Last time, our heroes escaped Techor and Livy from the underwater city, Pokélantis. Icy was severely hurt, but is recovering, and they were able to hold on to both discs. But where are Techor and Livy? Did they make it? Part VIII begins, now.
“Icy, how are you feeling?” Kelly asks.
“Uhhh, a little better. That hyper beam is not something you want to get hit by a lot.”
“Are you going to make it?”
“Yeah, I’ll be fine. Uh, Neptune, can you translate the water disc for us?”
“Horsea!” Neptune reads the disc for Icy and translates.
“Well, what’s she saying?”
“She’s found the next clue. It says, ‘It extends farther then one can imagine. But from this spot, you can be very close the its end.’”
“That’s a tricky one.”
“Hmmm, I think I got it. It’s the sky!”
“Hey, right! And the place closest to the sky must be Mt. Moon!”
“Dang Kelly! Where did you go to school?”
“Hehehe, I actually did a study at home course from PokéTech.”
“Hey, that’s cool. So, Mt. Moon is next!”
“Giovanni, where are your agents?”
“They are already ahead of Icy. I’ve planned this all out. You don’t have to worry about anything.”
“I hope not, for your sake Giovanni.”
“Do not insult me.”
“You do that fine yourself.”
Meeko was walking with her new blue Caterpie, Blu. “That was close back in Pokélantis.” Meeko comments to Blu.
( Yep, good thing I came from an island, that means I can swim. ) Blu kind of smiles.
“Gosh gosh kookie!” Meeko’s Krabby yells. ( It’s about the sound they make... )
“What’s the matter?” Nicky calls Meeko over. There was a huge pit Krabby had fallen into!
“That’s weird, Ivysore, get him out of there.” Ivysore wrapped his vines around Krabby and pulled the blue crab back out.
“You should watch the road that’s ahead Krabby.”
“Kookieeeeeeee.”
“It was a trap? Krabby, just because you didn’t look ahead doesn’t mean it was a trap...”
“Gosh gosh...”
“Those little brats ruin everything...”
“That didn’t seem like just a hole in the ground...” Lewis says.
“Who’d wanna dig a hole right there anyways, come on Lewis.” Icy says.
“Alright...”
“They’re walking straight towards our next trap...”
“Ouch!” Kelly’s foot fell through the ground.
“Huh? Wha-?” Meeko says. Nicky tries to pull Kelly out, after a while of trying Kelly lands backwards right onto Nicky.
( Hmmm, PokéNews live, Brock JR. meets dream girl- OWWWWWW! ) Nicky kicked Ivysore mid-sentence.
“I thought that was one of Ivysore’s funnier comments!” Icy says.
“Ehehehehe...”
“What did he say Meeko?”
“Nothing... hehehe... Just a little something... hehehe...” Meeko couldn’t stop laughing and sits on a log. Suddenly, she looks at the log and notices the net that’s on it.
“Huh? Wha-?” Meeko and her two Caterpies go flying up. They’d been caught in the net.
“Time to introduce ourselves...”
“Get me down!”
“All in good time...” Techor and Livy come out.
“WHAT?!?!
“That’s right, we’re alive. But you guys won’t be for long, goooooo!”
“Oh my, I can’t help them in this net.” Meeko squirms but all she ends up doing is swishing her Caterpies. “Sorry...”
“Go Magneton!” Lewis says. Meeko’s Magnemite follows.
“Go Hocus!”
“Go Blastoise!” the Pokémon were fighting with no luck. But in the bushes…
( Krabby, hurry up and pinch the rope. ) Ivysore told Krabby. He did so and the net Meeko was in dropped with them, right onto TR! Then, two sticks swung down from the trees into Gyarados hurting him a bit. He couldn’t fight for a while and got electrocuted!
“You brats!” Techor yells from underneath Meeko, she starts hitting him on the head with her over stuffed purse.
“Ouch! What did you stick in that?!?! Bricks?!?!” Meanwhile, their Pokémon were getting whipped, and Krabby was pulling on Livy’s hair. “OWWWWWWWWWWW! STOP THAT YOU TINY LOBSTER!!!!!!” They returned their Pokémon and ran.
“That, I think, was the best battle we’ve had.” Icy laughs.
“You were saying Giovanni.”
“Impossible. Techor and Livy are my strongest agents yet!”
“It’s sad really. No matter how hard you try, you always end up losing in the end.”
“I never lose. I’ve come up with a plan to get those discs. He’s already on his way now.”
“I hope this little plan works. Otherwise, you’re running out of time, and options.”
Elsewhere…
“Status.”
“Perfect sir.”
“Hmhmhm. Excellent. And our agent?”
“He’s doing fine. Can’t say the same for Giovanni though.”
“Never mind him. Just make sure the time frame stays aligned.” The figure clutches its fist. “This time, we won’t fail.” The scene fades out.
As our group continues towards Mt. Moon, they find themselves arriving in Cerulean City. “Finally, a place to rest.” Icy collapses on the sidewalk.
“Agh! Icy, speak to me!” Sara gives Icy a thundershock to wake him up.
“WAGH!!! I’m up!” After wobbling a few seconds, he gathers himself again. “I need a rest and I’m sure our pokémon could use one too. How ‘bout we visit the pokécenter for the day.” The rest of the group nods and they enter the pokécenter. “Mt. Moon’s only a half a day’s walk from here right?” Icy asks as they take their pokémon up to Nurse Joy.
“Yeah, provided we don’t run into Techor and Livy again.”
From the shadows of the room whispers a voice to himself, “Oh you will. I’ll make sure of it.”
A cloaked figure walked out of the corner. He had a red Jigglypuff at his side. He walked up to the counter and picked up the Jigglypuff and gave it to Nurse Joy. “Now you be good.”
“Jibbly...” it replied, as Nurse Joy carried it off.
Icy jumped off the counter at this moment after handing a Chansey his pokéballs. The figure turned and sat down at a table. He put his feet up no the table and closed his eyes. Icy walked by the man and jumped up on the table next to the man where all the others were sitting.
“Okay guys so when are pokémon are ready to go do you want to go to Mount Moon or wait a night?” Meeko asked.
“I don’t care,” Lewis replied eating some take out he had gotten.
“Well it’s getting kind of late I think we should wait here for a night.” Icy said.
“Ok how about we do that?” Kelly asked looking for approval.
Everyone nodded and went back to eating. After a little while Nurse Joy walked out carrying the red Jigglypuff. The man got up and walked over claiming his pokémon. He was about to leave when he looked at his watch. “Now...” He said.
Just then two masked men charged through the door, carrying guns, “ALRIGHT EVERYONE FREEZE!!!!” They yelled, “Give us your pokémon and no one gets hurt.
A man pointed a gun right at the group while the other noticed the only pokémon not in the back getting healed was a red Jigglypuff standing next to a man. “ALRIGHT BUDDY I’M TAKING THIS JIGGLYPUFF!!!!” The robber walked over and pointed his gun at the man. “Put it in its pokéball or it dies!!!”
“Return...” the man returned the pokémon to his pokéball. Then held it out, the robber bent over to get it, when the man threw it at his forehead. Opening it, then the man kicked the robber in the gut and elbowed his face knocking him to the ground. Next his Jigglypuff jumped up at the unsuspecting second robber, and Body Slammed him right in the back of his head. Icy took this opportunity to jump up and Thundershock the thief. Lewis caught the dropped gun.
“HERE!!!” The man yelled to Lewis. Lewis through the gun to him, and then the man caught it and pointed it to the robber who was reaching for his gun. The man pointed it at the first robber, “FREEZE!”
The robber didn’t move. Lewis picked up the second gun and pretended to be doing something important when the police arrived a few minutes later. They arrested the two men and took their guns.
After everyone had gotten their pokémon, the man was walking away, when “HEY you thanks a lot for all your help.” Icy said stopping the man.
The man smiled then turned around toward the group, “No problem I hate pokémon robbers, oh by the way my name’s Craven pleased to meet you.” Craven held out his hand to be shaken by the group.
“Ok, Mt. Moon. This is the place the Air Disc will be. Nicky, you have a Pidgeot right?”
“Hey, don’t forget Windstorm, my Pidgey,” Icy interjects.
“Icy, a Pidgeot is better than Pidgey. Nicky, send out your Pidgeot to search for the disc.”
“Hey, wouldn’t it be better to send it out at the top of the mountain. That’s where the highest point is.”
“Huh, I guess you’re right. Let’s go.” The group begins the scale the mountain.
“There they are.”
“They’re gonna find that disc.”
“Yes, and we’ll be there to snatch it.”
“What about the boss’s agent in their group.”
“Oh yeah. He said attack them anyway to make it look like he’s really on their side. He wants us the lose the battle, but he should slip us the discs in the confusion.”
“Giovanni always makes such good plans!”
After an hour and climbing and Icy, Meeko, Sara, and Kelly complaining, the group finally reaches, the halfway point! “Ahhhhhhh… -.-;;,,,,” Icy sweatdrops. “We’re only half-way?”
“It’s a tall mountain. We’ll take a breather…” Nicky unpacked some sandwiches he had purchased earlier that day. “Here everyone,” he said distributing the food.
“Thanks.” They all replied. Everyone ate the lunch then rested for a few minutes.
“Lewis, what was the pokémon you saw earlier today?”
“I think it was a Fearow.”
“A Fearow. No offense, but the way you said it made it seem like it was something really special.”
“Hey, if that’s the Fearow I think it is, it is a special pokémon.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“I think it belongs to a friend of mine who lives on this mountain. Oh well, guess it was nothing.”
“Hmm…”
“Hey you two! No time for chit-chat, let’s keep moving.” Nicky was suddenly getting really into this. Then again, he always followed up with a quick glance to Kelly.
“Ok, we’re coming.” The group continued up the mountain. Finally, they reached the top.
“Here we are, the top of the world. That disk must be hidden here somewhere. Pidgeot, go!”
Pidgeot flew through the air searching for the disc. Suddenly, the sky seemed to open up. A sphere of dark matter appeared and Pidgeot flew inside. “Pidgeot. I wonder if it found the disc.” A few seconds later, Pidgeot appeared with the disc in its beak. It flew it back to Nicky and Icy. “Good work.”
“Yes, very good work.”
“Yeah, you saved us the trouble.”
Craven just sneered to himself as Techor and Livy prepared to battle.
