Jenny furrows her eyebrows in both embarrassment and pity, "I'm so sorry....  I guess I was so focused on what's best for both the city and the people involved that I didn't even realize how badly you were hurt...."

"Old habits die hard," Jenny sighs, "Even in this day an age, we still have countries that insist on living in the past with their wooden houses, Ponyta-drawn wagons and rotary phones."

Mewtwo glanced up, having retreated to the corner since Jenny had ordered the wardens out of the room.  He fixed Ryuta in his stern gaze, studying him closely, discerning that the man was not from Pal Park or the Pokemon Institute.  He wanted to say something, but decided against it, looking passed Ryuta and catching a glimpse into the hallway before one of the guarding officers closed the door.  There was still an air of frustration and confusion amid the station, though the hallway outside had calmed considerably.

Ryuta can sense Mewtwo's reluctance to be near anyone but the trainer he trusts most.  If he was going to say something to assure him he wasn't sent by another common knowledge personnel, he may as well say it now.

I came here by request of your trainer, Lexi 'Quickie' Shank. he thought, keeping the energy of his aura aimed at Mewtwo, She says she wants someone that is equally knowledgeable in both human behavior and Pokemon.

(As far as I can tell, Lawrence III only cares about collecting rare things, including the Legendary Birds)

Ryuta nods as he follows another officer to where Mewtwo is being held, the escort anything but confident that an ordinary-looking Japanese cheerleader could do any better than the police force and a Pokemon Institute.

Once to there, the two riot-geared officers took a double-take at his appearance.

"This is the counselor Officer Jenny called?" one of them exclaimed.

"Don't question her decision," the officer escorting, "She understands just as much about Pokemon and their feelings as the institute that's monitoring that thing.  If she believes he can calm this thing down, you'd best not question it or do anything that will make it angry."

Ryuta just stared at the group, not flinching or grousing at how they were addressing Mewtwo, and heads inside, casually walking over to Mewtwo while gently stroking his Shiny Eevee, both emitting a calm, trusting aura he would quickly pick up through his psychic senses.

"Hey wait!" one of the guards shouted, about to run after Ryuta only to be yanked back by the officer that led him here.

"Keep guarding the door," he said, "We don't want another incident riling this thing into attacking."

Jenny takes the sketch and looks it over before handing it to one of the officers passing by, "Pass this around to any officials remaining in the station and have them track down any officer matching this sketch.  If he and his Yamask have any cards on them, remove them immediately before he attempts to use them to cause more damage to the station."

The officer nods and takes the sketch, heading off to do as told while Jenny looks back towards the receptionist, "If there are any visitors showing up to say they have information on Mewtwo, let me know as soon as possible.  I'll have one of my cousins and sisters take them to separate rooms and interrogated on information that can further prevent Team Rocket from forcing him back into their clutches."

The receptionist nods as Jenny looks back towards the rest of the group, "We should get going.  The sooner we have you under investigation, the sooner we can build up a case against Team Rocket's unjust rights to ownership."

"I'll do my best to try and explain it to him without getting him anymore riled up than he already was, but I can guarantee he won't take the information sitting down," Ryuta said.

He watches as Quickie heads over to the other and taps Jenny on the shoulder, explaining the reason Misty was here.

Jenny looks around before nodding, "We'll have to put you all in separate rooms, preferably away from where Mewtwo is being held.  I'm sorry for doing this, but we had an incident not too long ago where a young, blue-haired priest was brought in under accusations of 'deforming' the natural appearance of three Pokemon, and a fiasco the officers that brought him in claimed were caused by an officer with similar hair and a Yamask, both holding three cards that had been used in said deformation, and the incident between Route 11 and Vermilion, one of which seems to allow the suspected officer to project some kind of bright, harmful energy from his hands."

"Well, I am the Cinnabar Island Gym Leader, I have a slight affinity with Fire-types, so... Who knows?" Dr. Wily II said, all the while inching himself closer to the Charizard.

Charizard just glares at WilyII, growling and seeming ready to attack if he tried touching it.

"Alright, I'll be with Meowth while you get ready." Dr. Wily II bowed, and left the room, heading back to where Meowth is. Upon reaching, he noticed Meowth having a bit of trouble with a Charizard. He walked over and asked.

"Need some help?"

"Not exactly sure you'd be able to help out," Meowth said, "I keep telling him the solutions to saving Mewtwo and the other clones, but all he keeps saying is that as long as Mewtwo is being treated poorly, he'll refuse to go with this particular police force.  He's almost acting as stubborn as that twerp's Charizard before they traveled to the Orange Islands."

Quickie gave a slight bow and extended her hand. "I'm Lexi Shank, also known as Quickie.  I requested that someone be brought in to talk to Mewtwo.  He's agitated, depressed, and confused, and I'm no longer permitted to talk to him."

Ryuta stood up and took the hand in shaking, resting his other hand on the Shiny Eevee sitting on the respected shoulder, "So I've been told.  Spirit sensing is almost on par with being a psychic, so he shouldn't react too badly to my presence."

Quickie soon noticed that the hand she was clutching felt mechanical, almost as if it was a machine.

"It should be fine, as long as it's just that," Jenny said, "Everything else will be left between Mr. Ippongi and the Institute."

They soon arrive near the receptionist desk, seeing her staring somewhat irksome at the man sitting at the bench with an Shiny Eevee sitting on his shoulder and looking ready to call in backup.

Jenny looks towards the receptionist while raising a hand, "Stand down.  I called him here."

The receptionist still remained irksome, but reluctantly pulls her hand away from the phone.  Jenny walks over to the man and presents his hand to him.

"This is Ryuta Ippongi," she said, "He specializes in studying the emotions of all living things and using his own energy to tame and communicate with them.  He once used this ability to safely escort a Raikou back to the other Legendary Beasts after a yakuza corralled it into one of the radio towers in Johto and used it to cause a city-wide blackout."

No answer, eh? she thought to herself. With grace and agility, she snuck behind Arche Storm, and using the voice of the person she heard on the radio yelled from behind him, "ACID BANANA COMING RIGHT FOR YA, ARCHE! LOOK OUT!"

This guy is just too much fun to mess with, she thought, laughing inwardly at her little prank.

Hierophant just stood behind Mirbstique, looking anything but pleased before bringing his staff out, sparking with the Thunder of Justice's Spellblade ability, and pokes it against her back.

Merrick wasn't comfortable being put in a bag, but having remembered what happened the last time he confronted discombobulated and terrified Pokemon he didn't want to instigate another riot just floating about like it was a normal routine.

Meowth, meanwhile, nods and hops off the table to confront and tell the clones what's happening.  Some of them nodded in acceptance while others, particularly Charizardtwo due supposedly to being cloned from Ash's Charizard back before it fully accepted his trust, were still uptight about being examined by something other than a Pokemon.


Jenny eventually finds a number and presses the call button, pressing the phone against her ear, "Hello, Mr. Ippongi.  This is Officer Jenny.  I'm sorry if this seems sudden, but if you've been keeping up with the news, you must know why I called you, and the urgency that requires you to be involved in this.  You seem to be the only one I can think of to speak to any rare, one-of-a-kind Pokemon without discrimination."

There was a pause, "Yes, I'm very sorry.  I've tried real hard to train our officers to be a little more mutual to large, rare Pokemon, but most of them still refuse to regard them as anything but wild animals that can only be taught four things at a time....  Okay, where should I expect to find you so the officers aren't startled by your sudden appearance?  The receptionist?  Alright, I'll be there in a bit to let the receptionist know I called you here."

She then closes the phone and sticks it back on her belt before looking over to Quickie and Taylor, "I believe I found someone who might try to gain Mewtwo's trust without being too rough with him.  If you want, you can come with me and introduce yourselves so he'll know who he's dealing with."

"Well, technically, I was trained in the art of white magic, but I usually stick to gadgets and fisticuffs, more because I like to challenge myself and keep magic to emergency healing," Hajime said, "Other than that, me and the rest of the squad specialize more in cheering squad practices, using our auras to boost moral and trust, and sensing the emotions of anyone we encounter.  Our current leader is the only one who relies on a particular kind of magic to defend and heal everything he sees."

"He wouldn't if he tried," Merrick said, "Not unless he wants to experience a different kind of Thundershock."

Meowth irks nervously.  Though he has been hit with lightning enough times to grow a immunity to it, he still didn't enjoy the sensation.

"I...think I'll wait until we resolve the situation with Mewtwo and his clonse before going back to the usual Team Rocket rigmarole...." he mutters nervously.

"Well, I'm glad someone finally agrees with our decision to set up base there," Hajime said while rolling his eyes, "The last group of heroes we picked up stopped taking us seriously when we brought them here."


Hierophant decides to head up to the lounge despite feeling he should talk to Spider-Blues first.  They were nearing their destination, and considering how much flack the squad got from the last group of heroes they picked up and had to bring back during their routine refuel and restocking, he didn't want this next group to act the same way.

He steps back into the elevator and presses the "B" button, taking him to the lounge as he steps off to check up on the rest of the heroes hanging out here.

(Just trying to keep up the daily dose of lighthearted nonsense.... )

Nurse Joy compresses her lips as she nods remorsefully, "I'll go find a Chansey that's willing to cooperate with the rougher officials, you and Meowth explain the situation to the clones and return them to their Pokeballs."

"I can talk to them, but after all this, I'm worried they might be less willing to cooperate," Meowth mutters while eyeing the remaining officials standing outside, "Especially with the way the officials outside are staring at them."

No sooner had Joy left the room, however, a bright beam of light slams down in the lobby, dissipating to reveal an officer holding Hierophant's staff in one hand and Merrick in the other.  He appears to be flat on floor, half-dazed before snapping back to his sense and jumping to his feet, screaming and tossing the handheld trinkets aside before making a beeline for the exit.

"Wow a giant junk yard, that's really interesting." BatSakura said as she thought of what she could make.

"Superman had his base of operations in an arctic cave full of crystals," Hajime said, though not ignorant of the somewhat compliment, "Compared to that, this is fairly passable."

"It's starting to sound that way," Jenny said, "My sister is currently investigating the situation with the current Gym Leader there and will share when she's certain that it wasn't simply word of mouth."


The two new officers sat Hierophant in a chair in front of a table, while a third brought in the Pokemon he "deformed", tying Excalibur to a leash attached to the wall before placing Genbu and Tarot Skitty on the table.

The second still held his gold staff, maneuvering it around while rubbing his hands around it.

"This is the thing that was used to disable our previous three officers?" one asked, "Where's the button on this thing."

"According to some of the officers that saw him use it on the culprit imitating Mewtwo," the third began, "He pointed the staff at him, said one word and he was down like a seizure patient."

"What!?  That can't be all!" the second snorts as he points the staff into the air, "So what?  I just say Flamethrower and this thing magically shoots out a beam of fire, or something?"

"It's not a Pokemon, you know...." Hierophant mutters, "You either have to be trained in a certain culture, or use a card with strong magical properties...."

"Oh, please," the second snorts again, "You mean to tell me that unless I was some warlock like you, I have to rely on some card to use what only a Pokemon can control?"

"To put it bluntly...."

The second chortles as he pulls Merrick out of Tarot Skitty's deck, "So you're saying all I have to do is hold this card along with the staff and say something like...oh...I dunno...Teleport?"

Hierophant cringes as he attempts to get up, "I don't think you should say it like-!"

His warning, unfortunately, came too late as the area around the officer glows and shoots a beam of light through the ceiling, shrinking out of existence a second later.

"...that...."

The remaining two officer panic as they looks around for their now missing companion.

"George!?  Where'd ya go!?" one of them shouts.

"Come back, George!" the second calls out as he and his cohort stumble out of the room and began running around the station in search of the officer that cast the spell, leaving Hierophant to  stare at their fleeing figures before collapsing back on his chair and sighing exasperatedly.

Jenny searches through her phone for a list of available counselors that specialize human-etiquette Pokemon, "I'm searching right now, but you have to remember I now have my hands full dealing with the situation in Mewtwo's room, the deformed Pokemon that are being blamed on that young priest, and the possibility of moles lurking about, pumping uneducated accusations into everyone's ears.  I don't want think this was just another plow by that organization to ensure we're too ruffled and discombobulated to cooperate in a proper, professional manner, but given their track records in the past, I'm finding a hard time convincing myself otherwise."

Barely noticeable in the far horizon was what appears to be a village-size wasteland full of junk ranging from mechanical to organic, some seeming to form mountains as high as Mt. Everest.  It sat on the shores of the ocean separating it from New RPM City with an abandoned oil tower seeming to act as a watch tower of sorts.

Someone appears to be watching from the tower, but as the ship grew closer, it quickly heads to the back and leaps off, disappearing into the incomprehensible landscape.

Jenny pinches her temple before shouting at the top of her lungs, "EVERYONE STOP!"

The entire area becomes silent as she points towards the officers restraining Hierophant, "You two, bring that kid into the interrogation room two doors from Mewtwo's and wait for my sister to get there and interrogate his association to Mewtwo and the cards.  And bring the Pokemon the three officers claimed he deformed.  They'll be of no harm as long as he follows procedure and not cause any further problems."

She gives Hierophant a stern glare as he nods in obedience and lets the officers drag him off to their relocated destination while Jenny confronts the occupants in Mewtwo's confinement, "You four, back away from Mewtwo and stop threatening him.  Dangerous as he is, manhandling him with threats and provocations is NOT going to make him calm down any quicker or quieter.  He is a Psychic-type, afterall.  He can tell how fairly we're treating his trainer and the boy associated to this fiasco."

She waits until everyone does as told before heading back to the observation room, "I'm sorry.  I'm afraid the visit's over for the time being.  We'll try again when everything's calmed down."

"First is it possible to turn down the AC, second where are we headed, and three why do you guys keep insisting to fix my car when I said multiple times that I'll fix it when I recover?" BatSakura asked quickly.

"I only asked once if you needed your car fixed," Hajime said as a wire slithers out of his arsenal pack and presses some buttons in the nearby AC to lower the temperature to a comfortable setting, "I don't know who else would be asking, but the rest of the squad is trained to understand when to take a hint.  As for where were going...."

He's suddenly cut off by a communication in the dome-shaped earphones covering his ears, "We're almost to that destination right now.  There's a window right behind you if you want to take a look."


There was a beep in the elevator, prompting Hierophant to press a button with the picture of the phone on it.

"We'll be reaching home in about an hour," Ittetsu said from the intercom, "The view can already be seen in the distance, so you might want to think about letting the others know before they start questioning its appearance."

Hierophant sighs as he looks over to see if Spider-Blues was still there.

"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.
