Chapter 4-Comfort from the void...

The group of three walk on...

Well, i'm the one who's walking normally. Then again, so is Ash barefoot on four legs. '_' Misty has to push forwards, because her legs are behind her, immobile 'cept for swimming. And as usual...

Ash: >.< What do ya mean I act like a pokemon? I kinda have to!

Misty: >_> So then go pee on a tree and mark your territory...

Misty and Ash were fighting like cats and dogs...

Walter: Oh no, not again...

Oh yeah, I released Walter from the pokéball. He's happy from that. After the 3 of us (Ash, Misty, Jim) went to get a bite to eat at a local diner in Pallet, and I released him. Destroyed the pokeball. Pokeballs suck... They entrap creatures of their freedoms! Okay so Walter gave me a lecture on how pokeballs should never be used, especially in these times. Hey, he hasn't eaten in 20 something hours. Where else would I release him?

Jim: Ugh... v_v -(. . .)

They dun even hear us, again. Since no one is THAT tolerable, myself being a badass...

Jim: >_< WOULD YOU TWO SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY?!

...I finally lost it. Ash's ears perk up, and they both look at me.

Walter: o_o; Seel seel...

Jim: Would you two stop fighting?! Jeez, you're acting like a couple...

The two stop dead in their tracks.

Misty: But-

Jim: But nothing! Misty, your only repetitive comeback is that he owes you a bike..I gotta stop this... After a week of you two bein' with me, all you two do is argue!

Walter: Seeel.. Jim, settle down, please...

-Misty starts to open her mouth, but I give her a wad of $20 bills.

Jim:...there. $140. Get another bike, even though it'd be hard to ride one now...

Misty takes the money, giving a slight laugh. Ash walks toward me, and I fall to the floor on my butt, sitting down.

Walter: Seel! How'd you get that money?

Jim: Hey, I put my funds from my previous job in a bank account. I have enough for a month or two....

The other three sit down. Seel people just dun move while Ash sits his legs indian style.

Jim: -.-  ....Misty, Ash..I-

Ash: Don't be.. Pika! We should be the ones who are sorry..

Misty: T..t....thank you so much! Seel... for everything...

Walter: ::Looks at the two:: Seel seel. You two are the best of friends. Don't fight, okay?

They nod in agreement.

Jim: Eh...sorry for cursing...

Walter: Seel seel! '_- You got ticked off.

Ash: You had to blow off some steam.

Misty: Apology accepted.

Everyone stands.

Misty(thinking): Guess...I really can't complain now! Oh Jim.. Thank you! I can stop being a bother to my love..

I look at Misty.

Jim(thinking): When I told them that they fought like a couple, they both freaked out! They're in love... And I blew their cover. Sweet...

Ash(thinking): I thank you so much.. She can stop fighting now! Waiting... What will be the right time to tell her how I feel?

Ash and Misty look at me in thought. I smirk.

Walter(thinking): Oh? Wonder why they're all like that... I should break the silence!

Walter: Hey guys, where exactly are we going? Seeeeel?

Jim: ::Does a quick sigh of relief:: Yeah guys, where to?

oO Crap, forgot all of us are walking along some city. Looks like a PokéN.Y.C..

Ash: She's a pokémon pika breeder.

Misty: Ya, Seel. She owns a pokémon salon.

An unknown creature starts running away from a salon, 100ft ahead of the sidewalk we're currently on.

???: Gah......

Walter: Seel SEEL? Like that where that shady creature is?

Ash & Misty hold their breath...

Ash:....Mew.......

Misty:.......Two.......

The creature stops in front of us. A thick light purple aura covers the creature, but humanish MewTwoish features. It's head looked like it turned,looking at me. It's voice was bold, but sounded of a teen..

??? ...you......

Jim: Hmph. So you do exist..

It moves it's left arm to 'point' at me.

???:....monster......

I unsheathe my handguns, and release their safeties, aiming the guns toward the unknown creature.

Jim: Speak for yourself... All you wanna do is TF innocents at random by psi pokémon/human fusion.. Yet your true motives are unknown. Hypocrite..

Ash gasps.. And the MewTwoPKH runs away from us. Had to try to stop the guy, ...and I opened fire on him. Bullets sink into the creature's shoulder, and he roars in pain. In the blink of an eye, he vanishes out of sight.

Walter: Ash, why'd you gasp seel what Jim said?

Misty pauses as I put away my guns, as does Ash.

Misty: ....Pokémon fusion, and her place is where MewTwo ran out of...

Ash gulps.

Ash: Pi....ka..... And Brock returned her Vulpix over a year a..go....

I tense up after those two sentences were said...

Jim: >_< Holy shit! She's gonna be a hybrid!!!

The four of us run to the pokésalon on whatever method we maneuver ourselves. We all stay at the entrance of the parlor, seeing a girl who looks about 16-18 in a barber's clothing, on the ground, sweating profusely, holding her head. We sure as hell assumed the worst.

Suzie: OHHHH! Stay...away....

Ash, Misty, and Walter become frightened a bit.

Jim: Guess they know 'bout that... All PKH TFs are very unstable. In according to the PoKéHybrid theory, made from recorded info by yours truly,

Ash(thinking): Very interesting...

Jim: ...that all TFs are unstable, and never alike. Body structure can be close, even the TF process itself, but mentalwise, can act in variations of human and/or pokémon mentality.

Misty: No offense,but what are you talking about?!

Jim:....keep your distance.....

(That girl from that pokémon episode when Brock gets a Vulpix, the pokémon breeder and her salon is the current situation. O_O;;; Although I forgot her name, so i'm putting 'Suzie' to supplement until I find her name.)

Suzie: It hurts so much inside me! My insides feel that they're burning up...

Jim:...It's the effect of the TF....

She sits on her knees, still sweating.

Suzie: Ahhh..my insides....

I sense something, and get very tense, as does Ash, twitching his ears.

Misty: Ash?

Walter: Jim?

Suzie opens her mouth wide, onto our direction...

Jim and Ash: GET DOWN!

Suzie: >o< VUL!!!

How to say this, well, she vomited, uh, a Fire Blast on us. Ash and I pushed Misty and Walter to the ground, jumping out of harms way. A table behind us is burnt to the ground, leaving ashes where the furniture was. I run to one side,of the room behind Suzie, while Ash tenses up, and jumps in front of Misty and Walter.

Jim: Dammit! ...too friggin close.

Ash: Pika pika, pikachuu! How'd you dodge that move so fast?!

Jim: Uh....dun ask....

Suzie: Vul....vulpix....ahhhh!

Jim: > < For the love of god girl, look up!!!

She does so, and it blackens the ceiling above her.

Walter: oo; Seel... This take heartburn to another level...

Misty looks at a red cylinder supported by a metal bar on the wall, to the left side of Suzie,

Misty: You guys! Seel! What's that for?

Jim and Ash look at it.

Jim: It's a fiberglass fireproof blanket!

Ash: I have an idea!

Jim: What, Cover her in the blanket?

Ash: ::nods:: Pika....

His cheeks start to charge up with electricity.

Ash: Hurry and get that blanket!

Suzie vomits more fire above her, burning a ceiling fan to dust. I run to the container,

Ash:....CHUU!

..while Ash thundershocks the base of the container. It falling to the ground, the attack destroying a metal bar supporting the container in place on the wall. I slide to the ground, grabbing the blanket. I stand and hit the ground running, toward Suzie.

Jim: Hold your breath!!!

Misty: He's gonna do what I think he's gonna do, ...is he?

I slide in, covering the blanket over myself and Suzie.

Walter, Misty, and Ash: JIM!

From the inside, I see Suzie's ,mouth wide open... All I can do, is try to put excess blanket in front of myself, put my arms to a defense curl, and shut my eyes...

Suzie: >o< VUUULLLPIIIIIX!

Seconds pass, and I put my arms down, slowly opening my eyes.

Jim:...so this is how hell is like, a bit sweaty, all alone...

I pause.

Jim: ...Under a blanket..

Suzie: vullll....

She has her head up high, holding up some excess blanket, so I wouldn't be harmed. To herself, she still vomits fire, but it becomes lower and lower.

I smirk looking at her, nodding. She tries to smile, while screaming, vomiting fire.

Walter: ...I can't hear Jim at all...

Misty: ; _ ; Seeeeel.....

Ash's ears perk up as he hears muffled yelling.

Ash:....Pika Pikachuu! I can hear Jim!

Jim(muffled): >_<; I'm not dead dammit!

Ash: ^_^ Pi! That's great!

Jim(muffled): o_o; Although it's kinda hot here..

Ash: Chu...I could only imagine.

Suzie:....vulllllpix.....vul......

I get myself out from under the fireproof blanket.

Jim: Whew..hot in there... '_-;

Misty and Walter go close to me, smiling brightly.

Jim: Eh, I have the assumption that you two are thankful i'm alive. ^^;

Both Seels hug me smiling, as I give a sigh of relief.

Jim: ^_^ aaaahh... Nice and cold...

The two Seel kids start to sweat, and let go of me.

Jim '_' -(?) What the...

Walter: Sorry Jim, but Seel! Your body's hot! As in radiator hot!

Misty: How'd to take that heat?

Jim: Guess it..was...umm...the body armor...

Ash looks all over him.

Ash: chu...You're not even sweating...

Suzie pulls off the blanket, yelling a bit.

Suzie: Vul Vulpix! Umm, i'm kinda transforming here!

Everyone then focuses their attention to the becoming Vulpix girl.

I look onto her feet. They have white dress shoes and white socks reaching her ankles.

Jim: Take off your shoes and socks..

Suzie: Wha?

Ash:..oh, I see.

She starts to take off her shoes.

Jim: Her feet are gonna change.

Ash: The leather of her shoes would break apart...

Jim: ...and hurt her greatly.

Ash: Fortunately for me, My feet kept their size..

He touches the heels of his back feet with his tail. As doing so, Suzie takes off her socks, wiggling her toes a bit. I take a look at them. Assumption, Women's size 8.

Walter: Clothes aren't much of a worry for TF. Seel.

Misty(nodding): Seel. To the changes, they're 'adjusted' to fit our new forms.

Suzie nods.

Jim(thinking): Count down to the change in life that's soon to come... Your life has just begun...

Jim: -_- 5...4...

Walter: How does he know..

Misty: Exact timing?

Ash: Must have seen it somewhere..

Suzie takes a look at her body, as I have said 5.

Suzie(thinking): Countdown...

Jim: 3.....2......

Suzie(thinking): Farewell, humanity.

Jim: ....1......0.

Suzie holds onto her head, yelling from the top of her lungs, falling to sit on her knees. Everyone jumps back, away from her,

Ash: Everybody, clear out!

...but...I remained.

Ash: What are you doing?!

Misty: Do what you said! Get back!

I stay silent... Walter looks on...

Walter(thinking): What's..going on in that troubled mind of his..?

Instantaneously, a red curl of fur rises through her forehead.. Everyone holds their stomachs 'cept for Suzie and I.

Jim: A Vulpix's curl..Represent phases of her TF. You guess the rest..

Suzie(thinking): Phase 1..

Her mouth extends outwards with her nose, forming a mussle, but the freaky thing is, her feminine lips and nose resumed human form.. Her ears sink inside of her head, and a Vulpix's ears creep out through her hair.

Jim: Damn, for one thing, this TF is very different from the one I saw..

Misty: Ewww...

She starts to turn to Ash.

Ash: v_v This...is disgusting...

Walter keeps whatever he wants to say to himself, he's horrified watching the TF. Suzie's hands tremor, and she looks at them, Ash getting a bit teary eyed. Misty looks to her hands, then to Ash, both looking at his front feet..

Suzie: vulpix....?

Almost instantaneously, her palms extending outwards, her thumbs moving so all of her fingers are near-aligned with eachother. Ankles burst through below her palms, on her wrists. In other words, her hands changed to feet.

Suzie: >_< VUL...PIX!

Lowering her new feet to the ground, all of her toenails change as if they were painted a scarlet red. Her toes spread out as humanly possible, then lock in place. Her 'paws'. The arches on all of her feet rise up by a bit. I stay silent, looking onto her.

Suzie: Vul....vul....ohhh.....

Ash looks at her, clearly tears were streaming down his face. Misty looks at him, saddened from watching a similar loss of standing.

Ash: -._ - ...pika...::sniffles::...pika....

Hesitantly but eventually,

Misty(thinking): I don't care, my love needs me....

...puts her hand on Ash's left shoulder, if you would call it that.

Ash: ...pika pika..thanks Misty...

Ash(thinks): She's...comforting me? ..Jim, if I have never went with you, the two of us wouldn't be this close!

Misty nods,and tries to give a smile. They look into each other's eyes getting the idea they are thinking about.

Misty(thinking): I'm here...

Walter notices the two, and smirks.

Walter(thinking): Hmm..

I stand guard, watching Suzie's forehead, another curl creeps through her hair, She tries to stand, but a loud crack is heard, making herself on all of her feet.

Suzie(thinking): ...I can't even stand anymore...

Her arms become fatter to various proportions, and, her back legs became acute, to her new front legs.

Suzie: vulllllllnoooo....

Jim: .....what.....?

I see..tears form from the corners of her eyes. While seeing that, sees a 3rd red fur curl. I slump down, sitting on my butt, whispering to her...

Jim:....Don't be afraid of me, ..I'm not what you think... It'll be over soon lass...

Everyone but Suzie gasps, from what I said.... .....I didn't care for them. .....My main concern was for Suzie to pull through the TF. Already standing, Suzie slowly walks toward me.

Suzie(thinking): Oh....

A red furred curled tail emerges from above her butt, swaying softly, then becoming stiff, as 5 other tails of the same kind burst out.

Walter:...Jim....Seel....

Fur consumes her body... From a Vulpix's fur. Dark red on her feet (darker then her toenails), white on her stomach, and a light red for the rest of her body...

Suzie: vul...pix....

TF...complete. She walks to me, her head close to mine, and I look deep into her eyes. They're soaked with tears, begging me..

Suzie: Please....

She....moves her mouth next to my cheek, and...licks it once.

Suzie:.....hold me.......

My heart...

Misty: Seel...

Ash: chu...

...softened...

Walter: Go ahead..

...my eyes fill with tears as she sobs, licking my cheek softly.

Suzie(sobbing):...vul....vul....vul....

I hugged her...

Jim(whispers): -_- ...it'll be okay...I'll make sure of it. You can cry on me...

Suzie rests her body on my lap and her mussle on my right shoulder. ..The room gets silent. All that is heard, is Suzie licking my cheek, Suzie and I sobbing to ourselves.

.......give or take a half hour, everyone in sadness, I kissed her forehead. With my hands, I wipe her tears, and with her front feet, she wipes mine. Everyone smiles...

Suzie: We'll be alright, ::sniff:: right? Vulllpix?

Jim: Yeah... : )

All of us get up, and walk off, to the forest. While walking along...

Misty(thinking): Ash...I want to be with you.. Drop this disguise, ..stop acting like a bitch... and to love you!

No one notices her look of despair except for me.

Jim(Whispers to Misty): You love Ash, doncha..

Misty(Whispers to Jim): Seeel, ...yes! I can't stand hiding my feelings anymore!

Jim(Whispers to Misty): Sing your song to him. He can hear it. I can't sleep well so I hear it every night, and Ash has his ears..

Ash looks to them.

Ash: Pika?

Misty: ...tell him for me...

I nod, and look to Ash.

Jim(Whispers to Ash): Ash....Misty, she.........

Ash giggles like a Pikachu, and Misty smiles.

-That night, while everyone was in their sleeping bags, everyone "falls" asleep. My plan is set into action..

Jim: Ash, Misty, go ahead..

Walter and Suzie smile, laying snug in their sleeping bag, eyes closed, while I look on.

Misty: Ash...Seel seel...

Ash: Misty...kachu...

Misty: I've...always...Loved you, from day one...

Ash: I wanna spend the rest of my life with you...

The two, get out of their sleeping bags, and move close to eachother. Ash extends his front feet outward while Misty arches her back forward a bit, putting her flipper hands on top of his feet.

Ash: Your song..pikaa! It's beautiful..

Misty: Thank you...

I clear my throat.

Jim: I got an idea. You two know how the song goes. Sing a version, of you two...together...

The two smile, agreeing with me.

Misty: It's because of you, that we're together...

Ash: Tell us this... Pika pi pikachu... Why are you taking the time for us to be together?

Jim:...eh....I'm friggin' depressed. I feel alone all the time..

Misty: awww..don't say that..

Jim: lemme finish.. I couldn't take the two of you, hiding that you love each other, assuming the worst... So...go on. t's alright with me. Let the world see two souls become one..

They both smile, then snuggle, hugging each other.
