Episode 86:
Author(s): Frosterfree, Lewis, and Meeko
Last time, our group of heroes were trapped by Techor and Livy inside the Rock Tunnel. Team Rocket’s agents stole the disc and some of their pokémon before causing a large cave-in. Now our group is really stuck between a rock, and several other rocks! How will they ever get out?
Icy opened his eyes to see the rocks come crashing down on him and the others. Suddenly, they all seemed to stop. Hocus had created a barrier to protect them. “Hocus.”
“Find a way out and quick. I don’t think I can hold this much longer master.”
“Thank you Hocus. Buttercup, Flutter, psybeam attack.” Flutter shrugged but Buttercup psybeamed a path through the rocks. “Everybody out now!” They cleared out and Icy grabbed Hocus. “Let’s go.” Hocus’ barrier dissolved just as he was clear of the rocks. Everyone got out safely.
“Are you ok Kelly?”
Kelly’s leg was really hurt along with her arm. They were bleeding slightly. “Ughh… no…,” she said in a whiny voice. “It hurts to move.”
“Oh no. I’ll carry you.”
Ivysore for once kept quiet. He knew this time things were serious. Kelly took one last look at Nicky before fainting.
“Oh. We gotta get her to a hospital or something.”
“I think there’s a pokécenter just outside the cave. Let’s hurry.”
Nicky held Kelly and they all ran quickly out of the cave.
“Nurse Joy help us!!!” Joy quickly ran to the front door.
“Oh my, what happened to this poor little girl?”
“It was Team Rocket, Nurse Joy. They attacked us in the cave. We were lucky to survive. Hey, wait a sec, they still have some of our pokémon!”
“Yeah. And the disc.”
“We’ve got to find them.”
“If we go after that Rock Disc again, I want to be prepared. I’ll get my Graveler from the computer,” Lewis said.
“Ah, good thinking. So you do have a rock type after all.”
“Yes.”
“Nurse Joy. Is Kelly going to make it?”
“Oh? Oh of course. This is only a minor injury…”
“MINOR!!! SHE’S ALL CUT UP!!!”
“Despite the bruises, she’s really not that badly hurt. I can’t fully treat her like a regular doctor, but I’ll do my best. She should be better by morning.” Some Chanceys came in and wheeled Kelly into the emergency room. Nicky sat down on the bench with tears rolling down his cheeks.
Ivysore cautiously approached him. “Nicky?”
“What?”
“I…I’m sorry about the jokes I made…”
“It’s ok… I just hope Kelly is all right.”
“Me too. Friends?”
“Friends.” Nicky shook Ivysore’s leaves.
The next day, Nicky woke up to see Nurse Joy typing reports onto the front computer.
“How is she?”
“Oh, Kelly, she’s recovering in the patients ward. I’ll take you to her.” She led Nicky to Kelly’s room. “Here she is. She should be ready to leave by this afternoon.”
“Thank you Nurse Joy.”
“Nicky?”
“Yes Kelly. I’m here.” Kelly’s Eevees entered the room.
“Vee!” They jumped onto their master.
“Hehe… hi guys.”
“How do you feel Kelly?”
“A little better. My arm still hurts a bit.”
“You have me quite a scare there.”
“Sorry.”
“No, it’s not your fault. I should have protected you from them.”
“Nicky, you did your best. Those two agents weren’t sent to steal our pokémon. I think they were sent to kill us. I’m sure of it.”
“That’s not good. Why would Giovanni try to do something that bad. He could really get into serious trouble if someone found out.”
“He doesn’t care about that I bet. What about the others? Are they ok?”
“Yes. We are going to get back our pokémon and the Rock Disc today. But I want you to stay here.”
“But…”
“No. You’re hurt too badly. I don’t want you to get hurt again. Please promise me you’ll wait here. I promise you I’ll come back safe.”
“Ok, but only since you promise to come back.”
“Goodbye Kelly. Get well soon.”
“Thank you Nicky.”
Meanwhile, Icy and Sara were eating breakfast together while Lewis and Meeko devised a plan for getting their pokémon back.
“Ok. They must be somewhere in these parts. My Pidgeot found their trail around those woods and can fly us there.”
“Great. We’ll try to surround them. Icy, you try to sneak in and grab the stuff.”
“Gotcha.”
“Nicky. How’s Kelly?”
“She’s doing better. Nurse Joy says she’ll be fully recovered by this afternoon. But we should go ahead without her. I can’t let them hurt her again.”
“That’s understandable.” They informed Nicky of their plans.
“Ok. Are we ready?”
“We were just waiting for you.”
“Then let’s get back our pokémon!”
“Yeah!”
“Ok, according my calculations, and by Pidgeot, Techor and Livy’s hideout is in a mountainous region. They’re probably holding our Pokémon high up so they’ll be out of breath.” Lewis explains.
“How can we get there?” Nicky asks.
“Well, my Pidgeot can probably take us there, but this is probably a trap.” Lewis says.
“Agreed. We need to keep our wits about.” Icy says.
Within an hour, our heroes were riding on Pidgeot and flying towards the mountain. Suddenly, an explosion came just next Pidgeot’s wing!
Pidgeot made a hard left, only to be hit by another explosion!
“What’s going on?” Sara asks.
“Mines! They must’ve tapped this whole area! We have to go down or Pidgeot won’t make it!” Meeko says.
“Agreed!” Lewis shouts. Pidgeot goes down and Lewis notices something about the ground-there were mines barely hidden on the ground.
“We can’t stop now. We’ll just try to avoid what mines we can.” Icy says.
Our heroes cautiously moved about the ground, until Lewis stopped everyone.
“Guys...” Lewis says.
“What?” Nicky asks.
“I think I just stepped on a land mine.” Lewis replies, his face pale and with no expression.
Icy went over and saw. Lewis was standing on something round and metallic.
<I might be able to disarm it.> Ivysore says.
“You? You probably just want to set it off!” Lewis says.
<Smeg off for just this once, you ugly bag of mostly water.> Ivysore says.
Ivysore took out its vines and carefully started fidgeting with the mine.
<There. Take off your foot, slowly.> Ivysore says.
Lewis slowly stepped up and smiled.
“I owe you a compliment.” Lewis says.
<Later, and don’t hold your breath about me changing my personality.> Ivysore replies.
Within another hour, our heroes had arrived at a hillside by the house. It was smallish, with about 20 feet of grass around it, and it had an “electrical fence”, so to speak.
“What are those things?” Icy asks.
“They look like giant plugs.” Meeko says.
Lewis pulled out his pokédex which said, “Elekid: An evolutionary stage before Electabuzz. It’s electric power lies in the two spark plugs on its head.”
“That told us a lot. We can’t fly over them, and we can’t try to go through them. What do we do?” Lewis asks.
“We’ll battle them with what Pokémon we have! What about that Donphan of yours, Lewis?” Nicky asks.
“Of course! It’s a ground type! It should be immune to their electric attacks! Donphan, I choose you!” Lewis shouts.
The elephant Pokémon came out of its pokéball and landed right in front of the Elekids.
“Elekiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid!” the Elekids shout, using thundershock.
Donphan barely feels it and horn attacks the nearest group of Elekid.
The rest of our heroes run inside, where Techor and Livy are waiting.
“Muk, Nidoqueen, go!” T&L shout.
“Hocus, Ivysore, Graveler, go!” Icy, Meeko, and Lewis shout.
The three come out and face the two. Hocus immediately starts psybeaming Muk with little effect, while Ivysore vine whips Nidoqueen and Graveler rock tackles her.
“Nidoqueen, horn attack!”
Nidoqueen rams into Ivysore, sending it flying, while Muk smothers Hocus, fainting it.
Everyone suddenly notices one little fact-Icy was not recalling Hocus.
Everyone turned to Icy’s position where he just was and looked in horror: Icy was gone.
“Where’d I…,” Meeko began to say.
Nicky covered his mouth. “Shhh…,” he said pointing to behind Livy.
“So… You little kids really thought you could defeat Team Rocket? What a silly dream. You actually thought you could beat us, get back your pokémon, and recover the disc? You guys are so pathetic! Ahahahaha!!!” Livy laughed hard. The group could hardly take it.
“Gyarados, keep them company for a bit won’t you.” The dragon pokémon coiled around the group.
[Lewis.]
[Icy?]
[Get ready.]
[Ready for what?]
[Just get ready to get out of here. I got it.]
[Ok Icy. Hurry please.]
Icy slowly pulled the Rock Disc away. He didn’t count on the next thing to happen. A piece of sludge landed on his nose. “Pika?” Another slimy piece. He looked up to see a large pile of slime hovering over him. “Oh crap. Lewis!!!” Icy hurtled the disc into the air. Muk crashed down on him. “Pikaa!!!!!!!” His final words were drowned out in the sludge.
“Graveler, catch it!” His rock pokémon caught the disc. “Use it quick!!!” Graveler tapped the disc’s power and began glowing.
“Huh?” Graveler summoned a huge rockslide causing Muk to release Icy and Gyarados to uncoil his friends. “What the?!?” Techor gets covered by the rocks heading his way. Livy sidesteps to avoid the attack.
“You kids are so dead. You don’t even know what’s at stake here.” She grabs Icy who had not been paying attention to her. “Give me that disc Lewis. You know what I can do to him.” She produced a small dagger from within her uniform and placed it near Icy. “Hand over that disc, slowly kid.”
[Lewis, don’t. I should have enough energy.]
[Icy, she’s gonna kill you. I have to.]
[Ok, hold onto it for as long as possible. I’m gonna be out of energy if I do this.]
[Understood Icy. Good luck.]
Icy focused all his mental energy into his psi energy. “Teleport!” His body glimmered then vanished just before Lewis was about to give Livy the disc. Instead, he hit her over the head with it and Icy appeared on his. “Ughh…”
“Icy… Ok, grab the pokéballs and let’s get outta here.”
“Crap, they’re getting away. Oh, Livy. Grrrr, you punks live this time. We’ll be back, I promise you that. Next time, you won’t survive!”
They shot out of the camp on Lewis’ Pidgeot and flew back to the safety of the pokécenter.
“Shew, that was too close. Those guys are serious I think.”
“Yes, we better be very careful from now on. I think Giovanni has given them permission to do whatever’s necessary to get these discs…”
“They won’t ever get their hands on them. Those crooks’ll just have to find something else to steal.”
“Yeah.” Little does our team know that they are being watched by a mysterious group of people from the corner of the center. Oh, I wonder what’s going to happen to them next?
