Note and Tunes looked at Joey expectantly.
EV let out a vicious snarl and a thick, suffocating black aura poured from her body. She bared her teeth at the tech, ready to fry him alive if he took a step nearer.

Joey looked nervously from Note to Tunes, feeling more comfortable addressing her instead. "Can I see Vivian's Pokéball?" Vivia looked up expetantly for a moment before looking back into the cabin when she realized he didn't mean her. He put his hand in a place in the fence-ish area where a Pokéball could fit through. "Whimsy can... uh." He looke up at the Whimsicott. "Show 'em, girl." The fluffy creature hopped from his head and squeezed effortlessly through the hole, holding onto his hand on the other side. "Maybe she could bring her up?"
He stumble backwards. "Why can't I get fireproof things?" He desperately wished he was higher rank right now.
Alex laughed. "I sure know how to pick'em, don't I?" She picked up a cord running from the cage and plugged it into the wall. A shock passed through EV's paws, paralyzing her.
Sherman could still feel the heat radiating off the Pokémon, but he was not to be deterred. He moved to the side of the cage and reached the tweazers through the barslie a game of operation, plucking a bit of hair off the mutant's flank.He quickly pulled back, bring the sample to the other side of the lab for analysis.

Tunes' eyes widened in admiration. "That's a really good idea!" she said excitedly. "Isn't it, Eli?"
She turned to her brother, who despite himself, had been watching the feat with a slight look of appreciation. He nodded wordlessly.
"I could help!" Judis yipped, bouncing on his paws enthusiastically. He pulled on Note's pant leg and then scratched at the fence, willing his trainer to do the same thing for him.
Note thought about if for a minute. While the Whimsicott was good at squeezing into tight places, he didn't think that it would have any muscle or sense of direction. Judis might be helpful. And it wouldn't be hard to just stick his hand through the bars and let the puppy Pokémon out on the other end. He turned to Joey. "I think Judis could help your Whimsicott."
With a pained cry EV collapsed to the ground. Though she could not move she continued to glare venomously at the humans.

"Oh, okay." Joey was just glad that Note didn't sem as angry at him now. Vivian looked at the space helplessly. She could never fit and her Pokéball was with Karla, if not already taken somewhere else.
Whimsy let out a small noise of delight. "Oh! A friend!" It was already clutching onto EV's Pokéball as it waited.
Joey bit his lip. The creature loved to cause mischief, but the fact that it had already taken the Pokéball wasn't going to help Note see Joey as a good person.
"I don't know how he expects me to work with-" Sherman stopped as th scientist returned in a flame retardant suit.
"Have you gotten everything? Oh, it's not hooked up to a monitor yet. Get things going, boy." He lifted the top off of the cave and pulled the incapacitated Pokémon out by her scruff. "Heavy isn't she?" He huffed. "I assume we'll need contraints.We have everything covered here, you can leave, Alex."
"Alright, alright. I know how you are with your work. I'll chack back in a little while." She left the door and headed back down the twisting hallway she had come.

Note withdrew Judis, put his ball between the bars, and then released him again. The puppy Pokémon wiggled excitedly, looking around and then turning to Note as he started to speak.
"Listen, Judis. Find Vivian. Stay out of trouble. Got it?"
Judis dipped his head obediantly and turned, putting his nose to the ground. "Come on!" he said, starting off.
EV glared bitterly at the scientist as she tried desperately to move. He was hurting her neck by holding her by her scruff, and she wanted nothing more than to bite his hand clean off...

The little puff Pokémon put the pokeballs into its cottony fur and held onto Judis's neck to be carried wherever he went, but something caught its attention. "Static! That way!" It poked one of his ears and pointed at the machine.
Cherri EV on the table, holding her paws in place as a metal cuff clicked in place around them. He tapped at her large claws. "We should take these off, or they might fly off and break something durring the scan. Get that blood sample, already."
Sherman nodded as he felt her shoulder for a good vein. "Should we put her out for that?"
"What, the scan? Unless she's an electric type, there's no need. Just monitor her vitals."

Judis' head cocked in the direction Whimsy indicated, and he turned, racing off in that direction.

The door into the machine wasn't shut tightly, but Whimsy had to drop the pokeballs in her fluff in order to squeeze through. She looked around the machine, seeing the source was an agitated Margot. Her Pokéball was hot from the energy she was making.
Whimsy pulled on the handle and the machine's door slowly swung open. The trainers could see all this going on from where they were. "Maybe Karla's down there?" But the whimsicott emerged with only the pokeballs. She couldn't move very much carrying the things.
The two scientists continued with the research: took blood pressure and samples, put the Pokémon in a white machine that made continuous whirring noise, and attatching several monitors.
"Interesting how much trauma evidence it has." Cherri ran a finger just above EV's eye, feeling the ends of the scars. "It's a bit faulty, but we should be able to fix that in time. I do wonder, however, if this has somehing to do with its abilities."
"Should I be writing this down?" Sherman asked. He had been recording EV's appearance as the doctor dictated.
"Yes, write it down!" He tapped his finger on the table next to EV's head. "All of this is important. I will be the one reading these notes later and I want to be able to realize my previous train of thought. Compare this creature's condition to that of a slowpoke or slowking's. Perhaps the scars are neessary for its power."

"I can carry some," Judis offered when he saw the Whimsicott struggling. He picked up some of the pokeballs as they dripped. He could fit about three in his mouth.

"Thankus!" The Pokémon said pleasantly, now that the pokeballs in her fur weren't completely eighing her down. She grabbed onto Judis's neck again. "Go on now!"
Sherman felt a the black tip of EV ear. "Is that really possible?"
"We'll find out at some point- It is our job, after all." He ran his hand down EV's spine, stopping momentarily. He moved his hand to her bad shoulder. "Hm."
"What?"
"Bring up the scanned images." He looked at the pictures. "Ah, that's right. The shoulder. It shouldn't be too much of a problem. Beside that, the creature is in perfect health now. I'd like to test it."
"Doctor Cherri aren't we supposed to fill out a form for-"
"It will be fine, I can fix any damage it takes before that becomes a problem."

Judis took off toward the fence again. When he reached the other side he dropped the pokeballs that were in his mouth and sat down, awaiting orders.
Note knelt to get a better look at the Pokémon. When he saw that none of them were Vivian, he frowned. But he couldn't say he was shocked. He didn't expect Vivian to be the only Pokémon taken.
As the scientists touched her injured shoulder she stiffened slightly and tried to move, but all she cold muster was a slight twitch of her paw.

Whimsy took a look at the collection and picked up one, tapping it to Vivi's head. She was immediantly returned. The fluffball giggled at the correct guess."
"So that one was Karla's..." Joey looked at them all. "Should we send them out on thier own further?" He looked at his whimsicott, who was playing with Vivi's Pokéball, carefree.
"Bring her to the first testing area and release her. We'll keep her monitored. If it gets out of hand, we'll call it off."
"Okay, Doctor..." Sherman removed several things that had ben attatched to EV and lifted her carefuly off the table.
"Hurry up, now." Cherri was leaving the room already.
"R-right." He placed EV into the cage and pushed it out through a door into a wide, rocky area with tall stone pillars. High above were bright lights. It resembled a battle arena. He opened the cage. Dr. Cherri's voice came over a loudspeaker. "You have about ten seconds before it can move again." Sherman straightened up with a start, and jogged out of the room, closing the door behind him.
The scientist reached an observation deck, high above EV in the arena. "Now, my dugtrio." Dr. Cherri said as he entered.
"I thought that dugtrio is the science team's..."
"Just release the thing." He said in an exasperated way.
"Actually it was taken out of holding for a specific project."
"What? Without my permission? I thought I said-"
"Doctor..."
"Right, right. My second preference then."

"Do you think they could lead us to their trainer?" Tunes mused, looking down at the tiny Pokémon inside the red and white balls.
Judis lowered himself to the ground and peered into Margot's Pokéball. "Do you know where your trainer is?" he asked.
As the paralysis wore off EV slowly got to her paws, wobbling a bit as she came to. She shook her head and looked around, immediately trying to find a way to escape.

"I think they could. Better yet... Whimsy, look for a switch or something to open this. Be careful it isn't-" The whimsicott seemed to be done listening already and floated down into the cavern again. "W-wait..."
"No, but I would it that rat had listened to me!" The jolteon shot back at the growlithe. "Stupid, ugly..." She was uttering a string of curses.
There was a low rumble from the ground beneath her, but it soon subsided, a bit like a passing train.
"Ah, this isn't very interesting at all. This is why I prefer dugtrio. I did most of its training, after all."

Judis jumped in surprise at the Jolteon's harshness. "Er.... Are you talking about Vivian?" He tilted his head to one side, a rather lost look on his innocent face.
EV started moving through the room, limping on her left shoulder as she always did as she tried to find a way out of the room. Suddenly she stopped and looked down at her paws. The absence of her metal claws immediately infuriated her. "Oh, you bastards! she roared, stomping on paw on the stone floor. She started moving again, driven by a new determination. "I swear to Arceus, when I get out of here..."
