Ch. 3

Ash woke up with a big yawn. He looked around his surroundings as he got up. 'I must have escaped from Team Galactic. But I must have been inured while I was escaping so Dawn and Brock sent me to the hospital.' Ash thought as he got out of bed.

To his right Ash saw a medium sized window next to a bathroom. The door was closed and the window had a gate on it. 'That's weird.' Ash thought. Then he walked over to a counter desk that was to his left. A few feet from the desk was the door that lead out of there.

He saw his clothes were on the desk along with his Pokeballs. On his clothes were a note. 'Dear Ash, sorry but we had to take off your clothes to observed you and Dawn. Your clothes were already ripped so here's a new set.' The note said. Ash looked down to see he was in his underwear, strangely he didn't notice the red and black partner on his stomach or the yellow bump-like things on his sides and two ring likes bumps on his legs, not to methionine his claw like feet.

He put on his pants. Then he began to put on his shirt, it phased through his wings but the bumps stretched his shirt. Then he put on his jacket, the bumps had the same effect on the jacket and when it was fully on, his wings ripped open two holes. Then he put his hat on. 'I wonder who wrote the note and what did it mean they observe me and Dawn?' Ash asked himself.

Then he walked over to the bathroom. 'Maybe if I freshen up my head would feel better.' Ash thought. When he reached the mirror the bathroom had over it's sink, he didn't like his reflection. His hair was still black but it had gold highlights in it. He wings were showed and they looked a lot like a Giratina's wings, they also reminded him of angle wings but black.

Then he notice the bumps, so he unzipped his jacket and lifted his shirt. There he saw the stripped pattern and the yellow bumps from earlier. He released his shirt and re zipped his jacket.

'What the hell happened to me?' Ash thought as the information went to his brain. 'And how do I even know that word.' It was true he never learned it before, so how does he know it. He then raised his hands to clutch his head but fond two gray and gold claws with his gloves on. His right claw was covered in blood. His head began to hurt more. Then he hold it with the blood covered claw.

(Flashback.)

Ash grabbed the hand with the shot. "What the?" The scientist said. Then, with his right hand, he stabbed him in the chest. Then he reclined his hand. Then... Thud. The dead body fell to the floor.

(End of Flash back.)

'Did I really do that?' Ash asked himself. "I need answers. Brock probably knows." Ash said as he exited the bathroom. Then he heard Dawn scream.

(In Dawn's room.)

Dawn had just woke up and seen she was in a different hospital room than Ash. She sighed as she was saved. 'Was it all a dream? No it was too painful to be a dream.' Dawn thought. She went to a desk in her room to get her hair done. Unlike Ash's desk, this one had a mirror installed in it. Dawn screamed as she saw her reflection. She had blue skin, had a thing on her back that looked a lot like a Piplup's(I don't know what to call that thing), and she was in her undergarments.

(Back in Ash's room.)

Ash ran to the door that leaves that room. Unfortunately it was locked. He began to bang on the door. But it didn't work so he tried to barge the door. Just when he was about to hit it he phased through the door. 'That was weird.' Ash thought as he got up.

He looked back to the door he phased and saw a note on it. "Quarantined?" Ash read. Then he remembered Dawn, right next to his room was another door with the writing, quarantined. He suspected it was Dawn's and opened the door. To his relief he saw a fully dressed Dawn with blue skin. "Dawn?" Ash asked. "Ash?" Dawn asked.

"What happened to us?" He asked. "We didn't escape from the Galactic base. They gave us different looking shots then they mutated us. I fainted from the pain an hour later." Dawn said. "Lets find Brock, Pikachu, and Piplup. Maybe they can help us." Ash said. Then they followed arrows until they reached the lobby. It seems the nurses didn't notice them.

When they reached the lobby a doctor came up to Brock. "What did you find out?" Brock asked. "I'm sorry but it would take months to find a cure for them. We'd probably lose their human sides by a couple of weeks." The doctor said. Ash and Dawn realized that they were talking about them. Ash punched the wall in anger. Dawn just stand there in shock.

Suddenly a stretcher came through the lobby's doors. To their surprise it was Paul and he looked really yellow. Then the doctor ran with the stretcher. Ash walked to Brock while the doctor didn't notice them. Dawn followed Ash. "Hey Brocko." Ash said. "Ash? Dawn? Is that really you?" Brock asked. "Pikapi?" Pikachu asked. "Piplup?" Piplup asked. Dawn and Ash did look really weird.

"Yep it's us." Dawn said. Ash agreed then he said. "Brock what happened to us?" "We have to speak in the Pokemon center's rooms, then I'll tell you. Right now we have to leave and you guys need to hid. People might freak." Brock said. "Bye." Then he, Pikachu, and Piplup left. "Bye." Ash and Dawn said. "Ash, we have to leave soon or the doctors might find out we left our rooms." Dawn said. "Uh-hu." Ash agreed. Then they left too.

They were about to sneak their way to the Pokemon center when Ash noticed something and freaked. "Ash what's wrong?" Dawn asked. Ash pointed to the shadow on the wall. "Ash that's just your shadow." Dawn said. "Yeah but it's different that yours." Ash said. "Your right. Mine is weird looking but yours look exactly like a Giratina's. That's weird." Dawn said. "Uh-hu." Ash said. Then they entered the center.

"How may I help you?" A nurse Joy asked. "We'd like to know if a trainer named Brock room is." Dawn said. "You must be friends he's in room 4a." Nurse Joy said not recognizing them. "Thanks." Ash said. Once they reached the room Dawn said. "This is the same room when we stayed in." "Yeah. If only Team Galactic hadn't arrived or I'd have my eight badge." Ash said as he remember he and the gym leader promised to battle each other the next day after Ash raised his spirits by battling Flint. "Yeah and we would be on our way to grand festival." Dawn said.

Then they entered the room. It didn't look any different than any other room. Brock was on the computer desk since it was the only natural seat around. Ash and Dawn sat on the beds. "So what happened to us?" Ash got to the point. "Well it was when we were captured. Me and your Pokemon escaped. But it was around an hour before Jenny arrived that's around the time Dawn stopped screaming. I told her the situation and she called reinforcements. It took an hour for them to get her and a few minutes to searcher the place. It seemed Team Rocket was helping Team Galactic get back on their feet but when they fond you guys. You were in a room full of dead scientists." Brock said.

"Dead? But when I was contest they were alive." Dawn said. "I know. Someone must have killed them. Not to mention whoever did that killed Jupiter, Saturn and the boss of Team Rocket." Brock said. "But what about Mars, Jessie, James and Meowth?" Ash asked. "Mars was missing and the trio was sent to jail for minor damage. They should be out by now." Brock said. "How long were we out?" Dawn asked. "A few weeks." Brock said. "Aaah." Dawn screamed. "I missed the Grand Festival." She cried. "And the Sinnoh league is in a few weeks. I can't show up like this." Ash said.

"Is there anything else?" Ash asked. "Well the scientists and doctors tested your blood and fond you were cross-DNA with Pokemon." Brock said. "Dawn got crossed with a Piplup." "Now that you mention it Dawn does look like a Piplup." Ash said. "And Ash you were crossed with your Charizard and an unknown DNA." Brock said. "But he looks just like a Giratina how could it be unknown." Dawn said. "Yeah and I don't feel like a Charizard." Ash added.

"Well what ever Ash really is looks like a Giratina but isn't and the Charizard part is hidden inside his body so he won't feel it until something happens." Brock said. Ash didn't like that. "Sooo... what did that doctor mean when he said we might lose our humanity by a few more weeks?" Dawn asked. "Well what ever that crossing did you become more and more like a monster than a human or Pokemon." Brock said. "That's totally scary." Dawn said.

Then Ash got up. "I can't stand it and I won't let it happened. Mars is still out there and she's probably knows how to do this and cure it. We must find the cure." Ash said. "Yeah." Dawn said. "Yeah. May and Paul maybe the only other victims now but what Mars knows could save theirs and yours lives." Brock said. "Yeah." The two agreed.

And with that the gang was on a mission. A mission that will go beyond what they want to make sure they can have a normal life. But someone from a forgotten past has return and whatever he's planning isn't good.

That's the first Part of the story. What will happen next.

And sorry it's so late. I got side tracked.
