Souls Torn Apart
It was dark and cold I couldn't tell where I was or how long I had been like this. Suddenly I found myself in a never ending meadow of grass but every blade of grass was frozen over. Somehow though it seemed natural a slight breeze picked up and I could once again feel my arms and legs. My body hadn't regained its warmth either but it was possibly due to this place. Looking around I spotted a mountain close by it was completely snow covered but as I turned my head to look forward again to see a Pokemon had stopped right in front of me. It was taller then me by a few feet but I could feel an icy breeze coming from it. Seeing this Pokemon it almost looked familiar it's icy blue color and light orange eyes. For a while I just stood there staring at it and it stared back at me. After a while it finally moved towards me. An even icier air was coming off of it. It seemed to want to say something but it stayed silent. I noticed a locket hanging from it's beak. Without thinking I reached my hand out it bent forward and dropped the locket in my hand. Looking it over it was a ice colored locket with a silver chain turning my attention to the Pokemon to see it was staring at me as if waiting for a chance I slid the locket over my head so that it hung from my neck. It flashed and before I knew it my vision turned dark again. I slowly began to fade into the dark again.
After a long period of time my conciseness slowly came back to me. Looking around I could see only white. Closely looking around I noticed that I was actually in a room. Peering around I noticed a door with a window. Walking towards it at a slow pace trying to figure out where I was at the same time. But nothing seemed even the slightest familiar. As I continued to walk I could pick up the slightest sound of talking. Approaching the door as the voices slowly got louder to hear "It's vitals are still normal but the brain signs are still too low. We can't take it out this early in the experiment!" Another voice answered "Our leader commands that it be ready in two days time if it isn't then terminate it there's no use for something or a scientist that shows no improvements. The first voice didn't respond I walked up to the door and peered threw the glass window in the door. A person was walking away there back turned towards me while another stood in a white lab coat facing some flashing lab equipment. Before I had a chance to duck she turned around and stared at me her face was showing signs of exhaustion and stress. Her hair was a long light blond and was wrapped into a ponytail. There was something behind her a large capsule from the distance it was at I couldn't get a good look at it and there was a mass of cords along with wires coming from it. Without noticing the person had already walked up to the door and began to turn the door knob. She didn't seem to be able to see me but that didn't mean I'd want to be hit with a door. Gazing around trying to find a spot within the few seconds I had but no spot was there just a white room. Moving from behind the door I just hoped that maybe she really couldn't see me. It took only seconds for that hope to fade as she opened the door and stared at me fully able to tell I was there. For a minute she just stood there I could imagine she was deciding what to do. A long purple scarf hung around her neck it was just short enough to not drag on the ground as she walked. After a pause she spoke "I'm guessing you're not a normal laboratory worker?"
It was very obvious though my clothes were ragged a bit my hair a bit messy too. Saying back "Yes I don't work here nor do I know how I got here either though."
She walked closer to me before saying "Are you Flame?"
Something about her made me not want to answer her question but for now I'd answer truthfully. I nodded yes to her and waited to see what she'd do next.
What I said seemed to intrigue her she kept looking me over as if she expected me to disappear at any moment. Shaking her head she asked another question "May I ask something of you?"
Her voice now seemed to lose it's last bit of happiness and took a serious tone. Replying "It depends, what do you want?" This whole place was suspicious and at the same time eerie.
She took another step towards me her red eyes locked on me as she said "Take care of your Pokemon you will soon go threw a trial that will determine if you live or die."
Just as she finished it grew dark once again and it all faded away. To be quickly replaced by my conciseness returning once again. Something was off though...I looked around everything had a blue tint to it there were voices around me. Down the dark hall a white light slowly began to approach me. As it came closer I noticed it was a person but he was dressed in metal armor his face fully covered up. The only real thing off about him was...he was huge! I was only shorter then his belt line. He stared at me for a moment then preceded to take a small handgun from his right pants pocket. Attempting to talk to the man but no words would come out as he took aim. A loud POP! Followed a sharp pain in my left arm as it became paralyzed. The person then said as he pressed his hand to a radio hanging from his left leg "Sir I managed to catch up to the Riolu and I have paralyzed it's left arm proceed in on my location for the capture."
Another voice from the radio responded "Roger that were heading to your position see if you can slow that Pokemon down anymore but watch out he's fast." Looking at the man the only option going threw my head now was 'Run!'. A few more loud shots went off and I turned to run as he continued to run clutching my left arm with my hand. Quickly I turned the corner as the man in armor tried to keep up with my fast pace. I had only a few seconds before he would catch up looking around I couldn't find anywhere to hide. The clanking of his boots grew louder fast I began to panic.
But just as I was about to run away a voice from my head said 'Break that grate and crawl threw the air vent quickly!' Looking around to find the source of the voice to no avail I looked to my right to see a small grate there was no way I could bend the metal bars out of the way though.
Once again I heard the voice this time louder though 'Just do it we don't have time for this! Hurry Flame or he'll catch back up to us!' I bent down to the grate there was no way a person could bend those bars but after what I saw today nothing would be impossible. Reaching out for the bars to see my arm was blue and furry! It looked just like a Riolu's arm something was not right. But now wasn't the time to worry about that reaching out for the closet bar with my good arm I easily bent the bar out of the way and quickly I bent two more. It was going to be a tight fit but there was no use in running. Ducking to the ground as the footsteps grew even closer I slipped passed the bars and into a small air vent that led into another room.
Looking threw the vent I saw no other passage slowly sliding out of the vent I looked around the room. It was mostly empty all that was there was in the room was a single door and a weird machine in the corner. A low sounding humming was coming from it and a large blue button on it was flashing. Carefully I walked over to the door and reached for the door knob it started to turn itself. Jumping back from the door in surprise I ran over to the machine and hid on the side away from the door. The door creaked open and one set of footsteps could be heard walking across the floor. A voice said half mumbling "What a mess there making out there all over a Riolu. Just cause they thought that kid had some 'innate' power they make a huge fuss over it." The last sentence was followed by a loud explosion. It sounded like the person dropped some papers on the floor afterwards. The sound of shuffling papers could be heard they were probably trying to pick them back up. Some footsteps approached fast and stopped at the door. Someone yelled "Just leave those notes we have backups at the other base! We won't last long here there's a giant Pokemon attacking it! The east wing is already completely frozen over it'll be here any minute!" Both the footsteps hurried out the door until there sound was gone. Taking a peek out from the side of the machine I saw the pieces of paper that person had dropped then left behind. Making sure there weren't another people coming I walked over to the papers. Each had complicated sets of problems on them. Shuffling threw the papers I found one that seemed to be in different handwriting from the rest it was written hastily.
Notes of Ysolt Víðarr
Day 1 I began my experiment with a houndoom they captured from the field she shows promise but no results have been found yet.
Day 7 A week has passed but she shows no signs of any influence from the sphere.
Day 16 Finally the first signs the experiment is succeeding she has began talking only small words but this is a good sign.
Day 20 The leader has forced me to double the influence from the sphere even though I warned him that with that much strain it could kill her.
Day 25 Though the days have been long it has succeeded we have created the first Pokehuman she has the body of a human but the characteristics of a Pokemon she retains it's ears and tail. This is the best results we could have wanted out of this. They have decided to label this outcome A "Pokehuman" or Gijinka. She can't easily turn back into a Houndour however. The Leader doesn't seem pleased with it however he expects better results.
Day 26 Due to the exposure of the sphere she has become unstable and has become very sick. She was too young to have the sphere used on her and it's now my fault.
Day 27 After being sent to my room and forbidden to exit after I refused to use the sphere on another Pokemon I was sent back to the laboratory. They claim to have caught a legendary Pokemon.
Day 28 Much to my surprise they brought in a sedated Articuno as much as I refused to do it they threatened my life along with my pet Eevee's life. I must do it then I am sorry Articuno.
The rest of the note seemed to be torn off but as I flipped it over to see a few last entries.
After much time the results were different then the first experiment she turned into a complete human no sign of ever being a Pokemon. Unlike the first she is able to turn from each form with no trouble. Our leader seems oddly fond of her but one thing we have found out is where they are in there Pokehuman form Pokeballs are repelled just like if you tried to catch a human. But there normal forms can be caught however the leader forbid anyone from capturing the Articuno.
It has been many days since I have written anything down but that is because I fear for my life. I have found out a secret the leader used his wife and the Articuno when he exposed both to the sphere they fused into a single being. They have named them Pokehumans along with this if they continue to fuse another Pokemon into this they can change into other forms too. Since I have learned this I shall try to escape with my Eevee but if I don't succeed if anyone finds this note THEY MUST DESTROY THE SPHERE. Further research has revealed that this is slowly tearing a hole in time, space and the distortion worlds. However the leader won't listen to me and has posted guards everywhere hoping to capture me. I will have to hide this note in one of my textbooks only if you turn it upside down will you be able to find it.
It was all too much to take in someone was fusing humans with Pokemons but that didn't explain how I got turned into a Riolu at all. Grabbing the note and folding it up I held it in my hand and took off out the door. The hallways seemed empty along with every room I passed. As I ran threw the hallways I felt a breeze coming from one of the doors. Stopping I saw a door with a slight breeze coming from it. Looking around quickly I reached for the door knob. I had to stand on the hind part of my legs to reach it and as I turned it it swung open to an icy wasteland. Everything was frozen over I couldn't tell what had done this but I wasn't going to wait and find out. Running across the slippery ground I could see a forest that hadn't been hit by the icy winds. Sprinting for it I reached the cover of the trees quickly. I could finally sit down and rest. Finding a spot under a tree I sat down to feel my legs and arms hurting. None of this made sense why am I a Riolu? My head then started throbbing it went dark once again.
Within seconds however I woke back up to find myself in a field of grass all a golden color. As I looked around trying to find out where I was now a person approached me. However looking him over he wasn't actually human by his dark blue hair he had long black ears that looked like Riolu's ears and as he stood there a blue tail was moving back and forth. His shirt was black with a dark blue coat over it his pants were dark blue too. Around his neck was a red choker with a lightning bolt hanging from it. He waited a few more moments before saying anything "You finally done staring?" I jumped back slightly from him talking he didn't make sense he seemed human and Pokemon at the same time. He sighed at me jumping back then said "Is this all that hard to comprehend a few minutes ago you were in my body anyway."
Saying back to him "Your body? But I was in a Riolu's body." Nothing made sense I had a feeling it wasn't going to either.
The person then rolled his eyes before stating "Who do you think I am? Just because I look different doesn't mean you shouldn't recognize me."
It all made sense just then this person was Rikua? But how did he turn from a Riolu into what he was now? He continue with "That sphere they had you touch has different effects on humans and Pokemon. For humans it fuses them with the nearest Pokemon. You couldn't see me but I was in the same room as you I was able to see you touch the sphere. Though something obviously happened because it did what happened to Pokemon normally. It turns them into Pokehumans or Gijinka as some call them. A combination of Human and Pokemon normally they are never found in the world there are very few pokemon that have an ability to turn into Pokehumans and most can never use it anyway. But that sphere pulls it out of them and makes them able to use there innate ability. Normally we would have gotten fused and I would have died. You would then have the ability to turn into my form. Somehow that didn't happen though even I don't know why though."
I asked him then "Where am I now then?"
He looked to the ground then to me with his red eyes "Two minds cannot exist in one body soon neither will have control of it. We both are trapped in a place between our bodies. Normally a place like this couldn't exist it wouldn't be stable the sphere also did this. It would move my soul into this place then seal it off from the outside allowing you to absorb my body with no problems. Right now my body is out there only running on instincts and yours is probably still in that place."
Looking at the place we were in again. It looked perfectly normal but this kind of place was evil it was used to seal off Pokemon's souls? Does that mean there were others here too? Just as I finished this thought I could hear footsteps crunching the grass. Asking the person "Does that mean you're Rikua?"
He nodded back at me as the sound came closer. Then said "Yes I am but it seems that someone else is here too." The sound seemed to be coming from everywhere and as I looked around to see no one approaching I looked down at my feet to see an Eevee. This one however was a golden furred Eevee with a purple scarf wrapped around it's neck. Even Rikua stared at the Pokemon oddly. As I bent down to touch it I heard a voice come from it "Long time no see, nice to see you again Flame."
I just stared down at the Eevee then looked around to make sure there wasn't a person here. As I turned my head back to look I found the Eevee to be gone and a woman standing in front of me instead. It was her! The one I had seen in the lab before! She had a white lab coat on and her blond hair in a ponytail just like last time. But she was different she now had blond furred Eevee ears on her head and a fluffy blond tail.
I asked her "Why do you have ears and a tail now?"
Rikua interrupted by saying "You know her Flame?"
Nodding to him I said "Yes I met her in a place like this it was a lab though."
Her ears dropped from hearing that word as she said "Yeah you were in my memory though that was before something happened to me though." She didn't seem happy anymore. Was there something that happened there?
Trying to change the subject I said "What are you doing here then?"
She replied "I was in a room next to yours when you and Rikua connected minds the influence from the sphere pulled me in here and now ere stuck here until someone from the outside world can get your bodies back in contact just a simple touch will fix this mess."
I asked grimly "But my bodies still in that place isn't it?"
Shaking her head she answered "No after that Pokemon made a giant ice storm there it was dropped off in the town called Freyr."
I asked her "So someone found that place and moved me there?"
Her ears perked up a bit "Not quite that Pokemon moved it there I don't know why it did that though. All we can hope is that someone there knows how to reverse the deep sleep you're in."
