Episode 50: Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon
Preparing to take their leave Saffron City, Sora decided to make a phone call to Professor Oak to ask him some questions to indulge his curiosity. Professor Oak answered the phone and he smiled.
"Sora, good to see your face. I trust everything is going well for you?" Professor Oak asked.
"Yeah. I won six Gym Badges, but that's not the reason I'm calling," Sora said.
"Oh, it isn't?" Professor Oak asked.
"No. I have a question about these," Sora took out the items, showing him. "What can you tell me about these?" Sora asked.
"Wow. I see you got an impressive haul of power-up items," Professor Oak said. "And some evolution items as well."
"Evolution items?" Sora asked.
"Indeed. The Metal Coat is what to use to make Scyther evolve into a Scizor, and Onix to evolve into a Steelix. Also, an Upgrade to make Porygon evolve into a Porygon2, and a Dubious Porygon2 into a Porygon-Z. Also, a Dragon Scale to Seadra evolve into a Kingdra. Just how did you come across these?" Professor Oak asked.
"I got these from a kid named Steve. He handed me and Kairi these because he said he didn't need them; and right at the same time, we got Kabuto and Omanyte sent over to you," Sora said.
"Well, I must say, I was mighty amazed to see you have sent prehistoric Pokémon my way," Professor Oak said. "Where are you now?"
"Saffron City. Kairi and I are heading out to train for my Gym battle with Blaine," Sora said.
"Aw, yes. Blaine is a difficult Gym Leader as I'm sure you'll be facing," Professor Oak said.
"Yeah, that's what Nurse Joy and Karen said to me," Sora said.
"I wish you luck on your way, Sora. Keep in touch, would you?" Professor Oak asked.
"Sure," Sora said. He broke contact with Professor Oak. He met up with Kairi.
"What did he say, Sora?" Kairi asked.
"He told me that we have some power-up and evolution items with us. For example, here's a Dragon Scale to use to make Seadra evolve into a Kingdra, after evolving. Also, this Metal Coat to make Scyther evolve into a Scizor. He took out Scyther's Pokéball and threw it. Scyther came right out. "Scyther, could you hold this?" Scyther took the Metal Coat. Scyther started to evolve. Scyther has become a bipedal, insectoid Pokémon with a red, metallic exoskeleton. He has gray, retractable forewings and hind wings with simple, curved venation. His rounded head has three blunt horns extending above his forehead and eyes with dark yellow pupils. His thin, black neck connects to a black, teardrop-shaped patch on its thorax. He has broad shoulders and thin, segmented arms ending in large, round pincers, which make up a third of its body weight. He had a large, rounded abdomen with three black, chevron-shaped stripes extending from his waist down his front. His legs are defined by large hip joints, thin thighs, and wide calves, and its feet end in a clawed toe on each side. Sora took out his Pokédex and scanned his newly evolved Pokémon.
Scizor, the Pincer Pokémon
An evolved form of Scyther
Type: Bug/Steel
Scizor has a body with the hardness of steel. It is not easily fazed by ordinary sorts of attacks. This Pokémon flaps its wings to regulate its body temperature.
"Okay, Scizor. You look styling, Scizor," Sora complimented.
"Scizor," the newly evolved Scizor said.
With that said, Sora exchanged his five Pokémon for Ivysaur, Charmeleon, Wartortle, Venonat, and Pidgeotto.
On the next day, Sora and Kairi trained hard for anything coming their way, and for Team Rocket coming for Pikachu in case they try anything.
"Venonat! Use Venoshock!" Sora ordered.
"Flareon! Use Fire Fang!" Kairi ordered.
Both Pokémon launched their moves on a tree.
"Good work, Venonat," Sora said.
"Venonat," Venonat said. Venonat started to evolve. Venonat has evolved right into blue Venomoth with a light gray abdomen.
"Oh, yeah! Venomoth!" Sora said.
A few hours later, Kairi has exchanged Smoochum, Flareon, and Hitmontop for Chansey, Ponyta, and Seel. While Sora exchanged Venomoth for Slowpoke. After doing some training, Slowpoke sticks his tail in a lake as Ivysaur, Charmeleon, Wartortle, Pidgeotto, Raichu, Gloom, Chansey, Seel, and Ponyta rested as Sora and Kairi were resting their feet.
"That was quite a workout," Kairi said.
"Yeah, it sure was," Sora said. "We've been at it for hours." He took off one of his shoes. He rubbed his sore foot. "Man, my feet are pretty sore."
"You have been on your feet all day," Kairi reminded her boyfriend.
"There's that, and there's something in my shoe. It's driving me nuts," Sora said. He took out a small pebble and flicked it. "There. Much better."
Slowpoke was laying happily by the lakeside, unaware of a Shellder, looking at the white tip in the water. Quickly, Shellder swam up to Slowpoke's tail and lands a bite.
"Slow!" Slowpoke yelped, feeling it. Sora, Kairi, and the other Pokémon heard Slowpoke.
"Slowpoke, what's the matter?" Sora asked. Slowpoke raised his tail out of the water to see a Shellder on Slowpoke's tail.
"A Shellder! You know what that means, don't you, Sora?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah. Slowpoke's-" Sora was cut off as Slowpoke started to evolve. Slowpoke has now become a Slowbro. "-evolve."
"Slowbro," the newly evolved Slowbro said.
"Great. You can now walk on two legs instead of just four," Sora said.
"Slow," Slowbro said.
On the course of the next few days, Sora and Kairi were training their Pokémon hard, wanting them to be on top of their feet (not literally for the footless Pokémon). In the meantime, Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel have made their way on Evolution Mountain. It is said to have a wade selection of Evolution stones.
Upon training, they have found some evolution stones completely by accident.
One set of stones is an elliptical-shaped stone that is blue in appearance, with a bubble insignia inside of it. This is known as a Water Stone.
Another set of the stones an elliptical-shaped stone that is green in appearance, with a thunderbolt insignia inside of it. This is known as a Thunder Stone.
Another set of stones is an elliptical-shaped stone that is yellow in appearance, with a fire insignia inside of it. This is known as a Fire Stone.
Another set of stones is a green elliptical-shape stone on which the shape of a leaf is engraved. This is known as a Leaf Stone.
Another set of stones is an elliptical-shaped stone that is gray in appearance, looks somewhat like a moon rock. This is known as a Moon Stone.
Another set of stones is is orange in appearance, shaped like the sun. This is known as a Sun Stone.
Another set of stones is a round stone, sky blue in appearance, and actually looks similar to an sunburst-cut opal. This is known as a Dawn Stone.
Another set of stones is a purplish-black, irregularly-shaped stone with a dark center. This is known as a Dusk Stone.
Another set of stones is an elliptical-shaped stone that is transparent in appearance, with a ball of light inside of it. This is known as a Shiny Stone.
Another set of stones is a snowy-blue stone that shines with white light and has a snowflake pattern inside. This is known as an Ice Stone.
"Evolution stones," Kairi said.
"We should gather them up," Sora said. "I mean, this mountain has a widespread of them."
"Yeah, you're right," Kairi agreed. As they were gathering the stones, Gloom grabs a Sun Stone. Angel turned and saw what she held.
"Eevee!" Angel called out.
Sora and Kairi turned around.
"What's wrong, Angel?" Kairi asked. Gloom then started to evolve, much to Kairi's surprise. "Gloom!"
"Gloom's evolving!" Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
Gloom has become a light green Pokémon that has green and yellow petals around her waist that resembles a skirt. Upon her head, there are two bright red flowers. She has blue eyes that are circular.
"She's a Bellossom!" Kairi said, taking out her Pokédex and scanned the newly evolved Pokémon.
Bellossom, the Flower Pokémon
An evolved from of Gloom
Type: Grass
A Bellossom grows flowers more beautifully if it has evolved from a smelly Gloom-the more stinky the better. At night, this Pokémon closes its petals and goes to sleep.
"Oh, you've grown so very pretty, Bellossom," Kairi said.
"Llossom," Bellossom said.
"You sure have," Sora agreed.
Bellossom starts to dance to celebrate the occassion.
Several days later, Sora has sent Slowbro to Professor Oak's lab for Poliwhirl, also Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel were doing some walking and then took a rest when a man approached them.
"Excuse me, you two," the man said. The couple turned to the man. "I was wondering if you would be interested in taking part of an archeology expedition."
"An archeology expedition?" Sora and Kairi both asked at once.
"Yes. To discover Pokémon fossils. I'm gathering Pokémon Trainers to take up the task, and I see you two look like Pokémon Trainers to me," the man said.
"Yeah, that's about right," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"So, I'll ask you once again, you interested?" The man asked.
"Let us think about it for a moment," Kairi said.
"Of course. Take all the time you need," the man said.
Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel go in a huddle.
"What do you think, Sora?" Kairi whispered.
"Maybe we should take him up on that offer. I mean we could use a break all the training we've been doing for the last several days, and we haven't seen a single Heartless lately, so we've earned this one," Sora said.
"I guess you're right. We did earn this break. And who knows what we might find? We should answer him now," Kairi said.
"Chu," Pikachu said.
"Vee," Angel said.
The couples turned around and replied to the man.
"Okay, we'll take you up on your offer, sir," Kairi said.
"Excellent. If you would kindly come with me; we can begin our journey towards Grampa Canyon," the man said.
"Um sure," Sora said.
With that said, Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel got caught up with the archeology craze. Sora and Kairi were given shovels and other equipment to use to dig. And that was when Gary spotted them, dressed as Indiana Jones.
"Sora, I wasn't expecting to see you here," Gary said. Sora turned, and he frowned in dismay and annoyance.
"Gary. A displeasure as always," Sora said. "You got caught in the fossil dig, too, huh?"
"I was invited, yes. But I wasn't expecting a nerd like you to be caught up in this craze, since it's reserved for the best Pokémon Trainers," Gary said.
"Don't you ever shut your mouth?" A familiar voice asked. They all turned to see Riku, Naminé, and Eevee. "I mean, just once can't you not run your mouth whenever you like."
"Who asked you?" Gary asked.
"What's it to you?" Riku asked, getting into Gary's face.
"Just so you know, I have caught a wide selection of Pokémon, so how many did you catch so far?" Gary asked.
"Is that supposed to mean something?" Riku asked, not impressed. "If I asked you once, I'll ask you again; who gives a Raticate's ass if you're Professor Oak's grankid?" Gary growled in anger. He was about to give Riku a punch in the face when Sora stopped him.
"Cool it, Gary! Come on, he's not worth it!" Sora said. Gary backed up a little.
"He should just be careful with his words or else, next time he won't be so lucky," Gary said, taking off. Sora turned to Riku with a big smile.
"You were awesome, putting him in his place like that," Sora said.
"Thanks, but why did you hold him back like that?" Riku asked.
"I told him you weren't worth it. I'd say the same thing about Gary if you tried to punch him," Sora said. Riku chuckled.
"Yeah, and you'd be right," Riku said. "And I would say thanks." Sora smiled at that.
Everyone arrived to Grampa Canyon to begin digging. Sora raised a pick and rammed it to the ground hard. He kept going and going until he found something. What he found was in the shape of a dome.
"Look at that," Sora said as he pulled out the fossil. It was pretty heavy due to the size of the fossil. "This thing must have been huge when it was alive!"
"Let me see that, young man!" an expert called out holding a magnifying glass. "My, my, my. What you found is the reamins of a Kabuto! And it was indeed a big one." Sora beamed to his discovery. "So, tell me your name as I will know who made the discovery!"
"Sora Ketchum from Pallet Town," Sora answered the expert. The expert took the notes of Sora's discovery and placed the fossil on a dolly cart.
Elsewhere in the canyon, Riku and Naminé were digging in another spot when Gary. His expression turned sour at the sight of him.
"You again?!" Gary exclaimed. Riku turned to see Gary next to him.
"Don't start anything, Gary. Just don't," Riku warned Gary.
"Hey, don't you go and tell me what to do," Gary hissed at him.
"What is your problem? You know what your problem is? You have to turn everything into a competition. It's not a competition, it's a dig, so if you're not gonna be mature about it, then you have business being here," Riku said.
Gary started to get pissed off. Gary quickly shook it off and started to dig.
"Who does he think he is? Telling me where I have business and where I don't! Shows what he knows!" Gary said, digging. He eventually found one. "Ha! Success! My first fossil! How do you like them apples, Riku?" Gary taunted.
"Yay! Gary! Gary! He's the best! He found the before the rest! Go Gary!" The cheerleaders cheered.
"Actually someone else found one before you, young man," the same expert took the fossil from his hand and analyzed it looking through his magnifying glass.
"Impressive, isn't it? I found it on my first try! It looks like the brain from an extinct Pokémon," Gary said.
"No, it isn't a brain," the expert corrected Gary.
"Then what is it?" Gary asked, wanting to know what it is.
"It's fossilized Pokémon manure," the expert said making Gary fall on his side.
"Oh yuck! Gross!" The cheerleaders exclaimed disgusted.
"You girls are right, that is gross. Still, it's better than nothing," Riku said.
"It sure is," Naminé agreed.
"I don't believe this. What else could happen?" Gary asked. Gary took a look at the huge Kabuto fossil and ran right towards it. "What the?! Who found this one?"
"Some other young man around your age," the expert said. "I believe he said his name is Sora Ketchum from Pallet Town."
"WHAT?! THAT LOSER FOUND THAT HUGE FOSSIL BEFORE ME?!" Gary exclaimed. Gary shrugged and shook it off. "Whatever. I bet I can find one that's even more impressive than that one."
"You do that, Gary," Riku said as he continued digging. His shovel hit something and he dug it up and it reveals to be a skull. It looked like a reptilian Pokémon with its teeth at the bottom jaw. The expert went to Riku's discovery with amazement.
"Incredible! A skull of an Aerodactyl! Please tell me your name so I can archive this!" The expert pleaded.
"I'm Riku. I came from Iki Town on Mele Mele Island," Riku answered.
Gary was flabbergasted by the sight. Not only Sora beat him to finding the remains of a large Kabuto, but a skull of an Aerodactyl as well. Gary and his cheerleaders moved to another spot to start digging.
Meanwhile, Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel moved to another spot to start digging.
"This looks like a good spot," Sora said. He turned to Kairi. "What do you think?"
"Looks good to me," Kairi said.
"What's taking those two so long?" Meowth asked grabbing their attention. "Those humans are so undependable."
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fi-"
Meowth conks Jessie and James on the head with his small mallet.
"Cut the poetry! I bet you two clowns didn't even plant the dynamite like you were supposed to!" Meowth hissed at them. Jessie grabbed the mallet and smacks Meowth with it. Rocks fall onto Meowth burying him.
"Wrong again, flea bag!" Jessie said. "Of course we planted the dynamite."
"Once we blow blast the canyon to smithereens, we can move in and swipe all those fossils!" James added. Meowth emerged from the rubble.
"I'll make fossils out of you if you don't watch it!" Meowth yelled to them.
"Did you hear that?" Kairi asked, worried.
"Yeah, they're gonna blow up the canyon, and kill everyone down there!" Sora exclaimed. "We can't let that happen!"
"Pikachu!" Pikachu agreed.
"Kairi, you go and warn everyone about the dynamite, while Pikachu and I stop Team Rocket!" Sora said.
"Okay," Kairi said. She turned to Angel. "Come on, Angel!"
"Vee!" Angel said, running with Kairi.
"Soon, we will have all the fossils to ourselves," Meowth said, lighting the fuse.
"Stop right there!" Sora called out.
"Oh, it's that pest again!" James exclaimed.
"Always foiling up our plans!" Jessie snarled.
"You're too late this time, because the fuse is already lit," Meowth said, smirking. Sora took his two Pokéballs.
"Oh, no you don't!" Sora said tossing them. "Wartortle! Poliwhirl! Go!" The balls opens and lets out Wartortle and Poliwhirl. "Both of you! Water Gun on that fuse!"
They shot their Water Gun attacks to put out the fuse. Sora, Pikachu, and the water Pokémon went after the fuse. Team Rocket wasn't going to have that.
"Arbok! Go!" Jessie said tossing her Pokéball.
"Weezing, go! Keep that fuse lit!" James said, tossing his Pokéball.
Arbok and Weezing are let out and they went after them. Wartortle and Poliwhirl kept firing Water Gun with Team Rocket in pursuit. James tripped over a small rock, Jessie, Meowth, Arbok, and Weezing were caught in the fall and started to roll. Sora, Pikachu, Wartortle, and Poliwhirl were caught in the roll and fell off a small cliff. Pikachu got loose from the pile as the fuse was getting closer to the dynamite.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu fired Thunderbolt right at the dynamite much to Sora's horror.
"Pikachu, no!" Sora called out. The electric attack hits the dynamite. Pikachu realized the mistake he made and the dynamite exploded. The ground beneath them opens and Sora, Pikachu, and Team Rocket falls into the cavern below them screaming.
Hearing the explosion, Kairi and everyone saw rocks fall, closing up the cavern.
"Sora, Pikachu!" Kairi called out with worry.
"Eevee!" Angel added.
They saw Wartortle and Poliwhirl at the closed cavern.
"Wartortle, Poliwhirl! What happened?" Kairi asked.
"Wartortle," Wartortle said, pointing to the rocks.
"They fell in there?" Kairi asked. Poliwhirl and Wartortle nodded.
"Sora, Pikachu, don't worry. We'll have you out," Kairi said. She starts digging along with Angel, Wartortle, and Poliwhirl.
Jigglypuff arrived and saw the pillar of rocks. She thought it was a stage for her to start singing, imagining people cheering for her. Then, the rocks came down, making Jigglypuff huffed in anger.
Underneath, they found themselves in some sort of cave beneath them.
"Where are we?" James asked.
"I'm not sure," Jessie said.
"It looks like we're in the center of the earth. That dynamite must have blown a hole in the ceiling and we all fell in," Meowth said. "And now we're buried alive."
"Buried?!" Jessie and James exclaimed.
"This is all your fault, you little do-gooder!" Jessie accused.
"If you didn't try to put out that fuse, we wouldn't end up being down here!" James also accused.
"Well, at least it wasn't my idea to bring in dynamite and blow up a canyon and get innocent bystanders killed all because of your greed!" Sora snapped back at them.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu also snapped at them.
"What difference does that make whose fault is?! All that matters is getting out of here in one piece! Look up there!" Meowth said pointing to the ceiling blocked with rocks. They all looked up and saw it.
"Meowth is right. We should try to find a way out of here," Sora said. "Let's get started."
"Pi?" Pikachu's ears twitched.
"What's wrong, Pikachu?" Sora asked.
"Pika, Pika, Pika!" Pikachu said, pointing to ahead.
They all turned and saw a bunch of eyes glowing red in the distance. It didn't take long before they were completely surrounded.
"I don't think we're in here alone," Jessie said scared.
"And what gave that away?" Sora sarcastically asked.
Some of them are Kabuto and Omanyte. There were also standing on their hind legs and had sharp sickles on their arms. It has six hard spikes going down from the back of its neck, three on each side that lead down towards the beginning of its tail. Its head is covered in a rock-hard, semicircular-shaped armor. A tail protrudes from its back, bearing the same color as approximately seventy-five percent of its body. is a Pokémon similar to an ammonite. Its sky blue body has several tentacles; the tentacles toward the front are shorter and thicker than those in the back. There is a pale yellow, helix spiraled shell on its back. Several sharp spikes line the shell's midsection from the front to about halfway down its back. The shell's rim has two circular indents where its eyes are visible. Its eyes have yellow sclerae and vertically-slit pupils. It has an oval mouth with a four-sectioned, fang-like beak.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"Are those what I think they are?" Sora asked, taking out his Pokédex.
Omanyte, the Spiral Pokémon
Type: Rock/Water
Omanyte in lived in the sea during prehistoric times. It swam through the water in order to hunt for prey. It also uses its ten tentacles to fight back from attacking predators.
Omastar, the Spiral Pokémon
The evolved form of Omanyte
Type: Rock/Water
Omastar uses its tentacles to capture its prey. It is believed to have become extinct because its shell grew too large and heavy, causing its movements to become too slow and ponderous.
Kabuto, the Shellfish Pokémon
Type: Rock/Water
This Pokémon thrived 300 million years ago. Kabuto is said to emerge onto both land and sea. This Pokémon became extinct everywhere. It protects itself with its hard shell.
Kabutops, the Shellfish Pokémon
The evolved form of Kabuto
Type: Rock/Water
Kabutops swam underwater to hunt for its prey in ancient times. The Pokémon was apparently evolving from being a water dweller to living on land as evident from the beginnings of change in its gills and legs.
"I knew it. They're prehistoric Pokémon living in this cave," Sora said putting his Pokédex away. Jessie and James's faces lit up to the sight.
"This is pretty big!" James exclaimed. "We are going to be rich! We can open up our very own Jurrasic Park!"
"Even the boss will be impressed with us!" Jessie also exclaimed.
"I can have my very own talk show about this!" Meowth said, beaming.
"Don't celebrate just yet, you guys. Because they don't look happy to see us here," Sora pointed out.
"Chu," Pikachu said, sharing concern with Sora.
"And why is that?" Jessie asked.
"They look like they were living here happily, and then we came here uninvited. And they don't want us here," Sora said.
"So they think we're invading their home," James pointed out.
"Would it do any good to tell them that it was an accident?" Meowth asked.
"And what good would that do?" Sora asked.
"Oh, who cares? Let's just capture them!" Jessie said taking out a Pokéball.
"Of course!" James agreed.
"Go, Pokéball!" Jessie and James both said in unison throwing the Pokéballs. Kabutops slashes through the Pokéballs in half.
"We'll have to battle our way through," Sora said taking out his Pokéball. "Charmeleon!" Sora threw his Pokéballs. Charmeleon is let out.
"Charmeleon! Dragon Claw! Use Iron Tail!" Sora ordered as the two Pokémon slashed through some of the prehistoric Pokémon making a path. "Run for it!"
Team Rocket didn't need to be told twice since they started running along with Sora. They kept running as more and more started to appear.
Out on the surface, Riku, Naminé, and Eevee had shown up with Officer Jenny. Kairi and the others explained to them that Team Rocket were responsible for the blast and they were digging them out.
"The bulldozers can't make it through! I'll go get some help!" Officer Jenny said doing exactly that. Riku, Naminé, and Eevee joined in on the digging.
"You better be alive down there, Sora," Riku said in his thoughts. He kept in digging.
Sora and Team Rocket tried to lose the prehistoric Pokémon.
"No matter how many we take down, more kept coming!" James exclaimed.
"Stop complaining! We have to get through them if we're going to get out of here!" Jessie said.
"She's right! If we don't fight them off, we'll get killed!" Meowth agreed.
Pikachu shocked the Omanyte, Kabuto, and Omastar as they were attacking.
Charmeleon swiped at the Kabutops as they were going to swing their sickles. Suddenly a loud screeching roar was heard. The Kabuto, Kabutops, Omanyte, and Omastar stopped attacking and started to retreat.
"A miracle! It's a miracle!" Jessie beamed.
"We're alive!" James added.
"Something scared them away; and I don't think it was us," Sora said.
"Of course we scared them away," Jessie said.
"What else could be down here besides us?" James asked.
"Listen," Sora said.
Team Rocket kept quiet as they heard what sounds like flapping. Meowth, Arbok, and Weezing huddled together. Charmeleon climbed onto a rock to see what was coming.
"The twerp is right. I hear something coming this way! And that's what scared them off!" Meowth said.
The mysterious figure flying above is revealed to be a gray reptilian Pokémon that acts as a pterodactyl. It flies and hits Charmeleon on the forehead knocking him off the rock. Team Rocket were frightened by the sight of the Pokémon that appeared before them. Sora shook a little and took out his Pokédex and scanned the Pokémon.
Aerodactyl, the Fossil Pokémon
Type: Rock/Flying
Aerodactyl has been called the tyrannosaurus rex of the skies. This vicious Pokémon is said to have flown in ancient skies while shrieking high-pitched cries. Aerodactyl is a vicious predator.
"It sure looks vicious to me," Sora said, putting his Pokédex away.
"Does that mean we're on the menu?" James questioned.
"It sure seems that way," Jessie said.
"I hope it doesn't like cat food!" Meowth shivered in fear.
Aerodactyl flies down the rock it perched on to attack. Sora, Pikachu, and Team Rocket started to run for their lives as Aerodactyl chases them.
"Sora!" Kairi called through the rocks. "Can you hear me?!"
"Yeah! Get us out of here! And hurry up!" Sora called back. Aerodactyl come back down and picks Sora up in its claw and flies towards the rocks above. Pikachu and Charmeleon, jumps onto Aerodactyl's tail. Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Eevee, Angel, and everyone else kept on digging.
"I think I hear something," Naminé said.
"We better move!" Riku stated.
Everyone moved out of the way as Aerodactyl flew out still carrying Sora. Pikachu and Charmeleon fell and let go of Aerodactyl's tail.
"Pikachu! Charmeleon! Torracat! Where's Sora?" Kairi asked.
"Pika!" Pikachu pointed. Everyone got wide-eyed at what they saw.
"Holy crap! An Aerodactyl!" One Trainer exclaimed.
"That's not possible," another Trainer said.
"Sora!" Kairi called out. Aerodactyl landed holding Sora in its claw. Charmeleon stared at Aerodactyl.
"Look at what you did, you flying lizard!" - Charmeleon subtitle.
Aerodactyl gave Charmeleon an eyelid taunt infuriating Charmeleon. All of a sudden, Charmeleon started to evolve. Everyone was caught off guard by Charmeleon's burst of evolution.
Charmeleon had now evolved into a Charizard and let out a Flamethrower after evolving. Charizard then started to fly in the air for the very first time.
"Charmeleon has just evolved into a Charizard," Kairi said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"Eevee, vee," Angel said.
Aerodactyl flew off still carrying Sora as Charizard flew after Aerodactyl. Charizard fired Flamethrower at Aerodactyl and then hits Sora.
"Whose side are you on?!" Sora called out.
Charizard flew after Aerodactyl, but eventually he caught up with the prehistoric Pokémon swiping at Aerodactyl with his Dragon Claw. Aerodactyl dropped its prey as he began plummeting to his doom. All of his friends gasped at the sight.
"Sora!" Kairi called out in horror.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu also called out in fright.
Kairi covered her eyes not wanting to see her boyfriend fall to his death. Riku, Naminé, Eevee, Angel, and everyone all kept watching. But luckily, Charizard swoops under him and flies back up in the air.
"He's okay!" Riku said. Kairi uncovered her eyes and saw he was okay.
"What a relief," Kairi said feeling her fears disappear.
"Thanks for the save, Charizard!" Sora said as Charizard gave off a loud roar. "Now let's get that Aerodactyl! Use Dragon Claw again!" Charizard flew towards Aerodactyl and gave a hard swipe at the Aerodactyl. "Fire Fang!" Charizard's fangs emitted fire and bit Aerodactyl at the neck. Aerodactyl fought back hitting Charizard on the side letting go. "Now use Wing Attack!" Charizard charged at Aerodactyl hitting it with his wings. "Flamethrower!" Charizard fired his Flamethrower right at Aerodactyl. Aerodactyl fell to the ground. Sora took out a Pokéball and threw it at the fallen prehistoric Pokémon. Aerodactyl flows inside the Pokéball. It wobbles around and around for a bit. Sora knew Aerodactyl wasn't going to be easy to contain. Stars swirls around the Pokéball confirming the catch. "Gotcha! I got myself an Aerodactyl!" Sora's Pokémon Box goes off asking him if he wants to keep Aerodactyl with him or send it to Professor Oak's lab. He sends the newly captured Pokémon to Professor Oak's lab.
"I don't believe it! He caught that Aerodactyl?!" Gary exclaimed in disbelief.
Jigglypuff shows up and starts singing to the huge crowd thinking she has a huge audience. Everyone starts falling asleep. Jigglypuff stopped singing and saw everybody asleep through the song. Sora and Charizard got drowsy and fell asleep as well, but not before Sora rolls over and stops in front of an egg. The egg had red and blue shapes. Jigglypuff stopped singing and sees everyone sleeping. Jigglypuff huffed in anger and starts doodling on everyone's faces.
Everyone soon woke up and Officer Jenny stood before everyone.
"Some of you are claiming to seen a prehistoric Pokémon right here in the canyon! That is plain ridiculous! It was only a dream, caused by Jigglypuff's song! Also, further more, no more digging will be permitted due to further cave-ins!" Officer Jenny announced. Sora and Kairi grinned to each other, and lightly chuckled at the doodles on their faces, they knew it wasn't a dream. Sora didn't claim to catch Aerodactyl, even if there were witnesses, because he figured Officer Jenny wouldn't believe him even if he said it.
"That Aerodactyl didn't seem like a dream to me," Gary said. He quickly shook it off. "Aw, who cares?"
After washing off the ink of the marker, Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel walked out of Grampa Canyon.
"That was a great catch, Sora," Kairi said. "You could have told Officer Jenny the truth."
"I know, but she wouldn't believe it," Sora said.
"You're right. She wouldn't," Kairi said.
"And one more thing," Sora said, taking the egg out of his backpack. "I found this egg when I woke up."
"An egg?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah. I thought it would be a good idea to take it along, since no one was gonna claim it," Sora said. "And I think I should hand it off to you."
"You sure, Sora?" Kairi asked her boyfriend.
"I'm sure. Besides, you'll do a whole lot better at raising it than I would," Sora said.
"Thank you, Sora," Kairi said. "But I could use some help in raising the egg, if you don't mind."
"Not at all. Just ask," Sora said. Kairi smiled at that. "But something's bugging me right now."
"What's that?" Kairi asked.
"I wonder if Team Rocket made it out of there okay," Sora said.
"I'm sure they're okay, Sora. Besides, knowing them, they'll make themselves known," Kairi said.
"Yeah, you're right. They should have found their way out by now anyway," Sora said.
Speaking of which, the prehistoric Pokémon were asleep as Team Rocket were trying make their way out without waking any of them up.
"Carefully. Carefully. Don't make a sound. Don't even sneeze," Meowth whispered. James sneezed waking the prehistoric Pokémon up and chasing them once again.
Team Rocket kept running and running until they all fell into a flowing river and got washed off in the currents. The Kabuto, Kabutops, Omanyte, and Omastar would have continued to chase after them, but they saw no point in chasing them since the current was too strong anyway and they were pretty sleepy. They got washed out and fell through a waterfall.
"IT LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET IS SPLASHING OFF AGAIN!"
They fell into the lake below and got washed ashore. James spat some water out his mouth.
"I don't know how we did it, but I'm just glad we got out of that mess," James said panting.
"Me too," Jessie said also panting.
"Me three," Meowth said also panting.
"At least the worse is over," Jessie said, but it became too premature when a bunch of angry Pinsir came out of the woods and clamping their pincers.
"Maybe not," Meowth said.
The Pinsir started to chase Team Rocket, but they eventually caught up and started to give them a brutal toss.
"This is not how it happened in the anime!" Jessie exclaimed.
"Why do we always have to have such bad luck?!" James also exclaimed.
"Please let this chapter end so we don't end up being someone else's punching bag!" Meowth pleaded.
