Duh duh duuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh.

The Key to the Voices:

"Hello? Are you there?" - This is normal speaking.

"Hello? Are you there?" - This is telepathy, or known as speaking with the mind.

Hello? Are you there? - This is just a character's own thoughts. No one else can hear them, unless they have telepathy.


"Sir! Wake up please!"

"Don't call him that! We don't even know if it is the master."

"But it looks exactly like him."

"Exactly like him?"

"Yeah, I mean, ignoring the fact that this is a human and all. But I can smell the scent of an Arrow Quill Pokémon any day!"

"Yeah, sure."

Decidueye opened his eyes. He was used to it now, being passed out and awaking in another place. He felt really weird. Like something was off. He sat up and saw Rockruff and Spinda, two Pokémon that lived in the farthest hollow. Decidueye was back home.

"Oh dear, he's awake," Spinda said. "What do you suppose we do?"

Completely ignoring Spinda, the friendly Rockruff said, "Hey! We were so worried about you! Are you okay? Are you hurt? Are you in need of assistance?"

Decidueye shook his head. Even though he felt weird, he wasn't physically damaged in any way.

Spinda stood there in shock, stopping her teetering dance for once. "You can understand us?" Decidueye nodded. "Oh my goodness, you are really him, aren't you? Sir Decidueye?" He nodded again. But then he wondered why the two Pokémon in front of him didn't recognize him. He was pretty sure that he was the only Decidueye living in these parts. But then he saw his own legs and feet in front of him. They were not covered in feathers, but in clothing. He quickly stood up on his feet and looked down. He was wearing long jeans, snow white in color, just like his feathers that were usually on his legs. But the feathers were gone. A green belt was around his waist, and instead of standing on talons, he was wearing white shoes with one brown stripe on each of them.

He held his arms out, and saw… fingers on the ends of them. His three feathers that he used for grabbing, were replaced with five fingers. He touched his face. There was no beak, and then he felt something on his head. Hair, black and ruffled, was on top of his head. His upper body was covered in a white undershirt, which was then covered by a light brown sweater with a dark green hood on the back. There was an attachable red bow tie that looked just like his on the front of the sweater/hoodie. There was also a dark brown strap that held something on his back. He reached for the item, and it was a bow, the color of the darkest shade of black.

That was when he started to freak out. No… calm down, he thought to himself, Arceus talked about this. He told me that I was going to be a human.

"Are you okay?" Spinda asked, looking concered.

"Do you need anything?" Rockruff also asked.

Decidueye shook his head. He slowly took a step forward. Walking wasn't any different from being a Pokémon, but it still felt weird.

"Sir, what happened to you?"

"Yeah, there was that really bad storm last night and we couldn't find you. Then this morning Corsola found you washed up on the beach."

He didn't really know how to explain it to them. But he had to somehow. Decidueye looked at Spinda. "Tell everyone to gather here, now," he said quietly. He hated speaking, no, he despised speaking. But this was one occasion where he had to speak aloud, because no one in Ten Carat Hill had telepathy. And few Pokémon have ever heard his voice, so he could totally understand the shocked face on Spinda and Rockruff right now.

"Oh my goodness. You spoke," Spinda said standing there. Rockruff was shocked too, but then he quickly snapped out of it and said, "You heard him! Let's tell everyone to come here! NOW!" Spinda nodded in agreement. They ran off and started to gather all of the Pokémon in Ten Carat Hill. Decidueye sat on a rock, still trying to comprehend what has happened. When all of the Pokémon were in the center surrounding Decidueye, they were so quiet. They were ready to hear his voice.

"I'm… leaving."

The Pokémon froze. Partly because he spoke, and partly because he just said that he was going to leave. "Why are you leaving?" Some said.

"Yeah, why are you leaving?"

"We need you!"

"Don't leave!"

"WHY? WHY? WHY?"

Decidueye sighed. "Lord Arceus gave me a task. It pains me to leave you all here, but I must go. I will not be gone forever, I promise."

Silence fell across the Pokémon and they all nodded. Decidueye got up from the rock and walked over to the exit. Before he left, he waved goodbye to all of the Pokémon. He walked away from Ten Carat Hill, hearing his many friends, no, not friends, but family, say goodbye. He was leaving home. He was about to start a new journey.

Not even Arceus could predict what was going to happen next.
