I Don't Own Pokemon


It took awhile before I figured out how to remove the red from my arm, but once I did, it became a good bit easier to go back and forth. And using that I figured out how to deconstruct my Illusions. Of course, that would be a great amount of progress to make if it wasn't for the fact that it took me almost a straight week to get to that stage and it only worked for my right arm.

I got to say, it was weird working with an arm that was about two feet shorter and the other arm and was a fox leg. It was really weird, currently I was trying to work on my legs but wasn't having much success. Looking downwards at my legs I noted the six pokeballs on my belt.

It took a while to build up the courage, if I'm honest with myself but, in the end I still caught myself. Really it wasn't as bad as Pikachu made it out to be, I was vaguely aware that time was passing but that was mostly it. It wasn't even really uncomfortable, just a little different.

Like I said it's been a week, so I'd already pasted by Saffron, while I wouldn't have minded challenging Sabrina, I didn't want to deal with her while she was insane. Even if I was a dark type, making me safe to basically everything she could do to me, didn't mean I liked touching crazy without at least a ten foot pole.

Currently the team and me were, sitting while I was getting ready to prepare their lunches. I was just enjoying the breeze in the air after I finished setting up the bowls before getting something for myself, while waiting on the other to get started, when I heard a yell off in the distances. Opening my eyes I stood up, while the rest of my team looked over to where we heard the shouting.

I nodded to my team, as they moved into position. Luxio ran in front of me, with Eevee and Charmander flanking him, Misdreavus floated down into my shadow while Pidgeotto flew up and soared over to see what was the sound while we began to make our way over towards the sound.

Maybe it was overkill but since walking down this route I've been attacked by some surprisingly strong Pokemon, and I didn't feel like walking into an ambush. Sure it was great training for my team but I wouldn't mind if we all just had a pleasant trip to Vermilion. After a minute Pidgeotto flew back over and told us.

"I think it's those three humans we're running into. I think they fell into a hole" Oh, I keep crossing paths with them, whatever might as well see what they've got themselves into now. Walking for about twenty second, I came across the hole that Pidgeotto was talking about. Bending down to pear down at the hole's occupants I called out.

"Any reason why the four of you are down there?" All three human's heads snapped up and looked at me, so I waved. Ash was the first one to react.

"Kyu! Boy am I glad to see you! Do you think you could help us get out of this pit? Someone thought this would be a good prank for some reason" I just nodded as I told most of my team to keep a look out, I recognized this episode after all and didn't want to get a face full of water once the Squirtles appeared. And I say most because before she could float off I asked Misdreavus.

"Do you mind Shadow Sneaking them up?" She just floated out of my shadow and said to me before floating down into the hole.

"Of course not Captain, just don't expect them to appear right side up" I wouldn't expect anything else as I watched the three humans and Pikachu come spiraling out onto the ground from my shadow. Giving a nod to Misdreavus I turned to look back at the four still on the ground and said.

"Sorry about that, she isn't that good at transporting people yet, but you all are out of the hole now so I think we're even" It was a lie but I didn't feel like having them argue with my friend. Once they stood up I gave Ash time to scan Misdreavus, and after getting her description just grumbled before putting his pokedex away, before all three of them gave me their thanks.

"Now that I've saved you all from what would have been surely a painful death, I'm going to return to my lunch" With that I turned and walked away from the group but it seems that they wanted to stick around as they followed me back to my site, after making my all my Pokemon returned back as well I let them get back to their lunch and turned back towards the unwanted group and asked.

"Anything else you guys need?" Getting I was expecting a no, which I could use to make them leave but instead Brock took off his backpack and told me.

"We were planning on having lunch soon anyway, so to show my thanks I thought I'd cook for us all" I just gave him a small nod with a fake smile at the thought of having to eat human food again. Not that it was suddenly bad, no, but everything just kinda tasted either slightly stale or just under flavored, nothing to bad but compared to Pokemon food it just wasn't comparable.

"That sounds nice, I won't mind to not having to waste my own storage of pokefood" With that I had my teammates come forward and dump the food the food they didn't get a chance to eat back into the box. And while the three weren't looking I pulled out a hand full from the box and stuffed it into my pocket.

Sadly my Pokemon noticed and while Luxio, Charmander and Eevee gave me vary degrees of pitying looks, Misdreavus just started giggling while Pidgeotto didn't notice. Shaking my head at them I looked over towards Brock and noted he had a few bags out each with a type printed on the side as he began to fill up my Pokemon's bowls.

"You make you're own food?" I already knew but it wouldn't do to act like I already knew that. He just nodded towards me and said.

"Yeah, it's a hobby of mine, the food's based on type you see. Sadly none of use have a Ghost or Fire type so those two won't be getting the ones I've spent more time on but I've heard that their still pretty good, so it should be ok" I nodded, while pushing down the very small about of jealousy away and instead just decided to be happy for my team, they did earn a treat. Still, looking over at Brock I was curious enough to ask.

"Do you have any for Dark types?" He looked at me in confusion but still nonetheless pulled out a much smaller bag and said.

"I do, but because there aren't many Dark types in Kanto, I haven't had much time or subjects to really experiment. Why do you happen to have a Dark type on you?" I just shook my head but still held out my hand and got in return a small round ball of Pokemon food. I knew he wasn't going to not watch me to see what I would do with it so I just popped it in my mouth.

And holy hell was it bitter, struggling to keep it down and knowing I would fail to do so, I spat it out while making an disgusted sound before turning to the Brock. Ignoring his weirded out expression I ran my arm across my mouth before saying.

"Yeah, no Dark type is going to like that trust me, way to bitter" He seemed to think I was insulting him this time and responded by trying to make me look stupid.

"Well it is meant for a actual Pokemon, so I'll wait to here what one has to say before revising anything" I didn't bother to comment on that. I doubted I'd tell anyone, who wasn't on my team about that particular secret of mine. At least until I could mange to bloody be able to drop my illusions and put them back up without to much effort. Something that still would be awhile before happening.

Still with my disappointment passing and with most of my Pokemon finally stop laughing at me, well expect for the Ghost but that was expected. I sat down with the rest of my team with a plate full of what should be delicious food. I wonder if Brock would notice if I tossed it behind a tree?

Nah, that would be rude, so with that I slowly began to eat. It wasn't bad, no human food I've had was ever bad but that didn't mean that it was a great meal. But I ate it nonetheless while only having to dip into the reserves in my pocket once or twice. It was weird that it didn't take that long before something like my food preferences to change so completely, I knew but I didn't really care.

After the meal was done the three humans left and I was back to being alone with my team. Watching them leave I wondered if I messed up the canon episode now that their group never found the Pokemon Squad and the Rockets weren't here to win his Squirtles trust.

To be fair I'm pretty sure that's how he originally got his Bulbasuar as well and he still has that Pokemon on his team. Whatever it's not my problem. With that I stood up and got my team to help me clean up around our area. While I wouldn't mind seeing if I could get a Squirtle I was already behind on the schedule I wanted to follow and I really wanted to finally get to Vermilion.

With that, now that we were all packet up, we made our way towards the road and headed off. I still had another week of travel before I would reach the city, so their was no time like the present. As we were walking down the street Luxio who was the closest to me currently if you didn't count my shadow hidden Ghost asked.

"Hey Dad?" Looking down at him I said.

"Yeah, whats up Luxio" He seems naturally happy and smiling face turned into a questioning look as he asked.

"I was just wondering, are you trying to become a Zorua or are you trying to revert?" I was about to asked for the difference when I felt myself smack myself in the face as I realized what I had been doing wrong. It wasn't really my fault but I still thought that being human was my default. Which was how I manged to revert the changes, which in itself was worded wrong.

I wasn't reverting changing to become a human, I was replying my illusions. Sighing I just shook my head and called out ot the group while giving my Son a grateful look, wait son?... yeah Son, that sounded right.

"Stop moving for a moment team. My amazing Luxio here just figured something out, about my illusions" I didn't care that he blushed as I made sure everyone heard me before I closed my eyes and tried to switch up my thought process. I wasn't reverting back to human after a partial change no I was reverting back into a Pokemon from a full change.

After a moment I felt a weird feeling that almost reminded me of putting on a old suit that still fit if only barely. Opening my eyes, I noticed that it seems that my clothes didn't go with me, as I found myself twisted up in my now very over sized jeans. After a bit of mayhem which involved my Son helping me out while my Ghost's laughter echoed around the clearing I had stopped us in.

Finally getting out of my clothes, which just sounded wrong, I looked around the clearing while slowly walking up to my curious looking Pokemon, while paying attention to my new...old? legs to make sure I didn't trip while trying to get use to having four legs. After a moment I looked up at my team before saying.

"I'm surprised that, actually worked first time" Tilting my head to the side on instinct, I noted, that none of that was a language I knew I could speak. I didn't have to worry about having to figure out what it was before Luxio excitingly exclaimed.

"Dad you can use pokespeech now! That's so cool" Turns out smiling with this face felt weird, it more naturally feel into a smirk than a proper smile. Still I shook my head before saying to them all.

"I'm glad I could have you all help me out, but would you all turn around for a bit while I figure out how to look human again?" I didn't bother to hide my snicker as most of the Pokemon Blushed before looking away, Luxio especially looked horrified at what that meant, while Pidgeotto just looked around confused for a moment before going along with it.

Looking down at my small fox body for a moment, I imagined and focused on what I was just looking like. After a moment I was back at standing above my Pokemon. Looking down I noted that I was wearing clothes. Looking over towards the pile of clothes still on the ground I concealed that I manged to illusion up some clothes.

Which also meant I was still technically naked, and it really should have bothered me more than it did. But I knew realistically that because it was an illusion it meant that their wasn't actually anything beneath the clothes I was projecting on myself. Oh well, I wasn't going to complain even if it was really weird to think about.

Reaching down I grabbed my belt, but I was already 'wearing' one so after a moment of thought I loosened the straps a little before throwing it over my right shoulder and under my left arm. So all six pokeballs were at chest level. I could deal with that before I got something to replace it. Maybe something that could expand for my illusion. Oh well thoughts for later. Turning to the group who of all were still facing away.

"Alright you all can look" I blinked as pokespeech slipped past my lips. After a test I concluded I could literary speak everything now. No more saying that speaking Pokemon was out of my range but it wouldn't be good if I used it in company considering it still came out as a mix of the syllables that make up my specie's name.

Watching as they turned back around I pulled Luxio into a hug as I told him.

"I'm so proud that you're so smart, Son" I felt him tense a little before just hugging me back as well as he could. Looking over to the rest of the team I waited a moment before standing back up. We still needed to get to Vermilion after all.


Took him almost two weeks and a good hint before he manged it but he can now revert and no longer needs clothes. The clothes thing really was just a thing I came up with once I realized that his clothes aren't part of his illusion. So I just made him make them apart of his illusion. Anyway besides that part at the end was mostly just a in between chapter before he fights the Gym in the next City. Something which should be happening next chapter so look out for that. Anyway that's all I have to add so. See ya.
