Kojiro turns his head to look towards Nurse Joy, but before he could register what she meant, his hand had already pushed the doors apart, causing the beams near the walls to cave in on him, barely burying his waist and leaving him face down on the dusty porch.  Mime Jr., who barely avoided the cave in, lands near Kojiro's head while poking it with innocent curiosity plastered on its face.

"Mime...?"

Having been through worse pain, Kojiro could muster nothing more than a muttering groan.

"Curse...that...Mewtwo...."

Seeing the commotion, Nurse Joy rushed over and helped Kojiro out of the rubble.  "I warned you!  The whole area is cordoned off, and we can't use these doors yet.  Are you all right?"


Back in the room, Mewtwo studied the unfamiliar Pokemon closely. "That sword is particularly interesting, as are all of them."  He glanced at the glaring Darunia and exchanged his own glare, his eyes flashing blue for a moment as he started to lift the Pokemon off of the floor, only to stop as Quickie entered.

Quickie closed the door and held up the baggie of pills.  "You want to take them yourself, or should I use the pill gun?"

Mewtwo scowled, removed the ice pack, and sat up slowly.  He reached for his cup of water and held out his hand.  "I will take them myself."

"Okay," Quickie dropped a couple pills into his palm, "though you know I'll want to check to make sure you're not cheeking them."

Mewtwo nodded and knocked back the pills, chasing them down with a swallow of water.  He then opened his mouth for Quickie to inspect. "Satisfactory?"

Quickie nodded. "Yeah, now get back to resting."  She took the cup and set it aside as Mewtwo laid down again.  Quickie looked to Taylor. "He gets... stubborn sometimes."

"I have my reasons," Mewtwo rolled onto his side and readjusted the ice pack.

I have a slight limp, but that's due to one leg being longer than the other.  I also have less-than-stellar hips!  But, that's not age-related.  I simply have bad hip joints due to loose ligaments.

Nurse Joy spoke up after tending to Quickie's request.  "Excuse me!  You can't go out that way.  The doors are going to be replaced soon, but you'll need to take the side entrance."  She looked back to Quickie. "These should help with its pain," she handed her a small bag of pills, "let me know if you need anything else."

"Will do, thanks," Quickie said quietly before slipping down the hall and back to her room.

Mewtwo craned his neck to study the unfamiliar Pokemon, the ice pack sliding off his head and hitting the floor.  He ignored it and rubbed his head.  It wasn't helping with the pain any, and it only served to make his brow feel cold.

Quickie picked up the ice pack and handed it to him.  "How's your head?"

"Hurts," Mewtwo muttered.

"I'll go see if Nurse Joy can give you anything for that, then," Quickie nodded and cautiously ducked out of the room, slowly and carefully making her way up the hall and toward the lobby.

"W-Well, we already know she is the trainer the police are looking for," Miles said, "P-Perhaps we could give the police her name and description. W-We could claim to be former clients of her restaurant."

He squirmed in his seat, "A-As for the boy. H-He seems to have these supernatural abilities that make capture d-difficult if not i-i-impossible. He even managed to n-negate the power of the Tarot cards."

"We're not equipped to go after the boy at this moment, so we're focusing on easier targets," Domino nodded. "Get on the horn with the media in Fuchsia and pass on the information you have.  Once they identify that trainer, the community will target her and apprehend both her and Mewtwo."  She paused.  "Oh, Mewtwo is stolen.  Throw that in.  Get them really riled up."  She sneered and dismissed him, before contacting Joe to pass the same information onto him.  Once it's all over the news that some trainer has a stolen Pokemon, the authorities will become involved.

"Just wanted to go over a few things with you," Domino nodded. "Right now, we're still not in a position to actively pursue Mewtwo itself, or any of the other intended targets, so at the moment, I have an agent in Fuchsia, trying to rally the community together to flush Mewtwo into the open.  If the community can apprehend it, then we can proceed from there.  The problem is--" she switched on a television set, showing a live report of a mob outside of the Pokemon Center "--it's getting out of hand far too early than I expected.  It's a small crowd, yes, and with the media coverage, we can spurn on other citizens to get the authorities involved, but that crowd right now could ruin our chances."

Domino stood and approached Miles. "What information have you gotten concerning our human targets?  We may be able to feed that information to the right people, particularly since those targets were involved in earlier incidences in Stone Town."

Meanwhile, back at Team Rocket HQ, Dr. Miles Zeigler sat in his cramped office, peering over various reports. He then looked over at his watch and rose from his seat to lock the door so that no one would disturb him. He picked up what appeared to be a bluetooth earpiece and inserted it his ear. Once he pressed the button at the center rim, he "transported" to what appeared to be a grotto complete with waterfall and ferns growing overhead. Technically speaking, he was physically in his office but the earpiece was in fact a psionic transmitter invented by the faction of Team Galactic led by Saturn. It was connected to an array of psychic Pokemon that acted as the "switchboard" that allowed for untraceable communication with his REAL superior.

"Greetings, Dr. Zeigler," a heavily muscular man with Asiatic features with a thin beard and mustache. He wore a black slacks and a partially unbuttoned shirt that revealed his biceps. He was Archie, late of Team Aqua and now leader of Team Gaia, "I trust you can provide us with information during Team Rocket's plans."

"Only a little," Miles said, "Team Rocket sent agents to observe Mewtwo. One of our agents in Celadon reported overhearing a unidentified trainer attempting agitate some trainers at Fuchsia City Pokemart after a combined earthquake and psychic discharge damaged the Pokemon Center and surrounding areas. Giovanni claims that he is brainwashing a trainer called Lexi Shanks and a small group of trainers that includes the leader of the Celadon City gym."

"Hmmm," Archie murmured, "I doubt Giovanni would really be concerned for the welfare of an anonymous trainer. Tell our agent in Fuchsia to continue monitoring the situation, but do not intervene unless necessary. We need to strike when Team Rocket makes its move."

"Yes sir," Miles said before he heard a knock. He pulled the transmitter from his ear and slipped it into his coat pocket before he opened the door (and was quietly thankful that he was transmitting his thoughts so no one could hear his conversation) to see who it was.

"Hello?"

Slade poked his head into the room. "Domino wants to see you in her office.  Has some things she'd like to go over."  With that, he turned and left.


Inside the Pokemon Center, Nurse Joy could hear the crowd.  Ducking under the police tape, she peeked through a crack in the plywood, seeing a crowd of people confronting Janine and two officers.  Heaving a sigh, she backed away and went to check the side door, half-tempted to lock it to prevent entry.

"If it comes down to it, I could supply a spare Poke Ball," Nurse Joy nodded, "but in terms of ratting those two out, I have no intention of doing so.  Accidents happen.  Pokemon will sometimes destroy things without meaning to.  It's just in their nature, particularly with powerful psychic types.  I've seen a lot of destruction since graduation, and while sometimes it is the trainer's fault, it's mainly a matter of the Pokemon not realizing their own strength."

"I'll talk to Janine to try to see if we can keep the police at bay before that happens but I'll talk to that Trainer so she understands, she was very concerned about her Pokemon." Sakura nodded.

"It might just be as simple as they want to see that trainer keep her Pokemon in a Poke Ball," Nurse Joy shrugged.  "As far as I know, that Pokemon doesn't have a Poke Ball and is allowed to essentially run loose.  I mean, I did treat it and speak to it, so I know that it is highly intelligent.  Pokemon like that are seen more as people, so I understand why its trainer doesn't keep it in a Poke Ball.  However, if it comes down to it..." she trailed off, shrugging again.

Nurse Joy nodded. "Patient-doctor confidentiality.  I have no plans to release any information regarding that Pokemon."  She sighed again. "However, I know that the police are looking for its trainer...  Again, I keep such information confidential, but if someone does spot her, I do urge her to come forward.  If she does, we may be able to stop this from becoming a riot."

Nurse Joy nodded. "Well aware.  Trainers are starting to hound me for information, and I already gave my statement to the police.  I'm not talking to reporters, as I have a job to do, and I can't just go wasting time with people who would sensationalize my words, anyway."  She shook her head and sighed. "Sorry, but last month, we had a small fire when an Arcanine sneezed.  About a week after that, I was pressured into enacting a new rule that fire types need to be inside Poke Balls at all times."

"Sure, sure," Quickie invited Taylor in, "alright, that's Mewtwo on the bed, Dr. Wily is one of his creators, and he's helping take care of him, and basically, we're hiding out."  She looked to the television. "Who turned that back on?"


Nurse Joy nodded and led Sakura to a room behind the counter. "What's wrong?"

Quickie nodded to Taylor. "Long story short, I'm the trainer the police are after, and the Pokemon's name is Mewtwo.  We would've left for Cerulean, but that explosion really sapped Mewtwo of his energy, so we're staying behind for a while.  He's the sick Pokemon I mentioned before in the lobby."  She sighed.  "He didn't mean to cause all the damage, it just happens."

In the lobby, Nurse Joy was cleaning up a few things after the three trainers had ran out.  She shook her head slowly as she dusted the countertop. "I don't need a mob in here..."

Quickie cautiously poked her head outside of the room. "What's going on?"

In the room, Mewtwo remained quiet, listening intently.  He had heard the trainers run by, and he also knew that they would not be the last to attempt to drive him out into the open.  Curiosity gnawed at him like his ever-present headache--he reminded himself to ask Quickie to inquire about a pain reliever--and he surreptitiously used his powers to turn on the television.

"--reports coming in from other viewing areas, claiming that the Pokemon responsible for today's explosion was spotted in Stone Town, first during a massive Team Rocket military operation, and then a few days later, participating in a battle that resulted in damage to the surrounding area.  Witnesses have come forward from those incidences, with some supplying photographic evidence.  In a moment, we will show you a picture of the Pokemon, taken while it was at rest in the Stone Town Pokemon Center, prior to the Team Rocket invasion..."

Mewtwo let out a loud groan as his headache got worse.  No rest for the weary...

It doesn't help matters that my medication makes me sensitive to the sun, so I'll be slathering on lots of sunblock.  And reapplying it every time I get out of the pool, unlike last time, when I forgot to do so.

I'll most likely still burn.

Perhaps I should bring a shirt and wear it over top...

"Some shifty looking guy who was saying that Mewtwo was dangerous.  I tried to tell him a Steelix was responsible for that hole, even though it's not true there are Steelix tracks there so it's believable, but he tried to convince me, Professor Birch's daughter even, that a [tornado fang]ing Disable could control a Steelix and make that hole and quake before Mewtwo used that Disable on you. 

Seriously a major dumbass, but it seems he may have convinced some people judging by the News saying Mewtwo was responsible for the hole on Route 14." Sakura grumbled.  "When people are pissed they'll believe anything."

"Not to mention that the police are looking for me, as I'm responsible for Mewtwo," Quickie shrugged.  She suddenly thought back to the fiascos in Stone Town.  "Oh crap, what if the prior fights come back to bite us, as Mewtwo was involved in those, too!"

"Indeed," Mewtwo nodded, "and I can assure you that I was most definitely seen there, both in battle and while at rest."

"Crap, crap, crap," Quickie began to pace. "You don't think Nurse Joy would squeal on us, do you?"
