Chapter 3: vs. Ebirah

"Fuchsia City has been attacked by a black caterpillar-like monster two days ago. The city is all destroyed, but fortunately, nobody is seriously injured," reports the news reporter on the TV.

Prof. Oak watches the news with a worried face. "What is the world coming too…?" At this moment, the doorbell rings and he goes to open it. Behind the door are some armies. "May I help you?" asks Oak.

"You're Professor Oak, right?" asks an army. "We are officials from the Kanto Rescue and Protection Force. We are holding an important meeting that concerns our country and about the monster that invaded two days ago. It would be a pleasure to have you come and attend it."

"That would be good, if we can solve this problem." So he boards the helicopter that came to pick him.

"Time to set sail!" shouts Lt. Surge. He had called in a giant carrier to take the giant egg along. SS Aqua is pulling the carrier through rope connections.

The Cosmos People came along and are living inside a cage. "I hope we can get back to Kanto before the egg hatches," says Crystal. "Don't worry," the Cosmos tell her. "Mothra will not awaken until danger approaches."

The ship sails peacefully for some hours, until something shows up on the radar. "Captain, something big is on the radar!" says a sailor. "It's coming from the direction of the starboard!" Surge got his binoculars and looks toward the starboard. "There is something coming! Can it be Godzilla?" Everyone got to the starboard to watch. Suddenly, out of the sea emerges a HUGE lobster!

"What a massive lobster!" Crystal exclaims. "That is Ebirah, another result of nuclear radiation on a lobster," the Cosmos tell her. "It's coming towards us!" screams a sailor.

To be precise, Ebirah is swimming at high speed towards the egg! "It's gonna go for the egg!" says Blaine. "We must stop it!"

"I'll handle it!" says Surge. He sends out all his electric Pokemon and orders them to blast Ebirah with electric attacks. The electric beams all hit Ebirah, but the giant lobster continues to swim forward. It got to the carrier and cuts off the ropes holding onto it. "NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" screams Surge.

Suddenly, the egg begins to flash brightly. "What's happening?!" asks Crystal, surprised. "It is going to hatch," the Cosmos tell her.

The egg bursts open and the giant brown caterpillar, Mothra, emerges from the egg and dips into the sea. "Mothra is a huge caterpillar!" exclaims Bugsy. "I wonder how it'll look like as a butterfly, or moth."

Ebirah swims toward Mothra and rams her with his giant pincers. Mothra swims backward a bit and shot silks at Ebirah, but he uses his pincer to cut the silks away as it flies towards him. Mothra dips into the sea and bites Ebirah's tail. Ebirah roars and swings Mothra away from its tail.

Ebirah then pounces onto Mothra and pinches her head using his giant pincers. "Oh no!" screams Crystal. "Mothra is hurt! We must save her!" She calls out her Meganium, Megapon, and orders it to use Solar Beam. Megapon absorbs the sunray into himself, then he blasts a white glowing beam from his mouth. The beam hits Ebirah hard and knocks him off Mothra's back.

Ebirah gets angry and swims toward the ship. "Now see what you're done!!!!!" Surge yells at Crystal. "It's going to get us! We're doomed!!!!!! Get the lifeboats ready!!!!"

Mothra swims in front of Ebirah and rams into his head, knocking him away. Ebirah then strikes back by tackling Mothra hard.

"Captain! There's another thing on the radar!" the sailor shouts to Surge. "It's here now!" They all see a bright blue light flashing from the sea. "Godzilla is here!" says the Cosmos. A blue beam shoots out from the sea, and Godzilla emerges. "That's the monster that attacked Olivine City!" Bugsy points out.

Godzilla swims toward Ebirah, grabs it by its tail, and throws it far away. Ebirah swims back to Godzilla and slams him with his own pincers. Godzilla roars and punches Ebirah away and then turns to Mothra. His spikes start to flash in blue, and then he fires Heat Beam out from his mouth. Mothra quickly swims behind the carrier to avoid getting shot. The beam hits the carrier and destroys it. "Damn it!" curses Surge. "Don't they realize how expensive that carrier is?!"

Mothra pounces at Godzilla and bites him in the chest. Godzilla roars in pain and then pulls Mothra away.

Then Ebirah grabs Godzilla's tail and pinches hard. Godzilla roars and tries to shake him away, but Ebirah won't let go, so he slams his tail against the remains of the carrier, knocking Ebirah out, and then the giant lobster dives underwater. Godzilla looks around for Ebirah, and then he was suddenly being pulled underwater.

Mothra sees this as an opportunity to escape, as she can't possibly win in her larva form. She turns away from SS Aqua and swims off.

A sailor calls to Surge, "Should we sail out of here fast?"

"We should be doing this a while ago!" Surge yells at him. "Get us out of here!" So the ship quickly sails off from this area.

Under the water, Godzilla and Ebirah are battling. Godzilla grabs Ebirah by the tail and slams him against the rocks. Ebirah got lose from his grip and then grabs Godzilla's arm and pinches hard. Godzilla uses his other hand to punch Ebirah in his head, and then Godzilla blasts the giant lobster with Heat Beam, blasting him away. Godzilla approaches the fallen Ebirah, but the lobster quickly gets back up and charges at Godzilla again. Godzilla quickly grabs Ebirah by his left pincer and tears it away. Ebirah, with one pincer gone, decides that Godzilla is too much for him, so he quickly speeds off. Godzilla won't let him go away easily, so he blasts him one last time with Heat Beam. Ebirah gets hit by the Heat Beam and falls to the seafloor, motionless but still showing signs of life. Thinking the he himself has won; Godzilla turns and walks (or should it be swim?) away.

"The radar shows that the monsters have went off in other directions away from us," reports a sailor looking at the radar.

"Well, at least we can have peace for now," says Bugsy. "And where's Mothra?"

"Mothra is now searching for land."

"Mothra is gone…" says Surge with a sigh. "Now what are we going to tell everyone back in Kanto?"

"We can still show them the two Cosmos as proof," Blaine tells him. "And plus, if Mothra ever hatched in Kanto, her size could demolish the entire place!"

And so, SS Aqua sails back to Kanto…
