Frosterpie's Caterpie Forest

  Last time, our heroes had been forced by Team Rocket to lead them to the Earth Generator deep inside Mt. Moon. But, when Icy and Hocus saw a way of escape, they quickly gave Techor and Livy the slip and found the generator themselves. After an ancient Alakazam explained to them more about Frosterpie and the old PokéCivilization, they were teleported to a colder island. That’s where we start off. Part 19 of 21 begins NOW!

  “It’s cold Icy,” Sara complained.
  “Yeah, I’m really chilly,” Meeko said in response.
  “What happened to the heat?” Kelly pondered.
  “Will you girls please quit whining,” Icy, Lewis, and Nicky said together. They searched for an exit.
  “Over here,” Meeko said proudly. She found a small handle for the door. As they exited the chamber, they found themselves on a familiar landscape.
  “That’s it. We must be back on the Seafoam Islands. They are the coldest places on earth.”
  “I just hope Articuno doesn’t freeze-dry us before we find that Ether Generator.”
  “Speaking of which, where exactly is it?”

  “You see, I told you they’d be here. Are you ready with the plan?”
  “Yes Livy. Those pikachus won’t know when hit ‘em.”

  “Let’s head this way. I’m sensing something over in those caves.”
  “How do you sense it Icy?”
  “I don’t know. Something inside of me is telling that the answer is in those caves over there. So let’s go!” They began hiking in the direction Icy had pointed.
  The cave began getting closer and closer. When they finally got to it, Icy quickly noticed some more ancient pokétext written on the cave walls.
  “Look, more pokégraffiti!” Kelly giggled.
  “That’s not graffiti Kelly, it’s ancient writing,” Nicky explained. Ivysore for once kept his mouth shut.
  “Well, let’s go inside.”
  “Not so fast!”
  “Those voices, it can’t be.”
  “Allow us to introduce ourselves. We haven’t had the chance to say the motto in so long this is as good a time as any.”
  “It’s Techor and Livy!”
  “To steal every pokémon in all the land.”
  “And take each pokéball out from your hand.”
  “To destroy all that is virtuous.”
  “To be villains, so malicious.”
  “Techor.” “Livy.”
  “Team Rocket will rule as decreed.”
  “Give up now or prepare to be creamed.”
  Their pokémon suddenly appeared behind them. “This time, we have a special surprise for you all.”
  “But you don’t get to see it just yet. Nidoqueen, Kabutops, Venomoth, GO!”
  “We must warm up first! Nidoking, Omastar, Muk, GO!”
  “Battle time!” Icy telekinetically transported two pokéballs to his hands. “Ready to fight, come in sight! Icy calls Buttercup and Hocus!”
  “I choose you, Alakazam and Pidgeot!”
  “Let’s help them out! Go get em Magneton!”
  “I can’t be afraid forever, Mars and Venus, please battle for me.” Kelly’s eevees nodded to each other and took up fighting poses.
  “I won’t let you beat us again. Blastoise and Raichu, I call you,” Nicky says releasing his pokémon.
  For a split second, both Livy and Techor shifted their eyes to either side. “Let’s do this. Attack!”
  The two groups of pokémon met in a giant clash. Venomoth used its stun spore to paralyze Buttercup and Pidgeot. Nidoking had Blastoise worked over. Muk slimed Kelly’s eevees. Hocus and Alakazam had their hands full battling Omastar and Kabutops. Raichu and Magneton tried to gang up on Nidoqueen but she quickly had them both pinned.
  “We are losing.”
  “This isn’t good,” Icy said to himself. His eyes glanced to the side. “Tele…” It was too late. The Rocket-Ball fired its black beam at him and captured the Pikachu.
  “ICY!!!” Sara screamed. As she tried to open the ball, she too was hit by one and captured. The balls floated back to a collection of agents surrounding them.
  “Guys… we lost this round. Pokémon return.” All the pokémon returned to their pokéballs.
  “It would appear that you all are once again at Team Rocket’s mercy. You didn’t want to take us to the Earth Generator, but now you will escort us to the Ether Generator. March!”

  What a horrible turn of events. With Icy and Sara trapped inside pokéballs, how will our group get out of this mess?

====

  Whoa, last time we thought we were rid of Techor and Livy once and for all but it seems they followed us all the way here. Now Icy and Sara have been captured inside pokéballs… Oh, what’s to become of us…
  Techor and Livy stayed behind the kids as they wandered through the caverns of the Seafoam Islands. They didn’t know where the generator was any more than Team Rocket.
  “Where is it little kids? You better tell us, or we do something terrible to Icy and Sara here.”
  “Please, leave those two alone. We are trying to find it.”
  “Better hurry, she’s got a small fuse now a day.”
  Suddenly, Kelly felt a strong signal coming from a cavern nearby. She began walking in that direction.
  “Well, at least they aren’t all fools. Follow her, she seems to know where to go.” Everyone followed Kelly. She continued to walk in the direction of the signal.
  Lewis whispered to the others. “We gotta give those two the slip somehow.”
  “But how… They have Icy and Sara… We can’t leave them. Plus, they got the discs too…”
  “Then I guess we’ve no choice but to lead them to the generator.”
  They continued to follow Kelly deeper into the carvers. “Where are you exactly taking us little girl?”
  “I don’t know Livy. I have a strong feeling that the generator is down here.”
  “Well, that’s better than your friends. Take us to the generator immediately.”
  “I think I am, but please let Icy and Sara out of those pokéballs.”
  “No Kelly, that’s our insurance to keep you from running off again. Now be a doll and find that generator.”
  “Ok ok, just please don’t hurt them.”
  “FIND THE GENERATOR!!!”
  The group continued their hike through the caverns of the Seafoam Islands. Kelly sensed the energy was getting closer.
  “It should be right behind this wall.”
  “Where’s the door?” Meeko asked.
  “Right here.” Kelly walked through the wall revealing the secret entrance.
  ‘This is our chance,’ Lewis thought. “NOW GUYS!!!” Everyone shoved Techor and Livy back while Lewis stole the black pokéballs and Nicky stole back the discs.
  “Hey!” Livy attempted to enter the room but a forcefield threw her back. “What the?!?”
  “The room is protecting us,” Nicky proclaimed.
  “Greetings seekers.” It was the Alakazam.
  “Alakazam!”
  “This is a recording made many centuries ago. Please insert the discs of the Ether as proof you are the seekers.” They did. “Good. Many centuries ago, Frosterpie had disappeared without a trace. I was sure people would search these caves for him, the frozen islands being a prime location for something frozen. But this is not his resting place. The place you seek is where the beams of light from the Earth and the Ether meet. I’m going to teleport you to a place known as in my time, the Gi Desert. Good luck seekers and remember this well. Only one true in heart can hold Frosterpie. Should one of an evil heart attempt to hold him, the coldness of his heart will consume him in reality.” With that, two beams of light hit the black pokéballs. They vaporized revealing Icy and Sara.
  “What a ride…”
  “Glad that’s over…”
  “Icy!”
  “Sara!”
  “Yup, where are we?”
  “We fo… hey?”
  As the group looks out, all they see is the vast desert. “It’s the Gi Desert!” Nicky said. Unbeknownst to them, but a small tracking device had been planted on Kelly. Team Rocket would no doubtingly be close to follow.

Elsewhere,
  “Sir, the weapon is ready at your command.”
  “Excellent. We shall target Frosterpie, the pillar of this world. With the pillar destroyed, the earth will be mine!”
  “Yes master. Targeting systems are online and awaiting orders.”
  “Once those kids find the location of the frozen Caterpie, fire the weapon.”
  Somewhere else on the ship, a shadowy figure listened. “They are going to destroy the entire world. Even I hate humans, but this is going top far. I must stop them from completing their mission.”

  On a remote, hidden island, two figures walked about. “The time draws near.”
  “Yes your grace.”
  “You know what must be done?”
  “Your grace,” the figure came into the light, “I shall not fail you.”
  “See that you don’t.”

  As our heroes set off in search of Frosterpie’s resting place, what horrible danger is earth in? Who is this new friend or foe? Why is it that everyone is always in shadows? Surf in next time for Part 20 of this exciting adventure. You definitely cannot miss it.
