Pokemon Cardfighters Episode 2: The Invitation, by "KentaMarina" Finally, I started working on this part shortly after the first one was done, and I'm a "slow" typer, so please don't blame me if this thing gets done in about 1 week (The first one took 5 days to finish, along with my work in junior high) Anyway here's the major stuff that happened last episode (sorry if it's kind of a list or not): We meet this guy named Kenta and his friend Ash with their school life until one day, they challenge some Rocket Grunts and rescue this girl named Marina who likes Kenta (Wow, looks like love at first sight...hehe). We also meet Misty, the Cerulean City Gym Leader that used to be on Ash's gang (from "Pokemon, I Choose You!" to the episode where she leaves the group before Ash & Brock go to the land of Houen where they meet a new trainer, which joins their group. Yes...this is all from the new series which focuses on the new Pokemon Games, the Ruby and Sapphire Versions for the Game Boy Advance. Whoops... I told a spoiler! Sorry about that). Ash is taking lessons on how to play the Pokemon Trading Card Game from Kenta's grandfather, the late Grandmaster Rod, who died in a plan made by Team Rocket (you'll find out who did it later in the series) and just before he passes away, he gives Kenta his Legendary Dragonite deck and his mark that proves he is the Legendary Dragonite. Kenta swore that he will get back at Team Rocket. Will this happen? Find out... =============================================================== %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% =============================================================== New Characters: Name: Brock (then again, don't know his last name) Age: 20 Status: Gym Leader, Pewter City Originated from: Pewter City, Kanto Other Comments: Well, Brock fans, I finally include him in this series. He's still the same, always liking women (especially beautiful ones), and he still has his powerful party of Pokemon (Onix, Golem, Forretress and Crobat). Name: Matt (took it from the name selection list in Crystal Version, and I don't know his last name, sorry) Age: 12 Status: Trainer, has 7 Johto Badges Originated from: New Bark Town, Johto Other Comments: He's Kenta's little brother, who joins the group later on in this episode. Has real strong Pokemon. That's about it and oh, I forgot. There are "extra" characters here... =============================================================== %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% =============================================================== Episode 2: The Invitation ~:From the end of the previous episode:~ Kenta: (sobbing) He's gone, Mom. (looks at the back of his Grandfather's deck, then thinks) Team Rocket...I'm gonna get them if it's the LAST THING I DO!! ~:Next day at school:~ Ash: Hey, Kenta! (sees Kenta in anger) What? Is there something wrong? (Kenta throws a newspaper at Ash. Ash catches it) Ash: (reading front page) Grandmaster Rod passes away?!?!? But...oh, I'm sorry, Kenta. Kenta: That's okay (Marina & Misty walks up to them. Hmm...best friends, ya think?) Marina: Hey Kenta! Why the long face? Ash: Here, you might find this interesting. (Gives Marina the newspaper that Kenta handed him) Marina: (reading front page) WHAT?!?!?!? HE DIED? (Kenta nods) Misty: Who do you think did it? Kenta: Grampa said it was Team Rocket ~:Flashback from previous episode:~ Kenta: GRAMPA, WHO DID THIS? Grandmaster Rod: (coughing) Team...Rock..et Kenta: WHAT?!?!? ~:Flashback ends:~ Ash: Hey Kenta, since it's Team Rocket, do you think it was those Grunts we battled? ~:Flashback again:~ Grunt 1: I'll get back at you someday, mark my words! ~:Flashback ends:~ Kenta: You think... Ash: I'm not so sure about it, but must be. Teacher: (walking up to Kenta) Hey Kenta, looks like this mail was delivered here instead to your home. How come? Kenta: I don't know (The teacher hands Kenta the package. Kenta opens it) Kenta: What on earth is this? Ash: Looks like some Pokemon cards and a note Kenta: (picking up the note and reading it) Hmm...an invitation to Duel City. Hey, there's a picture of it. (The island has a big "R" in the center) Misty: Hey, I remember that symbol! Ash: Me too, it's from Team Rocket Kenta: Finally I can get my revenge against them Teacher: Um...the boat leaves the day before the finals Kenta, Ash, Marina & Misty: OH NO! Kenta: Oh no, what should we do? Teacher: I have an idea, follow me. ~:Inside one of the classrooms:~ Teacher: (searching through files) Your report cards have got to be here somewhere... hey, I found it! Hmm...whoa, high grades! Looks like I have to write an exemption form to the principal for you guys. Misty: Wow, thanks a lot sir! Teacher: You're welcome guys. Besides, I used to play the Trading Card Game. Kenta: What?!? You did? Teacher: Yeah, I was in this same tournament, but I was eliminated by this mysterious person who is nicknamed "The Legendary Mewtwo." Kenta: My Grampa told me about that person, he or she was a great cardfighter. Sir, is there still anything "permanent" in the rules? Teacher: Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, they're still using the holographic arenas for battles. Marina: Holographic? For what reason? Kenta: Maybe they want it to become realistic, like a Pokemon Battle Teacher: Exactly, Kenta. Now, off you go, and good luck on your tournament. Ash: Thank you, sir ~:Ash's house:~ Kenta: Thanks for letting us stay here, Ash Ash: No problem Kenta. Hey, (surprised) Brock! Brock: Hey Ash! Long time, no see! Hey, isn't that Kenta with you? Ash: Yep Brock: So, Kenta. Are you ready for the rematch you promised? ~:Flashback to Pewter City:~ Brock: You were great! You really should earn this Badge Kenta: Thanks! If I meet you again, let's have a rematch. Brock: You got that ~:Flashback ends:~ Ash: Hello? Kenta? Are you there? Kenta: (surprised) Oh yeah, I remember that. Well Brock, I challenge you Brock: 3 on 3? Kenta: Fine with me! (hey, that rhymes! :) Brock: Great! We'll do it after I'm done cleaning Ash: Cleaning what? Brock: The whole house! Kenta & Ash: WHAT?!? (After about 2 hours) ~:Outside Ash's house:~ Brock: Ready? Kenta: Oh yeah! Go, Charizard! Brock: I choose Crobat! Kenta: Charizard, start off with a Flamethrower attack! Brock: Crobat, Confuse Ray! (They both hit each other) Kenta: Oh no, Charizard's Confused! Brock: And Crobat's Burned! Kenta: Charizard, try to use a Wing Attack! Brock: Crobat, use your Wing Attack too! (Crobat hits Charizard) Kenta: Charizard, hang in there! Brock: I got you now! Crobat, finish it with your Hyper Beam! Kenta: HYPER BEAM?!? (At that moment, Charizard is free of Confusion) Kenta: Charizard, hurry up and use Fly! Brock: Oh no! (Crobat's attack misses as Charizard Flies up) Kenta: Swoop in for the hit! (Charizard faints Crobat) Kenta: Alright! Brock: Nice one. Crobat, you deserve a good rest. Go, Golem! Kenta: Charizard, return! Ampharos, I choose you! Brock: Are you kidding me? Electric-Type attacks won't work against Ground- Types! Kenta: That's where you're wrong, Brock! Brock: What the hell are you talking about? Kenta: I'm not gonna use Electric-Type attacks. Brock: You've gotta be kidding me Kenta: Oh yeah? Then Ampharos, use your Dynamicpunch attack!! Ash: DYNAMICPUNCH?? Kenta: Technical Machine, Ash. Brock: But, I've got something up my sleeve too. Golem, Dynamicpunch! (Their knuckles meet at the same time) Kenta: Grr... Ampharos, do anything you can to stop him! Brock: Just a little more, Golem! (Golem's attack knocks out Ampharos) Kenta: Ampharos, you did well. Return! Go, Typhlosion! Brock: Golem, Earthquake! Kenta: Typhlosion, get out of the way and counter with Flame Wheel!!! (Typhlosion jumps out of the way) Brock: Golem, try Rock Slide! (Typhlosion fires it's attack but is stopped by Golem's Rock Slide) Brock: Close one! Kenta: It's not yet over! Typhlosion, Quick Attack! Ash: Quick Attack? Kenta: I let that move stay when Quilava learned it Brock: Good one, I should say. (Typhlosion knocks down Golem) Brock: Golem, return! Go, Onix!! Kenta: Hit it quick with a Flamethrower! Brock: Onix, Dig! (Typhlosion instantly hits Onix) Brock: No, Onix is Burned! Kenta: (grinning) Looks like your Onix wasn't fast enough for my Typhlosion. Brock: Grr...Onix, attack Typhlosion! Kenta: Typhlosion, Agility! (Onix misses and Typhlosion jumps just in time to avoid the attack) Kenta: Typhlosion, Earthquake! Brock: NO! (Onix faints) Kenta: Alright! Another victory! Brock: Good match, Kenta. Kenta: Thanks, Brock Mrs. Ketchum: Alright guys, it's supper time! ~:Dining Room:~ (Kenta and Ash are eating like there's no tomorrow, and the others are just watching them go) Ash: (muffled) This stuff's good! Kenta: (muffled) Who cooked this? It's very good! Marina, Misty, Mrs. Ketchum and Kenta's Mom: We did! Kenta & Ash: (muffled) Thanks!! (After an hour and a half) Ash: Man, I'm full! Kenta: Me too, but it was good! Ash: Yeah. Hey, according to my TV guide, there's supposed to be a lesson in cards on channel 65! Kenta: Well then get the remote! (Ash turns on the TV and tunes in to channel 65) Ash: Hey, I never learned this one before. It's about different Trainer Cards! Kenta: Hey, I don't know this either, but I have to know it before the tournament! Ash: Looks like they're called Trap Cards Kenta: Hmm...I wonder if there are any in Grampa's deck. Oh well, I'll check tommorrow. (After 1 hour) Kenta: (still taking notes) Well, I guess that's it. Ash: Now we can get some sleep. ~:The Next Day:~ Ash: Hey Kenta, I made my own deck already. Want to have a practice match? Kenta: Sure thing (After 5 minutes) Ash: Ack! I'm losing! Kenta: (sighs) Charizard, Fire Spin, and I win. Ash: (drops his head) I need more practice! Kenta: You sure do need it, Ash. Mind if I see your deck? Ash: Sure (Ash hands Kenta his deck) Kenta: Hmm...(browsing through the deck) It doesn't look so good, mind if I change it? Ash: Sure, thanks. Kenta: Looks like I have to add some of my own cards, do you mind if I change the whole deck, Ash? Ash: Sure, Kenta (After about 5 minutes) Kenta: Whew! Finally, I'm done. Here Ash. You might find some powerful cards in your deck now. Ash: Thanks Kenta. (browsing through deck) Hey, a Charizard! Kenta: I got 15 of those in my spare cards Ash: WHAT? Kenta: And 15 Blastoise cards, 15 Venusaur cards, 15 of all the strongest cards!! Ash: Where did you get those cards? Kenta: Easy, from booster packs. Ash: But how did you manage to get the rare cards? Kenta: Oh, it's a bit strange, but I always get 1 rare card in every booster pack I got! Ash: Oh, I see. How much is one? Kenta: Oh, around $15.00 Ash: $15?!? Kenta: Pretty expensive I should say, but it's worth it! (dismissal time) Ash: Well, see you on the boat tomorrow Kenta: I'm sure I'll be there. (thinking) After all, I need to avenge Grampa's death by Team Rocket. ~:Vermillion City Port:~ Kenta: (looking at his PokeGear) Where on earth is Ash? He's gonna be late! Marina: (walking up to Kenta) Hey Kenta. Say, where's Ash and Misty? Kenta: Misty's coming? Marina: Yeah along with me Kenta: (thinking) Oh yeah...I mean, what the hell? (aloud) Hold on, I'll try to call them. (Kenta looks up Ash's number, then "dials.") Kenta: (phone ringing) Come on, Ash! Ash: (turns on PokeGear) Hey Kenta! What's up? Kenta: WHAT'S UP? THE BOAT IS LEAVING!!! Ash: WHAT? Oh no, I FORGOT ABOUT IT! Kenta: HURRY UP AND GET GOING! THE BOAT'S LEAVING IN AROUND 15 MINUTES!!! Ash: Okay, okay, I'm coming!! (turns off PokeGear) Misty: (running towards Kenta & Marina. panting) Hey...did I make..it? Marina: Yep, you did Misty: Where's Ash? Kenta: Oh, he'll be here in a minute or 2 P.A.: The S.S. Aqua will be leaving in 2 minutes. I repeat, the S.S. Aqua will be leaving in 2 minutes. Kenta: (sweatdrops) Oh no, hurry up Ash! (a Pidgeot swoops in) Misty: Finally! Ash: (panting) Let's..go! Misty: Ash, you had me worried that time Ash: I did? Kenta: Never mind that, let's go!
