Merrick cringed as he sees reporters brown-nosing every citizen that either entered the city or passed by them, with one of them heading towards the Center.

It was bad enough that Kojiro's Mime Jr. was chasing him all over the place with a smartphone that could very well be used to send information back to Team Rocket concerning his existence; he didn't need the rest of the world knowing the capabilities of living tarot cards.

Without thinking, he pressed himself, face down on Ahrzyal's back while she was still passed out, trying to pass himself off as a decoration on her shirt while hoping they get the information they need and move on.

"Ugh reporters, I [tornado fang]ing hate reporters!" Sakura sighed as she continued to clean up.

"Why is that?" Xuangzang asked.

"They don't say anything useful and they often stretch the truth to the point that I can't believe what their saying, I only watch News for the Weather and even then I can find another way to get my Weather information." Sakura ranted.

"I see..." Xuangzang listened intently, even though he had been with Sakura for 2 years he always learn new things about her.

Joe sighed in relief, seeing the reporter and cameraman pestering another trainer. Turning around, Joe quickly entered the gate, and emerged into Fuschia City. Walking along the path, it didn't take him too long to notice the damage. Glass shards everywhere, rubbish bins overturned, pieces of roofing... All these damages... By one Pokemon...

It wasn't long for Joe to finally reach the Pokemon Center. When he entered, he noticed that Nurse Joy was still tidying up. He slowly approached the reception counter...

"Hi... Do you still have any spare rooms?"

Quickman · **Reply #2678 on:** July 17, 2013, 08:11:11 AM

Nurse Joy nodded. "We do, we're still functional, despite, well..." she nodded to the doors that were barely hanging on their hinges. She produced a keycard and handed it to Joe. "312 is available." Giving another nod, she excused herself and ducked away from the counter, grabbing a broom and dustpan.

Rejoining Sakura and sweeping up broken glass, Nurse Joy noted the reporters snooping about with an irritated groan. "I've already given my statement to the police, I'm not in the mood to deal with reporters." She swept up glass, dumped it in a garbage bin, and straightened her back. "The thing they don't understand is that we deal with incidents like this a lot. You have people bringing in wild Pokemon that they caught, and oftentimes, they're unpredictable! And the more intelligent, the more damage they can cause, unfortunately." She shook her head and swept some more. "Like I said, we've had fires caused by Pokemon sneezing. And with the Park nearby, we tend to deal with a lot more of this stuff than most Centers."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2679 on:** July 17, 2013, 08:14:49 AM

"I know right seriously you have no idea idea how many times I had to deal with stupid reporters asking me stupid questions about stupid things!" Sakura continued to rant "I mean back in Hoenn I had this lady and camera man stalking me just so I can battle them, kick their ass, and make a report out of it. Hell I've seen stories about the Nicknames people have chosen when they go to a Name Rater, seriously what the hell!"

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2680 on:** July 17, 2013, 08:26:19 AM

"Thank you." Joe took the key card, and nodded at the room number. 312. He slowly made his way to his room, seeing various other trainers helping out with the cleanup. When he finally reached his room, he quickly entered, and locked the door. He then put on his comlink... "Madam, I'm in."

(Just to be sure... Who has which room number?)

White-Jet · **Reply #2681 on:** July 17, 2013, 08:28:42 AM

(I don't think we've specified a particular room number. We just assume there's a vacant room and go to it)

Quickman · **Reply #2682 on:** July 17, 2013, 08:31:50 AM

(Quickie is in 305, Wily has 310, Kojiro is somewhere in between, let's put him in 306, across the hall.)

There was a crackle before Domino responded. "Excellent. You didn't have too much trouble, did you? I hear it's a circus out there."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2683 on:** July 17, 2013, 08:38:46 AM

"Nothing a little Youngster Joey can't handle. I'll head out to assist the cleanup... And see if I can mingle around with the targets..." Joe said, starting to feel a bit more confidence in himself.

Quickman · **Reply #2684 on:** July 17, 2013, 09:08:53 AM

"Good," Domino sounded satisfied. "Now, I saw that a number of reporters are trying to tie the two incidents together, and I know that the incident on Route 14 is unrelated. However, the public doesn't. What you can do is further the belief that Mewtwo caused that damage, too. We pin both incidents on it, get the community to realize how dangerous it is, and we may be able to spurn it into another act of aggression that will cement its reputation and enlist the community to aid in its capture. If you're able to interact with Mewtwo's posse, see if you can plant the idea in their heads that their 'master' must be dealt with."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2685 on:** July 17, 2013, 09:18:45 AM

"Understood, Madam. I will do my best. Joe out." Joe removed the comlink, and placed it back into his Bermuda pocket. Searching through his room, managed to find a pair of rubber gloves in the washroom drawer. Putting them on, he exited the room, and headed for Nurse Joy.

"What a mess... I just had to come over to help!" Joe acted excitedly, and noticed a female trainer was helping Nurse Joy as well... Though she had a strange black Pokemon with her. Talking to this trainer... "Things get pretty hectic here... Ehh?"

(Thanks for the room numbers.

)

Quickman · **Reply #2686 on:** July 17, 2013, 09:25:41 AM

Nurse Joy nodded, sweeping up more glass. "Borough Maintenance said that they'll deal with the cleanup outside, and they're roping off the trees, in case any come down. The Center Committee will be sending a crew over soon to remove the doors and we may be dealing with plywood until new doors can be ordered." She sighed, surveying the damage. "Thankfully, it didn't extend any farther than the lobby. But, all the windows on this end are busted out, and some people have been putting up garbage bags until Maintenance comes by."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2687 on:** July 17, 2013, 10:16:47 AM

"Oh my... But thankfully no one ws hurt? Or so I had heard..." Joe said, as he picked up some of the glass shards. " I had also heard that it was some kind of psychic discharge... Makes you wonder what kind of Pokemon can unleash such power..."

Quickman · **Reply #2688 on:** July 17, 2013, 10:56:15 AM

"A very powerful one," Nurse Joy said simply as she swept up more glass.

Officer Jenny entered the Center and conversed briefly with Nurse Joy, before busying herself with roping off the front entrance. She walked over to the desk, wrote up a sign, then returned and attached it to the rope, instructing visitors to use the side entrance. She looked back to Joy. "Borough Maintenance are on their way, and they'll be taking down your doors here."

"Good," Nurse Joy nodded. "They won't have to take the whole frame out, will they?"

"Not sure," Jenny shrugged. "The inspector will look at it, make sure there's no damage to the wall itself. If there is, you might have to cordon off the lobby for a while. Looks like a load-bearing wall here, and that blast could've weakened it."

Nurse Joy frowned. "I just hope the foundation's still good. We had that tremor, then the blast..." she trailed off and swept some more before she looked to Jenny. "Could you perhaps give the reporters my statement? I'm not in the mood to talk to any of them right now."

"Will do," Jenny nodded before she ducked under the police tape and left.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2689 on:** July 17, 2013, 11:07:08 AM

Seeing Officer Jenny shocked Joe for a tiny moment, until he remembered he was disguised. Watching Officer Jenny leave, Joe replied... "A powerful Psychic Pokemon... Really makes you wonder if such a thing existed... And to be honest, I would not be surprised that the same Pokemon was behind the tremor at Route 14..."

Quickman · **Reply #2690 on:** July 17, 2013, 11:12:25 AM

Nurse Joy shrugged again. "I wouldn't doubt it. Some Pokemon can be unpredictable..."

Mirby · **Reply #2691 on:** July 17, 2013, 11:30:24 AM

(I don't even know what room number I have

)

Quickman · **Reply #2692 on:** July 17, 2013, 11:37:45 AM

(You're now in room 308. Basically, everyone shares the same hallway.

)

Mirby · **Reply #2693 on:** July 17, 2013, 11:58:14 AM

(Perfect

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2694 on:** July 17, 2013, 03:51:52 PM

(... A room orgy?

Nurse Joy shrugged again. "I wouldn't doubt it. Some Pokemon can be unpredictable..."

"Indeed... Some more so than ever... I had heard rumours... That the Pokemon might be still in the city... A... Bipedal purple-ish Pokemon... Shouldn't we do something about it? What if it goes into a rampage again? And this time... Causalities?" Joe gasped.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2695 on:** July 17, 2013, 03:57:01 PM

"I seriously doubt that Pokemon was responsible for that tremor." Sakura dismissed "There was a huge ass hole on Route 14, probably just some Steelix that buried underground or something."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2696 on:** July 17, 2013, 04:17:54 PM

"Perhaps... However... It WAS a huge discharge of psychic energy... If it was indeed a Steelix, perhaps it was under the influence of that energy... Very dangerous... Or so I had heard..." Joe nodded slowly.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2697 on:** July 17, 2013, 04:21:52 PM

"Nah Steelix do whatever the [tornado fang] they want, I should know I was stuck on an island with them training for a Gym battle." Sakura replied "Seriously it was probably just hot or something, it's like 95 degrees out here."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2698 on:** July 17, 2013, 04:27:10 PM

Joe tsk'd under his breath. This trainer was a lot tougher than he thought... Maybe this trainer was heavily mind-manipulated by Mewtwo as well? Not good... Perhaps he should try someone else. After clearing most of the debris from his area, Joe excused himself from Nurse Joy and the trainer, and began to make his way outside. Deep in thought...

"If I can't persuade the targets... Might as well rally up the citizens of Fuschia..."

Pyro · **Reply #2699 on:** July 17, 2013, 05:18:29 PM

Meanwhile, on his way to the hole on Route 14, Pyro heard a low moaning nearby. Intrigued, ran to the tall grass with Loki batting them away using Extrasensory until he found a Steelix lying on the ground. He place his hand on the ferrous snake's snout and gently rubbed it.

"Hey there," he greeted, "What's your name big guy?"

"Steeeeee," the Steelix rumbled. The slight wince it gave suggested that the behemoth was in pain.

"Tom, huh?" Pyro replied, "You look like a 'Thrash' to me, mind if I call you Thrash?"

The newly-rechristened Thrash shook his head and then groaned. Loki then hopped off of Pyro's and ran down the Steelix's side and noticed a large scratch on one of the middle segments. He barked to his trainer who then ran up to the Zorua and saw the scratch himself. Pyro's eyes widened as he ran his hands down its rough contours, which almost felt like a grater.

"Wow!" he gasped, "Who did this to you?"

Thrash explained his run-in with the drill, the trainer with the Frillish that attacked him afterwords, and how it burrowed up to the surface in pain. Pyro genuinely felt saddened by the iron snake's plight and reached inside his backpack to pull out a an electric polisher and reached for one of his Pokeballs, "I'll fix that up for you! Go Socks!"

"Rooooo-TOM!" the Plasma Pokemon called out and allowed its trained to plug the power tool into him. Pyro then rubbed the scratch down until it became smooth and shiny once more.

Thrash stirred and let out a roar, except that it was out of relief and gratefulness to the scatterbrained Lavaridge Gym Leader.

"So do you know anything about this big hole I heard about on the TV?" Pyro asked.

Thrash nodded and then lowered his head to over Pyro a ride, "Steeeeelix!"

Loki then hopped back onto Pyro's shoulder as the the trainer climbed onto the Steelix, "You'll take me there? Sweet!"

Thrash then began to slither in the direction of the whole. Out of curiosity, Pyro began to strike up a conversation to make the journey go faster, "So... what moves do you know?"
