Most of the School was loading up a bus for a trip to a campsite.
"Now remember, once we get to the island in the middle of the lake, we wont be able to have signal and contact you. Yumi's here because of her tests, but we still need to update the Skids sheilds." Jeremie said on the phone.
"Relax. I'm sure today's gonna be very tame." Yang said.
"I hope so…" Jeremie said. "Jim said theres been some reccent reports of a giant blue… "man-turtle" are spreading like wild fire."
"The giant man turtle? Oh I heard of that rumor. There's rumors that a large turtle that walks on two legs lives deep on the center island." Sunny said.
"Hang on a second, a giant humanod turtle? And did you say it was blue?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, why?" Jeremie asked.
"R-dex, look up pokemon that match these characteristics. Cross between a turtle and a man, and blue." Twilight said as R-dex poked out of her back.
"Bzzt! Only four counts of walking blue turtles. Squirtle, Wartortle, Blastoise and Carracosta." R-dex said.
"Bring up the image for Carracosta on my phone." Jeremie said.
A large turtle with long arms and shell and dark blue was shown. Jim saw it too.
"Whatre you looking at Belpois… hey, hey hey hey! That looks exactly like the photos of the blue man turtle." Jim said.
"Uh..yeah." Jeremie said nervously too.
"I even got data too. Bzzt! Carracosta, the Prototurtle Pokemon and the evolved form of Tirtouga. Active both on land and in the sea, this Pokémon drags its land-based prey into the water to finish it off." R-dex stated.
"A carracosta would have been evolved from Tirtouga, which likely was reanimated in the capsule chopper found that contained a Cover Fossil." Twilight said. "Definitely one of Darumaka's...protected...fossils."
"Hopefully this thing isnt really that bad as Areodactyl." Indigo said. "And I don't have a water tyoe on my team. I wanna catch it."
"I dunno Indigo, whos to say any type of Pokeball will work in this world." Twilight said.
"Thanks to our wonderful ships, we have a wireless broadcast. And I got some net balls, perfect for bug and water types and I got some guys I never even showed off yet." Indigo said.
Twilight then thought about it. "Ah who am i kidding, I'm curious too. Lets go together."
"Yeah, baby!" Indigo said as they ran out of the ships and opened their ride pagers.
"Summon Lapras. That way, we can sail right to the island with no issue." Twilight said.
"Okay. Lapras Paddle!" Indigo said as a Lapras appeared in the water.
As the trip group arrived on the island, they set up the tents as Jerime tried to use his computer.
"Theres nothing we can do. Without a connection, its totally useless." Jeremie said. "Lets just hope that XANA doesnt take advantage of the situation."
"Relax, Jeremie. Yumi is watching the factory at home." Aelita said.
"Along with the others, too. I'm just worried about the Carracosta here." Jeremie said.
On the other side of the island…
"Oh, I can't wait to get that Carracosta. My guys are gonna be like, Wha! And Wha cha! And rockasock!" Indigo said.
"Well, I'm more interested in studying it up close. Plus I would like to give some of my new friends some exercise too. You weren't the only one catching in Alola." Twilight said.
"I bet. These ancient pokemon are cool looking. Weve already seen Bastiodon on team Crusader, but the others, man! Rampardos, Tyrantrum, Kabutops! I wanna see them all." Indigo said.
"So, why don't we? We can be the teams fossil hunters like how you hunted down the Ultra Beasts." Twilight said.
"Hey, yeah! Though, it isnt gonna be easy locating em here. It's not like I can get any info from Looker and the IP.." Indigo said.
"Well, maybe my little friend can help." Twilight said pulling out a ball. "Come on out, Rockruff!" Twilight said tossing a ball as a Rockruff came out.
"Whoa! ISnt that Kukui's main?" Indigo said.
"Yeah. Kukui told me about a meadow in a cave where I can find these little guys." Twilight said. "We can use Rockruff's sense of smell to track it."
"Then lets do it." Indigo said as Rockruff sniffed at the ground before barking and running.
"He's got the scent. Follow him!" Twilight said.
The two chased after Rockruff before they stopped as an inland cave that seemed damp.
"Hmm. Sea salt and moss. Carracosta must be inside." Twilight said.
They progressed deep in and heard thick steps coming their way. Out of the shadows came Carracosta.
"Heya big guy. Hows the air taste after 65 million years?" Indigo said.
Carracosta looked at the two before roaring.
"Not good. It thinks we're invading its territory." Twilight said.
Carracosta fanned its arms out.
"These ancients arent much for talking." Indigo said.
"They haven't walked the earth since ancient times. They dont have the same mental capacity as the warriors of the kingdoms today." Twilight said.
"Guess less is more." Indigo said activating her armor and pulled a pokeball. "That i can respect."
Twilight drew her keyblade and pulled her own out. "Rockruff, return. Go, Steenee!" Twilight said.
"Rock and roll! Fight hard, Dhelmise!" Indigo said as from her ball came a floating wheel with a swinging anchor.
"What the…?" Twilight asked.
"I know, right? I was like that when I saw it. I fished it out by accident when trying to get a water type. Got this guy by mistake." Indigo said.
"Bzzt! Dhelmise, the Sea Creeper Pokemon! Swinging its massive anchor, it can KO Wailord in a single blow. What appears to be green seaweed is actually its body." R-dex said.
"But with specs like that, that is cool." Indigo siad. "We arent in the Alola region anymore, so lets fight with our pokemon instead of holdin back!"
"Good call, been really falling behind on Keyblade practice." Twilight said.
Twilight ran at Carracosta only striking on its shell. "Uh oh. Steenee, Magical Leaf!"
Steenee made several leaves appear as it hit Carracosta with them.
Carracosta rebounded with a Hydro Pump as Indigo took it head on with her armor.
"Nice power big guy!" Indigo said as Carracosta fired again. "Huh? What the heck is with my armor?" Indigo asked as she felt it heating up.
"That's Scald! A water type move that results in burns." Twilight said.
"Oh, snap!" Indigo said pulling back. "Dhelmise, Anchor Shot!"
Dhelmise swung its anchor before whacking Carracosta upside its head slamming it right into the cave wall.
"Nice shot. Now let's see if we can…" Indigo said as she tossed a Net Ball at Carracosta as it went inside as it started to shake. It continued to to shake before the click was heard. "Catch it, yes!"
She then popped it out. Carracosta was much more calmer now.
"Fascinating. Its name implies it was some sort of base for the turtle." Twilight said.
"Youre gonna confuse it." Indigo said. "We aint doin that, c'mon you!" Indigo said hugging Carracosta and made twilight join in.
"Uh...any reason why we're hugging this guy?" Twilight asked a little confused.
"Cause he's a member of the family now." Indigo said.
"Oh, I forgot for a second there." Twilght said.
Back with the group at the other side..
"Of all the times for Xana to attack, it had to be now. He's infected the surrounding lake with some sort of electrical beast and now we're stuck on this island and Yumi's the only one fighting." Jeremie said.
"Shes not alone, the others are there that arent registered for Kadic." Maka said.
"Right. Aileta's on her way to help them, and in the meantime, I'll use this tower to try and signal some help." Jeremie said.
"Yeah. You do that. I'm getting my lunch. I left it on the other side of the lake." Luffy said stretching to a tree on the other side as he soared over the lake. The sludge shocked him with him not feeling it as he got to his lunch.
The others just stared in surprise as he ate.
"Hmm? You guys wanted some?" Luffy asked.
"Remember? Luffy is a rubber man. That thing cant hurt him. Why?" Yosuke asked.
"Because Rubber cant conduct electricity." Naoto said.
"Wait, wouldn't the same go for Lacy than?" Titanica asked.
'Oh yeah. I've been shocked lots of times but it doesn't hurt. It tickles but doesn't hurt." Lacy said.
"Then go!" Hope said.
"Oh right! My strength!" Lacy said using her arms like a slingshot as she shot herself off the island as she soared through the air before landing right in front of the factory. "Huh? I made it? Well, what a lucky break. I was just winging it."
Before she ran down, she felt an icy presence behind her. "So, Mr Snowman came to play." she said as Freezeman stood behind her.
"I have been sent to capture the girl. You are an obstacle. You will be eliminated." Freezeman said.
"Oh? Then give it a try. I may be an Acrobat, but I don't go down…easy." Lacy said. 'I can feel his emotionless state even from here."
"Acrobatics are useless." Freezeman said as his ice spread fast as Lacy jumped.
"This guy...he doesn't even have emotions." Lacy thought. "I didn't think a robot like him would...well scratch that. But I can tell the kinds of robots like him have emotions."
Freezeman then fired icicles at her as she swung on the roof of the factory dodging each one.
"Hold still, organic!" Freezeman said.
"Come on. Crack a smile! Be happy." Lacy said.
"Smile? Happy? Both are useless concepts for this objective." Freezeman said.
"Useless? But its fun." Lacy said.
"Fun? That is also a useless concept for the objective." Freezeman said.
"You robots are just so hollow. How about I help with that?" Lacy said giving Freezeman a swift kick to the head but finding her leg froze on impact. "What the?"
"So you've noticed. It is a new ability granted by my master. Impact Freeze. If physical attacks hit me, the body part that hits me...freezes." Freezeman said.
"So thats it. I cant hit you physically. So…" Lacy said breaking the ice off. "Maybe I just use my element as an...no that's wont work."
"Your rubber abilities are useless girl." Freezeman said approached before his eyes flashed. "It appears I have been ordered to return. The pink haired one has stopped our advance."
"What? You're giving up?" Lacy asked.
"No. It is a return. The ship has been protected and our tower is deactivated." Freezeman said as he slowly walked off. "You have the chance to live another day."
Lacy just looked at him with sadness as the RTTP started up. "I know I'll see you again."
When time restarted, Lacy looked depressed as she looked out the window with a sad look on her face.
"Something wrong?" Hope asked.
"Hope, is it wrong to make someone smile and cheer up even if they have no heart and are a robot?" Lacy asked.
Hope thought about it.
"Its not wrong. If this is about freezeman… hes actually cracked a smile and shown emotion." Hope said. "When I told him his comrades were alive, he was happy they were still living."
"Well, I wanna make him smile on my own." Lacy said. "I want special permission. If we see him again in the real world...I wanna be the one to fight him."
"Granted. I've held people back long enough." Hope said. "Speaking of witch… i think its time I let you in on a techique that Luffy uses."
"What do you mean?" Lacy asked.
"Have you ever been able to access...Gear 2nd yet?" Hope asked.
"No." Lacy said. "Its not really something for acrobatics so I never have bothered to learn it."
"Figures. But you need something to counter his ice." Hope said. "And I believe you can do it."
"All right. You got it. Everyday after school and classes, I'm gonna head to the forest to focus my power. I'm making this promise right now...I'll make Freeze Man smile!" Lacy said.
