Newfound Purposes: Chapter 1
#2 of Newfound Purposes
Oh, do I look back on this chapter and cringe. I could have done so much better. If I ever go back and rewrite any of my older material, this'll be the first thing I change.
Chapter 1- Changes
Some time later, Shane is woken up by a bright light shining in his eyes.
<God, it's really bright outside... Why did I keep the shades open?>
Shane yawns groggily, opens his eyes, squints, and panics.
<W... wait a minute! What the hell?! Where am I?!>
Shane quickly lifts his head and darts it around, trying to get a grasp of his surroundings and make sure he isn't in any danger.
It could be best described as a lake front inside some sort of forest. Giant trees loom over Shane higher than many of the trees he had seen back home. He noticed a few bushes in the area surrounding him, bearing some sort of strange berry. The sky is pure blue, and the lake water reflects the brilliant color- and to Shane's misfortune, the sun's intense brightness, as well. But now that he knows the scene is safe, he has a lot of questions to ask.
<Okay, I'm definitely not asleep on my bed back home... Or home at all, for that matter. There's no way it would be this hot outside in the middle of winter. But if I'm not home, where am I? Who would kidnap me just to drop me off in the middle of nowhere? None of this makes any sense... I guess the best I can do is get up and take a look around.>
Shane stretches, his eyes closed, and pushes himself up onto two feet. He falls straight back down.
*Thud.*
<Ouch! I must be more out of it than I thought... Have I been drugged or something? Ugh... I feel so strange... Maybe there's someone around who could help me out.>
So Shane took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and was shocked to hear what he himself said.
"Heeeeey! Is anybody there?"
It took a few seconds for Shane to realize that he was the one to say the extremely high-pitched question so loud.
<God damn it! They did something to my voice, too!? Who the hell kidnaps someone, drops them off in the middle of nowhere, and gives them fucking HELIUM?! If that's the case, it should wear off soon... But it doesn't change the fact that I feel really strange... My whole body is pretty numb...>
Shane gulps, preparing for the worst.
<Well, it's time to assess the damage... What could be the worst that happened? A few cuts? Some bruises?>
Shane looks down confidently, convincing himself there's nothing he couldn't be prepared for. He was wrong.
"Wh... wh... wh... WHAT THE HELL!" Shane cries, trying to push himself away from his alien body.
The top half of his body was covered in blue fur. The bottom half of his body was covered in black fur. His legs were obviously intended to be walked on all fours, supported by his blue paws with yellow circular designs above them. His black tail protruded forwards and up, showing off the yellow star-shaped design on the end.
<H... Hol... Holy shit... Wh... What am I? I have... I have to find out.>
Shane shakily stands up on all fours, awkwardly pawing over to the lake, having trouble staying balanced. He finally manages to make his way to the edge of the lake and collapses, the water rippling before showing him his reflection.
The water reflected Shane's blue, oval-like head, and his ears to match, only they pointed upwards, and had star-like yellow fur inside them. Blue fur pointed outwards on the bottom left and bottom right of his chin, and pointed up a little bit on his forehead. His eyes were a golden brown color, and between them was a small pinkish-red nose.
It was blatantly obvious Shane wasn't any animal you could find just anywhere... In fact, to him, he never could have imagined what he had become was real until now. But he knew what he was. He had played enough video games to figure it out.
<I'm a Shinx!? I'm a POKEMON?! This CAN'T be real! This HAS to be a dream! Nothing like this could ever happen in a million years!... Right?...>
Shane reached up to pinch himself, but only succeeded in lightly tapping his cheek with his paw.
<Ah! Come on!>
Shane tried a lot of things to wake up- he bit his lip (hurting himself more than he intended to with his fangs), he rolled on the ground aimlessly (which got him kind of dirty... good thing he's close to a lake!), and yanked on his tail (now he knows why animals hate to be tugged there).
Falling onto his back on the ground, Shane lifts his head to take a full survey of his new body. Needless to say, all that exercise he just got done with got rid of the numbness he was experiencing before, so he can feel nearly everything on his new fur-covered body... and the lack of what his old body had.
<This body is so different from what I'm used to... it's going to take so long to get good at even the most simple things, too... Everything feels so much different in this body... I mean, I know I'm a Pokemon now, and that's pretty far from being a human, but I can't help but feel like something else has changed..."
As Shane ponders this, he feels a pressure in his lower stomach. For once, it's not such a new feeling to him.
<Well, I guess Pokemon have to relieve themselves, too... Hey, that's a bonus, for once. At least I don't have to find a bathroom whenever I have to go now.>
Shane simply flips himself over, lifts a leg, and tilts his head down.
<If Pokemon have to go, that must mean that they have penises, too, right? I wonder if they look any different than a human's does...>
Shane quickly glances around to make sure nobody is watching, and puts his head closer to his private regions.
<But if Pokemon are animals, and it's pretty obvious they should be, the male should have some kind of sheath to protect his manhood until sex... Is it supposed to come out when I go?... Well... I guess I'm about to find out.>
Shane does what he always does to pee, and for the most part, everything is normal.
<Huh... that did feel a bit strange... it must be because it's in my sheath right now...>
Shane looks around again, just to make sure nobody was near him.
<... but I really want to know what it looks and feels like for it to be out... It's kind of sick, I know, but if I'm going to find out about it, I might as well learn about it sooner than later...>
Shane flips back over onto his back, leans forward as far as he can with his head, sticks his tongue out, and sticks his tongue into his sex.
Shane's eyes immediately shoot open in disbelief, and he retracts his tongue, nervously reaching a paw to his upper chest. He gently pushes in on it, feeling a small protrusion which creates a small but undeniable sense of pleasure for Shane.
"Oh... oh my God..." Shane states with a horror-stricken expression on his... or rather, her face, the high-pitched voice finally making sense.
"I'm a girl."
