Pokemon: Friends to the End
Chapter 57: Nosing 'Round the Mountain!
On Mt. Coronet...
Ash and Turtwig are battling Alan, an energetic Trainer with a Nosepass.
"Nice going, Alan!"Ash remarked.
"You too, Ash."Alan replied with a smirk. "Nosepass show those guys some real burning spirit!"
Nosepass rushed forward.
"You want some burning spirit?"Ash questioned. "Do it, Turtwig!"
Turtwig charged towards Nosepass.
"Nosepass, Zap Cannon!"Alan ordered.
Nosepass fired an electric blast towards Turtwig.
"Quick Turtwig, dodge!"Ash ordered.
Turtwig dodged the electric attack.
"More burning spirit, yeah!"Alan complemented. "Zap Cannon, Nosepass!"
Nosepass fired Zap Cannon again.
"Time for more heat, yeah!"Ash shouted. "Turtwig, dodge and run!"
Turtwig dodged the Zap Cannon and rushed forward.
"Go, go, go!"Ash stated.
Turtwig dodged the incoming blasts and rushed the other way.
"After them!"Alan suggested.
Brock, Dawn, Denise and Pikachu rushed to follow after the two boys and their pokemon.
"Wow, those two are sure giving their all."Brock remarked.
"Yeah except me or Dennie wouldn't expect to give it our all as well."Dawn said with a tired smile.
"Well, that's something we don't see everyday."Denise chuckled.
"Pika pikachu!"Pikachu agreed with a smile.
"Now Nozepass, Zap Cannon!"Alan ordered.
Nosepass fired Zap Cannon, but Turtwig quickly dodged the attack while he kept running.
"Keep on using Zap Cannon until you connect!"Alan ordered.
Nosepass fired two Zap Cannons which send Turtwig up in the air.
"Turtwig!"Ash called out.
Turtwig landed on a nearby rock.
"Yeah, all right keep going and give me another of those jumps!"Ash remarked.
"Stop, you can't go over there!"Alan called out.
Ash and Turtwig looked at him in confusion.
"Come back, we've got to keep battling right here."Alan reminded.
"Why shouldn't they battle anywhere they want?"Dawn asked.
"Being able to adjust in a different environment is a pokemon battle basic."Brock explained.
"Oh is that the reason, Alan?"Denise suggested.
"Pika?"Pikachu asked.
"No it's not that."Alan replied with a smile. "If we cross the other side, we are not in Mt Coronet anymore."
He pointed a location on a map.
"Look, see?"Alan said. "Unless we stay up here on Mt Coronet, Noespass won't evolve to Probopass."
"Really?"Ash asked.
"No joke."Alan answered. "Then Probopass and I will enter the Sinnoh League and doing that is my dream."
"Wow, I had no idea, Nosepass had to have special condition to evolve."Dawn stated.
"I guess most pokemon evolve in many different ways, sis."Denise admitted.
"Yeah, maybe there is something unusual about the geomagnetic field around here."Brock said.
"Pika."Pikachu whispered.
"This is the first time, I ever heard a pokemon only evolve in a certain place."Ash commented.
"We're really getting close on it too."Alan remarked with a smile. "What do you say, Ash? Help us out, okay?"
"Sure, no prob."Ash answered. "We'll have our battle here in Mt Coronet."
The Ash and Alan began their battle with his Turtwig against Nosepass.
"Ash and Alan's battle will start once more!"Brock announced.
"Nosepass use Rock Slide!"Alan ordered.
Nosepass send large boulders hurling towards Turtwig.
"Dodge it, Turtwig!"Ash ordered.
Turtwig quickly dodged the incoming boulders.
"Let's keep going, Turtwig!"Ash stated. "Use Tackle!"
Turtwig tackled Nosepass in quick speed.
"Nosepass use Tackle too!"Alan ordered.
Nosepass charged forward and tackled Turtwig.
"Okay, time to turn on the heat, yeah!"Ash admitted. "Use Tackle once more!"
Turtwig rushed forward to tackle Nosepass again.
"Go, go, go, yeah!"Alan shouted. "Give it all you got!"
Nosepass and Turtwig tackled each other.
"Yeah, way da go!"Ash remarked.
"Do it, Nosepass!"Alan stated with a smirk.
Nosepass and Turtwig continued hitting each other.
"They sure are turning up the heat."Dawn commented while sweat dropping.
"Well, they are boys, what would you expect?"Denise admitted with a shrug.
"Pika..."Pikachu said nervously.
Suddenly Nosepass began to glow.
"All right!"Ash said with a smile.
"Its starting to evolve!"Brock remarked.
Then the glowing stopped and it revealed Probopass.
"Amazing..."Denise said kindly.
"Wow, look at that..."Dawn stated and took out her pokedex.
"Probopass, the Compass Pokémon and the evolved form of Nosepass."Dawn's Pokedex said. "Its body acts as a powerful magnet, it controls three smaller units called Mini-Noses."
Alan rushed up to Probopass.
"You did it!"He admitted. "Great job, Probopass."
The Pallet Town Trainer rushed up to them with Turtwig and Pikachu.
"Hey Alan that's great."Ash stated.
"Pikachu!"Pikachu said happily.
"Thanks for your help, Ash."Alan commented. "You too, Turtwig."
Then fire appeared his eyes.
"Wow, the heat is on and we got to turn up all the way!"Alan remarked.
"Our battle is not over yet!"Ash reminded. "What do you say we rap it up?"
"Wow, Probopass first battle, yeah!"Alan shouted. "Burning spirit!"
Suddenly something came on Probopass head.
"What's that thing?"Alan asked.
The four heroes look at the device in Probopass head in confusion.
Suddenly the device hides Probopass eyes and and the mini-noses go up.
"What the?!"Ash, Brock, Dawn and Denise said in unison.
"The mini noses!"Alan admitted.
Then the mini-noses began to attack Alan sending him to hit the ground.
"Alan, are you okay?"Ash asked.
"Pikachu."Pikachu said.
The mini noses went back on Probopass.
"Probopass, what are you doing?"Alan asked.
Then evil laughs were heard earning the heroes attention and they saw Team Rocket on their balloon.
"And who are you guys?!"Alan demanded.
"You are not the only one that has spirit that burns."Jessie reminded with a smirk.
"Your lounging nose is out of joint, let someone else have a turn."James stated.
"On the Wind!"
"Pass the Stars!"
"Live and Learn!"
" Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!"
"Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!"
"A rose by any other name is just as sweet!"
"When everything is worse our work is complete!"
"It's Jessie!"
"And it's James!"
"Meowth that's a name!"
"Putting spirit do-gooders in their place!"
"We're Team Rocket!"
"In your face!"
"Wobbuffet!"
"Mime Mime Mime!"
"Team Rocket!"Brock, Dawn and Denise said angrily.
"Pikachu!"Pikachu replied.
"Turtwig!"Turtwig snapped.
"Starting today, Probopass is a member of Team Rocket."Jessie stated with her arms folded. "And all of those noses will be doing our dirty work."
"Hey, quit kidding around!"Alan stated. "Probopass is my friend, we've put a lot of sweat and tears into this, I'll never let you do that!"
"Except for the fact that we got a use of our Probopass power mind manipulator."James remarked.
"Noses up!"Meowth retorted with a smirk.
The device began to control the mini-noses.
"Look out!"Brock and Dawn warned.
"Oh no!"Denise shouted.
Alan stepped in front to block the mini noses.
"Probopass, stop right now!"He protested. "Remember our kinder burning spirit!"
"Look out!"Ash warned.
The Pallet Town Trainer falls down on Alan to prevent him from getting hit by the mini noses.
"We've built our success from the ground up!"Meowth said evilly while moving the remote.
Suddenly the ground shakes and cracks around the heroes as yellow appeared beneath.
"Delight in our cute success, I say spending our money on the next year on our new gadget is a wise choice."James admitted.
"So who needs when we can rinder the twerps defeat?"Jessie questioned.
"I owe probo away!"Meowth cheered.
Then Team Rocket departed with Probopass dangling beneath the balloon.
The ground stopped shaking around the four heroes and Alan.
"Hey, you all okay?"Brock asked.
"Yeah, I think so."Ash replied.
"No way they stolen my friend!"Alan cried and dropped on his knees. "Probopass!"
He then recalls his memories with Nosepass.
"Nosepass and I have been a team since forever and ever since day 1, we've always trained with burning spirit."Alan explained. "I will never forgot the day we won our first battle and how we got lost in the forest on our way to next town, so we found ourselves on Mt Coronet and end up doing our best training together, our big dreams come true it evolved into Probopass and now this."
"Hey, hang in there."Ash reminded. "Time for that burning spirit to pay off."
"Huh?"Alan asked.
"We'll work together to get Probopass back!"Brock remarked.
"This is definitely not the time to give up!"Dawn stated.
"Yeah, you have nothing to worry about."Denise admitted kindly.
"Pika pika."Pikachu commented.
"Geez, thanks guys your right."Alan admitted as he stood up. "Probopass, everything will be all right!"
"Don't forget we haven't finished our battle."Ash said with a smile. "We can do that after we get Probopass back!"
"Sounds good."Alan replied with a smirk.
A While Later...
The heroes headed to the road that Brock's compass was leading them to.
"The only way we would ever find Probopass back is to take off the antenna and destroy the remote control."Brock explained.
"I'll aim for the antenna!"Alan stated.
"You'll leave the remote control to me!"Ash remarked with a confident smirk.
Brock stopped walking when he notice his compass was now facing the other way.
"That must be Probopass magnetic charge."Dawn said.
"I guess that's means we're not so fast."Denise admitted.
"Probopass, I'm on my way!"Alan called out as he ran off.
"Alan, wait!"Ash protested.
"Pika pika!"Pikachu shouted.
The four heroes rushed after their friend and they hid in the bushes seeing James, Meowth and Wobbuffet making more antennas while Jessie was sunbathing.
"Look at all those antennas."Dawn said with a frown.
"They might wanna steal the other Nosepass and to evolve them to Probopass."Ash stated.
"I bet they're doing this to take over the world."Denise said bitterly.
"Pika pika."Pikachu whispered angrily.
"They do, huh?"Alan questioned. "I'll take care of this right now."
"Hold on, you'll just be attacked."Brock reminded.
"Your right."Alan agreed.
"Relax, Alan."Ash admitted. "You just leave it to me, Buizel, I choose you!"
His pokeball opened and Buizel came out.
Buizel goes to the water to approach Team Rocket silently.
He splashes Meowth and hides back in the water.
"Hey, who splashed me?"Meowth questioned. "Come on, I already took a bath!"
Buizel splashes Jessie, who gets angry and thinks her team mates did it.
"Hey that's not funny!"Jessie said angrily.
"Hey, don't look at me, I don't like splashing either."Meowth stated nervously.
"All right then who does?!"Jessie demanded.
"Not me, one splash and the antennas are trash."James said worriedly.
"Wobbu wobbu."Wobbuffet agreed.
Buizel gets the remote control, but gets spotted.
"It came from the twerp's Buizel!"James stated angrily.
Buizel glares at the bad guys.
"Hey, spitting is not nice you know!"Meowth complained.
"Buizel, jump in the river quick!"Ash ordered.
"Pika pika!"Pikachu said.
Buizel turned to leave.
"Not with that!"Jessie stated. "Dustox, come out and use Psybeam!"
Dustox came out and used Psybeam on Buizel causing the water type to get confused.
"Wobbuffet, grab that box!"Meowth ordered.
Wobbuffet rushed forward and pulled the remote control that Buizel held, which caused Probopass to act.
"I'm coming, Probopass!"Alan shouted and dived into the water.
"Okay Hoot Hoot, come on out!"Denise stated.
Her pokeball opened and Hoot Hoot appeared in the sky.
"Hoot Hoot!"Hoot Hoot said.
The Owl Pokemon flew by and snatched the remote control out of Buizel and Wobbufeet's grip which caused it to go in the air.
"Oh no!"Jessie panicked.
"Probopass!"Alan shouted.
He rushed up to Probopass and began to try to take the antenna off its head.
"Heads off, I take pride in this work!"James complained as he and Alan struggled against each other.
"I've got it!"Ash stated and leapt up to catch the remote control.
"Dustox, Whirlwind go!"Jessie ordered.
Dustox used Whirlwind sending Ash to fall in the river.
The remote control lands and explodes on Probopass antenna.
Alan landed next to Ash while James crushed in front of his companions.
"Alan!"Ash said.
"I took pride building that antenna and you broke it!"James said angirly.
The antenna in Probopass head starts to go frenzy.
"Probopass!"Alan called out.
"I think your pride got short."Jessie admitted.
"You can't go pro without something bad happening."Meowth stated.
"And what is that something bad?"Jessie questioned.
Then Probopass mini-noses destroy the antennae and the remote controls which caused Wobbuffet to be caught by Team Rocket.
Probopass blasts Team Rocket off with Zap Cannon.
"Not only my precious devices have exploded now I won't be able to eat for a year!"James cried.
"That should help your fat head."Jessie mumbled.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"Team Rocket screamed as they disappeared in the sky.
Probopass goes to attack everything causing Alan and Ash to get out of the way.
"Probopass, stop all of this right now!"Alan demanded.
"This is getting out of hand."Denise commented.
"What do we do?"Dawn asked worriedly. "It doesn't hear a thing!"
"A powerful electric shock might shot Probopass out of it."Brock suggested.
"Let's do it, Pikachu!"Ash stated. "Thunderbolt now!"
Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Probopass re-gains control.
"That did it!"Ash said proudly.
"Pika pika!"Pikachu spoke happily.
Alan rushed up to Probopass.
"Probopass, do you know who I am?"He asked with a smile. "It's me, Probopass!"
Probopass opened its eyes, but then it uses Zap Cannon, attacking everything shocking the heroes.
"Rats, the antenna is still controlling it!"Denise stated.
"How could that be when the remote control was gone?"Dawn asked.
"We got to get that antenna off too!"Brock admitted.
Probopass then goes away causing his trainer to rush after him.
"Probopass, come back!"Alan shouted.
"Come on, let's get going!"Ash stated.
The four heroes, Buizel and Pikachu run to follow Alan to go after Probopass.
"Probopass, stop!"Alan shouted.
"Buizel, Water Gun, go!"Ash ordered.
Buizel fires Water Gun which slows down Probopass and for Alan to go on his pokemon's back.
"Ash, we've gotta stop Probopass!"Alan admitted. "So use Pikachu's Thunderbolt again!"
"But if Pikachu does that you get hit too!"Dawn warned.
"You can't worry about me, just do it!"Alan demanded.
"Right, Pikachu use Thunderbolt!"Ash ordered.
Pikachu uses Thunderbolt which hits both Probopass and Alan.
"Try it again and give it all you got!"Alan shouted.
"Hurry Pikachu, come on!"Ash said.
"Pika pika!"Pikachu replied.
Brock and the two sisters were running behind.
"Dawn, Denise, Pachirisu and Luxio!"Brock admitted.
"Got it!"Dawn replied. "Pachirisu, come on out!"
"Luxio, you as well!"Denise stated.
The pokeballs opened causing Pachirisu and Luxio to appear.
"Hang on, Alan!"Ash protested.
"Pika!"Pikachu said.
"There is a lake up ahead."Alan commented. "I've got an idea!"
"You've got an idea?"Ash asked.
"When I give you the signal, pack it with Thunderbolt and Water Gun, stand by!"Alan warned.
Probopass stopped when he arrived in the edge of the lake.
"Okay, do it now!"Alan stated.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt go!"Ash ordered. "Buizel use Water Gun!"
Pikachu fires Thunderbolt while Buizel used Water Gun.
"Pachirisu, Discharge now!"Dawn ordered.
"Luxio use Spark!"Denise ordered.
Pachirisu uses Discharge and Luxio fired Spark.
The attacks caused Alan and Probopass fall from the cliff in a lake.
In the Water...
"Hang on, Probopass!"Alan stated.
The trainer manages to take the antenna off.
"Probopass!"Alan called out.
Probopass didn't respond and still had his eyes shut.
In the Land...
"Buizel, go see what is happening!"Ash stated.
Buizel goes in the lake.
"We wouldn't dream of using your swimming pool."
The heroes turned and saw Team Rocket.
"Team Rocket!"They said angrily.
"Haven't you had enough?!"Dawn questioned.
"No, it seems will replace the Probopass plan with yours!"James remarked with a smirk.
"But once we get your Probopass, we'll have a Probopass army then yours goes to the boss for garden detail!"Meowth chuckled.
"Wobbu!"Wobbuffet said.
"It's not happening!"Ash replied. "Pikachu use Thunderbolt go!"
"That thunderbolt is not gonna happen, but this is!"Meowth laughed.
Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but Meowth throws a net, which prevents electricity from attacking them, while the heroes are electrocuted.
Suddenly Alan and Probopass come out of the water with Buizel alarming Team Rocket.
"Alan!"Ash said happily.
"They're okay!"Denise admitted sweetly.
"And he managed to get the antenna off!"Brock remarked.
Alan and the two pokemon landed in front of Team Rocket.
"We've got our burning spirit back, so now its time for you three crooks to pay the price and feel the heat!"Alan stated.
"Another twerp hot head?"Jessie muttered.
"That dip in the lake cool you off, but we will!"James admitted.
"Perhaps a pokemon battle will burn you fever down!"Meowth suggested.
"Now Seviper, fire detail!"Jessie said.
Her pokeball opened and Seviper came out.
"Seviper!"
"Of course, we'll need Carnivine!"James commented.
Carnivine comes out and bites James head.
"No, the twerps are the hot heads!"James complained.
"Quick Buizel, get us out of the net, use Sonicboom!"Ash ordered.
Buizel uses Sonicboom to get the net off the heroes.
"What?!"Jessie said angrily. "All right, Seviper use Poison Tail!"
"And Carnivine, you use Bite!"James ordered.
Seviper and Carnivine charged to attack.
"Probopass use Magnet Bomb!"Alan ordered.
Probopass fired a Magnet Bomb at Seviper and Carnivine and a bigger one at Team Rocket causing them to drop on the ground in pain.
Team Rocket stood up and glared at the heroes.
"I say you twerps are the only bombs!"Meowth retorted.
"Quick Carnivine, get up!"James ordered.
"Seviper show a little spice!"Jessie demanded.
Both Seviper and Carnivine were too weak to fight.
"Now Pikachu, Volt Tackle!"Ash ordered.
"Luxio use Night Slash!"Denise ordered.
Pikachu and Luxio charged forward to defeat Seviper and Carnivine with Volt Tackle and Night Slash.
"All right, Pachirisu, Discharge!"Dawn ordered.
Pachirisu fired Discharge.
"Okay Probopass, yeah!"Alan shouted. "Finish it with Zap Cannon!"
Discharge and Zap Cannon send Team Rocket blasting off once again.
"What a surprise with blast off."Team Rocket muttered.
"Wobbu wobbuffet!"Wobbuffet agreed.
Team Rocket once more disappeared in the sky.
"Alan, you did it!"Ash remarked.
"Pikachu!"Pikachu said happily.
"Thanks Ash, but we did."Alan admitted.
Ash and Alan shook his hands with each other.
Afterwards...
The heroes went back to Mt Coronet so that Ash and Alan can finish off their battle.
"Let the battle begin!"Brock announced.
"All right, Probopass go!"Alan ordered.
Probopass charged towards Turtwig.
"Turtwig, you too!"Ash stated.
Turtwig and Probopass tackle each other.
"Let's show Probopass, yeah!"Alan shouted. "Show that burning spirit!"
"Yeah, we can burn too, yeah!"Ash admitted. "Burning spirit, Turtwig!"
"They're always turning up the heat."Dawn remarked and looked at Denise. "But if they didn't they wouldn't be them would it?"
Denise giggled. "That is so true, Dawn."
"Pach!"Pachirisu replied.
"Pikachu pika!"Pikachu spoke with a smile.
"Luxio lux!"Luxio remarked.
