Ryo made a mental note to never let himself enter the Safari Zone again... Returning to the now rebuilt house of his, Ryo sat down and called up the Pidgey-mail system. After writing a brief message to Dreadite, just to let him know he was back in business back on the Island, the bird was off like a flaming comet...likely because Ryo's Arcanine nearly fried it. He sighed and leaned back in his chair, now beginning to wonder where his parents were. They were usually home around this time. He got up and began to look around the house, letting his various pokémon wander around the premesis. The house was spotless, moreso than the maid ever left it...again, strange, the maid wasn't around either... The living room was in perfect order, although the safe was unlocked and sitting on the coffee table. Ryo sat down and opened it. Inside lay a carefully folded note and a pokéball. Ryo opened the note carefully and began to read it: "Dear Son, In the case of your return, we have left you the house and lab, and have moved to an undisclosed location. The pokéball contains an Abra for you to begin to travel a bit easier. I'm truly sorry we were never there for you, Ryo. We have opened another research facilty in our new home, and your brother seems to be doing fine... (the rest of the note is all but illegible, stained by tears)" Ryo, fell backwards in his seat from shock. A Brother? He'd been an only child for as long as he could remember. What could be going on? In a stunned shock, he walked out of the house, followed only by his loyal Arcanine. Entering the Cloning Labs in a daze, he looks around at the various people gathered to have fossils rejuvinated, and pokémon cloned. He walked over to his desk and sat down... TBC... feel free to jump in Ryo Masaki
