#18 of Part Three - A Journey Through The Unknown

Welp... My biggest problem with this is lack of motivation, but I have the next couple chapters planned out and they seem like they're going to be pretty fun.


"Alright so, Mewthree is back. Is that bad? Is he like, going to you know. Terrorize the... everything?" Electra asked as she hopped up onto the chair next to the one Kevin was sitting on.

"You know, you never waited for my answer." I said as I squirmed a little in Kevin's grip. "You could have waited for me to answer before like, snatching me up like that."

"I didn't snatch, I picked you up gently." Kevin said. "Come on, you can't just expect to be a Purrloin and not be picked up."

"Hopefully not." Cammy said as she looked to Electra, who just stared at her blankly.

"Hopefully not... Be picked up? What I don't get it hopefully not what?" Electra asked.

"Hopefully not as in hopefully he doesn't just go on a rampage until he finds you and then tear you into hundreds of pieces and like, light them on fire or something."

"That's a bit over the top." Electra said as she hopped down off of the chair. "Why didn't you just tell us that Mewthree was back, why did we have to come in here so urgently and watch the TV?"

"I don't wanna sit here and stare at the TV." I said as I began wiggling in Kevin's grip again. "Kevin put me down."

"Me either, it's boring. I want to like, go run or something, can we go back home?"

"Zeke you're, you know. You're you." Cammy said as she made a face at him. "I can't think of the words right now, but you're you."

"Of course I'm me Cammy, who else would I be?" Zeke asked as he walked over to her and sat down.

"A clone." She said as she nudged herself up against his side.

"Well then so could you but I'm not and you're not and we know that."

"Yeah but if I was, would you be willing to fight the clone of someone you love?" Cammy asked as she looked up at him.

"I'd just like, eat it or something." Zeke said. "Of course it wouldn't be a problem."

"Wow alright. Not the answer I was expecting at all."

"Well you said a clone of you!"

"Yeah but it's still ME!"

"No it isn't it's a clone, that's what you just said." Zeke said as he looked down at her.

"Yeah but it still looks and sounds like me. What if you ate the wrong one?"

"I wouldn't because the real you would probably do something uh... you know." He said as he looked over at Cameron.

"Oh fuck no." Cameron said as he held both hands out in front of him. "The last thing I want is two of them crawling all over me, it's bad enough there's one already."

"Oh you mean something sexual." Cammy said as she perked her right ear up, turning her head to look at Cameron, who held his hands further out in front of him.

"Nnnnooope." He said as he turned his head away. "Nope nope nope."

"Well if a clone of me ever pops up I'll keep that in mind. The one you don't eat is the one that suddenly tackles Cameron to the floor and aggressively makes out with and or humps him."

"Zeke look what you've started." Cameron said as he sighed softly. "You're so small Cammy, you couldn't tackle me over."

"She could if she used the move tackle." Electra said as she turned to face them.

"Shut up you aren't helping." Cameron said.

"She's still right." Cammy laughed. "So if a clone pops up I'm going to go find Cameron and we're gonna do the dirty."

"No, we are not." Cameron said as he stood up. "Find another way to... prove who you are. Something that doesn't involve me."

"But you know what I taste like." She said. "A clone would probably taste different."

"Yeah but I know what you taste like too." Zeke said.

"Yeah see he knows too go to him he'll taste the wrong one and spit you out." Cameron said as he straightened his jacket.

"It doesn't work like that." Cammy said. "My fur would be covered in drool."

"Yeah but you said you liked when I covered you in drool!" Zeke said as he pushed his nose up against her back and sniffed her gently.

"Rrnf." Cammy said as she looked down at the floor.

"Cammy Cameron wants to know how many you can fit." Electra said as she grabbed my tail and pulled on it.

"Ow." I mumbled as I looked down at her, pulling away from Kevin and hopping down onto the floor. "What?" I asked as she nodded her head toward Cammy.

"How ma... what?" Cammy asked as she looked up at Cameron. "You want to know what?"

"I NEVER EVEN SAID THAT!" Cameron shouted as he looked over at Electra. "What the hell?"

"I need a beer." Kevin laughed as he stood up and stretched.

"Yeah good idea I want a beer too." Electra said.

"How many what I can fit where?" Cammy asked.

"Inches in your body." Electra said. "He asked me to ask you in private so I could then tell him what your answer was later on."

"What the hell." Kevin said as he snorted, a huge grin on his face as he began making his way out of the Pokémon Center.

"Uh... Six?" Cammy said, shrugging. "I don't fucking know, why would I know that?"

"Because you shove like everything in there!" Cameron said.

"Oh so you did ask?" Cammy asked as she turned around, pressing both paws against Zeke's nose and pushing it away. "Why are you sniffing me?"

"NO!" he shouted. "Besides I'm like twice that so I wouldn't fit so there stop trying."

"HAH! Bull." Electra laughed as she walked up beside me, leaning against my side. "I've seen it."

"Why are we talking about this?" Cameron asked as he quickly sprinted over to Kevin and followed him out. "If you're coming too then... just stop with that stuff. I don't want to have sex with you."

"Because I forgot how good you smelled." Zeke said as his tail began to wag.

"Hey Cammy Cameron wants you to cum." Electra said as she motioned toward Cameron with her right paw. "And way to answer like an hour after the question, Zeke."

"Of course he does." She said as a huge grin spread across her muzzle. "He just doesn't want everyone to know how he really feels about me."

"Uh huh. Right." He said as he exited the Pokémon Center with Kevin.

"See I knew i- Zeke what the shit." Cammy said as she pushed his face away again. "Now is not the best time to just randomly lick me and stuff, I don't want my fur all messy right now."

"Sorry Cammy but, you just smell so good!" He said as he pulled his head away and stood upright.

"So what did you pull my tail for?" I asked as I glanced over at Electra, who shrugged and looked up at me. "I forgot, but like, you're huge."

"Probably because I had a Raichu literally stuffed down my throat." I said as I rolled my eyes. "And two Pikachu."

"I actually had nothing to do with the two Pikachu that was all you." She said as she turned to face Cammy. "So what are we going to do about this... Mewthree problem?"

"Uh, nothing." She said as she climbed up onto Zeke and sat herself up on his back. "Well, not me at least. I can't fight something like that."

"Yeah me either." Zeke said. "We didn't really do anything last time either though."

"Hey, Dallas right? And Electra?" someone asked from nearby.

My ears immediately perked up as I turned my head toward the source of the sound, an Audino behind the counter.

"Uh, yeah that's us, what do you want?" Electra asked as she turned her attention to the Audino.

"Bring your friends with you, we need you back here urgently!" She said as she motioned behind the counter with one of her paws.

"His friends?" Cammy huffed as she turned toward the counter. "How does that Chansey not know who we are?"

Electra looked up at Cammy and blinked a few times, staying perfectly still and staring at her as if she were crazy.

"Must be like a replacement for the old one or something?" Zeke asked. "I don't know I thought all of them knew."

"They should." Cammy said as she motioned toward the counter. "Try not to knock me off." She said as she leaned forward and put her arms around Zeke's neck just as Zeke nodded and walking forward, hopping up onto the counter before quickly jumping down on the other side.

"Might as well." Electra shrugged as she walked over and hopped up onto it, turning around and looking at me.

"Yeah yeah." I said, shrugging as I followed her, hopping up onto the counter and dropping down onto the other side alongside her. "What could they possibly need help with that requires all of us to be there?"

"Moving things? I don't know." She said as we began following behind Zeke, who was following the Audino.

"This way this way, hurry!" She said as she lead us through the back room and into the hallway.

"And we couldn't just walk into the hallway without jumping over the counter because..." Electra mumbled as she looked around the area.

"In here in here." Audino said as she turned a corner. When I turned the corner with Electra she was holding a door open, waving with her other paw for us to enter.

"This isn't weird at all. What's in there?" Electra said as she stopped walking, watching Zeke walk inside with Cammy. "And in case you didn't already know that was sarcasm."

"It's fine, it's a Pokémon." Zeke yelled from inside the room. "Thank you so much Chansey!"

"Yeah let's... not." Electra said as she grabbed my paw and pulled me the other way.

"Whoa." I mumbled as I spun around and hesitantly followed her in the other direction. "What's up? They need us in there."

"Uh, no they don't." She said as she continued walking.

"Yes they do there's a Pokémon in there or something." I said as I turned my head to look behind me.

"Hey where are you going?" the Audino asked as she stood there just outside of the doorway.

"Well for one, Zeke and Cammy both called that Pokémon a Chansey. Does that look like a Chansey to you?" Electra said as she continued to walk forward.

"Well... no but they could have jus-"

"Cammy wouldn't make that sort of mistake." Electra said. "Also, Cammy didn't answer my question the way Cammy would answer that question."

"Which one?" I asked. "You asked a lot of questions I think."

"Hurry up and take us to our house. The place Kevin lives." She said as she gripped my paw tighter.

"Er, alright." I said as I closed my eyes, tugging on Electra's paw to get her to stop walking before quickly teleporting us to the house right in front of the garage door.

"Perfect." She said as she let go of my paw and began making her way to the front door. "Cammy and Zeke seemed to just appear out of nowhere when we went to the Pokémon Center, and that Audino didn't know who we were."

"Well yeah. But Kevin and Cameron were there. And they left to come here." I said as I followed her toward the front door.

"Yeah, true, and we've got about fifteen minutes until they get here. But they probably assumed Cammy and Zeke had been with us the whole time." She said as she dropped down onto all fours and walked through the flap in the bottom of the door.

I also dropped down onto all fours and squeezed myself through the flap. When I was inside, Electra patted my head with one of her paws.

"Also, that." She said as she pointed to the right.

"Oh, hey Dallas, hey Electra." Cammy said as she hopped down off of the counter and quickly made her way over to us, nibbling on a Kiwi. "What's up?"

"How many can you fit?" Electra asked as Zeke, who was laying there in the middle of the floor, lifted his head and looked over at us.

"What." Zeke mumbled softly.

"Seven." Cammy said as she took another bite of the kiwi.

"See." Electra said as she nudged me. "This is Cammy."

"Okay okay fine you were right. But then what was that all about back at the Pokémon Center?" I asked as I sat down beside Cammy.

"What was what?" Cammy asked as she licked up some of the juice that was dribbling down her chin. "What happened now?"

"Probably a trap. There was probably like, an army of Pokémon in there waiting to murder us or something." Electra said.

"What?" Cammy asked. "Someone tried to murder you?"

"No." I said softly, shaking my head. "Or rather I don't know. There was like, a fake you, and a fake Zeke there and you were leading us to some room in the Pokémon Center and Electra stopped me because you both called the Audino Chansey and I guess there was a trap in there so they could murder us, I don't know."

"Which room?" Cammy asked. "Do you remember which way you went?"

"Yeah they had us go over the counter for some reason." Electra said. "But once we were in the hallway it was like... Actually I have no idea but the door was blue and opened inwards."

"Yeah the only doors there that are blue and open inwards are well... Let's just say it's where they put the more aggressive Pokémon when they can't get along with anyone else." Cammy laughed as she shoved the rest of the kiwi into her mouth.

"The walls are padded and resist all types of attacks so they can't get out." Zeke said. "But they're usually sedated when they're brought in there because no one really goes voluntarily."

"Wouldn't we be able to just teleport out?" I asked. "Why go through the trouble of trying to get us in there, and with a fake Zeke and Cammy in there with us?"

"Er, you aren't supposed to be able to but we've never had to put a psychic type in there so I have no idea." Zeke said as Cammy swallowed the Kiwi chunk, waving her paws around in the air.

"I'm sure it would be difficult to teleport out if someone murdered you in there." Cammy laughed softly as she began licking the juice off of her paws.

"Where did murder even come from?" I asked. "No one tried to murder us."

"Yeah who could murder such a cutie?" Cammy said as she walked forward and rubbed herself up against my side. "Look at him!"

"Aww, Cammy." I laughed as I put one of my paws around her, pulling her snugly up against my side.

"I could murder you but like, I would never do it." Zeke said.

"Maybe if he was a small Pokémon and you chomped down on him or something, but you couldn't murder him right now with him being such a large one." Cammy said.

"Is it still murder if he was a Torchic and like, fed himself to me?" Zeke asked.

"Yes." Cammy said as she squirmed out of my grip.

I perked my ears up as I heard the sound of Kevin parking his car in front of the garage.

"But how is it murder if he wanted me to eat him?" Zeke asked.

"I murdered three colony members today." I said as I looked down at Cammy, who shot me a blank stare.

"I'm going to murder you all." Kevin said as he opened the door and entered, Cameron following him inside and closing it shortly afterwards.

"Can we murder Cammy first?" Cameron asked as he looked down at her.

"What the hell did I do?" She asked as she looked up at him.

"No one is murdering anyone." Electra said as she shook her head.

"You left all that other world money in my... cat." Kevin said as he looked down at me.

"I left what in your what?" I asked as I stared up at him.

"Cat... cat... car. I meant car. I was distracted by the fact that you're a cat." He said.

"Kevin someone tried to murder Dallas and Electra in the Pokémon Center." Zeke said as he got to his feet.

"I'm sure they handled it just fine." He said. "But what am I going to do with all this money I can't even use?"

"Oh whatever happened in the Pokémon Center wasn't us." Cammy said. "Apparently those were our clones or something."

"It's true." Electra said. "They tried to lead us to the Pokémon Center's murder room."

"I've heard the word murder more times today than I have in my whole life." Zeke mumbled.

"Hello? Money?" Kevin asked.

"Just bring it back." Electra said as she waved a paw at him. "And while we're there we can pick up that Pokémon we left there and I guess Ben and whoever else. Cody? I don't know what his name was."

"The Pokémon Center has a murder room? That sounds a little counterproductive." Cameron laughed. "Is it where they put Pokémon down?"

"Yeah sure that place." Electra said. "With the padded walls."

"Wait they seriously have a room dedicated to killing things?" Kevin asked. "What?"

"Oh my Arceus no." Cammy said as she slapped both paws over her face. "It's a room where they keep crazy or aggressive Pokémon and it's built so they can't break out."

"Oh. Where'd murder come from then?" Cameron asked.

"Exactly!" I said as I stood up, looking around the room.

"You were talking about murder when I came in and so I joined in because I don't like having a car full of unusable money." Kevin said. "Speaking of which... can we just you know, go?"

"To the bathroom?" Zeke asked. "I went already, Cammy took me outside."

"That's nice Zeke. I meant go back to the place we were stuck in earlier so I can return this money and leave. And I guess pick up the others we left behind." Kevin said.

"Sounds fine to me." Electra said. "I really liked it there."

"All you did was stuff your face the whole time." Cameron said.

"Yeah but they have chicken so it's worth it." Electra laughed.

"So let's go then." Kevin said as he opened the door back up and motioned for us to go out.

"Uh... whatever it beats being here I guess." I said as I turned around and walked outside, followed by Electra. "Gives us something to do to pass the time while the colony gets themselves reorganized."

"Speaking of which, we totally have to do that when we get back. Like, seriously we have to sort that out."

"Yeah yeah I know." I sighed softly as I walked out away from everything as everyone made their way to the car. "Just you know, get in the car and stuff and I'll open the portal."

"Yay I get to watch Dallas turn into a Palkia again!" Zeke barked as Kevin opened the car door and he jumped inside.

"Zeke... ow." Kevin mumbled as he rubbed the back of his head. "Not so loud."
