Among the many rooms in the third level of Blackstone Labs – accessible only to those who have reached Tier III clearance in the M.A.G.M.A Division or higher – there happens to be a small greenhouse. Here is where some of the few crystablooms in the division’s possession are kept. Most have been transplanted from the wild, for growing new ones still proves to be a challenge that many scientists continue to attempt to find a solution for.
[break][break]
That is not what Ceri is here for today.
[break][break]
Calmly and carefully, she tends to the flowers, the expertise in her every movement coming from a lifetime spent caring for flowers. It’s not the sort of knowledge she puts to use too often these days, but crystabloom research and experimentation has created a need for such skills of hers.
[break][break]
Nestled among the crystablooms is a small incubator with a single egg. The egg is the reason why she’s here today.
[break][break]
It’s also the reason why she had asked BARNABY FINCH to stop by and to bring with him the Ninetales that Enamorus had blessed for him.

"Well this is an interesting spot,"

Barnaby strode through the greenhouse doors with his head on a swivel, looking from crystabloom to crystabloom with an inquisitive eye. "I had no idea we were cultivating these."

Beside him Bijou sauntered forward, elongating her stride so that she was the first to make it to Ceri Glynn. The NINETALES refrained from touching the familiar scientist, but did offer her an acknowledging yawn.

Eventually Barnaby caught up to the pair and questioned, "So what's the plan for today?"

By the time Bee arrives with his Ninetales, Ceri finds herself holding her usual tablet. Precise devices laid out all over the greenhouse measure the state of the crystablooms, and it’s on the screen she looks at that all such data is displayed.
[break][break]
”Just in time!” She greets both the executive and his fox with a smile. Naturally, she had made sure to take her strongest allergy medicine today as well – not like it’ll completely stop her from sneezing, but at least it’s something.
[break][break]
In response to his question, she pats the incubator. ”This!”
[break][break]
It doesn’t make for much of an explanation, but she grabs the device (egg and all) and starts walking.
[break][break]
”Come on! We wouldn’t wanna hurt the crystablooms.”

"... This?"

Just as soon as he'd arrived they were already leaving the humid, crystabloom-filled greenhouse behind. Barnaby stepped aside to let Ceri pass, while sparing an inquisitive glance to the egg within the incubator.

How long had it been within the greenhouse, surrounded by the mysterious blooms that had once sprouted all throughout Hoenn? More importantly, why had it been here, of all places?

Barnaby had questions, of course, but figured everything would be revealed to him in due time. So, he followed behind the researcher, Bijou in tow.

”Yup!” She guides him through the greenhouse, out of it, and then through the corridors of the third floor, and while she does as much, she explains their goal:
[break][break]
”I’ve been experimenting with ways to possibly replicate the results from “the Hatchery”. Hatching abnormal pokémon and so on? I figured they may have done something to the eggs when incubating them so that the pokémon mutate during fetal development, since there’s no record of any pokémon being born with the same abnormalities out of the Hatchery, you know?… This one has been exposed to the Infinity Energy emanated by crystablooms for a while now.”
[break][break]
It’s not the only egg on which she has done this sort of experiment, but there’s no need to tell Bee that much.
[break][break]
They reach one of the secure and empty rooms reserved for experiments involving extremely dangerous pokémon and moves.
[break][break]
”I want you to use Springtide Storm on it!” She beams. ”...Without breaking it, of course.”

As they walked and talked, Barnaby made it a point to listen intently as Ceri explained her ongoing experiment. Her
speculation seemed straightforward enough - add Infinity Energy to an egg and see what happens.

"Makes sense to me! To think Infinity Energy would have that much of an effect, though..." If it was powerful enough to mutate a Pokémon fetus, what effect could it have on humans exposed long-term? Elisabeth Fiorelli momentarily came to mind, but his attention quickly returned to Ceri as they reached their final destination.

"Really?" His gaze lowered to Bijou, who currently appeared indifferent towards the pair of humans. "You heard her, love. Try your best."

The NINETALES flicked an ear toward her owner, eyed Ceri Glynn and the incubator she held, before unfurling her tails and languidly stretching out her body. With another yawn she then walked toward the reinforced door of the testing chamber, indicating she was ready to begin the experiment.

Having tested SPRINGTIDE STORM enough times to be more than familiar with its strength and energy output, Ceri had ensured that the incubator would be able to both withstand the attack and protect the egg from it, all while exposing it to its energy just as it had done with the crystablooms.
[break][break]
She doesn’t bother with telling Bee all this, though – mostly because she already bombards him with enough information as is.
[break][break]
As such, the incubator is set down, and stepping away to a safe distance, Ceri inputs a few commands into the tablet she had brought with her.
[break][break]
”Alrighty! Ready whenever you are!”
[break][break]
Internally, she hopes the incubator doesn’t break.

Barnaby hadn't bothered following Ceri into the testing chamber itself; rather, he opted for going into the adjacent observation room where he could grab the best seat for the show. Who knew what would happen, after all? Perhaps the egg would hatch into something truly spectacular? A marvel of modern science could be moments away from appearing.

Or a horrible monstrosity. Best to be safe behind reinforced glass.

So! The ROCKET executive therefore kicked back into the centermost chair and waited for Ceri to give the all-clear. Upon hearing it, he nodded for Bijou to begin.

Seeing her owner give his assent, the NINETALES wasted no time in revealing the mysterious power she had been gifted within the Fleur Tea Atelier. Shimmering pink petals began to materialize around the room en masse, swirling throughout the space with a peculiar energy. Within seconds of being released they began to twist and direct themselves toward the incubator in particular, showering the machine in waves of undulating blades.

Bijou would persist in her attack until told to stop.

Disappointing as Bee may perhaps find it to be, Ceri doesn’t really expect anything particularly flashy to happen – other than the move itself, that is. What they’re doing is undeniably amazing, and it’s through thermal imaging that she can see how the egg’s heat signature changes when struck by the SPRINGTIDE STORM, yet, to the naked eye, nothing out of the ordinary happens.
[break][break]
The egg incubation period is far from over, after all.
[break][break]
The goal here is to expose it to as much energy as is possible overtime without killing the pokémon within it in the process. For all she knows, something perfectly normal may hatch, but there’s always the possibility that it might be different. She has to try.
[break][break]
”Mmm… Think we’re good here! Thanks for the help, Bee! Same time next week?”
[break][break]
Some experiments can take quite some time, after all.

How anticlimatic.

Perhaps this disappointment on Barnaby's part could have been avoided if Ceri had been more forthcoming about her intentions. If she hadn't expected something extraordinary to happen, why hadn't she spoken up sooner? Sure, he could have asked... but still!

With a heavy sigh Barnaby rose from his seat and made his way into the testing chamber to collect Bijou. The NINETALES immediately trotted over to his side, being sure to nudge her snout into his palm for compensatory pets.

"Anytime, Ceri." He said, waving over his shoulder as he made to exit. "See you next week!"
