Only Karnivax knows! > > As the mighty cyborg velociraptor Panopticon was covertly scouting the Cinnabar Island Laboratories for any psychics to capture, he received an incoming transmission: "Panopticon, come in." Panopticon quickly activated his comlink and spoke into the microphone: "I am here on Cinnabar, massster, ssstill under the cover of my persssonal cloaking device. What would you asssk of me?" "I have just discovered one who may be worthy of serving my cause," Panopticon's master replied. "Observe." Before Panopticon there appeared a phantasmal psychic projection, showing a vaguely foot-long brown cockroach that was festooned with Pokéballs. "His name is Phoo." "You are sssending me to capture a pathetic insssect?" Panopticon shrieked, upstarting. He slashed at the psychic projection in frustration. "Where isss Proteusss? Thisss isss a tasssk more sssuited to *hisss* talentsss." "Proteus is currently occupied," the master answered. "I gave him a choice of one of two missions. He is to bring me either the Ditto known as Doppler - whose skills in chicanery would prove useful - or the genetic disaster that is Mewtwo - the only being who still remains a significant threat to me." "Permissssion to ssspeak freely?" Panopticon asked. "Granted," the unseen warlord sighed. "Proteusss hasss no hope of sssucceeding in either ssscenario." "Do you really believe that, Panopticon?" the master queried. "Or is your judgement merely clouded by your own jealousy of Proteus?" Panopticon scowled. He had been found out. "It isss...the latter, massster," he admitted; not that he had to, considering his master was a telepath. "As I knew," the master remarked. "On a side note, I suggest for your own good that you cease your constant undermining of Proteus. As arrogant as he is, he has powers that easily put your own to shame." Panopticon clenched his fists, enraged by the truth of his commander's words. The mysterious warlord continued, "Now stand by. You will be teleported to Viridian City shortly. As best I can tell, you will find Phoo at the city limits, near the Viridian Forest. Do not take this assignment lightly, Panopticon. Phoo's stature may be laughable, but his powers are immense." "I underssstand," Panopticon responded, still scowling. Powers or no powers, Phoo still sounded like a push-over to Panopticon. Seconds later, a purple nimbus of light enveloped the cyber-saur, and he disappeared. There, nice and short. --K * A * R * N * I * V * A * X-- "Awesome! I'm poisonous!
