After a few hours on a long road trip through the forest, the scientists and Missy and her new friends finally made it to the laboratory. Randall carried Chloe inside on his back, and laid her down on the couch nearby. The scientists shook Randall's and Sherice's hand, and welcomed them in. They questioned about the Pokemon, and Randall explained everything to him. They understood, and Randall walked over to Missy, bent down to her, and explained what they were going to try to do.

"Ok. We're going to take a few blood samples of you and your friends, and we're going to try to find you little bit of Human DNA that's still left in you. Then we're going to work with what we got, and use it to try to find a cure." Randall explained to Missy, and she nodded. He also told her to watch over Chloe, making sure she stays away from the testing area.


Missy went to everyone, and explained what Randall explained to them. Soon, Sherice and Randall both came over with syringes and took their blood samples and walked off into the testing area. Missy sat in front of Chloe, watching her closely.

In the testing area, Randall and Sherice both worked around with what blood samples they got with the other scientists, discovering a tiny portion of human DNA in each of the blood samples. They saved that part of it, and kept the one infected with their Pokemon DNA. They worked for several hours on it, trying many things, but couldn't seem to bring forth the cure to their situation. They soon gave up for the night, willing to try in the morning.

Randall sat next to Sherice, holding her hand. Her head leaned against his shoulder and smiled. "I hope Chloe will be feeling better when she wakes up." She said. "It looked like she was willing to give her life away like that."

"She's too emotionally unstable. She needs to conquer her own emotions, and not let them get in the way." Randall whispered, remembering that evening in the cave, seeing Chloe literally put her hand out for the Pokemon to bite her like that.

"What if she does stay this way?" Sherice asked.

Randall sighed. "Then she can't be anywhere near here, not for awhile at least."

"I'm worried that she might inject herself with anything like the virus, or purposely get bitten." Sherice whispered. "I hope nothing like what happened to her husband happens to you."

"I hope the same doesn't happen to you, either." He said, and bent his face down to kiss her on the lips, and she kissed him back. She slowly moved away, and stood up. "I'm going to check up on her and them." She said, referring to the Pokemon they picked up earlier.


Missy soon fell asleep that night, right in front of Chloe. Alisha and everyone else fell asleep, too. Everyone was tired from yesterday. They all slept soundly asleep, near each other, but not to close.

Sherice walked in, and smiled at them. They looked so peaceful there, sleeping. Sherice tiptoed around them, and made her way to the couch that Chloe was laid down on. She soon stopped, frozen. Her eyes went wide, seeing an empty spot there. Chloe was nowhere to be seen. Sherice panicked, and soon ran out of the living area to where Randall was.

She ran into the clearing, and Randall looked at her with a weird expression. "What's with the face?" He asked her.

"It's Chloe! She's not there!"

"What?!" Randall exclaimed, standing up in a hurry. "Let's split up and search for her right away."

Sherice nodded, and went back the way she came from. Randall went into the testing area where the virus was being contained. He didn't see her there, and asked the other scientists if they knew where Chloe was at. They had no idea either.

Sherice went back and searched in her area, not seeing her. She then decided to wake the Pokemon up. She shook them all awake, and they yawned, and blinked at her.

"Chloe's not here. Can you help me look for her?" she asked them.

Missy looked at the couch, not seeing her there. She looked to everyone, and they nodded. She nodded, too, and they all went in the same direction. Outside.

"We need to find her." Missy said, running all around to find her.

"Yeah! It's getting pretty close to midnight, the same time that this transformation begins." Mary said, remembering what Randall told them on the car ride up here.

Chad stopped then, and starred at Mary. "Mary, you're a Togekiss, and you have wings. Why don't you fly up and search for her by air?"

Mary stopped, and thought about it. She nodded. "I'll do it!" she said, taking off into the sky to search.

"Good thinking!" Alisha said with a smile at Chad.

Missy, Chad, Alisha and Rick then searched on the ground, looking everywhere. The time was ticking ever so fast on midnight. They all worried that they wouldn't be able to find her in time.

Chloe walked through the forest, trying to find that one aggressive Pokemon to bite her, and transform her. She knew her emotions were getting the better of her, but she wanted to be with her husband as a Pokemon, too, and not be separate species. She couldn't stand it, not one bit.


Chloe soon stumbled upon a pokemon. It was an Absol. It had a look in its eyes, and she could tell her was a carrier of the virus. She stood her ground, staring hard at it, tears coming out of her eyes.

"Bite me!" she said putting her arms out, closed her eyes and waited for the Absol to bite her, inject her with the virus.

The Absol ran up to her, Opening its mouth, and biting her on the side. Chloe flinched, but it was soon over with and done, and the Absol then let go and ran off.

She looked at her watch; it was one minute to midnight. She closed her eyes, whispering to herself, saying "Goodbye world."

Missy came across Chloe, who was on the ground, holding herself, eyes closed shut in pain. She cried out in pain. Missy stopped along with everyone else, eyes wide, staring at what Chloe was becoming.

Something was pushing out from the but area, and broke through her jeans. It was a pointy, dark blue tail. Silver hair started to cover her body, as her blonde hair started to turn silver, and form a crescent moon for the top part of the Absol transformation. A blue oval shape formed in the crescent part of the head. Her face turned a dark blue, and her teeth grew sharper, as her face grew out just a little bit to form a small snout. She cried out in pain, and everyone watched as a dark blue crescent thing popped out of the side of her head. Next were her hands and feet. Her fingers formed into three small blue claws, as her thumb made its way back to the hind of the paws, forming into a claw. The same thing was happening to her feet. Extra silver hair started to form around her neck area. Soon, the new Absol/Chloe shook out of the clothes, and ran off in a fury, leaving missy and everyone else to be in a shock. Mary watching from the sky couldn't believe it, either. That was the end of Chloe. Alisha and everyone else tried to get Missy to come along with them to go back to the laboratory, but couldn't shake her.

Missy was frozen in place, eyes wide open, and her mouth open slightly. A virus is what does this? How can a virus do this to us, it's totally science fiction. Soon, the whole world will be filled with Pokemon, and the human race will soon meet its end. Missy thought, staring at where Chloe was just was.
