Episode 187: Hocus Pokémon
A day came and went since bumping into Professor Oak and exposing Team Rocket for using his identity for their own selfish desires. The plus side is, Sora got to see Professor Oak again.
They continued on their way towards Blackthorn City, but they're soon greeted by a tanned skinned couple in their mid-teens.
"Look at what we'e got here; we got a couple of kids coming our way," the tanned skinned teenaged girl said.
"Um, there are three more of us right here!" Leaf pointed out.
"I don't think they care about us," Tracey said.
"I don't think the even noticed us," Ash said.
"So, what brings you two out here?" The tanned skinned teenage boy asked.
"We're heading right for Blackthorn City," Sora answered.
"Blackthorn City? So, you're heading there for a Gym battle," the tanned skinned teenaged boy pointed out.
"And what about you? Are you his little cheerleader?" The tanned skinned girl asked Kairi.
"Maybe, maybe not," Kairi countered.
"We challenge the both of you into a battle!" The couple said, taking out a Pokéball. Sora and Kairi took out a Pokéball as well.
"You're on!" Sora and Kairi said, accepting the challenge.
Go! Snubbull!" The tanned skinned teenaged girl shouted as she threw her Pokéball. It opens and lets out her Snubbull.
"Move right in, Granbull!" The tanned skinned teeanged boy shouted as his Pokéball opens and out comes his Granbull. Sora and Kairi turned to their partners and nodded.
"You're going in, Pikachu," Sora said.
"You too, Angel," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"So it's a Pikachu and an Eevee, huh?" The tanned skinned teenaged girl asked.
"Those two won't stand a chance against our combined might!" The tanned skinned teenaged boy added.
"Dont be so quick to judge us; I'll warn the both of you, we're very good!" Sora stated.
"Because we will rock your world!" Kairi added.
"Not if we rock yours first! Granbull! Start off with Ice Fang on Pikachu!" The tanned skinned teenaged boy ordered. Granbull's fangs emitted ice and went towards Pikachu.
"Snubbull! Wild Charge on Eevee!" The tanned skinned girl ordered. Snubbull's body became surrounded by electricity and charges towards Angel.
"Pikachu! Electro Ball!" Sora ordered.
"Angel! You use Headbutt!" Kairi ordered.
Pikachu forms a ball of electricity and Angel rushes at Snubbull, hitting it. Pikachu's Electro Ball struck Granbull on the mark.
"Don't take that laying down, Snubbull!" The tan skinned teenaged girl called out.
"You too, Granbull!" The tanned teenaged boy added.
"Use Power-Up Punch!" The tanned skinned couple ordered. Snubbul and Granbull landed a powerful punch on each one of their opponents. When the attack was successful, an orange aura surrounds them both. Sora and Kairi knew Power-Up Punch can increase the attack of any Pokémon's attack each time it's used.
"Pikachu! Use Iron Tail!" Sora ordered.
"Angel! Use Iron Tail, too!" Kairi ordered. Pikachu and Angel came at the Snubbull and Granbull with their tails glowing and swung them. They struck both Snubbull and Granbull, dealing heavy damage, knowing Steel-type moves are Super-effective against Fairy-type Pokémon like Snubbull and Granbull.
"Granbull!" The tanned skinned teenaged boy gasped.
"Snubbull!" The tanned skinned teenaged girl also gasped.
"Those two are better than any of us thought," the tanned skinned teenaged boy said.
"They won't get the best of us! I won't allow it!" The tanned skinned teenaged girl said. "Snubbull!"
"Granbull!" The tanned skinned teenaged boy shouted.
"Ice Fang!" The tanned skinned couple ordered.
Both Snubbull and Granbull charged towards Pupitar and Slugma with their fangs emitting ice.
"Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered.
"You use Swift!" Kairi ordered.
Pikachu and Angel fired their attacks right at their opponents and they take even more damage than before.
"Kairi," Sora said, turning to his girlfriend. "How would feel about Pikachu and Angel doing a little dance?" Kairi caught onto what he meant.
"I have no problem with that," Kairi said, smiling. The tanned skinned couple were confused to the question.
"Why are you two horsing around in the middle of a battle?" The tanned skinned teenaged boy asked.
"Pikachu, go for it!" Sora said.
"You too, Angel!" Kairi said.
Pikachu and Angel took each other by the paws and they span around in a dance. Electricity was literally coming off of them as they did a twirl.
"Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered.
"Swift!" Kairi ordered.
Pikachu and Angel unleashed their attacks as they danced, but the attacks came out with stars being surrounded by electricity, but the sparks were in the shape of hearts. Snubbull and Granbull were struck hard by the combo attack.
"Don't throw in the towel, Snubbull! Power-Up Punch!" The tanned skinned teenaged girl ordered.
"You use Power-Up Punch too, Granbull!" The tanned skinned teenaged boy ordered.
Snubbull and Granbull ran towards Pupitar and Slugma to land a hit.
"Pikachu!" Sora shouted.
"Angel!" Kairi called out.
"Double Iron Tail!" Sora and Kairi ordered.
Pikachu and Angel jumped and went swung their tails at the two Fairy Pokémon, dealing some heavy damage onto them. The Fairy Pokémon duo fell to the ground again, earning Sora and Kairi a double-knockout.
"No way!" The tanned skinned couple exclaimed. "We freaking lost!"
"We did it!" Sora and Kairi cheered as they embraced each other. Sora picks her bridal style and spins her around a few times. He then sets her down. Pikachu did the same thing with Angel.
The tanned skinned couple walked up to the younger couple and shook hands with them.
"That was a pretty good battle," the tanned skinned teenaged boy said.
"You weren't kidding when you told us you were good," the tanned skinned teenaged girl added.
"Thanks," Sora said.
"You two were pretty good yourselves," Kairi added. The tanned skinned couple smiled and went off to heal their Pokémon and work on their tan.
"Well, those two look cute together," Leaf said.
"Especially that they match," Ash said.
"Murkrow!" A voice squawked. They turned to see a Murkrow flying above them. "Murkrow!"
"A Murkrow," Leaf said.
"Murkrow, Murkrow!" Murkrow cawd again.
"What's up?" Sora asked.
"I think this Murkrow is trying to tell us something," Tracey said.
"Hey! A cute little Pikachu!" A young woman exclaimed in a cockney accent. She wore a black wizard's hat and a "This is so totally cool! I finally found a Pikachu!"
"HUH?!" Everyone exclaimed.
She stopped when she reached the group and picked up Pikachu and began to nuzzle the yellow Mouse Pokémon.
"Aw, you're such a sweet little baby," the young woman cooed. Sora spoke up.
"Um, excuse me. Who are you and why are you cuddling my Pikachu without my permish?" Sora asked.
"Oh, how rude. Sorry. Name's Lily. I'm a Pokemon magician," Lily introduced.
"Pokémon magician?" Sora, Kairi, Ash, Leaf, and Tracey asked.
"Yes. I will have to say I am so glad I found a Pikachu out here. I would have tried to find a Pikachu with a locator spell and the key ingredient would be the hair of a Raichu, but those would be hard to come by, so I figured I would try looking for a Pikachu instead. I have been looking for Pikachu high and low because I need a Pikachu's Thunderbolt for a magic show I'm performing, but I'm at my wit's end in doing so," Lily said. She kept going on and on before Sora interuppted her.
"Um, I'm sorry for being rude, but I think you should let us introduce ourselves since you already introduced yourself," Sora said.
"Oh, you're so right! Sorry, I can quite a chatterbox sometimes," Lily said.
"My name is Sora Ketchum, and you already know Pikachu, and these Pichu are his adoptive younger brothers," Sora introduced.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"Pichu," the Spiky-eared Pichu said.
"Pichu," the Shiny Pichu said.
"My name's Kairi, and this is Angel, and this is Togepi," Kairi introduced.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Toge, Toge," Togepi chirped.
"I'm Ash."
"My name's Leaf."
"And I'm Tracey."
"Nice to meet all of you," Lily said, smiling. She blinked twice. "Wait a minute. Sora Ketchum? As in the same Sora Ketchum who won the Indigo Plateau Pokémon League?"
"That's me," Sora admitted.
"Wow! I can't believe that the Pikachu I just cuddled is Sora Ketchum's Pikachu!" Lily said, getting excited.
"So, Lily, how come you need Pikachu's Thunderbolt, if you don't me asking?" Illima questioned.
"Of course. The thing is, I'm not just a Pokémon magician, but I'm also a Pokémon scientist," Lily explained.
"You mean, you're combing science with magic?" Leaf asked.
"Yes," Lily nodded. "The thing is, I'm working on a way to have humans to be able to communicate with Pokémon; and a Pikachu's Thunderbolt is one of the ingredients I need." She takes out an book and she opens it for everyone to see.
"I never seen words like those before," Tracey said.
"This language must be ancient Mysidian. Hardly anyone ever speak it anymore," Kairi said.
"How did you know that, Kairi?" Ash asked.
"My parents had a lot of books like this before; and they would tell me about Mysidia, a city of mystics. Its history is said to he lost, and others say that it never existed to begin with, but my family said it does," Kairi said.
"Well, you're exactly right, Kairi. It is ancient Mysidian. And this spellbook is a list of magic that caters to Pokémon. "This book has been passed down from my family for many centuries in every generation. I can be able to read it since I learned it at such a young age. So far, what I got is Shuckle's secret cure, a powered Stantler antler, a yogurt that is made from a Miltank's milk, a flower petal marked with a kiss of a Jynx. And that's as far I've gotten," Lily explained.
"Is there another ingredient that you need?" Ash asked.
"What I need is a Stun Spore from a Parasect, dirt from the claws of a Meowth, and tears of an Aipom," Lily said.
After a few minutes, Lily's Murkrow found a Parasect wondering the woods foraging for some food with the group watching the mushroom Pokémon from behind the bushes.
"There's our Parasect," Leaf said.
"It sure looks like a strong and healthy Pokémon," Tracey said.
"Yes, and I'm certain we're going to get some excellent Stun Spore," Lily said smiling.''
"How are we gonna get the Stun Spore from a Parasect anyway?" Kairi asked.
"One of us will have to coax Parasect into a battle. Parasect will send out Stun Spore to paralyze the Pokémon it's battling and that'll be Lily's chance to vacuum it up," Sora said.
"I'm sure that's a pretty good idea, but who's going to do it?" Ash asked.
"I think we can use Venonat for the job," Tracey suggested.
"Venonat?" Kairi asked.
"Eevee?" Angel asked.
"Of course. My Venonat will coax the Parasect into using Stun Spore to paralyze Venonat," Tracey said.
"It's too risky," Ash said.
"But it'll work. Go for it," Sora said. Tracey let's out Venonat.
"Okay, Venonat, I have a job for you," Tracey said.
"Venonat," Venonat said.
"I need you to go and pick a fight with those Parasect and provoke it into giving us Stun Spore," Tracey said. Venonat looked at Tracey funny.
"Nat?" Venonat asked.
"I know it sounds crazy, but I know you can do it," Tracey said.
"Venonat," Venonat said, stepping forward.
"And here he goes," Kairi said. Venonat stopped and just taunted the Mushroom Pokémon.
"Hey Parasect! I heard they're looking for some help down in the furniture store- as a chair!" - Venonat subtitle. He waves his fanny right at Parasect, infuriating Parasect, forcing it to fire Sleep Powder.
"Wrong move," Sora said.
Luckily, Murkrow came and flapped its wings to blow the Sleep Powder away. Team Rocket was about to have a sneak attack planned to swipe Pikachu, but instead they got a snootful of Sleep Powder instead. They all fell asleep just as they all let out a soundless scream and James is sucking on his thumb like a baby when sleeping.
"Good thing Murkrow blew that Sleep Powder or ese it would have nappy time for Shiinotic," Ash said.
"You've said it," Sora said.
"Is Sleep Powder the best you've got? Come on! Use your Stun Spore! Come on! I dare ya! Go on! Do it! do it, do it, do it, do, it!" - Venonat subtitle. The Insect Pokémon blew a raspberry at Parasect.
"You want my Stun Spore? Then I'll pour so much on you, you'll be numb for a whole year!" - Parasect subtitle. Parasect started to sprinkle Stun Spore right towards the Insect Pokémon and Lily's face lit up when Parasect let out Stun Spore.
"That's it! That's the Stun Spore!" Lily said with glee. She vaccums the golden yellow powder into th vacccum. Venonat smiled and nodded.
"That was all in fun. Sorry to bother you, sir. And thank you for contributing your Stun Spore for a good cause." - Venonat subtitle. That left Parasect confused.
"What in the world was all that about?" - Parasect subtitle. The Parasect just took off.
"Just a couple more ingredients left to go," Lily said proudly. They hear the sudden sound of snoring.
"You hear that?" Sora asked.
"Pika?" Pikachu asked.
They followed the sound of the snoring and they saw it was Team Rocket fast asleep.
"Well, well, well. The Moron Trio," Sora said.
"They must have gotten hit by that Sleep Powder," Tracey said.
"Meowth! Sooooo cute!" Lily exclaimed, waking them up all of a sudden.
"I'M UP! I'M UP!" Jessie and James yelled.
"I WAS JUST RESTING MY EYES!" Meowth yelled.
"Hold still," Lily said, taking Meowth's paw.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Meowth asked. She retrieved the dirt from Meowth's claws. "Got what I need. Bye."
Sora quickly summoned his Keyblade and cast his aero spell, sending Team Rocket flying.
"Team Rocket's blown away again!" Team Rocket shouted as they get sent flying.
A few moments later, they went over the ingredients they have.
"Yes, there's only one item remaining and that's the tears from an Aipom," Lily said.
"One of the ingredients we need," Leaf said.
"And once you have that, you'll do your magic and be able to read a Pokémon's mind, right?" Sora asked.
"That's right!" Lily confirmed.
"I think I have an idea on how," Kairi said.
"What?" Ash asked.
Kairi then let out a cry sounding like an Aipom, hoping to call one out.
"What are you doing, Kairi?" Tracey asked.
"Just doing an Aipom call. I figured I would bring one out when I sound like an Aipom," Kairi said.
"You don't honestly think an Aipom's just gonna come waltzing out," Leaf said.
But before Leaf can finish her sentence, an Aipom does come out.
"An Aipom!" Ash said.
"Can't argue with results," Leaf said.
"I can't believe it! Give me some tears, now! Please!" Lily said. Frightened, the wild Aipom scurries away, prompting our heroes to go after it. "Wait! You don't understand, Aipom!"
They chased after Aipom, unaware of Team Rocket making it back despite being blown in the wind.
"Well, well. So, Murkrow's manic master's a magician, huh?" Jessie asked, interested.
"If they get that spell woiking, they'll be able to understand anyting a Pokémon's thinking or feeling!" Meowth said.
"You know, just thinking out loud here, but if we got a hold of that spell, we could use it in all sorts of Pokemon based schemes!" James said.
"You mean the chance to become ridiculously rich has finally come?" Jessie asked.
"We can pay off the boatload of debts and still have tons of pazoozas left over for thrills!" Meowth said.
"So, is it yay or nay?" Jessie asked.
"Yay!" James and Meowth said.
"Wobbuffet!" Wobbuffet said.
They kept chasing Aipom and they end up losing its trail fast.
"Lost him," Kairi said.
"Maybe Marill can use his ears to listen for that Aipom," Tracey suggested.
"Good idea. Marill has pretty good hearing," Ash said.
"Right," Tracey said, he threw it and lets Marill came out. "Okay, Marill, listen for this." Aipom's cry is heard on the mini-radio. "This is an Aipom."
"Marill," Marill said. Marill's ears perked up and hears Aipom's movements. "Marill!" Marill points ahead.
"Aipom's that way," Tracey said.
"Let's go," Lily said.
Sora, Kairi, Ash, Leaf, Tracey, Lily, and the Pokémon have found the Aipom when he thought he lost them.
"There's Aipom," Kairi said.
"Okay, let's go!" Ash said.
Just when the group tried to grab Aipom, it gets snatched up in a net. Team Rocket laughs in triumph once more.
"Seriously?! Again?!" Sora exclaimed.
"Aipom!" Lily exclaimed. Team Rocket then snatches Lily's bag. "Hey! Give that back!"
"Oh, poor little witch. Prepare for trouble," Jessie started.
"And now, make it double," James said.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket magically blasts off at the speed of light!"
"The crystal ball says surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"That's right!"
"Give us back that Aipom and Lily's bag!" Leaf demanded.
"You must be joking," Jessie said.
"How would we ever cast that spell if we gave all the goodies back?" James asked.
"This is what I was afraid would happen. I should have blasted you off even further!" Sora said.
"Murkrow, go and get my bag back! Hurry!" Lily called out. Murkrow takes off after the bag.
"Now here's the punch line!" Meowth said. With the press of a button, the mechanical arm nails Murkrow and sends it falling.
"Oh no! My Murkrow!" Lily gasped.
"I Gotcha!" Tracey said, catching the Darkness Pokémon. Team Rocket flies away.
"A little jab will do ya! Meowth chuckled.
Lily falls to her knees, upset.
"Those crooks got away with my bag and that poor Aipom!" Lily cried.
"Not for long. When I'm finished with them, all they're gonna have is a busted balloon, and a broken pride," Sora said.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is looking through their ill-gotten gains.
"It's all junk! Water from Remoraid's Water Gun, an essence of Gloom, nectar and various iron fragments containing different Magnemite powers?! Nothin'," Meowth said.
"This book is brimming with bonk. What are these wacky letters?" Jessie asked.
"Actually, it's text spoken in ancient Mysidian. This was a language that was spoken by many wizards in the old days," James said.
"You mean you can actually read this rubbish?" Jessie asked.
"When I was a little shaver, I used to spend endless hours at my local library," James said.
Jessie: You? Really?
"I never understood too much, because Mysidian is a dead language anyway, but I adored all the little pictures," James said.
"Great, that's helpful. But we still need those Aipom tears if we're going to complete that mind-reading Pokemon spell and get rich!" Jessie said. She stands up.
"Oh, but, Jessie," James said.
"Now, then, let's see if we can't create a little crying," Jessie said as she prepares to punch Aipom in the face. "Here you go."
James stops her in time.
"Stop it!" James pleaded.
"What's your problem?" Jessie asked.
"Just take a look at our ancient book," James said.
"I told you, I can probably read tea leaves easier than this!" Jessie said.
"Sorry. But it says right here, tears achieved through violence won't work," James said.
"Then this calls for a strategy of a different color. Let's think," Meowth said.
They soon do so.
"That's it!" The Moron Trio said all at once.
Aipom is soon baffled as James comes out on a stage.
"Say, you know, a funny thing happened to me on the way here tonight. A woman walks up to me on the street and asks 'Pardon me, is that your Wartortle? Looks mighty strong. How come?' And I say because of the iron in its diet!" James laughs. "What a knee slapper! I'm crying! Get it?"
But the Aipom is more perplexed than anything.
"Aipom," Aipom said. Aipom clearly doesn't get it.
"Oh, a wise guy. Well, try this! When's Mr. Mime not a Pokemon? When it's a pool shot! And what's Tangela's favorite song? Come Fry With Me!" James laughs hysterically. "Oh, I can't breathe! I can't breathe!" But Aipom wasn't laughing, to James's dismay. "Aipom won't even crack a smile!"
"Cause you're about as funny as a squirtless Squirtle! What we need here is a little emotion! Someting that's gonna tear at that Aipom's itty-bitty heartstrings!" Meowth said. Soon, James and Aipom see what Meowth meant as he puts on a puppet show. "Ah, my dear, sweet mother! At long last, I gaze upon your sweet, smiling face! Hug me, my son! My son!" He gets teary-eyed. "And from that moment on, mommy and sonny boy, lived together, happily ever after. What a beautiful story!"
"Sure was! There isn't a dry eye in the house!" James said.
But Aipom just yawns, clearly bored.
"So?" Meowth asked.
"You fools! The fact is you'll never jerk any tears from it using those cliché storylines and overblown dramatics! What's needed is style, grace, talent, acting! Let a theater professional work her magic!" Jessie said is wearing a princess dress and tiara.
Wobbuffet pulls in a nighttime village background as Meowth and James watch along with the Aipom.
Meanwhile, Sora, Kairi, Ash, Leaf, Tracey, Lily, and the Pokémon continued to search for Team Rocket and Aipom.
"Nothing! Not a trace of those morons," Sora said.
"They can't be too far away," Tracey said. Murkrow flies back to the group.
"Murkrow, did you spot them?" Lily asked.
"Murkrow!" Murkrow said.
"Lead the way," Lily said.
The followed the crow-like Pokémon through the woods to find them.
Back with Team Rocket, Jessie is continuing her play. A play I give zero stars.
"Oh, sweet prince, if I cannot be your princess, then I fear my end is near," Jessie said as she drops to her knees. "Farewell, my sweet prince. Farewell." Jessie collapses as white confetti drops down to simulate snow. "Oh, the pain. The agony of being separated by the prince sunk the beautiful princess Jessie deep into despair, whilst her life slipped away in frigid solitude as the snowflakes of winter fell upon her."
"Wobbuffet!" Wobbuffet said.
"The sweet symphony that is the crowd's applause. And I defy any man, woman or Pokemon to quell the fountain of emotion and tears that must follow performances such as this," Jessie said in her thoughts. She opened one eye and saw Aipom was fast asleep. This angers her. "What are you doing?!" She picks Aipom up, ready to punch Aipom. "I'll put you to sleep!" James quickly intervenes.
"Stop, stop!" James pleaded.
"No tears for fears, remember?" Meowth asked.
"The party's over, morons!" Sora said. They turned to see the group.
"The twerps!" Jessie exclaimed.
"Let Aipom go and give Lily her things back!" Kairi said.
"That bag doesn't mean a thing to you, but it's very important to me!" Lily said.
"Ha! You're wrong! The bag means the world to us!" Jessie said.
"That's right!" James added.
"That Aipom plus the bag adds up to big bucks!" Meowth said. Jessie took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Now, go, Arbok!" Jessie called out. Arbok came out. "Use Posion Sting!" Arbok fired Poison Sting.
"Murkrow! Icy Wind!" Lily ordered. Murkow blew Arbok's Poison Sting and nails Arbok and sends it into the basket of the balloon.
"No, Arbok!" Jessie gasped.
Sora took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"You're going in, Skarmory!" Sora called out. James took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Go! Weezing!" James called out. Weezing emerged from inside. "Use Sludge Bomb!" Weezing spewed Sludge Bomb at Skarmory, but it does nothing to her.
"James, you pudding head, Sludge Bomb don't work on Skarmory!" Meowth said.
"I goofed!" James said.
"Use Drill Peck!" Sora ordered. Skarmory spins around like a drill and nails Weezing, sending him at the balloon as well.
While the battle was going, Kairi unties Aipom.
"There you go," Kairi said. Aipom then flees. "Aipom, wait!"
"Your turn, Team Rocket!" Sora said.
"Uh-oh," Jessie, James, and Meowth all said.
"Drill Peck!" Sora ordered. Skarmory delivered a Drill Peck onto the Moron Trio, sending them right to their balloon. Aipom was watching the whole thing go down. "Okay, Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" Pikachu unleashed a Thunderbolt, shocking them and the balloon, causing an explosion.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" Team Rocket exclaimed as they go flying.
"Wobbu Wo!" Wobbuffet said as a star twinkles in the distance.
Up on the ledge, Aipom dies laughing over what transpired untnil it starts crying, causing Kairi to notice.
"The tear!" Kairi exclaimed.
"Hurry!" Lily said.
Sora quickly grabbed an empty bottle and jumped as the tear dropped. Sora managed to get the tear and lands right on his face.
"He got it!" Tracey said.
"Pichu!" Both Pichu said.
"Thank you, Sora!" Lily cried.
"You did it, Sora," Kairi said. Sora lifts his face up and he smiled with his dirty face.
They went back into the forest and Lily was putting in her ingredients.
"There, that's everything we need. Now, all we need is Pikachu's Thunderbolt to make it work. Now, who wants to volunteer for it?" Lily asked.
"It might as well be me," Sora said. "I mean what's the worse that can happen?"Sora asked.
"Alright!" Lily said. She began chanting the spell in the old language from the book. "Now that you know all the rest, finish it all with Pikachu's best!"
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered. Pikachu fired Thunderbolt and it hits the potion, making it bubble and creating a yellow cloud. As the cloud hits Sora he starts feeling the effects. "Wow, it feels kinda nice." The cloud engulfs him completely and everyone gasped at the sight.
"Sora!" Kairi gasped.
"Oh no!" Lily also gasped.
The cloud had subsided and standing before everyone is a spiky-headed Pikachu.
"Sora?" - Pikachu subtitle.
"Of course it's me, Pikachu. Who else could it be? Mickey Mouse?" Sora asked before he winced. "Wait a minute! I understood you! It worked!" He looked around and he saw Kairi, Ash, Leaf, and Tracey all looking down. "Kairi? Guys? How did you all get to be so giant?"
"Sora?" Kairi asked.
"Is it really you?" Leaf asked.
"Yeah, it's me, but why are you looking at me like I got two heads or something?" Sora asked.
"You have one head, Sora," Ash said.
"But, you should see yourself," Leaf said, holding up a mirror. Sora screams in shock when he sees what was staring back at him.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Sora exclaimed. "I've been turned into a Pikachu! Oh, what's the worse that can happen I said! I had to go ahead and let this happen to me!"
"That's strange. It wasn't supposed to happen," Lily said. "Maybe I should consult the book." She turned the page and she got wide-eyed to what she saw. "WHAT?! NO WAY!"
"What's wrong, Lily?" Ash asked.
"It turns out that there's more to the spell than I was orginally led to believe!" Lily said.
"And?" Tracey asked.
"It got so much more ingredients and it'll take a lot of hard work just to get all of it! The spell is way more complicated thatn imagined!" Lily said. Kairi walked up to the young magician.
"Is Sora going to be a Pikachu forever?" Kairi asked. Lily smiled and chuckled.
"Oh no, luv. Sora is only going to stay like that until the spell wears off. It should do so within a few hours," Lily said.
"A few hours? I guess I have nothing to worry about then, huh?" Sora asked. Kairi hands Togepi to Leaf and she picks up Sora.
"I have to say, Sora, you're pretty cute as a Pikachu. I just I could just keep a life-sized plush toy and cuddle it just like I'm going to cuddle you," Kairi cooed. Sora blushed as Kairi had tickled Sora's belly and he liked it.
"Don't stop, Kairi. Keep doing that," Sora said while laughing from Kairi's tickles. Pikachu, Angel, Togepi, and the Pichu wanted in on the fun and they joined in the tickling.
And we're gonna have to close it from here until the next time.
