Chapter two: Background
Shelly was up bright and early the next morning, which means sometime after ten. Salamander was asleep on the floor in a tight ball. "That has to be a fire violation for a wooden house." She said aloud to the sleeping pokemon while she was getting ready for a shower. Salamander woke up a bit peeved at that comment and nipped at Shelly's feet. "Okay I get it. I am sorry for that." She giggled.
When she finally got down the stairs she saw a plate of eggs for her and her pokemon. "Nice to see that you learned why you sprint in the house. If you smashed into the fridge again, you would pay for the new." Janice joked, "Soon you will be out of my hair for about ten years."
"What makes you say that mom?" she questioned.
"If you become the greatest pokemon trainer in less time and I will give more respect than I took you for." Janice had replied
"You're on!"
After a goodbye from her mother and Misty, the only ones that she was closest to in the town, she started going toward Vermillion City. She had walked for about an hour before she let out salamander and talked to her. "Do you know anything else besides other pokemon, how to fight them, me, and Cerulean?" The vermillion creature nodded. "What is it?" The charmander stopped and squatted on the ground. "What are you up to?"
Shelly walked over to salamander to see it get up. When it walked to her she was shocked at what she saw on the ground. The charmander had put "I'm literate." She then stared at salamander in disbelief. Then a thought popped into her head. "Would you like to learn to speak like humans?" Salamander nodded vigorously.
"Okay then first you will start with… hey, what's that?" she said off topic. She saw a red glint on the ground to her left and started sprinting over with salamander desperately trying to catch up. Shelly scooped it up, tripped, hit her head on a tree, and went unconscious in the woods nearby with object she picked up. It shined a bright red and the faded while Shelly gripped it.
While unconscious, Shelly relived a treasured memory of hers. She was six and was allowed to stay out later than she normally could. While out there by herself, a small, purple, floating orb approached her.
"I ask if you would like to play tag?" said a gentle and kind voice from the orb. Being six, she thought it was a playful fairy from a fairy tale. During that night was the most fun had that year. After about two hours, Janice started calling for Shelly. "Looks like our play time has ended." The orb said disappointedly.
"You won't come and meet mommy?" the six year old replied.
"No. But tonight was fun and so when you are older I shall return again." The orb then said before flying toward the night sky.
"HOLY DAMMIT THAT HURTS!" Shelly screeched as salamander had scratched her on the face. It had only been an hour after she tripped. She then remembered about the object she picked up. Shelly opened her hand to find a clear stone. "Huh. I was pretty sure this was red when I picked it up." She tossed it as far as she could and then spotted a yellow, well-groomed tail. She yanked it. "OWWW!" After she yanked it she felt a pain where her tailbone ended and looked behind her to see what caused it.
When she looked, her jaw dropped. The yellow tail was now her tail, along with several others. "Okay. This is strange." Then she thought of something. Shelly grabbed her hair and looked at it in awe. It now went down to her waist and was as yellow as the tail. "This is definitely strange." She thought while her hand slid up the side of her head. Then she noticed something missing. "WHERE ARE MY EARS?!" She had screeched loudly. She then found them on the top of her head, but they were now dog-like.
She got up and found herself unbalanced and uncomfortable. She looked at her body now. She had gotten taller, curvier, and the most noticeable of all, breasts, about 30 C cup. Also her clothes were now very tight against her body. "Now this has gone into extremely creepy." Shelly walked back to Cerulean, but stood outside main city limits. She then wrote a note. "Go to my mother hand this note to her," She then handed salamander a letter, "wait for her to read it and get the stuff on the letter. Then lead her back here." Salamander nodded and went off.
Thirty minutes later Shelly spotted her vermillion charmander and Janice. "So this is where Shelly is?" when salamander stopped at the edge of town. She nodded. Janice started calling for Shelly.
"I'm right here mom." Shelly spoke calmly. "Do you have what I asked for?"
"Yeah but why do you need it?" Janice questioned.
"You'll see at the house but for now just give it," Shelly ordered. Janice tossed a bag toward the bush Shelly was in. Shelly emerged wearing a hooded cloak showing only her face. "Well let's go."
"By the way, Misty is at the house. She is probably still there because she saw salamander first." Janice said sheepishly.
"No problem. She should see and hear this too."
The trio return to the house to see Misty eagerly wanting to here what was up with the letter salamander had then noticed Shelly wearing a cloak. When they got inside, Shelly took off the cloak and got the same responses she gave herself. When things cooled down, Misty started complimenting Shelly.
"You're actually very pretty for a fourteen year old. I mean you have all of those pretty tails, long golden hair, those cute ears, and big breasts." Misty said admiringly.
"The more I am listening to you, the more I think you are either gay or bi. And what about the guy you have a crush on, Ash." Shelly retorted.
"You know, I actually think I might be going bi." She said flirtingly. This caused Shelly to jump back a bit and Janice to grab frying pan ready to strike if she comes on to Shelly. "I am just kidding." She said giggling.
Janice stepped up and spoke,"Well now that is over with, I have something to tell you Shelly about your father."
This caught Shelly attention quickly, "What about him?"
"Well, he is a wild pokemon."
"Okaaaaaaay, explain this to me." Both Shelly and Misty said.
"Well I used to work for team Rocket, but it just didn't go with me for after six years. So I asked Giovanni to quit. He actually said yes and many others agreed with him. But the ones who didn't agree that I should be let go Scot-free got aggressive. They kidnapped me, drugged me, tied me up, sprayed me with pokepheromones, and left me to the wild pokemon outside of Saffron City. They got into a fight over who got me, and the winner was a Ninetails that had a cross-shaped scar on its left eyelid. After a few hours, the pheromones wore off, the ninetails then cut my ropes dragged me into town and ran off. After a month I realized I was pregnant and decided to go through with it. Eight months after that you were born." Janice said this in about several minutes and took a deep breath, "Any questions?"
Misty spoke up, "What did you do for Rocket?"
"I was the accountant."
Shelly was in deep thought about the story. "That would explain my crimson hair and tail." She thought. "But why did I look ten for four years, suddenly gain the features of a ninetails, and grow that fast mom?" she replied.
"I think it is because when you were ten, you reached the height of the average vulpix forced to stand on its hind legs. Thus you could grow no more. The features and growth spurt must have been caused by the object you picked up. It was most likely a fire stone that someone lost or threw away. When you gripped it tightly, you activated its powers and caused you to evolve." Janice explained, clearly of thinking this over earlier.
"I'd say that's logical." Shelly spoke out.
"Yeah, I agree." Misty commented. "Any ideas on what we should do?"
"I think you should contact that famous professor in Pallet town to see what he thinks. I mean, you are the first half pokemon creature." Janice suggested.
"I will tell him, but if he wants to dissect me, I'm bolting out of there" Shelly stated. "As soon as you buy me clothes that fit so I don't get perverted stares from people I pass by."
"'Kay." Janice replied before grabbing her purse and shooting out the door.
"In the mean time, didn't I promise to teach you to speak the human language?" Shelly said, turning to salamander.
"Char charmander." The pokemon said to her trainer enthusiastically.
