Chapter One: Memories of the Island
Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, and Ultra all walked proudly towards the most north part of the Arachnid Island, where a large port would take them off the island and back to their homeland.
"I can't believe we're finally leaving!" cried Dee.
Jay nodded. "It does actually feel rather good to be leaving. I mean we've spent months here and I only earned two badges."
Agua sighed. "At least you earned something."
Jay shot a glance towards Agua. "What'd you say!"
"Nothing that concerns you," replied Agua.
"But Jay, didn't you like the other things you earned?" asked Dee. "The memories and the Pokémon you found here?"
Jay took a deep breath. "I guess so. But like what?"
* * * *
"Looks like your Pokémon are mine Jay." Teria smiled.
Fire Kat and Fire Star slowly headed towards Jay.
"This was easier than stealing Pokémon from Nick, Mike, Kelly, and those two old idiots Jesse and James." Fire Kat smiled happily.
Then, with a flash of light, Ultra teleported from the trap to in front of the two infernos cats.
"Oh no," moaned Fire Kat.
"Oh yes!" Jay smiled. "Ultra, stop those two now! ULTRA SHOCKER!"
"Ulll . . .TRA!" Electric Orb's electricity probably won't have been able to stop the inferno cats, but Ultra's mighty ultra shocker attack did.
"No!" cried Teria. "I've worked so hard!" He grabbed on Super Ball. "Fire Star, return! You can keep the dumb Fire Kat!" With a flash, as usual, Teria disappeared. And
behind the chair, lay the boxes.
* * * *
"Well I guess that's how we did earn my triple of eggs." Jay patted his backpack. "I can't wait until they hatch."
Dee waved her finger. "That wasn't the only thing that happened Jay!"
"Yeah! Hey, what about Jason? Wasn't he a big part of our adventures?" asked Dee.
Jay nodded. "Of course."
* * * *
Dee's Solar Orb hovered above the ground.
Jason's Ratoran Male hissed at the hovering ball of electricity.
"Solar Orb, agility-slam attack!" ordered Dee.
"Ratoran Male, hyper horn!" growled Jason.
Solar Orb shot as fast as it could at the odd mix between Rattata and Nidoran Male. Ratoran shot up at Solar Orb, head down with its horn point right at its challenger, but Solar Orb shot up into the air and slammed down onto Ratoran.
"Ratoran Male!" cried Jason as his poor Pokémon fell to the ground.
Suddenly, it began glowing. The trainer smiled.
"Now you've done it." Jason jumped up. "Ratoran Male still has a chance!"
Jay and Agua both said in unison, "That's a laugh."
Ultra nodded. "Ultra, tra ra."
"My Ratoran Male is evolving!" The trainer was right. Ratoran Male glowed and grew into a larger Super Pokémon. "Ratorino!"
* * * *
"Well there was him," said Jay.
Agua sighed. "Jay, just not one for the memories."
Dee shook her head. "What about your final battle with Agatha, and earning your Ghostly Badge, that is that another useless memory.
"Not really," said Jay. He smiled and pulled out his Ghostly Badge. "It's a badge, and badges are always worth the memories!"
* * * *
"Psyghost, metronome!" cried Jay.
Psyghost's eyes ticked back and forth like a metronome on a clock and suddenly it was ready for any attack its trainer would give him.
"Psyghost, ultimate shocker!" shouted Jay.
{Quickly Feargost agility.}
Psyghost's shot electricity from its body and up at the speedy Feargost, but to the bird's surprise the electricity was following it.
{No!} cried Agatha.
The electricity hit Feargost and hit it hard. The bird fell speedily to the ground.
Jay smirked. "Seems Feargost is speedy, but its defense is pretty weak. Psyghost, psyblast attack."
{Forgive me Feargost,} whispered Psyghost. Psywaves surrounded Psyghost once more and the shot at Feargost creating an explosion.
* * * *
Jay smiled. "What a battle!"
Chapter Two: The Happy Memories and the Sad Ones
"Yep, what a battle!" cried Jay.
"And of course there was our many adventures with Auqias and Auqtrias." Dee smiled. "I'm mainly proud of Artic fighting Auqtrias."
* * * *
"Come on Artic, think hard! Use your ice attacks!" ordered Dee.
Artic nodded, quickly using its arctic freeze to stop Auqtrias in its path, but it didn't work. The water bird was too powerful.
Think Dee, think, thought Dee to herself. What is the one thing that has to stop this other bird Pokémon?
It had suddenly dawned to her.
"I know how to stop Auqtrias! Use your one-hit KO attack Artic!" shouted Dee. "Use frost bite!"
Artic quickly began its frost bite attack. Quickly spinning around Auqtrias, Artic spread ice around the bird to freeze it. But with a surprise, the spinning sped up, and as you saw Artic fly by, he was growing.
"What's happening to Artic?" asked Agua.
"I dunno," replied Dee flatly.
When Auqtrias was completely frozen, Artic shot up above the frozen bird- But it wasn't Artic anymore. It was:
"Articuno!" shouted Dee, Jay, and Agua.
* * * *
"It was a grand day," murmured Dee. "But it didn't last . . ."
* * * *
After their wild ride, Dee had passed out. As she awoke, she could feel a large ice-cold wing around here. It was probably Articuno.
"Ugh," she moaned. She opened her eyes, and as she tried to get up, she slowly realized that she was pinned to the ground.
"Articuno, release me now," growled Dee. "This is not funny."
But slowly did Dee notice that it wasn't Articuno holding her.
As Dee peered around, she noticed Auqtrias, with Jay and Ultra in its wings, while Team Rocket's sub was behind them. They were in a large, underwater cave. And it wasn't the most friendly-looking place to be. In the corner, the far corner, she could see Articuno laying their helpless.
As Dee tried to squirm free, but it wasn't working. Then, she looked up angrily at her Pokémon and growled, "Articuno, let go now!"
The bird Pokémon looked down. It was then when Dee figured out it wasn't Articuno lying there. But in the corner, in the far corner, she could see Articuno laying their helpless. Which meant, the Pokémon that Dee lay under wasn't her Pokémon. It was Auqias. They were trapped.
* * * *
"Always thinking of a positive note," murmured Jay.
"Well it's true! We managed to stop them, didn't we? Even their big, ole, Dragonite," said Dee.
Jay took a deep breath. "And then, the night finally came. When we finally stopped the birds, and the rain ended."
Chapter Three: A Happy Ending
Misty looked up into the crowd. "Now, will a Jay Barial step forward and order his Ultra to psytoss the birds into the screen."
Jay was completely thrown off guard. He smiled brightly and rushed down to the front of the crowd. "Ultra!" he shouted across the sea. "Psytoss them now!"
Ultra must have heard him because soon it started to toss Auqias and Auqtrias around, hitting them off and on through the smoke screen and into the thunder shield.
"Now, all electric Pokémon, thunderwave!" shouted Misty. "Paralyze those things!" She turned towards Ash and said, "It's all up to you Ash."
Ash nodded and took command again. "Everybody out of the way, we can't let you people get injured by Auqias and Auqtrias!"
The crowd of people all ran away from meeting spot when suddenly there was a flash of electricity out at sea and the two water birds screeched in pain. They went straight into the screens, knocking out the thunder shield and cause the smoke and the fire to combine and explode in their faces. As a finale, Auqias and Auqtrias shattered through the light screen.
The two birds crashed into the ground below.
* * * *
"Ah yes, when the night finally came and we finally stopped them." Dee took a deep breath. "And then of course there was when we received Fire Orb and Auqtrias!"
* * * *
"Dee, from what I've heard you're a powerful trainer," said Ash. "You collect rare bird Super Pokémon, and I know you've already caught Artic, Psybird, and Feargost. I would like to award you that. But be warned, do not bring out all the rare bird Pokémon in one area or chaos will break loose. But I trust you, so I give you this." Ash handed Dee a Super Ball. "I give you Auqtrias, the rare bird Super Pokémon of the waters."
Dee smiled brightly. "Really! Yeah!" She jumped up happily. "I have Auqtrias, the bird of the waters." She gave the peace sign, then stuck her tongue out at Jay. "I got a new Pokémon, the rare bird Auqtrias, yeah!"
Jay shook his head and sighed. "I worry about her sometimes."
"Now, Jay, please come up here too," said Ash.
Jay got up from his seat, with Ultra by his side, and walked back up onto the stage.
"Jay, I know you have worked hard and I know there's something special about your Ultra," explained Ash. "I know that for sure. So, I would like to award you with a special Fire Orb."
* * * *
Jay moaned. "Yeah, except you got Fire Orb!"
Dee nodded. "But you know you captured Pokémon of your own, and you earned another badge. The Arachnid Badge!"
* * * *
"Scorpidox, double vice grip," commanded Rick.
Jay gave a wink. "Sorry Rick. Alright Stung, harden now then dive for a twin needle attack!" He smirked. "Glad he didn't forget that attack."
A shiny invisible coat covered Stung, then it dived down, holding out its two stingers, aiming at Scorpidox.
Scorpidox leaped into the air and its claw snapped shut on Stung's stinger. To Scorpidox's surprise there was a crunching sound coming from its claws. They had cracked instead of Stung's stinger.
Taking advantage of the stunned Scorpidox, Stung pushed its stingers into the scorpion's claws.
"Psytoss now!" shouted Jay.
Scorpidox started to glow, and it was swung back and forth against the walls of the gym.
"Now, finish it off, sleep powder!" ordered Jay.
Bluish powdered poured from Stung's wings. The powder knocked out Scorpidox really quickly ending the battle.
* * * *
Jay took a deep breath. "Oh, how I love the memories."
There was a snort from behind them. "So, what are you three doing here?"
Chapter Four: The Fight Against the Rival
"Blake!" cried Jay. "Wha-what are you doing here?"
Blake shrugged. "Hoping to get off this rock, that's all. This Arachnid Island is way too small. Besides, there's only one gym badge here!"
Jay shook his head. "No . . . there's two gym badges."
"No, there was two gym badges here, the other was the Ghostly Badge," said Blake. "But that gym was torn down years ago, when the gym leader, Agatha, died."
Jay gave a small smile. "Or so they think."
"Anyway, let's battle. See if your Pokémon got any stronger since Auqias and Auqtrias," growled Blake.
Jay gave a proud smile. "Of course they have!" He pointed to the Super and Poké Balls on his belt. "I have some new ones to."
Blake laughed. He took a couple of steps back then selected a Super Ball. "I choose, Electric Orb!" He threw the Super Ball, and out appeared a familiar Pokémon.
Jay nodded. "Let's see here." He fished around in his pocket. "Woolie, I choose you!" He threw the Super Ball towards the ground and out of the ball appeared:
"Wing Ger!" squawked Jay's bird Pokémon.
He flinched. "I guess I have the wrong Super Ball or something. Oh well. Winger, go! Razor wing, now!"
"Winger against my Electric Orb? This isn't a match," laughed Blake. "Electric Orb, thundershock!"
The evolved Orb made fully of electricity, sent a small shock at Winger, and the bird fell quickly to the ground.
Jay sighed. "It was a simple mistake. Winger, return!" He held out Winger's Super Ball and it was recalled. He quickly selected the Pokémon he had originally wanted to choose. "Woolie, I choose you!" He threw the Super Ball to the ground out of the ball appeared:
"Wool!" growled the five-armed Woolie.
Blake gave a laugh. "A five-armed Pokémon-doll! Now there's something you don't see everyday. My Electric Orb will give it a good shocking. Electric Orb, ultimate shocker now!"
Jay smiled. "Give Woolie you best shot! Woolie, focus energy!"
Electric Orb charged up, making even the skies give flashes of lightning, and suddenly Electric Orb released its ultimate electric attack. But when the shock hit Woolie, the doll Pokémon absorbed the electric energy.
Blake frowned. "What happened? Where did Electric Orb's ultimate shocker go?"
Jay smirked. "You'll see. Woolie, triple punch!"
Leaping, with its right side facing towards Electric Orb, Jay's Woolie punched Electric Orb with its three right arms. As the punches impacted Electric Orb, it gave a mighty shock, which paralyzed Electric Orb, so it fell to the ground.
Blake smiled. "Your Woolie is strong. Electric Orb, return!" He quickly recalled Woolie then selected another Super Ball. "I choose you! Go Flamed!" He threw the Super Ball up into the air and out of it appeared the deadly dragon Pokémon.
"Woolie, string shot now! Give it the last of your electric charge!" shouted Jay.
"Flamed, ember attack," said Blake.
"Flame!" Flamed shot fire from its mouth and it quickly hit Woolie. Woolie ignited in flames and ran around in terror.
Jay moaned. "Woolie, return!"
Chapter Five: The Fight for the Right of a Trainer
"Your Flamed will fall at the sight of an water Pokémon! Go, Wurm!" Jay threw a Super Ball and out popped his serpent Pokémon.
Agua frowned, and shouted from the sidelines. "Water Pokémon without the water is a bad idea here Jay!"
Jay shrugged. "You remember what happened last time though. I beat up that Charizard all the way up into the sky."
Blake laughed. "This should be funny. I can't wait until you realize it. Flamed, stomp attack!"
Jay smiled. "Wurm, stop Flamed now! Wrap attack!"
Wurm leaped towards Flamed's leg, but instead Wurm missed on got underneath Flamed's foot, just as Flamed prepared for its stomp attack.
"Putty in my hands," laughed Blake.
Flamed stomped Wurm, crashing the poor dragon.
"Another stomp!" growled Blake.
Jay moaned. He didn't know what to do. Then: "Alright Wurm, dig underground, now!"
As Flamed raised its foot, Wurm quickly dug underground and Flamed its foot down onto the ground, injuring itself.
Blake frowned. "Where'd Wurm go? Oh well, it won't be able to use dig if Flamed's up in the air. Flamed, fly up!"
Flamed flapped its wings and flew up into the air.
Jay sighed. "Wurm, pop your head through a hole and use your water cannon!"
"Send it back with a whirlwind," commanded Blake.
Wurm's head popped up from the ground and it shot a blast of water at Flamed. But the water wasn't injuring the giant dragon Pokémon. It dawned to Jay that Flamed was a water type too. Then, Flamed flapped its wings, creating a deadly whirlwind and sending the water back down Wurm's hole slamming the serpent down into the ground.
Jay moaned. "Wurm, return!" He, again, selected another Super Ball. "Let's see how you do against this. Go, Electric Orb!" He threw the Super Ball upwards and out appeared the bright, sparking, Electric Orb.
Blake smirked. "So you have an Electric Orb. Intersting. Flamed, double-edge attack! Smack that Electric Orb."
"Electric Orb, thunderbolt!" growled Jay.
Electric Orb automatically charged up for an attack and shocked the living daylights out of Flamed, before it even moved. The large dragon Pokémon fell to the ground with a mighty thud.
"I thought that might happen," said Blake. "Flamed, return." Blake recalled then selected a Super Ball faster than Jay could see. "You think you're good. Think again. Go, Rayushi." He threw the Super Ball containing his, store bought, Super Pokémon.
Jay laughed. "Electric Orb, thundershock! We can easily know out that ice Pokémon!"
Blake shrugged. "Or will you. Stop the shock with your vines Rayushi."
Electric Orb immediately sent a small shock towards Rayushi, but its fast vines hit the bolts and Rayushi was unaffected.
Blake smiled. "Maybe you'll have more of a problem than you thought Jay."
Chapter Six: A Rocky Battle
"If you haven't realized, only the internal part of Rayushi has ice and its ice-plant on its back. Besides that, Rayushi isn't harmed by electricity. You should really study a bit more Barial!" Blake laughed evilly, being proud he was extremely smart with handing Pokémon.
Jay reddened. "Oh yeah! Well I will fight you until the end Blake! Electric Orb, swift attack!"
Electric Orb began spinning around in a circle, and releasing stars as he went. But, Rayushi's vines whipped the stars, not even harming it.
Jay moaned. "Alright then, Electric Orb, double team-swift attack!"
Suddenly, there seemed to be tons of Electric Orb circling around Rayushi, each hurling stars at Rayushi. At first the ice/plant Pokémon had whipped away acouple of the stars, but there were so many they were overwhelming Rayushi and Electric Orb's double team was confusing it so much, it began to lose.
"Now Electric Orb, slam down on the ice-plant!" shouted Jay.
Electric Orb stopped spinning and slammed into Rayushi's ice plant. With a loud crack the plant cracked and Rayushi fell to the ground.
"Rayushi, return." Blake quickly recalled Rayushi from the battle. "You think you're so good Jay. Just you wait." He summoned another Super Ball. "I choose you, Rocked!" Out of the Super Ball appeared a giant rock Pokémon, with numerous arms, legs, and an extremely large rock-shell.
Jay frowned. "Heh . . . now why did you go and choose that Rocked against my Electric Orb. What exactly is that anyway?" He held out his Pokédex.
"Rocked, a boulder Pokémon," answered Jay's 'dex. "It's multiple arms and legs sever as a very important purpose. Without them, Rocked wouldn't be able to use its ultimate attack, which not all Rocked can learn."
"Rocked, use your rock slam attack," growled Blake.
"Electric Orb, evade! Use an agility attack!" cried Jay.
"Rocked," growled Rocked in a low, deep, voice. It leaped up into the air, attempting to slam into Electric Orb, but it missed, slamming into a rock and smashing it in two.
Jay gasped. "Ew, that can't be good."
Rocked got up, looking as if it hadn't been harmed at all.
"Just because it's missing a few slams, doesn't mean it's weakening," said Blake. "So, Rocked, use the 'speed up' move I taught you and use a rock slam again!"
Suddenly, Rocked withdrew into its rock-hard shell.
"Elect?" wondered Electric Orb.
"I dunno what happened," said Jay. "It's obviously using its withdraw attack. Now Electric Orb, power slam!"
"Tric!" Electric Orb was glowing a pink color as it charged up. Suddenly it, it went full force at Rocked and slammed into Rocked.
"Elect! Elect! Elect!" cried Electric Orb. The slam had injured it more than Rocked. All the rock Pokémon was doing now was rolling around.
"Now Rocked, aerial rock slam, now!" shouted Blake.
Rocked rolled up a bent tree, making a little ramp that went backwards, and became airborne. The following Electric Orb was now at the mercy of Rocked. Rocked slammed down onto Electric Orb with a deadly blow.
"Electric Orb!" cried Jay.
"Rocked, finish it off! Tackle attack," said Blake. "There's no way to win Jay."
"There may not be a way to win, but I can sure tie it!" cried Jay. "Electric Orb, big explosion!"
"Rick," moaned Electric Orb. It started glowing again and as Rocked moved closer, the evolved Orb exploded in a fury.
****WHO'S THAT POKéMON: ORKECD?****
Chapter Seven: Jay and Blake's Final Battle
On the Arachnid Island
****IT'S ROCKED! "Rock!!"****
Blake glared. "I don't have time for this. Last round." He selected his last Super Ball. "I choose you, Venustoise!" Out of Blake's Super Ball appeared his very first Super Pokémon, Venustoise.
"Oise!" growled Venustoise.
Jay rolled his eyes. "This is too easy! Ultra, let's go!"
Ultra rushed forward. "Ultra, tra, ultra ra!"
Blake sighed. "I'll tell you this for your own good: Get your Ultra to evolve soon or it won't be strong enough to compete in the Pokémon League Games." Blake shrugged. "But of course you won't listen because you're just too stubborn. Venustoise, freeze whip!"
"Ultra, agility now!" commanded Jay.
Around six vines whipped out from Venustoise's plant on its back. The vines, with frozen, blue ends, shot towards Ultra, but its agility move kept him from behind hit.
"Face you, it won't be able to beat Ultra!" said Jay. "Ultra, ultra shocker, now!"
Blake sighed. "Without evolving it, Ultra won't learn its ultimate attack: Ultimate shocker. I'm telling you, you're making a mistake. Venustoise, leaf shield!"
Leaves shot from Venustoise's back, creating a shield of leaves. When the electricity hit it, Venustoise was unharmed.
Jay frowned. "I hate that Venustoise."
Blake nodded. "I'm sure you do. Venustoise, leaf rain!"
"Ultra, slam!" commanded Jay.
"Stoise!" Venustoise released leaves from its back that when up into the skies. Meanwhile, Ultra jumped into the air and slammed into Venustoise. The impact hurt Ultra more than Venustoise.
Suddenly, Venustoise's leaves shot down like rain, hitting Ultra, slicing the poor Pokémon.
Jay glared. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. "Of course. Venustoise is harmed by psychic attacks. Ultra, psyblast!"
Blake's eyes widened. "No, not the psyblast attack. Venustoise, leaf storm!"
Leaves from Venustoise's back shot up into the sky again, but before they could rain down onto Ultra, Ultra send an enormous blast of psychic waves around the whole area, harming Venustoise and its leaves up in the sky.
Blake frowned. "Venustoise, return." He sighed. "It was just luck Jay, but I hope we meet again soon, you know, back home." He walked off. "I hope you guys have enough money to get back home . . . heh!"
Jay suddenly flinched. "Who here has some money?"
Agua and Dee both shrugged.
Jay frowned. "So, we're trapped here unless we have some money."
Dee sighed. "It appears so. I guess there might be a cheaper way to get home. Let's go to the Pokémon Center and ask the nurse."
* * * *
The nurse nodded. "All of your Pokémon are fighting fit. Thank you for stopping by at the Pokémon Center."
Agua smiled. "It's no big deal really."
They had decided to heal their Pokémon before asking any questions. Dee and Agua knew Jay would forget about healing his Pokémon and already head on out towards wherever they were going.
"Oh, we do have one question though," said Dee. "I don't suppose you, um, I dunno, know a place where we could find a cheap boat to get back to the other land. Like, near Current City."
The nurse smiled. "Are you three from the AngelFire crash? The one from Current City to Egg Town?"
They nodded.
"Well then, I believe you can go on a free ride back," said the nurse. She pointed to a poster. "As you can seem, it says the unfortunate members of the ship who are stranded here on the island can have a free boat ride back with the AngelFire's sister ship, the Devil's Fire. They are leaving tomorrow."
Agua wrinkled her nose. "The Devil's Fire? I think I like the AngelFire a bit better."
"Where is the Devil's Fire leaving?" asked Dee.
The nurse answered, "On the first of the Eight Leg Piers."
Jay pulled out his Pokédex. "Alright 'dex, what's with this Eight Leg Piers place?"
An image of the Arachnid Island, in the shape of a spider, was pulled up. There, the "legs" were glowing. "The Eight Leg Piers. Because of its shape, these eight piers were titled this also because of their location. Cheap boats come to some of these more often than the one up in Wolf Spider City. The first of the piers is the top right one."
Jay jumped with joy. "Yeah! Then we're off to the Eight Leg Piers."
Chapter Eight: Welcome to the Devil's Fire
Winger, Fearow, Articuno, and Sky High all flew towards the first of the Eight Piers. Dee, on Articuno, led to way while Jay, on his Winger, Agua, on Dee's Fearow, and Fire Orb and Ultra, on Dee's Sky High, took the rear. As half of the Eight Leg Piers (Piers 1, 3, 5, and 7) where within walked distance Dee told the others to land their Pokémon.
The three birds landed right outside of the entrances to the towns that led to the piers.
"Return!" said Jay and Dee in unison.
Agua took a deep breath. "Ah, afternoon air! It's such a great day!"
Jay rolled his eyes. "The only reason you are happy is because we can leave the Arachnid Island and get back home."
Agua shrugged. "What's your point?"
"Come on," said Dee. She led the way into the Unos Town, the town the led to the first pier.
* * * *
It was the never day, finally. The crew was ready to depart off on another ship to take them home. Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, and Ultra all walked boldly towards the ship that would be taking them home.
Over the PA, the announcer spoke, "All passengers from the recent AngelFire crash that are now board the Devil's Fire on a trip from the Arachnid Island to Cyber City, please board now."
"That's us!" said Jay. "Let's go!"
The five-some walked along the path to the Devil's Fire. As they head closer and closer to the ship, the similarity to the AngelFire increased.
Agua moaned. "I have a sinking feeling this ship. It's too much like our last cruise, if you ask me."
"Well we didn't," Jay sneered. "I'll make the captain note not to let out any giant Pokémon if that'll make you feel better Agua."
Dee rolled her eyes. "Just like children."
* * * *
"Food!" was the first thing Jay and Agua cried when they stepped aboard the Devil's Fire. It was similar to a party with tons and tons of food all around.
Dee moaned. "Is that the only thing you two think about these days?"
"Fire, fire, fire orb, orb!" agreed Fire Orb.
"Uh huh! Uh huh!" said the duo.
"Ultra, ultra, ra," muttered Ultra.
"Orb," agreed Fire Orb.
"Yup." Dee smirked. "Those two are made for each other.
A waiter came up to them. "Would you three trainers and your Pokémon like to head to your rooms?"
"Sure," said Dee. But before she knew, Jay and Dee were lost in the crowd. She smiled. "I'll inform my friends where our room is later."
* * * *
In the "haul" of the cruise ship, Devil's Fire, Mike, Nick, Kelly, and Fire Kat all awaited an important message from their boss, Teria, from their little computer.
Teria's image popped up on the screen, with Fire Kat sitting next to him. "Mike, Nick, Kelly, and of course Fire Kat, I do not want you two to mess this one up. I have others here to help you out along the way."
Mike shook his head. "We really don't need that much help."
"Oh, yes you do," said Teria. "We will lure all the Pokémon into our 'center' and then hold all the passengers captive."
Fire Kat smiled. "Sounds like a plan to me!"
"It'll be perfect!" said Nick.
"Yes it will," said Kelly. "Think about it. Fire Orb and Ultra should be on this ship, and there's no way off but the sea. Teria's a genius."
"Quit sucking up," growled Teria. "Do not mess this one up."
Chapter Nine: Party Time on the Devil's Fire!
"I'm . . . *munch-munch* and so . . . *munch-munch* hungry!" cried Jay as he hungrily ate the foot the Devil's Fire was providing them.
"Me too!" cried Agua.
"Ultra, ultra!" trilled Ultra.
Dee and Fire Orb walked over to the pigging-out-trio. "Hey guys, what's up?"
"Food!" Jay and Agua all cried out at once.
"Ra!" agreed Ultra.
Dee sighed. "Should I be surprised?"
"No!" Jay and Agua chanted.
"Ra!" agreed Ultra.
"Some people will never change," she murmured. "Jay, Agua, did you two tell the captain about the weight limit?"
"He probably already knows," said Jay, stuffing his mouth with food.
Dee frowned. "You guys are risking sinking just because you guys are hungry! How utterly pitiful."
The PA aboard the ship announced, "Due to weight limit, all Pokémon must be placed in Poké Balls or Super Balls and delivered to the ship's Pokémon Center."
"Fire, fire," moaned Fire Orb.
"Ultra, tra ra," murmured Ultra.
Jay shook his head. "Of course Dee and I aren't going to put you guys back in your balls. We'll just have to have a talk with the ship's captain now won't we." Suddenly, a waiter with more food came by and placed the food on the table. "After I finish that plate!"
* * * *
Jay and Dee didn't end up bring Ultra and Fire Orb to the Pokémon Center. After their meal, Jay, Agua, and Ultra decided now was the best time to take a nap. Dee had some planning to do when they got to Cyber City, so she didn't bring her Fire Orb to the Pokémon Center either.
Jay, Agua, and Ultra were, rudely, awakened by the PA an hour later. "All personal, please report to the main part of the ship for a short briefing upon our arrival. Thank you."
Jay moaned. "Five . . . more . . . minutes."
"Fire Orb!" commanded Dee
"Fire!" Fire Orb shot its flamethrower out at Jay, Agua, and Ultra automatically awakening the trio.
Dee smiled. She quickly selected Fearow who blew out the flaming trio. "Next time get up."
"Gosh, women these days are just so demanding!" cried Jay.
* * * *
A sleepy Jay, a sleepy Agua, a sleepy Ultra, an annoyed Dee, and an annoyed Fire Orb all walked up to the main part of the ship for this "briefing".
A main group of people stood in the center of the room. It was a trio of human.
Jay yawned. "I'm glad I'm awake to see this. But please, come on, did I really have to wake up to see this?"
Over the PA, one of the members of the trio in the middle said, "Now that all your Pokémon are in the center, the crew is ordering you to all return to your cabins. And if not you'll answer to us."
"And who exactly is 'us'?" shouted Jay.
Suddenly, from the upper part of the ship, Dee saw the ever so familiar Fire Kat pacing back and forth.
She shouted, "It's looks like trouble! Everyone run!"
Chapter Ten: Party Time Bummers
"Trouble?" repeated the two of the people standing in the center of the main part of the ship. "Make that double, double!"
"To protect the world from devastation," said the other person standing in the center.
"To bind all bad guys within our nation," said the Fire Kat from above.
"To announce the evils of truth and love," said the first person.
"To extend our reach to the stars above," said the said the second person again.
"Mike."
"Nick."
"And Kelly."
"Fiiiiiire Kat, that's right!" The Fire Kat leaped down from above.
"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light," said Kelly.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight," began Fire Kat.
"All of us!" said Team Rocket.
Jay sighed. "It just figures Team Rocket would hop aboard our ship."
Kelly glared at Jay. "Listen, Barial, this is our ship and our trap. And all you've down is fallen into it! So now, I'd like to have a Pokémon match. No, wait, you don't have any of your Pokémon because you stored them in our 'Pokémon Center'!"
Jay shook his head. "I didn't. Isn't that right Ultra?"
"Ultra!" Ultra stepped out next to Jay.
"Neither did we!" Dee and Agua said in unison. Fire Orb hovered over the two.
Kelly sighed. "Looks like we will be having a match after all!" Kelly selected a Super Ball. "For a change of plan, I challenge Dee."
Jay and Agua turned towards their gym-leader friend.
"Me!" cried Dee.
"Two Pokémon!" said Kelly.
Dee nodded. "You got it!"
"Go, Alakazam!" Kelly threw a Poké Ball into the crowd and out of it appeared a large, psychic, Pokémon.
Dee smirked. "Psychic Pokémon against psychic Pokémon! Go, Psybird!" She threw a Super Ball into the air and revealed a large psychic-bird Pokémon.
"Everyone, clear the floor!" commanded Jay. Jay and Agua got the crowd out of the way of Alakazam and Psybird's battles.
"Psybird, swift attack!" ordered Dee.
"Alakazam, reflect!" commanded Kelly.
Alakazam held out his hand and when Psybird sent the small stars towards it, the stars turned around and went back towards Psybird. The stars hit Psybird hard.
Kelly began sniffling and crying. "A . . . a . . . Alakazam is finally listening to me! I love my Pokémon."
"Psybird!" cried Dee. "Don't give in! Psybird, quick attack!"
"Alakazam, teleport!" ordered Kelly.
Psybird went full speed towards Alakazam, but the psychic Pokémon swiftly teleported away. The psychic bird slammed into the boat, beginning to tip it a little bit.
"Alakazam, delayed psychic!" Kelly winked. "The boss sent me a special technical machine!"
Alakazam started glowing showing that it was powering up.
"Psybird, talon strike!" ordered Dee.
"Barrier!" ordered Kelly.
Alakazam held out his hand and a strange light screen appeared in front of him. When Psybird shot in front of Alakazam, its talons sunk into the barrier.
"Psytoss!" commanded Kelly.
Alakazam used its psychic powers to slammed Psybird up and down, with its psychic powers.
"Psybird!" cried Dee.
"Now, finish it off with your delayed psychic!" ordered Kelly.
"Kazam!" Alakazam's eyes turned to a bright blue and sent a psychic blast at Psybird sending it flying against the ship.
Chapter Eleven: A Disobedient Pokémon
"Psybird, return!" ordered Dee. She quickly recalled Psybird's Super Ball before the ship tipped over.
Kelly smiled. "My Alakazam's unstoppable!"
Dee frowned. "Fine then. Go, Fearow!" She threw another Super Ball into the air and out of it appeared Fearow.
"Ha, a little Fearow isn't even worth our time," said Kelly. "Alakazam, psyblast!"
"Fearow, agility!" commanded Dee.
Fearow used its agility to fly as fast as it could towards Alakazam.
"Now, talon strike!" commanded Dee.
"Fear!" growled Fearow. It sunk its claw-like talons into Alakazam.
"Kazam!" cried Alakazam. Its eyes flared an angry red. Alakazam quickly spun around and gave Kelly its psyblast.
Jay held up his Pokédex in confusion. "Most Pokémon who don't listen to their trainers will only put up a fight with Pokémon with more power or a tough Pokémon with the same level."
"I should make Flamed against a Charizard someday," Jay murmured.
"Stupid Alakazam! Return!" ordered Kelly. She recalled her psychic Pokémon then selected her poison Super Pokémon. "Ratoran, female!" Kelly threw the Super Ball onto the ground a revealed the smaller, weaker Pokémon.
"Row?" wondered Fearow.
"That is Fearow's 'challenge'?" Dee asked.
"Ratoran, slash!" commanded Kelly.
Ratoran swiftly leaped into the air slashed at Fearow's wing. To Dee's surprise, Fearow seemed somewhat injured.
"Row!" screeched Fearow. The bird's eyes turned a dark red. It did its wing attack sending Ratoran across the room.
Ratoran, surprisingly, managed to recover from the toss. She stood up on all four feet, then gave an angry screech as she stood on her hind legs. Then, Ratoran female began glowing.
Jay moaned. "Another evolution. It's evolving into Ratorina."
The poison-rat grew into a larger, purple-bluish poison-rat.
"You never get tired . . . tired of the classic poison Pokémon," muttered Agua.
"Ratorina, jump kick!" ordered Kelly.
"Rat!" Ratorina jumped into the air and kicked the bird upward towards the roof, but it recovered and started flying back towards Ratorina.
"Quick attack!" ordered Dee.
Fearow dived down, but Ratorina moved out of the way with a double team attack. Fearow smashed through the floor and into the haul.
"Dee, this battle is destroying the boat!" growled Jay.
"That may be the only way to save these people. Besides" – Dee gave Jay and Agua a wink – "I have friends in wet and high places."
Jay and Agua both gave Dee a very confused look.
"Ratorina, finish it off!" commanded Kelly. "Fury swipes, now!"
But to Ratorina didn't use a fury swipe attack. All it did was yawn, close its eyes, and rest.
Kelly moaned. "Now Ratorina won't even listen to me. Ratorina, return!"
Chapter Twelve: Bye-Bye Devil's Fire
"Now that I've lost, I guess there's only one thing for me to do," said Kelly. She sighed, looked down, and then raised her arm. "Team Rocket, attack!"
Dee's eyes widened.
From the crowd, Team Rocket members all appeared and held up these strange guns. They were some sort of air-suction machines to take peoples Poké and Super Balls.
Dee glared. "Fearow return!" She quickly recalled her bird.
"We can't stay on this ship long. It's gonna sink," said Jay.
"And if we stay anyway, Team Rocket will take our Pokémon," said Agua.
Dee smirked. "That's where I come in." Then she murmured, "Ash I sure hope you returned it to the sea." She selected on very special Super Ball that Ash had given her after the great flood. "Alright, Auqtrias go!" She threw the Super Ball into the air and out of it appeared the mighty water bird, Auqtrias.
"Auqtrias? Why did you choose him? He's only going to take up space. That is probably the number one bad idea right now," explained Jay.
"You'll see," said Dee. "Auqtrias, flew out of the boat." Then, she shouted, "Everyone! Hang on to something!"
Auqtrias shot straight up through the roof and into the sky.
"Dee, what are you doing?" growled Agua.
"Everyone, go outside! Water Pokémon and flying Pokémon should be coming to pick us up! Let's go!" shouted Dee.
Everyone started leaving the main deck of the ship and headed outside. The only people that were left were all Team Rocket members.
"Hey! Where'd everyone go! Wait!" shouted Kelly.
* * * *
"Auqtrias, find Auqias and tell him to call his water friends and flying friends, now!" shouted Dee.
"Fire, fire!" shouted Fire Orb.
"Ult tra, tra!" agreed Ultra.
Auqtrias shot into the sky, within a minute, Auqtrias and Auqias had returned and hundreds of water Pokémon began surfacing.
Jay poked Agua. "Hey, water-lady, this is your cue."
Dee nodded. "You've got the Pokémon Agua."
She smiled. "I know." She selected threw Super Balls into the sea. "Diver, Whirlpool, Gyaronix, go!" Out appeared her threw, controllable, water Pokémon.
Then, from the sky, Fearow, Pidgeot, Winger, and many other Pokémon dropped from the sky.
Soon, everyone on the ship, except for the Rockets, was safely aboard water Pokémon.
"Let's go people!" ordered Dee. She and Fire sat on the next of Auqtrias, with Jay and Ultra on Winger to the right of her and Auqias to the left of her in the air and Agua on Gyaronix below them. "Follow us!"
"Not so fast!" growled four familiar voices. "You aren't leaving yet!" From out of the sea appeared a familiar Gyarados-sub.
"Ugh, you'd think Team Rocket would be giving up by now," growled Dee.
Agua smiled. "The seas my ground Dee. Gyaronix, do your stuff!"
Chapter Thirteen: Battle for a Return Home
"Gyaronix, smash that sub, now!" ordered Agua.
"Maybe I'll help, you know, just a bit." Dee nodded. "Alright Auqtrias, Auqias, whirlwind."
* * * *
Inside the Gyarados-sub, Kelly glared at her enemies. "That stupid bird-trainer is going to sink the sub."
"Not this Gyarados-sub," Fire Kat sneered. "Teria armed it with a new shielding."
Mike nodded. "You mean the button that says 'Reflect', right?"
"Yup!" said Fire Kat.
Nick quickly bunched the "Reflect" button.
* * * *
Agua's Gyaronix went full speed towards the sub, but several feet in front of their ship . . .
THUD!
"Ugh," moaned Agua. She shouted towards Dee, "Don't bother! They have some sort of shield!"
"Then you'll have to use Whirlpool or Diver!" said Dee.
"I can handle them, send everyone away from the sub!" shouted Agua.
"Okay! Everyone, follow me!" ordered Jay. Jay and Ultra, on Winger, swooped down and shot forward.
Luckily for Agua, nobody had occupied Whirlpool or Diver, so they were both available.
"Whirlpool, Diver, together, water wave!" ordered Agua.
Whirlpool and Diver formed a large wave and headed straight towards the Gyarados-sub. But then, the sub shot missiles out at the two Pokémon hurting Whirlpool but now Diver.
"Whirlpool!" cried Agua. She held out the Super Ball. "Whirlpool, return!" She quickly recalled the water-sack Pokémon and thought of what else she could do. Gyarados was her only other water Pokémon left, besides the other Pokémon she had, Ice Orb, Butterfree, and Willie.
"Diver, you're my best bet! Diver, body slam!" ordered Agua.
Diver raised itself into the air but it couldn't slam itself through the shields.
Agua moaned. "I need a stronger Pokémon! Arg!"
Then, suddenly, Diver went underwater.
"Diver, get back here! We may be able to break it with a wrap attack!" said Agua.
From the speakers of the Gyarados-sub, Kelly said, "Give it up, gym leader. Your Pokémon is gone, and now so will you!"
Agua lowered her head. "Man . . ." Then, she saw a giant wave from behind the Gyarados-sub building up. Agua sniffled. "Diver."
Suddenly the wave had gone from far in the distance, to close up. It was like it was using an agility attack!
"Diver!" cried Agua.
But the wave was much bigger than a Diver could ever get it. And this sounded funny, but Agua swore she heard a low growl of the word, "Wave".
"Waver?" murmured Agua. She smiled. "Diver evolved!"
Waver's waves covered the Gyarados-sub, slowly sinking it.
"No!" cried Team Rocket on the speakers. "Team Rockets drowning once again!"
Agua smirked. "I love my Pokémon. That was an incredible water wave, Waver. But a last, we must head home. Waver, return!"
Chapter Fourteen: A Return Home
Jay, Dee, Winger, Auqtrias, Auqias, Fire Orb, Ultra, and the rest of the passengers of the Devil's Fire awaited the return of Agua, Gyaronix, Whirlpool, and Diver.
"Oh, I wish Agua would come back," moaned Jay.
Dee squinted into the distance. "I don't see anything. Just another big wave coming up."
Jay sighed. "Waves . . . reminds me of Agua and her Diver. I never did like that Pokémon much though. Its annoying water wave attack nearly got me, but Winger saved me."
"Hey, there's something on that wave!" cried someone.
"It's a Gyaronix and a girl!" cried another.
"Agua?" wondered Jay and Dee.
And sure enough, on a giant wave, Agua and Gyaronix were surfing towards the beach they were at.
"Is she controlling that wave, or is it a Pokémon?" wondered Jay. He held up his Pokédex to find out.
"Waver," answered the Pokédex. "A wave Super Pokémon. Out at sea, some people may not see this Pokémon, even though their boat rides across it. Waver will create most of the large waves in the sea. A tale is said the first wave came from this Pokémon."
"Cool,' said Jay.
"Also, Waver is the evolved form of the wave Pokémon Diver," noted Jay's Pokédex.
"What'd ya know," said Jay. "That annoying Splasher finally fully evolved!"
Agua, Gyaronix, and Waver came riding up to the crowd. Agua hopped off and asked, "So guys, did ya miss me?"
* * * *
After departing with the rest of the passengers, Auqias, and the water Pokémon, Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, and Ultra all checked the map in Jay's Pokédex.
"You are currently on the route between Current City and Cyber City," said the Pokédex.
Jay moaned. "After this whole big trip, we've only gone a route! I'm a bit insulted."
"Ra tra ra," agreed Ultra.
"I wonder if there are refunds?" wondered Dee.
"Orb, orb," said Fire Orb.
"You're probably right, they'll just find some way to get out of it," said Dee.
"Hey Jay, I'm not sure if this will make you any more happy but, I heard there's a gym in Cyber City," said Agua.
Jay brightened up. "A gym, really? All right guys, let's go! To Cyber City!"
Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, and Ultra have finished another season of Super Pokémon. They've left the Arachnid Island and now have come home. The all-new season will start off in the futuristic place called Cyber City. And the season has a large theme to it.
