    Nico frowned.  "So the procedure is entirely safe?"  She asked.  It was the third time she'd asked in the past hour.  She was dressed in her usual gym leaderly outfit, her Houndoom at her side, both looking more than a little anxious.
    The scientist sighed.  "Yes, Miss Belorini, surely you've seen other pokemorphs walking around?"  He asked, tinkering with the genetic fusion chamber.  They'd been developed after Bill had had his unfortunate accident at the Sea Cottage back in Kanto, after which other scientists had investigated the potential of the "teleporters".  Now they'd been developed to the point where they could fuse living beings flawlessly without risking turning them into abominations against Arceus.
    "Yes, of course I have, but they're not me."  Nico said, gesturing at the two chambers.  "You've checked them over?  No short circuiting coils?  No misaligned software?  No leftover data from the previous fusion that will leave me hilariously fused with a Blissey?"  She asked, stepping forward with each accusatory sentence until she was almost nose to nose with the scientist.
    The man gulped.  "Look, Miss Belorini, if you're so nervous about the procedure, why are you going through with it?"  He asked, scurrying back a few steps away from the intimidating gym leader.  "It's not exactly mandatory for remaining a gym leader, unless I've been misinformed?"
    Nico sighed.  "No, it isn't."  She rubbed the spot between her eyes on the bridge of her nose with her index finger.  "But I...I want to try it.  A couple of the other gym leaders did it and they won't stop raving about how much their connection to their pokemon has improved."  She gestured towards the chamber.  "So you just take some essence from Grim and then infuse it into me?  It won't...destroy him or anything?"  She put a protective hand on the dark/fire dog's head.
    The scientist nodded, opening up the right hand pod.  "We've made enormous steps in conservation of material since..."
    Nico shuddered.  "You make it sound so cold and clinical."  She gestured and her houndoom hopped into the pod.  "Just be quiet and start the procedure."  The scientist tapped a button on a computer pad and the pod vibrated and hummed, a bar on the computer slowly filling up. 
    The pod finally stopped vibrating and then it opened, releasing the dazed looking hellhound pokemon.  Nico immediately recalled him into his pokeball.  "Does he need anything in particular to recover from that?"  She asked.  "Vitamins?  Sleep outside the pokeball?  A night at the pokemon center?"
    The scientist stroked his chin.  "Just put some protein in his food and he should be fine."  He assured the anxious looking gym leader.  "Now, climb into the other pod and I'll infuse you with the Houndoom DNA.  You'll be a pokemorph before you know it."
    Nico opened her mouth like she was going to ask a question, but then shut it and stepped into the pod.  It was dark and cold inside, until it started to vibrate.  Then hot lights came up and focused their beams on her.  She shuddered as she felt her body tingle, then tingle more intensely, to the point where it almost hurt.  She gritted her teeth, looking down.  Her eyes widened as she saw black fur starting to spread across her skin.  Short black fur that shone in the intense glare from the...whatever they were.
    She watched in astonishment as her clothes started to strain.  Was she getting...bigger?  She felt a bit bigger and from the way her shirt was now clinging to her chest in a way it never had before, she certainly seemed like it.  She was distracted from that by a pressure in her skull.  She reached up to feel and was poked in the hand by one of her growing horns, which were curling out of her skull. 
    Her feet were starting to feel uncomfortable in her shoes, so she kicked them off, revealing that her feet had morphed into paws.  She felt pressure again, this time just above her expanded rear as her tail snaked out, the spike at the tip rubbing against the back of the pod before she pulled it around so she could feel it.  It was soft and warm, with just a bit of hardness at the tip, enough to poke, but not to break skin.
    The final changes kicked in as she felt intense pressure on her face, which expanded into a demi-muzzle, her nose condensing into a black dot.  Suddenly she could smell everything much more clearly.  Then the lights shut off abruptly, leaving her in total darkness for a moment.  Well, it should've been total darkness.  But something had been done to her eyes as well and she could see things clearer in the dark than she ever had before.
    The door opened up and she automatically stepped out.  The scientist wordlessly lead her over to a full length mirror, where she admired herself.  She was significantly curvier than she'd been before she went in, she was pleased to note.  Her new coat of fur was shiny and she intended to keep it that way.  She posed, admiring herself, before turning to the scientist.  "This is fabulous."  She said, noting that her voice was a little deeper.  Was that because her donor had been male, or just because Houndooms had deep voices?  "I guess I had nothing to worry about after all."
    The scientist smiled.  "I told you."  He replied confidently.  "It's a simple procedure.  We can even revert you, if you get tired of that form."  He held out a pill bottle.  "Take these once a day until they're gone.  Just to make sure your body doesn't reject the foreign DNA."
    Nico took the bottle and grinned.  "Oh, I am going to enjoy this."  She said, sticking the pills in her bag before sauntering out, tail swinging.  Behind her, back on the machine, there was a small crackle from a coil as it burned out.
My half of an art trade with :iconivanksmw:.  Take a look at his piece here: :thumb674296942:

Decided to leave things open for a follow up at the end, for things to go wrong.
