Second chapter of Shark of the Land. I know this story was just released, but I, like my other stories, wanted to get this written.
Review time!
Serenity In Virginia: And work fast I do. I'm not hating Illusions of a Fox for being successful, it just feels like it's the attention hog of my hard-worked stories. Mainly due to the character being a well known and popular pokemon...
Cyberfire22: IKR? And I don't exactly have stress to worry about(sorta), I've been itching to start writing ever since middle school.
Right, off we go then.
"Hello" means speech.
'Hello' means thoughts.
"Hello" means radio transmissions/TV.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any major company brands. I only own my story and my OC's.

Shark of the Land
Chapter 1: New Body
Third Person POV:
The crew on the Coast Guard vessel were shocked. Not only was there a shark sighting, but a civilian they were about to bring out of the water was just pulled underwater by the same shark that was spotted. His surfboard stayed on the surface due to the cord on it being cut. One of the crew was radioing for back-up, not giving up on the surfer. Another was getting in diving gear, scuba tank on his back with the mask on his face, along with a nine-inch long knife for defense against the shark.

Underwater, a shark was holding a late-teen surfer by the thigh, who was squirming and punching with all his might despite the limited air. Blood was seeping out of the teens thigh, where the shark was holding onto. The shark just shrugged the blows off like they were just an irritant, even when the blows came slower and longer in between until the blows stopped completely. Upon noticing this, the shark gave a small jolt to its jaw, injecting something that will change the teens life forever.
Still holding on to the teens thigh, the shark swam towards the surface. It does not intend on getting captured, but letting the teen live was needed. It continued on until it heard the sound of boat engines in the water. The shark released the teens thigh, then swam underneath it and gave him a nudge upwards. The unconscious teen surfaced face up and, thankfully, was still floating. This caught the attention of the CG vessels quickly, for one of them turned to where the teen surfaced.
After it helped the teen, the shark turned around and started to swim out towards the ocean, never to return to this place again.

"This is CG patrol vessel Jackson, has anyone seen either the shark or the teen that Bravo lost? Over." one of the CG vessels broadcasts on the channels.
"Negative, negative, all vessels are combing the area for either one of them. Over." another responded.
"Remember, command wants us to either capture or kill that shark before it gets anyone else. Over."
"Roger. Just pray that we-"
"This is vessel Gamma reporting, we found the teen. We just hauled him out of the water and medical crew are performing medical treatment. He has a severe bite wound on his right leg and we are treating it to the best of our abilities. He is also still breathing, but we can't exactly risk CPR due to the risk of severe blood loss. Over"
"Copy that, head to the pier and get the victim to the emergency team waiting there double time."
"Got it. Over and out."

Seven minutes after a CG vessel found the teen, they rushed to the pier to deliver him to emergency medical crews awaiting there. The vessels medical crew was able to treat the wounds to the best of their abilities, but they had to leave the rest to the experts. Carefully lifting the teen off the boat, medical teams placed the teen on a stretcher and were were frantically trying to clean the wound on his leg. However, something happened as they were trying to get some bandages. As they were working on the leg wound, it was somehow healing by itself, the flesh fusing back into place, leaving nothing, not even a scar. Everyone in the group was baffled by this, stopping their work entirely.
However, the teens eyes snapped open, then his mouth opened to try and form a scream, but nothing came out. The medics were caught off guard by this action, for they jumped at this. But what really scared them is that where the shark bite was, it was turning a dark navy-blue. All of them thought it was infected before sealing up, but the coloring did not stop there. It was spreading like wildfire all over the teens body, becoming yellow on the front-lower torso and red on the rest of it, the throat area and the lower jaw. A yellow star then formed on his forehead, along with all of his hair falling out all around his head.
The suffering teen then flopped off the stretcher he was on, landing face-first on the wooden pier. He than started to arc his body from the pain he was going through. His mouth was still open, but nothing came out. The medics were now shaking in fear for whats happening to him. His legs were contracting on the shins, enough to where they were as thin as his wrists. The pinky-and-ring toes along with the middle-and-index toes were fusing together until there were only three per foot. They then started to take on the appearance of sharpened claws, thinning at the front. The thighs started to thicken until they were nearly double their size, giving the impression of incredible leg strength. Four spikes, two per leg, grew out of the front parts of the thighs, giving an intimidating look.
A bulge started to press out from the bottom of his spine, and continued until a tail grew out. The extra limb continued to grow until it was around three feet in length. Close to the tip of it, two fins, one on the top and one on the bottom, grew out of it until they were less than half a foot each. All this pain the teen was going through, yet there was nothing the medics could do but watch. Some that weren't frozen from fright called for more personnel, along with the police.
His arms started to thin until they were as thin as their bones. The skin before his hands started to stretch downwards, forming another pair of fins, one per arm, around two feet in length. The fingers were all fusing together until there was only one per 'hand'. They then started to take on the same look as the toes, although hooked and slightly longer. Two spikes per arm were forming on the forearms, much like the thighs. Another bulge, but thin, appeared on the center of the spine. It stretched out, curving slightly, until it was more than two feet out. A small part of it looked like it was cut out close to the top of it.
The head was last to change as the neck lengthened. The teen was gritting his teeth from this, but his teeth were changing as well. Instead the regular sets of teeth humans have, they were becoming triangular and sharpened. The forehead then started to pull out, starting at the center of the star. It continued until it was a few inches further out than what it was. Two more bulges started to form at the upper-sides of the head, pushing out until they grew to their desired length. The ends then started to swell, taking on the shape of a hammerhead sharks head.
The changes were complete, and the teen was able to find his voice. But instead of an agonized human scream, it was more like a vicious roar that would have anyone run for the hills. He finally collapsed, blacked out from the pain he just went through.

Right, second chapter done. This one took a while to write, mainly due to me having to look at Garchomps Bulbipedia photo all the time to get the details right.
