Short Story

In just Turquoise Hills alone, Dyno comes across numerous strange items with surreal properties that need to be properly cracked in order to get them kickin’.

Recently however, Dyno was gifted with a strange, pretty pink shell from… Roxy of all Pokèmon. The sister of his former teammate. At first it seemed like a setup for any old transformative prank she's known for, but the excellent Espeon managed to reassure the researcher Raichu with a story that seemed incredibly genuine for him not to raise any of his nonexistent eyebrows. Supposedly Roxy had come across the shell alongside Graham in her younger days on playful beach day: building sandcastles, sightseeing and accidentally consuming like gallons of salt water. She believed its pinkiness and additional glowing properties very well may be worth looking into, so they had taken it to numerous researchers with sadly no luck on finding anything special about it. Eventually she had kicked the bucket and locked the shell away in the bakery treasure chest, but a recent clearout had led her into rediscovering it, bringing back the motivation to give this some closure. This brought her to Dyno.

Dyno was over the electric terrain to look into this, though Roxy had an additional request. She suggested that maybe looking into it at the beach and bringing her brother, Riley along would be nice. Afterall, her brother helping him crack something that the purple anomaly had been trying to solve for years would feel incredibly rewarding right? He didn't even mind about how much credit he'd take as he still saw Riley as a friend, and it was just for Roxy afterall. She also added that Dyno did not tell her Glaceon brother about her giving him the shell until after they had solved it, and this would give a red flag but Dyno decided to play along. Perhaps Roxy just simply wanted to keep herself anonymous so she could surprise Riley if they did solve it.

It was settled and Roxy had headed out with a slight grin. After arrangements, the Raichu and the Glaceon had found the time to meetup and stepped onto the bubbly beach to investigate the conch shell. Riley didn't know why he had to be here for this, though it was interesting to see Dyno in his element. They tried numerous things like: listening to it, cleaning it, listening to it again, filling it with sand, listening to it once again, electrocuting It, though nothing seemed to cause a reaction. Until Dyno had an idea. What if they listened to it, but for like a very long time. Perhaps not an hour, but maybe plenty of minutes will do? Maybe that's were all the other researchers had failed, no one would dare to listen to the sound of a conch shell for ten minutes without dying of boredom.

Riley wasn't exactly on board with this idea, though Dyno was extremely adamant, so he had no other choice. It felt like an eternity, those minutes almost felt like full hours. Riley instantly realised why others hadn't tried this, it's so unbelievably mind numbing. He could literally be writing demo songs right now but is instead stuck with the admittedly soothing but agonising sounds. He thought of giving up and leaving despite Dyno’s encouragement for him to stick around, though he then remembered that he hadn't even asked if Dyno even had a dang clue on what he'd think would happen if this radiant object would do. Though before he could get an answer, he felt all tingly and Dyno seemed to feel the exact same interrupted him as he ended up dropping the study.

Dyno felt his body getting way stubbier, causing him to balance like a toddler as he shrunk significantly, though he looked on with his changes in awe and oddly excitement. He had cracked the shell, metaphorically of course but it seemed to be a transformative object! His obtuse orange and white fur gradually receded, revealing a lovely light blue and prettier whites, with odd branches growing from his back. His tail, ears, and cheek pouches were also on the chopping block all twitching and being stripped away, with him thankfully being able to naturally release all the electricity he'd been storing from his cheeks just in the knick of time. A horn comfortably made room on his head also, as a speckled pattern formed on his body, though Dyno's legs and arms eventually became way too stubby to support him standing upright and with a couple of fortunately not painful snaps he had gone into a quadruped stance. He lost his neck and awkwardly had to shake his ruby red scarf off his body which was easier said than done with his continuing expanding rocky branches, though something down below had also changed causing her to yelp, though it was nicely quick. Finally Dyno had stopped shrinking and her new growths had stopped… growing. She was a cute, tiny, and most importantly shiny Corsola!


Riley on the other hand witnessed almost immediately his muzzle expand outwards into a snout, with a shiny pink ball taking the place of his wet black nose. Seemed perfect for blowing bubbles. Immediately Riley knew what was going on and he had almost the exact opposite reaction to Dyno. Moments ago he was bored out of his mind by the mysterious conch shell they were studying, but now he was terrified by it. Riley awkwardly tried to stay upright as he already felt his back legs being sucked into his body and front legs expanded into what seemed to be flippers. His tail also shifted significantly, becoming more linked with his body as two cute tail flippers sprung out. Vital violet fur tool over the lacking Icy blues and ruffles had popped out from his body, that made it look like he was wearing a dress. He blushed, but a speedy change to his lower regions made her even redder. She still felt her head awkwardly shifting as her crest was a victim of the violet fur, shrivelling up with her two diamond flaps attached to said crest being sucked back in until they were gone entirely. Her ears were the biggest victim, losing all their edge and no longer resembling fox-like ears, instead becoming ball-like, bright and bubbly. None of this hurt, but it really felt like it should've as she felt the last of her back legs be sucked back into her body and losing balance with her new flippers, toppling over onto her belly. She blinked a couple times as new eyelashes had flourished and the changes had finally ended. Riley was one lovely, charming and crucially shiny Brionne~

The two looked at eachother, one with continuous joy, the other going from a scared to a fed up reaction rather swiftly.

Dyno’s method had worked and was ecstatic she was able to figure out the mystery of the shell. Even if her body had changed significantly, she smiled and was excited to tell Roxy about her methods. Deep down she also felt kinda cute, being miniature compared to her normal body felt kinda cool.

Riley on the other hand was not okay. I mean if she had the foresight to know that she'd be transformed and get her gender flipped, she simply wouldn't have come. It was nice she was in a form that was extremely capable of singing well at least, though she was hoping to go back to her freezing eeveelution body as soon as possible. Having no legs was already a hassle as she tried to get up and rant at Dyno.

Though something dawned on the new seal. Why was she invited anyways? Typically Dyno is fine doing research on her own 99% of the time and she never invites anyone like Teddy, Graham, Atlas or Roxy to see wha- Roxy… Of course. Her sis must've known something and convinced Dyno to get her to tag along… I mean, it seemed perfect. She must've known what Dyno was researching in order to get to laugh at herself being a silly water type girl. Perhaps she and Dyno were in on it together?

Though after Dyno innocently squeaked the answer, the latter part was squashed at least but Riley still just frowned and still laid on her belly.

This shell was Roxy’s huh? Makes sense why it was damn glowing, that crafty Espeon must've put a special activation spell on it with her gem and made up a convincing story to get Dyno to look into it with him. Oh yeah, they had been bamboozled alright...

Was thinking of doing a double Corsola TF but my Brionne bias got to me~
