Chew Time Participation: Energy'mon (Preview)

“Helloooo, my lovely Chewers!” the lady declared, throwing her hands into the air, “This is Rachel Groves coming at you with another special presentation of The Transformative Chew!”

Her smile turns into a grin as she continues talking, “The first show we did was a big hit with fans, so we're doing another one! This time, allow me to introduce you all to this guest, Matteo!” She throws her hands in the guy's directions, wiggling her fingers.

Matteo anxiously smiles, awkwardly waving at the camera. “H-hey folks, glad to be here. I'm a new fan, and I'm honestly surprised I'm here. I'm really lucky to be a part of it!”

“New or old fan, it doesn't matter!” Rachel says, giving him a thumbs up. “All are welcome and equal here!” She clears her throat and looks back to the camera. “So, Matteo was our lucky winner of our special raffle! He'll get to try out a staple of the show, a fan favorite!”

She puts a hand on the table, drumming her fingers on it. “I've had this drink many times before, trying all kinds of flavors. Now, Matteo gets to give it a try now. Without further ado…” She stops her “drumroll” and holds her hand to the can. “Introducing: Energy'mon!”

There is an abrupt cut now to a different but still similar can of Energy'mon from the table. It slowly rotates on a disc, its logo now clear and readable. Below the “Energy'mon” is a subtitle, “Supercell Charge”.

“Yes, Energy'mon!” Rachel can be heard narrating. “It's the drink that'll give you that big energizing boost into big, buff, manly Pokémonhood! You've seen me try many different kinds of the year and seen my handsome forms. This time, we got something special!”

The scene cuts back to Rachel and Matteo, the former holding the can up. “This is Supercell Charge, a more powerful version of Electric Pulse. It's kind of like how Big Wave is to Aqua Burst.

“So, don't go expecting some Jolton transformation like we got before!” A small caption appears below her, indicating to check out the video description. There's a link to the video she was referring to.

“Now, I'm usually the one who tries out these drinks beforehand, even if it is a sub brand or what not. However, we all know that drinking this will surely result in a manly mon form. So, why not let our lucky winner try Supercell Charge first before I do?”

“What an honor,” Matteo jokes.

“Indeed it is!” Rachel exclaims. She leans over the table and hands him the drink. “Matteo will be taking lead on this. Let's give our newest star a big hand as he steps into large, electric monsterhood!”

Rachel claps as the camera shifts and focuses solely on Matteo, centering him on screen until only he is visible. He looks at her. “Thanks for giving me the chance to do this.”

He looks down at the can he now holds and opens it cautiously, almost as if expecting it to spray him in the face. “I won't let you or the show down, Rachel.”

“Good to hear!” Rachel says, off screen now, “Now, unleash the mon and reach that big buff bod you deserve!”

Matteo nods and takes a drink from the can. The drink becomes a gulp and then a chug. He leans further and further back, shivering gently as he takes in more of that energy drink. His hands clench, the can crunching a little.

After a bit, he sets the can down, panting heavily. He still shivers, eyes rapidly blinking for a time. “Ph-phew! That's… that's one hell of a punch!”

He holds his hands up, which clench and unclench. “Never… never had a single energy drink like that before.”

“And you probably won't again… until you have more Energy'mon that is!” Rachel chuckles, a sense of mischievousness in it.

That's when the camera slowly zooms in, focusing on his hands. On the back of his hands, yellow fur sprouts. It slowly spreads over the hand and onto his fingers. They unclench, showing his fingernails stretch out until they're sharp, black claws. Fur flows around his nails and to the underside. He flips his hands over, revealing blue pads on his palms.
