"Project V-001 has almost arrived, sir. The host is having some difficulties with labor but it will be remedied." An electronic voice announced. From the darkness, light generated. A large screen took up one wall of a small, clean room. The lights above were harsh, and the scent of bleach and other sterilizing products wafted through the room. The floors were tile, freshly scrubbed, immaculate. A shaded figure sat before the screen in a chair.
"Lovely. What are the stats on Project AV-002? Is it better than the original?" The question hung in the air for a moment as it was processed by the computer.
"Project AV-002 is superior in every way, sir. Her attack is double, her speed is three times of the original. Her health is the exact same but otherwise, she is perfect."
The figure grunted. His voice was masculine and husky, and it radiated power and authority.
"Perfection. That's what we are creating now. We have created a new life form, a new start, a new world. Homo-sapiens with all the powers of Pokemon. We have surpassed God himself."
Day 001
Project V-001 opened her eyes for the first time. For a split second she saw the tired face of her mother, until she was ripped away from the clutches that created her. V-001 let out a rattling scream, her lungs filling with air at every breath. Men in lab coats groped at her roughly, gloved hands washing her in cold water and then depositing her in a clear box in the center of the room. The cushion beneath her began to read her vitals, rattling off in a computer voice everything about her.
"Project V-001. Weight: 9.02 lbs. Species: Vulpix-human hybrid. Powers: Scanning... Scanning..."
Project V-001 looked over to the left, having jerky, imprecise movements. Not too far away lay another, empty box. There was the faint sound of a child screaming, and very soon another child lay in the other case. She was pale, with large, blue eyes and a faint wisp of white hair upon her head. She seemed angry, as if she hadn't enjoyed the particular passing from womb to world.
"Project V-001 has no abilities or powers in her possession. Shall I deactivate her, sir? It will take only a moment."
Two mechanical hands sprouted from beneath the case, hovering over the child, waiting. Project V-001 cooed and giggled, reaching up with chubby hands, her discomfort forgotten.
"No, no need for that. Even if she is a failure, she could be useful. We can gather information on her, see what she can withstand. I suppose it's even beneficial to have her. That way, if she does die undergoing the tests, we still have the valuable one."
The mechanical hands withdrew. Project V-001 looked up at her creator. He was tall, or so it seemed to the child, and he had pale skin and strong features. His green eyes gazed down at her with a cold scrutiny, and she got the faint feeling she was being sized up. The man mumbled something under his breath and with lightning reflexes, grabbed the baby's wrist. She whined, but did not resist.
The man produced a small scanning device, and a green light appeared over the skin. There was the sound of burning flesh and the child screamed.
Day 750
Project V-001 was 2 now. She had grown at a faster rate and had the physical attributes of a 3 year old. She had more distinct features, however- the genetic DNA of the Vulpix was more prominent. Her hair was shoulder length but orange, with thick curls. Two small ears sprouted from her cranium, and when she smiled, which was often, revealed sparkling baby teeth and sharp canines.
V-001 sat awkwardly in a chair too big for her, the largeness of the seat dwarfing her size. Not too far away sat another girl, an Aloan Vulpix hybrid. A mini-snow storm whirled around her, expressing her irritation and turbulent feelings. She sent a frosty glare at Vee and looked away.
