Different From The Rest Chpt 2
A/N:Hey everyone! Its me again. Im not going to lie, im really enjoying writing this, thats why the chapters for this may seem a little longer than the others. Im not saying I don't like my other fics but this i think is one of my better idea's. As always thank you very much for reading and a review and favourite is greatly appreciated ,bye!
I awoke the next morning, slowly stirring back into consciousness. I sighed deeply and stretched and moved to get up but I could feel a small lump on my chest, pulsating slightly. I looked down and saw Ralts was lying there, sprawled out over my stomach, her little chest rising and deflating in rhythm with mine. I smiled at how peaceful she looked. She herself began to wake, could probably sense me staring at her in her sleep. She got up onto her knees and started to rub her eyes, she then looked up at me and froze, probably out of embarrassment.
"Morning" I said in a happy tone.
I was rewarded with a smile and a light blush that appeared on her cheeks. Ralts climbed off my chest and onto the floor, allowing me to get up off my back. She probably couldn't sleep with everything that had just happened and needed someone to cuddle with. To be honest, this was all a little strange to me as well, I would never have expected to wake up and have a Pokémon on top of me, let alone in my house. It made me feel... Happy, like the dream that was wiped away years ago is slowly beginning to rebuild itself. I thought about it for a little bit, it is true that I was too old to receive a Pokémon from a professor but I could now technically start my journey now that Ralts is with me. That was the one thing that was holding me back from going on one, that because I live in the city, I wouldn't be able to find a Pokémon that would be willing to come with me. The thought of all this excited me very much, I looked down at her as she seemed to be looking up at me expectantly. I wanted to ask her the question but a more serious thought entered my mind. I should probably take her to the Pokémon center and get her checked out before anything else. I knelt down on the floor beside her.
"Hey um... I have an idea" Ralts appeared to get closer, inquisitive of what I was going to say. "I think we should go to the Pokémon center and just go for a little check up" She immediately backed away, not liking the sound of that at all. "j-just a little one, I promise! I just want to make sure if you're ok."
Ralts appeared to contemplate it, walking closer to me and placing her hands on mine.
"Don't worry, I'll be there all the way, I wont leave you"
Once again her expression lit up and nodded. A wave of relief washed over me, I could finally find out what they actually did to her.
"Great! Well lets get some breakfast first then we'll get going"
I made myself a bowl of cereal like I usually do and I unsurprisingly didn't have any Pokémon food for Ralts, but I didn't want to give her nothing. I managed to make her a few slices of toast and told her we would get some proper food today. She nodded, happy to even be getting something to eat.
After we finished eating and I had gotten changed, we set off to the nearest Pokémon center and arrived there relatively quickly, it was quiet as it was the weekend. We went inside which was my first time ever being in a Pokémon center and saw Nurse Joy standing at the front desk. We approached her.
"Hello there! And welcome to the Pokémon center, how can I help you?"
"Hi, I was wondering if you could take a look at Ralts here for me and make sure she's ok?
"Of course, what's the matter?"
"I rescued her from Team Plasma, I want to make sure they didn't do anything to significant to her"
Nurse Joy's expression faltered and turned into a frown "Oh, I see, well I'll do my best for Ralts. Lets go" She beckoned Ralts and I to follow her down the corridor which we did. We stopped at one of the examination rooms and went inside. Inside there was a large medical bed and lots of monitors around to observe the conditions of the Pokémon. I lifted Ralts onto the bed and let Nurse Joy take it from there. She instructed Ralts to lie back and still while the bed scanned her. A few minutes later the scan was completed and Nurse Joy called me over
"Is anything wrong?" I asked worriedly
"Her vitals look normal to me" I sighed deeply in relief
"...But her genome is all wrong, what exactly did Team Plasma do to her?"
I was reluctant to say "She was.. Genetically altered with Human DNA..."
The look of horror and shock on Nurse Joy's face was evident "Will she be ok?" I asked
"I presume so, but I think you'll start seeing some drastic changes in her if she evolves" Nurse Joy said ominously "Also, you don't have a Pokéball for her do you?" I shook my head.
Nurse Joy lifted up a tray with Pokéballs on it from underneath her desk. "You should take Ralts wherever you go, to make sure nothing bad happens, and she likes you a lot"
I lifted one of the empty balls and turned around slowly until I was in front of Ralts. I bent my knees a little until we were eye level with each other. I was extremely nervous, this would be my first ever Pokémon.
"D-Do you want to stay with me Ralts?" I said shakily
She nodded furiously and without further hesitation, tapped her head on the Pokéball, turning her into a beam of red energy and returning into the ball. She didn't struggle and allowed herself to be caught instantly. I stood up and held the ball to my forehead, a tear slowly running down my cheek. Ralts then reappeared moments later and I let her climb up me to sit on my shoulder. I turned around to Nurse Joy.
"Thank you very much for helping us out Nurse Joy" I did a little bow and Ralts copied me.
"Of course, anytime. Now if anything happens you come back straight away ok?" She asked, we both nodded and made our way out of the Pokémon center and back out onto the street, it had gotten a lot busier while we were inside.
"Ok, well how about we go get you some food and head back home, how does tha-" I was cut off by a voice shouting at us from my side, I turned around to look who it was.
"There it is! Get them!"
...They were grunts from Team Plasma.
"Oh shit! Come on let's get out of here!" I said as I was about to start running
At that moment, Ralts jumped off of my shoulder and stood in front of them, completely unfazed by them. At that point the two grunts threw out their Pokémon, a Trubbish and a Sandile. I was really scared now, it wa to start off and Ralts' psychic attacks would be ineffective against Sandile who is a dark type. But amazingly, she continued to stand fast and keep in their way. I got behind Ralts.
"Are you sure you sure you want to fight these guy's?" I said worriedly
I was replied with an adamant nod almost instantly, she looked determined and fired up. Now obviously I had never been in a battle before but I had seen enough league battles on TV to know how they work. I pulled out the Pokédex that Nurse Joy gave me before I left and pointed it at Ralts, it was able to tell me the moves she could use which were only Teleport and Psychic as she hadn't evolved yet and I imagined that she wouldn't evolve for a while.
"Right..." I took a deep breath "Let's do this"
At that moment, the Trubbish and Sandile had been ordered to attack
"Trubbish use Sludge Bomb!" said one grunt
"Sandile, Crunch!" shouted another
Both Pokémon carried out their attacks and were hurtling towards Ralts alarmingly fast, I didn't expect there to be this much pressure. I was stuttering my words
"R-Ralts, use-" I didn't get to finish my command
Before I knew it, Ralts had already lept into the air, dodging the Sludge Bomb from the Trubbish and then holding her leg out and kicking Sandile when she came back down, the crocodile went flying. I thought Pokémon were supposed to attack on their trainers command and not on their own accord. Also, that kick seemed way too powerful for a small Pokémon. At that moment, when the Team Plasma Pokémon started to rush her again, a shroud of blue light enveloped Ralts and her form began to change. I had seen this happen before in battles, she was evolving! I was amazed at how she had been able to evolve so fast, it must be the human DNA accelerating her growth. In a few moments, the evolution was completed and sprung forth a Kirlia but she didn't look like a normal Kirlia. Her chest had two round lumps protruding underneath her dress, her hip and waist bones seemed larger in proportion to the rest of her body and her arms and especially her legs and become thicker and not just thin sticks anymore. All of this resembled... A human female. That was definitely the DNA taking effect. Even after just witnessing an evolution, the attacking Pokémon continued to rush, a devilish grin appeared on Kirlia's face. In an instant she teleported behind the Trubbish and Sandile, using Psychic on the Trubbish to take it out of the equation, she slammed it into a wall, knocking it out cold. Speaking of cold, she then proceeded to cover her forearm in ice and swing it at Sandile, it was ice punch! Which once again sent Sandile flying, this time making it faint.
The Team Plasma grunts could only stare on in defeat as their Pokémon returned to their Pokéball's, Then one piped up
"Y-You've not heard the last of us!" He shouted
"Yeah what he said asshole!" the other followed
They fled, diving into a dark alley and disappearing from sight. Kirlia turned and looked at me with a big smile on her face, my mouth was still agape from seeing what just happened. I went to kneel down to the floor but I noticed that even for a Kirlia, she was a lot taller than what a Kirlia should be.
"W-Wow Kirlia! That was amazing, you didn't even need my help!" I praised her
I expected her to nod in reply, but as today would have I, I had another surprise coming my way.
"Thank you so much!"... Kirlia replied
She was... Talking
