So our heroes made it to the island finally. It was like a tropical rainforest with a huge valcano in the center of the island. Alonf it, houses and stuff were built into the sides and it was all cool as spy-villiany like. There was a brick fog that surrounded the island which made it hard to see, but the gps new the direction and the fog made it so the Evil Guys couldn't see them back lol.

They landed safely and got out to disscus their next plans for action. Misty whistled looking at a tall tree. "Wow look at the size of this jungle," she said excitedly. "Look out!" Next thing Misty knew she was on the ground, Brokc next to her for pushing her out f the way.

The tree was really the plant pokemon Tropius!

"I guess the ilsand iis dangerous even without the Evil Concil," Chilli and Crest's twin hiveminded.

"yes," Pikabert said ooking up tto the top of the valcano in srs. Gary puts his hands o hos hips and sayd cheerfully," whelpers, let's start climbing this bad boi!"

Since Brock was on the grund after shaving Misty from fruit-dinos Iris was the oner to beat sense into Gary. "But Mister MFing Oak, we can't really climb it since it's a voloano...", Iris tried to explainiged. Gary grabbed Iris by the sholders,"but Iris, don't you watch the old black and white movies!? The bad guys ALWAYS put their headquarters inside of the volcano!I'm like, oretty sure there's a trope for it or some nerd thing!"

"Doth Gareth is right,"Lance said,"i am sensing an evil force resemmanting from the bowls of the fire mountain."

"But how are we suppose to get insdie it," Misty asked brushing the dirt and b rock from her pants," it's not like we can fly into it wishout flying type pokemon?"

"And were certainly not oing to run into any body we've met before to magically help us out," Brock said with truth.

While people were discussing how to enter the base the Mysery Person climbed ontop of a brokc and pulled out an airhorn to get everyone's attention. "Yes Mystery Person who we will hoefully find out who you are soon maybe," Iris asked," what is it?"

"Do ou know a way into the volcanno,"asked the twims in suspicious monotone.

Msyetert nodded in a way so that xir's fedora still covered thier face and then beckoned the group to follow. Iris sighed internally and followed a smile on her face. However as she walked Gary brisked past her and muttered under his breath,"i wouldn't trust this guy."

Iris stopped, all her happiness drained like spagetthi water in the sink. What could Gary mean? Did...Gary know something about the Mystery Person?

Meanwhile inside the depths of the volcano, Masky was afoot.

He took off his glove made out of kangastan baby pelts and put his hand on the electro-palm scanner to open the door. The new room was dimly lit, the walls were made from ignimbrite, and were decorated in faded old murals of legendary pokemon. At the opposite end of the room was a plexiglass window that showed the volcano's lava and magmar families. There was also a big wheely chair that was facing towards the window. In the chair sat the Evil Conculs insidieous leader.

Masky bent down to his knee to show submissives. "My lord," Masky started," our mole has told us that Pikabert and company have arrvied on the North-Eastern part of the island. How would you like to address the situation?"

Masky waited in nervous anticipation for his master's reply. After a few moments that seemes like years to Masky his leader told him his orders.

"Yesss i ssseeee. After they tried ssssoo hard to get here i think you ssshould give them a warm welcome. It wouldn't be long until hisss guessst of honor arrivesss."

Masky bowed, " yes my lordship" and then left. It wouldn't be long until Ash should up, and if they ancient texts were true he would be completely turned into a god. Masky's brow furrowed under his mask and his fist clenched with negative feels. Soon, he thought, soon...

It was a good few hour thrudged through the jungle until the thr ropu decided to stop. Even though Msity and Crest were here with their water elementals, it was still very hot and insufferable in the tropical jungle. Gary had tooken off his jacket and both Brock and Iris were sffering from bad weedle bites. The only ones who were doing good were the fire gym leader Chilli and the cold-blooded Lance.

"Whewww boy, i'm pooped how much farther til we get to the place," Gary whined wiping sweet from his forehead," Mitty can you like, hit me with your totdile."

"Sorry Gare but Totodile needs his rest," Misty said summoning her blue croc back with her good arm. "But i'm hoooooooootttttttt," Gary's complaining grew louder and the bones in his arms melted and he toppled over on the rock he was sitting on. Misty just rolled her eyes and Lance and Chrest just looked away.

Iris how ever looked at Gary with concern. The words he said earlier still bounced in her head like a million wild jackrabbits.

"Umm you know gary i think i heard a waterfall nearby. Do wanna go collect some fresh water with me," Iris asked. Although her real motive was to get Gary alone to pry him for information she had to admit that dehydration was creeping.

"And maybe take a dip while we're there SURE," Gary exclaimed suddenly regaining his energy and bones.

"no you're NT contaminating our drinking water," Broxk scolded but it was too late. Gary grabbed Iris's hand and they ran off.
