Finally....

How long had it been since he had began this journey, this search, and now he was one step closer to it all. Of course he would be supervised, but he didn't care, he had brought a few pieces of his own equipment because he wasn't sure what all they had at this area. The original meteorite, the one that cracked open like an egg, and released the strange psychic pokemon that he had learned about so long ago. Finally he was here, finally he could take one step closer to his goals. After the Sootopolis event, and the Maldacena event Amor had gained an interesting ally. Already his partnership to her was paying off as she was giving him access to one of the things that he desired the most.

So he walked up to the designated area where she was waiting for him. Walter was behind him, and there was a Metagross levitating the equipment with psychic. It was one of three that he had, but very few people ever saw it out, since it was one of his Lab Pokemon, and it defended it from intruders. Among the Metagross was a Porygon Z, and within his watch was his Rotom. The important ones were with him today, and he still had three balls on his belt for defense incase something horrible happened, but with this place being relatively incident free, and under League control. He doubted he had to worry, but he had learned to be prepared for any eventuality. At least to the best of his ability.

"Miss Anderson, it is good to see you again. I brought some equipment, it is of course ready to be inspected if that is required, I just wasn't sure what was already here." He'd say to her with an easy smile. Of course if it needed to be inspected he wouldn't mind, he had no mind to shred his ties to her yet.

If she was trying to suck up to him to keep on his good side, it was working. Trusting him enough to not do anything heinous, or bring any shifty equipment with them, he admired that she was going so far to keep her word to him. Even as they approached the meteorite all the other scientists seemed to have vanished at their approach, and he was going to be left along with the object of his desire after so long. While others had already gathered a head start on him he would not remain behind them for long. They had how long to study this marvel, and what progress had they made in finding the creature that emerged? Amor would change that, and he could barely contain his excitement as they got close to the specimen.

"I thank you for allowing this, and facilitating it. It is good to know there are those within the League that can keep their word." Headway towards a stable relationship between the two had been made. Thus that meant she was at least somewhat of an ally.

Walking up to the meteorite he just looked at it, and walked around it. If this was the original where that creature had emerged from then this would give him the best information possible. While Mossdeep had specimens, they would never compete with the original.

"Ms. Anderson, tell me what do you know about this meteorite?" He asked her as he motioned for Walter to walk up to him, and the butler produced a pair of white rubber gloves that were skin tight. Putting them on, with his butler following suit he ran his fingers across it's surface as he waited for her answer. It was of great interest to him how much she knew, and if they were going to work together, they would need to share information to some extent.

Amor took out an instrument, she may not know what it was, but it was a modified Radiation Dosimeter. Amor had brought it in the hopes that something might be lingering within the rock, no matter how faint. However as he walked around it would read cold, and he just sighed a little. Putting it back into his case, the Metagross with him would psychically plant his microscope for him, and he would begin to look at the rock. Trying to find anything, any trace of the creature that he had found out about from Athena (Yui Fujin Silph). But he was already feeling like his search was fruitless. That didn't mean he couldn't figure something out, after all this wasn't the first meteor phenomenon to happen to this region. He doubted it would be the last. Whatever he could learn today could potentially help him out in the future.

"Supposedly as far as the rumors go. When this rock landed, some kind of creature emerged, and used a very powerful Psychic attack. It killed someone before it rushed off never to be seen again." He said to her with a hint of wonder in his voice as he peered into the depths of the meteors micro-ecosystem. Though so far he hadn't found anything unique, again he gave a sigh. "Whether the creature is a Pokemon, or not is unknown. At least it was when I first found out about it, but for something to be that powerful after crash landing. Would be a pretty big boon to the one who managed to snare it." He said with a chuckle as thought about some way that he could use to track the creature.

"I had thought to try, and use the radiation from the rock to track the creature, but it is giving off no such readings anymore. Which means that cosmic radiation doesn't have a very long lifespan. At least not where this creature is concerned." Another dead end concerning this creature, but he would come back to study it everyday if he had to, in order to find it's secrets. Or had the League already captured it, and that was why they were so willing to keep there bargain with him now? That was just his paranoia speaking now.

He let the silence fill the air as he looked over the rock still beneath his microscope. Amor was in full on science nerd mode, and no one would take this from him.

Elinor Anderson

Her thinking wasn't wrong, but that wasn't necessarily the case especially if such a creature was further evolved than they were, and if it came from the stars there was a good chance it was. If it could handle the atmosphere, crash landing, the immense pressure, and heat, along with an all consuming vacuum. He shook his head at her assessment.

"No I don't think that would be quite right, but that does beg the question. What if it brought pathogens from wherever it came from?" Amor hadn't thought about that. He frowned for a moment. "This thing I doubt would be affected by the common flu, but that doesn't mean it can't infect the populace of Hoenn with a disease that itself has brought." He looked at the rock with far more curiosity now than he had before. "Has anyone tried to cultivate any microorganisms that may have traveled along with this rock?" Though it had been out here for so long, that meant anyone that had any contact with it could have contaminated it.

Aside from the scientists he didn't know if anyone else had contact with this thing. He had never thought to look at anomalies of the health, far to concerned was he with other things. A single lapse of judgement, and he looked at Elinor like he could kiss her in that moment. Amor walked over to the bag immediately, and brought out three petri dishes. There were cotton swaps at the ready, and his hands were already gloved. What a fascinating science experiment this could prove to be.

"You're a genius Ms. Anderson." He said with a chuckle as he began to swap the outside of the rock first, and then swap the gel like substance within the petri dishes before transferring them over, and grabbing three more dishes, and three more swabs. He had swabbed the exterior, and so now he would do the same with the interior. Hoping that it wasn't as contaminated with their worlds bacteria as the outside undoubtedly would be. He swabbed it with three seperate ones, and then placed those samples in three dishes as well.

The rock was just that, it was just a hunk of rock. No radiation, no glowing, and not even a single trace, or clue of the creature that had left it behind. However there was an entire ecosystem on the microscopic scale that he could explore. Storing those three petri dishes along the others after he had labeled them with the letters "M.I.". One path had been blocked before them, but another had opened up potentially, and even if that one closed he would simply open up another path if that is what it took.

"I'm going to take these bacterium samples back to my lab, and study them. Since it's not the meteor itself this is not breaking any agreement with the League correct?" He spoke to her. She for the moment was the spokesperson of the league for him. Whatever she said he would abide by.

Elinor Anderson

He would nod to her as she agreed, and he made sure that the samples themselves were properly ported, and that none of them broke.

"Of course I see no reason to deny such a request, unless something drastic happens." He chuckled a little bit before looking back at the useless hunk of rock that had been there for them all to study. "Just to save you all time, and resources. Let your superiors know that the rock is worthless. There is no radiation, the bacteria so far that I have seen at least on the surface is no different than what you would see anywhere else. Though upon my further study it could change. However the rock is just a rock now, whatever it was holding left nothing behind seemingly." He said with a frown, disappointed that he had been forced to wait so long for absolutely nothing.

"Regardless my work is done, unless something happens that I didn't foresee I probably won't need to see the meteor again, but I presume you'll let me know of any potential changes should any occur." He was trusting her of course, and she had given him no doubt so far to not.
