Meanwhile...
Domino had since finished the paperwork and turned it in. She and Joe were sitting in her car while she called Giovanni, whom she had put on speaker. "Alright, the papers have been filed. Tomorrow morning, Mewtwo will be transferred to the Pokemon Institute."
"Good, good," Giovanni's voice crackled over the lousy speaker, "Dr. Yeung should be over at the Institute by now. He'll make arrangements for Mewtwo's care. I'm on my way over to prepare for trial."
"I heard," Domino nodded. "You sure we can win this one? From the sound of it, it looks like it's going to be a contest to see who Mewtwo will listen to. That's going to go over well, I'm sure..."
"I know that," Giovanni grumbled. "That's why I sent Dr. Yeung. We need to find a way to ensure its loyalty. As it stands, I know for a fact that Mewtwo will allow itself to be harmed, just to prove a point."
Domino nodded again. "So, what was your plan?"
"As you know, I have been in negotiations with Team Cipher," Giovanni explained. "They have ways to ensure a Pokemon's unquestioning loyalty, and with Mewtwo in custody, we can have unlimited access to it. I've arranged to have Mewtwo held in our wing of the Pokemon Institute. Dr. Yeung has a team there, and Cipher is sending a team over to help us with the project."
Domino was silent as she listened. Giovanni wasn't entirely straight with her concerning the nature of the project. She knew about Team Cipher, but not enough to know about their own projects. But, if Giovanni needed Domino's help, then she needs to know about the project. "What exactly is this project?"
There was a pause before Giovanni answered. "Have you ever heard of Shadow Pokemon?"
"Only in passing."
"Since I have been in talks with Cipher," Giovanni continued, "they told me about how they control Pokemon. These Shadow Pokemon are capable of unleashing their full potential in battle, while maintaining unquestioning loyalty. They weren't specific about how they do this, but they said that they 'close the doors to their hearts.'"
Domino nodded slowly. "So, you want to turn Mewtwo into a Shadow Pokemon?"
"Correct," Giovanni replied, "if we can guarantee its full loyalty, we will not only win this trial, but Mewtwo will be far less likely to turn against us. Let's face it. As of right now, there is no way that we can get Mewtwo back during the trial. We know it won't listen to us. We'll be humiliated, and you know it."
"So, what's the process on making a Shadow Pokemon?"
"You'll have a chance to observe the process firsthand. Cipher wasn't specific on what it entailed. They tell me, though, that it is a very intensive procedure. I hope you have plenty of restraints, as I'm sure Mewtwo will not submit to it willingly."
Domino winced. "Once we get it to the Institute, we should be good to go." She paused as she changed the subject. "Oh, when we left, the station was talking about Mewtwo's little clone friends. Those clones are being transferred right away. You want them included in the project?"
"Not yet. Keep them there, though, as bait. However, if you get the chance, find out how it made those clones! If Mewtwo is capable of creating more clones, I want to know how it does it! Its knowledge will be very useful for us, and I'd rather we extract that from its brain before we begin the Shadow Pokemon process. After we're done with it, we'll have not only locked the door to its heart, but boarded it up and ripped the damn knob off."
