65. Ship, Come Back!


Kanto: Viridian Forest

In the Viridian Forest, the heroes were facing Dr. Animo.

"Stop!" Ash said.

"Never!" Dr. Animo said, summoning the Mutated Spiders.

"Okay, Greninja." Ash said as he sent out Greninja. "Use Water Shuriken!"

Greninja threw many water ninja stars at Mutated Spiders, destroying them.

"Sobble, cry!" Sobble sobbed, spreading towards Mutated Spiders and making them cry.

"Pancham, Dark Pulse!" Pancham launches the black energy circles at Mutated Spiders.

"Now, it's my turn!" Julie said. "Ship, suit mode!"

Ship merges with Julie, making a suit around her.

"I would let her do that!" Dr. Animo thought and took out a taser and aims at Julie.

Dr. Animo electrocutes Julie, causing Ship to unmerge from her.

"Ship! Are you okay?" Julie asked and Ship is suffered electrocution.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Your Ship is too weak." Dr. Animo said.

"No, my Ship is not weak!" Julie said. "Ship suit mode!"

Ship is not able to merge with Julie as he suffered of being electrocuted and he ran off.

"Ship! Come back!" Julie shouted.

"Buh bye. Mission complete!" Dr. Animo said as he retreated with the captive Pokémon.

"Oh no... We've failed!" Gwen said.

"Because of Julie!" Ben said.

"Stop blaming me!" Julie argued.

"Then why didn't you dodge Dr. Animo's attack?! It's your fault!" Ben asked.

"My fault?! You didn't warn me!" Julie argued Ben.

"Guys, stop arguing!" Ash interrupted the argument.

"Stay away from us, Silver!" Ben and Julie shouted at Ash.

"Sorry..." Ash stepped back.

The two turned back, not wanting to see their faces again.

"Why don't we find Ship?" Goh asked.

"Fine!" Ben said, transforming into Jetray and flies to find Ship.

"I'll go with Ben." Ash said.

"Yeah me too." Goh said as he and Ash sent out Flygon and Dragonite.

"Burst!" Ash and Goh's Burst Hearts absorbed Dragonite and Flygon then Ash and Goh placed the Burst Hearts on their chests, releasing the flashes of silver and red lights.

Ash's body turned orange with lower body became cream, his hands became white and clawed, the mask resembles Dragonite's head formed on his head, he grew a pair of Dragonite wings and a tail and finally, a pair of antennae formed over the mask.

Goh combined with Flygon.

"Let's go!" Ash said as he, Jetray and Goh flew off.

Julie gets depressed and Gwen pacifies her.

"Don't worry, Julie. We will find Ship." Gwen said.

In the jungles, Ship is walking and he suffered electrocution.

Ship then sees the apple and eats it but, it is rotten as it spits out.

At the sky, Goh, Jetray and Ash searching Ship.

"Ship!" Ash said.

"Hey, where are you?" Jetray said.

"Ship. Come, buddy!" Goh said.

"He's not there. We searched everywhere but, Ship is nowhere to be found." Jetray said.

"How can you answer to Julie?" Ash asked.

"Yeah, I argued with her but, I don't wanna see her face. She did a mistake for not dodging Dr. Animo's attack!" Jetray said.

"Don't you care about Julie? She is depressed for loss of Ship." Goh said.

"Let's fly back to Cerise Laboratory." Ash said and the three heroes flew back to Cerise Laboratory.

Vermilion City: Cerise Laboratory

In the Cerise Laboratory, Julie is sad and thinks about the the moment where she was electrocuted by Dr. Animo and Ship ran off.

"*sigh* I think it is my fault." Julie said. "Maybe I didn't train myself and Ship."

"You didn't train yourself? Why?" Dawn asked.

"Because I relied on battle mode. I wanted to try suit mode in the battle." Julie said.

"Look. Try to use suit mode on training before missions." Gwen said.

"Looks like I have to find Ship by myself." Julie said in courage and goes out but, Ben stopped her as he came with Ash and Goh.

"Ship is lost." Ben said.

"What did you say?!" Julie asked angrily. "You've failed to find Ship?"

Ben is silent.

"It's all my fault." Julie said.

"Sorry, Julie. First, it was I who didn't warn you." Ben said in deep voice.

"It was my mistake not yours! I will find Ship and teach Dr. Animo a lesson!" Julie said.

Then, Ship, in the form of toy sized plane came in.

"Ship!" Julie said as she ran to hug Ship.

"How is he able to find us?" Goh asked.

Ben's Omnitrix began beeping.

"That's why!" Julie said. "Ben, your Omnitrix has the tracker function that Ship is able to follow you, secretly."

"Oh I forgot. What an idiot I am!" Ben said and hits his head in shame.

"It's okay. Let's start our training. This time we will kick Dr. Animo's butt!" Julie said and Ship nodded.

Viridian Forest (Next day)

In the Viridian Forest, Dr. Animo captures the Pokémon again.

Then, the heroes arrived.

"Stop capturing the Pokémon!" Ben warned.

"Here to be failed again?" Dr. Animo asked.

"Not this time! Ship, let's show for what we've got!" Julie said and Ship agrees.

"Suit mode!" Julie commanded and Ship merges to form a suit around her.

Dr. Animo uses taser against Julie but failed as she dodged the attack by performing backflip jump.

"Flight Mode!" Julie's back has formed the jetpack flies towards Dr. Animo at high speed.

Then, Julie hits Dr. Animo with her hands turned into hammers.

"Galvanic... Super... Duper... Finish!" Julie's arms combined into a powerful cannon and fires the powerful beam at Dr. Animo, sending him blasted off.

"Julie did it!" Rook said.

Ship unmerged from Julie.

"Yossha! Ship, Sore Wareware shita!" Julie said in Japanese and hugs Ship.

"See practice makes you perfect. There are modes that you must learn, Julie. Then you'll be the full fledged superheroine. From now on you'll be code-named as Armorstrike!" Ben said.

"Really, Armorstrike? Thanks!" Julie said and she trips.

Ben caught her.

"Are you okay?" Ben asked.

Julie gets infatuated with Ben.

"Ben..." Julie thought. "Nice leader, nice guy and my..."

"Hey, are you just dancing with Julie?" Kevin asked.

"Uh, nope." Ben said, leaving Julie and she gets banged to the ground.

"Hey!" Julie said.

"Oopsie...!" Ben said and giggles.


Follow, Favourite, Read and Review

A/N: I agree that I was in shock and hated the writers for breaking up Benlie. Despite my agreement to others comments to how her character had dried up and no development was made to her after a while, she was one of my favorite characters.

So, I've written a chapter focused on Julie. I can write chapters about Gwen, Kevin, Rook, Serena, Goh, Bonnie and so on.
