Part 8

Jessie and James woke up first, moaning from the uncomfortable side effects inherent from sleeping on asphalt. James asks, "What…happened?" Jessie starts talking, "Uh, a…Jigglypuff…" The two snap awake and say together "A JIGGLYPUFF?" and start to wipe their faces. Slowly everyone wakes up and undoes Jigglypuff's vengeful artwork. Suddenly some loud snoring starts and they snap around to see Godzilla peacefully napping.

Ash muttered, "Whoa…I guess nothing can stay awake through Jigglypuff's song!" Godzilla started to stir and stretched out, the immediate result of which was the leveling of a building. Misty sighs and says, "I wish it would stop that, the town wasn't very big to start with!" Brock nods and says, "There's only about half of it left." Godzilla wearily opened its eyes, and yawned.

Godzilla's POV: What happened? Uh…groggy…ow, pain. All kinds of burns, headache, and bruises…what's going on? Wait…remembering…Pokemon!! Did I kill 'em yet? No…damn…not…a morning monster… Godzilla yawned again and curled up. Must wake up…want…coffee. Why'd I fall asleep? Little round Pokemon, pretty song…I feel nice. Very nice, it's a pretty day out. Godzilla brought itself up and shook off the sleepiness that seemed to refuse to leave. Godzilla looked into the mirror-like surface of a large building. What the?! He quickly rubbed off the giant marker streaks. Godzilla looked around, destruction…I did that…mad. I feel bad now…but I can't apologize, destroying things is what hundred plus foot tall monsters do. All I can do is not do anymore damage…

Ash looked at Godzilla heading for the ocean. Misty asked, "Is it over at last?" Godzilla answered with a roar, a turn and a wave before entering the water. Team Rocket's jaws drop, "ALL this build up? Suspense and battle…and…and we get…THIS? It just quits?! No end of the world, no desperate last move that saves the day? It just quits??" Brock shrugs and says, "I personally think it fits. Be glad it didn't do any more damage than what it did."

Jessie looks at Godzilla, his spines protruding from the water, just visible near the horizon. "Well, why don't we go back to routine?" Ash facefaults, "NOOO!!" "Prepare for trouble and make it double!" "To protect the world from devastation!" "To unite all peoples within our nation!" "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" "To extend our reach to the stars above!" "Jessie!" "James!" "Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!" "Surrender now or prepare to fight!" "Meowth! That's right!" Ash sighs, "You never learn do you?"

Just before tossing out their pokemon to do battle, they are interrupted. Nick Tatopolas, the main expert on Godzilla, asks a rather silly question, "Excuse me, have you seen a…friend of ours around here?" Ash asks, "What's he look like?" Randy, the goof-off of the team, answers, "Oh, a lizard about 30 stories tall, likes fish, levels buildings, that sort of thing." James jumps up and goes, "ooh, you're the crew of Godzilla the Animated series!" Jessie glares at him, hits him, then asks, "How would you know that?" Meowth sighs, "Don't you pay any attention to the cartoons he watches?" Jessie facefaults, "Well, I'm sort of above that sort of thing." James looks bummed out. Nick gets impatient and asks, "So have you seen Godzilla or not?" Everyone looks at him funny, "Well, he's kind of hard to miss don't you think?!" Randy says, "I take that as a yes. So, which way did he go?" James absentmindedly points in Godzilla's general direction. As they leave, Nick nods thanks and says, "Well time to get back to monster battling."

Jessie gets an evil look and runs to catch the Godzilla crew. "Hey, can you control Godzilla?" "Well, I can't force him to do anything but for the most part he listens to me. We've got him following some simple commands, he's really quite intelligent. Why?" Jessie gives a nasty sounding little laugh and says, "Only that my boss would LOOOVE to have him. Would you mind working for Team Rocket?" Nick looks confused and turns to Randy. Randy shakes his head and says, "Hey, no way! Team Rocket's the bad guys." Nick glares at Team Rocket, "You would use a one of a kind creature for world domination?" Jessie shrugs, saying "Our boss would use him for that, we'd just be rewarded for it is all." Nick throws his arm up in disgust. Jessie looks a bit confused and James explains, "He's a bit of a goodie-goodie. He's sort of attached to Godzilla and is always keeping people from either shooting or using him for evil." Jessie glares at him again and pulls out a mallet, James runs but Jessie doesn't move for him, instead heading for the Godzilla crew. "You're coming whether you want to or not!!" Then a huge explosion rocked them. In the distance Cinnabar island is aflame.

Meanwhile Godzilla is swimming along, happy as a clam. He then realizes something is wrong with this whole situation. "I feel all nice and warm inside…" Godzilla slowed down. "I feel all nice and warm inside…" He stops, "I feel all NICE and warm inside…and it's…" Godzilla turned back towards Seafoam, "…and it's…REALLY PISSING ME OFF!!" "I am Godzilla, King of Monsters, destroyer of cities, kicker of countless asses, I DO NOT feel NICE and WARM inside…EVER!!"

Everyone looked in terror as mysterious lightning bolts ravaged Cinnabar. It was very clear out and the lightning originated from only a few hundred feet above the buildings. Then a three headed golden dragon came into view. It was larger than Godzilla and flew down onto the beach of Seafoam.

King Ghidorah, an old rival of Godzilla and his greatest enemy, surveyed the are. He had been here all right, but now he was gone, city left only half destroyed. Ghidorah snarled, Godzilla always was too soft, he rarely even destroyed the whole city. Ghidorah was another matter though, he hated other life, and never left while anything was visibly alive.

Everyone ducked as a lightning bolt blasted through three buildings and tore apart a road. The crew of Godzilla moved closer with their laser rifles and blasted Ghidorah fiercely. The guns hardly had any effect on most monsters they met, and Ghidorah didn't even seem to feel them. It looked down at the human group, there was a species Ghidorah loathed. So small and insignificant, they bred faster than could be believed an always tried to harm Ghidorah to no avail, they never learned to accept doom. Ghidorah didn't like to spend much energy on something so puny, so with a flick of its strangely beautiful gold wing it created a wind that blew the few humans and Pokemon still on Seafoam around and blew detachable bits of buildings all over.

Before Ghidorah could let loose a barrage that would destroy what was left of the island, the former enemy arrived. An impressive section of sea departed as Godzilla thundered onto the land. Ghidorah and Godzilla exchanged looks that plainly said, YOU. Godzilla blasted Ghidorah with his fire breath, it caused Ghidorah's skin to sizzle, but didn't really harm the space monster. Ghidorah retaliated with three lightning bolts that pushed Godzilla back and nearly tipped him over. Godzilla roared and charged, barreling into Ghidorah at high speed. The impact was rather unimpressive as Ghidorah barely tottered back and Godzilla fell back from the recoil. Godzilla shook his head and moved towards Ghidorah again, swinging his fists he punched the galactic terror several times to no avail. Ghidorah used its heads to sort of punch Godzilla, knocking him flat on his back. As the lizard king got back up Ghidorah used its snake-like necks to entangle the dinosaur and strangle him.

Meanwhile, the battle had scared most everybody. Ash, Misty, Brock, Jessie, James, and their Pokemon had seen Godzilla effectively maim just about every Pokemon in existence. They hadn't thought Godzilla could possibly have any superiors in power, and here he was losing. Nick, and the "H.E.A.T." Team were definitely worried, they'd never seen Godzilla so overpowered. Giovanni saw things differently though, assured dominance. He said, "With both of them under my control, the world will be mine as long as I live!" Some members complained that they couldn't even catch Godzilla with multiple master balls, what was the hope of ever catching the gold dragon that over powered him, much less both? Giovanni answered, "Fools, you think in such conventional terms. What I have planned will bring both monsters under my control!" Rocket members backed up a little, worried that their boss had just flipped.

Godzilla flamed Ghidorah fiercely, but while being held by Ghidorah's necks he only succeeded in frying them both. Ghidorah tossed Godzilla away as its skin started to burn. Godzilla rammed Ghidorah again, merely ricocheting off again. Ghidorah blasted lightning, but Godzilla danced around it, ran away, hopped up on a building and leapt off. Godzilla flew through the air gracefully as he turned sideways and put out an elbow. Crashing into the destroyer of worlds, both monsters came down in a jumble. Lightning bolts and fire blasts shot out from the ensuing dust cloud.

While watching the battle Jessie nabbed Pikachu without warning and started to run. Ash chased after her, screaming to let Pikachu go, and everyone chased after him. Jessie had on a rubber suit and ran into a power plant, Ash followed without hesitation up to the roof where she brought Pikachu. He found her doing something very…odd, she was talking to Pikachu.

"Alright, mouse, I have a plan. We've seen you super charged before, if we can channel all the electricity in the city through you, we have a good chance of frying that thing."

Ash screamed at her, "WHAT?! You're trying to kill my Pikachu now?! How dare you suggest running that kind of power through it!!"

Jessie just smacked him and asked, "do you have a better plan?"

James, Misty and Brock came in and the argument increased.

Godzilla and Ghidorah, fighting nearly non-stop since the sixties, were still at it. Ghidorah was confident, Godzilla had never beaten it and it told Godzilla several times. Godzilla was continually getting angrier, he never could hurt Ghidorah that much. The huge creatures didn't notice as all lights and everything else went out in the city. It was just starting to get dark as the sun started to set. Godzilla grabbed Ghidorah's heads and threw it with incredible force.

Conveniently the space dragon crashed through the 'roof' of Giovanni's underground hideout. Many of the remaining rockets fled, where washed out to sea, or buried. Being cartoons none of them died, but it did cause a massive disbanding of Team Rocket, Giovanni's scheme was never put into play as he was washed away. He managed to resurface and be the 8th gym leader Ash had to fight, but that all is kind of irrelevant right now.

The two huge monsters were locked in mortal combat when they noticed the eerie glow. The sun couldn't be coming up already, but it seemed to be day. Ghidorah flew a little ways off the ground as it looked at the intense light. Standing in the center was a little rodent, slowly draining an entire city of power…

"PIKACHU!!"

One of the most powerful surges of electricity that will ever be seen leapt at King Ghidorah. The huge blast blew Ghidorah back considerably and the electricity exploded as it tried to find a way to the ground, which it couldn't as Ghidorah was air borne. The huge monster fell to the ground, shaking in random convulsions. Godzilla took advantage and barreled into his enemy, tossing Ghidorah into the ocean--not a good thing for Ghidorah. After the electric aftershock finished Godzilla jumped at it again and pushed it under the water.

Ash was holding Pikachu, very worried about his best friend. Pikachu had passed out after being an amplifier/director of so much electricity. Brock used a super potion on it, and Pikachu soon woke up with a happy "Pika!" Everyone sighed in relief as the little mouse woke up. Meowth grinned and said, "Aren't you glad we found this Pikachu? No other one could do that!" Jessie and James nodded, agreeing that this proved its worth even further. Ash went postal and smacked them at light speed with Jessie's own mallet and yelled, "STOP TRYING TO STEAL PIKACHU!!"

Ghidorah bolted, simple as that, the huge, nigh-unstoppable terror flew off into space. He was losing to Godzilla because of outside interference yet again. No matter, one day it would be resolved.

Epilogue:

Godzilla and the HEAT Team returned to their home and Ash and Pikachu agreed to visit the show one or two times to help get ratings. Team Rocket basically crumbled after the blows delivered to it, not to say it won't come back though. Meowth met up with Cassandra again, she was running a mobile help center that was helping to heal Pokemon all around the world after the attacks. Meowth didn't really stay long, but they were traveling companions a while. Cinnabar's gym was relocated after Ghidorah's attack, and Ash beat Blaine, earning the Volcano Badge--after that Charizard obeyed him for the most part, although common belief is that respect came more from surviving Godzilla than the badge... And what else is there? Oh yes, Jessie and James. They're sort of "in between jobs" you could say, looking for something to do now that Team Rocket is disbanded.
