by Frosterfree, Lewis, and Meeko
“Giovanni.”
“You.”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
“How did you get in here?” Giovanni
reaches for a button under his desk.
“Don’t waste your time. I’ve disabled
it.”
“What are you here for?”
“Your agents have failed.”
“I know that.”
“Well then, what are you doing about the situation?”
“Techor and Livy can still handle it. I’ve
given them even stronger pokémon now. They won’t lose. But
I can’t locate each disc myself.”
“Correct you are. You need Icy’s group. You’re
dependent on them.”
“Why do you have to lower me?”
“Because that’s what I’m good at.”
“Shutup. Get out of my office.”
“You can’t run from us for long Giovanni. Remember,
this isn’t your little plan. It’s ours. You mess it
up, we take everything back. And you won’t like that.”
“Get out!”
“Plan wisely Giovanni. Retirement might not
be a bad idea.” The figure vanished.
“D*** you. I should have destroyed them
while I had the chance on the ship.”
“Look, there’s an island chain ahead!” Our
group is closing in on the Ethereal Springs. It’s a small chain of
islands unknown to humans. Only water pokémon have known of the
island’s existence. “We should be there in the next 10
minutes.”
“Icy, why were you and Sara getting weak earlier, when
you were human,” Kelly asks.
“Kelly, there’s something I need to explain to
you.”
“What?”
“A few months ago, I was involved in a terrible
accident. It changed me into a Pikachu. But it wasn’t an
accident. Team Rocket had planned this. They used a special blaster
on me. They did the same to Sara almost 4 years before me. Mewtwo
and Bill created a cure for us, but it was wearing off. When Techor finally
blasted me again, it was enough to complete the transformation again. Now,
there is no cure. I’ll never be human again.” Icy broke into
tears at the thought.
“Oh, Icy, I’m so sorry. I. I didn’t
mean to make you cry.”
“{sniff}It’s ok Kelly. It’s not your
fault.”
“Maybe they will find a cure someday.”
“Kelly, it took them months to create the first
antidote. Recreating it is impossible. Besides, Techor
changed the settings. It sapped my psychic power. I’m
almost powerless.”
“What?”
“I can’t use my psychic powers much anymore.”
“That’s terrible.”
“I’ll make it.”
“Hey, you guys. We’ve got trouble.”
Icy and Kelly went up on deck. Just above
them, Techor and Livy were hovering in their chopper. “Well, well,
well. Look who’s here.”
“Let’s sink their adventure now.”
“Fine with me.” Techor reaches into his
jacket revealing a BlastoBall. “Let’s see how they like this.”
Techor lit the BlastoBall and threw it at our heroes. Porygon
shuttered with the explosion! Lewis screamed, “What the in the
bloody name of Ash Ketchum is going on???”
“It’s Techor and Livy!” Meeko shouts, pointing at
the helicopter.
“We’re in trouble!” Icy shouts.
“Not as far as we are concerned! Time for a
little water battle! Staryu I choose you!” Lewis shouts. The
starfish came flying out of the pokéball and landed in the water.
“Neptune! Go get them!” Icy shouts.
“Blastoise, you’re the best swimmer so go!” Nicky
shouts. All three Pokémon come into the water and go closer to
T&L.
“Time for another battle. Let’s give
‘em another taste of ancient Pokémon!” Livy says. Techor and
Livy throw their pokéballs and Omastar and Kabutops come out. The
two extinct Pokémon jump out of the copter and into the water.
“Staryu! Water gun!” Lewis shouts. Staryu
launched water at Kabutops, barely affecting it.
“Blastoise, skull bash!” Nicky shouts. Blastoise
launches it’s head into Omastar. It knocks it back a little, but it
counters with a tackle attack.
“Neptune! Bubblebeam!” Icy shouts. Neptune
fires sparkling bubbles at Kabutops and Omastar. It also barely
affects them! “We ARE in trouble!” Icy shouts. Lewis
pulls out another pokéball.
“Pidgeot I choose you!” he shouts. Pidgeot
flies out into the battle. A wave hits the boat, and Lewis grabs
Jigglypuff, and Charmander jumps into a pokéball to protect itself. “Pidgeot! Try
to get them away with gust!” Lewis shouts. Pidgeot starts flapping
his wings and starts creating a mini-tornado. Lewis immediately
realizes his mistake. “Stop Pidgeot!” he shouts. He
stops but it’s too late: a hurricane is forming! The group
immediately recalls their Pokémon, as does Techor and Livy and they start to
fly away. Unfortunately, they throw one more BlastoBall at Porygon-hitting
it! Porygon starts to sink on one side, and they see the hurricane
coming from the other direction towards them. “You were right Icy.” Lewis
says.
“About what?”
“We ARE in trouble!” Lewis replies.
“Icy, what are we going to do?” Kelly says worried.
“I don’t know. Hmm, what if Hocus and
your Alakazam protected us long enough to repair Cyber?” Icy asked Lewis.
“It’s worth a shot, but what about the hurricane?”
“We better work fast. Hocus, go!”
“Alakazam, go!”
“We need you both to keep us shielded from the water
as long as you can. We need to repair Cyber so we can escape the
hurricane.” Their pokémon understood and created barriers around
them to keep any more water from entering. The hurricane was moving
closer.
“Faster Icy, that hurricane is getting closer!” Lewis,
Nicky, and Icy were quickly repairing the damaged spots on Cyber. After
another few seconds, Cyber was patched up and they began to float again.
“Cyber, run Jet Booster program and convert from your
current motor.” Cyber quickly integrated the jet engines into his
engine and started them. They escaped just in time. “Now,
let’s get to that island before Techor and Livy do!” Cyber set a
course for the Ethereal Springs Island.
“That must be it Livy.”
“Yes, according to the coordinates we stole from them,
that’s the place.” Just then, a flock of light blue Pidgeys flew
past them.
“Huh? What was that?”
“Those Pidgeys were strange looking. They
were completely blue.”
“Hmm, I wonder if they come from that island. Take
us down.”
The chopper landed in a clearing on the coast. Techor
and Livy both jump out. “Stay here and wait for us to return.” The
pilot nodded. “Let’s begin searching for that disc.”
“We can’t, remember. We don’t have any
water types. Only pokémon of the correct element can detect these
discs.”
“Does that mean?”
“Hmm, we may have sunk our chances of finding that
disc.”
“We don’t need them. Let’s just call
Giovanni and get a water type.”
“How’s he going to transport a pokémon out here?”
“Hmm, well, let’s do something.”
“Perhaps we can capture a water type from the
island.” Suddenly, they noticed a group of pokémon who had
gathered by the edge of the clearing. They were also completely blue.
“What’s going on here? They’re all
blue!”
“This island must be a legendary place indeed. Giovanni
might enjoy some of these rare forms of pokémon.”
“We’ll get him a present later. Let’s
find a water type first.”
“Hold it!” Techor and Livy turn around.
“What! How did you survive?”
“Ha. Did you really think you could get rid
of us that easily?”
“What’s the difference? Now we just get
to beat you pests again.” Techor and Livy both reach for their pokéballs.
“Oh no, we can’t beat them.”
“We don’t have a choice. C’mon, we have
to try. Besides, we can’t let them steal these pokémon.”
“Kabutops go! / Omastar go!” they say together.
“Buttercup, Hocus, Flutter, go!” “Blastoise,
Raichu, Pidgeot, go!” “Alakazam, Magneton, Marowak, go!” The
girls stayed back covering their escape if necessary.
“You can’t steal these pokémon.”
“Who says? Omastar, get ‘em with your
spike cannon.”
“Kabutops, slash ‘em to pieces.”
The two fossil pokémon put up a good fight, but now,
the group’s pokémon just had them outnumbered.
“Yes, we’re winning!” Finally,
Buttercup, Hocus, Alakazam, and Flutter combined to perform an enormous psybeam
attack.
“We don’t have time to waste battle these kids,
let’s try capturing the water pokémon and finding the disc.”
“Right.” They pokémon defeated, Techor
and Livy recalled them. “You may have won this round, but we will
win the war. Hahaha!” Techor threw a smoke bomb against
the beach and the two agents were gone.
“Let them go, we better find that disc before they
do.”
“What’s the rush? This place is so
peaceful. Oh?” Kelly notices a small blue Krabby walking
along the shore. Her eevees exchange strange glances. “Hey,
what’s up with the blue Krabby?”
“Oh my. It’s completely blue. That’s
not right is it?”
“No.”
“I think we should explore this island before
searching for that disc. No one’s ever set foot upon this place
before. Who knows what secrets it holds, especially if Krabbys here
are blue.”
“Umm, Nicky. Krabbys aren’t the only blue
pokémon here. Look.” Meeko points into the distance at
the pokémon staring at them from the bushes.
“They’re all blue too.”
“Ok, we explore the island. But I’m
keeping Neptune out as a detector. Perhaps while we explore she can
find the disc.”
“Ok Icy. Don’t worry about Techor and
Livy. They don’t even have any water pokémon. They’ll
never be able to find the disc.”
“I guess your right.” Sara takes Icy’s
hand and pulls him off to the side.
“We need a moment alone for a sec.” She
turns to Icy. “What’s wrong? Let’s have fun. Team
Rocket is still just as far from finding Frosterpie as we are, so what’s the
difference. Tell ya what. I’ll keep close to you for
company. But you have to promise to have a good time exploring.”
“I will.”
“Good.” Sara shocks Icy gently. He
jumps high into the air from surprise and lands on him face. “Hehehe,
c’mon, let’s go Icy!”
“Owwwww…… I’ll get you for that! Come
back here!”
Icy and Sara start running circles around the group as
they walk attempting to shock each other. “Must be a Pikachu thing
or something.” Kelly’s eevees mimic them be chasing each other as
well. “Oh no, it’s catching on…”
“ Cool! It’s a spring! I’m going to take a dip!”
Meeko yells.
“ I thought you said back in Cerulean that you forgot
your swim suit.” Lewis pointed out.
“ Me and Misty went shopping while our Pokémon were
being healed. Why are Chanseys always in PokéCenters anyways?”
“ Don’t even ask...”
“ Weeeeee!” Meeko jumped off from a tree into the
sparkling pool. All the Pokémon were happily swimming, even Slowpoke ( after 5
seconds of figuring things out ) went to have some fun!
“ Och!” Kelly jumped out; a blue Krabby was clamped
onto her toe.
“ It’s just a Krabby.” Meeko tried to help, but it
pinched her! “ Ok! That’s it! First my friend, then me! Slowpoke! Psybeam!
Er, wait, don’t!” 5 seconds passed, Slowpoke had figured out to Psybeam,
but, it would’ve taken 5 more seconds to figure the last command, he fired a
Psybeam right at Kelly!
“ Hurry!” they dove underwater, the Krabby, very
surprised, sat on the rock, to get beamed!
“ I thought this was a vacation!”
“ Meeko, look at your Caterpie!” Mars yelled.
“ HUH?!?! I understood Mars!!!!!” Meeko was
surprised that she finally learned Eevee.
“ You just learnt it? Like that? Poof?” Lewis asked.
“ Somehow, yep.” Meeko finally looked over at
Caterpie, he was sitting next to a blue Caterpie.
“ Well, I see you have a new friend!” Meeko said as
she patted the new Caterpie.
( This Caterpie’s fun! Can she come with us? )
Caterpie asked. “ I dunno, do you?”
( Yes! It’ll be fun! I’ve never seen a greenish kind
of Caterpie before! )
“ That’s what most Caterpies look like, um, how bout
I call you Blu?” ( Ok! ) Icy and Sara ran by, zapping and chasing each other,
Blu and Caterpie did the same, but Blu would shot out blue silk, and used Water
Gun!
“ Ah, finally, time to relax...” Meeko, Kelly
finally got a break from the troubles with the Pokémon, while Lewis was glad
Meeko was done with giving Slowpoke any commands
Vee!, a blue Eevee came up to Mars and Venus.
“ EVEE!” they said back.
“ Look, a blue Eevee!” Kelly yells.
“ That’s neat! An Eevee!” then, the three dog like
Pokémon smelled something, they went off into the forest to search.
“ Wonder what they’re up to...” Nicky says.
Nicky and Kelly started talking about ‘ something ‘
as Ivysore would say, and came up to bug Nicky.
( “ I dunno how to tell ya....” ) he was quoting ‘
Misty’s Song ‘ as he floated by Nicky. Nicky grabbed the stem of his flower
with his feet, and pulled Ivysore underwater. When he got out, he squirted a
small fountain of water out of his mouth.
“ What a silly Ivysaur.... eheheheh....” Nicky
looked over at Ivysore who was singing again.
“ Jiggly, jiggly, puff puff!” Lewis’s happy little
baby Jigglypuff rolled side to side, while Meeko’s floated in the pool with it
on top.
* You know, * Meeko thought, * Jigglypuff really likes
that baby. * “ I’m going to go exploring, see you in a while!” Meeko says
as she waves.
“ Wait a minute, you’re going into the forest alone
with Techor and Livy out there?” Lewis asked.
“ Sure, I have my Pokémon....”
“ No one goes alone in that forest. TR could jump on
you before you knew what’s what.”
“ Then come along if you want.”
“ I didn’t mean me!”
“ Then, see ya!” her Pokémon followed her into the
forest. “ Hehehe, they don’t know what fun they’re missing, hehehe...”
Meeko says to herself.
Meeko reached a kind of clearing in the lush forest, and
brought a small stereo/stereo out from her purse, and turned it on to ‘
2.B.A.MASTER’ soundtrack. Blu and Caterpie started dancing with each other.
Jigglypuff and Pikachu, Meeko and Ivysore all started dancing too! Slowpoke was
still sitting under a tree wondering what was happening.
“ What’s that?” Nicky said.
“ Sounds like, ‘ Viridian City’!” Lewis says.
When they reached there, they found Meeko and her Pokémon. Nicky ( Of course )
asked Kelly to dance. Lewis started teaching his baby Jigglypuff how to dance,
and Mars and Venus came to see what was going on.
Later, they were all tired out.
“ I’m going back to the spring...” Meeko said.
“ Ditto.” said Kelly. So did Loki, for, he is a
Ditto...
Back with Icy and Sara,
“ Go Buttercup!” Icy said, he hopped on while Sara
was still trying to zap him.
“ Oh yeah, go Aura!” the golden Butterfree came out,
and started to follow Icy’s green Butterfree. They did Butterfree races and
tag. They zigzagged through the trees after each other up on their Butterfrees.
“ Can’t catch me, can’t!” Icy said to Sara.
“ Can too!” Aura wing tagged Buttercup.
“ Well I can getcha faster!” Icy started chasing
Sara. A few blue Butterfree watched the odd looking Pokémon ( well, these Pokémon
are all blue, regulars look weird to them. )
“ Ha! Tagged ya! Now it’s a race!” Icy sped off.
“ Hey!” Sara went off after him. Aura, being bigger
than Buttercup, got more speed and almost won, but, since Icy had gotten a head
start, he won.
Eventually, Lewis decided that Jigglypuff had had enough
dancing. He carefully picked up Jigglypuff in his arms and started
walking. To put Jigglypuff to sleep, he started to lightly sing to
it. Eventually, Jigglypuff fell asleep, but Lewis found another
problem: while he had been so focused on putting Jigglypuff to sleep, he had
walked into the forest! Lewis ran the opposite direction, but instead
found himself on the beach. “Well, I probably should try to
teleport back to the group.” Lewis says. As Lewis begins to walk to
an open area, he trips over something! Lewis gets up and sees what he
tripped on: a blue Shellder! Its tongue was even blue! “An
ice Pokémon! The group can wait, this could be useful... Go
Lickitung!” Lewis shouts.
Lickitung stood towering over the small clam. “Shellder!”
it shouts. “Licki!” Lickitung replies. “Lickitung, supersonic
attack!” Lewis shouts. Lickitung screeches at the Shellder, who
uses withdraw and the supersonic reflects off the shell. “Hmmm,
Lickitung try a Tongue wrap!” Lewis orders. Lickitung’s tongue
comes out and wraps around the shell, and throws it into the air, and it lands. The
Shellder opens it’s shell and it looked like this : @_@ “And now
for the final touch: Pokéball go!” Lewis shouts. The pokéball
hits Shellder, sucking it in. The ball wiggles once... Twice... And
it locks! “Alright! I caught-“ Lewis starts to say but
is interrupted by a weird bright blue beam crash into some trees. He
grabs his new Shellder and runs over to the crash site.
Lewis walks over and sees a kid in torn clothes. He
holds his head and Lewis walks over to him and says, “You ok?”
“Hmm, let’s see: I’m walking down Lavender Town
when I suddenly find myself flying down from the sky towards this place and
crashing into a tree. NO I AM NOT ALRIGHT!” the kid replies.
Lewis helps him up and immediately recognized him. “It’s
you!” the two shout at the same time.
“I saw you in a vision and at the PODA!” Mike says
to Lewis.
“And Tiki showed me you, and Mewtwo showed you too!”
Lewis shouts to Mike.
“Mew what?” Mike asks.
“You’ll meet him soon enough.” Lewis says. All
of a sudden, Mike has another vision...
*FLASHBACK*
“Eeeerrr, return Ninetails! Magmar go!”
Blaine ordered. The lava Pokémon stood in front of Lickitung.
“Lickitung! We don’t need to use a third
Pokémon! Use tongue wrap!” Mike shouts. Lickitung’s tongue
wrapped around Magmar, but not for long. Lickitung recoiled its
tongue from the heat. “Oops! I forgot about Magmar’s
fire body! Return Lickitung, go Kabutops!” Mike shouts. The
fossil Pokémon stood in front of Magmar.
“Magmar, take it out with fire punch!” Blaine
ordered. Magmar punched Kabutops... Only to have
Kabutops’ blade block it!
“Now Kabutops! Use Hydro pump!” Mike
shouts. The pump fired out of Kabutops’ mouth and hit Magmar. It
had fainted.
*END FLASHBACK*
Mike held his head in pain once more. Lewis
picked him up again and said, “Come along. We’ll teleport back to
the group.” Lewis says. Lewis initiates his teleportation, and then the two
find themselves in the middle of the spring.
With the group all back together and in high spirits,
they continue their search for the Water Disc.
“Neptune, sense anything yet?”
“No, sorry.”
“Nicky, use your Blastoise. Maybe it can
sense over a longer range.”
“Good thinking. Blastoise go! Blastoise,
you detecting it?”
“Toise.”
“He says he’s sensing a signal in that direction. Maybe
as we get closer, Neptune will have an easier time finding it.”
“Right. Let’s go.”
Meanwhile, on the shores.
“So now what do we do?”
“Capture the first water pokémon you see.”
“Umm, how about that one?” Techor points
at a Gyarados just off shore.
“It’s perfect,” Livy sneers.
“Neptune’s picking something up. It’s
just up ahead. Oh, look!”
“Wow! It’s beautiful!” Sitting
in front of the group is the largest spring they’d ever seen. The
water was of all different colors and sprayed high into the air.
“Bet’cha Aura can fly right over that without even
trying.”
“Not now Sara, we need to locate the disc, then
Buttercup will be glad to prove you wrong.”
“Hm… We don’t mean to interrupt such a
lovely squabble, but we believe our pokémon can best both your Butterfree put
together.”
“Yeah, and how’s that?”
“Watch and learn rodent. Pokéball, GO!” Livy
hurtles the pokéball down at the team. It opens revealing the
Gyarados.
“AGHHHH!!! Run!”
“Wait, Icy, just zap it with your Pikachu attacks.”
“Hey, right.” Icy attempt to charge an
electric attack, but he can’t find enough energy to produce a shock powerful
enough to harm Gyarados. “I don’t have enough energy. Static,
I need your help now!” Icy’s Pikachu appears ready for action. “Thunder
attack now!”
“Magneton go!” Meeko and Lewis say in unison. “Double
team Thunderbolt now!”
“Raichu go! Double team Thunder attack!” The
four electric pokémon combine their attacks and target at Gyarados. It
faints and Techor and Livy call out their other pokémon.
Venomoth uses it’s psywave to take out Static while
Muk blinds Nicky’s Raichu with a sludge attack. Nidorina and
Nidorino take care of the Magnetons with their horn attacks. “Give
up, you’ve lost. Now, find us that disc since you had the nerve to
take out our only water pokémon.”
“Why should we?”
“Because if you don’t” Livy points over
in Icy’s direction. Techor’s Kabutops has its sickle raised above
Icy’s head. Sweat dipped down his face. “Pikachu does
taste pretty good you know. I could really go for a pikacabob! Hahaha! Now,
get the disc, now!”
“Ok, Neptune, locate the disc.” Neptune
glances back at Icy. [Read it quickly before you hand it over,] Icy
speaks to her telepathically. Neptune understands and dives into the
spring. When she pops out, she has the disc stuck to her mouth. Livy
snatches it.
“Hm, thanks fools. I think I’ll be eating
about now. Kabutops, finish Icy off now!”
“What?!?” Icy closes his eyes tight as he
shakes in fear. The blade hits the ground, but comes up empty on
hitting its target. The blue aura around Lewis fades as Icy appears
next to him. “Thank you.”
“Hey, no problem, buddy. Neptune read it
right? Let’s get out of here. They’re crazy.”
“Yes. Everyone, retreat!” The
group makes a hasty getaway while Techor and Livy examine their prize.
“Umm, I just though of something. I can’t
read this.”
“You won’t have to.” Techor holds out a
purple goo in his arms. “Look what I found.”
“Great work Techor. Loki will gladly
translate this for us, won’t you, you silly widdle gooey Ditto, ouwww!” Loki
transforms into a claw and snaps Livy on the nose.
“DITTO!!!” Loki jumps from Techor’s
hands and transforms into a Rapidash and speeds off.
“No! Errr… Hey, what the?” The
disc begins to crumble a bit. “This isn’t marble, it’s
sandstone. It’s a fake!”
“Neptune says that that disc was not the real one.”
“What? How can that be?”
“She says that the real disc is deep under the ocean
in an underwater city. I guess Cyber can take us down as a submarine.
“Yeah.” Loki transforms back into his
Ditto self again and rejoins the group as if nothing happened. “Oh,
hi Loki. You hear that, we get to go underwater.”
“Diiittttttooooo…”
“Oh, don’t, we’ll be perfectly safe with Cyber.”
As out team heads back to the shore, they prepare to
embark on a journey to the bottom of the sea. This adventure’s got
them going all over the place, but when will they find what they’re really
searching for? And why is it so important they find it first? All
these questions and more, to be answered, next time… Cya then!
To Be Continued…
