Travis asked hopefully. At Belle's withering glance, He stated, "We need to find Becky." "That black haired chick you are always hanging out with?" Belle asked furiously. "How can you even think about her when you are on a date with me?" "Doessss thisss Becky have the precioussssssss?" The mutant shorts kid asked eyes glowing. Travis felt icy mental fingers combing his mind and brought his latent defenses up to block them. "What isssssss thisssss?" The shorts kid asked outraged. "How can you blocksss our probe?" Travis cried out in pain hands grabbing his head as he felt Ess's mental probe stabbing at him in a redoubled effort to glean the information from his mind. Moving one hand from his head and shooting to his belt, he pulled a pokeball and released his slowpoke, "Rapid, help me!" He cried. "Disable the Psychic probe this thing is using!" Travis groaned in agony as Belle lent a steadying hand, her fury at the mention of Becky's name momentarily forgotten. After a long moment, Rapid's eyes glowed and Travis felt the probes assaulting his mind fade, but not complete recede. "I am trying, Travis, but the probe is being augmented! And it seems to have more than one source!" "Doess thissss Becky posssssesssssss the Preciousssssss?" The shorts kids demanded once more. "No!" Travis shouted, feeling as though his head was going to fly apart. The shorts kid grew quiet for a moment, then yelled in frustration, "How issssssss it we cannot Tell if you lie? Anssssssswer ussss! Tell ussss the truth! Where issss our preciousssss? Where issssss Dbu?" Travis sank to his knees in agony despite Belle's support. He pulled all his metal energies into himself, forming a tight psychic ball. Before he could do anything else, Pop-up the Abra let himself out of his pokeball. Rapid arrived to lay a late supporting hand on Travis's other arm as Pop Up climbed up his back to sit on his shoulder. The shorts kid started forward then blinked in surprise as Pop Up Teleported the group away. Becky blinked in surprise as Travis, Belle, Blazer, Rapid and Pop Up appeared in front of her and collapsed onto the sand. She had been on her way back to the pokecenter when noon had turned to sunset. She had Wanted to get as far away from it as soon as she realized the fact. "Wha..." She began to asked her traveling companion as Belle suddenly stood and glared at her. Knowing he had only seconds before the Mutant shorts kid discovered them, Travis stood and began barking orders. "Pop Up, go to Becky and Teleport her to the pokecenter! Double You double Becky. Rapid, when the double appears try and shield her mind! Several things happened in the next second. Pop Up scrambled over to the black belt as she began again, "What the..." Pop Up Teleported her way just as another Becky appeared on the sand completing "Hell is going on here?" Belle blinked in surprise and doubted having seen two Becky's however briefly. Rapid's eyes glowed as she tried to shield the new Black Belt's mind. The Mutant shorts kid exploded onto the sand "You can not esscape ussssssss! Give ussss our Preciousssss!" The shorts kid demanded. "It isn't here!" Travis called even as he felt new mental probes impact his inadequate psychic shield. "Becky traded him in Scarlet! Some kid who is taking it back to Kanto!" New Becky was confused, but she knew to back her traveling companion's play. "That is right, I traded the Unown in Scarlet, The kid said he was going to Pewter City to visit his family for Christmas!" "You are Becky? You sssssssay you traded Preciousssssss? I don't believe you!" The shorts kid hissed scrambling over to the girl, He began patting at her clothes looking for pokeballs. His eyes widened in surprise when Becky Karate Chopped him in the center of his head. His surprise grew as Becky back flipped away from him then reversed direction with a hand on the sand as she sent both heels into his face crying, "Who the hell do you think you are feeling up? I'll kick your ass!" The impact sent him flying, tumbling head over heels across the sand until he landed against Belle's legs. He wrapped his hands around her hips, his hands resting on her butt and gripping as he tried to steady himself. He cried out in pain as Belle chopped him in the exact same spot on the head as Becky had crying, "Who do you think you are getting fresh with?" . When he released his grip on her ass, Belle thrust kicked him away from her, then started after him. The shorts kid looked up to see the two Gi-clad girls coming after him, gave a succinct, "Eeep!" Then bounded across the sand to disappear into the ocean with a huge splash. Belle and Becky looked at each other and began to laugh. Giggling at first then giving in to great guffaws. Belle's hand came up to wipe at her eyes, thus missed it when Becky disappeared and the real Becky was Teleported in, laughing even as the memories from her double flooded her mind. The laughter ended when they heard Travis moan and turned to see him laying flat on his back in the sand. They both rushed to his side.
