In the next chapter, we will be introduced to Brock and Max. Max's Pokemon will be based on the Pokemon he befriended throughout the anime.


Chapter 3: Rumble In Mystery Jungle

On the cliffside of Mystery Jungle, a truck was seen driving away. It was being driven by a Kadabra stealing some Pokemon Eggs. A Grumpig was standing on top of the eggs.

Grumpig: Boy, can't wait till we hide these eggs, so no one can find them.

Kadabra: Yeah. It would be crackers.

Inside the jungle, a long rocky tail knocks a Grumpig out of the trees and fell off the cliff. A giant rock snake is knocking out some Hypno. The rock snake is the Pokemon, Onix. He jumps out of the trees and onto the cliffside. Riding him is a teenage boy with squinty eyes, brown spiky hair, wearing an orange t-shirt with a green vest, and brown pants. The boy is the Pokemon Breeder, Brock Harrison. Next to him are a red vixen with six tails, a light blue mudfish with orange gills, and a dark blue anthropomorphic frog with yellow eyes, orange cheeks, and black markings all over him. They are Vulpix, Mudkip, and Croagunk.

Brock: OK, Onix! Let's get those Pokemon Eggs back!

Onix: Right!

Then they saw Grumpig aim the cannons at them and fire three Beheeyem at them. The Beheeyem uses Zen Headbutt to charge at Brock and his Pokemon with psychic energy.

Vulpix: Poochyena, Ralts, it's your turn!

Suddenly, a gray hyena pup and a small white humanoid Pokemon with a light green bowl cut with two red horns on the front and back appears and leaps off Onix. The Pokemon are Poochyena and Ralts. Poochyena uses Dark Pulse to fire a dark energy wave, while Ralts uses Psybeam to fire a psychic energy beam. Both attacks hit two Beheeyem, knocking them out. The last Beheeyem is heading towards them.

Poochyena: Now it's your turn, Flygon!

A light green dragon with insectoid wings, dark green antenna, and red round eyes flew over Brock and his Pokemon. The Pokemon is Flygon. Riding him is a little boy with blue hair, wearing glasses, green t-shirt, and brown shorts. The boy is May's little brother, Max. Flygon uses Dragon Pulse on the last Beheeyem, knocking it out. Flygon, Poochyena, and Ralts then lands next to Brock and his Pokemon. The knocked out Beheeyem fell behind them and explodes.

Max: Brock, can I come with you? I've always wanted to travel around the world with my Pokemon.

Brock: Fine, but after we find the Pokemon Eggs, we have to continue our search for Ash and May. I heard they are in danger again.

Mudkip: Don't worry. We'll find them no doubt. Now let's go!

Brock, Max, and their Pokemon leaps off the cliff and ran after the Evil Pokemon. Along the way, they fought more Psychic Pokemon like the Grumpig, Hypno, and Sigilyph. The Grumpig uses Zen Headbutt, the Hypno uses Psybeam, while the Sigilyph uses Air Cutter to fire wind energy blades from their wings, but the gang easily dodges the attacks. Onix uses Rock Throw to throw rocks at the Sigilyph, Vulpix and Mudkip uses Flamethrower and Water Gun on the Hypno, while Croagunk uses Poison Jab to make his hand glow purple and stab the Grumpig. After taking out all the Evil Pokemon, the gang proceeds to the next area and came across a floating barrel by a cliff.

Max: A barrel? How do we use it?

Brock: Look at where the barrel might lead us to.

Brock points to a series of barrels floating over a valley.

Max: Now I get it. We'll jump into that barrel and it'll launch us to those other barrels.

Brock, Max, and their Pokemon jumps into the barrel and it fires them through a series of barrels over the valley until they reached the other side. There, they encountered more Grumpig, Hypno, and Sigilyph, as well as some Trackballs on lines. Brock and Max's Pokemon hits the Trackballs and they knocked out the Evil Pokemon. They then proceed to the next area, where they hit another Trackball to break a breakable wall. Suddenly, they got ambushed by more Grumpig, Kadabra, and Beheeyem. The Grumpig uses Psywave to fire psychic energy waves, the Beheeyem uses Zen Headbutt, and the Kadabra uses Psychic to telekinetically lift Onix. Flygon uses Dragon Claw to slash the Kadabra, making them release Onix. Poochyena uses Crunch to bite the Beheeyem, while Ralts uses Magical Leaf to throw multicolored leaves at the Grumpig. They took out all the Evil Pokemon and proceed to the next area, which is a floating platform inside a giant pit cave.

Max: Whoa! Where are we?

Brock: I believe we're on some platform in a cave.

Ralts: We must be careful not to fall off the platform. It's a very long fall.

As the platform moves upward to the end of the cave, some more Grumpig, Kadabra, and Beheeyem attack. Onix uses Iron Tail to turn his giant tail into metal and hits the Grumpig. Vulpix uses Fire Spin on the Beheeyem, Mudkip uses Mud Shot to fire blobs of mud at the Kadabra, and Croagunk uses Brick Break to karate chop the Grumpig. After taking out all the Evil Pokemon, the platform reaches the end of the tunnel, where there is a door. The gang went through the door and it takes them to a waterfall with a cave under it.

Max: Are we really going down that waterfall?

Brock: If we wanna rescue the eggs, then yes.

The gang jumps down the cave, dodging some Chikurimon, until they landed on the ground, where they got attacked by more Grumpig and some new Pokemon called Hatterene.

Max: What kinda Pokemon is that?

Brock: I believe they are called Hatterene. They come from the Galar Region.

Croagunk: Well, wherever they come from, we better take them out!

The Hatterene uses Dazzling Gleam to emit multicolored lights from their bodies, doing some damage to Brock and Max's Pokemon. Onix and Flygon then uses Earthquake to make the ground shake violently, taking out all the Grumpig and Hatterene. The gang then proceeds to the next area and found the Pokemon Eggs.

Brock: Good job, guys. All we gotta do now is return the eggs to the nearby Pokemon Village.

Max: But I believe those eggs might be a trap.

?: That is correct, little boy.

Brock, Max, and their Pokemon turns around to see a white cat-like Pokemon with a purple tail. He's the Legendary Psychic Pokemon, Mewtwo.

Mewtwo: So you pests had made it this far.

Vulpix: Mewtwo! But I thought you had changed your ways and stopped hating humans!

Mewtwo: Yes, that was true. But that was the past now. Now I can focus on getting rid of you lot.

Max and his Pokemon got in front of Brock and his Pokemon, glaring at Mewtwo.

Max: Make us!

Mewtwo: As you wish.

He pulls out the same cannon Gengar used: The Dark Cannon.

Mewtwo: This gun will turn you all into trophies!

Brock: This isn't gonna turn up well! Onix, get Max, Poochyena, Ralts, and Flygon outta here!

Onix: Why?

Brock: We can't let Mewtwo get his hands on them! He had to take us down first!

Mewtwo starts charging up his cannon. Onix then uses Iron Tail to throw Max, Poochyena, Ralts, and Flygon into the air. Max and his Pokemon watches in shock, as the black arrows hit Brock, Onix, Vulpix, Mudkip, and Croagunk, as they were turned into a trophy.

Max: BROCK! NOOOOO!

Max and his Pokemon were sent flying to the other side of Mystery Jungle. Meanwhile, Ash, T.K., Pikachu, Charmander, Treecko, Gible, and Patamon has climbed down the Sky Tower and made their way to the Beau Plains.

T.K.: Now, where are we?

Ash: I believe this is the Beau Plains. It's the main landscape of this world.

Pikachu and Patamon are inspecting some footprints.

Ash: What is it, Pikachu?

Pikachu: I can tell that these footprints are Jimmy and May's footprints. That must mean they are here.

Charmander: Then we must hurry up! Cyndaquil, Aipom, Torchic, and Skitty must not also be too far!

Suddenly, Patamon saw something that made him gasp.

T.K.: What is it, Patamon?

Patamon: I saw Ken and Wormmon in the distance.

Everyone looks at where Patamon is pointing at and saw Ken and Wormmon on their hovercraft.

T.K.: Well, what do you know. We finally found them. Now let's get them before we lose sight of them!

Ash, T.K., and their Pokemon and Digimon made their way through the Beau Plains, chasing Ken and Wormmon. Along the way, they encountered more Evil Digimon like Arcadiamon Rookie, Kuwagamon, white harpy Digimon called Harpymon, and white cockatrice Digimon called Kokatorimon. The Arcadiamon and Kuwagamon uses Eraser Sickles and Scissor Arms on Patamon and the Pokemon, but they easily dodged their attacks. The Harpymon uses Wind Seeker to blow gusts of wind from their wings at Patamon and the Pokemon. The Kokatorimon uses Petra Fire to turn Patamon and the Pokemon into stone, but after a few seconds, they broke out of their petrification.

Treecko: HA! It would take alot more than wind and petrification to stop us!

Patamon uses Boom Bubble on the Arcadiamon, Charmander and Pikachu uses Flamethrower and Thunderbolt on the Kuwagamon, Treecko uses Mega Drain to drain the Harpymon's life energy, and Gible uses Dig to dig underground and resurface to attack the Kokatorimon. After taking out all the Evil Digimon, the gang enters some kinda ruins, where a wall rose up from the floor and starts moving.

T.K.: Is it just me, or is that wall moving?

Ash: I think it is! Let's run for it!

The gang quickly ran away from the moving wall, jump over pits, and attack the Numemon running away from them. They made their way to the end of the hallway and jump down the pit, which leads them to another hallway with more Arcadiamon and Sepikmon. Treecko uses Bullet Seed on the Arcadiamon, while Gible uses Dragon Pulse on the Sepikmon. They took out the Evil Digimon and made it out of the ruins, where they found a giant floating platform with three smaller platforms.

Ash: I wonder where this platform will take us to.

T.K.: Let's get on it and find out.

The gang got on the platform and it starts moving. Suddenly, they got attacked by the Arcadiamon and Flymon. The Arcadiamon and Flymon uses Erase Sickles and Brown Stingers on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Patamon uses Thousand Wings on the Arcadiamon, while Pikachu uses Electro Ball on the Flymon. After the Arcadiamon and Flymon were taken out, some red fire wizard Digimon name FlameWizardmon appears. The FlameWizardmon uses Fire Cloud to create a firestorm. Charmander uses Dragon Rage to burn the FlameWizardmon with blue dragon flames.(How ironic.)After the FlameWizardmon were taken out, some Sepikmon, Harpymon, FlameWizardmon, and Kunemon appears. Charmander uses Fire Fang on the Kunemon, Patamon uses Wing Slap on the Sepikmon, Treecko uses Pound to slap the Harpymon with his tail, and Gible uses Dragon Claw on the FlameWizardmon. After the Evil Digimon were taken out, the gang catches their breath.

Patamon: Please tell me those were the last round of Digimon.

When the platform reaches another cliff, some more Flymon, Harpymon, and FlameWizardmon appears.

Pikachu: Oh come on! Just when we had enough of these guys!

Charmander: Relax. We made it to the end. Once we take out those Digimon, we can proceed.

The gang finishes off the last group of Evil Digimon. Charmander uses Flamethrower on the Flymon, Pikachu uses Iron Tail on the Harpymon, and Patamon uses Thousand Wings on the FlameWizardmon. After taking out the Evil Digimon, the gang proceeds forward. Meanwhile, Ken was hovering towards the castle area in the far distance to put it in Subspace. He looks upset.

Wormmon: Ken, what is the matter?

Ken: I know we are hurting these innocent Pokemon and Digimon, but-

?: KEN!

Ken turns to see that Ash, T.K., and their Pokemon and Digimon has caught up to him.

T.K.: Now we got you!

Ash: Stop him, guys!

Charmander and Gible jumps up, trying to grab the bomb to stop Ken.

Ken: Stop where you are, Pokemon!

He moves the platform upwards to move the bomb away from their grasp.

Gible: Darn it! We missed!

Pikachu and Treecko then leaps on Charmander and Gible's heads and tried to reach the bomb, only to miss it as well. Patamon then leaps on Pikachu's head to try to reach the bomb, only for him to miss it as well.

Ken: Wormmon, let's get outta here!

Ken and Wormmon flew away, as Pikachu, Charmander, Treecko, Gible, and Patamon fell headfirst to the ground. Ash and T.K. ran up to them.

Ash: Are you all OK?

Patamon and the Pokemon got up.

Treecko: We're fine, Ash.

The gang saw Ken and Wormmon flying far away from them.

T.K.: Darn it! They got away!

Ash: Forget about them. We gotta find Jimmy and May first.

Pikachu: Next time, Patamon. Don't use our heads as stairs.

Patamon sweatdrops. The gang continues their search for Jimmy and May.


That's it for chapter 3. Next time, Max will meet Takuya and Nate will meet Calem and Gary.
