NOTE: I added something to chapter six. It was on a different page in my notebook and I skipped it when I typed everything in. Go back and read it if you haven't already.

Alright, I am very pleased with how this is going. The reviews are encouraging, so I'll try to keep them that way. I think I might just add an OC, if anyone has any ideas. So, without further delay, here is chapter 7.

Chapter 7: A New Character Appears!

Dr. Martin arrived in the hangar just as the helicopters were landing. The crew disembarked, and two of the agents pulled out a mesh net that contained a squirming young girl. She was kicking and screaming, which meant that the tranquilizer had worn off. Good. There had to be no other medications in the blood stream for the formula to work. Dr. Martin walked over to the agents.

"How'd it go?" he asked the commander.

"We were able to take her up with almost no noticeable activity," the man replied. Dr. Martin became furious.

"Almost no noticeable activity?" he asked. "I said no one is to see the abduction take place. What if someone saw you?" Dr. Martin began talking frantically. "What if they traced the serial number of the copters? What if then they looked up the purchase date and customer. They could then trace the address to here. We'd be finished. YOU COULD HAVE JEPRODIZED THE ENTIRE PROJECT BY-"

"Dr. Martin!" Dr. Martin turned around quickly to see Dr. Harvey standing at the observation rail. "It's fine. We got rid of any purchase info on those helicopters years ago. Relax." Dr. Martin chuckled to himself. Brian was one to always be the mediator. Even in grade school. Turning back to the new arrival, he thought he should introduce himself.

"Hello, little girl. My name is Dr.-OUCH!" Dr. Martin was interrupted by a kick to the face. Damn these children. He backed away, and motioned for the agents to take her away. As she was carried to the elevator, she yelled at the doctor.

"What are you doing? Where are they taking me? What's going on?" Dr. Martin chuckled and muttered to himself. "You'll find out soon." He proceeded up the stairs to the viewing platform. As he approached Dr. Harvey, he saw that Brian was smiling.

"Why must we always use children?" Dr. Martin asked. Dr. Harvey chuckled.

"Because I love to see you get your ass kicked," Dr. Harvey said. "No, it's because children under 16 are the most susceptible to the serum. It would be very difficult to create a formula potent enough for adults." Dr. Martin nodded.

"So, that was our girl. Brandy Harris, age 11. Favorite pokemon is absol." Dr. Martin skimmed through the file.

"Really? That's quite a coincidence," replied Dr. Harvey.

"A coincidence? Brian, really?" began Dr. Martin.

"I was joking. God, Zeus, you need to lighten up sometimes."

"Would you be bright and happy if you knew that at any moment the government could swarm in and arrest you for tampering with genetic code?"

"I'd be happier than you," replied Dr. Harvey. "Besides, that was pretty funny, the way you got kicked by her."

"Shut up," Dr. Martin said. "She's just a little hyper. That'll help her later, though. I've got to prepare the procedure lab, as a matter of fact. See you around."

"Yeah, whatever," replied Dr. Harvey. Dr. Martin walked through the doorway towards the lab. As he left, Dr. Harvey muttered "sheesh" under his breath.

As Brandy kicked the doctor guy in the face, she felt a pang of satisfaction. As he backed away, she was hauled off into an elevator. As she ascended with her guards, she wondered why it was so important that this place be kept secret. She was answered as the group passed by a large window. A field was visible on the other side. And on the field were none other than pokemon. She recognized three of them, charizard, pikachu, and lucario, but the other three were strange shapes that she had never seen before. No wonder the security was so tight. What if those guys got out? Her view was cut off as they proceeded into a small room, which looked to be some sort of lab. She was taken out of the net and strapped to an examination table. The guards exited the room, and she was alone. Why did they take her to this place? What were real pokemon doing here? Who was that doctor guy?

The lights turned on, blinding her momentarily. The door opened, and in walked the same doctor guy from before. Instead of a lab coat, he was wearing a black tee shirt and black pants. A pistol was in a holster on his belt. Obviously he was taking precautions against her. There was still a mark on his forehead. She smiled.

"I see you are still energetic," he said. "Good, good. That'll help you later."

"What's going on here?" Brandy asked.

"Well, to put it short, you are going to undergo a procedure." replied the doctor.

"Don't I have to sign some forms for that or something?"

"No. This is a special type of procedure. It's a shot, so you aren't getting surgery." said the doctor, who was getting irritated by all the questions.

"Do I get a lollipop or something when this is done?" she asked, further angering the doctor. She loved to annoy people.

"Oh, you'll get much more than you could ever imagine," he replied.

"Well, what-"

"No more questions!" he said sharply. "Now, before you go to sleep, let me introduce myself."

"Honestly, I don't care," she told him.

"Well, too bad. My name is Dr. Zeus Martin. I work for the department of defense's Soldier Enhancement Team, or SET. You are part of an experiment to see whether regular soldiers can be genetically modified to use superhuman powers."

"Wait, then what were those pokemon doing in that field place?"

"What? Oh, er...well...shot time!" Before Brandy could react, Dr. Martin shoved the needle into her arm. She became very drowsy, and fell asleep.

Lucario swung another punch at me, hitting me square in the chest. Normally, this would've hurt...bad. But with my new poke-stamina, it felt like a moderate thump. Even so, I could tell I was doing a poor job at combat training. It was recess again, and all the pokemon were training with their "kids."

"You have to anticipate your opponent's next move!" Lucario yelled at me as he punched. "Watch their movement carefully. You'll see patterns." This stream of advice went on for another five minutes before I finally figured it out. I saw Lucario's muscles tense up, and something clicked inside of me. I knew he was about to punch from the left. As he swung, I blocked the punch with lightning reflexes. He smiled. "Excellent! Again!" he shouted. We repeated the pattern another six times when suddenly, I struck back. He swung at me, and instead of blocking, I dodged it and my hand made contact with his chest. My aura was forced through my palm, and Lucario was flung across the field. I was in shock. My hand was glowing blue, and Lucario got up and walked over. "What was that?"

"I have no idea!" I yelled back. He was really angry. "It just happened. You punched at me and I punched you! I didn't try to, it just happened!" Lucario pondered this for a moment, then he realized something.

"I think that you have some pokemon instincts," he said. What? That's terrible! Lucario is taking over my mind!

"Don't worry," he continued. "It's only slight. You're like Bernard. His instincts only appear when he's fighting."

"Who's talking about me over here?" Bernard walked up to us, with Pikachu on his shoulder.

"I was," Lucario said. "It seems that Ray has the same situation that you do."

"Ah," Bernard replied, 'It sucks. You can't control your fighting."

"What's going on over here?" asked Matt, walking up. Charizard came up behind him. With everyone in a group like this, an idea came to me.

"Hey, Lucario," I said.

"Yes?"

"Now would be the perfect time to explain that magnificent plan of yours."

"Oh. Well, you see..." He was interrupted by a high-pitched voice from behind us. We all turned to see a girl standing in the doorway. Her outfit resembled that of an absol. Oh great. Dr. Martin has done it again.

"Hi, guys," the newcomer said. "What's going on?"

And, scene. There you go. A new character has been added, and now we have a girl in the mix. Like I said earlier, if you have an idea for an OC, I'll try to get it in. If I get more than two or three ideas, I'll pick the best one. So, R&R, and keep an eye out for chapter 8, coming to a computer near you soon.
