THE

During the Battle at the Hidden Mountain . . .

As Prince Pikachu and his troops attacked the Pokénib Empire on the Hidden Mountain, Meowtha, Meowtho the leader of Pokénib's twin sister, decided to start her own Empire. But, there was no way her twin brother's Empire would still be around. Destroying it would be her first task.

Chapter One: Attack of the Pokénite

Prince Pikachu and his Raichu body Raichuna walked through a small forest, which had a river nearby.

Prince Pikachu had led the Pokémon that the Pokénib Empire had attacked into a battle against the Pokénib's men. They had won the battle, but the Pokénib's chance of winning the war was high.

"It wasn't that smart a thing to do," said Raichuna, "to let everyone go."

"It was the others' chose," said Prince Pikachu. "I said, if you wish to continue with me and fighting the Pokénib Empire, come. If not, go find a place to live. I guess they decided that war was too much for them."

"But," said Raichuna, "other Empires might arise too. Meowtho's Pokénib Empire probably started a whole chain reaction in time itself. He probably changed the way of a peaceful future."

"We need to get some water Pokémon to transport us to a safe spot," said Prince Pikachu. "I already talked to a Staryu and Starmie about taking us there."

"Attack!" shouted a voice.

All of a sudden, a number of Pidgeotto began using their gust attack on Prince Pikachu and Raichuna.

"It's an ambush," said Prince Pikachu. He began to charge up. "Pik-a-chuuuuuu!" A blast of electricity it a number of the Pidgeotto.

"I'll use my thunderbolt," said Raichuna. "Rai-chu!" Electricity shot up and hit the other Pidgeotto.

"Diglett," shouted the voice again, "dig!"

Diglett began shooting out of the ground rapidly. One hit Raichuna hard.

Prince Pikachu gasped. He thought for a quick second. He began moving from side to side really quickly. It almost seemed that there was two of Prince Pikachu. The Diglett were missing the prince.

"Raichuna," ordered Prince Pikachu, "use double team!"

Raichuna nodded and did the same.

"Raichuna," ordered Prince Pikachu again, "body slam acouple of the Diglett, but not all of them."

Raichuna body slammed two of them.

"Now," said Prince Pikachu, "Staryu! Water gun!"

All of a sudden, a star-like Pokémon came spinning towards Prince Pikachu and Raichuna. It landed and shot water at the Pokémon.

A Pokémon from a tree dropped down. "This is Commander Lickitung! The Pokénite Empire, return!"

Chapter Two: Old Friends

Prince Pikachu frowned. The area had been cleared out. He had decided it wouldn't have been the best thing to chase after them.

He sighed. "That's not good."

"My prince, if I heard correctly, the Lickitung said Pokénite Empire, not the Pokénib Empire," informed Raichuna. "It seems we have a new enemy to look out for."

The prince nodded. He turned to the Staryu. "Is your other Starmie ally nearby?"

"Yes he is," the Staryu answered. "Will you still be needing us Prince Pikachu?"

The Pikachu thought for a moment. "Yes, yes I will need you and your brother. But for different reasons then we started out with.

Catera sighed has she moved the Metapod back to their trees.

After the battle at the Hidden Mountain, the bands of creatures had joined together to rebuild their homes and families. Many of the captives from the Pokénib Empire had returned, injured, but had returned. Many others hadn't returned alive or at all.

They were creating their new homes in the forests west of the water lands.

Catera didn't really mind the move, and she really didn't mind since some of her new friends she meet at the Hidden Mountain were there too.

Her main friends at the Hidden Mountain were Prince Pikachu, Raichuna, Pidge, Chara, Squirt, and Bulbie. But only Pidge, Chara, Squirt, and Bulbie were there. Prince Pikachu and Raichuna were on a mission to stop the remains of the Pokénib.

The Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur there were working on building the homes and villages. The Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard were collecting the items they needed to build their homes. The Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise were collecting water for the small town. The Pidgey, Pidgeotto, and Pidgeot were keeping a watch over the construction site with the Butterfree and Beedrill. Meanwhile, the Caterpie and Weedle were bring the weak, injured, or not moveable (this would be Metapods and Kakuna) to a safe place.

"Why am I always doing the dirty work," Catera muttered. "Always make the little guys work. Why can't these dumb Metapod move themselves?"

"Because we're in a state where we can do little," the Metapod answered.

Catera stopped. "Alright, do you want me to just leave you right here or something? If not, just stay quiet."

She walked over and placed the Metapod on the ground with all the other pods.

"Pst, Catera!" whispered a voice.

The small Caterpie looked around.

"Up here, in the trees," whispered the voice.

Catera looked up and there was a familiar Pidgey she had meet awhile back. It was Pidge, her friend from back home.

The bird swooped down. "Catera, you'll never guess whose here!"

Catera gave her friend a look. "I'll be fine as long as it's not Meowtho himself."

In the main meeting area of the small under-construction-town, millions of Pokémon were watching the Prince Pikachu speak of what was going on.

Catera and Pidge watched. They were happy the Pikachu was back, but they had a feeling it had something to do about the Pokénib Empire.

"Bugs, birds, lizards, turtles, and many other creatures out here," said Prince Pikachu. "I have come here to tell you about what is happening to our world. At first, it was calm, peaceful. Then, Meowtho's idea of order for our world came and his Pokénib Empire appeared. Now, he has started a chain reaction in our world's future, for a new Empire has arisen: The Pokénite Empire. And I have a feeling that Meowtho's empire is still growing. And the only way to stop it is to destroy it, both of them. So I am asking you all, Pokémon, join me for now to stop the Pokénite and Pokénib Empires!"

Chapter Three: Rounding Up the Troops

Many of the people began murmuring the words "Pokénite" and "Pokénib" and "empires."

"Now, you don't have to come with me," continued Prince Pikachu. "But if you don't, the world as we know will be ruled by an evil emperor. I do not want to risk all of your people, children especially, only your strongest warriors. Come to me after the meeting and talk to me about joining my cause to rebel against them."

Grouped together to see their friend once more, Chara, Bulbie, Squirt, Catera, and Pidge waited as the next Pokémon went to talk to Prince Pikachu about joining his cause.

As the Pokémon ahead of them left the Prince, the five Pokémon rushed up to Prince Pikachu.

"Guys! You're here!" said Prince Pikachu happily.

"You didn't think we'd just not show up, did ya?" asked Chara.

Raichuna stepped forward. "Give the Prince some air guys. I know you're happy to see him, I'm happy to see you kids too, but a person has to breath."

"Yes sir!" said Bulbie and Squirt.

Prince Pikachu sat down. "But I have a question for all five of you."

The five fell silent.

"Besides the battle on the Hidden Mountain, what battle experience to you five have?" asked Prince Pikachu.

Then everyone fell silent.

Prince Pikachu sighed. "Uh, that's what I thought. You'll be sub-commanders in the group, helping out the leaders. I'm sorry you couldn't be leaders yourselves but I'll need Pokémon with experience to help us. Do you know who?"

"A Pokémon that is strong and that could help fight would be someone like Raichuna that was super-powered by the Pokégods' evolution stones," said Chara.

"You should ask around, talk to the lead Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, Pidgeot, Butterfree, Beedrill, and so on," said Catera. "They are your best bet."

Prince Pikachu sighed. He turned to his bodyguard. "Raichuna, you could be helpful in this rebellion against these empires."

"How?" he asked.

"Because our people evolved you with the evolution stone of thunder, your powers are superior then most of us," said Prince Pikachu. "You should be the sub-commander."

"So Raichuna can be a sub-commander, but we can," said Bulbie.

"Fine, you'll be the heads over your groups when your groups on missions," said the prince. "Speaking of missions, I sent a Fearow out to search the area. They're looking for possible spots the empires could strike."

"So, have a plan yet?" asked Squirt.

Prince Pikachu smiled. "Of course. With skills, and with the Pokégods on our side, this plan should work."

It wasn't long until Prince Pikachu's Fearow had landed.

"Prince," said Fearow. "It appears that the Pokénib Empire is going to strike in two spots. Meowtho has confidence that his empire is doing well. One spot is Dragon Lake, while the second is the Beedrill Forest, right next to the Goldeen Lake."

Prince Pikachu nodded. "In that case, Squirt, Chara, and Bulbie-"

"I'm not finish yet, prince," said the Fearow. "It appears that the Pokénite Empire is hitting the Goldeen Lake. This will probably mean the two empires will attack each other."

"And in doing so, they could destroy both places at once," said Raichuna.

Chapter Four: The Plan

"If they do strike, then we'll have a serious problem," said Prince Pikachu. "There are three attacks going on at once, and I only think I can stop two of them."

"What's your plan, my prince?" asked Raichuna.

"We can split up, half of the troops go to Dragon Lake while the other half goes to the Beedrill Forest to stop Meowtho's attack," said the prince. "But we would have no men left to fight the Pokénite Empire."

"My I make a suggestion." Catera crawled over to the prince. "If we leave early, before they strike, the troops assigned to the Dragon Lake and Beedrill Forest mission may finish before the attack starts on Goldeen Lake. If one of the missions finishes first, they should head over to the Goldeen Lake to stop the Pokénite Empire."

Prince Pikachu took a deep breath. "Fearow, when did you think they'd attack?"

"Tomorrow morning," answered the Fearow. "They were just setting up camp. The Pokénite Empire was still heading to their camp, so I'm not sure."

"Good," said the Prince. "Rally the Pokémon, we'll need a good lay out on what we're going to be doing."

* * * *

After some planning, Prince Pikachu had sent Chara, Bulbie, and Squirt off towards the Beedrill Forest, with a number of Pokémon to attack Meowtho's camp. Meanwhile, Prince Pikachu, Pidge, Catera, and Raichuna were off to the Dragon Lake to stop the Pokénib Empire there too.

Prince Pikachu and Raichuna flew on two Pidgeotto, with Catera on Pidge taking the rear of the aerial invasion.

"Do you really think the Pokénite Empire and Meowtho's Empire are going to strike in the same place?" asked Catera, on Pidge's back. "What are the odds of that happening?"

"Pretty high chance," said Prince Pikachu. "Well, now anyways. Because of my plan, the two Empire's won't have any men left to battle."

"What if your plan doesn't work?" asked Pidge.

"Then our allies down there, including Chara, Bulbie, and Squirt, are in big trouble," said Prince Pikachu.

"It could be worse," said Catera. "It could be a trap!"

* * * *

Chara, Bulbie, and Squirt, followed by a group of scouts, surrounded Meowtho's camping site.

"The Pokénib Empire is going to get a charge outta this," said Chara. A number of Pikachu were up in trees."

"They'll get blown away," said Bulbie. A couple of Spearow, Pidgey, Pidgeotto, and Butterfree were flying above ready to blow the enemy away.

"And the rest of our men are ready to attack," said Squirt.

Bulbie and Chara glared at Squirt. "You were suppose to make a pun out of our men!"

"Oh be quiet before I punish you all," said a voice.

Chara, Bulbie, and Squirt turned to see Meowtho and Meowtha standing next to each other, with their men behind them, along with Chara and the other's allies.

"You've fallen right into Pokénib's trap," said Meowtho.

"With the help of me, Meowtha of the Pokénite Empire," said a second Meowth. "Now with you three out of the way, we can rule the world, and take over the place of the Pokégods with no problem at all!"

"Brother and sister side-by-side, ready to destroy you weaklings," sneered Meowtho.

"Pikachu!" shouted Chara. "Pikachu, thunderbolt!"

The Pikachu shot out of the trees, and into the air. They did their electric attacks, as they were airborne.

"It's an ambush!" shouted Meowtho. "All troops attack!"

Chapter Five: Ambush –

A Three Way Battle

"Send in the aerial Pokémon of the Pokénib Empire!" ordered Meowtho. "Destroy the rebels!"

"All Pikachu, aim and use your thundershock on those birds," said Chara. "We can beat those pair of Meowth."

"Alright, Charizard burn those cats!" ordered Squirt. "You can easily stop them."

Meowtha smirked. "Not as easy as you think."

"Char!" the Charizard all shot blasts of fire at the two felines, but when the fire cleared, they just stood there smirking.

Bulbie frowned. "They're protecting themselves with a light screen of some sort. We'll have to break through it. All Venusaur and Ivysaur, takedown now! Charizard, Blastoise, Wartortle, and Charmeleon use your strength attacks!"

"Chu!" All the Pikachu had already fried most of the birds, and there was no more aerial defense left for the two empires.

The group of Charizard, Venusaur, and the other stronger Pokémon tried breaking through the light screen, but it wasn't possible. There was some psychic Pokémon controlling it.

"All Kadabra," ordered Meowtha, "come out from hiding and attack now! My Fearow should all handle the sky."

"My Hypno, you may appear so you can stop these idiots," ordered Meowtho.

Suddenly, tons and tons of Kadabra and Hypno appeared from no where and surrounded the group.

Suddenly, a familiar Ekans and a familiar Lickitung appeared behind the two leaders.

"Lickitung, take command, I must depart, don't forget the plan." A Kadabra touched Meowtha and was teleported away.

"You too Ekans, and don't forget our plan." One of the Hypno picked up Meowtho and teleported the cat away from the battle.

"All bird Pokémon, knock those Pikachu from the threes!" ordered Lickitung.

Suddenly, tons and tons of Fearow which going full speed at the trees, knocking out some of the slower Pikachu.

"Flying Pokémon, attack them now!" ordered Bulbie.

"Row!" Tons of the Spearow went full speed at the Fearow, along with the Butterfree and Pidgeotto by the side, while the Pidgey were on guard.

The forest was in a state of war: Flames, leafs, and gushing water was flying everywhere, shocks of electricity were flying, and psybeams were being shot. It was chaos, which was perfect for the empires.

Ekans gave an evil look in his eyes. He glanced towards one of the Dugtrio that were popping out of the ground. "Order the rock force to start launching the Geodude and Graveler at all of the flying Pokémon."

"Yes sir," agreed the three Diglett as they dug underground.

"Commander," said one of the Kadabra to Lickitung. "Shall we began taking captives of the injured Pokémon."

"Yes," said Lickitung. "Both of the rebels and the Pokénib, we must make sure Emperor Meowtha plans succeed."

Suddenly, Bulbie glanced up and saw tons of Geodude, Graveler, and boulders hurled at their Pokémon and the enemy's Fearow-troops.

"It's a three-way invasion," murmured Bulbie. "They don't want to stop only us, they want to stop each other."

"Fearow, fly down and attack!" ordered Lickitung.

Suddenly, a Fearow dived down and slammed into Bulbie. Lickitung glanced down at the Bulbasaur and smirked. "We have one of the leaders, perfect. Kadabra, begin collecting."

* * * *

When the battle had neared an end, all of the Pokémon of the rebels were totally wiped out, while some of both of the empires' Pokémon were still in fighting shape.

"Retreat!" ordered Chara. She was the only of her friends left. Squirt had disappeared, and she knew the Pokénite Empire had already captured Bulbie.

The rebels had managed to leave, since the Pokénite and Pokénib Empires were both still fighting and didn't have the time to stop the pitiful rebels.

Chapter Six: Battle for Dragon Lake

"All hale our great dragon leader, the Jolt Pokégod Kingudora," said the main Seadra in the middle of Dragon Lake.

Tons of Seadra and Horsea were in the middle of the lake, worshipping a statue they brought of the Jolt Pokégod of the Dragons, Kingudora, to the Dragon Lake. Unfortunately, the other inhabits of the lake, the Dratini and Dragonair, weren't too thrilled of this.

"Kingudora!" shouted the small dragon Pokémon.

"Hold it, you Jolt Pokégod worshippers," growled a Dragonair that had slivered out of the water. "Do you realize that this is the territory of the Indigo Pokégods, and that worshippers of Kingudora are not welcomed in the Dragon Lake. Those who worship Kingudora are sentence to death."

"Trust me, that's the least of your problems." All of the dragon Pokémon glanced upward and saw swarms and swarms of Beedrill appearing in the sky with a flock of Fearow. Suddenly, the waters began to shift and three larger Gyarados shot from the waters. "Your Pokégods won't mean anything, now that Emperor Meowtha and the Pokénite Empire is taking over!" A Victreebell appeared on the head of one of the Gyarados.

"It's an attack!" the crowd cried. "Run! Swim! Hide!"

All of the Gyarados spun around and created a giant tornado, destroying the lake and sending the statues flying and the Pokémon becoming badly injured.

"I smell victory," said the Victreebell proudly, leader of the attack.

"All I smell's a stupid plant!" A shadow covered the lake, and Victreebell looked up. There were Pidgeotto, Butterfree, and Beedrill flying up high in the sky. On top of one of the Pidgeotto, was a familiar looking Pikachu. It hopped down next to Victreebell.

"Prince," said Victreebell. "What do you want, and why did you bring all these annoyances with you?"

"We're here to ambush your attack," replied Prince Pikachu.

Victreebell sighed. "Oh, pathetic little prince. You're too late. Even if you do defeat us here, you won't win."

"We all ready know about the other attack, and my other troops are handling that," answered the Prince.

"Damn." Victreebell sighed once again. "Well there's only one thing to do." Victreebell vines shot out and grabbed Prince Pikachu. "I have your Prince! Don't make any sudden moves or he's gone!"

Pidge dived down, performing a quick attack, and sliced Victreebell's vines, releasing Prince Pikachu.

"All Horsea, Seadra, Dratini, and Dragonair evacuate the lake!" announced Catera from her ride, on her Butterfree. "I repeat, all Pokémon please evacuate! Any who fail to escape will be shocked." Catera turned to the Butterfree, Pidgeotto, and Beedrill. "All flying Pokémon, attack enemy Beedrill."

"What are you going to do, Prince," growled Victreebell, recalling its vines. "How are you going to stop a whole lake of Gyarados?"

Prince Pikachu slowly backed away from Victreebell, almost scared. He slowly backed away, until he realized there was now where else to go except the lake behind. The Prince slowly dipped his tail in the lake. "This is how." The Prince took a deep breath then loudly shouted, "PIKACHU!" The Pikachu used his thunderwave attack to fry and paralyze the Pokémon in the lake.

Raichuna hopped of his Pidgeotto and also dipped his tail in the lake and began to use his thunderwave attack.
Within several minutes, all the Gyarados floated to the top of the lake, completely paralyzed.

Chapter Seven: A Battle without an End

"Pidge ot!" All the Pidgeotto used their wing attacks and slowly beat the Beedrill, while all the Butterfree used their psybeam and confusion attacks, and the Beedrill took on the other Beedrill one-on-one. Prince Pikachu's troops were winning this round.

Prince Pikachu, Raichuna, and Pidge walked up to the Victreebell. "Well it seems you and your troops have won this round."

Prince Pikachu smiled. "Yes, it would seem we have."

Victreebell shrugged. "Just an ambush gone wrong. We have more tricks up our sleeve. Like this." Victreebell took a deep breath and shot out stun spore upon then trio. Then, Victreebell wrapped its vines around the three Pokémon. "And I'm off!"

"I don't think so!" shouted a voice from above. Suddenly, a small thread of webbing hot Victreebell's back.

The giant plant turned around and saw a little Caterpie, trying to hold onto Victreebell by using its string shot attack. "Pathetic." Victreebell's razor leafs cut the string in half, and the plant began to walk away.

"Yes, yes you are pathetic." Catera shot another string shot on Victreebell back.

"Puh-lease." As Victreebell turned around, it fell something wrapping around it. The string shot attack was slowly wrapping around Victreebell. The plant fell forward.

Catera stood tall happily and smiled. "I saved them." Suddenly, Catera began to shot a blast of string shot in the air for some strange reason. The webbing seemed to cover Catera, until it was fully covered in a cocoon. "I've evolved."

Victreebell sighed. "Oh no, here it comes."

Catera quickly hardened, and leaped from its ride. Catera slammed into Victreebell and sent it flying into the lake.

Suddenly, a blast of electricity hit Victreebell, since the lake was still surging with electricity. "Why . . . me?" Victreebell then yelled for all of his troops to retreat and that the Pokénite Empire would one day rule.

"Pidgeotto!" shouted Catera, upward towards her friends. "Pick up the prince and his friends who have been paralyzed, and return to our base!"

* * * *

"And now, we will honor Catera for saving Prince Pikachu and evolving by giving her a new name," said Raichuna, back at their village. "Catera is now Meta, and will be looked after as a cocoon Pokémon. May the Pokégods look upon Meta and agree to let her have great power when she evolves!" Raichuna, Prince Pikachu, and Pidge all stood behind Meta, as they awarded her.

The crowd cheer, after their grand victory over the Pokénite Empire, though the other warriors had yet to come back.

"Somebody's coming!" shouted a Pidgeotto, from the three up above.

Prince Pikachu hopped down from the award platform and walked over to the entrance of their village. There was Squirt, slowly walking towards the entrance, but collapsed on the way in.

"Squirt!" Prince Pikachu walked over to the Squirtle. "What happened?"

"The battle failed," answered Squirt. "Bulbie has been captured, along with tons of our other troops, Chara is trying to lead our remaining troops back, and I am the first to arrive with horrible news." Squirt coughed for a moment. "Their next attack, will most likely be here."

Prince Pikachu sighed. "Things are nothing near over. And if they attack here, all hope will be lost." Prince Pikachu sighed and turned upwards. "That's why I'll be needing to contact a few Pokémon to help our battle against them." The Prince picked up Squirt and headed back in.

"Squirt!" Pidge flew over to her new friend. "Will Squirt be all right?"

"We'll need to head over to Chansey's Medical Center," answered the Prince. "But in the mean time. I'll need several of you to start a search party for the rest of the missing troops, I'll also need acouple of you to rescue the captured troops, and the rest of you to watch the village. One of the Empires will be attacking soon. In the mean time, I'll need a Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise, and of course Raichuna, to come with me on my journey towards the Evolution Cavern."

"Why are you going there?" asked Raichuna.

"I need to talk to the Pokégods," answered Prince Pikachu.

To be continued . . .

Sample Chapter of the Next Book:
The Pokégods

"Prince Pikachu, we realize your village will soon by wiped out, but what does this have anything to do with the Indigo Pokégods?" asked Alakazam, standing in front of Gengar, Golem, and Machamp. "And why are you asking me, not Machamp?"

"I am the warrior god," replied Machamp.

Prince Pikachu sighed. "Because warriors we have. But so do the Empires. We need a new kind of power."

"Psychic powers," replied Machamp. "It's always the psychic powers."

"No, we have that too with out Butterfree," answered the Pikachu. "We need protection. Your psychic powers can do that."

"Why, exactly should we help you?" asked Golem.

"Because you and the Jolt Pokégods are also in some what danger." The Prince sighed. "These Empires, the Pokénib and Pokénite, wish to overthrow you gods. Without you, they will be in complete control. So in some way, giving us protection is actually helping you."

"The Jolt Pokégods they can take," replied Gengar. "It is my own health that I am concerned about. Though, as the god of darkness, I believe these Meowth my have some purpose."

Alakazam ignored Gengar's comment. "So in a way, you and your troops will be working for us, correct?"

"Not for the Jolt Pokégods?" asked Gengar.

Prince Pikachu sighed once again. "Yes, we'll be working for you, and you'll call upon us when needed. But as for the Jolt Pokégods . . ." The Prince turned behind him to see what the lead Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise thought. They all shook their heads, but Raichuna nodded simply. "We'll need protection from the Jolt Pokégods as well."

"They are another story," replied Golem. "There is no way to reach them, though being the god of earth I may be able to help you."

"Protection from use is accessible, and we will do," said Alakazam. "We frankly don't care about the other gods."

"I do," replied Gengar.

Alakazam lifted Gengar with its psychic powers in anger. "Shut up!"

Prince Pikachu waited for the two Pokégods to stop fighting before he continued. "So, will you protect the village?"

"Yes," answered Alakazam.

"And will you bring us to the lair of the Jolt Pokégods?" the Prince asked.

"Of course." Golem stood up. "Follow me."
