Ch. 6: Waterflower' Revenge!
Three days have passed since World Domination Regime's first attempt to assassinate Amazon of Team Hunter, a.k.a. Maze Tenaku... but right now. Misty and the rest of the army still need to know on what Team Hunter actually is. While having lunch (Brock's great cooking), at Misty's table... she noticed that her brother, Marty, isn't eating or at any of the tables.
Misty asked May, "Do you know where Marty is?" May blushed, "That hunky brother of yours? No." Brock answered, "I have, he said he was going to pray." Misty asked, "Where?"
The answer was at the shoreline... Marty was standing in the waters with water-blue beads in hand, praying, with his surfboard standing in the sands behind him.
My immortal
/ I'm so tired of being here /
/ Suppressed by all my childish fears /
/ And if you have to leave /
/ I wish that you would just leave /
/ 'Cause your presence still lingers here /
/ And it won't leave me alone /
/ These wounds won't seem to heal /
/ This pain is just too real /
/ There's just too much that time cannot erase /
/ When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears /
/ When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears /
/ I held your hand through all of these years /
/ But you still have /
/ All of me /
Misty came up beside him, hoping to pray as well.
/ You used to captivate me /
/ By your resonating light /
/ Now I'm bound by the life you left behind /
/ Your face it haunts /
/ My once pleasant dreams /
/ Your voice it chased away /
/ All the sanity in me /
/ These wounds won't seem to heal /
/ This pain is just too real /
/ There's just too much that time cannot erase /
/ When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears /
/ When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears /
/ I held your hand through all of these years /
/ But you still have /
/ All of me /
/ I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone /
/ And though your still with me /
/ I've been alone all along /
Marty finished his prayers by saying, "Amen." He noticed Misty, but just nodded. Misty asked him, "What are you thinking?"
/ When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears /
/ When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears /
/ I held your hand through all of these years /
/ But you still have /
/ All of me /
Marty answered, "I want revenge. Porter is a part of W.D.R. I'm sure of it."
At W.D.R. Headquarters... Giovanni was at the desk with some of his top W.D.R. executives. Giovanni asked, "Where's Korea Karenna of Team Mystery? It's been 3 days and she hadn't come back from finding out anything from Team Hunter?" Maxie (boss of Team Magma) answered, "She's dead, sir. We found her smashed and frozen corpse in a strangely flooded forest of bamboo in the jungles of Taiko." Archie (boss of Team Aqua) added in, "And that Ruby Glaive Pendant is gone, none of us have it!"
Annie (from "Pokémon Heroes — Movie") added in, "But we did find Snowolf footprints." Oakley (from "Pokémon Heroes — Movie") followed, "Which we're proud of, since we went into the trouble of finding the identity of some of those Team Hunter members and the location of their base."
Butch said, "But there's more bad news, I'm afraid." Cassidy spilled the beans, "You see, we all did and still there's no information on their true identities. Korea was a great psychic, but she must've died before she could relay us the entire information that she gathered from one of them."
Dr. Nanba (from "A Parent Trapped") sighs, "Well, we know that Team Hunter isn't completely invincible. One of our finest men wounded him before dying. And we found traces of blood that did not in fact belong to Korea." Giovanni shouted, "I'm losing some of my finest agents to likes of these new heroes, and all we're doing is trying to find their base and their weaknesses!"
Domino (from "Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns — Movie") asked her boss, "Isn't that the entire point, sir?" Giovanni said, "And what's worse, we fell for those ex-employee buffoons as if they were just easy targets!" Butch agreed, "No kidding, that new and improved James had nerves of steel unlike the James we used to know. As well as a body of it, he almost sent me halfway to Johto just by kicking me in the butt!" Cassidy added in, "Not to mention, Jessie had a cannibalistic mind! She's gone insane!"
Porter (he still looks like what he looked like in Ch. 4) calmly said, "Maybe we should poison the mind of one of the Resistance's strongest soldiers and use him against them!" Giovanni said, "I've killed a man like that before, Porter." Porter countered, "Before I joined, Team Control was already a band of murderers, thieves, hypnotists, and chemists. We've been killing people, possessing their minds & bodies, stealing toxic chemicals, and making various superhuman-making serums."
Giovanni said, "Which is the reason why we've become allies. For years, my mother lost many good men and women... but now I'm losing much more through betrayal, death, and confusion!" Porter halted him, "Back to the subject, before I was able to escape the scene of the strongest one's father, the little brat left me this." Porter lifted his jet-black bane to reveal his scar over his left eyebrow. Porter said, "And he did it with a surfboard."
Giovanni asked, "Ah, you've done in the father of a surfer trainer?" Porter said, "The boy's name is Marty Waterflower; he was the son of the VERY late John Waterflower." He pressed a few buttons on the table... bringing up a holographic profile of Marty! Porter continued, "My plan is this; we lure the Resistance into a trap, with little Martin on the warpath, because I'll be there. My executive, Joan Lucifurious, will also be there... to hypnotize the poor man to bring out... the darkness that exists within him." Domino figured out his plan, "That way, we can turn that hunky surfer into one of us!"
Joan Lucifurious was dressed in the typical gothic type: white face makeup, black eyeliner, etc. Her hair is black as night and is like a long pair of bat wings that hung from the back of her head! Joan Lucifurious said, "Or better yet, use the power that exists within him. It's been recently discovered that it isn't the Pokémon or humans whose power are superior... it's the power of their own teamwork. I can fuse the pathetic men under my spell and set them against their allies. As well as combine their energies of themselves and Pokémon together to perform superiorly incredible attacks!"
Porter finished, "And the best news is, that Marty has a Koropokkia." Giovanni got interested, "They exist?" Porter said, "As well as their basic forms, the Koropokky!" Oakley smiled, "I've heard of them, they may be small but they can cause big trouble."
Giovanni frowned as he asked, "And the bait to lure the Resistance?" Porter said, "We use civilians from around the world and the children at the country in one place as bait. We kidnap them and set them in one area, so they can try to rescue them. We'll use Joan and me to lure in little Marty." Joan said, "When the Resistance hears this bad news, they may suspect a trap. But they won't notice that the scars embedded onto the brain of the wounded Waterflower boy will be the key to their defeat. Team Hunter will notice us there, so they will approach carefully. When the children are rescued, we psychically attack Marty... he clutches his chest and his head... negating all memories of any goodness inside him or any of his Pokémon and then——"
Tyson (from "Talking 'Bout An Evolution") shouted, "ZAP! The green-haired child is ours!" Porter proudly said, "And with that trick, we can use Marty's super attack against everything he used to stand for!" Giovanni grinned an evil grin, "Prepare the devil circus... the kids aren't going home today!"
A day later... at the main World Resistance base... Misty & the others were talking about their next plan when suddenly... Marty shouted to his comrades, "Misty, guys! I've got a call from outpost! The countryside is taken!" May turned pale with concern, "Max? He's dead?" Marty said, "No, he's kidnapped!" Misty asked, "But why?" Marty answered, "To kill us all. But, I know who's going to be there. And nothing's gonna stop me! It's Porter!" Misty asked, "The Porter that killed our parents?" Marty nodded, "The one and only."
Blade's voice from out of nowhere said to them, "You don't know who they could TRULY be after." They turned in the direction of Blade's voice to see him. He was standing there, along with Scarlet Python, Blue Rose, Solar Charmer, Knight, Amazon, & their Pokémon. Misty asked them, "Team Hunter! Who could Porter truly be after?" Blue Rose answered, "Your brother, Marty."
Everyone looked at Marty... then back at Team Hunter, who aren't there anymore!
(A.N.: Think of it as the phantom vision ninja technique.)
Marty thought, "Me? What would Porter want with me?"
It took two days, but they made it to Cerulean City... the Waterflower' hometown, devastated by the work of W.D.R. and left being abandoned. Marty looked ahead, he's found the kids! Marty said to the others, "It looks too easy."
As they took the noncombatant women and kids in a safer location–– Max asked May, "Where's this Marty Waterflower?" May pointed to Marty, "Right there, Max. Why?" Max screamed to Marty, "MARTY, IT'S A TRAP!!!" Marty's eyes narrowed, "I knew it."
Marty didn't even care one bit if it's a trap; he looked around him. He's finally got Porter in his sight, which is standing horizontally away from him by 30 feet! Marty frowned and grinned at Porter, "Hello, Porter. You've killed my parents. Prepare to die." Porter grinned, "Hello, Mr. Martin. Prepare to join us." Marty frowned, "Never." Joan's voice was heard, "You have no choice in the matter."
Joan Lucifurious appeared before Marty, she seduced him with her hypnotizing gaze. She said to him, "You're a man of unrelenting evil! Awaken the darkness within you! Reveal to us all your darkest thoughts!"
Marty looked in them way too long... he suddenly hung his head forward. As he lifted his head up again... his eyes glared with evil! He took off his headband... to reveal an illuminating tattoo-like red eye mark on his forehead, his hair morphed in shape: shoulder length, kind of spiky, it's still seaweed green as usual, the hair in front of his forehead formed into banes like angelic wings, and the hair from behind him just hung from the back of his head to in front of his shoulders (think of a Marik Ishtar style).
Marty spoke in an evil voice, "What shall I do now, mistress?"
The World Resistance became devastated, one of their best soldiers turned evil! Misty silently said, "Marty. No." Joan smiled, "Unleash your ultimate attack."
Marty's hair morphed shape again! This time to have the wing-like banes spread farther out, and his hair spikes out like a ball of spikes (think like Yami Marik) Marty spoke with a voice that is deeper and more evil sounding, "As you wish!"
Marty brought out the Pokémon he's got with him: Koropokkia, Gyarados, Blastoise, Feraligatr, Swampert, & Wailord. Even the sweet expression on Koropokkia's face switched to an evil grin!
Misty cried, "Is Marty... gone?"
Amazon's voice was heard, "They're possessing him." Misty & the others looked to the right, and found the famous five of Team Hunter; Blade, Knight, Amazon, Scarlet Python, & Blue Rose (Pokémon excluded). Amazon explained, "Now that he's mentally scarred by the death of your parents." Blue Rose followed, "And what's worse is that his Pokémon are now of one mind, one body, one goal, and one soul, along with him!" Blade added in, "This is beyond just a battle! He's going to hit everything with all the mana he and his team has got!"
Misty asked, "What is his ultimate attack?"
The Pokémon of Marty Waterflower formed a circle around him. Blue auras flared from each of the souls of those Pokémon & Marty himself. The blue auras flowed brightly from the Pokémon and into Marty's body! The seven souls became incased in an aquatic orb of blue mana... slowly, but powerfully the orb grew bigger and bigger!
Misty began to cower, "What's happening?" May followed, "I could be wrong, but I think that it's just a small sample of Marty's power." Another Pokémon came into the sphere from above; a small Kyogre! Pokémon from around came around to see the horrid chaos!
Max shouted, "That's impossible!" Brock agreed with Max, "Yeah, all records state that there's only one Kyogre in the world!" May followed, "And shouldn't Kyogre be even bigger than that?" Knight explains, "Sometimes, even the most powerful of them all need some company and to have descendants. (It means "There are others like the legendary Pokémon around, they're just not that common.")"
Marty shouted, "Drizzle!" As Marty's Kyogre hovered above its master, rain poured from the sky!
Marty shouted, "Torrent!" That little rainstorm turned into a tremendous monsoon within a minute, along with a flood that placed everyone up to his or her lower lips in water!
Marty shouted, "Natural Lesson!" Marty's army suit exploded into pieces, revealing an opened blue-and-white Hawaiian style shirt with matching shorts!
Marty shouted, "Mystic Water!" The mystic water pendants worn around Marty & his Pokémon are glowing like bright stars!
Marty said, "And now, with the power of my soul and the souls of my six Pokémon and my leader Pokémon, Kyogre, I'll initiate my mightiest attack of all!"
Blade yelled out, "Here it comes!"
Marty cupped his hands together... and spoke the words, "Darkness beyond deepest depth, deeper than the deepest sea; is where your power grows! Thou who was buried from all knowledge of legend! Lord of the Sea, shining like light upon the Dark Sea of Chaos, I call upon thee, swear myself to thee! Let the fools who stand before us all be destroyed by the power we all possess!"
Amazon began to panic, "He wouldn't!" Misty asked Amazon, "You know this battle spell, Amazon?" Amazon nodded, "It's the Water Dragon attack; one of the most powerful water-based attacks ever!" Daisy panicked, "WHAT???" Violet asked, "You mean like––"Lily finished, "Our only brother is going to destroy this city in one blow?" Amazon added in, "And everyone and everything in Kanto and Johto, judging from all this battle aura and water energy!"
Gary screamed in despair, "OH, GOD! WE'RE DOOMED!!!"
Marty shouted out, "WATER DRAGON!!" All the water around everyone rushed up and formed into a colossal serpentine leviathan made of water! Its huge gaping jaws flowed with even more water! Brock said, "If we attack, that water elemental will kill us all. If we don't attack, it still will kill us all by attacking us!" Knight corrected Brock, "Or maybe not, remember this: beast-shaped attacks such as the Water Dragon can be used as an extra Pokémon technique, etc. It doesn't have to attack to kill us; it can just drool out a torrential waterfall." Amazon added in, "Not to mention these kinds of attacks are hard to master for common Pokémon masters."
Duplica screamed in Knight's face, "KNIGHT, HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUPIDLY CALM ALL THE TIME???"
Misty said to her one and only brother, "Marty, dear brother, if you're truly gone... I want you to know... I love you."
Porter, Joan, & Marty laughed out loud like crazy, in an evil sense of the word. Porter & Joan commanded Marty in unison, "Finish them all!"
Marty & his Pokémon shouted in unison, "Water Dragon, Hydro Cannon attack!"
Everyone in the World Resistance is about to close his/her eyes in fear, but the most amazing thing is happening: Marty's Water Dragon about-faced and directed its attack on Joan!
Porter watched in horror as he saw his friend die in that attack, "Joan! What went wrong?" Marty's red mark on his forehead and his hairstyle returned back to normal (when he doesn't have a headband on)! Marty & his Pokémon said in unison (while their shape & voices returning to normal), "We'll tell you what you fool, your girlfriend, and all of her psychic Pokémon's, power can never seduce the power of the love that's shared in my family!"
Blade held a fist up in the air for joy, "Yes! Marty was never tricked!"
Porter was outraged, "What? Your scars are fully healed by your family's love?" Marty grinned, "Exactly!" Marty's Kyogre roared ("That's right, bucko!" Koropokkia shouted, "Koro! ("You jerk!")" Marty's Gyarados roared ("Eat our sea dust!")! Blastoise growled, "Blastoise! ("Time for a shell shock, dude!")" Feraligatr growled, "Feraligatr! ("Go to hell!")" Swampert growled, "Swampert! ("Right where you belong!")" Wailord sand out, "Wail! ("Die!")"
Misty said, "I'll help you!" Misty's own power fueled Marty's! Daisy, Violet, & Lily joined in unison, "Like, totally us too!" The Sensational Sisters of Cerulean City circled their brother and fueled Marty's power with even more power! Their Gym's Pokémon and personal Pokémon came to help out too!
Marty said, "Time to unleash an even greater attack!" Then the Waterflower gamily & their Pokémon shouted in unison, "WATER DRAGONS!!!" More water exploded from everywhere and formed many more Water Dragons, which accompanied Marty's primary Water Dragon!
Amazon was surprised, "Whoa! They discovered an attack greater than the Water Dragon!"
The Waterflower family & their Pokémon shouted in unison, "WATER DRAGONS, UNITE YOUR ATTACKS INTO THE ULTIMATE WATER BATTLE STRIKE! MEGA DELUGE!"
All of their Water Dragons shouted out, "MEGA DELUGE!!!" With one mighty tidal wave... the battle is won. At dawn's first light... Team Hunter left the Resistance to let them see the new Cerulean City, just like a Venice and Paris mixture was added into it: the canals, the docks, etc.!
Misty sighed at the new sight of her hometown, "Wow, our hometown, new and improved." Marty found a letter in his left shirt pocket and read it out loud––
"Dear Resistance,
Due to the extreme damage you've caused to one of your own cities, we've decided to fix it with a few new details. We hope future generations will appreciate this gift.
Your allies, Team Hunter!
P.S. The war still goes on, so expect the W.D.R. to attack again." Well, at least, we've saved the day.
Daisy said, "And the Sensational Sisters & Benevolent Brother." Misty got confused, "Benevolent Brother?" Marty asked, "And are you leaving Misty-Chan out?" Daisy, Violet, & Lily asked their brother, "Misty-Chan?"
Marty nodded, "Yes, as in 'Cute Little Sister Misty'."
Misty let a lot of tears escape from her eyes, but she is pleased in what her brother called her. She came into his arms as they embraced. Misty cried in happiness as she said, "Oh, Oniisan! ("Big Brother" in Japanese)" Marty followed in his sister's emotions, "Misty-Chan." This happy moment is one to be remembered forever.
