Author's note: Ok, finally after quite some time, chapter four is finally here! Rejoice! I am not sure how this will turn out. Well, cross your fingers and hope for the best. Without further ado, let's begin.
Disclaimer: I will say this a thousand times, all material belongs to their respective owners. And for god sake poochyena stop chewing on the power converters. Hey wait! Ugh, while I try to catch poochyena, I suggest you read the story.
Soren's POV
Well, I can certainly say this stinks. Being captured by Team Rocket is never a good sign. And it's even a worse sign when I am stuck in a place that has a prison for living quarters. Nice life I'm having. Well I hope my pokémon and that chikorita are okay. Well let's check my surroundings. Well, I'm surrounded by concrete walls on three sides, and iron bars in front with guards patrolling the area itself. In the cell is a bed, a toilet which smells like nobody cleaned for quite some time now, a chair and a table with a pencil and paper.
"Hey, did you hear about the new project that Dr. Grant has started?" a guard asked. By the looks of it, he is a grunt indicated by the shevron on his shoulder.
"No, and if I were you, I'd keep my mouth shut. People who talk too much are never seen again," a corporal responded.
"He has a point. One of my co-workers didn't know when to shut up. The last time I saw him, he blew our cover and we barely escaped capture from the cops. And we all know what happens to the ones who fail Team Rocket," another guard said who was also a corporal.
Well, since I have nothing better to do, I guess I will eavesdrop on their little conversation.
"Ugh, don't remind me, on my first mission, I was reprimanded for failing my task. And it wasn't even an important one either," replied the other corporal with dread.
"I believe we can converse with the subject. After all, this is a high level facility. I received the clearance from the commander himself," the private stated.
"How you get away with this stuff I will never know," the cautious corporal said, shaking his head.
"Well, our shift is almost over, once it is, we can talk about this in a more secured place," said the man who just came in.
"Wha!? Were you eavesdropping on our every word Commander!?" the panicked corporal#2 asked.
"Well, let's not reveal the surprise that we have for our prisoner," the commander said.
A what? What kind of surprise? Ugh, knowing Team Rocket, it's never good. I might as well ask.
"What do you mean by surprise? Whatever it is, I will never take part in it," I said with anger.
"Well, I am afraid that will not be possible," he laughed, mocking me. "Speaking of which, Dr. Grant will be arriving shortly."
Well, at least I will see who this Dr. Grant is. And possibly what awaits me.
With nothing to do, I decided I should get some rest. Pondering upon my fate will not help me in escaping this place if the opportunity arises. An hour later, I was awakening rather roughly by a grunt.
"Get up; Dr. Grant is waiting for you."
With nothing to help me to escape, I was led down to a secret passage way to an elevator. After a few minutes, we arrived at the destination, which was several floors down.
"Dr. Grant, the prisoner is here."
"Thank you Mr. Rolfe, I shall take it from here. You are dismissed."
After the guard left, two men suddenly seized me and strapped me to a bed.
"Grrrrr, let me go!" I yelled, struggling to get free.
"You will get what you want soon enough Soren," he sneered.
How did that guy know my name? Well I guess that was a stupid question. My pokédex! It was on the table with my other things. That answers my question.
"So what do you want with me? I don't have anything you want other then my pokédex," I said angrily.
Dr. Grant just laughed and responded; "Well I am glad you asked, my boy. Unfortunately, I am afraid that you will have to find out for yourself."
After that, he used his syringe.
"Ow! Was that necessary? And what was in-" Soren never got the chance to finish what he was going to say as he blacked out.
"Well now, the boy is now asleep. He should not give us anymore trouble."
With that, Dr. Grant used the radio he had.
"Prepare for departure, we are moving out to the Sinnoh region."
"Yes sir!" responded the commander.
"Also, bring the boy to chamber TK-421. Stage 1 will commence shortly."
"Yes sir!"
We now go to our hero who is about to experience the worst yet…..
Ow..... My head hurts. What was in that thing anyway? And what did he meant by "Unfortunately, I am afraid that you will have to find out for yourself"? Things just don't add up. And now why are my legs hurting now? I really wish I kept my mouth shut because I soon found out why. My legs were shrinking, my bones were crunching up and turning green, I also felt the rest of my body change. I felt my toes fusing together to form a stub. I also lost my knees as well. Then I felt my mid section start to change. With bones crunching up and my whole body turned green. It was so painful I let out a scream. To my horror, the scream was not of my own. The change now moved up to my hands, losing all my digits but a stub. Then my head started to hurt the most. My head felt it was in a trash compacter being squished. Then I felt my organs change and with that I felt something sprout from my head, then something sprouted around my neck. After that, the pain receded and soon after I blacked out from exhaustion.
"Well, our project was a success. Inform Dr. Grant that the change is complete and begin loading operations. We are going to Sinnoh."
"Yes sir!"
Well, that took awhile. This took nearly 1000 words. It was at 970 words at best. Well sorry for keeping you waiting so long. As always, you know the drill. Read, review, and inform me of what needs correcting. I am looking forward to these suggestions. I also just turned 14. Just to let ya know.
Glauxspeed to you all!
Also, once again, special thanks to Aos Dana for helping me with the story.
