He staggers back with alarm and releases his Pokémon, a male poochyena.

The large pokemon backs off of him and starts to change, almost like the reverse of a werewolf, tur nin g into a human boy, looking to be around 18 years old.

He clears his throat and says, "Sorry bout that, thought you were someone else."

The other boy stares. “You-you were a Pokémon. What!?” Cautiously, he takes away his own Pokémon.

"Don't think about it too much. It's not like I can explain it."

“What?” He is clearly thinking about it.

"Trust me, I wish I could explain it. I just woke up here 5 days ago, no memories, and halfway between Pokemon and human. Also, an unnatural fear of a specific word."

“What word? Oh. You cant say it?”

"Nope, can't say it."

“Why did you attack me?”

Nolkiss?

*sorry, I'm back*

"I thought you were someone else I guess"

“Hmmmm.” You really cant remember anything?

"Not at all, not even my name."

“That’s…. Weird.”

"Honestly, and this might sound weird, but I like it. Just being out here, able to be free and wild like this."

“I wouldn’t know. I’m only here on vacation, but the rock slide got me stuck in here.”

"Rock slide? That's not good. Anyone get hurt?"

“No idea. Heard it from the locals.”

"Ah ok. Well, if your trapped here, would you mind lending me a hand?"

“Sure. What with?”
