"Man, you sure are heavy." I heard a voice say. He must have been carrying me since I felt sand sliding on my back. I opened my eyes to see what was going on and saw a Pikachu dragging me by the feet. He had a black headband that looked torn or burned. I also noticed that my feet weren't the same I had when I went to sleep. They looked like a squirrel's, but bigger.

"Hey, let go of me." I finally said. "Well, look who's finally awake. You were asleep so long I thought you were dead." He let go of my legs and sat down. Since my feet looked like a wild animal's, I walked over to the river right by us. Walking was surprisingly easy. When I looked at the ocean, I saw the reflection of a chinchilla-looking animal with big ears. "Oh no! I turned into a giant chinchilla!" I screamed in terror. "Actually, you're a Minccino, and what do you mean turned into?"

I told him that I used to be a human. "I'm not sure what happened, but I when I went to sleep, I woke up to you dragging me!" "So, she wasn't the only one." He said he had met an Eevee who told him the same thing. Although I couldn't believe this happening to anyone else."By the way, what's your name?" The Pikachu asked. I tried remembering my own name, but I drew a blank. So I made a name for myself. "Tyler. Nice to meet you, and you are?" "Lucas." "So, where's your family?" He didn't answer all he did was tighten his torn headband and said, "I don't want to talk about it." I respected his decision since I could tell what happened. "So, is there anywhere else to go besides here?" "Sure, come with me. I'll show you around town."
