Hey everybody, back again. A bit later on this update… please don't hurt me, I'll try to get it faster next time. I had so much stuff going on, that I just had no time to write most of the time. But when I did actually write, I did a bit, so this chapter will be longer than the others so far. Also, I had forgotten the disclaimers in my other chapters, so I will be going back and adding them, as well as a few new updates I thought of.

Last chapter:"Nova!" I heard inside my skull. "Stop! This isn't you!" "WHO DARES TELL ME WHO I AM?" I shouted back at the voice. I noticed men coming in to the room I was kept, guns in their hands. "Yourself." The guns went off and my body was met with thousands of volts of electricity. I fell to the ground, eyes still wide at what I had just heard. That didn't last for long however, as I felt the electricity push me into a deep sleep.
"Nova!"
The sound of my name being shouted at point blank range was enough to jar me out of what I thought was my electric induced coma. My eyes slowly opened to white all around me, and the brightness of it all made me shut them again.
"Come on Nova, get your eyes open!" the voice shouted again.
"Who… who are you?" I said slowly, as I inched my eyes open bit by bit, still only revealing the blinding white I woke up to.
"Don't you remember?" The voice giggled.
That's when it all came back to me. I shot up into a sitting position and buried my head in my hands. "Ohhhh god… what happened to me back there? It was like all my emotions just came together and took over… I hope no one got hurt in it. Well, I hope everyone but Claire and Brian got hurt."
"Your new emotions got the best of you. Now that you are a Pokémon, and a young one at that, you will be more easily driven by your emotions." The voice piped up.
"Ah yes, that reminds me…" I said as I took my head out of my hands. "Wait, I HAVE HANDS?!" I realized as I looked over my body. "I'M HUMAN AGAIN!"
"But unfortunately, not for long." The voice said, with a slight tone of amusement in its voice.
"Oh yes!" I said as I spun around and came face to face with… A red-eyed Mew.
"Hi!" The Mew said, startling me into taking a step back.
"But… You're… Wha? Did those crazies do this to you as well?" I said, astounded.
"Well, I guess technically they did. The thing is, I'm you, so when you got transformed, I was born. I am the embodiment of the mew side of you." It said.
I was dumbfounded. "That makes both absolute no sense, and a lot of sense. But this still doesn't answer the question…" I paused, looking at the Mew. "Who are you?"
I saw it open its mouth to speak, and then shut it with a quizzical look on its face. I could tell that it had found out exactly what I was asking. "I…" It started, "I don't know. I've been 'alive' in your head for about a day or two, because I woke up when you did. All I know is the things I've learned from watching you act. Which all in all, is just about nothing. But the real question is… Will you help me?"
"I- don't know. I know as much as you do about this situation, and to be honest, you probably know a bit more about being a mew than me. So I pose to you the same question. Can we-" I said as I held out my hand.
"Work together?" It finished, connecting its paw with my hand, transforming me into a mew.
I immediately fell to the ground, landing on my paws as I hit the floor. "Whoa, how did you just do that?" "Well, first of all, I'm a mew, we can do that. But that was just the effects of where we are. While we are here, you're in my domain, because this is where I live. This is your mind." It said.
"Really? I thought it would be a bit… nicer. Though I guess six months without being used would do that to a place." I said as I looked around the vast white nothingness "But you can really do anything here?" I said.
"Pretty much anything can happen, but most things you do here will not affect you in the real world. Basically only mind training will affect you. However, you can gorge yourself on doughnuts without repercussions!" Mew said as it spawned about a thousand doughnuts.
"Whoa!" I said as I got caught in the avalanche of doughnuts. "That's… FUCKING AWESOME!" I shouted as I started eating them… only to have them disappear right in front of my face. "But… What… doughnuts… I wanted to eat them!" I shouted, as I began to levitate without knowing. "Why? Why would you do a thing like that!?" I shouted at the mew, who was staring at me with narrowed eyes. "I was gonna… gonna have a… party… with the doughnuts… but now. They're. GONE!" I yelled as the space around me exploded with psychic power.
"Thought so." Mew mumbled, as he closed his eyes in concentration. I was immediately pushed down to the ground, struggling against a superior psychic force. "Let go of me!" I shrieked. "No! Not until you calm down! You need to regain control of yourself!" Mew shouted back. "Then this is how it's gonna be!" I shouted, using my own power to push back at it. The two massive forces collided, sending a shockwave across the plain of my mind. "Agh!" I shouted in pain, the fire in my eyes going out. "Ahhhh… Oh god… Why… Why did that happen? I couldn't control myself, just like before." I said, with remorse in my voice.
"It's just as I had predicted, when you get angry, your body and mind multiply that by quite a bit due to your... New circumstances. We can work on it when you are here, but that won't be too often for any sort of length." Mew said.
"Right… So- Actually, what am I supposed to call you? You weren't born with a name, soo…" I said, pondering name choices. "Actually, I had kinda already thought of that. If your actual name is Nova, but you were named Xeno upon transformation, why don't we just call me Xeno?" It suggested. "That's… actually a good idea. And it solves the problem of me being shitty with thinking names up. Also when am I able to leave this place?" I said. "I have no idea." The newly dubbed Xeno answered.

Turns out it was only about twenty minutes of waiting around before everything started to melt away around me, including Xeno. Startled, I tried to move towards him (I had found out he was in fact, male.), however, I found that I couldn't move, no matter how hard I tried. Everything continued melting around me, into a black void, and I felt my vision start to go black as well. I had never passed out before, so this was an odd experience, because the second I felt myself actually faint, I started to open my eyes to the real world.
"He's waking up!" I heard someone shout, no doubt talking about me. Seeing glass above me, I assumed I had been put in a chamber to track my vitals. I heard people scrambling around me, with shouts to follow. I sat up, and hit my head on the glass. Seems hitting my head was to be the recurring theme in this place. Putting my paw to my head, I looked out the glass, only to find lots of eyes peering in. Lots of eyes in white, scientist coats. Shit I thought, making sure not to transmit it to them. "Amazing!" "Wondrous!" "Algebraic!" I heard them say. Great, a bunch of predictable idiots pretending to be scientists, I thought distastefully. "Now, I believe the deal was that we could study it?" I heard one of them say. "What?!" I shouted sitting up and smashing through the glass, then immediately lying back down from the pain. "Uh, Jim, I think it heard you." "Impossible! That container is supposed to be soundproof. There's no way it could've heard me." "I believe you mean that container was supposed to be soundproof." I heard, along with gasps and the scrambling of feet.
"It's free!" I heard people shouting, as I sat up for a third time. Surprisingly, no one tried to do anything to me, but instead just tried to get out of the room we were in. Within seconds the room was empty, with me sitting in the middle of it, wondering what had just happened. All of a sudden the door opened again and in walks none other than… Brian. I could tell by his face that I should just go along with him, but I could hardly contain myself. There was so much to ask about, and talk. Closing my eyes and trying to restrain myself, I let him pick me up and carry me out of the room, back to the original one we were in. He put me down on a chair, and I opened my eyes, though I probably shouldn't have. The room looked like a bomb had exploded in it, walls were cracked, and various parts of the floor were missing. "Jeez, what did I do to this place?" I transmitted into both Brian, and Claire's head. Who were both sitting across from me. They both jumped, obviously forgetting I had telepathy.
"You mean you don't remember?" They both barked in unison. "I remember getting mad, destroying the cage, and a taser, then I blacked out." They both looked at each other, with a look that told me I had missed a few details. "Yeah… You didn't fall down after the taser, but that's about where we thought you would know to" Brian said. "Obviously you don't remember, so do you want the whole story, or the shortened story?" "Gimme the whole thing" I said with a sigh. "Alright," Sighed Brian. "I'll fill in from what you know."
"After the taser hit your body, and the electricity was transmitted, I saw the usual light and playfulness in your eyes go out… Only to be replaced with blood red of death. I was the only one who saw it, because your eyes immediately closed, as if concentrating. 'Get out of there!' I screamed to the people in the room." Brian started. Claire picked up with, "As soon as I heard Brian scream that, I looked up to see the urgentness in his eyes. You know the look. I got out as soon as I could, but the workers inside kept saying 'We've got it under control' and crap like that. More of them were pouring into the room, saying that they had you subdued with just the electricity. I was confused as to why I wasn't to be in there, but… Just a few seconds later the door slammed shut on a person, splitting him nearly in half. Everyone was stunned for a second, then everyone inside and outside, except us, was immediately at the door, banging, and trying to open it. We were watching you, as you reached up and slowly removed the taser darts from yourself. You opened your eyes then, and that's when I saw it. The red eyes that pierced me, just by looking."
"Xeno." I thought to myself, wondering why he had taken control of me.
That was about the time the idiots on the inside realized that they were truly trapped, and just what may have caused it. You could see the fear in their eyes as they slowly turned to face you, muttering things we couldn't hear. All of a sudden, one of the people in there, the one that tased you, got pulled to right in front of you, and he could not move. You could see it in his eyes that he didn't want to be there… I don't think anyone would've wanted to, to be honest. I guess in that moment you were talking to him telepathically, because his eyes went wide… right before… your hand went straight through his chest. Blood splattered everywhere, a volley of screams erupting from both inside and outside. The man fell to the ground, the life from his eyes as you looked at your blood spattered hands. Then you turned to the trapped crowd, and just… Fell down."
"What?"
"It was like the electricity got to you and you just fell to the ground. The door slammed open, crushing a person behind it with a sickening splat." She ended
"Why did I need to know that last part?" I asked.
"Ehhh, I dunno, just thought it may be funny."
"So I'm assuming you guys got blamed for all of this?"
"Yeah, we had to admit everything… except for knowing you before, we barely escaped that question" Brian said.
"They're suspicious of of now, though, so we have to be careful." Claire finished.
"Is there anything else I should know about?" I asked
"Uhhhmmm…" Brian said as he scratched the back of his neck. "This" Said Claire, as she held out a collar.
"NO NO NO ABSOLUTELY NOT NU UH NO GET OUT I SWEAR TO GOD-" I started to scream as I started to levitate.
"Wait, Nova; you can levitate?" Brian asked hastily.
"I WON- wait what?" I said, snapping out of my anger, but surprisingly staying in the air. "Hey, I am flying. How am I flying?" I said… before looking at the ground. "Woahhhh… everything looks so much higher when you're this small…" I managed to get out before blacking out… again.
I guess I only kinda blacked out, because I woke up when my head hit the ground. I immediately sat up and screamed my head out. (What? it hurt.) When I finally calmed down, I tried to levitate again. "Alright, concentrate…" I thought to myself, only to have it interrupted by a certain duo I had forgotten about. "Hey, Nova? You still alive?" Brian said. "Oh yeah, you two are still here." I said, realizing that I wasn't the only one in the room. "Not for much longer though." They retorted.
"And what do you mean by that?"
"We're on a timer you know. You aren't our only job here, just the main one." Claire responded. "I still can't believe we got put on trash duty..." they both grumbled, just as a loud 'Ding' was heard. "That's us, see you later." They sighed, exiting the room, leaving me sitting there.
Noticing they had a window near the door, I watched as they walked past it, without a glance my way… And then they got stopped. They went rigid as a man walked into the window space. He has a mighty smirk on his face, while both my friends exchanged nervous glances.
The man started talking, but I couldn't hear him. While I wondered what was being said at the time, I would find out soon enough. It looked like they were getting chewed out, because the new man was doing most of the talking, while Claire and Brian looked to be getting more and more nervous, looking at each other, and occasionally me. The entire talk was about five minutes long, but after the man looked like he was done, two big, burly men came out and grabbed both my friends, making my mouth drop to the floor at just how fast it had happened. The men took them both and picked them up. It was obvious their squirming was doing nothing. I thought they would be taken to some remote room, but… They were thrown back in with me, and the door slammed behind them.
When I say thrown, I mean literally thrown. Brutally. They looked pretty scratched up, and Brian's arm was even bent the wrong way. You could see on their faces the pain they were going through. "Welcome back." I thought to them. "Oh don't even start that, Nova" Claire yelled at me, obviously fed up with something. "What happened out there?" I asked once it looked like they were mostly through with the pain.
"We're so fucked." They said in unison. "Our entire cover here just got blown, and it's totally on us." "What do you mean?" I asked. "You know the whole, not knowing you thing? That's gone, because we called you Nova, and that's kinda a dead giveaway. Some other stuff happened, but I'm not gonna talk about it…" Brian continued. "They figured out that we came for you, and we just got the lecture of a lifetime. I'd go through it, but I don't wanna relive that. Pretty much, he said that we were gonna stay in here with you, because we are 'the same kind of scum as it'. Not sure what that means but I don't like the sound of it."
"Possibly…? No…" I thought to myself, before saying, "So I'm assuming you're in here for the long haul?" "Most likely." Claire replied. "Well get comfy, it's not pleasant in here." I said, before turning my back to go to sleep.
Holy crap, that took way too long to type, but I finally got it done, and hopefully you like it, I know I sure liked typing it. So Claire and Brian's cover was found out, what do you think will happen? If you want, guess in the reviews I know you are totally going to make… right? I know it took 2ish months, but each review and follow I get, makes these chapters come out faster. To be honest, I never really knew how much these review meant until I actually make my own story, but lemme tell you, it means a lot.
So please, review, follow, and you'll get your chapters faster. (Not to mention they will be longer) I'll see you next update then!
