Red's Journal: Pokeball functionality
So I talked about training Pokemon, and the key is to form a bond with them. The most powerful Pokemon in the world is no different in battle than the weakest one if it doesn't trust or like you. Well a lot of people believe the Pokeball in of itself does this. Simply put it, Their is a false idea on how the Pokeball works. Some people think it crams them into it, possibly restrains them, and then brainwashes them. Well that's simply not the case, if it were then when older siblings give their younger ones their Pokemon, they would follow orders just the same. I've never seen it myself, but I've heard they use moves they want to use instead of the ones ordered, will outright ignore you completely, fall asleep on you, etc. The Pokeball's true function is to give the trainer a means of control over the Pokemon, who in all honesty could easily kill you if they wanted to and if the ball did do things like squish them inside it or tie them up or whatever, they probably would want to kill you when they came out.
  The Pokeball was originally designed to acknowledge one major problem. When one of these things lets loose. Take something like Gyarados. Gyarados has more than enough power to level a large city if it really wanted to. They typically don't do this because it would be foolish, since it takes a while to build up enough power to do something like that and to waste it on a city like that would be pointless for them since it would have no obvious personal gain and could possibly be dangerous since they could fall prey to something else that had not used it's energy up like this. The Pokedex makes notes of all of the examples known of these things letting loose like this, as a reminder of how deadly it could be if they did. Luckily they don't normally do this sort of stuff, it's incredibly rare. However they can, and because they can, it is important to be able to do something about it and do it quickly. The Pokeball became the most effective strategy and when it was originally created, it was essentially a disaster prevention device.
  First thing it did was utilize shrinking technology to shrink them down. When you're the size of a dust particle, it take a monstrous amount of power to do any real damage to the Pokeball (which is why it's much easier for them to destroy them from the outside rather than when inside them). Next thing it does is utilize calming technology to try to put them into a state of euphoria. Since they tend to only do these sort of things when greatly angered, fatigued, etc, if you relax them, they will generally choose to reserve the energy on their own accord. This also debunks two myths, that the ball squishes them inside it and that it physically restrains them. Well the point of it is to calm and relax them. If they are squished inside it, then they would be in a very claustrophobic environment, which isn't relaxing at all and it is also very uncomfortable to be in a tight space. If they were physically restrained, then that would mean they would probably panic due to the restraints and fatigue is a reason they summon this power in the first place, which is the opposite of what you want. You want them to relax and feel comfortable so they won't feel the need to call upon this destructive power. So no restraints are used either. Once put into this state, the ball will identify what method was most successful at calming them and then it will identify their energy signature. Energy signature's are kind of like finger prints, no two are alike. So the ball will now be able to hone in on that particular energy signature and return them to it whenever you want. It is important that theses devices always work though and are never faulty, so Pokemon centers actually serve two purposes. The first is the advertised restoring of Pokemon the other is the healing machine also does a ball inspection as well to ensure it is in tip top shape as well. This device proved very successful and also made the capture of them safer too, since they would often use that destructive power on the ball itself apposed to outside it on the battlefield. Making capturing them much, much safer.

  Mewtwo however... well according to the journal he was designed to have a "savage heart". This means he was specifically designed with the intention to allow him to summon up this energy whenever he wanted and he was also designed to not value reserving the power. He could generate this power incredibly fast and because he can, he has no real risk for doing this. So Mewtwo will apparently call upon this power much more frequently and can do so again very quickly. So he'll probably be breaking out of these things a lot. That however isn't my real concern, my real concern is if he can call upon this power this frequently, and I see no sign that he can't, then he might do it on the battlefield. Which I am... very scared of.
