Chapter 2: Caught White-Faced

My eyes snapped open and I sat up with wide eyes.

I looked left and right to be met with wood and beds on either side of my vision, and that my legs were covered with cloth. It felt like I was still wearing the same clothes too.

I then realised that I was back in the boys cabin. Checking the clock next to my bed I saw it was 7:14, FAR too early for a teenager to be up.

'What the heck?' I thought, rubbing my head. 'Was that all...just a dream?'

That meeting with Mew certainly felt real...everything seemed so clear. I violently shook my head, I must be going insane.

I got out of the comfy bed and looked around, there was a sink in the corner so I went over and ran the cold tap, splashing water in my face.

I then happened to look in the mirror.

And I had to cover my mouth to stop me from screaming.

My skin was white. And not just a pale white, CHALK white, whitest of the white.

I checked my arms, they were white. Legs, same thing. My entire skin was white.

I covered my mouths with both hands and continued screaming into them. 'WHATTHEHELLWHATTHEHELLWHATTHEHELL!?' My mind zapped.

I suddenly heard some groaning behind me. I turned in shock to see several beds stirring. I quickly panicked and dashed back into bed, covering the whole of my body in white sheets.

I heard a few voices. "Urrrgghhh...What time is it?"

"Oh come on! It's only 7:17! Who the hell woke us up!?"

"I...thought I heard someone screaming."

"You were just hearing things Louis, stupid girl."

"Hey! He's not a girl!" That was definitely Harrison's voice.

"Why are you sticking up for him, Square-Eyes?"

"Real original you dick."

"Why are YOU speaking, Chris?"

Chris? That was a new name. I carefully peeked over the covers to see that guy with the mohawk talking.

"None of your business! Piss off!"

"What the f*** did you say!?"

I just hid underneath the covers, I don't agree with confrontations. In the meantime I kept looking at my ghostly skin and trying to convince myself that this was a dream, panicking the whole time.

I eventually felt a presence fall over me. "Hey Elin!" I heard Leon say. "We need to be getting up now! The driver said we were starting a mini tournament! And hey, You think you could help me get your mate Harrison out of bed? He sure can sleep!"

My heart was pounding away inside my chest, I raced through my brain, trying to think of a suitable excuse. So I switched to a sickly tone. "Uh...I can't Leon...*Cough*...I don't feel well..."

He tried to lift the covers, but I kept a firm grip on them. "Do you want me to find a doctor or something?"

"No!" I said with too much urgency. "I mean...I'm sure it will...*Cough*...pass eventually."

I heard someone walk over. "What's going on?" It was Harrison.

"Looks like Elin's sick." Leon said.

"Elin? Sick? Elin's never sick!"

Curse my effective immune system.

I felt Harrison push me. "Come on, Elin. I know you're not the lazy type."

I clutched my covers as tightly as possible. To be honest, I really wasn't starting to feel well.

Yet another set of footsteps seemed to come over. "What's up with this guy?" It was him again, Chris.

"He's my friend, he says he's sick but-...didn't you punch that guy in the face?" Harrison said.

I could imagine him shrugging. "Yeah, he started it, he was making fun of my book."

There was a short pause. "Is that a romance novel?" I heard Leon ask.

"SHUT UP! Don't judge me!"

I snickered slightly.

"Hey! Did you just laugh?" I heard Chris shout. I instantly regretted my decision as I felt my cover shield thrown off of me. I froze when I felt three pairs of eyes stare down at me as I quickly recovered my shield.

"Woah...you do NOT look good pal." Chris said.

"Elin, maybe we SHOULD get a doctor." Harrison suggested.

"I told you, it'll pass *Cough*." I continued faking. "You guys go on without me and I'll catch up with you"

There was another pause. "Suit yourself." Chris said as I heard him walk out.

"Try and catch up as soon as you can, got it?" Leon said as he also rushed out.

I heard loads of footsteps now, probably everyone leaving. "Last chance, Elin." I heard Harrison call. "Doctor, or no doctor?"

I actually kept calm enough to roll my eyes. "I said I'm FINE! See you later."

"Okay, okay! Sheesh!" Harrison said as I heard him walk out as well.

'Phew.' I sighed inwardly as I sat up. But when I looked around I gasped as i saw that guy with the red scarf still there, sitting on his bed.

"Um, hey." I said awkwardly.

He seemed slightly startled at my voice. "O-Oh, hey." He shuffled away a bit, burying his face in his scarf, as if he was trying to escape the conversation.

"Sorry, I just didn't expect you to still be here." I shrugged.

"I-I didn't feel like going out...just yet." He mumbled. "Um...you don't...look so good...are you, um okay?"

To be honest, no. I was still freaking out inwardly and was feeling worse by the minute. But I didn't want to make him panic. "Yep! I just need a bit of rest, that's all!"

He shakily stood up and made his way to the door.

"Um, can I ask your name?" I just didn't want him to walk out feeling awkward.

He looked at me from behind his scarf. "I'm...Gael."

I smiled. "It's nice to meet you, Gael. I'm Osha."

My eyes widened and I clamped a hand over my mouth.

Gael stared at me. "P...Pardon?"

"What?" I tried to say.

"Wott?" Was what really came out.

Gael quickly opened the door. "Um...nothing, please get well soon!" He then ran out as quickly as possible.

As soon as he was gone I leaped out of bed in a panic, I ran around the room in a panic before I finally tried talking again.

"Hello?"

"Osha?"

My panic was now growing very big.

"Indescribable."

"Oshawott."

"She sells sea shells by the seashore!"

"Osha Osh Oshawott Wott Oshawott!"

"SUPERCALAFRAJALISTICEXPEALADOCIOUS!"

"OSHOSHAWOTTWOTTOSHAWOTTOSHAOSHAWOTT!"

I was seriously beginning to freak out. First the white skin, and now the only thing I can say is Oshawott! My voice had significantly risen in pitch as well!

I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I clutched it in pain and fell to the floor, as I curled up into a ball to try and endure it.

I then felt like my clothes were getting smaller. I looked around to find my own clothes caving in on me!

"Wait, I'm shrinking!"

"Osha, Oshawott!"

I then cringed again as I felt a weird, uncomfortable tingling in my hand. I looked at it and almost screamed again when I saw white fur was growing all over it! I watched as the fur grew to my chest and stomach, where it turned a light blue colour, eventually covering my face as well. When it reached the top of my head I panicked as all of my hair fell out.

I then felt my bones crack and I cried out in pain as my arms and legs began shrinking. I stared at my arms to see all my fingers shrink down until I just had stubs for hands.

'Great! I liked being able to hold things' I somehow thought to myself.

I stared at my feet as they lengthened and turned dark blue, I realized they were becoming flippers.

Hold on. White fur, only able to say Oshawott, flippers...

"Osha Oshawott!"

"I'm turning into an Oshawott!" I knew that dream was real! I really did meet Mew! And now I was turning into a pokemon!

I suddenly felt some pain at the end of my spine, and I watched in horror as a long, dark blue tail came out. My ears attached themselves to the sides of my face more and more until they were completely sucked into my skin! Then I felt two small bumps emerge from the top of my head, and I delicately touched them to find they were my new ears. I accidentally bit my tongue as my teeth sharpened into small fangs, and my nose grew rounder and wider as what felt like whiskers poked out of my face. I closed my eyes as a searing pain invaded them, I blinked twice afterwards to test them, they definitely felt different. Finally, the pain in my stomach grew more intense as I felt...something grow out of my stomach and firmly stick to it. I gave it an experimental tap to find it was quite hard. I then realised that it was MY scalchop.

Finally the pain stopped. I blinked my new eyes and sat up in my clothes which were now far too big for me. I crawled out of them and looked around at the same surroundings which now looked a lot different from this different height.

'I can't believe this! This isn't humanely possible!' I panicked in my head as I feared to speak again. I noticed the sink again and waddled over. Unfortunately I was now too small to see the mirror.

"Osha..." I sighed as I grabbed a nearby chair and dragged it over, having equal difficulty getting on top of it.

When I finally managed to reach the mirror, instead of my usual features, an Oshawott was staring back at me. The only thing that remained of me was the slight patch of white fur sticking up on the left side of my head.

I sat down on the chair in defeat. I really was a pokemon. I'd never be able to see my family again, hell I'd be lucky if I didn't get sent to the CIA or something like that!

I started to cry into my stubby hands as the severity of the situation crushed me. Once I'd had my little cry I mulled it over some more, and I decided on one thing. I had to go and see Mew! There was no doubt that she did this to me, so she can change me back!

I jumped off of the chair and rushed to the door...only to find that I was once again too small to reach it. Sighing again, I grabbed the chair, dragged it over and climbed onto it to turn the handle.

I hopped off of the chair and opened the door cautiously, looking left and right for fear someone might spot me and send me off to animal testing. I ran out of the door and quickly rushed to the girls cabin, hiding behind one of the wooden walls as I looked around. I spotted everybody else gathered around the campfire, and I found myself listening in using my new ears.

"Whaddya mean he's sick?" Liz pouted.

"He was really pale, like ghostly pale, and he didn't sound well at all." Harrison sighed.

"Really? Is he okay?"

"He said so, but I know he's faking it."

"Well then let's go and check up on him!" She said as she grabbed Harrison's arm and dragged him along.

'NONONONONO!' I shouted at them in my head.

"Hey you two!" The driver/leader suddenly yelled. "You can check up on your friend later, let him rest for now."

Liz crossed her arms and glared at the driver as she and Harrison sat back down, I sighed in relief.

"Do you think he'll be alright?" I was surprised to hear this new voice. I peeked out and saw that it was that shy blond girl from before, with Chris sitting beside her as usual.

"Don't worry, Janine. He'll be alright." Chris reassured her. Janine seemed to be comforted by this as she settled down.

"All right everyone, listen up!" Everyone turned to the driver on his call. "First thing today is a simple tournament, so go and grab your DS or 3DS and meet me in the large shack over there!" He jabbed a thumb at the main wooden building. "Oh, and MAKE SURE they're CHARGED!"

Practically everyone rolled their eyes.

I then gasped as all the girls started to head towards the shack I was hiding behind! 'Crud!' I shouted in my head as I looked around in a panic. Seeing no other alternative I did the only thing I could do.

I played doll. Slumped against the wall with a large Oshawott smile and tried to make my eyes look as glassy and lifeless as possible.

Practically all the girls ran past without noticing me. I was about to stand back up and wipe the sweat of my brow when-

"EEEEEEK! OHMYGOSH IT'S SO CUTE!"

I quickly regained my slumping position as none other then Sarah ran in front of me and picked me up. "Your just so adorable!" She squealed as she cradled me in her arms. "Your the most realistic Oshawott doll I've ever seen!"

'At least I'm convincing...' I thought as she nuzzled her face against mine.

"I wonder if you belong to anyone." She thought aloud, glancing from left to right to find a potential 'owner'. "Well, don't worry, I'll take care of you for now!" She then skipped into the girls dorm with me in her arms.

When we got in she sat me down upright on her bed and looked at me with her head in her hands. "I wonder who made you? You look very nice and clean, SOMEONE has to look after you."

Wow, I didn't realise she was the perceptive type.

She then took my new scalchop. "Wow! This even comes off!" She marvelled, rolling the shell in her hands.

To be honest, I didn't like my scalchop being away from me, I felt uncomfortable and...I dunno...incomplete.

Thankfully though, she returned the scalchop to my stomach. She then picked me up and started turning me over, for a moment I was confused until I realised she was looking for a label on me.

"Hey Sarah! What have you got there?"

I resisted the urge to turn my head and look at the new voice. Thankfully Sarah turned me to face her.

This girl looked about 13, but her warm, expressive brown eyes seeemed to hold a lot more experience. She had a short, lithe build, with very lean muscle, but she wasn't skinny. She had strawberry blonde hair in a short bob, with a pink highlight streak on the left side of her hair. She was wearing a Pokemon t-shirt with matching jeans, as well as an olive green cadet hat with a Pokeball pin on the right side.

"Oh, Vi! Look at this! Isn't this the best Oshawott doll you've ever seen, ever?" Sarah held me out to 'Vi', who gently took me.

"Wow! It's so soft!" She giggled. "Hey there little guy, I'm Viviana Song, but you can call me Vi!"

I kept my glassy look as firm as possible, but it was starting to wear off in the uncomfortable position.

"Oh my god! That is so cool!" Vi suddenly yelled.

"Whatwhatwhatwhatwhat!?" Sarah practically shouted.

"Look! It can turn red!" Vi exclaimed.

'Red?' I thought to myself. I then realised that I was blushing, so I cursed myself inwardly and tried to get rid off it without moving.

Unfortunately Sarah started pulling on my face. "Come ooooon! How did you do that!?" It was getting harder and harder to hold this face, especially now that it was being stretched and pulled like putty.

Suddenly a big and burly girl approached the other two from behind. "What the hell is taking you two so long!? Everybody else has gone!"

The two smaller girls jumped at the bigger ones voice as Vi hid me behind her back. "Nothing." They said in unison.

Unfortunaetly the older girl could easily see me behind Vi's back. "An Oshawott doll? Really? How old are ya!?"

"17." Vi replied, which made my eyes widen for a split second.

"I didn't mean literally!" The larger female yelled. "Give it here!" She reached around Vi and grabbed my tail. As she yanked me into the air a massive bolt of pain shot through my spine.

"Ouch!" "Osha!" I screamed, which caused the older female to drop me onto the floor. I winced as I rubbed my back and gave my tail a few experimental up-down movements to see if it had been broken. Thankfully not.

I then looked up to see all three girls staring down at me with giant eyes.

"Oops." "Osha."

"AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!" All three screamed straight in my ear. I picked myself up and made a dash for the door.

"THAT THINGS F***** MOVING!" The burliest of the three yelled.

"IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE!" Vi was screaming as I tried the door. Closed! Damn my new stupid height!

I turned to see the giant closing in on me with a murderous aura. "Aright pal, let's make this easy." As she leapt for me I jumped on top of her head and back onto Sarah's bed, instantly running and climbing out the open window.

I ran to the center and began panicking again, soon everyone would be on me. I was trying to make some kind of recollection of which way I had gone to see Mew.

When I heard several doors being opened I sprinted as fast as my flippers could carry me into the familiar looking forest.

I heard loud voices back where I had just come from, but I didn't dare stop running or look back, throwing now giant leaves out of my face.

Eventually I was so exhausted I collapsed onto the leafy floor, breathing heavily.

"Mew, Mewmew?" "Are you okay, Elin?"

I looked up to see a familiar pair of large crystal blue eyes staring down at me. "M-Mew..." "O-Osh..."

She offered me a paw to help me up, I looked at her. We were still just saying our names over and over again in Pokespeak, but, I somehow KNEW what she was saying. "How come I can understand you?" I asked, stilll coming out as just my new species name.

"All pokemon can understand each other in their own unique way." She explained, no longer needing to use telepathy. "Please come with me, Elin." She turned and started floating along.

"W-Wait." I said, stopping her. "You turned me into an Oshawott, right?"

She turned to me. "Yes, you accepted your destiny."

"I didn't realise it would turn me into a pokemon!" I yelled. "I was almost caught! I tripped over my tail several times running to find you!" I then realised something. "I just said my tail! MY! TAIL! Those two words shouldn't go together!" I sighed. "Look Mew, I just want you to change me back."

Mew looked at me sadly. "I'm sorry Elin, but I can't. Not until the job is done."

"Well I want OUT of the job! I'm not cut out for this! I'm terrrible at athletics and sport and stuff like that!" I was just listing reasons now.

I looked at her and I saw she was crying. "I know...I have taken away so much from you, just to fulfill my own purpose. You must despise me..."

I instantly felt guilty and looked down in shame. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you so upset." I grinned. "Besides, now that I think about it, being an Oshawott could be pretty cool!"

Mew instantly perked up. "You really are kind, Elin. And I swear on my honour as a Legendary that once the job is done, I'll return you to your human form. Now, please come with me." She floated deeper into the forest as I plodded along behind her.

"So...what's this 'destiny' that made you turn me into a pokemon?" I asked.

She giggled. "We'd best wait until a few others show up. I don't want to repeat myself several times."

I raised a no-longer-existing eyebrow as we came into the familiar clearing. "Others?"

She turned to me. "Your destiny is intertwined with others, you will not be working alone." She then did a twirl in midair with another giggle. "But now it's...TESTING TIME!"

"...Pardon?" Was all I could say.

"We're gonna test to see if you pass as an Oshawott!" She cheered, then turning to a nearby bush. "GRACE! Elin's here!"

The bush rustled a bit as a Shiny Glaceon walked out of it. "So this is Elin." She (Yep, I said she) said. She gave off a friendly and calm vibe, with a small warm smile to match. "I'm Grace, it's very nice to meet you." She lowered he head and bent her leg a bit, almost like a curtsy.

"It's nice to meet you too, Grace." I bowed to her. "Your really a Shiny Glaceon! That's so cool!"

"Why thank you." She accepted the compliment. "Would you like to come with me?" She asked as we both walked into the bush.

"Please don't be nervous. These two tests will be perfectly harmless." She reassured me as we came to a small lake. "First is the Type-Specific test, would you like to go for a swim?"

I shrugged. "Well, I am a Water-type."

"Exactly." She said as I lowered myself into the water.

I shivered at how cold the water was, but I adjusted more quickly then I thought. I did a few experimental swims and quickly got into it, swooping and swerving and diving and leaping dolphin style. It was amazing! I've never swam this good in my life!

I held my breath and dived underwater, looking at the beautiful rays reflecting of the surface. It was breathtaking.

So breathtaking in fact that I started breathing.

I suddenly realised what I was doing and started writhing around in shock.

Suddenly I stopped. I took a breath and didn't die.

'Oh my god...I can breathe underwater!' I cheered in my head as I swam around, happily gulping down water until I burst out and layed on my back, lazily floating along.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" Grace called.

"Yeah..." I sighed, completely content.

"Well, that's this test done, can you come back over?"

I looked at her with a pout. "Awww, do I have to?"

She smiled. "Just one more test, then you can go back in."

I grumbled as I swam back over to the shore and climbed out, shaking myself dry.

We then moved back to the clearing, where Mew was circling around the statue, just like when we'd met.

"I just thought of something, what if somebody finds us?" I asked.

Grace gave me another reassuring smile. "Mew keeps any people with ill intentions away using her psychic capabilities."

I nodded in response.

"Now then, the Pokemon-Specific test!" Grace announced. "Elin, may I please have a look at your scalchop?"

I looked down at the shell on my stomach. For some reason I didn't want to part with it, but I feebly took it off my stomach and handed it to Grace, who took it IN HER MOUTH!

"I'll take good care of it." She mumbled through my scalchop.

I started becoming restless, patting my tail against the ground. She was gonna get saliva all over it! And what if she drops it and it BREAKS!? Or what if, if, if-

"GIVE IT BACK!" I screamed abruptly. "PLEASE GRACE! GIVE ME BACK MY SCALCHOP!"

She gently handed it back to me and I frantically checked it for any sign of damage, vigorously wiping it to get it clean before placing it back in its rightful place with a sigh.

I then realised what I just did. My white face turned a deep red as I turned to Grace. "I-I'm so sorry Grace. I-I didn't know what came over me..."

"It's perfectly fine, Elin. An Oshawott's scalchop is a part of it, that type of reaction is expected. You pass!" She cheered.

"Yes!" I also cheered.

Mew floated over to us. "Congratulations, Elin!" She laughed as she clapped her paws/hands. "And just in time too! Take a look!"

All three of us looked at the glowing statue, which gshot a bright light into the sky that exploded, burying the area in a rainbow veil that quickly faded.

"Wow...What was that?" I asked.

"The statue's psychic energy is what caused your transformation." Mew spoke up. "Hhowever bringing everyone here would take too long, and most of them wouldn't be compatible! So I released all the energy so that it would be easier. Now all we have to do is wait."

"Oooh..." I said as the three of us sat down.

"Hey Elin, do you want to play a game?" Mew spoke up.

I turned to her. "What kind of game?"

"Do you have 'I-Spy' in your world?"

"What world DOESN'T have I-Spy?"

"Great! I'll start! I spy with my little eye..."
