Ch. 3: The Opponent Whose Fun Knows No Bounds

Hmmm... I believe the police station was this way? I don't remember, this town's kinda new to me! Michael was thoroughly confused. He'd never been to this town, and a quick glance at the news proved Nascour had not been bluffing. Somehow, in some way, there was someone masquerading as him, and using his team to attack trainers! He knew that without Pokemon, his only chance of figuring out what was going on was to turn himself in... but if he was seen while heading towards the police station, he'd be hauled back there, and lose his only chance at protesting his innocence. As such, he became nervous every time someone pulled out a phone near him.

It was a crowded street as he walked in the front door of the police station, walking past a row of bonsai trees. Things happened lightning fast after that.

"Chief! HE'S HERE!" Sherles, the Chief's right hand man shouted.

"I see that. Well, lawbreaker, I'll take you on in a battle! You lose, you'll come quietly. If you win, I'll let you go... THIS TIME. Go, Arcanine! Let's see what you got!"

Really? He HAD to force me into this situation. I've got no choice. He was about to commit the rudest act a Pokemon Trainer could; refusing to battle. "I've got no Pokemon on me. This person you're looking for... It isn't me. I woke up in a dark alley after following someone away from the competition... with the attacks having happened while I was unconscious. Someone has stolen my Pokemon, and my items. I've got nothing, guys!" Michael started crying, the loss still raw.

"Oh? Maybe you won't mind spending some time in a cell, then? If the attacks continue, we'll release you. No one knows you're here besides us..." the Chief responded.

Meanwhile, outside the window, if one had looked at the row of bonsai trees, they would have heard slight giggling, as a voice quietly said: "And me. Hehehehehehhehehehee..."

"I hope you enjoy prison. I don't know why you'd turn yourself in, but you're going to be here for a loooooong time. Enjoy it, prisoner." Sherles said, slamming the cell door shut. Clearly, someone was biased.

Damn it! What... they didn't even listen! I'm... ARRRRGH! Michael kicked the wall, angry.

The "bonsai tree" laughed. "This is working great. He'll be in prison until I'm ready to implement the next part. Should be about 24 hours. Now then..." The branches became spikes, as Nue reappeared. "Mamizou should be finished breaking Nascour out soon. Now, once she's done, I'll prepare phase 3."

Orre Federal Prison:

"GET UP!" A guard was banging on the bars.

Huh? What... What do they want at this time of night? Nascour thought."NOW, criminal scum!" Without waiting, the guard slid the door open and grabbed Nascour. "You're coming with me to see my boss."

What do they want? At this time of night? Nascour thought as he was cuffed and led out.

They took two rights, a left, another couple of rights, and -

Nascour's alertness snapped back as he realized they weren't going towards any interrogation room or police chief. A breakout? Why would I be sprung from jail? This guard's certainly being hostile for a breakout operation...

As the guard walked outside with him, the cuffs were still on him. That's when he noticed that something wasn't quite right. The yard was lit up with a purple glow from one end, coming from- Is that a rip in space-time!? What's happening to me? This isn't Cipher's work!

Nascour at this point tried to punch the guard out, and run. Unfortunately, he didn't count on getting hit by a projectile midway through. "AAAAAGH! HELLLLLP! Escapee! Someone help!" He yelled. He knew that prison was probably better than where that hole led.

The "guard" had a card in his hand, as he grew... a fluffy tail. And began to transform from a guard into-

"Oh my Arceus. What the HELL ARE YOU?! You look like a Pokemon-human hybrid!" Nascour shouted.

"We're on a schedule here, Nascour. You're coming with me to the gap. Whether you do it in relatively stable condition or bruised and battered is your option." Mamizou said calmly to him. "You can have time to reevaluate reality later." She thought to herself: Man, this was a cakewalk. No one even looked at us twice.

"Hmmm... Alright, I'm coming. Let's go." Nascour replied. The two of them walked together to the gap, taking a trip to Gensokyo together...

Intros:

Pokemon:

Sherles: Sherles is the Chief's right hand man. He's very clumsy, tends to run into people a lot, and even mistook the main character of Colosseum FOR the Chief. He has a heart of gold, though.

Chief: No official name is given for him. This guy and Sherles seem to comprise the entire Orre police force. Great police force for an ENTIRE REGION, right, guys? Anyway, his team in game is non-existent. I picked Arcanine for his Pokemon because that's what Officer Jenny uses in the anime for most of the seasons.

Gensokyo: Gensokyo is the world Touhou Project takes place in. This place seems to have creatures from all walks of fantasy. Aliens, demons, angels, samurai, ghosts, magicians, shrine maidens... But more on Gensokyo later.
