I do not own Pokemon or the Pokemon owned by Pokemon XD
The first thing it knew was consciousness. It didn't know it was conscious, it didn't register anything. It didn't -or rather couldn't- register it was alive. It couldn't process anything. But it remembers distortion, like staring into another dimension beyond compression. It was in something, a dimension of its own behind thick glass.
Blurred figures stood behind the distortion, moving, odd shapes blurring to format things. Lights blinked rhythmically and muffled machine beeps reached past the barrier.
It didn't stay like this for long. Only a few moments before consciousness faded. It knew nothing still, until it regained light. This time it was more clear, more defined. It could feel, process what it saw and heard. It was suspended, a dimension it knew not of the sensation of breath. Completely still, with wires attached attached to its body floating among bright green fluid. The distortion remained, a blurring barrier. It remained still for it did not know how to move, how to make the things it felt go to where it wanted them too.
There was a faint shout, one of the figures waving a long stick like appendage. It watched as more of them gathered, looking in at it.
Then there was a shock, and for the first time the creature felt pain. It was not great- it was a small shock- minor discomfort. It did not know what to do, what the feeling was, and it had no time to dwell in it as it lost light again.
When it awoke, the world it knew was fading. The distortion that sustained it was draining, leaving. It slowly moved with the liquid, it's body moving closers to the ground. The creature felt more emotion now, fear and confusion.
The liquid was e..ventually gone, leaving it lying limp on the cold metal bottom of its world. It could see clearly, too clearly. Things were sharp and bright, and it did not expect this change.
The glass that separated it's world from the rest began to move stiffly. It lifted, letting a cold air burst into the chamber. The creature shivered instinctively, it's body moving for the first time.
People with white coats surrounded it, some making small movements on a white pad, some looking at it. It was odd, how the creature suddenly knew the difference. Between it and humans. It stared back, unsure of what to make of this.
One of the humans stood out the most. A small boy with blond hair and a black hoodie with red rims. He was the only one with color, the only one who seemed real.
The boy reached out. His hand came closer and closer. His innocent green eyes shone with wonder and admiration. The creature could do nothing, nor could the scientists as his hand landed on the sharply turned, beak-like muzzle of the creature.
It was warm. It never felt warmth, but it knew this was good. Calming, safe, the feeling of life pulsing from that tiny hand. The creature stiffened, then relaxed, much to the scientists relief. The boy smiled softly and rubbed his hand up and down the creatures silver muzzle, and the creature could feel how soft the hands were.
The creature made a noise, its first sound. It was a crooning noise that had a metallic ring to it and ended with a sharp note. It made the scientists flinch, and scribble something on their notepads, but the boy just smiled.
A tall man with shallow cheeks and dark eyes stepped forward. "Alright Gladion, that's enough. Your mother should have taught you better than to randomly pet in-progress experiments. What if it bit your hand off? Get out and let us do our work." His voice was harsh and annoyed, and it scared the creature. It lowered it's head and stared at the man with sharp eyes.
This new emotion, anger, was overwhelming. The creature could feel it's body twitching, it's muscles wanting to move without knowing how. It let out a sharp growl, but it was so quiet no one could hear.
The boy, Gladion, turned towards the scientist. " My mother's more worried about me ruining the experiment rather than getting my hand bit off. Besides, if I'm not allowed to show this thing some kindess, who will? " He spat. His eyes were challenging, waiting for someone to give him an answer. One or two of the scientists looked down.
"Tch, like it knows the difference. It's not human, and it's our job to get this experiment over with and present the results. Not pet it and feed it Poffins. Now, leave and take your childish ideas with you."
Gladion huffed and turned to the creature. He layed his hand on its muzzle again and leaned in close.
"Don't worry, I'll be back." He whispered softly. Then he stomped out of the lab, turning to give the tall man a long glare before leaving through the sliding metal doors.
The creature watched Gladion leave, wanting to follow. But it's body wouldn't move. It cried out, but no one did anything. The creature would always remember how helpless it felt, sitting on that metal platform while the first bit of kindness it ever knew walked out the doors.
"Alright, put that thing back to sleep so we can do some scans. Also send these files up to president Lusamine. Tell her that experiment no.1 type full is operational as far as basic body functions go, But We haven't checked the RKS system functionality, or the state of the skeletal and organ systems."
The tall man gave a yellow folder to a brown haired woman, who hurried out the doors. Another scientist hit a blue button on the metal platform and the creature felt instantly drowsy. It fought this feeling, not wanting to go into the dark again, but there was nothing it could do as its consciousness left it once again.
Out of all the new alolain pokemon, Silvally had to be my favorite, which surprised me. I refrained from looking at most of the new info, so I could be surprised, but I knew about Lycanroc and was crazy over it. I love Lycanroc, but when I got Silvally it quickly became my new favorite alolain pokemon, and second favorite pokemon over all (Manectirc is my favorite ^_^) and I thought it would be interesting to write a fanfic based off of the files in lab A in Ather foundation. I'm not sure how often I will be updating, but reviews are appreciated! I also have a pokemon creepy pasta that I would like some criticism on. Check it out if you have time :3 have a great day, and good luck shiny hunting! (I chained a shiny rockruff!)
