"Huh? A tiny human." The monolithic Slowking spoke out loud. His voice is soft and kind but still booming to your small stature, and you can say for sure that the Pokemon is a male. "This is very peculiar... How did you get so small?"
"Well, I was just wading by the water, when a small purple needle stung me. I flicked it off, and... well you can see the results." You reply, highlighting your shrunken body. The Slowking thinks for a bit, yawns, and then gets an idea.
"A purple needle, right?" You nod, with Slowking releasing you from his psychic grasp and plopping you on to his hand. The red jewel on his head glows, as he closes his eyes and brings out his other hand. For a few instances nothing happens, until a small splash is heard from the body of water that Slowking was facing. There, floating above you, was the same needle that poked and shrunk you.
"Looks to be some chemical trash I remember a Team Rocket group dump here." The Slowking inspected, "I thought it was all cleaned out, but it looks like some were missed." He looks back at you with a frown. "I don't know how long the toxins will last for. It was only a poke, but even that can last from 48 hours to forever." FOREVER! Your heart skips a beat hearing that word. You don't want to be small forever, not when there's still so much of the world you want to see and explore.
"That's worst case scenario, of course." He must've sensed your fright, and quickly adds that. Though you can tell from the uncertainty in his voice he was just saying that to make you feel better. "I think it's best you stay with me for now, for you to stay safe after all."
You think on it for a second. The Slowking hasn't really hurt you in any way, and he has been very helpful to you. You can't really survive in the wilderness at your height anyways. "That would be great. Thank you." You nod your head in thanks, making Slowking smile again.
"There's no need to thank me." He smiles. "We should be heading to where I live. It's getting dark" With you in tow, the Slowking walks to something that looks like a makeshift hut. It looks pretty well structured, and you are quite surprised you didn't see it when you first got here.
Inside, it has a mattress that is made out of a soft leaf, and a stash of berries next to it. Slowking sits right on the mattress. Slowking...
