The Moon Pokémon

Legend of the Moon Pokémon
At one point in time, my Pokémon Researchers and Pokémon Watchers believed that specific Pokémon originally originated from the moon, or some nearby planet other than earth. These Pokémon were Jigglypuff, Clefairy, Nidoran male, Nidoran female, Serebii, and their evolved forms. And, at one point, Pokémon Researches uncovered the strange devices the concealed the weakened spirits of the Pokégods Alakazam and Gengar . . . along with what appeared to be a giant Jigglypuff-Pokégod . . .
Chapter One: Shattered Homes
"Hey look! They're back!"
All the injured and worn out Digimon of New Village gathered as Prince Pikachu, Raichuna, Bulbie, Chara, Squirt, Pidge, Venus, Hydra, Tortoise, and Sky all slowly came into the village. Houses and small buildings were destroyed, and fires were still being put out, but to their surprise, there wasn't a Mew in sight.
"Good, you're back alive," said Herakurosu, as he approached the ten Pokémon warriors. "From what we saw, it appeared it appeared to be quite a battle. Was that not Alakazam I saw."
"Yeah there was Alakazam, Mew-Mew, the Creator Pokégods, and whatever else was there," muttered Raichuna as he and the others trudged pass their ally from the other continent.
"Did we miss something?" asked a Butterfree, as she lowered herself down in front of them.
"Meta?" asked Pidge slowly. "That you?"
"Um, Frea now, but yet it's me." The Butterfree did a little spin in the air and chuckled. "See, now I don't have to stay behind anymore."
Prince Pikachu sighed as he fell to the ground. "We need a break."
"Why, what happened?" asked Prima, as he approached the crowd. "Explain to us exactly what happened?"
* * * *
"Well this should be interesting," murmured Meowtho, as he turned to his two commanders. "It appears we have some visitors among us."
"That meteor that fell from the sky, you mean?" asked Commander Koffings. "Yes, other Pokénib members are investigating it right now."
Meowtho snorted. "No need for investigations," replied Meowtho. "Gengar has already informed me about this whole thing. We've had visitors with us for quite some time now." Meowtho chuckled. "But Alakazam's fools will most likely be taking care of this."
"Did they not just come from the deadly battle with Mew-Mew?" asked the Ekans.
"This, that is correct but these are foolish ones," replied Meowtho. "They'll do anything to keep Alakazam happy- or else he'd simply stop protecting them and consider them a treat."
The Ekans slithered towards the emperor of the Pokénib Empire. "But what of these rumored Creator Pokégods? And the one who destroyed Mew-Mew . . . Togepi."
"Mew-Mew wasn't destroyed, merely concealed until it has enough strength and power to break free," murmured Meowtho. "At this time, we shall strike Alakazam's pathetic Pokémon warriors."
"What shall we do now?" asked Commander Koffings.
Meowtho chuckled, as he turned away from his two commanders and glanced outside towards the blue sky. "There's one thing both the Indigo Pokégods and these Pokémon warriors are forgetting: Moltres."
"Hmmm?" wondered the two commanders in confusion.
"Moltres has left its tower, away from the Evolution Cavern entrance, and is now idle," answered Meowtho. "It no longer feels it needs to protect the Indigo Pokégods now that it is out of their presence, and is now uncontrollable, as most of the prophecies say would happen."
"So we'll go after Moltres?" asked the two commanders.
"Moltres will come third on our list," answered Meowtho. "We don't know of its location, so we'll go after Articuno and Zapdos first. With them on our side, these Pokémon warriors, the Pokénite Empire, and the Pokégods themselves won't be able to stop us."
Chapter Two: The Pokégod's Servant
"So, in the end, after Efi and the Creator Pokégods appear, and they call forth Togepi, this might not be over yet?" asked Prima.
"And why wouldn't it be over?" asked Prince Pikachu, after they had all explained what had happened.
"The meteor could still be a part of this whole Mew thing," replied Prima.
Bulbie sighed and rolled her eyes. "Yeah right. This has something to do with other forces at work here. The Mew all retreated when they realized that Mew-Mew was gone." Bulbie glanced up at the sky, and sighed. "Something else is going on here."
Squirt and Chara sighed and replied simply, "screw it."
Frea nodded. "Yeah, if something does happen, we should wait for it to happen. We have enough problems here at New Village, rebuilding and all. If those creatures do show here, we'll be ready."
Herakurosu chuckled. "You're feisty for a newly evolved Pokémon, aren't ya?"
Frea shrugged and glanced at Pidge. "I've always been like this, right?"
Pidge sighed and nodded. "Sad, but true."
The small group of Pokémon started laughing. Even though it truly wasn't that funny, they were all so exhausted and so glad it was all over.
As the laughing slowly died down, there was a brilliant flash of light and Efi, one of Alakazam's newest elite warriors, appeared before them and started walking towards the group.
"What's so funny?" asked Efi, approaching Prince Pikachu and the others.
"What do you want?" asked Prince Pikachu.
"More like, what does Alakazam want?" muttered Herakurosu.
Efi stopped and glanced back at the stream of smoke that the meteor had left. "There are new Pokémon here that are attempting to reach the Evolution Cavern. Additionally, the Pokénib Empire has sent troops over to capture these new Pokémon, which would not be good for us."
"So, you want us to stop them for your Pokégods, right?" asked Herakurosu.
Efi glared at Herakurosu and snorted. "Actually Herakurosu, they didn't mention you." Efi glanced at Bulbie, Squirt, Chara, Raichuna, Frea, and Pidge. "You six were chosen by Alakazam to investigate this fallen meteor and stop the Pokénib troops."
"What about me?" asked Prince Pikachu.
"Go with them for now," replied Efi. "When I appear again, you'll be coming with me to help the Pokégod of Light." Efi closed its eyes and teleported away with a brilliant flash of light.
"No time for rest," muttered Bulbie and Squirt, slowly getting up.
"I can come with you, if you need my assistance," said Herakurosu. "There's not much happening in our continent, so my troops can help you out."
Prince Pikachu nodded as he slowly rose up. "Prima."
"Yes?" The Primeape rushed over to the Pikachu, and did a little bow. "What is it that you request?"
"I need some of your strongest warriors," said Prince Pikachu. "If these Pokémon from the meteor are causing such a big threat, we'll probably need backup." He glanced at his friends and shouted, "we'll rest for several seconds, but we'll have to head on out soon."
Chapter Three: The Deadly Attack
"So, these strange new Pokémon are coming from another world?" asked Pidge. "Does this mean there's a whole different planet, full of new Pokémon?"
The Pokémon were all flying by Pidgeot towards the Hidden Mountain where the giant meteor had crashed. As they flew towards there, they could see Pokénib, along with several Pokénite, troops heading towards the mountain by foot.
"Or maybe they're planet couldn't support life anymore," said Herakurosu, "and these are the only survivors left."
"Who traveled here through a meteor?" replied Raichuna, with a large hint of sarcasm.
Herakurosu shrugged. "You never know."
Frea chuckled, as she flew side-by-side next to the Pidgeot. "Course, they're planet can't be as bad as ours. We have empires, Pokégods, tyrants, and war. There can't be anything worse than that."
As the Pidgeot flock continued flying towards the mountain, several blasts of energy shot out from the foot of the mountain. The two blasts took out two Pidgeot and they fell towards the ground.
"Those looked like hyper beams," murmured Chara.
"They have the same powers as we do on our planet," murmured Herakurosu. He glanced at Prince Pikachu and shouted, "how do we know one of the Pokégod groups didn't just do summon a huge meteor and to trick the empires."
"Cause Efi wouldn't have come to us if it were a trap." Prince Pikachu stood up on his Pidgeot and turned towards to other troops. "All Pidgeot, dive down so you won't get hit by the hyper beams!"
The Pidgeot flock continued flying at full speed towards the mountain, but lowered themselves down towards the trees so that they wouldn't get hit as easily. The flock scatted throughout the forest, attempting to surround the giant mountain by all sides.
But, even as the Pidgeot scattered, hyper beams continued knocking down Pidgeot.
Prince Pikachu's Pidgeot, who was none other than Sky, shot back up into the air and shouted to the others, "all Pidgeot, land and troops attack!" Then, Sky dived back down into the forest and landed by Prince Pikachu companion Pokémon.
As the Pokémon warriors hopped off of their Pidgeot, there were several loud roars as several Tauros from the Pokénib Empire started stampeding towards the Hidden Mountain.
"Pidgeot," said Prince Pikachu, "try to slow down the Tauros with your wind attacks." The Pikachu turned towards the others and nodded. "Everyone else, full speed towards the mountain!"
While Pidge and Frea flew towards the mountain, the Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmeleon, Raichu, and Herakurosu ran as fast as they could towards the Hidden Mountain, hoping none of the hyper beams would it them.
As they continued running they suddenly emerged in the clearing around the Hidden Mountain, and guarding the various entrances were these strange large Pokémon they had never seen before. One was a light blue while the other was a dark purple. The large purple one had a giant horn, while the blue one had a smaller horn but appeared to be more well built, and had obvious features that hinted her to be a female Pokémon. There were two of these creatures guarding this particular entrance to the cave.
"What are these things?" murmured Prince Pikachu, slowly backing up.
"I'm not sure," murmured Raichuna, "but there's nothing we can't shock. Thunder!"
"Thunderbolt!" Prince Pikachu and Raichuna stood side by side and released deadly bolts of electricity that attempted to shock the giant and strange Pokémon, but as soon as they attack ended they remained unharmed.
"I'm guessing they're ground-types," murmured Pidge.
"We could always ask who they are." Frea slowly approached them and asked, "who are you and why are you firing at us?"
"I am Nidoqueen," introduced the blue one.
"And I am Nidoking," said the purple one.
"We are the chosen Pokémon the guard the last Pokémon from the moon," they said at once. "And no feeble empire nor any group of rebels will stop our high lords." It was too late for Frea when suddenly they both fired duel hyper beams at the butterfly Pokémon.
Chapter Four: The Raticate . . .
"Rat!" As the two hyper beams headed straight towards the curious Frea, a Raticate from New Village jumped from out of a tree and slammed Frea to the ground just before the hyper beams hit.
"Who are you?" hissed Frea, slowly getting free from the Raticate.
"He's a Raticate from New Village," answered Herakurosu. "He was one of the Pokémon that were holding off the Mew attack."
Frea fell silent as she and the Raticate headed back towards their companions.
"Take this!" Chara, Squirt, and Bulbie took advantaged of the recharging Pokémon and fired their flamethrower, water gun, and razor leaf attacks at the Nidoqueen creature and the Nidoking monster. But the two attacks didn't seem very effective as the two giant Pokémon started towards them.
"Time to put you all to rest! Whirlwind!" Pidge started to rapidly flap her wings to try to knock down the two Pokémon, but they were extremely strong.
"These two Pokémon were probably evolved through some kind of evolution stone the Pokégods on their world had," murmured Raichuna.
Prince Pikachu turned to Herakurosu and replied, "Raichuna's electric attacks don't work against ground-types, and since he's the only stone-evolved Pokémon we have right now, we'll be needing your strength to stop these Pokémon."
"I can't get in close enough," replied Herakurosu. "One blast of their hyper beam will knock be down to the ground."
"Then let me!" The same Raticate swiftly climbed up a tree, without the Nidoqueen and the Nidoking taking any notice.
"Frea, Pidge," said Raichuna, "try hitting those two with a razor wind attack."
Frea turned towards Raichuna with a puzzled face. "Pidge's whirlwind attack was completely ineffective, how do you expect a razor wind attack to be effective?"
"It's called a distraction," answered Pidge, swiftly flying towards the two Pokémon.
Frea sighed and followed after the small Pidgey. The two flapped their wings and released sharp blade-like gusts of winds to try to slash their opponents, but they weren't enough and the two giant Pokémon knocked them away.
"Ha!" The Raticate jumped from out of the tree and lunged towards the Nidoking, sinking its giant tooth into its shoulder.
"My turn." Herakurosu swiftly darted towards the Nidoqueen and used its take down attack, knocking the giant Pokémon against the wall of the cave.
"Time to finish them off," said Bulbie, stepping up in front of Prince Pikachu and the others. "Stun spore!" Bulbie released a yellowish spore upon the two giant ground-type Pokémon, and slowly paralyzed them.
"Right! Sleep powder!" Frea got up and fluttered over to two stunned Pokémon. Frea released a bluish powder from its wings and slowly put to two guards to sleep.
Frea, Herakurosu, and the Raticate landed in front of the two Pokémon, as they collapsed on the ground and dozing off.
"Good job," said Prince Pikachu, slowly walking passed the two giant knocked out Pokémon, as the others quickly followed after.
"Hey . . . what about me!" shouted Pidge, who remained on the ground. "I'm still here ya know!"
Frea chuckled as she flew over and helped her old friend up.
"Huh?" Chara turned around and she saw a tinkle of light and heard the Tauros' mooing not too far off. "The Tauros are almost here. The Pidgeot must have not been enough for them."
Herakurosu nodded. "This Raticate and I can handle these Tauros."
"Count us in too," said Frea and Pidge, landing next to the two Pokémon.
"Right, we'll go on ahead," said Raichuna. "We'll be back for you all after this battle is over. And if this Nidoqueen and Nidoking wake up, just hit it with stun spore or sleep powder again."
"Time to see what crashed inside the Hidden Mountain," murmured Prince Pikachu.
Chapter Five: Inside the Hidden Mountain
Prince Pikachu, Raichuna, Bulbie, Chara, and Squirt all slowly hiked up the Hidden Mountain path that would led to the hole in space that the meteor had caused that would led to the Evolution Cavern.
"Heh," chuckled Squirt, "think about it. The last time we were in the Hidden Mountain, it was the first time this group really met."
Chara cleared her throat and pointed back towards the entrance. "Course, Pidge and Frea were both there too."
"Yeah, but you know, it's symbolizes something," said Squirt.
Bulbie and Chara eyed Squirt out of the corner of their eyes and replied, "and what exactly is that, Squirt?'
"Well, uh, I'm not positive," said Squirt, "but it's important." Squirt then started chuckling as he realized that he had been rambling for awhile, and didn't want to make himself look bad. Chara and Bulbie were slightly confused as a giant sweat drop appeared on both of their heads.
Prince Pikachu rolled his eyes and sighed. "So young."
"So true," agreed Raichuna.
"Huh?" The three Pokémon stopped arguing and turned towards the Pikachu and the Raichu. "Hey! What's that suppose to mean!"
The two smirked as they continued walking when suddenly . . .
"Tuff!"
"Fable!"
Suddenly, two giant pink Pokémon appeared in the pathway in front of them. One resembled a giant pink fairy, while the other resembled a giant pink balloon. Behind them were two other of these Pokémon, a Nidoqueen, a Nidoking, and what appeared to be two pre-evolved versions of the two Pokémon that stood before them.
At the end of the path lay a giant hole, which the meteor had created, along with a giant portal to the Evolution Cavern right in the center of the hole.
"You shall not disrupt the current events which are taking place in our new home," said the giant balloon Pokémon.
"Our two lords shall meet your Pokégods," growled the giant fairy Pokémon.
"I'm afraid to ask," said Chara, "but you two are?"
"Wigglytuff," said the giant balloon Pokémon.
"Clefable," said the giant fairy Pokémon.
Prince Pikachu shrugged as he turned towards the others. "I guess we can just attack if their lords are right up ahead."
"Right!" Raichuna started to illuminate with electricity and released a powerful shock that fried to the giant pink Pokémon. But the electric blast wasn't enough.
"Razor leaf!"
"Water gun!"
"Flamethrower!"
The three other Pokémon stepped forward and released their deadly attacks, but they weren't enough to stop this giant Pokémon.
"I these are pretty strong Pokémon," murmured Bulbie.
"Clefable!" Suddenly, the giant fairy Pokémon started waved its fingers back and forth in a rhythmic motion and its fingers started to glow a bright blue.
None of the other Pokémon moved, not positive what attack they were using.
"That's the same attack Togepi was using," noted Prince Pikachu.
Raichuna glanced passed the Wigglytuff and Clefable, and the other Pokémon were almost at the portal. "Prince, we'll need to get around these two giant Pokémon using our agility."
"We can handle anything they throw at us," replied Chara.
"Right." Prince Pikachu and Raichuna started running at full speed towards them. Then, Clefable stopped waving its fingers and it started glowing and suddenly released a deadly earthquake attack. But, the Pikachu and Raichu managed to continue running and dodge the earthquake attack by jumping on the side of the cave and then jumped off of the wall and landed behind the two giant fairies.
But, the earthquake attack hit the other three Pokémon, throwing them off balance and creating a rock slide.
"Tuff!" As Prince Pikachu and Raichuna started running towards the Pokémon with the Nidoqueen and Nidoking guards, they started hearing a soothing song from the Wigglytuff. The song was slowing them down and making then incredibly drowse.
And with them slowing down, this gave the other moon Pokémon the perfect opportunity to enter the portal. And as they did, the portal closed behind them . . .
"Darn," mumbled Prince Pikachu as he slowly started to fall asleep.
"Not quite yet." Efi had already reappeared before the Pikachu and was swiftly teleporting itself and Prince Pikachu over to the Evolution Cavern.
Chapter Six: The Mysterious Warrior
"Stand back Tauros, whirlwind!" The Pidgey and the Butterfree flew up as more Tauros started stampeding towards the mountain and flapped their wings furiously slowing down the Pokémon.
Raticate and Herakurosu took this time to tackling and bite the slowed down Tauros, slowing taking out the remaining Tauros.
The Raticate landed right next to Herakurosu and nodded. "That was easy."
"I have a feeling it isn't over yet," murmured Herakurosu, as Frea and Pidge landed next to them.
"Well, you're right!" Suddenly, the four Pokémon's attention was turned towards a Lickitung and a Victreebell that stood in a tree. It was none other than the Pokémon commanders from the Pokénite. Below them were several Marowak, accompanied by a giant Snorlax.
"And let me guess," said Pidge, "this Snorlax is your ultimate weapon?"
The Lickitung and the Victreebell landed in front of Marowak and Snorlax. "Well, you try to defeat them."
"Pidge, Frea, full power attacks on Snorlax," said Herakurosu. He turned towards Raticate. "Use your super fang attack while I'll use my mega punch."
The four Pokémon rushed towards the giant Snorlax, but all of their attacks were ineffective as they bounced off of the blubber Pokémon.
"Ha!" laughed Commander Lickitung. "Your feeble attempts amuse us so." He turned towards the Marowak. "Take them out now!"
The three Marowak nodded and pulled out their bone clubs and headed straight towards the four Pokémon.
"These Pokémon I can handle." Herakurosu grabbed on of the clubs of the incoming Marowak and took it out of the Pokémon's hands, and whacked the Marowak in the face. But as Herakurosu tried to attack the other two, they swiftly moved out of the way and started surrounding Herakurosu. They were combining their double team and agility attacks to confuse Herakurosu.
"Stun spore!" Frea quickly flew over the circling Marowak and tried to release its yellowish powder upon them, but the Marowak were spinning so fast that it created a giant wind, which sent the spores flying up towards Frea, and ended up paralyzing her.
Suddenly, more razor leafs shot out from the tree, and a water gun attack and a flamethrower attack emerged from two other surrounding trees. The attacks managed to hit the two circling Marowak and cause them to lose control of their attacks and forced them to stumble around until they hit a tree.
Then, three strange new Pokémon that Frea, Pidge, and the Raticate had never seen before emerged from out of the trees.
"You're here." Herakurosu smirked. "Just as Prince Pikachu has close allies of his own, as do I." He turned towards the grass Pokémon with the giant leaf on its head, while another one was a small blue alligator-like Pokémon, and the third was a small mouse-like Pokémon with a flame on its back. "Meet Rita the Chikorita, Toto the Waninoko, and Hindo the Hinoarashi. They're from the same city I come from over in the other continent."
"Yeah, family reunion, blah-blah," muttered Commander Victreebell. He turned to the three injured Marowak who lay unconscious by the trees, but then turned to the giant, blubbery, Pokémon, "Snorlax!"
Herakurosu turned towards the giant Snorlax that roared with angry as it slowly stood up. "All right guys, use your attacks!"
"Razor wind!" The Butterfree quickly flew up and started to beat its wings rapidly, creating sharp gusts of winds.
"Whirlwind!" The Pidgey began rapidly flapping its wings, creating a thick whirlwind.
"Razor leaf!" The Chikorita swung its head, and released tons of sharp leafs that head straight towards Snorlax.
"Water gun!" The Waninoko inhaled and jumped up. It released a powerful blast of gushing water that headed straight towards the sleepy Pokémon.
"Flamethrower!" The Hinoarashi's flame started to enlarge and it released a powerful flamethrower attack.
The five attacks headed straight for Snorlax and caused a giant explosion and dust and smoke covered the area.
"Now Raticate!" ordered Herakurosu.
Herakurosu and Raticate darted straight towards the Snorlax, which was sure to be too injured to fight, when suddenly the smoke cleared and the Snorlax was about to body slam them.
Swiftly, the two Pokémon jumped out of the way of the Snorlax, and it (more or less) fell onto the ground.
Suddenly, dead silence filled the air. The hyper beams from the other Nidoqueen and the other Nidoking stopped firing and the Tauros heard stopped stampeding. Suddenly, a bright light shot from the tip of the Hidden Mountain shot up into the sky.
"That beam of light," murmured Herakurosu. "Those strange new Pokémon must have reached that portal to the Evolution Cavern. That light is from the closing of the gate to a holy ground- and the Evolution Cavern is a holy ground."
As the bright light continued to shine, the Snorlax turned towards the distracted Herakurosu and was about to attack, when a strange dark warrior appeared and swiftly slashed passed the Snorlax. But, this slash was different and badly harmed the Snorlax. It hurt so badly, that its eyes started to water and it quickly started to run away.
When the light disappeared, Herakurosu stood right in front of a strange, dark, warrior. "And you are?"
"No need for you to now." It held up its large claws, that twinkled in the light of the sun. "But trust me, I'm not on your side." Then, it appeared to disappear, but it Herakurosu felt a prick in his arm.
He glanced down at his arm, and a large slash mark had appeared. This strange new warrior was so fast that even Herakurosu could see it. And it wasn't on their side, or either of the empires' sides.
Chapter Seven: Back to the Evolution Cavern . . .
[WARNING: This is to all readers. The action stuff more or less ends here. Sorry. It's mostly talk.]
Efi had appeared just as the portal to the Evolution Cavern had closed. It was now that these strange, new, moon Pokémon had entered the cavern, and it was now that Efi was summoned to bring Prince Pikachu to the Evolution Cavern to help the Indigo Pokégods with their newest problem.
Efi and Prince Pikachu reappeared from the Hidden Mountain to the Evolution Cavern.
"What's going on?" growled Prince Pikachu, looking around in confusion.
"You and your friends failed," said Efi, "just as Alakazam suspected."
Prince Pikachu cringed, then growled, "then why did you want us to try to stop the meteor?"
"Well, Alakazam just wanted you to stop the Pokénib, the Pokénite, and brand-new dark warriors from getting to the portal," replied Efi. "Now, that they're here, they'll want something and Alakazam will want a common Pokémon here as a representative."
"Common Pokémon?" growled Prince Pikachu. He rolled his eyes as he glanced around the frozen wasteland. They were in the same protective bubble as the last time Prince Pikachu was here, but they remained on the ground instead of in the air where the Pokégods were.
Suddenly, in the empty space in front of the Indigo Pokégods, a hole in space opened up and revealed a giant bubble holding what appeared to be the pre-evolved forms of Wigglytuff and Clefable, along with a Nidoqueen and a Nidoking- with two pre-evolved form of the two ground Pokémon.
"There are no need for these bubbles," murmured Alakazam as he closed his eyes. "My psychic abilities have managed to shield the powers of the Evolution Cavern from meager Pokémon like yourself and the Pikachu down there."
Alakazam, Golem, Gengar, and Machamp lowered themselves from the air and landed next to Efi and Prince Pikachu. The bubble containing the moon Pokémon lowered them to the ground and popped as soon as it touched the ground. Prince Pikachu and Efi's bubble additionally popped.
"So, you are the legendary moon Pokémon from Earth's moon we've heard so much about," sneered Golem. "What do you want? And who are you?"
The pre-evolved Wigglytuff and Clefable walked forward and they replied, "we are the Pokémon in charge here!"
"I am the warrior Clefairy," said the pre-evolved Clefable, taking a bow.
"And I am the lord of the moon Pokémon, Jigglypuff," said the small balloon Pokémon.
The Indigo Pokégods all looked at Clefable and Jigglypuff and started cracking up. "You are the Pokémon that rule that moon?"
Chapter Eight: The Powers from the Moon
"So, you think that's real funny?" asked Jigglypuff, as it puffed up with angry. "You think that you and your pathetic Pokégods can destroy the moon Pokémon." She glanced at Clefairy and nodded. "Do it."
Clefairy started waving her fingers back and forth and back and forth until they started to glow and a giant explosion from the top of the cave occurred and a bunch of rocks started falling on the Pokégods heads.
"You think we're powerless? Ha!" Jigglypuff inhaled and started to sing the same soothing song Wigglytuff that put Raichuna, Bulbie, Squirt, and Chara to sleep. Prince Pikachu rapidly covered its eyes, but Efi didn't and it slowly fell asleep. But, the Pokégods were so large that the powers of Jigglypuff weren't affective.
"So, you think we're powerless now?" growled Clefairy. "Well, just wait till all of our Pokémon attack your continent and destroy it." Clefairy chuckled. "We already know of your problems. The three Empires, the Creator Pokégods, the Mew, and even your little Warrior Pokémon."
"Warrior Pokémon?" repeated Prince Pikachu.
Jigglypuff turned her attention towards Prince Pikachu and chuckled. "Aw, yes, that's what you're being called these days. The warriors from New Village, protected by the powers of the Pokégod of Light."
It hadn't occurred to Prince Pikachu yet, or he had simply thought of it as a mistake, but the Pikachu hadn't noticed the fact that Jigglypuff had said "three empires" instead of two.
"And who can forget your newest worries, our own." Jigglypuff sighed. "On the moon, we had Pokégods of our own. We had Protector Pokégods, legendary canines, which would protect our Pokégods, we had Creator Pokégods, and we even had our own group of Mew, known as Serebii . . ."
"And here's some bad news," said Clefairy. "Several of the Creator Pokégods, along with the three Protector Pokégods, are here on your planet." Clefairy chuckled as he turned away. "And a group of Serebii are here too . . ."
"So, what should we fear?" growled Prince Pikachu. "There are millions of Pokémon on this planet, and nineteen Pokégods here on our planet, what's so special about you Pokémon?"
"Well," sneered Clefairy, turning away from Prince Pikachu, "there's something important that we discovered when we came here: It appears that in this world, our powers are slightly altered."
"For example," said Jigglypuff, "here, my powers to sing have been altered to cause Pokémon to fall to sleep."
Prince Pikachu nodded. "And you think that Serebii, your Creator and Protector Pokégods will cause chaos throughout our planet. And, probably destroy it like yours?"
"Your rather smart for an electric rat," replied Clefairy.
Jigglypuff cleared his throat and began its conclusion. "All you have to do turn me, the representative of these new Pokémon, and the chaos around my Hidden Mountain will end."
"Your mountain!" shouted Prince Pikachu from the ground. "That mountain belongs to all of us! Why should it be yours!"
"Our meteor, which we took to escape from the moon, crashed into it," replied the Nidoking guard. "Thus, it becomes ours."
"Fine," replied Alakazam, creating a sound proof light screen bubble around Prince Pikachu, "you, Jigglypuff, can join the Indigo Pokégods."
"Excellent," said Jigglypuff. "As a gift for you, we shall give our gifts from the moon to you: the moonstone, the magical singing technique, and the powers of the metronome."
"And all you have to do is give Jigglypuff the mysterious food that bears the power to create a Pokégod," said Clefairy.
Alakazam closed his eyes, as several light screen bubbles surrounded all the Pokémon, except for Jigglypuff. "This only works if you are being powered by the Evolution Cavern." Alakazam held out his hand to reveal a small, rock-like food.
Prince Pikachu squinted and replied, "looks and smells like candy." He rolled his eyes. "Whoa, I guess that candy be me real rare, eh?"
But, no one seemed to be listening to the meager little Pokémon, as Alakazam handed the small Jigglypuff, what others would soon refer to as "rare candy." This food had the power to turn regular Pokémon into Pokégods, if they were in a holy realm, such as the Celestial Sky, or in a realm releasing powerful energy, like the Evolution Cavern.
Jigglypuff bit into the food and slowly started to grow and grow. It seemed to be inflating more and more, as strange dark brown designs appeared to be form all around Jigglypuff. Slowly, the simple little Jigglypuff became the Pokégod of the Moon.
And there was yet another powerful tyrant among these Indigo Pokégods.
Chapter Nine: Aftermath
"Razor leaf!"
"Water gun!"
"Ember attack!"
"Tuff!" cried Wigglytuff, as Bulbie, Squirt, and Chara all attacked the Pokémon from the moon.
"Thunder!"
"Fable," mumbled Clefable, as Raichuna released a powerful blast of electricity, frying the fairy Pokémon.
"Mega punch!"
"Hyper fang!"
Herakurosu and the Raticate double teamed a Nidoking and Nidoqueen that was trying to attack them. Luckily, they weren't too powerful.
"Razor wind!"
"Whirlwind!"
Frea and Pidge stopped several pre-evolved Nidoking and Nidoqueen Pokémon known as Nidoran by using their powerful wings to slow them down.
After regaining consciousness, the Warrior Pokémon caught up in the cave chased after the Wigglytuff and Clefable that had attacked them outside of the cave.
As all the Pokémon from New Village continued attacking, along with Herakurosu, Bulbie hesitated several times in the battle. It was almost as if something was watching him. It was the same feeling Bulbie had gotten when he was captured by the troops of the empire.
Bulbie glanced around until . . . "YOU!" Bulbie's vines shot into a tree and they wrapped around something. The Bulbasaur drew out the entangled Pokémon from the tree, to reveal a small, green, fairy-like Pokémon. "You! You're one of those moon Pokémon, aren't you!"
"Um, yes, I am," said the small Pokémon slowly. "I am Serebii. I wish to help you, since you are a grass Pokémon from this planet- like I am a grass Pokémon the moon."
"So why are you here?" growled Bulbie.
"To help your friends," answered the Pokémon known as Serebii. It pointed towards the mountain and replied, "look."
Bulbie turned around just in time to see a giant boulder come hurling down from the mountain and plummet straight towards Frea, Pidge, and Squirt. Before Bulbie could even say a word, the giant boulder crashed right down into the three Pokémon.
"NO!" cried Bulbie.
The Serebii, who had been released when Bulbie had seen what was happening, circled around Bulbie and landed in front of the Pokémon. "Here, on your planet, my powers are stronger. Additionally . . . I have new abilities." Serebii closed its eyes and suddenly, everything around them froze, except for Bulbie and the Serebii. Slowly, the scenery around them at first start to slowly move backwards in time. The giant rock moved off of the Pokémon and back into position. Suddenly, time returned to normal and Bulbie knew what to do.
"Watch out!" Bulbie swiveled around and its vines shot out towards the giant falling rock and they crackled the rock multiple times until they were all small rocks. Luckily Bulbie's warning got Frea, Squirt, and Pidge out of the way of any debris. Bulbie turned around to ask the Serebii what had happened, but it had already disappeared.
"Pokémon!" Suddenly, the image of Golem appeared hovering over the Hidden Mountain. "All Pokémon, stand down."
Frea, Herakurosu, Commander Victreebell, and all the other Pokémon around the area glanced up at the image of the Pokégod.
"All Pokémon who are not here to serve their praise to the new Pokégod," said Golem, hesitating at these next words, "Jigglypuff, are ordered to leave. If you do not depart now, a serious tremor will be released, caused through my powers. You must leave the Hidden- . . . you must leave the Mt. Moon immediately."
"Arg!" Prince Pikachu reappeared from a teleport attack, and Efi appeared for a split second as it teleported back to the Evolution Cavern.
"What happened?" asked Herakurosu, as he and the others approached Prince Pikachu.
"It's a long story," answered Prince Pikachu, "which I'll tell you about when we return to New Village." He turned to Commander Victreebell and Commander Lickitung. "I suggest you leave to. Unless you want to face Golem, our Pokégod of Earth."
The two commanders of the Pokénite Empire sighed and glanced at each other. "Let's go!" They quickly fled from the area.

"Well?" asked Meowtho, who was peering out from his base as Commander Ekans approached him.
"We have been successful in locating Articuno," answered the commander.
"Good," said Meowtho. "Ready our flying troops. We're heading out in the morning."
