"..." In a deep dark cave, Team Rocket was watching Pikachu's every move from Ash. Observing what was going on.
"Some thunderbolt, electro ball, quick attack and don't forget Iron tail. First-rate moves, all. Without a doubt, that Pikachu needs to be ours." James said as they were watching video clips of Pikachu and it's movesets and they had to get Pikachu away from Ash and that would be that.
"Yes, but first, we need to make our job easier by seperating Pikachu from that pesky twerp." Jessie said, knowing it was easy to remove Ash and Pikachu from each other.
"Plus, the new one from his Sinnoh journeys has came back, so we might make sure he doesn't get in our way." James said, knowing he would be a bit of a threat if he got in the way also.
"Wobba." Wobbuffet said as Meowth touched the cubic box to stop the video and began to analyze them.
"Yeah, but those two are stuck together like glue! Prying them apart's going to be tough." Meowth said, knowing they had a bond between them and they needed a plan. Then they heard something.
"Fufufufu.. I couldn't help hearing you. That Pikachu would be a most useful acquistion indeed." A mysterious lady laughed as she was interested on what team rocket was saying as she felt like this was a good time to listen in. She was covered in a brown coat that only covered her eyes.
"Eavesdropping is bad manners! Who are you?" Jessie snarled and began to ask the mysterious person.
"They call me Madame X. And this is Malamar." Madame X said as she introduced herself and her Pokemon.
"Malamar... Mala..." Malamar said as it narrowed it's eyes in delight and began to send a strange hypnotic wave to team rocket which made them gasp in awe for what Madame X was trying to do toward them.
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
(Pokémon!)
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Yeah, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all)
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all!
Pokémon!
EPISODE 20: A Conspiracy to Conquer! (Ash)
EPISODE 20: Madame X! Malamar's Mysteriousness! (Alex)
After leaving Camphrier Town, Our heroes now continue their journey to Cyllage City to Ash and Alex's next gym battle challenge.
"Let's see. In order to get to the Pokemon Center, we pass through this forest." Serena said as she was looking through her GPS map to see what to do next.
"Well, that's not too bad." Alex said as Ash noticed something way in the distance where they were at.
"Whoa, what's that?" Ash said, as he noticed something.
"Over there!" Pikachu pointed as it looked like something like satelliete dishes in the distance.
"Oh, that? That's a radio observatory." Clemont said, knowing what it really was.
"Radio Observatory?" Serena said, unsure what it meant or was.
"Right! It's a facility that recieves radio waves from outer space. Then, it automatically analyzes those waves utilizing the latest state-of-the-art high technology equipment!" Clemont said as he explained what they actually do and why do they do it.
"Fancy, so it's sending and recieving things." Alex said, knowing what their job was to do.
"Right." Clemont said, making it clear what they do.
"I'm not sure what you're talking about, but it sounds cool!" Ash said as he was interested on what Clemont had said.
"Amazing!" Pikachu said as they heard bushes rustling and out came Meowth! Instead of him being perfectly fine, he was brutally beaten up with scratches on his own face.
"Huh?" The group said as they saw Meowth.
"Hey, you lugs-help me!" Meowth cried out as he was in a plea now for help.
"Meowth, what happened?!" Ash asked as Meowth weakly passed out.
"Hey, what's he doing here?" Pikachu said as they checked on him.
"Meowth's hurt! We need first aid! Bonnie!" Clemont said, knowing that they should get him help, then he looked at Bonnie for the first aid.
"Okay." Bonnie said as they went to work to help.
A Few Minutes Later.
"..." Meowth slowly woke up to see the group trying to first aid him and see what was going on with him as he looked confused and dizzy.
"What's up..." Meowth moaned out, being weakened by this.
"Huh." Pikachu said, seeing his eyes open slowly.
"You're awake!" Serena exclaimed, seeing the cat Pokemon wake slowly up.
"It's a ton of twerps!" Meowth weakly said as he saw his enemies in front of him, but the pain was worse on him.
"No- You've got to rest! Stay down and take it easy." Clemont said, knowing Meowth can hurt himself more.
"I am surprised Meowth is out here." Alex said, why was Team Rocket's member doing out here?
"Here, drink this." Clemont said as he wanted to give some medical water to Meowth.
"Yeah, that hit the spot. Ahh.. You lugs saved my life.. I owe you big time." Meowth said as he drank the medicene water and was all fine.
"Really?" Bonnie said as she and dedenne gave them mad looks.
"Sounds like a lie to me now." Alex said, knowing Meowth well from the last few encounters.
"Yeah, if you ask me, you're just trying to trick us again." Bonnie said, siding with Alex more and more.
"And I'm tired of your tricks." Dedenne said, knowing he's tired of this.
"Same." Pikachu said, being slightly aware of Meowth and his antics.
"Me. Perish the thought! I'm on the level, no doubt! I came all this way to tell you you're all in danger!" Meowth said, knowing that he was trying to be innocent and telling the group.
"Danger? What are you talking about?" Clemont questioned, what was Meowth on about?
"What do you mean. We are in danger? I don't see any danger around." Alex said as he was repeating what meowth said as he looked around.
"Yeah, i wanna hear more." Ash said curiously.
"What are you saying?" Pikachu said as he slightly was confused.
"Just thinking back on everything that happened gives me the creeps. It was like the worst nightmare anybody could have..." Meowth said as he had some horrible memories that happened earlier, first he was with Team Rocket, now he was on the verge of slowly losing it.
"What are you talking about. Again, what has this had to do with anything?" Alex said, he was shaking his head.
"Let me explain you glassed twerp!" Meowth exclaimed as he was annoyed by Alex's speaking as the flashback began.
Flashback
"Malamar..." Malamar smugged as it used it's hypnotic powers to get team rocket as they were looking at its light power and made Team Rocket gasp under what they would do under her command.
"From this point on, you are all my servants. And you will obey my every command." Madame X said, wanting Team Rocket to be under her commands of her and Malamar, Jessie and James shook their heads.
"I don't know who you think you are. But we don't take orders from pushy bigmouths!" Jessie said, knowing they don't want to listen to this Madame X.
"There's only one boss who's our boss and that's the one and only Boss!" Meowth said, knowing their is only one boss of theirs and that is Giovanni.
"Wobbuff." Wobbuffet agreed as Team Rocket wanted Madame X out of their way.
"Inkay... Psybeam!" James said as he got Inkay out to battle against her.
"Pumpkaboo! Shadow Ball!" Jessie said as she tossed Pumpkaboo's Poke ball out at them.
"Inkay!" Inkay said as he was mad at Madame X.
"Pumpka!" Pumpkaboo said as they were out together.
"Malamar... Malaaa!" Malamar said as he was using his hypnotic powers to make sure they don't attack them as it hypnotized both Inkay and Pumpkaboo, giving them some souless eye stares.
"Inkay, you okay?" James asked his inky Pokemon as they didn't seem to budge.
"Pumpkaboo, attack those fools!" Jessie said as the two Pokemon turned to Jessie and James with souless eyes and staring at them.
"Forget about it! Those two won't attack my Malamar and they won't attack me, Madame X, either." Madame X
"Malamar. Mala!" Malamar said as he used his hypnotic powers even more to not only go after Jessie and James but then he managed to hypnotize them too, Meowth felt like he was in danger now.
"This is bad! That wacko's gonna take control over all of us!" Meowth thought to himself as he needed to get a way to not fall in the power of Malamar.
"All right..! Aghaghagh!" Meowth said as he used Fury Swipes to endice himself in pain to prevent being hypnotized.
"Huh?" Madame X said, noticing Meowth's plan.
"Mal?" Malamar said as he was surprised on what Meowth did.
"Nhh." Meowth grunted as he was in pain from himself. He then had a devious grin on his face but Madame X smirked.
"Inflicting pain upon yourself in order to maintain control over your own mind is quite clever. Grab it!" Madame X said as she knew what Meowth had planned, telling them to take Meowth now.
"Yes... Madame..." Jessie and James said as they began to walk slowly like zombies toward Meowth.
"No.. Fight it! Snap out of it! You've got to wake up, quick!" Meowth cried out, wanting them to wake up and snap out of it!
"I'm out of here!" Meowth cried out as he fled the scene.
"Now- Go after Meowth!" Madame X demanded as she knew Meowth was smart and she needed him.
"Yes, Madame..." Jessie and James said as they slowly followed the cat by Madame X's orders, causing to laugh.
"Wobbuff.." Wobbuffet mumured as he was following them, being hypnotized too.
"..." Meowth ran out of the cave that team rocket was hiding as he was attempting to flee from their grasp to prevent being caught and hypnotized by the Malamar so he would try to find help.
End of Flashback
"So i ran and ran as fast as I could... I never thought I'd get a load of someone so creepy and kooky." Meowth said, knowing what had happened as he knew they were in trouble as he couldn't believe he saw something weird and crazy. The group just shook their heads.
"Yeah... Madame X? Sounds believable. Meowth." Alex said, knowing that it was not a belivable story to him.
"Hnh! We can't just stand here yapping! Madame X is coming to get her hooks on Pikachu next! You'd better scram!" Meowth said as he got up from sitting on a tree to telling everyone.
"Blah, blah! I still think you are trying to trick us so you can end up catching Pikachu for yourself!" Bonnie blahed, as she didn't believe Meowth more.
"And I don't like that!" Dedenne said, siding with Bonnie.
"Bonnie's right. But you won't fool us this time!" Serena said, knowing that it seems like a made up story.
"Plus, how can you describe something as a Malamar or Madame X if they aren't real?" Alex said, knowing if Meowth knew the truth, what do they look like?
"No way! This is strictly on level! Come on, take a look at these peepers and you'll see I'm as honest as the day is long!" Meowth said, knowing this was the honest part of him that he was telling the truth.
"Yeah. No way as if-" Alex said as he knew that it was not true slightly.
"Meowth...What are you doing here?" James said as they made deep voices without any emotion, causing Meowth to jump. They came through the tree where Meowth was sitting.
"You'd better hurry and catch Pikachu..." Jessie said in a deep voice.
"Team Rocket!" Ash said as he was alarmed by them.
"Not again!" Pikachu exclaimed, they were found.
"KNEW IT." Alex said as he glanced down at Meowth.
"So you are trying to catch Pikachu after all!" Clemont said, he knew it was a trick to them, but Meowth knew otherwise.
"No! You've got it all wrong, Palley! They're being controlled. Look at their dopey eyes!" Meowth said as it looked like he was innocent, then he pointed toward their eyes which were souless and had nothing there but hypnotism.
"Let's move." Ash said, knowing they should not stick around longer.
"Yeah, lookin like zombies aren't fooling me. That could be just makeup. Madame X and this Malamar is not-" Alex said as then they tried to leave with the weird creeped out looks in their eyes.
"It's them! And that's Madame X!" Meowth said, as Madame X and her Malamar was there to stop them in their tracks.
"What kind of name is X?!" Serena asked, this was a surprise to see.
"HOLY COW, HE'S ACTUALLY TRUE! Wait.. what is that thing?!" Alex said as he was startled to see something as Madame X was actually real and then his attention was focused on Malamar.
"So that's Malamar! Let's see..." Ash said as he pulled out the Pokedex to scan Malamar.
"Malamar. The overturning Pokemon. And the evolved form of Inkay. Possessing the strongest hypnotic powers of any Pokemon, Malamar can compel others to do anything it wants them to do." The Pokedex said as it read Malamar's data and hearing it had the strongest hypnotic power to control others what to do.
"So, that's the famous Pikachu. A strong-looking Pokemon. Indeed." Madame X said as she was intrigued on hearing about Ash's Pikachu.
"What do you want?" Pikachu said, knowing he would not join them.
"I think I'll make you my servant right here and now. Malamar!" Madame X said, knowing that they can use them as her servants.
"Heheh... Come along." Malamar said as he used his body to send hypnotic lights to the group.
"Urgh.. What is that?" Alex said as he was using his hands to block the hypnotic light.
"Keep your eyes off of that light! It'll grab you by the brain!" Meowth said as the group tried to shield themselves from the light that caused Jessie and James to be possessed by Malamar. Ash had a plan.
"Pikachu, stop them with Electro Ball!" Ash said, knowing this was their one chance to prevent them from being possessed.
"Ok! Electro Ball!" Pikachu said as he jumped in the air and used Electro Ball which Madame X dodged.
"Scram while the scramming good!" Meowth said as they should scram right away.
"Come on!" Clemont cried out as the group tried to leave, but with Malamar's Psychic, it used Jessie and James to block the way.
"Leaving so soon..? Pikachu will now become a member of our Pokemon Patrol." Jessie said as they wanted Pikachu with their patrol.
"Pokemon Patrol?!" Ash said, what did they mean by the Pokemon Patrol?
"Unstoppable. And destined to take over the world and put our beloved Madame X on the throne to rule it all." James said, knowin that the Pokemon Patrol would make Madame X the best of the best.
"Come along and join..." Wobbuffet moaned out as Bonnie shrieked and stayed by Serena.
"There is no way were gonna let you take over the world!" Bonnie said, knowing that it wasn't going to happen at all.
"Get away from us!" Dedenne cried out, wanting to not let them do what they want.
"What do you mean by take over the world? What does this world lack if you are being controlled by Malamar!?" Alex said, now he was wondering what would they want to do by taking over the world?
"Using Pikachu to take over the world is just plain wrong! You're nuts!" Meowth said as he knew that was crazy, but then he realized it.
"Course... now that I think of that. That's what we're always trying to do." Meowth thought to himself, then again... He was being to critical about it.
"Go away, hey! Why can't I move! Hey!?" Pikachu said as he was suddenly being taken away by Psychic from Malamar.
"Now they're using Malamar's Psychic!" Clemont exclaimed, knowing that Psychic was taking away Pikachu.
"Farewell.. Fools! Hahaha!" Madame X said as she left with them, laughing in the process.
"Help me!" Pikachu cried out, as he was being taken awake.
"Stop! Pikachu!" Ash called out, but they were long gone.
"We've got to do something!" Serena said, know that they should try to do something.
"I know, but how do we know where they're taking Pikachu!?" Bonnie said, knowing what they will do with Pikachu.
"Moreof, how are we gonna stop them without being hypnotized to their power?" Alex said, knowing how they can try to stop without getting caught by their power.
"I'm sure Madame X has to have a hideout somewhere..." Clemont said as he knew Madame X had hideout which he chuckled a bit.
"Clemont... are you thinking of it... NOW?" Alex said, knowing Clemont would do something like this right now?
"Hmhm, Yep! The future is now, thanks to science! Clemontic Gear, on!" Clemont said as he was now sure he could make a new machine to help, he made a Pikachu clone machine.
"I thought we'd encounter a situation precisely like this one!" Clemont said as he knew they would be in a situation so he planned ahead.
"You did?" Bonnie and Serena said as he was really going to do this?
"Awesome!" Ash said as he was amazed by Clemont's machine he made.
"Wait, when did you-" Alex said, he was surprised that Clemont made a machine for this scenario.
"It's a Pikabot!" Ash said, as he knew what Clemont made.
"What is this, now?" Alex said, what did Ash say that Clemont made?
"I call it my Automatic Pikachu Retrieval Device!" Clemont said, as he named his Pikachu device to find Pikachu.
"So cool!" Ash said as he was amazed on it.
"Pikachu Retrieval Device?" Serena said as she was stumped on Clemont's name of the machine?
"You get no points for good names." Bonnie said, knowing that was pretty awful for a name.
"None from me." Dedenne said, knowing that seemed like a weak name.
"Observe! This detects Pikachu's unique energy pattern and will track it to the farthest reachs of land, the bottom of the ocean, or the expanse in the sky!" Clemont observed as the radio satelite was trying to pick up a signal to Pikachu.
"Great! Now we'll find Pikachu for sure!" Ash said as this was good to find his partner.
"And Madame X too." Alex said, hopefully madame x would be found.
"It's incredibly inspiring that the steady progress of science can never be stopped!" Clemont said, knowing that science would not fail.
"Pika, Pika, Pika, Pika..." The Pikachu Bot said as it was using a satelite to look for a signal for Pikachu.
"It's picked up a signal! Onward! Go, Automatic Pikachu Retrieval Device!" Clemont said as he cheered for his machine to move onward to find Ash's Pikachu.
"Pika, Pika! Pika, Pika!" The Pikachu Bot said as it spun around and started to move on it's own two wheels.
"Begin retrieval! Let's go!" Clemont said as Ash was following the machine in hopes of it working.
"Ash, wait up!" Serena said as she chased after Ash who was being followed by Clemont.
"Slow down!" Bonnie called out.
"You can't forget about us!" Alex said as he then followed Serena.
"I'm coming!" Bonnie said as she began to follow them.
"Nyeh? Hey! What about me!?" Meowth said as he was following them now.
"Pika, Pika, Pika, Pika. Pika, Pika, Pika!" The Pikachu Bot said as it was continuing through toward the radio observatory where it smashed into a fence.
"Hey, everyone... What's going on up ahead?" Clemont said, as he was getting tired.
"Pi...Pi...Pi...Pi..." The Pikachu Bot mumbled as it got stuck on a steeled fence where it didn't break through.
"I think... it's stuck." Serena said as she noticed the machine was stuck in the fence.
"..." The Machine got stuck in the fence so bad with it overheating on it's nonmovements that it caused it to explode and destroy itself, while the machine didn't destroy itself as it caused the group to be startled by this and have poofy fluffy hair.
"Oops... Another failure..." Serena said, knowing it backfired on them badly.
"*Cough*" Bonnie coughed out.
"Failure is the mother of success... I so want to believe that..." Clemont said, knowing failure is a key success.
"..." The group was looking through an open hole in the fencing as they looked out for Madame X while Clemont worked on his Pika bot once again.
"Okay, we're all set. Now, why don't we see how you work?" Clemont said as he was trying to slowly rebuild it brand new again
"Pika, Pi.. Pi.. Pi.. Pika... Pi... Pi..." The Pika Bot spluttered out as it was severly broken and weaken from the explosion.
"That's odd. Perhaps a loose wire." Clemont said as he noticed the machine was acting weak and broken.
"That's the radio observatory we saw before." Serena said as they were peeking through and looking.
"Why would Madame X be here?" Alex said, what would a radio place be as a hideout?
"Look! Isn't that officer jenny's motorcycle?" Bonnie said as she pointed and noticed something familiar to them.
"Huh?" Alex said as the group noticed the motorcycle was there.
"You're right! Wonder what she's doing here." Ash said, he was intrigued.
"Maybe Madame X had messed with the signals and so they called officer jenny to fix the problem and track her down?" Alex said, maybe Madame X had something to do with the radio's.
"You know, if that Pikabot of yours was on the right track. Maybe this weird joint is Madame X's hideout." Meowth said as the radio place could be Madame X's hideout.
"Huh?" The group gasped, what if it was true?
"Could be. Officer Jenny could have gotten a report and went to investigate. I'd say the probability is quite high." Clemont theorized, maybe Officer Jenny would be in there to see what's going on.
"Then let's ask her about Madame X, maybe she knows." Alex said, knowing if they can find her. They can learn about Madame X!
"Okay, let's go in!" Ash said, knowing this was their chance.
"Right!" Bonnie said, knowing they should get going.
Inside Madame X's hideout.
"Now... You will obey me!" Malamar said as he used his light powers to hypnotize Pikachu.
"I... ugh...Yes..." Pikachu groaned out before succumbing the Madame X and climbing up the small destroyed cameras and tvs onto Madame X's lap.
"Hah! Now you belong to me. Come, Pikachu!" Madame X said as she knew she had Pikachu.
"Yes..." Pikachu said as he made his way up to Madame X.
"Aah... Good.. I just know you'll work very hard for me." Madame X said as she was happy that Pikachu was under her command.
"Yes... Madame X." Pikachu said as he obeyed the order no problem.
"Madame X, we have intruders." Jessie said, knowing they have intruders and showing them the cameras they had.
"So they've found my hideout... Those fools! They're going to pay for this!" Madame X scowled, knowing this was bad.
"They have the Pokemon Chespin, Froakie and Fennekin with them. Perhaps you'd like to make them as servants, too." James explained, knowing they had the Kalos Starters to have them as their servants.
"Yes, I would. They should all prove to be quite useful." Madame X said, maybe they could be useful for her.
"It's time..." Malamar said, knowing the plan was in tact for them.
With our group of heroes inside Madame X's hideout
"We should split up..." Ash said, knowing they needed to split in two different directions.
"Right! Bonnie, come with me!" Clemont said, wanting her little sister to come with him in one way.
"Okay, we'll go down here!" Ash said as he pointed to a direction with Serena to go with.
"I guess im stuck with you. Buddy-rival." Alex said as he wanted to stick with Ash.
"Ehh, Better than no one." Meowth said, knowing they had to stick together.
With Clemont and Bonnie
"Officer Jenny... since we saw her motorcycle parked outside, she's got to be in here.
"Yeah, but where is she? I wonder if Madame X got a hold of her." Bonnie said, where would the officer be?
"Look out! There!" Dedenne said as he warned them from bonnie's bag, seeing Malamar.
"Malamar!" Clemont said as he saw Malamar in front of them.
"Welcome." Malamar said with a smug look on his face.
"Malamar!" Bonnie cried out, seeing the Pokemon in front of them.
"So this is Madame X's hideout, isn't it?!" Clemont said, knowing this was the place.
"Yes, you are correct. Now it's time to come along." Malamar said as he used his hypnotic powers to catch Bonnie and Clemont off guard which worked as they were now hypnotized by the Malamar himself, being under their heir.
"Heheh... Look at that. Easy." Malamar chuckled as he knew it was easy as it was.
With Ash, Serena, Alex & Meowth.
"Not in here." Ash said as he continued his search.
"I wonder if Clemont found any sign of them." Serena said, as she wondered if they were both okay from their search.
"Well, hopefully they respond soon." Alex said, hopeful they are okay.
"Negative... I haven't found a trace of them..." Clemont muttered out as he and Bonnie were walking like zombies, being under Malamar's control.
"Ash, Alex, Serena... let's all continue looking together..." Bonnie moaned out, knowing they were under control.
"Come on..." Dedenne said, knowing it was to come for their turn.
"Clemont...? Bonnie...?" Ash said as he felt creeped out.
"Oh wait, their eyes... Oh no, are they..?" Alex said, now he was wondering as he saw their eyes.
"Kinda.. But their being controlled now, too!" Meowth said, knowing what the case was now.
"I guess you were right on your story." Alex said, being honest with Meowth.
"And you'll join too." Malamar said, knowing he'll make them servants.
"Malamar?" Serena said as he appeared behind them, which caused them to turn their heads.
"Come along... it's game over." Malamar said as he used his hypnotic powers.
"Don't look at it, twerps!" Meowth said, trying to get them to look at it.
"Let's run!" Ash said as the two of them blocked their path.
"They're on my side." Malamar smugly said as it was keep them from escaping.
"Oh no, what are we gonna do now!?" Serena said, what was their plan!?
"Fight them to-" Alex said before ash had a plan.
"I know! Use Fury Swipes on me, fast!" Ash said as he had an idea.
"Right! Hwaaaah! Now me!" Meowth said as he used Fury Swipes on Ash multiple times before doing it on himself to inflict pain to not look at the light.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow..." Ash cried out as he knew it was painful but smart.
"Man does that hurt! And I'm afraid your mug's up next!" Meowth cried out as he was targeting Serena and Alex.
"No, No! I don't want my face to end up all scratched like that!" Serena cried out, she didn't want to be like Ash.
"Yeah! I've suffered worse... But no thanks!" Alex said as he chimed in with Serena.
"Then join me you two..." Malamar said as he used his bright hypnotic light towards them using it on Serena first.
"Ahh... Uhhh.." Serena guggled out before succumbing to Malamar's hypnotic light and having her eyes souless, being caught in the process.
"Serena!" Ash cried out, Alex then pushed Serena and looked at Meowth.
"Yeah.. I've changed my mind. HIT ME!" Alex said as he looked at Meowth and removed his glasses from his face..
"Right away, You glassed mug!" Meowth said as he began to fury swipe Alex all over the face.
"Ow.. Ow.. Ow... OW! Worth it!" Alex cried out in pain as he put on his glasses and embraced the pain.
"We're too late on saving her! We've gotta scram out of here, quick!" Meowth said as Ash and Alex were lost on saving Serena.
"Sounds good, but how do we do that?!" Ash said, knowing what their plan was to get out.
"What? What is it? Get away from me!" Alex said as Serena was walking to him, Ash noticed a planet held on by a rope that could be cut..
"Meowth, can you cut that thing loose?!" Ash said, noticing the planet could be Malamar's giveaway.
"No problem!" Meowth said as he leaped and cut off the rope with his fury swipes, dropping a cloned replica of a planet onto Malamar.
"Huh? Hmph." Malamar said as he looked up and used Psychic to hold it in place.
"Great job, meowth!" Ash said as the three of them fled away.
"Sorry you three! We'll hurry and knock your senses straight!" Alex promised to Serena, Bonnie and Clemont to get them back.
"Hurmph! Run while you can!" Malamar muttered out as he threw the replica aside and he made a cry, knowing they got away for now.
"..." Ash, Alex and Meowth ran through the empty hallways of the radio observatory in hopes to find where they can to get officer jenny or to flee malamar.
"Dig it, maybe now we'll finally get the chance to stomp all over Madame X's plans to take over the world and save our buddies at the same time!" Meowth
"Got it!" Alex said, knowing this would work if needed.
"Gotcha! Hey, where are we?" Ash said as they headed to a monitor room but they were unsure.
"It's way too dark to know for sure, but I think we're inside the monitoring room!" Meowth said, knowing it was dark but it was a monitored room.
"Then what should we do here?" Alex said as the lights dimmed onto Madame X.
"Well. You never know. But you thought correctly." Madame X said as she was impressed they made it.
"Pikachu!" Ash said, seeing his buddy all possessed.
"Madame X!?" Alex exclaimed, seeing Madame X in sight.
"Show them your power!" Madame X said as she let Pikachu do the damage.
"Thunderbolt..." Pikachu said as he used thunderbolt by Madame X's orders.
"Gaaaahhh!" Ash cried out as he was hurt by Pikachu's own power.
"Twerp! Are you okay?!" Meowth said, why would Ash be okay from that?
"Why would Pikachu attack me like that?" Ash said, why would Pikachu attack him?
"Check out the eyes." Meowth said as he noticed Pikachu's eyes were like the others. Possessed and hypnotized by Malamar.
"Holy cow, Pikachu is under Madame X's control like you did say. Meowth!" Alex said, now he was really with Meowth here.
"Yeah, Pikachu's been hypnotized by Malamar!" Meowth said, knowing Pikachu was also under Madame X's orders.
"Madame X is my master..." Pikachu said, knowing the true way of his hypnotism.
"No way!" Ash said, denying the face.
"Pikachu has become my faithful and obedient servant! Now, stop them once and for all!" Madame X said, knowing that stopping them to become their servants was a step in her goal.
"Understood... Quick attack!" Pikachu said as he used Quick Attack at Ash, knocking him back.
"Pikachu..!" Ash said, knowing that Pikachu would not do that to him.
"Magnificent! Continue your wonderful work!" Madame X said as she was enjoying what Pikachu was doing.
"Right... Electro Ball!" Pikachu said as he focused his attention onto Alex and threw an electro ball at him.
"Whoa!" Alex said as he dodged an electro ball from Pikachu as he landed. Staring at Alex.
"Come on, Pikachu. Don't listen to her. I don't want you to attack us!" Alex said as he didn't want to hurt Ash's buddy.
"Hmph, Iron Tail!" Pikachu said as his tail glowed and whipped at Ash.
"Stop! Pikachu!" Ash said as he dodged an Iron Tail before getting by another.
"Pikachu can't hear a word you say! Madame X has taken over Pikachu's noggin!" Meowth said, knowing Pikachu was trapped by Madame X's spell.
"Do we need to battle? I can try to knock pikachu some sense into us!" Alex said, knowing that Pikachu needed some sense to be knocked into.
"No.. I don't believe it. Pikachu's still my number-one partner! And my friend! I know you can hear me!" Ash said, knowing Ash would be able to hear him.
"Give it up, Ash..." Serena said as she had entered with Clemont and Bonnie, still under Madame X's possession.
"Guys...!?" Alex said as he was startled by Serena, Clemont and Bonnie's arrival.
"No matter how you fight, you cannot resist Madame X." Bonnie said, knowing Madame X was the best they had as a master under their spell of hypnotism.
"The world now belongs to Madame X, with Pikachu and the Pokemon Patrol." Clemont said, knowing that the world was under their control.
"What Pokemon Patrol..." Alex said as the doors behind them had opened up for them to have a couple pokemon that were under Malamar's possesion too! There was a lot of them, A beedrill, A pangoro, an exploud, a scolipede, and a noivern had all been sitting and waiting to patrol and join the side of Malamar, scaring the three of them as they were following orders.
"Whoa..." Ash and Alex cried out as they were freaked out over by the Pokemon that were possessed by Madame X and the Patrol were to get them.
"Hahah, Pikachu, finish this. Take the boy with the hat first." Madame X said, wanting Pikachu to finish the job, starting to attack Ash first.
"Right. Electro Ball!" Pikachu said as he fired off another electro ball on the trio.
"Whoa!" The three of them cried out as they dodged the Electro ball again, Ash got caught up and was on the ground on his elbows and knees.
"Thunderbolllt..." Pikachu said as he used a thunderbolt right on Ash.
"Gaaaah! Aaaah..." Ash said as he was shocked once again.
"Pika... Pika..." The Pikachu Bot spluttered out as it was slowly getting a signal.
"Pikachu... my voice... Can you hear it..." Ash said, trying to slowly head to Pikachu, in hopes of getting to him.
"Fight it.. You can't give in to her!" Ash called out, knowing Madame X would not let her take over.
"You fool. You cannot win." Madame X said, knowing Ash would not let Pikachu hear his voice.
"Pikachu... buddy. I believe in you... We're a team." Ash said as he slowly reached out and touched Pikachu.
"What..?" Pikachu said as he stopped using thunderbolt.
"What are you doing? Attack the boy!" Madame X said, being annoyed and demanded for another attack on ash.
"That's it Pikachu, You can break free!" Ash said, knowing Pikachu can break free from Madame X's hypnotism powers and come to him.
"I... am..." Pikachu said as he was shaken.
"Whatever bond may be left, I will soon break that connection forever! Pikachu! Stop him now!" Madame X said as she promised that whatever they had left would be broken as she knew this will be for naught and commanded Pikachu to attack Ash again.
"This I gotta see." Malamar said as he was next to Madame X and was interested on what was happening.
"No, Pikachu! Listen to him! He's your friend!" Alex said, knowing Pikachu was Ash's partner and friend.
"I can... I can't... I.. I.." Pikachu said as he was struggling to attack on Ash or listen to him.
"Pika.. Pika!" The Pikachu Bot said as it began to pick up a signal on Pikachu.
"I... how..." Pikachu said as he continued to struggle on what to do.
"You can do it, Pikachu!" Ash said, believing in Pikachu more and more.
"Naarrghh..." Pikachu groaned out.
"Pika..! Pika, Pika, Pika!" The Pikachu Bot said as it was in the same room with everyone else and jumped right toward Pikachu who was struggling to attack.
"What the..." Pikachu said as he stopped the movement and looked.
"Look out!" Ash said as he grabbed his partner.
"Pika, Pika.. Pika.. Pika!" The Pikachu Bot sputtered out as it charged towards the Malamar and jumped, getting hit by the explosion as it was inflicted with pain.
"What!? GRRRAAAAAHHH! Ooaahhh..." Malamar cried out as he was hit powerfully by the Pikachu Boy which exploded him and did a big chunk of damage.
"Oaaaahhh...!" Madame X groaned out as she was shrieking in pain and fell down from the mountain of monitors and tv's she sat on.
"..." Soon, everyone who was hypnotized were back to normal after Malamar had hypnotized them.
"What? Ash, what happened?" Pikachu said as he was confused.
"Pikachu? Yeah! Yes, Yes!" Ash said as he was happy that Pikachu was back to normal.
"What happened? Why are we here?" Jessie said as they were puzzled on what happened to them.
"Most likely to figure out where we are." James said as they looked around inside the monitor room of the radio observatory they were in.
"I'm dizzy." Wobbuffet said, he was puzzled on what happened.
"You're you again! Big improvement!" Meowth exclaimed excitingly as he was happy that Team Rocket was back to normal.
"Uh.. So who can tell me what Serena's doing over here?" Clemont said as they were puzzled on what they were doing and why was Serena here?
"I guess Malamar was controlling me as well!" Serena said, knowing that Malamar was controlling them all.
"You guys are back to normal! You're all yous again!" Alex said as he was pleased to see them all okay and fine again.
"Look! There's Madame X!" Bonnie said as she pointed to the Madame X, getting all of everyone's attention.
"Oh, Madame X! Surrender. Or we will take you to officer jenny to-" Alex said as he noticed Madame X was on her knees from the sudden Pikachu Bot attack.
"..." The brown cloak coat came off as the answers were revaled to see not a crazy girl but officer jenny was Madame X herself! What on earth!? Everyone was shocked to see Officer Jenny be the mysterious Madame X.
"Officer Jenny!" Ash exclaimed, that was Madame X all along?!
"Wait, What!? Why is she Madame X?!" Alex said, what was going on? And why?
"What am I.. doing? I got a report that strange things were going on here and hurried over, right away.. Then... I ran into that Malamar." Officer Jenny said as she felt like reality kicked in when she remembered she was on her bike heading to the radio observatory and then encountering the Malamar, she was confused when...
"Huah! Hahaahaha!" Malamar cried out and laughed which startled Officer Jenny.
This is just brilliant, I'm so grateful for that human doing all that work for me!" Malamar said, knowing his plan was in good hands from all the chaos he did..
"Hey, Malamar's saying that it's really grateful to Officer Jenny for doing all of its work for it!" Meowth said as he translated what Malamar said.
"What's going on?!" Serena said, she was very confused.
"How does that make sense? If there was reports here, then maybe someone else was here!" Alex said, trying to use logic to assume how would Malamar make a report and hypnotize Officer Jenny.
"Of course! Malamar must have hypnotized Officer Jenny so she could assume the role of Madame X!" Clemont said, knowing what Malamar was doing all along! He took Officer Jenny into a servant to make her Madame X.
"You're correct. And her assistance has may be able to work on a brand new secret weapon." Malamar said as he chimed in on what Clemont said as he revealed his plan to the entire group, getting everyone's attention.
"Malamar says that's how it was able to start working on an important new weapon!" Meowth said as he translated what Malamar said to them.
"A new weapon!?" Alex said, what did he mean by new weapon?
"New weapon?" Officer Jenny said, repeating what Alex said.
"And what are you gonna do with it?!" Ash demanded to know, everyone was mad on what Malamar said.
"And why?!" Pikachu demanded, Malamar smirked at then.
"To conquer the world. This important weapon will maintain everything in existance." Malamar said, explaining what he wanted to do with the new weapon of his was about.
"Take over the world!" Meowth said, wanting to know what Malamar wanted. This got Alex's attention.
"Wait, What?! You want to take over the world!? Why!" Alex said, wanting to know why does Malamar want to take over the world? Why does Malamar hate this world so much to conquer it?
"Because this disgusting place has nothing to do with our wishes! It's all disgusting. But with the weapons, it will change." Malamar explained, knowing why he hated the world. Shocking alex on his plane.
"Then that means, we'll be doing all of the work for Malamar life before!" Meowth said, knowing that the work was for the weapon.
"Oh, In your dreams! Inkay! Psybeam!" James said, not letting Malamar have these dreams of his get in the way.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt. Let's go!" Ash said, letting Pikachu attack as payback.
"Wait! Should we have a reason to attack instead of co-operating with Malamar!?" Alex said as Serena looked at him.
"No use now, Alex!" Serena said as Inkay and Pikachu began to attack Malamar.
"Pssybeeaam!" Inkay said as he fired off a Psybeam.
"Alright, Thunderbolllt!" Pikachu said as a mix of Psybeam and Thunderbolt headed to Malamar, causing a small explosion.
"You're all very foolish, attack all you want. It's hopeless!" Malamar said as he escaped from the top and began to flee to somewhere else. Somewhere in the radio observatory, Clemont noticed.
"It's fleeing!" Clemont said as it was running away.
"Come back and fight you coward!" Jessie said, letting Malamar run away easily.
"We'll get it!" Ash said, as they all chased Malamar to it's location where it was running away.
"Get back here, Malamar!" Pikachu demanded, as soon as they followed Malamar to the next room. They were met with a shocking scene.
"Oh!?" Ash gasped as everyone entered the scene to see a mind control device all covered with stickiness as a control device as it looked like roots had dug in to a place of the empty radio observatory with it being covered with mind control roots.
"What's all this!?" Pikachu said, what was this place.
"What's that!?" Ash asked, what was going on?
"The new weapon. This is it!" Officer Jenny said, knowing what Malamar was planning. It was the newest weapon to the world, a mind control weapon machinery!
"You're right. This is how the new world starts. And that's only the beginning of it's evil grand design!" Malamar said as he was telling them about the new world and it's evil grand design.
"That's right, This is how the new world starts. And that will only be the beginning of it's evil grand design!" Meowth copied what Malamar said before, which he smirked about.
"But... now that it's been discovered, I'll have to destroy it myself right away!" Malamar said, knowing it was found and he would have to destroy it to remove the evidence the group saw for the police to have no info.
"But, now that it's been discovered by human's, Malamar must destroy it right away!" Meowth said, observing and coping what Malamar had said before-hand as Malamar smirked.
"Wait, Malamar! Is there a reason why you want a new world? Why do you hate ours?!" Alex said, demanding an answer from the crazy pokemon and it's goal.
"That answer is unknown from me. But you'll soon see." Malamar said, now he was ready to blow it all up.
"..." Soon the white lights glowed bright as the weapon began to explode several times as Malamar was enjoying it from the chaos that was going on as the group tried to stop Malamar's destructive tactics.
"Observe the destruction!" Malamar said as it soon was enjoying the destruction that it was bringing.
"Malamar, stop!" Ash called out to the crazy pokemon.
"We've got to run! It's going to blow!" Officer Jenny said as she told everyone to run for it!
"..." Everyone began to flee the weapon's destruction as the radio observatory was exploding from Malamar's plans, due to this all of the Pokemon that Malamar captured had fled also with everyone inside. The radio observatory was soon exploding and it was gone in an instant due to the destruction, the Pokemon gave them some sort of Protection to help out.
"Muahahah!" Malamar laughed as it escaped the explosion and began to leave the radio observatory.
"Look, It's Malamar!" Bonnie said as she noticed Malamar was flying away from the damage it did.
"Goodbye.. Fools!" Malamar laughed maniacally as he was long gone, out of sight.
"The beginning of it's evil grand design... Those words came from Malamar." Clemont said, knowing the beginning of it's evil grand design was something not to take lightly.
"What does it mean? What happens next?" Serena wondered, what will they do now against Malamar?
"Morely, why doesn't Malamar like this world? Why does he want to conquer it for himself?" Alex questioned, why did Malamar want to conquer this world for himself? What was wrong with it.
"Well, there are still a lot of questions left unanswered." Officer Jenny
"Malamar... That's one scary Pokemon." Ash said, knowing Malamar is a very dangerous and scary Pokemon to witness before-hand.
"Truly." Pikachu said, knowing that was the case.
With Team Rocket who fled.
"Being controlled by Malamar like a bunch of robots... How pathetic can we get?" Jessie said as they were sitting on rocks, moaning out how bad they were cause they were in control by Malamar as they felt dumb.
"You said it.." Wobbuffet moaned out as he was in the mix.
"Eh? Hold the phone... Malamar's the evolved form of Inkay, right?" Meowth said as he realized something, Malamar was the evolved form of Inkay.
"Huh? Inkay?" James said as that got their attention and peeked over at Inkay who looked confused.
"Uh.. Oh yeah! I remember." Inkay muttered as then he smiled and chuckled.
"Nnnhhh. EEEEEK..." Team Rocket shuddered as they felt shivers now. Would James want to evolve his Inkay?
Our heroes and Officer Jenny are left wondering what Malamar's master plan could be. But Ash and Alex's Cyllage City gym battle still lies ahead, as the mystery will never be known. As the journey continues! Stay tuned...
