Prologue
In the beginning, life was pure and hatred was very little. Life was the same and took different forms. Over the years, humans and pokemon were born and died. They have coexisted with each other. However, some of mankind has been trying to take over the world and became impure.
In the midst of all that, legendaries have watched over humans and pokemon. As they can not die but only reborn, they roam the earth while in hiding.
As years go on by, life has been more corrupted. Bad things emerge, but the good always prevail. Good was most of the population while bad was of a small percentage. But bad has been growing over the years and remain constant on a certain level of appearance.
But as the legendaries have only watched and help if needed, they find some humans despicable and cruel. While others were good to their very soul. However, since no one cannot be completely evil or good, the majority are in between, some leaning over a side more.
Souls, they do not die but simply reincarnate themselves as someone different. They can be humans, pokemon, or even nature itself. But what makes them so different from legendaries is that they do not remember anything from their past lives. Theories have been casted that reincarnation happens, but no solid proof.
However, legendaries can see how a soul is like and what past they have. Among souls, there were twelve that were well loved by the legendaries. They remain pure as many others, but yet they seem to be special in a way. These twelve souls have been watched over by the legendaries and have received guidance in the most unsuspicious ways. But seeing as these twelve souls were special, they have received more power than others.
Souls have powers of their own in general, but only a handful of humans can tap into their souls for it. Pokemon have no problem tapping into their souls, that's what makes them so special—they rely on instincts while humans rely mostly on their minds.
But back to the twelve special souls, they have been reincarnated as many things. From human male to human female. Female pokemon to male pokemon. Even as nature for a few times.
This time now, they are all reincarnated as female humans.
In various dark rooms, two/three tanks were side by side. Each one containing a six year old girl. Needles with wire like things were stuck and punctured into the girls' bodies. Computers were running and scientists with evil smirks were running tests on the girls.
Each girl held a different yet similar story of how they got there. What was the same between all girls at the moment was that they are being tested on and are all unconscious. They have each been there for about two years. Long and young enough for them to forget who they are and how they got there.
But at the moment, sirens were ringing and blasting off like crazy. The girls remained undisturbed, but scientists were getting ready to evacuate along with the test subjects.
Bam! Sounds of feet were heard rushing running in along with the growling of some pokemon.
Sleeping gas was thrown in and everyone, but the intruders were effected. As soon as the scientists along with the pokemon were knocked out, the intruders summoned their pokemon.
The sound of glass breaking was heard and water rushed onto the floors. The captives were caught in arms and were leaving the building. The intruders made sure every life form was out of the place before setting up a small bomb and virus for the computers.
In the distant, a small bomb was heard and only little sounds of the alarm left evidence that there had been intruders.
Mission success.
"You are to watch over them." A man said. "And protect them from any arm."
"But I think we should get them back to their families." A woman argued.
"That's right." Another woman agreed. "I bet their families are really worried."
"No. we should keep them with us at all cost." A man countered.
"I agree." Another man calmly agrees. "What if they come back for them?"
Statements were thrown back and forth. Most of the women saying that the children should go back to families while most of the men say they should be kept under watch with them for the time being.
"Enough!" the boss man slammed his hands on his desk. That got everyone quiet. "Listen here, the family of these girls' are dead. Relatives have been forced to cut ties with them and papers made them official. They are now legally orphans and do not have a family to belong." He rubbed his temples at the thought. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but twelve agents will be picked to look after each girl. I will choose the agents after we see what has happened to the girls. I don't want to traumatize them, but we will need to run a little test to see what those scientists did to them. Got it!"
"Yes sir!" the people currently around saluted.
"Until further notice, this information does not leave the rule. . .And, we will need to destroy any files those scientists may have and/or sent to others. But for the mean time, everyone is dismissed."
Everyone bowed and left the room.
The boss man sighed and massaged his temples. "This is all a hell of a mess." He stood up and went to a room where twelve six-year-olds were currently at. When he entered the room, twelve pairs of eyes stared at him to which he stared back at each one. They have all been cooperating really well, but not one had said a word.
The man's stern face was gone and it was replaced by a gentle and warm one. "Do you know what happened to you?"
They all shook their heads which all held shoulder-length hair after the haircut.
"Do you know where or who your family is?"
Again, they just shook their heads, eyes dull but have lightened up a bit.
"Do you know your names?" the man asked again, trying to get any kind of response or information out of them.
This time, the girls hesitated and looked at each other like they were having a silent conversation.
"Misty." A small girl with orange hair said in a low voice.
"Leaf." A girl with grey-brown hair replied in a whisper.
"May." A girl with dog styled light brown hair said in a small voice.
"Dawn." A girl with midnight blue hair said dully.
"Blair." A girl with black-with-tint-of -faded-blue hair replied in a barely audible voice.
"Hilda." A girl with brown hair whispered.
"Marina." A girl with aquamarine hair replied monotonely.
"Lyra." A girl with light brown hair said in a dull voice.
"Trista." A girl with black hair replied in a pale voice.
The man nodded his head, but then he did a count and only eleven names were called out. He scanned each girl to see who didn't answer. His gaze landed on a girl with hazel hair.
"I…don't know." The girl said with a sigh. "But it starts with an. . .'E.'"
The man nodded. "I hope you are willing to help us take care of you—"
"We will." Misty replied.
"But we get to choose," Leaf said.
"who we will stay with." Hilda ended.
"That's fair." The man nodded. "Now come along. It won't take too long." He opened the door and gestured for them to go.
After some tests on each girl, they had found some interesting things. Looks like the scientists didn't really do anything to them besides did tests and injected some fluids into them which turned out to be toxic waste. At the results, the boss man cursed and slammed his hands.
How can they be so cruel to little girls? They treat them like they were objects, just a thing to be experimented on.
But as more results were printed, it showed that some of their genes have been altered a bit. No real damage for now, but who knows what can happen to the girls.
"It's okay." Blair tugged on the angry man's pants. "It did no life threatening damage." She stared up at him with dull eyes that now seem warmer.
Immediately, the man calmed done and bent down to be on the same level as the girl. "And how do you know that." The girl lets go of the man's pants and retreats to the other girls.
"Because we just know." Dawn answered.
"A feeling." May added in.
The man nodded and can only trust the girls to their words. After all, they are the ones that have extreme dormant powers.
The following week, all twelve girls have begun to be livelier and have more personality. Although they didn't know each other for long, they became sisters according to what the boss man have seen.
"Have you chosen who you want to be with?" the boss man asked.
Each girl nodded and held out a photo. The girls did research all the of the agents in the agency. Actually, it was more like they hacked the system and did a search on all available agents and found ones that they liked. Out of all the agents, twenty two were picked.
Misty held out a photo of a man with black hair. He was not part of the candidates, but a different one that she seemed to be interested. He was married and already had three daughters.
Leaf held out a picture of a woman in a lab coat with glasses. She was in her high twenties and was one of the scientists of the agency.
Dawn held out a picture of a woman with dark blue hair much like her own. The woman was smiling and had a gentle smile.
May held out a photo of a man in his early twenties. He had dark blue hair, not like Dawn's, and was one of the stronger and more skillful agents of his age.
Hilda holds a picture of a woman with brown hair that was darker than hers. She had done research and found out that this woman had a son that was about her age.
Eranee, the girl that didn't remember her name, had chosen a picture of a man with dark brown hair. He was married and had quite a few amount of children.
Trista had chosen a man that looked adventurous. To tell the truth, he was an agent that did a lot of undercover and went everywhere.
Marina was holding a photo of a woman with dark blonde hair. Research shows that she was sort of like a seductress, but she really doesn't do it as part of her job. No, the blonde's job was to simply distract.
Lyra was next and she chose a woman with auburn hair who had it in a low ponytail. The woman runs a poke daycare as due to family business.
Clarissa and Victoria, they had grown close to each other and decided to live together. They chose a man with coal hair who own a large company. One of the companies that support this agency,
When the boss man looked at the only remaining girl left, she held no picture. "And who do you want to go with?"
Blair looked down and fidgeted a bit. "I was…hoping to go…with you." She looked up and did a puppy dog face.
The boss man was surprised. First the girls go and hack the system and half of them picked agents that weren't candidates. Then there was a fact that two of them decided to be with each other which didn't really bother him since Clarissa and Victoria looked alike in a way. Now one of them wants him? These girls sure are interesting. "Why?"
"Is it a no?" she looked down cast and played with her foot.
"Hmm…" the man thought about it. It was kind of a big deal since he was the boss of this place that he inherited. It was a family business. But the problem was, how was he going to keep an eye out for her when he is busy.
"Umm…" the girl hesitated. "I was j-just hoping to join the family. You can just hire someone to look after me, but I want to be in your family."
"Well…" the boss man thought about it some more.
"You can always get your brother to do it." A voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked up to see who said that. The girl with grey-brown hair stepped forward. "You have a younger brother correct? If he is family, then he should be qualified to take care of her."
"Yeah." Hilda agreed. "And Blair did say that she wanted to be part of your family."
"So can you please take her in." May pleaded with a puppy dog face. The other girls backed her up and it looks like her had no choice.
"Do I have a choice?" the boss man ran a hand through his hair.
"No." the girls giggled happily. One of the only times the girls got lively.
"Okay." He agreed. "But you have to remember, they will only act as your guardians and family. You will be put on files that you are part of their family, but you have to understand that until you are same, you cannot act of the ordinary." He lectured to which the girls nodded. "And another thing, if they choose to adopt you, then you have to give consent and adoption papers will be done." Again the girls nodded in understanding. These six-year-olds are way too smart for their age. "And lastly, you will all have to say good bye to each to for now."
At this the girls' face dropped. "These agents are part of other regions as you know, and their homes are spread out apart. But don't worry, at the age of ten, you will all come back here to have a reunion for sure."
"You girls will be leaving in a month's time. Until then, enjoy yourselves."
"Okay." The girls chorused.
~Four Years Later~
"Welcome back girls." The boss man greeted. All twelve girls from four years ago were present. They had grown a lot and that could be said the same for his adopted daughter Blair. By now, all the girls had been adopted by their chosen agents to be part of their family. Papers made it official, but most files will still say that they are part of the family without the adoption part.
So far, only a couple attempts were made to get the girls. The attempters were all erased of their memory after the agency got information on who had sent them. By now, the girls had also found out and mastered their powers.
In the last two years, the girls have been through a small training to help build up until the time came.
"How will you girls like to become part time agents?" the boss man asked.
The girls blinked in surprise before all sporting a huge smile. "Of course!"
"That's what I thought, training will start in a week and you will all be traveling around a bit." The man instructed. "By now, you should all have gotten your starter pokemon, yes?"
"Yup."
"Good, now I have gifts for you." The man smiled. He gestured for them to follow him and led them to a room where there was a long table with twelve poke eggs in a container on top. "I know that you have your starter, but you will need two pokemon. These are all starter eggs which will be due very soon. They will be your secondary pokemon." The man explained.
The girls' faces were excited and they crowded around the table to look at the eggs. When they came close, they saw that name cards were placed by each container. Looks like the pokemon was already picked out for them, but who cares since the name cards were their pass into the building and agency.
"I know you are disappointed a bit, but we, your guardians have chosen each starter with you in mind. When they hatch, you'll see what pokemon you'll get. But until then, take care of them. And Lyra,"
Lyra looked up from her egg.
"You're in charge of this assignment. I want you to teach them how to take care of the eggs." Blair's dad (boss man) said.
"Okay!" Lyra chirped cheerfully. She continued to inspect the egg for a moment. "I think I might know what my pokemon is."
"Really what!/Don't spoil it." May and the boss man said at the same time.
"Sorry May." Lyra apologized. "Okay Mark." Lyra said to the boss man now known as Mark.
"Phooey!" May snapped her fingers in agitation.
"So what do we do now?" Leaf asked, leaning against the table while glancing at her egg from the corners of her eyes. She already had a pretty good hunch on what her pokemon would be.
"Enjoy yourselves. Go train. Meet people. Introduce your pokemon. Spend time with each other. The list goes on you know." Mark said with an amused smile. "But at the moment, I do suggest you meet each other's pokemon then figure it out after wards. Now if you would excuse me, I need to get back to work." With that, the boss man left while the girls said bye.
As soon as the doors closed, the girls were chatting excitedly again.
"I think it's about high time that we meet each other's pokemon." Hilda proclaimed. "So come on out Snivy!"
"Squirtle!" –Misty
"Bulbasaur!" –Leaf
"Charmander!" –Victoria
"Totodile!" –Marina
"Chikorita!" –Lyra
"Cyndaquil!" –Trista
"Mudkip!" –Eranee
"Torchic!" –May
"Piplup!" –Dawn
"Chimchar!" –Clarissa
"Oshawott!" –Blair
"I think it is a bit crowded here." Blair stated as her pokemon was playing with the others and not to mention that the eggs could be in danger. Blair picked up her container and headed out with the other girls following her lead.
They decided to just go to one of the unoccupied training rooms. There, they talked and caught up while the pokemons were among themselves. Each girl talked about her life up until now.
Ever since four years ago, the girls had been cautious most of the time but eventually learned to just live a normal life. They had gotten livelier and obtain their personalities that were once dull and emotionless. Now what will await in the future?
The girls are ten and their journeys begin, both as trainers/whatevers and as agents.
