Here we go. This is the real interlude for Chapter 4. Let's see what kind of adventure that our heroes will be in for now.
H
It was now morning outside in Celadon City (7:00 AM) and Andrew was now stretching and was wide awake.
Andrew: Yeah... After all that work we had done, we had definately deserved to have this break.
They had just eaten breakfast and were about to head to their next location.
Pidgeotto: Hmm... That's odd...
Pikachu: What's odd?
Pidgeotto: I have been delivering letters to this city for years, and well... it's never been deserted like this...
The other heroes realized this and were shocked.
Andrew: That is wierd... Where could the people gone off to...?
Squirtle: Hey... I think I hear a huge commotion coming from the Harbor in Fushcia...
Andrew: Well let's go to the-wait, Fushcia actually has a harbor?
Voltorb: Of course it does... Why do you ask...?
Andrew: Well you see... I always thought that the Kanto Region in the Pokemon world was smack-dab center part of the world.
Pikachu: Actually Ash, Kanto is only smack-dab center east part of the world. There are other regions that shall not be named yet, one of them is to the west of Kanto, it is also a neighboring region of Kanto and it is also the setting for the Generation after this one...
Andrew: Oh... that makes sense...
They then headed straight for the harbor in Fushcia.
When they got there, they were gawking at the sight of what appears to be a Lapras resting near shore (at least where they load or unload ships and stuff).
Andrew: Wow. A Lapras... but anyway, come on. Let's get a closer look.
The allies nodded their heads as they then fought their way through the crowd of people, and when they were near the Lapras, a person was shown. The person was revealed to be none other than...
Squirtle: PROFESSOR ELK! IT'S YOU!
Elk: Hey there Squirtle, my boy. What brings you here?
Andrew: Looking for our next location... What are you doing here?
Elk: Oh just adventuring, as usual...
Andrew: Hey by the way, what have you been doing since we saw you last?
Elk: Uh... been in therapy..
He then started twitching...
Andrew: Uh... right...
Elk: Anyway, I came to this harbor to solve the mystery behind this wierd giant long necked tuna fish creature...
Andrew: Dude... that's not a tuna, nor a fish. It's not even a whale... It's a Lapras, can't you tell...?
Elk: Uh... what's that Mr. Tuna Fish..? You wanna be friends too? That's sweet! Thank you..
Elk then started hugging the Lapras... Leaving the heroes confused...
Andrew: Uh... I think that the whole Ruins blowing up in Vermilion completely affected his brain...
Gastly: Well.. I say he's COMPLETELY insane!
Squirtle: HEY! Don't you talk about my childhood hero like that, you Gastly...
Elk: People having been saying that I've been crazy, but it's the complete opposite. I'm the only person who's actually SANE left in this world!
He then let out a maniacal laughter...
Gastly: He's crazy alright..
Gastly then went and licked Professor Elk, giving him some paralysis, and then managed to knocked him out cold, as the Lapras was incredibly relieved..
Lapras: OH STARS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! THAT DUDE WAS DRIVING ME NUTS!
Andrew: Uh... no problem...
Lapras: Anyway, I have another favor to ask. You see, this strange bug pokemon is squirming around in my stomach, and it's causing so much pain to me, and it's giving me a stomach ache..
Voltorb: Wait... since when did a bug get inside your stomach...?
Lapras: Since I came to this shore and slept with my mouth open... Anyway, I wanted to ask someone over there to help, but they wouldn't help me.. The only person that came was that Professor Elk dude... and he was just driving me insane... So I can only ask you... Can you help me... please?
Magnemite: Of course we can, Mr. Lapras sir..
Andrew: Yeah... sure, we'll help...
Lapras: Thank you so much.. get into my mouth and get rid of that pest...
Andrew: No problem... Guys... I'm gonna only need Magnemite for this one...
The allies aside from Magnemite nodded in agreement...
Andrew: Come on Magnemite, let's do this..
Magnemite: You can count on me boss..
Andrew then manage to grab Magnemite as the two entered the Lapras' stomach...
Andrew: Now Magnemite, listen; do NOT touch anything in this stomach, OK? Otherwise, the results will be awful, understood?
Magnemite: I know Ash.
Andrew and Magnemite then made it to the stomach, where it was completely dark..
Andrew: It's so dark in here..
Suddenly, Andrew felt something sharp hit him..
Andrew: OW! Magnemite, did you do that?
Magnemite: I didn't hit you...
Andrew: Then who did?
Voice: I did!
Andrew had Magnemite use flash as the voice was coming from what appears to be a Weedle...
Andrew: Hey! It's a Weedle...
Weedle: That's right... how dare you shine me with that stupid light... but since you came in here, and after I did all this squirming, I can finally do what I wanted to do..
Andrew: Do what...?
Weedle: This.
The Weedle then managed to cover itself in silk which triggered a flashing light. After the flashing light was gone, the figure that was standing where the Weedle was was a Kakuna...
Andrew: WOAH! You evolved!
Kakuna: That's right suckers! Now you can't catch me!
Andrew: Oh yeah! Watch this...
Andrew got out his hammer as he then went and charged towards the Kakuna, but then he missed and accidentally hit a part of Lapras' stomach...
Andrew: Oops... I shouldn't have done that..
Magnemite escaped through the mouth in time, but Andrew and the Kakuna weren't so lucky as Lapras started to blow them out of his spout (don't ask how a Lapras has one). When they were shot out of the spout, Andrew headed for his team, while another figure broke right out of the Kakuna... It was what now appears to be a Beedrill. Once Andrew landed near his friends and got back up, he saw the Beedrill dancing in victory..
Beedrill: HOORAY! I GOT OUT! I'M A FREE BEE! FREE BEE! FREE BEE! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Charmy: Wanna go to my house and feed on some honey?
Beedrill: You betcha. Let's go.
With that, the Beedrill and Charmy Bee then headed off in the distance...
Andrew: I'm.. not even gonna ask how that happened...
Lapras: Anyway... thank you for helping me out... to show you my gratitude, I am willing to carry you guys on my back to this place called Cinnabar Island, which is my favorite place to go to.
Andrew: Uh... Thanks, but we are looking for the next location we need to head to and...
Lapras: Oh, did I mention that the Master of Doom was seen heading to Cinnabar Island not too long ago...?
Andrew: Wait... did you say Master of Doom?
Lapras: Sure did. He went to drop off something to one of the Pokemon he brainwashed in the volcano there and then took off...
Voltorb: That must of been the fifth Spiritual Card we're looking for..
Andrew: Well... I guess we need to head to Cinnabar Island now... Lapras.. we'll accept your offer.
Lapras: Wonderful. Just jump on my back and I'll carry you guys there...
Andrew: Sweet..
They then approached Lapras.. Before they jump on his back, they saw Professor Elk just waking up...
Elk: Oh.. my aching... where am I? What on Earth happened?
Andrew: Wait... you don't remember...?
Elk: Well.. the last thing I remember was that I was in the grassy plains near Vermilion and then, shortly, I went blank...
Andrew: Hmm.. you see..
Pidgeotto: ...that ruins was over-rated anyway to be honest, just letting you know...
Elk: Oh...
Andrew: Oh, but on the bright side, we are actually to some island to the south of here...
Elk: Did you say island? Where there's an island, there bound to be treasure... and treasure plus adventure equals awesomeness! Count me in...
Andrew: Okay... let's go...
The heroes along with Elk jumped onto the Lapras' back as the Lapras then took off from the shore and headed straight to Cinnabar Island...
V
Meanwhile, Team Villain was looking for the heroes...
Dr. V: Okay... so if I have heard correctly, the Poke hero and his friends were riding on a Lapras and are now heading to Cinnabar Island..
Meowth: That means our next stop is Cinnabar then...
King Parasect: Yeah!
James: Uh... one problem though... how do we get there...? We don't have a boat, nor do we have the money to rent a boat...
Voice: I CAN HELP YOU!
Team Villain: Huh?
They turned around and saw none other than... PROFESSOR OAK! DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!
Dr. V: Oh great... just what are you doing here...?
Oak: I know how to get to Cinnabar Island...
Red Wartortle: Oh yeah... how?
Oak: Use one of my exclusive new motor boat... it's got limited warranty and it's yours for a limited time, and it's also free...
Tutandrowzee: What makes you say that...?
Oak: I know what I'm talking about...
Dr. V: I guess we have no choice... let's do this...
Nottahaunter: YES! Now I can finally kill Ash and get my Lady Gastly back!
General Jigglypuff: YEAH! Let's go..
Team Villain then took Professor Oak's very own exclusive motor boat and place it in the water near the dock as they each got into it...
Dr. V: Let's go..
They then started the motor boat as Team Villain then took off from the dock and were heading for their next location... Professor Oak was then shown laughing maniacally... He then let out a big whistle...
Oak: MY RIDE! GET HERE THIS INSTANT!
Suddenly, a Dewgong arrived at the dock...
Dewgong: How may I help you sire...?
Oak: Take me to the place known as Cinnabar Island, will you?
Dewgong: With pleasure sir..
Oak then jumped into the water and grabbed hold of the Dewgong.. He then got on a Sailor's hat...
Oak: Matey... let's set sail, shall we?
Dewgong: Ay ay, captain..
They then left the harbor as they then headed for Cinnabar too...
THAT'S IT FOR NOW... TEAM VILLAIN ARE PLANNING TO HEAD TO CINNABAR, BUT LITTLE DO THEY KNOW THAT A VERY SPECIAL TWIST IS IN STORE FOR THEM, WHICH WILL OCCUR AFTER THE NEXT TWO CHAPTERS... HOW EXCITING. ANYWAY, NEXT TIME, WE'LL START CHAPTER 5 WHERE THE HEROES MEET NEW PEOPLE AND THEY GAIN ANOTHER ALLY! WHO IS IT GONNA BE YOU ASK? FIND OUT NEXT TIME, MAYBE! TIL THEN, TUNE IN!
