Acacia, Lickitung, and a Cool Pokémon Journey
Part 1

Note: This chapter is incomplete once I think of more ideas I'll post. So until next time I am Talent Scout. See ya.
All the darkness slowly faded away as Acacia/Charizard came back to conciousness. She sat up slowly, careful not to make the pain on her stomach worse than it was. It was then Acacia became aware of her surroundings. Above her was a dome, but it was not very far from her head and not that much wider than her body. The dome was divided into sections of mechanical techno-junk. She looked down to see and almost exact replica of the roof, except there were footholds to stand on and a small pedestal jetting out of
the side to sit and lay down on. In front of her was a large white circle. Coming from the circle and going around the entire circumfrence was a thick black line.

"Where did Ian send me? This is weird, and Manny and Lickitung aren't even here," she said in Charizard language. But then it hit her, the mechanical surroundings, the large circle, the thick black line...

"AAHH! I'm in a Pokeball!" she roared, "Now I can see why Dagger hates these so much, it's cramped and there isn't much to do and nothing to eat and that's not much of a bed over there..." she rambled on and on to herself. She tried to ram her body against the circle which was obviously the button on the outside. But it didn't give way. A Pokeball is specially designed to keep a Pokemon in until called by its master. She didn't see how wild Pokemon escaped these darn things.

"Rrg!" she exclaimed in a fit. She pouned her clawed fist on wall. The white circle suddenly briefly turned red and then switched off again. Acacia banged the wall a second time. The red returned and disappeared once again. A Charizard smile formed on Acacia's snout. She backed up as far as the Pokeball would let her go and used a headbutt attack on the wall. BASH! The red light was on but before turning off, she did it again. And again. And again and again and again. The red became more and more intense with each
blow. But the red on Acacia's head was also becoming apparent. If the ball didn't open soon, she would suffer severe cranial damage. But on the very next blow, the roof burst up. Acacia/Charizard felt a strange tingling sensation as she rose quite high above her own feet. She was turning into a white beam of energy and she was growing back to full Charizard size. In a matter of seconds, Acacia was on the ground and the tingling had stopped. She opened one eye and looked down upon herself. She was solid again. She
gave a victory roar and a jet of flames upward (classic Charizard pose).

Acacia turned to see Manny laying on the ground in shock. Lickitung was next to him doing likewise. Acacia became herself again immeadeatly.

"Sorry to scare you guys. I just couldn't take that Pokeball. How could you stand it before I let you walk free Lickitung?" she asked her Pokemon. Lickitung remained motionless, his face frozen in horror, "What is it?" she asked him. It was then she noticed what was around her. She was surrounded by thick tropical rainforest. All sorts of insects, monkeys, birds, Pokemon and other animals romped through the trees.

"Whoa! Some of these species of plant have been extinct since the Mezazoic Era!" she exclaimed, "But how is that possible?" Manny gradually reached up and pointed a finger behind her. By the way Manny moved, Acacia moved in the same way. She turned around face-to-face with a large brown head and raging eyes. She began to back up in terror of not its face, but the reaper blades on its arms and the simple fact that it was a foot taller than she was.

Manny trembled, "It's a, a, a, a, a, Kabu, bu, Ka, Kabut, Babbl-dee-but, KABUTOPS!!!!" That screech got everyone in the group revved up enough the run like Rapidashes, the Kabutops matching their speed.

"Lickitung!! (It's Jurassic Pokemon!)"

The Pokedex translated from Acacia's belt, "Bad time to joke Licks! We gotta go faster!"

"'Cacia! Change into something that can take us out of here pronto!" cried Manny.

"I can't unless I stop!"

"Well try anyway!!"

"OK then, I'll try!" she called to him. She focused on the fastest Pokemon on land or air. Sea wouldn't be much help in this setting. Large tan feathers began growing out of her body. Yellow and red headdress feathers replaced her hair, making her look like the ultimate Native person. Tail feathers shot out her buttocks. Her arms became wings, but at that moment, her feet became bird-like and she tripped and fell over them.

"Licki! (Acacia!)" screamed Lickitung. It turned around and rushed back to help her.

"Lickitung, what are you doing?!" Manny yelled over his shoulder. He heard the sounds of feathers growing, blades slashing away at sub-tropical plants and slurping all behind him. But then he heard something else. A swift wind that came cutting over the terrain. As soon as Manny ran into a clearing, he was suddenly flipped over in mid-air and landed behind Lickitung and on top of Acacia. That's right, on top. And they headed straight up at Mach 2! Now how is that possible? It's as easy as A B C for Acacia/Pidgeot!

"Pidgeot, pidgeot! (Hang on tight, were going for a ride!)" she screeched in her eagle-like Pidgeot voice. Once they were out of Kabutops clutches, they had more time to think about what happened.

"You know, I though Kabutops were supposed to be extinct," Manny proclaimed.

Pidgeot! Pidg, pidgeot pidgeot! (Ding ding ding! Vana, tell him what he's won!)" said Acaica/Pidgeot.

"Hey, I may not be able to understand you, but I know sarcasm when I hear it," he complained. Acacia simply blew Manny a rasberry, "Lickitung, make her stop!" he whined like a child. All Lickitung did was yawn, search around with its tongue in Manny's bag, pull out a bag of Doritos and chow down on them, package and all. Acacia continued along at half her top speed. Still, that was enough to make Lickitung vomit those Doritos right back up and onto the head of an unsuspecting Omanyte.

Omanyte looked up at them. Humans, Lickitungs and Pidgeots wouldn't be evolved for another few million years, so it was a strange sight for the little guy. So it spun itself around like modern day helicopter blades and used the motion the propell it skywards.

"Whoa! Do you see that?" Manny pointed.

"Licki! Lickitung! (Yes I do! I didn't know Omanytes could fly!)"

"Pidgeot, geot geot! (Me neither, but nobody knows much about ancient Pokemon)"

"What are you two talking about?" asked Manny. Acacia turned her head around and grabbed the Pokedex with her beak and handed it to Manny to use as a translator. Meanwhile, Omanyte was coming closer. Eventually, it landed on Acacia/Pidgeot's back.

"Hey little dude! How are ya!" cooed Manny. Acacia rolled her eyes.

"Pidgeot. Geot pidgeot! (It doesn't understand you. English hasn't been invented yet!)"

But Omanyte spoke in its language, while the Pokedex translated, "Who you? You strange creatures. Why pink rubber 'ting drop stinky liquid on Omanyte's head?"

But Manny didn't waste time with pleasentries. He had sent Jolteon out of its Pokeball, "Thundershock it!" he said.

"Jol! (Will do!)" Jolteon used a controlled thundershock that just hit Omanyte.

"Pokeball go!" shouted Manny. The ball wiggled, but Omanyte didn't know about how to break out of Pokeballs, so it just sat still after a time.

"Pidgeot?! (Why do you get Omanyte?!)"

"Because you can't operate a Pokeball, remember?" he answered.

"Pidgeot. Geot, geot pidgeot? (Oh yeah. Hey, why hasn't it been transported yet?)"

"The Pokeball transport system hasn't been invented yet. So Omanyte stays until we find a way back to our own time," he explained. But that was easier said than done. While Acacia was paying attention to Manny, she wasn't watching where she was going and bumped into a large Ornithicheirus (the largest pterosaur in the Jurassic Period). Acacia/Pidgeot, her precious cargo, and the Ornithicheirus fell to Earth faster than Acacia's top speed.
