Lycis clambered on top of a roof nearby the Government building. She knew that there would be guards at the front door - they likely wanted to ensure that nobody would attempt to do what she was about to do. That made going through the front door the last possible option.
And since there weren't going to be any other doors, and Lycis had no way to tunnel into the building, that meant she had to enter through the roof of the building. Hence why she was now on top of the building next to the Government.
Just a little closer... hang in there, Andrew. Hang in there.
With that, she walked far away from the spot where the two roofs were close, and then ran at the roof before jumping across the gap.
With a somewhat audible thud, the Weavile landed on the rooftop of the Government building. Unbeknowst to her, this arrival at the rooftop besides using the access door has triggered a motion sensor when Lycis had landed, which in turn activated a silent alarm, which signaled several security stations in the Government HQ. Lycis did not know it, but she had already blown whatever cover she had to begin with.

"Watch this, everyone," the boy said, "this is how I saved myself."
The boy held out his palm in front of him, and within a few seconds, several icicles formed above his palm. Once they had finished forming, they dropped into the boy's hand.
"It's pretty cool, isn't it?" the boy offered, "do you want one of my pokemon to help me demonstrate further?"
An older man and older woman were the ones that this boy was speaking two. After he boy had begun to create the icicles, they were clearly startled. After he finished making them and they dropped into his hand, they recoiled in fear.
"Th-that power... that's not human," the woman said, "that's not human at all. He's one of those..."
The boy was confused. "One of those what?"
"E-Elementals," the man said, "Andrew, y-you're an Elemental. You're one of them."
"That doesn't sound so bad," the boy said, "I like the sound of it. An Elemental certainly would be helpful, wouldn't y-"
The boy was cut off by a sudden blast of heat, released by the Arcanine that the older man controlled, and he was thrown to the ground. Upon seeing this, the Weavile that had been watching this began to snarl, and dark energy was slowly seeping from her claws.
The boy clearly did not know what had just happened. "Why?" he asked, "why did-"
"Why? WHY?! You're an Elemental! You're somewhere in the line between human and pokemon. That... that isn't natural! It isn't human!"
"And he's probably drawn attention to himself before coming here," the woman said, "Goodwin's men might have seen him use those powers. They might have seen him come here!"
"But this power saved my life!" the boy protested, and as he did so, many ice crystals began to form around him. "Without it, I wouldn't be alive anymore! Your son wouldn't be alive anymore!" The boy's words were punctuated with countless ice crystals that now made him barely visible.
"You need to get out!" the man said, "Now! Before they see you and trace you to the rest of us!"
"But-"
"NOW!"
At this, the boy stumbled backwards. The Weavile rushed to his side, and the boy got up, saying quietly, "why? I thought that..."
The boy faced the two adults. He now could not be seen behind the cloak of snow.
"WHY?!"
The moment he yelled that word, all of the snow and ice that had been forming around him exploded outward, creating a blizzard in the inside of the home. The boy and his Weavile were thrown back by the sudden gale, and neither of them could hear what the adults were saying.
Again getting up, the boy looked at his home, which was half-buried by the sudden burst of snow. He turned around after that, and never looked back as he and the Weavile fled from his now-former home.

Washington had seen all of this, and was projecting it for everyone else to see. During the instances where the boy's power went into the same outburst that it did in the memory, the Metagross quickly used telekinetic force to prevent the storm from harming his master or the members with him.
Now, for the first time since this had all begun, Washington had the smallest hints of doubt. He knew that these Elementals were neither of his nor of their own kind, but this... showed that they were once human.
The Metagross had known that the whole time, but only now did he see the impact of what it meant.
Regardless, he pushed away those thoughts. He had to. Master Goodwin was counting on him, after all.
