A message had been sent to the Carter boy to meet the one called Pandora in the city of Rustboro and bring the stone and ring. There the message would direct him to a building in the southern most corner of the city. Inside the building would resemble that of a typical office layout but with an alarming lack of life.

Regardless, the directions said to enter a room with the designation of 5B. Once inside the rocket would be greeted to the icy stare of a Gardevoir whom which stood at the other end of a long wooden table. Laid on the said table would be a laptop with nothing more than a smiley face on the screen.

The camera of said device was on which allowed for Professor Dumont to watch Sam despite his inability to see her. ”Ah you made it safe and sound! Wonderful!” Her voice would break through the awkward silence she was sure would arise between the man and the Gardevoir.

”Sorry that I had to make your way all the way to this building, had to make sure you weren’t being followed.” Most likely unknown to the other rocket Eva had sent her Ariados to track the man, placing a strand of silk on him to follow his path.

The bug kept its distance while also making sure no one else followed him. Any foul play and this meeting would be going in a drastically different direction. The Ariados previously mentioned crawled into the room, racing across the room to the other side where the Gardevoir stood.

”Alright my Gardevoir here will take you to the lab, just grab on to her.” She failed to mention that the Gardevoir would be using teleport and that might be a bit disorientating but Carter was a big boy he’d be alright. And Artemis would not be gentle about it at all.

As soon as there would be contact the psychic type would use Teleport, whisking the human and the Ariados away to their destination. They’d be brought to a long hallway, the Gardevoir would lead the way down the hallway and through the double doors which would open to the larger lab area.

Eva’s Pokémon was scattered about, each one having their own task to complete for the scientist. Sam would be stopped from looking around or moving by Eva’s Incineroar blocking his path. The fire-type Pokémon pointed to a sign labeled “All personnel must be decontaminated”.

”Thank you Ifrit but I don’t think our guest here wants to be flung into the decontamination chamber. Though I’m going to need you to jump in there before we can get down to business but first!” The Pokémon growled lowly in response to his master’s words, annoyance clear on his face.

Eva rolled over to Sam, jumping out of her seat and completely igorning whatever sort of sense of personal space the man might have. ”So you brought it right?! The key to furthering evolution?!”
