Crow: Another day, another update.
Me: Ok, this chapter is quite humorous, especially at the beginning.
Gantz: How so?
Me: Well, Larry tries to subject Clay, Zane, and Ash to inhumane tests, but the tests themselves are more lame than a Roger Corman movie.
Servo: Oooooh, burn!
Then we have Servo, Crow, and Cambot who then attempt to free the three young men, and that's when another comedic bt forces Clay into a situation his brother Luigi usually gets himself into.
Gantz: Ah, this sounds entertaining then.
Ace: Popcorn's ready!
Chapter 43: Larry's Torture-filled Experiments?
While Jessy and James were busy trying to find the pokemon, Clay, Ash, and Zane were being subjected to a barrage of annoying tests which for some reason, their captor Larry Erhardt thought were agonizing torture. All he was doing was asking questions that had no bearing in scientific study, other than determining the intelligence of a parrot or chimpanzee.
Larry threw out another question to the three friends as he asked, "Are cranberries cran?" All Ash could say in response was, "Are boyson berries boys, or girls?" Larry shrugged off Ash's remark, and held up a flash card with a picture of an umbrella. Larry then sked, "What's this?" Clay, wanting to be as rude as possible, said, "It's a flash card, you idiot."
"Come on! Please cooperate! Why aren't you feeling any pain from these tests!!!!" Larry whined as he threw down the flash card. Zane then said, "It's because these tests are about as painful as a gentle hug!" Ash then quipped with, "Although, despite how moronic this is, I'd still rather have a root canal." Clay then said, "Come on, I thought we were here to be tortured. Either do something to us, or just let us go!"
Larry then said, "Allright, fine! Have it your way!" Larry then began laughing as he pulled out a movie projector.
----------------------------
The rest the heroes kept following Lucario's lead as they arrived somewhere near Mt. Silver along the Johto/Kanto border. he group then saw a sinister looking building wedged underneath a cliff, out of sight of the nearby mountain path where hikers usually roam. "The base is at Mt. Silver!?" Brock asked out of suprise. Misty then said, "It makes sense. This place is kinda remote." Kooper then said, "We have no time to worry about that now! We got a job to do!" The flock of birds that provided the needed air lift for the heroes touched down as they landed some way's away from the base to prevent being seen.
Luigi then asked, "How are we going to do this?" HO-OH then said, "I think it may be important for us to lure the enemy out. They should hopefully bring out the DR pokemon as well. Me and my servents will lie in wait until they appear, and then we'll strike, and release the DR pokemon from the spell they've been put under."
Crow then said, Excellent idea! While that's going on, Servo, Cambot, Luigi and I will sneak in and free the hostages!" Luigi then yelled, "Why me!?" Servo, now in his commando costume, said, "Clay's your brother, remember?" Luigi then said, "Whoops I forgot he was captured for a sec, heh..." Luigi shook his head, and then said, "There's no time to be running scared this time! Let's-a go!" Crow put on a hard hat, complete with a built in flashlight, and picked up a pickax, then said, "Ok, let's hide in the bushes and go into the base once the others start the attack."
Once Crow, Servo, and Cambot hid in the bushes, HO-OH, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune disappeared from sight as well. That's when DK did his version of the Tarzan yell to get the attention of the enemy. This was followed by Luigi throwing a Bob-Omb into the side of the base to give Team Rocket a reason to come out to play. Shortly afterwards, the Rockets poured out in droves, followed by a swarm of DR pokemon. Seeing their oppritunity, Crow, Servo, and Cambot ran (or in Servo and Cambot's case, hovered) into the base.
---------------------------
Jessie and James were lucky that someone or something attracted the attention of every Rocket in the building, as it made their job of finding the pokemon a lot easier. They snuck into a security room that was abandoned, and saw the pokemon they and their friends had were locked in a room on the other end of the base, but there was thankfully a shortcut according to the map on the wall.
They barged into the room where the pokemon were held captive, and they hadn't been any happier seeing friendly faces, especially Meowth, Cacturn, Seviper, Mime Jr., Wobbuffet, and Dustox. Due to James' hacking skills, he was able to break the code on the combonation on the lock keeping the pokemon held prisoner.
But before the two former Rockets and the pokemon could escape, they heard a familiar voice say, "Just how did you fools get away!?" Jessie and James turned and saw their former boss, Giovanii glaring angrily at them. The pokemon all snarled at Giovanii, and even the normally tame Mime Jr. was hostile, and this time it wasn't mimicking amyone.
Giovanii smirked, and then said, "Even though you escaped your torture, you wont get by me! Go, Nidoking!"
------------------------------
Crow, Servo, and Cambot were running everywhere in the empty base wondering where to find their friends. They even split up several times but found nothing. Finally, Cambot found the security room Jessie and James were in just a few minutes ago. After checkng, they found Clay, Zane, and Ash were in a lab of some kind. Jessie and James were in a battle against a man in an orange business suit, which judging by his apperance matched the description of Giovanii that Jessie and James mentioned some time ago. They also appeared to be in a big battle, but Jessie and James seemed to be holding their own thanks to the support they have from all of the pokemon.
After checking which room Clay, Zane, and Ash were in, the three robots quickly ran off to find the lab they were trapped in. Along the way, Crow began singing, "It's a long way to Tipperary, to the sweetest girl I know! Goo-" Before Crow could go onto the next line of the song, Servo waved his machine gun in Crow's face as he said, "Crow, if you sing one more line of that song, I swear I'll shoot you!"
They found the lab, and quietly went inside. When Clay, Zane, and Ash spotted the robots, Crow held a finger to his beak to tell them to be quiet. They heard someone muttering about some projector not doing it's job, so the robots hid behind the table Zane was strapped down to.
The figure, whom we know happened to be Larry, came back to say to Clay, Ash, and Zane, "That stupid projector's broken! I can't do my style of torture now, how disappointing..." Larry then saw a small sparkel of gold from behind Zane's table, which happened to be Crow's beak slightly jutting from behind the table.
When Larry went around the table, he saw the robots, and they saw Larry. Crow, who was trying to break the electric locks holding Zane down, could say was, "Do you mind!? I'm trying to work here!" Larry then said, "Whoops, sorry." Larry turned away, and was getting ready to do another test, when he ran back behind the table, and yelled, "YOU!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!?!" Servo then said, "I could ask you the same thing, Larry!"
Ash, who was totally suprised now, yelled, "You guys know each other!?!!" Clay then said, "OF COURSE!!! NOW I know why Larry seemed so familiar!!! He was the first mad scientist who worked with Dr. Forrester when he started his scheme to rule the world by forcing people to watch bad movies!"
Larry then said, "How do you know that!?" Zane then said, "It's a long story, but I'm sure you'll learn it once you're behind bars!" The conversation was what Crow needed to finish hot wiring the table's electric locks, and Zane was finally free. He kicked Larry into the wall, then managed to break Ash from his binds by performing karate chops on the shackles that held Ash down.
Larry quickly got up and tried to grab Zane again, but Zane jumped out of Larry's way. Zane had no time to properly free Clay, and wound up having to simply break the leg support holding Clay's table up, and helped Clay up to his feet. Clay had no choice to simply hop out of the room as everyone ran out. Clay then yelled, "Hey, wait up! I can't run with this table on my back!!!!" After a few minutes, Larry saw his test subjects were gone, and took off after them to try and get his job done. As he ran down the halls, he asked himself, "Why are those stupid robots here of all places!? They should still be in space being tortured by Dr. F..."
The madness was only just beginning, so what lays ahead?
To be continued...
Otto: Well, it was funny, but not enough to actually send me into a fit of laughter.
Gantz: It's never easy to please you anyway. No offense.
Otto: None taken.
Ace: Well, I may not be in a fit of laughter as Otto put it, but I still enjoyed it. I especially liked how Crow simply told Larry to go away while he continued working on freeing Zane.
Wally: Poor Clay, stuck to an examination table.
Me: He'll get out of it eventually.
Servo: My beloved Luciel makes another apperance! I love you Luciel! (kisses his neutron machine pistol)
MMSB: (gives Servo a blank stare)
Me: Ok, R&R!
