(Did you really think I'd make you read that? Please. This is really hard to do! And tediously slow...)

Here's the real chapter! ^_^

Oh, and to the Guest sharpedofile, Meowth was captured by May in Chapter 29 after almost slicing Misty to pieces, which is why you didn't see him.

"The volcano's erupting! What do we do?" May shouted. It was hard to hear everyone over the noise.

"We're separated from the other twerps! How do we get back together with them?" Jessie asked. Ash shook his head.

"We don't right now. We have to worry about getting off the island, and quickly!" he yelled, and somehow, the others could hear him across the gap.

On the other side, Silver silently agreed.

"Ash is right. Let's get as far away from here as possible first. Look for any means of transportation that you can find, but don't get separated and watch out for debris!" he said, and his small group nodded.

The ground started to shake again, and Misty stumbled as she tried to keep up with her friends. The small earthquake before the volcano erupted had separated them, and the two groups were forced to go and look for an escape, even if it meant leaving the other group behind. Right now, the only thing on everyone's minds was flee.

James called out to them over the noise and pointed to a rowboat. It wasn't very big, but could fit the four of them inside.

Silver and Gary jumped in with James, and Misty was almost there. She saw their urgent faces change to horror.

What's wrong?

Then she felt a hand grab her arm and pull her back.

Team Rocket.

Then she realized that she was caught. The boat was pushed away by the ocean, with her friends in it.

Ash tried to lead everyone as far away from the volcano as possible, but it was nearly impossible because they were at the foot of the mountain. Not to mention the ash that was everywhere. He began to cough. Pikachu scurried over and jumped onto his shoulder to keep from getting lost in the havoc.

"Cover your mouths!" he managed to say, before he started to cough again. He pulled up the sleeve of the ratty black sweater (which he had gotten so used to that he didn't realize he was wearing) and used it to block some of the ash from getting into his lungs. The others had short sleeves, so they had to use their hands instead. Pikachu twisted his tail to block the cinders.

Ash looked at some of the rubble, his eyes wandering around the disaster scene.

What looked like a radio tower of sorts (probably the laboratory's) had fallen over in the quake, and combined with the debris from the mountain, blocked part of the rift in the ground and connected their side to the other side.

It sorta looks like a bridge across the gap... bridge... BRIDGE!

"This way!" he shouted out, and tried to find a way to the top of their new bridge. When the broken tower had crashed, it had ended up leaning precariously on the side of the volcano. It was also high up, and slanted downwards, so crossing it would be dangerous. One little slip and you'd be lost to the fissure.

He turned left, towards the volcano, and began to climb up the side of the rocky mountain. The others were watching with slight curiosity, until Pikachu called out to them and they began following Ash. Brock was pretty good, and didn't have any trouble, and Jessie seemed at ease as well, but May seemed to struggle as she carefully made he way up.

Some of the mountain's side seemed to crumble a little as Ash placed his weight on it, but he wasn't going to give up so easily. Their destination was almost in their reach, if only he could climb a little higher, he'd be there. He extended his arm a little and felt the cool metal bar in his grip. Ash tugged on it a little, satisfied of it's sturdiness, and pulled himself up a little using it. The bars crisscrossed along the side of the tower, giving him footholds and making it easy to climb up the side, almost like he was scrambling up the equipment on a jungle gym or crawling along a Ryhorn's back.

Brock followed him without any trouble, and Jessie and May didn't have any problems either. The four of them on top caused the tower's position to creak a bit, groaning with the extra weight.

"We'd better hurry." Brock said, and the group began to tiptoe across the makeshift bridge, trying their hardest not to step somewhere wrongly and cause it to all come crashing down. It was a risky game, but their best chance of survival.

Ash was in front again, and Pikachu was ahead of him, the small mouse being able to find weaker spots that shifted and warning the others so they'd avoid them. They slowly started to go at a decline, and the anxiety increased with every movement.

Jessie gave a sharp squeal as her foot slipped and urgently waved her arms to keep her balance. Brock, who was behind her and the last one in line, was ready to catch the former Rocket, but luckily, she stayed on the tower, and they all became more cautious. After all, this was probably one of the most dangerous things any of them had ever done. Ash suggested a pause to catch their breath.

If only they knew how worse it would all become.

She knew she wasn't stronger than her captor, but that didn't register in her mind. The only thing she could think about was that she was going to be lost to this island's dangers if she didn't break free from the Rocket quickly.

The Rocket that grabbed her struggled to keep the red haired girl from escaping his grasp, and tugged her roughly away from the waters, which her friends had managed to use to their advantage, quickly getting away in a small boat, most likely a fisherman's that was forgotten when he left the island after Team Rocket took it over.

Stranger still, the water was rushing at the island almost as viciously as the volcano was trying to cover it. White foam was in the air, and the waves crashed against each other like Pokèmon in battle, trying to get the advantage over each other. It was frightening to witness.

These aren't natural waves...

Almost like it was waiting for someone to think that, a massive figure emerged from the icy waters, and gave a roar that was louder than the volcano's initial eruption. The creature swung it's tail, and the sea came up to drown them all.

The Rocket let go of the girl and ran, and she quickly surpassed him with her agility as the ocean took out anything it could reach, catching the poor Rocket that had caught her a minute ago and just barely missing her by a hair. The screams as others were swallowed up were suddenly gone, lost in the tide.

"We're all trapped!" Misty shouted, trying to yell for some reason in her panicked state to the Rockets that continued to run to shore as they tried to escape. She pushed past them, trying to find a different escape, when she noticed four people climbing across the fallen radio tower.

Is that... Ash, Brock, Jessie and May?

Lugia gave a screech of anger as the Rockets were destroyed. They had upset the balance between humans and Pokèmon by taking Mew, and it was finally going to put things right.

Three birds emerged from behind it, each bringing their own plans of revenge with them. A blizzard was whipped up suddenly, and another two dozen people were frozen solid, never to wake up again. Flames were thrown at houses along the island, burning them to flames with anyone inside. The storm Lugia brought became much stronger, bringing crackling booms of thunder and lightning. Bolts struck down, and the carnage continued to grow.

But from the disaster, three more Legendary beings emerged. A torrent of water melted away to reveal a light blue dog on the sandy beaches, and from the flames emerged a large brown dog who leaped over in two bounds next to the blue Legendary. Another lightning bolt struck, bringing with it a yellow dog that seemed to radiate electrical energy, who joined the others, forming a trio.

The three stood their ground, glaring at the birds above them.

Articuno cried out at the sight of them, furious.

Moltres seemed to flare up as the flames on it's body grew bigger and stronger.

Zapdos gave a piercing cry and crackled with power.

Lugia gave another roar and swung it's wings, creating another wave that pummelled the people on the shore.

Time suddenly seemed to freeze; no one moved, no one said a word. It was like the world was on pause.

Then, like a ripple in the peace, a wail could be heard across the island, coming from the one and only Mew.

All seven legendary Pokèmon gave a shudder of pain as the Pokèrus transmitted from Mew so long ago began to fight much harder in their minds.

With an unearthly screech, the four bird's defences broke, and their eyes changed into a malicious ruby red, shining with their true unleashed power.

And the Legendary beasts realized that their simple mission was about to get a lot bigger.

Arceus, what did I write?

This felt... AMAZING!

The whole thing just gave me a rush of excitement, and it was great! I feel awesome!

And Kit is going to be so mad about this cliffhanger again...

For those of you who didn't take the time to decipher my author note at the beginning of the chapter, I rewrote it properly for you lazy beings.

Hello there random people! It's me, Typhlosion8!

Today I'm writing backwards! Why? Because I can! Have fun reading Chapter 36!

*evilly grins*

Goodbye for now,

Ty8
