"Thanks," Domino ducked back into her office and closed the door.

Mewtwo had heard the exchange, but he didn't pay it any mind. His stomach growled loudly and that faint feeling was creeping up on him again. His throat tasted like the sickeningly-sweet glucose solution and it had left a film that the few drinks of water that he had did not get rid of. He felt somewhat jittery, due to having drank basically a cup full of sugar-water on an empty stomach.

Joe turned back and saw Meowth following behind them, admiring a new pass that he has around his neck. "Yo there. Did Dr. Yeung get to you?"

White-Jet · **Reply #3777 on:** August 17, 2013, 08:45:15 AM

"For the most part...." Meowth mutters, "He kept muttering about how he wished I would be his test subject for that Shadow project he keeps obsessing over."

Hearing this caused Ryuta to flinch slightly, but tries to keep his composure as he continues to lead Mewtwo towards the cafeteria.

Quickman · **Reply #3778 on:** August 17, 2013, 08:52:48 AM

Mewtwo narrowed his eyes. The Shadow project. Could that be what Amber meant about watching out for the shadows? He mulled over that for a while as the group made their way to the cafeteria. Finding an empty table in a relatively-secluded section, Mewtwo sat. He folded his arms on the table and buried his face in them, closing his eyes and remaining silent for a very long time. His stomach growled again and he could smell food, which only made the growling worse. Finally lifting his head, he looked to Meowth. "What else has that man discussed? Are my clones in danger?"

White-Jet · **Reply #3779 on:** August 17, 2013, 08:59:16 AM

"From what I saw when I was taken out, the clones seem fine," Meowth said, "Although Charizard does look like he could use a little more room to stretch his wings and tail."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #3780 on:** August 17, 2013, 09:07:17 AM

Joe had left the table to grab some jelly doughnuts. Nothing like good old jelly doughnuts to ups one's mood. Bringing some back, he offered them to the group. "Have these for now."

Quickman · **Reply #3781 on:** August 17, 2013, 09:23:27 AM

Mewtwo took one and sniffed it. After that nauseating glucose test, the last thing he wanted to eat was something sweet. But, it would be rude to refuse, so he ate the doughnut anyway. It was food and his stomach was craving it, no matter how it tasted. After a moment, he looked to Meowth. "I assume that you will be trapped here as well. I also assume," he looked to Ryuta, "that you might not be present at all hours, as you have your own life to attend to. I do thank you, though, for taking the time to talk to me."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #3782 on:** August 17, 2013, 09:26:48 AM

(Oh, don't worry. It's 4Kids jelly doughnuts.

)

Munching on one himself, Joe just decided to sit this one out. Mewtwo deserved some rest... Why this sudden... Sympathy...

White-Jet · **Reply #3783 on:** August 17, 2013, 09:35:48 AM

"It kind of seems that way," Meowth mutters while eating his share of jelly doughnuts.

Ryuta nods a bit while eating another jelly doughnut handed to him.

James just silently eats his doughnut, contemplating when would be the best time to head over to where the clones were being held.

Quickman · **Reply #3784 on:** August 17, 2013, 09:46:02 AM

"Since you are familiar with my clones," Mewtwo turned his gaze back to Meowth, "then might I request your help in keeping them calm and safe? For a favorable outcome in this trial, I cannot lash out at the humans. I have to be complacent, regardless of the fact that I could very simply destroy this place and leave. But, I am forced to play by their rules..." he trailed off, taking another bite.

White-Jet · **Reply #3785 on:** August 17, 2013, 10:18:16 AM

Meowth nods in acceptance, "I'll do what I can to make sure everyone is happy and well cared for by the time of the trial."

Quickman · **Reply #3786 on:** August 18, 2013, 01:35:39 AM

"Thank you," Mewtwo nodded and took a moment to finish his doughnut. He reached for another and turned it over in his hands, studying it. He finally glanced up, placing the doughnut on the table before him. "What is this 'psych eval' that Dr. Yeung was discussing with you? I have heard the terminology before, as Lexi had mentioned taking one. I did not inquire into the nature of it, however, as it was not my business."

Meanwhile, back at the station...

Misty excused herself outside to make a phone call. She dialed the number and waited for an answer. "Hey Brock, I'm not bothering you, am I?"

"I just got out of class," Brock replied. "We had lab today, I had Marion Joy for a partner. Got to practice sticking each other. She said I was real gentle!"

Misty laughed along with Brock. "Caught you at the right time, then. I gotta talk to you about something. Remember Mewtwo?"

There was some fumbling on the other end and the jingling of car keys. "Yeah."

"Have you been watching the news?"

"No," Brock's reply was punctuated by another round of fumbling, "been too busy. I'm interning after class, then I do homework and go to bed. Don't have time for much else."

Misty nodded slowly. "Well, long story short, Mewtwo's in trouble. Vermilion City PD picked him up, and Team Rocket are going to trial to get him back. We need all the evidence we can get to keep him out of their hands, so they're after any witnesses who can testify."

There was a sigh. "Misty... I'd love to help, I really do... but I'm too busy. I need to head on over to the Pokemon Center for my shift. I'm late as it is."

"You don't have to come over," Misty reiterated, "they just need a statement. When you can, could you write one up?"

There was a pause as Brock started his car. "Yeah, I can do that. If it's not too busy tonight, I'll get to it. I can't make any promises, though. Nurse Joy is helping me study, I have an exam coming up." There was another pause. "Tell Mewtwo I said 'hi' and I hope things work out. Where is he?"

"Pokemon Institute," Misty answered. "They sent him over there this morning. Said they plan to keep him there for the duration."

"He can't be too happy about that," Brock's voice was flat. There was another pause, and some rummaging. "Hey, I have to choose a residency soon. Vermilion City Pokemon Institute, right? I'll talk to my advisor, see if I can get in once a week. I can't make any promises, and I think the soonest I can get in is a week or so, but I'll see what I can do. I'll see if I can put another internship toward my residency, and if I can, I might be able to get over there once a week for an evening shift. I'll mention Mewtwo, see if that'll get me in sooner."

"That'd be great, if you can," Misty smiled. "Thanks, I won't keep ya."

"Good to hear from you, again," Brock rummaged some more, "I'm heading out, I'll get that statement out to Vermilion by tomorrow morning. See ya."

"Bye," Misty hung up and went back inside, looking for Phoenix.

Mirby · **Reply #3787 on:** August 18, 2013, 02:01:18 AM

Phoenix was studying the case inside the station when he saw Misty come in, looking for someone. He momentarily glanced up from the papers to wave to her.

(I just realized something. Misty, Misty Fey, same name

)

Quickman · **Reply #3788 on:** August 18, 2013, 02:46:11 AM

Misty rushed over. "I just got off the phone with Brock. He said he'll try and have an affidavit in by tomorrow. He's too busy with school to testify." She paused, looking over the papers strewn about. "Were you able to get anything from Lexi's apartment, yet?"

Mirby · **Reply #3789 on:** August 18, 2013, 03:19:57 AM

"Just a few things, they should help out quite a bit," he replied.

(I have no idea what I was supposed to get from there, but LET'S JUST SAY I ALREADY DID

)

Quickman · **Reply #3790 on:** August 18, 2013, 03:44:58 AM

(Basically stuff that would pertain to Mewtwo staying with Quickie. Any records of his employment at Saffron Sushi, along with any records of his Fujisoft business, which would include bank records. If Mewtwo paid rent, he would have cosigned the lease. Any photos of the two, and Quickie's own computer would be confiscated under the terms of the search warrant.)

Misty nodded. "Is there anything you need from me? I can write up a statement. Pretty much my involvement starts and ends at Mount Quena. We went our separate ways then."

Mirby · **Reply #3791 on:** August 18, 2013, 06:43:54 AM

(Well then, yeah, I totally got that stuff! Totally!

Also Phoenix already got your statement)

"Well a bit more detail would always be useful..." he said.

Quickman · **Reply #3792 on:** August 18, 2013, 07:49:15 AM

A few minutes later, Quickie entered, carrying a banker's box. "Got some more stuff," she heaved it onto the table, opened the lid, and began to rifle through it, "should be some useful stuff in here..."

Misty stepped aside. "So, how long was Mewtwo living with you?"

"Quite a while, several years," Quickie nodded as she shuffled things around. "Okay, here we go. Not sure how useful this would be, but it may at least help with proving ownership..." She fished out a folder and placed it on the table. "Did you know that Mewtwo believes in God?"

Misty's eyes widened. "That's certainly new... How long has he believed that?"

"Since he was born," Quickie nodded. "He told me that he asked his creators if God created him. They said 'no,' and, well... he didn't take it well." She opened the folder and pulled out a certificate. "A couple years ago, we were out and about, and came across a congregation in the woods that was blessing Pokemon for their trainers. Lots of trainers there with rare Pokemon, most likely why they held it in the woods. That was when Mewtwo mentioned his beliefs, and we hung out there to watch for a bit."

Misty nodded. "I've seen some mass blessings before, off and on."

"Anyway, after a while, we decided to stop skulking and go in for a closer look," Quickie continued. "The pastor saw us hanging around the back of the crowd and invited us forward, and Mewtwo was baptized that day." She held up the certificate. "I snapped a couple pictures of the baptism. They might be in here somewhere, the ceremony was held creekside, so lots of trainers and their Pokemon were getting wet." She began to rummage some more.

Misty looked over the certificate and then handed it to Phoenix. "It's certainly cute. Nice gesture, though I'm not real spiritual, so I don't do that."

Quickie fished out a few photos. "Here we go. Here's the blessing, the dunk, and Mewtwo's reaction. The water's cold."

Misty took the photos and laughed. "I can tell. That face is priceless, but he does look happy."

"I'm not very spiritual, either. But, it made Mewtwo happy to be baptized," Quickie passed the photos to Phoenix. "Might help to show the jury how happy he is. Might help to swing the verdict in our favor."

(Mewtwo's belief in God was pulled from the Japanese script of MSB and from BoM.)

White-Jet · **Reply #3793 on:** August 18, 2013, 07:51:07 AM

Hierophant eventually made it to the cafeteria, checking the stall to see what was for lunch. He wasn't sure when he was going to be needed again, or what other visible cards they want to examine to ensure they aren't at fault for the incident outside the station.

He eventually picks up another stack of sandwiches and a couple of berries for Genbu and makes his way towards one of the empty tables to eat and think about what had transpired during their examination. It was obviously clear that Yan-Yan can copy any ability he sees or is hit with, but until they find a Ditto or some other Pokemon with a Transform spell, they can't prove he could be capable of copying such an inbred ability.

They contemplated transferring him and Yan-Yan to the Pokemon Institute in the hopes of finding and borrowing a Ditto to complete their examination. This could be his opportunity to get back Tarot Skitty since he sensed James lingering somewhere within the vicinity. But there was another conscience lurking within; a Hermit energy seeking means to uncover more secrets that haven't yet been revealed by other scientists. He worries the conscience of this energy might mistake Yan-Yan for a new species of Pokemon and attempt to examine him, Jeff, and Merrick if he chose to follow after them.

If the final decision was to transfer them to the Pokemon Institute to get a Ditto, he'll have to keep watch of that strong Hermit energy to make sure whoever harbors it doesn't try to sidetrack him and take the card for themselves.

Quickman · **Reply #3794 on:** August 18, 2013, 08:10:44 AM

Quickie saw Heirophant enter and waved at him. She turned to Phoenix and Misty. "Excuse me a moment."

"Sure," Misty nodded.

Stopping to grab some lunch herself, Quickie made her way to Heirophant's table and nodded to an empty seat. "Mind if I join you?"

White-Jet · **Reply #3795 on:** August 18, 2013, 08:21:44 AM

"Not at all," Hierophant answers after swallowing another bite of his sandwich.

Quickman · **Reply #3796 on:** August 18, 2013, 08:26:11 AM

Quickie sits after glancing over her shoulder for a moment. "How're you holding up? How's your Pokemon?"

White-Jet · **Reply #3797 on:** August 18, 2013, 08:36:08 AM

"They're fine," Hierophant said, "They aren't going to include the whole 'deformation' thing into the case since it was my doing and they're aware that I'm capable of fixing the problem if it bothers everyone else."

He pauses a moment to glance towards the card sitting on his back, "Right now I'm more concerned about the other cards that were involved in the case. I've told them what Yan-Yan can do, and they were able to prove that he can imprint any ability he sees or is hit with into the holder's conscience. But without a Pokemon that can transform, Jenny's having a hard time convincing anyone that his capabilities can expand that far. They're contemplating taking us to the Pokemon Institute to borrow a Ditto and confirm that Carr did use Yan-Yan to transform into a Shiny Mewtwo."

Quickman · **Reply #3798 on:** August 18, 2013, 08:45:29 AM

Quickie nodded slowly. "If you see Mewtwo while you're there, tell him I said 'hi.'" She glanced at her sandwich and opened it, pulling out the pickles and eating them separately. "I got some stuff from our apartment, Team Rocket didn't ransack the place. Got a few things to prove current ownership. I had to keep Mewtwo on file as an employee at Saffron Sushi, so we have his timesheets, and other records. His handwriting's pretty atrocious, and he could really only write his name."

White-Jet · **Reply #3799 on:** August 18, 2013, 08:53:51 AM

Hierophant nods as he listens into what Quickie has recovered so far to tilt the jury's favor towards her.

"Hopefully the investigation on the institute will also keep Team Rocket from sabotaging any intentions of forcing Mewtwo into only obeying them," he assures, "Since they know that Team Rocket will do anything to win the trial, they're going to be extra observant over any undercover members that might try to slip something into Mewtwo or any evidence collected so far to prove they have all rights to control him regardless of their past criminal records."
