Chapter 1: Turned!
Dark Clearing, Lottom Woods, 1:30 AM
I moaned, my eyes slowly opening. 'Ugh...' I thought. My body felt... weird, as though someone had taken it and twisted me like a pretsel. 'I... I'm parched... I need to find some water...' My sight landed on a nearby pond. Struggling because of my body's stiffness, I crawled towards the water. Instead of normally drinking it, I dunked my head in. I came for short breaths every once in a while. After about five dunks, I decided that was enough water. 'Wow... That water tasted so good...It was almost as if I was drink pop or something!' I remarked in my head. 'Wait... I see something in the water...' I blinked the water out of my eyes, (how dumb am I to have dunked my head in water without closing my eyes?) and stared down into the water. I saw a blurry Shinx in it. 'That's weird... what''s a Shinx doing in the water?' I tilted my head, the Shinx doing the same. Softly, I reached for it, then stopped, suprised. The Shinx was making the same exact gesture, but that wasn't what suprised me. My hand wasn't even a hand at all! I now had a light blue paw with some sort of yellow ring where my wrist would be. It was the same on my other paw. 'No... I... I...'Deciding to not get carried away, I looked at the rest of my body. Silently, I stood there in plain horror. 'No... I'm... I...'
"I WAS TURNED INTO A SHINX?!"
I heard nearby Pidgeys flly away after me yelling. My body was shaking, on the edge of the land near the pond. I started to cry, my vision blurred. Then, due to my ignorance to the fact that I was so close to the water, the land under me crumbled and fell into the water. I immediately closed my eyes and struggled to swim. "I can't swim!" I yelled, water getting in my mouth, blurring the speech. "Someone help!" Running echoed from above the pond and I saw a blurry fennekin reaching out for me. I tried my best to swim, and grabbed it's- wait, no... -Fenn's paw. She pulled me out of the pond as fast as she could, but gently. I came out of the water gasping for breath, after coughing out some water, I turned to Fenn. "Th-Thanks, Fenn." She smiled.
"No problem, Josh."
I staggered back. 'How did she... Oh wait, I'm a Pokemon. I can probably understand other Pokemon now.' I was about to say something, but clutched my head in pain. That isn't the first it's happened. For about a year, I had been getting massive headaches for no reason. Fenn knew this, so she ran by my side. Silently, she put her right front leg around my back. I looked at her. She smiled at me. I faintly smiled back. After a while my headache slowly ebbed away. I let go of my head, putting my paws back on the ground. Fenn stopped hugging me. "C'mon, let's go." I nodded. I started to follow her as she walked away, but tripped, landing on my face. "Ow..." I moaned. Hastily getting up, I continued to follow Fenn, but tripped again. "This is going to take some time to get used to..."
Lottom Forest, 2:45 AM
After tripping for about an hour, I had managed to walk without falling. I followed behind Fenn, shaking. Fenn noticed my shaking and slowed from a run to a mere trot, ending up by my side. "What's wrong?" She asked. "I... I don't know how to use any moves..." Fenn appeared suprised by this, but then it clicked in her head. "O-Oh! Well... Just leave the fighting to me, ok?" I nodded. We presed onward. I looked towards Fenn. 'She's so b- Wait, what am I thinking?! I'm supposed to be a human, but...' I shook my head, snapping myself out of thoughts. I looked forward and continued to walk. A bush near us started to rustle. I jumped back as four Mightyenas came out from hiding.
"Well, what do we have here?"
*faint breathing* OK, I think I've calmed enough to do an A/N note now. It's amazing how calm writing can make you.
Fenn: Josh! I- umm... why are you a Shinx?
Me: *sighs* Fenn, I told you. Here, read the first chapter.
Fenn: *reads the chapter* O-Oh.
Me: *nods* *falls asleep on Fenn*
Fenn: ! *quickly runs away, grabs a blanket and puts it under me.*
