Okay here we go. Time to transform some humans into Pokemorphs... where's my TF gun? Aw forget it.
Please take note that I don't really do that many transformation. I'm more into action scenes then I am transformation so I admit this was a little difficult for me to write... hope you enjoy.
Quick note, I'd like to thank foxyjosh for beta reading this. Seriously, Josh, thanks a lot.
Now without farther delay...
Chapter 3: No Longer Human
(Alex's POV)
I opened my eyes, slowly regaining consciousness to find I was in some sort of dark void… Something I found really weird considering the fact that Merissa and I were running back home… Wait…
"Merissa?" I called out into the nothingness, trying to find my friend. Amazingly I heard the sound echoed back to me… yet no answer. "Merissa? Merissa, can you hear me?" I cried out again… Still no answer… well you know they say third time's the charm. "Merissa?!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
"…………Do not be afraid, young one………" an eerie, ghostly whisper suddenly spoke into my ear. I quickly turned around expecting to see someone… or something behind me… but there was nothing but emptiness where ever I looked. "What? Who said that?" I quickly asked, freaked out and frightened. "………you are about to receive a very special gift……A gift many more will receive……" I couldn't believe what I hearing. This can't real… can it?
"W-what… what do you mean?" I asked. I received no answer… only a cold chill run up my spine, followed by a dull pain. The pain started at the base of my spine and seemed to have spread though out my body, intensifying. I fell to my knees and asked the voice why this was happening to me?
"…………the decision on how you use this gift is entirely up to you……" My body began to transform… that's right… my body was actually TRANSFORMING… It started with my feet. I felt them reshape and take on a more feline form as my toes begin to merge leaving only three toes on each foot. The changes didn't stop there, however. I gritted my teeth in pain as I felt claws pushing their way out of my toes. I felt really uncomfortable as an itchy feeling climbed up my legs and continued on to my waist.
"………you and all like you must use your gifts……" I felt some pressure at the base before actually feeling my spine itself getting longer. It felt like a Machoke had managed to grab a hold of my tailbone and began pulling with all its might. Instinctively, my hands grabbed my new appendage and gave it a tug, causing me to yelp in pain. This made me realize that this thing was indeed attached to my body. The changes still didn't stop there as the itchy feeling returned and continued to climb up my body.
"………to decide the fate of this world……" When the itchiness reached my hands I looked at them and watched in amazement as pink pads appeared on the tips of my fingers and in the centers of my two palms. Claws once more pushed their way out of my body, this time coming out of my fingers. At last the feeling came to my face and it turned out to be one of the most painful experiences I'll live through. At first I felt nothing, just a dull tingling sensation which was a nice feeling of relief… until the pain returned, hitting me like a truck. It felt like someone had grabbed onto my nose and ears and began to pull them in opposite directions, streaching my face.
"………the fate of the world hangs by a thread………" The changes finally stopped and pain subsided, leaving nothing more but an unpleasant memory that no amount of therapy will ever make right again. "………will you be the one to save us?" a creature appeared in front of me… I stumbled back in shock. The creature looked like Mew… but in a more human-looking form "……or will you kill us all?" The figure disappeared and in its place was…
(Outside New Bark Forest)
(Main POV)
Jason's small, two door sports car raced down the dirt trail, hitting a speed of at least seventy-five. The Mercenary was in a hurry to complete this contract and move on to a more exciting commission. This must have been the third or fourth easy job he's been on this week alone. At least this one was well paying… He just had to keep telling himself that to keep from ending the contract early, and heading home empty handed.
The road was relatively empty as very few cars or trainers used this route because although it was a direct route to New Bark Town from Goldenrod, many people seemed to avoid this road… this being that the Pokémon in these woods are very strong and volatile. Only experienced trainers, or the brave and foolish dare take this route.
Jason wasn't worried one bit because he had his well trained Flygon with him resting inside its Poké ball. He and that dragon have been through a lot in recent years, but havealways pulled through in the end.
Jason's eyes were glued to road, looking for the target vehicle, when an oncoming truck made a sudden U-turn, blocking the road ahead of Jason. The mercenary quickly slammed the brakes and turned the car to left, the car responded by turning but ended up skidding to a halt just a few inches away from the truck.
"HEY!" Jason called out, honking the car horn. "What the hell's the big idea?" The mercenary shouted taking out a pistol from the glove compartment of his car. "You could've killed me! Or worse, wreaked my car." Jason stepped out of the car, pointing his weapon at the truck he nearly crashed into. The driver of the truck didn't see the pissed off mercenary or his gun and drove off back in the direction it had came in.
"Where the hell do you think you're going? You piece of…" Jason stopped just before he cursed, watching the truck drive off… the back of the truck had a very unusual symbol of a flaming Houndoom biting chains shackled to its legs printed on the door. He quickly, took out some photos of the truck Major Tyron had wanted him to track down. He quickly flipped through the pictures until he found the picture of the rear of the truck with the same symbol on it.
Jason smiled. "Found you." The mercenary grinned getting back into car and racing off after it. As he chased after the truck, Jason pushed a button on his dash board. All the gauges quickly disappeared and were quickly replaced by a small two-way video phone. Jason quickly pressed another button on his steering wheel. Some text appeared on the dash and read "Calling JSF H.Q."
The text suddenly read "call failed" and quickly shut down, reverting back into the normal dash. Jason was as confused as to why his call didn't go through, but it didn't think too much into. He had already caught up with the truck and was five seconds away from drawing his gun again when he spotted New Bark Forest in the distance.
The mercenary quickly slammed the brakes and stopped his car again. He got out of the vehicle and gazed in amazement at the green mist covering the woods.
(Alex's POV, Deep in New Bark Forest)
I woke up with the godfather of all headaches. My vision was really blurry at first and my body felt really strange. Once my vision returned to normal, I was able to see the green haze still floating around in the air.
I scrambled to my feet and ran, trying to get away from the gas… only to run into a tree head first. "Owww…" I moaned as I rubbed my head… odd my hair seems… longer than normal… and feels a hell of a lot softer than normal.
I got up and for some reason found it kind of hard to stand up straight what's even weirder was I felt my nose getting assaulted with strange scents I've never smelled before… odd… I noticed that my hearing had also improved. I could hear faint Pokémon calls far away from where I was standing and even could hear people's voice coming from the city! This was all so very new and strange to me, I almost panicked. Why was this happening to me?
I felt an itch on my nose and scratched the tip of my muzzle with my claw tipped paw……… wait, WHAT?! MUZZLE?! PAWS ?! CLAWS?! I quickly looked over my body and found that was no long human! I had grown blue and black fur all over my body, except for my arms which had two rings of yellow fur on my wrist. My hands and feet had become paws… or paw-like I suppose… after all I still have thumbs and my feet still look somewhat human even if they were a little misshapen. Quickly my hands (or paws I guess) shot up to the top of my head where I had found my ears had became large and round. My face had become a muzzle as I had discovered before. The inside of my mouth was now filled with sharp fangs and I know my tongue has gotten longer to better fit my new snout. The last things I noticed was the black furred, three foot long, spark tipped tail that had grown out of my spine. My tail…
After I looked over my new body and remembering everything I had learned about foreign Pokémon I was about to figure out what I had become… I had been transformed into a Luxio Pokémorph… half human, half Pokémon… full morph… a creature of legends and dreams… This is so AWESOME!
I grinned looking over my body again. My clothes survived for the most part, but my shoes were completely ruined my new clawed feet. I took them off and threw them away. I can't believe it! I'm a morph! "This is so cool!" I uncontrollably shouted.
"…Hey… can you keep it down? … I'm trying to sleep over here…" someone sleepily said. I looked at the creature that spoke up and found that it was another Luxio morph like me. It had shorter hair than I and was wearing the exact same outfit that Merissa was wearing! Looks she had become a Luxio morph as well. Well it's nice to know that I'm not the only morph in the world.
I nudged the sleeping morph, hoping to wake her. The Luxio girl didn't move. So I tried again, still nothing… feeling brave I decided to hit the new morph with the back of my paw. "Ow!" she cried. The female Luxio slowly raised her head and yawned… showing a muzzle filled with gleaming white fangs.
"Alright… who's the wiseass that hit me?" she asked. "I did." I responded. "Okay than… consider yourself one unlucky, dead man. Cause when I'm through with you, you… Y-y-y-you're not human?!" The morph screamed as she turned to face me. Her fur and tail were standing up straight and her onceeyes blue, now yellow eyes widened in terror. She quickly back away in fear. "…Nope… I'm not. Not anymore… and neither are you."
Merissa was confused about my words… but her confusion soon turned to shock as she realized who I was. "…A-Alex? I-is that… you?" She slowly questioned me. I grinned a toothy smile. "Yep." I smiled. "No way! How did that happen? You're… You're a… a… a…" She just couldn't seem to find the words. "A Luxio Pokémorph I proudly stated. "And so are you."
"Wh-what are you talking about, Alex?" Merissa asked, confused by my words. "I'm no freak show. I'm… I-I'm a…" she looked over her body and much to her displeasure, found that I was right. She was in fact and Luxio Pokémorph like me… She started to tear up… something I've never seen her do before.
"Alex… how did this happen us? ……Why did this happen to us?" She started to sob. "How? …This is your all fault isn't it?!" The lioness spitefully shouted. "You did this didn't you?!" The morph screamed.
"Wait WHAT?! Why are you blaming me?" I innocently asked. "Because, if you hadn't of run off after literally making me a sandwich and have died like the man you're pretending to be, we would never have entered this damn forest and never transformed into these… these… freaks!!!" Merissa growled, barring her fangs. Oh crap… And I thought see was scary when she was human…
"N-n-now Merissa… claim down… let's not do anything hasty… (Gulp)" I nervously said, trying my best to stay alive. "J-j-just look on the bright side…" I said
"What bright side." Merissa hissed. "If you ever have a zit no one will ever notice?" I asked in a small voice. "I'll kill you!!!" Merissa snarled, charging me with her new claws.
"No… I don't you will." a voice spoke up from out of the forest… we turned to the source and found a man wearing a gas mask coming out from the forest flora. "Who the hell are you?" Merissa furiously asked. "………No one you need to know of." He coldly said as pulled an assault rifle from behind his back and pointed it at us…
I stared at man in shock and fear. He looked like one of the Special Forces guys from the war games I like to play with the gas mask and dark army suit… except this isn't a game this is for real! I'd have run if it wasn't for the fact that the man would gun me down with that weapon of his before I could do anything about it.
"Now… don't move…" He commanded. Normally I'd never listen to anyone who told me this, not even the police… but when someone pulls out a gun and points it at you…
"Private! Get over here, now!" He barked an order at his partner. "Alright! I'm coming. What is…?" a female voice responded. Another person dressed in a similar attire as the man caught up with her partner but stopped when she saw us. "What the hell? …Who… W-what are you?" His partner fearfully asked.
"They're Luxio Pokémorphs, kid, and from the looks of it I'd say the experiment was a success." I heard the man cheer never looking away from us. "I guess it's a good thing you bitched about the containers leaking… otherwise we would've never found out that the professor's project was a success after all."
"…E-experiment?" I fearfully asked. "Yes… An experiment we've been working on for years… Project Plague." The man explained. "Pro-Project Plague? Wh-what's that…?" Merissa asked with a weak growl, baring her fangs. It was clear that she was trying to intimidate the two humans… however her fear was showing plain as the green mist still surrounding us.
The man just laughed, still aiming the weapon at us. "That's funny! You think you're real tough now that you're a freak, right? You probably don't even know how to hold a charge, let alone launch an electric attack." The man laughed. "Now if you'll excuse me…" the man slowly moved his left to the side of his mask and held the rifle with his right.
"Command…" He began as he pushed the side of his mask. "Call General Akashi at once and tell him the experiment wasn't as big a failure as we thought it was." The man continued. Dammit… what can I do? Let's see… if I move I'll get shot and if I don't… who knows what these guys will do to us… and here I thought stuff like this only happened in Pokémorph stories…
Okay… if I'm right, which I seriously hope I am… My new form also means new abilities… I should be faster, stronger and be able to generate electricity… Ah, who am I kidding? I don't know how to actually use any of my of my new powers… so what can I do? Let's see… I'm about five feet away from the humans and I've already established the fact that I'm faster and stronger than them… so… maybe…
"Yeah, send back up… and plenty of it, ASAP." I overheard the armed man say over his headset. I have only one chance at this… here goes. Using speed I've never had before, I charged the armed man. Seeing this, he opened fire on me… I did get hit… but was a minor scrape across my furry, blue arm. Once I was close enough, I tackled the human to the ground and began assaulting the man with my claws.
"Oh God! They're attacking!" The girl screamed as Merissa joined in the fight and attacked the weak humans. She knocked the poor girl down and also used her new claws to try to kill our newfound enemies.
(Meanwhile)
(Jason's POV)
Seeing as I had no choice but to head in after the truck, I opened the trunk of my car and took out a gas mask and strapped it onto my face. From there, I had to face a tough decision… which gun am I going to be hunting with today?
My thoughts were cut short when I heard an automatic weapon being fired off in the distance. I quickly ducked behind my car, thinking that they were shooting at me, only to find out that I wasn't the target… in fact it got awfully and uncomfortably quiet and pretty quickly…
I ended up taking a shotgun out from the truck of my car and figured I'd take my chances. Before leaving, I grabbed the handgun I like to keep stashed away in my glove compartment and placed it in the empty hostler strapped to my chest… I looked at the forest in eager anticipation… something tells me that this jobs finally heating up… how I could only wonder what was taking place in that forest as I make a one mercenary charge into the woods.
(Back with Alex)
(Main POV)
The two Luxio morphs clawed and bit their captors… but the suits they were wearing were designed to handle the attacks of any Pokémon… so the inexperienced Pokémorphs had no chance of breaking them. Alex tried to generate an electric attack, in hopes of stunning both humans so he and Merissa could escape… but unfortunately for him t he best he could come up with is a small spark.
In no time Alex was knocked back and beaten to the point of unconsciousness, while Merissa managed to succeed at removing the girl's mask and was about to attack the girls face… however she heard a clicking sound behind her and saw the girl's partner standing over Alex's unconscious body, pointing his weapon at the male Luxio morph's head.
"ALEX!" Merissa shouted. "Come quietly or the 'boy' dies." The man sneered as his partner on the floor began to feel light headed.
"Let him go or else she dies!" Merissa shouted putting her clawed paw over the girl's bare neck… the man however responded with an evil chuckle. "Do you really think I care what happens to her?" He asked the other Luxio morph. "Go ahead and kill her… she doesn't matter! She's nothing but a failure anyway…"
The girl was hurt by his words… the words "doesn't matter" and "failure"… those words have plagued her her whole life… and they've come back to haunt her yet again. "What are you waiting for? Kill that pathetic girl already! I'm tired of babysitting her anyway! Do us all the favor." The man laughed, still keeping his rifle over Alex's head. "I'll still kill your friend here and leave with no partner and one female morph."
Merissa was at a loss of words and didn't know what to do… she thought about bluffing or trying to use her new powers… yet she just didn't have the courage to attempt anything. She slowly got up and put her paws behind her furry head and fell to her knees. "…Okay, you win… just please… please don't hurt him… please…" She begged, tears rolling down her muzzle. The man sneered as his partner fainted… her brown hair slowly changing to a golden color and fur began to appear on her neck…
(Rese City, south of New Bark Forest)
The small city was pretty calm and peaceful on a beautiful day like today. Rese City has a population of around a thousand and is pretty small when compared to Violet or Goldenrod City, Jotho's Capital. It looks more like a village! The city was abuzz with people doing their normal routines, working or heading to school. The only thing that was out of the ordinary that ever happens is when Merissa chases down Alex throughout the entire city and even that's predictable.
A very beautiful and peaceful city it is… if you don't notice or mind ominous green mist rolling into town that is. People had noticed it flow into town and wondered what was. Many people tried to avoid it… but for some it, was a futile effort… mist spread and engulfed the citizens… making them feel light headed. Some people fell to the ground and were out like water/flying-type hit by a Raichu's thunder attack. Others were able to stay up and endure the pain they were now feeling…
The mist soon filled the streets of Rese City… and began to transform people into Pokémorphs… The transformations were different for everyone, some fell unconscious and changed in their sleep… others had to endure the painful transformations that their bodies began to go through. Words can't describe how painful it is to feel a tail burst out of your pants, or claws now pushing their way out of your skin. Many will never forget the feeling of growing new limbs…
A young girl watched in amazement at the events as they took place from the relative safety of the tenth floor of the hotel she was staying in… she wondered if this was really real or just a dream.
The girl's name is Alice Tanner. She's a teenage girl who came to Rese on a vacation to visit her uncle, though in secret she had hoped to havesneaked away to New Bark and receive one of the Johto starter Pokémon to keep her Skitty company.
The girl had mixed feelings about what was happening. On one hand, she thought that it was kind of cool and wondered what it would be like to be transformed into a Pokémorph… on the other hand, she thought what would happen to her life if she had been changed. What would her friends and family think of her… what would the world think? Alice silently prayed that the gas would disperse before it reached her. She doesn't care about how many people are morphed as long as she herself could still be human…
The gas slowly entered the room through the air vents. The gas quickly filled the room and before she knew it, Alice herself was inhaling the morphing gas. At first she felt nothing, no pain, no light headedness, nothing. She didn't even notice the gas until she felt an itch at the soles of her feet.
At first it was just an itch, a minor annoyance, nothing more… but it soon grew in discomfort and before long her feet were in pain. She fell to the floor, quickly unlaced her shoes and kicked them off of her feet in time to see her feet painfully shift from human to feline. She felt her toes painfully merge together to form a three toed paw as pink pads quickly began to form.
Her whole body began to itch and ache. She watched in amazement as pink fur began to appear on her legs and creep its way up her body. Her back began to hurt as she felt pressure in her tail bone. It didn't take long before a tail exploded out of her jeans. The girl looked at her new tail realized that the tail was that of a Skitty!
The childish side of her brain thought that this was really cool and couldn't wait to see what she'd look like as a morph… yet the rational side of her brain warned of many dangers of this new form. Dangers including treating her differently or just flat out trying to kill the girl now that she was no longer human. Alice's thoughts were at war with themselves. Some stated that she was being cursed by fate, doomed forever to live as freak while the other said that she was being blessed to live as goddess… or at the very least as a superhero with her, undiscovered powers lying dormant within her.
Alice's mind once more returned to her transformation when her hands began to felt strange. She looked at them and found pink pads had appeared on the tips of her fingers and in her palms and her fingers had grown claws. Much to the slowly transforming girl's surprise her claws retracted back into her fingers, freaking her out.
The final phase of her change was occurring; her face slowly and painfully began to shift, pushing out to form a very feline muzzle. Her teeth sharpened into fangs and her ears became pointed, more feline and moved to the top of her head. Her hair changed from dark brown to pink and grew down to her waist.
Finally the pain stopped and the human girl was staying in this room was no more. In her place was a new creature the world had only known in dreams and fantasies. Alice slowly got up, saw her transparent reflection in the window and fell back down to her knees.
(New Bark Forest)
Screams could be heard from the distance. Screams from a nearby city, whose population was slowly changing from human to morph. "You hear that?" The soldier wearing a gas mask asked as he finished tying Merissa and Alex up. "Sounds like you guys ain't the only morphs in town anymore… I must say people in your city sure can yell if we can hear them all the way over here." He sneered. Merissa looked at him in shock. "My… city… you don't mean…" She stopped asking in fear of find out the truth.
The man sneered under his suits mask. "Don't worry little, Luxio, the Ninth Battalion will take good care of you…" the man evilly chuckled. "Wh-what do you mean by that?" The female morph asked her captor. "What do you have planned for us?" She asked as a helicopter flew over them and landed in a nearby clearing. "You'll see soon enough…" the man chuckled. Two more men in wearing gas masks came to grab the Luxio morphs and take them away. Merissa just closed her eyes and silently wept… she knew that whatever they had planned for them couldn't be good.
"We still have a lot more to air lift out." The captor shouted over the loud whirling of the chopper's spinning rotor blades. "These a whole city full of the beasts."
"We know. That's why General Akashi has sent out the Rayquaza along with a fleet of helicopters to bag'em all!" The pilot of the helicopter responded. "The Rayquaza? You mean they got it back up and running?" The man asked in shock, "Yeah it's on its way!" Another man shouted as he got into the helicopter with the morphs. Their captor was about to go on when he was stopped. "Sorry, soldier, but this chopper's full! You'll need to wait for the next one!"
The soldier grumbled as the helicopter flew up and away from the sight… leaving him alone with… "Kid? Hey, kid? You… okay…?" Looked over his partner's slowly awaking body… The girl had changed thanks to the gas. She had golden fur covering her face, claws had ripped through her gloves and boots and her face looked very much like a Ninetales! In fact behind her lay nine long, golden furred tails with red tips on them.
"…Oh… it's you…" She sadly said. "I'm… I'm sorry if-" "Kid, look over yourself." He commanded. The fox didn't know why he would ask her to do such a thing, but orders are orders… She looked over herself and found her Pokémon like features… then screamed. "W-WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!?" she shouted. "From the looks of it, I'd say the gas transformed ya." Her partner answered. "It looks like you've become a Ninetales Pokémorph and a part of Project Plague, congrats kid!" The man teased.
"N-NO! This can't be!" The young fox wept. "…I… I don't want to be a freak… I don't want to be a part of the project… I…I…" The new Ninetales couldn't finish her sentence. She was still too upset with the fact that she was no longer human. "We all have things we don't want to do, but have to…" The man said to her. "Like now I have to kill you if you resist capture."
The fox looked at him in shock and then got to her knees. "…What are you waiting for then?" She suddenly asked. "What?" "Kill me… kill me please…" She begged… "I've been nothing but a failure my whole life… everyone hates me… and my parents… I don't want to be this freak or a part of this project of yours… so it'd better for everyone if you just kill me now."
The man said nothing… all he did was load his gun and pointed it at the fox's head. The Ninetales morph closed her eyes just as tears started to run down her new muzzle.
That wasn't all too bad was it? Again I don't usually do transformations, so no flames please thank you.
But that poor Ninetales and Alice... You know they're dead. =/
.........or are they? Only one way to find out! And NO! It's not reading the old story! Because there's gonna be a LOT of changes to the next chapter.
As Always
Love it, Hate it, just review it.
Gunner out.
