Vivianne frowned. [color=lightsteelblue]"Well, I heard about Gyarados going into a rage in Johto one time - more of a rage than usual. Turned out to be linked to Team Rocket. Some kind of forced evolution project. Like that was going to go unnoticed."[/color] Studying artificial and altered Pokemon meant inevitably hearing about the darker side of science - and she couldn't ignore these teams anyway, what with the attempted takeover of Silph Co way back. [color=lightsteelblue]"Now, Aerodactyl can't evolve, but it can mega evolve. If I can find that old report about the Gyarados, it could reveal similarities."[/color]

She thought back to another story. [color=lightsteelblue]"Also, there was this whole fiasco with a genetically engineered Pokemon in Kanto. Mewtwo. Broke out of a lab and caused all kinds of chaos. There are rumours that Team Rocket's leader had something to do with the experiment."[/color]

Her cool blue gaze remained on Oscar. [color=lightsteelblue]"There really do seem to be patterns everywhere. I was going to go to Hoenn, and according to its history, apparently someone once had the bright idea of stirring up two legendary Pokemon there."[/color] She shook her head. [color=lightsteelblue]"There's just no avoiding human stupidity..."[/color]

By her side, the Porygon Z twitched.

[color=lightsteelblue]"Hm? What's wrong, Pixel?"[/color] Vivianne checked her phone to make sure it hadn't been damaged, then looked back up at the two trainers in front of her. [color=lightsteelblue]"Are all your electronics ok? Pixel gets like this around malfunctioning technology."[/color]

The next moment, an almighty draconic roar from outside filled the air, most likely disrupting every Zen practice in progress. Raising an eyebrow, Vivianne glanced in the direction of the sound. [color=lightsteelblue]"So much for peaceful..."[/color]

[color=orchid]"Someone mentioned the Mewtwo story the other day,"[/color] Sophia told Vivianne. She'd been too tired to remember all the details, but it hadn't been the first time she'd heard of Mew, an ancient being that supposedly had the DNA of all Pokemon. That pink Pokemon she'd seen - she couldn't be sure, but it had fit the description.

Before she could mention the attacker's pursuit of it, a roar caused her to whirl round. [color=orchid]"What was that?!"[/color] Glancing at the window, she quickly pulled back at the sight of an all-too-familiar face. [color=orchid]"Uh..."[/color] Stepping to the side to keep out of Hammer's view, she turned towards Oscar. [color=orchid]"We might want to wait just a little longer before we go outside. N-not that I have any reason to be afraid, of course... It's just there's no way we'll get a break."[/color]

At least someone was out there dealing with that brute of a detective. Someone Sophia was sure she recognised... Realisation hit. Was that the woman from the poster in Windshire Pokemon centre?
