My name is Jake, and I have a life more complicated than most people's lives. You see, I'm a pokemorph. The world's first, in fact. A pokemorph is someone who can touch a pokemon, which are not found in our world, and then become it at will. Luckily, my dad is a scientist, and has made a test model for a portal into any other world or place in space. But I had better start from the beginning.
Last month, I was living a normal, boring life. I had nothing to live for, so I ran away and gave myself up for military research. They just happened to need someone for a special experiment, and gladly accepted me. The experiment was to help troops out at war by letting them transform into animals. And because of my dad's invention, they used pokemon instead of animals. You see, pokemon DNA is more complicated than Earth animals, and if pokemon transformations are possible, animals are definitely going to work. So they laid me down on this metal table and hooked up all these wires and cords to me. They strapped me in so tight it hurt. One scientist had some charmander DNA acquired from the portal. They loaded it into a big needle, and I started hyperventilating. They carefully inserted the needle that had the special DNA, my new pokemorph DNA, and the charmander DNA mixed together into my arm.
The pain was unbearable! I tried to scream, but all that came out was "Charmander!" and the pain slowly went away. I had become a pokemorph! My first form was a charmander! The cables came off and the straps loosened. I was concentrating on the charmander, like the kids in Animorphs, and I became the charmander inside me! It was almost overwhelming, the charmander's mind was playful and serious at the same time, an impossible feat for normal humans. I got to the floor and concentrated on the picture of myself in the back of my mind. I felt my bones crunching as they grew and changed. I murmured "That was awesome." and went to the machine my dad made. I had an urge to get more forms and figure out the limits to my new powers. A scientist said calmly, "Now get away from there, we have some tests for you." But I turned the machine to "Pokemon World" and opened the portal. "I guess we can wait on the tests. But remember, touch a pokemon to acquire it." The scientist said. Just then, I realized my parents were probably worried sick about me. But I thought, They're already worried, so I can go. I stepped into the portal. Everything flew past me in such a blur that I didn't know when it was almost done. Then, everything snapped to stillness and I went flying.
I guess the military portal sent you to a random place. From what I know about pokemon, I was near pallet town. Good! That's where the portal to my dad's lab is! He set it up so we could get back. I was going to go straight to my dad's portal, then I could use my powers again! I walked along the path, and right when the town was in sight, a ratata came running at me. Another morph! I dived. As soon as I touched it I felt a shock. I let go. The shock must have meant I acquired it. Just then a team rocket member came running toward me screaming "Get that ratata!" and getting closer.
