Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Chapter 2: Settling in
Olivia walked Jekyll through KoniKoni Town and to Olivia's Jewelry shop. Jekyll looked around the small store, such fine jewelry and all, but he needed a place to conduct his studies. Olivia walked him upstairs As they walked up Jekyll bumped into a rather big Nosepass in the hallway. Jekyll fell back, causing Olivia to laugh. "Well, you can't seem to stay on your feet can you Henry?" She said, lending a hand to help the conflicted scientist.
"It's fine, just never seen a Nosepass up close.. I've studied them during my travels when making a serum, but never up close." Jekyll said, over looking the Nosepass. Olivia opened a door to the far right, by a window at the end of the hall. Jekyll entered the room; it was small, but friendly. Jekyll placed his bags on the bed, seeing a vanity mirror across the room, he sighed when he knew 'You Know Who' would want to talk. Olivia looked around. "Like it?" She asked.
"It is pleasant, would suffice as a living space as well as a work space. I do hope you allow me to endure in my scientific research." Jekyll asked her. The Kahuna smiled brightly.
"Of course! I would be delighted to have you do your science stuff here. What kinda stuff did you do again?" She asked. Jekyll looked hesitant.
"I studied all kinds of things, Biology, Pokèology, Physiology and a great many more. I studied all forms of science, bit I preferred the extra psychological understanding. The thinking of the mind and the two sides of the human brain." Jekyll explained. Olivia stared oddly at him as he put his things down on the bed.
"What two sides of the human brain?" Olivia asked. Jekyll smiled brightly, opening one of his cases.
"The two sides of the human brain; good and evil." He told her.
"Good and evil?" She asked once more.
Jekyll pulled out a small vile of blue liquid. "The human brain holds two personalities; good being the you that you and everyone is accustomed too, and evil being the side that is held deep down in you.. Locked away deep inside you never to be let out." He glanced at the vile in the sunlight, "For if that side was to ever be let out.. You may regret ever discovering it." He set the vile on the vanity. Olivia marveled at his lecture, and then wondered what the vile was.
"Not to sound dumb Dr. Jekyll, but… What's in that bottle?" She looked at the vile as if it was the reason Jekyll was on the run. His smile of science turned into a frown of despair.
"It was the fruits of my research, the results of me looking into the two sides of the human brain.. And is the reason I was forced to leave Kalos." Jekyll looked into the vanity, seeing not himself, but Hyde, waving. Olivia nodded in what she thought was understanding. She soon left the room to attend to her shop. Jekyll approached the mirror in distain, "And what is it you want now?"
"Awww, not happy to see me?" Hyde laughed. Jekyll clinched a fist.
"Leave. I'm done with you, so go away." Jekyll ordered.
Hyde glared, "That little tart is quit the piece of work ain't she? Nice backside she's got." Hyde laughed once more. Jekyll slammed his hands on the table.
"Enough!" Jekyll yelled to Hyde. "You are done! Olivia is a nice woman, and if you so much as lie a grimy hand on her I swear I'll destroy the vile that created you." Jekyll threatened.
Hyde leaned in closer, "You don't have the guts. Henry."
Jekyll saw Hyde disappear into his reflection. He knew that as long as Hyde was around, Olivia and the rest of Alola wasn't safe.
