Episode 442: Brawl Aboard!
Sora, Kairi, Cilan, Iris, Cilan, Hilbert, Cheren, Elesa, Pikachu, Angel, and Axew were heading towards the Battle Subway to rescue Meowth from his captives and bring them down.
Over to the Battle Subway, Weevil and Rex has taken control of the subway as they made contact with Lovrina.
"What is it, you two? This better be important," Lovrina said.
"Boss lady, we have great news! The Pokémon League Champion, Sora Ketchum is heading our way!" Rex said.
"And what's more, he's bringing his little friends with him!" Weevil said.
"What? You two idiots! I told you we shouldn't draw attention to ourselves!" Lovrina growled.
"Hear us out! We kidnapped the talking Meowth who was with Team Rocket, and we are using him as bait to lure them to us," Weevil said.
"The talking Meowth? Are you sure?" Lovrina asked, getting skeptical.
"It's true, ma'am! They're here to rescue him, and we are setting a trap for him," Rex said.
"I'll be there to see for myself, but you better not do anything until I get there!" Lovrina said.
"You can count on us," Weevil said. The Beedrill returns to him. He calls back his Beedrill and he snickers. "Everything's going as planned."
Over to Lovrina, she starts to head for the Battle Subway by car. There were some other cars behind her.
"Those two nimrods better not be wasting my time, or else, they're going to die," Lovrina said. She sighed. "I don't know why we even bothered bringing those two along with us." Lovrina had arrived a few minutes later as she stepped out when the driver opened the door for her. Rex and Weevil were standing outside, waiting for her. "This better be good."
"Oh, you'll love it!" Weevil said, presenting her Meowth with the tape on his mouth.
"This is the talking Meowth?" Lovrina asked, raising a brow.
"Here's proof," Rex said, pulling off the tape.
"OWWW! You could have ripped my lips off!" Meowth exclaimed.
"So, this is the same Meowth that used to be with those Team Rocket losers Jessie and James. And now it's with Sora and Kairi, how funny!" Lovrina laughed.
"Hey, don't you laugh at me, lady!" Meowth said.
"To be honest, I thought the losers were hanging out were dead. I should ahve known that would be too good to be true," Lovrina said.
"How do you know about that?" Meowth asked.
"Simple. We had spies form our organization, so it's only natrual that we get the dirt to bring Team Rocket on its knees, but Sora has saved us the trouble in doing so; and also thanks to Ganondorf and the seven Chaos Emeralds, to mess with his mind," Lovrina said.
"Sora and Kairi are going to be here and mess up that pink hair of yours!" Meowth said.
"I hope so, because I want to deal with those brats myself!" Loverina said.
"You're gonna lo-" Meowth shouted as Rex places the tape back on his mouth.
"Were there any other people inside?" Lovrina asked.
"There were two toher guys, but we took care of them when we got here," Rex said.
In the subway, there are two men tied up in their office. One of them is a young man with an extremely tall and very slender (ectomorphic) with pale skin and silver hair with locks shaped like lightning bolts that curve over either side of his face. He has penetrating semi-circular catlike eyes with silver irises. He wore a tall white conductor's cap and a long, high-collared white trench coat with large silver buttons and large cylindrical cuffs on the sleeves; the cuffs have silver trim on either side and have white and brown stripes in the center. His unique trench coat has horizontal brown stripes and vertical silver stripes; this pattern resembles a railroad track when viewed from all sides. Beneath his coat, he wore a formal white dress shirt, a blue necktie, white dress pants, and white shoes. He wore white gloves on his hands. The other is also a young extremely tall young man that is very slender (ectomorphic) with pale skin and silver hair with locks shaped like lightning bolts that curve over either side of his face. He has penetrating semi-circular catlike eyes with silver irises. He wore a tall black conductor's cap and a long, high-collared black trench coat with large silver buttons and large cylindrical cuffs on the sleeves; the cuffs have silver trim on either side and have black and brown stripes in the center. His unique trench coat has horizontal brown stripes and vertical silver stripes; this pattern resembles a railroad track when viewed from all sides. Beneath his coat he wore a formal white dress shirt, a blue necktie, black dress pants, and black shoes. He wore white gloves on his hands. They were hogtied and gagged.
Over to Sora, Kairi, Cilan, Iris, Hilbert, Cheren, Bianca, Elesa, Pikachu, Angel, and Axew, the group all ran down the streets of Nimbasa City to rescue Meowth. The group were continuing to head for the Battle Subway when they met up with some familiar faces. It was Stephan, Burgundy, and Georgia.
"It looks like you two are with the same peppery Pokémon," Burgundy said. Sora and Kairi turned to Burgundy.
"Burgundy?" Sora and Kairi asked.
"Bonjour!" Burgundy said.
"Look, if you're here to tell us to change our Pokémon again, then you're wasting your time," Sora said.
"I am not here for you two. I am merely here for him!" Burgundy stated.
"Have you gone up by chance?" Cilan asked. Burgundy started to sweat up a storm.
"Um, I'm still C Class," Burgundy said.
"I thought I smelled a Dragon Type," Georgia said, holding her nose.
"Georgia," Iris said.
"Iris, still have that gigantic head?" Georgia asked.
"And you still have that out-of-date hairstyle," Iris said.
"You still you're funny. Just you know, I'm a top-notch Dragon Buster who don't plan on losing to the likes of you," Georgia said.
"Just like a kid," Iris said.
"So what I'm I'm just a kid! And you are too!" Georgia spat. She and Iris glare at each other with lightning at each other. Sora stepped in to break them up.
"Okay, break it up or you're both sitting in the corner for a timeout," Sora said. He looked over to Stephan.
"I would like to catch with you, Stephan, but we're in a middle of an emergency," Sora said.
"It's Stephan, but- oh that's what you just said," Stephan said. "Also, what kind of emergency?"
"Meowth was kidnapped by some guys in white. We saw them before in the Relic Castle," Sora said.
"You mean it's Team Plasma up to ther own tricks, huh?" Stephan asked.
"It wasn't them," Bianca said. EVeryone all turned to her. "They weren't with Team Plasma; they ddin't say who they were."
"It didn't seem that way when we dealt with them before. I wonder if it's Miror B loooking for revenge," Cilan said.
"We're not going to find out by stand around and talking about it," Iris said.
"She's right. We got a rescue mission to go on," Kairi said.
"Why do you care about that Meowth? They can keep him for all I care," Georgia said.
"Oui, I agree. Your compatibility with that mangey Pokémon is the worst ever!" Burgundy said.
"We're not going to abandon him! He's been through enough as it is! Besides, if we leave him in there, then we're no better than those guys," Sora said.
"I agree. Pokémon are living creatures, they have no right to do this to anyone," Elesa said.
"Let's head on over to the Battle Subway and save him," Sora said.
Everyone all agreed and went off to save Meowth from his captives. They eventually made it to the Battle Subway and they saw no one standing outside. They all went to the Battle Subway and looked around. and saw no one around for miles. "No on'es here."
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"There weren't even any guards outside," Sora said.
"That was too easy," Burgundy said.
"Too easy is right. It's like they were just inviting us in," Kairi said. Laughter is heard.
"That's exactly what it is," a woman's voice spoke. The doors behind them locks. Georgia tried to open the doors.
"Hey! What the crap?! The doors are locked!" Georgia exclaimed.
"Hey, what is this?" Burgundy asked. Lovrina stepped out of the shadows and she smirked.
"Hello there," Lovrina greeted.
"Who are you?" Sora asked.
"Call me Lovrina. It's a pleasaure to meet the world famous Sora Ketchum, the Pokémon League Champion of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Is that what you're expecting? As if," Lovrina said.
"Where's Meowth?" Sora asked.
"Ooh, right to the point. Okay, little boy I'll tell you exactly where your little friend is. He's in one of these trains, so you're going thave to check them if you wanna see him again," Lovrina said. "So, choose wisely."
"I can assume that you and Miror B are friends, aren't you?" Cilan asked.
"More like we're acquaintances, and nothing else. Miror B has to be pretty pathetic if he lost to you, Sora," Lovrina said. Several Team Shadow peons stepped out of the shadows to join her. The Team Shadow peons has let out several Lycanroc, all in Midday and Midnight Forms. There was one that is in Dusk Form. "And since you came all this way, I thought I would give you some playmates. Have fun." Lovrina laughed as she started to take off.
"Lovrina!" Sora shouted after her.
"Pika!" Pikachu added.
"Sora, we have to take care of them first!" Cilan said, stopping him.
"What kind of Pokémon are they?" Iris asked.
"They're all Lycanroc! What we're seeing is Lycanroc in Midday Forms and Midnight Forms, but only one of them is unfamiliar to me," Cilan said.
"That one is Dusk Form. I have a Lycanroc who is just like that one," Sora said.
"And they're all going to tear you apart!" One of the Team Shadow peons said.
"No biggie! I got this!" Georgia said, taking out a Pokéball and threw it. "Beartic, let's go!" Her Beartic came on out to battle againt the wolf Pokémon.
"Attack!" The Team Shadow peons ordered. The Lycanrock all went towards the trainers.
"Beartic! Ice Beam!" Georgia ordered. Beartic fires Ice Beam right at the wolf Pokémon. They easily dodged the attack just by jumping.
"Crunch!" The Team Shadow peons ordered. The Lycanrock all charged at their opponents to land bite attacks at their opponents; Elesa stepped in. She took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Go! Zebstrika!" Elesa called out. Her Zebstrika came on out to battle the Lycanroc. "Use Double Kick!" Zebstrika gave the rocks a couple of kicks to the rocks, sending them back. Beartic grabs one of the Midnight Lycanroc and threw it right at several other Lycanroc. Sora took out a Pokéball and opened it.
"Trubbish! Go!" Sora called out. Trubbish came on out. "Trubbish! Use Poison Gas!" Trubbish spews Poison Gas all around. "Cover your mouths if you don't want to breathe it in!" And that's what they all did. In all the confusion, Sora, Kairi, Iris, Cilan, Hilbert, Cheren, Bianca, and Burgundy all slipped by them as Stephan, Georgia, and Elesa all stayed behind to deal with the Team Shadow peons.
The Poison Gas cleaared up as the Nimbasa City Gym Leader, and the other two trainers.
"Hey, where did the others go?" Another Team Shadow peon asked.
"We can deal with them after we take on these losers!" The first Team Shadow peon said. Stephan took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Go! Sawk!" Stephan called out as Sawk came on out to battle along with Zebstrika and Beartic.
Sora, Kairi, Cilan, Iris, Hilbert, Cheren. Bianca, Burgundy, Pikachu, Angel, and Axew ran through the building to find the scratch cat Pokémon.
"Meowth, where are you?" Sora asked. A muffled sound is heard as Meowth is tied and gagged on a train, still tied up and gagged. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel boarded the train.
"Meowth, thank goodness!" Kairi said, undoing the gag.
"It's a trap!" Meowth exclaimed. The doors on the train closed, leaving Hilbert, Cheren, Cilan, Iris, and Burgundy behind.
"Guys!" Sora called out.
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
"Attention all passengers. The train we are currently on is biound for Aniville Town. In the meantime, I recommend that you take up the time by battling the opponents we have specially chosen for you. Enjoy the ride!" Lovrina spoke through the speakers.
"Crap! We fell for it!" Sora said.
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
"And it's about to get even worse!" A voice spoke. Sora and Kairi turned to see Weevil and Rex on the same car as them. Sora and Kairi didn't recognize them while they were still wearing their helmets.
"We've been waiting for this for a long time!" Rex said.
"What do you want with us?" Kairi asked.
"Eevee!" Angel said.
"Don't you recognize us?" Rex asked.
"Maybe this will jog your memory," Weevil said as he and Rex took off their helmets. Sora and Kairi gasped when they saw their faces.
"What the?! Weevil? Rex? What are you two doing here?" Sora asked.
"Oh, we're just here to say hello to some old friends; but that would be too kind since you cost us the Silver Wing!" Weevil said.
"You're still made about that?" Sora asked. Angel was at a loss.
"I am confused. Do you know them?" - Angel subtitle.
"We do. We met up with them a few times. They tried to get back at Sora and Kairi for what happened. We last saw them when dealing with Team Rocket on Silver Rock Isle." - Piakchu subtitle.
"What's the getup? Are you working with Miror B and Lovrina?" Sora asked.
"Oh, we are," Weevil said.
"We are proud members of Team Shadow," Rex stated.
"Team Shadow?" Sora asked in surprise.
"Why don't you ask your little cat friend there. He seems to know all about us," Weevil said. The couple turned to Meowth.
"It's true. I do know about Team Shadow. Team Rocket had in for them for a long time. I didnt know what they even looked like," Meowth said.
"Team Shadow. So, that's who they are," Sora said in his thoughts.
"We joined Team Shadow to have our revenge on the two of you! And once we're done with you two, we'll head on over to Alola and find your blue-haired friend and do the same to her!" Weevil said.
"And after that, we'll be finding the trainer with the big hair and the Charizard with the red stripes!" Rex said.
Sora and Kairi knew they were also setting their sights on Lana and Tai. They weren't going to let that happen to them.
"Not going to happen, you little lizard!" Sora said.
"The same to you, you disgusting cokroach!" Kairi added.
"We don't have time to deal with you! Where's Lovrina?" Sora asked.
"She's currently occupied with the controls. She insists that we take you two on a train ride to Anville Town!" Weevil said.
"And we'll be happy to entertain you," Rex said. Both of Rex and Weevil each took oout a Pokéball and threw it.
"Go! Scizor!" Weevil called out.
"Go! Heliolisk!" Rex called out.
Both of Scizor and Heliolisk came right out to battle. Sora and Kairi turned to Piakchu and Angel.
"Go, Pikachu!" Sora said.
"You too, Angel!" Kairi said.
Pikachu and Angel stepped in to battle.
In the train's controls she grinned as she watches the battle on the security systems.
"And I thought I was going to be bored," Lovrina said.
On the train ride, a Klink is hiding above her.
Back at the Battle Subway, Cilan, Iris, Hilbert, Cheren, Bianca, and Burgundy were being surrounded by several Team Shadow peons. They found themselves surrounded by several Alolan Persian and Perrserker.
"What are they?" Bianca asked.
"Those are Persian, but of the Alola region. And those are Perrserker. The Persian from Alola are Dark Type Pokémon while Perrserker are Steel Type," Cilan said.
"They all have a unique fragrance, mon ami," Burgundy. Cheren took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Come on out, Stoutland!" Cheren called out. Stoutland came out to battle the cat Pokémon. Bianca joined in the battle.
"Join in, Minncino!" Bianca called out. Minncino entered the battle along with Stoutland. Cilan, Iris, Hilbert, and Burgundy joined right in. Pansage, Druddigon, and two Dewott joined in.
"Get them!" One of the Team Shadow peons ordered.
Back to Elesa, Georgia, and Stephan, they had already taken the last of the Lycanroc. The Team Shadow peons calls back their Lycanroc and started to retreat.
"We'll remember this!" The Team Shadow peon said.
Back on the train, the battle between Sora, Kairi, and the Team Shadow members Weevil and Rex.
"Heliolisk! Use Dragon Tail!" Rex ordered.
"Scizor! Use Silver Wind!" Weevil ordered.
Heliolisk came at Angel with Dragon Tail as Scizor unleashes Silver Wind right at Pikachu.
"Dodge!" Sora and Kairi called out. Pikachu and Angel dodges their attacks with their speed.
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt on Scizor!" Sora ordered. Piakchu fires Thunderbolt right at Scizor, but Rex had a trick up his sleeve.
"Heliolisk! Use Flash!" Rex ordered. Heliolisk raises its frills and unleashed a flash right at Pikachu and Angel, making him miss his intended target. "Now, use Parabolic Charge!" Heliolisk spreads its frills and fires a blast of electricty into the air. A sphere of electricity is formed in the middle, which shoots out multiple blasts of electricity and struck both of Pikachu and Angel.
"Pikachu!" Sora gasped.
"Angel!" Kairi added.
Both of Rex and Weevil laughed.
"Normally Parabolic Charge heals the user right after it was used, but that doesn't apply when Heliolisk didn't take any damage," Rex said.
"Scizor! Use Bullet Punch on that Eevee!" Weevil ordered. Scizor lands a Bullet Punch onto Angel. Pikachu growled in anger when he saw his girlfriend get struck by Scizor's Bullet Punch. "Bullet Punch again!" Scizor moves in to give Angel another Bullet Punch. Pikachu gets in front of Angel and takes the hit for the Eevee he loves.
"Pikachu!" Sora and Kairi exclaimed.
"He took the hit for her. Talking about a heroic sacrifice," Meowth said. "I mean of placing a Keyblade in your heart just to free a certain someone isn't a heroic sacrifice, then I don't know what is. At least it's a better way to go than how Kingdom Hearts 3 ended."
"Heliolisk! Use Dragon Tail!" Rex ordered. Heliolisk swings its tail and struck Pikachu again. "Good hit, Heliolisk! Keep up the Dragon Tail!" Heliolisk swings its tail again and again. Pikachu is struck by Heliolisk's Dragon Tail.
"Eevee! Swift!" Kairi ordered. Angel fires Swift and the stars struck both of Scizor and Heliolisk.
"Heliolisk! Use Dragon Claw on that Eevee!" Rex ordered. Heliolisk came right tt Angel with Dragon Claw and swiped its claw right at her. "Now use Dragon Tail!" Heliolisk swings its tail and struck Angel hard.
"Scizor! Use Silver Wind!" Weevil ordered. Scizor fires Silver WInd right at the Pokémon couple.
Back at the Battle Subway, Elesa, Georgia, and Stephan made it to the main office and found the two men tied up and gagged.
"Emmet, Ingo!" Elesa exclaimed. She removed their gags. "Thank good ness you're okay."
"We're thankful that you came to our aide, Elesa," Emmet said.
"Was it that Lovrina woman who did this?" Elesa asked.
"No. It was two of her henchmen who did this to us!" Ingo said.
"Indeed it was," Emmet added.
"Where's this Lovrina now?" Georgia asked.
"She's on the train bound for Anville Town. She had a Meowth with her," Emmet said.
"The Meowth with Sora and Kairi," Stephan said.
"They're walking into a trap!" Elesa said.
Back on the train, Sora and Kairi were lsoing badly to Weevil and Rex.
"Hang in there," Sora said.
"Silver Wind!" Weevil ordered. Scizor unleashed Silver Wind right at the Pokémon couple land ing a hit onto the both of them.
"Parabolic Charge!" Rex ordered. Heliolisk unleashed Parabolic Charge and it struc both of Pikachu and Angel. Heiliolisk has recovered from any damage taken from Angel's Swift.
"Yes! Revenge is at last ours for the taking!" Weevil said, laughing.
"Don't be so sure, you termite! We always bouce right back whenever we're in a tight bind" Sora said.
"It'll havr to take a miracle to save you both!" Weevil said.
"And nothing you can do can help you!" Rex said. Pikachu and Angel stood back up, willing to keep going.
"Angel, you're too injured to keep going," Kairi pleaded.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"You wanna keep going?" Kairi asked, surprised.
"Vee," Angel nodded.
"Pika, Pikachu, Pika, Pika, Pikachu, Pika!" Pikachu said.
"You wanna stay in this, too, Pikachu?" Sora asked.
"They won't give up just because the battle's too tough for them," Meowth said.
"Those two fuzzballs are real gluttons for punishment," Weevil said.
"By all means, let's give them what they want! Parabolic Charge!" Rex ordered.
"Silver Wind!" Weevil ordered. Both Pokémon launched their attacks at their opponents as Pikachu and Angel has miraculously dodged their attacks, much to their surprise.
"What the?! They dodged?!" Rex exclaimed.
"We can still get them! Scizor! Use Giga Impact!" Weevil ordered.
"You too, Heliolisk!" Rex ordered.
Both of Scizor and Heliolisk has launched themselves with Giga Impact. Pikachu and Angel has dodged once again.
"Sora, let's try combining our moves?" Kairi suggested.
"I love the way you think, Kairi!" Sora said.
"Combine your moves?! What are you talking about?!" Weevil exclaimed.
"You're about to find out, snake-face and bug-eye! Pikachu! Use Thunder!" Sora ordered.
"Angel! Use Swift!" Kairi ordered.
Both of Pikachu and Angel has fired their attacks. Both of Swift and Thunder merged together. The stars in the stream of electricity worked in the same fashion that was used to defeat Sakkakumon. Both of Scizor and Heliolisk were caught in the blast. Both of Weevil and Rex's Pokémon were down for the count much to their dismay.
"I don't believe it!" Rex exclaimed.
"They actually defeated us!" Weevil gasped.
"So much for revenge," Sora said. Both of Weevil and Rex growled in rage as they called back their Pokémon.
"We won't forget this!" Weevil and Rex both said, activating their jetpacks. They fly off in the direction they came from. Lovrina smirked.
"Those two nimrods are even better than I thought. Even so, they still weren't a match for those brats. Sora and Kairi took Pikachu and Angel in thier arms.
"You both battled wonderfully," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"You did it by working together," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said. Lovrina spoke through the speakers.
"Congratulations, you two! I knew you would mop the floor with those two! They're nothing compared to me though! We should be reaching our destination shortly. I recommend that you relax and take a load off. And then meet outside once we have made our stop. That is all for now!" Lovrina said. The train has finally arrived in Anville Town as Lovrina has stepped outside. THe doors opens as Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, ANgel, and Meowth has stepped out. The couple spotted Lovrina standing in the station. SHe smirked.
"Lovrina!" Sora called out. She laughed as she started to run. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, and Meowth has begun their pursuit of the Team Shadow member. Could she be leading the couple into an unsuspecting trap? Find out in the next chapter.
