Enten

Numbuh 0.404

Species

Enten is a grass mewtwo cloned from Emesh's DNA by humans who were curious about the strange forest guardian. The guardian proved too elusive for a full cloning though so the lead scientist herself provided the additional DNA to create a stable specimen.

Personality

Enten is serious and logical, taking after his mother in that regard, and enjoys learning how things actually work. He wants to understand and will go a long way to get answers even if they turn out a little different than he was expecting. Though as a legendary he has a lot of power Enten's never been one to really get angry or use aggression, preferring instead to talk things out or find another way. Also while he doesn't show it much he retains a deep-seated sadness after being forced to flee from the lab because he instinctively knows that moment was the last he would ever share with his mother.

History

The group of scientists that created Enten were researchers studying the relationship between pokémon and their environment, specifically the link between habitat and type, but their methods were not always strictly 'legal'. In an effort to avoid removing wild pokémon from their homes these scientists utilized two main research methods, field work to study the pokémon in their natural environment and cloning to study those same species in a more controlled setting. These clones were raised separately by one or two individuals from the group acting as both surrogate parents and as trainers before eventually being given the choice go free and join their kind in the wild; many chose to stay after their study though and were promoted to a mix of assistant and general companion to their particular scientist. Enten himself was raised by the lead scientist and spent most of his time in her private lab, while she treated him as a son she feared what the world might try to do with a young legendary and she constantly urged him to stay hidden from other humans. Cloning itself however was outlawed and had to be done in secret, a secret that could not be kept forever and eventually rumors of 'illegal experimentation' reached the ears of the lab's funders. Before they could begin their investigation though the lead scientist gathered all the research connected to Enten and erased all but a single flash drive that she gave to the young mewtwo before sending him off to find his 'brother'. She also sent away several of the younger scientists and their partners, not wanting their careers to be tainted by the raid to come, but the older members remained and turned themselves in willingly in the vague hope of preventing a manhunt and protecting the pokémon they had created.
