Chapter 3: The Accident
Hello again, this is the Psychos' Stories, and I'm your host, Time Travelling Echidna.
Ech: And boy do we have a show for you today. Now the story really gets going, and we get out of the "first game in the series" mode.
Yes, thanks. I do know there hasn't been much of a plot so far, but remember, this is based on my games. There was no real plot to catching the first two Psychos. There was for every other one, though.
Roo: TTE owns nothing but us! I now have meaning in my life!
Okay, well, let's continue...
________________________________________________________________________
I had just beaten the champion, I felt great! But there was one problem. Professor Oak was mad. He yelled and screamed because I didn't have all of the Pokémon in my Pokédex! He said I needed only a few more, some evolved form of Oddish and a sunflower. I had no idea what he was talking about; I thought that I'd caught Vileplume and Gloom already. In fact, my 'Dex said that I did. I asked Oak what he meant, but he just told me to talk to the people in Goldenrod City.
"Hi, I'm here to take the train to Goldenrod." I said.
"I'm afraid it isn't working down there right now, but I'm sure they should have it up and running in a few hours." was the only reply made to me. I said "Never mind." and got on my bike. Obviously the S.S. Aqua could take me back to Johto, and I'd only need a little more time to go that way.
"I'm sorry, sir, but the S.S. Aqua only leaves from Vermillion City on Mondays."
This was gonna be harder than I thought. I walked down Route 23 and talked to Gary, Professor Oak's grandson, who was waiting there.
"Heh, what are you doing here, kid?"
"Listen, Gary, I know you're still mad about me beating you and everything, but I wonder, do you know of any evolved forms of Oddish or a sunflower Pokémon that evolve by use of a stone?" I said. I quickly added "I know about Vileplume, though."
"You bet, kid. There's this other stone, the only one that's massively available now, known as the Sun Stone."
I felt like a total idiot. Of course! There had to be a Sun Stone, just so it could be the opposite of the Moon Stone. After all, the other four stones were representative of the four Pokémon that Professor Oak had given out before to starting trainers, and they all were linked in some way, but not the Moon Stone. I wondered, "Where could I get this Sun Stone?"
"Well, in Johto, there's the Bug Catching Contest, and they give out Sun Stones as the first prize."
"Say no more, Gary, I'll see ya later!"
I took off, going over the continental divide towards Mount Silver. I never went there any more to battle Ash, but I did go there to get back to Johto more quickly. With Neo Psycho, Psycho, and my Feraligatr and Ho-oh, my team was unstoppable! All I'd have to do is glare at those bugs to catch them. I got on Ho-oh as soon as we reached Johto, and flew off to Goldenrod as quick as a Rapidash from a battle with a wild Blastoise.
When I arrived, I couldn't believe my eyes. All of Goldenrod was on fire! I landed and put out the blaze as quickly as I could, using Feraligatr's Hydro Pump to douse the flames. I hoped some idiot rookie trainer with a traded Charizard hadn't come into town thinking he could beat Whitney like last time. I heard a helicopter whirring overhead and turned around to see who it could be. My suspicions settled on only one thing:
"Team Rocket!" Whitney shouted from behind me. Apparently she too had been trying to put out the fire with her Miltank's Rollout.
"We thought that you'd never guess." a male Rocket Administrator said.
"We came back for the twerp. I know you've seen him somewhere." the female one added.
"I know what happened three years ago, too, Jessie!" I yelled.
"Well, I thought nobody would figure that out." a Meowth came from behind them, "So anyways, any a you's seen the twoyps?"
"Even if I knew where Ash was now, I'd never tell you where he is just so you could get revenge on him!"
"I figured you wouldn't cooperate." James said, "That's why I've brought the Shininator! This is the only thing that can stop a master trainer like yourself in his tracks."
"What does it do?" I asked.
"First let's have a battle." he replied.
This was going to be an easy battle, Team Rocket only used Poison types, and with Psycho, I could wipe the floor with them before they could even attack. Boy was I wrong. Of course the first thing that James sent out was Weezing. I sent out Psycho and the battle started. I thought that since he sent out Weezing, it would self-destruct before I could even attack due to the heat from some of the remaining buildings. It did, just as I thought, but James didn't send out another Pokémon. I asked him "What are you doing?" but it was too late. He had already fired the Shininator, creating a bright, white beam of light– and it was coming right at me! I ducked, but I forgot to recall Psycho! I fumbled for my Great Ball to return him to it, but the light was too bright. After about thirty seconds, the light faded and I saw Psycho. There was something different about him though, but I couldn't put my finger on it. "Is that all?" I said, "A bright, white light? What is this, a rock concert?"
"Just you wait, boy." he said as he sent out Grimer.
"All right, Psycho, use Psychic!" I yelled to my Mewtwo. He was just about to use it when the Grimer used Toxic! I couldn't believe it! Nobody was faster than Psycho, especially after all of those battles with Gary's Jolteon! The next thing I knew, Psycho got K.O.ed by the poison. It couldn't have happened. Psycho never loses! I returned him to my Great Ball and sent out my next Pokémon, Ho-oh. The battle went much the same for Ho- oh as the previous one went for Psycho. He K.O.ed Grimer, James used the Shininator, and Ho-oh lost. I sent out Pokémon after Pokémon, but I still couldn't K.O. more than one at a time. James was on his last Pokémon after he used the Shininator on Feraligatr, too. I knew I only had one hope: Neo Psycho. Neo used Aeroblast to finally take down the Nidoking and win the battle against James.
"Well, well, well, I guess we're done here." Jessie said, holding up a PokéGear, "We know where Ketchum is now, thanks, little boy."
"No!" I shouted as they flew off to the east in their helicopter.
"Thank you, young man!" the mayor of Goldenrod said, walking up to me. "You've saved the town! Can I get your name?"
"Ash... how could I let them get away?" I said under my breath after the first word.
"Ash? Funny, you've got the same name as the kid who saved the land from Team Rocket the first time."
"I'm sorry, sir, but I have to go!" I said, walking towards the door.
"But wait, kid! Don't you need anything? What's this all about?"
"There's only one man who can help me!" I yelled back, now running full throttle out of Goldenrod.
"Kids these days, always in a hurry." the mayor said as I ran.
"Professor! Professor!" I yelled, banging on Oak's door.
"Oh what is it now... some psycho kid coming to get my... oh! I'm sorry! I didn't know it was you!"
"Professor," I said, "I... Team Rocket... Ash... Shininator..."
"Whoa, whoa, slow down! What happened?"
"Professor, look at Psycho!"
"My God, he's different. He's a Shining Pokémon!"
"Shining Pokémon? But he's not a Shining Pokémon!"
"Wait, didn't you say something about Shininators or something?"
"That's right... James must've... And now they're weaker!"
"Listen, there may be a way to change one of them back, but I'll need to see them immediately."
"Well, Psycho's still pretty good, and I am kind of partial to Feraligatr's new colors, so I guess it'll have to be Ho-oh."
I gave the Professor my Ho-oh, and he worked all night. I stayed over at Ash's house while Oak helped my Ho-oh. I couldn't wait to get him back. Maybe then he could account for the deficit in Psycho's power. Yeah! "The Psychos could have a new addition to their team before the week is over!" I shouted in Ash's old bedroom.
"Could you keep it down up there?" Ash's mom yelled.
"Sorry!" I yelled back. "Well," I thought, this time not out loud, "His original name was Hot, so I'll make him just like Neo and Psycho by naming him Hot Psycho! No, no, wait, if I do, he still won't be able to be like them. He can't use Psychic, can he? Wait, yes he can! This is now how I'll do it!" "The Psychos have a new requirement:" I wrote into my PokéGear's new Trainer Notes feature, "They must be a legendary who can use Psychic and Recover, and must have them both at the same time." I turned off the PokéGear after I saved my notes and laid down for a good night's sleep.
The next morning, I woke up at ten o'clock, ready to get the heck out of Ash's house and get back on the road. I ran over to Professor Oak's lab and knocked on the door, ready to get my Ho-oh back.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're too late." Professor Oak said, "I already gave your Ho-oh out to another trainer."
"WHAT?!"
"Just kidding, ha ha. I got Ash the same way before I gave him his Pikachu. I knew he would get it, though, but only because I saw him forty—wait, you wouldn't understand!
"So, Professor, about my Ho-oh?"
"Oh, of course, here it is." he said, giving me the Ultra Ball which had my Ho-oh inside. "Take good care of it."
"All right. Thanks, Professor!" I yelled to him as I walked away. "So, come on out, Ho-oh!"
"Ho-ohoh!" it said.
"All right, Ho-oh, I'll call you Hot Psycho from now on. All right?"
"Oh Ho-oh!"
"Great, let's go to the Game Corner in Celadon so we can get you Psychic!"
And so that's what I did.
