So here is the second interlude of the story. Interesting fact, we're actually going to be seeing Ash's now released Butterfree and his mate as they encounter something. There will also be a scene at the end of this chapter that will feature the setting for a major arc coming up, so expect foreshadowing in this Interlude.
Be warned there is going to be some gruesome scenes coming up in this Interlude.
One more thing, there is going to be some lines from the Pokémon in this chapter, so you'll know what they're saying when they're not around humans. I don't own Pokémon.
Out in the ocean
It's been two days since Ash released Butterfree and now he and his mate are crossing the ocean to start a new family. Butterfree proved himself to the pink Butterfree and this pink Butterfree was glad to accept Ash's Butterfree as her mate.
Now the two needed to figure out where were they going to go? There were some islands along the way, but they needed to find an island that would be most suitable for the two Butterfree.
"So, have any ideas on where you want to go?" Ash's Butterfree asked.
"Well I'm hoping it's somewhere safe and quiet, I do want our babies to be strong as you, but we have to give them a settling environment," the pink Butterfree answered.
Butterfree was gazing around. Sure, there were all these nice islands, but it didn't have to be an island they settle down on. They needed to make sure it was safe, and they could get a good supply of food.
"It's getting late, why don't we sleep for the night," Ash's Butterfree said looking at an island, "Look, we can sleep on that island for tonight."
"Great idea, and we find it comfortable, I might consider this our new home," the pink Butterfree said.
So, with that, Ash's Butterfree and the pink Butterfree landed on the inhabited island to rest up or call this their new home. Finding a mate was tough, but it turns out finding out where they were going to live would be tougher.
Cinnibar Island-Pokémon Lab
Cinnibar Island, one of the biggest tourist destinations in the Kanto region. There were many resorts, beaches, an amusement park, and most importantly, a volcano which turned out to be the main eyesight of the island.
While there were many things people could do in Cinnibar Island, it was home to a Pokémon Lab. Inside the Pokémon lab there were many researchers and machines to help take a deep look into the world of Pokémon. However, one machine stood out among all the others. It was big, had several computers attached to it, and there was even a conveyer belt. This turned out to be a machine that could revive extinct Pokémon with fossils.
There was a scientist who worked on this particular machine. He appeared to be in his mid-twenties, he had short brown hair, wore glasses, wore a lab coat, and black rain boots. He was enthuastic of studying fossils since some were found on Mt. Moon, and now here he was attempting to work on reviving Pokémon.
"Soon, we will be able to revive Pokémon that were extinct for millions of years. It will be a big breakthrough to our studies on ancient Pokémon," the scientist said to himself.
This scientist along with the others in the lab were all hoping that this experiment turned out to be a success.
As he was working, another man walked into the lab. This man had short black hair and he also wore a lab coat. He had on a pink collared shirt with a red tie, wore brown pants, and black shoes. It appears this scientist didn't work in this particular lab, but he had proven to be a scientist.
"Ah Seymour," the other scientist replied greeting the man named Seymour.
"Mister Rikardo, what brings you over from the Silph Company?" Seymour asked the other scientist.
It seems this scientist Seymour was talking to works for the Silph Company. In addition to providing the necessaries for Pokémon trainers, the Silph Company also takes research in Pokémon and creates products of their own. Right now, the company was working on the Master Ball which would catch any Pokémon without fail. Today though, this scientist was here to observe the revival machine that would resurrect fossils.
"Please, call me Hector," the scientist named Hector responded, "I came to see the progress this lab's resurrection machine."
"Well Mr. Rikardo, I mean Hector, we're still in the prototype stage but soon enough it will be able to revive any fossils into a Pokémon," Seymour commented, "Think of it, we can witness many Pokémon from ancient times that most humans have never witnessed."
"Seymour, I think this will be a big breakthrough for Pokémon researchers. Just think of it, we will be able to study how these Pokémon from prehistoric times were able to live," Hector said, "I'm glad that the Silph Company is funding for this project."
It's true, the Silph Company has been funding for this machine since the project started. The reason they did it here in this lab rather than at the Silph Company is because there already so much work going on in there that they didn't seem to have room. Plus, for the fact that the lab on Cinnibar Island is one floor and the Silph Company is a tall building, it would increase safety measures in case anything went wrong.
"So, speaking of business, how is the Master Ball coming along?" Seymour asked.
"We're still working on it, and just like this machine the Master Ball is only a prototype. I think this machine will be ready way before the Master Ball. It could be years before we perfect the Master Ball," Hector explained.
The Master Ball project has been going on for years at the Silph Company and millions of Pokedollars have been spent on the big project. However, it could be a while before it becomes in full use.
Their talks however were interrupted by a loud cry outside. It sounded like there were Pokémon screaming outside. What on earth could cause Pokémon to act like that? It's a possibility that the Pokémon could be attacked.
"Did you hear that?" Hector asked.
"I think it was the cry of Pokémon, I think we should check it out," Seymour suggested, "Even though we're both researchers, we do care about the well-being of Pokémon."
With that, Seymour and Hector ran out of the lab to investigate what is going on in Cinnibar Island. The two scientists did have Pokémon of their own just in case they were going to need to fight.
Out in the Ocean
The two Butterfree were still scouting the area of where they could inhabit. However, the two Butterfly Pokémon came to a halt when they heard cries out in the ocean.
"Do you hear that?" Ash's Butterfree asked.
"Yeah, it sounds like someone's in trouble," the pink Butterfree answered.
Ash's Butterfree took the time to see where the sound came from, and when Butterfree heard the cries again, Butterfree could pick up where it came from. It was near an island filled with tourist.
With that, the two Butterfree flew off towards the direction of Cinnibar Island. Whoever was in danger, the two Butterfree agreed that they would together to save them.
Cinnibar Island-Beach area
Seymour and Hector were outside to try and figure out what those cries were. These two had some great hearing. The two scientists dashed out towards the beach and when they arrived, the saw something out in the distance that frightened them.
"Oh, my Arceus," Hector mutter in fear.
Out in the ocean were a horde of Lapras being attacked by what appears to be a pirate ship. There were several people shooting at the Lapras and killing them.
Some of those men were starting to reel up the dead Lapras up into the ship knowing how heavy they are, while the others were continuing to fight the Lapras. All of the Lapras were struggling as some of them were shooting them head on blowing their heads off. Lapras have not been trustworthy of humans and these so-called pirates are a good reason why.
"Come on mates, we can mate loads of money with these Lapras body parts!" a man called out.
This man had bushy black hair, a big beard, a yellow shirt, blue shorts, and black shoes. This man happened to be a pirate. This was a pirate attack and that man appeared to be their captain.
"I can't believe it, those poor Lapras are being attacked," Seymour muttered in fear.
"Pirates," a voice called out.
Seymour and Hector heard a voice somewhere. The two looked around and then they see a woman. This woman had long red hair styled in a ponytail and wore glasses. She also had on a black blouse with a blue skirt with a gold bracelet on her right wrist, and black high heels to top off her look.
"People and Pokémon can become like water, they go with the flow and for these pirates, they flow within the water of what could be a poisonous river," the woman said.
The two scientists looked at the woman and now recognized who she was. This was Lorelei of the Kanto Elite Four. Lorelei specializes in ice-type Pokémon and the only person who surpasses her was the Kanto Champion Blue.
"Lorelei, what brings you here to Cinnibar Island?" Hector asked.
"I was taking a nice vacation after some hard work at the Pokémon League with Blue," Lorelei answered, "But for me, I don't have time for vacation when a Pokémon is in danger."
"I don't think those Pokémon are in danger, because they look more like they're being killed," Hector said with a dread of fear in his voice.
As the three watch out, those poor Lapras are being slaughtered by those pirates and being brought up to their ship. Seymour and Hector couldn't bare to watch anymore, and now with an Elite Four member with them, maybe they could work together to take care of those pirates.
"We can't just stand here anymore. We need to help all the Lapras we can," Lorelei said with authority.
"Right, I'll go get the police involved while you two take on those pirates," Seymour told Hector and Lorelei, "It isn't that I'm scared, it's the fact that I don't have any Pokémon."
"Good idea Seymour, you can get the police and we'll save whatever Lapras we can," Hector said taking out a Pokeball, "Come on out Magneton!"
Hector released his Pokémon and coming out was a Pokémon with three grey metal orbs attached to each other with an eye and magnets connected to them.
"Magneton!" Magneton cried out.
"And I'll send out my Lapras," Lorelei said revealing her Pokémon.
The Pokémon she sent out was a Lapras but there was something different. This Lapras wasn't turquoise, but more of a purple. It was an utter surprise to see that the Lapras Lorelei has was actually a shiny Lapras.
"Lapras, we got to help them," Lorelei told her Lapras as she then looked at Hector, "Let's go!"
Lorelei and Hector hopped on Lapras and began charging for the pirate ship. Seymour on the other hand ran for help at the Cinnibar Island police station. Whatever needed to be done to make sure that whatever Lapras can be saved and those pirates get brought to justice.
1 minute later
Hector and Lorelei were out in the ocean aiming to confront the pirates. This pirate ship has so many weapons as some pirates were using cannons while others were using guns and pistols. More and more Lapras were being slaughtered. The herd couldn't bare to fight much longer.
There was one Lapras that was shivering in fear, and it appeared that it looked like a baby, but it was still big and heavy. All she could do was watch her parents and the herd try to fight back, but more blood gets splattered by the attacks of these pirates.
Apparently, the weapons of these pirates were too much for them as well. All of the Lapras fell one by one leaving the water in blood. That scared baby Lapras was all that was left. Her parents were gone, the pirates had a whole lot of machinery to take her out, there was nothing she could do.
"We're too late," Hector muttered as there was only one Lapras left.
"Let's at least save that Lapras, one is better than none," Lorelei said, "Lapras use Ice Beam!"
Lapras fired off an Ice Beam at the ship causing the ship to shake. All of the pirates stumbled and lost their grip on the dead Lapras they were pulling up causing them to fall in the water. The captain took a glance over at who fired off that Ice Beam, and saw it was another Lapras.
"Who in the right minds did that!" the pirate yelled out.
The pirate looked out in the distance and saw Lorelei and Hector riding on the shiny Lapras.
"So, the famous Lorelei of the Elite Four," the captain said looking at Lorelei.
"You are going to pay for what you did to those poor Lapras," Lorelei said shaking with anger, "They just wanted to swim with the water, not get butchered."
"Oh, but miss these Lapras body parts can sell for loads of money and will taste delicious when purchased at the local supermarkets," the captain explained as he took a glance at Lorelei's Lapras, "Speaking of Lapras, I've never seen a Lapras of that color before. It will sure bring in big bucks."
"You wouldn't dare," Lorelei said.
Hector noticed that Lapras that was still shivering in fear looking at the dreadful pirate who just killed her family. She had no one, she was all alone. Hector couldn't help but feel sorry for her. The only thing the Silph Company scientist could do is protect the baby Lapras.
"Don't worry Lapras, we'll save you," Hector told Lapras.
The pirates were prepared to attack once more, but Lorelei made sure to stand their ground. Magneton was prepared to attack as well. The only question was who was going to be attacked first? Was it going to be the Lapras, Lorelei and Hector, or both? They had to be prepared for whatever was coming their way.
"My Lapras attack the ship while your Magneton protects Lapras," Lorelei called out, "Lapras use Brine!"
"Right with you miss Lorelei," Hector responded, "Magneton use Thunderbolt!"
Lapras unleashed a powerful assault of salt water at the pirates trying to knock them off their feet while Magneton unleashed a Thunderbolt to shock all the pirates onboard. However, the machinery seemed to be too much for Lorelei's Lapras and Hector's Magneton to handle. While the two Pokémon have been fending them off, it was a pretty tough ship and a tough group of pirates.
"You fools are only weakening yourselves!" the captain declared.
Lorelei had a concerned look on her face as did Hector. Sure, Lorelei may be a member of the Kanto Elite Four but even her Lapras is struggling against the ship. Hector's Magneton kept firing Thunderbolt to protect Lapras, but even it's starting to lose stamina. The pirates pretty much had them on the ropes of not only killing the last remaining Lapras, but them too.
"This is the end for you all!" the captain announced.
Right after his announcement of preparing to kill Lorelei and Hector, someone came from the sky. It appeared to be two butterflies, but the pirates were too focused on attacking Lorelei, Hector, and the baby Lapras. They were two Butterfrees with one of them being pink. Those two Butterfree knew that what was going on was trouble.
Ash's Butterfree and the pink Butterfree teamed up together to unleash a Stun Spore on the ship. The brown powder sprinkled all over the ship causing the pirates to be completely stunned.
"Where did those Butterfree come from?" Hector asked himself in amazement.
The next thing that the Butterfree did was unleash blue powder which then put all of the pirates to sleep. The captain didn't even see this coming as he too fell asleep. After all of the commotion, the attacks have finally stopped. Lorelei and Hector could take a deep breath now, and then they looked up and smiled. Those two Butterfree came to the rescue.
"I don't know, but they saved all of us," Lorelei said smiling at the two Butterfree, "We'll thank them later, right now we need to make sure all of these pirates are fully subdued."
The two agreed that they shouldn't waste anymore time. Lorelei's Lapras got up to the ship and pulled out another Pokeball.
"Come on out Dewgong," Lorelei called out releasing her Dewgong.
Dewgong looked like a white sea lion with adorable eyes. Dewgong started to use Ice Beam on the pirates to make sure they were frozen in place along with the captain. As Dewgong started to freeze the pirates into submission, the two Butterfree descended towards Lorelei who was freezing the pirates. Lorelei couldn't help but smile at the two.
"Thank you," Lorelei said as she turned to the baby Lapras, "You saved that Lapras."
Lorelei felt deeply ashamed that she couldn't save the whole herd but was happy with herself for saving one Lapras at least. One was better than none. Hector was now wondering since that Lapras lost her family, what will become of her?
Cinnibar Island
Seymour arrived with the Cinnibar Island police as Lorelei and Hector took the now seized pirate ship back to shore.
Police forces were on their way to arrest all of the pirates for illegal poaching of Lapras who turn out are an endangered species, once they were unfrozen. The officers raided the ship to find some disturbing evidence which turned out to be severed Lapras heads, along with other body parts with blood all over them. There were a bunch of shells ripped off the Lapras's skin. It seems like none of these Lapras could be saved.
All of the pirates were looking at possibly twenty years to life behind bars for poaching while the captain himself was looking at the death penalty as he had a long list of heinous crimes he has committed throughout his days.
"It just breaks my heart that Lapras lost her family," Seymour said looking at the baby Lapras.
The Lapras now had no home, she started to become even more spiteful of humans. Then again, two humans came in and saved her and one of them had a Lapras of her own who even fought alongside.
"Lorelei, it is my honor to thank you for your brave actions out there bringing these pirates to justice," the officer said saluting her, "You're a member of the Elite Four and you have truly proven why you got that title."
"Actually, the real heroes were these Butterfree," Lorelei commented looking at Ash's Butterfree and the pink Butterfree hovering beside them, "I actually struggled with these pirates, but these Butterfree appear out of nowhere and begin stunning them and putting them to sleep. I guess the water flow brought them here."
The two Butterfree were the heroes because if it weren't for them, Lorelei and Hector along with the baby Lapras and Lorelei's Lapras would've been killed. Ash's Butterfree and the pink Butterfree were trying to find a new home and apparently, they sensed trouble and decided to take drastic measures. Looks like the training with Ash payed off and it's even rubbed off on the pink Butterfree. These two were going to make amazing parents.
"Hmm, I think it's safe to say that the Butterfree migration must've taken place recently and these two Butterfree were crossing the sea. I guess it was an apparent accident that they met these pirates and decided to pitch in," Seymour explained.
"You really know much about Pokémon I presume," Hector said.
"I've learned a bit from the books Professor Oak has written," Seymour stated.
"Now I think we have another issue we have to deal with," the officer said looking at the Lapras.
They all had to figure out what they were going to do with the baby Lapras. She couldn't fend for herself, and after that traumatizing experience, it's hard to say if she will ever be allowed to be let back in the water by herself. What Lapras needed was a trainer, a good trainer that would take care of Lapras and treat her like a friend or their own child.
Before the police arrived, and while the baby Lapras thanked Butterfree for their heroics, Ash's Butterfree was telling him how he became so strong. It was the help of his now former trainer Ash Ketchum who helped train him not only psychically, but emotionally as well. Butterfree told the Lapras he felt a great connection with Ash and that he loved all of his Pokémon. Lapras was grateful with the story and hoped one day that if she gets a Pokémon trainer, it would be someone like Ash.
"Officer, if you won't mind, I can take Lapras with me," Hector told the officer.
"Are you sure you want to take Lapras with you?" the officer asked, "You could give Lapras to Lorelei."
"Well I'm not going to be Lapras's trainer, but I want to give her a home. You see I work for the Silph Company and we can actually make room for Lapras to stay there. She can't go back in the ocean after what happened," Hector explained, "Besides, Lorelei already has a Lapras."
Lapras was pleased that this man was going to give her a home. He did play a part in saving her life, and even though he didn't want Lapras to be his Pokémon, he definitely had a good heart and was willing to help this endangered Lapras. Hector hopes one day she can find the perfect person to be her trainer.
"Lapras, sorry I said in the terms that I didn't want to be your trainer, but I'm going to take great care of you, and if there is anyone out there you want to travel with, I won't stop you," Hector told Lapras.
Lapras couldn't help but feel grateful for the man. He was not only being honest, but he was also hoping he could find someone that could be the perfect trainer for her. After hearing the story Butterfree told her, Lapras hoped that someone like Ash Ketchum could be her trainer.
Lapras nodded her head yes and then rubbed Hector affectionately.
"It looks like Lapras will be in your hands Hector," Seymour said with a smile.
Hector took out a spare Pokeball and tossed it at Lapras. She was sucked inside and with no competition, the ball dinged. Hector walked up to the Pokeball and picked it up. He was going to take good care of Lapras.
The next day
Hector spent the night at the Pokémon Center while Lorelei stayed at her hotel. Seymour had a place of his own since his work was on Cinnibar Island, so he stayed there. The next day came and the three met at what appeared to be a helicopter pad. Hector was prepared to leave for Saffron City as his meeting with Seymour was done.
"Well Seymour, I wish you the best of luck on the resurrection machine. I look forward to the machine's progress," Hector said.
"Thank you, and I hope to hear about the Master Ball's progress next time we meet," Seymour responded.
"I will my friend," Hector replied.
"You will take good care of Lapras, right?" Lorelei asked.
"Most certainly, the people at the Silph Company along with myself will give Lapras the best treatment she could get," Hector answered with an affirmative smile.
Hector took Lapras to the Pokémon Center to get her patched up, and she was now in perfect condition. However, she will not be able to roam the waters by herself due to the trauma. Nurse Joy praised the fact that Hector was going to be taking her to the Silph Company as her new home.
Of course, there were two other people with them, or should they say Pokémon. The two Butterfree looked at the humans with curiosity, but great gratitude. Nurse Joy treated them as well, even though they didn't sustain any injures. It was just to be safe. There was still one question, where were the Butterfree going to go next?
"So, what about the two Butterfree?" Seymour asked.
All three looked over at the two Butterfree. They came out of nowhere to take down those pirates, but there was still one question looming. Where would they go next?
"You say the two Butterfree were possibly trying to find a place where they can start a family, am I correct?" Lorelei asked.
"Yeah, that was my theory," Seymour answered.
Lorelei looked over at the two Butterfree and smiled. She adjusted her glasses to take a better look at Ash's Butterfree and his mate. The two could tell that this woman felt like good news and that they could trust her.
"Why don't you two Butterfree come with me. Let's the follow the flow of the water and we will eventually be lead to the ideal location where you can grow up with pure happiness," Lorelei told the two Butterfree.
"She is a member of the Kanto Elite Four, not only is she one of the highest-ranking Pokémon trainers in Kanto, but she also has shown a majestic bond with her Pokémon just like the other members of the Elite Four," Hector explained.
Ash's Butterfree couldn't believe what he just heard. In his possibly brief travels with Ash, he has told stories of how he was going to enter the Pokémon League and face the Elite Four and Kanto's Champion. Ash's Butterfree was amazed to hear that he was meeting one of the Elite Four members, hell he even helped her out yesterday.
"You saved my life, the only way I can repay you is to help you both," Lorelei said with a smile.
Ash's Butterfree looked at his mate, and the pink Butterfree nodded yes. They were happy to let this woman help them find a new home.
"That's great to hear," Lorelei happily said.
Seymour and Hector were touched by how Lorelei communicated with the Butterfree. She was offering to find them a suitable place to live. Lorelei may have gotten that rubbed off by Kanto's previous champion Red Ketchum. Blue though was still a great guy, but not anywhere close to the touch Red had with Pokémon.
With that, Hector took off in the helicopter to return to Saffron City while Seymour made his way back to the lab. Lorelei walked over to the shore and released her Lapras. Lorelei's Lapras began to give Lorelei a ride with the two Butterfree following her. Who knows where Lorelei was going to take the two Butterfree, but there was one other question that rang through Butterfree's head, by any chance would he ever have an encounter with Ash again? Hopefully he will be a proud papa if Ash comes across him again.
An undisclosed location in Kanto
Deep in forested area in the Kanto Region, there is a big tree. Within the big tree, there is a grotto that leads into some sort of home for Pokémon.
Within the grotto, there were many Pokémon who were living in here as their home. Pokémon ranged from Oddish, Seel, Nidoran, Pidgey, Rattata, Ponyta, and all sorts of other Pokémon. There was however one Pokémon that stood out among them all as he seemed to be the leader of this group of Pokémon or in this case…their father and guardian.
There was a big blue fat cat like creature with a white belly. In the nature of this Pokémon, they tend to be lazy and eats a lot. This Pokémon was called Snorlax. Not this particular Snorlax. This Snorlax has been watching over all of these Pokémon like his own children. This Snorlax has a tragic experience.
Flashback
1 year ago
There were a group of two Snorlax. One Snorlax was male and the other was female. The female Snorlax was holding what appeared to be an egg. The egg was light blue and had a white round bottom underneath. It appears this egg was going to be their child.
These two Snorlax were venturing the mountains until they came across something. There was a black jeep approaching the two Snorlax. What could a jeep be doing out here in the mountains.
The jeep stopped in front of the two Snorlaxs and coming out were two men dressed in black with red Rs on their uniforms. These Snorlaxs had no clue who these men were or what they're purpose being here was.
"Do you see that Victor, not one, but two Snorlaxs," one of the grunts said.
"Yeah Yasu, Snorlax are not very common around here. These Snorlax would be perfect to sell at our casino in Celadon City," Victor said with an evil smirk.
"You hear that, both of you fatasses are coming with us!" Yasu yelled as he pulled out a Pokeball, "You belong with Team Rocket now!"
The two Snorlaxs were frightened. They were going to be proud parents of their own baby and now these two men want to take them away to make a profit. They were going to do everything in their power to make sure that the egg was safe.
"Oh, an egg, well then we can also sell that off for money as well," Victor said with a menacing voice.
With that, the two rockets sent out a Machoke and a Golbat. The father Snorlax charged at the two rockets with a Rollout while the mother ran off with the egg.
"Machoke use Vital Throw!" Yasu yelled out.
Machoke grabbed Snorlax and began to throw him up. Despite being a heavy Pokémon, this Machoke definitely had lots of strength. Snorlax landed on his back and had an angry look on his face.
"Golbat use Confuse Ray!" Victor commanded.
Golbat unleashed a Confuse Ray which hit Snorlax. Snorlax was struggling from the grips of Golbat's Confuse Ray. How can the Pokémon from two grunts be so powerful?
The mother Snorlax watched from the distance holding the egg. She saw that her mate was suffering from the attacks of those two horrible men. Tears were coming from the mother Snorlax's eyes, she did not want to lose her Snorlax. They were supposed to be a happy family raising their baby together.
Can't being able to hold her emotions in any longer, the mother Snorlax found a small opening to place the egg. She charged on over to help the father Snorlax.
The father Snorlax couldn't see properly as he was confused. The two evil rocket grunts smirked at the condition of the father Snorlax.
"Well Snorlax, it looks like you're coming with us," Yasu told the Snorlax.
The father Snorlax struggled, but then coming in with a Hyper Beam was the mother Snorlax who hit the Golbat that struck her mate with Confuse Ray.
"What the fuck!" Victor screamed.
It was a powerful Hyper Beam and it ended up sending Golbat falling to the ground in defeat. The mother Snorlax then went over to the fallen Golbat and unleashed a full powered Body Slam to the defenseless Pokémon for hurting her mate.
"RUN!" the mother Snorlax yelled to the father Snorlax.
The mother Snorlax knew that he couldn't handle it anymore. She did take out Victor's Golbat, but upon getting back up, the Golbat had crushed bones and blood coming out of his body. Golbat was not moving.
It was then Victor felt something on his belt. He grabbed what happened to be his Pokeball containing Golbat. It began to send out red shocks and blinking rapidly for about five seconds until it indicated the Pokeball is now deactive.
That feature on a Pokeball indicates that the trainer's Pokémon…is dead.
The mother Snorlax just killed Victor's Golbat out of pure rage for hurting her mate and trying to destroy their family. The father Snorlax was able to regain composure and ran off to let the mother Snorlax take on these evil men. All she had now was Machoke.
"You…killed…my Golbat," Victor muttered until he raised his voice, "YOU KILLED MY GOLBAT!"
The two rockets were furious now for killing one of their own Pokémon. With that, Yasu called back his Machoke and put his Pokeball back. The two were now angry.
"We were going to make you a money-making profit off of you, but now you angered us," Yasu told the Snorlax as he and Victor each pulled out a handgun, "Burn in hell you fatass!"
Both Yasu and Victor each shot the Snorlax multiple times, but nothing was happening. It seems that Snorlax was absorbing the bullets that she wasn't being effected by the gunshots. Snorlax tends to have lots of tough fat which is why the bullets weren't piercing through. After firing multiple shots, they ran out of bullets.
Snorlax was prepared to charge forward at the two wicked men after firing all of those shots. As she was getting closer, she was in for an unexpected surprise.
Victor pulled out a knife and stabbed Snorlax in the chest. Though the bullets didn't break through, a sharp knife did. The mother Snorlax cried in pain as she felt the pain of stab she just suffered.
"That's what you get for killing my Golbat," Victor snarled at the Snorlax, "Death."
Victor continued to slice up the Snorlax and start slicing through the guts. The mother Snorlax was dying as blood and shattered organs were coming out of her. Then for one last course of action for safe measures, Victor slit her throat.
The mother Snorlax was dead.
The father Snorlax watched out in the distance. Tears came from his eyes as the Snorlax he loved was taken away. Taken by this vicious group called Team Rocket. He felt weak, he failed to protect her, and he almost failed to protect his baby. Snorlax went to the opening to see where she put the egg. The egg was alright.
Snorlax looked at the egg with sadness and anger. He was upset that he wasn't strong enough to face off against those wicked men, but we wants to do whatever he can to be the best father he could be.
End Flashback
Since that horrible day, the father Snorlax has been living in the grotto in the big tree. He lost the Snorlax he loved, but he vowed to give his new child the best.
During the past year, Snorlax has been looking out for other Pokémon and welcoming them into his home. This grotto has been like a sanctuary for Pokémon. Most of the Pokémon were orphaned or running from bad people. This was the case for the Snorlax who watched over them. This was now his home and it also acted as a refugee to shelter the Pokémon from dangers like Team Rocket. All of the Pokémon treated him like a father, and Snorlax treated them like his own children.
Snorlax would usually sleep and eat a lot, but this Snorlax has chosen to not go with that lifestyle and help give food to those Pokémon, and he only sleeps during the night so he can peacefully enjoy their company. There was some great news in the grotto, the egg was ready to hatch.
"My children, soon you will be given a new brother or sister, but definitely a new friend," Snorlax told all the Pokémon.
While all of these Pokémon acted like Snorlax's children, the father Snorlax was blessed that he was now going to have a child that will actually be his own.
"I promise you my child, I will get you ready for the dangers of the world, especially that horrible group of people called Team Rocket," Snorlax said to the egg.
Snorlax knew that it was time for the egg to hatch. It was glowing and all of the Pokémon were ready to witness their new friend. The egg began to fully glow white and change form. The egg has now become what looks to be a micro Snorlax. This Pokémon was mostly turquoise with big ears on top, a big head, a bulgy body, and stubby feet. All of the Pokémon were amazed by the new Pokémon that appeared in front of them.
"Welcome…my son," Snorlax said to the baby who saw his father's face.
A baby Munchlax was born.
The scientist that caught Lapras and is taking her back to the Silph Company was named Hector. I was trying to use that same scientist from Pokémon Origins that gave Red Lapras, but I gave him a name.
Well Lorelei made an appearance and she has a shiny Lapras, but even her Elite Four powers weren't enough for the pirates. Thankfully Ash's Butterfree and the pink Butterfree came to the rescue, and now Lorelei is going to help them find a new home.
Guess Ash made the right decision after all, one of his Pokémon actually saved an Elite Four member.
Now as for that last scene where you saw a Snorlax and a baby Munchlax, they will be appearing in an upcoming arc, and that Snorlax had a tragic backstory with Team Rocket. I didn't pinpoint where they were, so you won't know until Ash and Serena arrive.
Speaking of Ash and Serena, we will rejoin them on their journey in the next chapter where a not happy reunion will take place.
