Sorry for not updating on time this week! With everything going on right now, I just didn't have time to write this really long chapter in time for the usual Sunday update. Sorry!

Thanks to Blue Kitten for reviewing! Sorry, the battle's not quite here yet, but it will be soon. Yeah, I thought you came up with the idea of robots, sorry! A clone is just a genetic copy of a living thing, and a robot generally refers to something with mechanical parts that operates on electricity.

Thanks for reading!

Ruby sat down next to me. "The doctor lied, didn't he?"

He saw my puzzled glance and tried to ask his question again. "The doctor said you had severe brain damage, but you've recovered really quickly. Is that a perk of being in your organization, or was the doctor wrong?"

"Oh, that," I said, taking particular interest in my shoes. "No, he was right. The organization made a perfect copy of each person, including every memory. They thought those memories would distract us from our missions and training, so they wiped us all clean. The "brain damage" the doctor saw was just all the blocked memories of the original girl, not mine. I can only assume that I had brain damage, just not as severe as the doctor thought."

"Oh," Ruby said. "I see. Then why-"

He was cut off by Red, who ran towards me, ecstatically waving the papers in the air. "I'm done," he said, grinning.

I read over each of the notes and smiled, nodding at him. "Thank you, Red. Hey, Green, Yellow, could you come over here for a minute?"

They exchanged looks and came over to me from the fire. "Are your Pokemon ready to go?" I asked.

"Yeah, I made sure that they were healed," Yellow said, stifling a yawn.

"Thanks, but we need you ready for battle later, so try not to heal any more Pokemon, okay?"

"'Kay," she said, giving me a sleepy smile.

I attached the notes to the two Pokemon, then turned to the Pokedex holders. "Anyone know where Gold and Silver are now?"

I was met with stunned silence. "Wait," Ruby said. "You don't actually know where they are?"

"I know they were in Goldenrod City five days ago, but they could have gone anywhere in that time. I was hoping that someone else would have some more recent information."

"No, they just left without telling anyone," Emerald said. "Crystal was really worried, but I told her that they'd be fine."

"Okay…" I said, resting my chin on my hands. "They were walking, so they weren't in that much of a hurry. Gold made a phone call; it didn't go through. They must have been looking for someone who was close by, but didn't have Pokegear reception. The only place close to Goldenrod without reception is Azalea Forest, so they're probably around that area still."

Ignoring the open mouths around me, I turned to the two Pokemon. "Head to Azalea Forest. If you can't find them, search the area around there."

With perfect timing, Crystal and Sapphire ran back into the clearing, gasping for breath. A flick of my wrist sent Ninetales out, who quickly blasted the Pokemon behind them with Flamethrower as the other Pokedex holders started to ask what was wrong. I got a lot of stares again.

"What?" I asked. "Why else would a wounded girl be running?"

Crystal nodded her thanks, and handed me a bag full of Pokeballs. "Thank you," I said, and gave both Pidgeot and Kitty a Pokeball containing a Ditto. I looked both in the eye, "Be careful, and try to be back before tomorrow afternoon, okay?"

The Pokemon nodded and flew away into the night. As I had hoped, their flight startled other Pokemon, who also launched themselves into the air.

"All right, now that that's all done, what's the plan?" Red asked, clapping his hands together.

"Wait, Blue, Gold and Silver aren't here yet. Tonight, after Blue gets back, we're going to rest and wait for Gold and Silver to show up. Then I'll tell everyone the plan."

"Can you at least tell us part of it?" he pleaded.

"Yeah. We're going to beat the organization up and send them to jail." I refused to say any more, and ordered them to bed. I went over the plan again and again in my head, fixing little details and problems that showed up along the way. I closed my eyes, imagining that the plane was a giant 3-D chessboard, and watched the Dexholders and myself move simultaneously. Occasionally, I paused and reviewed a battle that would happen between a Dexholder and an Anti. I was fairly confident that this would work, if only I could pull off my part. I paused time again in my little mental model, focusing on myself in the top level on the plane, alone, except for one person.

The bushes rustled and I lost my concentration as Blue popped into the little campground, grinning. "I'm back! Oh, did I scare you?"

"Just a little," I admitted, scolding myself for not paying attention to my surroundings, as my training had taught me to. "What's your report?"

She sat down next to me, her Ditty transforming into a chair. "Well, it's better than it seems. They've surrounded us on the ground, but haven't done anything to watch the sky. I think there's about thirty of them."

"All with the same face, right?"

"Yeah, there aren't any others. Anyway, Gold and Silver should be able to get in pretty easily as long as they use their disguises. We'll have to escape here by flying, so they don't notice us."

I thought for a minute. "Okay, that seems good. Did you hear anything about plans to search for us?"

"There were a few mentions of a plan, but I think they're mostly trying to keep us here while reinforcements arrive. There's going to be a few groups of them moving into the forest, but they're not going far."

I nodded. "They're using the quarantine strategy."

Blue shot me a confused glance, and I clarified for her. "Our director of intelligence put a bunch of strategies together for the grunts if something like this happened. The grunts were never meant to battle the Dexholders directly because they only trained to become decent battlers and instill terror. So anyway, this is the quarantine strategy. surrounding the Dexholders. Luckily for us, the director refused to make any of the changes I suggested, including putting up a blockade of air, land, and sea." I grinned at her happily. "Get some sleep, we'll leave as soon as possible tomorrow."

"Wait, there's one more thing," she said standing up.

"Yeah?"
"There's a plane headed our way right now."

"When will it arrive?"

"They're expecting it two days from now, in the afternoon."

"Good, we'll attack before then, Let's get some sleep now, we'll need it."

"Don't you want to set up a watch, so we'll know if they're coming?"

"No," I said, smiling at her. "If your information is correct, and I believe it is, then they won't come for us until the plane arrives."

"What if they're trying to throw us off by using that plan and changing it?"

"They won't. They think I have complete amnesia, so they see no reason to change a plan that they already think is good." I told her, shrugging. "Besides, even if they thought I'd recover, they'd think I would work for them, instead of against them. No one else knows what happened the day I disappeared besides me and my master, and they don't suspect my different loyalties."

"Well if that's the case, you'd better get some sleep too."

"I will, I will. I just need to work out this one detail first."

She sat back down on her Ditty-chair. "Talk me through it."

So I went back to my 3-D mental chessboard, taking her through every minute detail. I was grateful I had someone to talk to, because within moments, everything was perfectly in place.

"Thanks, Blue."

She smiled. "You're welcome. Good night!"

Again, thanks for reading and I will definitely have the next chapter updated on time!
