Episode XXXII
It's Dragon-Time
Jay Barial
Chapter One: The Mysterious Village
Jay slowly climbed over the fallen tree as the group proceeded to the Imitate Kingdom.
"This isn't right," mumbled Jay. "We need to rest."
Ultram sighed. "We've only been walking been walking for five hours, and just took a brake ten minutes ago. You are such a wimp!"
"Pi chu pi!" laughed Ultram's Pichu.
"La tra!" Litatra used his psychic powers to hover up behind Pichu and hit the baby Pikachu on the head.
Pichu's eyes began watering and suddenly began crying.
Jay smirked. "Ha-ha!"
Dee and Agua both sighed. "Boys will be boys."
Jay finished climbing over the fallen tree and said, "When do we get out of this forest, again?"
"As I've already said, check your Pokédex," said Dee.
Jay frowned. "I don't wanna. It'll start talking again. And it's so annoying!"
"I can hear you from in here!" shouted the Pokédex. "I can't hear you well, but I can still hear you! If you wanna see a map I'd be glad to show you . . . as-"
"Hey!" said Jay. "Remember what I said."
"Those who don't swear, get to live another day," replied the Pokédex from his pocket. "You're almost to the center of Dragon Pass, where there's a big field, and lake."
"Really!" said Jay happily.
"No," replied the Pokédex. "More woods, but at least you're in the center of the woods."
Jay started whining and crying. "Why do these things have to happen to me?"
"Ha-ha," said Ultram.
"Orb, fire orb," muttered Fire Orb.
"What'd he say?" asked Agua.
"Sad, so sad," translated Dee.
While everyone was focusing and the whining Jay, there was a loud screech.
"MEW!"
"Ul ult!" cried Ultra.
Jay looked around. "Where's Mewie?"
"Ul ult!" shouted Ultra, jumping up and down. He was pointing towards a small slope.
"Mewie!" cried Jay. He looked down to see Mewie rolling down the hill.
"Pi!" said Pichu happily. He leaped out Ultram's hands and started rolling down the hill.
Litatra smirked. "Lit ta tra." Litatra followed them.
"Mewie! Litatra!" cried Jay.
"Pichu!" shouted Ultram.
"There's only one thing to do!" said Jay.
"Right," agreed Ultram.
Both Dee and Agua sighed. "Here we go."
Pikachu, Ultra, and Fire Orb all nodded in agreement.
Everyone started rolling down the hill.
* * * *
At the foot of the hill, Jay glanced around. Houses and buildings and people filled Jay's eyes. People were everywhere in this little town, around the same size as Meager Village, except in the center of the town was a giant castle.
"Where . . . where are we?" wondered Jay.
A passing woman looked at them. "You're in Hydra Village."
Chapter Two: Their Presents
"Why weren't we in the last episode?" Mike asked Fire Kat.
"Wasn't enough room," the fiery feline replied.
Team Rocket was in their parked Fearow jet, waiting to do something, since they had lost track of Jay and the others.
"Aw," said the rest of Team Rocket.
"Yeah, guys, is anyone else thinking-" Nick began.
Kelly laughed. "You three! Thinking!"
Nick glared. "Let me finish! Is anyone else thinking that Gaser, Smogger, Snake Glare, Rhyoking, Alakazam, Ratorina, and Fire Kat can only do so much."
"What are you getting at?" wondered Fire Kat.
"New Pokémon," said Nick. "We need new material to work with. We haven't caught any new Pokémon since Abra, who stole the others remember."
"Oh yeah," said Mike, Kelly and Fire Kat in unison. "So?"
"So, if we have new Pokémon then we can have a better chance at defeating Jay and capturing his Ultra!" said Nick.
Fire Kat jumped up in agreement. "You're right!" But then Fire Kat thought for a moment. "Wait, that's not right, how the heck can you be right?"
"Wait, wait," said Mike. "We don't have the skills to catch new Pokémon! That's why he isn't right."
Kelly shook her head. "Sometimes it's an embarrassment being on this team."
"What else do you expect?" asked Fire Kat.
"Maybe the boss can lend us some Pokémon!" said Nick. Then he thought for a moment. "Yeah . . . right."
BRING!
Kelly answered their video phone in their jet. "Hello, Team Rocket thieves speaking."
"Well, well, well," said a familiar voice, as the picture was coming through. "Mike, Nick, and Kelly."
"Fire Kat! Can't forget me boss!" said Fire Kat, to Teria.
"Boss." The rest of the group bowed down.
"I have a special threat for the three of you," said Teria, the boss of Team Rocket and Group Missile.
"Is this one of those threats where you make it sound good, but just is really bad?" asked Fire Kat curiously.
Teria thought for a moment. "Eh."
"Ha-ha!" said Fire Kat, walking off.
"I have brand-new for you," said Teria. "I am transferring the three Poké Balls now. Welcome your new Pokémon. For Mike, Gengar, for Nick I have Dugtrio, and for Kelly I have Vileplume."
"What!" cried Fire Kat. "That's their 'eh' fate! I want an 'eh' fate, but instead I got stuck with the three biggest idiots in Team Rocket."
"Power up your Fearow jet Rockets, Jay and the others have been spotted in the rumored Hydra Village. Fly outside of the village and attack them there. Goodbye Team Rocket." Teria hung up.
* * * *
Teria turned around from his video phone in his office at his base. "Well, well, well. It's seems everything is going as plan, master." Teria bowed down.
The strange, shadowy creature nodded in agreement. "I can channel in and focus on their thoughts and see how Jay fights and battles."
"This shall be excellent too," said Teria. "Jay is going up against the ex-Elite Four master, Lance." Teria chuckled. "This should be good." He glanced into the lab where the "experiment" was being made. "Very good."
Chapter Three: Lickitung Chase
Jay, Dee, Agua, Ultram, Fire Orb, Pikachu, Pichu, Mewie, Litatra, and Ultra (my word that took forever) all wandered into the mysterious village called Hydra Village.
"Now all we need to do is head to the Pokémon, make sure our Pokémon are all rested up, and we'll be ready to go," said Dee.
Agua glanced upward. "What's that big castle-like thing in the middle of the village though?"
"President's house, famous person, some rich guy, it could be anyone," said Ultram. "Let's just head to the Pokémon Center."
Jay glanced around as he carried Litatra and Mewie so they wouldn't wandered off again. "Can we get something to eat first, we didn't stop to eat back at Sparse Town, and we haven't had anything to eat for awhile."
Just as Ultram was about to make a smart remark, the group's focus turned to a loud noise that had come from a local bakery.
"Huh?" wondered Ultram.
"Licki!" A strange giant pink Pokémon, with some similarities to a chameleon and with an extremely long tongue, rushed out of the bakery with a bunch of food wrapped in its tongue and some in his arms. As it ran, he was mumbling, "Tung, tung, tung, tung, tung!"
"It's a Lickitung," said Dee.
A man then popped out of the store shouting, "Hey! Give me back my food to stupid thing! You're suppose to be paying me off from the last time you stole!"
"Let me handle one guys." Ultram glanced down at Pikachu. "Do it Pikachu, thunderbolt!"
"Pika pi!" Pikachu jumped forward. "Pika . . . chu!" Pikachu sent a large jolt of electricity at the Lickitung's tail.
"Tung!" Lickitung cried in pain. Because of the shock, the food that Lickitung had wrapped in its mouth went flying upward. Lickitung opened its mouth and ate it, but was still carrying the other food.
"Pikachu, slam attack," said Ultram.
Pikachu darted towards the Lickitung, but it turned around and licked Pikachu, paralyzing the electric mouse.
Ultram frowned. "Fine, Pikachu return!" Ultram recalled his electric mouse back into its Poké Ball, then grabbed a Super Ball. "Ultimate, looks like it's your time. Ultimate, I summon you!" He threw the Super Ball, revealing his first Pokémon.
The Lickitung had already began running again.
"Do it, light screen!" ordered Ultram.
Ultimate nodded and closed his eyes. An invisible screen appeared in front of Lickitung, and the giant Pokémon slammed into it.
"Tung!" cried the pink Pokémon.
"Ultimate, shocker kick," said Ultram.
Lickitung turned around. Its face had become an angry red, and steam was rising. Its perfect escape had become less than perfect. Lickitung launched it's tongue at the incoming Ultimate.
"Teleport," said Ultram, changing the order.
Ultimate flashed, and had disappeared out of thin air. Lickitung was totally confused about where the evolved Ultra had gone.
"Ultimate shocker," said Ultram.
"ULT!" From behind Lickitung, Ultimate sent a mighty shock at the pink chameleon, making it hurl the food upward into the air.
"Psyblast attack," said Ultram.
"Ult ti . . . mate!" Ultimate sent a blast of psychic energy, which made Lickitung go flying backwards.
Lickitung was now really mad. He had lost his food (even though he had already gotten to eat some) and went charging at Ultimate.
"Thunderwave," ordered Ultram.
Ultimate shocked the incoming Lickitung, attempting to paralyze it, but it sadly failed.
"Disable," said Ultram.
"Ult!" Ultimate managed to freeze Lickitung in place.
"Hypnosis," said Ultram.
Hypnotic waves shot from Ultimate's cheeks, putting Lickitung to sleep.
"Poké Ball go!" Ultram threw a Poké Ball, and Lickitung entered the ball. It shook around for acouple of seconds then stopped. Ultram picked up the ball. "And, for the record, Lickitung's mine!"
It should've been me, Jay thought to himself.
Chapter Four: Bye-Bye Hydra Village
"Your Pokémon are back at full health," said the nurse to Jay, Dee, Agua, and Ultram, as the nurse handed back the Poké Balls and Super Balls, plus Litatra, Mewie, Pichu, Ultra, Pikachu and Fire Orb.
Ultra hopped onto Jay's shoulder while Jay picked up Litatra and Mewie hovered next to him. Pikachu stood by Ultram while he picked up the little Pichu. Fire Orb hovered right next to his temporary trainer, Dee.
Agua sniffled. "I feel lonely. I want a Pokémon of my own to hold, or to walk with me, or to hop on my shoulder."
"It's all right," said Ultram. "You'll get a Pokémon like Pikachu or Pichu someday." Ultram turned to the screen. "Maybe even the next episode." Ultram gave a big giant wink.
Jay, Dee, and Agua all looked at Ultram in total confusion. "What the hell are you talking about?"
Ultram looked down at the ground. "You'll see next episode."
Jay took a deep breath. "Where to know?"
"The Imitate Kingdom!" Dee, Agua, and Ultram said in unison.
"Oh . . . right," said Jay. "I knew that. Let's head out!" Jay sighed. "It's a shame this place doesn't have a gym."
"Actually . . ." Jay's Pokédex began.
"All right listen, shut up or I'll burn you," warned Jay.
"Fine, never mind," said the Pokédex. "Go! I hope Team Rocket gets you stuck in a hole or something."
"We aren't leaving yet," said Jay. "Since Ultram caught Lickitung before it ate all the food, we get free food at that bakery."
* * * *
After eating and filling themselves up, Jay, Dee, Agua, Ultram, Fire Orb, Pikachu, Ultra, and the others all headed out of the small town of Hydra Village. As they were leaving, a dark shadow covered over them.
"Oh no, I have that annoyed feeling all of a sudden." He glanced at Agua, then at Ultram, then grabbed his Pokédex. "And it's none of you! I think Team Rocket's coming."
"Prepare for trouble, from our jet," said a voice.
"And you can make that double, double, now that's bet," said another voice.
Jay sighed. "Yup, Team Rocket."
"Hey, Rockets, can you cut this short so we can send you blasting off again," suggested Ultram.
"To protect the world from devastation," said another voice.
"To bind all bad guys within our nation," said the feline.
"To announce the evils of truth and love," said the first voice.
"To extend our reach to the stars above," said the second.
"Mike."
"Nick."
"And Kelly."
"Fiiiiiire Kat, that's right!"
"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 yawned. "Same old same old."
The bottom of their Fearow jet opened up and Mike, Nick, Kelly, and Fire Kat leaped out.
"Pokémon battle time," warned Mike. Mike grabbed two Super Balls and a Poké Ball. "Gaser, Smogger, Gengar!"
"You can do it, Snake Glare, Rhyoking, Dugtrio!" Nick threw two Super Balls and a Poké Ball revealing his fully evolved Pokémon.
"And can't forget you guys! Alakazam, Ratorina, Vileplume!" Kelly threw two Poké Balls and one Super Ball revealing her Pokémon.
"Oh, whoa, Team Rocket got new Pokémon," said Jay. "I'm impressed."
"Really?" wondered Fire Kat, almost happily.
Jay snorted. "No."
Fire Kat flared up in anger. "Get them Rockets!"
Chapter Five: . . . Another Team Rocket Battle
Or Is It?
Ultram smirked. "I summon you, Ultimate, Pikachu, Lickitung!"
"My Pokémon will be you, Articuno, Fire Orb, Sky High!" shouted Dee.
"Can't forget you guys! We need you," said Agua, "Ice Orb, Gyaronix, Whirlpool."
The six Pokémon appeared before Team Rocket's six Pokémon.
"Ultra, you can handle Fire Kat," said Jay.
Mike laughed. "Actually, we're here to steal Ultra only." He glanced at his new Pokémon. "Gengar, mind control Alakazam so he listens to Kelly."
Dee chuckled. "So sad . . ."
"Gar." Gengar closed his eyes, and made Alakazam act like a total, obedient solider.
"Light screen," ordered Kelly.
Alakazam created an invisible wall, blocking off Dee, Agua, Ultram, and their Pokémon from Jay and Ultra and his Pokémon.
"Rhyoking, horn drill attack," ordered Nick.
"King!" Rhyoking's horn spun around and it leaped at Ultra, and slamming into the Pokémon.
"Ultra!" cried Jay. He picked up his Pokémon. "That's not suppose to happen! Mewie, disable the light screen, Litatra create a barrier in front of us!"
"Mew!" said Jay's pre-evolved Mew happily, using its psychic powers to break away the light screen.
"La tra la!" Litatra created an invisible wall in front of them, boxing in Team Rocket.
"We can handle Team Rocket!" Ultram shouted to Jay. "Just get Ultra back to the Pokémon Center!"
Jay nodded. "Right." He picked up Litatra and Mewie too. "Let's go you guys." He quickly rushed back to the Pokémon Center back in Hydra Village.
* * * *
"Oh my," said the nurse, as Jay came rushing in. "All right, get two Raichu out here, ASAP!"
Jay put Ultra on the counter. "It's from a horn drill attack. Will he be okay?"
"Just glad you got it out here." The nurse picked up Ultra, and put it on a stretcher carried by two Raichu. She sighed. "That's the tenth one this week. It's a shame really, I just wish he wouldn't let his Dragonite use that awful horn drill attack."
"Dragonite!" cried Jay. "Team Rocket has Dragonite!"
"Team Rocket?" wondered the nurse. "I was talking about Lance's Dragonite."
Jay gave an utterly confused look. "Lance's Dragonite? The Lance?"
"Oh, you got that from Team Rocket?" The nurse laughed nervously.
"Lance is here!" cried Jay.
The nurse sighed. "This is a secret village where Lance has an Indigo League Gym."
Jay frowned. "Indigo League Badge . . . not a regular Pokémon League Badge."
"Indigo League Badges can be used as Pokémon League Badges though," noted the nurse. "After giving Ash his spot, he went out here. I just thought that one of Lance's Dragonite used horn drill and knocked out your Ultra."
"Where is this Lance's gym?" asked Jay. Didn't I use that line back in Current City . . . nah!
"It's the giant castle in the center of the village," replied the nurse. "You'll be needing eight Pokémon for this battle."
Jay glanced around at Litatra and Mewie. "Could you possibly watch my two baby Pokémon while I'm away at the gym."
"Sure no problem." The nurse smiled brightly.
"Thanks." He picked up Litatra and Mewie. "All right guys, I'll be back in an hour. I just need to prove to someone else that I'm probably the very best." He glanced at the TV screen. "I am the star of the show, remember."
The two nodded.
"Well, then I'm off to Lance's Gym!"
Chapter Six: Welcome to the Lance's Gym
As Jay headed towards the giant castle, Jay thought for a moment who he'd use in this match, since Ultra wasn't gonna be here.
When Jay had arrived to the door, he had already chosen his team. The giant door was huge, but there didn't seem anyone way to open it. So it did the logical thing, and knocked.
"Who goes there?" commanded a voice from inside the gym.
"I am Pokémon trainer Jay Barial of Meager Village, requesting a challenge against the Hydra Village gym leader." Whoa, I sounded really good.
The doors suddenly opened, and Jay walked in.
When Jay had entered the dark room, the doors quickly closed behind him leaving him completely in the dark.
"Ack!" cried Jay in terror.
"You may want the lights off anyway," said the voice. A light turned on way in front of Jay. There stood a man with a bluish blackish cape on.
"Why?" asked Jay.
The lights of the gym suddenly turned on, and Jay found himself looking up ahead to a gym arena. But right in front of Jay was a pathway, a narrow one, which was surrounded by lava, and the arena was too surrounded by lava.
"I don't wanna battle anymore, thank you." When Jay turned around and tried to open the doors, they would open.
"You have the challenge me first." The man smirked. "It's a real honor to face me. I am Lance, the ex-Elite Four master, and gym leader of the secret Hydra Village. Defeat me, and you earn the Hydra Badge."
It's a badge, Jay thought to himself. This can't be too dangerous. What the heck! "Fine, I accept your challenge!"
"Actually, you have to challenge me, then I accept your challenge," said Lance.
"Oh," said Jay. "Fine, I challenge you to an official Pokémon League gym battle for an Indigo League badge."
"I accept your challenge," said Lance. "Make your way to the center arena. Once you arrive, we will use eight Pokémon each. Okay?"
"Fine by me." Jay walked forward to Lance, who was smirking contentfully.
"The match will begin now!" Lance threw a Poké Ball onto the arena and revealed his giant Gyarados.
Jay nodded and threw a Super Ball. "Go, Venustoise!"
In front of the two trainers appeared their two giant Pokémon.
"Stoise!" growled Venustoise.
"Dos," growled Gyarados.
"Prepare for defeat," said Lance. "Gyarados, bite attack!"
Jay smirked. "No way your Gyarados can defeat my Venustoise! Venustoise, razor leaf attack!"
Venustoise shot tons leafs at the incoming Gyarados, but the leafs weren't warming it for some strange reason. Gyarados leaped at Venustoise and sunk its teeth right in the hybrid's shoulder.
"Stoise!" cried Venustoise as it tumbled backwards in pain.
"Fine then," said Jay. "Venustoise, spinning tackle."
"Puh," said Lance. "Pathetic. Gyarados, thrash attack!"
Venustoise went into its shell, then hurled itself at Gyarados. But Lance's deadly dragon slammed itself into Jay's Venustoise, forcing it to fall to the ground.
"Venustoise!" cried Jay. "Grrr, Venustoise ice punch attack!"
"Venus . . . stoise!" Venustoise leaped at the thrashing Gyarados and punched it in the face. Part of Gyarados froze over, but Gyarados slammed it's face into the floor cracking the ice off.
"Now Gyarados, hyper beam attack!" ordered Lance.
"Withdraw," commanded Jay.
Venustoise quickly popped back into its shell, while Gyarados collected energy and shot a giant beam at Venustoise's shell (with the little plant on top). The hyper beam slammed Venustoise against the wall of the arena.
Chapter Seven: Jay versus Lance.
"Now, finish it off with dragon rage," ordered Lance.
Gyarados opened its mouth and sent a giant tornado at the helpless Venustoise, still in its shell.
"You can come out Venustoise!" shouted Jay. "Venustoise, leaf storm attack!"
Venustoise shot leafs up into the air from its back, and then they all stormed down. Unfortunately, Gyarados' dragon rage attack just sent the leafs hurling back up into the air.
"Grrr," growled Jay. "Withdraw again?"
Venustoise popped back into its shell. The dragon rage attack hurled Venustoise up into the air too, then slammed Jay's Pokémon back down.
"Finish it off with another hyper beam," ordered Lance.
"No!" cried Jay. "Venustoise, leaf shield!"
"Stoise," moaned Venustoise. Leafs shot out from its back and created a giant wall in front of Jay's Pokémon.
Lance's Gyarados shot a giant blast of energy at Venustoise and broke through the leafs and blasted Venustoise in the stomach.
"Venustoise no!" cried Jay. "Fine then, Venustoise return!" Jay recalled his Venusaur/Blastoise mixture, but quickly grabbed another Super Ball. "Morpher, I choose you!" Jay hurled the Super Ball into Lance's arena, revealing his evolved Double.
"Morph!" growled Morpher.
"Morpher, transform into Electric Orb," ordered Jay.
Lance gasped. "This can't be good. Gyarados, bite that sad excuse for a Ditto!"
But it was too late, Morpher had already began the transformation. Morpher turned from a pinkish blob with arms and legs to a circular, electrical, orbital Pokémon. When Gyarados bit into Morpher, Jay's Pokémon quickly reacted and shocked Gyarados.
Lance's Gyarados fell weakly to the ground.
"Gyarados, return now!" Lance recalled his sea serpent into its Super Ball. He smiled. "Your Morpher's electric attacks will be useless against my next Pokémon! Go, Dragonite!" Lance threw the Poké Ball and out of the ball flew the giant dragon Pokémon, the evolved form of Dratini.
"Dragonite's a flying Pokémon, right?" Jay smirked. "Morpher, ultimate shocker!"
Lance chuckled. "Dragonite, horn drill!"
"Morph-morph!" agreed Morpher. Morpher created a giant blast of electrical energy and shocked Dragonite, but it didn't affect Morpher. Dragonite dived down at Jay's Morpher, but it quickly dived out of the way.
"Morpher, return to normal state then transform into Articuno!" ordered Jay.
Morpher swiftly transformed into the giant ice bird Pokémon, but that only made Lance smirk.
"Dragonite, thunder," ordered Lance.
Dragonite leaped up and flew above Morpher. Lance's Dragonite suddenly released a giant bolt of electricity that struck poor Morpher. Morpher quickly fell to the ground.
Jay gasped in horror. "Grrr . . . Morpher, return!" Jay recalled Morpher into is Super Ball then smirked. "Now you're asking for it! Flamed . . ." He thought for a moment. Flamed would get KO too quickly with Dragonite's thunder attack! Everyone else in my line-up can't handle the thunder attack; maybe Psyghost, but he'd get knocked out pretty quickly too. Oh, wait of course! Jay cleared his throat. "Lightnin, I choose you!" Jay threw a Super Ball, revealing the robotic-like Pokémon.
"I am ready to serve you," said Lightnin, with a bow.
Lance raised an eyebrow. "What's that?" He shrugged. "Dragonite, use your thunder attack."
Jay smirked. "Looks like I have the advantage now! Lightnin, tri attack!"
Dragonite flew over Lightnin shot a blast of electricity down Lightnin, but Jay's Super Pokémon remained unharmed.
Lightnin looked upward, held out his hand, and shot fire, ice, and lightning from his fingertips up at Dragonite. The fire and lightning didn't do much harm to Dragonite, but the ice made Dragonite fell down towards the ground.
"Hyper beam!" ordered Jay.
Lightnin held out his hand a of energy shot at Dragonite from Lightnin's fingertips. The hyper beam's impact hit Dragonite in the stomach, and it fell to the ground.
Chapter Eight: It's Dragon-Time
"Dragonite, return!" Lance held out a Poké Ball and recalled his giant dragon Pokémon into its ball. "Since your robotic body seems to be made of steel, I'll use my Charizard!" Lance threw a Poké Ball and revealed the flaming Charizard.
"Again, tri attack," commanded Jay.
"Fire blast," said Lance.
"Char!" growled Lance's Charizard, as it flew upward above Jay's Lightnin. "Zard!" Charizard shot the star-shaped blast of fire down at Lightnin.
"Uh oh," murmured Lightnin. Lightning held out his hand and shot a blast of fire, a blast of ice, and a blast of lightning up at Charizard.
But Charizard's fire blast attack just pushed Lightnin's tri attack back down towards Jay's Pokémon. The fire blast, with the addition of Lightnin's tri attack, knocked out Jay's Pokémon.
"Fire's strong against steel type Pokémon, like your Lightnin," replied Lance, as his Charizard landed in front of him.
"Lightnin, return!" Jay recalled his Lightnin into its Super Ball, then thought for a moment. I wonder . . . I wonder if Flamed will obey and fight Charizard? If not, I still have Tentablast, Winger, and Psyghost. "Flamed, I choose you!" Jay threw a Super Ball, and his Flamed appeared in front of him.
Flamed and Charizard stared each other down, waiting for their order.
"Charizard, dragon rage," ordered Lance.
Jay smirked. "Water cannon!"
Charizard roared and created a giant tornado of rage that went straight towards Jay's Flamed. Instead of using water cannon, Flamed flew up high into the sky, dodging the attack.
Jay frowned. "Flamed still won't listen. Maybe after I defeat Lance Flamed will obey me." He took a deep breath.
"Charizard, flamethrower attack!" ordered Lance.
"Flamed, fight back with your raging fire attack!" ordered Jay.
Charizard, still on the ground, shot a blast of fire up towards Flamed, who shot a larger blast of fire down towards Charizard.
The flamethrower attack and the raging fire attack hit and created a giant explosion. The explosion sent Flamed shooting upwards, and Charizard ended up getting caught in the explosion.
"Now, finish it off, water blast!" ordered Jay.
"Flame!" growled Flamed. When the explosion cleared, Flamed shot down towards the injured Charizard and shot a giant blast of water at Charizard. The water blast made Charizard collapse on the ground.
"Charizard, return." Lance recalled his fiery Pokémon back into its Poké Ball. He smirked. "Your Flamed is strong, but it won't fully obey. Mine will! It's dragon time. Go, Flamed!" Lance threw his first Super Ball and when it opened up, it revealed the giant starter Pokémon.
Chapter Nine: A Flaming Battle
"Flamed," growled Lance's Flamed.
"Flamed," growled Jay's Flamed.
"Your Flamed's already tired out," said Lance, "it won't completely obey you, and my Flamed is stronger than yours."
Jay frowned. "We'll see, won't we Flamed?" He smirked. "Flamed, hydro pumps!"
"Raging fire," said Lance.
Jay's Flamed sent a giant blast of water at Lance's flame and shot a large blast of fire at Jay's Flamed. The two attacks were going head to head; neither was putting the other out.
"Now we'll see who's truly the better trainer," said Lance. He smirked. "Which is of course, me."
"I doubt that," growled Jay.
"Remember, I am Lance the dragon trainer," said Lance. "I ran the Elite Four for a long time. From before Bruno to the early days of Koga. It was I who decided to who was best for a new group of elite trainers to join the ranks. It was I who built this town, and it is I who shall defeat your Flamed."
As Lance spoke these words, his Flamed's raging fire slowly pushed the other Flamed's hydro pumps back.
"No, Flame," murmured Jay. "Grrr, stand your ground Flamed!"
Lance chuckled. "Full strength!"
"You too!" shouted Jay.
Jay's Flamed gave a mighty roar of pain and annoyance (since he wasn't winning). He stopped the hydro pumps and flew upwards before Lance's Flamed's attack could hit him.
Lance just gave a simple nodded, which meant Flamed should continue the raging fire attack.
Jay sighed. "Listen to me Flamed! Use your agility attack!"
Lance's Flamed shot multiple blasts of fire at Jay's Flamed, but by listening to Jay, the young trainer's Flamed used its speed to dive out of the way of the blasts.
"Fine then," said Lance. "Your Flamed does win in speed. But speed can't always be your success. Fly up there Flamed."
Lance's Flamed stopped with the attacks then started flapping its wings, and quickly became airborne.
"Slash!" ordered both trainers.
Airborne, the duo of Flamed went head to head at each other, trying to slashing and scratching at each other. They did their best maneuvers to try to dodge the other's attack, but still trying to attack themselves. They seemed to be missing until.
"Flamed!" Lance's Flamed managed to get behind Jay's Flamed and slash down Jay's dragon's back.
"Flame!" roared Jay's Flamed in pain.
Chapter Ten: The Tables Have Turn . . . Again
Lance smirked. "Have to keep up young one." He looked up proudly at his Flamed.
"No!" cried Jay. "Flamed, fight back! Razor wing!"
"Seismic toss," ordered Lance.
Jay's Flamed tried slashing Lance's Flamed with its wing, but the enemy Flamed grabbed its wing. Lance's Flamed spun around in the air, did an aerial flip, then slammed Jay's Flamed onto the arena.
"Flamed," moaned Jay's Flamed.
Jay sighed. "Flamed re-"
Flamed gave a mighty roar, acknowledging that he wasn't finished.
Jay nodded. "Okay."
Lance smirked. "You should be the one who makes the decisions, not your Pokémon. Flamed, finish it off with your slash!"
Lance's Flamed dived down to finish off Jay's Flamed.
"No!" shouted Jay. "Flamed, flare attack!"
As Lance's Flamed dived down towards Jay's Flamed. Suddenly, the fire on Jay's Flamed enlarged. It enlarged so much that it covered Flamed for his defense, then shot up towards Lance's Flamed. Lance's Flamed slowed down and slowly backed away from the fire.
"Fury fire attack!" ordered Jay. He waited and nothing happened. "Eh, it was worth a shot. Flamed, use your rage attack, now!"
"FLAMED!" roared Jay's Flamed. He flew upward at full speed, still surrounded by the fire, and bashed into Lance's Flamed. Then, Jay's Flamed shot a giant blast of water and sprayed down Lance's Flamed to the ground.
"Hyper beam!" ordered Jay.
Jay's Flamed collected energy and shot a giant beam of energy at Lance's Flamed. The blast made Lance's Flamed go into the floor, cracking part of the arena.
Lance nodded. "A good trick. Flamed, return." He smirked. "I'd suggest recalling your Flamed too, or is it okay with him."
Jay glared. "He's not finished yet, that's all." He chuckled. "Besides, it seems the tables have turned, Lance."
"We'll see, Jay." He threw a Poké Ball, and out of the ball flew out his Dragonite.
"How many of those do you have exactly?" asked Jay.
"Just one more after this." Lance smirked. "Though you probably won't be able to get that far."
"Flamed, fire blast!" ordered Jay.
Lance chuckled. "All right Dragonite, use your blizzard attack."
Dragonite gave a nod and took flight. Dragonite flew above Jay's Flamed and shot a blast of icy could air at Flamed, slowly freezing over Jay's Pokémon.
Jay sighed. "Well, that's one way to put out a flame."
Suddenly, the frozen Flamed started glowing a bright red and heat sizzled from the frozen statue. The ice suddenly began to crack and Flamed emerged from the ice.
"Ha, ha," said Jay. "My Flamed's stronger than he looks . . ."
Jay Flamed flew up and then flew behind Jay towards the entrance of the door. It cowered in the corner near the exit, refusing to battle.
Jay frowned. "Grrr, Flamed, aren't you going to battle?"
"Flamed." Jay's dragon Pokémon shook it's head. It then shot a blast of fire at Jay, frying its trainer.
"Okay, whatever," mumbled Jay. "Flamed, return."
"It looks as if the tables have turned again," said Lance, as Jay recalled his Pokémon.
Jay shrugged. "Not really. Tentablast, I choose you!" Jay threw a Super Ball and out threw his Blastoise/Tentacruel mixture.
"Dragonite, blizzard attack," commanded Lance.
"Fight it with your blizzard," ordered Jay swiftly.
"Blast!"
"Nite!"
The two trainers shot blasts of cool air, which including ice sickles in the attack. The blasts hit each other creating a giant frozen ball of ice.
"Tentablast, oil attack!" ordered Jay.
"Dragonite, use your thunderwave attack," ordered Lance.
"Tenta blast!" Tentablast shot a blast of sludgy oil up at Lance's Dragonite.
Lance's Dragonite shot a blast of electricity down at Jay's Tentablast, but the thunderwave hit Tentablast's oil, deadening the electricity. The oil hit Dragonite's face, blinding the Pokémon.
Chapter Eleven: The Battles Continues
"Use your hydro pumps!" said Jay.
Tentablast's hydro pumps opened up from its back and shot blasts of water Dragonite, slamming it into the wall.
"Now, freeze whip," said Jay.
Lance thought for a moment, what could he use? "Agility."
But Lance's Dragonite was still blinded from the oil attack, it tried to evade the attack, but the multiple vines hit Lance's Dragonite and it slowly fell over and slammed into the ground.
"Well, well, you're good." Lance gave a nod and held out a Poké Ball. "Dragonite, return. Now, I shall use my final Dragonite! Dragonite, go!" Lance threw another Poké Ball revealing a much larger Dragonite. "Meet my first Pokémon."
Jay frowned. "Tentablast arctic freeze!"
"Agility." Lance nodded solemnly, smirking.
Jay's Tentablast shot a blast of cool air up towards the Dragonite, but Lance's Pokémon used its speed to dive out of the way.
"Roll," ordered Lance.
Jay gave an utterly confused look. "There's such thing as a roll attack? Oh well, poison bite!"
Tentablast leaped up at Lance's Dragonite with its jaws wide open, ready to chomp down.
But Lance's started to glow strangely, then started diving down towards Tentablast. While diving down, Dragonite was spinning around.
Dragonite ended up slamming fast first into Tentablast, which slammed Jay's Pokémon into the ground.
"I don't think so," growled Jay. "Sludge, now!"
Lance laughed. "Fire blast attack!"
"No, wait, cancel that attack!" cried Jay, but it was too late.
Tentablast shot a blast of sludge up towards Lance's Dragonite, which shot a blast of fire shaped in a star down towards Tentablast. The fire blast quickly caught the sludge on fire and the two attacks quickly fell towards Tentablast.
"Ah," cried Jay. "Tentablast, water cannon! Put it out!"
"Ten ta!" Tentablast shot three blasts of fire up at the fiery oil, and quickly put it out, but the oil splashed down on Tentablast.
"Slam!" commanded Lance.
As Tentablast was shaking off the oil, Lance's Dragonite bashed into Jay's Tentablast, sending it flying.
"Fire blast!" ordered Lance.
Jay snorted. "Like a fire attack could hurt Tentablast."
The star shaped blast of fire hit Tentablast, who had yet to shake off all the oil, and quickly ignited with fire.
Chapter Twelve: Still Battling
"Tentablast, return." Jay recalled Tentablast back into its ball then grabbed another Super Ball. "Can't beat this one! Wurm, I choose you!" Jay threw a Super Ball, revealing the long serpent Pokémon.
"What can that thing do?" replied Lance.
"This!" Jay pointed at Dragonite. "Water blast!"
"Fire blast!" ordered Lance, challenging Jay's water blast attack.
Lance's Dragonite shot a giant star-shaped blast of fire down at Jay's Wurm. But Wurm's water blast quickly put out the fire blast then hit Dragonite, who was caught off guard, slamming it upward.
"Grrr," growled Lance. "Slam attack!"
"Agility!" ordered Jay.
Dragonite dashed down towards Wurm, but it leaped out of the way, sending Dragonite crashing into the floor of the gym.
"How is this gym still standing?" wondered Jay. "Wrap attack!"
Wurm wrapped itself around the temporarily stunned Dragonite. It had never missed a slam attack like that before.
"Shake it off, aerial submission," ordered Lance.
Dragonite took flight again, and began spinning around to try to shake off Jay's Pokémon, but it wouldn't come off.
"Thunderwave," said Jay, somewhat excited that he was winning.
Wurm released a blast of electricity and paralyzed Lance's Dragonite, which sent it falling to the ground.
"Um, how about bite attack," said Jay.
"Wurm!" Wurm bit into Dragonite's head and it gave a mighty roar.
"Dragonite, return!" ordered Lance. Lance recalled Dragonite into its Poké Ball then smirked. "You're good. But are you good enough to beat Kingudora?" He threw a Poké Ball and revealed what appeared to be a giant sea horse Pokémon.
"Du do ra," growled Kingudora.
"Hydro pumps," ordered Jay.
"Fight it with your hydro pumps," commanded Lance.
The two Pokémon shot huge blasts of water at one another. They seemed to be equally matched until Kingudora glowed with power and sent a critically power blast of water at Wurm. Wurm was slammed into the wall by Kingudora's blast.
Jay snorted. "I'm not gonna be defeated that easily. Kingudora won't be able to defeat this! Roll attack!"
The long serpent leaped up towards Kingudora and Wurm clamped onto the end of its own tail created a circle or an O shape. It went rolling up towards Kingudora.
"Hyper beam," ordered Lance.
"King do!" growled Kingudora. Kingudora shot a blast of energy at the incoming Wurm, who quickly fell to the ground after the attack.
"Dig underground," commanded Jay.
Lance smirked. "Wait for it to pop out."
Jay's Wurm dug into the gym arena, leaving a little hole. Jay could barely see it, and he was sure Lance and Kingudora couldn't see, the upturned earth it was leaving behind.
"Wurm, dig!" ordered Jay.
"Dragon blizzard," said Lance.
Wurm popped out from below Kingudora, but Lance's Pokémon glanced down at shot a blast of fiery dragon power at Jay's Pokémon. But, somehow, Wurm had become paralyzed and fell to the ground.
"I love that attack," replied Lance. "I'm glad Ibuki showed me to move. You should be recalling Wurm now."
"Wurm, return," replied Jay darkly.
Chapter Thirteen: As the Twilight Arises
"Luckily, I still have two Pokémon left," said Jay proudly.
"Amazing," replied Lance. "I still have my Kingudora and my other Pokémon."
Jay rolled his eyes. "Go, Winger!" Jay threw a Super Ball up into the air and out of the ball flew his Fearow/Pidgeot crossbreed. "Ha, you can't beat one of my first Pokémon!"
"Who's your first?" asked Lance.
"Ultra," replied Jay. "He had an accident with one of Team Rocket's Pokémon and he's at the center . . ."
Lance snorted. "You failed against Team Rocket."
"They had new Pokémon, I didn't see it coming," replied Jay. "And Morpher . . . who you all ready defeated." He rolled his eyes. "Winger, quick attack!"
Lance chuckled. "This should be fun. Slow it down with a bubblebeam attack."
Winger dived down at Lance's Kingudora, which was shooting a bunch of bubbles at him. Winger used its speed and agility to dodge the incoming bubbles, but Jay's Pokémon wasn't quick enough. Kingudora's bubbles hit Winger at first, which just slowed it down, but Winger was soon barraged with bubbles.
"Keep it up," replied Lance.
Jay chuckled. "All right Winger, whirlwind attack!"
"Wing-wing-wing!" growled Winger, as it flapped its wings. Winger was able to blow them back towards Kingudora, but the reversal attack didn't seem to harm Kingudora at all.
"Keep up the bubblebeam," ordered Lance.
"Agility-talon strike!" ordered Jay.
Winger dodged passed Kingudora's bubbles and slashed Lance's Pokémon across the face with its claws.
"Take down now," ordered Lance.
"Razor wing," commanded Jay.
Winger tried slashing the incoming Kingudora with its wing, but that ended up crushing Winger into the wall.
Suddenly, Winger flapped its wings and flew up high into the sky. Winger started glowing a bright and fiery red, almost with rage.
"Is Winger evolving again?" wondered Jay.
"What are you, an idiot!" growled Jay's Pokédex as he pulled it out. "Winger's not evolving, it's about to use its most powerful flying attack: Sky attack."
"Kingudora, hyper beam!" ordered Lance.
Kingudora gather energy and then shot a beam of energy at Winger. But Winger was still glowing with a fiery rage and shot down at full speed at Lance's Pokémon. Winger managed to smash through the hyper beam and then slam into Kingudora.
"Drill peck," said Jay. "Finish it off!"
Winger flew up high then dived down at Kingudora, beak first, spinning around. The drill peck made Kingudora fall to the ground.
Lance nodded. "Kingudora, return." Lance recalled his fully evolved Horsea into its Poké Ball. "Looks like it is time for my last Pokémon. Aerodactyl, go!" Lance threw a Poké Ball revealing his ancient flying/rock Pokémon.
"Nothing Winger can't handle!" said Jay. "Winger, razor wind!"
"Hyper beam," ordered Lance.
Lance's Aerodactyl shot a beam of energy at Jay's Winger, who was attempting a razor wind. The hyper beam smashed right through Winger's razor wind and then slammed into Winger.
"Atom force," ordered Lance.
"Aerodactyl!" screeched Lance's Pokémon. Aerodactyl circled around Jay's Pokémon and then loads of rocks came smashing into Jay's Winger.
Chapter Fourteen: As the Battle Concludes . . .
Jay gasped. "Winger no . . . Winger, return!" Jay recalled Winger into its Super Ball, then selected his last Super Ball. "Well good friend, it's up to you! Psyghost, go!"
{Ready to go boss,} said Psyghost, as he emerged from the Super Ball.
"Aerodactyl, wing attack," ordered Lance.
"Heck nah," muttered Jay. "Psyghost, teleport!"
Aerodactyl came flying down at Jay's Pokémon, trying to bash it with its wings. And luckily for Jay, Psyghost's psychic powers kicked in and quickly Jay's Pokémon teleported out of the way.
"Psychic attack," ordered Jay.
"Aerodactyl, supersonic," growled Lance.
Psyghost created a blast of psychic energy and sent it straight towards Lance's Aerodactyl, but the flying Pokémon sent a super high sonic wave, which broke right through the psychic attack.
"Bite attack!" ordered Lance.
"All right Psyghost, light screen now!" ordered Jay.
{All right, time for an invisible wall.} Psyghost's hands floated away from its body and created an invisible wall in front of it. Lance's Aerodactyl dived down at Psyghost, but slammed into the wall.
"Take down now," ordered Lance.
"Teleport," ordered Jay.
Aerodactyl dived down at Psyghost, but it dived out of the way, making the giant rock bird slam into the gym floor.
"Hyper beam!" ordered Lance.
"Again, teleport," said Jay, a bit calmer down that he realized he could win this.
The injured Aerodactyl shot a blast of energy, focused into a beam, straight at Psyghost, but it teleported out of the way. The hyper beam attack used up a lot of its energy.
"Now, psyblast!" ordered Jay.
While Aerodactyl was down, Psyghost created an enormous blast of psychic energy and blasted it at Lance's Pokémon.
"Ha-ha! Hypnosis attack," said Jay.
Psyghost hovered above the recovering Aerodactyl, and put it to sleep.
"Nightmare attack," said Jay.
Psyghost's hands left its body and entered Aerodactyl's head. The ghost was giving Lance's Pokémon nightmares beyond believe.
"That was a great match," said Lance. He nodded acknowledging Jay's victory. "Aerodactyl, return."
"I won?" wondered Jay. He jumped up and down with joy. "I won! Psyghost, you did great!"
Psyghost nodded. {Anything for my master.}
"Psyghost, return!" Jay recalled the ghost Pokémon into its ball. He rushed over to Lance, going past the many cracks and holes in the gym floor.
"As proof of your victory, I have for the Hydra Badge," said Lance. He handed Jay the small badge shaped in the head of a Gyarados. "This is an official Indigo League Badge, which can be used in the Indigo League and main Pokémon League."
Jay jumped up with joy. "Yeah! I have the Hydra Badge!" Then he started dancing.
At this point, Lance asked if there was anything else Jay needed.
"Oh yeah, there may be one thing," said Jay, thinking back to the earlier battle.
Chapter Fifteen: The Congratulations
Team Rocket's Pokémon had somehow gotten Ultimate, Pikachu, Lickitung, Fire Orb, Articuno, Sky High, Ice Orb, Gyaronix, and Whirlpool trapped into a corner.
"Well, it looks like we've won for a change," growled Fire Kat. "Looks like without Jay, you guys are just some washed up trainers!"
"I'll show you washed up," growled Agua. "Whirlpool, water wave!"
Whirlpool gave a weak moan. None of the remaining Pokémon could defeat all of Team Rocket's Pokémon.
"All right Gengar, finish them off," ordered Mike.
"Dugtrio, show them who's boss," commanded Nick.
"You can beat 'em Vileplume," said Kelly.
Team Rocket's new Pokémon stepped forward, ready to attack, but then suddenly there was a brilliant flash of light, blinding all the trainers. When their vision came to, Team Rocket's new Pokémon had fainted and a strange psychic aurora surrounded the injured Pokémon.
"What was that," murmured Ultram.
"It was some sort of psychic attack," replied Dee.
"Hold it right there!" There, above them all, flying on an Aerodactyl was Jay, Ultra, Litatra, Mewie, and another trainer. "Ultra, thunder!"
"Go, Dragonite!" The other trainer threw a Poké Ball revealing the giant dragon Pokémon. "Dragonite, blizzard!"
Ultra hopped down onto the Dragonite's head. The two Pokémon flew over Team Rocket and their Pokémon. Ultra sent the blast of electricity down at the Pokémon, frying most of them. Then, Dragonite opened its mouth and shot a blast of cold air, including some icicles, freezing all of the Pokémon, except for Fire Kat.
"Ha, I always survive," said Fire Kat boldly.
"I don't think so!" said Ultram. "Go Lickitung, lick attack!"
Lickitung leaped out towards Team Rocket's Pokémon, after a quick rest, and licked Fire Kat, paralyzing it.
"I stand . . . corrected," cried Fire Kat.
Dee sighed pitifully. "These guys are too heavy to blast off when they're frozen. Fire Orb, fire blast!"
"Orb!" Fire Orb shot a star shaped blast of fire at the frozen Team Rocket, thawing them, yet setting them on fire.
"Perfect," said Agua. "Whirlpool, send them blasting off with a water wave!"
"Whirl," sloshed Whirlpool. It sent a giant wave of water at Team Rocket, putting them out and sending them blasting off.
"Even with new Pokémon we lost," muttered Mike.
"But that mysterious thing stopped our new Pokémon," complained Nick.
"Maybe next time," replied Kelly.
"Yeah right," said Fire Kat smugly.
"Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
* * * *
In front of the Hydra Village Pokémon Center, Lance was giving out gifts to the brave trainers who fought Team Rocket outside of the village.
"And since Team Rocket would have stormed our village, these brave trainers defeated these Pokémon thieves," said Lance, over the speakers. There was a round of applause and Lance continued. "And for these trainers, I have a special gift for you."
Jay smiled happily, as he sat next to Dee, Agua, Ultram, Fire Orb, Pikachu, and Pichu.
"Will Dee, Agua, and Ultram please come onto the stage," said Lance.
Jay frowned. "What about me," he cried to Dee.
"I don't remember you defending the village from Team Rocket," said Dee, as she walked up onto the stage.
Jay shrugged. "It doesn't matter, I have the Hydra Badge now."
Up on the stage, Lance said, "For these young trainers, I have three dragon Pokémon for you. Two Dratini and a Horsea."
Jay frowned. "Maybe I should have defended the village."
Lance handed Ultram and Dee the Poké Balls containing the Dratini, and Lance handed Agua the Horsea. "May your adventures take you many places."
"Speaking of which," said Dee, "we have to go to the Imitate Kingdom! See you guys later!"
Dee, Agua, Ultram, and their Pokémon hopped down and joined Jay, Ultra, Litatra, and Mewie. The group headed out of Hydra Village and headed to the Kingdom.
Dee, Agua, Ultram, and the rest of the Pokémon crew must save a castle from Team Rocket's Pokémon. Meanwhile, Jay and Ultra and Morpher and his Pokémon must face off against the deadly transforming Pokémon Master, Duplica in, The Transformation Gym.
