For chapter 14, I figure I'd stray away from the main plot, kinda like those Pocket Monsters mini-movies that're before the movies, just this once. For the side plot, I have a very comedic parody off the anime classic, Lupin III. You'll see tons of stuff from the Lupin series in this chapter, including a Pokemon dressed up as Zenigata. As usual, read, laugh your head off, then review.
Hiro, Ibui, and Kenta enter a Pokemon Center and go up to Joii at the counter.
"Excuse me, do you know when the next bug-catching contest will occur?" Kenta asks her.
"You've got good timing. It starts tomorrow morning," answers Joii.
"Alright!" exclaims Kenta. Hiro walks over to the computer and goes into his box. Kenta notices.
"What're you doing?" Kenta asks.
"I'm going to switch Lapras for Hanekko," Hiro replies.
"Why?"
"I've got a plan for capturing a good deal of bugs with it."
"Don't you think Lapras's Reitou Beam would've been useful as it is?"
"Not as much as what I have planned. Besides, I have to use some of my other Pokemon sometime or another," Hiro says taking Hanekko's Monster Ball out of the transfer slot and looking at it. The title then comes up in typewriter style text.
chapter 14: Kakureon III
Hiro and Kenta are sleeping on the couch in the lobby of the center. Next to the couch, we see Hiro's Pokemon belt, with one of the balls wriggling a bit, and then releasing the contents on its own. After a flash of light, the contents are revealed to be a certain blue-striped Kakureon.
"Kaaa....." it says happily as it grabs Hiro's other Monster Balls and releases them as well. Now Hiro's Mokoko, Tattsuu, Booby, and Hanekko all stand around him.
"Ka kakureon kaku kaku!" it says to them and they all look happy. They're all start to walk towards the lobby door, but Hiro's Ibui wakes up and runs in front of them.
"Bui bui ibuiiiiii.....?!" he shouts to them.
"Kakureon!" Kakureon says as Hanekko hovers up above Ibui and sprinkles a cloud of powder. As Ibui's being covered in the powder, he begins to look drowsy, then drops to sleep.
With Ibui now asleep, Kakureon-tachi proceed out the Pokemon Center and run around the town. In the distance, we can see the Shizen Kouen, where some people setting up for the contest tomorrow. They ignore this and continue to wander the town. They eventually come to a big mansion with a guy, who looks like a fat geek with thick glasses, coming up to the gates.
"I'm so glad to be home with my 'treasure'," as he opens the gates and walks into the mansion ignoring the group of Pokemon standing there.
"Reon ka ka!" it shouts as everyone looks at the mansion. It must've been mentioning the treasure, because everyone starts to imagine what the treasure might look like. Kakureon imagines a ton of markers, Mokoko pictures rubber gloves and sheers, Tattsuu pictures scale polish, and Booby and Hanekko think of a ton of toys (though Hanekko's are a bit more mature than Booby's toys).
"Kakureon!" Kakureon points to the mansion and motions everyone to go in as it squeezes between the bars of the gate. Everyone looks uncomfortable about whatever Kakureon planned, except Booby, who doesn't know what's right or wrong. Booby slips between the bars as well and runs after Kakureon, who's already at the front steps of the mansion. The others now follow, mainly to stop Booby from getting in trouble. Tattsuu squeezes through the bars fine, but Mokoko and Hanekko are a bit wide, so Hanekko grabs Mokoko and floats over the bars. They arrive to see Kakureon and Booby crawling through an open window, and they follow through the window as well.
Inside the mansion, they wander a bit, and finally find Kakureon and Booby sitting in front of a giant vault. They're all about to grab Booby and Kakureon and then run, but they also stare at the vault.
Kakureon turns around and notices that they now all have a more intrigued look on their faces. "Kaku?" They nod, and Kakureon looks more happy as it shouts to them. After discussing whatever, Hanekko hovers outside the window and stays there, and Tattsuu and Mokoko combine their attacks, and then Booby shoots flames into the stream of combined attacks, and then everyone runs back and ducks as there's a huge explosion resulting.
The noise was pretty loud, but luckily, no one hears anybody waking up and walking over to there. As the smoke clears, the vault is shown to be broken open. The contents of the vault appears to be a long hallway with some other hallways branching to the side, likely a maze.
Kakureon, Booby, Mokoko, and Tattsuu proceed into the maze. They wander around a bit, but they seem to be getting nowhere. They eventually sit in the maze and stop for a rest.
After a while of resting, they hear a loud noise "Gurururu!" and get scared. They frantically run down the maze, but are still getting lost. They finally find a door, open it and encounter a large room full of Fushigidane, Fushigisou, Fushigisou, Fushigibana, Himanattsu, Himawari, and Roselia, all of which are wearing police hats. One Fushigibana, likely a leader, holds up one of its vines, and then brings it down indicating for them to begin firing a barrage of bullets from their Tane Machine Gun technique. Kakureon-tachi quickly shut the door and run away, only to bump into the thing that was causing the growl earlier: a giant Nidoking wearing a tan overcoat and a detective's hat.
Everybody freaks tremendously and runs down the halls as Nidoking chases them. He grabs a pair of handcuffs out of his coat pocket and holds them up in the air threateningly as he chases them.
Mokoko looks over at the hopping Tattsuu. "Koko. Mokoko mokoko mo!" The Tattsuu looks at it, and nods as she jumps into its hand. Mokoko turns around and fires Tattsuu at the Nidoking like a handgun. Nidoking ducks frighteningly as the water hits a wall. Mokoko, feeling the need to look stylish as it shoots, curls some of its chest wool forward to reach its chin, making something of a gotee, then shapes some of its head wool into a hat-like shape that kinda goes over its eyes, then begins firing again. Nidoking continually dodges each shot until Tattsuu begins to pant, too tired from the repetitive fires. When Nidoking looks at the worn out Tattsuu, it begins charging forward again, and Mokoko tries catching up with Kakureon and Booby, still holding Tattsuu, who by the way is never held against the static wool parts of the body for obvious reasons.
Mokoko catches up with the other 2, and are in some kind of large clearing which, despite being just the inside of a vault, looks very much like it were an entry lobby inside the mansion. As Nidoking is busy with Kakureon and Mokoko, Booby takes the opportunity to jump out of the way and leave Nidoking to continue being distracted with the other two. Booby notices some fancy sheathed dagger on the wall. It jumps up, takes the dagger, then walks up the stairs. It jumps onto the guard rail, then jumps onto a nearby chandelier. It looks down and notices Nidoking is chasing them in circles, continually passing through the 'entry lobby' below, and Booby considers using this to its advantage.
As Nidoking continues chasing, Kakureon decides to break from the chasing as well by jumping to a nearby door, running inside, and closing and locking behind it. So Nidoking is only chasing Mokoko and Tattsuu now (but only Mokoko is running). Back at the chandelier, we see Booby is shooting flames at the chain holding the chandelier up. Booby times Nidoking's movement, and the right moment, it unseathes the dagger, takes a swipe at the heat-softened chain with the dagger, then immediately jumps back to the top of the staircase before the chandelier falls right on top of Nidoking, knocking him out. Mokoko stops running and puts Tattsuu down, and at the top of the staircase, we see Mokoko, with a glint in its eye and a serious looking face, sliding the dagger back into the sheathe at its side.
We now see Kakureon turning on the light of the room it's now in, and it now sees another Kakureon. This Kakureon is wearing a pink nightgown and sleeping in a bed. Kakureon has giant hearts in its eyes as 'he' sneaks up to the female Kakureon. Kakureon grins and looks down at the female Kakureon, who wakes up and looks at the shiny male. The female looks pissed and transforms into a Rougela. The gorgeous Kakureon suddenly turning into a Rougela was too much for Kakureon as he freaks out tremendously. The Rougela punches Kakureon, and he goes flying into a wall. Kakureon gets back on its feet in time to see the Rougela transform into a Metamon, which snickers to itself. Kakureon now looks really pissed off.
Outside the door, we hear some very bad sounds of smacking and beating. Kakureon opens the door, steps out, and through the doorway in the background, we see a splatter of pink slime on the wall that has a frowny face on it. Kakureon walks back into the lobby to see the Nidoking knocked out, Booby putting a sheathed dagger back on the wall, Tattsuu recovering itself, and Mokoko fluffing its head and chest wool back to how it was. The four look over to another hallway, and at just the right angle, they manage to see another vault.
They run to the vault, and Kakureon orders the same explosion technique combining the water, electricity, and fire, run back and duck down, and the smoke clears to reveal the vault's contents. They all walk forward to the inside of the vault, but the treasure wasn't what any of them had expected at all. It was a room full of Lupin III memorabilia. Lupin DVDs, music CDs, video games, an entertainment system to use all of them, clothing, etc.
Booby notices one other thing. It walks over to a box full of unlabeled tapes. It picks one up, puts it into the TV, and it shows footage from what appears to be the security camera. It shows Nidoking chasing some Rocket Dan members down the hall, completely reminiscing what would be seen in a typical Lupin episode, and Kakureon-tachi laughed watching it. However, their viewing was cut short as the Nidoking comes up to them and chases them around again.
This time, they try heading the way they came out. After some memory of their previous route, they manage to get through the first vault they broke through, go to the window to see Hanekko there, and they all jump out to latch onto it. Kakureon grabs Hanekko's feet, Mokoko grabs Kakureon's tail, Booby grabs Mokoko's tail, and Tattsuu jumps into Hanekko's free hands. Hanekko now tries to fly away, but with all the added weight tieing it down, it hovers very low, with Booby almost touching the ground. Everyone gets a sweatdrop from this.
The Nidoking runs to the window and is about to catch them, but the wind picks up at that moment, blows Hanekko away quickly, and manages to lift everyone above the gate.
Everyone now runs back into the Pokemon Center, and get back into Hiro's Monster Balls while he's still sleeping. Ibui's still sleeping too. Later, we see the geek who owns the mansion laughing his security footage of Kakureon-tachi being chased through the halls by Nidoking. "I've gotten tons of Lupin reminiscences with burglars, but this is my first time with Pokemon. Good job, guys," he congratulates the Nidoking, Metamon, and army of grass Pokemon behind him, who simply smile.
