This is a 3-part flash fiction prequel to Out-Of-Sorts (WIP).
Part 1- The Escape
“You have to leave,” the ditto said. It looked pale compared to other ditto. It wore a dress that had a hole in the center of it. “You have to, Dvalitsa.”
The little human-like ditto glanced at her. “But, I can’t leave without you, Mom.”
“I’m sick. Ditto aren’t supposed to give birth to other ditto. It’s not natural. It kills us. I’m sorry, baby, but you have to go. I don’t want this to happen to you, too.”
Dvalitsa started to weep. “But, Mom-”
“Sweetheart.” She whispered softly. “I love you.” Her voice quivered a bit, and suddenly she jerked back. She slowly turned back into the soft pile of sludge ditto are made of.
She was dead.
Dvalitsa shook her, trying to wake her back up. “MOM! MOM! WAKE UP, MOM!” When she wouldn’t wake up, Dvalitsa finally shifted into a Caterpie. The “caterpie” crawled out of the cage it called home and shifted back into a human. It would know its human form forever. He ran away from the lab testing site, crying all the way. When a scientist stopped him, he told her he lost his mom. This, of course, wasn’t entirely a lie.
The scientist, though confused at how Dvalitsa managed to get in the lab, led the way out. “The name’s Steph,” the scientist whispered. “Take this.” She gently handed him a purple egg. “Tell nobody I gave you this, or I’ll be fired. Okay? Now go and be a trainer.”
When Dvalitsa made it out of the facility, he stared at the egg that Steph gave him. What could it be? Was it a Gastly? Mawile? Who knew?
