-1Merry Christmas my crazy critics! I got a laptop for Christmas! I'm so happy, I'm gonna update now. Rejoice!
Mike landed in a deserted alleyway. He let go of Clara, who jumped out of his arms and desperately ran away from him. Slowly, his wings shrunk and went back into his back. His scales became smoother, and the razor sharp jaws in his mouth shrunk down to size. His entire body began to shrink, and his tail zipped back into his butt. Mike looked around. He had just turned back into a human.
"Clara?!" He called. The girl, who was hiding behind a dumpster, (go figure), peeked around at him. Upon seeing he was no longer a giant lizard, she ran up to him.
"You're a pokemorph!" She screeched at him. Mike covered his ears at the high pitched noise.
"You know, most normal people feel pain after a noise like that." Mike said. Clara ignored him.
"You can turn into a Charizard. Most people can't do that. If you can, you're something called a pokemorph." She said, getting impatient.
"So what? I got us out of there, didn't I?" Mike said. Clara thought for a moment. She didn't want to be on his bad side, and he was siding with her for the moment. She decided that she wanted to work with him.
"You know, I have a powerful team. I bet you have a powerful team, too. Not to mention you can turn into a powerful pokemon. How about we join up?" She asked the boy in front of her. Mike just shrugged.
"I don't want no damn girl dragging me down!" He said. Clara went off on him.
"I happen to have made top three in the Kanto league, and I have five badges from Johto!" Clara said, poking her chest out, putting major emphasis on her boobs. She felt a slimmer of annoyment when she saw Mike's eyes flicker there, but it was only for half a second.
"Why do you only have five badges? It's not really normal to go that far, and then just leave." He said, his eyes flicking back to her boobs for a fraction of a second. This annoyed Clara even more. She quit sticking her chest out. She stared the little boy in front of her down.
"I was going too enter the league, but I kinda got lost when flying on my pidgeot, and I ended up here." She said. Mike leaned in close to her.
"So you've been stealing this entire time?" He asked. Clara shook her head.
"No. I started stealing after the Kanto league… but mostly just so I can keep my pokemon healthy. Speaking of which, I'm gonna go steal from this pokemart nearby. You wanna come?" She asked, pointing down the alleyway." Mike shrugged. He noticed how quickly she changed the subject, but decided to let it go.
"Yeah, I'll come with you."

Ten minutes later, the two were in the pokemart of Eterna city. Mike saw a powerful looking poke ball (it was dark purple) and slipped it in his pocket. Looking around, the only person he saw was a woman on the other side of the shelf. He hurried to leave the store, but the woman grabbed his arm.
"You know that's stealing." She whispered. Mike turned and stared at her. Her eyes were an intense blue, she looked young, but the long white hair running down to her back suggested otherwise. She had a pair of snowflake earrings on, and she had on an unzipped ocean-blue light jacket on. Mike saw she was wearing blue jeans, with some white sneakers on her feet.
"I'm not stealing anything." Mike hissed at her. She shook her head.
"It's in your left pocket. I can see it poking out, even with your hand over it." Mike opened his eyes wide with alarm, but quickly recovered.
"Then maybe I'll just have to burn this building to the ground, and keep this little baby with me anyways." He whispered, a small smile forming on his lips. The woman looked him up and down, and then pulled him out of the store. She took him behind the building, making it hard for Mike to break free by holding both of his arms.
"You're a pokemon thief?" She asked. Mike hesitantly nodded.
"Let me see your pokemon." She said. Mike gaped at her.
"DO IT!" She barked at him. He hurriedly released all of his pokemon. The woman looked Monferno up and down. She then went to Buizel, inspecting it thoroughly. She then looked Wigglytuff over, and finally went to his brand new Eevee.
"How much experience does this one have?" She asked. Mike looked at his shiny pokemon.
"Well, none really. I've only had it for two days, and that was a high profile mission that I didn't want to mess up." he said.
"I have a machine… that will let Eevee evolve into all of its eveloved forms." The woman said. This caught Mike's attention.
"You mean Eevee can switch between its evolved forms?" He asked. The woman nodded.
"But only if you can manage to prove yourself as a worthy pokemon thief. My name is Elizabeth, by the way. I've been doing this way longer than you." She said. Mike stared.
"So… what is it you want me to do to prove myself?" Mike asked. Elizabeth grinned.
"I want you to compete with me. We are both going to try and steal a boatload of the Eterna city gym's badges, and then sell them on the black market. Of course, you will have to worry about me trying to steal what you're trying to steal. Do you accept? The prize will be this thing that makes Eevee switch out from all of its evolved forms. I stole it from this trainer named red. Are you interested?" She said. Mike looked at her. A grin began to spread across his lips.
"You bet." Suddenly, the building behind them erupted in flames. People were jumping out of windows and running in random directions. Mike turned to look at the woman. She was gone. Mike looked at his pokemon.
"Looks like the game… has just begun."
