Chapter 6: The Moon Stone
It was a peaceful day on the way to Ash's next Gym Battle…
"So hungry… so tired…" said Luffy.
The two girls sighed… "Luffy can you please stop complaining about your stomach…" said Nami.
"And the fact that you're tired…" said Misty.
"But I'm hungry and tired…" said Luffy.
Misty and Nami looked at each and nodded.
A few minutes later…
"Now are you going to complain…" said Misty holding a giant mallet.
"No Misty…" said a very bruised up Luffy.
Nami sighed as she put away her staff.
"Hey look there's Mount Moon!" said Ash changing the subject quickly.
"They say a huge meteorite crashed there years ago…" said Brock.
"Really…" said Luffy.
"Luffy… what do you think a meteorite is?" asked Nami.
"I don't know but I'm sure it has to do with meat…" said Luffy.
Everyone anime fell…
"Meteorite is a rock from space that came down to earth… the one that crashed there is called the moon stone." said Brock.
"Oh…" said Luffy who was no longer interested.
The group of pirates and Pokemon Trainers continued their journey when a scream rang out.
"That doesn't' sound good…" said Ash.
The group ran to where the scream came from and saw a man being attacked by blue eye-less bats.
"What are those?" asked Ash who took out his handy Pokedex.
"Zubat the bat Pokemon. Use ultrasonic waves to detect opponents" said Ash's Pokedex.
"Aren't you two going to do something?" asked Misty.
"You talking to us?" asked Luffy and Ash.
"Just use Pikachus…" said Misty with a sigh.
"Okay…" said Luffy.
"Fine…" said Ash.
"Pikachu! Use your Thunder Shock!" said both at the same time.
The two Pikachus used the attack and all but one of the Zubat flew away… Brock caught the one that didn't escape while no one was looking… the man was in a lab coat.
"Hey are you okay?" asked Luffy.
"Thank you!" said the man he hugged both Luffy and Ash extremely tightly unfortunately both were holding their Pikachus at the time, the man squeezed both mice like Pokemon socking Ash and the man… Luffy was unaffected like usual.
"That had to hurt…" said Zoro looking at the fried Ash and Man…
When the man was some how better he began to do an overdramatic speech how he was grateful that he was ... everyone pretty much tuned him out as much they can.
"… did I say how grateful I am?" asked the ma holding Luffy and Ash's hands.
"Uh… yeah…" said Ash with a sweat drop.
"Who are you?" asked Luffy.
Unfortunately he started another overdramatic rhyming speech… the point is his name is Seymour and he's a scientist…
Misty went over to Luffy and whispered something to him…
"Please do…" said Misty but before she could finish the sentence that was "Please don't ask any more questions…" Luffy asked "Why did those bat thingies attack you…"
Everyone but Seymour stared at him with a sweat drop.
"Well I'll show you!" said Seymour.
He showed them that inside the cave someone had strung up lights.
"As you can see, its make all the Pokemon act strangely, the Paras are planting their mushrooms everywhere and those lights are drying out the Sandshrew…" said Seymour.
"So why do you think someone would string up lights?" asked Luffy.
Seymour once again began an overdramatic speech how he theorizes that their after the moon stone which has been proven to power up some Pokemon… he also told him his theory that all Pokemon came to earth on the moon stone which was a space ship… he received questionable looks form the group.
"Do people think that?" whispered Zoro.
"I have never met a person who ever thought before…" whispered Misty.
Seymour grabbed Luffy and Ash's hands again.
"I'm sure you two will be able to stop these hooligans from causing trouble…" said Seymour.
"Okay…" said Ash.
"Of course…" said Luffy giving his trademark smile.
The other 4 sighed.
"Looks like Luffy guaranteed we're going to help…" said Nami.
A fluffy pink Pokemon came hopping past them carrying a rock.
"Cute!" said Misty.
Nami took out her Pokedex.
"Clefairy the Fairy Pokemon. It's rare and only found in certain areas…" said Nami's Pokedex.
"That looks interesting…" said Ash getting his Pokeball ready.
"No don't…" said Seymour grabbing his arm, "That Clefairy is doing something important, look how it has that moon stone, let it complete it's task …"
"Fine…" said Ash knowing he was right.
The Clefairy continued on its way when it turned the corner there was a scream. They ran towards it screamed and found… a Meowth. The Pikachu went to comfort it. However two figures appeared from behind Meowth.
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
"To protect the world form deviation"
"To unite all peoples within our nation"
"You denounce the evils of Truth and Love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket! Blasting off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth! That's right!"
"You again?" said Ash.
"That's right but this time we're after the moon stone!" said Jessie.
"We plan to use it to power up our Pokemon!" said Meowth.
"Let's use our whole arsenal this time!" said Jessie.
"Right, Go Koffing! Paras!" said James.
"Go Ekans! Sandshrew!" said Jessie.
It was indeed true, Jessie now had a Sandshrew and James had a Paras.
"You steal those too?" asked Misty.
"No of course not…" said James.
(Flashback)
They were digging in the tunnel when Jessie accidentally hit a Sandshrew with a pickaxe... the Sandshrew began to attack her… she screamed in pain while James and Meowth did nothing she finally a Pokeball and caught it.
"You have the pick axe…" said Jessie.
"Okay…" said James…
(Switch to later…)
James was digging when one of those Paras who was planting its Mushrooms started planting it on him!
"Hey stop it! Get this crazy thing of me!" yelled James.
After trying to get the mushroom of him, James managed to gabbed a Pokeball catch it just Paras got it's mushrooms back…
"That was weird…" said Jessie.
(End of flashbacks)
"If that keeps happening you'll have a full team…" said Brock with a sweatdroped… even though had no idea their crooks… by their world's standards that is (it didn't matter that Nami was considered a crook by the other world's standards) …
"Well anyways we're no letting that pinky get away!" said Jessie.
"Hey Nami, Misty, can you take care of the Clefairy and Seymour…" said Ash.
"Why us?" asked Nami.
Misty knew why… Ash thought her only Pokemon was Goldeen… and Nami became quick friends with Misty so it was a given, she told that to Nami who agreed.
"I've been wanting to try out Pokemon Battles…" said Zoro reading Scyther's Pokeball.
"Me too…" grinned Luffy who only had Pikachu.
"Go Scyther!" said Zoro.
"Go Butterfree!" said Ash.
"Go Zubat!" said Brock.
Ash, Luffy and Zoro were surprised he had a Zubat.
"You had a Zubat?" asked Ash.
"I actually just caught it you zapped them…" said Brock sheepishly.
"This is the 2nd time someone caught something behind my back…" sighed Ash.
"Koffing use Smog!"
The gas ball sent out toxic gasses to the heroes.
"Scyther use Swords Dance!" said Zoro.
Scyther began to spin around very fast.
"Whoa Zoro that's cool! How did you figure that out?" asked Ash who was impressed.
"Just something I picked up…" said Zoro.
Scyther's spinning caused Koffing's attack to head towards Jessie and James. Nami, Misty, Seymour and Clefairy took this chance to run. However they didn't noticed Meowth fallowing them.
In the battle Ekans bit Butterfree, Paras scratched Scyther, so did Sandshrew to Luffy's Pikachu while Koffing tackled Zubat. But all 4 Pokemon shoot it off.
"Zubat use Supersonic!" said Brock.
Team Rocket's 4 Pokemon began to attack in melee.
"Hey stop it!" yelled Jessie.
"Butterfree! Use Whirlwind!" said Ash.
Butterfree sent Jessie, James and their Pokemon flying away.
"Hey where was the cat guy…" said Luffy noticing Meowth wasn't with them.
"Uh-oh…" said Ash.
Meanwhile Clefairy left the cave though a small hole. Misty, Nami and Seymour tired to fallow it.
"Come back we're only trying to help!" said Misty.
They saw Clefairy clamed a rocking hill and go over a natural bridge, Just when Nami, Misty and Seymour were climbing it Clefairy fell off, landing on Misty who was in front of Nami and Seymour, she crashed into Nami, somehow a lone empty Pokeball fall out of her backpack, both fell on to Seymour and landing in the river below.
"Is everyone all right?" asked Misty.
"I'm fine… but I think I dropped a Pokeball… I'll get it later…" said Nami.
"I'm fine too…" said Seymour.
Meowth showed up… "Now you better be handing me that Moon Stone or else!" said Meowth.
"Now way!" said Misty, she pulled out a Pokeball and called out the Pokemon inside… out came not Goldeen but a Staryu, a starfish like Pokemon and it's a Water Pokemon that can go on land…
"Staryu use Swift!" said Misty.
Gold stars came form Staryu and hit Meowth head on.
"Ow! Ow! OW!" said Meowth.
"No use Water!" said Misty.
A stream of water was shot from the top of Staryu and hit Meowth square in the mouth… Meowth began taking on water like balloon and when he was about to burst all the water shot thought his mouth and went flying away. Misty returned Staryu as Clefairy gave a sigh of relief.
"Wow Misty… your pretty good…" said Nami.
"I am… just don't tell Ash I'm this good…" said Misty with a wink.
All was well until the Pokeball Nami dropped fell off the hill, hit Clefairy and accidentally caught Clefairy. Everyone was surprised and sweatdroped… Nami's mouth was wide open when this happened… that when the guys showed up.
"What happened?" asked Ash looking at their faces.
"I accidentally caught Clefairy…" said Nami with a sweat drop.
Ash looked like he was about to cry.
"Why is everyone catching things behind my back…" he cried.
"It was an accident!" yelled Nami.
Later at sunset Clefairy was out of its Pokeball, they decided to wait to see if it wanted to travel after finishing its task before releasing it… Brock was feeding everyone including the Scyther, Butterfree and Zubat. Brock was feeding Zubat something.
"What's that you're feeding it?" asked Luffy.
"Oh just Pokemon food I made… it's my own recipe that I have been working on for years…" said Brock.
"Can I try?" asked Seymour.
"Sure." said Brock handing it to him.
Seymour ate a piece, "It tastes good…" said Seymour.
"Let me try…" said Ash.
He tried one and he tried not to barf…
"Can I try it?" asked Luffy next.
Brock sweatdroped… he wouldn't have expected Luffy to try it after ash did almost puked. Luffy ate it.
"It's very good…" said Luffy.
"There's the proof… Luffy will eat anything…" said Ash.
"I told you…" said Zoro with a sweat drop.
Scyther sighed at this.
The Pikachus and Clefairy were talking when both Pikachus yelled and motioned the humans to fallow them. Pikachus and Clefairy led them on a long chase to another cave. Inside the cave was the Moon Stone.
"Whoa…" said Ash.
"That's a rock…" said Luffy.
"We told already you, Luffy… it's not meat…" said Nami.
Clefairy put the piece of the Moon Stone with the large piece… all of them began to glow. Then many Clefairy appeared and began to dance around it.
"It's so cute…" said Misty.
"Dozens of cute fluffy pink things... very creepy…" muttered Zoro.
Everyone looked at him with a sweat drop.
The Pikachus were talking to Clefairy about something.
"What is it Pikachu?" asked Luffy.
"It has something to with the Clefairy…" said Ash somehow understanding what his Pikachu was saying "They gather the moon stone and... do the Macarena!" said Ash.
Pikachu anime fell when Ash said the last thing.
"The Macarena? What's that?" asked Luffy.
"It's a dance craze from 10 years ago…" said Seymour with a hint of regret in his voice.
"I saw it on I love the 90's" said Ash.
Ash's Pikachu did the Charades sign for "Sounds like" and Luffy's Pikachu lifted the Clefairy Nami accidentally caught to show what they.
"Lift…" said Ash guessing.
"Pick up…" said Luffy guessing.
"Raise?" asked Nami.
Both Pikachus nodded.
"Sounds like raise?" asked Ash.
"Raisins?" asked Luffy.
"The Clefairy like raisins?" asked Ash.
The Pikachus looked at each other, nodded and slapped both their trainers for stupidly.
"Ow…" said Ash.
"Why did they slap us?" asked Luffy.
Misty sighed, the Pikachus were more bold than she was.
Ash's Pikachu managed to grabbed a stand of hair when it slapped Ash. Pikachu showed them the strand of hair.
"Sounds like hair?" asked Nami.
"Prayer?" asked Brock.
Ash's Pikachu held up a sign with a circle on it while Luffy's a bell.
"So they pray to the Moon Stone?" asked Ash.
His Pikachu rang the bell while Luffy's Pikachu rang the bell some more.
"Where did Pikachu get that bell…" said Luffy.
"I have no idea…" said Misty.
Seymour began to do one his overdramatic rhyming speeches again, the gist was that he believed the humans were going to space on the Moon Stone with Pokemon… however who should arrive Team Rocket.
"You are those Trouble Makers! Leave the Moon Stone alone!" yelled Seymour who ran towards them… however Meowth tripped him and he landed face first, his glasses fell.
"That was dirty!" said Ash.
"You'll no dealing with saints here…" said Jessie, "Go Sandshrew! Ekans!"
"Koffing!" said James.
"Go Onix!" said Brock.
Onix came out in full force and both Pikachus went on top of it.
"Go underground!" said Jessie to both her Pokemon.
Both dove underground.
"Koffing use Smog!" said James.
Koffing once again used on its attacks, as everyone couldn't see Team Rocket took the Moon Stone and got away. Everyone discovered it when Ash called out Pidgeotto which blew the attack away.
"They took it!" yelled Luffy.
"Onix fallow them underground!" said Brock.
The giant snake like Pokemon dove underground as the trainers and ran out of the cave. However Seymour was still looking for his glasses.
Meanwhile Team Rocket was on a sled with most of their Pokemon still out and the Moon Stone with them when Onix surfaced and crashed.
"Your not getting away!" yelled Ash.
"Time for you punishment Gum Gum Pistol!" yelled Luffy.
He used a rubber punch to sock James in the face.
"WHAT IS WORNG WITH YOU! THAT'S THE 2nd TIME YOU PUNCHED ME!" yelled James.
"Just then the Clefairy came out the hole Onix made to get there. Fallowed by Seymour.
The cute fluffy pink Pokemon began to move their fingers back and forth.
"What are they doing?" asked Zoro.
"It's an attack called the Metronome, I have no idea what it does…" said Seymour.
After about a minute the Clefairy stopped, then began to glow and then… BOOM! There was a huge explosion…
"Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
However, there was a down side… it blew up the Moon Stone as well… small fragments began to rain down hitting a few Clefairy… when it hit them they evolved…
Nami took out her Pokedex "Clefable, the fairy Pokemon. It will run and hide them moment it sees people…" said the Pokedex.
Somehow the Clefable were able to gather all the left over shards and out them back to together. The Clefairy joined by their evolved forms as well began to dance around it.
"Even creepier…" mutter Zoro.
Everyone looked at him while sweat dropping, "If you have to say something like that… keep it to yourself…" said Nami.
She felt something tug her skirt, she looked down and saw the Clefairy she accidentally caught.
"I think Clefairy wants to stay with you…" said Seymour.
"Clefairy!" said Clefairy nodding (Translation: That's right!)
"Lucky…" muttered Ash.
Nami gave a small smile, and returned to the Pokeball that she accidentally caught it in…
The left Mount Moon, Seymour chose to stay at the mountain with the Clefairy and Clefable to study them, not too long after saying goodbye they came upon a fork in the road, there will two signs, one of the pointing to where they were headed… Cerulean City… when Misty saw it she flinched… Nami was the only one who noticed it.
"It looks like someone wrote something here…" said Luffy pointing to the corner.
"sometime kids scribble stuff there…" said Ash.
"Hey it mentions you name…" said Luffy.
Ash looked at it… it said "Gary was here! Ash is a Loser!"
Ash got a extremely angry… that was really an understatement… she ran to the city fast…. Extremely fast…
"Okaay…" said Zoro.
"What a moron…" said Misty.
"Pika…" sighed his Pikachu.
Next Time: There mystery to Misty... why does she know a lot about Gym Leaders... how came she's an extremely good trainer but hides it from Ash... why doesn't she want to go to Cerulean City? Does it have to with the Gym who's leaders are a bunch of ditzy teenage girls who care more about swimming than Pokemon battling? All this and more next time...
A/N: Okay you haven noticed that Jessie and James caught some more Pokemon in this chapter, I wanted to even things out for them as there are more trainers in the form of Luffy, Nami and Zoro.
Also here are some Pokemon ideas that I've been thinking about for the misplaced Pirates...
Luffy: Oddish (I don't know why, I just thought might be good for him), Seel (really needs a Water Type for obvious reasons) andSnorlax (suggestion from Electronic Sonic... I kind of like itbut this one that in the maybe pile...) that's it for Luffy...
Zoro: Farfetch'd (Kenshinhdykstal777's idea, I like it...) Krabby (Maybe pile...) and Gyarados (another one from Electronic Sonic, I like it, it fits with his two other Pokemon... if your ownderi9ng what I mean... I mean Pokemon that's Misty is afraid of...) that's for Zoro.
Nami: Nidoran (F) (Once again Electric Sonic, it's a fairly good idea)... I can't think of anymore for Nami.
If anyone else has any suggestions that would be great... perhaps one 2nd generation for someone (might be an interesting idea), no 3rd generation pleaseand absolutely no 4th generation... only a few of them even have English names... and I don't even know most of their attacks...
