Humphrey was surprised to see no reaction from the two. They just looked at him almost as though they were security guards in front of a dressing room of a rock star.
"You got some explaining you must do," said Humphrey walking towards them.
"I'm finding out the mystery of the island as well as you are," Meir answered.
Humphrey not only heard the words Meir said, he also came up with his own conclusion. "And once you got the info you probably spread it to the outside-"
"You're turning into an unfaithful creature!" shouted a voice.
Meir and Humphrey turned to the source of the voice, it was Mewtwo. He stood there, almost as though his was taking a stand. Humphrey was shocked, he's lost for words, a pokémon speaking english must the most terrifying experience of his life. It was almost he was about to die in front of them, but he just stood there with fear dropping down his trachea and oesophagus at a fast rate.
"Did you just talk?" Humphrey asked nervously. He was also frightened but trying to remain calm.
"Ever since I was created," Mewtwo said. He still remembered what that scientist said to him the moment he awoke.
"Listen Humphrey," said Meir. "I'm achieving the same goal as you are. But all you done is sneak behind people and see what they have behind that person's back."
Humphrey realized that they knew that he was following them the whole time. "You knew I was following you the whole time? How's that possible?"
"We saw your reflection on the glass in the labs."
Humphrey felt like a fool but it didn't stop him from explaining his distrust to Meir. "For once I acheived goals in my life and this one happens to be a once in a lifetime chance of solving a mystery we stubbled upon."
"You're just saying that because you want keep whatever it is you're searching for from others," Meir remarked.
Meir and Humphrey felt the heat around themselves, with Mewtwo caught in the conflict zone. He was about to feel the real sense of rage and maybe dissagreement. As the feud goes on he starts to feel the pressure.
"Ever since you found the items you suddenly become the leader of the gang," angered Meir.
Mewtwo fired a psychic attack in the middle of the floor near Humphrey. After what he did, he suddenly remembered what happened last time he left out a powerful attack. He fired a psychic blast towards Mew and Mew fired the same attack at the same time. Ash got caught in the crossfire costing his life. He was brought back to life thanks to the tears of pokémon including the clones. He now knows that it would not happen again if Humphrey turned to rock just like Ash. Humphrey was jaw-dropped after the ball of energy exploded near his legs. He couldn't think of any words after the attempted blasting.
Des sat in his hotel room scanning through files of Xaneuvox, what he came across was that the CEO was a former member of Team Rocket. After the person resigned due to creative differences, he told Giovanni that he'll be using his ideas for his new company and hopefully eliminate the competition. He thought of the time he met Nedermayer, Gail and another man named Osborne earlier. Osborne was similar to Nedermayer but more atlethic and less smarter.
They met Des near a man-made road, they were in a Range Rover. They invited him in and drove off. They had important information, Nedermayer spoke first. "Agent Flynn what you're about to hear may shock you."
Des listened carefully. Nedermayer handed him a folder. "We identified the inruders from every hidden security camera all over the island."
Des opened the folder it showed profiles of Humphrey, Logan, Meir and Cameron. The files included their acount numbers, dates of birth, mugshots etc. Des didn't express his true feelings which were shocked and appalled. He managed to keep a serious look on his face so they won't be suspicious. "How did they get to the island?"
"By boat," said Osborne. "We found the wreck near the shore. It exploded due to a problem with the motor engine."
"Which we had nothing to do with," informed Gail handing Des photos of the submerged boat.
Des wasn't expecting them not doing something like destroying a vehicle making the passengers jump ship, swim to the island and later get the axe one by one. "When did you discover it?"
"Just almost a day ago," replied Nedermayer. "Those people will sooner or later discover Xaneuvox' plans and will cause a travesty."
"Same goes with the others," added Osborne. "They may be under our control but they will break free and turn against us."
Thiswas the first time Osborne showed his intellectual side in a long time. He normally tells employees, agents and anybody working for Xaneuvox about the situation based on what he's been told or what he just saw. Des had some second thoughts. "This might be difficult since they treated me as a friend."
Nedermayer never thought this will be fustrating now after what Des did or what those befriended him did. "Now, they're your enemies."
The Range Rover stopped and Des stepped out. Gail gave him one last piece of information. "Make sure who you're working for. Double cross us and you'll get what coming to you."
"I'll make sure of it," confirmed Des.
Nedermayer slams the door shut and the Range Rover drove away leaving Des and the folder with him.
Des walked around the room holding a glass of scotch. He threw it to the ground hard. "Fuck!"
He walked around the place in frustration trying to decide whether to kill ther targets or not. He sat on the sofa and stared into space.
Humphrey walked in the forrest, he was stunned after he almost got hit by Mewtwo's attack. He doesn't know whether he should be angry or shocked. He walked around for 4 minutes, unknown to him somebody is watching him. He walked out of the forest into the village. The thought of seeing a pokémon speaking and understanding english still plagues his mind. He couldn't get rid of it and couldn't think of his physical surroundings. Just until he could try to think of something, he turned at a quick pace and spotted the person who was following him. A gunshot fired followed by a thud in the grass startled the forest. On a strange level none of the pokémon were affected by the noise either it didn't disturb their sleep or thought it's just animal sounds of creatures of the night.
