Sorry for the delay, I have just been very bussssssssy! And ignore the titles when you use the chapter finder. I am working with something totally new. Next chapter will involve Pokemon Morphs and clues to what Lawrence is really up to.
Chapter 11
To Catch A Yeerk-Infested Thief (Part 1)
Misty and Brock woke up to a bright morning. This day was going to be great but then they remember that there was a threat in this world. Lawrence the III was planning something and it wasn't good. It might not involve Legendaries but it was going to cause more harm than what he did back in their world. They both stretched out and climbed down the ladder. They turned to meet Cassie's mom. Before they went to sleep, Cassie invited them to meet her parents. It was a good idea since it would be unusual for a couple of strangers to walk into the kitchen. Although Misty thought, it was more unusual that Cassie didn't tell them about Ax but an alien was probably a more shock than two strangers.
"So how did you two sleep?" Cassie's mom asked.
"Fine, it was the best sleep I have had in my life." Brock said.
"Yeah, I truly had the best beauty sleep in years." Misty commented.
"Well, what do you two and your little creature want for breakfast?" Cassie's mom asked.
"Ma'm, don't worry about us. I can make breakfast for both of us." Brock said.
"No, I insist. Plus you are our guest. I can't let guest slave away in the kitchen." Cassie's mom said while trying to get Brock and Misty to relax.
"Don't worry. Brock is an excellent cook. I've known that over the past few years." Misty responded.
Cassie's mom could argue for eternity but she realized that it would be nice to have breakfast served by someone else. Plus she was curious about the little creature following them. She had never seen a creature like it on Earth. Brock headed towards the kitchen while Misty with Togepi in her hands was left with Cassie's mom. Misty noticed that Cassie's mom was looking at Togepi. It was the same glare coming from the Animorphs.
"Excuse me, but what is the creature? I have never seen it before." Cassie's mom asked.
"Before I answer that, can you tell me your name? It is kind of silly to call you Cassie's Mom or Ma'm." Misty asked back.
"Certainly, my name is Delia. You could have asked earlier but I guess the thought never came up." She said.
"Ok, Delia, this is Togepi. This is my pokemon. We found Togepi back in Kanto. Ash was the one who found the egg but Togepi recognizes me as her trainer." Misty explained.
"And Ash is who?" Delia asked.
"Ash is the one who brought this group together. Misty met him when he 'destroyed' her bike and I met him he was challenging me to a pokemon match. I am a Pokemon Gym Leader" Brock explained.
"Well although all of this sound fascinating, I don't discuss anymore until I have had breakfast." Delia said.
"Well, lead me to the kitchen." Brock said.
The three of them headed towards the kitchen. Already Brock was planning to cook up a delightful breakfast. Misty wondered where Cassie was. Maybe Cassie was with her friends planning how to stop Lawrence. At least they wouldn't have to deal with his giant flying machine this time. That would be easily noticed if he did. Anybody from this world see it and it would be on the news … unless the Yeerks got to the reporters and were covering Lawrence the III's actions. But still even his machine would be useless here. That machine was used to capture legendaries and what good what it would do.
"By the way Delia, you don't have any hash browns or pancake mix?" Brock asked.
"Right cupboard top shelf above the microwave. Be careful not to grab the animal food. We keep some food inside just in case we have to treat injured animals inside." Delia said.
Brock walked towards the cupboards and smiled. Misty kept on forgetting that he was a breeder. The sound of animal food excited him because he made Pokemon Food for the group's pokemon. That brought her down because she was worried about Ash. Sure Ash did get into tough situations but Ash never got into anything like this. Misty never got into a situation like this before either. Already Misty could smell and hear the sound of eggs sizzling on a pan in the kitchen. Misty wondered Brock was making with eggs. He had made so many things in the past so it was hard to remember what was her favorite egg dish from Brock. Misty turned around and saw Cassie approaching them.
"Hey Cassie!" Misty waved.
"Hey Misty, how did you sleep? I know sleeping on hay isn't very comfortable." Cassie replied.
"That's okay. I have slept on the ground many times on Ash's journey. Sleeping on straw is uncomfortable but it isn't that bad." Misty replied back.
"So do you think later this afternoon we can try to morph some pokemon? I mean if you two have enough pokemon, that is?" Cassie asked.
"Sure, we have caught plenty of pokemon since the journey began. So at the same meeting, do you think we can be briefed on what Lawrence the III is up to? It seems like you left some details out." Misty smirked as she asked.
"But how did you know we were keeping a secret from you two?" Cassie asked.
"Well, Lawrence is up to something and Museums aren't his normal heist. I am guessing our world is involved with your world even more. Hopefully, it won't involve legendaries."
"I guess I was too obvious. I don't know. We have the list of the items stolen but they don't make any sense. The museums hit are all things dealing with ancient artifacts. You'd think you would want something newer if you are going to see steal something." Cassie explained with a confused state.
"Unless these items have a connection. What if he is trying to open a portal to our world? He could be helping the Yeerks with a fail-proof plan. He could lead them right to the legendary Pokemon. With them at the Yeerk's possession, your enemies will be tougher than ever because Legendary Pokemon are known to be almost invincible." Brock suggested.
"But how can ancient artifacts open a portal? I don't understand Alien Technology but it makes more sense. It deals with science while artifacts deal with magic. I don't understand magic." Cassie asked.
"You don't have to understand magic. Magic is a mysterious unknown that no scientist could ever explain. What we need to know is what is his next heist. If we can get to the item first, we can fully understand what he is going to do." Misty suggested also.
"Come on, follow me." Cassie said.
The two of them followed Cassie towards another part of the barn. There was the gang ready for the meeting. Of course all of them were surprised to see Misty and Brock there but Cassie explained that they knew about the secret.
"That is good. At least we can pull off our plan without a hitch. We just learned that Lawrence is going to hit not a museum but an archaeological site in Egypt. Ax still doesn't understand why but we don't know why either." Jake explained.
"How do you know this?" Misty asked.
"Let's just say we had top agents who know the Yeerk's certain move. The problem is that it will be kind of hard to get to Egypt. I mean it is a long flight and none of our morphs can last that long. Not to mention, that there is no where to land halfway during our de-morphing process." Jake said with a moan.
"Actually, I just have the answer. Mom just won a contest to visit Egypt. It includes a limited amount but enough for all of us to go. And it is on a private jet so anybody can morph or de-morph without a problem." Cassie explained.
"But will she give it to you?" Marco asked.
"She already did. She said I needed a vacation and this was the best idea." Cassie explained.
"That is great but we probably should at least try out of some of the Pokemon morphs. Maybe we should at least try out a different type of pokemon." Jake suggested.
Misty and Brock nodded their heads. The group went to behind the barn. According to the size count, there were 6 of them. So they decided to release 3 each. It is a good thing misty had caught some new pokemon because most of her pokemon were water types that weren't land-based creatures. Misty threw out the three pokemon and Brock released his three. On Misty's side, there was Politoed, Vaporeon and Blastoise. Brock released Crobat, Machoke, and Onix. The group looked at all of them including Onix.
"What a unique variety. But Misty, you have three pokemon that seem the same type, which is water-type pokemon. Am I right?" Cassie asked.
"Misty is a big fan of Water-Type Pokemon. But what shocks me is that she has a Vaporeon and a Blastoise. Where did you get that Blastoise?" Brock explained and turned towards Misty.
"There are things that you don't know about me, Brock." Misty said while trying to snicker.
"Not to mention that Onix is a kind of big, do you think you can substitute Onix for another pokemon?" Cassie explained.
"Sure, I will. I thought that Onix was too big." Brock said while brushing his head.
Brock recalled Onix into its pokeball. Brock snickered because his Onix was puny to the one that Bruno caught. He remembered that adventure. Brock shook his head and pulled out another pokeball. This was going to a surprise to Misty especially after that incident with the Ninetales but he did have a Vulpix for a while. This wasn't the same Vulpix but it was close to one that he took care off. He released the pokemon.
"Ninetales! I can't believe you have that pokemon!" Misty said.
"It is quite a beautiful creature. Ninetales is interesting. It looks like something out of a story book." Cassie said while examining Ninetales.
I get dibs on Crobat. Tobias shouted.
"Well, that isn't a surprise. It might not be a bird but it still flies." Marco chuckled.
The rest of the group decided. Marco would morph Machoke since Rachael was going to morph Blastoise. Ax would morph Ninetales, Jake would morph Politoed and Cassie would morph Vaporeon. The weird part was that one would think that Rachael would want to become a Machoke. But maybe she saw that Blastoise was stronger.
"Guys, let's get going. We are going to need to get control of these morphs in the next few days. I would want to take extra time but with the Yeerks, time is very limited." Jake said.
"Well, let's get going then. Let's see how you Animorphs do it so well with Pokemon Morphs." Misty chuckled.
Misty and Brock hoped that the six would be able to handle the powers of Pokemon. But was Lawrence up to? What could be in Egypt that attracted him? Neither of them knew much about ancient Egypt except that there were cases of dark magic there. Was there an artifact that would open a portal between both worlds or were they just going around in circles? The two walked over to watch how this would turn out. Hopefully, everything would go all right.
