Chapter 9

Secrets Better Left Untold

Character: Iso

We waited many hours until we heard the door open again. A grunt knelt outside of our cage. I looked out the cage and saw that it was not Alastair, but a average height grunt who was very muscular.

"He reached into the cage to pet me and I stepped back. Ben stood up and growled at hin."

Ben glared at the grunt menacingly. "Don't you dare touch her!"

"Whoa, whoa. Calm down. No need to be alarmed. I'm not going to hurt her or you." The grunt took his hand out of the cage and held them up.

"Like I'd trust you!" Ben bared his teeth at the grunt.

"I'm not here to hurt you or do anything bad to you. Alastair made sure I would be assigned to you rather than a random grunt who would probably not treat you nicely." he sat down beside the cage.

"Prove it. How do we know you're not lying?" I carefully watched him.

"Ummm… If I really was just a grunt then wouldn't I be harassing or torturing you right now?"

"Well, you could be just doing that to gain our trust. You'll have to do better than that." Ben growled at him.

"He's planning to break you guys out later." The grunt looked into his bag. and pulled out some berries.

"Okay, I'll believe you for now, but I still don't trust you." I sat back down as I glared at him.

"I brought these for you, but I see you haven't even finished your breakfast. You should eat up. You'll need the energy later for when Alastair breaks you guys out." He placed the berries in the half empty bowl.

"Okay…" I sighed.

"Ben, so why are we even here?" Ben stretched.

"Well, Team Hane No Arashi's scientists want to perform some tests on you to see if the serum worked properly and so they can improve it. That is also why they gave you the serum. So you could be their test subjects."

Iso lay her head upon the ground. "Why? Why do they even want to do this to people? How could they be so evil?"

Ben put his arm around Iso. "Don't cry Iso. We'll get out of this. And yes, why do they want to test this serum and what ever else they are doing"

"Well you see, Team Hane No Arashi began around five years ago. A genetic scientist who had created advanced genetic reconstruction technology gathered a group of scientists and opened up the Featherstorm Research Facility. They worked on developing a serum that could completely modify a organism's genetic structure. They worked primarily with eevee and eeveelution DNA as eevee's DNA has a huge capability to change. Around four years ago they succeeded in making a serum that could turn a human into a pokémon. Though the TFSYN001 formula only had the capability to transform somebody into a eevee or a eeveelution. After working on it some more and some more testing they were able to create the TFSYN005 formula which could turn somebody into almost any pokémon. They then started working on a new project. But then about three years ago the scientist who had founded the research facility mysteriously disappeared, and one of the other scientists took over. The new leader then reorganized the organization and restructured it and he created what you today see as Team Hane No Arashi. They continued working on the project and recently developed the TFSYN101 serum which allows the person who it it used upon to shift back and forth between two forms. Though it has not been finished yet as it still doesn't work perfectly all the time as was the case with Iso here, and it can only turn somebody into a eevee or eeveelution. And that's basically why. Any questions?"

"Wait, so the research facility just turned into an evil team and all the people who worked there were just okay with it?" Ben looked at the grunt questioningly.

"Well, many people did leave the organization after the new leader took over."

"And how does the serum even work?" Ben looked at the grunt curiously.

"You see, to use it, first they take some pokémon DNA from the pokémon they want the serum to turn the person into and they mix it into the serum. Then the serum needs to get in the persons bloodstream. There, the special molecules in the serum and the DNA make their way into the persons cells, and into the cell nuclei. In the original formula the DNA that was already there was eradicated and replaced with the new DNA and more copies of the new DNA were made and the neighboring cells' DNA were changed too. However in the new formula the old DNA is not eradicated. The serum itself contains special DNA molecules. What happens is the new DNA and the special DNA enters the cell nucleus. And, you know how everything asks your DNA for instructions and that is how cells work. Well, here, once all the DNA enters the nucleus, the special DNA takes over and everything reads off of it. The thing about it is that it can totally flip itself around. When it is read one way, it tells the things to then get instructions from the old DNA and if it is read the other way, then it tells the stuff to get directions from the new DNA. When you transform, what happens is the special DNA molecules flip and send out a signal to neighboring cells to flip too. However sometimes, in the process parts of the old DNA are damages or destroyed by accident and the new DNA fills in for those missing parts, as in Iso's case."

"Okay. So do you know how Alastair is planning to break us out?" Ben looked inquisitively at the man.

"No, I don't have a clue. Well, I have to go. I hope it all works out for the two of you." The man left.

Ben looked at me with an expression of concern. "Iso, please eat something. You haven't eaten anything and I know you have a big appetite. Please eat…"

"I don't want too…" I sighed.

"For me?"

"Okay…" I begrudgingly walked to the food bowl and began to eat.

Character: Ben

I smiled warmly as I watched Iso return to the corner and curl up after eating the rest of the pokémon food and all of the berries.

"What!" Iso seemed annoyed. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Oh, nothing. I was just…"

Ben was interrupted by someone entering the room.

"Hey guys, it's me Alastair. Keep quiet. Can you put your leg forward so I can get the chain off?" Alastair lifted off the top of the cage.
"Okay." I moved my leg so Alastair could get at the chain. He pulled out a blade and sawed through the chain right before the clasp. I moved my leg slowly and hopped out of the cage.

"Okay, now it's your turn Iso."

Iso looked hesitantly at Alastair then held out her leg, from which Alastair cut the chain off.

"Okay, so let's hurry." Alastair picked us up and began walking hurriedly.

We went into the hall and passed many doors before going into one.

"What are we doing here?" I squinted trying to see in the darkness.

Alastair pulled a chain attached to a light-bulb. The room flooded with a luminescent glow. the two side walls of the room were covered in shelves fulls of pokéballs. "We can get some help here. We should also try to rescue as many of these pokémon as we can."

Just as he reached for a pokéball, the door flew open. In the doorway stood Dr. Chernobog and two serious-faced grunts. "Now Alastair, you know what we do with double agents, don't you?"

A look of fear spread over Alastair's face. He muttered a single word. "Run."

Dr. Chernobog and the two grunts pulled out what seemed to be like sniper rifles, except they had belts of various colored syringes for ammunition. The three guns pointed at us.

Alastair grabbed an object from his coat and threw it against the empty wall. It attached to the wall and went off in a huge explosion. Alastair grabbed a pokéball and ran out through the newly made hole with us still in his arms. We ran down the hallway as syringes shot past us.

"Almost there…" Alastair murmured. We ran out the back door. He threw the pokéball and a beam of energy shot out which took the form of an arcanine. He hopped on it's back and held on as it started running. We sped through the streets of Jubilife city as we were given chase by the grunts. Many more syringes flew past. We kept on riding until we made it into the forest.

We slowly came to a stop by a stream. Alsatair slid off and put us down.

"Yes! We're free! See Iso, I told you we'd get out!" I smiled at Iso.

Iso returned a faint smile. "Yes, yes you did. So what now?"

"Well, I'll be going to Sandgem Town for the contest there." Alastair stretched.

"Wait, that's where the next contest is?" Ben looked at Alastair.

"Yeah, it is."

"I guess we're heading to Sandgem Town too then! Why don't we all go together?"

"Yeah sure!" Alastair smiled.

"And just one question. Back when we first saw you and that wacky doctor guy, and he mentioned my dad's name, why had you seemed surprised?" Iso looked towards Alastair questioningly.

"Well, you see… ummm… it…"

"Yes?" Iso looked with impatience.

"Ummm… your Dad was kinda the guy who originally started Team Hane No Arashi…"

Author'snotes:

Sorry for taking so long to uptate.

If only a sword could be forged that would behead writer's block with a single swing.

Iso: My dad did wha! You're going to pay! *pulls out frozen banana*

NanoCarp: I had nothing to do with it.

Ryu: Well of course. this has been planned all the way since the beginning. Oh-oh *runs*

Ben: I'll close then. Please review! It is much appreciated!

NanoCarp: It makes the author VERY happy! ^_^

Ben: O_O How'd you get here!

NanoCarp: I turned left on main street.

Ben: … well, bye readers!
