Author's Note:
Hey, guys, here is the very last chapter for now. Like I said a few chapters earlier, I don't know when I'm going to resume this story but I'm going to try to get this story up and running again as soon as possible since I've been very busy anyway. In the meantime, enjoy!
Also, before I forget, I put all of the dialogue that the Pokemon speak in this episode in bold since they are speaking another language and as a general rule whenever a character in my story is speaking in another language, it's always written in bold.

Chapter 15 – Island Of The Giant Pokemon
After what seemed like an eternity, Rhonda eventually came to as she stirred and opened her eyes with heavy breathing and groans. Ash also came to as he eventually regained his bearings.
"Huh? How did I get on a beach?" he wondered to himself as he then started to look around the desolate and empty beach. "Misty? Brock? Rhonda? Katie? Luthor? Jasmine? Shirley? Yuki? Anybody?"
He then finally noticed his friends lying beside him unconscious as he tried to nudge Misty awake. "Misty! Misty, get up! Hey, Brock!"
Misty and Brock groaned softly as they all came to and started to slowly regain their bearings. The rest of the gang also stirred and opened their eyes as they all slowly but surely regained their bearings.
"Where are we?" Katie murmured softly, still slightly disoriented.
"How did we get here?" Misty asked.
"How did we survive that cyclone?" Brock inquired quizzically, not believing that they were still somehow alive.
"Hey, we were lucky. But where did Pikachu go?" Ash beamed gratefully as he glanced around for any sign of Pikachu and then panicked when he noticed that nearly all of his Poke Balls were missing.
"I only have two of my Pokemon!" he yelled.
"We're also missing one Pokemon each," Shirley quipped as she and each of her teammates checked their utility belts and noticed that they were all missing one Pokemon.
"Where could they possibly be?" Yuki frowned worriedly as she began to scan the beach anxiously for any sign of the missing Pokemon.

Meanwhile, a Krabby was crawling slowly on the sandy beach as it noticed both James and Jessie buried deep upside down in the sand. It then poked curiously at them for a few moments before clicking its pincher claws and then grabbing onto their legs tightly.
James and Jessie then jumped straight out of the sand while screaming shrilly in pain as the Krabby quickly walked away with a mischievous grin. Moments later, James and Jessie landed back on the ground as they studied their new surroundings with awe and amazement.
"Could it be…?" Jessie quipped.
"Does this mean…?" James whispered.
"We survived again!" James and Jessie sobbed as they embraced each other gratefully.
"We're the completely invincible…" Jessie smirked confidentially.
"Unbeatable…" James declared boldly.
"Team Rocket!" the two chorused triumphantly.
"But I don't hear any annoying…" Jessie murmured curiously as she suddenly noticed that she didn't see Meowth anywhere.
"Complaining…" James concurred.
"Meowth is missing!" James and Jessie chorused in horror, now realizing their predicament.
Jessie then started panicking when she realized that she was also missing her Pokemon.
"Oh! I've lost the Poke Ball with the Ekans I got for my birthday last year!"
"Oh! The Poke Ball with the Koffing I got for Christmas is gone, too!" James wailed in a panicked and frantic voice.
"And we're totally broke," James whimpered as he held out his purse bag and shook it open, revealing that it was totally empty.
"We're penniless and Poke-less," Jessie sighed dejectedly as she then got down on her knees and scooped up sand in her hands. "How will we survive? Time is running out for the both of us."
"We could always call for help," James suggested.
"Huh?" Jessie quipped.
"Look over there," James announced as he pointed at a nearby phone booth. "A phone booth."
"Aren't we lucky?" Jessie laughed as she felt hopeful that perhaps their luck may finally be turning around. "Now we can call someone for help."
"But we don't have any change," James sighed sadly as his face suddenly fell, becoming very crestfallen.
"And without any change…" Jessie whimpered softly.
"Our luck sure has changed," James and Jessie wailed softly as they both hung their heads in defeat and resignation.
Meanwhile, three Poke Balls were lying on the sand as Pikachu walked over to them curiously.
"What's this?" Pikachu murmured softly to himself as he studied the Poke Balls curiously. "Ash's Poke Balls!"
He then started to tap on the Poke Balls one by one as all of the Pokemon emerged from them.
"Come out, everyone!"
"Char…" Charmander groaned while holding his head sorely as it, Bulbasaur and Squirtle were all feeling out of sorts.
"Are you all okay?" Pikachu asked everyone.
"I'm all right," Charmander answered.
"I've felt better," Squirtle groaned.
"I'm just fine," Bulbasaur scoffed neutrally.
"Whoa, that was quite a trip, guys," Bubba groaned with his eyes spinning haphazardly as he shook his head furiously.
"Where are we?" Squirtle asked worriedly.
"Are we lost?" Bulbasaur inquired curiously.
"I'm afraid we are," Butterfree chirped sadly with its antennae drooping slightly.
"What is this place?" Charmander asked.
"I don't know," Pikachu answered while glancing around the beach.
He was then surprised to see a Slowpoke relaxing on a flat rock right in front of the ocean.
Pikachu and Charmander then walked over to the Slowpoke in order to speak to it and ask it for directions.
"Hello!" Pikachu greeted it with a smile and a wave.
"Could you tell us where we are?" Charmander asked.
However, the Slowpoke just sat there and said nothing as it continued to lounge about lazily on the rock with a blank and empty stare.
"Can't you hear us?" Charmander demanded in a confused and baffled voice.
"Where are we?" Pikachu asked Slowpoke.
"Can you help us out?" Charmander pleaded earnestly.
The Slowpoke said nothing as it then finally got up and backed away slowly before dipping its tail into the water. Pikachu and Charmander could do nothing but stare at the strange Pokemon in utter bewilderment as they tried to make sense of its bizarre and puzzling actions.
"It sure is peaceful here," Squirtle smiled as it and Bulbasaur were relaxing on the sand.
"Yeah!" Bulbasaur agreed.
Then as night fell, Pikachu and the rest of the lost Pokemon were wandering the forest in search of Ash and the rest of the team.
"Rhonda? Rhonda?" Blaze hollered.
"Katie?" Waldo yelled.
"Luthor? Luthor dude?" Bubba growled.
"Jasmine? Jasmine?" Golbat growled hoarsely while flapping around anxiously.
"Yuki? Yuki?" Growlithe whimpered while cowering close to its friends apprehensively.
"Shirley!" Butterfree shrieked shrilly while flapping its wings frantically.
"I don't see Ash and those guys anywhere," Pikachu observed.
"They just disappeared," Charmander frowned worriedly.
"Maybe they all got eaten by wild Pokemon!" Squirtle grinned mischievously by wrapping its arms around the back of its head.
He then proceeded to make a very ferocious and scary looking face.
"Squirt! Squirt! Squirt!"
"Cut it out, Squirtle! That's not funny!" Butterfree scolded it sternly with narrowed eyes.
"Don't say things like that!" Pikachu rebuked it sharply.
"Yeah, cut it out," Charmander agreed.
"Sorry!" Squirtle laughed while rubbing the back of its head sheepishly.
"Maybe Ash forgot all about us," Bulbasaur suggested.
"You think so?" Charmander stammered nervously at the thought of being abandoned yet again.
"Ash would never do that!" Pikachu shot back angrily at Bulbasaur.
"Neither would Rhonda!" Blaze argued fiercely.
"And Katie!" Waldo yelled.
"And Luthor!" Bubba roared.
"You're right, he's not like that," Squirtle concurred.
"Maybe," Bulbasaur conceded reluctantly.
Unbeknownst to everyone however, Meowth, Ekans and Koffing were secretly spying on them from a nearby set of bushes.
"So, Pikachu and his friends survived?" Meowth whispered softly in amazement. "Ha! That means I can finally get my revenge!"
He then stepped out of the bushes as he went over to confront his enemies.
"All right, Pokemon, surrender!" he ordered as everyone turned around to face him.
"You again?!" Blaze growled indignantly with its flame tail burning furiously.
"Who's that?" Bulbasaur asked.
"Don't you remember, you guys?" Waldo growled while pointing at Meowth. "That Meowth is with Team Rocket!"
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light. Surrender now, or prepare to fight!" Meowth declared as Ekan and Koffing also joined him.
"It's just Meowth," Pikachu said.
"See! Whadda I tell ya, guys?" Waldo growled tersely.
Meowth then groaned sharply before fainting onto the ground as it soon dawned on him that Pikachu and his friends don't seem to particularly care or notice.
"I guess the Team Rocket motto is starting to lose its impact," Meowth groaned dejectedly. "Never mind."
He then pointed right at the heroes as he prepared to sic Ekans and Koffing on them.
"Okay, guys, go get them!"
"Are you freaking serious right now?" Bubba scoffed incredulously.
"This guy thinks he's so tough!" Blaze laughed hysterically while slapping his knee and cackling raucously.
"Hell yeah!" Waldo cackled as he laughed right along with Blaze.
However, nothing happened and Meowth soon turned around to see that Ekans and Koffing were just standing there and not listening to him.
"Hey! I said go get them!" Meowth yelled irately.
"You not Master!" Ekans hissed defiantly.
"Not Master!" Koffing groaned deeply.
"What?" Meowth gawked in a baffled and perplexed voice.
"I only obey Master," Ekans insisted firmly.
"Only Master," Koffing also insisted.
"Masters?! I'm twice as smart as those two-watt lightbulbs you're calling masters," Meowth scoffed incredulously, not believing his ears.
"Master is Master!" Ekans hissed.
"Yes, yes!" Koffing exclaimed in agreement.
"Those two are not very bright, are they?" Growlithe hissed to Golbat and the rest of its friends discreetly as they listened in on Meowth's conversation with Ekans and Koffing.
"Definitely," Golbat nodded.
"Come on, we're all bad guys here," Meowth insisted empathetically. "We don't need masters to tell us to go out and do bad stuff."
"Pokemon not bad guys!" Ekans hissed with a snarl.
"That's right!" Koffing agreed.
"There's no such thing as a bad Pokemon?" Meowth stammered in confusion and bewilderment.
"Pokemon do bad things… because Master bad!" Ekans explained with a deep hiss.
"It can't be!" Meowth exclaimed in horror while holding his head in his paws. "My master's not around, and I always seem to act like a rat."
"All right Meowth!" Squirtle snapped at Meowth.
"It's up to you!" Bulbasaur declared.
"You sure you want to fight…" Pikachu growled challengingly.
"Against all of us?" Charmander growled audaciously.
"This ain't fair! You got me outnumbered!" Meowth protested as he soon realized that he was being surrounded by Pikachu and his friends.
"Let's beat the stuffing out of him!" Bubba declared with a haughty, derisive grin.
He then waved over to Ekans and Koffing in a desperate bid to get them to help him.
"Hey, I could use a little help over here!"
"You're surrounded now, you mangy little fleabag!" Blaze cackled evilly.
"Your precious little masters aren't here to save you now!" Waldo chuckled darkly while pounding his fist into his paw.
However, Ekans and Koffing were flat out ignoring him and were busy having a little impromptu tea party, with Ekans sipping contently on its cup of tea.
Meowth then let out an exasperated groan as he collapsed straight onto the ground and fell face-down.
"It's no use," he groaned as he regained his bearings and then sat right up with his arms crossed and a satisfied smile. "Oh, well, I guess I'll let you guys off easy and call it a draw."
Then, sometime later, everyone was sitting around a campfire while eating berries and apples as they were busy relaxing and enjoying themselves.
"Boy, I can't wait until we get back home and I get to enjoy that nice Lena lady's delicious home cooking again," Blaze smiled with great satisfaction as he bit into a delicious apple.
"There's actually food at Rhonda's house?!" Waldo gawked in surprise at Blaze.
"Yeah, when I was still a Charmander, I remember sitting around at the kitchen table in the mornings and eating all of that delicious food," Blaze explained as he continued to munch on his apple.
"What were you guys doing?" Pikachu asked.
"Looking for Masters," Ekans explained.
"Masters gone," Koffing whimpered softly.
"That's really awful!" Charmander nodded sympathetically.
"Ours are gone too," Squirtle quipped as it and Bulbasaur were still eating their food.
"They abandoned us," Bulbasaur interjected nonchalantly while still feasting on bugs and fruits, prompting Squirtle to gawk at it with fear.
"Abandoned?!" Ekans gulped in horror as it then glanced over at Koffing. "Maybe us, too!"
"Abandoned?" Koffing whimpered uncertainly.
"You're all wrong!" Pikachu shook his head vehemently.
"I'm sure they're looking for you," Charmander reassured them calmly.
"Hey, guys!" Meowth hollered as everyone turned around to see Meowth tied to a tree right near them. "Ain't you ever going to stop stuffing your faces and give Meowth something to eat?!"
"How about you shut your damn mouth?" Bubba snickered snidely as he and Waldo were barely able to hold back their giggles.
"Are you sorry for all that you've done to us?" Squirtle asked while still holding his half-eaten apple.
"I don't apologize!" Meowth insisted stubbornly while turning away from Squirtle.
"Then no food for Meowth!" Squirtle declared smugly as he then tossed the rest of the apple into his mouth with a satisfied and content smile.
"Stop making fun of me!" Meowth protested angrily while struggling against his binds. "Untie me and give me something to eat! Huh?"
Just then everyone started in full attention as they all heard a loud, rumbling sound with the ground shaking violently.
"What is that?" Butterfree stammered while shaking fearfully.
It was then that a humongous Rhydon with glowing red eyes appeared as it let out a loud, thundering roar, prompting everyone to scream in terror. As the Rhydon started to advance quickly towards the Pokemon, Pikachu and his friends decided to make a run for it as they all abandoned camp and headed straight into the forest.
"That's one big Pokemon," Meowth whispered in awe as he watched the Rhydon loom ominously over them.
However, he soon panicked when he realized that everyone was leaving him behind.
"Wait! Somebody come and untie me!" he pleaded desperately.
He was then surprised when he noticed Pikachu quickly untying him and the binds fell off. Meowth then gazed at Pikachu quizzically for a moment before he glared at him with utter disgust and contempt.
"I could've gotten out myself," he insisted as he then stormed off in a huff.
"Where are you, Ash?" Pikachu whispered softly.

Meanwhile, Ash, Misty, Brock and the others were racing frantically through the woods as they appeared to be chased by a large yellow electric flying Pokemon with glowing yellow eyes. The Pokemon then unleashed a massive shockwave of electricity as Ash and his friends quickly dove onto the ground for cover in order to avoid directly being hit.
The mysterious bird then let out a shrill squawk as it flew right over the forest trees and disappeared into the horizon.
"I've never seen a flying Pokemon like that before," Misty marveled in awe as everyone sat up from the ground.
"Ah, me neither," Brock replied. "It's one of the most incredible Pokemon I've ever seen."
"I have," Rhonda announced suddenly as everyone turned around to face her.
"Where?" Ash demanded.
"I saw that bird once before when it was attacking a small town back in my universe," Rhonda explained.
"Wow, that's terrible. Is everyone okay now?" Misty frowned sympathetically.
"Yeah, for the most part," Rhonda answered as she straightened up. "Although come to think of it, I haven't really seen my friends that live there for quite some time now."
"Ash, this place is really dangerous," Brock admonished Ash sternly. "We really ought to try to find a safe spot to crash for the night."
"Right," Ash nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, but where?" Katie frowned anxiously.
Be careful, Pikachu. All of you… Just stick together… Ash thought to himself with Pikachu's safety and wellbeing weighing still heavily on his mind.
TLSTLSTLSTLS
Meanwhile, James and Jessie were hit by a sudden blast of flames as they scrambled and raced to get away from the sudden attack.
"What is that thing?" James stammered fearfully as he and Jessie continued to run away from the monstrous fire bird-like Pokemon while still trying to avoid huge fire blasts whizzing right over them.
"I don't want to stop to find out!" Jessie wailed.
However, they soon ran right into a sign as they were stunned and dazed from having abruptly crashed into a solid object while the fire bird-like Pokemon just simply flew away from the forest.
"Good thing we hid behind this sign," Jessie groaned as she and James sank to their knees while still completely dazed.
"Yeah, maybe our luck is changing," James whimpered feebly as he and Jessie then collapsed onto the ground while lying on their bellies.
"It's a good sign," they both chorused.
TLSTLSTLSTLS
Meanwhile, all of the lost Pokemon were eating a small bar as Ekans and Koffing were sobbing heavily for their missing trainers with Pikachu trying his best to console them. Charmander just stared at them worriedly while trying to eat its food. Bulbasaur and Squirtle were having an argument at another table with Squirtle trying to hold up its hands defensively with a sheepish grin and Meowth was dozing comfortably on the table.
Slowpoke was also fanning itself as it was busy serving food to the lost and weary travelers. Meanwhile, Blaze, Waldo and Bubba were standing on a makeshift stage as they were busy performing karaoke in an effort to cheer up their depressed and heartbroken friends.
Too many broken hearts
Have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls
Have drifted out to sea…
You lay your beats and
Then you pay the price
The things we do for love…
The things we do for love…
Blaze, Waldo and Bubba then started to parade around the stage with their arms embracing each other as they continued to sing with the rest of the Pokemon cheering and clapping along with squeaks and chirps.
Like walking in the rain
And the snow
When there's nowhere to go
When you're feeling like
A part of you is dying
And you're looking for
The answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna breakup
Then she says she wants to makeup
Blaze, Waldo and Bubba then huddled even closer to each other as they continued to sing to each other with Butterfree, Golbat and Growlithe hovering over them.
Ooh… you made me love you…
Ooh… you got a way…
Ooh… you had me crawling…
Up the wall…
TLSTLSTLSTLS
The very next morning, Pikachu stirred and opened his eyes as he soon realized that he was surrounded by several sleeping Pokemon, including Ekans, Koffing and Meowth.
"It's morning," Pikachu whispered softly as he saw that the sun's rays were now illuminating the cave.
TLSTLSTLSTLS
"Let's go," Ash declared as he grabbed his backpack and put on his hat while he and the rest of the team got up to leave. "We got to find Pikachu and the others."
TLSTLSTLSTLS
James and Jessie also woke up as they lifted up their heads weakly.
"Sun's up," Jessie grumbled sleepily.
"It's morning," James whispered.
"That means…" the two murmured questioningly as they soon jumped on their feet and ran off. "We'd better run for cover!"
"Uh, pardon me, but where are we running to?" James asked Jessie curiously.
"To make a phone call," Jessie answered.
"Huh?" James gawked in confusion.
James and Jessie then raced over to the phone booth that they had discovered the day before as they barged inside and closed the door.
"But Jessie, we don't have any money," James protested as he watched Jessie pick up the phone and dial a number.
"There's one number we can always call for free," Jessie reminded him as she then held the phone close to her ear.
"Hello, operator, I'd like to put this call through collect, please."
"Who'd accept the charges?" James wondered out loud to himself.
"Hello, boss?" Jessie replied with a smile.
"The boss?!" James shrieked in horror at the mention of their mysterious boss.
"You fools had better have a very good reason for calling me this early in the morning," the mysterious boss growled irritably as Persian was curled up on his bed with a big yawn.
"Yes, but first, we must do the introduction," Jessie said.
"What?" the mysterious boss gawked in confusion at her words.
"Prepare for trouble," Jessie declared.
"Yes, and make it double," James added.
"To protect the world from devastation."
"To unite all peoples within our nation."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above."
"Jessie."
"James."
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!" Jessie smirked evilly while continuing to hold the phone with the phone cord now all tangled up.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!" James cackled deviously.
"Nitwits! How dare you annoy me with your nonsense! Don't ever bother me like this again!" the mysterious boss snarled furiously at them before abruptly hanging up on them.
"Well, I suppose we'll have to get off this island ourselves," Jessie sighed resolutely as she placed the phone back into the receiver.
"The phone didn't help," James groaned in frustration.
"But it will," Jessie smirked at him slyly as she soon got an idea.
"But where will this telephone cable lead us?" James whined as he and Jessie were busy hauling along a telephone cable through the forest in the hopes of finding some outside help.
"It must lead to the phone company," Jessie growled as she kept on pulling hard on the telephone cable with a lot of effort. "The people there can help us get off this island."
"Good point," James concurred.
"And if we stay inside this booth the whole way, we'll be safe," Jessie added enthusiastically.
TLSTLSTLSTLS
Meanwhile the lost Pokemon were now wandering through the forest as they were desperately trying to find any sign of their lost trainers.
"Ash!" Pikachu hollered.
"Misty!" Squirtle yelled.
"Brock!" Charmander shouted.
"Gone, gone…" Koffing sighed dejectedly.
"We find them!" Ekans hissed.
TLSTLSTLSTLS
"Pikachu!" Ash yelled.
"Squirtle!" Misty hollered.
"Charmander! Bulbasaur!" Brock bellowed.
"Blaze, where are you?" Rhonda shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Oh, where could they all have gone?" Ash sighed deeply.
"They must be around here somewhere," Yuki surmised while scanning the area carefully.
TLSTLSTLSTLS
Meanwhile James and Jessie were still hauling the telephone cable along the sand as they were trying to find the nearest phone company.
"Jessie, hauling this phone booth is exhausting," James whined petulantly.
"Well, you could use a good workout," Jessie snapped at him sardonically.
"Huh?" James and Jessie suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked up as they saw what appeared to be a Pikachu approaching them.
"Is that a mirage?" James inquired curiously.
"Pikachu doesn't even see us," Jessie gushed excitedly.
"So we'll have no trouble catching it," James concurred with a wicked smile.
Then as the Pikachu kept on approaching them, James and Jessie burst out of the phone booth with the cable still in their hands as they prepared to capture the electric Pokemon.
"Come to us, Pikachu," they said.
However, it wasn't long before they soon realized that the Pikachu was humongous and massive and was practically towering over them.
"It is a mirage," Jessie stammered nervously.
"A really big mirage," James gulped.
"It's biga-chu!" James and Jessie chorused in horror as they quickly dashed away to avoid the giant Pikachu's feet as it smashed right onto the phone booth.
Ash and his friends gasped in shock and awe as they suddenly ran into a giant Charizard.
"Let's get out of here!" Ash exclaimed as the Charizard let out a vicious roar before spewing out a powerful blast of flames.
The heroes then screamed in horror as they quickly dove behind a rock to avoid the flaming blasts.
"It looks like a Charizard," Misty observed.
"An evolved Charmander?" Ash murmured in awe.
"But much bigger," Brock interjected.
TLSTLSTLSTLS
"Look at that thing!" Charmander gawked in amazement as he and the rest of the Pokemon gang were staring at an enormous and giant Blastoise. "Is it a relative of yours, Squirtle?"
"This is Squirtle's evolved form, a Blastoise," Meowth explained empathetically with his arms crossed.
"Go ask for directions," Pikachu suggested to Squirtle.
"Who? Me?" Squirtle stammered nervously while pointing at himself as he then gave a reluctant sigh. "All right… I'll try!"
He then approached the giant Blastoise slowly while waving over to it.
"Yo! Brother!" he hollered at the top of his lungs while still waving frantically.
The Blastoise then turned around to face it with a menacing glare and a soft growl as Squirtle soon became nervous and glanced over at its friends anxiously before turning back to face the Blastoise.
"Let's see… Uh… sure is nice weather isn't it?"
The Blastoise then growled furiously as it then turned its blaster guns on the younger and smaller Pokemon as it prepared to attack.
"Squirtle…" Squirtle whimpered as Blastoise continued to stare at it coldly while aiming its weapons at it.
The Blastoise then fired off its blaster guns as the Pokemon quickly ran for their lives. Meanwhile, a Venusaur was stomping leisurely through the forest while appearing to mind its own business.
"That's a Venusaur, evolved from a Bulbasaur," Meowth explained as the Pokemon watched the Venusaur storm away.
"Awesome," Squirtle gawked in an impressed voice as it then turned to look at Bulbasaur.
"Talk to it! You guys are like family!"
"No way!" Bulbasaur laughed. "Just call me an orphan. I have no family."
"Good point!" Charmander exclaimed.
"Coward!" Squirtle growled exasperatedly.
TLSTLSTLSTLS
Meanwhile, James and Jessie were racing towards the train tracks as they were now being pursued by what appeared to be a giant Kabutops.
"This is a nightmare!" Jessie wailed.
"Well, I hope we wake up soon," James stammered nervously.
"There's a railcar. Let's hop in and make a run for it," Jessie suggested as they dashed towards a nearby railcar and jumped right into it. "Hurry! Let's go!"
James and Jessie then grabbed a lever and pushed it as the railcar began to move rapidly.
"Huh?"
"Don't tell me we're…" Jessie stammered as she and James soon realized that they were speeding backwards towards the path of the advancing giant Kabutops. "Going back the way we came!"
James and Jessie then let out terrified and blood-curling screams as they quickly slid underneath the Kabutops, only for the cable to somehow wrap around one of its legs as it ended up tripping it and making it fall right onto the ground. The railcar then kept on speeding and careening along furiously as it dragged the Kabutops right along with it.
"Jessie, we've got to do something!" James whimpered fearfully.
"Let's hit the brake and run for it," Jessie suggested.
"Right," James nodded as he and Jessie grabbed onto the lever and prepared to pull on it to stop the railcar.
"One, two, three… pull!" James and Jessie both chorused as they pulled down on the lever at the same time, only for them to accidentally snap off the lever.
"Huh?" James and Jessie stared at each other awkwardly as they soon realized that they were now trapped.
"Runaway train!"
TLSTLSTLSTLS
Meanwhile, Ash and his friends were running across a rocky bridge as they soon noticed a giant Pikachu walking alongside them.
"What the hell?" Rhonda gawked.
"Is this some weird dream or hallucination?" Katie stammered fearfully.
"This has got to be some sort of weird island," Shirley scoffed incredulously.
Ash then screamed in horror as he quickly stepped away in fear.
"Pikachu!" Misty exclaimed.
"Jumbo-sized!" Brock yelped.
Just then the heroes heard a loud rumbling sound as they looked over to see a runaway railcar with James and Jessie still trapped inside it and a Kabutops being dragged behind it.
"What on earth?" Jasmine gasped in amazement.
"I wonder what that is?" Ash inquired curiously.
Just then the rock bridge formation that they were standing on completely collapsed as the heroes fell through and were plummeting to the ground. James and Jessie then glanced around quizzically as they were puzzled by the sudden sounds of screaming and yelling that they were hearing, only for the heroes to land right on top of them.
The heroes then screamed and yelled at the top of their lungs as they saw that they were now dragging the Pikachu behind them along with the Kabutops.
"Now we've got you just where we want you," Jessie cackled evilly while staring down her adversaries.
"Hand over Pikachu," James demanded as he then turned around and noticed that there was a giant Pikachu right behind them.
"But not that big one!" he yelped nervously as he and Jessie embraced each other fearfully.
"Ash, look. Back there," Misty urged as Ash gasped and saw that a giant Charizard, a giant Blastoise and a giant Venusaur were now following them.
"Now we have three for the price of one!" Luthor bellowed in a panicked and mortified voice.
"Fuck me," Rhonda muttered underneath her breath.
Pikachu and his friends were also running away from the giant Pokemon as they were now racing towards Ash and his friends.
"Pikachu!" Ash yelled as he saw Pikachu and his friends dashing over to them.
"Pika, Pi!" Pikachu whimpered fearfully as he saw that Ash and his friends were moving away from them.
"Squirtle! Charmander! Bulbasaur!" Ash hollered.
"They'll all be trampled if you don't do something!" Misty yelled at Ash urgently.
"Stop the car right now!" Ash ordered fiercely.
James and Jessie exchanged apprehensive and uncertain glances at Ash's order as Jessie offered up a nervous smile.
"We can't do that," she explained as James held up the broken lever in his hand.
"We can't stop. The brake's broken."
"Give me a break," Ash groaned exasperatedly.
He then glanced over at the fleeing Pokemon anxiously as he turned his attention back to Team Rocket.
"We've just got to help them," he said.
"Ash, up ahead," Misty informed him as she and Ash turned around to see a rollercoaster looming over them.
"Holy crap!" Rhonda exclaimed in horror.
"Ah, hell no!" Luthor groaned in dismay.
"What is it?" Ash asked.
"Prepare for trouble," James stammered nervously.
"Make it double," Jessie shuddered anxiously. "And I can't stand roller coasters!"
"What do we do?" Misty whimpered fearfully.
"Hold on tight!" Brock hollered as he braced himself.
Jessie then started screaming and wailing at the top of her lungs as the railcar quickly ascended up and soon turned upside down while moving through a loop-de-loop.
"Stop the ride! Stop the ride! I want to get off!"
Rhonda then clutched her glasses tightly in her right hand while clinging on desperately to the railcar.
Then as Pikachu and his friends continued to be chased by the giant Pokemon, the heroes took a sharp descent through the roller coaster as they were speeding through the makeshift ride.
"This is some messed up, twisted, diabolical Pokeverse version of Jurassic Park, yo!" Luthor snapped as Rhonda, Katie, Shirley and Yuki were shrieking and crying at the top of their lungs while hugging each other.
"We're going to crash!" Jessie wailed in a panicked voice as she braced for impact.
"Come on, jump in!" Ash hollered at Pikachu as they have now finally caught up to Pikachu and his friends.
Pikachu and his friends then jumped into the air and leaped straight into the arms of their trainers. Pikachu was especially ecstatic and overjoyed as he was also reunited with Ash.
"Are you okay?" Ash beamed happily at his friend and partner.
"Pikachu," Pikachu squeaked in delight and joy.
"Wow, we made it," Ash breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that everybody appeared to be safe and sound. "Is everyone here?"
"Aren't we missing someone?" Jessie sniffled as tears were rolling down her face while she was hugging Ekans.
"The furriest member of our own," James also wept as he was also hugging Koffing.
"You mean Meowth?" Meowth quipped as he suddenly popped in between James and Jessie.
James and Jessie sighed in relief as they turned to face Meowth.
"You're safe," Jessie said.
"How did you make it?" James asked.
"I catapulted," Meowth answered with a raucous laugh.
Just then a huge explosion ripped through the forest as Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur appeared to collapse onto the ground and were now being dragged by the railcar along with the giant Pikachu.
"They're after us!" Misty exclaimed.
"Maybe our luck will hold out!" Ash replied in a hopeful voice.
"Well, based on our recent run of luck, I would say the cable should snap," James announced while he, Jessie and Meowth were looking back at the giant Pokemon.
"That should happen about now," Jessie quipped.
Just as she says this, the cable actually did snap as the railcar continued to speed along wildly.
"Next, we'll be hurled into the air," James said.
It was then that the railcar finally ascended up another slope as it launched straight into the air, causing everyone to scream and yell in terror.
"Then we'll probably crash into something," Meowth added.
Just as he predicted, the heroes hurtled straight into a giant Zapdos, only to crash through one of its wings as nuts, bolts and metal scraps flew through the air.
"That's weird," Ash murmured curiously.
"Looks like that was a mechanical Pokemon," Brock surmised.
"You mean to tell me that all of those Pokemon that had been supposedly chasing us this whole time are all nothing but a whole bunch of mechanical robots?!" Luthor snapped irately at Brock.
"I knew there was something really weird about those Pokemon," Katie mused suspiciously.
"Yeah, now that you mention it, none of them seemed to show any real emotion or act like a normal, typical Pokemon," Shirley concurred.
The Zapdos then took a sharp plunge towards the ground as it dove straight towards the other mechanical Pokemon before crashing on top of them and triggering a massive explosion.
"And then, finally…" Jessie continued.
"We hit the water…" James concluded.
"After a very, very long drop!" Meowth bellowed as the railcar took a terrifying and harrowing plunge towards the ocean before crashing straight into the water.
Meanwhile, a Gyarados-shaped boat passed them by as a young woman was busy giving a scenic tour.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Pokemon Land. Here, you'll see various Pokemon at over ten times their natural size. Of course, the Pokemon are all mechanical, so don't worry; it's very safe," the woman explained. "Now, if you'll look to your left."
She then let out a surprised gasp as she quickly realized that all of the mechanical Pokemon were completely destroyed and lying in ruins.
"We apologize, ladies and gentlemen, but our giant Pokemon are temporarily out of order."

Meanwhile, the phone rang as the mysterious Team Rocket boss grabbed it and picked it up to answer.
"Yes. What? Pokemon Land has been totally destroyed?" the man exclaimed in total shock and disbelief at what he had heard. He then let out a frustrated and irate growl as he quickly hung up and slammed the phone back into the receiver. "I spent millions on that place!"

Finally, after managing to escape from the strange and bizarre island of giant Pokemon, Ash and his friends made it to a tropical and sunny city.
"This looks very promising," Marni declared with an intrigued smile.
"Wow, how gorgeous!" Katie breathed in awe.
"I can't wait for some fun in the sun!" Rhonda cheered excitedly.
"I can't wait either!" Ash also exclaimed as he and his friends yelled out excitedly before they quickly raced into the city premises, eager to spend a relaxing and fun day at the local beach.
"I'll race you guys!" Rhonda laughed.
"Bet you can't beat me!" Luthor cackled mockingly.
"I'm the one who's supposed to be the fastest in the team, Luthor!" Rhonda shot back at him.
"You guys are so utterly ridiculous!" Jasmine rebuked them with a taunting laugh.

Meanwhile, the sun was now setting as Slowpoke was still relaxing on the rock at the beach.
"Slowpoke, slow…"
It wasn't long before it got up and removed its tail from the water, revealing a fish.
"Ah, Slowbro."
