Lily's eyes went dark. <"So what do you propose we do?"> she hissed. <"Lay down and give up and let ourselves die? We will find a cure -- it's only a matter of finding it fast enough. Lillian and Rain have been working for the last ten years -- they're not there yet, but they're close. We cannot just give up and condemn ourselves to die. Yes, Mew has not been seen, but Mew is reclusive -- perhaps it is just hiding."> Of course, Lily knew, like Rain, that Mew was, in fact, missing. She had been to Mew's hollow multiple times -- each time, it was empty. <"Even if Mew is not here, that does not mean we just give up. We cannot always rely on someone to save us. Perhaps it is time for us to save ourselves.">

Jet looked up.<"Is aura part of the cure?">He asked simply.

Umbra ~ level 96 Theo ~ leve 74 Kriss ~ level 52 Silver's blue eyes widened, and he looked lost at words for a long time before finally saying, "This disease has been here before?... It has affected people... And it has killed them?..." The trainer didn't say anymore than that, but both Theo and Umbra glanced at Silver in worry... Umbra was close enough to him and Theo was Psychic, they could tell their trainer wasn't exactly pleased at this news... Mainly because he just heard of this now, and not sooner. "Now hold on... More than likely, a vaccine would be made if this disease is as deadly as you say it is... It will not destroy the world... But it may cause a panic and a lot of deaths if not controlled in this area regardless... Now..." Silver went on calmly, voice soothing. "Before we all get ahead of ourselves with doomsday theories, you mentioned some interesting things... A lifeforce and aura? How does a rock have a lifeforce? What is aura? And mew? An extinct pokemon? I'm sorry Rain, this seems odd... Mew hasn't been sighted since ancient times. We found fossils and ancient civilization depictions. If mew was really spotted, or any "legendary", it would have made news quickly... And I'm sorry about your parents, but if this disease was so deadly and it happened before... Why was noone told of this till now? Two girls my age cannot cure a plague." Although sympathetic, Silver saw Rain as a little loony at the moment... What he viewed as the obvious choice of action should have been taken long ago. Theo rubbed his beard. "<He has a point...>" The alakazam pointed out to Lily with narrowed eyes. "<This could have been quelled sooner if not for the inaction.>" Umbra growled, silver/red eyes narrowed. "<Leave her alone Theo. I admit, I find all of this a little shocking myself, but lets not get to pointing paws at each other. THEY aren't the source of the plague.>" Kriss was bouncing up and down, hissing. "<I don't know what to do! But I want a plan and an action. Like Silver does.>" OOC: Erp... You guys went ahead of me..... EDIT: Or maybe it could count...

<"No Mew is still alive.It's just missing.">Jet spoke up.<"It's somewhere,just not here.">The buizel closed his eyes.<"I can't sense aura...but there are two pokemon who live at the tree...who can.">He added,opening his eyes.<"They could problaby find Mew,and bring it back right?While Lillian and Rain work to find the antidote.">

Theo glanced at Rain when Jet spoke. "<The girl can sense aura as well... If she were so concerned as she says she is, then more aura users does not realistically help us in this predicament... If mew is gone, he or she is gone. Attempts have already been tried, and I don't like relying on a disappeared individual... Working on a vaccine does make sense though.>"

<"And how long will that take wise guy?"Jet snapped at Theo.<"They've already been researching TEN WHOLE YEARS!">Jet wanted to scream,but he kept his voice steady.<"Listen,Mew must be in Kanto,there's no place else for it to have gone.So why not look for him?If the vaccine doesn't work,we need a backup plan.That's all I'm saying!">

Theo ~ 76
"<Enough BOY!>" Theo growled, eyes starting to take on a blue hue. "<Thats not a backup plan! Thats a desperate act! It was two girls working on the vaccine, not a team of scientist and distinguished professors! Are you suggesting we look through an entire country for one miracle pokemon who has not even been sighted in the flesh by most for thousands of years! He or she may not even BE in Kanto! He or she may have decomposed long ago! We jus don't know! And even we DID find him or her...>" The alakazam narrowed his eyes... <"What makes you think that mew would come back?... If we normal pokemon and humans have to fetch the guardian to do their job ourselves? Why would mew leave in the first place?!>"

<"Well that he or she can TRANSFORM into other pokemon!">Jet retorted.He didn't even wince when Theo snapped at him.<"And it's not desperate...it's common sense.You're right though....it's two girls working on this.TWO GIRLS!">He stated more calmly.<"They say their close...but how close?Is it close enough?Or are we all doomed?I'm not gonna just sit and wait for the disease to take me,while TWO GIRLS keep trying to find the vaccine!">Jet finished with a growl.

Rain narrowed her eyes. "You don't think we've tried?" she spat, her voice angry. "Ten years ago, Cameron was almost completely destroyed. My world completely fell apart around me. Yet the rest of the world passed it off. They thought that we didn't matter. They believed that it was just another passing thing that would go away. Yes, it was reported on. But Cameron is a small and reclusive place. Not many outsiders pass through here. After a couple of weeks, they dropped the matter. Record of the disease has almost been completely wiped from memory. Nobody cared enough to research it."
"As for finding a vaccine, I will tell you that Lillian has spent her life researching it. The last ten years. And she is not just some 'little girl playing hero.' She's educated in science. Her mother was a professor; she's been learning practically from the day she could walk. Say my cousin is not a respectable professor, and I will personally make sure you regret it for the rest of your life. She did when no one else cared. This disease is strange in that it mutates very quickly -- that's why it affects everything. Something that works one day may not work the next. The goal is to find a way to get rid of completely, and so far, there hasn't been a way to do it. Mew almost succeeded -- that's why the disease has been gone for so long. But it didn't have enough energy to completely eradicate it."
Lily turned her head back to the girl, golden eyes gentle and comforting. <"Rain...calm down. Shouting won't help."> The girl took a deep breath, closing her eyes for a moment.
"As for the Tree of Beginning...yes, it is a rock formation. But it is also alive. Have you seen the crystals around town? They're much more common as you get closer to the Tree. These crystals absorb sunlight and turn it into nutrients much like a plant would. Inside the Tree is a large circulatory system that allows it to distribute those nutrients throughout the Tree. It seems strange, but it's true. The Tree of Beginning is very much alive."
"As for your question about aura...Aura is the lifeforce that makes up all living things. Pokemon, humans, plants, the Tree: all of them have an aura. Those skilled in the use of aura can see it...Lucario, for instance. All Lucario have the ability to sense aura, and some have the ability to manipulate it as well."
"And Mew exists and is alive, I assure you." The girl's blue eyes were strong, determined, yet slightly mysterious. "Mew has a symbiotic connection with the Tree. Without it, the Tree would not survive. And just because something is not seen does not mean it does not exist. After all, would mass media coverage of Mew be a good thing? Of course not. People would swarm to the Tree, trying to find the legendary Pokemon. The Tree is a very delicate ecosystem -- the smallest imbalance can bring it crashing down."
OOC: BTW, Lillian is ten years older than Silver and Rain.

<"See wise guy?">Jet smirked at Theo.<"Mew is alive.It's here...just not at the tree.And sometimes yes..seeing is believing.But sometimes the most real thing in this world,are things we can't see.">The buizel snorted.<"And they say your speices is super smart.">

Lily was silent for most of this...but then the Espeon spoke up, voice soft. <"You say that Mew has not been sighted for thousands of years Theo..."> Golden eyes narrowed. <"But how do you know that for sure?">
The Espeon lashed her tail a bit before she continued, her voice still quiet, but now a bit colder. <"And you say that only 'two girls' have been working on this...but what do you say when for one, these 'two girls' have practically dedicated their lives to this? What do you say when these 'two girls' are the only ones who cared enough to work on this? You say that we need more than 'two girls' working on this...but I will let you know that these 'two girls' are for one as educated or perhaps more educated than other professors and scientists...and two, these 'two girls' know more about this disease than anyone else. Not only that, but they have the motivation. This is their home, the place they live. Do you think they want it to die? Of course not!">
The Espeon's honey-gold eyes darkened. <"I lost my old owner to that disease. I want it gone more than all of you, I guarantee it. You say you want distinguished professors and scientists working on this. Well, I will tell you that Lillian is all that and more, and Rain is just as dedicated and motivated. And I can honestly say that I would rather have Rain and Lillian working on this over any other professor.">

The Espeon closed her eyes, silent. Her tail flicked up and down, and she looked thoughtful. <"It might,"> she said finally. Of course, it wasn't completely the truth. She did know that it would help. Would help in finding Mew and in finally destroying the disease. But she couldn't share that -- not yet. For Rain's sake, she didn't need that right now.

Umbra ~ level 97 Theo ~ level 77
Silver looked grim throughout Rain's outburst before he pointed quietly. "If thats true... If mew really has a connection to the Tree of Beginning... Then wouldn't it make sense that mew was sick and dying? Not to mention we don't know where it is... And apparently, even in the past, it couldn't save and cure the tree itself according to you. Relying on mew is pointless at this time. We may pick up on it later, but we will be heading in the wrong direction. We need to seriously consider evacuating the town before it spreads too far. I need to tell the professors all of this information you gave me so they can study the disease... Maybe my father too... So HE can report to the different elite four leagues and gain some attention to this area." Silver's eyes narrowed. "I never said your sister was playing hero... but I'm skeptical of all this, and I have to right to be. Don't you EVER threaten me again. It's not very becoming of you, especially when we are supposed to be working together. But I'll have you know, medical prodigy or not, she cannot find a cure alone. We need more than one person working on this." Silver sighed as he closed his blue eyes, rubbing his temples. "You would have to find a way to eradicate the entire disease, almost every single microscopic pathogen at once before it mutates in such a way that we would have to find another way... Even normal diseases do that."
Theo narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. "<THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS NOT SEEN MEW IN THOUSANDS OF YEARS... Besides this place apparantly...>" He pointed out. "<And as I said before... Motivation or not, progress has not been made, or it's not been made enough. I DO NOT care about Rain or Lilian's personal feelings and determination. They CANNOT do it alone. It has been PROVED they cannot do it alone. The logical explanation then Lily, would be to move on to another action, and see how it turns out.>" The alakazam narrowed his eyes. "<Do not presume to question my judgment on this.>"
Umbra snorted. "<Enough... Shutup. I'm getting sick of this. Your all like pidgeys during breeding season. A lot of chirping and no action... And for Arceus' sake, stay calm and stop that screaming.>" The umbreon leaped off of Silver's lap after his silencing innuendo, and stared at Lily. "<Did the disease originate from the tree? In the aura called the life force? And about the crystals? Are they connected to the tree?>" He asked calmly, and surprisingly seriously.
