Reopening notes: Wasn't that first part crapilicious? It's still kinda like so in this section, but I just now realized how LONG this fic is... O_O I've written out no where near half of the story, and in the comic, which leaves off where this ends (http://pikachupokemon.homestead.com/mewthreecover.html), it's gotten to 100 pages and I've still quite a long way to go... more on that later...

November 17, 2047
I woke up this morning to greet Pidgeotto's angry-looking face stare upon mine. I was sleeping in his tree!
I got out of the tree when he used a Whirlwind on me and unfortunately I was blown so hard that I collided with a sleeping Team Rocket member that was guarding the gate. He woke up in a VERY grumpy mood and attempted to hit me with his fist, but I had good reaction time and I dodged it. Even with my cat instincts, I didn't realize that the guard's partner sent out Cubone and Zubat at the same time.
After Cubone Bone Clubbed me, I used Surf on him, which was very effective against his Ground structure. Instantly, the Pokémon fainted. On Zubat I had to use Swift twice, with him trying to use Supersonic on me, but ended up using it on his trainer. The Team Rocket member got confused and told his partner to let me through. Maybe he thought I was part of Team Rocket or something, but the other person obeyed.
When I got inside the confused Rocket told a nearby Rocket that I had an appointment. The nearby Rocket looked at me as if he didn't believe me, but he didn't hesitate too long. He escorted me to the elevator and we went up seven flights of stairs before reaching the Pokémon storage compartment where the stolen Pokémon were kept in a secure room. Then the escorter went back down the elevator and left me to take the Pokémon back with ease.
Boy, were these Team Rockets absent-minded!
The first Pokémon that noticed me was Mew. She was BEAUTIFUL! Oh, it was nothing that I could describe when I first saw her! Nothing, NOTHING could be more pretty than she! NOTHING! It was love at first sight, for the both of us! It was my first burst of LOVE! It's wonderful, so wonderful that I don't think anything else has felt better!!!!!!
I was in a deep trance! What was happening to me? Soon, I shook my head and went on to business. The only way to escape was through the elevator because there were no windows, which meant that we had to go through lots of Rockets. I counted the number of Pokémon and there were maybe two dozen, which is quite a lot. But then, Team Rocket had a lot of Pokémon under their control, too. It's going to be tough getting out of the base.
Eventually I found the trainer's Pokémon, who I made friends with very quickly. Well, of COURSE we'd be friends! I was practically saving their lives! But I think that I get along with Venusaur the most.
There wasn't enough space in the elevator to fit all of us inside, so we raced down the stairs in a giddy mood. A Rocket member saw the large number and sprinted off to tell others about our coming. We tried to stop him, but he was yelling his head off so hard that most of us had to cover our ears.
The moment we got off the stair and into the main hallway, Team Rocket members were tossing their Pokéballs and sending out their Pokémon. Most of them were Rattatas and Zubats, so we fished them off easily and continued down the hallway. The main room where I first came in was surrounded by tons of Marowaks, Golbats, Raticates, and many tough poison Pokémon. Now the real fighting would begin.
Everything was CHAOS! Birds were flying all over the place, tails were swishing this way and that, Pokémon were shouting on top of voices of others, water, fire, plant, poison, and electricity collided, not to mention rock and ground! I had brought down several Zubats, a Raticate and an Arbok while everyone else was still struggling. All we were supposed to do was to get out of here, but making a few Team Rocket Pokémon faint wouldn't hurt, well, not for us at least!
There was still not enough room for us to get out, so we continued to battle. I decided to fight only Marowaks, since my Psychic move got rid of them quickly. After I finished the last Marowak that I could find, I shouted to the other Pokémon to retreat and get out!
We busted out of the Team Rocket case and we were TOUGH! Our group consisted of many Pokémon that were hard to find in the wild, including Hypno, Dragonair, Arbok, Rhydon, and of course, the beautiful and intelligent MEW!
We swished past the guarding Rocket members and se smashed past the other members with no problem at all! When we entered Pewter City, the Pokémon that had been stolen went to find their owners, except for a few Pokémon that didn't like their trainer. Brock's Pokémon that he was caring for followed me back to his daycare.
" Hello, may I help yo-" the old man turned bug-eyed at that momment, but soon started yipping as happy as an Arcanine! " Wow! I can't believe that you brought them back! Yeow!" he cried as he hugged the Pokémon. Soon, he looked up at me and said, " Mew's pretty, isn't she?" WHAT? I began to blush, but Brock wanted to spare himself, " Oh! I forgot about your reward! Here!" He got up from his knees, went to a nearby shelf, and took out some machines.
" They're simple machines that teach simple tricks such as tackle, Leer, Tail Whip, Growl, Quick Attack, Scratch… you get the idea!" he explained. He gave me the following machines that taught these moves: Tackle, two Quick Attacks, and two Scratches. Brock told me that he had a large supply of attacks.
Personally, I like to attack more than using Leer or Tail Whips or things like that. It's kind of useless to use Leer on a poison Pokémon if you know you can get rid of them with one hit!
Unfortunately, Mew belonged to another trainer, so she couldn't come with me. DARN! I had to wave farewell to Brock with only the trainer's Pokémon and my two leftover simple machines. I had plans for those machines.
We zipped through Viridian Forest easily, using my simple attacks to get rid of the bugs there. I saw a wild Pikachu there, and it reminded me of the best friend that used to always be with me. When will I find him? When will I get to stop my journey and just live in happiness with Piko?
November 18, 2047
Today we got past the Viridian Forest maze and Viridian City. The momment that we stepped inside the Pokécenter, I heard a strange, but familiar voice, or shall I say voices…
" To protect the world from devastation!"
" To unite all people within our nation!"
" To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
" To extend our reach to the stars above!"
" Jesse…"
" James…"
" Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!"
" Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
" Meowth! That's right!"
Not these people again! I couldn't just run away from them like I did the last time, and I had some allies to help me! We can whip them, it's easy!
" We've come to take the Pokémon that are rare! Hand them over or we'll MAKE you!" Jesse threatened openly to anyone who listened. Nobody paid attention and kept onto their business. My group and I went up to the nurse and asked to be healed. Jesse slunk into a gorilla-like position and made a stressed-out face.
James and Meowth, on the other hand, had a better way of getting our attention, " Take in these last moments with your precious Pokémon, because they'll be OURS soon!" James roared.
Meowth made a greedy fist with one of his hands and spat, " Yeah! Give us those Pokéballs of yours before we have to use some devastating moves!"
" I thought you were supposed to PROTECT the world from devastation!" the nurse smirked, " You're not disobeying your own motto, are you?"
" Well-uh, we, um… heh, heh…" Meowth was REALLY embarrassed! He kept on scratching his back and shuffling around, not to mention that he made up a few words that none of us understood.
" That's not what you should be worried about right now! You better drop your balls RIGHT NOW!" James shouted.
But the trainers here had a better idea. Instead of just dropping their balls, they tossed them and sent out their Pokémon! They wouldn't give up their Pokémon THAT easily!
" Hmph!" Jesse said, picking up herself, " I guess we're going to have to use some force! Ekans, go!" Team Rocket, the dozens of Team Rockets, sent out tons of poison Pokémon with Meowth included. It's battling time again!
A Muk crept up behind me and pounded me on the head. He should've used a better move! I attacked back with a Swift and again with a Quick Attack, finishing him off.
After I made a Grimer faint, I caught a glimpse of a Zubat confusing its opponent. It gave me an idea and I used it on a nearby Koffing. It was Confusion, one of my favorite moves! The Koffing got confused and I left it to possibly make itself faint.
I looked around for Pidgeot, Venusaur, and Vaporeon, who I had somehow separated from. Vaporeon was Bulbblebeaming everything in sight including trainer, Pidgeot was blowing snakes out of the window and doors, and Venusaur… well, Venusaur was doing something that I couldn't describe.
I tried reaching out to one of them, but a really tough Arbok and Golbat stopped me. I didn't feel like battling them, so I attempted to tackle pass them, but I missed and Arbok put his coils around my legs and gave me an evil look. I knew their plan: Arbok would keep me immobile while Golbat slowly lowered my stats until I was capturable. There was only one thing that I could do to keep myself fighting and not fainting: Transforming.
I transformed into Articuno and Golbat was ordered to use Bite on me, but he missed and almost hit Arbok. I used this distraction and flew up to escape, but then I decided to fight these enemies so I used Blizzard on both of them, but only Golbat fainted. Arbok used Acid on me, but I wasn't poisoned, so I struck back with Ice Beam, finally getting rid of the pests.
I fought a few more easy-to-beat enemies, but by now my health was REALLY low. I needed to get healed BADLY! I decided to turn back to normal and just destroy every enemy I saw. NO MERCY!
My merciless rage didn't last too long, though. I had finished off half a dozen Pokémon when I saw Jesse, James and Meowth taking my group away! But they were on the other side, there wasn't any possible way to reach them on time! Oh no! They were stealing the trainer's Pokémon again as well as my comrades!
Unfortunately, the main room of the Pokécenter was still filled with trainers, Team Rocket members, and LOTS of Pokémon, making it almost impossible to get out. So how did the gang get out without me noticing before it was too late? That question wasn't important at the moment, so I started pushing through people and Pokémon to reach the exit.
I pushed and shoved through the riled up trainers and the grumpy Rocket members and the fighting Pokémon, and FINALLY I got through the humongous mob that seemed to take FOREVER to get past. After I exited, I looked around the small area and spotted a Pokémart. Since the Pokécenter wasn't exactly working, I'll have to go to the mart where it should be safe to use my potions.
I used one of my Max Potions and decided to buy a few of the limited quantities of lemonade that they had. The clerk was surprised to see a Pokémon that had money, but he didn't go into a commotion about it. The customers here stared at me until I told them to stop it, but one familiar one greeted me.
" Hi again! What are you doing down here?" said the voice, " I'm going to Pallet Town where I'll ride Magikarp down to Cinnabar Island." It was the trainer I met in Pewter City!
" I haven't been able to catch any Pokémon because Magikarp's only move is Splash it doesn't so ANYTHING so I can't weaken Pokémon! He's only at level 9!" he moaned.
I decided that we could have a chat. I asked him to sit down on the bench nearby and I told him about what had happened to his Pokémon, but it didn't make any real emotion change to him. Instead, he continued babbling about Magikarp.
I was sick of listening about Magikarp, so I said to him, " Stop whining! Take these two simple machines. One teaches Scratch and the other Quick Attack. Any Pokémon, including Magikarp can learn them and they will help you catch other Pokémon very much. It's my gift to you for all you have suffered." I handed the two machines I had to him and he was HAPPY! Immediately and anxiously he taught the two moves to Magikarp, who was very happy as well now that he could actually fight.
" Oh my Pokégod! I just can't stop thanking you! I wish that I could reward you somehow, but I don't have much stuff to give…" the trainer let it hang off.
" That's OK," I said, " I just want you to feel content. Oh, and you never told me your name yet!"
" It's Lordof Pokémon."
" WHAT?" I asked gawk-eyed.
" Hey, I got you there, didn't I?" said the trainer, laughing heartedly, " It's actually Rowdy. Rowdy!"
Rowdy. Hmmm, that a very nice name if you ask me!
I said good bye to the trainer and decided to look for my comrades. Where were they? I had to think about where the Team Rocket gang would go to besides the bade back in Pewter City that I had ransacked. I looked around the city to find any suspicious looking places, but how do you know if a place is suspicious looking?
I started going south of Viridian City and I found my comrades at last! But where was the gang? I asked Venusaur that question and he said that he and his friends beat up the gang and their Pokémon, which was the game thing I would've done if I were in their place. Phew! I almost thought that I would never see them again!
" Hey, what's that?" I spotted some metal object stuffed in the bushes! Pidgeot started walking towards it, but Venusaur stopped him.
" VENU! Venu Venu!" he shouted. He used the vines on his body and dug around a little bit in the bush and they came out coiling a trap that could hold a Snorlax! " Venu nu," he told Pidgeot, saying that it was OK to get the object. Then he flung the trap behind him so it was out of harm.
The object happened to be a HM which contained Explosive Array, and it can be taught to electric Pokémon and psychic Pokémon, like ME! But who's leave a valuable HM for bait? A rich trainer or a stupid one, no doubt. This machine was rather new, so it's very rare.
What does Explosive Array do? If you want to get rid of something tougher than a boulder, you can use this move to-uh, oops. Well, you can get rid of it, but unlike the Strength move this one completely makes the object into dust, which can harm opponents a lot, but it recoils back, which is the side effect.
After using the machine for myself, my comrades and I and I decided to use it for another good thing. I went into my scientist transformation and somehow got a lot of people's attention because of the HM. I said that I would trade or sell it for the best offer. Instantly a large crowd of people came sprinting up to us yelling out their birds and jabbering about the things they'd trade.
I heard an interesting offer about going around the entire island on a cruise for all of us, so I discussed it with them. The people were amazed at how well I could understand the Pokémon, and then I told them that I studied Pokémon, which made them less suspicious.
The cruise ship, called the St. Anne III, was located at Pallet Town, which is not far from here. Unfortunately, it was almost dark by then. We'll have to find a place to stay for the night.
November 19, 2047
The route to Pallet Town was filled with low-leveled Rattatas and Pidgeys, whom I Quick Attacked past. We found a Moon Stone on the other side of the route which Venusaur hacked past. Perhaps it will be useful later one.
Pallet Town was a very small and peaceful place, but it was famous for it's Pokédex technology and it is the homeland of the Great Master. My group wanted to go aboard the St. Anne immediately, but I wanted to visit the Prof. Here. I needed some information about this master.
Prof. Gary is the grandson of the famous Prof. Oak, who aided in the Great Master's journey. Unlike his grand-father, Gary was more interested in Pokémon than people, so when he saw me, he jumped up to greet me.
" Hey! Aren't you that Pokémon that escaped the new Cerulean Pokémon lab! Heh, heh!" said the person, " You mistook me for the prof?"
Suddenly he was throwing an Ultra Ball at me!! Boy, was he pathetic! I simply whipped it away and started walking away towards my comrades who were outside of the laboratory. The trainer sent out Alakazam, who instantly used Reflect. He's fast!
Since he was a psychic Pokémon, Confusion and Psychic wouldn't do much to it. Quickly, I decided to use Barrier. Alakazam used Psychic on me, but of course it didn't do much. I used Mega Punch, but he didn't get hit because he used Reflect again. He had wasted his turn, so I used Surf, making a critical hit. Yes!
" Alakazam! Teleport!" shouted the trainer. In a second the enemy disappeared. He'd hit me no matter what… unless…
Oh, ho! Now he can't reach me! The only possible attack that could work on the Fly move is Swift, but this Alakazam didn't have it! He didn't know that I had flown up and he missed his attack! I came down for revenge with another critical hit.
" No!" roared the trainer, " Alakazam, Recover!'
The Alakazam, who was sweating, tried using Recover, but it was too weak and it failed! I took this chance to attack him with Quick Attack, causing it to faint.
" Alakazam, return!" the trainer called the creature back into it's Pokéball. " Oh, I'm sorry!" the person wailed to me, " Please don't hurt me! Here! Take this!" he jammed a machine into my hands, pushing me back to the laboratory wall, " It's Softboiled. I was going to use it on a Chansey, but I can't catch any!" He darted out through the door to somewhere I don't really need to go to. He left a LARGE amount of money on the ground, and it was probably even more than I had before!
" PidGEOT!" my bird friend scolded. I had to explain to them what happened and that we got a TM, which made them much happier. Who said that Transform was a move only Ditto could do? And who said that Chansey is the only Pokémon who can use Softboiled! Hah! Don't forget Mew and Mewthree!
Soft Boiled is a move that is like Recover, but you can also use it outside of battle, and you can even use it to heal other Pokémon! This could be very useful! Hmm, I shouldn't be expressing this feeling, should I? NAH!
" Venu VENU!" Venusaur shouted. The ship!
" All aboard for Lavender!" the captain shouted.
We rushed onto the ship with myself in my scientist disguise and we found our room, which was close to the captain's cabin. After taking a short nap and talking a bit, we got bored and decided to look around the ship. Pidgeot and Vaporeon went one way and Venusaur and I went the other. I don't think that I would need a disguise.
A lot of the rooms here were unlocked, so we went into those places. In the first one there were two people fighting over which Charmander had the best tail. The second one had nothing in it except a bad, two chairs and a Hyper Potion that someone had left behind. Then the next one had a grumpy old gentleman that had fire Pokémon that wanted to battle with Venusaur and me, but my Surf move got rid of them. The gentleman had LOTS of money with them!
There was one room that had two people that a TM to anyone who beat them, so I decided to try it out. I watched them beat a few other trainers with their Vileplume, Dewgong, Rapidash, and Electabuzz. Venusaur could probably be only able to take out Dewgong since he was basically weak against all of the others.
When I stepped up to take the challenge, the trainers just laughed. They decided to send out Vileplume first. One of them shouted it to use Mega Drain, but I used Psychic on it and it instantly fainted.
" No!" shouted the trainer. He ordered his Pokémon back and took out another ball and smirked, " Hey, you're pretty good, but you're no match for Rapidash! GO!"
I tried to use Surf, but Rapidash, being a faster Pokémon, used Fire Spin on me and then hitting me against with Flame Thrower. Determined to win the battle, I wasted a turn to use Soft-Boiled. Rapidash tried using Fire Spin again, but missed, so I used Surf again, this time making it. The fire horse neighed and snorted in pain and I decided to finish him off with a Mega Punch.
" Impossible!" the trainer roared, calling Rapidash back, " Amy! It's YOUR turn to bust these guys!"
" Sure thing, John! Electabuzz, GO!" the girl said, sending her Pokémon out. Her Electabuzz was a VERY healthy one, but I still got rid of him easily, A couple of Metronomes and a Mega Punch made it faint. The female trainer was very amazed and sent out Dewgong. It's Venusaur's turn!
Dewgong started out with an Aurora Beam, but Venusaur couldn't dodge it. After the critical hit, Venusaur decided to hit back with a Razor Leaf attack. The Dewgong used and Ice Beam and Venusaur used Leech Seed. Actually, it was very interesting to see! Dewgong was seeded, but he could still attack, but the trainer used a Super potion on the water/ice creature anyhow.
Venusaur, who was slightly restores, used Razor Leaf once more and Dewgong used Strength. The seed sapped into Dewgong, and my comrade used Sleep Powder. The trainer used an Awakening and the seed sapped again. I cheered Venusaur on, so he finished Dewgong off with Cut.
" ARGH!" the female moaned, " We've been BEATEN!" She looked over at her partner, who nodded slowly and handed her a machine. " This TM contains Dig," she told us, " Use it to escape buildings or caves. It's also a very nice attack! It's your reward for doing a good job. Congratulations! You won!"
I used the machine and we proceeded on to the next room, A few of them were locked and many of the people had something better to do besides waiting for battles. There was one room that had several Max. Revives that was inside a bag. No one seemed to be occupying the room, so we took the items. After passing a few more trainers and finding some items, we decided to head back to our cabin.
Pidgeot and Vaporeon were already back, looking at the things that they had earned: 1 Max Potion, 1 Full Restore, 2 Full heals, and some money. Venusaur and I told about finding and they talked about theirs. They met a few trainers and misplaced item, just like we did.
The horn for dinnertime came quickly, so I changed into my scientist form and brought my friends with me to the meal room. The food was YUMMY! No, no, that's not the say I should describe it. I had eaten mainly one kind of food that was ivory colored and tasted like…like… well, it was yummy, and let's leave it at that.
Tonight my friends and I went to the deck of the ship to see the sunset. I went back to my original form and looked over. It was BEAUTIFUL! In fact, it was the first sunset I ever saw! I better not get into details, so I'll be going to sleep, but I'm having a hard time sleeping in these uncomfortable beds. They're a lot more different than the other ones I've slept in.

Today we got past the Viridian Forest maze and Viridian City. The momment that we stepped inside the Pokécenter, I heard a strange, but familiar voice, or shall I say voices…
" To protect the world from devastation!"
" To unite all people within our nation!"
" To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
" To extend our reach to the stars above!"
" Jesse…"
" James…"
" Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!"
" Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
" Meowth! That's right!"
Not these people again! I couldn't just run away from them like I did the last time, and I had some allies to help me! We can whip them, it's easy!
" We've come to take the Pokémon that are rare! Hand them over or we'll MAKE you!" Jesse threatened openly to anyone who listened. Nobody paid attention and kept onto their business. My group and I went up to the nurse and asked to be healed. Jesse slunk into a gorilla-like position and made a stressed-out face.
James and Meowth, on the other hand, had a better way of getting our attention, " Take in these last moments with your precious Pokémon, because they'll be OURS soon!" James roared.
Meowth made a greedy fist with one of his hands and spat, " Yeah! Give us those Pokéballs of yours before we have to use some devastating moves!"
" I thought you were supposed to PROTECT the world from devastation!" the nurse smirked, " You're not disobeying your own motto, are you?"
" Well-uh, we, um… heh, heh…" Meowth was REALLY embarrassed! He kept on scratching his back and shuffling around, not to mention that he made up a few words that none of us understood.

I transformed into Articuno and Golbat was ordered to use Bite on me, but he missed and almost hit Arbok. I used this distraction and flew up to escape, but then I decided to fight these enemies so I used Blizzard on both of them, but only Golbat fainted. Arbok used Acid on me, but I wasn't poisoned, so I struck back with Ice Beam, finally getting rid of the pests.
I fought a few more easy-to-beat enemies, but by now my health was REALLY low. I needed to get healed BADLY! I decided to turn back to normal and just destroy every enemy I saw. NO MERCY!
My merciless rage didn't last too long, though. I had finished off half a dozen Pokémon when I saw Jesse, James and Meowth taking my group away! But they were on the other side, there wasn't any possible way to reach them on time! Oh no! They were stealing the trainer's Pokémon again as well as my comrades!
Unfortunately, the main room of the Pokécenter was still filled with trainers, Team Rocket members, and LOTS of Pokémon, making it almost impossible to get out. So how did the gang get out without me noticing before it was too late? That question wasn't important at the moment, so I started pushing through people and Pokémon to reach the exit.
I pushed and shoved through the riled up trainers and the grumpy Rocket members and the fighting Pokémon, and FINALLY I got through the humongous mob that seemed to take FOREVER to get past. After I exited, I looked around the small area and spotted a Pokémart. Since the Pokécenter wasn't exactly working, I'll have to go to the mart where it should be safe to use my potions.
I used one of my Max Potions and decided to buy a few of the limited quantities of lemonade that they had. The clerk was surprised to see a Pokémon that had money, but he didn't go into a commotion about it. The customers here stared at me until I told them to stop it, but one familiar one greeted me.
" Hi again! What are you doing down here?" said the voice, " I'm going to Pallet Town where I'll ride Magikarp down to Cinnabar Island." It was the trainer I met in Pewter City!
" I haven't been able to catch any Pokémon because Magikarp's only move is Splash it doesn't so ANYTHING so I can't weaken Pokémon! He's only at level 9!" he moaned.
I decided that we could have a chat. I asked him to sit down on the bench nearby and I told him about what had happened to his Pokémon, but it didn't make any real emotion change to him. Instead, he continued babbling about Magikarp.
I was sick of listening about Magikarp, so I said to him, " Stop whining! Take these two simple machines. One teaches Scratch and the other Quick Attack. Any Pokémon, including Magikarp can learn them and they will help you catch other Pokémon very much. It's my gift to you for all you have suffered." I handed the two machines I had to him and he was HAPPY! Immediately and anxiously he taught the two moves to Magikarp, who was very happy as well now that he could actually fight.
" Oh my Pokégod! I just can't stop thanking you! I wish that I could reward you somehow, but I don't have much stuff to give…" the trainer let it hang off.
" That's OK," I said, " I just want you to feel content. Oh, and you never told me your name yet!"
" It's Lordof Pokémon."
" WHAT?" I asked gawk-eyed.
" Hey, I got you there, didn't I?" said the trainer, laughing heartedly, " It's actually Rowdy. Rowdy!"
Rowdy. Hmmm, that a very nice name if you ask me!
I said good bye to the trainer and decided to look for my comrades. Where were they? I had to think about where the Team Rocket gang would go to besides the bade back in Pewter City that I had ransacked. I looked around the city to find any suspicious looking places, but how do you know if a place is suspicious looking?
I started going south of Viridian City and I found my comrades at last! But where was the gang? I asked Venusaur that question and he said that he and his friends beat up the gang and their Pokémon, which was the game thing I would've done if I were in their place. Phew! I almost thought that I would never see them again!
" Hey, what's that?" I spotted some metal object stuffed in the bushes! Pidgeot started walking towards it, but Venusaur stopped him.
" VENU! Venu Venu!" he shouted. He used the vines on his body and dug around a little bit in the bush and they came out coiling a trap that could hold a Snorlax! " Venu nu," he told Pidgeot, saying that it was OK to get the object. Then he flung the trap behind him so it was out of harm.
The object happened to be a HM which contained Explosive Array, and it can be taught to electric Pokémon and psychic Pokémon, like ME! But who's leave a valuable HM for bait? A rich trainer or a stupid one, no doubt. This machine was rather new, so it's very rare.
What does Explosive Array do? If you want to get rid of something tougher than a boulder, you can use this move to-uh, oops. Well, you can get rid of it, but unlike the Strength move this one completely makes the object into dust, which can harm opponents a lot, but it recoils back, which is the side effect.
After using the machine for myself, my comrades and I and I decided to use it for another good thing. I went into my scientist transformation and somehow got a lot of people's attention because of the HM. I said that I would trade or sell it for the best offer. Instantly a large crowd of people came sprinting up to us yelling out their birds and jabbering about the things they'd trade.
I heard an interesting offer about going around the entire island on a cruise for all of us, so I discussed it with them. The people were amazed at how well I could understand the Pokémon, and then I told them that I studied Pokémon, which made them less suspicious.
The cruise ship, called the St. Anne III, was located at Pallet Town, which is not far from here. Unfortunately, it was almost dark by then. We'll have to find a place to stay for the night.
November 19, 2047
The route to Pallet Town was filled with low-leveled Rattatas and Pidgeys, whom I Quick Attacked past. We found a Moon Stone on the other side of the route which Venusaur hacked past. Perhaps it will be useful later one.
Pallet Town was a very small and peaceful place, but it was famous for it's Pokédex technology and it is the homeland of the Great Master. My group wanted to go aboard the St. Anne immediately, but I wanted to visit the Prof. Here. I needed some information about this master.
Prof. Gary is the grandson of the famous Prof. Oak, who aided in the Great Master's journey. Unlike his grand-father, Gary was more interested in Pokémon than people, so when he saw me, he jumped up to greet me.
" Hey! Aren't you that Pokémon that escaped the new Cerulean Pokémon lab! Heh, heh!" said the person, " You mistook me for the prof?"
Suddenly he was throwing an Ultra Ball at me!! Boy, was he pathetic! I simply whipped it away and started walking away towards my comrades who were outside of the laboratory. The trainer sent out Alakazam, who instantly used Reflect. He's fast!
Since he was a psychic Pokémon, Confusion and Psychic wouldn't do much to it. Quickly, I decided to use Barrier. Alakazam used Psychic on me, but of course it didn't do much. I used Mega Punch, but he didn't get hit because he used Reflect again. He had wasted his turn, so I used Surf, making a critical hit. Yes!
" Alakazam! Teleport!" shouted the trainer. In a second the enemy disappeared. He'd hit me no matter what… unless…
Oh, ho! Now he can't reach me! The only possible attack that could work on the Fly move is Swift, but this Alakazam didn't have it! He didn't know that I had flown up and he missed his attack! I came down for revenge with another critical hit.
" No!" roared the trainer, " Alakazam, Recover!'
The Alakazam, who was sweating, tried using Recover, but it was too weak and it failed! I took this chance to attack him with Quick Attack, causing it to faint.
" Alakazam, return!" the trainer called the creature back into it's Pokéball. " Oh, I'm sorry!" the person wailed to me, " Please don't hurt me! Here! Take this!" he jammed a machine into my hands, pushing me back to the laboratory wall, " It's Softboiled. I was going to use it on a Chansey, but I can't catch any!" He darted out through the door to somewhere I don't really need to go to. He left a LARGE amount of money on the ground, and it was probably even more than I had before!
" PidGEOT!" my bird friend scolded. I had to explain to them what happened and that we got a TM, which made them much happier. Who said that Transform was a move only Ditto could do? And who said that Chansey is the only Pokémon who can use Softboiled! Hah! Don't forget Mew and Mewthree!
Soft Boiled is a move that is like Recover, but you can also use it outside of battle, and you can even use it to heal other Pokémon! This could be very useful! Hmm, I shouldn't be expressing this feeling, should I? NAH!
" Venu VENU!" Venusaur shouted. The ship!
" All aboard for Lavender!" the captain shouted.
We rushed onto the ship with myself in my scientist disguise and we found our room, which was close to the captain's cabin. After taking a short nap and talking a bit, we got bored and decided to look around the ship. Pidgeot and Vaporeon went one way and Venusaur and I went the other. I don't think that I would need a disguise.
A lot of the rooms here were unlocked, so we went into those places. In the first one there were two people fighting over which Charmander had the best tail. The second one had nothing in it except a bad, two chairs and a Hyper Potion that someone had left behind. Then the next one had a grumpy old gentleman that had fire Pokémon that wanted to battle with Venusaur and me, but my Surf move got rid of them. The gentleman had LOTS of money with them!
There was one room that had two people that a TM to anyone who beat them, so I decided to try it out. I watched them beat a few other trainers with their Vileplume, Dewgong, Rapidash, and Electabuzz. Venusaur could probably be only able to take out Dewgong since he was basically weak against all of the others.
When I stepped up to take the challenge, the trainers just laughed. They decided to send out Vileplume first. One of them shouted it to use Mega Drain, but I used Psychic on it and it instantly fainted.
" No!" shouted the trainer. He ordered his Pokémon back and took out another ball and smirked, " Hey, you're pretty good, but you're no match for Rapidash! GO!"
I tried to use Surf, but Rapidash, being a faster Pokémon, used Fire Spin on me and then hitting me against with Flame Thrower. Determined to win the battle, I wasted a turn to use Soft-Boiled. Rapidash tried using Fire Spin again, but missed, so I used Surf again, this time making it. The fire horse neighed and snorted in pain and I decided to finish him off with a Mega Punch.
" Impossible!" the trainer roared, calling Rapidash back, " Amy! It's YOUR turn to bust these guys!"
" Sure thing, John! Electabuzz, GO!" the girl said, sending her Pokémon out. Her Electabuzz was a VERY healthy one, but I still got rid of him easily, A couple of Metronomes and a Mega Punch made it faint. The female trainer was very amazed and sent out Dewgong. It's Venusaur's turn!
Dewgong started out with an Aurora Beam, but Venusaur couldn't dodge it. After the critical hit, Venusaur decided to hit back with a Razor Leaf attack. The Dewgong used and Ice Beam and Venusaur used Leech Seed. Actually, it was very interesting to see! Dewgong was seeded, but he could still attack, but the trainer used a Super potion on the water/ice creature anyhow.
Venusaur, who was slightly restores, used Razor Leaf once more and Dewgong used Strength. The seed sapped into Dewgong, and my comrade used Sleep Powder. The trainer used an Awakening and the seed sapped again. I cheered Venusaur on, so he finished Dewgong off with Cut.
" ARGH!" the female moaned, " We've been BEATEN!" She looked over at her partner, who nodded slowly and handed her a machine. " This TM contains Dig," she told us, " Use it to escape buildings or caves. It's also a very nice attack! It's your reward for doing a good job. Congratulations! You won!"
I used the machine and we proceeded on to the next room, A few of them were locked and many of the people had something better to do besides waiting for battles. There was one room that had several Max. Revives that was inside a bag. No one seemed to be occupying the room, so we took the items. After passing a few more trainers and finding some items, we decided to head back to our cabin.
Pidgeot and Vaporeon were already back, looking at the things that they had earned: 1 Max Potion, 1 Full Restore, 2 Full heals, and some money. Venusaur and I told about finding and they talked about theirs. They met a few trainers and misplaced item, just like we did.
The horn for dinnertime came quickly, so I changed into my scientist form and brought my friends with me to the meal room. The food was YUMMY! No, no, that's not the say I should describe it. I had eaten mainly one kind of food that was ivory colored and tasted like…like… well, it was yummy, and let's leave it at that.
Tonight my friends and I went to the deck of the ship to see the sunset. I went back to my original form and looked over. It was BEAUTIFUL! In fact, it was the first sunset I ever saw! I better not get into details, so I'll be going to sleep, but I'm having a hard time sleeping in these uncomfortable beds. They're a lot more different than the other ones I've slept in.
