In the next chapter, Marina will meet Tai in the woods and Kari will meet Rosa in the lab. Some of Marina's Pokemon will be based on her Pokemon from Raikou: Legend of Thunder, Crystal's Pokemon from Pokemon Adventures, and Lyra's Pokemon. Rosa's Pokemon will also be a mixture of White and Whitley's Pokemon from Pokemon Adventures, as well as some original Pokemon I will give her.


Chapter 7: Lost In The Sinister Woods And Mysterious Lab

In the Sinister Woods, a girl with light blue hair with two pigtails, wearing a white jacket with a pink shirt under it, and light blue shorts was walking around. With her are a small light green sauropod Pokemon with a green necklace and a leaf on her head and a round blue mouse Pokemon with a white tummy and a round ball at the end of her tail. The girl's name is Marina Crystal. She is Jimmy's girlfriend and Pokemon Trainer from the Johto Region. Her Pokemon are Chikorita and Marill.

Chikorita: Marina, are you sure we're heading into the right direction? I am tired. My feet hurt.

Marill: Yeah, and this forest is really spooky. I'm certain something scary will come out.

Marina: I'm not sure, Chikorita and Marill. But we might need a rest first.

She spots a log.

Marina: That looks like a good spot. Let's sit down here.

Marina, Chikorita, and Marill sat on the log. Meanwhile, Tai and Agumon were walking through a tunnel and came across a wall with a symbol that looks like a sun.

Tai: OK, Crest of Courage. Please lend me your power.

The Crest of Courage glows and it shrinks and inserts itself to Tai's Tag of Courage. The wall that was there reveals the Sinister Woods.

Agumon: Now we got the Crest of Courage, Tai.

Tai: Now we can rescue Sora and Biyomon.

They started walking through the forest and walked past Marina and her Pokemon. Chikorita and Marill curled themselves up and fell asleep, as Marina searched her map.

Marina: I wonder...Where would Jimmy and May be? Let's see, we are here...

Before she could continue, it became dark. She looks up and gasps. The Rocket Frigate was above them. Chikorita and Marill woke up to see it too.

Chikorita: Marina, what was that?

The frigate drops the purple liquid and it forms into the Arcadiamon Rookie.

Marill: What are those things?

Marina: I don't know, Marill. I've never been so scared before.

?: PEPPER BREATH!

Suddenly, a few fireballs destroyed the Arcadiamon. Marina, Chikorita, and Marill looks around and saw Tai and Agumon coming to them.

Marina: Thank you so much.

Tai: No prob. Now help us out. Can your Digimon fight?

Marina: Digimon? Don't you mean Pokemon?

Tai: Oh, sorry. By the way, my name is Tai.

Agumon: And I'm Agumon.

Marina: Nice to meet you, Tai. My name is Marina Crystal.

She turns to Chikorita and Marill.

Marina: And they are my Pokemon, Chikorita and Marill.

Tai: Nice to meet you, Marina.

Marina: Chikorita, Marill, you gotta fight!

Chikorita uses Vine Whip to hit the Arcadiamon with her vines, while Marill uses Water Gun on the Sepikmon. Agumon uses Pepper Breath to breathe fireballs at the Goblimon.

Chikorita: You're very good, Agumon.

Agumon: Oh, you have seen nothing yet.

The gang went to the tree area, where they got attacked by Honeybeemon and black venomous spider Digimon called Dokugumon.

Chikorita: AAAAAHHHHH! BUGS!

Tai: Is something the matter?

Marina: Oh, that's Chikorita. She's weak against Bug-Type Pokemon.

Agumon: Well, I'm not afraid of any bugs!

Marina: Well, I do have some backup.

She pulls out a Pokeball.

Marina: Little Miss, come on out!

She calls out a dark gray ghost Pokemon wearing a red necklace. She is Little Miss the Misdreavus. The Honeybeemon uses Sweet Spray on Agumon, making him woozy, while the Dokugumon uses Poison Cobwebs to fire poison webs from their mouths. One of the attacks hit Agumon, while the rest of the gang dodges the rest.

Tai: Agumon! Are you OK?

Agumon: I'm fine, Tai. Those Honeybeemon got me distracted.

Marill: I'll take care of them!

Marill uses Rollout to roll her body like a boulder at the Honeybeemon, while Little Miss uses Shadow Ball on the Dokugumon. They took out the Evil Digimon and proceed to the next area, where they got attacked by the Sepikmon and Dokugumon. The Sepikmon threw their Spirit Boomerangs, while the Dokugumon uses Poison Threads to shoot poison webs from their spinnerets, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Agumon uses Claw Uppercut to uppercut the Sepikmon with his claws, while Little Miss uses Psybeam on the Dokugumon. They took out the Evil Digimon and proceed to the next area, which is the treetop area.

Tai: Well, now how do we cross over this area?

Marina: We should walk over that green path.

She points to the green path the trees have made.

Tai: Well, that was pretty convenient.

The gang walks over the green path, where they got attacked by the Pteramon and manta ray Digimon called Mantaraymon. The Pteramon uses Missile Storm, while the Mantaraymon uses Torpedo Ray to charge at the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Marill uses Bubblebeam on the Pteramon, while Chikorita uses Razor Leaf to throw sharp leaves at the Mantaraymon. They took out the Evil Digimon and use the springs to jump over to higher areas, where they got attacked by more Mantaraymon, Kokatorimon, and Dokugumon. The Kokatorimon uses Petra Fire to petrify Agumon and the Pokemon, letting the Dokugumon to damage them with their Poison Cobwebs. Agumon and the Pokemon soon got out and fought back. Agumon uses Claw Attack to slash at the Kokatorimon, Chikorita uses Energy Ball on the Mantaraymon, and Little Miss uses Psywave on the Dokugumon. They took out the Evil Digimon and got out of the Sinister Woods and into the Beau Plains.

Marina: We're finally outta the woods!

Suddenly, some more Evil Digimon like the Kuwagamon and FlameWizardmon appears.

Tai: But we're not outta trouble yet! Let's take out those Digimon!

The Kuwagamon uses Scissor Arms, while the FlameWizardmon uses Fire Cloud, but the gang still dodges their attacks. Agumon uses Pepper Breath on the Kuwagamon, while Marill uses Water Gun on the FlameWizardmon. They took out the Evil Digimon and proceed to the next area, where there is a series of Trackballs in a line and Argomon In-Training under those lines. Agumon uses Claw Uppercut on one of the Trackballs, making it hit the other Trackballs, which hits all the Argomon. They proceed to the next area, where they are attacked by yellow tortoise Digimon called Tortomon.

Marina: What are those Digimon?

Agumon: They are called Tortomon. Watch out for their Strong Carapace attacks.

The Tortomon uses Strong Carapace to fire spikes from their shells at the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Chikorita and Marill uses Razor Leaf and Bubblebeam on the Tortomon, easily taking them out. The gang jumps up a series of platforms in the ruins and hits a Trackball to break a block. They then use the spring to jump to another cliff, where they got attacked by more Kuwagamon, FlameWizardmon, and Tortomon.

Chikorita: Great! Another ambush!

Agumon: Hopefully this will be the last one.

The Evil Digimon did their usual attacks like Scissor Arms, Fire Cloud, and Strong Carapace, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Agumon uses Pepper Breath on the Kuwagamon, Chikorita uses Energy Ball on the Tortomon, and Little Miss uses Shadow Ball on the FlameWizardmon. After taking out the Evil Digimon, Tai and Agumon saw the frigate flying away.

Tai: Come on!

Tai and Agumon chases after it. Marina returns Little Miss to her Pokeball, as she, Chikorita, and Marill follows after them.

Marina: Can you tell us what's going on?

Tai: There's a new evil group called the Subspace Army. And they are planning to destroy this world by using bombs to cover it with Subspace.

Marill: That's terrible!

Agumon: Agreed! And we were worried if Sora and Biyomon got hurt...I shouldn't have left her.

Tai: I know...

Marina: Don't worry. Let us help you.

Chikorita: Hey, did you say Sora and Biyomon? Are they like...your girlfriends?

Tai and Agumon blushes.

Agumon: Heh, I wish.

They reached the end of the path, as they watched the frigate flying away.

Tai: Darn! They got away!

Marina: So now what do we do?

Agumon saw another path leading the other way.

Agumon: I guess we'll have to take a different path.

Tai: That's right. There's a field there. Maybe we'll find it there. Let's go!

They ran off along the other path, following the frigate. Inside the frigate, there was a box lying on the ground, which moves a little bit. Hmm...In another part of the world, in a secret lab, it was very dark, but it is still running. The lid of the vent kicks open and a girl climbs down. She has short brown hair, wears a magenta and white sleeveless shirt, long magenta fingerless gloves, and yellow shorts. With her is a white cat Digimon with blue eyes, wearing yellow gloves, has black claws, and a ring on her tail. The girl's name is Kari Kamiya. She is Tai's younger sister and one of the Digidestined. Her Digimon is Gatomon.

Gatomon: Kari, are you sure this is the right place?

Kari: Of course I'm sure, Gatomon. The Crest of Light must be here somewhere.

They have to be careful while going into the lab. If they get spotted by the enemies, they could be captured. They went up an elevator and sneak into a nearby room.

?: HELP!

Kari and Gatomon turns around and gasps. They saw a girl and her two Pokemon in prison. The girl has brown Sailor Moon-like hair, wears a white half-hat, white t-shirt with light blue sleeves, yellow skirt, and black long socks covering her legs. Her Pokemon are a green snake with a yellow tummy and leaf-shaped tail and a white and black flying squirrel with yellow wings on her arms. The girl is the Pokemon Trainer, Rosa White from the Unova Region. Her Pokemon are Snivy and Emolga.

Kari: They captured you? Who are you?

Rosa: My name is Rosa. My Pokemon are Snivy and Emolga.

Gatomon: How did you get captured?

Snivy: We were trying to find out about this base, when all of a sudden, we got captured and put in this prison.

Kari saw what looks like a device for the prison door.

Kari: Hold on. We'll get you out. By the way, my name is Kari Kamiya.

Gatomon: And I'm Gatomon. I'll strike that device and set you free.

Gatomon uses Lightning Paw to punch at the device, setting Rosa, Snivy, and Emolga free. Suddenly, the alarm went off.

Rosa: Oh no! The prison must have set off the alarm! We better get outta here!

She pulls out a Pokeball.

Rosa: Swanna, come on out!

She calls out a white swan called Swanna. The girls got out of the prison and they encountered the Guardromon and gray mechanical Digimon called Mekanorimon. The Guardromon uses Grenade Destroyer to fire missiles from their arms, while the Mekanorimon uses Twin Beams to fire lasers from their chests, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Gatomon uses Lightning Paw to rapidly punch the Guardromon, while Snivy uses Leaf Blade to make her tail glow and slash at the Mekanorimon. Emolga uses Spark to charge her body with electricity and charges at the Guardromon, while Swanna uses Water Pulse on the Mekanorimon. They took out the Evil Digimon and proceed to the next area, which is a huge room with circling platforms.

Kari: What is this place?

Rosa: I believe this is a big room that leads to many rooms.

Gatomon: OK. What room should we go to?

Snivy: We should head to that room.

The gang went to the southeastern room, which takes them to a big platform with two floating platforms, where they got ambushed by some Guardromon and Gorillamon.

Kari: It's an ambush! You took us to the wrong way!

Rosa: No! I know this is the right way! We just need to take out those Digimon!

The Guardromon uses Grenade Destroyer, while the Gorillamon fires their Energy Cannons, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Gatomon uses Lightning Kick to rapidly kick the Guardromon, while Snivy uses Mega Drain to drain the Gorillamon's life energy. They took out the Evil Digimon and proceed forward. They went through the hallway until they came across a room with a key.

Gatomon: Is that a key?

Emolga: Yes. We need it to enter a room.

Rosa grabs the key, but then they got ambushed by more Guardromon and Flybeemon. The Flybeemon uses Lightning Sting on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Emolga uses Electro Ball on the Guardromon, while Swanna uses Aerial Ace to do high-speed aerial attacks on the Flybeemon without a miss. They took out the Evil Digimon and proceed down the hallway. They found a locked door and used the key to unlock it. They jumped on some platforms that leads to a higher level and went down the hallway, where they encountered a Gorillamon guarding a key.

Snivy: We need to take out that Digimon to get the key!

Gatomon uses Cat Eye Hypnosis to hypnotize Gorillamon, making him unable to attack. Snivy then uses Energy Ball to take him out and grabs the key. They went back to the hallway and used the key to unlock the locked door, which leads to another room with a button.

Kari: Is this the room we need to enter?

Rosa: Yes. There's a button here we need to activate.

They pressed the button and the platform in the room starts rising up to the upper floor. They ran back to the hallway and returned to the main hall, where they jumped on one of the circling platforms. They jumped off the platform and went to the eastern room, which takes them to a huge room with a giant pit and the same platform from the lower floor.

Kari: Whoa! What a huge pit!

Rosa: Look! There's that same platform we activated from the lower floor. We can now use it.

They jumped on the platform and it moves them forward through a very long room. They dodged alot of Chikurimon along the way until they reached a wall, where they got ambushed by some Kunemon. The Kunemon uses Electric Thread on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Emolga uses Acrobatics to do aerial strikes on the Kunemon, taking them out, and revealing a button. Gatomon pressed the button and a series of platforms rose up.

Snivy: Now we can get outta here.

The gang jumps over the platforms, dodges the Chikurimon again, and returns to the main hall. They jumped on the circling platforms and jumped off to the western ledge, where they climbed up the ladder that takes them to the northwestern room, which has a waterfall and a series of ladders. The gang looks all the way up the room.

Kari: That's a really long way up.

Rosa: I know. We need to climb all the way to the top.

They climbed up some ladders, fighting off some Evil Digimon like the Mamemon and tank Digimon called Tankmon. The Mamemon uses Smirk Bombs, while the Tankmon uses their Hyper Cannons to fire missiles from their nose cannons, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Swanna uses Air Slash on the Tankmon, while Emolga uses Shockwave to unleash blue electricity from her body to zap multiple Mamemon. They took out the Evil Digimon and reach the top of the room. They proceed to the next room, where they got attacked by the BigMamemon and Tankmon. Gatomon uses Lightning Paw on the BigMamemon, while Snivy uses Mega Drain on the Tankmon. They took out the Evil Digimon and proceed forward, dodging the Quark Mines along the way. When they made it to a big platform with three floating platforms, they got ambushed by the Mamemon with metal helmets, metal claws on their right arms, and arm cannons on their left arms called MetalMamemon.

Emolga: Oh come on! How many more Digimon are there?

Gatomon: Relax. Maybe just a few more and were outta here.

The MetalMamemon uses Metal Smirk Bombs to fire energy bombs from their arm cannons, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Gatomon uses Lightning Kick, Snivy uses Leaf Blade, while Emolga uses Spark on the MetalMamemon. After taking out the Evil Digimon, they proceed to the computer room. Rosa returns Swanna to her Pokeball and the girls searched around.

Rosa: So what are we looking for?

Kari: We're looking for the Crest of Light. I wonder if this computer has any cameras that shows it's location.

Snivy: Hey look!

Snivy points to the screen and Kari ran to it. There was a glass case in a huge room. In there is a pink symbol of an eight-pointed star.

Kari: There it is! My Crest of Light! Rosa, let's hurry!

The girls nodded at each other and ran out of the room.


That's it for chapter 7. Before anyone asks, I know Marina's Starter Pokemon in Legend of Thunder is Totodile. However, Silver already has Totodile in the last chapter, so I'm going with Chikorita like in Pokemon Adventures. Anyway, next time will be a rival battle between Ash and Tai.
