Genetic Identity - Chapter Three

Location: Team Rocket Headquarters, Johto Division, Lab 3A

Time: Unknown

Date: 6-13-2251

POV: Isabelle

I hate him. Dr. Minamoto, I mean. The guy is absolutely disgusting. I just thank god Amadeus is here. Oops, I should probably call him Adam. He hates his real name. It's been four years to the day since we met. Four long years under the eye of Team Rocket. They've finished. The injections and transformations, I mean. You're probably wondering just what they did to us. First, they wanted to make sure we wouldn't kill each other, so they injected some Poochyena DNA from Hoenn into all of us to give us `pack instincts'. I suppose the dog-like ears all of us have now, (except for Lillian, but I'll get to that later) are just an added bonus. Our regular ears are gone. The dog ears function better anyway, but from the scientist's surprise, we got the gist that the ears were a side effect.

The pack instincts have defined themselves in our behavior now. We've taken up pack roles, and act accordingly. Adam asserted himself as the alpha male, and he's our leader, generally. Occasionally, though, he follows my lead, because I asserted myself as alpha female. Lavender is the beta female, and Lillian and Tabitha are still pups. It's a small pack, but we've grown really close. Any of us would gladly give our lives for the others.

Our eye color hasn't changed since the first time all the way back at the beginning. Our hair color has though. All of us now have silver hair. Silver colored, anyway. Dr. Minamoto said that the hair color was his way of being `artistic'. It seems that if he doesn't have specified instructions about our anatomy, he thinks its fair game. I just thank god that the leader, Giovanni, had decreed that our reproductive systems are to be left alone. Which means the disgusting pervert Minamoto can't touch me like that, even though he wants to.

*****Flashback*****

Dr. Minamoto walked into the lab. He looked up at the tables in the middle of the room, and saw the projects laying strapped to them. He walked up to experiment 004 and sneered as she attained a disgusted look. She was really good looking, in his opinion. `Maybe I can have some fun with her. I guess I could call this a job perk.' He leaned in to give her a kiss, but what he didn't notice was that Jack, his assistant, had seen this and punched the emergency call button on the view screen that lead right to Giovanni's office. The image of Giovanni appeared on the screen, and he looked surprised. But upon seeing Jack's silent gestures on his end, Giovanni decided to announce himself.

"What in the world do you think you're doing, Dr. Minamoto?!" The doctor aborted his kiss and whirled around in surprise.

"Giovanni, sir! How nice to see you!"

"Can it, doctor. I saw what you were doing. Your assistant was kind enough to inform me." At this point, Dr. Minamoto gave Jack a scathing look and Jack just replied in kind. "Apparently you need instructions, Minamoto. You are not to touch any of the experiments in anything other than a scientific manner again. If you do, Jack here will inform me and I'll take action. You know as well as I do that I have an emergency button here that unlocks 005's restraints. If you pull that crap again, I won't hesitate to use it." At this point, Adam flashes the most evil looking grin at Minamoto that he can, and makes sure to show off his fangs. Dr. Minamoto just gulps and replies.

"Yes, sir. Understood sir."

"It better be. And just to make sure you don't do this behind my back, Jack is now your permanent assistant. He is to remain with you at all times when you're in that wing of the compound. Do I make myself clear?

"Yes sir."

"Very well then. You are quite intelligent doctor. I would hate to have to scrape your intestines off the wall when 005 gets through with you."

With that the screen went black. Of course, the argument between Jack and Minamoto immediately following the transmission was very loud. During the argument, Adam shot a look of concern over to Izzy.

"Izzy, are you all right?"

"Yes, I'm fine. A little shaken up, but I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

"Well, I'm the pack leader. It's my duty to look after you."

"Oh. Is that the only reason?"

"No. It's not. It's just that-" At this point, Adam mumbled something unintelligible.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you, Adam."

"I said that, I really care about you, and I don't want to see you hurt."

Izzy jumped a little in surprise, and Lavy, Lilly, and Tabby started laughing. They stopped immediately when Adam started growling, which was a signal to be silent.

*****End Flashback*****

It's been about a year since then. I know Adam cares for me, he does all these little things that let me know. He has this smile that he never shows to anyone else but me. When the others aren't looking, and he thinks I'm not, he gives me this smile that makes my heart melt. I should probably just admit that I love him. I think I started falling for him the very first day we met, when he called me an angel. But that's enough about my love life for now. You're probably wondering why Adam has fangs. We all do, all five of us. I think it's another side effect. All of us have individual traits too. They decided to inject us with the DNA of different pokemon, to see which ones would work and which ones didn't. Lilly was injected with Mew DNA. As a result, she has the tail of a Mew, and the ears of a Mew on her head. Currently she and her sister are ten years old. Tabby was injected with the DNA of a Celebi. She has antennae on her forehead and fairy-like wings on her back. She can't use them to fly, but she has psychic powers for that, which both she and Lilly got from the psychic pokemon DNA. Lavy got injected with Salamence DNA, I got Dragonite DNA, and Adam got Aggron DNA. All three of us have tails now, and they're about five feet long. They're colored and styled according to the pokemon DNA we were injected with. Lavy and I got wings on our backs. We've tried them out, and we can actually fly with them. All of us got enhanced strength and speed, but Adam got a whole heck of a lot more strength than the rest of us. While we four girls can now lift three times our own body weight easily, Adam can lift whole boulders, and up to two tons worth of weight. We also all have claws. Our fingernails have lengthened and hardened so that they're basically claws now. I suppose, in exchange for no wings, Adam now has a silver colored horn on his forehead.

All in all, we look really weird, but at least we're a family. I consider Lavy, Lilly, and Tabby to be my sisters. Adam's a part of my new family too, but I haven't yet decided to place him as a brother or as something more than that…
