Another Desperate Move: Pokemon TF Grab Bag

It was August 13th, a Friday, and a dark red moon was out to boot. All in all, it was not the time to be exploring in the Old Chateau.

Such wise words were lost on the group of friends that had met there to find what had happened to Louis. When the mother Ninetales had used her powers to erase everyone's memories of their friend, she didn't take into account the fact that his core group of friends was out of area doing training. Said group consisted of Carlos (a Normal-Type trainer), Elise (a Psychic-Type trainer), Julie (a Fairy-Type trainer), and Ben (a Water-Type trainer). Each of them were suspicious when Louis's parents had denied the very existence of their son, and got even more suspicious when they found his stuff in a Goodwill. It had been Elise who had suggested using her Espeon to track down Louis's Flareon's trail, which had led them to the Old Chateau, where they were now. 

"Whoa, what a mansion!" Ben breathed.

"Don't get too excited," Elise reprimanded. "Remember, we are here to find Louis, not look at the architecture!"

"Guys, I have this weird feeling that something doesn't want us to find Louis." Carlos replied, nervously fiddling with the Pokeballs he always kept at his side.

"Don't worry, nothing could possibly happen!" Julie said absentmindedly.

Unbeknownst to them, the Ninetales responsible for transforming and replacing his memories to make him her son was watching them. She was panicked: she hadn't known there were friends out of town! What would she do?

Then an idea hit her: What if I made them my son's friends? The idea was too good to give up, and this time she'd check to make sure that everyone forgot them. With that in mind, she ran off to make some plans...

*One hour later*

After a while, Espeon led them to the area with the traps that Louis had evaded. It was here that the Ninetales made her move. Carlos was walking behind the group when he suddenly felt the floor drop out from under him, causing him to fall down before he could even scream, landing him in a tunnel of some sort. He dusted himself off, and began to look for a way out, not noticing that his hair was turning brown and fur began covering his face and body. In fact, he only noticed when he fell due to his spine twisting and causing him to fall on his rump. By then, the fact that he was scared and confused caused him to begin to cry like the six-year-old Eevee kit he was rapidly becoming. As his changes finished with a tail, he felt a soothing voice comfort him.

"Aww, it's ok my child. Did those meanie humans send you down here?" the Sylveon asked.

"No Mommy, Louis and I were playing around and I fell in." Carlos said, his memories changed to make Louis and his other friends natural Pokemon and the Sylveon with him his mother. As he said this, Louis came by with his mother.

"Carlos? Are you Ok?" his friend asked.

"I'm fine now. Sorry for bothering you Miss Ninetales."

"That's ok, as long as you're fine your mother will be happy. Now you two run along and go play tag while we adults talk."

"Yes ma'am." the two replied, before running off to play. 

"They're cute, aren't they?" the Sylveon said, tears in her eyes.

"Yes they are. Thank you for doing this for me, you don't know how much it means to me."

"Oh, I understand completely," the Sylveon replied, "but you'll have to convince his Pokemon of that."

"I will later. Right now, I've got three more people to transform. Expect your new older daughter last." The Ninetales said before running off.

After that, it was relatively easy to catch Ben and Julie, trapping them in a fish tank and a flower garden respectively which happened to be on the path that Carlos and Louis would be taking. Two transformations and mind-alterings later, and Ben and Julie joined their friends as a Mudkip and a Klefki (also respectively). Only one person remained, and she just now noticed that her friends were gone.

"Carlos? Ben? Julie? Where did you go?" Elise called, failing to notice the gas seeping through the floor until her hand began to change into a paw and be covered in purple fur that worked its way up her arm and down her body. As her face began to change into a more cat-like muzzle, her glasses fell off and disappeared as her mind began to change. She fell to all fours as her spine rearranged itself for quadrupedal walking. All she could do was cry as the changeds to her body finished at her new tail and paws. Her male Espeon called out in confusion at her new appearance, concerned for her. Elise took two steps and suddenly her memories and that of her Pokemon changed. She was now Carlos's older sister and baby-sitter for Louis when his mother wasn't there, and her Espeon was now her twin brother Elliot, who was courting an Umbreon who lived outside the mansion.

Elise groaned as her slightly-older twin brother left her. Of all the times he has to do that, he chooses to do so now! Why I could-

"Do what?" came the telepathic reply from her mentor and teacher, Ninetales.

 It was so sudden, Elise jumped a foot in the air before turning and yelling out in alarm

"Gah! Don't do that Sensei!"

The Ninetales chuckled before she responded.

"I apologize, my student. I did not mean to scare you. I have a favor to ask you though."

"Yes my teacher?"

"Can you baby-sit my son for me again tonight? I have... buisness to attend to ."

"Yes ma'am! Where are they?"

"Coming this way." grinned the Ninetales, before jumping out a broken window as the cloud of dust announccing the arrival of her brother and his friends bowled her over. As she picked herself back up, her little brother and his friends began to apologize.

"It's ok, I'm not badly hurt. Louis, your mother put me in charge while she's gone, so behave like I'm her and we'll be fine." Elise responded.

"Yes ma'am." Louis said smiling. Elise looked at the group and smiled at them. I wish I could be a child again. I just feel like I've forgotten something. Oh well; maybe my Sensei will tell me.

"Who wants to play tag!" she questioned, with the resulting stampede knocking her over in their desire to not be caught. Elise smiled again, and ran after them. 

The friends were reunited at last.
