Chapter 28: The Party

Marble was walking through an underground complex all by himself. The complex was dark and dank, and he appeared to be searching for something. “Hmmm, it’s gotta be around here somewhere…” he said to himself.

Meanwhile, Adam, Matthew & Brian arrived on New Island after braving the treacherous storms. “You guys made it!” exclaimed Brian.
“Yeah, we did. But where’s Jake?” Matthew asked. Suddenly, Adam’s Pokedex booted up.
“Hey, wait a minute, something’s wrong with my Pokedex!” Adam said, pulling his Pokedex out to see a bunch of random binary numbers on its screen. Suddenly, the Pokedex started to rumble, and flash out white light, then a beam of white light emerged from the Pokedex, and formed into the figure of Jake and his Porygon. “Yaaaaaaah!” Adam screamed.
“Hey guys.” Jake said, “I used my Porygon to get here via internet.”
“Next time ask before doing that!” Adam requested.
“… Sorry man, I just didn’t want to miss the party.” Jake said, apologizing.
“Hey dude, it’s okay, I was just surprised, that’s all.” Adam said to Jake.
“Heeeeyyyy! Dudes!” said a voice coming from the distance. Approaching them, riding a Fearow was Drew.
“Hey Drew! You made it!” shouted Matthew.
“Of course! I wouldn’t miss this party!” Drew said. Drew landed on the dock of New Island and recalled his Fearow.
“So, what’s next?” asked Brian.
“I don’t know. I guess we’re supposed to go into this castle.” Matthew said, pointing at the strange building occupying the small New Island. The five trainers walked up the spiral staircase and were met by a woman.
“Welcome to New Island.” Said the woman in a monotone voice. “Our master is expecting you.” The woman led the five trainers into the castle through the big double doors. Inside the castle, three trainers were eating hors douvre’s, and all their Pokemon were out enjoying their time playing in fountains provided.
“Ash isn’t here yet…” said Jake, disappointed to see his pupil not there.
“You five, combined with these three are so far the only trainers who have passed the first test.” Said the woman.
“Test? You mean that storm was created on purpose?” asked Matthew. The woman did not answer.
“Hahaha! This is awesome!” said Jake, who approached the three trainers. “Hey Fergus, guess what?” Jake asked the trainer in the blue wife-beater, apparently already knowing his name. “I once hugged a Psyduck!” Jake said, thinking Fergus cares.
“Ummmm. Good for you!” responded Fergus.
“Oh, and Corey! Great story for you! One time, while battling a Kadabra, I made my Paras eat a cotton ball!” Jake continued to the other male trainer, not realizing what he said didn’t make much sense in context.
“Uhhh, go away!” Corey responded, rightfully so.
“Oh, whatever.” Jake said, walking away from the trainers, and going back to his friends.
“Um, excuse me, miss.” Said Adam to the woman. “Who, exactly, is our host?”
“For now, that’s a secret.” The woman answered.
“How come?” asked Matthew. “I mean, he’ll eventually show himself, why keep it a secret?”
“He wants to not reveal himself until all trainers who are coming arrive.” The woman answered. “Please release your Pokemon, from their Pokeballs.” She asked.
“Uh, okay…” said Matthew. “Go Ivysaur, Nidoking, Gyarados and Parasect!” Matthew threw four Pokeballs into the air and each materialized into their respective Pokemon.
“Go Blaze, Squigglystuff, ‘Lectric, Batty, Pinko and Flapper.” Said Adam, releasing his Charizard, Jigglypuff, Pikachu, Golbat, Clefairy, and Pidgeot.
“Go Pikachu, Aerodactyl, Tangela and Pinsir!” said Brian, releasing his four Pokemon.
“I’ll release my Pokemon eventually, but right now, I’m waiting for someone.” Said Jake.
“Very well.” Said the woman.
“Hey, where’d Drew go?” asked Adam, noticing Drew was mysteriously absent.
“Didn’t he enter the castle with us?” asked Brian.
“He’s probably just in the bathroom.” Matthew suggested. “He’ll be out in time for the party.”
Just then, the double doors opened, and three more trainers walked in. It was Ash, Misty & Brock. “It seems the last of our guests have arrived.” Said the woman. “I’ll inform our host.”
“Ash! You made it!” said a happy Jake. “Ready to have our Pokemon Battle?” he asked.
“I guess so. Let’s go, Pikachu!” Ash said, commanding his Pikachu, which jumped off its shoulder and prepared for battle.
“I know just who to use.” Said Jake, grabbing a Pokeball from his belt. “Lets go, Scyther!” Jake said, throwing the Pokeball, and releasing his Mantis Pokemon. “Now, Scyther, use Swords Dance, then Quick Attack!” Jake commanded.
“SCYTHER!” said Scyther angrily, who ignored Jake’s orders and launched toward Pikachu. Without any traces of decency & humanity, Scyther, using its sickles, stabbed Pikachu’s stomach, causing a fountain of blood to gush out of the electric rodent.
“OH NO! PIKACHU!” screamed Ash, doing the Home Alone face.
“Ah! Return Scyther!” Jake said, recalling his Scyther, apparently winning the battle. “I need to figure out what’s wrong with you!” Jake said, talking to his Pokeball.
“Ladies & Gentlemen.” Said the woman. “Please release all your Pokemon now. Your host is ready.”
“Alright, then.” Responded Jake, releasing his Beedrill, Pikablu & Porygon from their Pokeballs. Ash, Misty & Brock only released a fraction of their Pokemon. “Um, guys. She said release ALL your Pokemon!” said Jake, dictating what Ash, Misty & Brock do.
“You know, you’re getting pretty annoying.” Said Brock, hitting the nail on the head. Brock released his Onix, Geodude & Zubat to join his Vulpix, Misty released her Staryu & Goldeen with her Psyduck, and Ash released his Pidgeotto with his Bulbasaur & Squirtle.
“Ladies & Gentlemen.” Said the woman. “May I present to you, the most strongest Pokemon Trainer in the World. Mewtwo.” As she finished, an elevator slid down its shaft into the party, Jake not believing what he was seeing.
