        A Supply Closet…
        Jen had materialized within a supply closet…
        “Nice…now where is that gem?” Jen wondered as she began searching the ground for the gem. Fortunately, there wasn’t much on the ground, so finding the gem was easy. She picked it up and placed it in her pocket.
        She slowly and quietly peeked out of the door, only to see a large room full of grunts.
        “Damn it. The gem just had to send me here!
        She scanned the room as best she could from the door and realized that it was a mess hall. A sly grin crept across Jen’s face as a mischievous idea came to mind.
        Jen focused on a table and flicked her fingers at the grunts and their food. One of the plates of food flew up into the air and hit an Aqua grunt on the back of the head. He quickly turned around from his table and glared at the Dim Sun grunt, who had just lost their food.
        “Think that’s funny wise guy?” The Agua grunt growled.
        “No! It wasn’t me! My plate--”
        The Aqua grunt stood up from his chair and grabbed the Dim Sun grunt by the scruff of his uniform. “I’m going to enjoy this.” He sneered as he pulled back his fist.
        A couple grunts from the Dim Sun grunt’s table stood and shoved the Aqua grunt backwards. The grunts from the Aqua grunt’s table stood as well and retaliated. Soon, everyone in the mess hall was fighting and throwing food.
        “It’s really easy to start a fight amongst these Teams. I wonder if Giovanni even thought about this?” Jen wondered as she slipped past the brawl.
        Unfortunately, she took some damage before reaching the door. A handful of what felt like mashed potatoes hit her on the back of her head.
        “Grr…” Caught up in the moment, Jen turned on her heels and faced the brawl.
        Food was being thrown more than fists were. It looked like a scene taken out of a movie.
        An apple sudden flew from the brawl and soared towards Jen. She quickly caught it in the air and launched it back into the messy crowd, cracking one unfortunate grunt in the mouth with it. The grunt fell backwards, while her friends watched.
        Jen chuckled at the sight, but quickly tensed up and fled from the mess hall as the grunt’s comrades chased after her. “WORTH IT!
        “Get back here you twerp!”
        Jen ran faster as she sprinted down the hallway. Her legs were burning, but she knew she would be in a lot more pain if the grunts caught up to her. Plus, the grunts wouldn’t stop until they caught her. Jen willed herself to keep running, but she was growing tired.
        “Dang it. Come on, Jen! Keep going!” She mentally urged herself.
        She sprinted faster, and eventually lost the grunts, or so she hoped. Jen slowed to a brisk walk as she tried to steady her breathing. “That was way to close.”
        Jen scanned the hallway that the grunts chased her down. There weren’t a lot of doors and it was…empty. A red flag immediately went up in her mind.
        “Am I being watched?” Jen reached up and touched her band. “White, can you hear me? White? Lacy? Clara? Red? Anybody? I’m I connected?”
        Her only response was static.
        “I found her!” One of the grunts who were chasing her earlier cried.
        “Grab her!” Another called.
        Jen started running again, but what appeared to be a television flew at her. A Tyranitar had ripped it off of the wall above one of the doors and thrown it at her.
        Jen ducked as the flat screen flew over her head and crashed in front of the grunts. The grunts leapt over the television and continued chasing after Jen. “Tyranitar, grab her!”
        Tyranitar obeyed and grabbed Jen and lifted her up off of her feet. Jen struggled in its arms, but it squeezed tighter.
        “What should we do with her? Her punishment should fit her crime.”
        One of the grunts looked behind Jen and grinned. “The brat needs to be put in a time-out. That cell will do.” The grunt said as she pointed towards the cell.
        The grunts walked with Tyranitar to the door of the cell. Jen still struggled in its grip, but she wasn’t worried. All she had to do was place the gem back on and walk out of the cell from the other world.
        The grunts opened the cell door as Tyranitar threw Jen inside the cell. She slid across the ground as the grunts slammed and locked the cell door.
        “Jerks.” Jen muttered as she began to reach for her gem, but she froze when she caught sight of the being standing before her. “H-Hello, Mewtwo.”
