I fell to the floor. I had no feeling. I heard voices and footsteps.
"Pick him up and throw experiment 436 into his cell. We shall see what has become of him later." Two big hands grabbed me and dragged me away (from what I could hear). I tried to open my eyes, but they would not respond.
My body was completely numb and I could feel nothing. They threw me into a cell and locked the gate. I could still use my nose, and this place reeked of blood and other strange smells I could not identify.
I heard the sounds of pokemon from somewhere. Too many sounds were present to figure out how many, or what kind they were. Then I heard human voices.
"Look's like we got another one." A man said.
"Damn this place and all who work here." A woman said.
"Such harsh words, Jane," what sounded like a younger girl said.
"Oh, zip it, you know this place should burn." The women known as Jane said.
I still could not move, not because I was numb, I could feel now. But now, I could tell my body was in extreme pain and with eyes shut and not moving, came sleep.
I awoke, who knows how much later, to the sound of the gate opening. My body didn't feel as tired as before and I could move now. Before I could, though, Hands grabbed me and threw me onto some kind of platform. I tried to struggle but their strength was too much. Whoever they are, they take my hands and legs and shackle them.
I snapped my eyes open at this point and looked at the people who had shackled me down. Each wore light blue suits with same color helmets. On each of their chests was a Red 'R'. Who knows what that stands for?
I looked at what I was being held to. A steel platform with handrails in front and in back, which were being pushed by the men, and of course shackles holding me to it. I could move a bit and stand, but that was as far as it went.
I then looked around, seeing cells of many varieties. An E followed by numbers were engraved onto each of the top of the cell frame door. On the steel or whatever the door was really made of, was a window and about 1 and half feet below that was a rectangular opening. That was most likely where food was place through, to whatever was inside it. The rest of the cell was made of glass, or most of them were.
Inside most of the cells were Pokemon. There were too many Pokemon to identify them all. Some were birds or lizards but I could not name them The men pushed me down the well lit corridor to the exit. The gate opened up and they pushed me out. I looked at the new corridor quickly and saw more doors such as the one I just exited from.
They turned and headed down to an archway with a sign on the side of it. With yellow and black stripes it said:
Experiment testing labs
Experiment Termination station
Sleeping Quarters
Lunchroom
They turned to the left and a glass door opened up. Many scientists and computers were lined against the wall. Most typed crazily and called orders to others. I was led aside and they unshackled me and threw me into an enclosed area. There was only one window with a few scientists typing and talking.
I stood up and looked around. The ground was made of dirt and very few trees grew here, only four from a quick count. I saw one of the scientists hit a button and a gate to the right of me slid open.
A pokemon waited on the other side. A strange white and green pokemon stepped through. A red horn-like thing came from its head.
One of the Scientists spoke into the microphone. "Gallade, use psyshock now!"
My voice some how found itself then, "Wait, what?"
The Gallade's eyes turned purple and it raised its hand at me. A quick purple blast shot itself at me. Instinctively I put my hands in a defensive x in front of me and closed my eyes. The blast hit….
…and I felt almost nothing…
"Gallade, use Psychic."
This time a more powerful and larger purple blast came at me. I closed my eyes again and repeated my action. I felt it hit again….
..and again nothing happened…
I lowered my arms and wondered why I wasn't getting hurt. The scientist ordered it again with different Psychic attacks. I forced my arms to relax and my eyes to stay open as another blast came for me.
The blast simply dispersed as it hit me.
"Excellent, now Deren," I understood that name to be mine, "I want you to fight this Pokemon-"
"What? Are you crazy? Why would I fight a pokemon?"
"I was getting to that, fight this pokemon, and if you don't we will kill you." He took out a gun and loaded it.
I reluctantly obeyed, turning to the pokemon I ran at it with a raised fist. I punched the Gallade in the stomach. I saw something strange in that punch. What looked like darkness escaped my hand a second before it connected.
The Gallade coughed up blood as it staggered back. Defensively it started throwing psychic attacks in my direction. They merely dispersed as they touched me. A thought occurred in my head. It was to lift my hand and focus power into it.
It was mostly instinct that told me to do it, and though I had my doubts, I raised my hand and did my best to do such. Energy as if from nowhere started to form around my hand, a black and purple ball soon came into existence.
"Amazing, learning that this fast!" I ignored the man's words as I launched the ball and it quickly met its target: the Gallade. The Gallade fell as the attack exploded on contact and fainted.
"Alright, that's enough take him out of here."
I heard a button pressed and a strange sensation hit my body. I didn't hurt at all but I still felt it. Two men ran at me from the entrance. I raised my hand and tried to repeat my action from before.
Nothing happened as the two men forcefully grabbed me and dragged me back to the platform. I struggled to free myself but the men were too strong. They shackled me down and pushed me back to my cell where they threw me in.
I turned around and saw other people in the cells around me. I saw a young girl of about 14, an older man of maybe 40, and a woman of maybe 25.
"Hey, what's your name?" The young girl asked. She had long brown hair with green eyes.
"I…..umm… My name is Deren. Where are we?" I stammered.
"Hell if we know," the older man stated. He had slick, short black hair with brown eyes.
"My name is Lilya, his is Luthor and hers is Jane."
"Well enough of the introduction," the women named Jane spoke. She had red hair with blue eyes. "All we know of this place is they've been testing us and altering our DNA or something like that. As a result, all of us, though we're not sure of you, can perform attacks from pokemon."
"What?" I asked astonished.
"Yeah, the same reaction from all of us when we figured it out." Luthor said.
"Well, whatever type they placed into you, you act like that type, reacting to weaknesses and resistance."
"Well, I fought a Psychic pokemon and its attack didn't affect me." I responded, still trying to absorb what they said.
"Then you're probably a Dark type or something." Jane said again.
"Well what is your type?"
"Water," Jane responded.
"Grass," said Lilya.
"Fighting and rock," Luthor said.
"So I'm guessing there is no chance of escape?" all of them shook their heads.
I looked around at my cell, a simple bed and a sink with cups, a toothbrush, and toothpaste. I walked over to it and looked in the mirror above the sink. I had grey-white hair (just imagine Riku from Kingdom Hearts) and brown eyes. I didn't realize until now, but each of us had the same orange suit on. I felt like a convict in it.
I sat on the bed and tried to think this all out. I could remember nothing before yesterday, I sat trying think of anything from before, but could not. "Why can't I remember anything?" I yelled in frustration.
"Well, none of us can, they erased our memories."
"Great," I groaned.
I heard the door at the end of the corridor open up. Guards wearing the same light blue jump suit walked in holding machine guns.
The ten of them opened our gates and told us to follow them. I obeyed without question as did the others. They led us to the end and took the other path from which I took earlier.
They led us into another enclosed area filed with gym equipment, tennis rackets, along with a tennis court, Basketball court, and other such things.
"So, what today?" Luthor asked.
"Let's ask the new guy, shall we? Deren what would you like to do?" Jane questioned.
"Huh? What is this place?" I asked.
"It's a Gym for us to be in and have fun. I don't know why its here, but I'm not complaining. As long as we are here, oh well."
"Um, I guess some tennis?"
"Sure," Lilya said, grabbing my hand and leading me to the court.
We played a game, young ones against the ancients (Lilya laughed at this). Me and Lilya dominated.
We beat them 12-3.
After the game they lead us to our cells and shut off all the lights. I searched around in the dark and tried to find my bed. I crawled in and went to sleep, wondering how I got here, in this strange place.
Elsewhere….
"We are going to find out who is responsible Mrs. Xevious," A young girl said determined.
"That's right; no one kidnaps Deren and gets away with it!" A dark haired boy said.
"Let's go get him back," Another boy said, "We will throttle the person responsible!"
