"Here we go again." Said Jack, looking at the water. "I should have known this would happen from the beginning. At least we don't have to worry about those weird enemies who pop out of the ground." Pikachu nods twice. Jack looks up ahead on the other side and said, "That must be our way through. We'll just have to get across through the waters."
"But how are we going to get over there?" Ask Pikachu, "If we jump in the water, then those fiends will get us."
"Not a problem." Said Jack, looking at his Pikachu, "I have a plan that never fails. Watch this." Jack goes to the edge, and then jumps a gap to a platform. "We'll be jumping on stones. Well, maybe platforms." Jack jumps on the next gap, and Pikachu follows by jumping over a gap.
"Jack, I don't know. Don't you think it's risky?" Ask Pikachu.
"Pikachu," Jack said, "Just follow my lead, and we'll be okay. Mario Style!" Pikachu jumped another gap, and gets on Jack's right shoulder.
Here comes Mario's own kind of jumping game, just like how Jack placed that leaping game over at the Pok'emon Pride Fair with Jena. Jack jumps over the gap to the right, and jumps over a gap to the left.
"See? Easy." Said Jack. He walks to the ledge, but jumps over another gap to the left. Follow the path by going straight and right, and jumped another gap. He jumps over another gap on the right, and follows a path.
"Dead end." Said Pikachu. Jack jumps over a gap to the left, and another to the left. But over a gap by a diagonal jump, and jumped to the other side.
"Hey! How's that?" Jack said, doing his victory pose. "I need to do that again." He goes up to the door, and said, "See you later, Feraligatr." And then went through the door and into the next room with Pikachu.
Jack and Pikachu came into a small room, but an entry with a ladder. "Again?" Ask Pikachu.
"Looks like it." Jack replied. Jack and Pikachu climb down the ladder, and end up in a small room. They looked around, and around a door. "Piece o' cake." They go through the door, and end up in an "X" room like before at the first floor. "This room again?"
"This never gets old." Said Pikachu. Suddenly, they felt something sticky on the floor. Jack and Pikachu looked at the floor and felt disgusted. "EWW! What is this?"
Jack was surprised. The things on their foot feel like jelly, and it has two eyes. "Pikachu." Jack said.
"Yes?" Ask Pikachu.
"…We're in trouble." Said Jack. They're alive, and four little jelly like fiends appeared from the floor and attack. Jack pulled out two pok'e balls, throws them in the air and shouted, "I summon you guys!" Two pok'e balls release Growlithe and Mankey again, and all four were ready to fight.
"What are they?" Pikachu said, surprised.
"Fiends?" Ask Jack. "They don't look that much hard.
Pikachu first starts to charge up electricity, storing up power, and then attacks with a Thundershock on the first jelly fiend. "PIKACHU!" That's a good hit, but it's still standing. "Okay, that didn't help."
Mankey starts to charge at the first little jelly, and then Low Kicks the fiend. It didn't do much.
"Okay, that didn't work when I first tried it." Said Jack. But he remembers something. "Wait a minute. They're not jellies. They're 'Flans!' Jelly fiends, I should have known! No wonder my sword never worked for the first time." He turns away and thought, "Yeah, like I could have picked a different type. Since when did flans appear out of nowhere?"
Growlithe starts to inhale its breath, and then blows fire at the flan.
Jack was surprised and shouted, "Growlithe! No!" Too late, Growlithe released an Ember attack on the first flan. It seems that the first flan absorbed Growlithe's ember attack. "Oh boy. We're in trouble. Fire Flans."
But Jack thinks quickly, and pulls out a card. He calls, "I summon you! Sorceresses of the Elements!" Dark Magician appeared, and Jack commands, "Dark Magician! Use Dark Magic Attack on the flans!" Dark Magician performs a black magic attack, and hits all the flans. That destroyed all the flans for good.
There are no fiends left, Jack and his pok'emon won the battle. Jack found ten Gils on the ground, and picked them up. Jack felt so exhausted; he almost fell to the ground.
"Jack, are you okay?" Ask Pikachu, worried.
"Yeah, I am fine." Said Jack, breathing, "Just catching my breath. I must have wasted my entire mystic on the summoning cards, I almost feel fainted."
"But we're standing." Said Pikachu, "At least we know what they are. Fire Flans."
"Yeah." Said Jack, standing up, "We'll have to be careful. I think any of my pok'emon is a water type but Psyduck. He can't do any water attacks. And since I'm almost running out of magic, I'm afraid we're out of luck." He looks around the room, and saw doors. "We need to find a place to rest."
"We can't go that way." Pikachu said, pointing to the door at the right. "It's locked up."
"Then we're ganna have to risk it all." Said Jack, and he goes to the door down the hall. "Let's head this way." They enter through the door Jack opened, and end up in a small room, but found a saving point. Jack smiled and said, "Lucky me."
"What luck." Said Pikachu, "It's a saving spot we needed."
"Great." Said Jack, and he touches it, "Now let's take a resting spot and…" But the moment Jack touches the saving point, it started to flash white, and something happened.
Jack and his pok'emon end up in a white room, and it looks like the same Empire Room as they came into before. There are white flowers everywhere; the floor is silver solid, and a silver door.
"Are we?" Ask Pikachu, "Dreaming? Or is this?"
"I think we are." Said Jack, looking around, "This is the Empire's Castle."
"And you guys decided to come back to place without even asking?" Ask a voice, "How rude."
Jack and his pok'emon surprised. Both Jack and Pikachu said, "Empire Jack!"
A figure that looks like Jack but wearing a black cloak appears out of Jack's body. He looks at his real self and said, "Do you have to speak out loud?" He covered his ear, "I haven't told you about this. That saving point is directed to my home.
"Whenever you find such a thing, you come into this place. It's like getting away from your troubles, and coming back here someday."
"Sorry, Empire Jack," Jack said, "I thought maybe if we can rest here, we can restore our strength, and get back to our duty. Can you offer us a place to rest?"
"…I would love help." Empire Jack said, but he turns away and said, "But I can't." Jack and his pok'emon were surprised.
"Hey! Why not!" Jack shouted.
Empire Jack looks at Jack and said, "Because it's not my duty to let the 'Dreamer' sleep in my place. It won't work. You'll have to sleep in the dream world, not in my palace." Jack looks down, upset. "Hey! Don't be sad. Since you found a place to come, you can come here anytime like this is a teleporting spot." Jack and Pikachu were surprised.
"Just make sure you boys don't cause any trouble, because this is the only place I have to live in. Promise me you won't tell anyone about the teleporting spot you found on your travels. I can't bring guests, but only you and your pok'emon. Do you understand?"
Jack nods. "I understand."
"Very good. You can head back to Omi Village, and rest there in the Inn. I'll stay in your body." Empire Jack then goes back inside of Jack's body, and Jack returns Growlithe and Mankey back into their pok'e balls. He puts them away, and found a warp spot to go to Omi Village. Jack and Pikachu stand on it, and they disappear straight to Omi Village.
The hot air, the yellow hand, and the walls; Jack and Pikachu have returned back to Omi Village, but they're in the back alley, and they can come back here to return back to the mission. Jack and Pikachu head off to find an Inn, and found a building.
"One room please." Said Jack, and the owner said back to Jack.
"That would be Fifty Gils, please?" Ask the owner. Jack gives the owner fifty Gils, and the owner gives Jack a room key. Jack turns around, and does his pose.
An alarm clock rung the bell, but Jack and Pikachu are still asleep in bed. Jack has a bubble on the nose to represent that he's still sleeping. But the bubble popped, and Jack woke up. Pikachu woke up, and both Jack and Pikachu got out of bed and go back to their adventure.
"Now that's better." Said Jack. "That teleporting thing really came in handy." He and his Pikachu head out of the Inn, back to the alley, into the warp sphere, inside the Empire's Palace, and back inside the Spirit Temple. Back inside the Spirit with the small room, they will continue their adventure.
"Here we go again." Said Pikachu, looking at Jack, "I guess this adventure is getting harder and harder."
"Pikachu, let's make the best of it." Said Jack. "We're almost there, and if we keep this, we'll get even more stronger, and I will never let Yami down." Jack and Pikachu head out of the room, and back into the "X" room again.
But then, more of those red flans appeared again. Jack and Pikachu were surprised, and Jack pulled out two pok'e balls.
"Here we go again." Said Pikachu, prepared to fight. "How many are there?"
"About four." Jack replied, and he threw his pok'e balls in the air. "Growlithe! Mankey! Come on out!" Growlithe and Mankey appeared out of their pok'e balls, and prepared themselves to fight. There are four red flans in battle.
"Pikachu, your Thundershock worked on them before. Maybe if you can do it again, you'll stun them."
"Works for me." Said Pikachu, and he starts to charge electricity, and then blast a Thundershock attack on the first red flan. That did some electrocuting. "Do you have a plan or some kind?"
"I'm thinking." Said Jack, and he looks at his Growlithe, "Growlithe, remember. Don't use your ember attack." But then, Mankey gets in front of Growlithe and Jack. Jack was surprised. "! You want to fight?" Mankey nods at Jack. "Then use Karate Chop." Mankey charges at the first red flan, and chops the red flan. That did critical damage. But it's still jiggle and didn't effect.
"Mankey?"
"It didn't work." Said Jack, surprised. "Remember, they're very strong of defense. I don't think my bomb would work against them." Growlithe starts to charge at the first red flan, and Bite him hard. It didn't do much, because it's still hard as ever. "You did your best. Now it's my turn." Jack pulls out a card, and called out a summoning. "I summon you, Sorceresses of the Elements! Summon Dark Magician!"
A figure as Dark Magician appeared again, and performs a dark magic attack on all the flans. A powerful dark attack destroys all the red flans.
There are no fiends left, Jack and his pok'emon won the battle. Jack found ten Gils on the ground and picked them up.
"Uh, Jack…" Pikachu said.
"I know, Pikachu." Jack said, worried, "I don't know if I'll keep this up. The flans are fire, and we don't have something to cool them down." He pulled out his pok'e balls, and said, "Return you guys. You did great." Growlithe and Mankey have return back into their pok'e balls, and Jack puts them away. "Let's get moving. We're running out of time."
Jack and Pikachu go to the door on the left, and enter through. But then, there are little shadows again. "…Again?" Ask Pikachu, surprised.
"Again." Said Jack, "But they're about to do it in different order." Jack pulled out his pok'e balls, and threw them. "Guys! Here we go again!" Jack summoned Growlithe and Primape out again. Everyone got into position to fighting, and then the battle begins. "Alright, guys! Now holding back! This is our chance to shine!"
Pikachu starts to charge up electricity, and then release a Thundershock on the first little red shadow. Next, Primape charges at the second little red shadow, and Karate chops the monster. That did so much damage; the second little red shadow is defeated and falls to the ground. Next, Growlithe inhale its breath, and then blows out an ember attack on the first little blue shadow.
That so power, it did double damage on the first little blue shadow, it falls to the ground, defeated. And finally, Jack pulls out a card and said, "Bomb Card." He throws it at the little shadows. It caused an explosion, it did maximum damage do the little blue shadows. The little blue shadows are gone, but the little red shadows enjoyed. But it wasn't enough cover to do explosive damage to the little yellow shadows.
Now the little shadows go so mad, they start to attack. Three little red shadows starts to cast a Fire spell, and blast a three-spell attack on Pikachu, Jack, and Mankey. They figured out that Growlithe is a fire type, and won't harm it. Jack, Pikachu, and Mankey were hit by the Fire attack.
"Ugh!"
"Pika!"
"Mankey!" But it seems Jack, Pikachu, and Mankey toughen it because they have very hard spell defense. Next, the little yellow shadows perform a four-spell attack of Thunder on all four. Jack, Pikachu, Growlithe, and Mankey were hit by the Thunder attack. But Pikachu was hit less.
"Dough!"
"Grow!"
"Mankey!" But it seems that Jack, Pikachu, Growlithe, and Mankey were able to toughen the spell effect. It seems that Mankey is getting madder by the minute from taking too many hits.
Now, Pikachu starts to charge at the first little red shadow, and tackles it hard. That did pretty good damage. Next, Mankey charges at the third little red shadow, and then Karate chops the pest. That did critical damage. Now only it did powerful damage, but also that powerful critical attack destroy the third little red shadow.
Growlithe charges at the first little red shadow, and then bites it very hard. It did good damage, and hard to bite.
Jack pulls out a card and said, "Bomb Card". A bomb appeared on Jack's right hand, and throws it at the fiends. "Bombs away!" BOOM! It exploded at the little shadows. But it seems the little red shadows enjoyed it. The little yellow shadows are destroyed and gone for good. There are only two left.
The first and last little red shadows focus their Fire spell, and cast it on Jack and Pikachu. Jack and Pikachu took a big hit.
"Agh!"
"Cha!" But it seems that Jack and Pikachu toughen the first spell. Pikachu charges at the first little red shadow, and then Quick Attacks the pest. The first little red shadow becomes destroyed and falls to the ground.
And finally, Mankey charges at the last little red shadow, and Karate chops the little pest. That did critical damage, and defeats the last little red shadow. There are no more fiends left, Jack and his pok'emon won the battle. Mankey is becoming strong. Jack found thirty Gils on the ground, and picked them up.
"Phew." Said Jack, exhausted. "And I thought they would never stop." He pulled out two pok'e balls, and said, "Return you two. You two were amazing. I'm really proud of you guys." Growlithe and Mankey were return back into their pok'e balls, and Jack puts them away.
"So where to?" Ask Pikachu.
"Let's head into the next room." Said Jack, and both Jack and Pikachu enter inside the next room. When they came inside the next room, they just found a barrel. "…A what? Is this a jester's joke?"
"I wonder." Said Pikachu. He charged up enough electricity, and shocks the barrel. The barrel becomes alive! It popped out big spider legs, and wants to fight. "Did I startle it?"
"I think you just did, and it wants to fight us." Said Jack, and he pulled out two pok'e balls. "Summoning! Growlithe! I need your help! Psyduck!" Growlithe appeared again, and then a yellow duck with a bad headache appeared.
"Psy?"
"Is it some kind of Barrel Spider?" Ask Pikachu, "Or is it just me."
"It's a Barrel Spider." Jack replied.
Pikachu starts to charge at it with a Quick Attack. He tackled the barrel so hard, it's still standing. "What is that guy made of?" Ask Pikachu.
Next, Growlithe inhale its breath, and blows an Ember at the Barrel Spider. It got burned real badly, and since it's in a barrel, the Barrel Spider becomes burned. And third, Jack pulls out his sword, and attacks.
"Hu! Agh! Fra! YA!" Jack shouted, attacking. Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! The Barrel Spider becomes destroyed. There isn't another Barrel Spider left, so Jack and his pok'emon won a battle.
"Well, that was pretty pathetic." Said Pikachu, annoyed. "How are these Barrel Spiders, I mean, one Barrel Spider supposed to fight if we're around?"
"No idea." Said Jack, "But something tells me this adventure is getting harder by the minute." Jack goes up to the door and opens it. He and his pok'emon enter through the door, and inside a small room. There, lying in the middle of the room is a small treasure chest. "…A treasure chest." He goes up to the treasure chest, and looks at it. "I guess we earn a reward for coming this far."
"What's inside?"
Jack opens the treasure, and then something horror happens. Jack jumps, and then a long tall monster appeared that looks like a centipede appeared out of the treasure chest. "WHOA!" It has a big head of the black centipede, an antenna, but has those pots with spider legs as a body, and two spike long tail. It moves around the room, and gobbles up Pikachu fast.
"CHAAAA!!" Pikachu shrieked.
"Pikachu!" Jack shouted, surprised. He pulled out one pok'e ball, and throws it. "I'm coming on! Hang on!" He summoned out a small pok'emon with a bulb on its back, Bulbasaur. "Guys! This way!" Bulbasaur, Growlithe, and Psyduck follows Jack to chase down the giant black centipede.
"Jack! Jack!" Pikachu shouted, scared. "Help! There's no exit on this beast!"
"Hang on! We're coming!" Jack shouted. Then suddenly, the giant black centipede breaks through the door, and breaks through the locked door. It was so strong; it made a massage way to the next room, but a long hallway. "Pikachu!"
They made it to the next room, and prepared themselves to fight against the giant black centipede.
"Give me back my Pikachu, you bloody beast!" Jack shouted. First, Growlithe inhale its breath, and then blows out an Ember attack at the giant black centipede. It didn't do much damage because it has the pots as armor. "It's no good. We need to break those pots for good."
"Jack! Help!" Pikachu shouted, worried. "I don't know how to fight this thing inside!"
"Bulbasaur!" Jack commanded, "Use your Vine Whip to grab hold of the Antennas. I'll throw a bomb at its body." Jack pulls out a card and said, "Bomb Card." A bomb appeared on its hand, and throws it at the giant black centipede, "Give me back, Pikachu!" BOOM!
The explosion exploded on the monster, but it seems that it didn't low damage. "Let me out! Jack! Guys! Help!" Pikachu said, trying to break out.
Bulbasaur released a vine out of its body, and grabs the antennas. "Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur starts to whip that monster like crazy. It must of done good damage to the monster like it found a weak spot. "Saur! Saur! Saur! Bulbasaur!"
Psyduck charges towards the monster, and tries to do a scratch attack. "Psy! Psy! Psy!" But it's tough as nails. "PSY!"
"Tell me why I chose a Psyduck?" Ask Jack, covering his face like he's embarrassed.
"Jack! Help!" Pikachu cried, "I feel like Team Rocket has captured me again!" Now the monster is angry, and released its body. It seems that there are seven pots as the body, and now release two pots out. "Nah! What was that?"
"Hold on, Pikachu!" Said Jack, pulling out his sword. "There are mad pots everywhere!"
Growlithe starts to inhale its breath, and blows out an Ember attack on the first pot spider. It's working because they must be very weak pots.
Next, Jack charges at the big monster. "You guys get the pots. I'll handle the beast." He charges and shouts, "Give me back my Pikachu!" He attacks the giant black centipede with a four-slash combo. "Ha! Fra! Hu! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! "How 'bout that?" But it's still standing, and it's mad. "Oh boy."
Bulbasaur releases a Vine Whip attack at the first pot. With a lot of whipping, that did very much damage. And the first pot is destroyed. Now Psyduck charges at the second pot, and scratches it. It must be hard, but Psyduck scratched it well. It gives a victory sign.
But the Pot Centipede is very angry, and charges electricity on its antennas. "Hey! What's going on out there? What's it doing?" Pikachu shouted, trying to get out.
Jack was surprised. "Is that…Thundera?" It released a spark attack, and electrocutes Jack. Jack becomes electrocuted! "BUUUUGH! OW!" Jack can't move!"
Growlithe inhaled its breath all the way, and blows an ember attack at the second pot. The pot is hit by the flames, but still moving and on fire.
"Bulbasaur!" Said Bulbasaur, worried to Jack.
"I'm fine." Said Jack, covering him self. "That electrical attack must have made my body go numb." He looks a his Bulbasaur and said, "Bulbasaur, I can't move. You and the rest will have to take care of the beast while I recover my body. Use your Vine Whip on it, okay?"
Bulbasaur nods, and uses his Vine Whip attack. "Bulba! Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur is like a whipping machine, whipping the monster's head. It pretty good damage to the monster.
Now Psyduck charges at the last pot monster, and scratches it hard. The last Pot Spider like is destroyed.
The monster is more furious, and starts to spark its antenna again. "Guys! Be careful!" Jack said, "He'll make you guys numb just like me." The monster then begins to electrocute Growlithe. A power electrical attack hits Growlithe and Growlithe is stunned hard.
"Grow!" Growlithe said, stunned.
"This isn't good." Jack thought, worried, "Growlithe and I are in no condition to fight, and Pikachu is in the monster's body. There's got to be a way to take the whole thing down." Jack looks at his body, and saw no more static. "That's odd. The static must of ware off, but how? It must have run out of juice. If I can pull out something." Jack looks through his stuff. "Dang. I can't have any healing items but Potions and Phoenix Downs."
"Bulba!" Said Bulbasaur, looking at the antenna.
"Bulbasaur?" Ask Jack, looking at his Bulbasaur, confused, and he looks at the antennas. "So that's it. Those antennas were meant to paralyze pok'emon and people. We'll just have to be careful of touching those." "Alright! Let's go!" Jack charges at the monster, and attacks. "Ha! Hu! Agh! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! "Bulbasaur! Use Leech Seed on the beast! That should buy you guys some time!"
Bulbasaur launched a whole pack of seeds, and the monster becomes seeded. Each time the monster makes a move; it loses its health. Psyduck charges at the monster, and tries to scratch it. It was still hard as steel.
Now the monster started to release two more pots from the ground, and its legs appeared. The monster has three pots on its body left. Two more pot spiders came to fight again.
" Guys! What's going on out there?" Pikachu shouted.
The monster started to spark its antennas, and aim at Psyduck. The antennas then shock Psyduck like a powerful electrical Thundera attack.
"PSY!" Psyduck shouted, electrocuted.
"Psyduck! No!" Jack shouted, worried. Psyduck manages to get up, but it's weak, breathing hard, and Psyduck is now paralyzed. Luckily, it seems the monster's stamina was drained away and straight to Bulbasaur.
Growlithe was able to shook off the static, and blows out an ember attack at the first pot spider. The first pot spider took a big hit. Now Jack charges at the monster again, and tries to attack again.
"Give me back, Pikachu!" Jack shouted, attacking. "Ha! Hu! Fra! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! The monster took too much hit, and tries to shake it off. "Why won't this guy give up? How much stamina does it have?"
Bulbasaur grows two vines from its body, and whips the pot spider very hard like a whipping machine. It done very much damage, and destroys the first pot spider. Psyduck can't move.
Now the monster charges up its static antennas again, and strikes at Jack. Jack took an electrical hit hard. "Ugh!" Jack can feel his body in pain again, but now he's paralyzed again. "AGH! That's worse! I can't even make a move for one bit, and Psyduck is a sitting Psyduck."
Next, the pot monster went after Psyduck, and just slaps it. It didn't do much damage because it's weak.
The monster's stamina was trained from Leech Seed, and goes to Bulbasaur. Growlithe looks at the monster, inhale its breath, and then blows out another ember attack at the monster's head. The monster took a fiery damage.
Bulbasaur starts to do a Vine Whip attack on the second pot spiders like a whipping machine. That did powerful damage, and the second pot spider was hit hard.
The monster got madder, and charges up more electricity. It charges the electricity on its antenna, and zaps Psyduck again. "PSY!" Psyduck shouted, attacked. Psyduck falls to the ground, defeated.
"Psyduck! No!" Jack shouted, worried, and he felt more static from its body. Jack doesn't do a thing, because he's still paralyzed.
The pot spider went after Bulbasaur, and slapped him. It didn't do much damage, because the pot spider is too weak. The monster's stamina was drained, and went straight to Bulbasaur.
Growlithe inhaled its breath, and blows out another ember attack to finish the last pot spider. The pot spider is destroyed for good.
Bulbasaur starts to rapidly use Vine Whip on the monster. The giant black centipede took many hits, but refused to left go of Pikachu. The monster then starts to charge up its static again on its antenna, and then zaps Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur didn't take too much because it's a grass type.
The monster's stamina was drained away, and Bulbasaur recovered to full health.
Growlithe starts to charge at the monster, and then bites it very hard. It took a big bite attack. And Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip to get Pikachu out. Bulbasaur is still acting like a whipping machine, whipping the monster with Vine Whip.
The giant black centipede then starts to charge up electricity on its antenna, and then release another shock attack on Growlithe. But Growlithe was able to toughen the static, and the static is gone. The monster's stamina was drained away, and Bulbasaur recovered health.
Now Growlithe inhaled its breath, and then blows out an ember attack at the monster. Not only the monster took fiery damage, but also, the giant black centipede becomes burned hard.
"Great job, guys." Said Jack, getting up, "But now it's our turn to turn the tables on him." He pulls out a red feather, and throws it to Psyduck. "Psyduck! Come back to the battle with us!"
A white light shines on Psyduck, and Psyduck revives back into battle. "Psy?"
Bulbasaur starts to use Vine Whip again, and whips the monster with two vines. It took big hits to whip it good.
Psyduck charges at the monster for payback, and scratches. It seems that the monster was still hard as steel, but Psyduck scratched it hard as it can.
The monster took half of its health, and then starts to spit Pikachu out.
"CHAA!" Pikachu shrieked.
"Pikachu!" Jack shouted, running to Pikachu. And he catches Pikachu. "I gotcha, buddy!" The giant black centipede roars loudly, and then buries itself back underground.
