Chapter 10: Exploring Mt. Mortar And Relic Castle
By the time Ash, Charmander, Pikachu, Tai, Agumon, Jimmy, Cyndaquil, Aipom, T.K., Patamon, Marina, Chikorita, and Marill got into Team Rocket's Castle, they saw the rubble and a giant hole in the ceiling. They then saw a hole in the left side of the room.
Marina: Someone must have kidnapped Sora and escaped!
Ash: It must be Mewtwo! Only he has the power to do that!
They looked at each other and nodded.
Jimmy: Let's go further inside. This will lead to Mt. Mortar.
They went into the cave called Mt. Mortar. Ash and Marina pulls out two Pokeballs each, while Jimmy pulls out one.
Ash: Treecko, Gible, I choose you!
Jimmy: Beedrill, come on out!
Marina: Little Miss, Cubone, come on out!
They called out Treecko, Gible, Beedrill, Little Miss, and a brown lizard Pokemon with a cream-colored tummy, wearing a skull helmet, and carrying a bone weapon. The Pokemon is Cubone. As they went into the cave, they saw a giant boulder chasing them.
Jimmy: Oh come on! Why do we always have boulders chasing us in caves?
They quickly ran away from the boulder and jump over to the next area, which has the ceiling closing in on them. They got away just in time and encountered some Grumpig along the way.
Tai: I'm guessing those are some bad Pokemon.
Ash: Yes, and I'll bet they work for Mewtwo!
The Grumpig uses Zen Headbutt on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Agumon uses Claw Attack, while Patamon uses Wing Slap on the Grumpig. They took out the Evil Pokemon and climb up the ladder, where they got ambushed by more Grumpig, Kadabra, and Sigilyph. The Kadabra uses Psychic to lift Agumon and Patamon, while the Sigilyph uses Air Cutter on the two Digimon, doing some damage to them. Treecko uses Mega Drain, while Gible uses Dragon Pulse on the Grumpig. Beedrill uses Twineedle, while Cubone uses Bone Club to whack the Kadabra with his bone. Little Miss uses Dark Pulse on the Sigilyph. They took out the Evil Pokemon and proceed to the next area, which is a long pit with a closing ceiling.
T.K.: Aww, great! Not only do we have Evil Pokemon and boulders chasing us, but also ceilings closing in on us!
The gang jumps down a series of platforms down the pit and got out just in time before the ceiling closes in on them. They went to another pit with the floor rising up. They jumped up the platforms and got out of the pit before the floor closed in on them. Along the way, they encountered some Grumpig and Hypno. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on the Grumpig, while Charmander uses Flamethrower on the Hypno, taking them out. They proceed to the last pit with the falling ceiling and proceed to jump down the platforms until they reached the end of the pit. They climbed up the ladder and proceed to the next room with moving walls with holes in them.
Marina: Great! First we have boulders chasing us, then we have ceilings and floors falling and rising on us, and now we having moving walls!
Jimmy: Well, some of the walls have holes in them. Maybe we can jump through them.
The gang jumps through the holes in the moving walls and proceeds to the next room, which has fire pits, a key, and a locked door.
Chikorita: AAAAAHHHHH! There's fire in this room! I can't stand fire!
Cyndaquil looks at her offended.
Chikorita: Well, except maybe from you, Cyndaquil.
Cyndaquil smiles.
Pikachu: We need to grab that key and take it to that door without getting burned.
Cyndaquil: I'll take care of it. I can take the heat.
He jumps over the fire pits and grabs the key. He then uses it to unlock the door.
Cyndaquil: The door is open now. Just be careful over the fire.
The gang jumps over the fire pits and made it to the next room, which has a button and poison gas.
Charmander: Great! Now we have poison gas! How many more traps are there?
Patamon: At least there's a button we can press.
Patamon pressed the button and the poison gas disappears. The gang made their way through the tunnel, where they encountered some Sigilyph. The Sigilyph uses Psybeam on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Aipom uses Iron Tail on the Sigilyph, taking them out. The gang proceeds to jump up some platforms, which starts sinking as soon as they landed on them. They quickly jumped off the platforms and climbed up the ladder in the end. They proceed to the next room, where they got ambushed by some Sigilyph, Tortomon, and Candlemon.
Agumon: Now we got some Evil Digimon here!
The Tortomon uses Strong Carapace, while the Candlemon uses Lava Loogie on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Charmander and Pikachu uses Dragon Rage and Electro Ball on the Sigilyph, Cyndaquil and Chikorita uses Flame Wheel and Magical Leaf on the Tortomon, while Marill uses Bubblebeam on the Candlemon. They took out the Evil Pokemon and Digimon and proceed to the next room, which has more platforms and poison gas. Patamon pressed the button to deactivate the poison gas. The gang jumps up the platforms to reach the next tunnel, where there are Beheeyem, Candlemon, and Honeybeemon. Treecko and Gible uses Bullet Seed and Dragon Claw on the Beheeyem, Beedrill and Little Miss uses Pin Missile and Psybeam on the Honeybeemon, while Cubone uses Bonemerang to throw his bone like a boomerang at the Candlemon. They took out the Evil Pokemon and Digimon and proceed to the next room, where there is more poison gas. When Patamon pressed the button, the poison gas disappears, but the ceiling also starts closing in on them.
Treecko: Great! Now we have the ceiling closing in on us!
The gang quickly ran to the next room and pressed another button to deactivate the poison gas, but also some Hatterene appears.
Aipom: Now we have more Evil Pokemon appearing!
The Hatterene uses Dazzling Gleam on the gang, doing some damage to them. Agumon and Patamon uses Pepper Breath and Boom Bubble, while Charmander and Pikachu uses Fire Fang and Iron Tail on the Hatterene, taking them out. The gang proceeds to a canyon with a series of platforms and some Sigilyph and Beheeyem. The Sigilyph uses Psybeam, while the Beheeyem uses Zen Headbutt, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Cyndaquil and Chikorita uses Flamethrower and Razor Leaf on the Beheeyem, while Aipom and Marill uses Swift and Water Gun on the Sigilyph. They took out the Evil Pokemon and jump across a series of platforms to cross the canyon. They came across the next tunnel, where there are some Kadabra and a boulder.
Ash: Great! Now we have more Evil Pokemon to fight!
Suddenly, the boulder ran over the Kadabra. The gang got out of the way as the boulder rolls along.
T.K.: Well, look on the bright side. That boulder took care of those Pokemon.
The gang made their way through the tunnel and pressed another button to deactivate the poison gas. Before they would get out of the cave, there was one more Hatterene. The Hatterene uses Disarming Voice on the gang, but they easily dodged her attack. Beedrill uses Poison Jab on the Hatterene, taking her out. When the gang got out of the cave, they saw Mewtwo running away with the Sora and Biyomon trophy.
Tai: Sora, hold on!
Agumon: We'll save you, Biyomon!
Mewtwo: Oh, we'll see about that!
He threw a Shadow Ball at Tai and Agumon, which they narrowly dodged. Ash, Charmander, and Pikachu leaps in the air to attack, but Mewtwo held up the trophy in front of them.
Agumon: Ash, Charmander, Pikachu, don't kill them!
Ash and his Pokemon held back their attacks and leaps back.
Patamon: I'll stop him! Boom Bubble!
Patamon fires an air bubble, but Mewtwo dodges the attack and fell off the cliff.
Tai & Agumon: SORA! BIYOMON!
Tai and Agumon ran to the cliff, but stops as Mewtwo appears, as he was flying away with the trophy on his arm.
Mewtwo: I suggest you leave this place, because it will be covered in Subspace soon. So long, fools!
He flew off towards the Rocket Frigate.
T.K.: Darn it all! Now they got both May and Sora!
Ash & Pikachu: Don't worry, May and Skitty. We'll rescue you.
Tai & Agumon: Sora, Biyomon, hold on. We won't let them get away with this.
As Jimmy, Marina, and their Pokemon watches on, Aipom notices something on the ground. It was the badge that must have fallen off of Sora at some point. He picks it up and ate it. Jimmy walks up to his Pokemon.
Jimmy: Aipom, what are you doing?
Aipom: Nothing!
Marina grabs Jimmy's hand.
Marina: Jimmy, Mewtwo said that this place will become engulfed in Subspace!
Jimmy: Great! Guys, let's get outta here!
Charmander: But what about Calem, Chespin, Froakie, Davis, and Veemon?
Agumon: We can help them some other time. But we need to leave now!
The Pokemon Trainers, Digidestined, and their Pokemon and Digimon ran over to a cliff and jumps off it and lands safely in the ocean. They manage to get away in time, as Ken has used another Subspace Bomb to cover up Team Rocket's Castle and Mt. Mortar in Subspace. Back in the secret room, Myotismon smirks at this.
Myotismon: Excellent. It's all going according to plan.
Then on the screen, he saw a black ghost Pokemon with white long hair and a blue eye. It was Darkrai.
Darkrai: I hope things are going well, Myotismon.
Myotismon: It sure is, Lord Darkrai.
He bows to Darkrai. As soon as Darkrai disappears, Myotismon smirks.
Myotismon: And once that's done, I will usurp your power and make it mine.
Meanwhile, Nate, Gary, Oshawott, Tepig, Squirtle, and Eevee has entered the Relic Castle. Nate pulls out one Pokeball, while Gary pulls out two.
Nate: Unfezant, come on out!
Gary: Growlithe, Doduo, come on out!
They called out Unfezant, Growlithe, and a brown two-headed bird. They took the elevator and it takes them to a lower floor with a minecart. They rode on the minecart and it takes them down a pit, where they fell into a pond. They got out of the pond and went down the hallway, where they encountered alot of Digimon like the Argomon In-Training, Harpymon, Candlemon, and Chikurimon. The Harpymon and Candlemon did their usual attacks like Wind Seeker and Lava Loogie, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Growlithe uses Flame Wheel on the Argomon, Doduo uses Fury Attack to rapidly peck at the Harpymon, while Unfezant uses Air Cutter on the Candlemon. They took out the Digimon and made their way to the end of the hallway, dodging some Chikurimon. They also dodged falling spikes and made their way to a room with a giant gear holding two room-like platforms.
Nate: What's with that gear holding two rooms?
Gary: Well, we may find out if we step on one of those rooms.
The gang went inside one of the platforms and the gear starts moving them around, where they got attacked by more Digimon like the Phantomon and Gorillamon. The Phantomon and Gorillamon did their usual attacks like Shadow Scythes and Energy Cannon, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Tepig uses Flamethrower on the Phantomon, while Oshawott uses Water Pulse on the Gorillamon. They took out the Digimon and got off the platform to the next room, but stop when they saw a pit with three buttons on platforms.
Nate: Well, there's three buttons down there.
Gary: But they could be traps. What if we activated the wrong one and we fall to our dooms?
Unfezant: Don't worry. I'll take care of them.
Unfezant flew down to the platforms and below them is a floor.
Unfezant: Which button should I press?
Nate: Press all of them and see what happens.
Unfezant pressed all the buttons and the platforms and floor disappeared. Only the right button reveals the door.
Unfezant: Well, it looks like the right button has the door.
Nate: Good work, Unfezant. Now we can jump down safely.
The gang jumps down the pit and went through the door. It takes them through a long hallway with flame pillars, alot of Argomon, and Chikurimon. The gang dodges the flame pillars and Chikurimon and took out the Argomon along the way. They reached another minecart, which takes them to a platform at the end of the hallway. As the platform descends, spikes came out of the walls, which the gang avoids. They soon got attacked by the MetalMamemon, who fires their Metal Smirk Bombs at them, but they dodged their attacks. Oshawott and Tepig uses Razor Shell and Flame Charge, while Squirtle and Eevee uses Aqua Tail and Faint Attack on the MetalMamemon, taking them out. The gang keeps dodging the spikes until the platform reaches the bottom of the pit. The gang then got attacked by the BigMamemon and Candlemon. Growlithe uses Fire Fang on the BigMamemon, while Doduo uses Drill Peck on the Candlemon. They took out the Digimon and proceed down the hallway. When they reached the end, they entered a huge room with a platform.
Oshawott: I wonder what that platform would do if we get on it.
Squirtle: Well, let's find out. Maybe we'll encounter more Digimon.
The gang went on the platform and it starts moving. Suddenly, they got ambushed by Digimon like the Vilemon and Sealsdramon. The Vilemon uses Nightmare Shocker, while the Sealsdramon use Death Behind, but the gang easily dodges their attacks. Unfezant uses Air Slash on the Vilemon, while Oshawott uses Aqua Jet on the Sealsdramon. They took out the Digimon and the platform starts moving again. Suddenly, they got ambushed by more Vilemon and Harpymon. Tepig uses Rollout on the Vilemon, while Squirtle uses Bubblebeam on the Harpymon. They took out the Digimon and the platform continues moving. Then they got ambushed by more Vilemon and Karatenmon.
Tepig: Oh come on! How many more Digimon will we encounter?
Eevee: Maybe this will be the last round and then we're done.
The Karatenmon uses Feather Flare on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Eevee uses Hidden Power on the Vilemon, while Growlithe uses Flamethrower on the Karatenmon. Doduo uses Uproar to make loud noises at the Karatenmon, easily taking them out. After the Digimon were taken out, the platform takes the gang to the end of the hallway. The gang got off the platform and proceed to the next hallway, where there is a button and a wall.
Nate: I wonder what this button will do?
Gary: Let's press it and find out.
Oshawott pressed the button and the wall opens up, revealing another button and a wall. They pressed the button and the wall opens up, revealing even more buttons that opens up walls in a maze. Along the way, they fought off some Mamemon. When they made it out of the maze, they encountered a Gorillamon, who fires his Energy Cannon at them, but they dodged his attack. Unfezant uses Air Cutter on Gorillamon, taking him out. Before the gang can make it to the end of the hallway, they encountered some Karatenmon and Rhinomon. Oshawott uses Fury Cutter to slash the Karatenmon multiple times, while Tepig uses Flame Charge on the Rhinomon. They finally made it to Hydreigon on a giant platform.
Nate: We finally found the Hydreigon!
Gary: Now we need to defeat it to proceed!
Oshawott, Tepig, Squirtle, Eevee, Growlithe, and Doduo starts glowing.
Oshawott: Oshawott Pokevolve to...DEWOTT!
Tepig: Tepig Pokevolve to...PIGNITE!
Squirtle: Squirtle Pokevolve to...WARTORTLE!
Eevee: Eevee Pokevolve to...UMBREON!
Growlithe: Growlithe Pokevolve to...ARCANINE!
Growlithe has transformed into a bigger dog with the same fur and stripes.
Doduo: Doduo Pokevolve to...DODRIO!
Doduo has transformed into a three-headed bird. Dewott uses Razor Shell, while Pignite uses Heat Crash on Hydreigon, doing some damage to him. Hydreigon uses Dragon Breath to fire a green beam at Dewott and Pignite, doing some damage to them. Wartortle uses Aqua Tail, while Umbreon uses Crunch to bite Hydreigon, doing some more damage to him. Hydreigon uses Crunch to bite back at Wartortle and Umbreon, doing some damage to them. Unfezant uses Air Slash, while Arcanine uses Extremespeed to attack Hydreigon at lightspeed, doing some more damage to him. Dodrio uses Tri-Attack to fire three beams of fire, ice, and electricity at Hydreigon, doing some more damage to him. Hydreigon uses Dragon Pulse on Unfezant, Arcanine, and Dodrio, doing some damage to them.
Gary: Man, no matter how much damage we've done to Hydreigon, he just keeps fighting.
Nate: Let me beat him, Gary. I need to catch him for my collection.
Dewott uses Hydro Pump, while Unfezant uses Sky Attack on Hydreigon, doing alot of damage to him. Pignite and Arcanine uses Flare Blitz on Hydreigon, creating an explosion, and turning Hydreigon into a trophy. Dewott, Pignite, Wartortle, Umbreon, Arcanine, and Dodrio reverts back to their normal stages.
Nate: Good work, you guys. Now I can take care of this. Pokeball, GO!
Nate threw his Pokeball at the Hydreigon trophy. After the Pokeball shakes a few times, it stops shaking. Hydreigon was captured.
Nate: Alright! I caught a Hydreigon!
Nate and Gary returns Unfezant, Growlithe, and Doduo to their Pokeballs. As the gang made their way to the end of the ruins, they came to a huge room that looks like a stadium. They looked around the area.
Nate: Wow! Are you sure this is where it ends?
Gary: I'm pretty sure. But there's no one here. I wonder what was going on.
That's the end of chapter 10. Next time, Takato's group and Nate's group will battle Machinedramon.
