No way, I have the official soundtrack too! I've only heard the song "Pikachu's Goodbye" only once sung by a man through the episode, but its kewl when the woman sings it, too! Okay, don't own Pokemon, enjoy!
Chapter 32: Prehistoric Pokemon Attack
Angelina had been pedaling through her journey down the reddish sand covered ground. She was now on her way to Cinnabar Island, but she was getting exhausted from riding for so many hours she had to stop. She pulled out a bottle of water from her backpack and drank half of it. Then she leaned up against a rock and looked at the tall jagged rock peaks that dotted the landscape, known to all as Grampa Canyon.
Angelina then heard a familiar voice to her right ask, "Hey, what's going on down there?" she turned around and saw Ash and friends watching a huge crowd of people hiking down the rocky trail in front of them. They were heading down to the bottom of the canyon carrying shovels and picks.
"I wonder what's everyone doing with those picks and shovels?" Ash asked.
"Don't you know anything?" another familiar, but very snobbish and nasally voice yelled. "Ash, not only late as usual, but clueless as well."
Angelina narrowed her eyes as Gary Oak appeared behind Ash. He was dressed like an explorer in boots, a brown jacket with a white collared shirt underneath, and brown khaki pants. There was a leather bag attached to his brown belt, and a wide-brimmed hat covered his brown spiky hair.
"Hey, it's Gary!" Ash exclaimed.
A small smile had snuck onto Angelina's face as she observed Gary. 'Not bad, except for his attitude.'
"Oh, but why are you dressed like that?" Ash asked curiously.
"Ha, don't tell me you never heard about the Pokemon discovery." Gary scoffed. "Even a nerd like you should've heard about the great fossil rush."
"The great fossil rush?" Ash and friends asked.
'Hmm,' Angelina seemed interested.
"Gary, Gary! He's our man! If he can't find them, no one can!" called out the group of cheerleaders who always followed Gary around.
"Thank you, thank you to all my loyal fans!" Gary waved to the girls as Angelina rolled her eyes and Ash looked on very annoyed. "I gotta go, I gotta find all the fossils I can before anyone else does." He said, then sneering at Ash. "Can't waste all my precious time hanging around with a loser like you." He ran off.
"Grr, loser!" Ash yelled, and Angelina didn't blame him for being mad.
"Easy!" Brock said, holding Ash back.
"Ash!" Misty warned.
"Grr, that know-it-all!" Ash cursed and pushed his friends. "I'm gonna find a Pokemon fossil before Gary starts digging. That'll show him who the real loser is."
'You go, Ash.' Angelina grinned.
Brock frowned. "I don't feel right about digging up old fossils. Especially after they've been resting in the earth for such a long time."
"If they've been lying underground for thousands of years, maybe they'd like a little fresh air." Misty suggested.
"I think it's your brain that needs fresh air." Ash snickered.
"Who asked you?" Misty glared.
Angelina giggled, watching Ash and friends walk away. She headed down to the fossil rush where people were digging. No sooner, Gary was found picking at the ground.
"Gary!"
The trainer looked up and saw Angelina walking his way, he smiled. "Hey there, Angel-cake. Come to watch me become famous?"
"Yeah Gary," Angelina laughed. "When Grumpig fly."
"Huh?" Gary raised an eyebrow.
Angelina sighed, "Nevermind," she waved.
Gary shrugged and resumed back to digging, he then pulled out of the ground a chukcy gray lump. "Success! My first Pokemon fossil!"
"Yea!" cheered the girls. "Gary, Gary! He's the best! Found a fossil before the rest! Go Gary!"
Suddenly, the chunky lump was taken by an old man with a bald head and a large gray mustache. He examined that gray lump carefully. "Hmmm!"
"Impressive, isn't it?" Gary asked. "Found it on my very first try. Looks like a brain from an extinct Pokemon."
The old man cleared his throat. "This is-"
"A brain?" Gary suggested hopefully.
"Fossilized Pokemon manure." The old man replied.
"Huh, ahh!" Gary face-faulted, his cheerleaders groaned.
Angelina shuddered in disgust. "Famous gone downhill, real nice Gary." She walked off until she saw Misty and Brock run toward her. "What's wrong?"
"You're not going to believe this!" Misty exclaimed.
"It's Team Rocket!" Brock said, almost out of breath. "They've hidden dynamite somewhere in Grampa Canyon and Ash is trying to put out the fuse!"
There was a loud explosion and the canyon shook; coming from in front of Angelina, Misty, and Brock.
"Lead the way," Angelina said, running with Misty and Brock to the site of the explosion.
"We're too late!" Misty cried.
The three teenagers looked at the giant pile of rocks on the canyon floor.
"The explosion must have caused a rock slide." Brock explained.
"I can see that," Angelina observed. "But where are Ash and Team Rocket?"
Brock frowned and looked at the rocks. "They must have been…. buried."
"Then let's start digging!" Misty cried.
They began puching the heavy rocks out of the way. Suddenly, they heard a faint coughing sound. A small head pushed through the rocks. It was Squirtle, the water Pokemon was covered with dirt.
"Squirtle!" Angelina cried. "Are you all right?"
"Squirtle," the Pokemon replied. "Squirtle, Squirtle, Squirtle!"
Angelina understood what the Turtle Pokemon was saying. "Ash and the others fell through a hole in the canyon floor! The rocks are blocking the hole! It's their only way out."
"We've got to get help!" Brock said.
"I'll go," Misty offered. "You and Angelina, and Squirtle keep digging!" She then raced up the trail and disappeared, leaving Angelina and Brock to move the rocks from the hole.
Minutes later, Misty has returned with other fossil hunters and they all help out (including Gary). Officer Jenny was leading the effort.
"Keep tossing those rocks aside," Jenny ordered. "We're almost there."
Angelina looked at the heavy boulders on the rock pile. "We'll never move these ourselves."
Brock took out a Pokeball and threw it. "I know what to do. Geodude, go!"
Geodude appeared, the rock Pokemon was gray and looked like a round boulder with two strong arms.
"Geodude! Help us move this pile of rocks!" Brock commanded.
Geodude began lifting up the heavy rocks and tossing them aside.
"You'd better hold on, Ash." Misty said. "You still owe me a new bike."
Soon, the rocks were moved and Angelina peered into the hole. "Ash! Are you there?"
"Get us out of here!" Ash cried. "And hurry!"
No later than that was said, everyone ran from the hole as a large Pokemon with leathery gray wings and sharp teeth burst through the loosened rock. It was carrying Ash in its claws while Charmeleon and Pikachu were hanging onto its tail.
The force sent Pikachu and Charmeleon sprawling to the ground, Ash was still in the mysterious Pokemon's grasp.
"What Pokemon is that!" Angelina took out her Pokedex and pointed it at the flying Pokemon.
"Aerodactyl, the extinct-flying Pokemon," Dexette replied. "Its hard fangs and sharp claws suggest that it was a carnivore."
"Pikachu!" Pikachu cried urgently. "Pikachu!"
"You guys!" Angelina turned to Misty and Brock. "We've got to save Ash before he becomes Aerodactyl's dinner!"
"Somebody get me down!" Ash called out as Aerodactyl wouldn't release him and flew high above the canyon floor, landing on a tall rocky peak.
"What should we do?" Misty asked worriedly.
"Jiggly," said a small voice.
Angelina, Misty, and Brock spun around. It was Jigglypuff, the singing Pokemon.
"Why's Jigglypuff here?" Brock asked.
"Don't you see?" Angelina replied. "Jigglypuff can help us out!"
"Right," Misty added. "We'll get Jigglypuff to sing its slumber song so Aerodactyl will fall asleep."
"Good idea!" Brock agreed.
Misty turned to Jigglypuff. "If you help us out now, later we'll listen to your song as much as you want."
"Puff, Jigglypuff!" Jigglypuff nodded.
"Hey, look at Charmeleon!" Brock pointed.
Angelina watched the fire Pokemon staring up at Aerodactyl, it stomped its feet on the ground. Then, it let out an angry roar and began to glow white.
"Oh my gosh!" Angelina gasped. "Charmeleon's evolving into Charizard!"
Charmeleon was no more as the light faded and revealed a large flying Pokemon with huge wings and a flaming tail. Charizard spat a stream of red flame from his mouth, he looked at Aerodactyl as it was about to take a bite out of Ash. He roared again, using his wings to chase after the prehistoric Pokemon.
Aerodactyl saw Charizard coming; it picked up Ash and flew off the perch. Charizard flew behind Aerodactyl, Angelina could tell Ash was saying something in mid-air.
"You think Charmeleon evolved just so he could rescue Ash?" Angelina asked.
"Well to be honest, Charmeleon has been disrespectful lately." Brock said. "I think he doesn't want Ash as his trainer."
"No way!" Angelina was shocked. "Since he was a Charmander, remember when-"
"Pokemon have different personalities and attitude within their evolutions," Brock explained. "Depends on how the Pokemon is treated by the trainer."
"Yaaaaa!" Ash cried.
Charizard was blasting fire at Aerodactyl, the flames scorched Ash a few times as Aerodactyl was just barely dodging them.
"Somebody help me!" Ash yelled.
"Jigglypuff! Please sing your slumber song now." Misty pleaded.
Jigglypuff puffed up its round pink body. It hopped up on a rock and took out its microphone, the strange melody began to fill the canyon.
"Jig-guh-lee-puff, jig-guh-lee-ee-ee-puff," the Pokemon sang.
Misty felt her eyes grow heavy. Around her, Brock and the other fossil hunters looked tired, too. Angelina, however, just yawned and was feeling the effects from Jigglypuff's singing. The song was pretty, yet she didn't know how much longer she'd stay awake. She looked up drowsily, Aerodactyl was snoozing also; its grip loosened on Ash and he was already sleeping and falling toward the ground. Charizard zipped underneath Aerodactyl and Ash landed softly on the Fire Pokemon's back. Aerodactyl plummeted to the ground and fell through the hole in the canyon floor. The ground shook and more rocks piled onto the hole. Jigglypuff's song had grown stronger. Charizard landed gently on the ground, Ash rolled of his back and slept peacefully.
Angelina began to walk towards Ash, she had to know if he was all right, but she passed out on the ground as Jigglypuff's song finally overpowered her. She awoke many hours later and looked around as everyone else was awaking. She turned and saw Ash wide awake and holding an egg, she blinked and stared in wonder. The egg was white, covered with red-and-blue triangles.
"Hey Ash!" Angelina waved and rushed up to him, she noticed there was black marker on his face and guessed the same was on hers. "You're all right!"
"I'm better than all right." Ash said, holding out the egg. "Look what I found!"
"No way! Is that what I think it is?" Angelina said, taking the egg and touching its smooth shell. It was heavy and felt warm, too- like there might be something inside.
Memories were flooding back to her mind from her first Pokemon journey. She received the Pokemon egg from Professor Elm and Mr. Pokemon, whom were both doing research and discovery of Pokemon eggs. Although Mr. Pokemon received the egg from Jeremy's grandparents, the Day Care couple in Goldenrod City, Angelina made a visit to them when the egg finally hatched into a Togepi and was happy to name the sweet creature Bachiko and keep the Pokemon throughout her adventures in Johto. It finally evolved into a Togetic after it was attemptedly kidnapped by a Rocket in the Ice Cave, and it's being watched over, along with all her other Pokemon, by Professor Oak at his Laboratory.
The scientist from the fossil hunt approached Ash and Angelina. He looked at the egg through his thick glasses and studied it carefully. "This is no fossil," he said. "But I should congratulate you, young man. It seems you've found a very rare Pokemon egg!"
"Did you hear that? I found a rare Pokemon egg!" Ash yelled.
A crowd of fossil hunters formed around Ash, he looked through the crowd and spotted Gary.
"Hey Gary, what do you think of my egg?" Ash bragged. "It sure is better than what I heard that you dug up earlier."
Gary shrugged. "You got a lucky break, twerp. You've still got a long way to go before you become a better Pokemon trainer than me." He then stomped away with his cheerleaders following.
The other fossil hunters began to break up and gather near another area where Officer Jenny was standing on top of a huge rock. Ash placed the egg in his backpack, he and Angelina finally caught up with Brock, Misty, and Pikachu. Charizard and Squirtle were returned to their Pokeballs.
Officer Jenny was now making an announcement on a megaphone. A black eye and mustache were scribbled on her face with a black marker. "Some of you are claiming you saw a prehistoric Pokemon here in the canyon. That is ridiculous! Let me asure you it was only a dream caused by Jigglypuff's song."
"More like a nightmare to me." Ash said.
"Also," Jenny continued. "Due to the danger of further cave collapses in the canyon, no more digging will be permitted."
"No more digging!" Ash cried.
"That Aerodactyl sure didn't seem like a dream." Gary pondered in thought.
"Gary is the best! Gary beats the rest! He is the best from east to west!" the cheerleaders chanted.
"I guess they're right!" Gary agreed while Ash and his friends laugh un-heardly.
Later, Angelina gets on her bike and rides down the dirt path toward her next destination; Ash, Misty, and Brock were walking ahead.
"Where did Jigglypuff go?" Ash asked.
"Were you hoping for an encore?" Brock chuckled.
"Well at least it deserves to take a bow." Ash replied. "Jigglypuff and Charizard really saved the day this time."
"That Aerodactyl was one of a kind," Misty said. "It's too bad you couldn't capture it, Ash."
"But I think Aerodactyl and the others would be happier just going back to sleep." Brock stated.
"Maybe you're right." Misty agreed.
"Hey, I almost forgot," Ash said, kneeling down and opening his backpack. He pulled out the white egg covered in red-and-blue triangles. "I found this when I woke up."
Angelina giggled as she came to a stop near Brock and Misty, they were surprised and in awe. "Surprise, surprise!"
"So you knew about the egg, too?" Misty asked.
"Sure," Angelina nodded. "I was there when Ash announced to the other fossil hunters that he found a rare Pokemon egg. I think even Gary is jealous."
"Ash, are you sure it's all right for you to just take that?" Brock asked.
"What do you mean?" Ash zipped up his backpack and got to his feet, still holding the egg. "You think I should've just left it with Nurse Joy?"
Brock takes the egg and holds it. "Okay Ash, I'll raise it for you."
"But I can raise it myself." Ash insisted.
"You would've dropped it and broken it anyway." Misty said.
"Hey, I would not!" Ash glared.
Brock and Misty run down the path with the egg in hand, while reassuring, "Don't worry, Ash! I'll take good care of it!"
"Hey, give that back!" Ash chased after them. "Finders keepers!"
"Guys! Wait up!" Angelina yelled, getting back on her bike and pedaled to catch up. "I'm coming, too!"
And so, our heroes leave Grampa Canyon, resting place of the ancient Pokemon, with a souvenir.
'Hmm, we should've just bought a t-shirt instead.' Angelina laughed in thought and pedaled at a safe distance from Ash and friends.
