Hey fans! Long story short: Internet service shut down. Waited three and a half months for service to return. Hired friend to keep story from erasing due to 30/60 day trial on this site. Well, back to buisness.
(cracks knuckles and chuckles evilly)
The Meowth balloon hovered above the earth with ease. Inside its green-colored basket were Ash, his yellow partner Pikachu, and their annoying and stupid enemies Team Rocket. All of them were catching Z's.
Bump
That sudden wind jolt woke Ash.
Ash rubbed his eyes and strained to adjust to the daylight. "Morning..." he mumbled. He jerked his head to one side to check on Pikachu, and to the opposite side to where Team Rocket lay.
He carefully leaned to the edge of the balloon basket to scan the ground for any trouble. Nothing.
Then he heard a small "Pi..." sound coming from Pikachu. He was awake too.
"Hey, Pikachu. Sleep well?"
The electric critter nodded. He glanced over at Team Rocket and sighed with relief that they didn't try anything stupid.
Ash reached out for his pack...and cursed himself. It seemed he forgot to bring his equipment in his desperate rush to rendeveous with his mother.
"How could I be so freaking stupid!" he whispered as quietly as he can.
Jessie, James, and Meowth woke up.
"Where the Fearow are we?" James asked.
"What time is it?" Jessie wondered and yawned.
"What's fa breakfast?" Meowth joined in.
Ash stood up and opened his mouth to speak to them.
"In order: No clue. 9:25 a.m. Nothing."
"We're lost?!"
"9:25?!"
"No food?!"
Ash answered "Possibly. Yes. Correct. Take your pick, I've got more."
All three of them groaned in agony.
"I don't wanna starve to death out here! I never had my first date with a pretty girl yet!" James complained.
Jessie took a slight pause from what her dimwitted comrade just said.
"Ahem..." she told James to clue him in.
"What?" he wanted to know.
"Forget it." she snapped back.
The five passengers took a few minutes to think to themselves.
Ash said to Team Rocket "Any of you got a compass, a map, or even radar?"
The crooks shook their heads in a "No" response.
Ash scoffed "Figures..."
Dawn had just told her friends the guy's real name.
"His name's Jardel Vesuvius?" they all asked.
Dawn nodded. "Yep."
"What an odd name." May commented "Is that all you two discovered about him?" she directed her question to Dawn and Max.
"There's another thing about him but you may find it...disturbing." Max warned his friends.
"What's 'disturbing' about this Vesuvius person?" Brock asked the whiz kid.
Max looked him straight in the "eye" and said coolly, "You know why he wears those sunglasses all the time other than to block sunlight? It's because his eyes are very disfigured, as if he got burned or injured. They fell off his face while we were performing a search and we both got a glimse of his condition."
"His eyes are messed up and they fell out!?" May said with a tiny speck of fear inside.
Max corrected her, "No, I meant his glasses, not his eyeballs!"
"Maybe his condition was caused by the Draconians in his Urth homeworld." Dawn guessed.
May looked at her, "You really think so, Dawn?"
Dawn shrugged her shoulders.
They turned their heads when they heard Jardel wake up grunting loudly in pain, almost shouting the strongest cuss word.
He got up, grabbed his sunglasses and quickly put them back on. Then he began to walk away to a tent with a mysterious book in his hand.
Brock was stunned. "What's the deal with that book he's carrying?"
Dawn said, "Maybe it's a novel to, you know, pass the time?"
"Perhaps it's a journal or planner to keep track of his time here in our world." May suggested.
"Whatever it is," Max said in a mono-like tone "I'd rather not intrude on him again. I feel kinda bad for violating his identification privacy."
Dawn was starting to feel the same.
Brock reminded the group about looking for Ash and Pikachu and they left Jardel alone with his book thingy.
11:53 am
Ash stomach was beating itself up. "Of all the times to leave my stuff behind other than my pokemon..." he thought.
Flying in the balloon all day was beginning to bore him. Since he woke up, Ash was on high alert for any Draconian sightings below the aircraft. At least it made him ignore his hunger for a while.
Suddenly he heard a noise behind him and he spun around. He couldn't believe what he was seeing: Despite an apocalyptic event going on, the three thieves were hatching yet another Pikachu theft attempt!
"What the hell are you bastards think you're doin' now?!" he shouted in suprising rage.
"Doing what we do best and that's swiping your Pikachu!" Jessie said while putting rubber gloves on her hands. James and Meowth were reinforcing her.
"What you do 'best' is getting your assess kicked which I'm gonna do right-"
Meowth stopped his speech by holding up his paws, one holding a lighter, the other holding a classic black bomb with a ready-to-light fuse on top.
"If ya try ta stop us, we all die!" He placed his thumb on the lighter's rotating wheel and aimed the tip of it near the fuse.
Ash scoffed. "Yeah right! You ain't got the guts."
The lighter activated, the fire was dangerously close to the bomb fuse. "Just try us!" The cat pokemon said and glared at his enemy with a life-threatening look in his eyes.
"Oh, shit...!" Ash thought. "They're really gonna pull it off!"
"Now, stand down little boy and don't try anything stupid." James ordered.
Ash Ketchum felt he had no choice but to obey. He lowered his fists and knelt down. "I seriously hope those Draconian gods get you good!" he promised them.
Team Rocket ingnored him and requested Pikachu.
Pikachu hesitated at first, but he looked at his trainer and saw the look on him that meant to cooperate with them. The critter proceeded to his now-captors.
Jessie plucked Pikachu from the floor and James and Meowth were handing her some rope and duct tape to restrain the pokemon.
While their backs were turned, Ash sprang into action. He kicked James in the groin, punched out Jessie and picked up Meowth and used him like a clubbing weapon to smack tha crap out of the thieves.
"One of Ash's pokeballs dropped from his belt during the fight and released Aipom.
"Aipom, help me! Keep Pikachu safe for me!" Ash commanded while he was busy.
Pikachu and Aipom huddled together and watched their master and Team Rocket beat one another senseless.
All that moving and struggling was causing the balloon to tumble a little bit. "Take that, bitch!" Ash shouted after he headbutted Jessie and crashed James' neck against the side of the balloon basket, causing him to gag for air.
After Meowth latched onto Ash and started choking him, the balloon hit a very tall tree. It burst and simply hung there with everybody hanging on for dear life!
"Oh, no! Oh, no!" James shrieked. He looked down and shrieked again.
"You see what happens when you three screw things up?!" Ash said angrily.
"If you had just handed us your damn Pikachu, we wouldn't end up like this!" said Jessie.
Ash got so mad he jammed both feet against her and James in their sides and ordered Pikachu to shock them all.
Team Rocket screamed in pain.
"Apologize now!" he demanded.
"NEVER!!!" they responded.
Ash ordered another "shocker" followed by tickle torture by Aipom and Staravia who was just released from his pokeball.
The trio were fried again and were laughing their heads off.
"You gonna repent now or risk it more?"
Team...Rocket...n-never...re-repents...ever...! Jessie tried to say due to Staravia tickling her exposed belly.
James and Meowth couldn't take any more and were about to submit when they heard footsteps.
Everybody stopped moving and talking to listen in, including Ash's pokemon. They looked around in horror for they knew something was coming.
Something BIG!
James peed his pants a little.
Many flying pokemon took to the skies as the sound grew louder.
Some trees fell down and the thing making the footstep sounds revealed itself.
It was Sauron!!!
Well, are you satisfied or are you satisfied, people? Sauron is here and man is he starving! Team Rocket Hor 'Dourves on a stick anybody! it's freeeeeeeee...!!! No refills!
