Born of Aether
[Plot]
Miles out from the region of Alola on the island called Aether 04, a split branch of the Aether Foundation is conducting illegal research and experiments. These experiments include fusing people with pokemon, releasing them onto an island, and recording them as they try to survive.
This island is cut off from civilization for obvious reasons, with a barrier surrounding the area preventing entrance or escape. However, that won't stop the experiments fromtrying to escape anyway.​

-Dhelg Von Gilgamesh-​
Sitting on his throne at HQ Dhelg intently watches as the new shipment of pokemon and volunteers arrive. "Do any of them have potential?" he asks the employee in charge of relaying commands to the Lab Staff on the lower levels.
"We're hoping a few of them will be able to join our ranks, the weaker and irrational ones will be discarded into the wilderness like the earlier batches" the employee replies promptly and says no more.

Dhelg clinches his teeth and lets out an audible growl. "You lowly employees are becoming increasingly inefficient, we don't need any more subjects on the island taking up valuable space" his eyes glow brightly in the dim-lit room as he grins "any that don't reach the potential we're looking for lock them in cages below, maybe if they're met with confinement instead of freedom they'll come around"

The Employee hesitantly nods before relaying the instructions to the Lab.

-Illya Merrimallow-​
Emerging from the empty cave she found on the east side of the island. She stands upon the cliff looking out over the forest for any signs of other experiments like herself.
Having only once met someone like herself since stepping foot on the island she hasn't met anyone else. 'maybe today' she thought, hoping to finally have companionship even for awhile.

-Nagisa Ibuki-​
Fluttering about the central forest as usual Nagisa waves a happy hello to all the pokemon she's grown accustomed to seeing each day as she looks for food. Picking berries for the day and helping pokemon who've gotten stuck or lost is her daily routine, being in the center of the island she's spotted many experiments like herself, but due to the way the Aether Employees treated her she's hesitant to trust any of them.

Meditating on her favorite rock, the one that gave her a perfect view of the morning sun rising, Sara watched the sun's rays creep across the sky as she synchronized her breaths and struck her pose "Balance, Tranquility, Serenity. Embrace the peace and exhale the hate." Sara glanced beside her and looked over her usual small group of pokemon that joined her for her early sessions. "Today is gonna be an perfect day, I can really feel it!"

((O.O.C: I'm so sorry for the Shulk reference....))
​
~Mimi ???~​
"Maybe you could lock them up with me for a bit? I have ways of making people come around~" Mimi poked just her head up from beside Dhelg's throne, her pale yellow and red painted mask slightly visible in the dim room. "C'mon it'll be fun for them! I can try out my new pranks! Those will surely get them to see things our way~" She giggled lightly before it turned to a more sinister sounding cackle that seemed to resonate from behind the mask.​
 
-Dhelg Van Gilgamesh-​
Dhelg begins laughing maniacally at Mimi's request before looking to the hooded girl "Very well go have your fun and make some ... friends..." he says patting her on the head.
He looks to the employee in the room "inform the Lab that Mimi is coming down". The employee shudders "very well, right away sir" he then radio's the staff avoiding eye contact with either Dhelg or Mimi.
 
-Saki Masukita-
Saki sat in the cave she'd found soon after getting sent to the island. The few friends she shared it with were going about their own devices, leaving her to do as she pleased. Although she had yet to meet one, she knew there had to be others like her and wanted to see them. "I'll be back later guys, going for a walk." She strutted out and went searching for whoever she could find.
 
Archaeo stalked through the main building with his standard scowl written on his face. He was going over some notes he'd been taking on the behavior of new releases and those more established on the island as he made his way to Dhelg's playroom. Otherwise know as the throneroom, but the older man found it terribly foolish of their leader to have such a thing. When he approached the doorway, he heard the conversation going on. He waited until Mimi left the room, giving her a small nod of acknowledgement, before entering.

His cold red gaze travelled over the room before landing upon his dispondent leader. "Hoping that psychological strain will cause the new batches to conform?" He asked with a slight note of disinterest, his facial expression carefully schooled into neutrality. He was always guarded about his emotions, and allowing them to show before before Dhelg was a dangerous game.
 
| Al "Gen" Sylvester |​
Al, or rather Gen, as he preferred to call himself these days, lounged lazily in the branches of a massive tree. The dappled light flittering through the shifting leaves created a shimmer of shadows over his lanky form, mostly concealing him from the world. He knew, however, without a doubt that no matter where he went those chumps from Aether could still see him just like the creeps they were. So in order to counter the irritating itch he made a point of throwing obscene gestures out and making faces. Sure, it was petty and probably useless but it made him feel just a tad better.

Those red eyes of his slide open, gazing at nothing in particular as his cheeky grin curled up, looking sinister. It was a lovely day! He could probably cause a lot of trouble on days like these. Gen liked to find new ways to mess with Aether, having lost the desire to try and escape. At least for now.

Maybe he might shadow a few of the other rejects here. See if they found anything useful.

| Remmington Rose |​
Her tail swayed behind her as Rem strolled easily through the forest, carefully avoiding flowers and fragile vegetation. For a pokemon/human hybrid of her build, she somehow managed to move without causing too much of a ruckus. At the moment, her sharp eyes were at work seeking out some kind of clue that might lead her to a flaw in the island defenses. It would help her fellow prisoners escape. Of course, she also had other plans once she got free, like beating the sick minds that transformed everyone.

Her heart ached. Was Haxorus okay? Was he gone permanently? Was there a way to get him back or were they stuck together forever? It's better than death at least. If that was the case. Her hand lightly touched the blade on her forearm, working a small, grim smile onto her face.

"Don't worry partner. We'll get out of this."​
 
-Illya Merrimallow-​
Jumping off the cliff using two wisps of fire to control her decent Illya safely floated down the side of the mountain still looking for any signs of other experiments. 'Where could they all be?' She thought 'There's no way there's nobody else out here..'.
After touching down on the ground she began jogging about the perimeter of the mountain.

-Dhelg Van Gilgamesh-​
Dhelg gave a creepy smile and a soft grin before waving his hand at Archaeo. "Now I wouldn't call it Psychological Strain, think of it more as taming" he said grimly leaning over the arm of his chair "the fact of the matter is we don't need any more subjects running about the island". He waved his hand towards the screen pulling up live footage of Illya and showing it to Archaeo "This one had the potential for becoming an admin of this outpost, but somehow she escaped" his grin quickly faded "She's a very serious threat, but despite being here for 2 years she's never once become a problem, I want to keep it that way."

-Nagisa Ibuki-​
Hearing a rustling in the leaves Nagisa quick hid behind a tree scanning the area to find someone who appeared to be like her, but fused with a Haxorus. Instead of calling out she fluttered stealthily between the brush stalking them to figure out if they were friend or foe.
​
 
~Sara "Stiches" Laurence~
Durring the yoga session, Sara's belly began grumbling as did a couple of the pokemons' bellies "Alright little ones, seeing as how some of us haven't eaten yet, lets take a short break and we can pick up where we left off tomorrow." The pokemon each nodded and scattered to do their own things. Sara on the other hand, quick on her feet, headed towards the berry patch that had her favorite Kelpsy Berries abundant and grabbed a couple to munch on.

~Mimi ???~
After getting permission from Dehlg, Mimi giggled again and hurried out passing by Archaeo "I'm gonna make some friends today! Isn't it exciting Archaeo?" With another giggly twirl, Mimi hurried down the hallway to the containment chambers with the rather nervous employee in tow.
 
"Perhaps we need to look for a more targeted recruitment method?" Archaeo commented in responce to them not looking for more subjects. He watched the live feed with a scrutinizing gaze, taking in the details of the young woman. "What do you recommend we do about this, hm, potential problem?" He asked, turning his attention back to the leader. "Our staff is outnumbered by the experiments. Do we have any emergency plans in place should things go haywire?"
 
-Dhelg Van Gilgamesh-​
Dhelg sighed at the remark "i've been saying for years to have a better recruitment standard but the recruiters can't do their job correctly, and it's not like we can let anyone go and expose the operation here" he stood up from his throne and walked past Archaeo to the door. "She's not a problem for us to solve, I will order Mimi to take her out when the time comes" Dhelg then turned to look at Archaeo one last time "The two of them have unfinished business, until then just keep her from the base, a small army run by that one would be a nuisance" with that he left the room heading towards the Lab.
 
Rini
​
Rini woke up from the hard ground she was sleeping on and yawned as she stretched, her bones and joints popping. She let out a sigh as she picked up the mask that mirrored her face, staring at it with disdain. This was proof that she was held captive here, taken away from her parents. She wasn't really happy about that situation, she wanted to see her parents again. With a sigh, the girl began to trek towards the pool of water that was close by.

If there was one good thing about the mask, it was that she would be able to gather resources easier when using it as a makeshift basket. Or in this case, a makeshift cup. She dipped the mask into the water and brought it back up towards her face, taking long sips. The only problem she was currently having at the moment was finding food, and she wasn't exactly a hunter. The girl sighed and pondered how to go about finding some berries for herself as she began to walk.​

~*~
Lala
​
Lala was giggling as she skipped down the hall. She couldn't wait to see the fresh faces of new test subjects that came in every now and then. After all, their look of surprise was oh so cute. And then the look of horror as experiments were done on them... It gave her the shivers. Shivers of delight, she assumed.

She hurried down to the elevator that would bring her to the lab, where some tests were being done on several gijinkas. Pressing a button on the control panel, she waited for the elevator to take her down. Who was she going to meet today, she wondered? After all, she wanted to be there when they started to sing- er, scream. She hoped that she would meet other employees on the way to watch over the experimentation being done.​

~*~
Eve
​
Eve glanced at the useless keys that were attached firmly to her belt, flipping through them one by one. Once, when she was an Aether employee, she watched over the experiments from their jail cells and made sure to come and get them whenever it was time for their release or whenever it was time for them to go through a test. She shuddered at the thought of what kind of tests were being done on those poor people, remembering how some look haunted as they were escorted back.

Now, however, she wasn't watching over them anymore. As much as she wanted to initiate a jail break, she couldn't do it when there were Aether employees everywhere. So she fled, deeper into the island that held some experiments. She didn't know where to look for them at all, but she knew she could help plan their escape. All she needed to do was look for them. With a sigh, the Dusknoir gijinka began to walk around the island, in search of other experiments to help.​

~*~
Sam
​
Sam, after some time from when he first turned into a Shedinja gijinka, found his health had deteriorated so that he was easily made weak. He gritted his teeth in frustration as he made his way through the undergrowth. Ever since he became what he was now, he had been weak. He would get sick easily and would be winded whenever he was dealt a harsh blow from a weapon. Arceus forbid if he ever ran into a fire type or a flying type and they attacked him, he wouldn't be able to survive, he felt.

He had separated from Eve yesterday so that they would be able to cover more ground in finding other experiments, but so far he hadn't seen anyone. It frustrated him to no end, weren't there supposed to be a lot of experiments running around the area? After all, once they were done with testing, they would be released on the island in order to survive. His stomach growled as he pushed onward. Truth be told, the gnawing in his stomach was making him cranky too, he didn't know how Eve survived not being able to eat for a long time. Letting out an annoyed huff, he continued his journey in finding others so that they would conspire to get out of here together.​
 
| Al "Gen" Sylvester |​
His owlish looking ears twitched, catching the faintest noise in the underbrush ahead. His smirk widened considerably, red eyes narrowing a fraction at the possibility of meeting something. Or someone. The gengar infused human was rather bored since his half hearted search effort for weaknesses in the defenses showed up nothing useful. He had tried his attacks out before but they had no effects against the damn walls. What he wouldn't give for some greasy food right about now.

So the prospects of meeting some other soul out here was fine with him. Maybe it was another poor sap who got themelves locked up.
(He is open for interaction if someone needs a mingle buddy!)
​
| Remmington "Rem" Rose |
Rem took a few more steps forward, narrowly avoiding a prickly berry bush before she became aware of eyes on her. That ever so light tingle on the back of one's neck where the sensitives hairs rose. She played it off like she still had no clue the presence was there but her eyes began to swiftly scan the woods to her sides.
No sounds. That must mean whoever was watching her was either in the air or avoiding the ground. Could it be Aether?
No. While the eyes felt a bit unnerving them didn't seem threatening...
She stopped.
"Is someone there?"

~Sara "Stitches" Laurence~​
Plucking a few berries off the thin branches of the tree, Sara's meal was finally ready. She bit into the bitter berry, it wrinkled her face with the taste but regardless she still enjoyed it "Yum~ Just what i neede-" she stopped and twitched the antennae on her head picking up on the presence of another being in the area. Berries in hand, she turns and tries to spot the being through the brush "where are you...." she mutters to herself.
​
~Mimi ???~​
Mimi made her way down the elevator to the holding chambers, her Pikachu tail shaped stick in hand as she got off and started to the first chamber whilst singing:
"Ding Dong
I know you can hear me
Open up the door
I only want to play a little

Ding Dong
You can't keep me waiting
It's already too late
For you to try and run away

I see you through the window
Our eyes are locked together
I can sense your horror
Though I'd like to see it closer..."
She continued singing as she continued down the hall, her voice echoing down the corridor letting each experiment know she was headed their way.
(( O.O.C: Song lyrics do NOT belong to me! Credit to ♡ L i z z ♡ for the Lyrics, Vocaloid composed the originalLizz cover clicky All in favor for this being Mimi's lab prowling theme?))​
 
- Nagisa Ibuki -​
Still following the Haxorus gijinka, she stops for a moment before hovering around quietly to keep changing position just to be cautious. "I'm surprised that you noticed me so quickly, but i wouldn't recommend any sudden moves if i were you" she replied and swiftly flew to a different position "i don't want to fight but if you attack i have the advantage". As soon as she finishes she jumps to yet another location "I'm only asking this once, who are you, why are you here, and are you with the Aether Foundation?"

- Aria Einsburg -​
One of many in the new batch of experiments Aria has awoken in a cage to the happy singing of what could only be described as a demented lunatic. "Some birthday party this turned out to be.." she almost breaks into tears hearing a mechanical whirring as she moves "just.. what am i.. what'd they do to me..". Upon figuring out she's been fused with a Magearna, Aria curls up into a ball, listening in fear as the singing draws closer.
 
@chaosheart13

-Saki Masukita-
Saki continued to walk around for a bit before hearing something move near her. "Who's there?" She cautiously walks in the direction it came from before coming across a Shedinja gijinka. "Hi!" She smiles at him. "Its nice to finally see another ex- You are an experiment right? Not Aether?"
 
| Al "Gen" Sylvester |​
"Behind you." He purred, leaning forward to murmur into the pink gal's ear. Judging by the overwhelming pink colors and anntena like appendages on her head she must have been merged with a bug type pokemon, probably a lurantis. And she was munching on berries. How sweet. Al's smirk grew wider yet, his eye lids hanging low over his red eyes in a lazily look of content. Though the red orbs glittered with mischeivious intent.
​
| Remmington Rose |​
The voice kept jumping, seeming to confirm Rem's guess at their flight ability. If not teleportation. A psychic maybe? Either way, Rem's guard was up. The voice had questioned to alliance with Aether, giving Rem a strong suspicion that the owner of the voice might be another experiment but you could never be too sure.

"Alright. I'll answer. But only if you return the favor." Rem replied cooly, taking on a less aggressive stance to try and appear neutral. Perhaps the voice will follow suit. "My name is Rem, Remmington Rose. I used to be an ace trainer before Aether took me. So, if you can guess, I'm not much a fan of Aether." She said, her sentence ending in a sour note of obvious hate towards the foundation.

"Now who are you?"​
 
~Sara "Stitches" Laurence~​
Sara jumped at the sound of the voice behind her, dropping the few berries she had picked. Her antennae were standing strait up, eyes wide as she spun around hands readying for a Solar Blade. Once she realized it was another Gijinka, she felt slightly more at ease however not completely unguarded "You work for Aether? regardless of your answer you may or may not get hit with this." Sara continued charging the blade till it was fully formed.
​
~Mimi ???~​
Mimi stopped at the first chamber that caught her eye and peeked into the looking glass of a room and only found a ball. Her head seemed to snap to the side as she looked towards the employee standing guard "Excuse me? I was just wondering... what do you see inside this chamber?" The nervous guard shakily walked over and peeked inside "Th-that is where we placed one subject.... W-we uhm- Eep!" The guard was cut off by Mimi's shadowy black hand coming up to the mask and slightly pulling it aside showing one lifeless glowing crimson eye staring back at them "Make them come out to play a little..." her usually cheery voice had turned dark and raspy before she slid the mask back to its original position "Okie dokie artichokie?~" she had returned to her normal cheery self as she bounced eager to enter the chamber to make a new friend.​
 
| Al "Gen" Sylvester |​
The gengar gijinka appraised the startled female with amused eyes, his smirk still held in place despite the fact he was staring a blade attack in the face. Not very wise of him but then he never was. Chuckling, Al leaned back, giving the chic her room while drawing a casual shrug of his shoulders, pulling off an unimpressed vibe. In reality, he was thrilled she responded as such. While he enjoyed scaring the daylights of out of people he also liked some good old fashion spunk. The bug girl has spunk.

"Hell no sweetheart. The lot of them could go off themselves for all I cared." He smirked, closing a single red eye. The other still watched her with devious curiosity. "But it you wanna have a go anyway I'm game. Can't say I'll go easy on ya though." He taunted, his grin curling ever further up the side of his face in a crooked sneer. He cocked his head to the side, wagging his eyebrows at her. "I have a few tricks of my sleeves."​
 
- Nagisa Ibuki-​
Accepting Rem's answer Nagisa hovered out into the open. "My name's Nagisa Ibuki, I'm sorry for the seemingly hostile caution.." she paused for a second not taking her eyes off the Haxorus gijinka "but since you harbor the same ill will towards Aether that I do, I'm hoping we can overlook that." Nagisa was trying her hardest to keep a stern face while trying to figure out if she can truly trust this stranger.

- Aria Einsburg-​
"Go away.." she cried from inside her safe little ball, she repeated over and over while gently rocking back and forth. Hearing her cage open slowly made her come to a complete stop as she tensed up unable to move, afraid of what would happen next. She could barely make out the figure in front of her now open door and wanted nothing more than to escape.

- Illya Merrimallow -​
After checking the perimeter of the mountain the Chandelure gijinka decided to hang out on a rocky cliff. Occasionally she would see movement in the forest, it could be another gijinka like herself, or Aether Foundation employees. Either way it was too far away to find out for sure, they'd be gone by time she'd arrive.
