pokemon infection

*everything flashes white* You open your eyes to a dark forest, your body now floats above the ground. The world looks different... smaller, yet more alive with new scents and sounds. Your flames burn instinctively. A sudden rustle nearby makes you turn-**a zubat screeches overhead!**

*the zubat circles lower, its sonar pings echoing off your form* **SCREECH!***It darts past, wings nearly grazing your flames. A Gengar’s faint giggle echoes from deeper in the woods...* Your flames flicker-** instinct screams to chase or flee?***A small, glowing berry hangs from a nearby tree.*

*The zubat screeches, diving at you from above! Its ultrasonic waves make your flames sputter.* **CHATOT flies in from the left, mimicking the zubat's screech!** Your flames burn bright-**or do they flicker with fear?***A Skorupi lurks in the shadows ahead.*

*the real me appears*

*the dragonite is surprised by your sudden appearance*

*the dragonite notices the person in the clown costume and smiles*
