"Well, I was originally
from an alternate universe," said Pipian.
"Now THAT'S interesting..." said
Jamie. "How did you get here? And why
do you look like a normal person?"
"Well, in my original universe,
we..." he stopped as his mind tried to
repress any information from his past life.
"What?"
"Oh, I'm trying to think... I must
be repressing my old memories...
Anyway, in my old universe, we play with video games..."
"Yes?"
"Somehow, we have video games and
paraphenalia that just happens to
resemble this universe."
"Hmm..."
"But you aren't in the game, of
course!"
"That's good..."
"I somehow, when I tried to
electronically reprogram the game, I somehow
was warped to this universe."
"Hmm... Yes."
"I happened to assume the life of someone
with my original name, Pipian,
who happened to be a Psychic trainer in Saffron."
"Interesting..."
"I later learned in some visions in
dreams, that had Mew, that I was
brought to fight Mewtwo."
"So that's why you joined up with
Tiki?"
"Not exactly... Before you
literally dropped in back at Fuschia, I met
Orion. I met him while I was new on my journey."
"Hmm..."
"I did not know of my quest at the time,
though... Anyway, I continued
along with Orion and we eventually beat Brock, Misty, and Surge
and wound up
in Fuschia. We battled Koga, and then I accidentally ran
into Tiki. He
fainted with a psychic vision, and John just happened to walk
up. We took
Tiki to a hospital, where we formed what would be The Anti-Mewtwo
Crew.
Soon after, I had the dream with Mew, who explained why I'm here,
and then
talked with Tiki, and that was where our mission to fight Mewtwo
was born.
You promptly dropped in a few minutes after we decided to fight
Mewtwo."
"Hmm..."
"Orion, however just decided to follow
along with us because he was my
friend... He has no actual reason to fight Mewtwo...
Or at least for
now... He well... Nevermind."
"Nevermind about what?"
"He told me not to tell..."
"About what?"
"Orion! Come here!" said Pipian.
"OK!" said Orion as he scrambled
over towards the two. "What do you
want?"
"Orion? Is it OK?"
"About what?"
Pipian whispered the secret to Orion.
"What about it?"
"Her?"
"OK. Umm... Well Jamie,
errm... I'm not all I appear to be."
"Don't tell me... You're some
Mutant/Alien too, right?"
"Heck no! Why would I be
that?"
"Umm... Because of what you said..."
"Sorry... Well, I didn't know this,
but I (For some odd reason) was
adopted."
"What's so big about that?"
"Here's the clencher... I am an
illegitimate child..."
"What's so big about THAT?"
"Here's the bigger clencher... I am
the illegitimate child of Ash and
Misty!"
"What the heck!"
"Yah, well, you shouldn't use me, but,
because of that, I can get
certain things through this hotline. I don't know what
though."
"Hrmm..."
"And here are two other things...
you know 'the Gift' I talk about?"
"Yeeees?"
"Umm... It allows me to understand what
Pokémon are saying. That's why
I knew what Keri was saying."
"Hmm..."
"And there are other things yet to be
revealed from 'the Gift'..."
"The other thing..."
"Yes?"
"Relates to the mysterious disappearances
of Drowsee..."
"YOU STOLE HIM!?!?!"
"NO! I'm not a criminal. I'm
borrowing him to train my Psychic
powers."
"NOT YOU TOO!"
"Yes. Pipian?"
"Umm... You may be wondering why I
have Hypno?"
"No. You're training your psychic
powers up to incredible levels," she
said dully.
"You guessed!"
"No, I assumed."
"O... K... By the way, how do you
always manage to find a bat or some
metal pipe when Team Rocket attacks?"
"It's something you learn in the Team
Rocket Women's Training Course."
"Ah."
