[guilmon]

[A very startled Guilmon appears over the Pearl network, only he looks rather different from before.

His belly's white, he's got many black markings, and his eyes are vivid yellow. The Charmeleon shape remains, but this is obviously a big change all the same.]

Guilmon looks more like Guilmon!

[Yes. Yes, he does.]

Guilmon isn't sure what happened. There were lots of sparkles and then Guilmon looked like this.

[...]

Does this mean other Pokémon are gonna start looking more human?

[A connection appears... but it's strange. It's a Sunkern, alright, just like Flowey. But the Sunkern has a Charmeleon's face, just like Guilmon! Furthermore, the Sunkern sounds just like Guilmon!]

Flowey also looks more like Guilmon! Soon, everyone will look like Guilmon!

[Astute readers may realize that Flowey got his canon ability back to shapeshift his face to imitate others and this is just a prank on Guilmon.]

[guilmon]

Wah!

[He stumbles back, gawking at the Flowey-Guilmon.]

Did Guilmon make Flowey Guilmon?!

feel free to threadjack this and tell flowey to shut up

[friendlyflower]

Guilmon must have done something to make Flowey Guilmon! Maybe it's contagious! Guilmon should stay isolated for a week until the Guilmon germs go away!

You look really cool!

[Absolutely the type of monster a Japanese kid would draw in his notebook when trying to make something awesome! Umemiya approves.]

I woke up covered in sparkles too, but I wasn't changed like this. I just learned a neat new attack!

[guilmon]

You're not turning into Guilmon yet!

[GASP. This is good! Very, very good.]

Flowey says everyone's gonna turn into Guilmon and that Guilmon needs to stay away from everybody...

[fromsprouts]

I think he's playing with you. Like it's a joke.

[This is more polite than he really wants to be, where Flowey is concerned, but.]

[edgewater]

Lookin' snazzy, Guilmon!

[ very snazzy indeed. she likes it. thumbs up! ]

[guilmon]

You look normal too...

[He scratches his cheek, still very confused.]

But Flowey said he was turning into Guilmon...

[edgewater]

Is Flowey being an ass again?

[ get behind her guilmon. ]

Yeah, I'm normal.

[dunchies]

[ Start looking more human... ]

I think I'd rather look more like you, Guilmon.

[guilmon]

Really? But I thought people would want to go back to normal...

[Does Laios not like being human?]

[dunchies]

But wouldn't it be cooler to have more spikes and markings like yours?

[colorsflyinghigh]

Lookin Good, Guilmon.

[Ren grins. He looks the same as before... but he's wearing a very stylish outfit now.]

I dunno about that, but I got my outfit back. It's probably related.

[guilmon]

Ooh! Cool clothes... But they probably were bigger before, right?

[Changing clothes, oooh... That's interesting, though.]

[colorsflyinghigh]

I mean... [Ren grins awkwardly,] I was bigger before too. They'd look pretty ridiculous if they were still the same size, right?

[timeexistseverywhere]

Woah, you look amazing, Guilmon!

[Really goes to show what a big difference a few well placed markings can do.]

I wonder if anything else changed... Have you tried using any of your old attacks yet?

[guilmon]

Well, Guilmon can still do normal Guilmon things like this. Fireball and Rock Breaker are a lot like Ember and Brick Break...

[He gazes down at his claws, blinking.]

So I guess so, but that was before Guilmon got more Guilmon again.

[timeexistseverywhere]

Oh... I didn't know that. That's pretty lucky...

[So let's see...]

If they had a contest for the person who looks the most like how they used to, you'd probably win no contest. Unless someone was originally a Pokémon, I guess.

[Although they didn't interact much, Guilmon was... memorable. And his appearance was refreshed in Flamebringer's mind after being his Secret Santa partner.

The difference is stark. Drawing him in despite his wariness of the pearls.]

... So its happening to everyone. [Glitter included. He'd woken up with two of his horns back, returning him to his usual three, even if one of them was still his natural Absol one. He was a bit grouchy that he was still finding traces of the sparkly substance in his fur.]

I suppose it might depend on what one was before arriving here- but I suppose that could be true for several cases. [Nevermind that a Terran's definition of "human" will differ from other off worlders here. That won't cause confusion at all-] I can only assume you weren't human before?

[guilmon]

No, Guilmon was Guilmon! A Digimon.

[Hold on, he'll try to project a mental image of what he used to look like.]

Guilmon was a Fuecoco first, but then became a Charmeleon for some reason, and now Guilmon looks like this. It's really weird...

[indifferentinferno]

... I see. [He's glad he clarified. Not that the explanation meant much to him either.]

[The projected image startles him for a second- but when there's no follow up or funny business he relaxes. That was, convenient. He would've liked a warning though.]

Wait.. you changed into two different Pokemon? [He wasn't familiar with any 'Fuecoco' yet, but he would assume that was also a Pokemon.

Regardless- this was news to him.]

[seacub]

Oh wow!!! ...Congratulations?

[.................] I really hope that isn't the case, Pokemon looking more...human, I mean. ...It seems like it'd be a different feeling from what happened to you at least...

[guilmon]

Maybe, but some Digimon start to look more like humans when they evolve to higher levels. Or when they Matrix Evolve with their partners.

[So conceptually, it's not that weird to him. In fact, it's pretty normal.]

But I guess it'd be harder to fit in if that happened, huh? Guilmon hasn't seen a lot of Pokémon that look like people.

[offtracks]

That...is terribly strange.

[ Also a tad bit disturbing to Ingo? He actually knows what Pokemon ought to look like, after all. Still, it's comforting to Guilmon, so that's...nice? ]

Do you feel alright?

[guilmon]

Mm! Guilmon's okay!

[Look at his bright, cheery smile.]

Now Guilmon looks more like Guilmon, and that's good because Takato made Guilmon! Now Guilmon can show off all the cool markings...
