Kayla POV

It was a hot summer afternoon in the good ol' state of Oregon. The sun was just setting as I laid down on my bed, relaxing under the cool breeze of a fan.

"Hah..." I sighed with relief as I let the breeze hit me. "It's too hot..." I groaned as I reached over and grabbed a black new nintendo 3ds xl.

As the system turned on, there was a cute green dinosaur behind multiple games that showed up on the touch screen. "Hmm..." I hummed as I looked over the game selection.

"Kayla, where are you?" My mother called.

"I'm upstairs in my room." I replied, not looking up from my system.

My mom walked into the doorway. "Kayla, I'm going up to the store with Billy. Can you think of anything we need?" She asked.

"Hmm...nothing comes to mind." I replied.

"Alright. I'll see you later." She waved.

"Later mom." I replied.

"Now to get back to this...eh, guess I'll play some Pokemon Yellow." I said to myself as I scrolled the icon over a yellow mouse.

As I pressed "A" on the game system, the screen went black. A few seconds rolled by, but no montage of a yellow mouse running across the screen showed.

"Uh...Did I break it?" I wondered as I started to press random buttons.

Maybe if I turned it off? I thought as I eyed the power button.

"H-Hello? Is this thing on?" A voice said.

"What?" I looked back up to the top screen to see a weird blue glow that was almost like a ring.

"Hurry up, Elgy. I can't hold it much longer..." A voice said.

"Right, right." The voice replied to a friend.

"Anyway, My name is professor Elgem. I research all kinds of things in this world. Tell me, are you maybe a human?" The voice asked.

"Uh...Yes?" I replied.

"Oh! Wonderful! Abu, we finally did it!" He rejoiced.

"Yes...but hurry up, I'm tired..." This "Abu" replied.

"Okay. Anyway, do you think I would be able to learn more about you humans?"

What kind of glitch is this?I just wanted to play Pokemon Yellow?

"Uh, sure?" I replied.

"Great! I will meet you in my lab." Professor Elgem said.

Wait...meet me in your lab? What?

The glow on the 3ds stopped and returned to black. Soon, the 3ds's camera started to glow the same color of blue.

"What is going on here?" I asked as I watched the glow become bigger and bigger.

Before I knew it, the glow was pulling me in, surrounding me.

"What?! No! Nuuuuu!" I yelled as I watched my room vanish.

"Wh..."

Everything went dark.


? hours later

"...Argh..." I groaned.

"Wh-Where am I?" I looked around to find myself on a bed in a small wooden room.

"Oh, I'm glad you're finally awake." I turned my head to see a yellow reptile-like creature enter the room.

Wait...a talking pokemon?

"Are you...a pokemon?" I asked timidly.

"Huh? Of course I am. I'm a helioptile to be exact." He replied.

"My name is Finn. I live in this house with my family. We found you passed out in the road outside here." He smiled.

"Wait...I was passed out?" I asked.

"Yeah. You must have traveled a long way and became exhausted." Finn hypothesized.

"So where are you from? We don't get many Pikachu out here." Finn asked.

"Wait, pikachu? I'm a human..." I said.

"Really? You look like a Pikachu to me." Finn replied.

"Wait, what?"

I looked down at my hand and saw it was no longer a hand, but a yellow paw.

"Huh?" I then turn my head and see a yellow lightning bolt tail with a shape almost like a heart at the end of it.

I then felt on top of my head were two pointed ears with black tips.

"What the heck?! I'm not a pikachu!" I yelled as I looked over myself.

"Um...did you hit your head when you passed out?" Finn asked.

"No I did not hit my head. I am a human." I said firmly.

"Uh...Mom! Our guest is acting weird..." The helioptile called.

"I am not acting weird." I replied.

Soon, a giant dark gray fox with red hair walked into the room.

"Finn, that's no way to treat our guest." The fox said.

"S-Sorry momma..." Finn replied.

"Escuse me, are you a Zoroark?" I asked.

"That's right."

"Mom, she says she's not a pikachu, but a human." Finn explained.

"A human?" She asked as she turned to me.

"Y-Yes." I stuttered.

"Well that's something. By the way, my name is Miss Shade, and this is my son, Finn." She introduced.

"I'm Kayla." I replied. "Anyway, where am I exactly?" I asked.

"You're in our village, Meadow Springs." Finn replied.

"Tell me, Kayla. What do you remember before coming to our village?" Miss Shade asked.

"Hmm...Well, I remember this strange blue glow, and then I heard two voices. I think their names were Elgem and Abu?" I recalled.

"Oh! That must be the professor from the other side of town." Finn thought.

"A professor?" I asked.

"Yes, an elgyem to be exact. He lives in a big blue egg shaped building on the other side of town." Miss Shade replied.

"I can take you to him." Finn offered.

"Really? That would be great actually." I replied.

"Awesome. Lets get going." Finn said excitedly.

"Now Finn, I want you to take her straight to the professor's, no sidetracking." Finn's mother instructed.

"Yeah, Yeah, Mom. C'mon, Kayla." Finn said as he ran out of the room.

"H-Hey, wait for me." I yelled as I ran after him.


Finn and I kept walking as we got into the middle of town.

"You sure this is a village? Seems as big as a town to me." I said as I walked along.

"Yup. Where my parents and I live is where the village is. We're just getting into the center of it all now." Finn explained.

"So what is a human anyway?" Finn asked.

"Well, for one I'm much taller than this. And I never had a tail." I said as I looked behind at my tail.

"I've never really heard of a human before, except for in some fairy tales." Finn said.

"Fairy tales?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, stuff about pokemon becoming stronger with humans by their side, stuff like that." Finn explained.

"Oh hey, there's the cafe. We should stop in there on our way to the professor's." Finn suggested.

"But aren't we supposed to head straight there? No sidetracking?" I asked.

"Yeah yeah, that can wait. C'mon, there are some really nice friends I want you to meet." Finn said as he ran towards the cafe.

"Finn! Argh...Is he gonna do this all the way to the lab?" I asked myself.

I followed Finn into a big cafe with yellow streamers hanging from the sign.

"Yeah, she should be-oh there she is. Kayla, over here!" Finn waved as he stood at the counter.

"Sigh..." I walked over to the counter where a turtle in a red shell was.

"Kayla, this is Barry, the owner of the cafe. Barry, this is Kayla."

"Hello there. It is not every day a human walks into my shop." The shuckle chuckled.

"Yeah, hi. Finn, we really need to get to this lab." I reminded him.

"We will, we will." He replied.

"What business do you have at professor Elgem's lab?" Barry asked.

"Look, it's kind of a long story. I really need to go." I insisted.

Soon, a purple snake slithered up to the counter.

"Ah!" I said startled as I noticed the snake.

"I'll take a hondew berry slurpee." The snake ordered.

"Yes, coming right up." Barry said as he turned away to the counters in the back.

I watched as Barry was working. Finn then turned to the snake.

"Hey Bane. How's it going?" Finn asked.

"I'm doing alright. Who's your friend?" The snake asked.

"This is Kayla. My mom and I found her passed out in front of our house." He explained.

"Passed out?" He asked.

"Apparently I was. I can't remember coming to this town though..." I explained.

"That's too bad. Hope things work out for you." He smiled.

"Thanks." I smiled back. "Okay, Finn, we really need to get going." I insisted.

"Fine...I'll take you there now." Finn said disappointingly.


Finn eventually lead me to a round egg-shaped building that was across town.

"Okay, this is the place." Finn said as he walked up the the door.

"Professor Elgem? Are you in here?" Finn asked as he walked inside.

"I don't understand it...it should have worked..." A voice in another room said.

"Yeah...I'm not gonna be able to do that again...that was exhausting..." Another voice replied.

Finn and I walked into the other room.

"Professor?" Finn said.

"Ah, Finn. How good to see you again. How is your family?" An elgyem greeted.

"They're doing well." Finn replied.

Finn looked over the elgyem's shoulder and saw a kadabra lying on the floor.

"What happened to Abu?" Finn asked.

"Eh...We had an experiment but it took a lot more out of him than I expected." He replied.

"I'll be fine...I'm just exhausted." The kadabra said as he raised his arm.

"Now then, who is the pikachu behind you?" The elgyem asked.

"Professor, this is my friend Kayla. She said she needed to see you?" Finn said as he referred to me.

"Oh?"

"Uh...Hi. My name is Kayla?" I introduced myself as I walked up to the professor.

"Yes. I am Professor Elgem You needed something?" He asked.

"Er...I think you contacted me. I'm not sure how...but you were asking about humans?" I said.

"..." The elgyem stayed silent.

"Abu! It worked! It actually worked!" He cheered.

"It did?" The kadabra asked as he looked up.

"Yes. This pikachu...hmm..." The elgyem floated around me as it inspected me.

"Uh...what are you doing?" I asked.

"Yes yes, that is strange. You claim you are a human, but you are a pikachu, no?" The professor asked.

"Well...I can't explain it, but somehow when you contacted me, there was this strange glow. Next thing I know I wake up in a cabin across town..." I explained.

"That glow must have been Abu's psychic power. No wonder it took so much out of you, Abu." Professor Elgem said to his friend.

"Are you kidding? I'd have to be an alakazam to do that again..." Abu said as he limped over.

"So...about that teleportation thingie...Is there anyway to send me back?" I asked.

Professor Elgem blinked.

"Oh gosh...I never thought of that..." He admitted.

"What?! Are you serious?" I asked.

"Ehehe...When I made the machine I never made the calculations for sending a species back. I was so fascinated with the idea it must have slipped my mind." He said.

"What machine? I thought you said it was Abu's power?" I asked.

"Actually, it was a combination of this machine here and Abu's psychic power that it took to work. But I'm afraid it will take too much energy from Abu to do it again." He explained.

"So Kayla can't return to her world?" Finn asked.

"It appears that way..." He regretted.

"Well that's just peachy...What kind of professor doesn't think to install a reverse switch?!" I asked as I glared at the elgyem.

"Again, a million apologizes. I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait until I can improve the machine to send you back." He apologized.

"Oh yeah? Well listen man, I have a family, friends, a life back home. I did NOT sign up for this!" I growled as electricity shot out from my cheeks.

"Listen, as sorry as I am, I cannot do anything at the moment. You're just going to have to wait." The professor said compassionately.

"Argh..." I groaned.

"Elgey, how exactly are we going to do that?" The kadabra asked.

"I don't know for sure, but I bet that if we can get a human to our world, there has to be a way to send them back." He replied.

"Okay. Want me to see if I can contact some more pokemon to help us?" Abu asked.

"Yeah, that would be good. But don't strain yourself after all this." Elgem cautioned.

"No problem." Abu replied as he headed into another room.

I then turned to the professor.

"Okay, but what am I supposed to do while I wait for you to build your machine?" I asked.

"Well, I would suggest that you stay in Meadow Springs for now until I can come up with something." The professor suggested.

"That's easy. She can stay with my family." Finn replied.

"Good good. I suggest that you show her around then, seeing as she's going to be here awhile." Professor Elgem instructed.

Don't remind me... I groaned.

"Alright. C'mon, Kayla." Finn said as he headed for the door.

"Fine...See you later, professor." I said as I followed Finn out the door.
