\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSophie pushed her chair away from the desk and glanced around her small bedroom. \u0026nbsp;It was a quiet, tidy room, not as nearly exciting as she'd like. \u0026nbsp;The walls were painted a pale violet, and plastered with cute Pokemon stickers and large laminated photos of famous trainers. \u0026nbsp;Her bed was soft and warm, adorned with several thick pillows and a plain comforter. \u0026nbsp;It was set on the other side of the room across from her desk, between a large wooden dresser covered with photographs and plastic figurines, and a low table that had a lamp for late night reading. \u0026nbsp;On the far corner of her room was the closet, overflowing with unused clothing, most of which were too preppy for her tastes anyway.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nIt didn't take the teen long to find the obvious source of the breeze. \u0026nbsp;Her bedroom window was still open, its purple curtains swaying from a gentle wind blowing in. \u0026nbsp;It was getting cold, but she didn't bother to shut it. \u0026nbsp;That window was open for a reason.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSophie roused at the sound of liquid sloshing again, and she turned to the small Pokemon sitting on her bed, next to a neat little pile of her belongings. \u0026nbsp;The pale creature was shaking her snow globe, happily watching the tiny rolling flakes with all the curiosity and naiveté of a small child. \u0026nbsp;He broke from his gleeful fixation when she cleared her throat loudly. \u0026nbsp;\"So, um, Jirachi....I get one wish, right?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Yep!\" Jirachi answered, glancing up at her, \"and all wishes are _final_!\" \u0026nbsp;He studied her face for a moment, and then a wide grin crossed his face. \"...so choose carefully!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Um...okay...\" she replied hesitantly, \"...why do you keep saying that?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Well, I _have_ to say it before granting any wish. \u0026nbsp;Arceus commanded it.\" \u0026nbsp;Jirachi laid back, holding the snow globe over his head to stare into at the fluttering bits of white as he shook it. \u0026nbsp;\"But really, it's just a formality. \u0026nbsp;You don't have to listen if you don't want to.\" \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Oh, r-right...\" \u0026nbsp;Sophie turned and set her eyes on her reflection in the mirror, tracing the contours of her ordinary face. \u0026nbsp;Probably for the last time. \u0026nbsp;It was now or never...and it _had_ to be now. \u0026nbsp;She swallowed hard before speaking. \u0026nbsp;\"...I wish that I was stunningly beautiful, so that everyone at my school would notice me!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nFor a moment, Jirachi just stared blankly at the snow globe in his tiny hands. \u0026nbsp;Then a mischievous grin spread across his pale face. \u0026nbsp;He quickly wiped it off when Sophie glanced back at him. \u0026nbsp;\"Oh, the beauty wish! \u0026nbsp;Now _that_ brings back memories.\" \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"That's what I want...\" Sophie said dreamily, touching her face with a hand, \"...I want to be so beautiful that people will love and adore me wherever I go!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Sounds fun!\" Jirachi replied, grinning as he set the snow globe down. \u0026nbsp;Then he stood up, straightening his golden headdress casually, the three blank notes fluttering around him. \u0026nbsp;\"I'll make you into the most stunningly beautiful creature around!\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSophie's eyes lit up at that, and she glanced back at her reflection. \"Yes! \u0026nbsp;C-can you do that?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nJirachi's grin widened. \u0026nbsp;\"Of course! \u0026nbsp;They'll absolutely _love_ you when I'm done! \u0026nbsp;Wish granted!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSophie shivered a bit as one of the notes hanging from his headdress suddenly lit up, filling the entire room with a soft ember glow. \u0026nbsp;Then her name appeared on the note in bright, fiery letters. \u0026nbsp;\"Hey, that's my--!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer words trailed off when the light faded quickly, taking her name with it, and leaving the note as blank as before. \u0026nbsp;Wait...was that _it_? \u0026nbsp;She looked questioningly at the Pokemon's pale face, hoping for an answer, but he simply stood there, smiling expectantly at her. \u0026nbsp;\"Jirachi?\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Just...give it a moment...\" he replied innocently. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Hey, wha--!?\" \u0026nbsp;Sophie started to stand, but she didn't get far. \u0026nbsp;Her legs buckled from a cold, numbing sensation that cut deep between her shoulder blades, her protests changing into startled cries as she tumbled face-first into the carpet. \u0026nbsp;\"--aah!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe feeling spread through her spine, making her shiver again from a chill she couldn't possibly explain. \u0026nbsp;It was like having a bucket of ice water shoved down her shirt, cold and unforgiving. \u0026nbsp;The chill paused at her neck and pelvis, slowly building in intensity even as she struggled to stand again, fingers trembling as she hugged herself fruitlessly. \u0026nbsp;\"J-Jirachi! \u0026nbsp;What's h-happening...t-to me-ahh!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Your wish,\" she heard the Pokemon reply, \"Isn't it obvious?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nIt was at the sound of fabric ripping that Sophie _knew_ that something had gone horribly wrong. \u0026nbsp;She managed a shaky glance behind her, just as the cold sensations poured into her lower body, her pajama pants beginning to bulge under the strain of burgeoning flesh. \u0026nbsp;Her shirt, on the other hand, felt looser for some reason.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThis...wasn't what she'd wished for! \u0026nbsp;What was Jirachi doing to her!? \u0026nbsp;She had to sto--\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer thoughts exploded in a thousand pieces as several sudden muscle spasms shot through her body, forcing her legs together like they'd been caught in a vise. \u0026nbsp;The chill began to mingle with a strange stretching sensation, and Sophie let out a groan as the pressure on her legs increased, bones crackling and muscles shifting as her lower body became thinner, more flexible. \u0026nbsp;And less...human.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nStunned, Sophie glanced back at what was once her legs, a single rounded limb that coiled wildly about itself, almost like a--\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nA horrified moan escaped her lips when she finally realized what was happening. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer legs had fused together, becoming a lithe, flexible tail. \u0026nbsp;She didn't even believe it was possible until she'd reached back and touched the writhing new appendage with a hand, feeling it shiver in response. \u0026nbsp;It felt real. \u0026nbsp;It shouldn't be, but it was. \u0026nbsp;And worse, it was _still_ growing, taking up more space behind her. \u0026nbsp;Then it gave a sudden jerk, smacking her chair on its side. \u0026nbsp;\"Ah!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer skin tingled as it started to split and harden into colored scales, quickly spreading over her transforming body. \u0026nbsp;The scales exploded into a pattern of bright colors; blue, pink, and black over her lower body. \u0026nbsp;The pattern ceased at her waist, changing to a cream color instead, which started to spread upward in small splotches, almost as if she'd become the unwilling canvas for some intangible brush. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSophie forced herself up on trembling arms, her voice quivering as she cried out, \"Ahh! \u0026nbsp;JIRACHI!! \u0026nbsp;HELP!\" \u0026nbsp;But instead of a response, she heard his playful laughing echoing in her ears, which came moments before she was floored by another numbing chill that shot up her spine. \u0026nbsp;\"Ugh!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nShe hit the ground hard, ears ringing as a horrible crackling and squelching started in her chest cavity. \u0026nbsp;Was...was that her _lungs_? \u0026nbsp;Gasping, she tried to raise her hands to her shrinking breasts, but they didn't respond. \u0026nbsp;As in, she couldn't _move_ her arms. \u0026nbsp;At all. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nBy the time she'd looked at them, her fingers had already shrunk away, along with both of her hands. \u0026nbsp;Sophie stared with widened eyes at the two long stumps that used to be her arms, sprawled limply at her sides, dwindling to nothing. \u0026nbsp;Each limb gave a final involuntary twitch just before they vanished completely, leaving behind nothing but smooth, cream-colored scales. \u0026nbsp;\"Augh...ugh...\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWhat was happening to her!? \u0026nbsp;Was this a _nightmare_!?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe stretching feeling intensified, mixing with the tingling in her skin, and the freezing cold that pierced through her very core, making every muscle shiver uncontrollably. \u0026nbsp;It didn't hurt, but of course, that didn't matter. \u0026nbsp;The sensations were already far more than she could handle. \u0026nbsp;Her voice came in a strange mix of strained warbling and groans and that didn't sound right to her. \u0026nbsp;It didn't even sound _human_. \u0026nbsp;\"Helpp meee!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWith the loss of her arms, Sophie's body seemed to be much more flexible now. \u0026nbsp;And as the changes progressed, it dawned on her that her body was _still_ getting longer. \u0026nbsp;Her chest and mid-section were practically non-existent now, merging into her new tail seamlessly, which tapered to a point much like a serpent. \u0026nbsp;Unlike a serpent, however, were the four long feather-like scales that adorned the tip of her tail like a fan. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nDazed and frustrated, Sophie started to sob as the changes finally reached her head. \u0026nbsp;Her shifting teeth started to chatter from a cold that shot up her spine and into her brain, dulling her thoughts under a thin sheet of ice. \u0026nbsp;Then her eyes changed as well, blurring her perception of the ever-shrinking world around her. \u0026nbsp;Clumps of fuzzy auburn fell to the floor around her, tickling her still-forming snout and almost making her sneeze. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWait...was she losing her hair, too!? \u0026nbsp;Sophie sobbed even louder at the thought of going bald.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHer body was out of her control now, squirming of its own volition, muscles contracting and relaxing involuntarily. \u0026nbsp;Though it barely registered, some distant part of her thrashed around sharply, knocking over the objects on her dresser and sending them clattering against her wall. \u0026nbsp;Finally, two long strips of pink hair--no, not hair..._fins_--fluttered to the floor around her head, brushing against two thinner ones that spouted from her eyebrows, stretching far behind her. \u0026nbsp;Then her head elongated to a long point in the back, leaving behind nothing of her previous human features. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAnd then, like waking from a dream, the transformation had ended. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe newly-made Pokemon slowly pushed herself upright on her tail, letting out a shaky groan as the haziness in her mind finally cleared. \u0026nbsp;She glanced down hesitantly, feeling strange new muscles in her neck flex. \u0026nbsp;Then her eyes widened in disbelief.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWhat happened to her arms!? \u0026nbsp;What happened to her legs!? \u0026nbsp;She swung her head around, eyes urgently following the long shimmering tail that trailed far behind her, all the way to the colorful fin at the tip. \u0026nbsp;What happened to her _body_?! \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSophie jerked backward in shock, ruffling the tattered remains of her pajama pants against the carpet as her body bumped roughly against the desk. \u0026nbsp;The shirt was still intact, hanging loosely from the base of her long neck...or, at least what she thought was supposed to be her neck. \u0026nbsp;She couldn't tell where it ended or began anymore. \u0026nbsp;In fact, she couldn't tell where any part of her body was anymore! \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Jirachi! \u0026nbsp;T-this isn't fair!\" Sophie cried out, \"You tricked me!\" \u0026nbsp;But aside from the faint whisper of wind blowing through her bedroom window, it was eerily silent. \u0026nbsp;Apparently, he had already moved on.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThat stupid Jirachi!\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSophie slumped ruefully, coiling up in her new, slender body as she tried to make sense out of what had just happened to her. \u0026nbsp;It was impossible...all _wrong_. \u0026nbsp;The body that she'd known all her life was gone, vanished into the ether, replaced by something alien...something horrible...something that moved with strange, powerful muscles bound around a single flexible tail, like a serpent. \u0026nbsp;Something that took in the world with senses that somehow made her room seem...just a little brighter and sharper. \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWhat exactly had Jirachi turned her into?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nIgnoring the butterflies in her stomach, Sophie forced herself upward using her tail, the tiny scales feeling almost rubbery against the soft fabric of her carpet. \u0026nbsp;She slowly rose until she could see her whole room, sniffling bitterly when she noticed that the snow globe on her bed was missing. \u0026nbsp;That Jirachi! \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThen her teary eyes shifted over to her desk mirror, and she gasped.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThere was a Milotic staring sadly back at her in the reflection. \u0026nbsp;Sophie recognized it immediately; she'd read about them once, the very epitome of beauty and grace. \u0026nbsp;The kind of Pokemon she dreamed of owning. \u0026nbsp;And yet, there it was, right in front of her! \u0026nbsp;Its eyes were like ruby gems, sparkling in the light reflecting off the mirror, shimmering from the fresh tears that streamed down its face. \u0026nbsp;Long pink fins, iridescent and elegant, swayed in the wind around its head. \u0026nbsp;Then its mouth opened in a little gasp of surprise, and Sophie's heart melted, her tail-tip flicking in genuine empathy for the Pokemon.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nTaken as she was, it took Sophie another moment to remember that she was looking at a mirror. \u0026nbsp;Her eyebrows furrowed as she stared into the reflection, and she saw the growing confusion in the Milotic's face. \u0026nbsp;Then realization hit, and she recoiled again, almost tumbling over her fallen chair. \u0026nbsp;\"Aah!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSophie wiped her eyes with the end of her tail, and looked at the mirror again. \u0026nbsp;But her eyes weren't mistaken. \u0026nbsp;As impossible as it seemed, that was _her_! \u0026nbsp;She'd been transformed into a Milotic! \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"W-wow...\" \u0026nbsp;She kept staring at the reflection, torn between alarm and adulation by her own altered appearance. \u0026nbsp;It was strange; she _wanted_ to be horrified, or sad, or bitter, or even furious for what the Jirachi had done to her. \u0026nbsp;But...after looking at _that_ face, she felt all her tension drain away. \u0026nbsp;In fact, she could even say that she was...content?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWas this the Milotic's calming ability taking effect? \u0026nbsp;Or was she was just relieved that she hadn't been changed into some hideous, forlorn beast? \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nOr maybe it was because Jirachi had kept his word?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n...well, almost. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSophie had indeed become one of the most stunningly beautiful creatures around, even if it wasn't _exactly_ what she'd hoped for. \u0026nbsp;And if her own reaction was any indication, she wouldn't have the slightest trouble getting all the attention and adoration she'd ever need...as per _her_ request. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThat stupid, clever Jirachi. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSophie let out a resigned sigh as she stared wistfully into the face of her new, beautiful form in the reflection. \u0026nbsp;Then a thought hit her, and she couldn't help but crack a small smile. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Well, at least everyone at school will notice me now...\"\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Jirachi: Tales of Twisted Wishes","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/501598-jirachi-tales-of-twisted-wishes-chapter-1.json"}}
