Gaining consciousness, the first thing I realized was that I wasn’t laying on my warm, comfy, bed. Moving my hands around, confusion became my primary emotion at touching what felt like dirt and grass. Opening my eyes slowly, I noticed I was in what seemed like a forest. Darkness surrounded me, but instead of panicking and going out of my way to make the situation worse, I instead forced myself to keep calm and try to remember how I got there.
The last thing I remember was going out with some friends and drinking up a storm. We were all celebrating the fact that we got into the same college, and upon having a few shots, my buddy and I began to talk.
Flashback
I had just received a letter in the mail that I was accepted into the college that I’ve been wanting to get into ever since my final year of high school. It was still the first summer since I graduated and I wanted to celebrate my success with a couple close friends, we had fake I.D’s so getting into a bar wasn’t something we couldn’t do. After a couple hours of drinking, my best friend Trev who I have known since childhood decided to tell me about the web novel community he’s been frequenting to read and the stories he’s read from a niche genre called, “Stories where women and men’s roles are reversed”.
“So you’re telling me that in those stories women act like men and men act like women?” I asked slowly.
“That’s right!” Trev responded leaning forward with a huge grin.
“...Isn’t that kinda gay?” I asked before sporting a smirk at Trev causing him to let out a sputter.
“How the hell is it gay!?” He exclaimed, offended.
“I mean it’s a world where dudes act like girls right? Doesn’t that mean they're wearing short shorts and doing things like having pillow fights and going on their stomachs to twirl their hair to talk about their crushes? Seems kinda…” I let that sentence trail off.
“No no my dear, dumb, stupid, idiotic, down right retarded friend.” Trev said with a shake of his head and a point of his finger.
“Well fuck you to.” I deadpanned.
“The whole point of the stories is that you’re STILL a guy with his memories of this world going into the new one! Everyone there is living their reality of normal, so if you start to exist there and start acting like the normal here, YOU would be the out of place one! I mean did you even really think of the positives before opening up that stupid mouth? Imagine it. Living in that world with your memories of here. Girls being as horny as the guys here wanting to sleep with you, them being the ones with all the pressure of spending money on you and keeping you safe and satisfied, having that constant pressure on their shoulders, them being the ones who have to cater to your emotions so you don’t go out and get with the next girl because the options are limitless, them wanting you to stay home and not work to take care of them as they go to make a living, them never having enough of touching and caressing you, your body a constant drug to them! You’re the gay one if you don’t want that type of lifestyle!” Raising his voice from a casual conversational volume to a downright preacher giving a sermon, I couldn’t help but slowly agree to what Trev was saying.
“You know what…I was being an idiot. That sounds damn amazing.” I conceded with a reluctant nod.
“Damn right. Now let's get out of here before it gets too late, I think Liam and Tom are waving for us to go.”
Agreeing to that, we both stood up, met up with our other friends and made our way out of the bar. Walking down the sidewalk, I watched as my three friends conversed with each other and I couldn’t help but let my mind wander back to my and Trev’s earlier conversation.
“A reversed world huh? Man if there’s something like an afterlife, I wouldn’t mind being sent into a world like that with my memories intact.” I thought to myself with a small grin.
However before I could expand on the thought, I heard a shout.
“KOAL, WATCH OUT!”
‘HONK HONK’
Then nothing.
Flashback End
Groaning at the headache I felt, I sat up and took in my surroundings more seriously.
As far as my eyes could see there were countless amounts of dense, giant trees. Dark as it was, the numerous amounts of bushes that were in my view that held different types of berries I have never seen in my life littered the forest almost like an all you can eat buffet.
“If you want to get poisoned.” I thought with some humor.
Tall grass occupying the ground almost entirely, I looked up at the sky only not to see stars or space, but dark, angry clouds that threatened to release its contents at any moment's notice. Standing up fully, I turned around to look behind me and saw some smoke with the telltale sign of an orange glow in the distance. Smiling in relief, I headed off in that direction.
Pushing past branches, I had to ignore the wince that wanted to appear on my face from the growing itchiness my ankles felt from making my way through the grass that came up to my knees. While my pants did go down far enough to sag onto the tops of my shoes, somehow the grass still made its way under. Spending what felt like five minutes walking in the direction of the light, I saw that I made it about half way. Just when I was feeling good about finding someone to help me, I heard a thunderclap and felt the instant downpour of rain.
“Damn it.” I thought, looking up at the sky as I covered my eyes. “This can’t get any wor-”
“SSSSSSS!”
Stilling at the noise, I turned around and paled. There, behind me, as if it was following my scent, was a larger than average, purple toned snake. Eyes yellow and narrowed in hunger, it raised its yellow rattle-like tip of its tail and began to shake it back and forth. Gulping in fear, I took a step back and then another, watching as it raised its body and looked ready to strike.
“SSSSSS!”
“Wh-what the fuck is that thing!?” I yelled out.
As if spurred by my words, the snake reared its head back, brandished its fangs, and lunged. Letting out a yelp, I flung myself onto the side into the ground. Mud splattering all over me from the rain that continued to drench my form, I looked at where the snake landed and only saw dark yellow eyes staring at me from the bushes. Not taking a millisecond to think, I rolled over, and sprinted myself at where I last saw what I assumed to be a campfire. Heart pounding as my clothes stuck to my skin from the rain, I heard an angry hiss just right behind me, causing my already racing heart to beat faster.
“W-what the fuck!?” I thought while doing my best not to slip or trip. “I have never seen a snake that big in my life! What the fuck was that and why the hell does it look so weird!?”
Not letting up my pace in the slightest, I looked up in the distance to make sure the camp was still in front of me only to not see the orange glow I saw earlier. Stomach dropping from fear, I quickly had my mood improved when I noticed the smoke wafting in the air just a few meters in front of me. Feeling the hope well inside of me, I suddenly let out a pained scream at feeling what felt like a needle hit me square in the back. Almost instantaneously I felt sluggish. Deciding that I had no other option, I let out a hoarse scream.
“H-help!” I shouted, once I entered the camp. “Help me please! Some type of weird snake is attacking me!”
Seeing three small tents and hearing several muffled voices of confusion, I made it to the center of the camp and almost fell to a heap onto a couple of sitting logs. Turning my head to look at the treeline from where I exited, I waited with baited breaths, only to soon hear the steady ferocious hissing from the overly large snake.
Just when it broke through the treeline, I heard the tents unzip and heard one of the people inside yell out.
“It's an Ekans! It’s going for that person over there!”
“Hurry release your Pokemon!”
“What!?” I thought, in a daze from whatever that snake did to me. “Pokemon? Isn’t that a game? Why the hell are these people joking around right now!?”
Bright white flashes of light erupted from behind me causing my shadow to eclipse the supposed Ekans form. Hissing at whatever had happened behind me, the snake balanced on the back part of its body and reared up, its tail angrily shaking like a maraca.
“Ratta!”
“Wrrrrr!”
“Cawwww!”
Stepping in front of me was a sight I don’t think I could forget for several years.
A purple, small, rat-like creature, with two sharp buck teeth bared with a tail standing at attention, called out a random word that sounded like a warcry. Beside it, a green and yellow worm-like bug with a red body part shaped like a Y coming out the front of its face made some type of noise I couldn’t quite decipher. Lastly a yellow and tan bird with a pink beak flapped its wings and screeched a sound one wouldn’t think capable.
These were Pokemon.
This shouldn’t be possible.
Staring at the creatures looking like they were getting ready to fight, I was pulled from my shock when I felt a couple hands grab my shoulders.
“Shit! They’ve been hit with a poison sting!” The voice from the person who was grabbing me shouted.
“Pull it out before it spreads! Fuck, Pidgey use gust!” Another voice commanded.
“Pidgeeeeey!” The bird cried as it flew into the air.
Once getting above the snake, the Pidgey flapped its wings in its direction causing a heavy amount of visible air to be blown towards it. Getting low, the snake hissed and tried to stay rooted in its spot as the strong gust of wind threatened to blow it back into the forest.
“Don’t worry…we got you! Rattata, keep in front of us and make sure that Ekans doesn’t attack in our direction!” The person who had their hands on me cried out.
Feeling myself being pulled further back, I let out a cry, when the pain of getting whatever lodged into my back was forcefully pulled out, only to feel relief when they sprayed some type of medicine on me.
“That sound…it was a little too deep to be a woman…are you…” I heard the voice whisper behind me.
“Caterpie, use string shot! Make sure to bundle up that Ekans real good!” The person who called out the worm-like creature yelled.
Turning my head away from whatever was happening, my head began to spin. I could hear the sounds of hisses, caws, growls and weird noises that I assumed came from the worm. Putting the fact that I was seeing real life Pokemon to the side, I looked at my saviors.
The one who was still holding onto me was frozen, eyes constantly roaming over my torso with a blush and hunger in her eyes as if I was some type of peak male specimen. She looked to be severely overweight, her chubby hands not being idle as the one on my shoulder tightened, while the other that had pulled the singer out of my back was slowly rubbing it in an almost worship-like motion. Scrunching up my face, I couldn’t help but notice that she had a strong stench to her, as if she was someone who had stayed in these woods for weeks and had not taken a shower or bath since.
The one with the commanding tone of voice who had called out the Pidgey was skinnier, but no less unattractive looking in my opinion. Baggy clothes hanging off of her form, her face looked like it had seen better days from the missing teeth that were shown every time she called out an attack, to the misshapen nose that told stories of it being broken several times until she decided to just keep it like that.
The last member of the trio that saved me wasn’t too bad. Brown hair that went down to her shoulders, with overly bushy brows, she seemed to have perfectly ordinary features. She wasn’t what I would call beautiful or sexy, but she wasn’t unattractive. She just seemed like an average girl and was cute. With the way she looked younger than the other two, she was obviously less rugged by not having had to spend much time doing what they did, whatever it was.
Hearing the sounds of battle stop, I came to notice that all three were staring at me with wide eyes. Feeling a little self-conscious and dizzy from the now known poison, I spoke up, my voice sounding hoarse.
“T-thank you for helping me out.” I croaked out. “I don’t know what happened, I-I just woke up back there and…and I just don’t know what’s going on.” I finished weakly.
The three shared a look between each other. The one who I think was the leader spoke, raising a red and white ball up and pressing a button causing the Pidgey to be sucked into it with a red beam of light.
“Hey.” She started, her eyes roaming my form as the rain continued to pour down around us. “What’s a pretty man like you doing out here alone?”
“The fuck? Pretty? Screw it, I'm too tired to be confused. I’ll just take it as a compliment.” I though with a sigh.
“I-I don’t know. I just woke up out there. I have no idea where I am.” Worry filling my voice, I watched a smirk come across who I assumed was the leader’s face.
“Hey Nix.” She called out to the obese girl behind me, getting her attention. “Why don’t you drag our new friend here into my tent since it's bigger…you know, to help get him out of the rain.”
A silence that I felt held some type of meaning I couldn’t quite describe lingered in the air for a second.
“R-right away boss!” Nix said from behind me in a weirdly overtly eager voice. “C’mon pretty thing, I got ya!”
Feeling myself being dragged away into the tent, I let out a small hum of satisfaction at laying on something that wasn’t dirt or feeling the cold rain pelt against my skin. Feeling my head lay against Nix’s overly big and cushy thigh, I once again had to keep the wince from showing on my face from getting a whiff of a worse smell at my position.
“I don’t want to be rude, but God damn does this chick stink. Ughh.” Trying to keep my thoughts away from what body part on her must stink this bad as I lay on her thigh, I watched the other two girls walk in, along with the Rattata.
“Recall your Pokemon already, you fat bitch.” The leader said quickly. “I wanna do this quickly.”
Not understanding what she was talking about, I felt Nix shuffle a little before a red beam of light connected with the Rattata causing it to get sucked into what I think was a ball. I’m guessing the one with the Caterpie already recalled her Pokemon outside. Looking at the two women who stood above me, what she said suddenly became the forefront of my worries. I could feel a tension in the tent, and it began to rise almost immediately.
“Wh-what do you mean?” I stuttered out worriedly. “You guys aren’t going to rob me, or take my organs right?” I joked, but a little scared at how weak I currently felt.
“Oh nothing like that sweetheart.” The leader purred. “We just want to have a little fun is all. With the way that shirt is clinging to your body you’re damned near teasing us…that’s not nice.”
“W-what?”
Getting down on her knees, with the brown haired girl still standing and looking a little unsure, the leader began to crawl up to me before she was directly over me. Her missing teeth and broken nose made her look sinister and I couldn’t help but notice she had a disgusting smell clinging to her as well.
“We saved you, you know. The least you could do is repay us with a good time~.”
Face turning down right cruel, she began to pull at my shirt to try and rip it off. Bringing my hands up to her wrists, I tried my best to struggle, but the weakness I felt from being poisoned sapped away most of my strength. Doing my all to keep my shirt on, the laughing sounds that came from both the woman in front of me and the one behind me came out of them with dark, evil intent. Not understanding just what the hell was going on, one thought came to mind.
“A-are these bitches crazy!?”
