Pokemon Universe

Episode 20: Pichu's Power Plant Panic!

Narrator: On the road to Xeon City our heroes decide to take a quick break and rest at the fields.

Trent: Come on guys! We can't just waste away here all day!

Luna: Can it Trent! We've been walking for hours!

Koda: Yeah I'm beat and besides the Pokemon look like they're resting well

(All of the pokemon are asleep and or relaxing)

Trent: But we'll never get to Xeon City at this rate!

Luna: Calm down Trent, the gym isn't going anywhere, just be patient...hey guys?

Koda & Trent: Yeah?

Luna: What's up with Pichu and Magnemite?

(Luna points at Pichu and Magnemite; they both show to have sparks coming out of them and they are both running away from the group, Koda and Trent run after them to see what's going on.)

Trent: Heeeeey! Pichuuuu!Where are you going?

Koda: Magnemite!?

Luna: Something must be up...

(Opening Sequence 1.5)

(Trent and Koda finally catch up to Pichu and Magnemite and see them near two small mice like pokemon that look similar to Pichu except red and blue. The two

pokemon are injured and sending sparks from their cheeks)

Trent: What pokemon are they?

(Trent points his Pokedex at them.)

Pokedex: Plusle: (Electric) Plusle always acts as a cheerleader for its partners.

Whenever a teammate puts out a good effort in battle, this Pokémon shorts out its body to create the crackling noises of sparks to show its joy.

Pokedex: Minun: (Electric) Minun loves to cheer on its partner in battle. It gives off sparks from its body while it is doing so.

If its partner is in trouble, this Pokémon gives off increasing amounts of sparks.

Koda: Magnemite and Pichu must have been led here by them

Trent: But how?

Luna: I get it! they are all Electric Type pokemon, Plusle and Minun used electricity as a distress both look totally injured! I wonder what happened to them?

Koda: Let's take them back with us to the other pokemon, there isn't a Pokemon Center for miles, we will have to give them some Oran Berries.

(The gang take Plusle and Minun back to the rest spot and they feed them Oran Berries to get their health up. Later Plusle and Minun wake up healed.)

Luna: Are you two ok?

Plusle: Plus!

Minun: Mi!

(Plusle and Minun quickly rush to Pichu and Magnemite and send the same sparks of electricity to them.)

Pichu: (Zap)...Pichu!

Magnimite: (Zap) Magne!

(Pichu runs to Trent and pulls at Trent's pants leg.)

Trent: Hey! Pichu, what are you doing?

(Magnemite pushes at Koda's back)

Koda: What's going on?

Luna: Your pokemon want you to follow them, I say we should go see what Pichu and Magnemite are trying to say.

Koda & Trent: Ok

(The gang follows Pichu, Magnemite, Plusle, and Minun all the way to an old Power Plant that is in the distance of the field.)

Luna: Is that an abandoned Power Plant?

Mysterious Guy: Not just any Power Plant, it is know as Power Plant 43

Luna: Woah! Where did you come from!?

Trent: Yeah, and who are you?

Andy: Sorry about that, my name is Andy, and I'm a pokemon scientist. I've been studying the activity of pokemon habitats, which led me here. I'm sure your

Pokemon are here for the same reason I'm here for.

Koda: Annnd that is?

Andy: It's my sister Andrea!

Trent, Luna, & Koda: Andrea!?

Andy: Let me start from the beginning, you see my sister and I both grew up loving pokemon science, we both dreamed of becoming great Pokemon Scientist like Professor Doku. However as years went by her views on science became a bit darker...she began doing experiments that would harm pokemon, but will claim

that they are for the benefit of mankind. I was against these experiments and we parted ways as scientists. I happened to be around the area when I noticed lots of electric pokemon coming from this power plant injured. This Power Plant is known as Power Plant 43...it's abandoned however and is home to several Electric Type Pokemon because of this, the Plant still has electricity running, and that is the reason I believe Andrea is here.

Trent: What does that have to do with Pichu and Magnemite?

Koda: And what does this Plant having power relate to the reason the pokemon are getting injured?

Andy: Andrea will continue to do experiments, no matter how twisted they may be, but to do them she needs power, large amounts of it. Power that can only be

provided-

Luna: At a Power Plant!

Andy: Precisely! However, no active Power Plant would ever provide her the resources she needs to perform her mad experiments.

Koda: So she chose to use an abandoned one.

Andy: Yes, your Pichu, and Magnemite must have gotten a distress call from these two pokemon here to help stop the attacks happening in the Power Plant.

Luna: I have a question, If you knew about this how come you aren't going in there to stop your sister?

Andy: I can't...I have no Pokemon, and even if I did, the place is filled to the brim with Zubat guarding the outside.

Luna: Then it's clear we have to get to Power Plant 43 and stop Andrea!

Koda & Trent: What!?

Luna: Come on you guys...

(Luna picks up Plusle and Minun)

Luna: These little guys asked for our help, are you two really gonna turn your backs on them?

Andy: I would love to help you guys if I can

Luna: Of coarse

Trent: Fine I'll go, because I may have pulled some pranks in my day, but this is low. Those pokemon didn't mess with anyone, that lady is crazy!

Koda: I guess I have no choice...

Andy: Thank you so much. I apologize for the trouble my sister is causing

Luna: Don't worry, we will fix this!

Pichu: Pichu!

Magnemite: Magne!

Plusle: Plus!

Minun: Mi!

(The gang makes it to the entrance of the Power Plant and before they enter tons of Zubat attack)

Andy: It's the Zubat!

Luna: I will take care of this you guys get inside! Go! Cottonee, Go! Misdreavus!

(Cottonee and Misdreavous come out of their Pokeballs ready to receive orders.)

Cottonee: Cottonee!

Misdreavus: Mis!

(The Zubat attack charging forward.)

Luna: Misdreavous use Psybeam!

Misdreavous: Miiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

(The Psybeam attack mows down the Zubats but more emerge to continue the attack.)

Luna: Cottonee, use Grass Whistle!

Cottonee: Neeeeeeeee

(The Zubat hears the soothing noise of the Grass whistle and goes to sleep. Meanwhile Andy, Koda, and Trent run into the Power Plant and see some purple sludge

looking pokemon.)

Trent: What are those?

(Trent points his Pokedex at them.)

Pokedex: Grimer: (Poison) Appears in filthy areas. It thrives by sucking up polluted sludge that is pumped out of factories.

Trent: Ughhhh they sure do stink!

Koda: Yeah...(Cogh) Magnemite, use Thundershock!

Magnemite: Miiiiiiite!

(Magnemite's Thundershock hits the Grimer; they back off for a bit but come back.)

Koda: Shoot! There are so many!

Andy: What do we do?

Koda: I got it!

(Koda takes out his camera and turns the flash on.)

Koda: Ok Magnemite you ready?

Magnemite: Magne!

Koda: Now! Flash!

Magnemite: Mite!

(Koda and Magnemite use Super Flash and blind all of the Grimer.)

(Trent and Andy run forward, Koda begins to follow them but the grimers keep coming.)

Trent: So how do you know where your sister could be?

Andy: Well since we are in the Power Plant I figure the central control room would be the ideal place for Andrea to gather power.

Trent: Ok!

Pichu: Pi!

Plusle: Plus!

(They arrive in the central control room and see a woman with frizzy hair and is in a lab coat.)

Andy: Andrea! There you are! What are you up to now?

Andrea:...Well look who it is? Little Andy I'm guessing you're here to try and stop me!? Ha!

Andy: What are you trying to do?

Andrea: Well little brother since you and your friend over there will not last long enough for it to matter I will tell you, as you can see these Electric Pokemon have so generously offered me their energy!

(The Electric Pokemon that live in the Plant are attached to cords and have electricity draining from their bodies.)

Plusle: Plu!

Minun: Mi!

Andrea: I will use this energy to power a device I have been working on that will provide us with unlimited energy!

Andy: But at the risk of hurting poor Electric Pokemon?

Andrea: Brother listen to yourself, these Pokemon are not people! It doesn't matter what we do to them we are the Alpha! They exist as a resource!

Andy: Your wrong! Pokemon live on this earth just like people! In fact they have been on Earth longer and they deserve to live alongside us and be happy!

Andrea: You just don't get it do you! Fine! I will provide the world with unlimited energy and you can sit there and watch! Not like you have much of a choice!

Andy: No! I will stop you!

(Andy runs to the Central Control Computer but Andrea throws out a Pokeball.)

Andrea: You fool! Skuntank, use Night Slash!

(A big Skunk like Pokemon comes out of the Pokeball and slashes Andy with large black claws.)

Trent: Woah! Hey you ok?

Andy: (Groan) I have to...get to the central computer and disable the machine she has that's draining the pokemon's life energy...I know how to shut it off but I gotta get close!

Trent: I'll battle her! She is getting on my nerves anyway...I've seen some bad stuff before but this is the worst! I may not be a goody two shoes but the way she treats Pokemon makes me sick!

Pichu: Pichu!

Trent: Pichu? You wanna stop her from hurting the electric pokemon do you?

Pichu: Pi!

Plusle: Plusle

Minun: Minun

(Plusle and Minun cheer Pichu and Trent on as they walk forward to take on Andrea.)

Trent: Hey! You got some nerve coming here and hurting these pokemon!

Andrea: Listen you little punk! You don't understand what I'm trying to do for the world!

Trent: The world doesn't need scum like you who will push others out the way to get what you want!

Andrea: I've heard enough of you brat! I'll wipe you out right here!

Trent: Alright Pichu go!

Pichu: Pichu!

Andrea: Are you seriously gonna battle me with that pathetic rat!?

Pichu: Piiiiiii!

Trent: Don't worry Pichu we'll show her what you're made of!

Trent VS. Andrea

(Trent points his Pokedex at Skuntank)

Pokedex: Poison/Dark: It sprays a stinky fluid from its tail. The fluid smells worse the longer it is allowed to fester.

Andrea: Kid you don't know what you got into! Suntank, use Poison Gas!

Skuntank: Skuuuuuuuuntank!

Trent: Pichu cover your breath!

Pichu: Chuuu

Andrea: Please! Skuntank, use Night Slash!

Trent: Dodge!

(Pichu with his mouth covered dodges the Night Slash by jumping over it.)

Andrea: Ha! Now Flamethrower!

Skuntank: Taaaaaaank!

(Pichu gets hit by the blast of fire that came out of Skuntank's mouth, Pichu falls and hits the ground hard.)

Trent: Pichu!

Minun: Mi!

Plusle: Plus!

(Just then Koda, Magnemite and Luna appear and see that Trent and Pichu are battling.)

Luna: So that must be Andrea

Koda: And Trent is battling her with Pichu.

Andy: Yeah she's planning to use the energy she is draining from those pokemon to power a device that will gives us unlimited power but will kill the pokemon

once they run out of energy!

Luna: Are you serious! We gotta stop her now!

Andy: I tried but she won't let us get near that machine, and I'm the only one that can reverse the effects...plus if we take too long those Pokemon could die before we get there

Koda: Well there are more of us then her let's jump her!

Andrea: Ha! Fools! Do you really think it will be that easy!?

(Grimers and Zubat appear ready to fight)

Luna: Darn it! And we battled a horde of them getting in the Plant

Koda: So it's up to Trent to beat Andrea

Luna: Come on Trent, Pichu! You two got this!

Trent: Pichu can you get back up?

Pichu:...Pi...Pichu!

(Pichu gets back up ready to fight.)

Andrea: Your Pichu has a death wish but that's fine. Skuntank, use Fury Swipes!

Skuntank: Tank Tank Tank Tank!

Trent: Pichu dodge them!

Pichu: Pi!

(Pichu dodges the fast slashes from the Fury Swipes.)

Andrea: Is that all you are gonna do is run away? Skuntank Flamethrower!

Trent: Pichu jump!

Skuntank: Taaaaaaaank!

Pichu: Pi!

(Pichu jumps and dodges the Flamethrower.)

Trent: Now we'll paralyze them! Thunder Wave!

Pichu: Chuuuuuuu!

Andrea: Counter with Poison Gas!

Skuntank: Skuuuuuuun!

(The two attacks collide and fade, but then Andrea smirks)

Andrea: You didn't think Skuntank could only use Flamethrower out of his mouth did you?

Trent: What?

Andrea: Skuntank Flamethrower!

Skuntank: Taaaaaaaaank!

Pichu: Pi!?

(Skuntank uses Flamethrower from it's behind similar to how it uses Poison Gas, Pichu can't dodge in mid air fast enough and gets hit again and falls.)

Luna & Koda: Pichu!

Trent: Pichu! Are you ok?

(Pichu lays on the ground for a while and then struggles to get up.)

Trent: Wait a minute! I can use Noctowl in this battle instead!

(Trent puts his hand near his belt but Pichu gets up fast and yells)

Pichu: Pichu Pi!

Trent: What?

Luna: Trent! Don't switch out Pokemon!

Trent: But Pichu is too weak. I don't want him to get hurt! Plus Noctowl knows Confusion which is a Psychi-

Luna: Look at Pichu!

(Pichu struggles and gets up ready to battle but it's taken serious damage.)

Luna: Pichu wants to fight all the way through for all of the Electric Pokemon in this Plant. Pichu would rather go down fighting then watch as he could do nothing!

Have faith in him!

Plusle: Plusle...Plus

Minun: Minun...Mi

Trent:...Fine...Pichu! I believe in you!

Pichu: Pi...

Andrea: I believe you are all doomed! You and your pathetically brave Pichu! I'll wipe you out here! Night Slash!

Skuntank: Skuuuuuuuuntank!

(Pichu is unable to move as the attack comes fast Pichu gets ready to get hit but then Trent runs in and covers Pichu)

Trent: Aghhhhhhhh!

Pichu: Pi!?

Luna, Koda, & Andy: Trent!

Trent:...I won't let Skuntank hurt you anymore! I can't lose you Pichu!...If it weren't for you I wouldn't have been able to start my journey...I owe you alot...you have always been there for me even before we knew each other...

(Flash Back to Trent meeting Pichu in Cherryville Forest from Episode 1)

Trent(Present): I was upset I couldn't start my journey and you gave me an apple to cheer me up...you are my first pokemon...and we made a vow that I will journey

to become the next champion! I need you for that cause without you I would have never started this journey and come this far...I won't let that end now!

(Flash Back end)

Pichu: Pi...Pichu...Pi!

(Pichu's body begins to glow white and he gets taller, his ears get slimmer but longer, his tail grows and is more zig zag and his limbs get longer.)

Koda: Wooooooah!

Luna: Pichu evolved

Andy: Yeah Pichu evolved into Pikachu!

Trent: Pikachu?

(Trent points his Pokedex at Pikachu)

Pokedex: Pikachu (Electric Type): This Pokémon has electricity-storing pouches on its cheeks. These appear to become electrically charged during the night while Pikachu sleeps. It occasionally discharges electricity when it is dozy after waking up.

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Trent: Woah awesome Pichu...I mean Pikachu and you learned some new moves!

Andrea: I don't care if your Pichu evolved a rat is still a rat Skuntank Fury Swipes!

Skuntank: Tank Tank Tank Tank Tank!

Trent: Well let's do this! Pikachu use Agility!

Pikachu: Pika Pika Pika!

(Skuntank's Fury Swipes are being easily dodged by Pikachu's increased speed from Agility.)

Luna: Wow! Pikachu is so much faster then he was as Pichu the difference is incredible!

Koda:Yeah I bet they got stronger too!

Trent: Now Pikachu, use Slam!

Pikachu: Piiiiiiika!

Andrea: I'm done playing Skuntank use Night Slash!

Skuntank: Skuuuuuun!

(The two attacks clash and the Pokemon are evenly matched; they both fly back from the impact.)

Trent: Pikachu, use Agility!

Pikachu: Pika Pika Pika!

Andrea: Skuntank: Flamethrower!

Skuntank: Taaaaaaaaaank!

Trent: Jump!

Andrea: That's what I wanted! Now turn and use Poison Gas!

Skuntank: Skuuuuuun!

(Skuntank uses Poison Gas but once the gas clears Pikachu is nowhere to be seen.)

Andrea: What?

Trent: Hey Andrea! Above you!

Andrea: What!?

Skuntank: Tank!?

Pikachu: Pika!

Luna: Woah...Pikachu was so fast he rolled away from the gas in mid air with Agility this is amazing!

Trent: Pikachu, use Slam!

Pikachu: Chuuuuuuuu Pika!

(Pikachu falls down fast and hit Skuntank with his tail hard Skuntank looks like it took alot of damage)

Skuntank: Taaaaaaaank!

Andrea: Grrrrrrrrrr! You little brat! I've had it! You are gonna wish you didn't do that! Skuntank, use Flamethrower...Combined with Night Slash!

Skuntank: Skuuuuuuuuuuuun!

Trent: We're not scared!

Pikachu: Pika!

(Skuntank's Claw gets longer turns black then gets surrounded in flame Skuntank charges it's attack to Pikachu.)

Trent: Pikachu use Thundershock and Slam give it all you got!

Pikachu: Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

(As Pikachu runs his tail begins to be coated with electricity as he charges to Skuntank)

Skuntank: Tank!

Pikachu: Ka!

(The two combined attacks clash and are even with Skuntanks having a slight advantage but Pikachu is not giving in.

Just then Plusle and Minun look at each other while watching the battle.)

Plusle: Plusle Plus?

Minun: Nun Minun!

(Plusle and Minun begin to have electricity coated around their hands and are chanting at Pikachu)

Koda: What are Plusle and Minun doing?

Andy: It seems to me they are using the move Helping Hand to give Pikachu a boost in power.

Plusle: Plusle! Plulse! Plusle!

Minun: Minun! Minun! Minun!

(The power from Plusle and Minun's Helping Hand is transferred to Pikachu and the Electricity from Pikachu's Thundershock gets bigger and more powerful Pikachu is gaining an edge against Skuntank's attack.)

Trent: Pikachu! Give it all you got!

Pikachu: Pikachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Skuntank: Taaaaaaaaank!

(Pikachu's attack overpowers Skuntank and Skuntank flies backwards and hits Andrea then faints.)

Trent: We did it!

Pikachu: Pikachu Pi!

Luna: They won!

Koda: Way to go Trent and Pikachu!

Andy: They did it...No time to celebrate, I gotta shut down this machine!

Koda: I'll call Officer Jenny!

(Andy runs to the Machine and types rapidly on the Keyboard.)

Andy: Ok just a few programs to uninstall...aaaaaaaand done!

(Andy presses a button and the electrical energy that was being drained from the Electric Type pokemon goes in reverse to restore them to full.)

Andy: Whew! Did it!

Andrea: You're a fool brother! We could have had unlimited power!

Andy: I would say no to "Unlimited power" a thousand times over if it meant sacrificing any life, human or pokemon. Even great scientists have moral codes...you should be ashamed!

Andrea: Whatever!

(Just then Officer Jenny appears and Koda explains the whole situation and Jenny places Andrea under arrest. After that the gang leaves the Power Plant and Pikachu says goodbye to Plusle and Minun, and thanks

them for their help. Plusle and Minun hug Pikachu and thank the gang for saving their home.)

Luna: We were glad to help and were glad you two and the rest of the Electric Pokemon can live in peace now.

Andy: And I will make sure they stay safe, I'm gonna stay here for a while and study the Electric pokemon in their natural habitat I thank you for everything you all have done for these pokemon thank you!

Koda: Yeah it's good to see them safe

Trent: Yeah we couldn't have done this without Pikachu!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Andy: So where are you three headed?

Koda: Xeon City

Trent: Yeah I gotta battle the Gym Leader and get my third badge!

Andy: You will meet my teacher and great Scientist Professor Doku! He's great and taught me alot. If you see him tell him I said hi

Luna: We will

Andy: Also take these as my appreciation

(Andy hands Trent, Koda and Luna some Potions)

Luna: Thanks Andy!

Andy: No problem bye you guys and take care!

Trent, Koda, & Luna: You too!

Luna: I'm proud of you Trent, you have grown much closer to your pokemon and Pichu evolved into Pikachu because of it.

Koda: Yeah you guys are becoming a great team!

Trent: Yeah...Thank you Pikachu!

Pikachu: Pika!

(The two high five and run down the road )

Narrator: And so thanks to the bond that Trent and Pichu share Pichu was able to evolve into Pikachu, Our heroes helped save the Power Plant from the clutches of Andrea and are continuing their journey

to Xeon City, what new adventures await them and will those adventures bring them that much closer together?...find out Next Time!
