Lightning crashed and thunder boomed as the human held onto someone close to him. "Hold on dude!" "Just…hang…on!" "Nooo!" This is all he could hear before he was sucked up by some power pulling him. These are the last things the human remembers before the incident. What happened to the human you ask. You'll find out soon enough but first, let's go to another place. Outside Wigglytuff's Guild, Shaymin was hiding behind a bush looking at it.
"Oh boy, there it is, the infamous Wigglytuff's Guild, where the best exploration teams are trained," She said to herself, "I got to ask to join, but what if the guild master rejects me, or thinks I'm too small?" She wiggled her head to muster up her courage. "Come on Shaymin! You can do this!" As soon as she put her foot on the dirt, a sound went off.
"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!" Diglett said, popping out of the ground and spinning it's head.
"EEEKKK!" Shaymin shrieked, she ran away as fast as she could. She was already in Apple Woods seconds after the alarm.
"Oh, I bailed out again, I'm just not brave enough to do this by myself!" She said sorrowfully to herself. She began to walk with her head down through the woods, passing by the many apple trees. Then, by the spring, she saw something small and round. It looked like a small brown ball lying on the ground. She looked a little closer, and it was a Pokémon lying on the ground, unconscious, a Rowlet. She couldn't just leave him there, she had to do something to make sure it was stay alive. "Hey, are you ok?" She asked it, tapping on it. The Rowlet mumbled.
"Come on, get a grip of yourself!" She yelled. The Rowlet opened his eyes. "Oh, thank goodness you're ok!" Shaymin said. The Rowlet jumped up in shock.
"Whoa! You can talk! But you're a Pokémon and Pokémon can't talk!" He said.
"But you're a Pokémon too, you should know Pokémon can talk" She said, thinking he was joking.
"What are you talking about? I'm not a Pokémon," The Rowlet explained, "I'm a human; I'm just a normal human being" He said. "Well see for yourself" Shaymin said pointing at the spring. He walked over to the spring to see his reflection, he did not see the human being he expected to see, instead he saw a Rowlet in its place.
"AHHHH! I'VE TURNED INTO A ROWLET!" he screamed. It echoed across Apple Woods causing may birds to fly away. He began to run around the woods in horror of his transformation and Shaymin chased him.
"Rowlet! Wait! Calm down!" She yelled at him. She finally caught up to him and stood in front of him to make sure he would escape her.
"Now if you really are a human, just calmly retrace your steps; what do you remember the last time you were a human?" She asked.
"Uhhh…errr…" he mumbled, scratching his head, "I…I…I can't remember, just a few voices telling me to hang on, and then nothing, I can't remember a thing."
"So, you can't remember your life as a human or why you became a Pokémon for that matter?" Shaymin asked him.
"Yes, pretty much" Rowlet said, "What will I do? I turned into a Pokémon and I can't even figure out why?! I can't even remember my own name!"
Shaymin pitied the poor Rowlet, she wasn't sure if he was joking now by the tone of his voice, she felt like she had to help him.
"Hey, maybe the wise Xatu might know how this happened, he lives by the Spring of Wisdom, I'll take you to him and we can figure out all this" Shaymin said.
"That would be appreciated" Rowlet said.
He followed her through the woods to this mystical spring with crystal blue water and glowing particles floating all around it. Rowlet looked around in awe of it all. "Is this the Spring of Wisdom?" Rowlet asked. A Natu came out from the small waterfall. "No, it's the other spring that holds infinite wisdom, of course it's the spring of wisdom you dope!" She said sarcastically.
"Give it a rest, Natu" Xatu said, revealing himself from the waterfall. Shaymin and Rowlet were shook by his presence. His elegance and knowledge stood out to them even when he was telling Natu to stop. He held his wings near his chest and the only thing that would move during the conversation was his head.
"Please excuse her, she's my niece staying with me for the month while her parents are going on a beach vacation" Xatu explained.
"Unc, they don't need to know!" Natu said, annoyed.
"Well it's respectful that you tell others what is happening instead of keeping it all to yourself" Xatu said to her, sternly.
"Um, excuse me" Rowlet shouted, trying to get them back on track, "We got a situation!"
"Oh right, forgive me, what is it that you want?" Xatu asked, turning his head back to him.. Rowlet explained everything.
"That is strange, a human turning into a Pokémon" Xatu said after Rowlet finished.
"So how did this happen?" Rowlet asked.
Xatu closed his eyes and thought for a minute. The silence was intense for all of them, even Natu.
"While it is true that you are a human-turned-Pokémon, I am at a loss at why" Xatu finally said. Rowlet and Shaymin let out a big 'awww!' disappointed in the simple yet discouraging answer.
"Some all-knowing bird you are!" Natu sarcastically said. Shaymin looked over at Rowlet, who was scowling.
"Are you ok?" She asked, placing her paw on his side.
"Great! Even the wisest bird in all of this world can't figure it out!" Rowlet exclaimed.
"However," Xatu continued, "there is a reason." Rowlet raised his head up. "What do you mean?" he asked. "You came to this world as a Pokémon for a reason. I do not know what this reason is, but I know that you were not put into this world by accident" Xatu articulated. He slowly re-entered the waterfall with his wings still close to his chest. "I guess that's my cue to go too" Natu said entering the waterfall.
