Chapter 2 – Fainted Then Awakened
As soon as Katie finished battling a couple Glooms and a few Volbeets and Illumises, Katie's Starlet had gone up a level to level 56 but her health was in the red area, with Helen (The Gabite) at level 53. Katie saved and switched off her DS and decided to check her emails. Opening up her laptop, she clicked on MSN Hotmail tab and checked her inbox,
'Strange' Thought Katie as she moved the mouse pointer onto one of her unopened E-Mail messages which read:
Katie, it is time.
Shaking, Katie deleted the email before closing her laptop and checking her phone.
Scanning the inbox, she was shocked to find the same message on her mobile phone screen:
Katie, it is time.
Shaking, Katie switched off her phone and slammed it into her bedside drawer. Then she decided to have a nap to recover form the shock of the strange messages. Tucking herself into her bed covers, Katie closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Suddenly she heard voices, familiar voices,
"Starlet? Wake up!" A familiar female voice called out. Katie slowly opened her eyes, only to be shocked by a female human standing right beside her.
'Am I dreaming this?' Thought Katie. She stood up and realised something was not right…
"Are you okay Starlet? You look a little dizzy" The female human said. Katie stood on her four paws and realised that she ended up in the body of her Umbreon, Starlet. AND they were in the ribbon syndicate! Katie tried to speak but all that came out was Umbreon cries,
"Umbre, Umbreon!" Katie screamed. The female trainer couldn't help but laugh,
"You don't look like yourself today!" The trainer giggled. Katie sighed and decided to check out her 'Umbreon' body in the mirror. She was jet black except for the yellow rings and bands that decorated her body. She had long, hare like ears and shimmering red eyes and a long pointed tail.
'Better get used to this' Thought Katie as she admired her body, despite screaming before. Suddenly a Gabite ran towards her, its yellow eyes ablaze and its fin like arms shaking in rage.
"Uhhhh, Please don't eat me! I'm nothing but skin and bones!" Katie protested. The Gabite did nothing but laugh,
"It's okay little one! No need to be afraid of me. You do know me do you. You had quite a fall back there on route 219 with all those Glooms and other pokemon attacking you" The Gabite said proudly. Katie sighed again. The Gabite noticed this,
"You have been sighing an awful lot these days. By the way, my name is Helen. I got caught in wayward cave when I was a little Gible. This trainer decided to train me up after she defeated the Elite Four. Safe to say it, But I heard from a bird that she owned that you were 'received' from a woman called Bel, Am I correct?" Katie remembered that she did get received from a woman called Bel.
"Yes, YES I remember now! Oh sorry, I'm Katie but this trainer calls me Starlet. No reason though!" Katie said whilst jumping up and down, and failing to see her trainer looking at the mantle piece where the merchandise was. Helen giggled under her breath.
"Can't the trainer hear us from here?" Katie raised a good point and twitched her ears.
"Of course not, little one! The trainer cannot understand us! She doesn't even know what we are thinking or saying!" Helen replied. Katie cocked her head to the side,
"One thing! How come you're not a Garchomp?" She said. Helen's expression drooped,
"Little one, I did not want to become a scary beastly Garchomp! So my trainer kept me like this!" Helen said.
"I can't remember who this trainer is!" Katie said. Gabite snickered, her face going from sadness to pure laughter,
"Seriously! You can't remember who your trainer is? Lemme tell you something. Her name is Katey and she grew up in Twinleaf Town. Her starter is in day-care, A Torterra I think? Yep it's a Torterra!" Helen giggled. Suddenly 'Katey' called to her pokemon, holding out two poke balls,
"Return you two!" She called out. In a flash Katie and Helen was inside a poke ball.
