Introduction to Season Three
It's time for the third season already. It seems that a lot is going to happen in these couple of books, including the last six gyms, the hatching of the Pokémon eggs, a battle in the Pokémon League, and all new Pokémon. Gym leaders include:
Lance the dragon Pokémon trainer.
Cyber the cyber Pokémon trainer.
Duplica the transformation Pokémon trainer.
And there will even be new Pokémon, and the revealing of the last 2 rare Pokémon:
"Plaaaanto!"
"Lita-tra!"
"Mew-e!"
"Rock-ster!"
"Fossil-In!"
And now, welcome to the beginning of season three, The Final Gyms. And it all starts off in Cyber City for their next badge. But, it ends up it isn't as easy as they hoped. Now, read about Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, and Ultra for their fight for a badge in Cyber, the Compémon.
Chapter One: The Journey Continues . . .
"So this is the Cyber City?" asked Dee, as her, Agua, Jay, Fire Orb, and Ultra headed towards the incoming city.
Jay sighed, looking up from his Pokédex, which had a map in it. "What are you talking about? What do you mean by the Cyber City?"
"Well Cyber City is probably the most advanced city in the world," answered Dee. "But the weird thing is, Cyber City and Current City are sister cities. They're almost exactly the same, except that Cyber City is computerized."
"Orb, orb, fire orb!" said Fire Orb.
Jay smirked. "Yeah Fire Orb, that does sound cool. I Just hope Cyber City doesn't have a gym like Current. I easily beat Ultram-"
"Of course, that's because Ultra popped in at the last moment and saved your butt," interrupted Agua.
Jay flinched. "What's your point?"
"Ultra, ultra," Ultra sighed.
Agua sighed. "Nothing. Anyway, Cyber City's just up ahead."
Jay had a bright smile covering his face. "I can't wait! I'm gonna get another badge! Let's hurry up!" Jay darted off towards Cyber City.
"Ultra tra!" cried Ultra and he quickly rushed after Jay.
* * * *
When Dee, Agua, and Fire Orb reached, they found Jay and Ultra sitting sadly outside the Cyber City.
"I guess he could wait," murmured Agua.
Jay rolled his eyes. "I need to pay to get through the gate. It's computerized, and when I gave it a bottle cap, it shocked me."
Dee sighed. "Aw, does Jay need some cash from the girls?"
Jay stood up, smirking and grinning, "You know Dee, you've always been my favorite traveling companion-"
"Hey!" growled Agua.
"-I don't suppose you could lend me some money?" asked Jay.
"How much?" asked Dee.
"Hey, what about me Barial!" growled Agua. "I've been traveling with you since you first left Meager Village!"
Jay nodded. "And that's why you're not my favorite." He turned to Dee. "A dollar fifty."
Dee gave Jay a confused look. "You don't have a dollar fifty?"
Ultra patted Jay on the shoulder. "Nope, I'm flat broke."
"Come on guess I could pay for both of you." Dee winked. "Considering I'm old enough to be called a young adult while you two are still minors."
Jay and Agua glared at Dee. "Hey! We aren't that young!"
"Ultra tra ra ultra," noted Ultra.
"Fire, fire orb fire orb," said Fire Orb.
"The Pokémon always side with her," muttered Jay.
Chapter Two: Welcome to Cyber City
"Keep on going!" ordered Fire Kat, at the head of the Team Rocket sub.
After losing their yacht, and the Pokémon, to Jay and his friends, Team Rocket had to go get their Gyarados-sub. Mike, Nick, and Kelly were rowing the sub, while Fire Kat was there for moral support.
"You know Fire Kat, you should held us out!" growled Mike.
"Why?" asked Fire Kat.
"I . . . I dunno, it just sounded like a good idea," murmured Mike.
Both Nick and Kelly sighed, then growled, "You're not helping Mike!"
Fire Kat glanced into the binoculars and shouted, "Land-ho! I see Cyber City, dead ahead. Keep on rowing!"
"Oh yippee," murmured Nick and Kelly.
* * * *
"Welcome to Cyber City," said a computerized voice, as Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, and Ultra entered the gates to Cyber City.
"That was creepy," said Jay. "I mean, a computer that happily greets you, I do not think so."
"Why can't you just say 'don't', oppose to do not," growled Agua. "Sound like a normal kid for gosh sakes!"
"Sorry, I can not," murmured Jay, then he whispered, "Educational purposes for the little kiddies at home!"
"Aw," murmured Dee and Agua.
"Anyway, let's get to the gym in this computerized city!" said Jay. "As long as the gym leader isn't a computer, they're always the hardest trainers."
"Ra," whined Ultra. He was hanging out his tongue and rubbing his stomach.
"Oh," moaned Fire Orb. It was hovering weakly next to Dee.
"Maybe we better head to the Pokémon Center first," murmured Dee. "And do a bit of sight seeing first. I mean it isn't every day we get to go to Cyber City."
"True," said Jay. "We heal our Pokémon before our big match!"
Both Dee and Agua turned towards Jay. Dee said, "Who mentioned anything about 'we'? It's your battle Barial, is it not?"
Jay chuckled. "Come on guys . . . we're a team . . . right?"
"Well I dunno," said Agua. "Your Pokémon are supposed to be in training. We're both already gym leaders, remember?"
Jay shrugged. "And I've challenge both of you and won. So, I think it's you that needs the training."
"We're just here to coach and train you, besides a win at the Cyber Gym wouldn't be easy for us," said Dee. "Electricity shocks-out of the way flying and water types."
Jay frowned. "Wimps. Fine, fine, fine. My Pokémon will easily challenge the gym leader." He held up his Pokédex. "'Dex, do you have a map of the Cyber City?"
"Yes," answered the Pokédex. An image of a complex city appeared on the Pokédex's screen. There was a small circle flashing at the entrance of the city. "You are here. Where do you wish to go?"
"The Pokémon Center," answered Jay.
The circle moved from the entrance to the building in front of them. It was extremely tall, white, building. Bluish, reddish, lights were flashing from the windows of these building. It appeared to be run by computers. At the very top, Jay could almost see the faintest picture of a Poké Ball.
"Let's go," said Jay.
* * * *
It was surprising how short a time it took for Ultra, Fire Orb, and the rest of the Pokémon to get healed in the center. Jay didn't have time to find a magazine to read while he had to wait.
After that, they took a trip around the city, to the marts, some famous buildings, and several other places. But none of them ended up being the Cyber Gym, which Jay wanted to challenge.
"Jay, why don't you ask your Pokédex where the gym is?" asked Dee.
"Yeah Barial, try using your head for a change," growled Agua.
Jay rolled his eyes. "The gym won't be on the map. Watch." He asked the Pokédex to find the gym, and the circle moved to the power plant building. "See, it doesn't know, it just went to the power plant."
"Maybe that's because that's where it is." Agua knocked on Jay's head. "Hello, anyone home?"
Jay shrugged. "Worth a try? How about it Ultra."
"Tra ra ultra ra," said Ultra.
"Orb, fire orb, orb," agreed Fire Orb.
"Thank you! They side with me once! It is worth a try," said Jay. "Off to the power plant!"
Chapter Three: The Tower of Power
"So this is the power plant, huh?" murmured Jay, looking up at a very tall building. "Looks like the rest of the places here."
"Except there are a ton of electrical power wires coming from the very top," said Dee. "I wouldn't want my Pokémon flying by this city."
"Or riding by it, think of all the electrical currents in the water," muttered Agua.
Jay began to knock on Agua's head, when suddenly she screamed-
"Don't touch my hair Barial!" growled Agua. She grabbed Jays arm and slammed him down onto the ground. "Nobody touches my beautiful, blue, hair! It's all natural."
Jay nodded, while rubbing his damaged head. "Natural . . . right . . ."
"Come on you two!" growled Dee, pulling the other two trainers into the power plant, with the two Pokémon following.
As they entered building, there they saw a large electric rod, with electricity running through the city.
"Ah," said Dee. "This is where the city gets all its power."
"But what's charging it up?" wondered Jay.
"Ultra, ultra!" cried Ultra; he jumped up and pointed towards the base of the rod. There were tons of Pikachu and Ultra charging it up.
"Cool," said Jay.
"Hey, you guy, is there a reason you here?" growled a worker from ahead of them.
Jay nodded. "We thought the Cyber Gym might be here, but I guess we were wrong. Do you want us to go?"
The worker laughed. "This is the Cyber Gym! It's also known as Cyber City's power plant: The Tower of Power."
"Great name," murmured Jay, Dee, and Agua in unison.
"The gym leader thought it'd be a good idea if the gym was the center of the city, and what better place than the city's power," said the worker.
Jay nodded. "Cool. So, where's the gym floor?"
"You're standing in it kid."
Jay flinched. "You mean, if we touch the rod, our Pokémon could get the shock of one hundred Ultra and Pikachu?"
The worker nodded.
"We're out." Dee, Agua, and Fire Orb took a giant step back.
Jay sighed. "I wish to challenge the Cyber Gym Leader. Where might I find the gym leader?"
The worker pointed down towards the base of the rod. "That's where our gym leader is. Go down if you wish."
* * * *
"It says here, that the Cyber Gym is also the Power of Tower," said Fire Kat. "The electricity from the city comes from this gym. If we could get our Pokémon to stop that current, the city would be powerless, and then we'll steal all the Pokémon."
"Fire Kat," said Nick, as he rowed the Gyarados-Sub, "what Pokémon do we have that can stop that electrical current?"
Kelly thought for a moment. "My Alakazam and Ratorina wouldn't be able to stop it."
"Gaser and Smogger wouldn't be able to stop it either," agreed Mike.
"Hey! Rhyoran could stop it!" said Nick happily. Then he thought for one second. "Hey, didn't I start out with Gasie, and you had Snake Eyes."
"What's past is past," said Mike.
Kelly rolled her eyes. "Rhyoran can cut the electrical current, and the Pokémon will be ours for the taking."
"If we ever get there! Hurry up you three, make this sub move!" ordered Fire Kat.
Chapter Four: Revenge of the Pokémon-Nerd
Jay and Ultra slowly climbed down towards the base of the electric rod, where tons of Pikachu and Ultra were using their thunderbolt to charge up the city. Near the Pokémon were a man and a Pokédex. The Pokédex was touching the rod, getting the charge of the Pikachu and Ultra.
"Um, excuse me, what are you doing with that Pokédex?" Jay asked.
The man seemed startled. "Oh! What are you doing here! Do you know how dangerous it is around this rod! You should be a lot more careful!"
Jay looked down at the ground. "I'm . . . sorry."
"Unless you're a challenger, in that case, you must slowly make your way down here," said the man.
"Oh, why, there wasn't any danger right?" asked Jay.
"Trainers usually travel down here in shields because the electric rod may sometimes sent a bolt of electricity down towards the trainer." The man glanced towards a small bug that was crawling along the path down the base of the rod. Suddenly, a bolt of electricity when down and shocked the bug.
Jay and Ultra leaped into each other's arms in fright. "It could do that!"
The man rolled his eyes. "If you wish to challenge me, I am Netic, the computerized Pokémon trainer."
Jay smiled. "Well then this should be fun. I am Jay, the mighty Super Pokémon, and yes, I do wish to challenge you!"
"Tra!" growled Ultra.
"What a cute little Ultra; Wish I could add it to my collection." Netic, the annoying Pokémon trainer smirked. "The battle shall extend further than a battle. We shall have a bet. You win and you earn your Cyber badge. I win and you hand over your electric Pokémon."
Jay shook his head. "No battle is worth losing Ultra!"
"Ra!" Ultra was beginning to charge up for a power shock. "Ra tra, ultra, ultra, tra ra ultra!"
Jay looked at Ultra. "You want to battle this nerd? Are you sure Ultra?"
"Ultra!" growled Ultra. "Ra, ra, ra!"
"In honor of electric types, cool," said Jay. Jay glanced towards the working Pikachu and Ultra. "Let's extend the deal, first off, if I lose, you can give me a second chance?"
Netic, the nerd, nodded. "Sure, I don't mind that. Doesn't even have to be part of the deal."
Jay smirked. "Good, then you won't mind if I win, I set all these Ultra and Pikachu go, and you run this tower without Pokémon."
Netic glared at Jay. "What exactly do I get in return."
"What do you want?" asked Jay.
"You and your friends electric Pokémon," growled Netic.
"Ra!" screeched Ultra.
Jay thought for a moment. My only friend that has electric Pokémon is Ultram, and luckily he's not here, so I'm off the hook. "It's a deal."
Netic glanced towards an Ultra. "Ultra, create a thunder shield around myself and our friends here. It seems we have some what of a challenge."
Chapter Five: Computerized Pokémon?
"You what!" growled Agua.
"You bet our electric Pokémon too!" screamed Dee.
"You both do realize you don't have electric Pokémon, right?" asked Jay, out of curiosity.
"It's not that, it's the principle!" growled Agua.
Dee shook her head. "You can't do things without our permission. But since I know how these nerds work, if we don't help out, you'll lose Ultra."
Jay frowned. "I'm sorry guys, and thank you so much!" He hugged both the girls.
"Ack! Get off of me Jay!" they both screeched.
"Ult ra," Ultra sighed.
"Orb," moaned Fire Orb.
"Are you ready Jay Barial?" asked Netic over the speakers. Jay glanced over towards the other side of the rod, and saw Netic waving contentfully for Jay to begin to battle.
Jay sighed and shouted, "I'm ready.
The rod stood in the middle of the ring, and the long slope that was around the electric rod. That was the main obstacle Jay could see, and he knew his Pokémon could avoid it.
Jay wanted to save his best for last, Ultra, so he decided he should start things off with Morpher. "Ready when you are."
"Let the match begin," replied Netic.
"I choose you, Morpher!" Jay threw Morpher's Super Ball into the battle arena and out of the ball appeared the transforming Super Pokémon.
Netic nodded. "Go, Porygon." Netic threw a Poké Ball and out of it appeared the polygon-shaped Pokémon.
Jay shrugged. "A normal type Pokémon, that's intersting."
"Jay, it's a cybernetic type Pokémon!" shouted Dee. "Once other computer Pokémon starting appearing, scientist thought they should give Pokémon like Porygon their own type."
Jay rolled his eyes. "Morpher can handle this, right? Morpher, transform into Attacker, now!"
"Morph!" Morpher began to glow and its shape transformed from a blob to a rock-hard, weight lifting, Super Pokémon.
"My Porygon can handle this." Netic laughed evilly.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm sure," muttered Jay. "Attack! Strength attack!"
Morpher darted towards Porygon, ready to bop it right upside its head.
"Conversion!" ordered Netic.
"Porygon!" Porygon shimmered, and the color and texture of Porygon changed to look like an Attacker. When Morpher leaped towards Porygon, the impact sent Morpher flying backwards.
Agua and Dee both gasped. Jay frowned sadly.
"How come Porygon wasn't hurt?" wondered Agua.
"It was probably at a higher level," answered Dee.
"Porygon, psybeam now!" ordered Netic.
Netic's Porygon shot psywaves from its eyes and slowly confused Morpher. He fell backwards from the deadly attack.
Jay frowned. "Morpher, return."
"What did I tell you?" Netic laughed. "My Porygon can handle this!"
Jay rolled his eyes. "I was going to save Ultra for last but it seems I have no choice. Ultra, I choose you!"
* * * *
Hovering from the deadly seas that connected the Arachnid Island to the main land, Haunter moved speedily to try to catch up to Jay, Dee, Agua, and Ultra. Those four were the main enemies on his bosses' list.
{Jay Barial, I shall serve my master well,} growled Haunter as he hovered across the sea. {And I can easily track you. I know exactly where you are: The gym in Cyber City. You won't be able to escape.}
Haunter laughed evilly as he moved in towards the Cyber City.
Chapter Six: Even Not the Mighty Ultra . . .
"Ultra, I choose you!" Jay pointed towards Porygon. "Ultra, show Porygon who's the top Pokémon here!"
Ultra darted forward, preparing for attack.
"Porygon, trio-attack!" shouted Netic.
"Ultra, agility!" said Jay.
Porygon sent a bolt of lightning, a stream of fire, and a deadly ice beam towards Ultra, but the speedy mouse dodges all three attacks.
"Porygon, tackle!" said Netic.
"Tackle, now!" said Jay.
The two slammed into each other. But Ultra ended up being hurt by this. Ultra went flying back, beginning to roll down the slope towards the electric rod, but he quickly darted up.
"Ultra, do your stuff, thunder shocker!" ordered Jay.
"Electric bolt!" shouted Netic.
A strange aurora of electricity surrounded Porygon. When Ultra sent its deadly shock attack, Porygon absorbed the shock.
"Fine, Ultra, slam now!" growled Jay.
Netic simply nodded. Porygon rushed Ultra and slammed into the poor mouse. At the impact, a large shock shocked Ultra, sending him flying back towards the electric rod.
"Ultra, teleportation!" cried Jay. "Hurry!"
But it was too late. Ultra slammed into the electric rod and the electrical shocks of tons of Ultra and Pikachu surged through Jay's Ultra. After losing contact with the rod, Ultra fell helplessly to the ground.
"Porygon, psybeam now!" ordered Netic.
Jay gasped. "Stop it! Ultra's down and we need to get back up!"
Netic smirked. "It ain't over till it's over! Ultra can still fight; you're just in the way! Porygon, commence fire!"
Jay rushed down towards the injured Ultra as bolts of electricity shot down from the rod next to him. Jay dived down and grabbed Ultra just as Porygon's psybeam almost hit Ultra.
"The kid's got guts, but that doesn't matter in this gym! It seems that not even the mighty Ultra can defeat me," growled Netic. "It's the ways of the trainers that matter! Porygon swift attack now!"
"Pory!" Ninja-like stars shot from Porygon's eyes and towards Ultra and Jay.
"Stop it!" growled Jay.
"Tra!" The weak Ultra sent a large blast of electricity at the stars. Ultra fried Porygon's swift attack and the stars just fell helplessly to the ground.
Jay and Ultra finally reached the top of the arena and the two collapsed.
"Gon!" growled Porygon.
"Do you surrender?" growled Netic.
Jay moaned. "This is only the first battle. I still have one more to go." Jay got up with Ultra in his hands and said, "Come on guys, let's go."
Chapter Seven: The Choice is Jay's
"Since your Ultra is in such bad shape it may take some time to heal it," said the nurse at the Cyber City Pokémon Center.
"But I thought this city's centers were more up-to-date," said Jay.
"They are, but your Ultra is really beat up." The nurse sighed. "I'm actually surprised it's still here. Most trainers who had Pikachu or Ultra or any other electric Pokémon have usually lost it to Netic or given it up to the gym leader so he wouldn't continue hurting it."
Jay glanced at Agua and Dee. "What do you two think?"
Dee shrugged. "Get Ultra healed and then let's get out of the city. You can get a badge somewhere else Jay!"
"Fire orb, fire, fire, orb," said Fire Orb.
"Yeah, if your Ultra couldn't defeat Netic's first Pokémon, then how could your other Pokémon possibly stop the rest of his Pokémon?" asked Agua.
Jay looked down. "I'll decide what to do when Ultra's better. If you want, you three can go out and continue to check out the city."
Dee smiled. "Will you be okay?"
Jay nodded. "Yeah, as long as Ultra will be."
* * * *
Dee, Agua, and Fire Orb headed out of the Pokémon Center and towards the giant Pokémon Mart. They hoped they could buy some TMs so the two trainers could teach their Pokémon some new attacks.
"Hey Dee," said Agua.
"Yeah?" she replied.
"You have a feeling someone is following us?" Agua asked.
Dee nodded. "Yup."
They turned towards each other. If it was who they thought it was, then the duo could easily get them out of hiding.
"This sounds like trouble!" they said in unison.
"Trouble?" repeated four voices from around the corner. Suddenly, three people and a feline animal popped out from the corner. "Make that double!"
The two girls sighed. "Figures: Team Rocket."
"To protect the world from devastation," said one of the people.
"To bind all bad guys within our nation," said the feline.
"To announce the evils of truth and love," said another of the people.
"To extend our reach to the stars above," said the final person.
"Mike."
"Nick."
"And Kelly."
"Fiiiiiire Kat, that's right!" growled Fire Kat.
"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.
Dee and Agua had already summoned Fire Orb, Solar Orb, Ice Orb, and Whirlpool while Team Rocket was saying their introduction.
Kelly looked around. "Where's Barial and his Ultra?"
Dee shrugged. "We dunno. He took off after his defeat."
"The poor guy lost to the Cyber Gym's leader." Agua shrugged. "You can find him heading north."
Mike chuckled. "Aw, that's just a shame. But we'll get Jay and Ultra later."
Nick nodded. "But now it's time for us to steal your Pokémon! Mike, let's do it!"
"Go, Smogger! Go Gaser!" Mike threw a Super Ball revealing the deadly sludge/gas Pokémon.
"Snake Glare!" Nick's large snake Pokémon popped out of its ball.
Kelly nodded. "Go, Ratorina-" Kelly's Super Ball was caught in the air by Fire Kat and he handed the ball back to her.
"They don't obey you Kelly, let me battle," suggested Fire Kat.
"Yeah, okay," murmured Kelly. "Go Team Rocket!"
Chapter Eight: Seven Out of Nine
"Fire Orb, fire beam! Solar Orb, solar beam!" commanded Dee.
"Ice Orb, aurora beam! Whirlpool, water wave!" shouted Agua.
"Snake Glare, use glare!" ordered Nick.
Mike smirked. "Smogger, Gaser, smokescreen."
"Fire Kat, match Fire Orb's fire beam with your fire beam!" ordered Kelly.
"Fire Orb!" growled Fire Orb.
"Kat!" screeched Fire Kat.
They both shot beams of fire at each other, but they always seemed to miss on another. But their beams finally met, and there was a giant explosion sending them flying backwards.
"Iccce," hissed Ice Orb.
"Glare!" growled Snake Glare.
Ice Orb began to shoot its ice beam, but Snake Glare evaded it and it gave Ice Orb its glare attack.
The poor paralyzed Ice Orb dropped to the ground.
"Snake Glare, wrap attack," ordered Nick.
"Ice Orb, mist aurora!" commanded Agua.
Snake Glare began to wrap around Ice Orb, but Ice Orb began being really cold and Snake Glare froze over.
Gaser and Smogger spread a smokescreen around Solar Orb and Whirlpool, but Whirlpool's water wave and Solar Orb's solar beam cleared away the smoke.
"Tackle!" ordered Mike, Dee, and Agua.
All four Pokémon smashed into each other and they fell to the ground.
{Well this is just perfect,} growled a new voice. {Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, Mike, Nick, Kelly, and Fire Kat are all here. My, that's seven out of nine!} Suddenly, a Haunter appeared out of thin air.
"Haunter!" Dee gasped. "Did you finally take control and stop your boss from controlling you after we last left in the cavern?"
{Do you really think the power of my master isn't strong enough to recover the true me?} Haunter asked. {The evil me? I'm back, and ready to take a vengeance for my brothers! Electric Orb, attack!}
From out of nowhere, seven deadly Electric Orb appeared near Haunter.
{Troops, attack!} Haunter ordered.
"Go Rocky! Go Willie!" Dee threw two Super Balls into the air and out appeared her rock Pokémon and her doll Pokémon.
"Go Willie!" Agua too threw a Super Ball containing her doll Pokémon.
"I guess this is your cue, Rhyoran, go!" said Nick. He threw a Super Ball with a deadly poison-rock Pokémon inside of it.
{Your Pokémon won't be able to withstand me!} Haunter growled. {Thunderbolt!}
"Take down!" ordered Nick.
"Rock throw," said Dee.
"Willie, absorb the electricity!" ordered Dee and Agua. "Then shock them with a string shot!"
Rocky hurled itself at two of the Electric Orb, passing right through their electrical shock, and slammed into the ghost Pokémon. They both fainted and then they were teleported off.
Rhyoran charged into two of the Electric Orb with its deadly horn harming them the most. They fainted and then too teleported off.
"Elect!" The remaining three Electric Orb shocked the girls' Willie, but they weren't harmed.
Then, the two Willie shot yarn at the remaining three Electric Orb and gave them a bad shocking. They were fainted.
Haunter glared at them. {Fine, now you're asking for it! I summon the three giant Ultimate Orb, master.}
Three huge Ultimate Orb appeared behind Haunter.
"Oh no," moaned Dee.
Chapter Nine: To the Rescue
{Ultimate Orb, use your psyblast attack! Get rid of these seven annoyances,} commanded Haunter. {Go!}
The three giant Ultimate Orb sent millions of super-sized psywaves at the group, sending most of their Pokémon flying backwards.
"Ugh," moaned Agua. She fully collapsed on the ground.
"Help . . ." Dee took collapsed on the floor.
"Team Rocket's fading off again," mumbled Team Rocket.
Haunter laughed cruelly. {Now how easy was that? Alright Ultimate Orb, teleport them away.}
"Not so fast!" growled a kid.
{What!} Haunter turned behind him to see Jay and his annoying Ultra standing there. {No, not you, not now! I was so close! You can't stop me! Again my three Ultimate Orb, psyblast!}
"Alright Ultra, I hope you're feeling better." Jay smirked. "Ultra, reflect!"
Ultra simply waved his finger and suddenly a light screen appeared in front of Ultra and the psyblast attacks bounced back towards the four evil ghost Pokémon.
{Oh no,} moaned Haunter.
The blast hit Haunter and the three other Ultimate Orb. They went flying into the background, like Team Rocket usually did.
"Looks like we aren't blasting off this time!" cheered Fire Kat. He turned towards Ultra. "Now for that Ultra."
Jay smiled. "Ultra, let's make this simple. Teleport them."
"Ultra tra!" Ultra's eyes turned a dark blue and so did Team Rocket. Suddenly Team Rocket was teleported off somewhere.
Jay patted Ultra on the head. "Good job Ultra!"
Dee and Agua smiled. "Pokémon, return!"
* * * *
"So you're going to challenge Netic again?" asked Dee.
Jay nodded. "I'd gladly leave and go to another gym, but Ultra wants to prove himself, don't you Ultra?"
"Ra!" growled Ultra.
Jay, Dee, Agua, and Ultra were in the Pokémon Center while Fire Orb and the rest of Dee and Agua's Pokémon were getting healed.
"Do you think it's the best idea?" asked Dee. "I mean he beat up Ultra pretty badly. You should plan out what you're going to do."
"Exactly how do I do that?" asked Jay.
The two girls shrugged.
"I may know," said a strange voice.
Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, and Ultra turned towards the voice. There stood a white, machine-like creature.
"What's your name?" asked Dee.
"Most call me L," answered the robot.
Jay nodded. "Okay, what should I do, L?"
"You have a Pokédex, correct?" asked L.
"Of course," answered Jay.
"Look up the three most commonly used computerized Pokémon," answered L. "There you should find the three most likely Pokémon that Netic will be using."
Jay flipped open his Pokédex and told it to look for the three most commonly used Pokémon. Soon, three images popped up on the screen. The 'dex answered, "Porygon, Porygon 2, and Cyber."
"Look up data on Cyber," ordered Jay.
"Cyber," answered the Pokédex. "A computerized Super Pokémon. Using the information to create Porygon, the creator has made a Pokémon similarly built to a Pokédex. Its powers are beyond belief. Evolves into . . ."
Jay frowned. "It still does that! Grrr! L, do you-" But L had mysteriously disappeared before Jay could ask his question. Jay sighed. "Well, I know what Pokémon I'm going to use now."
Chapter Ten: Jay's Return
"Well look who decide to come back," growled Netic, as Jay, Ultra, and the others walked/floated in.
"I have a plan this time Netic," growled Jay. "And you won't easily be able to beat me Netic."
"I find that hard to believe." Netic smirked. "We shall used three Pokémon, no time limit, and if you lose I get your electric Pokémon."
"Deal," said Jay. He quickly selected a Super Ball. "Ready when you are."
Netic threw a Poké Ball into the arena and out popped Porygon.
Jay threw the Super Ball revealing Electric Orb. "Meet my other electric Pokémon, Netic. It'll be your Porygon's downfall."
"I hardly believe that," growled Netic. "Let the match begin!"
"Electric Orb, swift attack!" shouted Jay.
"Agility!" commanded Netic.
Electric Orb spun around, releasing small Ninja-like stars at Porygon, but it used its agility to dodge them, and it was coming closer towards Electric Orb ready to smash into it.
"Teleport!" shouted Jay.
Electric Orb teleported away, right before Porygon slammed into him. Porygon stumbled towards the electric rod, but quickly got back in control.
"Tackle attack!" both trainers said in unison.
Porygon and Electric Orb went full speed at each other, and slammed into each other. The impact sent them flying back.
"Porygon, trio attack!" ordered Netic.
"Electric Orb, nightshade!" shouted Jay.
The room darkened as Electric Orb sent a large ghostly wave at Porygon and its trio attack. The nightshade deadened the ice, electric, and fire attack and they disappeared. The impacted of the nightshade made Porygon go flying backwards.
"Oh, Netic, you may have forgotten this, but as you should remember, Porygon was the first Pokémon to fly into cyber space," growled Jay. He gave Netic a wink. "Electric Orb, ultimate shocker!"
"Elect!" A yellow light flashed right before Electric Orb released the energy. It was charging up for an attack.
"Okay Porygon, use that special attack a taught you!" shouted Netic. "Porygon use your metronome!"
Seconds pulsed while Porygon and Electric Orb prepared to use their attack. Would the ultimate shocker hit Porygon first, or would whatever attack Porygon used hit Electric Orb first?
"Elect!" The ultimate shocker surged towards Porygon as a hyper beam shot from Porygon. Both moves slammed into each other, one trying to push the other towards the opponent. Finally, the hyper beam began pushing the ultimate shocker back towards Electric Orb.
"Come on Electric Orb, you can do this!" shouted Jay. "You can do this!"
"Electric Orb!" The ultimate shocker suddenly too command and pushed the hyper beam back towards Porygon. There was a moment of silence when suddenly there was a big bang and smoke covered the arena. When it cleared, Electric Orb weakly hovered near the body of the fainted Porygon.
Chapter Eleven: Porygon2
"Porygon, return." Netic nodded. "You're good. You've defeated a Pokémon some don't even get past. Of course you already know that since you couldn't get past Porygon before."
"Choose your Pokémon," growled Jay.
"If Porygon almost got Electric Orb, then I know who can do the job." Netic chose a type of Poké Ball Jay had only seen in the hands of the arachnid trainer, Rick. "I summon, Porygon2!" He threw the Super Ball and out appeared a much larger, round, sleek, version of Porygon.
Jay cringed. "I knew he'd select Porygon2 next! Electric Orb, return!" He quickly recalled the Orb Pokémon. Jay gave Netic another wink. "Psyghost, I choose you!" He threw the Super Ball containing his ghastly friend.
{What do you want Jay, I'm very busy,} stated Psyghost.
"In your Super Ball?" asked Jay.
Netic scratched his head. "A ghost Pokémon that can talk?"
{The ghost Pokémon that can naturally use this mind-speech,} correct Psyghost. {You want me to do battle with a Porygon2? There's a Pokémon you don't see often.}
"Thanks," said Netic.
Jay glared a Psyghost. "You're taking the wrong side Psyghost."
{Sorry,} Psyghost murmured.
"Let's start." Netic pointed towards Psyghost. "Trio attack!"
"Mimic!" ordered Jay.
The two Pokémon, Psyghost and Porygon shot fire, ice, and lightning at each other. The impact created a giant explosion.
Jay smirked. "I was looking through my Pokédex and I found a useful attack I've been dying to use! Psyghost, explosion punch!"
{An explosion punch, eh? That's a new attack,} stated Psyghost.
{Isn't it the truth,} sneered Porygon2.
"Porygon2 can talk!" exclaimed Jay, Dee, and Agua.
"A voice box was added in this upgrade of Porygon," said Netic. "Psychic!"
{Huh, oh right! The explosion punch,} remembered Psyghost. "Psy!" Psyghost leaped at Porygon2 and began to punch the Pokémon, but the punch slid right off Porygon2. It's too sleek body and slippery it was almost impossible for Psyghost too punch it.
Taking advantage of the moment, Porygon sent a psychic attack at Psyghost.
Psyghost fell helplessly to the ground.
"Psyghost, glare attack!" ordered Jay.
"Flash!" shouted Netic.
Porygon2 quickly used a flash attack, brightening up the whole room. Psyghost was too blinded to use a glare.
"No!" cried Jay.
"Porygon2, take down!" Netic winked. "Finish that Psyghost off!"
{You got it!} Porygon to rushed Jay's Psyghost. It slammed into Psyghost and sent it flying towards the electric rod. But luckily, Psyghost used his teleport attack to teleport himself away from the electrical rod.
Jay sighed. "Fine. Psyghost, return." He recalled Psyghost. "I guess I'm down to my last Pokémon. Ultra, I choose you!"
"The Ultra again, I'll love having him on my team," Netic sneered. "Porygon2, metronome!"
"Ultra, metronome!" shouted Jay.
Ultra leaped forwarded, and waved his fingers back and forth, searching for a metronome attack to use. Pendulums in Porygon2's eyes moved back and forth, at the exact same rate as Ultra's fingers.
Suddenly, both Pokémon sent a hyper beam at each other and there was a giant explosion (which was happening in this battle pretty often). Both Ultra and Porygon2 didn't move.
"Ultra, shocker attack!" growled Jay.
"Tra!" shouted Ultra.
For some reason, Netic just chuckled while Ultra shot the blast of electricity at Porygon2. Like the punch, the electric bounced right off it.
Jay frowned. "I can't even touch it!"
{I know!} Porygon2 said happily.
Jay smiled. "I know what I have to do! Ultra, agility! Try to get on to Porygon2!"
"Match it with your agility Porygon2!" ordered Netic.
Ultra and Porygon2 dived at each other with their agility attack, not landing a single hit. But Jay's Ultra knew an attack Netic's Porygon2 didn't.
"Teleport!" said Jay.
Ultra used his teleport to teleport from the ground to on top of Porygon2.
"Thunderwave!" shouted Jay.
Ultra pressed his cheeks against Porygon2, and gave it a good shocking. Porygon2 fell to the ground paralyzed.
"Ultra, psytoss!" shouted Jay. "Finish it off!"
Ultra's eyes glowed. Then, Porygon2 started glowing too, but it was hurled to the ceiling and then back down to the ground.
"See, I could throw Porygon2 at that electrical rod, but I'm not," said Jay.
"That just proves that you're weak! Porygon2, return!" Netic quickly recalled the sleek Pokémon back into its Poké Ball. "Now your Ultra shall meet its match! I summon, Cyber!" Netic threw a Super Ball and out of the ball appeared a bluish/silver Pokédex-like creature. On the side of it was a small lightning symbol. It was much larger than a normal Pokédex, with arms and legs. It's "eyes" were a small black sensors at the top of its body.
"Ha! Ultra can easily beat that!" said Jay.
"We'll see," Netic sneered.
Chapter Twelve: The Final Round –
Ultra versus Cyber
"Tackle!" they both said at once.
{You got it.} It seemed most of the computerized Pokémon had a voice box. It clamped shut and slammed into Ultra, while Ultra slammed into it. Ultra seemed to be more damaged.
"Spinning tackle!" shouted Netic.
"Tail whip!' ordered Jay.
As Cyber went spinning towards Ultra, the mouse bent down and tried to whack it with his but the tail whip only hit Ultra's tail instead of Cyber.
"I know we rarely use this, but Ultra, fury swipes!" ordered Jay.
Ultra jumped at Cyber and tried scratching away at it, but it only wore down Ultra's nails.
"Cyber, clamp attack!" ordered Netic.
Cyber quickly clamped onto Ultra's tail, and Ultra leaped into the air in pain.
"Ultra, send a shocker attack through your tail!" shouted Jay.
Netic smirked. "Cyber, absorb."
"Tra!" groaned Ultra as it sent a shocker attack through its tail and tried to shock Cyber. But Cyber absorbed the energy.
"Mirror move!" shouted Netic.
Cyber sent the shocker through Ultra's tail and shocked the poor little mouse Super Pokémon.
"Ultra, you have to get Cyber off your tail!" shouted Jay. "Teleport!"
"Ultra!" Ultra swiftly teleported to the other side of the room, leaving Cyber on the floor.
Jay laughed. "Now how will Cyber catch up to Ultra?"
"Simple," answered Netic. "Cyber, duo attack!"
Cyber sent a ton of razor leaves and a water gun at Ultra, but Ultra dodged the attacks using agility.
"Trio attack!"
Cyber now sent fire, ice, and lightning at Ultra, but the psychic-mouse dodged them too.
"Quartet attack!" shouted Netic.
This time, a hyper beam, psybeam, a nightshade, and a solar beam shot from Cyber. And this time, the hyper beam and the solar beam hit Ultra.
Netic laughed evilly. "Fighting Porygon2 wore out your little Ultra! Cyber, finish it off! Spinning tackle!"
"Tra!" Ultra boldly got up, showing he wouldn't give up.
"Ultra, barrier!" shouted Jay.
"Ra!" Ultra waved his finger, and suddenly a dark wall appeared from nowhere. Cyber slammed into it.
Netic gasped. "Fine then, Cyber, disable!"
Cyber's eyes glowed a deep red and within several seconds the barrier disappeared.
"Psychic!" shouted Netic.
"Use an agility-teleport!" ordered Jay.
Netic's Cyber tried using psychic, but as it came near Ultra swiftly teleported away.
"Psytoss now!" shouted Jay.
Ultra stopped teleporting and used the psytoss to turn the psychic attack around towards Cyber. The psychic energy hurled towards the Pokédex-Pokémon and Jay knew this would finish it off.
"Cyber, reflect!" ordered Netic.
Cyber created a light screen in front of it and the psychic attack turned around yet again back at Ultra. But it was too fast. Ultra was hit by the psychic attack and was finished.
"Cyber has defeated Ultra," declared Netic. "I win. Your Ultra's mine!"
Chapter Thirteen: Sudden Death
"Your Ultra's mine," growled Netic. He drew an empty Super Ball. "Alright, Super Ball, go!" He threw it at Ultra, but just as they were about to intercept, a small swift attack star hit the Super Ball.
Jay, Dee, Agua, and Fire Orb turned towards the door, and there was the strange, white, machine called L from the Pokémon Center that had helped them before.
"What do you want?" growled Netic.
Jay quickly darted towards Ultra and grabbed his injured friend away from Netic's grasp.
"I would like a sudden death match," declared L.
Netic rolled his eyes. "The Ultra is mine!"
"I'll let you have the Ultra, of course," said L. "But then again, there are rules about gym leaders in this Pokémon League about not having giant electrical rods in the middle of the arena. They're very dangerous. And creating bets in matches too are also against the Pokémon League rules. I could shut this gym down."
"I do not accept your challenge. The people of Cyber City and Current City would stand up for the gym," growled Netic.
Agua stepped forward. "Not Current City. The gym leader, Ultram, is a good friend of ours, and I'm sure can convince Current City not to aid an evil gym leader like you."
"And if there's an evil gym in Cyber City, then the tourist won't be rolling in anymore," growled Dee.
"Or maybe he doesn't think he can beat my Pokémon," decided L.
Jay smiled. "Thanks guys."
Netic frowned. "Cyber return." He quickly recalled Cyber and nodded. "I except your challenge. 1 on 1. The first Pokémon to faint loses. Ready?"
"Ready," said L.
"Go Cyber!" Netic threw a Super Ball containing another Cyber. Netic glanced up at L. "What Pokémon are you going to use?"
"I choose Lightnin!" said L. L jumped forward, ready to attack.
Jay gasped. "L's a Lightnin! What's a Lightnin?" He held up his Pokédex towards the Lightnin.
"Lightnin," answered the Pokédex. "A lightning bolt Super Pokémon. After evolving from Cyber, its next form has powerful electric moves. It has transformed into a humanoid-robot create. It can be easily confused for a human."
"No kidding," murmured Jay. Jay had just suddenly noticed the eyes were strange similar, as was the coloring of the two. Then he noticed the lightning symbol on Lightnin's belt. "'Dex, is Lightnin an evolved Cyber?"
"Yes," answered the Pokédex.
"Whoa! A wild Lightnin! Cool! Get that stupid Cyber, Lightnin!" shouted Jay.
Lightnin nodded in agreement.
"Cyber, spinning tackle!" shouted Netic.
But the Lightnin had the advantage. Lightnin simply knocked Cyber away with the knock of a hand. Then Lightnin held up his hand, shot swift attack stars from the tips of his finger, and badly damaged Cyber.
"Cyber, quartet attack!" shouted Netic.
{You're going down now Lightnin!} Cyber growled. It shot a hyper beam, psybeam, a nightshade, and a solar beam at Lightnin.
Lightnin held out its hand, and a light screen was created. When the attacks hit it, they reflected back at Cyber.
"Yeah! Go Lightnin!" cheered Jay. "Try getting Cyber a bit more with a thunder attack!"
"You got it," agreed Lightnin. It held out his hand again, and lightning shot from the tips of Lightnin's fingers.
{You crap,} moaned Cyber. Cyber was hit with all of the attacks, including a thunder attack. After the smoke had cleared from attacks, an unconscious Cyber lay on the floor.
Chapter Fourteen: The Cyber Badge and
A New Friend
"Cyber, return." Netic held out a Super Ball and recalled the Pokédex-Pokémon. "You have defeated me Lightnin. You have earned a Cyber Badge." Netic glanced at Jay and stuck out his tongue. "Unlike you Barial. You have earned nothing."
Lightning glanced at Jay. "Jay, I award you with a Cyber Badge. You have fought hard and well against Netic."
Jay smiled. "Yeah! I have my seventh badge!"
"Finally," added in Dee and Agua.
Jay smirked as he glanced towards the now frowning Netic. "You know what you have to do Netic: You have to release all these Ultra and Pikachu you are holding here hostage."
Netic sighed. "I never said once I was holding them hostage. I captured them and told them to do what they had to do. It is just the same as you ordering your Ultra to battle for the badges."
"Yes, but Ultra wants to fight. I think we should hear what your Pokémon have to say," suggested Lightnin. He created a barrier around him. "Shall we Netic.
Jay, holding Ultra, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, Lightnin, and Netic all walked down towards the electrical rod.
"You there, Pikachu." Lightnin pointed to a small Pikachu. "How do you feel about all of these work?"
"Pi ka pi ka," moaned the Pikachu.
"And you there, Ultra, how do you feel?" asked Lightnin.
"Ra, ra, ra," muttered Ultra.
"As you can see, you have worked these Pokémon most of their lives," growled Lightnin. "I suggest you find new Pokémon that are willing to do the job. In the mean time, I suggest you capture new Pokémon, Netic. I know Jay is."
"I am?" wondered Jay.
"I would be honored to join your group of Pokémon," said Lightnin.
"How come Pokémon never want to come with me?" asked Agua. "I mean, it's always Jay or Dee, but never Agua."
"Did you battle Netic?" growled Jay.
"Fine, fine, whatever," mumbled Agua.
* * * *
With Lightnin on their side, Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, and the healed Ultra marched happily out of Cyber City.
"I can't believe I have seven badges," said Jay proudly. "I've fought seven gym leaders and won-"
"Shut up Jay," growled Dee. "You didn't even beat this one!"
"Yeah," growled Agua.
Jay shrugged. "Well we will next time. Right Ultra?"
"Ra tra!" said Ultra cheerfully.
"Where are we going now?" asked Jay.
"Sparse Town is the nearest place with a gym," answered Dee. "But it is a ways to go Jay. You sure you want to go there?"
"Of course!" said Jay. "I can wait several weeks to get to a gym!"
"Well, looks like we're going off to find another gym, with Team Rocket not too far behind," said Agua happily. "Seems just like the good old days."
* * * *
The evil Haunter and a Mew hovered high in the sky.
"You have failed our master Haunter," growled Mew.
{I am sorry, the boy and the Pokémon appeared out of nowhere,} complained Haunter. {The others would be mine.}
"You know the master's vision contains them," said the Mew. "If they are not destroyed, the vision may come true."
Haunter nodded. {And we can not let what happened to Gastly and Gengar happen to us.}
The Mew smiled an evil smile. "Good, then you know what to do Haunter. Get them."
Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, and Ultra have run into a trio of Pokémon trainers. But these are top trainers, and very skillful. They can put up a great fight, and could probably even beat them. But will trainers like these end up good or bad, or even a rival! Find out in The Mighty Trainers.
