3: Theory of Relativity
"How...how did you do that?" The Mana Goddess stood astounded as the stranger walked away with the massive Metal Mantis/Mantis Ant guardian firmly esconscensed within a tiny red and white ball.

The stranger beamed with pride. "Oh, well Scizor is steel, and steel is metal, and metal conducts electricity, so I knew that Pikachu..."

A furious Mygdos grabbed the stranger. "METAL MANTIS. His name is Metal Mantis, and he's one of the hardest guardians. How would you take him down with one shot? I...I mean, he was mine."

The stranger gasped. "Oh, I'm sorry. I just saw him there and, well, Scizor's are rare but a blue Scizor is something I've never seen. But if blue Gyardoses have red forms then I guess it only makes sense fo Scizor to be blue. If he's yours, though, you can have him back. PokeMasters never steal."

"Pika pika," the stranger's rabbit companion responded, nodding. Pressing a button on the red and white ball, the stranger released the shocked Metal Mantis.

"Allow me to introduce myself," the Mana Goddess interjected herself between Mygdos and the stranger, "I am the Mana Goddess. You are...?"

"Me? Why, I'm Mygdos and I'm going to be the greatest PokeTrainer in the..."

"No way! I'm Mygdos!" Mygods bellowed at the stranger.

"Geez, first you want the Scizor and now you want my name?"

"No, no, wait." The Mana Goddess could feel a fight brewing. "Mygdos..." she glared at Mygdos and then pointed at the stranger. "THIS Mygdos; tell me, are you often responsible for giving orders?"

The stranger looked at his rat, rubbed its apparently furry head and laughed. "Well, I have to tell my PokeMon what to do but sometimes they won't listen."

"Pikapika" growled the mouse as its black-tipped ears twitched.

"Hm..." the Mana Goddess looked at the two Mygdoses.

"So, are you like my son or something?" Mygdos I asked the stranger.

Tears welled up in the strangers eyes. "...Dad? I've finally found you!" They embraced each other while the Mana Goddess and the mouse exchanged glances.

"Um, yeah, this is touching and all but I think what's going on here. Mygdos...uh...Jr.? You're obviously from another game. You see, this is a game but we're not being played anymore so our status can't change. But if you arrived then..." The Mygdoses walked away as the Goddess expositioned. Mygdos Jr.'s pet scampered after them.

"Bud? Bud? Come meet my son Mygdos!" Mygdos I entered his home only to find his elven comrade already hosting a similarly-spritely guest dressed totally in green.

"Mig, you won't believe it; this guy says his name is Mygdos too!"
