I know I know...I haven't really updated. I have a ton of schoolwork and not to mention I signed up for tennis! Okay...I'll accept any ideas for the next parts coming up. I'm beginning to develop writer's block (cringes and dodges tennis balls). Bauldie you had better stop throwing those!

Bauldie: MAKE ME! (Obviously on coffee...) NYA!

Okay...read and enjoy...while I do something to torment this clown.

Bauldie: (hears tone and flees) DON'T TAKE MY COFFEE!

(AHEM!) One more thing. I don't really think that this story has anything to do with Dreamscape. Hmm...probably I'll think about how I can merge the two stories. Then again this may be the epilogue of the adventures after Shadow allowed me to enter the Pokemon world. Another thing, you can submit ideas if you want to. It would help keep me from getting into a writer's block and I'll give you credit for it. I would like to thank the reviewers so far. I wouldn't have had the urge to keep this up if it wasn't for them. Okay, read and review.

Virtual Pokemon Insanity

Part 4: A Steel Recollecting

Chapter 1

Olivine City

We had just got to Olivine City. Last night, Ash, Pikachu, Eevee, and I decided that once we got here, this would be the starting point of recalling my adventures. I supposed Jasmine would think I was an impostor but we wouldn't find out just standing around. Okay...back to the plot...

So far...we just got into the city when we discovered a shrine. I keep forgetting what it looks like.

"Hey...what's this?" Misty asked before looking at a description. "Place your prized Pokemon at the feet of the shrine and you'll have good luck for the rest of your journey." Okay...that was really familiar.

"We could use a little more." Ash remarked. Eevee and I felt our blood freeze. Crap...

Pikachu was placed on the shrine. There was a pause but then nothing happened. I guessed it must've been a false alarm, which was until Pikachu got stuck in a cage that burst from the base of the statue.

"WHAT...?" We all yelled in a synchronized manner before we heard laughter and Pikachu went under the statue.

You know the motto, so I'll skip it...

"I cannot believe you twerps fell for it!" Meouth laughed.

"That was the oldest trick in the books!" James shouted.

"Yeah, yeah, and we're about to lose Pikachu..." I responded in time for a Pokeball to fly forwards. Ash, Misty, Brock, and Togepi gave me weird looks. "Not..."

The Poke' ball landed and an iron-snake appeared.

"What's that?!" Ash exclaimed. The Poke'dex immediately explained that it was a Steelix and the evolved form of Onix via an Iron Coat. I noticed that Steelix was really impressive in a "life-size" state (I really could've used sunglasses then...).

"STEELIX, USE IRON TAIL!" A feminine voice shouted. Steelix's tail lit up and split the balloon in two. Jessie lost grip of Pikachu before Ash caught it. The balloon crashed onto the ground before I turned and saw Jasmine standing heroically on a ridge. We both nodded to each other and I released Lugia.

"Lugia, use Aero Blast!" I yelled. The white bird charged up energy before unleashing an oral beam that connected with the generator in the balloon.

"Oh...not again..." Meouth grimaced before the generator exploded.

"So close...so close..." James moaned.

"Doesn't this seem familiar?" Jessie asked in an exasperated tone.

"Yeah, she must've picked it up from the twerps." Meouth responded before he and the others went out of earshot over the horizon.

"Very good Mona." Jasmine said just as she walked down the ridge and Ash released Pikachu from the container. Brock ran over to Jasmine and tried to be romantic.

"Uh...Brock?" Jasmine started.

"Yes my sweet?" Brock asked.

Just seeing Brock fall head over heels is really hysterical for me...

"I've already got a date." Jasmine finished. Brock fell over and let out a sigh.

Especially if he gets dumped in a "split-second" by another girl...

Ash and Misty introduced themselves. I was about to when Jasmine stopped me.

"I already know you Mona."

"Huh?" I blinked.

"You defeated me in a battle, remember?" Jasmine asked.

"Yes...I almost forgot." I sighed. "So how's Amphy?"

"She's doing fine. You really helped out when she was sick the last time you were here." Jasmine responded.

"That's good." I smiled; luckily we didn't have to go through the medicine race again. I could see a confused look on Misty's face since she didn't know what was going on. We probably should've told her about the battle last night.

Chapter 2

If I had an Iron Tail

Once we got to the gym, Ash suggested something that would help: battle Jasmine again.

"Huh?!" I froze in place. I never fought a "REAL" battle before.

"That's a good idea. She might even remember how she did it, even in a one on one battle." Jasmine nodded. Let me rephrase that: Eevee and I were frozen in place. I still had my two Pokemon that KOed Steelix and her Magnemite, but what if she was stronger than last time?

"Are you ready Mona?" Misty asked. Just feeling pressure on my shoulder caused me to jump. I quickly regained myself and stood up.

"Y-yeah...I'm ready." I responded as Jasmine took her place on the other side of the gym. Eevee regained sanity and jumped on the ground next to me.

" I'll go first... " It declared.

"Eevee..." I hissed through my teeth. I knew very well that Eevee couldn't stand a chance due to it being a Normal type and we were facing off with Steel types. "You don't have to!"

" I can...so don't stop me... " Eevee remarked before Jasmine released Steelix. I shook my head. I was the trainer so...

"I CHOOSE...!"I was about to throw a Poke' ball when Eevee jumped onto the field. "Aw for the love of..." I fell over in an anime posture.

"Did she say what I think she said?" Brock asked, starting to drool again.

"I think that's just you..." Misty responded.

"C'mon! You can do it!" Ash yelled.

I grimaced and stood up.

"Fine Eevee...fine..." I muttered. "Eevee, use Agility!" I yelled. Eevee ran towards Steelix at a fast pace.

"Steelix! Use Tackle!" Jasmine ordered. Steelix charged at Eevee.

"Eevee! Get out of the way!" I yelled. Eevee continued running before jumping onto Steelix's head. It was completely the opposite but it was a good idea. Steelix flailed about trying to force Eevee off but the Pokemon kept a firm grip.

"Hang in there!" I yelled, trying to rethink a strategy. There weren't many and I didn't have that much options. It was a one sided battle.

"Steelix, use Iron Tail!" Jasmine yelled. My eyes widened.

"Eevee, JUMP! GET OUT OF THERE!" I shouted. Eevee's eyes widened at the glowing tail streaking at it. "DON'T JUST STAND THERE! RUN FOR IT!" I continued shouting. Eevee pounced, but not a second too soon. Steelix got hit by its own attack and Eevee was somewhat damaged.

"Nice maneuver!" Jasmine confirmed as Steelix corrected itself.

"Uh...thanks..." I shrugged as Eevee got poised again.

" That jump was a doozy. " Eevee responded before straightening itself.

"You're ready to continue?" Jasmine asked. I nodded and Steelix came at full force against Eevee. Eevee got knocked off its feet and landed a few meters away. It panted and I noticed something very particular happening to its tail.

"Eevee, look out!" I yelled seeing Steelix coming again for another lap. Eevee dodged but got struck by one of the spikes protruding from its sides. As it came in contact with Steelix again its tail became brighter and brighter. Eevee continued panting and I saw my chance when Steelix was about to do a final attack.

"EEVEE, IRON TAIL!!!" I shouted. Eevee looked straight at Steelix with a grim look before jumping up. Its tail turned bright white before slamming into Steelix's head. The iron snake flew backwards and crashed into the ground.

"Awesome! Did you see that Iron Tail?" Misty exclaimed.

"I didn't know Eevee could do that." Ash pondered before looking up. "Wait, it was the same thing with the Magnemite! Eevee used the same attack launched at it!"

Steelix came back upright and faced Eevee again. The Pokemon were at a tense moment waiting for the other to fall before Steelix let out a groan and fainted.

"STEELIX!" Jasmine yelled before Eevee crashed onto its side.

" I need a nap... " It moaned before I picked it up.

"Great job Eevee." I rubbed it on the head and continued hanging onto it.

"Steelix, RETURN!" Jasmine recalled Steelix before walking over. "It's just like last time, remember?" I looked up with a confused expression.

"It did? But I thought I used Fraligatr and Ampharos." I stuttered. It was like that in Pokemon Silver.

"Fraligatr did fight the Magnemite but Eevee was the one who pulled it off in the end." Jasmine explained. I looked down at Eevee before I encountered a flashback causing my pupils to shrink.

I was floating above the arena. One thing was different though: Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, and Togepi weren't present. I watched and saw myself and Eevee rejoicing that we had got the badge from the Olivine City Gym. Jasmine was also smiling as she recalled Steelix. Ampharos (Zigrat) and Fraligatr (Godzilla) were somewhat damaged but they joined in.

A sudden flash and we turned suddenly to the window before running out the door. We watched in horror just as the light in the lighthouse faded into nothing. It was almost like what happened except Amphy was sick before I came.

"AMPHY!!" Jasmine yelled and ran towards the lighthouse. I also followed hoping I could help.

"Mona! Wake up! Mona!!" I felt someone shaking me before my eyes opened suddenly and I sat up.

"Huh?! What happened?" I asked in a worried manner.

"You just toppled over." Jasmine explained. "Did you remember anything?"

"I just remembered that I just won the badge with Eevee and then the bright flash of light before Amphy got sick." I grimaced and sat up. That light was too bright to be from a sick Ampharos. My eyes narrowed. "Mewthree..."

"Was that the same Pokemon that flew away once we got to the tower?"

"Who's Mewthree?" Misty asked.

"The same Pokemon you encountered on the Orange Islands, remember?" Ash asked before turning to Brock. "It was the same one Mona said was stalking her."

" That can't be good... " Pikachu responded.

"If this is true then you have to stop it." Jasmine sighed. "You can't let it hurt anyone else."

"But where can we find it?" Brock asked.

"Don't worry, it'll find us." Ash answered. "So can we start our gym battle?"
"I don't know, Steelix needs time to recover." Jasmine responded.

"Hey, why don't we go to Cianwood?" I asked.

"Why there?" Ash turned to me.

"It has a gym..." I responded. "You can get another badge and come back to Olivine."

"Good idea!"

A few moments later we were on a ferry to Cianwood City. Even as we were on the calm of the sea I felt nervous. Mewthree would do anything to get Mewtwo to Giovanni.

Anything...

To be continued.
