Chapter 8

She then pointed to the two front doors of Pokétech,

"Hyper beam!" she said wiping the tear from her eye. Tyranitar quickly executed the attack and the whole of the front of the building was blown apart. She than walked in, no one tried to stop her, mainly because there wasn't anyone there conscious enough to realise what had happened.

She then stopped in front of the door, the door that leads to Professor Sarla's lab. She took a deep breath then burst through the door and quickly gained all the scientists attention. I heard many whispers as Amy angrily looked around at them

"It's her!", "Oh no!", "Not again!"

"So! Which one of you is going to tell me what you meant when you kidnapped me?" there was silence. Then I noticed the professor get up out of his chair and begin walking a few steps towards her.

"Ok… Fine I'll tell you" He seamed quite reluctant to enlighten us about this whole mystery virus thing.

"We were chosen to carry out a secret project…"

"By who?" Amy quickly interrupted

"We cannot say… Sorry" Amy then relaxed and leant against the wall and listened.

"Ok, the project was on Ditto. We wanted to see if we could extract and copy the part of a Ditto's DNA that allows it to morph into what ever Pokémon it wants and…"

"And what?"

"Well it was, I have to admit, a complete failure at first, each Pokémon we gave it to rejected it followed with many other serious symptoms which we were only just able to control. Nearly losing those Pokémon made me think 'what Pokémon is weak enough for its body to have to accept the single gene but strong enough to be able to continue copying it throughout its body'…"

"Well…" Amy said sounding fairly interested as if she was being told a story.

"Then it struck me, an egg!"

"An egg?"

"Yeah, because it's only developing it will not fight the new gene but because it's developing it will copy it and spread it throughout its body. So I went down to the local Daycare and asked for an egg, any egg and the Daycare lady gave me one, her latest edition and I took it up to the lab. I injected the egg with the new gene and nothing happened for a while so I believed that maybe it had been… another failure"

"But…"

"But then something happened, something very unexpected… It changed!"

"But I thought you said it was inside an egg?" Amy said confused

"Yes… It was, that was what caught me off guard… It then kept changing and changing and changing until… inevitably it changed into something too big for the egg to hold and the egg cracked way before it's time. I called in everyone to try and save the Pokémon which was slowly… well… dying"

"Ugh, scientists!" Amy said, it was stereotypical that scientists kill Pokémon 'by accident' during their experiments.

"It was difficult considering it was still transforming during the procedure but we managed to save it… which actually may have been more of a curse than a blessing… Soon things began to improve, the Pokémon was only transforming every few hours but we were still working on that but…"

"But what?"

"Then something went wrong, we don't know what exactly but it began to go… mad! We strapped it to a table and scanned it only to find that the gene we had put into it had formed into a kind of creature within the Pokémon. Not a proper creature more a microbial creature like… A virus, and this creature carried the gene. We quickly realized that it could infect and potentially change a human or Pokémon it infected"

"So how did I come to get the virus?"

"Well when we continued examining it finding out other stuff like it would only be able to infect one fully grown human and that even that human wouldn't be able to pass it on successfully"

"Cut the crap! How did I get the virus?" Amy said irritably

"Well we forgot about the whole transforming thing as we were too busy trying to eliminate this virus when it transformed. It turned into an Eevee but there was something wrong with it, it was as if it had mixed with other Pokémon, it had eyes of and Arbok and fangs of a Golbat. We were… Too afraid to try and get it as we didn't want us or our Pokémon to become infected, we had no idea what it would to us. So it escaped, thankfully it was night time so there wasn't many people out"

"You idiots!" Amy said angrily, the professor sighed and carried on

"Then we found it lying on the ground, unconscious and unfortunately it never recovered. We then did further tests and found out our worst fears had been recognized..."

"What?" Amy said slightly less angrily

"It had bitten some one, injecting the virus into the person or Pokémon. It wouldn't have been so bad if it had been a Pokémon, but we did further tests and found Human DNA on its fangs. We had to inform our superior what had happened and... And well let's say he wasn't pleased but then again..." as he said this all the scientists began pulling odd faces at him.

"I swear I saw a smile on his face... juts for a split second..." he whispered to himself.

"Hang on... So how did I get the virus?" Amy said irritably

"Oh that's simple, if you had a lot of physical contact with the carrier then you may have captured the virus within you and it would have filtered into your blood, but because you weren't either of the 'original hosts' then it quickly died..." Amy looked down at me sadly and I just stared back at her.

"So how do I change him back!" She shouted clenching her fist.

"Uhh..." He and the other scientists began backing away slowly.

"Well!"

"I'm sorry Amy... But we simply don't know, we have no means of reconstructing his original DNA..." A look of fear quickly grew across his face as Amy's began to get angrier. She turned away and opened the door and whispered angrily to my Pokémon

"Kill them..." She then closed the doors behind her. My Pokémon then obediently began charging up their most power full attacks. I was shocked, frozen with fear of what Amy was forcing my Pokémon to do... even though I've had my fair share of 'dark deeds' that was behind me... and behind my Pokémon...

"STOP!" I shouted and my Pokémon looked at me with confusion and their energy began to dissipate.

"Leave it! We're going!" I said pushing the swing doors open with my head and walking through them. My Pokémon quickly and obediently followed me through the building. We got outside to see Amy looking on angrily towards the build leaning against my car. She then looked at us startled.

"W... Why haven't you done it?" she asked angrily, knowing quite well that they haven't done as she had commanded. I shook my head in response. I then jumped up into the car and sat on the passenger seat and she looked at me bewildered.

"But..." I then shook my head more vigorously, I would not allow her to hurt anyone else, we were leaving.

"I... I don't get it... Don't you feel angry at what they have done to you...? At what they've taken away from you...?" tears began to form in her eyes again and I could see her pain. She feels that she's lost me forever, but I know this won't be the end of us... It can't be...
