Episode 334: Faraway Island
A couple of hours have passed since departing from the Hoenn region, the ship was bound for Vermillion City, so everyone were having their own fun on the cruise.
Rei was by herself, thinking about Axel and sighed to herself.
"If only you were still with us, Axel," Rei said. She remembered how she met Axel and how they helped each other during the attack from the Black Sun Clan. "Just so you know, Axel, Roxas and Xion are being well-taken of, and I promise that they'll have the best happiness they could possibly get. I know you wanted that for them from the very start."
Meanwhile, on Faraway Island, the mythical Pokémon Mew is flying through the jungle of Faraway and there is a Sneasel and a Weavile pursuing it. Sneasel unleashed a Dark Pulse at Mew, but it swerved to the left to avoid Sneasel's Dark Pulse. Mew then disappeared through the trees.
A Pokémon Hunter is pursuing the elusive Pokémon on a large motorcycle. He wore a biker. He has piercings on his right brow and a nose ring. He wore black, fingerless leather gloves, a white shirt, black pants, and black boots. He wore a black jacket with a skull stabbed by a burning sword on the back.
In the jungle, Mew changed into a Swablu to blend in. The Pokémon Hunter took out an inferred scope and he uses it to locate Mew. He found the Pokémon by recognizing the heat signature Mew gave off.
"Nice try," the Pokémon Hunter said. "Sneasel, Weavile! Feint Attack!" Sneasel and Weavile disappeared and reappeared, hitting Mew, making it change back to its real form. He gets out a net, ready to capture Mew. "I got you now!" Just then, a Rhyhorn rammed into his motorcycle. "What the-?!"
"There would be known of that, Pokémon Hunter!" A female voice said. He turned to see Solana and Plusle.
"You again. It never fails. You always stick your nose in my business," the Pokémon Hunter said.
"And I'll gladly do it again, because Mew belongs in the jungle, not in some cage. And as a Pokémon Ranger, it is my sworn duty to uphold the balance of nature and take down anyone who would upset that balance. That includes you, of course. Your days of hunting Pokémon are over," Solana said.
"Plusle!" Plusle said.
"Is that what you think? Well, you might as well think again, little girl. I don't care about any of that balance of nature crack! Mew is the rarest Pokémon around, and there's no other Pokémon more important and valuable than Mew! I'll rub out anyone who gets in my way! That goes to you, Pokémon Ranger," the Pokémon Hunter said, taking out a Dusk Ball and threw it. "Tyranitar! I choose you!" His Dusk Ball opened and his Tyranitar emerged from inside. "Tyranitar! Use Hyper Beam!"
"Rhyhorn! Use High Horsepower!" Solana ordered. Rhyhorn charges at Tyranitar and rammed into the Armor Pokémon, redirecting Hyper Beam.
"I'll get you!" The Pokémon Hunter barked.
"You'll have to catch me first!" Solana said. She rode on Rhyhorn as the Spikes Pokémon ran through the jungle. He looked and saw Mew was gone.
"Her little distraction caused my prize to get away from me. If I see her again, she's dead meat!" The Pokémon Hunter said.
Back on the ship bound for Kanto, the group were checking out the ship's different activities as May was doing some souvenir shopping as Kris is singing some karaoke. Ethan was having a match against a Trainer with a Blaziken. His Typhlosion trounced the Blaze Pokémon as Munchlax was chowing down on food from the buffet.
Down to the ship's engine, it begins to overheat. The workers below began to notice it.
"Looks like the engine's getting too hot to work," one of the workers said.
"Get it to cool down a little," another worker said.
They do what they can to keep it cool as possible, but their efforts go to waste when the engine begin to overload and gave off a small explosion. The supervisor came to the area.
"What's going on here?" The supervisor asked.
"It's the engine! Somehow it sprung a spring!" The second worker said.
"We were trying to fix it, but it just kept getting worse instead of better," the first worker said.
"This is the captain! What's going on down there?" A voice asked.
"We've hit a malfunction with our engine," the supervisor reported.
"How bad is it?" The captain asked.
"Thankfully, not too bad, but we're gonna do a thorough look into it just to play it safe," the supervisor said.
"You do that. We'll have to make a stop on a nearby island while you do the repairs," the captain said.
"We'll get right on it!" The supervisor said. He turned to the two workers. "Okay, you lot! Let's get to work! That engine's gonna fix itself!"
The workers went off to get their tools, unaware of a small figure lurking around in the machinery.
To the captain's cabin, he turned to the crew.
"Change course. Set a course for the nearest island," the captain ordered.
Back on deck, the group were about to have some more fun when an announcement was being made.
"Attention all passengers, this is your captain speaking. We are experiencing a minor difficulty with our engineering at the moment. Rest assured that there is nothing to worry about. We will be making our way towards a nearby island while our engineering team is doing everything they can to make it operational. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you," the captain announced.
"Well, that was unexpected," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"I guess we're going to be late getting back to Kanto," Ash said.
The ship changes course, and heads for the nearest island. It took about an hour, so the ship has made its way to the island's beach. Unknown to anyone, Mew has made it to the ship and uses Transform to disguise itself as a Rattata. It ran across the deck.
Meanwhile in the jungle, the Pokémon Hunter took out his scope and looked around for Mew. He growled in frustration.
"I know you're here somewhere. You can run, but can't hide. I can keep this up just as long as you can, but mark my words: I will find you, and I will capture you! And you'll make me filthy, stinking rich! I'll burn down the entire jungle if I have to!" The Pokémon Hunter said.
On the ship, Mew is panting heavily from all the fleeing it was doing to escape from the Pokémon Hunter. Kairi and Angel then came across Mew, thinking it was an injured Rattata.
"Oh, you're hurt, aren't you?" Kairi asked. Feeling pity for the small Pokémon, she picked it up. "Don't you worry, I'll take care of you until you're all better." She returned to the room she was sharing with Rei and her fellow Keyblade apprentices.
"Kairi, where did that Rattata come from?" Brendan asked.
"I don't know. I just found him laying on the deck. So I brought him back here to heal him," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"This Rattata must belong to someone," Rei said.
"Must have gotten have gotten lost," Lyra said.
"Marill," Marill said.
Mew then reverts back to its real form, using up the last of its energy. Everyone all exclaimed in shock when they saw it happen.
"Are you seeing this?" Riku asked, at awe.
"We're all seeing it," Wes said.
"What is it?" May asked.
"It's Mew," Sora said.
"Mew?" Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, and May all asked.
"As in the mythical Pokémon? The one who's said to be the ancestor of all Pokémon?" Ash asked.
"It is," Sora said. He took out his Rotom Phone and scanned it.
Mew, the New Species Pokémon
Type: Psychic
It is said to be the rarest of all Pokémon. It was long believed to be extinct, but Mew sightings are still being reported even today.
"Wow. Hard to believe it. The rarest Pokémon ever, and I'm seeing it with my very own eyes. Max would be super jealous that I actually get to see one!" May said.
"So cool," Ventus said with stars in his eyes. He was excited in seeing Mew up close.
"So much for belonging to someone," Roxas said.
"As cool as it looks, but how come Mew was taking the form of a Rattata?" Xion asked.
"It was obviously using Transform, so it makes sense that it would disguise itself as other Pokémon," Naminé said.
"Azurill," Azurill chirped.
"Yeah, but Mew appeared to be hurt," Rui pointed out. "Look at those injuries."
"It was definitely attacked," Rei said.
"But what attacked it?" Leaf asked.
"It could have been a Heartless or it might have been another Pokémon fighting over territory or food," Michael said.
"Whatever happened, we gotta keep Mew safe until it's healed," Sora said.
"I agree. And we should keep Mew a secret from everyone else, because there's no telling what'll happen if they all see Mew," Rei said.
"Granted that we're a ship full of Pokémon Trainers and they'll try to catch it," Ash said.
"A very good reason to keep Mew a secret," Terra said.
"Just how will we be able to sneak Mew out after it's fully recovered?" Aqua asked.
"That's a good question," Riku said.
"Maybe, have Mew use Transform to take the form of a Pokémon like a Yanma or maybe a Magikarp. That way, Mew can make it out without anyone noticing," Karen said.
"That could work," Riku said.
"We just gotta focus on healing Mew first," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
Meanwhile, Solana ventured through the jungle, searching for Mew when she noticed the ship beached.
"What's this doing here?" Solana asked. She made contact with HQ. "Solana to HQ. We have a situation here."
"What situation?" A voice asked.
"I just came across a large ship on the beach of Faraway Island," Solana reported.
"A ship? Well, that's unexpected. I'll make contact with a rescue agency at once," the operator said.
"Thanks a lot," Solana said. She took out a megaphone and she spoke into it. "Attention! This is Solana of the Pokémon Rangers! I have come across your vessel! Please respond!" The crew and passengers walked over to the side. This included the Keyblade wielders, the DigiDestined, and Yugi's group. Sora decided to hide Mew in his backpack, just so they wouldn't draw some unwanted attention.
"I'm the captain of this ship. We're stranded until we can make some repairs. We are willing to cooperate with the Pokémon Rangers in any way," the captain said.
"A Pokémon Ranger? Never expected this," Sora said.
"Good. With your permission, I would like to come aboard," Solana requested.
"Of course," the captain said. One of the crewmen threw a ladder down and the Pokémon Ranger climbed up. The Keyblade wielders wondered if it had anything to do with Mew.
The captain leads the Pokémon Ranger to his cabin and they begin to discuss her mission.
"So this is Faraway Island?" The captain asked.
"Yes. An Island that is home to a handful of Pokémon. Especially the rarest of all Pokémon, Mew. I was sent here to the island to keep Mew out of the hands of a ruthless Pokémon Hunter," Solana said.
"I see. And where could this Mew be hiding?" The captain asked.
"Probably somewhere on the island by now. That Hunter is a real problem because he's desperate to find and capture it," Solana said.
"I understand. He'll have to do a lot of searching," the captain said.
Down below, the engineers are having trouble with fixing the engines since their tools are somehow melted.
"What's going on?! What happened to my tools?!" One of the workers exclaimed.
"My tools are messed up, too!" Another worker exclaimed.
"Great. The supervisor is going to bite our heads off if we don't get this engine fixed again and fast!" A third worker said. The supervisor came down to see what the error was.
"Why is it taking so long to have the engine fixed?" The supervisor asked.
"Our tools are melted and have no idea what's going on!" A random worker answered.
"If this is an excuse to slack off, then you're gonna need a better one than that! Just get that engine fixed, and no lollygagging!" The supervisor shouted. The workers scrambled, trying to fix the engine.
Unknown to anyone, the mysterious figures are revealed to be Pokémon.
They are a bunch of small Pokémon with a silvery body of liquid metal. Their heads are hard and resemble a golden hexagonal nut, with a small black sphere floating inside. This sphere serves as the eye. They each have a red tail that resembles an electrical wire with two tiny protrusions at the end. This Pokémon is Meltan.
The Meltan were devouring anything that is made of metal, making it difficult for the workers to fix the engines.
Over to the Pokémon Hunter, he followed the signal all the way to the ship. He picks up Mew's energy signature on the ship.
"Ah, so you thought you could get away from me by boat, did you? You should think again. Sneasel, Weavile! Get on that ship and find that Mew!" The Pokémon Hunter ordered. Sneasel and Weavile obeyed their Trainer and head for the ship to climb aboard. Sneasel and Weavile followed the scent of Mew on the ship and ran across the deck.
Over to Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel, they were about to get some lunch when Pikachu and Angel's perked up.
"Pi!" Pikachu growled.
"Vee!" Angel also growled.
"Angel, what's wrong?" Kairi asked.
"I think we got trouble," Sora said.
Sneasel and Weavile were coming and they stopped in their tracks, readying their claws.
"A Sneasel and a Weavile!" Kairi gasped.
"What do they want?" Sora asked. Pikachu and Angel growled as they stared at the Sharp Claw Pokémon. They growled right back. "Looks like they want a fight."
"I think you're right. They might be after Mew," Kairi said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
They stepped forward and got ready to battle against the two Sharp Claw Pokémon.
"Which one do you want?" Sora asked.
"I'll take Weavile," Kairi said.
"Fine with me. Pikachu, our opponent is going to be that Sneasel," Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
Sneasel and Weavile made the first move by rushing at the Pokémon couple with a Metal Claw.
"Dodge and use Iron Tail!" Sora and Kairi ordered. Pikachu and Angel avoided Sneasel and Weavile's attack and landed an Iron Tail the two of them. The Sneasel fired Ice Beam at the Pokémon couple.
"Pikachu! Use Quick Attack!" Sora ordered.
"You use Quick Attack, too, Angel!" Kairi ordered.
Pikachu and Angel dodged Sneasel and Weavile's Ice Beam and lands an Ice Beam on their opponents.
"Pikachu! Use Electro Ball!" Sora ordered. Pikachu forms a ball of electricity and sends it right at Sneasel. Sneasel dodged it and continued to come for the Mouse Pokémon. "Use Electro Ball again!" Pikachu forms another Electro Ball and it lands a hit onto Sneasel again.
"Angel! Use Headbutt!" Angel ordered.
Weavile was about to use another Ice Beam, but Weavile was struck by Headbutt, causing Weavile to flinch.
The battle was drawing in quite a crowd as they were cheering hard for Pikachu and Angel to win. The crew members were even affected by the attention they were getting. Solana and Plusle heard the commotion and they saw the battle already in progress. She recognized the Sneasel and Weavile the Pokémon couple were battling.
"Way to go, little Eevee! Get that Weavile!" A random girl called out.
Weavile came at Angel with a vengeance with a Slash, but Angel kept on dodging from left to right.
"Dodge it and use Iron Tail!" Kairi ordered. Angel dodged and swings her tail, hitting Weavile. "Great job, Angel!"
"Eevee," Angel said.
Back to the Pokémon Hunter, he was growing very impatient.
"What is taking those two so freaking long? How hard is it to find one Mew?" The Pokémon Hunter asked, growing frustrated. He took out a grappling hook. "I ain't waiting anymore." He aims for the ship and fires at it. The grappling hook grappled onto a railing. He rode towards the ship and uses the grappling hook to go up. The sound of the motorcycle engine alarms the patrons, making them scatter as the motorcycle interrupted the battle. "No wonder my Sneasel and Weavile were taking so long. They were battling a couple of kids?"
"How are you?" Sora asked.
"I'm what you would call a Pokémon Hunter. And the Pokémon I'm here for is Mew. So, why don't you tell me where it is," the Pokémon Hunter demanded.
"Even if I knew where Mew is, I wouldn't tell you a thing," Sora said.
"Okay, then it's the hard way," the Pokémon Hunter said, taking out his Dusk Ball and threw it. "Tyranitar! Come out!" His Dusk Ball opened and his Tyranitar came out. "Use Hyper Beam!" Tyranitar fired a Hyper Beam, destroying a part of the ship. Everyone were screaming from the destruction. Joey grits his teeth.
"Hey, why don't try me out, ya motorheaded freak?!" Joey challenged. Davis joined right in.
"Me too," Davis said.
"I don't have time to play with children," the Pokémon Hunter said. Joey and Davis each took out their Pokéballs and threw them.
"Play with these! Dragonite! Go!" Davis shouted.
"Charizard! Come on out!" Joey called out.
Charizard and Dragonite both came out at the same time. Stars swirls around Charizard.
"Dragonite! Use Dragon Pulse!" Davis ordered.
"Charizard! Use Heat Wave!" Joey ordered.
Both Pokémon unleashed their attacks at the Armor Pokémon at the same time. Both attacks struck Tyranitar, but they did nothing to it.
"What the?!" Davis and Joey exclaimed.
"How is that Tyranitar still standing?" Joey asked.
"You're looking at the only Tyranitar that can take just about anything. You can attack my Tyranitar as hard as you like, but not even Ground, Water, Grass, Fighting, Steel, or Fairy-type attacks will make my Tyranitar flinch. Tyranitar! Use Ancient Power!" Tyranitar unleashed crystallized rocks at Charizard and Dragonite, dealing heavy damage on both Pokémon. Both Charizard and Dragonite were knocked out.
"Charizard!" Joey gasped.
"Dragonite, speak to me!" Davis pleaded.
"Stupid kids. Now, let's try this again. Where's Mew? And I ain't gonna ask again," the Pokémon Hunter said. Sora said nothing to him, wanting to keep Mew safe. "Okay, fine. Tyranitar! Another Hyper Beam!" Juat when Tyranitar was about to fire another Hyper Beam, Riku looked at Eevee.
"Use Shadow Ball!" Riku ordered. Eevee fired Shadow Ball at Tyranitar's mouth, causing an explosion. "Sora, run!" Sora and Pikachu ran. The Pokémon Hunter sees Mew's tail out of Sora's backpack, and he puts two and two together.
"So that's where you're hiding my prize. Sneasel, Weavile, Tyranitar! With me!" The Pokémon Hunter said, calling them all back.
"Don't think so!" Riku said, standing between him and his friend.
"I don't have time for this!" The Pokémon Hunter exclaimed, riding his motorcycle. Riku and Eevee dodged it before he could run them over. Solana then goes after him.
"I won't let him have his way," Solana said. She took out her Capture Styler and used it on a passing Pidgeot. Once the capture was completed, she jumped on Pidgeot's back and flew after them.
"We gotta help Sora," Ash said.
"You're right. He'd do the same for any of us," Lyra said.
"Marill," Marill agreed.
"We'll go with you," Tai said.
"No, Tai. There could be Heartless in that jungle, and we have a much better chance against them than you do," Leaf said.
"She's right. Even with our Pokémon protecting us and without our Digimon partners, the Heartless would just pick us off. Not to mention, we could end up being lost," Ken said.
"The best we could do is stay behind and hope you guys come back safely," Téa said.
"And I'll stay, too. Just watch yourselves and protect each other," Rei said.
"We will," Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Wes, Rui, and Michael said. With that said, the Keyblade wielders jumped off the boat and went after Sora.
"Come back safely," Rei said in her thoughts.
Over to Sora and Pikachu, they're running through the jungle, only to be attacked by some Heartless they might have seen before. These Heartless greatly resembled the Soldiers, but they have a jungle theme to it. The helmets are that of an Aztec design. They have sharp claws and curly toes. This Heartless shall be known as the Jungle Soldier.
"Out of the way!" Sora said, summoning his Kingdom Key and used it to slash through the Jungle Soldiers. Pikachu then fired Thunderbolt at the Jungle Soldiers, shocking them. More Jungle Soldiers started to appear and surrounded Sora and Pikachu as they were fighting them. But the more they fought, the more the Jungle Soldiers came. "They just keep on coming."
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
Up in the sky, Solana flies over the Pokémon Hunter and looked down below. She saw Sora and Pikachu fighting the Jungle Soldiers. She knew those weren't Pokémon at all.
"Monsters," Solana said. "Pidgeot! Use Hurricane on those monsters!" Pidgeot complied with Solana and unleashed Hurricane, blowing the Jungle Soldiers away. The Jungle Soldiers ends up beings destroyed by Pidgeot's Hurricane. Sora and Pikachu saw the female Pokémon Ranger lower down. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, thanks to you," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Tell me. Where's Mew?" Solana asked.
"Mew's right here," Sora said, taking Mew out of his backpack. He held the injured Pokémon in his arms. "We found it hurt when it was taking the form of a Rattata. We were going to heal Mew and let it go afterwards."
"You did the right thing," Solana said. "You did a great job keeping Mew safe. Anyway, my name is Solana, and this is my partner, Plusle."
"Plusle," Plusle said.
"I'm Sora, and this is Pikachu," Sora introduced.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"What are you doing on this island?" Sora asked.
"I'm on a mission to keep Mew out of the hands of a Pokémon Hunter, just like the one you saw back on the ship. The captain informed me about situation and why you're on Faraway Island," Solana said. This struck a cord with Sora.
"Faraway Island? Did you just say this is Faraway Island?" Sora asked.
"Yes, I did," Solana said.
"That means Mew's temple is somewhere on the island," Sora said. Solana raised a brow.
"The temple?" Solana asked. Before she could ask, she heard the sound of a motorcycle. "I think we should have this conversation later. That Pokémon Hunter is right behind us."
"Right, we gotta get Mew out to safety," Sora said. With that said, Sora, Solana, Pikachu, and Plusle get on Pidgeot's back and the Bird Pokémon flew off. The Pokémon Hunter looked around and he growled in frustration, having his target escape again.
Pidgeot flew deeper in the jungle, having to lose the Pokémon Hunter. Pidgeot then flew away, leaving Sora, Solana, and the Pokémon.
"Thanks for the assist, Pidgeot," Solana said.
"That should give us some distance between him and that guy," Sora said.
"Chu," Pikachu said.
"For a while, anyway," Solana said. She looked right at Sora. "Anyway, Sora, wasn't it? How do you know about this island?"
"Well, my girlfriend and I found out about it from a journal we found in a mansion on Cinnabar Island," Sora said.
"Journal?" Solana asked.
"Yeah. We were told that the journal were notes from a scientist named Dr. Fuji. It said that he and a group of researchers were here looking in on Mew. You know anything about a Pokémon called Mewtwo?" Sora asked.
"Can't say that I do. But it does sound mysterious when you put it that way. And it just gave my mission more questions for me to ask," Solana said.
"Do you know a Pokémon Ranger named Jack Walker?" Sora asked.
"Jackie? What about him?" Solana asked.
"My friends and I actually met him on our way to Ever Grande City. We helped him in completing a mission involving Manaphy," Sora said.
"Interesting," Solana said. She stroked her chin. "And there is the matter of those monsters that he and that Pikachu were fighting earlier. He was holding some kind of weapon, but it was in the form of a key. Sora, just who are you?"
Meanwhile, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Wes, Rui, Michael, Angel, Eevee, Azurill, Xipak, Celeste, and Marill were venturing through the jungle as the Powerwilds, Bouncywilds, and Jungle Soldiers came and attacked. They summoned their Keyblades and used them to slash through the attacking Heartless. Just then, a group of Dusks attacked them.
"Nobodies!" Wes exclaimed.
"Take them out!" Roxas said.
They struck down the attacking Nobodies right until the last one was slained. They looked around and saw none of them coming.
"Let's go!" Riku said.
Not needing to be told again, they took off, looking for Sora, Pikachu, and Mew.
Speaking of which, Sora, Solana, Pikachu, and Plusle made another stop by a river, tending to Mew's injuries. Sora gave Mew a hyper potion to heal Mew's injuries and fed it a Pecha Berry.
"Here you go, Mew. Eat up," Sora said. Mew happily ate the berry and looked up to Sora. Mew beamed. The New Species Pokémon rubbed itself against Sora for showing it some kindness. Sora chuckled. "You're welcome, Mew."
"It's incredible. I never seen anything like this. It's like you have a natural gift when it comes to Pokémon," Solana said.
"I only did what anyone would have and should do when it comes to Pokémon like Mew," Sora said.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu said. Mew then takes the form of Pikachu and started to play with him. Mew grabbed Pikachu by the tail in a playful manner. Pikachu laughed. Plusle even joined in on the fun.
"Mew is really having fun despite the day it was having," Solana said.
"I guess not even a bad day would discourage Mew," Sora said.
As Pikachu and Plusle continued to play with Mew, a net came out from nowhere and trapped Mew in it. Mew reverts back to normal as the Pokémon Hunter stepped in and chuckled evilly.
"My aim was good after all," the Pokémon Hunter said.
"You again!" Sora growled.
"You thought you could get away from me that easily? You're much stupider than you look. Now, if you excuse me. I'll take that to go," the Pokémon Hunter said. Solana stood her ground.
"Over my dead body!" Solana said.
"Fine with me. I'm not above killing kids... Especially when they get in my way!" The Pokémon Hunter said, taking out his Dusk Ball and threw it. His Dusk Ball opened and Tyranitar came out. Tyranitar roared upon entry. "Get them out of the way!" Tyranitar moved in to attack Sora and Solana, but Sora had different plans. He took out a Pokéball.
"You think you can scare me away, don't you? Well, you're about to find out that I don't scare that easily!" Sora said. He threw his Pokéball. "Swampert! Go!" His Pokéball opened and his Swampert came out to battle. "Okay, Swampert! Use Mud Bomb!" Swampert fired a Mud Bomb, hitting Tyranitar, but the Armor Pokémon just took out.
"I'm not impressed. Tyranitar! Hyper Beam!" The Pokémon Hunter ordered. Tyranitar fired Hyper Beam at the Mud Fish Pokémon.
"Dodge and use Waterfall!" Sora ordered. Swampert avoids Swampert's Hyper Beam and came at the Armor Pokémon with Waterfall, hitting it. "Use Hydro Pump!" Swampert fired Hydro Pump and it pushes Tyranitar back.
Taking advantage of the distracted Pokémon Hunter, Pikachu moved over to Mew and he begins to use Iron Tail, attempting to free Mew.
"Tyranitar! Body Press!" The Pokémon Hunter ordered. Tyranitar came at Swampert with a Body Press. Tyranitar came too fast for Swampert to dodge. "Grab Swampert and don't let it escape!" Tyranitar grabbed Swampert.
"Try to get away!" Sora called out.
"Hyper Beam!" The Pokémon Hunter ordered. Tyranitar fired Hyper Beam, hitting the Mud Fish Pokémon. The attack was so powerful, Swampert was knocked out.
"Swampert!" Sora gasped. The Hunter just laughed.
"I told you, kid! My Tyranitar is unbeatable! Even a Mega Tyranitar wouldn't stand a chance against it!" The Pokémon Hunter taunted. Sora called Swampert back.
"I won't give up," Sora said.
"It's your funeral," the Pokémon Hunter said.
Pikachu kept on using Iron Tail on the net. With one more Iron Tail, the net broke apart, so Mew stepped in.
"Mew, what are you doing?" Sora asked.
"I love it when the prize comes to me," the Pokémon Hunter said, chuckling. Mew then transformed into Rayquaza and roared. Mew flies high into the air. Its body then becomes outlined in a teal aura, and it dives into the Armor Pokémon with great speed. Tyranitar goes flying, much to the dismay of the Pokémon Hunter. "Oh, shi-" Tyranitar lands right on him. Mew reverts back to normal as Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Wes, Rui, and Michael came running.
"Sora, is everything okay?" Brendan asked.
"Everything's good now," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
The group looked at the Pokémon Hunter, having Tyranitar on him.
"Get it off of me. I can't breathe," the Pokémon Hunter wheezed.
"Looks like the party's over. How did you beat this Tyranitar?" Lyra asked.
"Mew did that. It transformed into a Rayquaza and used Dragon Ascent on Tyranitar. So much for taking anything," Sora said.
"Well, at least he won't be causing any trouble," Xion said.
"Are you deaf? I said get it off of me. I need to breathe," the Pokémon Hunter wheezed.
"I can help you with that," Solana said, taking the Dusk Ball and used it to call back Tyranitar. She uses her Capture Styler on a Caterpie. "Capture complete. Use String Shot!" Caterpie fires String Shot, covering him in the silk. He was wrapped up from his head to his shoulders. Sora looked over at Mew.
"You have nothing to worry about, Mew. He won't be causing any trouble for you," Sora said. Mew smiled and nuzzled Sora affectionately. Mew flew off into the jungle, disappearing through the trees. Solana makes contact with HQ.
"Solana to HQ. The Pokémon Hunter is now captured. Mew is safe," Solana said.
"Excellent work, Solana. I knew you were the right person for the task," Solana said.
Everyone returned to the beach, but Tai, Davis, Takato, Takuya, and Yugi told them that the ship is totalled and they're good as stuck.
"So, we're shipwrecked," Sora said.
"Fraid so," Yugi said.
"Not quite. I made contact with Pokémon Ranger HQ, and they're already sending a rescue team on our way," Solana said.
"How long will they come?" Takato asked.
"They should be here in a matter of hours, as long we're easy to find," Solana said.
A few hours later, rescue boats arrived to the island and they ushered the ship's staff and the passengers on board, and the Pokémon Hunter was being arrested by Officer Jenny for Pokémon poaching.
The rescue boats reached Vermillion City and everyone departed off. Solana decided to return to Pokémon Ranger HQ to give her report.
The DigiDestined teams have left to their separate hometowns, so Davis invited Amy to his apartment to introduce her to his family. Yugi and his friends went off to Domino City as well.
"Hard to believe that it's over," Ventus said.
"At least it was a thrill," Karen said.
"When you get to Porta Vista, say hi to Max, Zoe, and Rex for us," Kairi said.
"And to Rod and Laura when you see them, too," Ash said.
"We will," Terra said.
"And we'll make sure Ven gets home safely," Aqua added.
"Pikachu," Thor said.
"Pika," Elcair said.
"We know Ven's in good hands," Michael said.
With that said, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Karen, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Wes, Rui, Michael, Rei, Pikachu, Angel, Xipak, Celeste, and Marill started to make their way home to Pallet Town.
The group made it outside the town and they smiled.
"So this is Pallet Town. Reminds me of Littleroot Town," Brendan said.
"It's no Petalburg City, but it's still nice," May said.
"Yeah, it's nice. It feels like it's been years since I saw this town with my own eyes," Roxas said. A tear slides down his cheek.
"It feels that way for us, too, Roxas. But mom will be super-thrilled to see you again," Karen said.
"Well, we might as well head on down, then," Rei said. Agreeing with their master, the group walked into the town and right up to Sora and Karen's house. Sora opened the door.
"Mom, we're home!" Sora called out. Delia came out of the kitchen and smiled.
"Welcome home, Sora and Karen," Delia greeted her twin children. Sora and Karen went over to her and hugged her. "My babies." She noticed the rest of the group. "Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, welcome back. You two must be May and Brendan. I heard all about you from my daughter when we spoke."
"It's nice to meet you, ma'am," May said.
"We never met face-to-face, but I'm Wes and this is Rui. We're from the Orre region," Wes introduced.
"It's nice to meet you," Rui said.
"And I'm Michael. I come from Orre, too," Michael introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you. Any friends of my children are always welcome here," Delia said with a smile. She looked directly at Roxas and she gasped when she saw him with her own eyes. "Roxas, is it you?"
"It's me, mom. I'm here," Roxas said. Delia's eyes filled with tears and she hugged him.
"You're home," Delia said, happily crying.
"Home," Roxas said, hugging her back.
The Ketchum house was now filled with happiness as Roxas has come back home to the Ketchum household. The same can be said for Kairi's house as Xion was given the same welcome home as Roxas.
Both families knew with Organization XIII gone, nothing was going to threaten their happiness. Let's wish the two families the best of luck as we end the chapter and await to see how bright the future will be.
