Hey guys, I feel like I am on fire! I have been working really hard on this chapter and I think you all will enjoy it. I am thinking about changing up the update schedule again. I was thinking about publishing a chapter of this then a single chapter of OMAA. Right now, I publish two chapters of OMAA before publishing a single chapter of this. I don't know, I'll figure it out by next chapter. I don't know how many of you know this, but I took Monpoke's advice and created a poll. To get to it all you need to do is click on my user-name and you should see it at the top of the page. I need at least fifteen votes to decide whether or not to write a story on Katlyn's time with Team Rocket. I will wait a month or so before taking it down. At the moment there are only two votes. I'll admit, one is mine. So thanks to whoever else voted. Anyways be sure to voice your opinions! Let me know what you want! On to the reviews!
Monpoke: I really liked that idea and I plan on using it in the future.
Philip Harbindinger: Don't worry, that is not the end of Dean and Crystal. They will come again and it is like they say. It isn't over until the fat lady sings. Not going to lie though. That phrase has a new humor to it after watching Dragon Ball Z. Vegeta's response was awesome. "Well I think she started humming a few lines." I got off topic. The red sphere will be explained in this chapter. It is actually something I used in OMAA. As for Cyndaquil, I said it was a hedgehog because, to me, it looks like one. Especially if it is shooting flames out of its back. Not going to lie, that is the only reason I called it a hedgehog.
Do not be desirous of having things done quickly. Do not look at small advantages. Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly. Looking at small advantages prevents great affairs from being accomplished.

Chapter 8
Devin's POV
I never was good about getting up in the morning. Everyday I felt as if somebody hit me with a semi. Today, however, I jumped awake as soon as light had touched me. I remembered the plan and I was sure I had slept right through it. I looked around frantically and found that I was no longer in the bedroom. That was a relief and, at the same time, a terror. I had woken up in the woods. The sunlight trickled down through the trees and left patches of warm light. As I looked around, I noticed that the trees were unrealistically large. The bushes now looked like small trees, and relatively small leaves looked as though they could cover my entire face!
"What in the world is going on!" I yelled frantically. "You guys didn't turn me into a baby did y'all?"
"If you were a baby, you wouldn't be yelling, now would you?" a high-pitched squeaky voice asked. It wasn't one I recognized.
"W-who are y-you? S-show y-yourself!" I demanded fearfully. A yellow blur jumped through the bushes and into plan view. It was large; at least twice my size and it looked familiar. It had long, blacked tipped, yellow ears. Its face had two red patches on each cheek. Its body was slightly on the chubby side and it had a large, thunderbolt shaped, tail. The name was on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't remember it. All I knew was that it was supposed to be an electric rat.
"So, what do you think?" the rat asked me.
I felt like I should have run away, but I was paralyzed by the sight of the giant rat. "Somebody help me! There is a giant rat trying to eat me! Somebody help!" I yelled.
"No! Don't shout! I'm not going to eat you! It's me! Austin! Devin please quiet down!" the rat begged.
"A-Austin? W-what happened to you? You're a giant rat?" I asked, slightly less scared.
"I am not a rat. I am a mouse; there is a difference. In fact, I am the most popular Pokémon in the entire world!" Austin replied indignantly. He studied me for several seconds. Then asked, "you do know what Pokémon I am, right?"
"No! I don't care what you are! I can't have a giant rat as a brother! How are we going to go through town with you looking like that?" I asked out of disbelief.
"How many times do I have to tell you that I am not a rat? I figured that… wait, have you not seen yourself yet?" I shook my head and gave him a questioning look. "This is great! Emily, come here! Devin's awake, and believe me, you don't want to miss this!"
"What? What's wrong?" I looked down at myself and nearly had a heart attack. My arms were covered with light yellow fur. My hands weren't hands anymore and, instead, were paws. I checked my body and panicked I was covered in light yellow, and black fur. My feet were large yellow paws and I even had a freaking tail! I looked for anything that could give me a full reflection of myself. There was a leaf a few feet away that had some water in it. I tried running for it but instantly tripped over my feet. I tried again only to have the same result. I began to crawl and made it to the leaf I looked inside only to meet an unbelievable mouse-like face. The reflection had large black ears and a tiny pink nose. I raised my arm as did the reflection. I reached up and grabbed my left ear and pulled it towards my face. It was as large as my entire head! "What happened to me!" I yelled.
"We were turned into Pokémon in order to hide from the cops last night. Me and Emily here, are Pikachu. You are a Pichu. So, in a sense, you are the baby of the species." Austin said as Emily climbed out of the same bush. She saw my horrified look and snickered.
"H-how did this happen?" I asked, on the verge of crying.
"I did it while you were asleep. We were running and there would have been no way to escape otherwise. I used a sphere to transform everyone. While that happened, I teleported everyone to a clearing near here." A new and deeper voice said from behind. I jumped and looked behind me. A mouse larger than both Emily and Austin stared down at me.
"Who are you, and what are you?" I asked impatiently.
"I am Jeffric. I am the one who got you away from those people. I am in the form of a Raichu." the newcomer replied.
"So, when can we change back?" I asked nervously.
"That's the catch. It turns out that we haven't lost the cops, in fact several of them saw Jeffric's little magic trick and are still on to us." Austin said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"So let me get this straight, a couple of cops sees a bunch of kids turn into mice and they don't think they are going insane?" I asked skeptically.
"Well, they don't think we turned into Pokémon. They saw us disappear and they think that we had a psychic type teleport us away from the "crime scene"." Emily explained.
"Which is true." Jeffric inserted.
"Yeah, and now they have our picture and a sketch of Jeffric's face all over the news and on the Net." Austin added.
"How long do we have to stay like this?" I began to whine.
"About a month or two, just to be safe. They will eventually lose interest in us." Jeffric replied.
"What about our mission! That would put us way behind! Isn't there something we can do?" I yelped.
"It can't be helped, I'm afraid. This time period is very hard to hide in because of all of the security. I tried talking to Celebi, but she said it was too risky to pull y'all out of the time line." Jeffric answered.
"We can still travel, but it will take a long time." Emily said. I felt like I was about to die, there was no way on this green Earth that I was going to stay like this for an entire month. I don't care if we get caught! I don't want to be a rat!
At that moment, I felt a growing warmth near my cheeks. The warmth grew until it started to become unbearable. I began to cry out as the warmth became a searing pain. It felt like an eternity had past as I struggled to keep my cries quiet. There was a definite crackle and a loud pop. The pop threw me backwards. I didn't bother getting up. It hurt way too much. I felt like I had just used a welder on myself. Austin and Emily bounded towards me.
Austin's POV
"Devin!" Emily and I yelled in unison. The small discharge Devin released caused him to fall flat on his back. Emily and I instantly ran to his side. The Pichu was completely dazed and didn't respond to anything we did.
"You two don't need to worry. He will be fine in a couple of minutes. You have to keep in mind that Pichu often shock themselves on accident." Jeffric lectured.
"I guess it's hard to remember that when your family shouldn't even be Pokémon." I muttered as I looked over Devin.
"Great… not only… am I an electric rat, I am also one that can't keep myself from getting shocked." Devin murmured, snapping out of his daze.
"Are you ok?" Emily asked.
"Y-yeah. I just feel like I was hooked up to the power grid for a minute." Devin replied shakily.
"Everyone, we need to watch Devin carefully. Since he can't control his electricity, he could very well kill himself if he uses to much electricity." Jeffric informed us. Devin looked up at him, trying to judge whether he was kidding or not. Apparently, he wasn't.
"Great, I can kill myself on accident. Thanks guys, I can't tell you how great that makes me feel." Devin pouted. I laughed at my brother's sarcasm. When he heard me laugh, he began pouting even more.
"Um, guys? Where is Elweard, Brand, and Teresa?" Emily asked, effectively ending my laughter.
"Crap! I can't believe that we forgot about them!" I dashed back through the bush and into the area we hid our stuff. I had hidden our belongings in a hollowed out tree stump in a separate clearing. I was about to burst out, but caught myself when I heard voices ahead. Human voices.
"Call HQ and tell them that we found high traces of psychic energy in the area. This is where they teleported to." a man in a blue uniform said as he put away a Geiger meter looking device.
"Should we call up the Feds? I mean, these kids were in the custody of the CWSA." the other officer asked.
"Are you kidding me? They already know. Those two agents that had the kids are going to be all over this place as soon as they can. All we can do, is try to get as much evidence as we can before they tear through here and bungle it all up."
"Alright, I'll call it in back at the squad car. You go ahead and get the Growlithe out and searching."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say. Come on out Growlithe!" the man said enthusiastically as he tossed a Pokéball into the air.
"Crap!" I muttered as I dived back into the bush.
"Man, you act just like my five year old daughter every time you release that Pokémon."
"Hey, once a trainer, always a trainer." the officer with the Growlithe laughed. The other officer rolled his eyes and headed back to the squad car. "Alright Growlithe, we are looking for anything out of the ordinary. Let me know if you find anything relating to three kids."
"Sir, yes sir!" the Growlithe barked as his head went straight to the ground.
'Crap, crap, crap!' I thought as the Growlithe began his work. I tried to think up of a way to get to the log, but nothing I thought of seemed to be a very good idea. Heck, I didn't even know how to use Pokémon moves. All I could do was watch in horror as the canine slowly made his way towards the log where we stored our stuff. Without thinking, I jumped out of the bush and landed in the clearing.
"A Pikachu, huh. Growlithe don't get distract. Keep searching." the police officer ordered with little interest.
'Jeez, wasn't expecting that.' I thought as I switched strategies.
"Hey, you're a Growlithe! I haven't seen your kind here in like forever!" I said, trying to sound surprised.
"Get lost rat, I have work to do." the Growlithe replied gruffly.
"Why is it that everyone I have met calls me a rat! I'm a mouse, not a rat! There is a difference!" I shouted out of annoyance.
"Don't care. Go away." the Growlithe replied as he continued to search. "Ha, found something!" He barked quickly following one of our human scent trails towards the log. He got so close that my heart felt like it was going to explode. As he began to enter, I closed my eyes as hard as I could. Before I knew what was happening, I felt a surge of energy build up in my cheeks. I opened my eyes and saw sparks flying away from me. The surge increased and shot away from me towards the Growlithe. It missed by several inches, but it was close enough that it gave him a scare.
"I-I am s-so sorry. I really didn't mean for that to happen!" I was shaking the entire time I stammered out the apology.
"Did you just try to shock me?" the Growlithe asked slowly and menacingly.
"I-It was an accident; I swear!" I said frantically. The Growlithe was slowly making his way toward ne. His speed was deliberately slow.
"I told you to get lost, yet you stayed. Why is that, hmm? Do, you know who the kids we are looking for?" he interrogated.
"I don't know what you are talking about!" I replied nervously. Not seeing any other option, I made a mad dash for the underbrush. I looked back to see the Growlithe chasing after me. As I ran, I noticed Jeffric sneaking into the log. There was a small flash and Jeffric left the log. I breathed a sigh of relief and continued running.
"Growlithe! What did I tell you about getting sidetracked? The first five minutes was funny, but now it is getting out of hand! Let the Pikachu go, and get back to work!" the officer yelled out of frustration. The Growlithe slowed to a mild walk and growled at me.
"I better not see you again." the Growlithe warned. I gulped and nodded. He turned around and I made a dash for the brush.
Devin's POV
"Did you enjoy your little game of cat and mouse?" I asked with a smirk. Emily and I had watched the entire ordeal from the safety of the nearby bushes. Austin looked at me wearily.
Before he could answer, Emily jumped at him. "You idiot! What do you think you were doing? You ran up to the cops, then you tried to shock something that could have turned you into barbeque!" She began smacking him several times. I couldn't help but to laugh at my brother and girlfriend. It was like watching a comedy. As I laughed, I felt a trickle of warmth build up again. I began to panic which seemed to speed the impending shock.
"Guys..." I whined as the electricity increased. They ran to me, quickly realizing what was happening.
"Jeffric! Devin is about to shock himself again!" Austin yelled. Jeffric, who had just returned from his little stealth mission, walked leisurely towards us.
"Don't worry, this one won't be too bad, he already used up most of his electricity. He might not even feel this one." Jeffric replied. I calmed down long enough to assess myself. My cheeks definitely felt warm and I could see sparks flying away from me. However, the sparks were extremely weak. The warmth in my cheeks was unquestionably discomforting, but it wasn't painful. Austin and Emily still looked worried, but they began to back up. Just as they did, the warmth began to die away. I saw an arch of electricity flew a couple inches away from me and land harmlessly onto the soft soil.
"Um, guys? Does this happen a lot with Picchu?" I asked nervously.
"First, it is Pichu; yes this happens a lot to Pichu. It happens because you can't control your electric sacks in your cheeks." Jeffric responded.
"Ok, so what can cause me to shock myself?"
"Pichu, shock themselves when they are surprised, laughing, angry, or scared." Austin answered.
"So, you are telling me that basically, can't get surprised, be happy, get mad, or joke; if I do any of those things, I get shocked?" I asked incredulously. Austin and Jeffric nodded.
"Let's talk about something else." Emily interrupted, seeing that I was about explode. "Did you manage to grab our stuff?"
"I reached the log and teleported everything to Celebi's place. I can teleport the Pokéballs back if you want." Jeffric offered.
As Jeffric, Austin, and Emily talked. I heard something in the distance. I wasn't positive, but it sounded like the cop from earlier and it sounded like they found something.
"You did get everything, right? You didn't accidentally forget anything?" I asked suspiciously.
"Of course I got everything. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, no reason. I just thought I heard something from that general direction. If you are quiet, you may be able to hear it." I replied flippantly. Everyone stopped talking and listened for several minutes. The air was nearly silent. Nearly silent. Over the silence was a slight interruption. Voices, both human and Pokémon. The human seemed excited, the Pokémon seemed surprised. We could barely make out what was being said, but we could all piece together the meaning.
"Carl, we… watch… log. It… name… the kids…close by. What… you… do?" the voice said over the distance. It was hard to make out but the excitement should have been a sufficient warning. It was obvious that Jeffric had accidentally forgotten something.
"We need to move!" I said urgently.
"We'll be fine. They won't give a crap about us because we are Pokémon at the moment." Austin replied hastily. That was when the Pokémon, which was the dog thing Austin had been running from, howled.
"This doesn't… sense! He can't… Pikachu. How… possible? I… warn… master!" the Pokémon exclaimed.
I looked back at the group; their expressions were all the same. It dawned on them that their carelessness had just ruined our cover.
Austin's POV
We took off as soon as possible. We had to carry Devin because he wasn't very good at walking, much less running.
We put as much distance between us and the cops. I never would have guessed that we would be running from them in our current condition, but hey, Pokémon weren't supposed to exist either. Our group began to tire as the evening began to set in. Jeffric reverted back to his shiny Mew form began a quick search of the area.
"We can stop here for the night. I don't sense anything within a ten mile radius of here." Jeffric declared. Emily collapsed and I placed Devin on the ground before collapsing beside him.
"Why couldn't we have just teleported like last time?" Emily murmured as she lay on the ground.
"Because, they can track that, remember?" I muttered tiredly. "Devin, are you ok? Devin?" I looked over at my "little" brother and smiled slightly. He was sound asleep, his little tail twitching as he snored lightly.
"Let's get a fire going and get some dinner." Jeffric said as he began gathering some sticks.
"What can we eat exactly? I am not eating insects or anything like that." Emily said firmly.
"Ha ha, you don't have to eat insects. Pikachu tend to eat berries and other plants, although they will sometimes eat some meat depending on if it is easy to get a hold of." Jeffric laughed.
Emily's POV
Jeffric pretty much set up camp. He gathered beds of grass, started a fire, and gathered up berries and roots we could eat. I felt bad for not helping him, but I didn't know the first thing about berries, or how to start a fire without matches. Jeffric didn't seem to mind though.
We went about the evening like any other evening. Well, as close as any other evening as we could. We woke Devin up for dinner, which he ate begrudgingly. He complained that he wasn't just some animal, but Austin laughed and said that he sure looked like one. They argued for a couple of minutes before Jeffric broke it up. We sat in silence for a little while. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence. It was more like the kind that one would have if they just wanted to listen to the silence. Devin, however, destroyed that.
"So, how did you guys react when you guys saw you weren't human?" he asked curiously.
"Shocked, more than anything. I woke up to find that my butt was very sore and when I stood up, my tail sagged a bit. That is what tipped me off. There shouldn't have been any sagging at all!" Austin laughed as he scratched the back of his head.
"I woke up to Austin screaming. That was the first thing I noticed. His voice sounded like a little girl. At the time, I was confused, but now that I think about it, it was actually pretty funny. You should have heard him. For ten whole minutes, he was shouting, "I have a freaking tail! Somebody cut it off! Help me!" I laughed.
"Devin, don't you dare say a word. Your reaction was a lot worst than mine." Austin warned coldly.
"At least I didn't tell the world to cut off an appendage just because I panicked." Devin snickered.
"Anyway, I woke up on my side with my arm er, fore-paw? Either way, I woke up with it supporting my head. It was a very rude awaking. When I looked at my arm, I was speechless, I didn't know how to react." I admitted.
"So, what did you do?" Devin asked enthusiastically.
"Well, my reaction was very shocking, literally. I shot electricity everywhere. I even hit Austin who was still rambling on about having to go into hiding, and being a social outcast. He didn't seem to be hurt from the hit but it surprised him."
"Hate to tell you this Austin, but you already are and outcast. You were one ever since middle school." Devin gibed.
"Oh yeah, well you seem to forget that I was the one who introduced you to Emily!" Austin shot back.
"You didn't introduce us, you ran your bike into her dad's week old truck! I had to take you over there so you could apologize and pay for the damage!" Devin replied hotly.
"Will you guys quit it! Gosh, all you two do is argue!" I yelled. Of course, they didn't pay any attention to me.
"That wasn't my fault and you know it! You sabotaged my bike!" Austin yelled back.
"I told you that it was falling apart! If you had waited another couple of hours, I would have finished fixing it! You are such a freaking loser!" Devin responded fervently.
"Well, shrimp, if you hadn't of panicked, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
"Here we go again, you are going to forever hold that over my head, aren't you?"
"Are they always like this?" Jeffric whispered.
"Just about, they normally can't go a single day without insulting each other. This is actually a pretty tame argument. The last one ended up with Devin being kidnapped by those thugs." I explained. Jeffric nodded in understanding and decided to break up the fight.
"Come on you two, we have other things to do besides fighting." he said as he stood between the two.
"Big mistake." I muttered as I watched the drama that was about to unfold.
"You! You're the one who turned me into a kid! You don't get to have a say in this, so get lost!" Devin erupted.
"Stay out of this! You may have saved us, but turning us into Pokémon wasn't exactly the brightest idea you have ever had!" Austin added.
"While we are on that, why did you make me some tiny version of them! At least they don't have to worry about short circuiting!" Devin shouted.
"I couldn't control that! I swear! It's all based on age!" Jeffric replied defensively, raising his paws to show that he had no control.
"Jeffric, get back here before they tear you apart!" I demanded. Jeffric instantly floated back to my side and watched as the two began to insult each other again. "You might want to bring Teresa back now. She can handle them."
"Good idea." Jeffric snapped his fingers and an old fashioned Pokéball appeared next to us. I tried twisting the knob but found that my tiny paws weren't very good at twisting large objects.
"I can't open it." I said as I pushed it towards Jeffric.
"My paws aren't much different than yours. What makes you think that I can open it?" Jeffric asked.
"Because, you are psychic or whatever. Just use your brain. Y'know, mind over matter?" Jeffric shot me the "I can't believe you just said that" look before looking at the Pokéball. It began to glow a slight red and the knob began to twist. Seconds later, the capsule popped open. Teresa appeared in a blinding flash. Austin and Devin stopped arguing and stared up at the dinosaur with fear.
"What is going on, here? Who are all of you?" Teresa asked as she looked around. Jeffric floated into her line of sight. "Master Jeffric, how may I be of service?"
"First, I better explain what is going on. My mate hasn't taught me the whole memory transfer thing so I'll have to give you the run down." Jeffric started. Before he continued Austin interrupted him.
"Let me get this straight, you can turn people into Pokémon, yet you can't just show somebody your memories? That is pretty lame." he said.
"Look, it was in case of an emergency! I never needed to show someone memories before!" Jeffric replied heatedly. He turned back to Teresa and calmed down. Austin didn't let it go.
"And you had to turn people into Pokémon before last night? Is that some kind of thing that you legendaries enjoy doing?" Austin shot back.
"I am going to choose to ignore that. Anyways, the gist of it is that these three are Emily, Devin, and Austin. They will be like this for a month and I can't handle the arguing and it has only been a day."
"I assume that Devin is the Pichu?" Jeffric nodded. Teresa sighed then looked a Devin with an evil gleam in her eye. "Devin Lee! Get over here now! We have a few things we need to address." Devin gulped and sat where he was. "I mean it! Get over here."
"I d-don't really k-know how to walk y-yet." Devin stuttered out of embarrassment.
"Fine, I will come to you then." Teresa took one gigantic step. The step took her straight to Devin where she picked him up gently.
"Hey what are you doing? You are going to drop me!" Devin screamed fearfully.
"Don't worry, I am not going to drop you. Your size reminds me of when Hope was first born. Though, she is quite a bit bigger than you are now." Teresa crooned as she looked down at Devin.
"I bet I remind you all about her. Aside from having scales shape teeth, sharp claws, being a girl, and being cold blooded, I bet I am a spitting images of her." Devin spat.
"Devin, you are a girl remember?" Austin teased.
"Shut up you pointy eared, freak!" Devin shouted.
"Devin, stop yelling at your brother. It is his fault he is acting immature. Austin, you need to stop teasing Devin if you ever expect him to listen to you. Do you hear me?"
"Yeah, I know." Austin muttered. "Sorry."
"Whatever. Just leave me alone." Devin replied angrily.
"Devin…" Teresa warned.
"Fine, I'm… basically sorry." Devin conceded.
"See? I told you that would work." I whispered to Jeffric.
"I will be thanking Celebi for bring Teresa in on this." he replied.
Third Person POV
"Hey Jim, did the guys out in the boonies get back yet?" a man in a lab coat asked as he walked through the autopsy room door.
"Yep, and they brought you a few samples of hair that they need you to check. Apparently they want to be double sure that they are on the right track. After all, it isn't everyday that the guys from CWSA screws up this big."
"Yeah, I heard that it was the biggest screw up in CWSA history." the first man replied with a chuckle.
"Joseph, you better get started, or else the boss man will turn the next week into a living hell for you." Jim said sternly.
"Aw, come on, man. You are so boring." Joseph whined. Jim couldn't understand how this man could have possibly been placed at the head of forensics. He just wasn't serious enough. No matter, Jim knew that it wasn't any of his business and that Joe definitely had a knack for finding the things that others easily overlooked.
"Just get going, the rest of the group can't be kept waiting just because you don't want to do your job." Jim said firmly.
"Alright, I guess I'll head up to evidence and get the samples. Don't let anyone into the forensics lab until I am done." Joe replied in a mock serious tone. Jim rolled his eyes as he left.
Three hours later
Joseph ran through the hallway until he reached James Gamble. The door was closed, but the lights were on. That was good enough for Joseph as he barreled through the door.
"Joseph Snyder! What is the meaning of this!" James yelled as the younger Joseph came to a halt. The office was nothing special with just a desk, computer, filing cabinet, and a couple of chairs in it. James, however, still felt that it was an invasion of his privacy whenever the younger man burst into his office without permission. Especially when he was trying to update his boss on what had killed their latest victim.
"Jim, I am sorry, but this is more important then a stab wound made by a long needle behind the left ear." Joseph said quickly as he tossed a folder onto the nearby desk.
"Joe, what's got you all upset?" Ralph Taylor, their boss, asked as he studied the youngest member on the team.
"Do you remember that case the CWSA came to us with. The one that Ralph here turned down because it really wasn't our kind of thing?" Joe asked.
"Yeah, what about it? The only reason I put you on the DNA samples was to get them to leave us alone."
"Yeah, well, this just became our case. Have a look." Joe said as he opened the folder.
"Alright, Joe, this better be good, or I will skin you alive." Jim Gamble muttered as he and Ralph Taylor looked over the results.
Now all three men were fair skinned. Taylor was much old than both the other men which showed through his white streaked, black hair and small beard. He was seasoned and still fit for his age. His height really gave him the advantage over most men. He was about six foot eight, and towered over his compatriots. His hazel colored eyes scanned the pages in the folder with experienced precision.
Gamble was shorter; about an even six foot. He had neatly combed, brown hair and wore a pristine white lab coat. All of his clothing was pressed and professional. His brown eyes were proud from years of dutiful service to the Special Investigations Unit or SIU.
Joseph was the really oddball/wild-card. He had messy blonde hair and a "I am always right" attitude. The man was the shortest member of the group standing at only five foot seven. Anyone who didn't know him would have thought of him as sloppy, but in reality, it was more of an organized chaos. His blue eyes had the "I told you so" look in them as the expression of James Gamble transformed into one of surprise.
"Are you sure that this test is accurate?" Ralph Taylor asked as he placed the file back on the desk.
"Yes, I checked three times. It is accurate." Joe confirmed.
"Then we better call the CWSA and tell them we are willing to help." Taylor said as he left the office.
"There is only one group that I know of who has tried this. If it is them and they succeeded, then we are in for a world of hurt." Jim muttered as he looked down at the genetic data.
"I think that Team Rocket has finally found a way to splice the DNA of two species, and these kids are the result of that." Joe confirmed.
