[Video -- During the end of the Tournament Finale]
[The video footage is grainier and shakier than normal, as the person holding the Warp Band up is apparently trying to stay out of sight and hissing "quiet" to someone nearby.]
[What the image actually shows is an unobstructed view into one of Team Evolution's tents, wherein TeVo member Sakina constrained with huge, powerful metal bindings, eyes glowing red. The other missing representative, Crystal Verdine, and two orderly-like Team Evolution grunts can be seen injecting the struggling woman with some kind of liquid - a few moments later, she slumps over, looking half-asleep. Rise's whispered voice comes over the video shortly thereafter.]
I...we went to go find the missing Team Evolution guys during the final match. That's them.
Guys, that woman is Enlightened and stupidly powerful. There's something else, too, but I can't quite tell what. I don't know what's going on, but--
[Suddenly, at Dr. Verdine's orders, Sakina is released and unceremoniously slumps in place. A few other scarcely audible orders and the visible Team Evolution members begin to scramble to pack up the equipment and the tent it's in, getting ready to move. Possibly the whole camp. A few moments later, Sakina starts moving again, sluggishly.]
Oh crap, we need to get out of here.
[Rise's feed cuts off as she gets ready to run back to Union with her reluctant companions in tow. It may be a few minutes before she can respond to anyone but Asemu and Jinxie.]

Video
A specific kind? [!!] Wait! I think we studied them in class! Uh...something of War type?
Video
Just from the glance I got of this lady, I think that's fairly appropriate. She was at least twice as strong as anyone I've ever seen in Union, human or Pokémon.
Video
With their beliefs, I'm not surprised she's strong. But chaining up their own people like a monster and experimenting...[That's awful. just awful]
Video
[She's sure of that. Pretty sure, anyway.]
Video
Why are they so obsessed about it anyway? What's the point in getting strong if you don't have another reason for it? I don't get it.
Video
[She pauses for a moment, looking troubled.]
It is exciting watching Pokémon you're Bonded with grow and get stronger. I didn't even think about it until a couple months ago and now going out and training is kind of addictive.
Maybe they just got way too into it...
Video
No way! Even if it is fun watching them get stronger, my Pokemon are my friends! I'd never do anything to hurt them just so they'd be stronger! Same goes for my human friends!
Video
Video
But I guess you have a point...what made them go this far?
Video
Like, maybe at some point they felt like the HAD to absolutely be the biggest and the strongest no matter how it hurt something else to survive. And after that need was done with they just...kept going, because it worked once.
Video
When you put it that way, it sounds...kinda sad. I mean, it doesn't make it right, but...
[Ugh, shades of gray are tough]
