Me: *Hums a happy tune*

Green: What are you so happy about?

Me: Hmm? Oh, nothing really. Just have a tune stuck in my head.

Green: Right.

Me: Anyway, you should be happy!

Green: Why?

Me: Because this is when we discover the true identity of Vulpix AND Growlithe!

Green: You realize you just gave the plot of this chapter away right? *Deadpans*

Me: WHAT!? *Slaps self*

Green: Yep.

Me: Nooo! *Falls to knees*

Green: Yes.

Disclaimer: ThePokemonPress does not own Pokemon.

Me: I can't believe I gave away the plot!

Green: Its not like its that shocking. Its pretty obvious who they are.

Me: Meh, point taken.

Green: … Did you just agree with me?

Me: Yeah. So?

Green: ….

Me: Okay then… Here's the story! Enjoy!

Green: *Thinks: I must be dreaming. No wait, if I was dreaming then that be creepy. So this is real. Damn.*

Me: *Looks at Green* I have no clue what's going through his head… but anyway… ENJOY!


((Professor Oak's Lab- Around 9:00 pm))

It had been three hours since Vulpix confessed. No, not Vulpix, Yellow. Vulpix was Yellow. Then, to matters even more confusing and weird, the Growlithe turned out to be Red. Weird since no one even knew he'd been kidnapped.

((Flashback- Three Hours Ago))

"… Because I'm right here…" Vulpix said quietly. Only Blaine and Growlithe weren't surprised by this.

"W-what! You can't be!" Blue said in shock. Vulpix seemed extremely nervous, shifting uncomfortably where she sat by Growlithe, who glared at Blue.

"Are you saying she's lying?" he asked, starting to get to his feet. Though the Vulpix/Yellow set a paw on his shoulder. "Its okay… I don't blame them…" she said quietly. Growlithe looked at her and sighed before sitting back down.

They remind me of Red and Yellow… maybe the Vulpix IS Yellow… Blue thought sadly. The Vulpix/Yellow turned to Blaine, "You believed me without question when I told you… Why?" she asked, clearly confused. Blaine started to say something but Oak interrupted him. "Hold on Blaine. You knew that this Vulpix was Yellow?" he asked, giving the other man a hard look.

"I should explain. It will clear everything up," Blaine said simply. "You see, the reason I didn't question Yellow once she told me is because that is what Project Ultimate is all about. Turning strong Trainers into Pokèmon and then wiping their memories so that they can be the perfect slaves. Though the project was long since forgotten when you destroyed the Saffron HQ. I was, to my knowledge at least, the only one with the plans and blueprints for the serum to transform human to Pokèmon, and back again."

"Hold on. Your saying there's a way to change Yellow back?" Blue asked, her blue eyes wide. Blaine hesitated before nodding. "Yes, however, I don't know if Team Rocket used the same blueprints as I have, or some other kind."

"Well, you could take a sample from our blood to look at," Growlithe said. The humans all looked at him. "What? Did you think I was a Pokèmon before this? I was taken in this very town!" Growlithe, well, growled.

"You were?" Oak asked, eyebrows rising. This was news to him. Growlithe nodded, "Yep. I was on my way here Professor. Didn't you think it strange that I never showed up?" Growlithe asked, his voice suddenly sounded similar to…

Eyes widened. "RED!?" everyone (except Yellow who already knew) said at the same time.

Growlithe rolled his eyes. "Took you long enough," he grumbled. "Well you can hardly blame them. They didn't even know you were taken!" Yellow told him. "That's another thing. How the hell did you not know that?" Red asked, looking very annoyed.

((End Flashback))

Okay, so two of their best friends were Pokèmon. They could handle that. But the fact they didn't even know one of them had been kidnapped (even though it should have been made clear after four months) was what they couldn't handle.

Man, and they call Red dense. ((A/N: How the heck did they not know Red was kidnapped? He was going to see them FOUR MONTHS AGO! Seriously people! You call Red dense too…))

"Okay, so now we know what Team Rocket wanted Yellow for… sort of," Blue said slowly. "But Red?" she asked, looking to Blaine for answers.

"Isn't it obvious? Red's a Champion. Project Ultimate takes the best Pokèmon Trainers, turns them into Pokèmon, brain washes them into slaves, and uses them to control a Pokèmon army. It is, in a way, the best way to command a Pokèmon army." Blaine explained.

"Take Trainers that are said to be the best, turn them into slaves, and there you go. You get generals for the army," Green spoke up. He nodded slowly, starting to understand why Team Rocket had done this.

"So the real question isn't why the took Red, its why the took Yellow. No offense Yellow, but you don't really like to fight, and your levels are fairly low ((A/N: That's what they think…)) until you get upset about something." Blaine told the russet fox.

Yellow shrugged, she knew it was true, to a point. "I don't know why they took me. Though I did overhear something about a 'power source that never fails' from one of the scientists," she told them. Oak frowned, "A power source? One that never fails? No such thing to my knowledge at least, other then the Sun… oh my," he said, his eyebrows rising.

"Yes, I was just thinking the same Professor. The only power source that could never fail is the Sun. Why though, I'm not sure. Perhaps to power the brainwashing machine? I do not know. But we must find out. Red, Yellow, if either of you remember something, anything, that you overheard, tell us. Okay?" Blaine looked at the two former-humans.

"Of course," Yellow said while Red nodded in agreement.

"Say Red," Blue turned to the now-Growlithe boy. He looked up at her curiously. "Yeah?" he asked. "How did Team Rocket get you?" she asked. Red paused, it was hard to tell if he was hesitating or not since the two humans-turned-Pokèmon spoke with telepathy and not their mouths. Unless, of course, they were speaking to each other in their Pokèmon language.

Yellow shifted some, looking faintly guilty. Her amber eyes darted to Red, then to the ground as she shuffled her paws. Red, on the other hand, just glared at the wall as if it was annoying him.

"I don't want to talk about it," he said finally, turning away and walking off. Blue glanced at Green, who frowned. It wasn't like Red to hold something back like that. What could have happened back then?

Blue's eyes drifted to a certain amber-eyed Vulpix. She was looking down, avoiding the questioning gaze of her friend. Watching the Vulpix, Blue thought she knew what had happened.

"I'm going to take a nap," Yellow said quickly, seeing Blue's eyes on her. She turned and hurried out of the room. She didn't pay any attention to where she headed once outside the Lab, she just ran.

Guilt lay heavy on Yellow's heart. It was all her fault Red had been taken and experimented on. Why had they taken her? It was clear. They had only taken and experimented on her to get at Red.


Me: Err, Green? You okay?

Green: … *Thinks: I can't decide if its better this is a dream or real! Both are terrifying!*

Me: Umm… okay then. So anyway… Please review! I love them! Oh, and by the way, I was asked if I knew Giovanni was the leader of Team Rocket again in the HGSS arc. Sorry peoples, I haven't read that one yet. Besides, I think it could be fun having someone else lead them to their doom! *Evil laughter*

Green: That's it! If this is a dream wake me up! If its real life, kill me now!

Me: What?

Green: *Pinches self* Damn it! Its real!

Me: Umm… okay then. Moving on. So yeah, that's why Recon, my OC, is leader and not Giovanni.

Green: Review.

Me: Please! Peace out! *Signature peace sign*

Green: Not a peace sign.

Me: No one cares!

Green: Obviously.

Me: Meh. Bye peoples of the world! Till next time!
