Hello! I really wanted to update this story, so updating I am! Yahoo! …A simply odd question has been ringing through my head. Is ARCEUS god, or MEW? I mean, Mew had to come from somewhere, but Arceus would, too… I would bet Arceus created Mew, who in turn created most Pokemon, while Arceus was busy creating Legendaries out of Mew's DNA (come on, they don't poof out of nowhere, they have to have been based on Mew's DNA…). You know, I'll write a story like the Pokemon Old Testament, explain the development of Pokemon. Don't steal the idea! Please! ToT
Let's go!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hours passed in the bathroom, while Manta explained most of the points of Pokemon to Faust and Tamao. Manta felt a little proud of knowing something Faust didn't, but still was in shock from becoming a Pokemon. How had it happened? Why was he a Ralts? Why did Tamao, of all people, become a Mew?
"Because I'm pinkish in general…" Tamao muttered. Manta jerked away, realizing that she had responded to his thoughts. "Oops, sorry!" she apologized, "I guess I can read minds…"
Faust was frightened, but had confidence in Manta to get the situation sorted out. "Ahh, it's about 6:00!" he said after a while, looking at a wall clock. "Maybe Mistress Anna's awake by now!"
Tamao shook her head, wagging her tail at Faust. "Now, Anna-sama's probably sleeping! Given the chance, she'll sleep longer then Yoh-kun does!" They all shared a brief laugh, which was abruptly ended by a scream down the hall. "Ah, screw it, she's up." Tamao said, deadpan. "May as well go down there and see if she's okay." Faust stood up, and threw Manta onto his shoulder, ignoring his wails of protest. Tamao floated by his head, and the three stepped out of the bathroom, back down the hall.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anna Kyoama stood staring at her mirror, not believing what she was seeing. Some weird, bug-like thing was looking back at her! It almost looked like a wasp, but with a… dress on! "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god…" she moaned, backing away from the mirror. "Oh my god, oh my god, OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" She ran away from the mirror and hid in her bed, and jumped back out when she realized that she had wings, and they wouldn't fit under the blankets!
"Mistress Anna!" she heard a light, lilting voice travel through the hallway. She already knew who it was, and wondered if Faust had performed some demon surgery the night before, and left her looking like a bee. "Mistress Anna!"
"FAUST!!" Anna screamed, "WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!" She yanked her door open, and expected to see Faust there. Instead, she saw some tall, white and green creature wearing a doctor's jacket, along with a pink floating kitten, and a smaller version of the green and white thing.
"Mistress Anna! Mist- OH, MY LORD." Faust exclaimed, stepping back. What?! Was she a bug?! "Ahh! Manta told me that Tamao and I have become Pokemon, and…" he paused, and gestured to Manta to continue. Manta hopped off Faust's shoulder, and examined Anna carefully (…in the right context, "examined her" sounds WRONG…)
"Hmm…" Manta wondered, stepping back. "You're a Vespiquen!" Anna shook her head, not understanding.
"No, my name is Anna, and I'm a HUMAN." she stated, wringing her hands (well, not really hands, but…). "Ugh, what is going ON?!?!" Tamao floated up near Anna's head.
"Err… it seems that we've all become Pokemon, Anna-sama, just like Faust said." Anna looked at her, confused. That pink thing was TAMAO?! Weird!
"Pokemon… err, just HOW did this happen?!" she asked. She easily got frustrated when she didn't know something. Tamao shrugged.
"I don't think ANYBODY knows, mam!" She answered, floating back over to Faust. "I'm really not used to being a floating little dead kitty, either…"
"You're not a 'kitty', Tamao!" Manta yelled, exasperated. "You're a MEW. The Pokemon that created all Pokemon! And you're not DEAD!" Tamao shrugged again, and reclined in the air, wishing she had slept a little more.
Faust shifted uncomfortably, wishing Anna wasn't glaring at him as if it was HIS fault. "Err… maybe we can watch the news!" he said brightly, pretending he wasn't still in mild panic. "Maybe this has happened all over town, and there's some information about it on-"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
Tamao flinched, looking up the stairs where the scream had come from. "LYSERG!" she cried, "LYSERG! WHAT'S WRONG?!"
Faust sighed, looking away. "Guess I'd better watch the news, then…" he muttered, drifting down the hall from the escalating chaos. Tamao saw he was walking away, and followed him, leaving Anna and Manta near Lyserg's room.
"Faust, you don't think anyone did this on purpose, do you?" she asked anxiously. "You know, like… like Hao?" Faust lowered his head, thinking.
"I really don't know, Tamao." he answered sadly. "All we can do is go watch the news to see who it's happened to…"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the living room, Faust turned on the television, blocking out the screams coming from all around the house. Tamao sat next to him, trying to hide from Anna. Boy, did she have a temper when things didn't go her way!
"…okay, here's the news…" Faust muttered. Not surprisingly, there wasn't a human newscaster, but something that looked like a little yellow mouse, with a thunderbolt for a tail.
"Ah! I know this one!" Tamao exclaimed happily. "It's a Pikachu!" The Pikachu (usually the breaking-news reader) looked panicked as he reported the news.
"…in a mass fiasco, it seems as though the whole world's humans have become Pokemon at midnight last night…" the reader said. "…Throngs of people headed to Nintendo Headquarters to get an explanation, but none was to be found." The reader suddenly stopped, and sent currents of electricity shooting out from his tail. "Sorry, I have to do that periodically…" he apologized. "Anyhow, it seems that people are becoming Pokemon that have something to do with them. I, for example, have become Pikachu, due to my blond hair, and my love for fiddling with electronics! Don't tell my wife!" The reader laughed, and Faust couldn't help but think of Chocolove, and laugh as well.
"Pokemon that have something to do with them? Ahh…" Tamao started to make sense of the situation. "Ahh… I guess Gallades are tall, loyal, and use blades!" Faust looked at her, raising an eyebrow.
"Now, is that ALL you know about me? That I'm loyal to Yoh, I'm tall, and I use blades?!" Tamao nodded sheepishly. "Well, then, Mews must be shy, childish, and never know if they're dead or not!" Tamao looked at Faust, infuriated.
"What do you mean, CHILDISH?!" she yelled, hurt. "I can be mature if I want!" She sat down, and made her face look serious. "From now on, I'll be mature! I'll be sensible! I won't be necromatically confused! I'll-"
"Oh, look, Tamao, the Ice-Cream van's outside!" Faust said suddenly.
"ICE CREAM!!!!!" Tamao screamed with joy, pelting out the door in a flash. Faust chuckled. She couldn't be mature for five minutes. He looked down at his arms, still wondering how blades could retract into his elbows, or (more importantly) how evolution could have allowed ANYTHING to have such crazy hips!
"Sigh…" Faust sighed, flopping over on the couch. "This is just surreal…" He saw Tamao float back into the room, looking a little angrier then usual.
"I just remembered: the Ice Cream Truck doesn't come on SUNDAYS, YOU LIAR!!!" she yelled, sitting down next to Faust. "Honestly, I can be mature!" Faust grinned.
"I never said you COULDN'T…" he sighed, feeling drowsy. Maybe he WAS turning into Yoh! "I just… I don't know, I was insulted." Tamao felt confused.
"Insulted? What did I do to insult you?" she asked. Faust shrugged.
"I don't even remember what I was mad about anymore… just let me sleep…" he moaned. Ugh, he could swear that if he fell asleep, he would wake up and everything would be normal…
"Did you feel that way when Eliza died?" Tamao asked. Faust flinched, and sat up, looking at her strangely. "Oh, yeah, gee… not supposed to read minds…" Tamao hung her head. "I'm sorry…" Faust chuckled, and shook his head.
"It's alright, just… I don't know, this is a little much for me, being turned into a Pokemon…" Faust turned his head back to the television, wondering just how this would be taken care of.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay, let's review." Manta said, addressing everyone at the table. All the members of team Funbari/Ren/formerly X-Laws/Patch were sitting at the dining table, waiting for the diagnosis from Manta.
"Okay, I'm a Ralts, Tamao's a Mew, Faust's a Gallade," he listed off, "Anna's a Vespiquen, Lyserg's a Roserade, Ryu's a Ludicolo, Ren's a Gliscor, Horohoro's a Glalie, Chocolove's a Lickylicky, Silva's a Flygon, Kalim's a Hariyama, and Yoh's…" he paused to stop himself from laughing. "Yoh's a Zigzagoon."
"This SUCKS." Yoh grumbled, waving his tail uselessly. "Of all the COOL Pokemon to become, why the heck did I become a little RACOON?!"
"ZIGZAGOON, not raccoon!" Manta cried, hating it when people made that mistake. "I don't know, Yoh, you act more like a Slaking, but I guess you look more like a Zigzagoon then anything!" Yoh groaned, and rolled over on his back.
"The greatest thing I can do," he said sadly, "Is play dead." He put on a silly voice. "Who wants to eat some rotten Zigzagoon, because I'm here! Come and eat me, vultures!" Lyserg shook his head, little petals falling to the floor.
"At least you don't look like a girl!" he said, waving his bouquet-like arms. "Come on! I go through that EVERY DAY, and the one Pokemon I get to look like, the ONE POKEMON, just happens to be a girly one, as well! Why does this always happen to me?!" He sighed under his breath, and rested his head on the table.
"Dude, at least you don't look like a cross between a duck and a pineapple." Ryu moaned. "How will I get girls like this? I can't do funny jokes with my pompadour anymore!" Faust looked at him.
"Your jokes about pompadours were FUNNY?" he asked dryly.
"Sure!" Ryu exclaimed, laughing. "You can always pretend it's genitalia, and ask girls if they want a really big-" Ryu never finished that sentence, for Faust smacked him on the side of the head for being perverted, not realizing just how hard he had hit him (Note: 6 words that start with H! In a ROW!), or that there was electricity in his punch! Ryu fell to the floor and whimpered, feeling a sore coming on.
"I don't know about you, I think its COOL being a Pokemon!" Ren said proudly, flapping his wings and brandishing his sharp tail.
"Dude, that's because you don't have a name like Lickylicky!" Chocolove cried, upset. "I mean, WHY?! Of ALL the things!"
"So you can make a dumb joke about it, duh." Horohoro said. "I think it's pretty cool, being a… Glalie, is it called Glalie?"
"Yup!" Manta said, happy they could remember their names. Silva was hovering in the air, watching Kalim flex his newly found muscles.
"Wow, I can FLY!" Silva said happily, "I can FLY! I swear, I'm gonna go and see just how high I can go!" He blasted high into the air, resultantly smashing the ceiling into pieces. Ren flew up there in a blink of an eye, and whipped all the pieces back into the roof before it collapsed.
"YEAH!" he screamed, "I'm badass!" With a holler of pride, he darted out of the room to fly along with Silva, Horohoro following straight behind. Faust laughed a little, and sighed. It wouldn't be BAD if he could fly. He would rather enjoy it!
"Look at me, guys! I'm carrion! I'm rotting animal!" Yoh said in a dumb voice, flopping like a raccoon that had just been hit by a car. "Fear me, I have the power of sending an unimpressive rotting scent into the room! Ahh!" He looked at Manta. "Manta, can Zigzagoons do ANYTHING cool?! ANYTHING?!"
Manta thought for a moment. "Well… they are noted for being able to find rare and useful items on the ground. If any of us ever lose a rare gem or a wristwatch, I'm sure you can retrieve it for us." Yoh groaned loudly, and leapt onto the floor.
"OOH! Look what I found! A DUST-BUNNY! All hail YOH! Ahh!" With one last sarcastic comment made, Yoh began to crawl back to his room, not aware that he was unable to open the door in this form (well, unless he nudged it with his nose…).
Faust shook his head for what he thought was the millionth time that morning. Eliza would think this is funny, he thought to himself.
"Wait a moment?!" he said out loud, "where IS Eliza?!?!"
Tamao started, and looked around her quickly. "Hey, I haven't seen Ponchi or Conchi, either! Not even Amidamaru!" She began to worry. "Where did the spirits go?!?!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where DID the spirits go? Why, you won't ever know unless you review! My will to write will be vanquished otherwise!
In case you didn't know, Faust VIII is my favorite S.K. character, with Tamao, Manta, and Lyserg in a three-way tie for second.
REVIVEW.
I love you guys. All of you. Every single one. Even the jerky ones. I want to hear from you all. So review, please.
