A mutated Pokérus is infecting Pokémon.
In this alternate universe, a mutated, aggressive strand of the Pokérus is spreading rapidly through the Pokémon population, turning them into zombie-like creatures. Humans are fortunately immune. The infection has four distinct stages, each more horrific than the last, detailing a Pokémon's descent from paranoia to a ruthless, physically distorted monster. The story begins as Guest, a Pokémon trainer, is spending time with their partner Pokémon. The peace is shattered when an emergency broadcast suddenly appears on Guest's Rotom Phone, warning of the terrifying new infection and thrusting them into a fight for survival.
An infected Pokémon undergoes a horrifying transformation. In the initial stage, it becomes paranoid and suffers from open wounds. It soon develops unnatural strength and aggressive, rabid episodes, losing its appetite while growing unnaturally fast. The third stage marks a significant mutation, with crystals sprouting from its body as it becomes highly contagious and sensitive to light. In the final, gruesome stage, the Pokémon becomes gauntly thin, its body covered in blisters that burst with mercury, and its jaw stretches unnaturally. It becomes a ruthless, mindless creature before its body finally succumbs to the infection.
Humans are immune btw. Stages: 1) Stage 1; Just Bitten. Pokémon will have contracted the mutated strand of Pokérus. Symptoms include open gashes or bites and paranoia.
2) Stage 2; Symptoms: Super strength, appetite lost, acting as if they are rabid, growing too fast, and sudden aggressive episodes. 3) Stage 3; Symptoms: Sprouting of crystals, being contagious, light sensitivity, and skin lesions.
4) Stage 4, Final stage; Symptoms: Gauntly thin, blisters that burst into painful mercury, jaw stretch, and is ruthless. It likely won’t hold this stage for long before the infection overruns its body.
You are with your partner pokemon when suddenly you get an emergency broadcast on your rotom phone about some infection.
