Chapter 14

On the Trail of the Twin Terrors and Strange Dimensional Trips.

If you looked at the traveling group, you would find it strange. There were three Rockets, a former Elite Four Trainer, five trainers, a Digimon and an Egyptian God Monster. But that didn't bother Ash or the others. Actually, Ash was curious about Exveemon and Slyfer. He didn't know that other creatures existed inside and outside their world. Maybe Ash could get one of these Duel Monsters or Digital Monsters. I would be cool to train a different sort of creature other than Pokemon.

"So Meowth how did you come across Exveemon and Slyfer?" Ash asked.

"I thought you would never ask. Right after we rejoined Team Rocket, we were given a little vacation break. While I was taking my break, I found a portal to another world. Being curious as all cat pokemon are, I decided to venture forwards." Meowth explained.

"So what happened next?" Ash asked.

"Well, I came across the Digital world. I found out it was right after the Digidestineds had beat Malomyostismon. I found the Digital World incredible. There were some many species of Digimon. I mean they are creatures more powerful than Mewtwo there." Meowth said.

"No wonder. I bet even the Elite Four couldn't beat them." Ash said.

"True. Well, where was I? Oh yes, I started wandering around and this strange human came up to me. He asked me what type of Digimon I was. I told him I wasn't a Digimon but a Pokemon. I explained what Pokemon were. Some of this Digidestineds come over to see me. One of them kept on looking at me. Then he blurted out a thousand questions. This kid name was Izzy and he was very curious." Meowth said.

"Hmmm … it is funny that a pokemon can be mistaken for a Digimon. I wonder why." Ash wondered.

"Well, I think it is because I am the only pokemon that can talk human. Every other pokemon can only speak their name. Since I could talk, I was easily mistaken for a Digimon." Meowth explained.

"I bet it was strange to be called another species. I bet you were being called Meowthmon or Catmon." Ash chuckled.

"Maybe. Well, this strange human who was called Genaii, wanted to see if Pokemon could be able to have a Digimon Partner like the Digidestined. So he took me to his house, which soon became submerged under water. A Veemon appeared with a Digi-vice or D-Three. He gave it to me. A few days later, it worked. I become the first Pokemon Digidestined." Meowth explained.

"Wow, Meowth that's awesome but it doesn't explain how you got to know this Dragon friend of yours." Ash said grinningly.

"Hold your Rapidashes, kid. I am getting there. See right after the Digital Experience, I found another portal. I thought since the last one worked so well, I ought to try this one. I stepped through and landed in this strange land. Suddenly this black dragon came up to me. I thought it was the end of my nine lives." Meowth said while shaking.

"Boy, I would want to be in … your place at that time." Ash stumbled through what he was trying to say.

"Well, then some winged lady came in and stopped the dragon. She picked me up and hugged me. She was ugly though but I couldn't say that. She asked me who I was. I said my name was Meowth and I was a Pokemon. She was interested about Pokemon and I was interested about her and this world. She told me she was called Harpy's Lady and this was the Shadow Realm." Meowth said.

"Shadow Realm? Sounds like a place I wouldn't want to visit." Ash said back to Meowth.

"Well, I explained the whole thing about Pokemon. She was interested. She told me the dark scary dragon was Red Eyes Black Dragon. The dragon apologized in its dragon moans. She said that Red Eyes rarely talk. I wondered if I could learn more about this Shadow Realm and its inhabitants. She explained that Shadow realm was a place for dangerous sorcerers but now it is a home for Duel Monsters. I asked her why it is that these sorcerers haven't found any of these Duel Monsters yet. She said that this part of the Shadow Realm was not part of the normal Shadow Realm. She said that there were two Shadow Realms. The Original one was where the sorcerers battled and the new one is where all Duel Monsters live." Meowth explained.

"Woah, that's enough info to give me a headache. Wait, are you saying this Shadow Realm split? Wow, hey Meowth. I was thinking. Maybe I should get a Digimon and Duel Monster. But continue your story. I want to know how Slyfer and you met." Ash asked.

"You know that is a good idea, kid. I will think about it. I was talking to Harpy's Lady and she thought it would be a good idea for two monsters to join up. She thought if I impressed a powerful creature, it might think of joining me. So she picked me up and flew off. The Red Eyes followed behind her. I tell you kid; I don't like that Red Eyes one bit. It took us a while but we arrived at this eerie area. That's when I met Slyfer. Harpy's Lady introduced us. Slyfer looked at me and look back at Slyfer. I was nervous." Meowth.

"Of course you would be, Meowth. I would be nervous if I was in your place, Meowth." Ash replied while looking over at Slyfer.

"Of course he was. You should have seen him shaking." Exveemon said.

"You were there?" Ash asked.

"No, but Genaii allowed me to watch over Meowth. He said he would return." Exveemon explained.

"Well, I told him about myself and my adventures with my teammates. I told him that I wasn't going to take any of the monsters back to the boss. He agreed to come with me but we needed some vessel to keep him hidden. I told that Pokemon were trapped in Pokeballs. If I could get one and alter it, it could hold Slyfer." Meowth said.

"Wow, you don't have to continue on. I am just getting curious about visiting both worlds." Ash said.

"Ash, Meowth, come over here." Misty shouted.

Meowth, Slyfer, Exveemon and Ash were standing alone while the others were planning something. It wasn't Ash fault that Meowth had an excellent tale to tell. Ash knew that they had to follow The Twin Terrors but it wasn't a bad idea to get some help to defeat these threats to the Pokemon world. The group had a tent set up. Inside the tent, they were planning out their strategy. Ash knew of a good strategy. If he could get a Digimon Partner and Duel Monster, Meowth and he would have an equal chance of teaching the Terrors that you don't mess around with justice.

"I have a strategy." Ash said.

"What is it?" Lorelei asked.

"Well, Meowth was telling about how he got Exveemon and Slyfer. I was wondering. If Meowth could find that same portal, maybe I could do the same." Ash suggested.

"Not a bad idea. I mean two sets of powerful monsters are better than one." Brock said as he nodded.

"Go on, you two but be careful." Lorelei said.

"Don't worry. We will." Both Ash and Meowth said.

"Meowth, take care of yourself." Jessie said.

"Don't hurt yourself. The motto won't be the same without you." James said.

Meowth sighed and left. Ash waved back to the crowd and followed Meowth. Ash knew that this adventure was going was going to be weirder than any other. The rest of the group looked at Ash and Meowth walk off. Then they got back to their plans. They were deciding on how they follow The Twin Terrors.

"Okay, the best thing is to find Trevor and Max. We can't track them or follow them if we don't know where they are." Jessie said.

"Good point. I have been calling all the police stations. I have asked them to call me back if they see any sign of the Twin Terrors." Lorelei said to the others.

"Well at least some one is thinking ahead. At least some one here is drooling. Misty said.

"Well, I am trying to hold back, Misty. Although Lorelei does look pretty, I am holding back." Brock said.

"Yeah, right. Now, let's get back to the heart of the matter. How are we going to stop them? They already have an ally. That Sanfra Venema seems powerful. With both Trevor and Sanfra producing Electricity, how do we protect ourselves?" Misty asked.

"That's where we come in, Misty. Remember how we were able to avoid Pikachu's attacks. Now it is time to share some our secrets." Jessie said.

Jessie and James started to share some of their inventions in the past. They even mentioned of a new weapon that they were coming up with. They both explained detail by detail on how they could not be electrocuted by Pikachu's Electrical Attacks. Everyone took notes and discussed the plans. Everyone hoped that Ash and Meowth would make it back okay. No one knew much about this Digital and Shadow Realm so they feared for Ash and Meowth's lives.

Meanwhile in a field, Ash and Meowth were searching for this mysterious portal. As Meowth explained, it usually appeared in strange areas. Meowth knew it was here thanks to his Digi-vice. Meowth held up his Digi-vice. Exveemon and Slyfer stood behind Ash. Ash was still kind of scared of these dragons whether they are digital or Egyptian dragons but Ash didn't show his fear towards. Animals could smell fear and he didn't want these dragons to think he was a wimp.

"Found it! Follow me guys!" Meowth shouted.

Two Dragons and Ash followed Meowth to a clearing. What they saw couldn't be explained by any scientific reasons. There was some bluish portal in the middle of the sky. It was hanging in midair. Ash was curious about how a portal could just hang in midair but he wanted to see what was on the other side.

"So are we going, Meowth? There is no time like the present." Ash asked.

"Hold your Rapidashes, Kid. I don't want anything bad to happen. All of us will go through in a single order. I will go first. Then you will go next. Finally Exveemon and Slyfer will go last. I want to make sure no one ambushes while we are entering the portal." Meowth explained.

They all entered the portal. It was weird leaving one world and entering another. They exited the portal into another world but Meowth didn't recognize it. He saw three kids tied up and a couple Digimon with Digi-vices in a dome. He saw two strange Digimon. Ash saw the same thing he didn't know what was going on. He told the three monsters to hide until those strange Digimon left. It was a while until Ash got cold. He saw Agunimon and he was someone somehow controlling the weather. The two strange Digimon were distracted. Ash took out an Electric Device. This would recharge Pikachu if Pikachu ran out of Electricity.

"Pikachu, shock the dome. Those kids must Digidestined. We have to help." Ash said.

Pikachu ran up. The weird Digimon saw Pikachu jump on the dome. What they didn't expect Pikachu to do was shock it. Agunimon watched this happen. Lobomon appeared and wondered what that creature was. Pikachu increased the voltage until there was an explosion. Pikachu flew into the air and landed into Ash's arm. The three Digidestined got some how summoned their Digi-vices. The two strange Digimon looked at Ash.

"Who are you?" The blue Digimon said.

"Yes, and what art thou doing here?" The Mirror Digimon said.

"Prepare for trouble and lots of fun!"

"Make that double for everyone!"

"To protect all worlds from devastation."

"To unite all goodness within each universal nation."

"To destroy all evil and unite the love."

"To extend our help to the stars above."

"Ash!"

"Meowth!"

"Team Pokemon shall send you blasting off at the speed of universal light!"

"Surrender now because you don't have a ghost of a chance to fight!"

"Exveemon, that's right!"

"My name is Ranamon and you will pay for interfering with our plans. Boy, is it cold?" She said.

"My name is Mercurymon and I will reflect any attacks you throw at me." He said.

"This Mercurymon kind of reminds me of Wobbuffet." Ash whispered.

"Yeah, but Wobbuffet is probably smarter than this mirror freak." Meowth whispered back.

"Hey, if you don't mind, we will take care of Ranamon and Mercurymon."

Ash and Meowth turned around to see the three captives free. Exveemon must have set them free. The two Digimon were fuming. They glared at Meowth and Ash. Just great, Ash thought. Not only we have to deal with The Twin Terrors but also we have to deal with dangerous Digimon.

"Ranamon, your reign of terror is over. By the way, my name is Zoe." The girl said.

"You might have tried to torture us but your plan failed. By the way, my name is J.P." The well-rounded guy said.

"Playtime is over, you two. By the way, my name is Tommy." The younger boy said.

Then they transformed into Digimon. This amazed ash and Meowth. Humans could now become Digimon, they both thought. This was crazy! They started to attack Ranamon and Mercurymon with the power of weather. Ranamon and Mercurymon ran away while acting frightened. Ash wanted to blast them off with Pikachu but he didn't know how Pokemon powers would affect Digimon. An hour later, the Digidestined finished talking and turned towards Ash, Meowth, Exveemon and Slyfer.

"So we were wondering how you four got here. Oh my name is Takuya. I am able to digivolve into Agunimon." The boy with the goggles said.

"Yeah, you helped us out but we want to know about you. My name is Koji. My Legendary Spirit is Lobomon" The weird looking boy said, "and these two Digimon are Bokomon and Neemon."

"Pleased to meet you. That is a impressive Exveemon behind you and that other thing I don't recognize." Bokomon said.

"Ex-whatmon? Bokomon, who are these people and what is those thing behind them?" Neemon said.

"Neemon, pay attention you dolt." Bokomon said while snapping his pants.

"This is my partner, Meowth. The dragon behind me is Slyfer the Sky Dragon. And this human is Ash." Exveemon explained.

"Partner? That is a weird partner. I thought all Digimon were partner up with humans." Bokomon wondered.

"Let me take that. Normally, they do but Genaii altered it. I am a pokemon something similar to a Digimon. Genaii wanted to test if Pokemon and Digimon would together and it did." Meowth explained back.

"Ah yes, Genaii. I am afraid he is not here. You are a couple years too late." Bokomon said.

"Bokomon, who is this Genaii creature?" Takuya asked.

"Genaii was responsible for helping the Digidestined of the past. This Meowth must have met him during the two time periods. Which period was it?" Bokomon asked.

"If I remember correctly, I arrived right after MaloMystostimon was defeated." Meowth explained.

"Yes, that is correct. I know of a friend who can send you back to MaloMystostimon time but I bet you want to arrive at a time where you left the Digital world." Bokomon.

"Yes, actually I want to arrive right after I left for the Pokemon World." Meowth explained.

"I have a friend who can help us. He is a pokemon just like you. He is hiding out from some hunter!" Bokomon said.

"I think I know who you are talking about but I want to ask you Digidestined a question." Ash asked.

"Sure, ask away, kid." JP said.

"My name is Ash. Back in our world, there are these two Rockets that are causing trouble. They are called The Twin Terrors. I thought after your adventure is over, you could help us!" Ash suggested!

"Sure, tell us more about these terrors of yours and we might be able to help you!" Takuya said as he shook Ash's hand.

So the group headed for the house of this mysterious pokemon, which Ash knew to be Celebi. Ash explained his encounter with The Twin Terrors. He explained what type of Pokemon they used and what abilities they used. He even explained their success to steal the Legendaries from Legendary Falls! Of course Ash had to go over some details about Pokemon.

"That Pikachu of yours is cute! I don't know why anybody would want to steal besides its cuteness!" Zoe said.

"This Pikachu is rare! Its power is incredible. That's why Team Rocket is always after it!" Ash explained.

"Wow, I bet your Pikachu is more powerful than my Human Spirit form Beetlemon. I mean it let off a lot of electricity." J.P said.

"Speaking of Electricity, I almost forgot." Ash said as he started to hook Pikachu up.

"What does that do?" Koji asked.

"It recharges Pikachu's Electricity. It is very helpful when Pikachu uses all of his power up." Ash explained.

"That is interesting. Pokemon are so interesting." Tommy said.

The group arrived at a little village and they headed for a small house. Bokomon knocked at the door and it opened. There was Datamon. He was holding up tools. Bokomon asked Datamon if they could have a chat with the Pokemon. Datamon said yes and the group went inside. There was Celebi the time traveling pokemon. It saw Ash and then it saw Meowth. It growled but Ash stopped it.

"Celebi, now is not the time to get angry. Your legendary friends are being stolen including a fellow Celebi. Giovanni has come up with a new system. Two new Rockets calling themselves The Twin Terrors have caused chaos throughout Kanto, Johto and even Hoenn. Jessie, James and Meowth here are trying to stop it. We need your help." Ash explained to Celebi.

What help do you need? Celebi asked.

"I think we have a way to stop The Twin Terrors but we need to get to the Digital Past. Meowth here obtained a Digimon Partner. I thought we could go back after he left the second time with Veemon or Exveemon. I need a Digimon Partner. Digimon might be the only way to stop Team Rocket for good." Ash suggested.

I understand. I will take you to the event in suggestion. I suggest you get the help of the Legendary Warriors behind you. They might be helpful. Celebi said.

"Trust me, Celebi. That was the first thing or second thing I did before this time traveling plan came to plan." Ash said.

Datamon, keep on working on that contraption. I don't want to be captured and manipulated again. Celebi said.

"Yes, Celebi. It will be ready by the time you get back." Datamon said.

The group left the building. The Legendary Warriors, along with Bokomon and Neemon, waved goodbye and headed off. Celebi started the teleportation process. Meowth, Ash, Exveemon and Slyfer stood next to Celebi. A phase of light filled the area and everything changed it. For a brief second, it felt like time was going backwards. They arrived at last but the digital world was different. There was a bunch of Digidestined that were unknown to them. Celebi waved goodbye and disappeared.

"So do you think it is time to tempt fate, kiddo?" Meowth asked Ash.

"Yes, Meowth. It is time to tempt fate." Ash said as he proceeded towards the Digidestined.
