Author's Notes: I am SO sorry that this is late. I kept getting shoved off the computer by my sisters and kept receiving the 'Your whole life can't be on the machine' speech from my dad. I'm writing a freaking story, is that so bad?

Anyway, I finally got this out, and I'm proud of it. Oh be sure to check out the author's notes at the end of the chapter.

Chapter 23

I stared at myself, wide-eyed and scared out of my mind.

'Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok,' I was just repeating myself over and over, unable to think.

'Nick, you don't know how long I've been waiting for this to happen.'

'You knew this was going to happen'?

'No, I just really wanted this to happen. It was a fantasy of sorts,' she said hysterically. Terra was still hyperventilating and foaming at the mouth. She looked like she had gone insane.

'Let's mate.'

'WHAT!'?

'I said, let's date. Here I'll show you around the place.'

Terra finally got off to let me think about things. Now that I realized that I was a typhlosion, everything seemed completely different. Everything was different when I was on all four feet, seeing everything from a foot off the ground.

I also noticed that my vision was slightly dimmer now, but everything seemed a lot louder. I could here the waves from the ocean banging against the cliffs from a kilometer away. Along with that, the odor of the forest in the wind was extremely ample. My sense of smell had improved dramatically, enough that it seemed hard to get used to.

I looked at my front leg to find the data-brace still strapped onto me. I sighed in relief. I knew I wasn't going to be able to contact Karen, I was a typhlosion, and I couldn't talk without vocal cords.

'Wow, Terra, how do you deal with thi-,' she huddled up against me and rubbed her head against mine. 'Oh,' I said as I melted.

Speaking of which, being a fire pokemon, it was so hot. But strangely the heat didn't bother me, in fact, I felt as if I wanted more heat. I couldn't get enough it.

'Come on, lemme show you around the forest.' We began to walk through the not-so-dense part of the forest. From what I had seen, all the places looked exactly the same, but the way Terra told me, it seemed that every section of the forest had a different story. Terra had a lot of history in the forest.

As we walked, things seemed so weird, the aroma of the forest swam through the air, along with the smell of fresh dirt and the ocean water in the distance. But the strongest smell came from Terra. She smelled exactly the way she did before except much stronger with a few subtle details. But strange enough, there was one other thing about the smell. I could smell something strong coming from Terra, that I hadn't smelled before, an odor that seemed to attract me to Terra in a way. After a while I found myself sniffing the air every five seconds.

After an awkward silence, as we were walking, I put my body against Terra's and started nuzzling her. She halted and backed away.

'OK, this is just too weird.'

'What is it'?

'You're being nice. Male typhlosions are aggressive, hostile and hateful, and you're nuzzling me.'

'Do you want me to stop'?

'Are you kidding, I'm in heaven. Keep doing it.'

After about an hour, a thought finally struck me. 'How am I going to turn back into a human'?

'I don't know.' I thought to myself how I could turn back into a human. I tried to think of my human form as hard as possible, but nothing happened.

'Nick, can you be quiet, you're giving me a headache.' I realized how hard I was thinking.

'OH, sorry.' I started nuzzling Terra to calm her down. She enjoyed it, a lot. I guess I'll have to wait to find out.

Unfortunately, it seemed that I wasn't going to change back just like that, as three hours has passed. Terra and I felt hungry, so Terra used this opportunity to show me how to hunt. Within five minutes, Terra had caught a scent.

'Follow me.' She took off with a burst of speed and so did I. Running so fast was amazing. My legs darted across the ground like it was nothing and it didn't even tire me.

I caught up with Terra to find her cornering a pikachu to a tree. I was surprised that she still knew how to hunt so well. She growled and hissed ferociously at the frightened little pikachu. She pounced and tackled it to the ground. I didn't want to watch. Terra lunged for the it's neck but she suddenly froze.

'What is it Terra.' She froze with her mouth opened, inches away from the pikachu's neck. She looked saddened and guilty.

'I can't DO IT!' She backed away and the pikachu sprinted away.

'What's wrong'?

'I don't know what came over me. I couldn't stop thinking of Dallin.'

'Someone feels guilty, doesn't she.'

'Shut up,' Terra said, embarrassed, but not seriously.

'Hey it's ok, we can eat other things. You do eat other things right'?

'Ya, follow me.' She led me to a denser part of the forest, in which we found a plethora of berries. The berries were extremely sweet and very tasty. Before I knew it, I practically ate the entire bush.

After a while we were back to the less dense part of the forest. I looked into the sky to find the sun setting over the trees.

'Nick, there's something I want to show you.' We started to make a dash towards a path. The path was oddly familiar. We found or self at the end of the path, at a most familiar site. It was the place that I had landed on when I came through the portal for the first time, it was the place that I first saw Lugia, and now it was the place that I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets in my life.

'Wow, this is amazing. I never knew you could get such an effect here.'

'This is one of my favorite places to go. Me and the herd would always come here. It was here that me and Shade would,' she paused for a brief second, 'you know.'

'Oh, right.' I laid down in the grass. It was much more comfortable to lie down as a typhlosion than it did as a human, as my weight was evenly spread throughout the ground. Terra laid beside me and nuzzled me as usual.

Everything seemed perfect. It was so warm, food was easy to find, we had no worries, everything. The only problem was that not having flexible arms, my back itched like hell, but I was willing to live with that.

'Tense up the muscles between your shoulders.'

'Why'?

'Just do it.' I stood up and flexed my shoulders. I suddenly had a sharp feeling on my shoulders, but it relieved the itch. I looked at my back to find a flame lit up the entire area between my shoulders. After a few seconds I didn't feel anything at all, but the flame still shone brightly. I relaxed my muscles and the fire went out.

'Cool,' Terra gave me a weird look, 'I mean that's hot.' Terra chuckled a little. Now everything seemed perfect.

We laid together watching the sun set. Suddenly that strange smell radiated from Terra again. It smell strangely pleasant. I found myself sniffing her every so often, but for some reason she didn't mind. I guess it's partly what typhlosions do with their sense of smell.

I still wondered how I was going to change back into a human, but I had no idea. I wondered how I had even transformed into a typhlosion. I guess this is what it meant by seeing through the eyes of the pokemon. But could I only change into a typhlosion or did I have no boundaries.

'Calm down, Nick. Typhlosions aren't supposed to think this much, we're supposed to relax. Besides your hair's messed up. Hold still.' She started grooming me, it was heaven. The strange smell grew stronger. I loved Terra, but I was started to get weirded out how much she loved me.

The smell grew stronger. For some reason after a while I found myself twiddling my fingers, unable to hold still. I felt more attracted to Terra for some reason.

The smell grew stronger.

'Nick, your drooling,' she didn't seem shocked, she actually seemed pleased. I tried to think a response but something was wrong. I couldn't think straight for some reason, I couldn't stop thinking of Terra. I became more hyper, twitching my legs and arms.

The smell grew so strong that I couldn't block it out. I suddenly found myself hyperventilating, and started twitching uncontrollably. After a few seconds, I finally realized what was going on.

I jumped to my feet, and backed away from Terra. She even looked different from before that aroma filled the air. Her fur looked detailed and vibrant, which made her more elegant and smooth. She stared at me with lustful look in her eyes. Everything seemed so different, and Terra looked so attractive.

I finally dived onto Terra for, what I like to call, one hell of a night.

Author's Notes: I know what your thinking, and the answer is, yes we are doing what you think we're doing. More bluntly, we're having sex. No-one saw that coming, huh. The reason I wrote the fanfic is because pokemon needs realism, doesn't it? I hope I didn't offend anyone, but this is why it's rated T along with the violence.
