[attr="class","anyapost"]she is surrounded by the familiar buzz of machines. this is how she nurses her headache. (well, that, and a small cup of tea.) 

cages rattle. #r02001 gnaws at its prison bars and anya peers down at it, observing. the luxray at her side hisses at the rat, eyes flashing as it intimidates. the rat cowers back and anya unlatches its cage with gloved hands. it scurries forward despite its warning and the luxray blasts the metal bars with a thunderbolt. 

the raticate convulses and collapses. anya sighs. but the crouches down and inserts the needle, eyeing the time as she takes a few vials of blood from the creature. when she's finished, she slaps labels on them and seals them before collecting samples from her more docile subjects. 

the turtonator is bound most heavily and as such, the extraction proves least difficult. 

with her materials organized, she skirts back to her desk and flicks on the switch to her imaging microscope. the samples are all placed in separate compartments; once uploaded, she looks up at the screen, adjusting parameters so that she can watch the blood cells move about across the glass. 

"don't toy with the thing. go off with the others," she says, though her back is turned to the cages. her luxray drops his paw and chuffs before padding away obediently. 

anya gingerly removes the capsule that had mysteriously ended up in her bag of goodies several weeks ago. the liquid inside is milky white. the first round of examinations have proven to her that it's a concoction of some sort. created by whom, by what, she does not know. 

all she knows is that fate has handed her a new toy and her curiosity has gotten the best of her. 

she uses a fine needle to measure small, equal volumes of the liquid. and then she places them on the microscope slides, injecting the liquid into the blood cells. 

she has a quarter of the original container left. 

she looks up at the screen for a reaction.

EXPERIMENT LAIN




[attr="class","ipad"]ARTIFICIAL POWER[break][break]
Different samples from different Pokemon yield different results. The first sample proves irresponsive at first but the longer she keeps her eyes on the sample the more seems to happen. When the cells intermingle with the substance, most of them engorge, swelling up several times their size to the point that some of them even bursts. Others remain the same with no discrimative pattern between them. It almost looks like the reaction is by chance, with no rhyme or reason. [break][break]

[break][break]


Every sample proves the same with some more reactive than others. The results are always the same.[break][break][break]

[attr="class","anyapost"]pokemon cells undergo a change as they rewrite their dna through evolution. they fold in on themselves, twist and swirl and dance and it's intoxicating and it's lovely, but this

this is invigorating, this is stimulating. this is violent and spiteful and she is enraptured by it. her fingers are flying across her clipboard. the footage of what's happening is, of course, being captured, but she needs to document it with her own two eyes. 

she can't discern whether the varying levels in the reactions are simply because of the species in which she has injected them. and with such a small sample of pokemon, she can't hope but to make any concrete conclusions. 

and she doesn't have enough of the serum to go around. 

she plucks the vial from where it rests and rolls it between her fingers. then she sidles alongside her desk and withdraws a small needle amount, stores it in another container and inserts it into a capsule. 

she keys in a few commands on her computer and waits for it to analyze the serum's components. 

"mitka." 

the luxray lopes over at her beck and call. she scratches him behind his ears and places a gentle kiss on his nose, and orders him to bring her the nidorina. 

the cage unlocks at another press of a button and the luxray lunges, teeth biting into the scruff around her neck, careful to avoid the poison points lining her scaled back. he drags her over to the testing table and anya, gloved now, wrangles her down and straps her tightly. 

the screen above her flickers as she attaches an iv to the pokemon, inserts needles to monitor her heartbeat and the rest of her bodily functions. 

there are only two meaningful doses left of the serum. she flicks her knuckles against the needle in her hand and wordlessly slides it under the nidorina's skin.

and then she waits, and then she observes.

EXPERIMENT PAIN




[attr="class","ipad"]LIVE SUBJECT[break][break]
The computer breaks down the serum into its main components. It consists of a variety of prescription drugs with some known illegal substances added to the mix. Nothing impossible to replicate but getting your hands on the compound will prove difficult without foregoing ample resources. Experimentation will have to be slow and purposeful, with progress bottlenecked by how often they can gather the necessary resources. [break][break]

The Nidorina struggles under the restraints well past after Anya finishes her injection. Nothing notable happens except for the Pokemon breaking out into a raspy gasp for air, breathing deeply and desperately as it struggle to catch its breath. This continues long into half an hour until the Pokemon stabilizes on the table, passing out from the fatigue as it recuperates from its changes. Externally, the Pokemon seems no different then before. [break][break]

Considering the results of her previous experiment, there's a certain curiosity about what's happened well beyond what the naked eye can see. [break][break]

[attr="class","anyapost"]for a moment, nothing happens. the cells swirl about aimlessly as they should, but she does not allow herself disappointment. she continues to watch, unblinking, and her attunement to the screen is reward. 

the cells fold in on themselves and then spasms; a small percentage of them burst. the nidorina struggles on the table, screeching now. her barbs secrete a poison, but it does nothing against the linoleum table. 

and when all is said and done, she slumps back. her restraints are limp against her extremities.

anya tears her gaze from the screen and looks down at the pokemon before her. 

no visible signs of change. 

she reaches for it and the nidorina's eyes snap open, flooding with a dark purple something. she snaps and snarls and writhes against her restraints; when the velcro beings to rip, anya takes a step back. muscles bulge as the guttural, wrongful screeches pour from its mouth. 

her luxray comes between the two of them and attempts to intimidate the creature, but this only maddens it further. 

her computer makes a whirring noise, a warning sound. anya, ever calm, grabs iron clasps and forces the struggling creature back against the table. 

she grabs a syringe and draws a sample. the blood capsule is whisked off shortly after in much the same manner as the drug from earlier. 

and her suspicions are confirmed. 

the dna of the organism has changed. 

it has become stronger. 

it has evolved. 

her breakthrough has a magnitude that is unfathomable, that is unforseeable. she will create, joyfully, but she will not be the one to spread this terrible, horrible, beautiful disease. 

no, for that she has another man in mind.

she removes a glove and reaches for her phone. and when there's a click, she smiles. 

"i have something for you."

message received.

it would be sometime before his coming, but cadis was on the way. when it came to the call of his researchers he wasted no time. during his car ride, he wondered what was so important. when it came to receiving prominent calls, cadis did not take them lightly. whatever the summoning was for he expected it to be enticing--especially when it came to rocket's most promising, beautiful, and one of many great minds, .

arriving moments later, he'd come to meet the red mistress at her base of operations; though, he was not alone. for he'd bring with him a zoroark by his side, and grunts, to serve as bodyguards. entering the premises, he'd speak, "it must be urgent...for you to call on such short notice." a faint smile formed, "i must say it worried me a little." yet also made him secretly ecstatic. for, whatever her reasoning, he was fascinated to learn what it was she needed to present.

[attr="class","anyapost"]she wastes no time while she waits for him to arrive. she runs programs to encrypt all data for extra security and runs diagnostic tests for gathering all the components to recreate the serum. 

when he arrives, she stands from her desk. the nidorina snarls and lashes out, spittle flying from her jaw. a pleasurable shiver runs down her spine and she smiles warmly as cadis enters. 

"darling, you never need to worry about me." she blows an air kiss beside his cheek in greeting and then gestures towards the table. 

"i've discovered a serum that can change pokemon. elevate them, so to speak. if i'm correct, some of our fellow rocket members have reported similar behavior from their pokemon after exposure to the wormholes or ultra beasts." 

as she approaches, the nidorina struggles again. iron groans and she manages to rip one of her bindings from the tail. claws flash as she goes for a swipe, but anya is far enough away that they reach nothing. 

her three other limbs are bound with titanium steel and do not budge. it was merely a demonstration. 

but her gaze does not linger on the monster in front of her. instead, she gazes lovingly up at the angry patterns that swirl above them on the computer screen. 

"her entire makeup has changed," she breathes.

PATIENT ZERO




[attr="class","ipad"]EXPERIMENT SUCCESS![break][break]
The analysis comes to a conclusion and the screen shows the standard genome for a Nidorina and across from it is the sample derived from their new subspecies. At a glance, the pictures mean very little to someone unfamiliar with genetics but one thing is clear — they're different. To what extent is only displayed by the Pokemon's unfounded herculean strength. What else could this entail? only has one of the puzzle pieces here. It is that has the second. [break][break]

His earlier idea of having another Pokemon ingest the Guzzlord sample comes to mind. Something about the idea is both fascinating and incredibly probing, like an obsession. With his research about the Ultra Beast almost finished, he has both the means and tools necessary to harvest a small sample of it to feed their new Pokemon. [break][break]

The only thing stopping them is one final question: should they? [break][break]
