      “ OH! Look at YOU...Awake. ”

      There’s a low chuckle that emitted from the scientist’s throat. Now, now, why would he possibly do this? Catch a little rat and her fire bird, contain one, contain the other...Separate and suppressed, with the air within Hilda’s ‘cage’ being far more constricting. As if the oxygen were less, as if one were climbing a grand mountain without a respirator.

      The cage--if one could even call it that--that held Hilda was more like an aquarium, glass--or what resembled it--surrounding her and giving her enough space to believe it similar in size to a room, but nothing more. There didn’t seem to even be doors, or any way to enter or exit.

      “ Are you afraid? ”

      A smile spread over the man’s face as he looked down at the young lady. Now, Unova was a curious thing. It’s interest came in the multitude of signals that seemed to light it up on their radars. Life, likely from it’s plentiful amount of legends and myths. Some of which were still managing to avoid Flare’s capture. That victini, ah what an annoying creature, specifically was giving them quite the trouble. Yet it wouldn’t be long, all else would accept their position in this little hierarchy. 

      They belonged in the lab, strung up and taken apart, their innerworkings studied for all they could give. Make them more useful than they could ever be out and free.

      “ My dear, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
