This choice: You hear a lot of commotion, like many differant Pokémon outside • Go Back...Chapter #4Little puppies playing around by: Unknown You were glad you were at least able to get some sleep and get out of this “shrinking dream” or whatever it was you were in last night. But it was now day and you wake up to find out you are still in your pack. You sigh thinking, “guess this wasn’t a dream.” Your train of thought was interrupted as you heard multiple loud booms and noises coming from the outside. It sounded like more than one Pokemon was out there but you still were quite curious to find out what’s going on outside.
While on your way to the opening of your bag, it seemed like it the walk was a bit longer than you remembered last night but you didn’t decide to focus on that, you wanted to focus finding who is making the ruckus outside. When you finally peek out your bag, you almost went “Awww” as you saw 3 puppy Pokémon playing around in the grass. You remember that these Pokémon were called Poochyena. It was read that they like to play a lot and can get rough sometimes. And what you were seeing was pretty accurate to that. Maybe it started to get a little too accurate as the puppy playground seemed to get a little closer to your pack. You quickly remembered that you were shrunk and all the playing around they were doing can be quite dangerous for you. You quickly went back into your bag just in time as one of the pups eventually bumped right into your pack flipping you all over inside. The same pup noticed the new thing in front of it and started to smell it quite a bit but was later distracted by the rest of the pups and wanted to join them. You were shaken up but you quickly got your composure back and the bag was bumped to the side so it was much easier to see what was happening while still inside. You looked through the opening but notice you see only 2 of them.You were unsure where the third one went. That was later answered when the 3rd Poochyenna jumped over your pack and landed just in front of the opening. You were able to see the huge puppy hind paw that landed quite close to the opening and the massive crater of a paw print it left. The 3rd puppy went back to playing with its sibling but then they suddenly stopped and all went toward a certain direction in the woods. Soon the booming and loud noises they were making left too and it was all quiet for a while. Relieved that all the puppy playing around was over for the moment, you decide it would be safe to step out and explore a bit.
You make your way toward the opening of the bag thinking again about why does it seem to take longer to walk out of this bag than you remember last night. You step out of the bag and everything seemed to be a little more... bigger? The grass seemed to be even taller and the trees around were reaching more to the clouds from your perspective. You probably thought it could be just a coincidence but you later notice the strap you used to climb up to your bag last night was now about the same width as your body. “Did I shrink again?” The about 2 inch height you were was now about 1/4 of an inch. You weren’t sure if it was because sleeping made you shrink more or you were still in the process of shrinking last night but either way, this made you feel all but less vulnerable. You seemed so tiny that any Pokémon thought of that could step on you probably wouldn’t even know you ever existed.
You try your best to forget what just happened to you and explore a bit more. You remembered the paw print that the Poochyena left near the opening of your pack and maybe it would be fun to check it out... you guess? Hoping to perhaps forget how you shrunk even smaller, the crater of a paw print you came up to didn’t exactly help much but you made some fun out of it. You decide to sit at the edge of print and slide down like a slide all the way to the center. The ride lasted about 10 seconds and you ended up catching some air a bit when you hit a bump as you reached the paw pad part of the print but you eventually made it to the middle. You stand up to see how small you are compared to just the paw pad alone and it comes to your attention that it is about almost 4 times bigger than you. Sliding down a Poochyena paw print seemed quite fun and who else could say they experienced something like that before. At the same time though, it is still a PAW PRINT and getting stepped on by the creature that made it, even if it’s a puppy, wouldn’t exactly be something to look forward to.
Anyways, you had your fun and decided to probably explore something else. Luckily it wasn’t that steep of a climb and you were able to get out of the paw crater with minimal effort. You still looked around to see if any other Pokémon are near by but to your benefit there was nothing but quiet and no loud booming noises so it was still safe to explore. You decide to travel a random direction relative to your bag so you don’t lose where it was and walked quite a ways away. Your normal sized self probably wouldn’t say you walked very far but your shrunken self was quite excited to see the world in this new perspective. It felt more dangerous but then again, who wouldn’t say the world is a dangerous place no matter what size you are? You eventually made it to an area you notice to be where the rest of the puppy Poochyenas played. It’s easy to tell by the humungous paw prints and scratches in the dirt everywhere. You look around to see anything that’s useful to you and you spot an oran berry to your left. You had food in your pack but it probably isn’t smart to use it all up so you could make use of the berry. You make the long trek to the berry it did seem farther than you first thought but you were getting hungry and all you cared about was getting to that berry. You finally make it and you forget that you are quite tiny so the berry is very big from perspective. Anyways, you take a tiny piece of it and start eating. It tastes pretty good and you enjoyed relaxing for once.
Your relaxing breakfast didn’t last long though as you began to hear and feel very faint booming coming from the opposite side of the berry. It soon got louder and louder and you suddenly were worried that there was a Pokémon coming your way. You took a lap around the berry and found out the Pokémon coming was another Poochyena. Could it be one of the same ones you encountered or was it a new one? Regardless of which one it was, you and the berry were in it’s running path. You didn’t want to take any chances so you ran away from the berry as fast as you could. You were running but since you’re so small it, didn't seem like you were quite moving anywhere, but that Poochyena was definitely moving and luckily you decided to run away just in time as you see the Poochyena’s paw stepping on the berry and where you were eating it causing the berry to explode everywhere including some on you. It didn’t seem like the puppy even noticed the berry as it was determined to find something. You hear the booming paws of the puppy start to fade a little bit but suddenly stop out of nowhere. You try to see what’s going on but the grass is just a little taller in this area so it was obscuring some of your vision. Soon the booming starts up again but it sounded a bit different. Either way it was still getting louder and fortunately for you, you were not in harms way of the puppy Pokémon as you see it running back to where it came from, only it was dragging something with it. You quickly notice that the thing it’s dragging is your pack. You question why it’s doing this and probably assumed that one of the Poochyenas that were playing near your pack seemed to be more interested in it and wanted to take it somewhere. That pack was basically the only shelter you felt safe in and that Poochyena just started taking it. The only option you have now is to follow it and maybe figure out something then. You spotted the trail of paw prints and starting running as quick as you could to not lose sight of it occasionally zigzagging to avoid falling into the constant craters of prints. You notice that you have been running for quite a while and you seem to be going a little faster and still have so much energy. You say to yourself, “I guess since I’m shrunk, I have alot more speed endurance to run, cool!” It’s definitely helpful as you couldn’t imagine tracking that Poochyena with normally as it would probably take days.
You finally reach where the Poochyena and what you assume siblings live which seems to resemble some sort of cave. Surprisingly the trip to didn’t seem that long but that wasn’t the point, the point was to get your pack back. You are still quite a distance away but you can still see the Poochyena dragging your pack inside the cave and the rest of the puppies see what the puppy was dragging. They were sniffing it and seemed quite curious about it. You hope they don’t start ripping it or finding what is inside so you start walking toward the cave. Just as you are about half way, your conscience starts to set in. You suddenly think about what you are actually doing now. You think, “What am I doing just marching in to this cave with puppies many times bigger than me? Just because I can run quite a ways away doesn’t mean I’m immune to getting stepped on and squished. They are after all “puppies” with probably no awareness at all of where they are stepping.”
You have a some options about how to deal with this but you’ll never know how either will turn out. Maybe you could screw your conscience and hope you can get to your bag without a Poochyena paw landing on you or you could wait till it’s safe when they are sleeping or leaving the cave.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
