Well, you know what they say about mouths and gift horses, presumably.

[Still looking over the fossil.]

You'll have a bit of a journey to get this cloned, but I imagine if you spin it properly the team may pay for it, at least.

[wait wat] Heh-

...Wait what? Cloning??

[Explain!!]

Mhm, these fossils tend to contain preserved genetic material of Pokémon. There's a facility in- Pewter City, I believe? -that can extract it and create a living clone of the original specimen.

Hehhhhh, seriously...

...mnnnh, I think I saw Pewter on the..Kanto map? ...I wanted to get through the map here first, but maybe after...

[Can't be that hard to get there right?] I feel like this is how we got that one dinosaur movie, somehow...

[She can't recall the name. It's probably Not jurrasic whatever though.]

Mesozoic Park? I believe it's the same basic premise, but much more accelerated.

Possibly due to more advanced technology, possibly due to Pokémon physiology.

I feel like it was a different name, but that could be localization...

[Or. Dimensions, but hey.] Maybe both? I mean, I have a ghost that keeps using my pokegear to try and send messages, and in my first month here I found something that turns into anything.

The book was better, but the effects were impressive.

[Probably both, honestly.]

Oh, really? Do you have it on you?

Mnh? The rotom or the ditto?

'Gear' is in my dorm right now... ...Ditto's just in the PC, I could log in from here probably.

The Ditto, if it's all right.

[She sets the fossil down carefully and slides over to a PC, powering it up.]

I've got a Rotom myself. Very useful, but I've been keeping it away from the lab equipment just to be safe.

Oh! Sure! [Alright, let's just get on in there...] Honestly I feel sort of bad for the little guy, I caught them but didn't really feel like they'd be good on the team...

That's probably a good idea with your rotom though; they're really tricky! I got lucky with Gear, they're at least a little responsible...ahhh...here!

[Ok, out comes the Ditto pokeball!] Ahhh...where's the best spot to let them out...

Hm, they're not that large, are they?

[Just a foot or two tall, she thinks?]

Not initially! I'm pretty sure they can copy any size perfectly though...

Hmmm...this table maybe? [It seems empty, but she's gotta ask, because...something something contaminants in a lab.]

One moment.

[She's just gonna grab a spray bottle of disinfectant and some paper towels and wipe down that table quick.]

That should do nicely.

[And tugging on some latex gloves because science..?]

Mmmmhmm! Okay!

Out you come..! [And out comes...Ditto!]

Dii!

[Gelatinous and friendly as ever.]

Fascinating. Hello there!

[Just kind of squatting a little to get on eye level with the Ditto, as you do. She gives it an exploratory poke.]

Carly says you can transform into just about anything, could you do that for us? Just pick something small around the lab and change.

Ditto di-?

[Just something in the room? Well, that's relatively easy! Hmmm....

Ditto becomes...The PC monitor!]

Oooo!

Hm.

[She considers this for a moment.]

I'm just going to try something-

[And just- does the DittoMonitor have all the right cords and stuff? Cause if so she's going to try plugging it into the PC and see if it actually works.]

[The result is instantaneous.

Mostly because, to the surprise of perhaps no one, a ditto cannot completely mimic the functions of a PC monitor cable.]

DI!! [Ditto is ditto again, and also part of ditto's 'arm' seems to be awkwardly against the PC.]

Mnnnnh, I guess they have limits somewhere in the end...
