I am thinking about whether or not to continue this story, hardly any people follow it, I get almost no reviews, and no one joins the discord, so I wonder what the point is.

In the last chapter Alex defended the gym and defeated Maya, and Moon was captured by Kyle once again to be tortured. It was also learned that Kyle now worked for Team Rocket.

"Welp, I guess it's been awhile, I should go check on how my pet is doing" I said out loud to myself, "how long has he been in there, 1… 2 days now." I walked into the room where Moon was being held. He looked at me and snarled, though he was a human it was still a bit intimidating. "Well, if you are acting like that I can leave you in here for a few more days" I told him. As I said that his hostile expression evaporated as he ironically gave me puppy dog eyes, looking as apologetic as possible. I knew the experiment was a success and was excited to test the results.

I unstrapped moon from the table he had been laying on for the previous day or two. As he stood I noticed something different about his posture, he no longer stood upright, he was hunched over while his arms hung from his body. I snapped my fingers and a Buneary was released into the room, as it was Moon sniffed the air and turned towards the small rabbit Pokemon. The Pokemon caught his gaze and he jumped on it. I was impressed with his agility, it was as if he really was still a Pokemon.

As I watched Moon attack the Pokemon a small glint caught my eye and I saw that his fingernails had become a glossy black and razor sharp. With these nails he tore through the flesh of the Pokemon and quickly ended its life. He began to dig into his reward as he sent a splatter of blood across the wall. I knew in the past that he hunted his own food, but watching it was more disturbing than I thought it would be. As Moon tore into the flesh of his meal I saw a small tuft of fluffy white fur that seemed to have sprouted from the base of his spine, this discovery intrigued me even more due to the fact that it was not there during the examination of his body while he had been knocked out. It seemed as if he was truly reverting back into a Pokemon.

I thought about my hypothesis and the more I thought about it the more it seemed possible, and a grin crept it's way across my face. It seemed that the more Pokemon Moon's state of mind was, the more Pokemon his body became. That is when I remembered what I had to be sure I did not have to worry about him hurting me, I took out a small, round, black, object. Moon recognised this object immediately and backed into a corner where he proceeded to snarl at me. There was no doubt he knew what was going to happen next. With a click the collar opened in my grasp and I held it out towards Moon. I began to advance on the human turning Pokemon. As I got closer to Moon I heard him whimper before he went back to his snarl, it was obvious that he was still scared of this collar, and of me.

As I got into arm's reach of Moon I thrust the collar towards his neck, I then felt a pain in my arm and the warmth of blood, the collar missed it's mark… but Moon didn't… He sunk his fangs into my arm and tasted me blood. He immediately recoiled and ran from the room, busting through the door. The last thing I saw were his back paws turning the corner before I blacked out from blood loss, he must have hit an artery, I then knew that I was going to die… here and now.

I didn't know what I was doing, I just wanted to run, run from what just happened, run from Kyle, run from that collar of his, just run. The movements of my body felt more natural than before. I did not feel like I was in control, more like I was being guided by pure instinct. I had no plan, I just went with what my body told me. I darted into the nearest woods and took a rest, my pants felt bigger on me than they had before, I removed them to find that my legs were once again digitigrade like those of a canine. This discovery did not affect me in the least though, it just made me feel more natural in my own body. I stood up and tripped over a rock, I stumbled a bit before falling backwards, I yelped in pain as I landed on my tail… that's when I realized I had a tail, I lifted my shirt to see that everything from my waist down was covered in fur, and it was nice. I missed the feeling of fur, it was warm, and soft, and cozy, and…

I woke up to the sun beating down on my face, while I was rubbing the sleep from my eyes I heard a loud growl, it seemed my stomach was already wide awake, I quickly picked up the scent of meat, I hoped that it was a Deerling or a Sawsbuck, then I could get some nutrition in with my protein, plus, of all the Pokemon I had eaten they were my favorite. I followed the scent to discover a blood stained Lycanroc, it seemed I just smelled the blood from its recent meal. That is when it hit me that Lycanrocs were not native to Texas, it was a midday Lycanroc so the blood stains on its fur were obvious. That is when I realized that it was its own blood, it's arm was badly injured and its fur was matted and crusted over with the dried blood. The scent of this Lycanroc was familiar but I couldn't quite place it, but I would have to worry about that later, first I needed to help the Pokemon, it was one of my own after all.

That is it for this chapter, I'm sure I made it super obvious what happened to the new Lycanroc but you will still have to wait till the next update to find out. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and as always thanks for reading and have a great night/day
