Outskirts of Pokerus Prevention
1:00 PM

*****

"Alright, here we are. This is Pokerus Prevention." Damien announces as the car pulls up not far from the building. 

"Not exactly extravagant." Jefferson mutters as the duo get out of the car. "Right then, we have to find this Luke Sterling fellow." 

"Where do we even begin? All our lead is he hangs around here. We don't even know what the guy looks like!" Damien lets out in an annoyed tone. 

"We better start looking then!" Jefferson says hitting his shoulder playfully. With a deep sigh from Damien, the two begin to venture around the forest. Most of the forest was rather barren, there weren't even Pokemon in it which was strange. 

"How is there nothing here?" Damien asks not expecting a real answer.

"And how do we not hear the one other living soul in this stupid forest." Jefferson adds as they stop for a moment ad survey the area. "This Luke has to be around somewhere..." 

"Excuse me, did you say Luke?" a frail voice calls out to Jefferson and Damien. 

"Who said that?" Damien asks the voice looking around. 

"Why do you wish to speak with Luke?" the voice asks as a small man walks out from a bush. 

"We're investigating the recent disappearances involving Pokerus Prevention, we want to question him." Damien explains.

"Luke's been gone for a long time..." the man says. "But I can answer you're questions you intended to give to him." 

"Do you come by here often?" Jefferson chimes in skeptically. 

"I spy here all the time, it's a hobby." the man says admittedly. 

"Tell us what you know about it then, everything." Jefferson says crossing his arms. 

"Very well." the man says taking a seat. "It all started when this building came out of literally nowhere on night. I was making my rounds through the forest and bumped into it. Soon, ads kept popping up talking about a place where trainer's can leave their Pokemon behind to avoid infection. However I've seen every single person come and no one has ever come out of that place. From the first one when it opened to the cops just a few hours ago." he recalled. 

"Wait, the cops?" Damien says puzzled. "What happened with them?" 

"There were three guys, all with guns. I stayed away but once they entered I heard gunshots and screaming. They never came out..." the man replies. 

Jefferson looks over to Damien. "You think those cops got taken down? They would have left by now." 

"It seems like we're dealing with something big here." Damien sighs. "This place is more than just an abandonment center..." 

"Just leave me out of it alright?" the man replies nervously. 

"What? You have so much information we can use!" Jefferson shouts back. "We need your help or more people could disappear!" 

"You don't understand!" the man shouts running off. 

"Nice job, you scared him away!" Damien scolds, slapping the back of Jefferson's head. 

"He wasn't going to help us! I could at least try and guilt trip him!" Jefferson defends. "But we have to go in now, otherwise more people are going to get hurt!" 

"Are you mad? We could be the next victims!" Damien says. 

"Better me than someone's child, or brother. You're the only thing I have!" Jefferson said. "You can run off if you want; I'm not going to force you into this." 

"Jefferson...I'm your partner, I've known you since High School. You think I'm going to leave you because you don't want more people to disappear? No, I'm going to help you. Because I trust your judgement. Now what are we wasting time for?" Damien says with a smile, putting his hand on Jefferson's shoulder. 

Jefferson nods and smirks. "Come on then, we have no time to lose." The duo make their way back to the strange steel building gates. Jefferson takes a deep breath. "Ready?" Damien nods as the duo enter the dark and desolate building. 

"This isn't exactly quality customer service..." Jefferson sighs as he and Damien make their way through the corridor. Soon enough, they came to a fork. One lead to a flight of stairs while the other leads down the hall. "I'll take the stairs, take the hall." Jefferson said. 

"Stay safe, shout if you need help." Damien nods as the duo split up. From the shadow's blue eyes start to glow, unbeknownst to them.

Pokerus Prevention Basement
1:20 PM 

Jefferson nervously made his way down the stairs, making sure to look back and fourth with every step to ensure no one caught him by surprise. He made it down to the basement where he examined around. It was like some kind of prison. Instead of bars there were glass panels, and inside there were Pokemon. Jefferson thought to himself, "Were these the Pokemon left behind?" as he walked through the corridor. Suddenly, he came across a sign that read "INFECTED POKEMON, ENTER WITH CAUTION." "Did that mean Pokerus infected?" Jefferson thought to himself. He went to turn the other way, to be stopped by a a small Riolu. Jefferson couldn't get past her, and the only other option was going through the infected Pokemon section. It blocked the path, but something that small would be able to easily moved. Jefferson went to walk in it's direction but stopped in his tracks as the Riolu's eyes and body began to emit a blue glow. It held a paw out as it held began to push Jefferson back into the room with infected Pokemon. He tried to fight it but was unable to overcome it, only slow down the inevitable. "Hey! Anyone! Help!" Jefferson begins to shout in vain as he slowly but surely is pushed to the next room over. 

*****
Pokerus Prevention Main Floor
1:20 PM 

Damien continued down the main hall of Pokerus Prevention. There didn't seem like much of anything really. It seemed like any old abandoned warehouse, which Damien thought was a tad ironic. He made his way down to a strange room with some sort of tube, a second room next to it separated by a glass plane. He turned around and walked out of the room, the door closing as soon as he left the chamber. Suddenly, a loud yell is heard as a hooded figure falls from the ceiling. "You shouldn't have come." is all it said as it approaches Damien slowly. He tries to run off as the figure pulls out a black-fur covered paw, leaving Damien frozen in place. It walks up to him takes it's hood off, revealing the head of a Lucario. It grabs Damien as lifts him up, his eyes glowing blue looking into Damien's which eyes start to glow blue as well. 

"Enough!" a voice calls out as the Lucario drops Damien down, the glow from both of them stopping. Damien begins to pant heavily unable to move despite how much he wished, and simply looked up at the action. 

"You!" the voice calls out angrily. 

"It's me. And it's time to right my wrongs." the voice calls back, out stepping from the shadows the man from earlier that Damien and Jefferson talked to. 

"You left me here for dead!" the Lucario shouted back at him. "You experimented on me! Gave me this virus that I never wanted!" it yells getting closer to him. "I learned to control it but it took years. And I was going to make sure that no other Pokemon went through what you put me through!" 

"I'm sorry." the man replies, pulling out a Master Ball from his pocket. "I didn't have a choice! They would have killed me if I hadn't obeyed them! I didn't want Crescent to fall! I hated what I did to you! I can't bare to have that guilt with me constantly!"

"I was terrified and you abandoned me!" the Lucario replies angrily, blue aura starting to form around his body as his "hairs" rose. 

"It's about time I righted my wrong." he says, throwing the ball at the Lucario. However, he uses the aura and catches it before it hits it, and sends it flying in the other direction. The man looks back at the Lucario with wide eyes. 

"Luke Sterling...it's time you pay for your crimes. I've waited years for this moment." the Lucario says grabbing Luke by the shoulder's, putting him in the same trance-like state that the Lucario put on Damien. Damien's eyes widened as the Lucario held him, and the realization that the man was Luke himself, and that he sounded like a criminal. Damien looked over to see the Master Ball lying nearby. He began to crawl to it as fast as he could before Luke's body and mind was changed forever. The Lucario looked angrily into the man's eyes as it began his body began to change. 

Luke tries to kick and wiggle his way out to no avail, his body unable to listen to his commands, under the Lucario's command. While his eyes gave off a blue aura, his body was altering around him. His legs and waist turned a green color as they shortened greatly, They became more shapely as his feet lost their toes and altered to where he would always stand on his toes like a ballet dancer. At his crotch Luke felt immense pain as his manhood contorted to make him become the opposite sex. Luke's torso contorted and his shirt fused with his body, going out like a tutu as the rest of his body turned a bright white color. Her arms became much thinner as her hands became flat. 

As Luke's body was almost done changing, Damien inched closer and closer to the Master Ball, unbeknownst to the Lucario. He grabbed it with a wave of gusto and started to try and get up, having trouble doing so. As he was doing so, Luke's body was finishing it's transformation. Her eyes became larger and turned red, underneath the blue glow. Her ears pointed outward and became hard and light red while her hair followed, turning green and solid as if to resemble bangs. 

"No you're all mine." the Lucario says with a smirk as it gets ready to alter Luke's mind like the police man before. 

"Think again." Damien says tossing the Master Ball at the Pokemon. 

"No!" it calls out dropping Luke's transformed body, her eyes turning to their now normal red state, her old mind in tact. The Lucario tried to stop the ball from hitting him but too late. It hit the Lucario in the legs as the ball shook three times, locking the Lucario in there. Damien looks down breathing heavily with a smile. "We did it..." he says before looking over to the transformed Luke, his smile leaving. He was afraid to approach, but a voice called out to him. 

"It's okay. I'm not infected." 

Damien looked down at the newly made Kirlia in surprised. "You can talk?" 

"Not exactly." Luke replied. "But Psychic Pokemon can use telepathy if powerful enough, the Lucario you caught changed my mind just enough for me to master it without destroying my old memories and free will." 

"Better than the alternative I suppose." Damien replied. 

"I deserve this fate." Luke sighs. "At least I'm not contagious..." 

"Why is that? How is this transformation different than normal Pokerus?" 

"You see...during the infamous Fall of Crescent, I was a lead scientist on making a more powerful Pokerus, and the Lucario...the Lucario was a guinea pig. We made an artificial version of the virus that instantly turns someone into a Pokemon, but the contagious effects of it wouldn't exist. That madman who had the leash on my neck demanded I make one that did just that, but I fled with the Lucario to not put it through more harm. Unfortunately it didn't see it like that..." Luke says looking down at the ball. 

"I'm sorry." Damien says with a frown. "Wait...Jefferson!" he says rushing down the path, Luke following. They both quickly descend the stairs, and find the Riolu pushing Jefferson back into the room. Damien gets into an attack stance to get it from behind. 

"Don't." Luke says as he approaches the Riolu from behind. She taps it's head as it let's its grip on Jefferson free. 

"Thank goodness..." Jefferson sighs as he rushes past the two Pokemon back to Damien, hugging him tightly. "You saved me from turning into a Pokemon, thank you." he says. 

"It's no problem...keep each other safe right?" Damien says with a chuckle as the two turn back to the Riolu and Kirlia. 

"Wh-where am I? Wait...why is my voice..." the Riolu looks down and lets out a small squeal. "I'm a Pokemon!" 

"Yes, we were both transformed by a bitter Pokemon." Luke explains. "I'm here to set the wrongs it caused right, and at the very least I can help you feel comfortable by being with those like you, humans turned Pokemon." he comforts. 

"And my partners? What happened to them?" the Riolu asked nervously. 

"I'm afraid they had the same fate as you; most likely anyways. I'll help you all get through this." she says giving small hug to the Riolu, turning to Damien and Jefferson. "You two should leave, the Lucario wasn't working alone, he had many brainwashed soldiers guarding the infected chamber. I'll restore their old minds, but I'm sure you don't want to be converted to!" 

"Right." Damien nods. "Thanks Luke, for saving us." 

"It's my duty to fix my mistakes...you two made me realize that. So thank you, and farewell!" Luke says as she looks at the Riolu, taking her paw walking into the infected chambers. 

"Let's get out of here already, I'm done with this place." Jefferson walking off, Damien following. Soon enough they are both at the surface.

"See? I told you it wasn't just Pokerus-based transformations." Jefferson said with a chuckle. 

"Okay, okay; you were right." Damien says playfully putting his hands in the air. 

Suddenly a bright light comes from inside the Pokerus Prevention building, and dozens of Pokemon storm out and run off to return to their loved ones. Luke used the power stored in the building to transmit a message to each and every single one of the transformed's family, saying they were coming home; albeit as Pokemon. After all of this Luke walks out of the building. "These were all humans once, on their way back to their homes. The boy with the Eevee, the officers, all of them." he explains. 

Jefferson gets a small smile on his face. "I promised I'd send him home..." he says with a smile revering to Tyler returning home. 

"Come on Jefferson, there's got to be more corrupt places like this one, I think it's our duty to stop it." Damien says looking over with a smile. 

"Wait!" Luke calls out to the two. "I want to travel with you..." 

"You want to come with us?" Jefferson asked with a raised eyebrow. 

"The last time you helped us you became a Kirlia." Damien replied. 

"I know. But after everything I've done...I need to repay my debt to society. Please allow me to help you help others." Luke says warmly. 

"We could use a psychic to help scout places out for danger." Damien said looking over to Jefferson. 

"Why not, you're willing to help others, who am I to stop you?" he says with a smile. "Get in the car." he says opening the backseat door. Luke walks over and hops in while Jefferson and Damien sit in the front. "Alright, we got work to do." Jefferson said as the new trio of partners drove off into the sunset.
