Jon and Alyssa Drake
En Route to Central Park
Affected RPers: None

Jon had left Ethan who remained at the Battle Arena to train for his battle against Avery this evening, and was walking back towards Safe House C, a little outside of Central Park, when he heard Alyssa's voice.

"Wait, Carbon!" She shouted, before looking around and realizing they had teleported. Jon was shocked to see Jirachi floating next to her until it clicked she called it Carbon. Ditto had needed to copy Jirachi... Why.

"Liss, what happened?" Jon asked, as Alyssa looked around frantically.

"Jimmy lost control of Jirachi!" Alyssa said, looking around desperately at the people who were starting to stare, both at her being upset, and the Jirachi floating next to her.

"The idiot never had control of it to begin with..." Jon muttered.

"When you and Cassandra were gone, they were trying to come up with a plan to catch out the person who has been harassing her. Jimmy had this idea, of having his Rotom wait in her phone for the stalker to message her and to ping the stalkers GPS when he contacted her." Alyssa explained, "The problem was the next bit. For some reason, he was hell bent on having the Ladies turn back into Pokemon to spy on him, and some of us masquerade as them to lure the stalker out."

"What the fu-" Jon started, "If you pinged the GPS, you could use the room keys location tracking and the security system, we could narrow it down..."

"That's what I told him. First I told him that we shouldn't make plans involving the Ladies without Steven or Cynthia's okay, since the three of them are technically detained, and that if we think the stalker is an operative watching through the security system, they just heard his entire plan through the security camera in the safe house. Violet was against getting directly involved because she needed to start arrangements for paying off their debt to the league." Alyssa explained, "At this point the only person who was on board with the idea was Jarena because she wanted to be a Pokemon again, but Jimmy wished that we were all in a location where we wouldn't be overheard, with Steven, Cynthia and Avery, and that the footage that left the room since we all arrived was My Little Pony. We were all teleported to this room that I have no clue where it is on the ship, and Jimmy still kept pushing this stupid idea about the girls turning into Pokemon. Avery was there and he was trying to rope them into it."

"What did Steven and Cynthia think?" Jon asked, "Surely they didn't okay it..."

"They did..." Alyssa explained, "But here is the thing. Violet said she didn't want to be involved because she was needing some time to organize the money transfer, but without being asked, Jirachi made that happen. If Jirachi did that without telling anyone, because it meant Violet's reason for not being on board with it would go away..."


"You think it influenced Steven and Cynthia?" Jon asked, growing more angry by the second.

"I don't know that it didn't." Alyssa explained, "I raised that concern and basically told the Ladies it was their choice whether they go ahead with it or not, I had said my piece and if they went ahead with it, I would just go and help Steven weed out Lance's guys. Violet and Cassandra agreed and talked Jarena out of it, but Jimmy just kept pushing and wouldn't take no for an answer. Then Jirachi snapped."

"He teleported Jimmy out of the room, locked the doors, and made it abundantly clear that we were doing Jimmy's plan whether we liked it or not." Alyssa continued, "Avery tried to reason with it, so while it was distracted I had Carbon copy Jirachi, hoping I could get at least one wish out of him. I wished for Jirachi to fall asleep."

"It didn't work..." Jon said, realizing how bad things were.

"I think he could do a small wish, but putting a mythical Pokemon to sleep was too much for a copy." Alyssa said, "He teleported me out, to you, but everyone else is still locked in with that deranged little s**t!"

Jon quickly let Latios out of its Pokeball. He figured if Jirachi had snapped, this whole ship could be its playground. Which meant he and Alyssa might be in danger of being affected by the sociopathic Wishmaker. It also meant that a certain someone who couldn't be allowed to escape could quite easily if Jirachi's Pokemon Transforming Fetish extended past the mystery room the others are locked in.

"Climb onto Latios' back, and see if you can find any people who have been turned into Pokemon." Jon explained, "Latios should be able to see them freaking out from a distance and identify them. Try and round them up."

"Okay but where are you going?" Alyssa asked, as she climbed onto Latios back, calling Carbon back to his Pokeball.

"Lance is in custody, but if Jirachi turns people outside the room into Pokemon, he might be able to escape." Jon explained, before making eye contact with the Eon Pokemon.

"I lied. Fly Alyssa as far away from here as you can whilst still maintaining a telepathic link." Jon thought, knowing Latios was listening. "If Jirachi comes anywhere near Alyssa, kill it. It talks about being friends, but it is not our friend. Understand?"

"Wait, Jon, I know what you're doing, don't -" Alyssa began as Latios departed the ship, flying upwards and away.

Now Alyssa was out of danger, Jon began making his way to the infirmary, thinking about the choice words he was going to have with Jimmy, assuming they all hadn't been erased from existence before then...
