Episode XXXIX
The Rocky Roads of Rockster
Jay Barial
Chapter One: The Foot of Victory Road
After departing from Meager Village, alternating between Winger and Flamed, Jay and his small and closer Pokémon head southeast of his hometown and towards the mountainous Victory Road. Several hours after he had left, he had finally reached the giant mountain that would lead him to the Pokémon League Games.
"Thanks Winger," said Jay, holding out the Pidgeot/Fearow hybrid's Super Ball. "I'll let you rest for awhile, until we reach the top of the Victory Road."
"Wing," agreed the bird Pokémon with a caw. "Wing ger!" A red beam of light shot from the black and white Poké Ball and recalled the bird back into it.
Ultra, Fire Orb, Litatra, and Mewie all looked up at Jay, preparing to hear what they should do.
"One second." Jay pulled out his Pokédex, which was remaining silent for the moment. He fiddled around with it and switched Winger for his newly acquired Thundeer.
"Well, that's your first good pre-League Games move," replied Jay's Pokédex.
Jay sighed and ignored the little machine. "All right guys," said Jay, "you all should get ready for a long hike ahead of you."
"Tra," whined the little Litatra, as its ears drooped down. "Lit ta?"
Jay smirked. "Don't worry, we'll take acouple of breaks. But the League Games start tomorrow, so we can't waste too much time."
"Fire orb-orb fir ra?" asked Fire Orb.
"Well, there are other routes," said Jay, "but I want one last challenge before I reach the Pokémon League."
"Ultra ra-ra tra," muttered Ultra.
Jay glared and growled, "Ultram would not have a faster route. Ultram would have scaling the mountain." He picked up Litatra and Mewie, and signaled for Ultra and Fire Orb to follow.
* * * *
"Ha-ha!" Muchuru pointed up ahead, and there was the mountainous Victory Road.
"We're here," said Kelly, turning towards Mike, Nick, and Fire Kat. She viewed out of Team Rocket's Fearow-jet and said, "Victory Road is just up ahead."
Team Rocket, who had been trailing Jay and his Pokémon since Meager Village, had finally reached the Victory Road. Now that he had separated from Dee, Agua, and Ultram, there'd be no possible way for Jay to be able to stop all three of them.
"Yeah," said Nick, "this should be as simple as stealing candy from a baby . . . especially since Kelly can finally use her Alakazam and Ratoqueen."
Kelly slowly turned to Nick and was about to pull a lever to drop Nick from the jet, when Mike grabbed her back. "We'll dump him later."
"Would you three idiots shut up," said Fire Kat, who was in the pilot seat, flying the jet. Suddenly, Bubbi and Elekid jumped up and grabbed Fire Kat and started pulling and tugging at him. "OW! Would you three idiots recall your baby Pokémon."
"Muchuru, return," ordered Kelly.
"Bubbi, return," ordered Mike.
"Elekid, return," ordered Nick.
As the Fearow-jet flew closer and closer towards the mountainous Victory Road, there was a rumble from the peak of the mountain and there was a loud cawing noise. Suddenly, disguised by its rocky surroundings, a giant rock-bird Pokémon emerged from the top of Victory Road. It flew straight towards the Fearow-jet and . . .
"NO!" cried Fire Kat.
"What is it! What happened!" cried the trio of humans. Suddenly, they felt a suddenly drop as the Fearow-jet hurled down towards the ground.
The Fearow-shaped jet hit the ground with a loud crash. The four Team Rocket members slowly crawled out of their busted jet and waddled out of the jet. The four-some all peered upward to see what had hit them.
Suddenly, the shadow of a Moltres-like creature flew overhead.
"What was that!" cried Mike.
"It's the guardian of the Victory Road," replied Fire Kat. "Not even Jay could get pass that Pokémon." He turned back towards the Fearow-jet and sighed. "Doesn't matter though. We won't be around to see it because we have to deal with our broken jet."
"You'd think Team Rocket would at least get to blast off," murmured Nick, "or maybe say our motto . . ."
Mike and Kelly whacked Nick on the head and shouted, "Nick! Quit complaining about our dilemma!"
"Yeah," said Fire Kat. "We have to get the jet up by tomorrow so we can get to the Pokémon League Competition!"
Chapter Two: Trainer Battle
After entering the Victory Road, Jay and his Pokémon swiftly bumped into a Pokémon trainer that was also heading up towards the Pokémon League Competition.
"How about a three on three battle," said Jay to his older opponent, Paul.
"Fine by me," replied Paul.
Jay nodded and selected a Super Ball and replied, "right! Let this match begin!"
"All right, Riushi attack!" Paul selected the black and white Super Ball and hurled to the ground and from it emerged the blue lizard Super Pokémon with the plant on its back and tail.
"I choose you, Venustoise!" Jay hurled a Super Ball to the ground and from it shot out the Blastoise/Venusaur mixture.
"Shi!" growled Riushi.
"Stoise," growled Venustoise deadly.
"Venustoise, body slam attack now!" ordered Jay.
"Riushi, use your agility attack," replied Paul calmly.
Venustoise hurled up in its shell and tried to crushed Riushi, but the small Pokémon was too agile and easily evaded the huge Pokémon's attacks.
"Freeze whip," said Paul.
"I have a feeling you're underestimating me," replied Jay. "Venustoise, match its freeze whip with your own!"
As Venustoise attempted to emerge from its shell, Riushi swiftly shot its vines at the Pokémon. It managed to freeze up enough of Venustoise's shell that it was unable to move.
"I think I thought more of you when you first started out," replied Paul. "Riushi, leaf cannon attack!"
Jay smirked. "There you go again. Venustoise, burn powder now!"
As Riushi jumped into the air and released a furious blast of leafs that slashed by the partly frozen Venustoise, Jay's Super Pokémon released an orange color powder upon the frost, melting it away.
"Now, aim your burn powder towards Riushi!" shouted Jay.
"Whirlwind it away!" ordered Paul.
Jay had anticipated that Paul's Riushi would use whirlwind by creating a whirlwind with its vines. But, Riushi inhaled and blew a giant gust of wind that sent the burn powder flying back towards Venustoise.
"Ack!" cried Jay. "Venustoise, withdraw and roll!"
Venustoise withdrew back into its giant shell and started rolling back and forth until it started rolling around the rocky area, and eventually put out the fire that surrounded him.
"Only because I'm so kind," said Paul, "I'll finish you off with Riushi's powerful hydro pumps attack. Do it!"
"Ri!" Riushi inhaled and shot a powerful blast of water that even made Venustoise start to topple and fell backwards, slightly cracking its shell.
Chapter Three: The Raging Battle
"Venustoise, nice try," said Jay, enlarging its Super Ball. "Return, Venustoise." As he put away Venustoise's Super Ball, with swiftly drew out Wurm's Super Ball. "I choose you! Come on out, Wurm!" He hurled the ball towards Riushi and from it emerged the large serpent Super Pokémon.
"Your Wurm is no match for Riushi," said Paul. "Riushi, leaf cannon attack."
"You don't think my Wurm could be a Riushi?" Jay laughed. "Wurm can easily counter that. Counter with your ice beam attack!"
Using its agility and speed, Wurm managed to dive at Riushi and was able to dodge the incoming leafs. When it got in close range, it fired a deadly beam of ice that froze of the Pokémon in ice.
"Kinda sucks, huh?" replied Jay, with a satisfied smirk as he glanced at Paul's shocked face. "I'd suggest recalling."
Paul glared as he recalled his small plant Pokémon. "Return, Riushi!" As he recalled the Pokémon, he was already throwing another Super Ball to the ground. "I just caught this Pokémon, so it may not be completely at full strength! Go, Scorpidox!"
From the Super Ball emerged the scorpion Super Pokémon that dwelled in the Victory Road. "Dox!"
"This should be fun," said Jay. "Wurm, soak Scorpidox with your water cannon attack!"
"Scorpidox, use your agility now," said Paul.
The end of Wurm coiled up, to allow Wurm's "neck" and head to hover in the air, like a snake charmer would do. It fired numerous blasts of water at the arachnid-type Pokémon, but it was so swift and agile that Wurm couldn't land at hit.
And then finally, Wurm lost track of it when it landed on the ceiling above Jay's Pokémon.
"Scorpidox," said Paul, "web cannons attack, now!"
Scorpidox fired balls of webbing at the confused Wurm, and hit the Pokémon in the back. When the webbing knocked the Pokémon to the floor, it trapped Wurm when it stuck itself to the floor.
"Arachnid drain!" ordered Paul.
Scorpidox launched itself from the ceiling onto Wurm's back. The scorpion Pokémon sunk its teeth into Wurm's back, draining poison into the dragon Super Pokémon's body.
"Wurm, use your strength to break through!" ordered Jay.
"Scorpidox," said Paul, "use your strength to hold it down!"
The deadly scorpion Super Pokémon held down the dragon Pokémon, but the true blue dragon wasn't giving up. Wurm was able to use all of its strength to send Scorpidox flying backwards and breaking through the webbing.
"Wurm," said Jay, "time for a surprise attack! Let's use the attack we've been practicing! Wurm, tornado attack!"
Wurm nodded. The Pokémon's entire body stood erect as it stood on its tail. Jay's Pokémon started spinning around and around and created a giant tornado of dragon-type energy. The blast sent Scorpidox flying backwards. Scorpidox tried to maneuver itself in the air, but it didn't work and ended up crashing and breaking into a rock.
"Sorry Scorpidox," said Paul, holding out a Super Ball and recalling the Pokémon into it. "If I were, I'd recall my Wurm."
"Why?" asked Jay, glancing at his dragon Super Pokémon as it came out of its spinning tornado attack. Suddenly, he noticed something about Wurm. "Oh, it's poisoned. Yeah, you're right." Jay held out a Super Ball and recalled Wurm.
Chapter Four: The Electric Conclusion
Jay glanced down at Ultra, who was sitting with Fire Orb, Litatra, and Mewie. "Are you ready Ultra?"
Ultra's ears perked up and darted in front of Jay. "Tra ra!"
Paul smirked. "I'm guessing that's your starting Pokémon. If that's the case, then I guess I should use my most powerful electric Pokémon." This time, Paul selected the red and white Poké Ball. "Time for the first regular Pokémon of the round! Go Electabuzz!"
"Buzz!" growled the Electabuzz as it emerged from the Poké Ball in front of Ultra. The much larger Pokémon cast a giant shadow of the little Ultra.
"Electabuzz, thunder punch," said Paul.
"Ultra, teleport attack to evade," said Jay.
Electabuzz lunged at Jay's Ultra, but it used its psychic abilities to dodge the attack. Electabuzz spun around to where Ultra reappeared, but it teleported away again. As Electabuzz continued trying to hit Ultra, its electricity continued to charge up and start to speed up Electabuzz until.
"Buzz!" Electabuzz released a powerful blast of electricity in its thunder punch as it hit Ultra just as it reappeared from its teleport attack.
"Tra!" Ultra went flying backwards and skidded on the ground towards Jay. "Ul ra . . . tra."
"Ultra, are you okay?"
"Ra," replied the small mouse as it got up.
"Quick attack," ordered Paul.
Jay glared as the speedy Electabuzz darted straight towards Ultra. "Stop it with your light screen ability, now!"
Ultra created an invisible wall just as Electabuzz lunged towards Jay's Pokémon. As it headed towards Ultra it bounced off the wall and stumbled backwards.
"Break through the light screen with your swift attack," said Paul.
Electabuzz released a furious blast of swift-stars that shattered Ultra's light screen and rapidly Jay's Super Pokémon.
"Ultra, use your reflect attack," ordered Jay.
Ultra created another invisible wall, but this time it reflected the swift attack starts back at Electabuzz and it started to stumble backwards.
"Thunder shocker!" ordered Jay.
"Electabuzz," said Paul, "release your powerful thunderbolt attack, now!"
The two attacks hit each other at full force and the two attacks created a bubble of electric energy that caused an explosion, sending both Pokémon flying backwards.
"Electabuzz," said Paul, "a full fury of electric energy! Thunder ball!"
"Ultra," said Jay, "you can beat it if you use psyblast attack!"
Electabuzz focused a ball of electricity in its hands and hurled it toward Ultra. But Ultra was already focusing all the surrounding psychic energy. The energy entered Ultra and then . . .
"Ultra-ultra!" Ultra shimmered as it released a blast of psychic energy.
The blast of energy hit the incoming thunder ball attack, but the psychic energy destroyed the ball and center Electabuzz tumbling backwards.
"Ultra," said Jay, "finish it off! Ultra shocker!"
Ultra focused all the surrounding electrical energy given off by both him and Electabuzz and charged itself up. Then, Ultra released an enormous blast of electrical energy that created a brilliant streaking light throughout the cave and the electricity hit Electabuzz.
"Your Ultra," said Paul picking up Electabuzz's red and white Poké Ball, "it is strong. I have a feeling you'll do well in your Pokémon League Competition." He glanced at his injured electric-type Pokémon.
Jay smiled. "See, knew you'd stop underestimating me." He bent down and picked up his Ultra as he ran into his arms.
"You're still kinda, I dunno," said Paul, "overconfident or something." He turned away and headed towards a tunnel in the cave. "Maybe I'll see you over at the League Games." He walked away.
* * * *
The powerful ultra shocker that Jay had ordered Ultra to use had created a giant flash of light that surged throughout the cave. But, as the light shot through the cave, it caught the attention of a deadly Super Pokémon.
After attacking Team Rocket, the giant rock-bird Super Pokémon had flown back into the cave instead of on the outside. As he flew towards its hidden perch at the top of the cave, the brilliant flash of light temporarily blinded the bird and it ended up crashing into the side of Victory Road.
The bird squawked angrily, and slowly turned its attention towards where the light had come from . . . Ultra and Jay.
Chapter Five: The Super Pokémon, Rockster
"Well, I didn't like him," replied Jay, turning back to Fire Orb, Litatra, and Mewie and placing Ultra down next to him. "Too confident my as-"
"Assuming you're the best is always a mistake," replied Jay's Pokédex from his pocket, "especially since most of us know you aren't the best. And he's right." Jay slowly pulled his Pokédex from his pocket. "You are overconfident."
"Darn," replied Jay, "and I thought you stopped talking." He shook his Pokédex around and then replied, "'Dex, buddy old pal. Could you stop talking for awhile?"
Suddenly, there was a deadly tremor that surged through the mountain. As the quake continued there was a loud cracking noise.
"Lit ta!" cried Jay's baby Pokémon.
"MEW!" shouted Mewie.
The two baby Pokémon started to glow and teleported their trainer and companion Pokémon as a giant boulder from the ceiling dropped down.
The trainer and his Pokémon reappeared right in front of the boulder that had dropped from the ceiling.
"What was that?" cried Jay.
"Uh, your lil' Pokémon just saved ya," replied his Pokédex. "And . . . wait. I hear something."
Ultra and Litatra's suddenly shot up and they started sparking with electricity. Fire Orb's flame that surrounded it started to enlarge, while Mewie started to create a really thick light screen bubble.
"What's going on?" asked Jay.
Suddenly, a giant shadow flew over the small group at a fast pace speed. The wind from the creature sent Mewie and Litatra stumbling, but Jay caught them. Then, the large creature landed on a ledge above them.
Jay turned his Pokédex to the Super Pokémon and asked, "'Dex, what is that?"
"This is an interesting one," said his Pokédex. "This is Rockster, a flying-boulder Super Pokémon. This Pokémon lives in the cave near the Pokémon League. With the help of the rare bird Pokémon, Moltres, Rockster guards the path to the Pokémon League. This is the last of the rare bird Super Pokémon."
"The last legendary Super Pokémon I had to face," said Jay, "I needed to help of my traveling friends and my good buddy, Patrick." He picked Litatra and Mewie and glanced at Fire Orb and Ultra. "We have to move. We aren't at a strong enough strength to stop it."
Jay, followed by Ultra and Fire Orb, started to run towards the tunnel that Paul had exited in. But as they tried to escape, Rockster flew up from the ledge and dived down at the group. Its rocky wings slammed down on the ground and shot two beams of fissure strikes in the ground.
"Ultra, you have to teleport us out of here now," ordered Jay.
"Tra!" Ultra stopped running and closed its eyes. A psychic aura surrounded Ultra and his friends and teleported away, dodging the incoming fissure attack.
Instead, the fissure attack hit the tunnel entrance. When it hit the wall, the tunnel collapsed, blocking an entrance.
Jay, Ultra, Fire Orb, Litatra, and Mewie reappeared on the ledge that Rockster had landed on before.
Jay glanced around and spotted another entrance not too far off. "Perfect, if we can out fly Rockster, we'll be safe in that tunnel . . . as long as he doesn't use fissure again and traps us."
Chapter Six: The Rocky Roads of Rockster
"Fire orb-orb?" asked Fire Orb.
"Hmmm, I dunno how we'll get over there," said Jay. "Winger won't be able to defend itself if it's attacked . . . so I know!" Jay selected a Super Ball and hurled it upward. "I choose you, Flamed!"
"Flame!" growled the dragon Super Pokémon as it emerged from its Super Ball and landed on the ledge. He climbed on Flamed's back, while Ultra, Fire Orb, Litatra, and Mewie grabbed onto Jay.
"Flamed, I need you to fly us over there," ordered Jay, pointing to a small exit. "We need you to try to avoid Rockster unless it attacks. We have to fly silently."
Jay's Charizard/Dragonite nodded and jumped off the ledge and soared over Rockster, who was still trying to look for Jay and the others. But, as the Super Pokémon zipped by Rockster, a small gust of wind caught Rockster's attention and it took off after Flamed.
"I have an idea," said Jay. "Mewie and Litatra, create a protective light screen bubble around us. Ultra, release your shocker attack, and Fire Orb, use raging fire now! Flamed, keep on flying!"
As Flamed soared down towards the smaller exit, the baby Pokémon put up a light screen to protect Flamed as Ultra released a blast of electricity that could hit the flying Pokémon. Ultra and Fire Orb aimed their attacks backwards and released a blast of electricity and searing stream of fire at Rockster. But, neither attack harmed the flying rock-type Pokémon enough and it continued flying towards them.
This has angered Rockster, and it was about to use fissure as it lifted up its wings again.
"Ultra, Litatra, Mewie," said Jay, "combine your powers to stop it! Disable!"
The three psychic Pokémon all focused their powers together to try to stop the legendary Super Pokémon, Rockster. But they all knew they wouldn't be able to put it in a psychic freeze like they usually did. So, they focused their powers on Rockster's wings.
"Rock?" growled the giant bird. It tried flapping its wings but it couldn't move them. It continued soaring through the air and tried to steer away, and ended up slamming into a wall.
"Now Flamed, dived down!" ordered Jay.
Flamed agreed with a deep growl, but as he flew down towards the tunnel it slowed down. The tunnel entrance was cracking and crumbling until it started to cave in all together.
"Well Flamed," said Jay, "you tried." Jay selected a Super Ball and replied, "but sometimes, you have to fight fire with fire. Against a legendary Super Pokémon, I'll use a legendary Super Pokémon." He threw the ball to the ground to reveal the giant electrical beast. "Thundeer, I choose you!"
"Thund deer," growled the electrical-beast, as it glanced around.
"Thundeer," said Jay, "I need you to stop Rockster. Now, it's a rock-type Super Pokémon, not a ground-type, so your electric attacks will work on it." Jay climbed off Flamed. "Flamed will be aiding you!"
Ultra, Fire Orb, Litatra, and Mewie dropped to the ground and glanced around. "La-la-la tra?"
"I'm not sure what we'll do now," murmured Jay.
Chapter Seven: The Dilemma
Rockster managed to swiftly wiggle its way out of its trapped situation and emerged from out of the wall, roaring with annoyance and anger.
"Thundeer, shock it with your ultimate shocker attack!" ordered Jay. "Flamed, hit it with fire blast!"
Thundeer and Flamed stood side by side and released their powerful attacks on the incoming Rockster. The two attacks managed to hit Rockster critically and it lost control and slammed down into the ground.
Jay glanced around and spotted another entrance, but it was caved in too. He sighed as he continued looking around. "There's no spot that's less caved in than this one."
"Mewie-mew, mew we?" asked Mewie.
"What am I going to do?" repeated Jay. "You're going to have to combine attacks to blast through the rubble that's blocking the tunnel, and quite frankly, that tunnel's the least blocked. Plus, I don't think Rockster will be able to stop us and fight Thundeer and Flamed."
Meanwhile, Rockster was able to quickly pull itself together.
"Thundeer, try your thunder attack," ordered Jay. "Flamed, dragon force attack!"
Electrical energy gathered in Thundeer's antlers and the electric Pokémon released it and the shock hit Rockster at full force, but it didn't take down the giant legendary Super Pokémon. So Flamed had to take flight, as a fiery aurora surrounded Jay's Super Pokémon. Flamed dived down towards Rockster at full force but as it slammed into the rock-type Pokémon it bounced right off on impact. The aurora followed after Flamed's footsteps but it was able to harm Rockster. But, neither attack had slowed down Rockster.
Rockster dived down at Jay's two shocked Super Pokémon and bashed into the two, sending them flying backwards.
Jay took a deep breath as his realized his Pokémon were defeated. "Flamed, heat it up with your raging flame attack! Thundeer, electrocute it with thunder ball!"
While the injured Flamed and Thundeer distracted the legendary Super Pokémon bird, Jay took this time to break through the rubble.
"Ultra, Litatra, Mewie," said Jay, "psytoss attack! Fire Orb, flamethrower attack!"
Jay's trio of psychic Super Pokémon tried their best to use all their energy to move as many boulders as they could, but they were jammed in tight and they were all pretty tired. Fire Orb released blasts of fire to try to loosen the rocks to make it easier for Ultra and the other two to move them.
Jay sighed with anxiety. "This is just great. I can't even get to the Pokémon League on my own . . . I depend on Dee, Agua, and even Ultram too much. Even if only Dee was here, she'd use her legendary Super Pokémon and Pokémon to take down Rockster and capture it. Agua could even be here, and she'd use her water and ice Pokémon and Super Pokémon to stop Rockster and clear a pathway like this. If Ultram were here, we could combine all of our electric Pokémon and Super Pokémon, and take down Rockster." He sighed as he glanced at his four Super Pokémon who couldn't even clear the pathway, and then glanced at his two Super Pokémon that were trying to take down Rockster.
Chapter Eight: Escape Attempt Part I
"Tra ra-ra?" asked Ultra, tugging on Jay's pant leg.
"What is it Ultra?" mumbled Jay.
"Ultra!" Ultra started to spark with electricity and then released a powerful shock upon Jay. "RA!"
"Ugh . . ." The crispy Jay fell to the ground and moaned. "I can't do anything Ultra. None of the Pokémon with me can take down Rockster or clear this tunnel."
"Ult tra," replied Ultra. He jumped up and grabbed a Super Ball on Jay's belt. He enlarged it opened up to reveal . . .
"Stoise," growled the giant Pokémon.
"Oh, right." Jay glanced up and down at his injured Super Pokémon. "Venustoise, are you okay?"
"Stoise." Venustoise shook one hand from side to side. "Us-us."
"So-so?" asked Jay.
Venustoise nodded.
"Can you still use your two hydro pumps?" asked Jay.
Venustoise held up one finger.
"Only one," said Jay, "that's perfect." He pointed to the rubble up ahead. "Use your hydro pump, full blast, to wash away the rocks."
As Venustoise slowly started to open up his hydro pump, Jay glanced back towards Rockster and his other two Super Pokémon.
Thundeer released another blast of electricity that surrounded Rockster, while Flamed shot a streaming blast off fire. The fire and the electricity circled around Rockster until Rockster shot its wings out and sent the electricity and fire flying back towards the two Super Pokémon.
Rockster then released a loud roaring squawk, and started to rapidly flap its wings. The giant whirlwind attack pinned Thundeer against the wall, while it sent Flamed flying upward and they were pinned towards the top of the wall.
"Venus . . . stoise!" Venustoise focused all of its energy and fired a surging blast of water that hit the boulders blocking the way and they started to rattle and collapse on the ground. Venustoise inhaled fired its water blast attack, washing away the rocks up ahead.
Jay glanced back at his three fighting Super Pokémon. "Thundeer, attack using your thunderwave attack! Flamed, hyper beam!"
The electric beast closed its eyes and focused on drawing out its powers. Thundeer sent a wave of electricity that surrounded and paralyzed Rockster and it dropped down to the ground.
This gave Flamed the time to take flight into the air and prepare for their attacks. Flamed inhaled and collected the surrounding energy and fired it in a beam of energy that hit Rockster hard in the side.
"Ultra, Litatra, Mewie," said Jay, "use all of your psychic powers to put up a giant light screen to block out Rockster and its attacks!"
Jay's small psychic Pokémon all closed their eyes, and sudden a light started to appear all the way at the top of the roof of the cave.
"Venustoise, Flamed, return!" Jay held out two Super Ball and recalled his older Super Pokémon. "Thundeer, I still need your help! Come over here before the light screen finishes."
"Deer." Thunder used its speed to swiftly dash over to Jay and his Pokémon, just as the light screen closed off any pathway for Rockster.
Chapter Nine: Escape Attempt Part II
"Everyone, get on now!" ordered Jay to Ultra, Fire Orb, Litatra, and Mewie.
The four Super Pokémon quickly got on as Rockster slowly started to get rid of the paralysis and began to get up. Jay then climbed on Thundeer as Rockster glanced around in confusion.
"Thundeer," said Jay, "ride through this tunnel at full speed! We have to escape Victory Road before Rockster attacks!"
"Thund de deer," replied Thundeer with a nod, as Rockster's eyes glared at Jay and his Pokémon riding away.
Thundeer seemed light a yellow streak of light as he shot through the tunnel at full speed. Thundeer rode away from Rockster as the giant rock-bird Super Pokémon came too and took flight.
"Rock!" Rockster roared a loud roar and shot full speed towards the giant light screen and tried to break through the screen, but it wasn't working. But, the giant rock-bird Super Pokémon knew that it was slowly wearing down the light screen.
* * * *
After rushing through the extremely exhausting and long tunnel, Jay, Thundeer, and his Super Pokémon emerged in a giant open area. Jay glanced around and saw that up a spiral path lay the final tunnel that led outside to the Indigo Plateau.
"Deer . . . deer . . . deer," panted Thundeer collapsing down to its forelegs.
Jay hopped off Thundeer and took Litatra and Mewie into its arms, while Fire Orb and Ultra hopped off. "Thank you Thundeer, you fought hard, and you need a rest." He held out Thundeer's Super Ball and recalled it back in.
"Orb-orb fire?" asked Fire Orb.
"What'll we do?" repeated Jay. "We'll walk."
"Tra!" whined the two pre-evolved Ultimate.
"Fine." Jay picked up Mewie and Litatra and glanced at his other two Super Pokémon. "We'll run. Let's just move on out of here before Rockster manages to break through this little wall."
Jay swiftly started to run up the spiral pathway, followed by Ultra while Fire Orb hovered up in the center of the spiral pathway.
* * * *
"Rockster rock-ster." Rockster, who was getting a little tired, decided it was time to stop ramming into the screen and cause some real damage. Rockster flew up high towards the ceiling and prepared to use its ultra gust attack. It began to rapidly flap its wings and caused a giant gust of wind and shattered the screen.
Now, all Rockster had to do was break through the giant wall. It flapped its wings down and caused a giant earthquake and tried to break up the wall, but it didn't work. Rockster then flew up again and then dropped down at full speed. Its wings it the floor again and set a giant tremor blast that hit the wall. But even the fissure attack couldn't break through it.
So, this left Rockster to use one thing, its ultimate attack. Rockster used its harden attack and flew towards the other end of the small area. Suddenly, the legendary Super Pokémon began to glow and it shot full speed towards the already damaged wall. It lowered itself to the ground and slid across the floor of the cave and then . . .
* * * *
"Come on," said Jay, rushing up the spiral path, "we're almost to the exit guys. Just a little further . . ."
Suddenly, there seemed to be a giant earthquake from down below. Jay glanced down just in time to see Rockster break through the thick wall of the cave.
"That would Rockster's rock slick attack," said Jay's Pokédex, as he started running faster and faster up the cave. "Not that you'd care, but rock slick its Rockster's special attack. It's a variation on and a much stronger form of rock slide attack. It hardens and slides at full speed across the ground and can ram into something as thick as the wall down there."
"You're right," said Jay, panting and panting, "I . . . don't care . . . you idiot . . ."
As Jay continued running towards the exit, Rockster glanced upward and saw Jay and his Super Pokémon running away. It opened its wings and took flight upward. It held its wings close to its body and flew upward faster than any other known Super Pokémon. It shot right pass the running Jay, and blocked the exit of Victory Road.
Chapter Ten: The Hidden
"Damn," said Jay, quickly selecting another Super Ball. "Flamed, one more time!" He stopped running and threw the ball to the path ahead of him.
"Flamed!" roared the injured Super Pokémon, as it appeared from its Super Ball. Flamed immediately cringed with pain as it appeared.
"Flamed, I need you to fly us back down and head back into the room we were in before," ordered Jay.
Flamed nodded and waited as Fire Orb and Ultra climbed on Flamed, while Jay climbed on with Litatra and Mewie in his arms. Flamed nodded and dived down towards the rocky rubble that Rockster had kicked up when it shot through the wall.
"Now Flamed, got through that rubble over there!" Jay pointed at the ruined wall that Rockster had broke through.
By now, Rockster had noticed that Jay had disappeared. It had managed to see Flamed's fire just as it flew away. Rockster roared angrily and jumped from its perch at the exit of the mountain. It dived down at full speed, and luckily for Jay, didn't manage to pull itself out of its dive early enough. Rockster ended up diving down in the rubble and the ground.
"Flamed, this is our only chance," said Jay. "Full speed, now!"
Flamed nodded and flew as fast as it possibly could towards the room they were in before. But as he was flying, he glanced back and saw the dust cloud clearing up and saw and angrily Rockster slowly flying up.
Luckily, Flamed managed to enter the main room before Rockster could catch up. Jay swiftly glanced around and saw another series of tunnels in the roof above. He pointed upward, and Flamed swiftly flew upwards.
"Ra la tra!" shouted Litatra.
"I know Rockster's not far behind," said Jay, "but what can we do?"
"Ra!" Ultra pointed towards the ceiling, and started sparking with electricity.
"Great idea," said Jay. "Everyone, aim your attacks towards the roof!"
Jay's five Super Pokémon released their powerful attacks and hit the roof, causing a giant explosion. Suddenly, a large section of the roof started to cave in, but not all of it though since the ceiling of the cave was pretty thick.
Giant boulders started to fall down from the ceiling, but the agile Flamed managed to dodge them and could easily get to the upper section of Victory Road. But, the rubble wasn't enough and Flamed shot a fire blast attack that hit the ceiling and caused another giant explosion, sending down another giant boulder.
Just then, Rockster emerged from the "tunnel" that it had blown through. As it started to turn upward, tons and tons of boulders rained down on the Super Pokémon, forcing it to the ground. Just as Rockster was about to gain control again, the giant boulder that Flamed had created hurled down and smashed down onto Rockster's head, forcing to the Super Pokémon to black out.
Chapter Eleven: Rockster's Companions
Flamed landed on the ground of the upper level of the Victory Road. This gave Jay and his Super Pokémon a chance to settle down.
"You did good Flamed." Jay held out a Super Ball and recalled his dragon Super Pokémon. "That was fun." He walked over towards the giant hole in the pathway that led downward towards the main level. There he saw dust rise above the injured and unconscious Rockster.
"I'd try to capture it," murmured Jay, "but I won't want to capture an enraged and blood thirsty Super Pokémon, that would most likely end up killing me." He drew out a Super Ball and then the Mecha Ball. "Though, I'm sure this Mecha Ball could capture, it'd be a waste." He drew out a silver Super Ball, also known as a Mega Ball. "This little thing could catch it."
"Hey! Jay!" The Super Pokémon trainer attention turned upward towards a tunnel exit, and there stood Paul. "What are you doing up here on the upper levels? I wouldn't think you'd journey up here, especially since people are saying Rockster's gone off the deep end."
Jay thought for a moment and squinted, with that confused look on his face. "What 'people'?"
"I dunno . . . you, me, this guy I know." Paul shrugged. "You want same help or not?"
"Oh! Sure!" Jay glanced at Ultra, Fire Orb, Litatra, and Mewie and signaled them to follow him, as he walked around the hole over towards Paul. "We need your help escaping Victory Road."
"Why, what happened?" asked Paul, as they started towards the tunnel. "And what was that avalanche all about?"
"Well, it's kinda a long story," said Jay, "which I don't completely understand, but . . ." Before Jay could finish rambling on about what had happened, the tunnel ahead of them released a series of high-pitched screeches and the sound of beating wings. "I think there are some Golbat up ahead."
"No," said Paul, "Golbat don't screech like that and they beat their wings faster than that. Those sound like . . ."
"Aerodactyl," said Jay's Pokédex. "They must be Rockster's minions or allies or something, since they're both flying/rock types."
"Duh!" Jay clasped his Pokédex shut, attempting to get it to shut up. Then he glanced up and three Aerodactyl shot out of the tunnel at full speed, as the two trainers dropped to the ground.
"TRA!" Ultra released a blast of electricity as the three flying-type Pokémon flew overhead. The blast didn't knock them out of the sky, but it didn't damage them slightly.
"Come on out, Electabuzz! You can do it too, Electric Orb!" Paul hurled a Super Ball and a Poké Ball and from them appeared two, fully evolved, electric-type, Pokémon.
Ultra, Electabuzz, and Electric Orb stood in front of their trainers, while Fire Orb protected Mewie and Litatra.
"Ultra shocker!" shouted Jay.
"Thunder and ultimate shocker attack!" ordered Paul.
As the Aerodactyl turned around and headed back towards the two trainers, the three small electric Pokémon released a seriously strong blast of electricity that fried the incoming Aerodactyl, and they collapsed to the ground. But, seconds later, they were getting back up.
"Now would be the time to flee," said Jay.
"Right," agreed Paul. He turned towards Electabuzz and Electric Orb. "Let's move!"
Jay picked up Litatra and Mewie and glanced at Fire Orb and Ultra. "Let's go!"
Chapter Twelve: Problem with the Aerodactyl
The three dragon-like Pokémon looked around in confusion.
The two Pokémon trainers rushed out of the area with the injured Aerodactyl slowly getting back up. But they knew their Pokémon's attacks had slowed them down enough so that they could get away.
The three Aerodactyl slowly rose up and flew at full speed towards two kids.
"Buzz!" Electabuzz stopped running and turned towards the trio of Pokémon. It concentrated and created an invisible to block incoming Aerodactyl, but they knew it wouldn't be enough to hold them for too long.
As the two trainers rushed out of the tunnel to the area ahead, the three Aerodactyl landed on the ground and closed their eyes. They started to inhale and created a ball of the surrounding energy. Then, they released it into a deadly focused beam, breaking through the wall with their hyper beam attacks.
As Jay and Paul reached the next area, they were surprised to see a large open area that continued to lead upward.
"We must be heading up towards Rockster's perch," said Paul. "It's the highest point in the Victory Road- once even said to be inhabited by the legendary Moltres."
"That's great." Jay glanced around and nodded. "There." He pointed towards a giant rock. "We can hide behind there while our Pokémon take care of these three Aerodactyl."
Paul nodded and selected several Super Balls and Poké Balls. "Everyone, come out, now!"
"I know you're all tired, but I need you!" Jay hurled the Super Balls to the ground.
Gyaronix, Woolied, and Bakufuun emerged from the balls hurled from Paul, while Thundeer and Wurm emerged from Jay's Super Balls.
"Wurm, is your poison injury cured?" asked Jay.
The dragon Pokémon nodded.
The two trainer swiftly rushed over to a giant boulder where they could hide from the Aerodactyl's attacks, but still command their Pokémon.
"Wait. What's that?" Jay held up his Pokédex towards one of Paul's Super Pokémon.
"That's Woolied," answered his Pokédex, "a doll Super Pokémon. There are few sighted within the Woolie Zone, so must Woolied you see have been raised from its previous form. Its punching ability and its deadly wings are able to hit the Super Ball back at the thrower. Its magical tails have grown long and are its most powerful tool."
"Aerodactyl!" screeched the three Pokémon as they entered the area.
"Ultra, hop onto Thundeer!" shouted Jay. "Use your ultra shocker and ultimate shocker! Wurm, rain down on them with your hydro pumps!"
"Electabuzz, thunder now!" ordered Paul. "Electric Orb, ultimate shocker! Gyaronix, hydro pumps! Woolied, try hitting it with your triple punch attack! Bakufuun, flamethrower!"
As the Aerodactyl zoomed in towards Jay and Paul's Super Pokémon and regular Pokémon, they started to inhale to use their deadly hyper beam attack. But, Ultra, Thundeer, Electabuzz, and Electric Orb's shocks stopped them in midair and forced their attacks to lose their aim and they slammed into the side of a wall.
Gyaronix and Bakufuun got on opposite sides of the Aerodactyl and fired their deadly attacks, knocking down two of the Aerodactyl.
Woolied jumped off of a wall and using its wings soared down onto Aerodactyl's back. Woolied began to repeatedly punch Aerodactyl on its weak spot, its neck, and caused the Aerodactyl to lose control and slammed into a wall. Woolied hopped off before anything could happen.
"Gyaronix, hyper beam attack!" ordered Paul. "Bakufuun, explosive punch!"
"Thundeer," said Jay, "tackle the last Aerodactyl with your take down attack!"
Ultra hopped of Thundeer, as the giant electric, water, and fire Super Pokémon and regular Pokémon took their Aerodactyl targets. Thundeer charged at the Aerodactyl who had fallen to the ground because of Woolied, and slammed it to the wall. Gyaronix fired its hyper at one of the Aerodactyl who had managed to get back up, but the blast slammed it against the wall of the cave. Finally, Bakufuun attacked the Aerodactyl who was trying to get up and punched the flying/rock type Pokémon and created a giant explosion, forcing it to collapse on the ground.
"Ultra, finish them," said Jay, "psyblast attack!"
A blue bubble of psychic energy surrounded Jay's Ultra, and using its powerful psychic energy, Ultra enlarged the bubble until it expanded to the sides of the wall, hitting all three Aerodactyl.
"Electric Orb, Electabuzz, thunderwave," said Paul.
Paul's two electric Super and regular Pokémon released two deadly blasts of electricity that paralyzed the Aerodactyl.
Paul swiftly selected three Ultra Balls and glanced at Jay. "You want one?"
"Uh, sure," replied Jay, as Paul put back one of the advanced Poké Balls back. He pulled out an Ultra Ball and hurled it towards one of the Aerodactyl, and it entered the ball.
Paul hurled the two Ultra Balls at the remaining Aerodactyl, and they entered the balls.
The three balls started shaking and shaking and the opening button turned red until it stopped shaking and the opening button turned back to its original white color. The three balls hovered back to their new trainers.
Chapter Thirteen: The Next Morning . . .
After capturing the Aerodactyl, Paul said they couldn't reach the exit, and their Pokémon were all too worn out to do anything about it. So, they knew they had to hid somewhere until the next morning.
So, they got Paul's Machamp to blast a giant hole in the wall and formed it enough a small cave, big enough for them to hide in. Using Fire Orb as a light, Machamp managed to close up the entrance to the cave, hiding them from Rockster.
The next morning they awoke to the sound of Rockster flying around, in search of Jay, Ultra, Fire Orb, Litatra, and Mewie.
"So, why exactly is Rockster after you?" asked Paul, getting up from the side of the wall he was leaning against. "Did you try to attack it or capture it or something?"
Jay shook his head. "It randomly attacked me."
"Has this happened to you before?" asked Paul.
"Well, not me particularly," replied Jay. "I've seen it happen before. Both the Super Pokémon, Planto and Psybird, randomly attacked. Planto leveled Celadon City and Psybird was about to completely wipe out the Five Gyms' Pokémon Center."
"It almost seems that these legendary Super Pokémon were created with a serious flaw or some sort of virus or something," murmured Paul. "Or maybe they just like showing their power and destroying stuff . . . they got bored or something."
Jay sighed. "That's helpful."
"But from what I heard," said Paul, "a trainer named Dee was capturing these Super Pokémon and was able to control them."
"She does," replied Jay. "I knew her. After she captured them, they were all loyal to her."
"Then by capturing Rockster," said Paul, "you should be able to get it under control."
Jay sighed. "Listen. I just want to escape from the Victory Road to get to the Pokémon League. Rockster can be a challenge after I'm done with this league game."
"Well, fine," said Paul. He glanced at the sleeping Fire Orb, who's flame was keeping warm Litatra, Mewie, and Ultra. "Our Pokémon may need to protect us if Rockster does attack again. Why is it focusing on stopping you? Maybe it's not. Maybe you were just the first person it saw."
Jay shrugged again. Maybe this is another test. These Celestial Pokémon appeared before when I needed help, revealing that they've been following me and my friends. Maybe this is another test. "Let's just head out towards the entrance. If we can avoid Rockster, then we'll be home free. If not, we need to think up a plan ahead of time."
Chapter Fourteen: Another Attempt
"The time has come, Machamp!" Paul held out the red and white device as it opened up to reveal the giant fighting-type Pokémon.
"Venustoise, I choose you!" Jay hurled a Super Ball to the ground and from it revealed the healed Venustoise/Blastoise mix.
"Use your strength to move these boulders!" the two trainers ordered in unison.
The two strong Pokémon started using all their strength to move the boulders out of the way and revealed the exit/entrance they had created.
"Return!" ordered the two trainers. Jay turned back around and picked up Litatra and Mewie. "Time to move guys."
"Tra!" agreed Litatra and Ultra.
"Mew!" chanted in Mewie.
"Fire-fire orb," replied Fire Orb.
Jay glanced at Paul. "Let's move."
* * * *
Swiftly making their way downward, the two trainers headed towards the same room that Jay had been attacked by Rockster, for it was that room that held the exit.
After a short hike, they made it to a ledge that looked down upon the disaster-struck room. This was the only way to there- that or going back to where Rockster had been knocked out.
"Flamed, I choose you!" Jay opened up a Super Ball to reveal his dragon Super Pokémon that appeared next to him. "Are you rested up Flamed?"
"Flame," agreed the giant Super Pokémon.
"Great." Jay glanced around. "Rockster doesn't appear to be near so we need you to fly us to the exit over there." He pointed upward to where they had been right before Rockster had attacked him and his Super Pokémon.
"Flamed." It bent over while Jay, Paul, and the smaller Super Pokémon all climbed aboard and Flamed took off.
As it flew towards the exit, Jay started noticing as Rocky and Geodude, even some Graveler, dropped themselves from the ceiling of the cave, trying to take out the incoming Flamed. Rockster must have known that they'd try to escape, so while it searched for them the rock Super Pokémon planted this ambush to stop them. Luckily, Jay's Flamed was definitely faster than any Geodude or Rocky.
After some easy evasion techniques, Flamed emerged at the exit of the Victory Road. Still too early for the sun to be up, the light of the stars created a small light at the foot of the cave. But, just as Flamed was about to land . . .
"Rockster!" cried Jay, as the large Super Pokémon rose up from the ground, blocking the exit. It had hidden itself amongst the boulder so that they couldn't have seen it.
"Gyaronix, Meganium, Bakufuun, attack!" ordered Paul, hurling a Super Ball and two Poké Balls to the ground, revealing his three Pokémon.
"Thundeer, Venustoise, I choose you!" said Jay, hurling two Super Balls next to Paul's, revealing the giant electric beast and the huge Venusaur/Blastoise mixture. He turned towards Fire Orb and Ultra. "Want to help?"
The two shook their heads furiously and hid behind Jay.
"Bakufuun, flamethrower! Meganium, razor leaf!" ordered Paul. "Gyaronix, water blast!"
"Thundeer, ultimate shocker!" ordered Jay. "Venustoise, hydro pump!"
The five Pokémon all roared with agreement, as they released their powerful attacks at Rockster, but the legendary bird Super Pokémon dodged out of their way.
Chapter Fifteen: The Trainers' Trap
"Thundeer, chase after Rockster!" ordered Jay. "Venustoise, get into a roll, and head down to the base of this area."
"Everyone, continuing attacking and follow Rockster down!" ordered Paul.
After several hits, Rockster decided that it needed a bigger area to fight in so it flapped its wings to blow Flamed out of the way and dived down towards the main area.
As Flamed followed after the Pokémon, Jay readied his last Super Ball and hurled it downward, accompanied by a Super Ball and two Poké Balls from Paul, and from them revealed Wurm, Electric Orb, Machamp, and Electabuzz.
Rockster was surrounded.
"Thundeer, release a powerful shocker attack! Venustoise, try tackling Rockster while its diving down!" ordered Jay. "Slow it down with your raging fire attack, Flamed."
"Bakufuun, try hitting it with an ember shot attack, while Meganium tries razor leaf again and Gyaronix tries spraying it with its water cannon attack," said Paul.
Jay's attention fell towards Wurm, who was waiting down below. "Wurm, use your hyper beam!"
"Electabuzz, swift attack!" ordered Paul. "Electric Orb, focus your flash attack at Rockster! Machamp, use your hyper beam!"
Jay turned to Ultra and Fire Orb. "Ultra, thunder attack and Fire Orb try using your flamethrower attack."
Within a split second, there was a giant flash of lights as multiple attacks headed straight towards Rockster that would easily take out the Pokémon if they hit. But, when the lights cleared, Rockster remained unharmed and there was a giant explosion as various attacks hit the wall of the cave.
Thinking it was in the clear, Rockster continued to dive downward until it quickly realized what had happened. The attacks had exploded when they hit the wall and created several rock slides and avalanches that started hurling down towards Rockster. All the rocks and boulders hit Rockster and started pummeling the Pokémon until a giant boulder crushed Rockster, forcing it to the ground.
"All right everyone, return!" Paul recalled all of his Super and regular Pokémon and smiled. "We did good Jay. Rockster's out of commission! Let's head on out!"
"Right. Flamed, fly up." Jay ordered the Super Pokémon to fly out while Rockster was still dazed to attack, and landed on the ledge right by the exit of the Victory Road. "Get off Paul."
"Huh?" Paul glanced around and suddenly realized Jay wasn't leaving with him. "All your Pokémon are still out, and you're acting like you're . . . you're going to stay to fight Rockster, aren't you?"
Jay nodded. "The Master . . . the Celestial Pokémon . . . or plain old fate is setting me up against Rockster, and I'm not running away from this fight. This feels like my last challenge before the beginning of something . . ."
Paul shrugged. "Defeat most likely."
Jay cringed and then flinched and sighed. "Thanks for the confidence Paul."
"No problem." He hopped off of Flamed and turned to Jay. "See you at the League Games, Barial." He darted off out of the Victory Road.
"See ya." Jay patted Flamed on the head. "It's time for a showdown against Rockster, Flamed. You ready?"
"Flamed!" roared Flamed with agreement.
As the dragon Super Pokémon turned around it froze with fear as the giant Rockster emerged from the rubble and was hovering right above Jay's Super Pokémon.
Chapter Sixteen: Jay's Ultimate Challenge
"TRA!" Ultra released a blast of electricity that hit the airborne Rockster, temporarily blinding the giant Pokémon and slightly injuring it. This gave Flamed enough time to go into a dive as he hurried away from Rockster.
As they shot downward, Jay glanced at Venustoise and Thundeer as they continued running down the spiral path that lead up to the exit and to the main level of the area. Venustoise went into a roll and tackled the giant bird, while Thundeer gave it a shockingly powerful charge of electricity.
Completely thrown off guard, Rockster was hit by the incoming Venustoise and Thundeer, giving Flamed the time it needed to land on the ground in the main area of this part of the cave. But, the two attacks forced Rockster to temporarily lose control and just fell lifelessly towards the ground.
As the dust started to rise from then drop, there was a loud squawk as Rockster emerged from the dust.
"I don't think so Rockster!" shouted Jay, as Flamed landed and he and his Super Pokémon jumped off. Venustoise rolled down next to him and came out of his shell, while Thundeer leaped down next to Jay. "You can't beat all eight of us!"
"Ster." Rockster glanced around and hit its wings to the ground, creating a giant earthquake that caused the Geodude, Rocky, and Graveler on the ceiling to all start falling.
"Ultra, Mewie, Litatra, light screen now!" ordered Jay.
The three little Super Pokémon grouped together to build up their psychic energy and created a giant light screen bubble to protect the rock-type Pokémon from hitting them and getting harmed by the drop. But their combined powers were slowly fading.
"Deer." Thundeer stepped in front of the three Super Pokémon. It closed its eyes and thicker light appeared over the three psychic Pokémon's thinner screen.
"Teleport them away," commanded Jay.
Ultra and Mewie and Litatra used all their psychic powers to transport the confused rock-type Pokémon from off of Thundeer's light screen, and they slowly turned towards Rockster.
"Thundeer, stop that Rockster! Thunder attack!" shouted Jay. "Wurm, hit it with your hyper beam!"
The two Super Pokémon focused their powers and released two powerful and deadly attacks, but Rockster jumped out of the way of the two attacks and took flight. It flew down towards Jay, but Thundeer jumped in the way. It leaped up and tackled Rockster and the bird Super Pokémon dropped from the air, but the electrical beast was thrown backwards.
"Thundeer!" shouted Jay. But he realized his giant Super Pokémon would be okay as it slowly got up. He turned his attention to the idle Super Pokémon, waiting for orders. "Venustoise, get into a roll again! Flamed, take flight and try attacking this Rockster with a fire cannon attack!"
Venustoise started running towards Rockster and jumped in the air. Before any impact, it curled up into its shell, but Rockster swatted it away with its wing. The force sent Venustoise flying, but it was able to adjust and when it landed, it continued rolling in its shell.
Flamed swiftly took flight right after this, and had to dodge Rockster's deadly wing attack. As it evade, it started to rapidly fire small ember attacks that rained down upon Rockster, slowly heating up the Super Pokémon.
"Cool it down, water blast!" ordered Jay.
Flamed landed on a ledge above the heated Rockster, who had lost sight of Jay's dragon Super Pokémon and chuckled at its confused opponent. It inhaled and sprayed a powerful blast of gushing water at Rockster that slammed it down to the ground.
Chapter Seventeen: The Raging Battle
Rockster shot up from the ground and started flying up passed Flamed.
"Rockster's heading towards the exit!" cried Jay. "It's trying to block the exit out of here! Flamed, go after him now!"
Flamed jumped off from its ledge and shot up after that powerful Super Pokémon.
"La-la tra," murmured Litatra.
"You're right," replied Jay. "Flamed won't make it in time." He glanced at his other Super Pokémon and signaled them to hurry over where the rubble had knocked down Rockster (which was right in the center of the spiral path that led up to the exit). There, they saw as Flamed and Rockster flew upward. "All right, try not to hit Flamed or Rockster. Litatra, use your thundershock. Mewie, try your confusion attack. Ultra, use thunder! Fire Orb, use your fire blast and Thundeer, shocker attack! Venustoise, hit it with your hydro pumps. Wurm, water blast attack. Everyone, aim upward!"
Jay's seven Super Pokémon grouped together and shot their powerful attacks upward, trying not to hit either Super Pokémon. The attacks swished right passed the two Super Pokémon and started to hit the ceiling above them. Suddenly, rubble, rocks, and giant boulders started falling from the ceiling and started hitting Rockster (who was in the way so Flamed wasn't taking any hits).
Yet again, rocks and boulders started pummeling Rockster and they started to weigh down the Super Pokémon until they were at the point of forcing Rockster down to the ground. As soon as Rockster started dropping, it hit Flamed and the two started dropping down towards where Jay and his Super Pokémon were.
"Move!" shouted Jay, as he and his seven companions hurried after him back towards the center of the area, as millions of rocks and boulders fell and then Flamed and Rockster dropped down with larger boulders.
Rockster emerged from the rubble, again, and Flamed was by its side. Flamed had ended up getting protected as Rockster had held out its wings to stop from being completely crushed by the giant rocks. Flamed swiftly went airborne to try to escape, but Rockster slammed Flamed against the wall with its giant wing. Flamed dropped to the ground, and Rockster jumped into the air and was about to crush Flamed when . . .
"Tra!"
"Deer!"
The three electrical Super Pokémon released powerful charges and pulses of powerful electrical currents that hit Rockster and it quickly lost control and tumbled into the wall.
"Flamed!" Jay rushed over to his dragon Super Pokémon, who lay slumped below the imprint of himself in the wall. He bent down next to his dragon-type Pokémon. "You okay?"
Flamed's eyes suddenly widened as Rockster became airborne again and swirled around towards Jay. As it flew towards Jay and Flamed, the fiery Super Pokémon grabbed Jay in his arms and took flight. Flamed jumped out of the way as Rockster slammed into the wall, leaving a much larger imprint.
Flamed landed next to his other companions and released Jay from his arms. "It's all down hill from here!"
Chapter Eighteen: Rockster's Defeat
As Rockster turned around to face Jay and his eight Super Pokémon, Jay had already begun his final blow.
"Venustoise, constrain Rockster with your vine grip attack!" ordered Jay. "And Wurm, warp attack!"
Multiple vines shot out from Venustoise's back and all wrapped around the injured and dazed Rockster. They wrapped around and partly constrained the giant bird Super Pokémon long enough for Jay's super long Super Pokémon to slither up to it and wrap itself around the giant flying rock. Because of Jay's hard training, Wurm was at a high enough level that it was long enough to wrap its entire body around Rockster.
"Thunderwave!" shouted Jay. Then he glanced Venustoise and smirked. "Use your freeze whip attack, now!"
"Wurm!" Wurm released a deadly charge of electricity the electrocuted the giant Rockster, paralyzing it and forcing it to fall to the ground. Then, Venustoise multiple vines released its grasp of Rockster and started furious whipping Rockster. As Wurm quickly slithered away, Rockster slowly started to partly freeze over.
But, Rockster was too strong and swiftly broke out of it frozen state.
"Ultra! Fire Orb! Attack together!" shouted Jay.
"Tra!"
"Orb!"
As Rockster slowly gained control again, Ultra darted towards the legendary Super Pokémon jumped on its head. "Ultra . . . tra!" Ultra released a deadly shock, electrifying Rockster.
As the shocked Rockster fell to the ground, Ultra hopped off as Fire Orb started circling around Rockster. As it circled faster and faster, a giant tower of fire surrounded Rockster, creating a powerful fire spin attack that fried Rockster.
Ultra and Fire Orb hovered to the ground as Rockster emerged from the powerful attacks.
Rockster roared angrily as it flapped its two giant wings to the ground, creating two deadly fissure attacks that went straight towards Jay and his Super Pokémon.
"Mew!" Mewie closed its eyes and swiftly teleported the group away, avoiding Rockster's deadly fissure attack. They reappeared in the same place a split second later, but the attack had already passed.
"Flamed, get up there and use your dragon force attack!" shouted Jay. "Venustoise, release your hydro pumps! Wurm, try your hyper beam one more time!"
While Wurm shot its deadly beam of energy at Rockster and Venustoise released two deadly blasts of gushing water, Flamed flew up above Rockster and released a deadly dragon force attack. The three attacks hit Rockster at full force.
"Mewie, hold it still with your disable attack," ordered Jay. "Fire Orb, released a raging fire attack!"
Mewie closed its eyes, and put Rockster into a trance, making it unable to move. Fire Orb hovered up into the air and released a streaming blast of fire that heated Rockster.
Chapter Nineteen: The Victory Road
"Ultra, Litatra, join with Thundeer," ordered Jay.
Ultra and Litatra rushed over to Thundeer and hopped on its head, right next to its antlers.
"Ultra, use your ultra shocker! Litatra, thundershock attack! Thundeer, use your ultimate shocker, now!" shouted Jay.
Jay's three powerful electrical Super Pokémon all started to charge up and released a deadly blast of electricity the shocked Rockster.
"Flamed, Fire Orb, flamethrower, now!" shouted Jay. "Venustoise, Wurm, hydro pumps! Mewie, keep it in a trance!"
All of Jay's Super Pokémon focused their powerful attacks, trying to stop Rockster, until . . .
All the attacks merged together and caused a giant explosion that created a brilliant blast of light that filled the entire Victory Road.
When the blast died down, all of Jay's Super Pokémon stood by his side to see what had happened to Rockster. But . . .
"Ster." Rockster remained, panting and panting, extremely warn out and ready to give in.
"I don't want to capture you Rockster!" shouted Jay. "I just need you to stand down so I can get to the Pokémon League Games. Defeating you seemed to be my last test . . . but maybe taming you was!" Jay stepped up in front of his Super Pokémon and shouted, "Rockster, why did you want to fight!"
Rockster continued panting and slowly turned its head away from Jay . . . but started to stumble and collapse on the ground.
"Rockster!" Jay rushed over to the giant legendary Super Pokémon and bent down next to it. "Will you be okay?"
"Rock." Rockster continued turning his head away from Jay, trying to avoid his defeat.
"I know The Master didn't do this to you, nor did the Celestial Pokémon," murmured Jay. "You're just like any other Pokémon, aren't you?"
Rockster slowly glanced towards Jay and nodded.
"You're lonely," he replied. "And you're seriously injured, I'm sorry. Here." He enlarged a Mega Ball and held it out. "If you want, you can join me and my group. Do you wish to join us?"
Rockster thought for a moment but slowly started to nod.
Jay smiled and stood up. "Welcome to the group Rockster!" Jay hurled the ball and it hit Rockster on the back, swiftly capturing the Super Pokémon. The ball hurled back towards Jay's hands and it started to shake. When it stopped, Jay smiled as it teleported back to Professor Oak Jr.'s lab. "Well, I guess this really was my victory at the Victory Road."
"Flamed."
"Stoise."
"Wurm!"
"Deer!"
"Mew!"
"Lit ta!"
"Orb!"
"Ult tra." Jay's eight Super Pokémon all nodded with agreement, as he turned back towards them.
Jay smiled. "I'm guessing you all need a rest. Flamed, Venustoise, Wurm, Thundeer, return!" He recalled the four Super Pokémon, and slowly turned to the two young Super Pokémon, and his two traveling companions. "Let's go. It's almost dawn."
Mewie and Litatra closed their eyes and suddenly started to hover in the air by using their psychic abilities.
Jay smirked. "Thanks, no more carrying you guys." He glanced upward towards the exit of the Victory Road. "We're almost there . . ."
