<Brage; Rocket lab #23><br/><br/>"Well, no, not exactly. I'm only going to see how it reacts to you, not use it. It will react before use, to confirm whether or not it can be used."  He finished preparing the machine, and turned around when he was spoken to. "Of course you are. I'm just trying to confirm our theory, that the substance somehow crossed you with a pokémon. If that's true, the machine may still respond."  He pulled the first pokéball off his belt, and placed it into the machine.  "Unfortunately though, a negative result doesn't necessarily mean that we're wrong, but it would probably mean we're wrong about which pokémon it was." The TMs screen lit up for a moment, the words 'not able' being clearly visible, but disappearing as Brage returned the pokéball to his belt. He turned the machine towards Fumiko, showing her the opening in front.  "This opening is meant for a pokéball, but it responds to the pokémon inside. Your hand should work just as well."
