RGBY - Vol. 2 - Mask of Ice Summary - A familiar foe is hunting them...

2.10 - Gyarados and Steelix Gone Berserk!


11-year old Yellow ran after Green about to take off with Charizard, waiting for her.

"Yellow!" A voice yelled out.

Yellow stopped, seeing Brock and Misty smiling at her.

"Here." Brock took out a Pokeball. "This is my Graveller. You can take it along with you."

"And this is my Omanyte." Misty took out a Pokeball. "This'll be safer than just travelling with just three Pokemon by yourside."

"C'mon. We have to get going." Green called out to her.

"Um... Thank you so much, Brock and Misty!" Yellow smiled at the two Gym Leaders.

"Oma! Gra!" Omanyte and Graveller smiled upon Yellow through the Pokeballs.


"Whoa!" Yellow looked at Onix standing tall in the Pewter City gym with a smile on her face.

"Ooooniiix." Onix let out a calm roar, happily licking the girl like a dog.

"Eeeww! Gross!" Yellow giggled, her hat and clothes were now covered in slobber.

"I'm surprised you aren't scared." Brock smiled, crossing his arms. "Most people freak out when they see a giant rock snake for the first time."

"I just love Pokemon no matter what shape or size." Yellow smiled. "Even the tallest creatures can be gentle and friendly."

"Wow." Brock smiled. "You sound a lot like Red!"

"Heehee..." Yellow rubbed the back of her hand with a smile.


"Go! Gyarados!" Red threw a Pokeball into the river.

Gyarados flashed opened into the huge river as the children backed away holding shock and fear, everyone but the curious Yellow.

"It's huge!" One boy said.

"It looks scary!" Another girl spoke.

"Whoa." Yellow looked amazed.

"It's okay!" Red smiled. "Don't be scared of Gyarados. He's very friendly. Also..."

Red walked up to the little nine-year old girl holding Rattata in her arms. Red bent his knees to the ground. He could see Yellow's curious eyes meeting his.

"Listen to me please..." Red smiled. "Pokemon can be scary but they're basically kind, loving creatures."

Yellow stood there silently, listening to Red's words, watching that confident smile.

"If the owner is bad and trains his Pokemon to do bad things..." Red explained. "Then they'll grow up to be bad too. But if you care for them with a kind and gentle heart..."

"Rattata?" Rattata looked up to Red, holding that same curiosity Yellow has.

"Then they'll always be your friends. Do you understand?" Red smiled.

Yellow let out a warm smile. "I do."

"As long as you understand that, you're on the right side!" Red stood up, smiling back.

"GYAAARRGH!" Gyarados roared happily.

"Run away!" The children quickly ran away, all but Yellow who stood there smiling in amazement.

"Hee hee." Yellow smiled at the Gyarados.

"I think Gyarados likes you." Red smiled.

"I like him too." Yellow smiled.

"Gyyyyaaagh..." Gyarados let out a soft growl towards the little girl, his happy eyes reflecting the little girl's smile.


Yellow didn't let out a warm smile, her eyes were filled with terror, her body froze shutting away all the screaming and roaring towards her. Her eyes only stared at the Mega Steelix and Mega Gyarados. They didn't hold those gentle friendly eyes as they did before, they held violent whited ones that screech anger and sadness. Yellow just stood there, her eyes growing tears as the world slowly grew blurrier and quiet.

"Yellow! Yellow! Yellow!" Silver kept on shouting.

It was no use. Yellow just stood there, unsure of what to do, her body feeling heavier as her knees felt the rough surface, her eyes trembling before the two berserk Pokemon she called friends.


The Masked Man threw a Pokeball onto the shallow lake flashing opened! A large bipedal creature in shaggy white mixed with green spiky fur landed on the lake, it's feet freezing a spot of the lake near a dead tree sticking out of the lake. It's pale purple eyes locked on to the Poliwrath and Alakazam, grinning eager to battle.

"Abomaaaa…" Abomasnow let out a breath of icy cold frost.

"Mega evolve." The Masked Man spoke, clicking on one of the Mega Bracelets he had.

"Abomaaaa!" Abomasnow roared, freezing the entire lake as he was enveloped with a bright light.

"It's mega evolving." Green stated.

"Hmm..." Red continued analyzing the situation. He then looked to Hoopa, shaking in the Mask of Ice's arm. He thought to himself, "Will get you away from him Hoopa!"

"H-hoopa." Hoopa shuddered.

"Abomaaa!" The already large Abomasnow broke out of the light, grew even larger.

Red and Green could see icicles coated in green fur formed at it's back as the Frost Tree Pokemon grab the tree, breaking it into a literal Wood Hammer from his claws alone. Abomasnow grinned, holding the Wood Hammer in his left hand above his shoulder, as he taunted them with his right hand.

"Okay… we'll play along." Green said.

"Yeah." Red said.

"Attack!" Red and Green shouted, pointing towards the Mega Abomasnow.

"Poli! Kazam!" Poliwrath and Alakazam nodded.

The fighting and psychic type ran together across the ice, raising their fists and spoons at the same time towards the Mega Abomasnow.

"Abomaaa!" Mega Abomasnow raised his wooden mallet defensively sideways as the two pairs came close.

Mega Abomasnow blocked the attack, their fists and spoons crossing with his hammer as the weight of the blow caused the ice beneath to cracked slightly.

"Poli! Kazam!" The two backed off, running separately to the right and left around Abomasnow.

"Poli!" Poliwrath's right fist glowed brown.

Abomasnow reacted quickly! Swinging the mallet to Poliwrath, keeping a sizable distance, the mallet swinging in circles.

"Kazam!?" Alakazam looked shock as he charged up a brown ball of energy in one hand.

The mallet swung into Alakazam, the Psi Pokemon feeling the blow impacting his chest, gritting his teeth as he was sent flying a few feet away, rolling and tumbling on the ice.

"Kazam!" Alakazam quickly got up without hesitation as Poliwrath ran to the Abominable Pokemon.

"Poli!" Poliwrath got up close.

However Abomasnow's massive claws to the right stopped in his track, grabbing his torso!

"Poli!?" Poliwrath could feel the massive claws gripping onto his entire body!

"Aboma!" Abomasnow slammed the Poliwrath into the ice, cracking even further!

The Abomasnow quickly slid a bit back using the ice grinning, Alakazam's Focus Blast missing Mega Abomasnow easily.

"Interesting." Green studied the ridiculously large but incredibly mobile Abomasnow. He shouted, seeing Abomasnow on the move. "Alakazam! Move!"

"Kazam?" Alakazam looked to his trainer.

He turned his head back, to his surprise the massive-sized Pokemon slid to him fast, too fast, slamming his hammer into Alakazam's chest, the Psi Pokemon sent flying to the ice again.

"Kazam!" Alakazam's eyes glowed a psychic blue, levitating himself before he could hit the ground. He landed on his feet quickly, running up to the Abomasnow with a charged Focus Blast.

"Poli!" Poliwrath got up on his feet quickly, running to the Abomasnow at the same time.

"Hehehe… Aboma." Abomasnow grinned at the two attempting to attack on different sides again.

Red's Poliwrath and Green's Alakazam attacked at the same time but Mega Abomasnow was surprisingly swift, agile and responsive, slapping Alakazam's hand away with his claws, misdirecting the thrown Focus Blast elsewhere, striking near the cliffside the Masked Man stood on, silently watching ignoring the blast. Poliwrath attempted to slam his fist into Abomasnow but the Abomasnow easily slid back again, the punch narrowly missing the grinning Abomasnow!

"Aboma!" Abomasnow spun around, swinging his hammer as a great blizzard emerged from his shaggy fur.

"Poli! Kazam! " Poliwrath and Alakazam jumped back, keeping their distance away from the heavy frozen winds and that huge swinging mallet.

"Do you understand that Abomasnow's strategy Red?" Green spoke.

"Poli... Kazam... " Poliwrath and Alakazam stood, awaiting orders.

"Yeah." Red commented. "Abomasnow has high defenses but is very slow and his range isn't that good when it comes to physical attacks. Which is why Abomasnow is sliding and spinning on the ice for mobility. The huge mallet is to increase his physical attacking distance. Basically he has huge defenses, mobility and a larger range at the same time. Pretty ingenious actually."

"You figured it out already?" The Mask of Ice commented. "I suppose it's to expect from the Pokemon Champion and Viridian's Gym Leader."

Green smiled. "You haven't seen nothing yet."

"Well than…" The Mask of Ice felt a burst of excitement churning through his body. He and Abomasnow waved their hand back and forth. "Bring it on."


"Chu!" ChuChu frightened, quickly dashed away away from the Mega Steelix looming past her.

ChuChu kept looking up and forward, seeing the Mega Steelix just inches away from the ground as Mega Steelix dug it's head underneath a different floating island of rock nearby. Yellow gulped as the Steelix looked like it was flying from one island to another.

"GYRAAAARRGH!" Gyarados did the same as Mega Steelix, diving from the waterfall upside down into a vertical waterfall as Silver's Red Gyarados chased after it, diving into that very same water pathway.

"Wh…what should I do." Yellow spoke.

"Chu! Chu!" ChuChu shook the sleeves of her pants, wanting her to move now!

Her Pokemon either stood there or ran away from harm's way, sharing Yellow's worried, awaiting her commands. Golem and Omastar especially shared Yellow's frozen terrified look, watching their friends gone berserk, ignoring Butterfree's and Raticate's pleas to move as they constantly shook them.

"STEEEEEEEL!" Steelix emerged from the rocky island behind Yellow.

"Huh?" Yellow slowly turned around, seeing the snake's massive steel head up-close, showing off that berserk look in it's whited eyes, looking faint as a ghost as claws pressed against it.

"Ferali! Ursa!" Feraligatr and Ursaring gritted their teeth together, holding the mighty force of Steelix's giant head from crushing Yellow.

Yellow turned around finally noticing ChuChu trying to push her leg, wanting her to move away from the Steelix. She just stood their spooked still like Golem and Omastar staring at Steelix's violent crazed expression.

She spoke. "Why…D… don't you recognize me. It's me Yellow! Your friend Golem is worried about you!"

"STEEEEEEEL!" Steelix pushed back Feraligatr and Ursaring!

"Ferali! Ursa!" Feraligatr and Ursaring gritted their teeth as their feet felt the dirt being pushed back.

"Hydro Pump!" Silver ordered.

"Kngdraaaa!" Kingdra fired an explosive gushing beam of water to the Mega Steelix.

"STEEEEEEL!?" Mega Steelix violently shook his head in pain and confusion.

Feraligatr and Ursaring quickly hopped onboard Steelix's body, their fists striking hard against Steelix's steel-hard skin repeatedly as they ran up his body like a staircase much to Yellow's horror.

"What are you doing! That's Misty's and Red's friend right there!" Yellow shouted at Silver.

Silver only looked annoyed at Yellow's shouting. Suddenly he heard a roar from the waterfall.

"GYAAARRGH!" Mega Gyarados massive jaws held tightly on Silver's Red Gyarados, throwing him out of the waterfall!

Gyarados's huge body rolled and tumbled against the rocky dirt, slowing down at Yellow's feet. She looked horrified at Red Gyarados's injuries! Silver on the other hand, looked angry, looking to Yellow. The young man grabbed her by the arm, glaring into her worried eyes.

"Yellow!" Silver shouted at her. "I don't care about Brock and Misty right now! Nor do I give a crap about what happens to their Steelix and Gyarados!"

"W… what?" Yellow gulped at what he said.

"Oma? Golem?" Omastar and Golem's eyes shifted to Silver's words, puzzled.

"Look at them." Silver angrily waved his hand to them.

Yellow looked at their violent crazed expressions again, the forced mega evolution energy coursing into their bodies painfully. Red Gyarados lying there hurt in the process as the enraged Mega Steelix shook off Feraligatr and Ursaring. The crocodile and bear gritted their teeth, landing on the rocky surface tired.

"They've lost it Yellow!" Silver pointed to the two Mega Evolutions. "And we need to beat them down even if we hate it! The only thing I care about now is saving Hoopa! Getting answers from that copycat Masked Man! And making sure we and our Pokemon don't get hurt, preventing that crazed maniac from hurting anyone else ever again! If he gets away with this and wins!"

Yellow gulped, looking at Mega Steelix and Mega Gyarados roaring crazily, their eyes full of anger and sadness.

"Then not only will Steelix and Gyarados will end up further under his control! Brock and Misty will continue to be gone! Not only do we end up dead but our own Pokemon will end up hurt or worst! Under that madman's control!"

She looked frightened at what Silver said, at the idea of her Pokemon being taken away by that lunatic, ending up like Gyarados, Steelix and Lanturn. As Yellow was pondeirng this, a orange glow emerged over them

"Golem! Oma!" Golem and Omastar jumped, shielding Yellow and Silver from a beam of orange chaotic energy!

"GYAAAARGH!" Gyarados unleasehed Hyper Beam against the two, his searing rage coated in orange light.

"Golem!? Omastar!? Yellow shouted terrified.

"Oma… Gol…" Omastar and Golem stood up proudly, smiling, trying to ignore that powerful strike.

Golem in particular gave Yellow a thumbs up.

"O… Okay." Yellow spoke. She took a deep breath, standing up from her knees, wiping off the tears. "I… I'll fight them."

Silver looked at Yellow silently. He could still see she was showing that same worried expression but now their was also a sense of determination in those same eyes.

"Good. I need you on this." Silver calmly smiled.

Yellow and Silver looked around, seeing the Steelix shaking off the damage and regaining balance from the very floating island they stood on while Gyarados was recharging from that Hyper Beam previously.

"I'll go for Steelix. You'll go for Gyarados. Type-advantage." Silver said.

"I have an idea…" Yellow spoke, looking at Brock's Steelix and Misty's Gyarados… she then looked to her Z-ring. "Forgive me."


The Mask of Ice stood there gloating, chuckling, watching Red and Green standing there.

"What's so funny?" Green said.

"You chased after me… but now… you're the ones who are trapped with me." The Masked Man sound delighted.

"Is that what you think?" Red said.

"You're the one who's trapped here with us." Green added.

"Hmm?" The Masked Man glared at them.

"Hey Poliwrath." Red said.

"Poli?" Poliwrath turned to his trainer.

"The power weights. Take them off."

"Power weights?" The Mask of Ice sounded confused. "No power weights is going to…"

"Poli!" Poliwrath happily took the weights off of his legs. He held them high up in his hand, dropping it as the weights crashed into the earth, a tiny crater formed with dust surrounding it.

"What!?"

"You sound surprise." Green said.

"Should've done more research." Red couldn't help but smile. "I get bored battling these days, so the power weights bring some challenge! Makes battles fun again but this isn't a regular battle."

He eyed the Masked Man with determination.

Red smiled. "You ready Green!"

"Seems like you've taken my advice on the weights." Green smiled back. "And of course I'm ready."

"Poli! Kazam!" Poliwrath slammed his right fist in his hand and Alakazam gripped onto his spoons tightly, both smiling at Abomasnow.

"Aboma…" Mega Abomasnow looked vigilant and on the defensive, not taking any of them lightly.

"Let's go!" Red and Green shouted.

"Poli! Kazam!" Poliwrath and Alakazam nodded.

The two Pokemon set off, dashing across the icy terrain, Alakazam charging up a Focus Blast with one hand while Poliwrath ran fast ahead of him, leaving a dust of ice behind him!

"Aboma!?" The Mega Abomasnow looked surprised at Poliwrath's outrageous speed.

As Poliwrath ran ahead, suddenly Alakazam vanished!

"What!?" The Mask of Ice shouted.

"Kazam!" Alakazam teleported in front of Abomasnow!

Alakazam floated there in the air, a fully charged Focus Blast in his left hand up-close to Abomasnow!

"ABOMA!" Abomasnow didn't hesitate, quickly reacting, slapping Alakazam's blasting hand away as Alakazam launched the attack.

A drop of sweat slid against Abomasnow's face, glancing at the Focus Blast going past his shoulders, burning a slice of his fur.

"ABOMA!" Abomasnow pushed the top end of his hammer, slamming it into Alakzam.

"Kazam!" Alakazam was sent flying as he dropped his right spoon in the air.

"Poli!" Poliwrath jumped over Alakazam, grabbing the spoon!

The fighting frog up in the air slammed the psychic spoon into Abomasnow's left cheek, slapping him!

"Poli!" Poliwrath landed on his two feet with his other hand behind his back!

"There fighting-styles... are in-sync!?" The Masked Man spoke. He looked to the trainers. "Pokemon Masters indeed..."

Red and Green grinned as the battle raged on.

"Aboma!?" Abomasnow looked furious at this unexpected power and tricks they were hiding. He raised his hammer, glowing a grass-like green, attempting to slam the wood hammer into Poliwrath!

"Poli!" Poliwrath slapped the hammer away with just the spoon.

The fighting frog began fencing the spoon to the giant creature!

"Aboma!" Abomasnow slipped back and forth, slamming and using his hammer offensively and defensively, as Poliwrath attempted to jab the spoon into his body.

"Poli! Poli!" Poliwrath chuckled at the fact that Abomasnow was frightened by a spoon.

Abomasnow gritted his teeth, tired of that spoon in his way. The giant snow monster swung his hammer around in a circle with great force towards the Poliwrath.

"Ally Switch!" Green ordered, clenching his pointed hand into a fist.

"Kazam!" Poliwrath vanished, Alakazam popped into his place grabbing his spoon back in one hand and a fully charge focus blast in the other!

"Aboma!" Abomasnow gasped, his eyes in terror at the focus blast!

The Mega Abomasnow stopped his swinging hammer, slamming his right claw into the ground bringing up an icy wall! Abomasnow grinned under the shadow of the wall shielding him until he noticed more cracking below! The ice wall broke apart against Alakazam's Focus Blast, dividing the blast into two attacks as...

"Poli!" Poliwrath sky-uppercut the Abomasnow from below the ice!

Abomasnow gritted his teeth, his eyes looked startled, holding onto the mallet tightly, seeing the ice wall collapsed and Poliwrath's determined eyes to finish this as he felt Poliwrath's fist against his chin, being sent into the sky!

"Abma…" Abomasnow was sent flying, feeling a heavy breeze and floating rocks breaking into rubble against him!

"Kazam!" Alakazam teleported below Abomasnow close-up to his face mid-air with another fully charged Focus Blast!

Abomasnow only grinned widely at the Alakazam up-close, a frosty blizzard exploding from his shaggy fur!

"Kazam!?" Alakazam found his lower body and right arm slowly freezing, creeping up to his body and the focus-blast arm!

Green shouted. "Ally Switch!"

"Ally Switch again with Poliwrath in that situation? Frozen in Ice?" The Mask of Ice questioned his decision.

"Hehehe Aboma…" Aboma gave a smirked at the slowly freezing Alakazam up-close.

A flash of psychic light popped in a split-second!

"... snow!?" Abomasnow found himself encased in ice! In Alakazam's original position!

Abomasnow looked up, gritting his teeth angrily in confusion, seeing Alakzam grinning up-close in Abomasnow's original position with a fully charged Focus Blast as the wooden mallet fell to the ground! They switched locations!

"Aboma!" The Ice-type broke out of the frozen state, sizing up his two arms, shattering the ice easily.

"Kazam!" Alakzam sent the Focus Blast flying down to Abomasnow up-close to his face!

Smoke exploded in the air as the Mask of Ice watched.

"I got cocky..." The Masked Man spoke.

"Ab… o…ma…" Abomasnow was still awoke, his eyes twitching and his muscles wouldn't listen to what he wanted to do. His eyes opened fully wide in shock, spotting the circling Wood Hammer in air, as he was close to hitting the rocky earth!

"Poli!" Poliwrath dashed across the ice towards the fallen wooden mallet in his reach.

"Aboma?!" Abomasnow saw the Poliwrath grabbing the Wood Hammer.

"Po…liiiiii!" Poliwrath raised the hammer.

"Aboma…" Abomasnow weakly spoke.

"WRAAAATH!" Poliwrath batted the hammer into Abomasnow's gut!

"Aboma!" The spiral-eyed Mega Abomasnow was sent flying like a baseball, crashing into stone pillars and through the cliffs as he reverted back to his original form.

"Hmm…" The Mask of Ice saw Abomasnow in his regular form flying right at him. "Return."

The Abomasnow became enveloped in a blue flash of light, shrinking into the Pokeball.

The Mask of Ice clapped his hands slowly to the two victorious trainers. "I've clearly overlooked some key areas..."

Red and Green stood there angrily silent, so did Poliwrath and Alakazam.

"Your going to jail." Green said.

"How do you even know I'm the real one? I could be just an illusion or a clone like before."

"That's easy." Red spoke. "Your holding a mega bracelet! Only those with bonds can mega evolve and that Abomasnow looked like a good friend of yours."

"Perhaps… but I also forced Mega Evolution on Gyarados and Steelix… if I can do that somehow through engineering and experimenting then I don't need to be here." The Mask of Ice explained.

"True… but let's be honest." Green said. "You don't strike me as the kind of idiot who would leave a powerful tool like the mega bracelet in the hands of a illusion now would you?"

The Mask of Ice stood there silent… He suddenly chuckled.

"Okay… you got me. I'm right here." The Mask of Ice bowed before them. He held his head up high with that grin of his. "But… did you already forgot about Yellow?"

Green just stood there but Red gulped.

"You did?" The Mask of Ice scanned Red. "… what kind of a friend forgets their friend's hour of need. You look like you were having so much fun, smiling, having a good time, finally finding an opponent that forces your Poliwrath to give up those Power Weight items… did you really forgot about that sweet little girl during that little battle you were having?"

"N… No…" Red's face trembled.

"Don't fall for it Red! He's taunting you!" Green said.

"She's in quite a lot of danger… fighting Brock's Steelix and Misty's Gyarados… in their mega evolution forms."

"Brock! Misty! Where are they?!" Red shouted.

"Brock and Misty? Now you care? You seemed to have also forgotten them in the passion of battle. It seems like you forgotten all your problems during the heat of the moment." The Mask of Ice. "No. It seems like you already forgotten about them before that... reminiscing about the past in Viridian Forest, smiling, giggling, talking with those big warm smiles you wore on your faces. Then what happened? You just decide to go relax in a hot springs and have a little fun at the festival? It seems you already forgotten..."

"Shut up!" Red shouted. "Tell us where they are! Now!"

"Tell you what… you could capture me. I assume Green… you aim to use Alakazam to catch me through teleport. A wise choice but you can also use teleport to go through that massive icy wall and assist your friends…"

Green didn't like where this was going. Alakazam looked annoyed.

"Aaah… but there's a problem!" The Mask of Ice petted the stuttering Hoopa in his arms. "You can only teleport groups from one location to another one at a time. You can't teleport Red and Green to two different locations, at least not that easily."

"Maybe we can…" Green said.

"Maybe?" The Mask of Ice muttered, holding a strange pink jar under his sleeve, looking at the shaken Hoopa. "What if it fails? What if Red ends up being here on my side? Or lost in this strange realm? Yellow and Silver, knowing their friends would find a way to come to their rescue… only they don't?"

Red's eyes shook, a drop of sweat dripping against his skin.

"It's one thing to stupidly forget someone's need of help but to know it and not be there?" The Mask of Ice eyed Red. "That's like betraying in their hour of need…"

"I'm going to!" Green angrily walked forward.

Green could feel a hand gripping onto his arm, stopping him.

"No." Red spoke. "Our friends need us more."

"He has my grandpa Red!" Green shouted angrily.

"I know… but do you think Prof. Oak would want you to abandon your friends!"

Green gritted his teeth, his hate-filled eyes glaring at the Mask of Ice. He finally stopped and took a deep breath.

"Fine." Green sighed.

"Smart decision." The Mask of Ice held back the pink jar. He bowed again. "Tell you what? I'll do something quite pointless…"

"Pointless?" Red said.

"You want to find me, Prof. Oak, Misty, Brock and Hoopa right?" The Mask of Ice spoke. "Come find me at the Sevii Isles. You'll find clues along the way… hehehe…"

The Mask of Ice backed away, holding the traumatized Hoopa, as a green portal grew from behind.

"Come find me…" The Mask of Ice stepped back.

"A portal? Give us back Hoopa!" Red shouted.

"What is that?" Green noticed something behind the Mask of Ice.

It was a large figure, spherical and... twitchy…

"Never mind that!" Red said. "Come on Green! Let's help out Yellow and Silver!"

"Yeah." Green nodded."Huh?"

The two looked past the ice wall, seeing a blue thunderous lightning glowing across the distorted world.

"GYAAAAAARGH!?" A painful roar shrieked across the other side.

"What was that?" Red said.

Green looked to Alakazam. "Beam us up Alakzam!"

"Kazam!" Alakazam nodded.

The four vanished, dust on the ground being pushed back.


"I think we may be way over our heads…" Yellow spoke as Butterfree carried her away from Steelix's swinging tail!

"No. No we definitely got this!" Silver spoke as he gripped onto Honchkrow's talons.

"CHUUU!" ChuChu launched a thunderbolt to the violent Mega Gyarados

ChuChu quickly stopped, her body feeling tired as the Gyarados eyed her annoyingly.

"Hehe Chu?" ChuChu nervously smield at the angry Gyarados.

"GYAAAAAAARRGH!" Gyarados roared at the Pikachu, sending her flying off the ground.

"Chu!" ChuChu tried grabbing onto something, anything!

Mega Gyarados stopped roaring, scanning the battlefield as he noticed a stone-ball rolling on higher ground, towards the edge of a cliff!

"Golem!" Golem rolled off the cliff-edge, the withdrawn ball flying towards the Gyarados.

"GYRAAAGH!" Gyardos slammed his watery tail into Golem like a pinball.

"Golem!" Golem was sent crashing in-between a pair of trees.

Golem plopped out of the trees, seeing Omastar and Raticate moving ahead!

"Raticate!" Raticate jumped in the air.

"Oma!" Omastar fired a gushing pump of water!

The gushing water fired into the jumping Raticate, sending him flying even further to the Gyarados!

Silver didn't like the looks of the situation, Steelix and Gyarados popping in and out from the floating isles out of nowhere with raw power.

"STEEEEEEL!" Steelix popped out of the earth, his head extending to Silver and Yellow in the air!

Everytime the Steelix got closer and closer, his head looked like it grew bigger and bigger, surprising the two.

"Steelix! Please!" Yellow shouted.

"It's no use Yellow! Gyarados!" Silver shouted.

"GYRAAAGH!" A Red Gyarados popped out of the lake, entangling the extended Steelix.

"Fire!" Silver called out below.

"Ursa!" Usaring formed a ball of brown energy from his two hands, launching it into the Steelix!

"Draaa!" Kingdra fired a gushing pump of water from his snout!

"Ferali… GATR!" Feraligatr, unleashed a beam of torrential energy, Hydro Cannon!

"STEEEEL!?" The entangled Steelix started to collapse.

It's long body's shadow covered a strip of land as Pikachu and Dodrio quickly moved out of the way!

"Oh sh..." Silver saw Steelix's unconscious head coming right at him. "Honchkrow! Move! No…"

Steelix's head slammed into Honchkrow, the bird gawking in surprise, causing the two to fall to the ground.

"Return!" Silver returned Honchkrow to his Pokeball as he tumbled and rolled on the floor.

"Silver!" Yellow gasped.

"I'm.. errggh… alright." Silver gritted his teeth in pain, feeling his leg unable to move.

Silver looked to his right, shocked a bit, seeing the Mega Steelix lying there near him, it's eyes closed. Suddenly Mega Steelix reverted back to his original form!

"Good." Silver understood what that meant. "It fainted. That combined attack with the ultimate elemental move must've done a number on him."

Suddenly Silver could hear the earth cracking apart below him.

"Ah no." Silver could feel the stony island breaking apart, his Pokemon standing along with it.

"Silver!" Yellow yelled as the earth shook so terribly, that dust rose and covered the area.

"I'm alright!" Silver shouted through the dust. "The fall wasn't that far off. I'll get there once I get this Steelix off of me!"

Yellow could see the dust settling, spotting Silver gritting his teeth underneath Steelix's heavy metal body.

"Is he alright?" Yellow gulped.

"Ferali!" Feraligatr smiled at Yellow, slowly recharging from that Hyrdo cannon, as he gave a thumbs up!

Yellow could see Silver's other Pokemon, gathering around Silver, trying to push Steelix off of Silver. She could even see Kingdra bouncing on his tail, trying to tackle Steelix off Silver.

"Thank you…" Yellow felt some relief. She gulped and looked at the Mega Gyarados. "Sorry about this Misty, Red. Huh?"

"GYAAARRGH!" Mega Gyarados roared slamming his tail onto Butterfree!

"Freeee!" Butterfree was sent crashing by the hit.

"Hold on Butterfree!" Yellow held tightly to her Pokemon.

The two braced themselves, falling into the lake. Suddenly Butterfree popped out of the water easily with determined eyes while carrying Yellow.

"That… that was a close one." Yellow smiled a bit at Butterfree, that he was alright. "Good thing Butterfree's wings are water-proof. Huh?"

Her and Butterfree's eyes gasped, Gyarados's jaws opened wide, a beam of violent chaotic energy forming. Hyper Beam!

"GYAAAARGH!" Gyarados roared, firing the Hyper Beam!

The beam blasting through the dirt easily as it came closer and closer to the flying duo!

"Dodrio!" Dodrio reacted quickly as the beam slitted through the earth!

"GYAAAAARGH!" Gyarados's eyes glowed orange.

"Free!" Butterfree looked determine as ever, dodging the beam narrowly.

"Whoa!" Yellow gasped as Butterfree accidentally let her slipped.

"Free!?" Butterfree gasped

"Drio! Drio!" Dodrio quickly hopped into the fray.

"Oof!" Yellow landed on Dodrio's back. "Um... thanks Dodrio."

"Dodrio! Dodrio! Dodrio!" Each of their heads looked back, smiling at her.

Yellow couldn't help but smile at each of them. Suddenly those three heads turned to horror, moving towards the front quickly.

"What is... it!?" Yellow gulped, seeing the beam of orange chaotic energy chasing after them! She quickly turned her head up-front. "Step on it guys!"

"Dodrio!" The three heads nodded.

Gyarados continuously fired the chaotic energy as Dodrio tried to outrun the searing energy. They kept running and running, one of the heads looking back and forth worriedly as the Hyper Beam got closer and closer!

"Golem!" Golem rolled in, taking Gyarados's attack!

"Dodrio!?" Dodrio looked shocked at their fellow teammate.

"GOLEM!?" Golem screamed in pain, taking the searing attack.

"Golem!?" Yellow hopped off.

She quickly ran to the rock-type.

"Please be fine! Please be fine!" Yellow thought to herself, as she finally reached Golem. "Please! Don't ever do something reckless like that again!"

"Golem…" Golem smiled exhaustedly.

Yellow couldn't help but tearfully smile. "It's a good thing you're a rock-type otherwise that Hyper Beam might've… I don't want to think about it."

Golem continued smiling, tiredly lifted his arm, pointing to the Gyarados.

"What?" Yellow looked at the Gyarados, it stayed there standing still… it was recharging from Hyper Beam! "This is my chance! I have to take it! ChuChu! Remember that Z-move!"

"ChuChu!" The Pikachu nodded from a far distance.

"Okay!" Yellow took a stance as ChuChu did the exact same thing.

The two formed movements in synchronization, waving their arms and taking steps back and forth as Gyarados was recharging. ChuChu became enveloped with wild energy!

"Pika…" ChuChu gritted her teeth.

"Go!" Yellow shouted.

"Pika! Pika! Pika!" ChuChu ran with determination.

The electric mouse jumped on boulder after boulder to a cliff to a tree. Pikachu took one last jump, jumping up-close to Gyarados's head but something went wrong.

"GYAAARRGH!" Gyarados's mouth glowed a chaotic orange, it was fully recharged!

"Oh no!" Yellow looked horrified. She screamed out to her Pikachu. "ChuChu!"

"Pika!?" ChuChu gulped.

"GYAAAARGH!" Gyarados's eyed viciously to the little mouse.

"Raticate!" Raticate jumped out of nowhere slamming his fangs into his blue crest.

"GYAARRGH!?" Gyarados flinched, his mouth grew less and less orange.

"Pika!" ChuChu smiled mid-air.

"Raticate!" Raticate smiled back from Gyarados's crest.

"Pika!?" ChuChu smile was lost.

Gyarados swinging his tail, the attack only flinching his head area!

"Get out of there!" Yellow looked worried.

"Weavile!" Weavile jumped fast from where Silver was. "Weav!"

The red-crested weasel struck the Gyarado's tail, flinching that part of the body too!

"Weavile?" Yellow felt a sense of relief. "Let's do this!"

"Weav!" Weavile smiled and giving the energized ChuChu a thumbs up as he fell to island.

Silver shouted from down below, "DO IT!"

"Chu!" ChuChu nodded, gritting his teeth towards the fully flinched Gyarados.

Z!

Catastro! Pika!.!.!

ChuChu formed into a giant blue ball of volting electricity, flying towards the Mega Gyarados, his whited berserking eyes reflecting against the blue electrifying light more and more as ChuChu got closer and closer.

"Pika! Pika! CHUUUU!" ChuChu slammed the giant blue ball of volting electricity striking into Gyarados's head.

"GYAAARGH!?" Gyarados screamed terribly as a volting electricty stormed through his entire body.

Every island lurking in the darkest corners were brightly lit up by a great roaring blue thunder shocking through the serpent across the distorted world.

"Is he..." Yellow stood, watching.

Mega Gyarados collapsed to the earth, covered in smoke and blue electricity.

"Oh... he's down." Yellow sighed. "Huh?"

Yellow could see a giant crow carrying Silver by the talons.

"Urgh." Silver grunted as Honchkrow gently placed him on the ground.

"Silver!" Yellow ran up to him as he landed on the ground with his feet.

Silver at first was able to remain standing in place, but suddenly his leg collapsed. Yellow quickly held him.

"Is your leg alright!" Yellow said.

"Not for a while it seems." Silver looked to the Mega Gyarados. "Is it… knocked out?"

"Yeah." Yellow looked at the Mega Gyarados reverting back to it's original state. "Steelix?"

"Same." Silver said.

"I hope they won't get angry at me." Yellow said.

"You mean Misty, Brock or Steelix and Gyarados."

"All of them!" Yellow answered.

"You guys!" Two familiar voices called out to them.

Yellow looked past Silver's shoulder.

"Red! Green!"

"Huh?" Silver turned around. "Hey guys."

"What happened to you?" Green noticed Silver's leg looked broken.

"Crashing Steelix." Silver answered. "But we beat them. Sorry Red about your Gyarados. I know he was on your team too for a long while."

"It's alright. Gyarados loves battling." Red smiled. "He'll wake up with a headache but he'll be fine. This isn't the first battle he's lost."

"Hey Yellow. Let me hold Silver. I'm stronger." Green said.

"Um. Sure." Yellow gently let go of Silver.

"Here. I got you." Green held Silver by the shoulder.

"Also… Yellow." Red said. "I'm glad your…"

Red quickly grew silent, surprised at Yellow tearfully hugging Red, her face buried in his 96 red shirt.

Yellow cried, tears hitting the dead soil below. "Those were my friends… I didn't know what to do."

"It's alright." Red smiled.

"Huh?" Yellow looked up.

"If you haven't done anything, these two would've gone a violent rampage and you and your Pokemon would've gotten hurt." Red explained. "Maybe they would've even fought each other. I know it hurts fighting friends, sometimes it feels like a betrayal even or they betray you. Believe it or not I've been through that before in the Sevii Isles. Questioning my abilities of a trainer being too reliant on the Pokedex, wondering if Prof. Oak thought I was no longer worthy of it, surprised at how the public can turn against you no matter who you are. It turned out to be a trick but if I didn't do anything and if you didn't do anything… I guess we wouldn't be standing here together."

"Um… thank you… Red." Yellow backed up, wiping off the tears from her eye.

"Well that was certainly entertaining." A familiar female voice came forward.

"Blue!?" They all turned, surprised.

"Yup. The portal somehow reappeared. I see you defeated Steelix and Gyarados but... what happened here?" Blue looked at the fallen Gyarados in one corner, and could even see the fallen Steelix on a cracked separate floating island. "We should head back and get Steelix and Gyarados some treatment."

"Yeah. We should do that." Green said.

Blue smiled, eyeing Yellow and Red. "Also… I wonder why out of all the people you chose Red to cry your problems over…"

"That… I mean…" Yellow blushed pink a bit. She took a deep breath. "I mean Red's a very caring and loyal friend to anyone so it's just natural that I come to him… "

"Yeah… sure it is." Blue winked her eye to Yellow.

"GYAAAARRGH!" Gyarados rose.

"STEEEEEEEL!" Steelix rose.

"I thought those two were knocked out!?" Red looked astonished.

"I was sure of it!" Silver shouted. "It must have something to do with how the Mask of Ice is controlling them!"

"Gol… Golem." Golem gulped.

"Oma…" Omastar gulped.

"Ergh… " Yellow gritted her teeth, wiping the last tear in her eye.

Yellow angrily walked forward to the two.

"Yellow! Wait!" Red shouted.

"IS THIS! IS THIS how you want things to end!" Yellow shouted at them. "OPEN YOUR EYES!"

"Gryrrgh… Steeel…" Gyarados and Steelix growled painfully at the girl.

"Is this really how you want things to end. You guys are already severely injured from battling, your not in a state to battle again but furthermore… it'd be very sad if this is how Golem and Omastar reunite with their friends! Fighting each other! They came all the way here for you! Worried about Brock, Misty, you two guys! Aren't you worried what happened to Brock and Misty as well?"

Gyarados and Steelix just stood there, silently watching Yellow.

"Gol…em…" Golem couldn't help hold back his tears.

"Oma…" Omastar wiped a tear off his yellow eyes.

"So please… can't we just hug and smile." Yellow gave a light smile, a tear dripping against her cheek.

"Gyrrrr… Steeeell..." Gyarados and Steelix looked at each other, their whitened eyes awoke.

"W… what are they doing?" Green shouted.

"They're going to hurt her!" Red saw the two serpentine creatures coiling around Yellow, Golem and Omastar.

"No… wait." Blue stopped Red. "I think… their just hugging…"

Yellow smiled with her eyes closed, hugging Gyarados and Steelix coiling up together with Golem and Omastar peacefully.

"Thank you." Yellow smiled. "Let's just… go to… sleeeep."

"Freeeee…" Butterfree flew over the group, spreading a greenish powder over them.

Red felt relieved, seeing the group huddling together, sleeping.

"She… she actually calmed them down…"

"I wonder if that forced Mega Evolution energy..." Silver spoke. "Causes them to become further violent beyond reason. That it's better to reason with them when they are in their regular states?"

"Who cares about that now!" Blue smiled. "Let's… let's just gather them. They look… pretty peaceful actually."

"Yeah…" Red smiled at the group, Gyarados, Steelix, Golem and Omastar sleeping together, with Yellow right in the middle, her arms and head laid gently against Gyarados's body.


"Okay! Ease them gently…" A worker said.

Everyone but Yellow saw the sleeping Gyarados hauled over to the large truck full of water.

"What's going to happen to them?" Blue noticed Steelix was placed into a separate truck.

Surge stood there watching the trucks carrying the Pokemon Assocation logo.

"Easy." Surge spoke. "There going to send them to a medical facility right here in Vermillion City. There going to see what's wrong with them and since we don't have their Pokeballs, we need to either find them or make replacements. Till then they're going to live in a large man-made habitat designed specifically for their ecosystems. So how's that little troublemaker Yellow?"

"Red's holding Yellow on her back." Blue pointed to Red.

Surge saw Yellow sleeping peacefully on Red's back as he held her smiling.

Blue continued. "She's sleeping right now and he's going to head out to the hotel soon."

"Hotel? Bah!" Surge said. "Green? Didn't you say something about going to the Sevii Isles."

"Yeah. You getting ready to set sail there?" Green asked.

"Yeah. I received reports that my old colleagues Koga and Sabrina, they've gone missing as well!"

"What!?" Blue looked surprised.

Green didn't.

"Yeah. Apparently Erika is at the Pokemon Association HQ right now and Blaine is missing. I have no clue where that old geezer went." Surge said. "Anyways you ready to go? Red can take Yellow to a room and lay her in a warm bed on the way in the S.S. Anne."

"A luxury cruiser as a form of travel?" Blue smiled. "That sounds fun. Ain't that right Green? Green?"

Green could remember what the Masked Man said, echoing in his thoughts. "What kind of a friend forgets their friend's hour of need. You look like you were having so much fun, smiling, having a good time?"

"Uh... Green?" Blue poked him in the shoulder.

"Hmm? Yeah, yeah. Sure." Green said. "I could use a short break along the way. Gives me more time to plan."

"Okay than. Were going to the Sevii Isles." Surge smiled.

"I thought we were going to the hotel?" Red walked forward.

"Nope! Even better!" Blue smiled eagerly.


"Whoa." Red looked at the S.S. Anne. It looked far bigger than he remembered.

"Some remodeling has been done." Surge said. "Well anyways, come on now. You want your girlfriend here to get some rest right?"

Blue looked annoyed.

"G-girlfriend?!" Red gulped, feeling a chill down his spine. "It's… It's nothing like that!"

"Really?" Surge grinned. "That's not what Blue tells... ACK! Hey! What's that for!"

Blue angrily punched Surge in the shoulder.

"That's the last time I tell anyone about this." She muttered.


The S.S Anne stood at the pier, getting ready to take off as Green looked to the seas.

"Hey there!" Blue smiled.

"Where's Silver?" Green said.

"Resting his leg in one of the cabinets." Blue said. "He's... doing fine."

"You look worried about him." Green continue looking at the great seas.

"Y-yeah. He's a long-time friend that has always been there for me." Blue sighed. "He'll be fine."

"Are you telling me that. Or yourself?" Green said.

"Hmm? I-I guess myself." Blue chuckled at herself.

"Hey. The Mask of Ice." Green said.

"Yeah?" Blue looked to him.

"Does this Mask of Ice seem in anyway... a little different from the Mask of Ice you know?" Green said.

"Actually... yes." Blue said. "He does seem the same but thinking about it... he does seem a little bit more twisted and lacks... that concern for me and Silver."

"Concern?" Green looked to her. "What do you mean?"

"I guess..." Blue looked back it now. "The old Mask of Ice sort of saw himself as a father to the children he kidnapped. He did showed some kindness and concern to us. From how Silver explains it, Pryce even sounded puzzled that Silver wanted revenge for what he did to him before he tried taunting and twisting his thoughts."

"A father-figure? This Mask of Ice doesn't seem to have any of those features." Green said. "There's also something else that bothers me."

"Yeah Green?"

"Palkia cutting off Saffron City from the world. The Gym Leaders go missing. Prof. Oak kidnapped all the way to the Sevii Isles?" Green said. "Does this sound familiar to you?"

"Wait a minute! Your right!" Blue gasped. "Team Rocket blockading Saffron City from the world. The Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto under siege by Team Rocket at the Gym Leader Tournament! And Prof. Oak and my parents were kidnapped by Giovanni and sent to the Sevii Isles."

"Yeah... this is all too familiar." Green said. "Well... similar."

"Do you think it's a message?" Blue said.

"I have no clue. I just don't think it's a coincidence that what's happening right now resembles Team Rocket's actions in the past."

Blue gulped at the thought, feeling uneasy at the thought.

"D-do you think." Blue spoke. "This Team Rocket, let's say it's Team Rocket, is trying to control all of Kanto again like Giovanni successfully did years ago?"

"Maybe." Green said, looking to the great ocean.


Red sat in a chair, looking at Yellow sleeping peacefully in bed while he held her straw hat.

"Is it Butterfree's Sleep Powder or did you use your psychic powers again?" Red spoke. "That battle must've really tired you out for you to sleep this long."

Yellow just laid there, sleeping, as tears fell on the cloth.

"I-I'm sorry for not saving Brock, Misty, Oak or Hoopa." Red quietly spoke, tears falling to the ground. "I know I said it was a good thing that you took down Gyarados and Steelix but honestly... I was afraid myself. That you and Silver get hurt and that I'd had to hurt Steelix and Gyarados. As much as I hate to admit this, that Masked Man was right. I was really enjoying that battle against him, it's been so long since I've gotten a good battle that I suddenly felt a passion for battling again right in the middle of something dangerous. What is wrong with me?!"

Red stood up, wiping the tears off his eyes, smiling at Yellow.

"Hey Yellow." Red placed her straw hat on the desk, smiling at a recent thought. "This one lady among the staff said you looked like this pretty girl from this one fairy tale. What was her name? Gurda? Gorda? I didn't really fully understand what was she saying, she had a thick accent but apparently from what she tells me it's a story about this girl who comes saves her long-lost childhood friend from this ice witch and she does so in a heroic fashion, never giving up. Thinking about it, it does remind me of you Yellow. You never give up on your friends. Well..."

Red took one last look at Yellow, sleeping peacefully in her bed.

"Cya. Yellow."

Red walked out the door, closing it. As the door shut-closed, Yellow grew a light smile.


An short old man sporting a blue jacket sitting in a electronic wheel chair watched from the crowd in a dark corner of Vermilion City.

"C'mon... Mamoswine. Were going to find our friends." He spoke.

A giant shadowy pig-nosed mammoth looked above behind the old man and his wheel chair as it snuffed frost out of it's nose, it's blue eyes piercing through the dark corner.

Volume 3 - The Sevii Isles - The plot deepens, things may not seem what they appear to be...


That's the end of Volume 2 - Mask of Ice to take a break before writing Vol. 3, which will possibly be the longest volume arc in this fanfic as it is covering the entire Sevii Isles, explaining it's importance to the Pokemon world but also answering a lot of questions laid out previously while creating new ones. There are also two other reasons why it's going to be a bit longer. One of those reasons is that I want to try to keep the chapters shorter than previously. The other is that Vol. 3 will feature a lot of characters. For starters, here's a hint in the work-in-progress title I had in mind for the first chapter... "Blaine chooses the impossible." I'm wondering if that'll even fit in the word count lol. So what did you think of Volume 2, did you liked it, what did you felt needed improvement on? I appreciate feedback, be it praise or constructive criticism. It will really help me for the editing stages later on. On a different note, I think I'll create an action-packed one-shot sometime later. You probably won't see the next Volume until November or December. I want to see what the Let's Go titles has in store for the Pokemon series and integrate some of that stuff in Vol. 3 and in the future.
