Episode 353: Luxray Vision
After completing a bridge and keeping it from falling apart, Sora, Kairi, Ventus, Terra, and Aqua made their way towards Mount Coronet. It was there that Sora plans to make his Magneton evolve into a Magnezone. It was there that he was being challenged by a young trainer with blue hair and blue eybrows.."Hey, you're Sora Ketchum, aren't you?" The boy asked.
"Sure am," Sora said.
"Good, because I've been looking for a strong trainer to battle! And the one I'm sending out is my Nosepass!" The boy challenged as he threw his Pokéball and his Nosepass came on out to battle.
:Same here," Sora said, taking out a Pokéball and threw it. "Go right in, Magneton!" His Magneton came out to battle against Nosepass. "Okay, Magneton! Let's how him some burning spirit!"
"Nosepass! Show this guy some real burning spirit!" The boy satted as Nosepass stood its ground. Magneton did the same thing.
"Nosepass! Zap Cannon!" The ordered as Nosepass sends out Zap Cannon right at the magnet Pokémon.
"Dodge and use Magnet Shot!" Sora ordered. Magneton avoids Nosepass's Zap Cannon and fires Magnet Bomb right at the compass Pokémon. Nosepass got struck by Magnet Bomb.
"Zap Cannon, Nosepass!" The boy ordered. Nosepass fires Zap Cannon right at the magnet Pokémon again.
"Dodge and use Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered. Magnetton fires Thunderbolt right at Nosepass.
"Dodge and use Zap Cannon again!" The boy ordered. Nosepass avoids Thunderbolt and fires Zap Cannon again.
"Dodge it, Magneton!" Sora called out as Magneton avoids Zap Cannon by levitating upwards. "Now, use Tri-Attack!" Magneton fires Tri-Attack and heads right towards Nosepass.
"Nosepass! Block it with Magnet Bomb!" The boy ordered. Nosepass blocks Tri-Attack with Magnet Bomb. "now, use Rock Slide!" Nosepass forms rocks and sends them down at the magnet Pokémon. The rocks came down fast and struck Magneton. Magneton wasn't finished yet. Magneton and Nosepass glares at each other as they both started to evolve.
"Magneton is evolving!" Ventus said.
"And so it Nosepass," Meowth added.
Both Nosepass and Magneton both became a brand-new Pokémon. Megneton was now a Magnezone as Nosepass was now a Probopass
"Great job, Probopass!" The boy said.
"Look at you, Magnezone," Sora said.
"Thanks for the help, Sora," the boy said.
"You too," Sora said. Just when they were doing to continue the battle, something was flying above them. It was a large green parrot-like Digimon. It has golden rings on its wrists and wings on its back.
"That's a big bird," the boy said. Sora took out his Digidex and he went wide-eyed.
"Great, another DIgimon. This one is called Parrotmon. Parrotmon is a bird Digimon and an Ultimate level. It's got a devastating attack called Static Destroyer," Sora said.
"I'll deal with that green turkey," Biyomon said, taking flight as she satrted to Digivolve. "Biyomon Digivolve to... Birdramon!" Birdramon took flight and headed right towards Parrotmon. "Meteor Wing!" She fires fireballs right at Parrotmon and it bounces right off of it. Parrotmon cackles.
"My turn," Parrotmon said. "Static Destroyer!" Parrotmon fires lightning from the head feathers. Birdramon got struck hard.
"Birdramon!" Ventus gasped. Parrotmon flew and grabbed Birdramon and slammed her on the mountain.
"Static Destroyer!" Parrotmon shouted firing electricity at her again. Birdramon got hit hard. She wasn't going to give up, so she began to Digivolve.
"Birdramon Digivolve to-" Birdramon has transformed into a large bipedal bird. She has her wings on her back and had a mask over her head. She had blonde hair braided. "Garudamon!" Everyone was amazed by Garudamon's sudden appearance. Kairi took out her Digidex and used it on her.
"Here we are. Garudamon. She's a bird man Digimon and an Ultimate level. She protects the land and unleashes her attack known as Wing Blade," Kairi said.
"So cool," the booy said.
"I'm going to pluck all your feathers off!" Parrotmon shouted as he flew right towards Garudamon.
"I don't think so! Eagle Claw!" Garudamon shouted as she swiped her claw at Parrotmon and right down the ground. "Wing Blade!" Garudamon sends out a red aura taking shape of a large bird of prey and heads right towards Parrotmon. It struck Parrotmon as he screams and dissolves into bits of data. Garudamon reverts back into Biyomon. "That takes care of that parrot."
"Should we continue where we left off?" The boy asked.
"I'm game if you are," Sora said. The two of them duked it out in their battle. "Magnezone! Fire your Magnet Bomb!"
"Probopass! You use Magnet Bomb too!" The boy ordered. Magnezone and Probopass fires their Magnet Bomb and resulted in an explosion. It took them both and landed on the ground. Magnezone floats back up and ready to go. Probopass does the same thing. "I knew you won't go down that easily, Probopass! Now, use Zap Cannon!"
"Tri-Attack!" Sora ordered. Probopass fires Zap Cannon as Magnezone fires Tri-Attack. Tri-Attack struck Probopass hard and it became frozen fro the attack. "Now, use Magnet Bomb!" Magnezone fires Magnet Bomb and it struck Probopass right on the mark and earned a knockout. The boy calls his fallen Probopass back and walked up to Sora.
"That was great, Sora. Youre better than people say you are," the boy said.
"Thanks. You're pretty good yourself," Sora said.
"Anyway, I haven't introduced myself before. I'm Alan. And that was an epic battle. ALso, I wasn't expecting that bird thing to come around, but still it was awesome," Alan said.
"You're right," Sora said. "You competing in the Sinnoh Pokémon League too?"
"Yeah. I'm up here doing some training. And I want to say, good luck in your next Gym battle," Alan said.
"You too," Sora said.
They both shook hands and took off on their way. Along the way, the group came across a Sandy Cloak Wormadam.
"A Sandy Cloak Wormadam," Ventus said.
"And this one is going to make three," Kairi said, taking out a Pokéball and threw it. "Bibarel, come on out!" Bibarel came out to battle. The Sandy Cloak Wormadam started things up with a Sandstorm.
"She's using Sandstorm!" Sora said.
"Bibarel! Water Gun!" Kairi ordered. Bibarel fires Water Gun right at the Sandy Cloak Wormadam. She dodges the attack and fires Rock Blast right at the beaver Pokémon. "Bibarel! Dodge it!" Bibarel moves to avoid it.
"Kairi, remember, Rock Blast can be used more than once!" Aqua warned. And The Sandy Cloak Wormadam did fire Rock Blast more than once as Bibarel got hit by two or three of the the rocks.
"Bibarel! Smack Wormadam with your Aqua Tail!" Kairi ordered. Bibarel gave the Sandy Cloak Wormadam a smack with Aqua Tail. Kairi was certain she was weakened and she threw it right at the Sandy Cloak Wormadam and she flows inside. The Pokéball wobbles around and around. Stars swirls around the Pokéball to confirm the catch. Kairi's Pokémon Box activates and it asks her if she wants to keep the Sandy Cloak Wormadam with her. She chose to send her to Professor Oak's lab. "And now, I have the complete Wormadam set."
"I'm proud of you, Kairi," Sora said. Sora gave Kairi a kiss on the lips as she kisses him back. Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, and the Digimon all smiled.
Over to Vorvomon and the Dracomon Brothers, they kept trying to Digivolve into the Ultimate level. So, they kept on trying.
"We've been going at this for weeks, but we haven't come through even once," Vorvomon said.
"We'll gonna keep on trying," the Dracomon Brothers both said.
"Glad you agree," Vorvomon said.
The three dragon Digimon kept on trying to Digivolve into their Ultimate forms.
Over to a mansion not too far, a middle-aged man recieved a letter. And by the way the letter was written it was very threatening.
"Oh my goodness," the man said.
Just then, a younger Officer Jenny along with a large Pokémon came in. It resembles a fully-grown lion with a black and blue coat and a spiked mane. Black fur covers most of its body except the backs of its legs, midsection and some of its face. It has light-blue legs with three yellow rings on the front legs. On its rear is a spiked tuft of fur. Its tail ends in a golden star. It has red scleras and golden irises and pupils. She wore an outfit that seems similar to the Pokémon next to her.
"Are you Matthew, the mansion owner?" The younger Officer Jenny asked.
"Yes, but who are are you?" Matthew questioned.
"Just call me Marble! Marble, the super-duper ace detective!" Marble introduced.
"I believe I have requested Officer Jenny from Mahogany Town," Matthew said.
"She's super busy with a case back home, so she sent me in her place. I happen to be her top student and this will be my first official case! And this is my trusty partner Luxray!" Marble said. Luxray turned its head.
"Well, I cannot refuse your services despite your age. I welcome any help that I can get," Matthew said.
"I may never be sure who spilled the beans, but now that they've all been spilled, it's my understanding that you have recieved a threatening letter that reads that your valued treasure is in danger of being stolen, right?" Marble asked.
"Yes. I have the letter here," Matthew said as he handed it to her. She read the letter thoroughly. The letter reads:
Dear Mr. Rich man.
We're going to be taking your most valuable treasure from your little mansion. We're going to make our move at 8:00 sharp! So, you better be ready to notice it gone!
Signed,
The Beauty Gang
"So, the Beauty Gang," Marble said. "Do you have any idea who they are?"
"Not in the slightest. This is the only clue linking to them," Matthew said.
"I see," Marble said.
"But I feel that we should we should increase security just be on the safe side," Matthew said.
"Yes! I was about to suggest that!" Marble said. "Just you wait Beauty Gang! I'm going to catch you and throw you three behind bars!"
Further out, three women are hiding out in a cabin. They wore almost black skin tight bodysuits. One has black hair, one has blonde hair, and one has red hair. The one with the black hair seems to be the leader.
"So like, what do you think is in that little chest of his?" The blonde, talking like a stereotypical dumb blonde.
"What else, Sunny? Jewelry. Jewelry that can make us rich as queens," the woman with black hair said.
"Are you sure, Kitty? It seems too good to be true to me," the red head asked.
"Then, what do you think is in there, Peppermint?" Kitty asked.
"It could be full of gold coins. The kind that appeared when all those weird doors started showing up," Peppermint said.
"Or maybe, it could be some yummy tasty candy," Sunny guessed. Kitty and Peppermint sighed to her stupidity.
"You air-head! Only you would think it could be full of candy!" Peppermint spat.
"Hey, he could have a sweet tooth, you know," Sunny said.
"It could be anything. And I'm going to have it. And no obstacle is challenging enough to keep me from getting what I want," Kitty said.
"You mean, what we want," Peppermint said.
"Yeah, what she said," Sunny added.
"Fine, you too," Kitty said.
"That's more like it," Peppermint said.
"Now come on, girls, we got loads of planning to do," Kitty said.
Over to Sora, Kairi, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, and the Digimon, they were taking a walk as night has come. By that time, Sora and Kairi had exchanged their whole team except for Pikachu, Angel, Gible and Bibarel for Luxio, Thwackey, Raboot, Drizzile, the Alolan Vulpix, the Aloan Sandshrew, Jolteon, and Granbull. They spotted a mansion.
"Look! A mansion!" Ventus said. "Maybe, whoever lives there can give us some rooms to sleep for the night."
"Let's hope that someone lives there, because I don't want to take my chances with a Ghost Type Pokémon like the last time," Sora said.
"Me neither," Kairi said. The Digimon were confused.
"What do you mean?" Veemon asked.
"You weren't with us at the time, but we made a stop at a smiliar place once when it started to rain. We needed to get out of the rain and we needed to rest up, so we didn't know it before, but a Haunter was lurking the place, playing pranks on us," Sora said. "Sophocles was scared out of his wits when he was with us with Lillie and the rest."
"I remember how Acerola wished there was a real ghost in the mansion with us," Kairi said, giggling. Sora, Ventus, Terra, and Aqua all shared a laugh.
"But we might as well have a look," Terra said.
"Good idea. If someone lives here, we could a place to rest. And on top of that, I'm hungry," Agumon said.
"So are the rest of us, Agumon. And me Digivolving into Garudamon has sapped some of my energy," Biyomon said.
Everyone got closer to the mansion grounds. They looked around and saw how quiet it was being.
"I don't see anyone here," Armadillomon said.
"It's too quiet. I bet my tail ring that something is hiding out here," Gatomon said.
"The lights aren't even on," Meowth said. Their motions activated the lights, and shines right on them.
"You were saying?" Ventus asked.
"Okay, you evil Digimon! Time for you to come on out and face us!" Sora called out.
"There you are!" A voice called out. Everyone all looked up to see Marble and her Luxray. "I got you now, Beauty Gang!" Luxray jumped off, much to her dismay. Everyone were shocked to see the Pokémon coming down. Luxray started to chase after Pikachu.
"A Luxray!" Aqua said.
"No, not again," Marble said. She clibs down from the rooftop as Pikachu avoids Luxray's claws.
"Hurry up, Pikachu! hide in the shrubs!" Sora called out.
"It won't do any good!" Terra said. Pikachu hides in the shrubs. Luxray;s eyes glows yellow as it searches for Pikachu. It found them as he kept his head down. Luxray jumps and comes to deliever an Iron Tail on Pikachu. Pikachu runs right out.
"Wha?" Sora asked.
"That's what I mean. Luxray has a keen eyesight that allows it to spot anything, no matter how well hidden it seems," Terra said. Sora took out his Pokédex and scanned the Pokémon.
Luxray, the Gleam Eyes Pokémon
The evolved form of Luxio
Type: Electric
Luxray can see through solid objects. It will instantly spot prey trying to hide behind walls, even if the walls are thick. Luxray's ability to see through objects comes in handy when it's scouting for danger.
"What good eyeballs Luxray has," Sora said.
"Luxray!" Marble called out to the Pokémon. "Please, don't move until I tell you!" Luxray disobeys Marble and came at Pikachu with another Iron Tail.
"Here comes another Iron Tail," Gomamon said.
"Pikachu! You use Iron Tail too!" Sora ordered.
"You too, Angel!" Kairi ordered.
The Pokémon couple clashed with Luxray's Iron Tail like swords. They stood against their ground.
"Those are tough Pokémon. I'm especially impressed with that Pikachu. Okay, come on out!" Marble shouted as security guards all came out and surrounded them all.
"We're surrounded!" Ventus gasped.
"Now, grab the Beauty Gang!" Marble ordered. The security guards attempted to grab them when Gatomon stepped in and gave them a glare.
"Cat's Eyes!" Gatomon shouted as the guards all froze in place. Marble was stunned to see what the cat-like Digimon was doing. "Sora! Now!"
"Thanks, Gatomon! Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered. Pikachu gave the guards a Thunderbolt and shocked the guards. Marble was impressed by Pikachu's attack.
"Wow! What a Thunderbolt! It must be so awesome to use Electric Type moves!" Marble exclaimed. This confuses the kids and Pokémon as the Digimon were standing their ground.
"What do you mean by that?" Sora asked.
"Don't let your guard down! She's got to be working with Devimon! What did he promise you?" Agumon barked.
"Devimon? What are you talking about? I see what you're doing. Youre trying to throw me off by shouting out some random stuff! That's not going to work!" Marble said.
"You're the one who's trying to trick us! Any alley of Myotismon is an enemy of ours!" Veemon said.
"Guys, stand down! Stand down!" Sora called out. The Digimon still stood their ground. "Look, we're not who you think we are!"
"We were only looking for a place to sleep for the night," Aqua said.
"Yeah, as if!" Marble said.
"Just a moment," Matthew spoke, walking up. He recognized Sora and Kairi. "I've seen two of these people on TV. The girl is the one who was in the Hearthrome Pokémon Contest. And the boy was in the Hearthrome Tag Battle Tournament. Am I correct on both accounts?"
"Yeah, that's exactly right," Sora said.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're Sora Ketchum, the Pokémon League Champion of Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn, and you're Kairi who won the the Hoenn Grand Festival," Matthwe guessed.
"Yes, that's exactly right," Sora said. "The kid here is my cousin, Ventus, but we call him Ven. The Eevee here goes by Angel, and this is a talking Meowth and he's with us too. These are Terra, Aqua, and the Digimon are Agumon, Gabumon, Tentomon, Palmon, Gomamon, Biyomon, Veemon, Hawkmon, Armadillomon, Patamon, Gatomon, and Wormmon."
"Hi," Meowth and the Digimon all greeted.
"I'm Matthew. I own this place," Matthew said.
"Ha! I can't believe believe you thought I thought you were bandits for real," Marble said, denying she made a mistake.
"And I can't believe I was close to using you as my scratching post!" Gatomon hissed.
"Cool down, Gatomon. She made a mistake and she was wrong," Sora said.
"Just who are the Beauty Gang?" Kairi asked.
You see, my manor contains a most valuable treasure that is called the Old Charm. I received a threatening letter from the Beauty Gang, stating that they were planning on stealing it," Matthew explained.
"I gotta say that's a weird name," Sora said.
"We don't know who they are, but they sound someone who can be very vain, and I never even heard of them until now. Have any of you ever heard of them?" Marble asked.
"No. Only Team Rocket in Kanto. The same can be said for Team Magma and Team Aqua back in the Hoenn region and Team Galactic here in Sinnoh. There also some crooks we dealt with in the past," Sora said.
"Nut since you can't take any chances with a priceless treasure like the Old Charm, I've asked Officer Jenny and her team for assistance," Matthew said.
"Officer Jenny? Which one?" Sora asked.
"Mahogany Town," Matthew simply answered.
"And that's why Jenny's trainee number one, me, came to investigate you," Marble said.
"You? Number one?" Kairi asked.
"Right! Don't know who spilled the beans, but now they're spilled, it's true! The name's Marble, the super-duper ace detective!" Marble introduced.
"Oh," the group could only say.
"Yes! Not to worry, as Luxray and I will solve this mystery!" Marble stated. Aqa went up to Matthew.
"You think she can handle it?" Aqua whispered.
"Well, I couldn't refuse since she came all this way. Officer Jenny was terribly busy in another case. Say wait! Perhaps you all could help us," Matthew suggested. Marble looked at him confused.
"Well, since there are bad guys here, then we'll have to catch those crooks red-handed," Sora said.
"What color are their hands now?" Armadillomon asked. Everyone groaned at the question.
"Seriously?" Meowth asked.
"Well," Marble spoke. "Oh, all right. But you'll work under my command!" Marble said.
"Command?" Sora, Kairi, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Meowth, and the Digimon all asked.
"Come on, it'll be great," Marble said. "You'll have Marble, Ace Detective as your boss!"
"Pika," Pikachu said. He turned to look at Luxray and it's just glaring at the mouse Pokémon angrily. Luxray looks away. Pikachu didn't like its attitude one bit.
Once inside, they look upon Luxray and Sora stroked his chin.
"Okay, Shinx evolves into a Luxray, so that means, that's what Shinx will be after Luxio," Sora said.
"Yeah, that's exactly right," Marble said. Sora took out his Pokéball and lets out his Shinx.
"Look, Shinx. That's what you'll evolve into after you evolve into a Luxio," Sora said. Shinx looked over to Luxray and smiled.
"You raised your Shinx well. And I know it'll make an awesome Luxray," Marbel said.
"Thanks," Sora said. He looked at the doors in front of him. "So, the Old Charm's in there?"
"Right! The Beauty Gang's letter said they would steal it at precisisely 8:00," Marble said.
"Then, it's a good thing we're here right now" Meowth said.
"And we'll have to stand guard here tonight," Kairi said. She took out her Pokéballs and threw them in the air. "Jolteon, Sandshrew, Vulpix, Bibarel, and Granbull!" They all came out of the Pokéballs.
"Good thinking, Kairi," Sora said, taking out his other Pokéballs. "Thwackey, Raboot, Drizzile, Gible!" They came out alongside Kairi's Pokémon.
"An Alolan Sandshrew and an Alolan Sandshrew. Never seen those before," Marble said.
"Caught them when we visited some friends in the Alola region. Also, I caught them becase they're very cute," Kairi said.
"Vulpix," Vulpix said.
"Shrew," Sandshrew said.
"Okay, guys, you know what to do," Sora said. The Pokémon all undsertood what to do and stood guard.
"Now, it'll be even harder for anyone to come in without anyone knowing," Sora said.
"I know it sounds easy, but there's one thing that worries me," Marble said. They all look at Marble. "I'm concerned about Luxray. See, it hasn't been that long since Luxray evolved from Luxio. So I was trying to teach Luxray how to use Charge Beam. But he couldn't. Luxray's been unable to learn Electric Type moves. Though I figured it would get the hang of it eventually. But when we were helping Jenny chase after a bad guy. I told Luxray to use Iron Tail, but he tried to use Charge Beam instead. That was Jenny and her team of Arcanine came running in after him and trapped him with Flamethrower. Since then, things have gotten much, much worse. Luxray won't listen to a thing I say. Even the Arcanine don't like to come around him anymore."
"Is that why you were impressed by Pikachu's Thunderbolt?" Sora asked.
"Hm-hm. I was hoping if Luxray could learn some Electric Type moves, maybe Luxray would listen to me again," Marble said.
"Have you tried training Luxray on your spare time?" Sora asked.
"I did. But when Luxray gets angry, things can get really, really scary," Marble said. "I don't know how we could do any special training like this."
"Then, it's even harder than we thought," Sora said.
Outside, the Beauty Gang waltz to the manor grounds, disguised as security guards.
Back to the group, they stood watch by the doors as the clock says it was ten minutes until right.
"Almost time," Sora said.
"All right," Marble said. "Come on, Beauty Gang, give it your best shot." The Beauty Gang make their way to the most guarded spot. They spotted the Pokémon and Digimon standing watch.
"Just look at those Pokémon there. They're expecting us," Peppermint said.
"I think they're cute. I especially like that kitty cat there. I want to pet it and keep it and give it balls of yarn and those cute little mouse toys to play with," Sunny said.
"Focus, Sunny. We don't have time to play around. We have an important treasure to claim," Kitty said.
"What do we do?" Peppermint asked.
"Proceed as planned," Kitty ordered. The Beauty gang moved in to the doors. "Good evening. We have direct orders from Mr. Matthew to transport the treasure."
"But it's so close to 8:00," Marble said.
"I get it! Fool them at the last minute to fool the thieves," Terra said.
"Oh yeah! I was thinking exactly the same thing!" Marble proclaimed.
"Wait a minute! What if they're actually the Beauty Gang?" Ventus asked. Sora nodded with agreement with his cousin.
"Good thinking Ven. They could try anything to get their mitts on it," Sora said.
"Oh yeah! I thought the same thing!" Marble boasted.
"Um, they could be trying to move at the earliest time," Kitty said.
"Like, right," Sunny agreed.
"I thought that too! Pros like those thieves would be right on time!" Marble said. The Digimon were groaning in annoyance about that claim.
"Unless the thieves could have set the clock back five minutes to throw us off," Terra said.
"Right, Terra, then, it'll be 8:00 right now," Aqua agreed. The Beauty Gang were sweatingg up a storm.
"That's pretty slick and pretty sneaky," Kairi said.
Just then, Matthew walked in to check in on everything.
"Is everything okay in here?" Matthew asked.
"Everything is under control, sir," Marble said.
"They came here to move the Old Charm as you ordered," Terra said. Matthew gasped.
"Who ordered it?" Matthew asked. Everyone realized they were duped.
"It's a good thing we didn't open the doors yet," Meowth said.
"SHIT!" The Beauty Gang exclaimed.
"You're the Beauty Gang!" Kairi said.
"Hey, I was about to say that!" Marble cried. The crooks took off their disguises to reveal themselves.
"Thought it was going to be easy, but you damn kids made it a whole lot harder!" Kitty said. She took out her Pokéballs and threw them. "Purugly! Persian! Delcatty! Sharpen your claws!" The three cat Pokémon came right out to battle. Peppermint and Sunny did the same thing.
"Vileplume! Arbok! Houndour! Go!" Peppermint called out as her Vileplume, Arbok, and Houndour came out.
"Corsola! Weepinbell! Mothim! Go!" Sunny called out as her three Pokémon came out to battle.
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered.
"Pika," Pikachu nodded. Pikachu was about to attack, but Luxray pushes Pikachu to the side.
"Hey!" Sora exclaimed.
"Luxray, what are you doing?!" Marble exclaimed. Luxray charges into battle.
"Purugly, Persian, and Delcatty, use your Shadow Claw!" Kitty ordered.
"Arbok, Houndour! Fire Fang! Vileplume! Use Sludge Wave!" Peppermint ordered.
"Corsola! Use Pin Missle! Weepinbell! Razor Leaf! Mothim! Psybeam!" Sunny ordered. The three feline Pokémon charges at the gleam eyes Pokémon, but Luxray smacks them with Iron Tail. Luxray does the same thing with Houdour and Arbok as Vileplume fires Sludge Wave, but Luxray dodges Sludge Wave and smacks it with his claws. Corsola, Weepinbell, and Mothim fires their attacks at Luxray, but he smacked them away with another Iron Tail.
"Gible! Dragon Breath!" Sora ordered. Gible fired Dragon Breath at them.
"Peppermint! Give us some cover!" Kitty said.
"Houndour! Smog!" Peppermint ordered. Houndour makes a clean get away in the cover of smoke. Luxray tries to catch them, but is batted away by Weepinbell's Vine Whip. The Beauty gang calls back their Pokémon and attempted to make their escape as they fell into a secret passage down below. They all fell into it. The group shows p but they don't see the criminal trio anywhere.
"Where did they go?" Ventus asked.
"Oh no, it's the end of my career! I'm all washed up before my first arrest!" Marble cried.
"Wait, there's been no report of anyone leaving here," Matthew said.
"They couldn't have gotten far," Sora said. Marble then perked right back up.
"Of course. I was just thinking the same thing!" Marble stated.
"I must warn you that the area up ahead is where all kinds of treasures used to be stored. There are a number of booby traps hidden everywhere to stop any intruders. So be careful," Matthew warned. This surprises everyone to know that there are traps all around.
"We better wtch our step," Sora said. Luxray looks around and sees one that's right behind Pikachu.
Lux," Luxray attempted to warn. Pikachu jumped back and stepped on a tile, making the floor open up. Pikachu falls in only for Luxray to catch him. They both fall in with Angel and Meowth following them.
"Pikachu!" Sora cried.
"Angel! Don't go!" Kairi called out.
"Why am I doing this?!" Meowth exclaimed.
"Pikachu! Angel! Meowth!" Sora called out as he attempted to follow them, but Matthew stopped him.
"It's too dangerous!" Matthew said.
"But..." Sora paused.
"You think the Beauty Gang fell in that hole too?" Kairi asked.
"This time it's true. The end of my detective career," Marble groaned.
"Wait, since this is your manor, you've got to know where that trap door leads, right?" Terra asked. Marble perks back up again.
"What do you know! I was about to ask Matthew the same thing!" Marble said.
"Yes, there's a secret tunnel. Follow me," Matthew said. And everyone all said.
Down below, Pikachu, Ange, Meowth, and Luxray slide on down to the tunnel. They all looked around to their surroundings.
'Where are we?" - Pikachu subtitle.
"I don't know." - Luxray subtitle.
"Well, getting lost is better down here is way better than having to deal with an army of Koopas, or zapped by aliens, or being attacked by some random Digimon," Meowth groaned. Angel looked right at him.
"You're not serious, are you, Meowth?" - Angel subtitle.
"I'm just saying," Meowth said.
"Then, we're going have to work together to get out." - Pikachu subtitle. Luxray just scoffs at the idea.
"Something tells me that this isn't going to be easy," Meowth said.
Back up above, Mattew shows them the fireplace.
"Here," Matthew said, pressing the brick that opens it. The fireplace opens up. "Now this staircase will take you straight down to where that pit is located."
"Okay, great," Sora said.
"You just leave it to Marble, Super-Duper Ace Detective!" Marble said.
"Well," Matthew said, not sure if she could handle it down there.
"I made you a solemn promise to catch to criminals and bring them right to justice," Marble said.
"The twelve of us will stay up here just in case they make it top-side," Agumon said.
"Yes, I was about to suggest that!" Marble said.
"Make it thirteen, because Ven is staying behind too," Sora said.
"But I wanna come along," Ventus said.
"Not this time, Ven. You're needed up here too. Besides, you might end up getting lost down there," Sora said.
"But-" Ventus said.
"No buts," Sora stated. "Besides, your parents left us all responsible for you and we'll get into trouble if you got lost down there for who knows how long."
"Sora's right, Ven. It's best you stay up here. Also, the Digimon can protect you," Terra said.
"Okay," Ven accepted. With that said, Sora, Kairi, Terra, Aqua, and Marble went down to search for the Pokémon below.
Back in the pit, Luxray tried to make it out alone.
"Hey, wait up!" - Pikachu subtitle.
"Don't follow me!" - Luxray subtitle.
"We want to get out just as bad as you do!" - Pikachu subtitle.
"We goot work together if we want to get out," Meowth said.
"He's right. we can't do that if you don't work with us." - Angel subtitle.
"I don't have to do anything with any of you! And especially you!" - Luxray subtuitle.
"What is your problem? Why do you have such an attitude towrds me? What did I do to deserve such shabby treatment? Are you just mad at me because I can use Electric Type attacks and you can't?" - Pikachu subtitle. Luxray glares at him angrily.
"I don't need to explain myself to the likes of you! Make a Combee and buzz off!" - Luxray subtitle. Luxray runs ahead.
"Hey, wait for us!" Meowth called after him.
"Stop following me!" - Luxray subtitle. Not looking where he was going, Luxray triggers a trap door and he falls right to a pit with spikes at the bottom. He almost fell all the way through, but luckily, Pikachu and Angel caught him before then. Luxray was relieved that he didn't fall to his death, and looks up to see Pikachu and Angel, holding him by the tail.
"We got you!" - Pikachu subtitle.
"Let me go!" Luxray subtitle.
"Just so you'll be filled with more holes than swiss cheese? Not a chance!" - Pikachu subtitle. He and Angel started to pull him up.
"Hold on, buddy! I'll help too!" Meowth said, helping out. Pikachu, Angel, and Meowth pulled the gleam eyes Pokémon with all their might. "Wither Luxray weighs a ton or I need to work out more!. The three smaller Pokémon worked together to pull him out. Once Luxray was pulled out.
"Why did you save me? You three would have died trying to save me." - Luxray subtitle.
"We don't need a reason to help someone. We only did it because it was right." - Pikachu subtitle. Luxray was amazed by how Pikachu, Angel, and Meowth just risked their own lives to save a fellow Pokémon.
"Thanks. I mean it. Thanks." - Luxray subtitle. Luxray started to smile.
"Finally, we see a smile," Meowth said.
Over to the staircase, Sora, Kairi, Terra, Aqua, and Marble head on down.
"You're so lucky, Sora," Marble said. This confuses Sora.
"How am I lucky?" Sora sked.
"You and Pikachu get along so well, that's how," Marble said.
"Oh. Well to tell the truth, it wasn't always like that," Sora said. Marble looked at him with a puzzeled look.
"Really?' Marble asked.
"It's true. Pikachu and I got off on the wrong foot at first. When Pikachu and I first met, he didn't like me, at all. Pikachu wouldn't do a thing I said. But he got along with Kairi with no problem," Sora said.
"That was when Sora and I first met. Sora was a trainer long before I came became one myself, and before I got into Pokémon Contests. It was just the three of us when we first got started on our journey," Kairi said. "That was when Sora saved my life from those awful Pokémon hunters. Things changed for the better for Sora and Pikachu after those hunters sent their flock of Spearow after us." Kairi took Sora by the hand. "And I am still grateful to him to this day." Marble was mazed by not only how Sora was able to handle Pikachu despite a rocky start, but also how Sora and Kairi first met.
"So what do you think I should do to get Luxray and me like Pikachu and you?" Marble asked.
"That's kinda hard for me to say since everyone is different, but I do know that Pikachu and I are best friends," Sora said.
"Good friends?" Marble asked.
"Yeah. I didn't know why Pikachu didn't like me at first, but all that is in the past. I only know that I would never leave Pikachu for anything," Sora said. "I guess you can that I'm loyal to my Pokémon just as my Pokémon are loyal to me."
"Freineds, huh," Marble said. "I guess lately I've been so afraid of Luxray. I haven't been acting like much of a friend at all. Thanks for talking, Sora."
"No problem," Sora said.
Over to the Beauty Gang, they began to tunnel their way out of the pit.
"If they don't have the decency to make an exit, then well have to make the indecency to make one ourselves," Kitty said.
"You know it, Kitty. Whatever it is, it got to be so cool!" Sunny said.
Over to the Pokémon, Luxray looks around for anymore traps ahead of them, just to avoid another careless mistake. Luxray looks at the wall.
"There's a path." Luxray subtitle. He pushes the brick to open the wall. Meowth ran right in.
"Yes! We're going to get out!" Meowth cheered. Luxray warns Meowth of the danger.
"Wait!" - Luxray subtitle. It was too late, so spikes fired at teh scratch cat Pokémon. He screams as the spikes are fired, but Luxry fight back with an Iron Tail.
"That was close. Thanks for the save," Meowth said. They hear the walls move. "Now what?" The wall opens to reveal Sora, Kairi, Terra, Aqua, and Marble.
"Pikachu!" Sora said.
"Angel!" Kairi said.
"Meowth!" Terra and Aqua both said.
"Luxray!" Marble said.
"Pikachu and Angel jump into their trainer's arms.
"Glad you're okay," Sora said.
"That's great," Aqua said. Marble went to hug Luxray.
"Luxray, I was so worried about you!" Marble said. Luxray blushed and felt embarrassed. "Hey, Luxray? Do you think you and I could be friends?" This surprises Luxray greatly. Sora, Kairi, Terra, Aqua, Pikachu, Angel, and Meowth were just as surprised to hear her ask a question like that.Luxray agreed and affectionately nuzzles her.
"What a sight to see," Terra said.
"Yes! We're gonna be the strongest team you've ever seen!" Marble cheerred as she jumped up and down. She was unaware of another trap. She steps on the tile, alerting everyone. The wall closes up.
"There goes our only exit," Sora said.
The wall with the spikes closes up and comes right at them. The way the Pokémon came though started to come at them as well.
"Crap!" Sora, Terra, and Aqua exclaimed.
"I'm so sorry!" Marble apologized.
"We're going to be sorry if we don't either get out or open the wall!" Meowth said.
"This is really it! Forget career! We're all going to die!" Marble exclaimed.
"Didn't you hear Meowth? We gotta find a control switch!" Terra said. Marble perks up again.
"Amazing! I was gonna say that!" Marble said. "Luxray! Take a look!" Luxray does exactly that and hurridly seached for a switch.
"Luxray," Luxray said, letting her know she found it.
"Great, Luxray! Now use Iron Tail!" Marble ordered. Luxray charge at the wall with Iron Tail and smashes the brick. He pushes the button. The walls stops coming as Sora and Kairi hold each other as did Pikachu and Angel. The walls revert back to their positions.
"That was close," Aqua said.
"Yeah. Any later then we all would have been the right size to fit in a sandwich," Sora said. Marble hugged Luxray again.
"All's right with the world! Thanks to you, Luxray," Marble praised. The Beauty Gang made their way through the wall.
"Finally we're out," Sunny said.
"Not really," Sora said. The Beauty gang looked at the group.
"Not you meddling kids!" Peppermint exclaimed.
"You're trapped here! And the only way out is with us!" Sora said.
"Not on your life!" Kitty said. She took out a Pokéball and threw it. "Go! Persian!" Persian came on out to battle.
"Go! Arbok!" Perppermint called out.
"Go! Weepinbell!" Sunny called out as the three chosen Pokémon had all come out. Sora and Kairi each took out a Pokéball and threw them.
"Go! Shinx!" Sora called out.
"Go! Jolteon!" Kairi called out.
"Luxray! Go!" Marble called out as the three Electric Type Pokémon rushed in to battle.
"Perisian! Shadow Claw!" Kitty ordered.
"Weepinbell! Vine Whip!" Sunny ordered.
"Arbok! Poison Fang!" Peppermint ordered.
The Beauty Gang's Pokémon come right at the three Pokémon.
"Shinx! use Spark!" Sora ordered.
"Jolteon! Use Thunder Fang!" Kairi ordered.
"Luxray! Iron Tail!" Marble ordered. Luxray smacks Weepinbel with Iron Tail as Jolteon gave Arbok a Thunder Fang as Shinx charges at Persian with Spark.
"How dare you!" Kitty growled. "Use Slash on that Shinx!" Persian gave Shinx a swipe of its claws.
"Come on, Shinx! Don't let that stuck-up pussycat get the best of ya!" Meowth said. Shinx gets back up.
"Now, use Bubble Beam!" Kitty ordered. Persian fires Bubble Beam and struck Shinx hard.
"Shinx!" Sora called out. Shinx lets out a loud cry and started to evolve. Everyone were stunned by the sudden evolution.
"Shinx is evolving!" Terra said. Shinx had now become a Luxio.
"Shinx evolved into a Luxio!" Aqua said.
"Way to go, Luxio!" Sora said.
"Luxio," the newly evolved Luxio said.
"OKay, Luxio! Use Spark!" Sora ordered. Luxio charges towards the three Pokémon and his attack is much stronger than before. "Okay, Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!"
"Jolteon! Thunder Shock!" Kairi ordered.
Pikachu and Jolteon fire their Electric Type attacks and they shocked the three opposing Pokémon on the mark. Luxray jumps and absorbs the electricity.
"Luxray!" Marble gasped.
"I get it! Luxray couldn't use any Electric Type attacks, because he didn't have electricity in his body in the first place!" Terra said.
"Yes, I was thinking the same thing!" Marble said. "Luxray! Charge Beam!" Luxray fires a powerful beam of electricity and it struck the three opposing Pokémon. The Beauty Gang knew it was bad for them.
Like, uh-oh," Sunny said.
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt again!" Sora ordered.
"Luxray! Charge Beam!" Marble ordered.
Pikachu and Luxray both fire Thunderbolt and Charge Beam at the same time and it struck both the Pokémon and the trainers. They laid on the ground unconscious.
They rounded up the crooks and their Pokémon.
"Thank you very much for your assistance," Matthew said gratefully.
"Tut, tut, there's no need to thank me, sir. The Old Charm is safe and sound," Marble said. "And it's all thanks to Marble, the Super-Duper Ace Detective!"
"Humble as ever," the Digimon all said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu laughed.
"At least the bad guys are caught," Ventus said.
That was when Officer Jenny shows up and she had a stern look on her face.
"Hello there, Marble," Officer Jenny greeted. Marble knew she was going to be in trouble.
"Hi, Jenny," Marble sheepishly greeted.
"What do you think you're doing taking a case without my persmission?" Officer Jenny asked, tapping her foot.
"Uh, well, uh," Marble stammered trying to explain.
"We're going to have a talk about this later, young lady," Officer Jenny said. She turned to Matthew. "I hope Marble hasn't caused any problems for you." Matthew just smiled.
"No, Marble was most helpful. She captured the criminals who came close to stealing my precious Old Charm," Matthew said. She turned Marble. "As for you two." Marble and Luxray gulped. Her stern turned to a smile. "You two made quite the team." Marble smiled as did Luxray. "But we'll still talk about this."
"Okay," Marble said.
"But I'm sure you must be hungry. Please, come on in and eat as much as you like," Matthew said.
"Good, because I'm hungry!" Agumon said.
"Wow, I was about to say the same thing!" Veemon said.
"Hey! You stole my line!" Marble exclaimed, making everyone laugh.
The Beauty Gang were brought to justice and Marble has given her gratitude for the help of Sora and his friends. And the adventure ends for now as the meal went on. So, let's eat!
