Woody's Pokémon Journeys
The Backstory of Your Life: Part 2!
(AUTHOR'S NOTE: This episode takes place after "The Backstory of Your Life: Part 1".)
Narrator: Last time, our Paldean heroes found a secret diary that belongs to Daruka Miller, Faith's evil sister and were determined to find out why Daruka wanted to conquer the entire world and kill Lexie.
(The scene changes to show Daruka looking at her diary and sees a photo featuring both herself and her Delta Charizard.)
Daruka: I took this picture of me and Charizard when we joined Team Rocket.
Woody: How did you join Team Rocket?
Daruka: I'm glad you asked, woodpecker… but let's wait until after the theme song.
(Song: "The Challenge of Life")
"Rise if you're prepared for the challenge
(Rise to the challenge)
Rise if you're a champion at heart
(Rise to the challenge)
Take my hand, we'll train as one
And triumph together
(Rise to the challenge)
Nothing's gonna stand in our way
Stronger and stronger we'll
Rise to the challenge of
Life
Pokémon!"
(End of "The Challenge of Life")
(The scene changes to show Woody's Pikachu, Oinkologne (Male), Pawmot (Male), Koraidon, Appletun, Armarouge, Clodsire, and Skeledirge, with Woody alongside Faith and Meowscarada, Salamence, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Lapras, and Vulpix (Alolan Form). Geoff and Houndoom, alongside Finizen, Veluza, Capsakid, Bramblin, Miraidon, Flamigo, Litleo, Foongus, Tandermaus, Fuecoco, Oricorio (Pa'u Style), Nymble, Grafaiai, Smeargle, Bellossom, Skunktank, Cetoddle, Swirlix, Slurpuff, Musharna, Banscream, Iron Bundle, Calyrex, Spectrier, Jynx, Gourgeist (Average Size), Polteageist, Misdreavus (Aevian Form), Zapdos (Galarian Form), Horsea, Seel, Jellicent, Snorunt, Snowlow, Glimmet, Munchlax: {Delta Form}, Munkidori, Fezandipiti, Okidogi, Ogerpon, and Noibat and Snowrong also appear alongside Woody and Faith, with Bullwinkle and his Quaxwell, Oinkologne (Male), Greavard, and Rabsca appearing alongside the trio, and as for Hazel, her Kingler and Blastoise appeared with Dot, her Jigglypuff, and her Tinkatink.)
Woody: [reading the title] "The Backstory of Your Life: Part 2!"
Daruka: (voice-over) "It was the day after those dreaded lab scientists turned me into an Eeveekyu. Since I had nothing to do around the lab, I saw an ad to join Team Rocket."
[TV turns on]
Announcer: Hey there!
Daruka: Who, me?
Announcer: Yes, you! Do you want to conquer the world?
Daruka: Um, no?
Announcer: Well, too bad! When you join Team Rocket, you'll be granted with your own Team Rocket uniform, a Team Rocket-licensed Pokédex app on your Rotom Phone, and even Team Rocket-themed weapons and vehicles.
Daruka: Really?
Announcer: Really! Join Team Rocket today!
Daruka: Not in the mood right now. [sighs]: God, I need to go outside.
(Daruka puts on her red short-sleeved dress and dress shoes and goes outside with Charizard, where she and the Skeleton Pokémon took a walk on the island.)
Daruka: Sure is nice to take a break from TV, isn't it, Charizard?
Charizard: Rawwww!
(When Daruka went in the grass, a group of wild Houndoom from before startled the Eeveekyu.)
Daruka: Aaahh, Houndoom! Quick, Charizard! Use your Shadow Ball attack!
Charizard: [Delta Form; Shadow Ball attack] RAAAWWWRRRRRRRR!
Houndoom: [Scratch attack] Doom!
(As soon as the battle was over, one of the Houndoom brutely scratched Daruka's left eye. She was seen in a nightgown, with an ice pack on her left eye.)
Daruka: Uggghhh. What happened?
Julian: You were blacked out for a few days. Turns out that one of the Houndoom who you encountered before turned out to be savage due to the R Substance. Unfortunately, your left eye is in bad condition.
Daruka: Can you give me the mirror, please?
Julian: The mirror?
Daruka: I SAID, "GIVE ME THE MIRROR"!
(Julian gives Daruka the mirror and her happy smile turns into an evil, psychopathic grin.)
Daruka: Yes! YYEESSSS!
[Thunder booms in background]
Julian: Professor Oak, what happened?
Professor Oak: I did some research on the R Substance and it turns out that if it was poured on the body of a person or a Pokémon, they'll turn evil.
Julian: Really?
Professor Oak: I'm afraid so. Until we get Daruka back to normal, we have to keep her in solitary confinement.
Julian: [nods] We'll see what we can do, professor.
Professor Oak: Glad to hear.
Daruka: [struggling from the professor's arms] Let me go this instant!
Professor Oak: Daruka, until you behave, we'll have to put you in solitary confinement, meaning you can't escape.
(Daruka was wearing an orange prison dress over her naked body. Professor Oak opens the door for the confinement room and locks the door tight. The young Eeveekyu looked around the solitary confinement room, hoping to find a way to escape.)
Daruka: You win for now, Oak, but once I get out of this room, I'll have revenge!
(3 Months Later…)
*Daruka is seen digging a tunnel using a metal shovel across the dirt. As she escapes, some security cameras caught her on camera*
Julian: Professor Oak, Professor Oak!
Professor Oak: Julian, what happened? What's wrong?
Julian: Daruka escaped from the solitary confinement room!
Professor Oak: Where do you think she's going?
Julian: She's heading to Viridian City, the home of Giovanni Pavesi.
Professor Oak: We'll never find her at this rate.
Julian: Someday we will, Oak. Someday we will.
Daruka: Better call a Flying Taxi to take me to Viridian City.
(Viridian City, 7:00 PM…)
Daruka: [pants] Phew, at least Officer Jenny and her police crew can't stop me now.
(Daruka looks at her watch on her Rotom Phone.)
Daruka: Gee, it's getting late. Better find somewhere to sleep for the night. [sees Giovanni's Gym]: Say, that looks like a nice place to sleep.
[Door opens up]
Giovanni: [looks down and sees Daruka] Who are you?
Daruka: Um, hi?
Daruka: My Charizard and I were trying to find somewhere to stay for the night. Do you have any place I could go to for the night?
Giovanni: Ah, a customer! Lucky for you, my Gym is only a couple of blocks away from my house in Viridian Forest.
Daruka: Thanks, who are you?
Giovanni: Giovanni Pavesi, alias the boss of Team Rocket at your service.
Daruka: [blushes] Oh, you're such a gentleman.
Giovanni: Thanks.
(Giovanni's Persian wakes up from its nap.)
Giovanni: Ah, there you are, Persian. Did you have a nice sleep?
Persian: [meows] Pers!
(Moments later, Daruka and Giovanni went to Giovanni's house near Viridian Forest. The 16-year-old Eeveekyu put on her purple and black long-sleeved nightgown and Giovanni puts on his blue and white-striped pajama shirt and pants.)
Giovanni: I like you already. I've got an idea. Why don't you join Team Rocket?
Daruka: Really?
Giovanni: Sure you can. We need a new member of Team Rocket after our old member, Bruce, retired with his five Rattata.
Daruka: That's so sweet! [hugs Giovanni]
Giovanni: Goodnight, Daruka.
Daruka: Goodnight, Giovanni.
(The Next Morning…)
Daruka: [puts on her dress and shoes] Morning, Giovanni.
Giovanni: Good morning, Daruka.
(Team Rocket Hideout – Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen OST)
Daruka: So this is the Team Rocket Hideout, huh?
Giovanni: Sure is. We always let new recruits of Team Rocket go through here.
Daruka: Really?
Giovanni: Yes. I really mean it.
(Daruka and Giovanni go inside the hideout. Boris and Natasha followed in pursuit of the duo.)
Natasha: Why did I ever get stuck with another girl? What am I, gay?
Boris: Quiet, Natasha. This girl wants to talk to you.
Daruka: What are you guys talking about?
Natasha: None of your business, you furry tubby!
Daruka: Hey, I weigh 136 pounds and you're calling me a tubby?! It's not my fault Faith and I love sweets.
Giovanni: Settle down, you three.
(Giovanni approaches Boris, Natasha, Daruka, and the other Team Rocket Grunts.)
Giovanni: Now, as new recruits of Team Rocket, I have to give you a Pokémon, ones that represent evil and powerfulness. Daruka, I present to you… Inkay!
[Poké Ball opens up]
Inkay: Inkay, inkay!
Daruka: It's so cute!
Giovanni: Inkay may look cute, but when it evolves into a Malamar, it'll be evil and deadly.
(Giovanni gives Daruka a Rotom Phone. The phone was a brightly-lit purple and had the red Team Rocket logo on the front.)
Daruka: Yes, my very first Rotom Phone!
Giovanni: Now, why don't you scan your Inkay with Rotom?
Daruka: All right, I will. Rotom, tell me about Inkay.
[Daruka's Rotom Phone chimes]
Daruka's Rotom Phone: "Inkay, the Revolving Pokémon. A Dark and Psychic type. Inkay uses the brightly-lit spots on its body to lure in prey, allowing it to drain the energy off of people and Pokémon. Once it drains their energy, it will have the chance to flee from battle."
Daruka: Rotom, what moves does Inkay know?
Daruka's Rotom Phone: Inkay knows the following moves: Wrap, Tackle, Payback, and Hypnosis.
Daruka: Sounds like a strong Pokémon to me.
Inkay: [greeting Daruka] Inkay,inkay!
Daruka: Nice to meet you, Inkay.
Giovanni: Now that you've become Team Rocket Grunts, you have to steal Pokémon. Daruka, I want you to steal a Pidgeotto.
Daruka: No need to worry, boss. I already got a Pidgeotto.
(A Pidgeotto was seen in a bird cage.)
Giovanni: Oh… I see.
(After a few months of Team Rocket training, Daruka was ready to steal Pokémon.)
Giovanni: [wearing a hat and graduation robe] Congratulations, Daruka! You are now an honorary Team Rocket member.
[Cheering]
Daruka: Thanks. [to the Team Rocket Grunts, Boris, and Natasha]: Now get out there and steal the best Pokémon you can find!
[Grunts cheering]
(A few weeks later…)
Daruka: Who thought joining Team Rocket would be so… evil?
Boris: I did.
Natasha: Me, too.
Boris: What's up with that badass scar?
Daruka: Oh, this scar? I got it from fighting a pack of wild Houndoom.
Boris and Natasha: Whoa, so cool!
Daruka: And I thought scars were pretty cool for villains.
Boris: They are.
Daruka: [voice-over] "And that's how I became the newest member of Team Rocket."
(End of flashback…)
Daruka: [in her normal voice] Now do you see why I hate you, Faith?
Faith: Not really.
Daruka: I hated you because you were Sharon's favorite daughter and I was the second-to-first daughter to ever get rejected from the Miller Family Tree. Do you know what that means?
Faith: Uh… that I do kind things for Mom and you make Mom pissed off?
Daruka: What? No! It means that you, Faith Miller, are going to live in a world full of regrets! [laughing wickedly]
Pinky: Egad, that's terrible!
Brain: [gasps] This is terrible! Ever since Daruka transformed into an Eeveekyu, she's been wanting revenge on Faith for almost 20 years.
Pinky: That's a milestone, right?
Brain: I suppose so.
Daruka: [strips Faith out of her clothes, revealing a see-through bikini top and skirt] Let's see how you like it when I drown you in this water tank.
Faith: This can't be good.
(Daruka attaches Faith to a chair and ties her arms and legs up with waterproof tape. She slowly drags Faith into the empty tank.)
Faith: Huh. This isn't so bad.
Daruka: Oh, really?
(Daruka turns on the faucet where the pool-like tank started to fill up with water.)
Faith: [sees the water rising from her feet] I can't believe Daruka wants to kill me just because I'm Mom's favorite child! No wonder Daruka was brought to the dark side.
[Water pouring from faucet]
Faith: Mordecai! Heeeellppp!
Mordecai: That sounds like Faith!
Geoff: She's in trouble!
Mordecai: I'll try to turn off the water. Geoff, you go and stop Daruka.
Geoff: Good thinking, Mordecai!
(As Long As I Can Hold My Breath – Pokémon: Ranger and the Temple of the Sea OST)
Faith: You better hurry, Mordecai. I can only breath underwater for 1 minute!
(As Faith tried to get out of the chair she was strapped into, Geoff ran up to Daruka.)
Geoff: Over here, missy!
Daruka: Geoff Quintel, Mordecai's beloved cousin?
Geoff: The one and only! You've messed with the wrong bird, bitch!
Daruka: [holds out a Poké Ball] Think again! [sends out a Delta Roselia] Roselia, stand by for battle!
[Poké Ball opens up]
Roselia: [Delta Form, does a battle pose] Rose!
Geoff: It's another Delta Pokémon! [pulls out his Rotom Phone]
[Geoff's Rotom Phone chimes]
Geoff's Rotom Phone: "Roselia, Delta Form. The Hidden Thorn Pokémon. A Dark and Fairy type. Roselia can be found on clear nights, where it's seen dancing under the moonlight. When discovered by an enemy, it'll put its enemies to sleep and flee."
Geoff: [sends out his Glimmet] Glimmet, I choose you!
[Poké Ball opens up]
Glimmet: Glim, glim!
Daruka: I don't think that flower petal will beat Roselia.
Geoff: Think again! Glimmet, use Acid Spray!
(Geoff's Glimmet closes its petals and releases a handful of acid, causing Roselia to be poisoned.)
Daruka: No! Not my Roselia. [growls]: You'll pay for this, Quintel! Roselia, Dark Pulse!
Roselia: Rose! [Dark Pulse attack] Sseeellliiaaa!
Faith: We're doomed.
("Who's that Pokémon?" segment)
Daruka, Boris, and Natasha: Who's that Pokémon?
(A silhouette shows a picture of a rose-like Pokémon.)
…
(Moments later, the silhouette disappears, which reveals the Pokémon as a Delta Roselia.)
Daruka, Boris, and Natasha: It's…Deltanian Roselia!
Roselia: [Deltainian Form] Roselia!
(End of "Who's that Pokémon?" segment)
(Geoff's Glimmet was closed to being defeated.)
Geoff: We're not going to make it, Glimmet.
Glimmet: [worried] Glim?
Geoff: What's wrong?
Glimmet: Glim, glim.
(A fantasy shows Glimmet as a wild Pokémon, stuck inside one of Team Star's cages.)
Geoff: I see. As a wild Pokémon, you were mistreated and was forced to battle other Pokémon to get stronger so you wouldn't get hurt.
(Geoff and Glimmet share a hug together, but something magical happened – Glimmet was able to evolve into a Glimmora. It transformed from a flower-like bud into a majestic Pokémon that looked like a Passiflora.)
Glimmora: Glimmora!
Woody: [pulls out his Rotom Phone] What kind of Pokémon did Glimmet evolved into? Rotom, tell me about Glimmet's evolution!
[Woody's Rotom Phone chimes]
Woody's Rotom Phone: "Glimmora, the Ore Pokémon. A Rock and Poison type, and the evolved form of Glimmet. When sensing danger, Glimmora will use the petal-like crystals on its body to unleash strong, crystalline beams from its body. Like Glimmet, Glimmora's petals are made out of crystalized poison."
Woody: Say, where did Geoff's Tarontula go?
(Geoff's Tarountula was seen with Faith, who were trying to get out of the tank.)
Faith: It's no use, Tarontula. We might as well just give up.
Tarountula: Taron, Taron!
(Suddenly, more and more water quickly came out of the faucet, much to Faith's shock.)
Faith: Quick, Tarountula, use Bite to remove the rope from my body!
Tarountula: [Bite attack] Tarroonn!
(With help from Tarountula, Faith was able to escape from the chair. But it was too late – Faith was underwater and couldn't seem to hold her breath. The bubbles surrounding from her nose meant that she was going to drown in just a few minutes and there was no escape from the water tank.)
Faith: Tarountula, help!
(Going seiftly through the water, Tarountula grabbed a hold of some thread from its ball and was able to break through the glass. Some shattered glass got into Faith's fur so she painfully removed the shards of glass. From in her fur, some blood gushed out so she wrapped herself in some first-aid bandages to keep her blood from escaping.)
Daruka: There's no escape from me, Miller. You've had your chance, and now it's payback time!
Faith: No! I won't let you kill me and my cousin Lexie.
Lexie: Faith, are you serious?
Faith: As serious as the blood in my body.
Daruka: Roselia, Dark Pulse!
(Daruka's Roselia fires a strong Dark Pulse attack from the dark energy in its body, almost hurting Lexie in the stomach.)
Lexie: Ow!
Faith: Leave my cousin alone!
(All of a sudden, Geoff's Tarountula evolved!)
Geoff: My Tarountula's evolving!
(Soon enough, Tarountula evolved into amigh
ty Spidops.)
Spidops: Spidops, spi!
[Geoff's Rotom Phone chimes]
Geoff's Rotom Phone: Congratulations! Spidops has been registered to your Pokédex!
Geoff: Spidops?
Geoff's Rotom Phone: "Spidops, the Trap Pokémon. A Bug type. Spidops uses its tough, sticky threads to create traps around its home. It also uses its four legs to create nets, capturing the prey before they even strike back."
Geoff: Quick, Spidops, use Silk Trap to catch Daruka and Roselia!
Spidops: [Silk Trap attack] Spi! Spi! Spidops!
(Spidops created a sticky web for Daruka and her Roselia. Before they least expected it, the Trap Pokémon uses its legs to attack.)
Geoff: Now use Throat Chop!
Spidops: [Throat Chop attack] Spi!
Daruka: Oh, shit!
(Daruka and Roselia, as well as Boris and Natasha, were sent flying out of the Terarium.)
Boris: You think that's bad? Wait until you see your sister turn 20 by the 25th of March next month.
Daruka: Give me a break, Boris. I've had a long day.
Natasha: It could've been worse.
Woody: [off-screen] Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!
(Woody's Pikachu generates a powerful amount of electricity from its body.)
Daruka: [seen electrocuted] Curse you, Faith the Eeveeeee!
Boris, Daruka, and Natasha: We're blasting off again!
Roselia: [Delta Form] Rossseee!
Cyrano: Way to go, Geoff. You saved Lexie from Daruka's clutches.
Lexie: It wasn't nothing to make sure my friends stay safe, Mr. Cyrano.
Miraidon: [thanking Lexie] Mirai!
Lexie: No problem, Miraidon.
Cyrano: As thanks for rescuing Faith from Daruka, I present to you… your own dorm room!
Lexie: [gasps with wonder] My own dorm room?!
(Lexie goes inside her dorm room. It had a Poké Ball-themed cabinet, a computer desk for her purple laptop, beanbag chairs, a bed for her to sleep in, a bathroom, and a closet for her dresses, shirts, and skirts.)
Lexie: This is a dream come true!
Nemona: Tell me about it!
Lexie: [startled] Yipe!
Nemona: We have our rooms next to each other. We're dorm buddies!
Lexie: Yeah, dorm buddies. Sounds great, Nemona.
Nemona's Pawmo: Paw!
Nemona: Thanks, Pawmo.
Pawmot: [saying, "You're welcome, Nemona!"] Pawmo!
Narrator: With Daruka being out of the Terarium for a while, our heroes were able to get caught up with their schoolwork, not to mention having fun on the weekends without any work to do. Stay tuned for what's next in store for Paldea and the Terarium, as the journey continues!
(To Be Continued…)
