A/N: A few things to clear up…My Pokèmon seem to know a lot because………see end of chapter 2 and beginning of chapter 3 for why! Why did the stasis fluid in the Charizard tank ignite………its different from the stasis fluid used in the other tanks, its only in the Charizard and Typhlosion tanks. And now Encore!!
Disclaimers: [A drilling sound] You know the drill! I don't own Pokèmon! [Cries] I wish Pokèmon were real!!!!!
Be nice and they'll treat you nicely
We can all be thankful for something, but what about us? What have we got to be thankful for? Torture? Pain? I don't think we have anything to look forward to. Some of them say we must believe that one day we will be free, but to me that day seems too far away. I wish it would hurry if it is going to happen. Do you think it will ever happen or will we just die believing in this 'Freedom' rubbish? – reflections by Blade.
"Keep it still!" shouted the Professor. "Tie the wings down!"
About three scientists tried to keep the Pigeot hybrid still. Her huge wings flapped everywhere and she refused to sit still. She let out huge cries that echoed around the facility. She screamed and struggled, knocking a large needle from one of the scientist's hands. Her hands and feet clawed at everything and anything. She cried, but not words, just noises of fear, anger, pain and for help. The Professor stood back shouting orders to the scientists. He looked angry and annoyed. He sighed impatiently. Stamping his foot he shouted again.
"TIE IT DOWN!! STOP IT FROM MOVING! JUST GET IT TO CALM DOWN!!"
The scientists scrambled around her and hauled her down onto the operating table. She screamed out in pain. They were crushing her wings. She kicked out with one of her clawed feet, scratching one of the scientists. She screamed out, clutching the wound.
"Stupid creature!" she said.
The girl continued to struggle, relentlessly.
"Let her go! She can't get far!" said the Professor, finally giving up.
The scientists let the girl go and she jumped off the bed. She scowled at them with her bird eyes. She was breathing heavily. Her chest heaved up and down. Blood rushed through the girls ears. She swallowed hard. Screeching out loud, she spread her wings, knocking over different items. The scientists in the way of her wings ducked and moved out of the way. She had a huge wingspan. They were magnificent wings, as was the rest of her body. Her arms were long and just like a humans, except just a little above her wrists on each arm were three long brown feathers protruding from her skin. She had an almost human face with two large black bird eyes and a curved beak. Her legs were human, except instead of feet she had huge talons like an eagles. Her long fingers were clenched into a fist. The Professor gazed at her.
"Like a Siren" said a scientist.
"What are you talking about idiot?" asked the Professor.
'A Siren?' thought the girl.
"You know sir, the great sea bird. Half woman, half bird. Our Pigeot girl looks just like a Siren" he replied.
"I know what a Siren is!" he said, looking at the girl. "She does look very much like a Siren."
"So you saw a Charizard in the pod room Ember?" asked Jale.
Ember nodded.
"It was like the picture, but not exactly. There were some differences, but they look very much the same. It was in the pod next to me" replied the Ninetales hybrid.
"Pod three hmmm?" thought Jale out loud.
"Pod threeee?" asked Venom.
"Yea, you guys were in those pods. Its what you were created in, at least I think so anyway" replied Jale.
"So that was the cold thing I felt with my tail before I woke up in the room where you came" said the Arbok boy.
"I remember now! Pod three held the Charizard Anthro! That's why you saw him Ember. When we left they were just about to remove him. He might be awake now" said Jale.
"Can we go see him?" she asked.
"If you want, if you've finished eating"
"I've finished"
"Me too"
"That settles it then. We go and see the Charizard boy."
The three stood up and Jale led them out of the cafeteria, leaving behind a very messy table. The cafeteria staff looked at the table, shook their heads and sighed.
"Those scientists get messier ever time" said one.
Outside in the hall Jale led the two Pokèmon Anthros towards where he thought they would be keeping the Charizard boy.
"Well lets see your teeth then" said a female scientist looking at the red haired boy lying chained to the medical table out cold.
She slowly pried his mouth open and shined a tiny light into his mouth. His teeth were huge and very sharp. Almost all were pointed fangs with very sharp points that could piece flesh. Shining the light around his mouth the woman counted his teeth. There were about a hundred in total.
"Well it looks like you've got a good set of teeth in there" she said closing his mouth and stepping back away from the table.
"Dr, will he wake soon?" asked a quivering voice.
She turned to look at the scientist that was clutching an ice pack to his face.
"He's out cold for now. Gave you a big bruise did he? Must be very strong then" she said smiling.
"So do you think he will be able to do what we predicted he would be able to do?" he asked.
"Of course! Well I presume so anyway" replied the doctor.
The scientist walked up to the boy and looked at him.
"Well Dr.Daleos, it seems that he looks very much stronger than a few of the others. Do you think he will be worthy of the standards the Professor has set?"
"Of course he will!" said Dr.Daleos, shocked at the question. "He is more my creation, he is from the DNA of my own Pokèmon. My Charizard was blessed with strength, speed and ability. No one could defeat him, and no one will defeat this boy either!"
"If you say so Dr."
The scientist walked off leaving Dr.Daleos alone with the Charizard boy.
"Well my dear boy, since you are my Pokèmon, I will give you a name, so it is easier to talk to you, instead of 'it', 'he' and other insignificant pronouns, especially for a creation as great as you."
She walked towards a cabinet in the corner of the room, unawares that the boy had woken up. He looked around with his green eyes.
'Where am I?' he though to himself.
'Your in a Research facility' came a voice. (A/N: One we all know and love!)
'Who? Who are you? Where are you?' he asked, looking around the room, but he could only see the Doctor.
'You cannot see me because I am not there, I am elsewhere. I am trying to help you, but you ignored me earlier' she replied.
'You! You were the voice inside my head' 'Yes, yes I was' 'Why?'
'I was trying to help you, like I try to help the others'
'Others?''The other Hybrids, only I know more than most of you, I listen, learn and try to understand'
'Hybrids? I think I know that word'
'Hybrids are combinations of more than one creature. You are a Charizard hybrid. Half Charizard, half human'
'Are you a hybrid?' 'Yes' 'What of?'Silence.
'What hybrid are you???'She did not reply.
'ANSWER ME!''I…I…I regret to say, but I do not know myself. All I know is I am half human, half something very important' she replied sadly.
'Oh. What is A Charizard?''I'll tell you, but it may seem strange as I will not speak, but you will understand'
The boy suddenly felt himself beginning to understand what he was. He didn't know how, but he was, he was beginning to understand so much.
'So I am a Pokèmon A fire type, with flying and dragon abilities'
'Yes'
'But I'm also human, a creature with no abilities such as fire or flying'
'You understand well, I knew you would, more than the others'
'The other hybrids?'
'Yes. I did not explain to the two that will be visiting you because they would find it harder to understand, but you I will tell because I know you will not feel threatened, unlike the others who are more cautious than you'
'Visiting me?'
'Yes, two hybrids are coming now and so I must go. We will meet again soon Bret'
'Bret?'
'The name that woman will give you. I must go now'
'Bret? Bret is my name?'
Dr.Daleos returned to the boy and looked at him.
"So Bret, how are we feeling now?" she said, looking at him. "Oh, your awake! I thought it would last a little longer than this but you are very strong"
The door opened and Jale walked in followed by Venom and Ember.
"Jale? What are you doing here? And with them?" she asked.
"Don't worry Samantha, they won't hurt you" he said walking up to Bret as he lay on the table.
"But Jale, they shouldn't be walking around" she said, slightly afraid as Venom looked very frightening.
Ember looked at Samantha with her huge blood red eyes, then she looked at Bret. Jale sighed and shook his head.
"Why is he chained to the table?" he asked.
"He is very dangerous. One of the scientists got hurt so we had to chain him up and send him into a sleeping state"
"You should try and reach them through their feelings to get them to calm down. It worked with Ember, and with Venom when I met him"
"Ember? Venom?"
Ember grinned and walked over to the table. She looked at him.
"Yes, the Ninetales girl is called Ember and the Arbok boy is Venom. I helped name them" he said taking the chains off Bret's huge bulk.
"You named them?" she asked
"Yes I did. Does he have a name?" he asked taking off the last chain and dropping it to the floor.
"Bret" came a low growling voice.
"How? How did he know that?" asked Samantha.
"You mean you didn't give him the name?" asked Jale.
"I said it to him, but I didn't think he was awake and I wasn't sure he would understand anyway" she replied, looking at Bret.
"So your name is Bret?" said Ember, smiling. "I'm Ember"
"I thought the Ninetales wasn't very friendly, she seems to be" asked Samantha.
"It depends. She doesn't like the Professor at all, nor any other scientists I don't think. The same for Venom. Be nice and they'll treat you nicely" replied Jale.
"I'll try from now on"
A/N: Hmmmmmmmm? Review please!
