Hey, everyone! Here's the first chapter of Poke-Fusion! I know the prologue was short, but hopefully this will tie you all over for a little while. I don't own Pokemon! Please leave a review!

Aftermath

Modern Day

Eclipse POV

"Fire Blast!"

Gritting my teeth, I gathered my aura into a sphere and released it into the fiery symbol before it could make contact. A smirk found its way onto my face as I glanced over my shoulder at balcony where the doctors stood. Launching into the air, I formed a bone club in my hands and swung it at them.

The doctors flinched as it made contact with the protective glass, but one stepped forward and met my challenging glare. "Now, now, Eclipse, none of that today."

I huffed, landing with a soft thump and crossing my arms. "You're no fun."

The doctor laughed, descending the staircase to meet me at the bottom. He was Dr. Draco, Eclipse's personal caretaker and one of his closest friends. Standing at six feet seven and sporting a wild haircut the color of vermillion, he was very easy to pick out from a crowd. "Come on, let's take a walk."

...

Following him down the hallway, he began his usual interrogation. "What do you think about this fusion? It's a fighting type, just as you requested."

"It's impressive," I said, glancing down at my black hands. "It's a Lucario, correct?"

He nodded. "But you prefer a fire-type, am I right?"

Around here I'm known as Eclipse. I was once a Marine, but had medical difficulties and was forced out. Since then, my warrior spirit has been restless and hungry for battle. Dr. Draco, a friend from childhood, came and suggested that I take part in a Pokemon experiment. My current medical history wasn't a problem since the experiment's sponsors said they would pay for any issues that would come up.

The experiment focuses on humans gaining similar Pokemon characteristics through transfusions on the cellular level. We were asked to chose a Pokemon at the beginning of the study and they would serve to provide the cells needed to conduct the experiments. So far, my health has improved exponentially thanks to the cells of a Blazikin and my companion Charizard. Today was a trial of a fighting-type cells and the end result wasn't too shabby, but I wasn't as comfortable with it as with the previous fire-type cells. Not to mention the physical effects with a Lucario were far from favorable.

"Eclipse, they have a job for you."

I perked up as he gave me the shot to cancel out the Lucario's cells and sighed as my physical appearance returned to normal. "Let me guess, it's about another Pokemon recovery mission."

Draco laughed. "Close. You recall that incident I told you about before you came to assist us?"

"The escaped experiment," I nodded. "What about it?"

"They want you to go undercover and retrieve it."

"Not happening." I stood, preparing to exit the room. "Nothing you say will change my mind either."

Draco sighed, resting his back against the wall. "And here I give you a chance to find a girl."

Rolling my eyes, I turned back to poke him in the chest. "That's enough incentive to you, but I'm not a lady killer like you."

He shrugged me off, his look turning serious as he handed me a file. "This is her file. Will you at least think about it?"

My eyes locked on the file. It wouldn't hurt to at least take a peak... "I'm not making any promises." I said, tucking the file into my leather jacket and heading back to my quarters.

Blaze greeted me with a head butt to the chest, knocking me down onto my bed. He was my companion as well as my best friend. I pulled out the file and opened it up. There was a picture of a girl around 11 next to a sketch of an older version, what she would look like today; high cheekbones, big eyes, small mouth, brown hair. In the photograph, she was holding hands with a Riolu as they played near a waterfall. "They are saying that this little girl managed to escape by herself?" I raised an eyebrow, sitting up and showing it to Blaze. "What do you think?"

Draco POV

Ever since I came to work for this group, things have been progressing at a startling pace. The first experiment that occurred over eleven years ago had resulted in something that we didn't think was possible. They were fools to underestimate the consequences and I had personally witnessed the catastrophic result, and it still haunted me to this very day. Picking up a copy of the file that I handed Eclipse, I took each piece of paper and fed it through the shredder, recalling the day that changed everything...

"Dr. Draco, I don't feel so well..."

I kneeled down to her level, placing a hand against her forehead. "What's the matter?"

She shivered violently as Riolu wrapped a blanket around themselves. "My head is throbbing and I'm seeing strange things..."

Glancing at her desk, I noticed that her food looked strange. "Do you remember who brought your dinner?"

Her eyes swam out of focus and I found figure darkness into the shadow of a figure. Placing her under the bed covers, I grabbed one of the test tubes and inspected it under the microscope. My gut twisted in worry as I confirmed it to be Riolu's cells along with those belonging to a Zoroark and Latias. If someone happened to slip her more cells than what was the decided dosage, including more types, she could be in trouble.

"Ri!"

I spun around as a blue light exploded from where she had been lying, covering my ears as she began screaming. When the smoke cleared, I found her levitating a few inches from the floor, thrashing around and clawing at herself as if something was trying to surface from inside. Thinking quickly, I grabbed Riolu and strapped on a traveling pack then turned it to face me. "You need to get her out of here."

"Ri ri!" It nodded in understanding.

"Make sure you go somewhere safe so they can't find you." I said, hugging it briefly. "Its' all up to you, now."

It nodded again, surround its trainer in a protective aura, and they vanished in a flash of blue. For hours I waited in my quarters, worried that they would be caught any second. It wasn't until 2:01 that I was summoned back to her chambers and given information about what had happened to her once Riolu had teleported them from this place.

"I'm so sorry, Riolu..." I whispered, shredding the last document. "It wasn't supposed to end like this."

I sat upright as the the door opened, revealing Eclipse and Blaze, causing one of my eyebrows to rise.

"Don't give me that look," Eclipse huffed, plopping down into a bean bag chair as Blaze went to stand near my desk. "Blaze thought we should take a look, so count us in."

"Is that so?" I smirked, settling into a more comfortable position as he handed the file back to me. "So let me get this straight, you are agreeing to this because of Blaze?"

He shot me a glare. "Should I change my mind?"

"No, of course not." I said, waving a hand. "I trust you read all the details?"

"To be honest, I just skimmed it."

I mentally smacked him upside the head, but this could work to my advantage. My eyes shifted to the silent Charizard in the corner. If my plan was to work, I would need to be extra careful while executing this mission. Reaching under my desk, I flipped a lever as I sent the Charizard a nod.

Eclipse jumped as the door opened and people began filling the room, each holding a weapon that was pointed at his chest. "What's the big idea?!"

Standing, I walked over to Blaze, a smirk painted on my face. "I was wondering why you were snooping around the file room, but I never imagined that you were in league with the previous experiment." Keeping my front in their direction, I clasped a little traveling pack to Blaze. "How could you betray me, Eclipse, I thought you were my best friend."

The look he sent my way was hot enough to burn my insides. "You bastard!" He thrashed as they forced his arms behind his back. "Blaze, use Dragon Rage!"

I stepped back from the Charizard, nodding, and fell into darkness. It wouldn't be long now...
