Sorry people I accidently deleted this chapter and replaced it with the wrong file. Chapter three of Harold had to be rewritten entirely. Lucky me that I saved my backup file.
I don't own Pokemon, but Harold is mine to torture.
Kimberly and Tommy also belong to me.

I don't own Pokemon, but Harold is mine.
p.s. Sorry about the sudden Title change.

Ch. 3 Sleeping Late
11-26-08
(Autumn's POV)
..... so tired..... must sleep....Gah light!.... Is it morning already?.....but mommy and poppy never let me sleep in..... I sat up and looked around the burrow....Mommy?..... Poppy?.....they're not here....Hm?.... I sniffed the air for a second. There was a strange scent in the air...... Somebody else was here.....*sniff*......Make that two somebodys, including Snippy from next door.....what was he doing here?.... and who was that other person.... He smells bad.... a fire pokemon maybe.....
My ears perked up, when I heard voices outside.
"(I'm telling you somebody was in our burrow last night!)"
"(Don't be silly Lil.)," another voice said as I made my way to the hole
"(Oh, you're just a Caterpie, what do you know! You don't even have a nose.)," Mommy said bluntly.
"(No, but I was up all last night, just like our deal.)," the voice said, "(no one came even close to our home last night.)"
"(I'm telling you there was somebo...)," mommy stopped to look at me, "(Autumn?)"
"(Mommy, why are you yelling at the nice Caterpie?"
"(Autumn?)," Mommy ran up to me and held me in her arms, "(Oh Autumn, you're awake! My precious Autumn's awake!)"
"(Mommy?)"
"(Oh thank Mew, you're awake!)" she released me from her death grip.
"(Mommy, why are you crying?)"
She put her paw to my forehead, "(and Girantina! Your fever is gone!)"
"(It's a flipping miracle!)" Caterpie was stunned.
.
(Kim's POV)
.....Oh, my head.... I when I moved something heavy fell off of me. I turned to see that it was Tommy.
"Tommy," I yelled seeing that his backside was burnt, "Tommy, are you alright! Tommy answer me."
"Oh, not now Rachel," he grumbled, "I'll feed you later."
I frowned, despite that I was overjoyed that he was alright. Rachel was his old pet Persian. They had her since he was a baby, but she had died of old age three years ago. A whole two years after we started dating.
.....I can't believe that he still dreams about that old cat..... well, at least he's safe..... but couldn't he dream about me for once..... Oh snap, I'm jealous of his dead cat....
"Hm? Kimberly, why am I in your arms?"
"Tommy! You saved my life! Oh, you were so brave!" I just hugged him again. I did not want to let him go. After a few minutes we got up and headed back to town.
.
(Harold's POV)
"Nyah," I stretched and yawned, "(what a terrible dream... hm?)"
.....Something doesn't sound right...
"(Testing, testing, one, two, three.)," I said. It sounded like english to me, but something was off.
"Nya," I sighed.
Then my eyes grew three times their normal size.
"(Why did I say 'Ne ya'?)," I said before I whacked myself on the head, "(Oh, that's right the curse. Now what was it again?)" I noticed that I was no longer standing up one two legs, but could walk around on all fours naturally. I looked at my now three fingered paws.
"(Now I remember! That good for nothing Nanashi. When I find you I'm going to mangle you so badly that even you own God...)"
*bonk*
Something hit me on my head. I looked down and saw that it just a crumbled up piece of paper, but when it hit me, had felt like it was a small Anvil. I picked up the piece of paper and threw it away.
*bonk*
It hit me on the head again.
"Nya! (Who threw that!)," I yelled before throwing the paper again.
*bonk*
"(This is getting annoying!)," I screamed ripping up the paper with my new claws. I was breathing hard by the time that I was done. I had calmed down again, when the paper fell from above again.
*Bonk*
*Bonk*
*Bam!*
The third time had struck my head into the ground.
"Nyahhh! (What do you want from me!)," I exclaimed. Suddenly, a sign fell from the sky and drove itself into the ground right in front of where I was laying, causing me to back up, worrying about what else was going to fall from the sky. After a few moments, I looked up at the wooden sign.
It read: Read the piece of paper you, Baka!
__________________,with love Nanashi Chimera.
"(Man, you could have been a little more inconspicuous ya know.)," I said glaring at the sign.
The sign suddenly spun around to its back side, which read: p.s. The piece of paper was my way of being inconspicuous, Harold. If you'd just read it already, then I would not have had to give you this wooden sign, but no... so 'here's ya sign.'
"(Alright! Alright! I'll read the stupid piece of paper!)," I grumbled as I unwrapped the paper ball and saw what it said.
Greetings Harold,
If you are reading this then... oh, who am I kidding!
You are such a nincompoop, Harold! You had me trying so hard to get you to read this note, that I had forgotten what I was going to tell you in the note. So I'm going to go back and start the past five minutes of reading all over again.
"(Wait, please, not again!)," I screamed after the past few minutes had repeated for me several times over. When the loop had stopped repeating itself, I continued reading the piece of paper.
Oh, now I remember what I was going to tell you. Don't try to cuss in my fanfic. Attempting to do so will result in nothing, but pain for you.
"(Yeah, I kind of figured as much.)," I said before continuing reading.
And stop interrupting my letter! People are having enough trouble reading it as it is already.
"(Well. Sor-Ry!)," I complained as the letter continued.
Thank you. Now as you also know, I have curse you to live the life of a Meowth. I had also left the polka curse and the fish curse. And I am telling you this, so that the readers will know what they are.... if you think about throwing away this paper again, I will drop another sign.
Now as you know, the fish curse is triggered by you smoking, while the polka curse is triggered when a certain word is said by someone else or read by you. The fish curse may be more useful to you than you think, where as the Polka curse would have posed a problem. So, I removed the polka curse for the story to move more smoothly.
Now for the curse that you just recently received. I will not ever remove this curse. You will be trapped in that new body of yours forever.
"(Hey, what about the loophole! You said that there was going to be a loophole!)," I exclaimed before I continued reading again.
I was getting to that... Even if I wanted to remove the curse, I can't. Your curse is sealed, thanks to that charm on your forehead. Only when the charm is removed will you be free from this curse... And stop scratching at it! You can't take it off yourself. If you try, then all that you will do is use an attack known as 'Pay Day'. Take a moment now to look at the ground.
I did and I saw copies of the charm that fell to the ground. I tried scratching the charm off a few more times, but every time I did another charm took its place. After about two minutes, I got back to reading Nanashi's note.
I thought I told you to look for only a moment. Baka! Well, at least you understand now that the charm can not be removed by you. The charm can only be removed by somebody who cares about you for who you are.
signed with love,
Nanashi Chimera
......someone who cares about me?..... who could that be?..... I mean I'm in the pokemon world now....nobody even knows who I am.....I thought before reading the p.s. that Nanashi had left.
p.s. This note will self-destruct as soon as you say the word 'What'.
"(What!)," I exclaimed without thinking and the note exploded. Hitting everything within the crater, obliterating anything that was made of paper or wood.
.
(Autumn's POV)
"(I was sick, mommy?)"
"(Sick? Ha!)," the caterpie stated, "(Sick nothing! You had the mark of Girantina written all over you.)"
"(What's a Ger-gran tina?)," I asked nice looking Caterpie.
"(Figs, Autumn is just too young to know about such things!)," Mommy yelled at the Caterpie.
"(Sorry, I tend to forget how quickly us Bug Pokemon mature, when compared to others. I meant no harm in it, Lil.)"
"(Mommy, what's a ger-an-tina?)"
"(Nothing that you will need to know about yet, my little Oran Berry.)," Mommy said as she started grooming me.
I never really liked it when she groomed me, not when we were alone, and certainly not in front of others. It was sort of embarrassing to me. I never understood why. It's been like that since I was born. It alway was and that was that. I never complained in front of others, because I wanted to be respectful to Mommy and Poppy. Which might be why she doesn't groom me in private and waits until I am out in the open like this.
"(Mommy! I'm clean! I'm clean!)," I lied as I tried to escaped her grasp, but she wouldn't let me go, "(Come on, Mommy! I want to go play!)"
I giggled as she started grooming my more sensitive areas, like behind my left ear and on my belly.
"(There now, all clean.)," Mommy finally said,"(Now you can go and...)"
Then a big booming noise interrupted Mommy. I could see a big brown cloud rise from the behind the trees in the distance.

oh. dear..... what. could. that. explosion. have. been..... and. in. case. you. didn't. know. already..... this. is. sarcasm.
R&R I already know that this story may be hard to follow, but this is the first time that I have tried the 'write and then post the same day system.'
And don't worry I do have a plan on what will happen next to Harold.
Nanashi Chimera
p.s. thank you for believing in the light Siran 774. You're enthusiasm appalls me. :D
p.p.s. And no, I don't know what the word appalls means.... but I think it works because I already want to write the next chapter. ('_')
