Sparky took a trip to Paldea, and wandered into Area Zero. He used his aura to connect with some of the crystals, and was rushed with the terastal energy. He was close enough to *Spoilered out* at the bottom of the crater, that it affected him, causing the terastal energy to alter him, rather than terastalizing him. His form quickly began changing, to reflect the distant future of his species, turning him into an Iron Hound. He howled in delight, as it felt amazing, as the "metal" began to take over, quickly submitting to his new programming. The changes finished, and he inspected his body, noting he was now a shiny. Before he could comment, his feelers twitched, as he connected to the other Iron Hounds. They communicated the hound's mission to collect aura samples and data to record, and plant in a specific location for later on. Sparky then asked what happens afterwards, and was told there were no further orders. He considered whether or not he wanted to obey, but the more he thought about his orders the more excited he became, and the more his tail wagged. Barking happily, he joined the network, unable to resist. He can think about turning back into an electric Lucario after his prime directive is fulfilled. He must reunite with his unit and sync up his gathered data. He's a good dog~ A good scout unit~
