Outside of the village, Jack and Pikachu find some Camerupt, and ride through the desert sand. Around the whole sand, Jack and Pikachu wear some cloth just to make sure the sun doesn't get to them. But finding the Spirit Tower won't be easy, until then a sandstorm came by. Jack and Pikachu stopped the Camerupt on its tracks, looked up, and then saw a very huge tower.
"…Wow." Said Pikachu, amazed, "This is the 'Spirit Temple'?"
"Looks like it." Jack replied. He and his Pikachu get off of the Camerupt, and let it go. "Okay, you can go home. We'll be fine on our own." The Camerupt then walks through the desert sandstorm, and leaves Jack and Pikachu to the Spirit Tower.
Jack and Pikachu through the arch of the Spirit Temple, and end up in a very tall room, all the way down below of the first floor. Pikachu looks up, and Jack could see an entrance of the Spirit Temple. Way up to the top, there is an entrance to the next room, but there are platforms all over the place just to get up to the Spirit Temple.
"Jack, are you sure this is the way to the Spirit Temple?" Ask Pikachu, scared, "It up there."
"Of course." Jack said, "And we're down here." Jack looks ahead, and jumps on the first platform. It seems that the platform is able to float like magic. Jack then jumps on the next platform, and Pikachu follows Jack by jumping on to the first platform. "It would take a while to get up there."
Pikachu jumps on the second platform, and jumps on Jack's right shoulder. He asks, "Maybe an 'hour?'"
Jack then finally jumps on the last platform, and Pikachu was able to hang on. Jack goes to his right, and climbs up the stairs. The platforms won't easy, because sometimes the platform will not only move, but also actually drop straight to the ground if Jack jumps on the next platform. Finally, Jack reached to the second floor.
"How long are these floor?" Ask Jack, exhausted and looking up, "I'm almost getting tired of running."
"Why, then we don't have a challenge." Pikachu replied, "Are you sure you could make it, Jack?"
"I will." Jack replied, moving on, "Is there anything else that could get worse?" He looks at the platforms, and they stood still like some kind of bridge. "I guess not." Jack walks on the bridge, keeping his balance, when suddenly, Jack and Pikachu felt a rumble.
"Did you feel something?" Ask Pikachu. Jack and Pikachu looked behind. They just saw the first platform behind the platform they're standing on, fall all the way. Jack and Pikachu looked at each other, and underneath Jack's foot, Jack dashed off through the bridge and turns his left to climb up stairs. It seems the bridge fell all the way down.
"Well, there goes our exit." Said Jack, nervous, and looking down, "A booby trap just to drop us all the way down." He continues to climb up the stairs as Pikachu stays on Jack's right shoulder. Jack and Pikachu came to the third floor; this time, the three platforms for getting across are moving around from left to right. "And I thought these dungeons are getting weirder and weirder, but this is mad."
Jack waits for the first platform, and jumps on it. Pikachu manages to hang on, and stays on until Jack gets to the other side. But the problem is that the platforms still move from left to right, and Jack has to time his jump right.
Next, Jack sees an equal link, and jumps a gap to the second platform. Jack waits for the third one, and jumps a gap. Whoops! "Oh-no." Jack said, and he slipped by accident, and falls. "AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Jack pulls out his pok'e ball, throws it to the second platform and shouted, "Bulbasaur!"
A very small green like pok'emon with a bud on its back, release a vine whip, and grabs Jack by the wrist. Pikachu hangs on, and Bulbasaur pulls both Jack and Pikachu back on the second platform.
"Thanks, Bulbasaur." Said Jack.
"Bulbasaur." Said Bulbasaur.
"I guess these obstacles could get harder." Said Jack, thinking, "I just hope we all don't fall all the way down." All three look down, and oh my, it must be a big drop to the floor. "Whoever made this Spirit Temple sure learn how to get rid of intruders, and this is just the beginning."
Jack takes his Bulbasaur, and times his jump. When it came to a link, Jack jumps over the gap, and lands on the third platform. Finally, he reached for the other side, walks to the right, and climbs up the stairs, getting to the floor.
"Bulbasaur." Said Jack's Bulbasaur.
"I know," Jack said, looking up, "This dungeons gets harder and harder ever time we get closer." All three finally reach to the fourth floor, and found the platforms are going up and down. "Another one? They sure know how to have some fun."
But it seems that the platforms going up and down seems to be a passage to get to the entrance. Jack will have to time his right, jumping on each platform to get to the entrance on the fifth floor.
"Something tells me this is a little worse from the hideout the Squirtle Squad built." Said Jack, "Now this had to happen. Oh well; no use turning back." Jack waits for the platform to go down, and the platform moves down.
First, Jack holds his Bulbasaur, and jumps on the platform. Pikachu is still hanging on, as Jack waits for the second platform to come down. The first platform moves up, and the second comes down like a link. Jack jumps over a gap, and lands on the second platform.
When the third platform comes down, and the second platform goes up, there was a link, and Jack jumps over the gap. He landed on the third platform, and jumps to reach to he entrance.
Jack, Pikachu, and Bulbasaur are now inside the temple, looking around the room. Inside the room, everything light up because there are torches on the ceiling, and it seems there is something on the wall that reads some weird symbols.
Pikachu said, "Jack, what's this?"
Jack and Bulbasaur walk up to the symbols on the wall, and Jack replies, "Of course. 'Hieroglyphics!'"
"Hiero-what?" Ask Pikachu.
Jack looks at his Pikachu said, "You know, Hieroglyphics. The same one Yami," But he covered his mouth with a smile, "Whoops. I mean, 'Atem', has at his palace. He still has it at his palace."
Pikachu was surprised and said, "Oh! So what does it say on the wall?" Pikachu came to the wall, and looks at the symbols.
"Well, let's look." Said Jack, and he reads, "Beware of those who disturb my sleep. I have been sleeping in the Spirit Temple for Millennium years." "That's what it said."
"Oh well, I guess we'll go back." Said Pikachu, trying to walk away. But Jack stops Pikachu.
"Pikachu, hold on!" Jack called, and Pikachu stopped in its tracks.
Pikachu looks at his owner and said, "But Jack, we don't have much experience of fighting of who's responsible of stealing Yami's powers. Can't we go back? There's no shame to run away from battle."
"Wrong." Jack said, "There is shame for running and cowering away, and that's dishonorable. A true Pok'emon Warrior never goes back on a challenge no matter what the battle might be. Now let's go and take down the villain ourselves."
"Bulbasaur!" Said Bulbasaur, pointing at the door. Jack pulls out his pok'e ball, and returns Bulbasaur back.
"Return Bulbasaur, you're going to need some rest." Said Jack; the pok'e ball shot out a red beam, touches Bulbasaur, and Bulbasaur has returned back into its pok'e ball. Jack puts the pok'e ball, and walked through the door with his Pikachu.
Jack and Pikachu into a next room, but it seems the room is like an X room, picking from three doors. They must pick either to go left, right, or straight. Jack and Pikachu stand in the middle, but think.
"So now what?" Ask Pikachu, worried.
"I guess we'll go left." Jack replied, but then, when all of the sudden; there was an ambush! "Agh! Not you guys again!" Four black shadows wearing Egyptian clothes with Scimitar swords appear from the ground, and attack. "Don't we ever get a break around here?"
"Jack, you better summon you other pok'emon, now!" Pikachu said, worried.
Jack pulled out two of his pok'e balls, "Okay." He throws the pok'e balls in the air and shouted, "Come on out! Psyduck! Growlithe!"
When two pok'e balls opened up, one releases a yellow duck pok'emon with a bad headache, and the other release a small red puppy with the ability to blow out fire. All four get into their battle position, and fight against the bandits.
"Pikachu, why don't you use your Thundershock on the first thug?" Ask Jack.
"Great idea." Said Pikachu, and he charges up. Pikachu can feel the sparks on its red cheeks, and then shocks the first bandit. "PIKACHU! A yellow spark electrocutes the first bandit. It seems that the bandit can't defeat against magic attacks that easy. But it's still standing.
"Growlithe! Use your Ember attack!" Jack commanded. His red puppy inhales the air, and then blows small flames at the first bandit. The first bandit is burned and flamed. It still can't dodge against a Pok'emon's special attack, but it's still standing.
"I just hope this works." Jack thought, and he pulls out a summoning card and shouted, "Now! Sorceress of the Elements! I summon you in battle!" A figure wearing a purple suit with a cane appears. "Go!" The figure uses some kind of black magic against the fiends, and it does very much damage to the bandits. In fact, one of the bandits then buries itself back to the ground. The Pok'emon were surprised.
Next, Psyduck went up to the second bandit, and uses its scratch attack. It seems that it has a powerful defense, and blocks Psyduck's attack. Jack covered his face, feeling he's embarrassed.
"Ugh! Where did I go wrong?" Ask Jack.
It seems the bandits aren't happen when one of their members were killed, and attacks the others. The second bandit goes after Jack, and attack. Slash! "Agh!" Next, the third bandit attacks Jack with its Scimitar. "Ugh!" And finally, the last bandit attacks Jack with its scimitar. "Dugh!" It was lucky Jack was able to stand.
"No one attacks my friend and gets away with it!" Pikachu said, charging up electricity. Pikachu then releases a Thundershock at the second bandit. The bandit then buried itself to the ground. There are two remaining.
Growlithe inhale its breath wide, and then blows out a small flame at the third bandit. The bandit was so burned; it buried itself to the ground.
Jack goes up to the last bandit, and attacks. "This is for attacking me!" He attacks with four swings of his sword. "Ha! Fra! Hu! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! The last bandit was defeated and buried itself into the floor.
Jack, Pikachu, Growlithe, and Psyduck won the battle. Jack is getting strong. They have found a potion on the ground, and earn 50 Gils. Jack pulls out his pok'e balls, and return both Psyduck and Growlithe back into their pok'e balls.
"Return guys, you did great." Said Jack, and both Growlithe and Psyduck were touched by the beam, and return back into their pok'e balls. Jack puts the pok'e balls away.
"Now what?" Ask Pikachu, "We can't keep this up forever."
"We'll for one," Jack said, "When we defeat the fiends, they'll drop some potions, and we'll take it."
"So we can use potions to restore ourselves?" Ask Pikachu, "These dungeons can be very dangerous."
"Then let's go left and fast." Said Jack, and then both Jack and Pikachu go left and enter the next room. Inside the new room, it looks a little small, but there seems to be small little shadows flying around. Jack and Pikachu were staring at them, like they must have seen a Pidgey flown by.
"Jack…" Said Pikachu.
"Yes?" Ask Jack.
"What are they?"
"No idea."
And this time, they just saw Jack and Pikachu, and charge at them, but Jack summoned his pok'emon just in time. He summoned back Psyduck and Growlithe, and then all four get into position. There are four little shadows wearing a red wizard robe.
"What are they, fiends?" Ask Pikachu.
"No idea." Jack replied, "Pikachu, use your Thundershock attack on that first little guy?"
Pikachu starts to charge up electricity, feeling his red cheeks with static, and then shocks the first little shadow. It didn't do much damage! It just took a little bit of damage. "What? I thought they would be fried by now. Doesn't matter now." He gives the command, "Growlithe! Ember!"
Growlithe inhale its breath, and then blows out a little bit of fire at the first little shadow. It seems that the little red shadow must have absorb Growlithe's attack. Everyone was surprised.
"What the?" Ask Pikachu, "It can adsorb fire attacks?"
"I won't give by a bunch of fire shadows like those guys!" Jack said. But he then starts to charge at the first little shadow, and then attacks. "Ha! Fra! Hu! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! With four slashes, the first little shadow becomes destroyed and falls to the ground. Jack figured it out. "Oh course! They're like wizards! That's the reason why Thundershock and Ember failed. They must be 'fire eaters' or something."
Psyduck goes up to the second little shadow, and then scratches it ounce.
Now it seems the little red shadows started to work together, ready to attack our heroes. The first shadow aims at Pikachu, and attacks with a small fire. Pikachu it hit by little fire, "Pi!" But toughens the flames. "Ha. Pika."
Next, the third little red shadow goes after Growlithe, and blows a little fire at him. It seems that Growlithe didn't felt one thing. It doesn't work well against a fire type. And finally, the last red shadow blows fire at Psyduck, and Psyduck takes a hit. "Psy!" Psyduck made not feel it, but he's burned.
"Psyduck!" Jack shouted, worried at his Psyduck, "Dang! I should have bought some Burn Heals in the first place!" He looks at the second little shadow, and called, "Pikachu! Do something!"
"We'll, I could try 'Quick Attack'." Said Pikachu, "Would that help?"
"Of course." Jack agreed. Jack gives the commands, "Pikachu! Use Quick Attack!"
Pikachu began to dash at the second little shadow, and tackles it like some kind of bullet. Pow!
"Growlithe! Use Bite, now!" Jack commanded. Growlithe charges at the second little shadow, and bites it very hard. Considering it's really a dark type, but only fire, it did some good damage. Jack goes up to the third little shadow, and then attack with his sword. "Fra! Agh! Fra! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! With four slashes, the third little shadow becomes destroyed.
Psyduck feels the burn, and suffered from the burn. But then, Psyduck charges at the second little red shadow, and then use Scratch. It only did a little bit of damage, but it didn't do much damage.
Now the second little shadow flies in front of Jack, and blows out a little bit of fire. Jack took a little bit of damage, but toughens the flames. Finally, the final little red shadow goes up to Psyduck, and blows out fire at him. It seems that the fire is still doing damage to Psyduck, and Psyduck couldn't hold on much longer.
Pikachu starts to charge at the second little red shadow, and then tackles it very fast. It took a good hit, and then the second little shadow becomes destroyed. Only more little red shadow left.
"Growlithe. Do it again!" Said Jack, and then Growlithe goes up to the last little red shadow, and bites it hard. That's a pretty good bite. Jack goes up to the little red shadow, and then attacks. "Ha! Hu! Fra! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! The little red shadow took many slashes, and then becomes destroyed.
There are no more fiends left, Jack and his pok'emon won the battle. Jack has picked up 4 Gils from the ground.
Jack pulled out two pok'e balls, and said to his pok'emon, "Return guys, you did great." Two pok'e balls shot out a red beam, and let both Growlithe and Psyduck rest. Jack put the pok'e balls away, and looks around.
Pikachu looks around, and saw that the room is empty. "Hey, was that it?"
Jack looks around and replied, "I guess so. There are no more of those things." He thought, "I guess those shadows weren't the only ones around. They were wearing some kind of wizard's cloth, but weak against physical attacks. What were they?"
Jack and Pikachu enter to the right, and came into a hallway going right. They continue on until they came into the same room as before, but there are the same little red shadow like, but this time, little blue shadows.
Pikachu looks annoyed and said, "Again?"
"Here we go again." Said Jack, and he throws out two pok'e balls in the air. "I summon you, Growlithe! Psyduck!" Growlithe and Psyduck appeared from both pok'e balls, and get into a fighting stance. But it wasn't lucky, because Psyduck is still burned.
There are four little blue shadows, ready to fight.
Pikachu starts to charge at the first little blue shadow, and a quick tackle, tackles the first enemy. The first little blue shadow takes a hit. "Alright!" Said Pikachu.
Next, Growlithe uses an Ember attack on the second little blue shadow. He inhales his breath, and then blows out a little bit of fire. It seems to be working, and it's because that the little blue shadows are weak against fire attacks. And it's weak against fire; they take double the damage. And it seems that the second little blue shadow is no on fire, or burned.
"How convincing." Said Jack, impressed, "So it seems that those shadow wizards do have a weakness. This one is vulnerable to fire, and the other one must be vulnerable to ice." "I must have forgotten that Fire and Ice are oppose. Maybe I can use my bomb to try and do extra damage." Jack pulls out a bomb card, summons a bomb on his right hand, and throws it at the little blue shadows. "Taste this!"
The bomb was thrown, and then explodes at the little blue shadows. It dealt extra damage, because it's really a firebomb, and a firebomb did double the damage to the little blue shadows. But what's this? The second little blue shadow is destroyed.
He does his victory pose and said, "Lucky me!"
Now Psyduck goes up to the first little shadow, and does his Scratch attack. Scratch! It must have done some damage, and then the first little blue shadow becomes destroyed.
"Guys! We're winning!" Pikachu cheered. But Psyduck still takes damage from the heat.
It seems that the little blue shadows won't give up without a fight. The first one flew in front of Jack, and blows out some kind of cold wind. Jack was caught some kind of Blizzard, and takes low damage. "Agh!" Oh no! Jack is frozen in ice! He can't make a move because he's caught in ice. Now the little blue shadow went up to Psyduck, and blows out a Blizzard attack. Psyduck takes the hit, but now Psyduck becomes frozen too.
What can Growlithe and Pikachu do if the owner isn't around? Would they run away, or fight?
Thinking quickly, Pikachu decided to try and attack without his owner. Pikachu starts to charge at the third little blue shadow, and with a quick tackle, does a little bit of hard pound.
Next, Growlithe goes up to his owner, and Rescue him by spreading the ember all over Jack's frozen body. With a nice fire, the ice started to melt, and unfroze Jack for good. Jack is free.
He looks at Growlithe, pets him and said, "Thank you, Growlithe." It barks, and goes back to his spot. He looks at the little blue shadows and said, "Payback time!" He pulls out another bomb card, "Bomb Card," summons a bomb from his right hand, and throws it at the fiends. "See ya."
The bomb explodes, and both little blue shadows become destroyed. There are no more fiends, Jack and his pok'emon won the battle. Psyduck has grown strong. Jack has picked up 4 Gils from the ground, and returns his two pok'emon back into their pok'e balls.
Jack felt exhausted and said, "Phew! And I thought I would never get out." He looks at Pikachu; "I should thank Growlithe for letting me out. Without him on my team, then I would be a 'Frozen Popsicle'."
"You might say that." Said Pikachu, "Let's hurry up and go to the next room."
Jack nods and said, "Right." Jack and his Pikachu continue by going straight, and enter at the hallway again. The hallway is going to the right just like before, and both Jack and Pikachu decided to take a break. "With all of this adventure, why would a villain want Yami's powers?"
"You mean Atem?" Ask Pikachu, "I have no idea. To try and rule the world?"
"One way to find out." Jack said, and both Jack and Pikachu enter inside the next room. This time, the room is crawling with both little red shadows and little blue shadows. Jack and Pikachu were surprised. "Yikes! You guys again?"
"They never give up, do they?" Ask Pikachu, surprised.
Jack pulled out two pok'e balls and said, "Here we go again." He throws both red spheres in the air, and then both pok'e balls released Growlithe again, but also release a small green skin pok'emon with a bulb on its back. Jack pulls out his sword and shield, and all four prepared themselves.
There are five red little shadows, and five little blue shadows. This isn't going to be easy as they thought.
Pikachu starts off with a Quick Attack, and charges fast against the first little red shadow. He tackles so hard; it did some good damage to the little red shadow. Next, Growlithe inhale its breath, and then blows out an Ember attack at the first little blue shadow. It dealt double damage because fire has the advantage against ice opponents.
Jack begins to waste his magic, pulls out a green card and said, "I summon you, Angelic Ryu!" A giant gold dragon appears in battle, and then starts to manipulate all the little shadows. They're in Angelic Ryu's control. "So that's explains why."
Now Bulbasaur starts to blast out some kind of small seed out of its bulb, and attach to the last little blue shadow.
"Angelic Ryu!" Jack command, "Have the little shadows attack each other!" Angelic Ryu starts to manipulate the little shadows, and have the little shadows against each other from ice enemies against fire enemies.
It worked! Each of the little shadows uses its magic attacks, and deal double damage to each other. The first little blue shadow is destroyed, and only four little blue shadows left.
Next, Pikachu starts to charge up its static on his cheeks, and then blast a Thundershock at the first little red shadow. It only did a little bit of damage, and still floating.
Growlithe starts inhale its breath, and then blows out an Ember attack at the second little shadow. The second little blue shadow becomes destroyed. There are only three left.
Jack starts to pull out another green card, and calls, "I call, Sorceress of the Elements! Again!" There was a flash, and then Dark Magician appeared in battle. It does a powerful attack to the little shadows at ounce with "Dark Magic Attack". It did so powerful; it hits them all to make them all destroyed. There are no more shadows in the battle; Jack and his pok'emon won the battle!
Jack found 10 Gils on the ground, and return his two pok'emon back into their pok'e balls.
