I don't own Danny Phantom. Butch Hartman does. If I DID own Danny Phantom, the third season wouldn't have been as rushed, we'd have seen more of Danielle, and the series finale would have involved Dark Phantom.
I don't own anything related to Pokemon. Not the little creatures themselves (no matter how much I would like one), or the characters of the anime. Nintendo and their affiliates do.
THE FIGHT AGAINST VLAD PLASMIUS! Awesomeness.
Danny Phantom:
Phantom and Spectre
Part 4
"VLAD?" shouted Danny Phantom.
"That other half-ghost you told us about?" asked Spectre Dan, "What's he doing here?"
"I think he's in that dragon thing," said Dani fearfully. She still had nightmares about when Vlad tried to melt her down.
Vlad-Rayquaza fired a Hyper Beam and everyone scattered.
"That 'dragon thing' is Rayquaza!" shouted Dan, "The Emperor of the Sky and a Legendary Pokémon!"
"I'm guessing that's bad," said Danny.
"It's 'run the other way' bad. Legendaries are the most powerful of Pokémon. If Vlad's in there, we're in for a big fight."
"I just hope he doesn't figure out how to work his ghost powers while in there."
Just then, a beam of violet energy shot out of Rayquaza's claw, missing Dani by inches.
"I think he just did," said Danny, "Great."
"We need to come up with a plan. Spook! Give us some cover!" called out Dan.
Spook giggled and created a curtain of darkness, enough for the heroes to use as a smokescreen.
"You can run, but you can't hide. Ha-ha-ha! This is POWER!" shouted Vlad, intoxicated by the powers Rayquaza's body had.
oOo
"This cavern should be enough to hide us," said Spectre Dan, "Now, I need you to tell me as many of Vlad's abilities as you can."
"Well, he's had his powers for over twenty years, so he's more powerful and experienced than me. He has all the standard stuff: flight, super-strength, invisibility, intangibility, and energy blasts. He can make shapes out of ectoplasmic energy, teleport, make ecto-tornadoes, and make duplicates of himself. A lot of duplicates. He's one of my toughest opponents. In a head-to-head battle, he's usually the winner, although I've been gaining on him recently. The good news is that it's hard to use ghost powers while you're overshadowing someone," said Danny.
"The bad news is that Rayquaza is extremely hard to take down. Even other legendaries have trouble fighting him," said Maria.
"But, you said that all Pokémon have weaknesses. What are his?" asked Dani.
"Tops on the list is Ice, followed by Rock and Dragon."
"Ice I can do," said Danny, charging up a freezing beam.
"Let's not run off half-cocked. We only have three Pokémon that can do Ice-type attacks, and Vlad is probably reinforcing Rayquaza's defenses," said Dan, "I need a minute to think."
They all sat in silence for a moment. Blaze, Spook, and Darkwing were used to this, as were Maria, Shimmer, and Synch, but the half-ghosts grew fidgety. Then, Dan finally spoke.
"I have a plan."
"Listen good, everyone," said Maria, as she and Dan called out the other Pokémon, "Uncle Dan's plans are always GENIUS."
After Dan outlined the plan (with a Plan B for nearly every step), Danny let out a low whistle.
"You got all that from two minutes of thought?"
"Was it TWO minutes?" asked Dan, "I must be having an off day."
oOo
Vlad-Rayquaza heard something.
"It sounds like violin music," he said to himself as the followed the sound. He found a person playing a violin from atop a large rock.
"It sounds similar to 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'. Odd," Vlad said to himself. Suddenly, the body he was possessing jerked toward the musician and settled on the ground, spellbound by the music. Vlad couldn't get Rayquaza to move at all.
"Oh, fudge buckets!" Vlad shouted, "How can you resist?"
"Wow, Spectre Dan was right. Rayquaza REALLY likes his playing," came a voice.
"Eh, I don't get violins. But, whatever works," came another, a girl's voice.
As the music got faster, two forms, the bearers of the voices, flew at Rayquaza and phased into him.
They were Danny Phantom and Dani Phantom.
There were sounds of struggling within Rayquaza, but he took no notice, putting his full attention into the music that was increasing in speed. As Spectre Dan reached the crescendo, Vlad Plasmius was blasted out of Rayquaza.
'Right on schedule,' thought Dan as he finished the song and told Rayquaza to run. As Rayquaza flew off, not wanting to get overshadowed again, three ghosts duked it out.
oOo
"You're in for it now, Vlad!" shouted Dani as she fired an ecto-beam.
"Oh please," said Vlad as he put up a shield, "You can't beat me. You're just a failed experiment of mine, a mistake."
"At least I have a heart!" she shouted back as she shot toward Vlad.
"HA! What a joke!" Vlad shouted back as he blasted Dani away.
"You just don't know her like I do," said Danny as he gave Vlad an uppercut to the jaw, "In fact, you don't know anyone well. Look at yourself. You used to be somebody. Now what are you? Just a shadow of your former self. You've lost everything in your quest for power. You shunned your old friendships and you've ended up alone, with nothing but the hate you've harbored for years."
"But that hate gives me power," shouted Vlad as he fought back, "You're weak. You can't beat me."
Vlad shoved Danny into a tree and held him there by the throat.
"You don't have the power to beat me."
"I have something just as good," said Danny between gasps.
"What's that?"
"Friends."
Vlad roared in pain as a blast of psychic energy struck him, knocking him away from Danny. Said blast was followed by a wall of brackish water. It was Synch and Pinky, with Maria behind them.
"Okay boys," she said as she released hers and Dan's Pokémon, "You know the drill. Hit him hard and fast. PUSH HIM BACK!"
Blaze and Static struck with a Blaze Kick, a Thunderpunch, and an Ice Punch, forming a makeshift Tri Attack. Synch and Spook fired off a Psycho Cut and a Shadow Ball. Rose and Gyarados formed a double water blast. Registeel fired a Zap Cannon and Slicer fired an Ice Beam. Darkwing and Shimmer struck with two Air Slashes. Finally, Danny used the finishing move: a short burst of the Ghostly Wail, enough to cause a lot of damage to Vlad and still leave Danny with enough power.
Suddenly, Vlad blasted ghost energy back. But, it wasn't his normal purple ray. It was blue.
"He's weakening," shouted Danny, "Keep hammering him!"
All the Pokémon blasted Vlad, but he put up a shield and blocked most of the power.
"I may be weakened, but can still blast you all!" he shouted, beginning to form a tornado out of ectoplasmic energy.
Suddenly, Vlad was frozen in a block of ice. Dani stood behind him, her body glowing a blue light.
"Dani! You've developed ice powers!" called out Danny.
"So that's why I've been feeling cold lately," she answered. Seeing the confused look on Danny's face, she added, "Didn't I mention that?"
"You've got to tell me stuff like that."
The ice holding Vlad started to crack. Then, it exploded off him.
"It won't do you any good," he said panting.
"Oh, shut up," came a voice. Spectre Dan walked out of the forest and over to Vlad.
"I hear you're a chess player," he said, "Well, look at the board. We have a small squadron of powerful creatures, plus two half-ghosts and a master swordsman, namely me. YOU have no other pieces left. You're low on power, hence the blue rays instead of purple ones. You're done. It's over."
"Why you-" but Vlad never finished his sentence, because Dan took something from his cloak and Vlad found himself being sucked into it.
"Checkmate," Dan said as he placed the cap on the Fenton Thermos.
"Where did you get that? And, how did you know how to work it?" asked Danny.
"Well, I found it by you when we found you in the first place. I figured it was important, so I kept it. But, I didn't get a chance to give it back to you in the hospital. After you told us about your powers, I guessed what it did and decided to keep it for a while. I guess I did the right thing. It gave us a secret weapon against Vlad. As for how I knew how it worked, I didn't. But, the controls were simple enough, so I could take an educated guess."
"You guessed?"
"Come now, 90% of science is trial and error. Now, let's get to Spear Pillar before something else goes wrong," said Dan as he knocked on a tree.
oOo
Inside the Fenton Thermos:
"Well, this is a rotten development," said Vlad, "And, to add insult to injury, it's cramped in here."
"You get used to it," came a voice.
"Oh no, don't tell me it's-"
"I am the Box Ghost! BEWARE!"
Vlad screamed more than he had since the time the Packers lost the Super Bowl.
