"Professor! We must shut it down!" Lou called.
"I'm trying! It's our of control!" Laming called.
Ichigo and his friends have recently arrived in the Kalos region. When they did, they seem to have gotten themselves into a serious situation.
"Lou, initiate emergency shutdown!" Laming called. Lou tried his best to shut down the systems as everything in the lab was malfunctioning. Ichigo and the others did their best to keep themselves protected. Lou worked fast and was able to shut everything down, but Laming's poor Venusaur didn't look so good as he dropped down. "Venusaur!"
You're just a kid on a quest
To be the best of the best
Someday your destined for power and glory
You know you're up to the test
There's only one way to tell this story
Be a hero
Be a hero
All the power is at your command
Face your fears and show you're a hero
The future of the world is in your hands
Pokémon
(Ichigo's voice) A Mega Meltdown
Everything was shutdown before anything exploded, but it looked like Venusaur didn't handle it all that well. Venusaur didn't look so well and that has Professor Laming concerned.
"Venusaur! Are you okay? Please speak to me!" Laming called as he rushed over to Venusaur. Ichigo and the others hurried over out of concern for Venusaur.
"Rukia, is Venusaur okay?" Orihime asked. Rukia took a quick look, but just couldn't tell if something was really wrong.
"I'm not sure. I think we should call Nurse Joy over." Rukia suggested. Everyone was thinking the same thing, but they saw Venusaur was starting to get back up. They were all glad to see Venusaur was moving again.
"Venusaur, are you hurt?" Laming asked. It seemed like Venusaur was okay, but the fact that Venusaur's eyes were glowing an ominous red. That's not a good sign. Venusaur let out a mighty roar and the mega stone fell off. "Venusaur, what's wrong?!" Venusaur was lashing out in anger, almost like Venusaur couldn't control itself. "Venusaur, stop!" Venusaur wasn't even listening to it's trainer as it used Vine Whip and lashed at almost everyone with all of them ducking down.
"What's wrong with Venusaur?" Orihime asked.
"I'm not really sure. I think that experiment messed up it's head." Ichigo said.
"Ichigo's right. Venusaur is out of control." Chad said. This wasn't looking good at all. Venusaur continued to lash out as Venusaur launched it's vines at a defenseless Orihime.
"Orihime!" Ichigo called in concerned, but Chad stepped in and was able to block the attack.
"Chad!" Orihime called as she was afraid he was hurt.
"Quick! Try to get Venusaur back in it's pokeball!" Rukia called. Laming tried to do just that, but Venusaur pushed through before Laming could do anything. It smashed right through the walls and took it's rampage out on the city.
"Chad, are you okay?!" Orihime said. Chad might have been a little bruised, but it looked like he was able to handle it.
"What the heck happened back there?" Lou asked.
"I'm not exactly sure." Laming said. "It seems my device had some sort of negative effect on Venusaur and caused Venusaur to act primal."
"I was starting to think this whole thing was a bad idea." Ichigo said. "Venusaur didn't look that happy about this experiment."
"What are you talking about?" Laming asked. "It was for the good of science. I needed a pokemon that could mega evolve and I luckily had Venusaur to help us out."
"Maybe, but what about how Venusaur felt." Ichigo said. "I know your research is important, but I do know that mega evolution revolves around the bond between human and pokemon. That means you have to consider how your pokemon feel. Venusaur didn't look that happy at all, but you didn't seem to notice." Laming didn't really thought about that, but now that he has, he was feeling guilty."
"Hey. How about we talk about it some more and let the walking giant flower continue to go on a rampage." Rukia pointed out. She was right. Venusaur is out of control and something has to be done before someone gets hurt.
...
Venusaur
"Saur!" Venusaur spread his rampage through the streets. With the sun dropping, Venusaur mindlessly used its attacks and was causing much damage. People were getting afraid and were evacuating the area.
"Evacuate the area! A rampaging Venusaur is attacking!" Officer Jenny called. "Stay clear of the area!" While the police were working to get the people evacuated, they had Manectric tried to apprehend Venusaur, but Venusaur smacked all of them away with Vine Whip and continued to attack. Ichigo and the rest of them arrived and saw what was happening. This was looking very bad.
"Officer Jenny!" Laming called. "I am so sorry for this. This is all my fault."
"What do you mean?" Officer Jenny asked.
"That's my Venusaur going on a rampage." Laming said. "This all happened when I was working on my experiments. It had a negative effect on Venusaur and caused this."
"Thank you for telling me this, but I insist that you stay back." Officer Jenny said. This wasn't looking good if they can't get in there to help Venusaur.
"We've got to do something, but they won't let us through." Rukia said.
"Can't we just get poor Venusaur safely back in it's pokeball before anything happens?" Orihime asked.
"I don't think we can with the way Venusaur is acting. There's no way it will go back inside." Lou said. "We've got to do something to try and stop Venusaur before it or anyone gets hurt."
"We'll just force our way through." Ichigo said. He and Absol ran on ahead and didn't let the police stop them.
"Stop! You can't go in there!" Officer Jenny called.
"Ichigo, wait!" Orihime called as they all chased after him. Venusaur continued to go on a rampage. Ichigo and Absol tried getting close, but Venusaur used Frenzy Plant and tore open the ground and smashed against some of the buildings. Venusaur was causing a lot of destruction and had to be stopped quickly.
"Absol, slice a way through for us with Razor Wind!" Ichigo ordered. Absol unleashed the attack and slashed right through some of the plants so they could get through. "Try and use Night Slash to get Venusaur's attention!" Absol jumped in the air and got over Venusaur. Absol smashed it's horn against Venusaur and was able to stop Venusaur from going anywhere. "Venusaur, stop and calm down!"
"Venusaur..." Venusaur turned around and faced them. Absol was ready to attack if he needed to.
"Ichigo!" Orihime called as they got close.
"Stay back!" Ichigo called. "Let me try and reason with Venusaur."
"Is he crazy? Venusaur is out of control. How does he think he can reason with it?" Lou questioned.
"Just watch and see." Rukia said as his friends put some faith in him. Venusaur may not be going out of control, but Venusaur did look ready to attack if needed.
"It's okay." Ichigo said as he reached out to Venusaur and carefully moved closer. "I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to help. I get you were probably upset and didn't like all those experiments, but you have to try and control yourself." Ichigo moved carefully, but Venusaur attacked by lashing a Vine Whip.
"Absol!" Absol stepped in the way and took the attack with Absol getting smacked in the face.
"Absol, are you okay?!" Ichigo said. Absol was able to shake it off and get back up. Seeing Absol was okay, Ichigo focused on Venusaur. Ichigo moved a little closer and wasn't scared by Venusaur's growls. "It's all okay." Ichigo reached out and placed his hand on Venusaur's head. It seemed like it was working as Venusaur was calming down. Everyone was impressed that he was able to do it.
"He was able to calm it down!" Officer Jenny said with astonishment.
"Professor Laming, this is a good chance to return Venusaur back in it's pokeball." Chad said. Laming acted quickly and got Venusaur back in it's pokeball. That put an end to the whole mess.
"That's a relief." Ichigo said. They all thought this was the end, but a building that was damaged from Venusaur's attack had a piece of it broke off. It was about to land on Ichigo and Absol and was about to crush them.
"Absol!" Ichigo called as he ran to Absol and tried to shield him. They were in real trouble, but they were saved at the last moment. Something incredibly fast and powerful blasted through the debris and saved the two of them.
"Ichigo, are you okay?!" Orihime asked.
"Yeah, but what saved us?" Ichigo questioned. They all looked to the sky and saw something fly over to a nearby building that someone was standing on. They also saw the pokemon change forms.
"That's a Salamence." Chad said.
"And it looks like it can mega evolve." Rukia said.
"Good save, Salamence. Let's go." The stranger said as he climbed on his partner and flew off into the sunset.
"I wonder if that was Kisuke Urahahra." Lou said.
"Kisuke Urahara?" Ichigo questioned as to who that was.
"The champion, of course." Lou said.
"The champion?!" All of four of them said with astonishment. They had a small encounter with the champion already? Amazing.
...
The Next Day
Once they got Venusaur, they got him to the pokemon center. Venusaur was able to calm down and made a full recovery from what happened.
"Venusuar, please forgive me for putting you through that." Laming said as he was trying to make things right. It looked like Venusaur was forgiving him. "I can't thank you all enough for this. I'm going to be more careful with Venusaur and my experiments."
"We're just glad that we could help." Rukia said.
"Ichigo, I understand you want to enter the Kalos League." Lou said. "You would be interested to know that the closest gym is in Ivagam City."
"Ivagam City... Sounds like a good place as any." Ichigo said. "We better get going."
"Bye!" All of them said as they were on their way.
"Good luck!" Lou called.
"Best wishes!" Laming called as they waved them goodbye. Ichigo and the others hit the road and couldn't wait to see what lies ahead of them. Ichigo couldn't also stop thinking about all that has happened.
"Mega evolution is incredible." Ichigo said as he thought about the champion. "Kisuke Urahara..."
Ichigo and his friends certainly won't be forgetting this experience. Not only did they remind us the importance of a pokemon's feelings, but Ichigo reached out and helped tamed a rampaging one. What other adventures await them. They can hardly wait. As the journey continues...
