The PokeParty
Chapter Five: Is Meowth Good, Pikachu?
Meowth.
I was awoken by an annoying yet familiar voice. "Meowth! Wake up, quick!" I opened my eyes. It was Pikachu! But why would he care if I were up or not? I lifted my head and looked around.
"Huh?" I rubbed my eyes, jumping out of the strong arms of a pumped Hitmonchan. "What's goin' on? What happened?"
Pikachu remained silent.
"Wait.now I remember!" I eye Pikachu suspiciously. "You shocked me until I fainted! Why I outta-"
"There's not time for fighting!" the Hitmonchan scolded. "We need everyone's help to wake this Snorlax up! We don't have any spare PokeFlutes, and Snorlax ate quite recently."
"Uh." I stared blankly, and then shook my head. "Why do we need to wake some big Snorlax up? It's nighttime! Besides, I remember trying that a long time ago and there's just no way to wake one of those things up!"
"Well, actually," another Hitmonchan nearby continued. "We don't really need the Snorlax woken up, we just need to move it onto the side so it's not blocking the ranch road!"
"Ranch road?" I wondered curiously, rubbing my chin with my paw. "Hm..what ranch road? What Pokemon would need to go by it at this hour?"
"You idiot!" Bulbasaur slapped me with a vine. "No PPP Pokemon can get passed that Snorlax if it's taking up the whole road! And if they try to walk around him, they'll upset the babies!"
"What babies?" I asked more curiously, stalling them some time.
"Some Miltank and Tauros had some babies earlier, and if they cross their path, the parents will get protective and hurt them!" Cyndaquil jumped in. "So we need all the help we can get to push Snorlax over so that they can get through. If Snorlax crosses paths with the parents, they'll at least probably wake him up."
"Why don't you just walk over Snorlax?" I asked more suspiciously.
"Because, fool," Charizard growled. "Snorlax could roll over at any second and cause more damage! Even digging a hole underneath him could cause serious hazards to ground Pokemon, or other Pokemon that could fall into the holes. It takes a lot of time and money to fill them in."
"Fine, I'll help!" I jumped up and we ran off. "But where's Arbok and Weezing?"
"In the Emergency Center nearby," one of the Hitmonchan answered. "If we hadn't delivered them sooner, they could have died! You have Charizard and his wife, Charla, to thank for that."
Once we reached the Snorlax, I saw all the many Pokemon already trying to push him over. Even Onix couldn't do it!
"We knew Wobbuffet had a Counter attack," Scyther said to me. "But he's too tired right now to use it! He's resting over there. Come on, help us!"
We all gathered around. Onix, Geodude, Forretress, Crobat, Scyther, Venomoth, Marill, Psyduck, Goldeen, Staryu, Politoed, Corsola, Totodile, Cyndaquil, Bayleef, Bulbsaur, Charizard, Charla, Butterfree, Pink Butterfree, Noctowl, Heracross, Kingler, Muk, Pikachu, me, and around ten workers of PPP.
"On three!" a PPP member shouted. "One.two.THREE!"
We pushed and we pushed and we pushed some more! But no matter what, Snorlax stayed put. Nine baby Charmander and ten baby Butterfree were playing around with Togepi, Larvitar, and Phanpy the whole time. The rest of us looked like we'd all been beat up by one giant Pokemon.and we had! We fell to the ground, exhausted. Most of us had our eyes closed, but I opened one of mine to find Togepi and one of the Charmander running around near us.
Togepi climbed up my face ("Ow! Watch it, you little-") and climbed to the top of the Snorlax.
"Get down from there, Togepi!" Pikachu yelled. "We don't have time for games, we're trying to move this Snorlax, and it's impossible, and you're not helping any by messing around on it and making it more weight for us to push! Get off right now, don't make me come up there!"
Naturally, Pikachu went up there after climbing up my face. Pikachu chased Togepi around Snorlax's belly for a while until he finally caught him. Holding him tight, Togepi started moving his paws."Togi, togi.prrrri!"
"Huh?"
WOOSH! A blast of light filled the air and everything else around me!
All I saw was Snorlax moving to the side, and then we all vanished.
Hey! Were now at a campsite. The same one I was stealing hotdogs from! This was Pikachu's campsite!
"Way to go, Togepi!" Bulbasaur laughed. "I love that Teleport!"
The PPP left in a hurry to deliver more Pokemon food while the rest of us roasted marshmallows.
"Hey guys," I spoke up. "I'm really sorry about stealing your food. Me and Arbok and Weezing and Wobbuffet.we didn't mean any harm! We were just hungry, and cold, and scared the PPP wouldn't come give us food since we're from bad trainers. I didn't think you'd trust us with asking for food, so I just stole some. Weezing was supposed to use Smog Attack as backup incase one of you saw me, and you did. If you attacked, Arbok would be my backup to attack. Wobbuffet was only standing guard incase any other Pokemon nearby caught us stealing. I'm so sorry!"
"We forgive you, Meowth," Cyndaquil patted my back.
"Thanks," I smiled.
"Charizard, I have a question," Bulbsaur said. "When we were surprised at the amount of Charmander we thought you had, why did you say it's normal for you to have that many? They weren't even all yours!"
Charizard laughed. "I never said it was normal for me to have that many, I just said that's a normal amount for me!"
"But isn't that the same thing?" Pikachu pointed out.
"Well," Charizard continued. 'What I meant was, it's normal for me to be in charge of so many Charmander babies. Charizard Valley has grown since you last saw it. Hundreds upon hundreds.around three hundred Charmander are made each day. It's normal for me to have such a small amount since I already have nine Charmander of my own, plus Charla to take care of. Usually only the lonely Charizard take care of the baby Charmander."
"Oh!" we said at the same time, and laughed.
"Say," Bayleef smiled. "Are their any Charmeleon in Charizard Valley now? I mean, there must be, right?"
Charizard laughed again. "Yes, those darn teenagers."
This sent us all bursting out with laughter. "They're old enough to handle themselves and even baby-sit! I don't have any yet, but I believe my first and oldest Charmander, Charcoal, should be evolving soon. See? He's the size of a regular, full-grown Charmander. The others are very tiny, like Togepi. Charmander's already getting the rough attitude. Pre-teens!"
"I remember when you were that stubborn," Pikachu once again, pointed out. "You never obeyed Ash!"
"That was mostly because he was behind on getting this badges," Charizard added. "Otherwise I would have somewhat obeyed him. Can't fight those teenage hormones, though!"
We laughed once again.
"It must be nice to have such a big group like this all the time," I said aloud. "It's pretty depressing with me. Weezing's always sad with hardly any personality, very boring to be around. Wobbuffet's so dumb he wouldn't know what's going on if you opened his eyes! And Arbok.. he's okay, but Jesse always has him in his PokeBall. Jesse's usually too mean to be around anyway, so my only real true friend is James. It's hard to be friends with Pokemon though, when I've been around humans more."
"Wow," Cyndaquil sighed. "I never realized you were that lonely, Meowth."
"I am, and I hate it!" I sighed. "I'm sick of being the losers all the time, I'm sick of having Jesse and James catch Pokemon with me at their sides. They don't understand that Pokemon have feelings too, and they're talking back to them! They sometimes forget that I'm a Pokemon, so I'll usually get confused as to if I'm a human or a Pokemon. I don't know how to speak like a regular Meowth, or walk on all fours. Well, I can, but it's very difficult. I think like a human and act like a human. I'm basically a human in a Meowth's body, and that's all I'll ever be!"
Most of the other Pokemon around me looked teary-eyed, so I continued on with my story. "At night I always think about my past, and realize what a freak I really am. I was a freak from the very start, to have done all that just to try to impress some Meowth that I wouldn't have a change with anyway! I almost got her back, but that Persian got ahead of me. I never want to evolve, ever! I'll never be a Persian like that one that stole Meowth from me, or the one The Boss has, always mocking me. Persians are all alike, so mean and crude and nasty to everyone!"
Charizard was in tears now.
"But then I get to thinking.. If I do evolve into a Persian, will I still be able to talk like a human or walk like a human? I'll bet not! I could become a Pokemon again, a regular Pokemon! But then I'd be an evil Persian, plus being on Team Rocket's side. Jesse and James may not even be able to handle it. Besides, I don't battle, I just do evil schemes with Team Rocket that never turn out quite as evil as planned. I'm a loser, a freak! That's all I'll ever be." All the Pokemon were crying except the baby Pokemon! I didn't expect that - even I was in tears! Before I could continue (not that I had thought of much else to add to my story), a sudden rustle from behind a bush caught everyone's ears! We turned to face a bush rustling madly. "Oh, no!" Kingler got up and scurried toward it. "You guys, we forgot all about Pidgey!" "Pidgey?" I titled my head curiously, slightly annoyed that a little Pidgey had just ruined the effects my tear-jerking story was having on the other Pokemon.
"A giant Pidgey came soaring at one of the Charmander earlier," Muk explained. "Luckily, Kingler grabbed her beak with his claw and shot her behind that bush. We went over to her and saw it wasn't a Pidgeotto, but a Pidgey the size of one! She had a message in her hands and - oh, we still have to read that message! She had a broken wing, so we got the PPP to mend it. She rested behind the bush, and then we got distracted when Onix and the others arrived."
At that moment, Charizard rushed behind the bush and brought out a rather big Pidgey, slightly bigger than a regular Pidgeotto! He set her down by the fire and took the note from her talons.
"All it says is 'help'," Charizard informed. "Pidgey, do you mind explaining why we need to help? We've done all we can with your wing!"
Pidgey coughed a little, probably trying to get used to the fire so close. "Far away form here.not inside PokePlace, at Orange Islands."
Scyther, Marill, and Venomoth turned. "That's where we're from!" they shouted. "What's going on there?!"
"As some of you know," Pidgey continued. "The Pidgey family and the Spearow family have been at war for a long time now. The great and only Pidgeot leads us into a battle, and the great Fearow leads the other Fearow and Spearow into battle. We'd been winning for a long time, but now something awful has happened!"
"What, what is it?" Pikachu asked quickly, knowing that the Pidgeot that Pidgey was referring to had belong to Ash a long time ago, until he released him to help the Pidgey and Pidgeotto fight the Fearow and Spearow.
"There's a new, mysterious Pokemon helping the team of the Fearow and Spearow," Pidgey continued. "A one-of-a-kind Pokemon that no one has ever seen! It's deadly looking, and it's been destroying us! We've gotten Pidgey and Pidgeotto from around the Orange Islands, Kanto, and Johto to help us. Pidgeot sent me, the biggest carrier Pidgey, to get help from his old friends. He sensed where you were. I went through a weird ripple in the sky and wound up here, at PokePlace in Johto. I can't go back through the sky ripple, and it's a long flight to Orange Islands. I need some help with defeating this Pokemon."
"We can't all go," Charla said immediately, Pink Butterfree nodding in agreement.
"What type of Pokemon is it?" asked Charizard. "How big is it? What does it look like?"
"It's a Fire type, we believe," answered Pidgey. "It has no gender. It's very, very big. It stands on two legs, and it looks almost like a mix between a human and a bird. We aren't all that sure if it's a one-of-a- kind, but it certainly is strong! Please, some of you must come back with me!"
"Should we go?" Pikachu asked.
"Of course!" Charizard roared. "Who's coming?"
"We have to stay and take care of the babies!" Charla complained.
"We're going!" announced Scyther, with Venomoth and Marill by his side. "We want to pay the Orange League a nice visit...to kick butt!"
"I'm definitely going," I said.
"Me too!" Pikachu jumped.
"I'll go with you, I want to see Pidgeot!" Butterfree danced.
"I'm going to kick some fiery butt!" Charizard roared. "Anyone else?"
Totodile and Politoed joined in, and so did Cyndaquil. Everyone else stayed silent.
"Let's go!" Charizard roared.
Within seconds, this scene occurred. Venomoth was carrying Marill, and Scyther was carrying Politoed and Totodile. Pidgey's wing still had to heal, so she was on Charizard. Cyndaquil and I were also on Charizard, to make sure Pidgey wouldn't fall. Pikachu was riding on Butterfree.
"Let's go!" Charizard roared, and we raced through the air, heading toward a huge emergency exit door. "We're gonna be breaking some rules, but it's worth it!"
Before we could say anything more, Charizard busted through the door, followed by Scyther, Butterfree, and Venomoth. A whole bunch of PPP members were racing toward us, yelling and cursing at us to get back inside PokePlace. I turned around, lowered an eyelid, and stuck my tongue out. "Suckers!"
We were airborne! Alarms were going off, PPP members were everywhere! As we flew through the air, PokePlace getting smaller and smaller behind, I swore I could still hear an angry Hitmonlee member yelling that they should have remembered to lock that obvious exit, or at least barred the outside.
We were soaring faster and faster through the clouds! Cyndaquil and I held on tight to Pidgey, who was lying on her belly on Charizard's back. After what must have been hours later, I was surprised to see that Charizard was still soaring high, Scyther's wings were still buzzing, and Venomoth's and Butterfree's wings were still flapping like crazy, beads of seat dripping down their foreheads.
I looked down at the ground and saw that we weren't above land anymore, we were soaring over water! Pretty soon, Charizard saw a large rock sticking out of the ocean and suggested we take a break. The five fliers sat on the rock, while the rest of us chatted away and washed with the water. Well, I stayed away from the water, along with Cyndaquil. But the rest were having fun!
After about 15 minutes, we were airborne once again. I had nearly fallen asleep and felt my paws loosely over Pidgey when Butterfree cried out "Hey! Are those the orange islands?"
I look down, along with the rest of the Pokemon, to see a bunch of small islands linking each other. But something was wrong.on the smallest of the islands, blasts of fire were being shot, and Pidgey and Pidgeotto were being knocked down! Before we could fly any lower to get a closer look at this mysterious Fire Pokemon -
A huge ball of fire came shooting straight for us!
