Hey guys. Sorry about how long it's been since my last update, and how short this chapter is. I've been busy with school, so I haven't been able to write. I'm back though, and won't go more than 2 weeks without updating one of my stories, since I'm going to start alternating my updates. Before I begin, I have a new key.

"This" is a human talking, or what a human hears from a pokemon
~This~ is a pokemon talking
This is someone's thoughts

We tune back in to see Matt and Riley in the woods where the man was hiding. However they don't look like they did when we last saw them...

~What happened earlier?~ Matt asked as he woke up and rubbed his eyes. At least, that's what he tried to do. For some reason, his arms wouldn't come up to his eyes. When he tried to stand up, he found out that he couldn't. That's when he finally took a look at himself. ~AHHHH!~ Matt screamed. He saw a yellow, fox-like body, and if he turned enough, he could see a bushy yellow tail that was tipped with red. He saw a nearby pond and walked over to it(well, it was more of a crawl since he couldn't use his legs properly yet). Instead of his normal reflection, he saw a fox head, white on the bottom and yellow on the top with a black nose. There was red fluff-like fur coming out of his pointy yellow ears, and his eyes were now completely red-orange except for the elongated pupils. I feel like I've seen this face somewhere. But where?

Matt? Where are you?~ said Riley as she awoke. When no one answered, she used her paws to push herself up. Wait PAWS?! So she decided to look at herself in the nearby pond. She walked over to it, almost tripping a few times. When she reached the water, she saw a head that certainly didn't belong to her looking back. It's blue, with a black mask that surrounds her eyes. She has two ears on the top of her head, and two black, bulb-like things sticking out the side of her mask(I know that they're aura sensors, but Riley doesn't know that yet). She has a yellow ring around her neck, with a black design at her chest, and a blue area directly below that. Her arms and upper paws are blue, and her lower paws and legs are black, with three toes/fingers on each paw. Each of her upper paws has a white bulb on top, and she could see a blue tail behind her. ~What's happened to me!?~

"Should I teach them now?" said the man from earlier into the same phone.

"Yes. They need to learn if they're going to save the world," came the voice on the other end of the call.

"Yes, sir. Engaging contact now."

Any OCs already in will be used. Any future OCs will possibly be in it. Again, feedback is wanted. Sorry again about the long update.
