Chapter 11: Time for the Real Battle to Begin!
After Clay's insults towards Butch, he sent out the two pokemon that were given to him by his boss's new partner. When the two pokemon appeared, everyone stopped laughing when they saw the poor altered creatures before them. Clay and his friends recognized the features on the two pokemon, and Zane ran and hid somewhere near a grove of berry trees. Jessie, James, and Meowth did the same.
Ash then said, "What the heck!?" May then said, "What's wrong with those pokemon!?!" Vivian then said to Clay quietly, "Clay, those things look like those monsters we fought back at the Isle O' Hags!" Clay then said, "I know... What's going on here?" Butch then said, "No thanks to you, Team Rocket's now in hiding! You kids shattered our pride!" "So you feel pride in being a prick? Wow, that's very big of you..." Said Clay, as his voice dripped with sarcasm.
Butch then said, "Ok punk! You've asked for it!" Cassidy then said, "I may not approve of Butch's current attitude due to your insults, but he has a point. You will pay for exposing our hideout's location! Charizard, Use Flamethrower on those brats!" The creepy looking Charizard spat out red and black flames at the group. Everyone barely got away in time, but the Tyrannitar was readying a Hyper Beam that somehow was glowing with black energy rather than the normal yellow and white mix.
The attack was fired, and would have hit it's mark if a beam of concentrated sunlight, known as Solar Beam, hadn't shot out of nowhere to block the attack. When everyone turned to the source of the blast, there was one of Ash's pokemon: A Bulbasaur. Alongside were all of Ash's other pokemon he left here as well as the pokemon May left here in the care of Professor Oak. The large crab pokemon, Kingler fired a Bubble Beam at the Charizard. The hit weakened it quite a bit, but it seemed to heal itself from the attack effortlessly.
Ash then said, "How'd it restore it's strength!? Charizard can't use Recover!" Then Cassidy said, "Our boss recently partnered up with an orginization who have improved the powers of these two pokemon, making them invincible. Give up now, there's no hope for victory now!" Butch then said, "Yes, surrender, and hand over all those pokemon so our boss can have more additions to his army!"
In the distance, Jessie, James, and Meowth were terrified. But they were no where near as scared as Zane was now. He said, "They somehow survived. How else did those pokemon wind up under their controll!?" Jessie then said, "What are you talking about?!" Zane then said, "N-n-nothing!!!" James then noticed something that seemed to stand out amongst the berries in the tree above them. It looked like a bag. Curious, he picked it out of the tree. When Meowth caught sight of it, he said, "Hey Jimmy, where'd you find the bag?" James then said, "It was in this tree for some reason." He scanned his eyes over the bag, and saw Zane's name etched into the back. James then said, "Zane, this bag has your name on it."
Zane looked at the bag, and his eyes lit up when he saw it. He yelled, "MY BAG! Allright, give me that, I think there might be something that can help!" He took the bag from James, and looked through it. He then said, "YES!!!!! I KNEW I'D FIND SOMETHING!!!!!!"
Back with the others, all of the pokemon were working hard to try to take down the enemy pokemon, but no matter what they do, the two opponents kept recovering. A few minutes ago, Prof. Oak and Tracey ran back to the lab, probobly to contact the cops. The pokemon on our heroes side were very tired, and couldn't fight anymore. Everyone thought they were going to die, especially when the Tyrannitar and Charizard unleased their attacks again.
Suddenly, there was a shining yellow blur, that screeched out "WOBBUFFET!!!!!!!!!!!!" Suddenly the two attacks turned back towards the Charizard and Tyrannitar, and hit them heavily. When everyone turned towards the source of the apparent Mirror Coat, everyone saw Jessie's Wobbuffet covered in a golden aura that also flashed in a variety of other colors. Wobbuffet also had a very pissed off look on his face as he muttered something in poke language to the Tyrannitar and Charizard.
Song: It Doesn't Matter SA2 Version
Oh, yeah...
All right...
Well, I don't show off, don't criticize
I'm just livin' by my own feelings
Max then said, "What's with Wobbuffet?" Kooper then said, "It looks like he's found a Starman." Servo then said, "How's that possible!? There aren't any question mark blocks floating around here!" That's when everyone heard the voice of Zane say, "Let's just say I found something that might give us an advantage!"
And I won't give in, won't compromise
'cause I only have a steadfast heart of gold
Everyone then saw Zane with a worn-looking backpack, and that Jessie and James's clothes were a mix of orange and white. Meowth's ears and tail also were different from usual, and looked like those of a racoon's. Goombario then said, "Hey you found your bag!" Meowth then said, "Not only that, he found these crazy items that give ya kooky super powers! Show 'em Jimmy!"
I don't know why, I can't leave, though, it might be tough
But I ain't out of control, just livin' by my word
James smirked and said, "Get it while it's hot!" He then threw a fireball at Butch, who then said, "Hey, watch where your throwing those! You nearly hit me!!!!!" James then said, "That was the point Billy!" Butch groweld, then said, "Tyrannitar, use Hyper Beam!" The Tyrannitar tried to use Hyper Beam, but was suddenly frozen in ice.
Don't ask me why, I don't need a reason
I've got my way, my own way
Clay then was seen with an icy mist around his hands, and said, "Did you suddenly forget we were here?" Butch tried to recall Tyrannitar, But Kooper ducked into his shell, and hit Butch and cassidy with his Power Shell attack, and stole the Rocket's pokeballs which normally contained the Charizard and Tyrannitar.
Charizard then tried to melt the ice his teamate was in, but was nailed in the gut by Zane's Bomb's Away attack, which miraculously KO'd it despite it's annoying recovery ability.
It doesn't matter now what happens
I will never give up the fight
Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight
It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right
Charizard tried to get up, but Meowth said, "Oh no you don't! Time for a Flyin' Fury Swipes!" Meowth used his new tail to fly up to Charizard and unleashed his Fury Swipes. Since he was flying now, he was able to strike at every angle, and took the red and black dragon down once more.
Well, I don't look back, I don't need to
Time won't wait and I've got so much to do Where do I stop? Now it's all a blur and so unclear
Well, I don't know, but I can't be wrong
Professor Oak and Tracey came back from the lab wearing these odd glove-like machines on their arms. Prof. Oak then said, "Ready Tracey?" Tracey then said, "You bet, professor!" They each placed a pokeball in the palm of the gloves they wore, and the pokeballs began glowing strangely. They then threw the pokeballs at the two pokemon, which then stopped in midair. Then several streams of energy that resembled fingers shot from the pokeballs when they opened. The beams ensnared the two pokemon, and forced them into the pokeballs. After a few shakes on each ball, they stopped, showing the two pokemon had been captured.
It doesn't matter now what happens
I will never give up the fight
Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight
Place all your bets on the one you think is right
(guitar solo)
Butch and Cassidy fled when they heard the sirens from nearby police cars go off, but they didn't get far when the whole herd of Tauros that belonged to Ash blocked their escape route. The two Team Rocket members were then apprehended by the police.
Oh, it doesn't matter now what happens
I will never give up the fight
Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight
It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right
No, no, no, no...
It doesn't matter!
Butch and Cassidy then said as they were taken away, "Looks like we're being carted off again..." Officer Jenny then said to the heroes, "Great job, you've all helped keep these two from escaping long enough for us to arrest them. We'll be sure these two don't get out of jail this time. Now, can you please tell me what happened here? Also, what's with these odd-looking creatures? They aren't like any pokemon I've seen before."
Clay looked over to his friends and saw he forgot to place the spell back on his friends before arriving at Oak's lab. Officer Jenny then said, "Oh wait, I remember my cousin in Azure Town mentioned you guys. So, you were those otherworldly visitors she mentioned. Anyway, where are those two mutated pokemon that were reported?" Prof. Oak then said, "I have them right here. I used the Snag Machines that I along with several other pokemon researchers recieved from the Pokemon HQ Lab in Oree after the last Shadow Incident." Officer Jenny then said, "It was a good idea to use the Snag Machines professor."
Clay then said, "Could everyone please explain what the heck is with those machines?" Everyone went inside the lab to relax after their victory, and to talk about this 'Shadow Incident' and these Snag Machines. Clay's friends learned about Cipher, and how they took pokemon from their trainers to try to rule the world by turning them into Shadow Pokemon. They also heard of how Cipher tried again to use Shadow Pokemon after being stopped the first time, but again were defeated.
Professor Oak then said, "This Charizard and Tyrannitar are unlike anything I've ever seen. Whatever Team Rocket has done to them has mutated them into these horrible creatures, and has also given them powers no normal pokemon has. They seem to rival the powers of a legendary pokemon. The purification of a Shadow Pokemon involves the trainer trying to bond with it the way one would bond with any other pokemon. But whatever was done to these two suggests simply battling may have little or no effect..."
Clay then said, "I have something to add to that professor. I saw creatures almost exactly like these mutated pokemon back in my world!" Ash and his friends were curious about what Clay had to say. Clay then said, "Before me and my friends came out here, we were trying to help prevent a major disaster in our world from occuring. During that time, we were confronted by these monsters who had the same color scheme, and weaponry as that Charizard and Tyrannitar! They looked like dinosaurs, Velociraptors to be exact, but had a few key differences. First, their heads were shaped like a shark's, and the teeth were also shark-like and were painted red with what looked like blood. They had these claw weapons similar to an accessory from various RPG video games I've played. Finally, the tails of these things were like a sword."
At that moment, a few things in Clay's mind seemed to piece together. He remembered that back at the Island O' Hags that Gruntilda, the evil witch of the island, was killed by what seemed like multiple sword slashes. The note next to her fallen body was left behind by some group called the Dentes Rhohos, which his friend Observer explained was Red Teeth when translated from Spanish to English. He then remembered the 'paint' on the dinosaur's teeth, which also was on the Tyrannitar and Charizard. After processing this information, he said in his mind, 'How did they come back to life!?'
Clay then heard the voice of Officer Jenny say, "Is there anything else you'd like to share?" Clay snapped to attention, and said, "Oh sorry about that. I just realized something importent about what I just said, and it relates to our situation." Clay then told everyone what he had pieced together. After he was done, everyone had terrified looks on their faces. Cambot then said, "So those dinosaurs who attacked us were these Dentes Rhohos mentioned in that letter!"
Goombario then said, "Not only that, they somehow survived the beatdown Clay and his brothers gave them, and somehow turned these pokemon into one of their own!" May then said, "That's Disgusting! How can anyone do that!?!" Ash then said to no one in particular, "How do we turn them back?" Clay then said, "I don't know Ash, but I wish I did..."
To be continued...
Me: The gang now know the identity of the Dentes Rhohos! And if it isn't obvious to anyone now, Team Rocket has sided with them!
Crow: That makes everything a lot more dangerous.
Servo: I'm glad Zane and I gave you the idea to use the Snag Machines here.
Crow: I still think that a different element should be used.
Me: Ok, let's analyze the idea: Simply taking the pokeball containing the DR Pokemon would be quite dangerous as once it's time to purify it, it'd likely try to kill the heroes before it can be purified. The Snag System treats the DR Pokemon allows yu to safely capture the opposing pokemon, while at the same time coaxes it to refrain from harming it's new trainer. Hmmmm, which is better here?
Crow: Shut up...
Me: Anyway, I probobly wont update again until sometime next week, so R&R!
