I am just going to jump into this chapter, it has been too long since I posted a chapter so I am going to try to get this one out sooner.

In the last chapter Alex, the previous dusk form of Lycanroc was about to finish off his first gym battle against a Garados and it's trainer Maya.

Electricity was flowing through my body as I bit down, the battle was over, but I was not getting the taste of fish out of my mouth anytime soon. I did not remember being able to use thunder fang but I could now. Maya returned her Pokemon to its ball and we met with a handshake, the battle was over. "Great job" Maya told me, "I can say the same to you" I replied. Moon and Drake ran up to me, "Dude, that was amazing" Drake said clearly trying to keep himself from shouting, "How do you know a thunder type move" Moon inquired. "I don't know, it just came to me" I answered. The battle was fun, but I was going to need much more practice if I wanted to become stronger.

Alex went to talk to Carla and Drake went to ask Maya about doing an exclusive interview with him, I was left alone. I walk out to the street and began to think about everything that had happened, just about a week or so earlier in was living a perfectly normal life, so much had happened that I had forgotten how much time had past. A black van pulled up near me and came to a quick stop, every muscle in my body immediately screamed for me to run, but it was too late. The window that faced me rolled down slightly and a small dart was shot through it. The dart struck me in the shoulder, I went to pull it out of my flesh but my body went limp as my vision faded to black, I fell to the ground and went unconscious. When I woke up I was strapped to a table, I looked around the room I was in in panic. Then a familiar face appeared from the shadows, with a smug grin that I would never forget.

"Well well, it seems my strongest Pokemon has been returned to me, safe and sound" Kyle said, "What do you want Kyle" I snapped at him. "Oh, it seems you can speak English now as well, what a pleasant surprise, but I know you still have the mind of a Lycanroc" he said in the smug tone I had long since grown to hate, "But enough about that, where are my other Pokemon, I know you have them, I saw Snow in your battle against Carla" He asked me. "They hated you and never plan on returning, there is no way I will let you see them after what you have done" I said to him, he scowled at this."Very well, then I will have no choice than to make you into the best Pokemon I have ever trained once again, no doubt your human body will be a little harder to fight with than your Pokemon body" as he said this he gave me a devilish smile. "Have you ever heard of Chinese water torture" He asked me, "I heard it drives people insane if done properly, it will also be the only water you get for the next 24 hours" He snapped his fingers and water started to drip onto my forehead, if this was all I had to drink I might as well try to make the most or it. I repositioned my head and managed to catch a bit of the water on my tongue, "By the way, thats salt water you have there" Kyle said over his shoulder as he walked back into the darkness, and I spat the water out, no matter how I moved my head I could not stop the water from dripping on me.

It had been a few hours since Alex and I had seen Moon, he just seemed to wander off without telling anyone. We began to search for him along with the help of Carla and Maya, we eventually found a note taped near a road next to the gym. The outside was stamped with a large letter R and it read: "This is the perfect opportunity for us to continue our research, our last test subject that experienced a human to Pokemon transformation was broken out by his friends, but we don't need that Zoroark anymore when we have this boy who is part Lycanroc, his case may help our studies further due to the fact that he turned back into a human but retained some Pokemon characteristics, we promise we will return him when he has exhausted his use to us, or when he is dead, whichever comes first, sincerely - Team Rocket" I noticed that there was a familiar smell on the note, it smelled like a faint smell I had caught on Moon once in the past, but I could not make it out. Our senses may have still been heightened but there were not nearly as strong as they were when we were still Pokemon.

I mentioned this to the others and Alex confirmed the same thing, and we all agreed to see if any of Moon's Pokemon could recognise the smell. We sent out the two Pokemon that he seemed the closest to just for better results, I threw one pokeball and Alex threw the other, when the two red lights that emerged from them faded they left a Zoroark and Sylveon in their place. "Hey Red, hey Snow" I said to the two Pokemon, "Hey Day" They said in unison, I then realized that they still didn't know my name, or Alex's for that matter. After we both reintroduced ourselves under our proper names we told them what had happened. Both Pokemon looked distraught after hearing the news, but they happily gave the note a sniff to see if they could recognise the smell. As they took a whiff of the paper both Pokemon looked astonished and jumped back in either shock or fright, possibly both. "What's wrong" Alex asked them. They both replied with the same answer "It's Oddball..."

Well I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I'm sorry I have been slacking on updates, I just can't find the time, but as always have a good night/day and thank you for reading
