Anya was running away inside a forest where a blazing inferno was slowly following her, trees on fire falling down all around her.

She was running away with all she had, but the forest fire was gaining on her spreading faster and faster, she tripped and soon was hit by a falling burning branch.

She jolted awake in distress, Only to find a calm forest around her, no wildfire, no falling trees, only serene quietness of a forest with the occasional animal sounds heard every now and then. Her mind calming by each passing second.

Finally calm enough to stop lying in the grass she pushed herself up only to instantly lose balance and fall down.

Baffled by the sudden fall, she noticed that something felt weird, she just could not figure out what. She knew that she was not the most fit girl on the planet but standing should not be so hard and somehow her butt felt extra heavy. 'have I gained some weight?' she idly wondered and used her hands to make her sit.

'Something is not right' she thought while pulling her hands in front of her. What she saw was two leaf-green sickle-like appendages.

The sickles moved in front of her in panic as her mind came to a realization that these blades were now her arms, she started hyperventilating and crying.

-------------------

Hours passed as Anya finally had calmed down enough to move again. She slowly inspected her whole body, piece by piece not to startle her own mind too much. Afterwards she now knew, why her butt felt heavy, she had a large bug-like abdomen.

'I'm a monster' she thought.

True to that Anya had become a monster of sorts with coloration of yellow and leaf-green.

Anya sobbed for a while more until her stomach caused a small pang of pain. When was the last time she had even eaten anything, she did not know, her memory somehow blurry for the past few days.

She struggled to her stubby feet and wobbly staggered towards a nearby tree for support her mind still screaming 'unnatural' about her own new body.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

'It is like walking with peg legs' she thought while slowly getting used to balancing with two pointed feet.

Slowly moving through the forest, using trees as a support she stumbled upon a tree full of blue round fruit, she eagerly took a single low hanging fruit, only to accidentally stab her single digit through it and causing the fruit to fall to the ground... she cautiously looked at her 'hand' again only for her eyes to shake in terror as the 'hand' was extremely sharp she slowly looked behind her as she noticed that she had been stabbing the trees she used for support, only now noticing the cuts she had accidentally made to the trees.

What if she had cut herself accidentally she thought. Her stomach hurt again causing her to fall to her knees in pain. Good thing she already was near some most likely edible fruits.

Anya refocused her effort and carefully extracted a single blue fruit from the tree with her two 'hands'. She was surprised now that she had another look at the fruit, its a roundish blue fruit that have a thin cherry like peel covering its insides.

Another pang of hunger hit and she carefully chomped on the fruit letting the sweet citrusy tasting juice flow into her mouth and her whole body washed in relief. First time since she had woken up she had relaxed her body.

After finishing a few more fruits Anya felt full. She looked around as she heard a small crack nearby, startled, she hid behind the nearby fruit tree and looked around carefully. After a while something approached the tree, what Anya saw was something she could never mistake but something that she knew would be impossible.

A small red brown fox was happily munching the fruit Anya had dropped earlier. Anya looked at the nearby fox in silence as her body vibrated in excitement. She knew what a vulpix was with all of its 6 tails and a fluff on top of their heads. She looked absolutely adorable to Anya. Wanting to hug it and smother her face but... her arms were deadly blades... she could not risk harming something so precious even if she got the chance to pet her. So she longingly just looked at the vulpix.

As if noticing Anya's looks, the vulpix jolted and alertly looked around and finally caught the eyes of Anya, the fox curiously trotted a bit closer towards her without breaking eye contact.

"I think that is close enough" Anya said somberly while leaning against the tree. Noticing that her voice sounded odd.

The fox stopped only a feet or two away from her, curiously sniffing around and tilting her head. They both stared at each other silently for a while until another crack of a twig caused both of them to jump up. Startled the fox quickly ran into the bush where it came from.

Minutes passed yet nothing happened in the forest around her has grown quiet yet again. Anya was sitting on her knees under the tree thinking. She had seen something magical just a few monents ago

'A real live Vulpix' she thrilled, after a moment or two she came to a startling revelation.

Either Pokemon have lived on earth all this time or... This is not earth anymore. She wasn't sure which of these were true but the most important thing was.

Pokemon are real! and she had become one of them.
