AU: IIIIIIIIII'm baaaaaaaack. Um, on the earliest part of this chapter, I'm not sure if Arceus' home is exactly right. But then again, this story does take place in alternate worlds, so, yeah.
Warning: This chapter contains... well, insanity, such as "Crazy Taxi" references, Pokémon version of a bad word, over used amounts of ijit-calling, maybe more. Have fun! And by "ijit", I mean "idjit", meaning "idiot".
Chapter 7: "Insanity in Oakblossom"
Up in the clouds of another dimension lies an ENORMOUS city. It is very ancient-looking and thrice as large as any large city, like Oakblossom. The citizens are spirits, which is because they are the ghosts of the... deceased. The gold atmosphere surrounds the city, making everything the equivalent of Heaven.
Arceus' faithful lake guardians, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, emerges from a portal and roams the city. Mesprit and Azelf decided to have a race to see who gets to Arceus first.
"I'm going to beat you to Arceus!" said Azelf.
"No, you won't!" disagreed Mesprit.
Uxie sighed, "Why must I be the only mature one?"
The lake trio flew over the big city, bypassing villagers and workers. Azelf takes the lead, Mesprit catches up, and Uxie is falling behind, even though SHE'S not the one interested in racing.
Azelf and Mesprit flies neck-to-neck. All three made it to a dark forest. After a few minutes, Mesprit and Azelf noticed that Uxie had disappeared, but it mattered not to them as they continued their race. Ahead of them is a wide, dark field of grassy plains.
They flew out of the dark forest and out to the even darker field. Mesprit managed to get in front of Azelf. Azelf flew faster to get in front of her. They reach another yard, this time filled with implanted stone pillars. Each pillar glows with colors of pink, violet, turquoise, blue, and teal.
Both playful guardians dodged each pillar with ease. They eventually see a giant, gilded castle on top of a long flight of stairs. The two flew above the stairs, neck-and-neck. They alternate 1st and 2nd place repeatedly. After about a minute, they made up top and flew through the castle doors, into a corridor before finally stopping.
"Yes! I won!" exclaimed Azelf.
"No, I won!" yelled Mesprit.
Each started to get into the other's face.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
They both growled, "Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
"Ahem," both Mesprit and Azelf stopped arguing and faced the third lake guardian, Uxie, floating in the middle of the hall.
"How did you get here before us?!" asked Mesprit loudly.
"That doesn't matter, now," said Arceus standing behind the two guardians. The said two startled in surprised before turning around. "A-Arceus, greetings!"
"We need to discuss our progress for this Period. That is why I called you three."
"Indeed, your majesty," said Uxie, flying towards Arceus. "Both Team Arc and Team Dark have been training for over a week, now."
"Yes, I know that, but there is another thing: we still don't know what Darkrai might be up to. Legends did say that he's planing something that won't fail him this time."
"Maybe he's trying to sabotage Team Arc?" asked Mesprit.
"Maybe, but who knows?" Arceus turn around and then stayed silent for a moment. "He's planning something... Something more diabolical than the others...Something that might... cost the world's freedom."
The lake trio looks at each other. Arceus went outside on the porch. The trio followed before the four Legendary Pokémon looks up at the dark-blue sky.
"It's only a matter of time before the War Comet appears on Earth."
"Yes," the trio said in unison, still staring at the sky.
Around Arceus' home, the sky will always be dark, only being illuminated by the glowing pillars.
(Again, I'm trying my best to make the Spear Pillars and the Hall of Origin look decent. I've never played DP or any other Pokémon games, I've only watched the anime. The pillars are in the field and the Hall of Origin is literally a hallway inside a golden castle, about the same looking as Darkrai's)
Inside Sam's room, "The War Comet is a meteor, which presense could make Arceus and the other good legends vulnerable. In order to reach Arceus, the five guardians in the other regions must be captured, for they will also be too weak to fight back. The comet allows Darkrai into Earth, but not Arceus."
"The Pokémon Regional Adventures of Martial Arts is set during the War Comet. Its presense also determines the Period's duration. Arceus' powers cannot be used around the comet's presence. There is still a mystery of why the chosen ones cannot seem to have power. The world have that problem since the dawn of time. The mystery is either unsolvable or kept as a secret."
Sam closes the book she just read. "That's it?!" asked Rose, sitting crisscrossed in front of Sam.
"'Fraid so," replied Sam.
"Dude, I can tell you were reading that book halfway."
"Well, Master Wushao told us not to read to the end."
"Speaking of which, how do you think he and Lee are feeling?"
"I dunno. Let's check," Sam puts down the book.
The two girls sat up and walked out of the room. As they went out in the hall, they met up with Mike, TJ, and Blast. Blast holds a tin bucket while TJ carries a medicine bottles and Mike hold a trash can full of used tissue paper.
"Hey, guys," started Rose. "How they doing?"
"A little bit better," answered Mike. "For someone with a small nose, Lee sure can hold a lot of boogers."
Blast started, "I don't see why YOU'RE complaining. Wushao threw up twice in this bucket!"
Sam sighed, "Serves them right for practicing jujitsu in the rain last night."
TJ also sighed, "I don't know why we keep getting rain in this city."
"Anyway," Blast started again. "Since we're off from training today, how about we go to town?"
"Hmm," Rose rubs her chin. "I guess Sensei wouldn't mind if we asked, but what for?"
"Well actually," said Cream as she came inside with a newspaper strapped to her back with a rubber band. "There is a crisis going on in the city." As she ran towards the others, TJ cuts the band with his claw.
Cream drops the newspaper. "There's this really old Herdier named Ruckus who's in the Witness Protection Program because he saw a group of thugs stealing valuables at the local jewelry store." She opens the newspaper and turns the pages until they can see the page.
The page shows a picture of a jewelry store that looks like it's been broken into. It shows a smaller picture of the old Herdier.
Mike reads, "This morning, a group of mysterious thieves broke into a jewelry store and stole many precious items. Ruckus the Herdier was the only one who could identify the suspects. But when he was spotted by the crooks, he had no choice but to go to the WPP. Right now, he is at home waiting for Flame the Torchic to come pick him up."
"Flame the Torchic?!" Blast gasped. "He's my traveling buddy!"
"That's great," said Rose before she whispers to Sam. "Hopefully he won't be as annoying as his buddy here."
"I heard that!" yelled Blast.
Cream told the others that she'll look after the sick Miens, as Rose would call them. The said fast-learner used the spell to summon another large cloud. They hopped on and zoned away, waving goodbye to Cream.
While flying on the cloud, the kids have a conversation.
"Hey guys," said Blast. "We should use my friend's uncle's old SUV."
"What do we need a car for?" asked TJ. "We could just use this cloud."
"Well, you see, when you've got baddies tracking you, it'd be a safe bet to drive in an indoor vehicle so they won't track you as easily."
"I guess that would be a smart idea," Mike agrees.
"See, I know this 'cause I was a volunteered crime stopper!"
"Great, now if only this time, you could be a temporary migraine stopper," said Sam.
The others laughs.
The team flew into the city and stopped by a payphone. Blast inserts a coin in it dialed.
"Hey, Flame? Yeah, it's me! I know, it's been a while! Listen, I heard about this Ruckus guy. I know you're on your way, but would your uncle mind if we borrow his car for today, because I wanna help ya out with him. He won't? Great! Uh, and one more thing: could you ive me Ruckus' address? Later? Okay."
"What's that? Yeah, Team Arc is with me right now, except Lee, he and gramps are sick. Yeah, the other four is with me right now. They're gonna help, too. Yeah, the girls are coming too. So, how is your day-"
Blast was cut off when he heard his friend hang up. "Hello? Hello? Dude!"
"The timer went off?" asked TJ.
"No, I had like, 30 seconds left. But whatever, let's go to his uncle's garage, we can use his SUV to stay hidden."
"Where is it?" asked Sam.
"Oh, we can just walk. It's not very far from here."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
In lane of cars stopped in front of a red light, two, young voices are heard from the back car.
"No way! My holographic Tyranitar can totally kick your Mamoswine's butt!" said the first voice.
"Yeah right! He couldn't even beat my Piplup!" said the second voice.
"Oh, that's some TC (Tauros Crud) right there! My Tyranitar will beat all your pansy Pokémon! Your team is weak!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Yuh-huh!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Yuh-huh!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Yuh-huh!"
Their bickering slowly paused as they hear a speeding vehicle coming towards their current location. The car comes closer and closer. When it finally came to view, it appears to be a large, black Sports Utility Vehicle.
(All I Want by Offspring Playing)
The speeding car came bypassing the lane of cars and drove into the intersection. The car nearly got hit by other vehicles who wear had the green light, but it made it through without a scratch.
Blast is inside the car, driving, Mike is sitting in the front with him, panicking, Rose is in the back, also panicking, and Sam and TJ are under Blast, managing the pedals. Sam is on the brake, and TJ is on the gas, pushing too hard.
"According to the address Flame's uncle gave us, the neighborhood Ruckus lives should be about four more miles," Rose said while holding a piece of paper with the address.
"Are you even old enough to drive, Blast?" Mike asked him.
"Nope, but that's what makes it fun," he replies.
"I can't believe your friend's uncle would be crazy enough to let small kids like us use a car big enough for a Blaziken!" yelled TJ.
"And I can't believe that your fat behind keeps making the car go too fast! Ease up, will ya!?"
"Ok, uh, turn right!" said Rose.
"Okie-dokie!" Blast abruptly turned right, almost hitting a nearby car crossing the lane.
"DUDE! WHAT IS THAT!?" yelled Mike.
"Sorry, I thought I had the right-of-way!"
"More like the 'wrong-of-way'!"
After speeding through the streets, driving on the sidewalk, almost hitting an old Gothitelle in a wheel, and getting away from the cops, the group made it to the neighborhood. They eventually found the house with the right address. Their, they see a Torchic standing in the middle of the walkway.
"Sam, hit the brakes!" ordered Blast.
"Whatever," responded Sam as she slams on the brake pedal with her hands.
(Song Ends)
The surprisingly unscratched vehicle finally stopped. Mike got out of the car with two paper bags he found in the car: one to puke in, and the other to breath in and breath out. Blast then exited the SUV, "Hey, Flame, buddy!"
"What's up, man?" the fire-type responded. Both partners came face-to-face.
"It's been a while! What's going on?"
"Nothin'. I was just on my way to the door."
Rose, Sam, and TJ walked out of the car. Blast looked behind him, "Oh, yeah! Ya wanna meet Team Arc?"
"Boy, do I!"
The Squirtle points at each team mate, "The chimp with the paper bags is Mike, the bear kid is TJ, and those girls are Rose and Sam."
TJ walks up to them, "Hi there. You must be-"
Flame knocked the Teddiursa out of the way as he ran towards the girls, "Helloooooooo, ladies." Flame smiles widely, eyes half-closed.
The girls are a bit nervous, "Uuuuuuhhhhhh, should we-?"
"Flame, we don't have time for that!" said Blast as he drags his friend by the feathers all the way to the front door of the house.
"Oh, c'mon, man! Give me a break!"
"Excuse my friend, Flame. He's a flirt," explained the water-type.
"We can pretty much tell," said the Riolu, crossing her arms. Sam helps TJ back up.
"Whatever, let's just hurry up," said Blast as he unhands Flame and knocks on the door.
"Hello, Mr. Ruckus?" said Flame. "Flame, here! And I've brought some friends."
Blast stops knocking when the door is about to open.
As the door opens, Blast greeted, "Hello Mr. Ruc- OW!" He was cut off when the old Herdier whacked him in the head with a stick in his mouth.
The Herdier spoke up with a Southern to the water-type, "Boy, what are you doin' on my porch, Ijit?! The last thing I need is to deal with you, Ijit! Boy, you betta' not be one of them thugs after me, Ijit! I'll mess you up, Ijit!"
"No! We're here to put you in a safe place!" said Blast.
"Are you the one to escort me, Ijit?"
"No, he is," Blast pointed to the Torchic.
'OOOOOOOhhhh, OK, then," said Ruckus as he hits Flame in the head with the stick.
"Ouch!" yelled the fire-type in pain.
Ruckus yells, "BOY, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU HAD COMPANY, IJIT?! YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME! I ALMOST PEED ON MY FLOOR, IJIT! YOU KNOW I'M AN OLD MAN, IJIT!"
Sweat drops forms on the back of everyone else's heads.
"OK, WHAT THE HECK, DUDE?!" Flame yelled back.
Ruckus yells faster, "BOY, WHO YOU THINK YOU TALKIN' TO, IJIT?! I'LL KNOCK YO' BEAK OFF, IJIT! DON'T EVER IN YOUR LIFE TRYNA HOLLER AT ME, YA LITTLE IJIT! I OUGHTA TAKE THIS STICK, AND SHOVE IT DOWN YO'-"
TJ stops the yelling, "Hey! Hey! Heeeeeey!" The two stops yelling and faces him.
"We don't have time for this. We need to put you in a safe spot."
"Lil' Ijit," Ruckus called Flame.
The Torchic angrily turns around, "OK, you know what-"
"HEEEEEEEY!" Rose yelled, stopping the fight. "We need to hurry up and leave before those criminals-"
Rose gets interupted when she and the others heard a couple of speeding vehicles coming towards them.
"Uh-oh," said Blast, "We gotta go. Come on, Ruckus!"
"Don't rush me, Ijit! I'm comin'."
Blast and Flame walks the old Pokémon to car.
"Mike, let's go!" Sam drags Mike back to the car.
"Oh, man," groaned the unwell Chimp Pokémon.
Everyone got back into the car, including Flame and Ruckus, who still wants to yell at each other. Sam and TJ handles the pedals as Blast is about to drive again.
(BOLT Soundtrack - Scooter Chase Playing)
Blast sees two black vans on a rear-view mirror. They're coming towards them.
"Well, so much for staying hidden. TJ, hit it!"
"Whatever you say," the Teddiursa presses his body on the gas pedal.
The SUV drove away, with the other black vehicles chasing them now. Blast turns right, then he makes another right. He drove back to the city.
"I'm guessing their windows are like the ones on this car: you can see the outsiders, but they can't see you!" Flame explained.
Just then, the two vans surrounded the team from left and right.
"Wuh-oh, sorry I hafta do this, bud," Blast turns the steering wheel and slams the van on the right into the back of a parked car.
"Hey, Man, what are you doin'?!" yelled Flame.
When there are no cars coming from the other lane, Blast turns left and knocked the other van to the sidewalk by the other lane.
"T, floor it!" Blast commanded. The normal-type slams on the gas, making the car accelerate. The car is going 70 miles per hour. "See, guys? We lost 'em."
Rose glances at the back window, "Uh, Blast? You might wanna look at your blind spot."
Blast looks at the mirror on top, the vans made a sudden return.
"What!? How did they catch so fast?!"
They drove by an ally from both sides. A cop car was sitting in each ally. They activated their sirens and drove to track down the three speeders.
"Hey, Blast," said Flame. "Looks like the cops just joined the party!"
"I don't think that'll stop these vans from chasing us."
Blast sees a tall building with parking lots on multiple floors, "Maybe I can lose them up there!" Drove in the first parking lot. They drove through the first floor and went up to the second floor, with the vans and cops still following. Floor after floor, they made it to the roof. Blast tells Sam to brake.
Everyone in the car looks around for a way out. Rose points to a wide, wooden board that looks like it could be used as a jumping rack. Blast had to take action when the vans showed up. TJ slammed on the gas. The van drove to the board and made a huge jump. The board was split due to the weight, so the crooks can use it.
(Song Ends)
Everyone screamed. Mike used the second paper bag as an inhaler. Rose and Flame held each other, Rose then pushed him away when he flirtatiously laughed.
Ruckus was unexpectedly sleeping during the entire chase, snoring loudly.
And then without any warning, he bursted with flatulence. Everyone stopped screaming and went, "EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!"
"SOMEBODY OPEN A WINDOW!"
"I CAN'T OPEN A WINDOW, REMEMBER?!"
"DUDE, THEY CAN'T SEE US NOW!"
"I'M SORRY, WHO'S THE DRIVER, HERE?!"
"DEAR, ARCEUS, I CAN'T BREATH!"
"HEY! PIPE DOWN! I'M TRYIN' TO GET SOME SLEEP, IJITS!"
The SUV eventually landed on the roof of a smaller building. Sam slammed on the brake pedal, stopping the car.
Everyone got out of the car. Mike throws up in his second bag.
Flame looked at the damage of the car, "Man, those guys gave us a difficult time over a bunch of jewels?!"
Blast pats on his feathered head, "Don't worry, I'm sure your uncle'll understand."
"Yeah," TJ began. "We got away from the thieves. So what could get any worse?"
Out of nowhere, the black car exploded, forming an orange and black smoke. The smoke eventually cleared,. Everyone coughed.
They see nothing but car parts on fire in, front of them.
Flame sighed, "Let me guess: the crooks planted a bomb on the back before you jumped off that other building didn't they?"
"I'm guessing they did," TJ nervously laughs.
The Torchic walks up to the girls, "Well, at least I have you two to cheer me up, am I right?"
Sam crossed her arms, "Get real, Ijit. Ow!" Ruckus whacks the Pikachu's head with the stick he still kept in his maw.
"Don't be stealin' my word, Lady Ijit," he said.
Rose sighed, "Come on, guys. Let's just get outta here." She used the spell, summoned another cloud, and flew everyone away.
(Please review. Again, sorry for not updating for a while, things got harder for me. Flame the Torchic is another OC requested by Volc the Shadow Typlosion, who pretty much changed to XtremeBlaze. See you guys next time on Chapter 8: "Home Invasion." IIIII'mm gonna need some more R&R. Have a nice New Year! Bye!)
