Chapter 2
Alternate world
"Ugh…Wow my head is in pain," I said as I slowly started to wake up "what happened…" I looked around at my surroundings and saw nothing but sand and an ocean. "I'm…on a beach?" I said still half asleep "but how? I was just on the soccer field…and then I pressed that button on Zoei's computer…wait a minute where is Zoei! And Terry and Aaron and everyone else!" I sprang to my feet and looked around the beach only I was not as tall as usual. I looked down at my feet and saw black paws instead "what the hell? Ok that's not right…" I looked back when I felt something on my backside and saw a tail with a ring around it. Now I knew something was extremely wrong, no human has a tail "I quickly walked over to the water on all shaky four legs and stared at my reflection. The face in the water was not my own, but a umbreon instead only there was something odd about it, around the eyes were two crescent moon shaped figures that I'm guessing were my glasses suggesting that I have come to the conclusion that I am now a Pokémon. "This is weird… why am I a Pokémon?" I asked myself trying to come up with an answer. "Huh? Who's that in the water?" I asked myself turning to see another Pokémon laying face down in the water.
I walked over to the other being and looked at it to realize it was the water Pokémon buizel, it also had a beaded necklace made of pearls around its floatation collar. "Hey...HEY WAKE UP!" I yelled into his ear, as expected there was no response, I started to believe he was drowning but he is a water type how could he drown? I grabbed the yellow ring around his neck and dragged him out of the water then started to slap his face with my paw to wake him up. "Ugh… hey, HEY! Stop that!" the buizel yelled out "what the heck were you do…oh my god a Pokémon!" the frightened creature started to crawl backwards into a rock. "Hey dude you were face down in the water, I just pulled you out." I said trying to not scare him anymore than he already was. He looked at me a little more calmly "you're not supposed to be real, Pokémon are fake, make believe," he said with a little shakiness in his voice. I looked at him in confusion, he was acting as if he was never a Pokémon…maybe it was one of my friends. "Hey is your name by any chance Aaron?" I asked him, he got a stern look "no the names Jacob, Aaron is one of my other companions" I could not believe what I was hearing, this is actually one of my friends, here, in this world with me but he does not know of his transformation yet. "Hey I'm not the only one who looks like this…go look at yourself in the water," I said a little cautious of how I thought he would react. The pupils in his eyes instantly became the size of a grain of sand as he immediately sprang up and ran for the water.
He became frozen stiff when he saw his reflection in the water and it turned out to be a buizel instead of his human face. "What…the…hell HAPPENED TO ME!" he yelled at me, a sweat drop ran down the side off my face "I-I guess it was the weird quiz we did on Zoei's laptop that did this to us…" I said shocked from the sudden burst of anger. "and your normal necklace has changed to, when I was pulling you out I looked at it, it looks like its made up of red colored pearls now" Jacob lifted his old necklace up to his face with his paw and stared at the new, shiny one. "Well…it's not the old one but it looks cool anyway, sorry for yelling uh…who are you?" he asked. I smiled and laughed, "it's me chance and I'm glad I got to be my favorite Pokémon umbreon haha" Jacob gave a sigh of relief "good I thought you might be terry or Aaron…where are they?" my ears started to drop. "…I don't know where they are but I did saw them get sucked in to the tornado so… maybe there are somewhere in this world " Jacob wasn't pleased with that answer, he started to pace around In a circle and talk to himself. "Hey no need to be freaked out Jacob, we will find them all and being a Pokémon is sort of cool" I said to reassure him. He stopped his pacing and glared at me "cool? This is horrible and we are now animals, and we are lost" he panicked. At this point I was out of options "hey instead of standing around here lets go look for some other Pokémon, maybe we could find a town plus this beach Is very familiar to me maybe I know the area" I suggested. He looked at me one more time "ok…I'm gona trust you on this" he said. I looked around for a path off the beach "look there's a dirt road over there leading up the cliff side and if you look at the top of the cliff there are some tents, and tents mean civilization" I said proud of myself "or dirty, smelly hoboes" Jacob said smirking. I rolled my eyes and started to walk up the path with Jacob right behind me.
When we reached the top of the dirt path, we came to a crossway intersection with two other Pokémon looking at the tall sign. The two creatures looked like the grass Pokémon bulbasaur and the electric Pokémon jolteon "hey maybe those two can help us, they look like friendly folk" Jacob said, "hey can we get some directions to the closest town?" both Pokémon turned to look at us and stared. When I got a good look at their faces I noticed that they were not the same as others in there species, the bulbasaur had three triangles on its forehead, each one smaller than the other, and the jolteon looked as if it had sword blades for ears. "Ya its half way up your back side, of course we don't, that's why we are standing here" the jolteon exclaimed. The small bulbasaur frowned at its companion "hey be nice, maybe these two can help us…wait one darn minute you don't look like a normal umbreon… you have crescent moon shaped rings around your eyes and you, buizel, your necklace looks familiar" the small creature said with suspicion in its voice. "Ya I noticed that a few minutes ago…so?" I said. The bulbasaur came closer to examine us both in full view "… I vaguely remember drawing head shots with these same designs on them…" it said "tell me is your name chance by any chance?" I looked down at the grass Pokémon and wondered how this bulbasaur knew my name "yes my name is chance…and you are?" I asked. The Pokémon smiled at me and ignored my question and said to Jacob "and you are Jacob?" this was the most awkward thing to ever happen, how exactly did this grass type know us? Then it hit me, it must be zoei, that's the only way it could know us "ya im Jacob" he said answering its question " OH THANK YOU GOD!" it yelled in excitement "im so glad you two are here as well" then the Pokémon hugged us both. Jacob and me didn't know what to do except exchange looks "uh ok…who are u exactly?" I asked. The bulbasaur just smiled and said, "it's me zoei and I am happy you two are here, I thought I would be stuck with just Aaron forever" I looked over at Aaron and said "so I guess you and me are from the same evolutionary branch" he scowled at me. "Ya well like I told Zoei awhile ago, id rather be on two legs then four even if I have more balance" Zoei turned to look at Aaron and frowned at his complaining "you need to stop whining about it Aaron, you're a jolteon and always will be, so there is no need to keep complaining about it" she said. "now let's go into town to find something to eat and somewhere to sleep…hey where is Terry and Michael?" me and Jacob looked at each other and sighed "I don't know where they are but where ever they are I'm sure they started together just like all of us did" I said with a little hope. Zoei looked at me as if she had something bad to say "um…that might not be the case, I had to do a little walking around until I found Aaron, well I bumped into him" she said in despair. We all exchanged looks, hoping for the best "well it won't do them any good if we just stay here hungry and tired, come on the towns this way" I said seeing the Pokémon shaped roofs over the trees. We all agreed and headed in the direction of the town.
When we entered the town it was full of different Pokémon and buildings that all looked friendly, "this place looks amazing, it's so beautiful" Zoei said with her eyes enlarged and sparkling. The rest of us had a sweat drop run down the side of our face as we laughed, "Ya I guess so, come on you guys I know a place we can sleep and eat" I said still laughing at Zoei's eyes. Aaron turned to me in confusion "really? How?" "Let's just say that I've been here before in the human world," I said with a grin on my face. I started walking through the town as my friends followed in step close behind, they were taking in the great view of this small town as I was guiding them to sharpedo bluff, and why here you ask? well its because in the game i played on my DS when u beat the game there was a little home inside the cliff where you would live at . When we arrived at the cliff side, I stared over the side to take in the great ocean view and smelling the salt-water breeze. "You brought us to a cliff side? This is where we are sleeping?" Jacob asked, I walked over to the lone bush by a tree and said "no we are sleeping here" then I pushed the bush aside, which revealed a lone hole in the ground. Zoei smiled "so this IS like the game Pokémon mystery dungeon, Jacob, Aaron, chance just did a smart thing by revealing this hole" both of the guys looked very much confused "our new home…is in a hole?" Jacob asked, "What bull crap is that?" "No our new home is in this hole, look there is stairs pointed downward and at the bottom is a large, open room revealing the ocean view from inside… and a basket full of delicious berries" I explained. Berries was the word that got stuck in Aarons mind "I'll go down first to make sure there are no…food thief's " he said as he ran for the hole. When he was right at the top of the dirt stairway he tripped and kept crashing and falling until he hit the bottom with a huge loud thud, which shook the ground a little. The rest of us walked down into the room to find Aaron lying on the ground at the bottom of the stairs "you ok Aaron?" Jacob asked "yup…" Aaron said with a groan "just peachy…" Aaron started crawling along the ground towards a berry basket, which was by a water fountain, not the fountains like at schools but ones you see at a lake. "Someone's a little hungry," Zoei, said giggling. Aaron stood up "In case you haven't noticed I'm always hungry and that's that," he said with his chest out. We all laughed at him and walked over to the beds made of hay and laid down in them, Jacob went right to sleep. "I'm glad none of us have to share a bed" Aaron said finally getting into his bed "well… we might have to when we find Terry and Michael" Zoei said crawling right into the middle of the hay "hey let's not worry about it right now" I said tired from all the confusion of today "lets just go to sleep and rest" every one nodded in approval and went to sleep.
