Jan came to laying on something soft. She could hardly see, smell, or hear, and she was freezing. She looked over at her paw, and realised that there was something very wrong with it. It was brown and furless, and split into five very slender digits rather than the three that had been there when she fell asleep...

Jan - Ummmmmumumumum...

She began to panic, as she realised that even her voice was no longer working properly, her tongue thick in her mouth, her face unusually flat. She looked over and saw on a soft platform, similar to the one she was laying on, there was a human, and she started, trying to scurry away on all fours, but finding it very uncomfortable. Then, she took another look at her forelegs, and compared them with the arms of the human, and she realised that they were incredibly similar...

Jan - Ummmmm?!

Suddenly, part of one of the walls opened and the human that had given her those delicious objects came in, made a startled noise, and covered his eyes with one of his paws, frantically indicating with the other paw some objects hanging from the wall. Jan tried balancing on her hindlegs, as the human had done, and found it surprisingly easy, even though her tail was gone. With her newfound mobility, she went to the objects and picked one from the wall. It felt like the same thing the platform she had woken up on, soft and rather comfortable, warming for her hairless body. So, instead of giving it to the human, she decided to wrap it around herself, in a show of defiance.

Jan - Um!

--

Benjamin had come into the introduction chamber to find only one of the Pokemon-turned-humans to be awake, and he quickly realised that she had not realised that she could've and should've put on one of the robes hanging from the wall...

Benjamin - Oh, crap! Put that on put that on put that on!

He covered his eyes, until, finally, he heard her putting it on, and she made a noise, and he uncovered his eyes.

Benjamin - Good! I mean... that's backwards, and upside down... and inside out but that doesn't matter... don't you think she'd like to be warm too?

Benjamin began pointing to the remaining robe, then dragging his finger through the air until it reached the still sleeping Pokehuman...

--

Jan watched with fascination as the human kept drawing lines in the air, from the other soft object to the sleeping human.

Jan - Um! Umumumummm...

She exclaimed, realising that the human perhaps wanted her to apply the soft object to the sleeping human, so she did so. The standing human seemed relieved by this. He then began indicating his chest, making the same noise over and over.

Human - Benjamin... Benjamin...

Jan, unsure of what this human was talking about, presumed that maybe that was human for "chest," so she began to copy him, pointing to her own chest.

Jan - Benjamin?

The human shook his head, and began indicating his whole body...

Human - Benjamin... Benjamin...

Jan stared, very confused. If "benjamin" was the human word for "chest" and "body," she would have a hard time learning to communicate, but then she realised that he was perhaps referring to himself. She then indicated him with one of her paws.

Jan - Benjamin?

The human's face seemed much happier when she said that, and Jan pranced a little because she had begun to communicate, but then she realised that translating "Jan" into human might be difficult...

Jan - Umum.... Uuum... Bum... Beom... Beon... Bean... Benja... Benjan... Jan! Jan!

Jan then began indicating herself, repeating her name. Benjamin then indicated her.

Benjamin - Jan?

Jan pranced again, finally she was able to communicate!

Benjamin then pulled out some thin objects with colour on them. Jan looked curiously, and Benjamin showed her one of the objects. On it was an image of... herself, her normal Umbreon self...

Jan - Ummeon... Jan...

Benjamin nodded, then showed her the other object, where there was a picture of Jessie...

Jan - Juh... Jujjuh... Jujjin... Jujjih... Juzhie... Jussie... Jessie... Jessie...

Benjamin indicated the photo of Jessie...

Benjamin - Jessie?

Jan - Jessie.

Then Benjamin indicated the other human sleeping in the room...

Benjamin - Jessie.

Jan was sconfused for a moment, then she realised that what had happened to her, inexplicably being turned into a human, must've happened to Jessie as well, but, seeing as Jessie was only sleeping, and not dead, Jan was feeling far more curious than angry...

--

Benjamin tensed up after he pointed to the sleeping Furret-human, apparently named Jessie. The Umbreon-human, apparently named Jan, seemed very puzzled for a moment, then looked back at him expectantly, and he quickly calmed, seeing as she didn't seem very distressed...

Jan - Um? Umumumumumumumumumum...

Benjamin - You want more words?

Jan began tapping her mouth with a finger, looking at him inquisitively.

Benjamin - Come, I'll teach you more words...

And so, while Jessie continued to sleep off the sleeping gas she had inhaled, Jan sat with Benjamin and learned to speak English...
