Author's Note: Warning: this chapter contains moral issues. No, not anything that has to do with sex, or drugs, or blasphemy or anything. I just wasn't sure that you'd all be fine with the bad-guys experimenting on/murdering homeless people. Just a precaution, if you don't like it, read only the first two blocks of this chapter, and then stop. If not, carry on.
This is just a short little chapter I'm uploading before I go away for a week, enjoy!
Chapter 12- Binding
The leader of the Rocket-Hacksters was pleased. Nintendo had created a way to make Psychic-type Pokemon more real, by creating a technology that read electrical signals in the player's brain, and allowed the AI 'minds' of their monsters to transmit similar patterns and signals, creating telepathic machines. By adding the code that activated these abilities in Psychic Pokemon to his Hacked beasts and by altering it slightly, the Criminal Mastermind had created Pokemon that would become bound with a single trainer.
The strategy behind this hack? Long distance control. With their controls safely hidden dozens, if not thousands of miles away, these beasts became the ultimate soldier: infinitely powerful, infinitely replaceable. After all, what were they but computer code made physical?
The first tests of this new prototype technology had been disappointing: When the Pokemon was destroyed; the Controller fell into a comatose state, possibly never to awaken. Not a worry, however. It was amazing how many of the homeless could disappear before anyone noticed.
A little tweaking and a few hours of recoding, the first successful Binding was created, only to be destroyed, the mental instability of the human half was too much of a hazard to the success of the Team.
The Leader himself had volunteered himself and his Pokegod as the second test of this new, seemingly foolproof form of Binding. A success. Where he had only been able to communicate with his Pokemon mentally, he could now CONTROL it, a new extension of himself. Sure, it still had its own personality and thoughts, but even those had been molded to fit its Master, not by the hacking but by Nintendo's own code.
At nightfall the first Bound troops were released into the world, in the forms of Hacked Murkrow, Houndoom, and other creatures of the dark. In a few days, after they had positioned themselves around military bases, the invasion would commence.
The world would belong to Aaron Demanil.
