Wear a carpal tunnel brace while playing.  It keeps your wrists straight.

I don't have to wear one while typing, as I don't move my wrists when I type.  I type with two fingers and "hover" over the keyboard, so the most I get is tennis elbow from repetitive elbow movements. :P

She looks like she just woke up.

She did.  I tried to get the pic while she was sleeping, but she can hear my joints crack when I move. :P

"And all I have are these three," Quickie nodded curtly.  "They're my friends, and friends stick together.  Friends help each other.  Friends fight together."  She got to a crouch and pet Mabel and Phoenix, who came bounding over.  "C'mon down, Blanc, you're part of this family, too." 

Blanc flew down to Quickie and she got them in a huddle.  "You guys did great, but we're not done yet.  Obviously, we're outmatched.  But, we're not going down.  Our best strategy right now is to focus our attacks.  Jessie's riled up, focus on her.  James and Meowth aren't our main problem right now, but if they get involved, just knock them out of the way.  We can't break our focus on Jessie, the others are just distractions."  She quickly looked behind her, then returned to the huddle.  "Of course, when we go up against the big boss, they're not going to play fair, and you know what?  Neither should we."  She smirked.  "If the opportunity presents itself, go after Jessie."

Currently, in the Pokemon RP, Mewtwo could very well lay waste to Team Rocket's lair and leave.  Just nuke if from where he stands and leave.  But, that would be far too easy and uninteresting.  So, I had him conveniently "forget" to do that.  Instead, I'm presenting him with challenges.  Domino has organized her strike team, and they know that they're unmatched against Mewtwo.  They know that he can just blow the whole place up with but a nod.  But, they also know that he's still a living thing, and thus they can still stop him.  Even if they have to cheat and just load up with assault rifles.

Those are checks and balances.  Mewtwo could just wink everyone out of the room and make them all forget everything, and then teleport himself and the other characters away with minimal effort.  But, as I said, that's not fun.  Your character can do a hell of a lot more damage than Mewtwo, and take Mewtwo out while he's at it.  But, no one can stop your character except another one of your characters, whereas other characters can stop Mewtwo with varying methods.  The fact that no one else but your characters have your character's weakness is where the problem lies.

RPing with powerful characters can be fun, particularly if you need to figure out how to take them down in an efficient manner.  It makes you think differently about the situation and come up with interesting solutions to the challenges presented.  But, if no one can even stand a chance, it loses its fun, as the challenge can't be overcome whatsoever, except by one of your characters.

"Come on, Wily!" Ahrzayl yelled. "We've got to go!"

Ahrzayl proceeded to backtrack, looking out for security that would be headed their way. She put her hand up to her earpiece.

"Julia! Is the ship ready for flight?" She asked.

"Ahr, what's going on? The alarms are blaring from below. Is everything okay?" Julia asked worriedly.

"Yes, everything's fine. It's just test day today so make sure that once I'm on board, we take off immediately." Ahrzayl explained.

"Um, yes ma'am. Steiner is on board as requested too."

"Good. Stand by until I give the go, alright?"

"Okay. See you soon Ahr."

Ahrzayl didn't want to get those two involved but she couldn't stand the thought of them working for Team Rocket any longer. Mewtwo wasn't the only one they'll be rescuing today. She turned the corner with Wily and Mewtwo and headed for the elevator.


At that same time in the decon room...

The froslass coughed up the last bit of toxic fumes then rehinged its mouth. She wiped her mouth in disgust and hoped that would never have to be done again. With both missions completed, Froslynn knew she needed a nice rest. Not until they were in the skies though. She phazed through the floor and made her way back to the group.

As the elevator rose, Mewtwo stepped in front of Wily and Ahrzayl, motioning for them to stay behind him.  He tensed, watching the floors count down, readying himself for what awaited him at their destination.  With a lurch and a beep, the elevator stopped and the doors slid open.  Immediately, several laser sights were trained on Mewtwo, though he could not readily see who were holding the weapons.  

Around a corner, peering through her rifle's scope, Domino kept her aim steady.  "If it moves, shoot it."

"Let's add a little more challenge to our game; unleash another cloud of Mist!" Jessie commands.

Frillish spews out another surrounding of frosty white clouds, barely managing to out maneuver the oncoming Shadow Ball.

"Now launch another Shadow Ball and follow it up with Psychic!"

Frillish conjures up another Shadow Ball and throws it at Blanc before her eyes flashed white, attempting to freeze Blanc into place so the Shadow Ball can hit without fail.

Hierophant nods, "The one I have can cast healing and offensive magic" he then pauses a moment as he looks at his staff while scratching the back of his head, "Unfortunately, my first attempt at casting an offensive spell almost burnt down an entire building, so I've been holding off on any further practicing until I find a less hazardous place to work on my impact endurance."

Quickie gave a quick nod to Mabel and Phoenix.  There's your opening.

Without a sound, Mabel and Phoenix attacked, Mabel going for one side with Night Slash, and Phoenix flanking with Return.

"Blanc, you're the most capable of all of us, make Jessie eat her words,"  Quickie regained her balance and threw her gaze to the Togekiss.  "Keep pecking away at it, we can play Shadow Ping-Pong all day if we have to."  She snapped her gaze to Phoenix, her mouth set in a firm line.  "Look for an opening.  Take your time, look for an opening.  When you have one, launch a Return attack on that Frillish.  You can do it, Phoenix, I know you can."

Phoenix barked and set up a point watch, waiting for the right time to strike, as Blanc sent a barrage of Shadow Balls at Frillish.

"Mabel," Quickie nodded towards a spot on the battlefield. "I know, you're new at this.  So's Phoenix.  I've only been with you guys for a few days, but we have someone counting on us.  And we have to prove to him that we can fight for him.  We can't do a group attack, we need to focus our energies.  Take them out, one by one.  Go after anyone else who gets in your way, but your goal is taking down that Frillish.  And you can do that with Night Slash.  Wait for an opening, then go for it."

Mabel took up a point guard, poised and ready.

I'm also kicking around another little plot idea, but that won't come into play for a loooooong while.  But, at the very least, I can use Quickie's emphatic connection to her advantage.

Did you report it?  From experience, I can tell you that it doesn't mean that the bike will be returned, so it still sucks.  Go beat the hell out of everyone, then nuke it from orbit.  Just to be sure.

You know, I was kicking around the idea of perhaps borrowing at least some of Yellow's traits (from the Adventures manga) and giving them to Quickie, mainly the empathy thing.  To make up for her overwhelming lack of decent trainer skills with a connection to her Pokemon.

"I do it because I care," Quickie snapped off a curt nod toward Meowth.  "Phoenix, back off, Blanc, give Frillish a Shadow Ball.  Or two.  Your call."

"Blanc, fly out of there, now!"  Quickie looked to Mabel.  "You're up, girl.  Night Slash the Yamask.  Let Meowth have a few coins, as lord knows he can't make any himself."  She sneered at Meowth for a moment before she moved her gaze to Phoenix.  "Go ahead, give Frillish a nice Crunch."

Looks like I'll be keeping Mewtwo around for longer.

Or, I could switch it up with a different, slightly-less-pissy Mewtwo pic.  Any suggestions? 8D

"Blanc, target Frillish with a Shadow Ball!"  Quickie ordered as both Mabel and Phoenix went flying in two directions.  "Phoenix!  Use Return on Frillish!  Mabel, keep at Meowth!  Fury Swipes!  Hell, hit him with a Pay Day!  Bean him right between the eyes!  Show him how a true Meowth plays!"  She turned her glare to Meowth.  "A true Meowth.  Like your cloned brother."

Jessie was right.  Quickie may be a terrible trainer, but she has proven her mettle before.  And she can do it again.  So, she may be defeated, but she will not go down without a fight.  "Now, Blanc, while Meowth's distracted!  Aura Sphere!  You too, Mabel, get in there with another Night Slash.  Get that damn card out of his back.  We'll gang-beat him down if we have to!"

The Togekiss blasted a charged wave of energy toward Meowth, while Mabel scratched at his back.

"Phoenix, Crunch him again!"

Phoenix bit even harder.

The Hydro Pump soaked Mabel to the bone, and the Meowth looked even more scraggly and pathetic than she did when the battle started.  However, Quickie noted the effects of the Night Slash and quickly recalled Mabel.  "Phoenix.  Crunch."  Phoenix bounded for Meowth, teeth gleaming.  

Quickie looked to Jessie.  "I've never been a good trainer, hell, not even a passable trainer.  Never.  I could never do it.  But, you know what?  That didn't matter in the least.  Yeah, I'm shoddy.  But, Mewtwo didn't see that.  He didn't see my weaknesses and he didn't exploit my strengths.  He saw me for me.  And I saw him for him.  And before your boss came and took him, you know what he asked me to do?"  She straightened and folded her arms.  "He asked me to be his trainer, knowing full well that I am absolutely terrible at it.  That's how much confidence he has in me.  So, I can't let him down.  You can mop the floor with me, that's fine.  But, I'm still going after him."

"Pheonix, ease off, Mabel, Night Slash," Quickie motioned for the Flareon to return and for the scrawny Meowth to take the charge.  Mabel dodged the Bubble Beam, as it was not directed at her, and unsheathed her claws, leaping at Frillish with a shrill screech.

Hey, PB.  There's a Pokemon battle going on with your Flareon puppy.  Wanna join?  It's against Team Rocket, so rules are thrown out.

"Light things up, Phoenix," Quickie nodded, folding her arms calmly.  "Flame Charge."  She smirked as a malicious thought came to her mind.  "Don't be afraid to singe Jessie's hair."

The Flareon barked and engulfed itself in flames as it charged pell-mell for Jessie and Frillish's position.

Quickie had a hunch that her efforts would be futile and they'd send her back to the Pokemon Center with her tail between her legs, but she didn't care.  She had nothing to lose.  She just needed to get this battle out of the way so she can focus on her real mission.

Quickie merely narrowed her eyes.  "Your move."
