"After we're done with this interrogation, I'll issue another report on the number of recruits authorized in our general patrol," Jenny said, "But right now, our main concern is Mewtwo and its fate in the hands of the organization that is fighting for its ownership."

She stops the recorder to flip the tape over, then presses record again, "We will investigate the incidents in Saffron City to see if it's relevant to Mewtwo's fate.  But as I've stated before, there have been no reports of an increased number of his species, and we don't have the proper information to trust that it can be safely returned to you.  The best we can do is issue a warrant to be involved in any observation and experiment performed by the organization's specialists, and ensure they keep any harmful devices to testing out its attack strength and control.  But until then, we have been advised to keep you and Mewtwo as far from physical contact as possible.  The most you can do is observe it from the window room, but as par protocol, it should not know you're there, and you cannot speak to it until further permission is granted."

Meowth looks outside only to notice some flashing lights heading towards the Center, "Yeah...so do I...."

Quickie bowed her head.  Team Rocket was far too powerful, and they had their hands in the pockets of the entire region.  The trial was going to be a disaster and Mewtwo would be returned to Team Rocket custody posthaste.  "All they'll do is hurt him and his clones.  That's all they've done before.  That's all they'll do again."

"I'm sorry...I truly am...." Jenny mutters remorsefully, "But there isn't enough Mewtwo species in existence to enact our Pokemon cruelty accusations, and plenty of witnesses claim they saw that the second Mewtwo that attacked Route 11 and Vermilion City revert back to a short man, so we can't count that as an increase in population.  I'm afraid, as long as the organization has the information and means of keeping it from causing any more problems, we have no choice but to abide by law and order you to surrender it back to them once their resources prove more worthy than whatever evidence you present to show otherwise."

From behind the window, James tsks in frustration, feeling useless to do anything that would help or betray both Mewtwo's well being and his loyalty to Team Rocket.

Deep down, he didn't want Mewtwo to be forced back into Team Rocktet's mitts, remembering the cruelty they caused him during their fight on Mt. Quena.  But at the same time he can't do a thing about it lest he not only gets fired, but also hunted down and killed for being involved in something only Giovanni thinks should never be leaked into the public.  And since Giovanni knows more about Mewtwo than anyone else, he will more than gladly step before the court and wave his sources before the jury without even breaking a sweat, ensuring Mewtwo is back within their clutches to be reduced to a mindless puppet just like that Alakazam he heard WilyII preach about prior to being hit by that powerful Disable attack.

But what can he do to resolve the situation?  Jessie is still missing, Meowth doesn't want to go anywhere near him for fear of Team Rocket noticing and forcing him to cooperate, and his lone charge will only make him an associate that will tempt Giovanni to have him removed from society in the least attention-grabbing means possible.

Oh, now you decide to inflate that cold heart of yours.... Danny snorts, A little late to show your chivalry side.

"Will you shut up!?" James seethed while slapping Danny's card, "I don't need your two PokeCents weighing me down!"

You can hide that facade all you want.  As long as any of us are within the normal sight, we can see what kind of energy is raining upon you and decide how to act on it.

James raises his fist to hit it again only to be caught by Yamask.  But the contact causes a sudden surge of Red and Green sparks to crawl around them, forcing them away from each other before the same explosion calls more attention from the outside.

Meowth seemed irked by WilyII's sudden grabbing of his chest, but quickly disregards it as the sign of age; he is wrinkly old after all.

"My plan was to have the clones help free Mewtwo from the wrongful accusations Team Rocket is drilling into their own skulls, but since they're already this deep in Groudon manure, I think the next plan is to try and save them from whatever persecution Team Rocket might use to force them back under their manipulated thumb."


After using a Hi-Potion to get Excalibur back on his feet, Hierophant prepares to contemplate how to get into the station and get the cards back from Yamask when he noticed some squad cars rolling out of the station, each of them bearing the single equivalent of Eight Wands, all aimed at the Pokemon Center in Vermilion City.

"I think we should head back there and check up on the clones, just in case things get out of hand," he mutters before picking up Tarot Skitty and hopping onto Excalibur's back, allowing him to take flight and follow after the cars.

also is no one concerned that there's a Pokémon breathing small amounts of fire on my head? Or is the interrogation that intense?

They dun seem to be too focused on the situation at hand to notice anything more unusual than the presence of a "one-of-a-kind" Pokemon....

Seeing Spider-Blues heading for the door, Hierophant steps out of the way so as not to get into his way as he was heading into the hallway.  Hearing about wanting to find a chemistry section, he decides to stick around and wait until he was fully out the door before acting as his escort to where the lab was located.

"First things first, once the clone Pokemon have recovered, we need to get them out and away from any more prying eyes. That will at least give Mewtwo some peace of mind knowing his family are not harmed. As for the lies... Where are your other buddies?" Dr. Wily II asked.

Meowth grumbles as he rubs the back of his head, "Well...to be honest, I kinda was intending to gather them in order to help drive away Team Rocket before they attempt to capture Mewtwo and his friend while blinded by that brainwashing accusation.  I just didn't think that card Carr took from us would be able to copy part of the Transform abilities used by Dittos, and now that this has happened, it's almost a given that Team Rocket will take advantage of the fiasco to reclaim ownership along with Mewtwo, using whatever information and sources are hidden in their base to outweigh the good Mewtwo has done and the friendship he shares with that green-haired trainer.  And I have a feeling, since they know more about Mewtwo than she does, it'll take no less than a single trial snatch ownership out of her hands...."

Quickie frowned again and dropped her gaze to the table.  "I don't suppose Wily could take ownership of him..."  She sighed. "Mewtwo didn't intend to cause that explosion.  He just focused too much energy into it.  It's another long story, and it'd be best to hear it from Wily, but Mewtwo was trying to help him.  Wily told Mewtwo to use Disable on him, which he did.  He just focused too much energy into it and it blew up.  He didn't mean to cause that much damage."

Jenny compresses her lips in concern, "I'm afraid that, by law, Mewtwo must be returned to the leader of the organization, not the division responsible for creating it.  He invested its study, experiments, and creation, therefore he has more knowledge of what it is capable of, and means of controlling it, than even the scientists assigned to execute the project.  At trial, he will be the most possible candidate to represent the organization that is fighting for Mewtwo's return, and if he wins by evidence alone, he will be the only one that will relieve ownership from you regardless of how much it refuses to cooperate."

She brings her folded fists towards her lower face, but doesn't press it against her lips, "All of the accusations to prove that Mewtwo didn't know what he was doing will only weigh against your right to control it.  You weren't present when the explosion went off, and the accusation of its creator begging him to unleash that powerful Disable spell may easily be chalked up as more 'mind tricks' during the midst of the attack being unleashed.  Ergo, your 'inexperience' during the the two incidents it was caught in will only give the organization more reason to not only rip ownership off your hands, but ensure that it never sets foot in public without their leader firmly clutching whatever means of control he deems necessary to the safety and welfare of the populous."

Hierophant noticed BatGuy barging into the medical ward after a while.  Though it still wasn't in his best interest to impose if they weren't going to stick around, he should at least introduce himself so they don't start tearing the place apart looking for the leader.

He heads back towards the medical ward, though waits outside until the other introductions are out of the way.

Meowth crosses his arms and turns away from WilyII, "Judge me how you will.  As of right now, my only concern is saving Mewtwo from those outrageous lies Team Rocket seems adamant about sticking to as facts and going on a crusade because of them."

Meowth chuffs as he lifts his paw to lick himself, only to remember the bandage wrapped around his wrist, "After what I heard, no way!  I could have helped if that Raticate of a human didn't convince Jessie and James that Mewtwo is a brainwashing menace that enslaves any human it sees!"

"I don't have his number on me, though I guess I could call the Pokemon Center," Quickie shrugged.  She paused for a long moment.  "What's going to happen to Mewtwo?  He didn't intend for the damage in Fuchsia, and the fight on Route 11, he let his emotions get the better of him.  He was angry because some ex-goon from Team Rocket found his clones and brainwashed them..." she trailed off as another thought struck her. "What about his clones?  He's really concerned over them..."

Jenny seemed hesitant about what to say next concerning Mewtwo's welfare.

"Right now, he's being looked at by the Pokemon Institute and the rangers from the Pal Park in Fuchsia City," she said, "As for the clones, Nurse Joy called earlier and said they were being examined as we speak.  At the moment she has only reported damage caused by the fight between the clones that were under the green tailed Mewtwo's possession, and the ones that weren't, and she is keeping their presence safe from the public thanks to the person you pointed out earlier.  However, if the organization succeeds in proving their right to control Mewtwo, they may start pushing to apprehend his clones and perform their own examinations under written accordance of the law.  You may end up having to go to court in order to fight this, but since the organization clearly has more information and source material than you do, there's a grim possibility you might lose and have to personally return Mewtwo to them, regardless of how much it doesn't want to."

It wasn't long before Hierophant reaches one of four medical wards on the left side of the transport room, one of which is occupied by BatSakura and Spider-Blues.

They appear to be having a conversation about privacy.  He didn't want to intervene in such a deep conversation, and believes the spider-dressed adolescent can handle her predicament, so he decides to move on towards the elevator to the lounge where the only conscious soul was hanging out at.

"Well...we'll have to talk to this 'Archie' after we're done here," Jenny begins, "As for his creator, we'll send someone from our unit to escort him here as quietly and docile as possible.  If you have his phone number, I suggest giving him a heads up so he doesn't get startled by the sudden appearance of the official."

"Team Rocket...." Jenny mulls over, "According to my sisters and cousins, their head is the gym Leader of Viridian City before an incident drove him into hiding.  And according to several of their encounters with the organization, it almost seems that you had every right to protect Mewtwo from their ruthless antics."

She pauses a moment while rubbing her temple, "But unfortunately, they seem to have presented the paper work that proves Mewtwo is their property, and that you stole them while they were in the midst of 'honing' his psychic powers.  So in the eyes of the law, they have all they need to prove their right to reclaim Mewtwo if it continues to cause problems under your watch."

She then folds her hands and places them back on the table, "However, there may be a way to reverse this situation, provided you have ANY evidence that proves it left of its own accord and chose you to be its trainer regardless of the damage it had caused recently.  I must advise, however, that any evidence must NOT belong to Mewtwo, more because the organization laying claim to its welfare are pretty adamant that it can easily alter anything it comes across with a simple thought; equipment, electronics, even the thoughts of humans and Pokemon alike."

Jenny nods as she lets the recorder run its course and she focuses on each of the sketches presented to her.

"We haven't been given much information on Mewtwo's origins, only that the organization claiming to own it is blaming you for stealing it, and judging by all the accusations that have been going on in both Fuchsia and here, they're fixing to press charges for Pokemon theft and are demanding you personally hand it back to them forthwith."

Jenny folds her hands as they continue to rest upon the desk, "We're doing all we can to try and disprove their claims, but if they fork over anymore evidence to prove you wrong, we may have no choice but to comply and insist you give it back to them, not just for the sake of the law, but for safety measures too since the majority of the city seems to think you have no control over Mewtwo as of the explosion in Fuchsia, and the mayhem between Route 11 and Vermilion.  If you're really insistent on keeping it away from the organization demanding its return, it's important that you provide as much information as possible to show that the organization doesn't deserve Mewtwo anymore than you or anyone else that claims they could handle it's 'wayward' powers."

Officer Jenny sighs in frustration as she sits down and plops a recorder on the table, "I'm sorry, because of that fight earlier, we're extremely short-staffed and couldn't find anyone to record what you might have told that officer earlier.  I'm afraid you're going to have to repeat it so we can have it played back to the Institute and the officials guarding Mewtwo."

No sooner had the door closed in the interrogation room, James quickly zips towards the door next to it, peering through the one-way mirror as Jenny hits the record button and scoots the mic over to Quickie.  He barely noticed Yamask slip in as he shuts the door, still holding Yan-Yan in his curled hands while the Hanged Man remains plastered on its mask.

"The only fault is yours for not paying attention when I slid the chair over to you," James retorts, "When you ask for something, always pay attention when someone decides to toss it to you."

"Alright, that's enough!" orders a familiar voice.

Officer Jenny marches into the room and addresses James, too focused on Quickie to recognize James under the shades and hat, "Officer, go take a break.  After what I've heard outside, you deserve it."

James happily salutes, "With pleasure, madam."

He then makes his way out, keeping his arms behind his back while sticking his tongue out at Taylor, which was once again missed by the preoccupied Jenny.

Wobbuffet yelps as the noise blares over the intercom, causing it to run about the captain's chambers while wailing its name like a yapping puppy.  Jessie squeals as the unbearable noise and scrambles under the desk to get as much quiet as possible while Synthis dropped to the floor and pinned his leaf-like ears to the ground to drown out as much of the noise as its dense tissue could block out.

Chariot, unfortunately, was caught between throwing his helmet off to cover his hears and looking around for something to close off any noise from the bridge.  He quickly runs over to a nearby console next to the window and begins fiddling with the buttons to figure out which one turns on noise cancelling.


"I'm not supposed to leave the room anyway," James huffs, "So you're going to have to wait until the person interrogating your friend comes back before you start complaining."

Posu and Nega directed traffic to get the thawed Clefa and Clefairys to the bottom of the mountain before they get caught in the cave in while Ryo rushes back to the top of the mountain to try and help the distressed aura he sensed earlier.

Once there, he froze in surprise as a Shiny Charizard lay curled around a horribly deformed Julia.  Though he sensed some hostility from the Charizard, the safety of it and the scientist was his main priority and quickly gets in front of the Charizard to inform it of the situation and plead for it to take the scientist somewhere safer.


The jostling foundation snapes Jessie out of her stupor as she scrambles to her feet.

"Eek!  What happened!?  Are we falling!?"

Chariot and Synthis panic as they pounce Jessie to the ground, the knight clapping his hand around her mouth.

"You wanna be the second victim of a mad scientist's ambition, you better keep your mouth shut and stay put!" he hissed.

Jessie, stubborn and unaware of what had been going on since she was Heavy Metaled into unconsciousness, continues to fight against Chariot and Synthis' restraints, wiggling her hand towards one of her Pokeballs and knocking it loose from her pocket.

Unfortunately, the Pokeball released Wobbuffet, who had been in the same, nonchalant stance since last being let out.

"Wobbuffet...."

Jessie lets out an exasperate whine before dropping her head back onto the ground.

Hierophant sighs as he leans back in his command chair, "Right...so now what...?  Do we take them back to base, or let them rest and release them when they're good and ready...."

"Since there isn't anything serious going on, you can go ahead and get acquainted with the heroes," Ittetsu said, "I'll start making preparations for returning to base, and await any further orders in case some of the heroes want to be sent back home after they've recovered."

Hierophant nods as he gets up and heads out of the bridge, heading down to the stomach area to see who he would encounter on his way to the transportation room.

A few minutes into waiting for the others to come back, Hierophant and the mix-match Pokemon eventually hear distant commotions drawing closer to the area.  Looking towards the sky, they find Tarot Skitty chasing Yamask around, throwing Shadow Balls and Will-O-Wisps at it while it used the telekinetic powers of the Hanged Man card to knock them away.

"Oh no...." Hierophant mutters as he jumps onto Excalibur, "We better stop them before one of those projectiles hit the station!"

Excalibur barks as he leaps into the air, flapping his Moltres-shaped wings to catch up to the Houdour fight.

Yamask catches sight of the oncoming Shiny Arcanine and quickly turns one of its curled hands towards him, causing him to freeze in place as the Spirit Pokemon about's face and throws him towards Tarot Skitty, knocking Hierophant and Genbu off while catching the Skitty-headed Robot Master by surprise before colliding with the unwitting, furry projectile and sending both falling towards the ground.

Hierophant quickly pulls his staff out and points it into the air while Grabbing Genbu by the rock side of his shell, "FLOAT!"

his staff glowed before splitting apart and planting themselves into his back, forming a pair of white wings which he quickly flaps to slow his descent back towards terra firma.  Once on his feet, they hear a crash and look to find Tarot Skitty crushed under a dazed and disoriented Excalibur, the impact accidentally squeezing Yan-Yan out of its mouth and reverting it back to its expressionless Skitty form.  They try to catch up to Yan-Yan only for the card to be flung off the ground and into Yamask's hand, quickly turning and fleeing into the station.

"Not again...!" Hierophant groans, wanting to run after the fleeing Pokemon, but instead turns his focus back towards Excalibur and the now wayward Tarot Skitty and runs over to tend to their new predicament.

During that time, Quickie had resumed her sketching and had since finished a sketch of James.  She wasn't paying close attention to what James was saying, and thus didn't reply.  Instead, she changed the subject, turning to a blank page to draw some more. "I don't treat him like a Pokemon.  I treat him like a person.  The circumstances of one's birth, how one looks, how one's brain is wired, whatever label is attached to them... those are all irrelevant.  What one does with their life determines who they are.  Their past may help define them, how they perceive the world, but their past should not control them.  Their past is not who they are, just as what they look like or what they're called is not who they are."  She glanced up for a moment. "I may have come from a broken home, my view of society may be skewed by my experiences, and how my brain is wired may impact how I see things, but all of those are not who I am.  I am more than a label.  Mewtwo is more than a label.  We all are more than the labels that society attaches to us."  Falling silent again, she returned to her sketching.

"I treat all my Pokémon as equals as well, talking to them like they're people and stuff. They seem to respond a lot better like that... The only reason they're in these damn balls here is because of protocol... My friends here seem to have caused enough trouble, and I'd hate to be the cause of more..." Taylor added. "And you, uh, got another chair or somethin'? My back is killin' me..."

James snorts and kicks a nearby chair towards Taylor, "You two seriously need to take a glimpse into common sense.  Very few Pokemon have the ability to speak the human language by means other than vocal, therefore it's hard for a Pokemon to approach civilization without someone calling it a threat and sending someone OTHER than a trainer to capture it and make sure it behaves like a typical house pet."
