Episode 14:
Random Rejoins Clan Caterpie Again

Author(s): RandomTask, InsaneLlama, IcyPikachu, and BlackHole

Random had just gained a Growlithe in the Pokémon Mansion. He is still in search of his father, who evidently has a connection with Team Rocket. Speaking of TR, Random finally discover a Rocket, and thoroughly spanked him. Random is now on the phone with Llama from Clan Caterpie…

“Hey! Random! How ya doin’?” Llama was excited to speak to his close friend, but was still upset over the loss of Xavier, a new friend and promising trainer.

“I’m fine, thanks. I got a Growlithe. How is Icy? Have you spoken to Lonewolf at all?”

Llama responded, “I haven’t talked to 'wolf in a while. Icy is…. uhh… indisposed at the moment.”

“KAAAAACHHUUU!!!” Icy yelped in the background. Llama was hit by the powerful jolt of a Thunderwave.

“Dang Nammit Icy!!! He won’t understand you anyway.” Llama wiped his brow.

“What’s wrong with Icy?”

Llama took a big breath. “We visited Bill, the Pokemaniac, and Icy participated in an experiment that turned him into a Pikachu. The machine was blown up by Team Rocket, who kidnapped Bill. But Icy stole him back. The problem is I am the only one around who can understand Pikachese (Pikachu language.. get it??).”

“Oh.” Random said

“Yeah…” Llama caught his breath.

“I am coming down there. You are outside of Cerulean, right?” Random asked.

“Yea…” Llama picked up Icy and fed him a snack.

“I will be there in one day.” Random said, turning off his cell.

Icy dragged himself across the Lighthouse. He was beginning to see the aggravation that comes with being unable to communicate effectively with others. His only consolation was in a car battery that Bill had been using. Icy jumped on top of the battery and gave it a big lick… “KAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCHHHHHHUUUUUUUU!!!!!”

Random had no way to get from Cinnabar to Cerulean easily. There were no airports in Cinnabar. He must find a flying pokémon and hitch a ride. Bubba, at his side, spotted a bird-like creature perched above the Pokécenter. The great, blue bird let out a great howl (birds howl? yes.. yes they do.). Random walked up to the bird, unafraid. “Hey! I am in dire need of a ride to Cerulean City. Could you lend me a ride on your great wings???” The bird was silent, then gracefully flew down to the ground. Random and Bubba climbed onto his great wings. It was a cold perch, icicles dangled from its great wings, snow followed its path.

The bird took off just as a man ran to the Pokécenter yelling, “My Pidgey!!! It’s dead!!!” The great bird, Articuno, had left its solemn mark.

Within the hour, Random was at the lighthouse. The great bird gave a caw, and left immediately for Celadon City. Random had never seen a pokémon of its stature before, and would never again… He walked inside…

Random saw a Pikachu sitting on a battery sobbing. “Is that…”

“Yes, it’s Icy.” Insane interrupted.

“Pika! Pikachu CHUUUUUUU!!!!!” (Random!!! Hi!!!)

“Uhhh, what did he say?” Icy started to sob lightly again.

“He says hello.”

While they were all talking, BlackHole walked into the room with a Charmander following him. “Howdy there, I’m Insanellama, the Pikachu is Icy, it’s a long story, The guy with the guitar is Random. The man in black is X. Right nice to meet ya” said Insanellama.

“Hello!” BH said as he looked behind him to see a Charmander. “Is that Charmander anyone’s?”

“No, I don’t think so,” said Llama.

“Pika, chu Chu Pika! (I haven’t seen it either)”

“He said-”

“Yeah I know what he said.” BH said as he turned to the Charmander, just to get a Flamethrower in the face. “Ay! Now you’re asking for it! Go Dratini!” BH said as Dratini looked at him, and than used Dragon Rage.

“CHAR!!!” Charmander uses Ember and Dratini looks at Charmander and uses yet another Dragon Rage and than gets hit with the pokéball and is sucked inside by the red beam. The ball rattles around for a bit and the red center in the middle goes white. “Hey! I just caught a Charmander! Now, what were you saying? You call yourselves Clan Caterpie? I hope you know Caterpie really suck.”

“KAAAAAACCCCCCHHHHUUUUUU!!” BH gets zapped.

“Erk… I take it that Pikachu over there likes Caterpie…”

“Chu, Pikachu Pikaa! Chu Ka Pikaaaaa! (My name’s Icy, and I’m not really a Pikachu, its a long story, and that’s right!)”

“Ok ok! I get the picture! Well… would you all mind if I hung around? I don’t like traveling alone much. It depresses me.”

“Well, sure yer welcome to stick around for a while. We’re hole up here for a while anyway.” said Insanellama. “Oh, and btw, the Pikachu over there isn’t REALLY a Pikachu. Well, it is, but it isn’t… Never mind, I’ll just tell the whole story.” Insanellama related Icy’s tale to BlackHole.

After thinking long and hard, X had had enough. He took off his cap, faced it towards himself, he got a good grip on the edge of the TR badge, and jerked hard. “Hey guys, there’s something I need to tell you. I’m a member of Team Rocket.” He ducks a lightning bolt from Icy. “Well, after I have seen what has happened, I’ve decided to quit. Can you have your Rapidash burn this for me Insanellama?” asked X, and tossed the TR Patch to Insanellama.

“Sure Rapidash, EMBER ATTACK NOW!” The patch burst into flames and was soon only a pile of ashes on the floor.

“Sorry guys.” said X.

“Look, all that matters is that you quit now. No hard feelings here pal,” said Insanellama.
