Being John Gabumon by Jackralmon



Chapter 1



I'm a normal American teenager. I go to High School, I hang out with friends, I go to the movies. I do everything so many other teenagers do. My name is John and at 16 with short brown hair I am probably as completely unassuming as I could ever be. Just like everything else, it was a normal Thursday. I had been at the mall with my friends Sara and Jared and had just gotten home. After having dinner I went up to my room and turned on the computer. I planned to play one of my favorite computer games, but first I had to check my E-mail. There was the usual junk, a list of stupid jokes from my uncle, and something strange. I sat there dumbfounded. Something strange? That was unusual. So I opened it up. It said,

"Here is the file you requested. No questions asked."

The E-mail address gave no indication to where it was from, and then I noticed that it had a file attached. I opened the file, before freaking out forgetting it was probably a virus. I didn't even get a chance to try to stop downloading before it finished and automatically opened up. I covered my eyes imagining the computer slowly being eaten up by a horrible virus. I peeked at the screen and saw that there wasn't a virus but some sort of program. The program had a large black screen in the middle and a list of weird words that all ended in –mon. The only thing I could think of that ended in mon was Pokemon. I had absolutely no idea at what this was. The list contained words like agumon, biyomon, betamon, greymon, ect. It seemed like gibberish. So I randomly picked a word. Gabumon. The black screen started flashing; Asian words appeared in the corner like it was loading something. Then I felt my body start pulling towards the computer screen.

"Oh S#*%"! I yelled and grabbed the arms on my chair. Colored light were flashing out from the screen. My face was pushing into the screen and then I felt my whole body be sucked into the computer. I felt like I was falling until I touched what felt like ground in a very painful crunch. I tried to look around, but couldn't. My vision was blurry, but slowly cleared. I tired to look around but still couldn't move my muscles. All I could see was a jungle with weird looking plants. Then my vision started moving. It looked like I was moving towards a plant with berries on it. Everything felt strange. I felt shorter, I felt like I was naked except for some cloth covering by back and head. I reached the plant and a yellow hand with a clawed paw attached to it and grabbed a couple of berries and plopped them into what felt like my mouth. I tried to scream out loud but couldn't. I suddenly felt thirsty and without my control, what felt like body walked to a river and took a handful of water and drank it. After finishing drinking I saw my shocking reflection in the river. I looked like a dog with a big yellow horn on top of my head. I had a big black nose and sort of blue and white fur draped over yellow scaly skin. I felt shocked but the face in the reflection looked bored. Confusion didn't even come near to describing what I was feeling.

"Gabumon!" I heard someone yell. The creatures head moved to look at the voice.

"Gabumon! Hi." Said a large pink bird thing.

"Hi." Said me/it.

"What are you doing?" asked the bird. The creature who I think was named Gabumon, said something but I was too freaked out to hear. I wanted out of this thing! I wanted control of my body! I did everything in my power to move my arm, legs or even my tail! Gabumon's arm suddenly jerked up. Suddenly I realized that I had moved it.

"What the?!" said Gabumon perplexed.

"What?" said the bird.

"I don't know my arm..Uh never mind it's nothing." Suddenly everything went black, and I felt like I was falling, and I kept falling until, Splash! I was in water. I swam to the surface and looked around. I was in my backyard pool and it was dark out.
