I guess I was just on a roll :b It's also one of the more anime-style fics. About my favorite type of Pokémon... </div> <bR> <div> Six Feet Under! </div> <div> By Blackeyez, Psycho, and N. Igma </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: We find our heroes……… </div> <bR> <div> Entities: HOLD IT! </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: Whaaaaaaat? I’m trying to say my lines here! </div> <bR> <div> N. Igma: We apologize, but we have an announcement. </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: Fine, I’ll wait………they don’t pay me enough for this……… </div> <bR> <div> N. Igma: This is the fic where we find out the genders of our characters’ Pokémon! </div> <bR> <div> (Psycho pushes out a big machine on a cart. He trips and it slides across the room and crashes into Dark Porygon. Blackeyez shakes his head.) </div> <bR> <div> Blackeyez: After that moment of sheer stupidity, here are our characters, Josh, Matt, and Ian! </div> <bR> <div> (Josh, Matt, and Ian walk out as people applaud) </div> <bR> <div> The Fanfic Cult: WE LOVE YOU MATT! IAN IS A HOTTIE! JOSHY JOSHY JOSHY! </div> <bR> <div> N. Igma: Using this Gender Machine, which is hopefully not damaged too much, we will determine the genders of your Pokémon. Josh, you first. </div> <bR> <div> (Josh opens his Pokéballs. His Pokémon stand in line and walk past the sensor on the machine. Electrode is first.) </div> <bR> <div> Machine: Electrodes have no gender. </div> <bR> <div> (Kangaskhan walks by) </div> <bR> <div> Machine: All Kangaskhans are female! COME ON! Give me a harder one! </div> <bR> <div> (Josh stares at the machine as Politoed and Furret walk by) </div> <bR> <div> Machine: This Politoed is male and this Furret is female. </div> <bR> <div> Matt: My turn! (Releases his Pokémon) </div> <bR> <div> Machine: (as they walk by) Out of all of your Pokémon, only Bellossom is female. Don’t feel bad though, sweetie. That Venusaur is a hunk! (Bellossom turns away blushing while Venusaur looks at the machine confused) </div> <bR> <div> Blackeyez: (whispers to N. Igma) Did Psycho make the personality chip?? </div> <bR> <div> (Psycho nods and grins) </div> <bR> <div> N. Igma: Could have been worse. </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Now my Pokies get examined………(releases them) </div> <bR> <div> Machine: Hypno, Cyndaquil, and Sunkern are male. Wooper and Mareep are female. </div> <bR> <div> N. Igma: And there you have it, folks! </div> <bR> <div> (Smoke suddenly fills the room) </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: To protect the world- </div> <bR> <div> The Fanfic Cult: DON’T INTERRUPT IGGY! (Team Rocket looks scared) </div> <bR> <div> James: We just wanted to see the genders of our Pokémon! </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: Mine BETTER all be girls!! </div> <bR> <div> (They call out their Pokémon and put them in front of the scanner) </div> <bR> <div> Machine: Murkrow and Lickitung, female. Victreebel and Octillery, male. </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: No problems yet! Now to view our best two! </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: How very poetic……… </div> <bR> <div> Machine: Arbok, male. Weezing, female. </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: WHAAAAAAAAT???? YOU’VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! </div> <bR> <div> Machine: My calculations are precise and correct. </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: No, they’re not. </div> <bR> <div> Machine: Yes, they are. </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: No, they’re not! </div> <bR> <div> Machine: Yes, they are! </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: NO THEY’RE NOT!!! </div> <bR> <div> Machine: YES THEY ARE!!! </div> <bR> <div> (As Arbok watches his demented master argue with an inanimate object, he yawns and lets his tail drape around Weezing. She blushes and looks over at Arbok shyly) </div> <bR> <div> Arbok: (DUBBED IN ENGLISH) I never realized what a beautiful eyes you had………or such slimy, purple skin……… </div> <bR> <div> Weezing: Oh, Arbok, you know I’ve always loved you. </div> <bR> <div> Arbok: Kiss me, my darling! </div> <bR> <div> (They are about to kiss when Jessie knocks their heads together) </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT??? </div> <bR> <div> Psycho: Uh, misthter Narrator, we better sthart the sthow now. </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: Okay………Our heroes are continuing on their journey. After capturing many G/S Pokémon, Josh, Matt, and Ian are anxious to test them in the land of Johto! </div> <bR> <div> Brock: That Furret you caught looks very interesting, Josh! </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Yeah, I’m wondering what attacks it knows. Maybe I could battle with it and find out! </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Sounds good. Our new Pokémon need to gain levels and learn some decent moves anyway. </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Not until we get to the next town. I’M HUNGRY!!! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Don’t worry Misty. We’re heading to a place called Rose Town. It should have some food. </div> <bR> <div> Brock: I hear its Tentacool Stew is world-famous! </div> <bR> <div> Misty: (gags) Maybe in Japan! </div> <bR> <div> Josh: There it is! We’re here! (Points to a giant flower that says “WELCOME”) </div> <bR> <div> Brock: That was fast. </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Life is good when you live in a fanfic written by impatient people! </div> <bR> <div> Blackeyez: Yeah, impatient like his fans……… </div> <bR> <div> N. Igma: Hey, I’m writing it now, aren’t I??? </div> <bR> <div> (They go into the Pokémon Center) </div> <bR> <div> Brock: (drools) Hi, Nurse Joy! </div> <bR> <div> Misty: *coughpervcough* </div> <bR> <div> Brock: Eh? </div> <bR> <div> Nurse Joy: What can I do for you? </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Just heal my Pokémon. (Tosses her his Pokéballs) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Mine too! (Tosses them on top of Josh’s) </div> <bR> <div> Brock, Ian, Misty, and Ash: OURS TOO! (Tosses them on top of Josh and Matt’s) </div> <bR> <div> Joy: (staggering under the weight) Erm, this could take a while………a little help here? </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Ooops, forgot Pikachu. </div> <bR> <div> (Pikachu jumps on top of the pile in Joy’s arms. She falls over) </div> <bR> <div> Brock: Oh, let me help you! (Pulls her up) </div> <bR> <div> Joy: Thank you, uh, Brock was it? </div> <bR> <div> Brock: Yes. Let me pick those up for you. </div> <bR> <div> Joy: Thank you so much. </div> <bR> <div> (Brock bends down and starts picking up the balls. As he does, he looks upwards into Joy’s skirt.) </div> <bR> <div> Ian: (looking out the window) Wow, what’s that forest? </div> <bR> <div> Joy: Oh! That’s the Dark Forest, haven for Dark-types. </div> <bR> <div> Ash: (looks excited) Really? Dark-types? </div> <bR> <div> Joy: Yeah. (Looks angry) Why did the council ever agree to that foolish decision??? </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Excuse me? (Suddenly notices Brock looking up Joy’s skirt. She kicks him in the butt) </div> <bR> <div> Brock: OUCH! </div> <bR> <div> Joy: Brock! You okay? </div> <bR> <div> Brock: Oh, of course! Here are your balls, I mean Pokéballs! </div> <bR> <div> Joy: (realizes why Brock is so nervous around her and flutters her eyelashes) Of course. (Takes them and smiles as Brock blushes) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Like I was saying, what have you got against Dark-types? </div> <bR> <div> (Suddenly they hear the loud obnoxious racket of a passing bulldozer) </div> <bR> <div> ???: THAT’S why. (Everyone looks towards the door) I’m Marsha Uma Kingly. That sound you hear is progress! Soon that stupid forest will be gone and a brand new Kingly Department Store will be in this place, raking in cash! </div> <bR> <div> Joy: (furious) Marsha, you greedy snake! That forest has more value in its unique species of Pokémon than your mall will ever have! </div> <bR> <div> Marsha: What do I care about those ugly Dark-types? Think of all the good my mall will do for your town’s economy! </div> <bR> <div> Joy: We get along just fine! Burt’s Pokéball-making business is booming, and many tourists come to catch the Dark-types! Speaking of which………I’m surprised you don’t like Dark-types, Marsha. They seem to fit your personality. </div> <bR> <div> Marsha: They do not! Black’s not even my color! </div> <bR> <div> Joy: Oh, I’m sorry. Maybe poison-types suit you better. Especially this one Pokémon……… </div> <bR> <div> Marsha: (turns pale) DON’T SAY IT!!! </div> <bR> <div> Joy: (looks innocently) Say what, Miss MUK? </div> <bR> <div> (Our heroes laugh) </div> <bR> <div> Ian: I get it, it’s an acronym………(keeps laughing) </div> <bR> <div> Marsha: Stop it! It’s not MY fault my parents named me M. U. Kingly! </div> <bR> <div> Joy: Well, they were right to. You’re vile, sleazy, swamping everyone in your sludge of greed and lust for power……… </div> <bR> <div> Reiko: Hey, Joy-san made a good metaphor! (Runs back to Cullen’s fics) </div> <bR> <div> Marsha: Well, there’s nothing you can do about it, Joy! I’m off to continue supervision. A fifth of the forest is already gone and I have no intention to stop! (Does Jessie-ish laugh) HAHAHAHAHA!!! (Walks out) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: I get it. You don’t like that the city council agreed to bulldoze the forest and build the mall! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Wow, Misty, are you psychic? </div> <bR> <div> Misty: (sighs) No, I can just put two and two together! </div> <bR> <div> Joy: Sadly, there’s nothing I can do………but while you’re here, why don’t you go see Burt, the Pokéball maker? </div> <bR> <div> Ash: All right! LET’S GO SEE THE POKéBALL MAKER!!! (Runs off) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Ash! What have I told you about striking poses, saying simple things dramatically, and running off into the sunset? Ash?? UGH! Doesn’t he ever listen to me? I could ask him to marry me and he’d STILL ignore me!! </div> <bR> <div> (Everyone stares) </div> <bR> <div> Josh: (grins evilly) And why would you ever ask him something like that? </div> <bR> <div> Misty: IT WAS A FIGURE OF SPEECH! </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Let’s just go get our hero……… (Runs after Ash along with everyone else) </div> <bR> <div> Joy: (watches them go) We seem to get the funniest people in here lately. Why, the other day a fat guy with blue overalls and an Italian accent walked in and asked if we had an arrow problem. I told him I had no clue what he was talking about, and he walked off muttering about finding the star pieces or something……… </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: Up on the roof……… </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: How very intarestin. </div> <bR> <div> James: Hey, I can put two and two together too! (Counts on fingers) 1, 2, 3………Jessie, what comes after three again? </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: A smack in the four-head, that’s what!! (Whaps James with a fan) </div> <bR> <div> James: Owww, paper cut……… </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: I like that lady. She reminds me of my favorite person. </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: You? </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: How’d you guess? </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: (rolls eyes) I dunno. </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: I’ve got it! We’ll go steal all those wonderfully evil Dark-types for the boss, and then we’ll go offer to bulldoze the forest for that woman! </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: Think’a all da money……… </div> <bR> <div> James: But Jessie, how will we navigate that dark and scary forest? </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: Easy. My new Murkrow will guide us! He can even trick our target into coming to us! </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: Sounds good! </div> <bR> <div> James: I’m still scared………(cowers) </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: We return to our heroes, who have arrived at Burt’s place……… </div> <bR> <div> DING-DONG! </div> <bR> <div> Man inside: No one is home! Go away! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Hey, that makes no sense! (Rings doorbell) </div> <bR> <div> DING-DONG! </div> <bR> <div> Man inside: No one is home! Go away! </div> <bR> <div> Matt: He sure is persistent………and dumb! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: This time he better answer! (Pushes doorbell repeatedly) </div> <bR> <div> DING-DONG DING-DONG DING-DONG DING-DONG DING-DONG DING-DONG! </div> <bR> <div> Man inside: I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU THAT NO ONE’S HOME!!! </div> <bR> <div> (The door flies open and smashes Ash in the face. A short man with a wide head and a thin mustache opens it) </div> <bR> <div> Man: Who rings my doorbell so annoyingly??? </div> <bR> <div> Everyone else: (points to Ash) HIM! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Owwww, my nose! </div> <bR> <div> Matt: I don’t see a nose anymore……… </div> <bR> <div> Ash: I think it got smashed into my head! </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Don’t worry Ashy. Brock’s eyes are real far back in his head and he sees fine! </div> <bR> <div> Brock: I don’t find that funny. </div> <bR> <div> Man: Ah, visitors! And funny visitors at that! </div> <bR> <div> 2nd Man: Ernie, are you scaring guests again? (A very tall, balding man comes to the door.) I apologize for my friend’s rudeness. I am Burt, the Pokéball maker. </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Are you related to Kurt of Azalea Town, by any chance? </div> <bR> <div> Burt: Yes, he is my brother. </div> <bR> <div> Josh: (looks up at the six-foot-seven frame of the man standing before him) But Kurt is………short. </div> <bR> <div> Burt: (sighs) I know………please come in. </div> <bR> <div> (Everyone walks into the simple house. A Psyduck walks up to them) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: AHHH! Psyduck?? Did you get loose??? </div> <bR> <div> Ernie: Oh no, this is my friend Duckie. He’s my best buddy! </div> <bR> <div> Psyduck: PSY! (Gives peace sign with two fingers) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Sigh………apparently all Psyducks think alike……… </div> <bR> <div> Ernie: (starts walking away with Duckie) Oh Psyduckie, you’re so fine………and I’m so lucky that you’re mine……… </div> <bR> <div> Burt: Don’t ask. Now what can I do for you trainers? </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Actually, I have a Green Apricorn! </div> <bR> <div> Misty: WHAT??? YOU NEVER TOLD US! </div> <bR> <div> Ash, Brock, Matt, and Ian: YEAH! </div> <bR> <div> Burt: Hmmm, green………I can make a Friend Ball out of this. It makes Pokémon very friendly with their new trainers upon capturing. </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Kewl! How long will it take to make? </div> <bR> <div> Burt: It might take a while………I’ll make you some of Rose Town’s famous Tentacool Stew! </div> <bR> <div> Brock: AWIGHT! </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Bleah……… </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Hey Ian, wanna test out our newbies in a battle? </div> <bR> <div> Ian: All right. Does three on three sound good? </div> <bR> <div> Matt: OK! </div> <bR> <div> (As dramatic battle music plays, Ash walks out with a bag of ice on his nose. Brock is spooning Tentacool Stew into his mouth at an alarming rate while Misty looks on, disgusted as Brock chews with his mouth open.) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: All right then………Go Slowking! </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Ah, I expected this………go Sunkern! </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Slowking, give him a Headbutt! (Sunkern gets knocked back several feet) </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Sunkern, Mega Drain attack! (Slowking is hurt for a decent amount of damage) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: You’ll pay for that! Slowking, Psychic now! (Sunkern is KO’d) </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Gaaahhh, it must need more training. Return! Go Mareep! Thunder Wave! (Slowking is paralyzed) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Like he can get any slower. Water Gun, to soften it up. (Mareep is hurt) </div> <bR> <div> Ian: I’m gonna see what attacks this Mareep knows………(reads Pokédex) Really? No way………it can’t be……… </div> <bR> <div> Matt: What? </div> <bR> <div> Ian: (grins evilly) Mareep, use your Thunderbolt. </div> <bR> <div> Matt: THUNDERBOLT?!?! (The move blasts Slowking and KO’s him) How does your guy know Thunderbolt? </div> <bR> <div> Josh: I heard it was an Egg Move of Mareep’s. </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Very well then………go Bellossom! (Whips out Pokédex) Now I’ll see what attacks it knows……… </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Mareep, try a Thunderbolt. (Bellossom isn’t hurt that much) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Aha! Bellossom, Acid attack! (Mareep is covered in Acid) Now, use Razor Leaf! (Leaves fly off Bellossom’s dress and slice up Mareep) </div> <bR> <div> Ian: But Oddish never learns Razor Leaf! </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Actually, it’s another Egg Move. </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Sigh………Mareep return. I have just the Pokémon for this occasion. Go Cyndaquil! </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Aw, crap. Now I’m in trouble! Bellossom, use Poisonpowder! (Cyndaquil gets poisoned) </div> <bR> <div> Ian: (reading Pokédex) Cyndaquil, Tackle it! (Bellossom gets smashed) Now, Quick Attack! (Bellossom gets hit again and Cyndaquil coughs up more HP to the poison) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: You’re just playing with me like a Meowth does with its food. Now you shall pay! Bellossom, try Sleep Powder! </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Not this time. Ember attack! (The Sleep Powder burns up) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Quick, Acid blast! (While Cyndaquil is torching the Sleep Powder, it gets blasted, totally off guard) </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Oh no, he’s almost defeated! I won’t go down easy though! Cyndaquil, use your special move: REVERSAL! (Bellossom is KO’d by the powered-up attack. Then the poison gets to Cyndaquil. Both Pokémon collapse) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: It’s a draw. (Looks away as Brock drinks the broth out of the bowl. The sun is setting.) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: How’d Cyndaquil know Reversal? </div> <bR> <div> Josh: When Pokémon hatch, sometimes they know moves their fathers knew, even if that Pokémon could never learn them naturally. It’s called an “Egg Move”. </div> <bR> <div> Ash: That’s why Team Rocket wanted the Pokémon. They wanted them because they knew special Egg Moves! </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Wow, Ash. Did you figure that out all by yourself? Cause that would be a first! </div> <bR> <div> (Everyone laughs. Matt sees a black shape run by him.) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Was that what I think it was? (He sees a yellow glow in the shape of rings. The shape vanishes into the woods.) HEY GUYS! I think I just saw an Umbreon! </div> <bR> <div> Brock: Really? Where? </div> <bR> <div> Matt: It went into the woods. I wanna capture it! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: (looks scared) Matt, you’re not thinking of going in the Dark Forest……… </div> <bR> <div> Misty: ………at night, are you? (The two huddle close together. Josh is about to make a wisecrack when Burt walks out) </div> <bR> <div> Burt: I finished your Friend Ball, young man. (Hands it to Josh) </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Sweeeeet……… </div> <bR> <div> Matt: That Umbreon is MINE! (Tears off into the forest) </div> <bR> <div> Everyone else: OH NO! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: We better save him! </div> <bR> <div> Everyone else: DO WE HAVE TO? </div> <bR> <div> Burt: You’d better. Some trainers that go into the forest vanished without a trace……… </div> <bR> <div> Ian: R-r-really? </div> <bR> <div> Ernie: Oh yeah, once they found a guy’s skull with teeth marks all over it……… </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Oh, how horrible! </div> <bR> <div> Josh: (sigh) Let’s go get him……… (They go into the dark and scary forest) </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: Unbeknownst to our heroes, but beknownst to us, Team Rocket is already in the woods……… </div> <bR> <div> James: (cowering) I’m scared………oh so very scared……… </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: Will you shut up already! </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: Are you sure dis Murkrow o’yours know where it’s goin’? </div> <bR> <div> Murkrow: Mur-hur-hur-krow. </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: What was dat? </div> <bR> <div> Murkrow: MURRRRKROOWWWWW!!!!!! </div> <bR> <div> (Suddenly tons of Murkrow fly down and start pecking Team Rocket.) </div> <bR> <div> Jessie and James: AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!! OWWWWW!!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!!! </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: Get me outta here! (He runs off into the darkness) </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: OW OOOH! You stupid Murkrow! OWCH! I’ll get you for this-HEY! STOP THAT! OWCH! </div> <bR> <div> James: Go, Octy! Hit ‘em with Octazooka! </div> <bR> <div> (Octy spits enormous blobs of ink at the Murkrows. It hits them in the faces and they fly off screeching, crashing into trees as they go) </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: (sees her Murkrow on the ground knocked out and recalls it) I don’t get it. Why does YOUR Pokémon listen to YOU? And why did it actually do GOOD against opponents??? </div> <bR> <div> James: Cause me and Octy are the best of pals! (He and Octy hug each other) </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: ………Hey, wasn’t Meowth supposed to make a snide remark right there? Where’d he go? </div> <bR> <div> James: I dunno, but I’m getting scared again………now I hear scary voices……… </div> <bR> <div> Voice: Matt! Matt, where are you? </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: Ah, it’s just the brats. </div> <bR> <div> Jessie and James: THE BRATS?!?! </div> <bR> <div> (Our heroes are searching for Matt still) </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Where is that moron??? </div> <bR> <div> Ash: I hope he’s not in trouble! </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: Trouble? </div> <bR> <div> James: Make it double! </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Awww, Ash, did you have to say “trouble”? Now they’re going to start saying……… </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: To protect the world from devastation! </div> <bR> <div> James: To unite- (Suddenly a eerie far-off howl cuts through the quiet darkness. Everyone stops, scared) </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: Uh, Jessie! </div> <bR> <div> James: J-j-j-james. </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: Team Rocket has come in the darkness of night! </div> <bR> <div> James: S-s-s-surrenduh-der now or pr-prepare t-to, uh……… </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: You fraidy-cat! (Whaps James) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Hey, where’s Meowth? </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: Um, uh……… </div> <bR> <div> James: HE VANISHED INTO THE WOODS!!! (Cries) </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: James, you fool! </div> <bR> <div> Brock: I don’t think poor James needs to be beat up right now. </div> <bR> <div> Ash: I’ll be merciful then. Pikachu, just a Thunder Wave. (Team Rocket is paralyzed) </div> <bR> <div> ???: GET BACK HERE! </div> <bR> <div> (A shape darts through the trees. Matt crashes through the bushes, running after it) </div> <bR> <div> Josh: AFTER THAT NUT! (They run after him) </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: In another neck of the woods……… </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: Drat, I lost dem! What now?………eh? </div> <bR> <div> (An impish Pokémon with blue skin and long, sharp claws comes up to Meowth. It looks at his charm with gleaming eyes) </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: What’re you lookin’ at, wise guy? </div> <bR> <div> Pokémon: Sneeeeaaasell. (Tries to touch Meowth’s charm) </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: Hey! Claws off, buddy! </div> <bR> <div> Sneasel: Sneasel? SNEEEEEAAAASELLL!!!! </div> <bR> <div> (Three other Sneasels walk out of the underbrush. They all have Meowth’s charm in their eyes.) </div> <bR> <div> Meowth: Gulp………I always thought I had a lot of charm……… (They tackle him) </div> <bR> <div> (Meanwhile, our heroes have come to a strange, treeless clearing in the woods. The Umbreon is standing there; looking scared as Matt confidently produces a Pokéball) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: You’re mine now. </div> <bR> <div> Ian: MATT! We finally found you! </div> <bR> <div> (Suddenly they hear another eerie howl, but this one is higher-pitched and much closer. A pair of eyes appears behind the Umbreon and it backs away. Several other pairs of eyes appear, followed by the crunching of underbrush) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Let’s get out of here……… (She turns back the way they came, but three vicious-looking Pokémon are barring her way. They are dogs with skulls on their brows and sharp, gleaming teeth) </div> <bR> <div> Ash: What are they? (Whips out Pokédex) </div> <bR> <div> Dexter: Houndour, the Dark Dog Pokémon. To corner prey, they check each other's location using barks that only they can understand. </div> <bR> <div> Brock: How about that, it looks like that’s what happened……… </div> <bR> <div> Pikachu: Pika……… </div> <bR> <div> Umbreon: Um-breeee……… </div> <bR> <div> Beta Houndour: Houndourrrrrrrr!!! (The Houndours close in on them) </div> <bR> <div> (The ground begins to rumble. A huge crack appears in the earth under our heroes.) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Does that lead where I think it leads? </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Well, we’re gonna find out in .000000093 seconds anyway. (They fall down the crack with the Umbreon, screaming all the way.) </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: Oh no! What has happened to our heroes? Well, right now they’re tied up and surrounded by two score hungry little devil doggies! </div> <bR> <div> Ian: You know, the usual. </div> <bR> <div> Umbreon: (hogtied) Ummmmmmm……… </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Poor little Umby………we’ll get you out of here. </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Wait a minute. How did Houndours who have no opposable digits tie us up? </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: Don’t ask me, lady. I only read the lines, not write them! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Must………reach………translator………(He reaches for the translator on his belt. His little finger his little finger manages to tap the button) </div> <bR> <div> Translator: THE TRANSLATOR IS NOW INITIATED. POKéMON SPEECH CAN BE UNDERSTOOD BY HUMANS FOR THE REST OF THE FIC. </div> <bR> <div> (Our heroes suddenly hear tons of conversation) </div> <bR> <div> Houndour #1: ………the moon is out, isn’t it just lovely?……… </div> <bR> <div> Houndour #2: ………what those things are, wonder if they taste good……… </div> <bR> <div> Houndour #3: ………getting hungry, the Umbreon and mouse look delicious……… </div> <bR> <div> Matt: That doesn’t sound good. </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Wonder who the leader of this pack is……… </div> <bR> <div> OWLOOOOOONDOOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!! (The Houndour snap to attention) </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Speak of the devil! </div> <bR> <div> (Two Houndours, male and female, appear from the shadows on top of an elevated rock. Two other creatures, male and female, follow them out, and they look devilish indeed. They look like larger, sleeker Houndours with curved horns. The Houndour cheer by howling and barking) </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Devil dog is more like it! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: What are those things? </div> <bR> <div> Misty: They’re bigger and scarier looking, so that’s not a good sign! </div> <bR> <div> Dexter: Houndoom, Houndour’s evolution. The pungent-smelling flame it shoots from its mouth results from toxins burning in its body. If they burn you, the pain will never go away. </div> <bR> <div> All Houndours: ALL HAIL THE ROYAL FAMILY! </div> <bR> <div> Pikachu: Royal family? </div> <bR> <div> Houndour #3: Yeah, the leaders of the pack. King Hellsbreath, Queen Moonfang, Prince Blackflame, and Princess Darkclaw. (Licks his lips) By the way, mousey, you look delicious tonight. </div> <bR> <div> Pikachu: Grrrrr……… </div> <bR> <div> Brock: (gulps) They sound like a lovely family……… </div> <bR> <div> (The male Houndoom lets out another howl.) </div> <bR> <div> Hellsbreath: LISTEN UP! (The room gets quiet) These………humans have trespassed on our territory! First they try to destroy our hunting grounds, and then they almost denied us a good meal! (Grins evilly) How ironic that now we will not only have they prey we were pursuing, but we get some of these humans to eat as well! (The pack cheers again) </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Listen here, Hellsbreath! We didn’t try to bulldoze your forest! It was M. U. Kingly that tried to! </div> <bR> <div> Hellsbreath: (stunned) So………you understand us. </div> <bR> <div> Blackflame: I wondered when some humans might wise up to our language. Considering how they’re sooooooo smart……… (A bunch of Houndours snicker) Heck, we even captured them real easy! </div> <bR> <div> Moonfang: What a pity that you must be eaten even though you’re the first people to understand our language. Our pack doesn’t like to go hungry, you know. </div> <bR> <div> (The Houndours move in, drooling) </div> <bR> <div> Hellsbreath: The humans were fine while they left us alone, but they have tried to take away the forest, our only home! Now they must! </div> <bR> <div> Brock: This looks like the end……… </div> <bR> <div> Ian: And all because of that Kingly- (curse) </div> <bR> <div> Pikachu: IAN! </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Don’t worry, I can reach one of my Pokéballs! (Yells up to Houndoom) Oh yeah, your Highnesses? Let’s see you fight off my champion! </div> <bR> <div> Hellsbreath: How amusing. Send out your so-called “champion”. </div> <bR> <div> Blackflame: But before you do, I’ll tell you that many Pokémon have fallen to the Royal Family of the Dark Forest! </div> <bR> <div> Misty: This one won’t do that! POKéBALL, GO!!! (It opens) </div> <bR> <div> Psyduck: PSYYYY!!!! </div> <bR> <div> Everyone else: (big sweat drop) </div> <bR> <div> All the Houndours: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! </div> <bR> <div> Hellsbreath: THAT is your champion?! HAH! My darling daughter, show them the price of empty threats! </div> <bR> <div> Darkclaw: Of course, Daddy! (Leaps down and faces Psyduck) I haven’t had roast duck in forever………but let’s tenderize you first! (She Bites Psyduck) </div> <bR> <div> Psyduck: OWWWWIIIEEE!!!!!! (Falls over) </div> <bR> <div> Darkclaw: Awww, did that hurt? (Stands back) Go ahead, clean shot. </div> <bR> <div> Psyduck: You meanie, DIEEEE!!! </div> <bR> <div> (Psyduck flies into Darkclaw with a Scratch attack. She lowers her head and flips Psyduck over before the attack lands. The Houndours roll with laughter as Psyduck lands on his head) </div> <bR> <div> Darkclaw: HAH! Nice try, you stupid duck. Now chew on this! </div> <bR> <div> (Darkclaw Headbutts Psyduck. He flies into a wall headfirst. The Houndour laugh some more) </div> <bR> <div> Houndour #4: Haha, bake him now, Darkie! </div> <bR> <div> Other Houndours: YEAH! </div> <bR> <div> Darkclaw: Sounds good………(powers up Flamethrower) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Psyduck……… </div> <bR> <div> Psyduck: Ohhhh, my head………RRRRR……… </div> <bR> <div> Darkclaw: Eh? </div> <bR> <div> Psyduck: (his eyes glow) MY HEAD HURTS! NOW YOU’LL GET IT!!! </div> <bR> <div> Darkclaw: Burn in hell, duckie!!! (Rears head back to spit flames) </div> <bR> <div> Psyduck: I think not……… </div> <bR> <div> (Psyduck uses Disable. Darkclaw’s fiery attack sticks in her throat.) </div> <bR> <div> Psyduck: NOW TAKE THIS!!!!! </div> <bR> <div> (Psyduck spits a large Water Gun attack. It blasts the princess and smashes her into a wall. When the stream subsides, Darkclaw is slumped against the stone, unconscious.) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Psyduck won? </div> <bR> <div> Matt: PSYDUCK WON! </div> <bR> <div> Hellsbreath: The duck won??? </div> <bR> <div> Psyduck: I won?………I beat a tough Houndour………I feel strong………(begins to glow) </div> <bR> <div> Brock: You don’t think……… </div> <bR> <div> Josh: That Psyduck’s……… </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Evolving? </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Must be. </div> <bR> <div> (Psyduck turns large, blue, and slim. He has a red jewel in the center of his head now.) </div> <bR> <div> Dexter: Golduck: an evolved Duck Pokémon. It appears by waterways at dusk. It may use telekinetic powers if its forehead glows mysteriously. </div> <bR> <div> Our heroes: ALL RIGHT PSYDUCK!!! </div> <bR> <div> Misty: My little Psyduck is all grown up………(sniff) </div> <bR> <div> Hellsbreath: ……………… </div> <bR> <div> Moonfang: (over by Darkclaw) Darkclaw? Speak to me, daughter……… </div> <bR> <div> Blackflame: Should we get them, Dad? </div> <bR> <div> Hellsbreath: ……………… (eyes aflame) KILL THEM!!!!!!! OWLOOOOOON!!!!!!!! </div> <bR> <div> (The Houndours attack. Golduck cuts though the ropes with his claws) </div> <bR> <div> Golduck: You’ll have to take us first, punk! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Looks like a battle! Go Squirtle! </div> <bR> <div> Brock: Go Geodude! </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Go Politoed! </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Go Slowking and Marril! </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Go Wooper! </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Go Starmie! Oh, and you too, Golduck! </div> <bR> <div> (A huge Pokémon fight breaks out between our heroes and the Houndours, led by Prince Blackflame.) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: We better take out the King and Queen. Starmie, lead the way! Golduck, cover me! </div> <bR> <div> (Starmie cuts through the pack, shooting water in all directions. Misty follows it, and Golduck brings up the rear, blasting any Houndours that get too close. They make their way to the throne.) </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: In another section of the battle……… </div> <bR> <div> Brock: Come on Ash, we can get ‘em! Geodude, Rock Throw! </div> <bR> <div> Geodude: GEO! (Huge boulders fell several Houndours) </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Squirtle’s Water Gun attack isn’t holding up! We need more fire-er, waterpower! </div> <bR> <div> (A Houndour screams as a jet of water brings it down.) </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Need some help? </div> <bR> <div> Wooper: Hey guys! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: All right! Squirtle, Wooper, combine your Water Gun attacks! </div> <bR> <div> Squirtle: OKAY! </div> <bR> <div> Wooper: LET’S GO! </div> <bR> <div> (They fire at the same time. The combined power of the attacks blasts through the enemy with the power of a fire hose. Meanwhile the Houndour from earlier sneaks up on Pikachu.) </div> <bR> <div> Houndour #3: I have you now, mousey. OWWWWNNNNDOURRRR!!! (He pounces, and meets a Thunderbolt on the way down) </div> <bR> <div> Pikachu: (grins) You gotta do better than that. </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: Brock, Ash, and Ian are doing well, but Matt is having a tougher time……… </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Slowking, get ‘em! Marril, keep it up! </div> <bR> <div> Slowking: They just keep coming! </div> <bR> <div> Marril: I’m getting………so tired……… </div> <bR> <div> Matt: You better return before you get hurt. (Recalls him) </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: And as for the other side, the arrogant Prince Blackflame has realized the battle is not going his way……… </div> <bR> <div> Blackflame: Who are you calling arrogant? How could a handsome, charming, powerful Houndour like me be arrogant??? </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: I’m not even answering that……… </div> <bR> <div> Blackflame: (yelling at his underlings) YOU WEAKLINGS! YOU FOOLS! YOU CAN’T LOSE TO HUMANS! Do I have to do everything myself?! </div> <bR> <div> (Blackflame leaps into the fray. He comes upon Matt and his Slowking and lands a vicious Bite on the royal Pokémon. This proves to be the last straw for the tired creature, and it faints. Matt recalls it as Blackflame licks his chops.) </div> <bR> <div> Blackflame: You will be the first to die! </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Oh yeah? (Him and Politoed appear) Why not come after me? I’m much tastier. </div> <bR> <div> Blackflame: Was that a challenge, you fleshy fool? </div> <bR> <div> Politoed: (smirks) I believe it was, you royal brat! </div> <bR> <div> (Blackflame roars in anger and charges Politoed. The frog Pokémon nimbly sidesteps the attack, and Blackflame eats dirt.) </div> <bR> <div> Blackflame: Upstart! You will pay for insulting Prince Blackflame!! </div> <bR> <div> (He spits an Ember attack. Politoed flinches in pain, for bratty and arrogant as Blackflame may be, he is no pushover.) </div> <bR> <div> Politoed: Errrrr………lemme soak him, Josh! </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Just a Bubble attack. I want him conscious. (Winks) </div> <bR> <div> Politoed: If you say so……… </div> <bR> <div> (Blackface is hurt badly by the Bubble attack. He blinks to get them out of his eyes) </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Quick, bowl him over with Headbutt! </div> <bR> <div> (Blackflame is knocked off his feet. Josh throws his Friend Ball at him.) </div> <bR> <div> Blackflame: NOOOOOOO………(Blackflame is sucked inside. The ball wiggles madly for several seconds before stopping and losing its light.) </div> <bR> <div> Josh: Hot diggety dog, I got me a Houndour! </div> <bR> <div> (By now all the Houndours are KO’d or have run away. Everyone looks around the limp and soggy bodies at each other. Then Ash and Brock see their Pokémon) </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Could it be……… </div> <bR> <div> Brock: At long last……… </div> <bR> <div> Wartortle: I AM WARTORTLE!! </div> <bR> <div> Graveler: AND I AM GRAVELER!! </div> <bR> <div> Ash and Brock: OUR POKéMON HAVE FINALLY EVOLVED!!! (They hug their Pokémon and cry flood-tears. Wartortle and Graveler look at each other and roll their eyes.) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: You let us out now, Hellsbreath. You have nowhere to run. </div> <bR> <div> Hellsbreath: (maddeningly angry) YOU DEFEATED THEM ALL! ALL OUR CHILDREN!! NOW YOU MUST PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE!!! </div> <bR> <div> (Hellsbreath shoots a huge Flamethrower attack at Misty. Golduck shoves her out of harm’s way just in time while Starmie silences the king with a Hydro Pump attack.) </div> <bR> <div> Starmie: THAT’LL teach you to hurt my master! </div> <bR> <div> Golduck: (holding Misty) You okay, Misty? </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Yeah………he barely missed me………You okay? </div> <bR> <div> Golduck: He got me a little………(shows her a burn on his arm) </div> <bR> <div> (Suddenly, like a streak of black lightning, Moonfang is upon Starmie and knocks it out with a single Crunch attack, showing why they call her Moonfang.) </div> <bR> <div> Golduck: STARMIE, NO!!! (Golduck tackles Moonfang and rips at her with Fury Swipes. When the queen finally kicks him off, he responds with a Bubblebeam attack. Moonfang faints.) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Starmie, return. (It does) That was close. </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Yeah. </div> <bR> <div> (Umvbreon walks up to Matt) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Hey, Umby! Thanks for saving me back there. Is it okay if I call you Umby? </div> <bR> <div> Umbreon: Sure………and saving you was no prob………You know, I’m starting to like ya. (Licks Matt’s face) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Heh, thanks. Sorry about trying to catch you earlier……… </div> <bR> <div> Umbreon: Nah, the chase was good for me. And to be honest, I was leading you guys here. </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Really?! </div> <bR> <div> Umbreon: Yes. The Houndours were talking about attacking the humans the other night. I feared that it may be soon, and as I do not like to see loss of life, Dark-type as I may be, I hoped I could get someone into the woods to stop them. </div> <bR> <div> Brock: (looks scared) Uh, guys………I dunno if they’re stopped yet……… </div> <bR> <div> (Brock points into the dark corners of the cavern. Houndours start emerging from the shadows) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: No way. There can’t be more of them. Not after all that. </div> <bR> <div> Umbreon: The Houndour are numerous, but I had no idea there were this many! </div> <bR> <div> Josh: They must have gotten away from the battle earlier! </div> <bR> <div> Matt: And our Pokémon are wiped……… </div> <bR> <div> Golduck: I’ll protect ya, Mist. </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Thanks, Golduck. (Gets watery eyes) </div> <bR> <div> Houndour #4: THEY’VE ATTACKED OUR KINGDOM! THEY MUST NEVER SEE THE SURFACE AGAIN!!! </div> <bR> <div> Our heroes: RUNNNNNN!!!!!!! </div> <bR> <div> (Our heroes run away from the Houndours. Obviously. I mean, standing around and letting evil dogs eat you alive is not all that fun.) </div> <bR> <div> Umbreon: (points up an underground cliff) I see daylight up there! We can escape! </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Let’s do it fast then-AHH! (Misty trips over a rock. The dogs swarm over her) </div> <bR> <div> Golduck and Ash: MISTY!!! </div> <bR> <div> (Golduck jumps into the middle of the Houndours and knocks several off Misty. He’s spitting water, swiping, punching, kicking, fighting like a maniac. Ash pulls Misty away from the battle) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Golduck! We gotta help him! </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Pikachu, knock ‘em off with Thundershock! Don’t hit Golduck! </div> <bR> <div> Pikachu: You got it, Ash! PIKAAACHUUUUUU!!!!!!! (The somewhat weak, yet precise attack paralyzes several Houndours and they fall down the cliffside. Golduck bats the rest off and climbs up after our heroes.) </div> <bR> <div> (They climb up the cliff and escape out the fissure. It closes shut by some unseen force, leaving the snarling Houndours behind.) </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Now, (looks angry) you stupid duck………(Golduck cringes, expecting the usual whack on the head) You jumped in front of a Houndoom’s Flamethrower, beat up its mate, and after that, you jump in the middle of a pack of the crazy devil dogs! You get burned, bit, scratched, and electrocuted, put yourself in danger countless time like a total idiot………(suddenly she smiles) ………Thank you, Golduck. (Kisses him on the bill) </div> <bR> <div> Golduck: Well, shucks………(blushes) ‘Twas nothin’. </div> <bR> <div> Everyone else: AWWWWWW……… </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Oh, shut up. Can we go now? </div> <bR> <div> Umbreon: Sure, I’ll show you the way out. </div> <bR> <div> (The sun is coming up as our heroes come to the edge of our forest) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Well………I guess this is goodbye, Umby. </div> <bR> <div> Umbreon: I think not. (Jumps into Matt’s arms) I didn’t want to before, but………I wanna go with you now! (Licks his face) </div> <bR> <div> Matt: Awww, Umby………welcome to my now-full team! (Puts him in a Pokéball) </div> <bR> <div> (They go to the Pokémon Center) </div> <bR> <div> Ash: ………And that’s what happened, Nurse Joy. </div> <bR> <div> Joy: My, my, my! That’s quite a night. You’re going to need your Pokémon healed………but first………Where is this infamous Psyduck my sisters have told me about that has become the heroic Golduck? </div> <bR> <div> Misty: Of course! (Misty calls out Golduck. He looks pretty beat up) </div> <bR> <div> Joy: Wow, are you okay? </div> <bR> <div> Golduck: Sure………rough night. (Gives a thumbs-up) </div> <bR> <div> Joy: I’ll heal all of them right away. (Puts them in the machine and comes back) Now, we must take this story to the council……… </div> <bR> <div> (Many hours later………) </div> <bR> <div> Head of the City Council: Nurse Joy’s argument was most impressive and well-thought. For the safety of our citizens-and the Pokémon of Dark Forest-the contract with Marsha Uma Kingly is now closed! (He tears it in half) </div> <bR> <div> Joy: Sorry, Miss Muk! (Sticks her tongue out at her) </div> <bR> <div> Marsha: (grumbles things I better not type and storms off) </div> <bR> <div> Ian: Well, the day is saved again, Psyduck, Squirtle, and Graveler evolved, and Josh and Matt caught new Pokémon. A good, long fic’s work. </div> <bR> <div> Ash: Guess it’s over. Let’s go get ready for our next adventure. We need a break. </div> <bR> <div> (They walk off into the sunset) </div> <bR> <div> Narrator: Yes, it’s over for our heroes. But as for Team Rocket……… </div> <bR> <div> James: Jessie, are we ever going to get out of here? </div> <bR> <div> Jessie: How would I know?
