by Frosterfree, Lewis, and Meeko
“ TOOT TOOT!” is the sound our heroes heard. Everyone
rushed up and saw that they’d made it back!
“ Now I can see how the Bug Gym is doing!” Icy says.
“ I wonder how everyone is.” Nicky said. Kelly walked up
and stood beside him. Sara jumped over near Icy, it seemed peaceful until...
“ ( ARE YOU FOUR LOVE BIRDS GONNA GET OFF THIS SHIP ANYTIME
SOON?!?!?! )” was heard by Ivysore, “ ( Oh, wait, Nicky and Kelly, by each
other? A Kodak moment! )” Ivysore whipped out a camera, but Nicky kicked it
and it fell into the water.
“ ( Hey! )” Ivysore tried to find it by looking over the
edge, but Nicky kicked him into the water.
“ ( Hey! You kicked my butt! )” Ivysore yelled as he swam
across to the dock.
“ You know, I’m beginning to think Ivysore’s more of a
curse than a Pokémon.” Meeko said.
“ Ditto.” replied Lewis.
They entered the Bug Gym. Icy suddenly sniffed the air.
“Something’s strange here. Stay back. I’ll check it out.”
The rest of the group exchanged strange glances as Icy walked into the gym.
He could hear small voices from inside the main room.
“I didn’t leave anyone here over the time we were
gone.” He slowly opened the door. The talking stopped. Icy
took a few steps into the room. His psychic senses told him to jump quick.
“What the!” Icy leapt into the air as a vine narrowly missed him.
“PiiiiiiikkaaaaaCHUUU!!!!,” he cried. The pokémon that attacked him
was baked over easy.
“ICY!!! Are you ok?” Sara rushed in, didn’t
see where Icy was and toppled over him. “Hehehe, sorry…”
“Owww… It’s ok…Hey, what kind of pokémon is
that?”
“Hey cool!” Lewis opened his pokédex. “The
pokédex calls it a Hima-Nuts. It’s a seed pokémon. I wonder what
it doing here?”
“Forget that, he’s mine now!” Icy used his
telekinesis to teleport a forestball to his hands. “Forest Pokeball,
GO!” The forestball sucked Hima-Nuts inside and clicked.
“Awesome, it’s mine now. What should I call him?”
“Well, its eyes kinda look like beads.”
“Beads, that’s a good name.”
“I suppose we should let our pokémon rest here a while
before hunting for the Grass Disc.”
“Yep.”
While their pokémon took a rest, Icy and Sara played outside
with each other. Nicky watched the two Pikachu shock each other then run
off and hide. Kelly walked up to join him. “They look so cute
together don’t they?” Nicky said quietly.
“Nicky likes… OWWW,” Ivysore yelped as Nicky’s
foot made contact with his mouth.
“Hehehe, that Ivysaur is always saying the silliest of
things.”
“Yeah, silly, right…”
“Come back here Icy. Come out, come out, wherever you
are?” Icy jumped out of the tree he was hiding in with Buttercup and
Flutter carrying him down. “Agh!”
“Bombs away!” Icy flew past Sara holding onto his
Butterfree.
“Oh yeah, two can play at this. Aura, Sapphire, I
call you both.” Sara’s two Butterfree appeared.
“Hey, I didn’t know Sara had a second Butterfree.
Look at it, it’s so pretty.” Sapphire’s body was as shiny as a
gemstone and her wings were like diamonds. She glimmered as Sara took hold
and gave chase for Icy.
“Uh oh. Oh guys, split up ahead and I’ll teleport
back onto you.” They went a few more feet then broke apart. Icy
vanished.
“Huh, where’d he go now?”
Buttercup and Flutter joined up again as Icy reappeared
holding onto to them. “Whoa. That was close. Let’s head
back now.” Sara’s Butterfree were getting tired out from chasing
Icy’s so she had them return and headed back with Icy.
“Next time, you won’t escape me Icy Pikachu.”
“Ha! That’s what you think.”
Leafy was chatting with Hocus when they got back. Beads
was also listening in.
“I see Leafy, so only grass pokémon can enter The Temple
of Goddish. No humans have ever been there. I will inform master.”
Hocus became aware of Icy’s presence. “Ah, master. I’m afraid
I have some bad news. Only grass pokémon can get to that temple.
Humans can’t. I guess you and your friends should send your grass types
out and hope they find the disk ok.”
“Doesn’t look like we have a choice.”
Ivysore looked away. “What’s wrong with your
Ivysaur Meeko?” Kelly asked.
“Oh… I don’t think Ivysore believes in
Goddish.”
“Aww… too bad.”
“Yeah.”
“I think we should send Hocus and Alakazam to protect Leafy
and Beads while they enter the temple.”
“Yeah, they just can’t enter.”
“Well, good luck guys. Oh, wait.” Icy reached
for a coffee mug on the counter.
“No thanks master, I don’t drink coffee.”
“Is fortunate. No good for health,” the mug
responded. It transformed into Loki the Ditto.
“Oh.”
“Take Loki with you. He should know where the temple
is probably located.”
“Ok. Let’s get moving pokémon.” Hocus led
the group out the door and they headed in the direction of the temple.
“Oh, I hope they are ok.”
“Don’t worry. Loki can protect them from anyone
trying to capture them. Oak sent me a special cream to add to Dittos.
He can use his body like a shield. It’s impervious to pokéballs.”
They set off into the forest. Hocus led the way.
“So, this temple, you’ve been there before?”
“Yes, many times,” Loki responded. “Oak have me
do study for him.”
“I see.” Loki gave Hocus some directions and they
continued on their way.
“Wait for us,” shouted four tiny voices. It was the
Butterfree group. Buttercup, Flutter, Aura, and Sapphire all finally
caught up with the group. “Icy wants us to come too.”
“Great, more pokémon to capture!”
“Huh?” Hocus said. It was Techor and Livy.
“Hmm, Giovanni will sure love this.” They hadn’t
noticed Lewis’ Alakazam teleport behind them.
“Zam!” Techor and Livy found themselves frozen.
“Kazam!” They vanished.
“Nice work. Let’s keep moving, it’s getting
dark.”
They continued moving through the forest. Finally, the
temple came within view. They dropped to their knees, or at least
attempted to kneel and offer blessings before the temple. “Well, let’s
get that disc.”
Meanwhile… Mewtwo waved his hand over a large glass
in his cavern. An image formed. A massive energy discharge entered
the atmosphere headed for a large blue structure surrounded by what appeared to
be sand. Energy was being fed into the blue building. “Hmm…”
Suddenly, the scene vanished. “A premonition… This isn’t good.
Giovanni has no idea what he’s getting into.”
After searching the temple for about an hour, Buttercup and
Leafy located the portal. “Over here.” Leafy stepped through the
transparent rift and retrieved the disc.
“Great job. Alakazam, would you please teleport us
back to the gym. I don’t want to have to deal with Techor and Livy
again.”
“No problem.” In no time they were teleported into
the gym.
“So glad you could join us,” Techor laughed clicking a
button. A large cage enclosed the group of pokémon. On the other
side of the gym, the rest of the trainers and pokémon were locked in cages.
“Well, start loading them into the truck. You think
Giovanni’s paying you guys to sit around?” The elite team began to
cart the trainers into a van.
“Leafy. Use the disc…” Hocus said telepathically.
Leafy tapped the powers of the Grass Disc. Her flow began to glow a bright
white. “Leafy, Grass Disc hyper beam now!” Leafy let out an
enormous hyper beam that melted the cage and creamed TR.
“Forget it Livy, this isn’t the time. Everyone,
fall back.”
“You win this time twirps, but I promise you, we’ll be
back again. You’ll never get to Frosterpie alive.”
