Perhaps Monday night, I'll show Star Wars to Mabel. She might just need a break from watching movies.

Quickie's gaze was fixed on the balloon overhead. Looks like they're up to one of their schemes... If Pyro can move, if he can disable them... perhaps we can get a hold of them...

I'm half-tempted to zombie-move Ahrzayl's characters just to get the plot moving.
Perhaps.
Later.
After we get some more Team Rocket action, this time with tarot cards!

Mabel just has no interest in watching stuff tonight, it seems. Can't even get her to watch Teen Titans.

"Long story, but they helped Mewtwo out when he was in a fix some years back," Quickie nodded.

Quickie came out of the Pokemon Center and looked up in the sky, seeing a Meowth-head balloon. "If that's who I think it is, we may be in luck." She looked to Pyro. "Mewtwo told me about them."

The Neg Gas, a lovely deus ex machina. That I can overlook, so long as it's not overused. As for the true villain thing... So long as it's done well, that wouldn't bother me too much, as it would allow continuation of the story without it becoming contrived. However, I take it that it's not being done well.

Just read it.
Yikes.
The weaknesses just don't balance the character out, as the ultimate destruction of the character would cause so much more collateral damage (if "at the cost of millions" means that Hazard would explode and vaporize millions of people around him). The character's power ensures that even getting to those weak points would be a hellish battle.
Here's the caveat. Superman is a god among man. Yet, kryptonite can take him down. But, this can take him down from a relatively safe distance. To get to Hazard's kryptonite, you either have to be a hellish crack shot, of blast your way through his defenses and hope you don't get cleaved in two before you even have a chance to get to his tails. And again, the massive collateral damage, should you hit his ultimate weak point, which would cancel out the effectiveness of targeting it. Why would anyone in their right mind go after what amounts to be a trigger for an atomic bomb, knowing that they'll be destroyed in the process?
Hazard requires a true weakness. Something that can be used at a safe distance, or doesn't require you to pick at him until he goes down. The tail thing isn't a weakness. You lop one off, and there are eight more, and thus plenty of means to take you out with but a thought. And Hazard will be protecting his weak points viciously.

Hoo boy, god-moding.
That was one of the things I was worried about with Mewtwo. He's damn powerful, and the group already has powerful characters in it. Like Pyro, the living embodiment of chaos personified. But, I looked at all the Giovanni trolling and realized that perhaps we were too powerful. However, the only element that was really under my control was Mewtwo.
Hence why he had to be removed for a bit. Granted, now the plot is weaving around getting him back, but at the time, Mewtwo needed to be taken out of the picture to allow Sapph's plot to progress. I'm currently working on another plot, but it requires the use of Mewtwo, which is another element I need to go through first. So, it's going a bit slowly, but I can jump-cut to getting that ball rolling in earnest.
It's one thing to have powerful characters. Personally, I'm iffy with powerful characters. So, I spend a lot of time making sure that there are checks and balances in place, even if it boils down to kicking the crap out of that powerful character just to bring them down to our level (sorry, Mewtwo).
But, god-moding? I haven't been paying any attention to the Wily RP, so I'm only aware of the situation by hearsay. Do you have any known weakness for your character? Or is this character the very definition of god-moding? Like I said, there are legitimately powerful characters, and it's fine to have one, but make sure that there are checks and balances in place to keep them from getting out of hand. Kick the crap out of them periodically, if you have to. Give them a foible. I balance out Giovanni with his rampant alcoholism.

I'll draft something up tomorrow. I've been meaning to, anyway, as I need to figure out moves for Quickie's new Pokemon, and list Mewtwo's moveset for easy reference.

In fact, she snuck quietly out into the living room and has been staring at me from the opposite corner.

Long story short: Quickie's still gathering Pokemon, and they have a... sort-of plan. Jessie, James, and Meowth are on their way for whatever reason (YAY Team Rocket! 
), and Pyro got Giovanni drinking again. Right now, the group has no real plan on how they're going to go after Mewtwo, so that's open. Also, if you have your own agenda with Obsidian, throw it in. The main storyline is slow.
