Chapter 7 New Life
Although I'm pretty sure that there have been sevral stories that involve a trainer becoming a pokemon, Nod-Flareon had the first story of that happening I ever saw, and I'd like to thank him for giving me the idea.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...Jenna? are you ok?" came a voice, it sounded like Andrew but something was different...it was perfectly clear. It's like my hearing was improved. I suddenly came to realise my senses were stronger, What happened, all I remember was being on a table, having some injection...rembering that worried me. That, and the last words I heard before blacking out "Don't go changing on me..." was what I heard Andrew say. Everything came clear and I realised I felt different, like I had shrunk. "Jenna?" came Andrew's voice again, my eyes loosened but I quickly shut them tight. "Jenna, please don't be afraid" I felt a wet nose touch my forehead.
"Andrew, if I open my eyes will I see what I think I'll see?" I asked, still feeling scared
"I think you will, but please, have courage" I opened my eyes and saw that I was looking face to face with a flareon...a silver eyed flareon. I looked down and wasn't surprised at what i saw. Paws...my hands had been replaced by paws. I also noticed that my sight was crystal clear.
"Can you stand?" Andrew asked me. I nodded, although my new body felt a little strange I could tell I already knew how to control it. I stood up on the bed I was on and tried walking around. "You feeling ok? theres a mirror over there if you want to see yourself"
"Thank you Andrew, what did they do to you?" I had to ask about his shining silver eyes
"Me? they tried fusing me with a second type, steel I believe, they said it failed or something"
"Where's the others?"
"They're right over there, but they're sleeping right now" I leapt down from the bed and went to the mirror to see my new self, I still could hardly believe that it was me in the reflection. I looked like a normal flareon, except that my eyes were a sky blue. I looked at my newly found tail and tried moving it. I smiled,being a flareon isn't so bad, I may no longer have the use of my hands but i didn't mind.To be honest, I was a childhood wish of mine to become a flareon, I guess I now have it. I looked over at the others, Evan was sleeping on a chair with the brothers. I must have been out for a while. The gem on Jared's forehead gave a flash and he woke up. he yawned and stretched out. He then looked at me as if not knowing what to say, but soon smiled.
"So how's it feel?" he asked
"...New" was all I could think of to say
"you don't seem too upset..."
"You expected me to?"
"well I didn't know how you were gonna take it"
"Actually...I could get use to this...I'm seeing the world in an entirely new view"
"Really?" Andrew asked me, Jared looked over to see his brother was awake.
"Andrew, you didn't stay up all night watching over Jenna did you?" He asked him
"Well, good morning to you, and no, I fell asleep shortly afer you guys did. I just heard Jenna waking up and went to check on her"
"Whatever you say man" he looked around and saw a window sill, he jumped up on it
"What's he doing?" I asked Andrew
"Oh, he likes to watch the sunrise, ever since he woke up early one morning and saw it, he loved the sight of it" he explaned
"He makes a perfect espeon then"
"Hmm...clouds" Jared mumbled, he closed his eyes and his jewel started shining "...I thought so"
"What wrong Jared?" Andrew asked
"Deep clouds are moving in...a heavy storm will be upon us by noon, I can sense it"
"Espeons have been known to be able to predict weather patterns, he's probably right" I said
"Not heavy enough to damage anything, but heavy enough to stop us."
"Wha's everyone talkin 'bout?" I heard Greg say as he picked himself up
"Morning Greg!" I said
"You seem pretty happy for someone who just had their life dramaticly altered" He said, yawning
"Don't be so negative, it's not so bad" It went on for the other brothers too. I also learned that i was put under Evan's care. My morning was spent getting used to my new body. Andrew even showed me how to use ember. He's so sweet...and kinda cute...anyway! as Jared predicted it was starting to rain at about ten. the docks were aperently closed so we stayed at the center until it would end. we were lounging around as it started when some kid with a red shirt came. he asked something to the two other trainers that were stranded here. he left them both and went to Evan
"Hey man, you have any fire pokemon? I love fire pokemon!" he said, Evan looked a little confused
"Err...yeah, I have one...two flareons." he looked over at me then saw Andrew scratching himself.
"oh wow! you see fire types are rare on this island.but i love them all but...flareons are my favorite!" he grabbed Andrew and hugged him. Andrew just started shifting his eye's not knowing what to do. he then put down Andrew and went to Evan "Hey thanks for showing me them. here let me give you this as thanks" he then reached in his bag and pulled out a TM which he gave to Evan "well i gotta get home before the storm gets worse" he then left the center.
"That was incredibly weird.." Andrew said,
"well at least he gave us a TM" i said
"Whats number is it?" Andrew asked, I was surprised he knew what a TM is
"It's...TM 35...no surprise there" Evan said
"Whats 35?"
"Flamethrower,"
"Ah, well are you gonna use it?" Evan looked unsure at both of us, "If you're gonna use it, you should use it on Jenna"
"What are you saying?" I asked, does he think i'm weaker than him?!
"All I'm saying is you should have it...I already have a few tricks in my mane"
"Like what?" Evan asked
"Well I was thinking up a new move and I wanted to see if I could pull it off later" Evan understood and pulled out his TM case. he attached the wire to my forehead
"You ready Jenna?" I nodded, "Machine set...uploading move now" I began to feel a tingle in my head and in a few seconds i suddenly knew how to use flamethrower. The storm started to get worse and showed no signs of clearing. Andrew was lying around looking bored when JP snuck up on him and tugged on his ear and like they do alot, Andrew soon playfull nipped at him, and soon they were playing chasing eachother around in a game of tag. Normally this looked ridiculous...but watching them run around made me want to now, I soon realised the flareon in me was telling me to join. I suddenly felt something hit me
"You're it!" Gred shouted running away, I'm it? I can't be it! I got up and chased them around and started playing too. I don't know why I thought this was silly, it was fun!. the storm was at it's heaviest now, it was around seven when the lightning came in. I saw Kevin heading for the door of the center.
"where are you going?" Evan asked
"I'm just gonna go relax in the rain for a while" Kevin said
"Ok... and you?" he asked, noticing Jean-Paul was following
"There's lightning right now, looks inviting to me, I wanna see if i could catch a bolt or two" they left to go outside.
"Hey Andrew, is it alright if I groom you?" Evan asked, so he was the one Evan picked. he took Andrew and his grooming kit into the grooming room of the center.I was feeling a little bored and lazily hanging around, I still couldn't believe my luck, I didn't let it show, but I don't think I could have asked for anything better. I was lost in my thoughts when I heard a door open, Andrew was done and came looking groomed. Evan must have given him a dry poffin because when he came out...he was looking very handsome
"Hey Jenna...you want a turn?" Evan asked me. being groomed sound like it would feel good. I nodded and followed him to the gooming room
"So Andrews going to be you're show pokemon huh?" I asked evan as he brushed my fur
"What makes you think that?" he asked me
"Well when you were done grooming him, he looked...like his condition increased"
"Your right actually. he coopertated the best when grooming, and he has good moves for a beauty show"
"Have you even told him yet?"
"Well not yet...but i will soon" he brushed me for a while longer. When he finished I jumped down from the table and went to the main area and went to see Andrew.
"Wow Jenna, you look really...nice" he said to me. For some reason him saying this made me blush lightly
"um..thanks you do to...Evan does a good job too..." I don't know why...but I just started gazing into his eyes...his silver eyes, he was too. Something was overcoming me, the feeling wasn't unpleasent though...how long we stared into eachothers eyes i don't know. all I know is that we were stopped by hearing the sound of laughter. We looked to see Jean-Paul coming into the building emiting steam and looking quite happy, he was followed by Kevin.
"Have fun out there?" Jared asked him.
"Catching bolts of lightning is very fun indeed" he said. Evan came into the room chuckling at the sight of a steamed jolteon
"Guys it's time for the curfew to set in, we might as well go to sleep." he said
"The storm has calmed down...it will be gone by tommorow" Jared said, we Evan went on a couch to sleep and the brothers and I found a place to sleep, I found mine next to Andrew. as the lights dimmed we tried to get sleep
"Welcome to your new life" Andrew whispered to me as we fell asleep. It's strange, I've only been a pokemon for a day...yet it feels like I've been one my whole life. Regardless, I think I'm going to like it
