Chapter 16: The Sinjoh Ruins – The Rocket Regime
"Pika….CHUUUU!" Pikachu burst out, firing out a powerful Thunderbolt once more. He then attempted a few Iron Tails to try to break free. Unfortunately, there was no way for his electric attacks or tail strikes to be able to break the glass.
For some reason, the fighting elite was back with Giovanni. "Boss, are you really going to throw Pikachu in a volcano?"
"If I have to," Giovanni replied. "I've got something else in mind, so you'll see."
Driven to Damage
It was a cold and chilly day in the Sinjoh Ruins and about one-thirty in the afternoon. The once bright ruins became darker because Palkia's gloomy dimensional cloud. Nevertheless, there was still light in the ruins from what could still shine through. Serena was in the front of the ruins giving updates to Drew, Kenny, Conway, and Clair. Iris and Cilan were busy battling and controlling Ariana and Atlas. They were all the way at the left vertex of the triangular Mystri Stage. The rest of Team Pikachu made their way right around the Mystri Stage and were determined to save Pikachu no matter how they felt. Fortunately, everyone was snuggled in their winter clothes, so there was little to no complaining.
However, stopping the legendary Pokemon would not be so easy. Most of all, the high-ranking Team Rocket members were still around to stand in their way.
All of Team Pikachu knew that there was not much time left before it was too late. So they started by trying to faint the legends by force now that they were up close.
"Everyone!" Donovan yelled. "Let's try to damage the legendary Pokemon on the Mystri Stage!"
"Okay," Ash agreed.
"Right," everyone else also agreed.
"Azurill," Misty called out.
"Marill," Tracey also said.
"Use Water Gun on Dialga!" Misty and Tracey said in unison.
"Bunnelby," Clemont said, "use Mud Shot on Giratina! Chespin, you use Pin Missile on Giratina!"
"All right, Corsola," Misty yelled, "use Spike Cannon on Palkia!"
"Dedenne, use Thundershock on Palkia!" Bonnie shouted.
"Let's do this, Blaziken!" Blaziken Mask roared. "Fire Flamethrower at Arceus!"
Everyone watched as the legendary Pokemon took damage from the attacks. The creation trio and Arceus were so concentrated on making the portals that they could not do anything back.
"We should help too," Ash said, looking at Dawn.
"Right," Dawn agreed. "Go Quilava!"
"You too, Quilava!" Ash called out.
"Use Eruption on Dialga!" they both cried. Dialga took a great deal of damage, but it continued its work nonetheless.
"Croagunk, use Poison Sting on Palkia!" Brock called out.
"Luxray, use Discharge on Palkia!" Ashlyn shouted.
"Manectric, you use Thunderbolt on that Palkia!" Donovan also said.
"Go Glaceon!" May said loudly. "Hit Giratina with an Ice Shard!"
"You too, Mamoswine!" Dawn called out. "Use Ice Shard!"
"Inkay," James commanded, "use Psybeam on Arceus!"
"All right Infernape," Ash told his Pokemon, "Flamethrower on Arceus!"
"Togekiss, help Ash out by using Aura Sphere on Arceus!" Dawn also said.
There were many Pokemon out all at the same time, and they were all attacking the legendary Pokemon as hard as possible. The four legends took huge damage, but being the legends they were, they braced Team Pikachu's attacks.
It was at this time that Petrel took into consideration what they were doing. "Oh no! At this rate, the creation trio won't be strong enough to create the portals!" Petrel cried. "Go, my five Koffing! Use a rapid fire Sludge attack on all of them!"
"Look out everyone!" Tracey cried. He was the first to notice being the watchful trainer he was. "Sludge attacks incoming from 2 o'clock!"
"Wobbuffet, use Mirror Coat to send those attacks back!" Jessie commanded. However, there were so many Sludge attacks that Wobbuffet wouldn't be enough.
"You're not the only one with Mirror Coat!" Misty declared. "Do it, Corsola!"
"You too, Glaceon!" May also said confidently. "Use Mirror Coat!"
The spinning Koffing took a barrage of all their Sludge attacks right back at them! They had been reflected big time!
"Grr…" Petrel murmured, "I'll make sure to stop those meddling kids!" A couple hits on Koffing gave Team Pikachu some time to talk.
"Hey Dawn," Misty asked her all of a sudden.
"What is it?" Dawn wondered.
"Tell your Quilava to use Smokescreen," Misty said. "Then escape to that wall to the right of us and hide behind it. Clemont, Tracey, and I will handle Petrel."
"Okay," Dawn agreed.
"I see," Ash said. "Did everyone else get that?"
"Yep," everyone whispered back.
"Okay, do it Dawn!" Ash said.
"Quilava, use Smokescreen!" Dawn commanded.
"Qui-LAVA!" Quilava burst out.
The Smokescreen provided an easy cover for the team to escape. Most of Team Pikachu escaped, leaving only Clemont, Blaziken Mask, Tracey, and Misty behind. Ash, Dawn, May, Brock, Ashlyn, Donovan, Jessie, James, and Meowth were all out of Petrel's sight when the smoke cleared.
Vs Petrel
"Huh?!" Petrel trembled in shock. "Where did they go?!"
"Nowhere!" Clemont proclaimed.
"But we know where you're going!" Tracey declared.
"You're going down!" Misty shouted.
"Is that so?" Petrel laughed.
"Check this out," Clemont told Tracey and Misty. "The future is now thanks to science!"
"What is it?" Misty and Tracey both asked.
"I invented it just recently for this quest so it's my very first prototype," Clemont explained. "I call it my 'mechanical absorber of any Pokemon's move – model 0.1'!"
"Mechanical what?!" Misty and Tracey asked in a confused state. Blaziken Mask just smiled.
"The point is that he won't be able to stop us no matter how many Sludges he fires!"
"We'll just have to see about that!" Petrel mocked. "Koffing use rapid fire Sludge attack once more on that little boy!"
"Clemontic gear on!" Clemont yelled.
Clemont's new invention absorbed all of the Sludge attacks like a charm!
"What?!" Petrel said in disbelief.
"Yeah!" Clemont said.
Unfortunately, the invention didn't last for long. "Oh no!" Clemont cried.
"BOOM!" The mechanical absorber was completely burnt out, leaving the inventor covered in smoke.
"Aww man," Clemont sighed, letting out a cough.
"Back to the drawing board," Blaziken Mask chuckled, knowing his son.
"It's okay Clemont," Misty said.
"That was awesome!" Tracey praised.
"Whatever," Petrel stated. "Koffing, attack the trainers using Gyro Ball!"
"This is bad!" Clemont, Misty, and Tracey cringed.
"All right Blaziken, Mega Evolve!" Blaziken Mask called out. "Knock them all back with Blaze Kick!"
Mega Blaziken swiftly thrusted the poison Pokemon back with the flick of its legs!
"Urgh…" Petrel said, starting to get annoyed. "Use Sludge again, Koffing!"
"Azurill," Misty said.
"Marill," Tracey also said.
"Water Gun!" they both said in unison.
"Haha, your water moves can't win!" Petrel cackled. "Use Shock Wave!"
The huge Shock Wave fired from the five Koffing dealt heavy damage to Azurill and Marill. Marill worked its way back up, confident to fight back.
"Let's show them your new move!" Tracey yelled. "Marill, use Play Rough on all of them!" Marill tackled into all five Koffing with amazing speed.
"We can help too," Clemont said, returning his Bunnelby. "Chespin, use Pin Missile on the five of them!"
"Corsola," Misty called out, "use Spike Cannon!"
"Mega Blaziken," Blaziken Mask yelled, "use Flamethrower!"
The five Koffing tried to float away up in the air, but they could not escape. Weakened from the powerful attacks, the Koffing started falling to the ground!
"All right!" Clemont cheered.
"We did it!" Misty and Tracey also cheered. The Koffing landed weakly on the ground right next to Azurill, Marill, Corsola, Chespin, and Mega Blaziken.
"Not so fast!" Petrel laughed. "Use Explosion!"
"What?!" they screamed in terror.
"Quick, get out of there!" Blaziken Mask told his Pokemon.
Mega Blaziken was the only Pokemon fast enough to dodge thanks to its Speed Boost ability. Unfortunately, Azurill, Marill, Corsola, and Chespin were all caught in the annihilation. The Pokemon were fainted so bad it was hard to watch.
"Oh no!" the three younger trainers gasped.
Their Pokemon were completely done for.
"Return," they all sighed.
"What are you going to do now?" Petrel laughed. "You wasted all of your attacks for nothing! Go Weezing; let's finish this!"
"Grr, you're not getting away with – " Blaziken Mask started.
"Wait," Misty said, stopping Blaziken Mask. "This is no way for a Pokemon trainer to be acting. I'm going take care of Weezing myself! Go Starmie!"
"Oh, you're the Cerulean City gym leader," Petrel laughed in remembrance. "Looks like I'm going to get a Cascade Badge!"
"The only thing you're getting from me is defeat!" Misty roared.
Starmie vs Weezing
"Starmie, use Hydro Pump!"
"Use Double Team, Weezing!" Petrel commanded. The Double Team created multiple copies of the already two headed Weezing, which greatly confounded Starmie. All of the copies were now hovering above and around Misty's Pokemon.
"Hahaha, now use Sludge!" Petrel roared. Barrages of Sludge bombarded the Pokemon from all directions!
"That won't matter!" Misty yelled. "Starmie, deflect it with Rapid Spin!" The Rapid Spin easily deflected the incoming blasts!
"Now use Bubblebeam on all of them while spinning!" Misty commanded.
"Hmph," Petrel responded.
After knocking out all of the Weezing clones at once, Clemont was amazed by the technique. "Wow that was a cool move, Misty!"
"She actually saw the spinning Bubblebeam idea from Dawn," Tracey corrected.
"Thanks!" Misty replied to Clemont. "Tracey's right; she showed it to us while we were fishing."
However, Petrel knew the spinning Bubblebeam had no effect at all. The real Weezing appeared right behind Starmie unharmed.
"That was nothing!" Petrel laughed. "Weezing, use Double Team again!"
Petrel had a trick of his own. "By using Double Hit after a Double Team, I can hit an endless amount of times! I call this combo Multi-Double Hit; do it Weezing!"
"Multi-Double Hit?!" Clemont said in shock.
"Watch out Misty!" Tracey cried out.
"Don't worry, I've got this!" Misty assured. "Starmie, use Ice Beam while using Rapid Spin in place!"
"All of the Weezing are getting hit by the Ice Beam!" Clemont pointed out.
"Way to go, Misty!" Tracey said.
All of the Weezing were getting knocked out except for the real one. "Now slam into the real Weezing with Rapid Spin!"
"How could this be?!" Petrel screamed terrified in shock. He could only watch as Weezing took the attack.
"Now finish it off with Hydro Pump!" Misty roared.
After taking the attack, Weezing was extremely weak. However, the battle was far from over.
"What are you going to do now?" Misty laughed.
"…This!" Petrel laughed back. "Use Pain Split!"
"Oh no!" Tracey said.
"Pain Split evens out the battlers' hit points, so all of Starmie's hard work was for nothing!"
"That's right!" Petrel declared. "Now use Multi-Double Hit!"
"Urgh," Misty grumbled.
Just then, after taking the attack, Misty came up with an idea.
"That's it!" Misty realized. "First, stop the Multi-Double Hit clones with Rapid Spin Ice Beam! Then use Bubblebeam right above you!"
"Huh," Clemont said.
"I wonder what she's thinking," Tracey wondered.
"I've had enough of this," Petrel stated. "Weezing, finish it off now with Multi-Double Hit! But this time, charge in all at the same time!"
"Now!" Misty proclaimed. "Use Ice Beam on the bubbles above you and dodge all of them as they fall!"
Freezing the bubbles caused them to all crash down with massive impact. The force caused severe damage to all the Weezing, especially the real one.
"Nooo!" Petrel cried.
"Finish this with Hydro Pump!" Misty commanded.
The surging Hydro Pump blasted Weezing with tremendous power. Weezing was done for.
"Even if you've grown a lot," Petrel said, returning his Weezing, "you're still a mere runt compared to your sisters."
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" Misty roared in a rage, taking out her mallet. She swung it so hard it knocked Petrel out cold.
"Venonat, use Sleep Powder," Tracey said. "That will make sure he doesn't get up."
"Good work, Misty," Clemont said.
"You were awesome!" Tracey added.
"Thanks," Misty replied.
Vs Proton
After successfully escaping Petrel thanks to Smokescreen, the remaining members of Team Pikachu continued moving right. They needed to continue advancing to get as much as possible in order to deal damage to the legends and stop Giovanni, who was seated right behind the Mystri Stage. However, there was yet another obstacle in the way.
"Hopefully we can stop this before time runs out," Brock stated as they were running.
"We have find Giovanni and do as much damage as possible," Donovan told them.
"It's our only chance," Ashlyn added.
Right after making it to the right vertex of the Mystri Stage, they encountered the executive Proton.
"I don't know you think you are," Dawn started.
"But you aren't going to stop us!" Ash finished.
"You heard them," May said. "Look at all of us here; you won't be able to hold back all of us!"
"That's right!" Max and Bonnie declared.
"Grr…" Proton started. "I'm getting very enraged right now and I'm not afraid to unleash it on all of you! Raticate, use Flame Wheel!"
"Quilava, block it with Flame Wheel!" Ash and Dawn commanded in unison.
While the Flame Wheels were colliding, May told something to the group.
"Hey guys," May said.
"What?" they all wondered.
"I'll handle Proton from here," May answered. "The priority is to find Giovanni and stop him, so I'll hold Proton off while you guys do so."
"I'll stay to you help you as well, May," Brock offered.
"Okay," May accepted.
"So I guess that means we'll have to use Smokescreen again," James stated.
"Then we should go behind that wall over there," Jessie said.
"By running as fast as we can!" Meowth added.
"Then we should run to the top vertex of the Mystri Stage," Ashlyn told them.
"And I bet that's where Giovanni is," Donovan concluded.
"Well, are we ready?" May asked.
"Ash, Dawn, did you get that?"
"Yeah," they both responded.
"The only ones staying here are me and Brock," May said to them all. "Everyone else will go behind that wall."
"We're ready," everyone else replied.
"Okay, go for it Ash and Dawn," May said.
"Quilava, use Smokescreen!" Ash and Dawn commanded.
With the thick smoke, the members of Team Pikachu quickly rushed behind a nearby wall. When the smoke finally cleared, Proton was angered by the fact that everyone escaped.
"Grr…you'll pay for this!" the maddened Proton yelled at May. "Raticate, use Flame Wheel on those two!"
"Look out May!" Brock pointed out.
"Don't worry; I can battle him all by myself!" May assured. "Wartortle, take the stage! Use Aqua Tail to slam Raticate!"
Even at blazing speed, the Flame Wheel could not stand to the deluging force of the Aqua Tail. The powerful attack slammed Raticate right into the cold, hard ground.
"I see how it is," Proton noticed, "using a water attack to counter my fire one."
"Use Hydro Pump while Raticate is still down!" May shouted.
"Not so fast!" Proton responded. "Sucker Punch!"
Before Wartortle could even begin to Hydro Pump, a furious fist slammed Wartortle's head at a blinding speed, causing it to fall down. Immediately after, Raticate was up on its toes again.
"Now use Quick Attack at max speed!" Proton commanded.
"Come on Wartortle!" May pleaded.
Raticate rushed at Wartortle with multiple fast attacks that delivered many blows to the shelled Pokemon. The speedy attacks were overwhelming!
"Now use Hyper Fang!" Proton continued.
"Wartortle, use Withdraw!" May quickly said. By retreating into its shell, Wartortle took minimal damage from the Hyper Fang. Raticate's fangs were still intact on the hard shell.
"Great work Wartortle!" May praised. "You've stopped Raticate's speed!"
"Grrrrr," Proton grumbled.
"Now use Hydro Pump!" May commanded.
"What?!" Proton said in shock. "But how?!"
The surging Hydro Pump pulverized Raticate from point-blank range right inside Raticate's mouth! There was no way Raticate could survive after such crushing power!
"Great," Brock commented, "Raticate is fainted!"
"Good work Wartortle," May commended.
"Why you…" Proton murmured angrily. "Return. Golbat, go and stop Wartortle!"
"Get ready Wartortle," May prepared.
"Use Shadow Ball!" Proton fiercely commanded.
"Block it using Withdraw!" May reacted. Wartortle retreated into its shell once again while easily taking the hit.
"Hehehe…I knew you would do that," Proton laughed.
"Uh-oh; he's got something in mind!" Brock noticed. "Watch out May!"
But it was too late; Proton swiftly made his move.
"Hahaha, use Gust!" Proton cackled.
"What?!" May screamed.
"That's right," Proton explained. "Gust forced your Wartortle out of its shell! Now use Poison Fang!"
"Oh no!" May cried. "Wartortle!"
"Finish it with Wing Attack!" Proton declared. Wartortle fell to the ground.
"Looks like Wartortle is unable to battle," Brock stated.
"Return," May said. "All right Glaceon, take the stage! Use Shadow Ball!"
"Show them your own Shadow Ball!" Proton raged. "Then use Wing Attack!"
"Use Ice Shard on Golbat's face when it gets close!" May said back.
Just like with Raticate, the Ice Shard slammed right inside Golbat's huge mouth. Golbat was knocked to the ground briefly.
"Now charge at it with Secret Power!" May shouted.
"Grr," Proton grumbled, "dodge it by flying up!" Golbat barely avoided the Secret Power and could have been frozen because of the snowy terrain changing Secret Power's effects.
"Glaceon let its guard down!" Proton pointed out. "Use Shadow Ball, rapid-fire!"
"I wouldn't be so sure," Brock corrected Proton.
"Glaceon," May responded, "use Mirror Coat!"
"Are you kidding me?!" Proton yelled furiously. The many Shadow Ball attacks were fired only to be reflected back at Golbat, and Golbat could not take the reflected attacks very well.
"Finish it off with Ice Shard!" May declared. Golbat fainted from the super-effective ball of ice.
"Return Golbat," Proton said enraged, "Go Crobat! Crobat is my strongest Pokemon so there's no way you're going to win! It's become even stronger and faster since the Ice Path!"
"Is that so?" May replied. "Return, Glaceon. Let me show you one of my strongest Pokemon as well! Venusaur, take the stage!"
"Let's see how you handle this! Use Sludge Bomb!" Proton roared. "No one has ever been able to handle Crobat's Sludge Bomb without getting trapped! Prepare to be imprisoned in severe poison!"
"Oh I'll handle this all right!" May retorted. "Venusaur, Mega Evolve and use Sludge Bomb back!"
After the two Sludge Bombs collided, Proton laughed. "Hahaha, is this a joke? You think Mega Evolution can stop me?"
May looked up at flying Crobat and was determined to win. "This is a joke? We will win because Mega evolution is unmatchable power! Right Brock?"
"Hmm…." Brock wondered.
"Just you watch," Proton smirked. "Crobat, use Multi-Sludge Bomb!"
"Multi-Sludge Bomb?!" said in a terrified state.
The swift Crobat multiplied at a breakneck pace and started dashing rapidly around the air at a blinding speed!
"I can't tell which one is the real one!" May cried. Her eyes were flickering at the sight!
"There's too many Crobat and they're all moving so fast!" Brock shouted.
"Do it!" Proton roared.
Volleys of Sludge Bomb from all directions bombarded the slower Mega Venusaur with an overpowering force! Each of the 20 clones fired at rates of up to three projectiles a second! It would take a large-scale move or dodge to counter the projectile barrage Crobat had unleashed!
"Mega Venusaur, use Petal Blizzard!" May quickly reacted desperately.
The equally powerful and huge Petal Blizzard ripped through the Sludge Bomb, also in all directions. But the only thing Petal Blizzard did was merely block the overwhelming attack.
"Too slow!" Proton declared. "Use Multi-Brave Bird!"
After multiplying into 20 once again, the Crobat darted towards Venusaur at a speed that pierced the air! Crobat's sharp Brave Bird attack sliced Venusaur's many leaves into shreds as Venusaur got pummeled from every direction.
"Oh no, Venusaur!" May cried. "Try grabbing the incoming Crobat with Vine Whip!"
Venusaur tried and tried, but it could never catch Crobat with its tremendous natural speed. Mega Venusaur continued getting brutally damaged and was only surviving because of its natural bulk.
"What did I tell you?!" Proton roared. "Just because you have a Mega Evolution doesn't mean you're going to win! Use Multi-Cross Poison!"
"Oh no!" May cried.
"You've got to do something about this, May!" Brock warned.
Mega Venusaur took hit after hit, and it looked like Mega Venusaur was getting hit 20 times each second! Only this time, Mega Venusaur would have fainted if it weren't for May saving it.
"Return, Mega Venusaur!" May desperately said. The Crobat abruptly stopped their fast attacking.
"So, your so-called Mega Evolution has lost," Proton stated.
"You may have won the battle, but you haven't won the war," May replied. "I too have a Pokemon that can fly, and I'm sure it can defeat your Crobat! Beautifly, take the stage!"
"Bea-utifly!" Beautifly chirped.
"Now you think a Beautifly can stop Crobat?" Proton boasted. "My Crobat is naturally stronger and twice as fast! There's no way a weak butterfly Pokemon can win!"
"I wouldn't be so sure," Brock replied.
"That's right," May agreed, "Let's show them!"
"It's a sky battle with both Pokemon in the air now," Brock reminded May. "This should be much easier."
"Got it," May said back. "Let's do this Beautifly!"
"I've had enough of this," Proton started. "Crobat, use Double Team!" Once again, Crobat rapidly multiplied while increasing its speed. "How are you going to stop this?"
"Like this!" May exclaimed. "Use Silver Wind all around you!"
"What?!" Proton gasped. The Silver Wind swept the entire air around it, knocking out all of the clones surrounding Beautifly. The only Crobat left was the real one.
"Now use Psychic on Crobat!" May commanded.
Fazed by losing its Double Team, Crobat took the Psychic attack and was slammed to the cold stone floor by the super-effective attack. However, Crobat would not let back down.
"Crobat, use Cross Poison!" Proton demanded.
"Stop it with Psychic!" May yelled back. Crobat was now suspended in mid-air.
"Grr…use Double Team to get free!" Proton said angrily. "Then use Multi-Brave Bird!"
"Fly up and away from it, Beautifly!" May directed. Beautifly was able to get Crobat higher and higher up into the air.
"I wonder what she's up to…" Brock pondered.
"Keep on attacking!" Proton demanded. "Multi-Brave Bird, Multi-Brave Bird, Multi-Brave Bird!"
"Now!" May yelled. "Dive straight down using Aerial Ace!"
After working so hard to catch up to Beautifly upwards, Crobat was left in the dust and now had to dive down to catch the butterfly.
"Dive down and follow it at max speed!" Proton yelled. Since the Crobat were much faster than Beautifly, it wouldn't take long before they caught up!
"Oh no!" Brock noticed. "They're going to catch up!"
"Finish it with Multi-Brave Bird!" Proton cackled.
The two Pokemon were both rushing at an incredible speed and were diving straight down head first in a way completely perpendicular to the ground. As soon as Beautifly reached the ground before Crobat, May made a decisive move.
"Beautifly, use Psychic on all of the Crobat and slam them down with their own momentum!"
"No!" Proton gasped. "I didn't see that coming!"
Crobat's natural speed and it's even faster Brave Bird made for a devastating attack that would have instantly knocked out Beautifly. Fortunately, Beautifly used sheer momentum that to its advantage to utterly smash Crobat into the ground with an unbelievable force! The impact was so tremendous that the rest of Team Pikachu briefly looked back to see what had shaken the ground so hard! Crobat's crash even created a crater that was 13 feet in diameter! Needless to say, Crobat was entirely defeated.
"We did it!" May exclaimed with her Beautifly. "It's all thanks to you, Beautifly!"
"Looks like the harder they hit, the harder they fall," Brock commented.
"Return Crobat," Proton snarled, taking out a device. "Guess I'll have to use brute force to stop these no-good kids, hehe. That'll teach them not to mess with me!"
"Oh no you don't !" May said back. "Venusaur, tie Proton up using Vine Whip!" The Vine Whip tied Proton up and Venusaur cut the vine from its body to make sure Proton stayed put.
"Curse you foul woman!" Proton bawled. "Curse you!"
"Urgh….don't you talk to me like that!" May screeched. "Take this!"
May smacked Proton with the red rose covered in thorns, severely slashing him. She then briefly shoved the rose up Proton's nose in order to give him allergies. May and Brock then left and walked away to catch up to the others.
"Curse you woman!" Proton growled with scars on his face. "What's with the red rose anyway? Are you in lo….ou….ugh…..ugh…..ughACHHOO!"
"Don't you think that was a little too much, May?" Brock asked.
"Hmph," May responded in anger. "I only did it because he deserved it!"
"You already won the battle," Brock advised, "so maybe he didn't need further harshness."
"I guess you're right," May sighed. "I just can't get over how mad he made me when he called me a foul woman…"
Ash, Donovan, Dawn, Ashlyn, Jessie, James, Meowth, Max, and Bonnie continued their way to the top vertex of the Mystri Stage where Giovanni was located. Along the way, they found some opportunities to attack the legendary Pokemon, but it did no good to stop them.
"We don't have that much time," Donovan told the rest of Team Pikachu, "so let's move!"
"Right," they all said in agreement.
So they continued on to Giovanni, but only to be stopped by two figures standing in their way….
Will Team Pikachu be able to stop the remaining members of Team Rocket? Can Giovanni's plan be stopped before it is too late? And most importantly, will our heroes ever save Ash's Pikachu? Find out on the next chapter of Saving Pikachu!
"Hey guys," Iris and Cilan said, running to Misty, Tracey, and Clemont.
"Hi," Clemont said.
"How's it going?" Misty said.
"Were you guys able to take care of business on the left side of the Mystri Stage?" Tracey inquired.
"We sure did!" Cilan responded.
"Ariana and Atlas are sound asleep!" Iris told them.
"Same here," Clemont replied, "Petrel is asleep as well."
"Right now we need to catch up to the rest of Team Pikachu," Misty said.
"So let's run!" Tracey told them all.
"Right," they all agreed while running off. Clemont's bag was slightly lighter after his invention was destroyed, making it easier for him to run as well.
To be continued…
