He flicked back into existence at a point fifty seven point six two three kilometers away. He spotted a butterfly and chased it briefly, catching it lightly in between his teeth twice before letting it go to commence the game again.
He was Ash, he was Ranma, he was Schroedinger. Of course he could catch a butterfly.
After a time he curled up in a little ball in an area he deemed comfortable and went to sleep.
Misty went West.
Misty went East.
Neither Misty was thinking about the odd connection between them or what they were going to do next. Right now they were in a panic and just thinking about getting away.
They were reminded of it when one Misty fell down a ditch, followed by the other Misty pinching herself hard to remind her other self of the connection.
Nurse Nanako brought power up in the medical chamber again, it having an emergency backup power supply that could be switched on.
She then set to the immediate problems of making sure the various test and containment equipment was operating.
Life Support - Rebooted
Cage #1 - Empty, see file Misty.
Cage #2 - Empty, see file Ranma.
Cage #3 - Spirit Animal Containment OK.
Cage #4 - Spirit Animal Containment OK.
Cage #5 - Spirit Animal Containment OK.
Cage #6 - Failure.
Cage #7 - Spirit Animal Containment OK.
Cage #8 - Spirit Animal Containment OK.
Cage #9 - Spirit Animal Containment OK.
That single line was concerning, but Nanako went through the remainder of checks before returning to that. There would have been less than a full second between the power cutting off and the emergency power supply switching on. Only ONE of the creatures had escaped, but that could be very bad.
"Something cute and fluffy and harmless, I hope," said Nurse Nanako to herself as she brought up a lifesigns monitor. There was Brock and the Professor. There was...
"Oh hell," said Nurse Nanako.
Brock perked up as dim emergency lighting flickered on. If he had to spend time in the dark, why couldn't it have been with Nurse Nanako?
"Professor?" said a voice from the intercom.
"Nurse Nanako? We appear to be locked in here," said the Professor.
"What was in Cage Six?" asked Nurse Nanako.
"I don't recall," said Professor Oak. "Why? Is it important?"
"Whatever it is, it's loose." Nanako managed to sound a little worried.
"Hmmm, oh it's probably nothing dangerous," said the Professor.
