[@champion-rocket] Alright, I've got to ask: What's the situation with the cloned birds?
Oh yeah sure, that’s fair.
Basically, due to Lance’s control of the sacred beasts of Johto, the boss was looking for a way to match them, and the sacred birds had been roosting in known locations.
Actually capturing the birds would be way too conspicuous, especially with how much Lance had people turned against us. So the boss sent me, my rival, and the kid to each go find one of the birds. I went to find articuno. After I had gathered a feather from battling it, I had to go to where zapdos was because police had surrounded it and were hunting my rival down. One of the executives came to help too. They dealt with the cops and Lorelei while I got the feather from zapdos.
My babies are the first successful clones of the birds. I couldn’t use them to face Lance, because after the thing with Zapdos they banned anyone from challenging the champion alongside the birds because “they must have acquired them illegally because there’s only one of them” (which isn’t even true? They’re powerful Pokémon but they are individuals of a species pretty proveably)
