(Not that I'm aware of.  As far as I'm concerned, given Ash's Pikachu may not be the only Pokemon that hates being put inside a Pokeball, the Pokemon Center may have no size limit aside from how well they can fit through the door, though that was probably my personal assumption)

Ryo, Posu and Nega noticed Ahrzyal show up and casually walk over to check up on her.  Merrick, although still distracted by WilyII's personality conundrum, decides to follow after them to check on her himself, having not gotten a chance to ask Hierophant how she was feeling after being told the horrible truth by the insanely creepy scientist.  He keeps his hands behind his back to appear as normal as possible so as not to raise any concerns with what he had witnessed during his time glued to WilyII's back.

Merrick attempts to look towards Wily while still keeping the back of his card facing him, realizing the ominous aura had returned, but currently feels he couldn't do anything about it without staying on his back for a lot longer than either of them were willing to tolerate.

The group eventually made it outside, accompanied by Synthis and Genbu who encountered them after heading back to the borrowed quarters to get Hierophant's magical duffel bag, quickly noticing Chariot and his crew heading north of the city.  While Merrick and the cheering trio stayed behind, more bothered by what had been going on than wanting to wait for everyone else, Hierophant, Synthis and Genbu trot out to catch up with the high-spirited knight upon noticing Tarot Skitty sprawled across Excalibur's back.

"You got Tarot back?" Hierophant asked.

"It wasn't easy," Chariot grumbled, "But considering how banged up that dwarf and his Pokemon were, it wasn't too hard for Danny to break loose and fly into Tarot's mouth."

"What about the other cards?"

"That was the hard part," Chariot growls while rubbing the back of his helmet in frustration, "Danny tried to get the other cards back, but that Skarmory fought back and took off before he could get any closer from where he jumped into Tarot.  Which means once that dwarf gets his energy and senses back, he'll most definitely come looking for Mewtwo and force him under his control."

Danny lands on Chariot's shoulder, "Let him try!  We got Tarot Skitty back!  Once he shows up, we'll use it to rip the cards right off his and his Pokemon's body, then he'll be just as powerless as the rest of those Team Rocket grunts!"

"I hope we can even get that far," Hierophant sighs, "Things had gotten hectic on that ship that barely anyone's been able to sleep through the night."

Chariot humphs before shoving his hand into Hierophant's back and pushing him towards the entrance at the north end of the city, "Looks like you could use a little sightseeing then.  Since the Safari Zone has been replaced by some attraction called a Pal Park, there's bound to be something there that'll ease your mind until that other fiasco pokes his demented head in."

Hierophant tries to protest, but the rambunctious knight continues to push him towards the entrance, prompting the more exasperate grass Pokemon to follow suit, hoping this would help them unwind rather than crashing in the Pokemon Center for the night.

(Fixed my end of the post concerning the Fxenidome's location)

Chariot poked his head out one of the broken windows of the abandoned building, seeing Vixy trudge through an outnumbered fight with the Rabid Mets while several of the citizens were running scared, some not even attempting to make a beeline for the Fxenidome entrance.

As he was contemplating moving somewhere else and finding a different problem to fend off, one of the Rabid Mets spot him and charge towards him, scheming to jump through the window and gnaw on his ankles.  Not wanting his negative Blood of Swords to draw attention and rile everyone into attacking him in another blind assumption that he was the cause of this infestation, he thrusts his elbow at the oncoming Met, bashing it into another crowd of mets and confusing them into attacking each other.

Several more Mets began to surround him, all of whom smart enough to find the entrance and waddle their way in to find an ankle to chew on.  Chariot twists his upper body away from the Mets while hovering his hands together and charging up another energy attack which he thrusts at the oncoming Mets, but instead of a straight beam, the energy became a 7ft sphere surrounding him and knocking back any Mets that slammed into it.  Some tumbled into other Mets and provoked them to attack out of retaliation, giving the silver knight opportunity to leap out the window and climb up the brick structure to the roof where the rest of the Rabid Mets wouldn't reach him.

This would have been his cue to run off and find something else to exert his frustration on, but decides to stick around and watch the Fxenidome just to be sure the lone defender would be able to fight off the oncoming swarm until the rest of the Resistance shows up to at least try to overturn WilyII's fibbing scheme.

Though distrustful that it has completely vanished, Merrick decides he shouldn't keep lingering on WilyII's back, knowing that someone other than Hierophant and his Pokemon would be  point out his presence and prompt the seemingly manipulated doctor into prying him off.  He slowly and quietly pulled himself loose and slinks back over to said group, hoping his departure hasn't reopened the psychological scar gashed into his conscience.

Hierophant eyed Merrick's departure before turning his attention back to WilyII, "We should hurry, then.  Everyone should be near the exit by now."

He then escorts the trio towards their intended destination, though Merrick remains slow to follow, looking back towards WilyII before eventually picking up speed.

Whatever was controlling WilyII seemed to have retreated after Merrick intensified his White Magic, but the fact the card still hasn't left his person seems to indicate that he noticed something left behind by that source that he feels he should observe and figure out some way of getting rid of it without reawakening his eerie change.

Hierophant felt it was best to leave the situation to Merrick and scratches the back of his head, "Well, we're at Fuchsia City right now, and there's a Pokemon Center close by.  Maybe you could rest some more there if they don't let you stay here a while longer."

Hierophant arrived in time to see WilyII limp out of the room, seeming even more out of it than usual with the exception of what appears to be a smirk protruding from the near obscurity of his mustache.  Though he should trust Merrick's decision to stay glued to his back, he couldn't help but wonder how he was feeling at the moment.

"Is everything okay, doctor?" he asked.

Back inside the darkness of WilyII's back, Merrick sees the Tarot Energy representation of Death becoming distracted by the intrusion of his White Magic.  It didn't seem to be doing enough to drive it away, but perhaps he could keep it busy until someone with similar conscience-reading abilities becomes aware of the oppressive personality and use a powerful means of driving it out.

Merrick concentrates harder on his staff and the card transferring its magical energy towards healing the conscious, causing the edges to glow brighter and catch Hierophant's attention that something was seriously wrong.

This should have been his time to act, but with only him and the cheering Pokemon around to witness the suspicious nature protruding from WilyII, he didn't want to risk provoking the unknowingly shifting doctor into attacking him and endangering his responsibilities.  Reluctantly, he keeps his distance from the doctor and allows him to continue onward, moving to bring his hands together in preparation of forming his staff in case he does get jumped on.

Hierophant watched as Ahrzyal eventually made her way back to the bridge, still feeling down about the sudden shock of her true origins.  He looks towards Ryo, Posu and Nega as they followed after her, stopping a moment to glance towards him before continuing onward, prompting him to follow after just to make sure she was feeling better.

They arrived just outside the bridge, watching as the only trusting member of her crew, Julia, doing a better job of calming her down before the two embraced in what seemed like a forgiving hug before making their way out of the room.  As he was preparing to escort the cheering trio out of the way, he notices Mewtwo appear on the other end, watching as the two came out.

He seemed to be staring at Ahrzyal, most likely wanting to talk to her telepathically, before disappearing down the corridor.  He wanted to say something himself, but it seemed everyone took all the available morals and he would only be parroting what they had already said, so he figures it was best to just smile towards her presence and take the cheering trio to locate the rest of the trainers that had boarded the ship since the fiasco back at Stone Town.

He decides to stop by Wily's quarter's first, as he remembered that Merrick hadn't left his person since that incident in the engine room.  He seemed to be bothered by something lurking withing Wily's conscience and didn't want to leave until he uncovered what it was and possibly drive it out of his soul.  Hierophant can only hope whatever that entity is hasn't noticed the card and attempt to rip it off in the most violent way possible.

James and Meowth compressed their lips in concern while Jessie slams her foot on the table and pumps her fist for what seemed like the third time.

"Don't you fret!  We'll make sure that horrid experiment feels exactly how we suffered when it tried to destroy our only means of surviving in this wretched economy!"

She then grabs her two cohorts and hauled them out of the room, intending to put their so-called "plan" into action.

The sound of screaming citizens woke Chariot as he had passed out near one of the abandoned buildings after outrunning most of the citizens that recognized him as the "mood-altering knight sent by the Resistance to further cause mayhem and anguish with his mere presence".

Running to the source, he finds a series of Rabid Mets ganging up on the confused, terrified citizens, each one gnawing at their ankles while many seemed fixed to blame it on the Resistance for not acting fast enough to stop them, and quickly notices that he crashed near the Fxenidome where they were being led to for safety and shelter, though the intention of the citizens who have yet to notice the fiasco in the back didn't come here to accept Vixy's offer to take shelter inside, but rather tear it to shreds as another one of their blind, manipulated ambitions to drive the Resistance further out of their city.

Chariot grits his teeth; his wants to help the citizens and beat back the Mets, but Hajime was still working on the Wily Star II, not to mention his flawed Tarot System would only lead the citizens below to attack him alongside the Mets regardless of whether they knew he was helping them or not.  Reluctantly, he stays inside the abandoned building, wracking his brain for solutions that won't get him and the rest of his friends and companions in trouble.

Hearing Domino claim that Mewtwo is a manipulator almost made Meowth jump out from under the table and protest only to be slammed back to the floor by Jessie's foot against his back.

"I'll tell you how she acted," she seethed, "Like a whiny little brat; shoving pictures into our face while claiming he trusts her as a trainer and insisting we help her get him back just because he claimed we had helped him fight off our own organization when we spent the majority of this conflict behind bars!"

She pumps her fist to the point of forcing a vein through the back of her glove, "I was happy to put the little upstart in her place if it meant keeping that abomination of an experiment in Team Rocket's mitts long enough to get their vengeance and show him why no one, Pokemon or human, messes with the likes of Team Rocket!"

Meowth turned his head towards his aggravated, female companion, unsure of what she was thinking putting Team Rocket's cruel ambitions before someone she obviously respects as an individual, but is too outwinded and terrified of what might happen to object to her tirade.

The two stared at the photo as Meowth continues to sink further under the table.  Though Jessie glares at the photo with infuriating jealousy, James confidence began to fall into the same category as Meowth, becoming unsure of how far Domino was going to push their memory until they uncover the other trainers that were with Mewtwo.

"Is...is that you during your high school years...?" James mutters nervously towards Domino.

The trio cringe and look to each other, realizing that if they kept up the farce any longer, they'd be forced into the same session which would only result in more embarrassment and lack of involvement in future Team Rocket scandals.

James eventually muffles a growl and springs to his feet, pumping his fist in aggravation, "Alright fine!  If you really must know, we were intending to steal Mewtwo back after finding out what he did to the boss, but we got sidetracked by that no-good numbnut, Carr, who stole the cards we've been using to steal the Pokemon in that town!"

Meowth irks nervously as Jessie bounces up and pumps her fist in equality.

"That's right!  That traitor, Carr found that floundering white Skitty and used it to rip the cards off our backs!" she protests, "If it weren't for him, we would have used the power those cards granted us to restrain that abomination and haul him back to our boss to be properly punished for his crimes!"

Meowth struggles not to cringe as he slowly attempts to duck under the table to avoid forcefully agreeing with his human companions.

The trio struggled not to spit-take at the mention of said "cloning experiment".

"Cloning...experiment...?" James mutters.

"Wh...whatever do you mean...?" Jessie mutters as well, "We don't remember anything other than using the cards we found to steal the Pokemon in that town...."

"Yeah...." Meowth murmurs, "Just castin' spells and picking any Pokeballs that were thrown at us....  That's all we can recall...."

Both Jessie and Meowth swallowed hard while James ignorantly took the cup handed to him and chugs it down with careful vigor, aware that it was still hot, their foreheads blue with exasperation at where Domino might be getting at.

"How much more...?" Meowth mutters nervously.

James gingerly reached for one of the cups only to have it snatched by Jessie.

"Just usual Team Rocket business is all," she stated bluntly while swiping the bag of chips and tearing them open to gobble down, "Wander into town, steal any Pokemon we find before some powerful trainer shows up and blasts us into the next part of town."

James stares at her jealously before reaching for the other cup of coffee and chips only to see them hogged by Meowth, who poured the entire contents into his mouth before chugging down the coffee to help wash down the jagged, salty crumbs.  Groaning in disappointment, he drops his head on the table, waiting to pass out from hunger.

Jessie humphs and turns her head away while grumbling, "You're real funny...."

James merely sighed as he stares at the snack and coffee that were in Domino's hands.  They hadn't eaten since they were apprehended, and as much as he wants to think this was some ploy to get some answers out of them they wanted to save for Giovanni, the sight and smell were too overwhelming for him to take any further consideration than that.

Meowth, meanwhile, occupied himself by grooming his scraggled fur.  Though this was something he had grown out of since learning to talk and behave like a human, with his two "trainers" too busy moping and fuming, he only had his own bristled tongue to do most of the work.  The one part of his body he couldn't lick was his charm; a golden beauty requires more than a slobbering piece of muscle to bring out its shining gloss.

Well, aside from the Treasure Hunting RP I was contemplating in the past (Alongside the Mario Party RP I'm still working the concept of), we could do an RP version of the Road Trip that was in Comic Jam.  It's also inevitable that a comical-themed RP will eventually turn dark, but I still believe that the storyline will eventually turn back to its campy, lighthearted self.

As for the musical concept, I'm still debating whether I should have my characters involved.  Tarot Cat and its deck all have their own themes straight from the Magical Drop game, and I haven't used much of Hajime or Blazkrieg since I came back, so I doubt you'd understand enough about their personality to use.  But if nothing else, there's still their profile in Neo Origins if you want to come up with some kind of musical concept for their inclusion.

Eh, I'm not one for card games anyway.  Besides, there's already someone in the Yu-Gi-Oh universe who owns a deck based on Tarot Cards and I'm already having a hard time coming up with abilities for the remaining Major Arcana I haven't introduced in the two RPs I've joined so far.

Ryo stops a few inches from Ahrzyal, remaining nonchalant, but at the same time unable to do more than feel concern for the rippling anguish escaping her being.  The atmosphere around her was becoming near unbearable, but he struggles to stay stoic as he moves closer to her and wraps his arms around her, using his Helping Hand to try and calm her down.

Posu and Nega stay in the background, looking between Ryo's selfless attempts to calm her down and each other before putting on a tough face and racing through the frozen surface, bouncing over Ahrzyal and landing around her as they locked paws with Ryo and used their own variations of Helping Hand to strengthen her calmness while nuzzling towards her to show their own sympathy towards her shocking revelation.

Not long afterwards, Hierophant shows up, seeing the trio within the pink glow, but deciding it was best to wait and see how she reacts to their kindness before stepping in to further rectify the situation.

Ryo, however, was more focused on the ripples of anguish and confusion that were coming from the near end of the ship, knowing they belonged to Ahrzyal.  He looks to Posu and Nega, who nod in agreement and heads off to follow those ripples.  But upon getting to the source of the ripples he comes to a screeching halt, almost causing the two cheering Pokemon to collide with him.

The area appears to have been blanketed in frost, and the air has turned frigid, no doubt from the arctic powers that insane doctor claimed she possessed.  They soon notice a pink glow further down the frosty environment.  They look to their fur, knowing they could withstand the near unbearable frigidness making up most of the area Ahrzyal had confined herself to, but worries that they could end up freezing themselves if they ventured any closer to her.

Ryo looks back towards Posu and Nega, barking something to the equivalent of this being part of their training to become the first members of Blazkrieg's Pokemon Cheering Squad division and starts making his way towards Ahrzyal, struggling to ignore the sensation of low oxygenated, freezing air.  Posu and Nega look to each other before following after him, though touching the frozen floor caused them to yelp and stumble back to warm terrain, watching somewhat helplessly as their leader continues towards Ahrzyal.


Hearing Mewtwo mention Ahrzyal being at the landing bay, he quickly realized that the Cheering trio had also disappeared to that area, most likely following the ripples left behind by Ahrzyal's emotions.  He quickly gets up and makes a run for the location, more the make sure they were okay than being concerned for their decision to head over there without the others knowing.

Hierophant thought on Mewtwo's idea.  Changing Steiner's personality would stop him from going anymore insane that he already was, but then there's still Team Rocket and their hypnotherapy.  If whoever was in charge of it could tap into the deepest minds to extract a memory Mewtwo effortlessly pushed out of their conscience, what's to stop them from doing the same to the scientist and enacting the same scenario that would have happened if his memory was wiped clean.

"If it does work, we should also figure out a way to keep him away from Team Rocket until the new personality becomes deep-seeded into his conscience," he said, "If any one of them recognizes him, they could apprehend him and drag him back to their base to undergo the same hypnotherapy that regained their memories of your existence, and then it'll be like what could happen if his memory was erased completely."

"I'm sure erasing his mind of Ahrzyal's existence would be the best solution," Hierophant said, sounding deep in thought, "But after I heard the trio mention you erasing their organization's memory after a previous encounter, I began wondering what they used to regain those memories, or how many members of Team Rocket know about Ahrzyal's origins.  If she's just as important to Team Rocket's ambitions as you and perhaps Tarot Cat and its deck, and their boss decides to bail that scientist out of jail, they could use the same method to refresh his memory and make him remember how he wound up there in the first place.  And considering how crazy he was when we stopped him from blowing the entire ship up, realizing that he not only lost what he considers his 'treasure', but thinks we're tarnishing her with what he thinks she shouldn't be mingling in, he could snap and start hunting us down with intents far worse than what he almost caused in the engine room."
