Anima Ex Machina is an ongoing Pokémon fanfiction written by JX Valentine (alias Jax Malcolm). While apparently serious on the surface, its main goal is, as the author herself puts it, "to read like a cheesy, B-rated sci-fi movie." Probably while hitting every trope on the way down.The story focuses on Bill, a young but absurdly unlucky Pokémon researcher (and noticeably the author's favorite character in the franchise) who has been recruited onto a top-secret government project to study an alien Pokémon. However, by the end of the first chapter, he's kidnapped by Team Rocket and forced to become the host of the aforementioned Pokémon, which transforms him into a human-alien hybrid. After a series of rather unfortunate events, he finds himself in Hoenn, dragged into a war between human survivors (most of whom want him dead) and the hostile alien Pokémon (who just want to hurt him… a lot). In the meantime, Team Rocket wants to add him to their Pokémon army, a mysterious organization known as the Committee plots to use him as a guinea pig, and his own father manipulates the strings in the background for his own as-of-yet-unknown agenda. Oh, and the parasite sharing his body is not only sentient but also a calculating sociopath who prefers withholding as much information from its host as sanely possible. Yes, Bill's life pretty much sucks.So far, the fanfiction spans over thirty chapters of one book (eighteen in an earlier discontinued version), with a second book mentioned to eventually exist. The majority of the most current version of the fic can be read on a smattering of different forums and outlets, but the most reliable updates tend to be on the author's own website and Serebii.net.

"It" Is Dehumanizing
 Anima Ex Machina (Fanfic) / int_16ad6f7f
comment
"It" Is Dehumanizing: Several characters initially refer to Bill in his Ixodida form as an it, largely because Ixodida are generally seen as inhuman, sociopathic monsters. The characters that call him by the correct pronoun are the ones who see him for who he is. Meanwhile, Adam is always referred to as an it (except when referred to by other characters) to invoke this trope for the readers.

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Bill dislikes fighting and spends a large amount of time actively seeking alternative ways of getting out of fights without seriously injuring or killing his opponent. In fact, all of the times "he" has killed someone, it's actually been Adam. However, with his recent training and with events gearing up for a showdown between the main characters and the empress, it's difficult to say whether or not Bill will be teetering into Reluctant Warrior territory after all.

Out of Focus
 Anima Ex Machina (Fanfic) / int_32da91b8
comment
Out of Focus: There are actually four different plots going on at once. The main one obviously focuses on Bill, but the other three involve Team Rocket's plans to capture an Ixodida in order to form an unstoppable army, the mysterious Committee's observations on the Ixodida, and most recently, John's activities in Polaris and his resistance to Team Rocket. Typically, the fic goes for four chapters without focusing on any of the other three, so characters like John, the Committee members, and Ariana are shoved off to the side in favor of characters like Bill and Lanette. This is also used to prevent the reader from seeing everything that goes on in the other three plots.

To Know Him, I Must Become Him
 Anima Ex Machina (Fanfic) / int_4ae13674
comment
To Know Him, I Must Become Him: Played with. One of the more obvious examples is an aversion. Adam mentions that Bill's research methods is to don costumes and become a Pokémon mentally, but Bill refuses to emulate an Ixodida despite his situation being like wearing a costume full-time. The less obvious example is the fact that Adam, in its downtime, reads Bill's memories and reconstructs events in his life to better understand his motives and habits.

Body Horror: The earliest chapters delighted in this, including a dream sequence that had Bill watch himself transform into an Ixodida. This involved describing his innards liquefying and his skin falling off in great detail. It tones down in later chapters. Sort of. Until we see it happen again to Brigette in chapter 25.

We Used to Be Friends: The source of Bill's angst over Lanette's hostility towards him. It takes six chapters for her to treat him as if he's not a complete monster, much less like he's her best friend. And then it takes two more for them to take a step backwards.

comment
Not Using the "Z" Word: The story is about an alien zombie apocalypse, but the fic itself goes out of its way to avoid mentioning either. The zombie part is justified due to Our Zombies Are Different, but the part about aliens happens for literally no apparent reason, especially given the fact that the characters are aware of the Ixodida's extraterrestrial origins.

comment
Viewers Are Geniuses: The fic was explicitly written with this in mind. As such, it's overloaded with geek culture, including not only references to sci-fi/fantasy film, television, literature, and video games but also references to everything from classic literature to Mesopotamian mythology. There is literally no chapter that doesn't have at least one reference to an outside source, and the author frequently dares readers to find them all. This is because while it reads like a serious dark fic on the surface, in reality, it's actually a very subtle Take That! to B-rated sci-fi film and the Pokémorph fanfiction genre. In fact, this entire page was created to challenge readers to find and catalogue as many of them as possible.

Cannot Spit It Out: Bill and Lanette's relationship is practically based on this. It doesn't help that Lanette treats Bill the way she does because she's afraid of having to kill someone she cares about, and Bill routinely announces that he cares about her as a friend because he's an idiot when it comes to interpersonal relationships.

He Knows Too Much: This is how the plot actually starts. Specifically, Team Rocket infiltrates Polaris Institute in an attempt to steal data and obtain samples of both the Ixodida parasite and a parasite-host hybrid. In the process, three agents capture a random scientist (who happens to be Bill) in order to create the latter. Although Domino realizes that Bill is one of the people she was ordered not to touch, she reasons that he would talk and has him infected anyway.

comment
Puppeteer Parasite: The actual body of the Ixodida are their parasitic cores; the rest is the mutated form of the human host. This is why an Ixodida can't be killed unless the core is destroyed. An Ixodida can theoretically regenerate any body part its host lost – except the head – because all of the body parts still attached to the core is considered to be alive. In most cases, the host's mind is suppressed to let the Ixodida take over, but there are exceptions known as rogues, who maintain their human minds for one reason or another. The hero is a rogue himself, although his parasitic alien sidekick has a tendency to take over whenever it pleases.

Out-of-Character Alert: In chapter 18, the moment that sparked the fight between Adam and Lanette (and subsequently Adam's "interest" in her) is the fact that it saved her from Ixodida while pretending to be Bill. The only reason why she knew it wasn't him was because "Bill" was actually willing to fight at all.

Psychic Powers: From what Lanette has to say, it's heavily implied that all Ixodida have some level of this towards each other, and it's explicitly stated that Ixodida parasites are psychically linked to their hosts, allowing the two to communicate with each other. The empress herself apparently has clairvoyance.

Crazy Enough to Work: During a battle against a Fire-type in chapter 27, Bill realizes he has a massive type disadvantage, so he decides to try the most logical solution he can think of at the time: cut off his opponent's oxygen supply by taking the battle to higher altitudes and thinner air. Although this means he cuts off his own oxygen supply, his plan did exactly what it was meant to do, and had he been faster (and aware of the fact that Prometheus could still attack him regardless), he would have actually won. Wordof God has already promised that we can expect more of this from Bill throughout the rest of the fic, given the nature of his talents in the first place.

Ascended Extra: The entire cast. Even the move tutor in Pokémon Crystal is given a major role in this fic. As an in-universe example, Thom and Ellen received brief mentions in the original version of the fic before dying, but both become side characters in the current version, simply because the author liked them enough. Also Lanette, who went from support to practically the Lancer.

Humanity Is Infectious: Adam began the fic as a cold-hearted sociopath who maintained a distant relationship with its host and only seemed interested in survival. Over time (and after spending weeks in Bill's head), it evolves into a deadpan snarker with some semblance of emotion, the ability to feel genuine concern for its host's well-being, and an insatiable curiosity towards humanity.

comment
The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Naturally. Bill is able to keep a decent level of control over himself (with the explanation being he likens his situation to the costumes he wears for research purposes), but the longer he stays an Ixodida, the more frequently he slips up, like enjoying eating raw Pokémon meat a little too much, obeying a trainer's every command without the least bit of resistance, or growling like an animal when he's frustrated. It comes to a head at the end of chapter twenty-seven, in which he's driven by starvation and instincts to attack Steven, Vito, Lanette, and their Pokémon.

Training from Hell: A lot of Bill's training falls under two categories.

The second involves Adam crawling into his brain to "teach" him how to use his powers.

Oh, My Gods!: Whenever a character says something similar to "oh God" or "For God's sake," the word "god" is always plural. Justified in that most people in the fic's world are polytheistic.

A Dog Named "Dog": This is apparently one of the few fics in which trainers don't give nicknames to their Pokémon (to match canon). Unfortunately, this has led to the author having to explain on more than one occasion why she capitalizes words like Spinda and Chansey at some points but not at others.

Undying Loyalty: Lanette beats Bill with a crowbar, sentences him to exile, locks him in Mauville Gym (handcuffed to a metal bar while refusing to give him the key), and sedates him to prevent him from attempting to escape so the Caravan can leave him behind. What's Bill's response once he breaks out? Go save her from the incoming Ixodida. Even when he breaks down and chews her out on her cruelty towards him, it's clear he has no intention of leaving her, despite having the option to do so.

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Averted. For a fanfiction with geniuses and scientists running around, no one seems to bother breaking out a thesaurus.

Alien Invasion: The entire plot centers around the invasion of the Ixodida (aka XP-650) of Hoenn… and only Hoenn.

Murder Is the Best Solution: No, Lanette, there really are better ways of dealing with the fact that your ex-partner lost control over the alien parasite inside him and attempted to maim everyone within arm's reach. Really.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Most of the humans in Hoenn at first. Apparently, humanity's stance on protecting themselves involves pulling a xenocide on a new Pokémon species.

comment
Theme Naming: All Ixodida are named after first humans or characters in mythology or religion associated with early humanity. Justified in that all of their names are codenames. Also, the Joys and Jennies are generally named after characters in science-fiction/superhero media. This version of the fic has Ellen Joy and Veronica Jenny, but past versions also had a Pepper Jenny.
