CHAPTER 10: The Escape

The Rocket, Butch, and Ho-Oh had just left the throne. Or, well, tried. They didn't know the word of how to get down to earth again, so they flew really low to the ground where the two had found a gate, sealed shut. A sign said, "Usnt Lea Mon Lefenge" It was some sort of Heaven language, Butch thought. Ho-Oh understood it, though. "Throne of Legendary Mon Un-Exit-able." Ho-Oh let out a cry of despair.
"Tear it down, Boy! Ho-Oh, tear it down!" Butch said. Ho-Oh didn't like being called "boy," so he reared up and pecked at Butch, who fell off Ho-Oh's back. "HEY!" he said, then Ho-Oh let loose it's talons, and scratched and pecked at the door. Then Butch said, "I want to give you an award. Rumor has it, Giovanni's Persian had a good-luck charm that made it win. It's a collar. Maybe it will make you tough too. Here, Giovanni gave it to me, and I give it to you." Man I hate being nice! That collar is worth something! Butch then put a large gold "R" medallion around Ho-Oh's neck. Ho-Oh was proud.
Something caught Butch's eye. It was rocks! If the door wouldn't come down, then the rocks would! Charazards burn and melt rocks all the time! "Ho-Oh, the rocks! Sacred Fire!" The Rocket yelled. Ho-Oh bent it's head back, twisted it, and frothed out fire-acid and it then turned to flames. It hit the rocks and they began to melt away, and then there was a path leading to earth. The Rockets were going to make it!
