Pokemon Adventure 2
Mew-M Unleashed
Chapter 5: Snipe's Revenge
Back in Pokeville, things were normal. Everyone was just doing their normal jobs, while some did the daily tasks of the team in their absence, on Dewott's orders, who had strangely evolved at the exact same time as the team when they were fighting Cytolon. Gardevoir and Larvesta stayed in their house. Gardevoir was thinking about Grovyle, she hadn't heard from him since he left. She had only just taught Larvesta to talk.
"Life is so quiet without him around." she sighed. "It's just been boring since he left."
"Well, it's not like he isn't coming back…" Larvesta chirped.
"I know, but it's just been a bit lonely around here." Gardevoir replied. "You know, let's just have a trip. It'll help me take my mind off it." The two of them left the house and headed towards the exit of the village, without anyone noticing. They decided to take a visit to Ice Mountain via another of the carts made from the Wailmarine's parts.
"Let's go!" chirped Larvesta, as the car dashed across the road at full speed. By the time they got to Ice Mountain, they were in for a surprise.
"Oh my Arceus…" Gardevoir said quietly is disbelief. "Ice Mountain is nothing but rubble and slush!"
"Aack! I hope Treecko and the others are okay!" Larvesta said in his chirpy voice. "They were sent here to get some pretty rock, right?"
"Yes, they were, but something must have gone wrong…" Gardevoir replied, staring at the ground. But, from the destroyed mountain, a strange green light mysteriously appeared. It flew to where Gardevoir and Larvesta were. It circled around them too fast for them to see directly…
"Hey, What's that?" Gardevoir said, as she and Larvesta were teleported into the past.
The two pokemon found themselves in front of a pyramid in the middle of a jungle. Wild Aerodactyls flew above them alongside other Aerodactyls which had Machokes riding on them. Around the mysterious pyramid, were many different pokemon, some on foot, and some riding on Nidorinos with poison-proofed saddles. Most of the pokemon had red, blue, yellow, green, black and white war paint on them and wore bizarre jewellery, made from gold, rubies, silver, emeralds, sapphires, diamonds and pearls.
"Where the heck are we?" Gardevoir said in confusion. "We were in front of a decimated mountain, now we're in a tropical jungle?" She paused for a second and saw a Jigglypuff and an Alakazam having a conversation near the entrance to the pyramid. Gardevoir levitated herself and Larvesta to some bushes, to see what was happening.
"Please, I beg you Alakazam, we must stop the election ritual for tribe leader!" the Jigglypuff said. "If you force everyone to watch you fight Gengar, no-one will be watching the Mystic Stones in case of theft from the Men."
"Don't be so foolish, Jigglypuff." the Alakazam said back to her. "This ritual has been around for thousands of years, and no-one can steal the Mystic Stones from us because we have our special Guardians to protect them."
"Huh? Mystic Stones?" Gardevoir wondered as she scratched her head.
"They will not stop until they get the stones back to our temple. The Men will not survive as long as we believe in the gods." Alakazam continued. "Jigglypuff, you may be a high member of our tribal community, but your soft and peaceful nature is irritating, peace cannot solve problems with the Men…" Just then, the green light appeared around Gardevoir and Larvesta, they were going to be sent back to the present.
"Oh Arceus, not this again!" Larvesta said, as the light enveloped them both.
They soon found themselves inside a dark tunnel, in a small camp with hybrid pokemon walking around.
"Get into one of the tents!" Gardevoir whispered as they both hid inside a tent. "I don't know where we are, but we'd better stay low until we can find a way back to the village."
Meanwhile, near the entrance to the tunnel, Monferno and his group started their trek to the enemy camp to save the power supply for Tunnel Glade's base. Monferno had been given a walkie-talkie to communicate with Yamask back at Beach Camp.
"Okay, Yamask, let's go over the plan one more time…" Monferno said into the machine. "Just in case anyone isn't sure…"
"Right, you and your friends must find the location of Mew-M's enemy camp. Once there, destroy it and take out any of those hybrid pokemon." Yamask replied through the device. Croconaw and Marshstomp gazed at the tunnels around them.
"Roger that. We'll have Mew-M's scum cleaned out in no time." said Monferno, turning off the walkie-talkie. His group proceeded to walk through the tunnel to find the camp.
"And maybe we'll find Grovyle while we're at it!" Pignite interrupted.
"He must have gone on ahead while we were asleep, knowing how headstrong and stupid that guy is…" Monferno said arrogantly.
"Monferno, enough with shunning Grovyle like that, if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have beaten MissingDemon." Pikachu said, trying to stick up for Grovyle.
"He was just one guy, Pikachu." Monferno said back to him. "If it wasn't for ME, we wouldn't have gone on adventures like this in the first place!"
"I suppose you're right, but please stop insulting Grovyle, you don't know where he is or what's happened to him." Pikachu replied.
A while later, just a few yards away from the camp, a mysterious figure appeared and ran towards the rescue team. It looked like Grovyle, but was it really him? Monferno, of course, came up with a brave plan of action.
"Guys, get ready to fight this guy, unless it's Grovyle, then just scowl at him for running off." he said, in his egotistical voice. From the shadows, the figure stopped right in front of them. It had a green body, with a red belly, and had leaves on it.
"Grovyle, is that you?" asked Croconaw.
"Yes, sorry to pop off like that…" said Snipe, in disguise as Grovyle.
"Oh, I thought you were an enemy." said Monferno, before crossing his arms. "Why did you run off?" Snipe watched as the other pokemon crossed their arms too, sternly waiting for an answer to his disappearance.
"Uh, um, I needed to go to the loo for a bit, yeah, and then, uh, I got captured by that, um, black Treecko that's now a Grovyle, and I, err, escaped to tell you where the power generators were." Snipe said, constantly stuttering.
"Hmm, when did you start stuttering like that?" Pignite asked.
"Oh, uh, just a little shook up, yeah." Snipe said quickly.
"Yeah, yeah, we get it." Monferno rudely interrupted. "We need to wipe out that enemy camp and take back the generators. Tunnel Glade needs that power supply!" His echo boomed into the enemy camp's grounds. Hybrid pokemon sensed the noise and rushed out to investigate.
"Take cover, guys!" Marshstomp yelled, as they all hid behind a rock. They watched as the mutants looked around, and didn't see anything. Just then, in a flash, Snipe slashed into the chest of a Ninjydon. (Ninjask/Rhydon) It fell to the ground as it died, along with several other mutants, also attacked by Snipe. He landed just outside the gates of the camp, with his leaves blowing in the cave breeze.
"Wow, Grovyle, when did you learn to do that? What's that move called?" Pikachu said inquisitively, letting off sparks with curiosity.
"Uh, I just learned it a while ago from some guy near our village, it's called, err, the Shadow Jump Kick Attack." Snipe replied, trying to keep his cool when trying to act like Grovyle. Monferno turned his back on Snipe, he was jealous of how his rival just took out a squad of mutant pokemon with little effort.
"It's probably just some cheap trick…" he snorted, as he led his team into the camp.
Meanwhile, from the underground river underneath the camp, Cytolon 3 emerged from the water and launched itself into a small crack. Gardevoir and Larvesta were still hiding inside one of the tents. They had to keep quiet to avoid attention from the mutants.
"Ugh, we've been hiding in here for the whole day since we were taken here and nothing's happened…" Gardevoir said in her mind telepathically. "We need to get out of this tent and find out where we are." she said to Larvesta.
"But, the hybrid pokemon…" he chirped nervously. Suddenly, they heard a loud booming noise. It was the rescue team attacking the camp! The two pokemon peered out of the tent to see the team beating up various mutant pokemon with powerful fire, water, grass, and electric attacks.
"Now I know that the team's evolved a bit." Gardevoir whispered to herself. Suddenly, strange green water started oozing out of a crack under the tent. Two red eyes glared at Larvesta. He chirped loudly in fright, alerting not only Gardevoir, but a Machonix as well. (Machoke/ Onix) Gardevoir teleported herself and Larvesta to a safe location.
"We should be safe now." Gardevoir said to Larvesta, looking around a dungeon, to discover a familiar looking wood gecko pokemon…
The Machonix stepped closer to the soggy tent, going brown as the water pulsed through the material. It raised its hammer-like arm to crush the tent to pieces. However, the tent exploded with green water, throwing the mutant pokemon to Snipe's feet. The pokemon watched helplessly as the green puddle twitched moulded itself into the shape of Cytolon 3. It roared defiantly with its crocodilian-like mouth and swung its tail mace from side to side in a display of aggression.
"Not him again…" Pikachu hissed, using thunderbolt on the creature to weaken it. It melted back into a puddle, only re-emerge again, only more angry. It turned its attention to a sparkling object embedded in the ceiling. The creature jumped towards it, before being shot aside by a laser. It crashed into the wall, covering it in green water. The thing that shot it was Mew-M himself.
"I had a feeling we would meet up eventually." Mew-M growled. "Because of you insolent fools, that monster has stolen three of the Missingstones, and it nearly got its paws on the fourth one!" He dived towards the group aggressively. They got out of the way and he landed beside them. He raised his arm in the air to show a yellow Missingstone that he got from the ceiling.
"You think you've won this, freako? Well, you haven't, because we've trashed your camp, taken back the generators for Tunnel Glade, and Cytolon has three Missingstones, so it's more powerful than you!" Monferno rudely said.
"This war isn't over, you flea-bitten ape!" Mew-M hissed, as he flew up into the sky with his leathery wings. "I will take over this island before I'm done with you! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" he cackled as he flew off, with the stone in his hand. Croconaw turned around to see that Cytolon had vanished. Monferno pulled out his walkie-talkie to communicate with Yamask.
"Yamask, we did it, the power generators have been re-captured and ready for Tunnel Glade to use." he said into the device. "We also managed to find Grovyle."
"That's great to hear, mate!" Yamask replied from the other side. "Go to their base and inform them that their area is safe."
"Okay, Monferno out." Monferno said back. "Alright, guys, to the Tunnel Glade!"
Meanwhile back in the dungeon, Gardevoir and Larvesta were tending to a battered and bruised Grovyle, which was the real thing.
"How did you get like this, Grovyle?" Gardevoir asked.
"I had one of those nightmares about Most again, and because of that, I got caught and ended up in here." Grovyle responded. "By the way, how did you and Larvesta get to Pokemon Island anyway? You two were back at the village when we left…"
"That's a long story which we'll tell later once we're back with the others." Larvesta chirped. "But first, we need to get out of this dungeon."
"Not to worry, guys." Gardevoir said, as she blinked her eyes and they teleported to the exit of the tunnel, leading to a volcanic area. They were situated out of the group's view.
"Let's take a look around; they must be around here somewhere." Grovyle said, and with that, they journeyed through the Volcanic Plains to find their friends, and stop Snipe before it's too late.
However, from a small hole created by a long removed meteor, green water oozed out of the crater, with a familiar roar of aggression, and a dorsal fin with red bones inside emerged from the liquid. Cytolon 4, was ready to attack again…
