I have some bad news, there is a chance that I have scoliosis. I'm really hoping that it is not "Neuromuscular Scoliosis" because if it is there is a chance that I will become paralyzed. Don't worry about me though, paralysis won't stop me unless I become a vegetable. Then I'll be forced to stop due to inability to move. Enough about my possible disorder. My problems are not your problems.
Like I said last chapter, Red and blue are now going to be called by their real names; Blake(Red) and Claus(Blue). Also remember Jason will be called Tanis by the group until he opens up to them.
Chapter 5: That's new...
Guess who was at the hot spring when we got there. Yup that very same kirlia from before.
"So we meet again." She starts yet another psychic conversation.
Why won't you just stay out of my head? I thought back at her.
"Relax, I just wanted to apologize for my actions before." She's apologizing to me? From what I know girls always make the guy apologize to them even when it isn't the guy's fault.
Oh well apology accepted.
"Come on Tanis, let's go in." Claus called. Gonna take time before I get used to being called Tanis.
Well my trainer is calling. Seeing how we met up again, I'm guessing I'll see you again later.
"Maybe, we'll see." She grinned while saying that. I didn't like the grin, it seemed deceptive.
When we left out into the spring area Claus released all his Pokemon. I kept a close eye on the zangoose. Don't need another one of her outbursts to my apparent 'cuteness'. Claus was the first to get in, followed by his plusle, then marshtomp, then zangoose, then dratini. I hesitated for unknown reasons.
"Hey are you okay?" The marshtomp asked. I felt a headache coming along, don't know why.
"I'm fine..." I answered. The headache felt slightly more aggravating, but I ignored it. I slowly climbed into the spring. The heat of the water didn't rejuvenate the body like people say. I guess it takes time, just gotta relax. Though I was only in up to my chest.
"Something the matter?" The dratini asked.
"No, nothing." I answered. It was just a minor headache. Nothing compared to what I will be feeling in the near future.
"Yes there is, I can see it in your eyes." It said.
"It's just a minor headache, no big deal." It was no big deal, for a moment at least. The headache intensified to the point where I had to clutch my head to ease the pain.
"Looks like a problem to me." The marshtomp said. It was becoming a problem, the headache had advanced to a migraine and kept getting worse. All sound became muffled and my vision blurred. My legs felt like jelly and my body felt like a 10ton weight pressing down on my legs. I couldn't stand anymore and fell face first into the water. Someone pulled me out right after I fell in. In an instant the migraine faded and a freezing sensation swept across my body. Everything returned to normal except for the temperature, it remained somewhat cooler than normal. I realized I was lying on the stone ground outside of the water, sat up, and looked around. Everyone looked like they just had their minds blown and were just staring at me.
"W-What? Why are you staring at me?" No one responded. Something was clearly wrong with me. I looked at my paw, it was blue....that's not normal. Am I colorblind because of that migraine. Never heard of anyone ever becoming colorblind from a migraine, but the marshtomp was still blue, the same shade of blue I am now.
"Please tell me I am going insane." They slowly nodded 'no'. "Someone tell me that I am going insane!" I said louder. They nodded again. "I'm not going insane...I just...changed colors is all." I muttered to myself. This whole me changing colors thing was mind boggling, my headache returned. Like I needed another one, I don't want to be a living rainbow.
"Let's just...go back to the Inn." Claus suggested. Going back seemed like a good and a bad idea, with me being blue I'll attract attention. That's the last thing I wanted.
Surprisingly no one really paid any attention to us as we went back to the Inn. When we made it to the Inn I realized Blake wasn't with us. In fact he wasn't even at the hot spring. Oh well I have bigger problems, like why I am blue. The Inn, of course, had a fire theme to it. Red walls and carpet with little flame designs on them.
"Rooms 13?" Claus asked at the counter. I couldn't see who it was he asked because I was standing by him and I'm too short to see over the counter.
"Left hall, to the right." A female voice answered. We followed the directions to our room. The hallways were slightly dark due to the colors, kinda creepy. Probably why this place didn't get that many visitors. Claus pulled out a card and slid it through the reader, unlocking the door.
The room was pretty large, had two beds, a plasma screen TV, a laptop on a desk in the corner by the window. I wonder how much Blake spent on these rooms. I walked straight into the bathroom. The bathroom was pretty large too, probably for any large Pokemon. I climbed on the sink and looked into the mirror. I had blue skin, my jaw and torso was a blueish white, and my tail was orange. The same orange as Claus' marshtomp's cheeks.
"Claus bring out your marshtomp. I want to see something." After a few seconds it walked in.
"You needed something? Oh names Mash, forgot to tell you."
"Come up to the mirror. I want to compare the colors." I said.
"Um, compare colors?" He asked
"My colors to yours."
"Um, okay?" It climbed up on the sink. I examined our colors, same blue, same orange. I think this color thing is related to him, but how?
"When did I change colors?" I asked Mash.
"Right after I pulled you out of the water." He answered
"It happened after you pulled me out of the water...you made contact with me." It seemed simple enough, but why didn't it happen when his zangoose nearly crushed me?
"Claus bring out all your Pokemon. I think I just figured out why I changed color." I called to him. Everyone walked in. "Okay I think I have this figured out. One of you touch me." Claus lifted an eyebrow. "Just do it." Claus touched my tail, nothing happened. Guess it doesn't work with humans. "Someone else try." His plusle touched my arm, still nothing. "If I changed to Mash's colors why isn't it working with everyone else?" I asked myself. Maybe if I touched them. I placed my paw on plusle's head, my arm turned yellow, the same shade as plusle's fur. I looked in the mirror, I was completely yellow, except there was a large plus sign on my torso and my tail was now red.
"Well we now know how you change colors, but how do you change back?" Claus asked. I didn't even know I could change colors, how would I know how to change back?
"Don't know, we'll just have to see." I answered. "Experiment's over people, go do whatever."
"What about changing you back?" Mash asked.
"We're going to wait and see if it is temporary. That's all we can do right now." I answered and went to sit on a bed and think.
"You're not just a tutored treecko. I want to know everything." Claus said.
I guess they do deserve an explanation. Hell I need one too. Oh well they'll get theirs first. I sighed and began explaining everything that I knew so far.
Yes I know I could have added way more detail, but I wrote this in an hour late at night. If I get around to it I'll add detail. As you can guess there will be more to his color change. Where's Blake you may be wondering, you'll see. Just wait till next chapter.
Please review and tell me how you feel about this story. Flaming will be accepted too, it can help.
