Episode 501: Traveling Together Again!
Where we last left off, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Cilan, Iris, Pikachu, Eevee, Angel, Meowth, Axew, Azurill, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, the Mane Six, Spike, Starlight and the Young Six were about to venture to Vertress City when they were greeted by the Digimon.
"I don't believe it! How did you get here? And when did you get here? Is everything okay?" Sora asked.
"Everything is okay, except that you weren't in it since the two worlds are now safe, thanks to you," Agumon said.
"We missed you so much, because you were the greatest friends we ever made," Patamon said.
"Weren't you worried about evil Digimon making a move in the Digital World with you gone?" Kairi asked.
"And aren't Guilmon and the others with you?" Riku asked.
"To answer both questions, they stayed behind to keep an eye on things for us to keep the Digital World safe from any evil Digimon attempting to follow Myotismon's footsteps," Hawkmon said.
"Are those Digimon?" Karen asked.
"Pika," Blossom said.
"Yeah, they're the ones that's been traveling with us throughout the Sinnoh region," Ventus said.
"You mentioned that you met Agumon during your stay in Jubelife City, and you met Gabumon and Biyomon after Sora won the Coal Badge in Oreburgh City," Karen pointed out.
"And you met the rest when you first took on that Hunter J," Iris said.
"Axew," Axew said.
"Yeah. Ever since that time, we dealt with some evil Digimon that crossed over from the Digital World," Ventus said.
"The one I can't forget about was that giant walking bucket of bolts. That thing still haunts me in my dreams," Meowth said, shuddering at the memory of Machinedramon.
"We're so happy to see you, everyone," Wormmon said.
"But, who are they?" Palmon asked.
"Right. It's about time we introduce you. Meet Cilan, he's a Pokémon Connoisseur, and one of the Gym Leaders of the Striaton City Gym. This is Iris, a Dragon Master in-training. And this is Karen, my long-lost twin sister," Sora said. "Also our friends from Equestria, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sandbar, Smolder, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, and Silverstream."
"Twin sister?" Agumon asked surprised.
"Long story. We'll explain at the Pokémon Center," Sora said.
Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Cilan, Iris, Pikachu, Eevee, Angel, Meowth, Axew, Azurill, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, the Mane Six, Spike, Starlight, the Young Six, and the Digimon all walked down the street to talk about their adventures during the Unova region, unaware that Team Shadow peon is spying on them.
Speaking of which, Mateus sits in his office as he receives a message.
"Master Mateus, the Digimon has returned," the Team Shadow peon reported.
"Is that so? Return to base at once," Matues ordered.
"Yes, sir," the Team Shadow peon said, cutting communications. Mateus didn't wait long until he received another transmission.
"Yes?" Matues asked.
"Master Mateus, Ein and his squad had just returned from the Kanto region, and they brought something with them," a female Team Shadow peon reported.
"Tell Ein, I am on my way to his lab," Mateus instructed.
"At once, Master Mateus," the female Team Shadow peon said, breaking contact.
Matues stood up and started to walk down to the lab. It drew in a huge crowd of Team Shadow peons as they were bringing in the lifeless Decepticon. It also attracted the attention of Team Shadow's other top members. Mateus arrived soon after. Grogar, Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow were awestruck by what they were looking at.
"What matter of creation are we looking at?" Matues asked.
"Unknown, sir. The metal used for this specimen is nothing I have ever seen. But, I find it very fascinating," Ein said.
"Does anypony know what that is supposed to be?" Cozy Glow asked.
"And you're asking me, why?" Tirek asked.
"Whatever it is, it seems rather interesting," Chrysalis said.
"Agreed. I have never seen anything like this," Grogar said. "Given time, we will learn about it."
"I want to see what we're dealing with. Don't worry about making a mess," Ein said. "Start with the chest." The Team Shadow peons began to operate a giant drill and opened the Decepticon open as Energon erupted from the chest, creating a blue mess. As the Vehicon was being dissected, Ein was amazed by the design of the deceased robot. It was almost like it was sentient, but he found that to be ridiculous, so he had to get the facts together first. The head was severed, so he wondered about the memory circuits. He downloaded the memory circuits and displayed it on the screen as he sees the Autobots in display. "Could that have been a battlefield of some sorts? If so, then could they have been enemies of this one? Further reserves is required."
Above the Kanto skies, Windblade flies in her jet mode on patrol.
"Windblade to Optimus. No sign of any Decepticons. Figure I'd return to base," Windblade said.
"Understood, Windblade. We shall await your return," Optimus said.
Suddenly, Starscream flies towards Windblade in jet mode. Windblade recognized Starscream.
"Updating that last statement, Optimus. Starscream is on my tailpipe!" Windblade said.
"We shall send reinforcements to your position!" Optimus said.
"No need, Prime. I can handle Starscream by myself," Windblade said.
"Starscream is not a force to be taken lightly," Optimus warned.
"He's just a coward. I'll just play with him a little until he gets scared and fly away," Windblade said as she did a barrel roll and opened fire at the Decepticon's second-in-command. Starscream swerves to avoid Windblade's assault.
"Stop that this minute!" Starscream demanded.
"What's the matter, Screamy? Don't tell me I'm too much for you to handle already!" Windblade said.
"Oh, you are far beyond handling, Autobot!" Starscream said as he turned and fired a couple of missles at her. "I don't know how you came back from the dead, but I can assure you that your visit will be a very short one!" Starscream kept firing at the flying female Autobot. Windblade rolls again and aimed right for one of his wings. His right wing is struck as he goes right down. Starscream transformed into his robot mode before he aimed his blasters at Windblade who came down and transformed into robot mode as well. "I'm going to enjoy seeing you die again, Windblade!"
"Get ready to be disappointed, Starscream," Windblade said as she drew out her weapon. It is a curved blade made of energy. Starscream fired at her as Windblade reflects his blasts. Starscream kept on shooting right up until she sliced his arm off. Starscream yelped in pain as he picked up his severed limb.
"You'll pay for that, Autobot! Pay with your Spark!" Starscream threatened.
"You're welcome to try, Con," Windblade said. Starscream fired with his remaining arm, but Windblade danced as she evaded his firepower.
"Hold still so I could scrap you, Autobot!" Starscream said. He kept firing and firing at her when she gave him a kick, making him drop his arm.
"You didn't make it easy for us to scrap you, so I see no reason to make it easy for you," Windblade said. Starscream stood back up and transformed into his jet mode. "Running away rather than stay and fight? What a surprise."
"You haven't won, Windblade, but next we cross paths, I won't be running away, nor will you be able to spread your wings," Starscream said as he took flight.
"I bet you said that to all the Autobots, Starscream," Windblade said.
Starscream was now alone as he transformed back to robot mode.
"Curse that Windblade! I thought for sure I had her. It might be a Spark of an Autobot, but I still have my red Energon. And that's my little secret," Starscream said as he chuckled. Starscream returned to the Nemesis. He was able to hide the red Energon in a compartment, hoping to escape Megatron's notice. Starscream managed to successfully hide the red Energon when Megatron approached him.
"Starscream!" Megatron called out, making his second-in-command flinch. "Have you eliminated Windblade yet?"
"I regret to say I have failed to scrap Windblade, my lord," Starscream said. Megatron slowly approached Starscream.
"Let me guess. She beat you up so badly, you ran away just like a coward," Megatron said.
"Windblade has proven to be a formidable warrior, and I have the wounds to prove it, my liege. I underestimated her, but she won't catch me off guard again," Starscream said.
"That much is at least true, Starscream," Megatron said, grabbing him.
"Master, please!" Starscream pleaded.
"You'll be begging a lot more than that when I get done with you!" Megatron said. He began to beat Starscream as he screamed in pain.
Thundercracker, Skywarp, Sunstorm, and a female Decepticon were listening to the screams.
"You called it, Slipstream. Starscream blew it and Megatron is beating the living Spark out of him," Thundercracker said.
"What can I say? He's always coming back for more, and he never learns his lesson," Slipstream said.
"Better him than us, anyway," Sunstorm said.
"You got that right, Sunstorm," Skywarp agreed.
Megatron got finished beating up Starscream and tossed him aside.
"Let that be a lesson to you, Starscream. I needn't to repeat myself again, do I, Starscream?" Megatron asked.
"No, Lord Megatron. You needn't," Starscream said.
"I hope not, Starscream. Because I won't go so easy on you the next time," Megatron said. He looked at the Seekers. "Take Starscream to Knockout and have him patched up."
"As you wish, Lord Megatron," Thundercracker said.
Thundercracker and Skywarp drags the injured Starscream to medical bay. They dumped him down to the ground.
"Careful, you clumsy traitors!" Starscream exclaimed angrily.
"Oops!" Thundercracker playfully said as he and Thundercracker chuckled.
"At least my red Energon remains undiscovered because I don't want to risk using it right away," Starscream said in his thoughts.
Back in Unova, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Cilan, Iris, Pikachu, Eevee, Angel, Meowth, Axew, Azurill, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, the Mane Six, Spike, Starlight, the Young Six, and the Digimon all sat around and talked as soon as Angel, Unfezant, and Togetic were completely healed.
"So, let me get this straight, Karen, wasn't it? Sora is your long-lost twin brother, and you only found out about him from a dream you had?" Agumon asked.
"That's right," Karen said.
"Chu," Blossom said.
"None of knew about it until we met Karen," Ventus said.
"Chu?" Sparky looked at the Digimon quite funny.
"I can understand, because Sora would have mentioned you before," Tentomon said.
"But I'll say that you are the cutest Digimon I have ever seen in my life. Sora has especially told me about you, Agumon," Karen said.
"Yeah?" Agumon asked quite curiously.
"He always said how brave you are, and what a great leader you are," Karen said.
"Sora said that?" Agumon asked in surprise.
"He sure did," Karen admitted, making her brother chuckle nervously.
"I didn't make that big an impact on him," Sora said.
"You kinda did to be kinda honest," Agumon said. Everyone looked right at the dinosaur-like Digimon. "Maybe it's the fact Sora's been such a great leader himself. He has a great sense of leadership, so it rubbed off of me. That must be how we were able to defeat Myotismon once and for all."
"I kinda know what you mean, Agumon," Twilight said. "Before I became a princess, I didn't think I would be leading anypony. Even after Princess Celestia turned me into an alicorn, I still had much to learn. Sora, Leonardo and Erza also played a part in that."
"There were times you doubted yourself and you managed to bounce back. Because you had us," Fluttershy said.
"Fluttershy's right, Twilight. Because you had us, we were able to save Equestria and the rest of the world from villains like Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Queen Chrysalis, and King Sombra," Rarity said.
"And we didn't think too much on the matter, but we did learn what we need to save Equestria from Cozy Glow when she was draining all of Equestria's magic," Sandbar said.
"It taught us that we stronger together. We learned yaks, ponies, dragons, griffins, changelings, and hippogriffs are stronger when together, more than entire army of yaks," Yona said.
"That's one way of putting it," Sandbar said.
"I don't think I did anything special," Sora said.
"You kinda did, Sora," Kairi said. Sora looked at his girlfriend. "We couldn't have caught those Ultra Beasts if you didn't point us in the right direction. You kept everyone on their toes as you did mine."
"Yeah, only because we all knew they were too dangerous to be let loose. And you never know when they'll show again," Sora said.
"We all understood what was at stake, Sora," Cilan said.
"Yeah, we worked together to take down Team Plasma before Ghetsis could make the world his own," Iris said.
"And we drove out those Team Shadow jokers before they could do any damage," Riku said.
"Eevee," Eevee agreed.
"You made your point," Sora said. "Even though Team Plasma's out of business with Ghetsis and the rest of his flunkies in jail, but there's still Team Shadow to deal with when we come across them. They're not just a problem for us, but they're a problem for everyone."
Everyone knew Sora was right, Team Shadow knew Team Shadow is one problem that is never going to go away. They had to admit, it has been since the incident with the Forces of Nature, and they knew they were gonna make a move again rather they want it or not.
After having such a good meal in the messhall, the Digimon joins Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Cilan, Iris, Pikachu, Eevee, Angel, Meowth, Axew, Azurill, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, the Mane Six, Spike, Starlight and the Young Six on the journey to Vertress City for the upcoming Unova Pokémon League. And the meantime, Sora will be training hard for the upcoming tournament since he knows it won't be easy, and he would have to do his best.
Okay, I'm just going to cut the chapter short here because I got nothing left to work with in this chapter. Sorry that it's short, but like I said, I got nothing to work with in this part. So, I'll do my best with the upcoming chapters, so stay tuned and thank you all for your dedication, your patience, and your love.
