A/N: This story will only be a one-shot unless someone reviews or messages us saying that we should do otherwise.

(. . .) - Thoughts and ". . ." – Speech
Have you ever wonder what it felt like to wake up one day in a new form? Well, this is the story of a human being who had found out that he was turned into a Pokémon and thrown into a new world.
(Where. . . am I?)
(. . . I feel a pleasant breeze blowing. . .)
(Am I. . . dreaming this?)
(. . . I hear a voice from somewhere. . .)
(I wonder. . . who is it?)
"Um. . . Excuse me."
"Neh, are you awake yet?"
"Come on, wake up already!"
The bright sunlight was blinding for a moment before it cleared away.
Blinking his sapphire eyes, he looked around a bit clearly confused.
"You're finally awake! Great!" A female voice chirped happily.
He blinked once more before turning around to see an inversed color Torchic.
(Wh-where is this. . . ?)
"We found you passed out here." Another voice said from his right making him turn around to see a silver-white Eevee.
"About time you're up." A younger voice said from his left which turned out to be a red-orange Vulpix.
He blinked a bit before nodding slowly and taking everything in.
"My name's Atsuko. The Eevee is Dash and that's Kyuubi. Nice to meet ya!" The female Torchic chirped. "By the way, who are you exactly?"
"Yeah. We've never seen you before so are you new or something?" Kyuubi asked as she walked around him observing his movements.
He blinked once more, "New? I'm only a human."
"Human? But you look like an Absol to me. . ." Dash mumbled with a confused look on her face.
The Absol blinked in confusion before looking at himself and jumping in shock and surprise. (Th-they're right! I have turned into an Absol!)
His face then changed into that of deep thought. (. . . But why? I don't remember anything and why am I red with white fur instead of blue with white fur?)
The other three sweat dropped a bit before Atsuko spoke up softly, "Um. . . You're kind of weird. . . Your name? What's your name?"
The Absol blinked again, (My name. . . ? Oh. That's right, my name is. . .) "Shun."
"Oh. So Shun's your name?" Atsuko said aloud before laughing cheerfully. "Well. . . It's a funny name!"
Shun sweat dropped a bit as the other two sighed a bit when another voice cut in, this time, however, it sound panicked.
"Somebody! Please! Help me!"
"Hm?" Dash mumbled as she looked to her left, ears perked. "I hear shouts coming from over there. . ."
As soon as she finished that, a female Butterfree fluttered towards them clearly panicking.
"Eh? What's wrong?" Atsuko asked as everyone turned their attention to the bug Pokémon.
"It's horrible! My Caterpie fell in a cavern! My poor baby!" The Butterfree explain fluttering around nervously.
"What?! How?!" Kyuubi shouted alarmed.
"A huge fissure opened in the ground, and my Caterpie fell in! He's too young to crawl out by himself!" Butterfree exclaimed. "When I went to get my baby, Pokémon suddenly attacked me!"
"Huh? You were attacked? By other Pokémon?" Atsuko asked shocked and worried.
"They must be enraged by the fissure. . . and out of control! That's what I think. I'm not strong enough to fend off those wild Pokémon. . . What will become of my baby? Oh! What am I to do?! Oh dear, oh dear. . ." Butterfree said panicking even more.
"This sounds bad! We have to go help!" Dash exclaimed as everyone nodded in agreement and followed her.
---In the Fissure---
"How far do you think Caterpie fell?" Kyuubi asked as everyone jumped from one rock to the next steadily getting lower.
"I'm not completely sure but by the looks of things probably a lot further then where we are now." Dash responded helping Atsuko get down.
"Hm. What do you think, Shun?" Atsuko asked as she landed securely while sticking close to everyone.
"Um. I. . . don't know." Shun mumbled feeling useless.
"Tch. Figures." Kyuubi muttered before getting whacked on the head by Dash. "Ow! What was that for?!"
"Quit teasing him. It's not his fault and besides it's not like you know either." Dash retorted before sighing. "Doesn't matter now. Let's just find Caterpie."
"Dash's right, you know?" Atsuko said as she hopped downwards and looked around. "Caterpie's safety and return is our top priority right now."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever." Kyuubi mumbled following the fire bird.
Dash hopped downwards as well before turning to the Absol, grinning a bit. "Come on Shun. We're not gonna find Caterpie if we stick around here, ya know?"
Shun blinked a bit before grinning back slightly, "Yeah. I guess you're right." (That Eevee. . . Dash. . . It feels like she's a big sister to me. . .)
"I know I'm right." The Eevee replied smirking as all four of them reached a stable ground.
"Come on you guys! Start searching!" Atsuko commanded as everyone split up into pairs.
"We'll go this way." Dash said as she led Shun towards her right.
"Then I guess we'll go this way." Atsuko mused as she followed the Vulpix to the left.
"We'll meet up back here in about two hours, 'kay?" Dash asked as everyone nodded. "Great! Let's go!"
---Atsuko-Kyuubi Pair---
"See anything, Kyuubi?" The fire bird asked looking around.
"Nope. You?" The fire fox replied after she looked into a crack.
"No." Atsuko sighed before she bumped into something and fell on her bottom. "What the-?!"
"Um. Anemoné? Uh-oh." Kyuubi mumbled as they stared at, what seems to be, the leader of a pack of Poochyena's.
"Grr. What are you trespassers doing here?!" The leader growled as his fur bristled.
Atsuko puffed up her feathers to make herself more intimidating, "We're looking for Caterpie!"
"Wrong move, Atsuko. . ." Kyuubi mumbled as the Poochyena's surrounded them.
Atsuko sighed a bit, "Not really. It just means that we have to battle 'em."
"Heh." Kyuubi smirked a bit. "Well, then, in that case. It's play-time!"
---Dash-Shun Pair---
"This place is kind of boring." Dash mumbled to Shun with a bored look on her face.
Shun sweat dropped a bit. "Now that you mentioned it. There haven't been any Pokémon around."
Dash's eyes soon lit up though as she grinned. "Well, then. Let's make them come!"
"E-Eh?! B-But aren't we suppose to try to avoid them?!" Shun exclaimed shocked.
"Yeah but it's no fun if everything went our merry way." Dash said still grinning. "Plus, the sooner we get past the Pokémon then the sooner we can get Caterpie without interference!"
Shun sighed a bit, "I guess so. . . Although your way of thinking is a bit weird."
Dash's grin seemed to widen before she smirked, "Heh heh."
"Hm? Uh. . . What are going to do?" Shun questioned backing away from Dash a bit.
Dash gave a quick smirk before taking a huge breath in, "COME OUT, COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!"
Silence for a moment as Dash's echoes bounced around the place before Shun sweat dropped, "It didn't work. . ."
Dash sighed before shaking her head, "I was hoping I didn't have to come to this but. . ."
"Huh???" Shun mumbled aloud as Dash took another deep breath. "Dash? What are you-?!"
"HEY LOSERS! GET YOUR WEAK COWARDLY-SELVES OVER HERE SO THAT I CAN BEAT YOUR BUTTS AND SEND YOU HOME WITH YOUR TAILS BETWEEN YOUR LEGS!!!"
Shun flinched a bit before his eyes widen as the ground shook slightly and Rattata's began to appear from every corner. "Now you've done it, Dash."
But the Eevee merely smirked feeling excited, "Time to play."
---With Atsuko-Kyuubi Pair---
"Oro? Did you hear that, Atsuko?" Kyuubi asked as she shook herself clean from the dust.
"Yeah and somehow. . . I have a feeling that Dash decided to provoke the Pokémon." Atsuko mumbled sweat dropping as she sat at the top.
"Yeah. Well, that's her alright." The fire fox mumbled before looking around. "Hey! He's not here!"
Atsuko blinked a bit and looked around as well. "Ah! You're right! Oh phooey. Guess we better go to the others now, huh?"
"Yeah." Kyuubi mumbled as the two left the spot that marked their victory with a pile of fainted Poochyena's.
---With Dash-Shun Pair---
"Tackle Attack!" Dash shouted as she rammed into one of the Rattata's knocking it unconscious. "Come on, Shun! Fight back!"
"Uh. Um. Okay!" Shun responded slightly nervous before his Poké-instincts seemed to have clicked in. "Scratch Attack!"
Using his red claws, the shiny Absol slashed the purple rat knocking it unconscious with one hit.
"Aha! Alright!" Shun shouted celebrating before he was tackled by another Rattata. "Owie. . ."
"Eh? Shun no baka!" Dash scolded after tackling the Rattata away. "Don't celebrate when you're surrounded by enemies!"
"Ehehehe. Oops?" Shun laughed nervously before dodging another attack and scratching back.
---Ten Rattata's Later---
"Yay! We did it!" Shun said happily as Dash grinned and wagged her tail.
"That was fun." The Eevee said before turning around. "But we better finish searching for Caterpie now."
"Oh yeah." Shun mumbled in realization as he began follow the female Eevee when their names were called from behind. "Eh?"
"Hm? Oh hey! Atsuko! Kyuubi!" Dash greeted as their two comrades caught up to them. "Nothing's the other way, huh?"
"Nope." Atsuko confirmed. "So we're coming with you this way."
"Damn, Dash." Kyuubi grumbled when she saw the battle arena. "You still beat me with the number of enemies but only by one this time!"
Dash seemed to hear the "one" part and blinked a bit confused, "Huh? Did you say something?"
"Dash. . ." The Vulpix grumbled before pouting a bit and sulking as the Absol sweat dropped.
"Uh. We should go now." Shun said as he began to walk towards the direction that Caterpie should be.
"Oh! Right! Let's go!" Dash exclaimed as she dashed forward while the other two followed closely behind.
---At the Destination---
"Waaaaah. . . Mommy. . . Where are you. . . ? -Sniffle-" A green bug-like caterpillar Pokémon mumbled crying.
The four soon approached the Pokémon as Atsuko spoke up. "Caterpie! There you are! Come on! We came to rescue you!"
"Huh?" Caterpie said still sniffling a bit.
"Your mom's waiting." Dash said picking the Pokémon up and placed him onto her back.
"So let's get you out!" Shun piped in as Kyuubi nodded in agreement.
"Okay!" Caterpie chirped before all of them began to trek back.
---Back with Butterfree---
"My baby's safe. . ." The mother said happily before turning to the four. "I'm sorry, I don't know how I could ever thank you properly. . ."
Atsuko smiled at her, "Oh, that's okay! It has been dangerous lately with sudden quakes and fissures like that one. It was great to find your little boy unharmed!"
"Besides, we're a rescue team." Kyuubi added in. "Even if we did only started several days ago as Rescue Team BlackFire."
The Butterfree smiled although a bit surprised at that statement, "I see. . . Please, may I have your names at least?"
"Sure!" Atsuko said happily. "I'm Atsuko!"
"Dash's my name. " The Eevee said giving a lazy grin.
"Kyuubi the Vulpix." The red fox piped in.
"And I'm Shun." The male Absol said wagging his tail slightly.
". . . . . . . . . . Cool. . . . ." Caterpie said in awe with sparkly eyes.
Everyone sweat dropped a bit.
(He's uh. . . staring at me adoringly. . .) Shun thought still sweat dropping. (Those sparkly eyes. . . It's a little embarrassing. . . But this doesn't feel bad either. It's like I'm a hero!)
Dash smiled a bit when she saw the Absol's proud expression. (Even if he is human. . . Having him help around might be a good experience for everyone.)
She then snapped out of her train of thoughts when Caterpie spoke up enthusiastically. "Thank you, you guys!"
Kyuubi's five tails wagged happily as the Eevee grinned at the young Caterpie. "No prob."
". . . I know it isn't really enough, but this is a token of our thanks." Butterfree started as she pulled out an Oran Berry, a Pecha Berry, and a Rawst Berry from her bag. "Please accept it."
"Wow." Atsuko said before she smiled at the flying and bug Pokémon. "Thank you!"
The Butterfree smiled at them. "No, thank you. Good-bye!"
With that, the two bug Pokémon left for their home.
The three female Pokémon then turned towards the Absol.
"By the way, Shun! Thanks for helping us with that rescue!" Atsuko chirped happily.
"Humph. You were pretty good. . . I guess." Kyuubi mumbled. "But don't let it get to your head!"
Dash rolled her eyes before grinning at the Absol. "I was impressed, that's for sure. So, anyways, do you have any plans?"
Shun had a thoughtful but also nervous look on his face. ". . . . ."
"Hm. . . Listen, Shun. If you don't have any plans or anywhere to go, why don't you come with us?" Dash suggested as the other two gained surprised looks.
"Really?" Shun asked a bit doubtful.
"Yeah!" Atsuko added in when she realized what Dash meant. "You can help us with the missions while we help you find your way home!"
"Okay, but. . . will Kyuubi let me stay?" Shun mumbled as he looked at the fire fox. "I mean, I don't want to intrude. . ."
The Vulpix gained an annoyed look on her face before sighing, "Since you did help us. . . and you're kind of polite. . . fine."
Everyone grinned at each other happily.
"Well, then, follow me to our base!" Dash exclaimed before running off.
"O-Oi! Wait up, Dash!" Atsuko shouted before the other three dashed right after her.
---At the Team Base---
"Well, this is the place. . ." Dash said wagging her tail as she looked on proudly at their team base.
It was a white 'onion-shaped' building with a small moat of water surrounding the place and a bridge connecting to the entrance along with Cala Lilies growing near it. A window was also seen near the top right side open.
"Wow." Shun mumbled before raising an eyebrow at the shape of the house. "Onion?"
Kyuubi stopped walking and turned to the Absol with glowing 'evil' red eyes as the background turned black with lightning flashing, "DON'T make FUN of the ONIONS!!!"
Shun began to sweat drop a waterfall, "Yes ma'am."
The background then turned happy with a rainbow and flowers everywhere as the fire fox smiled 'sweetly', "Thank you."
Meanwhile, Atsuko was laughing her butt off while leaning onto Dash as to not fall to the ground.
"She's scary. . ." The Absol mumbled scooting away from Kyuubi as she started to pet the house.
Dash snickered a bit before entering the base, "Well, then, why don't we check the inside?"
Everyone nodded before entering it and as soon as Shun laid eyes on the inside, his eyes sparkled. "It's so pretty. . ."
The floor was just pure lush green grass and the walls had fence-like indentions that allowed grape vines to grow along it. There was also a great sakura tree in the center of the room. Several soft rug-like beds were stationed at different places inside and a tree stump with several wooden bowls filled with berries was stationed in front of the tree. Light shined from the window and a light breeze filled the place.
"Pretty cool, huh?" Dash said as she plopped onto a black, with a silver moon and many star designs, bed.
"Yeah." The Absol mumbled still in awe before he snapped out of it when Atsuko pushed him towards a white-and-red striped bed.
"This will be your bed." The fire bird chirped before dragging him to the stump. "And this is where everyone eats!"
"Yeah, well, enough with the introduction of the house. Let's eat!" Kyuubi said as she popped a Cheri Berry into her mouth. "Yummy!"
Atsuko and Shun both walked towards the stump and just when Kyuubi was about to pop an Oran Berry into her mouth.
-Snatch!-
A white blur took it from her making her gain several anime veins.
"DAASSSHHHH!!!!!"
And that is how, Shun the human-turned-into-an-Absol, started his adventures as a Pokémon and joined Rescue Team BlackFire.
