Merrick compressed his lips as the ropes and tree of the Hanged Man energy shoots up and snags the good conscience into its upside down state.

Now would have been a good time to step in, but there was no telling how much the evil persona would be watching over the events. Last time he caught the Death energy that awakened the persona by surprise, but second chances are a miracle when it comes to dealing with self-aware energies. The mere detection of his good conscience detecting his presence could alert the more physically controlling side to catch on and rip him off his back before he even catches onto the reaction.

He decides to try something to at least keep the good conscience's spirits up without either side knowing they were being monitored by an outside force. He holds his scepter towards the top of his card and emits a dim light as warm as the sun, emitting a sense of calm and assurance each time the good conscience gazes upon it. If he can keep this up until the trial ends, he can at least spare Tarot Skitty a similar fate and an even longer trial that no one wants to sit through.

Inside...
Despite being in the same upside-down position as last time, Dr. Wily II felt strangely at ease this time around. Even the blood has stopped rushing to his head. Deep down, he knew he can regain control, he just needed more training. And nothing better than hanging upside-down for training.

Outside...
Dr. Wily II was just about to finish his toasted sandwich, and felt nothing out of the ordinary ever since the light-headedness went away.

Noticing no immediate reaction other than the good conscience seeing his warm light as an opportunity to strengthen his control, Merrick mentally sighs with relief as he keeps a careful watch on the output of his powers. He doesn't want to lose too much attention, otherwise, the energy will either be detected, or disappear, reverting the good conscience back to his hopeless, upside down state.

It wasn't long before the blinds were drawn open, and the school doctor came out. Upon closer inspection, the school doctor looked a bit like Dr. Wily II. Officer Jenny and her sister stood as the doctor approached them.

"He's fine, despite the injuries, he's healing well. He's still feeling a bit drowsy, but is muchly awake to speak to. Just don't overwork him."

With that, the doctor left. Officer Jenny and her sister entered the infirmary, and went over to where Mewtwo laid. Besides some bandages here and there, he did looked mostly fine. Officer Jenny approached the side of the bed, pulled up a chair, sat down, and spoke.

"Why Mewtwo. Why did you do it. Why help my sister, someone that you didn't know prior?"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #4629 on:** October 24, 2013, 05:44:01 AM

"I don't think I needed a reason to help her, she looked like she was in trouble and needed help. Wouldn't you do the same?" Mewtwo asked.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #4630 on:** October 24, 2013, 05:49:50 AM

"She's family though. It's a no-brainer. But I still don't understand one point. You could have easily deflected their attacks with your psychic powers. Why didn't you? Why did you let them injure you?"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #4631 on:** October 24, 2013, 05:55:44 AM

"I'm too powerful, I didn't want them to suffer something I couldn't forgive myself for. When you send something in motion it stays in motion, so can you imagine what would happen if I deflected their attacks?

And before you ask about levitation I would rather not bring too much attention to myself, I just want peace. And as I said before, violences brings more violence and hate brings more hate." Mewtwo answered.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #4632 on:** October 24, 2013, 06:06:10 AM

All these didn't make sense... Mewtwo... Had she been really wrong all this while? Was she really too bias against Mewtwo? Officer Jenny started to have a sort of mental break, and screamed at the top of her lungs, ending with her spazzing before collapsing on the ground.

... Officer Jenny fell off her seat, and fell on the cold courtroom floor, shocking her awake. She has a huge pounding headache, and after looking around, she confirmed that she was back in the courtroom. Slowly picking herself up, she wondered if all that was really a dream... Or a nightmare.

White-Jet · **Reply #4633 on:** October 24, 2013, 06:10:02 AM

Hierophant sees Jenny topple off her seat and decides to head over there and check up on her.

"You okay there, Ms. Jenny?" he asked.

Quickman · **Reply #4634 on:** October 24, 2013, 06:11:03 AM

The bailiff raised and eyebrow and approached her. "Ma'am, you alright? We have a lunch recess, so you can get something to eat if you'd like. I would've woken you sooner, but you looked like you needed the sleep."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #4635 on:** October 24, 2013, 06:20:37 AM

"I'm... Fine... Yes... Fine... Lunch huh... I guess I need the heat... The courtroom felt very cold..."

Getting onto her feet, Officer Jenny slowly made her way out.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #4636 on:** October 24, 2013, 06:23:02 AM

"Okay Hades back off for now, she looks like she had enough." Sakura ordered.

Hades mentally nodded as he left Jenny's shadow and went to find Domino to attach himself to her shadow and await further orders.

The Judge glanced at Officer Jenny fumble out of her seat, shrugged it off and continued eating his sandwich.

"Maybe I'll get pastrami next time." He said to himself, with his mouth full.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #4638 on:** October 24, 2013, 06:32:36 AM

(She wasn't screaming in real life, that was the end of the dream before she woke up and fell out of the chair.)

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #4639 on:** October 24, 2013, 06:35:15 AM

Instead of heading to the lobby to grab some food, Officer Jenny instead went to the restroom. Turning on a faucet, she splashed her face, and stared herself in the mirror. She looked even more haggard than when she was locked up in her room by her sister.

... Her sister. Her head began to pound heavily again as she tried to maintain balance. Officer Jenny splashed her face some more, and the pounding eased up. After a few more minutes, she made her way outside and towards the vending machine. She grabbed a Cinnabar Burger, as well as some Lemonade, and made her way back towards the courtroom.

(Well, usually if one was screaming in a dream, there will be screaming in real-life.)

White-Jet · **Reply #4640 on:** October 24, 2013, 06:36:22 AM

Hierophant watched as Jenny got up and headed for the courtroom exit before deciding to head back to his seat and finish eating the cheeky apple he pulled from his magic bag. He wanted to follow after Jenny to make sure she was able to find food by herself, but doesn't want to draw too much suspicion to the original source of her current behavior.

Meanwhile, Domino was on her way to the drunk tank, finishing the soda she had bought. Tossing the empty can into the trash, she relinquished her purse to security, walked through the metal detector, retrieved her bag, got her badge, and followed the security officer through the doors into the unit. A couple of drunkards made wolf whistles at her as she walked by, but she paid them no mind. Coming up to the unlocked holding cell at the end, she nodded to Lee. "Mind if I talk to Mewtwo for a minute?"

Lee looked to Kirby. "Alright if she talk to it?"

Kirby glanced up. "About what?"

Lee looked back to Domino. "About what?"

"Nothing much, I just want to explain something," Domino nodded.

Lee shrugged. "If Kirby's fine with it..."

"Yeah, she can come in," Kirby nodded.

Domino briefly bowed her head, then entered. She pulled up a folding chair and sat across from Mewtwo, who was finishing a sandwich. "I won't be too long, I just wanted to explain myself back there. I mean, yeah, my job's history right now, but don't take it as I'm leaving Team Rocket or anything. I love my job, but Giovanni can be really thick-headed."

Mewtwo nodded, but remained quiet to allow Domino to continue.

"Basically, if he destroyed you, that would be millions of dollars down the tube," Domino fidgeted with her purse, "and really, if his financial future means never getting you back, fine. Whatever. He'll thank me later when he's not in bankruptcy court."

"What are your plans, now? After your betrayal?"

Domino shrugged. "I'm not sure, really. I mean, I have a job I can go to. I can just stick with my medical assistant job for a while, until something better comes up, or I patch things up with Giovanni. I'm not totally ruined, but right now? I definitely won't be heading back to headquarters any time soon."

Mewtwo gave a slow nod. "And your accomplices?"

"He'll be fine," Domino nodded.

For a long and awkward moment, silence descended between them. Mewtwo was the first to break it. "I want to thank you. For your help. It was quite unexpected."

Domino cracked a grin. "You're welcome. Just... don't think we're buddies now, okay? I have my own life to attend to," she stood and looked Mewtwo in the eyes, "and so do you." Turning, she left the room and headed back for the main hall.

Meanwhile, the rest of Taylor's pals were hanging out outside the courtroom, sparring a bit for fun, when suddenly... a bright flash enveloped Bobert.

"What's happening? Is this... evolution?" she asked. The light quickly subsided, revealing Bobert had finally evolved into Frogadier. "Nice! Also sweet scarf bro!" Bobert hopped around happily and high-fived Taylor on the compliment. Darunia was pouting a bit nearby, obviously wanting to evolve as well.

Quickman · **Reply #4644 on:** October 24, 2013, 07:32:38 AM

(His scarf is made from his tongue!)

Domino came up the hallway, seeing Taylor and her new Frogadier. "Nice Pokemon. Is that a scarf?"

Mirby · **Reply #4645 on:** October 24, 2013, 07:54:42 AM

(No, not yet. That's Greninja with the tongue scarf. Frogadier has the foam scarf)

"Made up of bubbles? Yes it is. Stylish, isn't it?" Taylor replied. Bobert hopped up and down happily.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #4646 on:** October 24, 2013, 08:12:23 AM

Hades was curious about the new Pokemon and desperately wanted to surprise it but decided against it so he wouldn't blow his cover.

Quickman · **Reply #4647 on:** October 24, 2013, 08:13:33 AM

(FOAMY SPIT SCARF D:)

"What region are they from?" Domino was tempted to take photos of the Pokemon, but decided not to. "I'm not familiar with them."

White-Jet · **Reply #4648 on:** October 24, 2013, 08:26:27 AM

Hierophant had noticed a sudden change in Tarot Energy going on outside and decides to head over there to see what was going on, noticing one of Taylor's Pokemon had recently evolved. He didn't want to interrupt anything and decides to stay on the other side of the courtroom doors and watch what other changes the Pokemon had undergone.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #4649 on:** October 24, 2013, 08:38:03 AM

Back inside the courtroom, Officer Jenny was biting into her Cinnabar Burger, and sweating profusely from the sheer spiciness of the burger. Even the Lemonade wasn't doing much to help ease the spice.

"What is going on? A moment ago, I was feeling so cold. Now I don't feel that cold anymore!"

Unable to bear anymore, Officer Jenny put the burger to one side, and finished off the rest of her Lemonade.

Dr. Wily II had finished his sandwich, and was making his way back, when he passed by Taylor and her group of Pokemon, as well as Domino.

"Interesting frog Pokemon there, I would so love to dissect it some time... Also thank you for having Steve. Without him, I won't be here again today!"

With that, he laughed in a very sinister tone, and went back into the courtroom, ignoring Hierophant.
