Giratina: POSCO DOES NOT AND WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER, OWN POKEMON! THANK YOU...
Arceus: Today on Pokepowers, Gold and Crystal try to find a way to reverse their body swap, but will it only lead them into more trouble? Stay tuned
Dialga: Boss...I thought you stopped doing that!
Palkia: Yeah!
Giratina: uh-huh, it's bee, like, seven chapters.
Arceus: well somebody needs to do it! Plus, we're losing our fans! The amount Posco's humorous jokes have dropped seventy-five percent and we need some way to regain the fans we once had.
Dialga: wow...that must have been one of the smartest things I've ever heard the boss say...
Palkia: Yeah!
Arceus: Well don't just stand there! Start thinking of ideas!
the Professors Lab…
The Professor's eyes brightened when he saw Crystal and Gold enter the building that was his lab. Something was different about them…Crystal hand her hands behind her head with a bored expression on her face. He could have sworn her sweater was inside-out. Gold had his hands at his sides and he was just smiling like a little school girl who just won a year supply of macadamia nut cookies.
Professor Oak scratched his head, "Oh, uh…hello Crystal; are you alright?"
"Yeah Professor, I fine," Crys/Gold smiled as she waved slightly.
"I said Crystal," He stated as he narrowed his eyes, "Not Gold…"
Crystal frowned, "Oh, sorry, I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night…"
"Ahh, very well Gold," He smiled and turned to look at Gold/Crys, "Now, Crystal, I need you help with something very important."
"Yeah, what is it Prof?" Gold/Crys smirked and strode over to the desk, "Need a little Crystal magic to take care of it?"
The Professor cocked his head, "Um yeah, sure, well, eh-hem, Crystal, I need you, along with Gold if you wish, to investigate the Sea Foam Islands."
"Why?" Crys/Gold asked curiously, "If it's for that wreckage, that was a few weeks ago…"
"No Gold, it's not for the house phenomena; truthfully I didn't even think you knew what the word 'wreckage' meant," Oak shot a pointed stick at a conveniently placed map on the wall, "As you can most likely see from the map and my expertly drawn red circle around the Sea Foam Islands, there have only recently, around five minutes ago, been sightings of red waves in the atmosphere, most likely a distortion from a psychic type move, and I want you to check it out."
"No problem Prof…" Gold was about to say, but Crystal glared at him, "…essor…We're the perfect duo to catch whatever is causing your creepy lights!"
He nodded, "Okay…umm Gold and Crystal…before you go let me just tell you something…"
They looked at each other, then at him.
"…It's obvious something is wrong with you both and I think I know what it is,"
Gold and Crystal looked at one another and gulped.
"You're…"
They began sweating.
"…not sleeping enough!"
They sighed in relief.
"I can tell by the way you're acting!" He shouted slightly angered by their supposed actions, "I want you both asleep at well rested for this!"
They both laughed.
"What's so funny?"
Crystal smiled, "Oh nothing, see you later Professor!"
Lucky for them the door was still open and they bolted out through it.
The duo rode Mantaro to the Islands. Multiple times did Crystal catch Gold attempting to "feel" parts of her body and even peek down her shirt a few times. She also was also very unhappy about having to change into their super-suits. She forced Gold to just put it on over the clothes she was already wearing, so now her body looked lumpy and fat. Gold allowed her to undress him, but she simply did the same as Gold so she didn't only have to look like a total moron.
What the Professor had said was true. Occasionally a raspberry coloured expansion in the sky would appear, making the clouds pop out like the fisheye setting on a camera. Whenever it did, they could feel the energy surging through them like electricity to a lightning rod.
Soon, they finally reached their destination. The sand felt dry under their feet. The wind was quick and reeked of salty sea water. Gold peaked through the cave and took a long whiff of air, "Ahhh…yup, this is the place…"
He ran inside and Crystal sent him a look that said, 'Gold, there is no way smelling oxygen is an informative action to take when trying to hunt down a possibly dangerous Pokémon…'
After taking a long break to release her ever-so disappointed sigh, she ran after him in an attempt to catch up. Finally, they reached a clearing in the cave. Static bulbs and ice shards surrounded the perimeter if it, glowing a sickly mixture of blue and yellow and purple. A machine sat in the middle, big glowing red and green flashing buttons burst into light in a random and complicated order. A large antenna stuck out from the top and sparked dramatically. Inside a tub on the side, was a beaker filled with a fizzy blue substance.
"What the?" Gold asked surprised, "What the bleep is this?"
"I don't know…" Crystal murmured as she edged closer, "I think it's what's causing the disruptions in the dimensional fabric of-"
"Okay!" He shouted, cutting her off, "Please do not go all scientific on me now of all times!"
Crystal nodded. Suddenly, giggles could be heard. It was coming from behind the machine. Gold and Crystal looked at each other. Then two girls jumped out from behind it, causing them to fall back in fright. It was the same two girls from earlier: Little Miss Blue and Frighteningly Devil Yellow.
"You two?" Crystal asked loudly, "Come on! You have to get out of here, it could be dangerous!"
"Oh we know that, Crystal…" The girl in blue grinned evilly, "Don't worry, we'll get out safe and sound…"
"Wait what-" Crystal paused, "How'd you know I was Crystal? Who ARE you?"
"Well, let's start off with the second question," The girl in yellow smirked, "Me, you all could just call me Electro! Pap named me Electra, but my sis's and I all preferred to be called with an 'O', sound cooler!"
"I'm Crya, or Cryo as I like to be called," The girl in blue, now identified as Cryo, said, "I'm sure your friend has already met Pyra…or should I say Pyro…"
"We know who you are because Cryo is smart enough to make a machine that uses the move Heart Swap," Electro said as she patted the machine proudly, "Yup, you see this?"
She slowly pointed to the vial of the blue substance, "We created it; it's called Manaphy Essence."
"Essence?" Gold questioned as he stared, "What do you mean essence?"
"It wasn't too hard…" Cryo stated, "It only required hydrochloric acid, citric acid, Cradily acid, some liquefied copper, and a pinch of sodium chloride…"
Crystal suddenly gasped, "You killed it then? You dissolved it in a mix of chemicals and were left with nothing but a small vial of power particles that could not have been disintegrated which granted you the ability to use them in a mechanical contraption in control it over miles!"
"Bingo," Electro chuckled as she grabbed something at her belt, "And since I know you're probably going to attack me now, Go Raichu!"
"Weavile!" Cryo called as she too through her poke ball.
Both appeared in a flash of light. Gold and Crystal's eyes widened at the sight.
"They've evolved already?" Crystal asked shocked.
The girls nodded. Cryo ordered an ice beam to be fired at Crys/Gold. The Sharp Claw Pokémon took a deep breath before firing a light blue light at her. Crystal was about to reflect it using her own Ice Beam, but epically failed when all that came out of her outstretched hands were pathetic little sparks. The attack hit her square in the stomach as she flew backwards into the wall.
Gold scowled at them. He raised his fist for a punch, but ice formed on his fist and he fell over from the uneven weight he then carried. The girls laughed at his dismay. His forehead creased angrily at this. Getting up slowly, Gold raised his fist again and swung. It hit the Weavile in the neck, causing it to fly across the room, into the Raichu, then into Cryo. The blue girl frowned, "You're so mean!"
"Raichu!" Electro ordered as the small rodent ran up to her, "Thunder! Hit 'em where it hurts!"
The yellow Pokémon nodded its little head…despite its lack of a neck. It curled up into a ball and created a lightning bolt and sent it hurdling at Gold. He had to think fast. Suddenly, another bolt of lightning collided with it. It sent it flying backwards into the Raichu with then sent it into Electro's chest.
Gold turned around. There he saw Crystal standing triumphantly at what she'd done.
"Quickly, let's disarm the mechanism!" She shouted as she rushed to the object, "We just have to reverse its polarity and that should reverse all the damage it caused."
Gold nodded. Together, they stared at the machine. And stared. And stared. And-
Suddenly, something hit Gold in the back. He flew forward from impact directly into Crystal. Behind them stood Electro and Cryo, teeth clenched and hands balled.
"No wonder Pyro came home last week and locked herself in her room!" Cryo sneered, "You meanies are impossible to keep down! Heel boy, heel! Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done!"
"You can't tell us what to do!" Gold shouted, "We're older than you! You're like twelve or something!"
Crystal rolled her eyes, "Says the guy who still sleeps with a stuffed Snubull…"
"Hey!" Gold cried embarrassed, his cheeks turning crimson, "You leave Mr. Fluffy out of this!"
Crystal snickered and jumped over another attack sent at her by Cryo.
"You people!" Electro yelled, "I cannot believe you're even still powerful when we've switched your powers! Unbelievable!"
"And now it's time to finish you off!" The girl in blue added, "Weavile! Blizzard!"
"Raichu! Discharge!"
Everything seemed to go in slow motion when the streams of lightning and blasts of snow. Gold jumped off the ground through two columns of electricity, flying sideways onto his back. He turned his head, eyes wide. He saw Crystal make a combat roll to the side and behind the mechanism, dodging both moves. The attacks collided with each other, and then into the machine, which exploded in a flash of bright light.
The ground shook a bit when it happened, but Gold stood up anyway. He wiped off his arms and scowled, "…You two are on my last nerve…you could have killed all of us! Do you realize that! I really hope that father you keep bringing up punishes you for a long time because of this! Now I completely regret catching that freaking Sneasel for you!"
Gold's angry expression turned into one of confusion, "Wow, I think Crys' body's changing my personality…"
The girls frowned. Cryo seemed to show the most disappointment, "No, no, no! My machine! My beautiful baby! This is all your fault!"
"My fault!" Gold shouted back, "You're the one who blasted it with your Pokémon!"
Suddenly, Crystal walked between them, "Now, now, let's not fight like this; after all it was only a piece of technology."
"But that was so important!" Electro cried, "Listen here Miss Know-it-all, I don't stand for any and all so called 'mistakes', so now we're gonna have to beat the crap out of you until you've learned your lesson…Raichu, thunderbolt!"
"Weavile, Ice Beam!"
Just then Crystal clenched her hands into fists and put them at her chest. She unleashed a powerful gust of wind and ice and snow in the direction of the enemies. Gold got on all fours and released hundreds of rods of lightning at them. The girls screamed. All the attacked struck. Smoke filled the room. When in faded, the girls appeared to have gone with it.
"Darn!" Gold screamed, annoyed, "Where'd those little brats go?"
Crystal wasn't listening. Instead she was looking at her arms and down at her clothes and smiled, "Gold! I think we're back to normal!"
Gold looked down at himself, "Oh yeah, I think you're right! Woohoo!"
The duo turned to look at the machine. It was broken to bits at the ground, the blue liquid dampening a section of it. That poor, poor, poor little Manaphy. It died in a way it shouldn't have: vaporization. And what was left of it was used for evil? That's just sick.
Crystal grabbed Gold's hand, "Come on, let's get back to the house."
Down in the Lab with Green and I.D.A.
"So as you know, today we had a series of extreme paranormal happenings today, but that is not why I called you all down here," Green said as he walked in front of the rest of the DexDefenders, "I had I.D.A. search for something today, and what she and I found was beyond our belief. I'm pretty sure it will be the same for you…"
Arceus: Yes...yes...I think this could work!
