A/N: Hey all! I know this isn't actually an update for Transmuting Freedom - that's in the works, though! - but the idea popped into my head and wouldn't leave me be. The original idea was to do just the legendary Pokemon, but then Gyarados and Charizard started complaining, so the entire Pokedex gets a go. For anyone who has seen the SCP Foundation website, you'll recognise - hopefully - the style of the story. For those who haven't, I recommend checking it out. Start with SCP-106. Just so everyone is on the same page, though, I'll give a few basic definitions in this chapter, and the actual stories can start. I own nothing, and since each Pokemon is unique in this story, it's obviously AU.
Greetings, gentlemen. Or ladies, whichever is reading this document. Within this document is information on some of the gravest threats known to mankind. For centuries now, people have fought against these creatures, struggling valiantly to contain them. Unfortunately, sometimes these efforts are not enough. And that is where we step in. The PRF, or Pokemon Research Foundation, is dedicated to not only capturing each and every one of these creatures, but also to ensuring that we understand them, in order to better protect our world from them and their effects.
To that end, I will now define the various classes of creature contained within these pages;
Safe - As it sounds, Safe creatures are those that we understand completely and can control without difficulty. They pose little to no threat to human life, and in some cases may be allowed to roam semi-freely around the various PRF facilities, provided they keep in touch with an appointed supervisory member of staff.
Euclid - Euclid class creatures are those which we do not understand yet, whether this is because their physiology works in a different way to our current knowledge, or because there is simply no knowledge available about the creatures. By definition, all new acquisitions are classified Euclid until research staff have had time to perform a full analysis, at which point the creature in question may be reassigned. Note that not all creatures are classified Euclid by standard, however.
Keter - In cases where the creature being captured poses a clear and present danger to all human life, with both immense power and high intelligence, the creature is to be given the classification of Keter immediately, and a Mobile Task Force is to be sent in to perform the retrieval operation, rather than the usual retrieval squads. Creatures may also be given Keter classification if they exhibit great power, with a hostile attitude towards humanity in general. However, termination of these creatures is to be used as a last resort only.
Thaumiel - Only given in cases of extreme danger, not just to a small - relatively speaking - portion of humanity, but to the entire planet. These creatures are by far the most dangerous, and all research into neutralizing their abilities is to be given top priority. No less than three (3) Mobile Task Forces will be sent out upon discovery of a Thaumiel-class creature, and at least one of these Task Forces is to be trained in the shielding of the mind.
These are the four classes given to each of these 'Pokemon', as the researchers have dubbed them. (The reason they did so remains unknown.)
Oftentimes, when there is a dangerous situation, or research needs to be conducted, it will be carried out by D-Class personnel, who are chosen semi-randomly, most of them having been taken from death row, or life sentences without possibility of parole. These are considered to be the lowest scum of the planet, and their deaths - should such an event occur - are considered to be acceptable collateral damage. Where possible, inmates on death row are to be considered for the program first, before inmates serving life without parole, however if time is an important factor, then this can be waived.
Mobile Task Forces have been mentioned previously, and I have no intention of leaving them out of this document. Each MTF will be composed of elite soldiers, trained in multiple forms of lethal and non-lethal combat. They are to be sent in to situations that are considered too dangerous for the standard retrieval teams, and many of them may have additional training, whether that is to become proficient in mental shielding, underwater or subterranian tactics, or electromagnetism and quantum physics. (Aside: Believe me, it's needed more often than you would think.)
Most information obtained by the PRF is censored, on a need-to-know basis. Until clearance is granted by a member of E4 Command, all sensitive information contained within these documents is to be redacted. The identity of all members of E4 Command is classified Top Secret, and requires at least a two-thirds majority vote of the entire E4 Command council to reveal the identity of even one of them.
Welcome to the PRF, people. Always remember that we are all that stands between peace, and the complete obliteration of our planet, and by extension, the extinction of the human race.
E4-[REDACTED], E4 Command.
A/N: So there you have it. The first few PRFs should be written up and posted soon. Might start work on one now, actually. They will run in numerical order, following the National Dex list. So everyone's favourite, Bulbasaur, will be the first to receive the PRF treatment! Can you feel the excitement building? Also, just to cover my ass from any repercussions - there is no SCP Foundation fanfiction section that I know of, but this can be considered a crossover between that fandom and Pokemon. There. Now you can't say I haven't at least tried. Hope you enjoy, and please review! ( Never mind, I was going to post this and found the SCP Foundation Mythos section under Miscellaneous.)
