The complex on Pokemon Island was mostly a research center, and some of it involved the rarest of Pokemon, such as Mew and the legendary birds. After checking on the tied up research staff in one of the storage rooms, she walked into the large and sterile looking main lab. "Hmm..." Rifling through various folders, she scanned everything. Then she finally found what she was looking for. She unclipped a small blurry picture of Mew from a file. "There's the little rat....somewhere on this island." Her brow furrowed as she crushed the photo in hand. "I'll hunt you down..." Just then she heard a strange hum in the corner of the room. Curiously, she dropped the destroyed picture and made her way across the lab. "Who's there?" A tiny ball of blue light formed in the corner of the room. As she watched, her eyes wide with wonder, the light grew larger and brighter, casting a glow around the lab. "What is this..?" Maria reached her hands around the light. Then there was a tremendous flash almost like the universe being reborn in miniature. The Rocket gave a startled gasp and drew back. For a moment she believed she'd gone blind, but after a few minutes of rapid blinking and rubbing at her eyes, her vision slowly returned. Looking down at where the light had been, she now found a Ditto instead. She blinked some more. A blue Ditto. "It's not my eyes....must be another one of the weird Pokemon around." Carefully, she picked it up. It had been unconscious, but it slowly awoke in her arms. "Dit...to?" Slasher peered down at it from her shoulder. "Meowth?" "Ditto?" It looked back at them blankly. "Ditto?" "Well, I guess a Ditto isn't such a bad find. Too bad you weren't a Mew though. But then you wouldn't like that, since I'd try to destroy you." "Dit....to...Ditto..." It wobbled around in confusion. "What are you looking for? Oh....all those researchers are little tied up right now. But don't worry, you'll like it with me." She reached for a Pokeball, only to find she'd used her last one for the green Ekans. "Drat....well, you won't run, will you?" "Ditto?" "Uh, nevermind." She tucked the Ditto into one of her inner pockets, where it promptly seemed to fall asleep. Maria grinned at her catch and started back towards the lobby. TBC? (notes: No, that isn't Mimic or Doppler, just to avoid any possible confusion. Also, no one touch it, I just want it to use in a story later on.
