The recreated Failure

..??!!!!!!!!
"Cough cough hurk hurl bleurgh!!!!!" These were my first words, if one could even call them that. I woke up in a pool of black sludge surrounded by and underneath metal and wires, an alarm blaring in my ears. My vision limited, i could only make out the gray glass walls and scientist hiding behind murmuring to themselves. Having just been "born" i had no idea what any of this was or why, nor would i have the chance to figure it out on my own. For as soon as i began to think, two Machamps came rushing in to take me to safety. Carefully yet quickly they tore off and removed any wires and metal that stuck to my body and gently put me onto the stretcher bed. As they were carrying me out the same voices coming from those walls became louder. I was still in a daze so i couldn't understand what most of them they were saying, except one thing that made my ears perked up: "Are we sure this thing will be able to recreate the ultimate weapon?" "Weapon? Thing?" Drifting off to a deep sleep those words would echo through my entire being. When i next awoke i was floating inside some test tube, i could feel the blue liquid enveloping me. Sustaining me, giving me life energy. Not only was my vision limited but so were my movements. The tube wasn't so small for it to feel constricting but also not big or wide enough to where i could stretch my legs. Most i could do was place my hand upon the glass Infront me. Speaking of Infront, there were three scientist seated in front of a control panel looking over a bunch of numbers, graphs, and words i would soon come to know as "Data", my data. I tapped the glass to get they're attention. One jumped out of his seat, the other turned his head up so quickly it looked like it was being snapped off by an invisible force, and the last one had no reaction. For the last one already knew i was awake. "649" the leader said in a cold monotone voice, "We ran some Physical test on your body, and we came to the conclusion that that tube your in is the only place you'll be for the time being. which is unfortunate as we need you to fulfill two roles, not just one." I had no idea what he was talking about at the time. But i didn't like the sound of it, the man continued "We are going to ask you three questions, and show you three images alongside those questions. Depending on the answers you give us will determine whether we keep you alive or." The man pulled out a pokeball "We cut our losses and try again. So let's begin":
Question 1: "What is this?" The man showed an image of a tiny creature holding a flower. Looking at it evoked a sense sorrow and longing to be with it. But i did not know what it was so i remained silent. "Very well, next question".
Question 2: "When you look at this man what are you reminded of? What does your heart feel?" The image was of some old ruler from a time long gone. While looking at this this image did evoke a sense of regret it did not remind me of anything. Was i suppose to know this man? And that creature from before? I remained silent. "Not looking good 649, you better answer this next one".
Final Question: Did you make this? An image of a giant crystal spire piercing the heavens was shown to me. Looking at it caused a sense of dread to surge within. But alas i remained silent once more. For i did not make it. "I see, this one was also a failure. Alright." the man said calmly. He pulled out his pokeball once more and out came a Muk. I knew what was coming. "Muk use Sludge Wa- hold that thought" a voice came form behind the scientists. The source of said voice came walking in. It was an old woman and by her side a young man whom, judging by the way the scientist were backing away from him specifically, was her bodyguard. the old Lady was wearing a fancy light blue dress with a darker caller on top to contrast. On her left side was adorned three accessories, a pin(which i would later come to know as her company logo), a gadget on her wrist, and a ring on her finger. Was she married? Not that i would ever bother asking. Because soon i would come to associate this woman's presence with fear. Her right hand was dressed in a simple but fitting business suit, with the only notable thing about his attire being the two cute little hair ornaments on his head. "So this is the end result of all those resources i gave you? A shambling corpse that needs to be kept inside this liquid coffin less a gentle breeze will shatter him apart?" The woman said, eyeing me up and down with a look of disappointment on her face. "We know Ma'am, it is a failure in every sense of the word. Not only is it incapable of existing outside this chamber but it also does not posses even a single memory of the former King of Kalos. We were just about to get rid of it and try aga- No." A shutdown so swift and sharp that i could tell from where i was even the lead scientist was hesitating to respond to it. The only person unfazed by it was the big man behind her. "My patience has run it's course with you, Vinnie." The woman snapped her fingers and in an instant Vinnie was behind the scientist and not even a second later he was carrying the poor soul out of the room. A few minutes later he returned. The two other scientist got to they're knees and started begging for their lives. But the older woman ignored them, instead her attention on me. "Young man" she said in a calm and gentle voice, it did not make the fear swelling in my stomach subside. "Can you understand what i'm saying?" Scared of what might happen to me if i did not answer I nodded. "Good, do you know what a pokemon is?" I Shaked my head, "I see, very well, we shall try it this method. Vinnie" the Old lady once again snapped her fingers and in response Vinnie produced a purple pokeball with the letter M on it form his person. "You two" the lady said in a commanding tone. "Release him." And as instructed they began to quickly hit some buttons on the control panel. Once they were done a noise sounded within the room. Shortly after, the blue liquid drained from my test tube an- "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts. The pain was the only thing running through my mind."Vinne, Carefully and Gently now." The woman was saying something more but i couldn't hear it properly, my mind was going numb. And i soon passed out. Next i awoke on top of a creature who's smile welcomed me back to the world of the living. Unlike the old Lady's this one's smile felt genuine. And the warmth coming from it too was just as pleasant. "That is an Audino," A familiar voice that sent shivers down my spine. One of the few pokemon who are naturally friendly with humans and will readily aid any they see injured. That warmth you feel is her using Heal Pulse to alleviate your condition." I look to the left to see the old lady standing over me. "Here" she handed me the purple pokeball. "Surely you have enough strength in those brittle bones to toss it don't you?" With all i could muster toss high i can into the air. Out of it came a different pokemon, this one sharing the same colors as the pokeball. "That is Genesect, a rare and powerful pokemon and your weapon in this fight" Fight? That word, it seemed to put me in a trance. A trance i broken out of by the woman immediately snapping her fingers which began to make the room shake. I closed my eyes out of instinct and kept them closed until everything stopped moving. When i opened them my eyes were shocked to see how big this room became but more over, the three pokemon standing at the opposite end was where my attention was being drawn to, as i could see Vinnie behind them. The Audino holding me repositioned herself to give me a better view. "To the left Rhyperior, to the right Electivire, and in the center Magmortar. These three pokemon will be your opponents." The Genesect having been standing unmoving step forward into battle. "Fight" the Lady said once more. And once more i was placed under a trance. "Magmortar Fire Blast, Electivire Thunderbolt, Rhyperior Rock Wrecker." Vinnie commanded, One by one they sent out their attacks, and one by one.... "Extreme Speed" First, we dodged the fire blast, second we tanked the thunderbolt head on and last we deflected the rock wrecker coming our way. And not a moment to waste we immediately. "Techno Blast." Went for the kill. A stream of blue energy that resembled pressurized water shot out of the cannon on our back. Sending Rhyperior towards the wall. "Magmortar! Electivire! Use Will-O-Wisp and Thunder Wave!" Vinnie commanded once more, due to they're close proximity we could not react in time. First came the paralysis then the burn. "Now Flare Blitz!" Right after the Magmortar came charging at us sending us into the air. "Supercell Slam!" with those word said Electivire jumped high above and then came crashing down on top us. "Keep him pinned down" Vinnie ordered. "Use Earthquake Rhyperior! Use Earthquake!" said the idiot. A great tremor vibrated the battlefield and subsequently all pokemon on said battlefield. Magmortar collapsed onto the ground while Electivire, try as he might, could not hold us down any longer due his own pain. "Techno Blast the ceiling" and from on high drops of blue energy came down upon everyone. Vinnie looked confused, until he realized the burning effect had worn off which meant we were no longer taking damage over time. "Leech Life" Before he could be given the chance to we made sure to restore some of our health. Electivire was the closet so we sapped his vitality sending him back down. "Rhyperior!Use Megahorn!" With his horn beginning to glow Rhyperior Dashed towards us with all his might. Still under the effects of paralysis we decided to take cover behind the yellow sasquatch letting him bear the load. At the last minute we got out of the way and as expected the Electivire toke the full force of Rhyperior's megahorn. Knocking him out. "Leech Life." Having already received the full force of a point blank techno blast Rhyperior didn't have much energy left to give. Yet it was just enough that most of the injuries we sustained were taken care of. Now that only leaves- from the corner of our eye a flaming spiral was heading towards us. "Extreme Speed." We were able to get out of the way in time, still that was too close. "Magmortar, finish this with a Hyper Beam" Vinnie commanded. Thus the red duckling held his cannon arms towards us, we responded in kind by aiming our cannon towards him. "Techno Blast once more" And so, a stream of blue energy and a stream pure energy was fired towards each other. The beam struggle barley lasted five seconds before we overpowerd the opposing Magmortar, sending him towards the wall knocking him out. And thus the battle came to a close with us as the victory and with that the trance i was placed under ended and once again i returned to a deep sleep. Later i would wake up inside the same tube i was placed in to keep me alive. As weird as this might sound i'm glad to be back in here. Standing Infront of me was the old lady alongside her bodyguard Vinnie and the two scientist from before. "First off let me properly introduce myself. I am Jett: CEO of Quasartico inc.. And congratulations on your new lease on life." The woman said while clapping her hands. "I have somewhere i need to be tomorrow so I'll keep this brief" And so she explained to me all about our world, the wonderful creatures called pokemon that we humans share our world with and our home region of Kalso and it's history. She then procced to explain that 3,000 years ago the former of King Kalos AZ: created an ultimate weapon that, by sacrificing the lives of many innocent pokemon in a bloody war to power it up with life energy. He would use it to bring his dear friend back to life. And that i was his clone. Now suddenly those questions that cold-hearted scientist asked me made sense now. According her they're goal was to recreate an AZ in his prime with all his knowledge and memories of making the Ultimate Weapon, instead they got me. But after proving myself they've decided to give me another chance, though in reality the real reason they kept me around was because this secret project was probably most definitely a huge money hole that was costing them way too much. My purpose was to study everything there is to know about my original self so that i can remake the same weapon that toke so many pokemons lives. And to act as the "Champion" of the battle royale to ensure nobody get's they're wish granted. A Recreated Failure, an Atrocity.
