Action!" "Waitaminute, but I thought you were going to be attacking us?" Oz asked nervously, still imitating Misty. "I am," Minax said coolly, holding Omelette. "But for now I'll be seeing how bad you'll do. Your little Pokemon can act the part for now, seeing as how they're probably not good for much else." Upon hearing this, Sandshrew and Kitty-chan obediently collaborated, the Meowth mounting herself on top of Sandshrew, forming a weird, almost 3 and a half foot tall thing, looking more silly than threatening. "Thanks." Oz said softly to the two helpful Pokemon, while trying to stifle a laugh. He turned and walked away several yards, to give more space for the battle sequence, before turning right back around, and striking a tense, ready for action position. Kitty-chan growled lightly at the false Misty, acting the part of a vicious murderer. Although confidence being mostly alien to him, acting the Misty attitude as best as he can takes a lot of it, yelling, "If you want the girl, you'll have to go through me!" Minax sighed and rolled her eyes at his trite choose of words, Omelette sitting in her lap, quietly murmuring to herself obliviously. "Go, Psyduck!" He called. Several seconds passed. "Psyduck?" "Tally ho!" The Psyduck actor cried, leaping from the rafters high up above. Landing squarely between Oz and the mockup murderer, falling into a battle stance. "En garde, foul wench!" Oz, Kitty-chan and Sandshrew blinked. "CUT!!" Minax yelled, almost growling. "What are you doing?!" Howard the Psyduck turned to face the angry Minax. "Beg your pardon, but I felt that my character's been misunderstood, and your views on how he would act are most likely sheerly biased." Minax seethed, the only thing seemingly to keep her from getting up and violently strangling Howard to death was Omelette, resting peacefully in her lap. Oz quickly went over besides Howard, kneeling down as to talk to him quickly before Minax blew. "You know, Howard, I wouldn't give this Minax lady too much trouble if I were you. You know, just to be safe. In fact, if it weren't for extreme luck, my Meowth over there would already be dead. And something tells me she might not hesitate to cut you up and turn you from Psyduck to Psyfillet." Howard looked away from 'Misty,' took one look into Minax's disdainful eyes, and gulped as he saw this to be true. Looking at Minax again, he shuddered, asking, "So what is it you will have me act?" Minax sighed, "I've already told you, you run around like an idiot, act like you have a headache, saying 'Psy' a bunch of times, before I pretend you use some sort of psychic attack on me." "Hmm..." Howard thought this over for a few seconds, "Psy?" "No, no, you have to act like you have a headache, like you're in pain. Put your hands on your head." Howard held his head in the usual Psyduck position, trying again. "Psy! Psy! Psy!" Minax rolled her eyes. "Close enough," she muttered as she gently puts Omelette back in her sack, and standing up. "We should go find that little girl now, before she leaves the city. Chances are, she'll be trying for a badge." With that said, she strode off towards the exit of the undercover secret Team Rocket center, leaving Oz, and the three Pokemon to hurry after her. "I think I detest that woman." Howard said loathingly. TBC! ~ ~ ~ I know it's not much, but I've been desperately been trying to get around to writing for a week now. Really sorry for holding you guys up, Robert and Nori!
