"It's ready, Charles," announced Hank and motioned to Charles' pockets, "Call your Wobbuffet, won't you?"
Charles nodded, called forth a pokéball and summoned Wobbuffet. It let out a loud 'Wobbu-Wobbu-ffet!' and saluted with more force than usual, excited, as eager to start the session as Charles. Eeevee yipped cheerily next to them.
Erik's unfaltering glare, however, hardened when Hank placed a Cerebro helmet on Wobbuffet's head. He opened his mouth, about to say something before his eyes widened almost comically at the sight of Charles putting on the bigger Cerebro helmet himself. His befuddlement was quite short lived, though, quickly morphing into what Charles would have thought to be silent simmering outrage.
"He's a test subject too?" he barked at Hank.
Hank gave him a look that said something like 'what else did you expect' --Hank could be a nervous wreck anywhere but his Lab-- and went to retrieve their research diary, a pencil and their notes from previous sessions as well.
"I have been from the start," replied Charles calmly. Contrary to Charles' hopes, Erik grew even more dubious and distrustful of the process.
"Cerebro won't run with anyone else." Decidedly oblivious of Erik's menacing frown, Hank explained further: "Cerebro's objective is to provide a temporary link between a human and a Pokémon's mind. Just as some very powerful psychic pokémon can project their thoughts into human minds, even read them on occasion, Cerebro is to aid a human to do the same. Alas, it cannot as of yet convert the human brainwaves' frequency to Pokémon's on its own, it needs the aid of a psychic pokémon to map a working synapses' core of transmissible brainwaves frequencies and to trigger the connection. Boosting the model Pokémon's own psychic powers allows for said Pokémon, the human and Cerebro to have a considerable range of action as well, say, miles of clear coverage. So you could say Cerebro is also an ability booster, only for psychic Pokémon and only for this task alone, though."
Many had trouble following the theory behind Cerebro but Erik seemed to be doing quite fine as Hank prattled on. Charles really, really liked Erik.
"Still, Cerebro has quite the trouble doing the necessary psionic wavelength conversion onto most humans since common psychic Pokémon lack the mind strength and fine tuning than more powerful Pokémon like Mew, for example, possesses. That's why only the most powerful psychic Pokémon can effectively wield telepathy."
"But Charles' brain is amazing." At this, Erik turned to Charles who might have or might have not blushed, mind you, and raised an eyebrow, his mouth quirked in a guarded smirk.
"Really," said Erik.
It was hard being the sole focus or Erik's piercing stare. Charles squirmed a bit, much to his own chagrin. Erik's smile grew wider.
"Yes! His brain offers no resistance to the process, unlike the others, it's amazingly cooperative. It's as if it was already accustomed to the whole of it and welcomed the experience." Hank said excitedly, his glasses slid down his nose with the movements of his wild gesturing. He quickly resettled them with a push of his forefinger.
"So let's begin."
This is where what little good humor Erik had scraped together in the last minutes drained away. He was all glares and scowls again. Oh, bother.
