"No way..." Hilda said in soft awe. As she expected, the Pansage had indeed managed to turn the tables and shrink her. But to her surprise, she'd shrunken way smaller than she ever expected!
The tiny girl stood still from the newfound fear of her expanded surroundings, trees that towered over her before were now like skyscrapers in Castlelia City, flowers and bushes now took on the same towering stature that the trees had when she was normal-sized, and even the grass she was in now threatened to swallow her up it was so big, blades of grass were nearly as big as she was!
Hilda couldn't be more than 3 inches tall!
The recently reduced girl took in her new, much bigger world, with awe. She was equal parts afraid and amazed by how small she had become. She wondered if this is what Juniper had felt like when she had shrunk her. But that was in a more controlled setting, Hilda thought, out here in the wild, only 3 inches tall, was a completely different story.
"Pan! Pan! Pansage!" The petty Pokemon cried from above.
Hilda looked up and saw the culprit of her shrinking dancing high above her on a tree stump. Pansage's were normally not so big, but at her new scale Hilda likened the creature's comparative size to that of an Onix, or even bigger! And the stump that it was on was even bigger than her house!
"Hey, you... you thief!" Hilda hesitated to say the words a little, knowing full well that she had stolen the size ray in the first place to shrink some Pokemon. She thought it ironic now that she was the one being shrunken by Pokemon instead!
"Give that back!" Hilda stomped her tiny foot and pointed up, way up, at the towering Pokemon. Hilda's curiosity at the her and the world's new scales was gone, replaced by an angry 3-inch tall girl's determination to catch this menace of a Pokemon, not to mention get herself back to normal size.
Always athletic and somewhat hot-headed, Hilda wasn't going to let being shrunken to smaller than a Joltik stop her from getting her revenge. So she ran over to the stump, not caring about what she would, or even could, do to the much larger and much stronger Pokemon to get the size ray back. All she cared about was getting the size ray back, growing herself back to normal, then shrinking the Pokepunk and catching it!
However, Hilda soon ran into her first roadblock, the very stump she needed to climb to even get face-to-toe with the mean Pansage. As she noted before, it was even bigger than her whole house. But luckily for Hilda, her new size allowed her to see some new tiny details on the dark bark, namely small little indents that she could use as handholds to climb up the worn-down former tree.
Hilda wasted no time in starting her ascent, climbing up the stump with a renewed vigor courtesy of her will to restore her size. On the way up, Hilda took some time to appreciate that being small allowed her to climb that stump, but at the same time she knew that if she hadn't shrunk in the first place, she'd never need to worry about such things. It was interesting to the shrunken girl that her small size seemed to make climbing the rough stump a little easier. Hard surfaces like the stump might've been a pain to deal with at normal size, but in her reduced state, Hilda was having no trouble lifting herself towards her goal at the top.
After several minutes of climbing, Hilda finally pulled herself up over the top of the stump. She stood up triumphantly, smiling brightly and feeling confident, amazed at how much energy she still had after that. She wondered if her reduced weight had anything to do with it. After celebrating her small victory, Hilda looked ahead and saw that...
