The forest was quiet, the only sound being the occasional murmur of a breeze wafting through the trees. The moonlight danced across the still waters of the pond, little marine pokemon sleeping beneath the waters. A family of Surskit sleeping calmly next to the water. The lush grass flicked side to side as the wind breezed through the grass in small gusts, tickling the soft face of the resting teen. His brown hair was spread out on the ground in a messy pattern, spreading out into odd formations, tangling up in the grass. His motuh was closed tightly, directly beneath a gently sloping nose and two closed eyes. His white long-sleeve shirt reflected the moonlight well, making his arms clearly visible in the forest. His dark green short sleeve jacket blended in well with the surrounding grass, making his arms look like two fallen birch branches. His dark blue jeans were hard to pick out in the darkness, but if one looked hard enough, they could see his jeans leading to two black skate shoes.
A quiet rustle woke the gently sleeping teen, and his deep green eyes snapped open. He jolted upwards, quickly surveying his surroundings. A breeze passed through a group of leaves, and Kalseng turned quickly to catch the leaves rustling gently. Kalseng looked around with baited breath, trying to effectively calm himself. A noise came from the underbrush, and Kalseng scrambled to his feet. Thin arms moved cautiously, each cautiously preparing for two different attacks. The one on the right focused his tightly wound anxiety into a small flame of energy, readying a will-o-wisp attack, while the other focused on creating a space for him to Teleport to if things got heavy.
A black and grey blur shot out from behind a bosh, open jaws aimed straight for Kalseng's arms. A white glow quickly enveloped Kalseng and vanished, the pokemon's powerful jaws locking onto a bright wisp. Kalseng appeared on the other side of the lake in a flash of white light. When he finally got a good look at his opposition, he was intimidated. A wolf-like pokemon stood on the opposite "shore" and growled menacingly. The grey fur had a great luster, moonlight ominously dancing on its fur. A black streak ran from its ears down across its tail, also covering its paws and muzzle. Oddly enough, a large gun was strapped to its back, equipped with all the latest targeting technology. Its yellow eyes gleamed menacingly as it took a more offensive stance, poising itself for a long jump. Kalseng finally identified the pokemon as a Mightyena, just in time for it to make its lunge.
Kalseng pushed himself to the right, barely avoiding the sharp teeth of the incoming pokemon. He had thrown his right hand forward to balance himself, and it caught the side of the Mightyena. An eerie blue fame wrapped around the pokemon, leaving burns across the pokemon's side. Kalseng almost immediately regained his balance, and made a mad dash through the forest. The canine pokemon immediately began chasing him towards the next town, barking and growling as it neared its prey. It cringed and winced as its legs brushed up against the burn and skin painfully rubbed against itself, slowing its advance. Kalseng cursed quietly under his breath, and focused his energy on an upcoming leafy branch. His right hand glowed with an eerie aura, a similar aura engulfing a few of the leaves. The glow went from leaf to leaf as he approached, cautiously twitching his fingers to move the glow. As he passed the large tree, he furiously swung his arm backwards, and a flurry of leaves launched themselves at the Mightyena. The pokemon reeled backwards in pain as the leaves lodged themselves in the pokemon and soon went flaccid and limp, falling to the ground with blood covering the very tips of the leaves.
Kalseng took the distraction as an opportunity and used his teleportation technique to warp himself to the nearby town. A white light engulfed him, and he quickly appeared somewhere foreign, and he was off balance. He came to a stumbling stop between two aisles of seats, white wisps still circling around his entry point. Kalseng came to a rolling top before hitting the back of the train, and he rose upwards. Kalseng took a few painful movements and moved himself to a standing position, only to find the train conductor was glued to the back wall, his face white enough to rival that of a sheet of paper. Kalseng reached into his pocket and produced a small, electronic device that was about as thick as a finger and no longer than that of a pokedex. The device had a slim crevice along the front and two along every side. The top of the device slid open, and an electronic screen was displayed. It showed Kalseng's face next to a small symbol to the right of it.
"Kalseng Audor," He said between his deep breaths. "All-expense train pass." He explained before finding a nearby seat. He plopped down in it, and found himself sitting behind a person with some kind of tail. It poked out between the seat back and seat bottom, just exposing a small, chord-like tail. Kalseng leaned forward and whispered quietly. "Pokemorph?" He asked with a chuckle. "I've heard about you. Don't worry, I'm what they call a 'specialist'. I've got no interest in you other than a nice traveling companion." Kalseng smiled softly, his green eyes sparkling with interest.

The Royal struggled to his canine feet, trained eyes watching the specialist vanish with a teleport. His body shifted, his body undergoing massive change. His muzzle receded back into his face, hair retracting back into skin or changing color. Soon, a human stood upwards, a hand quietly inspecting his injuries. The hair on his head was a surprisingly normal blond color, relatively long in length, barely coming to his shoulders. His red eyes looked towards the wisps of white light in fury, and he pressed a hand to the com link in his ear.
"Subject fought back and vanished." His gravelly voice stated. "Should I pursue?"
"No, Daniel." A voice crackled in over the com link. "How bad are your injuries?" Daniel looked down at his bare body, burns running over his sides and up near his shoulder. A few minor cuts were scattered across his face and arms, but no major damage was done.
"Not very. Does this mean I should report to a healing station?" Daniel inquired.
"As soon as possible, yes." The voice responded. "Report to me once you have found the subject again."
"Yes sir." Daniel replied. He painfully staggered towards the nearest healing station, less than a mile away.
