Hey, I've changed my name to Granite Vulpix, if you haven't noticed! I'm working slow at the moment on 18 DIFFERENT ideas for fics, and another set of jokes! I'm at the moment starting to work on a fic which i'll call "Legend Of The Male Kangaskhan". Watch out for it, ok? Ok, on to the next chapter...


Chapter 4: New Feelings (And Changes) Within William

For the whole entire night, William the vulpix played with his pokemon, vulpix. I cannot describe the whole night to you, but Umbreon joined in, fading into the shadows, then leaping from the shadows, to the surprise and delight of the two vulpix. After what seemed like an eturnity, the sky lightened in preparation of the dawn approuching. William the vulpix sat, content, on the bed with Vulpix. William was in a strange mood. When Vulpix tried to transform William back to his oridginal human form, William resisted with all his strength. Vulpix wondered why he was resisting the transformation back to his own self. Little did she know that in a manner of seconds she would know why.

The ghost of the mother vulpix could not stand it any more. She had to tell her offspring and William about everything. She appeared in front of them, gulped and started telling everything.

Vulpix gasped as an eerie thing started appearing from nowhere. William looked up as she gasped. Umbreon stood aggressively, ready the attack the thing. The thing became a cloudlike mist, then took on a vulpix shape. A moments later, a glostly vulpix had appeared. It started to speak "Oh my child...why did you do that?" "Do what?" Vulpix replied. The ghost continued talking "Why did you turn William into a vulpix? Do you realised what you have done?" "What have I done?" Vulpix asked. The ghost shook its head slowly "I don't know how to say this...When you turned William into a vulpix, you changed not only his body, but his mind and soul. It is not all your fault. He now wants to be a vulpix, which he feels that he was originally. It's only a matter of time until his basic form becomes that of a male vulpix and his basic human form becomes only a form he is able to be." Vulpix was shocked and stunned. She'd never thought her transform other technique was THAT powerful. The ghost seemed to read her mind "No, it not because of that, its because...of the curl he has. A young vulpix was captured by Team Rocket and had experiments done on her. Because of those experiments, she gained some awesome powers. She could transform in any pokemon or human and with a single touch her likeness could be transferred into other creatures perminately. She had a baby while escaping from Team Rocket but was killed by a dugtrio after. William came accross the young vulpix's body, cut the curl off and buried her. Her baby end up inheriting greater powers. Everytime William touched the curl, he became more like a vulpix and less a human. That is the story...Now I must tell you one more thing before I must go" Vulpix jaw dropped as she listened to all the ghost had said, "What's that" she asked curiously. "The young vulpix in my story was me when I was alive...and...the baby.........was...you!"

Vulpix gasped in amazement. Her trainer not her father, but becoming more a vulpix every day, because of her real mother. William heard everything, but disagreed about it "I always been a vulpix. A vulpix in a human's body. My life is a downright lie. I determined to became what I'm really am, a male vulpix!" The vulpix ghost chuckled "Let me show you everything, especially about who you really are and about me." And with that, the ghost passed into William's body. William saw in his mind's eye all about himself from the time he first found the dead vulpix. He also saw who the ghost vulpix. After seeing all this, William broke down and began sobbing. "Nooo...it..it can't...be!!" The ghost reappeared from William's body "William, soon you will be a vulpix, a true vulpix. But you must never forget who you were. Remember this always." William nodded silently. "Now my baby, I must go. I'm sorry, but one day I shall see you again. Farewell" With that, the ghost vanished. William hugged Vulpix. "One day, I will be a vulpix, like you. But you'll help me remember who I was, would you? "Vull...Vulpix" Vulpix replied, nodding her head. "Thank you, vulpix. You are a true friend." exclaimed William as he scratched behind Vulpix's ears affectionively.

Willam and Vulpix left The Inner Fire and headed on the road towards thier next destination. After a uneventual day, William and his pokemon camped in a clearing. After Vulpix lit a fire, William got out a mirror and inspected himself. It took only a glance told him that the change had begun. His hair had changed colour from brown to red and his nose was protuding slightly more than normal and his nose was starting to darken. His originally blue eyes had become a striking emerald green and were less human looking. As he stared at his reflection, he could see the vulpix within him pushing it's way out. He was pulled from the mirror by the sight of vulpix sitting by the fire, enjoying the heat of the blaze. "What beautiful fur she has..." William wondered as he looked at vulpix. His mind started wandering and after a while he fell asleep in front of the fire, with Vulpix sleeping beside him.

He was awakened by the sound of pidgeys chirping happily and to the sound of eager youngsters conducting battles with each other. William yawned and got up to make some breakfast. Usually, he would of made some pancakes or cooked some toast over the fire, but today he felt a strong desire for meat, which he gave in, and had bacon and eggs for breakfast. He shared his meal out with Vulpix, who enjoyed it greatly. After finishing his breakfast, William and his vulpix laid in front of the fire, basking in the heat coming from the fire. He was so enjoying the fire, he didn't noticed that his shoes were so close to the fire they had caught alight. Well, not until Umbreon did and bit William's leg to get his attention. William winced as Umbreon bit thought his pants, punchering his skin. He nearly yelped in pain, then got up to see if his leg was all right. And that's when he noticed his footwear was on fire and had nearly burnt off. Instictively, William started jumping about, trying to put out his burning footwear, until he noticed something. His skin wasn't burning. In fact, he felt no pain in his feet, even thought firstly, he had a pair of flaming shoes on and lastly he skin had not changed physically. Instead his feet felt toasty warm and showed no signs of burns.

But, as he looked down at his feet, his heart skipped a beat. Red fur was growing from them!
