Crow: It's gonna be quiet around here without Gantz and the rest of them.
Servo: Crow, we live practically next door to each other.
Crow: We do?
Servo: They live just down the hall from here, moron!
Mallow: Enough! Don't make me zap you with a Thunderbolt spell!
Zane: Thanks Mallow. Anyway, not that things are FINALLY back to normal around here...
Crow: Or as close to normal things get on this site.
Zane: (ignores Crow's comment) It's time for our new chapter.
Me: Yeah. In this chapter, Giovanii tries to battle Jessie and James. Also, Larry Erhardt tries to stop Crow, Cambot, and Servo from escaping with an invention of his that old time MST3K fans'll recognize. This also has refrences to Gantz's latest deleted scene story, which will be the final one for PokeMario as the story will be ending finally before too long. The end of this chapter will kick off the final rush before the final fight. Time to begin the show!
Chapter 44: Final Blast Off
Jessie and James were batteling for their lives at the moment against their former boss, Giovanii. Giovanii was down to three pokemon, as Jessy and James suprised him by commanding the hostage pokemon, who were more than happy to battle this madman. Giovanii's first three pokemon, Nidoking, Rhydon, and Golem fell to the unexpected willpower of the pokemon he had imprisoned. Giovanii had only those three pokemon with him at that moment, thinking they would stop Jessy and James from escaping with the pokemon. His only option left was his beloved Persian.
When the classy cat pokemon appeared before the group, Meowth said to Jessy and James, "Leave this to me! I've been wantin' to kick this fleabag's behind for a long time now, and here's my chance!" The Persian then said to Meowth, "I'd like to see you try. You're nothing but a pathetic weakling, which is why the boss replaced you with me all those years ago. Of course he hoped you'd strengthen up by now, but not only have you remained weak, you betrayed the boss's trust."
Meowth then said, "Listen to yourself! Have you no respect for your fellow pokemon!?" Persian then said, "Respect is for the weak, unless the respect is for Team Rocket!" Meowth then said, "Oh yeah!? I'll 'respect' you!" Meowth slashed Persian right in the face. Persian retaliated by using Fury Swipes, leaving Meowth in bad shape. Meowth then used his own Fury Swipes, and was able to weaken Persian a little bit. While Persian was stunned by Meowth's assault, Meowth suprised everyone by using Thunder Bolt.
Jessie then asked, "When did you learn THAT!?" Meowth then said, "B.K. was kind enough to teach it to me! I knew it'd come in handy so I kept it a secret 'till now." Persian then growled at Meowth, and said, "Lucky shot... Next time, you wont be so lucky!" Persian lunged at Meowth, but Meowth jumped, and slamed his tail down to use Iron Tail, thus defeating Persian.
Meowth then began a small monolouge as he began saying, "I have at last proved my dominance over my arch nemises! No longer will I be tormented by thoughts of inferriority to my own evolved form! It matters not the strength of your evolutionary state, but rather the strength of your heart and willpower!!!!!"
Giovanii, now without any pokemon to protect him, decided to make a run for it. He didn't make it very far as Dustox blasted him with a String Shot attack, and bound him in place to prevent his escape. Jessie complimented Dustox for the quick capture, and then turned to her former boss and said, "Well Giovanii, it looks like Team Rocket has blasted off for the final time!" Giovanii could do nothing. His plans for world domination were shattered.
-----------------------
Outside during the brawl outside, the Rockets were suprised by the fighting skill shown by the heroes. They were further startled when the bird pokemon that brought them here began attacking relentlessly, and were terrified when Raikou, Entei, Suicune, and HO-OH charged out of the forest.
Raikou destroyed many of the Rocket's mechs with his electrical attacks, and Entei melted the Rocket's firearms with his flames. Suicune whiped up a strong wind to disorient the Rockets while the heroes restrained them so they could be arrested by the cops later. The DR Pokemon were being killed by HO-OH's Sacred Fire left and right, and were eventually revitalized to their original state. The pokemon were so grateful, some stayed behind to help fight the Rockets.
Finally, all of the DR pokemon were cured of the evil within them, and now it was time for the heroes to wait and see if the robots get back with the others safely.
----------------------
After about five minutes, the sound of the metal table strapped to Clay's back hitting the floor got on Zane's nerves and he finally freed Clay from his restraints. Clay then said, "Took you long enough!" Zane then said, "Don't start whining, we got a job to do!" Clay, Zane, Servo, Crow, Ash, and Cambot kept running down the hallways as they searched for the room where the pokemon were held. They finally found the room, and saw Jessie and James were there with triumphant looks on their faces. They also saw Giovanii encased in what seemed to be a spider's silk.
Crow then asked, "Anyone care to explain?" Jessie then said, "Well, we were able to escape. As to how, you wouldn't believe us even if we told you, even if we shown you the evidance... Our former boss confronted us when we freed the pokemon, and we had to battle him to escape to find you guys. Since the robots are here, I guess the others are too?"
Ash, who was being glomped by his pokemon, said, "Yeah, they're outside dealing with the remaining Rockets as well as the other DR pokemon." After they all caled their pokemon back, they made a run for the exit where they ran into Larry again. Larry said, "Ok you juvinile delinquints and mechanical menaces! Give up before I get mad!" Jessy then said, "Who's this idiot!?" Clay then said, "Just a psychopath with Delusions of Granduer."
Larry then said, "You're the deluded ones if you think you can escape me!" Larry then began laughing maniacally as he pulled out a remote control and pressed the button on it to summon a large ten foot tall lizard robot that could spit flames. Crow then said, "Hey, that's one of the inventions Larry and Dr. Forrester made, the Acetylene-Powered Thunder Lizard! Only it's a hundred times bigger."
Larry then said, "That's right, and this baby is armed with many more weapons than the failed children's toy version! Prepare to be annhialated!" Larry was about to attack with the robot when he heard a siren going off from his lab. When he did, he panicked as he said, "MY GALACTIC BOMB PLANS!!!!" He rushed off, forgetting about the Thunder Lizard, and left the heroes behind. Not one to turn down an easy escape, Crow yelled, "Quick, let's get out while we have the chance!"
After grabing the bundle of silk containing Giovanii, they all rushed out of the base, and saw that their friends mopped up all that was left of all the enemies. After tossing Giovanii to the ground, Vivian rushed Clay and tackled him to the ground, saying, "I thought I'd never see you again!"
Clay wanted to say something, but decided not to. He figured all he'd do is make Vivian angry or even more sad. When Zane noticed Lucario, he said, "What the- Riolu, is that you!? If so, I guess you evolved then?" Lucario then said, "Yes, it's me. But now I'm Lucario." Zane did a double-take, and shouted, "LUCARIO!?!" Brock then said, "Not only that, this Lucario is the reincarnation of the one that assisted Sir Aaron so long ago, and can read the aura of all living things as a result. In fact, he even told us he figured out the trick that DR Ditto tried to pull on us some time ago."
Zane then said, "If that's so, why didn't he tell us?" Lucario then said, "I feared you wouldn't believe me. I wanted to be sure before I did anything rash." At that moment, Luigi said, "This is all well and good, but aren't we forgetting something? Where's that jerk Branz, and where's the loon he's forking for who actually lead's the Dentes Rhohos?"
At that moment, there was a huge earthquake and everyone fell to the ground the moment it happened. Suddenly, something huge erupted from the ground. The captured Rockets were in just as much shock as the heroes, thus suggesting they had no idea about what this thing was. After the object came out of the ground, it rose into the ir. Once all the dirt and debris fell off the object, it revieled itself to be a massive floating warship.
The ship's apperance was daunting to say the least. It's size made it look to be around three times the size of Bowser's Doomship, and it was made completely of solid steel. It had a purple paintjob, and the rear of the ship sported an emblem Clay thought he'd never see again. The emblem in question was of a pig's face, which sported a nose ring, yellow eyes, and what seemed to be two spikes sticking out from the pig's head.
Clay shouted, "WHA!? That ship belongs to Wizpig!" Goombario then said, "Say what?! Run that by me again!" Clay then said, "That ship has an emblem that has Wizpig's ugly mug on it! Remember the ugly hog from Tiger Track Island?" Luigi then said, "I-I-I-I think the fact this thing was owned by Wizpig is the LEAST of our problems!"
Luigi pointed out a second emblem, and the emblem was of that of two purple-colored letters set on a yellow circle with a green line bordering the yellow circle. The letters were the letters "T" and "S". Clay then said, "No way, this ship is also owned by that weirdo, Tatanga!? I thought Mario got rid of that guy after saving Daisy from him!" Their thoughts were interupted when they heard Branz say over a loudspeaker, "You may have stopped us from completeing our plans, but we can still pick up from where we left off! Catch me if you can, hahahahaha!!!!!!"
to be continued...
Me: I know everyone who has kept up with Gantz's oneshots up until now have figured that this ship would would be the final battle ground for PokeMario. However, there are still a few remaining DR pokemon left other than Branz himself. These are the ones ho willingly joined the demoic cult in search of more power. Gantz's story describing the Dentes Rhohos initiation ritual, as well as the story where Haze first appeared will tell you who to look out for. So far, two of the lyoal DR pokemon have been captured: Froslass and Manectric. The remaining ones will soon follow.
Zane: Well, saving those remainig DR pokemon for last sounds like a good idea.
Servo: Especially since the remaining ones happen to be very strong.
Crow: Ah, the Acetylene-Powered Thunder Lizard. Dr. F and Larry made that thing originally with the intent to sell to toy companies so kids could have a violent and very unsafe toy to hurt themselves with. It even breathed fire like this bigger version used here.
Mallow: Wow, they certainly lived up to their reputations as mad scientists, didn't they?
Me: You don't know the half of it. Other things Dr. F made included Unhappy Meals, Designer Bio-hazard Absorbent Throw Pillows, an overpriced action figure called Johnny Longtorso, and finally the morbid Chocolate Bunny Guillotine.
Zane and Mallow: CHOCOLATE BUNNY GUILLOTINE!!?!!!?!??!
Crow: (sniffs) Poor little bunnies... The only crime they committed was being born delicious! (cries uncontrollably)
Servo: (also starts crying)
Me: Oh great, I sent them on a trip down repressed memory lane!
Mallow: Ok, calm down guys, that was a long time ago!
Zane: Yeah, no more chocolate bunnies are losing their heads, please calm down.
Servo: It doesn't make the hurt go away...
Me: Ok, I'd better fix this problem. R&R!
