OBERON'S GATE
Part 1: Going Back
~Prologue~
The Animorphs had gone on a "vacation" to Manhattan. They encountered the Gargoyles and the Xanatos family. Jake attempted to morph Brooklyn, but the morph wasn't an exact duplicate because of the way Gargoyle DNA makes that there are never two identical Gargoyles. Jake had Brooklyn's exact build but had tiger stripes for the main pattern.
Jake discovered that Gargoyles had instincts fairly similar to human instincts. The major difference was that Gargoyles are highly protective. Jake found out that the protective instinct of Gargoyles could be extremely overpowering. He discovered this while gliding along and seeing an innocent human being bothered by a nasty gang. Jake glided down and rescued her before he even knew what he was doing! Then he and those that Jake was with headed back for the Eyrie Building.
Later, Alex had transported the Animorphs, the trio, and Angela to the Pokeworld. His reason was Marco commenting on morphing a Pokemon. The trio, Angela, Ax, and Tobias were told that they resemble Pokemon. They and the other four Animorphs became registered trainers complete with having a Pokemon.
Within a few nights, Jake, Cassie, Marco, Broadway, and Angela were captured by the notorious leader of Team Rocket: Giovanni! He forced them to battle, but the Animorphs turned into skunks and left a very bad smell.
Meanwhile, Mew and Mewtwo told the others of the kidnapping. The two Pokemon helped Brooklyn, Lexington, Rachel, Tobias, and Ax rescue their friends. Well, sort of. Mew and Mewtwo teleported everyone to where Giovanni had the captives. Then the two Pokemon vanished.
After the rescue, which had caused the collapse of the Viridian City Gym, Oberon, Titania, and a few others came to get the Gargoyles and Animorphs out of the Pokeworld. They got to Avalon, where Oberon was told of their adventures. Oberon was furious when he learned he was called a Pokemon. He caused Giovanni to be a Wobbuffet for the next two centuries. The Lord of Avalon rewarded Mew and Mewtwo for their assistance. They gained Fay immortality, Mew the ability to speak, and both guardianship of Oberon's Gate.
~End Prologue~
~Eyrie Building, a few months after their vacation ended~
The Animorphs had gone back to the Eyrie Building. Their Pokemon, which Oberon had enchanted to speak human, had wanted to go "home." Rachel wanted to have a longer stay in the Pokeworld but wasn't sure if she'd be allowed to do that.
Oberon had told them of his gate, which was a transdimensional portal between their world and that of the Pokemon. He had informed them of its location on the roof of the tallest tower on the Eyrie Building. Lord Oberon had also told them that Mew was presently "guarding" the gate.
The Animorphs knew that they'd have to hurry. The trio and Angela had gone through the gate the night before the Animorphs reached the Eyrie Building.
*Mew?* Ax called.
"I'm here," it answered as it arrived from teleporting to where the Animorphs were. "Please, allow me to get you to the gate." Mew teleported them up to the tower where Oberon's Gate is located. The kitten-like Pokemon continued, "On the count of three, you must focus your minds on the Pokeworld. Focus on the lounge area of Professor Oak's Laboratory. Oberon's Gate is enchanted to only open once the travelers have pictured Professor Oak's lounge. Otherwise, it won't open."
"What if not all of us pictures that?" Cassie inquired.
"Um, I don't think it will work. Tell Mewtwo I say hi." Mew teleported away again.
The Animorphs didn't find Mew's instructions all that strange. They followed through with the directions. Suddenly, a blueish light appeared. It slowly expanded until it was roughly eight feet in diameter.
The Animorphs went through Oberon's Gate one at a time in no particular order. Since they had their Pokemon in the Pokeballs, the Pokemon were transported as well.
~Professor Oak's, moments later~
*That worked quite well,* Ax stated once everyone was through Oberon's Gate. Before anyone else could comment, Mewtwo appeared.
*Welcome back, Animorphs,* it said.
"Hi, Mewtwo. Oh, Mew also says 'hi'," Jake replied.
*Thank you, Jake. I suppose you wish to catch up with the Gargoyles?* Mewtwo inquired.
"Got it in one!" Marco exclaimed, snapping his fingers.
*I know where they are, if you would like additional aid in catching up,* responded the super- clone.
"Thanks. We'd appreciate it, Mewtwo," Cassie said. Mewtwo transported the entire group to where the Gargoyles were.
~Commercial Break~
~Bit of a back-track for three weeks, outside the Viridian City limits~
Giovanni was wandering around as he had been since Oberon turned him into a Wobbuffet. He kept muttering to himself about various ways to break the curse. Strangely enough, his Persian remained loyally by Giovanni's side.
The Persian kept trying to tell Giovanni that things would improve if he forgot all about Team Rocket. One day, they encountered Jessie, James, and Meowth.
"That's weird," said Jessie.
"Why would a Persian tag along with a Wobbuffet?" asked James.
"How should I know?" demanded Meowth.
Instantly, Giovanni told Meowth everything. He commanded Meowth to tell Jessie and James who he was.
"Dis Wobbuffet is nuts! He t'inks he's da boss!" exclaimed Meowth, jumping back an inch or two.
The Persian dropped the loyalty to Giovanni at Meowth's words. Persian, who had believed it had watched Giovanni be transformed, was now doubtful. It said in the Pokemon language, "Is it true? You're just a Wobbuffet? I thought I had watched a transformation of a human into a Wobbuffet, but maybe Alakazam's Confusion hit both of us. The confusion made me think a human became you, and made you think you were once human."
Meowth told Jessie and James what Persian had said.
"Hmm. If it IS the boss, we won't have to waste our time trying to get that Pikachu from the twerp, let alone other Pokemon," said Jessie.
"Let's serve time for our crimes to clear our record. Then let's open our own fruit stand," James suggested.
"Not a bad idea, Jim," Meowth replied. They captured Giovanni and his Persian. They followed through with their plan, too. (Which catches time back up.)
~Commercial Break~
~A night's journey from Professor Oak's Laboratory, night Animorphs went through Oberon's Gate~
"What took you so long? We got bored waiting, so we started off," Brooklyn told the Animorphs when they arrived.
"We apologize. It took us a while to before we could convince our families to let us go," Marco explained with a shrug.
"Thank you for the lift, Mewtwo," Jake said.
*You are welcome. I must get back to my duty guarding Oberon's Gate. Good luck to you all," the super-clone replied before teleporting away.
"Do we wanna split back into groups?" Rachel asked. Everyone discussed the matter for a few minutes. Then they decided to split back into almost the same groups that they'd had before. One group had Jake, Cassie, Ax, Broadway, and Angela. The second party was made up from Brooklyn, Lexington, Rachel, Tobias, and Marco.
They also decided they wanted to stop referring to only parts of the groups at all times. Instead, they wanted "team names." Jake's team became The Scorchers, and Brooklyn's group was dubbed The Warriors.
The Scorchers and The Warriors released all their Pokemon. The two groups split up. The Warriors headed for Fuchsia City, and The Scorchers headed for Mount Moon.
Along the way, Ax spotted a Pikachu. His curiosity took over. He walked over to it as silently as possible. Ax knew Pikachu weren't fond of being in Pokeballs, so he acquired its DNA!
"Uh, Ax? Any reason you stopped?" Cassie asked.
*I have acquired a new morph, Cassie. Prince Jake? May I try out this morph?* Ax inquired.
"Sure. Go ahead," Jake replied.
Ax began his morph. First, his fur changed from Andalite blue to the Pikachu pattern. Next, his stalk eyes and front legs dissolved into his body. Ax's six fingers melted into the five smaller fingers that Pikachu have. His hooves split into three toes. Then Ax's tail shrank and kinked, though the tail blade vanished into the tail. His face was the last thing to change and is too difficult to describe.
Before he could get a grip on the instincts, he jumped into a tree, which was away from his friends! When he gained control at last, Ax went back to where the rest of The Scorchers were waiting.
"What's it like?" Broadway asked.
*Skiddish. The instincts of the Pikachu don't approve of human contact, and it associates all of you with humans,* Ax replied.
"I think you're doing fine," Cassie's Chikarita said.
"I agree," stated Jake's Houndour.
"Can you use your morph to speak Pokemon?" Jake's Charmander asked.
*Good question. I honestly do not know,* Ax replied. He thought for a moment. Then he tried to let his mouth form the statement of "Testing. Testing. One, two, three." What came out was, "Piiika. Piiika. Pikaachuu piik pikaa." *Did it work?* Ax inquired.
"Sort of," Charmander replied. "You said, 'Testing. Testing. Three, five, twelve.' I don't think you meant to."
*No, I did not. I meant "one, two, three." Although I enjoy making mouth-sounds, when in a Pokemorph, I will stick with thought-speak. It is not so complicated,* Ax thought-spoke. As he demorphed, the Pikachu Ax acquired DNA from revived from the tranquilizing that usually happens when a morph is acquired.
"Piiikaa," it said as it staggered a moment.
*I suppose I should have warned you of being dizzy. I apologize for the inconvenience. If I allowed you to stay outside of your Pokeball, would you let me be your trainer? And will you help me learn how to speak your language?* Ax asked the Pikachu.
It considered for a moment. The Pikachu liked the idea, so it hopped in the Pokeball just long enough to be considered "captured" and popped back out.
Pikachu, Ax, and Ax's Squirtle began to chat as the sun came up. The Scorchers pitched camp, for Broadway and Angela had turned to stone. Plus it began to rain.
~Commercial Break~
~On the way to Fuchsia City, same night~
"Hey, don't we know those trainers?" James asked. He and Jessie had exchanged their Team Rocket uniforms for some more practical clothing. They wore blue-grey T-shirts, navy denim pants, and greyish aprons.
"They do look familiar," Jessie stated.
"I know who dey are!" exclaimed Meowth. "Dey're da trainers dat can change into Pokemon."
"I wonder if they're hungry?" Jessie more said than asked.
"I dunno," Meowth said. Then he shouted to The Warriors, "You guys hungry? We have a nice selection of fruits."
"I guess we could use a snack," said Brooklyn. All of them walked over to the fruit stand.
"Don't we know you?" Rachel asked, suspicious.
"Probably. Look, we served our time, cleared our records, and opened this stand," Jessie replied somewhat tartly.
*I don't know why, but I actually believe them,* Tobias said in private thought-speak to the other Warriors.
They trusted the ex-members of Team Rocket and purchased some fruit. The Warriors relaxed a little, ate their fruit, and had a polite conversation.
Lexington's Meowth and the other Meowth had fun describing some of their adventures. Lexington decided his Meowth needed a nickname and discussed it with both Meowths. The nickname they selected was Tekkno because Lexington enjoys technology.
The remaining Warriors liked the idea of giving the Pokemon nicknames also. Tobias dubbed his Pidgey Tornado. Brooklyn's Igglybuff was nicknamed Wind Song. Rachel decided to call her Teddiursa Griz. Marco's Scyther was dubbed Sir Knight, and he decided Charger would be his Ponyta's nickname.
Tekkno asked, "Do you know of a safe place to spend the day?"
"Sure. The Celadon Pokemon Center isn't too far away, is it?" James said.
"How far away is it?" Tornado inquired.
"Half an hour on foot," replied Jessie.
"How long would take to fly?" asked Rachel, worried that the Gargoyles didn't have half an hour.
"I dunno. I've never timed it," Meowth stated.
"Would take less than fifteen minutes?" Charger asked.
"Possibly," James replied.
"All right. You three," Brooklyn pointed to Marco, Rachel, and Tobias, "morph to Pokemon. I don't know if our Pokemon will remain in their Pokeballs for the short flight, but I hope so." The Pokemon went back into the Pokeballs. The Animorphs morphed to two Pidgeots and a Charizard. Brooklyn rode Marco, who was a Pidgeot, and Lexington rode Tobias, who had morphed Charizard.
They got to the center, handed over their Pokeballs, and the Gargoyles turned to stone! The Animorphs demorphed. Then they made themselves comfortable for a good day's rest.
~Commercial Break~
~An hour before dawn of the same night on top of the Eyrie Building~
Demona had seen the strange creatures on television. She knew that the dimension where the Animorphs and Gargoyles had got them from could be accessed through a certain gate. Demona wanted to recruit some of the strange creatures called Pokemon for getting rid of all humans.
She had heard of the guardians of the gate. Demona knew one was called Mew and the other Mewtwo. The ancient warrior knew that was part of going through the gate.
"Mew! I desire to travel through Oberon's Gate!" Demona declared.
Mew popped in. One glance at Demona made it nervous. "You neither look nor sound friendly. Why should I let you through?"
"Because if I don't relay an urgent and top secret message to the Gargoyles, there will surely be trouble," Demona lied. She looked at her talons in a rather bored manner.
Mew thought about it. Then the kitten-like Pokemon said, "But I could convey the message to Mewtwo who could convey it to the Gargoyles."
"That would never work. The message is strictly for Gargoyle ears. You don't want the message to be intercepted, do you?" The unfriendly Gargess folded her arms and glared at the little Pokemon.
"No, I suppose not. Picture Professor Oak's lounge area. The gate will open once you do. Mewtwo will help you from there," Mew replied reluctantly.
Demona managed to open the gate. She went through. What happened next has nothing to do with this story. The following story is recorded elsewhere.
