Igma, Blackeyez, and Psycho</div> <div> Featuring Cullen Pittman!</div> <div> And the characters of the widely acclaimed series,</div> <div> The Incredible Poké-Odyessy!</div> <bR> <div> In the last episode, our heroes Ash, Misty, Brock, Josh, Matt, and Ian, joined by the Entities N. Igma, Blackeyez, and Psycho, and the fic writer Cullen Pittman, were teleported into the fic series known as The Incredible Poké-Odyessy! Let's join them now...</div> <div> In a bright flash of light, our heroes appeared in the world of The Incredible Poké-Odyessy...about fifty feet above the ground. Everyone looked down, got huge sweatdrops on their heads, and toppled to the ground. "AHHHHHH!!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!" they cried. But of course, they didn't die. First of all, I won't let that happen. Second, because they landed in a sea of very leafy trees.</div> <div> "Ugh," moaned Blackeyez, the iris-less Entity. "N. Igma, did you HAVE to teleport us up that high again?" "Sorry," replied N. Igma, the secretive hooded leader of the Entities, "I still haven't worked all the bugs out yet."</div> <div> "Plus, you landed us in the Tabasco Jungle!" cried Cullen Pittman, the author of the Incredible Poké-Odyessy. "My characters are all the way in Ketchupopolis!" The hyperactive Entity Psycho was also moaning in dismay. "Totally-pfft! unsthuper," he said, pausing to spit out some leaves.</div> <div> Nearby, the six main characters of the fic were busy figuring out where they were. "Where are we?" asked Brock, the girl-loving leader of Pewter City Gym. "I think Cullen said we're somewhere in the Tabasco Jungle," replied the music-loving Matt. "Wherever THAT is."</div> <div> "I thought Tabasco was a sauce," muttered Ian, the comic of the group. "It IS, stupid!" snapped Misty, an aspiring water-type trainer. "There's no reason to get snappy, Mist," said Ash, an amateur Pokémon trainer and professional idiot. "HEY!" he screamed at the writers. "Urgh! It's bad enough I got leaves in my hair!" grumbled Misty.</div> <div> "You have leaves in your hair?" inquired the self-conscious Josh. Normally, he would be cracking off insults at Misty, but he too busy whipping out his handheld mirror. "AGGGHHH!!! MY HAIR LOOKS HORRIBLE!!!" he screamed. "AAAAHHHH!!!" Josh started running around in circles screaming about his hair. He did this for a good five minutes until his ranting came to an abrupt halt courtesy of Misty and her wicked left hook.</div> <div> "That takes care of that," said Misty, blowing on her fist as she watched Josh, who was lying spread-eagled on the ground mumbling about merry-go-rounds. "Man, Josh cared about his hair more than Misty.and she's a GIRL!" said an amazed Brock. Ian whispered back, "No word yet on whether Misty's a girl or not. The scientists are still looking into it." "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!!!" screeched Misty as she whacked him over the head with her mallet.</div> <div> "WAIT A MINUTE!" cried Matt. "I just noticed that we're talking funny!" It took a moment for this fact to sink in. Then panic swept the clearing.</div> <div> "Why isn't my name before my lines with a colon?"</div> <div> "Why don't we even have lines?"</div> <div> "What are these little thingies before and after my sentences?"</div> <div> "They look like double apostrophes!"</div> <div> "Where's the narrator???"</div> <div> "ALL OF YOU CALM DOWN!!!" yelled N. Igma in his deep, scary voice. Instantly the clearing was much quieter.</div> <div> "This is how my stories are written," explained Cullen as he entered the clearing with the Entities. "With QUOTATION MARKS from a THIRD-PERSON point-of-view." Everyone looked confused. "I don't get it," said Brock. "Come on!" said Cullen impatiently. "Haven't you even heard of PARAGRAPHS??"</div> <div> "Nope," they replied.</div> <div> Cullen and the Entities fell over in stupidity. Actually, it's probably good that they did that, because they landed on Josh and Ian, waking them up. "Ack! Can't I get my wake-up jolt from coffee?" moaned Ian. "Like you need extra sugar," said Misty, rolling her eyes.</div> <div> "So, what're we doing now?" the ever-practical Matt asked. "Well, we were sthupposthed to meet the fic charactersth here," replied Psycho, lisping away, "but Cullen here sthaysth we're milesth and milesth away."</div> <div> "And Pokémon can't fly in this thick foliage," pointed out Blackeyez. "Maybe we should try to find the quickest way outta here without getting attacked by Victreebels," said Cullen. "Good idea!" replied N. Igma. "Us four will go start looking. You guys stay here." And with that, the authors left.</div> <div> "My hair still looks terrible," Josh moaned groggily. Then he spied a little pond with strange sparkly water. "Maybe I can wash my hair in that!" he said joyfully. "Cool, a pool!" said Misty, noticing Josh's reaction. "My Pokémon have been dying for a swim." "So have my Slowbro and new Marril," said Matt. "Let's go!"</div> <div> Misty released her Staryu, Starmie, Goldeen, Horsea, and Psyduck while Matt called out his two Water-types. "I say everyone should dive in at the same time," said Misty. "Sounds good," said Matt, as Marril and Slowbro lined up along the edge of the pond with Misty's Pokémon. "OK," said Misty, "on the count of five.</div> <div> "One...two...three...four...fi-"</div> <div> "WAIT!!!" screamed Josh.</div> <div> "WHAT??!!" Misty screamed back, very upset at Josh breaking her concentration.</div> <div> "I don't think you should go in that water."</div> <div> "Why not??"</div> <div> "Because I need to get my hair wet for my gel to set in!"</div> <div> Misty rolled her eyes and whacked Josh. "Geez, you scared me for a minute," she said. "I thought you were trying to warn us. Like the water had a curse or something. It's not like our Pokémon are going to SHRINK or anything! Now let me and Matt go first."</div> <div> "One...two...three...four...fi-"</div> <div> SPLASH!</div> <div> "ERGGHHH!!! THAT STUPID PIKACHU!" yelled Misty. "Ashy, your rat screwed up my dive!"</div> <div> "Pikachu, get out of there," moaned Ash. Reaching for his Pokéball, he cried, "Pidgeot, blow Pikachu dry with a light gust!" "PIDGAWWW!!" the majestic bird cried as it flapped its large wings, air-drying the electric mouse quickly and efficiently. "Now go find some berries or something," said Ash. Then he added quickly, "You know how testy Misty can get." "Pi-kaaa," Pikachu agreed, and it went into some nearby bushes. "Okay," said Misty, "if there's no more interruptions."</div> <div> "One...two...three...four...five!"</div> <div> "DON'T TOUCH THAT WATER!!!" yelled Cullen Pittman as he burst into the clearing.</div> <div> "EEEYAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!" Misty screeched at the top of her lungs. She jumped on top of Cullen and started punching him silly. Cullen reached for one of his Pokéballs. "This...better...work..." he croaked. Out of the Pokéball came... "OOOOO! A Vaporeon!" cooed Misty, and she immediately got off Cullen and started petting it. "A non-violent way to get rid of Misty!" Ian gasped in awe. Josh yelled, "Hey Cullen! How much for the Vaporeon?"</div> <div> "Very funny," replied Cullen. "Now, like I was saying-"</div> <div> "Hey, my Slowbro jumped in!" said Matt. "It must have processed Misty's command faster than Cullen's!" "Oh no!" cried Cullen. "Now Slowbro's going to..."</div> <div> But Cullen stopped dead, for Slowbro was glowing and shrinking at an alarming rate. And when it had finished. "It's Slowpoke again!" wailed Matt. "That's what I was trying to tell you," said Cullen, "that's why you don't get in the water. That's the legendary Fountain of Freshness. It devolves Pokémon and makes people younger."</div> <div> "Thank GOODNESS I didn't dunk my head in that fountain!" said Josh. "I might have been back to paper-thin baby-blond locks!" And he ran his fingers through his thick brown hair lovingly. Misty continued to pet Vaporeon and muttered, "He wouldn't have that far back to go if I dunked him in that fountain."</div> <div> "WAHHH!!! MY POOR SLOWBRO!" bawled Matt, and he immediately started crying anime flood tears while Slowpoke looked on. Though it was hard to tell if the dopey Pokémon understood what was going on with that vacant expression on his face.</div> <div> "But if Slowbro devolved after jumping in that water," Misty thought out loud, "that means..."</div> <div> "OH NO PIKACHU!!!!!!" Ash screamed. He ran into the bushes to find his electric friend. But he didn't find Pikachu. What he found was.</div> <div> "PICHU!" everyone cried at once. "It's so cute!" said Misty, and was immediately torn between petting Vaporeon and cuddling Pikachu.</div> <div> "Hey, Pikachu DID shrink!" said Brock. "Well, sort of." "HOW COULD THE WRITERS DO THIS TO ME???!!!" wailed Ash. Just then, the Entities appeared through the trees. "We heard someone whining about the writers," explained Blackeyez. "So naturally, we showed up to maim them."</div> <div> "Calm down Blackie," said Psycho, "it'sth justht Asth!"</div> <div> "Doesn't mean we can't still maim him," replied Blackeyez.</div> <div> "WHY'D YOU DEVOLVE PIKACHU???" Ash sobbed. "Don't look at usth, asthk him," replied Psycho, pointing through the monitor at me. "Now calm down, Ash," said N. Igma. "I'm sure you'll manage...besides, we found our way out of the jungle. Soon you'll be meeting what you might look like in six years, and I think you'll like the results..." N. Igma winked, which was odd to watch, considering his eyes were two glowing red spheres floating in the black nothingness of his hood. "Huh?" asked Ash, and he, Misty, and Brock looked at each other, wondering what they were like in this series.</div> <bR> <div> * * * * * *</div> <bR> <div> Soon, everyone had flown out of the jungle; Ash and Brock on Charizard, Misty on Starmie, Matt on Weezing, Josh and Ian on Pidgeot (which they had borrowed from Ash), and Cullen and the Entities on Dragonite (which Cullen had borrowed from Bill). "That was a LOT of Victreebels!" remarked Matt. "I thought Cullen was going to lead us past those monsters!" Misty whined. "Don't worry Mist," bragged Ash, "my Pokémon were able to beat them!" "CHAR!" "PIDGEAWW!" Charizard and Pidgeot bellowed in appreciation. "So I messed up," grumbled Cullen, "that jungle WAS seven episodes ago."</div> <div> "Could that big city be Ketchupopolis?" asked Brock, pointing at a multitude of buildings not far away. "Looks like it!" said Cullen. "Such great cities you make, Cullen!" complimented the Entities; secretly wishing they could make a world as great as Ryooku. "Those are some big buildings!" said Josh from the back of Pidgeot. "Yeah," grumbled Ian, who was dangling from the big bird's talons, "I just hope I don't get impaled on them!" "Oh come on!" snapped Josh. "You're not still mad that I got to ride on Pidgeot's back and enjoy the wonderful view, while you hang from his talons about a hundred feet above solid ground, are you?" "No, of course not," said Ian sarcastically, who disliked heights.</div> <div> Twenty minutes later, just after leaving Ketchupopolis airspace, our heroes spied a group of figures heading down the road away from the great city. "That must be them!" cried Cullen. "It's time to meet my characters!" Then Dragonite swooped down towards the group below. Charizard and the others followed.</div> <bR> <div> * * * * * *</div> <bR> <div> Today we find our heroes walking away from Ketchupopolis, on their way to the next Ryooku gym. But little do any of them suspect what a strange day this day will be.</div> <div> "I hope Mr. Stench keeps his promise," Ash remarked. "Yeah, and I still miss Togepi..." sighed Misty. "Like the Dratini who must wait around 50 levels to finally be fully evolved, these things take time to change and adjust," Reiko said wisely. "Good point, my radiant Reiko," said Cameron. "Where's the next gym, Tracey?"</div> <div> "It's in ________, which is a pretty long way from here," replied the sketcher. "I hope we find something to do along the way." "Don't we always?" said Misty dryly. "There's always some adventure that comes out of the blue..."</div> <div> At that moment, she looked up to see a boy and three guys in cloaks (one with scary eyes, one with crazy eyes, and one with black eyez...I mean eyes) hurtling towards them on a Dragonite.</div> <div> "AIIIIIEEEEE!!!" everyone screamed as they dived out of the way. The Dragonite swooped over their heads, then turned around and landed with an earth-shaking THOOM!</div> <div> "That wasth fun! Can we do it again?</div> <div> "Cullen, why'd you let this hyperactive moron drive???"</div> <div> "Sthut up, Blackeyezth!"</div> <div> "Seemed like a good idea at the time."</div> <div> "Forget it, Cullen. It's no problem. Let's just meet these guys."</div> <div> "Right Iggy."</div> <div> Everyone stood back up and saw the boy and cloaked guys standing there expectantly. "Hey wait a minute," said Cameron, "isn't that..."</div> <div> "THE AUTHOR???" cried the characters in disbelief. "That's right," said Cullen. "I'm Cullen Pittman, and....oops! I forgot! Hold on second!" Then the author-person clapped his hands twice, calling, "Come here, Brock!" At his words, Brock toppled from the sky and landed at everyone's feet. "Why's he here?" asked Tracey. "To make the crossover experience complete," replied Cullen. "Like I was saying before...these are my friends Blackeyez, N. Igma, and Psycho," said the author, pointing to each of the Entities in turn. "They're authors too." No one said anything until Reiko finally got brave and bowed to the nutty-looking cloaked guy. "A pleasure to meet you, Psycho-san."</div> <div> "How'd you know I wasth Psthycho?" he asked. "Just a...guess," said Reiko, smiling politely. "Well, you mustht be My Radiant Reiko," replied Psycho as he vigorously shook her hand. "Why'd you call me that?" said Reiko as she felt her arm being pulled out of its socket. "That'sth what he always callsth you!" said Psycho, pointing to Cameron who was blushing like a maniac. Reiko quickly told Psycho to call her plain Reiko, and muttered to herself, "Like a young Primeape in a boxing match, that Psycho is crazy!"</div> <div> "Please excuse him," said the black-eyed person quickly, "he hasn't taken his...medication."</div> <div> "I heard that, Blackeyezth!" yelled Psycho. "Please excuse BOTH of them," said the hooded guy, "I'm N. Igma. We write a different series from yours. We brought our characters here to meet you because we're HUGE fans and it's a great idea for a fic. Ah...here they come now!"</div> <div> Everyone looked up to see a Weezing and a Pidgeot descending from the sky. A boy wearing a dewrag jumped off the Weezing. There was also a boy on the Pidgeot, and one hanging from its talons. The boy on the Pidgeot immediately started combing his dark brown hair while the other dusted himself off, looking disgruntled. "Ladies and Gentlemen," boomed N. Igma, "in order of their appearance: our three fanfic characters Matt, Josh, and Ian." The three immediately realized they were being introduced and snapped to attention.</div> <div> "And now," N. Igma said once again, "here come three other faces I'm SURE you'll recognize..." At his words, a Charizard and Starmie landed on the ground, revealing their riders to be...</div> <div> "US!!!" screamed the older Ash, Misty, and Brock. "AHHH!! THEY LOOK LIKE US!" shrieked the younger Ash, Misty, and Brock. "Now calm down!" yelled N. Igma. "Guys, this is what you grew up to be in this series." "And this is what you were," Cullen added to his characters.</div> <div> "So, I become this good-looking, eh?" Misty asked her older self. "Heck yeah!" said IPO Misty. Then she whispered, "You'll have HIM following YOU around in no time!"</div> <div> "Hey!" said IPO Ash. "I remember you! You're me!" "Oh! Hi me!" replied Ash as he shook hands with his older self while both Mistys sighed. "Man, I look great!" said Brock to his future person. "Do I ever get a girlfriend?" he asked. "Better," replied IPO Brock, "you get married!" "ALL RIGHT!!!" cried Brock. "To who?? To who??"</div> <div> "To me," answered Stella, who had appeared out of nowhere and come to the older Brock's side. "Really?" said Brock. "I didn't know I was that STUPID!" "WHAT???" cried Stella and the IPO Brock at the same time. "I should have married the girl who ran the salon, or that Bulbasaur chick Melanie, or Cassandra who had that Paras..." Stella glared at IPO Brock with a huge vein popping out of her forehead. "Is this true...HONEY???" she snarled. IPO Brock looked very frightened that the vein on her forehead was going to lash out at him like a tentacle, and said quickly, "No, no, Stella, remember, this was back when I was younger...when I was immature and stupid...before I met you..."</div> <div> "But I met her!" said Brock. "And I-" But IPO Brock had covered his mouth. Then the older one continued, "I had never met someone with as much brains as of beauty, and so talented-"</div> <div> "ENOUGH!" yelled Stella. Both Brocks froze. "I am fully disgusted with your younger self's behavior, Brock..." said Stella. IPO Brock cringed. "...But I believe you." IPO Brock sighed with relief. "THANK YOU!!!" he screamed to the sky.</div> <div> While the anime trio met their future selves, the original characters of the entities met the original characters of Cullen. "So, you're Cameron Fusterman, the main man with the long name," said Ian. "It must be a pain to type that name so many times...I think that's why our names were made so short." Cameron sighed. "You don't have a choice when you come from Earth."</div> <div> "And this is the Reiko I've heard so much about!" replied Josh, ever the womanizer. He immediately started pacing around Reiko, examining her like a judge at a ice sculpture contest. "Mmm-hmm...yep, this is a nice piece of work you got here, Cam," he said. "Lucky guy. Wish I had a lady this good..."</div> <div> "If you are quite through looking at me like the Persian examining a Rattata it's just cornered, I'd like you to back off now!" snapped Reiko, who did not like being treated like a showpiece. "Or maybe you shall discover this Rattata's painful fangs," she added, drawing her katana. "Yeah," said Cameron with a grin, "she's also good to have on your back when you're set upon by Team Rocket, wild Pokémon, or obnoxious fanfic characters." "Heh heh heh...lucky guy indeed," gulped Josh, backing away from the razor-sharp steel.</div> <div> "Helloooooo!" called out Tracey. "Has anyone even noticed I'm here yet?" All six of the Entities' characters turned around. "AHHHHH!!!!! TRACEY'S BACK FROM THE DEAD AGAIN!!!!!" they screamed. "Guys!" yelled N. Igma, trying to restore order, "Tracey is not evil in this series!" "OHHHH!" said the six; climbing down the trees they were in. "I was evil?" asked a puzzled Tracey.</div> <div> "Now that we've met each other," said Blackeyez, "who votes we go on an adventure?" "My Slowbro devolved in the Fountain of Freshness!" moaned Matt. "AND MY POOR PIKACHU!!!" whined Ash as Pichu nibbled on his shirt. IPO Ash's Pikachu was very interested in this case. It hopped into the younger Ash's arms and cuddled Pichu. "AWWWWW," everyone said immediately. Then Pikachu and Pichu hopped onto the ground and walked together the rest of the fic. "I feel ya," said Cameron. "My Electabuzz fell into the Fountain, and now it's Elekid." "ELE!" acknowledged the sparkplug. "I know!" said Cameron, "why don't you get a King's Rock and evolve it into Slowking? They're smarter, faster, and have better special attacks."</div> <div> "Sounds good!" replied Matt. "Come to think of it, when I heard about Slowking, I almost wished Slowpoke hadn't've evolved! Now I get my chance!"</div> <div> "So, anyone know where to find King's Rocks?"</div> <div> "Actually, I do!" said Cullen. "There's a cave nearby with the stones in it. It's the fabled King's Cavern, an underground grotto and gold mine of King's Rocks!"</div> <div> "That place isn't on the map!" said Tracey, looking it over. "Not yet!" said Cullen. "I just invented it. Wait about two seconds," And sure enough, the King's Cavern magically appeared on Tracey's map. The Pokémon watcher did a double take when he saw it happen.</div> <div> "Well then, we're off to the cavern!" cried Ash. "Let's go!" he cried as he dashed away. IPO Ash moaned. "Misty, please don't tell me I used to be like that!" "Okay, I won't tell you," replied IPO Misty as she exchanged a wink with her younger self.</div> <bR> <div> * * * * * *</div> <bR> <div> Our heroes were walking along the path when they heard a ruckus in the bushes.</div> <div> "RATTAAA!!!"</div> <div> A Rattata ran out of the bushes, squealing as a furry Pokémon with a long body burst out of the foliage and continued pursuing it. "What is that?" wondered Cameron, whipping out Dextra. "FURRET: the long body Pokémon. There is no telling where its tail begins. Despite its short legs, it is quick at hunting RATTATA." "We've got to save it!" cried Matt. "Are you kidding?" said the Mistys. "Who cares about that filthy rat?"</div> <div> "Misty," said Ian, "if Furret eats Rattata, there'll be a grisly scene here..." "OKAY SAVE IT QUICK!!!" shrieked the Mistys. "I'm gonna catch it!" said Josh. I only have three Pokémon as of now, and I need more! Go Poliwhirl! Tackle it, quick!" "POLIWHIRRRRL!" cried the tadpole Pokémon as it leapt from its Pokéball into Furret. Furret wasn't hurt very bad, but it got the creature's attention. Furret watched helplessly as its prey escaped, and growled a low "FURRRRRRETTTT" at the Pokémon who had dared let it miss its lunch. Then it launched itself at Poliwhirl!</div> <div> "Whirl-man!" cried Josh as Poliwhirl was knocked back several feet. "That's a powerful Slam attack!" gasped Cameron. Poliwhirl got up, and it wasn't happy. "WHIRL!" it snarled. "Poliwhirl, Water Gun attack to soften it up a bit!" Poliwhirl shot water at the ferret Pokémon, damaging it considerably. "Now Hypnosis to bring it under!" Josh yelled in triumph. But as Poliwhirl shot hypnosis rays from its stomach, Furret got a bunch of weird question marks over its head. "It didn't work!" cried Josh. "Why???"</div> <div> "I know," said Matt. "That's Amnesia. I've seen it a lot with Slowbro," he sighed, missing his brainless buddy. "It raises defense against special attacks." "FURR!" screamed Furret at it started Fury Swiping Poliwhirl. "That does it," grumbled Josh, fire blazing in his eyes. "WHIRL!" Poliwhirl agreed, also with fire in its eyes. "Use your FLYING SUPER MEGA DOUBLE PUNCH!!!!!!"</div> <div> "Flying Super Mega Double Punch???" everyone asked in awe of the cumbersome and cheesy name. Furret Slammed Poliwhirl into a tree, but Poliwhirl pushed off with its feet, and launched at Furret with both fists extended. Poliwhirl smashed into its opponent, planting both fists into its stomach. The momentum carried both Pokémon into another tree, with the crunch of splintering wood. Poliwhirl back flipped back to the ground, panting heavily, while Furret, lying against the tree, was most certainly beaten. No one spoke as Josh tossed his Pokéball. It only wiggled once before the light went off.</div> <div> "I CAUGHT FURRET!" Josh cried, striking a pose. Both Ashs muttered angrily about Josh stealing their poses. "Return Poliwhirl," Josh said, "you definitely earned a rest." "WHIRL," agreed the tuckered-out tadpole as it returned. "Where'd you come up with that Flying Mega Whatta Whatta Punch?" asked the IPO Brock. "Oh, during a training session one day," replied Josh airily. "Where did you come up with the NAME???" asked Misty the Younger. "Flying Super Mega Double Punch? Surely you can make up a better name than THAT!" she said incredulously. Josh just rolled his eyes, deciding it was better not to respond.</div> <bR> <div> * * * * * *</div> <bR> <div> Shortly after the capture of Furret, the heroes, other heroes, and authors entered the cave. "It's so dark in here!" whined IPO Misty. "It's OK Mist," replied IPO Ash. "Pikachu, Pichu, use your Flash powers!" "CHU!" cooed both mice as they lit up the cave. "Looks like the grotto is at the end of the tunnel," said Tracey. "It is," replied Cullen. "I should know."</div> <div> Everyone gazed in wonder at the wondrous sight at the end of the tunnel. It was such a big cavern the Flash power didn't light it up totally. There was a huge underground lake, with several Poliwhirl swimming in it while Slowpoke hung around the edges. "Wow!" said Tracey, immediately sketching the splendor of the cavern. "But like the IRS agents who knock on your door shortly after you win the lottery, why aren't these Pokémon seizing the opportunity to evolve?" asked Reiko. "Yeah," remarked Cameron, "if this place is as chock-full of King's Rocks as you said, Cullen, why aren't these guys all evolved?"</div> <div> "That is strange," replied Cullen, "I really don't know!" "Maybe Poliwhirl can ask them," said Josh. "Come out Whirly!" Poliwhirl popped out of his Pokéball, looking tired. "It's not a battle Whirly," said Josh quickly, "just go ask those Poliwhirls why they aren't evolved." "POLI!" said the tadpole, and he immediately struck up a conversation with another Poliwhirl. Soon he came back to Josh and started telling him the news. "OK...Whirly says the Pokémon can't find any King's Rocks anywhere! They used to lay around like garbage at a dump, but except for the ones in the rock walls, they don't know where any are!"</div> <div> "Very odd," said IPO Brock. I wonder what the problem is..."</div> <bR> <div> * * * * * *</div> <bR> <div> Meanwhile, the problem was hiding in the secret upper room in the big cavern. "Our operation is going perfect!" said Jessie gleefully. "Yeah," replied Meowth. "Our King's Rock heist is raking them in by the bushel!" And Meowth pointed to the large sack, filled to the brim with the precious stones. "And when we sell them," added James, "We'll be RICH!!!" But it was then that the evil trio heard voices in the cavern below. "Who's there?" they all asked. "I dunno," replied Meowth. "Get da binoculars." James whipped them out and looked below. "There are a lot of people down there!" James reported. "Not just the brats!" "Lemme see dat!" yelled the scratch cat Pokémon, shoving James out of the way. "Who da heck are dese guys?" Meowth wondered out loud, surprised at the number of people he beheld with his single eye. "Who cares?" replied Jessie. "If there's more people, that usually means more Pokémon!" James, however, looked worried. "But Jessie, if there's more people with more Pokémon, than that probably means more pain and more blasting off again!" he said. "Jimmy actually has a good point," grumbled Meowth. "Yeah," said Jessie. "If only there were more of us..."</div> <div> Just then Team Rocket heard screaming above their heads. All three evil dorks dashed out of the way and just dodged three familiar-looking figures that landed on the ground. Team Rocket hid in the bushes and listened to these strange people.</div> <div> "Man, that was a LONG way down! I think I broke a nail!"</div> <div> "So THAT'S where that funny door led. I wonder where those kids are?"</div> <div> "Shut up Jimmy! We gots ta find dose brats and get dat Pikachu!"</div> <div> "Hey! That guy sounds like me!" exclaimed Meowth. He ran out from behind the bushes to see who had spoken. Imagine his surprise when he saw himself!</div> <div> "AAAAHHHHH!!!! IT'S ME WIT TWO OIYS!!!" screamed IPO Meowth as he saw his younger self (though he didn't know that yet). "What's going on?" asked IPO Jessie and James as they ran around the bushes as quickly as they could. They were also shocked to see younger versions of themselves.</div> <div> "AGGGHHH! WHO ARE YOU GUYS???" Everyone dashed back into the bushes. "Wait a minute Jess," said James, "I think these guys are what we look like in the future!"</div> <div> "Really? I haven't changed a bit!" said Jessie. "Still beautiful..."</div> <div> "I've sure changed!" cried Meowth. "What happened to my eye??"</div> <div> "Wait," said IPO Jessie, coming out from behind the bushes, "you mean you guys are what we used to look like?" "Of course," replied the younger Jessie, "don't you recognize this beautiful face?" "Actually, yeah!" said IPO Jessie. "But of course, I'm better-looking." "Just 'cause you're older," grumbled Jessie.</div> <div> "Wow, you're Past Me?" asked IPO James. "I guess," said James. "How's my old Weezing?" "Better than you know," he replied with an evilish grin.</div> <div> "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY EYE???" Meowth screamed at his older self. "It's not moiy fault!" IPO Meowth said. "I lost it in a ferocious battle with Fusterman's punk Sandshrew! Dose two bozos used a Medusa Stone on me, making me a stone giant! When I changed back, my eye stayed stone and rolled out! It was the worst day of moiy life!" Meowth looked sympathetic. "Worse than being demoted because of dat stoopid Persian?" "Much worse," said IPO Meowth, "considering Gio's dead anyway."</div> <div> "HOLD IT!" yelled IPO Jessie. "This means we have twice the Rocket-power! That Pikachu is ours! We can stop those others!" "OTHERS???" exclaimed Team Rocket (not IPO). "You mean da brats from our universe are wit da brats from your universe?" asked Meowth. "I guess," replied IPO Jessie. "Great! Just great!" moaned James. "Now we have twice the brats!" "There goes our easy win!" groaned IPO James as he and his younger self started bawling those weird anime fountain tears.</div> <div> "I can change that."</div> <div> "Who said that?" asked Jessie. She saw a tall, cloaked figure with glowing blue eyes in the shadows. "I did," it replied. "Now call out your Arbok and Weezing and we'll make sure the bad guys win this time...."</div> <bR> <div> * * * * * *</div> <bR> <div> "Well, it looks like these Poliwhirl and Slowpoke are in a jam," said Brock. "Maybe our Ground-types can dig out some King's Rocks! Go Onix!" "Let's go Golem!" IPO Brock called out. "WOW!" said Brock with stars in his eyes. "I get a GOLEM??? I LOVE GOLEM! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED ONE!" "Just keep training," replied Brock, wondering if this hyperactive person was really his past self.</div> <div> "NOT SO FAST, PAL!!!" yelled a voice from above. Everyone watched as a platform lowered from a hole in the ceiling with six figures on it. "Who is THAT?" asked Cameron. "You'd better prepare for trouble!" came two feminine voices. "Yes, and make it double double!" added two masculine voices. "If I didn't know better, I'd say it was Team Rocket!" muttered Blackeyez. But then a lantern on the platform lit up the mysterious six. Upon seeing who they were, all the Poliwhirl dove into the water in fear. "It ISTH!!!" cried Psycho.</div> <bR> <div> Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!</div> <div> James: To unite all villains in the fic nation!</div> <div> IPO Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!</div> <div> IPO James: To extend our reach to the stars above!</div> <div> Jessie: Jessie!</div> <div> James: James!</div> <div> IPO Jessie: Jessie again!</div> <div> IPO James: James again!</div> <div> Both Jessies: Team Rocket now has twice the power!</div> <div> Both Jameses: Our multiplied strength will make you cower!</div> <div> Both Meowths: Meowths! With three eyes!</div> <bR> <div> "Team Rocket from our universe is here???" gasped N. Igma. "Iggy! Did you forget to close the portal???" said an exasperated Blackeyez. "It may have slipped my mind..." said N. Igma sheepishly. "Don't worry," said Josh, "we'll handle this, right Whirly?" "WHIRRRLLL..." groaned Poliwhirl tiredly as it, Golem, and Onix got ready to fight.</div> <div> "If you want these regal rocks back," said IPO Jessie as she held up the sack of King's Rocks, "you'll have to fight for them!" "It's dark in this cave, so our super-Pokémon can fight!" said IPO James. "Go Hakking!" "Go Bython!" All the characters in the Entity series' jaws dropped when they saw these monsters. "We got THOSE???" gasped Jessie and James. "Long story," replied IPO Jessie.</div> <div> "Ooooo...Hakking and Bython. So what?" said IPO Brock confidently. "Our Ground-types still have an advantage, Dark-type or not!"</div> <div> "Maybe," said IPO Jessie. "But wait till you see our counterparts' creatures!"</div> <div> "GO METAL ARBOK!"</div> <div> "GO METAL WEEZING!"</div> <div> The snake and gasbag came from behind TR, clanking as they came. When they fell to the gorund along with Bython and Hakking, everyone could see that they were totally and truly metallic. "This reminds me of a video game called Super Mario 64!" remarked Cameron. "When Mario put on the Metal Cap, he became invincible!"</div> <div> "Who cares who Mario is???" snapped IPO Brock, who was now looking a little worried, "we can still beat 'em! Golem, Rock Slide!" "GOLEM!" bellowed the rock beast as it sent an avalanche of boulders on Metal Arbok and Metal Weezing's heads. But it didn't hurt them at all! "No way!" gasped Brock. "Metal Arbok, give it a Metal Bite!" cried Jessie. Metal Arbok bit Golem, and Golem yelled in pain, for the fangs actually punctured his skin. Then Hakking Seismic Tossed it into the cavern wall, KO'ing it. "NO! Golem! You can't lose!" moaned IPO Brock.</div> <div> "Poliwhirl, give it your best shot!" cried Josh. "Are you kidding?" said IPO Jessie. "That thing is way too tired to fight! Bython! Toxic attack!" "BYYYYPLAK!" Bython shot two globs of poison at Poliwhirl. It was too tired to dodge, and started succumbing immediately. "No! You better back out!" said Josh, watching helplessly as his faithful partner writhed in agony from the poison.</div> <div> "If they're Metal, maybe Fire can beat them!" cried Reiko. "Growlithe, please help us and try a Flamethrower!" "GROWWL!" barked the Pokémon, knowing it was his duty to stop Rockets. The puppy Pokémon spat fire at the metal monsters, but it didn't seem to affect them at all. "Hahaha!!!" laughed Jessie. "You think a little fire will stop us?" "Where did you get them all metalled-up?" asked Tracey. "From some weird guy named N. Cognito," replied Meowth. "Cognito!" gasped N. Igma. "I should have known! And I also should have known to close the portal!"</div> <div> Meanwhile Brock was watching his older self and one of his best friends get stomped...and he was getting VERY angry. "N. Igma, can't you do something?" he asked. "Sorry, our powers don't work outside of our own universe!" said N. Igma sadly. "Well," said Brock, narrowing his eyes even more than normal, "then it's up to me."</div> <div> "Onix! It's time for a little payback!" "After Golem, you think that can beat us?" asked Jessie while she and her older self laughed. "Metal Weezing will take you out!" grinned James. "Fire the Metal Sludge!" "WEEEZBLAT!!" Metal Weezing spat a metallic substance that looked not unlike mercury on Onix. It wailed as the poison sunk in, for the metal sludge ate through rock. "No, Onix!" cried Brock. "Now, Metal Body Slam!" James said triumphantly. The metallic sludge creature smashed into Onix, sending it flying into the rock wall. "Onix...not you too..." moaned Brock, seeing his beloved Pokémon smashed into the rock. "It looks like we win!!!" cackled the Jessies while the Jameses did their laugh and the Meowths danced. "WAIT!!!" yelled Tracey suddenly. "You're interrupting our victory dance," snapped IPO Jessie, "what?"</div> <div> "Something's happening to Onix!"</div> <div> Everyone watched as something in the rock wall wrapped around Onix's middle. Something very shiny. "That looks like a Metal Coat!" said Cullen. "But if that's a Metal Coat," said Ash, "that means..."</div> <div> "IT'S EVOLVING!!!" cried Brock joyfully.</div> <div> Onix began to glow as the Coat wrapped around it. Then it grew two feet longer. Large spikes sprouted out of its sides. Its head became huge and flat. Its eyes flashed above a row of square teeth set in a ferocious grin. Cameron heard Dextra speak up. "STEELIX: the iron snake Pokémon. It is said that if an ONIX lives for over 100 years, its composition changes to become diamond-like. Of course, it can evolve much quicker by using a Metal Coat!"</div> <div> "What's up with that??" snarled IPO James. "Hakking, use Rapid Sludge!" "HAKKHAKKHAKK!!!" Hakking fired its sludge, but Steelix just blinked as the slime dripped off him. "Watch a master," said the younger James, "Metal Sludge the new snake!" "WEEZBLAT!" The Metal Sludge clung on Steelix a bit, but it slid off too. "You fool!" said Tracey. "Steel-types aren't affected by Poison-type attacks!" "Steelix, Earthquake attack!" cried Brock happily. Steelix pounded the ground with its tail and the whole cavern shook. "Whoaaaa!!!" yelled Team Rocket. "EEEYAAAHHH!!!" they screamed as they fell off the platform. "Save the stones!" wailed IPO Meowth. But it was too late; the bag of King's Rocks fell to the ground along with the villains. When it hit, a rock fell out and landed next to the poisoned Poliwhirl of Josh. Poliwhirl reached out feebly and touch it. Then it began to glow too.</div> <div> "Poliwhirl's changing now!" yelled Josh. "It's turning green! Or is that just the effects of the Toxic attack?" "No," said Blackeyez, "I think it's evolving into Politoed!"</div> <div> And indeed, the Pokémon standing before them was no tadpole. It was a full-fledged frog with a yellow spiral on its belly. "TOED!" it cried. Cameron opened his Pokédex and Dextra spoke up again. "POLITOED: the frog Pokémon. Whenever three or more of these guys get together, they sing in a loud voice that sounds like bellowing. If POLIWAG and POLIWHIRL hear its echoing cry, they respond by gathering from far and wide."</div> <div> "I wonder if it will sing..." Misty wondered. As if inspired by Misty's idea, Politoed stood up and sang out to the lake.</div> <div> "TOOOEEED POOOLI POLI TOED TOOOEEED!!!"</div> <div> All the Poliwhirl jumped out of the lake and rushed over to Politoed. They said "POLI! WHIRL WHIRL!" which means, "My Lord! What do you command?" Politoed pointed at Team Rocket and bellowed, "TOED TOED POLI POL!" which means, "Let's get those bad guys!"</div> <div> "POLIIII!!!!" they all cried together, which means, "CHAAAARRRGE!!!" The Poliwhirls jumped on Team Rocket and started beating them up. "Acckkk! Save us, guys!" IPO Team Rocket yelled to Bython and Hakking.</div> <div> "BYYYYTHONNN!!!"</div> <div> Bython used a powerful two-headed Glare, which froze the Poliwhirl in their tracks. Then it turned on Politoed, hissing like a mad thing as Hakking joined its side. Politoed stood there with a smug look on his face, and then it yelled, "TOED!" as smoke blew out of its nose. Then the poisonous mutates started glowing. "What's that?" asked Ash, as he consulted his own Pokédex. "SWAGGER:" said his Pokédex, "POLITOED's special attack. It makes opposing Pokémon more powerful, but confuses them as well. So if they hit themselves, it's gonna hurt!" Ash raised an eyebrow at his Pokédex, and whispered to Cameron, "Are Pokédexes living things?" "I've been trying to figure that one out for years," replied Cameron.</div> <div> Bython and Hakking looked at each other, and then got angry looks in their eyes. Hakking leapt at Bython, who wrapped its coils around the sludge beast. Both Pokémon got into a cartoon dust-ball fight while their trainers yelled at them. "Bython! Get THEM, not Hakking!" screeched IPO Jessie. "How dare your slimy snake attack my precious Hakking!!??" yelled James, jumping on Jessie with fists flying. "Argh! Get off, James, you clod!" "How dare you hurt Hakking!" "Meowth! Don't start this nonsense!" wailed IPO Meowth, desperately trying to break it up. Everyone-even the other Rockets-laughed as the villains literally beat themselves.</div> <div> "Make way for the next generation!" cried James. "Our Pokémon have gone double platinum!" Jessie added. "Oh no!" said IPO Ash. "How can we beat these metallic morons? Evolved or not, our Pokémon can't face them!"</div> <div> "I just remembered!" said N. Igma suddenly. "Oh Team Rooocket!" "What, you hooded doofus?" snapped Meowth. "I remember, a long way back, someone in our message board community said they'd love to kick your butt!"</div> <div> "SO???" said James. "A lot of people want to kick our naughty little behinds. What's different now?"</div> <div> N. Igma grinned his biggest, most evil grin. "I take requests."</div> <div> Suddenly, there was a rumbling in the cave floor. The center of the rumbling seemed to be directly under the Rockets. "UH-OH!" they said, fearing what was coming next. Then a giant Sandslash BLASTED out of the ground, sending Team Rocket flying!</div> <div> "Oh, I remember now," said Psycho, "it was Game Advice Persthon who sthaid that!" "Hee hee hee!!" GAP laughed crazily. "Now I get my chance! KEE-YAHHH!!!"</div> <div> "Metal Arbok, Metal Weezing, get that nut!" yelled Jessie and James in unison. The shiny sludge-filled Pokémon launched themselves at GAP, but he met them in midair with his fists.</div> <div> SMASHHH!!! The metallic shells shattered and flew all over in little pieces while the same old bumbling Arbok and Weezing laid on the ground, looking very dizzy. "Amazing!" said Tracey. "GAP's punch broke their power!" "Never underestimate the might of the webperson!" said Blackeyez, grinning broadly as GAP punched Arbok and Weezing silly.</div> <div> "OH NO!!!" screamed Jessie and James. "Now we're in BIG trouble!!!"</div> <div> "PICHU!" The little Pichu stepped forward. "Scratch that, goiys," said Meowth. "This little punk can't beat us!" He brandished his claws and advanced on Pichu. "Coem here, ya runt!" "Pichu, look out!!" cried Ash. "PI!!! PIIIIII..." said Pichu charging up. Everything seemed to go in slow motion, Meowth rushing at Pichu as Pichu charged up...</div> <div> FWASSHHH! BOOM!!!! "MEEEEEEE!!!!!"</div> <div> Temporarily blinded by the flash, everyone opened his or her eyes slowly. Then they saw Meowth lying on the ground paralyzed, at the feet of a triumphant...</div> <div> "PIKACHU!!! YOU'RE BACK!" Ash cried happily as he embraced his favorite Pokémon. "PIKA-PI!" Pikachu replied, crying a little. "I get it," said IPO Brock, "Pichu evolve when they love their trainer very, very much. Since Pikachu already loved Ash a heck of a lot, it didn't take long for Pichu to evolve back." "I'm sorry, but that's REALLY cheap!" grumbled Ian. "NO!!! NOW WE'RE DEFINETLY TOAST!!!" yelled Team Rocket.</div> <div> "Now let's get 'em!" said Matt. "Hold on!" said N. Igma, and he whispered something in Josh's ear. "Oh! Okay, got it," said Josh. "Go Electrode!" "OH NOOO!!!" screamed Jessie and James, hugging each other and preparing to be blown away. But Electrode launched past them and blew a hole in the ceiling. "GAP, you do the honors," said N. Igma. "Got it Iggy! 8-balls in the corner pocket!" he cried as he powered up a Dynamic Punch. When he hit the two evil people and their three evil Pokémon, a huge explosion came out of his fist, sending them flying through the hole Electrode had blown in the ceiling. "WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!!!" they yelled. Suddenly, a portal opened in their flight path. They flew into it and it closed, sealing them back in the Entities' universe.</div> <div> "WE DID IT!" yelled our heroes. "Not quite," Cullen said, pointing at the IPO's Team Rocket, who was sitting there dazed from their battle. Everyone pulled out their Pokéballs. "Uh-oh," said IPO Meowth. "Looks like we'd better escape!" He whipped out a remote control and pressed a button. A panel opened in the wall as Jessie and James called back their Pokémon. Then they slid down the hole. "Looks like Team Rocket's sliding away againnnn!!!"</div> <div> "Oh, great!" sighed Stella. "They got away!" "It's okay, my lovely lady," said IPO Brock, putting an arm around her, "at least they're gone." Everyone cheered.</div> <div> "Hey guys!" Everyone looked over at Matt. He had his Slowpoke out and a King's Rock clutched in his fist. "Watch!" He placed his King's Rock to his Slowpoke and watched as it evolved. Matt hugged his new Slowking and everyone cheered again.</div> <div> "It looks like the fic crossover is finally over!" cried Blackeyez. "AWWWWW," replied his characters, "we like it here!" "Sorry guys," said N. Igma, "but we gotta work on the next fic! I had to pull a lot of strings to get you to our next crossover adventure. So say goodbye."</div> <div> "POLI POLI WHIRL!" wailed the Poliwhirl. "Hey," said Josh, "the Poliwhirl want Politoed to stay and protect them!" "Maybe you should leave him behind," said Cameron. "He would be happiest..."</div> <div> "TOED!" yelled Politoed, slapping Cameron. "Sorry Cam," said Josh as a concerned Reiko ran over, "but unlike you and Ash, my Pokémon stay with me." Just then Politoed jumped out of Josh's arms. "Where're you going?" he asked. Politoed picked up a King's Rock and walked over to the largest Poliwhirl. It handed it to the tadpole and it evolved. Josh's Politoed said to the new Politoed in Pokémon, "<I must go and help other Pokémon in need...and stay with my master and friend. You will rule in my stead. You are very capable and will serve your people well.>"</div> <div> "That Politoed is a wise creature," said Reiko, who had caught the gist of what Politoed had said. She patted Cameron on his sore cheek as Josh returned his beloved partner into its Pokéball.</div> <div> "I'll remember you...and when I was younger," said IPO Misty to her younger self. "I'll remember you...and when I was so full of ambition," said IPO Ash to his younger self. "I'll remember you...and when I was still single!" said IPO Brock to his younger self, winking.</div> <div> "Bye Cameron!" said Matt. "Now we've both got Slowkings!" "See ya, Matt, guys," said Cameron. "Bye Reiko! I learned something today from you," said Josh. "Maybe to lay off the womanization so much?" Reiko asked. "No, of course not!" he replied. "I learned that beautiful women and cold steel is a dangerous combination!" Reiko looked annoyed, but Cameron smiled and said, "That combo works for me just fine." "Thank you Came-chan," said Reiko, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Josh turned away and tried not to get jealous. "Bye Tracey! I'll remember not all of you are evil!" said Ian. "What is this about me being evil???" Tracey asked.</div> <div> "See ya later, Cullen!" said N. Igma. "Remember, we're still your biggest fans!" said Blackeyez. "Goodbye fellas!" said Cullen. "Good luck on your next fic! It's been an honor to work with you!" N. Igma called out Dark Porygon to take them home, and as everyone climbed in, Psycho looked back at the people waving goodbye, wiped a tear from his eye, and said, "Parting isth sthuch sthweet sthorrow."</div> <bR> <div> * * * * * *</div> <bR> <div> "Looks like we got away!" said Meowth as Team Rocket continued to slide away through the underground. "Guess we didn't change much in six years," said James, remembering his past self. "Sure we did," said Jessie, "now we're smarter! We wouldn't have thought of this escape tunnel six years ago!"</div> <div> Just then the tunnel ended and Team Rocket landed in another cave. "Oh no!" said James. "These boulders are blocking the exit!" Then one of the boulders moved. "GRAVLE!" "Oh no! They're Graveler!" cried Jessie. "Real smart, indeed," said Meowth as the grumpy Rock-types prepared to crush the insolent humans who had dared disturb their nap.</div> <div> "IT LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET'S BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE AGAIN!!!"</div> <bR> <div> TO BE CONTINUED</div> <bR> <div> N.
