Pokemon Adventure 2
Mew-M Unleashed
Chapter 4: Castaways
On the shore of an unknown island, the iceberg came to a stop on the beach. The team got off and looked around. They spotted rail tracks and Doduos running around.
"Hey, we said we were gonna free this Sandshrew!" growled Chimchar at his team-mates. They walked over to their raft and started chipping away at the ice.
"This calls for some fire attacks." said Tepig, as he and Chimchar used fire powers to melt the ice. The Sandshrew sprawled on the ground, still as a board, not doing anything. The team thought the cold from Ice Mountain had killed him.
"I guess he's dead." Mudkip said. Just then, it got up, rubbing its head and dropping his sword.
"Thank you, fellow pokemon; I've been trapped in that ice for five years!" the Sandshrew said, as a picked up his sword and posed with it. "My name is Sandshrew, master knight of the earth."
"Nice to meet you." said Tepig.
"Hi there, mate!" said Totodile, forgetting his manners and talking when Mudkip was about to.
"Err, hi." said Mudkip. "Don't mind Totodile, we met him unexpectedly on our last voyage." Treecko didn't say a word. He was too busy identifying where he and his friends were.
"Help!" came a screeching voice. Treecko heard this and leapt into the bushes. He spotted a Puruntank (Purugly/Skuntank) about to attack a helpless Tirtouga.
"Oh, no you don't…" hissed Treecko, jumping into the air and kick the hybrid pokemon in the back of the head. It lashed out at him with its repulsive tail, but Treecko dodged it and finished the beast off with solar-beam. The creature exploded in a ball of purple light. He picked up the Tirtouga and carried her to the beach with the rest his friends.
"You saved me…" said Tirtouga.
"Enough of that." said Treecko. "What happened?"
"Well, ever since Mew-M took over Pokemon Island (From Pokemon Snap), we've all had to go into hiding…" Tirtouga replied.
"Mew-M?" Mudkip asked.
"Yes, a strange creature, nothing like any other pokemon. It seems to be obsessed with taking over the world. He's also forced millions of pokemon on the island to find the so called 'Missingstones'…" Tirtouga continued.
"That must explain that Cytolon creature that murdered Pichu." Chimchar replied. "This 'Mew-M' must have created him to steal them all for himself."
"Hold on, though…" Treecko responded. "Back at Ice Mountain, where I fought Snipe, who said he was on Mew-M's side, Cytolon destroyed the whole peak and Snipe and his comrades died in the process."
"So?" asked Chimchar.
"I don't think that thing is on anybody's side. He killed members from ours and the enemy team." Treecko replied.
"He has a point." said Mudkip.
"Well, you might wanna come back to our hideout in the tunnel; it's safe there…" Tirtouga said, but she couldn't finish, Cytolon slammed the ground with his two huge arms with green and pink bones inside them, sending dust all over the place. He then turned his attention to the team, particularly the Missingstone that Treecko had kept safe. He turned himself into a giant tidal wave and captured all of the team, except Sandshrew, who avoided the attack.
"Let go of my new friends, you stupid beast!" he roared, jumping into the air, rolling into a ball and holding his sword above his head, becoming a spinning razor blade. He slashed off one of Cytolon's head tentacles and it fell to the ground. Sandshrew landed but he had failed. The tentacle he slashed off reattached itself back to his head. Form inside Cytolon, the five pokemon turned into five balls of yellow light. Each one began to form the shape of a different pokemon.
"They're evolving!" Tirtouga shouted over Cytolon's din. Chimchar's ball burst open to reveal him as Monferno, who broke free from the creature's prison.
"Now let's free the rest of them!" Monferno roared performing vicious combos on Cytolon's weakening body, knocking out the other balls of light. Another ball of light appeared inside Cytolon, but this one was red. Monferno pummelled Cytolon to the head and it fell out of him. The red ball burst open to reveal a familiar face.
"Pikachu?" Monferno looked in amazement.
"Oh, yes, it feels so good to get outta there!" Pikachu said, using thunderbolt on Cytolon, who seeped away into the sand. The other balls burst out next.
"Grovyle!"
"Marshstomp!"
"Croconaw!"
"Pignite!"
"Guys, you've evolved!" Sandshrew said. "And you beat Cytolon!"
"Phew…" Tirtouga said. "He was a nasty monster."
"Good to feel bigger than a pokemon egg, that's for sure." Grovyle said. "Wait, Pikachu's alive?" he wondered.
"Yup." said Pikachu. "I just got trapped in there and I managed to get out when you lot evolved." he added. However, the sand the Cytolon disappeared into had gone dark brown, and appeared to be rising up and forming a shape.
"Uh, I don't think that guy's out of the building yet." said Pignite. They all watched as Cytolon emerged in a cocoon of sand. He now had a tail with blue bones inside that had a spiky ball on the end. He was much bigger and his face resembled that of a crocodile. He roared fiercely and swung his tail at the team. Sandshrew tried to block it with his sword but he got smacked aside, and hit his head on a tree.
"Oi, you lot, come with us!" shouted an Electrike with a Scraggy riding on its back, running towards them from the distance.
"Yeah, follow us!" said Scraggy.
"You don't have to have to tell us twice!" Marshstomp yelled as they followed the two pokemon into a small cave next to the entrance to the tunnel. Cytolon roared again and thundered his way through the bushes. Meanwhile, the team and their new friends stopped at a stone door. In a small crack in the stone, two eyes peered in from the other side. It frowned in distrust.
"Who are you? State your business." said the figure from the other side.
"Electrike and Scraggy." Electrike said. "We've found newcomers…"
"Very well, you may enter…" the voice said. Everyone stood back as the stone was rolled aside.
"What is this place?" Croconaw wondered, as they went inside the small cave.
"One of the many bases belonging to the Pokemon Island Underground Resistance Personnel, or PIURP for short." Electrike explained. "Our camp leader will tell you everything. They all saw that a Graveler pushed the stone back where it was. The mysterious pokemon was a Yamask.
"We were so worried about you, Tirtouga." Yamask said, frowning at Tirtouga. "Never leave the hideout without a fellow pokemon nearby."
"I heard a blazing fire and cracking noises." Tirtouga replied.
"You can blame us for that…" said Monferno, feeling embarrassed. "Sorry."
"We were getting Sandshrew out of our raft; he was frozen in it." Croconaw said.
"I see." Yamask replied.
"Say, why are you so touchy about Tirtouga leaving the hideout?" asked Pikachu.
"Because our island is in jeopardy." Yamask answered. "The evil Mew-M has invaded our homes and forced us to hide in various nooks and crannies throughout Pokemon Island. Those of us who didn't manage to escape his forces were enslaved and forced to find the Missingstones. We stay in touch with hideouts in the other parts of our island home. This hideout is called Beach Camp."
"Well, we should be able to fight this Mew-M guy, and take out Cytolon as well." said Monferno, swinging his fists around.
"Who is Cytolon?" Yamask asked.
"Cytolon is this strange liquid monster that came out of nowhere." said Marshstomp. "Not only is he after the Missingstones, but he will kill other pokemon just to get them. He's already got three, which makes him very powerful."
"Just perfect, we now have TWO evil villains on this island!" Yamask groaned, face-palming his mask. Just then, a Natu flew in from a window.
"I have a message from Tunnel Glade." she said while landing on a little perch with "Neitei" carved on it. She pulled out a piece of paper from a little bag on her back and began to read.
"Dear Beach Camp, we have reports of Mew-M's forces taking over the old power stations in our area. If they succeed, we'll have no electricity for our hideout! Please send some of your campmates to help fight them off tomorrow, as they will be seizing the main generators then. Best Regards, Leader Gabite of Tunnel Glade."
"Who's she?" asked Croconaw. "What's she talking about?"
"She is the Pokemon Island Underground Resistance Messenger, or PIURM for short. Her job is to fly all across the island delivering messages to each hideout." Yamask replied. "She's fit as a fiddle for this job because she is a very small bird pokemon, so she isn't noticed by Mew-M's troops, while flying around all by herself."
"That's right." said Natu. "So, who're you gonna send to help Tunnel Glade take back the power stations?"
"Say, do you guys fancy a challenge?" Yamask said to the team.
"Of course we'll help you lot! We'll never let Mew-M take over this island; we already defeated MissingDemon and his gang of Missingnos!" Monferno said. Every other pokemon in the cave except the members of Monferno's team gasped in amazement.
"YOU took on the Missingnos?" Yamask said in horror.
"What? Don't have a heart attack about it!" said Pignite. The whole cave was instantly filled with cheer. The pokemon were celebrating over one simple fact that saved their world from total annihilation.
"Pokemon Island will soon be free!" pokemon chanted and sang. "Mew-M won't have a chance. Natu flew outside, got a leaf and carved the word "YAY" into it. She went back in and flew around in the air with it, before throwing it out of her talons and landed beside Yamask.
"Natu, take this message to Tunnel Glade." Yamask said to Natu, writing it on a piece of paper. "Dear Tunnel Glade, we have selected some pokemon from beyond our island for the mission. They have said that they defeated the Missingnos and we are celebrating about it. They should clear the enemy out in no time at all. Best Regards, Leader Yamask of Beach Camp." He rolled up the message and gave it to Natu. "Be sure to pass this information to all of the other camps on the island." Yamask added.
"Consider it done!" Natu said as she flew into the Tunnel.
After the party, everyone got some well-deserved rest. Some slept on bunks, some slept on perches, but Grovyle decided to sleep outside on a hammock the PIURP made when the war began. This was for someone to keep an eye on the perimeter outside the hideout. Grovyle was just sleeping there. He was dreaming about the time he met Most, the white Lucario, and how he witnessed his death.
"Take this, you evil spirits!" Most said in his mind. He missed and Treecko watched in horror, as the Missingnos impaled Most in the chest and laughed at his dying body.
"You murderous beasts!" Treecko roared, jump kicking one of the purple ghosts. It transformed into black shadowy dimension with Treecko inside. He saw Most fading away to nothingness, and millions of evil faces laughing at him. "Where am I?"
"You're going straight to Hell!" one Missingno said as he flew beside him and pointed down to a fiery gate, decorated with spikes and skulls.
"It was all your fault!" the evil faces chanted, as black, spiky chains rose from the opened gate and wrapped around Treecko. They started to drag him into the gate of fire, where he would meet certain doom.
"It was NOT my fault!" yelled Treecko. "It was you awful creatures!"
"You left him and yourself open to attack!" the evil faces chanted.
"You're… You're right!" Treecko said fearfully. "No, no, no! It was you! I'll never believe you lot, I got rid of you, and you are all just nightmares now!"
"Or so you think!" MissingDemon said, rising from the gate, yanking the chains holding Treecko downwards. "Your eternal fate awaits you! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!" Treecko sank into the fires expelling from the gate.
"NOOOOOOO!" he howled, as the rest of his body burnt away to ashes.
Grovyle suddenly woke up, but not very alert; he was having hallucinations. He thought he could Most's spirit in front of him. His legs were replaced with a ghostly tail, his eyes were red, and he had the colours of a Missingno.
"Hello, my feeble victim." the evil ghost said. "I am the being who preys on your fears of Most's death!"
"Die, fool!" Grovyle roared, jump kicking the ghost, but it was a hallucination and he went right through it. Just then, Snipe appeared and delivered an uppercut to his face! Grovyle fell to the ground, feeling very weak.
"I don't know why you just jump-kicked the air like a right numpty, but now I have you right where I want you, helpless!" Snipe said nastily. He had now evolved into a Grovyle himself, except he was black and his leaves were dark green. "Now let me show my new trick…" Grovyle watched as Snipe changed his colours to green; he now looked exactly like him!
"How could you…" Grovyle said. "You died on Ice Mountain…"
"Ah, you see, my previous clone died in the mountain's destruction, but Master Mew-M has hundreds of clones of me on board his ship, if one Snipe dies, another is sent to replace them, with all the experience of the last one before he died."
"Mew-M… will… never… take…over…this…island!" Grovyle faintly said, before he passed out, with all his energy lost.
"Don't worry, Grovyle, I won't hurt your friends." Snipe snickered. "Troops, lock this miscreant in our camp at the Tunnel. I have to meet his friends outside the entrance to it." He watched as five Goldaunts (Golbat/Crawdaunt) grab Grovyle by the scruff of his neck and put him a metal bird cage, big enough for him to fit inside. They took the cage into the Tunnel and back to their camp. Snipe followed them and jumped onto a ledge near the entrance and fell asleep. His devious plan was in action…
