Chapter 47: On the Hunt

North Kanto Forest was barren, save for two mini-vans plowing through the unmarked terrain. Inside one of the mini-vans was Jake. He was invited by Alex to a hunt for a Legendary Pokemon. This was Jake’s first time to North Kanto Forest, and he had heard from Matthew what a strange place it is. Suddenly, the mini-van in front pulled to the side.
“Guess this must be the place.” Jake assumed. Him and Alex got out of the mini-van, and out of the other mini-van, exited Brian, Professor Sashkatch, and a new person.
“Ah, you must be Jake!” said Professor Sashkatch. “Brian told me you were the one responsible for stopping Mewtwo?”
“Yeah. I try not to brag though.” said Jake in response.
“Well, though I am grateful, I would have wished things were handled differently, but what’s done is done. We have more important things to worry about.” said Professor Sashkatch. “By the way, I’d like to introduce you to Gordon.” he introduced the young man.
“Alex, Brian, Jake, I am a Scientist of Team Rocket’s.” Started Gordon. “During an incident, we lost two very important experiments, and we have to find them. You three have been chosen to help recover the experiments.”
“You keep using the word “experiments.”” said Jake. “Are these Pokemon or not?” he asked.
“Yes, they are Pokemon.” Gordon responded. “Whoever can recover them first gets $10,000. Now go find them! One is Blue and one is Orange!”
“Right!” Alex, Brian and Jake said in unison, and ran into the woods to search for the missing experiments.

Jake explored and searched the plains, Alex searched the trees, and Brian searched the butte. Brian was at a small, hidden waterfall in the butte and discovered something. It was a medium sized, bipedal Blue Cat-like Pokemon. It had a total of four arms and looked quite feminine. It basked in the waterfall, having its daily shower. It looked so serene. It then turned around to face Brian, as if it was aware of his presence.
“Hello!” said the creature, with a feminine voice, through its own lips. “I said hello!” it said again almost instantly.
“Uh, hi!” Brian responded.
“What is your name?” asked the creature.
“My name is Brian.” responded Brian.
“Brian? Funny name! My name is Mewthree.” responded the creature.
“Mewthree?” asked Brian. “Do you know what you are?” he asked.
“Yes, silly. I am a clone.” Mewthree answered. “Where’s my brother?” she asked with a whiny tone.
“You have a brother?” Brian asked.
“Yes, I miss him...” Mewthree said.

Meanwhile, down on the plains, Jake heard the sounds of a galloping horse approaching. “What the?” Jake asked himself, and hid behind a tree. Eventually, a Rapidash appeared, and on it riding was a hooded person. “It’s him!” Jake thought to himself.
“Return Rapidash.” said the figure, unaware he was being spied on. Then, he lifted his arms, and floated up the butte.
“What? Psychic Power?” Jake thought to himself, having been familiar with Psychic Power. “I better follow and watch out for Brian.” he thought to himself, and followed the Hooded Figure.

“Do you know anything about your parents?” Brian asked Mewthree.
“Parents? I don’t have parents. Just my brother.” Mewthree answered. “I miss my brother...”
“Okay, okay. We’ll help you find your brother!” Brian said. “Come with me, my friends will help.” He grabbed Mewthree’s hand and escorted her away from the Waterfall and down the Butte. They were quickly intercepted by the Hooded Person, who had floated up the Butte using Psychic Powers.
“Operation I.S.E., you’re mine!” said the Hooded Figure, and used his Psychic Powers to bind Mewthree in place.
“Aaaahhh! Brian, help me!” Mewthree shrieked and screamed, as the Hooded Figure had seemed to be hurting her.
“Stop that right now!” Brian shouted, as he grabbed a Poke Ball from his belt. “Pikachu, let’s go!” said Brian, tossing the Poke Ball and releasing his Pikachu.
“Pikachu!” said Pikachu.
“Pikachu, Thunderbolt!” Brian commanded.
“Pikachuuuuuu!” said Pikachu, as it blasted a bolt of lightning to the Hooded Figure, floating in midair. The Hooded Figure wasn’t the least bit fazed.
“It’s you!” said Brian. “You saved us from the Mt. Moon cave-in! What are you doing to Mewthree?”
“Mewthree is a Legendary. I am going to capture all the Legendaries, and there’s nothing you can do about it. I have Power!” said the Hooded Figure, as he did so, he put his hand in his pocket and felt something up, and petted his side.
“Leave me alone!” screamed a bothered Mewthree. “Kyaaah!” she screamed as the Hooded Figure approached her, ready to force her into one of his Poke Balls.
“Spear!” said a voice coming from behind. It was a Beedrill, and it was flying straight to the Hooded Figure.
“Beedrill, Twinneedle!” Jake commanded, running from down the Butte.
“Spear!” said Beedrill, and it pricked the Hooded Figure.
“Yaaaaaah!” screamed the Hooded Figure. “I’ve been poisoned, I’ve been POISONED!” he screamed in hysteria.
“If it isn’t the Hooded Rapidash rider!” Jake said as he caught up with Brian. “So you have turned evil?” he asked.
“My intentions and my alignment should be none of your concern.” the Hooded Figure said in a monotone voice, as if he was ignoring the fact his body was poisoned. Suddenly, a loud “TWANG” noise was heard.
“Huhh!” gasped Mewthree, as she completely suddenly, started to convert into Green Energy, and transferred into a Master Ball.
“What?” asked the Hooded Figure.
“Alex?” asked Jake, seeing it was Alex that tossed the Master Ball at Mewthree.
“Alex, you’ve captured Mewthree...” said Brian, unsure of what would happen next.
“No, No! NOOOOOOOO!” said the Hooded Figure, clearly upset he didn’t capture Mewthree himself. “You, you’re never going to be forgiven!” he threatened the three of them. “Just watch, soon, I’m gonna be the big bad.” he said, and he instantly teleported away, leaving Brian, Jake and Alex on the butte. Alex held up his Master Ball, smiling, and Jake and Brian were exchanging glances.
“What is happening?” Jake asked Brian rhetorically, and they stare off in the distance, pondering what’s to come.
