Martin's Point of View
Something feels a bit different, I swear my bed was softer than this. Opening my eyes I see a white ceiling and greyish walls. This is not my house. Looking around the room, my bed is a bit like a dog's bed, with a few pillows in it and it is sitting on top of a desk or something like it. There is a TV on top of the dresser, a large bed in the centre of the room with a few more furnishings. The desk is next to the TV in the corner of the room. There is light coming through a nearby window, even with the curtains drawn by it is still a bit bright.
There is white bandages covering my blue and black fur WTF. Ok this can't be a dream it is way too vivid for that. Looking over this new body I notice two white protrusions, in the shape of ovals, coming out of my forearms. They look like bone, tapping them, they sound like it too. Weird.
Moving around a little, I heard a slight rustling sound. There is a diaper between my legs and feeling the front it is wet. It is cold and not exactly the best feeling. Opening up the front, I am thankful, I am still a guy that could have gotten a bit weird. Well hopefully I don't need these during the day too. I do like them but wearing them all the time can be inconvenient. I should leave it on for now just in case.
At least I am still bipedal, I should have no problem moving around. Standing up I am a little unsteady on my feet. I wonder if it is because I am tired or just not use to this body? It might be the tail sticking out the back of my diaper that is putting me off? Climbing down off this desk using the chair, I walk to the other side of the room where there is a mirror to get a better look at myself.
These bandages are all over my body, excluding my head, so it is a bit hard to see everything. A pair of pointed ears and a long dog-like nose. It appears I am a Riolu, ok that is neat, I guess. They are one of my favourites.
So to start off with let see what I remember. My name is Martin Robinson, age: 22, job: computer technician, hobbies gaming, reading, troll idiots on social media and Dungeons and Dragons. I live alone in my three bedroom house, my sister sometimes stays with me and the last thing I remember was going to bed after a long day at work. Well that appears to be in order, no memory loss, I think.
How did I end up as a Riolu though, did I die, doubt it but it is not impossible. What other ways have I heard of, from those fanfictions I like reading. Well reincarnation is the most common, I can't really think of any others. Am I in a world with humans or just Pokemon. At the moment I would guess with humans given the size of all this stuff, but it is not like I have the best frame of reference. I don't even know how tall I am.
Taking off the first few bandages, I can see a little bit of missing fur but no major scars or open wounds, it looks like they have healed fully. That is least until I get to the one on my left arm there is a larger scab running down my arm and as I start to take it off it begins to hurt a little. I think I am going to leave that one on.
Doing another look over the room under the desk I was on, there are two bags, one looks like I would be able to carry but the other is much larger, probably for an adult human. The smaller bag has some burn marks while the larger one is missing a strap and has a hole in the side of it. The larger bag is mostly empty (a few Pokeball, potions and female clothing), but the smaller bag has some winter clothes that would fit me, some baby toys, dried food and of course diapers. Looks like this is my bag.
Suddenly I notice a sixth sense, I feel a bit happier, the feeling is coming from outside. Looking out the window I see Nidorina walking on the pavement with a human, their trainer I guess. It seems like I am in the suburbs at the moment all I can see is houses and one black large tower that sticks out above everything else, off in the distance.
That right Riolus are known as the Empathy Pokemon, that must be what I am sensing. It would be annoying if I was in a large crowd, I wonder if I would feel overwhelmed. I guess I could try a few things I read in fanfictions, one of them might work.
Sitting down, I try to calm myself. I want to be able to feel others' emotions but not have them affect my. It would be nice given I can't read social cues to save my life. How did it go again, imagine a box and put my emotion into it then close the box. Focusing for a moment, I feel something click in my head. I hope that just wasn't my imagination, that was surprisingly easy. Instincts kicking in perhaps?
So let's try to extend how far I can feel others' emotions. If it continues to affect me then I know it didn't work. It is much harder than the last thing I tried, it takes a good 10ish minutes, I think to figure it out. I can feel a few more other people now instead of just the two. Not sure how many there are, it feels fuzzy, at least they don't appear to be affecting my emotions.
Lets try focusing on one of the ones closer to me. Are they in the same house as me? As I focus on them, then I feel a tingle in the back of my mind. I recoil from the contact, stopping whatever was causing it. I can sense them coming closer to me, what should I do?
