Okay, I updated earlier than what I thought I would. I hope you like the new chapter and please let me know what you think.
Lilo & Stitch and Pokémon do not belong to me they belong to their respective creators.
Make sure to read the bottom as it relates to what you can expect in upcoming chapters.
Enjoy, and please comment and review.
Local Cooling: The New Ice Age!
Location: Professor Oak's ranch
"Okay Axew, dodge it!" Iris commands. The little dragon type successfully dodges Pudge Junior's tackle. "Now use scratch!"
"Axew!" the tusk pokémon cries as he raised his claws into the air and lunged at the fish pokémon. Lilo smirked.
"I don't think so; Pudge Junior let's show them your new move!" Lilo commands.
"Magi!" the fish cries as he jumps into the air, successfully dodging the scratch attack and slams into the little dragon with his new move! Having gone over the pokédex entry on magikcarps she found it disgusting that they're labeled as a pathetic pokémon; so for the past few days she's been doing a lot a reading and found that it can learn three attacks – two naturally and one through tutoring.
So with some patience, perseverance, and determination Lilo managed to successfully teach Pudge Jr. the move bounce, which is exactly what he used on Axew. Now Lilo's magikarp knows three moves: tackle, flail, and bounce. He also knows splash – but Lilo never uses it.
"Axew!" the tusk pokémon cries in pain from the bounce attack.
"Now Pudge Jr. let's use flail!" Lilo exclaims; the carp-like pokémon lunges and repeatedly slaps Axew with his tailfin.
"I'm impressed by how well a magikarp is doing," Professor Oak says to himself.
"I know what you mean; I've would have never thought a magikarp was capable of battle," Tracey adds, finding this astonishing. "Who could imagine such a thing?
"I can," Ash murmures, remembering how Dawn's piplup lost miserably to one in the Sinnoh Region and how he and Pikachu nearly lost but the match but exhaustion brought it to a draw. And that's in a magikarp's element, this battle is taking place of dry earth! Pikachu nods his head, remembering the day well.
"This is just marvelous and comes to show that when trainer and pokémon join as one any pokémon can be brought to its fullest potential," Cilan joyfully exclaims.
"Okay Pudge Jr. let's finish this with another tackle!" Lilo instructs.
"Magi!" the fish pokémon cries as it gains a burst in speed and hurdles towards Axew. It's like he's flying!
"Axew counter with dragon rage!" Iris commands. The dragon opens his mouth and fires a blast of blue and black energy that meets Pudge Junior's tackle head-on!
Pudge Jr. keeps his attack going through Axew's attack till he's just inches from the mouth when an explosion occurres sending both combatants back. When the smoke clears the win belong to… no one. The match is a draw!
Both girl's approach their pokémon and congratulate them. Lilo returns her new friend for a long deserved rest while Iris cradles her little dragon. "That was absolutely remarkable!" Cilan cheers as he approached the two.
"That was great Lilo! You truly are a great trainer," Ash compliments her.
"Pika pika pi chu," Pikachu adds.
"That was indeed," the professor adds to Ash's comment. "In all my years I would never have thought a magikarp could hold power of any sorts."
"Thank you, but Pudge Jr. did have a great partner to battle with," Lilo says, gesturing to Iris. Everyone nods and continues talking about what a great battle that was.
"Glalie!" the ice type congratulates the two girls making one of them sweat drop.
"Ice type!" Iris cries in fright, her Axew doing the same as they run for cover. Everyone just tilts their head at the scene. Every time Glalie comes into the scene this always happens.
"So why is it again she's scared of ice types?" Lilo asked her friends. Everyone just shrugs.
"I believe it's do to the fact ice type moves are super effective against dragon types," Cilan explains. Lilo nods.
"Oh; but wait, I thought dragon type moves were super effective too. Why isn't she scared of dragons then?" Everyone just shrugs their shoulders, unsure about why.
Location: Professor Oak's Lab
"Don't bother, I know what you're gonna say. I already know I need to work on my fear of ice types," Iris says to her friends, as they enter through the door.
"Well, all right, would you like to start now?" Ash asks.
"Maybe at another time," the dragon specialist replies quickly. Lilo takes the opportunity to sit next to her.
"You know, it's perfectly normal to have fears," Lilo states. "Like, I have a slight fear of thunderstorms and heights."
"Or my fear of purrloins," the connoisseur exclaims shakily, getting a few awkward stares.
"Or Stitch's fear of water," Lilo adds. Everyone looks at Stitch, making the experiment slightly uneasy. Yaarp knows this but no one else did.
"He is?" Tracey asks, finding this discovery rather surprising. Lilo nods.
"Yeah, his molecular structure is so dense that he'll sink." Everyone nods in understanding. Lilo then giggles at a funny memory. "You should have seen how he was during bath time; he would –"
"Yawn," the blue furred experiment sighs a fake yawn. Lilo nods in understanding and takes big breath.
"He insisted on floaties and would cry and run around the house when ever I mentioned the word bath," Lilo exclaims swiftly. Everyone's snickering and laughing embarrasses Stitch to the point that his blue fur can't even hide his flushed cheeks. Now that's something Yaarp did not know and laughs at his cousin.
Stitch immediately evacuates to another room where he is soon met by a laughing Muk and Rotom. "But yeah, we all have fears, and like Stitch, I'm sure you'll be able to over come it."
"Hey, that's right; Iris, didn't you overcome your fear with Georgia's vanilluxe?" Cilan recalls.
"Yeah, that's right," Iris exclaims. "Next ice type I will take on!" she proclaims while pumping her fist into the air.
"Great! I'll go get Glalie," Ash announces, only for Iris to grab his arm. The boy looks at her questionably.
"At another time," the girl explains.
"Warning! Experiment 523 activated. Primary function: freeze inducer," the experiment container announces showing the image of the ice type experiment. Iris tenses up at the sound of that.
"W-who's th-that experiment?" Iris stutters nervously.
"That's Slushy, experiment 523! He's designed to turn lush tropical planets into arctic wastelands!" Lilo explains with urgency.
"Ah! My most horrid nightmare!" Iris screams. "You can leave me out of this one!"
"Axew!" the tusk pokémon exclaims, agreeing with his trainer. Everyone nods in understanding as Tracey heads over to see the location of activation.
"It's in a place back in Unova –"
"Red one!" Stitch cheers knowing they'll be taking the police cruiser now. Tracey continues.
"In a place called the Village of Dragons."
Ash, Pikachu, and Cilan tense up knowing Iris is not going to take the news well.
"What?!" "Axew?!" Iris and Axew shriek. "Of all places, of all places, why did an ice age making experiment have to activate in the Village of Dragons?!" she yells.
"What's wrong with the village of Dragons?" Lilo asks.
"That's where Iris is from," Cilan fills in the Hawaiian native.
"Oh," she and Stitch say.
"Well what are you guys waiting for!? We got to go now!" Iris screams, grabbing Stitch's paw to take him to the police cruiser.
"But Iris, what about the ice –?" Ash didn't finish his sentence, for Iris shoots hims a nasty glare.
"This is my home!" she screams and runs out the door. Ash, Pikachu, Lilo, and Cilan follow Iris to the ship, leaving Tracey and Professor Oak back at the lab. But before leaving Ash makes sure to bring some pokémon he feels will be necessary for this capture.
Location: Police cruiser
With everyone in their spot, within the cruiser, Stitch pulls the lever. "Hyperdrive sequence activated," a computerize voice informs, as the engines roar louder and the craft lifts up into the air.
"Hyperdrive!?" Iris and Cilan shriek.
"Get me off this crazy thing!" Cilan cries. Too late, Stitch pushes the lever back in.
"Initiating hyperdrive!" the computer states. The cruiser hurdles through the daytime sky faster than the speed of light.
Location: Unspecified
Up in the sky Team Rocket's hot air balloon drifts in the wind as the trio waits for another experiment to activate.
"Why can't we ever just win for once?" Jessie murmurs.
"Is one experiment too much to ask for?" Meowth asks to no one in particular.
"It's like we're in some kind of Fan fiction story we're destined to lose in," James murmurs. "Ooh, maybe I should start an account," he suggests.
"No one would ever want to read your stories!" Jessie yells at him.
"What do you think the next experiment will be?" Meowth asks.
"Who knows? Probably a black hole maker," Jessie randomly guesses.
"Warning! Experiment 523 activated. Primary function: freeze inducer," the EH machine hums, showing a holographic image of an ice bodied experiment.
"Freeze inducer?" Jessie and James repeat in question.
"We hit the motherload!" Meowth squeals.
"How so?" Jessie asks.
"Picture it; say on a hot summer afternoon the air conditioning goes out," Meowth reasons, starting the fantasy. "The temperature would swelter in the boss's house and make it really uncomfortable; so imagine when 523 shows up and chills down his house. Or say he's at the park and wants a snow cone, but he doesn't have money. So 523 comes along and makes him a few, for free! He'd be so happy he'd say, Thanks to the work of my dedicated agents I am now assured during the scorching heat. So as a sign of gratitude I will give them a major bonus on their next paycheck."
"I love it!" Jessie squeals.
"Stupendous!" James adds.
"Watch out experiment 523, for Team Rocket is on the way!" the three cheer in unison.
"Wobbuffet!"
"Mime mime!"
Location: Nearing the Village of Dragons
The cruiser has just finishes its hyperdrive sequence and is now flying at a more normal pace.
"We almost there," Stitch informs everyone. While Ash, Pikachu, and Lilo are all right with hyperdrive Iris, Axew, and Cilan had gripped their chest and are breathing rapidly.
"You all right?" Ash asks his friends. They nod.
"Yeah," they reply shakily.
The police cruiser continues on as it nears Iris's and Axew's homeland. Soon the dark grey clouds of winter replace the bright sunny skies. The clouds block out the warmth of the sun. Reading the thermostat, the temperature drops from a warm 88 degrees Fahrenheit (31.111 Celsius) to 15 degrees Fahrenheit (-9.4444 Celsius) within minutes.
Luckily there are coats in the back for everyone once they land. This sure brings back memories for Lilo and Stitch on how Slushy nearly turned Hawaii into an arctic wasteland, and the ice castle Gantu had him make.
"I think we're going to need a plan of action," Cilan informs, having calmed down since the cruiser is now flying at a more normal speed. Everyone nods in agreement.
"Well, I made sure to take all of my fire pokémon so I know we'll have a great advantage," Ash informs everyone.
"But we may need more. Ever since Slushy lost to Splodyhead he's always had a slight grudge against him and I'm sure it will rub off on fire types," Lilo explains. Everyone looks at her oddly about why she would name an experiment Splodyhead. "I was six!"
"Hmm, Lilo's definitely right; especially since we'll be in Slushy's element," Cilan adds.
"Please don't remind me. Ah!" Iris screams as the police cruiser shakes violently and the alarm siren activates.
"Cousin!" Stitch hollers, pointing out the window. It's Slushy using icy wind and ice beam! He's using icy wind to keep him up in the air and ice beam to freeze the engine.
"The engine's frozen!" Iris screams.
"Warning! Engine is frozen," the computer pointlessly adds.
Stitch yanks on the controls to gain some control and presses another button. From underneath the cruiser a plasma blaster emerges and starts firing. Slushy uses ice beam to make himself a bat and swats each plasma blast away.
"He's tough!" Ash compliments the experiment's strength.
Slushy lifts out his arms and summons a major blizzard making the ship shake more violently. Everyone on board screams. The ice experiment isn't done there; with one more breathe the experiment uses another ice beam!
The alarms beep louder. "Ah! The other engine is frozen!" Ash reports, seeing the block of ice encasing the other engine.
"Warning! The other engine is frozen," the cruiser's computer adds the all ready known.
"We're gonna crash!" Cilan screams. Everyone screams with him.
"Warning! Prepare for crash landing," the police cruiser's computer instructs.
The police cruiser begins plummeting to the icy earth below pleasing the ice experiment greatly. The ship continues losing altitude.
"If we don't think of something quick we're not coming out of this one!" Cilan cries.
"Stitch, do something, quick!" Lilo commands.
"Ih!" Stitch responds by opening the hood of the cruiser, stunning the passengers to the point of screaming. The force of the wind sucks Stitch away from his seat and, with his mighty strength, manages to grab hold of the frozen engine and begins punching off the ice.
"It's not going to be enough time!" Iris screams. Ash throw one of his poké balls into the air.
"Charizard help Stitch out and melt the ice off the engines!" Ash commands the fire/flying type as he exits his poké ball. The fire type roars loudly as he uses flamethrower on the ice-covered engines. As Ash hoped, the ice melts and the engines hum back to life!
"The engines are working!" Cilan screams in joy.
"Diagnostic report: engines operational," the computer states the all ready known. Stitch climbs back into the captain's seat and Ash recalls his charizard, before Stitch closes the cruiser's hood.
Stitch yanks on the cruiser's yoke (plane's steering wheel) and just before a head on collision with the ground the craft gains enough upward thrust to crash on its belly. Now the ship slides on the snow and ice of the ground and comes to a halt when it crashes into a statue of Reshiram and Zekrom. Luckily the statues aren't damaged or Iris would have a fit.
The hood of the cruiser pops off as Ash and Co. jumps out shakily. "What happened here?!" the Village elder questions before gasping at what she sees. "Iris?! What are you doing here?"
"It's a long story? B-but can we go somewhere warm first?" a shivering Iris pleads.
Location: Village Elder's home
"A genetic experiment, you say?" the Village Elder gasps in surprise. This is also the same reaction for Shannon, Iris's friend, as they all huddle near a fireplace.
After arriving they explain about the experiments and their origins and why they're all here, thanks to Hamsterviel's plot. This must have been one story because the elder actually feels a little dizzy. "Village elder, are you all right?" Iris and Shannon ask, rushing to her aid.
The elder doesn't fall but she nods. "I'm fine girls, thank you," she says as she takes a seat on her chair. Looking around Iris notices something odd. She sees several hatchling Axews, deinos, and a druddigon but something is missing.
"Shannon, where's Zweilous and Hydreigon?" she asks her friend. Shannon looks down in sorrow.
"They were caught in the experiment's ice beam attack and we can't thaw them until it's gone." Iris understands and consoles her friend.
While consoling her friend she and Axew are boiling inside. How dare this experiment arrive to their home and turn this dragon paradise into an arctic wasteland! "I will defeat this experiment!" Iris yells to the sky.
"But how?" Shannon asks, finding this attitude surprising.
"With this," Lilo informs, showing her a poké ball.
"How does a poké ball help us with this issue?" the village elder questions.
"When an experiment is weekend they can be captured inside poké balls just like regular a pokémon," Cilan elaborates.
"And it turns them back to good," Ash adds. The news is surprising to the elder and takes some time to think.
"Hmm, have you devised a plan of action?" the elder asks. Ash nods and rubs the back of his head.
"Sort of; I made sure to bring all of my fire types," he explains. The elder nods at his honesty.
"Iris, does your dragonite know any fire type moves?" the elder asks. Iris nods. "Good because I think I have a plan." Now this stuns everyone.
"You do?" Iris and Shannon ask.
"Gaba?" Stitch adds.
"You want to help us?" Lilo, Ash, and Cilan ask. The elder nods.
"Of course; this is my village and I have a duty to protect it at all costs," she explains. "Now please, huddle around." Everyone gathers around her and listens to the genius plan.
Location: Team Rocket's hot air balloon
"Brr! I hate the cold," Jessie whines. Not even the thick jacket seems to help with the chill.
"Don't worry Jessie, once we capture experiment 523 we'll be out of here," Meowth promises.
"Just keep your mind focused on the bonus," James says, giving her the incentive to continue. Jessie sighs.
"You're right!" she says with new confidence. "We're here to capture 523 and that's exactly what we're going to do!" she says, pointing her finger randomly into the air.
That's when she notices the ice type experiment just feet of way, using icy wind to stay afloat. "Experiment 523!" all three exclaim. The experiment just looks at them.
"Uh, how much of that did you hear?" James nervously asks.
"Because we were just kidding about the 'capture' thing," Jessie insists.
"Yeah, when we say capture we really mean to, uh, recruit," the cat scratch pokémon lies with a nervous chuckle. He hands out a pen and contract. "Would you like to join?"
The experiment just glares at them. "That's a no, isn't it?" James asks.
"Then we'll do it the old-fashioned way! Seviper –!"
Slushy's ice beam brings Jessie to a halt as the icy beam of energy freezes the trio, encasing them into a single block of ice. To finish it off he uses blizzard that sends the balloon flying away. "It looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" the trio cries at another horrible defeat.
"Wobbuffet!"
"Mime mime!"
Location: The center of the village
A lone flamethrower attack fires in to the chilly by Dragonite, under the command of Iris.
"Great job, Dragonite, keep it up!" Iris hollers from the ground, behind a bush.
As Dragonite continued firing his flamethrower's into the sky it starts to attract the wanted attention of a certain ice type experiment. Using his icy wind attack Slushy speeds towards the dragon type at full speed. In honesty, he loves attacking dragon types because of the type advantage he possesses over them.
"Cousin!" Stitch hollers, pointing at the ice-bodied experiment as he uses icy wing to keep himself up in the air.
"Okay; everyone get ready," the elder orders. Everyone nods and gets into place.
As Dragonite continues using flamethrower, at the very edge of his vision, he spots Slushy's ice beam attack and dodges. Instead of fighting Dragonite flees and Slushy takes off after him, using icy wind to increase his speed. Distance minimizing Slushy unleashes another ice beam attack which Dragonite retaliates with his own ice beam.
The attacks hit head on and causing a massive chunk of ice to form and fall to the ground below. But it isn't done there. Why let such a beautiful ice shard go to waste?
Dragonite races to the ground with Slushy right behind him. Just before the block of ice could hit the ground, the pseudo-legendary flies underneath and captures the ice crystal. Before Slushy cad react Dragonite throws the block of ice right at him.
"Great job Dragonite!" Iris cheers.
To finish it off Dragonite engulfs his body with a blue orb that soon takes the form of a dragon as he hurdles towards Slushy. Slushy uses ice shard but Dragonite's attack is too much! Slushy's eyes widen as the attack strikes head on and knocks him to the ground!
But Slushy is far from over as he summons another icy wind and flies himself back at the dragon and uses icy wind with a direct hit. The super effective move causes significant damage but Dragonite is far from over. In fact; it's all part of the plan.
As Slushy readies an ice shard he feels the sweltering pain of a super effective move: flamethrower! It's Charizard with Stitch riding on top of him. The fire/flying type roars at the success of the attack. "Yeehaw!" Stitch cries with extreme joy.
"It's working!" Lilo and Cilan cheer.
"Now Stitch, knock Slushy down with fire punch!" Lilo hollers the command. Slushy uses icy wind to gain distance.
"Ready partner?" Stitch asks. Charizard smirks as his tail begins to glow a light blue. Stitch hops off the fully evolved starter's back and lands on Charizard's tail. With all his might Charizard swats Stitch right at Slushy. There's no getting away as the gap between the two experiments closes.
Panicking, Slushy uses ice shard at his fellow cousin which Stitch easily smashes out-of-the-way. As the blue furred experiment continues hurdling towards his cousin Stitch's paw bursts into flames, signifying that the fire punch is ready to use. With no escape Slushy can only watch as his world turns to flames with a direct hit to the face.
Slushy plummets to the ground but is still able to battle, using ice beam at Charizard and Dragonite to prove a point. The attack misses and both fully evolved pokémon retaliate with flamethrower. Slushy dodges it and readies ice shard when something grabs his attention – he looks around to see that he's surrounded by fire types! Pignite, Quilava, Torkoal, and Infernape smirk at the experiment and success of the plan. The four fire types are soon followed by Charizard, Dragonite, and Stitch!
That's when Ash and Lilo run into the scene with the others right behind them. "Charizard, Quilava, use flamethrower! Torkoal, use overheat! Pignite, use flame charge! Infernape use flare blitz!" Ash commands his fire types.
"Dragonite you use flamethrower too!" Iris commands.
"And Stitch you finish it off with fire punch!" Lilo commands. Slushy tries to use an attack – any attack! But his strength is gone. One-by-one Charizard, Quilava and Dragonite use flamethrower with a direct hit, along with Torkoal's overheat; then another direct hit from flame charge; and another direct his from flare blitz. And before Slushy can even get back to his feet Stitch finishes him off with the final fire punch.
The punch blasts Slushy back several feet and lies unconscious in the snow. Lilo grabs a poké ball and throw it. "Go poké ball!"
The poké ball hits its target and engulfs the ice making experiment. "Is he captured?" Shannon asks. The village elder shakes her head.
"Not yet," she says as the poké ball continues rolling from side to side. Even when badly beaten Slushy still has a lot of fight and that's when… ding! Everyone sighs with relief at the successful capture of Slushy!
"Yes!" everyone cheers while the elder sighs with relief knowing that they can now return the village back to normal. Lilo retrieves the poké ball and smiles.
"All right guys, you remember the next part of the plan?" Cilan asks the fire types and Dragonite. They all nod and use flamethrower, and overheat, up into the sky creating the ultimate fireball.
For the first time in hours the warmth of the sun's ultraviolet rays begin to break through the grey clouds that veil the sky. Within minutes the grey fades away and the blue is back once again. Now the sun's rays can go back to work and melt all the snow and return the climate back to normal.
With the help of the fire type pokémon and Dragonite they all thaw out all the pokémon inhabitants from their icy tombs. "Zweilous, Hydreigon!" Shannon cries in joy at finally getting to hug her two dragon types again.
"Is village fixed?" Stitch asks. The elder smiles at him.
"Almost Stitch, almost," she says with a smile.
"But I think someone has a serious apology to make," Iris exclaims, glaring at Slushy's poké ball. Lilo nods an understanding and releases the ice maker. He's still pretty beaten but in better shape. Lilo kneels to his level.
"Slushy, I think you owe some apologies." Slushy looks around and knows it was true. With Stitch as his translator Slushy apologizes to the residents and pokémon of the village. The elder smiles and speaks.
"Well Slushy, I think all can be forgiven."
"Village Elder, are you serious?" Iris asks. The elder nods.
"Yes; if what the story, we were told, is indeed correct…" she says, looking at Lilo and Stitch. The two nod and she continues "Then that would make Slushy a pokémon who had no control over his actions," she explains, petting the ice type.
"And Iris," the elder calls, gaining her attention. "Remember, if one is to become a dragon master then you must overcome your fears," she explains noticing how Iris and Axew are keeping a good distance away from Slushy.
Iris and Axew freeze. "Come on Iris, Slushy is nice," Lilo coaxes gently, grasping the girl's hand to bring her over to the experiment.
"Everything oketaka," Stitch assures her. Iris hesitantly lifts out her hand to pet the ice type experiment but the moment Slushy sneezes Iris and Axew are all ready half a mile away.
"I guess some things are easier said than done," Cilan says, giving his input on the situation.
"Ash, do you have any ice types back home?" the elder inquires. Ash nods.
"Yeah; I have a Glalie." The elder nods.
"Good; will you promise me you'll help Iris and Axew with their fear?" she asks.
"You can count on me!" Ash proclaims confidently, before some remaining snow from the trees lands on the trainer's face. Everyone laughs at Ash's misfortune. Even the elder chuckles a good laugh.
"Twenty bucks he fails," Stitch teases making everyone, including the elder, laugh harder.
Location: Remote area in Unova
"My entire body is numb!" James complains as he, Jessie, Meowth, Wobbuffet, and Mime Jr. continue blowing on the ice, trying to thaw themselves free.
"Shut up and keep blowing!" Jessie hisses, then continues blowing on the ice to make it melt faster. That's when an angry beartic walks by an notices that they destroyed his meal. The group sweat drop as it uses ice beam on them.
Location: Slushy's one true place
At the Snowpoint City Gym, the gym leader with a blue sweater tied around her waist enters the battle field of her gym. She had a match earlier today that totaled the battlefield. She grabs a poké and tosses it in the air.
"Okay Slushy, let's get your kiai on and repair the field with ice beam!" Candice orders in a peppy tone. Slushy exits the poké ball and uses ice beam. "And when you're done can you make some more of your delicious shave ices?"
Within seconds the field's ice pillars are back to their full glory. Slushy nods and prepares to make some shave ices.
Slushy's moves – icy wind, blizzard, ice beam, ice shard
