Lord Jean Ambiphian was doing late reading in his library in his red evening sleepwear and dark blue gown while listening to the downpour outside. He heard the front door bell ring. He goes and answers the door. He sees a winkly old woman standing on the front door step, clenching her raggedy cloak in the wet cold.
"Please, sir. Let me stay here for the night or until I have dried off and warmed up." Jean looks at her intently before saying.
”I am sorry to say that I am not entertaining any guests tonight, especially riff-raff like you. So, would you kindly please move on?” The old lady gives a angry snort and walks away and mumbling something as she left. It was so incoherent that even in a more favorable environment, Jean would have struggled to understand what she is saying. He closes the door and makes his way back to the library. On the way, he comes across Alexander his Butler and right hand man.
”Who was at the door, sir?” Jean waves his hand dismissively.
”Another gypsy wanting to steal anything she can pocket. She already took some precious time away from my reading. Sometimes, I wish I could be separated from the outside world.”In his head, a voice speaks to him
"A stealing gypsy, am I now? Fortunately for you, I know some actual magic and will be able to grant your request.” Jean spins around to locate the source of the voice.
"Don't worry, After the spell has done its work, no one from the outside world will want to bother you as you don't want them to see you in your new repulsive form." Alexander has a look of concern on his face.
”Is something the matter, Sir?” Holding his head, Jean says in a tired voice.
”I think I am getting too sleep deprived. I am going to off to bed.” Jean and Alexander say their farewells for the evening, Jean heads to the master bedroom. In the bathroom, Jean splashes his face to clear his head. As he looks his face in the mirror, Jean sees the single most disturbing thing in his life. His eyeballs have completely changed to yellow spheres. His skin starts to tingle as his hair starts to fall off his scalp. Jean lets out a blood curdling scream.
The skin at his throat changes to a deep red and starts to expand like a beach ball. As Jean breaths in and out, it inflates and deflates accordingly. Most of his body turns dark blue with many band of black. His digits on his hands and feet turn from five to three with the middle toe on foot being red and a red spike on the back of each hand erupts a red spike. His robe and sleep no longer fits him properly.
As the staff could come and check on him, what they find instead is a Troxicroak in his place. As the staff try to get near him, the poor scared creature tries to warn them to stay away but It lands on deaf ears. As the staff touch his skin, instead of a deadly posion, they all too start to change into Pokémon. The list includes the maid Mira, the chef Porscine, the gardener Alyssa, the personal guard Florentine, The handmaid Simone and finally the butler Alexander.
