She looks back down at the geneticly created pokémon and smiles serenely. She sits down on the surface of the tube base and lifts Mewthree's head onto her lap. She starts to stroke his face, feeling the thousands of silk smooth dark gray hairs that cover his body, and waits for him to awake.
A little while later, he does wake up. Fairly groggy and some blurred vision are side effects of the deep sleep; he looks up, finding a female human face look down at him. "D-Diane?" he says in a daze, "Is that... you?" "Yes," she replies, "It is me." She continues to stroke his face, making his whole body quiver with sudden overwhelming joy.
"How can it be that..."
"I don't know. But you musn't dwell on the past.... you might end up doing something drastic in the end."
He smiles in happiness for the first time in a long time, "You do not know why I was created?"
"No... do you?"
"I haven't got the slightest idea either."
She gazes into his crimson eyes, "You are more adorable than you were before."
"That is strange way to describe me..."
"You are special. Do not forget that. No matter what other people say, you are special... unique..."
"Diane..." he says in a sudden seriousness "I... have something to tell you..."
"What is it?"
"I was... I mean... I have... killed alot of people for the past few days... human and pokémon alike..."
"What?"
"Even... your father."
"You killed my father?"
".... I didn't know what else to do... I was furious about the results of his experiment on me..." he lied, he had actually meant to kill Kemdra Gemfk, but he couldn't tell that to Diane.
"And you killed him because of rage?"
"You can call it that..."
"What else did you do?"
"I.... destroyed... our home..."
"Saffron City?"
"Yes..."
"Why destroy the whole city?"
"If I didn't eliminate the whole city, the humans would've been after me... I couldn't let that happen, so I killed all in the city."
"You've changed from being the innocent thing you used to be to a heartless killer."
"If I am so heartless, why did I come here then?"
"I... don't know."
"I came here to see you, of course. I've missed you so much. I've always wanted to see you again..."
An hour passes, Mewthree tells Diane of the events of his whole life, telling her of the human self he had before.
"Can't you change into your human form?" she asks with sudden urgency, as if she wanted to see him as a human rather than himself.
"Yes, but..." he says reluctantly, "... why would you want to see my human self and not me?"
"I am a human. If you were to be seen with me in your current form, the Kanto officials would know something was up and they would seperate you from me again."
"That's a good point..." he thinks for a while to choose if he should change into human form and slip into a state of ephemeral humanity, ".... If it is for you; I will do it, Diane."
"Good!" she says in personal excitement
He stands up and backs away from Diane. She watches anxiously.
He closes his eyes tightly and concentrates hard, trying to remember how he looked when he was human for fifteen years of his life. He gets the mental picture and starts to perfectly transform slowly.
He shrouds himself in a red aura to start the transformation. The blades on his tail slowly shrink, his tail shortens and disappears altogether, the crests around his eyes shorten and go into his head, the twin neck-tubes seep into his neck, his head shrinks into that of a young man's, his skin turns a flesh tone, his body shrinks to 5'5 ½", he sprouts long black hair from out of his scalp; his arms, hands, legs, and feet turn to a normal human size and normal finger and toe count.
She stares at him, amazed at his transformation. He winces in pain after the transformation and falls to the cold, hard metal floor. Instantly plunging into darkness soon after.

"What the hell?!" Kentra Farrunner yells upon seeing his hometown, Saffron City, in a burning mess, "What happened?!". Still mad that he lost to that Kien asshole in the Pokémon League in the Final Battle, ruining his winning streak; his anger multiplies as he sees the ruins. Sabrina pokes her head out of the cave and spots Kentra. "Kentra!" she yells and runs out of the cave.
"Huh?" he glances in her general direction, "Is that voice.... Sabrina's?!"
"Kentra!" she repeats, tears forming in her eyes, throwing herself at him
"Sabrina... what's wrong?"
"Can't you tell?"
"I know... Saffron is gone... as are my parents. Who did this?"
"Someone..." she intentionally does not mention Mewthree's name, ".... did this..."
"But who?"
She does not answer this, "Cousin Kentra... please, come into the cave behind me. It is nice and warm inside, plus there are two... uh.... entities that I would like you to meet."
"Entities?"
"Just follow me, okay? I'll explain later."
"Alright..."

Mewthree wakes up on the floor, he stands up. "I just can't go out in public like this, Diane." Mewthree says with his human mouth, "Humans do not accept people who walk around nude.". "I know that," she says casually, "Just follow me into a bedroom so you can get something to wear."
"You're not going to try anything, are you?"
"Not at all... I'll let you decide when you want to do something close with me." She walks up the stairs leading up into the house, "Well? You coming?"
"Yes... I guess so."
They walk through the mansion into a bedroom. He spots some clothes that would work, all black clothing; black jacket, black gloves (he still had some indication of his true self), black shirt, black pants, and black boots. He notices a chain that looks like the one that the men had put on him when he was young. He takes it, putting it on soon after.
They leave the mansion grounds without any complications at all, towards the closest city, Celadon City.
