#2 of Jirachi: Tales of Twisted Wishes
Note from the Author :
Ha! My first transformation story! Let me know what you think!
-- Chapter 1 - Amy -- (Vulpix)
Amy was scrambling to get back to her hotel suite, whimpering all the way.
She didn't bother with tact or appearance, as this wasn't the time for it. She just had to move quickly, before anyone noticed what was happening to her. There had to be a way to stop...this!
A small Vulpix was trailing close behind, trying its best to keep pace with the girl's quick steps. It looked just as frightened as its owner, each of its six tails twitching erratically as it scampered through the lobby after her, knocking over several pieces of luggage in its path. "Vul! Vulpix! Vulpix!"
"This...isn't...possible!" Amy choked out between ragged breaths. Her arms tightened around the thick winter jacket she wore...which looked just a bit too lumpy. And was moving now. She could practically feel the suspicious eyes of the other hotel patrons as she ran past them. They all knew that she had something in there...
...of course, they'd never in a hundred years believe their eyes if they actually saw what she was hiding! She could barely believe it herself!
Amy kept running, pushing through a group of trainers standing in the hallway with their Pokemon. She gave them a hurried apology as she ran, ignoring their shouts of surprise and confusion when her Vulpix dashed between their legs.
When the panicked trainer finally stumbled in front of her suite, she hesitated. What if her roommate was inside? What could she possibly say to explain...this? She glanced down nervously to the moving lump in her jacket, and then took a deep breath. No, it was better to be safely inside her suite than outside, where absolutely everyone could see her. Now that would be too much to bear! Her trembling hand gripped the door handle, and she quickly disappeared inside with Vulpix in tow. The door slammed shut and locked behind them.
Hers was a relatively quaint hotel suite; a single room with two queen-sized beds set against the same wall, and a door leading to a small bathroom with a closet. Which made it all the more fortunate that Jennifer wasn't in yet...because there was no way she'd be able to hide her problem from her own roommate for very long. Amy couldn't bear to think about how embarrassing--and awkward--it would've been to be caught like this by her best friend!
Without a word, she ran to the tall mirror that hung on the wall between the beds, stumbling over a stack of Trainer's Weekly magazines had been placed carelessly on the floor next to her bed. Cursing, she scrambled to her feet in front of the mirror, struggling to catch her breath as she studied her own reflection. It was a familiar sight: a young woman with short blond hair and deep blue eyes, relatively tall for her age, slender but not scrawny. Her face was red and sweaty with exhaustion, eyes wide with shock, arms trembling as they pulled her jacket close.
Then she looked down at the burgeoning lump in her jacket, and began to unzip it. The jacket hit the ground moments later, and she could only stare, horrified, at something her brain kept telling her was utterly impossible.
The long, fluffy red tail she'd been hiding was now twice as big as before. It shifted roughly between her arms, the fur ruffling in her attempts to control it. She spun in place, her eyes widening as they followed the fuzzy appendage to its origin just above her jeans, jutting unceremoniously from her backside. But...how was this possible?
"That Jirachi tricked me!" Amy cried out in disdain, "I...didn't wish for this! I didn't--!" She turned to her Pokemon questioningly. "...D-did I?"
The Vulpix canted its head in response, offering a bemused, "Vulpi?"
Amy winced at the sensation when she gripped the tail tightly and gave it a few experimental tugs. It felt strange, almost like pulling on an arm...one that was covered with a layer of plush red fur that seemed to flow between her fingers, filling her hands with a strange sense of warmth and comfort.
Strangely, it actually reminded her a bit of Vulpix. Without thinking, Amy found herself squeezing the tail again, pressing her face into its velvety fur. "Wow, it's...so soft!"
That soothing warmth was persistent, almost impossible to ignore. Maybe even infectious as well...because, not a moment later, the changes started up again.
Amy flinched when a familiar sensation shot down her spine, diffusing across her back and thighs, almost like a burning itch. She'd had that feeling before, right after she'd made her wish with Jirachi, which had left her looking...a little less than human. "Aah!"
Amy's legs buckled from a sudden pulling at her spine that wrenched her shoulders down. Her back arched sharply, and she hit the ground with a loud cry. She barely had time to scream before she turned to see another tail erupting from her backside, just as soft and pliant as the first one. And then another. And another. With each tail, the pulling, burning, and itching intensified, sending hot flashes through the very core of her body.
"Whu-what's...happening to...me!" she cried out as the sensations intensified, sweeping over her body like fire. Every muscle cramped; her organs twisted and gurgled in her belly, almost as if shoved around by some invisible hand. Worse, her spine kept pulling and splitting into new limbs, dropping her on her face every time she tried to stand up. It wasn't particularly painful, but that didn't matter. The burning sensation that seemed to saturate every inch of her body was intense, and almost too much for the horrified trainer to bear. "S-stop it! JIRACHII!!!"
Meanwhile, her Vulpix could do nothing but stare on helplessly, muzzle hanging open, legs shaking in sheer horror.
By the fifth tail, Amy was a disoriented mess, lying numb on her side, barely able to notice the room starting to grow around her. Her thigh muscles broadened to suit her new form, her feet quickly shrank out of her sneakers, and her toes began to thicken as fur spread over them. By the time she'd managed a bemused glance down at her feet, they were already gone. In their place were a pair of red furry paws, complete with soft, pink paw-pads on the soles. "AHH!!"
Amy tried to stand up again, but it no use. She was too weak to move now, too disoriented to scream, and too terrified to think clearly. So, it was with a final groan of resignation that she curled up into a ball on the carpet and clenched her eyes shut, unable to do anything else but wait out the changes. "Ugh...ohhh..."
Her clothes were much looser now, and it was becoming harder to wrap her arms around herself. They were getting shorter, the bones crackling under her skin as a wave of fur washed over her shifting limbs. She felt her fingers shrink, becoming less flexible, less dexterous, until they were no longer hands, but stubby forepaws.
The transformation swept over her chest, covering her dwindling breasts with a layer of cream-colored belly fur, before the changes finally reached her head. The terrified trainer let out a surprised yelp when her face began to push out into a short muzzle; her teeth and tongue lengthening in her mouth while she breathed in quick, hoarse pants. The hot flashes settled in and around her head, blurring her already muddled thoughts behind a growing inferno of magical energy. She couldn't think clearly anymore, and couldn't care anymore...not about Vulpix, or her roommate, or the hotel room around her. She couldn't even care about what exactly was happening to the her body, or for that matter, how it was all possible. She just wanted it over with already.
Small bursts of flame came from Amy's newly-formed muzzle with every ragged breath, startling her Vulpix and making it stumble backwards with a surprised cry. "V-vulpix!?"
Shades of red streaked through her blond hair like tendrils, spreading from the roots all the way to the very tips. Her hair shortened into small curls, centered between the pointed tips of her new vulpine ears. And she kept shrinking, until her body had completely disappeared into the pile of clothing she'd been wearing mere minutes ago.
Finally, as the last bits of her human face vanished behind a layer of soft red fur, Amy's sixth tail sprouted. And then, just as suddenly as it had started, her transformation was done.
The newly-formed Pokemon crawled out of her discarded clothing and stood up on trembling paws. Her six fluffy tails twitched with confusion as she tried to clear the haziness from her head.
Wait...what just happened?
Amy's body felt different, unusual...wrong. She stood on all fours now, supported by small, limber paws, seeing through eyes much sharper than anything she'd ever known. And her nose! It was like an entire world of unique scents and aromas had been opened to her; so much that she felt dizzy from every sniff. Every sense seemed alien, every movement a defiance of everything her mind was telling her was supposed to be normal, to be real.
Hesitantly, she turned to look at herself in the mirror...and was met with a curious sight. There were now two Vulpixes staring back at her in its reflection. They were so similar in appearance that it actually took Amy several seconds to realize that she wasn't there. Well, at least the image of herself that she remembered.
She raised a trembling paw up to the mirror while one of Vulpixes in the reflection mimicked her gesture. After a moment, its expression shifted into one of realization...and then utter horror. "Wha...what in the..."
Amy didn't want to believe it, but that reflection...was her. All trace of her human body had vanished, and in it's place was a small, fluffy, six-tailed Pokemon.
She had transformed into a Vulpix! It was surreal beyond all belief...and yet it had happened! That damn Jirachi! Why did he do this to her?!
The other Vulpix stared at her transformed trainer, looking utterly thunderstruck. "M-master? Is...is that you?"
Amy froze, and then turned to her Pokemon. "Vulpix!? W-wait...I can understand you now?"
"Uhm...yes, I think so..." The Vulpix cautiously approached her master, and placed a gentle paw against her muzzle. Amy flinched visibly from the touch. "Wow...master, you look just like me! That's amazing! That Jirachi made your wish come true!"
"I--No! He didn't!" Amy protested, ruffling her fur. When Vulpix canted her head in confusion, the trainer quickly stammered, "I mean...he didn't--look, when I-I wished that I could understand you..." Amy gestured awkwardly to Vulpix with a paw. "...I didn't mean like this! I-I wanted to stay human!! I just wanted us to be able to talk!!"
"Really?" Vulpix asked, genuinely surprised, "But, uhm...what can we do? Jirachi has already moved on."
"I don't know!" Amy choked out. She turned to the mirror, swallowing her panic as she studied her own furry face, tails twitching erratically behind her. This whole thing had turned into one big nightmare for her! "I...we just need to stay calm and...and focus, okay?!"
"O-okay..." Vulpix replied, eyebrows furrowed. After a moment, she offered her master a comforting grin and added, "Well, at least it can't get any worse...right?"
"I guess...but still..." Amy started to say. Her words trailed off when she heard the loud CLICK of her suite door being unlocked.
Oh, right.
She'd totally forgotten about Jennifer, her roommate.
The door swung open, and a slender redhead walked into the room, carrying several bags of take-out dinner. "Amy? Are you here?" Jennifer's eyes quickly scanned the room for her roommate, and then settled on the pile of clothes lying on the floor near the mirror. The clothes left behind from Amy's transformation. "Amy?"
She set the food bags down, and then started towards the mirror. She stopped in her tracks when she circled the bed and found the two Pokemon staring up at her. "Oh wow! Twin Vulpixes!"
Amy exchanged a nervous glance with her Vulpix, and then they looked back at her roommate, who very easily towered over them. Jennifer crouched down to hug Amy's Vulpix, nuzzling against her soft fur with a muffled giggle. "Oh my God! You guys are just sooo cute!"
Then she set her sights on Amy. Well, Jennifer always did love cute things...
The newly-transformed Pokemon crouched low, vulpine ears folded back, cheeks burning in embarrassment as she braced herself for what was coming next.
A hug. A really big hug.
This...was going to be a long night.
