Project X
Chapter 1: The Beginning of The End
Team Rocket HQ - Giovanni's Office: 23rd October 2037
Giovanni stood at his desk, surrounded by executives and scientists. As he listened to the idle chatter of his companies most important people, his mind began to wander. He thought about his life, his achievements, his failures... Mewtwo, for instance. What a mistake. And yet, it had opened a whole new area of science: Hybrids. As he scanned the screens of data on the table, he wondered how the newest project was going. Project W. A whole project dedicated to fusing Pokemon together to make a stronger being. Imagine a creature of immense power, capable of destroying the soundest structures! Or a being with no weaknesses, like the recently popular type grouping, Ghost/Dark. As Giovanni's thoughts strayed, a huge explosion rocked the buildings. Giovanni suddenly snapped out of his daydream, and sighed. He knew all too well what that explosion meant. Another failure. He watched dismally as a charred scientist crashed through the doors into his office.
"What is it now, Johnston?"
"A Charizard was injected with DNA from a Venusaur, but... well, needless to say, it didn't go well."
"Oh, for Arceus' sake, what happened?"
"Well, sir, the DNA began to destroy each other and wouldn't fuse correctly, ultimately ending in the demise of the fusion and that explosion."
"And have we made any progress?"
"No, sir."
"At all, since the beginning of Project W?"
"No, sir."
Giovanni thought for a second, before pressing a large red button next to his chair.
"Attention all Team Rocket," boomed Giovanni's voice from the speakers in every room in the building. "Abort Project W. Repeat, abort Project W.
Giovanni sat down, and ushered everyone out of his room. He thought of the money being wasted on stupid failures like this. It was obvious after nine months of failure that fusions weren't going to happen in the nearby future. He still wanted to create new, powerful creatures though. He thought once again of Mewtwo, of it's immense power, it's search for a purpose after creation, it's humanoid shape... Suddenly, an idea hit him. What if he could combine humans and Pokemon? He could make them powerful, program a purpose to serve Team Rocket into their brains, and wipe their memories. They would be able to use Pokemon moves and abilities, but speak English and have a human brain as well!
"Attention all Team Rocket," boomed Giovanni's voice once again. "Begin Project X. Repeat, begin Project X.
A short chapter, I know, but I wanted to get this started before my inspiration floated out the window. Also, this is my first fan-fiction, so please don't be too hard on me.
