The Legend of Frosterpie - Part XV

The Legend of Frosterpie: Part XV
The Final Disc, Ice

    When we last left our heroes, they were just getting their pokémon all headed up from their battle against the evil Rocket agents, Techor and Livy. But, little does out group know that they are being watched. And now…
    “Your pokémon are ready.”
    “Thank you Nurse Joy.” Icy and the others collected their pokéballs and started heading out of the pokécenter. Some shadowy characters followed them keeping their distance.
    “Where are we headed next Icy?”
    “Hmm, I think the last disk is Ice.”
    “Guess we are headed for the Seafoam Islands then right?”
    “I think so.”
    They continued walked down the road towards the docks. The mysterious figures made their move.
    “I’m afraid we can’t let you go any further,” one agent said.
    “Hand over those elemental discs and we’ll think about letting you all live,” the other added.
    “Forget it, they belong to us.”
    “Suit yourself twirp.” Techor and Livy jumped down in back of them. Four more agents appeared on their sides. They were surrounded. “You’re giving us those discs whether you want to or not. ATTACK!”
    “Let’s go! Ivysore, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, King Slowpoke! You’re on!” the four leapt into positions.
    “Raichu! Blastoise! Vileplume!” Nicky called out.
    “Pidgeot go! Alakazam, zam them!” Lewis said.
    “Buttercup, Cyber, and Hocus!” the Pokémon all faced each other before leaping at the enemy.
    “Buttercup, Stun Spore now!” Icy yelled out, the Spores went near Venomoth, but it used Whirl Wind, sending them straight at Buttercup! She fell down onto Icy, “Ahhhhhh!” he screamed before being creamed, ok, he was still alive, but that was funny, right?
    “Blastoise...uh, use Wall attack!”
    “Toise?”
    “Block any attacks from hitting Kelly.” the Blastoise responded and did so, but after turning his back, Venomoth Psybeamed him, he fell over and was about to squash Kelly!
    “RETURN!!!” Nicky yelled.
    “( So, you wanna take on the saur? Eh? Eh? C’mon, give me ya best shot! )” Ivysore said to Muk. Muk, enraged, leapt up for a Body Slam, but Ivysore stepped to the left and Razor Leafed him.
    “Muk, return!” a red beam shot out, recalling Techor’s Muk.
    “Nidoqueen! Finish Muk’s job and take out that loud mouth!”
    “Saur!” he yelled as he went flying.
    “Pidgeot! Whirlwind!” the Whirlwind blew Venomoth into Livy’s face.
    “You little twirp!” she said, putting Venomoth into the safety of it’s Pokéball.
    “Nidoking, Horn Drill that King Poke!”
    “King Slowpoke!”
    “Whatever.”
    “Graaaaaw! Nido!” he yelled, pounding his chest.
    “Poke!” King Slowpoke responded, posing like he was about to use Kung Fu. The horn twisted and twisted, getting faster, and faster.
    “Psybeam!” and his little jewel lit up. Nidoking drilled right into the jewel releasing the Psybeam head on Nidoking! Both fainted.
    “Why won’t you guys help?!?” Techor screamed at the other TR members.
    “Eh, we’re backup.”
    “Arrrr!” Techor yelled, pulling on his hair.
    “Vileplume, Petal Dance!” Vileplume spun in circles and petals went everywhere.
    “( Flower power! )” she yelled as the sharp petals dug into the skin of enemy Pokémon, a stray shot hit Kelly and Nicky recalled Vileplume.
    “Round one may be over, but now’s when the fun starts.” Techor and Livy recalled their pokémon. “Begin round two guys.” Suddenly, the agents around Techor and Livy ran in snatching all the element discs.
    “Hey,” Kelly screamed trying to pull away a disc from one of the agents.
    “Heh, get off wimp.” He smacked her hand off the disc then shoved her backwards into Nicky. “You guys are too weak to handle that Frosterpie anyways. You won’t be needing these.”
    Kelly’s eyes began to water. Mars and Venus both stood up and started barking violently at the agent. Kelly began crying and grabbed them both pulling them in close. “No, it’s ok… I don’t want to get hurt anymore.”
    “Ha! Weaklings. What are your orders Techor?”
    “Leave them here. They won’t be a problem anymore. We know where the final disc is. Once we have it, it’s all over. Thank you Icy for all your help. Team Rocket couldn’t have done it without you. And I mean that in more ways than you can image, catch my drift.”
    “You jerk.” Icy knew it wasn’t worth another battle. Even though they narrowly beat Techor and Livy, they were seriously outnumbered should the TR agents decide to jump in.
    “What a come back. Livy why don’t we teach to punk Pikachu a small lesson in manners.”
    “With pleasure Techor.” Livy moved closer to Icy.
    “Get away!” Icy charged a psionic shield around himself before Livy could strike him. She was repelled as she hit it.
    “Oww. You stupid Pikachu. Grrr, forget them. We have more important things to do. Is the Gyarados sub-team ready for launch?”
    “Yes Livy. We can leave immediately.”
    “Good. Get everyone on board and let’s blow this place.”
    “You’ll never find Frosterpie or the final disc.”
    “Small words for a small being. You can’t stop Team Rocket this time Icy. Maybe you thought agents like Jessie and James were the tops, but you are definitely mistaken. Me and Techor are the top agents as of now and we don’t accept failure.”
    “Is that why we beat you guys?”
    “Shutup.” Livy pulled out a small pistol. “I do have orders to use this on any one of you. Don’t tempt me.” Icy was about to say something but stopped. He knew he wasn’t going to get anywhere but killed if he continued. “Now, you all just hang here while we go find the Frosterpie.” The Rocket agents followed Techor and Livy to the shoreline and boarded their Gyaradoses. They set off for Seafoam Island.
    “Aren’t we going to stop them?” Nicky said.
    “How!” Icy shouted. He was crushed. This whole adventure had been nothing but problems since it began. Now, with all the discs lost, he was ready to give up.

    “Team Rocket has seven of the discs now sir.”
    “Good. Everything is still going as I foresaw. What is the current status of the weapon?”
    “We are finalizing tests. They need to know the target in order to fully calibrate it though.”
    “I cannot see that far into the timeline. Perhaps our friends from Team Rocket shall lead us to the target.”
    “And then our reign will begin.”
    “Yes. We will take control of this measly planet.”

    “Icy, you can’t give up.”
    “Why not? Look at us. Kelly is getting hurt in every battle. She’s only a little girl. She shouldn’t have to go through this. Me and you shouldn’t even have to go through this. And now look. We’ve led Team Rocket straight to Frosterpie. We lost…”
    “Master, you cannot give up hope so easily. There have been many occasions where odds have been against us and yet we pulled through.”
    “Hocus, this is different.”
    “Icy no give up. Oak count on Icy and others find Frosterpie. Frosterpie very powerful. Team Rocket no let have Frosterpie. Bad things happen Team Rocket get Frosterpie.”
    “Loki, we lost… We don’t have any of the discs. We are outnumbered. It’s over.”

    Mewtwo watched the dialog through his mirror to the outside. “Hmm, interesting. It only took that much for him to completely give up. Guess this means I must take revenge into my own hands.”
    “Mew?”
    “What?”
    “Mew, mew mew mewwww mew.”
    “Help them?”
    “Mew mew!”
    “No. I refuse to aid that Pikachu once more. I’d kill him first.”
    “Mew…”
    “We can slow down Team Rocket for now. That’s aid enough.”
    “Mew.”

    Lewis looked at Icy, and then remembered the conversation he had had with Mewtwo a few days ago.
    “Something altered time in which a future was erased, and that boy is responsible.” Mewtwo had said to him, referring to Mike.
    “If I don’t stop Team Rocket, I’ll never find out what happened with Mike and what altered time.” Lewis said to himself.
    Lewis grabbed his pokéballs and said, “We’re going after them.”
    “What’s the point? We’re just going to be attacked again.” Icy replies.
    “Don’t give me that BS now, Icy! We’re going after them!” Lewis shouts.
    “You are, but I’m not.” Icy replied.
    Lewis’ eyes turned blue, and Lewis punched Icy right in his little Pikachu face.
    Sara ran over to help him.
    Icy jumped up and shouted, “You better have a good excuse for doing that!”
    “It was to prove a point, Icy.” Lewis replied.
    “Huh?” Icy asked.
    “All your life, Icy, you’ve had to face challenge after challenge, battler after battle, heartbreak after heartbreak. Well if something like this is going to hurt you, then maybe you’re not cut out to be the Pokémon Master you are. If you can’t take a little bloody nose, then maybe you should go home and hide under your bed.” Lewis said, coldly.
    “Then I’ll go home.” Icy replies, also saying it coldly.
    “Remember your Caterpies, Icy?” Lewis asks.
    “What about them?” Icy asks.
    “Think of what this means to them: all their lives, humans have oppressed bug Pokémon because people thought they were weak. Frosterpie is the Caterpie’s way of saying, ‘You can all go to h***, because we’re not gonna take it anymore!’ If you don’t help out your Caterpie by doing this, then you’ve let down their dreams, crushed their spirits, and given up the one thing that’ll save everyone in the end: faith and hope.” Lewis said.
    Icy looked down at his pokéballs. He remembered capturing each one of his Caterpie, also remembering Buttercup, and all it went through.
    Icy gripped his hands and said, “What’s the plan?”
    Lewis smiled and held out a map of Seafoam Islands.
    “Okay, we need to think of tactical positions we can take. We know for a fact that Team Rocket has stolen the discs, but they don’t actually know that.” Lewis says.
    “I don’t see what you’re getting at.” Nicky says.
    “They think they have the discs, right?” Lewis asks.
    “Yah...” Nicky replies.
    “Why don’t we show them otherwise.” Lewis says.
    Kelly perked up an eyebrow in fascination.

    The Gyarados sub lifted up from the underneath part of Seafoam Islands.
    “Ha! The final disc is ours! Now we’ll see what those brats think! Team Rocket will rule the world!” Techor shouts.
    “Not on your life, Team morons!” a voice shouts.
    Techor and Livy look around and see a Cloyster and Starmie come up from under the water, revealing Lewis.
    Icy and Sara jump out from behind some rocks, Nicky and Kelly come up from Nicky’s Blastoise, and Meeko jumps up from behind some more rocks.
    “Ha! Do you really think you scare us? We have the discs!” Livy shouts, holding up the discs.
    Everyone starts laughing except for Techor and Livy, who are bewildered.
    “Why are you laughing???” Techor demands.
    “You fools! Do you really think you could’ve grabbed the discs so easily!” Lewis shouts.
    “That’s right! You grabbed the decoys!” Meeko shouts.
    “That’s rubbish!” Livy shouts.
    “Oh no, HERE are the real discs!” Nicky shouts, holding up seven discs looking exactly like what Livy was holding.
    “But we have the eight, which we know isn’t a fake!” Techor shouts.
    “Oh yes, that’s the real thing, but it’s pretty useless without ice Pokémon or the other discs!” Icy shouts.
    “Eeeerr, I can’t believe they tricked us!” Livy shouts. Livy threw the discs into the water, and Lewis’ Cloyster went over and immediately picked them up.
    The cold, dampness of the Seafoam Cave was starting to get to Icy, it was getting harder for him to hold in his electricity.
    “Well, at least we didn’t get away empty handed!” Techor shouts, holding up the eighth disc.
    Lewis powered up a psyball in his arms, and immediately shot it out at Techor, who jumped up in surprise and through the disc right into Meeko’s arms.
    “Eeeerrr, Pokémon battle time!” Livy shouts.
    “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!” a loud roar shouted.
    Everyone looked down the long corridor.
    Nicky gulped.
    Coming out of the dark side of the cave in a brilliant blue spectre, came Articuno.
    “Oh my Goddish, Articuno!” Icy shouts.
    Lewis pulled out his pokédex.
    “Articuno: The legendary bird of ice. It’s ice powers rival that of all other ice Pokémon, and it can freeze with more intensity than a blizzard. No one has ever successfully captured Articuno.”
    Articuno circled around, and fired an ice beam at Techor and Livy, sensing their evil.
    Techor and Livy bailed out of the Gyarados sub as it froze over.
    “Team Rocket’s swimming off again!” they shout, swimming underwater.
    “Thank you, Articuno!” Icy shouts.
    The great bird nodded its head, and returned from which it came.
    Our heroes came up from under the ground, and walked up to a cliff.
    “Hmmm, we’ll have to fly off. Prepare our-“ Sara starts to say.
    “You should prepare for trouble!” Techor shouts from behind them.
    Everyone turns around and sees the two Rockets, drenched beyond belief with their clothes still leaking water.
    Everyone looked at the cliff before them, and then at Team Rocket, holding up bazookoids.
    “How did you get out of the cave so fast?” Meeko asks.
    “The writers don’t even know that!” Livy shouts.
    “So this is it, we’re going to die.” Lewis says.
    “I really wish you’d stop saying that.” Nicky says.
