Chapter 4 - Thoughts in a new Life (1/2)

[Ok, ok... calm down Karl everything is gonna be fine. Take a deep breath and think. What did the Anime Characters do in a situation like this? Wait. Did a Pokémon ever die inside the Anime? I never saw that. But they can right? There are Pokémon Graveyards. So this has to be normal right? We - I mean I just haven't seen it because the Anime and the Games are for children right? Right?

Holy Sh*t I'am will get a nervous breakdown if this continues...]

I close my eyes for a few seconds and take a deep breath.

[Ok what now. Should I just make the effort and carry him to the next Pokécenter? Wait a second. What am I even thinking about I don't even know where I am how should I know where a Pokécenter is?! Nevermind that with my current strength I could only wish for being strong enough to manage a feat like that...

... now that I think about it, I feel stronger after beating him. Quite the bit actually. Wow. Beating Pokémon a few levels stronger actually boosts the own strength pretty decently.]

I end my train of thought and look around. No Pokémon, no City, not even a person in sight.

In which direction did that small trainer head off again? I tried to scratch my head while asking that question only to realize that I'm basically a dog, and my front paws couldn't quite to the job as they could back when I was a human. Good thing that nobody is around that should have looked really weird.

[I'am really tired now. That fight was really exhausting.]

I head for the small bush that has my berry under it. I stop working when another thought hits me...

[HOLY F*CK! I actually killed that Spearow over a stupid Berry, am I f*cking retarded?! I have to be some kind of monster! Is this normal for Pokémon? Like defending your own territory? Please, somebody, tell me that's normal! That Spearow tried to kill me too, right? So it's normal? God? Hey God! Are you there?.... I know you exist! This isn't funny!]

I continue walking to my bush...

[I can't believe he... wait he? Was God a guy? Gods voice sounded neither male nor female. So what is he? Urgh.... this is all too much for me right now. Whatever....]

[Wait. I should probably burrow that Spearow right? Or... eat it? Urgh... I'm already sick of it. Well, I will just drag it to my bush first. I can still decide what to do after I get some sleep to clear my mind.]

I carefully bite into the bird's legs and pull it towards the bush. Heading towards my berry.

[The Oran-Berry. The Prize of Victory. Murder Berry 1.0. Oof.]

I drop the dead Bird next to the Berry. I feel a bit hungry and considering that the Spearow got some hits on me I guess eating the Berry now isn't a bad idea.

I lay down in front of the berry, dead bird to my right and the pond behind me. I eat the berry. I few minutes pass and I manage to fall asleep after my first successful fight.

***********************************************

I wake up.

[It seems like I slept the whole evening and night. It's a bit colder than yesterday and the morning dew droplets still sitting on the leaves and grass. I look around and notice nothing seems to be different from how things were yesterday. The leaves are green, the birds are... well the bird Pokémon are chirping, and the Spearow is... well it's still dead it seems. What did I expect? But it shrank it seems.... wait a minute! Did it shrink or did I grow?!]

I look down and inspect myself again it seems that's what I do most of the time aside from searching for water. My paws became bigger my claws did so as well. My hide became even brighter, I have to be some kind of snow Poochyena if this continues... not exactly what I would call inconspicuous. My Tail seems to be less bushy, I wonder if that's just because of the fight yesterday...

[It's not much but I'm sure I grew at least a few centimeters, I'm not as tiny as I was yesterday. And with my claws, as they look now I should be able to use "Scratch-Attack" even though, neither Poochyena nor Meightyena should be able to use that attack.

My nearly Ice-White Hide lets me wonder will I be able to use Ice-Type Attacks later? Ice-Fang should be possible? That would be cool. A Darkness-Ice Type Pokémon would be something I could live with.]

My stomach growls and ends my fantasies about cool Pokémon Types.

[Urgh. I wished this would have happened later.]

I look down at the Spearow.

[I guess our time has come. I never was a vegetarian and I guess Poochyena's aren't either. Burying it would be a waste now, I can't live off only Berries. That should have been clear to me even yesterday. Sleeping really helped.]

I take a step towards the Spearow now directly looking down upon it. I gulp. This is a first for me, eating raw meat I mean.

I lower my head further and just take a bite of its left leg. I chew and my eyes widen.

[Oh my... THIS TASTES JUST LIKE FRIED CHICKEN! I would have expected a chicken taste. But fried chicken?! I can't believe it. If I could laugh I probably would do so right now, but seems I can't do more than a smirk. It's cold fried chicken but still. I had expected worse. This is going to be a walk in the park.

A few Minutes passed and I finished my meal. It wasn't as bloody as I thought, but the feathers were still annoying. I walk over to the pond to drink. I do this a lot more confidently and less careful then yesterday, now having some trust in my fighting capabilities.

I drink my fill and turn away from the pond.

Now that breakfast is done the day can start. What am I supposed to do now though...

To be continued...
