Digimon and all related characters copyrighted by Bandai, Saban, Fox, and TV Tokyo. I made up Smiling Joe Technique, though. Actually, to be honest, the Smiling Joe Technique character appeared to me in a dream. Speaking of which, Seth Turtle, I'll try to put more detail into this fic than I did into "Kooky Bully", but I might not succeed, because detail is my biggest weakness. With that said, on with the story.
***
Everyone got ready to battle Smiling Joe Technique, even Team Rocket.
"We'll show you that you can't push us around and get away with it!" Palmon said.
"It's time to Digi-volve!" Tai said.
The Digidestined held out their Digivices and crests.
"Agumon warp-digivolve to...WarGreymon!"
"Gabumon warp-digivolve to...MetalGarurumon!"
"Wargreymon! MetalGarurumon! DNA Digivolve to...Omnimon!" "Biyomon digi-volve to...Birdramon! Birdramon digi-volve to...Garudamon!"
"Tentomon digi-volve to...Kabuterimon! Kabuterimon digi-volve to...MegaKabuterimon!"
"Palmon digi-volve to...Togemon! Togemon digi-volve to...Lilimon!"
"Gomamon digi-volve to...Ikkakumon! Ikkakumon digi-volve to...Zudomon!"
"Patamon digi-volve to...Angemon!"
"Armadillomon digi-volve to...Ankylomon!"
"Ankylomon! Angemon! DNA Digi-volve to...Shakkoumon!"
"Veemon digi-volve to...Exveemon!"
"Wormmon digi-volve to...Stingmon!"
"Exveemon! Stingmon! DNA Digi-volve to...Paildramon!"
"Paildramon Mega-Digi-volve to...Imperialdramon!"
"Hawkmon digi-volve to...Aquilamon!"
"Aquilamon! Gatomon! DNA digi-volve to...Silphymon!"
Tracey made some sketches of the Digimon he hadn't seen last time.
Smiling Joe Technique got into a fighting stance.
"I'll handle this joker!" Meowth said, leaping at Smiling Joe Technique.
"Karate Chop," Smiling Joe Technique said, repeatedly karate-chopping Meowth, knocking him backward.
"Cyndaquil, try that trick you used on Bugsy's Scyther!" Ash told his Cyndaquil.
Cyndaquil jumped into the air, pointed its body straight down, spun rapidly, and fired its Flamethrower at the same time, so that it created a fire tornado that was heading straight downwards at Smiling Joe Technique.
"River of Power," Smiling Joe Technique said, using MetalSeadramon's technique to fire a laser beam that tore through the fire and hit Cyndaquil, knocking it back towards the ground.
"James, let's double-team 'em!" Jessie said.
"Roger!" James said.
"Arbok, Wrap attack!" Jessie said.
Arbok leaped at Smiling Joe Technique and wrapped itself around it.
"Now Weezing, Tackle it senseless!" James commanded.
While Smiling Joe Technique was trapped by the Wrap, Weezing tackled into its head repeatedly.
"Tempest Wing," Smiling Joe Technique said, using Halsemon's technique to turn into a tornado, throwing Arbok and Weezing away.
Then, Omnimon grabbed Smiling Joe Technique from behind.
"Now, somebody attack it!" Omnimon said.
"Static Force!" Silphymon said, firing a static energy ball at Smiling Joe Technique.
"Seismic Toss," Smiling Joe Technique said, grabbing Omnimon and throwing him into the Static Force.
"Bulbasaur, we need a Solarbeam!" Ash said.
Bulbasaur charged up a Solarbeam and fired it at Smiling Joe Technique.
"Terra Destroyer!" Smiling Joe Technique said, using Blackwargreymon's technique to fire an energy ball that tore through the Solar Beam and hit Bulbasaur.
Chikorita fired some Razor Leaves at Smiling Joe Technique, but Smiling Joe Technique said, "Metal Wolf Claw."
Smiling Joe Technique used MetalGarurumon's technique to freeze the leaves.
"Aurora Beam," Smiling Joe Technique said, firing an Aurora Beam and knocking Chikorita back.
"Positron Laser!" Imperialdramon said, firing its attack at Smiling Joe Technique.
"Night Shade," Smiling Joe Technique said, firing a black energy beam, which hit the laser and created an explosion knocking Imperialdramon to the ground.
Shakkoumon and Geodude both grabbed Smiling Joe Technique at once.
"Submission," Smiling Joe Technique said, spinning around rapidly. Geodude and Shakkoumon got so dizzy that they fell off.
"Vulcan's Hammer!" Zudomon said.
"Flower Cannon!" Lilimon said.
Both Digimon fired their attacks.
"Tail Blade," Smiling Joe Technique said, firing a tail blade, knocking Lilimon and Zudomon down.
"Wing Blade!" Garudamon said, firing her attack.
"Horn Buster!" MegaKabuterimon said, firing his attack.
"Rollout," Smiling Joe Technique said, curling into a ball and rolling at Garudamon and MegaKabuterimon. He tore right through the attacks and slammed into them both, knocking them both down.
"Flower Cannon!" Lilimon said, firing her attack.
"Vulcan's Hammer!" Zudomon said, firing his attack.
"Pin Missile," Smiling Joe Technique said, cancelling out Lilimon and Zudomon's attack with a bunch of Pin Missiles.
"Victreebel, Razor Leaf attack!" James said.
Victreebel did a little dance and shot some leaves at Smiling Joe Technique.
"Howling Blaster," Smiling Joe Technique said, using Garurumon's attack to destroy the leaves.
"Totodile, Water Gun attack!" Ash shouted.
"Staryu, Poliwhirl, use your Water Gun attacks too!" Misty said.
"Marill, use your Water Gun attack as well!" Tracey cried out.
The Water Pokemon used their Water Gun attacks.
"Agility," Smiling Joe Technique said, speeding itself up and dodging the water.
It then dashed towards Totodile.
"Fury Cutter," it said, repeatedly using power-doubling slashes at Totodile.
But Totodile just merrily danced out of the way of each cut, never losing the smile on its face.
Smiling Joe Technique sped up its cuts, but Totodile just kept dancing out of the way and laughing.
Ash cheered.
"All right, Totodile's too fast for it!" Ash said.
"Now's our chance, everyone!" Davis said. "Let's have everyone charge at it at once! That should do the trick!"
All the Pokemon (except Wobbuffet, who couldn't initiate attacks) and Digimon charged at Smiling Joe Technique at once. They were rushing at Smiling Joe Technique really quickly, and for a moment it looked as though they'd succeed.
"Outrage," Smiling Joe Technique said, glowing. It then metaphorically went to town on everyone. It rushed at them and just kept punching and kicking like there was no tomorrow, not letting up and not giving anyone a chance to attack.
Eventually everyone went down.
"Oh man, I didn't know Smiling Joe Technique could do things like that!" Cody exclaimed.
"Surrender your autographs, or suffer the consequences," Smiling Joe Technique said.
"Never!" Omnimon said.
"Then perish. Hyper Beam," Smiling Joe Technique said. It began charging up a Hyper Beam, ready to unleash it on the fallen Pokemon and Digimon.
But there was one Pokemon who had not fallen.
Jessie sighed.
"All right, Wobbuffet, go ahead and use Counter attack, if you can," Jessie said, resigned.
Wobbuffet stepped in front of Smiling Joe Technique and waited.
Smiling Joe Technique finally unleashed the Hyper Beam, and Wobbuffet used its Counter. Amazingly, it actually managed to counter the Hyper Beam, sending it back at Smiling Joe Technique.
Smiling Joe Technique couldn't dodge in time; it was so surprised. There was an explosion, and for a moment no one knew for sure if Smiling Joe Technique had survived...
When the smoke cleared, Smiling Joe Technique was still functional.
Barely.
It was sparking all over its body, and its body was tattered. It was amazing Smiling Joe Technique hadn't run out of power.
Cody walked over to the fallen Smiling Joe Technique.
"You see, you could have gotten our autographs easily if you'd just asked politely. But no, you had to use force," Cody reprimanded.
Somewhere, the robot's malfunction was still operating. Smiling Joe Technique decided that it wasn't going to go down alone.
It suddenly grabbed Cody's foot.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Cody said.
"Explosion," Smiling Joe Technique said, glowing white and exploding.
The force of the most powerful attack in Pokemon history knocked everyone back a long way.
They were waiting for the smoke to clear, knowing that there was no way Cody could have survived the blast...
