Chapter 1
I woke up floating.
"What the hell—?"
The first clue something had gone wrong was weightlessness.
The second was my hands. Small. Green. Not mine. Wings quivered where my shoulder blades used to be.
"Congratulations," a voice said, far too cheerful. "You're the legendary Pokémon Celebi."
My thorax locked. Static surged through me—the urge to punch something, anything.
I knew the name. Roger had been obsessed with Pokémon when we were kids, explaining every evolution like it was gospel. I'd forgotten most of childhood, but not him. Not the way he laughed until he cried.
I opened my mouth. A thin alien chirp spilled out. Not my voice. Yesterday I was Mason—a guy who could count his good days on one hand. Now I didn't even know what a hand was.
Roger would have squealed to see me as a fairy. The thought made my stomach flip into grief.
"Legendary." The word pinned me like a bug under glass.
