Before the next part begins, I want to explain something. In the TV show, there is a new Crest, Kindness. Not in here. The Crest of Kindness is the Crest of Time, only it is brown instead of pink purple. Betamon still digivolves to Elecmon, not Seadramon (that was so stupid, by the way), so don't Email me with story/TV show discrepancies. (Yes, that is spelled right.) Bye!
Pokémon Adventure!
Part 6
By Pikamew Triggara
Ch. 40
Raimey
We started the battle. It was mostly just instinctive, as all the Team Rocket drones had were thousands of Koffing, Weezing, Ekans, Arbok, Nidoran of both genders, Nidorina/o, Nidoking/queen. This made Pikachu, Jolteon, Pikaboo, and Magnemite slightly less effective, but that was a tradeoff for Blastoise, Wartortle, Marril, Gyarados, Vaporeon, and Seel's extra efficiency. Raidramon's attacks were also useful, because of their part Ice type and their Paralysis factor.
We mostly started with debilitating moves in the extreme, Butterfrell flying over the cloud with Sleep Powder and Stun Spore, and the Electrics using Thunderwave extensively, then using wide range attacks like Thunderbolt and Supreme Thunder. Jolteon actually jumped to a pinnacle of the temple and started firing Thunderclap Zaps, followed by the other Eons with Celestial Fire Surround and Bubble Blast.
I kept probing for the Crests, and eventually found Love.
"Jezelle! This is Raimey, you remember, with the Patamon! Listen, you have to get up here with Jacques and Jewel! Trust me, this isn't a trap. Just get up here." I told her. She must have heard me, because a large red column of light and a red explosion of sparkles shot up.
A few seconds later, the light splintered into strands of red energy. Garudamon flew out from behind the light with Jezelle, Jewel, Jacques, Gomamon, and Gatomon in her claw-hands. She landed on the temple, and dedigivolved, sending them tumbling to the platform.
"What do you want?" Jezelle sneered.
"Go in there. Take your individual DigiEggs and say Digi Armor Energize. Go!"
They went in, rather suspiciously. .
"DIGI ARMOR ENERGIZE!" three voices cried.
"Biyomon, Armor Digivolve tooo..."
Biyomon flew out of the Temple, and rings of pink light rose in a column around her, and she was contained in another prism of light. The digivolution itself was very similar to Pegasusmon's, except the end result was a brown, hawk-like Digimon with silver armor on his head with the Love symbol in purple. He had small tufts of white fluff around his ear area. His beak was more like a mouth. His wings were silver.
"Halsemon: The Wings of Love." A pink spiral floated behind him.
"Gomamon, Armor Digivolve tooo..."
He was surrounded by rings of sea foam. He was completely hidden by water, and out came a large, swordfish-like Digimon with a transparent hatch on the top of his head.
"Submarimon: The Guardian of the Sea."
"Gatomon, Armor Digivolve tooo..." Rings of pink light hid her. She vanished, and her wings were revealed before her face, as well.
Her body was that of an enlarged Gatomon, with the exact same tail. Her head and fore paws, however, were different.
Her paws had metal 'shoes' that looked like hooves. Her head was that of a Sphinx statue. She posed in midair, with multicolored balls swirling around her.
"Nefertimon: The Angel of Light."
"Halsemon: the Armor Winged Digimon. His Tempest Wing creates a mini tornado that blasts through obstacles, and Eagle Eye is even more powerful.
"Submarimon: the Submarine Fish Digimon. He can fly and swim, and shoot Oxygen Torpedoes to disorient and sicken his foe. Submarine Attack also hurts.
"Nefertimon: the Egyptian Cat Digimon. Her Queen's Paw can be shot rapidly from her hoof/paws or a large Rosetta Stone can be created with her collar. She also has an attack called Cat's Eye Beam, which is a powerful blow. When battling alongside Pegasusmon, they can make a dual technique called Golden Noose that incapacitates the target."
Halsemon, Submarimon, and Nefertimon could all fly, and Jewel, Jacque, and Jezelle were riding them, Jacques inside the hatch on Submarimon.
Nefertimon flew up to Pegasusmon, and they started in formation.
"Golden Noose!" they shouted together. They flew, crossing paths at a large clump of Koffing and Weezing. Then tied them up with three glowing, golden ropes. Flareon then shot a Flamethrower at the clump, causing an Explosion of massive proportions that wiped out a goodly sized circle.
"Tempest Wing!" Halsemon cried, forming into a blueish tornado that shot through the Poison types, doing heavy damage.
"Oxygen Torpedo!" Submarimon called, slots on his back opening and blurs flying out, confusing a large group of Nidoran Male.
"Rosetta Stone!" Nefertimon voiced. Her collar glowed pink, and a beam of energy shot from the back of her neck. A large stone shot from it, and smaller ones fired from her hooves.
Jolteon's electrical energy failed, so instead of pelting them with Thunderclap Zap, he started with Swift while its body regained the electrical energy.
"Yeah! Go, Jolteon!" Cory yelled. He then narrowly missed being hit by flying Sludge.
"Vaporeon! Ice Beam that Weezing!" Cory shouted. Vaporeon, who was, like the other Eons, perched on a pinnacle, ceased Aurora Beaming one Ekans who would not give up, and shot a frosty ray of blue lightning-like energy at Koffing before resuming trying to freeze Ekans's mouth shut before it could Acid or Poison Sting Raimey's Bulbasaur, which was Razor Leafing everywhere, seriously cramping TR's style.
"Rock Cracking!" Digmon yelled. He put his drills to the ground, forcing a fissure to form. Ekans and Nidoran were KO'd by the hundred.
"All right, Eons! Time for the Tri-Element Shower!" Cory cried. Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon all howled, and charged up Ice Beam, Surf, Flamethrower, and Thunderbolt. The power merged into one, large, pulsating mass high above our heads.
"VA!"
The energy enlarged, glowing brightly blue.
"JOLT!"
It increased in size again, glowing intense yellow.
"FLARE!"
The energy exploded, and, with a red flash, rained down upon the Poison types. Their ranks were decimated.
"Now! All out attack!"
"Fire Rocket!"
"Blue Thunder!"
"Tempest Wing!"
"Gold Rush!"
"Two Stars!"
"Oxygen Torpedo!"
"Star Shower!"
"Rosetta Stone!"
All of Eric's Water types gathered around him, merging their power with his.
"Blue Paladin Deep Submerge!"
Jason's Pikachu, my Pikaboo and Cory's Jolteon grouped with him, giving him their strength.
"Yellow Paladin Lightning Beam!"
Then, a green spark fell from the heavens. It became a green jewel that I caught.
"Green Star Power!"
I saw only green energy that lifted to reveal me as the Green Paladin.
"Green Paladin Elmwood Arrow!" I yelled, Bulbasaur leaning on me.
All eleven attacks merged into one, giant, bolt of energy that smashed all the Poison types. They were defeated, and Team Rocket ran, bolts of red recall energy following their retreat.
"We won!" I shouted. All the Digimon, Pokémon, the Digi Destined Rockets and all of us yelled and celebrated, joined by the citizens of Cerulean.
Then, Ami showed up.
"Am I late?"
"EONS!" Cory screamed. Ami was hit by a tri Hyper Beam.
"Okay...I guess I was..." she gasped. "But I did leave a surprise for TR!"
Then, in the distance, we heard a roar.
"What was that?" Cory asked, confused.
"I left Starmie there, with a Rain Dance (AN: Pray for Rain) in effect. She should be Thundering the TR's quite nicely now, if Rain Dance hasn't faded." She grinned evilly.
"Heh. Well, we should leave nowAAAAH!"
The temple had just collapsed, leaving us on the ground, bewildered, and Azure Street as it was. The Digimon fell, dedigivolving on the return trip.
"I am NOT teleporting us. Nope. No way, uh uh. Forget it." Eric stated firmly. He then fainted, his normal clothes replacing the Paladin robes. Jason and I reverted as well, with me fainting along the way.
They took us to the Center, but I woke up feeling horrible ten seconds later.
Ch. 41
Patamon
A black haired woman walked in, and I gasped. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. And she was human, too!
"Is Eric here?" she asked. Luke nodded, pointing towards the exhaustion chamber Joy had just come out of. She marched in, and closed the door, black hair trailing gracefully, almost as if billowing on a breeze, except there wasn't any wind.
She stayed in there for several minutes. We didn't hear anything, but the chamber was soundproof anyway. Then, some activity registered on the monitor.
I pressed an ear to the wall, and felt slight vibration, signifying speech, or sound. But there wasn't much.
Then, a beep startled me. Nurse Joy rushed to Raimey's monitor, and looked at us.
"He isn't in very good shape. Somehow, someone is draining his psychic power. Without it, he'll die."
The effect of this statement on me was horrifying. I dropped to the ground, dead unconscious.
Nurse Joy brought some food, and got me revived. I flew to Raimey's chamber, and Nurse Joy reluctantly let me in.
"Patamon..." he gasped. He was looking horrible. Pale, and he could barely speak.
"Patamon, if I die..." He coughed, a horrible, racking sound that sent me into his arms, crying.
"If I die...do you?"
"No...but I won't ever be sane. I've met one Digimon whose bond died, and he didn't know I existed. The funny thing was, he was stuck in an Ultimate form. He was a Megakabuterimon. If you die, I'll always be a Rookie. Unless..."
"Unless what? I don't want..." He coughed again. "I don't want you to lose any of your capabilities. What must I do?"
"Well, this is really the only way to keep you alive." I sighed. "Every single Crest Bearer can make a wish on his/her Crest. But, it has a penalty. To prevent people from wishing for material things, the wisher is placed under a spell of one hundred year sleep. He/she will only wake up on the one hundredth anniversary of the day he wished.."
"How do I do it?" he asked. He coughed again.
"Well...take out your Crest." He obeyed. "Now, imagine your wish strongly in your mind. Each of the other Crest Bearers of Time will sense this, but that doesn't matter. Just keep that wish in mind." He followed my directions, and began to glow bright yellow. I could tell when the other Crest Bearers entered his mind.
:Raimey, you can do it!: Luke thought at him.
:We believe in you!: That was Cory.
:I don't know why I'm saying this, but good luck.: Jezelle sighed, in a mental way.
:Come on, Raimey!: Jason encouraged. As each thought pushed Raimey on, a differently colored beam of light, matching that of the Crest, merged with the bright yellow ball of light.
:Do it! Don't hold back!: Eric thought fervently. Raimey took extra encouragement from this, as Eric was in similar shape as him.
:I'm like Jezelle: Why I encourage you, don't ask me. Just do it.: Jacques sent.
:And it's me, Jewel. Look, we believe in you. But you have to believe in yourself. You know, Hope. Otherwise, your wish will mean nothing.:
This last bit of power and encouragement was what triggered the wish. We all felt it in a loud, mental way. I was overwhelmed, but still stuck close to him.
"I wish Patamon and the Crest of Hope would find new bearers, so Patamon won't die!"
There was another flash of yellow light, and Raimey was gone, replaced by his Crest and a crystal with a very tiny version of his body in it. Also, the Forest Emerald was there. I landed on the bed, sobbing.
Everyone burst in, including the woman, Jewel, Jacques, and Jezelle. They crowded around the bed. Eric picked me up.
Jason very gently took the crystals and Crest. "It appears that the crystal is where Raimey is being held for one hundred years."
Then, a blond girl walked into the Center, and the Crest disappeared.
"AAAAH!"
We ran outside, Eric a bit more carefully, and saw that the girl was in a column of yellow light. Then, the Crest of Hope appeared in her hands, with one major difference. The sun shape near the top, which was supposed to be yellow, was blue!
I flew to her, and landed on her shoulder. "I'm Patamon. I'm your new Digimon." I told her. She whimpered a little. Then, the Crest of Hope transformed into the D-Terminal G. The green D3 also appeared in her hands.
"Just attach the D3 somewhere, and put the D-Terminal in your bag. We'll explain all of this to you." I explained.
She reluctantly obeyed, placing the D3 on her purse strap, and we headed towards on of the tables in the center of the Center.
"Okay. First, we'll explain to you what just happened, after you give us your name." Eric said.
"My name is Erin." she whispered. The Digimon jumped on the bench with their bonds, and she uttered a small shriek.
"Don't worry. These Digimon won't attack you." Jewel said soothingly. Erin looked at her, and backed up.
"You're in Team Rocket!" she said.
"Not anymore. We revolted awhile ago." Jacques said.
"Umm...okay, just tell me."
"Right. I'm Eric, my Digimon is Palmon. That's Luke, his Digimon is Agumon. Cory is sitting by you, his Digimon is Gabumon. After that, Jezelle is the one with green hair, and she has Biyomon. Jacques has that yellow hair, and has Gomamon. Jewel, whom you've conversed with, has blue hair and Gato/Salamon. Which is it now, by the way?"
"I prefer being Gatomon, as I have more attacking power and can quickly digivolve to ultimate." Gatomon answered.
"Okay. Jason is the short one with brown hair, and that's Tentomon."
"Nice to make your acquaintance!" Tentomon said formally, bowing. He then fell over.
Erin giggled.
"I'm Patamon, your new Digimon!" I reiterated. She nodded.
"My name is Erin, as you know. I come from Blanco City, and I had participated in the tournament, but lost my first battle. I mostly train Grass types. I just finished defeating Ami and came in when that voice started talking to me and I felt like I was losing my mind.
"Oh, so what Badges do you have?" Jason asked.
"Boulder, Lunar, Power, Cascade, Phantom, and Glacier."
"Cool. We don't have to backtrack." Cory said with relief.
"Okay, so...what are Digimon?"
Everyone fell over.
Eric explained it all. "Digimon are Digital Monsters. They are very similar to Pokémon, except that they can't be caught. They bond with humans, mainly when they are In Training, but ours were Rookies.
"They are mostly more powerful than Pokémon, as a Patamon could, theoretically, take on a Legendary Bird and win, if he had Digivice backup. You remember that green thing?"
"Uh...yeah."
"That's what we call a Digivice. That particular model is a D3. It allows Patamon to either digivolve to Angemon when you are in extreme danger, or to Armor Digivolve to Pegasusmon for minor things. We've had to call on Angemon's power way too much, so try not to use the regular digivolution.
"With that D-Terminal, which stores the Crest of Hope and the DigiEgg of Hope, you can send us E-mails, access Cross-Bound, and use it as a sort of Digidex."
"Oh. How do I get Patamon to digivolve?"
"He'll digivolve by himself if he REALLY needs to, but you can cause an Armor Digivolve by saying 'Digi Armor Energize'." Cory explained.
"By the way, we aren't going to be traveling with you." Jewel interjected. "We want to start our own journey. We'll most likely see you again, but we aren't about to go around in public with you."
"I didn't really expect you to come." Eric said. With that, the ex-TR's took their leave.
"What about you, if you don't mind my asking." Erin inquired. The black haired lady looked up.
"My name is Selene. I come from Saffron, and I'm Eric's aunt." she told us. "My mother is Sabrina, which is where Eric gets his unusually strong psychic powers. When she heard of the temple rising, my mother told me to get to Cerulean.
"I got here too late, however. I restored Eric's psychic power, but I didn't realize about the other boy till it was too late. If you want, I'll place the crystal in Saffron Gym, which is about the safest place it could be."
"Okay. Here, take it." Jason said, handing Raimey's sleep crystal over. She nodded, and vanished.
"Ummm...I don't know how to go about this, but we need a new Green Paladin. Erin, hold this emerald."
She took it, and immediately it glowed bright green.
"This should work." she said. She seemed more...confident now. The emerald disappeared. "Hey, do any of you have a Saber?" She pulled out a Pokéball. "My Hoppip has one."
"Hoppip? What does Dexter have to say..."
"Hoppip: the Floating Puffball. Grass/Flying type. Hoppip is one of two opposite Pokémon. The other is Chinchou. Hoppip is only weak against Ice, though Ice is doubled."
"Wow. Um, I have a Saber, but no one else does." Eric said.
"Let's see! Hoppip, Grass Saber!"
"Staryu, Water Saber!"
We saw that Hoppip was a little pink thing with two leafs that spun to keep it up, and then the Saber was a short, forest colored (green and brown, cleverly blended, with little splotches of gold) dagger. It had carvings of leaves and an ebony handle. Where the blade joined the handle there was a wreath of leaves.
"Nice dagger. What's it called? Mine's the Throwing Starfish."
"It's called the Razorwood. In case you didn't notice, the blade is of wood as well as the handle."
"Nice." I commented.
"Well, it IS a Saber. Don't you know Saber's were originally crafted thousands of years ago? Here, I'll explain the story."
Origin of the Sabers.
Erin
Long ago, there was a master craftsman named Will Windam. He was one of the greatest smiths of all time, second only to the Pokéball smith, Kurt. He had an inspiration one night, to create elemental weapons. He worked for many years, and had to use some very odd items, but he eventually finished.
The Grass Saber, shaped like a small wreath of leaves, was made first. He had to melt down thousands of emeralds, and traded them for one item, the Shiny Leaf. He had to have this elemental material.
The Fire Saber is shaped as a small red bow, and required a Shiny Ember.
The Ground Saber was much harder, and took three years. He had to collect tons of dirt and melt it all to glass, forming the small sword like Saber.
The Poison Saber was the easiest. All he had to do to form the small, purplish bee Saber was add a dab of deadly venom to a bit of metal.
The Electric, or as some say, Thunder Saber was with some Shiny Sand and a very small spark that melted it into a strange four shape.
Water was very simple, just a matter of inundating a Shiny Dew and frosting it slightly to create the harp shape.
Rock required a boulder from the Precious Cave (Note: this is Mt. Silver/Gold) which had the raw material in the smallest atoms.
And so on, gathering all the legendary materials, from a feather from a very rare Articuno to a simple fluff of a cloud, he created the eighteen Sabers."
Real Life
Patamon
"Eighteen? I thought there were fifteen elements!" Jason exclaimed.
"The two new elements, Dark and Steel, were discovered recently, along with at least one hundred new Pokémon. There is also an element some refer to as 'Spirit', which some scholars believe is simply a branch off of Psychic. There are no Spirit type Pokémon, but there are attacks and a Saber for it. The shape is a small, golden, heart shaped wreath of roses." Erin told him. (Author's Note: Earlier, I believe I mentioned an element named 'Fairy' or 'Magic' or something of the like. That was a mistake. It was supposed to be Spirit. I am exempting it from the story, and all other Pokémon I may have mentioned . Apologies.)
"Oh. Luke, doesn't your Clefairy know a Spirit move?" I asked him.
"Yeah, Love Chain Encircle."
Eric brought out Dexter. "Dexter, what are the Spirit type moves?"
"Crescent Beam Smash: a 50 power attack, 100% accurate. Taught by the Fem Badge, of Seafoam Islands Gym. Meteor Shower: a 70 power, 100% accurate attack. Love Chain Encircle: a 100 power, 89% accurate attack. Wink Chain Sword: 120 power, 75% accurate, taught by the Flat Badge of the newly built Pallet Town Gym. 20% chance of doubling Attack and Special Attack power for the duration of battle."
"Cool."
I landed on a windowsill, and noticed something. "It's snowing!"
Everyone crowded around the window.
"It is!" Tentomon cried. They all rushed outside, me floating resolutely after.
"I hate snow!" I shouted at them. They didn't notice. Sigh.
"Hah, take this, Patamon!" Gabumon called, hurling a snowball at me.
"Boom Bubble!"
The snowball burst apart, and Gabumon was knocked over. Erin was a bit startled.
"I didn't tell you to do that, did I?"
"That's not how it works. I defend you, and you don't tell me what to do. It's a lot easier that way." I told her.
"Oh. Snowball!"
She hit Luke's cheek. He whirled, throwing another back.
"Air Waves!"
The snowball slowed, stopped, and shot back at Luke, smashing his nose.
"You!"
Erin threw another snowball, but Agumon got that one. "Pepper Breath!"
We continued our impromptu snowball fight, most casualties on Luke's side, as I could deflect snowballs instead of just blowing them apart.
A wall of snow suddenly built up and froze, shielding Luke. Eric and Palmon ran behind it.
"I don't think so!" Erin shouted, and the wall vaporized. Eric was left completely unprotected.
"STOP THIS AT ONCE!"
We all jumped and faced the blue-haired defender of Lavender Justice: Officer Jenny.
"What do you think you're doing, huh?" she asked us. Cory sidled up beside me.
"Having a snowball fight?"
"YOU DON'T HAVE SNOWBALL FIGHTS IN LAVENDER!!!!!"
"Excuse us for having fun, miss." Eric said, bowing low. "I didn't realize it was illegal."
"Well, then. Go back in before you catch cold!"
We all dashed into the Center.
"How are you guys taking this so...easily?" Erin asked.
"Uh...I guess I just realize that he isn't dead, so we shouldn't have a funeral, or anything." Eric hazarded. Everyone agreed.
"Oh. Cool." Erin nodded.
"You know, it's almost noon. We should eat." Eric commented. We agreed, and headed out.
"Hey, there's a good looking restaurant!" I pointed out. Casa Cabana, it was entitled.
"Doesn't that mean 'House of Tables'?" Eric asked.
"Yep." Jason concurred. We entered.
"Hmmm...mostly Mexican food. I like Mexican food." Eric muttered.
We ordered various dishes, various inexpensive dishes, and got them rather quickly.
"Ooh, good service!" Erin exclaimed. She bit into her very spicy food, and seconds later was waving her hand at the waiter, gasping.
"Oh, my. I guess I forgot your drinks, didn't I, senorita? What would you like?" the waiter grinned, obviously enjoying her discomfort.
"WATER!"
"Very well, senorita. Un momento, por favor."
He came back a couple minutes later, and by then Erin was red in the face, and her eyes were bulging. She swallowed the water like that, and the waiter poured some more for her from a pitcher. Erin grabbed the pitcher, and glugged it down. Then, she settled down, and took her drink.
"Um...Would you like your check?"
Eric nodded. The waiter gave him the bill, and his eyes bugged.
"$230.00?!?!" he shrieked.
"Yes, drinking water from the pitcher costs, oh, $229.00."
"ACK!"
Eric took Erin's card, and ran it through the proffered credit card machine. I guess she had enough, because the waiter looked satisfied.
"Good." He took the machine.
We left, Eric glaring at Erin every so often. She giggled.
"Well, now that we have all the badges for the areas we've visited, let's head to Saffron!" I suggested.
"Okay, let's go!" Cory said enthusiastically.
Ch. 42
Erin
After picking up our Pokémon, and feeding them, we headed off into the wild blue yonder...er...yellow yonder...anyway. We headed towards Saffron. After a couple hours, Eric fell off a cliff.
"AAAH!"
He floated back up, severely shaken. But his psychic powers failed, and he dropped again.
"Pidgeotto!"
"Bulbasaur!"
My Bulbasaur grabbed Eric, stopping his fall, and Pidgeotto and Eric's Butterfrell helped lift him up. My Bulbasaur wasn't strong enough to lift him by himself.
"Pidgeotto, return."
"Butterfrell, come back."
"You did great, Bulbasaur. Return."
"Hey! Isn't this Butterfree Cliff?" Gabumon asked excitedly. I peered into the distance. "Yep, see the Butterfree?" I pointed to the little shimmery dots that were squeaking, "Bee Free! Bee Free!"
"Almost sounds like 'Be free! Be free!', doesn't it?" Patamon commented.
"I can't hear anything." Eric protested.
"You don't have ears that you can fly with, either, do you?" Patamon shot back. Eric looked properly abashed.
"Uhh...Butterfrell, you don't want to go, do you?" Eric asked. His Butterfrell shook it's head violently.
"Frellel, Frell, Bee frell, bell bell!" it squeaked. Eric looked startled, then took out his Pokédex.
"Pokémon of power do not breed. They, along with Legendary Pokémon, have been proved genderless."
"Eh? That's weird...no wonder there aren't any Articuno babies."
"Oh, well. Look, there's the path." Agumon pointed out. Eric looked at the small trail along the cliff, and gulped.
"Maybe we could fly to solid ground? Gyarados?"
His Gyarados sighed, but flew down. Eric and all his Pokémon, as well as us, fit comfortably on his massive bulk, and Butterfrell flew beside us. Blastoise had to be recalled.
"Well, this is...if not exactly my dream vacation, pretty good!" I said. Gyarados snorted, and surged forward, and dumped us by a dark forest.
"That forest looks spooky." Luke said, shivering a little. We headed in.
Gyarados and Butterfrell immediately decided they didn't like it, and were recalled. Marril was its usual cheerful self, and Staryu didn't and/or couldn't show any emotion, but continued floating along, spinning slowly beside Eric.
"Sen!"
Eric jerked. A small, raccoon like thing dashed across the path, and peered out of a bush.
"Tret?"
"Sentret: a Scout Pokémon. Stands up on its tail to look for danger, and quickly runs to the colony to warn of danger."
Marril flopped around behind Sentret, scaring it out. It used Agility and Double Team to surround Sentret with different images of itself. Staryu used Double Edge, but Sentret dodged and swiped back with Fury Swipes.
Staryu attacked with Swift, which Sentret couldn't dodge, and then sprayed it with Water Gun. Sentret growled, but Staryu simply used Bubble Blast. Some bubbles stuck to Sentret, and slowed it down considerably. Staryu then used Double Edge again, and Eric threw a Pokéball.
It shook, and shook, but eventually stilled, and beeped. Eric picked it up.
"Dexter, what Badges can Sentret use?"
"Power, Cascade, Lunar, Evolution, Phantom, Glacier."
Eric called out Sentret, but the poor thing was beat up badly. Eric pulled out a Super Potion he had bought in Blanco, and sprayed it. Sentret glowed briefly, and balanced itself on its tail.
The tail was what made me think raccoon. It actually was more like a cross between a squirrel and a fox. Its stomach had an odd pattern, a bulls eye, and it had little cute eyes and paws that were more like flaps of skin. Eric touched each Badge to it, and it glowed in various colors. It purred, and twined around Eric's arms. He laughed.
"This thing is so CUTE!" he grinned. Sentret squeaked, and ran off down a path we hadn't seen. We had to jog to keep up.
We emerged on another cliff that Eric didn't manage to topple off of, and saw a field of yellow grass that surrounded a huge city.
"Saffron: the Golden City of Commerce." Eric murmured. Sentret was sitting near a little path, humming contentedly to itself.
"Hyper, aren't we?" Eric asked it. It squeaked, and dashed down the trail. We followed, laughingly.
When we reached the bottom, even Tentomon and Patamon were tired. That thing was the most roundabout, twisting, turning, small patch of grassless area that couldn't even be called a path! Sentret Tackled Eric, and giggled. Eric recalled it, sighing.
By that time, it was dark, so we walked wearily to the nearest hotel, not even bothering to go to the Center in the center of the town. Luke and Cory used their money to book two rooms, and made sure they were on the first floor. Cory and I were in the first room, and Jason, Eric, and Luke took the second. When Patamon peeked in, he saw Eric had fwoomped in the middle of the floor, and hadn't bothered to undress. He beckoned me over, and we laughed together for a moment.
I fell into bed, Cory in the other. We slept immediately.
Next morning, a loud sound jarred me out of bed.
"IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP, NOW NOW NOW! GET UP, SLACKER! THIS ISN'T YOUR BIRTHDAY, IT'S TIME TO GO!!!"
"Okay, okay! Sheesh!" I got up, Patamon trailing after me, shouting at the top of his (formidable, his attack IS his breath, after all) lungs.
"Patamon, I thought you were an easygoing Digimon!" I interrupted, when he paused for breath.
"I was! That was before you slept till three thirty!"
I checked my watch. "Patamon, it's only nine!"
"Don't go telling ME that! Now, MOVE!"
Eric and the others were waiting outside. "Why are you two so early?" I asked.
"When Patamon started yelling fifteen minutes ago, we decided it was time to get up." Cory sighed.
"Fifteen minutes ago? But I only just woke up!"
Eric turned red. "YOU MEAN THAT YOU COULDN'T HEAR PATAMON SCREAMING AT YOU LIKE SOME ARMY GENERAL AND I JUST THOUGHT YOU WERE LATE BECAUSE OF THE FEMALE NEED TO GET PRETTY?!!?!?!?!?!"
"Uhh...yeah?"
"ACK!!!!!!!!!"
Eric marched outside, and I was going to follow him, but Cory stopped me.
"Last time he got this mad, he nearly incinerated Jason and I. Don't go out there."
Gulp. "Okay."
A bright flash of light later, Eric walked in. "Okay, we can leave now."
"You didn't destroy anything, did you?" Jason asked tentatively.
"Nope. Couple clouds don't exist, but they're just water. Let's go! To the Marsh Badge!"
We explored the city, and eventually reached a large, purple, (AN: In the anime, for some reason the Saffron Gym is purple, and purple is the opposite of yellow. Weird.) strange looking Gym. We entered.
"So, you vant to see the great Hayley, do you?" a man with a thick accent asked us. He had intercepted us as we entered.
"Uhh...yeah?"
"Follow me."
We walked, and walked, and walked, a n d w a l k e d, a n d w a l k e d, and finally reached the center. A large arena dominated the floor, and a throne like chair had a woman with glowing eyes. She stood, and her eyes changed to brown. Her long, thick, auburn (AN: I'm taking a chance here, I can't exactly remember what color it is from YAPS) hair was in a tight braid, and a Persian was sitting next to her and growling.
"Who is it that challenges me?" she asked, her voice low.
"Us!" I answered.
"That helps me." she remarked sarcastically. She floated down to her box. "Who is first?"
"I'll go!" Eric volunteered. He stepped up.
"Strewth, attack."
"Sentr-no, Staryu, go!"
The Persian, named Strewth, slunk forward. "Ooh, what a tasty morsel! I like seafood!"
Eric gasped. "You talk?"
"Why not? I'm a Persian, aren't I?"
"Uh...whatever. Staryu, Thunderwave!"
Strewth was partially paralyzed, dodging at the last second. His hindquarters and tail were immobilized, and so was he.
"Strewth, Hyper Beam!"
The Persian blasted Staryu with an immensely powerful beam, but Staryu had erected a hasty Reflect, decreasing the damage.
"Recover and Electric Rain!"
Staryu glowed multiple colors, and then attacked Strewth with it's by now signature attack.
"Hah! Wimp." Strewth laughed, before Slashing at Staryu. It glowed golden, deflecting the damage, then Double Edged the talking Persian. It Recovered again after that.
"Oh...a tough Staryu, eh? Take THIS!" The Persian used Thunderbolt, but Staryu Teleported away. Then it used Swift.
"You're getting annoying..." Strewth growled. He Swifted right back. Staryu's Reflect bounced them away, but cracked and shattered.
"Staryu, set up another Reflect and make a Light Screen!"
Staryu glowed with a golden bubbled surrounding it.
"That's it! Now, use the Starstorm attack!" Eric shouted. Staryu used Double Team, making three copies of itself and surrounding Strewth. It used Swift, only each star was red and exploded when it made contact with the Persian.
"Owooo!!" Strewth yelled. It tried to Slash through the storm of stars, but only succeeded in damaging itself more.
"Ow! Oh! Recall me! OUCH!"
Hayley summoned Strewth back, then looked up. "You win, Eric."
He backed off, and I took his place.
"Alakazam!"
"Tangela!"
They faced. Alakazam raised its spoons, and Tangela experimentally whipped them. Alakazam pulled back, and Tangela giggled.
"Double Edge!"
Tangela shot forward and smacked Alakazam. It took rather heavy damage but KO'd Alakazam.
"Too good. Next."
Cory walked forward.
"Why, hello Cory!"
"Hi, Hayley. Don't worry, I won't hold back."
Hayley nodded. "Espeon!"
"Eevee!"
They glared at each other.
"Quick Attack!"
Eevee quickly vanished, nailing Espeon's unguarded back. (AN: Espeon is Eefi, in case you didn't know.)
"Bite!"
Eevee was just pounding Espeon, and Espeon kept flinching, and wasn't able to attack. Eevee eventually beat Espeon with a Take Down.
"You are good. Who's up after him?"
Luke stepped forward. "Clefairy!"
"Hypno!"
"Clefairy, use Love Chain Encircle!"
Clefairy shot the chain of golden hearts towards Hypno, but it missed.
"What other Spirit moves does Clefairy know?"
"Crescent Beam Smash, Meteor Shower, and it will learn Wink Chain Sword at level 35."
"What level is it?"
"34."
"Cool."
Hayley cleared her throat.
"Oh, right. Clefairy, Meteor Shower!"
Clefairy shot a thin white beam up in the air, and it divided and grew, making three large comets that smashed the ground and made large columns of light that knocked out Hypno.
"We're strong, aren't we? Last."
Jason replaced Luke, and called out Pikachu.
"Hmm...Girafarig!"
The electric rat and the psychic cow stood on each side of the circle. Pikachu started with a quick Swift.
"Gi!" Girafarig responded with Agility, becoming a blur temporarily.
"Pikachu, Thunder Crash!"
"Piiikaaachuuu!"
Pikachu surrounded Girafarig with white and green lightning. It yelled with pain.
"Um...Dex! What other moves does Pikachu know?"
"Thundershock, Growl, Tail Whip, Swift, Thunderbolt, Thunder Crash, Thunderclap Zap, Thunder Dragon, Thunder, Light Screen, Quick Attack."
"Thunder Dragon?"
"Thunder Dragon: 90 power, 99.6% accuracy. 20% chance of Paralysis."
"Thunder Dragon!"
Pikachu shot four lightning bolts up, and created a buzz saw of lightning. It shot out a thick bolt that created a green dragon of lightning. It 'ate' Girafarig, and electrocuted it, winning the battle.
"Okay...I need to improve. Here, Marsh Badges for all." She threw and telekinetically floated badges to us.
"Thanks, Hayley!" Cory said jovially, waving. We left, and were guided back to the door by Mr. I Can't Speak English Without An Accent So Thick I Can't Be Understood Easily.
I surveyed the skyline of Saffron. Silph Co. dominated the view, so I suggested we go there.
"Sure! Why not?"
We trekked, and after lots of winding roads, made it. The doorman let us in, and told us that we would receive a prize if one of us guessed a number inside between one and one hundred.
Eric took the guesses.
"25."
"41."
"90."
"50."
"49."
He wrote them down on a slip of paper with our names. The receptionist took the slips, and gave me a brochure.
"You can buy Silph products on the third floor." she told us. We split up, and I headed to the third floor, with Cory in tow.
"Hello, what can I do for you? We have three special items today: the UpGrade, an item that will make a Porygon evolve when traded, a Miracle Seed, which powers up Grass attacks, and the Mystic Water, a Water power up item. Along with the standard Ultra Ball, Super Potion, yadda yadda."
"Hmm...how much do the Miracle Seed and Mystic Water cost?"
"$200 apiece, $400 together." the person answered.
"I can add, too. I want both of them."
The salesclerk handed me a crystal necklace with water inside and a small seed on an all natural cord.
"I'd like an UpGrade." Cory requested. The salesclerk charged him $300. He sighed gustily, but recovered.
We regrouped in the lobby. Eric and Jason had examined and bought Pokédex upgrades, with entries on what some believed to be Pokégods, plus most of the Pokémon of Power, like Butterfrell and Electrabuzz. Jason insisted on showing me the Ground Pokémon of power.
"Sandblast: the Ground PoP (AN: That is how I will show Pokémon of Power). It has complete resistance to Water, but has developed a weakness to Rock. It's special move is Sandblaster, which is 90 power, plus it reduces the enemy Defense by 50%."
"That's nice, Jason. I'm proud of you." I said sarcastically. We exited.
Or, we tried to. When we passed the receptionist, she called us over. "Are one of you a person named Erin Sims?"
"I am!" I exclaimed.
"You won our Lucky Number contest. You have a choice between any power up item of your choice, or a mystery prize."
"Hmmm...mystery prize. I love randomness."
The lady gave me a spherical item in a maroon pouch. I opened it, and saw a pink Pokéball.
"Master. Use it carefully."
I whooped with joy. "YES! YES!!"
"Oh, and is there an Eric Wyott?"
"Yeah, that's me."
"You win a Porygon."
"Whahay! A Porygon! Coolness!"
He accepted his prize, and we left.
"Hmmm...it's only noon. Do you think we could reach Celadon before nightfall?" Cory wondered.
"Probably. Let's go!"
We headed out.
Ch. 43
Cory
"Pant...wheeze...are we...there...yet?" I gasped.
"Not yet! But soon!" Eric shouted. He was marching five yards ahead of us, with seemingly unending energy.
"Crazy...kid..." Erin muttered. Eric whirled around.
"And how old are you, missy?"
"14, if you must know, you little brat." she shot back.
"Fourteen, eh? Well, then. I want to know something: Can you beat me in a battle?"
"Of course! My levels are just as good as yours, plus I have the elemental advantage!"
"No, no. Sabers."
"Hoppip, Grass Saber!"
"Guess that settles it. Staryu, Water Saber!"
They started circling, with the rest of us retreating. Erin launched herself at Eric, slashing mercilessly.
He threw the Star at her, but she deflected it. It stopped her approach, though.
I could see Eric about to teleport, and turned up the repression. He glared at me, letting Erin almost score a hit. He stabbed at her.
"Hah! You, my friend, have a purely long distance weapon! I have the advantage!"
Eric growled, and tossed the star up. A handle grew out of it, and he grabbed and swung, hard.
Erin parried, and thrust. They continued in this manner for about half an hour before I got bored.
I started wandering, and found the Earth Shrine to one side of the Route. Jason followed me.
"Eric and Luke got Crests in Shrines; what do you think is in here?" he asked. I peered around the rich brown crystal structure, but couldn't see.
"Jolteon, Eevee, Flash!"
The Shrine lit up, and a bright yellow spark partially blinded me. A yellowish, glowing object dropped into Jason's incredulous hand. It was shaped like a four, or a 21, with the two crossing over the one.
"The Electric Saber." he breathed. He called out Pikachu, and handed the Saber to it. He glowed yellow, and had a small silver chain with a yellow gem inset into it around his neck when the light faded. "Piiiika!"
"Pikachu, Electric Saber!"
Pikachu turned into yellow energy that split in two and flung itself into Jason's hands. It solidified, forming two yellow nunchaki. Jason's Pokédex scanned it and gave its findings.
"The Electric Saber has caused Pikachu to form into the Pikachucks. They will teach Jason how to use them over a short period of time.
We exited the Shrine, and Jason began experimentally twirling the nunchaki. What we thought were chains that connected the metal handles was actually silvery lightning.
Jason swung the chuck around and hit a small tree. A large shower of sparks erupted, and the tree shuddered.
"HAI!" Eric screamed. Erin's scream of pain followed. Jason and I rushed back to the route.
Eric had cut a long gash in Erin's arm. She blocked another blow, and a beam of sunlight shone on her, healing the wound.
She quickly jumped and slashed. Eric took a hit to his shoulder, but Staryu Recovered it. They continued slashing and swiping. Both were equally knowledgeable about their weapon.
Then, a blue flash of light revealed Eric 2. Erin and Eric stopped fighting.
"Who...are...you?" he asked, looking at Erin. "That's the Grass Saber! Where'd you get it? Where is Raimey? Answer!"
I quickly explained. "...and Jason just got the Electric Saber and the Pikachucks."
"Well...I seem to have developed an immunity to paradoxes. I wonder why?"
"Well...I've researched a bit on this." Jason interjected. "If you travel through time, you become immune to changes in the past.
"When a change happens, it ALWAYS follows a time travel jump. These aren't exactly common, and obviously, the Paladins can do this. Anyway, if a time jump occurs, that is when the time/space continuum is weakened severely, and changes CAN occur, but won't necessarily. When the change happens, a time wave sweeps through the continuum, and rewrites EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. Of course, only very small percentage will be affected, in that they will be changed. In this case, Raimey was crystallized. Erin took on the power of the Crest of Hope and the responsibility of the Green Paladin. But, since you and other Paladins have time jumped, the wave couldn't touch you. Except for Raimey. He has been rewritten. He will be-"
Jason was interrupted as the sky started roiling with violent colors, and then cleared, revealing a gigantic island in the sky.
"Oh no." Tentomon stated. "It's happened! A Digimon has crossed the border!"
"What?" the Erics asked.
"Like when Myotismon crossed over! Only this time, the result is much sooner! That means the crosser was at least a Mega level Digimon!"
"Paladins!"
"Oh, no." Jason growled.
"I'm Sailor Moon, senshi of the Moon!"
"I'm Sailor Mercury, senshi of Water!"
"I'm Sailor Venus, senshi of Love!"
"I'm Sailor Mars, senshi of Fire!"
"I'm Sailor Jupiter, senshi of Lightning!"
"And we are the Neo Sailor Scouts! In the name of the Moon, we wish to negotiate!"
"Green-"
"Blue-"
"Yellow-"
"STAR POWER!"
Eric, Erin, and Jason transformed. Eric 2 was, for some reason, unable to henshin(transform).
Then, we realized what Sailor Moon had said.
"Negotiate?"
"Yes. We came to this world when the sky did what it did just now. We aren't about to relate the circumstances, but we know that you need our help and we need yours. We have to work together and save both worlds." Mercury explained.
"Well, it takes a lot of energy to remain in these forms. Let's assume civilian identities." Eric suggested, changing back. So did the Senshi, but when they did...
"You! You were in the tournament!" I shouted.
"So were you!"
"Hold!"
Spanish music filled the air.
"Fighting solves no problems: it only makes them worse. Patch up your differences, and work together!"
A man in a black tuxedo, white mask, top hat, and a long, black cape with a red inside stood on a convenient fencepost. The cape billowed in the wind that didn't exist.
"I am Tuxedo Mask!"
"Oh, gosh. Cut the bad poetry, detransform, and come help us." Jason snapped.
"I see you have experience in the identifying of poetry, but not enough. As the guardian of Earth, I will take no criticism!"
"Just DO IT!"
"Okay."
He vanished, and reappeared in front of us. Red and green sparkles hid him momentarily, and he turned into a college age man with short black hair and black eyes.
"Mamo Chiba."
"Eric Wyott."
"Jason Mann."
"Luke Walkar."
"Erin Sims."
"Cory Larame."
"Larame? Are you related to the Larame ranch?"
"Yeah. Lara is my aunt."
"Cool. I know the Scouts."
"Well, Tentomon. How do we get to the other world?"
"Well, I know where the gate is, but I don't know exactly how far it is from here. It is on an island far to the south."
"Well, could we fly?" Eric suggested.
"I should go now." Eric 2 interrupted. He vanished with a flash of blue.
"Whatever. Back on topic...there should be enough islands. Yes. We could."
"Let's go! Tentomon, digivolve!"
"Tentomon, digivolve tooo..."
"Kabuterimon!"
"Kabuterimon, digivolve tooo..."
"Megakabuterimon!"
Megakabuterimon had been eating his Wheaties. His shell was big enough to accommodate all of us.
"You'll have to ride inside my exoskeleton." he said softly. Of course, this still nearly blew us over, but still.
We loaded in, and it was actually comfortable. In Megakabuterimon's shell, the 'floor' was glowing greenly, and was delightfully springy.
"Liftoff!"
A rush of heat followed those words, and we started flying.
Four or five hours later, we were still flying.
"ANY SIGN OF LAND?!" Jason shouted.
"No!" he replied.
I sighed.
"LAND HO!!!"
He began descending, and I started sliding.
"Help! Help!"
Mina pulled out a strange wand. It was an orange rod with a star on the top framed in yellow with the sign of Venus in gold.
(AN: The sign of Venus is a circle with a cross under and connected to it. Mercury has two little marks like this: \/ on top of the Venus. Mars is a circle with an arrow headed diagonally right and up. For Jupiter, see the Electric Saber description. Moon is a crescent moon.)
"Venus Neo Power, make up!"
(AN: This fic was designed and is written [I hope] anime style. So, for those of you who haven't seen any anime whatsoever [Shame, shame] you'll have to use your imagination.)
Mina held her hand up as she spoke those words, and streams of yellow sparkles coalesced on the sign of Venus. The sign began spinning, and an image of it flew out of the wand.
Mina was transformed into a white body shape with (blush) nothing on. It was cleverly hidden with sparkles, however.
She swung the rod around with a ribbon of stars trailing after, and then she held the wand over her head, and the ribbon fell in rings and disappeared, making a circle of stars around her. Hundreds of stars erupted around her, and she was shown in her sailorfuku (outfit) which had orange trim and an orange skirt. The outfit also came with a tiara with an orange gem in the center.
She posed, and the sign of Venus appeared tilted behind her.
"Venus Love-Me Chain!" she shouted. A long chain of golden hearts flew out of her outstretched hand, grabbed my ankle, and dragged me back up.
"Wow, that seems a lot like my Clefairy's Love Chain Encircle." Luke commented.
"Umm...there is an explanation. Amy?" Mina asked her, detransforming in a shower of orange sparkles.
"We were Sailor Scouts long before you five received your Pokémon Licenses. We were admired for our strength, and the TM makers, after they had to recall all TMs, made our moves into Badge taught ones. They also changed the names, mostly. Only Sailor Moon's techniques were uncopied, except Moon Healing Escalation, which was made into Moon Healing. Of course, that move is now considered to be a copy of Moonlight, which only Johto Oddish's learn. Also, only my Shabon Spray was copied, that I know of." Amy explained.
"Oh."
"Landing!"
There was a jolt, and the rocket at the base of Megakabuterimon's shell went out, and we rolled out of it, landing on...Blastoise Island.
"Oh, no." Eric stated. "We may as well take on the Gym."
"We don't go after Badges, so we'll set up camp." Lita told us. We split, the Digimon staying to help with the camp.
The large, bright blue building loomed over us. Eric walked in confidently.
We followed.
"Five." Eric said bluntly. The receptionist wrote down our names as I told them to her.
Eric sat in a seat on the end of the row, and Erin, who was in the process of sitting, shot up and stalked to a seat on the opposite wall.
"Uh oh. We have a personality conflict." I sighed.
It made sense. Eric was, to put it bluntly, arrogant. So was Erin. They wouldn't be compatible, in the loosest sense.
Eric hurried into the arena as his name was called. Over the next fifteen minutes, each of the others went, leaving me last.
"Hello. I am Juan Garcia. I'm the Blastoise Island Gym leader. I have the Heavy Badge, and I use the largest Pokémon."
Juan was Hispanic, as in had dark hair, eyes, and skin. He was fairly tall, as well.
"I'm Cory Larame, and you are going down."
"Blastoise!"
"Jolteon!"
"Uh...Withdraw!"
"Thunderbolt!"
Blastoise raised a circle of water that repelled the Thunderbolt.
"Try again!"
"More!"
Blastoise held the Withdraw up as Jolteon pounded it with Thundershock. He used Thundershock so as not to waste energy. Blastoise eventually lost concentration, and Jolteon surrounded himself with lightning.
"Thunder Crash!"
Jolteon launched the lightning and KO'd Blastoise.
"Snorlax, Belly Drum!"
The gigantic Snorlax pounded its huge belly as it came out of the ball, and drooped. Then, it went to sleep.
"Eh?"
"Belly Drum: doubles the Attack stat while halving Health."
"Uh oh."
"Snore!"
Snorlax snored loudly, and a blast of white energy flattened Jolteon. Literally.
"Geodude, Submission!"
Geodude floated up, and pounded Snorlax. It, being weak to Fighting, fainted.
"Ah, you have won the Heavy Badge. Here, take it. It teaches the Belly Drum technique."
I headed out. We grouped together, and headed back to the beach we landed on. The Senshi (soldiers, Sailor Scouts in Japanese) had set up three tents.
"Ours, yours, Erin's." Lita said, pointing to each one in turn. They, of course, got the big one. Erin got the smallest, and ours was mediocre.
"It's almost dark, let's get food ready!" Serena said cheerfully. Amy sweatdropped.
"Is that all you think of, Serena?" she snapped.
"Uhhh...yeah?"
Amy fell over, anime style.
"What?"
Lita and Erin combined their considerable culinary expertise and produced a meal that consisted of various unidentifiable things that tasted wonderful.
"And this is what?" Eric asked, through a mouthful of something pink. "It's delicious!"
"Sushi. Raw squid."
He blanched, and swallowed quickly. Erin giggled. He glared at her, and she put on an 'innocent' look. As in, she smiled broadly and blinked rapidly with big eyes.
"Harumph."
When we finished, we rolled out our individual sleeping bags in our separate tents.
Ch. 44
Tentomon
As the sun rose, I went out foraging, and returned with clawfuls of fruit. Serena, however, ate most of it.
"Serena!" Lita snapped. "I can't believe you."
After that outburst, we prepared to set off again. Eric and Amy called out all of their Water types.
"Gyarados, Marril, Blastoise, Staryu!"
"Chinchou, Poliwhirl, Blastoise, Slowbro!"
Also, Serena called out a Furret, which is the evolution of Sentret, and Jason used Seel. Cory called Vaporeon.
"Why the weasel?" I asked her.
"It knows Surf, that's why." she snapped back.
Gyarados and the two Blastoises managed to carry most of us, and only Poliwhirl, Staryu, Furret, and Seel had to carry anyone else. The rest were recalled. The Digimon who could fly in any form did.
We Surfed southwards for a while, and eventually reached the Orange Island Archipelago. We rested on Mandarin Island for a while, but headed on.
By sundown, we regretted that decision.
"Are there ANY islands nearby?" Raye asked Amy, who was consulting a Pokégear.
"Not that I know of. Lillymon?"
"Yes, Amy?" Lillymon replied.
"Could you please scout ahead?"
"Certainly!"
She flew forwards at a remarkable speed, and came back quickly.
"There is a small island that might be able to fit us all if all the Pokémon would be recalled, and the Digimon reverted to their In Training forms."
"Onward!" Eric shouted. Mina hit him.
"Ow!"
We landed on what was actually a set of four islands, one with heavy overgrowth, one that was lashed with strong winds, one pounded with gigantic waves, and one with rolling hills. We chose the rolling hills.
As we landed, I saw that Lillymon had judged the sizes of the islands wrong. We fit comfortably without recalling anything. Tanemon frowned.
"I could have sworn that they were tiny..."
"You might have misjudged them from your height." I pointed out.
"I suppose." she sighed. We set up camp.
That night, as the humans slept, we Digimon kept watch. On my shift, a figure came up to the camp.
I was silent, but I sent a mental jolt at Jason. I made sure he would stay silent, however.
The figure was slight, and seemed to have a staff. It slowly drew nearer to the camp, then stepped into the light.
She was dressed in an outfit remarkably similar to the Senshi's Sailor outfits...she was! She was a Senshi!
She had purple instead of any other color, and she wielded a fearsome scythe like weapon with a moon white blade. Her suit also had what appeared to be shoulder pads.
"Well well..." she whispered with a chilling voice. "Intruders on the Outer Islands. I will have to call my sisters..."
A golden light shone behind her, and another senshi came out with yellow trim and a blue bow on the front of the fuku. Then, an aquamarine senshi, and a dark green one. All the Sailor's hair matched their outfits. The green one had a blue staff with a heart outline on one end with a garnet orb nestled in the bottom of the heard.
"Well, what have you called us for, Saturn?" the green one asked.
"Well, Pluto, I have located intruders." Saturn replied. "I think some of them are senshi, however. Three of the rest are Paladins, and two of the others might become Paladins. I sense paradoxial immunity, as well."
"That puts me at a disadvantage." Pluto grimaced. The golden one spoke up in a deep voice.
"But Saturn should be able to easily dispose of them, even if they do have some senshi and Paladins. Why call us?"
"There are eight powerful people down there, and all have strong Pokémon. Our Pokémon are not nearly as powerful as these, and all of the Inners are in there. Planet is something even I cannot defend against." Saturn retorted.
"But they have intruded! We have to get rid of them!" Aquamarine insisted.
I sent another jolt at Jason, this one very strong. He made a noise, however.
"They are awake. Uranus, take care of this." Pluto whispered harshly.
The golden one, Uranus, called out. "Intruders on the Isle of Silence, you have challenged our authority, and are thus subject to our power. If you leave quickly, you will be allowed to live."
A blue flash signified Eric transforming. He walked out.
"Why should we? There was not a 'No trespassing' or 'Warning: Beware of Mad Blonde Senshi' signs to warn us. We have as much right to be here as you do." he snapped. What I surmised to be Neptune, by process of elimination, spoke loudly.
"You have incurred our wrath. Prepare to be punished."
"Green Star Power!"
"Yellow Star Power!"
"Mercury-"
"Venus-"
"Mars-"
"Jupiter-"
"Neo Power, make up!"
"Moon Celestial Power, make up!"
Erin and Jason stood on either side of Eric, and the Senshi stood in a V shape, with Moon in front, and the rest behind her. Eric held up a Digivice, but Sailor Moon intervened.
"No! This is a battle for humans!"
Eric put away his Digivice grudgingly.
The Outer Senshi jumped into the battle 'ring'.
A ball of lightning appeared above Uranus's head, and she grabbed it, energy flowing through her fingers. "World..."
She swung her arm around, throwing the energy to the ground with a flash of lightning. "SHAKING!"
A golden ball of energy with a ring around it blasted across the ground, gaining speed.
"Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Jupiter shouted. Lightning hit a small lightning rod on her tiara, and traveled through her body to form a stream of lightning traveling between her hands. She clapped her hands together and pressed the energy into an elliptical shape. She then threw it at Uranus's attack, and they collided, making a giant flash that canceled both blasts.
"Deep..."
Neptune created streams of water that fed into a ball of blue light with rings. She then made two walls of water and propelled the ball through the 'tunnel'.
"SUBMERGE!"
Mercury and Venus stepped up.
Mercury held her hand out, and the planetary glyph of Mercury appeared in her hand. Mist swirled around it, and she created a harp out of the mist.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
Streams of water came out of the harp, and converged into a large blast of freezing water.
Venus held out her hand as well, and the glyph of Venus was hidden by yellow sparkles. One small spark went to her lips, and she blew a kiss in the form of a golden heart. She threw the heart around her waist, making a ring of hearts, and they then vanished, creating a large one inside a white orb.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
The heart and the water blast shot forward and negated the Deep Submerge. Then, the Paladins stepped in before Pluto or Saturn could attack.
"Blue Paladin Tidal Crash!"
"Green Paladin Elmwood Arrow!"
"Yellow Paladin Lightning Beam!"
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
Mars held out her glyph, which was hidden by a wall of flame. She pulled a bow of fire out of it.
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
An arrow of fire shot outward.
Sailor Jupiter created a green four shape that dissolved into lightning. The lightning struck her tiara all at once and made lines of green light that spread outward from her tiara. She spun in place.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!" A flurry of leaves flew towards the Outers.
Sailor Moon summoned a wand that had two handles that made a heart outline. There was also a pink circular jewel on the handle. The handle was winged. She went through a series of demented poses, and ended with her holding the scepter up.
"Moon Gorgeous Meditation!"
She held the wand forward, and what appeared to be shards of light blasted towards the Outers.
"Silence Wall!"
Saturn sliced her blade through the air in a series of complex gestures, and made a wall of purple energy. Every single attack was disintegrated by the chilling silence of Saturn's defense.
"Dead..."
Sailor Pluto raised her staff, and it was surrounded by visible wind. She turned sideways and held it off, and uttered the name of the attack.
"...Scream..."
She spun in a circle and let us see the deadly pink ball that blasted towards Erin.
She tried to scream, but couldn't. Time seemed to slow, and nearly stopped. As she silently cried, a bright flash of light attracted my attention.
"Patamon, digivolve tooo..."
White feathers surrounded him, and white light slowly brightened.
"Angemon!"
Angemon wasn't affected by Pluto's temporal meddling. He flew like an arrow in front of Erin, and I thought I could see a faint shadow of a small, blond boy jumping in front of her as well.
Angemon took the full blow. He fell to the ground, nearly lifeless. Erin screamed, this time audible.
"NOOOOOOOO! PATAMON!!!""
She fell to his side, and draped herself over his body. "NOO!"
Neptune's hand flew to her mouth, and Pluto looked as if she had been slapped. Uranus's mouth dropped open, and I thought I could see the twinkle of tears. Saturn, however, just looked on coldly.
"You challenged us. Any casualties are your own doing." she said coldly.
Eric looked at her, rage in his eyes. "Patamon was one of my best friend's Digimon. He was one of my best friends. You have incurred the wrath of the Triad."
"The...Triad?" Saturn asked unbelievably. Eric nodded, and summoned all his power.
"Senshi! You have the power of the Sailor Planet Attack! Use it!"
Sailor Moon looked at Eric. She saw the fire in his eyes, and the massive energies surrounding him. She nodded.
"Do it! Now!"
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Sailor Mercury shouted. She was surrounded by a blue aura.
"Venus Love-Me Chain!" Venus was highlighted with orange.
"Burning Mandala!" Mars, red.
"Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Green.
"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" Pink.
They merged all their power into Sailor Moon's diamond locket. She held her arms forward.
"Paladins!"
Erin held her hand up. A bolt of green shot into Eric's swirling maelstrom of power, followed by a yellow from Jason.
"Sailor!"
"Paladin!"
"Planet!"
"Flaming!"
"Attack!"
"Air X!"
A beam of pure white energy shot from Sailor Moon, alongside an x shaped beam of blue-pink-green-yellow light from Eric. Each color was one prong of the x, and the exact center was blindingly white.
"Silence Wall!" Saturn cried desperately, making a purple barrier that shattered instantly. There were three flashes, each color corresponding with Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto's Senshi colors.
"No! Uranus! Neptune! Help me! Pluto!" Saturn screamed, as the immense power consumed her. She kept screaming, until the very end.
"I...am the senshi...of...rebirth...you...can't escape me..."
She then vanished. I breathed a sigh of relief, and jumped down to Jason. He caught me easily, and hugged me.
"Angemon..." Erin whispered. He looked up.
"Don't...worry...Erin...I'll be...fine." He coughed loudly, and Erin was racked with sobs again.
"Why? Why did you save me?" she asked tearfully.
"I couldn't bear to lose...two bondmates. We are closer than family...you should...know..."
As his voice trailed off, he dissolved into white sparks, but didn't reform.
"WHY?! WHY!!" Erin shouted.
"Wait." Sailor Moon said, coming over to Erin. "I can help."
"How?" Erin cried. "How can you bring someone back to life? It isn't possible!"
"Yes it is. The Illusion Silver Crystal, the Ginzuishou, has restored me, all the Inner senshi, and Tuxedo Kamen completely before. I'm sure it will work for your Digimon."
Sailor Moon raised her heart shaped brooch, and opened it. A silver diamond glittered inside. She removed it, and raised it to the sky.
"Illusion Silver Crystal, help us. Give the life back to Angemon, so Erin will never be this sorrowful again. Please."
The diamond began glowing. Then, the Inners raised their wands.
"Mercury Neo Power!"
"Venus Neo Power!"
"Mars Neo Power!"
"Jupiter Neo Power!"
Blue, yellow, red, and green beams of light connected the five mystical artifacts. Then, Sailor Moon cried out in a loud voice that was seemingly imbued with enormous power,
"Moon Healing Escalation!!!!"
