Okay, so this is my new Pokémon fanfic called The Rebellion! Enjoy! Be sure to leave reviews, as they help me go on! ^_^
Many years ago, Team Rocket began a series of tests and experiments on Pokémon and humans alike. The experiments were focused on one thing; DNA splicing. They began many forms of testing; talking Pokémon, spliced Pokémon (meaning, two or more Pokémon in a single body), shape shifting Pokémon-they were called the poke-tants; Pokémon mutants for short. But their main experiment were Pokémon-human DNA splicing. Pokémon-human splicing was adding Pokémon characteristics to once normal humans. They called them gijinkas. And this is the story of a girl, who risks her life rebelling against Team Rocket with the help of her mutant-freak friends to save the ones she loves, and others in the future.
Soon after Team Rocket could not control the Poke-Tants and Gijinkas, and some of the experiments escaped. Out of fear, humans protected themselves. The Police ordered the citizens to shoot any Poke-Tants or Gijinkas killed or driven away. Oops. But Team Rocket never learned. They continued to play God, and more mutants escaped. Boom; innocent lives taken out of fear. Boom; innocent lives taken out of carelessness. Oops.
But the mutants were smart, some by their own super intelligence, some by instinct, and others by the hard way. Oops. They- the Poke-Tants and Gijinkas- are rising up. They are forming communities, even armies, in secret. They want to rise up against the humans that put them through their suffering. They want revenge.
Oops...
1 | Madi
Madi looked unto the coast from her nice spot on top of a cliff. It sparkled in the beautiful, winter moonlight. Her navy blue hair gently rose and fell with the crisp wind passing by her body. She had not a care in the world. Except for her family. Her family was her world, without it; she had nothing. Madi sighed as she heard the dinner bell ringing in the distance. A small purr came from below, and Madi looked down to see none other than her loyal friend Shinx. Shinx beamed at her, saying "I'm hungry. Can we go get dinner?"
Shinx is a cautious electric type Pokémon who has been genetically altered to have the ability to speak English and read minds of both people and Pokémon.
Madi nodded, scooping up Shinx and zipping Shinx up inside her red jacket. The wind blew once more; Madi's hair flying about. Madi backed up a few steps, and then she sprinted to the end of the cliff, diving off. Shinx gave no remark to this action as the sharp air whisked around her.
The sea grew nearer, nearer, nearer... the blue Pokémon looked up to her friend's face; it was calm and emotionless. Then, just before they hit the unforgiving sea, a pair of navy blue wings shot from Madi's back, and the pair rose to the sky with a jolt. Shinx sighed, stating that she thought Madi was waiting too long. Madi shrugged in response. The two continued on their flight in silence for a little while; Madi was in no hurry to get back. Especially because everyone hated her.
Shinx's ears flicked as she read Madi's thoughts. Shinx looked into her eyes. "They don't hate you, Madi." Madi looked down at Shinx who lay cozy inside of her jacket.
"Yes they do, Shinx. They all do." Madi stopped flying, but remained aloft in the air. "Since I started that fight with Paige, everyone thinks I'm a spy or something... like I'm under TR's influence." Tears bristled in Madi's eyes. "No one fights with the leader, Paige."
Madi envisioned Paige in her mind; her hair was a golden flow with pink on the sides, it went down to her ankles. Paige's brown eyes. Paige's wings; much larger than Madi's, so of course Paige was a faster flyer. Those enormous wings were a chestnut brown around like a border, the rest a pale brown. Paige was a Pidgeot gijinka. Paige was 22 and their leader.
But Madi was just a Swellow gijinka. Madi's own wings had a beautiful navy blue trimming with white in the center. Madi's hair was the same shade of blue with a red streak going down the center; her hair went to her waist. Madi was 14 and a suspected spy. Pish posh! Madi thought to herself. Who cares what they think. Madi didn't give a crap about anyone except for her sister Xen and her friend Kerri. Madi is quiet and calm, like her sister. Just not as much.
Xen was a beautiful Xatu gijinka. Her hair was a fair crimson red going down to her middle back. Because of a Xatu being a psychic and flying type; Xen had psychic powers. She has telekinesis and can use the Pokémon move will-o-wisp. Because of this; everyone respected her, some even think she should be the leader. Although, sadly, Xen has no wings. No one really cares or knows why. They just live with it. Another reason everyone respects Xen is because she is unusually calm, even when trouble is brewing. Some think it is because she's cocky and full of hot air, but it's really because it in her nature. Xatus are calm, and so is Xen. Xen is 17 years old.
Kerri is a kirlia gijinka with short green hair going down to her shoulders. Two flat, red disks protrude from her head, she has crimson red eyes. Kerri also has psychic powers; she can influence people, meaning she can make them do whatever she wants. But she hates to use her power because she believes no one has a right to control anybody. She is a fun, spunky young girl of 13.
"Forget I thought any of this, okay?" Madi asked Shinx.
"But-"
"Please." Madi began to fly home again, and the two grew silent once more. Finally they arrived at home base; an abandoned warehouse. Pretty stereotypical, but it kept them all safe. It kept all the Pokémon gijinkas safe from Team Rocket. They landed on one of the platforms built for flying gijinkas. Other winged gijinkas passed by, giving a small wave; none looked her in the eyes.
Madi unzipped her jacket and Shinx jumped out. Shinx ran over to the Pokémon food court, conversing with some of her Pokémon friends. Madi sighed, looking for her sister Xen and friend Kerri who had agreed to meet her here.
"G- Get out of the way!" Madi whisked around to see a boy her age come flying into her.
"What the HECK dude?!" Madi exclaimed, pushing the boy off of her. He groaned and sat up, looking at her with a serene face. Madi suddenly noticed how gorgeous he was, and used all her strength to keep from blushing.
"S- Sorry..." he started. "I'm still getting used to the whole flying thing." Madi recognized him as one of the new members and had sympathy. She remembered how hard it was when she first started learning how to fly.
"Oh, don't worry about it." She grabbed his arm and hoisted him up. "I understand, flying is hard when you're just starting out." She examined his wings and he flinched, clearly having flashbacks of the TR Labs. "Well, your wings are awfully large," She poked a few spots, he flinched again, Madi ignoring it. "And by gosh, they're muscly! You're gonna be a pro in no time!"
"Really?" His eyes had excitement in them; she clearly perked him back up. Madi nodded in response.
"I'm Madi, and you are?" Madi asked with interest, outstretching her left hand.
"I'm Sargent." He shook her hand; firm but soft. Madi had trouble yet again containing her blush.
"Come on, let's get some grub before those greedy grumpigs eat it all." Madi kept a firm grip on his hand and pulled him inside with her. He laughed; it was like music to her ears.
Inside the Gijinka cafeteria it was loud; crazy loud. There were probably 50-70 members about now. Madi had never bothered counting. They stood at the tray line, sliding their trays along the metal countertop. Behind glass was food such as mashed potatoes, bread rolls, macaroni n' cheese and carrots.
"Don't bother eating the macaroni or carrots, they taste like miltank dung. Same goes for the carrots, but they're hard as rocks." Madi pointed to the noodles and carrots, sticking out her tongue for emphasis. She scooped out some mashed potatoes for herself, then some for Sargent. She grabbed two bread rolls each as well.
"Thanks." Sargent muttered shyly. He looked down to the floor; the noise was clearly getting to him. Or maybe it was just the harsh reality of what life really is. Madi took sympathy and told him how it was; she stepped in front of him, and she was forced to look upwards just to see his face because of how tall he was.
"Listen dude, I like you, so I'm gonna tell you this real fast and real blunt." Madi narrowed her eyes for effect, she wanted to intimidate this boy, and she wanted to prove her point. "Around here, the real world, not just the warehouse, you gotta be tough and outgoing. Strong and persistent." Madi hesitated. "You can't be quiet and shy, or else everyone'll think somethin's up."
Kerri waved to Madi from a nearby table, Xen sat beside her. Madi waved back and began to walk over, Sargent quietly trailing behind. "That's my friend Kerri; she's the one with the green hair. And the one with the red hair is my sister Xen." As they walked, Madi muttered to Sargent; "Everyone's already on my case; take it from me, you don't want that." Upon hearing this, Sargent realized why no one talked, or even looked at Madi. They all suspected her.
What for? Sargent wondered as they sat at the table. The girl with red hair, Xen was what Madi called her, stared into Sargent's eyes; emotionless and calm. After a few minutes she blinked and began to eat, no one had seen the silent exchange except them.
