Pokemon Crystal series

Ep. 66

The last time we left everybody hangin', Crystal won a tough gym battle over everyone's good friend, Brock. But the time that was supposed to be meant for celebration was abruptly cut off by a disturbance in the grounds nearby. A disturbance caused by poor TR and Delibird when they stumbled into a prehistoric cavern filled with valuable artifacts to excavate. Deep into the cave, they draw the ire of a pissed off, carnivorous Aerodactyl that had been awoken... and poor TR is about to feel the wrath of it all because they went in there to chase Jessie's voyeuristic Dunsparce and to collect stuff to pay off Delibird. Yeah, they always get screwed.... as usual. But more importantly, what's going to happen to our heroes AND to the nearby reviving city now that Aerodactyl is about to unleash its wrath?!?

<cue intro>

"We have to see what's going on out there", declares Flint. "Do you know the way?", shouts Crystal as her chemically enhanced experience of the event is making things extra dramatic for her. Pikachu and Sandshrew try to keep each other from landing on their fat asses as Brock declares that they'll lead the way but they have no time and thus, must get going. So Cyndaquil and Misdreavus get called back to their pokeballs from being out in the last episode (hey, at least I TRY to maintain some consistent for any of the writers reading this) as Brock looks around seeing another problem in the gym. No, it's not the fact that there are streaks on the window, though it probably does draw Brock's perceptive attention, he needs someone to watch the siblings so that they don't wander off or break a vase or narc on their daddy's stash. So Brock turns to Justin and asks him to do him a favor and watch the kids while they're out. "Uhhh... sure", replies Justin unsure of how to babysit one, let alone ten kids, "Do I have to do any chores for them?" "Oh not really", assures Brock as the rumbling begins to pick up, "Just make sure you wash Ricky in 20 minutes, then steam Sandy's carrots for her dinner, but make sure you cut off the ends but not too much or too little, then shine Timmy's shoes for school tomorrow and iron his sweater to get out that starchy look and also...." Horrified by the work these kids bring upon him, Justin cuts him off stuttering, "Uhhh-duuhh uh huh huh, okay Brock, I'll use my best judgment." "Sweetheart, let's hurry!", encourages lovemuffin Janelle and thus, Crystal, Misty, Brock, Janelle, Flint, Sandshrew, and Pikachu shove off leaving Justin behind a gymful of coke addict spawn.

As for Team Rocket, it appears as if they've gotten into a situation they can't get out of for the 173489502th time as Aerodactyl is positioned right over them including Jessie who's legs are spread unusually wide open. Whew ***sweats***, either she's willing to pay the ultimate price for survival or she's feeling the rush of the moment if ya know what I mean. "Delibirdiiii!", panics Delibird as Meowth PUN-ishes that he thinks they're ancient history. "Come on you big scaredy cat! It's only one Aerodactyl! We can fight back, and then we can bring it back to the boss so this beaked Santa Claus will never bother us again. Goo! Arbok!!", declares Jessie sending out her ace pokemon before having Dunsparce join in the battle. James then allegedly provides help by adding Weezing to the fray looking as two-headed and useless as usual. "Please pruhtect us, my golden figyarine means everyting tuh me", weeps Meowth nervously as he caresses the solid gold statue of himself, the artifact he found just before they ran into Aerodactyl. Make of that what you will.

"Arbok! Use poison sting!", begins Jessie, but the stingers are blocked by Aerodactyl's oversized wings and it then takes off at a very fast speed clobbering all three pokemon with its wings. "Dat ting's a winguh!", PUN-ishes Meowth as a horrified TR then looks on. Jessie then shouts at Delibird, "Aren't you going to try and save yourself? Not to mention me, more importantly?!?!" "Delibirdi delibirdiii", shouts Delibird flapping around happily. "What d'ya mean it's our job tuh save ya to woik off what we owe?", Meowth shouts back at Delibird waving his fist at it. "Wooooobbuuhhffeet", also interrogates Wobbuffet calmly. "Delibirdiiii", replies Delibird confidently making Jessie snap, "It sounds like we have a volunteer!", as she chucks Delibird right in front of Aerodactyl making it wiggle its arms swiftly in panic as Aerodactyl roars loudly at the white, grizzled looking bird pokemon.

Just before Aerodactyl goes to chew it up, Delibird gets out a present and chucks it at the prehistoric beast making it roar louder and the cave shake more violently. "Keep it up, Delibird, or else we'll all be volunteering in the afterlife", says Jessie alertly as Delibird continues to throw presents at it. But this seems to only piss off Aerodactyl as it begins to scream like Lugia once did when TR stole its child and then Aerodactyl breaks Delibird's wave of presents by unleashing a devastating blast of energy right at TR. "Uh oh, I hope that not...", starts James nervously looking up at Aerodactyl. "HYPER BEEEEEEEEAM!", screams TR as Aerodactyl's hyper beam triggers an enormous boom that caves in the deep part of the cavern bearing down on TR. Enraged by the attack that TR tried to unleash on Aerodactyl, it roars again and proceeds to fly up and reveal itself to the surface to unleash its killdeath rampage on the surrounding area..... which happens to be Pewter City! TR tries to escape the cave-in but they get cut off by a wall of boulders as Aerodactyl flies ahead of them and towards the cave's exit.

"It sounds like it's coming from over there", shouts Brock as he sprints w/ Janelle ahead of the pack. Flint then informs them, "The archeological cavern is over there!" "You mean the cavern where they discovered those prehistoric fossils and artifacts?", asks Misty running with Flint and of course, her friend Cris-tal. "Precisely!", replies Flint as they reach the field surrounding the cliff with the cave opening at the bottom. "There's the cave!", points out Brock as Janelle detects that something's coming out..... something big! Just then, Aerodactyl busts through the opening of the cavern scattering enormous boulders everywhere sending the twerps scattering for cover. "RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAAAAARRRRRRGGHH!", screams Aerodactyl as Cris-tal looks up at it wondering what the hell she mixed into her pills this morning. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??", gasps Crystal appropriately as she takes out her pokedex. Misty shouts that it's an Aerodactyl watching the awakened prehistoric beast fly around the immediate area.

Aerodactyl - the Fossil Pokemon - This vicious, pokemon is said to have flown, in ancient skies, while shrieking, high-pitched cries.

"That doesn't sound good", Crystal quips with a long face. "But how could a wild Aerodactyl exist in that cavern when all we found was fossil fragments of other prehistoric pokemon?", Brock asks aloud. "Maybe it was awoken by digging in the cavern or some other type of noise nearby", figures Janelle feeling uneasy despite Brock copping a feel of her... oh yes, he really is dodgers and other readers alike!!! "Aaaaaaaahh! Help us, please!", shout out voices from inside the cavern beneath the rocks. "Oh no, somebody's in trouble! They must have been left behind in Aerodactyl's tracks and are trapped in there", Crystal remarks. So Flint add, "They could be some of the research scientists or archaeologists!", and thus Brock proposes that they go in the cave to get whoever it is out. Crystal must've forgotten about her TR suspicions earlier as she silently agrees with her. She goes with Cyndaquil who weakly utters a, "Cyndaquil!", when he comes out of his pokeball. Crystal then wants Cyndaquil to use its fire to light the way in this dark cave just like it did in the Diglett Cave.

"Cyndaquiiiil", responds Cyndaquil as it gets its fire going.... briefly. Cyndaquil starts breathing harder for air as its fire dwindles down to a very low level which won't even illuminate a mole hill. "Cyndaquil, what's wrong?", wonders Crystal desperately as Brock informs her that her Cyndaquil just fought in a grueling pokemon battle back at the gym and that her pokemon are still tired from that. "So what do we do?", wonders Crystal. "Let me use Magcargo, it can light up the cave just fine, and I didn't use it in the match so it's healthy. Gooooo Magcargooo!", replies Brock as Magcargo makes another appearance. "Magcaargoooo!", boasts Magcargo as Brock tells it that they need it to lead the way in the cave with its firelight. Magcargo obliges as it slithers its way into the cave followed by Crystal, Brock, and Janelle leaving Misty and Flint behind to follow Aerodactyl as it starts tearin' sh*t up.

"Hellooooo?", shouts Crystal. "Anyone home?", adds Brock as they then hear muffled sounds about 150 feet or so into the cave. "Oh no, I hear them! I think that they're trapped over those caved in boulders, dear", Janelle tells Brock with all of them worried. "I would normally use Bulbasaur here but Bulbasaur's still tired from the gym battle", mopes Crystal. "Don't worry about that, Crystal", Janelle assures her, "I have some pokemon that can take care of this. GOOOOOOOO!!"

So apparently Janelle a big shot pokemon trainer, too, and not just some slut for a former main character to screw.

Out of her four pokeballs come two Bellossoms, a Vileplume, and a Ledyba... all shouting their names. "Whoa... those are some cool pokemon, Janelle", Crystal compliments. Janelle thanks her as Brocks adds in, "They're a figure of her beauty just like her beauty", making no sense like most lovestruck fools. "Alright everyone, use your vine whips to pull those rocks off of the pile. Ledyba, you pull off some rocks, too!", Janelle instructs as they all oblige. They fling aside the smaller rocks while struggling a bit more to get the bigger rocks away. And underneath the entire pile, what do they find but a pancaked TR, including Dunsparce, Arbok, Weezing, Wobbuffet, and Delibird all mangled over each other. Janelle gasps, "They're those troublemakers we ran into before on the wagon!" "I knew those cries sounded like TR!", declares Cris-tal with Pikachu howling an angry, "PIIIIIKAAH!" "Ohhh... I think my equilibrium's been flatlined", James moans in a funny position. "Wooooobbuuh wooooooob", adds Wobbuffet who's back to smiling and saluting.

"Alright, what are you guys doing down here. You're not supposed to be down here!", chides Brock. Jessie retorts, "We wouldn't be down here if THIS thing (holding up Dunsparce by the tail) didn't wander off from us!" Meowth then frantically searching for his precious solid gold replica statue of itself which James explains with a laugh, "And while we were down here, we discovered a whole trove of unhoarded treasure which is now buried again thanks to Aerodactyl's anger." "We know about the treasure here already, and I'm betting you tried to take it all, didn't you?!", shouts back Brock. "Delibirdiii", says Delibird who begins to dance around since James begins to refer to it. "Hey, YOU get into thousands of dollars in debt thanks to your inept cohorts. Then, get followed around by a money hungry collection hawk like this thing (pointing to Delibird) and then we'll talk about artifact collection!", responds James.

Before they get into fisticuffs..... no... check that, Brock and James?? then I'd say... uhh... a verbal spat about embroidery, Misty races down to interrupt them. She alertly informs them, "Sorry to interrupt this little powwow, but you guys have to come up here, now! Aerodactyl has gone totally nuts and is destroying everything in its path." They all gasp and Brock replies, "That sounds very bad!" "As much as it seems", responds Misty. "It wouldn't have caused any trouble if you didn't weasel your way down there!", says Crystal addressing TR. "Well none of us will be able to cause any trouble if we don't get up there like that other redhead told us to", Jessie replies as TR calls back its pokemon as they all race out of the cave led by Magcargo who's snailing its way through as quickly as it can.

When they all get out, they discover Aerodactyl hyper beaming the surrounding forest like crazy causing all types of calamity. "You see all this debris scattered around here? All of it has been made by that Aerodactyl up there", Flint informs them. Aerodactyl flies around hearing some kind of repetitous sound that drives it crazy. It looks down and sees a construction site where somebody's grinding a jackhammer against the sidewalk of what appears to be a new building. "RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHRRRRR!!", roars Aerodactyl as it can't stand the pounding of the jackhammer and thus, it fires up a hyper beam and blows the construction site apart. DAMAGE! Gasping in horror with the rest, Brock shouts, "UUUUUGGH! THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NEW EXERCISE GYM!" And then we see more destruction with Aerodactyl tearing apart more places with its hyper beam as it lets out another shriek.

Fortunately, in the face of all this danger is Officer Jenny as she alertly.... oh wait, she's speeding the hell away from the Aerodactyl in the opposite direction, nevermind. "ATTENTION PEWTER CITY CITIZENS: WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY SITUATION ON OUR HANDS, IT IS VITAL THAT EVERYBODY, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, TAKE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY! THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!", she announces through her P/A on top of the car. Fearing for their lives, the residents, environmentally careless land developers, and construction workers alike flee for safety as we see Justin looking up at Aerodactyl in the sky while holding back the children from venturing outside during these dangerous times. "It's going to destroy the city if nobody does anything", panics Janelle. "I don't know why Aerodactyl's doing this, and I don't like to hurt other pokemon, but right now, we have NO CHOICE", declares Crystal. "But dat ting is really high up, en nuttin looks like it's gonna slow it down", Meowth comments as Wobbuffet adds, "Wooooobbuuuh wobbuuuhhh!"

Crystal clears her throat for a moment and declares, "Well we can take care of this as a team", looking at Sandshrew and then Pikachu before commanding, "Pikachu, use your thunderbolt!" "PIKAAAH! Piiiiiii-KAAAAAAH-CHUUUUUUU!", shouts Pikachu as it electrifies the winged behemoth flying above. Wasting little time, Crystal calls upon the drug induced Noctowl to carry Sandshrew up towards Aerodactyl and give it a body slam attack which nails Aerodactyl in the air. But instead of defeating Aerodactyl, it gets a second wind just like Goldberg or Hulk Hogan... umm excuse me, ahem, Mr. America... and just shrieks even louder making everyone cover their ears nearby except for Noctowl, who's used to such a sensory imbalance. "Aaah, that's a supersonic that Aerodactyl is using", shouts Brock as the horrible sound makes him hop around strangely. "Listen tuh you complain, my ears is a hundred times bigguh den yours!", responds Meowth as we see TR covering their ears including Delibird. Aerodactyl then uses that distraction to kick both Sandshrew's and Noctowl's asses making them fall from the air hard. "NOCTOWL! SANDSHREW!!", gasps Crystal rushing over to the two of them along with Pikachu. "Oh no, they fell so hard!", gasps Janelle. "Oh I'd never let you fall so hard. I'll always break your fall even if you were falling faster than a fiery comet", Brock professes to Janelle. "Ohh... and I'd do that for you double, my sweet sweet cupcake", Janelle professes back to Brock.

Crystal then checks on her pokemon as Pikachu checks upon Noctowl and more notably, Sandshrew to hope that they can recover alright. "Oh no! Even the twerps couldn't stop Aerodactyl!", gasps Jessie as Wobbuffet stands steadfast besides her. "That is one pretty angry pokemon", comments James as we see Aerodactyl growl some more before continuing its Lugia-like killdeathdestroy rampage by hyper beaming a few more Pewter City buildings sending random civilians running for other cover. Brock then gets all philosophical now and wonders aloud to everyone, "Hey, I wonder if the discovery of artifacts, ancient ruins, and the sprawl of the city are the causes behind Aerodactyl's mad rampage." "Really? How do you figure that, Brock?", asks Misty.

"Think about it, Misty. Ever since the rebuilding effort of the city began, the noise from construction has made the noise pollution level significantly higher. A small price to pay for us to improve our city.... but for Aerodactyl and any other creature that lives in the cavern discovered by the archaeological dig recently undertaken, the noise and disturbance in the ground is something that must be difficult for a pokemon like Aerodactyl to handle, especially after not being disturbing for perhaps thousands of years. Being that Aerodactyl is already known for its roughness and cruelty, being rudely awakened like this is bound to really tick it off, and thus, Aerodactyl can't take anymore and now goes out to destroy what it perceives to be the problem being all the construction work going on", presumes Brock sounding confident enough to the point where you as an audience are supposed to believe him. "I guess I can understand that, but Aerodactyl is mega-powerful! How do we subdue it long enough to stop it from causing more damage. I don't know if any of our pokemon have a chance against that beast", fears Janelle. "But if we don't do something, all the hope of the city's redevelopment is going to get wiped out!", adds Flint.

Oooohh... desperate times... the fate of an entire city is at stake! But you know the old adage, 'desperate times call for desperate measures'. And Crystal does indeed take a couple of measures, one noticeably dodgy measure we'll see later on involving TV's favorite subject, sex appeal. But for now, Crystal just does her job to assure everyone since she's the lead character and that's what lead characters do. Holding Sandshrew like a baby, she tells them, "Keep calm everyone, we just have to keep trying and not quit. Aerodactyl is a tough pokemon but if nothing else, I ASSURE YOU, Pikachu, Sandshrew, and I will not let Aerodactyl destroy this city. I don't care what we have to do to save it." "Alright, then let's get after it before it gets away", says Brock and they go run off after the nutso Aerodactyl into the city.

But TR stays behind when Jessie tells them, "Let them do their little hero gig." "But why, Jessie, we can't let dat Aerodactyl get uhway wit losin' me my favorite statue!", replies Meowth. "Don't worry about that, Meowth. We've got plenty else to deal with...", replies Jessie as Delibird shouts out its catch cry making Jessie look demonically towards it as if to imply that the bill collector is what they're dealing with. She continues, "Besides, we're going to get that Aerodactyl anyway and all we have to do is wait for those twerps to provide the right distraction. .....Say, it's getting rather chilly around here." The cold breeze tends to indicate that something big is nearby and thus, something whisks through the bushes at a high rate of speed behind them... too fast for TR to notice except for James who can only sense that something mysterious just passed by behind them.

"You guys, did you just notice something big fly right behind us?", James asks, so Jessie, Meowth, Wobbuffet, and Delibird turn around to look at the scenery behind them. "Umm... I don't tink dere was anything. Aerodactyl out da utha way, Jimmy!", Meowth tells him before turning to ask Jessie, "Are we gonna chase da twoips, yet?". "Woooooooooobbuuhh woooooobb", proudly states Wobbuffet as Delibird beckons at Jessie, "Delibirdi... delibirdiiii." "KNOCK IT OFF, ALL OF YOU!", shouts Jessie punting all of them into the air before shouting at them, "THERE'S A CITY OF PEOPLE PANICKING BECAUSE AERODACTYL'S ABOUT TO BLOW THEM TO BITS AND EVEN STILL, THERE'S NOT ONE PERSON OUT THERE THAT'S BEING RUSHED QUITE AS MUCH AS I'M BEING RUSHED BY ALL YOU NINCOMPOOPS!"

So then we get to the challenger for that title position held by Jessie which is currently Justin as he tries to keep up with all the demands of Brock's many siblings. He rushes across the kitchen with a PB & J sandwich on a plate as he hurriedly shouts, "Here's your sandwich, Casey, I made sure to bite off the corners of the crush without leaving any of my spit, whoa don't worry Ronnie I'll get you off the top of the armoir, Penny, Brock specifically told you no MacGyver reruns, hey stay in the tub Stewart, you'renotfullycleanyetpleasewaituntilImashbabyJessica'scarrots <looks over at something> ohno... don'tworryI'mcomingwiththemopit'llbecleanbeforeyou..." Justin scurries back and forth across the kitchen the whole time picking up after and giving stuff to Flint's needy kids before he trips on a wet spot on the floor landing hard right on his chin making a loud crashing sound effect. Screw Aerodactyl... kids are the real debbil!!!

<cue commercial> Who's that pokemon?? (This freaky and scary legendary thunder pokemon has clouds on its back and teeth that could cut open even Ash's thick skull.)

It's Raikou!! ................................................... "Raikooooooouu!"

"RRRRRROOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHH!!", screams Aerodactyl some more as it lights up the night sky with its hyper beam blasting rocks (those 'rocks' i. e. cocaine rocks that Flint used to sell), trees, more construction sites, and even entire houses and buildings. "I can't believe Aerodactyl is still going, it's not even tiring out", comments Misty as she runs and looks up in awe as do the rest of the twerps. "So how do we stop it, Crystal?", asks Brock. Flint tells them, "Sending another flying pokemon after Aerodactyl is only going to jeopardize that poor pokemon." Crystal then sees a building that appears to be just the right height according to her altered perceptions and claims she has an idea and turns to Pikachu claiming that she needs its help. "Pii? Pikachuuu!", responds Pikachu as Crystal is holding Sandshrew while running the whole time.

She then tells them that she needs Pikachu to get onto the roof of that building she's looking at (it's about 3 stories high) so Pikachu can get Aerodactyl's attention with its electric attacks. "Onix can help out here. Goooooo!", shouts Brock as the long rock snake type comes out. "GA-ROOOOOAAAR!", roars Onix extending its body to the top of the building so Pikachu can reach the top. "Pikachu, use your thundershock and get Aerodactyl's attention!", commands Crystal. "Pika. Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH-CHUUUUUUUUUUUU!", squeals Pikachu sending electric energy in the direction of Aerodactyl making it slow down before it notices the puny yellow dynamo trying to get its attention. So Aerodactyl now swoops down towards Pikachu on the roof on some random building lucky enough to still be standing. "Now what?", wonders Misty as she surprising sees Crystal scaling Onix to join Pikachu up at the top of the building making her gasp in horror, "WAAAHH! CRYSTAL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" "Crystal, get down!", shouts Brock but Crystal insists that she has to take on and stop Aerodactyl using all her heroic technique.

Aerodactyl lands on the roof with a thud roaring loudly in Pikachu's direction putting it on edge. "Don't do it, Aerodactyl", shouts Crystal reaching the roof via Onix, "Please calm down." She then stands, with her medium-length hair whipping in the wind in front of Pikachu who wisely stays behind while she reasons, "I know you're upset, and you have a right to be. But this kind of enraged violence is only going to get you in more trouble and will only make things worse." "Is she trying to reason with that beast?", asks Janelle clinging onto Brock whom quips that Crystal has perhaps gone more mental than Aerodactyl. Crystal then continues that she's sorry that they all attacked it before, but they were all worried about themselves and their neighbors and she's sure Aerodactyl would feel the same concerned if somebody went after Aerodactyl's friends cuz she claims that she knows that she would. Aerodactyl angrily grumbles at her so it's time for her to go to her next ditch idea that always proves to get everyone's attention as well as shoot up the ratings.

That's right children, it's time for the sex-factor!

Crystal cautiously approaches Aerodactyl and begins to massage the sides of Aerodactyl's rough and scaly body making it lose its tension as she then presses her body gently against Aerodactyl's other side. Aroused yet? She then tells him, "I know this is difficult to handle for you, but times always as I'm sure you're aware of and society continues to change with it both humans and pokemon. Right Sandshrew? Right Pikachu?"
"Saanshreeeeww!"
"Pika Pi-KAAAH!"
"That is some guts to get that close to something so dangerous!", comments Flint who had a lot more guts to have a dozen or so kids when he approached their crack addict mother in some back alley. "I understand, she's trying to care for Aerodactyl as if it were another. Crystal is a volunteer junior nurse, you know", Misty reminds them. "Oh yeah... but I still don't think this is a wise thing for Crystal to do."

"Please Aerodactyl, we wanna help you. The people behind this disturbance mean well, they'll find a way to get you back the peace you had sleeping within that cavern, even if they have to abort their discoveries", concludes Crystal as Sandshrew then translates for Aerodactyl. "Rrrrrrrrr", grrr's Aerodactyl. "Saaashrew shrew shrew. Sanshrew. Shrrreew shrew", Sandshrew tells Aerodactyl as Crystal pets its sides. "Don't worry, my friends and I will make sure that nothing happens to you", Crystal tells Aerodactyl before something in the night sky catches her attention making her shout, "OH NO!" A tangle of wires then descends onto them and despite the pleas of Brock, Aerodactyl, Cris-tal, and Sandshrew get tied up in the metal wires. "RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHH!", screams Aerodactyl giving Cris-tal a migraine headache as they're all unable to move. Crystal grunts her best to worm out of it but the cord is too tight around all of them, including Sandshrew, to get away. So who's up to this dastardly deed? Well looking up we see TR of course, and in their happy Buddha-faced Meowth balloon to boot. "We totally forgot about Team Rocket in all our rushing around..... GET ME OUTTA HERE!", she shouts as the balloon lifts them all off the roof surface. "Come back here, Team Rocket!", shouts Brock as Janelle declares, "Let 'em go!" "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA", laughs back TR.

"Prepare for trouble, we won't be back till..."
"We've signed, sealed, and delivered Aerodactyl!!"
"To protect the world from devastation", shouts Jessie as they appear in a prehistoric leopard color hide over one shoulder, like all the cavechicks did with a fake Stone Age backdrop.
"To unite all the peoples within our nation"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love", in a page out of the Flintstones, they say these next two lines charging at the screen with one of those vehicles that move by them moving the seat real fast. Jessie's in the American driving spot making her the lead driver, but James is in the European/Australian drivers position making him the leader in that case... hmmm... wanna choose a side??
"To extend our reach to the stars above"
"Jessie"
"James"
"Team Rocket blasting back to the Stone Age at the speed of light"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight, fiiight", James squeals.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBUUHHFFEET!", announces Wobbuffet with its own loincloth and club before Meowth pounds it into the prehistoric ground with its own club finishes, "Heh heh heh... Meeeeowth, thaaat's right!"
"Delibirdiiiii!", shouts Delibird jumping in front of Meowth and cheering.

"I almost had Aerodactyl calmed down until you three wrecked everything... just like you always do", puts down Crystal as she's really together with Aerodactyl now. This makes James quip gleefully, "Well that's what we do best, wreck stuff. And don't worry about Aerodactyl, it'll be in very safe hands once we deliver it to the boss." "Woooooobbuuhh wooooobbuuuhhffet", salutes Wobbuffet for no reason. "Pika!", shouts Pikachu as it takes a leap of faith to join its buddy Cris-tal and its lover, Sandshrew stuck with the mass of rage that is Aerodactyl. "Pikachu!", shouts Misty from below as Onix is still attaching itself to the building. "No Pikachu, you can't shock them. I don't mind if I get shocked, but Aerodactyl can't take anymore. We can't hurt Aerodactyl", Crystal tells her yellow rodent. "RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH!", roars Aerodactyl right in Pikachu's face. But though it flinches a little, Pikachu clings onto Crystal's pants by its nails as it looks up angry at Aerodactyl and TR. "Well isn't that nice, we got Pikachu and Sandshrew to come along on our prehistoric expedition", shouts a pleased Jessie. "En da boss's place is so close, it'll be drive Aerodactyl in en drive Deliboid out... no uhfense ya collection soiviceboid!", Meowth states turning to the tagalong Delibird. "Delibirdii!", quips Delibird in response.

"RRRAAAAARRRGGHH RRRAAAARRRGH", continuously roars Aerodactyl who's back in a killdeathhell rage mood after a soothing interlude from Cris-tal. As TR continues to take them away in there happy Buddha-faced Meowth balloon as the other twerps notice, Crystal tries to figure out some way that Pikachu can get them free since Sandshrew is bound close to Crystal when it'd rather be bound close to Pikachu. "Oh... I know there's a way to get us free...", thinks Crystal to herself before getting an idea, "Wait.. that's it!" "PIKACHU! Use your iron tail attack on the metal cord!" "Pikaah!", responds Pikachu as its tail turns bright before the yellow rodent then flicks it across the top of the cable, snapping it and setting free Crystal, Sandshrew, and Aerodactyl. "OH NOOOOO!", shouts Jessie as Meowth quips that Pikachu has struck again. "...struck our cable cord!", adds James. Now the great news for Cris-tal is that she's free, but the lingering pot in her system made her forget one little teensy detail.

....... THERE'S NOTHING TO STOP THEM FROM FALLING FROM SO HIGH UP IN THE AIR!!!!

"WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I didn't know we were so high ..uuuuup!", declares Cris-tal.... make of that what you will.. she then grabs Pikachu and tells the two of 'em to hang on tight.... so they can splatter together, of course. "THEY'RE GONNA PLUMMET ALL THE WAY TO THE STREET!", fears Brock's daddy. Good friend Misty, meanwhile, shouts, "Crystal, NOOOO!" "This is bad, I can't even watch", whimpers Brock who casts aside his fears by burying his head into Janelle's chest (you read that right) while she gasps. But just as Crystal and the gang are whoa-ing just before they hit the street, they are caught just off the ground by a swooping............. Aerodactyl?? Nope.... still pissed at world! Rather, it's Justin and his time warp syndrome Dragonite, with goggles on, to the rescue after their stint taking care of the kids.

"Ugh!", says Crystal landing with Sandshrew and Pikachu roughly behind Justin, "Just in time." "Yeah... no kidding", says Justin laughing like it's an unfunny joke. "Nice catch Justin, it's great that he could make it", says a relieved Misty. Flint then wonders, "But who's watching the kids?" Up in the air meanwhile, Crystal also asks him if the kids are alright. "Not to worry, Cris, I've got everything all under control!", he declares. And back at the house, we see all his other pokemon pitching in to watch the kids. We have Raticate using its bubblebeam attack to wash the floor while Nidoqueen mops it and takes care of the other cleaning and maintenance chores.

He he he he he heeeee.... Nidoqueen mopping.... heheheheheheeeee...

As for Kabutops, it is teaming up with the gym's Kabutops to use their scythes to clear tables, move around chairs and furniture, and cutting up veggies to be ready to eat tomorrow. And when a couple of Brock's younger siblings try to sneak out of their bedroom during bedtime, Misdreavus notices and stops them using its scary ghost pokemon techniques to scare them back to their bedrooms. F*ck the au pairs of the world, especially when there are pokemon that work twice as well for half the price!!

"Your kids will be okay, TRUST MEEE!", shouts Justin down to Flint as they speed around the block. "Well that's certainly something to keep track of... OH NO! Justin.. LOOK OOOOOOUUUT!", says Brock before shouting the warning to the airborne Justin. They turn to see the newly enraged Aerodactyl screaming towards them connecting with Dragonite dead on target. The collision looks like an ugly mid-air collision that sends both pokemon hammered to the ground and the twerps against a brick wall very hard. "AHH!", gasps the twerps on the ground as Brock comments, "They took a direct hit!" "Let's see if they're okay!", says Janelle before TR hovers over them in their balloon with Jessie declaring they should quickly try to get Aerodactyl while its shaken up. "Wooobbuuhh", announces Wobbuffet before Jessie pushes it back down below the happy Buddha-faced Meowth balloon's view.

"Oh yeah, Team Rocket! We gotta get 'em out of the way", proclaims Brock. "Leave it to me, Brock! Togetic GOO!", shouts Misty sending out Togetic... whom Brock hasn't seen since it was the evil Togepi. "Is that the evolved Togepi?", he asks and Misty tells him that it sure is to which Brock replies, "Well it's good to see that you've been able to control it." "Toge-trrrrric!", chirps Togetic as Janelle proclaims that she'll help, too, and then sends forth her Ledyba to battle TR since it's the only one of her pokemon that can reach the balloon. "Watch out, you guys. We have four-alarm twerp alert!", James states so Jessie declares that they'll see about that and then sends Delibird to stop them. "Delibeeeeeh?! Delibirdiii", replies Delibird. "WHAA? Whaddaya mean ya ain't fightin' OUR battles?", retorts a shocked Meowth. "Wooooobbbuuhhffet", comments Wobbuffet popping back up making Jessie pop it back down in frustration. She tells the little sackmaster, "Well right now you ARE a part of this team and if you don't help us out, then you'll be THE FIRST PIECE OF MEAT WE FEED TO THAT OVERGROWN PREHISTORIC BEAST! NOW GOOO!!!", and she then shoves Delibird out forcing it to face Togetic and Ledyba.

Jessie commands Delibird to use present to which Misty and Janelle have their pokemon weave around. And then if the group couldn't be dodgy enough as it is, Misty then has Togetic give Delibird a sweet kiss!..... a sweet kiss attack... :\ The kiss, which Togetic plants on Delibird's cheek, makes Delibird get all f*cked up and swaying back and forth in midair. "Daah, what kind uh lipstick do ya need to have a kiss like dat?", comments Meowth. This leaves the perfect opening for Ledyba to repeatedly punish Delibird with its comet punch hitting it right and left, back and forth repeatedly.

During this battle, Flint and Brock make it over to the fallen twerps as Flint inquires about their condition. "Ugghh... I'm sore but I think I'll be alright", says Crystal. "Me too", grimaces Justin in pain who then looks to see his Dragonite's condition. "You alright there, Dragonite?", he asks and Dragonite moans in pain as it favors its left wing. "It looks like Dragonite landed right on his left wing with all its weight onto it", proclaims Brock though we see that the goggles remained unharmed. As they try to treat Dragonite, Crystal wonders and worries about Aerodactyl. She sees that it has recovered from the crash alright, at least a bit better off than Dragonite and goes to fly around the place a little more.

"Get out there, Victreebel!", shouts James and Victreebel screams and comes out to once again to attack James and suck on his head. Thus, James desperately whimpers, "This isn't even funny anymoore!" Once Victreebel does get off James, he makes it use razor leaf which Ledyba avoids with its elusive quickness. "Your Ledyba is impressive, Janelle", compliments Misty smiling at Janelle. "Yeah, I'm not a trophy girlfriend, you know!", responds Brock's boo. Misty then responds with a smile, "Mm hmm. Togetic, tackle attack!", and Togetic tackles Delibird as well as the happy Buddha-faced Meowth balloon shaking up TR. "Victreebel, quick! Use stun spore", commands James and his Victreebel emits a cloud of the paralyzing substance clouding over Ledyba and Togetic. This leads Misty to gasp, "Togetic is in trouble. Ledyba too!" "RRRRRROOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!", roars Aerodactyl going nuts again and hyper beaming like there's no tomorrow. Aerodactyl then looks up and notices TR's balloon and then sets it sights on it to make them its latest victims. It growls and then takes off at TR whom eventually turns around to see Aerodactyl flying straight at them. "Daaaah! We got a huge problem da utha way", says Meowth tipping off J & J to see Aerodactyl come just in time to bust their balloon and send them all flying away, including Delibird.

As they're soaring away in their balloon, James searches for answers to the latest failure wondering, "Ohhh, where did we go wrong this time??" "Let's try.... everywhere!", replies Meowth.

"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off agaaaaaaaain!", followed by a faint, "Delibirdiiiiiiiiiiii!"

With TR gone, Aerodactyl resumes its homicidal rampage of Pewter City annihilating buildings and other property during the night. Crystal points out that Aerodactyl is angry again and Brock fears that it's even angrier than before. So they all race around the block led by Crystal as they see Aerodactyl, and then Aerodactyl sees her. Thus, the vengeful beast swoops down upon her as she leaves Misty to tend to the still shaken Sandshrew. "Aerodactyl, please listen, I wasn't trying to have Team Rocket capture you, I'm not...", shouts Crystal but the Aerodactyl is so pent up with helldeath rage that it doesn't listen and flies right into Crystal knocking her down to the horror of everybody watching. "Crystal!", gasps Misty as Crystal struggles to look up at Aerodactyl from the ground begging it to please stop. "Pika... Pikachuuu!", shouts an enraged Pikachu who then tries to defend its master despite the objections of her. "Pi-KAAAAH-CHUUUUUU!", shouts Pikachu trying to shock Aerodactyl but to their horror, Aerodactyl flies around the bolts of energy and gets both Pikachu and Crystal on this go-around. "This is not good, Cris is getting really hurt!", fears Justin.

"Aerodactyl...", says Crystal faintly as she looks up from the ground and...... EWWWW! She's got bruises and bloody cuts all over her from the spills to the concrete. And poor widdle Pikachu doesn't look quite so bad, but it's not looking like the cover model it's been for so long either. "It's coming right for her again", shouts Janelle so Brock goes to have Onix block Aerodactyl. "GA-ROOOOOOOAARR!", ga-roar's Onix as it initially slams into Aerodactyl cutting it off. But when Aerodactyl regains itself, it's so hell bent on getting to Cris-tal that it flies around Onix's efforts to cut it off and tries to nab Crystal and Pikachu once more. "Saaaashreeewwwww!", shouts Sandshrew fearing for its master as Crystal fears, "Oh noooo." So Crystal braces itself holding onto Pikachu as the others look on in hopelessness..... when all of a sudden.....

"CUUUUUUUUNE!", shouts a mysterious yet familiar voice which comes out of the shadows of the city blocks to reveal Suicune which takes down Aerodactyl saving Crystal's potheaded existance....... again!! "HUH?!", huh's Misty and Justin as the Brock family can't believe that it's actually the legendary Suicune. "That's Suicune!", shouts Brock as Crystal slowly swoons, "Whoooaa.... not again." "Suicune's been following Crystal and us for some reason ever since we came back from the states", Misty tells them. "That's odd, why would such a legendary pokemon like Suicune be following around a young group of travelers like you?", wonders Flint. "I... don't know", shrugs Justin while we see Aerodactyl try to hyper beam Suicune away but Suicune blocks it entirely with what looks like a light screen. "Amazing... Suicune was able to stop the entire hyper beam", notes Crystal as Pikachu lies on her shoulder adding weakly, "Pikah piii."

Suicune then unleashes a mad powerful gust of wind at Aerodactyl which the carnage hungry beast tries to fly in the face of but eventually it gets to be too much for even it to handle and it gets pushed back into a brick building wall. "RRRAAAAAAAAARRRGGH", roars Aerodactyl with its mouth wide open and teeth extended like a bear trap, only more lethal. Suicune then looks ready to finish off the tired Aerodactyl until surprisingly, Crystal tells it to hold on a second sparing Aerodactyl obviously indicating that Cris-tal must have some kind of beastial feeling for the gargantuan beast that has kicked her ass. She stares at Aerodactyl for a long dramatic pause as Aerodactyl murderously stares back at her and Pikachu with a weary Sandshrew looking on helplessly. "Aerodactyl...... we're sorry", she mutters somberly as Pikachu curiously looks up at her. Crystal looks down as she gets all snivel-y and then... a tear actually drops from her eyes as she feels bad for this poor, enraged pokemon disturbed by the recent city sprawl.

She must have skipped her anti-depressant medication today...

But anyway, everyone from Misty to Brock to Suicune to most importantly, Aerodactyl, see this and look on with the utmost suspense. So what does Aerodactyl do now?? Well, it begin to slowly flap into the air before it gives Crystal another look as it grrr's menacingly. "Ahhhhhh", sighs Crystal in a public spacing out session with Pikachu right in front of everyone... Flint's reaction is also pretty trippy as he even lets out a stoned laughter. All of a sudden, a piece of a structurally damaged building breaks apart and is headed to fall onto Crystal and Pikachu in a classic test of does the huge insane kickass pokemon truly get a change of heart. "Oh no! That piece of scaffolding is coming down!", alertly points out Brock. Too roughed up to move enough from the 10 foot wide chunk of stone, Crystal and Pikachu look totally doomed.

But lo and behold! All of a sudden, the giant slab of stone is blocked by the wing of Aerodactyl who then uses what little strength it has left to fling the stone away.... and into a couple of tables outside a local Starbucks totally mangling them before denting one of the window panes. "Aerodactyl...", notices Crystal wiping her tear aside as she brightly laughs, "ha ha haa, you do care!" "RRRRAAAAAAARRRRGGHH!", roars a slightly friendlier Aerodactyl as it then fully extends its wings, looks up, and roars in Triple H fashion. "It looks like Aerodactyl figured out that Crystal is not its enemy", says Misty as Aerodactyl flies away and around the city after saving the crazy young lady that gave it some good entertainment the past hour or so. "Thank goodness", adds Justin as Sandshrew also feels relieved.

"Thank you, Aerodactyl", remarks Crystal to herself. "Pikachuuu", adds Pikachu when it notes something that Crystal currently isn't looking at because she's fixed on Aerodactyl in the night sky... the fact that Suicune is taking off again so Pikachu shouts, "PI-KAAH!" So Crystal sees what Pikachu is pointing at and sees Suicune leaving as it turns the corner off in the distance making her yell to try and stop it even though its a mile away at this point. "Suicune, wait! Wh-why?", she begins to yell before giving up hope on Suicune for now. "I guess Suicune really is trailing us for some reason", figures Justin as Crystal takes Sandshrew off of Misty's hands. But then the twerps get a brilliant light show and sign from Suicune with the appearance of the northern light showing up.... IN PEWTER CITY! "Look at that", says Janelle as gazing at the appealing natural phenomenon draws her all the more closer and tighter to her bf Brock. "That's amazing", comments Justin as Crystal agrees especially with Aerodactyl flying around peacefully around the sky along with it not destroying anything anymore, not to mention the smoke caused by the prior destruction caused by the killdeath rampage of Aerodactyl.

At this point, a cop car stops after careening around the block as Officer Jenny gets out in all her wisdom and tries to have them get inside because of the danger. But she cuts herself off and apologizes to Brock not realizing that the person she spotted outside was the city gym leader, his cohorts, and his female obsesser. She then inquires if they've been able to do anything about Aerodactyl since she was so busy warning everyone...... over and over... and for all we know, was probably hiding underground like everyone else. "I think Aerodactyl is going to be okay, Officer Jenny", Brock tells her. Flint adds, "It's just a shame that we weren't more sensitive about how we handled the construction and dug into that fossil cave. We just have to be a lot more careful from now on about how we as civilization expand, because we may be invading the habitat of others like Aerodactyl. We were fortunate this time that our city wasn't damaged more than it was." "I think we owe our thanks in much part to Crystal", comments Janelle. "So you're the one that helped us, on behalf of the city, we owe you a great deal of thanks. But are you going to be alright?", Officer Jenny tells her. "The pain was worth it to get through to a pokemon", comments Crystal. "Saaashrew shrew", adds Sandshrew as they all watch Aerodactyl fly majestically around the night skyline and survey the ass-whooping it inflicted upon the city.

They then witness Aerodactyl fly away from their view leaving them to wonder where Aerodactyl is headed now. "I think it's flying away to try and find a place where it won't be disturbed for another epoch", says Brock. "I can only hope so", adds Crystal as we hear Officer Jenny radio to some partner of hers, like other Officer Jenny's, to follow Aerodactyl. The twerps are initially worried but Officer Jenny assures them that she told them and so they can track it to where it flies off to, and to make sure it's not hurt by anyone. "That's good", remarks Justin as he then wonders about how the city is going to deal with the damage. Flint tells them, "It's not going to be easy or quick, but with the hard work and dedication of our neighbors around us. I know the city will rebuild just like we originally intended it to." "... just like how Aerodactyl was able to recover its emotions after it was rudely awakened", finishes Brock making the protagonists nod as we watch Aerodactyl as it flies through the stars.

Later on that night, we catch up with TR and Delibird battered and beaten from said Aerodactyl. They actually end up right near the cave they stumbled into which doesn't really turn out to be a bad thing... especially for little ol' Meowth. "Well, once again Team Rocket comes up empty... no Aerodactyl", mopes Jessie. "No Pikachu", mopes James. "No Sandshrew", mopes Meowth. "...and a huge insurmountable debt", finishes Jessie as Delibird reacts crying out in reference to itself. Meowth then snivels, "All dat we's left wit' is dis little pebble, only a fraction of da value en charm of my special statue.... huh?" Meowth then sees a golden ear sticking out from the ground under the rock he picked up making him all ecstatic and gleeful. "Daaah! Dere it is... everyone help me get it out", shouts Meowth as Jessie, James, and Delibird all assist is excavating it from the cave.

"At last... I tought I'd never see dis beauteeful ting evuh uhgain, but now I's found ya again en you'll be my treasha fuhever", says Meowth with a loving tone for the golden statue. And so Meowth holds it up so he can see it reflect in the moonlight. But suddenly, the precious statue is snatched by Delibird who then puts it in its repossession sack to help make up for TR's debt. "EY!! Whaddaya tink ya doin', ya nickel-headed boidbrain?!?!", shouts an infuriated and horrified Meowth. "Delibirdiiiiiii!", replies Delibird outraging Meowth making him shout that the statue is special and not to help repay the debt and that it oughta rip off its beak so that it would look like an abominable flyin' snowman. But Jessie and James restrained the infuriated kitty with James telling him kindly to, "Let it go, Meowth. It's alright", and then pats his back. "It's with the boss now", Jessie tells him softly. After a sniffle, Meowth echoes out, "NOOOOOOOOOO!", before looking up at the departing statue and Delibird and saying, "Please take care uh my statue, Deliboid!" "Delibirdiiiii!", shouts Delibird as it departs from TR with the debt repaid, however TR managed to pull it off, however painful it was for poor Meowth to endure the loss of a loved one <weep>.

Take care, Delibird.

<cue commercial> Who's that pokemon?? (Meowth is always jealous of this object of Giovanni's affection.)

It's Persian!! ................................... "Prrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

With the fallout from Delibird and the commercial out of the way, we now get to the part that you've all been waiting for. The part where the lives of the twerps get changed....... FOREVER!!

Aerodactyl flies away leaving the northern lights in the skies of Pewter City still reeling from the damage inflicted by the pissed off carnivore. "Oh Brock, those lights are so magical..... just like the way I found you and my life changed before I even knew it. And once again, our love has survived a tough test of a savage pokemon but we risked our lives and survived the way I always knew we would.... together with you, my sweeter than a Hershey's kiss baby", Janelle tells him lovingly. Brock then replies with his face totally blushing like the way it always did when he saw an Officer Jenny or a Nurse Joy, "Uuunnnnggghhh-hoooooo! But certainly not at sweet as an actual kiss from you." And then after a brief pause, their faces get together and.... OH NO, they're KISSING!! Hide the women and especially the children that supposedly make up the entire viewing audience of the show... well that's it.... the series is dead!

.................. tuh-huh... yeah right!

Reaction to this by the twerps is surprisingly positive as Cris-tal's emotional medication gets the better of her as she emotionally sighs, "Awww... they're such a cute couple. Hopefully I'll find a nice man like that one day." "Piii pikaaah", adds Pikachu condoning her feelings as it sits on Crystal's left shoulder... Sandshrew is on the right one. "I hope things go well between them", adds Misty with a smile knowing that at the very least, Brock is happy, even if she's only left with Justin the pimp, "But do you think Brock's a little too infatuated with Janelle to think straight?" Justin reassures her, "Hey Misty, I admit Brock is the biggest fool for love that even I have ever seen. But Brock is still a fairly smart guy with lots of great qualities, like being a good trainer and breeder *snicker* and a great housekeeper and cook. I highly doubt that Brock would do anything brash." "Yeah, you're right", figures Misty as they must not have learned (even after all this time) how brash Brock can be when it comes to women.

This is it.... THE BIG LIFE CHANGING MOMENT! Eeeeeeeeeee!!

Brock addresses her rushing out of love and with a higher pitched voice out of nervously, "Ohhhh-huh-huh-hhoooo, Janelle, not even the soft gentle touch and care of Nurse Joy nor the sheer physical beauty and toughness of an Officer Jenny has even meant more to me than your caring, sweet, and beautiful, yet tough and unwavering presence. You're impact on me has lit up my life more than all the fourth of July fireworks ever combined. And so, with this marvelous sky as the backdrop for addressing you, my marvelous girlfriend, you've really done it to me!" This makes everyone around the two of them gasp as Brock snivels and drops to one knee saying, "Janelle, there's no doubt. You are the one! And so I ask you this question as I extend not just this treasure, but also my whole heart", as he takes out a small jewelry box with a ring inside.

.....................................

.....................................

.....................................

.....................................

.....................................

.....................................

"JANELLE.... WILL YOU MARRY ME?!?"

......................

......................

...................... just for the record, I'll say it for ya.... GOD DAAAAAAYYYMN!

The threesome drops their jaws simultaneously out of instant shock along with Pikachu and Sandshrew... and Brock's dad is quite astonished as well. "Unbelievable!", gapes Crystal as Sandshrew also echoes out in shock looking back at Pikachu. "Are you serious, Brock?", wonders Justin. "Are you really going to say 'yes', Janelle???", wonders Misty like she's just seen a ghost. Janelle, who also covers her mouth in surprise, takes a moment to let the moment settle in before giving equally rushed, high-pitched, and silly-looking response. "My Goood Brock, I can hardly believe it. But I guess I should have been expecting this day to come, after all, we love each other more anything I've ever seen two people love anyone. And why not? You are the cutest, most caring man in this universe that has enjoyed your company ever since you first rushed over to me for my cell phone number. But despite all of the charming things about you that I love, I still must admit... thaaat....", responds Janelle as she slows down and takes a gulp making Misty state, "Uhh ohhhh.", as if things are about to get gloomy.

"Thaaaaat... this beats everything that I've ever experienced with you in our six magical weeks together. <sniffs> Brock... YES! YES, I WILL MARRY YOU!!" And there you have it, it's official ladies and gentlemen, Janelle has just agreed to marry Brock!!!!!

Reaction ranges from the look of delight on the faces of Cris-tal and her own pokemon couple to Justin's giddyness to Misty's shock before humbly accepting it with a nod, a polite smile, and eyes closed. "Well, it looks like this victory has become a celebration. It looks like I'm going to have some planning to do." "OHH THANK YOU, JANELLE! THIS FEELS SO GOOD THAT I SWEAR I USUALLY ONLY FEEL THIS GIDDY IN MY DREAMS SO I SWEAR I THINK THIS IS YET ANOTHER ONE! AND YET EVEN STILL, I'VE NEVER FELT THIS GOOD OR THIS REAL IN ANY OF THEM! OHHHH GOD!", says Brock as he's crying Victoria Falls out of his eyes in emotional unbalance. Cris-tal also sniffles telling Brock, "Get yourself together, Brock, or you won't even make it to the wedding." "You're right, Crystal, thank you! I'm so grateful to the three of you for being here that I would like to make you two, Crystal and Misty, my maids of honor", Brock sniffles. "I would be privileged if you two were the maids of honor", Janelle tells them. Misty smiles with a glassy-eyed look and tells them, "We would love to be your maids of honor." "And Justin, I'd like to have you as the best man!", he tells the eldest threesome member. "With pleasure.... and don't worry, I won't let you down when the big day comes", assures Justin.

With all the feel good aura transpired, Crystal looks up one final time at the Northern Lights of Pewter City reminding her of Suicune. Thus, she thinks to herself with her bandaged face, "I hope I find you again, Suicune. Maybe we can meet under better circumstances and show me what your purpose is." Justin then interrupts her wondering if she's thought about a wedding gift for them yet, she responds that she's not sure yet but she reassures him that they'll get Brock and Janelle the best wedding present they can possibly buy.... with Prof. Oak's drug money. "I have the only gift I'll ever need from my sweet cutiepie boyfrien.... I mean, fiance!!", Janelle responds. "Oh Janelle, you're just too much", laughs and blushes Janelle as they squeeze each other tighter than two collegiate wrestlers. So with that settled, there's just one more question to ask regarding the Brock-Janelle relationship....

..... IT TOOK BROCK SIX WEEKS TO ASK HER TO MARRY HIM?? Poor Brock must've been drawn off his game, he usually asks chicks to marry him in the same episode he meets a girl that stays with him after 2 minutes! Oh well... water under the bridge now.

The next day, we arrive at the departure time where Brock and co. wave goodbye to the threesome, Sandshrew, and Pikachu so they can continue their journey. Justin has his pokemon around him since they watched the kiddies and Brock's crew is flanked by his siblings and his and Janelle's pokemon.... yep, all of 'em. "I'd like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. I've never felt happier in my life", Janelle expresses to them. "Pi pikaaaaah!", squeals Pikachu in approval as she and Brock hold hands. Flint then tells Cris-tal that she and her friends have really impressed them and can come back anytime they like. After all, Flint can never have too many cocaine dealers. "Thanks", replies Crystal as Brock suggests that before they head off to the next gym, that they check out good ol' Mt. Moon since it's loaded with rare pokemon making it a great pokemon trainer experience. "Sounds cool", replies Crystal as Sandshrew also expresses a vocal interest in it. "I have been waiting for a long time to check out Mount Moon. I'll look forward to it", adds Justin. "Alright... take care, Brock! See all of you at the wedding!", shouts Misty as they all shout back good-bye, particularly the kids waving to their special babysitter Justin and his pokemon helpers. And then we see the threesome walking off and saying goodbye to Brock's family and Pewter City as they walking on down the road again.

Well there you go... another happy ending! But unlike the other hundreds of happy endings this one will hold a special meaning to readers in the annals of Pokemon Cris-tal history. For there's one special reasoning that separates this happy ending from all those other, often pretty 'blah' endings.

..... This was not just any happy ending, this was Brock's happy ending! Hooray for Brock and see those two horny sonofaguns at their impending wedding!
