Episode 74:
Author(s): Frosterfree, Lewis, and Meeko
Last time, our heroes got to Pallet Town and met Loki, Oak’s ditto. They learned that Team Rocket had taken Professor Oak captive. They now search for Team Rocket’s secret headquarters somewhere outside Pallet Town.
“I didn’t know Team Rocket has a base near Pallet Town.” They were walking east, hoping to find something.
“Neither did I,” Lewis said.
“Are we really going to invade their base,” Kelly said nervously.
“Don’t worry Kelly, we’ll protect you. You don’t have to battle them.”
They continued walking along a dirt path. So far, nothing they saw gave them any leads to the location of Team Rocket’s HQ. “We’ve been traveling this path for hours it seems,” Nicky complained.
“It’s only been 5 minutes Nicky. C’mon, I’m sure it’s around here somewhere.”
-=(Scene Switch)=-
“Here they come.”
“Right, get ready.”
“We can’t let those twerps be snooping around out here.”
“We’ll teach them the price of trespassing on Team Rocket property.”
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, let’s.”
-=(Back to the group)=-
“Hey, that looks like a clearing up there!”
“Hmm, wait!”
“HA! Too late!”
“Who are you guys?”
“Allow us to introduce ourselves,” they recite in unison.
“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 who are so malicious.”
“Techor.”
“Livy.”
“Team Rocket will rule the universe.”
“Give up now, or travel home in a hearse.”
“Huh? Do all Team Rocket agents have silly mottos like that?”
“Silence boy. That took months to come up with.”
“We cannot allow you to go any further.”
“You don’t scare us. You want a battle, we’re ready.”
“You may think you are all that young one, but we will surely teach you otherwise. Ready or not, go Muk!”
“Go Venomoth!”
Team Rocket’s pokémon prepare to attack.
“Aghh!!” Kelly shrieks. Her Eevees take fighting stances in front of her.
“Leave this to us Kelly. Buttercup, Hocus, Cyber! Help us out now!”
“C’mon guys, we need everyone!” Lewis proceeds to call out his strongest pokémon. “Not you Jigglypuff.” Lewis says, holding Jigglypuff and then throwing his pokéball. “Alakazam, go!” Lewis shouts. Alakazam comes out, ready to fight. Suddenly, Venomoth comes down and stun spores Alakazam! “Return Alakazam!” Lewis shouts.
Cyber began firing psybeams at the Muk, but they were having little effect. It must’ve been at a high level. Buttercup swooped down and tackled Venomoth, only to have Venomoth release a psybeam at Buttercup! Buttercup was knocked down, and Lewis threw Pidgeot’s pokéball. Pidgeot swooped out. “Pidgeot! Whirlwind!” Lewis shouts. Pidgeot flapped its wings. Venomoth was sent into a tree, but Muk jumped up and tackled Pidgeot. “Return Pidgeot! Ok Charmander, your turn!” Lewis shouts. Charmander jumped up and fired fire blast at Muk! Muk was badly burned, and running around hysterically!
Techor and Livy were pulling off an impressive battle performance.
“They’re just too strong!”
“We can’t give up.”
“We have to. A wise man once said, ‘he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.’ So let’s split. Everyone, return now.”
“All, return.” The group recalled all their pokémon and made a mad dash through the clearing.
“Get back here,” Techor shouted.
“Let them run Techor.”
“Hmm?”
“They can’t beat us. They can’t do it now, they certainty won’t later. Let’s get back to base. The boss will need our protection.”
“Right Livy.” The two elite agents headed back to the secret headquarters.
“Hehehe…, the old hideaway. I thought I got rid of the place years ago. Oh well… ehehehe…”
The group headed back to where the battle was fought. “I knew it! These footprints will lead us straight to their base!”
“You aren’t really going to storm TR HQ are you?”
“Not alone.”
“That would imply us tagging along, right Icy?”
“Oh course. C’mon, we gotta save Prof. Oak. Now let’s go.”
“Fine, but we better come up with a better strategy for next time. Huh, Icy, you all right,” Meeko asked.
Icy was sweating again. Visions passed before him. “No, it can’t be. Not now, please not again.”
“Icy? Who are you talking to?”
“Huh? No one… No one…” Icy wiped the sweat off his face. Sara had a similar vision. They both exchanged very worried looks. “It’s going to happen… It didn’t work.”
“I know. We’ll be fine,” she whispered back.
“Should we tell them,” Icy spoke softly.
“No, don’t worry them. We don’t know for sure. It could be a side effect.”
“Ok.”
“Ok, we need to follow the tracks and attack, we’ll have Ivysore and Raichu distract the guards while we dash through the door and attack with all our might, since I don’t know what it’s like inside, we’ll just have to find out.” Nicky explained.
“Now, anyone who doesn’t want to go, say so now....” Sara warned.
“I won’t chicken out this time Sara, I left my friends in two battles because I was afraid, I’m not doing that again!” Meeko declared.
“I was going to stay..... but, Meeko’s right.” Kelly said.
“Then it looks like everybody’s going!” Lewis says.
( Hey you! ) Nicky’s Raichu zaps the guards.
“Hey! You two Pokémon will pay!” the men ran off after Ivysore and Raichu.
“Ok, let’s go!” everyone gets through the door.
“Ok, let’s see, if I remember right. We go down, uh-oh!” Icy said.
“We have you surrounded!” TR members came through the doorway, and out of rooms, everywhere, “We’ve been waiting for you.”
“Prepare to lose, for it’s Ivysore I choose! Oh, wait, he’s gone....”
“Go Bulbasaur!” But, as Lewis said that, his Weedle and Meeko’s Caterpie leapt to fight!
“Weedle! No!”
“No, Caterpie!” the brave bugs leapt at two of the men’s faces giving Lewis and Icy the chance they needed to get past them.
“Agh! Look at the size of those Pokémon!” Meeko yelled, but didn’t back away this time. There was a whole assortment of huge Pokémon that TR released.
“Look! Weedle’s getting pumped up enough to use Psybeam!” Weedle fired the massive beam at several TR members, but fainted after a while from the effort.
“Oh! No! Team Rocket has us cornered!” Meeko yells, Team Rocket moved in on Meeko, Sara, Kelly, and Nicky.
Back with Lewis and Icy,
“Take this!” Lewis sent out his Lickitung, while Icy sent out Buttercup.
“Buttercup, psybeam now!”
“Lickitung, lick now!”
Icy and Lewis’ pokémon fought relentlessly to beat the TR pokémon. Luckily, their pokémon weren’t strong against Icy and Lewis’ and they retreated.
Back with the rest of the group,
“Fall back!” one of the agents called out. They all retreated further into the base.
“Hmm, that was a little too easy,” Icy announced when the team had regrouped. They ventured deeper into the base searching for the professor.
-=(Scene Switch)=-
“Sir, our agents are losing to them.”
“Pathetic losers. Why can’t I ever find good trainers?”
“What do you want us to do about it?”
“Stop them. Do not allow them to get any further.”
“Right sir.”
-=(Back to the group)=-
“C’mon, they went this way.” The group found themselves in a large, empty room. “Hmm, now what?”
“We can’t allow you to go any further.”
“Your little adventure ends here.”
“It’s them again, the agents from the forest.” Meeko and Kelly backed up a bit.
“Hey, we’ll need you two to help us battle them,” Lewis said.
“No way, those other agents weren’t that bad, but these two are for real.” Kelly simply knelt on the floor holding her Eevees back. “No, you’ll only get beat up.”
“Fine, we’ll battle them ourselves. Blastoise go!” Nicky shouted.
“Help us out, Ivysore!”
“Ready to fight, come in sight! Icy calls, Buttercup and Hocus!”
The group’s pokémon took up positions.
“Well, four on two isn’t very fair.”
“Since when did Team Rocket play fair?”
“Since never! Go Muk!”
“Venomoth go!”
“Buttercup, sleep powder!” Buttercup sprayed her sleep powder at Venomoth but it retaliated with whirlwind. Buttercup was put to sleep by her own powder.
“Hahaha, you little twerps are no match for us. Muk, tackle attack!” Muk charged towards Ivysore and Hocus.
“Ivysore, vine whip!”
“Hocus, disable quick!” Hocus concentrated quickly and attempted his disable attack on Muk. It slowed the slimy pokémon down a little, but not completely. Ivysore’s vine whip had no effect on it.
“Ivysore, get out of the way!” Ivysore jumped out of Muk’s path, as did Hocus.
“Psybeam Hocus!” Hocus fired a psybeam at Muk, defeating it.
“Aghh, Muk return. It’s your turn now.”
“Ivysore return! Go Charmander!”
“Shoot, fire could hurt Venomoth. Venomoth, stun spore now.” Charmander was too slow and became paralyzed by the stun spores. “Psybeam it now!” Charmander was knocked into Lewis by Venomoth’s psybeam.
“Blastoise, use your water gun to take out Venomoth.” Blastoise fired its hydro cannons at Venomoth, but the flying pokémon was too strong and stayed in the air.
“You may think you’re good, but we are better. Venomoth, psybeam now!” Venomoth released a large psybeam and knocked out Blastoise.
“What the!?! That’s impossible! Blastoise return.”
“We’ve got to find Oak and get out of here. Someone needs to create a diversion. I’ll teleport to that door there and find Oak myself.”
“Ok Icy. Ivysore go. Use your razor leaf attack to create a circle around us.” Ivysore surrounded the group with leaves while Icy teleported to the opening.
While the group continued battling Livy and Techor, Icy quickly went to locate Oak. “Hocus, use your psy-power to render us invisible to their security scanners.” Hocus masked their energy so that the scanners wouldn’t detect them. Icy used his telepathy to located Oak. “Hmm, I sense Oak’s brain waves coming from that corridor. Let’s go!”
“Venomoth, psybeam attack!” Venomoth finished off the rest of the team’s pokémon.
“Oh no. This is bad.”
“Hahaha, huh? Wait a minute, someone’s missing.” Livy pushed a red button on the wall. “Intruder alert! All agents, search the base!”
“We’ll deal with you all later.” Techor pushed another button and a cage dropped on the group. “Why don’t you all stick around for a while.” With that, they went to search for Icy.
“Oh no, I hope Icy finds Oak soon.”
“Professor!”
“Icy!”
“Professor, stand back. I’ll get you out.”
“Uhhh…” Oak stepped back a bit.
“Cyber, go!” Icy held Cyber up to the bars and used his beak like a saw. “Ok professor. Let’s get out of here quick!” Suddenly, Icy received a telepathic message from Lewis. “Oh no, the others are in trouble. We must hurry.”
“I’m coming.” Icy and Oak ran back toward the open room their friends were still trapped in.
“Not so fast little one.”
“Just where do you think you’re taking him.” Icy noticed a strange looking blaster in Techor’s hand. He had seen that blaster before somewhere.
“We’re checking out. Cya!” Icy knew he didn’t have time to mess around and teleported himself and Oak as far as his energy levels would permit. They ended up only a few feet in back of the agents, but it was far enough.
“Get back here!” Techor aimed to blaster at Icy and fired. Luckily the shot missed. “Grrrr!!! C’mon, after them!” Techor, Livy, and some other TR agents gave chase.
“We’re almost there.” Icy and Oak entered the room where their friends were trapped. “Hocus, melt the bars with your psy-energy.” Hocus focused his psybeam on the bars and they slowly melted. “Faster Hocus, we don’t have much time.”
“Right you are, pest!” Techor fired the blaster again. Icy was ready this time.
“Psy-shield now!” Icy used his last bits of psy-energy to create a force field to block the blaster. “Ughh…” He was weak from the high-energy drains but still had enough energy to keep going. Hocus had melted through the bars and everyone made a quick dash for the entrance.
“No, don’t let them get away! Seal the exits!” It was too late. Icy’s group and Oak had already made it outside with the help of Lewis’ Alakazam. It teleported them all out safely. “GRRRR!!!!! The boss is going to have a fit when he hears about this.
“No Techor, I’ve already had that fit.”
“Boss?”
“You two may have failed to hold them this time, but I see potential in you both. I still have Oak’s manuscript. You two are to find the Frosterpie before they do. Understood?”
“Yes sir,” Techor and Livy replied in unison.
“Excellent. Oh, and Techor.”
“Yes sir?”
“Make sure you get him with that.” Giovanni motioned towards the blaster.
“You want me to kill him?”
“Don’t worry, it won’t kill him, but it will put an end to his group’s messing around with our plans. Just do as I say.”
“Right sir. I’ll get him.”
-=(Scene Switch - Oak’s Lab)=-
The group made it back to the lab without any more distractions. “Those two Rockets are impossible to beat.”
“Techor and Livy are Giovanni’s special agents. They are part of his elite group,” Oak interrupted.
“What was that blaster they were firing at you Icy?” Kelly asked.
“I don’t know, but I’m glad it didn’t hit me.” Icy was still unsure if it was the same one. Sara sensed his tension and went over to him.
“It’s the same one, isn’t it? The effects are going to wear off, aren’t they?” she whispered.
“I think so…” Icy squeezed her hand. They both understood their fates.
“Umm, Icy, Sara? Heeeeelllllooooooooo,” Meeko said waving her hand in front of their faces.
“Oh, sorry. What?”
“Icy, I trust Loki gave you the second copy of the manuscript already?”
“Yes professor. How do we read it though?”
“Hmm, yes, that’s the tricky part. So far, I’m the only pokémon scholar who can read the text. But I’m afraid I can’t afford to journey with you to find Frosterpie.”
“Then how will we find it?” Nicky asked.
“Loki will travel with you. I will give him a communicator so that I can talk to you and give him instructions. Loki, I want you to go with Icy and his friends and help them search for Frosterpie. Ok?”
“Ditto!” Loki squeaked. He jumped into Kelly’s unsuspecting arms knocked the small girl over. She fortunately came down to a soft surface.
“Oww…” she said rubbing her back.
“Ohhh…” whined Mars and Venus. They got back up and stood by Kelly’s feet.
“Sorry guys… Ehehehe…”
And so our adventure continues. But what dangers lay in store for our group? And what is wrong with Icy and Sara? And will our team ever be strong enough to defeat the evil Rockets, Techor and Livy? Find out next time on, The PokéWars!
