In all these years I've spent here in Union, I can't help but be a little impressed with what our, err. Friends over at that evolution team are capable of. It's "different".
[He gives a sober look. The good doctor has been mulling over this for a while now... or at least, mulling over how he should present the issue... no, opportunity.]
I couldn't care less about their ideology, their theology, or whatever keeps them sleeping soundly at night. [As if Union's beliefs are any better, he thinks.] What's important is we have evidence there's a wealth of resources still left intact, just like our Old City out and beyond. We have something they don't have, but more importantly, they have something we don't! We don't have to like them. Worst comes to worst, I'm expecting at least a couple tussles. I mean, look at them, flexing their muscles at our faces. After reports of people injured, that's just asking for trouble.
Consider this a public statement from me, Dr. Ivo Robotnik. Why don't we use whatever's ahead of us as a learning experience? While we have the chance.
This is nothing less than... yes, an opportunity, I daresay. It's an opportunity for the ages!

"E-G622, I beg of you, do something about your butterfingers. For my sake! Unlike E-K599 or E-M081, you're the only one with hands!"
[Outside the university walls, but still within the campus fields, a rotund man is overseeing a rotund Golett lifting some heavy metal weights... only whenever he lifts them, without much issue, it promptly trips.]
"Ugh. Out of all the little clay automatons deciding it wants to follow me, it had to be the one with the balance problem. Looks like my assistant search is still on..."
[He sighs and rubs his forehead, knowing that endeavor's doomed to fail from the start. The Golett lifts itself up, still trying its darnest to lift the weights.]
"... There's no such thing as an A for effort, you know." [Robotnik crosses his arms, waiting for the Golett to stop trying.]

My wife wasn't Enlightened, and my daughter isn't either so I suppose I'm used to being treated differently. I can see how it's a problem, though.
I don't look that unusual [just pale and when he actually uses his abilities he starts to look more inhuman] but there are other Enlightened out there that stand out more.
There are those that say people and pokemon are the same thing, after all. I guess I can't really blame them for being curious, even if it's annoying.

But I'll tell you now: I'd rather be born a Robotnik, as we're all very creative people, than I would "Enlightened".

[He's not so sure. It's not arrogance, exactly. Maybe it's being Enlightened.]
It's not as though my abilities have given me much of a leg up.
[He's steel type. He's kind of useless.]
I do agree with you. I'm a scientist first, Enlightened second.
