"...to become a Pokemon!" Zoroark said with a sly grin. Lara stared at him, still in disguise as her "subconscious", and started to laugh. "You think so? Okay, whatever... Maybe you're on to something, who knows? It's not like it's possible..." she sighed, gathering her things and getting prepared to leave.

Zoroark gasped a bit. He wasn't sure what reaction he expected, but to hear that she actually wanted this? It intrigued him, to say the least. "Now hold on... How do you know it's impossible?" he asked. Lara shrugged. "You're my 'subconscious.' You tell me." she grumbled. Zoroark thought about it. "Well, obviously, if it's possible to talk to your subconscious, clearly there's more to this world than you knew, right?" he mused. Lara had to concede that. "I guess... Hey, if you're really me, you'll help me find my way out of these woods! C'mon, I don't wanna camp out here!" she grumbled. Zoroark scratched his currently blonde head and sighed. He'd have to do quite a bit of improvising to get what he wanted. "All right... Follow me... This way!" he said, leading her deeper into the woods, unbeknownst to her...

They walked for a while, discussing what sort of Pokemon Lara might want to be. "Hmmm... You know, I rather like scaly things... I think I'd enjoy being a Kecleon!" she smirked. Zoroark shuddered at the thought of her in the form of a slimy-tongued Kecleon. "Guh... I mean... Don't you think deep down you might prefer something... fluffy? Maybe a cute... fox Pokemon?" he mumbled hopefully. "Fluffy? Hmm... I don't know... Oh! What about a Liepard? They're sooo cute!" she chuckled. Zoroark grunted a little, but shrugged. "Well, that's progress..." he sighed.

Of course, two people that looked identical couldn't go wandering the woods forever without drawing attention. An Umbreon and his cadre of six Eevee emerged from the bushes, staring at the travelers. "Oh! Look at them! Adorable!" Lara exclaimed. Umbreon looked at both of them, and Zoroark gulped. "Hmmm... Are you twins? Or are you...? I've heard of a Zoroark in these woods who likes to lead humans astray..." Umbreon muttered. Zoroark jumped in front of Lara, waving his arms frantically. "D-don't listen to this guy! He's paranoid!" he stammered. An Eevee sniffed the air and nodded. "I smell Pokemon scent all over her..." he said. Zoroark gritted his teeth. Something was about to go very wrong...

What happens next?
1. Umbreon attacks, knocking out Zoroark's illusion!
2. Zoroark's illusion turns him into an Umbreon!
