PokéMorphs

A Pokémon Fan fiction

Chapter 3

The three companions made their way out of the room, down the hallway, and out of the cave. "Goodbye, strange cave," Chi Chu said, waving his paw at it. "Come along, now." Gigi said, shooing him back onto the trail. Chi Chu scurried next to Pikan. "Where do we go now?" He asked softly. "Well, I was thinking, maybe we can go to the next town or city, ya know, closest to here and find some clothing for our new selves." Pikan replied.
"And just how are we going to do that without drawing attention to ourselves?" Gigi asked. "We'll just sneak in and out of the clothing stores around until we've found what we need!" He laughed. Gigi rolled her big eyes. "We'll be like Ninjask!" Chi Chu cheered. "Exactly!" Pikan agreed. "But doesn't clothing cost money?" Gigi asked.
Pikan stopped in his tracks and pondered the question. After a long while, he finally came to a conclusion. "We'll just take them!" He said. Gigi gawked at him. "But we can't do that! It's wrong!" she said. "We're Pokémon! We don't carry around money and no human would care if we took just a few of their clothing." He said. "You're missing the big picture," Gigi sighed. "First, we have to sneak pass human security, then make it to the area where the clothing are displayed. Next, we have to transform into our 'human' selves to see if the clothes even fit. Finally, we have to sneak out of the store, unnoticed."
Pikan looked at her, completely astonished. "Wow...that's a lotta work," he said, scratching his head. "Well, duh!" Gigi said, but Pikan just ignored her. "We better do this at night, when the clothing store is closed." "At least we can agree on that." Gigi said. Chi Chu perked up. "But wouldn't the se-cure-ity be stronger at night?" Chi Chu asked. They all thought about how to get through the task they were about to face. "I know! I'll just short-circuit the electricity to the store!" Pikan concluded. "And I'll take care of the humans!" Gigi added. "How?" Chi Chu asked. Gigi elaborated her part of the plan. Pikan added more in his part and Chi Chu contributed to the plan as well.
They argued and agreed to the ever-changing plan until the night crept upon them. When they've finally realized how late it was getting, Pikan, Gigi, and Chi Chu decided to turn in under the cool shade of an oak tree. Their plan danced in their minds all through the night, except for Pikan. As he lied against the trunk of the tree, Pikan thought of his new counterpart. He thought about the advantages of being a human. Pikan would be able to talk to the pretty human girls who like to cuddle with him. He would be able to fend off human bullies more effectively. But most importantly, he would finally be able to handle his former trainer that abused him verbally and physically.
"I'll show him...I'll show him that I can be strong without him...I'll show him that I can survive without him...I don't need a human like him to be my trainer...I'm fine without him...I'm with my new friends now...I don't need a human...I don't need a human...I AM a human!" Pikan's mind was put at ease when Gigi and Chi Chu snuggled up against him. He finally fell asleep.

You must defeat all internal demons, Pikan.
