Chapter Fourteen: The Gateway to Earth
The Poke Destined have opened the gate to go to Earth. Unfortunately, only Gary knew what he was doing and where to send his gate. He has appeared in Washington D.C. in hopes of finding Bushemon's creator, Al Gore. The others have been hurled to random places around the globe.
IN WASHINGTON D.C. ...
(A young child is sitting on a bench in the National Mall playing his Gameboy. He has just started playing yellow version and is fighting Gary and his Eevee. All of a sudden, the characters start to move and the Gameboy starts to glow. A beam shoots out of it and Gary and Eevee materialize.)
Gary: That never stops creeping me out, Eevee.
Eevee: I know what you mean, Gary.
Child: Wow, a real Eevee!
Gary: We can't let this kid remember this, Eevee.
Child: What? What are you talking about?
Gary: Eevee, light pokevolve!
(music starts playing)
POKEVOLVE INTO CHAMPION
Eevee: Eevee, pokevolve to: eevee.
Gary: What's wrong, Eevee?
Eevee: I don't know. I can't evolve.
Gary: There must be something around here that is stopping your evolving.
(He looks around the area.)
That tower! It's just like the control spires in the digital world!
Child: You mean the Washington Monument? That doesn't do anything. It just has been closed for what seems like forever for renovating.
Gary: You have to wipe this kid's memory, Eevee. Use a small shadow ball. Just enough to knock him unconscious.
Eevee: Shadow ball.
(A tiny purple ball shoots from his mouth. It hits the kid in the forehead. He falls asleep on the ground.)
Gary: Good. No more trouble from him. But, until I find a way to let you evolve, you should hide in your pokeball. Eevee return.
(He returns to the pokeball.)
Gary: Now for the monument.
ASH...
(Ash and Pikachu are transported to a large screen in the middle of Tokyo. It is switched to Pokemon for the season premiere. Ash and Pikachu materialize and fall onto the street. Many people see them.)
Man: Satoshi!
Child: Pikachu!
More people: Pikachu!
Ash: They seem to know you well, Pikachu.
Pikachu: Well, I am the starter of the main character in the show.
Ash: Right. Too bad we don't understand anything that they are saying. I think that we should get inside before more people see us.
Girl: No! Satoshi!
(A mob of Japanese people start to chase after Ash and Pikachu.)
Mob: Pikachu! Satoshi! Pi-Ka-Chu! Sa-To-Shi!
Pikachu: What do we do?
Ash: Run!
Pikachu: Barrier!
(The crowd is stopped for a couple seconds. Ash and Pikachu run into an alley.)
Ash: We have to get away from these people, Pikachu.
Pikachu: I can fight off these people if I have to.
Ash: I wonder why we can't understand him.
Digivice: That is because you are created from the English dubbed version. You originally spoke Japanese, but then you were given the English dialogue. Therefore, you no longer can understand Japanese.
Ash: What is that thing talking about?
Pikachu: Remember that Gary said that here we were a TV show? This must be where it originated.
Ash: Where did the show originate?
Digivice: The Pokemon television series originated in Japan.
Ash: Japan? I've heard of the word before.
Pikachu: Ash, that's were the digidestined are from.
MISTY...
(Misty is transported to a Gameboy that a child is playing on the ferry ride to Mackinac Island from Mackinaw City in Michigan. The child is siting at the very rear of the ferry. Misty and Staryu materialize and then off the edge into the Straits of Maciknaw. She shoots bye so fast, the child doesn't even notice her.)
Misty: Oh man, I am really starting to hate boats. It seems like whenever I am on one, it either sinks or I fall off.
Staryu: What are you talking about? I love water. And look at this place. It's awesome!
Misty: I guess you're right. That sure is a big bridge over there. But, we should get to shore.
Staryu: Look out!
(The wake of a ferry knocks Misty unconscious. Staryu saves her and brings her to shore.)
Staryu: Misty, wake up. I know that you're alive.
Misty: We really have to stop going in the water.
Staryu: There you go. I knew that you were fine.
Misty: I need something to eat. Where are we?
Digivice: The city of St. Ignace, Michigan. Local dining accomodations include Mc Donalds, Clyde's Drive In, and the Bear Lodge Inn.
Misty: Well, we might as well check some of them out. Staryu, you had better hide. Earth doesn't have pokemon. Staryu return!
(Misty heads from the beach up a few roads to a road with many cars and buildings on it.)
Misty: That place looks fine. Clyde's Drive In: home of the Big C. Lets hope that it is big, I've got a monster appetite.
(Misty crosses the street and walks inside the restaurant. She sits down at one of the stools at the counter.)
Waitress: Hello. Welcome to Clyde's. What may I get you?
(Misty looks up at the menu on the wall. She sees the 3/4 lb Big C.)
Misty: 3/4 of a pound? That's it? Oh well. Give me a Big C with cheese and a chocolate shake.
Waitress: You got it.
(Misty gets the burger and scarfs it down within 90 seconds.)
Misty: Yum.
(A 15 year-old girl and her parents walk in to Clyde's. The girl stops and stares at Misty.)
Misty: What? You got some sort of problem with me?
Amanda: It's you!
Misty: What do you mean? I don't know you at all.
(Amanda runs out of the restaurant.)
Misty: I wonder what her problem was.
(She turns back to the counter to have some more of her shake.)
Amanda: Pandamon, attack!
BROCK...
(Brock has been brought to a child that is playing a Gameboy in the backseat of his car. His family is driving to Crawford, Texas. His Gameboy starts to glow and he gets scared.)
Child: Mommy, something weird is happening to my Gameboy!
Mommy: Stop imagining these things. Maybe I shouldn't let you play these games so much. You wouldn't have such an imagination.
Child: But, Mommy!
Mommy: I don't want to hear it.
(The child gets freaked out and throws the Gameboy out the window. Brock and Vulpix appear just after it is thrown. They are sliding along the side of the road.)
Brock: Aahhh!
(He and Vulpix come to a stop after crashing into a sign on the side of the road.)
Brock: Oh man. I really didn't need that.
Vulpix: Oww.
Brock: Great, we're in the middle of the dessert. What does this sign say?
Vulpix: It says,"Welcome to Crawford, Texas. Home of George W. Bush. P.S. Don't mess with Texas."
Brock: Bush? Oh no! Do you think that he is here?
Vulpix: I don't know. I can't sense any sort of digimon energy on this world.
Brock: Of all the places on Earth, why did we have to end up here? Vulpix burn that sign down.
Vulpix: You got it. Fire Spin!
(The sign goes up in flames and falls to the ground.)
Voice: You just made the biggest mistake of your life, partner.
(Brock and Vulpix turn around to see 30 angry Texans with their guns drawn.)
Man: You were warned not to mess with Texas. But instead you went and messed with Texas. Now you pay the price for messin' with Texas.
Kirby: No. I have direct orders to eliminate him.
Hagurumon: Yeah!
Brock: What is that?
Digivice: Hagurumon, the machine digimon. This rookie digimon attacks with its darkness gear and drag attacks.
Brock: You think that thing can beat Vulpix?
Kirby: No. I expect this to. Hagurumon, digivolve!
(music starts playing)
DIGIVOLVE INTO CHAMPION
Hagurumon: Hagurumon, digivolve to: DEPUTYMON!
Deputymon: Now to show you not to mess with Texas! Justice Bullet!
Vulpix: Flamethrower!
(The bullet melts right before it hits Vulpix.)
Brock: Vulpix, pokevolve!
(music starts playing)
POKEVOLVE INTO CHAMPION
Vulpix: Vulpix, pokevolve to: vulpix.
Brock: What?
Vulpix: Something is stopping my pokevolving.
Deputymon: Don't mess with Texas.
GARY...
(Gary is now in the construction site of the botanic gardens next to the national mall. Since no one is around, Gary has let Eevee out.)
Gary: Okay, I've hooked up to Earth's internet and gotten some info on this tower. It says that it is just a memorial for the first president of the United States. But, I have been able to tap into an energy field reading. It shows 50 beams of dark energy extending from the Washington Monument to the highest building in each state. It spreads Bushemon's control to people without digivices and stops any form of pokevolving. Bushemon has set these networks up in every country in the world. We have to destroy the source of this energy so the others can evolve and defend themselves.
Eevee: Have you been able to locate the others?
Gary: Yeah. Misty and Staryu are in Michigan. Ash and Pikachu are in Japan. And, Brock and Vulpix are in Texas. All three are in a lot of danger. Brock is near Bushemon's home. Ash is where all twelve of the original digidestined are. And Misty is in the Great Lakes system. There are digimon all along the shoreline.
Eevee: We had better destroy these networks fast then.
Gary: But, when we do, the pokemon will only be able to become champions. For some reason the crests don't work here yet. And, we won't be able to destroy the system in Japan, but Ash might be able to.
Eevee: Let's get going to the monument to destroy it.
Gary: We can't destroy the monument.
Eevee: Why not?
Gary: Two reasons. The first is that it is an important Earth building. The second is that you aren't strong enough to destroy a big building like that without evolving. We'll have to get inside somehow.
Eevee: But the building is completely closed.
Gary: True. But we need a way to get to the top.
Eevee: I can force my way in.
Gary: Are you sure that you're up for that?
Eevee: Sure.
Gary: Okay, let's go! Eevee return!
(Goes back into the pokeball. Gary walks across the national mall to the front entrance of the Washington Monument. There are workers there
making sure that
nobody gets into the building.)
Gary: Okay, we're going to have to time this just right. Eevee, go!
(He throws the pokeball at one of the worker's head. He is knocked out.)
Worker 2: Oh no! It is a pokemon kid. Stop him!
Gary: Eevee, use your body slam!
Eevee: Body Slam!
Worker 2: Ha ha. That won't stop me.
Eevee: Rage!
Worker 2: Aahhh! Get off of me!
(Worker 2 goes down.)
Eevee: Who's next?
Worker 3: Worker hammer!
(He swings his hammer at Eevee)
Eevee: Iron Tail!
(Stops the hammer and knocks the worker unconscious.)
Worker 4: Worker Body Slam!
Eevee: Skull Bash!
(He hits the worker in the stomach. He goes down in pain.)
Gary: Great job, Eevee! Let's go! This might come in handy, too.
(He picks up the hammer.)
(The elevator to the top is out of commission, so they have to take to stairs to the top.)
Gary: Eevee, you need to save your energy. Return!
(Gary makes his way to the top of the many stairs and finds a black, glowing object in the center of the rooms.)
Gary: Alright Eevee, let's go!
(Eevee comes back out.)
Gary: You'll have to use all your energy on this, Eevee.
Eevee: Right. Focus Energy!
Hidden Power!
(A large burst of energy shoots of him at the dark object. Its shell breaks to reveal a strange new object.)
Gary: Well, that did it. There's no more energy that is powering the anti-pokevolving things around the United States. But, this thing is still giving out a lot of energy. What is it?
Digivice: This is the Digimental of Darkness. It is being used by Bushemon to power his Unconstitutional Authority attack around the United States of America.
Gary: I had better take this.
(It starts to float over to Gary and is absorbed by the dark section of his digivice.)
I'll figure out what to do with this later. The others can pokevolve for now. We need to find Al Gore.
WHAT MORE WILL GARY UNCOVER IN WASHINGTON? WILL THE OTHERS SURVIVE THEIR ADVENTURES AROUND EARTH? FIND OUT IN THE NEXT LEGEND OF THE POKE DESTINED.
The Poke Destined have opened the gate to go to Earth. Unfortunately, only Gary knew what he was doing and where to send his gate. He has appeared in Washington D.C. in hopes of finding Bushemon's creator, Al Gore. The others have been hurled to random places around the globe.
