"Nice to meet you..." Her voice faded when she jumped down into the dark tunnel.
Joey made a little sound of distress and ran to the edge. There was sharp incline for several yards before the tunnel evened out. "I... I didn't think this would happen..."
Vivi stood at the bottom. "Come on!"
Margot thudded against the side of her Pokéball as she saw EV stir. She tried to say something, but it was hard to hear her from inside the ball.

Judis followed her down without a word, and Note jumped in after him. Tunes paused and looked back at Joey. "C-Can you tell me what happened?" she asked.
EV turned to her with a start. She slowly tried to get to her paws again and managed to work herself into a sitting position.

Joey looked regretfully at the trainer. It was hard to see his face, and the tunnel would get darker as they progressed. "It wasn't... I just..." He pet his whimsicott and looked down at the Pokémon. "Well, I saw her at the contest with that one Pokémon and then I won the contest, see?" He held up the ribbon, hoping not to be questioned further.
They electric Pokémon thudded against the side of the ball again, trying to say something more. "...Let us out!"
The houndoom turned to look into the room, it's ear pricking.

Tunes stared at him in the increasing darkness blankly. "I don't really... But where is Vivian?"
EV's eyes narrowed in irritation, but she was aware that they were being monitored so she didn't reply. She looked at the cage. There was no way she was going to get out of here by bending the bars, or even melting them without destroying everything. What am I going to do?

"She got kicked out of the contest because that-er Vivian was fighting with a jolteon. It was really cool!" He put a finger to twist a finger in his hair. "Everyone was talking about it. This scientist was asking people about it. He said it could be a be a new Pokémon and if someone sent him a picture of it they could be famous." Somehow, he felt safer in the complete dark where Note couldn't see him.
The Jolteon scrabbled at the side of her Pokéball.

In the dark Note stopped for a minute. Boiling anger rose in his chest at the boy's ignorance. His Vivian had been perfectly safe- she had gotten into trouble, but she wasn't hurt -and then this stupid kid gives her away to some goons!?
Sensing his trainer's anger Judis turned in the dark, whimpering quietly.
Tunes bit her lip. "O-Okay... Thanks for telling us," she murmured. "But in the future, you shouldn't believe people when they tell you things like that...
EV sighed and trned to the Houndoom. She narrowed her eyes and smirked. "Hey. Hey, Hothead. Comere."

"I didn't think they'd take her! I just-" His whimsicott made little whoosh noise as he walked into the wall of the cave. "Ow! Sorry Whimsy..." It was impossible to see in the dark.
Vivi circled back from where she had been. She could see, but she worried about the trainers in the dark.
The houndoom tilted his head, then glanced at his owner and the other grunt. He walked into the room. "What?"

Tunes flinched as the boy hit the wall. "Lemondrop... Can you help us out?" she murmured.
"Pikachu..." the tiny Pikachu murmured, climbing to the top of the girl's head. Her body began to produce a light electricity that illuminated the cave. Note did not turn to look at them or even speak. He was still way too mad.
"You always been a puppet?" she asked, her eyes glinting mischievously.

Joey lifted Whimsy to balance on his head, where she somehow seemed safer. "I... I really am sorry."
A look of anger came into its eyes. "I'm not a puppet. You have a trainer."

"I know you are, Joey," Tunes murmured sympathetically. She glanced ahead at her brother, who still showed no sign of hearing them.
"Bet you can't think without your trainer telling you what to do, can you?" EV sneered devilishly. "You even got a name, puppet?"

Joey looked ahead to Note, but couldn't think of anything more to say. The tunnel they were following split in several directions.
Vivian looked over to Judis expectantly.
"That's none of your business!" The dog Pokémon snapped.

Judis's nostrils flared as he tried to decipher which trail to take. After a moment he started down the right trail.
EV chuckled. "I bet you can't do a thing without your trainer telling you what to do."

The trainer followed in an awkard silence.
The houndoom bared his teeth. "I'll show you what I can do on my own!" Just as he said that the machine came to a rough stop and then there was the beeping like a truck backing up.. He stumbled, falling off his feet.
"Dumb houndoom." Alex said as he scrabbled out of her way. She rolled EV's cage out of the drilling machine.
"What about the others?"
Alex glanced at the pokeballs. "We can deal with those later. Just lock up thier trainer."

EV's eyes widened and she silently cursed her luck. Damn. Now what am I going to do? As she entered the darkness her eyes glowed red, and she looked around, trying to figure out where she was.

After walking for a while, they came to a closed circular door-no doubt for the machine. It was made of wiring like a fence,but with mush thicker wires. Vivi's claws scratched pointlessly, trying to get through. Joey looked down with the light from Lemondrop into a dark cavern. He didn't see EV, but the machine was on a platform several yards below them. "I think they're in that thing." Voices could be heard in a tunnel leading away from the cavern. Making much noise wasn't an option. "I have an idea..."
There were several twists and turns in the darkness before they came to a long hallway of dim lights. At the end were a pair of metal doors They stood there for a moment before the sliding metal doors opened, sending a wall of light falling down on Alex, EV, and the houndoom. Alex held up a hand to her eyes, cursing the sudden brightness. A scientist had opened the door from inside. She wheeled EV's cage in and pushed it against a wall. "I want you to begin testing immediantly."
The scientist nodded and knelt next to EV's cage. "What should I document it as?"
A pause. "Flareon: mutated. Until you discover anything otherwise."
"Better get some fire protection, then." The man left the room, stopping only in the doorway as another, younger man walked in. "Gather some samples and check its vitals while I'm gone, will you, Sherman? And be careful. It looks dangerous."
"Okay, Dr. Cherri." After Cherri had left the room, Sherman turned to Alex. "Dangerous as in?"
"I don't know. It has potential. Dangerous things always do."
"Well I guess that's... good." The young lab tech picked up a tool of the table, a long pair of tweezers and approached the cave.
