I awoke tied to a table in a lab. The view out the window told me I was still in Hearthome. Then a scientist came in and closed the window.
"You seem like the perfect subject," he said, pouring liquid from a beaker labeled "Activated Mew DNA" into a test tube. "Ideal for our research." He broke open a amall ampoule labeled "215" and poured its contents, apparently blood, into the test tube. The liquid fizzed and turned pink. He poured it nto a hypodermic needle and injected it into my arm.
I felt like I was burning…
That's when I blacked out again…
When I came to, I was still on the table, though everything was much larger. I wasn't tied up, so I got up and looked around. Then I saw myself in the mirror on the far wall.
I was dark blue-green, with a long, reddish left ear, a short, dark blue-green right ear, and three reddish feathers along my back. I had two sharp claws on each hand and foot. In other words, I had become a Sneasel.
What? I thought. I decided to tear up the blinds and escape through the window. I landed in the grass, thinking, I guess it's no use trying to tell Mom. Suddenly, another thought occurred to me. Activated Mew DNA? Mew is supposed to be ancestrally linked to every Pokémon. Maybe they "activated" it so it could alter DNA to match a DNA sample, which explains the blood. And the number 215 – of course! That's Sneasel's number in the National Pokédex! But why would anyone want to do this? That's when I saw the logo above the door. A red "R".
