Episode 107: The Kangaskhan kid!

“Seriously, Ash! How could you be so careless! What if someone had seen?” Pika-chan scolded.

“But nobody saw me meld the Rapidash card w/Rapidash.”

“Still! It was dangerous! And you already changed Persian. When are you going to learn not to drain yourself?”

“Um, never?”

Pika-chan threw her paws up in exasperation.

“Are you hurt?” Lance asked, as she looked him over. Ash shook his head.

“Just making sure…”

Pika-chan tossed Ash a Full Restore. “Here. And you’d better drink all of it.”

Ash nodded and sipped the healing drink.

“Where to next?” Teresa asked. Her Kangaskhan snorted as it walked along slowly, besides Ash’s dancing Rapidash.

“Not sure.”

Lance took Ash’s map from him. “Well, actually, we’re quite close to the Safari Zone.”

“I’ve never been there before.” Ash said. “What is it?”

“If you pay $500, you can catch all the pokemon you want in the park.”

“Sounds good to me!” Ash said, smiling. “Teresa?”

“Sure! I can take lots of pokemon pictures!” Teresa said. “Let’s go!”

Ash nudged Rapidash. “Maybe we can get there before nightfall!”

Maybe! I’ll run like the wind! Rapidash replied.

“You’re doing just fine, girl.” Ash said reassuringly.

“Snacks, anyone?” Pika-chan asked.

“Pika-chan! Are those my cinnamon crispies?”

“Yep!”

“Those were a present from Charlotte!”

“No, they were for me from Vulpix-chan!” Pika-chan said defensively. “And I intend to eat them!”

Ash sighed. “Fine, but if you turn out to be a fat pikachu tomorrow, it’s not my fault.”

“I am not fat! I am lean and mean!”

“Whatever you say, Pika-chan…”

Lance handed Pika-chan a candy bar. “Come on, Pika-chan, lay off on stealing Ash’s sweets!”

“Fine.” Pika-chan said, as she bit into the chocolate bar. “Ooh! It has hazelnuts in it! Yummy!” She dropped the package of cinnamon crispies, to Ash’s relief.

“Thanks, Crystal. You really know how to handle Pika-chan.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. Let’s keep riding.” Lance grinned as she wound her arms around Ash, since she was sitting behind him on Rapidash.

Teresa ground her teeth quietly.

After a while, they reached a slightly forested area teaming with wild pokemon.

“Wow…” Lance said. “Maybe I can catch some more pokemon.”

“Good luck, Crystal!”

“Thanks, Ash!”

“Charmander, go!”

Charmander popped out and looked around. Great! Let’s see if we can find some more pokemon!

“Right!” Lance said. “Look! It’s a Chansey!”

Charmander growled and prepared to let loose a flamethrower attack. Just then, the ‘Chansey’ stood up – revealing that it was actually Officer Jenny!
“Stop right there, you poachers!”

“What? Isn’t this the Safari Zone?” Ash asked.

“No, this is a pokemon reserve.” Jenny said. “It’s another few day’s walk to the Safari Zone.”

“Oh…” Ash said, disappointed.

“Come with me. I’m taking you into custody.”

Teresa gulped.

“Well, since you had no clue you were committing a crime, I suppose I forgive you.” Officer Jenny said. Just then, her map lit up. “What? Poachers?”

“We’ll come with you to help.” Ash said.

“Okay.” Jenny said. They jumped into the jeep and started off.

Meanwhile…

“Look at all those Kangaskhan.” Jake said, as they reeled the net in. “This is great!”

We’ll be rich in no time! Ninetails added.

“Of course! Now, which one should I catch first?” Amy asked as she threw a poke ball. “Our luck is changing for once!”

Just then, a wooden boomerang sailed in and knocked the poke ball from her hands, before spinning back and cutting through the ropes that bound the Kangaskhans. The kangaskhans immediately attacked TR and sent them flying.

“Wow…” Teresa said as she took some pictures. “Who is he?”

“That’s Tommo.” Jenny said. (Seriously, I can’t remember what his English name is, so I translated from Chinese! I’m sorry!)

Just then, a helicopter landed and two people tumbled out.

“Hi! We’re looking for our son Tommy who was lost here five years ago.”

One long, tear-filled explanation later…

“Oh! You mean Tommo?” Jenny asked, holding up a photo. “He’s in the Safari Zone directory. We can find him in no time at all.”

“Oh, thank you!” The dad said.

“I’ll arrange for a means of travel…”

Fifteen minutes later, the parents are perched on a very ornery Rapidash card, Ash and Lance are riding Rapidash, and Teresa is riding her Kangaskhan as they set out to find Tommy.

“Look! It’s a baby Kangaskhan!” Pika-chan said.

“And it’s hurt too.” Ash said, as he jumped off Rapidash and hurried towards it, followed by Lance and Teresa.

Ash quickly pulled out a Super Potion and started spraying the baby Kangaskhan with it. Suddenly, a boomerang flew out of nowhere and hit him upside the head.

The same boomerang then hit Lance in the back of the head and clipped Teresa on the ear. Tommo jumped down from a tree.

“Don’t hurt Kangaskhan!”

Lance stood up angrily. “Ash is trying to help the baby!” She said angrily. Her eyes flashed blue and a wave of ice rose from the ground, trapping Tommo inside.

Tommo squirmed, but was unable to get free.

“Oh, my poor baby!”

And so, by knocking Tommy upside the head with a stick of ice and then reviving him, Tommy was able to regain his memories of his parents.

“Mommy! Daddy!” Tommy said happily.

“Oh my dear baby!” Tommy’s mom said, getting all mushy as she fawned over her baby boy.

Ash made a face in the background, but nobody saw. The baby Kangaskhan purred, now that it was no longer hurt.

Just then, Jenny came up in her jeep. “There are more poachers trying to capture the Kangaskhan!”

“What?” Tommy asked, and without further ado, he went swinging through the treetops, trying to find them.

The others got into the jeep.

“This time we’ve got them!” Amy said, satisfied, as she drenched the Kangaskhan with a massive dose of Sleep Powder.

“I totally agree.” Jake said. * And the twerp’s not here to mess up our plans either. *

That’s right! Ninetails said, growling.

Of course, just then, Tommy arrived on the scene.

“I stand for the Kangaskhan!” He yelled as he hurled his boomerang at the armored Kangaskhan robot. But of course, the flimsy wooden weapon simply bounced off, dealing no damage.

“What?”
“Hahaha, you’re way out of your league now, little boy!” Amy said triumphantly.

“But I’m not!” Ash said, as he and the others arrived in the jeep.

“Oh? And what are you going to do?” Amy asked. “This robot is fire-proof, electric-proof, and water and leaf attacks won’t even dent it!”

“You mean grass.” Ash murmured in an undertone. “But how about an all-out assault?”

The rockets blinked as Ash drew a card out of his pocket. There was a flash of white light and a pokemon appeared.

“Nidoqueen, I choose you! Use Body Slam!” Nidoqueen obligingly rammed into the Robot, sending metal chunks flying every which way.

“Argh!” Jake said, as he tried to move the Kangaskhan away, but Nidoqueen just kept hitting it over and over. Finally, a combination Ice Punch and Thunderpunch attack finished off the robot, making it explode.

“LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET’S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!”

“Wow…” Tommy said. His parents arrived on seen and began fussing over him. After a heated discussion, they decided to stay in the Preserve with him.

So it was a happy group of travelers that continued on their way to the Safari Zone.

End Episode 107! *Sighs and wipes sweat from forehead* who knew writing took so much out of you? Anyways, please review and make phantomness very happy. Flames will be used to forge an entrance to the gates of time via the Time card, and you don’t want to know what I’ll do…

No me gusta Tommo… lil’ brat… oh well, at least I gave him a happy ending, against my wishes.
