Chapter 8

The Assault on The Yeerk Pool

(Jake)

I was leading everyone through an area of Viridian Forest when I saw it. The Yeerks had constructed a Yeerk Pool here and had been infesting new trainers as they came through here on their Pokemon journeys.

"Looks like Visser One decided to drop the Hork-Bajir and trade up to Charizards." Marco said.

It was an accurate observation. We watched the infestation pier as Charizards calmly walked up to it and bent down to let the Yeerk slugs out of their ears. When a Charizard was un-infested, it was herded back into cages. The Yeerks had made Controllers of humans, Pikachus, Charizards, Pidgeots, and a Metapod for some reason. At least, that was all we could see. I turned to see Cassie/Celibi with a look on their face that yelled anger.

We have to destroy this vile encampment. Celibi said.

We will. Before the day dawns, this pool will be rubble. Ax told her.

"Everyone, battle morphs." I said as a Human-Controller turned and saw us.

"ANIMORPHS!" She yelled.

(Rachel)

I knew one thing. My favorite battle morph, the grizzly bear, wasn't going to do any good against something that could breathe fire. However, fire never likes water. I focused on the Blastoise DNA that was inside me and the morph began. Now, I should remind you. Morphing isn't an exact science except in the two hour time limit. The first thing to form was the Blastoise's Hydro Pumps. You know, those two pipe things on its shoulders. Those two pipes were heavy and put me down on all fours as my arms and legs began to bulk up into thick turtle legs. My shell began to form at the same time as my head began to mutate. Finally, I finished the morph and began to see into this Pokemon's mind. I turned its massive hear to see my friends. Jake morphed into a Heracross he had picked up earlier from Ash. Cassie became the Articuno and Tobias became Mew. Marco became Venusaur and Ax morphed into Charizard. The Blastoise mind was ready when I spun with me in the shell into a group of Charizard-Controllers. I saw Cassie/Celibi fly up into the air and eye the Yeerk Pool. If I could have smiled in this morph, I would have. I knew what she was going to do.

(Cassie/Celibi)

Cassie, I believe we should freeze the pool. Celibi said to me.

Celibi, a Yeerk Pool is quite hot. How cold is an Ice Beam attack? I asked.

If I shunt my own power into the blast, we could reach absolute zero. Yeerkscicles, anyone? Celibi said a joke that Marco would probably say.

Let's do it! Ice Beam Attack! I yelled.

I fired a white beam from my beak and it hit the Yeerk Pool. The Articuno mind knew that it was under the control of a human and another Pokemon. It craved the power and I let it loose. In a fraction of a second, Celibi and I froze the Yeerk Pool and killed a lot of Yeerks in the attack. I saw five Jynx-Controllers pull out Dracon Beam Rifles and pointed them towards me.

"Fire at will!" One of them yelled.

TSSSEEEEWWW!

TSSSEEEEWWW!

TSSSEEEEWWW!

The Jynx-Controllers fired at me and I dodged the blasts with ease. I let loose another Ice Beam Attack, but at normal power. It froze the Controllers and the Dracon Beams stopped firing. I saw too many Pokemon- Controllers that I wondered how Jake and the others were doing.

(Jake)

"HERACRO!" I yelled.

My horn rammed into the stomach of a Taxxon-Controller. I never liked killing Taxxons. They're too easy to kill and too messy. Quickly, I shook of the alien blood before the other Taxxon-Controllers would try to eat their fallen comrade. My Heracross mind wasn't enjoying this battle. All it wanted to do was to break into the side of a tree and lick up some sweet tree sap.

Jake! Get these guys off of me! Marco yelled. Macro was trying to Razor-Leaf a swarm of Scythers. I didn't know if they were controlled or not though. I watched the Scythers's movements. They were perfect. These nine Pokemon moved as one.

Ax! Do you see those Scythers? I called over to Ax.

Yes, Prince Jake. He replied.

Demorph and tell me how many you see. I ordered the Andalite.

I saw Ax hide and I saw a portion of him demorphing.

I see three Scythers. Where did the other six go? Ax asked.

Okay, Ax. Remorph. Marco! These Scythers are using Double-Team! Razor Leaf the middle Scythers! I called out.

I saw Marco send of enough leaves that would make a gardener pack up and leave. The Scythers couldn't hand the direct attack and fainted. Then, I saw the Abomination and he saw me.

(Ax)

Greetings, Animorphs! Let me introduce a morph I recently acquired. Visser One said beginning to morph.

Visser One morphed into a large white bird. It had blue feather-like protrusions along its neck.

Lugia! How'd he get Lugia! Tobias yelled.

We captured this bird while in flight. I found its power impressive so I acquired its DNA. Visser One said unleashing one of the bird's attacks.

Tobias! How do you defeat Lugia? Prince Jake asked Tobias.

In the second movie, Lugia could be defeated by Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres. The three birds were working together. Tobias said.

Cassie and Celibi, think you can get them here? Prince Jake asked them.

I can try. Celibi said.

We'll try, Jake. Cassie said.

The rest of us, let's see if we can slow him down. Jake said. LET'S DO IT! Rachel yelled as she began to Hydro-Pump Visser One.

(Marco)

WHY AM I DOING THIS?! I yelled to myself.

I charged up my Solar Beam and fired. The blast caught Visser One in the head and he didn't look too happy about being shot at. He fired an energy blast which almost knocked me out.

They're coming. Rachel, Ax, Marco, and Tobias, you'll acquire them. I know Marco didn't acquire Articuno while he could have. Celibi said.

Was it my fault Nurse Joy was hot? I asked the disembodied Pokemon.

Focus on the battle. Celibi, tell us when they get here. Jake said.

Okay. Celibi replied.

I sent Razor Leaves into this pseudo-Lugia's wings and the bird didn't even flinch. I didn't know if we'd make it.

(Tobias)

I couldn't believe I was making more of a difference in this battle than the others were. Usually, my hawk morph sucked in battle. This Mew morph was something else. I liked it. It was a lot more agile than the hawk and was more playful. This made it easier to control. That didn't mean it wasn't intelligent. Some of the things the Mew mind came up with made me feel a feeling of awe at the profound nature of it. No wonder these creatures seemed more intelligent than Earth animals. The only reason why they hadn't built any forms of technology was that they saw no need for it. They lived a very good life. They reminded me of Hork-Bajir. Even though there were many different species of Pokemon and only one species of Hork- Bajir, a person who'd experienced both species could understand the similarities. Both the Hork-Bajir and Pokemon had limited intelligence except for a few seers that may come about. That was the only way I could think of it.

Are you afraid, Animorphs? Are you afraid of me? Visser One asked attacking us again.

Somewhat, Visser One. I almost blurted out.

A short distance away, Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos landed. Immediately, I flew and landed. There, I demorphed into my red tail hawk form. Cassie/Celibi was there in Articuno morph.

Marco, acquire Articuno. Rachel, acquire Moltres. Ax, acquire Zapdos. Tobias, acquire anyone of them. Celibi said.

Both Rachel and I acquired Moltres. After acquiring them, the three legendary birds flew off. Zapdos gave off bright bolts of lightning.

"What did he just say?" Rachel asked.

Good luck to you, Celibi. Celibi translated.

I began the morph and suppressed the animal instincts as long as I could. As I turned to look around, Rachel was pecking at Marco. Marco couldn't handle it. He was on his back, trying to shield his eyes from Rachel's relentless pecking with his wings. I almost laughed.

Get her off of me! She lost control! Marco exclaimed.

Rachel! I said.

Suddenly, Rachel stopped pecking at him.

What? Did I lose control? She asked.

You don't remember pecking Marco. Celibi said.

I think I would. Now, let's go kick Visser One's Lugia morph's butt. She said.

We flew into the air and began to fire at Visser One. The Visser threw up a barrier, but I knew he couldn't hold it for long. Not with five legendary bird morphs were firing at him. Jake got away from the battle and began to demorph. I knew that he would be morphing into Articuno and we'd have a Visser Pop. Visser One dodged and we followed him with great ease. These legendary birds were powerful and I knew some of what Lugia could do. He was a water bird. In a forest, that was kind of a useless gift unless we were near the ocean. After fifty-five minutes of this assault, we had Visser One on the run. His morph was injured and he knew it. He also knew that he was close to his two-hour deadline. Another thing he knew was that we were all in very fresh morphs. If we could keep this going for another twenty-three minutes, Visser One would become what I was. A nothlit. We were having a lot of fun chasing him around. Rachel was laughing.

Not so powerful now, are you, Visser? She laughed as she fired at him

The Blade Ship decided to rain on our parade.

RUN! Marco yelled.

Everyone agreed and we fled. When we landed near Mount Silver, we demorphed and Cassie/Celibi seemed pleased.

So this is what you use to do in your world. Celibi commented.
