"Willowyn, It's time to leave for the evening. Don't forget to log todays results."

"Yes Professor Hawthorn."

She spared a glance at the subjects, the people whose lives she had ruined. Twenty-six tanks stood alongside the wall. Most of them empty. So many lives lost to them trying to be gods. Trying to be Mew, creating new lifeforms. She stared at the tanks. "I hope you can save us. Because I know that we can't. I just hope that whoever is up there has mercy on us for our crimes."

Log entry 10, Professor Willowyn Willow

Remaining subjects: 3, Designations D, O, V

Subjects Status, Designation D: The subject's development has ceased to be measurable. Due to this, we have decided to eliminate the rare candy infusions. Subject is expected to have expired by next log.

Subjects Status, Designation O: Subject is beginning to manifest mental activity into the physical world. The physical transformation has also been completed and there have been small movements while in the tank. It is our belief that the subject is ready to be awoken. As such, we have begun administering the antidote to the sleeping serum. We can only hope that the subject reacts positively to its awakening.

Subjects Status, Designation V: We have made a breakthrough with subject V. By administering a nutrition formula with a different balance we have been able to increase the condition of the subject to a more healthy state. However, we do not expect the subject to reach its intended size. There is some evidence in powerful empath abilities, these may explain some of the feeling of euphoria around the lab. Overall, the subject is expected to survive the procedures. There is a deformity in the form of a second tail. We will investigate the effects this might have on the subject. We will soon begin to awaken the subject.

Conclusion: The project seems to be a resounding success. Subject O and Subject V both seem to be healthy and show the beginnings of the desired power. There are some small worries that Subject O might be aggressive when it awakens, but we have learned from Dr. Fuji's mistake. Subject V seems to be much calmer and I believe that its powers as an empath will cause it to realize we mean no harm. If all goes well, the next report on the subjects will be us presenting them in person.

Ariana was one of the few who truly knew Lilith. The Demon, the firebrand. One of the three survivors from the gene war. She thought she would never fight again. She had prayed that Lilith would never need to contact her again. To meet with her, let alone request the monster that was her Absol, was a warning to dark times. She had half a mind to leave, but that would only make it worse for her.

She gazed up towards the volcano, searching the sky for Lilith. If she was lucky, she had flown in on her Charizard. If not, then she just hoped it wasn't her Flygon. The dragon had the worst temper last time she met it and she didn't want to see if that was the same. Just as was about to look away, she saw it. A small green speck on the horizon, flying towards her.

Lilith's Flygon landed right in front of Ariana, causing her to jump back as it growled at her.

Ariana looked at her old friend. She was wearing dark jeans and a light blue blouse with her old pink jacket over it. Smirking she greeted her old friend. "Wow, look at you. You have a kid and you still can't get rid of that old jacket. I'm surprised that it hasn't been worn out by now. So what do you need Absol for anyways? I fairly certain that most anything you could encounter would get crushed by your Flygon."

Lilith got a dangerous look in her eyes. "I need Absol because I'm going on a hunt. I still need to go ask the third member of my team to see if she will rejoin me."

"The third… You mean Moltres. The legend you harnessed to raze Celedon city to the ground. The phoenix immortal. That Moltres?! What could you need that kind of power for?"

"Someone kidnapped my son. I think it might have been Domino. That is the reason I need the power. I am tempted to get Lorelei and Lieutenant Surge to join me on the hunt."

Ariana gasped in surprise. "Domino kidnapped your son. No, no, please no."

Lilith narrowed her eyes. "What is it? What do you know?"

Ariana shuddered and then answered, "Team Rocket has been kidnapping people for… experimentation. Most of them are already dead. Only three of the captured subjects are still alive. And one is not long for this world."

Lilith reached out and grabbed her, flames dancing in her eyes. "Tell me where the new base is!"

"I haven't been there, but I heard it's in Fuchsia city. Somewhere in the Safari zone."

Lilith dropped her and climbed aboard her Flygon. She looked back at her friend. "Thank you."

Just as she took off she saw something flying at her. A Pokeball. Ariana smirked at her. "You almost forgot."

As she caught it,she smirked and continued off into the night sky. "No, my problem is I never forget."
