Pokémon: Changeling
Chapter 1 – Revival
Just a little clarification before we begin:
"Hi." = Humans talking
"Hi." = Pokémon talking
'Hi.' = thoughts
I awoke to overwhelming pain.
It seemed not even a full minute had passed since I had fallen asleep, but, as soon as my eyes snapped open, I could tell the room I was in was not my bedroom like I had expected; instead what I saw seemed to resemble an operating theater of a hospital. However, the blinding white lights that seemed to be focused on me and the fact my vision was blurred from the sheer agony I was experiencing prevented me from making out any details beyond that. I could feel and hear my heart beating extremely slowly but my heart-rate was beginning to gradually increase from its near, or perhaps total, standstill. To my horror, I realized that I could not truly feel the rest of my body, just the unbearable pain engulfing it.
Then I noticed the voices talking right next to me.
"Time of death?" a woman's voice asked.
"20:03," came a man's reply. "Poor guy. I can't believe it happened again."
In a panic, I realized that they thought I was already dead. I had to let them know I was still alive! I tried to move, to struggle, to holler, but all I managed was a barely audible gasp.
"By Arceus! He's still alive!" the man's voice echoed in my ears.
'Arceus. Why did that sound so familiar?' I thought to myself. There wasn't any time to ponder this any further as the other voice quickly yelled "Quick! Give him another dose!"
Within a few seconds of those words being said, my whole world went dark.
