He was running.
He was running despite the large gash in his leg. Weaving his way around the labyrinth of nameless alleyways and dark streets that he had lived in all his life, Tom did not run for himself, he ran for the injured female absol he carried in his arms. Behind him he heard the shouts of his pursuers, a group of 5 thugs. Tom had always been a thief, living on the streets often led people down that route, but only if they could pull it off. Tom was one of those who could, and could do it well, however this caused him to become arrogant and that is what led him to this situation.
When he first saw the group he had thought them an easy target, slow and dumb. As it turns out he had been right for 4 of them, the other however was also an experienced thief and as soon and Tom had tried his pockets he was caught. As soon as he was caught the group all drew their Pokemon at him. The fight at first seemed short-lived as Tom’s absol perfectly launched herself from the top of a nearby building launching a shadow ball as she fell, quickly dispatching a kadabra and a hitmonlee, and landing perfectly on her feet to launch a quick attack on a startled wartortle, sending it flying. As this happened a sandslash raced up behind her only to be leaped over and taken out with a highly effective razor wind. Then as she turned around the absol was suddenly met with the stinger of a charging beedrill which hit her on the horn stunning her for a second before the other stinger met her in a swift uppercut, the bug attributes of the attack causing it to inflict massive damage as well as sending her crashing into a wall. Slowly she got up and leaped at her assailant with a quick attack only for it to be dodged. As soon as it dodged the beedrill initiated a double team technique, making a double of itself and both flew down to rain down on the absol with a flurry of quick jabs. The absol took the blows, all the while her sickle crackling with dark energy. Suddenly she made her move with a fury swipe to the beedrill in front of her. The attack hit perfectly only to have the beedrill flicker and fade away. Meanwhile the other beedrill charged forwards seeing a chance. Absol tuned her head and thrust the end of her sickle at the charging Pokemon catching it in the chest. For a second there was silence, then there was a loud crack as the energy surrounding the absol's scythe discharged into her opponent, sending both of them flying, the beedrill smoking slightly.
"Absol!" screamed Tom running to the side of his injured partner.
"Impressive" stated the ringleader of the group, however this is where you pay and we take that friend of yours as a 'repayment' for your insolence." He glanced at one of his cronies who was returning his Pokemon to its poke-ball. Seeing the glance he nodded and reached to his belt, pulling out a long sharp knife.
Seeing the knife Tom picked up the absol and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. As re ran he caught his leg on something cutting it deep and painfully. He winced with the pain but did not stop running, more concerned with his Pokemon than he was for himself. However he could not keep it up, he was loosing blood fast and the added weight of his absol was waring him down fast. Eventually he stumbled and fell. As he struggled to get to his feet he heard the sound of the gang catching up with him.
He was trapped.
Standing painfully he made up his desperate resolve, running forward he raised his fist in a futile attempt to drive off his pursuers. The thug with the knife easily blocked his attack and made a thrust with the knife. Tom suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, looking down he saw the knife buried there are stumbled back, turned around and crouched over his fallen friend. Suddenly there was another pain, this one however was in his head and then in his stomach. He doubled over quivering on the ground as the pain spread and intensified until he was no longer aware of the pain of the wounds in his chest and leg. The pain was such that he didn't notice that his skin was slowly taking on a light purple hue which then started to darken heavily. His face softened and became less angular while his shoulders, arms and legs became slightly slimmer and his hands softened, his fingers becoming longer and thinner. As the changes wracked his body he had no choice but to cry out but as he did so he heard his voice turn to a low growl then become a high pitched, girl like scream. His hips started to expand outwards and his hair grew to fall down to his waist which itself was becoming much thinner. Soon his hair became much darker and his eyes, although not changing colour, became wider and slightly more rounded, his chest expanded outwards to form a pair of ample breasts that pushed out at his top and his groin seemed to contract on the outside and expand on the inside as him manhood was converted making him decidedly female. Finally the knife fell out of his chest and he seemed to fade for a second and his wounds stopped bleeding although still gaping open.
Slowly he (well technically now she) rose to her feet and turned to face the group behind her, now standing about a foot shorter. As she saw the 5 startled and amazed men she was consumed by her pain and anger. She walked forwards, her eyes slowly glowing blue until it was impossible for the 4 thugs to look at anything else. At that moment Tom said one word and although the word that came from her mouth was in fact "gengar" there was an echo that filled the mind of the 4 men, the echo of the word "hypnosis" ricocheting in the voice they had just heard screaming out in agony. A few seconds later the 4 crumpled to the ground. Tom suddenly grabbed her head, her mind filling with a sharp pain and the glow subsided from her stare. Taking another step forwards Tom's eyes changed colour, now glowing a bright blood red. She looked up at the unconscious men and the echo returned, this with the words "dream eater". The sleeping men were slowly surrounded with a red blanket of energy which then started to move towards the newly morphed girl who began to absorb it. The pain in Tom's mind intensified but as she began to drain the energy of the thugs it subsided, her wounds also closed up and healed leaving no trace of their existence and her hair began to wave, then began to move like long, black, falling flames. She took another step forwards the glow once again fading and continued to walk until she was only a meter away from the remaining thief. As she did so the man tried to turn and run but stumbled and fell, he looked behind him and in sheer terror of what he had seen began to crawl backwards, backing into a wall. Tom reached the man and crouched in front of him, her eyes now glowing a dark green. Slowly her hand became filled with a dark shadow as the echo from her mind now said "night shade". With that she put her palm on the man's head and with a cry of terror his rolled back and he lost consciousness.
The pain in Tom's head brought her out of her trance as she clutched her head in agony. At that moment she remembered her absol, who was still lying in the street, breathing with difficulty. She staggered over to her and began to cry. As she did so her eyes changed red once more and the energy gathered again around the unconscious men. As the energy began to move Tom looked around and before she could take any stopped the energy stopped it and with all her will redirected it to cover his absol. The pain in her head erupted with new fury but he endured, he had to save his friend. Slowly the energy soaked into the soft fur of the absol and she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that her friend was okay Tom said one word, this time in human-speak
"Absol..." she said weakly and then passed out.
OOC: sorry if my char seems too powerful but its like a case of dead man's grip and even though she survived due to the dream eater, the rest of the fight still almost killed her. Oh well, thats psycique (sp?) pwers for you.
