JN133: Difference between revisions

Once the mobile laboratory has landed, Amaranth tells the Chasers to keep in touch with him and sends them out on their mission. When they enter the jungle, Goh activates a [[JN032|sensor device of his own design]], which has now been upgraded by Professor Amaranth. He explains that it picks up nearby Psychic energy and transmits it to the lab, where it's compared to the wavelength of the energy produced by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, which Goh encountered [[JN046|a while back]] on [[Cero Island]] and has a wavelength identical to Mew's. [[Horace]] is amazed that something Goh built is being used by Project Mew, but Goh says it's just his field of expertise, just like how Danika specializes in {{wp|molecular biology}} and geology, and how [[Quillon]] is an expert in studying ecosystems where Pokémon live in harsh conditions untouched by [[human]]s. {{Gary}} asks if they'll attempt to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} Mew if they find it, but Quillon, being his usual stoic self, doesn't respond, so Horace repeats the question to Goh. While unsure how he'd act in the heat of the moment, Goh is still pretty certain that he'd want to catch it. Horace starts pondering the possibility that, like how {{pkmn|Trainer}}s choose which Pokémon they want to catch, Pokémon could also be choosing which Trainer they want to be the one to catch them. While he's not denying the possibility of the idea, Gary calls Horace out for romanticizing and chuckles at Goh's suggestion of Mew having [[JN001|appeared before him]] because it wants him to be the one to catch it.

Finally, the Chasers arrive at the foot of Table Mountain. According to Danika and Quillon, not only has it been a source of horror for ancient fishermen, but its topography has also not changed for hundreds of millions of years, with Quillon going as far as referring it to as the center of the world. They're suddenly contacted by Professor Amaranth, who informs them that the sensor has picked up Psychic energy. However, before he can tell more, the transmission is cut off. The group quickly notices that their other electronic devices, such as the sensor, flashlights, [[Rotom Phone]]s, and even [[Poké Ball]]s, are no longer functioning, which they suspect to be Mew's doing. Danika suggests turning back to verify if the Psychic energy matched the correct wavelength, but Quillon presses them to not waste this opportunity if Mew indeed was behind this. Quillon and his {{p|Weavile}} take the lead in climbing the mountainside, with Gary right behind him, followed by Horace and Goh, with Danika coming in last to secure their rear. At first, the climbing goes without much issue, though Goh curses for having always relied on [[List of Goh's Pokémon|his Pokémon]] in difficult situations like this. Suddenly, a {{p|Skarmory}} swoops in and snaps the rope from below Gary, leaving Horace, Goh, and Danika unable to climb higher. {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} notices a nearby ledge, so the three decide to use it as an alternate way to continue their towards the center, while Goh and Gary continue climbing towards the summit.

Carefully moving along the ledge, Danika's group comes across a dangerous-looking waterfall, but her {{p|Azumarill}} spots a cave behind it, so they decide to go through it. Simultaneously, Quillon and Goh reach the summit and head towards the center of the mountain. At the center, they discover an unnaturally round hole, which they suspect to have been created by Mew. While they descend into it with hanging vines, Danika discovers a half-eaten [[Cheri Berry]]. Examining it with a microscope, she notices a short, fine strand of hair on it, which could originate from Mew, meaning that it must be close by. As such, she takes the [[Berry]] along for a DNA analysis later. Horace wonders if Mew will show up to them, considering it doesn't show up to people with evil intentions. Goh is unworried, as they don't have any evil feelings in them. Danika, nevertheless, tells them to stay cautious, as the reports of Mew sightings that Professor Amaranth had gotten from different [[region]]s had told how Mew could either be merciful or cruel, depending on the encounter. Unnoticed by the trio, Mew indeed is in the cave as they speak, following them at a short distance behind them.
