The sight that showed itself in front of the three Pokemon shocked them all to the core. The building consisted of one huge, silver walled room. Tube shaped tanks were littered around the room, holding dead or dying Pokemon in them. A machine in the middle of the room, shaped like a cube with lots of red buttons on the front, made small beeping noises and printed out paper from a slot at the back. Smokepuff floated towards the cube, reading the writing that had been printed out.

"Code elite progress..." Smokepuff read calmly, "75% efficiency. Prone to emotional outbursts. Power at 15%. Attacks: Earthquake, Surf, Sunny day, hail."

"Attacks?" Chuck yelled in surprise, "They have been bred out of all Pokemon though? Except my son..."

"Maybe there are more isolated cases of this devil gene." Smokepuff sighed, "Maybe they are using it for their own means. You know what those legendary Pokemon are like."

Chuck shuddered. "Why is this room so empty though?"

"I don't know." Keronin sighed, "We'd better make the most of it, and find your son in these tanks."

The three ran around, checking each tank for the small bidoof that was Chuck's son. The three found many strange shapes floating in the purple liquid, often many had no real shape. They just appeared to be floating blobs with eyes, eyes closed shut with pain or some other emotion. There were a few minutes of silence as Chuck stood in front of one of these blobs with tears in his eyes.

"This is hopeless." Chuck wept, "What if Emra is one of these blobs here? I'd never recognise him!"

"Calm down, Chuck!" Keronin shook his friend by the shoulders, the hand on his tail waving angrily, "You are better than this!"

Smokepuff watched the two calmly, and then turned to a button beside the tank. "Maybe if we press this..." The Haunter began, "We will find your son."

"Wait!" Keronin yelled, but it was too late.

The button was slammed down by Smokepuff's huge purple hand. From the machine in the middle, a loud ringing sound was heard. The three turned to leave, but the door that was behind them was suddenly shut and locked. The three looked around, noticing the tanks that were leaking their fluid. The strange blobs inside opened their eyes, looking towards the three with hungry eyes.

"Food?" One of them rasped. This was a pink blob with two eyes that looked like a fly's.

"Master promised us live food!" A blue one cheered. "Finally, food...not just fluid...I have been hungry for a long time."

"Now wait a minute..." Chuck stepped back, "You can't honestly be thinking of cannibalism!"

A green one with strange big eyes stepped forward. "You don't know what its like..." The green one rasped, "To be hungry...to starve and live on guts alone. You are obviously criminals, or you wouldn't be in this place!"

"Criminal?" Chuck looked worried, "I ain't no criminal! Smokepuff here may be one, but I sure am not! I am only here for my son."

The blobs chattered to each other for a few seconds. Then the pink one turned around, opening their mouth and showing sharp fangs. "You are Chuck, aren't you?"

Chuck nodded.

"Forget about your son." The creature warned, "He doesn't exist to you anymore. Just get out, forget, and thank the master it wasn't you."

Chuck jumped forward, grabbing the creature by the sides and slamming it into the wall. "What have you done to my son?" He barked.

"Not me..." The creature grinned a sadistic grin. "Master has done things to Pokemon like your son. He's no longer your son...he is the son of the master!"

"You..." Chuck started shaking from anger. "You...useless sack of shit!" The other blobs watched in shock as Chuck slammed the creature into the wall repeatedly. Blood started pouring from the creature's head, the eye closing in pain once more. "You mess with my son, you mess with me!" He slammed the creature on the ground, stamping on it with his front paws. Keronin jumped over too, stamping on the other part of the strange, soft creature until it stopped breathing. The creatures stared at the fallen comrade with greedy eyes.

"We...are not immortal..." The blue one spoke, grinning.

"Our life...it can end at long last!" The green one grinned back. The two stared on at the body for a few seconds, and pounced on it like hungry lions.

"I...I'm sorry Chuck." Smokepuff looked on sadly, "I...wish I could have done..."

"It's..." Chuck started sobbing, "Not your fault. You tried your best to help."

The blobs had just finished eating. The green was first to finish, looking at the three with a huge grin.

"Your son...he is a weapon and no more." The green grinned, "How does that make you feel? Go on...take it out on me. We all are weak in the spirits...master has put too much faith in our will to live."

"No...take it out on me!" The blue one bounced up to Chuck, "Come on, you murdering little bitch! You're going to be arrested anyway, why not do us all a favor?"

The two remaining blobs tried to corner Chuck, who stepped back. The anger had quickly washed off the normally cheerful bidoof, and now he was feeling numb instead of rage. He didn't want to kill anymore, he'd done enough.

"No...no more killing for me." Chuck stammered, "I don't normally kill!"

"You little pussy!" The green blob screamed, bouncing towards the bidoof.

Keronin and Smokepuff quickly ran over, pulling the creature off the Bidoof with a quick tug. Blood poured down on Chuck's side, where he had just been bitten. The bidoof slumped down, feeling too upset to care. Keronin growled a little, slapping the green blob with the hand on his tail. Smokepuff also relentlessly slapped the blue blob with his purple hand, growling a little as he did so. As he growled, he started glowing a strange pink colour. This pink colour also surrounded the blob, which was now screaming in pain.

"What are you doing?" The creature yelled, its white eyes bulging in pain. A few minutes later, the eyes closed and the body seemed to melt out of Smokepuff's hands.

Keronin turned around, dropping the green corpse he had just killed. "What was that?" He asked.

"I...don't know." Smokepuff stammered.
