Zane: "It's time, folks! Our favorite trio of villains return, a new Pokemon hatches into this world, and a new pair of allies join our heroes, though if their alliance will last long is anyone's guess. A few notes before we begin, special thanks go out to Prinnydood for the GL Pokemon designs he lent Gammatron for the original Unlimited Adventure story, and especially for the one featured in this chapter.
GammaTron: Here's to you, Prinnydood! ...Wait. 'Our' favorite trio of villains? No, no, no, no. My favorite villains are the Imagin from Kamen Rider Den-O, thank you very much. Oh, and I own the adorableness that is Rico.
Chapter 7: "New Friends and Old Enemies; A Ghost in the Machine"
There are people in this world that give new meaning to the word 'bad idea.' Luffy is one of those people. He was currently screaming his lungs out with his crew chasing after the bird on the Thousand Sunny.
"Franky, did you put anything on this that may help us catch that bird?" Misty asked.
"Yeah," Franky replied, "Swordsmen, Little Sister, follow me to below deck."
Zoro and Misty nodded and followed Franky below deck. The trio loaded three barrels of cola to a device in the back of the ship.
"COUP DE BURST!" Franky shouted as he pulled a lever.
Outside, the back of the Thousand Sunny opened up to reveal a strange pipe. The pipe's hole glowed before firing a powerful burst of pressurized air, sending the Thousand Sunny flying towards the bird. The bird turned to the left at the last second, a bored look on its face.
"OH COME ON!" the Mugiwara Pirates all shouted in disbelief, their eyes blank and teeth shark-like (or dragon-like for Ash), as the Thousand Sunny landed.
"TURN THE SHIP!" Ash ordered, "AFTER THAT BIRD!"
The bird was long gone by the time the Mugiwara Pirates turned their ship. The bird was now flying over a port town when it was shot by a cannon. The bird released Luffy.
"YAY! I'm…" He looked down, "FALLING!"
He tried to 'swim' in the air to try to not fall, but to no avail. He fell down and landed between a group of clown pirates and a girl. She had orange hair and brown eyes. She wore a white and orange short-sleeved vest with a black cloth connected by gold rope on her chest. She had an orange skirt with two white circles on each side held up by a black belt, gold rings on her writs, and black and gold heeled sandals with black string connecting them to her by her legs.
"Ow…" Luffy groaned as he got up, "But at least the bird is gone..."
"WHO ARE YOU?!" the clown pirates demanded, one knocking Luffy's hat off.
Luffy's left eye twitched as he cracked his fists.
POW! CLANG! WHAM! BANG! MEOW!
"Don't…hurt…my…hat…" Luffy stated calmly, his voice promising death to the out cold and bleeding clown pirates as a cat walked off and away from the one clown pirate covered in bruises and scratches.
"Whoa…" the girl awed, 'Where'd he get the cat?' "How did you do that? I'm Nami. Pleased to meet you. I specialize in robbing pirates. Wanna team up with me?"
"Nope," Luffy bluntly replied, walking off.
"Now wait a minute!" Nami yelped as she chased him.
"Keep sailing the way we saw that bird fly off," Ash ordered.
"Do you see him yet?" Zoro called up to Misty in the crow's 'nest.'
"Not yet!" Misty replied before a large net covered the entine ship, "What?"
"What's going on!?" Zoro asked.
"Prepare for trouble, you're stuck in a net!"
"And make it double, you can guess who we are, I bet!"
A giant orange fish with yellow fins, pink lips, and yellow whiskers came out of the water. The top fin opened backwards and three beings came out of it. One was a woman with long red hair in a white shirt over a black shirt, and a white skirt and black boots, one was a man with blue hair in a white jacket, black gloves and boots, and white pants, and the last was a cat with a gold coin on its head with brown hind legs and on the end of his curled tail.
"An evil in the form of a harmless rose," the woman recited.
"Chaos is the path all should abode," the man recited.
"The sea is unforgiving and cruel."
"It's just like us, but we spell your doom."
"Jessie," the woman said.
"And it's James," the man added.
"Meowth, now dat's a name!" the cat smirked.
"Wherever good thrives…"
"Team Rocket will be there…"
"And stomp it until the good dies!" all three said in unison.
"Wobbuffet!" The blue blob-like Pokemon with a black tail with eyes on the tail saluted.
"Mime-Mime-Mine!" a pink clown-like Pokemon with a big red nose, a blue hat, and blue legs copied Wobbuffet.
"Not now…" Ash groaned.
"Who are those three losers?" Zoro asked, "And what was with that crappy motto?"
"WHAT ARE YOU CALLING 'CRAPPY?!'" Team Rocket demanded, their eyes white and their teeth shark-like.
"They're annoying," Zoro growled before Ash touched the net and collapsed.
"Ah! Ash!" Misty gasped.
"Sea…Stone…" Ash moaned.
"You though we forgot about those weird abilities you have, Twerp?" Jessie laughed.
"Mi, Zuuta, find the knot on this net and untie it," Brook ordered.
Mi and Zuuta tried to float out of the net, but were sent backwards.
"Spirit tags to ward off evil spirits," James sneered, holding one of the tags between his fingers. "We've planned for every contingency this time.
"Now fer da Twoip's Pikachu," Meowth grinned as he pressed a button on a controller.
A rubber-covered robotic hand came out of the robot fish's mouth and grabbed Pikachu and Monferno.
"Ah! Pikachu! Monferno!" Ash gasped, struggling to get up only to collapse once again.
"STRONG RIGHT!" Franky shouted.
His right fist fired at Team Rocket, connected by a chain. The fist broke the hand and freed the two Pokemon outside the net.
"Aaah!" Jessie shrieked before grabbing Meowth by the whiskers, "Meowth, what happened to getting the super indestructible robot arms we planned on?"
"Well, seastone don't come cheap, so we had ta cut a few corners here and there," the cat pokemon laughed sheepishly before a quick punch left a large bump on the top of his head.
"So much for every contingency," James commented dryly.
"Pikachu, Monferno, you little dudes find a way to get this net off Sunny," Franky said.
"Oh no you don't! Yanmega, stop them!" Jessie ordered as she threw a Pokéball.
It released a Yanmega. Yanmega was a large, dark-green dragonfly. Each of Yanmega's segments had a red spot on it while the last segment had a black thorn on it. Yanmega had two black triangular plates on the back of its thorax and another plate on its head. Yanmega had red and white wings. Yanmega's eyes were red with a "Y" shape in each one. It could also be said that Yanmega had the appearance of a plane.
"Yanmega." (Yes, Jessie.)
He charged at Pikachu and Monferno.
"Is this your home?" Luffy asked.
"No," Nami replied as she sat down, "It's a friend's house. I'm staying here with him until I get Buggy's treasure."
"Ah, so who is this Bugger guy, anyway? And why are you trying to steal his stuff?" Luffy asked.
"Buggy," Nami corrected, "is a very powerful pirate captain with weird powers he got from a Devil Fruit. He came to this town not too long ago and took over the place, scaring all the citizens into fleeing to a shelter. Between you and me, I heard he has a huge stash of treasure hidden in his base, along with a map of the Grand Line worth a fortune, so I've been trying day after day to sneak in and steal everything out from under him. Although, like you saw, something always goes wrong and I'm left fleeing for my life." she then heard Luffy's stomach go off, "Hungry?"
"MEAT!" Luffy cheered.
A cobalt tail placed a plate of meat in front of Luffy. Luffy cheered and ate it, not even caring about the tail. Nami blinked a few times as she saw how fast he was eating it.
"Hey. What's with that tail?" Luffy asked, after eating, "Is it your tail?"
"YOU JUST NOTICED IT?!" Nami barked, her eyes becoming white and her teeth shark-like, before she pointed to her left, "IT'S HIS TAIL!"
Luffy turned to see a small boy. He had wolf ears and a fox tail. He wore a black shirt and white shorts. He had cobalt hair and emerald eyes. He gave a small wave.
"You wanna join my crew?" Luffy asked.
"Your crew?" Nami asked.
"Yeah. I'm looking for a Navigator for my Pirate Crew," Luffy replied.
"PIRATE CREW?!" Nami gasped.
The boy whimpered and hid behind Nami.
"Forget it," Nami said, "I hate Pirates for a few reasons. But I do love money, and tangerines."
"That explains why you smell like money and mikan," Luffy said, "So do you live here all by yourself, little guy?"
The boy just shivered and clung tighter to Nami.
"His parents were killed on the day Buggy showed up here while his brother and sister went off to become Pokemon Pirate Trainers two years ago," Nami explained, "I came here a few weeks ago and met up with Rico-chan."
Luffy frowned.
"That's it. I'm kicking Booger's ass," Luffy stated, causing the child to gawk at him.
"IT'S BUGGY, YOU NO-GOOD PIRATE!" Nami barked, her face going back there once more, 'Wait! Idea forming!' "On second thought, I'll make a temporary alliance with you. You just have to come with me to see Buggy, alright?"
"Good. Now I get to kick his ass," Luffy agreed, banging his fists together.
"DON'T CURSE IN FRONT OF CHILDREN!" Nami barked, whacking Luffy on the head.
Rico tugged Nami's skirt. Nami kneeled down to Rico.
"Don't worry, Rico-chan," Nami whispered, "I'm just…"
Rico had his tail on Nami's leg as Nami whistled a tune. Currently, she was dragging a tied-up and complaining Luffy to the tavern that the pirates who took over the town were partying at.
"These ropes are giving me a wedgie, and I'm not even wearing any underwear!" Luffy complained.
"Okay, TMI," Nami sweatdropped as Rico blinked twice in confusion at the pirate.
Yanmega was about to ram Pikachu and Monferno into the seawater when something strange stopped him. It was a gray sphere with a wispy tail-end and a red eye. Going around the eye was a metal plate with vertical slits at the bottom, indicating where a possible mouth was. Floating around it were pieces of garbage, scrap iron, and various small tools.
"Gar…soul Garsoul." (You… shall not pass.)
"What kind of Pokemon is that?" Jessie pondered.
"Alright! The egg hatched into a SUPER Pokemon!" Franky posed.
Ash pulled out his device.
=Garsoul, the Junkyard Pokemon; Region: Grand Line. It is a common occurrence to see Garsoul floating around a junkyard. The scrap metal floating around Garsoul can reshape it to allow Garsoul to resemble various Pokemon and even give it limbs and weapons=
"I've never heard of a Garsoul before," Ash said.
"That is because Garsoul is a Grand Line Pokemon, just like Zoro's Shinite," Brook explained.
"What SUPER attacks does he do?"
"I'll ask Dexter," Ash replied as he pulled the device out once more.
=Garsoul is a combination of Steel and Ghost. Current attacks: Shadow Ball, Iron Tail, Screech, and Mean Look=
"Alright. BF-61, use Mean Look!" Franky ordered.
Garsoul's eye glowed before Yanmega glowed red. The glow stopped after a few seconds.
"Yanmega, forget that floating trash collector! Go and get that Pikachu and Monferno!" Jessie ordered.
Yanmega turned to charge at the two, but the red aura reappeared and forcibly turned it around so it was facing Garsoul again. Though it struggled, Yanmega couldn't turn away from the ghost.
"Now, BF-61, use Iron Tail!" Frank posed.
The junk around BF-61 connected with the end of its wisp, turning into a large, tail-like structure. The 'tail' glowed before whacking Yanmega on the head.
"OW! Now get it with a SUPER Shadow Ball!" Franky shook his rear as he began to roll his arms above his head.
The tail split apart. A black sphere of energy formed in front of BF-61's eye before firing at Yanmega, sending him into Jessie and knocking the trio into the machine.
"Pikachu, Thunder! Monferno, Fire Blast!" Ash ordered.
"Pika…CHUUU!" (Take…THIS!)
"Monferno!" (Eat my fire!)
Monferno fired a man-made of flames from his mouth as Pikachu sent out a bolt of lightning. The two attacks hit the fish and caused it to explode.
"LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" Team Rocket screamed as they were sent flying into the sky.
Pikachu, Monferno, and BF-61 managed to find the knot keeping the net on the Thousand Sunny and untied it.
"Good job, BF-61!" Franky said, "Now let's dance!"
BF-61's junk glowed and reshaped into skinny arms and legs. Both began to shake their hips as they rolled their arms above their heads. They did Franky's pose and a small explosion happened behind them.
"So why are you calling that Garsoul BF-61?" Misty asked.
"Battle Franky Number 61!" Franky replied, "That's because the junk around him is junk from my workroom. Huh? What's up, Skeleton?"
Brook's jaw was close to falling off as he shook. He gave a piercing fear-filled scream.
"GHOST!" Brook screamed, hiding behind Misty, "PLEASE DON'T EAT ME! I'M 'JUST DEAD BONES' BROOK!"
"You're not afraid of your Ghost pokemon, but you're afraid of BF-61?" Misty asked with a sweatdrop.
"You're afraid of bugs," Brook argued.
"Damn those guys," Ash growled, ignoring the banter, "We're behind. Franky, fire another Coup de Burst!"
"Aye-Aye, Co-Captain!" Franky saluted, "Swordsman, Little Sister, let's go!"
In a few minutes, another Coup de Burst fired.
"Incoming town!" Brook, wearing a heavy cloak and having his Haunter covering him in its veil of gas and ectoplasm, shouted as the boat landed.
The Thousand Sunny stopped at (should we say, 'crashed into') the port. Franky sighed in relief. Now that they were in a town, he could refuel. Adding the first Coup de Burst they used, they were severely low on Cola.
"Okay, so we find Luffy and get out of here after buying some more supplies," Ash said.
"Right!" everyone agreed.
"Dewgong!" Luffy's Pokemon fired an Ice Beam as it slid on the newly formed ice.
"I think Dewgong knows where Luffy is," Misty said.
"FOLLOW THAT DEWGONG!" Ash shouted.
