A run-of-the-mill peaceful day in a random forest, the Bird Pokemon chirp, and the sun shining.
Kieiru passed through the trees of the forest without a sound, a Growlithe at his side, enjoying the warm sun.
"Ah, what a wonderful day, right, Kieiru?" The growlithe asked his human friend.
Kieiru looked down at Growlithe and smiled slightly, bending over to pet the friendly canine. "It is. Its not too warm, or too cold."
Growlithe enjoyed the petting, panting, with his tongue sticking out. "so, We helping another kid today?" he asked.
Kieiru smiled at him before standing straight, stretching his arms above his head. "If there's another kid that needs help, yes. If not then we'll figure something else out."
Growlithe then caught whiff of something, "Hey... I think I smell something... like... a Human who hasn't washed in a week!" He said.
Kieiru looked down at Growlithe and pushed him with his foot, crossing his arms as if to cover his armpits. "I just took a shower, thats not very nice Growlithe."
"No, not you, another human nearby, a boy, if I've got this scent right." Growlithe testified, "this way." and he trotted off toward the east.
Double checking to make sure he didn't smell just in case Growlithe was teasing, Kieiru followed after him, pocketing his hands. "If this is just a joke, its not funny."
However, to his surprise, it wasn't, Growlithe soon arrive in a clear, where he saw a human boy, at least age 7, sleeping in the coils of a serperior. "As always my sniffer never fails."
Kieiru looked at Growlithe then at the boy in the coils in the Serperior. He was ready to send Growlithe in to chase the serpent off, but seeing how comfortable the boy was, and how the Serperior wasn't constricting, he held back. Stepping forward quietly, he put a finger up to his lips to keep Growlithe quiet, as he tip-toed closer.
However, the Serperior already caught sight of Kieiru, "Back off, go back to raymond and tell him that Yukio isn't ever coming home." it warned.
"Yukio? Raymond?" He didn't advance any further in fear of getting himself or his Growlithe friend hurt, but put his hands up. "Im not here to take the boy- Yukio as you call him- anywhere. My friend just picked up on his scent, and we investigated. We're not taking him away...though, why would a Serperior have him?"
"Like I haven't heard that before, But since you seem Sincere-" the Serperior used Vine Whip to grab and wrap Kieiru and Growlithe both up tightly and bring them up to her face. "-I'll give you one chance, Who are you? and are you working for Raymond Flynn?"
Kieiru grunted when he was wrapped up in Serperior's vines, looking over at Growlithe when he yelped as he too was wrapped, then looked at Serperior when brought closer. "I'm Kieiru Mustanu, and I'm not working for anyone."
The Serperior was relieved to here Kieiru wasn't after Yukio, but didn't not yet release the two from her wines. "Then Perhaps you can help me and Yukio. My Name is Kara, I'm Yukio's Guardian and Caretaker. Will you be so kind as to hear our story?" the Serperior calmly asked, lossening the vines to be less harmful.
Kieiru sighed softly when the vines were loosened, looking down at Growlithe, thankful to see he wasn't hurt, then looked back at Serperior. "We'll listen Kara."
Kara happily sat the two down, making sure they were comfy, "Okay, Yukio Flynn was a rich boy, and his father was a selfish jerk who only cares about money, he constantly make yukio undergo lessons everyday, on top of school, and Yukio was barely ever allow to play. I was purchased to care for Yukio after his mother was forced to divorce and wasn't allow custody of Yukio. But I refused to tolerate seeing the cruelty Yukio suffered, so I managed to get a chat with my friend, and He decided to run away, bringing me along, and we've been on the run from mr. Flynn's hired goons for the past week." Kara Explained.
Kieiru looked at Serperior when they were given seats, looking at Yukio as the story was explained, frowning slightly. "They'll be on the hunt for you, I hope you're aware. They won't stop until they find every Serperior in this region and make sure Yukio isn't with them. You're lucky to have made it this far and not get caught."
"You're right... I need a better way to protect Yukio." Kara said, sparking an Idea in growlithe.
"Kieiru, what about your special powers?" the canine suggested. "That'll make Yukio and Serperior safe once and for all."
Kieiru looked down at Growlithe, then looked up at Kara. "Perhaps I can help get Yukio off the radar for awhile." He gestured to the sleeping boy before looking back at Kara. "He'll still be safe in your care, he just...wont look the same."
"Explain please." Kara requested, feeling rather curious about Kieiru's idea.
Kieiru didn't take his gaze off of Kara, as he once again gestured to Yukio. "I'm a mage, and using my power, I'd be able to turn Yukio into a pokemon. While his father's goons are running around looking for a Serperior and a boy, they wont pay any attention to a Serperior and another pokemon of his choice. They'll suspect you for being Serperior, but when they see that what it with you isn't Yukio the human and instead Yukio the pokemon, they won't bother you further."
Kara smiled at the Idea, "Splendid idea, Yukio told me he's always wanted to be a Pokemon. Preferably a Riolu." Kara said.
"A Riolu...he'd be small and wouldn't draw much attention..." Kieiru's gaze was focused on Yukio now, mulling things over in his head.
"one moment please, I'll wake him." Kara said, gently waking the boy in her coils.
"Huh? Kara?" said the boy as he woke up. Kara uncoiled him, sliding him onto the ground.
"Yukio, this is Kieiru, our new friend. He's going to turn you into a Riolu, so that your father won't ever find you." Kana explained.
"R...Really?" Yukio asked, looking at Kieiru "you're really gonna turn me into my favorite Pokemon?"
Kieiru looked at Yukio and smiled at him when he woke up, holding his hand up in greeting before nodding. "That's right. For the safety of both you and your friend, you'll be turned into a Riolu to not draw attention to yourselves, since according to your Serperior, there are men after you."
Yukio gladly accepted the greeting, "Thank you, thank you so much." Yukio smiled, "Go ahead, do it."
Kieiru smiled and shook some of the vines free of his arms, before extending his hand in a handshake. "Hope you're ready Yukio."
Yukio nodded as he shook Kieiru's hands.
At the touch of their hands, Kieiru's spell transfered onto Yukio, the magic already beginning to change him. "It wont hurt, so don't panic."
Yukio gulped as he felt a growing discomfort from his rear.
Assiting Yukio with his clothing, Kieiru helped him remove his pants to relieve some of the discomfort, as blue fur spread on his back, then began to form a tail.
The Fur was quick in spread, soon coating his entire body below the neck, Yukio then felt tingling in his feet.
As the tingling intensified, Yukio's feet morphed into black paws, small pawpads forming at the bottom of his new paws.
Yukio was amazed by his new paws and Tail as the tingling moved to his hands.
Now with the tingling in his hands, they shrank into paws as well, forming three fingers as pads formed on his palms.
"Wow, it's really working... Thank you, Kieiru!" Yukio said, as his changes halted.
Kieiru smiled slightly as Yukio's changed stopped temporarily, looking at him as he shrank a bit. "I'm glad you're enjoying the change so far."
Yukio managed to stand up, and Jumped into kieirus arms, Hugging his self labeled hero.
Kieiru stumbled when Yukio jumped into his arms, smiling and laughing softly as he patted the half-riolu's back. "You're welcome."
Yukio just continued to hug Kieiru as the fur coated his head.
Kieiru watched as the fur covered Yukio's head, his face altering as it stretched into a muzzle, his ears shifting into the famed dreds of the Riolu. The mage moved Yukio away from him to get a look at him, smiling. "All done."
"Yay!!" The riolu cheered happily, before Kara recoiled him.
"you look adorable as a riolu. now Howbout you go back to your nap?" she said, before using some strange power to, believe it or not, hypnotize Yukio back to sleep. She then looked at Kieiru, "Thank you for doing this for Yukio... hey, your clothes look alittle baggy on you."
Kieiru smiled as Kara settled Yukio in her coils and put him to sleep, resting his arms on his knees, before feeling his sleeves stretch over his hands, looking down at them. "Huh? Baggy...?"
Kieiru found himself trapped in his baggy clothes, but Kara was kind enough to use vine whip to get him out, reveal Kieiru to be looking like a seven-year-old, (though luckly his undies shrank with him).
"Are you okay, Kieiru?" Kara and Growlithe simultaneously.
Kieiru looked down at his suddenly younger body, blushing when he found he was in nothing but his drawers. "I shrank!" He squeaked as he covered his mouth, looking at Kara and Growlithe, not expecting to hear such a high pitched voice coming from his body. "This can't be real..."
"Here, you can borrow these Pajamas I kept for Yukio." Kara offered Kieiru a Set of one piece footed Pajamas. "It's better than nothing, after all." She said.
Kieiru looked at the pajamas and frowned, holding them up before pulling them on, a blush in his face out of embarrassment. "I can't believe Im back to wearing kid's pajamas."
"Here, you can stay with me till we find someone who can help you." Kara said, coiling up the boy, placing him right next to Yukio.
Kieiru sighed softly as he was coiled up, crossing his arms with a pout as he looked at his feet, then at Yukio. "This has never happened..."
"Wait, Kieiru, remember when Yukio hugged you during the transformation Halt?" Growlithe asked.
Kieiru looked over at Growlithe, who seemed huge now with his smaller body, but nodded. "I do...you don't think the spell wore off onto me?"
"That's explain my thought, the spell must've rubbed off a little onto you, causing you to... regress into a kid."
With a frustrated grunt, Kieiru's head dropped, his arms still crossed in his pout. "Great...wonder how long this'll last..."
"Well, Sir... your transformations usually peramanent... aren't they?"
Kieiru's head fell even further, his arms going to his sides. "Oh no..." He whined, hiding his face behind his small hands. "Why now..."
"Please don't be sad Kieiru." Kara said coiling the boy into a full cocoon like Yukio. "I'll help out. I know a few people who could help you out."
Kieiru uncovered his face and looked up at Kara, pushing his hair out of his face. "How? How can they help?"
"They're great with kids, and if this is permenant and all, they can take care of you." Kara explained, before getting on the move, carrying bot Yukio and Kieiru, Growlithe following closely.
Kieiru squeaked softly when he was carried, looking at Growlithe for a moment, before looking ahead as Kara moved along the ground. "Who are these people?"
"The people at a place called the St. Jonas Orphanage." Kara said. "they'll care for you can let you keep your growlithe pal."
Kieiru sighed quietly in defeat, looking at the coils holding him. "I hope so...I hope this doesn't last forever..."
Kara soon delivered the boy to the Orphanage caretakers.
One of the caretakers ruffled kieiru's hair, "What's your name?"
Kieiru flattened his hair when it was ruffled, before mumbling his response. "Kieiru."
"Kieiru? that's a nice name." the man said, picking kieiru and Growlithe. "Let's get you to your new room." the man carried them upstairs to a small room. "You two can share the bunk beds."
Kieiru was about to protest to being picked up, but when he tried, he'd already been hoisted into the man's arms, having a hard time remembering that he was a child..."Thank you Sir."
"Call me Thomas, now you and your puppy pal look tired, you should get some rest." the man said closing the room door.
Kieiru watched Thomas leave the room and close the door, sighing softly as he looked at Growlithe. "Guess it's bed time for us..." He rubbed his head and looked down at his pajamas, then looked at the bunk beds. "You want top or bottom?" Seeing the look Growlithe gave him, he smirked and helped him onto the bottom bunk, helping him get settled before he climbed up to the bunk above him.
"Day one of being a kid again." Kieiru muttered before falling asleep in his new bed.
