Hi, I'm Axel. I live in the Johto region, and I have a fascination with evolution in the Pokémon world. I have studied many Pokémon with professors from around the world, and what can I say? I'm a prodigy. Today was a normal day. Well, as normal you can get in Goldenrod City. Trainers showing up to battle Whitney, The bike shop as busy as usual and the radio tower broadcasting with Professor Oak. I walked to school, as per usual of the week, and noticed there was construction on the usual route. I tried to get through, but the guards wouldn't let me. So I cut through the tall grass. Yeah, really bad idea. As I dodged the middle of the patch, a small, blue Pokémon ran straight into me. As I stood up, I noticed that the Pokémon was a cute little mudkip. It turned to me and one thought ran through my head, "Danger." I ran to school fast, and felt as if there was something wrong.

As I arrived at school, the feeling of worry went away, and I felt like I usually did. Though throughout the school day, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was changing somehow. I got home by dusk, right when the Pokémon were most active. I headed upstairs, where I proceeded to black out. In my dream, I was in a field, with a wild mudkip in front of me. It glowed with a green aura, and disappeared. I tingled, with the feeling of shrinking, growing different features than a human. I woke with a start, and almost smashed my alarm clock. Stupid thing. I jumped out of bed, and walked downstairs. But I wanted to run outside. I just did not want to be home. I grabbed a piece of toast and ran outside, backpack on my back. As I ran through the grass patch, I tripped. Down I went, tumbling over a root. The last thing I saw was a mudkip, with the green aura.
