'Whatever has happened to me, I won't forget it, ever'

1:10 AM AEST 22/08/2019

I woke up with a jolt, not fully comprehending where I was. Then I quickly remembered I was on my bed, trying to sleep.

'Why did I wake up? What time is it?' I sat up and squinted my eyes, barely seeing that the clock was pointing at 1:10 AM

'... I woke up... at 1 in the morning… Really Daniel? Really?' I then sighed and flopped on my back.

"Man I can't sleep…" I heard my sister Sarah mumble then I turned to look at her,

"Can't sleep?"

"You too?"

I nodded. She then sighed and proceeded to stare at the ceiling, while I grabbed my phone and checked to see if anything interesting had happened.

'CNN.. all about voting...

Discord.. nothing new…

Man nothing is happening right now'

'Well I can't go back to sleep anyway' So I got out of bed and went to the restroom to wash my face. The water felt... colder.. to say the least. My skin shivered wherever it touched. I didn't think much of it at the time and grabbed a towel to dry my face. I then walked out and checked the clock, this time wearing my glasses '1:.. 34? Alright then'

"Hiiyup!" I pounced onto the bed, shaking the whole thing.

"Hey don't do that! You're shaking the bed!" I did nothing but blep at her.

I then suddenly felt a jolt down my back, "What was that?"

"What was what? What're you talking ab-AH!"

We both winced as our bodies tensed up and we felt an immense amount of pain we had never felt before. As I closed my eyes, I felt my legs deforming, my hair changing as well as my bone structure. Before even a minute had passed, I passed out to the screams of my sister.

LATER

"Ughh…" I slowly opened my eyes, feeling all hazy and fatigued. "What just.. happened?"

I tried moving my hands, except.. they didn't feel like hands. I blinked and brought my "hands" up to my face, when I saw two paws, two pink and furry paws.

'EH?!' I then proceeded to touch all over my face and body, and also looked at them.

After a quick observation, I concluded that I was 'An Espeon… What the fuck?' I then looked over to my sister who was covered under the blanket.

"Sarah?" I crawled over to her, struggling the whole way due to the unfamiliarity to my.. paws.

Sarah didn't respond, so that made me worry. I wasn't expecting much to be honest, but what I saw shocked me immensely. My sister had turned into a black fox, with rings on its forehead, tail, ears and legs, which were all emitting a yellow glow. Almost immediately, with my vast knowledge about Pokemon, I recognized the situation. My sister had become an Umbreon.

'Pokemon... We've changed into Pokemon…'

My mind was a mess, it really was. On one hand I was exploding with happiness! My fantasy of being a Pokemon had finally come true. But on the other hand, I'm not sure if happiness is the right thing to feel. My sister was unconscious, my parents were…

"My parents!" I hastily stood up and ran to the door. But of course, I forgot one thing: I'm a quadruped. So I tripped and bonked my head on the ground.

It HURT!

"Owowowowowowow!" I rubbed my head with a paw but tried once again to stand up and walk.

"Ok Dan, you got this... Left paw, right paw. Left paw, right paw... Oh wait, back legs too, yea I gotta remember that." After a minute, which I now realized was a very short time, I could easily walk around on all fours.

So with that newly-acquired skill, I pushed the door open and bolted over to my parents' room.

Expecting the worst, I opened the door and looked inside. There, on the bed, were two more Pokemon. A Flareon and a Leafeon. The Flareon was hyperventilating while the Leafeon was snoring, quite peacefully too. The Flareon quickly looked at me and said,

"Daniel?"

"Mom? Is that you? Mom!"

I ran over to her and pulled her in for a tight hug. My mother hugged me back as well and started to calm down a little.

"You're turned into these.. things too?!" My mom asked

"Pokemon, not things" I replied in mock irritation.

"Fine whatever. Are you ok though?" My mother put her head back and asked.

I nodded while feeling the warmth that's radiating from her.

"Wow you're warm"

"I am? Well I do feel colder all of a sudden." She said while wrapping more of the blanket around her.

"Seems like dad changed too" I remarked, with my mom adding in "And he doesn't even care, hmph"

She kicked him once and he sat up almost instantly. My mom and I jumped, I fell down off the bed with an "Ouch!" and my mom held a paw on her chest.

"I'm up! I'm.. up?" He looked to the right, then to the left and noticed us, "Uhhh… hi?"

I sat up with a groan while my mother spoke up

"Finally decided to wake up huh?"

"What? Who are you? What are you?"

"I'm your wife sleepy ass!"

"My what?" Then me and my mom both blinked and deadpanned.

"Welp I'm outta here" I said as I walked out, leaving my parents to sort things out themselves.

My sis seemed to have woken up as I heard a scream coming from our room. I rolled my eyes as I pondered on how I'm gonna explain what's happening to her. I decided it was gonna be quick and simple and opened the door. When I did, my sister immediately covered her body with the pillow,

"H-Hey! Get out!"

"Why are you covering yourself? I literally can't see anything"

"S-Shut up!" I raised my brows but decided to do as she said and not say a thing.

"Why am I.. this?" I answered with a zipping motion across my muzzle and my sister groaned,

"Fine you can talk"

"Well I'll tell ya. The reason you're turned into an Umbreon is... I don't know"

"..."

I smiled.

"You can't be serious"

"I am!"

"Well.. fuck"

"Mmmhm"

And then, silence. My sister was speechless while I had nothing to say so I sat down, and waited for something to happen.

LATER

CLAP CLAP

Both mine and Sarah's ears flicked and pointed upwards after hearing those two claps which could only be my mother's. We looked at each other in confusion and headed out to the living room

"What could she be calling us over for?" I pondered.

"I don't know, must be something important though," My sister shrugged.

When we arrived at the room, my dad and mom had already grabbed a seat,

"Come and sit down, we've got something we wanna discuss with you two"

I raised my brows and took a seat while my sis did the same without a word. My mom decided to start off the discussion,

"So, we're now all gathered here. As you can see, we've all been turned into these…", she looked at me and continued, "pokemon. The question that immediately comes to mind is 'How?' and 'Why?'. Sadly those two are ones we can't answer as of yet, but will hopefully get an answer to in the future. Next is the question of 'What should we do now?'. Contacting officials is not ideal, especially the cops, since the news has been rather.. disturbing.. to say the least."

"Disturbing.. how?" I queried.

"I don't think you can handle the information we have."

"Oh come on mom, I've read articles about murders, even ones that go into full details. What's so bad about this that you can't let me see?"

My mom nervously looked to my dad, who just raised a brow and shrugged, seemingly saying it's fine. My mom then sighed and opened her phone, presumably going to the article, and gave me her phone to read. My sister was curious and thus leaned over to read it alongside me.

"Hello. This morning, we at BBC News bring you breaking news. You are likely wondering what has happened to some of your loved ones,"

'Yea obviously'

"These former humans have appeared to have transformed into creatures from the hit phenomenon game most people know as 'Pokemon'. At this time, neither Nintendo or Game Freak have commented on this matter."

'Hmm...they seem kinda sus to me…'

"The British Government has warned the public to stay clear and be cautious of these so-called Pokemon. We do not know at this time whether this is a contagious pandemic, nor do we know if they are capable of using their magical powers."

'A 'contagious pandemic'? What are we, a virus? And 'magical powers' huh? Better try that later'

"We are currently ruling out the possibility of this grand event being punishment from the great beyond."

I deadpanned at that sentence but kept on reading.

"We do not have detailed reports yet, but within the last hour, the country of Hungary has effectively collapsed into anarchy due to this event… We can simply assume that some areas have been affected more than others."

I winced a little, not thinking that could happen.

"We are very lucky to have camera crews there right now filming this… Also we have concluded that the former humans cannot speak any human languages"

"They only seem to be able to say the name of the species they have become…"

"Wait so we can't…" I looked up at my parents and they nodded. I raised my brow and kept reading.

"The U.N Is currently making plans to create a zone in Hungary. Other nations surrounding Hungary have seemed to take the worst of it along with the central African country of Chad, eyewitness reports claim."

'Oof, that is.. not good, like at all'

I then put the phone on the table in front and looked back to my mother.

"You see why I was hesitating before?" My mom asked, not completely expecting an answer,

"Nope, still don't." I then smiled at my deadpanning mom, who was clearly not happy with my answer.

"Anyways, as I said earlier, we can't go to officials as people seem to have.. not taken this event calmly. So I think it's best to just stay put for now until further news has been released. Any disagreements?" We all shook our heads and agreed on my mother's option.

"Ok next thing we need to talk about. School."

I groaned almost immediately, with me mother glaring at me and my sis glancing at me.

"Let me speak first. Since it's not certain who has or hasn't been turned into a pokemon, it might not be best to go to school tomorrow. You might be the only mon among a whole group of "humans", bleh it's weird to say that... Anyways you might be in that situation or you might be in a group consisting of all Pokemon with some amount of humans scattered somewhere or huddled into a group. Either way, someone's going to get uncomfortable, and we don't want that to happen."

"So we don't have to go to school tomorrow?"

My dad nodded and I cheered with a small "Yes!", my mother rolling her eyes and my sis trying to contain her own excitement.

"And you say you're 'matured'. Pfft yea.." My sis remarked.

"Hey can't I act like a kid sometimes?!" I replied, annoyed.

My sis rolled her eyes and my mom stepped in before a fight could happen,

"You two stop right now, we don't need a fight."

I huffed and sat down while my sis looked at my mother and nodded.

"Alright, I think we've discussed enough for today, why don't we head back to sleep and call it a day?" My dad suggested.

We all nodded and walked back to our own rooms. When I got back to my room, I immediately jumped into my bed and flopped down.

Sighs 'Man today has been.. wild... And it's not even 6 AM yet!'

I shook my head and calmed myself before going to sleep, pondering about what else could happen next.
