________________________________________________________________________ Author’s note: screw it. I’m writing another part. Oh, and I don’t own Poke’mon. Also I like reviews and money. And you may have noticed a “J” on my other chapters. That’s supposed to be a smiley face. I guess it messed it up when I changed them from wps. to txt. A Rocket’s World-Part 7 Ash started to stir. Jake splashed some water on him. “Err,” groaned Ash. “Where are we?” “I’d say either the Silver Mountains or the Himalayas.” said Jake, sarcastically. “You alright?” asked Ash. “Yeah.” Pikachu crawled out of Ash’s backpack. It started sniffing the air. Jake pulled the whistle out of his pocket and started blowing it. “Jake, NO!” yelled Ash, as he dived to grab it, but missed. “What? I’m calling Charizard to get us out of here.” Jake replied, and blew harder. A loud growling came from a rock on the other side of the lake. “There he is now. Hey, Charizard, over here!” A large figure came from behind the rock, but it wasn’t Charizard. At first, Jake couldn’t tell what it was, then it became clear. It was large, and bear-like. “Holy crap!” yelled Jake. “Its an Ursaring!” “I was about to tell you that Ursaring are usually in mountainous places like this.” Ash told him. “Who cares,” yelled Jake, as he dodged a Hyper Beam “Run for it!” Ash grabbed Pikachu and the two turned around and ran as fast as they could. Meanwhile, in Mahogany Town Penitentiary… “Come this way, ladies,” said the guard, as he guided Misty and Delilah to Giovanni’s cell. Misty looked at her mother-in-law. She seemed to be crying. The guard stopped in front of a window. The two looked inside. It was padded with cushions, and there was a man in a straitjacket sitting in the corner mumbling to himself. “I’ll come get you later,” said the guard, as he walked away. Misty looked closer at the man. He was a mess. His hair was out of place, he had stuff on his face (no rhyme intended), and he was squirming around, trying to get loose. “He wasn’t always evil” said Delilah, with tears streaming down her face “He was romantic, sweet, and a model citizen. He had a dream of making the world safer for people. He spent endless nights studying Poke’balls, trying to make them harder to steal. But somehow he changed. It was about the time we moved to Pallet Town. I had just had Ash. Giovanni decided to go off and start a company that would produce safer Poke’balls. He would call it Rocket Co. He left, then about four days later he called me from Viridian City, and that was the last time I talked to him.” Giovanni broke out in laughter for no apparent reason. Jake sat down on a large rock, after he and Ash had finally lost the Ursaring. “All I need is some Feraligatorade and this would be like that time I played football with Snorlax.” said Ash. “Hey, uh, Dad. I’m, uh, sorry for what I said.” said Jake. “I had had a bad day, you know, and… “Its alright.” said Ash. “But you kind of had it easier than me. I found out my dad was alive and the leader of Team Rocket.” “One thing. Why would you play football with a Snorlax?” asked Jake. “Long story. You see,” started Ash. But before he could tell his story, they heard a loud squawk. “What was that?” asked Jake. Suddenly, something shot into the sky. A large bird, with rainbow colored feathers. “Its Ho-oh! Something must be wrong! Lets follow it!” said Ash. “Why?” “Cause I have to. You know, the ‘chosen one’ thing?” “Fine. Lets go.” said Jake. “I have an idea. Go, Tauros!” Two Tauros appeared from their Poke’balls with a red flash. “Great idea!” complimented Ash. “Duh! I had it!” stated Jake. The two climbed on the Poke’mon and took off after Ho-oh, who waited up for them. It seemed to be heading for the top of a very tall, steep mountain. When they came to the foot of it, Jake recalled the Tauros. “Go, Ariados!” yelled Ash. The Red spider-like Poke’mon appeared with another red flash. “Wrap a web around our waists, then secure them to yourself. Next, climb up the mountain.” The Poke’mon wrapped its webs around them and, after making sure they were ready, started climbing. Halfway up, Jake got bored and challenged his dad to Rock, Paper, Scissors. He won. “I never got the point of that game. I piece of paper can’t beat a rock. Rock, Scissors, Dynamite is what it should be.” stated Ash. “Why dynamite?” “Dynamite blows up rock, rock crushes scissors, and scissors cuts the little string thing you use to light it.” “Makes sense. Look, we’re here.” said Jake, as he saw Ariados pull itself up onto a ledge. It struggle to pull Ash and Jake up, but eventually did. They were right in front of a cave. They broke the web and look at the scenery. “The great outdoors. Nothing like it.” said Ash. “Alright, enough of that. I think Ho-oh went into this cave.” Walking into the cave, Jake noticed that there were no Zubat. “That can’t be a good sign. Caves always have Zubat. Its like a rule.” thought Jake “Every cave I can think of has Zubat. Except Silver Cave, I think that only has Golbat. Hey, look, a light.” Ash looked at Jake and he nodded. They walked through the bright light. Jake couldn’t believe what he saw. Barren land, as far as the eye could see. “This land, its so gaunt. And there isn’t any Poke’mon!” exclaimed Ash. “Gaunt? What are you, a vocab book?” asked Jake. Suddenly, they heard the loud squawk again. They saw a bright flash, and Ho-oh landed right in front of them. It squawked again, and two more Poke’mon appeared in a bright light. “Hello, Chosen One.” said one of the Poke’mon. “Lugia? Ho-oh?” question Ash, as he tried to figure all of it out. “Suicune? What are you doing here? And what happened here?” “We are here for your help.” said Lugia. “Long ago, this was a beautiful meadow, filled with Poke’mon and Humans. It was paradise. Neither people nor Poke’mon needed to fight. There were no Poke’balls, stadiums, or gyms. But one day that all changed. The Rockettiations (Rock-et-ti-a-she-ons), Human outsiders who wanted nothing but power, invaded. They burned the vegetation, captured the Poke’mon in those things that you call ‘Poke’balls’ and took over. When Ho-oh, saw this, he was outraged.” The phoenix-like Poke’mon snorted. “He called together the other Legendary Poke’mon. Celebi, the Poke’mon of time, Mew, the Poke’mon of Birth, Moltres, Poke’mon of Fire, Articuno, Poke’mon of Ice, Zapdos, Poke’mon of Lightening, Kyogre, Poke’mon of Water, Groudon, Poke’mon of Soil, Deoxys, Poke’mon of Space, Rayquaza, Poke’mon of the Sky, Jirachi, Poke’mon of Stars, and myself, Poke’mon of the Ocean. He also called the Demi-legendaries, the Regi, the Poke’mon of the Earth, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou, Poke’mon of elements, and Latios and Latias, the Poke’mon of Intelligence. “Each of us called other Poke’mon to help, and we declared war on the Rockettiations. For many years we fought, thinking we had won. Yet the Rockettiations had a secret weapon. The Gargoyle Poke’mon. Extremely strong Poke’mon, such as Tyranitar, or Typhlosion, only more Powerful. We legendaries were the only ones who could take them. Soon, it was only us against an army. We begged Mew to create other Gargoyle Poke’mon, for our side. He said he would never create abominations like that just for war. But something horrible changed his mind.” “What was it?” asked Ash. “Five of the Legendary Poke’mon, Deoxys, Regice, Registeel, Regirock, and Groudon went over to their side. They were somehow made into Gargoyle Poke’mon. Out of desperation, Mew agreed. “He gathered the DNA of 189 Poke’mon, and chose very few to make into Gargoyle Poke’mon. The first one he created was a winged Diglett. It didn’t work so well. Next was a winged Ralts and a winged Staryu. A little better, but not strong enough. Next he made a winged Armaldo, Loudred, Sealeo, and Swalot. That helped somewhat, but still no enough. We pushed him harder to make stronger Poke’mon. Finally, he made Gargoyle Venusaur, Gengar, Golem, Raichu, and Meganium. Mew’s Gargoyle Poke’mon were stronger than the Rockettiations, but not the Legendary Gargoyles. “We knew the war had to stop, for if we continued, the Planet would be destroyed. Ho-oh begged Mew to create one more Gargoyle Poke’mon, with the DNA of himself and Mew. Mew agreed, as long as all the gargoyle Poke’mon were locked in the earth, never to be released again. He called it ‘Ultamew’. He was the strongest Poke’mon ever to live. But at first, he was not a Gargoyle Poke’mon. He was white with a purple tail, and had an advanced brain, so he could translate his feelings into Human talk, such as I do. He didn’t want to fight, yet accepted his destiny. Mew paid a price for creating a Poke’mon that strong. He could no longer create new species of Poke’mon, and he could no longer use DNA to create any kind of Poke’mon. it had to be done by breeding from then on. “When we first sent him out into battle, he was merciless, as though his conscience disappeared. He took down the Gargoyle Poke’mon, one by one, Locking them away, each in a different place so they would not be summoned together again. He even locked away the ones Mew made. Finally, it was just the Legendary Gargoyles left. It was a great, terrible battle, between the legendary Gargoyles and a select few of Legendaries and Ultamew. These legendaries were myself, Ho- oh, Mew, Kyogre, Jirachi, Rayquaza, and Celebi. It was two against one, except for Ultamew, who was fighting against Gargoyle Deoxys by himself. After the other four were destroyed, it was those two who were left. Ultamew place a strong barrier around the battle sight, so we couldn’t come in, and Deoxys couldn’t leave. “Soon, Ultamew slowed down a bit, and Deoxys nailed him with a Hyper Beam. He was left out cold. The barrier deteriorated, and we charged in to battle. Yet he defeated all of us, too. Soon, the leader of the Rockettiations get him to obey her. ‘I am the one who made you what you are’ said the Leader. ‘You must listen to me.’ Yet Deoxys refused, and the leader set all her troops on him. He took them down with ease. The leader fled, saying that one day, she would come back and destroy her creation. “Meanwhile, Ultamew was waking up. He saw us lying there, unconscious. He thought us dead, and became angry. Something happened. His body turned multicolored, and he sprouted wings just like Ho-oh’s. He then flew off to face Deoxys. I had just woken up as he flew off, and I went after him. By the time I had caught up with him, the battle was over. Knowing then that he was a Gargoyle Poke’mon himself, he locked himself away, leaving only a hair. The wings from the Legendary Gargoyles (who weren’t locked away) disappeared. “The other four legendaries claimed that Deoxys had them under Hypnosis. The other Legendaries split him in two and sent him to the edge of the universe as a comet. Then, for their crimes, the Regis were locked away, and Groudon was forced to make traps so that the Gargoyle Poke’mon could never be summoned again. “Thousands of years later, almost all the legendaries are in their resting places, and things are pretty mush peaceful. Yet, a descendant of the leader of the Rockettiations started an evil organization, called Team Rocket. I believe you know them.” “So, does that mean me and my dad descendants of the Rockettiations’ leader?” Jake asked. “No” replied Lugia. “Giovanni was a puppet. The true leader hasn’t revealed herself to you yet.” “Then why are we here?” he questioned “I’m getting to that. Mew had saved the hair Ultamew had left behind, and Team Rocket had made a regeneration machine. He knew it was risky, but he also knew it was the only way to see his greatest creation, who was made from his DNA. He spotted some Rocket scientists on a safari in the Johto rainforests. They were heading straight for a shrine built by an ancient civilization to honor him. Quickly, Mew flew into the shrine and dropped Ultamew’s hair. Then he froze it in amber. He than waited for the scientists to enter the shrine before he teleported out of there. A few days later, Mew found a tent the scientists had set up. He looked inside, eavesdropped for a second, then flew off toward this mountain. He told Ho-oh of what had happened. He wasn’t pleased.” Ho-oh snorted again. “He disapproved of the fact that he had let such power fall into the hands of such scum. Ho-oh demanded he go to Celebi and stop himself from doing it, but he refused and flew off. “He kept an eye on the Rockets as Ultamew was regenerated. The Humans renamed him Mewtwo.” “Mewtwo!” yelled Ash. _________________________________________________________________________That took a while. Review please.
