Hey readers, I decided to post one of the planned stories early. I also just decided to do this one and Rise to the Challenge. So for those that wanted Special Forces, sorry about that. Now this is an OC story, check out the bottom for information on submissions. One thing I thought I should bring up about this story is that it has real countries, IE United States and what not. Reason being is that it opened something new and we wouldn't be in the same regions like some of the other stories like this. So enjoy the small prologue here.

Summary: Pokemon and humans have been interacting as far back as anyone can remember. Now, a new discovery by researches will bring them closer together than ever before. The gene that few can awaken has been targeted for profit and gain by governments and their goal is to create the ultimate super soldier. It's only a matter of time before desperate measures will be taken to ensure that it can be done.


The year is 2016 and the world of Pokémon has stayed the same for the most part. Trainers still try to become champions, Pokémon are caught, more are being discovered, and it's been the same song and dance for ages. Now something else has been brought into light by a small group of researchers. The theory that they have presented is that humans have a dormant gene that can grant them the powers of a Pokémon. Of course when it was brought to light the researchers were mocked. However, the researchers were right. Many top professors in Pokémon studies such as Professor Samuel Oak, Professor John Rowan and Professor Cedric Juniper contributed to the research and helped prove the gene was real.

The gene seemed to respond when the test subjects were close to Pokémon. The gene would then awaken fully if it found a match with a Pokémon the test subject bonded with. The first test subject that was proven to be a success was a man by the name of George Hatfield. George volunteered to be a test subject and was placed in a group of the seventeen different types of Pokémon to see if the gene would stimulate. It took a couple of days, but when George came into contact with a Garchomp, his powers awoke. When a Pokémon and human that share the same potential meet, a bond is formed. The gene awakens and it seems to form a spiritual bond between the two. One major breakthrough that was discovered through the test was that Pokémon would be able to communicate with humans through normal conversation.

Although this was a huge finding for researchers and scientists alike, there was some slight disappointment. After testing this with a few others, the scientists came to conclude that only few people would be able to unlock the gene and have the privilege to share a spiritual bond with a Pokémon. Once the study was complete, the gene was named the Arceus Gene or A-Gene for short by the person who made the discovery, Randy Norton, who won the Nobel Prize for his research.

As time went on, more findings of people with the A-Gene came to the surface and it caught the eyes of some unwanted people. The A-Gene was seen as an opportunity for countries to strengthen their armies to form the perfect soldier. With weapons growing stronger, surely stronger soldiers could make all the more difference in a war. The idea spread like wildfire and the race to create the most powerful warrior was on. The idea was to extract the gene from the human and the DNA of a Pokémon to create some form of vaccine to inject the soldier. The shot would increase sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch, advanced regeneration and grant them the power of the Pokémon that the DNA was taken from.

The United States got a lead from a CIA operative that a small band of criminals in Russia that had no affiliation with the Russian Government. They were believed to be shipping a test sample of the vaccine on a freighter to other countries to sell for the highest bidder and that was something that scared the United States. It was at this time that the United States decided to take action and prevent the vaccine from reaching its destination. They would send in a small Delta Force team to search the ship and seize the sample to bring back for tests. If the serum was to reach any of the destinations, it would spell recipe for disaster.


Fort Bragg, North Carolina, home sweet home of the Special Forces. One team in particular was heading out on this early morning to link up with the Navy in the Atlantic Ocean to be within range of the freighter carrying the precious cargo. The team was made up of four men. The team consisted of Captain Langdon Gardner, Sergeant First Class Dameon Blackburn and Staff Sergeants David Montes and Dean Hartsock. The four of them were one of the best teams that Delta Force had.

Langdon was a man in his mid-thirties. He stood at six foot four and had clean cut black hair, onyx black eyes with a fair amount of muscle concealed under his uniform. Dameon was twenty-four years old and nearing the end of his service. He stood at six foot two and had messy black hair, lightly tanned skin, blue eyes and lean muscle. David and Dean were the same age as Dameon. Dean stood at six foot one and had pale skin, dark green eyes, shaggy brown hair, stubble and a strong build. He was the team's main muscle if things got ugly. David was the wrap up of the group. He was Dean's height, had short straight brown hair, brown eyes, pale skin and a medium build.

"Hey, Captain, what's the story of the vaccine we're looking for?" Dean asked as they advanced to the Blackhawk.

"Bro, come on, you saw those reports with the Arceus Gene and what it could do if it was awakened. It's obvious they want to create some sort of super soldier, kind of like the Spartans." David spoke up.

"I think you've been reading too many comics, Dave." Dameon chuckled.

"Say what you want, but that's my guess. If you've got a better one then let me know."

"When you ladies are done talking can you please get into the bird?" Langdon hollered out over the rotors.

Dameon, Dean and David each climbed into the black helicopter and waited for takeoff. Langdon pulled out his notebook and thumbed through the information that he copied down for the mission. Their job was to be quick and simple. Infiltrate the freighter via the air, pick off any stragglers, recover the crate and get out. The bird lifted in the air and began soaring out towards the sea.

As time went on, each of the men drifted off to sleep to pass the time and rest up for the upcoming mission. Dameon, however, was engrossed with looking at a photo that he always carried in his pocket. The photo itself was worn out from him constantly looking at it and gave him motivation to press on. In the picture Dameon had his arms wrapped around his girlfriend and they were leaning against his restored 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge. A small smile graced Dameon's face as he looked at the photo.

"I'm coming home soon, Chelsea." Dameon thought.


Not much of an intro, just a premise of how humans receive the powers and abilities of Pokemon. Now I will need seventeen OCs at the most, meaning one for each type, IE electric, water, grass, steel, etc. So now that I have the given you the run down on what I'm looking for, I have the form on my profile page. I am only taking submissions by PM only, I say again, PM only. No anonymous reviews and should there be a submission in the review section, I will not take it. Take a look at the rules below for the submissions.

1.) DO NOT send an OC via review, by PM only. All submissions from anonymous viewers and authors alike in the review section will be deleted/ignored.

2.) Only one OC submission per person.

3.) Do not beg for me to give your OC screentime or give them more than one cameo. Doing so will only make me less likely to bring yours in. I will bring characters in when I feel it's appropriate to do so. In fact, if you do so, I'll probably just ice your character immediately.

4.) OCs will die in this story, both mine and submitted characters. So if your character dies, do not get angry and throw a fit. You should know that people die in these stories and you gave me your permission to kill them off after sending them to me.

5.) OC submission is NOT first come first serve. I have to get a feel for your character, so the more interesting you make them with the form, the more likely you have a chance of getting in.

6.) FOLLOW THE FORM THE WAY IT IS ON MY PROFILE. Failure to do so is automatic disqualification. It's not hard to follow the form and I was way too lenient on this the last time.

7.) If you have any questions, PM me.
