"I'm afraid so...." Nurse Joy said, "They said that Officer Jenny and the Pokemon Institute want you and the clones to be transferred back to their station."
She tries to smile some, "The good news is that they're willing to allow me and one of my Chansey's to come along to make sure the transfer goes smoothly and the clones are in tip top shape for whatever examination the Institute is going to perform on them."
Meowth, unfortunately, didn't feel comfortable about the idea of being transferred to a Police Station or coming face to face with the Pokemon Institute, "Oooooh.... I don't feel comfortable being spotted by the other police and, least of all, the Pokemon Institute.... But at the same time I don't want those clones to be mistreated for something they were forced to do...."
As the situation inside the Pokemon Center was being sorted out, a large, unmarked big rig drives up to where the officers were holding Hierophant and the "deformed" Pokemon. Another officer was at the wheel, motioning for the three that apprehended them to corral them into the trailer. The trio nod, the officer constraining Hierophant pushing him towards the entrance of the trailer while a second officer pulled Excalibur by a long control stick and the third carried Genbu and the unmoving Tarot Skitty.
Once loaded, the driver looks towards another officer standing by in case any passerby took notice of the round up and attempted an overreacting riot, "Are we loading the clones as well?"
"No," the driver said, "Just the young priest and his deformed Pokemon. Whatever he did to them, we don't want him using on the clones to take away their markings and fool the rest of the station into blaming us for misinterpreting their differences. The station isn't far from here, so we'll bring the rig back once they've been transferred there."
The officer nods as he steps out of the way, allowing the big rig to drive down the linear wharf making up the majority of Vermilion City until they arrived at the station.
As the trailer was opening, the first officer turns towards Hierophant, "If you have their Pokeballs, put them in so we can safely transfer them to the examination center in the station."
Genbu almost freaks at the thought of being crammed in the Pokeball while Hierophant cringes at what the officers might think of his response.
"I...I can't! Genbu hates Pokeballs, that's why I shrunk him in the first place!" he almost protested, "As for Excalibur, he belongs to a friend, so I can't be sure if he took the Pokeball with him when he ran off. And the white Skitty...." he hesitates a moment, not wanting to admit that Tarot Skitty isn't really a Pokemon, "...I couldn't get any of the Pokeballs to confine it, not even the Master Ball."
The officers didn't seem convinced about his response to Tarot Skitty, mostly because he didn't specify its gender when he flat out gave away the gender of the other two Pokemon affected by his magic.
"Let's finish this in the station," the first officer said, "We still need to send the rig back to the Pokemon Center in case the clones are even less cooperative to being confined to any sort of Pokeball."
The other two nods as they begin dragging Hierophant and Excalibur from the trailer and into the back of the station where it had a wider opening to allow the Shiny Arcanine through.
Down the hallway, Hierophant spots James and Yamask sauntering ever so cautiously towards them only to suddenly stop upon seeing him and Excalibur about to cross their path.
"Wait a minute!" Hierophant yelps as the officers were getting closer to the irked fake, "That's the officer that tried to get me arrested earlier! He also stole one of the cards that was used during the attack near the Pokemon Center!"
James' irk worsens as he swivels to where his back was facing the wall, trying to mislead the officers into thinking Hierophant was lying, "Why, I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I dunno about him," the second officer said, glaring at Yamask who still has the Hanged Man card on its mask, and is still holding the Fool card from fight outside the station earlier, "Because this Pokemon is carrying two of them."
James struggles hard not to panic at his slowly debilitating situation, "What!? That!? Oh, that's probably just a-!"
He reaches over to rip the card off Yamask only for both of them to suddenly ignite into red and green sparks, causing both to stiffen and yelp in shock and pain of the surging opposing energy. Hierophant just stood within the first officer's grasp, eyebrows furrowed as he didn't have any free hands to slap over his face.
Nice going, you moron! Did you already forget what happened the last time you grabbed your Pokemon while he was carrying the Hanged Man card!? Danny exclaims within James' conscience.
The third officer dumps Genbu and Tarot Skitty onto the second and marches over to pull the two apart, quickly noticing Danny's card sticking out of his back, "Hey! The kid's telling the truth! This officer has another card on his back!"
The first officer then leers closer to James, causing fountains of sweat, "Now that we're in this situation, is this officer even part of the force? I know Officer Jenny said she was going to do a routine profile check, but in all my time working in the force I've never seen, or heard of someone fitting this young deputy's description."
He marches closer to James, inadvertently turning Hierophant around and dragging him along the way, "What's your name, son? We'll need to keep a written record for when Jenny finds the time to perform her profile check."
"W-wait! The card!" Hierophant tries to cut in.
Unfortunately, James was too flustered and terrified of being found out and arrested to realize what was being inputted into his conscience. Without thinking, he yanked his hands away before shoving them towards the officers and the flustered priest, causing a spherical barrier of raw energy to burst out around him, knocking them into a nearby wall while Yamask remained unharmed due to the opposing energy of the Hanged Man card protecting it from the impact, though the heat and brightness were unbearable, causing it to stumble away to avoid being subjected to anymore torment.
James snaps his eyes open once the brightness faded, seeing the three officers knocked unconscious to the floor, the first piled on top of the still conscious Hierophant while the other two fell on top of Excalibur, leaving him pinned to the floor and in a position where he couldn't get up without hurting them, Genbu and Tarot Skitty in the process. Panicked, he looked between the aftermath and his hands before plastering his back against the wall.
"Let's...let's get out of here before anymore officers see this and try to arrest us!" he yelps before making a break for the station exit, prompting Yamask to follow afterwards.
Hierophant grunts while he digs out the key's from the officer's belt and tussles it into the keyhole on the cuffs, getting one hand loose as he gently pushes the officer off and starts running after James, forming his staff and pointing it towards them.
"Miracle Beam!"
James yelps again and yanks a nearby door open, blocking the glowing energy of his bright, sparking light. Hierophant grits his teeth in exasperation before continuing the chase, rounding the corner to find several more officers running towards the scene after the explosion went off.
"What's going on here!?" one of them demanded. James quickly throws his back against the wall and points to Hierophant.
"Stop him! He used his magic to incapacitate those officers down the hall!"
"Not this again...." Hierophant groaned as the officers rushed and slammed him to the floor, wrestling his wrist back behind him and slapping the other cuff back on. One of them then ripped his staff out of his hand.
"Go check on the officers and round up the deformed Pokemon that came with this priest," one of them shouts, "We'll him to the containment room as per Jenny's orders!"
One of the officers saluted and heads off to do as told while the other two haul Hierophant to his feet and begin dragging him towards their intended destination.
