Apprentice wanders on, having let go of Joe once he became aware of his returning vision. He and Pixie take their own time observing the area and getting to know the unfamiliar trinkets decorating it.

(Oh no am I gonna miss the reunion with Quickie and Mewtwo while I'm over in Kalos? D:)

Quickman · **Reply #2227 on:** February 18, 2014, 06:17:56 AM

Quickie nodded slowly. "Ah yes... That type. Anywho, welcome and make yourselves at home. Plenty of room in here." She gestured to the large, open apartment with a set of stairs leading to a loft. "Bathroom's over there, bedroom's upstairs, and sound carries, but really, Mewtwo could sleep through a nuclear blast, so don't worry about waking him."

She moved to the kitchen area, which was little more than a corner of the open space, and began to pull out menus. "As for tacos, there's a Mexican grill I can get takeout from. We've been living on pizza and Chinese, it's time for a change."

Trak led Joe and Runaway to the set of couches off toward the large warehouse windows and sat. She remained quiet, as soon the topic of Twoey would no doubt come up.

After passing out the menu, Quickie looked up. "So, what brings you all the way out here?"

(And yes. Yes you are. But, don't worry. It'll be preserved for posterity.)

"Well 2 things really." Sakura sighed "As you can probably already guess I've been involved with stopping Team Flora and kind of need the University's help. They've been experimenting with powders from grass type Pokemon in order to make very strong drugs and we kind of need a vaccine for that. The other thing is probably going to upset both you and Mewtwo and we may eventually need his help once again....."

Quickman · **Reply #2229 on:** February 18, 2014, 06:27:15 AM

Quickie shrugged. "Honestly, if he's needed, then he's needed. The incident on campus, though, he wasn't needed. People were just picking on him. But, if it's something that truly needs his involvement, then he'll have to decide. When he gets up. Naps like he's dead to the world."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2230 on:** February 18, 2014, 06:32:44 AM

".....I've also found out that Dr. Wily II is involved with Team Flora too. He's been experimenting with powders as well and has made one that seems to have turned the entire population of Fallarbor into mindless zombies according to Joe and an insane Hypno that we're going to send to Sabrina to take care of. We need Mewtwo to use his Disable attack on him again when we get the chance, it's the least I can do since it was you know who's last wish for his master to abandon his twisted ways." Sakura said looking down.

Quickman · **Reply #2231 on:** February 18, 2014, 06:36:41 AM

Quickie nodded slowly. "That's definitely something he can do and would likely help with."

The door upstairs opened and the catwalk creaked as Mewtwo made his way groggily down the steps, yawning. He gave a slight nod and headed straight for the bathroom.

"Speak of the devil," Quickie smirked and then ordered tacos and other takeout.

"Bit scragglier than mine," Trak mused quietly.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2232 on:** February 18, 2014, 06:38:48 AM

"Considering he's dealing with mid terms and what he's studying I'm not surprised." Sakura stated to Trak softly.

Quickman · **Reply #2233 on:** February 18, 2014, 06:41:14 AM

Mewtwo emerged from the bathroom and went to the kitchenette and began to make himself a cup of coffee. "I apologize for not saying much. It has been a long day. Though, it is good to see you again. What brings you out here?"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2234 on:** February 18, 2014, 06:47:23 AM

"Oh the usual, trying to stop a crazy Team of lunatics who want to commit genocide with Hoenn, wacky adventures with even wackier team mates, Wily II's return from the depths of who knows where making me and everyone lose sleep because of the sick [parasitic bomb] he's doing, and delegating duties wherever I can and gathering information however I can because I have the resources to do so and friends with more resources." Sakura summarized "I also caught a Chespin who just evolved into a Quilladin before we came here."

As she said this she released Arthur who indeed evolved into a Quilladin after battling some of the Pokemon on Route 111 at the Rest Stop.

"Quill!" Arthur cried as he extended his hand to Mewtwo for a hand shake.

Quickman · **Reply #2235 on:** February 18, 2014, 06:51:58 AM

Mewtwo stooped and shook Arthur's hand, and then poured himself a cup of coffee, to which he then added so much milk and creamer that it became less coffee and more coffee-flavored sugar milk. "Talk of Team Flora has been going around the Bio Lab for a while, particularly their powders. I am unable to say much more than that, as we are working with the authorities in some capacity, and such information is not public record."

Quickie finished ordering and hung up. "Food will be here in about a half-hour. Got you some arepas."

Mewtwo nodded, smiling a bit as he drank his coffee. "Suffice to say, that is my new vice."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2236 on:** February 18, 2014, 06:57:34 AM

"Yeah and apparently Wily made a nasty powder formula that reduced Fallarbor's population to mindless zombies." Sakura sighed "Merrick AKA Hierophant is still there and I assume it's because of that Casanova wannabe who has some major pollen allergies and can't leave him alone to his own devices, not that I blame him. I know he can take care of himself, but I hope he doesn't get himself in too much trouble."

"I've never had an Arepa, what is it?" Xuangzang asked curiously.

Arthur was curious too, as he always was since Sakura caught him.

Quickman · **Reply #2237 on:** February 18, 2014, 07:05:21 AM

"Cheese-based sorcery," Quickie replied. "Corn bread stuffed with cheese. I ordered enough for everyone, as Mewtwo won't share, he's that hooked."

Mewtwo responded by sticking out his tongue, and then taking another drink of coffee. "As for the powder... at most I can say is that I am involved in a project concerning different types of powders. It is mainly for a grant, and is not necessarily part of my studies, but it does involve genetics. Thus, I was assigned to the team. The powder consists of spores, and by altering the genetic structure of the spores, we can produce various effects. I work mainly in gene-splicing, though most of the work is done in a program, where we can produce a virtual sample, and then apply that to the actual spores." He took another swallow of coffee. "Many a long night in the lab..."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2238 on:** February 18, 2014, 07:10:17 AM

"That sure sounds complicated, and I think it would even go over my dad's head since genetics isn't his specialty." Sakura tilted her head "Well at least on that level."

"Should we tell him about our other friend, I don't think he's ever tried an Arepa before either." Xuangzang stated.

"Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't since Kalos isn't exactly famous for it's Mexican food." Sakura giggled "Well Trak, I think this is a good time as any to introduce Twoey to Mewtwo."

Pyro · **Reply #2239 on:** February 18, 2014, 07:13:57 AM

"The merry men throw wicked parties!" Pyro said, "Even Dave, Paul, and Gary came to play!"

Quickman · **Reply #2240 on:** February 18, 2014, 07:19:27 AM

Trak nodded, pulled out the Master Ball, and released Twoey. "Mewtwo, meet Twoey. Twoey, meet Mewtwo."

Mewtwo's jaw practically hit the floor and he almost dropped his coffee.

Twoey gave a tired grin, as he was "napping" while inside his ball. "Hi. Uh, wow, this is so weird..." He walked over to Mewtwo and extended his hand. "This is so weird. Like looking in the mirror. You know, I've heard about you, but never met you until now, and I'd like to shake your hand. Would you shake my hand?"

It took a moment, but Mewtwo shook Twoey's hand. "...How? Who made you? When?? Are there others? I... I--just--when--what??"

Quickie looked to Sakura. "I think we broke him."

Pyro · **Reply #2241 on:** February 18, 2014, 07:22:11 AM

Pyro looked at Twoey, then Mewtwo, then Twoey, then Mewtwo until his head turned into a blur and plume of smoke rose from his head. The confusion did not last long. He grinned again.

"Wonder Twin powers, ACTIVATE!"

"So Trigon is there too along with Giratina, that's strangely interesting." Sakura noted.

Quickie looked to Sakura. "I think we broke him."

"Yeah I honestly had the same reaction too." Sakura laughed "As for how, apparently Team Rocket gave some samples of Mew's genes or your genes to Team Flare. I've also had to deal with some Team Flare stuff indirectly but thanks to Domino's and Taylor's help it seems to have been resolved according to the Kalos police. Now Taylor should be taking on the Elite Four to earn her own Champion title."

Quickman · **Reply #2243 on:** February 18, 2014, 07:35:30 AM

Mewtwo found a seat and sat, still in shock. "So... are you a clone of me...?"

Twoey shrugged. "I don't know."

"How old are you?"

"I don't know. Six?"

Mewtwo was silent for a very long moment as he took that age into consideration. "No. It does not match up. From my own research, any genetic material of mine was kept in cold storage, and nowhere in the released documents did it say that any of it was released until the entire project was declassified three years ago."

"Yeah," Trak stood and walked over. "His age really doesn't match up, and when I caught him, Wulfric said he looked about three, but he was also really skinny."

Mewtwo raised an eyebrow and his words took on an edge. "Caught?"

Trak cringed a bit, realizing that she may have hit a hot-button issue. "In the Unknown Dungeon in the Pokemon Village. But, but, it's okay, as I take really good care of him and he's really happy!"

Twoey nodded. "Yep, the best thing that happened to me was getting a trainer."

Mewtwo just stared at him.

White-Jet · **Reply #2244 on:** February 18, 2014, 07:38:56 AM

Apprentice remained nonchalant about the sudden reaction of the taller, older-sounding Mewtwo as he casually picks up one of the corn breads and munches on it. Pixie, meanwhile, waves her proboscis about, sniffing around for a flower to lap the nectar off of.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #2245 on:** February 18, 2014, 07:46:23 AM

"Yeah weird stuff there, and let me tell you I'm surprised he can be like this with what those Flare Scientists were doing, and I don't even know a quarter of it." Sakura sighed "Those scientists are sick, and guess what Wily was working for them too."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #2246 on:** February 18, 2014, 08:05:23 AM

Joe sat quietly as the conversation raged on between Mewtwo, and Twoey. At least Quickie sounded fine, as is Mewtwo. Even if he sounded broken back there. It's true that his sight is returning, just some black spots in his vision remaining.

Back in Fallarbor Town, a masked Trainer stood, hiding amongst the bumbling Trainers. Getting his bearings, he sneaked out if the group, and into an alleyway not far from the Pokemon Center. He fiddled with his ear, and seemed to talk to himself.

... Within Team Flora's Secret HQ, Dr. Wily II was admiring the Oddish, who was completely bald now, and started to gnaw on one of its feet. Laughing at the sight, he was interrupted by a call in his earpiece.

"Yes? Ah you. What!? Are you sure!? ... A light show? I see... Carry on with the observation, and deploy the zombies as you see fit. Wily out.

After ending the call, Dr. Wily II tightened his right fist.

"So you made your move... Merrick.

Back at Fallarbor Town, the masked Trainer came out if the alleyway, and headed towards the Pokemon Center.

Quickman · **Reply #2247 on:** February 18, 2014, 08:28:45 AM

The food had arrived and Quickie set it out on the table for people to just grab whatever, all the while talking to Sakura. "I take it this one didn't escape."

Trak shook her head. "Nope. He was dumped in the Pokemon Village, where I caught him."

Mewtwo listened for a moment, and then spoke up again. "...How long were you held captive, if I may ask?"

Twoey shrugged. "Too long. They did things to me, some stuff I've been trying to forget. But, it's not all bad. Check this out." He grabbed a magnet off the fridge and slapped it to his head where it stuck.

Mewtwo's eyes widened and he gaped in silence.

Trak walked over, reached up, and took the magnet off, replacing it on the fridge. "He has a magnet under the skin. I didn't want to upset you, and I was really hoping he wouldn't bring it up, but," she shrugged, "what's done is done."

"Yeah, that's not so bad, actually," Twoey nodded. "It's... the only thing I can really talk about." He fell silent and pulled up a seat. "Sorry. It's just... meeting you is something I never thought would happen. I thought I was the only one, and then I find out that I have a cousin! It's surreal... to think that you're the only one of your kind... to think that there is no one like you anywhere; no one who can really understand you, know how you feel about being a copy. But, now I met you and," he sniffed, "and I think I'm going to cry."

Mewtwo was silent as he allowed Twoey's words to sink in. As shocking as it was to find out that he was mass-produced in some quantity, it was also a massive relief to meet another clone; to meet someone who felt the exact same way about being a clone. Though, he had to count himself as lucky. He was able to escape.

Hierophant overheard the conversation. Though relieved that something was being done about it, he was more concerned for Merrick's wellbeing. He hasn't used enough of the higher-level healing spells to reverse the effects of the entire town and the lack of a second light suggests something must have happened to Jeff that's causing him to not get involved.

For now, all he can do is nurture the good energy within the psychotic doctor's persona and continue waiting for the right opportunity to help it flourish back to its original strength.

Back at Fallarbor Town, the masked Trainer came out if the alleyway, and headed towards the Pokemon Center.

Upon arriving at the lobby, Merrick noticed someone heading for the Pokemon Center. At first he thought it was another trainer from out of town coming in to get information on what was going on, but a non-existent miter, bearing the number of the Emperor in the center, and adorned with ten Pentacles had him somewhat nervous about what really brought him here.

He pondered why he didn't sense this guy earlier, but given the pile of Tarot suits that were billowing out of the other trainers, it probably would have been hard for him to even bother digging up that suspicious sensation.

Deciding it best not to reveal his suspicions, he feigned ignorance and continues towards the front desk, keeping a mental watch on when and if the trainer will attempt to surprise him.

It was a close match, but Taylor barely managed to eke out the victory! With that, her team was taken into the Hall of Fame and registered alongside her. She grinned happily and shook Diantha's hand as it was a thrilling match. Those of her team who weren't fully evolved managed to reach that level in the process as well. She left the League and flew back home to Vaniville Town to rest in her bed and say hi to her mom.

After waking up, she went to the airport to catch the plane back to Hoenn. As she waited to board, she dialed up Trak on the Holo Caster to pass on the news about Zoroark's family. After all, Trak was probably still with Sakura and Joe and the gang.
