Chapter 10: Party Crashers!

Another set of missiles headed toward our heroes. Everybody dodged them just in time and they hit the ground behind them. The one that fired the missiles was the Technorover that was being driven by General Traag and Lt. Granitor. "All right, you Neutrinos, come out fighting!" said Traag. At that moment, the TMNS and Splinter appeared, armed with their weapons. "Who are they?" asked Donatello. "Stone warriors from Dimension X! They're bad," said Dask. "Yeah, I guessed that," said Raphael. Everybody's Pokémon stood in battle poses.

At that moment, Ivan and Anton exited out of the Technorover armed with some guns. "Looks like the Shredder got some new mutant goons to replace Tokka and Rahzar," said Leonardo. "You got any weapons on those hot rods?" asked Raphael. "Of course. They're required by law!" said Dask. "We said we wouldn't let anyone hurt you, and we mean it. Come on," said Leonardo. Leonardo turned to the others. "We'll handle these two. The rest of you try to drive away the stone warriors," said Leonardo. "Right," said the other heroes.

"Say your prayers, Squirtles," said Ivan. The two began to open fire at the TMNS. Leonardo and Michelangelo grabbed some thick steel serving plates to protect themselves from the bullets. "Come on, let's annihilate those turkeys!" said Michelangelo. Leonardo and Michelangelo threw the platters at Ivan and Anton. But the two mutants dodged them by jumping. But Donatello and Raphael kicked the two, knocking them down. "Didn't I see you in 'The Jungle book'?" asked Raphael.

General Traag and Granitor opened fire at the others with their laser guns. Mewtwo and Mikala deflected the lasers with their psychic powers. April, Casey Jones, Merissa and Ninetales got into the Battle Shell. "Gun it, April!" cried Casey. April then began to drive the Battle Shell. The Neutrinos got onto their flying cars. "Ah, look at them run," said Traag. The Technorover began to chase after the vehicles. Luckily, the drivers were leading the stone warriors away from Professor Oak's lab. Suddenly, the Battle Shell turned around to face the Technorover. "Activate confirmed kill cannon," said Traag as the Technorover charged at the vehicles. "Ready, aim . . . ," said Traag. The Neutrinos' flying cars began to fire lasers at the Technorover. The Battle Shell's roof turret came out, with Casey controlling it. "Eat hot lead, turkeys!" said Casey. He began to fire the turrets at the Technorover. The lasers hit the Technorover.

Ivan and Anton got back up and resumed firing at the TMNS. The two dodged the incoming bullets using their speed. Leonardo jumped at Anton and sliced off the barrel of his gun with his katana. Michelangelo then kicked Anton, knocking him down again. Ivan noticed his partner getting knocked down. With him temporarily distracted, Raphael jabbed one of his sais into the nozzle of Ivan' gun. "Vhat the?!" asked Ivan. This caused his gun to explode in his face.

Anton and Ivan got back up. Splinter noticed Ash had a look on his face. "What's the matter, Ash?" asked Splinter. "I don't know. But there's something about those two mutants that seem familiar," said Ash. "Where?" asked Splinter. "It's like I've seen them in an un-mutated form before," said Ash. He studied the two mutants closely. Ash then finally was able to recognize certain traits from them. He recognized Anton's mohawk and belt. He was also able to identify Ivan's fake eye, gold tooth, his brass knuckles and shoulder pads. "I don't believe it! Anton and Ivan?!" asked Ash.

"So, you figured out it was us," said Ivan. "How'd you end up getting captured and mutated by the Shredder?" asked Cilan. "The Shredder and his army destroyed the majority of Team Rocket and slain Giovanni," said Anton. Everybody's eyes widened when they heard that. "Really?! Team Rocket has been destroyed?!" asked Ash. "Pika?!" asked Pikachu. "That's right. He slain the majority of the organization and mutated the survivors into mutant soldiers for him. Most of us are still adjusting to their mutations," said Ivan.

"So what do we call you guys now anyway?" asked Michelangelo. Anton and Ivan looked at each other in disbelief. "You need mutant names. And it just so happens, I am awesome at naming stuff. How about . . . pork rinds and chilly cheese fries?" said Michelangelo. Ivan and Anton looked at each other. "Not so good names," said Ivan. "How about . . . sprinkles and hot sauce?" asked Michelangelo. "Nyet," said Ivan. "The Royal Weenies?" asked Michelangelo. "Nyet!" said Ivan and Anton. "Then how about, um Bebop and Rocksteady? Is that what you do? Randomly name enemies based on stuff you see around you?" said Anton. "Hey, it's not so bad. Kind of like the Rocksteady," said Ivan. Anton did a face palm.

Rocksteady then charged and punched Michelangelo, sending them crashing into his brothers. Due to his brass knuckles fusing to his hands, Rocksteady's punches were quite painful. "No one can face the Bebop and Rocksteady!" said Rocksteady. "I am not going to be called Bebop, got me? That is the dumbest name ever!" said Bebop. Bebop then fired a Flamethrower attack from his mouth at the TMNS. They managed to dodge it just in time. The Squirtles counteracted by firing Water Gun attacks. Both mutants were soaked, but it wasn't enough to take them down, despite type advantage. "Looks like they're much tougher than a normal Emboar and Rhydon!" said Nancy. "Pika!" said Pikachu. "You got that right!" said Bebop.

"Look's like I'm gonna have to help!" said Leatherhead. Suddenly, the ground underneath Bebop began to rumble. "That doesn't sound good," said Bebop. Suddenly, something burst out of the ground and poked Bebop in the butt. He screamed as he clutched his butt while jumping. The thing that poked him were the horns of Ash's Aagron. The Pokémon let out a mighty roar. "Nice timing, Aagron!" said Ash.

The Technorover began to fire its missiles at the Battle Shell. April skidded to avoid the missile. "Slick driving, April. Now take us alongside it," said Merissa. The Battle Shell then revealed its side missile launchers. It fired some missiles that hit the tank treads of the Technorover. Traag and Granitor had no choice but to stop the Technorover. "We'll take them on foot," said Traag. They began to charge at the heroes' vehicles. "Fancy shooting, hepcats," said Dask. "Let's go back and eradicate them," said Casey.

(Insert "Boss Theme" from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles [Arcade Game])

Leonardo, Donatello and Leatherhead teamed up to fight Bebop, while Raphael, Michelangelo and Ash's Aagron were dealing with Rocksteady. Rocksteady executed some punches on Aagron. Aagron was blocking the mutant Rhydon's punches by crossing his arms. Aagron's steel plate on the top of his head began to glow white and it slams its head into Rocksteady. This was Aagron's Iron Head attack. Michelangelo and Raphael used not just their Water attacks against Rocksteady, but also their Fighting-type moves and Gyro Ball attacks. Raphael punched Rocksteady using his Brick Break attack. Michelangelo fired a Gyro Ball, but Rocksteady dodged it. Then, both Aagron and Rocksteady got into a hand lock. The two struggled to gain the upper hand. (No pun intended.)

Leonardo hurled a Water Shuriken at Bebop. Bebop executed a Defense Curl attack to lessen the damage of the Water Gun attack. He then executed a Hammer Arm attack on Leatherhead. Leatherhead stumbled back, but managed to recover. "They're more dangerous than Tokka and Rahzar, I'll give you that," said Leatherhead. "Especially since the mutagen that Shredder used wasn't contaminated," said Donatello. Bebop curled and began to roll toward Leonardo, Donatello and Leatherhead. "Look out! It's a Rollout attack!" cried Leonardo. The three heroic mutants barely dodged Bebop's incoming attack. Bebop sharply turned around and charged again. Donatello saw Rocksteady struggling against Leatherhead and got an idea. "Hey, Bebop! Is that the best you can do!" said Donatello. "Don't call me that!" said Bebop. He rolled toward Donatello and began to chase him. As Leatherhead struggled with Rocksteady, he saw Donatello being chased by Bebop. He then let go of Rocksteady's hands and began to run. "That's right! You better run!" said Rocksteady. Donatello ran past Rocksteady. "Huh?" asked Rocksteady. Rocksteady turned around and gasped. Bebop tried to stop, but it was too late! CRASH! Bebop crashed into Rocksteady and the two toppled over. "Vatch vhere you're going!" said Rocksteady. "Sorry. Still trying to get used to my Emboar abilities," said Bebop.

Everybody began to hear police sirens. "Uh-oh, cats and kittens, you dig what I dig?" asked Zak. Some police cars were on their way. "Don't worry. They're our backup to repel those rockheads and those two muscle bound mutants," said Jenny. "Squirtle," said the Squirtle Squad. Bebop, Rocksteady, Traag and Granitor knew they couldn't stay and continue the fight. "Retreat! Retreat!" said Traag. "Ve'll settle things with you Squirtles later! And you too, Ash!" said Rocksteady. Bebop, Rocksteady and the two Stone Warriors began to flee the scene. Some of the police cars began to chase after the four villains, while the rest stopped outside of Professor Oak's laboratory. One of the cops present was Krillin. "We're here. Is everybody okay?" asked Krillin. "We're fine," said Misty

"So, how you get such a strong Pokémon like Aagron?" asked Raphael. "Well, funny story really. It all began when May, Max, Brock and I were minding our own business as we were trying to reach Fortree City for my sixth Gym Badge to enter the Hoenn League," said Ash.

Three Years Ago . . .

Ash, Pikachu, Nancy, May, Max and Brock were wandering in the mountains, which would lead to Fortree City. As they were walking, a Pokémon walked into their path. It was a round, pink ball with pointed ears and large, blue eyes. It has rubbery, balloon-like skin and small, stubby arms and somewhat long feet. On top of its head is a curled tuft of fur. It was also carrying a black marker with an aqua green tip. Ash and co. gasped. "It's Jigglypuff! Run!" cried Ash. Ash and the others started to run away from Jigglypuff. But Jigglypuff began to run after them. "Wait! Come back! Don't you want to hear me sing?" cried Jigglypuff. "Uh-oh! It looks like its desperate to sing its song so we can hear!" said Brock. "But we can't hear it if we fall asleep every time it sings!" cried Ash. "If that Jigglypuff catches up with us and sings us to sleep, she's gonna scribble our faces again!" cried Nancy. "I don't want to get my face scribbled again!" cried Max.

(Insert "Wreakin' Havoc" from Pokémon)

Suddenly, everybody stopped when they all heard a loud roar. Everybody turned around and saw an Aagron coming their way. Part of its face was scribbled and it was angry, very angry! So angry that the ink scribbled on its face was starting to melt as its face turned red. Jigglypuff shrieked and began to run away from Aagron. Ash and the others ran out of the way as Aagron pursued Jigglypuff. "That Aagron must be really angry if its chasing after Jigglypuff!" cried Nancy. "Pika," said Pikachu. "Somebody help me!" cried Jigglypuff. Ash, Pikachu, Nancy and Brock just stood there. "Don't just stand there! Help her!" cried May. "Sorry May, but that Jigglypuff scribbled too many people's faces. She needs to face the consequences," said Ash. "You're wrong! Brock, please tell Ash is wrong!" said May. "I'm afraid I have to agree with Ash on this one," said Brock. As Jigglypuff was running, Aagron jumped into the air. He then began to descend toward Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff saw Aagron's shadow looming over her. Aagron then stomped on Jigglypuff real hard. Ash and his friends winced at the sight of Aagron stomping on Jigglypuff.

(End Music)

Aagron lifted its foot up. Jigglypuff was complete flattened into a pancake due to what Aagron did. May let out a horrified gasp. "Jigglypuff's completely flat!" cried May. Ash, Pikachu, Nancy, Max and Brock were trying not to laugh. Aagron chuckled before it spotted Jigglypuff's marker. The Steel & Rock-type Pokémon then stomped on the marker. This destroyed the maker. "NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Jigglypuff.

After that, Aagron peeled Jigglypuff off the ground and began to inflate air back into Jigglypuff's body until she was inflated to the size of an exercise ball. Aagron then raised its hand. "Oh no! Aagron's gonna pop her!" shrieked May. But it didn't. Instead, Aagron tied a string around Jigglypuff's lips, sealing them shut. This in turn, caused the air that was in Jigglypuff's body to become trapped. Aagron then let go of the string and Jigglypuff began to float into the air. Jigglypuff wanted to scream, but she couldn't because her mouth was sealed shut. Aagron chuckled.

Ash, Pikachu, Nancy, Brock and Max finally couldn't hold in their laughter any longer. They burst out laughing hysterically. Aagron saw them laughing and just shrugged. May wasn't amused. "How could you laugh at that poor Jigglypuff?! That poor thing is left to float in the air and no way to scream for help!" scolded May. Ash had a stern look on his face. "Look, May. That Jigglypuff has caused Pikachu, Nancy, Brock and I too much trouble. And as I said earlier, she must pay the consequences for her actions," said Ash. "Pika," said Pikachu in agreement. "Vul," said Nancy, also agreeing. "I'm afraid we outvote you, May," said Brock. May sighed in defeat. Ash saw that Aagron starting to leave. "I would love to add that Aagron to my team," said Ash.

Team Pansies also wanted to capture Aagron too. The three dumb thieves were hiding behind a rock, waiting for Aagron to come by. When the Steel-type Pokémon got closer, they sprung out of their hiding place and pointed a net missile launcher at its face. "You're coming with us, metal head!" said Jessie. Suddenly, Aagron bit off the barrel of the missile launcher and chewed it up. "Hmm. Probably didn't have his iron today," said James. Team Pansies tried several other attempts to snag the Steel Pokémon. But they all back fired, one by one. They were so desperate, that they built a giant robot just to capture it. But they forgot one thing; Aagron loved to eat metal. After it roughed up the robot, it ate the entire robot, leaving not a nut or bolt left. Ash and his friends arrived just in time to see Aagron finishing eating the entire robot. Aagron let out a loud belch that triggered a nearby rockslide. "Now that's one powerful burp," said Ash. Aagron then sent Team Pansies blasting off with Iron Head. Ash challenged Aagron to a battle and used his Charizard to battle it. Charizard managed to defeat Aagron and Ash caught the Pokémon. Aagron would be a great help in helping Ash win the next several leagues.

Present Time . . .

"Whatever happened to that Jigglypuff?" asked Raphael. "Nobody knows. Nobody has seen or heard from it ever since that day," said Ash. "That's what makes me worried. I'm afraid something even worse may have happened to it," said May. "But we don't have time to worry about Jigglypuff. 'Cause we got bigger problems to come," said Michelangelo. "Has anyone stopped to think why the Shredder has a pipeline to an entirely different dimension?" asked Cilan. "Those stone warriors could just be the beginning," said Donatello. "The beginning of that invasion that Arceus predicted," said Leonardo. "What are you talking about?" asked Delia.

"I can explain everything," said a voice. "Huh?" asked everybody. They looked up to the sky and saw the one who spoke was none other than Arceus himself. "It's Arceus!" cried Ash, Pikachu, Nancy, Brock, Dawn and the TMNS. Arceus then touched down to the ground on all fours. "Gather around everybody and I shall explain everything about what's going on," said Arceus.

Bebop, Rocksteady, Traag and Granitor ran all the way back to Saffron City. The police were still hot on their tails. "We must fight our way through them and find the Neutrinos," said Granitor. "This weather satellite will take care of them and the Neutrinos," said Traag as he took out a small, black, orb-shaped device from his belt. "But we don't need to know what the weather is," said Bebop. "This doesn't report weather, you idiot. It makes weather! It's Krang's old design," said Traag. Traag began to turn a dial to choose the setting for the device. "Fair with high clouds. Mild showers. Aha! Total Chaos!" said Traag. The Weather Probe began to float into the air. "Within two hours, the weather it creates will stamp this city flat! To the Technodrome!" said Traag. Once the Weather Probe was in the sky, it began to unleash its terrifying power.

The heroes have had their first battle with the stone warriors and the mutated Anton and Ivan, now called Bebop and Rocksteady. The backstory of Ash's Aagron has been revealed too, which also reveals what became of that troublesome Jigglypuff. Arceus has appeared before everybody, but Traag has unleashed the terrifying weather probe . . .
