Oh Arceus, is this chapter pointless. Really, almost nothing happens in this chapter other than another fight with this universe's equivalent to "them". Also an evolution *spoiler alert*, but it really doesn't serve any purpose to the plot in the long-run.

That morning, I realized that there was someone watching us. I walked around to investigate, but then I was attacked by a familiar trio.

"Ekans!" said Ekans.

"Koffing!" said Koffing.

"And Meowth!" said Meowth.

"We are the boss's greatest assassins!" the trio said in unison. (Gee, doesn't this sound familiar?)

"Not you idiots again?" I muttered, apparently loud enough for them to hear me.

"Hey! We went to a lot of trouble tracking you and your friends down! We just recovered from an attack by a cranky gang of Gyarados, and you have the gall to call us idiots?" shouted Ekans.

"Well, no offence, but I'm only speaking the truth. I mean, your entrance is really bad, if you don't mind me saying. And your fighting-style is a bit of a letdown to your fellow thugs."

"I will not be insulted by this indignity!" Ekans shouted, while Meowth and Koffing tried to calm her down (and try to restrain her from attacking me without their plan). (This couldn't possibly who you guys are probably thinking of right now! *laughs sarcastically*)

"Don't listen to him, Ekans." said Koffing.

"Yeah, what does a bum like him know about respect?" said Meowth, who was still restraining Ekans. (Nope. I didn't have him say what you all thought he probably should've said)

"I don't care!" said Ekans. "I want to destroy him!"

"And you will. Now, let's get rid of this guy so we can head back to the boss!" said Koffing.

"Yeah!" everyone shouted in unison.

"I can't believe you guys." I muttered under my breath.

"Now, time to get rid of you once and for all!" Meowth shouted.

"Yes, but let me handle this, Meowth." said Ekans.

Then, Ekans slithered in front of me, as she prepared herself for the fight that was about to come. I just had to charge up a Thunderbolt before I saw her begin to glow.

Don't tell me she's going to evolve, I thought.

I was right. When the glow died down, I realized that Ekans had grown longer, and had taken on the appearance of a cobra. She had evolved into an Arbok!

"Now I've got some power on my side!" Arbok shouted.

"It's not really going to matter though." I said as I released my Thundershock, which did quite a bit of damage to Arbok.

"Ouch!" Arbok shouted.

"Arbok, tag me!" Koffing shouted.

Arbok switched places with Koffing, but realized they'd made a huge mistake when I released Thunderbolt on Koffing. He was knocked out cold, forcing Meowth into the fight.

"Now, how do I take you down? Oh, I know, how about with Double Team!" I said as I used my Double Team ability. The clones surrounded the trio and I commanded them to use Thunderbolt on them to send them flying.

The fight woke up Togepi, who was surprised to see I had defeated the evil trio single-handedly. She asked why I was up, and I told her about my dream, which brought a few tears to her eye.

"This is bad. If Mewtwo finds us, we could be in serious danger." said Togepi.

"Not only that, if we don't get to Mew before he does, Jigglypuff's Elite Council will only be the first of the Pokémon who die." I told her.

"We have to get going, Pikachu. We have to wake up the others and tell them about your dream, and continue following the map's trail."

"I completely agree, but what about those guys." I said referring to the three idiots that I just defeated.

"What do you mean?" Togepi asked.

"If Meowth and the others tell Mewtwo where we're going, he could send out Aerodactyl or someone else that's super strong and incredibly evil to try and kill us."

"Then we have to go, now."

I think it's pretty evident by now that I'm just making Pokémon evolve whenever the plot (or in this case, almost lack-thereof) demands it. Good Lord, that was gratuitous. And you know what's the worst part? There's another one coming up soon enough. I'm not spoiling who, but once the chapter comes around, you can tell who it'll be.

Remember to review, and I'll see you guys later.
