Ugh…my head. It hurts and my body feels heavy and numb. What happened to me? Ouch. I rolled my head from side to side and stretched my paws out to try and get some feeling into my body. I then realised that I had paws. I had paws. And six tails. When I opened my eyes, I closed them immediately again when bright lights entered my vision, adding more pain to my headache. I tried to remember what had happened but the only images that flickered in my head was when I dropped off my Glaceon at the Beauty Spa. I couldn't remember much else apart from the fact that I was very much human.
A rough hand grabbed me by the scruff and I landed heavily on some straw. I opened my eyes again, thankful that it was dimmer now and looked around. I was in a cage and I could smell the mixed scent of chemicals and Pokémon food. Seeing a water bowl, I managed to stumble up onto my paws and walk over to have a drink and see my reflection. When I saw a Vulpix looking back at me, I shook my head in disbelief. This had to be a dream, it had to be! Humans can't turn into Pokémon.
"Well, we finally found the correct formula for the metamorphism," someone said outside.
"Our boss will be pleased indeed."
I walked over to the grate of my cage and looked up at the men in white coats.
"What did you do to me?" I asked.
But it looked like they didn't understand me. They just turned away and walked off. I was left alone and I didn't want to just wait and see what they would do to me next. I opened my mouth and breathed on the bars. Nothing but air came out. I tried again and a little bit of steam came out. I tried again and again until I got a flame going. I focused and breathed with all my might. The bars melted from my fire and I held my breath, freezing as if something would thwart my escape route. Nothing did, so I jumped down, my paws sliding against the polished white tiles, landing heavily on my front.
The door was left ajar by the men in white coats but I didn't dare go out and risk getting caught again. I looked around and noticed a vent by a desk. I skidded over and melted the grate to squeeze in and find my way out. It wasn't long until sirens went off and people shouting below me. I assumed that my escape had been found out so I began running. I ran until I came to another grate and melted that too. I poked my head out and saw the long drop below me. I also heard Growlithes and Arcanines barking from behind me. I decided to take the risk and jumped.
I landed on the damp grass and began running into the forest. I saw the lights of torches zipping around and realised that I couldn't possibly outrun humans and definitely not Arcanines. I ran and ran until I saw a den underneath a tree. Without thinking of the possibility that there would be wild Pokemon waiting for me under there, I jumped through and curled up into a tight ball. The footsteps came and passed and I dared to open my eyes. The den seemed abandoned and I relaxed. Fatigue washed over me and before I knew it, I was drifting off to sleep.
