(Wily needs a Persona now.)

[Dr. Wily II]

(LOL I'm fine with Jekyll/Hyde for now. )

[Pyro]

Dr. Wily II looked up at the Blaziken, and sighed. "Even so... There isn't much I can do. Whatever was used to contain my other self is now gone, and I do not have the mental fortitude to contain him myself..." Dr. Wily II then grasped the scar on his chest. "He had, and will always be, a part of me..."

"He sounds like he'd be a lot of fun to play with!" Pyro cheered, "Can I play with him?"

Firebrawl glared at Pyro for a moment then turned back to the counter, "Think your other self is strong enough to withstand him?"

[White-Jet]

Meanwhile...

"Jessie, what's your current position?"  Domino's voice crackled over the radio.  "We have confirmation of the Grand Rhydon's touchdown in Fuchsia, not far from your location.  One of our undercover agents has informed me of an altercation near the city's Pokemon Center.  The only reason I bring this up is because our organization was mentioned by the city's gym leader."  There was a pause.  "You may investigate the matter, but you have orders to not become involved unless, for whatever reason, your target is there!"

"We're passing over the Pal Park at the north end of Fuchsia City," Jessie responds, trying to ignore the plethora of Pokemon roaming around the four different environments making up the park, "And if I assume correctly, the Grand Rhydon is still under Team Rocket's property, and therefore have emergency protocols that will erase all ownership of that traitorous wench!"

"Oh, brillant!" James muses while struggling to keep a fussy clawing Meowth from trying to protest against the two's intentions, "Then we can check the ship's logs for any recent activity and use it to identify and track down all of the trainers that were with Mewtwo and that pink haired traitor!"

[Quickman]

"Excellent," Domino sounded strangely satisfied, "keep me posted on your progress.  Over and out."  There was a squelch before the connection was closed.

[Dr. Wily II]

"He sounds like he'd be a lot of fun to play with!" Pyro cheered, "Can I play with him?"

Firebrawl glared at Pyro for a moment then turned back to the counter, "Think your other self is strong enough to withstand him?"

"... I would still like my sanity, even if it's evil..."

Outside... Unable to rest properly due to unknown reasons, Dr. Wily II decided to get some fresh air. Getting off the bed, ge could still hear the rustling of his Pikachu's PokeBall, and he smirked. "No one can help you now..." With that, he left his room, and made his way outside, to see some commotion between Ahrzayl and a kunoichi. "That looks interesting..."

[Pyro]

The Blaziken shrugged, "It is not like I can stop, nor do I really have the desire to."

Pyro's attention turned towards what appeared to be a jukebox and slotted in a coin. Soon "You Should Be Dancing" played and Pyro danced along with it. Unfortunately for Wily's evil persona, it unconsciously forced him to spin on his heel and strike a pose in lockstep with the immortal trainer.

[White-Jet]

No sooner had communications been cut, Meowth manages to rake his claws across James' face, startling him into letting him go as he bounces onto the edge of the basket.

"I could tolerate capturing Mewtwo if it was all about his super-strong psychic powers!  But there's no way I'm supporting this crazy idea that he brainwashed everyone into being his personal slaves!  Even you know that's not who he really is!"

"Perhaps if you were in the same situation we were when Mewtwo first discovered us, you'd have just as much reason to follow orders to the letter!" Jessie seethed.

"That's right!" James protests, "While you were out making friends with those clones and helping them defend their home, we were stuck behind bars, fearing our own lives and future!  That, alone, is all the reason we need to help Team Rocket capture that savage experiment before he becomes too accustomed to life as an ordinary Pokemon!"

"Have you forgotten that you, too, helped rescue and protect Mewtwo from the rest of Team Rocket!?  You're no less helpful to this operation than I was when I chose to help him out of respect!"

"We may have helped save Mewtwo, but that was only because we respected how much he cared for the well being of those cloned Pokemon!" Jessie retorts, "Now that he's striking out on his own, and with a whiny little trainer no less, we no longer have reason to disobey Team Rocket and their ambitions for getting him back!"

"If nothing else, at least remind him of the morality he once represented back when he and the other cloned Pokemon questioned their acquaintance to the rest of the Pokemon world!  He shouldn't have to prove his sociability to the rest of the world by sullying himself to some degrading trainer who, for all we know, released all her Pokemon just so she can have Mewtwo all to herself!"

"Bah!  If that's the only reason you're even considering this crazy operation that I ain't taking another step into this process until it blows up in your face!"

"Your loyalties are with Team Rocket first!" Jessie exclaims, "You will cooperate with us if you want to regain your position as the top cat of this organization!"

"There are other opportunities to clean up my reputation and boot that conniving Persian from the boss' lap!" Meowth chuffs, "I'll just keep digging until I find one that won't betray those I deeply respect!"

With that, he turns around and leaps from the blimp.

"Come back here, you traitor!" James exclaims as he and Jessie run to the edge of the basket only to nearly gut themselves hitting the walls.

Jessie muffles a frustrated growl and looks back over to James, "Forget him!  Even if we tie him to a fishing pole and dangle him in front of Mewtwo, he'll figure out a way to break free and blow our cover!"

"But what's to stop him from doing so now!?" James protests.

"Let him do what he wants!  If he somehow finds a way to stop Mewtwo from falling back into Team Rocket's grasp, we'll just treat it as another one of Mewtwo's attempts to brainwash him against Team Rocket!"

James compresses his lips in concern before pushing himself upright and heading towards the other side of the basket in search of the Grand Rhydon, while Jessie keeps an eye out for the Pokemon Center and the strange alteration that was slightly distracting Team Rocket's primary objective.


Merrick sensed the manipulated WilyII lingering nearby, but couldn't abandon Ahrzyal's predicament without leaving her vulnerable to the pain being pressured on her by Janine's stubborn oppression.

Ryo, however, sensed the ominous ripple and cracked one eye open to gaze towards the source, contemplating whether to do something about it or leave things be until it gets out of hand.

[Dr. Wily II]

(Lol, the things Pyro finds in my subconscious. )

Outside... Dr. Wily II was appalled at his sudden dancing prowess, but thankfully, the crowd wad more engrossed between the catfight than him. "WHAT THE HELL!?"

Inside... Dr. Wily II facepalmed at the dancing Pyro. "How do you put up with him?" Dr. Wily II asked the Blaziken.

[White-Jet]

Seeing the evil entity dancing uncontrollably made it hard for Ryo to maintain his meditative state as he struggles hard not to snicker at the inappropriately spontaneous need to dance thanks to whatever else was corrupting his mind.

[Pyro]

Firebrawl shrugged, "He makes life interesting and spontaneous."

Pyro accidentally tripped over a root and stumbled into a giant gummi bear. For Evil Dr. Wily II, that meant landing face-first in Janine's cleavage.

(Oh no I didn't. )

[Dr. Wily II]

(... Ohshi- That sure accelerated the plot. In a different way than I imagined. )

[Sakura Leic]

"...Wily you are so not helping with this." Sakura facepalmed before she got a good look at his Aura.  It was pure Black.

"Oh [parasitic bomb] he's not himself again." Sakura thought.

[Dr. Wily II]

Inside... Dr. Wily II was watching on of the various television screens, when he saw something that resembled a valley covered with fishnet... With mouth agape, he turned to the Blaziken. "Did Pyro just... Do what I think he did with my body?"

Outside, Dr. Wily II was struggling to get back on his feet, and his hands instinctively pushed, only to feel something soft. Soft... Mounds?

[Quickman]

Meanwhile, back in the Center...

Mewtwo blinked, sat up slowly, and finally pulled himself to his feet.  That Chansey's song was potent, as he had slept quite well.  Yawning, he rubbed his eyes and got a drink of water.  Busying himself with digging through Quickie's backpack, he pulled out his computer and contemplated doing some work, since he had the opportunity.  That recombination software wasn't going to update itself.

Though, he stopped.  There was that feeling again... that sense of utter wrong... and even despair...  Tucking his computer under one arm, Mewtwo quietly left the room and went down the hall to Wily's room.  The door was locked, but it didn't require much effort to override it.  Slipping inside, Mewtwo looked around.  He placed his computer on the desk, then sniffed the air.  Even the air smelled wrong.  And that odd rustling noise...

Tracking the noise, Mewtwo opened the nightstand drawer and found a Poke Ball stashed inside.  The locking mechanism was destroyed.  Mewtwo raised an eyebrow and placed the ball on the floor before him, swiping his arm and destroying the ball, releasing a disheveled and frightened dwarf Pikachu.

The Pikachu immediately clung to his ankle and looked up at him, blurting out the events that had transpired that led to its entrapment.  Mewtwo reached down and placed his hand on the creature's head to calm it, then resumed his investigation.  "There was something... different about Wily," he said to no one in particular, "though, I cannot be certain what exactly it is... or how to find out what it is..."

The Pikachu gave a curt nod, released Mewtwo's ankle and bounded over to Wily's bag.  It took hold of the bag's flap with its teeth and toppled it, burrowing inside and retrieving various items, mostly discs.  With one disc in its mouth, it returned to Mewtwo.  "Pi!"

Mewtwo took the disc, then looked to his computer.  "You believe that we may find out more, if we were to access the contents of this?"

The dwarf Pikachu nodded. "Chu."

Mewtwo stood and took the disc to his computer.  With a wave of his hand, a separation formed in the tablet and it opened like a clamshell, revealing a screen and a dashboard that had no discernable user interface aside from an array of large touch pads.  Mewtwo made a motion at the side of the computer, opening an aperature, in which he inserted the disc.  "This may take time," he nodded to the Pikachu as he placed both hands on the interface, "as it may be protected, which I would then need to override.  But... we shall see..."

[Pyro]

"Yes," Firebrawl said, "Yes he did."

"Ooh! Gummi bear!" Pyro yelled in excitement over the gelatine mass of corn syrup and artificial flavoring. He opened his mouth wide to bite down on it.

[White-Jet]

Merrick was too flushed with arousal to notice Sakura catching onto the realization that Wily isn't himself, his nose almost a fountain of blood that appeared normal within the realm of his card.  Ryo, Posu and Nega, meanwhile just cocked their heads to the side, obviously not familiar with inappropriate offense of invading a human's body.

But seeing Janine turning red with embarrassment and fixing to turn her scorn onto the uncontrolled "pervert" pushed Ryo to spring to his feet and grab WilyII's waist, trying to wrestle him away from her before either gained enough senses to fight each other off.

[Quickman]

Quickie stifled a giggle.  She may be an adult, but her humor was clearly that of a teenager.  Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward, putting herself between Janine and Wily, all the while digging out her badge to show to Janine.  "Hey, time out!  You guys can't fight around here!"  She looked to Wily.  "Besides, he tripped.  Can't fault someone for being clumsy."

[Sakura Leic]

"Agreed." Sakura said as she pulled out her Gym Leader Certification Badge that showed the Rainbow Badge "Now let that girl go, she no longer works for Team Rocket and is under my jurisdiction or I will report you to the League Officials, I highly doubt your Daddy would go easy on you for doing something this stupid."

[Dr. Wily II]

Inside... Unable to taste the consequences of Pyro's bite, Dr. Wily II rushed over and pushed the boy away from the gummi bear.

Outside... Seemingly freed, Dr. Wily II quickly removed his hands, and stood up. Dusting himself... "I am... Ahem... I do sincerely apologize for my brash actions, I suddenly lost the feelings in my legs, and tripped. I sincerely apologize for any resulting... Distress." *bows*

[Ahrzayl]

(I'll post soon. just recuperating from my day.)

[White-Jet]

(Take your time, we're not in a rush or anything )

[Pyro]

Pyro tumbled onto the ground before he turned to Dr. Wily II. His eye widened and sparkled as he sniveled and appeared ready to bawl his lungs out. His Blaziken could only can his head and bury it in his palm.

"You really did it this time," he said to Pyro as he reached inside to take out was appeared to be a portable (color) console from the early 90s. He handed to Pyro, "Here. Please keep the old man out of trouble."

The eternal boy grinned and began to immerse himself in the game.

"Do you want to see my Digimans?"

[Dr. Wily II]

Inside... Dr. Wily II sighed in relief at averting a potentially painful beating. He turned to see Pyro engrossed in his handheld, taking about showing off his... Digimans... Whatever those are. Turning to face the Blaziken...

"Are you sure having him here is OK? I know he wants to help, but from what has transpired thus far... He's creating more problems, than solutions, for me..."

[Quickman]

Back at the Center...

After some tedium and frustration, Mewtwo finally cracked the password and forced his way into the data on the disc that the dwarf Pikachu retrieved from Wily's belongings.  Thankfully, his limited literacy skills were not too much of a hindrance, and he had a text-to-speech program that he had written himself for things that he was still struggling with.  The majority of the user interface was based on the usage of his powers, so long as he maintained contact with the dashboard's touch pads.  It was a complicated system, but it met his needs, so he wasn't in a hurry to change it.

Scanning through the data, Mewtwo looked through various files and project information, containing serial numbers that didn't make much sense, or names that he simply could not read.  There were a few items that stood out to him, namely "bioinformatics," and "genetics."  He reminded himself to peruse those contents later and continued searching the data.

After a while, he happened upon something that was both foreign, yet familiar... a project folder entitled AC-065-Σ.  Mewtwo felt his chest tighten as he accessed the folder's contents.  Several more folders greeted him, along with a massive list of documentation.  As he was only functionally literate, he made a note to run those documents through his text-to-speech software and began to peruse the folders.  Mostly, they contained more documentation and a number of image files.  Various graphs and charts were displayed, along with their own documentation.  Though, there was one folder that caught his eye.

The video records.

Mewtwo's pulse quickened as he opened the folder and was greeted by a library of archival video footage.  There were so many videos!  Each one with a date and time attached to it.  Selecting one of the earlier videos, Mewtwo opened it and played it.

His heart skipped several beats as he watched Wily and a few other scientists whom he could not identify shave an Alakazam's head.  The video progressed until Mewtwo quickly averted his gaze as he heard the whirring of the bone saw.  His breath caught in his throat, he glanced at the dwarf Pikachu, sitting on the floor adjacent from him, watching with wide eyes.  Mewtwo grimaced and shook his head.  "You should not see this..."  He reluctantly returned his gaze to the video and adjusted himself and the screen so the Pikachu could not see.
