It looks like a Krookodile has taken to making certain Pokemon Trainers and their Pokemon disappear.


Tiran had just managed to top off his new team of Pokémon. He went to the local Pokémon center to heal up and look over his team. As he was walking by some Pokémon he saw a Krookodile picking on some smaller Pokémon, "Hey you cut that out!" He pushed away the Krookodile. It glared at him as it walked away, Tiran looked down at the two small Pokémon. It was a Riolu and a Nidorino. "Are you two ok?" The two Pokémon nod and waved to him as they ran into the shrubbery.

Tiran walked into the Pokémon center and turned in his Pokémon for healing as he heard a conversation going on in the background, "Hey did you hear about that Krookodile going around hurting Pokémon?" "Yeah man, I heard the Pokémon that it picks on seem to disappear from the area." Tiran mulled over this information, "I may need to deal with this problem..." A voice came from a nearby table, "You won't have to worry about that I'm on the case." He looked over and saw Officer Jenny.

"Oh Officer Jenny, I didn't see you there." She smiled as she stood up, "I try to keep a low profile." She said as she walked up to him, "We have the Krookodile situation all under control." Nurse Joy walked out of the back carrying a tray with Tiran's Pokémon on it, "Are you two talking about that nasty Krookodile?" They both nodded, "You need to take care of it my Audino hasn't come back, I haven't seen her since last week." She had tears in her eyes as she said this.

Officer Jenny looked at her, "Why did you never tell me this Nurse Joy?" Nurse Joy shook her head, "I was sure Audino would come back, I never expected this to happen..." She wiped her eyes, "Please excuse me there are some Pokémon in the back that need some care..." She walked into the back looking extremely sad. "I will get on this right away!" Officer Jenny nodded to Tiran and walked out of the Pokémon center.

That night Tiran paid so he could sleep in the Pokémon center for the night. He let out all of his Pokémon. He looked over all of them Lucario, Blaziken, Samurott, Pidgeotto, Chandelure, and his newly captured Axew. He grabbed the containers that contained each of the Pokémon's food and fed them all. "Good night everyone." He left all of his Pokémon out of their pokeballs as he went to bed.

The next morning after putting all of his Pokémon back into their pokeballs he locked up the room and went downstairs. He walked up to the counter and saw that Nurse Joy seemed panicked. "Is something wrong Nurse Joy?" She jumped when he started talking to her, "Oh... it's Officer Jenny she said that she would be back to tell me how it went but she hasn't returned yet..." Tiran Frowned, "Could she of forgotten?" She shook her head, "Even if she did forget I just called her a little while ago and she never picked up the phone..."

Tiran thought about this for a while, "I'm going to go find her, do you know where the Krookodile's home is?" She nodded and showed on his map where the Krookodile's home was. Tiran found a bike rental service and rented out a bike so he could get to the desert as quickly as possible. After thirty minutes of riding he made it to the desert. He folded up the bike and put it into his backpack and started to trek through the desert. After encountering some Trapinches and other desert Pokémon he found the caves that were home to the Krookodile.

"Go Blaziken." He tossed out Blaziken so it could light up the way. They walked deep into the caves but found no sign of the Krookodile. "Where could it be...?" Blaziken shouted out in warning to Tiran, "What is it Blaziken?!" Out of one of the tunnels ten Sandile crawled out, "That is a lot of Sandile..." Blaziken was standing between Tiran and the Sandile. "Blaziken we have to go there are too many Sandile."

Tiran and Blaziken started to run back through the tunnel that they had come through. Right as they were about to get out a large shape blocked out the opening to the cave. "Oh no its Krookodile!" The large Pokémon didn't seem happy to see Tiran and Blaziken in its cave. Tiran and Blaziken were surrounded on both sides; Blaziken suddenly grabbed Tiran by the back of his shirt and threw him narrowly over Krookodile's head.

"Blaziken!" Tiran shouted for his Pokémon, he could only watch as the Krookodile and the Sandile carried his Pokémon deep into the cave. He was about to run back in but then he realized that even if he did have a full team he couldn't take on the Sandile and Krookodile. He decided to run back to the Pokémon center and get reinforcements.

He ran into the town and started asking around for help, he quickly built up a group of ten other trainers. "Alright I think we will be able to beat them now." The group of trainers got to the caves as fast as they could. Tiran sent out Chandelure and had it use flash. The group went in with their Pokémon out, "Be careful there are a lot of Sandile from what I've seen."

As they got deep down in the caves they hadn't seen any Sandile or the Krookodile down in the cave yet. "Oh no!" One of the trainers in the back shouted out and everyone looked back to see thirty Sandile coming out of tunnels behind them. All of the trainers had their Pokémon attack the Sandile army, but as they were concentrating on the Sandile behind them another group of Sandile headed by the Krookodile came out in front of them.

"This is ridiculous..." Tiran muttered to himself, the Krookodile seemed to be relaying orders to all of the Sandile. As the battle went on the Sandile started to grab both trainers and Pokémon and dragging them off. "What are they doing?!" Soon there were only three other trainers left, "This is bad..." One of the trainers said right before being grabbed along with her Pokémon by a Sandile and dragged away.

One of the trainers attempted to help her but was too preoccupied trying to prevent himself from being taken as well. Another few minutes and it was all down to Tiran with Lucario standing with him. "All of the others..." Lucario was soon taken down and also dragged away, "No Lucario!" The Sandile all backed into the shadows and the Krookodile walked up to him and grabbed him by his shirt and dragged him deeper into its home.

As he was dragged further in he saw the trainers that had helped him were being buried in sand, "They are being buried alive?!" The Krookodile noticed him watching and stopped for a moment to let him watch. Tiran noticed a little mound of sand was popping up, a Sandile crawled up onto the sand and shook itself off. Tiran noticed the side of the Sandile had a familiar tint to it, "Bl... Blaziken?!" The red marks on its side faded quickly to become the normal color of a Sandile. Tiran realized why there were so many Sandile, "They are turning Pokémon and trainers into Sandile!" The Krookodile grabbed him once more and started to pull him down again.

"Argh! Let go of me!" The Krookodile ignored his pleas and continued to drag him down. Soon they were in a room full of red colored sand. The Krookodile threw Tiran to the opposite end of the room and started digging a hole. Tiran stood up in pain from being dragged and thrown. The Krookodile finally finished digging the hole and walked over to Tiran and grabbed him roughly. It grinned at him and threw him into the hole, "Let me out of here!" He shouted up at the Krookodile.

It smiled with a menacing grin and started to pour the red sand onto him. Tiran tried to climb out of the pit but found his hands couldn't grip the shifty sand. As more sand poured on him he noticed he couldn't move his legs and arms. "Urg... it's draining my energy..." Soon the sand was up to his chin, some Sandile ran up to the edge and aided the Krookodile in filling up the pit.

Tiran could only see darkness, for a second he was afraid that he couldn't breathe but found that he could breathe perfectly fine. After a few minutes he could feel changes passing through his body. His pants started to rip at the seams, and his shoes were ripping off of his feet. He felt painful tremors racking his body, "I'm not becoming a Sandile?... Then what am I becoming?" Tiran felt his body broadening; he then felt a growing sensation at his back, "I'm growing a tail?..."

As the sensation of change reached his chest he felt his shirt ripping off, "If only this were happening naturally..." He winced as he felt changes reach his arms. He felt his fingers merging together while growing claws. Then the change finally reached his head, he felt his face extending into a snout and his eyes were spreading apart. Soon his hair was gone and the sand was touching his now bear head. With his new eyes he could now see through the sand, he was about to start climbing out when something stopped him.

His mind was quickly changing along with the rest of him, "I am not a Pokémon I am a human.. a human.. a hum... kodile.. a h.. rookodile... a Krookodile." He blinked as his mind set and he dug out of the sand. His fellow Krookodile helped him out of the sand and he looked around to see himself surrounded by Sandile. He pondered for a second on what he had been doing before he had been resting in the sand. Then he remembered that they had been gathering trainers for their Sandile army.

The two Krookodile both smiled in unison, "Let's go gather some trainers and Pokémon for our army." The army of Sandile and the two Krookodile's left the caves and started to kidnap the people of the local town, soon the town no longer had trainers with their Pokémon, now it was full of Sandile and their two leader Krookodile. How long they will be satisfied with just one town no one will know. Perhaps soon they will expand their reach to your town.
