Wait. “Humans existed in your world?” That shouldn’t be too surprising. Eventually the world would end and people would be replaced with something else. For the fifth time. It’s still strange to talk to someone from the sixth(+) sun.

“I’m not sure. It was another country that did it, and they stopped before I was born. Maybe it cost too much? Or maybe it just wasn’t very interesting.”

“Code Gray in Wing 2C!” Mrs. Abigail Northton stowed her radio and drew her weapon. The flashlight ignited in one fluid motion, earning a shriek before her nemesis ducked around the corner. With a swear muttered under her uneven breaths she rounded after the creature just to watch its filthy...

Cuicatl considered how much Astrid would even know about the moon on a world full of Pokémon. Some had probably been. Metagross were spacefarers, at least. Not that metagross are terribly social with other Pokémon. “Well, the moon is a ball of rock. The explorers took some and brought it back...

Cuicatl shrugged. Tried to shrug. It’s rather awkward as a quadruped. Comes off as more of a bow. “We sent some people there years ago. They walked around, got some rocks, came back. We stopped at some point. Not sure why.” Unless it was faked. Her father and school insisted it was. But her...

“There are unexplored places on my world. The deep sea, the thickest jungles, most of the moon. Maybe a mountain or two. I’ve never thought about exploring them. Too far from home. And I couldn’t see them anyway. It’s hard enough to walk on trails. Unmarked, untamed wilderness? Pass.”

“Explorer? I’m sorry, I don’t know what that is. And I want to trust Diyem. He’s strong enough to change our minds and bodies. He could do whatever he wanted with us. There is no reason to lie and then let us doubt.” Plus he had turned Cuicatl into a dragon. That automatically made him one of...

Awwww, Astrid was nervous. And cute. Cutely nervous. Nervously cute. She also sounded smarter than Pix. Closer to human. Maybe this wouldn’t work. It was still her best lead, and she seemed friendly enough. “I get it. A lot happened. I barely understood a third of it.” Mostly the third where...

“Hey wait!” It is difficult to run while blind. This applies even to dragons. It took Cuicatl some time to catch up to the vulpix, this time by the sound of waves. She could feel sand beneath her scales as she got closer. “My name is Cuicatl Ichtaca. What’s yours?”

Everyone had dissipated. Almost everyone, anyway. Cuicatl could vaguely recall a bird and a small dragon talking to each other. And a lot of Pokémon talking over each other. It was a little hard to pay attention and bathe in the majesty of being a motherfucking dragon. What finally roused her...

“That’s one way to talk about Pixie. She’s not here now, which sucks. But I think I heard another vulpix? Not here yet. But that’s fun! She can screm at the magikarp. Vulpix are very good at screms.”

She turned towards the new voice. It was almost familiar. But where—a flood of memories hit her all at once. “Hi! Are you the lucario I had babysit Pixie a while back! And I’m a dragon now! That’s much better than being human!”

Her allies were throwing other allies at The Voice now? And The Voice seemed more annoyed than anything. Strange. Wait? Acting like a dog? It changes instincts? Not only did she have the body of a dragon, but the mind of one too. “OH HELL YES!”

“I’m Cuicatl! A deino!” She said the latter with waaaaaaaay too much excitement, but didn’t care at all.

“I know what deino are.” She was... a deino? ... This was perfect. She was a deino! A dragon! A real little sister to Alice! After everything that has happened in the last year... well, no, still not worth it. But she felt happier now than she’d ever remembered. Deino...

“I have the same problem. Similar problem. I do not know what species I am. You sound mechanical? Like a steel type? And you smell like death.” She thought that was death. For some reason. Something in her new instincts was sure it was. Although that was an insult. Like Zane. “I’m sorry. I...

“KWEE-COT-ULLLLLLL.” She sighed. It was a strange sound coming from her new mouth and throat. “But Kiwi is fine, if you must.”

What. Kekoa didn’t follow her here, right? “Cuicatl Ichtaca,” she corrected. “And did we know each other before, Zane?”

“Smoke breath?” That wasn’t right. Her soul shaper was a water goddess, not a fire one. Was he referring to the dragon who made this body? “Oh, I was blind before. The, um, ‘fat dragon wannabe’ didn’t do that.”

Oh. It made her very relieved, not being fat this time. Although not knowing what sort of reptile she had become was annoying. “Thank you. I’m Cuicatl, by the way. I was the human with green hair before.”
