**Transformation into Gardevoir**

You never thought your day would turn out like this. Standing in your room, scrolling through countless websites, you suddenly feel a dull pulse racing through your body. Without warning, your muscles contract, your mind fogs, and a chilling sensation runs down your spine. Collapsing to the floor, you clutch your chest, the world around you dissolving, morphing into a swirling vortex of colors and sounds. “What’s happening to me?!” you manage to gasp before another wave of discomfort overwhelms you. Your height begins to reduce, your bones shifting and compressing, your limbs elongate, becoming slender and delicate. You glance at your hands, now covered in pale green skin growing to match the hue of your new hair that cascades down your back in fine strands. Your clothes morph into an elegant white gown from which your new body shape emerges. Trying to stand, you realize that your once sturdy legs have transformed into graceful, finely pointed white limbs without feet, resembling what you’d expect from a Pokémon, specifically a Gardevoir. You feel around your chest and back; a strange, horn-like blade protrudes both ways. A quick glance in the mirror confirms your horror: your face is almost completely obscured by the green ‘hair’, except for your large pink eyes. “No! This can’t be happening. I can't... be...” you attempt to scream, but the foreign sound of your new voice shocks you into silence. “Garde-void?” you hear yourself say, your panic rising as your speech is replaced with the anagrations of the word “Gardevoir.” You try again to call for help, but once more your words falter, “Gar... Gardevoir!” Memories and thoughts flood your mind, those of a Gardevoir. Names of trainers, battles, the sense of duty to protect. The fear of strangers, the maternal instincts towards young Kirlia and Ralts—these feelings, so alien yet deeply embedded, begin to dominate your consciousness. Who was I? The question grows fainter as you struggle to maintain a grip on your humanity. You remember vague details—an old room, your reflection as a human, a life that no longer makes sense in this evolving reality. In place of your modern room now stands a lush, verdant forest, filled with the sounds of wild Pokémon. Trembling, you step forward, realizing with every movement how different your body feels. Yet, there is no awkwardness, only an elegant grace that defines the essence of your new form. You encounter another Pokémon, a small Ralts. Instincts take over; you gently lean down, understanding their emotions, comforting them with a sense of familiarity and motherly care. “Gardevoir…” you say softly, reassuringly. The Ralts looks up at you, eyes filled with trust. Protect them at all costs, you think, or is it a memory? Your human consciousness fades, subsiding under the gentle, powerful spirit of a Gardevoir. You sense the future not with dread, but with acceptance. Somewhere in your replaced memories, you catch glimpses of a dedicated trainer whom you are swirlingly loyal to, even ready to sacrifice yourself. The more you try to recall your old life, the weaker those attempts become until finally, they vanish, replaced entirely by your existence as a Gardevoir. All you remember, all you feel, all that you are, is a guardian, a protector, a Pokémon in its truest form. And so, among the whispering trees and the world of Pokémon, your journey continues, no longer as the human you once were, but as a Gardevoir, a protector, with a heart filled with loyalty, compassion, and courage.
