After earning the Marsh Badge from Sabrina, our heroes continue their adventure as they have come across a mountain area.
"How long until we get to Celadon City?" Davis said. "I want to get that fifth badge as soon as possible."
"Calm down. It's going to take us a while before we even get there." Kari said.
"How about we stop and have some lunch?" Ash said.
"No way. We can still go a little further." Davis said.
"I am getting a little hungry." Kari said.
"Like I said. Let's stop for lunch." Davis said. That caused Ash to trip up and fall on his face.
"Pikachu, we're a third wheel." Ash said. He looked up and he saw something move from side to side and it was incredibly fast. "What is that?"
Pokemon
Pokemon
Pokemon!
Let's do it
I want to be the very best
Like no one ever was (Ever was, ever was)
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
My whole life has led to this
Time to test my skill
I know I just can't miss
Gonna show the world
Born to be a winner (Kanto)
Born to be champion
Born to be a winner
Born to be the very best (Pokemon Kanto)
Born to be a winner
Pokemon!
(Davis' voice) Jaws of Fight
All of them saw the strange moving object, but none of them could even tell what it is. That is until it landed down in front of them. It was big, green, and it looked like someone the others except Ash and Pikachu knew very well.
"Stingmon!" Imperialdramon said.
"Good to see all of you again." Stingmon said.
"Sounds like you know him." Ash said as he took out his pokedex.
"Stingmon, the Stinger pokemon and the evolve form of Wormmon. Stingmon are considered the fastest bug types that no one even knows one is near until one attacks."
"The evolve form of Wormmon?" Ash said. He knew only one person with that as his partner.
"If you're here…." Davis said, but someone beat him to the punch.
"How's it going guys?" All of them looked up and saw Ken.
"I knew you had to be somewhere near." Davis said as Ken slid down to talk to them.
"Haven't seen you guys in a long time." Ken said. "As you can see, Wormmon evolved into Stingmon a while back."
"It's great to see you again." Kari said. "We were on our way to Celadon City. What are you doing out here?"
"There's a rare pokemon out here that I'm trying to catch." Ken said.
"Rare! What pokemon?" Davis said.
"A Tyrunt." Ken said. Davis didn't know what one was so he took out his pokedex.
"Tyrunt, the Royal Heir pokemon. Tyrunt have incredibly strong jaws and when it comes across something it doesn't like, it throws a tantrum and becomes wild."
"Seeing a Tyrunt is rare. They are considered extinct pokemon." Ken said.
"Extinct? So how can there be one here?" Kari said.
"I'm not sure how it could have survived all this time, but that doesn't matter." Ken said. "I want to catch that Tyrunt and add it to my team."
"Sorry, but now that you told me about this, Tyrunt is going to be my pokemon." Davis said.
"I had a feeling he would say that." Stingmon said.
"Sorry, but this pokemon will help me find that Tyrunt." Ken said as he held out a pokeball. "Come out." Ken let it out and it turned out to be a Noctowl.
"Dwloo!"
"A Noctowl!" Ash said and Davis brought out his pokedex again.
"Noctowl, the Owl pokemon and the evolve form of Hoothoot. Noctowl have special eyes that allow them to see in the dark."
"With Noctowl's special eyes, I'll be able to find that Tyrunt." Ken said. "I love to stay and chat, but I got to get moving. Let's go you two." Ken headed off with Noctowl and Stingmon following.
"Ken's really got his eyes set on this Tyrunt." Angewomon said.
"He's going to be disappointed once I find it first." Davis said and ran off.
"Wait for us." Imperialdramon said as all of them tried to follow him. It was a race for the Tyrunt, but there was one more TEAM that was after the Tyrunt.
"Did you hear that?"
"A pokemon that is considered extinct is somewhere around here."
"If anyone is getting that Tyrunt, it's going to be us."
"Wobba!"
…
Ken
Ken headed to the mountain with him and his pokemon came across the cave that he believed they could find the Tyrunt in.
"Are you sure?" Stingmon said.
"Don't be scared. Tyrunt are rock and dragon types so it might be in here somewhere." Ken said. "Noctowl use Foresight and lead the way." Noctowl had rays of light come out of its eyes and led the way with Ken following inside. Davis and the others weren't far behind and came across the same cave.
"Tyrunt is somewhere inside." Davis said.
"But how are we suppose to find it? It could be anywhere." Angewomon said.
"We'll just have to hope for the best." Davis said as he walked inside and the others followed behind. The cave was large and split in different directions. Davis and the others were looking around for that Tyrunt, but there wasn't a sign of it anywhere.
"This cave is huge and it's hard to see." Kari said.
"Maybe Noivern can help by using its sonic waves to locate Tyrunt." Ash said.
"That won't help. Tyrunt could be anywhere." Imperialdramon said as he leaned back, but hit something that jumped. There was enough light for them to see that it was the Tyrunt they were looking for.
"Tyrunt!"
"Whoa! We actually found it." Imperialdramon said.
"Perfect. Finder's keepers. Hitmonlee give me a hand" Davis said.
"Hitmonlee!"
"Tyrunt!" Tyrunt stomped on the ground and rocks covered in blue energy rose out of the ground, but all of them avoided it.
"Tyrunt just used Stone Edge." Ash said. Tyrunt jumped on the ground and the whole place was beginning to shake around.
"Tyrunt must be using Earthquake." Imperialdramon said. The whole place shook so much that the rocks from above began to fall down.
"Look out!" Davis said as all of them moved out of the way, but the rocks piling up caused Davis and his pokemon to be separated from Ash and Kari. "Guys, are you alright?"
"I think so." Ash said.
"Davis, Ash and I are going to head out. Go ahead and catch Tyrunt and we'll meet you outside." Kari said. She knew he would want that Tyrunt and she's going to let him.
"Thanks." Davis said.
"Hitmonlee!"
"There it goes." Imperialdramon said as they saw Tyrunt making a run for it.
"After it." Davis said as they went after Tyrunt. Meanwhile, Ken and his team were looking around for Tyrunt as well.
"Are you sure we're on the right track?" Stingmon asked.
"Unless you have a better idea, I don't know what else to do." Ken said.
"Dwloo!" Both of them looked over to where Noctowl is and they saw Tyrunt run pass them.
"There it is!" Ken said as he was happy to find it, but saw Davis and his pokemon. "Uh oh. Let's go!" Ken and his pokemon got moving and were able to catch up with Davis. "Sorry, but that Tyrunt is mine."
"I don't think so." Davis said. Both of them were getting after Tyrunt and could see light at the end with Tyrunt running out. Davis and Ken followed and they were all outside. Before anyone could do anything though, a steel cage came out of nowhere and trapped Tyrunt.
"Who did that?" Ken said. All three of them looked to see a giant robot that looked like a prehistoric Meowth.
"I bet I know who it is." Davis said as the top opened up.
"Prepare for trouble. We're a blast from the past"
"Make it double. You're ours at last"
"To protect the world from devastation."
"To unite all people within our nation."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above."
"Jessie"
"James"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare for a fight."
"That's right!"
"Wobbafett!"
"It's Team Rocket!" Davis said.
"So these are the crooks I keep hearing about." Ken said.
"Let Tyrunt go." Stingmon demanded.
"You must be kidding." Jessie said.
"Why would we want to let go of such a living ancient pokemon?" James said as the cage was reeled into the machine's paw.
"With our Mecha-Meowth-PH, we'll make you dumb twerps history." Meowth said. The machine extended his tails and attacked, but Stingmon and Imperialdramon grabbed the others and moved away.
"Stingmon, get in there. Use Poison Jab." Ken said.
"Hitmonlee, help Stingmong out with High Jump Kick." Davis said. Both of them jumped up to attack. Hitmonlee held out his leg and Stingmon's stinger glowed purple and they both struck the machine.
"What's the deal? I thought this thin was suppose to be tough?" Jessie said.
"It is. Just watch and see." Meowth said. The machine's teeth were bared and started acting like a chainsaw. The machine came down with the teeth up front and Hitmonlee wasn't going to move out of the way.
"Look out!" Stingmon said as he saved Hitmonlee. "That was close.
"Nice save, Stingmon. Now use your X-Scissor." Ken said.
"Hitmonlee, Double Kick." Davis said. Both of them attacked together and pushed the head of the machine back.
"This isn't good. I say we get while the getting is good. We have the Tyrunt. Let's run." James suggested. "Also before it chews its way out." They looked to see Tyrunt was using Crunch to get out.
"Good point." Meowth said, but before they could do anything, Skarmory came with Steel Wing and slashed against the cage.
"We're coming guys." Ash shouted as he and Kari were coming to the rescue.
"Perfect timing." Davis said. "Team Rocket has Tyrunt. We've got to save them. Hitmonlee, Mega Kick."
"Check out a move Stingmon can use. Stingmon use Blur Strike." Ken said. Hitmonlee kicked the machine and Stingmon unleashed so many kicks that happened so fast and the robot was starting to break apart.
"Wow. Ken and Davis make a great team." Ash said.
"They should. They're best friends." Kari said. "Skarmory, now's our chance to get Tyrunt out. Use Steel Wing and break it free."
"Skarmory!" Skarmory flew in and slashed against the cage and broke Tyrunt free.
"Tyrunt!" Davis shouted as he raced to catch it. Davis was able to catch Tyrunt, but was pushed over the edge.
"Pikachu use Electro Ball." Ash said.
"Angewomon use Hurricane and Skarmory use Air Cutter." Kari said. All three of them attacked. The robot already took so much damage and the three attacks together caused it to blow.
"This is one thing that still isn't history." Jessie said.
"At least we're going down in history." James said.
"Yeah as the most failures." Meowth said.
"We're blasting off again."
"Does this happen a lot?" Ken said.
"More times than it should." Kari said.
"Davis!" Imperialdramon shouted. Everyone slid down and he was knocked out with Tyrunt standing over him. "Davis, tell me you're alright."
"Just stop shouting." Davis said as he got up. Tyrunt started licking him as he was thankful for Davis saving him. "Cut it out. That tickles." Ken could see what was going on as Tyrunt took a big liking to Davis.
"I'm glad you're okay. That was a bad fall." Kari said.
"It looks like you win." Ken said.
"What do you mean?" Davis asked.
"Tyrunt seems to really like you and you did find it first." Ken said. "It would be wrong of me to take Tyrunt after what just happened."
"Wow. Thanks, Ken." Davis said as he stood up and took out a pokeball. "Tyrunt, do you want to come with me?" After Davis just helped saved Tyrunt, how could it say no? Davis tapped the pokeball against Tyrunt and it went inside with Davis having a new pokemon. "Yeah! I got Tyrunt!"
"You've got some strong pokemon." Stingmon said. "Hitmonlee, I'm impressed with your power. I look forward to battling you."
"Hitmonlee Hitmonlee."
"Hitmonlee says that's a promise since he's interested in your power as well." Imperialdramon said.
"I guess I'll be seeing you guys later. Take care of Tyrunt." Ken said as he got his pokemon back in his pokeballs and headed out.
"So long." Ash said.
"Bye, Ken." Kari said.
"I'll take great care of Tyrunt. He and I will be great friends." Davis promised.
After meeting up with Ken, Davis now has a new pokemon: Tyrunt. With Tyrunt being a rare pokemon, we're all sure that it's going to be an interesting member of the family. Now it's off to Celadon City.
