"allow me to introduce to you a stowaway."

the pokemon remained staring at the television. "others would call it a potential breakthrough that could lead to the understanding of man and pokemon." those of the science community would practically want to probe the thing. "its been kept confidential for the time being until we've learned all we need to." zenji, smiling, couldn't take his eye off of it. "to actually view it in person..." it was hard to believe the pokemon that sparked zenji's passion to become the researcher that he is today stood, or rather hovered, right before him.

"to be honest with you i can't exactly bring myself to do any testing on it, who would've thought that was possible?" hindered by the very thing that made him who he is. somehow, somewhere, this was sort of poetic no? "it tagged along with me when we were on the mountain. i can't exactly explain it, but..." he'd look to fernando, "i think we were transferred to a different time period."

zenji would set his tea down. "groudon's awakening must have triggered some sort of temporal rift." he'd shake his head, "i don't know but..." he wondered aloud, "...what sort of precaution should we take? could mew being in our present world be some sort of omen to another incoming disaster?" the scientist wondered.

evan would bring the silph president his drink.

FERNANDO SILPH

"never a dull moment in hoenn."

another sip was taken. "either way, mew isn't exactly what i expected. i mean..." zenji watched the mew remain lost in reverie, "...i can't make out much about the pokemon. and i've done extensive research on it." there were different ideas and theories on the mythical pokemon. "some say it served as a messenger of gods blessing; others saw it as a bringer of the dark apocalypse." turning back toward FERNANDO SILPH. zenji would begin to prattle on about the many folktales surrounding the pokemon.

"but one common idea was that it served as the parent of all pokemon. i can't exactly confirm nor deny this until i've obtained a sample from it. i just have to make sure it's under...proper circumstances." there was a tone of slight hesitance and a look of concern within zenji's expression. "mew hasn't been full on cooperative. it's like a child, whimsical and incalculable. it's very playful, but helped us with groudon's defeat." how could something so childlike and helpful be seen as a bad sign to the end of times?

there was a lot to learn from the mew. "so far the only thing i could do was keep it calm and subdued from picking things up or turning invisible was by turning on the television." it seemed to have an interest in pokemon battles.

suddenly the mew would avert its attention from the television and toward the pair together. it would fly over to hover before the former councilman and began to stare and examine FERNANDO SILPH from head to toe. it would even take a sudden sniff. "well this is new."

FERNANDO SILPH

"at the moment it's yet to do much of anything. for now we're waiting."

but zenji did have an alternative motive for calling FERNANDO SILPH here. he wanted to see how the pokemon would interact with an avatar. "i plan to start running some tests on mew once it has become more settled in." afterwards, he'd ask, "out of curiosity do you have your bonded pokemon with you?" he spoke of the tapu fini. or, rather, any pokemon really.

"i won't lie and say that i didn't have ulterior motives inviting you here." he'd look over to evan, "start the preparations for me." evan would be on his way. "how about a battle? i think mew may be interested." if he was up for the challenge. "this will be good data for me."

FERNANDO SILPH

"gathering?" what an ominous statement. "i suppose even mythos pokemon have their own reasons." for now he would leave the topic alone.

"the silvally..." that's right, he hadn't seen the curious being in quite sometime. "the battle facility recently opened. so we can take the fight there." fernando probably had not been there in sometime. "the equipment has been updated and more fit to handle rougher battles." he recalled a destructive Bailey Cooper using it once upon. and then there was another, but he couldn't exactly remember their name. only that they were a dragon tamer.

"mew's been sneaking off to watch pokemon battles." how did he know this? don't ask. "so i think its become a bit interested with joining one. i think it sees pokemon battles as a form of entertainment. which, to be fair, it wouldn't be wrong." but zenji would assume that is more intrigued by something else when it came to pokemon battles.

"we can head over now."
