Chapter 12 Ike Vs. Hatter: A Vengeance That Will Never Die!

"Now Ike, that you have betrayed Typhoon you will die right here and now!" the original Dr. Hatter yelled. "Now Weezing use sludge!"

Ike got hit and he screamed.

"No Ike!" he heard Cecilia yell and felt her body cover him.

"Now use smokescreen on them both!"

They started coughing from the smokescreen.

That day I was almost killed but I was saved after what I've been through. I almost drowned in that frozen fountain but Rusty saved me from it despite his injury and mine. My leg is a testament to my survival.

Ike, Robert, and Tamaki made it to the stage where they found the girls fighting against Dr. Hatter's Weezing.

"Shall we join in?" Tamaki slurred.

"Yeah, let's do it!" Robert exclaimed. "Go Meowth!"

"Go Hitmonchan!" Tamaki exclaimed.

Their Pokemon came out.

"Aren't you going to join in?" Robert asked Ike.

"Yeah. Go Magneton!" Ike yelled.

"Weezing use sludge!" they heard Dr. Hatter yell.

"Not so fast! Magneton use thunderwave!" Ike yelled.

The three parts of Magneton juggled around and used the attack.

Dr. Hatter's Weezing got hit and was paralyzed.

"Thanks Ike!" Geri exclaimed.

"My turn! Hey Hitmonchan catch!" Tamaki yelled and tossed him a flask.

The Hitmonchan caught it and drank it.

"Don't tell me you did what I thought you did!" Robert exclaimed.

The Hitmonchan hiccupped.

"You think a drunk Hitmonchan will beat my Weezing?" Dr. Hatter yelled.

"You got it! Hitmonchan, drunken rocket punch!" Tamaki yelled.

The attack hit despite the loopiness of the motion.

"Now use drunken sky uppercut!" Tamaki yelled and hiccupped.

The attack hit and the Weezing was knocked out.

"Return Weezing!" Dr. Hatter yelled. "Not bad! I think it's time for a new Pokemon, go Trubbish!"

"Huh?" Geri asked.

They saw a Pokemon that looked like a garbage bag and they smelled it and held their noses.

"Ugh! That smell likes crap!" Geri exclaimed.

"No kidding!" Saiyori exclaimed.

"Man, it smells worse than a Muk!" Tamaki exclaimed and felt himself starting to puke.

"Hey now, not on me! Find a bathroom!" Ike yelled.

Tamaki ran over to a garbage pail and threw up in it.

"I guess you can't handle a Unova Pokemon." Dr. Hatter said.

"Especially this one, I wish I can get info on this hing but I think the smell's enough!" Geri exclaimed.

"You guys need to take it down and now! Magneton use your thunderwave on it!" Ike yelled.

"Not so fast! Trubbish use acid spray!" Dr. Hatter yelled.

His Trubbish sent out the attack and it hit Magneton and it was poisoned.

"No Magneton! Return!" Ike yelled and it returned.

"Will it be okay?" Robert asked.

"Yeah! Tamaki, will you able to fight?" Ike asked and looked to see Tamaki was sleeping. "What the hell?"

"Oh dear, I think your friend will be asleep for a week." Dr. Hatter said with glee in his voice.

"You know I'm kind of feeling sleepy. Return Tails." Geri said as she yawned.

"You too Ursaring." Saiyori said with a yawn.

"Damn it!" Ike exclaimed.

"I guess you guys smelled Trubbish's gas!" Damian exclaimed as he appeared.

"Well, well now a Striker Force member finally appeared, how charming! Trubbish put him to sleep with a belch." Dr. Hatter said.

"Sorry but it won't help against my Excadrill!" Damian yelled and send and sent out his Pokemon. "Use mud sport!"

The Excadrill used the attack and it stopped the Trubbish in its tracks.

"No! Use Acid gas!" Trubbish yelled.

"Dodge by using dig!" Damian yelled.

His Excadrill dug underneath and disappeared as the acid gas flew over the hole. Then it reappeared and hit the Trubbish from underneath.

"Return Trubbish!" Dr. Hatter yelled and growled.

"Look, you should surrender or you will lose even more fights!" Ike yelled.

"I won't be beaten that easily! I won't stop until I get my revenge for my father!" Dr. Hatter yelled.

"What? That was fifteen years ago!" Ike yelled.

"You know he died in jail for what he did to you?" Dr. Hatter yelled.

"Your dad was sent off to jail because he betrayed me." Ike told him.

"Because you betrayed Typhoon first! Now it's time to die!" Dr. Hatter yelled as he took out a button and pressed it.

An explosion rang around them and the floor opened up and he, Ike, and Damian vanished.

"Dad!" Robert yelled.

Meanwhile, Dr. Elisa and the others managed to find the rest of Striker Force who was treating Marty.

"No way!" the twins exclaimed when they saw him.

Adam managed to remove the mind control device and said, "There, it wasn't easy but I did it."

"Man, you sure know how to disarm mechanical things." Max said.

"A lot of training since I do work with the amps after all." Adam said.

Zane came in and started to put some disinfectant on the red areas on the neck where the device was.

Marty cringed in pain a bit as he worked.

"Just hold on, it will keep the cuts from where the skin was penetrated from getting infected." Zane told him.

"By the way, where's Harmony?" Dustin asked.

"She went after Damian to go after Dr. Hatter." Zane answered.

"Great! That means we have a big fight on our hands!" Tyler exclaimed.

"Which I will go and take out as well." Marty said as he got up.

"Whoa Marty, you shouldn't!" Dr. Elisa exclaimed.

"I need to help Ike! Since he is going to fight against these Iris guys on his own, he needs help especially in hand on hand!" Marty said as he looked at the sword with the Iris emblem on it.

"You know the police are looking for any Iris member in this region like we are, right?" Max asked him.

Marty saw the paint cans and said, "I think I know how to make myself look not so noticeable if there are any cops or rangers around, throw that paint on me!"

"What?" Bailey asked.

"Just do it so the Iris patterns won't show." He told them.

"Fine." Hiley said.

They threw black paint onto the uniform and the symbols were hidden from sight.

"Thanks guys, just tell the rangers that there are people around fighting the Iris member that made the attack and just standby to arrest them." Marty told them.

"Will you be okay professor?" Dustin asked him.

"Yeah, I will." Marty said and ran off.

"Come on guys!" Adam said.

They all nodded and left the contest hall and reported to Officer Jenny about what had happened and told her the information that Marty gave them. She ordered the other cops and rangers to standby when Ike and the others came out. She even had some paramedics from the infirmary to come by and search for anyone who maybe injured or are trapped and can't get out in the meantime.

Ike woke up and saw that he was in the holding area for the contestants. He saw that it was burnt from the bombs that blew the stage area and itself up. He coughed from any leftover smoke. He noticed Damian was also nearby but knocked out and had a stream of blood coming from a cut over his eyebrow.

"Damian!" Ike yelled and tried to get up but fell over. "What the hell?"

He looked down and saw his prosthetic leg was gone and gasped.

"Looks like you won't be moving around much without this!" he heard Dr. Hatter say and saw him hold it up. "The handiwork's not so bad and I guess your moves are still stealthy as ever when you had it on but not today!"

He saw him throw it aside.

"You bastard!" Ike yelled.

"No, you're the bastard for what you've done to my dad! He followed your every order and nursed your leg as much as he can before it got truly infected and it was lost and now that he is dead, I can't let you live." Dr. Hatter said.

Ike remembered what happened on Typhoon and then the end when the doctor betrayed him.

"Look! Your dad betrayed me and almost killed my friends in the process! Now that I know that he has a son and working for a new syndicate, I can either save you or kill you!" Ike yelled and felt a blade go into his thigh and he screamed in pain.

"Aw, looks like I will starting your pain and will cause you to lose your other leg, or possibly another body part?" Dr. Hatter asked and ripped his sword out.

Ike screamed.

"Let go of my dad!" Robert yelled and swung his blades at him.

He was blocked by the bloody sword.

"Robert!" Ike yelled."Ike!" Harmony yelled.

"Get Damian out of here!" Ike yelled as he saw her appear.

She saw the injured Damian and went over to him and yelled, "What about you?"

"Save him first and then me!" Ike yelled.

She nodded and yelled out, "Go Sijaleth! Use your psychic attack to get Damian out of here!"

Her Pokemon came out and it got Damian out of the hole.

"I hope someone finds him and gets him to a doctor soon." Harmony said.

Robert blocked another attack and managed to kick Dr. Hatter off and tried to stab him but he dodged and tried swinging until they heard a gun go off and he screamed in pain. He dropped the sword and grabbed his shoulder and went to his knees.

"What the hell?" Ike asked and turned his head to see Marty.

"I still got it." Marty said with a smirk.

"Marty, you betrayed me?" Dr. Hatter asked.

"Not exactly, your mind control device lost its control and I turned back to normal!" Marty answered and looked at Ike. "Nice to see ya Ike! How's the gym life treating you?"

"Not bad, enough with the friendly greetings we have to get out of here!" Ike answered.

He noticed the leg was gone and nodded and took out a Pokeball and said, "Come on out Queen! I need your help."

His Nidoqueen came out.

"Carry Ike through the doorway and take the steps out!" Marty told her.

Nidoqueen nodded and went over to the down Ike and picked him up and left.

"Wait, I thought you were a fire trainer?" Harmony asked.

"I added a bit of variety ever since my days with the others." Marty said and turned back to Dr. Hatter. "Now doc, tell me something, where's the McLanes?"

"I will never tell you and since your brain is a little fuzzy you won't even remember." Dr. Hatter answered.

"I think I know where, the Unova region right?" Harmony asked.

"You mean the fifth region farther away from here?" Marty asked.

She nodded and said, "That is where my and the rest of the Striker Force and our Pokemon came from, also Dr. Hatter had a Unova Pokemon on him which I noticed from what happened to Geri and her friends near the stage area." Harmony answered.

"Good work Striker member, there is one thing you've forgotten, you don't know where we hidden our team along with the McLanes, that is why want the siblings so they won't pass the information to any allies they received along the way." Dr. Hatter said.

"You bastard, you can't have them!" Robert yelled and kicked the doctor in the side.

He cringed in pain and fell down.

"Enough!" they all heard and turned to see a girl with a mask with a card suit on her mask.

"Diamond! What the hell are you doing here?" Dr. Hatter asked and then coughed from the pain.

"Club and Heart were worried so they sent me out to find you and I found you being beaten by a little boy and giving information that is supposed to be figured out by our enemies on their own." She answered.

"Sorry Diamond, they only got Unova right but I only gave them why we were looking for the McLane siblings in the first place." Dr. Hatter said.

Diamon looked at Robert and then to Harmony and finally Marty and growled.

"Excuse me?"

"You let him betray us, Professor Howl I mean!" Diamond asked.

"He released himself." Dr. Hatter answered.

"Very well, it looks like we have another enemy! Professor Howl, since you've left Iris, you won't be living another day when the Queen of the Irises find out about this!" Diamond yelled and dropped her flower bomb and they saw the petals rain.

Dr. Hatter smirked and said, "I guess it's my turn to leave, that's your warning Marty! Next time you will be dead!" Dr. Hatter said and dropped his.

"Hey get back here!" Robert yelled.

Harmony sighed in relief and turned to Marty and asked, "Will you be alright?"

"Yeah, I think so! Who was that Diamond girl?" Marty asked.

"Not sure, it looks like they have a group of people with suit names." Harmony said.

"Whoever she is, we're in a lot of trouble." Robert said.

Marty nodded.

Harmony returned her Sijaleth and they started to leave the underground level and got to the top and found some fire teams putting out the smoke and any other leftover flames. Harmony told the firemen that it's all clear and that they found Professor Howl and he's safe. They left the concert hall to find the rest of their friends at the Pokemon Center.

They found Dr. Elisa putting a new leg on Ike to replace the old one. He had a bandage on his left thigh from where he got stabbed. Robert told them what had happened and about Diamond appearing.

"Damn! Now we have more trouble with this group!" Ike exclaimed.

"Hey, at least we know where they are!" Harmony told them.

"Huh?" Ike asked.

"The Unova Region, there is no specific location but we will find them there." Marty answered.

"Good, once Geri, Saiyori, and Tamaki get out of their slumber we're heading there." Ike said.

"Should we call the other teammates?" Dr. Elisa asked.

"We should, since we have Marty back, why not?" Ike asked.

"There is one problem though." Adam said.

"What?" Dr. Elisa asked.

"Well, according to Officer Jenny in Celadon in Kanto, Jack was taken from the greenhouses at the gym, someone known as Spade took him." He answered.

"Great!" Ike grumbled.

"But his oldest daughter, Katie will be joining us soon." Adam told them.

"Good." Ike said. "In the meantime, contact John in Mahogany and see if they will get out here." Ike told them.

"Wait, you're not our commanding officer!" Harmony exclaimed.

"He is a gym leader, he has the same kind of authority anyways." Marty pointed out.

"Not only that, we're joining Striker." Ike said.

"Huh?" Adam and Harmony asked.

"Are you serious?" Dr. Elisa asked.

"Look, Damian may not like it but he has to know that a band can't take these guys alone, you guys need the original members of our team or their kids since they know what they're up against! Plus, me, Marty, John, even Jack's wife, Amy had experience in taking out syndicates years ago and we trained our kids in fighting in these situations! You saw my son taking on Dr. Hatter earlier, so it would be right to do so!" Ike told them.

Harmony sighed and said, "I guess you're right!"

"So that Damian is still out, who will lead us?" Adam asked.

"Jeez, for a band you forgot your former lead singer." They heard and saw a guy with bright green hair anr and was spiked up in different parts and the bangs were long in the front to make it look like a messy do.

"Trevor! When did you get here?" Harmony asked.

"Just now, I've been trying to find you all since I returned to the headquarters to find the coordinates of this region and the info on Team Iris, I had to rush here! Plus, I heard about the contest here was attacked and knew you were all here." He answered.

"I thought you left so you would work with Professor Juniper." Adam said.

"I did, but she told me that there was an eerie wind blowing so I left the lab." He answered.

"Well, now that you're here, welcome back!" Harmony said and left the room with a huff.

"What's with her?" Robert asked.

"Long story, but now that we have Trevor back, we can run until Damian wakes up." Adam said.

They all nodded except for Trevor.

"Looks like we will be getting victory back in order." Ike said with his usual smile.

Author's Commentary

Hey all, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Now the group or at least the kids of the heroes are now banding together and that will start next chapter and thought why not do it in a nice way, you'll see it then. About Magneton and the juggling between the Magnemites that form it, I bet you're wondering about that, if any of you guys remembered Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 back in the days of the Nintendo 64 that is where I got the idea from. Why? Because when I played the games and had Magneton on the team of six in the stadium area I always loved how it attacked which was all the Magnemites juggled while they were still magnetized to each other and thought why not do it in the fic as well and make Magneton look more badass while it did it? Plus it does make more sense that way since with magnetism in most places it looks like it levitates and that is what the Pokemon Stadium version did. Speaking of games, not sure if any of you have Black and White and gotten Mewtwo through Wi-Fi, I got it for both of my copies and also there are sequels coming for both of the games which I got news froma friend that sent me an article. There will be more updates along the way, I may do the same thing with these two like I did with Black and White, reserve for both, I will wait after I get a new DS, cuz mine is starting to show its age by freezing on me and will be getting the XL since I would see better on a bigger screen. So, I guess that's about it! Stay tuned for 13!
