A/N: A Siren is not a fish like creature, if you've ever seen Siren from the Final Fantasy games, the Pigeot girl looks similar to that, but more Pokèmon like, you know Pigeot colours. The hybrids are created from DNA of human and Pokèmon, none of them were ever human. Now are there any new questions you wanna ask or shall I just get on with the story??
Disclaimers: I do not, under any circumstances have any ownership or any other form of a ship of Pokèmon but I own Jale and Samantha so don't pinch them, oh and I own my story!
What is love?
So I'm a dark Pokèmon! That doesn't mean I don't care! I feel the same way as Ember and the others. I think your judgement is clouded Airia, clouded by hatred. We can't fight the way you want us to, we should just escape, not attack, attack, attack. – reflection by Damien.
Ember sat on a stool opposite Bret with Venom standing behind her. They were talking about things, mostly about the voice and other things that Jale and Samantha didn't really understand. Samantha looked at Bret.
"I can't believe that he's part of my Charizard" she said. "He seems so much different from mine."
"I wouldn't know, I never met your Charizard" replied Jale.
Samantha turned back to Jale.
"You care for them too much don't you? More than you should."
He nodded slowly.
"There's something I feel for them, especially Ember. Something I never felt before. I know it may seem weird, even to you, but I have these strange feelings deep inside my heart about Ember. When I look at her my heart seems to miss a beat"
"I don't believe it Jale!" she said, slightly angry.
"Don't believe what?!" he asked confused.
"You've fallen for your own creation, well not so much your own, but you've still fallen for her!"
"What! That's just not true Sam!"
"Suuuuuure it is! Your heart misses a beat. You have strange feelings deep down inside for her!"
"That's just not true!"
"Yes it is Jale. You love the Ninetales Anthro and your too proud to admit it!"
She folded her arms and smirked at him.
'He loves me? What is love?' Ember thought to herself, over hearing the conversation between Jale and Samantha.
'Love is a good thing. It's a more powerful emotion than trust, but trust is still needed' came the voice once again answering another of Ember's questions.
'I…I still don't understand'
'Love is difficult to understand. It can never be understood fully, not by anyone'
'So no one understands love? But why do they love?'
'No one knows. Somewhere deep inside the emotion lies and is released by another, usually when the other feels the same way about you'
'But how does this emotion feel?'
'I don't know. It cannot be explained'
'Then how will I know that I love?'
'You just will know Ember, you will know'
'I don't understand'
'Like I said, love is difficult to understand, no one will ever understand it'
'So Jale feels this emotion for me?'
'Yes'
'Why?'
'I do not know, it is too difficult for me to explain, or even understand for myself'
'But I thought you knew everything?'
The voice laughed slightly.
'No one knows everything Ember, not even me'
'Do you know love?'
Silence.
'Well do you?'
'……'
'You don't do you?' asked Ember agitated.
'…………'
'How can you explain love to me when you've never loved someone yourself?!' Ember seemed very angry.
'You wanted to know so I told you what I knew. Bret knows all I know because I let him. I knew some of you wouldn't be able to cope so I help you in some ways, like your question on love'
'Well if Bret knew I should of just asked him!'
'I tried to answer your question, I did Ember, but now you hate me for helping.' The voice sounded as if she was crying.
'I'm sorry if I upset you. I didn't mean too, I just said what I thought'
'Its ok, I only try to help'
'No, it was all my fault, I'm the one that should be sorry. But if you don't know love then how could you try to explain it?'
'From what I learned from others'
'How?'
'Like I teach you, I learn similar to you, but in a different way'
'Different way?'
'When I have a question I scan the minds of the humans for answers, that way I know what they know'
'Scan their minds?'
'I don't know how I do, but I look inside their minds and read their knowledge'
'Am I able to do such a thing?'
'No I'm sorry Ember but you cannot'
Samantha looked over at the hybrids. Only Bret and Venom were talking now. Ember seemed to be thinking.
"I wonder what she's thinking about" said Jale.
"Probably you" she replied smirking.
"That's not very funny Sam"
"Well its true isn't it?"
He did not reply.
"Awww, is Jale to embarrassed to admit that he's fallen in love with the poor little Ninetales girl?"
Ember looked over at Jale and smiled. He smiled back at her a little. Samantha laughed at him.
"There! Proof positive!"
"What?"
"You only smiled a little at her, meaning you knew exactly what I was on about. Don't worry Jale, I won't tell anyone."
He did not reply, but continued to look at Ember in wonder.
'How can I love her? She's barely a day old and she's a scientific experiment. I bet she doesn't even know what love is, I'm positive the Professor left that out of their knowledge' thought Jale to himself.
"Thinking again Jale?" asked the midnight blue haired doctor.
He looked at her. They had been friends ever since he was young. When ever he had a problem, she always helped him out. She was like a sister to him. They had grown up together, but she became a Pokèmon trainer while he went on to study Pokèmon behaviour. Neither of them knew that they would both end up working together as scientists, especially since Samantha took a stronger liking to science than he did. Looking over at the hybrids he saw something that he had seen before. An unbreakable friendship, something he and Samantha had, something that could never be forgotten. He admired them.
"Admiring her are you?" asked Samantha.
"All of them. They've bonded with a powerful friendship"
"Like ours?" she asked, a little shy.
"Yes, quite"
Samantha looked at them.
"They remind me of us. Remember there was you, me and Gio"
Jale shook his head at the reminder of a once good friend.
"You do know he's funded this entire thing?"
