114. Fourth Wall Post [VIDEO/ACTION FOR ANYWHERE]

[foolishwren]

.... Yeah.

Yeah, you're in the complete wrong region.

Mount Moon's in Kanto.

_{[Heather huffs out a sigh and takes hold of Cujo's mane as the wayward Grey and his weird spacedog head back to their spaceship, which had landed conveniently on top of one of the Pokemon Centers, barely even remarkable in the middle of all the other chaos that's happening.]}

Man, at this point, the only thing that could surprise me on weekends like this are things staying normal.

<sub>[--jesus CHRIST.]

[Well, that wakes her up.]

[She sits up abruptly, possibly throwing him off in the process.]</sub>

What? WHAT?

HENRY?

_{[... That was definitely his voice, but where WAS he?]}

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry takes a tumble and lands upside down against the wall with his stupid broadleaf tail in his face.]}

Something is wrong with our shampoo.

[foolishwren]

_{[Oh Henry.]}

Henry?

_{[She still doesn't realize his voice is coming from the creature on the floor. So when she looks at the Leafeon, she assumes that Henry must have caught a new team member.]}

Henry, where the heck are you?

<sub>[IS... IS HE UNDER THE BED?]

[She leans down to look.]</sub>

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The Leafeon rolls over and wobbles toward the bed on its hind feet with his little front legs hanging awkwardly at its sides. Henry is determined to walk like a human. We'll see how long that lasts.]}

Heather, it's ME!

[foolishwren]

He-- ... whooooa.

_{[... Henry, you... shrunk. And turned green.]}

... What.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[He couldn't 8C any harder if he tried. Henry used Whimper.]}

I was taking a shower and-- and-- this. _{I'm not even high, I'm out of berries.}

[foolishwren]

... Shi-iiit.

<sub>[She leaned down to peer closer at him.]

[A lot of weird things had happened in Johto, but never anybody getting turned into a Pokemon. And she had no idea it was one of those weekends yet.]</sub>

Uh... Man.

At... least you can talk?

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry nods slowly and sinks to his haunches. His little legs aren't meant to stand like that.]}

I was so afraid you'd just be hearing pokemonpokemonpokemon from me...I don't even know what pokemon I am.

[foolishwren]

I... think you're one of the Eevees.

<sub>[She's never actually spotted a Leafeon before but that Eevee face is pretty distinctive.]

[But then a thought occurs to her and she pulls out her PokeGear, opening the Dex function.]</sub>

LEAFEON, the VERDANT Pokemon!

When you see LEAFEON asleep in a patch of sunshine, you'll know it is using photosynthesis to produce clean air.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The Leafeon's ears twitch as the gear announces just what the hell he's become.]}

Huh...I guess it could be worse. I could have been a Muk...or a Bidoof.

[foolishwren]

Yeah.

You're kinda, you know, cute.

_{[Setting down the PokeGear, she reaches out to grab the tips of his ears gently and hold them up like she does with her own Pokemon sometimes. Happy ears!]}

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[All the fur along the lanky yellow creature's body bristled and his face crumpled into a hilarious offended expression as she gave him HAPEE EARS.]

[Henry used Growl.]</sub>

[foolishwren]

... Oh my god, are you growling at me?

_{[She proceeds to give him SAD EARS.]}

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Heather was making important poke'science discoveries because never before had a pokemon looked more offended.]}

Heather, I swear to God I'll cough up a furrball in your boots.

[foolishwren]

Like your weird cat doesn't already do that twice a day.

_{[But she does let go of his ears, reaching up to scratch the side of her face contemplatively.]}

I wonder if this is anything like that thing a few years ago. When everybody got hit with Legendary Pokemon steroids in the air or something.

[no_ufo_ending]

Burger would never do that. Burger's perfect.

_{[Once his ears are returned to them, Henry pats at them a little protectivly before walking over to where his sleeping bag is piled. To keep himself busy he starts trying to put on socks because it has occurred to him that he is in fact naked.]}

Eugh, do I...

_{[Crispy Heather had freaked him out something awful.]}

[foolishwren]

_{[Because socks will definitely remove the problem elements of nudity, Henry. Definitely.]}

No, Burger is gross. The sooner you accept that, the better off humanity is.

_{[Crouching down next to him, she looks him over again.]}

... On second thought, I don't think so. That thing was less like I was turning into a Pokemon and more like I was turning into... I dunno, an X-Man or something.

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[The Leafeon nods. That was true and Heather's deal had gone much, much slower and had followed some strangeness. But this? This was out of the blue unless--]

[His ears stand all the way up and he turns to look toward the window before bounding over it. There is a loud, resounding TOOT TOOT as a bright yellow schoolbus with eyes whizzes past.]</sub>

...Oh.

[foolishwren]

_{[.... Yeah. OH.]}

... Well, that explains it.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry holds his little yellow face in his paws.]}

I want to go back to bed...

[foolishwren]

Look on the bright side.

In a few days, you probably won't remember this at all.

[no_ufo_ending]

I guess so...

_{[Henry hops down from the window and skulks over to his sleepingbag where he wriggles inside of it all the way to the end and settles like a lump.]}

I'm not here.

[foolishwren]

C'mon, Henry. If you stay in bed it'll probably come to life or something.

You know these weekends are some Yellow Submarine shit.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The lump didn't move.]}

I'm not here.


<sub>[Suddenly an enormous black hole lined with runes etched in blood opens beneath the sleeping bag and corner of the bed. The bag and pokemon disappear and the bed tips upwards and falls part of the way in]

[Another hole opens in the ceiling and dumps the bag out on the other end of the room near the door. Henry nearly breaks his neck scrambling out of the bag. He bristles, tail and ears up.]</sub>

What the hell. No, no, not again! Every time it's the same thing over and over!

[foolishwren]

<sub>[It happens so quickly there's barely time to even react, much less DO anything about it.]

[So all Heather can do is watch as Henry gets unceremoniously Portal'd across the room.]</sub>

.... Told you.

Yellow submarine shit.

_{[Except the hole had escaped the pocket and gotten some tattoos and a mind of its own.]}
