Chapter 15: Andrew Faulkner
As soon as they got inside, Andrew drops the cold uncaring facade he had going on and runs and hugs Susan. You could hear both Kane and Jacob growling in annoyance. How dare some random stranger, who had saved their lives which they are grateful for but still, hug their Susan? Susan glares at both and they look down like puppies caught doing something bad, Kane especially as he is part Pack. Susan returns the hug and Andrew grins.
"Susan! I never expected to ever see you again after you moved I was depressed and I started bird breeding. I always have liked birds. I breed all types of bird Pokemon but I especially like Pigeots, those have always been close to my heart, just like my memories of you. Through my experiments in bird Pokemon, I discovered an ancient species of bird Pokemon called the Aveiana that were fierce proud creatures that ruled the skies. They had few enemies and the big enemy had been the Pack. I never believed the Pack to still be alive but I guess it isn't all that surprising since the Aveiana are still around and so are a couple others I hear but have never seen. I befriended the Aveiana and got DNA, blood samples, and everything I needed for an experiment I have been working on, combining humans with Pokemon, you can see the result in Lady Bat. I can't figure out why he ended up with black bat-like wings and bat traits though. Jacob snorted and muttered 'we do have echolocation if that's what you mean but you got me on the bat wings.' Andrew heard and nodded.
"Yes, I know that. But you don't have as nearly a high pitch frequency range as Lady Bat." Lady Bat slyly grinned and said in a very creepy high pitch voice,
"You mean I sound like a girl," he said and he really did sound like one, it was creepy how much he sounded like one. It was especially creepy since he already looked very feminine with the big bright eyes and long hair and legs. Kane gaped in amazement.
"You mean that you aren't a girl?!" Everyone sighed, apparently someone really was oblivious. How could he miss the 'high pitch frequency range' comment? Then, Lady Bat also had no female parts. That had to be the biggest clue. Lady Bat laughed.
"Trust me; I get that a surprising number of times. It is always amusing to be hit on by guys who think I am a very cute girl. Poor Jacob, he was mortified. He couldn't look at me for a week without stammering and apologizing. I didn't really mind but he took it a hard blow on his masculinity. I try to tell him it has happened numerous times with other people but nope, he still refuses to believe me, don't you Jacob Blackstorm?"
Jacob Blackstorm averted his eyes and nodded, shoulders slumping. "You should have told me you were a guy, leading me on the assumption that you were a girl, you just wanted to hear my proposal and then crush me with the information you were actually a guy." Lady Bat grinned lewdly and replied,
"If I did follow your proposal, you would have quite rather suddenly found out I was a guy, I really should have accepted. It truly would have been amusing to watch, I would feel sorry for you but amusement totally wins out. Heh, I mean seriously, you just ask me to 'keep you company' as you call it throughout the night in the first few minutes of talking to me. You would totally deserve that surprise." Jacob turns an amazingly bright shade of red and he slumps more, trying to escape the stares of everyone. Susan shakes her head in disappointment while Kane and Jacob burst out into hysterics. Eventually, calm is restored after pouring a bucket of ice cold water, with ice, on him after he passed out from lack of oxygen from laughing too hard. Jacob Cross got the exact same treatment, he had passed out a second after Kane, and they both woke up screaming and running around, Kane especially upset as ice got down his pants. The hopping and cursing very loudly was amusing as he hopped around like a Ludicolo, the dancing playing instrument Pokemon. He eventually removes the ice, and settles down. Syd is just serenely writing a new song and Edward is whispering something to Jacob Blackstorm, probably some plan of revenge on Lady Bat for embarrassing him.
"This is confusing me," Jacob Blackstorm suddenly said in the silence. "How do I know if you are talking to me or the other Jacob?" That was a good question and everyone pondered on how to solve it. Kane has a light-bulb flash and he blurted out,
"We could do nicknames that are different and easy to remember so you can't forget who is who and so they know which one you are talking about." Jacob Blackstorm sighed.
"Wow, I could have come up with that, that is blatantly obvious but what are the nicknames?" Kane thought for a second and came up with a couple that he thought were absolutely brilliant.
"How about Jacob Cross be Birdwin and Jacob be wolftrot?" It were okay names and it did fit and were easy to remember so everyone went along with it. Jacob Blackstorm rather liked his while Jacob Cross was accepting but not his most favorite. Seriously, Birdwin? It might as well be bird or birdie or something, but Birdwin? He had no clue where Kane got that one from. Andrew decided that now was the time to continue the meeting since they got sidetracked by Lady Bat's femininity and Jacob's mistake.
"I conducted research based on the Aveiana and I discovered, quite accidentally, how to mix human DNA with Aveiana and likewise, Pokemon DNA. Devon Corporation funded me to continue my Pokemon/Human research and eventually Syd Eros comes to me asking for help for finding his missing girlfriend's sister and her friend. He knew how good I was at bird Pokemon and maybe I could find her with my birds. He discovered the Aveiana and my experiments, he didn't know about them, and he was rather shocked to say the least. He started yelling at me how it was wrong to mix Pokemon and Human DNA and how unnatural it was. By then, I no longer just worked with bird Pokemon in my DNA experiments, I used all types. I basically forced an ultimatum which was to help me with the experiments or no girlfriend. I didn't particularly care about being illegal, it was for the good of all and I am not doing anything like Railen Silhoutes is doing anyways. It is too help people and to help bring people closer to Pokemon while he is doing perfect soldiers and loyal subjects to help him create a new world according to his vision. Syd has been ever so helpful, haven't you Syd?" Syd glowered for a brief moment and then the mask of serenity comes back on. "His band has been more than helpful though. They were thrilled with being mixed with Pokemon. Jacob Blackstorm was mixed with Pack and Blissey as if he was mixed with pure Pack, he would have problems with short temperament, fierce temper, uncontrollable rages, and over the top sex action. This hasn't completely worked out obviously as he still tries to get girls to sleep with him but it is a lot better than forced sex on a weaker species like the Pack do quite frequently to all but their own." Susan trembled quite noticeably at that part and Kane rubbed circles in her back until she calmed down. Andrew started again.
"The Blissey part does help with the temper and anger problems but it seems to be a little strong as he is most of the time a total pacifist and refuses to fight unless absolutely necessary. He is almost always happy and trying to give joy to others. Almost always except when it comes to masculinity and/or embarrassing issues where he turns into a crybaby. But trust me, he is strong with Pack strength and quite a fierce force when he does fight and get mad. Probably not as fierce as you though Kane, you are a natural and you don't have other mixes holding the Pack side back outside of humanity. I am amazed of a natural hybrid being at all possible but that is good. Eddie Cullivan has been mixed with speedy Pokemon, mostly bird types like Dodrio, Pigeot, Swellow, etc. All in all, it makes him run on the ground and in the air at a superfast speed. He has streamlined aerodynamic wings to help with when he does fly. The only problem is he has an extremely fast metabolism and he needs to eat a lot. That and he rarely talks now outside of screeches and squawks but occasionally he does use words. Vince Gaines we mixed with Psychic Pokemon like Claydol, Alakazam, Xatu, etc. He is a total telepath and on very rare occasions, he has glimpses of the future. Lady Bat was a mix of Aveiana and human although their might have been Golbat and Whishmur DNA also as he got bat wings and a very insane pitch frequency that is always annoying. That is the only explanation I can think of as occasionally mistakes like that do happen and Aveiana do not have those traits. Syd stayed the same; he refused to change even when offered cool powers and abilities like the others. I don't understand why not, it is cool to have superpowers and to be above others. I even got a slight scramble to my DNA with Aveiana and Pigeot. I am an honorary Aveiana. But Syd refused, refuse to change. Whatever, it doesn't matter. Now, I want you all to join our team in stopping Railen Silhoutes. Don't think of refusing as he is a total danger to the world and he wants you for some reason which makes you important. I offer whatever you want in exchange if it's within my power to do so. But please join, or I might be forced to use….unpleasant measures." His smile pulled back revealing eerily long teeth and his eyes held traces of a hidden malice. They quickly agreed and he reverts to being normal but they all stared suspiciously at him for the rest of the time they remained with him.
