"Sigh..." I sighed as I walked down the street of NYC. People were bumping into me every second, not caring about anything except themselves. "..." I put my hood over my head. 'This was worth the trip and the wait...' I said, looking down at the plastic bag that contained a copy of the brand new Pokemon game, Pokemon Sun. After what seemed like forever, I finally arrived at my apartment building. I walked inside, took the elevator upstairs, and walked into my apartment. "Phew..." I said, closing the door behind me. "...?" I yawned. 'Why did I get so tired out of nowhere...?' I thought, getting a bit puzzled. "I guess I should take a nap then..." I shrugged, as I walked into my room, and plopped onto my bed. I fell asleep soon after.

...?

Is it just me, or does something feel...

Off..?

I feel like I'm falling..!

"Ngh... Wha... WAIT, WHAAAAAT?!?!" I slowly opened my eyes, and realized that I actually was falling!!! "WHAT THE HELL?!?" I shouted. I looked around. I saw weird birds in the air, casually soaring in the sky. "Okay, first things first, skydiving maneuvers...!" I said, spreading out my arms and my legs. 'Wait... Why isn't it changing my falling speed...?' I thought. I felt... Weird. As if I wasn't coordinated with my body. I looked at my hands, and they looked normal...? I looked up slightly and saw that I now had blonde hair with a streak of red in the front. I felt the top of my head, and I had... Animal Ears?! "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" I said. I looked behind me, and I had a tail with a large stick sticking out of it. I then stopped looking at my new features, and realized that I was about to hit the ground.

Thunk!!!!

???'s POV:
The next day...

"I'm telling you, I definitely heard something, or someone shouting near the beach!" I said. "Zak, it must be your imagination." My friend, Flare, said, smiling. "If no one believes me, then I'll go check it out myself!" I said, running off. "Zak! Wait!" Flare yelled. I didn't listen, and I ran towards the beach. "Jeez flare... You're too worried for being a houndoom!" I said under my breath. I kept running down the path that led to the beach. My black and red hair that was tied back with a blue bead was flailing through the air behind me, as I jumped over tree roots and stones. I finally arrived at the beach. "...!" My eyes widened as I realized that I was right! "I KNEW IT!" I said. "Well, I guess you were right, Zak!" I turned around to see... Flare? "You followed me?" I asked. "You're way too irresponsible for a seventeen year old." Flare huffed. "Sigh... Let's just go..." I sighed, walking in the soft sand that lined the shore. "A... Braxien?" I asked. "Looks like he must've fallen from somewhere..." Flare said, looking around. "But... If there aren't any tall trees nearby, then... Where did he fall from?" I asked. "That's what's making me curious..." Flare said. "Hey, you okay?" I poked the Braxien's face, waiting for a reply. "Ngh..." He slowly opened his eyes. "Oh! He's awake!" I said happily. "Huh...?" He blinked a few times, then a few more times, then his eyes widened and he looked panicked! "Ah! W-w-where am I?!" He said, immediately sitting up and looking around. "Let's take him back to the guild, he looks like he needs some medical attention..." Flare said, probably spotting the scratches on his face and arms. "WHO ARE YOU?! AND.. W-WHAT ARE YOU?!" He shouted. "Take it easy. I'm Flare, and this is Zak." Flare said, in a friendly tone. "...?" He looked at us weirdly. I frowned. "He must've gotten attacked..." I said. "That's a definite possibility, considering the amount of Pokemon that have lost it because of the tremors happening." Flare said, helping the guy up. "..." He suddenly fell, but Flare caught him. "He's probably very exhausted. Let's take him back to base." Flare said, as he hoisted the Braxien onto his back. "O-okay!" I said, following him.
