Once the transformation has finished I shake myself off. Fur growing doesn’t necessarily make sure that it’s all lined up correctly. Plus something like this does a really good job at stretching out some of my muscles. I take the time to bundle up the clothes as neatly as I am able to and then slip into the little harness. It has a few pockets in it. Apparently, the idiot forgot to put Maria’s ball away so I have to do it myself. But once that is done and I adjust it enough so that it’ll lie flat without getting in my way.

“So did that hurt?” Maria asks.

“Not really,” I shrug. “Most you ever really feel is a bit itchy when it starts growing in all of the fur. It can be a bit disorienting, especially considering how much smaller I end up becoming.” I can stare her right in the eye right now.

I know she’s mostly here to be an escort and help ensure I give him his body back in the morning. But until the sun comes up again this body is mine. And Maria is technically my pokemon as much as she is his. There is a schedule to keep to make sure we make the most of the night, but we can take our time on that. For now, I just want to enjoy the travel.
