Prologue of the yellow arc guys. This will probably be a much shorter story then the first arc as it will deviate a lot more from the original story.
Also ignore everything I said about this arc previously… basically plot changes. This story will also be a bit more of an ensemble cast sort of thing instead of being almost completely one character's point of view like the first story.
Prologue
/?/
An hour ago he had been in his room alone with the guards. He had been compliant for the last year or so, so they had become lax.
It wasn't as if they needed to be prepared after all he was just a ten year old boy….. Well they really should have been.
At dinner he stabbed the knife into one Guard's hand and pocketed it
When the second called out he kicked him in the balls
He knocked the two out and moved as fast as possible
Using the knife he opened the vent and entered it.
From there he moved around the Research Centre searching for his parents.
He watched the Rocket's look for him… The scientists as well.
He knew that some of the scientists worked with team Rocket, the new faces but the old ones should not be so familiar with the ones that had taken over his home!
The boy moved through the vents noticing how dirty they were and how tight the fit was. He was lucky he hadn't waited any longer and that he was so small for his age. He finally came to the lab of Professor Sulmac. As he exited the vent carefully he had to blink.
The vents had been dull and dark in comparison to the brightly lit laboratory. He looked in a few test tubes as he coughed to make himself known. The man spun blue eyes displaying his shock.
"Chrome….?" he called out surprised, Chrome the boy grinned
"Hey Professor!" the boy moved around the lab "you wouldn't happen to know where my parents are?" the Professor pulled at his greying red beard unsure what to say, he shuffled closer to his desk. Chrome glanced at him confused not understanding what the man was doing. He pulled something from under the desk, a pencil.
Chrome had a bad feeling, there were three other pencils on the desk. He moved away from the Professor slightly.
Sulmac has known me since I was a toddler! He probably is trying to get a message to me without anyone noticing… or something
"Chrome your parents are dead" the boy stared at him
"What? How…?"
"In the first attack on the Research centre your father refused to cooperate so they put a bullet in his brain" Chrome stood there unmoving "your mother took her own life a month later"
"Why am I still here then?"
"You are a child. We couldn't risk you getting out and telling anyone but at the same time there was no point in killing you ether"
Chrome didn't miss it
"We?" he hissed out the word "you said we" it became a growl. Sulmac's eyes became hard and he moved the grab Chrome who dodged
"Yes we! I'm sorry Chrome I never foresaw this… But I help-"he didn't finish his sentence. Sulmac dove for the boy again almost grabbing him. In fear Chrome grabbed the nearest object, a beaker and threw it.
The glass shattered as it collided with Sulmac's face and the acid ate away at it. The man screamed and flailed as he fell to the ground. Chrome scrambled away from the body and out the door as fast as possible.
Guards were already moving on his location. Sulmac must have had alerted them before he had attempted to grab Chrome with how many and how close they were.
Finally coming to an open door Chrome hid within the room. He collapsed on the ground hugging his legs.
Sulmac would die from that, no way he would survive after the damage the acid did to his face.
Chrome had killed someone… But Sulmac had his hand in his parent's death…
They all did Chrome realised. There was no way after a year they would have kept everyone around. Adults with no use…
He sat alone with his thoughts for a long time each one darker then the last. The fates of those who stood against team Rocket and the amount of the staff that would have simply betrayed the others. To scared to stand against the enemy or already working with them.
Chrome was probably alone in this place… and dead now to. He was no longer an innocent child; he was a threat that much was obvious.
Looking around the room suddenly he took notice of where he was, a filing room. Much of the research notes had been kept on a paper file as well as electronically due to how the isolation of being this far out in the Viridian forest could and had lead to some computer issues, the generators just couldn't handle the strain sometimes.
Chrome chose to stand and begin to look through the files. He started at just before the attack by Team Rocket and found everything to be business as usual.
After though…
After Team Rocket had come the research into new ways to heal Pokémon, their genetics, all of it was…
Chrome stared at the photographs he had discovered of some sort of Rattata that had been forced to stop half way through evolving. One of the notes even mentioned how the creature seemed to be in pain… As if it wasn't obvious!
A few more photos of experiments later and he was about to throw up.
This was it… This was what his parent's research was being used for? To cause immeasurable amounts of pain to a bunch of creatures that shared this world with them.
There was one file though that pushed him over the edge. Experiment C.O.P.H Coph, combination of Pokémon and human.
Maybe that was why he was kept around, a test subject. They had been using cells only so far but they had been attempting to create a hybrid of Pokémon and human dna.
Chrome closed the draw robotically.
They were creating a hybrid of Pokémon and human dna…
They were creating a monster…
He had taken note of which Professors and Doctors kept appearing and the new ones…. He would start there…
And remember folks don't flame unless you have an extinguisher!
