At the lab, the next morning, Hikari stepped in, as Tenma was lying on the table, with her arms removed and her body naked, with a tarp over her body, showing her head. She leaned by her and said, "So, you're Tenma Prime…"
Tenma was turned on, as she spoke, with her eyes clicked open and her mouth moving like a puppet's mouth, "Hello. I am Tenma. Anything you say, I will listen."
Hikari whispered, "Did Luka give her a memory wipe? Strange. AND I specifically said that she remains whole, before I speak to her!"
One technician said, "We had to re-repair her arms, for a double check."
Hikari answered, "Oh."
Tenma beeped, "Honey. Honey. Anything you say, I will listen."
Hikari held her face and whispered, "Poor Tenma…"
She lifted her up, and in a seated position, with her long black hair covering her chest. Hikari felt her face and whispered, "You are lonely, are you, child? Well, now that I own the café, and Yakumo… well, let's say retiring… I have many uses for you. Platinum Prettiness welcomes you… but I have to approve of your appearance, first, because some dead robot is going to get what is coming to her!"
She seethed, "Luka, you imbecile!"
Tenma spoke, "Kiss me."
Hikari asked, "Huh?"
Tenma remarked, as she blushed to Hikari, "Kiss me, Karasuma. I love you. Kiss me. Kiss me, Karasuma."
Some of Tenma's old memories were recovering, as Hikari asked, "Huh? My name's no-. Uh, who's Karasuma?"
Tenma let out a blushed sexy face, as she winked, "Anything you say, I will listen, honey. Kiss me. Kiss me."
Hikari deactivated her, as she laid her back down on the table. She said, "It's a good thing she's not fondling me. Her arms were removed. Strange robot girl… Tenma Prime is ours, finally… but I question Luka's duties. Methinks that she plot this, without my consent. Damn her!"
She marched off, as she called to the technicians, "ALL Techies! Have Tenma Prime rebuilt, fully clothed in her normal clothes, and never speak of this moment! And where the hell's Luka?"
One technician said, "She's in your office. And she had a guest with her."
"A guest? Surely not Miss Sawachika. She's banned from my café." Hikari huffed.

"SHE'S IN JAIL?!" She roared at Luka, as she was in her office, yelling at Luka.
Luka bowed and said, "Yes, she is."
Hikari cried, "And why did you do that?"
Luka replied, "Tenma Prime is property of Platinum Prettiness and WPCA. Under the terms and conditions of each robot owned by us, if anyone steals or harbors a WPCA Robot, then the penalty to that crime is incarceration for up to 10 years. However, since Miss Sawachika has suffered her first charge, she is only to remain in jail, until bail is posted, which is today. However, she stripped of the following privileges: NO phone call, NO appeal, and Miss Sawachika is not allowed to enter or go near the café, within 500 feet, or she will go to prison, for the rest of her natural life."
Hikari nodded, "Despicable, but true."
Luka smiled, "So, now, we have both Tsukamoto Robots, and we can open your dream, just as you promised."
Hikari sighed, "I guess you're right. But a Jenny-Tron, harboring Tenma Prime, it was a useful tactic, but I call it FOUL!"
Luka said, "At least we are rid of our problems."
Hikari said, "And one more thing… I understand you have a guest. Who is she?"
A woman appeared in long white hair, done in a ponytail, with a gray blouse and purple bellbottoms. Luka said, "I think that's her, now."
The woman also has huge breasts, about 3 inches bigger than Luka's. She introduced herself, "Good morning, fellow Nurse Joy-Bot. I am Nurse Joy-Bot 8.3 – from the Johto Region. My name is Haku."
Hikari smiled, "It's nice to meet you, Joy-Bot eight-poi-."
She barked, "Who's this bimbo?"
Luka said, "My new lover…"
They cuddled each other, as Hikari was shocked, "WHAT? NEW lover?"
Luka said, "When I got the message that you wanted me to see you, and I knew you were pretty sore… so I called my friend, down in Johto, to defend me."
Haku said, "That's right, Hikari. She was only trying to help."
Luka added, "Plus, I kinda knew you would break up with me, being we're lovers…"
Hikari seethed, "I was never your lover! Plus… I was overworked! I felt an urge of passion within me."
She cried, "Shut up! You don't know me! And a Joy-Bot dating a Jenny-Tron? That's filth! It goes against WPCA protocol!"
Haku replied, "Oh, look who's talking!"
Hikari replied, realizing what she said, "I stand corrected."
Luka giggled to Haku, as Luka said, "And well… you were too focused on your job…"
Hikari cried, "I was gonna tell you that I have no time for dating! We're robots, served to serve all Pokémon and humans, to make the world peaceful and tranquil, and for efficiency. We're not cheap… well, sleazy women…"
Luka huffed, "You never party hard, huh?"
Hikari pounded her desk and barked, "ENOUGH! Luka, I am impressed that you brought Tenma Prime, but I disapprove of your methods! And I distinctly said that Tenma should be whole, and her arms are removed! It was acceptable, but a red flag!"
"At least Platinum Prettiness is going to open."
Hikari glared, "Without you, of course. YOU'RE FIRED!"
Luka smirked, "You can't fire me. You are only programmed by your bosses, as one of the executives."
Haku smiled, "She's right. Who are you to judge for that?"
Hikari argued, "She's my responsibility, and I regret welcoming her to my ambition."
Haku pouted, as Luka barked, "You can't!"
"SHUT UP! I said, you're fired! AND I MEAN IT!"
"Then I'll tell the WPCA."
"They already know."
"The Pokémon Academy?"
"You're beaten, you squid!"
"Fine. But don't come crying to me, when you are dismantled and reprogrammed as a robot mannequin, when the boys in HQ praise me for following orders, while you accuse me for something that was by the book. Tenma Prime was harbored by Miss Sawachika, being that Tenma is now owned by WPCA, and now she pays the price! You cannot accuse me for something I did, that's impartial and objective. It's justified, Hikari!"
Hikari sobbed, as she collapsed on her chair, in complete shock. She grumbled, "You win this round…"
She added, "But I REFUSE to have this… this… thing, your new companion, as another new employee! Besides, we're already staffed, as it is."
Haku said, "It's alright. I only came to be with her, unlike you, Miss Business Robot Nurse."
Hikari sniffled, "You can't do this to me. You can't denounce me as a friend and lover."
Luka huffed, as she walked off, "You should've thought of that, before you got pissy at me. Haku! Let's leave, now. I think we should make out in the café's storage room, while Hikari can be Miss Bossy Gears!"
Hikari roared, "YOU'RE LUCKY I CANNOT HAVE YOU DISMANTLED, YOU JEALOUS ANDROID!"
She hollered, as she was crying, "GET OUT OF MY LIFE! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! GO ON! GET OUT!"
She wept, "Go have fun with your new girlfriend! See if I care!"
Hikari was upset, as she was heartbroken by Luka, being dumped. She sniffled, wiping her tears, "What have I done? Sawachika's in jail, Tenma Prime is ours, and Luka turned on me. This job is stressful than I thought. What caused us to be apart?"
She looked up, as she said, "I was careful. My creators made me follow orders… I have Tenma, we have the café, the café will open soon… WHERE DID EVERYTHING GO WRONG?"
She saw Luka's picture on her desk, and snarled, throwing it to a wall, smashing the picture frame to pieces.

At the café, Luka and Haku looked at Yakumo, who was still encased in her glass cell. Haku blushed, "Oh. So, she's Yakumo?"
"The former owner. Hikari managed to expel her battery life, just to retire. I'm happy for her." Luka blushed, "But I never liked the Cats they have here."
Haku held her arm and whispered, "Say… If we have time, how about we recharge, all lunch hour, and then have a naughty idea."
Luka replied, "No, not yet. I want to see more of Tenma Prime. But I doubt Hikari will permit me."
Haku said, "Oh, don't be such a baby."
They walked together, holding hands, and going to a private place.
XXXXX
In a police station, Eri was in her cell, as she was sad. She whispered, "Stupid WPCA… Tenma's gone. Yakumo's gone. And I'm stuck here, at least forever."
A Jenny-Tron was guarding the cell, as she instructed, "Not really. You're only here, until bail is made. And that's 25,000 Yen."
"Twenty-five grand?!" Eri yelled.
The robot officer remarked, "Yes. And I don't suppose you have the money for it."
Eri sighed, "If you didn't revoked my one phone call, I'd be out of here. This is all Luka & Hikari's fault."
The Jenny Robot sneered, "Well, then, I guess you're staying here, until someone bails you out."
Eri growled, "I hate robots… ALL OF THEM! DAMN YOU, YOU MACHINES!"
She roared, as she was shaking the bars, "GOD! DAMN YOU! I HATE YOU SO MUCH!"
Jenny-Tron rattled the bars with her nightstick, as she barked, "QUIET, YOU! And get your hands off the bars."
Eri sat back down, as she sobbed, "Why me? What can I do? Why didn't I rescue Tenma, sooner?"
She wept, as she held her face, "Tenma… I'm so sorry…"
A voice called, "Rich Girl?"
Eri gasped, "Huh? Oh, no…"
She heard a familiar voice, as a man with slick black hair, in shades and a goatee, in a black jacket and jeans, with a backpack of his art tools. It was Kenji Harima, Eri's friend. He called, "Is that you?"
She cried, "Whiskers?! What the hell are you doing here?"
Harima explained, "I needed to have a private place to work on my next manga. However, two robot officers met with me, as I asked them about a place to do my work. They agreed, and threw me inside this jail cell. Perfect, roomy, and quiet, until you showed up. Lemme guess, you wanted time alone in jail?"
Eri barked, "I was arrested, dummy! You're lucky I am not scowling at you, from long distance!"
He asked, "Yeah, I know. So, what of Tenma, you ask?"
She said, "I'll explain, when I get out. Can you be a dear and contact my friends, just to pay off 25,000 Yen, in bail?"
He replied, "Sorry, Rich Girl. I already used up my one phone call, just to talk to my publisher, saying that I'm going to work nonstop. But I didn't disclose where I am. Strange how they give you only one phone call."
She sobbed, "I knew it… And you are dirt poor, too… I failed you, Tenma… I failed you, Yakumo… I failed the café…"
Harima asked, "Tenma's Sister? What happened?"
Eri sobbed, "What difference does it make? I'm in jail, with no friends at all to help me… I'd call Mikoto-, oh… right… She's one of the robots in the café… and a traitor. Not Akira, or Nakamura… And I cannot dare call Mom and Dad…"
She wept, as she bawled, "No… NO! I can't be in jail… Everything is wrecked! I should've NEVER talked Yakumo into selling the café!"
He asked, "The café is sold?"
"To a group called WPCA – World Pokémon Civilian Association. They are most famous for robot nurses and robot officers, called "Jenny-Trons" and "Joy-Bots". And they are in numerous regions in the world."
"Oh… No wonder those cops look the same. Cute with blue hair, but not as cute as Tenma."
Eri was sulking, as Harima continued his comic. He said, "Well, as soon as I finish a part of my manuscript, I'll call Miss Itoko and have you out of here."
"But how? You're dirt poor, and Miss Osakabe kicked you out! Plus, you wasted a phone call for your stupid comic book!"
"There's a payphone, outside the station, blocks away. I'll ask the guard to let me out, and we'll pay off the bail."
Eri was crying, as she asked, "Why? Why are you doing this for me?"
He said, "I could care less about you… I worry about Tenma and her sister, despite being androids. Even so, you're literally the only one I love. And being that Tenma is a robot, and the girl I loved… I only wanted to see her smile. That's all."
She blubbered, "Whis-. Whiskers…"
He said, as he was finishing up, "As soon as I'm done, I'll get you out. Trust me. It's the least I can do, Rich Girl."
Eri sniffled, "Please do."
That night, Hikari entered the lab and saw Tenma, in her school uniform, lying on the table, motionless and deactivated. Hikari nodded and thought, "I feel bad for what I'm about to do… since Luka & Haku have already left to that sleazy hotel. Uh, only because it has comforts of a traditional family home, with a built-in fireplace… and that it's so roomy and cozy…"
She shook her head and said, "Nah! Skip it! I have to make things right. Luka & Haku are destroying my dream. All because I made Yakumo an obsolete robot… and that Tenma is used for certain tasks. Miss Sawachika's in jail, and it's all my fault. To be honest, she did have Tenma in her possession, illegally, but only because she's WPCA Property."
She placed Tenma in a seated position and turned her on. Tenma opened her eyes and beeped. She turned to Hikari and said, in a polite voice, "Hello. I am Tenma. Welcome, honey. How are you, today?"
Hikari said, "I'm fine. My name is-."
Tenma halted her and giggled, "Oh, don't be so modest. I am Tenma. Anything you say, I will listen."
"At least she's not a robot puppet, anymore. Good. She's durable and flexible-. URK! I mean, very handy. Sadly, her chest seems-! AAGH! I mean… Oh, no."
Tenma blushed, "Tease."
She leaned by her and said, "Oh, darling… honey… Say that you will stay with me. I want to know you more, than we have done. I mean, I can serve you tea and cookies. Anything you like. Would you like to dance with me? I can play with you."
Hikari barked, "Okay, Robo-Bunny! Disperse! You don't need to give me a huge crushing wave of romance! I'm always going under one rule: Business BEFORE pleasure! And sadly, I'm NOT a pleasure unit! I never was!"
Tenma beeped, "Oh? You're a robot?"
Hikari said, "So are you."
Tenma smiled, "Well, that's because I'm built this way, Honey. See anything you like? Come on, honey."
She didn't listen, since she was being flirty. Hikari breathed heavily and said, "Okay… Just what are you doing to me?"
She thought, as she realized, "Oh. No! NO! It can't be… I'm in love with Luka, but only because we're in the same company… but… I could be in love with this thing! Am I… in love… with Tenma Prime?"
Hikari said, as she slapped herself, "FOCUS! Damn it, I'm not that type of robot!"
She calmed down and said, "Anyway, I better run a few tests for her. All the techies are off for the night, so it looks like I'm on my own. Anyway, better get started."
She instructed her, "Tenma Prime. Stand up, please."
Tenma responded, "As you wish."
She got off the table and stood in place. Hikari examined her and said, "Amazing… Short height, long hair, cute child-like body, and an adorable smile. She's almost like me… a perfect Joy-Bot."
She said to Tenma, "Alright, begin walking in this room, from to this spot, by the door, and back. I need to see if you're working in your lower legs' motor skills. Besides, it's been days since you were turned on, and weeks, since you were on two feet."
Tenma walked to the door, slowly, and went to the door. She turned around and walked back to Hikari. Hikari smiled and said, "Perfect. Her walking motors are working fine."
Suddenly, Tenma started to trip her left leg, and then stumbled onto Hikari. They both fell to the floor, as Hikari moaned, while on the floor, "Ouch… On second thought, her legs need to be looked at and repaired. Plus… owwww…"
Hikari passed out, as her head had a lump on the back of her head. Tenma was on all-fours, as she looked at Hikari's face, with her eyes in swirls and her mouth curled up. Tenma whispered, "Honey… Kiss me… Kiss me, Karasuma…"
She continued to say "Kiss me", as Hikari was unconscious, not listening to her whispers of romance.

Meanwhile, at the police station, Harima let Eri out of the cell, and then paid for Eri's bail. He said, "Here. My cousin and former roommate pitched in to pay for her release."
The officer in blue said, "Here. We're good. I believe it covers it. Miss Sawachika, you're free to go. But you're banned from the café, by orders of Miss Hikari."
Harima asked, "Curious… Are you a Jenny-Bot?"
The girl robot said, "Yes. I happen to wear this plain pale blue uniform. But I disapprove of this attire."
Eri bowed and said, "I am sorry, ma'am. But I still hate your types."
The Jenny-Tron said, "Granted. But you don't insult me. Not ever."
Harima said, "Now, now. Leave her alone. She's just not used to your type."
Eri barked, "Excuse me?!"
He said, "Rich Girl, behave!"
The Jenny Robot barked, "Okay, just what do you mean by NOT your type, Miss Sawachika? We are all programmed to serve and protect the citizens, no matter where you go."
Eri huffed, "Easy for you to say. I bet you have Pokémon GO in your CPU brains."
Harima yelled, "RICH GIRL!"
The Jenny Robot barked, "HOW DARE YOU! Pokémon GO is only for iPhones; NOT for use of WPCA Androids or mechanical property!"
Eri snapped, "I hate your types. I admit that what I did was wrong-."
The Jenny Robot grabbed her wrist, "Bail denied. I am Officer Jenny. You're under arrest."
He cried, "HEY! Let her go!"
Jenny replied, "Sir, please. Refrain from interfering, or I shall have you apprehended."
He stepped back, as Eri cried, "WHISKERS?! WHY?"
He cried, "I went to jail for a visit, and for private time! I'm not staying here, much longer!"
Jenny pulled Eri back, but she shoved her to a wall. Eri cried, "GET OFF ME!"
Jenny landed on her back, on the wall, starting to spaz a bit. She tripped down and landed on her chest. She beeped, "I'm Jenny-Jenny… Jenny-Jenny… I'm Jenny… under-, Jenny-, Jen-, under arr-rr-rr-rr-rr-rr-rr-rrest… I'm offi-off-off-ff-ff-f-offic-,Denied. I am Jenny-Jen-."
Her body started to buzz and beep, as Harima grabbed Eri's wrist, and snatched the bail money he placed on the desk. He said, "Come on! RUN!"
Eri cried, "But, that robot will-!"
He said, as they ran, "Don't ask! JUST GO!"
They left the police station, as the Jenny Robot stopped moving, slurring slowly, and emitting smoke from her body.

Meanwhile, out of town, Harima & Eri walked by the street, as he said, "Damn. Now I have to give the money back to Itoko, since that robot didn't want to accept the bail money, because of your stupid mouth."
Eri huffed, "Well, it'll be your fault, once we're sent to prison."
Harima said, "Relax. The robot didn't see us, since her memories are shorting out, and that she didn't listen to our conversation."
Eri said, "Oh. So, I'm off the hook?"
"For now. Now, we have to find Tenma and Yakumo. But… I don't think you can enter the café."
"I'm not even allowed to enter about 500 feet, within the building. Can you assist me?"
"Well, I can't be so sure. Tenma's in the café, and you say that Yakumo is in a glass display, as a robot statue."
"Yes, but… Hikari is evil. I wish we have to stop her."
"Who?"
"A Joy-Bot. She's like the Joy-Bots, except that she has cute hair… but not like the basic ones."
"I see. You think I can meet with her? You can only be in the way, since the WPCA has your number."
"I know. But I'm scared. That robot in pink hair hates me, and that she was the reason I was arrested, for harboring Tenma, who is NOW WPCA Property. I doubt she and Hikari will accept you."
"At the usual. We could use your Eri Test Robot. I mean, Rich Girl, it won't be like you, but she's perfect as a spy."
"Can't. Remember when Yakumo Cats were introduced? She started to break down, and was broken beyond repair."
Harima glared, "Then, accuse the evil robot in pink, or blackmail her into anything."
She replied, "Sadly, I can't. If I see that bitch in my face, I want to smash her perky face and big boobs off, with a crowbar… a pitchfork… and a huge baseball bat… and even a leather whip and chains… and make her suffer pain and pleasure, and see how she feels."
He concluded, "Then, they must be stopped. Hikari… that pink-haired girl… Those WPCA Robots… It has to stop. But how?"

The next morning, Tenma was lying on Hikari, as her batteries had died down, while Hikari was out cold. She started to moan, as she opened her eyes, slowly, and her eyes lit up. She groaned, "Ow… My head. Tenma Prime? Tenma?"
Tenma was still on all-fours, frozen stiff. Hikari started to crawl out slowly. She grumbled, "Wasted my whole day… playing Hard-to-Get… with a love-crazed gynoid!"
She bumped her head on the table, and tried to get out of Tenma's position. As she was getting up, Tenma's arms gave out and plopped her head onto Hikari's chest. Hikari blushed continuously, as she moaned, "Uh… Tenma Prime… Oh… uhhh…"
She groaned, "Get a hold of yourself, Hikari. She's a robot. And she's not your type, or model number, or operating system. But… her head on my bosom…"
She was in awe, as Luka went in, smiling evilly. She called, "Tenma Prime~! Time to have a little test-!"
She gasped, as Hikari looked at Luka. Hikari moaned, "It's not what you think; like you even care, anyway."
Luka barked, as she was angry, "So, this is why you broke up with me?"
Hikari yelled, "YOU broke up with me, you pink-haired skank! You had Haku, only for your sexual functions, while ruining my reputation! Also, you're a sick fembot, who can't obey a Jenny-Tron's functionality!"
She sobbed, "Also #2… can you get her off of me?"
Luka snarled, "No. I was thinking of breaking up with Haku, after I was crying, last night, knowing I made a huge mistake. But now, while you are cozying up this bunny rabbit… I CHANGED MY MIND!"
She ran off, with tears flying from her eyes, as Hikari cried, "WAIT! LUKA! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK! BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE! I MEAN, SERIOUSLY! NO, SERIOUSLY! SHE'S FREAKING HEAVY! LUKA? HELP!"
Hikari griped, still pinned down, "OKAY, FINE! BE THAT WAY!"
Hikari tried to get up, but moaned, "I'm just glad it wasn't my hip. And that would be super embarrassing. Luka, you coward! I had nothing to do wi-! I WAS TESTING HER FUNCTIONS!"
She lied back down and sobbed, "Why me? My day's gotten worse off."
A technician in a white coat asked, as he was confused and stunned, "Uh, madam… You need help?"
Hikari moaned, "What took you so long? I'm stuck here! She weighs a ton, when turned off!"
He lifted Tenma up, as Hikari crawled out and stood up. The technician placed Tenma on the table. Hikari bowed and apologized for her duties, last night, since no one was around, and that she was testing Tenma. He replied that it was to help out the cause. She even showed the reports of Tenma, saying that her lower motoring functions need to be repaired. She walked off, and added, "Oh, one last thing: If this moment, which never took place, gets leaked, you're fired. Understand?"
The technician nodded, "Understood, ma'am. Why, was it awkward?"
She ran off, blushing, as he said, "What? I was just curious."
She ran to Luka, who was standing beside the display of Yakumo. Hikari barked, "Luka, will you listen to me? It wasn't that sort of way."
Luka barked, "Oh, go to hell! I know what's going on! You're in love with that flat-chested bunny, more than me!"
Hikari gasped, "THAT'S A LIE!"
Luka smirked, "Oh, no? Then why are you blushing? I can sense it in your Performance History."
"Th-th-th-th-th-that's not your business to snoop at-!"
"Oh, please! You're not even programmed for sex, anyway, since you and me are family-friendly robots."
"Well, thank you for blessing me and my Disney-esque body, you coral pink-haired tramp, who jilted me for a damn gray-haired harlequin!"
"I DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS!"
"No, you don't!"
Luka stormed off, as she yelled, "I don't care what you do. We're through! AND THAT'S FINAL!"
Hikari yelled back, "WE WERE NOT DATING, IN THE-! AUGH!"
She moaned, "I give up."
She turned to Yakumo and pouted, "It's my fault. Why did I deactivate you, Yakumo? What have I done?"
She sobbed, as she was on her knees, "It's my fault… What have I done? What have I done?"
She cried, as she wept, knowing that she made things for the worse. She was caught by Luka, thinking that Tenma and Hikari were having a late night make-out session, when it was only just a minor test run.

"BITCH!" Luka snarled, as she and Haku were outside the café.
"What happened? Is it over? We're through, are we?" Haku asked her.
"Only me and Miss Bossy Britches! We don't need her!" Luka said, as he was furious, "I hate her so much… She chose Tenma Prime, over me… AFTER EVERYTHING I DID FOR HER, JUST TO BRING HER IN?"
Haku said, "Oh, relax, darling… You don't need that Nurse Joy-Bot mannequin. You got me, right?"
Luka sighed, "Yeah. I can't believe she turned on me, for a stupid relic!"
Haku kissed her and said, "Come on. I'll treat you to takoyaki."
"But… I was supposed to have my Luka Octopus serve."
"Nah, we don't need robots like that. Just mindless dress-up dolls."
"But-."
Haku dragged Luka off, as Luka cried, "Wa-wa-wa-wait! Haku? Hold on. I, uh… At least…"
They left the café, heading to a place where they sold freshly cooked takoyaki. In the café, Hikari was back in her office and said on the intercom, "ALL technicians… If you are done with the repairs on Tenma Prime. Have her in my office, alone, at 6pm. This is to remain classified. If anybody leak this meeting or if anyone decides to sneak in to observe the situation, then consider yourselves laid off! That is all."
She loosened her tie and turned off the intercom. She said, "I'm sorry, Yakumo. But I have to learn more about your sister. Business before pleasure… that is my function."
She beeped, "Acknowledged. Joy-Bot must work in business hours. NO breaks are necessary. Shutting down."
She powered down and was recharging. She waited until six at night, to meet with Tenma, for an important meeting.
At six at night, Tenma was rolled in by three technicians. One of them said that they'll be waiting for pickup or emergency repairs. Hikari stated that it's only for a while. She will notify them of when she'll be finished. They left the office, as Hikari locked the door. She sighed and whispered, "Good. I have to remember… Business before pleasure."
Tenma was seated, with her hands on her lap, and her eyes closed. Hikari huffed, "Let's get this over with. Luka wouldn't talk to me. I heard that they just left the café. Good riddance! Who needs that woman? I don't need her… or her Octo-, ooh… I should've let her take the Octo-Luka as her going away gift. I mean, she loves the squids."
She blushed, as she approached Tenma, "I'm sorry that it had to be this way, Tenma. Should I call you Tenma? I mean, you were once a human. But I have to come clean. I know I cannot revive Yakumo, without proper procedures, but…"
"AHEM! Miss Hikari?"
As soon as she was leaning to her, men in white and grey suits appeared, as Hikari said, "AH! Just in time, people."
The men were members of the WPCA, and a few were scientists and reporters. Hikari called a meeting to the press, as Hikari said, "Gentlemen, give me a few minutes, as I'm about to give Tenma Prime a bit of a reworking…"
One man in grey said, "No time. Please show us the android."
Hikari said, "Rats. I was gonna show you from the inside of her, but I guess… Why Wait?"
Another man in grey, with black hair and a beard, said to her, "Miss Nurse Joy-Bot 7.7, this is what you came for us to witness?"
Hikari nodded, "Yep. This is what I was referring to, as she is a pride and joy of this establishment, which I'll cover, later. Anyhow…"
She explained to the board, "Fellow World Pokémon/Civilian Association delegates and executives. What I have here is a genuine model that is constructed by the late Tsukamoto, an engineer in robotics. I'm sure you're well aware of the Yakumo Model, outside in our café's lobby. Here now is her sister, Tenma, the first model created by Tsukamoto. She is the perfect android, built by him – perfect, lifelike, and cute. She is even so realistic that she is even made to act human."
She unbuttoned her blazer and white shirt, and opened them, showing Tenma's bare chest. She then continued, "Excuse me for undressing her, but… This is how she looks, so lifelike and realistic. The WPCA is known to be family friendly, and are minimal on the human anatomy. But there was one thing that is overlooked, comparing these robots to ours. Allow me to demonstrate."
She activated Tenma, and suddenly responded, "Hello, Honey. I am Tenma. What can I do for you, today? Anything you say, I will listen."
The men were astonished, as Hikari blushed in embarrassment. She even said, "As you can see, this fembot is donned in five different modes of personality. This is her Default Mode."
Tenma beeped, remained seated, "Ah. Gentlemen. What a pleasant surprise. You are so mature-looking and handsome."
One man in white asked, "I, uh, does she-… You know…"
Hikari asked, "Sex? Oh, I don't think so. But being she's like the perfect 18-year old woman, it's yet to be perfected. So, in short, making her learn carnal pleasures is forbidden, but it's possible to recreate her, as a toy for adults. But not here in this café, or any WPCA owned establishment. Our goal is to recreate a family-friendly environment. Platinum Prettiness is a café dedicated to that, since this place was once a flirty android-manned cosplay café, with the androids dancing and flirting with customers, scantily-clad."
She approached Tenma's head and said, "Now, while our Nurse Joy-Bots and Officer Jenny-Trons are working in full capacity, what does the secret lie behind her head? Tenma is so perfect that she last up to years on end."
She detached her face off and showed her facial circuitry, including chrome plating, LED lightbulb eyes, and a speaker for a mouth. Hikari said, "Now, here is what she looks like, with the latest in robotics technology. Lemme remove this…"
Hikari also removed her long black hair from her head, showing her hairless and faceless head, for a more detailed look. Hikari set the hair down, as the men were amazed, while a few were taking pictures. Hikari stated, "Please. No flash photography. Please use your iPhones for imagery, so you cannot harm this delicate piece of machinery."
One man in grey said to her, "Miss Hikari Joy-Bot, while this is a beautiful machine, she looks so real. But I disapprove of her technology that may be advanced for our Jennies and Joys to ascertain."
Hikari said, "Not a problem. Besides, these robots run the same OS as does us. Tenma is a living breathing lifelike computer, whereas us Joys and Jennies are simply wind-up dolls. While the newer updated models are now available in Kalos and Alola, we were thinking of making ALL our robots more advanced than her."
One man in white, in gray hair, said to her, "Can you produce schematics of this beauty? She is a very delicate android. But will it affect their functions?"
Hikari smiled and giggled, "No need to worry. Come next week, I shall give you full details on her exoskeleton, circuitry, and material. Everything about this beauty will be fully explained. The Jennies and Joys are to be lifelike."
One scientist asked, "Should we completely dismantle her, and see what she does, inside herself?"
Hikari huffed, "Not a chance. Besides, what I will show you, within the week, will surprise you, including every single detail on what to use. For starters, she has realistic skin, made of synthetic rubber, her hair is lifelike and soft, and not to mention how they maneuver so well, especially since they walk a lot."
She concluded, "In short, with her technology and her marvelous lifelike persona, we can make our fellow Jennies and Joys more advanced and alert, ten times the normal Jenny-Tron or Joy-Bot, depending on functionality!"
The men agreed, as Tenma was beeping, moving her head slowly and doll-like, "Anything you say. I will listen. I am Tenma. Honey. Honey."
Hikari gasped, as she carefully put Tenma's face back on. She replaced her hair on her head, and then brushed it lightly. She said, as she redressed her school uniform, "Sorry, I forgot to reattach her. But you know how she moves, a la her facial features."
Tenma smiles, as she beeped, "Hi. I'm Tenma."
She frowns, and then sobbed, "Oh… Dear me… Why are there so many people?"
When Hikari fixed Tenma, she reverted to a random form. This time, she went to Very Polite.
She spoke in a quiet voice, "So many… people… Is this a meeting, or a conference?"
The men were amazed, as a few reporters were writing down her performance, while the scientists were recording everything she does, in her Very Polite mode. Hikari asked, as she was confused, "Uh, what are you doing, Tenma?"
Tenma blushed, as she said, "I… I'm sorry… OH! Who are you? I never knew you were so-."
Hikari turned her off, as Tenma remained in place, with a blank look on her face, and her mouth straight. Hikari said, as she was uneasy, "Uh… You sure you don't want a spare Tenma Bunny to learn more about her? I can't demolish this one."
One man in black hair and glasses said, "No need. We don't need to destroy them, just to search inside. If you can give us the schematics on the Tenma Prime Prototype, this Tenma you have here, then I shall greenlit this café, as you call it, but only for the sake of family entertainment, and assure that lewdness is strictly prohibited."
Hikari said, "I'll try, as long as the customers agree, unless they want something for their… NYAGH! …urges…"
The man said, "See that you do. Carry on, Nurse Joy."
The men leave, as Hikari bowed, "Thank you. Have a good evening, gentlemen. I promise I shall deliver you those schematics, by next week."
They left, as Hikari locked the door. She whispered, as she was panicking, "Crap… What do I do? I have the café, but what now? Also, didn't I just lock this door? Eh, whatever. One of my technicians have an extra key, as long as it's for repairing me… But nonetheless, this exhibit of Miss Tenma Prime is a success. I wonder why I forgot about it."
She returned to Tenma, as she looked at the clock, "Seven at night. Great… What a world we're living in, to talk about the marvels of beauty and perfection, built by this gynoid's father. Yakumo told me all about him, before she decided to become a statue on display… He's a marvelous creator. I'm sorry that he's gone. I want to spread his message to us, about how you're built, externally and internally."
She activated Tenma, as she was sitting upward. Tenma spoke, "Hello, honey. What can I do for you, today?"
Hikari asked, "Miss Tenma… Remember our brief conversation and test run, last night?"
Tenma beeped, as she was in her Default Mode, "No. File not found."
"Good. I just don't want this leaked to anybody, including my ex-lover and employees. Now then…"
"Yes, honey. I can do as you ask. Anything you say, I-."
"SHUT UP! Will you shut up, already, with that stupid catchphrase?! GOD! You're like a broken record!"
"My humble apologies. But it's how I-."
"…am programmed that way." Hikari spoke, at the same time as Tenma.
"I know, I know, I know. It's a stupid protocol." She added, "But still, we must talk."
She sat by her and held her hand, "It's about your sister… Yakumo."
Tenma asked, "Yakumo? Who's Yakumo?"
Hikari asked, "Huh? Don't be stupid! You know of her, right? She created you, as a perfect girl."
She then paused and asked, "You… You don't remember, at all?"
Tenma beeped, "Who is Yakumo? Is she my sister?"
Hikari said, "Yes. But… She's not working, anymore."
"Who? Who is Yakumo? File not found."
"I see…" Hikari said, as she felt her face, "It appears that she deleted some unwanted data. But it seems that all knowledge of Yakumo has been erased. But I never authorized a complete memory wipe. Could it be that her memories are being deleted, by herself?"
She snorted, "This has Luka written all over…"
She then asked the robot girl, "Anyway… Do you remember anything about yourself?"
Tenma beeped, "I am Tenma. My full name is Tenma Tsukamoto. My birthday is November 30th. My functions are to be a perfect girl, only for humans to understand me. My dream is to find the love of my life. My age is classified. My measurements are classified. My purpose as a Tenma Bunny is to please the people, nicely and politely."
Hikari huffed, but blushed, "She's obviously lost it."
Tenma stood up and said, "Ma'am. May I leave? I have to get back to work. I have to get back to wo-."
She froze, as her Default Mode started to reset, switching to a random mode. Hikari asked, "You okay, Tenma?"
Her mode changed, as Tenma was standing on her two feet. She was set back to Very Polite. Hikari doesn't know that she can switch to different modes: Default, Cute and Sweet, Very Polite, Mature, Alluring. Tenma bowed and asked, "Oh, my word. It's sudden, but it's an honor to meet you, ma'am. OH! Where are those nice men? I want to greet them!"
Hikari asked, "Why the polite tone?"
She said in a quiet voice, "I'm… I'm just shy around women, like you. You're so mature and kind. Plus, I overheard what happened to Yakumo. Is she going to be alright?"
Hikari asked, "Okay. Just what the hell is going on? Why did you switched from robotic to polite?"
Tenma blushed, as she turned around. She said, "I'm sorry. But I have been under a lot of stress. I'm not into this sort of torture, but it's how I am. You made me a cute bunny, and as a fashion model, I want to show off, PG-style~."
Hikari barked, "Enough! Damn it, Tenma Prime! Stand down! Just how are you doing that?"
Tenma beeped, in a robotic tone, "I am Tenma. I come in five settings, for your enjoyment."
She switched to Mature, as she winked to her, in a deep female voice, "Hello, honey. Gee, you're awfully beautiful. I want you."
Hikari whispered, "Like last night."
She sat in her desk, as she thought, "This is one stubborn little robot. And why does she say that?"
Tenma leaned to her desk, and then said, in an alluring voice, "Boss… Come to me… I want to hold you. Anything you say, I will listen."
Hikari asked, "Is that your personality?"
Tenma beeped, "My highest is alluring. I also go by Default, Cute and Sweet, Very Polite, and my current mode: Mature. After all, I'm mature enough to be cuddling by my customers and my boss. But NO kissing. I rather not."
Hikari barked, "Alright, one more thing. How do I adjust yourself?"
Tenma turned around and patted her back, above her hip, as she said, "Turn me."
Hikari lifted her shirt up, showing her back panel. She opened it and saw a small dial inside, with five settings labeled. Hikari blushed, "Well, I'll be… She comes in various personalities. Whoever created her, didn't skimp on perfection, and tried to make her emotional. Well, lemme see…"
She switched to Cute and Sweet, and Tenma reverted to her normal persona. She looked around and asked, "Huh? Where am I? How did I get here?"
Hikari blushed, "You're Tenma Tsukamoto?"
Tenma asked, "Hey! Who are you?"
Hikari said, "It's about Yakumo. Do not worry. I care for you, since we're one in the same… Tenma. You see, your sister is broken. And we're doing our best to fix her. She had an accident, and she will be in a hospital, for weeks… maybe months. It's too serious."
Tenma replied, as she was shocked, "My sister? She's… She's…"
Hikari held her hands and said, "I know you don't want to hear this, but I didn't want to break your heart."
Tenma responded, "NO! My sister is a robot?! Then, that must mean…"
She concluded, "She's not my creator!"
Hikari fell in a THUD, but then got up and cried, "WAIT! YOU MEAN YOU'RE A ROBOT, AND YOU NEVER EVEN SAY ANYTHING TO ANYONE?"
Tenma smiled, "Are you nuts? Of course I am a robot. And I thought my sister created me. But I guess that's thrown out. I wonder who created me…"
She pondered, as Hikari said, "Well, why didn't you say it to anyone?"
"I can keep a secret!" Tenma complained, "You think that I can become my own gynoid? I am human, to a point. I am very nice to others, even with a smile on my face."
Hikari was stunned and flabbergasted, knowing that Tenma knows she's a robot. She then said that her ambition has become destroyed, since she acts human, but doesn't want to say that she is. Tenma asked, "So, where am I?"
Hikari said, "You're in the Bunny Café. You see, this is my café, now. Your sister, before she was broken down, gave me the rights to own this café. However, to assure that we do not use you, we decided to retire your functions."
Tenma pouted, as she huffed, "I don't work for such a low-level perverted café!"
"Yes, you do!" Hikari barked, "All these months you worked at that place, you were an employee, obeying your boss, who was your sister, and all to entertain people! That is why."
Tenma was stunned, but she felt dirty. She sobbed, as she was wailing, "WHY DO I FEEL DIRTY?"
She plummeted into her own dark abyss of self-pity, as she bawled:
"I'M A TOOL OF THE PERVERTS! MY LIFE SUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!"
She bawled, as she was crying on the desk, knowing that she was used. She then wept, "I hate you, Yakumo… I hate you… WAAAAAAAAH! I HATE YOU! Why did you lie to me? WHY?"
Hikari sniffled, "I knew this wouldn't work… Tenma, don't cry."
Tenma shouted, "DON'T TOUCH ME, YOU JERK!"
She wept, "I'm a tool of perverts… I've become one of them. Why did she lie to me? Why? I worked my ass off to be a nice older sister, and my little sister made me a… a… A SEX DOLL!"
"You're NOT a sex doll. You're more of an entertainment robot. NO sex, NO lust, NO romance, NO nothing. Just family friendly fun to customers, like in a Cosplay Café."
"You mean like El Cado?"
"Hey! This is you we're talking about. So, you hate the café, right?"
Tenma nodded, as Hikari said, "Well, I can make sure that nothing like this will happen. You see, Tenma… the café, dubbed Platinum Prettiness, will be an all-female, all-animated café, minus the lust and romance. I had to make the robots stay the same as they were, but they are limited to their functions. So, I'm making sure that you cannot witness it. Plus, being that there are robots of you, and you're Tenma Prime, you don't need to worry about working here. You're fired."
Tenma huffed, "Good. I don't want to work in a crabby place with a bunch of… of… sleazy vixens in scantily clad bikinis!"
Hikari asked, "What about bunny outfits, in different animals? There are cats, bunnies, chicks, and foxes. And you get your own cuddly fluffy tail and ears, too."
Tenma winced, "What? You mean… like dressed as animals? I thought it was-."
"Believe me, it's not that sort of jazz. I'm a family-friendly robot. And this is a family-friendly company. Nothing more, nothing less. Besides, you won't even work here, at all."
"That's a stretch. If Yakumo told me about this, sooner, this wouldn't be happening. I hope she pulls through… SO I CAN DISMANTLE HER, THE UGLY BITCH!"
"Easy, Tenma!" Hikari calmed her down, as she added, "She'll come back. I cannot say, but… We cannot be sure if we can save her… It's questionable. I'm so sorry."
Tenma hugged her and said, "You're right… I'm sorry. I… I…"
She asked, "Wait… a minute… JUST WHO ARE YOU? I never know you, before?"
Hikari said, "My name's Hikari."
"Oh. I see…"
Hikari gulped, as she whispered, "Here goes…"
She turned away and said, "Hikari Karasuma."
Tenma asked, "Karasuma? Kara… su… ma?"
She started to beep, as she switched to her highest mode: Alluring. She blushed, as she said, in a sexy voice, "Oh, Karasuma… I love you. I wanted to say this to you, for a very long time. Please, say that you will be my boyfriend?"
Hikari whispered, "Karasuma's a boy?"
She shook her head and said, "Nope. It's fine, Miss Tenma… I love you, too."
She held her waist, as Tenma blushed, while whispering to her, "You know, Karasuma… I never knew you were that sexy. Do me, honey. Anything you say, I will listen."
Hikari blushed, "Oh, Tenma… Kiss me…"
It happened. Hikari suddenly fell in love with a very alluring Tenma, who thinks that Hikari is her crush, Oji Karasuma. Unfortunately, she lost the image of him, during repairs. Though, somehow, Hikari didn't mind, or doesn't care, or for that matter, didn't know. They started to kiss passionately, as Tenma clamped onto her breasts. She whispered, as she added, "You know… I'm not a lesbian. I'm not into that sort of fembot action…"
She blushed, as she removed Hikari's blazer, "But never mind. I love you, Karasuma. You're such a package."
Hikari smiled, "Thanks, Tenma. In fact, you ever been kissed, for so long?"
"Never… until now…"
They continued to kiss and make out, throwing their clothes onto the floor, leaving only their bra and panties. Hikari let her hair down, flowing over her body, and said, "Well, Tenma… perhaps I can find a position for you…"
Tenma, still in her alluring state, whispered, "How about on the desk, honey?"
"I just cleaned it. No. But… Oh, who cares?"
She placed Tenma on the desk and started to kiss her, again. Tenma reached for her hip and removed Hikari's panties. But she swatted her hand away and whispered, "Uh-uh. Sorry, I don't go all the way. These stay on."
Tenma smiled and said, "In that case, honey, I'll leave mine on, too."
Hikari giggled, "Smart thinking."
They continued to kiss, all night long, until they were completely tired out.
Back at Eri's house, she tried to pick up the café, but the lines were busy. She stated, "Even though I am not allowed, I have to cell her and ask for an appeal, since I wanted to protect her from that evil woman. Those robots are on my nerves. Harima already left, and he said that he'll pitch in, but I have to do something…"
She sat down on the couch, and whispered, "Poor Tenma… Yakumo, I'm sorry I let you down. If only… If only…"
She pondered, as she was pouting in sadness. As she was lamenting over her defeat by Hikari & Luka, a figure was looming by the window. It was Luka, who saw her feeling upset. She whispered, in annoyance, "How did she break out of jail? The bail was set, and she has no friends, other than Tenma or Yakumo. So, who was it? I have to get rid of her… and Tenma. It's breaking us apart."
She left, as Eri did not notice. She was still sad, because Tenma was already taken away by WPCA and Platinum Prettiness.

That night, at the café, Luka appeared, dressed in black, walking into the café. She whispered, "No one's around. But I have to get in there and work out something. Plan B – Jail wasn't good enough. Time to let out mudslinging."
She bumped into Mikoto, who was standing in attention. She saluted and beeped, "Hello. Fellow Jenny-Tron. I am Mona. What brings you here, Officer Luka?"
Luka huffed, "Don't scare me like that!"
Mikoto bowed, "Acknowledged. Now, state your business, Officer Luka."
Luka whispered, "Where's Yakumo? I need to use her…"
"She's permanently deactivated. She is a relic."
"Fine. Then, take me to the lab, and let me work on a Yakumo Cat model."
"Do you have clearance?"
"I'm an Officer Jenny-Tron, yes."
"Sorry. But Miss Hikari has forbid any Jenny-Tron or Joy-Bot to enter the Maintenance Room, without permission, or unless it is an emergency repair job. Sadly, I cannot let you in."
She bowed, as Luka growled, "THIS IS AN ORDER! Let me through, or I tell Hikari on you!"
"Negative. I am programmed to protect the café. I cannot let you into the lab, Officer Luka. Miss Hikari has forbid any Jenny-Tron or Joy-Bot to enter the Maintenance Room, without permission, or unless it is an emergency repair job."
"Please?"
"Negative. You are forbidden to enter the Maintenance Room, unless you are in need of repairs."
"Come on, Officer Mona… Please?"
"Negative. Miss Hikari has forbid any Jenny-Tron or Joy-Bot to enter the Maintenance Room, without permission, or unless it is an emergency repair job."
Luka sighed, "Okay… this is getting monotonous. Power off, Officer Mona!"
"Negative. It is not the end of my hourly night shift."
BEEP! Whrrrr…
"Oh, yes, it is." She pressed a button on her blue blouse, and she slurred to nothing. Luka placed Mikoto on the wall, as she was motionless and frozen. Luka said, "Stupid former fox. Like talking to a computer firewall. Now then…"
She snuck into the lab and was looking to find a spare Yakumo Cat, to masquerade as Yakumo, herself. Mona reactivated herself and beeped, "Error. Jenny-Tron disobeyed orders. Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Trespasser must be apprehended!"
She walked off, looking for Luka, only for Luka to be long gone.
Inside the lab, Luka looked around the warehouse and found a Yakumo Cat with orange cat ears, a striped tail, whiskers, and a silver jingle bell on her collar. She was wearing a pink and orange outfit. Luka said, "Good. No one's around. And all the techies are taking the rest of the night off."
She stroked her black hair and said, "Alright, Blondie. Let's see you feign your way out of this one."
She activated the cat robot, as Yakumo meowed, "Hello, Master. I am Yakumo."
Luka said, "Good. Since the officer robot is being deactivated, you're coming with me. Here."
She covered her entire body in a huge black bag and said, "She doesn't mind. Hikari, this is for your own good. You want me gone? Fine. But I'm taking a prize with me."
She walked off, as Yakumo was meowing lightly and quietly, as she asked, "Where are we going, Master?"
Luka was about to reply, as Mikoto called out, "Found you! Intruder must be apprehended!"
She walked robotically to Luka, but Luka threw a smoke bomb in front of Mikoto. She dashed off, as Mikoto was unaffected by the smoke, but she didn't see Luka run away. She beeped, as she was processing, "Officer Luka… Luka… Luka… She is harboring WPCA Property. Calling all units. Officer Luka is a traitor. Make sure she is captured, once she returns to the café. Repeat, all units capture Officer Luka. She is a traitor. Make sure she is captured, once she returns to the café. That is all."
Luka's next plan to get rid of Eri was about to begin. However, Mikoto recognized her and was about to pinch her, whether or not the plan will succeed.

Moments later, in a small room, Luka connected a small program that replicates Yakumo's personality. She then smiled, "It's a good thing I scanned her wavelengths and patterns. I know she doesn't have to be a cat, for this one, but I have to ruin her… once and for all. She's supposed to be in jail, for harboring Tenma Prime, and now Hikari is dating her… I blame her. This must be done, and done right now."
She continued to download all the data, as she said, "Good enough. I need to rechar-. Shutting down."
She bowed forward, with her eyes closed and her mouth open a little bit. Yakumo was still in place, being downloaded personality data from Luka. Yakumo Cat beeped, as she said, "Nya. Nya. I am… Nya."
She powered off, and continued to process, while on Sleep Mode.
