"Huh? Oh, yeah, they exist. At least, they're rumored to, but almost no one's ever seen one." "What about Mewtwo?" "Mewtwo? Oh, right, the clone. He's dead...at least, he was seen to die, and his body was dissected. The body was stolen, though. Someone might have revived him, but if they did, they've kept it quiet." "Seth no happen to know outcome of Elite Four matches for next 20 or so years?" Seth grinned. "I wish. But, sorry, no instant wealth by betting on a known thing...even if we could be sure I'm from *this* world's future, and not some alternate reality." "Oh, well. Worth try. So...Seth have any idea where or when Aerie landed?" "None. She's probably somewhere around here. I'm no expert on temporal theory, but I heard a bit about Professor Oak's time experiments. The machine only varied its destination by a few hours on each run. No matter if she got here before me or after me, Aerie will be here by now. Problem is, 'here' could be just about anywhere on the Pokemon Islands." "Mimic see." "So, where do you suggest we start looking? You know this time better than I." "What would Seth do if in Seth's time?" "Use Team Rocket's spy satellite to look for any energy emissions matching the ones Professor Oak's experiments put out. Two problems: first, I don't know the exact emission spectrum; I'd search Oak's public database to find that. Second, the satellite won't be launched for about 15 years." "Is problem." "No kidding, 'is problem'. What'd you do before that when you wanted to find something big and flashy...say, the coke bottle? I know it was discovered around now." "Just...find." "'Just find'? Mimic, that thing's visible for MILES! Or, it was in my time, at least, but I think the forest around it was cleared over the years." "Right now, no can see coke bottle more than one mile away, unless in air. Not that much taller than trees. Mimic hear friend of Giovanni stumble across it." Seth sweatdropped. "Anyway, should probably check major cities first. If Aerie still as confused as you were, someone may take her to city to recover. Officer Jenny in each city probably know if Aerie present as person; Nurse Joy if Aerie present as pokemon." "Hmm...ok..." "Mimic know! Oak come up with machine, maybe Oak can scan for machine's signature." "Mimic, Professor Oak won't come up with it for years!" "Yes, but Oak probably know basics. If describe device, maybe Oak deduce what to scan for. Idea germinate in Oak's head for long time, until Oak invent machine based off what we tell." "You know, that might just work. But, let's ask the Joys and Jennys first. The phone has been invented, right? So they can call each other?" "Phone invented, yes." "Great. So, the train station should be right over..." "Train, no. Or, at least, not *built*, not here." "What? Then, how do people get around?" "Walk, usually, or pay for ferry - boat or pokemon - over water. Rich have bikes. Trainers fly on pokemon." Seth let out a sigh. "Great. Looks like we're walking. You wouldn't happen to know where the police station is, would you?" "Why no ask Officer Jenny?" "The one at the police station?" "No." Mimic pointed back towards the party. "The one who having fun right now." TBC?
