Bug Off -Rude Awakening-
History, what is ours? And why did it happen this way? Since man gained the ability to think for himself, he has always tried to learn of the world that was left behind. As times grow older, as do we. The world thinks back about the mysteries left unsolved in the world that used to be their time, age, and home. No one ever realizes how precious something is until we lose it. To this day technology is being advanced higher and higher, all for the soul purpose to understand what we couldn't back then.
Mankind has had secrets across almost every subject and being, Pokemon are shrouded in mystery. We have no idea where or when they ever came to this planet, or if there even apart of it at all. But as most people painfully learn, unfortunately some secrets are destined to be left alone. Not everything wants to be discovered, and we sadly learn it all too late. Some things were buried, hidden, or locked away to remain a secret forever. A fabled treasure, hidden vault of money, priceless artifact, or maybe something worse.
Just maybe something was hidden, something so dark, so evil, so heartless and cruel. That no matter what the cost. The people of that time & age wanted that thing hidden for life. But curiosity has haunted our brains far longer then common sense has. And in this story, a whole town just may pay the price for a secret that wanted to be heard and freed. The image of a beautiful girl flashed before your eyes. Purple eyes, long eyelashes, smooth black hair, ruby red lipstick, and rosy pink made up cheeks appeared.
The girl spoke into the microphone with a warm smile announcing to the camera, "Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to PANN (Pokemon action news network) news, this is Vicky Vallice. Reporting live on the scene inside the Archive mountains, high above Azalea Town in the continent of Johto. For the past 5 days I have been following an excavation crew, into caves and mountains across the globe. Searching for the lost clues to a puzzle that has yet to be solved for millions of years until now.
With me now is one of the most brilliant upcoming scientists, in this or any other century folks. The lovely and ingenious brain among brains Ms. Eve" Vicky smiled towards the young researcher; Eve bashfully blushed and giggled waving her hands. Shaking her short dark haired head no to the camera as she was pushed on screen. Eve sighed "Really it's nothing special, I'm not a miracle worker just a researcher that's it". Vicky laughed and patted her back, "Modest eh but give yourself some credit Ms Eve.
I mean this discovery is too amazing for any ordinary researcher to stumble upon, I mean you discovered the artifacts of the ancient tribe of the Pokemopolis people". Eve shrugged her shoulders seeing there was no point to get around it; she waved her slender arm to the air. Showing the large Indian camera man Gunther, her works. Eve replied "Perhaps this is what you and your viewers are much more interested in Ms Vallice". The bright camera light shined brightly upon the artifacts metallic surfaces.
It was like a 65 million year old jigsaw puzzle lying before their simply stunned eyes, each piece was metallic and a dark chrome shade of black and blue. Locked in clear smooth display cases, Gunther and Vicky were in total awe at the sight of the pieces. Eve smiled as she spoke to the camera "As you can see we have been hunting this little marvel for quite some time, we believe it to be one of the first metals made on Earth. We have yet to find any trace of the creator of this magnificent metal skeleton though.
But we have something much more amazing to look forward to, and all you viewers at home will be the first to see it" Eve said proudly. Vicky asked Eve curiously "And just would that be Ms. Eve", she giggled "Oh please call me Eve and I am glad you asked. You see we have spent years of research on these materials ever since we found them, and despite our unanswered questions we have still been fortunate. Thanks to recent digging searches in the heart of the Archive Mountains right here in Azalea Town.
We have found the final piece to our long lost legendary puzzle; we just found it moments ago. Behold the final part to our legendary metallic skeleton masterpiece" Eve stood back with her arms out, revealing the final piece to the steel skeleton. It was a colossal chest piece. Burnt deeply into the core of the rocky walls, its chest was lodged heavily inside the walls by powerful burnt marks on its dark chrome steel chest. Dust adorned green jade gem like lights on his steel long shoulders, truly an odd skeleton.
Nurse Joy then smiled eagerly as she opened up the display cases with the spare parts, she approached Eve with a smile "Eve would you care to the most honored honors?". Eve shook her head replying "Oh no Nurse Joy by all means you do it, we wouldn't have even found a bolt without your loyal and devoted helpers". Nurse Joy smiled sweetly and nodded as she headed towards the chest piece with the other parts. Vicky blinked in confusion "Uh Eve, I thought Joys were only nurses not archaeologists".
Eve smirked as she replied "Oh their nurses all right, but this Joy has always been in digging up artifacts long before I even had my first pick and shovel. Nurse Joy has also done research on the Kabuto Island that was sadly destroyed along with the Orange Islands". Loud clanks echoed loudly in the dark cave, as Nurse Joy jammed the chrome blue parts into the steel skeleton's sides. First went the arms, then the brick red claw like hands, then his long blue steel legs, and the brick red claw like feet on the bottom.
Then she rose up on her hiking boots, flexing her bare calves out as she locked the long spikes in place. They were jagged and long looked a lot like steel spider legs, Joy locked them in place. They sprung out from the broad mechanical shoulders of the skeleton's sides, finally it was time for the last piece of the puzzle. "All right Nurse Joy lock on the head" Eve said eagerly, her eyes were lighting up with excitement at this. After long last all her months and years of research on this piece will be completed.
But no sooner did Joy lock the blue samurai bug looking head piece on top, did trouble arrive in the form of explosions and smoke from the exit. Everyone coughed and wheezed in the blowing wake of the smoke fumes, loud music began to ring loudly.
"Prepare for trouble"
"HA Make it double"
"To defeat the world with beauty and grace"
"To give evil a brand new face"
"To capture Pokemon across the land"
"To reveal the world our master plan"
"Electra"
"Matic"
Electra smirked "Team Tech steals riches and Pokemon galore".
Matic grinned "YEAH surrender now and prepare for War".
Sneasel added "Sneasel! (Hell Yeah)".
Eve gasped in fear at sight of the techno Team Rocket twins, immediate images of fear and horror infected her mind. Eve's thoughts raced wildly "This is horrible, if those 2 get their hands on the skeleton who knows what they'll do with it, I have to stop them". Eve immediately rose up, her arms out in the open. Blocking the skeleton from the 2 rockets. Eve shouted "Take whatever money or tools that you want, but I warn you leave the skeleton artifact alone. If you do then you will suffer the con ARGH".
Eve shrieked as a gush of blood roared from her right shoulder, she dropped to the ground with a painful thud and squeak. Joy ran to her with tears in her gentle eyes, both Matic and Electra burst in laughter at the little sad sight. Matic smirked "Now there's a funny sight a GIRL trying to be a hero HA what a sad sight". Electra grinned to her cousin as she brushed her gold blonde hair from her ice cold eyes, "Most definitely but you don't need to vaporize her Matic after all the boss sent us here for the skeleton".
Instantly Eve's pain filled green eyes widened with horror, she knew it was what they were after. Nurse Joy reached for a whistle around her neck and blew into it, the high pitched whistle immediately summoned their digging Pokemon into action. Matic and Electra turned around to the exit of the cave, being faced with 3 angry Pokemon. Electra said "Hmm let's see a Growlithe, a Hitmontop, and a Pinsir, I think Sneasel will be more then a playmate for you guys". Once her name was spoken, Sneasel attacked.
Leaping off her black clawed feet and whirling into the air like a big black bat, a flashing shadow of darkness slashed at the Pokemon in a matter of seconds. Once Sneasel landed her claw foot paws on the ground of the Earth. Hitmontop, Growlithe, and Pinsir suddenly dropped like rocks in water, each one sporting a massive gash of a red scar on their faces. Nurse Joy stuttered in total terror "She beat all 3 of them, before we could even blink". The twins smirked a sinister grin, as Sneasel hissed "Sneasel".
Electra laughed "Good fight Sneasel now enough of these pitiful pants wetters we got a job to do come on out Electrabuzz"; the Pokeball dropped to the ground and burst open. Energizing the deadly yellow thunder tiger Pokemon known as "Electrabuzz GRRR", it sneered flexing its muscular stripes with surging electricity. Electra commanded with a deafening boom "Electrabuzz, use your thunder punch and vaporize that HUH?". Her ice eyes widen, as she actually saw her Pokemon sitting there, scratching his fat belly.
The yellow striped gut was sagging out like a bloated blob, grumbling and walking around acting totally ignorant and lazy. Electra screamed at her Pokemon "GOD DAMMIT get your fat striped ass in gear or I swear to god I'll WAHHH", Electrabuzz thunder shocked her. Electra dropped with a sizzling twitch of smoke and pain. Matic sighed at his crispy fried cousin "You see this is what happens when you don't train, you leave a Pokemon with Uncle Andrew. You know he's just gonna get fat, and lazy".
Electra bashed Matic's foot with her own, screaming as he hopped around in pain "Dumb ass, Uncle Andrew is a party freak why the hell did I even listen to you to send my Electrabuzz there?". Eve frantically ran towards the Pokemon, pleading with tears in her eyes "No please you can't destroy this skeleton, we worked so hard on it PLEASE I beg of you". Red rage boiled Electrabuzz into a furious charge of angry energy. Eve was blasted down with a powerful bash from his thunder fist attack.
The girl dropped with a squeak of pain and powerful thud, her cheek burning painfully from the blow as Joy ran to the girl's aid immediately. Electra took her chance with her Pokemon in rage and shouted, "You nuke that skeleton and it's donuts on me Electrabuzz". Immediately leaping for joy the electric Pokemon flared his thunder chargers up, shoving paws out forward he blasted a powerful thunder bolt attack. It slammed the steel skeleton with a direct hit, surging it with powerful energy waves.
The powerful shock force of the electricity literally fried the steel skeleton, it shook violently as if having spasm attacks. But it was clear the thing was not yet destroyed. Electrabuzz fired another thunder bolt, and another, and another, and yet another. But no matter how much power he amped into his attacks, the skeleton remained intact. Lights and buttons started to beep on the chrome blue chest of the steel skeleton, Electra and Matic growled and aimed their blasters at it. "Maximum charge FIRE" they said.
Both Eve and Nurse Joy watched in blind sighted horror as the beams struck the skeleton, Gunther and Vicky watched shielding their eyes from the flying sparks. The video camera remaining on, taping the powerful onslaught of destructive energy attacks. Electrabuzz shocking the skeleton with his fully charged thunder attack, Electra and Matic supporting him with their laser blasters. Blue chrome sizzled as the skeleton jerked back, left, right, all over in the heat of the blasts. Lights beamed constantly.
Like the long lost technological discovery was coming to life, after seeing a huge spark of energy discharge from the thing's chest, Team Tech stopped. The sizzling circuitry suddenly sprang to life inside the steel being. Everyone leaped back, their hearts pounding rapidly in their shaking bodies. A light beamed in the visor glass of the skeleton, brick red claw fingers started to twitch. IT WAS MOVING. The beast stood tall and proud, breaking free from the mountain. They all huddled together in fear.
Everyone gasped out loud "It's...alive".
