James took a moment to think about this. He's never seen a Shadow Pokemon before, yet the way the usually loyal Domino was talking, this could be bad news for more than just Mewtwo and his clones.
"I might consider...." he mutters, "But Jessie is usually the one to give the final answer...."
He pauses a moment to pull out his comlink, "Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get a hold of her. The last time I tried she seemed to have stumbled into a horrible rock concert of sorts. After that I couldn't get a response from her or her Pokemon."
"What exactly was she doing that caused her to wind up in such an unorthodox area?" Meowth asked.
"She was supposed to be getting back the Grand Rhydon with the hopes of using it to capture Mewtwo and his friends," James said, "I have no clue how that resulted in her being such a loud ruckus, but I can't help but think something else is tying her down and preventing her from calling anyone for help."
Domino compressed her lips. "She hasn't been in touch with me, either." She let out an aggravated sigh as she accessed her computer, trying to trace Jessie's comlink. "Last hit I have on her location is around Mount Moon. After that... it goes black." She leaned forward and propped her elbows on her desk, rubbing her forehead with both hands. "Look, the most I can do at this point is dispatch another team to her location. I'll do that, give them orders to bring Jessie here, and we'll go from there. But, in the meantime, we have other matters to attend to."
Falling silent for a very long moment, Domino worked on something on her computer, chewing on her bottom lip as she did so. "I really don't like doing this, but Giovanni hasn't been straight with me about this plan at all..." She typed some more, clicked something, then typed again. "All right, let's see, then..." Sucking in her breath, she attempted to access a directory. "...Dammit." She tried again, with the same results. "Dammit." Trying again, the results were the same. "Dammit! He locked me out!"
She rubbed the bridge of her nose with her thumb and forefinger as she closed the windows she was working in. "This isn't good... This really isn't good. I don't like this at all..." She let out a breathy groan and looked to James, Meowth, and Joe. "Giovanni locked my access. I can't get into the directory at all. He
never does this. He's hiding something from me, and I really don't like it."
