Happy Vesak Day to all Buddhists reading this! This will reveal Ray's true identity. And Felicia's, too.
I knew very well I wasn't hallucinating. Rayquaza was real. And I could see him. I could seek revenge for Jim's brother, but I paused. It was a big choice. If I lost, I would die. So would Rayquaza, throwing the world into disarray. I can't afford to slip up now.
Many questions popped up in my head, prompting me to ask even more. Why? How? And why me? Of every person on this planet? My head began to spin as strange images began to pop up in my head.
An orange-haired boy trekked through the forest. An Espeon sat snugly on his shoulder while a fierce-looking Ursaring lumbered closely behind them.
"I think we're here, Ray," started the Espeon silkily. The boy stopped and turned. The Ursaring came to a halt too. Its menacing eyes scanned the surroundings and I shuddered. To my surprise, it stuck its hand into a nearby tree and scooped up some honey.
"Moonie Ted!" yelled the boy, "Don't eat here! Your honey-covered paws would leave tracks and then those people would catch up with us."
The Ursaring shrugged. "I like honey when it sticks to my paws," It licked its paw playfully. The Espeon sighed.
"No use. We'd better pitch tent soon," The Espeon's ears flattened as the sun began to set. All of a sudden…
2 men wielding guns appeared, surrounding them. "You've nowhere to hide, halfwit," sneered one, aiming at the Espeon's gem. The boy coolly threw two Balls into the air.
A Dragonite and a Salamence appeared with a 'Pop'. The former smashed the guns up easily, as if it was breaking toothpicks. As for the latter, it took down the 2 men with a superb Aerial Ace. I stifled a scream of joy. Before two bullets hit the duo, knocking them out entirely.
Out of nowhere, a net shot out, catching the boy off-guard. As he struggled inside, a dark shadow surfaced above him.
"You are finally mine," The shadow cackled. "This has been a rather long wait." He turned and beckoned to his men to take him away. Darkness ensued…
I snapped awake, with Simon by my side. He shook me very hard to ensure I was fully 'alive', as he described. I raised a paw onto my head. Before realizing that they were no longer paws-they had become hands. I touched my head. It was rather soft and hairy.
Staring down onto the cage's mirrored floor, I saw that I had taken the form of the same boy I saw. He was…me! I screamed.
After a while, I calmed down. My new body melted away, and I was back to the freak of nature I was. Thinking back, I saw the victims, my Pokemon. Fused into humans or turned into humans. Unwillingly. I felt very sorry for them. At least, before a loud 'Bang' interrupted my thoughts.
My first reaction was to morph Gastly and check out the commotion. As I floated through the bars and towards the room, I saw something that I regretted ever seeing.
Felicia was on the stainless-steel table, yelling at one of the lab assistants. I noted down the unusually large scar across that man's face.
"Shut up, Lewis," Felicia pointed a paw at the assistant's face, which he easily batted away.
"C'mon, Kelly. Are you sure you want to stay with that little freak? You've known him for, like, 3 months. And then you injected Furret DNA into yourself. Crazy?" Lewis pinched Felicia's nose affectionately. I almost puked at that. Charlie would hit the roof if their actions were taped down.
"I don't need you to interfere with my affairs. Stay out of this, before you get another ugly scar," Felicia (Kelly) curled up on the table.
Lewis' face fell. As I looked around the equipment, I saw a Ball on the floor. There was an Aerodactyl in it, and it was banging the walls on the Ball. I floated down and absorbed the Ball.
Lewis spun around. "What the…Where did that prototype go? If that robotic Aerodactyl goes missing, there goes my job!" he ranted, pacing around the room in vain. Felicia (Kelly) gave a sneer at Lewis.
In Furret, she said, "Nice work, Ray." Then, she fell asleep on the steel table. I floated away, with the Ball inside me.
