Ryo flinched as the rippling distraught sweeps through his senses, making his struggle to control his yearn to help all the more difficult. Hierophant compresses his lips as his sights and senses detected something different.
Seen only by him and those taught under the tutelage of one of Tarot Cat's cards, ten transparent, wooden wands practically imprison his very presence while eight swords appear to be wedged close to his armor-like flesh, further empowering the restrictive sensation that is affecting Mewtwo's performance and need to focus on what is standing directly in front of him. Any normal person viewing this would think him trapped and helpless but if one where to look deeper at Mewtwo's presence, nine pentacles seem to be pushing against the outnumbering wands and swords, indicating his struggle and determination to fight past whatever was putting him in this state of agony.
Hierophant couldn't tell what was causing him to be in so much struggle, but right now there was very little he could do, and chances were once this situation does pass he and the other Pokemon will have no memory of what just went on, so it probably wouldn't be any point in pondering the possibilities.
