Thank Goddish for Team Rocket members and their perpetual state of incompetence!_ Proteus oozed out from under the front pew and slithered as fast as he could over to where Natasha lay stuck in the wedding cake. Neither Dreadite nor Tenchi took any notice of the tiny black Ditto crawling down the aisle. Proteus sat at Natasha's feet, and Natasha looked down. "Please - please tell me you're here to help," Natasha said to Proteus. Sweat was running down her face. Dreadite seemed to be toying with Tenchi for the moment, but there was no telling when he would inflict the final blow. Proteus wrapped one pseudopod around Natasha's wrist and pulled her out of the cake. He then cleared his throat. "Natasha Kanji, or Inverse, or whatever else your name currently is," he began in his haughty accent. "As I have been informed that you are an empowered individual, I am to deliver you unto my master. You can come quietly, or be beaten into submission and taken along against your will. Choose wisely." "What are you talking about?" Natasha cried. "Who are you?" "Have it your way," Proteus said, sneering. He slapped Natasha hard across the face with one pseudopod, then wrapped two other pseudopods tightly around her midriff. Showing strength absurd for one of his size, Proteus then effortlessly lifted Natasha over his head and made a mad dash with the half-conscious bride toward the exit, shoving his way past countless panicked wedding guests. He laughed as the people who actually noticed that Natasha was being abducted were helpless to do anything about it. All he had to do now was make it to the secret tunnel near the Celadon City Department Store with Natasha and he was home free... As Proteus made it to the end of the first city block with Natasha, however, he heard a voice behind him and stopped dead in his tracks. "Stop! In the name of love!" it shouted. Proteus whirled around, and barreling toward him at full speed was another Ditto. This particular Ditto was green, and soaked with punch. "Please," Proteus scoffed. "A run-of-the-mill talking Ditto thinks he can obstruct the path of the great, indestructible Praetor Proteus? This is just...silly." "Wrong!" snapped the other Ditto. "It's...SILLY PUTTY!!!"
