(GiantessUniverse)
It was a dark, quiet night. The only sounds were those of the wild Hoothoots
who studied the dark woods with their big, red eyes. Ilex Forest was always
densely populated with Pokemon. Misty lay awake, staring up at the dense leaves
that completely covered the night sky. Misty had always been able to sleep if
she could see the stars, and their absence made it impossible for her to rest
peacefully. She constantly turned in her sleeping bag, but it was useless.
Giving up, she decided to go for a walk. She extricated herself from her
sleeping bag and set off into the depths of the dark woods. It was not a
relaxing stroll at all. The red eyes of Hoothoots penetrated the dark woods like
light bulbs, watching the slightly scared Misty as she climbed over several
fallen trees and over slightly repulsive-looking plants. As Misty considered
going back to the campsite, a wild Ratatta suddenly shot out from behind a
rather large boulder, and sank it's teeth into Misty's leg.
"Ow! Get off of me!" she screamed furiously, shaking her leg violently, but the
insane Ratatta would not detatch itself from Misty's leg.
In desperation Misty flung her leg close to the boulder behind which the Pokemon
had been hiding, and the wild Ratatta hit the boulder and flew off of Misty's
leg and landed on the ground, motionless. Misty was in complete shock. Looking
down at her leg, she was even more shocked to see the bitewound heal instantly.
Seemingly unharmed, Misty then turned her attention to the corpse of the Ratatta
that had attacked her. It did not look like an ordinary Ratatta. It's eyes were
a very dark red, and it's purple fur was much darker than it usually was. At
that moment a wild Hoothoot flew from the dark tree it had been hiding in, and
began to peck the rodent's corpse. Still in deep shock, Misty made her way back
to the campsite, moved her sleeping bag into the tent, and after a few hours
managed to sleep.
In what seemed like seconds later Misty awoke inside of the tent, which was
flooded with light. She checked the clock/radio beside her sleeping bag. It was
9:36AM. Exiting the tent, Misty got up and stretched, yawning loudly, and went
over to the nearby lake to get a drink of water, and noticed something very
strange. Her reflection in the water had two catlike ears protruding from her
head. They were the same color as her hair. But that couldn't be right, Misty
thought, how could she have grown cat ears? She ran her fingers through her
hair, confident that the cat ears that her reflection had were simply a
hallucination caused by her lack of sleep. However, as she had dreaded, Misty's
fingers were halted by what felt like two catlike ears.
"No," she muttered to herself, staring at her reflection in shock as she pulled
the cat ears slightly with her hands, just to be sure they were real, "this
can't be real, this is a dream, it has to be!"
But as she continued feeling the catlike ears with her hands, Misty noticed
something else in her reflection, something that turned her blood into ice. In
her reflection in the water, a sort of furry red rope was sticking up behind
her, curling itself slightly. She didn't have a-a TAIL?! Misty was now in a
state of complete disbelief. She held the tail in her hands, squeezing it
slightly. Misty was now in a state of complete panic.
"What-what happened to me?!" she yelled, jumping back from the lake. "How did
this happen?! Oh no, I need to get to a doctor-"
Misty suddenly stopped abruptly. She had just noticed something that was the
strangest of all. Everything around her, everything, had gotten much smaller.
But the whole planet couldn't have just suddenly shrunk, Misty realized. But
that would have to mean that she had gotten bigger...tripled in size, at the
very least...but how?!
"This is really bad..."Misty said to herself, staring at her gigantic form in
shock. "I need to find a way to stop this, and FAST!"
"Misty?!" someone said suddenly. "What's going on?!"
Looking down, Misty found that her outbreak had abruptly awoken Ash and Brock,
who were now staring up at their giant friend in complete disbelief.
"I-I don't know..." Misty stammered, "I-I just woke up like this and-and then I
started growing! Wait!" she said suddenly, a look of understanding dawning on
her face. "Maybe it's that bite I got that's making me grow like this! It must
have given me some weird disease..."
"Wait, back up." Ash said suddenly. "When did a Pokemon bite you?"
"Last night, while I was going for a walk. It bit me in the leg."
"I don't see any bitewound," Ash said, staring at Misty's gigantic legs.
"Well, I don't know why, but it healed really fast."
"Okay," Brock cut in, "Misty, I think the first thing we should do is get you to
a doctor."
"Why?" she asked him.
"WHY?! WE HAVE TO FIND SOME KIND OF CURE FOR THIS!"
"But-but what if I don't WANT the cure?" Misty said suddenly, giggling a little.
"Misty," Ash sighed, "whether you want the cure or not, you have to have it. I
mean, how can you live like this?!"
"Well, it's not too bad." Misty said, more to herself than to Ash. "Why let this
go to waste? I should at least have a little fun with my new size."
"Misty, I think that disease is starting to mess with your head!" Brock said
quickly. " You need to be cured, and you know it!"
"No, I don't," Misty said, giggling again. "I'm beginning to enjoy being this
big. I'm not letting either of you take my new gift away! In fact," Misty stood
up, smiling fiendishly, "I think I'll have a little fun in Goldenrod first! But
I can't have too much fun at my current size-"
Suddenly Misty grew bigger, now almost 40 feet tall.
"Much better!" The giantess said happily, grinning again. "So long, boys!"
And with that, she began to make her way through the Ilex Forest, heading
straight for the city of Goldenrod.
"Misty, NO!"
As Misty continued to walk through the Ilex Forest as though the trees were
nothing more than weeds, Ash turned to Brock, who was still staring at Misty as
though he could not believe what had just happened.
"C'mon!" Ash yelled at Brock, who immediatly came back to his senses. "We've got
to stop her!"
The two ran after their gigantic friend, following the trail of broken trees,
crushed Pokemon corpses, and footprints the size of mattresses. Eventually they
arrived at Goldenrod City, but they were too late- Misty had already done quite
a bit of damage. The Radio Station was on it's side, and several buildings,
including the Pokemon Healing Center, the Bike Shop, and the Market were nothing
but rubble. Worst of all, Misty was now three times bigger, at least 120 feet
tall. People were fleeing in all directions as Misty placed her gigantic foot
upon the Shopping Center, and crushed it to dust. As she stepped off of the
rubble, Ash heard a familiar voice calling out his name.
"Ash! Brock! Over here!"
Suddenly Ash spotted Professor Oak, sticking his head out of the entrance to the
subway station. Ash and Brock dashed into the station. It was much different.
There were tables everywhere, upon which sat microscopes, goggles, chemistry
tools, and other stuff that Ash didn't recognize. It looked like it had been
converted into a temporary lab.
"Good, you're safe." Professor Oak said exaspiratedly, walking up to them. "As
you may have guessed, I have a few questions for you. First of all, why is your
friend attacking the city?"
"Wait, Professor, what are you doing here?"
"I was recruited to help develop an antidote to cure your friend. Anyway-"
"But why are you using this place as your lab?"
"Because it's underground, so it's safe from harm, and we can travel to other
cities and back while avoiding your friend Misty, who I have a few questions
about, as you may have guessed. How did this happen?"
After Ash and Brock explained Misty's growth spurt and change of personality
while in Ilex Forest, Professor Oak looked a little puzzled.
"You said that she claimed to be bitten by a sick Pokemon?"
"Yes, Professor."
"And she also claimed that the wound healed instantly?"
"Yes. Professor, what's happened to her?"
The professor thought for a moment, then sighed.
"I'm afraid that she has caught a disease known as SizoMatus. It allows the host
to alter the size of themselves and their surroundings, while amplifying certain
traits of their personality. The ears and tail are just side effects."
"So, what do we do?" Ash asked.
"We need to prepare an antidote, which will take about 12 hours. By that time
Misty will be asleep, and someone should be able to insert the antidote into her
mouth."
"But the entire city could be in ruins by then!" Ash cried out. "We can't wait
that long!"
"I'm afraid that we don't have a choice." Professor Oak said sadly.
So they waited. Miraculously Misty had only managed to obliterate about half of
Goldenrod City, and was now sleeping on the wreckage. Military forces had given
up on actually hurting the giantess, seeing as all of their attempts to do so
had either failed or resulted in the loss of several soldiers and tanks. Misty
was now 370 feet tall. The antidote was finally ready, and Ash had agreed to
climb onto Mistys face and throw the antidote into her mouth. The antidote
wasn't that big, about the size and shape of a soda can. Ash approached the
sleeping Misty. Ash knew what he had to do. He had to get onto Misty's chest,
then climb onto her chin in order to reach her mouth. Only one question
remained- how was he going to reach her chest? He needed to climb up something
like a wall, something that he could easily grip. Suddenly, with a jolt of
horror, Ash realized that only one part of Misty's body fit that description:
the soles of her feet. This was NOT something Ash was looking foward to, but he
knew that he didn't have a choice. So, hesitating, Ash approached Misty's soles,
and began to climb them. The smell was horrible: Ash felt like he could have
been knocked out by the stench, but he continued to climb Misty's feet. It took
about 10 minutes, but eventually Ash climbed onto the space right betweek
Misty's toes: the smell was even worse there, but now that his hands were free
Ash held his nose, jumped, and slid down onto Misty's leg. Thankful to be away
from her feet, Ash made his way across Misty's left leg and across her chest,
eventually climbing onto Misty's chin. The journey across the leg and chest felt
as though it took at least an hour. Ash approached Misty's open mouth, took the
antidote out of his bag, and threw it into her mouth. Suddenly Misty took in a
deep breath, and Ash lost his balance and fell into her mouth. As he slipped
down the tongue Ash felt several tiny hairs slide across his body. He became
drenched in saliva, and fell into the throat. Ash cried out for help, but nobody
could hear him, and suddenly, he hit a very soft, slimy floor, and everything
went black. Meanwhile, as the tiny capsule hit the floor, and bounced into
Misty's stomach acid, Misty immediately shrunk back to normal size, and sat bolt
upright, wide awake. Feeling the top of her head, she realized that her
Pokemon-like ears were gone. She felt her lower back, and her tail had also
disappeared.
"I can't believe it!" she muttered, staring at her hands. "I'm back to normal!"
As the realization of what she had just said hit her, an incredible happiness
spread throughout her entire body.
"I'M BACK TO NORMAL!" she shouted excitedly, standing up and smiling
delightedly, "I'M BACK TO NOR-!"
She stopped suddenly, noticing the wreckage that she was standing on. The smile
melted away, and was replaced with a frown.
"Where am I? Wait-did I do this?"
Looking around, she saw the many ruined buildings and crushed corpses of the
citizens and some Pokemon. Her blood turned to ice.
"Now I remember..." she said miserably, sitting down on the remains of the
buiding. "I DID do this. That disease made me do this. It made me destroy half
of the city! Oh no, what have I done! Thousands of people are dead because of
me!"
"Technically, my dear," said a familiar voice from behind her," thousands of
people are dead because of the disease you caught."
Misty turned around, and found Professor Oak and Brock walking up to her.
Incredibly, Professor Oak was smiling.
"He's right, Misty," Brock said to her, "you weren't yourself. None of this is
your fault!"
"But the disease used ME to destroy half of Goldenrod City!" Misty cried, "I
must have killed thousands of people!"
"That doesn't make this your fault. The important thing is that you're cured.
Now, let's get you to your sister's house. You need rest."
As Misty set off with the other two, Ash lay in her stomach, still unconscious.
Ash opened his eyes.
"Wha-where am I?"
He got up, and stared around at the room. He appeared to be in a very big cave.
The walls, which were dripping with water, were kind of a reddish-pink color. It
was suprisingly hot for a cave. Looking down, Ash jumped back in shock. There
was a huge lake in the cave, and it was no ordinary lake. It was filled with a
lime-colored, boiling liquid that looked almost like...acid. Ash could not
believe his eyes: what kind of cave had a lake of ACID? And how did he get
there? He was nowhere near a cave when passed out. Suddenly, Ash remembered
falling into Misty's mouth, and with a jolt of horror, realized that this was
NOT a cave: it was Misty's stomach. He was still in Misty's body...then he
realized something else. He must have been unconscious for hours, and that had
to mean that the antidote had taken affect and cured Misty, which had to mean
that she was normal-sized. But then why was he so tiny? Deciding he'd better
worry about that later, Ash began to search Misty's stomach for an exit, when,
suddenly, he spotted a strange white gooey substance in the shape of a door. Ash
walked up to it, and stared at it. What was this stuff? Was it an exit? Or was
it some kind of digestive substance? Either way, it was his only hope of getting
out of here, so Ash stepped through the substance, and found himself in another
room.
This room was incredibly bizarre. The walls were made up of long, pink, twisting
tubes that were at least a foot thick. Strange, gooey doors like the one Ash had
stepped through were everywhere. Strange creatures were constantly entering and
exiting the doors. They were shaped like humans, but they had no faces, and they
were made up of a clear liquid substance. Deciding that they may be able to help
him, Ash walked up to one of the creatures.
"Hey, where am I?" Ash asked the creature, but it completely ignored him and
continued walking.
"Hey!" Ash called after the creature. "Come back! I need help!"
"They will not respond." said a voice from out of nowhere. Ash turned, staring
around in search of the person who spoke.
"You will not find me." The voice said. "I am this entire room. I am the central
control system. And those creatures are electrical messengers. They have no
minds, they simply carry information."
"Okay," Ash said, now slightly creeped out. "What are those?" he asked, pointing
to the gooey, door-like structures.
"Those are neural transmitters. They convert messages from the brain into
electrical signals."
"Um...okay. How do I get out of here?"
"You may not leave." The voice said sharply.
"Why not?"
"You have been identified as a virus. Activing white blood cell distribution."
"Wait-what?"
Suddenly, white creatures appeared out of nowhere, surrounding Ash. Strangely
enough, they all looked exactly like Misty, except they were white-literally.
"What?! No! Please, I'm not a virus!" Ash yelled desperately. "I'm human, this
was just an accident!"
"You cannot fool me, virus." The voice said sharply.
The white blood cells closed in on Ash. In desperation he forced his way out of
the circle of white blood cells, and fled into a random neural transmitter, and
found himself in a very strange room. He was floating, almost as though there
was no gravity in here. There was something else: after every few seconds, the
room expanded slightly, then shrank back to it's normal size. I must be in the
lung, Ash thought to himself. Then just as he was considering what to do, Ash
spotted several white blood cells entering the lung through several different
neural transmitters. They were closing in on him. Ash desperately fled into yet
another neural transmitter, and found himself pressed against a very soft
surface by some sort of white fabric. The smell was horrible, but it smelled
familiar, exactly like- Misty's feet. But- -how? Suddenly Ash realized something
else: he was drenched in sweat, but not his own. It was Misty's sweat. He had
gone through the sweat gland and winded up in Misty's sock! Although glad to
have escaped Misty's body, Ash wasn't exactly thrilled about where he had come
out. The last time he was this close to Misty's feet, he felt as though he would
pass out. If he didn't get out if Misty's sock soon, he might pass out again,
and he couldn't let that happen. Luckily Misty, who was relaxing on her bed at
her sister's house, felt something moving in her sock, took it off, and emptied
the microscopic Ash into her hand.
"Ash?" she said, shocked. "What-how did you wind up in my sock? And how did you
get so small?!"
After Ash explained everything to Misty, she called Professor Oak, while Ash sat
in her lap, waiting.
"Okay," she said cautiously, putting the phone back on the receiver. "Professor
Oak says that you shrunk because you were so close to the antidote when it took
effect, and that you'll return to normal size in about a day."
"Great." Ash said irritably. "So I'm stuck like this for 24 hours."
Misty picked Ash up, and held him in the palm of her hand.
"Hey, it could be worse." she pointed out to him. "I mean, you could be stuck
like this forever."
"But how am I supposed to survive like this for a whole day?"
"You survived being trapped in my body," Misty pointed out. "And you were being
chased by an army of white blood cells."
"Yeah, but I almost died." Ash pointed out. "Out here, I could get stepped on in
less than five minutes."
At this point Misty picked Ash up by the shirt, and lifted him up so that they
were face-to-face. She looked irritated.
"Look, quit being a baby!" she snapped "I'll just keep you with me so that I
make sure you're safe, and the next day this'll all be over."
"I guess you're right," Ash sighed. "Thanks, Misty."
"No problem," Misty said, smiling a little.
"So, did I miss anything?" Ash asked
"Not really. After you fell into my body I returned to normal, and Professor Oak
and Brock took me to my sister's house so that I could rest. Thanks, by the way"
she added.
"Thanks for what?"
Misty laughed a little.
"For curing me, you idiot! You were brave enough to climb up on my face, and if
I had seen you I probably would have crushed you. You took a big risk just to
cure me."
"I'm your friend, Misty. You were in trouble, so I helped you. That's what
friends do."
"Still, you could have died." Misty pointed out.
"I know, but I didn't, did I?"
"I guess you're right. I'm just glad you're okay. By the way, what was it like?"
"What was what like?"
"Being in my body."
"Um..." Ash didn't want to offend Misty, espically not at his
size"...exciting(?)"
"Yeah, but..how?"
At that point Ash quickly changed the subject. The next day, Ash, who was
normal-sized again, set off with Misty and Brock for Ecuteak City, mainly
because Misty was too embarrassed to return to Goldenrod City, at least for a
while. As they set off for Ecuteak City, Ash thought to himself that if Misty
had ever gotten those size-alteration powers again, things might be much worse
than this time.
