Luthor the Slowpoke is sitting on the floor of the Cerulean Pokemon Center, his head hanging low, still in contemplation while he waits for Nurse Joy to heal the four Pokemon that make up his 'army', "How could any being other than Superman defeat Parasite? That duck must be omnipotent. I should enslave him, and make him part of my army. But first, that girl would have to lower her guard. That girl! *Twice* she's foiled my evil schemes! Why, if she were here right now, I'd..." "Misty the Mighty has arrived!" Misty appears in the doors of the Pokemon Center which she had just kicked in to make her entrance more dramatic. The good looks that recently came to her with age affected her personality somewhat, though she is still as loud, bossy, and ostentatious as ever. The Cerulean Gym Leader is wearing a red bikini top, blue shorts held up only by red suspenders, and beach sandals. She is holding her Togepi in her arms, whose constant chirping annoyingly lets everyone know which of the Sensational Sisters she is, "Nurse Joy, I have a Pokemon that need to be healed, STAT!" Nurse Joy is holding a tray with four Pokeballs on it when she faces Misty with a polite smile, "Please take a seat, Misty, and I'll be with your shortly. Oh, and there are better ways to open doors than with your feet... try using your hands next time!" "Sorry about that..." Misty blushes when Joy confronts her in the joyful manner that most Joys do, and decides to be polite, "It's just that since I'm always carrying Togepi around, my hands aren't free to open doors anymore!" Misty smiles when Nurse Joy nods, seemingly buying the excuse. Misty motions to her Poliwrath, who is waiting outside, "Come on in, Poliwrath!" Luthor has finally managed to stand up on his four legs, "Now, to destroy this Misty and enslave her omnipotent duck! Bwa... ha... ha... ha..." After a brief session of maniacal laughter, Luthor decides to make the conscious effort to walk, but his body doesn't cooperate with his mind, so he doesn't move. Ten seconds after Luthor sees a Poliwrath enter the Pokemon Center with a pure white Persian in its arms, his jaw drops in surprise, "It's Catwoman! Misty has enslaved the felonious feline? How can she possibly do that?! It's wrong, it's corrupt, it's so unlike a heroine! Besides, Catwoman should be *Luthor's* slave!" When Misty sits down on a bench without even noticing Luthor, she bends over to put Togepi on the floor, "Now, you stay away from any psychopathic Slowpoke who would use you as a hostage, Togepi!" Figuring that this warning is enough for her curious Pokemon, Misty puts her Togepi on the ground, crosses her legs, and proceeds to paint her fingernails blue while she waits for Nurse Joy, completely ignoring her Togepi as she often does. Misty's Togepi immediately waddles towards Luthor and smiles! "Prrrrriiii!" Togepi offers one of its tiny hands to the Slowpoke, wanting to become the pink Pokemon's precious pal, "Toge-toge-prri?" "Leave me alone, foolish unborn child! Luthor is busy trying to figure out what he has that Misty would want. Hmmm..." Luthor stares at Togepi, "Hmmm..." He clenches his jaw, "Mmmm..." Suddenly, his eyes grow wide, "Of course! I could use..." "TOGEPI!" A giant Raichu wielding a halberd points his ax at the baby Pokemon, "<...and I thought those were banned!>" Darwin, a black Eevee right behind the Raichu, tilts his head, "Eeevee? <What do you mean, Samuraichu?>" Samuraichu smirks and swings his halberd over his shoulder, "<Nevermind that, Darwin!>" His attention then focuses on Luthor the Slowpoke, who seems to be scheming up some diabolical plan, "RAI! <Who's that Pokemon?>" Luthor, who doesn't understand the Raichu or the Eevee, finally verbally finishes his thought, "... that pen I got in Pewter!" "<I dunno, but he seems kinda slow.>" Samuraichu swings his halberd at Luthor's neck, and stops right before it slices the Slowpoke's head off, but Luthor doesn't react in any way, "<Sheesh. I've seen inanimate objects with faster reflexes...>" After a few seconds, Luthor's face shows anger, "Who dares try to assassinate Luthor? Fortunately for you, Luthor was able to use his superior powers of mentalism to stop the weapon before it hit! Now prepare to face the wrath of..." "Togepi!" The baby bird Pokemon hugs Luthor at the most awkward moment in his madness, "Togeh-toh! Prrrrriiii!" Samuraichu snatches Togepi away from Luthor, "Raichu! <We can't face the wrath of Togepi! That's against the rules!>" He feels a tap on his shoulder. Samuraichu turns around to see a very angry Gym Leader. Misty pulls Togepi away from him with both of her hands and, thinking that the six foot tall Raichu is trying to steal her Togepi, kicks Samuraichu! The Raichu instinctively raises his halberd to defend himself, but decides that it's not necessary and lowers it. Nurse Joy runs up to the gathering holding a tray of Pokeballs, "No sparring inside the Pokemon Center! Especially not with weapons! You'd better be careful with that thing, Raichu, you could poké someone's eye out!" Nurse Joy removes four Pokeballs from the tray and drops them in front of Luthor. She grins a little cynically, "We hope to see you again!" She then goes back to her usual innocent smile and holds the tray in front of Misty, "We're ready for your Pokemon!" Misty shakes her head, "The Pokemon isn't in a Pokeball." She motions towards her Poliwrath to bring her new Persian. "...and now that Luthor has his army at his disposal, he is ready to enslave your Pokemon!" Luthor whispers in response to Joy, who spoke over five seconds ago. He uses telekinesis to move the four Pokeballs in front of him onto the belt he wears... Darwin is shocked when he sees that Luthor owns Pokeballs, "<How can you own other Pokemon?! That's just like slavery!>" Luthor thinks about this, then smirks at the black Eevee, "You just answered your own question, you idiot." Before Darwin can give a speech about Pokemon rights, Samuraichu exclaims, "RAICHU! <Look, Darwin, it's Blizzard! I was wondering where she ran off to...>" Samuraichu points at Misty's Poliwrath, who is holding the white Persian in his arms. Nurse Joy looks at Samuraichu, then at Blizzard, then back at Samuraichu, then faces Misty, "This Raichu seems to know this Persian. Where did you get this Persian, Misty? I think that the Raichu might be her owner. Did you...?" "I didn't steal her!" Misty shouts before Nurse Joy can finish, "The Persian just waltzed into my Gym, and she didn't have an owner, so I decided to give her a home!" Misty looks at Samuraichu's halberd and sweatdrops, "...but if it's his Pokemon, then he can have her, even though I think a Pokemon owning another Pokemon is wrong. Even Meowth didn't own any Pokemon. Then again, he *did* try to take my Togepi! The nerve!" Misty's Togepi chirps at the mention of his pre-natal friend, "Prrrri!" Samuraichu walks over to Misty's Poliwrath and takes the fainted body of Blizzard the Persian from it. Darwin marches up to Misty in order to preach to her that humans owning Pokemon is as wrong as Pokemon owning Pokemon, but to Misty it only sounds like a cute squeals coming from an even cuter fluff-ball, "Eeevee! Eeeveee!" She reaches down and scratches Darwin under his chin for a moment, then stands up straight and stretches, "Well, since we found the Persian's owner, I can go back to my Gym! I just hope Ash will join me tonight, if you know what I mean!" Misty giggles and Togepi mimics its surrogate mother, "Prriiii!" Misty recalls her Poliwrath into its Pokeball, and heads outside the doors of the Pokemon Center, still giggling over thoughts about spending the night with Ash Ketchum. Luthor growls at the doors as Misty leaves, "Come back here, infidel! Luthor hasn't thwarted you yet!" The Slowpoke lowers his head for a moment in disappointment, then looks back up, "Bah, Forget that foolish female human! Fortunately, she put Catwoman in the hands of an oaf. It should be easy enough to defeat him using my superior intellect! Bwa... ha... ha..." Luthor laughs, unaware of the fact that Electric Pokemon make Water Pokemon smart... and not in the good way. -Luthor
