Chapter 39
St. Anne escape
Hi everybody, I'm back after doing Ronnie Anne's side story, while she, Clyde, Bobby and Lenard are out searching for Lincoln, we'll see how Lincoln gets everybody out of the boat.
St. Anne underwater,
Lincoln, misty, brock, Pikachu, jessie, James, and meowth are found still knocked out from the attack of electrode.
Pikachu wakes up." man, that really hurt," Pikachu said. he then noticed Lincoln passed out," Lincoln, wake up!"
After shaking Lincoln for a while with no results," ok, I guess I have no choice," Pikachu said," thunderbolt!"
Pikachu zaps Lincoln and the others waking them up," Ahhhhhhhhhh," everybody yelled.
"What the hell Pikachu!" misty yelled.
"How else could I wake you guys up," Pikachu said.
"What happened," Lincoln asked, as he looks out the window seeing that the St. Anne is under water," whoa, guys we're under water!"
"What?!" brock yelled, as everybody else look out the windows," aw man, we are under water, and the ship is upside down."
"It also looks like we're on a pillar," Lincoln said," well, on the bright side, we're not at the bottom of the ocean for now."
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULTS!" jessie yelled, making everyone look at her.
"Our faults!" misty asked.
"Yes, your fault, if you hadn't interfered with our job, we wouldn't have been fired," James replied.
"Yeah," meowth added.
"What, and let you low lives steal from the center, forget it," misty said.
"Yeah, you crooks always steals peoples Pokémon," brock said.
as everyone continue to argue, Lincoln has had enough," QUIET!" Lincoln yelled making everyone look at him." look we can fight later, right now, we have to focus on getting out of here, because I don't think the pillar will hold the ship long, so for now truce?"
everyone looked at each other," ok, truce for now," misty said, as they shook hands.
"So, how are we gonna get out of here?" meowth asked sarcastically.
"Lucky for you, you're will the man with the plan," Lincoln replied.
"Man with the plan?" misty asked.
"Yes, I come up with plans back home, mostly to keep the chaos under control," Lincoln replied.
"Ok then link, you're in charge, what do we do?" brock asked.
"First, we need to build a raft, so James, brock, meowth, Pikachu, and I will get the materials to build one," Lincoln replied," misty, jessie you two gather up some supplies, mostly food, drinks, and medicines."
"What about clothes, I can't be rescued looking like this," jessie said, as everyone gave deadpanned looks at her." never mind."
everyone separates to get to work, while getting materials for the raft Lincoln looked at James." hey James, why did you join team rocket in the first place?" he asked.
"Well, the truth is I lived a lonely rich boy life, and I hated it, all the parties my parents plan all the time, it was boring," James replied.
"Wait, your rich and you hate it!" Lincoln asked surprised.' I wonder how Lola would react to it.'
"Yes, I know what you're thinking why would you want to leave that life behind, well, the truth is, when I was a little boy, I met this girl at one of my parents' parties, she was beautiful, and I wanted to marry her when we get older, I was going to ask but she already said yes before I could ask her, she had one condition though," James replied.
"what's that?" Lincoln asked.
"She wanted me to get rid of my best friend," James replied.
"What?! get rid of your best friend," Lincoln said shocked.
"Yes, my best friend growlith, she wanted me to get rid of him and get a skitty instead, there's no way i would get rid of my best friend, she couldn't accept him, so I called off the engagement and went back to my parents," James said.
"I'm sure your parents wouldn't let that happen," Lincoln said.
"Nope, they agreed with her and tried to force me to marry her, they even locked up growlith in his doghouse, so I ran away and didn't come back," James said." what really hurt me was that my parents were trying to force me to marry someone I don't love anymore, they only cared about their social status."
"Such a sad story," meowth cried.
"I know," Pikachu cried also.
"I know how that feels," Lincoln said.
"What do you mean?" James asked.
"Back at home, there was this girl, she was bulling me, by pulling my pants down, sticking a sandwich in my pants, even putting garbage in my locker," Lincoln replied." after my sisters found out, they assumed that she bullied me because she likes me, i took their advice by kissing her, all it did was give me a blackeye."
"Wow, that's terrible," James said.
"Not only that, but plain stupid, everyone knows that whether a boy or girl, sometimes they do bully because they like that someone, but it also means that they're also easy targets because their victim's don't have the guts to snitch," meowth said.
"you're not wrong there meowth, but in the end she did like me, we both started hanging out starting out as friends despite my sisters assuming I was on a date with her," Lincoln said.
"So, when did you two fully started dating?" James asked.
"Well, after the double date I was force to go by being threatened by a living room table, then after the school dance, then after our egg assignment," Lincoln replied.
"Wait, living room table?" meowth asked.
"Yeah, I tried to refuse to go on the double date," Lincoln replied.
"Why was she trying to force you?" James asked.
"Because my friends were teasing me about her being my girlfriend, so I told them that she was rude, gross and annoying, and said I would lick the bathroom floor than kiss her," Lincoln replied." but it ended up hurting her feelings, thus her brother who was dating my sister broke up with her."
"I see, she put the blame on you, instead of hearing your side of the story," meowth said.
"Jeez, your sister and my parents are very similar," James said.
"Yup, by the way James, is their anyone in your family you trust?" Lincoln asked.
"Well, there's my nana and pop-pop," James replied.
"Are they your grandparents?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes, from my father's side of the family," James replied.
"Well, I was thinking why not have them nock some sense into your parents," Lincoln said.
"Hmm, I guess you have a point, because every time I go visit them, they drive off really fast," James said.
"Hmm, I think your dad's is scared of them, you should follow your dream," Lincoln said.
James gave it some thought," you're right, the truth is I love Pokémon even the ones I got, and I want to become a Pokémon master, thank you Lincoln, if we get out of here, I'll talk to me grandparents and follow my dreams," James said as he hugs Lincoln, later he gathers some supplies for the raft and walks out.
"No problem," Lincoln said." so meowth why did you join team rocket?"
"Well, I didn't start out like this, years ago, I was a regular meowth trying to survive even with a herd of other meowths," meowth replied.
"Wow, a herd," Lincoln said," who was the leader?"
"a Persian, it's our volved form and our leader," meowth replied," we were a family, until I met a female meowth." I tried to impress her, but she rejected me saying that she likes humans."
"So, what did you do?" Lincoln asked.
"Simple, I decided to become the very thing she loves, first I learned to walk on two legs, then I learned to talk." meowth replied.
"Wait, I thought all meowth's can walk on two legs," Lincoln said.
"Technically we can, but we mostly love walking on all fours," meowth said.
"Oh, that makes sense," Lincoln said." so, did she except you?"
"After everything I did for her, she still rejected me and called me a freak," meowth replied. making Lincoln feel bad for him.
"I mean, I did everything for her, she breaks my heart, she even said that she prefers a Persian now," mewoth said as he cries.
Lincoln pats meowth's head," hey, you know what, it's her loss, you being able to understand Pokémon is an awesome thing, you could be a therapist," Lincoln said.
"a therapist?" meowth asked.
"Yeah, you can tell the trainers what's wrong with their Pokémon, since they can't understand them," Lincoln replied.
meowth thought about it," hey you're right, I can do that, thanks link," meowth said.
"No problem, and not only that, I know you'll find that special meowth that likes you for you," Lincoln said, as he, meowth and Pikachu gather more materials.
At the loud house, in the morning,
everyone sans Lori, Lynn and Lola were in the kitchen getting ready for breakfast, until they saw Lynn with a box," Lynn what are you doing?" Rita asked.
"I'm getting rid of these trophies mom," Lynn replied shocking everyone. as she puts her trophies in the box.
"Lynn, you called me mom," Rita said surprised.
"But why get rid of your trophies?" Luan asked.
"Because I don't deserve them, I won these because of my obsession with luck," Lynn replied, making everyone be even more surprised.
"You don't believe in luck anymore?!" Lynn sr. asked.
"Nope, after a terrible nightmare, it opened my eyes of how much of a jerk to stink-I mean Lincoln," Lynn replied.
"Well, I'm glad you came to your senses," Rita said.
"Us too," Lori said, as she and Lola came downstairs.
"Really?!" Luna asked.
"Yeah, just like Lynn, Lola and I had the same nightmares, it made me realize that i was a terrible person, putting my relationship before you, ignoring my duties as a big sister, I don't deserve to be in a relationship," Lori replied.
"Me too, Lana was right, I am a monster, I treated you all mostly Lincoln terribly, through the guilt card and blackmailing you, no wonder most of my trophies got confiscated," Lola said." it's no wonder Lincoln hates us."
the family pulls them into a hug," no, your brother doesn't hate you three, he's been giving us a chance to redeem ourselves," Lynn sr. said.
"Yeah, if he wasn't he would've disowned us days ago," Lana said.
"I guess you're right," Lori said.
"But how can we make it up to if he's swimming with the fishes," Lucy asked.
"We have to have faith in him, because he's the man with the plan," Lisa replied.
"Yeah, we all have too," Rita said, as everyone nods, Lori decided to head upstairs pulling Leni's arm.
"Lori what are you doing?" Leni asked.
"Simple Leni, I want you to videotape my confession on your blog," Lori replied, making Leni happy.' I'm totes glad you came to your senses.
Back at the St. Anne,
Lincoln was gathering some rope for the raft, until he saw jessie gathering up some clothes," um jessie, what are you doing?" Lincoln asked.
"You expect me to rescued looking like this, no thanks," jessie replied pointing at her outfit.
'And I thought Lola cared about her appearance', Lincoln thought." um I think getting out of here is more important than worrying about our appearance."
"that's your opinion," jessie scoffed.
Lincoln noticed a torn picture of what looked like a famous movie star." um, did team rocket do this?" Lincoln asked.
"No, I did it," jessie replied.
"Why?" Lincoln asked.
"Because she's not a great actress, I'm far better than her," jessie replied.
"Is that why you joined team rocket, because you tried to audition for a movie, and failed," Lincoln asked.
jessie looked upset," so what, they shouldn't have rejected me to begin with," jessie replied.
'Prideful just like Lola', Lincoln thought," look, that's life for us, just because you failed at an audition, you joined team rocket to get back at the world, it's kind of dumb," Lincoln said.
"It is not!" jessie yelled.
"Is it, because it can't hurt to try again, but you have to not look down on others, because that'll be your career down fall," Lincoln said.
jessie thought about what Lincoln said," maybe you're right, I let my pride get the best of me, since the boss doesn't need me then I'll go become a movie star," jessie declared." thanks Lincoln."
"No problem," Lincoln said, as he leaves with the ropes, while jessie meets up with misty on gathering more items.
Back the spot where they split up,
everybody meets up again with all of the supplies," ok, we got everything, now what," Brock asked.
"Simple, we put everything together, tie it with these ropes, then use the other ropes to tie them to our water Pokémon, cut a hole in the wall knowing that water will flood in, we use that to swim out of the boat then head to the surface," Lincoln replied, as everyone put the raft together and tying ropes to the water Pokémon goldeen, staryu, magikarp, and dewspider.
"Alright we're all set," meowth said.
"Ok then, Andrea come out," Lincoln said, as he released Andrea out of her pokeball.
"What do you want me to do?" Andrea asked.
"I need you to use slash on that wall," Lincoln replied as he points to the wall.
Andrea looks at the wall, seeing the water looking surprised," are you nutts?!" Andrea asked.
"don't worry, I'll call you back before the water touches you," Lincoln said.
"Ok then," Andrea said, as her claws glowed white, and slashed the wall, making the water come in.
Lincoln recalled Andrea into her pokeball," ok everyone, let's do this," Lincoln said. as everyone got on the raft.
the water Pokémon began to swim threw the hole pulling everybody out. Lincoln and the others hold their breaths until they reached the surface.
"We made it, we're alive! James yelled.
"So, now what?" meowth asked.
"Well, we'll try this first," Lincoln replied," Pikachu use thunderbolt and aim it to the sky."
"On it!" Pikachu said, as he shoots his thunderbolt into the air.
Somewhere a little bit away,
Lenard, Clyde, Ronnie Anne, and Bobby we're still looking for Lincoln, until Ronnie Anne saw something." hey, what's that?" Ronnie Anne asked as she noticed a thunderbolt shoot into the air.
"don't know little lady, but it can't hurt to check it out," Lenard replied, as he steers his boat towards the thunderbolt.
Back with Lincoln and company,
Pikachu stopped his thunderbolt feeling a little tired," rest well buddy," Lincoln said.
"And what's the point of that?" jessie asked.
"Just in case a boat is sailing by, so they can see something," Lincoln replied.
"That makes sense, and besides we also have these paddles," James said.
suddenly, a boat horn was heard, making everyone turn around to see a boat, Lincoln recognized the boat," hey that's my gramps boat," Lincoln said.
"Your gramps?' brock asked.
"Yeah, from my dad's side of the family," Lincoln replied, as he saw Ronnie Anne in Lenard's boat.
"Ronnie Anne?!" Lincoln said.
"Lincoln!" Ronnie Anne said.
Back at royal woods,
Lynn got a ride from Lori in vanzilla to the baseball field after convincing her coach, her team, Margo, Paula, her boyfriend Francisco, and the other baseball teams they won against, even the baseball administrator.
"Ok Lynn, we're here, what do you want?" one of her teammates asked.
Lynn shows everyone the box of trophies," I'm here to make things right," Lynn replied, shocking everybody," I had my eyes open, and my senses nocked into me thanks to Margo and Paula."
Margo and Paula nodded in agreement," what are you trying to say Lynn?" her coach asked.
"I'm saying that I admit it, I'm a sore loser and winner, I relied more on luck than skill, and I put the blame on my brother after experiencing my first loss," Lynn replied.
"You mean that cute boy with white hair," another teammate asked.
"Yes, that's him," Lynn replied (feeling a little uncomfortable at the question)." you, see, I threatened him to come to my game after he said no."
"And why did he say no?" another teammate asked.
"Because he's been to my other sister's activities, and I didn't see that he was tired and wanted a break," Lynn replied.
"Mostly it's because you and your sisters can't take no for an answer," Margo said. making Lynn nod.
"My point is, that I caused pain to my team, my friends, and I don't listen to others' ideas, I want to make things right," Lynn said." and I'll start by apologizing, giving these trophies to the real winners, and I'm giving up relying on luck."
everybody was really surprised at Lynn's behavior, especially the baseball administrator and Francisco.
"So, everyone, I'm truly sorry for my actions and Mr. baseball administrator please let my team play again, even if I'm on the team, they have real skills," Lynn said. lions and beavers, I'm sorry for being a lousy winner and loser, you guys truly deserve these trophies not me. (Gives all of the trophies to the lions and beavers)
"Wow Lynn, this is really generous of you," the beaver baseball player said."
"Yeah, thanks," the lion baseball player said.
the administrator looked at Lynn," after seeing that you really reflect on your actions, I'll let your team play again," the administrator said, making everyone cheer." however, you'll be on probation for a month, is that ok Lynn?"
Lynn smiled," yeah, that's perfectly fine, as long my team can play that's matters to me," Lynn said, as she begins to leave.
Francisco, Margo and Paula followed her," Lynn wait," Margo yelled.
"Yeah," Lynn said, as Margo, Paula, and Francisco surprisingly hugged her," w-what's all this?"
"we're really proud of you Lynn," Paula replied.
"Yeah, we're really happy that you finally let go of your pride," Margo add, as the three let go of her.
"Thanks guys, I promise I'll be a better person," Lynn declared.
"we'll hold you on it, until you apologize to Lincoln," Paula said.
"I will," Lynn said, as Margo and Paula leave.
before Lynn left, Francisco gave Lynn a surprise kiss on the cheek," don't change to much, just get rid of the obsession with luck and pride," Francisco said, as he leaves Lynn blushing and smiling.
Margo and Paula saw the whole thing and started giggling.
Lynn returns to vanzilla with a smile on her face.
At the pageant studio,
Lori dropped off Lola, because she wants to make things right.
as Lola walks in, everybody looked scared as she walks in," AHHHHHHH, its Lola, she's gonna kill us!" one of the pageant girls said.
"I'm not here for that, I'm here to apologize for everything I did," Lola said, shocking everybody.
"Is this a joke?" one of the pageant judges asked.
"No, I came to realize that I was a monster, to you all and my family, I came to realize that true beauty is both inside and outside," Lola replied.
"what're you saying?" Lindsey sweetwater asked.
"I'm saying that, I maybe beautiful on the outside, but I'm ugly on the inside, and until I change myself, I'm not doing anymore pageants," Lola replied.
"Wow, that's a big surprise," Lindsey said.
"I'm sure she can do it," cricket said.
"Thanks cricket, I appreciate it," Lola said as she leaves.
"Lola wait," a female judge said. "If you promise to not blackmail or threaten the others, we'll let you back in."
Lola turned around and nodded as she leaves and returns to vanzilla.
At sunset canyon retirement home,
Lori drives up to the retirement home to deliver the news to albert.
"Hey pop-pop, hey myrtle," Lori said, sadly.
"Hey girls," albert said.
"what's wrong sweeties," myrtle asked.
"Well, you see," Lynn replied.
the girls explained everything, including the St. Anne sinking with Lincoln in it. leaving them shocked.
"Oh my goodness, albert we have to call someone," myrtle said.
"don't worry myrtle Lisa already took care of that, all we have to do is have faith in him," Lori said.
"it's true myrtle, Lincoln is the man with the plan, if anyone can figure a way out of that boat its him," albert said making myrtle feel better.
"You're right albert, you know your grandchildren more than i do," myrtle said," by the way Lori, I'm glad you came to your senses about the same gender relationships, and about the genders being equals, but what made you think that stuff in the first place?"
"Someone told me," Lori replied, until she heard laughter from an old lady.
the lady revealed to be scoots," you actually believed that stuff i told you?" scoots asked as she laughs.
"What are you talking about?" Lola asked.
"I told that dumb sister of yours that more girls than boys meaning their word is law, and that same genders relationships only belong on TV," scoots replied as she laughs.
myrtle got so mad that she got up and punched scoots in the face," are you proud of yourself, because of you she tortured her only brother and caused her family and friends to hate her," myrtle yelled.
"Yeah, you jerk, we ended up following Lori because of you," Lynn said.
"you've done a lot of low things scoots, but this is the lowest you've ever done," albert said.
scoots get back on her scooter and drives away," girls, we know that Lincoln's gonna be ok, and once he calls to let us know he's ok, you'll make amends and promise him that'll you'll change," albert said," can you promise us that?"
"We promise pop-pop," Lori replied, as she, Lynn and Lola gave albert and myrtle hugs and leave." will Lincoln truly forgive them, since they bully him the most?" myrtle asked.
"One can only hope," albert replied.
That's chapter 39, I hope you all enjoyed it, next comes a call home.
