Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: A New Era
S1 Episode 13: (Part 4/4) False Lies
The final part…
(Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Seashore War theme plays; the whole entire group prays that they all make it out alive)
Alakazam: Pray Arceus that we all make it out alive.
Aurorus: I wish the best of luck to you all.
Electrode: (saddened) Yeah…
Ferrothorn: We all got a job to do and we are going to make sure that we eliminate the tribes once and for all.
Gardevoir: We will try, but nothing is going to be guaranteed easy for us.
Sandslash: Sacrifices will be made; lives will be lost.
Gengar: Countless lives, broken or not, trust is never straightforward.
Aegislash: (Stares at the clock from his phone) It's time.
Exploud: LET'S DO THIS!
Z: You know the plan all of you.
Grovyle: Right.
Z: Alright Scizor, your group is up first.
Scizor: On it. Alright group let's get in.
(Seashore War theme ends)
(The Tribes Headquarters)
Bellossom: Here it is, their headquarters.
Gourgeist: All of us, here, where it all began and could be our end.
Claydol: How do we get?
Electrode: No security bypass. They must have a way to get in.
Bisharp: (Looks around and notices a small opening with the cliffs) There! Gourgeist, fire a Bullet Seed up there.
Gourgeist: Alright then, Bullet Seed! (The Bullet Seed flickered a switch and the gate opens) You have a sharp eye.
Bisharp: Here we go…
Scizor: Remember the protocol, low-profile and no one strikes until further instruction.
(Tribes HQ Entrance; Sun and Moon Rescue Lillie theme plays)
Electrode: Claydol, what can you check around the floor?
Claydol: Teleport. (Teleports somewhere in the room; teleports at the security room) (whispers) Wow, am I lucky or what?
Gliscor Gnt: I'm telling you, man. You should take the day off tomorrow and celebrate your anniversary with your wife.
Gliscor Gnt: I should.
Claydol: (Speaks softly) Extrasensory.
Gliscor Gnt: Trust me she will appreciate—hey what the?!
Gliscor Gnt: Oh no—.
Claydol: Ice Beam, (Both Gliscor are frozen) Let's see… (minutes later) got it. (Calls the rest) I somehow teleported in the security room, though the guards are current taking a chill. You guys are good to proceed.
Electrode: Thanks for the heads up Claydol. (Hangs up) We're clear, let's move.
Banette: When do we clear out the first room?
Scrafty: Once we got the word from Celebi, then that's where we have to attack. In the meantime, pick up a spot and get into your position.
Mienshao: No can do, patrol up ahead.
Gardevoir: They're heading in our direction.
Scizor: Dangit, we're gonna have to attack then…
Mienshao: We have to.
Bisharp: Swords Dance. (Prepares a move, looks at the oncoming patrol) Wait for it… (footsteps get louder) wait for it… (footsteps sound clear) now! Guillotine! (Guillotines two grunts)
Electrode: Reflect!
Gardvoir: Energy Ball!
Donphan Gnt: Rollout! (Hits Banette)
Banette: Shadow Sneak! (Hits the Donphan)
Scizor: (Avoids an Excadrill's Drill Run) Swords Dance follow by Bullet Punch! (Hits a Lunatone and it faints)
Solrock Gnts: Cosmic Power! Fire Spin!
Scrafty: Not this plan again… get rid of the Fire Spin!
Electrode: Rain Dance!
Lunatone Gnts: (Tells the Solrock Gnts) We'll take care of them. In the meantime, you all take the underground passage and fight with them, we have intruders there.
Bellossom: They don't mean—.
Mienshao: Aurorus' group. Celebi gave them the signal.
Aegislash: (Slashes a Donphan with Sacred Sword) That wasn't part of the plan!
Gardevoir: No but I know what they're doing. Claydol, Bisharp, Scizor, and Banette, do not go for the terrain troops, go for the Skarmorys and Lunatones.
Claydol: I don't know what the purpose of this plan is, but this better work. Cosmic Power follow by Calm Mind!
Gardevoir: Our group, we must head to the conference to find anything that can give us a clue to the Persian's plan.
Electrode: Discharge! (Shocks a couple of guards and faint) Where is it?
Gourgeist: East wing!
Electrode: Alright then. Let's go!
Scrafty: More reinforcements!
Mienshao: Drapions?! Great…
Drapion Gnts: Cross Poison!
Gourgeist: Trick-or-Treat! (Changes their typing to Ghost) Scrafty, you're up!
Scrafty: Double Team! (Multiple copies of Scrafty) Feint Attack!
Drapion Gnts: Aghh! (They all faint)
Mienshao: No more patrols for now but we still need to move.
Gardevoir: Here it is, in here.
(Tribes HQ Conference Room (East Wing))
(They barricade the doors with chairs)
Scrafty: Find anything about that fucker. There has to be something about that weapon he was going to use on us.
(A portal opens up; everyone prepares to attack whoever appeared. It was Banette and the rest)
Banette: Don't shoot! We come in peace! Hahaha, just playing. That was a very clever plan eliminating the aerial troops so that our crew can sweep the rest. (Looks around and notices drawers are opened) What are you guys looking for?
Mienshao: Looking for anything that may be handy to us—.
Scrafty: (Cuts off Mienshao) Or anything about their secret weapon.
Banette: You mean Bittercold?
(Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky In The Future theme plays)
Everyone: (exclaimed) What?!
Banette: Bittercold. It's back… I overheard Doriru and Piglet talk about it. All these explorations we had, the chills, the freezing atmosphere, the outbreaks we've been having, all done by Bittercold.
Scizor: But how?! It was defeated a long time ago!? How was it able to regenerate back to itself?
Bisharp: Hold on, wasn't it growing stronger from the energy of our negative emotions?
Electrode: Yes. The more it consumes, the stronger it gets and rebuilds itself.
Claydol: Oh no... —.
Electrode: What Claydol?
Claydol: You don't think there were remains of Bittercold left after it was destroyed?
Gardevoir: That would mean, Bittercold is still alive!
Gourgeist: I don't get it, the FPII* (Federal Pokémon of Intelligence and Investigation) handled the situation to locate any remains.
Banette: They must have done a lousy job.
Scrafty: Also, the Glacier Palace, if it's still under the ocean floor, couldn't it still draw in the negative emotions of us?
Mienshao: I don't think it can, but under our situation, it mght be able to draw in power from the Glacier Palace as well. This means, bits of Bittercold and the Glacier Palace itself is still out there—.
?: (Speaks in the intercom) Very well. I oughta reward you all something for solving this case.
Scrafty: Persian you coward. Why don't you reveal yourself instead of presenting your voice!
Tribe Leader Persian: No need to, I got you right where I want you to. (Tyranitars appear out of nowhere) I got to admit, I was more of a fucking idiot not realizing that bastard Excadrill betrayed us and told you about the return of Bittercold. I should have him killed for this but in the end, it's part of a plan because you folk heroes are going to witness the reality of your deepest fears! (Menacing laugh) T-tars! Wear them out until they are fatigued! (Speaks to the other tribe leaders) Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the time has come for a relocation and also for new methods is now.
Tribe Leader Metagross: Where will we move?
Tribe Leader Persian: Anywhere my supercomputer friend. We are like the Narcos, we own so many condos and continents now that we have conquered so many areas throughout the world.
Tribe Leader Hydreigon: When will we introduce Bittercold?
Tribe Leader Weavile: As of right now, we will leave that aside and stay patient until our guests have worn themselves down.
Tribe Leader Rhyperior: Scrafty Twins!
Shiny Scrafty Twins: (Both) Present Drilly!
Rhyperior: What did I tell you two about that name?! Never mind, you guys and Chandelure will handle with our intruders until they are fatigued and introduce them to their worst fear.
Shiny Scrafty Twin 1: We're on it.
Shiny Scrafty Twin 2: This should be fun. (Both put on their hoodies and acrobat their way out)
Tribe Leader Rhyperior: Chandelure, play dirty if you have to.
Chandelure: On it. (Disappears from the void Chandelure summons)
Tribe Leader Weavile: Waiting while our henchmen seem to get all the entertainment seems like a bore, I will go handle our guests at the underground passageway.
Tribe Leader Metagross: I will do the same.
Tribe Leader Persian: This should be very exciting.
Mienshao: These T-tars, none of my moves are scratching it!
Gardevoir: Moonblast! Is it the sandstorm or what is it protected by?
Tyranitar Grunt: Stone Edge! (Hits Electrode)
Electrode: Damnit… (struggles to move) my attacks aren't doing anything!
Scrafty: Focus Punch! They want to wear us down.
Scizor: They're doing a good job at it.
Claydol: Earth Power! Our attacks are being absorbed by them… (very tired) I can't attack anymore. (collapses)
Bisharp: Claydol! (T-tar Gnt attacks Bisharp with Fire Fang) Aghh! (faints)
Gardevoir: (Watches Scrafty, Mienshao, and Gourgeist falls) No… (tries to get up but begins to white out) I can't lose… (T-tar Gnt prepares a Hyper Beam and fires at here) …
Banette: Gar… de… voir… (gets slammed by Dragon Tail).
Shiny Scrafty Twins: (Both speak at the same time) We're here… (looks at the fainted heroes) WHAT THE FUCK TYRANITARS?! WHERE'S OUR SHARE OF THE FUN?!
Tyranitar Grunt: You were too late. Chandelure made it though.
Chandelure: You two are slow. Go take out the others below.
Shiny Scrafty Twin 1: Damn you Chandelure.
Chandelure: Aww, thank you. Now get your asses down there.
Shiny Scrafty Twin 2: (Points out the middle finger) No fun at all.
Tyranitar Gnt: (Calls Rhyperior) Our guests have decided to rest.
Tribe Leader Rhyperior: Good. Bring them to the lab. (Call ends) Persian, they're all yours.
Tribe Leader Persian: Very good. Bronzong, I need you to help me out with our guests on their escape plan.
Bronzong: Affirmative.
(Tribe HQ Lab)
Tribe Leader Persian: Rise and shine, "heroes". It's time for you to witness beauty IN A MILLION WORDS! BEHOLD! The crystal of hatred, the being that takes in all negative emotions from you all and I, I give you… (Bronzong does a drumroll) BITTERCOLD! (Giant container reveals Bittercold with a lot of suctions from its body)
Scrafty: Persian, you little shit, what's your diabolical plan this time?
Tribe Leader Persian: Funny of you saying that (raises one of its paws signaling the grunts; shows two T-tars grabbing someone) You know it wasn't hard finding him since the whole plan was to let you infiltrate the building because we thought now it was a good time that Bittercold should be revealed to you all.
Excadrill (Doriru): (Grinds his teeth) You lied to me, from the very beginning.
(Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky Hidden Highland theme plays)
Tribe Leader Persian: It was easy as well. I brought you along because you were that kind of Pokémon that was easy to manipulate from the very beginning. (Looks at the rest) Willing to risk your lives to save the lives of other Pokémon, you truly define the meaning of naivety. I look upon thy fools like you all realizing your love and friendship is the key to save the day, now it isn't. You have failed to stop the tribes from taking over the world, failed to save Cyber City, and failed to recognize yourself as heroes. You try to collect several artifacts that will help you on your confrontation against us and bring several allies, but at what cost does it matter? Time doesn't need to rewind itself since you are repeating the cycle in multiple verses as you seek to fail all the time. (Looks at Bittercold) You wonderful crystalized God, as soon as your body is stored from your regeneration process, you will be released to create your world below its temperature for you to drain the vitality of many you have newly developed.
Mienshao: We need to stop Persian from releasing Bittercold, but how?
Gourgeist: (Tries to budge) I can't… they're locking me (get hit by a Feint Attack).
Shiny Scrafty Twin #2: Don't try ti get yourself outta here.
Shiny Scrafty Twin #1: Yes. (Looks at Bittercold as it is shaking) Yes. YES! YOU ALL ARE INVITED FOR THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE RELEASE OF BITTERCOLD!
Tribe Leader Persian: BEHOLD! (Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky Down to a Dark Path theme plays, hatch is opened and the ceiling opens; Bittercold rises) YES! YOU HAVE RISEN FROM YOUR SLUMBER! NOW IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO RECREATE THE WORLD YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED AGAIN! WITH NO ONE TO INTERFERE, YOU WILL SUCCEED ON ALL FRONTS! (Looks at the gang) Witness what your eyes see, a being who has waited for a period amount of time ready to conquer this so called planet we all existed. All thanks to the tribes, now we can watch as this world crumble and drop below zero to watch you suffer and die LIKE THE RATS YOU ARE (menacing laugh)!
Electrode: There's no hope…
Tribe Leader Persian: Funny of you saying those words Electrode, even though you knew from the very beginning.
Claydol: What the hell is he saying Electrode?
Gardevoir: What are you trying to do to him?!
Tribe Leader Persian: (Speaks sinisterly) Yes, Electrode, tell them what they want to hear…
Klefki: Fuck off, Persian! Our mind games won't work—.
Electrode: (Interrupts Klefki) He's right, I do know about Bittercold. I was… formerly a member of the tribes.
Claydol: WHAT?!
Bisharp: Shut the fuck up.
Banette: You're serious?!
Bellossom: Why Electrode? Why would you join them?
Electrode: It was a choice between living or dying.
Tribe Leader Persian: And now it's time, for your reawakening! (Bittercold rises to the top of the Holehills)
Alakazam: (Looks up and sees the rest attacking) It has begun…
Clefable: This can't be.
Z: It's still alive?!
Aurorus: (Top floor of the base; watches the rest attack and commands the rest to stop) Stop all of your attacks!
Primeape: Christ, Bittercold is still alive…
Arbok: I can't believe thisss.
Tribe Leader Persian: Now my friend, rebuild the palace that was once called home and DESTROY THIS LAND TO CREATE OUR NEW WORLD!
(Bittercold rises, but suddenly ignored Persian's commands, suddenly shoots a blast of ice towards him)
Tribe Leader Persian: What?! (Angered) Why are you attacking the one who has revived you?! I have helped you live and now you will go against your savior?!
?: (distant voice emancipating around the room) You mean I was the one who found Bittercold's remains.
Tribe Leader Persian: Weavile?! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!
Tribe Leader Weavile: You say that you revived it from dissipating, but you weren't the one who found its remains or what was left over of the Glacier Palace. Besides, you taking over the whole entire tribes?! (Mocks Persian) How pathetic, you couldn't even handle situations on your own with that prosthetic paw of yours so you need a team of grunts to help with your so called "plans"!
Tribe Leader Persian: What is your point with this rambling nonsense?
Tribe Leader Weavile: (Crosses the Tribe Leader) This is what it means. Staying with this cult has been a bore. The rest have grown sick and tired of what you do around here. So much for Whimsicott leaving you.
Tribe Leader Persian: (Begins to use Hone Claws) (Threatens Weavile) You better return those fucking words you said or I will rip off your damn throat.
Weavile: It's just like you said before Persian, there is no hope for you since your greatest strengths becomes your greatest weaknesses. Thanks to you, I am able to show the entire world what a creation we have created, no thanks to you.
Tribe Leader Persian: I will not let you! Shadow Claw!
Weavile: (Quickly dodges and uses Night Slash) Hehehe… (Persian is struck by the Night Slash and loses another limb)
Bisharp: Woah…
Banette: Bisharp, now!
Bisharp: Oh, right! Iron Head! (Hits a Tyranitar)
Bellossom: (Bisharp cuts the band) Thanks, Petal Blizzard!
Gardevoir: Energy Ball! (Tyranitar faints)
Gourgeist: (Banette cuts the band from Gourgeist) Finally, I am free.
Scizor: (Looks at Persian) What about him?
Klefki: I'd say it is best if we leave him, considering the fact that even if we try to help him, he will return to his antics again.
Electrode: Now isn't the time to condemn our sorrows or hatred towards hi, our enemy are them now.
Weavile: Heroes! Do not even bother trying to stop us! You, the tribes, or any being on Earth cannot stop what Bittercold will unleash to this world! Until then, we shall meet! (Climbs onto Bittercold and both leave)
(Alakazam, Clefable, Greninja and Golurk appears)
Claydol: Where does that puts us now? The world is already destroyed by them and now the villagers of Borthstone Peak is against us.
Alakazam: As of now Claydol, our only opportunity is to do as much as we can to restore the village and become stronger until Bittercold strikes again.
Greninja: (Sees Electrode getting out) Where are you going Electrode?
Claydol: Where are you going Electrode?
Electrode: …
Claydol: Electrode you're a fucking idiot. C'mon, I knew you for so long. Even if we are huge pain in the asses, I still got your back always, but why is it that you wouldn't tell us about you joining the tribes?
Electrode: … (Uses Flash)
Alakazam: Miracle Eye*!
Claydol: (Electrode disappears) (Whispers) Damnit Electrode, why?
Tribe Leader Persian: (Bleeding out from his front limb; laughs menacingly despite his bleeding) You fools, there's nothing you can do. The sacrifices you make result in the loss of those who are close to you.
Scrafty: You know what's our sacrifice Persian? Saving your sorry ass from bleeding. So, I suggest you shut your goddamn mouth or I will put a "Do Not Resuscitate" band around you.
Mienshao: Golurk, got any ideas on what we should do?
Golurk: As a matter of fact, I do. I know some old friends that can help us but I don't think now would be a good time since we have to work on our problems.
Clefable: Let's just get out of here.
(Several hours later after escaping the Holehills)
Villagers: (Throws several items to the crew and their half-destroyed home) Get out of our village! You are no longer wanted here! Get the fuck out of our village! Kill the traitors who did this to us
Mamoswine: I don't know how much longer we can take from them.
Aegislash: Just focus on rebuilding the house. I got this.
(Someone shoots a Hyper Beam, a Flamethrower, and a Sky Attack at their house injuring a couple of the heroes)
Hypno: They have gone too far. (Confronts) Listen all of you, ungrateful pieces of shit, I don't care if you adore us or hate us, we helped stopped the tribes from causing further damage from the village. All you care is about preserving the village with the strength that is inside every one of you, but what do I see? A couple of cowards who didn't have the balls to stand up and fight to protect their village! Want to know what I see? Pokémon dying left to right, from your children, friends, husbands, wives, every single Pokémon dead because you couldn't do a single thing to save the ones you love! You think we empathize your losses?! No because we have to deal with ours who fought hard to take care of this damn village! YOU WANT ME TO BE THE BAD GUY HERE?! Fine I wouldn't give a fuck since I am risking my life and blood rescuing every single member of my family. You want us out, we'll leave but by the time we do, I hope this place crumbles into bits of rubble until it no longer exists since the Pokémon here can't understand what it takes to appreciate those who are different than others.
Kricketune: Hypno, are we really going to leave?
Hypno: We have to, Birthstone Peak was our heart and pride, now it is just ruptured and hopeless*.
Whiscash: I'm afraid he's right Kricketune. The Pokémon here never appreciated us from the start, plus injuring the Joltik pack was not only an act of retaliation, but an act of going too far since these Joltiks were abandoned. I raise every single one of them as if I was their guardian.
Claydol: So when do we begin the migration?
Lurantis: Tomorrow morning.
Honchkrow: Well then, our journey in finding a new home is our only focus for now.
Claydol: (Looks up at the stars and whispers) Electrode… where did you go?
(Miles away from Birthstone Peak across an island from the south end)
Electrode: Please don't find me… even if you are watching Alakazam, I know that Miracle Eye skill you have learned. Just please… don't find me…
End of part 4.
Honchkrow: Celebi.
Celebi: Yes?
Honchkrow: I need your help.
Celebi: Sure, what it is?
Honchkrow: Can you take Poncho, Grumpig, Probopass, Mothim, and I to the Sealed Ruins?
Celebi: Why?
Honchkrow: We need to bring back an old friend who can help us and clear our past.
Celebi: Oh, hold on, you're also from the—?
Honchkrow: Yes. We were, until we escaped a long time ago. Now I need to bring in my friend back. She may help us.
Celebi: We only have time six hours until we head out. We'll do this quick. (Opens the Passage of Time) Come on, all of you.
Probopass: Aye, we're bringing her back.
Mothim: Mismagius, we're coming back…
*Alakazam's Miracle Eye is special since he is able to locate anyone if they try to use a move to escape such as Haze, Flash, Smokescreen, or Attract
*When Hypno mentions how Birthstone Peak was "our heart and pride", he was meaning how the majority of the group were raised there. "Ruptured and hopeless" infers about the reality of Pokémon who share similar values to humans where there are others who don't care about who they are but appreciate themselves or those who are like them
*FPII (Federal Pokémon of Intelligence and Investigation)- Similar to the FBI but corrupted due to working with Weavile.
