Episode XXXIV
Plant that Planto
Jay Barial
Chapter One: The Baby Battle
Jay, with Ultra, Litatra, and Mewie in the basket of his bike, Dee, with Fire Orb in the basket of her bike, Agua, with the small Soslow in the basket of her bike, and Ultram, with Pikachu and Pichu in the basket of his bike, all started biking away from the Imitate Kingdom and headed the ruins of Celadon City.
After biking for several hours, they decided to take a quick stop outside of Lavender Town. So, to pass the time, Jay, Agua, and Ultram wanted to see which of their baby Pokémon would win in a battle.
"Okay, Dee you can temporarily have Mewie to battle with," said Jay, handing Dee Mewie. "I'll have Litatra to battle with. Ultram will use Pichu and Agua will use your slow . . . thing."
"It's name is Soslow," growled Agua. "I had to learn how to say Litatra correctly, now remember Soslow."
"Who's going to ref the match though?" asked Dee.
Fire Orb, Pikachu, and Ultra started shouting.
"Heh, right, our Pokémon," said Dee. "We're ready when you are."
"Ultra ult tra . . . tra ra . . . ult!" said Ultra. (Translation: On your marks, get set, go.)
"Litatra, thunder shield," said Jay.
"Pichu, thundershock," said Ultram.
"Mewie, use your confusion," said Dee.
"Um, Soslow, um, attack," said Agua.
"Pi!" Ultram's Pichu jumped up into the air and created a small blast of electricity at Litatra, but it only absorbed into Litatra's shield, while Mewie's confusion attack reversed the attack and shocked Pichu.
"Slow," mumbled Soslow.
Jay chuckled and began laughing. "Agua's new little Soslow is too slow to do anything."
Agua frowned. "Soslow'll show you!"
"Pichu, thunderwave," said Ultram.
"Mewie light screen," said Dee.
"Litatra, use your thundershock on Soslow," said Jay. "Might as well take you out right now."
"Tra!" Litatra leaped up towards Agua's little Slowpoke and tried to shock it, but suddenly Litatra stopped in midair and was slammed down onto the ground. Then Agua's Soslow shot a blast of psychic energy at Litatra and toss the pre-evolved Ultra around.
"Litatra!" Jay rushed to his small Pokémon. "Are you okay?"
"La," said Litatra weakly.
"Orb, orb, fire," said Fire Orb. (Translation: And Litatra's out of this match.)
Pichu's thunderwave had managed to break through the light screen and paralyzing Mewie. Pichu then tackled Mewie, taking out Jay's other Pokémon.
"Hey, maybe it's not Dee's fault, maybe Jay hasn't been raising Mewie well enough," suggested Agua.
"Pi ka chu-chu," said Ultram's Pikachu. (And Dee's Mewie is out of the match.)
It was down to Pichu and Soslow.
"Pichu, it that slow thing with your thundershock, full blast!" ordered Ultram.
Agua frowned. "Um, use your confusion attack."
"Slow." While Pichu shot its electricity at Soslow, the baby Slowpoke used its psychic powers to turn around the attack and shocked Pichu.
"Soslow, bubble now," said Agua.
Soslow shot bubbles at Pichu damaging the little Pikachu.
"Headbutt now," said Agua.
"So!" Soslow leaped at Pichu and headbutted him in the stomach.
"Chu!" cried Pichu, as it fell backwards in pain.
"Tra ra tra! Ult tra!" announced Ultra. (And it's over! Soslow's the winner!)
Chapter Two: Pat's Back
After the baby battle, the group decided they should heal their baby Pokémon. So, they headed to Lavender Town's Pokémon Center.
"Your baby Pokémon will be fine," said the nurse. "They should probably stay in the center though, it'll give them some time to get more energy and give them a better chance of evolving."
"That's cool," said Jay. "Do you know where the Celadon City ruins are?"
"Past this next field," said the nurse. "Why are you going there? It's a very dangerous place where tones of wild grass Pokémon roam."
"We're just going there to get a plant for my professor's potion," said Jay. "I'm one of the top trainers (I hope!) and I try to help out the person who gave me my first Pokémon from time to time."
"Corny," both Agua and Ultram coughed under their breath.
"How long should it take to get there?" asked Dee.
"On foot, about 4 hours," said the nurse.
The whole group began to moan.
"We do have bikes," reminded Agua. "How long would it take if we were all pedaling over there?"
"An hour, less if you were power pedaling," said the nurse.
"What should we expect when we reach Celadon?" asked Dee. "Anything we should be looking out for?"
The nurse nodded. "Recently trainer have been reporting rash behavior from the plant Pokémon there. Oh, of course as you probably know, steer clear of Planto. If you run into it, that thing will only cause trouble."
"Planto," murmured Jay.
"It's one of the legendary Pokémon, genius!" shouted Jay's Pokédex from his pocket. "Your friend Dee over there should add it to her collecting, that is if she can beat it. She only has Feargost, Psybird, Lugia, and Articuno. I can only think that Articuno could beat it."
Dee slammed Jay against the wall. "Why would you say that!"
"Hey, don't make me get in the middle of this." Jay tossed Dee his Pokédex.
"Because Articuno is the only one of your birdies with a type advantage, that's probably why," said a familiar voice.
The group turned around to see the ever so familiar face of the green haired boy, Patrick, who was accompanied by his floating Serebii.
"Patrick!" said Jay, Dee, and Agua in unison.
"Tra!" said Ultra cheerfully.
"Fire orb!" said Fire Orb.
The group, with the exception of Ultram and Pikachu, rushed up to their old friends to see how they were doing.
"I think I speak on Pikachu and my behalf when I ask who this guy is?" said Ultram. "Because I don't recall you. Were you at the Evolution Cavern with us and did I miss you or something?"
"I wish," said Patrick. "I'm a friend of the group. We meet up in the Gloom Grove back at the Arachnid Island. They helped me capture this Serebii, and we defeated some evil Haunter who was trying to capture us."
"The same ones who tried stealing Pichu when it was in its egg, and the same one that was probably taking control of Borlax," said Ultram.
"Well, I guess your catching on," muttered Jay. "So Patrick how've things been?"
Chapter Three: Invaded
Mew hovered in his secret hideout up in the clouds accompanied by The Master's second-in-command: Mewtwo.
"Mew, you have done well and your information for The Master has proven useful," said Mewtwo. "That is why your allies are not joining you tonight."
"Yeah, where's Psycho anyway?" asked Mew. "I know Haunter has to go to the training thing, but what happened to Psycho?"
"Psycho's mission to reawaken the legendary Thundeer and bring it back to us was unsuccessful," explained Mewtwo. "Psycho woke it up, by a strange create attacked him and Thundeer escaped."
"That's Psycho for us," muttered Mew. "He can never complete the job."
"So, he too is training," said Mewtwo. "In the meantime, I have a very important job for you. It concerns our last legendary Pokémon that we have control over."
"Ah, that would be Planto I'm guessing," said Mew. "Are Jay and the others planning on capturing it?"
"Of course not," said Mewtwo. "The Master has not foreseen Jay achieving such a powerful Pokémon . . . yet. It has to do with Planto's turf: The Celadon City ruins. It seems Jay and his friends, accompanied by that little pest Patrick and his Serebii, are heading that way. It would be the perfect ambush."
"Excellent," said Mew. "With Planto on our side, along with his army of grass Pokémon, we can't lose." Then he gave an odd look. "I thought The Master didn't want us to capture Jay."
"Only if we have the opportunity," said Mewtwo. "And we do. So go to Celadon City and inform Planto of the upcoming visitors planning to invade its territory!"
* * * *
Teria sat back in his desk as he awaited The Master appearance so they could begin business for "The Experiment" (which was what The Master was calling it).
Within seconds, the dark creature appeared in Teria's office.
"Ah, Master, how are you?" asked Teria. "Any new information come up?"
"Actually, yes," said The Master slowly approaching Teria. "No thanks to your idiot excuse you call thieves."
Teria glared at The Master. "Team Rocket is an ancient organization that began years ago and has lasted this long."
"Oh, I always thought Team Rocket was a pathetic group of thieves that kept on dying off, then being reawakened by some fool," said The Master.
"Then why are you with the fool who reawakened it?" growled Teria.
"So I could use your machines to build this creature of mass destruction," said The Master. "Of course, I've already ordered your scientists to put in the new information into The Experiment several days ago."
"Without my permission!" growled Teria. "How!"
"I just set an example," said The Master. "What a shame it was that Jerrod had to be killed. He was such a good Team Rocket member too. Well, an example is an example."
"I could stop this right now!" growled Teria.
"No," said The Master, "you could have. But now it's gotten to out of hand. I no longer need your machines to do my work! Nor does The Experiment!"
"Why do you keep on calling it The Ex-" But Teria was cut off by an explosion down in the lab below. He looked down at the glass that held "The Experiment" had shattered and the creature was hovering in the air. "How is it doing that?"
"I put in a little darkness, from me, into the creature and look how it's reacting," said The Master. "Oops . . ." It slowly disappeared.
"The Experiment" began glowing and created a giant explosion in Teria's lab. "The Experiment" then shot through the roof and started glowing brighter and brighter until it teleported itself away.
Chapter Four: Twerp Search
"I can not believe those twerps blew up our beautiful Fearow jet," mumbled Fire Kat. "We had for a very long time! Ever since that time we were trying to steal all those doll Super Pokémon from the Woolie Zone."
"Now we're stuck here," muttered Kelly. "On this stupid sub."
Since Jay and the others had blown Team Rocket's Fearow jet to pieces, the group of thieves had to go back to their Gyarados sub. They were currently heading to the river south of Lavender Town.
"You know, I wonder if our fans aren't going to like it that we're back in this damn sub," muttered Mike.
"We have fans?" wondered Nick aloud.
THUD! THUD!
"Ow," cried Nick, having Mike and Kelly hit him over the head.
"Of course we have fans!" said Fire Kat. "For people out there who love the people out there who try to mess things up, but fail every time."
"Not every time," said Nick. "We stole the Pokémon from Dee's gym . . . no, wait Jay got them back."
THUD!
"That's why we don't let you talk Nick," hissed Fire Kat. The fiery feline cleared his throat. "Our fans expect certain things for us: Our motto for instants; Using our various Pokémon; Me talking."
"Does this including failing every episode and blasting off again and again?" asked Nick. "Wait! I know, I know."
THUD! THUD! THUD!
"There I hit myself, happy?" asked Nick.
"I wasn't actually gonna hit you," said Mike.
"Yeah, me neither," said Fire Kat and Kelly in unison.
Nick frowned. "Let's stick to our main objective: Capturing Jay's Pokémon. Am I right, or am I right?"
"You're right," said Mike, Kelly, and Fire Kat. "For a change."
"Now, they've been headed for Celadon City for awhile now," said Fire Kat.
"How do you know that?" asked Mike.
Fire Kat shrugged. "You pick stuff up on the streets."
"What street?" asked Kelly.
He slashed Kelly across the face. "That would be none of your concern. Anyway, if we take the underground river below Lavender Town, we'll come out in a small lake in the middle of the Celadon City ruins."
"Well then let's go!" said Kelly eagerly. "Let's get that Jay, Ultra, and their friends too. We'll show the boss who his best Team Rocket members are."
* * * *
After subbing along in their little sub, going into the underground passage and coming out to a small lake, the Gyarados sub holding Team Rocket submerged from the water.
"Whoa, that line the author gave us made me feel special," said Mike. "We usually get short lines like 'The Gyarados sub surfaced'."
"Good idea," said a booming voice from above.
The Gyarados sub surfaced.
"Damn," cursed Mike.
The four Team Rocket members popped out of the sub and looked around. The old Celadon City was still the ruins it usually was. Buildings had collapsed, parts of the city were still burned, but some wild grass Pokémon still roamed around. It was almost as if Erika, the grass gym leader that had once lived her, was still trying to preserve what was left of the ruins.
"Whoa, and I thought my room was messy as a kid," muttered Nick.
"What could have happened to destroy an entire city," whispered Kelly.
There was a sudden screech up above, and Fire Kat pointed towards it. "That thing! Team Rocket run!"
But before they could move, the flying creature shot four bullet-like things and when the seed-bullets hit the four Rocket members, they were quickly wrapped with vines.
"Can't hold me!" Fire Kat burned right through his restrain, but then the beast unleashed bluish powder and put Fire Kat to sleep.
Then, a group of Vileplume lifted the four Rockets and carried them away.
Chapter Five: Welcome to Celadon City . . .
After their quick chat at the Pokémon Center, the group decided it would be best to bike the rest of the way. Patrick hopped onto the second seat on Dee's bike, while Serebii was in Agua's basket on her bike, and the group went off.
As they were biking, a question appeared an Jay's mind. "So Patrick, what are you doing heading over to the Celadon City ruins?"
"Just looking at an old family home," said Patrick. "My uncle was married to Erika, the gym leader of this city. There's suppose to be some treasure hidden away in her gym."
Jay, Dee, Agua, and Ultram all stopped their bikes. "You're related to Erika the gym leader of Celadon City!"
"Not blood related, but yeah, I guess," said Patrick. "That's why I'm collecting grass Pokémon, to be like Erika."
"That's cool," said Jay, as the group resumed their bike ride.
"Plus, the recent stories about the enraged grass Pokémon interested me," said Patrick. "Maybe this could be something related to what happened back at the Arachnid Island."
Ultram rolled his eyes. "Arachnid Island this. Serebii that. If it weren't for me, this group wouldn't be where it is."
"Someone's jealous of Patrick," said Jay in a singsong voice.
Patrick shook his head. "I'm just visiting. I don't plan to stay and take over your 'territory' Ultram."
Ultram snorted. "I wasn't thinking that . . . in those exact words . . ."
The group continued biking until they saw a giant building up ahead that looked like it had been torn down.
"Well guys, welcome to the famous Celadon City," said Patrick, "ruins."
"Whoa," murmured Jay as they continued biking. "Talk about a big city. It at least, it once was a big city."
The group biked into the city, and was surprised to not have seen anyone/anything else there.
"It's incredibly quiet," muttered Agua. "Well, quiet considering there are suppose to be tons of wild grass Pokémon attacking us."
"Maybe they're resting," suggested Jay.
"Or maybe . . . they aren't real," said Agua slowly, so that it would click in Jay's head.
"Oh, right," said Jay. "I knew that."
"Where was Erika's gym?" asked Dee.
"At least someone's still thinking of the task at hand," muttered Ultram.
Patrick shrugged. "First, we should probably park our bikes. We may miss it if we're rushing along.
Everyone got off their bikes and continued looking around. Within fifteen minutes, their search had brought up NOTHING.
"This is great," muttered Jay. "Can't find this plant for Professor Oak Jr. and this treasure of Erika's. We're screwed. And this is taking too long."
"Since there are five of us, let's split up into groups of two," said Patrick.
"Why not three groups," said Ultram. "You know, one group of one."
"Cause then there are better odds of one of us not getting captured or killed or whatever happens to us out here," said Patrick.
"Okay, here are the groups," said Agua. "Jay, Dee, Fire Orb, and Ultra are heading up north. Jay needs to find the plant for the professor, and Dee can be there to protect him from Planto if it appears. Meanwhile, Patrick, Ultram, Serebii, Pikachu, and I will head south in search of this treasure for Patrick. There are enough of us and our Pokémon to defend ourselves from this Planto thing."
"Okay," said Ultram. Great, I'm stuck with Agua and my replacement. Things could be worse: It could be Jay instead of Agua. "Let's go!"
Chapter Six: Evolution Gems Just Don't Grow on Trees
Right?
Jay, Dee, Fire Orb, and Ultra headed towards the northern part of the town.
The four continued walking and walked past a giant totaled building. On the outside of the building was a small sign that said: Pokémon Mart.
"This is hopeless," muttered Jay.
"Can you use your Pokédex to try to find the plant?" asked Dee.
Jay rolled his eyes. "If my Pokédex chooses to help me." He pulled it out. "Okay, I rarely ask for your help, so I'm asking now. Can you locate any nearby plants that are giving off any strange energy or something?"
"Kinda sketchy description," said the Pokédex, "though I shouldn't expect that much from you, but I have found some strange reading inside the Pokémon Mart building. Actually, there are several readings I'm picking up."
"Tra ra ultra," said Ultra.
"True," said Jay. "The more the better." Jay darted towards a hole in the building, but suddenly Fire Orb appeared in front of him stopping him. "Move Fire Orb!"
"Hey!" Dee grabbed Jay by the shirt and pulled him back. "This isn't the most stable building. If we aren't careful we could end up trapped in there!"
"Then how are we going to know how to escape?" asked Jay.
Dee smiled. "Simple, we have Pokémon that could help us out, right?"
"Who?" Jay asked.
"Your Woolie and my Willie could leave a trail of string in case with need to escape," said Dee. "Fighter and Rocker can help us escape if building parts start falling. And Orb, Fire Orb, and Ultra can help us light the path with their flash attacks."
Jay nodded. "Woolie, Fighter, Orb, I choose you!" Jay threw the two Super Balls and the Woolie Ball revealing his three Pokémon.
"My Pokémon will be, Rocker, Willie!" Dee threw a Super Ball and a Woolie Ball and revealed her two Pokémon.
"Okay, let's go," said Jay.
"Wait!" Dee threw a Super Ball up into the air. "Sky High, keep a look out!"
Her Sky High flew out of its Poké Ball, and flew around the building.
"Guard us, okay?" Dee turned to the building. "Let's go."
* * * *
Jay, Dee, Fire Orb, Ultra, and the rest of the Pokémon had been crawling around for at least ten minutes before they actually found something.
"I think I found what your Pokédex had locked onto to." Dee walked over to a small opening in the building.
The group emerged back outside, except that they ended up right in between two fallen buildings that fell onto each other and left a small opening.
Between the two buildings were several flowers, and in the center of the flowers were small crystals.
"What are they?" Jay picked one flower. Suddenly, the flower shivered up and became dust, just leaving the gem. Jay held up the gem to the light. "There's a flame in this gem . . . it's the Fire Stone." He picked another flower and the flower turned to dust leaving the gem. He held it up to the light. "This is the Electric Gem. All of these flowers yield evolution gems and stones!"
Chapter Seven: Into the Gym . . .
Agua, Ultram, Patrick, Serebii, and Pikachu all headed down to the southern part of the city.
As they were walking, the five-some had walked past dozens of fallen buildings, including what looked like a gambling building.
"This was the legendary hideout of Team Rocket," murmured Patrick. "Or it was. This was the Game Corner, a Team Rocket hideout was once under here until someone entered it and stopped the operations there."
"That's great," muttered Ultram, picking up his Pikachu. "Let's just head on out, all right?"
They continued walking until the reached the southern most part of the city, where they ran into tons and tons of giant weeds and plants.
"Great, the plants strike back," muttered Ultram. "So much for this gym."
"Well you know, all we really need to do is cut through the plants," said Agua.
"And how do you plan to do that?" asked Ultram.
Patrick smirked. "Our Pokémon." He selected two Poké Balls and hurled them to the ground. "Meganium, Victreebell!"
"Fine, whatever you say," muttered Ultram. "I summon Lickitung!"
"And I'll help my freezing the plants." Agua threw a Super Ball onto the ground. "Ice Orb, go!"
The four Pokémon appeared before them.
"I didn't know that you had a Meganium," said Agua.
Patrick smirked. "You didn't really think I only had four Pokémon, did you." He glanced at his Pokémon. "All right guys, cut attack!"
"Cut attack," ordered Ultram.
"Freeze the plants with your arctic freeze," said Agua.
"Ice," hissed Ice Orb, shooting out a cold misty air freezing the plants.
"Mega!" Patrick's dinosaur-plant Pokémon used the flowers on its neck to cut through the plants.
"Bell!" screeched Victreebell, as it's two giant leafs to cut through the plants.
"Licki!" Lickitung used it's small claws to cut through some of the plants.
Within minutes they had managed to cut through a large section of the plants that revealed a secret path.
"See," said Patrick happily, "our adventure isn't over yet. Let's go. Return Meganium, Victreebell."
"Lickitung, return." Ultram held out the Poké Ball and the red beam recalled his Pokémon.
"And Ice Orb, return." Agua smiled and Agua, Patrick and Serebii continued forward.
Ultram rolled eyes and muttered, "Dumb Patrick. If anyone should be leading this search it should be me." He picked up Pikachu. "Right Pikachu."
"Chu," said Pikachu in agreement.
Ultram walked after the two.
As they followed along the path the group reached a small clearing up ahead. They looked over a small ledge and there was another building in the shape of a Gloom. The building was also torn down, kinda, but it was the most persevered building out of all the buildings in the city. There vines surround it too, almost like they were trying to keep it stable.
"It looks like this gym was kept up by the plants," murmured Patrick. "Just like Erika would have wanted it to be."
"Well, what are you waiting for, let's go!" Ultram rushed up ahead and opened up the door. As he looked inside of the gym he suddenly stopped in fear.
Agua, Patrick, and Serebii walked over to Ultram. "What's wrong Ultram, why'd you stop?"
"I didn't mean to," cried Ultram. "Look!"
Up ahead were tons of Vileplume in the center of the gym. They had struck Ultram with some stun spore and had made him freeze. Also in the center were three roped up humans and a Fire Kat.
"They have Team Rocket," whispered Patrick.
Agua smirked. "We can handle this weeds Ultram. You just stay here."
Chapter Eight: The Plants Attack
"Serebii, Meganium, Kirehana!" Patrick threw three Poké Balls and revealed his grass Pokémon.
"Butterfree, Ice Orb!" Agua threw a Poké Ball and a Super Ball revealing her butterfly Pokémon and her orbital Pokémon.
"I can't just stand here." Ultram managed to grab a Super Ball. "Zunat, go." He dropped the ball in front of him and out flew his Venonat/Zubat mixture.
"Aw, so Jay's friends have come to visit." Suddenly, a Mew appeared in the center of the gym. "Hello Ultram, Agua, Patrick, Pikachu . . . Serebii."
"It's a Mew!" cried Agua.
"Not just any Mew." The Mew in the center of the gym hovered towards them. "You know Haunter, and your dear friend Psycho, well we all work for the same boss. They've just failed one too many times. Now I'm taking over."
"We can easily beat you!" shouted Ultram.
"You think you can beat me, do you." Mew hovered over in the center of the gym. "I'd like to see your best."
"Pikachu, thunder now!" ordered Ultram.
Ultram's Pikachu leaped up into the air and sent a mighty blast of electricity at Mew, but the rare Pokémon had managed create a light screen bubble that protected it.
"See, you can't beat me," hissed Mew. "Vileplume, attack them now!"
"Ice Orb, freeze those Vileplume with your ice beam," said Agua. "Butterfree, confusion now!"
"Zunat, leech life now," said Ultram. "Pikachu, thunderwave!"
"Meganium, Kirehana, do your best against those Vileplume," said Patrick. "Serebii, take down that Mew now!"
"Iccce," hissed Ice Orb, shooting a beam of ice at one of the Vileplume.
"Free-free!" Butterfree flew around the Vileplume releasing small blasts of psychic energy.
"Zu!" Zunat dived down at several of the Vileplume and tried biting them and sucking health from them.
"Mega!" Meganium leaped at one of the Vileplume and body slammed it, paralyzing it.
"Ha!" Kirehana shot it sleep powder at some of the Vileplume, putting them to sleep. All that remained was one Vileplume.
* * * *
"The Professor's gonna want to see these," said Jay, picking them gems and stones from the plants.
Dee glanced at Fire Orb. "Hey, maybe one of these stones will be able to help Fire Orb evolve into a Solar Orb. Maybe one of these gems could evolve it." Dee found a small plant with one strange stone in it. Dee picked it. "Maybe this'll help . . ."
But a loud screech cut them off. A giant shadow hovered over them and Jay, Dee, and their Pokémon looked upward.
"It's Planto!" shouted Jay.
Planto hovered over the building and then began flapping its wings. The strange plant-covered Moltres-like creature created a giant whirlwind and began to blow over the two buildings they were between.
Chapter Nine: Planto Strikes
The two buildings Jay, Dee, Ultra, Fire Orb, and the rest of their Pokémon were between were going to collapse and crush them!
"Fighter, strength attack!" ordered Jay.
"Rocker, strength attack!" ordered Dee.
The two fighting Pokémon managed to catch the incoming falling blocks of building.
"Everyone, run!" shouted Jay.
The group ran as far away from the small opening spot as they could, the managed to follow a small trail that led all the way to the end of another building.
Jay glanced down at Ultra. "Ultra, use your psytoss attack to levitate the following blocks so they can escape!"
"Tra!" agreed Ultra. The small psychic mouse hovered up in the air and shouted towards the two fighting Pokémon, "Ultra tra ultra ra!"
"Rock," agreed Rocker.
"Fighter fight," agreed Fighter.
They let go of the falling building and it was just hovering in the air.
"Ultra, hold it for as long as you can," ordered Jay. "Rocker, Fighter, run over here now!"
The two fighting Pokémon dashed towards their trainers, while the ruble of the grumbling buildings hovered up in the air.
There was a screech from the sky, and suddenly Dee's Sky High fell weakly to the ground.
"Sky High!" cried Dee. She recalled it into its Super Ball. She glanced around. "What could have done that?"
Suddenly, the screech of Planto came into the air again. Planto flew past Jay, Dee, Ultra, Fire Orb, Orb, Woolie, and Willie and headed straight towards the incoming Fighter and Rocker. Planto began flapping its wings again and creating another whirlwind forcing Fighter and Attack to slow them down, but it wasn't stopping them.
"Ha!" said Dee. "Planto can't stop us."
Planto's whirlwind continued, but it wasn't as powerful as before. Then, a yellowish powder shot out from its wings and paralyzed the two Pokémon.
"No!" cried Jay and Dee.
Then, Planto turned its attention over to the group. It was then it dived down at the group.
"Shoot," cursed Dee. "Fire Orb, fire wall!"
Fire Orb bobbed up and down in agreement. Fire Orb shot a blast of fire that created a giant wall, protecting them from Planto but trapping them.
"Great, we're stuck between a 'rock' . . .." Jay glanced at the fallen building, "and a hot place." Jay then glanced at the wall of fire. "This should be fun."
"What about Fighter and Rocker?" asked Dee. "We have to rescue them."
"If we can't save ourselves, them how could be possibly save them?" explained Jay. "If we could blast through this building it'd be no problem."
"Willie, mega punch," said Dee. "Fire Orb, fire blast."
"Ultra, psyblast attack," said Jay. "Orb, hyper beam! Woolie, triple punch!"
The five attacks headed straight towards the building the building, but the building didn't budge.
There was another whirlwind from Planto and it blew out Fire Orb's fire wall. Then, Planto dived at the group.
Then, the building suddenly exploded as five solar beams shot through it and hit Planto. On the other side of the newly totaled building were five Kirehana. The five solar beams, were surprisingly strong and slammed Planto backwards into another fallen building, except it ended up collapsing on it.
"Kire a han!" ordered the Kirehana.
"I think . . . I think it wants us to follow it," said Jay.
"Let's go," said Dee.
Chapter Ten: The Evil Pokémon's Attack
"Serebii!" growled Patrick's Pokémon. Serebii hovered up and shot three leech seeds at Mew.
"Ha, can't beat me with that." Mew closed its eyes and used its psychic powers and deaden the seeds and they just fell to the ground. "See how you can go up against this!" Mew flew towards Serebii holding out its glowing fist. Mew used its mega punch and sent Serebii flying backwards.
Serebii shook off the punch and created a blast of psychic energy at Mew.
"Can't beat my psychic attack!" Mew shot a blast of psychic energy at Serebii's. Surprisingly, the two psychic attacks matched each other perfectly.
"Bii, ser sere bi!" growled Serebii.
"Me, underestimate you," muttered Mew. "Hyper beam!"
Serebii held out its hand and shot a blast of giant rocks straight at Mew's hyper beam.
The atom force attack and the hyper beam attack collided, but Serebii's atom force attack crushed Mew's hyper beam destroying Mew's blast.
"What!" Mew was crushed by Serebii's rock and was slammed into the floor. Mew fell down next to its fellow Vileplume. "I'm getting my butt out of here." Mew quickly teleported away.
All that stood was a Vileplume.
"Give it up Vileplume," ordered Ultram. "We've won! We beat your leader and the rest of your Pokémon! The odds are on our sides."
{They're on your side, huh?} Vileplume shoved Team Rocket down onto the floor. {I still think that the odds are on my side. Recall your Pokémon now, or Team Rocket gets it.}
Ultram frowned. "Damn." He lifted up a Poké Ball and a Super Ball, now that he wasn't paralyzed anymore. "Sorry guys. Pikachu, Zunat, return!"
"Ice Orb, Butterfree, return now!" Agua recalled her two Pokémon into their balls.
"Meganium, Kirehana, and Serebii, return." Patrick held out the three Poké Balls and recalled his Pokémon.
{Good call,} said the Vileplume. {Now it's time to do some reviving.} The top of Vileplume's flower began glowing and it shot a solar beam up into the sky, revealing sunlight. The sun poured down onto the injured Vileplume and began healing the other Vileplume.
Ultram, Agua, and Patrick slowly backed away and tried to get away from the Vileplume.
{I don't think so!} Suddenly, giant vines shot up into the air and blocked the exit for the group. The Vileplume slowly walked towards them. {You aren't leaving just yet! All Vileplume, stun spore now!}
Before Ultram and the others could react, the Vileplume shot the yellowish powder, paralyzing the group.
Ultram, Patrick, and Agua all fell to the ground weakly. Ultram moaned, "It's over . . ."
"Ki!" Suddenly five fully evolved Oddish shot a giant hole into the wall and hit the Vileplume. Five Kirehana danced into the room, performing their petal dance. The Kirehana bashed into the Vileplume and shot sleep powder onto the Vileplume.
One of the Kirehana dripped a yellowish serum onto the three Pokémon trainers, and they were able to move once more.
"Kire a han," ordered the Kirehana.
"It wants us to follow it," whispered Patrick.
Chapter Eleven: The Destruction of Celadon City
Jay, Dee, Agua, Ultram, Patrick, Fire Orb, and Ultra all met up together when the whole group of Kirehana led them to a small hidden forest outside of the ruins of Celadon City.
"Where's Serebii and Pikachu?" asked Dee, as she and Jay walked over to their friends. "Where are they?"
Ultram and Patrick held up their Poké Balls, holding their Pokémon.
"What happened?" asked Jay.
"We were attacked by Vileplume, who have Team Rocket and are possibly guarding the treasure," explained Patrick. "You?"
"We found some evolution stones and gems growing out of plants," said Dee. "But, we bumped into Planto, and it destroyed two buildings and trapped Fighter and Rocker, or possibly killed them. Then, we were rescued by these Kirehana."
"Ditto," said Agua. She turned to the Pokémon. "What do you want from us? Why are you here?"
A larger Kirehana, the one that had healed Ultram, Agua, and Patrick walked over to them. {This all as to do with The Master.}
The group slowly backed up. "It has the psychic speech."
{Do not be alarmed,} said the Kirehana. {Let us explain what has happened to Celadon City. Let me explain what has happened from destruction to now . . ..}
"How?" asked Patrick. "How could we possibly picture a destruction like this in our minds?"
{Like this.} The Kirehana closed its eyes and suddenly the scenery around them changed to a bright, sunny, and happy place. It was filled with children, people, buildings that weren't turned over, and of course, Pokémon of all shapes and sizes. {A long time ago, Celadon City was a happy, busy, and peaceful place, just as your current Celadon City II is.}
"So what happened?" asked Ultram.
{One day . . ..} Suddenly, the skies of Celadon City darkened and it began to rain heavily. {Scientists a while ago were creating new Pokémon creatures through splicing and altering Pokémon DNA genes. These are your current Super Pokémon. The scientists were working on cloning and altering genes of several of the legendary birds, and the rare bird Pokémon Lugia. The scientists had created a plant-version of Moltres called Planto.}
"That would be our big bird," muttered Jay.
{Using the DNA of Moltres and the DNA of a special kind of plant, they created Planto,} said Kirehana. {All of the birds were eventually released and drifted off to different places to roam, or in the case of several Pokémon like Psybird and Planto, to cause great trouble.} Suddenly, the screech of Planto alarmed, and the deadly flying/plant Pokémon appeared in the skies and began destroying the city. {Planto destroyed Celadon City, even though members of the Elite Four and Erika and the Celadon City Gym members tried to stop it. Eventually, they were able conceal Planto.} The scenery then changed to what seemed to be the current Celadon City, except a little bit brighter and not filled with Vileplume.
"Is that the end of the story?" asked Dee.
{Unfortunately, no,} said Kirehana. {Erika decided to dedicate this area for grass Pokémon. All different kinds of grass Pokémon from small Oddish, to Ivysaur, to Meganium, and Kirehana roamed the area. The Kirehana were kind of the Pokémon in charge.} Pictures of tons of grass Pokémon filled the city, and Erika was in the middle. {Erika watched over the city, until the day she passed away. A few days later . . . The Master arrived and took things over with his herd of Vileplume.}
The scenery changed a suddenly a giant, shadowy creature appeared in the center of the city, accompanied by a Gengar, a Haunter, and a Gastly, and of course a giant herd of Vileplume.
"That's The Master?" whispered Agua. "That shadow creature?"
Jay frowned. "And look who he's with, a ghastly trio. The Gastly's from Chris' gym, Gengar's the one who took over Agatha's spirit, and Haunter is the ghost we've recently been dealing with. The Master must be the one in charge of everyone, he's the leader. He's the one giving orders to Psycho too, and probably more stuff we're missing."
{The Master took over Celadon City with his Vileplume,} said the Kirehana, {since no one truly cared about the city anymore. All of the grass Pokémon were wiped out since they weren't useful, all except for the Kirehana and Planto, who The Master had released once more. The Kirehana were The Master's slaves, then one day, a strange creature gave us hope and freedom and we weren't affected any more and hid in the forest. That just left the Vileplume and Planto to rule the city, up until now.}
"That's why you're able to use the psychic speech," said Patrick.
"What did you mean up until now?" asked Jay.
{We need you to save our city.}
Chapter Twelve: The Plan to Plant Planto
Jay thought for a moment. "How come we are always the ones who have to face pure evil and fight creatures like Gengar, Planto, Lugia? How come can't face you know . . . evil people or something? That seems so much more simple."
"Jay," said Dee, "open up your Pokédex for a second."
Jay frowned. "I just got over my headache. That thing's just gonna start babbling on."
As Jay was pulling his Pokédex out of his pocket, it growled, "Hey, I do not babble! I give out facts for you Jay. You should be grateful that I even do what I'm suppose to do, you haven't taken that great of care of me. Do you know how messy that pocket of yours is?"
"What did you want to know?" Jay asked Dee.
"Two things." Dee pulled out a strange gem. "Pokédex, what is this gem? And will it be able to help my Fire Orb to evolve?"
"Searching," said the Pokédex. "Aw, here we go. This is the mysterious gem, more formally known as the psychic gem. These two gems were once rumored to be the same thing, until experiments shown that they had the same effect, it's similar to the moon stone. And no, I'm sorry nothing can seem to make your Fire Orb evolve."
"Oh, said Dee. She smirked. " Here's my other question. 'Dex, try to locate the Boda plant Professor Oak Jr. wants for his potion?"
The Pokédex went silent for a moment. It only murmured "Searching" from time to time. Finally, the Pokédex said, "I can't get a fix on it. The plants you were looking at before weren't it. It seems the plant keeps on moving and changing spots."
"Just as I thought," said Dee. "Guess what plant that made Planto out of?"
"The Boda plant," said Jay, Ultram, and Patrick at once.
"Yeah, I knew that," said Agua.
Jay smirked. "Okay, then when it uses its leech seed attack, that'll be a Boda Plant, right?"
"That's it's special attack," sad Jay's 'dex. "It's an advanced leech seed, called Boda leech seed."
"Boda Seed," said Dee. "Two different things. Boda Seeds grow into Boda Vines, which are completely different things too. We need the Boda Plant that probably only grow on Planto."
Agua sighed. "So that means who have several objects, huh? The first one is we have to rescue Fighter, Rocker, and Team Rocket. That's something we have to do. Next two objects we'll split into groups again, with Team Rocket which will be helpful: One group will go off, Dee must be in this group, to try to capture Planto, while the second group goes to find this treasure, Patrick must be in this group, and it may be the only thing that could help us capture Planto."
{We can help too,} said the leader Kirehana. {Your Pokémon, Fighter and Rocker, are trapped in the Mart building, correct?}
"Yeah," said Jay and Dee.
{We can rescue them,} said Kirehana. {Meanwhile, another group of us will get Planto's attention so your groups will be in the clear. We'll have a third group to steer the Vileplume's attention away from you so you can get Team Rocket.}
Patrick nodded. "Okay, if we're dealing with 'The Master' and his friends, we'll probably need our friends who defected."
Jay nodded. "I get it. Psyghost, I choose you!"
"My Pokémon will be, Lugia!" said Dee.
"Serebii!" ordered Patrick.
"Ultram summons Borlax!" ordered Ultram
The four Pokémon appeared before their trainers.
{Jay's Ultra, Dee's Fire Orb, and Ultram's Pikachu will be key too,} said the Kirehana.
Jay and Dee nodded, and their Pokémon stepped forward.
"Ultram summons Pikachu!" Ultram threw a Poké Ball, and revealed his electric mouse Pokémon.
"Okay, it's time for our plan to plant that Planto to begin," growled Jay.
"Corny," said Dee, Agua, Ultram, and Patrick all at once.
All of the Pokémon agreed.
Jay looked sadly down at the ground. "Yeah, okay."
Chapter Thirteen: The Plan Begins . . .
Jay, Dee, Agua, Ultram, Patrick, Pikachu, Fire Orb, Ultra, Psyghost, Lugia, and Serebii all headed down back towards the Celadon Gym. No Vileplume and the screeching Planto didn't appear and attack them.
When the reached the inside of the gym, all they found was the leader Vileplume guarding Team Rocket.
The Vileplume looked up, and frowned. {What are all you doing here.}
"We're here to save them! Ultra, Psyghost, psyblast!" ordered Jay.
"Lugia, air beam!" ordered Dee. "Fire Orb, fire blast!"
"Pikachu, thunder!" ordered Ultram. "Borlax, hyper beam attack!"
"Serebii, psychic attack," said Patrick.
The seven attacks all hit Vileplume, and it sent the plant Pokémon flying backwards and bashed it into the wall. The Vileplume slowly passed out from the attack.
Agua rushed over to Team Rocket, but they had passed out for some strange reason. "See, I knew I'd eventually have use a Pokémon. Horsea, we need you!" Agua tossed out a Poké Ball, and revealed her small seahorse Pokémon. "Horsea, water gun now!"
"Sea!" said Agua's Horsea. "Horse sea!" Horsea sprayed Team Rocket and suddenly woke them up.
"Wah!" cried Team Rocket, as they were all suddenly were awoken by Agua's Horsea. "Hey, watch who you're spraying, will ya!"
"You four should be polite to the person who is about to untie you," growled Agua.
"Yes ma'am," said Team Rocket.
Agua untied Team Rocket and explained what was going on.
"So you expect us to help you twerps," growled Fire Kat.
Jay walked over to Fire Kat, and lifted up the flaming feline. "Listen, Planto is out there. He is on a rampage, and if you try to escape, it'll follow you, possibly to your base, and kill you anyway. This way, we can band together and try to stop it, okay?" Jay dropped Fire Kat to the ground.
"Fine, Team Rocket will help the twerps," said Fire Kat. "But only for my sake of surviving."
"How kind," muttered Kelly.
"Okay," said Jay. "Dee, Kelly, Mike, and I will go up north to try to rescue Fighter and Rocker. Meanwhile, Patrick, Ultram, Agua, Nick, accompanied by Fire Kat, will stay here and try to find Erika's treasure."
"Right," said Patrick and the others.
Chapter Fourteen: Mew's Revenge
Jay, Dee, Kelly, Mike, Ultra, Fire Orb, Psyghost, and Lugia all headed north back towards the mart that had fallen and trapped Jay and Dee's Pokémon.
"Ultra, use your ultra shocker!" ordered Jay. "Psyghost, psyblast!"
"Fire Orb, use your fire blast!" ordered Dee. "Lugia, air beam!"
The four attacks hit the building and created a giant explosion, and blew a giant hole in the wall, but it wasn't large enough.
"Again!" ordered Jay and Dee.
The two trainers' Pokémon tried blasting their way through the building, but it wasn't working.
"We could be here forever," murmured Jay.
"All you have to do is ask for help." Kelly threw two Poké Balls and a Super Ball that revealed Alakazam, Ratorina, and Vileplume.
"Yeah, just a little help is needed." Mike threw two Super Balls and a Poké Ball that revealed Gaser, Smogger, and Gengar.
"Vileplume, petal dance," said Kelly, "Alakazam, psychic attack. Ratorina, double kick attack."
"Gaser, explosion," said Mike. "Smogger, sludge bomb. Gengar, night shade now."
Ultra, Psyghost, Fire Orb, Lugia, Vileplume, Gaser, Smogger, and Gengar all used their attacks on the building, and created a larger and deeper hole in the wall, but it wasn't deep enough.
Jay rushed over to Kelly's ignoring Pokémon. "You two must help, please. I know you guys are, and I mean this in the nicest way when I say, bad-asses. You are strong and great, and I truly and deeply need your help. Will you listen to Kelly this once?"
Alakazam sighed and then nodded. The Pokémon used its psychic powers and blasted through the wall.
With only a little wall left, Kelly's Ratorina leaped at the wall and broke through it with her double kick. Ratorina landed on the other side of the wall with a thump.
The group rushed to the other side of the wall to find a Ratorina glowing brightly. She had landed right onto the mysterious gem. Ratorina began glowing and started growing into a greater, larger Pokémon.
"Ratoqueen!" growled Kelly's Pokémon.
There was clapping from above. "Bravo Kelly. Looks like your pathetic Ratorina has stumbled onto evolution." Hovering in the air was a Mew. "Hi, I'm Mew. I am one of The Master's henchmen. As I recall, you've done business with my friends, Psycho and Haunter."
"Nothing much," growled Jay, "just some short business argument I ended up winning. Ultra, thunder shocker!"
"Tra!" Ultra charged up and sent a blast of electricity towards Mew, but the psychic Pokémon teleported out of the way.
"No trying to fry me yet Ultra," said Mew. "Especially since I have some seeds here you might like." Mew held up two seeds. "I found your injured Pokémon here, and I thought that my Master would like them as Pokémon. So, I incased them in these seeds, but I could just as easily pop them open and kill them."
"You can't beat us!" shouted Dee. She glanced back at Ultra, Fire Orb, Lugia, Psyghost, Alakazam, Ratoqueen, Vileplume, Gaser, Smoggie, and Gengar. "We have Pokémon ten-times stronger than you!"
Mew chuckled. "You'd be surprised who's on my team."
Suddenly, from behind Mew, came a loud screech and Planto shot up into the air.
Chapter Fifteen: Erika's Treasure?
Patrick, Ultram, and Agua all tried digging for Erika's treasure, but it was utterly useless. It would take forever to find the treasure.
"This sucks," muttered Ultram.
"This is taking too long," muttered Patrick. He turned towards Serebii. "Can you help us try to find it with your psychic powers?"
Serebii bobbed up and down, though it wasn't sure it could.
Agua smirked. "Waver may be able to help. You know, it could sink through the cracks and find what we're looking for." She threw a Super Ball. "Waver, we need you!"
Nick walked over to the struggling diggers. "Do you guys need some help or something? Help digging or something?"
"Duh!" said Ultram.
"Waver, sink down to try to find the treasure," said Agua.
"So what if you find the treasure," said Nick. "It's going to take forever to dig up."
Patrick took a deep breath, as Serebii was probing the area. "What do you propose Nick? Explaining what we're doing wrong?"
Nick chuckled. "I propose doing this. Snake Glare, Rhyoking, Dugtrio, go!" Nick threw two Super Balls and a Poké Ball that revealed his Pokémon. "Snake Glare and Dugtrio can help dig to find the treasure, while Rhyoking can drill down to help dig."
Ultram turned to Fire Kat. "What about you?"
"Your Pokémon aren't helping, neither am I." Fire Kat walked over to Pikachu and Borlax, and slumped down. "So shut up."
Waver surfaced up and began gurgling to Agua.
She nodded and held out a Super Ball. "Waver, return!" Agua turned to the others. "It's somewhere in the arena."
* * * *
Ultram, Patrick, Agua, and Nick began digging in the arena, while Rhyoking was drilling a hole, and Dugtrio and Snake Glare were digging holes in the ground searching for the treasure.
Within five minutes, Nick's Snake Glare surfaced and started shouting and hissing.
"Snake Glare found something!" shouted Nick. He turned to Dugtrio. "Dugtrio, lift it up!"
"Trio-trio-trio." Dugtrio shot into the ground and then shot up with a treasure chest on top of its head which landed on the ground next to him.
Patrick rushed to the chest and frowned. "It's locked shut."
Fire Kat walked up. "Move out of the way! This is a Pokémon's job! Pikachu I know you want to help your master, and Borlax I know you're bored, so help me out! Pikachu, use thunderbolt while Borlax uses its hyper beam. Meanwhile, I'll use raging fire!"
"Pika . . . chu!"
"Bor . . . lax!"
The three attacks hit the lock and it blasted open. Patrick opened up the chest. Inside was . . . a Super Ball?
"Huh?" Patrick picked it up and looked at it closer. On the ball was a name engraved on it. "Oh, I get it!"
Then, there was a loud screech off in the distance.
"It's Planto," growled Patrick. "I think I know how we can defeat it! Let's go!"
"Well, here we go," said Ultram
Chapter Sixteen: Plant that Planto!
"What are you going to do now?" growled Mew. "Seem a bit lost!" He began glowing as it hovered up into the air. "This could take a moment, but this attack will surely defeat you!"
Jay threw a Super Ball. "Orb, go!"
Dee knew exactly what he was thinking and tossed Jay the mysterious gem. "Evolve it!"
"Right!" Jay rubbed the gem on Orb, and it swiftly evolved into Super Orb. "Super Orb, create a light screen now!"
Kelly smirked. "Alakazam, psychic! Full blast, now!"
"Ultra, use your psyblast attack!" ordered Jay. "Psyghost, you too! Destroy the buildings around us!"
"Lugia, air blast attack at Planto!" Dee shouted.
"Orb!" Super Orb put up a light screen, to block Mew's attack, which quickly turned the light screen to stone and shattered it.
Then, Alakazam, Ultra, and Psyghost created a mighty blast of psychic energy and blew up the buildings around them, turning them to dust.
"Aw, a bigger battling arena." Mew began glowing again.
"Ratoqueen, hyper beam attack," said Kelly.
"Gengar, night shade now!" said Mike.
Team Rocket's two Pokémon shot their attacks at Mew, and surprisingly hit it. The Master's commander slammed into the ground, dropped the seeds, and then quickly teleported away. As it teleported away, it whispered, "Kill them Planto . . ."
The two seeds broke opened and revealed Jay and Dee's Pokémon.
"Return!" they quickly ordered.
"Gaser, toxic attack!" ordered Mike.
"Alakazam, psychic attack!" ordered Kelly.
Team Rocket's other two Pokémon shot their attacks at the flying plant Pokémon, but the legendary Super Pokémon managed to dodge the attacks, then slam into them.
"Lugia, air beam attack!" ordered Dee.
Lugia inhaled, converted air into a beam of energy, and shot it at Planto. Amazingly, Planto put up a light screen and blocked the attack.
"Lugia, return!" Dee recalled the rare Pokémon.
"Dee!" Dee turned around, and there was Patrick, running towards the group, followed by the others. Patrick was holding a Super Ball in the air. "Dee, catch!"
He hurled the ball at Dee, and she caught it. She looked at it, and engraved on it was the word "Planto." She smirked, realizing this was Planto's Super Ball. She held it up and tried recalling it. Planto shot back into its ball and was quickly recalled.
"That was easy," murmured Jay.
Suddenly, the ball began to rumble and Planto broke free.
"We have to do what we did with Auqtrias and Lugia!" shouted Jay. "Weaken it first, then convert it to the good side! Ultra, use your ultra shocker!"
"Articuno, blizzard now!" shouted Dee.
The two attacks hit Planto, and it quickly fell to the ground.
"Psyghost, hypnosis attack!" ordered Jay. "Then change your dream eater into that converting attack to change Planto into a good Pokémon. Release the darkness, or whatever."
{Right!} Psyghost teleported right next to Planto. {Hypnosis attack!} Psyghost released hypnotic waves and put Planto to sleep. {Now time for converter, time to erase the darkness within.} Psyghost used its dream eater to remove the darkness and put it in Psyghost, but Psyghost's system automatically destroyed the darkness.
Agua glanced towards Dee. "Do it girl."
"Planto, return!" Dee held out Planto's Super Ball, and recalled the legendary Pokémon to its ball. She smirked. "It's all over . . . finally."
* * * *
"Kirehana, how can we thank you for helping us?" asked Jay.
{No, thank you,} said the leader Kirehana. {You saved my fellow Kirehana from the Vileplume and Planto. The Vileplume have all left, and Planto's been tamed, it's a brighter day now. The only thing I can do is hand over my serves to you.}
Jay nodded. He held out a Super Ball. "Thanks Kirehana, you will always be in our debt." He tossed the ball and Kirehana entered it and it was captured.
Jay, Dee, Agua, Ultram, Pikachu, and Ultra all turned to Patrick and Serebii. Ultram walked towards Patrick. "Patrick, I hope to see you again. You're a good friend. And maybe we'll meet again."
Patrick smirked. "I hope so." He held out his hand. "Jay, see you around. Agua, Dee, you guys too."
Jay, Dee, and Agua put their hands on Patrick. "Bye Patrick."
"Oh, and here." Patrick handed the group notes. "It's from Team Rocket. They're thank you notes, and they're sorry they couldn't do their mottos." Patrick took Serebii in his arms. "Bye guys." Patrick headed towards the other side of the city.
Jay turned towards the other way. "Let's head back to Lavender Town."
As Jay and the other's journeys continue, there's a serious problem. And it involves a gym battle and some rescuing. It's time for Jay to face off with Group Missile once more, and challenge a gym in: The Rocket Gym.
