Episode 52: The Horse Dungeon, part V

"What?" Ask Jack, surprised.

"Ah, yes." Said Yo-Yo Man, "It's a sweet long time."

Jena calls, "Uh, excuse me!"

Jack got Jena's attention, "Hang on." He takes Jena's hand, and takes her to the bars. "Feel the bars."

"Oh! They're cold." Said Jena, grabbing Joey's face by mistake. "Just like Joey's face." She's surprised, "Oh, sorry!"

And Joey moved away from Jena. "What are you doing here, Regazo?" Ask Jack.

"I was about to ask all of you the same thing." Said Regazo.

"We're on a mission." Jena replied.

"Mission?" Ask Regazo.

"Indeed." Joey replied.

"Don't you realize this is pretty dangerous?" Ask Regazo.

"Yes. Something in here is making my instincts appellate." Said Joey. Joey's arms started to create marks, black marks.

"And, I'm blind as a bat." Said Jena.

"It's not really the dungeon's fault." Said Regazo. "No. What you're sensing is 'static'."

Joey felt his skin crawl like lighting. "What do you mean?" Ask Jena.

"Listen to me, "Regazo explained, warning the team, "My student has gone crazy since I started training with him. That helmet on his head, I don't know what's gotten into him, but he needs to stop! That's why I'm here."

"That's why you ended up in this room?" Ask Jena.

"Yes." Regazo replied.

And Jack said, "But the door is unlock, and you can easily get out."

"Don't think so." Regazo replied, serious, "If I try exiting out, my student will attack me any moment."

"What?" Ask Joey, surprised.

"By the way," Jena asks, "Who's you student?"

And Regazo spoke, "His name is, 'Rick Metalmark'."

"Metalmark?" Ask Joey, muttering to him self. "Where have I heard that name?"

"Rick Metalmark?" Ask Jack, "From the Tetsu clan?"

"Yes, he's the Tetsu clan." Said Regazo.

"I heard Brent told me something about them." Said Jena.

"Do you know about it?" Ask Regazo.

Joey mutters, "I remember. Apparently they have a bloodline to control iron and metal."

And Jena said, "Oh yeah. Brent told me they have natural ability of fortitude with it."

Joey continues, "They have similar ability with the Niji clan that are rivals with Soshi's clan." What are Jena and Joey talking about? Jean does not know that much of the Tetsu clan, and when does Joey think the Tetsu clan is rivals with the Niji clan?

"I know about them." Yo-Yo Man fully tells the group the full story of the Tetsu clan. "They practice a highly defensive style, like they can turn their skin into iron. Ah, but it does hinder their swimming abilities."

"Oh course." Said Joey.

"Fortunate for them, they're able to turning themselves into iron means they no longer need to breath." Said Yo-Yo Man.

"That is one powerful clan." Said Jack, impressed. "I wonder if he is here?"

"Maybe that presences I've been sensing is Rick." Said Joey.

"Same here." Jena agreed.

"Listen, you've got to get out of here." Said Regazo, warning the group. "If you don't, he might attack any moment." Joey thinks. "I would recommend running, amigo, that a way." He points to his right.

"I don't think so." Joey replies.

Lucario looks very suspicious. He's eying on that barrel for several minutes. Lucario starts to concentrate its mind, feeling aura around the surrounding area. "I sense a presences." Everyone looks at Lucario.

"What is it, Lucario?" Ask Jack. Yo-Yo Man tries to sense magic, and Joey starts to grow its fangs. Jena is even sensing aura from the barrel.

"Guys, I sense something behind the barrel." Said Lucario.

Lucario looks through the barrel, and sensed a figure's blue aura behind the barrel. Jena tries to go near something, but Amy can't pull her back. "Jena!"

"What's going on?" Ask Jena.

Lucarioremoves the barrel, and reveals a teen with blue jeans, old brown shoes, tennis shoes, and long yellow hair to cover his left eye. "Agh!" He said, surprised. He gets out of the way by a dodge, "I've been spotted!"

"Hey, it's that master aurora I saw before." Said Jena, surprised. "Except it looks like color poop."

"Rick!" Jack called. "What are you doing here?"

"Rick?" Ask Jena, confused, trying to look.

"Rick?" Ask Joey, confused.

Jack said, "That's Rick!"

Regazo said, "That is Rick!"

Jena asks, "Who's Rick?" She looks at the wrong way. Joey laughs.

"Other way." Said Jack and Yo-Yo Man.

"What?" Ask Jena. She looks at Jack.

"That's me." Said Jack, and she points Jena at Rick. "There you go."

"You try looking straight, I can't see a thing!" She accidentally hits Jack. Pow!

"Ow!" Jack felt his head, and shouts, "You know, you're really not a nice girl, Jena!"

But Jena yells the wrong way and shouts, "You try seeing things, I'm blind as a bat!"

Rick said, "You're here to take me back?"

"Who?" Ask Joey, "Us."

"Yeah, Rick!" Jack replied, "Stop doing this right now! We need to take you home!"

"Jack, is this who I have been sensing?" Ask Joey.

And Jack replies, "That's Rick alright."

Rick cracks his knuckles, "Yeah."

"How can he be consider a human when his aurora is demon?" Ask Jena.

"Because I'm not a demon!" Rick replies, "I'm from the Tetsu clan." Joey growls.

Jena points at Joey, still blind, and said, "I'm speaking of your natural aurora."

"You're here to take me back?" Ask Rick, and then spoke, "Not ganna happen!" He concentrates his energy on to his right, and strikes the ground. "DONYA!"

Everyone avoided Rick's attack, but both Jack and Jenafell to the ground.

"Agh!" Jack called, surprised.

"Whoa!" Jena called, surprised.

"HRR! I knew it." Said Joey, "So, you have powerful strength."

"Yeah, we're not safe to him!" Jack called.

"Please not push it." Said Jena.

"The door." Jack looks at the door, and calls, "Everyone! To the door! Get up, Jena!" Jack gets up, but Jena couldn't. He calls his teacher, "Sensei! Get her out!"

Yo-Yo Man tries to grab Jena, and grab hold of her. "What?" Everyone makes a run for it.

"Get her to the door!" Jack called. "Run! Go! Go!" Jack uses his powers to push Rick to a wall.

"Hurry!" Amy called, keeping the door open. "God! Men these days!" Everyone got through the door, Jack dashed through the door as Amy goes into the next room. Everyone is in the next room, leaving Rick with one room.

"Hey!" Rick called, "You're not getting away from me!" He storms to the door.

"Agh!" Jena shouts, hugging someone. But she has no idea her eyes are closed, and opens her eyes. "Wait, freaky ears."

"Uh, Jena." Joey said, nervous, "You're hugging me."

"Oh!" Jena said, surprised, "I thought you were Amy."

"Phew. That was close." Said Jack.

"That strength," Joey said, impressed, "It's been a long time."

Jackenters through, shuts the door, and locks the door. "Phew. At least he's out of our problems."

"Uh, Jack." Jena said.

"I think you've just jinxed it." Said Yo-Yo Man.

Jack rolled his eyes to the door with a sweat-drop, and said nervous, "Oh dear. Did I?"

"Yep." Joey replied.

BOOM! Jack jumped by surprised, and backs away from the door. "AGH!"

"Jack, move that door already!" Jena shouts.

"Let me in!" Rick shouted, banging on the iron door.

"Whoa!" Said Joey, surprised.

"Sheesh! He's such a stubborn guy." Said Jack.

"And I thought my mom was stubborn." Joey muttered.

Yo-Yo Man is about to charge up his light aura. "Sensei! He's a student! Don't kill him!" Jack calls.

"Don't worry." Said Yo-Yo Man.

"Sensei, stay back." Said Joey, "I'll handle it."

"Cousin, if you do, you might kill him!" Jack called. Jena pulls Jack.

"Get over here." Said Jena, "What are you, nuts?"

Joey explains, "Jack, this guy has incredible strength. Someone of equal strength should match him."

"Sensei, you gatta make time!" Said Jack.

"Pikachu, get over here right now." Jena demanded.

"I'm coming." Said Pikachu, coming to Jack, annoyed. And Pikachu thought, "Bossy cow!"

"He'll break soon." Said Yo-Yo Man.

Joey gets into his stance, and said, "Let's begin."

"Alright, so how are going to deal with him?" Ask Kyle.

"Jack, I'm sorry, but I'm going with my father." Said Jena, worried, "He may be soon, but he's still a monster."

And Joey said, prepared, "I'll take him. Only a monster will take a monster."

BOOM! "Let me in, now!" Rick continues to punch the door until it breaks.

"There is a dark, and there is a light." Said Yo-Yo Man, "I represent both, I must aid in this fight."

"Very well." Said Joey, "Sensei, you and me."

"Oh Zucion." Said Jack, prepared, "Oh Zucion. At least get our Pokémon out first." Yo-Yo Man, Jena, Amy, and Kyle throw their Poké balls in the air, and summon four more Pokémon in battle.

"Treagle!" Yo-Yo Man called. Yo-Yo Man summoned a large green bird with leafy feathers.

"It is good to see you again, Treagle." Said Lucario.

"Glaceon." Said Jena. Next, Jena brung out a small light blue ice Pokémon from Eevee's evolved form.

"Flareon." Said Amy. Amy summoned a small red fur Pokémon from Eevee's evolved form.

"I summon you, Ariados." Said Kyle. And lastly, Kyle summoned a small purple skin like spider with yellow legs.

"Lucario, be by my side." Said Joey.

"Yes, master." Said Lucario. Lucario stays with Joey, just as Pikachu stays with Jack.

"You ganna cower too, Amy?" Ask Kyle.

Amy is annoyed; she sticks her claws at Kyle and said, "Watch it!"

But Kyle responds, "Your emotions don't scare me so much, so shut up."

"Bite me, fang boy!" Jena shouted.

"That could be arranged." Kyle thought, smirking at Jena's neck. He leaves the battle, waiting with his Ariados.

Amy becomes a bit concern to Jena and said, "Jena, I don't think you should say that to a vampire." Jena then becomes a bit frighten of Rick's strength. "Uh, Jena, are you okay?" She said to the team, "She's hyper ventilating." It looks Jena is a bit dizzy.

Lucario becomes excited. "Master."

"I know, Lucario." Said Joey, "It's been a long time since we face so many skills equal with our own."

"Jena." Said Amy, more concerned. "Are you okay?"

"I don't know." Jena replies, and then she faints to the ground.

"Agh! Come on!" Jack called, looking at Jena.

"Treagle, get her back." Said Yo-Yo Man. And Treagle carries Jena to where Kyle is waiting. He looks at Amy and said, "Amy, you'll need to take her place."

"Wait, what?" Ask Amy, surprised. "Okay, come on, Flareon." Her Flareon follows Amy.

Rick shouts, "I swear if all of you not ganna let me in, I'll have to get more angrier!"

Rick shakes the knob. "Um, I'm worried about Jena, guys." Said Amy.

"Treagle is taking care of her." Said Yo-Yo Man.

"Glace!" Glaceon goes to Yo-Yo Man, and helps him.

Rick then burst a hole through the center of the door. Everyone is surprised. "I swear all of you are ganna pay for that!"

"Come and get some, Metal heart!" Said Joey. Metal heart? Okay.

"You ask for it!" Said Rick, continuing to pound the door down.

"Joey, could you please stop pushing in?" Ask Amy.

"Shut up, Neko." Said Joey, prepared, "This doesn't concern you!"

"I'm worried about Jena." Said Amy. "She may be suffering from aurora poisoning."

"Treagle is shielding her." Said Yo-Yo Man.

And then, with one final punch, the door falls down to the floor. "You think you're the only one who can do that?" Ask Joey, talking tough.

Rick comes into the room with three Poké balls, holding on his hand, and said, "It's show time." He throws the Poké balls in the air, and summoned out three Pokémon. "Summoning!"

One Pokémon that is very huge, made of tough steel, but like a snake appeared. "Steelix!"

"Meh?" Ask Amy, surprised.

Next, the second Pokémon looks like a medium metal bird. "Skarm!"

"What?" Joey is surprised.

And lastly is a big lizard with hard armor place on its back, and a plate on its head that has a horn. "Aggron!"

"What?" Joey said, surprised, "An Aggron, a Steelix, and a Skarmory!"

"They are steel types, just like me." Said Lucario, prepared.

"Holy Zucion, you've got to be kidding me!" Jack called, surprised.

"Glace?" Ask Glaceon, confused. But Glaceon isn't aware that ice types do not stand a chance against steel types.

Yo-Yo Man starts. "Go for it, sensei." Said Joey. Yo-Yo Man activates his void of the shadow, making his body glow. Next, he uses Shadow Noose, creating a white mystical string, tosses the string at Skarmory's neck, and tries to choke Skarmory.

"Skarm!" Skarmory struggles from the white string. Skarmory is trying to break from the white string. "Skarm! Skarm!" Yo-Yo Man yanks Skarmory to the ground, "Skarm!" And Skarmory is pulled to the ground.

"Hey! No fair!" Rick shouts, pointing at Yo-Yo Man, "That mask man is cheating!"

"Get used to it." Joey growled. Rick becomes mad.

Glaceon creates a wind of ice at the Skarmory, however Skarmory takes normal damage. It may be a flying type, but it's a steel type.

Next, Amy aims her Crossbow at Skarmory, and shoots. The arrow is launched, but then the arrow clangs off Skarmory's metal skin. "Skarm! Skarm!" Skarmory targets Yo-Yo Man. Flareon inhale its breath, and blows a fire spin around Skarmory. But it's not enough firepower, and Skarmory blows the fire away. Skarmory is still struggling from the Shadow Noose.

Jack would like to attack, but Jack has a better idea. "Pikachu?"

"Hmph!" Pikachu nods. Pikachu charges up electricity.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Jack commands.

"KACHU!" Pikachu then zaps Skarmory by a static attack. Steel types don't defend against lightning attacks, but almost down.

"Nice. Well done, Pikachu." Said Joey, impressed.

"Ka-Chu." Pikachu agreed.

Jack thinks, "I can't attack them with my Rasengan. So maybe, I could try and attack them with my flame sword." Jack pulls out his electricity guitar, and plays music. "Just keep fighting. I'll play some music for you guys!"

"You've got to be kidding me?" Ask Kyle, "I have to go?"

"Either you don't, you're ganna regret it later." Said Amy.

"What a drag." Said Kyle, annoyed, "Alright, I'll see what can I do about it. If I know what I'm doing." He starts to think, "Metal, metal." He spoke, "I got it." He looks at Joey, "Aren't steel types afraid of ground type moves?"

"Yes." Joey replies. Kyle stares at Joey, "Huh? Me? What do you want me to do?" And then Kyle stares at Lucario.

"Hmm?" Lucario asks, surprised. But then Lucario figures it out. "Of course!"

"The perfect attack." Said Kyle.

"Earth shatter." Said Joey.

Kyle has a plan, "Okay, I think I got it. First off," He looks at Jack, "Jack, try using that fire slash of yours."

"Hmm?" Ask Jack, stopped playing his music.

"I want you to break his armor off." Said Kyle.

"What?" Ask Jack.

"Jack, just do it." Said Joey, "He has a plan."

"If you don't, I'm going to crush that sitting curse." Said Amy.

And then Jack is pulled to the ground hard. "Ouch! I swear to you Amy, if you keep this up, then you and I are not friends!" He gets up, "Okay, here I go." He turns his sword into a powerful Flametongue, "Flame Flashing Sword!" He charges at Rick, "YAGH! Take this Rick! Flashing Sword of Blades!" Jacklaunches a Flashing Sunand Rick takes a big hit from the Flashing Sun.

"AAAAAAGGGGGGHHH!!!" Rick shouted, covering his body. "FIRE!" The Pokémon stops attacking, but concern at their owner.

"Huh? What the?" Ask Jack, confused.

"Fire?" Ask Joey, and then said, "Fire! That's it!"

Jack is confused at Rick. "What's gotten into him?"

"Stop it!" Rick cried, "Stop it! Please, anything but that! Anything but the fire!"

Amy points at Jack, and Jack asks, "Um, is he going to be okay?"

"Don't you get it, you airhead?" Amy shouts, "Fire is his weakness, god! And I thought Jena was the airhead."

"Whatever I just did to him stopped him." Said Jack.

"What just happened?" Ask Jack.

"So…much…flames." Rick said covering himself. "So…much…pain."

"He's afraid of fire." Said Joey, figuring it out.

"Excuse me, is he okay?" Ask Amy.

Jack responds, "I think he'll be."

"Um, mister, are you alright?" Ask Amy, asking Rick. But Rick didn't respond. She yells at Jack, "Jack, you scared him!"

"What did I do, you guys told me to attack him?" Jack shouted.

"Yeah. We didn't say about mentally scaring him!" Amy replied.

"It's fire." Said Joey.

"Okay, then what am I supposed to do?" Ask Jack.

"Uh. Don't you get it?" Ask Amy, "Fire is his weakness."

"Well, I didn't know, okay?" Said Jack.

Amy then forced Jack to go do something, "Ugh! Go watch…go watch over Jena, now!"

"And what if I…" Said Jack, but Amy pushes Jack, "Hey!"

"Go!" Amy demanded.

"Alright, Sheesh!" Said Jack, leaving.

"If you don't, I'm sticking this arrow through you butt!"

"Alright, but if you get killed by Rick, don't blame on me!" Jack said, "Come on, Pikachu." Jack and Pikachu, leave to go watch Jena.

"Hmph." Said Pikachu.

Jack talks to Treagle, "Treagle, we'll take over." Treagle goes to the battle just as Glaceon returns to Jena. And he gives these final words to Amy, "You are one crazed up bloody white Neko!"

Amy becomes annoyed and shouts, "SIT!" And then Jack becomes pulled to the ground hard.

"OUCH!" Jack shouts in pain.

Jena wakes up and saw Pikachu, "Oh, hi Pikachu. What's going on?" Pikachu points at Jack on the ground. Jena shouts, "Amy!"

"Don't." Said Jack, in pain.

"Not my fault." Said Amy, "Joey, watch him."

Rick shakes off the flames, and gets back in battle. "Okay, no more mercy."

"You called us 'no more mercy'?" Ask Amy.

And Rick said, showing his fist at Amy, "I'm ganna make you wish you were never born, you bloody dang princess."

"Not working." Said Amy.

"Rick, I've had enough of this!" Joey announced. "Lucario!"

"Let's do this!" Said Lucario.

"Everyone, you may want to move back." Said Joey, "Because I'm about to perform an earth shattering blow." Everyone stands away but Amy. Joey goes up, pulling his fist back, and then pounds the ground hard.

Aggron, Rick, and Lucario feel the ground shaking, but Skarmory is immune because it is a flying type. Rick jumps up high, but Aggron falls to the ground, ad Lucario falls to the ground.

"Whoa!" Said Lucario, surprised.

"AGG!" Aggron shouted.

Lucario gets up, jumps up high, and stomps the ground. "HAGH!"

The Earthquake caught Amy, Flareon, Rick, Aggron, and Steelix, but Skarmory and Yo-Yo Man couldn't be affected because Skarmory is flying, and Yo-Yo Man can float.

Rick avoids, Steelix dodges in quick speed, and Aggron tries again and manages to avoid the attack on time. Lucario's attack missed Rick and his Pokémon. Amy avoids the attack on time, but Flareon didn't dodge the attack, and goes down.

Since Flareon is knocked out, Amy blacks out.

Jena comes in and supports Yo-Yo Man. Jena gives Yo-Yo Man a special item, Sprint Boots. Yo-Yo Man quickly puts the boots on, and feels faster. Jena leaves. Rick has his Pokémon shield him, and starts to call someone out somewhere.
