Prologue
***
	The three projects were located in the same building, which was funny, 
because they became hopelessly entwined.  But now, they were all simply 
proceeding.  Professor Browne of Grinnel College was developing a miniature 
storage system for important documents.  The spherical storage containers could 
open and close at a touch, and could shrink to smaller sizes for smaller cargo.  
The unique thing about these containers was that they were made of Beranium, the 
newest and strongest element, commonly found on the shores of Krakatoa, where 
diamonds had been bonded with seawater to form a nearly indestructable material.  
Next door, Dr. Leeder of Bowdoin College was experimenting with the conversion 
of matter into energy for simple transportation.  He was nearing completion of a 
device that could place any object, living or inanimate, into a pure energy 
state, where they would remain in stasis indefinately and could be revitalized 
with simple energy purification techniques.  He was quite proud, and ready to 
reveal his invention to NASA, the military, and every other organization that 
would benefit from storing bulky materials in pure energy states.  In fact, he 
had been collaborating with Professor Browne to store the energy inside of the 
small balls of Beranium.  And finally, in the largest room of the research 
facility, Dr. Maria Kennedy was testing with acceleration of small particles to 
faster-than-light speeds.  Today, she was going to test her newest model, and 
was confidant of its success.  But no one could have forseen what would 
happen...

	Professor Westwood V looked calmly at the machine, and the energy that 
would power it.  He had become convinced that other universes existed besides 
the Pokemon island, and had developed the technology to open a permenant 
gateway.  But the machine had failed, and he had seen that there were not enough 
energy plants on the entire planet to power his machine.  And then he had made a 
breakthrough.  When Pokemon are released from their Pokeballs, they are pure 
energy for a single instant.  And when matter is converted into energy, the 
output is enormous.  So Professor Westwood had captured five Magikarp, and 
rigged them to the machine.  When he started it, they would be destroyed, their 
energy converted into electricity to power the machine.  He threw the switch.  
The Pokeballs were opened, and the energy was rerouted into the machine, which 
began to build up with a low whining.  Professor Westwood frowned as he watched 
the air behind the machine twist and buckle.  It wasn't distorting enough.  The 
energy hadn't been enough.  The machine was thirty seconds away from reaching 
full power, but the professor was dejected.  Unless someone on the other side 
did something that released an enormous amount of energy into the spacial-
temporal fabric, the machine would fail.  And it had to be within the five-
second window when the machine was running at full power.  Twenty seconds until 
the machine reached full power.

	Dr. Kennedy started up the particle accelerator.  The machine began 
whirring, the lights in the lab dimming as the huge amount of energy used by the 
machine was rerouted.  She smiled, watching the gauge in front of her.  75% of 
the speed of light.  80.  85.  90.
***
	Ten seconds until the machine reached full power.
***
	99.9% the speed of light.  She crossed her fingers.  The machine hummed 
continuously, filling the room with the noise.
***
	Three seconds.  Two, one.
***
	100.1% the speed of light.  Maria cheered, but stopped when she looked at 
the gauge.  500% the speed of light.  700%.  Something was terribly wrong.  She 
looked up to see the air twisting and bending, as if it was merely a piece of 
plastic wrap in space-time that was being twisted apart.  She saw a brief 
glimpse of a man in a white lab coat before the machine exploded.
***
	The lab was in ruins, and the cages of Pokemon had been destroyed.  One 
Pokemon had survived the explosion.  She didn't like humans, and wanted to never 
be caught again.  She had heard Professor Westwood's thoughts.  He had thought 
that the world he was connecting to would have no Pokeballs.  The little Abra 
floated over the fuzzy border between worlds.  No Pokeballs.  Freedom.  As she 
crossed the border, she felt herself change.  Her body became larger, changed 
shape.  As she touched down on the floor of the ruined laboratory, she muttered 
to herself, 
	"Kadabra."
***
	Dr. Kennedy lay dying on the floor of her lab, and she saw the creature 
emerge from the hole.  A memory touched her mind.  Long ago, she had been eight 
years old, and there had been a game, and a cartoon, but this couldn't be, it 
couldn't.  The creature looked sympathetically at her.
	"Dabra, ka-daka, abra," it stated, and its eyes glowed blue.  Dr. Kennedy 
felt her body healing, and then, she felt herself lifted from the rubble.  It 
couldn't be.  No, it couldn't.  But the evidence was saving her from the ruins 
of her lab.  Her mind did what it could to compensate.  It stepped out for a 
while, and she fainted.  And the Kadabra looked back over the border.  She 
closed her eyes, and sent a message, to all her fellow Pokemon.

	"There are no Pokeballs here, the people cannot capture us.    	Come 
here, and live in freedom."

And then she walked past the unconscious woman into the nearby woods.
