Sir, this is a McDonalds editionPrevious >>59088690>FAQ>What is this?People are turning into Pokemon. Some are having the time of their lives, and some are struggling to survive. These are their stories.>How do I join?Just start posting.>What's the lore?People and animals (and at least one tree) are changing at random in their sleep, waking up still in the real world, but now as Pokemon, and nobody knows why (that includes you. Please don't try to explain it). Just enough transformations are occurring to notably change day-to-day life without collapsing civilization. This is not the apocalypse, even if it might feel like it to some characters in the moment. Some people are more in touch with their instincts than others, and some have lost more of their humanity than others. That's about it. Avoid legendaries if possible.>What the Hell is PIPS?In many of the stories, the scientific community in-universe has begun referring to Pokemon instincts and the loss of humanity some people who transform experience as Pokémon Induced Psychosis Syndrome, or PIPS. The term is explained in more detail here: https://rentry.org/sip-concepts

Thank you for making the thread, and thank you as always Macho for updating the archive.
I really appreciate how everyone in these threads keeps it in their pants and isn’t making it a fetish thing.
>Wake up as wurmpleI am so fucked. Need to survive the birds, and string shot alone ain't gonna cut it...
>>59195812Maybe start sleeping in more? If the early bird gets the worm, it’s the second worm that stays alive.
>>59195674How do I get transformed or can I choose or is it a random thing?
>>59197041It happens in your sleep. Nobody knows how. Don't try to explain it.
>>59197049So I can't choose it and it probably won't happen to me?
>>59197052You, as an entity in the fictional Earth where this is taking place, do not get to choose. As a matter of raw probability, you probably will not turn. For narrative conceit, we can probably assume that people aren't turning into mons in circumstances that will immediately kill them and/or others around them.
>>59197054So I am not allowed to use this thread. (unless I get increadably good RNG next night)
>>59197060As a writer, you can write whatever you want; the general advice is to avoid legendaries and don't explain how it happened or focus on the transformation itself. This is about your new life as a Pokemon, or the lives of people you know who have turned into Pokemon.
>>59197062>the general advice is to avoid legendariesDarn it! Anti-legendary discrimination hits again. Legendaries are truly the most oppressed class in the Pokémon world.So since Ninetales is already taken, I am assuming this is off the table too, unless I maybe take shiny Ninetales.
>>59197066There's no rules against duplicates.
>>59197071Then I just need to decide which one I take before I can start brainstorming.I am assuming this is about the real world, not the mainline games or Mystery Dungeon.Can I get a tripcode so nobody can derail my saga or will that get me bullied off this thread?
>>59197078Some of us namefag while others like Lucarioanon use images to identify themselves. Tripcodes are overkill in my opinion.And about the dupicates. I have nothing against duplicate protags, but I think it would be nicer to have more variety than the 10th Ninetails or Eeveelution. Just my two cents.
>>59197078Most people have either been Anon Posting or namefagging, but I don't think anyone will try to stop you if you really want a tripcode.
>>59197078>I am assuming this is about the real world, not the mainline games or Mystery Dungeon.And yes, this is correct.
>>59197112I think I can start the brainstorming phase then.Picking a chosen one is hard. Ninetales holds personal value to me because I played Ninetales in EoS but I get that it's also a popular basic bitch shillmon.
>>59197078Nobody can derail your saga anyway since this isn't a roleplaying thread (which I'm told is against the rules anyway). If you wanna write a story just start writing it and posting it.>>59197116Nineanon's story is pretty short-form and shitposty anyway. If you were to write something more long-form and serious with a Ninetales protagonist (which I'm guessing is your intention seeing as you're taking so much care to ask so many questions), they shouldn't step on each other's paws all that much. Unless you have your own penname in mind, I'll probably refer to you as Talesanon to distinguish you from him.
>Welcome to your new life of perpetual headaches>No, you don't get psychic typing out of it
>>59197616Or do you only think you don’t get Psychic powers, because you can never remember using them?>If it uses its mysterious power, Psyduck can't remember having done so. It apparently can't form a memory of such an event because it goes into an altered state that is much like deep sleep
>>59197616Just evolve, dummy
>>59198710>>59197664>>59197616>I wake up>I have a headache>Suffering builds character>I black out>I wake up>I have a headache>Suffering builds character>I black out

Fine. Fully Remote? No thanks.>No, you made a promise to yourself that as soon as you had figured out the basics like walking, talking, eating, and driving, you would still go out and about in town like normal, public perception be damned>And you kept that promise to yourself ever since >Thus, here you were months later, grabbing a shopping cart before heading in to the local Costco>It was busy in the typical way like you remembered, was it even possible to not have a line waiting to go in?>Your membership card in hand, you join the crowd and slowly make your way in.>Oh, that’s new… they scan your card instead of just flashing it>Is that going to be an issue?>You don’t exactly look like your photo these days
>>59200940>You hold your membership card up to the scanner and start to explain to the checker“It’s my first time coming in a while, what d-“>>”Welcome In. Next.”>Ah. Best keep the line moving.>Well that wasn’t bad at all.>You’d say that was the first hurdle cleared, but that was nothing.>Electronics and Appliances are the first thing they bombard you with>Your phone was holding up just fine and you could purchase discounted personal computers through the IT department if your assigned work laptop wasn’t enough>You probably weren’t thankful enough that your fingers could more or less work regular keyboards and touch screens without issue>Keeping your phone on a lanyard was a bit different, but adaptation had been the name of the game>Only having a total of 6 fingers didn’t make you very confident in your grip>Reaching into pockets wasn’t easy either, so you did your best with the old man special.>Speaking of, the next section was clothing>You had built up a skill for carefully threading your talons through pant legs without tearing them to ribbons>Shirts were practically impossible but the hood and wings satisfied your psyche enough to never feel naked>Over time you’ve grown to appreciate the faux bow tie and the sophistication it gave>The plume was still a bit silly to deal with>You were pretty sure it was actually taller than the ones the marching band uses>Shoes were out of the question entirely>All of this did help to cut down on the laundry you had to do>Oh, that reminded you to get detergent and dishwasher pacs>Next was Snacks>Then Patio Furniture?>The thought of perching on top of the children’s swing set crosses your mind for the briefest second before you laugh it off>Even if you wanted to do your “king of the world” scene, there were plenty of better places and ways to do it.>Then Wine and Spirits>None for you, thanks>Now the Bakery
>>59200975>Besides picking up twice the amount of bread for less than the usual price, something else caught your eye>Two Bite Brownies>As a child, you took that as a challenge to purposely eat them in any other number of bites>These days, the beak made things a bit different>You hadn’t tested the limits, but you could effectively swallow whole a disturbing range of sizes>After all, no teeth meant no chewing>This meant wiping down your beak frequently with napkins or a handkerchief as food kept getting stuck or leaving residue on the outside>Imagine how dirty the outside of your teeth would get if they weren’t in your mouth>Yuck.>To stay polite, you made it a point to always only take small bites, even when no one was looking>Learning about owl pellets for the first time was harrowing and dare you say traumatizing>God protect you from ever having to experience that>Alright, enough of that. Keep moving.>The walk in refrigerator was on one side next to the bakery>Might as well do an experiment while you’re here>This was probably the coldest environment you had access to without traveling North to the mountains>How would you handle it?>You decide to leave the cart and slowly walk a lap inside>The initial burst of wind from the air curtain primed you for the shock as it jostled the leaves and feathers that made up your hood
>>59200981>2% Milk - So what’s the other 98%?>The initial bite of the cold is immediately felt on the outside of your arms>Eggs - Wow, they still make those?>Consciously or unconsciously, you pull your wings in tighter against you and start walking faster>Orange and Apple Juice - They DO grow on trees, so why is it still so expensive?>Feeling your talons on the concrete, there’s only a slight separation that keeps your body heat from seeping directly into the ground>Cotton Candy Grapes - So we were playing God even before people started turning into Pokémon?>The air trapped between your feathers was holding the warmth in, but you can feel it starting to equalize with the air around it>Yogurt - Why do we need probiotics if we also need antibiotics?>With one lap complete, you have your information and duck back out>You could feel the cold starting to intrude.>If you had gone another lap around, it probably would have started to hurt>It felt like if you had more layers to your feathers you’d do a lot better>You’d end up dangerously cold if you were trapped in there>Good to know that you can’t handle the cold nearly as well as you would have expected>Despite looking like a hoodie, it was still your body exposed to the elements>From one extreme to the other>You push your cart directly over to the Rotisserie Chickens in order to casually warm yourself up>After taking an unreasonable amount of time “considering” which chicken to take, you grab one, drop it in your basket, and move on>Toilet Paper>Paper Towels>Water Bottles >Pet Food>How long until some industry tried to make Pokémon Chow?>Would they dare risk the backlash for dehumanizing turnees?>It had to have been well over a year now since the first cases>As you weaved through the frozen aisles, picking up ready meals for days you couldn’t bring yourself to cook, you came across everyone’s guilty pleasure>The sample carts were out
>>59200992>Where did they find such a steady supply of little old ladies to manage these things?>>”Popcorn Shrimp, just 8 minutes in the air fryer”“One please”>>”No shellfish allergies right? Okay, here you go young man.”>Now why did it never taste this good when you made it at home?>Even if you could have swallowed the nickel sized piece whole, you still bit it in half to get the crunch sensation >The next aisles had miniature pizza bagels, and defrosted frozen strawberries>Except for an “oh my” and a “aren’t you a handsome one?” they didn’t even make a direct comment on your appearance>Probably trained that way to try not to offend any other turnees>That did make you wonder how many others there were in the surrounding area>The conventional wisdom from the media was that ‘Everyone knows someone who has turned’>You should probably investigate the statistical validity of that>You had still never seen another Pokémon in person>In crowds as large as the university and a crowded grocery store, was that unusual?>Sounds like a variation of the birthday paradox… or maybe a Poisson distribution… there could be a paper in this>Oh!>You were so lost in thought you nearly walked past the aisle, even though you had been looking at it the entire time>This whole “turn your head farther than a human can” thing could pop up in odd places>You know you’d master it eventually, you just hoped you didn’t scare too many people in the process>Having an owl stare at you can be a bit unnerving>The final aisle had cheesecake bites and buffalo chicken dip>That was something you missed more than you expected.>Most birds are incapable of perceiving the pain of spicy foods>Apparently, you simply don’t have many of whatever sensor is needed for capsaicin to bind to so it just passes by>Most hot sauces just have the pepper and vinegar taste, but no heat at all
>>59201001>Once things got really hot, usually beyond natural peppers and when they started having stupid or vulgar names, then you could start to feel it>Good thing you weren’t a spice head.>Come to think of it, should you be avoiding chocolate?>Maybe just avoid the dark stuff and keep it infrequent?>Just before heading to checkout, you grab an unreasonably large container of multi-vitamins>You had picked up this pill popping habit after realizing that this body probably needed additional nutrients that you weren’t used to>Generating those quills constantly probably consumed some kind of resource>You didn’t want to develop whatever the Decidueye equivalent of scurvy was, so it was probably better to be safe than sorry>Checkout was decidedly boring>You weren’t trying to be anti-social or avoid talking to a store clerk, the self-checkout lines were just legitimately shorter>You wondered if the automated security system analyzing the cameras were freaking out about a giant owl instead of a human>So far, the humans around you hadn’t caused a stir>It didn’t feel like people were avoiding you, but with how crowded it was, you doubt they could have if they wanted to>At very least it was nice no one was staring at or filming you>Was it politeness, apathy, or even a sense of intimidation?>From a distance or viewed from the back, maybe some people unfamiliar with Pokémon just think you’re a person wearing a silly cloak?>The end result wasn’t objectionable, so that would stay a question for another time.>Had you actually saved money on this trip by buying in bulk?>Ehhhh… maybe?>You could and probably should crunch the numbers when you get home>Finally the food court
>>59201009>You might as well get the whole experience>A few taps on the terminal, a short wait, and a hunt for a table later and you’re seated with an inordinately large slice of pizza>Despite the smell of everything else in the food court, the rotisserie chicken in your cart next to you at eye level stands out the most>Your thoughts go to how you would butcher it to use in other dishes during the week>It’s weird enough thinking about how that used to be a real life chicken>Even weirder, was to imagine its skeleton and how it might look fairly similar to your own>If you laid on your back, arms and legs bent at odd angles… ugh>Granted, you were more of a bird of prey than a mere chicken>You had seen a video of an eagle tearing apart and eating a live chicken before>Not exactly a pleasant experience>The imagery and process played in your mind>It stood on top of the prey with the talons making initial cuts where they grabbed>It lowered down its beak and tore the muscle along the grain with a head movement before rising again>After a moment’s delay, it tossed the meat into its mouth with a practiced motion before starting again>That was NOT you>That could NEVER be you>You have usable hands, you have manners, you have utensils, you->Huh.>Now there’s a thought.>Whether you like it or not, you basically always had a knife on you with your quills>What if?>You discretely take two short quills from the leading edge of your wings>You don’t have the dexterity to use them like chopsticks, but you have a different idea in mind>In one hand, you hold it like a pencil focusing on the pointed tip>In the other hand, you hold it like a scalpel, focusing on the bladed edge
>>59201019>Poke with one hand to pierce the pizza>Slice with the other to cut a bite size piece>Carefully bring it up to your beak and eat it>Brilliant.>This certainly wasn’t an intrusive thought from whatever instincts the owl body carried>This was human ingenuity and creative tool use>For such a minor task, you felt immense accomplishment>It felt like learning to snap your fingers for the first time as a child>Unlocking an innate capability you didn’t know you had>This calls for a celebration>Maybe a churro?
>>59201027Hell yeah, Costco run!>LineHmm. Somehow it's rare that I've ever actually been stuck in one to get in. Maybe I'm just lucky. Or the local Costco itself is just small/old relative to the newer, more refined stores that opened later.
>>59201199Mine isn’t usually long, but it’s always 2-3 people back. Just long enough to grab your card if you forgot.
>>59201027A mega-post from ProfD? New thread just started and we already eating guuud.Heheh, swivel. Owl necks. Ayegeddit. It's funny - ProfD was able to figure out that trying to keep out of the public eye is folly, and Lucario was able to figure out that trying to lock away the Pokemon instincts is folly. If only each could see what the other sees.ID being rendered an absolute nightmare for governments and other authorities is something I am 100% here for.To be fair, Miloticanon could work a computer by slapping it with his tail, so you probably wouldn't've been TOTALLY screwed if you'd become something else. Probably.I'm still amazed he can manage to wear pants without looking totally absurd. Maybe he DOESN'T manage it...Boo for depriving us of drunk birb swinging around and around the bar by his talons.Yes, puking tends to be unappealing regardless of who's doing it or why. Experiment or not, I notice Prof doesn't seem to be over-analyzing quite as much as he usually does. Just make some bad jokes, decide that, yes, in fact, cold IS bad for grass types (who woulda thought?) and then move right along - more of a stream of consciousness than the hyper-fixation we're used to from him. The light meditative state of an effortless cognitive task must be helping clear his head a little. Just as well - even the greatest brains need rest. I mean if you want the TRUE Pokemon chow experience, literally just make mixed berry fruit salad. :^)In all seriousness, though, I'm sure some body plans WOULD appreciate some more easily comestible food formats. Nobody's ever tried to make kibble gourmet because there's never been a need for it, but if there's demand you know somebody's going to try.I must admit I've never had popcorn shrimp. I honestly think I'd actually enjoy being a 'mon that people can coo over the form's cuteness.
>>59201467Huh. So whereas Lucarioanon and many of our other protagonists are living in transformee hotspots, Prof is living.in a transformee desert. Having him finally meet another transformee would definitely be an interesting plotline in that case.As a professional spice hater, not being able to perceive spice heat sounds heavenly. And yeah, apparently chocolate is somehow even worse for birds, but Prof's no ordinary bird...The resource used to generate the quills (and other Pokemon moves) is dead-ass, straight-up mana. Should we do a storyline about scientists discovering and quantifying how PP works? Does that count as explaining the phenomenon?>the Decidueye equivalent of scurvyKekI feel like I've mentioned the inevitable hilarity of LLMs and other AI systems firehose pissing themselves trying to deal with this new reality before.>apathyNot quite apathy, but you'd be surprised how quickly humans can mentally adjust the weird into the new normal."Food court" always trips me up. Here such places don't usually have their own kitschy name for the entire cluster of shops and the seating as a whole.I dunno about the dinner chook comparison, but Prof would definitely look adorable posed like that.You don't have to tear live prey apart with your beak and humans don't have to pick nits out of each other's hair and then eat them. Shouldn't really need to worry about it.>This certainly wasn’t an intrusive thought from whatever instincts the owl body carried>For such a minor task, you felt immense accomplishment>Unlocking an innate capability you didn’t know you hadAhuhuhuhuhuhuhu... ohhh, nature finds a way, Prof... Nature finds a way. I love this - the idea of the instincts worming their way back in via these extremely subtle, easy to explain away mechanics has SUCH fun implications for out favourite birdbrain. Now I am fucking DYING to see this silly bird person finally try to fly...

>>59201467Thanks for the reply!I’m imagining the pants don’t look good, but it’s not terrible either. Functional yet weird enough to distract you from actually thinking about why people wear pants.Perhaps he might enjoy a drink later. Imagine how he might react if his first flight experience is waking up the next morning in a tree after seeing pink elephants. There’s a joke about pilots getting drunk before takeoff in there somewhere too. Unfortunately the topic of drinking is a bit of an author skill issue, but I’ll keep it in mind.As for his lighter tone, I’ve been trying to make him a bit more upbeat to give anons here a happier story considering events, and to subtly arc the story after his self actualization at the end of the “chapter” 7. Maybe this is Saturday Professor when he would have worn Hawaiian button up shirts instead of plaid or checkered button up shirts.The idea behind the stream of consciousness was that he was walking slowly enough to comment on every item in the refrigerator, only to feel himself slowly freezing. I was also inspired by the writing in the James Bond short story “For Your Eyes Only”.
>>59201550In general I’m trying to imagine transformations a bit rarer to reinforce that humanity is just chugging along. Same with the apathy point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHGN7Q7fKlA&t=39sThey call it a “food court” officially, in my mind it’s more of just a counter service restaurant. A true food court to me implies several counter service restaurants in a single place with a shared seating area, like in a shopping mall.I don’t know what a dinner chook is.
>>59201027I appreciate the banality of of this update. We seriously missed this kind of story for quite a while. Reading about a Costco as a foreigner makes it sound greater than it probably is. I certainly know no store here that has furniture, electronics, and food in a single store...>Someone poetic and slightly bitter might call this place a shrine to capitalism or consumerism or somethingIsn't this, like, every store in the USA? t. a European talking down from his high horse>The thought of perching on top of the children’s swing set crosses your mindA moment of instinct weakness or just your usual brain nonsense that happen sometimes? Hoo's to say.>Now the BakeryPlease tell me that you guys have a decent selection of (fresh) bread. I was very sad about this while I travelled around Canada a few years ago. Also, isn't bread bad for birds because they can't handle yeast or something?>Popcorn shrimpOne googling session later and I desperately need to try one of those now.>Finally the food courtThe best part about any grocery shopping spree, honestly. Very pleased to hear that this seems to be a global sentiment.>Quill chop sticksNow that is the ingenuity we all love about ProfD! Nice attention to detail on Decidueye physiology. I love details like that!
>>59202036>Reading about a Costco as a foreigner makes it sound greater than it probably is.That's one of the great things about the USA: we don't need to hype up things like grocery stores. None of what was written there is an exaggeration. They really do have a little bit of everything, there's always some sort of surprise in one or more of the aisles at wholesale prices, and it's almost always in obscenely large quantities.
>>59202036Most grocery stores around me usually have fresh baked Italian and French bread, Muffins, Sourdough, and Brown/Molasses Bread. The trick is that they get the dough frozen from distribution and bake it in-store as demand needs.There’s also pre-packaged bread available, like the gross Wonder white bread you’re probably thinking of as stereotypically American, but also regional specialties made by local bakeries or chains and shipped to the store. Thats how you can get things like local Bagels and Tortillas.I thought I read the issue was that bread was nutritionally empty for birds, so let say he’s mostly eating it out of inertia.Are food court style dining options attached to grocery stores common over there? I was going to say Costco is a bit of an oddity for offering it, but now that I think about it, even regular grocery stores usually have a Starbucks and a deli, and Walmarts usually have a fast food location inside them (McD or Subway typically). Either way, people everywhere are taking advantage of the fact that you buy more when you’re hungry.>>59202092I didn’t even talk about the jewelry section, florist, cigarettes, tire shop, travel agency, pharmacy, or the discounted gift cards.>Only one of the items I mentioned above is a lie, the rest are all true.
>>59202243The lie is the cigarettes
>>59202319You’re Winner!
>>59200992Love how you portray his racing mind.>Why do we need probiotics if we also need antibiotics?He knows too much, shut it down
>>59202243Spiritual sequel with a Pokémon visiting a Buc-ee’s when? We need more intercultural exchange.
The one downside to Costco is how easy it is to spend $300 to $800 in one trip without buying a single big-ticket item like a new television, a cell phone, game console, a sofa, a bed, patio furniture, a shed, etc.

>>59202243I can tell you it isn't common in Australia. Supermarkets here tend to be entirely separate from the surrounding businesses and fast food venues (if any), even if the supermarket is itself situated inside a larger shopping centre (what Americans would call a mall).
>>59202243I assumed bread couldn't be bad until I had Wonder. It's bread, how do you screw it up?
>>59204622Preservatives, large amounts of sugar, and shelf stability while being exceptionally white and fluffy for its time. These were qualities that an "ideal" bread should have and bakers spent a long time trying to invent a bread that met those criteria. That they did it with a mass produced product that could be shipped across the country was even more remarkable for its time.
>>59205700>Geez, who could get so worked up over bread?>Anyone else smell toast?>I’ve smelled something since I woke up but can’t find the source.>I’m not having a stroke am I?
>>59206980There's a lot of Pokemon whose existence is incredibly weird, but Fairies take the cake or, bread.

>>59213521>>59213369Which is worse? A Pokémon transformee dying their fur to match their old hair, or wearing a wig that looks like their old hair?
>>59216184Dying, for sure. A wig to keep a hold of your old sense of self is understandable. Dye feels more like denial.
Everyone having a good weekend?
>>59216490Counterpoint: wouldn’t dying represent “owning” your new form and dealing with it, while a wig literally covers up your new form and hides it? Either way, both are clinging onto a past that can never come back.
>>59217423A wig done in the style of your old hair would add some credence to an ID that's otherwise useless.
>>59217469How does the beauracacy deal with this? You can't just freeze turnees out of the economy, but you can't just let them claim to be whoever they want either. Might make for an interesting (if dry) adventure for sone government bean counter. Maybe at a DMV, for the added wrinkle of trying to figure out who should still be allowed to drive or not?
>>59218111Proving ID would be a huge pain. The best you could probably do is some interrogation to figure out if the Pokemon matches what other people know about the person, and then there's going to be so many that they'll only have time to do it where they actually care if Pokemon A is the same being as Human A, and their mind and skill set is valuable enough to not just fire them and replace them with someone else. A lot of very skilled specialists probably got an undeserved summary dismissal because some asshole in Human Resources didn't want to do a security check when they could pick someone else for the job instead.
>>59218122Addendum to the inevitable lawsuit point: people are legally protected from being fired for a disability. They are not so protected from failing to pass a security audit.
>>59218126>Your Honor, the reason my client failed the security audit was solely due to their disability. As you can tell from this paper trail, the company made no reasonable efforts to accommodate their disability and went out of their way to perform an off-schedule audit to remove them from their position and invent grounds for dismissal.

Got plenty of fun ideas.I wrote 90% of that story when I was between contracts, and had a crazy amount of free and fun time. My profession has me work some ridiculous hours. Still less stressful than previous jobs. Between writing and other hobbies... It's been other hobbies. I'll be writing more though, you can bet on it.
>>59241546Thanks for checking in! Keep enjoying your other hobbies while you're enjoying them, no sweat if you've got other priorities over writing right now.
>>59237503I'd like to see that. It'd be fun to see how movies accommodate the species of their stars. With something tiny like Ribombee, for example, you'd probably have to do a lot of zoomed-in shots or keep him close to the camera so you can accurately see all his gestures and emotions.

The closest thing I've seen is an AO3 tag for "characters turned into Pokemon," a handful of badly done stuff where a portion of humans turn into Pokemon with zero focus on what daily life is like, and one dead story on fanfiction.net that is filled with drama and angst in the wake of humans turning into Pokemon, and the main character is a legendary.

Discovered a new variation in regard to PIPS," explained the scholar calmly.>"Is it akin to the anterograde and retrograde forms?" inquired the reporter further, "or is it something completely new?">"It is something new even though it is connected to those two forms," said the scholar in a focused fashion. "It would be best described as experiencing PIPS symptoms a time before the actual turning occurs.">"So there is a way to predict one's turning?" the reporter continued to inquire.>"Yes and no," replied the scholar. "This form has very few documented cases as of now, and depending on its intensity, it might not be noticed in time.">"Could you explain it in more detail?" asked the reporter.>"Of course," replied the scholar while fixing his tie. "The symptoms are like those of the regular forms of PIPS, but before actually turning. They might start showing up weeks, if not months, in advance, but at the same time they can easily go unnoticed until very shortly before turning. It is mostly due to the gradual nature of the process combined with the ongoing changes in thought patterns making abnormal things seem normal."
>>59249555>"Could you explain a bit further about the difficulty in diagnosing this form?" Inquired the reporter.>"There isn't much to say..." Replied the scholar while taking a breath, trying to formulate his response in his mind. " We know of relatively few cases. Most of them were catalogued shortly before or after they turned, so we don't have much to base our research on as of now.">The interview ended with the usualexchange of pleasantries.>Good to know at least you might have a chance to catch you turning in advance.>Other news channels had not much new by comparison.>Some Iowa senator (respectable bipartisan) allegedly turned into an Inkay.>Your consumption of the 24/7 spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit was cut short by a power outage.>You were curious if it was caused by a mon or not.>But for now you just sat on your ass on the couch thinking about what to do next.>"Can we talk?" you heard a familiar voice behind you.>You turned your head around and saw Layla without a disguise.>She was clearly not in the best headspace.>"Uhh...

"I got impatient. I went to Derek's house so I could know...">"Don't tell me..." you said before being interrupted.>"No. Derek wasn't even there... Just something else... Something broke into his house," she continued.>"What did you do?" you asked.>"I-I went inside.

>>59249583Damn. Layla needs some help coming to terms with, understanding, and managing her feelings as an H. Zork. Maybe she needs an emotional anchor to balance herself on.

>>59249815Well, she's not coping with opportunity cost because she can still pass for human, but she doesn't understand herself because her thoughts and feelings as a Zork are strange and alien to her and her human self doesn't enjoy the sadism her Zoroark half revels in. Honestly not sure how much this actually applies to Layla's situation.

Imagine writing a story where you get turned into a human-sized bipedal pokemon with opposable thumbs, pleasing features, and mammal anatomy. Weak as fuck.

Would it be better or worse if PIPS came and went, with moments of lucidity and awareness between the times where the Pokemon has taken over?
>>59258915More lucidity is always better.
>>59259011Is it easier or harder to see your son come back for a time before he slips away again?
What if I dislike PIPS and I don’t want to acknowledge it in my stories? Is it too ingrained in this setting now? The stuff about losing memories and having false memories feels too unbelievable and too dark to me.
>>59259304It would only matter if you wanted to explicitly write your story to be in continuity with the existing stories and reference the events of those stories. If you don't want to do that, and are happy to just write your own version of this setting where PIPS isn't a factor (or maybe you DO reference the other stories but keep things oblique enough that PIPS doesn't come up), you're more than welcome to do so.
>>59259304Yeah, if you don't like it you can just not give it to any of your characters.
>>59259304I write it as instincts rather then false memories.
>>59259304It’s a neat concept, if you want it and need a way to hand wave away why a former human now knows how to not only walk on all fours but also shoot lightning with their paws. If you don’t want it, don’t even mention it. It’s your story, we want to hear it from you. There are a couple of stories that have characters that are completely mentally unchanged and just raw dogging their new life.
/SIP/ inverted:You wake up one morning and everyone except (YOU) has turned into a Pokemon. No one thinks this is out of the ordinary and you can't convince them life has ever been different.
>>59259304Multiple stories don't have it (Snivyanon's Police Animals, for instance).Just roll with your imagination.
>>59209204I'll just respond to this taking the missing line from >>59209914 into account:Kinda sounds like the fightclub 'mons are a little bit TOO eager to get their fightclub on. Doing it out in the woods makes sense, but random alleyways? Sounds like a great way to get the entire operation busted. Buuut that isn't Phox's problem... yet...I guess nobody should be surprised that Phox isn't the type to let Delphox's crappy attack stat stop her.>Whoa, MommaWaitaminute, he's fighting Johnny Bravo?>Gotchya bitchOkay, maybe not. Funny thought, though.>Greaser looks firmly confused as I brush the leaves off my fur"A fire type resisting grass? THAT'S UNPOSSIBLE!"Huh. Earlier Phox said she couldn't make fire in the rain. I guess the lighter lets her overcome that? I mean fire type moves ARE generally capable of being used in the rain, albeit weakened. Also, furventory. Based.Haha! Get Substituted (or whatever the monkey poofing was) on, idiot! Don't get me wrong, Phox, I'm still very much on your side, but if you're gonna keep swaggering on about how adept you are at bullshit, you should expect to get bullshitted back from time-to-time. That said... fuckin' ouch...>I pull him further into meGiggityYeaaaah, first urban fightclub battle in and you're already on the news. This is why the alleyway was a terrible idea.>He lived.>I almost regret that I did.Hehe. You loved it. Hopefully there'll be officially sanctioned Pokemon battling sooner rather than later. Enjoy your meat, Phox, you earned it. Again, bad idea to fightclub in the city, but that wasn't your decision. Maybe bring it up to that Jigglypuff if you get the chance?
>>59261972The good ending, where Hal is able to freely practice his design work untransformed without fear and Harry overcomes his PIPS.
>>59262312Of all the side characters in these stories, those two are in the running for the most in need of a happy ending.

>>59265792Every district would probably have a handful of teachers that throw their hands up and quit while new bureaucratic positions are inserted into the district employment roster. Someone high up on the political ladder would need to bring out a big swinging cockslap to make them stop screwing around trying to squeeze out even more tax money and to stop wasting time.

I started to wonder where you went.>Pre-turning PIPSEyyy, nice callback! Nothing more to add, it's a good rundown on how it works.>She was clearly not in the best headspace.Honestly, was she ever in a good headspace to begin with? She had it pretty rough ever since she got sussed out by Copanon and his buddy.>"I-Is THIS normal?" she repeated the question, stuttering with anger.The poor lass' ghostly being really gets to her... I think another round of head pats is in order, Copanon.>>59259304A bit late to the party, but give https://rentry.org/sip-concepts a read if you haven't already. I updated the modal to be more clear that no one has to follow it. There are also examples of different implementations of PIPS.The beauty of the concept is that you can omit all the things you don't want and only go with what fits your need. Like other Anons already said, you can be very gradual with it. No need to name drop it either.
>>59268573Lovely update, ProfD! The rubbish proofs to be as deadly for the nose as it is to the wellbeing of wannabe usurpers.I love the creativity you have with giving a Mon like Garbador control of every centimetre of a landfill. He's a real menace and I'm all for it! With it no longer being a true oneshot, should we move the first part and your new one into its own Rentry?
>>59268573Oh shit, more Mafioso Garbodor nice.
Do you think she hopes the other turnees out there find peace?
Don't talk to me or my son ever again

Zoro aggression, maybe you don't need to. Maybe you can just live life. It's big of you to admit you went too far with the Gholdengo, although the crime ring he was part of DOES still need to be investigated.Oof. I'll be honest, I definitely get Copanon's budding diplomancer skills completely failing him here. What DO you say to someone who's trying to figure out how to live as what they seem to see little more than an undead monster? I guess what we'd have to say is that the phenomenon has greatly expanded the possibilities for what "normal" can be, including not having a pulse. I still think a ghost type support group would be good for her, but it kinda feels like hers and Copanon's story is at a bit of an impasse right now. Perhaps a more substantial event than the Gholdengo needs to come along to shake their lives up, or maybe we need to commit to a full-fledged Lucarioanon crossover, who might be able to better figure out how to help her between his aura sense and the work he's done with Kat.

>Alex, it’s time to get up! Don’t be late for school!>Alex?How do you as a parent respond to this?
>>59279425>How do you as a parent respond to this?It'd be hard to overcome that initial "who are you and what happened to my child?" response. People can still talk after they've turned in this AU, so I imagine it'd be like checking for Changelings or shapeshifters from folklore or if you're a huge fucking nerd, Master/Stranger protocols: look for minutia or stimulus-responses that only the real kid should know or show.
>The two of you kept watching TV until it was late.>You almost forgot about your new state of existence.>It was nice to be distracted by something away from that.>But as you kept watching more of the magic box, the more tired you became.>You started to yawn.>"Tired?" she asked.>"Yeah.">"Are you going to sleep too?" She said while standing up from the couch. "Do you want me to carry you?">"I can still walk despite my condition, you know?" You replied to her with a smile.>You jumped off the couch and instinctively stretched your back.>Kind of strange, but you just assumed it came as a part of the turning into a pokemon shtick.>On a side note, were you a water cat or a water dog?>As of now you'd probably say that it's a tie.>But while you were overthinking things again, your girlfriend was watching you closely.>You tried looking at her while trying to hold onto eye contact for dear life.>She took in a deep breath. "Let's go to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow." She said with a slight smile on her face.>You didn't bother arguing and just went to sleep.>You jumped onto the bed, noticing that once you landed, the surface of the bed felt and sounded different.>Plastic-y.>"Oh I got an anti-bed-wetting mat for my grandma a few years back, but you know..." She said awkwardly.>You lie down on the bed trying to find a good position to sleep.>But your girlfriend had a different idea, and she decided to be the big spoon.>She pulled you closer to her body, letting your head rest on her arm and putting your tailfin behind her knees.>"Good night." She said before placing a kiss on your head.>You closed your eyes but couldn't fall asleep.>Her heartbeat.>It was deafening, like waves washing onto the shore during a storm.>You could feel her blood rushing through her veins.>It was fast>Too fast.>"Are you asleep?" You whispered, trying not to wake her up.>"No. Why are you asking? Do you have a problem with falling asleep?" She replied with a tired tone.
>>59279456>"I was about to ask you the same question.">"What makes you think I can't sleep?">"Your heartbeat.">"What?" She asked while raising herself up.>"It might sound strange, but...">"But?">"I can feel it... All of it. I can feel your heartbeat rippling through my body." You spouted out.>She readjusted herself once more.>"It felt too fast for my liking. I-I wanted to check up on you..." You continued before realizing that you were probably sounding like a madman again.>She just put her hand on your head.>"I am stressed. Not every day does someone's boyfriend turn into a creature made of water. But you shouldn't worry about me." She replied while slowly moving her hand towards the back of your head.>"I'm sorry.">"There is nothing to apologize for. It is a tough time for both of us, but I believe things will get better.">"Always the optimist..." You mumbled out silently.>"And you are always the pessimist. Trust me, things will get better; just give it time.">"I-I guess you are right.">"I'm always right." She said with a slight chuckle.>You flopped down to attempt to go back to sleep.>"Do you want to maybe sleep alone?" She asked.>"Why would I want that?" You asked while turning your head.>"I thought that maybe you'd rather sleep alone if my heartbeat is too loud for you..." She replied with a bit of sorrow in her voice, as she didn't want you to say yes.>"No. Not really. I'd rather spend the night with your beating heart than alone with my thoughts.">"How romantic of you..." She replied while pulling you back into her embrace.>Obviously you were dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond.>"Are we trying again?" She asked.>"Sure. But could you let go of my tail?">"Oh sorry." She said while letting your tail go.>You put your head onto her arm once again.>This time her heartbeat was calmer.>"Good night." She said before placing her lips on your head.>"Good night." You said before letting yourself drift into slumber.

>You stepped outside and took a deep breath of fresh, hand-sanitiser-free air.>It was warmer now, but still refreshing.>Vani and Joel were waiting to your left, right around the corner of the building.>You, however, turned to the right and walked towards the tree you saw from the window upstairs.>You reached the tree and looked up to try and spot the distinct plumage of the Fletchinder.>There he was! He was still sitting at the top, barely visible if not for his bright colouring.>You tried whistling to get his attention, but the snout of a Mienshao, turns out, wasn't built for whistling. Your aggressive exhale seamlessly turned into an annoyed sigh.You shouted up the tree instead, "Hey, Nick! I know you're up there!">You thought that you saw his head turn towards you. He didn't respond, though."You just stormed off. What did that Lefty tell you while I was away?" you asked.>Again, no response.>You let your shoulders slump in frustration and let out a quiet sigh. This will take some patience...>You moved away from the tree, sat on an empty flower pot, and made sure that Nick could see you.>In silence, you looked up the weathered wall of the recruitment centre."I bet the view up there is a lot better than down here," you began. "But I think you're not just up there to enjoy the view, are you?">You heard something shift in the tree top. A Reaction?"You know, I might be preoccupied with myself a lot, but I'm not blind. Something happened during your sports test and it's bothering you," you called up the tree while not looking at it.>The silence returned and you let it settle.>Some birds were chirping and the slight breeze made the leafs rustle pleasantly.>You already guessed that Nick was somewhat shy around new people, but you hadn't thought that he'd shut himself off so directly.>Perhaps he would respond to authority if you were too much of a stranger to him? It was worth a try, you thought.
>>59282555"As your potential future sergeant, it's in my best interest to help a comrade in need, you know? We're a team. A machine only works with all its parts working together, don't you agree?">You heard another shift in the tree, but no chirp, nor a word.>You sat on the pot in silence for a moment, just in case Nick decided to finally speak up.>He didn't.>That lieutenant left quite the impression... or was it you he didn't want to talk to?>Either way, there was nothing you could do for now, but you hoped that your words would have an effect down the line."Anyway, Joel and the Meowstic are waiting on the other side of the building to soak in the sun before lunch." You jumped off the pot. "Feel free to join us when you feel like it. I bet she'd love to meet you too!" you called up to the sullen bird Pokémon.>You looked up the tree again just to see Nick hastily looking away.>You paused and just listened to the rustling."Keep your chin up, Nick!">You saluted the private."I know we both have to..." you added quietly.>With those final words, you dismissed yourself and left Nick to his own devices.>He'd come around, you were sure of it.>Perhaps he needed more time to think, or maybe he didn't trust you fully. You did have a mental breakdown right in front of him after all...>How could you trust someone with your troubles when they've just broken down in front of you? It would be foolish to think that anyone else wouldn’t have reacted in exactly the same way.>You needed to get a hold of yourself if you wanted to be a dependable sergeant. Just... where could you start?>You passed the entrance again.>Your pile of troubles was enormous and all you had was your bare hands.>Man, if only Michelle didn't break up with you... she'd know a tool or two to help you start working on that pile.>No matter how you turned it, Lady Luck spat in your face and dealt you a low-scoring hand straight after.
>>59282564>...>Others said that it would pass, that it would get easier after adjusting, but what if that wasn't your last bad hand? Your only trump card was your wit, yet a single card couldn't win you a game.>You shook your head. Enough of the bad thoughts. You'd been dealt your cards and you were determined to see it through to the end. Maybe life would make a bad play and let you steal the victory in the end?>You emptied your head as you turned the corner. It was time to relax.--->>59279456>>59279461Nice to see Matt again. His GF really thinks of everything, doesn't she? Not many turnees have that luxury.>big spoonSimply adorable. I wonder how a Vaporeon feels like. Would it be cool or just a lukewarm dampness? There needs to be a study about this!>feel her heartbeatInteresting take on the water aspect of a Vaporeon. I wonder what else Matt is sensitive to now? Sensing the water flow in the piping in the walls, maybe?We have zero reason to believe that the GF lied to Matt about her heart racing, but I can't shake the feeling that it isn't the whole truth.
>>59282591His girlfriend broke up with him when he turned? Bitch. If shortly before, less bitch.
There's a lot of spam and slide threads today. I almost thought something was happening.
apologies for being out of commission a while, been unwell. either way.>be me>still learning what I can about pokemon, but updating the help guide is... on the backburner>this is in part, because I don't have much else I can add from my experiences at home.>and partially, because I keep running into the same fucking PIPS case over and over.>so, I presume I'm not the only one who experiences this, but there's one new case in town, a plusle, relatively nice, not like the Cinc I ran into beforehand.>the problem is that they have lightning rod, so it's really hard to not run into them over. and over. and OVER.>they seem aware of it too, and to be honest I'm not sure if they're smug or exhasperated>...>in other recent developments, they now know how fucking good it feels to go find a power line and take a nap there.>so uh... new friend? I think? I don't really know, but I swear I feel more chill around other electric types than I proooobably should.

My IP range was pretty conveniently blocked not long after my previous return a few months ago, so I'm sorry for quietly disappearing. It got so annoying that I just stopped using the site for a few months. Only came back a few weeks ago and forgot this thread existed until someone reminded me of it.Anyway, I have a new part to post for Isaac's story. I normally try to also edit the previous part that I've posted based on feedback, but it's been so long and I didn't really take notes on anything? So please leave feedback on this one and the previous part, and I'll try to make some edits here and there if there are issues or suggestions on changes to make the story more interesting.https://rentry.org/cb24k1tiAnd I think I have a draft for another umbreon story sitting on my computer somewhere, but I wasn't sure what to do with the character. Was supposed to be a one-off but it might be fun to write another story for him.
>>59287849>And I think I have a draft for another umbreon story sitting on my computer somewhere, but I wasn't sure what to do with the character. Was supposed to be a one-off but it might be fun to write another story for him.Dark types would probably get almost as bad as a pop-culture rap as psychics.

>>59289078Unironically would give them a hell of a rap while everyone was still freaking out and coming to terms with the new world everyone's found themselves living in.
>>59287849Excellent update! I can’t remember if part 13 was new as well or if I simply hadn’t read it yet. Either way, it’s nice to hear from our pious protagonist again. At this rate, he may as well create an Uber account for how much he ends up driving Pokémon around. I hope the Thyplosion gets the help he needs. He sounds pleasant.
>>59289353I hadn't actually read the story before, so I'm going through it. Oof, poor guy does not have a good time.
>>59287849IDK if you were around when I said it but I thought The Moon Never Rises was amazing.

>>59287849I know the IP range ban issue all to well... Glad it sorted itself out and you found us again!Your new chapter was quite enjoyable as well! God's chosen janitor made me laugh harder than it probably should have. H. Typhlosion is a very cool pick too. It's also the first time someone has forgotten their real name, isn't it?Either way, poor lad has been through a lot. Breaking up with his GF, then turning while on a supposedly relaxing weekend trip gotta be on the upper half of the list for shitty weeks. Give that Mon a hug, Isaac, he needs it!As for the feedback for your shadow-dropped part 13, not too much you missed I think. Here's Machoanon's comments, in case you haven't read them already: >>>59002829. Otherwise just look at the archived thread on b4k or something:>>>58989235(Sure hope that's how one's supposed to link posts outside the current thread)>Another Umbreon storyI think it would be a fun continuation as well. I really liked the premise of the first story/part. If you have an idea how to continue, I'd say go for it!

>>59282591>The backside of the complex was rather nice. There was a somewhat open courtyard with a grassy area and a tree.>The white-and-blue, long-eared cat and a barely noticeable yellow speck sat on the recently cut lawn.>The scrabbling of your steps on the neatly arranged cobblestone made Vanessa's ears perk up and she looked your way.>She waved you over to her and Joel.>You trotted over to them. The still slightly damp grass felt more pleasant to walk on than the rough cobbles.>Vanessa had a grin on her face as you came closer. She turned her head to the electric type. "Told you that he'd be here soon!">You greeted them both and sat down cross-legged next to them.>Joel sat with his legs tucked in under his body – much like a cat would, funnily enough – while Vanessa leaned back on her arms while stretching out her legs.>The way she was lying on the grass didn't fit the graceful appearance of a Meowstic at all. It was a funny sight.>"Anyway, where was I?" Vanessa asked everyone, trying to pick up the thread again. "Oh, yeah, doing anything physical suuucks!">Apparently, you interrupted Vanessa as she was talking about all the exercises and how a Meowstic fared in them.>She ranted about her weak core strength and that she barely reached 12 points in every discipline.>"The worst thing is that during my service, I always reached over 80 points to get the ribbon," she lamented, her ears drooping."Huh, I'm actually the opposite," you said. "Got a lot of points everywhere, but only barely got the ribbon once before I became like this." You gestured at yourself.>Vanessa's ears perked back up. "Oh? Bragging aside, how many points did you get?" Vanessa asked. "I didn't really pay attention to you during the tests.">You didn't intend to brag and apologised. The cat Pokémon dismissed your apology, stating with a chuckle that she was only messing with you.>You then began to tell them your points and what changed from before turning.
>>59306831>The one-legged stance was flawless and got you the full 25 points. You were always bad at balancing yourself before, barely balancing 30 seconds for mere 7 points at times."I guess because I have such short legs now, that my centre point of mass is lower as well," you concluded.>Vanessa nodded. "The fact you're a fighting type probably helps as well," she remarked while she scratched the base of her right ear. "Did they make you tug in your tail as well to stop you from using it as counterbalance?" she followed up.You sighted. "They did. It was more annoying to keep it in place than actually balancing myself without it, though.">"Oh, so your tail is more vestigial than mine are, huh?""I... guess?" you replied.>You looked behind you and watched your tail move about. You still didn't really get how to intently move or use it, nor whether it fulfilled an important role with keeping balance. You just could sometimes—like earlier when that cat pawed at your tail and you had to get it out of harms way.>Luckily, the Voice helped with these seemingly insignificant things when they were needed. As much as you despised it, you were thankful that you didn't need to actively think about getting your tail out of closing doorways or thinking about keeping balance with it.>You looked back to Vanessa, just to see her remove a blade of grass out of one of her tails."Anyway, I guess it hindered you more than it hindered me?" you asked her.>Vanessa thought about it for a second while she moved her tail back behind her. "What do you think? Small body with a big head isn't exactly a great combo. My tails are what keep me upright most of the time. They really screwed me over with denying me to use them..." She frowned.>Joel looked at you two and lowered his head a bit. "Man, that sounds scummy. At least you had something to actually do. They just let me balance on increasingly smaller poles."
>>59306834>Vanessa's ears perked up again and there was a small spark in her eyes. "Really? That sounds way more fun! Why do you think it was boring?">"Well, it would be, if I weren't a spider that could literally walk up walls..." he replied sarcastically.>"Oh... You got full points, didn't you?">"Yep," he responded dryly.>After a short pause, Vanessa began to laugh. "Guess the military is as clueless as ever, huh? Some things just never change, despite a global disruptive event.">Her laughter was contagious, and you both laughed heartily along with her.>After the three of you calmed down, Vanessa leaned in towards the spider Pokémon. "They didn't force you to throw a full size medicine ball, right?" she asked.>Joel just looked at her in silence, before trying to keep back another laugh.>"Oh no!" She burst out laughing again and let herself fall backwards onto the lawn.>You leaned forwards and held a paw to your forehead, joining the laughter."Of course they'd do that," you said while still chuckling. "How embarrassed was the guy when he realised his mistake?">"Verily. The Lefty apologised a hundred times and scrambled to get me a better suited ball," Joel replied, while Vanessa sat up again."Which was?">"First we tried a tennis ball. After I struggled to lift the thing, he found a smaller rubber ball.""Alright, I guess you threw that one and got some points?" you enquired.>"Yeah, I threw it about a metre. The Lefty then calculated my points based on the size difference between the balls, and myself compared to the average man. Got me 17 points!" he said proudly, puffing himself up.>"Oha, nice work! I only managed nine points," Vanessa replied. You could see from her big, yellow eyes that she was annoyed.>Noticing that you stared at her, she turned towards you and asked what you scored.
>>59306836>You got 20 points by throwing the ball 7.5 metres. Keeping the theme of comparing pre-turned scores with post-turning scores you also added that you usually just got five points in the past.>"From man with noodle arms to full al dente noodle, huh?" Vanessa remarked with a smile.>Your smile faded.>She picked up on your mood shift immediately. "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to―">"No, it's fine. I'm still in the adjustment phase is all." you told her.>"Oh? When did you turn if I may ask?" She leaned in closer to you."About six weeks ago. You?">You tried to redirect attention away from you again. You really didn't want to dwell on it and bring down the genuinely good mood.>Vanessa returned to leaning back on her arms and thought for a moment. "Hmm, I'm not sure. Probably four to five weeks if I had to guess.">That was way lower than you expected. The way she moved and had control over herself made it look like she had several months to get to that point.>It made you feel bad that you didn't get along with your new self as easily.>Joel spoke up afterwards, perhaps being surprised by her answer as well, asking whether she had any PIPS symptoms.>Vanessa was lost in thought for a while. Whether it was because she didn't want to tell or because she wasn't sure herself, you couldn't tell.>She pulled her legs up to her chest and put her arms around them, rested her head on her knees, and looked out into the distance.>"Well, I'm actually not so sure," she began. "I don't really have strong instincts, but I sometimes have sudden surges of psychic power. Worst migraines I ever had!">She then unfolded her ears to reveal the two eye-shaped, red markings. "I get headaches pretty quickly when using my powers, which sucks. I guess the universe just likes to prank me, because I'd love to use telekinesis more often," she said with a frown, before folding her ears again.
>>59306840>Joel looked at her ears in awe. "That sucks... I'm sorry to hear that. What can you do with this power, though?">"The usual for a psychic type, I guess?" she replied. She thought for a moment, then continued, "generally I just move stuff around.">"Ooh, like what? Can you lift cars?" Joel said with excitement.>"Nah, the biggest I was able to lift was my dad," she replied. Then her ears unfolded again and the markings, as well as her eyes, began to glow a bright blue.>You immediately felt something tug at your whole body. Your coat quickly stood on end and your whiskers and tail pressed themselves close against your body.>It felt like something was trying to lift every individual cell in your body simultaneously.>It wasn't painful, but you began to feel something primal settling in your stomach.---
>>59306843The plot thickens! Nice to meet our Meowstic at long last.
>>59306843I expected her to be a lot colder and more GMan-like. She's surprisingly pleasant! This isn't psychic trickery is it? Was she making them laugh somehow!?!When does Joel throwing a ball turn into him simply jumping/pushing off of it? It's the old "does he get wet, or does water get him?" question.
>>59268573It's amusing how the original Garbodor Dad post left it somewhat ambiguous as to whether or not he was actually a Mafioso, but now this one just goes full mask off immediately. Guess I'll be calling him Garbodor Don from now on.>no one has done a thing to capitalize on itThere might be several good reasons for that, in fairness...I'll give you a pass on not twigging that the boss' willing proximity to stinky garbage might be an indication of something, but mate, why is your piece writhing? Did you bring a Remoraid instead of an actual gun? Don't bring Remoraids to your mob hits, people.. Agent 47 this guy ain't.Love that entrance line from Garbodor Don. Mob bossing is an unpleasant business, but if anything that makes it all the more imperative that you can be cool and based while doing it. Yet he also brings the silliness we've previously seen from him at the same time, which is a lot of fun.Gotta wonder, even if Garbodor Don HAND'T found their plan in the trash, would shooting a Garbodor even do anything? They're kind of amorphous, and he even takes that to the extreme. Now obviously the stooges didn't know he was one yet, but still...>Smell you laterFuck's sake...The lack of fanfare with the stooges' deaths rubs me the wrong way a little bit, but that's just me being a bleeding heart (there's a reason I don't usually go for organized crime stories). I'm still quite curious about the Don's initial transformation and how his original personality compares with his current one.
have I truly become a (pocket) monster?
>>59308559Funny how nobody seems to draw Furret at its full six feet of noodlyness.
>>59308561he's a big guy.
>>59308595>>59308595>>59308595>>59308595
Do natural pokemon exist in the world of any of these stories or did mons only come into existence once transformations began to occur?
>>59308625if they didn't ooooh boy Nintendo/gamefreak/TPC would have themselves a hard time.
>>59308625Only after the transformations started.>>59308649Definitely an interesting time for the company to be sure.
>>59308670maybe it'd be like detective pikachu wherein some ultra rich autist wanted everyone to become pokemon and would receive the blame.
>>59308291Thanks for the review! I know keeping the dad’s status in suspense probably makes for a more dramatic story, but I feel like this makes him more intimidating.You picked up on a couple of my authorial attempts to be literary that, perhaps, fell flat. The gun is “writhing” to metaphorically show an itchy trigger finger and willingness to kill. A bit strained? Maybe. I also didn’t know how to handle the death itself. The lack of fanfare was supposed to show how cold the don is, especially when paired with how casually he plays around the topic on the phone call. On the other hand, I don’t give it the emotional weight a calculated murder deserves and I’m afraid it makes me come across as a bit of a psychopath.Either way, new rentry created for our mobster monster. https://rentry.co/DonGarbodor
>>59306843>Before you could protest, you found yourself levitating a few centimetres above the ground.>At that moment, the Voice began to wail at you, triggering a full-blown fight or flight response.>Vanessa, seeing your expression again, immediately stopped and set you gently on the ground again. The glow in her eyes faded and her ears folded in again.>Your eyes were widened and you panted heavily, your heart raced, and the Voice wanted to force itself into control.>You could barely hold yourself together. Losing control now would mean danger for the other two—you were sure of it!>You forced yourself to lie back-first onto the damp grass and spread your arms and legs. The cool lawn help you calm down.>You closed your eyes and began to take deep breaths.>You heard Vanessa scramble to her legs. "Oh shit, I'm so sorry!" Her voice sounded terrified.>You heard how both of them hurried over to you. Not long after, you felt the little feet of the bug type on your chest.>You could feel every little twitch of the small arachnid on your body. It seemed that your senses were heightened by all the adrenaline flushing through your body.>It freaked you out. For the first time you clearly felt everything in your body. From the slight breeze nudging your whiskers and fur, to your tail that was uncomfortably bent between your body and the lawn.>"Hey, Etienne! What just happened?" Joel asked, concern in his voice. You felt a slight static radiating from him.>You grumbled in response. Luckily for you, you calmed down just as quickly as you'd got all worked up.>Breath in. Hold. Breath out. Hold. Repeat. You were really glad you took up meditation before you turned.>While your breathing and pulse swiftly returned to normal, your heightened senses didn't. You felt every blade of grass losing contact with the fur on your back as you slowly sat up to give Joel time to jump off you.>As he did, you felt his body tense up before he leapt.
>>59309625"I—I don't really know," you said. "I just felt something tug at every cell in my body and then it just... overwhelmed me.">The Meowstic came closer to you. "So... you have strong instincts?" she sheepishly asked.>You hesitated to answer and opted to look at the ground."I somewhat have, but... I never had such a violent outburst before...">There was a short silence between the three of you.>"Oh, I see..." Vanessa eventually said. "I'm terribly sorry that I used Psychic on you. I should've known it would interact badly with fighting types." She frowned, her tails timidly wrapping around her legs and her hears drooping heavily.>You felt really bad for her.>It was your time to dismiss her apologies. You didn't want to see her worried.>As scary as it was, you rather had that experience now than in a more serious moment.>It got you thinking, though. You felt an ominous power wrapping you up and seeping into every cell, but what was her experience with it?"How does it feel to use your psychic powers?" you asked while standing up, as your heightened senses slowly faded. Interestingly, you still had full control over your tail.>Vanessa silently stood in front of you, staring into space while still wrapped up in her own tails.>While she was thinking you realised just how much shorter she was compared to you. She barely reached your chest.>You wondered how she felt about her height and whether she despised it just as much as you did. She was good at hiding it, if it were the case.>Vanessa finally spoke up. "It's kinda hard to explain if you didn't experience it first-hand..." she began. "Think of it as an extra arm that you can move around."―she was making gestures with her arms, as if she wanted to grab something in the air―"Everything you touch is enclosed in the hand. Then you can just manipulate the object like you would with your real hands, I suppose." Her tails uncurled while she spoke and her hears perked up to their normal position.
>>59309632>You imagined how psychic powers could possibly feel like, and once again, you felt bad about yourself because you didn't really have any such cool powers. Compared to the others, you really were just a misshapen, furry human.>At least it took your mind off your instincts going haywire.>The conversation moved along while you three sat down again, as Vanessa first asked Joel what powers he had, before asking you the same question.>Joel didn't have much to say, other than that he could taser people, "eat" electricity, and walk up walls.>Then it was your turn. You just told them what you thought just moments prior.>Vanessa's right hear drooped after your answer. "Really? Nothing?" she questioned you."Yes, what are you trying to get out of me?" you snapped back, slightly annoyed. "I don't have psychic powers, nor anything else 'unnatural'"―you made air quotes with your paws―"The only remarkable thing is that meditating has a refreshing effect on me.">"Ah, see? There is something special about you after all!" she said with a wide grin while pointing at you with her left paw.>Ugh. She had a point, but it certainly didn't feel like something special to you. In fact, you were pretty sure a regular human could do the same with enough practice.>Joel also inserted himself into the conversation. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Mienshao supposed to be super quick and strong? Like 'pulverising boulders with kicks' kinda strong?">You had read the dex entries, but you didn't pay them any attention until now."I haven't done anything like that, nor do I honestly think that I'm that quick, considering how hard I fumbled the endurance run in the exam." You held your nose.>"Aww, throwing in the towel after one minor setback already?" Vanessa playfully mocked you. "Are you always that gloomy?">You didn't answer. Vanessa just nodded and replied with a monotonous "Right..."
>>59309636>For the rest of the remaining time you three shared some boring stories about everyday life. Unfortunately, Nick didn't show up.>At twelve, you three made your way back to the entrance to get lunch in the canteen.>At the entrance stood a Major.>«Sergent-major chef Vanessa?» he asked.>Vanessa saluted. "Yes Major, what do you need?">«The Colonel wants to speak to you before you have lunch. It's about your proposal to switch functions,» he replied with a heavy French accent.>"Oh, um, yes, of course!">The Major then lead her away after you all said goodbye.>Before Joel and you went inside too, you glanced at the tree. >Nick no longer sat in the branches. Maybe you'd see him in the cafeteria?>"A Fäudi, huh?" you heard Joel say to himself as you moved towards the canteen.>He looked up to you. "Are Nick and I really the only privates here?""Looks like it, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. She seemed above all of that rank stuff.">However, you were more curious about why she had requested a switch. Was she fed up with being responsible for administering a whole company?>"Something you two have in common at least," Joel remarked, pulling you out of your reverie.>Once you entered the canteen you saw a huge queue to the food distribution stand by the kitchen.>Before you spotted the sign with the menu, you already sniffed out what today's menu was: Pot-au-feu!>You took a tray, cutlery and a paper napkin.>Joel asked if he could hop onto the tray so he wouldn't be trampled by accident.>You complied and asked him if he needed anything else.>He declined, stating that he already charged up on the outlet and would maybe just nibble on a piece of meat from your serving.>You had a look around the room to try and spot Nick somewhere, but you didn't see the brightly coloured bird Pokémon anywhere.>With nothing else to do but wait, you told Joel about what happened to Nick.
>>59309638>Joel told you that he sometimes did that and that he'd usually come around quickly.>"I'll have a chat with Feathers, if it eases your mind," he said.>You thanked him.>Then the both of you waited patiently in line.---Updated the Rentry: https://rentry.org/whipping-back-into-action#part-7-soaking-in-the-sunNew entries to the Glossary: Fäudi, RC (Repetition Course), and Pot-au-feu.
>>59309649This one feels a little bit disjointed. The transitions from one character talking or doing something to another are kind of abrupt.
>>59249583>"FUCK!!!" she shouted while kicking the back of the couch.>Her eyes closed and twitched, but without a sign of tears.>While you expected her to trash the couch, you were surprised when she went limp again and sat on the floor with her back against the couch's.>You jumped off and got behind it as fast as you could.>She was just sitting there limp, like a rag doll.>You tried reaching out your hand towards her, but she was surrounded by an aura of pain.>Only after you pulled your hand away in a reflexive motion was it barely recognizable as cold.>Leaving her sitting on the ground wasn't an option, so you had to find a way to help her up.>You grabbed your blanket with the hope it would provide enough insulation from the cold to put her on the couch.>You managed to wrap it around her.>Luckily for you, she didn't resist.>In fact, she just let it happen.>You managed to pick her up, feeling coldness through the blanket.>Not enough to give you instant frostbite, but not something you could ignore either.>You moved her around the couch and gently laid her down near the armrest.>A part of you hoped that she would say something or even try to act against you.>A sign that she had a will to live.>The sign came when she rolled up her hair and used it as a makeshift pillow.>But she was just lying there with her eyes open, staring into the distance.>"It will be fine..." You said to her, trying to reassure her.>In a moment her yellow eyes darted towards you, and a pulse of cold hit you.>There was an anger in them.>You expected her to jump on you, but that didn't happen.>In fact, without a word said, she just returned to staring in front of herself.>Then she readjusted herself and closed her eyes as if she was going to sleep.>"We can talk about this once you wake up." You said to her with your hand stretched out to ascertain the temperature.>She didn't say a word.>The only thing left for you was to wait.
>>59310099Bro's gonna have to do something ridiculous, corny and heartfelt to break her out of the spiral.
would you wear clothes? I think I would it'd feel awkward even with null crotches which is a whole other can of worms I don't want to even think about.
>>59311563depends on what i amsome cool accessories maybe, but certainly not pants or underwear in general
>>59311563Is there a consensus about whether these characters are nulls?
>>59311648I refuse to contemplate characters discovering the horrors of a cloaca.
>>59311648We don't need to talk about that here
Gonna have to take a raincheck on commenting on Church and Mien's recent updates for a little bit. If you guys can manage to hold out for about 16-17 more hours without starting a new thread I can have the archive updated like usual. Gonna make a small change to the FAQ as well.>>59279461I don't have much to add this time beyond what the others have already said. I do have a theory for why else the GF's heart might be racing, but it might be too fetishy for this thread.>>59284036Good to hear from you again, Emolganon! I think I said this before, but so long as you don't go raiding any substations, I don't see a reason why you shouldn't seek out electric type friends - what's this Plusle like? Maybe do some human activities or tasks as well to keep yourself psychologically balanced. Moderation in both how much Pokemonness you embrace and in how much effort you put into maintaining continuity with your previous human self - that's the key to forging a stable sense of self in your new form, IMO. Out of curiosity, how is this issue with Lightning Rod manifesting? Are you finding yourself unconsciously drawn in unexpected directions, or...?>>59310099I think >59310228 has the right of it. Copanon too seems to have recognized that he and Layla are at an impasse. Poor girl... Honestly she's another character who, like Garbodor Don, I'd be interested in seeing a flashback to her human self for contrast.>>59311648Though they wouldn't actually be nulls (whilst >59312177's comment has some merit, it WAS, in fairness, already reckoned in a previous thread that turnees being doomed to die out in a single generation would be too grimdark), most cartoon characters have the inexplicable but vitally useful ability to perfectly conceal their genitals at all times, thereby appearing to be null. The same, despite /sip/'s more realistic bent, applies here. Pure writing convenience? Yes, but there's a very good reason Nobody Poops in fiction.
>>59309802Appreciate the honesty!Note to myself: Don't rush things for the sake of posting before an arbitrary deadline. I won't be able to write for the upcoming two weeks and I wanted to finish the chapter before the thread hit bump limit.I'll probably have another jab at it once I have some spare time again. No full rewrite, but a cleanup.I hope you all enjoyed Vanessa's introduction despite the word slurry. I teased her for long enough.>>59310099Talking about a bad day. Yeesh, Layla really tumbled down depression alley. Poor lass truly can't catch a break. I hope Copanon has an idea how to improve her mood, because I don't think scratches are gonna cut it this time.>>59311648What Macho said. I strictly go for the official models in terms of looks. Just assume they have everything needed for starting a family without mentioning it. This is a blue board after all and I'd like to not find myself on /trash/ anytime soon.As for wearing clothes. PIPS is a great tool to dismiss the disturbing reality of modern humanity's frequent reoccurring nightmare of finding oneself naked in public. It's just the new instincts, bro. (It is for Etienne, at least)>>59312202It's up to you whether you want to wait until I've rewritten the bumpy second half before putting out a review. I'll appreciate it either way!
>>59312202>what's this Plusle like?like, halfway NEET, not full NEET like I used to be before... squirrel, but still. prefers to stay indoors. as far as I can tell they frequent the library?>how is this issue with Lightning Rod manifesting? Are you finding yourself unconsciously drawn in unexpected directions, or...?alright, picture. you're like me, probably electric type. out and about, you're thinking about picking up something for lunch, got a few cafes to pick from.nine times out of ten if one of 'em has a lightning rod user in it, you're gonna end up in there.it's not something that'll happen if you're actively looking for one specific spot, but if where you're going is open ended... more likely than not you'll end up getting drawn towards the LR user.I presume abilities like flash fire work similarly, but as I'm not a fire type, I can't test that.
do I get an N word pass if I become this fellow?

Also, a slight edit to the FAQ:>FAQ>What is this?People are turning into Pokemon in the real world. Some are having the time of their lives, and some are struggling to survive. These are their stories.>How do I join?Just start posting.>What's the lore?People and animals (and at least one tree) are changing at random in their sleep, waking up still in the real world, but now as Pokemon, and nobody knows why (that includes you. Please don't try to explain it). Just enough transformations are occurring to notably change day-to-day life without collapsing civilization. This is not the apocalypse, even if it might feel like it to some characters in the moment. Some people are more in touch with their instincts than others, and some have lost more of their humanity than others. That's about it. Avoid legendaries if possible.>What the Hell is PIPS?In many of the stories, the scientific community in-universe has begun referring to Pokemon instincts and the loss of humanity some people who transform experience as Pokémon Induced Psychosis Syndrome, or PIPS. The term is explained in more detail here: https://rentry.org/sip-concepts
>>59312202>I'd be interested in seeing a flashback to her human self for contrast.I was considering giving her a flash forward of her interacting with her family on thanksgiving. But didn't really get the time to write it at the time.
