Accidental Video

[the_original_clone]

(A video feed starts out showing a dark room with several high tech machines lying around. Looking directly at the camera seems to be some kind of armor creature that is obviously not human. The camera seems to move but the armored figure doesn't move at all.)

What is this? Are these Psyducks? Why would Giovanni have something like this on one of his laptops?

Must be something in your world, then. All I get in tall grass here is attacked by monsters. And the vast majority of them aren't intelligent or friendly.

My name's Rita. I'm a researcher... I think "scientist" is the popular term. Specifically, I study magic and blastia.

(Mewtwo's eyes narrow at that.)

A 'scientist'? Great, just what I needed to run into.

[blahblahblah]

What? It's not like I'm going to do anything to you, except maybe help you, if something happens and I can actually do something about it.

Did something bad happen before that makes you hate scientists or something?

[the_original_clone]

I'm sure that is true, human.

(That line holds a lot of venom.)

Yes. Something did happen. I was nearly turned into a lab rat.

[blahblahblah]

Okay, that's... bad, I agree, and I'm sorry that it happened. As a scientist, I don't agree with experimenting on living things. But anyway, that doesn't mean all humans are bad people! I mean, I'm not going to bother arguing my own innocence, we'd be here all day. But there are good people in this world! In any world I... it's unfair to brand us all as villains because of a few people!

(Mewtwo scoffs.)

Maybe there might be some small portion of humans that are decent but the majority is not. In this world I have yet to meet one decent human. I even distrust the one I am partnered with at the moment, though the partnership is only out of necessity.

[The girl frowns; what else can she say to that?]

I hope you can find someone reasonable, then. You sound like you need it, sooner rather than later. I hope you can come to, if not like humans, at least tolerate us.

[the_original_clone]

We'll see about that.

I'll see if you are worthy of earning that right human. If you can prove that you are someone trustworthy I may consider it...Maybe.
