POKEMON TINT AND SHADE

Episode 7: The Quest for Rotom Part II

Previously on Pokémon Tint and Shade…

After releasing Rotom from the cursed television, Tint and Trubbish head toward the new Gym of Limestone Island. They find out it is an illusion created by Rotom to conceal them. The illusion wears off, and Tint and Shade begin to battle. The battle isn't looking too well, and Fin and Diana are having no luck with finding Rotom. What will be the ultimate fate of Limestone Island?!

"Go! Slaking!" Tint shouted.

"SLAKKKK!" shouted Slaking when it came out of the Pokeball.

"I would've gone with Magmar if I were, but be as it may…"

"Slaking use Hammer Arm!"

"SLAAAKIIING!" Slaking shouted as it brought its glowing fist down on Shiftry.

"SHIFT!" Shiftry gracefully moved out of the way.

Oh no! Tint thought, it missed! And Slaking has to rest before he can attack again after using Hammer Arm!

"Ahahahaha!" Shade laughed. "That was the worst move you could possibly make!"

"It's not my fault I didn't know Shiftry were fast!" Tint shouted.

"Oh really?" Tint said. "Shiftry use Leaf Blade!"

"SHIIIIIFTRYYYY!" Shiftry said as its leaf fans began to glow and strike Slaking.

"Shiftry finish it!" commanded Shade. "Use Metal Claw!"

"SHIIIIFFFT!" Shiftry struck Slaking and Slaking fell to the ground.

"Slaking return," said Tint, returning Slaking to its Pokeball.

"Send out your last Pokémon," said Shade.

"I'd rather not," answered Tint. "I'm going to need Magmar for something much more important."

"Might I ask what that would be?" Shade asked.

"Well, since you asked nicely," Tint turned around. "I need Magmar to fight Rotom!"

Tint walked away.

Tint caught up with Fin and Diana.

"Have you had any luck with finding Rotom yet?" Tint asked them.

"I'm afraid not," answered Diana, shaking her head.

"It's a surprise it hasn't started tearing apart the island yet," said Fin.

"Maybe it's not as bad as everyone thinks it is," Tint said.

"You're wrong," Fin said.

"I'm going out to prove that Rotom can be good!" Tint said.

Tint stormed. It wasn't long before Trubbish found him.

"Tint, I believe that what you say is true!" Trubbish said.

"About Rotom?" Tint asked.

"Of course!" Trubbish answered. "I mean, if I was locked away in a TV for 100 years, I would want to tear something apart too!"

"Thank you, that's really helpful," Tint said sarcastically.

"But it is," Trubbish said.

They heard a crash from somewhere on the island.

"Let's go!" Tint said to Trubbish. They took off towards the sound.

"YOU WILL ALL PAY!" said Rotom's voice as a huge lightning bolt struck a house.

"Oh no!" Tint said. Tint ran towards the house that was struck. "Slaking, look for anyone in there!"

Slaking went into the rubble as it came out of the Pokeball.

Tint turned around.

"ROTOM!" Tint called to Rotom.

Rotom turned around to see Tint.

"Oh, you," Rotom said. Rotom came down to Tint. "I never got to thank you for releasing me from that TV."

"Save the thanking for when you realize the good in you," Tint remarked.

"Seems like I don't need to thank you," said Rotom. "People gone insane don't need thank yous!"

"Rotom I challenge you to battle!" Tint said.

"I accept."

Tint ran farther away from Rotom. Tint stopped.

"Go! Magmar!" Tint sent Magmar out of its Pokeball.

"MAAAAAG!" said Magmar coming out.

"Magmar use Ember!" Tint shouted.

"MAAAAAGMAAR!" a flurry of burning coals.

Rotom got out of the way and shot a wave of electricity towards Magmar.

"Magmar hang in there!" Tint said. "Magmar use Superpower!"

Magmar jumped up after a running start and let loose a Superpower on Rotom.

"Ack," Rotom fell to the ground, totally terrestrial.

Tint heard scuffling and the sound of running.

"What the heck is that?" Tint asked.

Many men in strange brown suits came running into the clearing.

That's the exact same uniform I saw when I left the Professor's Lab, Tint thought.

One of them came over to Tint. "We'll be taking this here Rotom, now!"

One came over with some kind of machine. The machine split in two and they placed a piece on either side of Rotom.

"What are you doing," Rotom asked.

One of them started up the machine. It began to make a buzzing sound.

"Wait, who are you people!?" Tint asked.

One turned around. "We are members of Team Quake," he answered. "If we told you any more we'd have to imprison ourselves."

The machine began to shock Rotom with a red electricity.

"Stop!" Tint said. "You're hurting it!"

"That's the plan."

A see-through metal concealed Rotom. Electricity continued to shock Rotom. The group brought Rotom into a helicopter.

"Wait, come back!" Tint called.

"SLLAAAK!" said Slaking from behind Tint.

"Oh there you are!" Tint said. "Did you find anyone inside that house?"

Slaking shook its head.

"Slaking return!"

Tint took off towards the direction the helicopter went.

After ten minutes of running, Tint arrived at a large cave with the helicopter parked outside.

Tint ran inside, totally exhausted.

Inside, the members of Team Quake were writhing as Rotom writhed in pain behind a glass case.

"What's going on here!?" Tint asked.

"Get him out here!" a grunt said.

A few grunts grabbed Tint by the arms.

"No! Let him go!" a man came into the room.

"As you wish, General," a grunt let go of Tint's arm.

"If you must know," the general said. "We are extracting Rotom's essence."

"Why do you want to do that?" Tint asked.

"This Rotom," the general said, putting his hand on the case. "Is very special. It can talk and create illusions. Its essence is very strong."

"I see..." Tint said. "Get them, guys!"

Tint's Pokémon ran into the cave. Things were lit on fire, lightning flew everywhere, and grunts were knocked aside.

Tint ran over to the case and, using a Pokeball, he broke open the case. Tint reached into the case and pulled Rotom out of the case.

"But why?" Rotom asked.

"Because—Ahh!" Tint was sucked into the case and began to have his essence sucked out.

"What are we going to do about Rotom!?" a grunt asked.

"Leave them," the general said, walking towards the helicopter. "We'll have our chance some other time."

Team Quake took off.

Rotom flew over to the machine that held Tint captive. Rotom began to electrocute it.

"Why—are—you—doing this?" Tint asked.

"You saved my life!" Rotom answered. "Now I'm going to save yours!"

"Th—thank you!" Tint said.

Rotom unleashed all its electricity on the machine. The red shock ceased, and Tint fell to ground.

"You saved my life," Tint said.

"We saved each other!"

Over the next day, Tint saw Rotom helping around the island.

"Well, hello Tint!" said Diana as Tint came in. "I was wondering when you would show up."

"Yeah, me too!" Tint said, a big happy grin streaked across his face. "Say, is Fin around?"

"Yeah, I'm here," Fin said, coming down the stairs.

"Fin," Tint said. "I was hoping you would take me up on my offer."

"For the Gym battle?" Fin asked.

"For the Gym battle," Tint agreed.

"Of course," answered Fin, shaking his hand.

"I'll be the first," said Tint.

"When you go, dear, be sure to give Tint my regards!" said Tint's mother. "You'll probably find him on Limestone Island."

"Of course I will, Miss Grey!" said Neutral.
