Chapter 2: Orb of the Past Pikachus

The next day, Ryu was training hard with Jack and Burn, while the other Pokemon and Digimon, minus Cloud, all watched with great determination.

Ryu ducked under Burn's sword before he leapt over Jack's Pepper Breath attack, before he powered up and used Thunderbolt, which the two fire users dodged.

And as Ryu continued, from the side, Melissa and Tifa watched on with great interest, as well as Zock and Blossom, James and Tina cheered the three on, while Ninji and Cloud just laid back at the tree, though the Sceptile watched, the Guilmon took no notice.

Reggie however, was on a scouting mission when he saw Zeriros coming out of his castle with a huge machine as Mateus and Coward watched.

"Sir, what is that?" Asked Mateus.

"This is my vermin painting machine. This will rid me of those vermins once and for all." Zeriros said in reply.

"Mateus, you ride it. Now..." He ordered, pointing to some pratice dolls of Tifa, Melissa and Zock as he then commanded. "Aim at those dolls over there."

Mateus did as he was told, turned on the machine, which caused a huge suction device to appear from the machine and the dummies were then sent flying into the mouth of the machine.

"This will turn those Pokemon and Digimon into paintings, which I can hang up on my wall. They'll be flattened, put into frames and presto!" Zeriros said as the back opened and the dummies were in framed paintings, making him smirk wickedly before he announced. "And thus those rebels will never get the secret and Never bother me again!"

"I see you surpass yourself, sir." Mateus commented, but had his doubts.

"Now we'll take it to the forest and we wipe out those rebels once and for all." Zeirios said, oblivious that they had been spied on, to which Reggie saw everything and, with haste, headed back to warn his friends of the oncoming danger.

-Back at the Rebels home-

"Good. You're improving Ryu." Burn said as the training paused for a bit.

"Yeah, you learnt Thunderbolt and Quick Attack so quickly. Shame you couldn't do other attacks." Jack commented.

"Though you have to admit, I am doing great so far." Ryu said, proud of himself, until the moment and atmosphere changed as Reggie came in, yelling. "Master Zock!"

"What is it, Reggie?" The Charizard asked.

"Zeriros is at it again. He made this huge machine that could suck us up and turn us into portrait paintings!" Reggie informed them.

"Paintings? Hmm... this could be trouble, but I do have a plan so we need to hurry." Zock said in reply as all went off to plan, expect for Ryu, who sensed something just beyond the forest.

"What's that? I feel a surge of power somewhere?" Ryu asked himself as he headed off, unnoticed by the others, except for Melissa.

-A while later-

Walking through an unknown part of the forest and looking around, Ryu then saw something in his path, a yellow orb that sparked with electricity was glowing in front of him.

'What is that thing?' Ryu thought, feeling a great power within the orb, before he then found himself drawn to it as he walked closer and reached out to it.

And as his paw made contact with the orb, it glowed and Ryu felt shocked as his body was electrified, however, he felt no pain, but felt a great power come rushing through his body and memories of many Pikachus entered his mind, with one Pikachu using his Thunder attack, another Pikachu performing Volt Tackle, a Pikachu using Electro Ball, and another using Catastropika and a Pikachu leaping into the air and using 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt.

After the orb disappeared into his body, Ryu was sent flying back, almost unconscious, only to be caught by Melissa, who followed him in worry.

"Ryu! Are you alright?" Melissa asked in concern and worry as she saw Ryu look at her, before he said in a weak reply. "P... power... power is flowing through my body..."

Hearing his words, Melissa looked down and sensed that he was right and could sense Ryu was more powerful than ever.

"I'll take you to Master Zock. He'll know what to do" Melissa said.

-Sometime later: Back at the base-

"So you touched a yellow orb with electricity and somehow you felt more power rushing within you?" Jack asked.

"I think I know what it is. But first we have to put a stop to this latest Zeriros scheme." Zock said, but then he smiled and said. "Ryu, if I am not mistaken, that orb might be our best chance."

"I agree, but I think I have an idea as well." Ryu replied with a smile.

-In the forest-

Zeriros lead the machine through the forest with Mateus riding it.

"So where are those rebels? They must be around here somewhere." Zeriros snarled.

"Sir, I think they know we are coming." Mateus said, to which his master snarled and asked. "And why's that?"

"Because the Sceptile is right behind me." Mateus said as Ninji was standing to the back of him.

"For a butler, you're pretty good at sensing." Ninji grinned.

"Get that Sceptile!" Zeriros ordered, but Ninji just disappeared in the leafs, making Zeiros yell. "You fool, you let him get away!"

"Zeriros!"

The mean human looked up to see Zock flying above him.

"You will never win, you know that?" He questioned.

"We'll see about that you meddling Charizard!" Zeriros said back, as he then commanded. "Activate the machine!"

But before Mateus could do so, Zock flew off in the trees.

"Now where did he go?" Zeriros questioned, growing annoyed by his enemies hide and seek tactics.

And his annoyance turned to rage as Jack, James and Tina peeked out of the woods pulling funny faces at Zeriros, with Jack puffed his cheeks up and lifted his nostrils with his fingers, James blew a raspberry and Tina pulled a eyelid down and stuck her tongue out.

Zeriros yelled as he tried to catch them, but the trio leapt away, causing him to crash into the bushes.

"Those vermins are certainly faster than we thought." Mateus said, sounding impressed.

Reggie and Burn hung upside down from the trees, annoying Zeriros more as he tried to catch them, but missed as they disappeared into the trees and he crashed to the ground.

"Grr... wait till I catch those..." Zeriros snarled but was then interrupted.

"Yoo-hoo!" He heard somebody call to him, making him turn to see Blossom, Melissa and Tifa in front of him, all posing sexually.

"You want us as paintings, here's your best shot!" Melissa taunted.

"Come on. Try us if you dare!" Tifa teased, spanking her bottom at Zeriros, who was unaware that they were bait.

"You female sluts want to be paintings? That's fine by me. Then the others will follow. Mateus, turn on the machine!" Zeriros called out.

"Now!" Zock suddenly called, just as Cloud came out of the other side of the forest with Ryu on his sword, to which Cloud threw Ryu forward as Ryu was now in the air, sparking with electricity.

"Sir, that's the Pikachu we saw yesterday isn't it?" Mateus asked.

"Electro Ball!" Ryu announced in a strong tone as the electricity formed into a ball on his tail and he fired it at the machine, causing it to malfunction as it turned it away from the girls and towards Zeriros.

"Not at me you fool!" Zeriros yelled in panic, but the suction was turned on and Zeriros was sucked in.

"That would hurt." James commented as all came out from their hiding places to see what happened to their enemy.

Then out of the other side, Zeriros came out of the other side, trapped in a framed painting, just before Mateus turned off the machine.

"You idiot! Get me out of here at once!" Zeriros yelled in rage as he banged on the painting trying to escape, but couldn't.

"We better go back home sir and I fix you up a reverse mode so we can return to normal, but I am afraid we failed, sir." Matsus said as he picked up the painting of his master and drove home with him.

And with another victory, Ryu, Blossom, Tifa, Melissa, Jack, Reggie, Ninji, Burn, Tina and James all laughed in triumph at the villains retreating.

"Another victory in the bag!" Zock smiled as he landed before them.

However, James, while glad that they had won, had to ask. "Ryu couldn't learn Electro Ball before so how on Earth did he mastered so quickly?"

"It was that orb Ryu touched. That orb contains all the memories of all the past Pikachus before they all died. It was said in my book. Before they died, the leader of the Pikachus, Ken, realised that their deaths was unavoidable so they stored all their powers in that orb and when the chosen one, the Pikachu we know as Ryu, will come, he will learn and master all of the Pikachu's moves: Electro Ball, Volt Tackle, Thunder, and the two powerful Z Moves without the need of a Z Crystal, 10,000000 Volt Thunderbolt and Catastropika." Zock explained in reply.

"Wow. That's amazing" Jack said, sounding most impressed.

"So now we have a very powerful Pikachu at our side huh?" Tina smiled.

"Very cool. What'd you think, Cloud? Isn't that amazing huh?" Tifa smiled, looking romantically at Cloud, but Cloud just fling his sword over his shoulder and began to walk back.

But he then stopped for a second and said to Ryu. "At least you're not a waste after all."

Ryu just glared at him, watching Cloud leave, before he was broken from his angered feelings when Melissa picked him up and hugged him.

"Don't worry about him. He didn't mean it. But you really amazed me, Ryu. I am glad you're here with us." Melissa told Ryu with a smile.

"Aw, shucks. No worries, Melissa." Ryu blushed as he felt the Lucario's breasts against him.

"So now that Ryu mastered all his moves, he'll be more amazing now?" Blossom asked her husband, who smiled and said in reply, confident in the Pikachu. "Indeed he will. Indeed he will."

So the Rebels have managed to foil one of Zeriros' plans but they know he'll be back, after when Mateus freed him that is, but what adventures awaits them next?

Stayed tuned next time.
