I realize that in my first chapter I said "Professor Maple" and then the rest of the time it was "Professor Cedar". My mistake. For all that wish to know it is supposed to be Professor Cedar not Professor Maple. Sorry for the confusion and thank you all who reviewed. Sorry for the long wait. Computer crappy problems and a whole bunch of crap to do are the cause. Darned mom telling me that homework is more important than fanfictions. Oh well, on with the commenting.

In the Last Chapter:

"Yes Ma'am. I'll hurry." The orange-eyed girl replied as she ran out the door. It only took her about five minutes to get to the lab. She entered into a pitch-black room. "Professor Cedar? Professor? It's me…Kitsune Akatora!" She heard a gun click, loading, and froze.

"Don't. Move." A deep voice called from one side of the room. She suddenly felt a burning sensation in her neck, as if the flesh was being peeled back and replaced with lava flowing into her veins. She cried out in pain, before collapsing, unconscious. The man, dressed in all black came out and looked at her.

"Phase one is complete, four more to go. It is time to meet your destiny, young one."

A small moan came from a small form underneath the covers of her bed. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself back in her own room. She sat up slowly and put her hand on her head, wondering what happened. She remembered going to Professor Cedar's lab and then a gun and then nothing. She heard indistinct voices, then strained her ears to listen.

"I'm telling you, Kuroi, I went in my lab and found her on the floor. I don't know what she was doing. I didn't call her there or anything!" She heard Professor Cedar's voice sounding desperate. She heard her father scoff.

"Then how in the world did she get into your lab and pass out? I trust you Matthew, but this is so hard to believe." He sighed. She heard her mother's worried voice next.

"Is she going to be alright? She hasn't worked up yet? Has anyone checked on her? Oh, Kuroi, what's going to happen to my baby?" Mai asked, her voice on the verge of tears.

"I'll check on her, Mai. You calm down." She heard that man, Taiyou's voice. He must be a family friend, for her mother to trust him so much. She heard his hand on the doorknob and shakily got to her feet. The blonde-and-black-haired man opened the door and saw her about to collapse. He quickly reached a hand out to steady her.

"Careful now…steady…Why don't you sit down?" He asked soothingly. She nodded, dazed and sat back down on her bed. He sat next to her, a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Can you tell me what happened?"

"Professor Cedar called…but I don't think it was him…It didn't sound like him. But I went to his lab anyway. When I got there it was really dark. I called out, saying it was me, but then I heard the sound of a gun click and this bad pain in my neck and that's all I can remember…"The flame-eyed girl said softly.

"Well, is your neck okay now?" He asked her, concerned. Kitsune started, and then pulled her shirt down to feel her neck. She felt around her neck and didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, except for some raised skin in places. When she looked up to say so she saw Taiyou looking at her funny. She tilted her head to the side.

"What's wrong? I feel fine?" She asked, now a little worried. Taiyou merely reached around her and took her small mirror from her bedside table. He held it up so she could see the side of her neck. When she caught a glimpse of it in the mirror, she started again.

"I…I've got a weird mark on my neck…" She quietly murmured. The mark was a small flame with four small dots surrounding it. Now she realized when she touched it, it was burning, like a fire inside her. Taiyou reached in his pocket and pressed something into her hand. It was a small, black oval-shaped object. It had her mark on it!

"This was found on you when you passed out. I have a feeling it may answer a few questions. Try it out?" He suggested, obviously curious. Kitsune, being curious as well, ran her hands over it. An odd feeling gathered in her chest, building. She stood up shakily, her eyes glazed over. Her finger touched the center of the flame mark on the pendant, then went and touched the center of the flame mark on her neck.

"Pokemew identity number one!" She called. "Mew Kitsune! DNA merge!" The world around her went black and her eyes glowed bright orange. All at once, her clothes burst into ribbons and went away from her, then automatically came back, forming a new outfit. She had on a shirt with no sleeve on one side and a long, open sleeved one on the other side. She also had flared-out Capri pants and ankle-high boots. The shirt was black with orange trim and the pants were the same. The boots were black. She also had orange fingerless gloves. Sprouting out of her head were creamy colored fox ears and out of her tailbone came nine cream-colored fox tails with brown tips. Her eyes, that had been a bright fiery orange, were now a dark, fall-leaves colored orange.

"DNA merge completed! Mew Kitsune born!" She called before the glazed over look in her eyes disappeared. She shook her head, then looked down at herself.

"Cool!" She cried when she saw the tails. She felt the ears on her head and grinned. "Isn't this insane Taiyou-san? It's like amazing!"

"It seems as if you've been given a new destiny, Kitsune. I think we need to talk to the Professor and your parents about letting me train you as a pokemon trainer."

"Really?" Her eyes lit up. "My own pokemon journey? This is awesome! Come on, let's go!"

Well, that's it for that chapter. Here's a quiz for all of you!

What Pokemon has Kitsune's DNA merged with?

Anyone who answers correctly gets that pokemon's plushie! Good luck to all participants!
