Chapter 4: More Mystery Jungle Mayhem

Back at Mystery Jungle, Max, Poochyena, and Ralts were riding on Flygon, trying to search for Brock and his Pokemon, who were turned into a trophy by Mewtwo.

Max: Poor Brock. We gotta go back and help him.

Ralts: But what if Mewtwo turns us into trophies as well?

Before Max could reply, Flygon notices something.

Flygon: Guys, I found something!

Max: Did you find Brock and Mewtwo?

Flygon: No, but it's something interesting. Look!

Max, Poochyena, and Ralts looks down at the lake to see smoke.

Max: I wonder what that is. Land us there, Flygon.

Flygon lands by the edge of the lake. Before Max and his Pokemon could see what was in the smoke, they hear something in the lake.

Poochyena: What was that?

Out of the lake came a large green Legendary Dragon Pokemon called Rayquaza, scaring the boy and his Pokemon.

Max: It's Rayquaza!

Rayquaza fires a Dragon Pulse at the smoking area, creating an explosion. Rayquaza then grabs Max and his Pokemon and wraps his huge tail around them, trying to squeeze them.

Max: ARGH! ASH! MAY! HELP US!

Suddenly, out of the fire came BurningGreymon, who survived the fall and Dragon Pulse. He uses his speed to headbutt into Rayquaza, making him loosen his grip on Max and his Pokemon, allowing them to escape. BurningGreymon lands in between Max and Rayquaza.

BurningGreymon: Leave this guy to me.

Rayquaza was about to fire another Dragon Pulse, but BurningGreymon dodges the attack and uses Crimson Fanger to charge up his attack and does a powerful flame tackle on Rayquaza. The attack hits Rayquaza, making him fall back to the lake. BurningGreymon lands back to Max.

Max: Thanks for saving us. What kinda Pokemon are you?

BurningGreymon: I'm not a Pokemon. I'm a Digimon.

Poochyena: Digimon?

Suddenly, Rayquaza rises back up from the lake.

BurningGreymon: It's not over yet. We have to work together.

Max: Right! Poochyena, Ralts, it's time to tip the scale!

Poochyena and Ralts starts glowing.

Poochyena: Poochyena Pokevolve to...MIGHTYENA!

Poochyena has transformed into a bigger gray hyena.

Ralts: Ralts Warp Pokevolve to...GALLADE!

Ralts has transformed into a tall white and green fighter Pokemon with blade-like arms.

Max: Now this should get interesting!

BurningGreymon uses Pyro Barrage to fire heat bullets from his Rudriya Darpana cannons at Rayquaza, but the attack did very little damage to the Legendary Pokemon. Rayquaza was about to use Dragon Pulse again, but Mightyena uses Sucker Punch to strike first, doing alot of damage. Rayquaza then uses Dragon Tail to make his tail glow with light blue energy and hits Mightyena. Gallade uses Leaf Blade to make his arms glow with green energy and slash at Rayquaza. Rayquaza then uses Dig to dig underground and fly upward to Gallade, doing alot of damage. Flygon uses Dragon Claw on Rayquaza, doing alot of damage to him. Rayquaza then spins in the air and uses Thunder to summon lighting from the sky to zap Flygon.

BurningGreymon: OK! This dragon is really getting on my nerves! We should finish him off!

Mightyena uses Crunch on Rayquaza, while Gallade uses Focus Blast to charge up a light blue energy sphere and threw it at Rayquaza. Flygon uses Outrage to cover himself in a red aura and attack Rayquaza in a rampage. BurningGreymon uses Wildfire Tsunami to create a powerful flaming tornado on Rayquaza. All of the attacks hit Rayquaza, knocking him back to the lake.

Max: We did it! We won!

Mightyena and Gallade reverts back to their normal stages. Max pulls out his Pokeball.

Max: You did awesome, Flygon! You deserve a rest.

He returns Flygon to his Pokeball. BurningGreymon then reverts to a boy with brown hair, wearing a yellow hat with goggles, a red jacket with a yellow shirt under it, and brown pants. Max and his Pokemon were surprised.

Max: Whoa! You're really a kid?

Boy: Yep. My name is Takuya Kanbara. I'm one of the Legendary Warriors.

Max: Nice to meet you, Takuya. I'm Max. I'm a Pokemon Trainer.

He points to Poochyena and Ralts.

Max: And they are my Pokemon, Poochyena and Ralts.

Poochyena & Ralts: Hi there.

Takuya: Nice to meet you, Max. You remind me of Tommy. Well, I gotta see T.K. and see if he's alright.

He begins to walk away, but then Max pulls him back.

Max: Wait! You can't leave! My friend Brock was kidnapped by Mewtwo! Please, help me save him!

Takuya: Can't you find someone else? I'm a little busy.

He was about to walk away again, but Max grabs him again.

Max: NO! Come on!

He drags Takuya away by the jacket.

Takuya: Well, if you can't beat em, join em.

Ralts: That's Max alright.

Takuya finally agrees to help Max find Brock. They came across a wall and a strange door with an up arrow.

Takuya: Where does this door take us to?

Max: Beats me. We should probably go in to find out.

Max, Takuya, Poochyena, and Ralts went through the door to see that the wall that was there is gone.

Takuya: What happened to the wall that was there? It's gone.

Max: I'll bet that door must have something to do with it.

Poochyena: Well, this place wouldn't be called Mystery Jungle without some mysteries.

Suddenly, some Evil Pokemon like the Grumpig, Sigilyph, and Kadabra appears.

Ralts: Look! More Evil Pokemon!

Takuya: Then I guess I'll have to use my powers to fight!

Takuya pulls out his red and black Digivice called the D-Tector. Strips of data appears on his hand and he swipes it across his D-Tector.

Takuya: Execute! Spirit Evolution!

He transforms into a human Digimon with blonde hair and wearing red armor and mask.

Takuya: AGUNIMON!

Max: Cool! I think I should call in some more backup.

Max pulls out two Pokeballs.

Max: Shroomish, Shuppet, come on out!

He calls out a yellow mushroom Pokemon with green spots and a blue ghost Pokemon with multicolored eyes. The Grumpig uses Zen Headbutt, the Sigilyph uses Psybeam, and the Kadabra uses Psycho Cut to fire psychic energy blades, but the gang easily dodges all the attacks. Shroomish uses Stun Spore to release yellow powder from his body, paralyzing the Evil Pokemon. Agunimon uses Pyro Punch to deliver flaming punches on the Grumpig, while Shuppet uses Shadow Ball to throw dark energy balls at the Sigilyph and Kadabra. They took out the Evil Pokemon and went through a door with a down arrow. When they got out, a huge pit appears.

Max: Whoa! That door created a giant hole?

Agunimon: Well, you said this is Mystery Jungle after all.

Suddenly, some metal pterodactyl Digimon called Pteramon appears.

Max: Are those some of the Digimon you were talking about?

Agunimon: Yes. They are called Pteramon. Be very careful with them.

Max: No problem. They shouldn't be too hard.

The Pteramon uses Missile Storm to fire missiles from their wings, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Ralts uses Psychic to hold the Pteramon in place, allowing Agunimon to use Pyro Darts to throw fiery darts at them. After taking out the Pteramon, the gang jumps down the hole, taking out the Sigilyph along the way. They went through another up arrow door and it takes them to a dark cave.

Max: Why is it so dark in here? I can't see anything.

Shuppet: I'll go search for something in this cave.

Shuppet activates the searchlights in his eyes and saw a Bomb Block.

Shuppet: I found something! Maybe we can hit it and the whole cave will light up.

Agunimon: Leave it to me. I'll take care of it.

Agunimon uses Pyro Punch on the Bomb Block, making the whole cave light up.

Max: Way to go, Agunimon. Now we can get outta here.

Max, Agunimon, and their Pokemon jumps up the platforms that leads them out of the cave, where they got attacked by some Kadabra, Hatterene, Harpymon, and Pteramon. The Kadabra and Hatterene uses Psychic on Agunimon, but Poochyena uses Dark Pulse on the Kadabra, while Shuppet uses Faint Attack to charge at the Hatterene, disappear, and reappear behind the Hatterene to attack. They took out the Kadabra and Hatterene, freeing Agunimon. The Pteramon uses Raining Bombs to drop bombs on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Ralts uses Psybeam on the Pteramon, while Shroomish uses Mega Drain on the Harpymon. After taking out the Evil Digimon, the gang went through another down arrow door, where they encountered more Pteramon and Rhinomon. The Rhinomon uses Atomic Burst on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Agunimon uses Pyro Kick to deliver flaming kicks on the Rhinomon. When the Pteramon were about to prepare their attacks, Poochyena uses Sucker Punch on them. They took out the Evil Digimon and proceed to the next area.

Max: Finally! We're outta that maze!

In the next area, they got attacked by honeybee Digimon called Honeybeemon.

Agunimon: We're not outta the woods yet! We have Honeybeemon here!

The Honeybeemon uses Sweet Spray to emit pollen from their bodies at Max's Pokemon, making them feel woozy and unable to attack. They then were about to use Paralyze Sting to attack Max's Pokemon with their stingers, but Agunimon uses Pyro Tornado to spin himself into a fiery tornado, taking out the Honeybeemon. Max's Pokemon returns to normal.

Poochyena: What just happened?

Agunimon: You guys were affected by the Honeybeemon's Sweet Spray.

Ralts: Well, thanks for helping us, Agunimon.

The gang went through another up arrow door and the scenery changes from pink sky to green sky.

Max: What just happened?

Agunimon: Well, the scenery must have changed. Maybe we should look around some more.

The gang went inside the cave, where they got ambushed by some Grumpig and a Hatterene. The Grumpig uses Psywave, while the Hatterene uses Disarming Voice, where they let out charming cries, but the gang easily dodges the attacks. Poochyena uses Crunch on the Grumpig, while Shuppet uses Shadow Sneak to make his shadows sneak behind the Grumpig and attack them. Ralts uses Magical Leaf on the Hatterene, while Shroomish uses Seed Bomb to throw exploding seeds at the Hatterene. They took out the Evil Pokemon and a Bomb Block appears, which Agunimon destroys, making a rumble.

Max: What was that sound?

Agunimon: I don't know. We should go back and find out.

The gang went out of the cave and went through the down arrow door, changing the sky back to pink again. They went back to the cave and saw a new tunnel up the ceiling. Agunimon climbs up the tunnel and saw a button, which he pressed. He lands back down to Max and his Pokemon and went back out of the cave. They saw a door up by the ledge and jump up to it. They entered the door and it takes them to another cave with an up arrow door. They went through the door and saw a sleeping Rhinomon.

Max: Hey, that Digimon is asleep.

Agunimon: We should take it out quietly and proceed.

Agunimon uses Pyro Punch to take out the sleeping Rhinomon and another door appears. The gang went through the door and it takes them on a raft on the river.

Max: Whoa! Now we're on a raft?

Agunimon: Maybe this raft will take us somewhere.

As the gang rides the raft through the river, they got attacked by Evil Pokemon. The first group were some Grumpig and Sigilyph. As the Grumpig were about to attack, Shuppet uses Sucker Punch to take them out. The Sigilyph uses Air Cutter on Poochyena, doing some damage to him. Poochyena then uses Assurance on the Sigilyph, doing double damage to them. The Kadabra were next, as they used Psycho Cut on the gang, but they easily dodged the attacks. Shroomish uses Spore to release green powder on the Kadabra, making them fall asleep. Ralts then uses Psybeam on the Kadabra, taking them out. The Beheeyem attacks next, as they used Zen Headbutt on the gang, but Ralts uses Psychic to hold them in place, allowing Agunimon to throw his Pyro Darts at them. After the Beheeyem were taken out, a Hatterene appears.

Max: Oh come on! How much more of this can we take?

Agunimon: I think we're almost done. We just need to take out that Pokemon and we're safe.

Poochyena and Shuppet uses Dark Pulse and Shadow Ball on the Hatterene, taking it out. The gang took a breath of relief, as they take a safe ride through the rest of the river. When they reached the end of the river, they got off the raft and fought more Evil Pokemon like Grumpig, Hypno, Sigilyph, and Kadabra. Ralts and Shroomish uses Magical Leaf and Mega Drain on the Grumpig and Hypno, Poochyena and Shuppet uses Crunch and Shadow Sneak on the Sigilyph, and Agunimon uses Pyro Kick on the Kadabra. They took out all the Evil Pokemon and proceed to a Barrel Cannon.

Agunimon: Why is that barrel floating in the air?

Max: No time to ask questions. Just jump into it.

The gang jumps into the barrel and it fires them to the other side of the jungle, where they found Mewtwo.

Agunimon: Is this the guy?

Max: Yeah. It's time to get revenge for Brock!

All of Max's Pokemon starts glowing.

Poochyena: Poochyena Pokevolve to...MIGHTYENA!

Ralts: Ralts Pokevolve to...KIRLIA!

Ralts has transformed into a white humanoid Pokemon with green hair and two horns on his sides.

Shroomish: Shroomish Pokevolve to...BRELOOM!

Shroomish has transformed into a green and yellow humanoid mushroom Pokemon.

Shuppet: Shuppet Pokevolve to...BANETTE!

Shuppet has transformed into a black doll-like Pokemon with red eyes and a creepy smile. Mewtwo threw a Shadow Ball at Mightyena, doing some damage to him. Mightyena then uses Assurance on Mewtwo, doing even more damage to him. Kirlia uses Psybeam on Mewtwo, doing some damage to him. Mewtwo uses Psychic on Kirlia and threw him to Agunimon, doing some damage to them. Breloom uses Mach Punch to deliver a high-speed punch on Mewtwo, doing some damage to him. Banette uses Shadow Claw to make his claws glow with dark energy and slash at Mewtwo, doing alot of damage to him. Mewtwo uses Barrier to create a psychic barrier around him and charges at Breloom and Banette, doing some damage to them. Agunimon uses Pyro Tornado on Mewtwo, doing some damage to him. Mewtwo was on his knee.

Max: He's almost down! Now let's finish him!

Mightyena uses Dark Pulse on Mewtwo, knocking him out, and turning him into a trophy. Agunimon and Max's Pokemon reverts back to their normal stages.

Takuya: Way to go, Max! I'm surprised you had it in ya.

Max ran up to the trophy.

Max: This is for Brock! Take that!

He kicks it. Suddenly, the trophy breaks into purple liquid and disappears.

Max: What the...?

Poochyena then hears some bushes rustling.

Poochyena: It's a trap! Mewtwo set us up!

Takuya: Max, get down!

Takuya tackles Max to the ground, as a black arrow has passed them. Mewtwo appears from his hiding place.

Mewtwo: You didn't really think I let myself be defeated yet so easily, huh? Little boy, you shall join your friend soon enough!

He fires another arrow, but Max, Takuya, and their Pokemon jumps out of the way.

Max: Why you...

He marches up to Mewtwo, but Takuya grabs him.

Takuya: There's no time! Let's get outta here!

He leaps out into the clearing with Max.

Ralts: We don't have time to fight Mewtwo! We must retreat!

Poochyena, Shroomish, and Shuppet nods, as all of Max's Pokemon follows Max and Takuya. Mewtwo cackles, as he watches them leave.

Mewtwo: So the hunt begins.

?: You can continue on your hunt later.

Mewtwo picks up his communicator.

Mewtwo: Myotismon, you never let me have any fun.

Myotismon: I have located the Pokemon Trainer, May. Turn her into a trophy and then use the Shadow Bugs to clone her and use her against Ash. Then you must locate where Gengar took Sora and get her too. Then you can play with Max and the Legendary Warrior later.

Mewtwo: What about Tai? If Ash and Tai join forces, things could get messy.

Myotismon: My Digimon will deal with him. Now get to work!

Mewtwo: OK, OK, Myotismon. I'm on it.

He flew away from Mystery Jungle and starts hunting for May.


That's it for chapter 4. Sorry I couldn't get to do Nate's group. Next time, we'll cover Nate, Calem, and Gary.
