No reviews yet? I love you guys too!

Well Chapter 2 is finally up. I was actually hoping to have it finished way earlier, but I was a bit busy with other stuff. It's way longer than the first one though, almost double its size (6250 words as opposed to 3360 words).

This one takes place about a month before Chapter 1, and deals with the events that led Hale into becoming a Pichu. The first part is a tiny bit too serious for my tastes and also quite long, but this chapter is important for Hale's background story so whatever, I got over it.

Chapter 2

(Nicholas Hale's POV)

One month before the events of Chapter 1, somewhere in Viridian city...

I woke up as a beam of sunlight shone through a gap between the curtains that blocked the view of my bedroom from the outside world, right on my face. I grunted as I looked up to my digital clock to see what time it was. I muttered some curses when I saw the clock display 11:34 in large red numbers. "Dammit, can't even remember what time I went to bed." I thought whilst removing some eye crust from the corner of my left eye. I looked around the room and spotted my two Pokémon. Strela, my Rankurusu whom I received as a gift from my parents when I turned 10. Back then she was still a young Yuniran, but I raised her well as she evolved into a Dubiran and then into the Rankurusu I was looking at right now. Then there was Skunker, my Skuntank who I acquired more recently.

I got out of bed as quiet as I could and headed towards the bathroom to take a shower and shave myself. Later on, when I got back to the kitchen to eat breakfast (Or lunch, seeing as it was already past twelve o'clock), I saw that Strela was already up and sitting in a corner on a bean bag. She glanced over at me and nodded to greet me. "Mornin', Strela." I said with a smile as I nodded back.

She looked into my eyes and used telepathy to speak to me. "Good morning, boss. Did you have a goodnight's sleep?"

"Slept like a rock. You?"

"I've had better nights, had some bad dreams."

I gave her a worried look. "Again? That's been happening a lot since we moved here."

She gave out a sigh "Yes, it's getting a tad bit annoying actually, having these frightening dreams almost every night. Hard to get properly rested this way."

"It might help if you told me what those dreams are about, you know." I said, hoping that she would actually tell.

"Nah, dreams are unimportant anyways, it's probably just the change of environments that's causing them." She told me, shrugging "Now where the heck is that Skuntank? He's still sleeping?"

I knew she was just trying to avoid my questions and change subjects, but also knew that she wasn't going to tell me a damn thing anyways, so I just dropped it.

"Guess so, you know how much he values his rest. We can already get ourselves some breakfast though." I said while taking out some food from the fridge.

She smiled. "Good idea, I'm starving."

While eating breakfast, we were joined by Skunker who finally decided to get up as well. I could see that he and Strela were having a conversation. A shame I couldn't speak the Pokémon language, so I could actually understand what they were talking about. Though I suspected they were probably arguing again, as the two of them didn't get along too well for some reason.

After a little while, Skunker simply turned his back to Strela and started eating. Strela glared at him but the Skuntank completely ignored her existence. I let out a chuckle while thinking to myself "Typical for Skunker to just not give a shit about anything and mind his own business.". I knew that that was one of the reasons him and Strela didn't get along too well, as Strela always got annoyed by how careless and oblivious he was to the world around him.

I hoped Strela would just accept the fact that this was just the way the Skuntank was and that arguing wasn't going to change anything. Unfortunately she seemed to just get more and more fed up with him and his attitude as time passed. Then again, he had only been living here with us for about month now, so maybe she'd warm up to him later on.

"Maybe you shouldn't have accepted him in, boss." Strela told me, using her telepathy again.

I scowled; she had been reading my thoughts again. I really didn't like the thought of my mind being read.

"Not my fault you think out loud." she said with a grin on her muzzle.

I rolled my eyes and left the kitchen, heading to the living room and taking place at my work desk. I looked at some notes I wrote on a piece of paper to remind myself what I was busy working on before going to bed yesterday. I muttered some curses as I remembered why I had quit working yesterday. I got completely stuck at one part of my research, an analysis of the branched evolution tree of the Eevee-line, and had trouble finding out what to do next.

I sighed and leaned back in my comfy chair and thought about what had happened in the last few months. I had graduated from college in Hiun City in Isshu at the age of 21 about 7 months ago and moved to Viridian City in Kanto a few months later, hoping to find some work. I was in luck as only week after settling in a man named Clyde had approached me and offered me a contract to work for his company. It had some good payment and he even gifted me a certain Skunktank as a little bonus. I had to compose a report on Pokémon evolution and the moves they learned when evolving. Not that hard of an assignment I thought at first, but it was more complicated than I thought as I had hit several dead ends so far. To make matters worse, the deadline was only a few days away and the report wasn't even near to being finished yet.

"Looks like it's time to shift my ass into a higher gear." I said to myself with a smirk while cracking my fingers before focusing back on my work.

Three days later...

I walked around quite cheerfully that day as I had finally finished up the report despite the issues I had regarding Eeveelutions. Better yet, I had finished it right in time as the deadline was in one hour. I had to deliver my findings personally to my employer, Clyde. I was to meet him at 6 pm at a diner in Viridian city itself and I was not planning on arriving late. I returned both Strela and Skunker to their Pokéballs and picked up my finished report, put on my coat and trilby and left my house, locking the door behind me.

It wasn't that cold outside anymore, as spring was getting nearer. The days were getting longer and nature was slowly coming back to life after the cold winter. I reached the centre of the city, which was still sprawling with activity. People were leaving stores and store owners were busy cleaning up their shops as they were going to close soon. I saw someone miss his bus and heard him cursing while running behind it swinging his arms in an attempt to let it stop, to no avail. I saw a mother trying to comfort her weeping child who had apparently dropped his lollipop into a puddle of water on the street. While a woman who didn't seem to speak English was holding up a map, presumably asking directions, to a Police officer. From the look of the Policeman's face, I doubted he could actually understand a word of what she was saying. I chuckled to myself "Man the city is crazy, there's always something going on and people are always rushing from one place to the other."

It didn't take me long to reach my destination, The Salem Diner. Not exactly the classiest place to go for dinner, but that didn't really matter to me as that wasn't why I had come here. I went inside and looked around to see if I could spot the person who I was looking for, till I spotted him sitting at a table drinking coffee in a corner of the diner. I walked over and took of my trilby and coat, then moved back one of the chairs so I could sit on it.

"Hello there, Clyde." I said with a smile.

"Greetings Mr. Hale, it's been a while since we've last met." he said, before taking a sip from his coffee.

"Quite right. I think you'll be happy to hear that I've managed to complete the requested report." I said with a smile while taking out the binder which contained said report.

"Excellent, it's good to hear we can count on you being on time with your work." He said in his ever so emotionless voice.

I handed the report over to him and he started browsing through it, occasionally halting and reading something, before continuing again. Clyde had a cold and serious attitude, rarely showing any emotion in his voice or showing any facial expressions. He was presumably in his mid-forties and was rather tall. He wore a black suit with red tie, had a pale skin and short black hair.

"Just your average businessman." I thought to myself with a wry little smirk.

He finally finished reading and put the binder away in a black briefcase he was carrying with him.

"Very well, Mr. Hale." he said in his formal tone "It seems that you exceeded our expectations, for which I congratulate you. Now I do have another request for you."

"Which would be…?" I asked, curious at what it'd be

"Our head scientist would like to meet you personally, as she is interested in you."

"What do you mean with 'interested in me'?" I asked, even more curious now.

"She's interested in you working for our company as a full-time researcher. But she wants to meet you first."

"Oh," I said a little surprised at this sudden offer. "man, I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything. You only need to come along with me as I'll take to our research facility." he said.

I wasn't sure how to react on this, still stunned at the sudden offer.

Clyde picked up on my hesitation. "You don't need to decide immediately, you can just go and have a little talk with her and see what's what, then decide later on. If you don't want to join up, then you are free to go and I'll give you your payment."

"Why am I even hesitating?" I thought to myself "I could really use the money and these guys pay really well. Besides, I can still make the actual decision later on."

"Alright," I said "it's a deal Clyde."

He smirked emptily and nodded "There is a car already waiting outside for us."

That startled me. "Oh you were pretty confident in me coming along, weren't you?"

He shrugged. "I knew you were going to come with us anyway, Mr. Hale." he said before standing up. He paid the bill and walked outside with me walking behind him.

Outside, there was a grey car waiting for us. It had black-tinted windows which prevented me from looking inside. Clyde opened the door for me and I got in, while he sat down beside me.

"Now if you don't mind," Clyde said with that smirk on his face again "I'm going to have to ask you to sleep."

"Wait wha-" I managed to say before Clyde pulled out a white cloth and pressing it under my nose. I suddenly felt very tired and I was starting to black out. "Aw shit… Chloroform." I thought to myself before falling asleep.

Everything was dark around me, though I could still see my own body parts clearly. I could even walk around a bit, but it didn't feel like I was moving at all. "Is this a dream?"

No.

"I thought not. If it was, I'd be sitting on a beach surrounded by beautiful naked women. Where am I then?"

You're in your own subconsciousness.

"Eh?" I couldn't hear where that voice had come from, as it wasn't really a voice but more like a thought. "Who are you anyways?"

It's me.

"What? Who are you?"

It is I.

"You already said that, but who are you?"

You are Nicholas Hale.

"Yes that's correct, but that doesn't answer question. Now tell me who the heck you are and what you're doing in my subconsciousness."

I was getting annoyed.

Just doing what I do, Hale.

"Doing what you do? Inside my head? What the heck is that supposed to mean?" I practically shouted "And tell me your name, dammit!"

Very annoyed.

There is no need to become angry with me, Hale. I'm just doing my job and you should be thankful for that. Now if you'll excuse me, it seems like you are waking up again.

"Fuck you." I spouted.

I was waking back up indeed as I started to hear some faint voices. I also noticed that I was sitting in a comfortable chair of some sorts.

"Seems like he's finally waking up." one voice said.

"Good! I was really starting to get bored of waiting." another said, this one sounding more feminine.

The complete blackness had disappeared and I was regaining my sight, though it was very blurry.

"Where in the name of Arceus am I?" I managed to mutter out.

"Where I told you I would take you, Mr. Hale. One of our research facilities." One of the voices said that I now knew belonged to Clyde.

"Or more accurately, in my office." The feminine voice said.

"So, why the fuck did I get sedated again?" I asked. My vision was starting to return and I could start to make out several objects that showed that I was indeed sitting in some sort of office.

"I'm sorry Mr. Hale, it was a necessary precaution. This facility is one of the secret kind, you see." I heard Clyde say.

"Are you serious? A secret facility?"

"Of course he's serious Hale. Which should be quite obvious seeing as Clyde has yet to discover the term 'humour'." The woman said.

I could actually see more clearly now as I saw Clyde glare at the woman. She was sitting at a desk and had long brown hair and a tanned skin. I wondered who she was.

"So, do you mind giving me some clear answers?" I asked the two.

"Nope," the woman said "allow me to introduce myself first. The name is Rachel; I'm the head-scientist and executive of this facility."

"Beauty." I said, sarcasm dripping from the words.

"Oh my, I believe someone is a bit cranky today." Rachel said.

"I'd like to see what you'd do in my situation." I retorted, still angered by the events that had occurred the last few hours.

"Enough of this." Clyde said before she could answer back. "Rachel, tell Mr. Hale about our offer."

"Oh goody, yes. You see Hale, we are in need of some new blood in this facility. I've read your report while you were knocked out and I was impressed by the amount of information you managed to gather in such short amount of time." She said.

"You see Mr. Hale, we need someone who has a fair deal of knowledge about Pokémon evolution and its after-effects. Everything in your report is information we already have, but it seems that if we were to give you access to better equipment you'd be able to be a valuable asset to our team." Clyde continued

"Let me get this clear; You let me work on a report for about a month straight, then sedate and kidnap me when I turn it in on time, you then bring me to your secret facility, tell me all my work was for nothing and then expect me to work for you again?" I practically yelled out, my temper flaring up once again.

"Well, that's one way to put it." Rachel said with a semi-amused look.

"Mr. Hale, we're going to ask you nicely this first time and I would advice you accept it. Our organization doesn't like 'no' for an answer, you see." Clyde said with a deadpan look

I looked at the both of them. "Are they threatening me now? These people clearly are out of their Arceusdamn minds." I thought, before turning my attention to Clyde "I don't like to be threatened and I don't care about, whatever your little organization's name is, little no no's policy!"

I could see a glint of anger in Clyde's eyes before he spoke up with that emotionless voice again. "Our 'little' organization is called Team Rocket, and I suggest you show some respect."

Rachel sighed "Hale, you're not making this easy. Just accept our offer, you won't regret it."

"What happened to the 'have a little talk first and decide later' attitude then?" I asked still very annoyed.

"As we said before, I suggest you accept right now while were still asking you the friendly way." Clyde said.

"I'm not about to agree to do something while under pressure, thank you very much." I replied with a smirk.

"Very well then," Clyde said while walking towards the door and opening it. "please escort Mr. Hale over to his quarters so he can think about our offer." he told 2 men who were standing outside and were seemingly guarding the door.

Moments later, I found myself being 'escorted' (more like dragged) from the office to my room. The two men pushed me inside and locked the door behind me, making me unable to leave. I wanted to go over and start slamming and yelling at the door but realized there was not point in that anyways. Instead, I wanted to take Strela's Pokéball and let her out so she could blast the door open. Unfortunately, both my Pokéballs were missing. "Crap, they must have taken them away while I was sleeping." I thought while letting out some more curses.

I looked around in the room I was in. It was quite small and it didn't have any windows, only some drawers, a desk and a bed. I went over to the bed and sat on it, thinking about the mess I was in. "So Clyde works for this Team Rocket. That name somehow sounds familiar…" I thought while trying to remember where I had heard that name before. "Team Rocket…where do I know that name from, dammit." I pondered until I suddenly remembered again. "Team Rocket! Of course! I read an article about them in the newspaper a few weeks ago! Oh man, this is really really really bad." I thought while thinking back about that article. It had said how Team Rocket had been stealing Pokémon and valuable items to sell on the black market or to use for their own profits. They worked mostly underground and bribed their way around the law. A bunch of no-good thugs basically.

I laid down on the bed trying to figure out what my next move would be when I suddenly noticed there was an air vent in the wall next to the bed. I stood up on top of my bed and managed to get rid of the railing after I fiddled with it. I hauled myself up and into the vent and started crawling through it. It was quite narrow and hard to make good progress but I kept crawling on.

"At least the shaft is strong enough to carry my weight." I thought to myself "I have to get my Pokéballs back and find a way to get the hell out of this place."

I had been moving for about 10 minutes when I suddenly noticed another vent, but this one was on the bottom. I looked through the railing and saw a room filled with cages, all of which contained Pokémon. "Mother of Arceus." I muttered out. There were at least 30 of them, they were quite small and I could make out some larger Pokémon in some of them that could barely move as they lacked the space to do so. "A bit like how I feel in this shaft then," I thought before spotting a man and a woman sitting at a table near the entrance of the room, they were both dressed in black and had a large crimson 'R' on their chests.

"Ack, shit. Of course the place is guarded by those thugs.".

I pondered about what I should do next when I spotted my coat and trilby laying on top of another table, close to the air vent. Better yet, I also spotted 2 Pokéballs on it. My 2 Pokéballs.

"Well, well, well." I thought with a grin on my face "How nice of them to put my Pokémon in such close reach."

I glanced over at the two Rockets and saw how they were busy talking and laughing. "Guess I'll just have bust out of this shaft, make a run for my Pokéballs and take those two out. That should work."

I silently removed the railings from the vent and dropped down on the ground, behind a cage. The Pokémon inside, a Marowak, was startled by my sudden appearance but didn't make any noise. The two Rockets hadn't noticed nor heard me as they continued their conversation.

I quietly made my way over to the table with my stuff on it, grabbed Strela's Pokéball and sent her out. She looked around the room to familiarize herself, then glanced over at me and shook her head.

"What did you get yourself into this time, boss?" She asked, using her telepathy.

The Rockets, having heard the commotion, came over and gawped at the sight of the two of us standing next to the cages.

"A whole lot of Miltank dung." I said to Strela, before turning to the two Rockets. "Hello there!"

"What are you doing here intruder? Explain yourself before I beat the living crap out of you!" The man threatened with a glare.

Strela turned to them and used telepathy again "Greetings. The name is Strela. And I've been sent here to fuck some shit up." After which she just smirked.

Both Rocket's winced at the telepathic threat and reached for their Pokéballs. Three of them were sent out in total; Two Ratatta came out of the two Pokéballs the man had thrown, and a bat like Pokémon with a huge mouth and four pointy teeth from the woman's ball.

"Golbat, use Poison Sting!" the woman shouted.

The Golbat obeyed her master's order and shot series of purple needles from its mouth, right at Strela.

"Ha, I'll send those right back!" Strela told me using her telepathy once more before her eyes lit up in a blue glow. The needles were put to a halt as they lit up in the same blue glow, before being sent back to its source. The bat Pokémon tried to dodge but couldn't get away in time and was hit pretty badly.

Meanwhile, while Strela was distracted, the two Ratatta came into play as well as they both charged in for a double tackle which, thanks to a warning I shouted out, she managed to block just in time by using Protect. It seemed like the two rats had hurt themselves badly by slamming into the barrier and things were not getting any better for them as Strela used Psychic to slam the both of them into one of the cages, knocking them unconscious.

The Golbat was still completely conscious however as his wings started glowing all of the sudden, before light blue 'S' shaped energy disks were released from them and which were heading for Strela.

She dodged them easily by jumping up in the air, where she put her hands closely together and started forming a silver ball of energy.

"Eat this!" She shouted before the ball reached it's maximum size. "Flash canon!" The bat's eyes widened as a massive silver coloured beam was fired at it, which hit it straight on. knocking it back and smashing him into the wall behind it.

"That takes care of that." I said with a smirk on my face.

The Rocket's looked scared now and quickly returned their Pokémon, before running off, presumably trying to get to the alarm button. Strela didn't like the idea of that however, as she used Psychic once more to stop them dead in their tracks, before heading over to them and hitting them on the back of their heads, knocking the both of them out cold.

"Gotta love Dizzy punch." She said with a triumphant smile.

"Impressive, they couldn't get a single hit down." I complimented her.

"Well, they were obviously not trained or raised well." She replied back.

"Contrary to your vast amount of battle experience from sitting at home all day every day." I teased her.

"Ha ha. Aren't you the comedian." She said whilst rolling her eyes.

"I have my moments." I replied with a grin. "Now, let's get moving. These cages won't open up themselves."

We both started searching for a way to open up the cages so we could let those poor Pokémon out of the cramped spaces.

"There must be a switch around here somewhere that will open those cages up, so keep your eyes open."

Soon after, a beep sounded and the cages opened up automatically. "Found it!" I heard Strela yell over with a cheer as the Pokémon started jumping out of the cages, glad that they were finally free.

"I can't believe the Rockets still haven't noticed my absence and escape." I said with a smirk as I returned back to Strela.

"The Rocke-? " Strela tried to ask before being cut off by a loud alarm that started going off and a voice speaking through some speakers on one of the walls.

"Warning! Security breach detected! This is not a drill!" The voice exclaimed.

"Good job at jinxing us, boss." Strela said with a frown on her muzzle.

"Arceusdammit. Nothing is ever simple, is it?" I said with a weary sigh.

The Pokémon, enjoying their newly found freedom, were already running out of the room trying to get out of the facility. I went over to the table and picked up my stuff, before leaving the room and locking the door behind me so those two Rockets couldn't escape.

"We need to find the exit, quickly." I said whilst looking down at the corridor we were in.

"Let's get moving then." Strela chimed in.

We made our way through the facility and saw how many of the newly freed Pokémon were attacking all Rockets in sight. Several small fires had started growing because of all the fighting while the alarm was still beeping loudly. It was complete and utter chaos.

"Keep moving, boss." Strela pressed.

"Right! that way!" I yelled while pointing at one of the doors that looked like it'd lead us to somewhere important. "The exit, hopefully." I thought while legging it.

We were running through yet another corridor as all of the sudden a door from the left side, just a few meters in front of us, opened up and Clyde stepped out of it.

"Mr. Hale, how annoying." He said, again without any trace of emotion.

"Uh-oh, here comes trouble."

And trouble came indeed as Clyde reached for his two Pokéballs and sent out the Pokémon inside them. A Nidorana and Nidorino materialized in front of us, both taking on intimidating battle positions.

"Surrender and perhaps you shall be spared." Clyde said while giving an evil glare.

"I can take them boss, this wont be problem." Strela said while glancing over at me.

"Yeah, I'm more of the 'kick-your-ass-and-get-away-with-it' kinda guy anyway." I said with a chuckle.

"Very well Mr. Hale, You leave me no choice. Rhino, Rhina, take care of this nitwit."

Both Pokémon complied and charged in using a double Take down, which Strela tried to dodge in the same way she dodged the Golbat's attack earlier on. This time however, the two rabbit like Pokémon were faster then she was and managed to hit her, sending her flying back, skidding over the floor.

"Oh, it's on now." Strela said with some anger in her telepathic voice.

"Looks like you could use a hand though." I said while reaching for Skunker's Pokéball. "Skunker, stand-by for battle!" I yelled out while throwing the Pokéball. Skunker came out and looked around him trying to figure out where the heck he was. I then saw the two Nido's charging in again, both heading towards Skunker.

"Oh no you don't!" Strela said as her eyes lit up blue again, tilting the two unfortunate Pokémon into the air and smashing them into the wall.

"How do you like them apples?" she said with a smirk on her muzzle.

Then, all of the sudden it happened. Strela was hit hard by a Dark pulse which came from behind her. She screamed out in pain as she turned around to see Skunker standing behind her, with a grin on his muzzle.

"What. The. Heck?" She yelled out. "You get shits and giggles from attacking your own friends or something?"

"Skunker! Watch it dammit!" I exclaimed, wondering if it had been intentional or not.

I got my answer fairly quickly as he suddenly shot out and jabbed Strela using a shadow claw, causing her to yell out in pain once again.

Skunker started walking towards Clyde now, who had a wide grin on his mouth. "You see, Mr. Hale, Rocket Pokémon will never turn against their true master."

I muttered some curses while making my way over to Strela, who didn't seem to be in a good shape, but halted as I suddenly heard a gunshot go off. I turned to face Clyde once more and noticed he had the pistol aimed at me. I ran my hand across my torso and felt a small hole over where my stomach should be. I heard a telepathic yell from Strela calling out my name. Suddenly, my legs felt weak, and I fell to my knees. I started to cough up blood onto my hand as I covered my mouth and fell down all the way onto the ground, lying in a pool of my own blood. I saw how Strela carefully approached me as she was stunned upon seeing the blood I had lost.

"Strela…" I said weakly whilst trying to look over at her. Her eyes were watery. She had used recover to gain back some of her health and heal some of her wounds. "I wish I knew how to use recover." I thought sullen with a sullen face. Strela let out some sobs as she glanced over at my injury.

"I'm sorry but I don't think I'll-" I started. She completely lost it upon hearing these words and fell onto my chest crying loudly. I felt how I started tearing up as well, but fought the urge to cry.

"Don't say that Nick! Just hang in there, please!" She exclaimed trying to fight back more tears.

She actually used my first name that time, something which had never happened before as she always called me Boss, to mock me. Before I could say anything back, I coughed up blood once again, covering her slightly in it. The warm liquid made her flinch as she sat back up quickly and looked at what was covering her.

I could hear Clyde cackling at this "You should've gone for option one, Hale. Doesn't matter anymore now that your bleeding to death though." He said.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" Strela said while shaking her head still in complete disbelief.

I tried to calm her down, but didn't have to strength to even try and comfort her. "Farewell, Strela…" I said as my vision started to fade away completely now.

I still remember Strela sobbing loudly before everything went dark around me.

I don't know how much time passed, or if time had just stopped, but I suddenly found myself to be awake once more, in the same dark unknown space as I had found myself before in when I was sedated.

I checked my body and winced as I saw that I was still covered in blood and that a small pool of blood was forming bellow me, onto the black floor.

Try not to slip on your own blood, you already got yourself injured enough for today.

The voice was back too, great. "I know I'm going to regret asking you this, but what's going on?"

You got yourself killed, that's what's going on Hale.

"Yeah, I noticed. So is this the underworld or something?"

I could hear the voice let out a chuckle at me asking that.

If this were the underworld then you wouldn't be blessed with my awesome presence.

I rolled my eyes at that. "Being locked up with you in a vast world of darkness for eternity kind of does sound like the underworld to me."

And yet it isn't.

"Alright, so what am I doing here then? The fact that I'm bleeding out and not feeling anything is making me feel uncomfortable."

Don't worry Hale, this'll all be over soon. I'm going to help you.

"Help me? How?"

Just you wait, you'll see.

And with that, I felt that I was going unconscious again.

I felt like I was laying in fetal position somewhere on the ground. My head really hurt badly and felt sore. I opened my eyes and gasped. I was in the middle of a forest, only this forest had huge trees and… well, huge everything! I lifted my head up and winced when I felt something stinging in my back. I turned my head to look what had stung me and gasped once again as I saw that my arms were covered in light-yellow fur.

"Wha… what in the…" I thought to myself when I spotted a tail coming out from my bottom. I used my paws to reach for my head and felt two large and pointy ears sticking out. My arms were really short, and so were my legs. I tried standing up but I just couldn't do it as I instantly fell down due to the small size of my legs.

"Wait a minute…" I thought once again "I… I shrunk? The trees are normal but I'm just a lot smaller?"

I sighed. I had shrunk a lot, had paws, light-yellow fur, big pointy ears and a tail. Which could've only meant one thing.

"I'm… I'm a Pokémon?" I muttered out, not even realizing I was actually using Pokéspeak instead of the regular human language.

Trying not to panic at the absurd situation I found myself in, I looked around and it seemed like I was in the middle of nowhere, deep in this forest.

"Well, fuck."

That's the end of that. You guys haven't given me any reviews though, which makes me a sad panda. So please, for the sake of my writing skills, go ahead and review.

Cheers
