pbPart Four- Big trouble in Little Bubble...Not really i just like the game Jumping Flash 2
p/b
pBreeder Girl walked out of her lab and removed her rubber gloves. I don't know why she wore them, she was just dumping water on my sister to wash off the Ketchup. Stryker had gone by now, but Blackskunk and Dr. Oak had taken his place. Skunk and Oak were in an animated discussion about explosions. I decided to not partake.
pShe shot me a glance and turned to the doctor. "Oak, do you faint at the sight of blood?"
pA very stupid question to ask the man who had pokemon exploding all over his lab. Oak shook his head. "No."
pBG motioned for him to follow her back into the lab. "C'mon i gotta show you this."
pThey left. the door shut again. Skunk, with no one else to talk to, started to talk to me. "What do you think that was about?"
pI thought a minute. Just to say i had been thinking about it. "I think she is really bleeding and not all of that red stuff was ketchup."
pSkunk digested this. "Maybe i shot her?"
pI closed my eyes. Please oh please oh please don't put me in Deamon's shoes, i thought. "Skunk, you never fired a shot."
p"But i never miss! So if i had, she would be bleeding. And she is bleeding."
pI covered my head with my hands. "Blackskunk, PLEASE stop..."
pSkunk wasn't stopping. "Soshika is a hacker, or at least a minor one. Maybe she accidentally uploaded a virus into herself."
pI peeked an eye between my fingers. "That's crazy."
p"Bear with me now." he seemed deep in thought. The man with the custom M4 was deep in thought. I was scared. "You and your sister are more Pokemon then person, right?"
pI nodded. "Yes."
p"Well, pokemon are affected by electronics. We catch them as energy, store them via PC and teach them moves with Technical and Hidden machines. Pokemon are even found inside computer systems, right?"
pI thought about that Porygon thing someone had found lurking in the Team Rocket computer system. So far as i knew we were now offering it as a prize at our casino. "You're right so far."
pSkunk folded his hands together and looked towards the door to the lab. "So, pokemon may be succeptable to computer viruses."
pI furrowed my eyebrows and frowned. "Okay, i see where you're going. But how would a virus get IN a pokemon?"
pSkunk shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe Soshika was carrying an infected disk, or picked up a corrupted pokeball or stuck her finger in a disk drive or something. I'm just saying, she sounds right now like a computer that was attacked by a virus."
psighing, i wondered about that. "that is the most ludicrous, rediculous, stupid idea anyone has come up with. But so far, it's the best explanation anyone's offered. How do you know so much about viruses anyway?"
pThe M4 was suddenly in my face. I stared straight down the muzzle, where it was very dark and smelled very very bad for me to be that close to. "If i told you, i'd have to kill you," Skunk said calmly.
pRaising my hands above my head, i indicated surrender. For a minute, Skunk seemed to think his options over. That in itself is very scary, because considering he was NOT fighting in any war and i was NOT his enemy, he was deciding whether or not i was really a danger. Danger enough to be eliminated, i thought.
pThe door to the lab suddenly opened, and the M4 swung around to face the new threat. Skunk, obviously knowing Oak a little better then me, imidiately lowered the weapon. "What's the findings?"
pOak laughed evilly. "You better come see this! Chansey!" Oak called aloud. Suddenly, a Chansey raced into the room and saluted.
p"Chan-See!"
p"Go develop a new TM on this!" he handed the Chansey a slip of paper and motioned for us to follow. "Come on!"
pWe entered the lab. I'd half expected to see my sister tied down to the cot, or at the very least in a straight jacket. Instead, she was sitting on the table perfectly fine in a white examination outfit, looking around her and seeming quite groggy. Aparently the tranq hadn't been enough to knock her out. She seemed pretty out of it. There were also bandages on her arms, legs, tail face and feet. Just small band-aids but the wounds were undoubtably actually bleeding. And more seemed to be popping up as time progressed.
pBreeder Girl had a blood pressure thingie strapped around Soshika's arm and was monitering (obviously) her blood pressure, at the same time listening to her heart rate through a stethiscope and periodicly switching hands to make notes on a clip pad.
pOak didn't even wait for us to ask, he just launched into a monolog. "We've found out something really interesting here. While Soshi's healthy by physical standards, tests show her mentality has dropped back to almost total pokemon state. She was bleeding from several small cuts, but by now they've stopped. We're not quite sure where she got those, just that maybe they were inflicted from INSIDE."
p"And all this means..." i waved my hand in a circle to indicate i didn't get it.
pOak elaborated. "She's falling apart on the insides, basicly. It's really cool, i want to call it the Smoosh TM. An excelent way to get rid of a pokemon you no longer want."
pI decided NOT to think about Chanseys falling apart all over the place. "Yeah, but why is she thinking like a total pokemon? and not even one as smart as Raizap or Myuu at that."
pBreeder Girl looked up. "So far as we can guess, Soshika's mind is going back to what it knows. the very basics of her mind."
pSkunk rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I get it. Like a computer on Safe Mode after a virus hit it."
pOak pointed and grinned. "YES! Exactly!! MUAHAHHA!"
pI frowned. "So, why is she so violent?"
pAnother evil grin from the evil Oak. "I'll show you. CHANSEY!!"
pThis time a different Chansey showed up. Oak was careful to hide it from Soshika's feild of view. i didn't know why yet. "Chansey, get me a Marowak from the lab. Yeah, the one we were testing for a Self Destruct HM. Bring it up here."
pThe Chansey ran off with a lot of agility for a pink egg with funny hair. a moment later it arrived holding a highly irate Marowak over its head, just out of clubbing range. Skunk and me must have looked rather confused.
p"Chansey, drop the Marowak. And go bench press a Rhydon! Don't think i didn't see you huffing from stress. Yeah, yeah. I think maybe add another Rhydon every three hours. And OUTSIDE their pokeballs, or else i'll send a few buddies of yours into Self Destruct hell...."
pThe Chansey took off like its butt was on fire.
pBreeder Girl suddenly jumped out of Soshika's way, taking her equipment with her. Oak mimiced. Skunk and I dove for cover behind respective close objects and peeked over to watch. Whatever this was, it was going to be bloody.
pSoshika spotted the Marowak just as it spotted her. The two beings glared for a minute, the Soshika launched herself off the cot and straight for the Marowak.
p"MAMMAL BOOOOOOOONE!! MIIIIIIIIIINE!! WAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!" my twin collided with the Marowak rather violently and crashed its head into the wall. The Marowak was saved by its boney skull, and came back with a Bone Club attack that my sib shrugged off like it was nothing. She quickly gripped the mammal bone in both hands and procceeded to enact the Hitomyuu/Raizap fiasco all over again until Breeder Girl tranqed them both. This time with a heavier dose. My sister fell asleep right off the bat.
pI stood up and looked at the shattered beakers and broken lab equipment that was now scattered everywhere. Skunk did the same. "So, what does this mean?" he asked. "She attacks the pokemon for stupid stuff, but not us."
pOak grinned, and Breeder Girl answered. Cheerfully of course. "She's reverting back to a pokemon state. That means she's willing to battle any other pokemon for any other reason. Of course, she's still trying to make excuses subconciously...that's why she attacks with the purpose of taking something the other pokemon has."
pI didn't much get it at all, but i said; "Oh."
pMaybe Skunk understood, because he said; "How do we stop this? She can't just run around beating up every pokemon in Team Rocket."
pOak laughed evilly. "Unnessicary sedation!"
pI scowled, cause that idea didn't much appeal to me. No real reason, maybe just that it was BARBARIC! "I'll find a way to stop it."
pBreeder Girl and Oak AND Skunk looked at me. "You? How do you plan to do that?"
pI gritted my teeth together. "Same way you rebuild a computer that's crashed. I'll find peices of her memory and bring them back here. You know, stuff like...uh...." i really had to think about this. What could i find? Maybe...just maybe...there was one thing..but i wasn't so sure.
pSkunk laughed. "Oh great, a quest."
pI turned my back on them and walked out of the lab. Surprisingly, BG and Skunk followed. Oak remained behind, probobly thinking up weird TMs. "The situation needs to be delt with," i stated. "And we can't just keep her tranqed all the time. it isn't right. The only other option is trying to get her back to normal. and this is the only way i see to do it."
pSkunk seemed to think that over about a minute. "Come with me. I'll set you up with all the supplies you'll need to survive on a quest."
pI honestly didn't think it would be that hard, but he was the military guy. He was the expert at roughing it sooooo......

pbPart Five- Cannibulba, Nidorabid, Pikafreaka./b
p
pI really wished they hadn't done this to me. That is, made me take my sister's Guild pokemon. I trudged down the road adn REALLY REGRETTED not having MY team with me. My team over whom i had total control, my team to whom i could converse about battle stratagies...but no. Instead i had my sister's Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Nidoran Male and Abra. It wasn't even a GOOD Abra! All it knew was confusion and teleport, and it's colour was the plain old dusty brown ALL Abras have.
pI walked down the road with a little bit of exertion. It was midday, and i was starting right outside of Saffron, which i doubly did not like because for some reason all the IDIOTS live in Saffron...maybe that's why Team Rocket lives in the town nearby. THAT town they're all obsessed with gambling...THIS town they all just walk around in a daze. Exept for the Silphs. They're ALWAYS working...I decided the best course of action would be to go South, that way i could go sneak around Vermilion for any tidbit to my sister's life. I wasn't quite sure why, i just felt drawn to that place.
pIt was right outside the town where some stupid kids were making out. Now, if it's one thing i can't stand it's people who have no regard for others. I mean, they could at LEAST have gone into the tall grass or somethin. Cheeze and rice. I picked up a good sized rock and threw it at them. It smashed against them, right between both their cheeks and they turned away from eachother, alarmed. by this time i had another rock in my hand and was bouncing it in my paw.
p"What the-?" The boy looked pretty confused. "What are you?"
pI snorted and tossed the rock at him. it hit him on the upper torse, so it didn't do any real damage. "What, you plan on gawking at Pokepeople all day or making out the majority of the time. I see you got pokemon." I pointed to the pokemon trainer belt around his waist. "In the name of Team Rocket, let's fight. If i win you stop making out on this road. I mean, get a room, alright?"
pThe girl flushed, most likely embarassed. Well, she ought to be, little slut. She had to be only thirteen. Her boyfriend got defensive and snatched up a pokemon. "Okay, i meet your challange! No one talks to me and my girl like that and gets away with it!"
pI laughed. "Yeah, right."
pHe threw the pokeball. "Go! Mankey!"
pI threw the third pokeball on my belt. "Go, Hypno! Oh, damnit! I mean..."
pToo late. The worthless little yellow critter emerged and looked rather upset that i'd gotten its name wrong. "Pika pi-ko!" it snapped.
pHow could my sister stand this thing, i wondered. It was so...so...so...CUTESY!! "ugh.."
pThe boy laughed. "That's all you got? Mankey! Fury swipes!"
pI gritted my teeth. "Pikachu, umm..." I didn't really know any of Pikachu's attacks. "Uuuuh use your best attack!" I was a Psy trainer, how was i supposed to know electric attacks? Yeesh...
pThe Mankey got about within two feet of the pikachu before it started to do something i'd never EVER seen a pokemon do before...
pIt walked back to its pokeball, reached inside and pulled out something skimpy and black. I was scared by now. The pikachu put the thing on...it looked like woman's underwere or something. Quickly, it pulled a makeup compact out of the pokeball and painted its face white with bright red lipstick and exagerated eyeliner. My face paled. "Soshi...you didn't..."
pThe pikachu started to dance and sing. Well, more SEDUCE and sing...the sound going through my mind as a translation was hard to miss. "I'm just a SWEET transvestite...from transexual! Transylvania!"
pI was looking at the Frank N. Furter of Pikachus. Soshi had aparently made the thing watch her Rocky Horror Picture Show video tape as many times as it could bear. This was just a little to weird for me.
pThe mankey, no less imune to the Frank N. Furter pikachu's charm then Brad or Janet were to Tim Curry's in the movie, started to swoon. Then, neat as you please, it fainted dead away from the pikachu's overbearing sexuality. I called the yellow rodent back to its pokeball and shuddered.
p"Ugh...Soshika, you are friggin weird."
pThe boy, on the other hand, was only shook up about loosing. "Shoot! Okay, go Spearow!" he grinned evilly at me. "Level thirty."
pI laughed aloud. "Ooooh i'm shakin in my boots. Try this on for size." I threw a random pokeball into the dust. Out jumped another small cutesy rodent, but this one was pink, spikey and foaming at the mouth.
p"NIIIIIIIIIDORAN!" it roared, but the translation in my mind was just garbled gibberish. It must be rabid, i thought.
p"Spearow, Peck!" Commanded the idiot trainer. The Spearow flew at Nidorabid with an annyoing SCRAAAAAAW sound.
pI knew a little bit about Nidorans. They couldn't learn psy attacks, but they were weak to them. I studied up on my enemies, to say the very least. "Okay, Nido. Horn attack!"
pNidoran ignored me and lunged, snarling at the Spearow. For a few minutes all anyone could see was flying saliva and feathers, but when Nidoran calmed down a bit, all that was left of the Spearow was a bloody mass of bones and guts. I recalled Nidoran before he could go off and attack the boy trainer. This was getting bizzare, the whole battle thing.
pThe boy, surprised at loosing, fell back to be silent. His girlfriend/whore was in no way ready to let her toyfriend be beaten like that. Maybe she was obsessed with making out in public places, i didn't know. In any case, she challenged me.
p"You can't beat up Steve like that! I say let's fight!" She threw a pokeball. "Victreebell, go!"
pI threw the first pokeball i had my hand on. All Soshika's pokemon would be okay for this battle, with one exception...
p"BUUUUUUUUULBAAAA!" roared the Bulbasaur. Just my luck. That happened to be the exception. Oh well, maybe it was weird like all the others Soshika had. I took a minute to Psy-walk through its mind and see what attacks it had.
pI don't know how she did it, but the Bulbasaur knew Bite. That would probobly work well, i figured. "Bulba, Bite attack!"
p"Victreebell! Stun Spore!"
pBulbasaur got slightly stunned, but not much. It leapt at the Victreebell and started biting it. But not JUST biting it...SWALLOWING what it bit. The Victreebell got recalled before Bulba could finish his meal, but the weird little plant dino looked at me, licked its lips and smiled. "Bul-ba."
pI paled. This about did it. My sister was a vegitarian, i knew that...but she'd trained a BULBASAUR in that image...A Cannibalistic Bulbasaur. I shivered. Will the maddness never end, i wondered.
pThe girl, horrified by the weirdness she'd seen here today, turned and ran screaming. Her toyfriend followed her. I put my hands on my hips and sniffed. What a bunch of morans.
PThe Bulbasaur was looking around for something else to eat. When i spotted it trying to pounce on an Oddish, i decided to call it back. It returned with a lot of reluctance.
pOkay, that about did it for psycotics for today. I turned and began to walk back into Vermillion.

pBreeder Girl walked out of her lab and removed her rubber gloves. I don't know why she wore them, she was just dumping water on my sister to wash off the Ketchup. Stryker had gone by now, but Blackskunk and Dr. Oak had taken his place. Skunk and Oak were in an animated discussion about explosions. I decided to not partake.
pShe shot me a glance and turned to the doctor. "Oak, do you faint at the sight of blood?"

pI nodded. "Yes."
p"Well, pokemon are affected by electronics. We catch them as energy, store them via PC and teach them moves with Technical and Hidden machines. Pokemon are even found inside computer systems, right?"
pI thought about that Porygon thing someone had found lurking in the Team Rocket computer system. So far as i knew we were now offering it as a prize at our casino. "You're right so far."
pSkunk folded his hands together and looked towards the door to the lab. "So, pokemon may be succeptable to computer viruses."
pI furrowed my eyebrows and frowned. "Okay, i see where you're going. But how would a virus get IN a pokemon?"

Danger enough to be eliminated, i thought.
pThe door to the lab suddenly opened, and the M4 swung around to face the new threat. Skunk, obviously knowing Oak a little better then me, imidiately lowered the weapon. "What's the findings?"
pOak laughed evilly. "You better come see this! Chansey!" Oak called aloud. Suddenly, a Chansey raced into the room and saluted.
p"Chan-See!"
p"Go develop a new TM on this!" he handed the Chansey a slip of paper and motioned for us to follow. "Come on!"
pWe entered the lab. I'd half expected to see my sister tied down to the cot, or at the very least in a straight jacket. Instead, she was sitting on the table perfectly fine in a white examination outfit, looking around her and seeming quite groggy. Aparently the tranq hadn't been enough to knock her out. She seemed pretty out of it. There were also bandages on her arms, legs, tail face and feet. Just small band-aids but the wounds were undoubtably actually bleeding. And more seemed to be popping up as time progressed.
pBreeder Girl had a blood pressure thingie strapped around Soshika's arm and was monitering (obviously) her blood pressure, at the same time listening to her heart rate through a stethiscope and periodicly switching hands to make notes on a clip pad.
pOak didn't even wait for us to ask, he just launched into a monolog. "We've found out something really interesting here. While Soshi's healthy by physical standards, tests show her mentality has dropped back to almost total pokemon state. She was bleeding from several small cuts, but by now they've stopped. We're not quite sure where she got those, just that maybe they were inflicted from INSIDE."
p"And all this means..." i waved my hand in a circle to indicate i didn't get it.
pOak elaborated. "She's falling apart on the insides, basicly. It's really cool, i want to call it the Smoosh TM. An excelent way to get rid of a pokemon you no longer want."

p"Chansey, drop the Marowak. And go bench press a Rhydon! Don't think i didn't see you huffing from stress. Yeah, yeah. I think maybe add another Rhydon every three hours. And OUTSIDE their pokeballs, or else i'll send a few buddies of yours into Self Destruct hell...."
pThe Chansey took off like its butt was on fire.
pBreeder Girl suddenly jumped out of Soshika's way, taking her equipment with her. Oak mimiced. Skunk and I dove for cover behind respective close objects and peeked over to watch. Whatever this was, it was going to be bloody.
pSoshika spotted the Marowak just as it spotted her. The two beings glared for a minute, the Soshika launched herself off the cot and straight for the Marowak.
p"MAMMAL BOOOOOOOONE!! MIIIIIIIIIINE!! WAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!" my twin collided with the Marowak rather violently and crashed its head into the wall. The Marowak was saved by its boney skull, and came back with a Bone Club attack that my sib shrugged off like it was nothing. She quickly gripped the mammal bone in both hands and procceeded to enact the Hitomyuu/Raizap fiasco all over again until Breeder Girl tranqed them both. This time with a heavier dose. My sister fell asleep right off the bat.
pI stood up and looked at the shattered beakers and broken lab equipment that was now scattered everywhere. Skunk did the same. "So, what does this mean?" he asked. "She attacks the pokemon for stupid stuff, but not us."
pOak grinned, and Breeder Girl answered. Cheerfully of course. "She's reverting back to a pokemon state. That means she's willing to battle any other pokemon for any other reason. Of course, she's still trying to make excuses subconciously...that's why she attacks with the purpose of taking something the other pokemon has."

pThe Mankey got about within two feet of the pikachu before it started to do something i'd never EVER seen a pokemon do before...
pIt walked back to its pokeball, reached inside and pulled out something skimpy and black. I was scared by now. The pikachu put the thing on...it looked like woman's underwere or something. Quickly, it pulled a makeup compact out of the pokeball and painted its face white with bright red lipstick and exagerated eyeliner. My face paled. "Soshi...you didn't..."
pThe pikachu started to dance and sing. Well, more SEDUCE and sing...the sound going through my mind as a translation was hard to miss. "I'm just a SWEET transvestite...from transexual! Transylvania!"
pI was looking at the Frank N. Furter of Pikachus. Soshi had aparently made the thing watch her Rocky Horror Picture Show video tape as many times as it could bear. This was just a little to weird for me.
pThe mankey, no less imune to the Frank N. Furter pikachu's charm then Brad or Janet were to Tim Curry's in the movie, started to swoon. Then, neat as you please, it fainted dead away from the pikachu's overbearing sexuality. I called the yellow rodent back to its pokeball and shuddered.
p"Ugh...Soshika, you are friggin weird."
pThe boy, on the other hand, was only shook up about loosing. "Shoot! Okay, go Spearow!" he grinned evilly at me. "Level thirty."
pI laughed aloud. "Ooooh i'm shakin in my boots. Try this on for size." I threw a random pokeball into the dust. Out jumped another small cutesy rodent, but this one was pink, spikey and foaming at the mouth.
p"NIIIIIIIIIDORAN!" it roared, but the translation in my mind was just garbled gibberish. It must be rabid, i thought.
p"Spearow, Peck!" Commanded the idiot trainer. The Spearow flew at Nidorabid with an annyoing SCRAAAAAAW sound.
pI knew a little bit about Nidorans. They couldn't learn psy attacks, but they were weak to them. I studied up on my enemies, to say the very least. "Okay, Nido. Horn attack!"
pNidoran ignored me and lunged, snarling at the Spearow. For a few minutes all anyone could see was flying saliva and feathers, but when Nidoran calmed down a bit, all that was left of the Spearow was a bloody mass of bones and guts. I recalled Nidoran before he could go off and attack the boy trainer. This was getting bizzare, the whole battle thing.
pThe boy, surprised at loosing, fell back to be silent. His girlfriend/whore was in no way ready to let her toyfriend be beaten like that. Maybe she was obsessed with making out in public places, i didn't know. In any case, she challenged me.
p"You can't beat up Steve like that! I say let's fight!" She threw a pokeball. "Victreebell, go!"
pI threw the first pokeball i had my hand on. All Soshika's pokemon would be okay for this battle, with one exception...
p"BUUUUUUUUULBAAAA!" roared the Bulbasaur. Just my luck. That happened to be the exception. Oh well, maybe it was weird like all the others Soshika had. I took a minute to Psy-walk through its mind and see what attacks it had.
pI don't know how she did it, but the Bulbasaur knew Bite. That would probobly work well, i figured. "Bulba, Bite attack!"
p"Victreebell! Stun Spore!"
pBulbasaur got slightly stunned, but not much. It leapt at the Victreebell and started biting it. But not JUST biting it...SWALLOWING what it bit. The Victreebell got recalled before Bulba could finish his meal, but the weird little plant dino looked at me, licked its lips and smiled. "Bul-ba."
pI paled. This about did it. My sister was a vegitarian, i knew that...but she'd trained a BULBASAUR in that image...A Cannibalistic Bulbasaur. I shivered. Will the maddness never end, i wondered.
pThe girl, horrified by the weirdness she'd seen here today, turned and ran screaming. Her toyfriend followed her. I put my hands on my hips and sniffed. What a bunch of morans.
PThe Bulbasaur was looking around for something else to eat. When i spotted it trying to pounce on an Oddish, i decided to call it back. It returned with a lot of reluctance.
pOkay, that about did it for psycotics for today. I turned and began to walk back into Vermillion.
