. He panicked when the gravitation pulled his body down. But, it wasn't the end of rapid development. Following his hidden ability — Impersonate — that turned on all of sudden, his body transformed.
He transformed into something big and heavy. Before he could properly acquaintance with his new form, he slammed the ground and something else...
"Graaah!? Who dares interrupt my sleep?" A guttural voice like two stones ground together said.
At the same time, his new body was thrown away and he fell down the ground. Then, he saw the source of the terrifying voice and instantly became pale…or the equivalent of turning pale in his current form.
He had teleported above a mean-looking Rhydon and had dropped on it, waking it up roughly from what appeared to be a very pleasant dream... and of course, it has become livid.
Finally, Rhydon's beady eyes focused in his direction. Those eyes were glaring murder at him.
…Oh, shit!
He knew when he was screwed!
AN: that was the first chapter of this wish-fulfillment Pokémon story, and yes, I call this story a wish-fulfillment because it is what it is. I won't sugar coat it.
The eastern cartoon That Time, I Got Reincarnated as Slime inspired me to write this madness. This story is rated M for the adult contents in the future. It will be started in Pokémon the Origins/Generation verse and continued to Anime version.
Other than that, my SI-OC will have some sexcapades with both Pokémon and human, though the Pokémon can transform into a human form. In the end, he is still a human a deep down and he doesn't have a bestiality fetish.
Anyway, review, please! And thanks for reading :-)
