-Make a wish.-
I kept on looking at all the stars, I remember that night when I bonded with Buizel, just to think of it makes me shiver again, but it's a good shiver. Cain says that he rests in peace in my soul, but I would like to feel that he is around with us instead of feeling so alone in the night, to think that this will last forever…
Cain hugged me tighter and tighter, just like Buizel has done it in the past.
-Kevin, you know, I have always wanted to be near you, just like Buizel has done… I have to admit that it made me jealous to see Buizel happy every day of his life despite everything and…- Cain was saying, I turned around and hugged him tighter a well.
-You just had to come near me when I was human, I would've understood immediately you know? - I said as I hugged him.
There was a big silence there, we just enjoyed that small moment, the sound of the rain made the moment feel warmer.
-Thank you master. - Cain said.
-Cain…-
-Yes?-
…
-Stop calling me master…-
…
-Alright Kevin. - Cain said.
I stopped the hug and then went inside the cave, Cain followed me inside as I grabbed the sleeping sack and placed it firmly on the floor.
-It's getting cold after all Cain, now come in, I don't want you to catch a cold. - I said to him as I entered the sleeping bag trying to zip in the bag but unfortunately my paws wouldn't grab the zipper, ARGH!!!!! Cain came by and got in the bag as well and then he zipped in the bag. When the sleeping bag was closed he hugged me almost immediately and quite firmly.
-I haven't felt this since… since I was with my parents. We always used to sleep together like this, they always kept me warm ever since I was a little Riolu, I just wonder where they are now…-
-They will be fine. - I said as I hugged him the same way as I did with Buizel that cold night.
Cain did the same thing, he embraced me as tight as he could and snuggled against me, bt not as strong as Buizel has in the past.
-Are most Pokémon like this Cain? – I asked him.
-No, but you were lucky enough to find us because we are good Pokémon, Marcus would enjoy a hug like this as well, but would definitely not snuggle… we are all different Kevin.
I began crying, everything reminded me too much to Buizel as well.
-I know you miss Buizel my mas… Kevin… but I can tell he is ok. Just try to be happy, and smile, for Buizel, he wouldn't want you to feel this sad. - Cain said.
-Thanks once again Cain. - I said.
We stood a long time hugged togheter, curled up and I snuggled a lot, but we still couldn't sleep…
-Can't sleep right? - Cain asked.
-Yeah, I was sleeping on your shoulders the whole way here.- I said.
-And I was in a Pokéball for a lot…-
-Yeah… maybe we should talk a bit while we hug, right? – I said to Cain.
-I miss Buizel as well Kevin, he was a really fun pokémon.-
-I just wish he was here…- I said.
Silence drew on again, but Lucario gasped, released me for a moment and then he spoke.
-Wish… That's it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- Cain said aloud as he got up from the sleeping bag and grabbed me. – Hey Kevin, do you know who Jirachi is? – He asked me.
-Sure do, he is a Pokémon that makes wishes come true to anyone once every 1000 years. - Cain.
-Got something wrong Kevin! Jirachi Makes one wish come true every time you want, but only wishes from the bottom of your heart. The thousand year thing is merely a distraction for those stupid hu…- Cain was saying as he looked at me, but I didn't care, many humans where in fact stupid. –Kevin, stand outside in the rain and look at the stars please. - He said as I did.
I stood outside in the rain, and as it fell on me I got another of those flashes…
On top of a giant rock I can see the ocean in full turmoil, rain was very strong and it pushed me backwards a bit. I looked back to see a couple of big shadows that were after me
-Catch him! - One of the shadows said.
I was slipping to the edge of a rock, and then I…jumped to the ocean?!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Aaaaah! – I yelled as I sat on the ground.
-Anything wrong? - Cain asked.
-It's one of those flashes again…- I said.
-Flashes? What did you see? – Cain asked.
-A stormy night, I jumped off a rocky cliff towards the ocean. - I replied as a smile grew on Cain's face.
-My theory is correct, Buizel is trying to communicate with you through his memories! – He said and I was just shocked, that was Buizel's past? – Anyhow, stay there… something amazing will happen. - Cain said as he went inside.
I waited as I was just getting cold thinking about what I heard, if that is Buizel's past that means that he lost his family… oh no… I would've wanted to tell him that I am sorry.
Minutes passed as nothing really happened when suddenly, a small flashing orb came towards me and then from all of the sudden a light flashed from the orb through my sight and left me completely blind.

My body feels tickly again, just like before in the pokéball, does that mean…?

Outside again in the cave when it was raining I felt once again different, but it was a familiar different. I saw my hands, and yes, they were hands… I couldn't believe I was human again, and just a little bit further, was Buizel… there he was again! I couldn't believe it!
I ran towards him and I hugged him. I missed him so much, I actually kissed his forehead. When he opened his eyes he hugged me and he licked me all over my face. I was very happy, now everything is just like it should be.
I just wondered how this happened…
-Cain made a wish, Kevin. – said a voice that reached my mind, it was not a sound, I could tell immediately that it was telepathic communication. – Cain wished for things to return how they are supposed to be for you and Buizel. – As the voice said this I saw from inside the cave that Cain was sleeping inside the sleeping bag as he looked at me with one eye open, and a smile that he couldn't hide, that was his plan... He is really a great friend.
-Buizel! We are back to normal! And we can finally talk! – I said as I waited for his response, I was quite disappointed.
-Bui?!- Buizel replied.
I was, devastated right there than I feel over my knees. I couldn't believe it, I can't talk to Pokémon anymore… Why?! I couldn't help but to cry…
-Someone seems to have a wish deep inside their heart as well. - The voice said, I asked who it was. – I am Jirachi, and I am willing to make that wish of yours come true. - Jirachi said.
I couldn't believe it! My wish was going to come true! It really was!! Finally I can talk to Buizel!
Jirachi appeared, I could see Jirachi clearly now, Jirachi had lots of little notes sticked on to its head, he was a small white and yellow pokémon. I approached him, and made my wish.
-I wish to talk to Buizel! - I said, it would actually seem like I begged for it.
-Unfortunately, that wish is not acceptable…- Jirachi said, I couldn't believe it!!!
-Why not? What is wrong with my wish?! I just want to understand my best friend in the whole wide world! It is something I wish in the bottom of my heart! - I said.
-You lie… that is not what you really wish in the bottom of your heart, your wish was fulfilled a long time ago, since then, you haven't had another real wish… - Jirachi said, and I admit it, it's true, I am really happy, I looked at Buizel and I thought of things. So what if I can't understand him? It doesn't really matter, I will try hard and learn by myself if necessary.
Buizel was standing right there with a smile, then he couldn't avoid to enhance that smile…
-What a wish! I like it. - Jirachi said.
-Huh?-
-Buizel in the other hand, has a really good wish, but he really wants to know if you want this wish to be fulfilled, Kevin. – Jirachi said.
I wondered, why Buizel wanted me to decide if his wish wanted to be fulfilled? That is an obvious yes, he has the right to make his wish without asking me, I don't own him or anything…
-What he wished for is that…- jirachi was saying when I interrupted.
-Of course! Why not? Buizel, anything that you wish I shall accept it, it's your wish, don't let me decide for you. - I said to him.
-Actually, this wish involves you Kevin. - Jirachi said.
If it Involved me, Better yet!
-It doesn't matter! He must've wished for something good. I know him. - I said with a smile, maybe he wished to talk to me.
-Alright, this might hurt a little in time Kevin, but I hope you can resist all the painful parts of the process. Wish granted. - Jirachi said as the flash made Jirachi vanish.
Painful parts? Why pain? I really doubt Buizel would wish something painful for me. Jirachi must be fooling around.
I went inside the cave again and sat down in a rock, Buizel followed me inside. As I saw him, he just kept on staring at me.
-What is the matter? - I asked at my buddy, he continued to stare at me. –Want me to give you a hug? Because you miss them a lot, right? - I asked and then he immediately jumped towards me to hug me. – I missed you too my friend. – I said as I felt that he hugged me back. – I hope your wish comes true buddy, I really do.- I said to him, suddenly however, I felt a strange sensation around my whole body, a big chill surrounded me, it was something completely new…
My head started to hurt a little bit, but then it passed quickly, I shook my head to awaken up a little.
-Whoa… that was strange… quite weird actually…- I said.
Buizel wasn't staring at me now however, but at my hair. I don't really know why… but I am not… Wait… Why is my hair orange? Buizel then jumped away and when he stood on the ground he kept looking at me with a big smile, his eyes were wide open.
-Bui bui!!- He said with a really happy voice as he kept looking at me.
-Buizel, what is with you?- I said when I felt another chill around my whole body, but this time it threw me to the floor of how strong it was, I got tired… I couldn't stand right. Then a feeling of pain began growing quickly throughout my body. –Bu…Buizel! Help… me, please! – I couldn't hide the tears of pain from my face, I felt pain grow in my body every time more and more and it kept going on non-stop. I wonder what Buizel wished for… this hurts too much for me to hold any longer, could he really wish for something bad for me? No, there must be a reason… My feet were beginning to hurt way too much, I could actually feel some finger toes breaking, it's like, when I broke my leg that day in the park, but all my fingers were breaking their bones and it began too burn way too much and I couldn't feel them at all, to make it worse my legs began to break its bones as well…muscles burned a lot, I felt a lot of pain since I could actually feel my legs almost like if they were shrinking.
I couldn't avoid to feel afraid, I really didn't know what was happening to me, I was shaking of fear and I couldn't control it, I had no control over my body! I felt like I was going to die right there. Was this the pain Jirachi meant? What was all this pain for?? Why did Buizel wish for something like this?!
-Buizel… what did you wish fo…? - I was asking when no words came from my mouth, I tried to breathe… but It was no use, I was choking! No!! I hate Choking! Everything except choking!!!!! I kept trying to breathe with a lot of strength in it, I grabbed my neck as I was choking, but I didn't get any air at all…
My whole body began to hurt, pain just grew from every inch of my body, I couldn't stand it... I almost wished for death at that moment. Am I really going to die? Was Buizel trying to kill me all along? no... No! That isn't possible! Buizel is my best friend! He would never wish for me to die! I trust him and I shall suffer everything he gives to me!
Suddenly the pain in my lungs vanished fast, I could breathe once more... I took a real deep breath to fill my lungs once again. Actually, deeper than I thought I would. I have never breathed this deep before... I feel a lot better than before... but what is Buizel's wish??
I began to have lots of chills throughout my whole body, but then my arms hurt and burnt the same way as the legs did and many bones cracked and locked into different places… the shiver from that chill that kept going. I was growing hair throughout all my body… orange hair…
Then I understood what Buizel had wished for… He never wished any bad for me, he didn't do anything wrong at all. Oh my God!!! I am a buizel now!!!! It was obvious now, that wish was actually a great wish… did he really wish in the deep of his heart for me to become a Buizel? I couldn't believe it, this would be a wish I would have made myself If I had really wished for it, maybe it was a wish I had in my heart as well, but I never did realize it… to be honest with myself, I kind of enjoyed it.
As the transformation went on I had to look at my hands, they were paws now, they stopped hurting… although something was tickling my body, it was really ticklish, that ticklishliness rose up to my arm, I could see what seemed to be a Buizel's tail, my new tail, my tail kept on moving from right to left, it was wagging with no control at all… yes, I admit it… I am enjoying what is happening to me, it is painful, but it feels good.
My body hurt and burnt same as every limb did, my body seemed to get smaller and lots of fur grew from it… as that happened, my neck began to burn and hurt as well, as something from it grew, it was that floating sac, and as that happened I began to have a really big headache, my whole skull was cracking and shifting into new places… this was maybe the most painful part of it all…
Buizel was eventually removing the clothes from the way as they could no longer fit my body, he even took off my shirt because I was beginning to get tied inside one of the sleeves.
At this point I was way too exhausted and I fell flat on the floor letting everything happen, it was about to end I think.
Buizel began to carry me to the sleeping bag for what I could see. He was actually helping me feel better, I think, he got me inside of the sleeping bag… Cain wasn't there so I guessed that he was in his Pokéball. Buizel began to tuck me inside the sleeping bag.
My skull kept breaking until I couldn't even feel my face because it was blinded in with pain and a burning feeling, I touched my head and I had a maw… although it still had a bit of skin, the fur was growing slowly, the chills still remained, those exciting feelings grew stronger, I can't describe this… it was a mix of physical pain but spiritual pleasure, I enjoyed is.
As I saw my body I could realize that I had become a Buizel completely already, I am not a human anymore… I have become a Pokémon, this time forever. I thought that it was over but the transformation didn't stop yet.
My head began to hurt way too much… I couldn't stand this pain, this was the most painful part of all…
-I… ca… stan id….-
I tried to say "I can't stand it" but it was evident, I started to loose my human language… my tongue was changing as well it was bigger than before and I couldn't maintain it inside my mouth, my neck was still burning and as I spoke it burned way more, I assumed my vocal chords were changing too.
–I ca… … I… ban… bu… …bu…-
I tried to talk as I panted between words, but then I couldn't speak the human language anymore, every time my language changed I couldn't avoid but to feel good…
-Bi…Bu… bui… buiii! Bui!!!!!!!-
I couldn't understand a thing I was saying now, but I know what I wanted to say. –Bui Buii bu bui!!! bu bui!!- I said as I was crying and feeling good. I was trying to say "I can't stand it anymore!!! Help me!!" Hopefully he would understand…
My mind began to burn, it hurt a lot… I began to think that this was the last change out of the whole transformation, I began to get really tired, sweat was over my whole body, I don't have much energy as before, I am really tired, but I was still shaking. Buizel looked at me as he finished covering me inside the sleeping bag, he looked at me, and spoke.
-Bui… Bu bui bui thi bis buing tu buo…- I could, slowly understand him, although the "Bui" sound never changed. –Bi Buish was bot bueant to buarm you… I buink you buow that I bould bever buant you to suffer…- I could finally understand him, I couldn't help but to smile. –I love you Kevin…- Those words echoed my mind, he loves me, he loves me… he really does! I feel… so happy now. - I didn't want you to feel like this... I only had a wish…
… now… please sleep… recover.- Buizel said, he then got inside the sleeping bag and he hugged me, right there… all the pain every single burn stopped as soon as he was near me, I closed my eyes there and I hugged my best friend.
…
I did not sleep however, I wanted to feel the process of the transformation… when it ends, that is where I want to sleep… what made me happy in the inside however, wasn't the fact that I am going to be able to talk to my best friend tomorrow, but the fact that I heard him said that he loved me…
…
I can see a great meadow in front of me… am I sleeping? Because I can still feel Buizel's presence…
To be Continued…
