    Last time, Bamf abducted Icy from the Celadon town square. Icy was knocked out by a loaf of bread; they are now in an alley.
BAMF Vs. Icy
    BAMF tossed the limp Pikachu into a wall. Icy slowly regained consciousness. “What the heck?” Icy rubbed his tiny Pikachu head.
    “Pika.” Bamf scowled.
    “Who are you?” Icy was visibly shaken by the freakish, red-and-black Pikachu.
    “pika....me.....bamf...chu...” Bamf slowly pronounced each syllable.
    “Bamf?” Icy tried to stand up. He was still weak.
    “kachu...” Bamf growled. He thrust his foot into Icy’s stomach. Icy was tossed back into the corner. Bamf ripped the translator off of Icy’s neck and delivered an oratory:
    “I am Bamf. You were one of the men. But you look just like the rest of this lame species.” Icy tried to interrupt. Bamf continued, “You were man. You are now Pikachu. How?”
    Icy spoke into the translator, “I was in an accident.”
    “Accident? But you changed. I want to be human. Pikachu are a race of pansies.”
    “The machine that changed me was destroyed.”
    “So there is no way for me to be man?”
    “No.”
    “Then you are worthless.” Bamf barked. He threw the translator at Icy.
    “KACHU!!!!” Bamf called upon thunder, the most powerful attacks his kind may learn.
    The blast struck Icy, sending him into confusion. He was insulted and angry, “Worthless???” Icy returned fire with a thunderbolt. Bamf avoided the blast easily.
    Bamf, in a quick attack, punched Icy. Icy flew sideways into a corner. Icy scowled. He surrounded himself in blue energy. He disappeared and reappeared above Bamf. His foot thrust into Bamf’s shoulder.
    “How the hell did you? You are psycho?”
    “It’s psychic, actually.” Icy sent another thunderbolt upon Bamf.
    Bamf reeled on the ground. He reached his tiny Pikachu hands into a pile of trash. He turned around, wielding a pipe. The pipe hit Icy atop the head.  Bamf kicked the smaller Pikachu in the ribs, then scuffled off, cursing along the way.
    Icy laid there, unconscious.
*** Meanwhile, about 50 yards above the previous scene, in the sky ***
    Phoo was plummeting downwards from the whirlwind. “Hmm! Hmm hmm... hmm!  If only I had... surrounded myself with another psychic shield... too late for that... now. I wonder where my inertia will take me...?” Phoo thought, as he fell downwards.
    “Actually... it would probably be a good idea to set up a shield now, in case I hit the ground...” Phoo thought, as he began to set up another psyonic shield. Due to his light weight, Phoo had enough time to create his barrier before he slammed the street.
    *** 50 yards below the previous scene ***
    CRASH!!! Phoo made impact with the earth. After brushing himself off, he observed his surroundings. Phoo noticed a Pikachu lying in the end of an alley. He rushed over, to notice a strange black box near the Pikachu’s neck.  “Hmm... Ah! This must be the strange Clan Caterpie Pikachu. I do wonder what that box is for, though. It doesn’t matter... now...” Phoo said, as he looked over the Pikachu more closely.
    Phoo noticed many wounds on the Pikachu, and it appeared to be very beaten up. “Well... there is nothing I can do here... until Aurelia comes back from attacking Team Rocket. I’ll just wait here...” Phoo mumbled, as he sat down on guard.
    “Snooooor... laaaaax...” yawned Snorlax as the powerful vacuum lifted it upwards onto the building. Jesse, seeing the fat monstrosity, frantically turned off the vacuum. Snorlax fell back to the ground. Seeing the net that trapped Clan Caterpie and the other trainers, it hungrily ate a hole into it.  Snorlax coughed it out in disgust. The freed trainers escaped from the net.  Sirius grabbed his last remaining Pokéball.
    “Go, Gyarados! Get those Rockets!” Gyarados towered over the building.  Jesse screamed.
    “AAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGHHHH! You can take the Pokémon!” She dropped the vacuum and ran into the balloon. Team Rocket escaped.
    After retrieving their Pokéballs, the trainers walked back to the Café.
    “Hey, where’d Icy go?” asked X. The other members of Clan Caterpie and the other trainers shrugged.
    “Hmm... I think I saw him get out of the net, but I don’t know what happened next,” said Seanish.
