Chapter 14: Hidden Land Rescue And Mt. Coronet Adventure
In the Hidden Land, many Digi-Fish are attacking a giant Guardromon, who just stood still. Suddenly, his eyes opened and spins the fish off him. He looks down to see a boy with blue hair, wearing glasses, white t-shirt, gray shorts, and long black socks covering his legs. With him is a white seal Digimon with feet, red mohawk, green eyes, and black claws. They are Joe Kido and Gomamon of the Digidestined. Joe is shaking nervously.
Joe: Oh dear. I knew we should've never been here.
Gomamon then saw something in the distance.
Gomamon: Joe, I think I saw something.
Joe turns around and saw something coming their way. They saw a light blue wolf with yellow eyes, blue stripes, and purple claws coming towards them. Riding it is a boy with blonde hair, wearing a green sleeveless shirt, brown gloves, and blue pants. Joe and Gomamon recognizes them.
Gomamon: Garurumon!
Joe: And riding him is Matt!
Garurumon jumps high in the air and uses Garuru Thrust to slash the Guardromon, destroying him with ease. Garurumon then reverts to a smaller yellow wolf with red eyes, purple claws, yellow horn on his head, and wearing a light blue fur coat. He is Matt's Digimon, Gabumon. They turned to Joe and Gomamon.
Matt: Hey Joe. Long time no see.
Joe: That was incredible, Matt! What are you doing here?
Gabumon: We came to investigate this island to find out about the Subspace Army. What about you?
Gomamon: We were here to investigate the island too. I guess we have the same goal.
Matt: Well, I'm also here to look for my little brother, T.K. Wanna help me go look for him?
Joe: Sure. Since you helped me and Gomamon, we'll help you find T.K.
Matt, Joe, Gabumon, and Gomamon made their way down the path, encountering some more Evil Digimon like the Guardromon, Tankmon, Mekanorimon, and Machmon. All the Evil Digimon did their usual attacks like Grenade Destroyers, Heavy Cannons, Twin Beams, and Max Edge, but the gang dodges all of their attacks. Gabumon uses Blue Blaster to fire an ice stream at the Machmon, while Gomamon uses Surfer Dive to summon a giant water wave on the Guardromon, Tankmon, and Mekanorimon. They took out all the Evil Digimon and proceed to the next area, where they encountered a Cherrymon and some Pteramon. Cherrymon uses Vine Attack, while the Pteramon uses Raining Bombs, but the gang dodges their attacks. Gabumon uses Horn Attack to attack the Pteramon with his horn, while Gomamon uses Marching Fish to summon many Digi-Fish to attack Cherrymon. They took out all the Evil Digimon.
Joe: Wow! I'm amazed you can take out an Ultimate Level while being a Rookie.
Gomamon: Well, after saving the Digital World from the Dark Masters, we went through alot of training with stronger Digimon.
The gang climbs up the ladder to proceed to the next area, where they got ambushed by more Pteramon, Guardromon, Mekanorimon, Tankmon, and Tortomon. All the Evil Digimon did their usual attacks like Missile Storm, Grenade Destroyers, Twin Beams, Heavy Cannons, and Strong Carapace, but Gomamon uses Bubble Deflector to create a giant bubble shield around the gang and deflects all the attacks back at the Evil Digimon, taking them out. The gang made their way to the next area, where they encountered another Cherrymon and some Tankmon. Cherrymon uses Cherry Blast to make Gabumon feel all woozy, but Gomamon uses Marching Fish to take out the Tankmon and Cherrymon. Gabumon snaps back to normal.
Matt: That was incredible, Gomamon. If it wasn't for you, we would've been under Cherrymon's aroma.
Gomamon: Well, it was a good thing I'm around. All my attacks are pretty useful against those Champion and Ultimate Digimon.
The gang made their way to a cliff and saw a flying platform with some Arcadiamon Rookie and the Brock trophy on it. Following the platform are two figures. One is KendoGarurumon with Max riding on him. The other is Flygon with Poochyena and Ralts riding on him.
Gabumon: What do you see, Matt?
Matt: I saw a flying platform with some strange Digimon guarding a trophy of some boy. I also saw KendoGarurumon chasing it with some little boy riding him.
Joe: And following them are three strange Digimon.
Gomamon: Umm, I don't think they're Digimon.
Back with Max and KendoGarurumon.
Max: There he is! Flygon, use Dragon Breath on those Digimon!
Flygon uses Dragon Breath to take out the Arcadiamon.
KendoGarurumon: OK, Max. I'll drop you off here. Rescue your friend and then go to that island to save anyone else in it. I'll go and help Takuya fight off the Rocket Frigate.
Max: OK. Be careful.
KendoGarurumon flew above the platform and Max drops down. Flygon, Poochyena, and Ralts follows him.
Matt: This could be fun! Let's go, Joe!
Joe: Wait! What?
Matt grabs Joe's arm and jumps down to the platform. Gabumon and Gomamon looks at each other and nods and jumps down with them. Max and his Pokemon lands on the platform.
Max: Hold on, Brock!
He touches the trophy and Brock, Onix, Vulpix, Mudkip, and Croagunk came back to life. Brock's Pokemon broke the chains and they turned to Max.
Brock: Thanks, Max. I owe you one.
Then Matt, Joe, and their Digimon lands beside them.
Matt: Hey, did we miss the party?
Brock: Who are you two?
Matt: I'm Matt.
Joe: And I'm Joe.
Max: Nice to meet you. I'm Max.
Brock: And I'm Brock.
Max and Brock then saw Gabumon and Gomamon.
Brock: What kinda Pokemon are they?
Max: I don't think they're Pokemon. They're called Digimon.
Brock: Digimon?
Suddenly, alot of Evil Digimon appeared.
Matt: No time to talk! Right now, we have some Evil Digimon to take out!
Matt and Joe's Digivices started glowing, making Gabumon and Gomamon glow too.
Gabumon: Gabumon Digivolve to...GARURUMON!
Gomamon: Gomamon Digivolve to...IKKAKUMON!
Gomamon has transformed into a white walrus with feet, blue eyes, and a horn on his head.

The first wave of Evil Digimon were the Arcadiamon, Commandramon, and Goblimon. They used their usual attacks like Erase Sickles, M16 Assassin, and Goblin Strike, but the gang dodges their attacks. Garurumon uses Howling Blaster to fire an ice stream at the Arcadiamon, while Ikkakumon uses Harpoon Torpedoes to to fire his horns like missiles.

Matt: OK. That's the first wave down.
The next wave of Evil Digimon were the Mantaraymon, BomberNanimon, and Karatenmon. They used their usual attacks like Torpedo Ray, Free Throw Bombs, and Harmony Swords, but the gang still dodges their attacks. Flygon uses Dragon Pulse on the Mantaraymon, Garurumon uses Freeze Fang to do icy bites on the BomberNanimon, while Ikkakumon uses Northern Lights to fire an icy breath at the Karatenmon.

Ninetales, Marshtomp, Toxicroak, Mightyena, Kirlia, Garurumon, and Ikkakumon reverts back to their normal stages. Brock and Max did a high-five.
Max: We did it!
Brock: That was incredible!
Then KendoGarurumon flew by.
KendoGarurumon: You did well, kid. You rescued your friend and you've teamed up with Matt and Joe. Well, I'm off to help Takuya. Good luck.
He flew away. Max waves goodbye.
Max: Thank you, KendoGarurumon! Goodbye!
Brock and Max then returns Vulpix, Croagunk, and Flygon to their Pokeballs. The platform then starts heading towards the hangar inside the Hidden Land.
Max: So this is where the Subspace Army is?
Brock: Subspace Army?
Max: You don't know? Well, let me explain.
Meanwhile, Nate, Gary, Takato, Silver, Ryo, and their Pokemon and Digimon came to the foot of Mt. Coronet. They looked at the very top and saw Grani and the Rocket Frigate in a gunfight.
Gary: Hey, what's going on here?
Takato: It looks like Grani is fighting that frigate. I'm guessing Takuya and Koji are battling it.
Silver pulls out two Pokeballs.
Silver: Murkrow, Seadra, come on out!
He calls out Murkrow and Seadra. Murkrow evolves into Honchkrow and Silver, Totodile, Sneasel, and Seadra got on him.
Silver: Guys, I'm sorry, but I gotta go. I gotta get my frigate back.
He commands Honchkrow to fly up to Mt. Coronet.
Nate: Silver, wait! We're coming with you!
Ryo: Let him go. He's gotta do what he's gotta do.
When Honchkrow made his way to a quarter of the mountain, Silver saw someone climbing it. He saw a girl with blue hair, wearing a white snowcap, magenta scarf, black sleeveless shirt with a pink skirt, and pink boots. She is Dawn Platinum, the Pokemon Coordinator from Sinnoh. She is riding a big white fairy Pokemon called Togekiss. Also with her are a blue penguin chick with a light blue tummy, a brown bunny with cream-colored cotton covering her feet, lower body, and tips of her ears, and a white squirrel with a light blue stripe on her back and yellow circles on her cheeks. They are Dawn's Pokemon, Piplup, Buneary, and Pachirisu. Togekiss stops at the halfway point.
Dawn: OK, Togekiss. I think we can stop here.
Silver: It's Dawn. What is she doing here?
As Honchkrow continues flying up the mountain, he flew past Dawn.
Silver: Hey Dawn. See you at the top.
Piplup: Man, how rude of him! He should at least stop and chat for awhile!
Dawn: Calm down, Piplup. Let's race after him.
Togekiss continues chasing after Honchkrow. Suddenly, They got attacked by the Arcadiamon Rookie.
Dawn: What are those things?
Silver: They're called Digimon. We have to fight them back.
The Arcadiamon uses Erase Sickles on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Piplup uses Bubblebeam on the Arcadiamon, easily taking them out. The gang jumps up some platforms to reach higher levels. Along the way, they encountered some Tortomon and Sepik, who uses Strong Carapace and Spirit Boomerangs on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Buneary uses Ice Beam on the Tortomon, while Pachirisu uses Spark on the Sepikmon, easily taking them out. The gang climbs up some ladders, where they encountered some Arcadiamon and Honeybeemon along the way. The Honeybeemon uses Sweet Spray to make some of the Pokemon feel woozy, but Togekiss uses Air Slash on the Honeybeemon and Arcadiamon, easily taking them out. The gang then jumps over some spikes to reach the next level, where they encountered some Kokatorimon, Numemon, and Phantomon.
Piplup: How many more Digimon are there?
Totodile: Likely many more. We still have to take them out.
The Numemon tried to run away, but Totodile uses Water Gun to take them out. The Kokatorimon uses Petra Fire to petrify the Pokemon, allowing the Phantomon to damage them with their Shadow Scythes. The Pokemon soon broke out of petrification and fought back. Sneasel uses Shadow Claw on the Phantomon, while Seadra uses Dragon Pulse on the Kokatorimon. They took out the Digimon and jump on the moving platforms. They jumped all the way to the top and jumped into a Barrel Cannon, which fires them through a series of barrels. The barrels fired them to the next level, where they encountered more Kokatorimon and Phantomon. Totodile uses Ice Fang on the Kokatorimon, while Honchkrow uses Night Slash on the Phantomon. They took out the Digimon and jump on some more platforms, which takes them to the next level. There is a lone floating platform above them.
Pachirisu: What is that platform up there?
Sneasel: Let's get on it and find out.
The gang jumps on the platform and it starts moving up. Along the way, some Goblimon and Phantomon attacks. The Goblimon uses Goblin Strike, while the Phantomon uses Diabolic Stars on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Piplup uses Drill Peck on the Goblimon, while Pachirisu uses Discharge on the Phantomon. They took out the Digimon and the platform made it's way to the top. The gang jumps off the platform and jumps up the icy stairs moving in and out of the walls. It takes them to the next level, where there are more Arcadiamon and ice platforms moving in and out of the walls. Buneary uses Dizzy Punch to make both of her ears glow and punch the Arcadiamon with her ears, taking them out. The gang jumps over the ice platforms and made there way to the next level, where they got attacked by the MetalMamemon. Suddenly, the ceiling with spikes started closing in on the gang.
Dawn: Look out! We have more Digimon and those spikes closing in on us!
Silver: Then we'll have to take out those Digimon fast and get outta here!
The MetalMamemon fires their Metal Smirk Bombs at the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Togekiss uses Aura Sphere on the MetalMamemon, easily taking them out. The gang made it through the door before the spikes could crush them. They made it to the next area.
Dawn: That was close! We're almost at the top of Mt. Coronet by the way.
Silver: Then we'll have to hurry and climb up there.
The gang jumps into the Barrel Cannon and it fires them up to the next level, where they landed on a platform with a series of ladders. They climbed up the ladders to reach the higher levels, where they encountered some Icemon and Chikurimon. The Icemon uses Iceball Bomb on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Totodile uses Aqua Tail on the Icemon, easily taking them out. The gang avoids the Chikurimon, climbs up the top, and jumps up to the next platform with three smaller platforms, where they encountered more Icemon and Karatenmon.
Piplup: Oh come on! How many more Digimon are there?
Totodile: Just take them out and we can proceed.
The Karatenmon uses Feather Flare on the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Sneasel uses Metal Claw on the Icemon, while Honchkrow uses Faint Attack on the Karatenmon. They took out the Digimon and jump up some more series of platforms, where they encountered more Icemon and Karatenmon. Seadra uses Bubblebeam on the Icemon, while Piplup uses Whirlpool to create a giant whirlpool to attack the Karatenmon. They took out the Digimon and keep jumping up the series of platforms, where they encountered the Rhinomon and Flymon.
Pachirisu: We're almost there. First we need to take out those Digimon.
The Rhinomon uses Atomic Burst, while the Flymon fires their Brown Stingers at the gang, but they easily dodged their attacks. Buneary uses Bounce to jump really high and land back down on the Rhinomon, doing alot of damage to them. Pachirisu uses Super Fang to make her teeth glow and bite the Flymon. They took out the Digimon and jump all the way up to the top of Mt. Coronet.
Dawn: We made it!
Piplup looks up at something.
Piplup: Huh? Who's that?
The gang looks up at the peak of the mountain and saw a blue and black anthropomorphic canine Pokemon with a yellow tummy. It was a Lucario. He looks down at the gang and leaps down in front of them.
Lucario: You have made it this far, Johto Trainer.
Silver: Outta my way, Lucario! I have to get my frigate back!
Lucario: First, you'll have to defeat me to prove your worthiness.
Silver: Fine with me. Totodile, let's go!
Totodile starts glowing.
Totodile: Totodile Pokevolve to...CROCONAW!
Dawn and her Pokemon decides to sit back, as Croconaw and Lucario got in their fighting stances. Croconaw uses Water Gun, while Lucario uses Aura Sphere. Both attacks cancelled each other. Croconaw then uses Shadow Claw, while Lucario uses Metal Claw to clash with Croconaw. Croconaw then uses Aqua Tail, while Lucario uses Bone Rush to create a light blue energy bone and clash with Croconaw. Both Pokemon are fighting pretty evenly.
Croconaw: You're pretty good, Lucario.
Lucario: You too, Croconaw. I guess we'll have to use our ultimate attacks to reveal our full powers.
Croconaw uses Hydro Pump, while Lucario uses Aura Storm to fire a blue energy beam. Both attacks held on for awhile until Croconaw's Hydro Pump starts pushing through Lucario's Aura Storm and hits Lucario, doing alot of damage to him. Croconaw then uses Superpower on Lucario, knocking him out, and turning him into a trophy. Croconaw reverts back to Totodile. Silver walks up to the Lucario trophy and revives him. Lucario stood up.
Lucario: That was a great battle, Johto Trainer.
Silver: Indeed. Anyway, I need your help to defeat the Subspace Army.
Lucario: Fine with me.
Silver and Lucario then shakes hands.
Dawn: That was incredible! Now we have another member in our team.
Suddenly, the gang looks up to see the Rocket Frigate emerging from the red cloud. It has Grani strapped under it. It rams Grani into Mt. Coronet.
Silver: Quick! We must get onto the frigate!
Lucario: Right behind you!
Silver and his Pokemon went on Honchkrow and they started flying to the Rocket Frigate. Lucario leaps after them. Unfortunately, Dawn and her Pokemon fell off the peak and they started falling down the mountain.
That's it for chapter 14. Next time, Dawn and Ash's group will join Nate's group in fighting a massive Subspace Army and the mission to rescue May and Sora on the Rocket Frigate begins.
