Chapter 2
Kai awoke groggily from his sleep. Last thing he remembered...were those Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu.
Everything came flooding back to him. How they surrounded him, that baby Pikachu, and how it stared at him so intensely. Kai shook his head. He dreamt it all...yeah...a dream.
Kai stood up. He was still in the forest but it was now near sunset. No mouse Pokemon. But how long had he been out for? Will the guys have tried to look for him? Would they even be worried bout him? Everything looked normal, but he didn't quite feel totally like himself. Everything looked taller and the ground was much much closer than usual.
Did he shrink?!
He felt as though he was scrammed inside a small tight box. His arms and legs felt like they had been chopped short. He stretched them out, to check if they were as small as they felt.
WTF!
He had tiny fingers, small hands and miniature arms, covered with YELLOW FUR?
Kai parted them and looked down. A yellow-furred belly and petit yellow-furred hind paws.
What the HELL is going on?
Kai's new hands shot to his head. His old ears had vanished, replaced by longer yellow and very dark blue furred (the original'sare yellow and black) ears at the top of its head.
He feared the worst and glanced behind. A lightening shaped tail, covered with yellow and very dark blue fur.
No...it can't be...it just can't...
But what other logical explanation?
His heart sank like a stone. A Pikachu...he was now a god-damned Pikachu...
Fuck...
Panic rocked his gut. How the hell did he manage to become a frigging Pikachu anyway?
Maybe that dream...wasn't a dream after all.
The once human boy glanced at his surroundings.
"Some Christmas present" he muttered to himself darkly, "I get zapped by a Raichu...and now this? What's next, I run into some psycho Rhydon or something?" he added sarcastically.
He quickly came to realise that, although he heard perfect English from himself, he heard a Pikachu talking quietly behind his words. No doubt it was him, as he was the only Pikachu in the vicinity.
Kai had to find help quickly, because no way in hell will he let this event go unnoticed. He slowly proceeded through the reforest; his bare hind paws gently padding on the cold grass beneath them. His world seemed way more interesting, as he was not his usual 5'9 height, but now a yellow 1'4 and 13lb mouse Pokemon. He felt more vulnerable in this state. Hey, at least in his normal body he could kick and throw a good punch or two.
"You seem lost" a male's voice rang out from what seemed like nowhere, echoing through the trees.
Kai spun round, he felt his ears lower and the tips touched his back.
"Who's there?" he said lowly, his short yellow fur standing on end a little.
A curled-at-the-end white long tail swished from a branch slowly in a near-by tree like the pendulum on a grandfather clock. Kai looked up. There sat a young male Persian, its gaze fixed upon Kai's small body.
"What you want?" Kai retorted rather rudely.
"Tisk tisk, you don't need to be so rude, little one" the cat answered.
'How dare he call me little! I've never been called little in my life, even as a child!' Kai thought angrily.
"I'm...not...little" said Kai through gritted pointed teeth.
The Persian jumped gracefully from its branch and landed majestically and soundlessly on the forest floor.
"You don't know royalty when you speak to it? They call me Doku, Prince Doku" (a/n Doku is pronounced as it is)
Kai scoffed. This pompous fur-bag? Royalty?
"Well...your majesty" he said, stressing 'your majesty' and mockingly bowed, "I'll be on my way so you can ruin everybody else's miserable lives"
Before Kai could turn round and leave, Doku stealthily paced the circumference of am imaginary circle round Kai, stopping him leaving.
"I don't like your attitude Mousy" the Persian hissed at him while he still paced.
"Deal with it, now piss off Hairball Boy" Kai growled back at him.
Doku stopped pacing and bared his large teeth, his creamy fur stood on end, his ears flicked back, his pupils went to paper-thin slits and his forepaw's claws appeared.
"I'll get you!" he snarled and jumped forward, his jaws open and claws fully extended and aimed for Kai's head.
Instinct switched on inside Kai's brain. He flipped backward, and so Doku got a mouthful of hard earth. As Doku's muzzle made contact with the forest floor, Kai bounded forward and jumped onto the Persian's head and, using it like a trampoline, he bounced clear over the Prince. He landed on four paws then ran off on two. Doku recovered quickly, sprang back on his paws and raced after the mouse Pokemon.
"Get back here! You cowardly, good-for-nothing, flea-ridden vermin!" yelled out Doku.
Those insults made Kai hit the brakes and turn round. He stood his ground as the Prince ran at him. His brain screamed at him to run and what a fool he was, facing off with the Pokemon Prince, who must have a better experience of battling than he possessed. But his body knew what to do...
Kai felt a strange power rise from deep within himself, giving him strength he never knew he had. His cheeks started to feel hot and started to tingle. He acted without the aid of his brain.
"Piikaaa...CHUUUUU!" he yelled out.
Electric blue electricity shot from his body in a large bolt of lightening toward the Prince. The Persian screeched to a halt but before he could get away, the electricity shocked his whole body. It screamed out in pain as it got hit. When the electricity ran out, the Prince, now blackened, ran in the opposite direction with his tail between his legs.
Kai would feel his pride return as he sneered at the retreating form that was the Prince. Even as a Pokemon, he kicked ass.
He raised his little hands and massaged his cheeks. They let out a spark of blue electricity as he first touched them, but they still felt warm and still tingled a bit. Feeling more confident, Kai set off into the looming shadows that was the forest.
He must've walked for hours, because Kai was starting to lose hope that he would find help at all, where it be a Pokemon or human. His hind paws were aching of the constant walking. He stopped and sat on a near-by rock to rest.
'Why me?' he thought to himself sadly 'If there is a God, he must hate me'
He looked down at his yellow-furred hands.
'What if I end up like this forever? What if I can't find the guys? What if I get killed out here? And do I really deserve this?'
He sighed to himself, and felt his ears lower onto his back again.
'I can't live like this...'
He jumped down from the rock he sat upon and started walking again.
'There's gotta be someone round here, this forests full of Pokemon, surely I'll be able to find one that can help me'
The sound of running water met Kai's ears, to this he felt more confident. Rivers always lead to the ocean right? So he could get outta this place. Also...his throat was parched, so he could fill up there. He trusted his improved hearing and it rewarded him, with the sight of a crystal-clear flowing river, its surface made it look like it was filled with diamonds. He walked over to the edge and peered over.
There was a school of Remoraid swimming against the slow flow of the river, their fins catching the dim light. And there was a Pikachu staring back at him. He expected this, but he was startled to how he looked. Sure, anyone could say that he was a Pikachu, but he had to be the most extraordinary Pikachu one would ever encounter.
'So this is what I look like...maybe forever'
He looked like the Mouse Pokemon but he had bright amethyst eyes instead of the deep red, the black on his ears were replaced with the colour of dark navy blue, just like the hair at the back of his head when he was human, he had a large tuft of hair on his forehead, exactly the same as his original bangs; dark slate grey and spiky, he had slightly larger canines than a regular Pikachu and his cheeks still bore the 2 royal blue shark-fin markings rather than the little red round cheeks of any other Pikachu. He turned around and stared once more at his reflection. The brown part of his tail was the dark blue that matched the blue of his ears, as well as the 2 dark blue stripes on his back, which replaced the brown.
He leaned forward and the cool water touched his little black nose. He hesitated for a moment, then stuck out his little pink tongue and lapped up the cool substance, hydrating his sandpaper dry throat. The stuff was bliss.
As Kai took his fill, another Pokemon watched him through the leaves of a near-by bush.
'That's him' it thought.
As Kai leaned back, his sensitive ears picked up the sound of rustling leaves of a bush. He whipped his head round to stare at the source of the sound.
"Show yourself," he said roughly.
The Pokemon hesitated for a moment and then revealed itself. Kai's mouth dropped open.
It was a Pikachu, just like him. This one, however, wore a pretty white flower behind one of its ears and it had slightly longer eyelashes.
A female.
She giggled gently as she watched him.
'Great. Even as a Pokemon, I'm a woman magnet' he grumbled to himself.
The she Pikachu giggled again.
"Hi" she said, a little shy.
Kai said nothing. To this, she giggled a little more.
"You're the new one right?" she asked, watching him closely.
"Suppose" he said roughly, turning round and stared at his reflection again.
The female walked to his side and looked at hers.
"Rumour has it that you're the one who attacked the Prince," she informed, glancing at Kai's reflection.
"That hair-ball vomiting prick was asking for it" Kai said shortly.
The female went silent. Kai thought he did something or said something wrong. After a long pause, the she Pikachu spoke again.
"You've got pretty eyes," she said quietly.
Kai's mental alarm bells were ringing.
'Compliments like that equals...she likes me' he thought worriedly.
She was drawing closer to him, but he walked a couple of paces away from her. She stopped in confusion.
"Sorry miss, but I'm not a Pikachu," he clarified, raising both hands.
She raised a brow.
"You look like one," she said.
"Yeah but..."
"You sound like one"
"Yeah but..."
"You even smell like one"
"Yeah but…WHAT THE?"
The female chuckled lightly.
"So how can you not be a Pikachu?" she asked, after she had stopped laughing.
Kai sighed. This was starting to annoy him.
"I wasn't born like this. I got transformed into a Pikachu," he explained more.
He turned round to leave but she blocked his way.
"I really really like you" she said, flicking his little nose with her small index finger and winking.
'Jesus...Fucking...Christ' Kai thought frantically.
Kai backed off. This was behaviour he had never experienced, even as a human, no one dared to act like this around him. Maybe several girls did behind his back when he took a trip into the main street of his hometown.
Kai, literally, turned tail and ran for it, the female followed right behind him. Kai glanced behind if she were still following him and, to his dismay, she was but she was running after him on all fours and he was only running on two. Could he do that? He let himself fall forward and found that running with four legs was way easier and faster than two. His training as a human was now greatly paying off, as she was falling behind.
She suddenly screeched to a halt and ran off in the other direction. Kai stopped and turned round to stare at her. Why did she turn the other way so suddenly?
He checked out his surroundings. There was an icy cold feel to the air which didn't relate to the oncoming Christmas at all and...Kai sniffed...It didn't quite smell right either. He advanced with caution. He now entered a large clearing. Something didn't feel right at all, his gut squirmed with slight discomfort. His fur stood on end, making him look more like a hedgehog than a mouse.
From the depths of the black shadowed bushes, a glowing pair of cement grey eyes appeared, from closely by a second...and a third...and a fourth. Then a larger, more dangerous looking pair of blood red eyes appeared among the others. Its eyes narrowed then blended with the shadows, as did the grey eyes.
Kai was not afraid, but he couldn't help but look behind him every so often; it was like someone was watching him. He hopefully wasn't right.
A small black form jumped out of some bushes just beyond Kai and landed soundlessly, growling and baring its small but dangerous teeth. Kai stopped abruptly. So he wasn't just experiencing that feeling for nothing. It moved into the setting sun's fading light and showed itself fully. Kai only recognised this Pokemon as he had seen it in his Pokemon study book; a small black dog with silver skeleton-like armour on its head, back and just above its paws, an orange chest, belly and muzzle with a very short tail.
Kai had heard of these Pokemon in passers-by's tales frequently. Houndour, supposedly the Pokemon wanderers of Hell.
His Pikachu body froze. So other Pokemon must fear this kind as well. 3 others also jumped out of some bushes and cut off his retreat, surrounding him in a tight square.
'This is the bloody second time today!' Kai thought angrily 'Brilliant! Can it possibly get any worse?'
Another but larger shadow pounced from the shadowed bushes and revealed itself also.
'I hate you God' Kai sadly thought to himself.
A Houndoom, bigger than an ordinary one. He bore unmistakable signs of struggle as scars and chips in his silver armour and large deer-like horns, one had been worn down to half its original length.
"So you're the one who beat Doku right?" it growled in a deep voice. (a/n it sounds like Crusher from Beyblade G Revolutions)
"What's it to you?" Kai shot back.
"And the Pidgeot rumours are flying around that you are actually a human" it continued.
Light gentle snowflakes began to fall upon the cold earth and quickly covered it in a white icy sheet of the frozen substance. As the saying goes, the calm before the storm...
From wordless orders, the pack of Dark and Fire type dogs pounced simultaneously onto Kai. His screams echoed around him. The innocent snow was soon tainted with the blood of the Pikachu, the Houndour making sure they caused him the most pain imaginable whilst still keeping him alive.
The Houndour backed off, leaving a bloodied, weak and badly wounded Pikachu to the Houndoom.
Kai opened one eye to stare at the monster of a Pokemon. His blood stained the claws and teeth of the Houndoom.
"It ends here" it muttered and opened its massive jaws, capable of swallowing him whole.
He closed his eyes and braced himself. This is it. He was going to be eaten alive...well...barely. He could smell the putrid breath of the dog Pokemon...he could feel its hot breath near his neck...
"ESPEON! QUICK ATTACK!"
Kai's eyes snapped open. A purple blur zoomed past him and knocked all 5 dogs down. It then jumped in front of him defensively.
"NOW! PSYBEAM ATTACK!"
From the shining ruby-like jewel from its forehead, a multi-coloured beam of energy blasted out and striked the dog Pokemon down again. The black dogs stood up and growled at the newcomer Pokemon but its snarled back at them, its ears back and haunches up. The Houndour and Houndoom knew better to pick a fight with a stronger Pokemon and fled.
Kai's sight was beginning to blur as the purple Pokemon approached him and nuzzled his cheek. A tall shadow passed over his body behind him, to which he turned on his back to look. He couldn't make out anything except a pair of (jade green) eyes. He felt a gentle pair of hands pick him up.
"Oh my god..." the figure whispered quietly.
If Kai had all his strength he knew he possessed, he would of ran 10 miles already or, preferably, shocked this person and the Pokemon to oblivion but to those words, Kai totally passed out.
JeLlYbEaN RuLz: There, finished. Could you please review for me? That would be fantastic.
