(The sooner they get to Route 11, the sooner his baser animal instincts can take over, and the sooner the encounter devolves into a vicious fight. FUN!)

Hierophant watched as the clone Pokemon unaffected by the shiny Mewtwo's psychic powers continue to help put out the fires and remove the structures pinning other people and Pokemon down, many of them broken in more than just skin.

He could easily rectify the injuries with his Kindness Rain spell, but with other citizens and bypassing trainers rushing in to help with the recovery, he felt he would only hinder the situation my confusing them with the prospect of a storm conjured up by the supposed "one-of-a-kind" Pokemon marching through the city.

Pika2, meanwhile manages to leap over the barrage of Vine Whips and lands in front of the Shiny Mewtwo, wasting no time firing off a Thunderbolt to try and slow him down. But no sooner had the crooked projectile came within inches of his being, a barrier appears around him, deflecting it into nearby trees and grassy plains, creating more fire and scaring away the wild Pokemon lurking within.

Before it realized how ineffective its attacks were to the mighty copy of its original creator, the Shiny Mewtwo reaches his three stubby fingered hands towards it while his eyes glowed, causing its own beady, black eyes to flash and drain away the sparkle that represents its individuality.

How long has it been since you last saw me.... the voice echoed in Pika2's mind, Surely you, of all Pokemon, should remember me....

A sudden streak of pain racks across the Shiny Mewtwo's back as Meowth manages to get past the barrage of possessed Pokemon and lands a Fury Swipe across him, once again leaving no lasting marks on the card plastered along his spine. The startled reaction breaks his psychic connection with Pika2, causing him to shake his head and flee towards the entrance to Route 6 to recover from its near mind-wiping ordeal.

"Oh no you don't!" he exclaims, arching his other claw-protruding paw back for another swipe, "You ain't trickin' anymore of his clones onto your side!"

The Shiny Mewtwo whips his head around and flashes his eyes again, causing Meowth to glow and fly back towards the oncoming Excalibur, causing the glow to spread like a disease and send them flying into the roof of the nearby Pokemon Center.

Hierophant and the unaffected clone Pokemon stare in shock as the roof caved in, quickly making their way towards it to check on the state of it and the unwitting culprits that landed on top of it.

(I'm half-tempted, for the sake of cutting back on travel time, to have Mewtwo just teleport himself, Quickie, Wily, and Taylor to Route 11. Or, hell, he could just teleport himself and the rest would need to catch up to him, giving him ample time to go berserk.)

White-Jet · **Reply #2978 on:** July 23, 2013, 10:32:33 AM

(If this is going to fast, I can wait until everyone else is up and ready to go, or at least just focus on Hierophant and the unaffected clones trying to mend the damage caused by the Shiny Mewtwo's nonchalant rampage)

Quickman · **Reply #2979 on:** July 23, 2013, 10:44:35 AM

(Yeah, it's going a bit too fast, as everyone needs to get underway, and there are things that they need to deal with first. In the meantime, I can cut to Domino and Giovanni and focus on James's situation.)

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2980 on:** July 23, 2013, 11:04:32 AM

(I wanna Joe, but he's a mental wreck in prison.

)

Quickman · **Reply #2981 on:** July 23, 2013, 11:08:21 AM

(Then, he can meet with the psychiatrist!

Also, since Joe hasn't yet been convicted and is awaiting trial, then he's a mental wreck in jail, not prison. But, there's plenty of plot possibilities there, such as meeting with a lawyer, interrogations, court dates...)

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2982 on:** July 23, 2013, 11:19:45 AM

(... You are somewhat enjoying this, aren't you.

)

Quickman · **Reply #2983 on:** July 23, 2013, 11:23:57 AM

(It's something to do that passes the time, and hopefully Giovanni would've bailed Joe out before his trial.)

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2984 on:** July 23, 2013, 12:03:02 PM

Lol, I know.

Got to think if something for Joe... But for now, a bit more Wily II.)

Dr. Wily II returned with his tote bag. Seeing only Taylor in the room, he asked... "Where's Quickie and Mewtwo?"

White-Jet · **Reply #2985 on:** July 23, 2013, 10:22:38 PM

Kojiro groans as he lifts his head from his knocked down position only to notice a replay of the sketch and progressing news on the incident between Route 11 and Vermilion City. He was about to assume Mewtwo had left only to see the targeted Pokemon walk out of the room with his "slave" following after him.

It didn't make any sense that there would be two Mewtwo's since the project went up in smoke according to what was given to him to fall back on. Staring at the posted picture further, he noticed two cards on the Mewtwo sketch's body, one on the forehead and another on his back, almost like where Carr had stuck those magical tarot cards during their last encounter.

His main priority was to keep watch of this Mewtwo, but the other one raised more than enough confusion and need to warrant another call to Domino to report what he had seen so far and what they should be doing about the incident. Kojiro quickly springs to his feet and charges off back to his room to fix the frequency caused by the thunderbolt earlier and reestablish connection with Domino.

Quickman · **Reply #2986 on:** July 24, 2013, 01:18:20 AM

Domino answered the comlink on her end. "This is 009, go ahead." If it was about the news report, she already knew. On one hand, it worked in her favor, as it would further rally the community against Mewtwo. On the other hand... any idiot could tell that the creature on Route 11 was clearly different. Though, she surmised that it wouldn't take long for the two to encounter each other, which would undoubtedly lead to a very destructive fight.

Yet another thing to work in her favor, Domino sneered. Go ahead, Mewtwo. Let your emotions get the better of you. Lay waste to your impostor. And while you're doing that, Team Rocket will capture your clones. They made effective bait before, and they will do so again.

After several minutes, Nurse Joy took Quickie out into the hallway to speak to her privately. "It's well enough to leave, which I know you're going to do. I've seen what's going on, and while I would rather you wait at least one more day, I can't stop you." She sighed. "I heard a slight rattle in its lungs when it breathed, but that should clear up. Left over from the immune response to that bacterial infection. However, if it gets worse and you hear it coughing, particularly wet coughs, take it to a Pokemon Center." She glanced at the lobby, then back to Quickie. "I'm going to do you a favor. I'm going to call Officer Jenny and arrange a police escort out of town, so you'll be riding with her until you're out of her jurisdiction. After that, you're on your own."

Quickie nodded and smiled shyly. "Thanks. We're getting ready to head out."

"I'll get your group out the back exit, where you'll meet with Jenny, and she'll take you the rest of the way." Nurse Joy checked inside the exam room before lowering her voice. "Remember what I said about that Master Ball I gave you. I hope you never need to use it, but should it come down to it... I want you to at least consider. Even if it's lip service. Mewtwo is very powerful, and therefore very dangerous, and you need a reliable method of controlling it, if it ever gets out of hand. Please keep it in mind. You would be doing that to ensure Mewtwo's safety."

Quickie nodded again, slower this time. "I know. I will. Thank you."

Nurse Joy smiled. "You go ahead and get ready to leave, then. I'll call Officer Jenny and arrange transport." She opened the door to the exam room. "You can go and get ready to leave. You're officially discharged."

After a moment, Mewtwo emerged from the exam room and followed Quickie down the hall and back to their room.

White-Jet · **Reply #2987 on:** July 24, 2013, 01:34:38 AM

"I'm sure you're already aware of the news reports by now," Kojiro begins, hesitantly, "Is there anything you'd like me or Jessie to do if and when she gets back? Or do you want us to continue monitoring and waiting for the right moment to snatch his slave under Team Rocket's confinement?"

Tarot Skitty heads back to Chariot's room, Merrick wanting to make sure nothing else was left behind that could help keep it safe from anymore grabby hands. Having found nothing, he starts to contemplate what to do at this point.

He heard the news report of the strange, green-tailed Mewtwo with two cards on its body and believes the best course of action is to go there and get them back before Carr does anymore unnecessary damage and gets the original Mewtwo into further trouble with society. But getting there was the problem.

He could easily insert himself into Tarot Skitty and teleport there, but without an ample supply of milk, and the possibility of tussling with the cards it would call back, he may not last long before Tarot Skitty, and himself, winds up back under Carr's ownership to do as he damn near pleases.

The only other option was to travel with Quickie and let Mewtwo wear his doppelganger down long enough for Tarot Skitty to call back the cards and render him helpless. As long as it maintains its Blue Magic abilities left behind by the Fool card, he should be able to hold his own just giving it directions on where to dodge and how to fight back.

With this in mind, he heads out of the room and begins to wander off in search of Quickie or anyone else that would be going with her merely for the sake of safety if they had come into visual contact with the one-of-a-kind Pokemon and trust its docile behavior.

Quickman · **Reply #2988 on:** July 24, 2013, 01:53:42 AM

Domino shook her head. "Is our target planning to leave? If so, follow her. Let Mewtwo engage its impostor, and during the confusion, you should be able to apprehend its slave. Actually," she paused, "if you could get Mewtwo's group to Route 11 sooner, that would be great. Don't actively try to integrate yourself with the group, but secure yourself a vehicle and give them a lift. Also, don't blow your cover with your response to Mewtwo. Should you transport the group, you'll be in direct contact with Mewtwo, and we know what's been going on with the news. Pass yourself off as a trucker, all you've heard was on the radio. That way, you can feign ignorance."

White-Jet · **Reply #2989 on:** July 24, 2013, 02:11:37 AM

"Will do!" Kojiro chirps as he rushes out to do as told, almost tripping over Tarot Skitty along the way, though his excitement was too brimming to even notice.

His first objective was to get a new disguise. Since he was dealing with an older group of trainers, it would have been completely pointless to pass himself off as a trucker when he's still dressed like the natives in this city. The best place for that would be the Pokemart, since they also have a costume section he could browse around for the appropriate outfits.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2990 on:** July 24, 2013, 02:26:50 AM

Nodding at Taylor's reply, Dr. Wily II then turned and noticed Quickie and Mewtwo entering. "Ah, I was informed by Taylor that Mewtwo was being examined. Everything's fine?"

Joe had been slightly uncooperative throughout the interrogation, the 3 trainers had already been released after their statements were taken, and it was concluded that Joe had made use of them. Joe had been crying throughout, only giving bits and pieces of information, confusing and frustrating the interrogators.

"I WANT TO SEE MY LAWYERRRRRRRRRRR!"

Quickman · **Reply #2991 on:** July 24, 2013, 02:34:22 AM

Quickie nodded. "Just some residual phlegm, so we need to keep an eye on his cough, but he should be fine. Nurse Joy is also arranging a police escort out of town." She bent and unzipped her backpack, rearranging items and taking the Pokenav out of the bag and clipping it to her belt. She rolled the bag closed and slipped it beneath a shirt before zipping up her backpack and slinging it over one shoulder.

One of the detectives banged on the door, telling Joe to be quiet. "A court-appointed guy will be over. Until then, you'll be processed and taken to your cell." He huffed and fingered the cigarette pack in his breast pocket. "If you have your own lawyer, you can use your phone call to call them. If you have someone who can pay your bail, call them." He entered and plunked a phone down on the table in front of Joe. "Make it count."

White-Jet · **Reply #2992 on:** July 24, 2013, 02:40:55 AM

While the door was still open, Tarot Skitty scampers in, Merrick not wanting to be left behind, given the current state of its condition and the situation they were about to wander into.

Quickman · **Reply #2993 on:** July 24, 2013, 02:54:20 AM

Quickie took notice to Tarot Skitty. "Need a lift? Plenty of room in my backpack." She took it off her shoulder and unzipped it.

Mewtwo, on the other hand, was getting restless and had begun to pace.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2994 on:** July 24, 2013, 02:54:37 AM

Joe stared at the phone, before scampering to pick it up. And then he hesitated. He could not remember the fixed line numbers for the new base. Grasping the phone hard, he baww'd again.

Dr. Wily II nodded. "I see... A police escort, subtle, I guess."

White-Jet · **Reply #2995 on:** July 24, 2013, 03:06:53 AM

Merrick looks towards the backpack before hopping Tarot Skitty into it, dislodging from its back once secured within the knickknacks that were taking up most of the interior.

"There," he sighs, "Now it won't be able to drift off anywhere until we get to where Carr has taken the cards and the clones he most likely put under his control."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2996 on:** July 24, 2013, 03:13:04 AM

Dr. Wily II raised an eyebrow. "Carr? The Three Beasts Carr? What does this have to do with him of all people?"

Quickman · **Reply #2997 on:** July 24, 2013, 03:24:24 AM

Quickie zipped up her backpack and slung it over her shoulder. "No idea. I didn't get a good look at the news, and couldn't before Mewtwo, well..." she trailed off, shrugging.

Mewtwo didn't respond and was still pacing like a caged tiger.

White-Jet · **Reply #2998 on:** July 24, 2013, 03:24:51 AM

"I barely know much about him since Hierophant pulled me out," Merrick began, "But from what he said, Carr had managed to take possession of Tarot Skitty up until we showed up here, and used it to steal three of the cards that were in the Team Rocket trio in the past. And from the looks of the picture they've been showing on the news, I have a feeling he's been using the ability-copying capabilities of the Fool card to snag a few more moves from wild Pokemon for reasons I'm sure has to do with both Mewtwo and Team Rocket as a whole."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2999 on:** July 24, 2013, 03:30:32 AM

The green haired man went into the hallway looking for a specific room

"Let's see, where's 315..." The man mutters as he continued to walk down the hall. Eventually he finds the room he's looking for and takes a deep breath before knocking.

It took a moment and he heard some shuffling but eventually the door opened to reveal a very sleepy Sakura.

"Quickie are we leaving already or something?" Sakura yawned with her eyes still not quite open.

"Sakura?" The man spoke.

Sakura jolted at the familiar voice that wasn't Quickie and looked up suddenly wide awake. She saw pale blue eyes staring right back at her.

"N?!" Sakura said in complete shock.

"It's been 2 years hasn't it." N smiled a bit nervously as he didn't know what she was going to do "You didn't know I was coming?"

"How could I?" Sakura asked incredulously.

"Sorry I didn't get the chance to tell her." Xuangzang stated as he floated up to them. "Things were a bit hectic yesterday to say the least."

"You were responsible for this?" Sakura questioned.

"Things are getting more dangerous Sakura, we need as much help as we can get." Xuangzang responded.

"I guess so." Sakura sighed before turning to N "So what do you know?"

"Well mostly the things that Xuangzang already told me and the things I over heard when I arrived, it seems that you had a very rough month." N replied.

"That's the understatement of the century right there." Sakura laughed bitterly "Then again when haven't I had a hard time."

"I see." N said as he put his hand on her shoulder. She jolted a bit as she wasn't used to someone doing something like that but she relaxed slightly since she knew he wasn't going to harm her. "Are you okay though, you seem really stressed."

"I think I lost my mind before I got to Stone Town but other than that it's nothing new." Sakura said still exhausted "At least I don't have to worry about the world being destroyed just yet."

"Yes it seems these Rockets are quite different from Plasma to say the least." N sighed "They clearly aren't very subtle unlike my.....father was...until recently."

"I heard something happened in Unova before I left Celedon, something about Opelucid city being frozen over or something, so Ghetsis was behind it?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Yes among other things but I'll talk about that later." N shook his head "Anyway are you aware something is going on at Route 11 right now, it seems the News is going nuts about it."

"Route 11, that's a little weird." Sakura said as she let in the room, closed the door and turned on the TV.
