A Trainer's Wish

Louis wanted to be strong so people would respect him. He was a bad-luck magnet because very unlucky (yet somewhat humorous) things always happened to him. His family believed his bad luck started when a flock of Murkrow flew into his bedroom at midnight. He tried became a Pokémon Trainer to become the champion, but it wasn't working out for him so far.

Whatever Louis tried to do, things went from bad to worse. First off, he overslept and was late for Professor Rowan. By the time he got to the lab, all the starters were taken and the only Pokémon left was an experimental Magikarp. After receiving some Poké Balls, he went to catch some more Pokémon at Lake Verity when his Magikarp suddenly popped out of its Ball and knocked Louis down where his Bag opened and 3 out of his 5 Poké Balls rolled away and fell into the lake. Then when he tried to catch a Bidoof, he tripped on his shoelaces while throwing his Poké Ball and he accidentally caught a second Magikarp who jumped out of the water and the Poké Ball sank to the bottom. After swimming down to retrieve the submerged Poké Ball, his first Magikarp popped out of its Ball, slapped Louis in the face with its tail, and swam away. People always considered him to be a disaster magnet.

After millions of other humorous mishaps and other bits of unlucky tales that we probably won't get to ever in your lifetime, Louis managed to hang on and actually earn the Oreburgh City Coal Badge and make it to Eterna City. His team now consisted of Magikarp, Budew, Kricketot, Drifloon (who kept pulling on him as if it was trying to drag him away) and a Psyduck (who he was tricked out of a Master Ball he found for.)

Louis was a bit discouraged though, he had lost 95% of his battles and it took him nearly a month to get that badge. He really didn't want to be a Trainer anymore. But Louis was never one to give up. He had been shoved to the floor by the hands of fate a thousand, no wait, ten thousand times and never gave up (even though he really wanted to at times.)

It was evening by the time he made it to Eterna City. The first thing he noticed when he first entered the city was that the streets were crawling with strange men in spacesuits. Then he noticed the one thing he was looking for, the bicycle shop. He went in and bought a bike for only 99,999 Poké. He had sold every item he had for the money. He then went outside and took his new bike for a ride on the Cycling Road. He had just made it halfway downhill when he was on a head-on collision with another biker. He swerved at the last second and crashed. He wasn't hurt but his new bike was smashed. He walked back to Eterna City upset because he sold everything to get that bike.

His bad luck continued when two strange men in spacesuits came up to him. "Hello kid," one of them said. "We're the Pokémon inspectors; we've come to check on your Pokémon to see if they're fit and strong. So, hand them over." Louis handed over all of his Poké Balls except for his Magikarp. The two men stared at them for a few seconds, and then started running with his Pokémon. "WAIT! STOP! THIEVES!" Louis yelled and gave chase, but the men had gotten away in the city's darkened streets. Louis held out his last Poké Ball which contained his Magikarp. "At least I still have you," he said. Suddenly a little girl came up to him, kicked him in the shin, grabbed the Poké Ball when he dropped it in the moment of pain, and ran off shouting, "YOU OWE ME 5000 POKÉ JENNY! I STOLE A KID'S POKÉMON!!!"

Louis in complete tears and he finally gave up. This was the worst thing that has happened to him so far and decided that being a Pokémon Trainer just wasn't his destiny. He turned around and headed back into the Eterna Forest, heading for home. It was nighttime and the stars were out. Louis looked up to see a shooting star flying over his head. "I wish I was strong," he said and closed his eyes to wish. "I want to be powerful, and I want my bad luck streak to end," he wished. He opened his eyes and sighed. There was no way his wish would come true. He set up camp, crawled into his sleeping bag, and went to sleep.
    
Unknown to Louis, the shooting star was the legendary Pokémon Jirachi, who had awoken a bit early from its 1000 year slumber. Taking pity on the sleeping human, it began to use its mystical wishing powers. "So you want to be powerful and strong?" Jirachi said to itself, "Well I know just what to do…"   

A few hours later Louis opened his eyes. The campfire was dim but the stars lit up the night. He was still sleepy, but the sight of his hand woke him up instantly. His hands were covered with black fur. He sat up and stared in amazement as his hands changed into paws and a spike grew out of the back of each one. Blue fur grew up his arm until it reached his shoulders. A spike grew out of his chest and tore his shirt off, where a cream-yellow fur had grown all over his chest. Louis was too shocked at what was happening to say anything. He stood up and his shorts dropped as a bump formed above his butt. He tried to bend over to pull up his shorts when his shoes burst off and his feet turned into paws and his weight was centered at the balls of his feet. He staggered and fell on his face. Then the bump extended and formed into a blue, long and powerful tail. He got up and found that his new tail was helping him balance on his feet. He remembered he was half naked but saw that more blue fur grew around his legs, like a pair of furry blue shorts.

Louis ran to a lake and stared at himself just in time to see his face push out and more blue fur was growing on his face. His teeth sharpened into fangs and his tongue grew a little. His ears were pointier and were moving to the top of his head. Black fur started to grow around his eyes, the middle of his head and down to his nose, meeting at the back of his head as his hair receded into his head. He shut his eyes and hoped that it was all a freakish nightmare. When he opened them, his saw his eyes changed from a chocolate brown to a scarlet red. Last but not least, four aura sensors grew from the back of his head. Louis was now a Lucario.

Louis stood there, staring at his reflection in the water, amazed at the impressive Pokémon that was staring at him. He looked at his paws and then his tail. He was fully aware what had happened but, it almost seemed like a dream. His senses had heightened and he was able to detect anything with aura. His human life was over along with his string of terrible luck. His wish came true. Using his sensors to see in the dark, Louis left his clothes, his bag and his stream of bad luck behind and ran into the forest, as a Pokémon, forever.

Three months later…

Louis sat in the grass eating an apple. Suddenly his aura sensors detected something, a group of human trainers. They caught a sight of the magnificent Lucario and ran towards him, Poké Balls in their hands. Louis gave a fanged smirk and ran through the woods. No one could ever catch him. He had the intelligence of a human with the body of a Lucario. After just ten minutes, he had slipped away. Louis decided to train his aura powers. He had mastered Aura Sphere in just a few weeks and also learned aura manipulation and telepathy. The only thing wrong with being a Pokémon was he was a bit lonely. "I wish I had someone to keep me company," thought Louis.

Suddenly, he heard a rustling in the bushes. Getting into his battle stance, he saw a girl (about his human age) running towards him. "Please help me!" she said, as two Galactic Grunts chased her. Louis gathered his energy, and blasted them with an Aura Sphere and chased them away. "Are you okay?" he asked through telepathy. "Yes," she said. "Thank you, my name is Samantha. I was running away from home when those two chased me after my Clefairy. I managed to get away." She started crying, "I wish my life was different. I want to live away from everyone else." Louis thought for a moment, and hatched an idea. "Do you want to join me," he asked. Samantha thought for a moment and slowly said, "Yes."

Louis held Samantha's hands and started to manipulate her aura. Her face pushed out, she grew blue and black fur, a tail sprouted out, and her hands and feet turned into paws. Louis turned Samantha into a Lucario. She was surprised at first with her new body, but soon she began to look amazed. "Thank you so much Mister, I'm so sorry I forgot to ask you what your name was." Louis smiled "My name is Louis, and I hope you're ready for the ride of your new life." Samantha leaned over and kissed Louis, and together they wandered into the deep forest, awaiting their next adventure.
