Merrick noticed N show up alongside Sakura, remembering when Hierophant happened upon Unova during his exploration of the Pokemon World. Having been unfamiliar with the culture there, he was easily swayed into Team Plasma's liberation movement, more because it shared his interest in gathering Pokemon through friendship and respect rather than battle and confinement; he even went so far as to convince the inhabitants back home to limit the use of Pokeballs to emergencies or where Pokemon are prohibited from walking side by side with their trainers. The duffel bag he carries was an experiment Magician cooked up after watching an episode of Thundercats, which not only allowed room for Pokemon to wander around in, but occupy themselves with whatever trinkets or toys they pick up from the Pokemart.
Hearing how the two had been watching the news, and feeling somewhat responsible for what's been going on, he decides to step forward and fill them in on the situation.
"That strange Mewtwo that's been causing problems is named Carr," he said, "According to Hierophant, Tarot Skitty had been wandering around this region as the Fool card with two more on its back. Sometime later, they were captured by a trio of Team Rocket members who used them to attack Stone Town and take their Pokemon, but where ambushed by Carr, using Tarot Skitty they ignorantly left behind to call the cards back and use them to his own ambitions."
He looks back towards the TV as the sketch once again appears besides the rambling reporter, "If I'm correct, after Carr recovered from a previous beating by Mewtwo, he must have encountered a Pokemon with either a Transformation or Illusion ability and used it to take on Mewtwo's form and abilities, which is why those clones are following him instead of going about their own, carefree lives."
