    Posting this list again. The last chapter of the story is on the previous page.

    List of gijinkas

    Natural- these people are Pokemon that have been reincarnated as a human. It is an unusual circumstance, said to be once a generation. There are currently two living in Unova.

    Drayden- reincarnated from a Haxorus. His lifespan is extended due to his Pokemon soul, but is also slowed down. He is marked by an exceptional endurance and resistance to illness and poison.

    Keith- reincarnated from a Beehyem. Don't remember him? He was the four-year-old psychic kid that Hilda helped to catch a Woobat. He sees auras and has an excellent memory.


    Engineered Gijinkas- This is the group that Dr. Umber created; he had a few assistants, but much of the development and work he did himself. Most of these gijinkas are unaware of their natural parents, as Umber took advantage of needy and poor mothers, often single and young, to get the embryos he needed for the genetic work. Those that survived to two years of age were assigned a letter; the ones that died prior to that were written off as complete failures.

    A- died of a heart condition

    B- died during a test battle against a Pokemon

    C- died of a seizure

    D- Skyla. She was infused with genes from various Flying type Pokemon, so that is her predominant type. She can sense precise air conditions of thirty feet around her, further if she focuses on it. While she can't truly fly, she does have the capability to jump far better than a regular human and can slow her descent immensely. However, she has fragile bones.

    E- Elesa. Although she has survived, in Umber's notes she is recorded as a failure. She was given an Electric type and does have the capability to naturally produce electricity. She has few ways to discharge this energy, though, and no way to control its production. To prevent health issues from the buildup, she has to wear something that can release the energy continually. She also has a fast metabolism.

    F- Luke. He was a Steel type and managed to escape from Umber with the others. However, even then he had health problems which killed him a year after they escaped. After his death, it was discovered that tissue in several of his vital organs had started turning into steel.

    G- Chili. He was given a Fire type, and was also the first to successfully be given defenses against his own power. He can touch fire without harm and can manipulate it when he has physical contact of the flame or something that is on fire. He cannot create fire energy.

    H- Cress. He was given a Water type and so can manipulate water to some degree. This works better with small quantities; a gallon is usually his limit. His mood is affected by the moon, although he has trained himself to not show it outwardly under most circumstances.

    I- Cilan. As a Grass-type gijinka, he can communicate with plants. This does not take a form like any known language. Rather, he can gain a lot of knowledge about a particular plant by touching it for some time, as well as affect its growth and production by his will. He is limited by what the plant can do naturally, but knowing what minerals a plant needs allows him to grow some amazing plants. His mood is affected by the sun; more severely than Cress, so Cilan easily gets depressed during the winter.

    *Note: The parents of the Striaton triplets were confirmed shortly after the group escaped, but only because their brutal murder was big news in Unova. A man named Takumi was blamed for the crime; the husband was found decapitated in their home, while his wife was found dead a few months later on a beach. Takumi was only captured a couple years back.

    J- died shortly after she turned two because not all of her organic tissue was immune to the poisons she produced.

    K- Marshal. He was given a Fight type from several different humanoid Pokemon. Perhaps due to this, his abilities are not as pronounced as the others in the experiments. His skill in martial arts, while learned quickly, are not that different from other human masters. He does have an enhanced reaction time and a talent for reading body language.

    L- died, was an attempt at a Ghost type able to use Pokemon moves. While he had the ability to dematerialize, he was killed when he got startled while in a wall and materialized there.

    M- Hilbert. A Dark type, he is the older twin. He and N were worked on more extensively than the others, including a few operations done after they were born, due to the requirements Ghetsis put down. He is a demimortal, but unless an immortal decides to make him its heir, he will age and die normally. Was thought to have an ability like Cute Charm, but it turned out to actually be Serene Grace when the 'defect' that made Attract permanently active was turned off. As of May 12th of his twentieth year, he knows Attract, Detect, and Haze.

    N- N. A Normal type, also with the Serene Grace ability. Statistically, he's the strongest of Umber's gijinkas. Like Hilbert, he is a demimortal that is not an immortal's heir. However, they have a hidden power that activates under great anger and stress in the presence of an immortal which could steal the immortal's power. If an immortal is not present, the ability sometimes activates a move at random. As of May 12th of his twentieth year, he knows Sing, Flash, Hyper Beam, and Heal Pulse.

    O- Iris. Umber's work on Iris got delayed when Ghetsis became involved, hence why she ended up being born shortly after he was finished with Hilbert and N. While she is a Dragon type, she cannot use Pokemon moves. She does have a lot of advantages over humans: enhanced intelligence, physical strength, endurance, and disease resistance. However, her development and growth are slowed in being a dragon.

    P- Shadow Triad female. In particular, the one that was called Valerie briefly. She is a Poison type and has the best socialization capacities of the three. But when she's not acting, she and the others do not show or feel emotions strongly.

    Q- Shadow Triad female. In particular, the one that was called Carol. She is a Ghost type, more controlled than her predecessor. These three have the strongest infusion of Pokemon genes, leading to them not acting human.

    R- Shadow Triad male. He is a Bug type. This greatly handicaps his ability to communicate through spoken language, but he can speak if he puts his mind to it. He is the most capable of the three in battle. Takumi is their father.

    Extra Scenes

    Well, two of them so far. The first one is part of Kyurem and Mimi's backstory, but from the point of view of those in Lacunosa.



    It was one of the earliest wars of Zekrom and Reshiram against Kyurem, with the two dragons serving one united kingdom that was facing a terrible long winter brought about by the lone dragon. As always, the town of Lacunosa was ruled over by Kyurem, as his stronghold was closest to there. The area was rich in good earth and precious stones so many people had been tempted to stay when the ice dragon slept. Now that he was active, they were forced to make sacrifices of themselves, both human and Pokemon, to keep him from destroying them utterly.

    In this town, there lived a girl who had been born with strange black and white hair. Her parents were powerful enough within the community that the others did not dare act against her, but as she grew, powers of electricity began to manifest within her. She was a gajinka, a mysterious being that is born when a Pokemon soul inadvertently is born human. It is not known why or how this is so, but it happens with incredible rarity. In many places, people do not trust gajinkas and have been known to put them to death once their powers show.

    But this girl was allowed to live until she was a young woman. She was known for having a pure heart and a kind soul, so with the shelter of her family's power, no one was inclined to harm her. Then, her father died as a result of the unnatural winter brought about by Kyurem. Superstition flared up and when the time came for another sacrifice, many people said that the gajinka had to go.

    After spending a night in contemplation, she agreed and set off into the forest seeking protection for Lacunosa. But on the surface of the crater, she found a sight she did not expect: Kyurem saddened by the death of a Minccino. It was strange, but the girl was touched by this and agreed to help bury the Pokemon. After that, she sang a song asking for a blessing on its soul to find a peaceful rest.

    For her kindness to the Pokemon he called Mimi, Kyurem spared the girl's life and agreed to end the winter to allow spring to come. He also swore, upon his power, that he would do so again if the residents of Lacunosa agreed to honor a particular promise. The girl returned home and gave word of what happened to the people there.

    From that point on, the peoples of Unova have always seen the birth of a gajinka as a lucky thing.

    -+-

    And this second little snippet... well we've seen the heroine of the sequel, so what about the hero? It may or may not appear; trailers lie!

    Aspertia City

    It was raining, but Nate had to get out of the building. Being out in the fresh air was a relief. He stood under the borrowed umbrella, watching the water streaming in the gutters. Out in the cold rain... this was so ordinary. But it was nice in that way. The thing that really troubled him was, “What am I supposed to be doing here?”

    “Hey!” Nate looked over and saw another teenager coming up to him. It was a boy he wasn't familiar with. Then again, he hadn't been here in Aspertia for long. “Aren't you that crazy guy who's dating Rosa?”

    “I'm not dating her,” he said.

    “Right,” the boy said sarcastically. “You shouldn't be so careless about that. There's several guys that would like to be her boyfriend; I was going to congratulate you. Don't let her get away from you.”

    Nate shook his head. “Did I end up in a dating sim by accident?”

    “What?” the boy said.

    “Never mind. Were you going to tell me something simple like how pressing the X button reads signs? No, this is supposed to be a Nintendo game. It'd be the A button.”

    The boy raised an eyebrow. “What're you talking about? This isn't a game.”

    “That's what you think,” Nate said. “Or maybe it's just what I think.” And maybe he should stop talking. This wasn't helping him convince the others that he wasn't crazy and could be released from the hospital permanently.

    But what was he supposed to do?


    Contest (of sorts)


    So will or won't there be a sequel? Well there are cliches I didn't get around to playing with. The test scene with Nate shows off one that I'm interested in. And really, Colress is awesome. He's like a dark version of Hilda, in a True Neutral kind of way (although Hilda's more of a Neutral Good... whatever, it's been too long since I was heavily into D&D).

    But if I do a sequel, there is one thing that would bug me. I added Zane's son because I was influenced by the game sequels (and I like how the Dragonspiral sequence came out with him in it). However, I never got around to giving a nickname to that Zorua. And since that Zorua would at least show up in the scene with Rood, he needs a nickname.

    A little contest-like thing: Give the Zorua a nickname, along with which character (N, Rood, or even someone else) gave that nickname and why.

    How to enter: It can be posted with a review or PM/IM to me (especially after I move it to the completed section.

    Prize: The nickname and explanation I like best will be used for the Zorua in a CS sequel and I'll give credit to that person.

    Wow, it's really over. It'll be weird not coming here every Friday anymore. Can't wait for the sequel if there is one!

    And I have no idea about Zorua's nickname...

    Wow... I can't beleive its over. Hopefully you make that sequal (it's the only reason I ever get on Serebii anymore). As for Zorua...

    Zahid (means "selfless")
    Considering Rood cannot talk to pokemon, I think N would have named him. Anyways, there are very few good "Z" names that I could think of. This was the best I had. ;P

    I'll check back for a sequal whenever it comes out. Be sure to PM me when it does!
    I have:
    Platinum
    Heartgold
    White
    Black
    Rumble Blast
    White 2

    I used to liek mudkipz, then I took an arrow in the knee. However the arrow turned out to be a seaking. It yelled "F*** yeah" so I screamed "FUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!". The seaking's face became that of a troll while mine became forever alone. The situation was super effective.

    Nice ending to it, Ysa. And a sequel hook/cliffhanger, because now I want to know who won. Between Alder and Hilda.

    And the name? Ziven means "Vigourous and alive" in Slavic, and judging by how hyperactive he seems to be, I'd say that fits. As a name based on his behaviour maybe Rood gave it to him, but I can't remember how good he is at languages, if that's remembered anywhere.

    Behold, I am finally posting! Excellent story; I have enjoyed lurking behind the scenes thoroughly. Anyhow, I'm going to go with a (gasp) non-z name and suggest Felix for absolutely no reason other than he seems like a Felix. (And he never, not ONCE gets struck by lightning. That counts as lucky... right?) It doesn't particularly matter for purposes of this name whether he was named by N, Rood, or zombie mailmen from Milwaukee, though that last one could be rather interesting...
    All hail Lord Dunsparce
