A week has pasted, and Peter has been going around the city catching bad guys in secret, the authorities are not sure how they feel about him quite yet. Some think he's just seeking attention, while others seem to like him, all the while some are in the middle just waiting to see what happens. The Daily Mewgle (Celadon Cities leading newspaper) however is convinced that Spinarak-man is dangerous, and the moment he does something bad, they're sure to put it on the front page news. Sure enough that day came when Spinarak-man was reported to have committed several robberies throughout the city. Word quickly spreads, and the Daily Mewgle is quick to take sides. The odd thing about these robberies is that those who witnessed Spinarak-man commit the crimes couldn't recall anything about Spinarak-man using his webs, or really doing anything to confirm his identidy other than wearing his distinct outfit, though you wouldn't no this from reading the Daily Mewgle. The reason these witnesses didn't see Spinarak-man use any of his usual moves was because that wasn't Spinarak-man committing those crimes, it was an imposter. Peter soon hears word of this, and you can bet he will do something about it, but first he has to figure out what to do about an angry looking Flash storming down the hall. As Flash storms through, Peter tries to sneak off, after all there's no reason to cause trouble right now, but Flash isn't in the mood for trouble, "hey Catcher, can you believe the lies the press is giving about Spinarak-man?" said Flash. Turns out that Flash is a major pro Spinarak-man fan, not that Peter would dare tell Flash that he's Spinarak-man, after all he can't go telling people who his true identity is, especially with the rumors of Spinarak-man's crime spree going around. "uh ya, it's pretty odd that Spinarak-man would be doing this" said Peter. Flash was not amused by this, as he won't believe any of it, "Spinarak-man is innocent, and I will prove it, one way or another" said Flash. At that Flash heads down the hallway to continue telling anyone who passes by of how innocent Spinarak-man is, of course he's right, but Peter doesn't wanna risk being discovered. After school gets out Peter is on his way home, when some police cars zoom past, Peter quickly removes his street clothes having started wearing his Spinarak-man suit underneath, after putting on his mask, Spinarak-man quickly swings through town as he hears some citizens saying something about Spinarak-man, it must be that imposter. As Spinarak-man swings down, he finds that a bank has been broken in, Spinarak-man goes in "what happened here?" Asked Spinarak-man. Everyone quickly puts their hands up, they think he's back to do more harm "ok look, I'm not here to hurt you, that guy was an imposter..." before Spinarak-man had a chance to finish talking, he felt a tingle alerting him of danger, his Spinarak sense, "Stop right there" said Officer Jenny. Spinarak-man turned around to find several Jennies each pointing a gun at him. "look I'm not the thief" said Spinarak-man. The Jennies were not convinced, Spinarak-man needed to get away from them so he could catch the real culprit. Thinking fast Spinarak-man used String Shot on the guns that were pointed at him "sorry officers, but I need to find the real criminal, and don't worry, those webs dissolve after a few minutes" with that Spinarak-man left the scene to chase the phony. Hot in pursuit, Spinarak-man soon finds that there is in fact a fake Spinarak-man carrying a bag of money, the real Spinarak-man swings down from his web, landing a nice kick to the back of the imposter. Upon hitting him, the fake Spinarak-man suddenly changes his appearance, revealing himself to be wearing a disguise, "who are you?" Asked Spinarak-man. The man quickly introduced himself, "I'm the Kecleon, a master of disguise, and you sure took long enough to find me." Spinarak-man was surprised by this, it seems Peter wasn't the only human to have had their DNA spliced with a Pokemon, but before he could react the Kecleon stuck out his tongue, and gave Spinarak-man a lick, Spinarak-man became paralyzed, and couldn't move. With that the Kecleon ran off "we'll meet again Spinarak-man" he said as he got away safely. Sure enough there were enough people that saw what happened, allowing his name to be cleared, to his luck an old man with a bit of white hair, a mustache, and sunglasses on was even nice enough to spray some Paralyze Heal on him, curing the hero of his paralysis. "Thank's Stan" said Spinarak-man. "Don't mention it" said the old man that just gave him a Paralyze Heal. At that Spinarak-man started to swing through the city, but he was too late, Kecleon was gone, and it's starting to get late. With that Spinarak-man put his street clothes back on, and took off the mask as he headed home.
Upon arriving home, Aunt Mei was quick to wrap her arms around Peter, "I'm so glad you made it home safe" she said. Peter was starting to feel a little embarrassed by this "Aunt Mei, it's ok, it's not like I'm in any danger" said Peter. Aunt Mei told Peter that she doesn't want him going out late with Spinarak-man out there causing trouble, Peter was a little surprised to hear this, after all she's unknowingly talking about him. "what a shame, I was hoping to introduce you to my friends niece" said Mei. "Niece?" asked Peter. Anut Mei told Peter that her friend Anna Watson has a niece, and they live right next door, "she's about your age, and has such a wonderful personality" explained Mei. Peter had heard enough, he was not interested in meeting this girl, "uhh I'll think about it, but she really doesn't sound like my type" Peter said trying not to be rude. At that Peter went up to his room, and fell asleep.
The next day word got out of the imposter, and a good amount of the media has acknowledged that Spinarak-man was not the one committing crimes. Peter opens the Daily Mewgle up to see if they've acknowledged the innocence of Spinarak-man, and to no surprise they're not convinced. After skimming through the paper, Peter sees a want ad, the ad says that that Daily Mewgle is looking for pictures of Spinarak-man, this is perfect for Peter, aside from being experienced with photography, getting a few pictures of Spinarak-man is easy considering he is Spinarak-man. After school Peter gets his camera ready, and after ditching the street clothes, Spinarak-man poses a few pictures for the camera. After taking a couple of pictures, Spinarak-man grabs his camera, and puts his street clothes back on, Peter goes over to the Daily Mewgle to give them his pics. Upon entering the place, Peter goes to the front desk to a secretary by the name of Bianca Brant, "can I help you?" asked Bianca. Peter showed her the photos he had of Spinarak-man, Bianca was excited by this, and told Peter to come with her, but she quickly started running and tripped on her own feet, luckily the photos weren't harmed. "Are you ok? asked Peter. Bianca was fine, and told Peter that she tends to get excited too easily, so the two of them step into an office with several people inside, at the end was a man sitting at his desk with a buzz cut smoking a cigar, he must be the boss. "Mr. Jameson, you won't believe it, we got photos of Spinarak-man" Bianca said running over to him. Before Bianca could get too close to knocking the two of them over, Jameson stopped her in her tracks. Bianca told Peter to come over, and introduced the man as J. Jonah Jameson, the chief-editor and publisher of the Daily Mewgle. "So you got some picture of Spinarak-man? Well let's see what you got" said J. Jonah. J. Jonah examined the photos Peter had, and quickly gave them back. "So did you like them?" asked Peter. J. Jonah was not really amused though, and told Peter that he needs to get a better camera to take pictures in "tell ya what, I'll give you 200 pokedollars for them" said J. Jonah. Peter was not too thrilled by this, "the ad offered 1000 pokedollars for pictures of Spinarak-man" said Peter. "No it said 1000 pokedollars for good pictures of Spinarak-man, your pictures are mediocre at best, ok tell ya what, I'll give you 300 pokedollars for the pictures" with this Peter accepts the offer, and gives J. Jonah the pics. After giving the pics to J. Jonah, he tells Peter that Bianca will write him his check, but right as he says this, a loud scream is heard coming from Bianca. Peter and J. Jonah quickly run over to the front desk "what happened?" asked Peter. Bianca told them it was nothing, that she just tripped on her own feet, though for some odd reason her voice sounded a bit different from before, in an almost familiar sort of way. Peter didn't really care though, after Bianca finished writing Peter his check, she walked over to the office, in an almost suspicious sort of way, oh well. On his way out, Peter heard what sounded like a smoke bomb go off inside the building, without another thought Peter put on his Spinarak-man costume and ran inside. "Ok what's going on here?" Asked Spinarak-man. refused to tell him anything, luckily his assistant Robbie Robertson was more than happy to explain things. Robbie Tells Spinarak-man that Bianca went over and stole some files containing government information that they're not allowed to release in the papers, then threw a smoke ball and fled. Upon remembering that Bianca sounded a bit off as he was about to leave, Spinarak-man realized something "that wasn't Bianca" he said. At that Spinarak-man dashed out the window in pursuit of what can only be the Kecleon. As Spinarak-man swung through town, he couldn't find any sign of the Kecleon, when all of a sudden his Spinarak senses tingled, Spinarak-man quickly jumped out of the way just in time. It was Kecleon once more trying to give Spinarak-man another lick, "you really think the same tricks gonna work on me twice?" asked Spinarak-man. Kecleon was prepared however, as he quickly pulled out a pokeball "Kecleon I choose you" said the Kecleon. A Kecleon came out of the pokeball ready to attack, "face it Spinarak-man, Kecleon have much higher stats that some weak Spinarak" said the Kecleon. Spinarak-man wasn't worried, "it doesn't matter if you're stronger, if I keep you from escaping" said Spinarak-man. With that Spinarak-man made a web using his web shooter to cover Kecleon, "you could say I just used Spider Web, can't escape from that can we now" Said Spinarak-man. The Kecleon wasn't happy with this, and pulled out another pokeball "ditto go!" said the Kecleon. A Ditto cam out of the pokeball, away from the web that has Kecleon trapped. "ditto, I want you to transform into a pokemon that knows Flamethrower, and burn through this spider web, and don't worry about hurting Kecleon" said the Kecleon. Ditto did just that, and transformed into a Magmar, as a Magmar Ditto used Flamethrower to burn through the webs, Kecleon also got slightly hurt by the attack, but it wasn't bad. "is that even allowed?" asked Spinarak-man. "Who cares, I'm the villain, I can screw the rules all I want" said the Kecleon. Kecleon (the Pokemon, not the trainer) having been hit by Flamethrower suddenly changed from its normal green color, to a red color. "ok what gives?" asked Spinarak-man. "I allowed my Kecleon to be affected by my transformed Dittos Flamethrower attack, activating Kecleons Color Change ability, which turns Kecleon into whatever type of attack hit last" said the Kecleon. "and since Flamethrower is a fire type move..." said Spinarak-man. "that's right, he's a fire type, and with Ditto transforming into a Magmar, you're up against two fire type Pokemon. What now Spinarak-man?" asked the Kecleon. Spinarak-man thinking fast wrapped the two Pokemon into a cocoon, but the two quickly burned through the webs. "Ditto, use Flamethrower, and Kecleon use Psybeam" said the Kecleon. The two attacks hit Spinarak-man, knocking him back against a fire hydrant. After getting up Spinarak-man had an idea. "What's wrong? Special attacks all ya got?" taunted Spinarak-man. At that, the Kacleon fell for the taunt "Ok fine then, Kecleon Sucker Punch, and Ditto Fire Punch" he said. The two Pokemon come charging in at Spinarak-man, but at the last second Spinarak-man uses his webs to pull himself out of the way, causing the two attacks to hit the fire hydrant. The hydrant broke causing water to come out quickly hitting the two pokemon. Being that both Pokemon have currently been turned into fire types, the water quickly knocks them out. "Curse you Spinarak-man" said the Kecleon as he called his two Pokemon back. As Spinarak-man was about to trap the Kecleon in his webs, a bunch of police cars arrive at the scene. "Stop right there" said one of the officer Jennies stepping out of the car. At that Spinarak-man decided that it would be best to leave, so he uses his webs to go back home.
The next day in school Dawn appears to be happy to see Peter. "hey Peter, lets go hang out today" said Dawn. Peter hasn't really had much time to spend with Dawn, or anyone lately due to spending much of his time fighting crime, so Peter is more than happy to spend some time with her "sure, how about 4:00, lets meet up at the Rocket Game corner" said Peter. After school was over, Peter headed home, when suddenly an explosion was seen. Peter quickly took off his outer clothes, and put his mask on, and Spinarak-man swung to the scene. The explosion came from Game Freak studios, as Spinarak-man got to the place, he saw several of the Game Freak employees tied up and their mouths taped shut. "What's going on here" asked Spinarak-man as he pulled the tape off their mouths. The employees explained that a man came in looking like one of the employees, and stole some top secret government information from our files. "Government secret information? Why would you guys even have such information here?" asked Spinarak-man. "We're Game Freak studios, we have all the data this game has, including stuff that was programed in, but never used in the final cut, we also happen to have all the government info in the world" explained the staff. With that Spinarak-man concluded that the Kecleon was behind this, after all the Kecleon is a master of disguise. Spinarak-man lept out the building in pursuit of the Kecleon, but was having trouble finding him, after all he could be disguised as anyone. After searching for several hours, Spinarak-man remembered that he was supposed to meet up with Dawn at 4:00, after taking off the Spinarak-man suit Peter tried to check the time, but he left his watch at home. Peter quickly found a gentleman with an oddly familiar red zigzag stripe on his belly, "excuse me sir, do you have the time?" asked Peter. The gentleman checked his watch and told him that it's currently 5:04, and then walked away with a grin. For some reason that gentleman's voice sounded somewhat familiar, but he didn't have time to think of that seeing as he's now an hour late for his plans with Dawn. Peter ran as fast as he could to the Rocket Gamer corner,but by the time he got there, it was too late, Dawn had already left. As Peter got ready to head home, a loud scream from inside the Rocket Gamer corner. Peter quickly switched to Spinarak-man, and jumped into action. Spinarak-man ran inside to find that the Kecleon was inside standing right beside a poster on the wall with Dawn Stacy as his hostage. "Ah Spinarak-man, good to see you, hope you don't mind me holding your friend hostage" said the Kecleon. Spinarak-man looked at the Kecleon, and noticed that he has a red zigzag pattern on his belly, thinking back Spinarak-man remembered that when he first saw the Kecleon disguised as him, and realized that he had that same zigzag on him then, and that Gentlemen that told him the time was also him, he knows who Spinarak-man really is. Spinarak-man swung over to attack the Kecleon, but the Kecleon pulled out a pokeball and said "Kecleon I choose..." before The Kecleon got a chance to throw his pokeball, Spinarak-man quickly shot a web at the pokeball, making it unable to open. "Curse you Spinarak-man" cried the Kecleon. Spinarack-man declared that the same tricks won't work on him twice, and punches the Kecleon, knocking him out cold. After knocking out the Kecleon, Spinarack-man unties Dawn Stacy, and tells her to flee like everyone else has, she hasn't realize why the Kecleon choose her as a hostage it seems. "thanks for saving me, but who are you?" asked Dawn. "oh you know, just your friendly neighborhood Spinarak-man" he replied. soon enough the police arrived, and Captain George Stacy enters the building "Ok what happened here" asked George Stacy. "no need to worry, I've caught the bad guy" said Spinarak-man. George Stacy quickly examined the Kecleon, who has now been covered in spiderwebs, making him unable to move. "you did this Spinarak-man?" asked George Stacy. Spinarak-man nods, and the other cops take the Kecleon away. George Stacy tells Spinarak-man that he heard about him saving his daughter, and reveals that The Kecleon is actually a wanted spy working for Sony by the name of Dmitri Smerdyakov, Dmitri has been trying to steal all of Nintendo's data in hopes of providing Sony with a better game system. "I may have misjudged you Spinarak-man, you're alright" said George Stacy. At that Spinarak-man left the scene, and headed back home.
