by Frosterfree, Lewis, and Meeko
Last time, our heroes got to Pallet Town and met Loki,
Oak’s ditto. They learned that Team Rocket had taken Professor Oak
captive. They now search for Team Rocket’s secret headquarters
somewhere outside Pallet Town.
“I didn’t know Team Rocket has a base near Pallet
Town.” They were walking east, hoping to find something.
“Neither did I,” Lewis said.
“Are we really going to invade their base,” Kelly
said nervously.
“Don’t worry Kelly, we’ll protect you. You
don’t have to battle them.”
They continued walking along a dirt path. So
far, nothing they saw gave them any leads to the location of Team Rocket’s HQ. “We’ve
been traveling this path for hours it seems,” Nicky complained.
“It’s only been 5 minutes Nicky. C’mon,
I’m sure it’s around here somewhere.”
-=(Scene Switch)=-
“Here they come.”
“Right, get ready.”
“We can’t let those twerps be snooping around out
here.”
“We’ll teach them the price of trespassing on Team
Rocket property.”
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, let’s.”
-=(Back to the group)=-
“Hey, that looks like a clearing up there!”
“Hmm, wait!”
“HA! Too late!”
“Who are you guys?”
“Allow us to introduce ourselves,” they recite in
unison.
“To steal every pokémon in all the land.”
“And take each pokéball out from your hand.”
“To destroy all that is virtuous.”
“To be villains who are so malicious.”
“Techor.”
“Livy.”
“Team Rocket will rule the universe.”
“Give up now, or travel home in a hearse.”
“Huh? Do all Team Rocket agents have silly
mottos like that?”
“Silence boy. That took months to come up
with.”
“We cannot allow you to go any further.”
“You don’t scare us. You want a battle,
we’re ready.”
“You may think you are all that young one, but we will
surely teach you otherwise. Ready or not, go Muk!”
“Go Venomoth!”
Team Rocket’s pokémon prepare to attack.
“Aghh!!” Kelly shrieks. Her Eevees take
fighting stances in front of her.
“Leave this to us Kelly. Buttercup, Hocus,
Cyber! Help us out now!”
“C’mon guys, we need everyone!” Lewis
proceeds to call out his strongest pokémon. “Not you Jigglypuff.”
Lewis says, holding Jigglypuff and then throwing his
pokéball. “Alakazam, go!” Lewis shouts. Alakazam
comes out, ready to fight. Suddenly, Venomoth comes down and stun
spores Alakazam! “Return Alakazam!” Lewis shouts.
Cyber began firing psybeams at the Muk, but they were
having little effect. It must’ve been at a high
level. Buttercup swooped down and tackled Venomoth, only to have
Venomoth release a psybeam at Buttercup! Buttercup was knocked down,
and Lewis threw Pidgeot’s pokéball. Pidgeot swooped
out. “Pidgeot! Whirlwind!” Lewis shouts. Pidgeot
flapped it’s wings. Venomoth was sent into a tree, but Muk jumped
up and tackled Pidgeot. “Return Pidgeot! Ok Charmander,
your turn!” Lewis shouts. Charmander jumped up and fired fire blast
at Muk! Muk was badly burned, and running around
hysterically! Suddenly, Muk jumped into the air and landed on
Lewis! When Muk ran off, Lewis was gone. Everyone stared
in surprise: Lewis had disappeared.
Lewis opened his eyes. It was black
everywhere. Suddenly, a voice shouts, “It’s about time you got
here.”
Lewis looked around. “Who are
you? Show yourself!” Lewis shouts.
A tall, almost human like figure walked
out. Lewis pulled out his pokédex, the new version one and pointed
it at the creature. “Mewtwo: a genetic Pokémon. Because
not many people survive encounters with Mewtwo, there is no available data.”
the pokédex says. Lewis gulped.
“You need a pokédex to recognize me? Oh
I’m hurt you don’t remember me.” Mewtwo said.
“I’ve never seen you in my life.” Lewis replied.
“Well, not in this life.” Mewtwo said.
“What?” Lewis demanded.
“I’m going to tell you a little story, and then you
will know the truth.” Mewtwo replies.
“Tell me why you have brought me here.” Lewis said
to Mewtwo.
“Ever the impatient? Very
well. Observe.” Mewtwo replied, pointing to a strange screen,
showing Lewis a year or two older, and traveling with a beautiful girl and
another person he didn’t recognize.
Who are these people?” Lewis asked.
“Well, I know for certain that one of them is you, but
the others I have no idea, but they seem familiar...” Mewtwo replies.
“You brought me here just to see this?” Lewis asks.
“Oh no, it goes farther then that. The
other boy, is responsible for a certain, alteration I might say, in your
history.” Mewtwo says.
“What are you talking about?” Lewis demanded.
“No one knows the future for certain. I
have watched time suddenly freeze, like it was closing it’s eyes for a sneeze,
but suddenly turn into a new course, a cough instead of a sneeze.” Mewtwo
replied.
“Elaborate.” Lewis says.
“One of those people is responsible for altering time
in some way I do not know. My own memory has been affected by
it. All I know for certain, is that one of them dies, and everything
is as it is now.” Mewtwo elaborates.
“So that’s it? You just wanted to tell me
this?” Lewis asked.
“Yes. I wanted to tell you this, because I
don’t know what’s going on. For once in my existence, I am unsure
of something. And that frightens me.” Mewtwo says.
Lewis was no longer in the void. He had
closed his eyes, and reopened them. He was back at the
battle. “Lewis! What happened?” Nicky asks.
Lewis thought for a moment. He would tell Icy
what happened later. “Nothing. Nothing
happened. Come on! We still have a battle to finish!”
Lewis shouts.
It seemed like no time had passed while Lewis was with
Mewtwo in the Void. But then again, it never does. Techor
and Livy were pulling off an impressive battle performance.
“They’re just too strong!”
“We can’t give up.”
“We have to. A wise man once said, ‘he
who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.’ So let’s
split. Everyone, return now.”
“All, return.” The group recalled all
their pokémon and made a mad dash through the clearing.
“Get back here,” Techor shouted.
“Let them run Techor.”
“Hmm?”
“They can’t beat us. They can’t do it
now, they certainty won’t later. Let’s get back to
base. The boss will need our protection.”
“Right Livy.” The two elite agents headed
back to the secret headquarters.
“Hehehe…, the old hideaway. I thought I
got rid of the place years ago. Oh well… ehehehe…”
The group headed back to where the battle was
fought. “I knew it! These footprints will lead us
straight to their base!”
“You aren’t really going to storm TR HQ are you?”
“Not alone.”
“That would imply us tagging along, right Icy?”
“Oh course. C’mon, we gotta save Prof.
Oak. Now let’s go.”
“Fine, but we better come up with a better strategy
for next time. Huh, Icy, you all right,” Meeko asked.
Icy was sweating again. Visions passed before
him. “No, it can’t be. Not now, please not again.”
“Icy? Who are you talking to?”
“Huh? No one… No
one…” Icy wiped the sweat off his face. Sara had a
similar vision. They both exchanged very worried
looks. “It’s going to happen… It didn’t work.”
“I know. We’ll be fine,” she whispered
back.
“Should we tell them,” Icy spoke softly.
“No, don’t worry them. We don’t know
for sure. It could be a side effect.”
“Ok.”
“Ok, we need to follow the tracks and attack, we’ll
have Ivysore and Raichu distract the guards while we dash through the door and
attack with all our might, since I don’t know what it’s like inside, we’ll
just have to find out.” Nicky explained.
“Now, anyone who doesn’t want to go, say so
now....” Sara warned.
“I won’t chicken out this time Sara, I left my
friends in two battles because I was afraid, I’m not doing that again!”
Meeko declared.
“I was going to stay..... but, Meeko’s right.”
Kelly said.
“Then it looks like everybody’s going!” Lewis
says.
( Hey you! ) Nicky’s Raichu zaps the guards.
“Hey! You two Pokémon will pay!” the men ran off
after Ivysore and Raichu.
“Ok, let’s go!” everyone gets through the door.
“Ok, let’s see, if I remember right. We go down,
uh-oh!” Icy said.
“We have you surrounded!” TR members came through
the doorway, and out of rooms, everywhere, “We’ve been waiting for you.”
“Prepare to lose, for it’s Ivysore I chose! Oh,
wait, he’s gone....”
“Go Bulbasaur!” But, as Lewis said that, his Weedle
and Meeko’s Caterpie leapt to fight!
“Weedle! No!”
“No, Caterpie!” the brave bugs leapt at two of the
men’s faces giving Lewis and Icy the chance they needed to get past them.
“Agh! Look at the size of those Pokémon!” Meeko
yelled, but didn’t back away this time. There was a whole assortment of huge
Pokémon that TR released.
“Look! Weedle’s Getting pumped up enough to use
Psybeam!” Weedle fired the massive beam at several TR members, but fainted
after a while from the effort.
“Oh! No! Team Rocket has us cornered!” Meeko yells,
Team Rocket moved in on Meeko, Sara, Kelly, and Nicky.
Back with Lewis and Icy,
“Take this!” Lewis sent out his Lickitung, while Icy
sent out Buttercup.
“Buttercup, psybeam now!”
“Lickitung, lick now!”
Icy and Lewis’ pokémon fought relentlessly to beat
the TR pokémon. Luckily, their pokémon weren’t strong against Icy
and Lewis’ and they retreated.
Back with the rest of the group, they were having
similar luck.
“Fall back!” one of the agents called out. They
all retreated further into the base.
“Hmm, that was a little too easy,” Icy announced
when the team had regrouped. They ventured deeper into the base
searching for the professor.
-=(Scene Switch)=-
“Sir, our agents are losing to them.”
“Pathetic losers. Why can’t I ever find
good trainers?”
“What do you want us to do about it?”
“Stop them. Do not allow them to get any
further.”
“Right sir.”
-=(Back to the group)=-
“C’mon, they went this way.” The group
found themselves in a large, empty room. “Hmm, now what?”
“We can’t allow you to go any further.”
“Your little adventure ends here.”
“It’s them again, the agents from the forest.” Meeko
and Kelly backed up a bit.
“Hey, we’ll need you two to help us battle them,”
Lewis said.
“No way, those other agents weren’t that bad, but
these two are for real.” Kelly simply knelt on the floor holding
her Eevees back. “No, you’ll only get beat up.”
“Fine, we’ll battle them ourselves. Blastoise
go!” Nicky shouted.
“Help us out, Ivysore!”
“Ready to fight, come in sight! Icy calls,
Buttercup and Hocus!”
The group’s pokémon took up positions.
“Well, four on two isn’t very fair.”
“Since when did Team Rocket play fair?”
“Since never! Go Muk!”
“Venomoth go!”
“Buttercup, sleep powder!” Buttercup
sprayed her sleep powder at Venomoth but it retaliated with whirlwind. Buttercup
was put to sleep by her own powder.
“Hahaha, you little twerps are no match for us. Muk,
tackle attack!” Muk charged towards Ivysore and Hocus.
“Ivysore, vine whip!”
“Hocus, disable quick!” Hocus
concentrated quickly and attempted his disable attack on Muk. It
slowed the slimy pokémon down a little, but not completely. Ivysore’s
vine whip had no effect on it.
“Ivysore, get out of the way!” Ivysore
jumped out of Muk’s path, as did Hocus.
“Psybeam Hocus!” Hocus fired a psybeam at
Muk, defeating it.
“Aghh, Muk return. It’s your turn now.”
“Ivysore return! Go Charmander!”
“Shoot, fire could hurt Venomoth. Venomoth,
stun spore now.” Charmander was too slow and became paralyzed by
the stun spores. “Psybeam it now!” Charmander was
knock into Lewis by Venomoth’s psybeam.
“Blastoise, use your water gun to take out Venomoth.” Blastoise
fired its hydro cannons at Venomoth, but the flying pokémon was too strong and
stayed flying.
“You may think you’re good, but we are better. Venomoth,
psybeam now!” Venomoth released a large psybeam and knocked out
Blastoise.
“What the!?! That’s impossible! Blastoise
return.”
“We’ve got to find Oak and get out of here. Someone
needs to create a diversion. I’ll teleport to that door there and
find Oak myself.”
“Ok Icy. Ivysore go. Use your
razor leaf attack to create a circle around us.” Ivysore surrounded
the group with leaves while Icy teleported to the opening.
While the group continued battling Livy and Techor, Icy
quickly went to locate Oak. “Hocus, use your psy-power to render us
invisible to their security scanners.” Hocus masked their energy so
that the scanners wouldn’t detect them. Icy used his telepathy to
located Oak. “Hmm, I sense Oak’s brain waves coming from that
corridor. Let’s go!”
“Venomoth, psybeam attack!” Venomoth
finished off the rest of the team’s pokémon.
“Oh no. This is bad.”
“Hahaha, huh? Wait a minute, someone’s
missing.” Livy pushed a red button on the wall. “Intruder
alert! All agents, search the base!”
“We’ll deal with you all later.” Techor
pushed another button and a cage dropped on the group. “Why don’t
you all stick around for a while.” With that, they went to search
for Icy.
“Oh no, I hope Icy finds Oak soon.”
“Professor!”
“Icy!”
“Professor, stand back. I’ll get you
out.”
“Uhhh…” Oak stepped back a bit.
“Cyber, go!” Icy held Cyber up to the
bars and used his beak like a saw. “Ok professor. Let’s
get out of here quick!” Suddenly, Icy received a telepathic message
from Lewis. “Oh no, the others are in trouble. We must
hurry.”
“I’m coming.” Icy and Oak ran back
toward the open room their friends were still trapped in.
“Not so fast little one.”
“Just where do you think you’re taking him.” Icy
noticed a strange looking blaster in Techor’s hand. He had seen
that blaster before somewhere.
“We’re checking out. Cya!” Icy
knew he didn’t have time to mess around and teleported himself and Oak as far
as his energy levels would permit. They ended up only a few feet in
back of the agents, but it was far enough.
“Get back here!” Techor aimed to blaster
at Icy and fired. Luckily the shot missed. “Grrrr!!! C’mon,
after them!” Techor, Livy, and some other TR agents gave chase.
“We’re almost there.” Icy and Oak
entered the room where their friends were trapped. “Hocus, melt the
bars with your psy-energy.” Hocus focused his psybeam on the bars
and they slowly melted. “Faster Hocus, we don’t have much
time.”
“Right you are, pest!” Techor fired the
blaster again. Icy was ready this time.
“Psy-shield now!” Icy used his last bits
of psy-energy to create a force field to block the blaster. “Ughh…” He
was weak from the high-energy drains but still had enough energy to keep going. Hocus
had melted through the bars and everyone made a quick dash for the entrance.
“No, don’t let them get away! Seal the
exits!” It was too late. Icy’s group and Oak had
already made it outside with the help of Lewis’ Alakazam. It
teleported them all out safely. “GRRRR!!!!! The boss is
going to have a fit when he hears about this.
“No Techor, I’ve already had that fit.”
“Boss?”
“You two may a have failed to hold them this time, but
I see potential in you both. I still have Oak’s manuscript. You
two are to find the Frosterpie before they do. Understood?”
“Yes sir,” Techor and Livy replied in unison.
“Excellent. Oh, and Techor.”
“Yes sir?”
“Make sure you get him with that.” Giovanni
motioned towards the blaster.
“You want me to kill him?”
“Don’t worry, it won’t kill him, but it will put
an end to his group’s messing around with our plans. Just do as I
say.”
“Right sir. I’ll get him.”
-=(Scene Switch - Oak’s Lab)=-
The group made it back to the lab without any more
distractions. “Those two Rockets are impossible to beat.”
“Techor and Livy are Giovanni’s special agents. They
are part of his elite group,” Oak interrupted.
“What was that blaster they were firing at you Icy?”
Kelly asked.
“I don’t know, but I’m glad it didn’t hit me.” Icy
was still unsure if it was the same one. Sara sensed his tension and
went over to him.
“It’s the same one, isn’t it. The
effects are going to wear off, aren’t they?” she whispered.
“I think so…” Icy squeezed her hand. They
both understood their fates.
“Umm, Icy, Sara? Heeeeelllllooooooooo,”
Meeko said waving her hand in front of their faces.
“Oh, sorry. What?”
“Icy, I trust Loki gave you the second copy of the
manuscript already?”
“Yes professor. How do we read it
though?”
“Hmm, yes, that’s the tricky part. So
far, I’m the only pokémon scholar who can read the text. But I’m
afraid I can’t afford to journey with you to find Frosterpie.”
“Then how will we find it?” Nicky asked.
“Loki will travel with you. I will give him
a communicator so that I can talk to you and give him instructions. Loki,
I want you to go with Icy and his friends and help them search for Frosterpie. Ok?”
“Ditto!” Loki squeaked. He jumped into
Kelly’s unsuspecting arms knocked the small girl over. She
fortunately came down to a soft surface.
“Oww…” she said rubbing her back.
“Ohhh…” whined Mars and Venus. They got
back up and stood by Kelly’s feet.
“Sorry guys… Ehehehe…”
And so our adventure continues. But what
dangers lay in store for our group? And what is wrong with Icy and
Sara? And will our team ever be strong enough to defeat the evil
Rockets, Techor and Livy? Find out next time on, The PokéWars!
