Chapter 26: The Cinnabar Lab

Brian had traveled to Cinnabar Island to visit the Cinnabar Laboratory, knowing it specializes in reviving fossilized Pokemon. He had four badges, and decided it was time to take a trip to revive the Old Amber he found in Mt. Moon. The tropical weather of the island was moist and refreshing, and it appeared something was amiss about the shore, but Brian couldn’t figure out what.
Brian walked through the sliding doors of Cinnabar Lab. Inside he saw a man waddling his fingers like a child, three trainers that looked like they want to trade, and a man reviving a fossil. “Ah, I’ve been expecting you!” said the man. “My name is Professor Sashkatch.”
“Nice to meet you Professor.” Brian politely responded. “I have a fossil Professor Oak said you could examine.”
“Of course I could.” Said Professor Sashkatch. “Even though I do study fossils, I just wanted to let you know, I’m more of a Pokemon Cryptozoologist. There are plenty of undocumented Pokemon out there, but nobody knows where they’re from!”
“Really…” responded Brian.
“You bet, in fact, I was just studying this “Tar Fossil”.” Professor Sashkatch pointed to the macine’s dome. “I have never seen such a fossil, but there appears to be DNA in it.”
“Do you know which Pokemon it is?” asked Brian.
“Unfortunately no.” answered the Professor. “We’re just going to have to wait patiently for the cloning process to conclude.” The Professor continued. “But there’s more to my studies. Eyewitnesses have reported actual Pokemon cryptids. “Mythical Pokemon.” But the thing is, they’re so mysterious, we don’t even know if they’re Pokemon at all!”
“I never knew this world of Pokemon would be this complex!” said Brian, breaking the fourth wall.
“It is, and there seems to be more to study every day, but that’s enough for now.” The Professor concluded. “Now, lets see that fossil of yours?”
“Of course, here’s my Old Amber.” Said Brian, handing his fossil to Professor Sashkatch.
“It will take awhile for me to fully revive the Pokemon inside.” Said the Professor. “How about sticking around the island for awhile?”
“Sure.” Brian said, and started to leave the lab. Before he could make it to the door, a trio of Team Rocket Members, two humans with white t-shirts with a red R on it, and a Meowth, bursted in. “Oh no! It’s you guys, Jessie & James!”
“AHHAHAHAHA” the three laughed in Unison. “Prepare for trouble.” said Jessie.
“And make it double.” Said the James, with a deep, smooth voice.

To protect the world from Devastation.
To unite all peoples within our nation.
To denounce the evils of truth and love.
To extent our reach to the stars above.
Jessie.
James.
Team Rocket, blasts off at the speed of light!
Surrender now, or prepare to fight!


“Meowth, that’s right!” said Meowth, with a hissy voice that you’d expect a cat to have.
“Since we happened to be in the neighborhood, and because our twerps are here challenging the gym, the Boss sent us on a secret mission.” Said James.
“So, Giovanni didn’t change his mind about this nonsense?” asked the Professor mostly to himself. “I feel guilty for having done this, but I have no choice.” Professor Sashkatch took out a CD from his desk, and gave it to Jessie.
“Hah, that was easy!” said Jessie with a smile.
“Wooh! The boss might actually give us a promotion!” James said! “We’re gonna blast off to riches!” and the Trio ran off.
“Haha, idiots.” Said the Professor, after Jessie, James & Meowth left.
“What do you mean?” asked Brian.
“I gave them the wrong thing!” Professor Sashkatch explained. “Giovanni, the boss of Team Rocket, has just recently started experimenting with Pokemon cloning. Have you ever heard of “Mew”?”
“I think I heard about it in fairy tales.” Brian answered.
“It is a real Pokemon.” The Professor explained. “The first Pokemon cryptid to make it into the Pokedex.” The Professor brought it up on his computer screen. “A colleague of mine, Dr. Fuji, who specializes in Pokemon cloning, so much that he discovered how to make clones even powerful, was able to clone Mew. Giovanni funded the experiments, and the expedition to the southernmost continents where Mew was thought to have originated.”
“Was it a success?” Brian asked.
“Well, according to Dr. Fuji, the experiment was a failure, but he refused to explain what caused the explosion that destroyed the laboratory, and any trace of a supposed clone of Mew was nowhere to be found.” The Professor concluded.
“All this that you’ve told me.” Brian responded. “It’s a lot to comprehend.”
“My boy, its information you may need to know soon.” The Professor stated. “I fear something bad is upon us.”
“Well, I’ll be back for my revived Pokemon tomorrow.” Brian said, leaving. With Brian gone, Professor Sashkatch returned to his computer.
“It was a bad idea from the start. “Operation I.S.O.”, why does that fool want to do retry it?” the Professor asked to himself while bringing up a tall, purple cat-looking Pokemon onto his computer. “And, by himself?”

Chapter 25: I Can Dream about You


Note: What goes on from timecode 1:47 isn't in the story.

Adam, Jake & Ellen started to go through a nightlife area. The streets were filled with young adults doing things young adults do. The patrons were dressed in fluorescent colored clothing of many colors. Jake gave Ellen a jacket with a hood. “Put this on, it’d be better off without people recognizing you.” he said.
“We gotta take the monorail back to Saffron Strip.” Said Adam, pointing to the monorail track & station. The three made it past the crowd without causing an uproar of any kind, and entered the monorail station.
Adam remained standing with Jake and Ellen sitting down. “He’s not that social, is he?” Jake asked Ellen.
“Really? Nah, I think he’s a “real” sweetheart.” Ellen retorted.
“Cut him some slack, he was there for you tonight!” Jake said.
“Yeah, whatever. He only did it for selfish reasons.” Ellen said.
“No Ellen, I think you are the one being selfish.” Jake challenged. The monorail arrived, and the three were well on their way to Saffron Strip.
Ellen sat by herself, and Adam and Jake sat side by side, with Adam opposite Ellen. The monorail sped smoothly down the track, and the lights of the Saffron Strip were in view. “You know, nobody else had a grip on you than I did.” Adam said to Ellen. “I would have done anything for you.”
“Whatever, I don’t care anymore.” Ellen said.
“Neither do I, you made your choice, and it didn’t involve me. And I respected that.” Adam said. Ellen understood what Adam meant and started to keep to herself, with tears welling up in her eyes.
The monorail finally arrived at the Saffron Strip, and the three felt more relieved. The monorail doors opened, and the three walked out to a shocking surprise. The lead Hell’s Angel and his Posse were there to ambush them. Ellen screamed at the sight and Adam cradled her in comform, hoping to assure her she will be protected. “What the fuck do you want?” Adam asked.
The lead Hell’s Angel put out his cigarette and walked closer to Adam. “I had a feeling you were behind the rescue.” Said the Leader. “My old “arch-nemesis”.” He teased. He walked back to his posse. “Fortunately, it’s your lucky day. I’m willing to let the girl go.” The Leader offered. “But you and I, are to battle it out right here, right now.”
“You mean a Pokemon Battle?” Adam asked.
“Heh, I’ll show you guys a Pokemon Battle.” Jake said with a sly smile. “Go Scyther!” he said, releasing his Scyther.
“Pff, hah! Go Weez-“ The leader was interrupted as Scyther launched to him. “Yaaaaaah!” he screamed as Scyther slashed him up. Scyther then started attacking the posse, with each of them starting to run away before Scyther killed any of them. They carried the unconscious leader away with them.
“Return Scyther.” Jake said, recalling his Pokemon.
“Let’s go, we can make you back for your nighttime show.” Adam said, and the three of them walked out of the monorail station.

It was nighttime, and Adam & Jake had successfully returned Ellen to the Topolla Theater, where her manager was happy to see her returned. The manager attempted to give Adam a thank-you reward, but he declined. The crowds were roaring, happy to see that their pre-bought tickets would not be wasted, though this was going to be Ellen’s last show for awhile. Adam walked up to Ellen backstage as the pre-show was going on. “So I guess you’re just going to take off from here?” Ellen asked.
“Yeah, I guess so.” Adam said. “… But I hope you understand, for you to be happy, I cannot be in your life. With me training, and your singing, it just isn’t going to work out.”
“… I guess this is it then.” Ellen said, with teardrops going down her cheeks. “Will I ever see you again?”
Adam walked up to her and said, “Only if you wish…” Ellen looked into Adam’s eyes, and the two shared a goodbye kiss. Adam walked off the backstage, with Ellen looking on, as her old lover leaves her life.



Adam left the Topolla Theater with two bags in hand. Coming from behind him, Jake was driving the convertible they ditched, and stopped. “Hey Adam, how do you like my new wheels?” Jake said. “Found it the the middle of the street, somebody just dumped it. Finder’s Keeper’s, you know?”
Adam smirked and said. “So where you heading to now?”
“Fuschia. Feel like checking that place next. Need a ride?” Jake offered.
Adam opened the passenger side door and got in. “Sure. We gotta get ready for the big party, after all.”
“Sounds good to me.” Jake said, shifting into first and pulling off toward Fuschia City.

Chapter 24: Rescuing Ellen

Adam and Jake had been walking down the dangerous, dark roads of Saffron’s Suburbs for about two hours. Due to the abandoned buildings and dark areas, the two were able to go unseen. They knew where they were going due to finding a receipt for “Torchic’s Bad Guy Bar” in the motorbike’s sidecar. As they were walking together, Adam admitted that he and Ellen Aim used to be lovers. Jake was shocked to learn this, as he believed Adam was just around his age. It turns out that Adam was really 17 years old, but he didn’t look like it. Adam showed Jake a picture from his wallet, of him and a younger Ellen Aim sipping a malt drink together.
“Unfortunately, it wasn’t gonna work out.” Adam said. “She didn’t want to be a Pokemon Trainer, but I did. When she decided to be a singer, and left to pursue her dreams, I decided to break things off with her, and chose not to keep in contact.”
“I guess I can kind of see where you’re getting at.” Said Jake. “You never seemed to be the kind of guy to be a groupie.”
“All this is why I wasn’t so excited about hearing she was in town, but I decided to go to the show anyway.” Adam said. “We’re getting close to Torchic’s. Let’s take over this abandoned building.”
Adam & Jake entered the empty warehouse. As luck would have it, inside the warehouse was a getaway vehicle. “I can hotwire it, you can drive?” Adam asked.
“Sure.” Said Jake. “I’m ready for some action.”
“We may need our Pokemon, keep a couple ready.” Said Adam. “Make sure your weapon is fully loaded, now let’s go.” Adam hotwired the convertible, and Jake took over the drivers seat.
The streets of the district were dirty, dark, and inflamed. It didn’t look like a place you’d want to walk around alone, or without a weapon. Adam pointed to a dark alley, and Jake reversed into it, cutting off the car lights. A gang of Hell’s Angels drove past. “Let’s follow. Drive slowly, and keep your lights low.” Adam ordered. Jake drove just as Adam said, just around the corner, was Torchic’s.


Jake reversed into another alley, this time parking the car. “Think you can go in and create a diversion?” Adam asked.
“Hah, sure. I got it.” Said Jake, cocking his pistol. “Let’s go Pikablu and Porygon!” Jake released Pikablu & Porygon from their Pokeball’s. “I want you guys to wait in the back of the car, when Adam and I return and speed off, cover for us!”
“Pika-bluuu!” said Pikablu, brandishing two pistols in each hand.
“Porygon, Porygon!” said Porygon.
“What about you?” Jake asked Adam.
“I’ll take care of rescuing the girl, all you worry about is distracting the Hell’s Angels.” Adam said. “Ready?”
“… Gotcha.” Said Jake, putting on a jacket as a disguise and walking off to the bar.
Inside Torchic’s, a band was playing music and a transsexual dancer was entertaining the thugs. Jake looked around, the bar seemed to be built inside a warehouse, with offices built on the second and third floor. He took a better look at the second floor, and noticed a familiar face walking into an office with his posse. “’Ey Buddy, don’t think I’ve ever seen you ‘round here before.” Said a gruff ruffian who came up to Jake.
“Maybe that’s because I aint never been ‘round here.” Jake responded, attempting to imitate the ruffian’s tone of voice.
“You look like a Pokemon trainer, lets have a battle, but upstairs, don’t wanna ruin everyone’s good time.” The ruffian said.
“Fine by me.” Jake said.
“You win, you can stay. I win, I throw your ass out. Deal?” the ruffian offered.
“You got it!” Jake agreed. The ruffian led Jake up to a room in the second floor; Jake took a quick look at the door, which he saw the lead Hell’s Angel go into.
Meanwhile, Adam was sitting on a fire escape adjacent to the second floor, waiting for a chance to break in without causing a scene.
The ruffian and Jake were in the room ready for a Pokemon battle. “How about a one-on-one?” asked the ruffian. “Let’s make this interesting.”
“You got it… Let’s go, Scyther!” Jake released his Scyther from the Pokeball. As soon as the Pokeball energy formed into the Mantis, with an angry look, Scyther charged and attacked the ruffian very violently.
“YAAAAAGH!” screamed the ruffian, as Scyther slashed, hacked and sliced about. When Scyther’s bloodlust was finished, the ruffian laid on the floor bleeding mercilessly.
“Guess I win!” said Jake, recalling his Scyther before it went rampaging. Jake searched the body of the ruffian, and took his gun and ammo. Jake went out of the room and back on the veranda of the second floor. He walked up to the door to the fire escape where Adam hid and let him in. “I know where the boss is, I’ll take care of him.” Jake said.
“Good work dude.” Adam said. “I’ll search for Ellen. I left my Charizard on the roof so we could quickly escape back to the car. Meet me up there.” Jake walked up to the door where he saw the lead Hell’s Angel and his posse go into, checked his gun to make sure there was enough ammo, and Adam went to the third floor where he believed they were keeping Ellen.
Ready to take on the enemies, Jake kicked open the door to see the Hell’s Angels Posse playing poker. “Surprise!” Jake said. The lead Hell’s Angel put down his cigar, licked his lips, and chuckled. Meanwhile, Adam kicked open the door to Ellen’s cell, and cut the ropes tieing her to the bed, releasing her.
“Adam?!” Ellen said, surprised to see her ex-boyfriend there to her rescue.
“There’s no time to chat, we gotta get out of here!” Adam said, grabbing Ellen’s arm and escorting her out of her cell. Back downstairs; Jake was continuing to distract the Hell’s Angels Posse.
“Go ahead, slimeball, take the loot!” said the lead Hell’s Angel’s second in command.
“I don’t think he’s here for the loot…” said the lead Hell’s Angel, and an explosion erupted outside.
“Guys, it’s been grand!” said Jake, and he left the office room, leaving the Hell’s Angel’s Posse at their card game. Jake ran back to the fire escape and waiting for Adam & Ellen. In no time, Adam & Ellen arrived at the fire escape. “Were there explosions?” Adam asked Jake.
“Yeah, I don’t remember planning that.” Jake answered.
“Dammit, Blaze!” said Adam. Adam, Jake & Ellen climbed the fire escape to the top of the warehouse and saw that Adam’s Charizard, Blaze, was flaming everything in sight. “Blaze! I didn’t tell you to flame everything up!” Adam chastised his Charizard. “Now stop it and carry us down to the ground!”
“Char!” said Blaze, and the three of them got onto it’s back and flew down to the street.
“Porygon! Start the car!” ordered Jake from the sky, and Porygon got under the driver’s seat and successfully hotwired the car.
“Quick, we gotta get out of here! Return Blaze!” said Adam, recalling his Charizard. Jake got into the drivers seat of the convertible, Adam on the front passenger’s side, and Ellen into the back. “Stay down Ellen, they’re going to shoot us. We got our Pokemon covering us.” Adam said, pointing to Pikablu & Porygon.
“Alright, lets go!” said Jake, shifting into first, then quickly into second gear. Behind them, just as Adam predicted, three bikers started to follow, upset at the fire caused by the Charizard. Porygon shot at them with Psybeam, and Pikablu fired its glocks, all three of the biker’s were knocked off their bikes.
“Speed up, Jake, we might be able to lose them!” Adam commanded. Jake shifted into fourth gear and sped down the streets of Saffron’s suburbs.
Within five minutes, the three had successfully escaped the dangerous district, and seemed to be on the way back to Saffron Strip. “Well Adam, look’s like we got it made, just ride down this street for a few miles and we’re home & dry.” Jake hastily decided.
“I got some bad news, man, it’s not that simple, we gotta ditch the car.” Adam responded.
“What?” said Ellen. “Why?”
“They’ll be dialing 911 on us, my Charizard’s gone and caused trouble…” Adam answered. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep you protected.” Adam assured Ellen.
“Well I hope you know what you’re doing.” Jake said, pulling into an underground parking garage. Jake parked and shut off the car. With Adam leading, Jake & Ellen followed to an elevator.
“Adam, take the stairs with me.” Ellen requested. Adam decided to be fair and go, leaving Jake to take the elevator.
Adam and Ellen climbed up half of the way. “So what do you want to talk about?” Adam asked.
“I just got a lot to say to you, Adam.” Ellen responded.
“No you don’t you got nothing to say!” said Adam.
“What was I supposed to do? I was getting a lot of work.” Ellen said.
“So bye-bye Adam, then?” said Adam more angrily.
“You’re the one who stopped talking before I took off.” Ellen responded.
“Look, forget all that, its history.” Adam said. “I wasn’t even planning on going to your concert but I did because I wanted to see how you were doing.”
“Then why did you come to rescue me?” Ellen asked.
“Because you’re obviously happy with your life. I didn’t want you to lose it.” Adam said, and walked further upstairs, leaving Ellen to go for herself.
“Got everything sorted out?” asked Jake, as Adam & Ellen reached the top. Ellen walked to be by Jake.
“Yeah.” Ellen said. “Let’s go, I wanna go home.”
“You got it.” Adam said, and the three walked out of the parking garage.

Chapter 23: A Rock n Roll Pokemon Adventure

Authors Note: Videos posted this chapter are not part of the story, the music of each video is.



Churly_Thriller presents:

A Rock n Roll Pokemon Adventure

Tom Cody - Played by Adam & his Pokemon

McCoy - Played by Jake & his Pokemon

Ellen Aim - Played by Diane Lane

Lead Hell's Angel - Played by Willem DaFoe

“Okay, hang on tight!” said Adam, as he ignited the motorcycle and quickly took off.
“Take a left and pull a 360, and just wait. We’ll cut em off!” said Jake, pointing to the upcoming intersection. Sure enough, the bikers flew past their vision, one holding captive of Ellen Aim. Adam took off and followed. “Okay Porygon, when I shake you up once, use Ice Beam!” Jake commanded to his Porygon, being held in the right arm.
“Pory, Pory!” Porygon agreed. In his left hand, Jake brandished a sub-machine gun he found in the sidecar.



Adam and Jake got closer to the gang of bikers, riding on the back of three motorbikes, were Mankey’s dressed in leather jackets, each holding their own sub-machine guns. Jake started shooting at the Mankey’s with his gun, not successfully landing a hit. He shot out an Ice Beam with Porygon, which hit one of the Mankey’s, causing it to fall off the bike.
“Go Beedrill!” said Jake, releasing his Beedrill into the chase. Beedrill shot out to the other two motorcycle riding Mankey’s, knocking both Mankey and human driver off of one. The lone Mankey and Rider attempted to lose them, but Adam caught up and started driving parallel. Jake fired his gun, and hit the engine, igniting the motorbike into flames. “WOO-HOO!” said Jake. Adam revved the engine and caught up closer to the kidnappers.
“Lets go Squigglystuff!” said Adam, releasing his Jigglypuff. Jake grabbed the Balloon Pokemon, tied it up with a rope, and swung it to the bikers. Squigglystuff brandished a switchblade while airborne, and stabbed a biker’s back, causing him to scream and fall off. Finally, Adam & Jake caught up with the head kidnapper. “It IS you!” said Adam, finally recognizing the kidnapper as the lead Hell’s Angel from his incident in Saffron Tunnels; only he had shaved his facial hair.
“Let’s go Koffing!” said the Leader, releasing the poison bag Pokemon. “Smog, and Selfdestruct!”
“Koffiiiiiiiing.” Said Koffing in its raspy tone.
“Oh shit! A smog attack! Brace yourself!” shouted Adam, and Jake braced onto Porygon & Squigglystuff. Adam hit the motorcycle brakes and took a very quick right turn, evading the explosion, but blowing the motorbikes tires.
“Everyone all right?” asked Jake.
“Pory, Pory.” Said Porygon.
“Jigglypuff!” said Squigglystuff.
“Yeah, sure.” Said Adam. “I had a feeling that Selfdestruct was coming as soon as I saw his Koffing.” Adam attempted to ride away, but then noticed the tires were destroyed. “Shit!” responded Adam. “Let me have that gun.” Adam said to Jake. Jake handed him the Sub-Machine gun he had found in the sidecar.
“What are you thinking?” Jake asked, not knowing what else to say.
“Here.” Adam gave Jake back the Sub-Machine gun, loading it fully, and giving out a few more magazines. “We’re going to go after them, and rescue Ellen Aim!” Adam took from the back of his coat a large rifle.

Chapter 22: Say a Prayer in the Darkness for the Magic to come.

Authors Note: For the next few chapters, unless otherwise noted, videos posted are apart of the story.


It was a Friday night, the streets of Saffron City were filled with young men & women primped up as they do when people go out for the night. In a tall hotel right on the Saffron Strip, Jake was in the bathroom preparing himself for the night. Earlier that day, he won a ticket to see a concert in a raffle. The concert was for a show by “Ellen Aim and the Attackers,” an 80s-style band. The concert was to be performed at the “Toppola Theater of Saffron”, known for it’s wide open space, flashing neon light sculptures, and the awesome raves put on. It was only 7:00PM, and the concert wasn’t until 10:00PM, so after leaving his hotel room, Jake went out to explore the strip. He entered a small nightclub within the strip. The music inside the nightclub was so rockin he just couldn’t help but fist-pump, cheer and sing along.



“WOOH! Fuck yes!” said Jake, as the singer concluded.
“Well what do you know!?” said a familiar voice to Jake. “How you doing, man?” it was Adam!
“Heeeey bro! Awesome show wasn’t it?” Jake asked. The two of them left the club together and started walking down the strip.
“Dude, you gotta love Rock n Roll in the Pokemon World!” Adam responded.
“I’m going to a show tonight, Ellen Aim!” Jake said.
“Huh, enjoy yourself.” Said Adam, his tone turning passive.
“What’s wrong?” Jake asked.
“Oh, nothing important.” Adam answered, “How much you think a ticket would cost?” he asked.
“About $40.” Jake responded. “You’re gonna go?”
“Sure, why not?” said Adam.
The strip was filled with a lot of night animals, a lot of them dressed in bright neon clothes, and a lot of females wore glittery makeup and had one-sided ponytails.
“So you’ve gotten your Rainbow Badge?” asked Jake to Adam.
“Yeah.” Adam answered. “I had trouble in the Gym Battle because my Charizard was disobedient, but I won, and now it’s obeying.”
“That’s nice to hear, Charizard’s are pretty awesome Pokemon.” Jake said.
“By the way, have you gotten a letter like this?” Adam showed Jake the letter he got from the Carrier Pidgey. Jake read through the letter.
“No, I haven’t. This sounds pretty cool! I hope I get an invitation.” Jake said.
“It seems to me the host is inviting a lot of trainers for a big tournament.” Adam said. “I’m sure you’ll get your invitation.”
“Come, it’s almost 10:00PM!” Jake said, rushing off with Adam following.
Jake and Adam arrived at the Topolla Theater in time for Ellen Aim. “Oh man, this is going to be greeeaaaaaattttt!” said an excited Jake.
“I hope this’ll be worth it!” said Adam, a little less excited. Suddenly the crowd started clapping in unison and rhythm.
“Alright everyone, it is time!” said an announcer, and a Machop took hold of the drums and two Male Wigglytuff holding electric guitars and dressed in blue suits walked up to the mics. “Wigg… Tuff… ONE TWO THREE!” the Wigglytuff’s shouted, and the Machop started banging his drums and the pianist started playing. The crowd cheered like crazy.



“YEAH! ALRIGTH!” Jake said, cheering and whistling. Adam seemed to also be enjoying himself. Just then, a ruckus appeared on the stage, and several men had attacked the Wigglytuffs, and started harassing Ellen.
“Hey, what is this?” asked Adam. Adam took a close look at the one attacking Ellen. Something seemed familiar about him. People were grabbing at Pokeball’s hoping their Pokemon would be able to help, but the stage room was too crowded and outraged for anyone to manage to do it.
“Let’s get out of here.” Said Jake grabbing Adam’s arm. “I have an idea.” Jake and Adam ran out to the front of the theater. “There!” said Jake, pointing at a group of motorcycles.
“So what’s your plan?” asked Adam, as he and Jake ran to the bikes.
“It’s set up for them to quickly escape, so they’ll have the keys in the ignition.” Jake said. “You know how to drive?”
“Sure, but what are you going to do?” Adam asked. Jake hopped into a sidecar, choosing which bike to steal.
“My Porygon knows Ice Beam, it’ll help us stop them. Go PORYGON!” said Jake, releasing his Porygon and holding it to his front as if it were a weapon.
Adam sat on the motorbike and put on a helmet. “Then let’s save Ellen Aim!” he said.

To Be Continued.

Chapter 21: The Yahoe & the Nuts

Matthew was exploring the areas north of Mt. Moon. About a week ago, he received a mysterious invitation to a party on an Island named “New.” By a host claiming to be the most powerful Pokemon trainer in the world. The party wasn’t for another two weeks, though, and Matthew decided to take a trip to see what was beyond the charted regions of Kanto. He was in a forest, it appeared to be inhabited by Pokemon, but there were none about. There didn’t seem to be any signs of civilization anywhere nearby. Matthew traveled up north a few more kilometers when he came across what appeared to be a green bird sitting on a branch. It’s yellow eyes making contact with Matthew’s, freezing Matthew in his place staring back. “What… are you?” Matthew asked to the bird.
“Yahoe!” said the creature, with a mouth hidden under its green beak.
“Are you a… Pokemon?” Matthew asked, taking out his Pokedex and aiming it to the creature.
“*Bing* No Data.” Said the Pokedex’s robotic voice.
“What?” Matthew said, perplexed.
“Yahoe… Yahoe…” said the creature.
“Yei-hhyo?” Matthew asked.
“Yahoe.” The bird said with a nod. It then jumped up and fluttered in the air with its small wings. Suddenly, it started powdering out speckles of sparkly dust. Something about the powder made Matthew drowsy, and he fell asleep.

Matthew heard the sound of a flowing river, and he woke up to find himself in a valley. In front of him, was a building. The building looked like it may be a hospital. “Come in, come in!” a echoey voice said, and Matthew saw he was being pulled in by a conveyor belt he happened to be standing on.
“Hey, wait!” Matthew said. “I’m not going in!” suddenly, I whistle blew.
“Yabba, Yebba YAho HEY-ey!” said three triplet humans who appeared at the door, and grabbed Matthew and forced him inside. It was dark and crazy inside, he could hear the screams of mental patients as the triplets carried him against his will. They escorted him to what appeared to be a throne room. On the throne was a figure.
“Yaaaahahahaha. Welcome to my Mental Institution.” Said the figure on the throne with a voice reminiscient of “Him” from the Powerpuff Girls. “My name’s Psycho, “The Psycho” if you may. I wanted you to come in and play, so I asked my triplets to bring you in.
“Yabba, Yebba YAho HEY-ey!” said the Triplets.
“You’re forcing me to stay in here! Why?” Matthew asked.
“BECAUSE I CAN! Muaaahaaamomoblublub” The Psycho said, as he turned his arms into black tentacles and gave himself the face of a chicken. He then transformed into a Scyther with fuzzy wings and bunny ears. “I have a Psychic Ability of 100! I can transform into anything!”
“I’m getting out of here.” Matthew said, not being able to handle the nonsense. Just then, he heard a whistle blow.
“Yabba, Yebba YAho HEY-ey!” said the Triplets, who grabbed Matthew’s arm and threw him into a rack.
“WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?” screamed Matthew.
“No reason!” said the Psycho.
As the Triplets rotated the rack wheel pulling Matthew’s arms and legs, the room evaporated and transformed into a hallway, with the Psycho and the Triplets nowhere to be found. “Great, maybe now I can get out of here.” Matthew said, he went to his belt and grabbed one of his Pokeball’s. “Let’s go, Nidoking!” said Matthew, releasing his Nidoking.
“Ni-do!” said Nidoking in a gruff voice.
“Nidoking, if you see those three triplets, attack them, we cannot let them force me to do their stupidness. Just then, a whistle blew.
“Yabba, Yebba YAho HEY-ey!” the Triplets showed up, ready to take Matthew again.
“Ice Beam Nidoking!” Matthew ordered. Nidoking shot a blue beam of ice from his mouth, freezing the Triplets. Matthew turned around getting ready to run, when he saw the Psycho was in front of him.
“Yaahaa! Yaahaa!” said the Psycho, then he hammered his head with a mallet three times emitting “cuckoo” noises each time.
“Nidoking, Mega Punch!” Matthew commanded.
“Nidoooooo!” Nidoking charged forward with its fist, and its Mega Punch went right through the Psycho’s body.
“What?” Matthew said, astounded.
“I told youuuuuu! I have a Psychic Ability of 100! I can do anything, transform my body into anything, any shape, and even Pokemon hybrids!” The Psycho turned himself into a three headed Charizard with the gloves of a Hitmonchan and the legs of a Hitmonlee, with the wings of Articuno for good measure.
“You crazy freak!” Matthew said, and he ran off with the Psycho distracted with its silly transformations. Just then, a whistle blew.
“Oh no!” Matthew said, knowing what was coming.
“Yabba, Yebba YAho HEY-ey!” the Triplets were back.
“Leave me alone!” Matthew demanded, punching the Triplet’s in the head. Matthew then ran off to a different room. This room contained vats of orange acid. Matthew walked down the catwalk to the other side. As he was doing so, a shape emerged from the acid. It was presumably the Psycho, with that “100 Psychic Ability” probably keeping his skin from getting burned.
“Blublahbleghblah!” said the Psycho, acting like a gloppy idiot. A whistle blew.
“Yabba, Yebba YAho HEY-ey!” The Triplets appeared on the catwalk.
“Get the fuck away!” said Matthew, grabbing the Triplets and throwing them into the acid. Matthew made it to the other side, and opened the door. He walked into the hallway, and it looked familiar. “Did I just loop the building?” he asked himself, thinking that was plausible. Suddenly, he noticed a piece of artwork on one of the walls, the subject of the art looking familiar.


“Yahoe! Yahoe! Get me out of here!” Matthew said, knocking on the painting probably expecting the door to Yahoe’s nest behind it. “You forced me into this place, and they’re forcing me to stay! Help!” And a whistle blew.
“Yabba, Yebba YAho HEY-ey!” said the Triplets, with the Psycho in their presence.
“Ah-huhuhu. You think the Yahoe will save you now? The Yahoe is what brought you here.” Said the Psycho. “Hahaha! But! I better free you, after all, you’re apart of the orchestration.”
“What are you talking about? What do you mean orchestration?” Matthew asked. “Besides, you think by this point I’ll take you seriously?”
“Ah-huhuhuhuh-huuuuuuhh… Well, nahhhhhh.” Said the Psycho. “But I still better warn you, a hooded figure will emerge from the shadows, and he will reveal himself when his evil intentions are layed out. The party will be Step 1 in the “orchestration.”.”
“What do you mean “orchestration?” The Party is “Step 1”?” Matthew asked.
“HaHAAH HaHAAAH!” said the Psycho, and he whirled away, with the Triplets following.
“Yabba, Yebba YAho HEY-ey!” said the Triplets, waving Matthew goodbye.
“Wait! How do I get out!” Matthew shouted. “ARGH!” he screamed angrily, the last hour of his life not making any sense.
“Yahoe! Yahoe!” said a familiar cry.
“Yes, about time, get me out of here, Yahoe!” Matthew said, but Yahoe did not appear.
“Yei… Yahoe!” said Yahoe slyly, apparently invisible.
“I said GET ME OUT OF HERE!” Matthew shouted, then he felt a sharp pain in his nose. He woke up inside the forest where Yahoe attacked him with the Magic Dust, everything that happened was a dream.
“Yahoe! Yahoe!” said Yahoe, happy to see Matthew awake.
“I think I’m gonna go back to Kanto.” Matthew said. “Goodbye.” Matthew walked off, leaving Yahoe. Yahoe watched as Matthew walked off, then smirked with its mouth, started flapping its wings, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

“Yahoe-yahoe-yahoe…” Yahoe’s voice echoed.

Summary of Past Events

Hi guys, some of you know me as "Thriller", some as "Churly", whoever you know me as, you may see me as 'awkward'. Well, I like being awkward! If you knew me in real life, you'd know its just my character, but I'm not here to talk about that.

Chapter 20: Trek in the Power Plant

Jason was exploring the Kanto Power Plant, his travelling partner Andy mysteriously absent. Without anyone with him to keep company, Jason’s facial expression had turned more blank & serious. “According to the notes I stole from the Rocket Casino, this Power Plant should have what I’m looking for.” Jason said to himself. He walked into a dilapidated office, and discovered a trunk. He took out a key ring, with a key on it, and used it to unlock the trunk. Inside the trunk was 100 Max Revive Bottles. Jason took the trunk, and crammed it into his sack. He then heard a strange feedback-sounding presence. He turned around and saw what appeared to be a mechanical Pikachu.
“Mechachu!” said the machine, apparently a Pokemon named “Mechachu.”
“A never before seen Pokemon.” Said Jason. “Those are always nice to catch. Go, Scyther!” A Scyther was released from the Pokeball thrown by Jason.
“Scyther! Attack with Slash!” commanded Jason. Scyther flew up, and with its razor sharp forearms, slashed the mechanical body of the Pokemon, revealing it’s grotesque exoskeleton. “Ultra Ball, GO!” said Jason, throwing an Ultra Ball. He successfully captured the Mechachu. After picking up the Ultra Ball, Jason placed it in his coat pocket with a smug smile.

After exploring the abandoned Power Plant for another 30 minutes, Jason spotted a yellow glow from down the hallway. He made it to the corner of the hall and peered out into the room with the glow.
“Perfect, I’ve found it!” said Jason with a wicked smile and look in his eyes.

Chapter 19: The Recent Adventures of Jake

Pre-Chapter: Situation at Bill's Lighthouse


“Hello, Mr. Bill?” asked the courier, looking around the sea cottage adjacent to Cerulean Cape Lighthouse. While walking around the house, the courier was shown to be Andy, who had apparently started a job as a courier. “Mr. Bill? I have an important package from a “Mr. Giovanni”.” Andy said, but there was still no response. Andy returned to the front door, and noticed a note attached to it.

“I have gone away for a bit, to research a mystery near Mt. Moon. I expect to be back in 2 months.

Signed,
Bill.”

Andy shook the doorknob, and found the door to be unlocked. He opened the door and went in. “I guess there won’t be any trouble if I go in just to drop off this package.” Said Andy, to himself. Inside, there was a desk, with several papers and paperweights on top. There was a Computer with a picture of an Eevee as a Desktop Wallpaper. In the back of the room, there was a strange machine with two doors on each side. Andy walked towards the strange machine. “Hmmm, I wonder what Bill does with this?” Andy asked himself. Behind him, a shadowed figure creeps slowly behind. With an empty beer bottle in hand, the figure smacks Andy’s head, breaking the glass, and causing Andy to fall to the ground, unconscious. Andy lay there stationary, and the figure grabs one of the six Pokeball’s in Andy’s belt.

Chapter 19: The Recent Adventures of Jake

A week has passed since the incident at Rocket Casino. Since it was viewed as a public nuisance, the terrorist attack was forgiven, as there were no known casualties. Jake decided to rest up for the next seven days at the Hostel in Celadon. He discovered a lot of great uses for his new Virtual Pokemon, Porygon. He decided to purchase an Ice Beam TM from the Celadon Department Store and taught it to Porygon, deciding to specialize it with “Beams.” While playing with it plugged into a computer, Porygon warped him to Lavender Town!
“WOW!” Jake said, dumbfounded. “Porygon, you can teleport me anywhere in Kanto?”
“Pory! Porygon!” said Porygon’s robotic voice, agreeing with Jake.
“Well this is cool!” said Jake. “I’m gonna visit the towns I skipped, and do something at them!” Jake said, deciding to waste time doing likely useless stuff.
Jake explored Lavender Town. The spooky Pokemon Tower was surely a sight to be seen. He thought he could make out a lone pair of a Gastly & Gengar in a window, likely brothers. “All they need is a Haunter and they’ll be a whole family.” Said Jake. He noticed there was a radio station just at the foot of the hill to the tower. He went back into uptown, and checked out Mr. Fuji’s Pokemon Shelter. Inside was Mr. Fuji, a Nidorina, a Clefairy, and a Psyduck. Jake bent down to the Psyduck and hugged it. “You poor Psyduck..” said Jake.
“…Psy??” said the confused Psyduck. Jake then left and went to the Pokemon Center.
“Go, Porygon!” said Jake, releasing his Porygon. He plugged Porygon into the PC USB. “Travel to Vermillion City Porygon!” Jake commanded.
“Porygon, Porygon.” Said Porygon. Within a total of two minutes, Jake travelled on Porygon to Vermillion City.
“LET’S GO!” said an excited Jake. He ran out and straight to the harbor. “Go Pikablu!” said Jake, releasing his magical blue Pikachu with Marill ears..
“Pika-Blu!” said Pikablu.
“Okay Pikablu, lets fish! Use Thunderbolt on the water!” Jake commanded.
“Wait kid! Don’t do that!” said a construction worker.
“Pika-bluuuuuuuuuuuu!” Pikablu said, as it fired an electrical bolt of lightning into the harbor.
“Oh crap, you moron!” said the construction worker. “There was a Gyarados rampage about a week ago.”
“Gyarados rampage?” asked Jake. Suddenly, the skies went dark, and six angry Gyarados’s rose from the harbor. All of them lunge towards Pikablu. “Pikablu!!!!” said Jake, and he rushed in, and grabbed Pikablu, and ran as fast as he can, away from the Gyarados that can’t follow him on land. Giving up, the six Gyarados returned to the sea. “That was a close one, right Pikablu?” Jake asked. He looked down, and Pikablu was having a heart attack, and fell unconscious. “OH NO! PIKABLU!” Jake screamed, and rushed Pikablu to the Pokemon Hospital.
“Clear!” the doctors shocked Pikablu’s chest. “Clear!” the doctors did it again. “Clear!” three times the charm, and Pikablu was revived.
Pikablu was back to normal in no time, seeming to be unfazed emotionally at what had just happened. Jake decided to walk up to Saffron City, having not taking that Route before. After hiking up the hills, he fell into a hole that was barely covered up by grass.
“Ooomppfff!” said Jake, as he landed at the bottom of the hole, and seemed to be in a secret laboratory. He got on his feet, and explored the secret, dark complex; it was exactly what you think a secret laboratory would look like. Purple and Blue LED lights lit the high-end equipment. Around the corner, a figure caught Jake’s eye. It looked like it was his archrival, Alex! But it appeared he has died his hair brown. He was experimenting with what appeared to be a metal-plated Golduck in a specimen tube. With his quick reflexes, Alex spotted Jake snooping around. “Aahh!” Jake screamed, and ran off, but slipped in the smooth floor. “Please! I didn’t mean to discover you!” Jake pleaded.
“Hey, chill. I’m not going to hurt you.” Said Alex.
“Huh?” said a relieved Jake. Alex held out his hand to pick Jake up.
“Come, let me show you something.” Alex said, Jake grabbed his hand and was picked up. Alex escorted Jake to a different room, walking past the metal Golduck.
“Uh… Alex?” Jake said, deciding to ignore the different hair color.
“Hmm?” Alex responded.
“What were you doing with that Golduck?” Jake asked.
“I can’t tell you much, but I’m experimenting with grafting with Pokemon.” Alex answered.
“What? Why?” asked an intrigued Jake.
“I can’t say now.” Responded Alex, and looked away. Alex led Jake into a small office room, and pointed to the chair in front of the desk. “Jake, I’m afraid not everything is all “happy-place” in the Pokemon World anymore.” Alex explained. “The balance between “Good & Evil” is falling out of place, and the bad news is, there will eventually be a war between the two.”
“Is there something we can do to prevent it?” asked Jake.
“Well, to answer that,” Alex responded. “No one can really ‘predict’ the future, but we can be ‘warned.’ It’s up to us to determine our future.”
“Good advice.” Agreed Jake.
“Take this.” Alex handed a vial of clear liquid to Jake. On its label read “KO-35.” Jake took the vial. “I want you to hold onto this, you’ll know when to use it.”
“Right.” Said Jake, and he stood up and walked out the door, appearing in a Vermillion City Burger King.

Chapter 18: All Bikers are Hell's Angels

Adam had left Lavender Town and was headed towards Celadon City. Like most other trainers, he decided to take the shortcut through the underground Saffron Tunnels. The tunnel between Lavender Town & Celadon City was very straightforward, but at the end, Adam was met with a nasty surprise.
“Well, well, well. What have we here?” asked a Hell’s Angel to his fellow bikers.
“It’s a Pokemon Trainer isn’t it?” asked another Hell’s Angel.
“Those Pokemon Trainers, they try to make us guilty for our actions, for the “good” of the Pokemon!” said a bald Biker.
“Uh, hey guys, I don’t want any trouble.” Assured Adam
“But we’re still going to give it to you!” said the first Hell’s Angel. The Biker’s revved up their motorcycles and charged towards Adam, trying to run him over.
“Go! Squigglystuff!” said Adam, releasing his Jigglypuff.
“Jiggly!” said Squigglystuff.
“Sing, Squigglystuff!” commanded Adam. Squigglystuff sung its lullaby, putting some of the Hell’s Angels to sleep, and falling off their bikes. Four bikers were circling Adam on their motorbikes.
“Go Sparky!” said Adam, releasing his Pikachu.
“Piii-ka!” said Sparky.
“Thunderbolt now!” Adam commanded. Sparky shocked the four Hell’s Angels to a crisp…
“Supersonic now Batty!” Adam’s Zubat screeched a Supersonic Noise, making some Hell’s Angels retreat. There were now five Bikers left. Little did Adam notice, while he was battling away at the other Hell’s Angels, the remaining five doused the tunnel with Gasoline. “Alright, Go, Blaze!” said Adam, releasing his Charmeleon. Formerly named “Flarey,” Adam changed its nickname after the Name Rater of Lavender suggested “Flarey” was too feminine, and Charmeleon was definitely a boy.
“Ah, a Fire-Type, just what we were hoping for.” Said the lead Hell’s Angel. “Go Koffing!” The Hell’s Angel released a Koffing.
“Blaze, Slash Attack!”
“Me-leon!” Blaze said, as it jumped up and Slashed at the Koffing.
“Now use Self Destruct!” commanded the Hell’s Angel.
“Koff-…” The Koffing exploded! The tunnel was set ablaze in the explosion. Several lines of fire divided Adam, Blaze, and the Bikers.
“Hope you enjoy getting burned!” retorted the Hell’s Angels, who got on their bikes and left.
“Oh no, this is bad!” Said Adam, stating the obvious. “I knew I should have got a Water Pokemon when I had the chance.” Blaze was standing around the inferno, not sure what to do. “Blaze, hang in there! I’ll think of something!” said Adam.
Just then, Blaze started to shine white, and within a few seconds, its body got bigger, it’s head changed shape, and it grew wings on it’s back. Blaze had evolved into Charizard!
“… Alright! You’ve evolved into a Charizard, Blaze!” said an excited Adam. Blaze flapped his wings, put out the fires in front of Adam, and started to fly. “Wait up, Blaze! Let me catch on!” Blaze then shot a Flamethrower attack on Adam, burning him. “… Wait… up.” Said a Crisped Adam. Blaze continued to fly near the ceiling of the tunnel. “Blaze! Get down here and help!” commanded Adam, Blaze continued to disobey, deciding to fly towards the exit. Frustrated, Adam chased Blaze amidst the fiery inferno he was in, for the only way out was to catch a ride on his apparently disobedient Charizard. Adam jumped, and successfully grabbed Blaze’s leg, and the Charizard flew the both of them out of the Tunnel, Saffron City Fire Department already on site to put out the fires. Blaze then kicked Adam off it’s leg and he fell on the ground. “Blaze, return!” said Adam, recalling his first Pokemon. “I guess with only three badges, you’re going to be disobedient.” Said Adam, noticing he’s gotten pretty cocky. The distance between Saffron Tunnels and Celadon City was very small, and within only 20 minutes, Adam had made it to Celadon City. On the short way, however, he was greeted by a Carrier Pidgey, who had a letter addressed to him.

The Letter Read,

Dear Trainer,

A Friend.

Chapter 17: The Coming of Two Captures

Marble was riding on his Gyarados over the sea. They were just about 4 miles south of the Kanto Power Plant, adjacent to the Rock Tunnel. Dratini was out of its Pokeball leading Marble. “This was a few months ago.” Said Marble to himself and Dratini. “I hope the tides haven’t eroded many clues to the disappearance of your family.”
“Tiiii-ni.” Said Dratini. Dratini swam swiftly to the right. “Ti-ni, Dratini!” said Dratini. Gyarados turned on Dratini’s command. Dratini led them to what appeared to be a cave, the tide was high and you’d need to swim through it to get it. “Dratini, Dratini!” Dratini said with esteem. Marble jumped off Gyarados and swam into the cave, meeting Dratini on the other side.
“So this is where you lived Dratini.” Marble said. “And whoever kidnapped your family had found the cave and kidnapped them from here!”
“Tiiiiiii…” Dratini said solemnly.

Jake lay unconscious, his face covered in soot and rubble over his body, but not crushing it. He appeared to be in the basement of the Team Rocket Casino at Celadon City. Slowly, he was able to regain consciousness. He couldn’t remember much of what happened before the explosion and had no idea what caused it. “Oh, man. I gotta find a way out of here.” Jake said.
Jake climbed out of all the rubble and explored what was left of the basement. Suddenly, Jake’s eyes spotted something on the ground. It was a small CD. Jake picked the CD up, it had a small hairline scratch on it, but looked like it could be readable. “I wonder what kind of secrets are in here!” Jake said. He took out his Pokedex, and noticed it had a disk drive in it. “Let me put this CD in the Pokedex.” Jake said. He put the CD into the Pokedex.
The Pokedex read the CD. “Bzzzt Bzzzzt! Searching… Pokemon Data found. *Bing* Porygon: The Virtual Pokemon. Porygon was created artificially by Silph Co. It is very rare and treasured among trainers.”
Suddenly, the Pokedex started to shake slightly, and after a few seconds, a beam of energy shot out, revealing into a Porygon!
“What? It’s a Porygon!” Jake said excitedly.
“Porygon. Porygon.” Said Porygon.
“I’ve… captured you?” asked Jake.
“Pory!” said Porygon.
“All-right! Pokeball go!” Jake said, throwing the Pokeball and capturing Porygon!
Jake continued exploring the basement, thinking he was coming close to the exit. His eyes caught a lone active Pokeball on the ground. He picked it up and released it. Inside the Pokeball was a Scyther!
“SCYTHERRR!” said the Scyther angrily. Suddenly, Scyther shot towards Jake.
“WAAAAH!” screamed Jake. “Scyther return!” Jake successfully recalled Scyther. “Well, seems I also caught a Scyther…” Jake said. “But I guess it’s kinda angry. These poor Pokemon were raised by Team Rocket. But this Porygon does seem to be tame, and I get the feeling it’s going to be a great resource!”
“Hahahah…” said a stranger. It was a hooded man.
“Do I know you?” asked Jake.
“You might.” He said. “Then again, you might not.”
“I see.” Jake said.
“In one more level, I’ll have a Rapidash.” Said the hooded character.
“Really? What have you been doing lately?” Jake asked.
“None of your Business…” The mystery person said. “I’m watching all of you. I know you all. Big things are coming.” In the blink of an eye, the shadowed hooded figure vanished.
“Okay, now I’m creeped out.” Said Jake. Then, daylight poured into the room. “AUUUGH! Oh!” screamed Jake. The sunlight basking on his face felt good. He climbed out of the rubble, very happy to have survived the collapse of the Rocket Casino.

Chapter 16: I.S.O.

Jake and Matthew were still on the third floor of the Five-Story Rocket Casino, the lights were still off and Jake started to get really thirsty, but didn’t tell Matthew. Jake then heard a familiar hum, they came across a water fountain.
“Hey, wait a sec.” Jake said rather quietly, opening his mouth and drinking the delicious water. Once he got his fill, he left the fountain. “Okay, I’m ready.” He said, not immediately noticing Matthew was no longer with him. “Oh crap, Matthew!” Jake shouted, but there was no response. “Aww… shoot! Now what?” Jake asked himself, as he just decided to move forward.
At the top of the stairway to the final floor, Andy & Jason were at the door that read “Office of Giovanni.”
“This is it, go Rhyhorn!” said Andy, releasing the rock Rhino.
“Don’t forget our secret weapon.” Said Jason, preparing to charge behind Rhyhorn.
“Alright, Rhyhorn, charge!” Andy, Jason & Rhyhorn broke down the door to Giovanni’s office.
“What the?” asked a surprised Giovanni.
“Giovanni! We’re here to force answers out of you!” shouted Jason.
“Hmm Hmm Hmmm, foolish kids.” Said Giovanni. “You dare stand up to the leader of Team Rocket? And you think a Pokemon battle will make me tell you my secrets? Well, not this time.” He said while smiling. Just then, Giovanni brandished an AK-47 assault rifle. “Now, get out!” he threatened.
“Attack Rhyhorn!” Andy commanded.
“RY-HORN!” Rhyhorn shouted, and thrusted into Giovanni’s chest. Giovanni lay unconscious on the floor, Jason tapes his mouth with duct tape and ties his legs and arms together.
“Go Squirtle!” said Andy, releasing his Squirtle. “Water Gun on Giovanni’s face.” He ordered. Squirtle successfully woke Giovanni up.
“Now, tell us.” Jason said, “What do you know about Operation I.S.O.?” he asked, ripping the tape off Giovanni’s lips.
“I’ll never tell foolish kids like you.” Giovanni said. “You trainers, you think you’re that tough? You’ll never be able to control such power.”
“Yeah, right.” Responded Jason. “You see these objects?” Jason held out the rubber chicken and the roll of duct tape. “This stuff is the most dangerous stuff we have, if together. You see, we got a special Pokemon with us. A Pokemon unlike any you’ve seen before.”
“Mmmm?” Giovanni thought.
“Let’s go!” said Andy, tossing the Pokeball. The Pokeball released out a new shape of energy, and a small figure was created. It was brown skinned, had a belt shape around its waist, had Bart Simpson-style hair, a crazy face and clenched fists.
“Ah, hahahahahaha!” laughed the mysterious Pokemon.
“I, I, I don’t believe it!” said Giovanni. “A Human-Type Pokemon!”
“Ninja!” Andy commanded to the Pokemon evidently named “Ninja”. “Do something involving a Rubber Chicken & Duct Tape!”
“Neeen-JA!” said Ninja, taking the rubber chicken & duct tape, and in total Macguyver Style, creates a dangerous hydrogen bomb out of it.
“Oh my God!” said Giovanni.
“You can stop this, what is Operation I.S.O.?” asked Jason.
“I’ll never talk!” demanded Giovanni. Jason walked up and squatted down to reach his face to Giovanni’s.
“You may as well just tell me, because I’m gonna find out one way or another.” Jason gloated. “You see, I got… control.” Jason said with a creepy smile. “So tell me!”
Giovanni grunted, and said, “I’m just going to not say, you’re going to have to kill me.”
“Fine.” Said Jason, and the hydrogen bomb exploded. The bomb exploded the upper left corner of the casino; Jake felt the explosion and passed out. Outside, the patrons of the casino quickly ran outside to avoid the collapse of the Rocket casino, Jake, Andy, Jason & Giovanni stuck in the rubble.

Chapter 15: The Rocket Casino

Ten days have passed since Jake met Ash Ketchum and his friends Misty & Brock. Since then, Jake decided to skip Vermillion City and go straight to Celadon. He took his time getting to Celadon City so he could train and capture Pokemon. He captured a Growlithe just outside of Celadon City and trained his Beedrill & Pikablu extra hard. He decided he did not need his Paras, Clefairy & Venonat and deposited them into the PC.
Jake released Pikablu from its Pokeball.
“Pi-kablu!” said Pikablu.
“Let’s explore the city Pikablu!” said Jake. The two explored the city. There was a rather large multi-story casino just south of the Pokemon Center, with a red R as its logo. Jake decided he wanted to check out this casino, and went.
Little did Jake know, on the second floor, two rookie trainers are also exploring. It was Andy & Jason, evidently already snooping around and hoping to confront Giovanni, the head and master of Team Rocket.
“You sure you remembered it, Andy?” Asked Jason.
“Yes, I got it!” responded Andy. The two of them encountered a barrier. “Do it?” asked Andy.
“Yes, do it.” Jason said. Andy took out a Pokeball, and released the Pokemon in it.
Jake was nearing the entrance of the casino. “I hope my luck is with me today!” he said, when suddenly, a massive explosion erupted the 2nd and 3rd floor.
“Holy Shit! What was that?” Jake screamed.
“Oh no! Was that one of the bosses Electrode?” asked an attendant. Jake ran off into the casino, ignored all the games, and went straight to the second floor. The power was off and the hallways were dark, the fires having been put out by the sprinkler system. “Oh no, I don’t have a light…” Jake said.
“I do.” Said a familiar approaching voice. It was Matthew, he was holding a flashlight and gave another to Jake. “We’re all supposed to be going through the Rocket Casino and fight Giovanni.” Matthew explained. “But only one person, or team can beat Giovanni. Why don’t we make an alliance and get through this place?” Matthew asked.
“Deal.” Jake said with no hesitation, and the two shook hands. Little did Matthew and Jake know, they were not the first, as Andy & Jason were already above them exploring and stealing a lot of junk.
“Collect all these documents Andy.” Jason said. “And some of these item balls may have Pokemon in them. Team Rocket does steal Pokemon after all.”
“Are we going to return them to their trainers?” Andy asked.
“No, I’m gonna hold them for later.” Jason answered. Going through a pile of photographs, Jason came across pictures of the three legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos & Moltres. Jason stared at the picture intently. He took the picture and stuffed it into his backpack. “Okay, time to move on.” Jason commanded, and the two went further upstairs.
Meanwhile, Jake and Matthew have just finished a double battle, with Growlithe & Nidorino victorious against a Rocket’s Ratatta & Koffing.
“Great work Jake!” said Matthew. “Let’s move on.” Jake and Matthew continued down the corridor.
“Wait.” Said Jake. “Let’s go in here.” Jake pointed at a door.
“What? That’s just a random office.” Matthew said.
“There may be secrets in there, lets check it out.” Demanded Jake. The office room was pitch black, and there was a figure sitting behind the desk.
“Hmm Hmm Hmm.” The figure laughed.
“It’s Giovanni!” said Jake, “We have him!”
“No it isn’t dude.” Matthew said, shining his flashlight over the figure. “It’s just a dummy.”
“Ohhhh. Well, I know what to do. Go Beedrill!” Jake said, releasing Beedrill into the office. “Beedrill, slash open the dummy.”
“What? What good will that do?” asked Matthew.
“There may be secrets inside the dummy.” Answered Jake.
“Are you kidding? It’s just a dummy!” Said Matthew. Beedrill slashed open the dummy, and stuffing flew out all over the desk.
“Uh, yeah.” Said an embarrassed Jake. “Beedrill, return.” Jake recalled his starter Pokemon.
One floor above, Andy & Jason were picking the lock to what they thought was the door to the stairway to the final floor, where Giovanni’s office was located. “It’s too bad this isn’t Harry Potter world.” Jason said stupidly.
“There isn’t even a key Pokemon.” Said Andy, tossing the used-up bobby pin.
“Blast, I have to get to Giovanni first!” said Jason.
“Hey, what is that?” asked Andy, pointing at a creature walking towards them from the darkness. It looked like a little green bird, with a leaf beak and a set of lips underneath.
“If that’s a Pokemon, its not one I’ve ever seen.” Jason said. “Too bad neither of us have a Pokedex.
“Hoe, hoe!” said the creature, and a key suddenly appeared in its beak. Jason took the key.
“This is the key?” Jason asked.
“Yahoe!” the creature said, and vanished in the blink of an eye.
“What was that all about?” Andy asked.
“Doesn’t matter, let’s go.” Jason said, as he opened the door and sure enough the stairs to the final floor lay in front of them. Jason looked up the stairs and held out a rubber chicken. “Ready Andy? No backing down?” he asked.
Andy held out a roll of duct tape. “I’m with you.” He said with a mean looking smile.

Chapter 14: The Mysterious Temple

Andy and Jason were travelling together around the mountains by the Rock Tunnel. “Hey, I think I know where we are.” Said Jason.
“Where?” asked Andy.
“You have to promise not to tell anyone about this.” Jason said.
“I promise!” said Andy.
“… This is the gate to the 2nd Dimension. Some say that was the great Jungle where the “Adam & Eve” of Pokemon, Mew, was from.”
“Wow…” responded Andy.
“Hey, look!” said Jason, pointing at a strange indent in the rocked hill. The two ran towards it. “Look at this description! “He who possesses the 2nd of the Cats, have high Magical Prowess, and a wicked heart, can access beyond the gate.”
“Oh my goodness!” responded Andy.
“We cannot tell anyone about this Andy.” Jason said. “Swear on your mother’s life, that you not tell anyone where this temple is.”
“I swear it, I swear it!” Andy responded. Jason had a wicked stare in his eyes, and the two started to conceal the indent with large rocks.

Chapter 13: The Four Stats

Jake was heading south of Cerulean, having exploring the upper side of the city outskirts. He captured a Venonat while he was there. It was about 4:30 PM, and in the summer, there was a lot more day to go, giving Jake plenty of time to explore. Going through the grass, he discovered a Pokemon. It was unlike any Pokemon he has ever seen! He used his Pokedex, and the Pokemon was classified as “Steelkat.” It had a brown body, and metal plates around its ferocious face, and had metal claws, legs and tail.
“Rrrrooorrrww…” said Steelkat.
“Aaaaaahhh!” said Jake, “Go Pikablu!” Pikablu was released from its Pokeball. “Quick Pikablu, use Water Gun!”
Pikablu shot out a stream of water, and it damaged the Normal/Steel type Pokemon. Suddenly, Steelkat jumped and mauled Pikablu’s face, scratch marks appearing on its cheeks. “Pikablu!!!” said Jake, “Use Thundershock!” Pikablu successfully attacked Steelkat with a Thundershock. The Steelkat fainted, and dissolved into the ground. “Well that was a close one. Are you alright Pikablu?” Jake asked while picking Pikablu up with a Super Potion. Pikablu’s face was healed.

It was now dusk, and Jake heard a scream coming from the bushes. He went to investigate. He saw a red-haired 13-year old girl with a towel around her body. She was holding a baseball bat and had an angry look on her face. “Don’t play dumb with me Ash, I know you were spying on me as I was bathing!” she screamed to a boy, evidently the great and famous Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town, and don’t you fucking forget it. I mean, this kid tells this to EVERYBODY! I’m sure most of these people don’t even know where Pallet Town is, but we’re getting off track here.
“But Misty, I didn’t, honest!” responded Ash. “It was this crazy doppelganger of mine. Pikachu has one too!”
“I don’t believe it moron!” Misty yelled.
“Hey!” interrupted Jake. “Now look, I think both of you should just grow up. Misty, stop bitching at Ash all the time. Ash, stop being an idiot.”
“… Yes sir.” Said Misty and Ash in unison, feeling patronized.
“Wow, I’ve never seen those two act like this.” Said a colored Chinese, most probably Brock, the gym leader of Pewter City.
“You know Ash, I think your problem is, you have low stats.” Jake said. “Stats, there are four of them. First is Fighters Promise, this is essentially how determined and serious you are with becoming a better trainer. Second is Psychic Ability, this is what determines how good you can control Psychic Pokemon. Next, is Awareness, this determines how quick you are to spot Pokemon, and people in need. Finally, Endurance, you know, your stamina. Basically how long you can handle exploring.” Ash, Misty & Brock seemed confused and lost.
“So what does this all mean?” asked Misty, evidently not noticing she doesn’t even know the guys name.
“I get the feeling Ash’s problem is he’s not a serious trainer.” Jake answered.
“That’s not true! I’m a great trainer!” Ash explained loudly.
“Do you even capture Pokemon Ash?” Jake asked. “You cannot be a good trainer without capturing Pokemon.” Ash looked down, but continued to listen. “How many Pokemon have you captured?” Jake asked.
“Just two…” answered Ash.
“TWO?” Jake retorted, “You’re already past Cerulean City, and you only caught two? I have five!”
“Not even a full team? Yeah, that’s a lot to brag about.” Brock whispered into Misty’s ears, and Misty giggling.
“You know what? I think you just need encouragement.” Jake suggested, “Just about an hour ago, I ran into a Pokemon I never even heard of!”
“Really? What?” asked Ash.
“A Steelkat!” Jake answered.
“Wow! I gotta catch one!” Ash darted off into the darkness. “Heeeeeeeeeere Steelkat, Steelkat, Steelkat, niiiiiiiice Steelkat!” his voice screamed from the distance.
“Rrrrrrrrooooooorwwwwww!” an aggressive roar sounded the air.
“Yyyyaaaaaaaahhhh!” screamed Ash, and scratching noises emitted from the darkness. Ash walked back into the camp. “Mom…my!” Ash fainted with a thud.
“… Ash.” Said Jake. “That’s NOT the way to capture Pokemon.”
“Yeah, that is definitely not the way to capture Pokemon.” Said Brock, feeling embarrassed to have witnessed this.
“I’m sure it can’t be that hard to figure out.” Jake said. “Only you can raise your Fighters Promise.” Ash, Misty & Brock seemed to understand. “Now, I must go. Sorry for being condescending, but it’s for your best Ash. I hope next time I see you, you’re a lot better at being a trainer.” Jake walked off and vanished in the darkness.
“Wait! What is your name!?” all three asked in Unison. There was no response.

Chapter 12: Marble's Mission

With Bill to his side, and Meaky held in his arms, Marble casually explored the shoreline about 10 miles east of Cerulean City. His new Gyarados had been a tremendous asset to his ambition, defeating the Three Sisters of the Cerulean Gym without problem.
“Wasn’t Gyarados great Meaky?” Marble asked his Magikarp. “Soon, you’ll be just as powerful!”
“Ka-aaarp! Koikoi!” responded an eager Meaky.
“Psy? … “PSYDUCK DUCK DUCK!” said Bill, who ran off to just about 20 feet away.
“Bill, what do you see?” asked Marble, who started to catch up to his Psyduck and witnessing what had gotten his Pokemon’s attention. A bloody, battered blue Serpent Pokemon laid in the sand, coiled similarly to a human fetal position. “Oh my goodness, you poor thing.” Said Marble in response to this discovery. He took out his Pokedex, and identified the Pokemon as a Dratini, a part of the only Dragon-Type Pokemon Family that exists. “Are you alright Dratini? Don’t worry, I’m here to take care of you.”
“Tiiii-ni.” The Dratini said weakly.
“There, there now, everything will be okay now.” Responded Marble, taking out a Super Potion and an Iron Vitamin. He sprayed, and rubbed the Super Potion on the Dratini’s scaly, long body, cleaning off the blood and healing the Pokemon. “Take this too, it will help your stamina.” Marble said, giving Dratini the Iron Vitamin to drink. After ten minutes had past, Dratini was back to normal, and very happy Marble was there to rescue it. “Who did this to you?” Marble asked.
“Ti-ni, Ti-ni, Draaaaa-tini.” Said Dratini who slithered through the sand and attempting to draw out in the sand what happened. Apparently this Dratini was the child of a family of Dratini & Dragonair. Dratini had also drawn out a shape of a cat’s head, with evil eyes, and its evil energy snaring the family of Dragonair & Dratini. “Tii-iii-ni! Dratini…” Dratini ended looking down.
“Your family has been kidnapped?” Marble asked
“Dratini! Dratini!” Dratini answered positively. The Serpent Pokemon slithered through the sand further, again drawing the cat’s head, and a lone Dratini being attacked by the cat.
“This is terrible.” Said Marble. “… Well, I want to help your family! Join me, and I will help you find your missing family, and stop what did this to you.”
“Tini!” said Dratini with anticipation in its eyes.
“Alright, Pokeball, GO!” said Marble, throwing a Pokeball. The Pokeball shook, but eventually stood stationary, indicating Marble had captured Dratini. Marble picked up the Pokeball and released his new Dratini.
“Dratini!” said the Pokemon. Marble picked Dratini up and cradled its long body in his arms.
“It is my mission to get whoever did this to you, and to rescue your family.” Marble said with gumption. “I won’t let you down Dratini!”
“Tiiii-ni!” the Dratini happily responded. Little did Marble and Dratini know, a figure was watching them. The figure stood up, and mounted his Ponyta.
“Let’s go!” the figure said, and Ponyta neighed and galloped off into the distance.

Chapter 11: Alex

In front of Jake stood a tall, purple haired man. His glasses reflect light in front of his cruel eyes. He looks somewhat familiar to Jake. “Yes, I am Alex, and I am your rival!” said Alex, as if he was reading Jake’s thoughts. “You & I are to have a Pokemon Battle now, got it?”
“Sure, I’ll take you on!” said a confident Jake.

Alex sends out Gastly. Jake sends out Pikablu. Gastly uses Night Shade. Pikablu takes Damage of 10. Pikablu uses Thunder Shock. Gastly takes damage of 20. Gastly uses Hypnosis. Pikablu falls asleep. Pikablu is asleep. Gastly uses Dream Eater. Pikablu takes damage of 10. Gastly leeches 10 HP. Pikablu is recalled. Go Beedrill! Beedrill uses Poison Sting. Critical! Gastly takes damage of 11. Gastly faints! Alex sends out Kadabra. Return Beedrill. Go Clefairy! Kadabra uses Confusion. Clefairy takes damage of 14. Clefairy uses Sing! Clefairy sang a beautiful song, but its attack did not affect Kadabra. Alex smiled and chuckled. “You’d be surprised at how things work in THIS Universe.” Alex said as he pointed to Kadabra’s ears. Inside, Alex has wedged cotton balls into Kadabra’s ears to prevent sound-based attacks from effecting it. Clefairy, return! Go Paras! Kadabra uses confusion. Paras takes damage of 8. “Paras! Use Scratch, and AIM FOR THE EARS!” Jake commanded. Paras used Scratch. Critical! Kadabra takes damage of 15! A cotton ball falls onto the ground from the ear Paras successfully used Scratch on. “Paras! Quick, eat the cotton ball!” Paras grabbed the cotton ball and popped it into his mouth. Return Paras! Go Clefairy! Clefairy! Use Sing! Clefairy once again sang its lullaby. Kadabra attempted to plug its ear with its finger, but it didn’t do it in time, and fell asleep. “All right!” said Jake. “Now use Pound!” he ordered to Clefairy. Clefairy used Pound. Kadabra takes damage of 7. Kadabra woke up! “Kadabra, use Confusion!” commanded Alex. Kadabra uses Confusion. Critical Hit! Clefairy takes damage of 19! Clefairy faints! Go Beedrill! Beedrill uses Twineedle! Critical Hit! Kadabra takes damage of 10! Kadabra faints! Jake is the winner!

“Hmm, so you are one of my rivals?” said Alex in a passive tone. “You’re pathetic, and I get the feeling the others are too.”
“I am not pathetic and neither are my Pokemon!” retorted Jake.
“Let me just tell you this.” Said Alex. “Don’t be deceived. Something terrible is going on in the Pokemon World. The Balance of good & evil is out of synch. I am living proof of that.” Alex walked away and vanished in the sunset.

Jake walked down the path well lit by the full moon that night, it was almost time to set up camp. He pulled out his sleeping bag, and let his four Pokemon out for some hot chocolate. “You guys did really well today.” Said Jake.
“Pi-ka!” said Pikablu.
“Bzz.” Responded Beedrill.
“Clefairy!” said Clefairy.
“Parasssss.” Said Paras.
Jake closed his eyes and tried to drift off to sleep, wondering what Alex meant by him being “Living Proof.”

Chapter 10: The J Names

Jake was at the Cerulean City Pokemon Center, resting after the tough climb over Mount Moon. While at Mount Moon, he came across a damaged chamber, and rescued a poor, trapped Clefairy. Showing gratitude for taking it to the Mt. Moon Pokemon Center, the Clefairy allowed Jake to capture it. He also captured a Paras while exploring the caves. Sitting in the lounge, Jake released Kakuna out of its Pokeball. “All right Kakuna, are you ready?” asked Jake.
“Kooooo-na!” answered an eager Kakuna.
“Here we go!” Jake took out a Blue Candy-shaped item, and Kakuna started to evolve. After glowing and shining for some time, Kakuna’s evolution had completed, and it was now a Beedrill!
“All right!” Jake said with pure excitement. “You’re now fully evolved!”
“Bzzzz-drill!” said Beedrill.

Jake decided to check out the sights. It was the time of year for Spring Break, so a lot of tourists roamed the streets. The beach was crowded with young adults and the roads were covered in cigarette butts and ashes, traffic was also pretty bad.
“Heeey! Jake!” said a voice in the near distance. It was Adam, and he was accompanied by two other trainers.
“Hi Adam, what’s up?” asked Jake.
“My Charmander just evolved a few days ago, and other stuff. I’d like you to meet Andy, and my good friend Jason.”
“Hi Andy & Jason. Are you guys trainers too?” asked Jake.
“Yeah, I just started a week ago with my baby Squirtle.” Answered Andy. “I’ve already captured a lot of cool Pokemon too!”
“Yeah, I’m a trainer.” Jason hastily answered.
“By the way Jake.” Said Adam. “What become of that Pikachu? Did you fix its attacks?”
“Oh, yes I did!” Jake answered releasing a Pokeball containing said Pikachu.
“Wow, oh my goodness!” said Andy with a fixated stare. Pikablu was shining and very healthy and happy.
“Wow, so it is true.” Said Jason, Jake and Adam looked to him. “You CAN mutate Pokemon. That’s good to know.”
“What do you mean “mutate”?” asked Jake. “Pikablu was suffering from depression. It was blessed more than anything.”
“Whatever, I’m sorry.” Said Jason. “I’m just saying it’s good to see some evidence, that’s all.”
“Rii-ght.” Said Adam. “Well, we gotta go now. We got tickets to the SS Anne. Are you going Jake?”
“I don’t think so. That ride is really expensive, and where does it even go?”
“Well, whatever floats your boat!” snarked Adam, and the three walked off.

Jake walked further up the Cerulean Strip, and noticed a strange ruckus happening at Cerulean Gym. He joined in the crowd and tried to figure out what was going on. “What’s going on in there?” he asked.
“Some crazy trainer with a lot of Clefairy’s is acting like he owns the place!” answered a member of the crowd. Jake managed to get a better look, and sure enough, it was the Psycho from Pewter City.
“Okay Clefairy’s!” he said, putting on a strange Starmie costume. “I’m going to show you how to create a typhoon!” The Psycho in the Starmie costume jumped into the pool, and started swimming around in repeated 360 degree circles, faster and faster. The Six Clefairy’s jump into the water and starts doing the same, accomplishing nothing even close to a typhoon. The crowd starts bursting into laughter at the Psycho’s stupidity. The Psycho was feeling really bad after spinning around in the water like that. He shouldn’t have had that sun-dried subway sandwich he found. He then threw up all in the pool. A siren blared off, and out of an ambulance came civil workers, who grabbed the Psycho, threw him in a straightjacket, and wheeled him off to the Nut House. Speechless, Jake just walked away from the cheering crowd for putting on such a great act.

“You!” said an unfamiliar voice to Jake.

Chapter 9: Marble

It was a bright sunny day in the fields outside of Cerulean City. Marble was fishing at a lake with his two Pokemon, a Magikarp named Meaky, and his first Pokemon, a Psyduck named Bill. Another trainer from Pallet Town, Marble is a much less ambitious person than his contemporaries. His goal is not to become a Pokemon Master, but to become a Dragon-Type Gym Leader. This would be a difficult task, since there were only 3 known Dragon-Type Pokemon, and all in one evolutionary chain. This lead to Marble having an interest in Gyarados, since it was similar to a Dragon, could learn Draon-Type attacks, and were fairly common. His plan was to raise a team of Gyarados, with his partner and first Pokemon, Bill, by his side. Bill was a Psyduck given to Marble as a child, and the Pokemon was named in a silly fashion, by it’s beak.
Suddenly, a tug pulled the rod; it really felt like a big one. Marble had never had to use so much strength before with fishing. He finally managed to fish out the Pokemon…

Hooked Gyarados Attacked!

Go, Bill!

Bill used Confusion!

Gyarados takes damage of 12.

Gyarados used Bite!

Bill takes damage of 10.

Bill used Confusion!

Gyarados takes damage of 13.

Ultra Ball, GO!

Marble threw an Ultra Ball.

Gyarados has been captured!

“All right!” said an accomplished Marble, “I captured a Gyarados!”
“Psyyyy!” said Bill.
“Kaaaarp!” said Meaky.
“My first step toward becoming a Dragon Master.” Said Marble. “Don’t worry Meaky, some day you will be one too!” Meaky responded with a smile.
Marble decided to call it a day and returned to Cerulean City to heal his Pokemon. After leaving the Pokemon Center, Marble decided to travel up north to see what he could discover at Cerulean Cape. In the Northern side of town, he noticed a disturbance coming from a house. A man in a Black outfit with an R on his shirt was holding up a family.
“Stop right there!” said the threatening crook, holding a gun. “What do you think you could do about this?” asking Marble.
“Leave this poor family alone!” retorted Marble.

Duuunu! Duuuuunu! DUH!

The Crook sent out an Ekans! “Ekanssssss!” said the slithering serpent. Marble released Gyarados! “GYARADOOOOOOOOSSSS!” said the Chinese dragon. “Gyarados, Dragon Rage!” commanded Marble. Gyarados leered back and breathed out burning Blue Flames, forming a ring of bright fire around Ekans. “Ekans, Poison Sting!” shouted the Crook. Ekans fired 3 Poisonous Needles, Gyarados deflected them all. Just then, the raging ring of blue fire closed in on Ekans, its long, scaly body burning off in a poor, torturous way. “Eeee-KANS!” said the charred snake. “Oh no, Ekans, return!” the Crook recalled Ekans. “You’ll regret messing with Team Rocket, go Koffing!” The Team Rocket grunt called out Koffing. “Use Smog!” Koffing puffed out gasses of poisonous smog, but Gyarados wasn’t the least bit fazed. “Okay Gyarados,” said Marble, “Use Bite!” Gyarados stared threateningly into Koffing’s eyes. Koffing was sweating very profusely, worried about what may happen. Just then, Gyarados quickly thrusts it’s open mouth at Koffing and bites its whole body several times. After the fifth time, Koffing exhausted out an amazing amount of Smog causing Gyarados to release the tortured creature. The Poison Bag Pokemon lied on the ground, completely deflated, and bleeding out a disgusting mix of pus and blood. “Uh, oh man!” said the Rocket Grunt. “Koffing return!” the mangled mess was recalled. “You might want to take em to a Doctor, or a Morgue!” said Marble. “Now give back what you stole!” The Rocket Grunt tossed back the bag of money and quickly ran off. “Uh, thanks. I guess.” Said the owner of the house. “Sorry if I got violent, but I don’t take things like this slightly.” Responded Marble, leaving. The sun was getting ready to set, but that didn’t stop Marble from leaving the city and continuing his adventure to be a Dragon Master.

Chapter 8: Side Story: Three Pallet Trainers climbing together!

On a winding path overlooking Pewter City on Mt. Moon, a mysterious cloaked figure rides on a Ponyta. “Whoa, there” he said, stopping his Ponyta and dismounting. He walked closer toward the ledge, and watched with care on a trio of Pokemon trainers, just getting ready to enter the caves.
“Isn’t this great guys? We all got our first badges!” said Matthew.
“We’re almost at Cerulean City!” said a boy in aqua blue, holding a small Squirtle.
“This place has cool Pokemon!” said Adam. “I hope I can do some good training here.” The three started to venture through the caves.
“Hey guys!” said a familiar looking flamboyant man.
“Hi Brian!” responded the kid with the Squirtle.
“Hi Andy!” said Brian. “Are you a new Pallet Trainer too? I thought the Professor’s only Squirtle was given to Gary.”
“Nah, this Squirtle was just born to our families Blastoise.” Answered Andy. “And this Squirtle just got so attached to me, so I decided to take it to become a Trainer!
“Well, welcome to your great adventure, darling.” Responded Brian. “Be on the lookout for fossils! I already found me an Old Amber.” Brian walked off into the darkness. Matthew, Adam & Andy continued down the passages.
“It sure is dark here.” Said Adam, “I know, go Flarey!” Adam’s Charmander was released from its Pokeball, it’s Tail Fire illuminating the area. It started to get cooler, indicating it was dark outside.

*Duunu-Duunu-Duh!*

Wild Clefairy appeared by Adam.

Alright! A Clefairy!

Adam sent out Squigglystuff (Jigglypuff)

“’Squigglystuff’?” asked Matthew

Wild Clefairy used Pound! Squigglystuff took damage of 3!

Squigglystuff used Sing! Wild Clefairy is asleep!

Wild Clefairy is asleep! Zzz Zzz

Squigglystuff used Pound! Critical! Wild Clefairy took damage of 8!

Pokeball, GO!

The Pokeball shook repeatedly. After 5 shakes, the Pokeball stood stationary.

Wild Clefairy has been captured by Adam!

Clefairy has been nicknamed, “Pinko”

“Pinko?” asked Andy “Real original name Adam. And what’s with all these nicknames your giving your Pokemon?”
“And what kind of stupid name is “Squigglystuff” for a Jigglypuff?” asked Matthew.
“Well guys” answered Adam “Would you get a pet dog, and simply name it “dog?”
“But what about “Squigglystuff?”” asked Andy this time. “Jigglypuff doesn’t “Squig”, it Jigs!”
Adam responded, “Oh yeah, then what does Wigglytuff do?”
“Well, Wigglytuff Wigs!” retorted Andy, not know what he said.
Adam laughed, “Jigglypuff Jigs and Wigglytuff Wigs? That’s just...” Adam continued laughing. Meanwhile, two tall shadows and a small one lurk in the distance, the laughter reaching them by echo.
One lights a match. “Mee-owth!” said the figure.

Part 2: Who are the Rockets?


“Hey! Guys!” said a familiar voice but reverberated. It was Brian! His Pikachu using Flash to illuminate. “Come with me, I found some fossils for each of you!” Brian took them to a small chamber, where several fossils lie. One was a Dome Fossil, another was a Helix Fossil, and another was a Fang Fossil.
“Wow, this is sweet!” said Adam, grabbing the Dome Fossil.
“Thanks Brian!” said Andy, getting the Fang Fossil. “Wow, I hope this is a really powerful Pokemon!”
Matthew picked up the Helix Fossil. “I just hope we can make it out of this cave before it gets too late.”
“Oh no, that reminds me!” Brian said in a haste-filled tone. “Those Pokemon Catchers from Viridian City were rumored to be around here.”
“Guess that’s our cue!” said a feminine voice. Three shadowed figures emerged from behind a boulder. One was a Long Red-Haired woman, her partner was a Blue-Haired male, and a Meowth accompanied them.
“We don’t have time to make idle chit-chat.” said the male, in a deep, passive, non-flamboyant voice. “So we’re going to get to the point, we are Team Rocket! I’m James.”
“And I’m Jessie!” said his partner, sounding non-unusual. “We’re here to stop you from progressing. The only problem is our twerps whose names we don’t seem to know at all are starting to climb Mt. Moon.”
“And we’re after that kids Pikachu!” said the Meowth in a whispy, cat-sounding, non-Brooklyn accent.
“Huh? A talking Meowth!” said the three in unison.
“Go Ekans!” said Jessie.
“Go Koffing!” Said James. The Ekans and Koffing release from their Pokeballs. “Okay, we’re having a 2v2 battle!”

Team Rocket Jessie & James wants to fight!

Go Nidoran (m) and Flarey!

Matthew & Adam sent out Nidoran (m) and Flarey!

Ekans used Wrap on Nidoran (m)! Nidoran (m) is Wrapped! Damage of 3!

Flarey used Ember on Ekans! Ekans takes damage of 9! Ekans is Burned!

Nidoran (m) can’t move!

Koffing used Sludge on Nidoran (m)! Not very effective. Takes Damage of 2!

Let's just skip this battle...

What? Flarey is evolving!........ Flarey evolved into Charmeleon!

Koffing’s Selfdestruct exploded the chamber. Jessie, James & Meowth anticipated this and ran off in time. “Later twerps!” said Meowth, and the three ran off into the darkness. Rubble quickly fell on the four trainers.
“Oh no! We’re gonna die!” yelled Brian.
“I never thought it would end like this!” cried Andy.
“My Flarey just evolved too.” Moaned Adam. Just as heavier rocks started to fall, the four were quickly whisked away by another mysterious figure…
It was outside, the temperature was cool, and though it was dark, their rescuer held a lantern. It was a mysterious cloaked figure, his face hidden away. He stared at each of the four trainers for a very short time, with a slight fixation on Andy. He then whistled with his fingers. A Ponyta emerged from a bush, and the figure mounts. “Farewell, for now.” He said in a deep voice with a slight-ominous tone.
