Alex was stunned. He has just woken up from a nightmare in which Arceus transformed him into an Absol. Now, staring at his hand which is now a three-clawed paw covered in white fur, Alex realizes that it wasn't just a dream. Arceus has somehow transformed Alex into an absol.

"This isn't happening. This isn't happening!", Alex repeated over and over as he continued to stare at his paw. He then jumped out of his bed and tried to run to his bathroom. However, do to him never walking on all fours before, he fell forward on his first attempt to run. He got back up an stumbled all the way to his bathroom, still repeating himself out of denial. He then held himself up on the counter his fore paws and stared into the mirror. Instead of the normal human boy with dark, curly hair and brown eyes looking at him, Alex was staring at the face of a frightened absol.

"No. No, this isn't true. This is impossible!", Alex yelled at the top of his lungs. He immediately ran out of the bathroom and, out of pure fear and adrenaline, smashed through the window in his living room. He continued running through his back yard and into the forest nearby. He continued running, not caring what happened back in his neighborhood after his neighbors heard his window break. He just wanted to get the hell out of there.

Alex continued to run, still stumbling every now and then. He didn't know how long he's been running, or how far away he his from his house. He was still frightened about his transformation. Suddenly, Alex felt a jolt pain as something bit into his right hind leg. He screamed from the pain, then looked back to see a bear trap biting into his leg. He tried to pull his leg free from the trap, but the trap was chained to a metal stake in the ground and it only caused him more pain as the metal teeth dug deeper into his flesh.

"Well, what d we have here?", a voice suddenly said from a few yards away.  Alex suddenly went silent as he looked in the direction the voice came from. Standing a good distance away was a man holding a large hunting knife. "Hey Mac! We got another one here."

"That's the third one this week. Looks like business is good for us", spoke a man appeared from behind a tree behind the first man. Unlike the first one, this guy was much larger and carried a machete instead. Alex could tell at first glance that these two were poachers.

Alex panicked and pleaded to the poachers "Please! Let me go! I'm not an absol. I'm not an absol!"

"Sounds like he's trying to tell us something", spoke the first poacher with the knife. To the poachers, all that came out of Alex's mouth were roars and growls.

"I wouldn't be surprised if it were asking us to let it go", spoke the poacher who was referred to as Mac.

"THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING! PLEASE LET ME GO!!!", Alex yelled at the top of his lungs.

"We could let it go," the first poacher started to say, "but even if we did, it wouldn't get very far on that leg." He then pointed to Alex's leg, the bear trap still biting into it.

Mac then laughed, "In that case, why don't we do it a favor and put it out of its misery. Besides, its horn and tail are pretty good size. They'll sell real well."

The poachers began walking towards Alex, their weapons ready. Alex could do nothing but watch as they came closure. He tried to run, but the trap refused to let him go. Tears started pouring down his face as he tried to pull free.

"Don't worry. It'll all be over soon", Mac said with an evil grin. He then raised the machete over his head, ready to cut Alex down in one blow. Alex closed his eyes, waiting for his imminent demise.

"GAAAH!!!"

Alex quickly opened his eyes to see what happened. Something fast had struck the ground between Alex and the poachers, causing an explosion that blasted them back. Something then stepped between him and the dazed poachers. Though it had its back to Alex, he could clearly see the white fur covering its body, the bladed tail jutting from its backside, and the bladed horn sticking out from the right side of its head.

"Are you alright?", the mysterious absol asked with a very masculine voice. When he turned his head to him, Alex could see that he had a large scar over his right eye, which was closed shut. The absol then looked to his left and spoke, "Elina. Remove that infernal contraption from his leg and get him out of hear."

Alex suddenly heard a female voice not far to his right, "I'm on it, brother." Alex quickly looked to his right and saw a female absol running towards him. "Don't worry. I'll get you out of here", she said in a calm yet hurried voice that slightly calmed Alex down. She then pressed her right paw onto a pedal on the trap with a little force, causing the trap to release its painful grip on Alex's leg. "Come on! Let's go!", she urged him as she ran towards an almost unnoticeable trail. Alex followed her as fast as he could, away from the two poachers.

"GET BACK HERE!!!", yelled Mac as he got back up on his feet. He then yelled at his partner, "Get up you idiot! They're gonna get away!"

The male absol then returned his gaze to the two poachers, "I don't think so."

He quickly struck the two poachers with Sucker Punch, knocking them out cold. After double checking to make sure they were unconscious, he turned an ran in the direction that his sister had taken the injured absol.


Alex could feel nothing but pain in his right hind leg as he ran after the female absol. He endured it, however, wanting nothing more than to get as far away Mac and his partner. When he thought he would die from having to run on an injured leg for what seemed like an eternity, he heard the female absol speak,

"Okay. We're safe for now. We can stop and rest."

Alex, hearing what she said, immediately collapsed onto the ground from both exhaustion and pain.

"oh dear!"

"What happened?"

Elina turned and saw her brother approaching.

"He collapsed! He really needs help!", she told her brother.

"I see. Unfortunately, we can't do anything right now. There might still be poachers around." The absol then shoved his head under Alex's body, then lifted it until Alex fell onto his back. "We need to get him back to the pack. He'll be safe with us. Until then, we'll have to keep moving. He's vulnerable to attack in his current condition." He then looked at the sun's position and thought to himself. He then looked over at his sister, "Let's get going. If we keep moving, we may get to the pack by sundown."

He then turned to the North and began walking at a rapid pace. Elina followed closely behind, praying to Arceus to protect them until they got home. She then prayed that the injured absol would be okay.
Finally got around to making the second chapter to my absol story. I couldn't think of a good title for this one. I also had a little trouble thinking of a proper word to refer to a large group of absol. Only two words came to mind, 'pack' and 'herd'. I went with pack since herd sounds like something that refers to Tauros and Miltank. Anyways, hope you enjoy it and please comment. Thanks.

I thought the South Park reference was that where that kid says SUCK MY BALLS MR GARRISON.
Or something along those lines.
