29. Faded Friendship
Vermilion City: Abandoned Mansion
In the abandoned mansion, the villains were angry to see heroes having fun with each other while walking in the streets through Charmcaster's magical screen.
"Ugh! Charmcaster, cut it off! I hate those brats and twerps getting along with each other!" Dr. Animo said as Charmcaster made magical screen disappear.
Then, Billy had an idea.
"Wait! I have an idea! What if brats and twerps didn't get along and argue each other like us, then will we able to beat them?" Billy asked.
"Good idea! Wrecking their friendship, nice Billy!" Captain Nemesis said.
"We break their trust. We break their bond." Mazuma said.
"That we can agree on." Charmcaster said.
Vermilion City: Restaurant
At the restaurant, the heroes were waiting for food.
"Hey, waiter! Give us rice and dal, please?" Kevin said to waiter.
"I want noodles." Julie said to waiter.
"I want rice and vegetable curry." Chloe said.
The waiter went to get the food for the heroes.
In the kitchen, the waiters brought the food but, they were knocked unconscious by Charmcaster and Kangaroo Kommando then disguises themselves as the waiters.
"I will apply some chilli powder." Kangaroo Kommando said as he applied more chilli powder on noodles.
"The kids will experience the taste of mustard." Charmcaster said as she added more mustard on dal.
The two villains went to heroes, giving food to heroes.
"Ah, food is here!" Kevin said.
"Mamamiya! Enjoy!" The waiter (Kangaroo Kommando) said as the two villains ran off into the kitchen. The two villains ran behind the wall to watch heroes.
"We'll be having fun and those brats will be..." Charmcaster said.
"Kaboom!" Kangaroo Kommando said and the villains laughed silently.
Kevin and Julie eat the food and their mouths began to burn.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Kevin screamed.
"Hot! Hot! Hot!" Julie said.
Kevin and Julie searched for water but, nothing is found in restaurants.
"Water! Water! Somebody give us water!" Kevin and Julie shouted.
Ben uses the Omnitrix to change into Water Hazard and he launches water from the portholes in his hands at Julie and Kevin, extinguishing the burn in their mouths.
"Thanks Ben." Kevin and Julie said to Water Hazard.
"No problem-o." Water Hazard said before changing back to Ben.
"Who kept more chilli and mustard on food?" Gwen asked.
"I don't know." Chloe said as she stood and the mustard sauce and chilli powder dropped from her pocket.
"Uh, what's this?" Kevin asked as he picked mustard sauce and chilli powder. "Chloe...?"
"No! It wasn't me, Kevin! Listen-" Chloe faltered but Kevin interrupted.
"Oh yeah?! Are you the one who kept chilli and mustard on our food?" Kevin asked.
"I won't such mischievous things and-" Chloe said and Kevin went off.
Chloe was sad.
"Don't be sad, Chloe. I trust you." Serena pacified Chloe.
"Thanks, Serena." Chloe said.
Behind the wall, the two villains rejoicing silently.
"Mission successful!" Charmcaster said.
"Now it's Goh's turn." Kangaroo Kommando said.
Vermilion City: Cerise Laboratory
At the Cerise Laboratory, Goh eating a banana and Dawn reading while roaming.
Unbeknownst to the two, a mutated chameleon is blend to the wall.
"Camy, do as I say." Dr. Animo said from earpiece of Camy's right ear.
Goh ate the banana and threw the banana peel to the dustbin.
Camy used it tongue to get the banana peel and threw on the floor. Later it blends to the wall.
Dawn steps on the peel and slipped to the ground.
"Ow!" Dawn screamed.
"Dawn, are you okay?" Goh ran to Dawn for a help. Goh helped her to stand up.
Dawn saw the banana peel and she picked it.
"A banana peel?! Aren't you hygienic, Goh?!" Dawn asked.
"I'm! I don't throw a peel on floor!" Goh said.
"Then why did you throw a banana peel on the floor? What if others fall into this? How rude!" Dawn said.
"Don't blame me!" Goh said.
Dawn left in anger.
"Dawn, listen-" Goh faltered and he was upset.
Vermilion City: Abandoned Mansion
In the abandoned city, Camy came back and jumps on Dr. Animo.
"Good, job, Camy." Dr. Animo said, patting Camy.
"Let's continue, our job!" Captain Nemesis said.
The villains planned to do more.
The day went on with various antics by the villains such as Clemont's invention is destroyed, Serena's performance practice is ruined, Ash's battle practice is interfered, Bonnie's fun ruined and Gwen's meditation disturbed.
By the end of the day, the heroes had nothing but contempt for each other except Chloe, who instead worried about her friends.
"Oh look. It's over." Goh said.
"I don't wanna see your faces. Ever again!" Clemont said.
"I'm going back to Sinnoh for home, away from you guys." Dawn said.
"That's the only thing we agree on. Goodbye!" Ash said and everyone began leaving.
"Everyone, wait!" Chloe said, stopping her friends but, no avail.
The friends left the Cerise Laboratory, going back to their homes.
Kevin, Gwen and Julie came here.
"Guys, stop my friends! They are leaving to their homes!" Chloe said.
"Ha! Who cares?" Kevin said, bluntly.
"Let them be." Gwen said and the three left the Cerise Laboratory.
Chloe fell to her knees and began crying.
Then, Ben and Rook came here.
"Chloe, what's wrong?" Ben asked.
"Ben and Rook. Are you leaving the Cerise Laboratory?" Chloe asked.
"Nah. Where are kids? And what about Gwen, Kevin and Julie?" Ben asked.
"They left... *sob* Cerise Laboratory." Chloe said.
"What?!" Ben and Rook asked.
"Why?" Ben asked.
"Because they're blaming each other for no reason." Chloe said.
"Blaming each other?" Rook said.
Vermilion City: Abandoned Mansion
In the abandoned mansion, the villains were celebrating at their success.
"Mission success!" Billy said.
"That was fun and easy!" Captain Nemesis said.
"So, why don't we attack? After all their friendship is now history." Charmcaster said.
"Yeah, now on that, we all agree." Dr. Animo said.
Vermilion City: Cerise Laboratory
At the Cerise Laboratory, Chloe sitting on the chair, sadly.
Chloe wept her tears and remembered her friends.
Then, the villains arrived with their new mecha outside.
"Ugh, What a time for a villain attack." Ben said.
"Right when there's an arguement." Rook said.
Chloe and the Omniverse duo came out to confront the villains.
"Oh, what's this? It's just you this time." Dr. Animo said.
"Where are your friends, Tennyson? Are they gone after disagreement?" Charmcaster asked with a mock and laughed.
"How did they know that?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah, and I'm sure that a bunch of incidents that made you unable to stand one another." Captain Nemesis said.
"Wait a sec! I'm starting to see what's going on here." Rook said.
"Yes. You're the ones who set up those incidents and blame them on the other kids to ruin their friendship!" Ben said.
"Correct! It was us all along and proud of it!" Dr. Animo said.
"You're gonna pay for that!" Ben said.
Ben changes into Blitzwolfer and Rook had his Proto Tool convert into Tonfas.
Chloe sent out Boltund and Eevee.
Blitzwolfer howls at mecha, emitting powerful green sonic howls but it has mirrors to deflect the attack, causing Blitzwolfer to cover his ears.
"Boltund and Eevee, use Thunder Fang and Tackle!" Boltund and Eevee rushed towards the mecha and tries to unleash their attacks but failed as the mecha blocked the attacks successfully.
Rook threw tonfas at mecha but the mecha threw them back at Rook, hitting him.
"Now it's our turn!" Dr. Animo said as he pressed the button to fire the red beams at Ben, Rook, Chloe and her Pokémon.
Blitzwolfer changed back to Ben due to severe pain from the attack. Chloe, her Pokémon and Rook too suffered immense pain from the attack.
"HAHAHAHA! You're all weak!" Charmcaster said.
"Let's finish them." Billy said.
"Goodbye to the worst friends in the world!" Dr. Animo said as he tries to aim the mecha arm gun at three injured heroes.
But then, the mecha is destroyed by the combination of Hurricane, Hydropump, Swift, Dark Pulse, Ice Beam, mana balls, buzzsaw disc and green beam. The villains were got out of the mecha.
"What was that?" Billy asked.
It was Ash, Goh, Clemont, Serena, Dawn had Dragonite, Sobble, Luxray, Pancham, Piplup, Gwen, Kevin and Julie who used the attacks.
"What?! I thought you left after your friendship is broken!" Dr. Animo said.
"Yeah, until we realized what was going on!" Ash said. "Thanks to Gwen, she told us everything using her time video spell and brought us back using the portal."
"Gwen, I thought-" Chloe said.
"I wasn't angry, just pretending. So, I, Kevin and Julie can investigate." Gwen said.
"Now let's teach the villains a lesson for ruining our friendship!" Dawn said.
"Yeah!" Goh said.
"Uh oh, we're doomed..." Captain Nemesis said.
Kids had their Pokémon to use Hyper Beam, Hydropump, Discharge, Dark Pulse, Bubble Beam and Thunderbolt at the villains to send them blasted off.
"They got what they deserved." Clemont said.
"I can't believe we almost let those baddies ruin our friendship." Goh said.
"But Chloe didn't get angry with us." Serena said.
"I guess that her trust in us was greater than any of ours. You're a good friend, Chloe." Ash said.
"But thanks to them, I think our friendship is even stronger than before." Dawn said.
"Guys... Thank you!" Chloe said as she wept the tears of joy. Then she and the heroes came together for a group hug.
