Quickie woke up briefly, hearing the battle outside.  She rubbed her eyes, put her glasses on, and went outside to see Karen and Sakura battling.  Blinking a few times, Quickie shrugged, went back inside, and curled up on the bench.  Beside her, Mewtwo woke up.

"I hear a battle..."

"Yeah," Quickie nodded, "Karen and Sakura are battling.  Go back to sleep."  She pet Mewtwo, who dozed off.

I put my characters to bed, so I have nothing to add.  Unless I wake them up for some reason.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

But anyway, they look like something out of Yu-Gi-Oh.  And "generator butt" needs to a common name for their generator butts.

Quickie sat down on the bench beside Mewtwo and pet him while he dozed off.  She yawned and considered stretching out herself.  "Mewtwo's right; we could all use some sleep."  Standing, Quickie moved another bench over and dug through her bag for her sleeping bag.  Pulling that out, she unzipped it, climbed onto the bench, and draped it over herself and Mewtwo, who muttered something unintelligible.

(And with that, I'm off until later.)

Mewtwo nodded. "Yes.  Just need to rest."

"We can't sleep here in the middle of the floor, we'll trip up Nurse Joy," Quickie crouched and offered her hand.  "Come on.  Let's find you a place to lay down."

Mewtwo took Quickie's hand and pulled himself to his feet.  He staggered over to a bench and flopped down on it, utterly exhausted.

I had to look up Zekrom, as I didn't know entirely what he was, only that he had a generator butt.  The legendary generator butts are hideous.

Mewtwo leaned forward on all fours, breathing heavily.  The residual pain in his head was starting to fade, along with the tightness in his chest.  He couldn't detect the Alakazam's presence any longer.  Catching his breath, he looked at all of the other Pokemon around him.  "Thank you.  The attack has ended."

Quickie rushed over to him.  "You need to rest, now.  You had a busy day."

Mewtwo nodded.  "I dare say that we could all use some rest."

Writing evil is fun!  I'm enjoying the hell out of writing Team Rocket's darker side.  And Giovanni's alcoholism.  Because drunk evil.

(Ah, Generator-butt... )

Mewtwo took the hint and refocused his energy.  That Alakazam was going down.

In Viridian City...

The diagnostic equipment emitted an alarm and the scientist threw his gaze to Domino.  "We have to shut down, now!"

Domino was hesitant for a long moment, watching the dials creep into the red as AC-065-Σ strained against the psychic onslaught.  Finally, she relented.  "Shut it down.  I'll radio Giovanni."

Quickly, the scientist disengaged AC-065-Σ's connection, and in the chamber, the Alakazam's body slumped as its neural feed was deactivated.  Immediately, another technician entered the chamber to assess the creature's condition.  The scientist awaited a response, and then turned to Domino.  "We shut down just in time.  Any longer and we would have lost it."

Domino's lips were set in a firm line.  They had already lost something far more valuable.  Though, they had learned more information.  Mewtwo has friends on his side.

I heard that Microsoft will be doing similar things with their next Windows release.  If that's the case, people would be migrating to Mac and Linux in droves, or simply not upgrading, ever.

At least, that's what I like to think.  I've seen the dark side of the average computer user.  They're attracted to new, shiny things like moths to a porch light.

(Giovanni will be coming back... after his latest drinking binge.  I have plans for him when he shows up, but after that, Obsidian can drop by.)

Mewtwo forced himself back to a crouch, panting heavily.  His head hurt, his chest hurt, and his stomach continued to lurch.  But, he had a job to do.  He had to maintain focus.  Ignoring the pain and tightness, he maintained his link with the Alakazam.  He had to give the others more time...

It's cloudy outside.  Looks like rain, though the radar says otherwise.

(I'm rolling dice for this.  High rolls, the Alakazam goes for the brain.  Low rolls, it goes for the heart.  Rolling a 1d6... 2.  Time for chest pains!)

In the Pokemon Center, Mewtwo grabbed his chest and pitched forward.

Domino leaned over the scientist's shoulder, scrutinizing the list of commands.  "Psycho Cut.  Focus the attack."

The scientist nodded.  "Any specific target?  I set up a barrier, but it's not going to hold.  This attack must count.  After this, we have to shut down."

"Focus it where it can do the most damage!"  Domino snapped.  "Brain,  heart, I don't care!  Just disable it, but don't kill it.  Giovanni wants it alive!"

Looks like Mewtwo won't catch a break, yet.  He'll need a hug at the end of this round.  And Skitty treats.  And time to play his little catch games on the iPad.

Meanwhile, in Viridian City...

"Agent 009!"  a white-clad scientist ran up to Domino.  "AC-065-Σ is being bombarded with a surge of psychic energy!  We have to shut down, or we'll lose it!"

"We can't!"  Domino snapped.  "Giovanni wants the operation to proceed as planned!  We can't shut down, now!"

"But, AC-065-Σ is being overloaded!"

"Just do as you're told!  Our orders were to proceed as planned!  Tell AC-065-Σ to fight back!"

"Yes, ma'am," the scientist sounded reluctant as he returned to his station.

Quickie watched as the other Pokemon got into the act.  Mewtwo, on the other hand, looked awful.  Taking the opportunity to do so, Quickie ducked away from the group and retrieved a plastic tub from a cart behind the counter.  Returning, she slid the basin on the floor in front of Mewtwo, who vomited.

Hovering beside the clone was Mew--or, rather, Zach--who joined in the attack on the distant augmented Pokemon.  The group was straining, and Mewtwo panted heavily while focusing his own attack.  Quickie watched the group closely.  "You can do it..."

I typed up a quick response for some back-and-forth play.  Better get the Pokemon busy, Mewtwo's about to hurl.

Quickie nodded to all of the Pokemon surrounding them, and then to Mewtwo.  "You ready?"

Mewtwo nodded. "I am."  He closed his eyes and began to focus his attack.  It wasn't long until the Alakazam retaliated on the other side.  Mewtwo's stomach lurched.

Quickie nodded to the others.  "He's got a link, go!"

I wonder how long it will take for someone to hack that thing...

I'm betting within the same month of its release.
