Ask the Characters

Chapter 8: What pokemon are you?

Yin Sword, along with the rest of the group, proceeded down the hall towards the studio stage for the show. There was a bit of chatter as Iso was introducing herself to the rest of the crew. The reactions were as follow:

Aleron- "You look like some kind of robotic bug monster thing." Iso stated, unaware of the consequences. A vein pops on Alerons head upon him being called a monster.

"Really? That I do." he asked a little ticked. Iso sweat-drops and starts backing away.

Marcus- "Are you really as strong as Superman?" Iso asked happily.

"Not really, though I can punch a hole straight through a concrete wall with my gauntlets on."

Teresa- "So you can change into what ever animal you want?" Iso asked. "That's so cool!"

"Yeah, but when I turn into human, this tail would be showing," she points to her tail "and if anyone were to grab it, it would turn me back into a Zorua."

Lucas- "Soooo…" Iso started, trying to think of what to ask.

"Ummm…" Lucas nervously said.

Natasha- "Are you in the army?" Iso asked.

"Go away pest, you're annoying me." Natasha said, a little annoyed.

Yang- Yang used Death Glare.

Iso is too scared to talk.

So, yeah, able to get along with a few of the members.

After a minute of walking, the group was able to arrive at the doors to the stage. Before Yin could open it though, he cleared his throat.

"Okay, everyone that's a pokemon, stand at one side. Those that aren't stand on the other. Yang, come over here."

All but Natasha and Marcus moved to one side of the hall, Iso turning into her Glaceon form along the way. Yang separated from the group and walked to Yin's side. Natasha had an agitated look on her face, knowing what was going to happen.

"Sword, I know what you're thinking and if you do it, I'll rip your heart out." she threatened.

"Shut it, or I'll turn you into a Magikarp." Yang threatened in return.

Marcus figured out what she meant, but didn't complain as much.

"Yeah, seeing on how we're going to be transformed, mind telling us on what we'll become?" he asked.

"Well, you should know the answer to yours, Marcus. Natasha's…well, let us see, shall we?" Yin said, looking over to Yang. They both locked eye contact, then both nodded.

They both drew their swords, surprising everyone. Instead of rushing forward, they pointed their blades at Marcus and Natasha. A beam of light shot out of both swords each, striking and vanishing harmlessly into both humans chests.

"Now, what you transform into depends on your favorite pokemon." Yin explained, sheathing his sword.

"If you don't have one…well…cross your fingers and hope for the best." Yang said with a grin.

Natasha was giving a death glare to both of them, but stopped when she felt something tugging at her hands. She looked and seen that her fingers minus the thumbs were fusing together, forming a metallic glove of sorts. The end of them formed a flat spike jutting out a few inches. The thumbs flattened and turned into spikes as well. A third set of blades came out of the sides opposite the thumbs.

While this was happening, her thighs doubled in thickness, turning red as well. Her shins though thinned to nearly half the thickness of her bones. They did, however, turn into the same metal as her claws, including her feet. The upper half of her legs turned red and doubled in thickness, afterward gained a metallic shine to it.

Yin caught onto what she was turning into and glanced over to Yang.

"Psst, hey. Keep your sword ready, she might lunge at us once she finds out what she's becoming." Yin warned.

"Tch, no need to tell me."

They both continued to watch Natasha change. She winced as a pair of steel rib-like plates pushed out of her torso, the edges intimidated most of the group. Her hair hardened as well and started to form a helmet around her head, with a strip of yellow along the center. The strip pulled up at the ends, forming a yellow double-edged ax-head piece, silver at the edges.

Natasha finally caught onto what she was turning into and let an evil grin show on her face. Despite the changes, she lunged forth, intent on killing the duo before her. Both Yin and Yang drew their swords and were able to defend themselves from the initial strike.

Everyone who was watching the fight backed away, lest they unintentionally get involved. While the fight was going on, Marcus started undergoing his transformation.

His hair started turning tan and lengthening, taking a downwards V shape. It grew to cover his shoulders and upper chest area, as well as under his arms before turning into feathers of sort. His index-and-middle fingers, along with the ring-and-pinky fingers started to fuse until there were only three per hand. The skin started to turn a gray color with the fingernails turning into talons. The hardened skin continued until just below the elbows.

His shirt started to melt into his skin as red feathers started to grow along the rest of his arms. It didn't hurt him, but the feeling overall was very unpleasant. The feathers laid flat against his skin, blending seamlessly when more grew in. It continued past his shoulders, spreading up to around his neck and further down his torso.

As these changes were taking place, Lucas was shifting a little in Teresa's arms, having her gaze down to look at him.

"Lucas? Something wrong?" she asked.

Lucas looked up at her, eyes full of worry. "Well…I'm scared…"

"Huh? Scared of what?"

"I'm scared of that blade lady who's fighting Sword now," he said, pointing to the trio fighting "and also of what Marcus is becoming." pointing at said person.

Teresa was saddened on how Lucas felt, but continued to watch Marcus change.

Marcus' face started to be covered a bit by the feathers, but that wasn't the only change. He felt his nose pull out and down a bit, as well as his upper lip taking a hooked beak look. It continued until the 'beak' was formed and covered in feathers. A pair of them grew out further from the top of his eyebrows, forming another, though smaller, V shape pointing up.

Marcus looked over his body during the changes, flexing his talons for hands. He figured out what he was turning into, and didn't exactly complain.

'Huh, guess that they were right.' he thought. 'I'm turning into a Blaziken.'

His torso didn't change much aside from the red feathers, but his legs changed a bit. His pants melted as the feathers took their place, but turned yellow around halfway down his shins. Taking his shoes off, Marcus was able to see his pinky-ring-and-middle toes, along with the index-and-big toes fusing together, leaving only two per foot. The same type of skin on his hands formed on his feet as well, with the ends of the toes forming claws. The toes seem to lengthen as the feet split down the middle.

He yelped when he suddenly lost balance and fell face first on the floor. Almost immediately everyone except Yin, Yang and Natasha burst out laughing.

"Yeah, real funny guys." Marcus scowled, picking himself up.

When he picked himself up completely, he noticed that he was standing regularly. Lifting one of his now changed feet, he seen that they were talons as well, with a third behind where his heel was. Looking over his body, he figured the changes were done. He looked behind him and saw that he had a tail of sorts, made out of red feathers as well.

The sound of metal colliding stopped shortly after, making everyone look in the direction of the fight. Said fight was over, with Natasha on the ground, arms pinned to her back, struggling to break free of the grip Yang had on her. His left foot was on her lower legs, keeping them pinned as well. Despite this, he was struggling to keep a solid grip as is.

"Geez Yin, how the hell was I supposed to know she was that good?" Yang questioned, breathing hard from exhaustion.

"Don't ask me, right now we have to put restraints on her before she breaks free."

"You don't have to tell me twice about that."

Yin reached up and a small portal appeared. He put his hand through and rummaged around a bit. A few seconds later, he pulled it out, holding a couple of rings. He pulled on the rings, making them enlarge a bit. He slipped one past Natasha's head, pulling it down to around her stomach area. He let go and the ring shrunk to a tight fit, catching her arms as well. Yang let go of her arms and picked her up, arms wrapped around her.

This turned out to be a bad move, for Natasha started kicking her bladed legs around, trying to break free. She was yelling all kinds of profanities and curses in her Russian tongue, which fortunately no one understood. Yin readied the second ring and tried to hook it onto one of her flailing legs. He was able to, but nearly had the ring yanked from his grip. Tightening his grip, he pulled the ring a bit more, widening it again.

There was a loud 'chink' and Yang's eyes widened drastically. Yin looked for Natasha's other leg and noticed that it was stopped.

"Yin…" Yang barely called out.

"Hmm?"

"Put. The ring. On. Her legs. Now." Yang ordered, his voice a bit shaky, along with a tear forming in his eye.

"Alright…" Yin was able to grab a hold of Natasha's other leg, but found it to be stuck for some reason. He followed the leg to find out why it was stuck and…

"Ooo, that…has got to hurt." Yin winced.

Natasha had been able to get the back of her left foot to pierce Yang's skin in the privates. Yin readied the ring as he grabbed a hold of the leg, ready to yank it out.

"Okay, I think this will sting…a lot…when I pull her leg free." Yin warned.

"Just. Get. It. Out." Yang pleaded, his arms starting to shake.

Yin mentally counted to three, before yanking the foot loose and slipping it past the ring, trapping both legs. He did it so quickly that it took a second for Yang to register the pain. When he did, he dropped Natasha before dropping to his knees, whimpering, holding the stricken spot in pain.

Back with the main group, Marcus and everyone else was watching the scene, up to where Yang crumpled to the floor. They all wondered as for why someone like him was now curled up on the floor, twitching.

Yin noticed the stares he was getting and walked over to them.

"Yeah…if you're wondering, Natasha was able to do a kick strong enough to pierce his skin." he explained.

Marcus arced an eyebrow at this. "Mind telling us what spot she ended up hitting?" he asked.

Yin only leaned close and whispered at where Marcus' ears would be. After a few seconds, his eyes widened, now understanding the situation.

"Yeah, that had to hurt." Marcus whispered back.

Yin separated from Marcus and looked over the group.

"Alright then, let's get going. Show's gonna start in a few minutes." he announced, turning to Marcus again. "Mind carrying Natasha while I tend to Yang?"

Marcus just shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah, I'll do it. Besides, one swift punch from me and she's out cold."

Marcus walked over to Natasha, who was struggling, though not as violently due to exhaustion, against the restraints. He picked her up in an awkward bridal style mainly due to not wanting to be sliced by the numerous blades. Teresa came over to open the doors to the studio and let everyone else in.

Yin walked back over to Yang, who was slowly picking himself up off the floor.

"Yin…" he started "…I think I'm gonna need some ice to numb the pain for the show." He slammed his right fist into the ground. "After that, a doctor."

"Noted…" Yin said simply, helping his counterpart up. He slung Yang's right arm over his shoulder and helped him walk to backstage.

-10 minutes later-

Everyone was seated(standing in Aleron's case, while Yin and Yang sat in seats without backs to them(Yang now had a bag of ice covering his crotch area, a look of extreme discomfort on his face)) as the camera crew arrived. They adjusted the cameras, readying for the show as the audience seats started to fill up.

"Places everyone, we are live in 5…4…3…2…" a cameraman called out, moving his camera into position.

And there you have Marcus' and Natasha's TF's. Ouch for Yang, who got it where the sun don't shine, especially since his anthro-Zekrom form has natural armor for skin. Natasha has become a Bisharp while Marcus a Blaziken.

Submit those questions and they'll answer them. Please keep the dares to a minimum, if you can.
