Chapter 3: Trio of Trouble
"I'm telling you! There was a f****** Oshawott in the girls cabin! It must have been a little pervert or something!" The burly girl screamed as she shook the driver senseless.
"It was ALIIIIIIVE!" Vi and Sarah both yelled.
The poor guy didn't know what to make of this. There had been a bunch of screaming and then these girls had started shouting about an Oshawott running around. There was only one explanation. Mew. 'That stupid pink pom-pom.' He complained in his head. 'Why did you have to transform someone so soon!?'
"We need to get out of her RIGHT NOW!" The girl continued to yell at him.
"...Okay, has she gone insane?" One boy asked.
"I AM NOT CRAZY!" She yelled at him, pointing to Vi and Sarah. "They saw it as well! Tell them!"
"Yeahyeahyeahyeah! I thought it was a doll!" Sarah cried out.
"It was quite cute!" Vi added.
Most of the campers just stared at them. "Okay...your all insane." The same boy finished.
"I believe them."
Everyone turned to the voice. It belonged to a 16 year old girl, with tanned yellow skin. She was average height, about 1.5 meters tall, and had spiky black hair reaching the base of her neck, the fringe partially covering her yellowish-brown eyes. She was lean, and had bandages covering her right forearm, with an...odd, scar on the back of her right hand. Why odd? It looked faintly like an eye. She was wearing an unzipped dark green hoodie over a red sleeveless slinglet, with tan/brown pants and a lighter brown waist pouch. She was Azura Namae, but she wasn't gonna tell them that.
Sitting beside her was a 16 year old boy with a slightly dark skin tone, and about 1.6 metres tall. He had dark brown hair, streaked with red. His hair was quite straight, only spiking up at his forehead and barely touching his eyes. He was more muscular than the girl he was sitting next to, but it wasn't much to brag about. He wore a pale yellow singlet, and a long sleeved red jacket with black tribal-style flames on it. He also wore a pair of grey pants. He was Ray, the 'tag-along' of the duo.
"Who the hell are you?" A girl snorted.
"Namae." Azura replied with a glare. "And I say these three are right, so any of you got a problem with that!?" She dared them in a fiery tone. No-one dared to reply.
"Yeah, I believe 'em too." Chris said as he stepped forward with Janine behind his back.
"Why?" A girl asked.
He smirked. "'Cause I'd be able to catch me a real pokemon of course!"
Another boy stepped forward. He looked about 15 but was pretty small. He had a small cap on his green bandanna over his black hair with camp shorts and a black jacket over a tank top. This boy was Jake, a boy who was one of those not note-worthy types. "Sure, I believe them as well."
The two nervous boys, Louis and Gael also stepped forward. "Y-Yeah, it does sound...pretty cool." Louis mumbled.
"T-That's true..." Gael agreed.
The girls all beamed at the fact that people actually believed them. The driver rolled his eyes as he began scanning the giant group. It would be almost impossible to find out which one of them it was.
Liz stood up. "Well, I think a real pokemon running around is a good excuse to get Elin up." She said as she walked into the boys cabin.
'Oh yeah, the boy who was sick earlier...' The driver thought to himself. 'Didn't they say he looked pretty white and-...oooooh dear.'
Liz ran back out of the cabin. "...We have a problem." Was all she said.
Pretty soon everyone was crowded around and discussing the boys disappearance. "He couldn't have just wandered off, Elin's not like that." Harrison said.
"I agree." Michael spoke up. "But where did he go then?"
"You don't think he was...kidnapped, do you?" Kana asked as Rei watched on from a nearby tree.
"I don't think so!" The youngest girl, Nina said. "He's just...misplaced, that's all."
"Well, SOMEBODY'S gonna have to look for him." Daniel stated.
"Are you mad? We can't go out into the forest just to look for one person!" A boy yelled, causing an argument to break out.
Melanie curled herself into a ball, she was worried about this boy too, and she wanted to look for him. But she didn't dare say anything, the people around her were all too loud.
Before they could continue everyone gasped as a rainbow veil covered the sky before quickly fading.
"...Am I high?" Chris asked.
"I think we all saw that." Azura glared at him.
"...Are we all high?" Chris continued, to which Azura sighed in anger.
The driver gritted his teeth. Now she does it. NOW she does it! Typical pinkie Amazonian.
"Great...now we're ALL insane!" A girl yelled, firing the argument back up.
"I have a suggestion."
Everyone turned to the voice, stopping their shouting. The 16 year old boy in question was of average build, with a height of 5'11. He had short brown hair with matching eyes, and was wearing a bomber jacket over a plain white shirt. He had dark blue trousers and black shoes, with a pair of black sunglasses resting on his forehead.
"...And why the hell should we listen to you?" A boy spoke up.
The driver walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Everyone, meet Sean Garamond. Also known as 'The Commander', he's a state and national chess champion. His strategies are very well-thought out."
"I don't care if he's Santa Clause and hot-dog eating world champion!" The boy yelled again. "What's this guy got that makes him so special?"
The driver found this kid really annoying, so he gave him a discreet blast of psychic energy. Not enough to hurt him, but to make him follow along. His eyes glazed over for a bit before going back to normal. "Okay then, let's hear him out."
Sean nodded. "Obviously one of us is missing, and in a large forest such as this, that's definitely a problem. Especially if he was taken by anyone dangerous. My suggestion is that we all split up and fan out, and we'll signal to each other by shouting. If there is someone out there, well, there ARE 59 of us, we'll be able to stay close to each other."
The large group looked between themselves. "Sounds like a plan to me." Daniel nodded.
"I like it! We can find that guy AND stick together!" Nina cheered.
"Sure, I'm up for it." Leon nodded.
Connor remained silent. He didn't really care if they found Elin or not, he was probably dead already. It was just a massive waste of time to him.
"Then it's decided." Sean nodded. "I believe I'll go on my own."
"I'll go solo as well." Liz said.
"That would be my decision as well." Harrison said.
"Vi! Vi! We should look for Elin together!" Sarah suggested.
"Yeah! That would be best!" Vi agreed.
Leon thought for a second before deciding. "I guess I'll go on my own, but I'm walking the same way as you two."
"Hey Rei! We're gonna look together, okay!?" Kana called up, to which Rei just nodded and climbed down.
"SOMEBODY GET ME A ROCK AND SONE SAFARI BALLS! I'm gonna catch me a real pokemon!" Chris declared as he walked off with Janine in tow.
Louis, Gael and Melanie all decided to go solo, it would be better to be away from everyone after all...
Connor just snorted. He wasn't gonna risk his ass for Elin, so he went behind the boys cabin to wait.
Victoria was obviously going on her own, she just wanted to be alone...again...
Daniel and Michael decided to go together when Nina walked up to them. "Hey, um, not that your my last resort or anything, okay maybe you are but...can I come with you guys?"
Daniel shrugged. "Sure, why not?"
The guy with the DBZ T-Shirt and the girl with green hair also decided to go solo, for different reasons.
"Right, come on then Ray. Whether we see a pokemon or this guy will get something out of it." Azura said as she jumped to her feet.
Ray sighed. "Okay, can we make it quick though?" He then stood up and brushed himself down.
"Um, I guess I'll go on my own as well." Jake mumbled.
Everybody else decided to go solo.
"Are we all agreed?" Sean asked, to which everyone nodded. "Okay, be careful." Everyone then went into the surrounding woods.
As soon as they had all left the driver stormed off into the woods to give a certain legendary a piece of his mind.

"Haaaauuuck! Haaauuuuck!" I was attempting to summon as much phlegm as possible.
Grace walked over to me. "What are you doing, Elin?"
"I'm trying to use Water Gun." I said, going back to my phlegm summoning.
Grace giggled. "Elin, you won't be able to learn Water Gun yet, the best you should know is Tackle and Growl."
I looked at her. "Those moves? Aw man..."
Grace smiled. "Well...how should I put this?"
I continued to stare. "What?"
"Well, in pokemon years...your five months old."
I just continued to stare at her. "...Pardon?"
"...Your practically a baby Oshawott." Grace confirmed.
"...WHY!?" I could only ask.
"The transformation sets you back a...few years." Grace said, stifling a giggle.
I sat down in defeat. "I'm a baby pokemon..."
"MEW!"
We all turned to the voice as we saw..."Is that the driver?" I asked Grace.
Mew floated up to the driver. "Oh, hey there!"
The driver glared at Mew. "Where is he!? Where is Elin!?"
"Why's he looking for me!?" I squeaked in fear...wait, I SQUEAKED in fear!?
The driver stormed over to me and got up RIGHT in my face, making me recoil in fear. "So your an Oshawott huh?...Your kinda cute."
I blushed with dignity...wait, wrong thing to be concerned about. "How can you can understand me!?"
The driver sighed before his body distorted in a reflection like light, reforming into a familiar looking red Legendary.
"...wait...YOUR A LATIAS!?" I screamed.
He...SHE rolled her eyes. "Yeah." She said in a much more feminine voice. "That's another thing, Mew! Why did I have to disguise myself as a sweaty, stinky old guy!?"
"Because stereotypical bus drivers are always sweaty, stinky old guys!" Mew yelled back as the two began arguing.
I just shot my head between the two. "But, how, why when, where...I DON'T UNDERSTAND!" I yelled.
Grace placed a comforting paw on my shuolder. "Well, we had to have SOMEONE bring you here, and since Latias is the best at air distortion for disguises, she was picked."
I continued to watch the two fight. "Are they...friends?"
Grace shrugged. "Sometimes."

Liz walked through the forest, kicking random pebbles out of her way and scanning the area for a real Oshawott or Elin.
Liz was an energetic girl, no doubt about that, the type to live by the phrase 'Act first, ask questions later.', it's a good phrase to live by. She had actually gone to the tournament in order to get away from one thing...exams. She had a few weeks before her next exam, and she was thankful for the break, but this was just a bit unsettling. She decided to take the bet after the...*Shudder* traumatic experience of a week without electricity. She could've been back at her house, wasting ti-...er...studying hard, but then this had to happen.
To be honest, she didn't see much of Elin before moving on in secondary school. He was the type of guy to put himself in a bubble and get lost from the simplest directions. She saw him a few times throughout the years, and surprisingly, he started talking to her before they received their results. She guessed it was just because they would be in the same form next year, but he turned out to be a good friend, just acting stupid for the sake of acting stupid. He wasn't her best mate, but pretty high up, Top 5 around about. Why would she be looking for him solo after-all?
Anyway, after that weird light show, she was having a bit of heartburn, she didn't know why. "Must've eaten something." She groaned to herself as the fire in her chest started...rising? The fire was rising into her throat, and then her mouth...
...until she gasped and shot out a giant fireball.
Liz covered her mouth with both of her hands and wide eyes. 'Did...DID I JUST BREATH FIRE!?" She screamed in her head.
Her head began to feel funny as a familiar burning sensation ran down her spine, and she yelped as she felt something quickly shoot out at the base of her spine, out through her trousers and behind her back.
'Okay...okay...no need to panic.' She kept telling herself in a hurried tone. 'I-I've just gotta check what...THAT, is.' She tentatively grabbed the thing, which was quite furry, and brought it around into her vision, to make her scream.
In her hands was a long copper red tail with a curved end. She tried to calm herself as she gave it a quick experimental tug, crying out as a quick bolt of pain shot through her, unfortunately convincing her that it was HER tail!
"THISISMYTAIL!" She screamed in pure panic.
"Hello?" She almost screamed again as she turned towards, hiding her tail behind her back as that boy, Sean, emerged from a bush. "Are you okay?"
"Yep! Perfectly fine!" Liz said as she tried to keep her voice as calm as possible.
Sean raised an eyebrow. "I think I heard you shout 'Thisismytail'."
"Oh...Oh that?" Liz said with a nervous smile. "Ummm...nope, you must've been hearing things."
Sean just stared at her. Her nervous attitude and hands constantly behind her back emphasised the fact that she was hiding something, but he didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable. "Are you okay?"
"Yep, tooootally fine."
"Are you sure? I mean, if you need help with anything-"
"I'm fine! Really!" Liz said in a hurry. This guy was literally being too nice, he was even worse then Elin!
He nodded. "Okay, I'll be nearby, so just say if you need anything."
"Okay, thank yoEOW!" She cried as she felt another bolt of fire, to her fear she now had to hide two giant furry tails.
Sean turned back to her. "Pardon?"
"Nothing!" She said with a fake smile.
Sean obviously knew something was wrong, he would fake leaving and then go and see if he could find anyone to help him assist her. "Okay." he said with a shrug, feigning ignorance. As he started to walk back into the bush he gave her a sideways glance, whilst half-looking at the sky. "Have you noticed how the sky looks so different?"
"...What?" Liz asked.
Sean smiled. "Just thinking aloud." He mused as he walked away, just as another tail sprouted behind Liz.
The girl now grabbed all three of her tails in anger. "Okay, sure, THREE TAILS! WHY NOT! Any others showing up!?" As she said that three more tails shot up. "Me and my big mouth..."
The fire in her chest then began spreading throughout her body, and she tightly shut her mouth to stop her screaming as copper fur began sprouting all over her body, with white fur growing along her chest and stomach. Her spine began snapping as she fell on her hands and knees, the bones reforming to suite a quadrupedal body along with her legs and arms, turning into hind and front legs respectively. Her fingers shrunk down and formed into paws, Liz was seriously freaking out now, going past the level of panic into full insane running around mode, stumbling over her new feet.
"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO ME!?" She attempted to yell, but instead it came out as-
"VULP VUL VULPIX VULPIX PIX VULPIX!"
Her eyes widened in shock as she tried to cover her mouth, only for her face to fall into the dirt due to the lack of frontal support. 'Oh god...a Vulpix...that's what I'm turning into!'
Her long purple hair started to curl more and more, until they became three purple curls on her head which greatly contrasted with her new copper fur. Her ears began slowly moving up until they stood on top of her head on either side of her curls, turning into a more triangle shape. Finally, her eyes enlarged and dyed over a deep brown as she closed them in pain. Her mouth stretched out into a muzzle with a brown nose and her teeth sharpened, as she shrunk down into her own clothes. Afterwards, a Vulpix with purple curls crawled out of the clothes.
She gave her tails a few twitches as she looked at new self. 'I can't believe I'm a Vulpix...' She thought to herself as she scrunched up her face in a mixture of a frown, a sad expression, and glare.
"This isn't FAAAAIIIR!" "Vulp Vul PIIIIIIIX!"
As she screamed at the sky a thick stream of flames suddenly shot out of her mouth and into the blue. "VUUUUUL!" She screamed in shock as she continued to let loose multiple Flamethrowers into the sky.

As me and Grace were waiting for Mew and Latias to finish their little dispute, we happened to see a stream of fire shoot out into the sky. "Woah! What's that!?" I yelled in shock.
Grace looked over at smile. "I believe that's a friend of yours."
I looked at her. "What do you mean?"
She started walking away. "Come on, I think she'll need your support. Let's leave Mew and Latias to settle their dispute."
So I stood up and followed her, we walked for a while until we found a Vulpix shooting flames into the sky...and it had purple curls.
"Do you recognise her?" Grace asked.
"...Is...is that Liz!?" I asked in disbelief.
Grace nodded. "Yes, I think you'll need to help calm her down."
I tapped my scalchop with determination and walked forward. "...Liz?"
She stopped shooting fire into the sky and looked at me with large brown eyes. "Y...You're that Oshawott aren't you?" Even her voice sounded higher. "How the hell do you know my name!? Your just saying your own name again, HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO ME!?" She backed away in fear.
"Liz, calm down." I tried to reassure her. "It's me...Elin."
She shook her head in disbelief. "Your lying, you have to be!"
Before I could continue I heard some bushes rustling. 'Crud!' I thought in my head as I grabbed the closest thing to me, one of Liz's tails, and pulled her into the bush alongside Grace.
"OW! That hurts! What are you-" I clamped my scalchop over her mouth.
A few boys suddenly turned up. "You sure she was around her, Sean?" One boy asked.
The leader, 'Sean', nodded. "Positive, she was very distressed."
On e of the boys shrugged. "Maybe she just went back to the camp."
Sean sighed. "I hope so, I think she needs help. Just keep an eye out for her, okay?" All of them nodded as they split up again.
I sighed as I released my scalchop and placed it back on her stomach. Liz instantly backed away and looked at the two of us. "So there's a Shiny Glaceon as well!? Just what the hell is going on and how do you know me!?"
I thought about how I could convince her for a second, but then I thought of something. "On November 11th 2013 we had a Link Battle on X and Y. Your Delphox beat my Quilladin, Doublade and Wartortle, and your Xerneas beat my Fletchinder, Combusken and Tyrunt, it was a completely humiliating defeat. I like chicken."
Her now brown eyes widened. "...Elin? It's really you?"
i nodded. "Yep."
She continued to stare at me. "So, you were the perverted Oshawott."
"I was dragged in there after pretending to be a doll." I replied.
She nodded. "Good plan." We just stood there for a second before her ears drooped and she started crying. "Why am I a Vulpix?"
I gave her a quick reassuring hug, she was fuzzy and warm now. "I...don't know fully myself. But I do know that we've been chosen or something like that."
She used one of her paws to dry her eyes. "Well, if your okay with it, then sure, why not?"
I smiled. "I think your a pretty cute Vulpix."
She glared at me and let loose a Flamethrower in my face. "AHHHH!" I screamed as I tried to pat out the flames, thankfully Grace gave me a quick Icy Wind to blow it away.
"Thank you." Liz smiled, turning to Grace. "So, who are you?"
Grace 'curtseyed' to her again. "I'm Grace, it's very nice to meet you. Would you like to come with us?"
Liz tilted her head. "Well, I don't think I'm gonna be going anywhere else."
I then looked at Grace after patting the soot out of my vision. "Hey Grace, you don't get cursed if you pull a Vulpix tail do you?"
Grace shook her head. "That only applies to Ninetails'." mI sighed in relief.

"Pink Hollowhead!"
"Red Garbodor!"
"You did not just say that you little minx!"
"I so did you floating tank!"
"You take that back!"
"Not until you do!"
The two Legendaries continued to bicker like children, unaware that they were being watched by a boy with square glasses.
Harrison had been looking around when he had accidentally stumbled on the arguing pokemon, to say he was shocked would be an understatement. He had decided to study them a bit more, obviously having no idea what they were saying, just watching.
His lack of ill intentions had allowed him to be there, unknowing of this fact he just continued to watch the two fly around each other, unbelieving of the fact that they were right. "This is incredible..." He managed to whisper to himself, as if he was convincing himself he was still awake. Suddenly more pokemon emerged from the foliage opposite where he was hiding, an Oshawott, a Vulpix, and a Shiny Glaceon. The trio came over to the two legendaries, who had stopped arguing to look at them. The Vulpix's eyes widened and it's ears stuck to its head in fear, the Oshawott patted the Vulpix and repeated its name a few times as a way of talking. The Vulpix eventually relaxed and walked up to the two, who started a conversation with it.
*Groooowl!* Harrison cursed in his head as he clutched his needy stomach, it was obviously gonna give him away. He threw his head left and right to search for something to eat, luckily there was a fully fertile apple bush next to him. 'This oughta do the trick.' He thought himself as he plucked an apple and instantly took a few bites out of it. But still his stomach grumbled. 'Stupid thing!' He cursed in his head as he had to eat more apples to avoid giving himself away.
He was so busy eating apples that he didn't notice the changes taking place. Thick dark grey fur grew all over his body as his legs shrank back into his body, leaving circular yellow feet that had three spikes for toes grow out of them. Soon his head squashed into a spherical shape, as his ears moved to the top of his head and stretched out into two furry spikes. He only noticed something was off when he started shrinking.
'What the hell?' He thought as he finally noticed the thick fur, weird feet and strange ears. 'WHAT. THE. HEEEEEEEELL!?"

As Liz was introduced tyo Mew and Latias we suddenly heard loads of screaming. "What's that?" Latias asked as we turned to the screams, to see a moving pile of clothes.
"I believe that's another of your friends, Elin." Grace stated.
I just stared at the pile of clothes as a short boy with thick fur, two tall ears on his head, weird feet, and a circular head emerged from them, but he was wearing square glasses as well. "...HARRISON!?" I yelled in shock.
The mid-changed Harrison turned to me. "Oh great! Now I can understand you! STUPID EARS!" He began tugging on his own ears.
It was weird, seeing someone change when it wasn't happening to you. Yellow fur grew in a circle on his stomach and around his lower jaw, as two small fangs grew out of his lower mouth. His glasses fell off as he shrunk even further and his arms shortened, his gingers going incredibly stubby.
"Him as well!?" Liz said in shock.
"I guess Harrison is...'compatible'." Was all I could say.
"...Wanna take a guess?" She said.
"What?"
"Take a guess on what he's turning into."
"I'M NOT ENTERTAINMENT!" Harrison yelled.
"...I guess Murkrow." I said finally.
"Umbreon." Liz guessed.
"STOP IT!" "MUNCHLAX!" Harrison's eyes went wide.
"Munchlax." I nodded.
"Ooooh, yep, now I see it, Munchlax." Liz agreed.
Soon Harrison's eyes changed as well, as he was now a Munchlax...but there was something...off.
"There's something...off, about him." I voiced my mind.
"WH-WHAT!?" Harrison yelled in Pokespeak. "How can I even understand you!? And what's wrong!?"
Mew flew over and giggled. "This is great! Your a skinny Munchlax!"
Harrison looked at himself to see that instead of a wide body, it was actually quite thin, the fur still...poofy enough to hide stuff in it. But seriously, it was like a furry cylinder.
Harrison picked up his glasses and clumsily put them on, only for them to fall off now that he didn't have ears on the side of his head. "Deep breaths...deep breaths..." He said before he started hyperventilating and passed out.
We all crowded over him. "Is he dead?" Mew asked as she got a stick and started poking him with it.
"Stop poking him!" I cried. "He's gone into shock!"
Latias picked him up. "I'll go and do the tests for you Grace."
Grace nodded with a smile. "Thank you Latias. Liz, you go with Latias, okay?"
Liz looked at me for advice. "It's harmless." I waved it off.
She nodded. "Okay, see you soon." She then followed Latias with the unconcious Harrison into the foliage.
"So both your friends are compatible." Mew mused aloud.
"Yeah...in a way, I'm kinda happy they're with me." I smiled. "So, waiting game again?"
Mew nodded. "Yep! Wanna play I-Spy again."
I gave her a half-lidded look. "After you said tree 27 times I'm a bit skeptical..."
It's finally a new chapter! I hope you liked it! And some new OC's are introduced! Ray and Azura belong to Omega Zekrom, Jake belongs to Razzarow, and Sean belongs to Jeffrey Sevens.
Sorry if this chapter feels a bit rushed, I'm still halfway through exams, but I'm trying my best here! By the way, a reviewer wrote several paragraphs on how his OC's will be introduced, and that got me a thinking. If you want YOUR OC's introduced in a specific way, or even their TF's, just describe it via PM or review! Of course, I'll do any scenes that aren't suggested. Also, if you want your character to have a character change by an event or move changes or a love interest or anything like that, alos say so in a review or PM.
HOWEVER! This only applies to people who've already sent in OC's because OC lines are now CLOSED! I've got so many OC's I'm planning to split them into three groups!
But anyway, I want to deeply thank those who reading and review this story, and thank you for being so patient, I apologize if you were waiting for this update with bated breath.
So then, see you next chapter! Thanks again!
