Description

Two months ago an Alakazam that had been mistreated at a travelling circus, lost control. It tore apart the arena but thankfully was returned back into its Pokeball before anyone was hurt.

The Pokemon was seized and transferred to the ‘National Rehabilitation Sanctuary’ in Western Kanto. Here a number of species that are deemed unfit for release are cared for and given a new lease on life with over 500 square acres to explore.

Many ‘trade evolved’ Pokemon are deemed unfit for wild release as they don’t have a natural place in the echo system and are often rejected by members of their own kind.

Trade evolution was discovered many years ago when matter transference technology was originally invented. The process somehow triggers primal recessive genes in their DNA that forces them to evolve into an untapped evolutionary state. Some scientists theorize that these Pokemon could once naturally evolve into these forms but for some reason lost the ability.

I had asked one of the researchers, Lorna, if I could come and check up on the Alakazam and see how it was getting on.

I was lead through the lush forest until we came to a clearing. She stopped and told me to be quiet as she took out two large pomegranates. She threw one into a bush and whistled. 

The bush rustled and she whistled again. She threw the second Pomegranate and something amazing happened… it began to float in mid air.

The Alakazam emerged from the bush holding the first fruit in its hand.

Lorna explained that it had settled in nicely but didn't wander far from where it was first released. They quickly discovered that its favourite food was Pomegranate, so she made an effort to bring it some each day. At first, it was scared of humans, but over time it had warmed to her and probably for the first time in its life, was at peace.

Here is my final Alakazam image that is featured in my last feature video on my Youtube channel!

Oh I definitely love this concept. Realistic enough to seem like something irl without being incredibly creepy. The worldbuilding part is specially good, and your theory makes me think of neoteny in axolotls. Perhaps not evolving is a result of neoteny as it was more advantageous to stay in these evolutionary lines unless certain reactions happen.

As a psychic Pokémon trainer it hurts my heart to hear of any Pokémon to be treated like this.

No I didn't expect an entire backstory theorizing trade evolutions and all. XD

Very well done. I do love the trade evolution explanation. That always bugged me as to why that was a thing, it's game gimmick but even in the few times they do it in the show they don't really explain how or why.

The explanation of how trade evolutions work is an interesting bit of lore.
