"We bid you a warm welcome, altered ones." Entei spoke, the splices understanding his speech as if it was natural language. "We have been expecting you."
The newcomers were silent as they stood in the clearing near the pond. Then, after a few moments, they dropped to their knees, bowing before the Legedary beasts, Mewtwo, Mew, and Celebi.
Avery, however, was unsure of what to do. He stood there, not in defiance, but confusion.
"…Why the hell would you be expecting us?!" Avery exclaimed.
"Avery! These are the legendary beasts! Show some respect…" Takuya said, shocked at Avery's outburst.
"We understand your confusion, Avery Cornell." Suicune reassured. "Your bodies have been changed against your will, and all of you now control powers that you do not fully understand or have mastered. Please, be calm. All will be made clear."
Avery fought the urge building inside him to drop to his knees. "…I don't understand! Why do I feel like this?! What is going on with me?!" Avery clasped the sides of his head. "I don't get it…"
Raikou jumped off the rock he was standing on, landing on the ground. He then started to walk up to Avery.
Avery's heartrate jumped instantly. Though he was unsure of what to do. His instincts felt like they had gone haywire, he wasn't sure if he should run, or just stay and trust Raikou. Part of him was saying, 'There's nothing to be afraid of. He's not going to hurt you, calm down' whereas the other part was screaming 'What the hell are you doing?! Get moving, don't just stand there! He'll slash you to ribbons'! Hence to say, his fight-or-flight responses were failing him right now.
"You are conflicted, Avery. Your Human half is telling you to run, yet your Pokemon half is telling you otherwise. All of you are in a unique situation." Raiko stopped in front of Avery, rubbing the side of his head against Avery's leg in reassurance. "You still bear parts of your human selves, but you now possess parts of us… How the humans were able to acquire our essence and combine it with your is still a mystery. But you have our reassurances, we will do our best to help you through this."
Suicune and Entei then jumped off the stones they were occupying and walked up to Kasi and Takuya, echoing Raikou's reassurance.
Avery calmed down a bit but was still unsure of himself. He sat down in the grass. "…I don't know, it's… It's like I barely know who I am, anymore, Raikou. I know that I'm still, me, from when I was human. But now… It's like there's another half to my personality, a half I never knew existed. This other half… It's wild, untamed… Almost primal, and it terrifies me."
"I have to agree." Kasi said, looking at Suicune. "It's been thrust on us so sudden. The abilities, the powers, the enhanced senses… None of us were prepared for it."
"It's understandable." Entei agreed.
Then, they heard a noise in the trees, several things rampaging through the brush.
Emerging from the brush was two other splices, a Solgaleo and a Machoke, pursued by three hostile Pokemon! A Tyranitar, an Onix, and a Gengar!
