First, they were walking. Then, there was a sudden blur of yellow fur, and Rizen let out a yell, stopping in his tracks. There was more movement and startled squeaks from his two Pokemon. Heart racing, the Pokemorph tried to figure out what had just crossed his way. It was a golden furred fox with nine tails, and strangely, a bag in its mouth. Well, it wasn't too strange to Rizen anymore, since he had already seen many strange things during his short time here...
"A Ninetales!" Thorn gasped, eyes widening. Rose darted next to Rizen and eyed the Ninetales warily, in case it was going to be a threat. Thorn, however, was bouncing up and down excitedly. "Why do you have a bag with you, miss?" he asked the Ninetales.

The Ninetales shook its head a few times to rattle herself back into order. Once she did, she eyed the trainer and the two Pokemon that were with him, though she seemed not at all like a threat. She tried her best to smile, especially in the direction of the small Treecko that seemed to be wary of her. "Excuse me," she said, all nine of her tails flicking. "I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going," she explained, sounding very apologetic. It was when the Shroomish questioned her bag, that she suddenly turned to look at it. Several pokeballs had spilled out of the bag and onto the ground when she had dropped it. Just in that pile alone there was more than six pokeballs. Including what was still in the bag, one would estimate that she was carrying close to thirty of them. She sighed. Moments later, the Ninetales began to glow and transform, a very interesting scene to watch. Standing in its place, there was a young woman adorned with all the tails of a Ninetales, large wings, and two feline ears, revealing herself to be another Pokemorph. She looked at everyone again, smiling much more easily now that she was as close to human as she would ever be. "My name is Taya. I'm carrying the bag in order to transport all these Pokemon. It's much easier to do when in one of my other forms." As she said this, she crouched down to pick up the bag and start replacing the fallen pokeballs back inside it.

Three pairs of eyes opened wide as the Ninetales transformed from a Pokemon into a girl with its tails, bird Pokemon wings, and elegant little ears poised on the top of her head.
"W-woaahhh..." Thorn gasped, awestruck at the change.
Rizen stared at Taya before looking over his shoulder at his metal wings. Turning back to the girl, he asked, "Are....are you...like me? A Pokemorph?" But he didn't seem to have the power to turn into a Skarmory. He remembered what Maevia said, about some having the ability to become Pokemon and others only with body parts of Pokemon, and supposed that he was the latter.
Rose seemed to have lost her wariness entirely at the transformation and was now gazing in wonder at Taya.

Taya was already busily picking up all the pokeballs that she dropped and returning them to her bag when Rizen was able to ask her about being a Pokemorph. She stopped, holding the last remaining pokeball in one of her hands, and looked at the metal wings poking out from around the other trainer's back. Something about this sight made her smile very brightly.
"Yes, I am a Pokemorph."
At that moment, she rose to her feet once more. "I am influenced by Ninetales, as you know, as well as by Pidgeot," her wings unfolded and folded back into place as she said this, " as well as Persian," she said, pointing to her ears with her free hand, which wiggled in a fairly cute manner.
"Let me guess," she spoke, walking closer to Rizen to get a better look at his wings, "You are influenced by a Skarmory, right? I bet you're a new trainer, too, from the looks of your shiny Treecko." She actually winked and smiled at Rose as she mentioned her.
Oh yes, Taya was a genuinely nice person and certainly friendly.

Ah, so he was right. Taya was a Pokemorph too. Rizen inwardly thought her grin and little feline ears were rather cute, but he showed no outward signs of this opinion. He listened as she pointed out the various Pokemon that influenced her, but she wasn't really sure what she meant by "influence".
"Yeah, I'm a new trainer," he said, as she observed his wings. Rose lifted her head, looking rather proud about being Rizen's first Pokemon. "I'm not really sure what you mean by influence, but I can tell you that these wings are- err, well, they used to be artificial... I handmade them back in my home region, Hoenn. But when I came here they got attached to me...or something." It was at this point that he realized he had never given Taya his name. "Oh, I'm Rizen, by the way. It's a relief to meet someone else in these woods."

So what Taya thought was right, Rizen was new to these lands. It was interesting to see one of the newest trainers that had come to the region, as she had been here quite awhile.
What Rizen said next, however, was what really caught Taya by surprise. "You're telling me that you made those wings?" She made no attempt to hide her surprise. She had never heard of such a thing happening before and was very curious. "And they became attached to you when you arrived here? That is very... unusual. I've never heard of such a thing and, I must say, I have been here for a good while now..." Here, she made a bit of a face as she was thinking. "Perhaps it was your destiny to become a Pokemorph and, now that you're here, that destiny has been fulfilled." What else could it have been? To her, this was the most logical answer that she could provide.

There was that word again. Destiny. Maevia had told Rizen that perhaps it was his destiny to be a Pokemorph, and now Taya was saying the same thing. "I dunno," he sighed, shrugging. "Maybe."
"Whoaa, what, what?" Thorn gasped, stunned by this little tidbit on his trainer's wings. The Pokemorph blinked at the odd colored Shroomish. "You mean, you made those? I thought you just came with them!"
"Well I came here with them," Rizen muttered. He gazed back at Taya and rubbed his eyes with a hand. "I have no idea what I'm supposed to do though... If it's my destiny, then what am I here for?"

Taya chuckled slightly, finding the situation just a little ironic. After all, Rizen was probably asking the most well-versed Pokemorph in the entire Region of Trilotics that knew anything about Trilotics.
"Trilotics is a Region that has more Pokemorphs than any other Region, save for perhaps a place where there is an entire Pokemorph colony. Otherwise, you will never see such an abundance of morphs. Many humans in the other regions may go their whole lives without actually meeting or seeing a Pokemorph. Here, Pokemorphs can prosper. The divide between them and humans is blurring here, as even normal humans can understand Pokemon once they arrive here. Without so much difference, it is easier to live among one another. You were likely brought here for that reason- worthy Pokemorphs are being looked for especially, or so I think. It is to make their lives easier." Taya explained this all without missing a beat, as if it had been the most common of all knowledge.
"I mean, do you happen to know how Pokemorphs, aside from your unusual case, come to be?"

It seemed that Taya knew a lot about Trilotics. He listened carefully as she spoke of the Pokemorphs. He remembered that he was shocked when he saw the girl with the bird Pokemon wings, and he couldn't help but wonder what some other, more negative reactions were. If people, Pokemon, and Pokemorphs could live together more safely here, then that was a bit of relief. Rizen didn't know what he'd do if someone thought he was a freak of nature.
"Um," he said, "well Maevia, that is, the Gardevoir at the Lab in this forest... I don't know if you know her, but you probably do. She did tell me that some Pokemorphs are experimented on, and others are born Pokemorphs... She seemed surprised at my situation too."

Taya's ears twitched at the mention of Maevia and the young woman couldn't help but to smile. "Yes, I do know her. In fact, that is where I am headed right now. I am to deliver all of these Pokemon to her," she explained, gesturing briefly toward the large bag of Pokeballs, which she just admitted to being full of Pokemon.
"Maevia is a fairly wise Pokemon, isn't she? What she said is true. Pokemorphs are usually either experiments of some nature or they are born when the genes of a Pokemorph is in a bloodline. In my case... I was an experiment, or so I believe." The multi-morph paused for a moment, seeming a little sad, but almost used to the tale. "I don't remember much, though. I must have escaped my creator, but only after they did away with my memories. I think I had been human before then, but I don't remember any of that, either. This place is like... a safe haven... Your case is odd, at least to me, but I suspect that anything is possible, once you set your mind to it." Her thoughts may have been a little scattered, as they always were when it came to matters of her past, but she hoped that Rizen was able to follow what she was saying. She didn't talk much about her history and her mind usually skipped around on different subjects any time that she brought it up. She couldn't help it.

Rose and Thorn peered curiously at the Pokeballs, wondering what kinds of Pokemon were inside. While they were doing so, Rizen listened carefully to Taya's story. She was a little hard to follow as her speech seemed to hop from place to place, but he seemed to get the gist.
"I'm...sorry about what the scientists did," he said, frowning. He couldn't start to imagine how one took a human and made them into a Pokemorph. But despite the fact that Taya's past still seemed to bother her a bit, for the most part she seemed to be able to deal with it and keep happy. "It seems a little neat to be able to turn into a Pokemon, though... I don't think I can, and I haven't tested out these wings ever since I fell off that cliff back at home..."

Taya didn't miss that Rose and Thorn seemed to be interested in the Pokeballs that she carried with her and it gave her a splendid idea. She would just have to wait a moment to implement it.
"It doesn't bother me too much now... I have too much going for me," Taya replied, smiling slightly. After all, it was currently her responsibility to collect Pokemon for the Mystic Laboratory to give out to new trainers. How could she not like such a role? "Thank you for your concern, though. It is much appreciated." As she said this, she bowed her head, a strange habit that she had picked up, though she wasn't sure from where it had come. "It comes in handy to be able to morph into a Pokemon. Having three forms has served me very well in the past. When you are a Pokemon, you can defend yourself and your own Pokemon from danger. I've had to do it before," she said, recalling one time in particular. "Maybe you will be able to fly here, even if you're not able to transform. Even then, it is something great."
Without another word, she looked down at the one Pokeball that remained within her hand, the one that had been forgotten during their entire conversation. "I'm sorry to say that I cannot stay too much longer, but..." She held out the Pokeball to Rizen. "I think you should have this. It's not going to hurt anyone if Maevia has one less Pokemon at the lab. I think you'd be a good trainer for it."

Rizen grinned a little at Taya's bowing, glad that she wasn't too bothered by her past. "I guess it would be nice to defend your Pokemon with powers like that..." he said, gazing at Thorn and Rose, who both smiled back. He turned back to Taya. "Three forms, you say? What are the other two? I'm guessing a bird and a feline..."
He blinked in surprise when she offered the Pokeball to him. Rizen didn't expect the gift and felt rather honored by it. "O-oh!" he stammered, blinking at the Pokeball. "I can take it, yes... What's inside?" Rose and Thorn scuttled towards the Pokeball as he spoke.

Taya smiled at Rizen's reaction to her giving him one of the Pokemon that she carried. "Inside is a Shinx, if I'm not mistaken. He's a rather feisty fellow, that one there. He was looking forward to getting a trainer." She remembered all of the different Pokemon that she captured to give to Maevia so that the Gardevoir had a stock of Pokemon to give out to new trainers. That Shinx, in particular, came with her voluntarily because it liked the idea of traveling around with a trainer, going on adventures and battling and the whole lot. If it waited at the lab, though, who knew how long it would be there? There was a perfectly fine trainer right here, so why not let him go with Rizen?
"Oh, and I'm a Ninetales, Pidgeot and Persian Pokemorph," the multi-morph added. "You were quite right, a bird and feline."

"A Shinx?" Rizen mumbled. "I've never heard of that one..." He supposed that it was a Pokemon not from Hoenn. There were still many species the Pokemorph had yet to see.
"It's a lion Pokemon of sorts!" Thorn piped up. "I saw one before; they use electricity to attack! They're kinda scary, actually...but if it's with us, I'm fine!"
"That sounds interesting. Of course I'll let Shinx join us." Rizen nodded at Taya. Both Rose and Thorn seemed very excited at the thought of a new friend.
