A/N: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Bet you've missed me right? I haven't updated in ages, this piece has been lying in my computer unfinished for ages. Well now you get to read the complete version ^_^ I've also changed a few other things to the way I write :P
Disclaimers: Do we have to go through all this again? I don't own Pokèmon, yadda, yadda, yadda.
More awake
I love Him! I love him! I love him! Now can we get on with getting Airia out? –reflection by Ember.
The Professor wandered into the Pod Room and was greeted by the dark looking man.
"He…hello again" he said, a little startled that he had returned so soon.
"I see we have a few out" he said.
"Yes" said the Professor as he walked up to him.
The dark man had his attention transfixed on one of the pods, the creature he had spoken to earlier that day.
"She still has yet to make any movement."
"That's too bad, I would of liked to see her full potential before I make any plans but, if that is not to happen…" he turned to the Professor. "So which are awake?"
"Umm" said the Professor racking his brain for the names of the current mobile creatures.
"Out with it man" said the dark man, agitated.
"Well lets see, there's the Pigeot girl, very strong she is too, then there's the Charizard boy, I yet to know any information on him but I will shortly. The Arbok boy is of a very high quality and lastly there is the Ninetales girl. She seems very wary, but Jale seems to get on well with her"
"So that makes four then?"
"Yes" replied the Professor nodding.
"Then that leaves eleven?"
The Professor did not hear him. He was busy looking at one of the pods that still held a creature. It wasn't moving very much, just a little, the spear head tail twitched, a pointed ear flickered and a clawed hand moved slightly. The Professor walked over to the tank and looked inside. He was shortly joined by the dark man.
"Which is it?" asked the man.
"Errrr, I think it would be ummm………" said the Professor, having no idea which was in Pod number one.
"That's the Houndoom sir" said an assistant, currently monitoring another of the creatures inside the pods. "The other one we created using a human. You remember don't you Sir?"
"Errrr, why yes of course! The Houndoom boy!"
"So? Why aren't you going to get him out?" asked the dark man.
The Professor mumbled something, while the assistant got all the necessary equipment for removing the Anthro from the tank. Soon the boy was removed from his tank and taken away for examining. The Dark man and the Professor remained in the pod rooming, looking at the rest.
'I want out now!! I have enough of this! Get me out!' screamed a voice inside her head.
'Shush, be quiet, you'll be out soon enough' replied a voice.
'NO! I want out now! Get me out or I'll do it myself!'
'Calm yourself.'
"Look! Another is awake. I know which that one is! Quick, fetch my the special equipment. This one must be handled carefully. One wrong move and she could destroy the entire complex!" shouted the Professor to anyone in the room.
'Now look what you've done. I said keep calm' 'I don't CARE! I want out! OUT! OUT! OOOUUUTTTT!!!!'The voice sighed.
'Fine then.'
"Ah, so this is one of the finer examples of your achievement" said the dark man.
"Why yes it is. Created completely from only the DNA we had in our laboratory we have managed to create the Pokèmon-Anthro you asked for. Well one at least" replied the Professor.
The dark man laughed.
"Well this is good."
While the two men talked, the other was being taken out of her tank. They were careful with this one, each wearing protective clothing from electricity. Slowly she was removed and then taken away to another room to be examined. With two more out it left only nine to be removed, and as the two men spoke, another was awakening.
The jade eyes stared out from within the tank. Long green hair floated around in the stasis fluid as the creature moved around. Around the neck, a set of strange petal like things were growing and moved as the creature moved. The Professor turned, only just to notice her staring out. He grinned with delight, then a tapping sound could be heard coming from another tank. It sounded like metal against glass. The Professor turned and saw another of his creations looking at him.
"It seems that they are becoming more active now" said the dark man as he walked up to the tank with a girl with a light pale grey skin.
Her hands looked like any normal human hands, except for the fact that she had only two fingers and her thick, long finger nails were metal. On her forehead and chest were these elliptical yellow gems. She had long pink tipped ears, one longer than the other and red eyes that glared out into the world. She tapped harder on the glass tank.
"This one? Which is she?" asked the dark man.
Another assistant walked up and looked in at the creature.
"Oh, she's the Sneasel" she said. "Oh No! If she bangs any harder she'll break the glass. Quick, help me get her out!"
'Sneasel? What are they talking about?'
'You're a Pokèmon. A dual ice and dark type. Your metal claws are breaking the glass' answered a voice (A/N: Guess who?)
'Dual ice and dark?'
'Listen, all will become clear, you just have to listen, you will understand. We understand things better than they do.'
'We…we do?'
'Yes, just don't fight against them, you'll get hurt otherwise.'
'Hurt? They'll cause me pain?'
'Yes'
'Why?'
'You're a threat to them'
'Why are you helping me?'
Silence.
'I asked why are you helping me?'Once again no reply.
"He is?" Jale asked, slightly shocked at what she had said.
"Of course. Not only that, he has plans for them. That's why they're stronger. It's also why they understand much faster than they should do" was the reply.
"Plans?"
"That's why you can't get any closer to her than you already are Jale, it'll make it worse if she doesn't survive."
"What do you mean by that!?"
"I see they haven't filled you in much have they?"
"I don't know what your talking about Sam! What is he going to do with them?"
"You remember the Mew Project don't you?"
"Few do, but yes, I do."
"Same idea."
"He's going to make her fight!?"
"Yes."
"He…he can't!"
"Not only that, he's funded for a special Anthro to be created."
"Which?"
"I don't know that much."
A small, spiky brown haired scientist wandered in. Glancing at the Anthros, then at Jale and Samantha
"Dr.Daleos is wanted in research room seven for inspection on the Houndoom." He said in a rather squeaky voice.
"Houndoom?" came a silky voice from the other side of the room.
"Jale, it's up to you to explain to them, like you've done before. But don't tell them about what's going to happen, we don't want them worrying."
Jale released a long heavy sigh as Samantha and the other scientist wandered from the room, leaving him with the three Anthro-Pokèmon.
"What's going on Jale?" inquired Ember.
"Oh nothing for you to worry about" lied Jale. He hated having to lie to her, but if he told her she might get upset.
"Oh…ok"
He walked over to them and sat down next to Ember.
"So what were you all talking about?"
"Bret wasssss telling usss about a voiccceee weee all have heard and how sssshee helped him"
"A voice?"
"Yes, she spoke to each of us. She told us many things. At first neither Bret nor I listened to her, but she offered guidance."
"So she's spoken to you all?"
"Yea" said Bret, after his momentary silence.
"So she's awake?" he muttered, half to himself
"I don't know, she said she didn't know what she was" Ember said, hearing what Jale had said.
"Huh? Oh it's ok, nothing to get worked up about" he said, jumping slightly.
'Damn, I hope they haven't taken her out yet, there are worse things they could do to her' he thought to himself.
