The entire room was composed of technology. The walls were stainless steel and lined up with computers, scanners, TV screens and radios, and at every table there were beakers, test tubes and experimental chemicals. Jackie, Aaron, and Lance hurried into the room where Judy was waiting and pacing back and forth in the lab. Mewtwo elected to stay behind and meditate.
"There you are!" She said in an exasperated voice once they came into view. "Took you long enough!"
"Judy where's the fire?" Jackie quipped once she started dragging him to the main computer.
She turned back so fast that he had to take a step back. "This is no time for jokes Jackie; this is big, even by Team Rocket's standards.
"Judy what's going on?" Lance asked realizing the severity of the situation.
She said nothing, she merely turned around and pressed a few keys and an arrangement of charts, graphs and notes appeared on the screen.
The only person who could understand any of the pages was Lance, and once he digested what he was reading a look of shock and horror reached his face.
"Lance what's wrong?" Aaron asked.
"He's…he's…" Lance sank into a nearby chair hiding his face in his hands.
Jackie immediately knelt in front of Lance and put his hands on his shoulders.
"Lance listen to me." Jackie said in a serious tone and shaking him slightly, "You need to pull yourself together and tell us what's wrong."
Lance took a deep breath and looked up.
"They're experimenting with cloning again."
"I don't understand," Aaron said finally speaking up, "Haven't they done this before?"
Lance shook his head, "Not like this they haven't, they've only been using Pokemon DNA and they're clones were meant to enhance a regular Pokemon's ability."
"What's so different about this experiment?" Jackie asked.
Lance moved his head back to Jackie, "They're experimenting with human DNA."
Jackie froze, "What?"
Judy turned back to the computer and raised her arm to point specific charts and pages.
"Most of these pages consist of the Journal feeds that Dr. Fuji entered as a way to document his experiments." She explained. "He was the one who originally founded the theory of cloning."
"Isn't he the man who created Mewtwo?" Lance asked remembering the research he did on Mewtwo.
Judy nodded, "Yes, his original purpose for the cloning experiments was so he could bring back his deceased daughter. She was on of the four clones that were originally created during the experiment but out of the original four only Mewtwo survived.
"So the now the guy's trying to create human life?" Jackie asked incredulously.
"No Jackie," Lance corrected, "Fuji died in the initial explosion on New Island, when Mewtwo was first created, but Team Rockets decided to take his research and use it for their own gain. I wouldn't put it past Giovanni."
"That's not the only thing," Judy said, "They've already got an experiment underway; they're already in the process of creating it."
"How can they already create a new clone?" Aaron asked, "I thought that process took years."
"Normally yes," Judy explained but this isn't some normal DNA."
"Why?" Jackie pressed, "What makes this DNA so special?"
Judy looked uncomfortable sharing it; Lance saw this and took the liberty of doing it for her.
"Because it's your DNA." he said turning to Aaron.
"What!" Aaron cried.
"What do you mean his DNA?" Jackie cried at the same time.
"When we first brought Lucario and Aaron back to life, we had to take samples of their blood and DNA, to make sure everything was in order." Judy explained, "I called the base at Viridian to see if they were still in the storage freezer, they got back to me and told me that they were gone."
"How can they be gone?" Jackie demanded, "Didn't you have security down there?"
"Of course we did!" Judy snapped, "We took all of the necessary precautions!"
Lance decided to intervene before things could get too ugly.
"Jackie did you ever bring Chris down to meet with Aaron or Lucario?" he asked.
Jackie froze when he finally realized the truth. He slapped his hand on his forehead.
"He must've snuck into the labs and taken the samples." Judy clarified, "Team Rocket probably paid him off."
"This is all my fault." Jackie whispered.
"Don't go blaming yourself Jackie," Aaron said walking to the exit, "We have bigger worries on our hands."
"Where're you going?" Judy called.
"I'm calling Lucario," he answered, "I'm not taking any chances; I want him and Ash at the base as soon as possible."
The others stood in silence all taking in what had they had just discovered.
"You realize someone's going to have to tell Mewtwo about this." Lance said.
"It ain't gonna be me." Jackie said immediately. "I spend almost every field mission with him, that's risky enough."
Team Rocket Labs.
Location: Unknown
The Main Science Labs for Team Rocket was located in a place so remote, not even the world's most powerful psychic pokemon could find it. Giovanni wanted to ensure his greatest plan would not be foiled, he spared no expense at the physical, and mental protection of his labs.
The Labs were located underground, the ground was so fortified by magnetism no psychic beings could penetrate it. It consisted of all the necessities of a lab, computers, test tubes, beakers, experimentation tables, even a housing unit for all the scientists.
A TR grunt approached before Sebastian and Tyson as they were conversing about Jackie's discovery.
"Sirs, it's time."
Sebastian immediately sobered up and waved Tyson away, "We'll finish this later."
Tyson nodded and left the room, while Sebastian followed the grunt.
"Sir," One of the assistants eagerly approached Sebastian, "It's finally happened he's waking up."
"Silence!" he commanded, "We must all be quiet, we don't want another incident like New Island."
The team of scientists immediately quieted, then beeping could be heard. They all looked towards the test tube which held the object of their fascination.
Eyes slowly began to open.
His first though was 'Who am I?'
He had no memory. He didn't know who he was, where he was or how he got there. He was surrounded by water. He lifted his hands and reached out but he was stopped by an invisible force. (FYI it's actually glass, but he doesn't know it. Picture him in the same situation as Mewtwo when he was born.)
He could hear voices but he couldn't understand what they were saying, finally man approached him. He was of average height and build with short black hair and studious glasses. He was dressed in all gray, he said something, and it felt like a command. Suddenly all the water he was surrounded by was gradually disappearing. He took a deep breath once the water cleared his mouth and nose, and he slumped to the ground once all the water was gone.
His invisible prison was lifted and he could move freely, he looked to the black-haired man that stood before him.
"Who are you?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
The man knelt in front of him and gave him what appeared to be an attempt at a warm smile.
"My name is Sebastian." He answered, "We're very happy to meet you…Riley."
Well, there you have it! Riley is a clone.
What do you guys think?
R&R pretty please!
