Chapter One: The Pokémon Eggs
Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, and Ultra all headed happily along towards Sparse Town, where Jay hoped to gain his eighth badge. So far, since their return, Jay had already earned his seventh badge at the Cyber Gym. He had also made three new friends: Bane, Crystal, and Blaze.
"Hmmm," said Jay, as he continued walking and taking the lead. "I wonder what the Rare Gym Leader will be like?"
"Tough," replied Dee. "Legendary and rare Pokémon is this leader's specialty."
Agua nodded. "The leader will definitely be a tough one, much more tougher than your last gym leaders."
Jay sighed. "But they were tough."
"Tra!" Ultra and Fire Orb jumped up in front of Jay and the trainer stopped.
"What is it Ultra, Fire Orb?" asked Jay.
Fire Orb hovered over Jay's backpack and Ultra tried to jump on top of the pack.
"What is it?" Jay took off the backpack and looked inside. Some Poké Balls, potions, Super Balls, and various other things were floating around in it when he noticed the trio of eggs. He took them out of his pack. "What is it Ultra? Is there something wrong with the eggs?" Jay put the eggs down next to Ultra.
Ultra held out his eyes and the ears began to wiggle. Ultra pointed at the egg and jumped up and down.
Jay, Dee, and Agua bent down and put their ears next to the eggs. All at once they cried, "I hear something!"
* * * *
"What's going on?" asked Mike.
"Yeah Fire Kat, we can't see anything," said Nick.
"Especially since you have the only pair of binoculars in our group!" shouted Kelly.
"Hold your Ponyta," growled Fire Kat. "It seems the trio has stopped. They're looking at the egg!"
"Shouldn't they be hatching soon?" asked Mike.
"Yeah, and what are they gonna hatch into?" asked Nick.
"Why are you two always asking questions?" wondered Kelly.
Fire Kat rolled his eyes. "If they are going to hatch soon, they'd make perfect new Pokémon for Team Rocket." Fire Kat put down the binoculars. "Looks like it is time to contact the boss!"
Team Rocket swiftly moved to their small laptop and dialed up the boss's phone number. Teria's pictured appeared in front of them.
"What do you four want?" asked Teria. "I'm in the middle of some important training."
Fire Kat stared at the screen for a moment. "Hey, aren't those Pokémon toys on your desk, sir?"
Teria turned red and knocked down the toys of his desk. "What do you want!"
"Those eggs of Barial's are hatching, sir," answered Kelly. "We're ready to steal them, we just wanted to inform you."
"Why would I want a bunch of baby Pokémon running around my base?" asked Teria. "Give me one good reason."
"Weren't those Pokémon Eggs, the same eggs that Jay stole from you?" reminded Fire Kat. "It'd be a shame if, well, Jay hatched your eggs."
"Fine," said Teria. "Team Rocket, you must get those eggs, and if you don't, you'll be Team Scrubbing for a week. Next week's theme is bathrooms." Teria nodded. "And, Kike, Mick, and Nelly will be accompanying you."
"What!" cried Team Rocket. "Why!"
"I've decided to merge both Team Rocket and Group Missile," answered Teria. "Since the plan for dividing them up isn't working, I'm going to focus on one continent at a time. The new group of master Pokémon thieves is now officially Group Rocket."
Chapter Two: Mission - Eggs
"Haunter, Mew, and Psycho, my young Pokémon leaders," growled The Master of the evil Pokémon, in their lair. "How disappointed I am. You three have both failed me, along with your trainees."
"We are sorry, master," all three Pokémon said at once.
"Mew, you have failed me too many times." The Master's eyes turned a deep red. "You are no longer my second in command."
Mew looked down sadly at the ground. "Yes, my master."
"Mewtwo will be taking your place," said The Master. "Mewtwo has been away in training, trying to become the until commander. I believe he shall not fail. He won't be returning until later though, so I will be ordering you three."
"What is that you wish, master?" asked Psycho.
"It's Jay Barial and Pokémon Eggs," explained The Master. "These are the eggs which will surely destroy a great number of our Pokémon. If these eggs hatch in the hands of Jay that is. If they are obtained with us, we shall make them the new rulers of our nation."
{What if they don't end up in our hands, or in Jay's hands?} asked Haunter.
"Fate has it so they will end up us or him," growled The Master. "There is nothing that will happen that can change this fate. It is destiny!"
"Okay," said the three other Pokémon, all a little confused.
"So, I want you three to capture the eggs, so I can control them," ordered The Master. "But this will not be easy. One of Jay's allies is near, and Team Rocket and their rivals have joined forces. This will just make it even more harder us."
"Well have additional troops in case anything happens, correct master?" asked Mew.
"Of course," said The Master. "The commanders, Charizard, Golem, and Vileplume are awaiting your orders." Their master smirked. "Plus, I have the perfect bait: those idiots always help Pokémon that are injured, even if they are evil . . ."
* * * *
Mike, Nick, Kelly, and Fire Kat all sighed as they turned off the computer.
"How could they team us up with those three idiots!" cried Mike.
"It could be worse," muttered Fire Kat. "I've been stuck with you three for over 27 episodes-"
WHACK!
Kelly hit Fire Kat with a fan (I dunno where the fan came from) in the face, harming the poor Pokémon.
"I see that light," murmured Fire Kat.
"Shut up," grumbled Nick.
Suddenly, a dark cloud covered over Team Rocket. It seemed like the shadow was in the shape of a giant Fearow. Team Rocket glanced up and saw it was a Fearow-shaped jet, similar to the one they had.
"Someone stole our plane!" shouted Kelly. She selected a Poké Ball and threw it onto the ground. "Go, Alakazam!"
Alakazam appeared in front of Team Rocket, ready to attack.
"Psychic attack, blow up that plane!" commanded Kelly.
Alakazam turned around towards Kelly and used its psytoss on Kelly. Alakazam sent Kelly slamming into one tree, then the other. Basically, it wasn't pretty.
The Fearow plan slowly landed and the door opened up.
Mike, Nick, Alakazam, and Fire Kat slowly turned around. Kelly was knocked out in front of a tree.
Suddenly, three figures stepped out of the plane.
Chapter Three: The Injured Golem
"Does anyone else feel like we just missed something," murmured Jay, as he picked up one of the eggs and began to walk.
"Yeah," agreed Dee, picking up the second egg.
"Probably, it seems that author guy has been making us miss a lot," muttered Agua, as she picked up the last egg.
With Fire Orb hovering next to Dee and Ultra at Jay's side, the group all headed towards Sparse Town where they hoped for Jay to achieve a new badge for his collection.
But as they were walking, Ultra slowly stopped and glanced around. His ears wiggled as he tried to look and hear something.
Jay stopped and turned around. "What is it Ultra?"
"You hear it Fire Orb?" asked Dee.
"Orb." Fire Orb shook his head.
Ultra suddenly gasped and the mouse Pokémon quickly darted away into the bushes.
"Ultra, wait!" shouted Jay.
Agua moaned. "I wasn't built to run, nor was Jay, I was built to battle." She sighed and began running after Jay and Ultra.
"I'm in shape." Dee darted after Jay, Agua, and Ultra, with her Fire Orb at her side.
* * * *
It wasn't long before Jay caught up with Ultra. The two were running and entered a giant clearing. All around the clearing were tons of Pokémon looking at something in the center of the field.
"Oh . . . my god," murmured Jay.
"Ra," agreed Ultra.
In the center of the field lay and badly injured Golem, a fully evolved Geodude, that appeared to have scratches and scars everywhere. The Golem had been badly burned, Jay could tell because the rock Pokémon still had a tint of a red aura around it. The Golem was lying on its side moaning and groaning.
"So that's what Ultra heard," murmured Agua, as she, Dee, and Fire Orb came walking up from behind Jay and Ultra.
Ultra nodded.
"What should we do?" asked Jay.
"If it's hurt this bad, a Pokémon Center may be the best idea," suggested Dee.
Jay nodded and leaped forward. "I shall bring this Golem back with me to the nearest Pokémon Center! Let's go Ultra!"
Ultra leaped forward.
"Hypnosis," ordered Jay.
"Tra . . . ra . . . tra . . . ra." Ultra sent hypnotic waves from his cheeks onto the Golem, putting the rock Pokémon to sleep.
Jay smirked. "Now, let's do it. Super Ball go- Oops."
"What?" asked Dee and Agua.
Jay chuckled. "I'm all out of Super Balls and Super Balls 2. Oh well, I'll always use my Poké Balls! Poké Ball go- I'm out of those too."
Dee rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Super Ball- oh yeah, I'm out too. Maybe we should buy some when we reached Sparse Town."
"Maybe I could be of some assistance." A strange shadowy figure (they're always "shadowy figures") walked into sight. "Ultra Ball, go!"
The Golem was in cased within the advanced Poké Ball, and the ball shot back towards the person.
"Jason!" said Jay.
Chapter Four: The Return of Jason
"Jason!" cried Dee and Agua.
"Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, and Ultra!" said Jason. He walked over to his old friends. "What are you guys doing here, and not on the Arachnid Island?"
"Homesick," explained Dee. "As much fun as the island was, Jay had to earn some more badges, if he ever gets into the Pokémon League."
Jay sniffled then looked at the ground. He began to whine, "I will too get into the league."
"Shut up Jay." Agua grabbed Jay by the arm and Ultra followed. "Dee and Jason need to have some alone time."
Jason looked up seriously. "Unfortunately, we won't have time for talking. This Golem is badly injured, and we'll need to bring it too the nearest Pokémon Center. The closest one is at Star's Falls."
Jay nodded. "We have to save the Pokémon. And fast."
Dee smirked. "Well, if it's fast you want, then it's fast you'll get! Articuno! Fearow!" She threw two balls up into the air and out of the balls flew out her evolved Spearow and the icy Articuno.
Agua got on Fearow, while Dee, Jason, and Fire Orb climbed aboard her Articuno.
"I'll use my own Pokémon! I choose you, Winger!" Jay threw a Super Ball into the air, and out flew his mix between Pidgeot and Fearow. He climbed onto the back of his Pokémon, with Ultra in his hands. "Let's go!"
* * * *
It wasn't long before they reached Star's Falls, and the group of birds landed. They quickly climbed off, awaiting the usual arrival of the Pokémon Center's Pokémon checking to see what's wrong.
"That's weird, not Pokémon," said Jay.
"No, wait, there's a Charizard." Jason pointed upwards and up in the sky was the center's Charizard flying around.
The Charizard looked around and saw the group. It suddenly unleashed its flamethrower attack on the group.
"Ultra, light screen attack," ordered Jay.
"Tra!" Ultra leaped forward and held out his hand. Using his psychic abilities, he created an invisible wall and blocked the fire.
"Articuno, ice beam!" commanded Dee.
"Ar!" Articuno shot a beam of ice at the Charizard and the flame Pokémon froze over.
Then, a Vileplume shot out from a bush and shot sleep powder at the group.
Jay jumped off Winger and quickly commanded, "Winger, whirlwind!"
Winger flapped his wings and sent the dust back towards the plant Pokémon and the creature began freaking out.
"Drill peck," commanded Dee to her Fearow.
"Fear!" Fearow went spinning towards Vileplume, beak first, and slammed into the plant Pokémon.
"I'm sorry, Vileplume, Charizard, return to the center this instant," ordered a nurse standing in the doorway.
The two Pokémon quickly ushered into the door.
"I'm sorry my Pokémon were disturbing you, they've been on really high alert since there are some super strong Pokémon beating up weaker Pokémon in these parts," said the nurse. "They probably thought they were you."
"Not us," said Jay.
"Please, come in, I'm sure your Pokémon need some resting," said the nurse.
Chapter Five: A Special Offer
Jay, Dee, Agua, Jason, Fire Orb, and Ultra all walked into the center.
"Well, actually, we found one of the injured Pokémon and thought we should give it the center for treating," said Jason. "It was in really bad shape."
As the group entered the center, it was virtually empty. No other trainers were around, no Pokémon were rushing in and out of the area with sick Pokémon.
"Slow day," murmured Jay.
"I don't have that many Pokémon around here, since I only have a few visitors." The nurse smiled, almost giving what seemed to be a forced smile. "Where is the Golem?"
Jason handed the nurse the Poké Ball.
The nurse smiled. "Have you seen our special for the day." She walked away into the back to start to treat the Golem.
Jay, Dee, Agua, and Jason crowded around the poster, reading what it said, while Ultra and Fire Orb waited for their trainers to read it to them.
"Attention all Pokémon trainers," read Jay. "It is now egg laying season, and all Pokémon trainers carrying eggs may drop them off here for safe keeping."
"We will raise and hatch the eggs for you, so they won't hatch during an important battle, and such," finished Dee. "This is free, so please bring your eggs A.S.A.P."
Jay took out his three eggs again. "Well, they could break. Then the Pokémon inside would die." He took a deep breath as he began to think.
Suddenly, the nurse appeared again. "It seems your Golem is in pretty bad shape. It may be in the center for awhile."
Jason sighed. "Okay."
"Excuse me, miss," said Jay. He held out the three Pokémon eggs. "I'd like it if you took care of my eggs while I was in training."
The nurse smiled. "Of course I will." She took the eggs and turned around. Before she left she asked, "Where are you heading?"
"Sparse Town," answered Jay.
"If you want to take the shortcut to Sparse Town, you should take the left route, not the right route," said the nurse. She smiled and walked into the back of the Pokémon center.
Jay sighed. "Well, I feel like I have a load off my hands, don't you guys."
"Sure," murmured Dee, Agua, and Jason.
Ultra shook his head, but Jay didn't notice.
"We better contact Professor Oak Jr.," suggested Jay. "I haven't contacted him for awhile, there may be some important stuff or information he needs to give me."
"Like what?" asked Dee curiously.
"Some advice one raising young Pokémon," explained Jay. "Mainly three young Pokémon." He quickly headed to the Pokémon Center's video phone and called up the lab in Meager Village.
Chapter Six: Upgrade
Jay dialed up Professor Oak Jr.'s number, and the familiar face of Meager Village's professor popped up on the screen.
"Hey Professor Oak," said Jay. "How are you?"
"I'm doing great!" said the professor. "How's your journey going?"
"Good." He smirked. "My Pokémon eggs are going to hatch soon, plus I'm heading to Sparse Town to earn a badge, and all together I have 14 Pokémon!"
"Very good Barial," said Professor Oak Jr. "Unfortunately, Blake is doing much better than you. He has at least 35 Pokémon caught, and has seen nearing 75 Pokémon."
Jay frowned. "How do you know?"
"I scanned his Pokédex," answered the professor.
Jay smiled brightly. "Can you do that for me too?"
"Sure," said the professor. "You're just in luck too, I've been working on a new beta version of Pokédex 5.5. There may still be a few glitches. This version has new information on Pokémon, a new voice, and somewhat of a personality with the mix of a its knowledge of Pokémon."
"Cool," said Jay. "Anything else?"
The professor thought for a moment. "Yes, I'd also like you to try an experiment for me. I have just received a proto-type 'master ball' from Oak Labs."
"Cool," repeated Jay, getting a little anxious to go.
"It's called the Mecha Ball," said Professor Oak Jr. "A totally mechanical Poké Ball, that will latch itself shut, in casing the Pokémon. I want you to find the strongest Pokémon around and attempt to catch it with the Mecha Ball."
"Anything else?" asked Jay.
"Two things," said Professor Oak Jr. "I'm trying to an ultimate potion, that'll cure things beyond physical harm, like poisoning, to mental harm like confusion. In order to complete this, I need the leaf of the Boda Plant, a rare plant that only grows in the original Celadon City."
"Intersting," mumbled Jay. "We'll head to Celadon City after I finish to fight at Sparse Town."
"You're challenging the leader in Sparse Town." Professor Oak Jr. whistled. "Good luck. I'm sure your two gym leader friends will be of some use."
"We will," agreed Dee and Agua.
Jay inserted his Pokédex into the video phone and within several seconds it popped back out.
"Now I'll send the Mecha Ball," said the professor.
Jay walked over to the transporter and waited for the Mecha Ball to arrive. There was a flash of light and a strange mechanical, metal, Poké Ball appeared. Jay picked it up and put it in his back pack. He walked back over to the video phone.
"The second thing is, when are you going to get the rest of your Pokémon under control!" In the background, Jay saw Tuffy rampaging through the lab, Venustoise freezing something, and Fighter breaking something. Flamed was in the way back burning something. Suddenly, the line went dead.
Jay sighed. "Too much work . . ."
* * * *
As the group took the left path to Sparse Town, they decided to question Jason about why he was in their home continent.
"Why am I here?" asked Jason. "Well, after our battle with Agatha, I felt alone. Since my Ratorino was my first Pokémon, and I only had Ratoqueen left, I decided to go back to my hometown to inform my father what had happened to Ratorino. My father directed me to Lavender Town, where trainers officially let their Pokémon rest in peace, but was destroyed to make room for a radio tower. There was a small part of the town where a few trainers had graves for their Pokémon. I informed them that they could go on training, and that's what their Pokémon wanted. They said they couldn't do it alone, so I offered them to see how I finally got over Ratorino."
"How did you get over Ratorino?" asked Jay.
"That's how," replied Jason. "That story."
"So, you were let a master of a pack of young trainers," said Dee. "Where are they? There weren't people with you when you appeared before us."
"I was heading back home, and I told them it was time for them to challenge a gym to see if they're strength was at its peak again," explained Jason.
"Touching story," said an annoying voice from far above.
Jay, Dee, Agua, Jason, Fire Orb, and Ultra all glanced up and a shadow of a Fearow-shaped plane went over the group.
Chapter Seven: Group Rocket
Jay yawned. "Not again, it's Team Rocket."
"Do they ever get bored of this?" wondered Jason.
"I'm already bored," replied Dee.
"Oh well, might as well hear the motto one more time," mumbled Agua.
"But this time, you'll be hearing a new motto," said a familiar voice over the speakers that Jay couldn't exactly remember. "So that means trouble's on its way!"
"You and your friends shall lose today," said a second voice over the speakers.
"There aren't any rules in our battles," said a third voice over the speakers.
"Once you lose you will be rattled," said a forth voice over the speakers.
"Your defeat will be our success," said a fifth voice over the speakers.
"We'll beat all the rest," said a six voice over the speakers.
"It's time a new band of thieves to arise," said a Pokémon over the speakers. "So get ready to open your eyes!"
"Kike!" Kike jumped out of the plane, with a parachute on his back.
"Mike!" Mike swiftly jumped after Kike.
"Mick!" Mick followed Mike and Kike.
"Nick!" Nick leaped forward next to Mick.
"Nelly!" Nelly jumped quickly after her other friends.
"Kelly!" Kelly was the last of her comrades to jump out.
"Fire Kat! That's right," said a familiar voice of a Fire Kat from the speakers of the plane. "Group Rocket will launch off at the speed of light, light, light! You've defeated us in the past, but now we'll win this . . ."
"Fight!" said all seven thieves.
"Anyone else completely shocked?" whispered Jay to his friends.
* * * *
"My lord," said Mew up in the clouds, contacting his master. "We have obtained the eggs. Our missions is a success."
"Unfortunately, it is not," said Mew's master. "It appears that Jay and his friends are being ambushed by a combination of Team Rocket and those stronger fools, Group Missile."
"So?" asked Mew.
"They'll be after the eggs," replied The Master. "With all thirteen of them after us, we wouldn't stand a chance. You must distract them so we'll have an easy escape."
"Right," said Mew. "This 'Group Rocket' will weaken them and then my troops will swoop in for the kill."
* * * *
"Did I miss something?" asked Jay.
"Well twurp, Teria has decided that our group of thieves would be stronger if we banded together," explained Fire Kat. "Now Team Rocket and Group Missile have united to stop you and your weak Pokémon! Do it Rockets!"
"Go, Gaser!" ordered Mike.
"Let's go, Snake Glare," commanded Nick.
"Let's do it, Alakazam," said Kelly.
"I choose you, Flamed," ordered Kike.
"Come on out, Haunter," shouted Mick.
"Your turn, Raichu," shouted Nelly.
"And don't forget me!" Fire Kat leaped forward.
Group Rocket's Pokémon appeared before them, ready to attack.
"This should be fun." Jay smirked and selected a Super Ball. "One more time, Winger! I choose you, Ultra!"
"Whirlpool, Ice Orb, we need you!" said Agua.
"Articuno, Fire Orb!" ordered Dee.
"Ratoqueen, let's do this," said Jason.
All of the other's Pokémon appeared in front of Group Rocket's, ready to battle.
Kelly smirked. "Look's like this will be the final showdown."
Chapter Eight: Group Rocket's Attack
"Winger, ultra gust," commanded Jay. "Ultra, thunder shocker now! Aim towards Gaser and Snake Glare!"
"Gaser, toxic," ordered Mike.
"Glare attack," said Nick.
"Whirlpool, water wave attack on Alakazam," commanded Agua. "Ice Orb, arctic freeze on Flamed!"
"Alakazam, psychic attack," commanded Kelly.
"Flamed, holy fire attack," said Kike.
"Articuno, use your blizzard on Haunter!" ordered Dee. "Fire Orb, fire blast attack Raichu!"
"Haunter, night shade," ordered Mick.
"Raichu, thunder!" shouted Nelly.
"You can beat that cat, stomp attack!" ordered Jason.
"Oh yeah," sneered Fire Kat. "I can use my fire blast attack on your stupid Ratoqueen!"
"Gas!" wheezed Gaser. Gaser poured poisonous gases around Winger and Ultra, but Winger's ultra gust whirled the gases back towards Gaser and the impact of the gust hit the gaseous Pokémon.
"Snake glare!" growled Snake Glare. His eyes flashed a bright color, and that dark look paralyzed Ultra.
"Ultra tra . . . ra!" Even though Ultra was stuck in position, Ultra sent a blast of electricity at Snake Glare, paralyzing the serpent Pokémon.
Kike's Flamed created a large wall of fire around the dragon Pokémon, coming from his tail, and the fire went into the dragon's mouth. Flamed shot a triangular blast of fire at Ice Orb, but Ice Orb froze the blast of fire with its arctic freeze attack. Then, Ice Orb's arctic freeze went at Flamed and froze the dragon.
"Ala . . ." Alakazam used his psychic powers to begin to toss around Whirlpool, but suddenly the psychic Pokémon noticed Kelly. Alakazam dropped Whirlpool, and began tossing Kelly again.
"Whirl," grumbled Whirlpool. Whirlpool opened up a slit in his mouth and a big gush of water, shaped as a wave, went towards Alakazam drowning the Pokémon.
"Haunter," growled Haunter. The ghost Pokémon hovered up into the sky, casting a dark shadow over Articuno and sent a ripple of ghastly energy at Dee's bird.
Luckily, Articuno's blizzard was faster and quickly froze Haunter.
"Chu!" Raichu sent a blast of electricity up towards Dee's Fire Orb.
"Orb!" Fire Orb sent a star-shaped blast of fire at Nelly's Raichu.
The two attacks hit and the impact sent the two Pokémon flying backwards.
"Take this!" Fire Kat inhaled and then sent a star-shaped blast of fire towards Jason's Ratoqueen.
The blast of fire hit the giant rat in the face. Ratoqueen walked over to Fire Kat and stomped the ground next to the feline. The rumbling of the ground was so strong it sent Fire Kat flying upwards.
"Rat," moaned Ratoqueen, as she fell down in pain.
* * * *
A smile that no one could see under Mew's nose slowly appeared. "Well, well, well, their Pokémon are pooped. Now, they and their pocket monster are mine! Haunter, Psycho, get over here now!"
Haunter and Psycho teleported themselves to Mew's hideout up high in the sky, surrounded by clouds.
"What?" asked Haunter and Psycho.
"Jay, Dee, Agua, Fire Orb, Ultra, Mike, Nick, Kelly, and Fire Kat are all in the same place, and their Pokémon are weakened," explained Mew. "In addition, we have Jason, Kike, Mick, and Nelly to worry."
"Nothing that Psycho can't handle," growled Psycho.
{I'll give them a ghastly message,} Haunter sneered.
Mew gave an evil smirk. "Make that double for me."
Chapter Nine: The Evil Pokémon's Move
Silence filled the battle area for a moment. All of the twurps' Pokémon and Group Rocket's Pokémon were too pooped to do anything.
"Anyone else tired?" asked Jay.
There was a series of agreements to Jay's question.
"Okay, it's time for round 2," replied Jay. "Ultra, Winger, return!"
"Return!" shouted Dee, Agua, Jason, Mike, Nick, Kelly, Kike, Mick, and Nelly, as they all recalled their Pokémon.
Ultra and Fire Orb slowly crawled over to their trainers.
"I don't think so! Go, Rhyoran!" Nick threw a Super Ball in front of Ultra and Fire Orb and out charged a giant rock Pokémon. "Take down attack."
Jay rolled his eyes. "Ultra, psyblast!"
Ultra began to glow a bright red and suddenly blast of psychic energy went straight for the charging Rhyoran badly damaged the poison-rock Pokémon. The powerful psychic attack left Ultra weak.
"Fine then, Marowak go!" ordered Mick. "Marowak, bonemerang!"
"Fire Orb, raging fire attack," commanded Dee.
"Wak!" growled Marowak, as he threw his bone towards Fire Orb.
The two attacks went straight towards each other when suddenly there was a giant flash of light. When the light cleared, three Pokémon were hovering in front of Jay and the others in a protective bubble.
"It's Mew, Haunter, and Psycho," growled Jay.
"You say their names like you know them," murmured Jason.
"These are the three Pokémon that have been causing us grave trouble," explained Jay. "They are the ones that were controlling Agatha/Gengar, Feargost, and Psyghost."
The Mew simply smirked. From above, a giant shadow cast upon the group and tons of Charizard, with Vileplume and Golem on their back, landed.
"Well it seems we have a three way battle for the same thing," growled Kelly. "Jay's Pokémon eggs!"
Jay thought for a moment. "I don't have the eggs. I gave them to the nurse at the Pokémon Center with her Charizard and Vileplume . . ." It slowly dawned to Jay that the injured Golem . . . the Charizard and Vileplume that had attacked them outside of the center . . . it was all part of Mew's trick! "They already have the eggs! It's them, from the Pokémon Center!"
Dee frowned. "Great. You'll need to get the eggs before the evil Pokémon get them!"
Jay nodded. "Right! I choose you, Morpher!" Jay threw a Super Ball onto ground and Jay's transforming Pokémon appeared. "Transform into Lugia!"
"Morph!" Morpher quickly changed its shape and turned into the legendary water-bird Pokémon.
Jay, Jason, and Ultra hopped on. "Let's go!"
"We can hold them off for you Jay!" growled Dee. "Psybird, Feargost, Auqtrias, stop them now!"
Chapter Ten: Return to the Center
"Right! Waver, Gyaraonix, we need you!" commanded Agua.
Dee and Agua's giant Pokémon appeared from their Super Balls, appearing right in front of their trainers.
Fire Kat frowned. "We'll need get those eggs from Jay and Jason! Come on." Fire Kat whipped out a remote control and their Fearow plane lowered to the ground. "Get in Group Rocket!"
All seven of them entered the plane, and took off.
"Dee, Agua, and Fire Orb aren't the real threat here," growled Mew. "All Pokémon, head back to the center! We'll need to stop Jay, Jason, and Ultra!"
Mew, Haunter, and Psycho all disappeared, but their Pokémon rampaged straight towards Jay and Jason.
"I'll get Group Rocket!" Dee climbed on Auqtrias. "Come on birds, let's go!"
"Right!" Agua climbed onto Gyaraonix's back. "Let's go guys, after those Pokémon! We can catch them!"
* * * *
Jay, Jason, and Ultra landed in front of the strange Pokémon.
"Morpher, transform into Arcanine," commanded Jay. "Find out where they went by sniffing for the nurse's scent!"
"Those eggs are important to you," said Jason. "I guess Mew and those other Pokémon have another purpose for those eggs." Jason thought for a moment about Mew taking care of a baby Pokémon. "Kinda scary."
The transformed Morpher walked into the center. After sniffing around, Arcanine headed outside to Star's Falls.
"Great, they've decided to take the sea route." Jay sighed. "Morpher, transform into Gyarados!"
"Morph, morpher morph!" Morpher changed from Arcanine and changed into the giant sea serpent, Gyarados.
Jason sighed. "I'm sorry, but I realize I'm just going to be slowing you down by joining you." Jason looked upward. "But, I may have something that could help us." He turned around. "Jay, I'll be back with help. We'll get your eggs back."
Jay smiled. "Thank you Jason." Jay and Ultra hopped on Morpher. "We hope to see you again soon."
Jason was beginning to dart off, when suddenly a blast of fire ignited the Pokémon Center.
Jay and Jason gasped as a group of Charizard was trying to fry Jay with their flamethrower attack.
"Morpher, hyrdo pumps," ordered Jay.
"Morph!" Morpher shot a giant blast of water at the Charizard, but then the Vileplume were coming up with their deadly petal dance.
"Jay!" shouted Jason. "Was that Golem still inside the Pokémon Center?"
Jay shrugged. "Was the Golem in there Morpher?"
Morpher nodded.
"Grrr," growled Jay. "Dang. Alright, Jason head into the Pokémon Center. I can hold off these guys!" Jay selected two Super Balls. "Psyghost, Wurm, go!" Psyghost and Wurm appeared from their Super Balls right next to Morpher. "Morpher, hyrdo pumps! Psyghost, psyblast attack! Wurm, dragon rage!"
Jason nodded and rushed inside the burning building.
* * * *
"Ratoqueen, go!" shouted Jason inside the burning building. He selected his only Pokémon Super Ball and threw it onto the ground and out appeared the giant poison/ground rat Pokémon "Protect me Ratoqueen, make sure I don't get hit."
"Rat!" growled Ratoqueen loudly.
Jason darted inside the building, searching everywhere, but it seemed impossible for Jason to find the Golem.
"Of course, the back room!" said Jason. He ran towards the back room's door, and went he turned the knob he began screaming. "Hot! Hot, hot, hot!" Jason smirked. "Ram down the door!"
"Queen," growled Ratoqueen. She charged straight at the door and smashed revealing deadly fires from the back room.
Jason took a deep breath and ran into the burning room.
Inside was the injured Golem lying on a table with flames all around it.
"Golem, are you okay!" shouted Jason. He slowly walked towards the giant rock, when a piece of the building fell. "Golem!"
"Gol," grumbled the Golem. It slowly curled up and rolled over to Jason.
"I'm sorry what those Pokémon have done to you, come!" shouted Jason. "Ratoqueen, I'll be okay. Make sure Golem makes it okay!"
"Rat," agreed Ratoqueen.
The three headed out of the center.
Chapter Eleven: Bad News
Agua's Waver and Gyaraonix couldn't keep up with the evil Pokémon. They appeared to be super-charged with strength and speed, since they were so fast. Or maybe Agua's Pokémon just weren't fast enough.
"Jay will need our help anyway," said Agua. "We have to hurry! Full speed ahead!" Agua sighed and hoped Dee was doing her part up in the sky.
* * * *
Dee, holding Fire Orb in her arms, flew up high in the sky, trying to catch up with Group Rocket's Fearow plane, but it seemed really fast.
"Feargost, Psybird, Auqtrias, full speed ahead!" ordered Dee. "Use all your agility to speed up and catch that plane.
"Gost," growled Feargost.
"Psy," agreed Psybird.
"A," said Auqtrias.
After using all their strength, the two birds soon were catching up to the Fearow jet.
"Feargost, light shade," ordered Dee. "Psybird, psyblast attack! Auqtrias, air beam, now!"
* * * *
"It seems that Dee and her birdies are getting ready to destroy our plane," growled Kelly. "What are we gonna do Rockets?"
"Simple," replied Nelly. "Since we joined the group, we've had Fire Kat install an absorbing shields, powered by your Alakazam."
Fire Kat jumped up next to Kelly and grabbed Alakazam's Poké Ball. "Get out of there now Alakazam!" Fire Kat threw Kelly's Poké Ball and out popped her giant Alakazam. "Alakazam, I commanded you to power up the jet with your psychic energy, or we're going bye-bye!"
"Ala," agreed Alakazam. "Ka zam!" Alakazam sent a ton of his psychic energy into the jet, and a shield slowly covered the plane.
* * * *
A blast of psychic energy, a beam of winds, and a blast of ghastly energy went straight for the Fearow plane. But when the blasts hit the plane, what seemed to be a shield began glowing brightly.
"Group Rocket absorbed the attack," whispered Dee.
* * * *
"Alright, sent the air beam back at them," commanded Nick.
"That'll show 'em," sneered Mick.
"You got it!" Fire Kat pulled a lever and the Fearow-plane's tail began to glow and it shot an air beam straight towards Dee's three Pokémon. Everyone knew the air beam of Auqtrias and Auqtrias was nearly a KO on any Pokémon.
* * * *
Suddenly, the Fearow plane sent Auqtrias air beam back at Dee and her Pokémon. The attack knocked out Dee's Pokémon and they went hurling towards the ground.
* * * *
"Once we land we can capture Dee and her Pokémon for Teria," growled Kike.
Mike looked outside in the window. "It seems that little Agua is trying to catch up with the evil Pokémon. Well guys, how about it, shall we send the psyblast and the light shade at her?"
"Yeah!" said Fire Kat. He jumped up and pulled another lever.
* * * *
As Agua continued riding on her Gyaraonix, she noticed a giant shadow covering her and her Pokémon.
"Group Rocket's Fearow plane!" cried Agua. She frowned. "Gyaraonix, stop it with your hyper beam attack! Waver, hyrdo pumps!"
Her two Poké shot their powerful attacks at the plane, but the Fearow plane just seemed to absorb it. Then, the plane shot a blast of psychic energy and a light screen at Agua's two Pokémon. The blast sent the Pokémon and Agua flying.
Then, the plane shot a hyper beam at them.
"No!" cried Agua.
The beam went straight for Gyaraonix and Agua . . .
* * * *
"Yes!" cried Fire Kat. "It's a hit! We have the girls. They'll be perfect bait to get Jay and his eggs."
Chapter Twelve: The Search Continues
Jay wasn't sure how, but he managed to defeat the evil Pokémon. Even though it seemed like a lot of Pokémon in the beginning, it only ended up being a few, with the help of Jason and his newly acquired Golem.
"You okay Jay?" asked Jason, he had a bad burn mark on his hand.
"I'm fine." Jay bent down and picked up Ultra and rocked his small Pokémon back and forth. "Ultra's been better though."
Jason nodded. "So has Golem and Ratoqueen." He fished around in his pocket. "I may have some potion left for you and your Ultra." He handed Jay a small bottle. "It's super potion, your Ultra should be fine pretty soon."
"What about Golem and Ratoqueen?" asked Jay.
"They're strong, they'll make it." Jason smiled. "If I hadn't saved Golem, it wouldn't have trusted me and defected like your Psyghost." Jason smiled and gave Golem a wink.
{Ever so true Jason,} Psyghost agreed.
Jay took the potion from Jason and sprayed some on Ultra. Ultra suddenly smiled and gave Jay a small hug. "Ultra, you're all better."
Jason sighed. "Golem, Ratoqueen, return!"
"Psyghost, Wurm, return!" ordered Jay. He hoped onto Morpher's back, that was still a Gyarados, and Ultra leaped up too.
They saw Jason walk off, acting like he was ready for anything.
"All right, Morpher, let's like ride down this water fall," said Jay. "Let's go!"
Morpher dived down into the waterfall.
* * * *
"Why did you pull back!" growled The Master to Mew, Haunter, and Psycho.
"Master, the nurse easily got away without Jay catching up," explained Psycho. "It would have been a waste of troops for them to keep on battling Jay. We made it so it appeared Jay defeated us."
Mew, Haunter, and Psycho were talking to their master in Mew's hideout up high in the sky.
"But you're wrong," growled The Master. "Look!" An image of Jay riding down on his transformed Morpher appeared before them. "Jay is catching up to our nurse as we speak. And I sense another threat arising."
{Whatever it is, we can handle it,} growled Haunter.
"We have a new enemy in our midst," murmured their master. "It's a simple task: stop Jay and his Ultra."
* * * *
"You contact me, and yet you don't have the eggs yet!" growled Teria. Boss Rocket was talking to Group Rocket from inside their plane.
"But, we're almost done!" said Mike.
"As you can see, we've capture Dee, Agua, and that Fire Orb you wanted!" Kike turned around and showed their master Dee and Agua tied up, and Fire Orb in a cage.
"What does this have to do with the eggs!" growled Teria.
"Jay will want to rescue his friends," explained Nick.
"In order to do that he'll have to make a simple trade," continued Mick.
"Ultra and the eggs for his friends," finished Kelly.
"A perfect plan for the perfect group of thieves," said Nelly boldly.
"Perfect?" whispered Fire Kat to Nelly.
Nelly shrugged. "It sounded like a good idea."
"If you do not capture the eggs soon, you'll all be demoted," warned Teria.
"We won't fail you!" said Group Rocket.
Group Rocket has Dee, Agua, and Fire Orb, the evil Pokémon are hot on Jay's trail, and Jay's eggs are missing! Now, with the help of his old friend Ultram, Jay must get the eggs back before they hatch in the wrong hands! Will Jay get to the eggs in time? Find out in The Scrambled Eggs!
