Summary: As if Ken's new invention being stolen by Mojo wasn't bad enough, the Black Z-ray infected monkey uses it to send the Powerpuff Girls to a foggy area where Ash and Pikachu locate them.
The Powerpuff Girls: Mountain Timing
Chapter 1: Wrong Inventive Hands
A large city. Many people were enjoying the sunny day, performing errands and exercising. Exiting from a large school were three young ladies with enormously large eyes and white belts worn loosely around their waists. One was a redhead with her hair in a clip ponytail who wore a white sweatshirt with red/white stripped sleeves. She also wore a jean skirt and tennis shoes. She extended her arms, stretching what was a stressful day. "Oh, boy!" she exasperated. "After that, I can't wait for some peanut butter and strawberry cake!" She has to have some of the weirdest taste buds.
"Peanut butter and strawberry cake?" repeated the young pigtail blond in a white blazer and blue skirt. "Wow, Blossom! Did the Z rays warp your tongue as well as your powers?" She and a raven-haired girl in a green baseball cap giggled. The raven-haired wore a green baseball jersey and shorts to match.
"Bubbles, my taste buds have been unique even before the Z rays tagged us." Bubbles and the raven-haired shrugged their shoulders. They weren't really going to argue about what kind of girl Blossom can act as. "Anyway, I don't know about you but I'm heading to the professor's lab. Ken's got a new invention that I like to see."
"Aside from homework?" the raven-haired pointed out. "The teacher really put his foot down since you've been missing assignments." Blossom hiccuped from her friend's warning about the forgotten homework.
"How can you help when our school's breathing down your neck?" Bubbles asked in concern. All Blossom did was scratch her head in humiliation and shame.
"Let's just get to the professor's lab, please?!" she whined. Shrugging their shoulders, her friends gave up on trying to reason with Blossom and headed to a large gray structure by the outskirts. Inside, a young raven-haired boy was in a frantic panic.
"Where is it?!" he cried. "Where is it?!" The girls entered the large room inside the structure as the boy searched high and low.
"Ken!" the girls called in unison. The boy on the staircase heard his name and spotted the girls coming.
"Girls, big problem! I can't find my hand-held teleporter!" The girls groaned at what the Ken lost, not sure believing such an item exist.
"And I thought I watched too much TV," the raven-haired girl murmured. Regardless, this was an invention by someone close to them. Bubbles had an idea.
"Let's check the security tapes!" she suggested. Ken thought for a second. If he did lose the invention, the security tapes would certainly locate it.
"Good idea, Bubbles!" agreed the boy as he hopped from the staircase to a wide-screen computer. Hitting several keys, Ken watched the tape from when he created the hand-held to when it disappeared. The girls joined in when they saw that this was no lost-and-found case. It was a theft. A large green-faced monkey wearing a glass, purple striped helmet and a black cloak swooped in and snagged a black remote-shaped device from a stand. Instantly, Ken and the girls were upset.
"Mojo!" Blossom recognized. "Man, that overeager simian just can't keep his monkey nose off of us, can't he?" Ken switched attitudes from panic to peeved.
"Get the teleporter back, girls!" On that order from Ken, the girls raced out of the lab to find Mojo. The three girls even split up to cover more ground if only to locate the primate that had taken a device right out of fiction but if Ken was really able to create such a device... After sometime, the girls came back together, no luck on the location of the monkey.
"Any sign of Mojo?" the raven-haired girl asked her colleagues.
"Nowhere, Buttercup!" Bubbles shrugged. There's no way that ape escaped the city according to Ken. It wasn't that long ago, right?
"Let's transform and search the air and rooftops," Blossom suggested. "He's in New Townsville... somewhere." They ran into an alley way free of people's eyes that could see the transformation. Rings magically appeared out of nowhere while pulling out what seemed to be pocket mirrors with different colors: Blossom was red, Bubbles was blue and Buttercup was green. They opened the mirrors and scanned their rings. Their outfits morphed. "Hyper...Blossom!"
"Rolling...Bubbles!" Bubbles chanted.
"Powered...Buttercup!" Buttercup roared. When the transformation was complete, all three wore matching blouses, jackets with a yellow "P" imprinted, skirts and shoes, each with a separate color. Hold on, there's more! Blossom had a Yo-Yo on her, Bubbles had a giant bubble wand and Buttercup possessed a hammer. All three took to the sky to find the chimpanzee who's made a monkey out of them and their friends. Suddenly, a mechanical robot was spotted roaming around the city. It's pilot? That sinister simian, Mojo.
"Hold it right there, Mojo!" Blossom ordered as they descended on the monkey gone primate.
"There you are, smelly Powerpuff Girls!" Mojo smiled. "I've been waiting for you!" This was a trap. Mojo commanded the robot to blast engine boosters to help it fly like the girls. "You like what I did to Robo Jojo? Some of it was from the brat's hand-held do-hickeys!" He launched his claws at the girls, forcing Bubbles to react.
"Shielding Bubbles!" she called out as she swung her wand over herself and her friends. The claws clasped the bubble which didn't pop.
"Thanks, Bubbles!" Blossom praised. That confidence would be short lived.
"Yes, thanks, smelly human!" Mojo sneered. "Now I have you in my grasp! Behold!" Mojo brought out the device that was seen in the security tape. To Blossom, Mojo held something out of science fiction.
"You really think that thing works?" she called the device out. "Ken's new toy is as creative as a toaster." The undaunted Mojo pointed the device to the street, pressing a button. A white beam of light struck the road and ballooned to make a hole on the ground. The girls were surprised. Ken turned science fiction to reality.
"I think we're in trouble," Bubbles gawked. How long did it take for her to establish that?
"But before I do you into the light," Mojo opened up with a pink rifle-like contraption. Pulling the trigger, a ray of light struck the girls and popped the bubble. The girls fell, back in their first attire as they plummeted into the abyss. The hole closed when the girls entered. The monkey began to dance, victorious against the Powerpuff Girls. Where did the girls end up? Passed out in a very dense foggy area. A minute passed when Blossom stirred. She rose little by little, reeling from falling quite a distance.
"So much for an underground dungeon," she coughed in relief. "But I don't recall anywhere with this much fog." Despite the thick fog, Blossom spotted her two friends. "Bubbles! Buttercup!" The sound of their friend woke the other two, hurt from the plunge. Bubbles was worried about her friends' conditions.
"Are you okay, Blossom?" she murmured.
"Yeah, I'm good." Buttercup saw the fog, unsure of her surroundings.
"What happened?" she wondered. "Did New Townsville bite the dust?"
"No, I think we were relocated," Bubbles replied. With the fog getting much thicker, the girls didn't have much of a choice but to move on. Without a warning of some sort, the three saw a woman in a hooded cloak under a tree, wearing sunglasses. To the girls, it may be a way out of the foggy mess.
"You think we can ask her how to get outta here?" Blossom asked. The woman looked up to see the girls but instead of giving the girls directions...
"Listen...Listen to what I say," she sang. "Pass, pass on through as you travel Baltoy's path. Go on ahead will you ever make it back. Though you may be afraid to pass on through. Pass, pass you must, Baltoy's path waits for you. Pass, pass you..." The song stopped. The woman disappeared.
"What the-" Buttercup stuttered. None of the three were sure what just happened.
"Anyone have an idea of what that was all about?" Blossom questioned.
"Not really!" Bubbles bumbled on an explanation. With no leads at this point, the three moved on, the song lingering in their heads. Speaking of, the woman reappeared.
"Baltoy's path, it waits for you," she continued to sing. "Pass, pass you must on..." Not again! Come on, finish the song! Back out in the middle of a foggy nowhere, the girls were contemplating on what to do now that the woman couldn't provide information.
"Well, that lady could have given us more than a song that makes no sense," Buttercup groaned. It was an eerie but rather alluring tune.
"I don't know," Bubbles reconsidered. "It was a rather calming song, though spooky at times." Buttercup believed that Bubbles had a clue about what the song meant.
"Perhaps you know something about this toy's path, right? Like maybe it's a way home?" The poor blond teenager struggled to think of the song's purpose. As Buttercup geared up to tease at Bubbles, she also noticed their redhead companion looking out in the distance. Did she see something in the distance? How with the fog so thick, you'd need a chainsaw to cut through? She tilted her head and clasped her hands together. What's next, a ray of light actually hitting her?
"Listen, listen to what I say," she began to sing what that one lady performed. "Pass, pass on through as you travel-" Buttercup stopped Blossom's singing by pulling her hair. Rude? Yes. Painful? Yes. Necessary?
"Okay, Ayumi Hamasaki," Buttercup teased. "We only need one weirdo to sing something like that." Blossom wasn't thrilled with having her version be cut short.
"I was just thinking if I sang it, I might understand the lyrics." Well, it's not a bad theory. Bubbles understood Blossom's direction of brain use.
"I get why you wanted to sing but we need to find out what this...Baltoy's path is," she urged to stay the course. "Heck, we don't even know what a Baltoy is." So they would need someone who knows something about a Baltoy.
"Bubbles, we're stuck somewhere in this thick fog and the only one else on here vanished," Buttercup reminded. "We'll be lucky to find someone else in this soup, let alone find a way out." Well, Buttercup, you're about to get your wish.
"I thought I heard someone over here," a boy spoke...but there's not a boy seen anywhere. The girls looked around for the voice. "Man, the fog's so thick, I can't see my own feEEEEEET!" A scream from the top of a nearby mountain alerted the girls to view a young man and yellow mouse sliding down the side. The boy was in a blue sweat-tee, jeans and red baseball cap while the mouse was yellow with a tail of a lightning bolt with the core body being rather large. Blossom and Buttercup saw him and braced to catch his slide.
"Here he comes!" Blossom yelled as he reached the bottom. The young man was caught in a tag team clothesline but the mouse was flying. That's where Bubbles played catcher. She caught the mouse, hugging it by her chest. There's nothing there to bounce the large mouse from her. The mouse was grateful to Bubbles for catching it. Blossom and Buttercup helped the boy back on his feet. "You okay?" He slowly got his footing underneath him.
"I'm good but what about Pikachu?" Bubbles heard the new name, turning to the mouse as a ponder that this was Pikachu.
("I'm okay, Ash!") the mouse squeaked back. Bubbles returned the mouse to the boy.
"Thanks for catching us." Blossom giggled at the boy's kindness.
"It's nothing!" she smiled.
"Yeah, we always like to help out!" Bubbles added with a beaming smirk. Buttercup was anxious to get out of the area.
"Alright, already!" she huffed in fluster. "Can we find a way out of this mess, now?" Easier said than done.
"Hey, getting off the Kiri Kiri Mountains isn't gonna be easy," the boy pointed out. "Max told me that these mountains are famous for densely thick fogs." This made escaping the area more difficult.
"Not to mention that song that one lady was tuning," Blossom reminded. The boy and Pikachu were curious with Blossom's claim.
("There's a song?") the mouse repeated. The boy was just as puzzled about the song as much as the trio of teens.
"I'm wondering who you three are," he changed the subject. Throughout this whole time, neither side identified themselves.
"I think learning who we are could help in escaping this mountain," Bubbles acknowledged. "That way in case any of us are in trouble, we'll have someone's backs. I'm Bubbles, that's Blossom and there's Buttercup." The boy and Pikachu rose eyebrows at the names. It would make sense if these were nicknames but actual names? He gave up on trying to wonder how they got odd names.
"My name's Ash and this is Pikachu!" Pikachu stuck two fingers up, a peace sign. "Now about that song..." The Powerpuff Girls, Ash and Pikachu now had to work together to find a way down the fogged up, treacherous Kiri Kiri Mountains while Mojo's creating havoc back in New Townsville. Can the girls find a way back and stop the monkey from ruining the city?
