This chapter will be a bit different when compared to the previous ones. Do you remember Bella? Yeah, it'll be similar to her chapter, telling a different character's backstory and helping you get to know them a bit better. This chapter itself though, will actually begin to introduce a recurring character. It will also be told in the POV of this new recurring character. Enjoy
It was a bright and normal day, nothing really out of the ordinary. I was just eating my breakfast of Pecha Berries and water, as is the life of a wild Poochyena. I was admittedly a bit worried, I heard a rumor that a friend of mine had been captured by a trainer. I had only gotten the message recently but the Pichu that told me said that it happened days ago!
I was rushing into Viridian Forest when I heard some humans talking, I looked through some bushes to see who it was. I saw these two people that were dressed really weirdly. They had these blue suits and had these these really weird masks on. I don't know what they were talking about, but I didn't really care about it, I went over to the entrance of the Forest when one of weird masked people pulled out this weird machine. It looked like one of those guns that some of my ancestors talked about when they talked about a war that the humans were involved in, but this one looked a little different.
The human with the strange gun pulled the trigger, for a second I thought my life was over but I wasn't physically hurt. I was inside this gold colored ball that was floating in midair! I was stunned, and then the intense heat got to me. It was like being next to an angry Charizard. I howled in pain, warning any nearby pokemon to get away as fast as they could. The last thing I saw was some of the other pokemon in the area running (or in the case of some bird pokemon, flying. My mom always said that my howls were really loud!) away, then everything went dark...
I woke up some time later, I didn't recognize where I was or what time it was. All I knew was that I was in, I heard a lot of other pokemon screaming and crying, most of which I had never met before.
"W-where am I?!"
"Please let me go!"
"Get me out of here!"
These were just some of the things I was hearing in... wherever I was. Suddenly, I saw two people walk up to the cage I was in. I recognized one of them as being the same person who trapped me.
"This one could prove to be useful..." The other man said, he looked like he was in a higher position of power than the one who caught me.
"Yes sir!" The gun-toting man said, opening my cage and grabbing me, it was tough for me to breathe because of how I was held. I whimpered and kicked for him to let go of me, but he refused to let me go. When we exited the room, the higher in command person reached for a pokeball from his belt. I recognized that it was a pokeball because I see trainers drop them all the time. The pokemon that he sent out resembled half of the mask that these people wore. Both were shaped like a crescent moon.
"Lunatone, Hypnosis. Put them all to sleep so we may finally have some peace and quiet." He said, while the Lunatone put all of the other pokemon to sleep, the people took me away to another room. They didn't do anything dangerous, they put me on some scales, checked my measurements and looked at my fangs.
"It's getting late, we should let this one rest." The one who owned the Lunatone said, the Lunatone returned, the man snapped his fingers and the Lunatone then shot these yellow energy waves at me, that's when I blacked out again.
I woke up the next morning feeling really sore, I tried stretching a bit but I hit my head on the ceiling of my cage (it was pretty small). I wasn't awake for five minutes when these people took me out of me cage. They took me over to a large silver table, it was cold to the touch, I tried to jump off of the table (I wasn't comfortable with how cold it was) but some of the people were holding me down. I looked over to one side of the room, there were three people on these white suits, they had the same masks as everyone, but these three seemed different, I could see the uncertainty in their eyes.
They also looked a bit queasy as well and when I looked up made me realism why. One of the people who was holding me down was also holding a needle with some strange blue liquid in it. Once I was pricked with the needle, I cringed, it hurt too much for words. That's when I suddenly began changing. It's tough to explain, but I felt stronger afterwards. I was taller and my tail grew, everyone looked astounded and ecstatic, a few others looked dumbfounded. As for me however, I was scared, I knew I had evolved but, how? Usually pokemon in the wild evolve after either a certain point of time, or when they become strong enough. What did these people do?
I was then taken back to the room where all of the other pokemon were in, I was given a new, much larger cage because I couldn't fit into me old one. The last thing I heard these people say was...
"We'll get to working on it later, it should be ready tomorrow. The day after being the latest."
Then I took a nap, evolving took away a lot of my energy...
Some time later, some scientists took me back to the cold table, they had a Gloom use Sleep Powder on me to put me to sleep for a while while they did something. Though I wasn't completely asleep, I could feel them removing some of my bones, changing my skin, and adding something that sounded just like those cutting machines that some people use to cut down trees. The pain was indescribably bad, and I was very happy when it was over. But I was incredibly sore afterwards.
I found that I didn't really need to breathe anymore, that thought horrified me, but I suppose I should be thankful that I'm alive. These people put me into some sort of glass casing, like I was on display for everyone to see. They were all behind some sort of machine, one of these people pulled a lever which generated electricity like a hyperactive Pikachu. This electricity not only made me feel better, but it also gave me some information. It wasn't much, but I was supposed to make sure some people named Jack, Diego, Julia, and Renée from interfering with... whatever Team Dark Star, my superiors, we're planning. As I said, I wasn't given much information.
Current Time: 21:47 otherwise known as 10:47 p.m.
Fellow Team Dark Star operatives, Typhoon and Pandora had awoken my from my slumber. Now was the time to set off to complete my mission. I had wasted no time in running out of the building to find my target, who was last seen heading towards Maroon Village. Once I had left Celadon City, I was receiving a message from base, from Typhoon.
"Alright, listen here mutt! Your mission is to take Jack and his friends down. If anyone stands in your way, take them down too! Worst case scenario, your body is destroyed. Don't worry, we have about 5 more copies of your body back at base and don't even think of running away, you have a tracking chip embedded in your head. In short, you've got no freedom, you work for us now!"
I had no intention of running away, I have been given my mission and I must complete my prime directive! However, one thought went through my head. Did I truly have no freedom?
End of chapter. I hope you enjoyed this bit of backstory, next chapter will go back to the main story.
