Castelia Institute of Science, 12:32 a.m., Friday
"Gentlemen...behold the next step in human evolution."
A group of top professors gathered around Dr. Calem Young, who had finally completed a new type of liquid chemical.
"Allow me to introduce to you Zionium!" Dr. Young began, "This performance enhancer will boost humanity's top physical and neural performance in levels even an Alakazam's IQ can dream of achieving!"
Professor Samuel Oak raised a hand, grabbing Dr. Young's attention. "Calem, I know your colleague, Dr. Fuji, has tried crafting such... crazy things. But these? Why, these "performance enhancers" you claim to have... well, they are simply too risky, possibly dangerous, even for a brilliant mind such as yourself."
"Samuel..."
"And furthermore, you have yet to give us even a test subject to prove your claims, which may or may not harm said test subject." The professor sighed and shook his head. "Dr. Young, I'm afraid you will have to find a test subject by this Monday. And if he or she suffers any negative side effects, possibly even killed from your Zionium, I will see to it the Kanto Region Court puts you behind bars for life! I will not have you or your... impossible power drugs cause the possible destruction of life, human or Pokemon!"
With that, Oak walked out, leaving Dr. Young pondering about who to test his discovery on...
Dangerous? Crazy?! Dr. Young thought to himself as he paced the floor. No! I know I have something here! Of course the old fool wouldn't understand this amazing miracle I have created! I'll show him. I'll show everyone!
Without noticing that an escaping Joltik, who had somehow left plasma in the tube after flailing in the liquid, had scattered away, he downed his creation in one gulp. A few minutes later, Young started to feel changes in his body.
He looked at his hands, and gasped in amazement as he started to see steel barbs grow from his palms, all creating a electric charge. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning exploded from his hands, blasting a hole through a nearby wall...
What's happening to me?! The horrified doctor ran quickly outside, and in a split second as well...
Young turned around to see that the Institute had suddenly lost its electric power. When he went to check his phone, its battery had depleted from 98 to 0 percent in a heartbeat.
He eventually realized what he had become... and he smiled.
"I... did it... My Zionium worked!", Young let out a joyful yell, proud that his dream of evolving humanity had finally come true, even if it wasn't exactly what he had in mind.
He excitedly ran down the street, not realizing that some of the people he passed by were annoyed that their respective phone's battery had all but drained. Eventually, a woman screamed in horror at the sight of Young. Confused, the doctor looked at himself, and had the same reaction.
He saw that his eyes had multiplied into four, two on each side, and fangs with yellow hair had replaced two of his teeth. His body was covered in short yellow hair.
A crowd was now staring at him, backing away from the doctor as far as they could.
A little girl in the crowd hugged her mother. "Mommy, make him go away! He's too scary.", the girl cried. Her mother slowly backed away as well as she narrowed her eyes at Dr. Young.
"You stay away from us right now, you... y-you freak!", she pleaded, trembling.
Freak.
Dr. Young never was fond of that word.
Freak.
Young got up calmly, and furiously shot a bolt of lightning at the group of bystanders, who managed to escape the blast. He gasped in horror and guilt, and started to run from the shocked crowd as fast as lightning, and as far as he could. Escaping to the Castelia sewers, Young laid down, tearfully burying his hands in his face (thankfully not getting electrocuted). The more he thought about his new transformation, he became more and more furious, and more and more intrigued
Freak...They called me a freak... I can't live like this... I'd rather straight up die. No...it doesn't matter... I've evolved... like a Pokémon. So... who's to say they shouldn't evolve, too? I've always been pushed around...no one believes my discoveries...but now that I'm powerful...I can prove this terrible city that I can make humanity better.
Dr. Young got up, an old piece of wood stuck to his hand. Pulling it off his palm, he noticed a string of spiderweb was glued to the wooden board.
Grinning and chuckling maliciously from his new form, Young began work on planning just how to he would be able to improve humanity...
And so, the shocking Galvan-Man is born! What could this mad scientist be planning? Will someone find a cure for him? And just who will be able to foil his heinous plot?!
Well, it seems we can't quite answer the first two questions just yet, but we can definitely answer that third question for you!
