Topic: RPM POKEMON ADVENTURE THING

[Sakura Leic]

Sakura nodded at the Riolu.

"Go for it." Said Sakura.

[White-Jet]

Ryo nods, about to comply when the entire Center shook.  Posu and Nega fell on top of each other before quickly regaining their senses and running towards the lobby to see what was going on.  The Riolu watched before going back to his original plans, trusting they would report when things settle down.

He closes his eyes and uses his aura-sensing abilities to detect how distance the ripples making up Steiner's feelings were, then uses Mind Reader to get a visual of the ship's current location.


Mime Jr. flies off Kojiro's shoulders from the blast as the kimono-dressed adolescent struggles to keep his smartphone focused on the source of the blast, feeling the band holding his topknot coming undone and sending his neck-long hair waving like a male Frillish caught in a rip-roaring river.

"Such...power...." he grunts, "If Mewtwo really is using this to enslave humans, he needs to be in some isolated area to make sure it doesn't attract any attention...."


Seeing the good Wily writhing in pain, Merrick increases his healing magic to keep him conscious and painless while Mewtwo unleashed his attack.  The ensuing force knocked him off WilyII's back and into a nearby wall, jarring enough of his programming to cause an illegal reboot, a fiery flash turning his screen an ash-like, sepia hue while he appears severely dazed with his eyes shut tight and his body trembling from the ordeal.

[Sakura Leic]

"Ah!" Sakura shouted as she fell from the quake.

"I'm glad I can fly." Xuangzang muttered softly.

[Dr. Wily II]

Inside... Dr. Wily II screamed out one last time as his body flung itself into a nearby tree... The same tree that he was tied to earlier. Dazed, he slumped, and his hand released its grasp on his chest, revealing that the scar was glowing red faintly... But it seemed to be surrounded by a blue aura...

Death had stopped screaming, and is visibly weakened. His scythe disappeared, and in its place was a small dagger. It tsk'd under its weakened breath, as it disappears into the shadows of the scenery.



Outside... Dr. Wily II was knocked back, and hit a nearby tree. Dazed, he slumped, his sunglasses falling onto his lap.

[Quickman]

After a moment, a dazed and exhausted Mewtwo raised himself on his elbows.  His head was spinning, much as it had been after he had teleported an entire lake and spring beneath a mountain.  He looked to Wily and knew that despite the collateral damage, the man would be fine.  Letting out a breath, Mewtwo pulled himself to his feet and staggered off to a quiet and secluded spot around the side of the Center, where he slumped down beside the building.  He would go back inside later.  Right now, he needed a nap.

[Sakura Leic]

"Wily!" Sakura shouted as she ran up to him.

[Mirby]

Taylor and company walked through the city and were taken completely by surprise by what sounded like glass shattering. Instinctively, the group ducked down, prepared for anything. From her prone position, Taylor scanned the area, trying to see where the sound came from. Quietly, she motioned for her team to carefully follow her to the source of the sound. Warily, they maneuvered around buildings and made their way to the Pokemon Center to see what was happening. They saw a man crumpled against a tree, and a large Pokemon resting beside the building. A girl ran up to the man, obviously concerned for his well-being.

"Hmm... interesting..." Taylor mused quietly.

[Quickman]

Quickie also regained her senses and she pulled herself to her feet.  She jogged over to Sakura and Wily.  "What happened?  I'm off to go see what's up with Steiner and a hole in the ground, the next thing I know, I'm taking an unexpected flight!"

[White-Jet]

Posu and Nega popped out from the hallway, barely noticing a near out-winded Kojiro, whose blue hair had bounced back to its usual straightness, with the mild different being the wavy, straggled tussle from the earlier shock-wave.  Mime Jr. laughed at the unfortunate change in hairstyle before grabbing the hairband and yanking it back into a topknot, though messier than usual given its lack of maintaining its Mimicked experience when he tied it a few minutes ago.

The two cheering Pokemon saw Mewtwo stagger to a secluded corner of the Center and ran over to try and help him recover from whatever he had done to the doctor.  Kojiro watches before noticing Merrick slipping down to the tiled floor, a sinister smirk creeping across his face.

"What the hey...?" he mutters, "A little prize for getting part 1 of our proof towards Mewtwo's true identity...."

He and Mime Jr. then tiptoes towards the card as Merrick struggles to regain conscious while the system reboots from the earlier recoil and reaches down to pick it up.

[Sakura Leic]

Xuangzang noticed the Mime Jr. trying to pick up the card and flies over to him.

"Now what were you going to do with this?" He asks with a dangerous tone as he stepped on the the Card.

[Dr. Wily II]

Dr. Wily II slowly regained his senses, and fumbled for his glasses. Finding them on his lap, he placed them back on his head, only to grimaced at the sudden darkness. He removed them, and noticed they were his prescription sunglasses... Shrugging, he placed them back into his labcoat pocket, and managed to find his glasses, and put them on.

Slowly trying to get back on his feet, Dr. Wily II groaned in pain as he fell back onto his bum. Seeing Sakura and Quickie running towards him, he let out a tired smile. "Your guess is as good as mine... All I know is that I think I sprained my back..."

[Mirby]

"What do you think, Kovu? Should we approach these folks?" Taylor asked her Litleo. The little lion looked in the air as if he were thinking hard about it, then nodded his head happily to indicate they should. "I see, I see... Now should y'all hide in yer PokéBalls when we approach them, or should we just have y'all stroll up beside me?" The Pokémon all shook their heads, obviously not wanting to be cooped up at all. It wasn't that they didn't like it, as Taylor knew. They just were enjoying the weather outside. "Well okay then," she said, "let's go!" The group headed around the corner of the building they were peeking around and noticed the full extent of the damage. Surprised, Taylor gasped loudly, astonished at what had happened.

[Quickman]

Quickie looked around at the damage. "It's like a damn bomb went off out here!  First, the Superia causes an earthquake, then this!  Did someone's Electrode Self-destruct or something?  I mean, I didn't see any, just you and Mewtwo--" she stopped.  "Holy crap, you think Mewtwo did this?  What was he doing?"

[Sakura Leic]

"It seems like he was trying to suppress Wily's darker self." Sakura stated as she looked at his aura.

[Mirby]

Taylor noticed that no one had heard her gasp, but she still remained still as she surveyed the area. Glass broken, trees warped... A large blast of some sort of energy happened here, and it must have come from a powerful Pokémon... The one asleep against the building seemed a likely culprit, and the fact that it was resting meant that it must have ran out of energy somehow. Regardless of what happened, Taylor was just astonished that one Pokémon could do this much damage. Her Pokémon were equally shocked, but still they persevered. Steve, the Honedge at her side, shuddered eerily. Darunia the Pancham stomped around, obviously looking for a fight. Bobert the Froakie just ribbited quietly, calmly watching everyone. And her little Litleo Kovu, he stood proudly, ready to follow Taylor wherever she may go. She grinned at this, and resumed looking at the surrounding area.

[Dr. Wily II]

"..." Dr. Wily II didn't really want to say more on the subject of his dark side, and quickly changed the subject. "It's OK now, there's nothing more to say. Though would you mind helping me up? Starting to feel sore..."

[Quickman]

Quickie got behind Wily and put her hands under his arms, lifting him to his feet.  Once he was standing and she was sure that he wouldn't topple over, Quickie looked around once more.  "That was one hell of a blast...  Geez, Mewtwo must be exhausted," she returned her gaze to Wily, "though I can't imagine that getting hit by that blast was much fun, either."  She once again surveyed the damage, noting that Mewtwo was not present; he must have gone off somewhere.

[White-Jet]

Xuangzang noticed the Mime Jr. trying to pick up the card and flies over to him.

"Now what were you going to do with this?" He asks with a dangerous tone as he stepped on the the Card.

Both Mime Jr. and Kojiro irked at the sudden appearance of the shrunk Zekrom.  Not wanting to blow their cover so soon, Kojiro yanks Mime Jr. into his arms and waves his arms in a faux-disciplining manner.

"For shame," he scolds, "How many times have I told you not to touch something that isn't yours!?  You don't know where that card came from!"

Mime Jr. only giggles as Kojiro marches to his rented room to secretly review the footage he had gotten so far.  Merrick watched, half conscious before shutting his eyes and checking to see how long it was going to take for his Tarot Systems to reset.  Given the power of the force and how hard he hit the wall, it seems he won't be flying or using his raw magical powers for another hour.  He decides to wait until Posu and Nega finish checking up on Mewtwo and come to check up on him next.

With Mewtwo snoozing quietly, Posu and Nega ran over to Merrick and used their Helping Hand to speed up the rebooting process, causing the screen to flash and revert back to the original color he appeared as.

[Quickman]

(Oh, Mewtwo is still around, just not where Quickie last saw him.  He's snoozing in some quiet corner, still, and right now, for all intents and purposes, is "gone.")

[Dr. Wily II]

Outside... "... You only live once... Hehe..." Dr. Wily II let out a tired laugh, slowly limping along with assistance from Quickie and Sakura.


Inside... Dr. Wily II slowly got back to his feet, and dusted himself. Looking down at the blue aura around his red scar, he smiled. "Mewtwo did it... But I wonder for how long..." Death peeked out from Dr. Wily II's shadow, before disappearing again.

[White-Jet]

(Fix'd)

Despite the card's Tarot System being restored, Merrick was still having problems getting back up.  Posu and Nega pulled the card over their heads, with the picture facing them, and began escorting him to the room where Chariot was currently sleeping in.  But along the way, they noticed a trainer with four Pokemon that appeared to have come from another region.  The two look to each other, then Merrick, who nods in acceptance, before heading over to greet the new Pokemon and their trainer.

[Mirby]

(I only have four Pokémon)

[White-Jet]

(...excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall and fix that post.... )

[Quickman]

After a long moment, Mewtwo opened his eyes and raised his head with a loud hissing inhale.  He yawned and blinked a few times, his blurry vision finally clearing, noticing the new trainer and their four unfamiliar Pokemon standing nearby.  As far as he could tell, they did not pay him much mind, but he froze where he was.  His head was feeling several sizes too big, stuffed with cotton.

[Dr. Wily II]

(Mmmm... Mewtwo has a Swirlix head...)
