A/N Yes, yes, I know I used a little quote from The Philosopher's Stone(more commonly called "The Sorcerer's Stone"). But I don't own either Harry Potter, nor Pokemon. Just enjoy, as secrets are revealed(well, sort of...some are true and some are fake, you figure it out), questions are created, and surprises occur! That was kind of…corny…I know…

Shishido was in total shock. Carlos? He was the one with the Hariyama?! Shishido backed away a few steps, but Rockets surrounded him. They all probably had silver-eyed Pokemon, too.
"S-Char!" Shishido turned his head in time to see a Pokemon exit its Pokeball. He suspected a Charmander, but it looked completely different. Its skin was fiery-red, and it had long, sharp claws. Two fangs stuck out from its lower lip. Its wings were starting to form, and the tail was blazing a white fire. It had two, bony horns sticking out of its head and its eyes had faded to a dark-grey, but the iris remained silver. There was a blue scarf around its neck, but it looked tight, and like it would fall off any second.
"S-Hound, use Body Slam!" The unnatural Houndour-thing leapt forward, crushing everyone under it. This caused Paralysis status. S-Hound was returned to its Pokeball, but several more were let out. One was a strange bird-Pokemon(presumably "S-Pidge"), a dragon-thing(S-Dragon), an owl-Pokemon(S-Owl), another bird-Pokemon(S-Atu), and yet another bird-thing(S-Arrow). Each Pokemon carried one Pokemon/trainer. And, of course, the destination was clear.
They were all heading towards the Team Rocket Base.
As the Pokemon carried them towards A06, Shishido looked at Kiba. Kiba gave him the look he gave him when Shishido first turned into a Densetsu. Knowing there was no hope, Shishido closed his eyes and tried to relax. Whatever awful things happened to him from hereon, he was sure he would either lose his sanity as he was turned into an experiment or just die. He couldn't be lucky twice. No one can. It's just impossible. This was the end.

X was walking back to his room. He, of course, was still feeling depressed.
Suddenly, he felt something.
It was a very strange feeling. Somewhere between Intuition and Happiness. It just pushed his sadness away, and made him almost forget about Ryuu.
Then, he saw 6 strange-looking Pokemon, each holding someone. It seemed somewhat odd to him, but he just assumed this was regular Rocket business. But when his eyes affixed on a boy, everything seemed to go into slow-motion.
Why does this boy feel so important? X thought, now a few feet away from the Pokemon. He continued to stare at him. The boy's eyes were closed, and his body was relaxed. He looked dead, in a way.
As X passed the boy, he realized he was inexplicably familiar. He stared at the ground as he walked.
But who? Who could he be?
There were only 5 boys he had seen in his whole entire life. Domizu, Dokuchi, Dochi, the boy he saw next to the green Pokemon that gave him his human form, and—
Kazeku!
And who was Kazeku? X asked himself, shaking. He had stopped walking, and he was starting to smile for the first time in a long time.
RYUU!
He whipped around. He half-flew to the group of Pokemon, knowing Ryuu was in there. But…why was he in his human form? And why did he look asleep? Or maybe even…dead?
It didn't matter. What did matter was that Ryuu was finally back, from…somewhere, and that he actually wasn't dead, and he could see him again!!
"Ryuu!!" The group of Pokemon stopped and turned around. "Ryuu, Ryuu, Ryuu, RYUU!!!"
"Halt." One sternly said, its voice devoid of emotion. It looked somewhere between a Charmeleon and a Charizard.
X stopped, his wings flapping frantically as to not bump into the Pokemon. "Huh?"
"You may not pass at this time." It said in the same, almost zombie-like tone.
"But I just came from that direction!" X whined. Ryuu was finally back, and these Pokemon weren't letting him see him.
"Access is prohibited. You may not pass at this time."
"But—but—why?!"
"Please, do not attempt to travel in this direction."
"You're still not answering my question!"
"Do not pass, or we will have to take force." It stepped forward, letting the girl it was holding drop to the floor. At first X took a step back, but then he realized if he were ever going to se Ryuu again, he had to fight.
"Fine!" He could take on a few weird-looking Pokemon easily. He assumed a stance. The rest of the Pokemon, except for the dragon-thing who was holding a Tyrannitar, let the things they were holding drop to the ground. The spiky bird-Pokemon(who looked somewhere between a Spearow and a Fearow)flew forward faster than a speeding Electrike. With many attacks X didn't even see, he fainted in about 3 seconds.
"Pathetic." The Charmeleon-Charizard muttered before picking up Kazeku. All the other Pokemon picked up the thing they were originally carrying as well and started for A06 once again.

Shishido, although having his status condition, saw X. He had been defeated as easily as a little Caterpie. He easily understood why, too. Substance FP not only completely fulfilled the target's potential, but also did something equivalent to making the Pokemon keep evolving, and evolving, and evolving.
Only, it was slower. But it was still nonstop, and the Pokemon would keep getting stronger and stronger until it would become stronger than any legendary. And best of all, it would be completely under control.
But then again, no one had proof. They only had proof of its early stages. Because of Giovanni's impatience, it might cause his downfall.
Actually, not just his, but the world's.
But that's just an approximation. Nothing for sure. Of course, although you can be too careful it's always good to be correct. For approximations to be precise. The world doesn't work like that, unfortunately. No one can be completely sure. The most we can do is guess, and the closest guess is called a "fact". Therefore, mistakes exist.
However, this doesn't mean the Silvers will go out of control. Oh, no. They're controlled enough.
However, there is one Silver that will betray the will of Giovanni…
But it hasn't been created yet. Nope. Besides, you probably want to hear the rest of the story, anyway.
The Silvers threw the status condition-inflicted humans and Pokemon onto the floor. As a goggled scientist walked in, the Silvers straightened up and awaited orders.
"Hello, again." He coolly said. His voice was as familiar as it was smooth. It wasn't just familiar to Shishido, but to Kiir and Synekko as well. And yet, for some reason, Synekko was smiling, a somewhat sinister smile.
"Hello, Kuroyno." Synekko just as smoothly said. The shyness present in her usual voice wasn't anywhere to be found.
"I won't make the mistake Giovanni might make," He said with the same tone, Synekko still smiling. "I'm going to have to kill you."
"Oh, come on, Kuroyno," Synekko said almost playfully, "you know I would never do anything unwise."
"Wait…What's going on here?" Shishido asked, glancing between Synekko and Kuroyno.
"Don't tell me you're as stupid as I think you are," Synekko said, her voice with this joyful little ring to it, like telling Shishido his food was poisoned without him knowing.
"Synekko…?!"
She sighed, annoyed. "Baka. Didn't you realize I never left Team Rocket?"
"What the—What do you mean?!"
"Were you expecting—" She imitated being scared of him. "—Poor, little, scared Synekko? I'm not the girl you think I am. I'm with Team Rocket, and I always will be."
Shishido thought back to the early memories of his time as Ryuu. He remembered Synekko scared, shy, frightened. Was that just an act? If it was…
Then that meant she suffered worse pain than him. Worse pain than any of them, in fact. She couldn't trust anyone, at all. Even now she might be at war with herself. It's terrible, not to know truly what side she was on. But right now, she seemed pretty convinced she was a Team Rocket member. As he thought back to when he was Ryuu, he realized something.
"I'm still not pure human, am I?" It would be the perfect explanation as to why he could still understand Pokemon, and why he still had those memories.
"No." Kuroyno sternly said. Not even his cold pride was present in his voice. "We never intended the Host to be separated from the Pokemon. That means Ryuu, as well. He isn't completely Pokemon, either."
"You know, Kuroyno, torture is worse than death. Why don't we do a little…experiment?" Synekko said, a grin spreading across her face. She was looking at a needle on the floor. Kuroyno caught her gaze.
"You're right, Synekko." He said, his cold pride back. He was now grinning as much as Synekko. Shishido's stomach did a backflip. He walked over to the needle, picked it up, and walked over to a patch of wall. It turned out to be a secret door. When he came back, the syringe was full of a strange, pitch-black liquid. For a brief moment, Synekko's eyes caught the faint light of the lab and shined silver.
"Hold still." Kuroyno said, walking towards Shishido. Shishido's status condition was long over, but that didn't make a difference due to the fact that S-Char was holding him tight.
