Slice, Dice and Poke’Mice! Today we find our heroes in the Constellation Forest and they are currently in the rodent section of the forest. “NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” screamed Mouna as she ran up a tree while her braids stood on end. “What is it? Is there a Weedle around?” Asked Mouna’s older brother Mousa as he grabbed some poke’balls from his belt enthusiastically, ready to catch his first poke’mon. “R-r-r-r-r-r-r,” Stuttered Mouna in fear as she looked down from the tree branch she was hanging on. “Rabies?” suggested Mousa. “Ryhorns?” Asked Mousa best friend Hank. “RODENTS!!!!!!” Shouted Mouna so loud, her sound-waves blew Mousa’s first Poke’mon, Flareaton and Hank’s Poke’mon, Leafinglide away. On the ground, they found two mice-like poke’mon. One was grey and the other was black. They both had computer chip like ears and a square at the end of their tails that looked like computer chips. The other difference from them besides the color of their fur is that the one in black fur had a small horn on its and the one in grey fur had legs and feet that were made from computer chips. Mousa’s Poke’Alex analyzed them but, it spoke like a gangster, [So wanna know da facts eh? Well you can only get dem from me, see? These Poke’mon are Bichip and Gichip. Every year dey chooses a Bichip and a Gichip to guard their forest. Da Bichip wounds de enemy wit its horn and da Gichip scratches the enemy as a warning.] Mouna looked at her brother’s Poke’Alex funny and wondered if Professor Hazel put a personality chip in it. Mousa didn’t care though; He grabbed his blue and red poke’balls (He painted them recently in Tauros City) and stared at the Bichip. “Enjoy the sights of the forest you see now, ‘cause your mine Bichip!” Mousa Shouted. He took off his hat, revealing his short, black hair and threw the red and blue sphere at Bichip. The poke’ball hit Bichip on the head and disappeared in red light and into the poke’ball. The sphere shook wildly, then it was crazy, hitting every tree branch till Mousa caught the ball and held it still so nothing would escape. Unfortunately, the poke’ball also hit Mouna’s branch and both her and the branch fell to the ground, Mouna, hit her head. “YES,” yelled Mousa in pride as he held his poke’ball and struck a pose in triumph. “I caught Bichip!” “My turn,” smiled Hank. “Go, Leafinglide! Use your Razor leaf!” Leafinglide sent a barrage of sharp leaves at the Gichip, weakening it. Hank threw his Green and Yellow poke’ball at Gichip and watched as the Poke’mon entered the sphere and shook till the red light went blue. “Alright,” Hank yelled with joy. “Gichip is mine!” “Yeah, great…” Mouna said weakly as she got up, rubbing her head. “Just make sure they don’t get near me.” * * * As our heroes wander through the Constellation Forest, They stumble upon a huge, grey tunnel that seemed to go on forever. Lucky for them, they had Flareaton as their torch and guide the way. “This tunnel seems to go one forever.” Hank said with fear as they went on through the gloomy, damp and frightening tunnel. The deeper they went, the quicker they walk until their walk broke into run. They ran and ran until they saw a light at the end of the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was a sight so wonderful, Mouna ran back into the cave in terror. A whole community of rodent poke’mon! Pikachus, Riachus, Sandshrews, Sandslashes, Ratattas, Ratacates, Gichips, Bichips, you name it! They were all there. As soon as they saw Mousa and Hank, they prepared for battle. Pikachus and Riachus were charging up electricity, Ratattas and Ratacates were ready for some serious biting and the Gichips and Bichips were ready for a little teamwork. Mousa whispered in Hank’s ear, “Follow my lead and we shall not inflict pain of any sort from these mice. Go Bichip!” “Go Gichip!” shouted Hank who was ready to do anything but get attacked. “Bichip, Gichip, persuade the Mice that we won’t catch or hurt them.” Bichip and Gichip told the mice poke’mon to not be afraid. The Rodents finally thought it was okay and let our heroes through. Everybody was having a good time until they heard Mouna screaming. They saw Mouna walking backwards towards them as the saw her Seadcaw being battered by vine whips and aerial beams. A Tangela and a Steelinbird? “Those poke’mon seem strangely familiar.” said Mousa suspiciously while rubbing his chin. “Do you think it could be?” asked Hank nervously. Just then they saw a teenage boy with shaggy, red hair that covered his eyes and he wore a yellow and black head band. Then they saw a teenage girl who was identical to the boy only she had pink hair that was everywhere which made her look tall. “It’s Team A.F. from the Poke’mon Centre!” yelled Hank. “I knew those corny uniforms were familiar!” shouted Mousa. “Now you’re in serious trouble!” shouted the girl. “And better yet, make it double!” shouted the boy. “To protect the world from deforestation!” “And increase the forest capacity around the nation!” “To help bird poke’mon with all our love!” “And communicate with the bird poke’mon above.” “Jenny!” “Jake!” “The Team A.F. twins will win ant the speed of light!” “Surrender the poke’mon or you’ll painfully lose the fight.” “Mecatso, that’s riiight!” said the cat like poke’mon that had red arms, red legs and a red body, orange feet, white hands and face and a golden M on it’s head. Just then, Mouna’s Seadcaw fell to the ground, unable to fight any more. “Seadcaw!!!!!!” cried Mouna as she tried to nurse her defeated serpent. Now, Mousa was steamed. “Flareaton, blazing tackle!” Mousa ordered angrily. Flareaton made its body flames harmful and tried to take Tangela down but it just side-stepped out of the way and Flareaton the ground. Then Tangela used its stun spore attack and paralyzed Flareaton! “No!” cried Mousa angrily as he grabbed Flareaton. He turned on his translator. “Flareaton, are you okay? Say some thing!” {Can someone get the number of that Ryhorn that bowled me over?} Asked Flareaton who was under the affects of a new kind of stun spore. “He’s confused but he’ll be okay,” said Hank. “He’s just paralyzed.” “But why is he confused? I thought stun spore just paralyzes.” “Well,” snickered Jake slyly. “I taught my Tangela a new trick!!!! Confusion Stun Spore!” “That’s it,” yelled Hank. “Leafinglide, use your whirlwind backfire and razor leaf attacks at the exact same time!” Leafinglide did as he was told. The confusion stun spore shot back at Tangela and it stood still, waving its vines around like a lunatic. “AAAAAHHHH!” cried Jake hysterically while holding his head in fear! “My poor, poor Tangly! You’ll pay kid! Tangly means the world to me! My best friend!” Jake may be a bad guy, trying to destroy towns and factories and replacing them large bird houses and forests but, he had a good heart when it came to his Tangela or twin sister. Jake was desperately applying paralyze heal and confuse heal on Tangela. “Don’t worry big bro!” Jenny called out dramatically. “I shall avenge Tangly for you! Steelinbird, aerial attack!” “Steeeeeeleooooo!” cried the metal armored bird, coldly as it dove down to Leafinglide and struck him with its metal beak. Leafinglide fell to the ground, bruised badly; it was hit in the stomach and had no chance to defend. “Now my little brats” Jenny grinned evilly while grabbing her poke’balls. “We’ll be taking your precious poke’mon!” Just then, Bichip and Gichip ran in front of them. “What’s this?” Jake Laughed uncontrollably. “Your final battle request!?” The all the rodents went into battle position. Then the Sandshrews and Sandslashes were throwing swift stars, Gichips and Bichips were horn attacking and slashing their way to victory and Ratattas and Ratacates were gnawing on them. Mousa and Hank’s Gichip and Bichip gave them the final head butt. “Can things get any worse?” asked Mecatso in sheer agony. Then finally, Pikachus and Riachus were charging up some walnuts and threw them at Team A.F. “Aw look, some cute little nuts! What are those supposed to do? Give us high cholesterol?” Then the nuts blew up and made those nuts known as Team A.F. fly away! “It looks like Team A.F.’s blasting off again!” cried Jenny, Jake and Mecatso, charred black from the electricity while flying into the sky until there was nothing but a star and from that star came down a paper airplane. Mouna caught the paper plane and read aloud, “You may have won this time but we’ll be back! With hate, The Team A.F. Agent Twins.” And it had two ‘J’s back to back and a Mecatso paw print on the bottom. “We have finally won and hopefully, that will be the only toughest battle we shall ever encounter.” sighed Hank with exhaustion as he lay down on the grassy ground and Gichip and Leafinglide slept beside his head. “We deserve a good night’s rest.” Yawned Mousa as he lay down on the grass as well and Bichip and Flareaton slept beside him. “We’re going to have a long day tomorrow.” Yawned Mouna while looking at her own Zodiac map and her Seadcaw gently wrap its self around her. * * * “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Cried Hank and Mousa as they were running around with Flareaton and Leafinglide trying to calm them down. {Now stay calm Hankturf, I’m sure it’s just growing up} Leafinglide called out calmly while trying to tie him up with his vine whip. {Now Reggie, just be calm and meditate. It shall calm you down and maybe you can get over this fear of evolving poke’mon. Do it with me. Hooooouuuummm} yelled Flareaton as he was trying to get Mousa to stop running. Mouna woke up from all the commotion. “What’s with the commo…...tion?” asked Mouna as she saw something far worse than a community of rodents. “Biiiiiiiiiiig rodents!” and Mouna was right. Gichip was about the size of a Ninetails and had its usual gray fur along with a mask made up of computer chips, strips along its back made from computer chips, computer chip covered feet and a triangle computer chip on its tail, it was a Gigachip. Bichip had the same features except for the fact that it had a big horn, black fur and sharper teeth, it was a Byochip. After that sheer moment of our heroes stupidity (Running around like lunatics), the walk off into another cave which would lead them out of the forest. Poor souls forgot to read the fine sign above the cave that said ‘Here lurks the Forest Ninja. For those who do not want any pain inflicted upon them and have their money and food taken, find another way out of the Forest. Signed, Archibald Hazel, 1990’ To be continued… Preview for chapter 4 ‘The Forest Ninja’ “You dare try to challenge the almighty Forest Ninja Trinni?” yelled the masked maiden. “You’re about to meet a worthy opponent!” yelled Mousa as he grabbed a long, smooth stick, preparing to show her how powerful the weakling boy is.
