Niko:
You grab Iamb from the holding cells, drag him down to the OR, sedate him, and cut him open. The procedure is a simple one. All you need do is take some measurement and readings of basic human organs and functions, as well as a DNA sample. When you finish Carlos informs you that you have done more than enough to provide him with the normal human baseline needed to cure early stage mutations.

Ducking through the broken fang to reach JS territory, you attempt to find a buyer for a Growlieth. Your attempted sale generates quite a bit of intrest. You get a few unique offers that you would consider, but then things go south. It would seem that a group of local breeders have cornered the JS turf market on fire types, and don't much care for competition. After a few tense words are exchanged you are chased away by a Ninetails and an Infernape.

It would seem that the boat that dropped off Stormy also delivered a bunch of high quality mechanical parts that Faust ordered in anticipation of your construction. Purchasing the gear from the WPSF at the set price, you get to work for once not having to improvise with your materials.
You set the robot to pass for human, program up and install a fairly complex AI, and add in weapons and stealth technology to boot. Aside from whatever use you intend for it on official missions, you are fairly sure you can deploy it for day to day activities as well.

Llewyn:
Hearing about how the others make money by selling Cubchoo, you seek out the shady contacts yourself. They happily give you one and set you up on a street corner where people seem to have a bit of money to burn. Eventually a group of young men approach and pool their money together to make a purchase, claiming to want to start an Ice Gym for their workplace Pokemon League. You take the money, hand over the Pokemon, and return to your contacts to drop off their cut. You are left with a pretty penny to spend yourself.

With fresh money rolling around in your pocket, you decide to take a stroll into JS turf to see what you can find. Although they may techincly be a hostile mutant faction, you can't help but notice Județul Sugar takes much better care of its citizens than the PCNA does. The streets are clean, small businesses operate, and the people don't seem afraid.
This impression evaporates however when you turn a corner and find yourself in the slums. Buildings are damaged here, and the people are stinky, poor, and drunk. A beggar with blue skin and an antenna who seems to be some sort of Water Type mutant attracts your attention and sympathies with a sign.
"Disowned by family for being a mutant. Can't find work. Addicted to expensive habits. Please help. Arceus Bless."
You take pity on the man, perhaps only because of his type, and slip him 1000 py. He stands up, looks you closely in the eye, and speaks. "You have a good heart and an affinity with the superior element. Should you wish to become even closer to the sea, meet me at the entrance to the Water elemental dungeon, which appears on the beach under the bridge that connects JS land with the holdings of the PCNA during the week of the new moon. You may bring friends."
The mutant reaches out and squeezes your hand. "Go now, and take my blessings with you until we meet again."
Suddenly you are overcome at once by massive headache and a sudden surge of great power, and pass out. You come to minutes later surrounded by a curious crowd. The mutant beggar is gone, and you feel a strange new power deep within your soul. When you return to base you tell the others about your encounter. Carlos seems quite exited, and promises to arrange a mission to investigate.

You decide to wind up your day by experimenting with Lucian's sword. You are given a strange helmet and instructed to put it on. "This should allow you to see the fields of supernatural energy surrounding the sword. I am going to experiment upon it. Your job is to inform me of any potential changes in the color, brightness, shape, or size of the field. Respond as quickly and with as much detail as possible when change occurs."
The field around the sword starts out a vibrant and lively green. It changes to a more sickly tone as Rik begins to rub strange liquids and salves upon it. The field sparks red when he taps the sword with a strange wooden implement, and grows to fill almost the whole room when Rik tries to sharpen the weapon on a whetstone. You inform him of all these changes with speed and precision.
After the test concludes the young mutant spends a few minutes going over his notes and running calculations in his head before smiling. "Alright! Good news! I figured out how the sword leeches health, and should be able to make available an item to allow Pokemon to take advantage of the principal. I also have some ideas about potential broader applications of the theroy, and will submit a proposal to Dr. Gonzolez for further testing!"

Doug:
You decide to try and interrogate Rascal, but find the big mutant to be uncooperative and furthermore too physically powerful for your usual methods to work on. Desperate to get something out of the interrogation, you threaten vivisection should he remain silent. Rascal still refuses to give you anything useful, so you decide to make good on your threat and fetch Carlos to help restrain the Walrein mutant and drag him down to the OR.

Down in the labs progress moves along smoothly. You cut the mutant open and take pictures and measurements of his organs and blubber, paying careful attention to the glands Carlos speculates generate ice and water for elemental attacks. Eventualy the procedure is complete. Carlos doesn't object to you allowing the patient to wake up and suffer for awhile before you sew him back up and have him dragged back to his cell.
Susan + Lucian
The pair of you work together to get the large mutant prize from the last mission down to the OR. Big Gustav is sedated, and Carlos presents a chainsaw to be used to get through the large piles of lard between yourselves and his interesting bits. Once you are in, you begin with the standard poking around and measuring of the organs, as well as taking a sample of the fat itself. Once all the mundane standard work is complete, Dr. Gonzalez brings out his extraction machine and hooks it up to the Snorlax person with a wicked grin.
The switch is thrown, causing sparks to fly and the lights to dim. Eventually a slight *ding* is heard and the action stops. Milo has several burn marks from the machine on his body but otherwise doesn't look any worse for his trouble. "Heh. Very nice. I think I might be able to work out how to synthetically replicate the lard of this creature to serve as armor of sorts... I'll look into that. Now all we need to do is extract from a similar corpse, and I should be able to calibrate my machine and formula to produce useable extract again! Susan my love, could you run up to my apartment and fetch several of the gallon jugs labeled 'morphine drip' from under my sink? I have no clue how much it is going to take to make a Snorlax Mutant OD!"
Lucian slips away from the procedure before it gets to the part that would likely tread upon his morals.

When you return from Carlos' apartment, you discover that Lucian has left. You are not surprised.
It takes nearly a gallon and a half of morphine, but eventually the Snorlax mutant breathes his last, and the two of you wire what is left up to the extraction machine for a second go around. With a loud flash and rumble the machine reduces Gustav to a shriveled skeleton and a pile of ashes, but Carlos assures you that it is okay and gets to work running the numbers. After a few minutes of calculations Carlos leaps into celebration mode.
"Este es el mejor día de mi vida! This gives us the data we need to extract mutant essence AND cure low level mutations! It is all thanks to you! Its only a matter of time now until we take our research in directions that those ignorant fools in London can only dream of!"

You share a brief celebratory lunch in the doctor's apartment before heading back down to the lab and tracking down Rik. The young mutant had just completed some sort of supernatural analysis of the sword with the new girl's help, and is quite grateful for your help in running the weapon through some more practical tests.
Handing you the weapon and presenting you with several target dummies, Rik instructs you to swing away. The targets are clearly all made out of different materials, and some are cut far more easily than others. At the conclusion of the test Rik informs you that he should be able to help better protect against attacks from JS weapons and tactics.

Tick Tock is a tough customer in the interrogation room. With his ability to see the future he is able to sarcastically respond to your questions before you can even finish speaking them!
Eventually Lucian gives up and changes the tone of the interrogation to that of a casual discussion. The mutant quickly begins to become more pleasant. He begins to share trivial details about his life, and lets his guard slip at which point, to his horror, he blurts out some information that you find useful.
"Yeah. I volunteered so regularly at the now NPO controlled Port Cane Museum of Human and Mutant Culture that they gave me an access card to get in after hours! I can even turn off the alarms! Ohwaitcrap. You didn't hear that."
Sami quickly gets on the phone with the PCNA secret police and asks if they still have Tick Tock's personal effects from when they brought him in. When the person on the other end checks and returns with an affirmative answer Sami hands the phone off to Faust so that he may work with the PCNA to plan a raid on the museum. Stolen artifacts would fetch a pretty price, and *may* be of intrest to Rik.

Doug + Niko:
The pair of you find a group of trainers on the beach, and decide to train with a series of double battles. The first to foes are young children, and their pet Pokemon are rolled over before they can land a hit. The third trainer, after watching your battle, is confident however that he can beat both of you using only one Pokemon. You accept, and quickly learn that his one Pokemon is in fact a rather high level Exploud.
You find yourselves sorely outclassed as the Loud Noise Pokemon disassembles your team one Pokemon at a time. Doug's Rhyhorn lasts long enough to score a hit or two, and most of Niko's team manages to get off a quick attack before going down, but in the end your opponent and his over-leveled Pokemon manage to completely wipe out your lineups.
The agents retreat back inside of HQ to lick their wounded egos and reflect upon their loss.
