Chapter 2: The Reasoning


Saria, knowning that she couldn`t escape, looked at Rhys and said, "But I am not 'Li`kir'. My name is Saria, and I don`t know the person you are talking about. You must have me mistaken for someone else."
"I couldn`t have mistaken you, ever, because you are the one who ruined my life," replied Rhys, emotionless expresstion pasted to his face, he continued never-the-less, "before you ask, let me explain to you why you can`t remember your family, or friends, or even the house you lived in. About three or four years ago, a girl named Li`kir stumbled into a labratory run by Giovanni; This lab was a place were I worked. I was about to turn twenty-eight that year, and I had finished college and had my PH.D. when this girl thought that she could tell me how to geneticly rewire Pokémon dioxribonnucleic acids. To tell the truth, the girl, even for her age, extremely intellegent in the field. Because she was one of the worker's daughter, she was permitted to enter the lab, especially because she wanted to work for Giovanni in the same field. When I was in the genetics storage facinity, she reprogramed the machine and accidentally made the machine explode, sending scrambled DNA frequencies to everything in the room. She killed five, and permantly injured dozens who work in that lab, myself included; I am now permanantly fourteen again."
"That doesn`t explain why I am involved in this if the girl named 'Li`kir' was the one who ruined your life, not me," Saria said, missing the obvisous. "Your such a stupid girl..." The voice that came wasn`t entirely Rhys' or entirely the ghost's. The mixed ad twisted to form a weird voice that would make your skin crawl because it was so dark and sinister. "Li`kir was also blasted with those rays; as a result, she was sent into a coma for three months, and her family basicly abandoned her. When she awoke, a nurse mistook her for a different patient in the hospital she was being treated in. The other patient's name was Saria. She had died early that morning, and the nurse hadn`t been told... Welcome back, Li`kir... or should I call you 'Saria'? Heh heh heh..."
"What do I do now? I know nothing about myself, and how am I to run, when there is no place for me to run to? What reason for me is there to continue on?" Saria blinked as tears as how much she didn`t have, impacted her small world. She starred up at Rhys, and he grinned back. "I can give you a life, instead of the measly, pathetic existance you have now. I can forgive you, if you work with my company... Why would I do such a thing? There are two reasons I have: the first being my fa- boss doesn`t want you dead, and secondly, I am truely not as cold-hearted as you think. Besides, your abilities could be somewhat helpful.
"But first, I must handle a little matter before you wake..." Before Saria could even question his comment, her body was lying limp, unconcious apon the hard, cold ground.

Wake up... please... you can`t have been hit that hard... Something lightly slapped Saria's cheek, trying to arouse her to awakening. Slowly, Saria's eyes opened, to see a guy around a year to three older than she leaning over her. He had white hair dispite his age, and his eyes were a very dim blue.
"Who are you? Where am I? Why does my head feel like a cracked coconut?" Saria asked holding a hand to her head as she sat up. Though she didn`t realize it, the man answered without using his mouth, That is because you were knocked out by Rhys. As far as my name, I am Ra`ion, and you are at Team Rocket Headquaters. This place... is.... where......... His words drifted into the background of her mind as other words filled her eyes.
Don`t listen to him... he known not really of this place... you`ve been here before... go on your own... go see him... you know what you must do...
"What must I do...?" Saria thought to herself.
Knives... blood... blades... take... command... rule... destiny is your to shape, so take hold and mold it... NOW...
