Andre receives a Rotomdex and takes on a new role in bringing Pokemon into the world!
============================================================
Ding! Andre’s phone lights up and alerts of a new message. He rolls out of bed and gets up, stretching. Who would message him this early, anyways? He goes to check his phone and finds that there is a notification of a new package being delivered. That’s strange, he didn’t order anything! At least, he didn’t think he did, though it’s possible that he ordered something in a fatigued haze late one night. He starts wondering about what it is, but the package isn’t due to come until later today, so he just goes about his day. No school or work or anything to worry about today, so he just plops right back into bed then reaches for his Nintendo Switch and starts playing Pokémon Sword.

A few hours quickly go by when Andre’s switch eventually gets too low on battery to continue. He saves his game and goes to plug it in when there’s a knock at the door. “Finally!” Andre rushes to the door and opens it, finding a small, brown box with a label bearing his name and address. Yep, this is certainly his package! Andre carries it inside and rips it open, digging into the box. Scraps of packing material go everywhere until eventually he pulls out what appears to be a Rotom Pokédex! “Woah, this is so cool! It looks so real!” Andre turns it over in his hands and finds the button to power it on. The Pokédex lights up and flies up into the air with a spin, displaying a friendly face on the screen and it finally looks down at Andre.

“Congratulations! You have been chosen to receive me, a special Rotom Pokédex! I’m much more special than the already special Rotom Pokédex! How, you may ask? Well, let me show you!” The Pokédex spins around in the air then it starts glowing. Andre shields his eyes from the light, which then concentrates into a beam and strikes Andre in the chest. Shortly after, he feels a warm, tingling feeling throughout his body as short, light blue fur starts growing in patches around his body.

“What’s that for!” Andre looks back up at the Pokédex as the light calms down and it stops spinning around. The Pokédex watches with excitement as the fur spreads around and Andre’s jaw stretches forward into a rounded, short muzzle. His nose flattens against the end leaving only a couple of nostrils and he begins shrinking. “But…this can’t be real! My skin, and my face!” He reaches up to his face and starts feeling his muzzle as his ears slide to the top of his head and become more triangular. His clothes get looser and baggier as he continues shrinking. “What did you do?”

“Well, my mission is to bring Pokémon into this world! And I’ve enlisted you not only to be the first one but to help me accomplish my mission!”

Andre’s arms shorten, followed by his fingers stiffening and shortening. His fingernails grow longer and curl down, becoming small, feline claws. Soon, his arms are almost half their previous length and lost in his baggy shirt. He then feels a pressure in his tailbone as it extends, growing out long and thin. His pants offer no resistance to the growth due to him being so small. Soon a very long, ropey tail starts swaying around behind Andre. He looks back and realizes how small he is now. Andre went down to only two feet tall! Andre giggles with delight seeing how small and cute he is now.

His heels rise out of his shoes, then his toes start to merge together leaving three digits on each foot. His toenails grow out longer and curl down, becoming claws similar to those on his hands. Andre then feels a strange lightness in his body, feeling lighter not only from being much smaller but something else. Before he can dwell much on this, he starts floating! Andre looks around and then to the Pokédex, which he is now eye-level with. “Help? But how?” Andre shuffles out of his clothes and experimentally flies through the air around the Pokédex.

“You’re the first Pokémon I made, and I gave you a special power! You have the ability to make more Pokémon!”

Andre can indeed feel a special power within him. Even if he doesn’t know how to use it, he can tell that he has a gift. “But how? I don’t know how to use this!”

“All you have to do is focus! Just pick someone out and focus on them. Think about what they would look like as a Pokémon! Then your magic will take over from there!”

“Okay but where do I even start? So many people!”

“I’ll leave that up to you!” The Pokédex then goes dark and shrinks some. Soon, it’s much smaller and can easily fit in the mew’s paws. Andre picks it up and taps the screen and it lights up, showing a little splash screen that reads “Welcome to the Pokémon personality quiz! Fill this out to help decide which Pokémon to make your target!” Andre experiments with this some, filling out the quiz by selecting nearly random answers and gets an arcanine! Andre giggles at this and does a loop through the air with excitement. Not only is he his Pokésona now, but he also has the ability to make more Pokémon! Andre flies out the door, opening it with his magic and starts flying around the neighborhood in search of his first victim.

He finds a man walking down the sidewalk looking a little down, so he heads straight for him and floats right in front of his face. The man looks up and jumps, stopping suddenly and backing up a few steps. “Hey there!” Andre waves with excitement. “You were looking a little down, so I thought I’d cheer you up! Do you like Pokémon?”

The man stares back, unsure if he’s really seeing what’s in front of him. A blue mew that can talk? And here? “Y-Yeah but…are you real? Am I really seeing this?”

“Of course, I’m real, touch me!”

The man reaches out and gently touches Andre, feeling his soft fur. It definitely feels real, warm, and soft to the touch. “Woah, you are real! So, how are you going to cheer me up?”

“Well, that all is a surprise, but I do have a fun little quiz for you! Don’t worry, there’s no wrong answers! This’ll just help to find the perfect Pokémon match for you! What’s your name?”

“Oh, okay! That does sound fun! And my name is Drew!” Drew thinks maybe this mew will give him a real Pokémon, that would be so exciting!

Andre then starts reading off each of the questions, making sure that he understands each one and guiding him through. Soon enough the quiz is done, and Andre has his answer. “Oh, you’re gonna like this one, but it’s a surprise!”

“Alright, I’m ready!” Drew looks up at Andre excitedly, ready to receive his Pokémon.

Andre then flies in circles around Drew, and his tail begins to glow, followed by Drew watching Andre fly around him. The glow subsides, and Drew can feel a warm, tingling sensation wash throughout his body. He then begins shrinking as his skin starts growing green scales along the arms, spreading up and down. Once the scales reach his shoulders and sweep across his torso, they turn a cream color on his belly, leaving the green covering his sides and back.

“Wait, what’s going on? I thought you were going to give me a Pokémon!”

“No, silly! I can’t just make Pokémon appear out of nothing! To accomplish my mission, I have to work with what I’ve got!”

“Mission?”

“Yeah, to bring Pokémon into this world!”

“So…I’m becoming a Pokémon?”

“You got it!”

Drew looks over his hands as his fingers merge together, leaving only three digits. His remaining fingernails grow out longer and sharp, now more resembling claws. As the scales reach his legs he shrinks further, and his limbs all shorten in relation to his body. Drew just watches with wonder as he starts to think about what Pokémon he’s becoming.

“But…I don’t want to be a Pokémon, I wanted to have my own! I wanted to be a trainer!”

“Sorry! I’ve got to work with what I’ve got!”

“Couldn’t you have told me before though?”

“It’s more fun this way!” Andre gives a mischievous chuckle.

“Not for me!” Drew nearly falls over as he loses his balance. His toes all merge together, and feet flatten out, then curl back creating leaf-like feet and legs connected to his torso. He feels a pressure in his tailbone as it grows longer and wider, expanding out to grow a long green and cream tail with a yellow stripe of scales going down the back of it. The tip grows out to each side and a large, flat leaf sprouts from his tail. Drew looks back as he shrinks even further, now dwarfed in his clothes. “I’m…a snivy?”

“Right on! You caught on fast!”

Drew’s face stretches forward, nose flattening against the point where his muzzle ends. His eyes grow much larger, now taking up most of his face and ears disappear altogether, leaving only small holes. His hair falls out and then leafy structures grow out from his shoulders and curl backwards. Andre waves his tail around and Drew’s clothes disappear.

“There you go, Pokémon don’t need clothes!”

“But…I don’t wanna be a Pokémon!”

“Tch. Typical. I find you the perfect match and you complain about it. You humans are so ungrateful.”

“Waitwaitwait…I didn’t mean it like that, I’m sorry! I just wasn’t expecting this!”

“Of course, you weren’t, that’s the point!”

“What do I do now?”

“Have fun! You’re a Pokémon now, and if I can keep up, then you’ll have plenty of Pokémon friends to play with soon! Just don’t get caught!” Andre giggles mischievously again.

“Well…I guess I don’t have a choice, might as well…wait caught?”

“Well, of course! Wild Pokémon are prone to be caught by trainers, after all!”

“But…how do I not get caught?”

“You have to be strong! When you get hit with a Pokéball, all you have to do is keep fighting! As long as you keep fighting, eventually you’ll break free of the Pokéball and the trainer will be forced to give up or try again!”

“But I don’t know how to do that, I just started!”

“How about a little practice then?”

“Well…okay!”

Drew then spends the afternoon sparring with Andre, practicing moves and even practicing breaking out of Pokéballs. Of course when he gets “captured” it doesn’t matter since the Pokéballs aren’t registered to anyone, so it’s free practice!

Drew then bounds off into the forest, getting adjusted to his new body. He has trouble walking at first on thin, leafy legs but gets the hang of it. He even has a chance to practice some moves in the forest on trees and other animals.

Meanwhile, Andre spends the next few weeks going door-to-door transforming people into various Pokémon. Some willing, others not so much. Andre learned very quickly how to defend himself against a newly transformed Pokémon who is rather upset and has uncontrolled power. Before long, though, roughly 20% of the human population was transformed into Pokémon, and Andre’s mission was complete. Of course, he didn’t stop there. It was way too much fun transforming people to leave it at that!

He set up a shop in a small town offering transformation services for anyone who wanted them. Most of the time he spent at his shop granting people’s wishes of becoming a Pokémon, or sometimes granting Pokémon’s wishes of being something else or even a human! In his free time, he liked to prank people, such as swapping Pokémon around with their trainers, or turning naughty people into Pokémon as punishment. Andre lives out the rest of his life as a mischievous little blue mew, helping people where they need it and having a little fun in the process!
