Author's Notes: Well, this has to be the fastest chapter I've ever completed. Four and a half pages in two hours. That's a new record for me, I'm pretty sure. Anyway, I have nothing else to say, so let's get to replies.

Foxyjosh: Well, I can't say anything because you'll find out in this chapter.

VulpixTrainer: Now who says that Nick's going to tell them? I would like to say, but again, that would be spoiling :D

NamiKamiYukiZone145: Hehe, though I can't pick a favorite generation, I can say that my two favorites are in that generation. The first one is most obvious, but the second one is slightly less obvious, but you can still easily figure it out.

Anyway, one with the story :D

Chapter 42

"Oh, you got to be kidding me. How in their world did they get Celebi!?"

Karen didn't respond, there was only static. "Karen, 'you there?" Still no response. The connection was broken.

I had some time to put an idea together. From what I remembered Celebi was more or less something found in the forests. First order of business was to get my family out of there.

'Come on, Terra, we're not safe here anymore. We have to get out of here. Let's get back to the campsite.'

Terra nodded and jumped off my lap. We made our way back through the forest and onto the path. As we walked along, Terra rose some questions.

'So what do you plan to do after we get out of here?'

'I don't know! We just have to... I'm just... I can't think of anything.'

'Nick, you're panicking. Calm down.'

'HOW!? I've got to stop one of the most powerful forces ever without anyone discovering. I don't even know where it is!'

Suddenly, there was a loud thundering rumble that shook the ground rapidly. The thundering eventually stopped as the ground stopped shaking.

'Oooh crap.' There was another loud rumble that suddenly arose then faded away only this time, I heard where it came from. 'Let's go!'

I ran off the path as Terra trotted behind. It did amuse me that when I ran as fast as I could, Terra merely trotted along my side like it wasn't any trouble at all to her. But now wasn't the time to focus on such a thing.

As the branches streamed by me as I ran, they scratched all along my bare arms and legs. It felt like the forest was endless, that I was never going to get to the opening. There was another loud thundering crash that again slowly faded away.

'So, how do you plan to do this?'

'Well, granted, I don't know where the crashes are coming from, but Celebi shouldn't be that hard,' I told myself in delusion, 'He... she... it is pretty small.'

Terra gave me an annoyed look and said, 'You're going to need to do better than that.'

'Well do you have any better ideas,' I said. Terra grunted. 'Well, this shouldn't be that bad...'

I finally came to an opening, but what I saw made me scream. "OH MY GOD!"

In the middle of the clearing was what looked like Godzilla! It stood nearly five stories tall, but what was really strange was that it was completely made up of vines! I was stuck in silent shock, intimidated and scared of what I was facing.

I was knocked back into reality when the grassy foot stomped on the ground, taking another step that shook the ground wildly. I almost fell over.

'THAT'S CELEBI!?' Terra exclaimed. 'Where's the chip!?'

'Unfortunately, that's not Celebi but it's being controlled by Celebi. It should be inside that big vine monster.'

'Where inside the monster?'

'From what I remember, the head.' The monster took another step away from us.

'Where is it going?'

'You're full of questions today, aren't you?'

'Focus, Nick.'

I dug into my mind trying to think of north, east, south and west. I gasped. 'It's heading for the highway, we have to work NOW!'

'I take it that you have a plan?'

I looked up at the towering beast. 'Terra, this is the time that I must do what is needed. Although I may hate this idea, it's our only chance.' I looked back at Terra. 'How are your climbing skills?'

'CLIMBING!? Can't I simply set it on fire?'

'No, that would put Celebi in terrible danger, not to mention the entire forest. So, as I asked, how are your climbing skills?

'Typhlosions have awesome claws. Great for living in those mountainous areas. I think I can do this.' There was twinkle in Terra's eye as she smirked. But it disappeared when Terra came to the realization of Chandler. 'Wait! What do I do with Chandler?'

'Terra, he's a big boy now, I think we can leave him here.'

Terra glanced at Chandler who rested on her neck. 'I can't, I don't want anything to happen to him.'

'Just place him near the trees, behind this... thing. It doesn't look like it's going to turn around very much. And if Chandler wanders off, you can just sniff him out.'

Terra glanced at Chandler for another quick second. She whimpered quietly before saying, 'Take him...' I picked up Chandler. 'And DON'T HURT HIM!' She flared up her back and bared her teeth.

'WHOA, whoa, Terra calm down. I'm not going to hurt him. He's okay, just calm down.' Terra released the stress on her back, and stopped growling.

'Sorry, instinct.' I took Chandler and placed him by a tree behind the Celebi's vines. I took a quick step away before running back and hugging Chandler and then turning back. I ran back to Terra.

'Let's do this!' We faced the monster and what was probably our demise. We turned to Celebi and waited for the another thundering crash to come down. The foot smashed into the ground as the other leg began to rise. "GO!"

Me and Terra ran towards the foot that was settled in the ground. We jumped onto the side of the leg, which was as wide as a car, and held on. Terra took the right side and I took the left. The vines made it plenty easy to hold on.

And from there, we began scaling Celebi's vines. For the first few seconds everything seemed fine... for me at least. Terra had a hard time scaling a vertical wall with such short legs, but she was doing what she could.

Suddenly the other foot came thumped back onto the ground, causing the vines the rumble and shake violently. We waited until it was stable. The vines stopped shaking.

'Are we good now?' I asked.

'I think SO!' Suddenly the foot we were holding onto came rising into the air. 'CLIMB!'With all the strength we had, we pulled ourselves up further up the leg, so that there would be less rumble from the foot landing. The foot slammed down and we experienced the shock. But not as much as we would if we were at the foot.

The other foot began to rise as did Terra and I. We finally arrived at the hips but to my horror every vine ran vertically down the back. 'Oh crap, I can't climb those!' I looked around every part of the side, back, and front but every vine was vertical.

I kept looking until the hand and arm behind me caught my eye. All horizontal vines, the stuff I could climb!

'Come on, this way.'

'Are you sure that's such a good idea?'

'It's the only way.'

I watched the arm swing back and forth by the hip. 'Okay, are you ready?'

Terra nodded quickly.

'Okay, three.' The arm swung by once. 'Two.' The arm swung by again. 'One.' One final swing.

'NOW!' Terra and I jumped in unison across to the arm as it slowly swung by. Terra grabbed onto the wrist and I grabbed onto a finger.

'NICK!' Terra yelled.

I grunted and tried to pull myself up. When the arm swung all the way, it started falling, which made it much easier to swing up onto the hand. I was able to grab onto the back of the wrist.

'Let's go!' I slowly but surely pulled myself up with each swing. I couldn't see Terra from the other side of the wrist which made me worry. But I had to make it up.

On one slightly faster swing I over launched a little and reached back to the arm to grab on. My right hand grabbed onto a loose vine and I pulled myself back. I crashed back onto the arm and my left hand slammed onto a leaf. Celebi's movements instantly stopped.

'What's happening, Nick?'

Suddenly, I felt the arm rise rapidly. I looked back to find that we were starting to spin. The arm rose to an almost horizontal level and Celebi started to spin around. I could feel the g-force lift me off of the arm and pull me away. I grabbed onto the vines hard. I lifted all the way off the arm feeling the g-force killing my arms.

I screamed into the air as we spun around a full three hundred and sixty degrees, the g-force stopped and a fell back down to the arm. It was then I came to a conclusion.

'Terra, don't touch the leaves!' I couldn't here any response from Terra, but I kept moving anyway. With a few more swings of the arm, I finally made it to Celebi's shoulders. Avoiding the leaves, I sat down to catch my breath. I looked at the view to find the road only ten steps away from certain doom. I kept a solid eye over the edge to see if Terra was coming, but after a few seconds of not seeing her, I was nervous.

'Terra?' I waited but still no answer. I started to move towards the edge, when suddenly Terra popped over the edge of the shoulder. I ran up and pulled Terra up. Terra crawled up and gripped onto the vines, trying to get her strength back. Terra was panting harder than I'd ever seen. I could see the heat shimmering off her body and little puffs of smoke coming out with each breath.

'Come on, we're almost done.' We got up and clamped onto the vines on the back of the head and side stepped over. We came to the center of the back of the head. 'Okay, Terra, I need you to slash the vines.'

'And then?'

'You can get down from here, I'll be good.' Terra looked into my eyes with great worry. She whimpered a little, before smiling and then slashing the vines.

'Good luck, Nick.' As Terra sidestepped back to the shoulder, I pulled along the slashed vines and slid in and grabbed onto some loose vines so that I wouldn't fall to my doom.

The inside of the head was hollow, but it had a floor like a large room. Small beams of light filled the room coming from the small holes in between the vines. I looked onto the floor and spotted what seemed like hundreds of pollen spores.

I grabbed a vine and ripped off a small piece. I threw it to the floor, onto one of the pollen spores. It gently rolled and touched one of the spores. Suddenly, roughly ten vines shot out from all sides and ripped the piece to shreds.

Surely enough, I looked up to find Celebi in the other side of the room, surrounded by a cage of vines. I looked closely to find that its eyes were glowing extremely brightly. This action must of been draining a ton of power out of it.

I swung a little bit on the vine and landed against the wall, grabbing a vine and holding on. I slowly slid down until a met the floor. I gently placed my feet on the ground, keeping an eye on where the spores where.

I turned around to find that there was just enough space between each spore to allow me to make it across. I carefully took each step, roughly ten seconds in between each step, being as careful as I could.

I made it half way across the room with nothing wrong yet. 'This isn't so bad.' Suddenly, Celebi took another step and the head shook violently. I found myself trying to catch my balance on one foot. I was flailing my arms trying to get back up, but it wasn't working.

Out of instinct, my other foot launched down and hit the ground. I looked down to find that I hit a spore. Within an instant, I bolted for Celebi as fast as I could. The vines started launching out from all around. I jumped over the first vine, then ducked under the second. The third one grabbed onto my right hand, nearly crushing my wrist. I yanked at my hand which snapped the vine off. I kept running when another vine caught my shoulder. I pushed it off and kept running. I was only a few feet away from Celebi when suddenly a number of vines caught onto me. I pushed against them with all my might. I forced myself forward, my feet sliding on the ground being pulled back with all force.

Celebi was only a few inches out of reach. I was so close. At this point it felt like I had every vine caught on my body. I leaned forward reaching as far as I could. I could feel the chip sliding against my fingers. I felt sharp pains in every part of my body, some of which were getting unbearable. I suddenly heard a snap in my body, and felt my ankle throb in pain. I screamed into the air, but continued to reach. With one last chance, I threw my arm and weight forward. Several vines grabbed onto my arm, and gripped it tight. I suddenly felt an extremely sharp pain in the spot little short of my wrist. I forced my arm through and grabbed onto something. Not knowing if I had a vine or the chip, I yanked as hard as I could. Though I couldn't see the chip, the glowing light emerged and the chip shot out.

It was over. This was one of the most exhausting things that I had ever done. I couldn't feel any part of my body anymore, I was huffing wildly.

The vines instantly released their grip and went limp. A few of the vines simply slid off and fell to the floor. I looked up to find some of the vines were losing their strain and falling from their position.

Suddenly, I felt a sinking feeling below my foot, being that my other foot was broken. I looked down to find that the vines were giving out beneath me. Slowly, every vine around me started to lose its strength and fall. I ran where ever I could so that I wouldn't be crushed by a pile of greenery.

I felt the air rush by my face as I started to fall five stories out of the air, falling the way I did when I fell off Lugia; back first.

Scared to move with various broken body parts and too exhausted to move, I remained still and closed my eyes, unable to fight my imminent doom. My last hope were the vines below or so I thought.

I suddenly felt the wind around me slowing down. The feeling of perfect weightlessness left me and was replaced with the feeling of floating on water. I opened my eyes just enough to see some strands of light. Floating in the air was a small green speck that glowed brightly in the air. I weakly smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel myself being slowly lowered and then gently placed on the ground beside the vines.

I was still panting and breathing out of exhaustion. The world seemed so much more vivid. The wind blustered occasionally, and the ground felt like it was frozen. From my view it felt like the world was spinning, I was starting to lose my vision. My breaths became longer and longer. I suddenly felt Terra's warm, smooth fur by my side. I glanced over at Terra, who was just a blue and yellow blob through my vision. I could feel my eyes water up from the wind in my eyes and the pain.

'You've done well, Nick.'

'So have you, Terra.'

I faced the sky once again and stared at the sky. With one final sigh, I relaxed every muscle in my body, closed my eyes and felt my mind fade into darkness. And with that, I went out cold.


Author's After-notes: Also, you do not know how hard it is to make your character go unconscious and still have the shock and epicness of the event still going. Saying unconscious just sounds... weird. Any suggestions?
