"Heh heh heh. This is the end of the line for you kid!" A man in a black uniform with an R on it had sent out his Houndoom. A boy wearing a skull necklace and a bandana was cowering against. "N-no! Please! Sp-pare me! I-I can't get you that much money!" "I know kid, your body parts will make up for that amount! Houndoom! Inferno!" The Houndoom then let loose an intense blast of fire, burning the poor boy as he screamed in agony. "SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP MEEE!!!" An intense burning smell filled the air. "HA! No one can help you now, kiddo!" The Rocket Grunt walked off as the boy burned to death, the smell of burning flesh was getting to him.
The boy didn't know what happened next, but for some reason, he fell to a lake, hurtling toward it like a flaming meteorite. Incidentally, he was still on fire due to the Houndoom's attack. Falling into the lake hurt, but it put out that nasty fire. Oy, he was gonna be feeling that for days.
Still... Team Rocket was nowhere in sight. "This place... I think it might be a good hideaway. Doesn't seem like a bad place to live."
A couple of loud thuds had woken a sleeping Pokemon up. An Eastern Shellos moaned as he woke up. "Ungh..." That dream again. When was he gonna stop having nightmares about Team Rocket? He was free now. He didn't have to worry about them anymore. He didn't even have anyone to go back to thanks to Team Rocket. Still... what was that noise? He'd better go check it out.
The Shellos didn't know how long he had been living in this world, but it had been quite a while. This area was a home of sorts to him. He knew the ins and outs of the area and of some of the hostile Pokemon he had encountered before. His survival skills in the human world helped him out here. He didn't know why he turned into a Shellos of all Pokemon, but it was one of his favorites, so he couldn't complain.
Arriving at the lake, he saw plenty of Pokemon knocked out. "WHOA! What happened here?!" He rushed over to one of the Pokemon, a Riolu to be precise, as it was already awake. "Hey! Hey! You okay little guy?" He asked the Pokemon.

Holly remembered following something. It was too bright to make it out. so unclear. She chased after it, moving faster and faster, but feeling smaller and smaller as she ran. She felt the warmth of the sun and vanished into the sensation, where she was dragged far away.
She awoke next to a Riolu and a Shellos. A huge Riolu and Shellos come to think of it. Spectaularly sized. "I've got to take a picture of this..." she said a bit disoriented. She realized she was on the ground, which could be the reason they were so big... She stood up.
"Camera..." she said not realizing that something was wrong. She looked down. "This can't be right... I think I see fur..." she said. There was a camera dangling around her neck, between her legs. "What the hell is wrong with me?" she asked, presumably no one.

Brent was falling, but that was okay. He'd caught Scorp. They'd be okay. Then a rock hit him in the head and knocked him out.
Thud!
His head hitting a rock woke him up.
"Ow, stupid cliff giving way," Brent muttered to himself. He rubbed the back of his head, feeling both in better and worse shape than expected. He had a migraine, and a weird stretch along his side, but nothing worse than bruises.
His hand felt a little odd though, so he had a look at it. It was purple. And a pincer. Not a hand. Which then revealed to him that was now a gligar. Somehow.
Looking up Brent saw that he'd also managed to fall off Route 45 and land by a lake. Somehow.
With a shrug, he found his feet, and natural as anything perched on his new tail. Seemed there were some other pokemon around, speaking English. Somehow.
Yeah, well you're a pokemon now aren't you? Go and say hi.
Scorp? Brent asked silently. He didn't get a response. Might as well. He plodded over to the motley group. Great-uncle Koga that you should always try to blend in, that was the ninja way. And well, telling someone you were a human turned pokemon would get you labelled crazy.
"Hello, I'm Scorp," Brent said with a little wave. "This a beach party?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Totally fine."
Ash decided to just go with it, and not freak out too much over it. After all, this might just be a dream. But on the off chance this was reality, he would make do.
He looked over at Holly, and said, "It looks like we're Pokemon..."

"So not a beach party, then?" Brent asked rhetorically. He flopped into a seat, then shuffled his tail out from underneath. Having a tail's weird.
"By the sounds of it, you two weren't always pokemon too?"

'Pokemon!?" Holly said. "I can't be a Pokemon." She said walking forward clumsily. "Wait... Four Legs... Four Legs...:

Marcus was in his villa, cleaning the windows as he saw a pillar of light at the lake. "What in Arceus´ name was that?" he thought. After thinking about it and realizing he didn´t have much else to do, he decided to investigate. After a short walk (or float) he came to the place, he had seen the light orginate from. Then he hid himself in some nearby bushes and saw a Riolu, a Shellos, a Smeargle and a Gligar sitting together, looking rather confused. As he didn´t want to scare them away, he continued hiding and waited...

"I'm a Deerling." Holly admitted. "I'm a cure fuzzy adorable Deerling!" she said with the utmost of bitterness. "Why? What happened? Where am I? How do I turn back? Someone answer me!" she shouted in frustration.
Holly is in fact a Deerling.

Shellos raised an eyebrow at the group. "Beach party? Scorp? You're weird." The Shellos commented to the Gligar. "Though if we're introducing ourselves, my name is... (What is my name anyway? I never remembered...), uh, well I think that can wait till all've ya'll woken up." He said.
He watched as the others talked amongst themselves. The Deerling seemed to be quite irritable. Wait a minute. "Too? All of ya'll didn't used to be Pokemon?" He tilted his head at that. Facing Holly, he said. "Sooo, you weren't always a Deerling? Uh, as for where you are, I live here, so I guess you guys are at my house... I don't know what the heck happened to you guys, or how you guys can 'turn back'." The Shellos told her. He was getting bored, so he went over to the other Pokemon and began poking at them.

Holly said. "I'm sorry. I'm freaking out right now. I used to be human. And now I'm an adorable baby deer. I don't want to be cute! I want to be human! With hands. And my family. And people! Get me out of here!." she said pawing on the ground with her hooves.

When Isaac awoke the first thing he noticed was that he seemed to be resting on a bed of grass. Not rock, grass. He was out! He would've celebrated, except he had also noticed that he couldn't feel his arms. Or legs. Scared of what awaited him he opened his eyes and checked himself out.
...
"Aaaaaah!" This wasn't his body, this wasn't his body at all. "W-What, how, why am I a Pokémon?!" He kept twisting his head around, panicking every time he saw a part of his- no, this unfamiliar body. He hadn't even noticed the others around him.

Deerling sighed. "What is this an epidemic! Why are we all Pokemon? Now an Aaron..." she said trying to catch her breath.

"What?!? They´re WHAT?!?" Marcus thought. "How is that even possible?" Feeling intrigued, he got closer, hiding behind a tree to hear them better.
Ash sighed, looking around at his panicking friends, I guess one could call them friends.
"Guys, if we're gonna find out what happened and how to reverse it, we need to calm down and act rationally."

Brent kept quiet about his own thoughts - that either this was dream, or the landslide had actually killed him. The others seemed to be having problems enough. And even if he didn't have fingers he at least had pincers.
"Yeah, panicking won't help anyone," Scorp agreed, flipping up and bouncing over to the Aron. The little pokemon was on its back, flailing about, looking every which way.* With a heave, Brent managed to tip him over.
"You okay?" Brent asked the really heavy pokemon. "I'm Scorp, what's your name?"

The Shellos was taken aback by this. "Wait, WHAT?! You guys used to be human?! (I thought I was the only one... Better not give away that piece of info, who knows how it might come in handy.) Uhh, I don't know how to change you guys back." He never even bothered to look for a way, and embraced his role as a Pokemon. He was slowly backing away from the Deerling, scared, until he went right back up to her face and said, "Also you talk too much." He told the Deerling.
He poked at the Aron, setting him right-side up. "Hey guy, you okay?" He asked. "So, what's your names?" He asked all of them. This was a strange bunch indeed. A thought occurred to him, one of them could be a member of Team Rocket. In that case, he really shouldn't give away the fact that he's a human.
The Shellos switched the subject due to not being able to keep his mind on one track. "So are you guys gonna stay here or something? Not all the Pokemon living here are friendly you know." He told them.

"I-Isaac." He'd started shaking after convincing himself the thing with the giant claws was coming over to attack him, and even after being helpfully flipped over he was still shaking. His metallic armour clinked at his movement. Oh yeah, I'm an- I'm in an Aron's body.
"What kind of Pokémon are you?" He'd never seen a Pokémon like Scorp before in Hoenn. He couldn't recognise any of the other Pokémon either. Maybe they were native to this strange place. The news that they weren't all nice here made him shake even more. "And, uh, yeah, I'd prefer to get out of here. I, I'm not good at fighting."

"Oh, I'm a gligar -" Brent paused to recall the pokedex entry, going a little cross-eyed, tongue stuck out in concentration "- The Fly-Scorpion Pokemon. It uses its wind membranes to glide as if sliding. It startles foes by clamping on their faces, then jabs with its poison stinger. Not that I've ever stung anyone, in fact I'm not how it works."
As he finished speaking, Brent raised his stinger to look at it. He prodded it with a pincer but nothing really happened. Maybe it's like tickling yourself?

"I'm a Holly... I mean I'm a Deerling." said Holly. "The wimpy baby form of Sawsbuck. And as for the other... We've got a Shellos, a Gligar, and an Aaron." she said. "This all seems so random. Not even the same species of Pokemon." she noted.

Deerling, Sawsbuck, Gligar, Shellos...what? He still didn't recognise them. Although, he had heard that some regions that neighboured Hoenn had their own special species of Pokémon. And the Holly Deerling person at least knew what kind he was. "Well, thanks for tipping me over and, uh, nice to meet you, and all of you too." Now that he didn't feel like curling up into a ball he took his time in examining himself, though it was hard to get used to his eyes being in a different position. "So, does anyone actually know where we are? Or even what's going on?"

"No." Holly said. "I have no clue where we are. All I wanted to do was take pictures and now I'm stuck as a Deerling in the middle of nowhere." she sighed.

Shellos blinked at the Gligar for a while before speaking up. "... Oooooookaaaaaaayyy." He said. He looked at the others before speaking up himself. "As for my name, uh... (Right. I forgot it. What to say. ... DUH! Alias, dude!) You guys can call me Squigly!" He told them.
Squigly turned to Issac. "I dunno what's going on here, but I can tell you guys where we are. You guys are right outside my home!" He said, indicating a tall and large patch of grass nearby. His mood turned sour. "I was having a nice nap, till you all came crashing down outside." He grumbled. "As for this place, you guys are in Lakeside Forest." The Shellos told them.

"Lakeside Forest..." Holly said. "I'm not in Unova anymore. We're sorry for distrubing your home but... We're in a big mess.... "

Ash groaned, he did not remember very much of where he had been before waking up there. But he did remember looking into the face of someone he disliked quite a bit, but then nothing else. He vaguely remembered falling, maybe he had been beaten up or something and left out there.
He got up, and looked over himself in a nearby lake. He shouted, "I-I'm a Pokemon!?" He reminded himself not to panic, and he looked back over, seeing other Pokemon lying down nearby where he was.
"Oh boy." He had to wonder if these others were in the same situation as him...
