In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

-By John McCrae May 1915

Humans turning into pokemon? Pokemon that were humans? Was he just scaring me? Or telling the truth? And what did it mean, if he truly was telling the truth?

The question was left unanswered as I heard a door behind me creak open, and felt something sink into my arm.

An elite Team Rocket member stood at the mention of his name. "Elite 10005A."

"Yes, master?" he inquired the shadowed face shown on the screen in front of him.

"There has been a casualty. Your former leader, E, has died. As the second in command, I would like you to take over for him."

"Thank you, master."

"Now, I shall fill you in on many important peices of information."

"Now. It is time." I opened my eyes, scared.

I took in the boy sitting in a machine not far away from me. The one who had chased me. Are we enemies now, or allies?

I also found that I was sitting in a cage, not strapped to a table with a maniac holding a knife over me. I sighed in relief about that.

The labratory had scientists running all over the place, and I saw one wave another, telling him 'it is time'.

He walked over to the machine, and began to make a few quick changes, nearly ready for the sixteenth experiment...
