Hmmm...Wanted to know vulpix's surprise? Read this chapter and find out. Also a dark secret unknown to all but the ghost vulpix (and me) will be reveiled soon! Review (as always!) please. Any talk in is pokemon speech that has been translated (eg. if this appears Well done! this means a pokemon is saying that in its own language).
Chapter 3: The Changes Within William
William walked quickly through the woods. The sun was starting to rise and William could now see now what he had done to umbreon during the battle and it was not a pretty sight. Umbreon's nose was covered with dark, congealed blood and looked a little out of shape. It was hard to see if umbreon had a nose to begin with because of the blood. Willian turned his eyes again from the wound and checked out his own wound. The bite mark on his arm was swelling and was turning a bright red colour. It was hot and painful to the slightest touch. The scab that had formed was the colour of deadly nightshade. William ignored the pain building up in his arm and continued to carry vulpix and umbreon through the forest towards the town beyond the forest, where he was sure to be able to get everyone a good amount of healing and rest.
Umbreon looked at William's arm, where he had bit him. The wound site was now a bright red and his arm showed signs of black blotches beginning to form. Umbreon turned his head away in dismay. He knew that his blood had entered the would and if he didn't get any help, he may collapse and die within a few hours. But how, through Umbreon could he tell him what would happen if he didn't get medical attention soon?
After making it through the woods, William checked out the bite wound on his arm and gasped. Black blotches were around the bite and had spread down to his wrists and up to his shoulder. His entire arm was bright red and had swelled to nearly 1.5 times its normal size. Part of his chest was beginning to turn bright red and swelling. Suddenly he felt a weakening sensation in his entire body. His arms and legs started feeling heavier and heavier and he felt like he was in a oven. Wiliiam was starting to sweat furiously and as the sweat poured out, the area covered by blotches and inflamed skin increased. But the shocking thing was a drop of sweat dripped from his hand onto the grass. The grass blade hit, instantly began the turn yellow and almost a minute later, the blade of grass had died and had began to decompose unnaturally fast. William shivered and hurried towards town.
Umbreon saw the drop of sweat kill the blade of grass it hit. This was to be expected. He didn't know how it was produced but it was exactually like the type of sweat he could produce to protect himself with. Exactly the same strength, Exactly the same smell to it...He didn't know why, but he knew that something had happened to William's sweat pores and now were producing the same poison sweat he used to protect himself. He knew that other umbreon could not be affected by thier sweat, but William wasn't an umbreon, so it was dangerous to him in doses larger than a couple of drops. Umbreon wished that William could somehow BECOME an umbreon, so that the sweat would not affect him any more, but he knew to the best of his knowledge that humans cannot become umbreon and umbreons cannot become human. Also, he did not know if that he became human again, it would be cured or if he still would continue to produce poison sweat. He quickly disregarded the silly notions in his head and started concentrating on something else.
If Umbreon had of known what powers vulpix had, William would of been cured by now. Vulpix became conscious just after William had made it out of the forest. After waking up, it didn't take very long to realize something was very wrong with William. Vulpix knew she had to help him, but vulpix was out of ideas and hope. The traits she knew she had were there but she couldn't think of how she could use them. As William collasped onto the ground, Vulpix screamed in despair. Then she noticed Umbreon staring at her, his eyes bulging with fright. "What are you staring at me like that for, Umbreon?" she asked in a very odd voice, which sounded just like someone she heard a couple of days ago. Look at yourself, quickly! shouted Umbreon in fear and excitement. Vulpix looked down at her paws only to see that they weren't paws anymore, they had become long slender human hands. "What is happening?" she exclaimed in a human voice she recogized straight away. Fear and excitement washed over her when vulpix realized what happened to her. She had transformed into William's mother.
Well, not quite. She was a human, yes but she differed from William's mother in a few respects. Her hair was red instead of brown and she still have the destictive vulpix curl, only that it was reddish human hair. Her eyes were green instead of being brown like William's mother. Then Vulpix looked down at her trainer. William was now deep in fever. Nearly half his body was oozing out poison sweat and almost all of his body was raw red. Umbreon barked, getting Vulpix's attention. Then Umbreon spoke. Right, vulpix. I've got an idea. Open up William's bag. I knew humans well enough to have something called a "coat" in thier bag. Bring out the "coat". It should be the biggest skin in the bag. Get it out and put in on. Wink if you understood me. Vulpix winked at Umbreon and started trying to rip the bag open. No, no no! Umbreon exclaimed. Umbreon trotted over to the bag, bit something and pulled. There was a rough "zziiipppp!!!" as Umbreon pulled the zipper and slowly started unzipping William's backpack. Now try it. Vulpix grabbed the zipper and tugged it back. The zipper fully unzipped spill a oversized coat and a couple of clean pairs of underware. Umbreon grabbed the coat between his teeth. This is it. she mumbled with a mouth half full of coat. Vulpix picked up the coat after Umbreon let the drop from his mouth. She tried putting it on. It took several minutes for vulpix to work out how the coat was supprosed to be put on. After Vulpix managed to put the coat on her new human body, Umbreon continued Now you got to help William to a hospital, fast!!!Vulpix knew just what to do. She put William's arm over her shoulder and help him to continue. Despite the fact that William was feverish, William was able to continue on towards town.
William resolve to get to the pokemon centre had started dying, when a new burst of resolve came to him from inside him he never knew. Not noticing that a red-haired woman, much like her mother was aiding him, William stumbled on.
The vulpix ghost had seen all this. She knew that there was no good option for William, either he died or he became more like a vulpix using a resolve granted by her earthly curl and his now mutated genes.
It took vulpix nearly an hour to drag William into town. Once she had she questioned Umbreon "Where's the hospital?" she asked. Umbreon strugged. "Great..." thought vulpix. As she helped William into town, she got an excellent idea (or what she thought was a excellent idea...). She knew that there was a pokemon centre in every town, "Maybe...they might help William to get to a hospital...whatever that place is..." thought vulpix as she looked around. Amazingly enough, the pokemon centre was just metres from the outskirts of town (town known as Marigold Town, i made up myself...). Vulpix hurried thought the doors of the the Marigold Town Pokemon Centre, screaming "Somebody help my trainer! Somebody help him now!"
Nurse Joy (who was the second cousin of the Pewter City Joy and half-sister of the Blackthorn City Joy) was having a very well deserved (not to mentain rare) coffee break, when a young, red-haired lady ran throught the door of the building shattering the glass with a young boy in her arms.The young woman was yelling out loud. The young boy was red all over his body, with many blackish blotches all over his body. A quick look and the boy comfirmed to her that he did not have enough time to survive a trip to the hospital in Blackthorn City. Nurse Joy knew that she would have to treat him herself, if he would have any hope of survival. She mentally thanked her short classes she and her sisters had done about medicine. "Ok Chansey, we need a sketcher for a person." Nurse Joy told her Chansey. Chansey frowned then smiled. "Chann...sey!!" Chansey exclaimed and ran off to find the right sketcher.
As William was wheeled into the emergency room by Chansey. Vulpix sat on the chairs in the waiting room with Umbreon napping at her feet. Vulpix was very tense and afraid, so afraid for William's life she could not bear to transform back into her normal vulpix self until she knew William was fine. She kept on having bad thoughts of William dying and herself losing her best friend, over and over again, but eventually she dispelled the negative thoughts from her head and waited for the results to come.
After what seem like an eturnity, Nurse Joy came out of the emergency room followed by Chansey who was pushing a wheelchair, Nurse Joy had got from the hospital in Blackthorn City. Sitting in the wheelchair was William, a little thin and pale, but smiling and healthy. He was tickling two pichu that were on his lap, which squeaked in delight. Vulpix was so surprised and delighted, she instantly transformed back to her vulpix self, ran over to William, jumped up on him and started rubbing up against his chest with joy. The pichu jumped off with surprise and watched vulpix greet William in joy.
Tears flowed from William's eyes as he hugged vulpix, tears he did not stop flowing. The pichu squeaked as William was reunited with his pokemon, vulpix.
A hour later William, Nurse Joy, Chansey, the two pichu and William's pokemon were all enjoying a meal to celebrate William's recovery. Pokemon and human alike were talking, laughing and eating except for the two pichu who were having food fights and weastling under the table. "I think that the bite will become a scar" Nurse Joy chatted to William "But overall, you were a great patient." "Do you know what I contracted?" William asked urgently. "Why yes," replied Nurse Joy "I know what you had. It's called Nightshade fever. The fever is found in the blood of any dark pokemon, however the fever does not affect pokemon. It manifests in many forms. You had Umbric Nightshade fever. All of the nightshade fevers are contracted via blood entering a wound or cut. You're very lucky to still be alive." William continued eating, feeling very safe.
After the meal, William farewelled Nurse Joy, Chansey and the two pichu and started down the street. He thought that it would be a good idea to find a hotel and book a room for the night, as he was not exactly 100% fully recovered. So when he found a little inn called "The Inner Flame" he had to book a room for the night. William and his pokemon spent time playing and training before William decided to retire to bed early. He wanted a good night's sleep to restore his energy for tomorrow.
Sometime, during the night William woke up. Feeling thirsty, William switched the light on, only to see that vulpix was not asleep but still wide awake. He scratched vulpix softly behind the ears as he went to get a glass of water.
The ghost of the mother vulpix realised what her baby was going to do. If she did it, William would be in tormoil. However, the ghost could not influence her offspring's decisions. So the ghost waited and held her breath.
The baby vulpix was so excited, she could not sleep. Now she could have lots of fun with her friend William. No barriers would stop her, not even the inter-species barrier. A tiny bit of herself pledded that she did not do what she was about to do, but vulpix ignored this.
William drunk his glass of water and headed back to bed. As he entered the bedroom, he felt a strange hot flush spread acrross his body, causing him to stop. As he was about the turn off the light, a fiery pain boiled up in his throat, causing him to nearly choke. This faded and was replaced by pins and needles everywhere and a feeling like huge hands were squishing, pulling and pushing his body. Suddenly, he didn't feel like himself and more. He scratched his hands, and looked down at them. Rich, red, beautiful fur had sprouted from his hands and arms and his fingers had become short and stubby. With panic rising inside him he ran to the mirror a gave a foxy cry. His whole entire head had changed. A vulpix's head rested on his furry shoulders. Suddenly, he could not support himself anymore. He flopped to the floor, land on his hands and legs. He looked behind and noticed more than one beautiful tail behind him. He tried to scream but all that came out of his month was a moanful "Vulll..." He tried to pinch himself, to see if he was dreaming, but his hands were not there but instead neat vulpix paws he held up and he could not pinch himself. Suddenly, it struck him like a jolteon's thunderbolt "I've become a vulpix!" he realised. Vulpix walked over to William the Vulpix and smiled a charming, vulpix smile "Vull...Vulpix!" Yes... it worked! Vulpix cried. What worked? William the Vulpix exclaimed, shocked that he could understand what vulpix was saying. Transform other technique she replied in a soothing voice. You see, I helped you by transforming myself into a human so I could carry you to the pokemon centre for help. So, In return, I transformed you into a vulpix so we could play all night with me. But...I can't... William the vulpix started uttering but then something changed in him ...Yes, lets go play! he exclaimed and started playing with her.
The vulpix ghost shook her head. Now William was a vulpix and a human. Her curl had done its work. She knew that the vulpix within William had been unleashed. William for the rest of his life wouldn't be human. He would be a vulpix or a human vulpix but not a "pure" human. The slow transformation of his mind and soul had been completed by the very creature she wished him to take of.
Ahh... Chapter 3 done. I'm vulpix crazee, I'm vulpix mad... Oh? Why was i saying that??? OH NO!!! I'VE BECOME OBCESSED WITH VULPIX!! Help!!! What? HEY, I LOVE BEING OBCESSED WITH VULPIX!!! YEAH, VULPIX IS THE GREATEST!!!!
One last thing...
Who thinks I should change my name to Electric Vulpix?
