Episode 103: For Crying Out Loud!
We open to a scene with Riku, Naminé, and Eevee as they made a stop for the night.
"This is a good place as any," Riku said.
"Vee," Eevee agreed.
"I guess you're right," Naminé said. "My feet were starting to get sore." Riku went up to Naminé and took off one of her shoes and rubbed her feet. He did it pretty gently.
"Does that feel good?" Riku asked.
"It does," Naminé said. "You're pretty gentle."
"I'll have to tell you that I'm not really a foot person," Riku said.
Riku rubbed Naminé's foot as gently as he could go. Eevee sniffed around for a bit and he spotted something. It was a blue egg with white polka dots. Eevee turned to Riku and Naminé and ran up to them.
"Eevee! Eevee! Eev! Eevee! Vee!" Eevee ran up to the couple to get their attention.
"What is it, Eevee?" Riku asked. Eevee gestures Riku to follow him only to find the egg. "Is this what you wanted me to see?"
"Vee!" Eevee nodded.
"Naminé, you should see this," Riku said.
"What is it, Riku?" Naminé asked. "Oh my! An egg!" Naminé's heart melted at the sight of the egg. "What could it be doing here?"
"Maybe someone must have abandoned it here or something," Riku guessed.
Naminé picked up the egg and held it.
"Don't worry, little egg. I won't leave you," Naminé said. "I promise that I'll never leave you."
Riku knew Naminé was going to have her very first Pokémon of her own soon enough.
A whole day has passed since Tracey has joined Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, and Togepi in their journey in the Johto region. Along the way, they have come along a small pond. In the pond is a round, blue mouse Pokémon. It has circular ears with pink insides. There are two white dots on its cheeks, and it has black eyes. Its thin, black, zigzagging tail has a large blue ball at the end about the same size as its body. Sora took out his Pokédex and scanned the Pokémon.
Azurill, the Polka Dot Pokémon
Type: Normal/Fairy
It's a Pokémon that lives by water. It moves quickly on land by bouncing on its big tail.
"So cute," Kairi cooed as Sora puts his Pokédex away.
"You're right," Sora agreed.
"And there. One of my finest," Tracey said, finishing the sketch. Sora and Kairi looked and they saw how he captured the moment. It was an amazing gift Tracey had. They took their leave of the pond, but the Azurill looked at Sora and became interested. Azurill started to follow them.
A little while later, Sora, Kairi, Tracey, Pikachu, Angel, and Togepi stopped to have a meal. Venonat and Marill ate with the other Pokémon. He was amazed by the couple carrying more than six Pokémon at time and by healthy the Pokémon looked.
"There's plenty to go around, Marill and Venonat," Kairi said.
"I must admit, your Pokémon are amazingly healthy. The Pokémon food you made for them is excellent," Tracey said.
"It's a gift she always had," Sora said.
"Stop it, Sora," Kairi said, blushing.
"I mean it, Kairi. Anything you make tastes always great," Sora said. Kairi blushes some more.
"Well, I have to say, your cooking is great," Tracey said.
"Thank you, Tracey," Kairi said.
They talked Team Rocket hijacked a truck and tied up the driver and the passenger.
"This plan is rather brilliant, if I do say so myself," Jessie said.
"As long as Heartless and Nobodies stays out of our hair, it'll be smooth sailing for us," Meowth said.
Just then, a Creeper jumps on the windshield.
"Spoke too soon," James said. They crashed against a tree.
Several Nobodies appeared from out of nowhere. These Nobodies all have large, humanoid bodies with long yellow spikes for hands and feet. They wear dark gray body suits with white straps wrapping around their chests. Their sleeves flare out wide and end in a pointed fringe reminiscent of a crown. They have gray hoods with the Nobody emblem on the front, and a white scarf around their throats. They wear a gray sash belt that drapes down at the front nearly to the floor. Above their spike feet, they wear dark gray chaps with portions of the Nobody emblem which fade from yellow to white. These Nobodies are known as Ninjas. Dusks and Creepers appeared as well.
"Great! Nobodies!" Jessie growled.
"So much for smooth sailing," James said.
"We'll have to get rid of these guys!" Meowth said, readying his claws.
"Right!" Jessie and James each took out a Pokéball and threw them.
"Arbok! I choose you!" Jessie called out.
"Go! Weezing!" James called out.
Their Pokéballs opened and they came right out to battle the Nobodies. The Ninjas threw seven kunai at the Team Rocket Pokémon. Arbok and Weezing were struck by the kunai. The Dusks and Creepers struck the Poison-type Pokémon hard. Arbok and Weezing forced themselves back in their Pokéballs.
"This isn't supposed to happen!" James said. Jessie growled.
"What is your problem?! Why are you freaks getting in our way?!" Jessie yelled.
The Nobodies just disappeared just like they appeared.
Back to Sora, Kairi, Tracey, Pikachu, Angel, and Togepi in a few hours later, they passed by a beautiful looking lake town.
"Look at this place. It's real pretty here," Kairi said.
"It sure is. A town this nice is definitely a good place to live in since it's across a gorgeous lake," Sora said. He took Kairi by the hand. Rustling in the bushes is heard behind them. The couple figured it had to be either the Heartless or the Nobodies. Slowly and carefully, Sora picked up a small rock and threw it in the bushes. A small squeak is heard "Huh?" A Marill came with a pink ribbon tied to its tail came out.
"It's a Marill," Tracey said.
"False alarm then," Sora said. Tears swells up in Marill's eyes and then started to cry. And it was a very loud cry. Sora, Kairi, Tracey, Pikachu, Angel, and Togepi covered their ears. "WHEN PEOPLE SAY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, I NEVER EXPECTED THIS LOUD!"
"WE GOTTA GET MARILL TO STOP CRYING!" Tracey yelled.
"HOW?!" Kairi yelled.
"MAKE A FUNNY FACE! ANYTHING!" Tracey yelled. They tried to make some funny faces, trying to get Marill to calm down. Kairi picks it up and lifts her up. Marill then stops crying and laughed.
""There, there. Upsie daisy," Kairi said. "There, there. Who's a happy girl? Who's a happy girl?"
"That's a relief," Tracey said.
"Boy, I'll say," Sora said, digging his finger into his ear to get his hearing back. He walked up to Kairi and smiled to see his girlfriend win over another Pokémon.
"I think this Marill belongs to someone," Kairi pointed out looking at the ribbon on her tail. Sora looked at the ribbon.
"Hey, you're right. That bow does give it away," Sora said. "Sorry about throwing that rock at you. I didn't know you were a Marill." The blue mouse Pokémon cried loud again. "I SAID I WAS SORRY!"
"I DON'T THINK SORRY WAS GOING TO DO IT!" Tracey yelled. "KAIRI KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING!" Kairi did exactly that as she got Marill to stop crying again.
"There, there," Kairi said calming Marill down. "I think she's scared of you, Sora."
"I was only being nice," Sora said.
"Why did you throw that rock, Sora?" Tracey asked. Before Sora could answer, several Heartless appeared. The horde of Heartless consisted of Red Nocturnes, Blue Rhapsodies, Yellow Operas, Green Requiems, Silver Rocks, Emerald Blues, and a large Heartless that shares their design. has a smooth, conical, red body with a Heartless emblem emblazoned on its chest and a yellow flame pattern decorating the base of its body. The top of its body flares outward and forms a jagged "collar" below the Heartless's spherical, pitch black head. It also wears a conical, red hat that is yellow on the inside and has a jagged brim and a thin, curled tip. Like many Heartless, it has glowing yellow eyes. Its seemingly useless feet sport three small, thin toes. This Heartless is known as the Crimson Jazz.
"Heartless!" Sora exclaimed, summoning the Kingdom Key. Kairi placed Marill down and summoned her Destiny's Embrace and held it tight.
"Stay behind me, Marill!" Kairi said, holding her Keyblade.
The Heartless came at the couple, so they slashed at some of the Heartless, so the Emerald Blues forms air around them and came at them. The Silver Rocks swooped at Sora, but he slashed at the attacking Silver Rocks when he noticed a Crimson Jazz coming behind Pikachu who shocked the Blue Rhapsodies and Red Nocturnes. He avoided the Green Requiems and Yellow Operas because he remembered they can absorb his electricity.
"Pikachu! Behind you!" Sora exclaimed. Pikachu turned and saw a fireball follow Pikachu. He tried to avoid it, but it kept on following him until an explosion occurs, blowing Pikachu and Marill down the hill. "Pikachu! Marill!" Sora ran after the two mouse Pokémon and he grabbed them both, but he fell off the cliff when he did. Sora and the two mouse Pokémon fell in the water. Kairi, Tracey, Angel, and Togepi saw Sora fall.
"Sora!" Kairi exclaimed in shock. Kairi and Tracey ran in the direction they fell, only for the remaining Heartless to block their way. "Get out of the way!" Kairi raised her Keyblade and creates an orb of light. The orb of light explodes when it struck the attacking Heartless, destroying them. Kairi, Tracey, Angel, and Togepi saw Sora in the river with Pikachu and Marill. "Sora!"
"I'll be okay! I'll try to find a way back!" Sora exclaimed.
"Sora, Pikachu, Marill!" Kairi called out.
"They're heading down stream, so we should follow them," Tracey said.
"You're right. Let's go," Kairi agreed. Before they got started, they saw a girl wearing a pink dress and a yellow bow along with red shoes with teal hair and blue eyes carrying a parasol came rushing down the hill leaving behind a dust cloud with every step. She pants to catch her breath. "Something we can help you with, miss?"
"You can help me by telling me what did you do with my little Marill, you Pokémon thieves?" The girl demanded.
"Pokémon thieves?" Tracey asked.
"That Marill is yours?" Kairi asked.
"I heard you talking about my Marill, so where is she?" The girl asked "What did you do to my Pokémon?"
"Trying to protect her, I swear. My boyfriend was trying to save her when some creatures attacked and they got washed down the river," Kairi explained.
"It's true, miss. We were going to find out who that Marill belonged to," Tracey said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"You mentioned creatures before. Did they have yellow eyes?" The girl asked.
"They did," Kairi confirmed.
"I was hearing rumors about them, but I have never seen them," the girl said. "I'm sorry for accusing you. My name is Wilhomena."
"I'm Tracey," Tracey introduced himself.
"And I'm Kairi, and these are Angel and Togepi," Kairi introduced. "We'll help you look for your Marill."
"I'd appreciate it," Wilhomena said.
Down river, Sora, Pikachu, and Marill were washed up by the shore.
"I'd call it a 3 for style for that dive," Sora said as Pikachu shakes himself dry. "I don't know about you, but I think I would rather face Team Rocket again than deal with the Heartless again."
"Pika," Pikachu agreed.
"But at least they're gone," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said. Marill then starts crying again.
"HEY! CUT OUT THE WATER WORKS! I'M WET ENOUGH AS IT IS!" Sora yelled, covering his ears. He picked up Marill, trying to calm her down, but she ran off, crying. "Marill, come back! Don't run away!" Marill tripped and threw another fit. He and Pikachu were unaware of the ribbon left behind. "Here, calm down, Marill. Don't cry." Marill slapped his hand. "Ow! Hey, what's your problem? I was only trying to help! The least you could be is grateful!" Marill looked at him sternly. "You are such a little crybaby, you know that? But Pikachu and I can help you get back home. Would you like that?" Marill looked at him, unsure if she should trust him. "I promise, you'll be back home. I mean whoever is out there is probably looking for you." He thought for a moment and he took out his Pokédex. "Maybe Dexter can help out." He scanned Marill with his Pokédex.
Marill, the Aqua Mouse Pokémon
The evolved form of Azurill
Type: Water/Fairy
Its sensitive ears can detect distant sounds. When fishing for food at the edge of a fast-running stream, Marill wraps its tail around the trunk of a tree. This Pokémon's tail is flexible and configured to stretch.
"That's right. Like Tracey's Marill, you have sensitive hearing, so you should be able to hear your Trainer calling out for you. It's worth a shot, right?" Sora asked, putting his Pokédex away.
"Marill?" Marill asked.
"It's better than nothing. Try to listen. You'll never know unless you try, Marill. Give those ears of yours a good hearing," Sora said. Marill got started listening for her Trainer. "That's it! Put those little ears to work!" Marill kept on trying and trying, but it was taking longer than Tracey's Marill. "Must be a late bloomer. The younger ones must take a while." Marill kept on trying and trying, but gave up. "Okay, that didn't go as planned." Marill then started crying loudly again. "WHAT'S THE MATTER NOW?!" He tried to calm down Marill, but he has no such luck. "I FEEL LIKE THE ONE WHO OUGHT TO BE CRYING!"
Down the river, Kairi, Tracey, Wilhomena, Angel, and Togepi walked down the river, hoping Sora, Pikachu, and Marill have washed up on shore.
"Sora will take good care of your Marill, Wilhomena, you'll see," Kairi assured her.
"She's right. I only knew him for a short time and I can tell he'll do a great job," Tracey said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"It's all my fault," Wilhomena said. Kairi and Tracey stopped and turned to her.
"Your fault? What do you mean?" Kairi asked.
"I should never have let little Marill out of my sight for a second," Wilhomena said.
"You shouldn't blame yourself," Kairi said.
"This is the first time Marill has been on her own. She evolved from an Azurill just a few days ago and she's still just a baby," Wilhomena said. "She could wonder around out here for days or even weeks out here and never find her way home. Or worse, those awful monsters could get her. And I could never see a poor little Marill ever again." Wilhomena started crying. Kairi knew how she felt. She'd feel the same way if it was Togepi in that exact situation.
"I feel for you, Wilhomena. If my Togepi got lost, I would end up pulling out my own hair, trying to find him," Kairi said. Wilhomena looked at her.
"Really?" Wilhomena asked.
"I would. But if that ever happened, Sora would do whatever he could to calm me down," Kairi said. Togepi saw something by the shore and jumped right out of Kairi's arms. "Togepi, where are you going?" Togepu sees the ribbon and picked it up and waved it.
"Toge, Toge, Toge, Toge!" Togepi chirped.
"That's my little Marill's ribbon!" Wilhomena said.
"Good job, Togepi! You are so smart!" Kairi praised the Spike Ball Pokémon.
"If the ribbon's here, then Sora, Pikachu, and Marill aren't too far," Tracey said.
Over to Sora, Pikachu, and Marill, they took a small break while Pikachu and Marill ate some Pokémon food Kairi had just made. Marill instantly liked the Pokémon food instantly.
"Eat up, you two. You'll need the energy to keep on going. Not a good idea to stay in one place too long because we'll never know when trouble will show up," Sora said. A wild Butterfree comes flying by and Marill playfully chases it. "Marill, wait! Don't wonder off!" Marill follows the wild Butterfree to a small meadow. Marill fires Water Gun right at the Butterfree. The wild Butterfree ducks with each time Marill shoots Water Gun. Sora and Pikachu caught up with the Aqua Mouse Pokémon at last. "There you are," Sora sighed with relief. She picks Marill up in her arms. "Were you getting a little target practice, Marill?"
"Marill! Marill!" Marill said.
"You certainly have good aim there, Marill," Sora said. Pikachu looked at the meadow worriedly.
"Pi-ii-Pika," Pikachu said feeling scared and backing away. Sora looked at the yellow Mouse Pokémon.
"What's wrong, Pikachu?" Sora asked. Pikachu just points so Sora turned to the meadow and he saw Caterpie and Weedle soaking wet. "Caterpie and Wee-" Sora paused in the middle of the sentence. "And if there are Weedle, then there are..." Sora was right to worry because a swarm of angry Beedrill buzzed out of the meadow. Sora screamed. "BEEDRILL!"
"PIKA!" Pikachu also exclaimed.
Sora ran while carrying Marill as did Pikachu. Not one of them wanted to get stung by the Beedrill.
Over to Sora, Tracey, Wilhomena, Angel, and Togepi they come across the log. Illima turned to Wilhomena.
"That jump gets very tricky in those shoes. Why don't you let me help you down," Tracey offered.
"Oh, Tracey, you're such a gentleman," Wilhomena said. She took that one step causing her to slip. Tracey manages to catch her.
"Are you okay? You're not hurt or anything are you?" Tracey asked.
"I'm fine," Wilhomena said.
"I'm glad," Tracey said, blushing.
Kairi, Angel, and Togepi looked around for Sora and Pikachu when they heard a yell in the distance.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted, making Kairi stop.
"Pikachu?" Kairi asked.
"Eevee!" Angel said.
Kairi got wide-eyed as he realized what that means.
"Sora!" Kairi happily said.
"Toge?" Togepi chirped.
"Eevee!" Angel yelled.
Sora and Pikachu came running their way, much to the joy of Kairi and Angel.
"Sora, Pikachu!" Kairi said.
"Eevee, vee!" Angel said, running to her significant other.
"I'm coming, Marill!" Wilhomena exclaimed. Tracey followed when the Beedrill were seen right behind them. Tracey and the girls stopped in their place when they saw the Beedrill coming, so they turned right around and ran. Wilhomena tripped as did Kairi and Tracey. Sora and Pikachu ran past them, but Angel went after the boys.
"Angel, come back!" Kairi called out.
"Get down, Kairi!" Tracey said. The Beedrill went over them.
Sora, Pikachu, and Angel kept running as Marill thought it was a fun game they were playing.
"You wouldn't be laughing if all those Beedrill stung us with those stingers!" Sora exclaimed. They came to the bottom of the cliff. "It's a dead end!"
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
"Eevee!" Angel said.
"Okay, no more running! Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt on those Beedrill now!" Sora ordered. Pikachu jumped and gave the Beedrill quite a shock, forcing the Beedrill to retreat back to their nest. Sora sighed in relief. "Whew! That was close." He noticed Angel with him and his partner. "Angel? What are you doing here?"
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Pika!" Pikachu said as he and Angel embraced each other and nuzzled each other with so much affection.
"Just glad you two lovebirds are back together. That means Kairi and Tracey are nearby, along with Marill's Trainer. Things are finally looking up!" Sora said. A rain is felt and clouds forms in the sky. It then starts to rain. "Or not."
Over to Kairi, Tracey, Wilhomena, and Togepi, they went under a tree to get out of the rain.
"I hope Angel is doing okay," Kairi said.
"Don't worry. She's your Pokémon, so I'm sure Angel will be just fine no matter what happens," Tracey said.
"You're right, Tracey," Kairi said.
Meanwhile, Azurill hops around, looking for Sora and then thunder crashes and lightning follows. Azurill hops in the bushes, scared.
Back with Kairi, Tracey, Wilhomena, and Togepi, the Spike Ball Pokémon ends up being scared as did Wilhomena.
"Don't be scared, Togepi. The scary lightning will go away," Kairi said.
Over to Sora, Pikachu, Angel, and Marill, they found a hollow tree and went in it.
"We'll be nice and dry in here until the rain stops," Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"We'll head back out as soon as the storm is over," Sora said. Lightning crashes, scarring Marill. "It's alright, Marill. Don't be scared." Marill cried loudly again, making him and the Pokémon couple cover their ears. "STOP CRYING, MARILL! STOP CRYING!" Marill started to run off in the rain. "Marill, wait! Come back! Come back!" Marill kept on running and lightning strikes a tree in front of her. "Get out of the way! Hurry!" Marill was too scared to move when the tree started to come down. "Marill!" He dove in and grabbed her. Pikachu and Angel ran up to them and saw Sora and Marill roll in the dirt. "That was close."
"Marill," Marill said. Sora's face turned into a stern face.
"You could have been hurt really badly, Marill!" Sora scolded. Marill's face turned sad, but Sora just smiled. Marill was surprised by the sudden smile. "But you weren't hurt. And I'm glad you weren't. Being attacked by Heartless is a normal thing with me, but can't say the same with you. If they do come back, just know I'm going to be here to protect you. I'm not going to let anything happen to you under my watch. I promise." Marill looked at him and suddenly hugged him. Sora smiled some more. "I guess I'm not so scary anymore."
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
They made it to a rope bridge. Sora, Pikachu, Angel, and Marill slowly walks on it, knowing any careless move will make the bridge rock. Just then a green hand on a mechanical hand appeared from the trees and starts to shake the bridge.
"What's going on?! Why is the bridge shaking?!" Sora exclaimed. He got his answer when Team Rocket came floating in their balloon.
"You know the old saying, James," Jessie said.
"You always hurt the ones you glove," James said with a pun.
"Not now! Not now!" Sora groaned in annoyance.
"Yes, now! Yes, now!" Meowth said. "Shake him up, Jimmy-Boy!"
"Palms away!" James said, sending another mechanical hand at Pikachu, but he quickly destroys the hand with Iron Tail. "Hey, that's not supposed to happen!"
"Just grab Marill and we'll try again!" Jessie said.
"On it!" Meowth said, using the mechanical hand, but Sora quickly summoned his Oathkeeper and he swings at it, shattering the mechanical hand.
"You should've kept your hand to yourselves," Sora taunted, dismissing the Oathkeeper. Jessie growled in frustration.
"I hate Keyblades so much!" Jessie growled.
"That is definitely not in the script! The author has no respect for us bad guys!" James exclaimed.
"When will you ever learn? Pikachu isn't up for grabs!" Sora said.
"We'll never learn!" Meowth said.
"We'll never learn our lesson!" James yelled
"There is no way we will ever learn not to mess with you!" Jessie yelled.
"Thanks so much for proving my point," Sora said.
"Sora!" A familiar voice called out. Sora smiled.
"Well, look who came!" Sora said.
"Marill!" Wilhomena cried.
"Better get a move on," Sora said as he, Pikachu, Angel, and Marill made to the other side. Kairi then gave Sora a tight hug.
"Sora, I was so worried about you!" Kairi said.
"Sorry, Kairi. I couldn't let anything happen to Marill," Sora said.
"I know, your heart's in the right place," Kairi said.
"Oh, my little Marill is safe!" Wilhomena cried.
"Marill!" Marill said.
"Hold it!" Jessie yelled as the balloon lands on the ground in front of them. "We're not done here! We're not going without noth of those Pokémon!" They each took out a Pokéball and threw them.
"Go! Weezing!" James shouted.
"Arbok! Go!" Jessie called out.
Arbok and Weezing both came out of their Pokéballs, ready to go.
"You morons aren't getting anything!" Sora said, taking out his Pokéballs and threw them. "Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Gligar, Natu, Yanma, Sudowoodo, Hoothoot, Phanpy, Teddiursa, Wooper!" His Pokéballs opened and they came out to battle against Team Rocket. "You're gonna have to work hard to take us down!"
"Arbok! Use Wrap!" Jessie ordered.
"Weezing! Use Double Hit!" James ordered.
Both Team Rocket charge right at Sora's Pokémon.
"Totodile, Wooper! Water Gun!" Sora ordered. Totodile and Wooper fired Water Gun, washing them in it.
"Weezing! Use Sludge Bomb!" James ordered. Weezing fired sludge at the Pokémon, but they dodged.
"Yanma! Use Gust to blow it away!" Sora ordered. Yanma blew the sludge away.
"Arbok! Use Wrap on that Yanma!" Jessie ordered. Arbok flew to wrap his body around Yanma.
"Detect!" Sora ordered. Yanma dodges Arbok's Wrap. "Teddiursa, Phanpy! Use Tackle!" Teddiursa and Phanpy used a double Tackle onto Arbok.
"Weezing! Use Sludge Bomb again!" James ordered. Weezing spews another Sludge Bomb.
"Natu! Use Omnious Wind!" Sora ordered. Natu flapped her little wings and blew the sludge and hits Weezing in the face.
"Arbok! Use Poison Sting!" Jessie ordered. Arbok fired Poison Sting at the Pokémon.
"Chikorita! Use Razor Leaf to block!" Sora ordered. Chikorita fired her Razor Leaf, blocking Arbok's attack. "Cyndaquil! Use Flamethrower!" Cyndaquil fires Flamethrower, burning them up. "Gligar, Hoothoot! Wing Attack!" Hoothoot and Gligar flew at Arbok and Weezing, hitting them both. "You give up?"
"Never!" James yelled.
"Team Rocket knows not the meaning of give up!" Jessie said.
"You can't get rid of us that easily!" Meowth said.
"They still want to keep going?" Tracey asked.
"Seems like it to me," Kairi said.
"Marill," Marill said.
"What is with you? You're losing against twelve Pokémon, so if you want to get out of humiliation, now is the time!" Sora said.
"I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP! THERE'S NO FORCE ON EARTH THAT'S GOING TO MAKE ME QUIT! ARBOK! POISON STING ON THE TWERP!" Jessie ordered. Arbok fired Poison Sting at Sora, much to his surprise. Marill jumped into action and fired Water Gun, washing Poison Sting away.
"I guess I needed saving this time," Sora said with a smile.
"Marill!" Marill said.
"We're not losing today!" Jessie said.
"It's 2 for 1 day!" James said.
"I don't think so!" Sora said. "Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" Pikachu unleashed Thunderbolt, shocking Team Rocket and sending them back to their balloon. It explodes and sends them flying in the air.
"TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" Team Rocket exclaimed as they go flying in the air. A star twinkles in the distance.
"Just for the record, I tried to reason with them, but they should have thought of that before they decided to fight dirty," Sora said.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu said.
"Marill!" Marill said.
Just then, Sora's Pokémon went up to Marill and smiled. Sudowoodo picked Marill up and held her high. Wilhomena smiled, seeing how Marill has made some new friends.
"It looks like you've made a lot of new friends for yourself, Marill," Wilhomena said.
"Marill," Marill said.
The sun starts to set as Sora, Kairi, Tracey, Pikachu, Angel, and Togepi got ready to take off.
"I can't thank you enough, Sora. Thank you so much for taking good up my Marill," Wilhomena said.
"You're welcome, Wilhomena," Sora said.
"We're just glad you're back together," Kairi said.
"But I would have liked to have that interview with that talking Meowth," Tracey said.
"Trust me, you're better off not getting it," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
Marill looked at Sora, not wanting Sora to leave. Sora looked at Marill and he rubs her head.
"Hey, don't cry. I won't forget about you, Marill. And I know you won't forget about me. So, I got something for you," Sora said, taking out a small figurine of a knight. "When you look at this knight, just think of me." Marill smiled. "No more crying from now on, okay?"
"Marill," Marill said, staying strong for Sora.
"That's a good girl," Sora said.
"Marill," Marill said.
"Are you sure you have to go? I would appreciate it if you could stay in my lake house," Wilhomena said.
"Thank you, but we can't stay," Kairi said.
"We still have a lot adventure ahead of us," Tracey said.
"I understand. Thank you all," Wilhomena said, entering the limo and drove off. Inside, Marill took one last look at Sora who just nodded. Marill looked at the knight figurine in her hands and she instantly thought of Sora. She just smiled and tears formed in her eyes, but she didn't cry loudly like she used to. Wilhomena looked at Marill and saw the tears. She knew Sora had something to do with it.
"Marill is not a crybaby anymore after today," Sora said.
"Not after spending some time with you, Sora. There is no heart you can't touch," Kairi said. Sora smiled.
"I really missed you when we were apart because of those Heartless," Sora said.
"I missed you more. But I knew you were strong," Kairi said.
"Thinking of you, kept me strong," Sora said, kissing each other. Tracey blushed a bit and looked the other way. They parted lips and they took off. Azurill found them and keeps on following them.
After being apart for a short time, Sora and Kairi's love has grown stronger, and it keeps growing stronger than ever in each passing day. Also, Sora has touched the heart of a Marill. The story continues on.
