"Sceptile! Use Bullet Seed!" Ash commanded. Sceptile charged at Mr. Mime and shot a flurry of seeds at the possessed Pokémon. Mr. Mime swung its arm back and its palm started to glow. When the seeds were about to make contact, it double-slapped them back at Ash and Sceptile. "Damn! Quick Sceptile, dodge!" Ash yelled. They both jumped out of the way just in time as the seeds flew past them at a high velocity into a wall. The wall fell to pieces with a loud crash. Ash's eyes widened as he looked at the damaged. "I don't remember Mr. Mime being this strong at all…and I doubt my mom actually trained it while I was gone. It's like…infinite power. Can I beat it?" He stared back at Mr. Mime, who was grinning evilly at him again. "Mr. Mime! Please, you have to come to your senses! It's me, Ash! You have to remember who I am…who you are!" Ash pleaded.
Mr. Mime wasn't listening though as it charged at Ash, murder in its eyes. Its hands started to glowed again and were now inches away from Ash's face. Ash gasped and braced for impact, when his attacker was suddenly pushed down to the ground by a leaf-blading Sceptile. Opening his eyes, Ash looked down to see Mr. Mime half stuck in another patient's room (Well inside of the wall). He looked at his tall green friend and smiled. "Thank you Sceptile." The lizard nodded and they both ran back to help Gary, who was having his own trouble with the huge Steelix hovering above the helpless professor.
"What can we do to help?" He asked when he reached his rival. "Nothing…not yet. I can't risk it seeing as that huge thing could land on my gramps if we attack it." Babadi, who was floating above them all, was enjoying the sight of despair on their faces. "BAHAHAHAAHHA! Ohh you fools think you're actually about to win this battle? The only person who is leaving here with their life is me!" "You think so huh? Well I rather die than hand over my Umbreon to your disgusting, wrinkly ass." Gary snarled. Offended, Babadi snapped back, "Is that so? Well that can be arranged you insolent brat! Steelix, destroy them, and then snatch that Umbreon from his cold dead hands."
Steelix roared. It charged its megaton body at the two boys. "Blastoise, use Skull Bash against that huge monster!" Gary demanded. The huge turtle tucked in its head into its shell and waited for the metal snake to slither closer. Soon it was in range and Blastoise rammed its head into Steelix. There was a brief silence…then Blastoise fell back, roaring in agony. "What! Blastoise, are you okay!?" Gary yelled.
Babadi cackled. "Ha! You really thought that small head would affect my brilliant Steelix? Thanks to my magic, Steelix's power has dramatically increased! Your attacks are futile."
Gary winced. "I'm so sorry buddy. Return." He pulled out Blastoise's poke ball and the turtle was beamed back into its tiny home. Gary looked down at his Umbreon. The look on its face was a look of horror and quickly nestled into its trainer's chest. Gary shed a tear and held Umbreon tightly. "Don't worry. He's not going to take you….Ash! I could use your help over now!" Ash nodded. "Go Torkoal!" He threw a poke ball and the heavy fire tortoise landed in front of huge metal beast. The two Pokémon stared each other down as they prepare for a rematch.
"Okay, Torkoal, use flamethrower!" Ash yelled. Torkoal bellowed white smoke, and then shot a flaming hot stream of fire at Steelix. It struck on contact, hitting Steelix in its chest area and it groaned in pain. "Steelix, counter now!" Babadi commanded. Steelix obeyed and shot its DragonBreath attack back the flames from the fire turtle. They both collided furiously and in an instant exploded with a loud BANG, filling the room with white smoke.
"Gary! Now's your chance!" Ash said. "Go and get your grandfather, then run as fast as you can out of here with Umbreon. He can't see you in this smoke!" Gary nodded, but paused. "What about you Ashy Boy!?" "Don't worry about me! Just go, you idiot!" Ash said and pushed Gary towards his grandfather's bed.
"*Cough* *Cough* Jesus, all this smoke. I can't see a thing. I hope Gary and Ash are okay." Professor Oak said to himself. He was about to go back to laying down and being silent until he felt a tap, then a huge grab by someone. "Hey, Hey! Who's this?" He could make out a familiar figure in the smoke, but couldn't recognize who it was. Damn his fading memory. "It's me gramps!" yelled Gary. "C'mon! We don't have time! We got to get out of here while we can!" Professor Oak nodded, pulled the IV out of his arm, and got out of the bed and rushed out of the room with Gary and Umbreon.
The smoke finally cleared with Torkoal and Steelix still staring each other down. Neither one of them giving into the other's intimidating gaze. Ash took a quick glance around the room and breathed a sigh of relief that Gary and the Professor got the hell up out of there. He focused back on the fight and prayed to God that he could win this.
"Good work Steelix. Now break that turtle with your Iron Tail." Babadi sneered. Steelix raised its tail that shone a bright, slivery color and dropped it on Torkoal. "Quick, Iron Defense!" Ash countered. Torkoal retreated back into its shell and the shell glowed as the Iron Tail connected. It bounced back off the tortoises back. "Ha you think that pitiful excuse of defense will stop Steelix? Steelix, smash that turtle into bits with your Iron Tail! HAHAAHHAHA!" Steelix roared and started to rampage on Torkoal's shell.
At first, it seemed Torkoal was holding up fine…until Ash heard a long groan from inside the shell. The continuous bashings on the poor Torkoal's shell was cracking it. "Hahaha! Perfect! Keep going Steelix. You're going to shatter it any minute now!" Babadi instigated. He fell into a laughing fit, cackling and spitting everywhere. Ash growled as all he could do was watch as Torkoal was being pummeled. But Babadi just kept on laughing. He had to lie on top of the hospital bed just to relax…that is until he realized who wasn't in the bed…
"What the…Where is….WHERE IS HE!?" He looked around the room. No sign of him…also…there was no sign of Gary and Umbreon either…They must have escaped when he wasn't paying attention!
He looked at Ash…Damn that Brat!...He was probably the distraction while the other two slipped out with his Pokémon!
"Steelix! Stop your assault!" He commanded. He angrily looked at Ash. "How dare you trick me!? I, the great Babadi, cannot be fooled! I know you were only distracting me for those fools to escape and run out with my Umbreon!" Ash smirked. "About time you figured that out. You're pretty slow on the uptake, aren't you?" Babadi growled. "Damn you! Steelix, use dig! Go through every floor and find them! I want my Pokémon NOW!"
Steelix growled and stared at the severely injured Torkoal. It then jumped up and dived into the hospital floor/ceiling and tunneled through the bottom floors, terrorizing dozens of people on the way down. Ash heard the screams of the people and gave a Babadi a pissed off look. "Why do you have to hurt innocent people? These people have done nothing wrong to you!" Babadi turned his back to Ash. "Be quiet! You will pay for your deceit. I don't have time for that right now though. I must claim my prize…Next time, however, your life is mine." And with that, Babadi disappeared…
Ash ran up to Torkoal. He could tell he was injured beyond belief. "Don't worry buddy." He said with tears in his eyes. "We'll go back to Brock and he'll have fixed up in a jiffy." Torkoal nodded in pain. "Ok return. You too, Sceptile. Good work, you two." Two beams of light later, they were back in their homes.
"I got to catch up with Gary and Professor Oak now." Ash thought to himself. "Hopefully, they got out by now." He began but the building began to shake. "Damnit. It's Steelix. That psycho is going to level the whole building with it before he finds Umbreon…I got to go." He found the stairs and ran down hoping he reaches them soon.
Gary was totally out of breath. His panting was heavy and he didn't know if he could go on anymore. Running through lobbies and hallways was tiring. Especially avoiding the doctors and nurses that were taking patients and running from…this other thing he felt. It was the reason why the building was shaking. But the stairs were the other way…so why was everyone running away from there. He could tell the building could give way any minute now and prayed he; Umbreon, gramps…and Ash get out safe and sound. Then he saw it…he saw the one that terrified the hell out of him at this moment in time. It made him stop dead in his tracks. He realized why the people weren't taking the stairs.
"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?" Gary screamed. A big hole was blocking his way to the other side. "What are we going to do now gramps?" Professor Oak stared and assessed the situation. "Well….we're going to have to jump Gary." Gary looked back at his grandfather in horror. "You can't be serious. Do you not see how big that hole is? If we jump we die!" Professor Oak put his hand on Gary's shoulder. "If we stay here, we die and Umbreon gets taken away by a mad man Gary…We have to do this." Gary looked down at Umbreon, who gave him a 'We can do this' kind of look and Gary nodded. "Okay let's do this. You first gramps."
Professor Oak agreed and he braced his self. He got a running start and leaped over to the other side with a big huff. "Haha these old bones still got some fight left in them. " He exclaimed. "Okay gramps. I'm going to throw Umbreon over to you now!" Gary yelled. Oak nodded and with strong throw Umbreon was over to the other side with the old man. "Good job Gary. Okay it's your turn."
Gary was about to run and jump when he heard someone come running down the stairs.
"Gary, you're still here!" It was Ash. "I thought you would have been out by now! Why aren't you?" Gary, a little annoyed, pointed to the huge hole that has been his obstacle for a couple of minutes now. "We're trying to get over. So if you would please not get in the way Ashy boy." Ash nodded and Gary pulled back and began to run again.
He was to jump into the air when the building shook violently again. It was a bigger tremor than before. It made him lose his concentration and he tripped and fell into the hole!
"GARY!" Ash and Oak yelled. Afraid and frantic, they ran over to the whole to find that Gary hadn't fell all the way as he was hanging onto a pipe that was hanging from the floor/ceiling they were standing on. "Shit. Shit. Shit." Gary cursed. "This is not okay at all. Help me please!" Ash laughed. "Haha. Hold on. We'll get you in a second." He reached down to his friend so he could grab his hand, when another tremor shook. This one was awfully close. Then Steelix slammed through the floor behind Ash, knocking him into the hole also. Before he fell all the way, he quickly grabbed onto Gary and held on for dear life. "So much for helping me huh, Ashy boy?" Ash groaned. "Shut up. I think Babadi is back."
"You are right, you pompous idiot," snarled the short magician. "I am back. And now that I found you, I will be taking Umbreon." Angry, Oak snapped."You're the idiot if you think we're going to let you do that." "Yeah!" Gary added. "What he said." (He would have taken his own words more seriously if Ash wasn't pulling on his pants to where his ass was showing.) "Hahaha. You think so huh? Well I'm sick of you and your friends interfering with my plans. Time to die!" Babadi sneered. Ash and Gary gasped as they saw Mr. Mime above their heads. "Now Mr. Mime. Attack that old man with Psychic. Full force!"
The pink mime listened and sent a wave of telekinetic force at the professor. "GAHH!" Oak said as he flew against the wall and was knocked unconscious, dropping Umbreon on the floor.
Ash and Gary gasped as they heard Oak go down. Gary's hands grew red with anger and frustration at the fact that he was helpless. "Damn you!" He yelled. Babadi smirked. "You're turn now. Bye."
The last thing Gary and Ash saw was Mr. Mime sending them down into oblivion and Babadi grabbing Umbreon into his evil grasp.
Goku was sunbathing on the beach with his friends and family when suddenly…
"Hey Goku! Can you hear me?" A strange voice said. Goku looked up to see who was calling him. "Who was that...Hey Chi-Chi? Did you hear somebody call me?"
"I wasn't listening Goku. I was talking to your new daughter-in-law. Maybe you should show some respect and join us!" Chi-Chi said. "No it's okay. I'm good." Goku said and closed his eyes again.
"Hey Goku! Wake your lazy butt up! It's me, King Kai!" the strange voice said again. Goku sat straight up. "Ohh Hey King Kai! Haven't talked to you in awhile!" King Kai snorted. "Yeah, I know. You act like you don't know me anymore since you gone and met the Supreme Kai, and now you're alive and all…jerk. But that's not why I called! We have some serious trouble brewing!"
Goku's face turned serious. "What kind of trouble?"
