Jack and Pikachu are inside Turtle Fortress, getting ready to fight against the Squirtle Squad and win the battle. The only problem is that the Squirtle Squad had set up some fiends around the place to slow down Jack and Pikachu's trail. The place won't be easy with obstacles in the way, and they'll have to defeat these fiends to become stronger.
On their right side, there's a door, and on their left is the stairs. Jack goes up to the door, and tries to open it.
"Dang, no luck." Said Jack, trying to open it.
"Maybe we should try the stairs?" Ask Pikachu. Jack walks up the stairs, and saw fiends coming at Jack and Pikachu. "Here they come!"
Jack pulled out two Poké balls, his sword, and his shield. He throws two Poké balls shouted, "Poké ball, go!" Two Pokémon came out of their Poké balls; one Pokémon looks like a duck with a bad headache, and the other looks like a version of a monkey with a pig nose. Pikachu continues to join the battle, and they encounter four Goblins.
"Mankey! They're all yours!" Jack shouted, "Go!"
Mankey, the pig monkey, charges at the first Goblin, and Scratches. The first Goblin falls to the ground with a scream.
"Pikachu?" Ask Jack, and Pikachu begins to attack.
"I got it!" Pikachu shouted, using Thundershock on the second Goblin. The second Goblin is electrocuted, and there's only two left.
"Gotcha!" Jack shouted, charging at the third Goblin, "Ha! Fra! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! He slashes the third Goblin, and then the Goblin falls. "Alright!"
Psyduck was just thinking, and only attacks the last Goblin with Scratch. Now the Goblin is defeated, and there are no more Goblins. Jack and his Pokémon won the battle. Jack has picked up twenty Gils from the ground, and returned both Psyduck and Mankey back into their Poké balls.
"Now that was a fresh start." Said Jack.
"Let's just consider it our warm-up." Said Pikachu. They continue through the halls, and found more Goblins coming. "What? There's more?"
"Get ready." Said Jack, prepared. Two Goblins spotted Jack and Pikachu, and they're prepared to fight. "I summon!" He shouted, throwing two Poké balls in the air. Psyduck and Mankey came out of their Poké balls, prepared to fight.
Mankey charges at the first Goblin, and Scratches him. The first Goblin is down, and now there's the second Goblin.
"Yeah!" Pikachu shouted, charging energy. He collects so much electricity, and blasts the last Goblin with Thundershock. The second Goblin becomes electrocuted, and falls to the ground. Jack and his Pokémon won the battle. Jack picked up ten Gils on the ground.
"I don't know what's going on though." Said Jack, "But something tells me that these Squirtle Squad are annoying, hiring Goblins to do their work.
"Let's just hurry, and get this over with." Said Pikachu. Jack return Psyduck and Mankey back into their Poké balls, and opened the door. They enter the next room, kind of like a pool area. Jack and Pikachu are on land, and across is the some kind of stair that leads to the next room on their right. The only problem is that when it's on the other side, there's water.
Jack and Pikachu look down on the water, and it seems that the water is pretty deep to swim. He did have problems swimming deep water, but he'll have to swim on shallow water.
"I agree with you, one hundred percent." Said Pikachu. "I think we'll swim on shallow water."
Jack walked down stairs on his left, and swims only in shallow water. It feels a little cold, but swimming in deep water is colder. When Jack swims, Pikachu stays on his back. They pass through the shallow water, passed the deep water, and climb up the stairs.
"Made it." Said Jack, "Now let's see where this leads." He opens the double door, and both Jack and Pikachu enter inside the next room.
Jack and Pikachu came across even more body of water. There was a staircase going to where the Squirtle Squad led. Jack climbs up the stairs, catching up to the turtles. When he came to a wall, Jack goes right, but stops and hides behind the wall. Pikachu was continuing walking, but when he passes the wall, Jack grabs Pikachu, and Pikachu was pulled behind the wall.
"Pikachu, the Squirtle Squad is behind this wall." Jack whispered. Jack and Pikachu take a peek at the Squirtle Squad.
Five blue turtles were on the other side, going through the double doors. Jack and Pikachu were too late to catch up.
"Dang!" Said Pikachu, "So close."
Jack looks at the weird object standing between the two platforms. It looks like what looked by platforms that could spin around. On each of the balcony, there are these spinning wheels that could spin the object and the platforms to reach to the other side.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Ask Jack.
"What?" Ask Pikachu, confused.
"If we could use this machina to get to the other side," Jack said, "Then we'll catch them blue handed."
Pikachu looks at Jack, and said unsure, "Uh, Jack. Don't you mean, 'red handed'?"
"Sorry." Said Jack, apologizing, "I am a horrible jester. Right, let's do it." Jack walks up to the wheel, putting both hands on the wheel. "Just jump on the platform, and turn the wheel on the other side."
"Alright." Said Pikachu, getting on the platform. "Try not to kill me. I'm like you, remember?"
"Just hold on." Jack begins to turn the wheel in clock wise, turning the platform around and around. When the platform made Pikachu to the other side, Pikachu jumped on the other balcony, and walk up to the wheel. "Okay, my turn."
Jack gets away from the wheel, and jumps on the platform.
"Just take it steady!"
"Okay!" Pikachu called. He gets on the wheels, but with Jack on the platform, he spins the wheel way to fast! And if the wheel is becoming too fast, the machina with Jack on the platform, the machina spin way too fast, and Jack is hanging on tight.
"!" Jack yelled, holding on to the platform with both hands. "PIKACHU! SLOW DOWN!"
"Sorry!" Pikachu shouted, trying to stop the wheels. But the wheel is too fast, and all Pikachu had are his bitty little fingers to try and grab the wheel.
"HEEEEEEELLLPPP!"
"I got it!" Pikachu shouted, thinking with a light bulb on his head. Pikachu then charges electricity, and then uses Thundershock on the wheel. And when the wheel was shock, it connects straight to those spinning platforms, and stopped. Jack was sent flying to where Pikachu is, but towards the wall.
"OUCH!" Jack squirm. That had to hurt, getting slam on the wall.
"Jack?" Ask Pikachu, looking at Jack. "Are you all right?"
And then Jack replied to his squash voice, "…That depends."
"Good enough."
Jack finally came down, shaking it off. "Right. Let's go inside and saw 'hello' to the Squirtle Squad." Jack and Pikachu peek through the small hole from the door. Inside the next room, five Squirtle Squads are sleeping. Jack and Pikachu burst through the door, and then shouted, together…
"BUSTED!"
The Squirtle Squads are shocked, waking up very fast. They turned around, and saw both Jack and Pikachu.
"Your crime days are over, mutant turtles!" Said Jack, "It's time to turn yourselves in."
"Squirtle, Squirtle, Squirtle!" Said the Squirtle Squad leader. Jack was confused.
"Wait, I didn't catch that."
Pikachu translated, "He said, 'what do you pest want now?' That's what he said."
"We want to know why you have that badge?" Ask Jack, talking to the Squirtle Squad, and they were surprised. "Hand over the badge, and we'll go easy on you!" The Squirtle Squad are laughing, thinking it's funny. "Something I just said?"
The Squirtle Squad looks at Jack, and replied, "Squirtle, Squirtle, Squirtle, Squirtle?"
"They said, 'why would you want the badge, human?'" Pikachu translated.
"Squirtle, Squirtle, Squirt. Squirtle, Squirtle, Squirtle!" Said the Squirtle Squad leader.
"How could you touch us? We are invincible." Pikachu translated.
"Coming from some Pokémon with a big mouth like yours!" Said Jack, pulling out his sword and shield. "Try defeating me and my Pokémon!"
The Squirtle Squad was shocked, seeing the sword. With fear on their side, they cowardly move against the wall.
"Well?" Ask Jack, "Are you going to give it to us or not?"
They huddle up, and the leader replied, "Squirtle, Squirtle."
"Alright, you win." Pikachu translated. Jack was confused.
"Eh?"
"Squirtle, Squirtle, Squirt." Said the leader, "Squirtle, Squirtle." The leader points at their left, and there stood is a lever. Jack and Pikachu look at their right and saw the yellow lever.
"Wow. That was easy." Said Jack. Jack and Pikachu walk up to the lever, and Jack rubs his hands a little. "This is going to be easy. I'll just reach out with my hands, pull the lever the other way, and then…" Jack clutches the lever, and moves it right. "There."
The lever is now switched, and by the sound of a voice, Jack and Pikachu felt like they're light. They both notice something wrong, and Pikachu looks at Jack, guessing.
"Trapdoor?" Ask Pikachu.
"Yep." Jack replied.
"I hate this place!" Pikachu shouted, and both Jack and Pikachu feel through the trapdoor. The Squirtle Squad is now chuckling with laughter.
All the way down through the hole, and Jack and his Pikachu are trapped in a different room. This room is big, but there are no doors and no windows to escape through. They're just like trapped rats in a mouse cage. Jack was thinking, tapping his feet a little, and Pikachu was looking up at the ceiling.
"…So, what do we do?" Ask Jack, "Wait here until death claims us both?"
"I don't know." Pikachu replied. "I mean we're stuck here. We couldn't get out of here, and I really betcha that Jena is too busy, playing Pokémon." Pikachu started to act like her, "I mean, really. She couldn't even defend herself, but only act like a coward a lot. Look at me, I'm Jena Aunti, and I want to be a Pokémon Trainer."
"Pikachu, I don't think Jena would like that if she saw you do that."
"So what? They couldn't see us, because we're stuck here." Pikachu said, angry. "And there's your cousin, Joey." Now he pretends to act like him in a deep voice, "Whatever, this is really a drag."
"That's cousin alright. You make a good expression for Jena and Joey." Jack said, smiling. "Can you do anything else?"
"Wait! What this one!" Said Pikachu, moving his body around. He tries to do the expression of Bulbasaur. "Bulbasaur."
"That's impressive! Check this out!" Jack starts to do the funniest expression, pulling out a mask, and looking like a ninja. "Students." He said in a deep voice, "Let us begin our training." Pikachu starts to laugh very loud. "No wait! Watch this!" Now Jack starts to put something on his back like a shield, and putting flowers on it, saying in a deep voice, "Venusaur!"
Pikachu continues to laugh very loud, loving what Jack does. "Jack! That was the best!" Pikachu said, laughing, "Where did you come up with this stuff?"
"I was about to ask you the same question." Said Jack, and he imitates like his teacher a long time, "No student of my will act like a buffoon."
"Oh, but daddy!" Said Pikachu, doing Jena's expression.
"No buts, young lady." Said Jack, still doing his teacher's expression. "No daughter of mines will marry a buffoon like that. Now go pack your things and blah, blah, blah."
It seems that both Jack and Pikachu are having fun, doing their friends own expression. As soon as the hole of the ceiling opens, Pikachu up and said, "Lunch time!" A bowl that looks like weird pudding fell from the ceiling. Pikachu catches it, and picks up the spoon.
"Pikachu! Wait!" Jack shouted, stopping Pikachu. Pikachu had the food on the spoon, and for their surprise, the spoon started to burn up.
"I couldn't help myself." Said Pikachu, scared, "No spoon."
"Maybe they're trying to get rid of us." Said Jack, "They must have witness us for seeing the Squirtle Squad using that weird badge. We've got to get out of here?"
"We could stare at a crack wall."
"Crack Wall?" Ask Jack, and when Pikachu saw the crack, they look at it. Jack laughs, "Who in the right mind would put a big crack on the wall?"
"Maybe someone like the Squirtle Squad? And a treasure chest?"
"Treasure chest?" Ask Jack, and both Jack and Pikachu looked at the other side of the corner. There, standing in the corner looks like a golden treasure chest. Jack and Pikachu walk up to the treasure chest, and know who's doing this. "Thank you, Empire. We could always use your help."
Jack opens the treasure chest, and reaches through. He pulled out something, and what shows is some kind of a "Bomb Bag".
"A bomb bag," Pikachu said, "And some cards of bombs?" Pikachu jumped inside the treasure chest, and saw twenty cards of bombs. "Who ever knew the Empire could trust us like this?"
"Are you ready to save the world again?" Ask Jack, equipped with the bomb bag, "Looks like we owe the Empire for giving us these things. We could get out of here."
"Hurray for the Empire!" Pikachu cheered, and Jack shushed Pikachu. Pikachu shut his mouth and whispered, "Oh. Hurray for the Empire."
Jack walks to the crack, and thinks. "Now how do we do this?" He pulls out a bomb card, and by a surprised, it transformed into a bomb that fast. Jack and Pikachu were surprised and shocked. "AGH!"
"EEP!" Pikachu shrieked, "Jack! The bomb went off! Do something!"
Jack throws the bomb at the cracked wall, and both Jack and his Pikachu moved away from the bomb to take cover towards the corner. "YIKES!"
BOMB! The bomb exploded, and there was a secret passageway. They have a look, and saw the passageway to make their escape.
"Now that was a 'Ka-Boom'." Said Pikachu.
"Alright, now we're talking." Said Jack. He looks at the passageway, "Looks like the bomb actually came in handy. I wonder if it works on the Squirtle Squad?"
"We'll never know unless we find out." Said Pikachu. Jack and Pikachu go through the hole, and found a hallway of shallow water. "Not again."
"I guess we'll have to swim to the other side." Said Jack, and he gets in the body of water. With Pikachu on Jack's back, Jack swims across the shallow water, and come to a ledge of the ground. "Made it."
"Now what?" Ask Pikachu. Jack climbs up the ledge, out of the water, and shook the water off his body. "Sheesh!" Said Pikachu, shaking water off his fur. "I wonder where you learn to shake the water off?"
"Well, my cousin is part of the Inu family." Said Jack. "I'm just a half-breed. Let's get moving." Jack opened the double door, and enters back in the same room.
"Hey!" Said Pikachu, looking around. "Isn't this the same room where we came from?"
On their left, is the same door they came from, and up ahead is the stairs. They continue to go up the stairs, and follow their same route they came from before. Jack and Pikachu return back to the same room as before; the big pool, the same one with shallow water and deep water.
"Now what?" Ask Pikachu.
"Here we go again." Said Jack, getting in the water. "How does my cousin stand cold and colder water?"
"I don't know." Pikachu replied, getting on Jack's back. "Just keep swimming."
Jack continues to swim through shallow water, and then found another ledge. They look over the ledge, and saw a crack on the wall. "You ready to make some noise?" Ask Jack.
"You bet." Pikachu replied. Jack climbs up the ledge, and places a bomb near the crack wall. It was fused again. Pikachu felt something wrong, "This can't be good." Both Jack and Pikachu jumped back into the water when the bomb was set to fuse. BOOM! The bomb exploded, and there was the secret passage again. Jack and Pikachu came back to the surface.
"Gasp! That was close." Said Jack, getting some air.
"This place is too much." Said Pikachu, getting some air. "Let's just hurry up and get out of here." Jack continues to climb up the ledge, and follow the passageway. They're inside a new room; on their right is the stair way up to the top. They were heading up, but then popping out from the top are four Goblins. "Agh! It's the fiends again!"
"Pikachu, stay out of this!" Jack said, "Lead this to me and the rest of my Pokémon!"
"Wait, what?" Ask Pikachu.
Jack pulled out three Poké balls, and shouted, throwing them, "Poké Ball, Go!" Three Poké balls were thrown, and summoned out three Pokémon. One Pokémon had a green bulb on its back, the second is a yellow duck with a bad headache, and the third is the pig monkey. "Let's go!" He pulled out his Sword and Shield, and prepared to fight.
Mankey, the pig monkey Pokémon, charges at the first Goblin and then Scratches him. The first Goblin falls to the ground.
"Here I go!" Jack shouted, attacking the second Goblin. "Hu! Ho! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! The second Goblin is sliced, and falls to the ground, defeated. "Alright!"
"Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur shouted, charging towards the third Goblin. POW! That sends the Goblin away, and hurled towards the wall.
"That's gotta hurt." Said Pikachu. "Nice work, Bulbasaur!"
Psyduck doesn't have a clue what's he doing. "Psyduck, make yourself useful and use Scratch." Psyduck went up to the last Goblin, and use Scratch. The last Goblin is defeated by a headache duck, and falls to the ground. Jack and his Pokémon won the battle. Jack is becoming strong.
"That was new!" Said Pikachu, "What's up with those fiends anyway?"
"I don't know." Jack replied, picking up twenty Gils from the ground. "But something tells me these Squirtle Squad don't place nice. They do want to get rid of us."
"Well, that explains why we're here." Said Pikachu.
"Let's get moving." Said Jack, and pulled out their Poké balls and said, "Return, guys. You will need some rest for the next battle."
But it's too late, because five more Goblins appeared. Pikachu was surprised.
"Agh! Those don't know when to quite!"
"Bulbasaur, Mankey, I'll let you two remain out." Said Jack, and he returns Psyduck. "Return, Psyduck." A red beam shot out of the Poké ball hits Psyduck's body, and return him back into his Poké ball. Now Jack switch Poké balls, and throws one, "Growlithe! I summon you!"
The red Poké ball opened a red flash, and summons a red puppy.
"Here we go again." Said Jack, prepared to fight. "Let's go!"
"Growlithe!" Said Growlithe.
"You want to go first?" Ask Jack, looking at his Pokémon, and his red puppy nod. "Then take your first shot!"
Growlithe charges at the first Goblin, and then bites the Goblin to pieces. Crunch! The first Goblin is down, and there's only four left.
"Mankey!" Jack commanded, and his pig monkey performs a scratch attack, and the third Goblin goes down. "Bulbasaur! Go!"
"Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur charges at the last Goblin, and hits him hard.
"Now it's my turn." Said Jack. He charges at the third one, and then attacks, "Ha! Fra! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! The third Goblin is down, and there's only two Goblins left. The first Goblins goes after Bulbasaur with Goblin's Punch. Pow!
"Bulba!" Bulbasaur yelled. Next, the fifth Goblin uses the same thing to punch Mankey. Pow!
"Mankey!" That had to hurt! Lucky both Bulbasaur and Mankey are still standing.
Growlithe charges at the fifth goblin, and bites him. Crunch! The fifth Goblin is defeated, and falls in defeat.
"Go!" Jack commanded, "Finish that last one!"
Mankey charges at the last Goblin, and scratches him. The last Goblin is defeated falls to the ground. Jack and his Pokémon won the battle. Bulbasaur and Mankey are growing strong. Mankey finally learns Low Kick. Jack picked up twenty-five Gils from the ground, and return his Pokémon back into their Poké balls.
"That was a close one." Said Pikachu.
"I'm sorry, Pikachu." Said Jack, apologizing, "Do you want to be in the battle?"
Pikachu just thinks about it, and replies, "Uh, okay. I'll go with it."
They continue their way up the stairs, and go left to enter another double door.
"Hold on, Jack." Said Pikachu, telling Jack. "I think we're forgetting something."
"What?" Ask Jack, and he asks, "Our Pokémon needed healing?"
"Well, there's that." Said Pikachu, "But not really. I mean, what will happen if one of us…you know…becomes knocked out?" Jack was surprised to hear what Pikachu asks, "I mean, if you become knocked out. Then what will happen to us? Or what will happen if your entire Pokémon, including me became lights out?"
Jack looks at Pikachu, and pets his head. "Don't worry, buddy. There's no way a bunch of fiends and those enemies will break all of us down. It would take an army of fiends to break the wall of friendship down. We'll stand strong no matter how dangerous it gets." Pikachu climbs back on Jack's right shoulder, and Jack continues the trail.
