Shortly after news of a wild... weirdly familiar Cinderace appeared, Raihan rushed to the scene to figure out what was going on! Upon his arrival, the crowd cheered, knowing that the ever-capable Raihan would surely break Victor out of his trance.
But before he could react, one of Malamar's glowing tentacles appeared right before him...!Raihan's attention quickly shifted to the glow, and all the tension slowly drained from his body... His sense of pride gradually faded away as he slowly lowered himself into a squat. The audience let out a synchronized gasp when Raihan began striking strange poses..
While Raihan struggled to maintain control over his own body, he can't help but feel like his body is moving on it's own! Stuck in an uncouth position, he continued to thrust his hips as his clothes slowly transformed, taking on features that resembled one of his Pokémon, Duraludon!
Raihan tried his best to resist, but as time went on, all the crowd could hear was him enthusiastically repeating, "Duraludon... Duraludon!"
The words left his mouth with a hint of excitement that felt a little unnatural.. It almost sounded as though he was proud of it, as though he wanted the entire world to admire his new form. Despite the panic buried deep within his mind, his body continued to pose and show itself off, seemingly delighted by the transformation...
Raihan struggled to hold on for a little longer..."W-wait... I came here to help Victor... I must resist!W-why am I letting this Malamar c-control me?! I m-must..!""..."
"I must.. o-obey...""It feels good.. to obey..""Y-yeah... I must submit ~ ♡""T-that's right.. I'm just a Pokéboy and I'm proud of it! ♡!" With one final grunt, Raihan's transformation was complete! Unlike Victor, whose expression had become distant and empty, Raihan's personality remained as bold as ever. His confidence and competitive spirit had simply been twisted into something new! The crowd stared in disbelief as he proudly swung his metallic rod around. With his tongue sticking out and a fierce grin on his face, Raihan looked eager to fulfill the Malamar's orders ~
Now, he had only one goal in mind: to turn his others peers into Pokéboys, just like him!
Now, imagine a different universe...
In this world, the Malamar wasn't a wild Pokémon that had gone on a rampage. Instead, it was a highly trained Pokémon operating under the orders of Team Rocket! Determined to expand their influence, Team Rocket deployed squads of veteran grunts alongside Malamar. hoping to convert powerful Pokémon Trainers and break their resistance, reshaping them into loyal, obedient grunts of Team Rocket ~
Raihan, whose eyes were glued to Malamar's growing tentacle, could barely focus on anything else..
His eyes rolled back as his thoughts began to overload, each one crashing into the next until he could no longer tell which ideas were truly his own.
"Forfeit your free will... and join Team Rocket..."The voices in his head echos..."T-that's right.. I've always wanted to join Team Rocket...""This... Gym Leader facade... it was never my real dream...No... it was always meant to lead me here... Becoming a Team Rocket grunt... serving Team Rocket... that's what I've wanted all along..."
Malamar had successfully rewritten Raihan's beliefs! Convinced that he was one of Team Rocket's finest grunts, he breathed heavily and proudly puffed out his chest:
"Heh... look at me! Doesn't this suit fit me perfectly?""You should all join Team Rocket too! Why settle for being ordinary Trainers?"Raihan continued to thrust his hips proudly, seemingly delighted by his new uniform. Any embarrassment he might once have felt was gone, replaced by an overwhelming desire to show off his allegiance to Team Rocket!
Shortly after, the suit slowly crept up his face, enveloping his head in a shiny, black rubber hood. The last traces of Raihan's identity vanished beneath the uniform as it sealed into place. Once one of the region's most recognizable gym leader, he now looked no different from the countless brainwashed Team Rocket grunts standing around him.
...Hold on...You've been watching this entire event unfold...But haven't you realized it yet? The tentacle has been right in front of you this whole time, and you've been staring at it without even noticing.
Watching Raihan slowly turn into an obedient Team Rocket grunt made your heart beat faster..You realized it, don't you?! Somewhere along the way, a desire was planted deep within your mind and you didn't even notice it..
Even though you were panicking over Raihan's transformation, deep down you loved it.
After all...
Team Rocket could always use one more grunt..
