"Beeeeeee!" Beheeyem exclaimed as its body glowed and lifted back up the tree it hurled at Anik and Keats.
"Run for it!" Keats screamed as he grabbed Anik by the forearm and started to sprint.
"Waah!" Anik shouted as she and Keats dove out of the way to avoid being hit again from Beheeyem using "Psychic" to throw the tree at them once more.
"Gurgh!" Keats grunted as he hit the ground.
"Urgh!" Anik muttered as she fell over as well.
"Beeeeee..." Beheeyem said in a menacing tone as Keats and Anik shifted themselves upright to look at the floating extraterrestrial Pokémon.
"The heck is wrong with that thing?!" Keats shouted in frustration.
"I don't know!" Anik replied. "This is scary... And kind of cool! I'm being attacked by an alien Pokémon!" She thought, trying to contain her excitement.
"Behehehe!" Beheeyem said as it turned its head in Keats' direction.
"Uh!" Keats grunted as the Beheeyem raised its right, three-fingered hand at him as Keats' body began to glow with a blue aura. "Huh?! Whoa!" He muttered in surprise as Keats began to float into the air. "Ahhh! Put me down! I'm not aerodynamic!" Keats complained as Anik looked on as Rotom flew out of Keats' pocket.
"Hey, what'zzzz with all the- huh?!" Rotom said as it looked at Keats and noticed he was floating in the air with him. "What's happen- ahhh!" The phone Pokémon said until its body suddenly got covered in a blue aura, just like Keats, and was sent flying at Anik.
"I-I got'cha!" Anik exclaimed as she put her hands up and caught Rotom.
"What happened, zzzzt?!" Rotom said as it floated out of Anik's hands.
"We were just minding our own business when this Beheeyem started attacking!" Anik explained as she and Rotom looked up at Keats, now upside down in the air.
"Why, zzzzt?" Rotom questioned.
"Can you guys have an exposition dump later and just get me down!?" Keats exclaimed in anger as he was flailing in the air. "Uggh... I'm gonna hurl..." He thought as he covered his mouth from dangling above the ground.
"Beeeee!" Beheeyem shouted as the aura around Keats dissipated and he started to plummet.
"Ahhh! Gurgh!" Keats screamed as he fell to the ground with a hard thud. "Aaaarugh..." He muttered in pain as he clutched at his back as Anik approached her downed friend.
"Come on!" Anik said as she grabbed Keats' arm to help him up as Beheeyem raised its arm again.
"Huh?" Keats said as he noticed the blue aura returned around his body. "Get back!" He shouted as he put his hand on Anik's belly and pushed her out of the way. "Wahaaha! Not again!" Keats screamed in aggravation as he was pulled into the air again, hanging upside down as he locked eyes with Beheeyem.
"Beheeee..." Beheeyem said as its body began to light up with electricity.
"That lookzzzz like "Thunderbolt!"' Rotom exclaimed as Beheeyem let loose the Electric type attack at Keats.
"Arghgharhgh!" Keats babbled from being zapped before the floating extraterrestrial Pokémon stopped shocking him. "Haaa... Haaaa..." He breathed slowly from the electrocution as Anik looked on.
"Beheeee." Beheeyem said as it lowered its hand and Keats fell towards the ground once more.
"Gargh!" Keats grunted on impact as Anik ran to help him. "Ough... At least..." He said in pain as Anik looked at him.
'"At least" what?" Anik questioned as she glanced at Beheeyem, looming over the pair of trainers.
"At least it wasn't from a Stunfisk..." Keats thought as he put one of his hands on his head. "What do you want, you stupid freak!" He shouted angrily at the Beheeyem.
"Don't agitate it!" Anik shouted at Keats.
"It's attacking me! It's already pissed off about something!" Keats replied in frustration.
"Beheee!" Beheeyem said as it raised its right hand once more.
"Oh no, not again!" Keats screamed as his body glowed blue a third time.
Trying to keep him from flying up into the sky, Anik rushed to grab Keats by his leg and tried to pull him back down to no avail as she lifted up into the air with him. In an effort to try and stop the hostile extraterrestrial Pokémon, Rotom floated up to Beheeyem to try and calm it down.
"Please, zzzztop! Why are you doing this!?" Rotom asked as Beheeyem turned its green eyes in the direction of the floating phone Pokémon. "Maybe we can dizzzzcuzzzzzzzz this in a rational- ahhh!" It continued until Beheeyem raised its left arm that begun to glow with a silver aura and smacked the phone Pokémon down to the ground, cracking its screen on impact as Anik and Keats fell, landing on their rears.
'"Orguh!"' Keats and Anik exclaimed as they stirred on the ground.
"Zzzzt-zzzt!" Rotom said as Keats got up and rushed towards Rotom.
"Oh crap, Rotom?! You alright!?" Keats said, panicking as he looked at the cracked phone. "Speak to me damn it!" He said as Anik got up, adjusting her glasses as she quickly approached Keats.
"Rotom?!" Anik said in similar concern.
"That- wazzzz- "Steeeeeel Wiiiiiiii-"' Rotom tried to say but its ability to speak was haltered from the damage to the phone as it suddenly shut off.
'"Steel?!" "Steel" what?!" Keats questioned as he picked up the phone. '"Steel Wit?!" "Steel Wisp!?" "Steel Wiz?!" Say something damn it!" He shouted as he angrily shook the phone in his hands.
"Keats, it's no use! Rotom shut off..." Anik said in a saddened tone as he looked at the astronomy enthusiast.
"What do mean "shut off?!" What, like dead?!" Keats said as he made an agitated look at Anik before shifting back towards the phone. "Wake up, you asshole Pokémon!" He screamed at the phone.
"Beheee!" Beheeyem screamed as Anik and Keats looked up at the Psychic type Pokémon.
"You sonuva..." Keats said in anger as he proceeded to glare at Beheeyem and then proceeded to cock his arm back.
"Wait, Keats! That's-" Anik said as she tried to stop the husky framed trainer.
"Gaaahh!" Keats screamed as he threw Rotom's phone body at Beheeyem as the extraterrestrial Pokémon moved slightly to the side to dodge it.
"...Rotom..." Anik said as she put hand on her cheek in disbelief.
Flying through the air, Rotom's offline phone body was hurling towards a nearby tree. Brushing through the leaves and branches, a smack could be heard as a white, sloth-like Pokémon with a red teardrop-like tuft of fur on its forehead, a brown jaw, white tail and two sharp black claws on both its hands and feet had fallen out of the tree.
"Roth-vig." The Pokémon muttered as it sat up, grabbing the phone off the ground with its right claw. "Vigoroth?" It said as it looked over the unknown device before sitting up and noticing what was happening in the clearing.
"You're gonna pay for that!" Keats angrily screamed at the floating Beheeyem while pointing his finger at it.
"But you're the one who threw the phone..." Anik thought as she looked at Keats.
"Beheee." Beheeyem said as it raised its right hand and glowed blue.
"Oh crap, here we go aggaaiiiin!" Keats said as his body glowed blue and floated up into the air.
"Keats! Grab a Pokéball!" Anik screamed as Keats flailed around in the air once more.
"Oh-oh yeah! Good thinking!" Keats replied as he reached into his pocket and pulled out one of his Pokéballs. "Raichu, you're on call! Use "Psychic!"' He screamed as his opened the ball and out came his tail riding mouse-like Pokémon.
"Rai!" Raichu said as he floated in the air, facing Beheeyem as he locked eyes with the extraterrestrial Pokémon. "Chuuuuu!" The Electric and Psychic type glowed blue, just like its opponent and proceeded to descend his trainer back down to the ground.
"Than- ahhh!" Keats said in a relieved tone as he was slowly descending towards the ground until Beheeyem lowered its arm once more and proceeded to increase the pressure around Keats, causing him to feel like he was being pushed into the dirt with immense force. "Grrugha!" He grunted in pain as he felt like his body was being crushed.
"Rai! Rai-raichu!" Raichu exclaimed in shock before looking at Beheeyem.
"Behehehe." Beheeyem said in a mocking tone as Raichu glared angrily.
"Raaaaaiii!" Raichu shouted as he suddenly disappeared into thin air.
"Behee- yem!" Beheeyem said in confusion until suddenly being struck.
Its blue aura disappearing, Beheeyem was hit in the face by Raichu, reappearing in front of the extraterrestrial Pokémon and dropkicking his board-like tail into Beheeyem. The pressure finally disappearing, Keats grabbed his backside in pain as Anik quickly approached and pulled him back to his feet.
"Thank goodness for your Raichu using "Quick Attack!"' Anik said as she pulled Keats' arm for the two to get some distance from Beheeyem and Raichu.
"Me too... Urgh." Keats grunted as he clutched at his chest.
"Beeeheeee!" Beheeyem screamed in agitation as Raichu was ready to fight.
"Whatever is up with that Beheeyem, it's only targeting you." Anik said as she looked at Keats.
"Why? I haven't done anything!" Keats said in a defensive manner. "Maybe it owned that rental car I took those water bottles from and it killed the renter for leaving it out there...?" He thought as he tried to figure out why Beheeyem was attacking.
"Whatever it is, we can't just let it keep trying to beat you up." Anik said with a serious face as she reached into her lab coat and pulled out a Pokéball. "Oricorio, come on out!" She exclaimed as she opened the ball and called out her Fire and Flying type.
"Oricori!" Oricorio exclaimed as she emerged from the light from the ball and locked eyes with the hostile Beheeyem, floating above her.
"Beheeeee." Beheeyem said as it pointed its arm downward and glowed blue, using "Psychic" as Keats and Anik turned around and noticed the felled tree was glowing again and levitated up into the air a second time.
"Mo-move it!" Keats screamed as he and Anik ran in different directions to escape being crushed.
"Rai!" Raichu said as he turned around as the tree impacted with the ground once more.
"Ori!" Oricorio exclaimed in similar surprise as Beheeyem started to spark up with electricity once more.
"Beheeee!" Beheeyem screamed as it let loose another "Thunderbolt," zapping Oricorio.
"Orico!" Oricorio screamed in pain as she fell over, her body sparking. "Corio... Corio..." She panted in pain from the super effective attack.
"She's been paralyzed!" Anik said as she adjusted her glasses as she noticed her Pokémon was now suffering from a status effect. "Now she might not be able to attack!" She thought with worry.
"Raichu!?" Raichu said as he looked down at Oricorio, her body now crackling with electricity.
"Behe!" Beheeyem shouted as Raichu turned around as Beheeyem rushed at the electric mouse-like Pokémon in midair with its arm glowing with a silver tint once again.
"Raic-chu!" Raichu grunted in pain as Raichu was knocked off his tail and fell towards the ground with a hard thud. "Chur!" He exclaimed as he put his paws behind his skull.
"Oh no! Raichu!" Keats said as he looked over at his injured Raichu. "What was that move?!" He exclaimed in confusion.
"Rotom said "Steel" before getting slammed to the ground. I think it was trying to say, "Steel Wing."' Anik said as she looked at Beheeyem, floating over their injured Pokémon.
"But it doesn't have wings!" Keats complained from the fact that Beheeyem doesn't have wings for flight.
"I don't know! It's just a move it can learn!" Anik replied with annoyance at the lack of sense of Beheeyems ability to know "Steel Wing."
"Beheee!" Beheeyem screamed as it proceeded to use "Psychic" and increased the air pressure around Raichu and Oricorio as their trainers turned their attention back towards the battle.
"Raaaiii!" Raichu shouted in pain as he felt like he was being crushed as his eyes started to swirl into unconsciousness.
"Orrrrriiii!" Oricorio moaned in similar torment.
"We have to recall them!" Keats said as Anik nodded, the duo taking out their Pokéballs and pointing them at their respective Pokémon.
'"Return!"' Anik and Keats said simultaneously as Raichu and Oricorio digitized back into their balls.
"Kingler, come on out!" Anik exclaimed as she swapped Pokéballs and out came her Water type Pokémon.
"Kikiki!" Kingler said as he landed on the ground.
"Use "Guillotine!"' Anik ordered. "Let's hope this works so we can end this before anyone else gets hurt!" She thought with a bead of sweat dripping down the side of her face.
"Kiki!" Kingler shouted as he proceeded to jump into the air and extended his massive right claw at Beheeyem.
"Behe." Beheeyem said as its body started to spark up with electricity.
"Ah!" Anik grunted in surprise as she noticed the hostile Psychic type Pokémon was about to use a super effective attack on Kingler.
"Her Kingler is a Water type, he might be royally screwed if that "Thunderbolt" hits! I gotta do something!" Keats thought as he pulled out another Pokéball. "Pineco, you're on call!" He shouted as he opened another ball and out came his Bug type.
"Pineco!" Pineco said as she landed on the ground.
"Use that new move I gave you! "Bug Buzz!"' Keats ordered as Pineco started to glow green.
"Piiiiinnecooooo!" Pineco said as green soundwaves were let loose from her body in the direction of Beheeyem.
Noticing the "Bug Buzz" heading for it, Beheeyem stopped sparking up electricity and proceeded to levitate higher into the air to dodge. With Beheeyem moving out of the way, Kingler failed to connect with "Guillotine" as he landed back on his four legs as Pineco's "Bug Buzz" went in the direction of the woods.
"Vigor!?" The wild Vigoroth said in confusion from the bush as it was hit by the Bug type soundwave attack. "Vigigigig!" It said as it shook violently before falling over, dropping the offline Rotom phone onto the grass.
"Beheeee..." Beheeyem said with an agitated tone as it locked eyes with Pineco. "Beheee!" It said as it raised both of its arms into the air.
Looking upward with concern, Keats and Anik noticed a small portal opening up in the sky as a series of small boulders falling out of it. Her eyes widening, Pineco was shocked as the stones began to pelt her.
"Pine! Co! Pine! Co!" Pineco said in pain as she was hit by the rocks.
"That looks like "Rock Slide!"' Anik said in surprise.
"That's a Rock type move! Pineco is weak to that!" Keats said as he put his hands on his head.
"Pine... Co..." Pineco said as she tried to get back upright.
"At least her "Sturdy" ability kept her from being knocked out in a one hit." Keats thought as he looked at his weakened Bug type.
"Kingler! Use "Crabhammer!"' Anik ordered as her Kingler attempted to jump and attack again with his glowing right claw.
Noticing Kingler coming up behind it, Beheeyem turned around and used "Steel Wing" with its right arm to block Kingler's "Crabhammer," the two attacks colliding in midair. Glowing blue, Beheeyem used "Psychic" once again as the aura appeared around Kingler as Beheeyem pushed the crab-like Pokémon, sending him in the direction of the woods.
"Kingler!" Anik screamed as she saw her Pokémon get sent flying.
"Viiiigg..." Vigoroth said as it put its claw on its head in pain before standing back up. "Rot-roth!?" It said as Kingler was heading straight for it, slamming into the wild Pokémon as Kingler sat on the ground after Vigoroth was knocked over again.
"Ki... Kikiki!" Kingler said in a disgruntled tone before looking back at where Beheeyem was and quickly rushed back over to the clearing, ignoring the other Pokémon he just hit. "Kikiki!" The Water type Pokémon said as Beheeyem loomed over him.
"Use "Harden!" Then follow up with "Swords Dance!"' Anik ordered as Kingler put his claws up in a shielding manner as he glowed, raising his defenses.
"Ki-ki-ki!" Kingler screamed as he spun around in a full rotation, raising his offensive capabilities.
"Try using "Bug Buzz" again. A super effective move is what we need right now." Anik said towards Keats as he nodded.
"Pineco, use "Bug Buzz!" Keats ordered as Pineco let loose a series of green soundwaves once again.
"Coooo..." Pineco said in pain as she let loose her attack at Beheeyem.
"Behee!" Beheeyem shouted as it glowed once more, raising its hand in the direction of Pineco as the Bug type had a blue aura around her body.
"Pineco!" Pineco said as she suddenly felt a ton of pressure around her body, crushing her where she stood.
Her eyes turning into swirls, Pineco was now unconscious as she fell over onto the ground. Looking content at knocking out Pineco, Beheeyem failed to notice the "Bug Buzz" attack that was still incoming as the super effective Bug type move managed to hit the floating Psychic type Pokémon.
"Behehehehe!" Beheeyem exclaimed in pain as its body vibrated, descending towards the ground as it landed on its small feet.
"Guh!" Keats grunted as he looked at his downed Pokémon. "Pi-Pineco, return!" He said in frustration as he recalled Pineco into her Pokéball.
"At least she left us in a better place." Anik stated as Keats looked at Beheeyem, now floating only a couple of inches above the ground. "Kingler! Use "Guillotine!"' She ordered as Kingler rushed at Beheeyem once again.
"Beheee!" Beheeyem screamed as it sparked up with electricity for a "Thunderbolt" attack.
"Kikikiki!" Kingler screamed as Beheeyem let loose the Electric type attack on Kingler, causing him to be knocked backwards again. "Kiii... Kiiii..." The Water type panted in pain as he was on his back.
"Oh no! Kingler!" Anik muttered in surprise.
"Her Oricorio is still paralyzed and all she has left is Cleffa." Keats thought as he looked at Anik before pulling out another Pokéball. "Cloyster, you're on call!" He shouted as he opened up another of the balls for his team as Cloyster emerged.
"Cloooyy!" Cloyster exclaimed as she emerged from her ball and landed on the ground, leaving a heavy indent.
"Cloyster, use your "Take Down" attack!" Keats ordered as Cloyster jumped into the air.
Closing her shell, Cloyster attempted to slam into the hostile Psychic type Pokémon. Sparking up with electricity to use "Thunderbolt," Beheeyem unleashed the Electric type attack on Cloyster. However, the momentum from her "Take Down" attack still allowed her to connect with Beheeyem, causing the extraterrestrial Pokémon to skid along the ground.
"Beeeee!" Beheeyem grunted in pain as Cloyster landed on the ground.
"Clooooy... Steeer..." Cloyster grunted in pain as she opened her shell to reveal her face, aching from the damage.
"Beeeee..." Beheeyem muttered in frustration as it got back to its feet.
"How strong is this thing!?" Keats exclaimed.
"I know, it's so cool- I mean, this is not good!" Anik said with an amazed expression and tone before switching to a more concerned one as she adjusted her glasses.
"Is now the time to be nerding out over a space Pokémon?!" Keats angrily said with glare towards the astronomy enthusiast.
"Sorry, couldn't help it!" Anik replied with an embarrassed smile.
"Pineco and Raichu are out like lights, Cloyster is on the verge and Dragalge is weak to Psychic types... Only options I have left are Druddigon and Diglett..." Keats thought as he pulled out Cloyster's Pokéball. "Return, Cloyster!" He shouted as his bivalve mollusk-like Pokémon digitized back into the ball.
"Kingler! Use "Guillotine!"' Anik ordered as Kingler finally got back up and faced Beheeyem.
"Kikik!" Kingler screamed as he rushed at the extraterrestrial creature with its large claw extended.
"Beheeee!" Beheeyem exclaimed in response by dodge rolling out of the way of Kingler. "Yem!" It shouted as its right arm glowed with a silver tint, using "Steel Wing" to strike Kingler in the side of his body.
"Kiiii!" Kingler shouted in pain as he fell over and his eyes turned into swirls, signifying his unconsciousness.
"Kingler!" Anik said in surprise as Keats pulled out Druddigon's Ultra Ball.
"Druddigon, you're on call!" Keats shouted as Druddigon emerged from the light from his ball.
"Druudddi!" Druddigon exclaimed as he appeared from the ball, standing on the grass.
"Druddigon, use "Flash Cannon!"' Keats ordered as Druddigon opened his mouth wide.
Forming in his mouth was a ball of white-ish silver energy that turned into a laser beam attack from out of the Dragon type Pokémon's maw. Noticing the incoming attack, Beheeyem proceeded to dodge roll once more as the "Flash Cannon" went into the direction of the woods.
"Roooth..." Vigoroth muttered, woozy. "Vigoroth-vigor!" It said in frustration as it stood up, ready to fight as it pushed aside the bush with an angry face. "Vigo!?" Vigoroth said in surprise as it noticed the silver laser heading straight for it.
Ducking out of the way, Vigoroth managed to avoid being hit by the Steel type attack that Keats' Druddigon fired in its general direction. However, a portion of its red tuft of hair was now slightly burnt from the heat given off from the "Flash Cannon" that it narrowly avoided, causing the wild Pokémon to run around in a circle, panicking.
"Vigor! Vigor! Vigor!" Vigoroth repeatedly screamed in a panic as its top hair was burning before stopping to rub its head against the ground to put it out.
"Tch... Missed..." Keats mentally groaned as Beheeyem began to glow blue with "Psychic" once again.
"Kingler, return..." Anik said in a worried tone as she recalled her Water type back into her ball. "Oricorio is paralyzed... All I have left is Cleffa but she's not going to be useful..." She thought with a troubled expression on her face.
"Druddigon, use "Dragon Tail!"' Keats ordered as Druddigon rushed at Beheeyem, swinging his now glowing green tail at the Psychic type Pokémon.
"Beheee!" Beheeyem exclaimed as it put its hands up.
Covered in a glowing blue aura, Druddigon's tail was halted from hitting Beheeyem. With its left arm glowing silver from "Steel Wing" once more, Beheeyem proceeded to punch Druddigon in the side, causing the Dragon type to stumble backwards.
"Druddigon!" Druddigon grunted in pain as he clutched his side.
"Behee-heee!" Beheeyem said in a content tone until it suddenly felt a surge of pain in its left hand.
"What just happened!?" Anik said in surprise.
'"Rough Skin" just happened!" Keats said with a smile forming on his face as Anik pulled out a Pokéball while making a nervous expression as a star flew by in the night sky.
"Oricorio, come back out!" Anik shouted as she opened the ball, her red and black avian-like Pokémon appearing on the battlefield once more.
"Ori..." Oricorio said as she was still paralyzed from before.
"You sure that's a good idea to send her back out?" Keats asked as Beheeyem looked at Druddigon and Oricorio before shifting its gaze at Keats and Anik.
"Beeeeheeee!" Beheeyem shouted as its body glowed blue once again, using "Psychic."
With worried faces, the duo of trainers looked over at the felled tree once again and saw it glowing blue for a third time. Raising its arms in the air, Beheeyem proceeded to cause Druddigon and Oricorio to glow blue from "Psychic" and chucked them both at Keats and Anik while they were distracted.
'"Gurgh!"' Keats and Anik muttered in pain as they both fell onto their chests from the weight of Druddigon and Oricorio being on top of them.
"Beheeeheee..." Beheeyem muttered in a malicious tone as it floated over to the downed group, not noticing the stars flying by in the sky.
Raising its arm down, Beheeyem caused the intense pressure from before to return, forcing Oricorio and Druddigon to press harder against their trainers, crushing them from the weight. Lifting its other arm, Beheeyem proceeded to telekinetically move the felled tree into the air and over the group.
"I didn't think I'd die like this..." Keats said with a scared tone.
"I thought I'd at least get my work done before I'd bite the dust..." Anik replied in similar fear as another star flew by.
Suddenly, as Beheeyem prepared to crush the trainers and their Pokémon, a meteorite had hurled down towards the clearing where the battle was taking place. Turning its head, Beheeyem felt the presence of something approaching as it noticed a star shaped rock was careening towards the Psychic type Pokémon.
"Behe!?" Beheeyem muttered in confusion as it removed the "Psychic" pressure from Keats, Anik, Druddigon and Oricorio from its concentration being shattered.
Noticing they didn't feel the pressure anymore, Druddigon helped up Keats as Anik grabbed her Oricorio and the pairs split into different directions to avoid the tree a third time as it fell towards the ground, landing with a loud slam. Using "Psychic" to stop the meteor from hitting it, Beheeyem had its arms up as the star shaped meteor was floating in midair, covered in the blue aura for a moment until it disappeared from around the meteors body.
"Minior!" The star shaped meteor exclaimed in a happy tone as it spun in a circle as it floated.
"Beheeyem?" Beheeyem said in confusion as Keats, Anik and their Pokémon looked on.
"Is that...?" Keats questioned, wide-eyed.
"A Minior!" Anik said with a delighted yell.
"Behee!" Beheeyem muttered in anger as its body sparked up with electricity once again from the sudden appearance of Minior distracting it.
"No! No! No!" Anik screamed as she looked at Beheeyem. "Minior is a Flying type, it's weak to Electric type moves! Its shell is going to crack and expose its core!" She said as she put her hands on her head.
"And if its shell cracks... It's going to disintegrate!" Keats said, remembered what happens to Minior once their shells break as everyone failed to notice the something rushing out of the woods.
"Behee-yem?!" Beheeyem said, ready to attack the Minior floating in front of it until something rushed at the Psychic type Pokémon.
"Vigoroth!" Vigoroth exclaimed with an angry shriek as its right claw was glowing a dark aura.
Slashing Beheeyem with its claw, Beheeyem was knocked to the ground as it winced in immense pain. Looking on in surprise and confusion, Keats just stared at the angry white creature with the red tuft on its head as Anik reached into her pocket as she pulled out a Pokéball.
"Huh?" Keats thought with confusion as the wild Vigoroth stood over Beheeyem.
"Go, Pokéball!" Anik said as she threw the ball at Minior.
"Mini?" Minior said as the ball hit the meteorite Pokémon.
Digitizing into energy, Minior went inside the Pokéball as it fell to the ground. Her hands clasped in a praying manner; Anik looked on as the ball shook.
"Please! Please! Please!" Anik pleaded in her head as Keats, Druddigon and her Oricorio looked on as the ball stopped shaking, signifying a capture. "I-I... We did it!" She exclaimed as she raised her arms in a celebratory gesture.
"Behee!" Beheeyem grunted in anger from the ground as it raised its arms, ready to attack as Anik and Keats noticed.
"Look out!" Keats shouted as the wild Vigoroth slashed at Beheeyem again with its dark glowing claw, the Psychic type Pokémon passing out in pain with its eyes swirled.
"Beeee..." Beheeyem muttered in immense pain as Anik ran over and picked up her newly caught Minior's ball.
"Finally! Finally! Hahaha!" Anik said with glee as she jumped up and down while holding the Pokéball.
"Vigoroth!" Vigoroth shouted with a triumphant yell as Keats, Druddigon and Anik's Oricorio looked at it.
"Who the heck is that?" Keats said towards Druddigon and Oricorio, both Pokémon shrugging to give an unsure response.
"Vigoroth! Vigoroth!" Vigoroth said as it looked pointed its claw at the downed Beheeyem and then at Keats and Anik, who stopped celebrating to look at it.
"Uhhh..." Anik said, confused.
"Never thought I'd say or think this, but I wish Rotom was here to translate." Keats thought with confusion as he looked at Vigoroth as Anik turned her attention to Beheeyem.
"Oh! I'll catch this guy too!" Anik said as she put away Minior, recalled Oricorio back into her ball and then took out a different Pokéball.
"You sure you want to catch that thing? I almost caught an extremely violent Pokémon once back in Unova and I got lucky and didn't." Keats said towards Anik as he recalled his Druddigon.
"It's a rare space Pokémon! I have to take this opportunity while I can!" Anik said in her defense as she knelt down and tapped Beheeyem on the head with her ball.
Expecting the extraterrestrial Pokémon to digitize and go into ball, Anik made a bewildered face as she noticed nothing was happening. As Keats raised an eyebrow and Vigoroth stood with its arms folded, Anik continued to tap her ball against the oblong head of Beheeyem in an effort to catch it.
"Come on! What's going on? Is this a defective ball?" Anik said in shock as she looked at Beheeyem and then her failing Pokéball.
"Beats me... Oh crap, Rotom!" Keats said until he realized he didn't have Rotom and rushed in the direction of the woods where he threw the phone. "Where are you? Where are you!? There!" He thought as he looked around at the ground and bushes and picked up Rotom's still offline phone body. "Wake up! Come on!" Keats said as he tried tapping on the touchscreen to wake up the artificial Pokémon.
"You might have to go to a tech shop in town to get him repaired." Anik said as she continued to tap her Pokéball against Beheeyem. "Get in the ball, you evil alien!" She thought with frustration as Keats walked back over to her.
"Ugh, that's money I didn't want to spend." Keats complained.
"Hey, Keats?" Anik said as Vigoroth and Keats looked at her. "I keep trying to catch this Beheeyem and it's not working..." She said as she put her ball back in her lab coat.
"Maybe take that as a sign this menace to society needs to be buried in the ground." Keats said as he put his hands in his pockets as Vigoroth nodded. "See, this guy agrees with me." He said with a smirk as he pointed at the white creature.
"Normally, if a ball doesn't work on a Pokémon... That means the Pokémon has an owner already." Anik said as she looked at Beheeyem.
"Wait, it has an owner? Who?" Keats said as he bent forward over Beheeyem.
"You notice how it was targeting you at first? If this Beheeyem has an owner and was trying to seriously hurt you, then..." Anik said as Keats looked over at his companion.
"...Beheeyem looks like a Psychic type... Oranguru did this! Of course!" Keats said as he stood up quickly. "Damn bastard has it out for me for me trying to catch it and it didn't respect me! It sent one of its fellow Psychic type Pokémon after me to off me! I knew I couldn't trust it!" He ranted in frustration as Anik raised an eyebrow. "I bet it was responsible for all those Bruxish who nearly sank me in the middle of the ocean too!" Keats continued as Vigoroth scratched his head with his claw.
"...Actually, I think that this Pokémon might belong to that Imani girl you're after." Anik said as Keats' face softened.
"...That was my next guess..." Keats said as his eyes darted left and right in an embarrassed manner.
"Vigoroth?" Vigoroth said as it approached and looked at Beheeyem.
'"Seriously, who are you?"' Keats and Anik thought as they looked at Vigoroth.
By Jove, I think we've done it! A rare space creature of unique origins and properties has been obtained and is able to assist in the ever-useful goal of star mapping!... Sorry, felt like being dramatic. So, that Beheeyem that belongs to Imani is a massive douchebag. It not only severely damaged Rotom, it not only savagely beat Keats and Anik's teams of weaker Pokémon, it not only been, sorta, responsible for aggravating a wild Vigoroth into getting involved but it also knew "Steel Wing!" What the actual hell! It doesn't have wings! What crazed lunacy is this!? Sorry... Now I'm getting emotional. Thanks to the sudden appearance of a Minior and the afore mentioned Vigoroth, the hostile extraterrestrial Pokémon has been knocked out, Keats and Anik have survived the encounter, captured that Minior and have almost lost half of their entire teams... Wow, the training they spent on new moves didn't help much. Will Keats finally get the location of Imani Snagem out of Beheeyem? Find out next time on Wannabe!

Authors Note: (I edited the last chapter to remove "Rock Tomb" from Pinecos moves and replace it with "Bug Buzz" for anyone who noticed. I already wrote down Pineco using the Bug type move in this chapter BEFORE I realized she didn't have it in her build from when I last changed the move sets in the one prior. If anyone did notice the continuity change, I apologize for the suddenness. I thought it worked better if I made that change.)
