บท 30: Chapter 30: Miku
Zorua looked up at Heath, its eyes like a deep pool of water, and then twisted its paw.
"Hmph, human, though I'm not keen on traveling with you, I'll reluctantly agree since you saved me today," Zorua said, lifting its right front paw.
Heath was momentarily stunned. What did Zorua mean? Was it asking him to shake its paw?
Thinking this, Heath reached out and grasped Zorua's paw, but before he could say anything, Zorua flipped its paw over and placed it on Heath's hand.
"Hmph, this is proof of our unbreakable bond. From now on, you are my partner," Zorua said solemnly. Heath stared at Zorua in confusion before realizing what it meant.
"Wait, that line... Have you read Arceus's Creation Journey?" Heath asked curiously. He remembered that line from a fantasy novel.
In the Pokémon world, there were novels and writers, and the most popular ones featured various Pokémon, with Arceus often appearing. However, Heath recalled that Arceus's Creation Journey was a bit unconventional, ending with the protagonist dueling a human form of Arceus. That's when Heath realized the author wrote yaoi.
"Huh? How do you know that? Have you read it too?" Zorua looked at Heath in surprise, its small fox face filled with disbelief.
Heath scratched his head, surprised that Zorua liked that kind of story. Then he wondered if Zorua was male or female.
When Heath asked this, Zorua scratched his face, but luckily without extending its claws, so Heath didn't have to worry about a scar.
"Of course I'm female!" Zorua huffed angrily. Heath smiled awkwardly—so Zorua was a girl.
"By the way, Zorua, can your illusion technique transform into any creature?" Heath asked, knowing Zorua's illusion abilities were impressive.
"No, I can't transform into creatures I haven't seen. If I try, the result will be strange and likely fail," Zorua replied, lounging comfortably on Heath's bed.
Heath's mind raced with ideas—like Vocaloid's Hatsune Miku and various rotating anime waifus. But looking at Zorua's blue ears, a bold thought struck him.
"Zorua, can you transform into that little girl but keep your ears and tail?" Heath asked eagerly. He admitted it was a bit creepy, but who could resist a catgirl? Or rather, a foxgirl?
"Like this?" Zorua's form blurred, and soon, a little girl with Zorua's ears and tail appeared on Heath's bed. She curiously examined her hands and ears before looking at Heath.
Heath covered his face with his hands, rubbing it, and took a deep breath. At that moment, he felt Zorua was a divine gift. With Zorua, anyone's ideal could be realized.
Looking at the adorable Zorua, Heath felt he had achieved a life goal. The dream of commanding his cat to transform was now a reality.
"You humans are so weird. It's just ears and a tail," Zorua said, pouting and adjusting her clothes, which captivated Heath's attention.
At that moment, Heath wondered if Zorua's human form could replicate...
"Heath, I just heard from Nurse Joy—" Maple burst into the room, stopping mid-sentence as she saw Heath and Zorua.
Maple stood in shock before silently closing the door. Heath's mind went blank, and as soon as the door shut, he dashed after her, catching her before she could leave.
"Sister Maple, you misunderstood!" Heath exclaimed. The scene had looked like he was luring a little girl.
"So, what did I misunderstand?" Maple asked, giving him a strange look. Heath quickly explained Zorua's situation.
"Such a Pokémon exists? That's incredible," Maple said after Heath's lengthy explanation and a demonstration of Zorua's illusion. She finally believed him.
Heath sighed in relief, glad Maple put away her handcuffs. He feared being the first trainer jailed because of his own Pokémon.
"Since it's your partner now, take good care of it," Maple said, patting Heath's shoulder. She had nearly restrained him when she saw the girl in his room. Thankfully, Heath clarified everything, or Maple would have had a tough decision regarding her brother.
Watching Maple leave, Heath sighed in relief and returned to his room with Zorua.
"You humans are strange. Is that woman your sister?" Zorua asked, yawning on Heath's bed.
Heath found it odd that Zorua had claimed his bed, but he didn't mind. It was like owning a cat that sometimes jumped on the bed to sleep with its owner. Zorua, despite being a fox, had no unpleasant odor and smelled faintly of flowers.
Thinking this, Heath naturally lay on the bed, only to regret it as Zorua's form shifted.
A fox-eared little girl lay beside him.
