"I can't believe that this used to be<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> the Meowth that made my underling life and my royal life a living<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> heck!" said Jessie.</div> <div> "It's like the defective VCR remote that gets stuck on pause that<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> forces you to unplug it", said Reiko feeling a little pity for the poor<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Meowth.

And she released Kadabra from its Pokeball.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "Kadabra", said Jessie, "I need you to teleport Meowth back to the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> palace so he can get treated. Also bring James here too. Team Rocket<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> just wouldn't be the same unless we have 3 members."</div> <div> "Kadabra!" replied Kadabra as it picked up the paralyzed Meowth by the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> tail and disappeared from the two Rocket girls' sights.</div> <div> * * * * * *</div> <div> James was in his room having his own private fashion show. He was<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> trying on Jessie's dresses and walking around like he was in Paris.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "Aren't I something you'd wanna take home to Mamma?" said James slyly<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> as he admired himself in a sleeveless red gown with matching gloves and<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> pearls. Just then, Kadabra materialized right in front of him.</div> <div> "What is this, some kind of funhouse mirror?" asked James wondering<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> when he grew such a large bushy mustache. "Kadabra!" said Kadabra as<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> it grabbed James's bare shoulder and teleported away with him.</div> <div> * * * * * *</div> <div> James suddenly found himself in a grassy field along with Jessie and<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Reiko. "What on my queen's great throne are you doing in that dress?!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> asked Reiko.</div> <div> "That's my favorite red gown!" shouted Jessie with fire in her eyes.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "What are you doing in it?!!!"</div> <div> "Uh, I just wanted to be like you?" James said quickly while sweating<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> all over her expensive dress.</div> <div> "If you've stretched it out of shape, I'll...." Shouted Jessie ready to<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> strangle James's delicate neck.</div> <div> "Did I ever tell you that your eyes match the color of this dress?"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> said James trying to save his skin. "Or is it just because you're mad<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> right now? Oh gee, I put my high heel in my mouth!" Jessie grabbed the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> bottom of the dress and yanked it off James's body. Then the girls<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> became even more shocked when they saw James wearing nothing but high<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> heels, a pink bra, and flowery panties. "Don't worry Jess", said James,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "These undergarments are mine!"</div> <div> * * * * * *</div> <div> Meanwhile Cameron and friends were pedaling down a road enjoying a nice<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> day in this animated world. Cameron thought he could hear the cute<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> music they played in the Gameboy whenever his character got on a<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> bicycle.</div> <div> "Why do we always keep hearing this strange music every time we get on<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> bikes?" asked Misty.</div> <div> "You can hear it too?!" said Cameron surprised. Just then a figure<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> that looked like a little boy was standing in the middle of the road.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "Hey, get out of the way!" shouted Jenny, but the boy just wouldn't<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> budge. Everyone was forced to swerve out of the way. Seymour crashed<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> into Cameron and Brock, while Stella crashed into Jenny and Misty<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> causing poor Bill to fly out of Misty's basket and hit a nearby tree.</div> <div> "Could somebody get the license number of that boy's butt?" asked Bill<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> all dazed.</div> <div> Everyone pedaled back to the boy in a clump of body and bicycle parts<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> while the background music was totally messed up as well. "Just what<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> do you think you're doing?!" shouted Misty who was the first to crawl<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> out of the pile. "Didn't you see us?! Why didn't you move out of the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> way?!!!"</div> <div> The boy was an eight year old dressed in a blue suit with blue shorts<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> and a red bow tie. He just turned his nose up at Misty and said, "Why<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> didn't you all move out of my way?"</div> <div> "Why you little..." grumbled Misty as she was about to dig out her large<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> mallet from her tiny pocket until Brock and Cameron held her back.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "Take it easy Misty", said Brock, "He's only a kid."</div> <div> "Yes", said the boy, "Listen to the dorky looking guy with no eyeballs!"</div> <div> "Why you little..." grumbled Brock as he pulled the mallet from Misty's<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> pocket and was ready to turn the little smart-mouth into a pancake<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> until Jenny stopped him.</div> <div> "I should give you a ticket for obstructing a road", said Jenny as she<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> took out a pad and pen, "What's your name and who are your parents?"</div> <div> "Kingston Frederick Silph", said the boy proudly. Jenny quickly put<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> away her pad and pen and said, "My apologies master Silph, I meant no<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> disrespect."</div> <div> "WHAAAT!" shouted Misty, "Are you gonna let some snot nosed brat tell<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> MMMGGLPH!!!" Jenny had covered Misty's mouth and gathered all her<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> friends around her while Kingston stood there smirking.</div> <div> "What's wrong Jenny?" asked Cameron, "Is that little boy important?"</div> <div> "You'd better believe it!" said Jenny nervously, "That there is the son<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> of Mr. Silph!"</div> <div> "Not thee Mr. Silph?!!" gasped Stella, "The richest and most powerful<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> man in the world?!" Cameron remembered the Silph building from his game<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> and how the Rockets took it over and made the supposedly richest and<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> most powerful man in the world their hostage.</div> <div> "And that boy is very powerful too", said Jenny, "If I upset him, I<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> could lose my badge!"</div> <div> "Well I certainly don't have a badge he can take away!" growled Misty<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> as she was about to march over and slug the kid until Jenny stopped her.</div> <div> "And if you upset him, he could get all your info from the net and do<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> unpleasant things to you and your family", Jenny warned her, "People<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> and even kids with money can do that!"</div> <div> "Can you imagine if Team Rocket owned all that money?" thought Cameron<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> imagining a huge electric wall surrounding the entire Earth.</div> <div> "Uh, excuse me", said Kingston, "There's a rich and powerful boy here<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> that no one's paying any attention to!" Everyone looked down at the boy<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> who was looking very bratty. "I came out here to chase all you<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> trespassers off of my property!"</div> <div> "What property?" asked Stella, "All we see are trees and a dirt road.</div> <div> Kingston just took out a cell-phone and dialed it. "Cedric", said<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Kingston, "Move the dwelling over to where I'm standing please."<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Suddenly, a huge mansion on wheels drove over the trees and stopped<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> right in the middle of the road. The wheels folded up and the mansion<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> just plopped down there. "There's nothing like blocking a simple road<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> so you can have a new outlook through your bedroom window. Isn't that<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> right Officer?" said Kingston with a smug look on his face.</div> <div> "You're so right Master Silph", said Jenny trying to stay as pleasant<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> as she can while deep inside she was bubbling like a volcano. "Well if<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> you'll excuse us, we'll all be on our way."</div> <div> "Not so fast!" said Kingston as he jumped in front of Cameron and on<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> his toes. Cameron tried to hold in the pain without yelping. "You've<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> got Pokeballs on your belt", said Kingston, "Anyone who dares trespass<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> on my property must challenge me to a Pokemon battle. What do you say?"</div> <div> "Sure, anything", said Cameron hoping that would get this little brat<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> off his feet. Kingston rang a little bell and a butler suddenly sped<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> out of the mansion holding a velvet pillow. On it were three Pokeballs<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> covered with gold, silver, and bronze.</div> <div> "Thank you Cedric", said Kingston as he took the gold ball from the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> pile. "Go Bellsprout!" he shouted as he released a tiny Venus-Fly trap<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> with a yellow head and something around its neck that looked like a<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> tiny crown.</div> <div> "What's that thing around the Bellsprout's neck?" asked Seymour.</div> <div> "It's my official King's Symbol to show that these Pokemon are my<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> property!" said Kingston. "A labcoat wearing peon like yourself<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> wouldn't know of such things." Seymour was about to blow his top along<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> with the testtubes and beakers he had in his coat. "So are we gonna<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> battle or are you just gonna gawk at my riches since you're obviously<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> not gonna get any anytime soon you common loser?"</div> <div> Cameron started to feel the rage too. "All right", he said angrily,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "V. P, let's show this kid and his plant what this common loser can do!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> He released his Vileplume who made a fighting "VILE!"</div> <div> "You call that a plant?" scoffed Kingston, "My gardener eats Pokemon<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> like that for breakfast. I should know, since he works for minimum<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> wage. Bellsprout, razor leaf now!"</div> <div> "Bell!" said Bellsprout as it started flinging razor sharp leaves at<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> V. P. "Quick V. P." shouted Cameron, "Use your cut attack!"</div> <div> "VILE!!" shouted V. P. as it started spinning around like a top<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> shredding up the leaves with its huge petals. V. P. then started<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> spinning right at Bellsprout ready to do the same thing to it.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "BELLSPROUT!!!" cried Bellsprout as it ran around trying to escape the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> spinning red petals of doom.</div> <div> "Bellsprout, return", said Kingston with a mean look on his face as he<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> pulled Bellsprout back in its gold ball.</div> <div> "I guess this means you'll think twice before bad mouthing another<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> commoner again", said Cameron proudly as he patted his happy Vileplume<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> while all his friends were smiling at Kingston's defeat.</div> <div> "You were just lucky!" grumbled Kingston as he took the silver ball.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "And I'm gonna prove to you that money and snobbish ways will always<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> win! Go Shellder!" Out popped a cute little clam that also had<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Kingston's symbol stuck on its shell.</div> <div> "A water type", said Cameron, "That should be easy for you V. P. Use<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> your mega-drain!"</div> <div> V. P. was about to suck the water out of Shellder's shell until<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Kingston shouted out, "Shellder, aurora beam now!" Shellder launched a<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> cold multi-colored beam at V. P. causing it to shiver and faint.</div> <div> "Oh no, V. P!" cried Cameron as he hugged his slightly frosted flower.</div> <div> "Any Pokemon genius would know that Shellders also have ice attacks and<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> it wouldn't be a good idea to send grass Pokemon against it!" laughed<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Kingston, "Maybe I should have you sent off to Oxford to get some<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> brains. That is if I didn't hate charity! HA HA HA HA!"</div> <div> "This kid is just as bad as Gary", thought Misty and then she thought<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> about and missed the rivalry of Gary and Ash.</div> <div> "Okay then, I choose you Slowie!" said Cameron as he released his<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Slowpoke.</div> <div> "Uh, oh", said Seymour, "Sending a Slowpoke to battle a Shellder could<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> lead to trouble!"</div> <div> "That Slowpoke looks totally dim", laughed Kingston, "Must be related<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> to you!"</div> <div> "Yes, you could say that", said Cameron as he saw Slowie looking up at<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> his mamma's face. "Okay Slowie", said Cameron, "How about giving that<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Shellder a tri-attack?"</div> <div> "Slow", replied Slowie as he launched his triangle of energy at the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> unmoving clam.</div> <div> "Shellder, withdraw now!" commanded Kingston. Shellder closed its<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> shell tight and glowed. The speeding triangle suddenly bounced off of<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Shellder like a pea and struck back at Slowie knocking him over on his<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> back.</div> <div> "You all right Slowie?" asked Cameron. "Slowpoke!" replied Slowie who<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> didn't feel any pain at all. That is until a few seconds later.</div> <div> "Okay Shellder", said Kingston, "Finish that Slowpoke off with a clamp<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> attack!"</div> <div> "NO, DON'T USE CLAMP!!!" cried Seymour. But it was too late. Shellder<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> had clamped on good and hard at Slowie's tail. Suddenly, both Slowie<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> and Shellder started to merge together.</div> <div> "Slowie, what's happening to you?!" cried Cameron. When the merging<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> was completed, there was Slowie now standing on his hind legs with the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Shellder stuck on his butt, only it was now spiral shaped instead of<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> bivalve shaped. "Slowbro?" replied Slowie.</div> <div> "Yes", sighed Seymour, "When a Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> you've got an instant Slowbro."</div> <div> "Cool!" smiled Kingston in a mean smile, "I got me a brand new<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Pokemon!" He said as he hugged the shell part of Slowbro.</div> <div> "Wait a minute!" said Cameron angrily, "Slowie is my son, I mean<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Pokemon!"</div> <div> "But Shellder here is mine!" said Kingston as he took out a stamp and<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> stamped his trademark King's Symbol on Slowie's left bottom leg. "And<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> this mark shows he's mine!"</div> <div> "If your Shellder hadn't clamped onto my Slowpoke, this wouldn't've<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> happened!" shouted Cameron.</div> <div> "You were the one who was dumb enough to send a Slowpoke to battle my<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Shellder in the first place!" shouted Kingston as he clutched onto<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Slowie. "So whoever caused the blunder first should pay the price!"</div> <div> "You're already rich, so you can afford paying for it!" shouted Cameron<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> as he grabbed onto Slowie while Kingston clutched onto Shellder causing<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> an all out tug-of-war while Slowie was completely clueless to what was<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> going on. All that stretching felt kind of relaxing to him.</div> <div> The two boys suddenly stopped when they heard Jenny blow her whistle.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "All right you two", she shouted, "You must stop this before you tear<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> that poor Slowbro apart! There must be some way we can settle this!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Just then, a huge white limo that was as long as three Onixes drove up.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Out stepped a man in a business suit with a cell phone attached to his<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> shoulder.</div> <div> "Daddy!" cried Kingston as he hugged the man's leg crying, what was<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> obviously fake tears.</div> <div> "Hello son", said Mr. Silph as he patted his son's black hair, "Say,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> did you move our mansion to another location again? I like it!"</div> <div> "That's not important right now Father!" said Kingston. "I need your<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> help on getting these mean bullies off our property!"</div> <div> "Oh really?" said Mr. Silph, "And just what have you all been doing to<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> my poor little angel?"</div> <div> "You mean poor little fallen angel", grumbled Misty.</div> <div> "Mr. Silph", said Jenny while holding her badge, "Your son and my<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> friend here have gotten themselves in an unusual predicament with their<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Shellder and Slowpoke and we need to find some way to dissolve this<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> matter." And she pointed to the Slowbro who sat there looking dopey at<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> the richest man in the world.</div> <div> "I see", said Mr. Silph, "Kingston, tell your daddy how all of this<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> happened."</div> <div> "Well", said Kingston in pretend sobs, "I saw these poor citizens<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> injured from a bad bicycle accident so I brought our mansion over here<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> to help them out in any way I can. But that kid with the glasses sent<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> his Slowpoke to attack me so I had no choice to send out Shellder to<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> protect myself. That Slowpoke suddenly got his tail stuck in<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Shellder's unsuspecting mouth causing my poor little Pokemon to become<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> this new type. And now they want to take away my poor Shellder.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> WAAAAAAH!!!"</div> <div> "That's all a big lie!" shouted Cameron angrily, "He was the one that<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> challenged me to a match and ordered his Shellder to clamp onto Slowie!"</div> <div> "It's just like a big sweatshirt wearing bully to say such a thing!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> cried Kingston, "Please don't let him take away my poor Shellder!"</div> <div> "Don't worry son, I'll handle this", said Mr. Silph as he took out his<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> checkbook, wrote out a check, and handed it to Cameron. "Here you go",<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> he said, "Here's a check for 25 cents if you'll let my son keep this<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Slowbro and all you ruffians never set foot on my property again.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Wherever Kingston decides to put it next time."</div> <div> "No way!" shouted Cameron, "Slowie here is my friend and he'd be<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> horribly devastated if he ever has to leave me! Isn't that right<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Slowie?"</div> <div> "Slowbro?" said Slowie who still had no idea about the trouble he was<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> in.</div> <div> "I guess that shows how much he cares about you", laughed Kingston.</div> <div> "I know how to settle this", said Mr. Silph. "You boys will have a one<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> against one Pokemon match. And the winner gets to keep Slowbro.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> What do you say?"</div> <div> "No way!" cried Kingston, "I don't want any of my other Pokemon to be<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> infected like poor Shellder!"</div> <div> "That won't happen if you use You Know Who!" smiled Mr. Silph winking<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> at his son.</div> <div> "I'm in", said Kingston in a now happy, nasty mood, "How about you<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> geek?"</div> <div> "You got it", said Cameron desperately wanting to win Slowie back from<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> this mean brat.</div> <div> "You have to win", Jenny whispered into Cameron's ear, "Slowie has<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Sabrina's special mindzero attack installed in his head. Without it,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> we won't be a match against Mewtwo!"</div> <div> "And this time, try not to send out a Pokemon that might fuse with<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> his", said Bill.</div> <div> "No problem", said Cameron knowing the perfect Pokemon that hardly lets<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> him down. "Sandy, I choose you!" and Sandy popped on the ground ready<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> for battle.</div> <div> "Is that your best Pokemon?" laughed Kingston as he took the bronze<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> ball from the pillow Cedric was holding. "Let's see how it does against<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> DITTO!" and he released a tiny lump of pink jelly that had Kingston's<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> official King's Symbol on it as well!</div> <div> "A Ditto?" asked Cameron as he took out his Pokedex.</div> <div> "DITTO: The transforming Pokemon", replied Dexeena, "Capable of copying<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> an enemy's genetic code to transform itself instantly into a duplicate<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> of the enemy."</div> <div> And Ditto demonstrated by transforming into an exact copy of Sandy.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Only it still had its King's Symbol on its chest.</div> <div> "You'd better watch yourself Sandy", Cameron whispered to him. "Not<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> only does that Ditto look like you, it also now knows all of your very<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> attacks."</div> <div> "Shrew?" said Sandy nervously.</div> <div> "Ditto, launch any attacks you now know at that mouse!" smiled<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Kingston. "SHREW!" said Ditto as it dug underground ready to attack<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Sandy from where he was standing.</div> <div> "HA!", laughed Kingston, "It looks like your precious little<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Sandshrew's about to be done in by its own specialty attack! And<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> there's no way it can strike back from up here!"</div> <div> "I wouldn't count on it!" smiled Cameron, "Sandy, get 'em with swift<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> attack!"</div> <div> "Shrew!" shouted Sandy as he threw his swift stars down in the hole<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Ditto just made. They all heard a loud, "DITTTO!" and out popped the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Ditto back to its jelly like self with little glowing stars stuck in it<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> like a Jello-mold.</div> <div> "Don't worry Ditto", said Kingston, "I've got something that should<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> make you feel a whole lot better!" and he showed Ditto the front of a<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> comic book that had the picture of a giant Japanese robot on it.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Ditto suddenly transformed into a 12 foot tall robot with guns on its<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> wrists. It said, "DITTO" in a computerized voice. Sandy looked<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> terrified at his new opponent.</div> <div> "Hey, that's not fair!" whined Cameron, "That isn't even a Pokemon<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Ditto transformed into!"</div> <div> "According to the League rules, anything a Ditto transforms into is<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> perfectly legal", said Mr. Silph.</div> <div> "Thanks Daddy!" said Kingston with a mean victorious smile, "Ditto,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> finish him off!"</div> <div> "DITTO!" said Ditto as it shot its wrist guns and laser eye beams at<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Sandy who was successfully dodging every blow. Everyone ducked out of<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> the way as Ditto's blasts hit the limo as well as the entire west wing<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> of the mansion.</div> <div> "Oh dear", said Mr. Silph, "And I had this year's tax forms in that<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> room. Oh well, there's always next year."</div> <div> Cameron uncovered his eyes and found that Sandy was nowhere to be seen.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "Sandy?!" cried Cameron. Everyone looked around for Cameron's missing<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Sandshrew. Even Ditto was looking around for its opponent. Cameron<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> suddenly saw Sandy who was clinging onto Ditto's back.</div> <div> "Shhhhh!" whispered Sandy as he smiled and placed a claw up to his<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> lips. Cameron smiled as he saw Sandy spraying some sand into the open<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> vents of Ditto's robot back. Suddenly Ditto started to blow fuses all<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> over the place dancing around out of control. Sandy jumped off just in<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> time as Ditto exploded leaving gobs of pink jelly covering the entire<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> area. It was all over everyone.</div> <div> "Yeeech!" said Stella, "Anyone got any peanut butter?" Then the jelly<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> crawled off of everyone and reverted back to the tiny little Ditto who<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> suddenly fainted.</div> <div> "No Ditto!" cried Kingston. "You have to keep fighting! My reputation<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> is at stake!"</div> <div> Mr. Silph bent down and examined Ditto, "I'm sorry son", he said, "But<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> this Ditto's out for the count. I guess that means this young man wins<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> the Slowbro."</div> <div> All of our heroes cheered for joy, especially Cameron who hugged Sandy<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> for his biggest triumph of all and Slowie for he wasn't going to lose<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> him after all.</div> <div> "Best two out of three!" demanded Kingston in a rage. "I'm not gonna<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> lose that Shellder of mine!"</div> <div> "Sorry", said Cameron, "I would love to give you your Shellder back,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> but I don't know how."</div> <div> Just then, a huge cage fell through the sky and landed on the entire<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> group trapping them in.</div> <div> "Kingston, did you order another girl scout trap in the mail again?"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> asked Mr. Silph.</div> <div> "Uh oh", said Brock, "It's time to prepare for trouble again!"</div> <div> "Hey, that's our line!" called out a familiar guy's voice as two<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> familiar figures appeared from behind the damaged limo.</div> <div> "Prepare for trouble!" said Jessie.</div> <div> "And make it double!" said James.</div> <div> Jessie: "To protect the world from devastation!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> James: "To unite all peoples within our nation!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Jessie: "To denounce the evils of truth and love!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> James: "To extend our reach to the stars above!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Jessie: "Queen Jessie!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> James: "King James!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Jessie: "Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> James: "Surrender now or prepare to fight!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Reiko: "Like the arrow sign that points in the opposite direction of<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> left, That's right!"</div> <div> "Hey Reiko, our motto's long enough as it is", scolded James. Reiko<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> just pointed her katana at James's neck.</div> <div> "If my little intern likes to add her own ending, it's okay with me",<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> said Jessie liking the way Reiko handles James's complaining.</div> <div> "She may be vowed to serve Team Rocket, but she certainly won't let<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> any of them walk all over her", thought Cameron.</div> <div> "You can't do this to us!" shouted Mr. Silph, "Do you know who I am?!"</div> <div> "Didn't I see your face on my Monopoly box?" asked James.</div> <div> "No, I'm Mr. Silph!" he shouted. "And me and my son won't stand for<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> being locked up in a cage on our property. Actually, this new<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> property, but you get the idea!" and he blew a whistle and a bunch of<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> security guards ran out of the mansion surrounding the Rockets.</div> <div> "Weezing, haze attack!" said James as he released Weezing who sprayed<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> a thick fog around the guards who couldn't see who they were supposed<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> to arrest. Reiko easily disarmed them and then tied and gagged them.</div> <div> "Excellent work Reiko", smiled Jessie as she patted Reiko's bowed head.</div> <div> "What about me and Weezing?" asked James.</div> <div> "Oh yeah", said Jessie, "Nice job too!" and without thinking she<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> whacked James's head because that what she was used to doing to him.</div> <div> "Please forgive me for this Cameron-san", Reiko whispered to Cameron<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> through the bars.</div> <div> "I understand Reiko", whispered Cameron back.</div> <div> "What are you two whispering about?" demanded Kingston, "Don't tell me<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> that this wacked-out criminal is your girlfriend?!"</div> <div> Reiko angrily lifted Kingston up by the tie and replied, "Like the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> little Oddish that has not yet developed its bloom. Little rug rats<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> like you shouldn't be thinking about sexes just yet!" and she threw<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Kingston on the ground causing him to run crying into his father's arms.</div> <div> "My hero!" thought Cameron even if she was a villain right now.</div> <div> "Just what were you talking to them about?" asked a suspicious James.</div> <div> "Uh, I've just learned that this kid has loads of money, entertainment<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> systems, and fun stuff stashed away inside that mansion", said Reiko,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "Doesn't it just want to make you rob it like a schoolgirl?"</div> <div> "Why yes it does!" smiled Jessie who eyed the huge joint with diamond<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> shaped eyes. "I hear by give you permission to steal, plunder, and<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> totally thrash this place in any way you feel!"</div> <div> "Arigato, my queen", said Reiko as she did a huge back flip to the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> entrance of the mansion and rushed in. Mainly she wanted some time<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> alone so she could figure out a plan to help Cameron.</div> <div> "She might steal my Pokemon cards!" cried Kingston, "We've gotta stop<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> her!"</div> <div> "What do you mean we?" asked Misty.</div> <div> "I wouldn't worry about all your stuff kid", said James.</div> <div> "Yes", smiled Jessie evily, "Because you'll all be coming back to<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Rocketville with us along with all your valuable stuff! HA HA HA HA!"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Just then, Jessie and James heard a loud "SLOWBRO!" They turned around<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> and found Slowie standing there ready to defend his master.

She then saw Jessie and James frozen solid in<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> blocks of ice. Reiko quickly ran up to them and asked Cameron. "What<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> just happened to them?!"</div> <div> "It was the work of Slowie here", said Cameron as he patted Slowie's<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> head through the bars.</div> <div> "And my Shellder too", said Kingston as he patted the Shellder part of<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Slowbro.</div> <div> "Well I can't bring all of you, these stolen goods, and my two frozen<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> monarchs back to Rocketville all on my own!" said Reiko, "I am not that<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> resourceful! Tentracruel, Kingler, drop those goods."</div> <div> Tentacruel and Kingler let all that valuable stuff drop onto the dirty<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> ground. "My underwear better not be in that pile!" shouted Kingston.</div> <div> "Relax kid", said Reiko, "I'm not that demented. Tentacruel, Kingler,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> pick up our frozen king and queen if you would." Tentacruel lifted up<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Jessie while Kingler picked up James. "Well you filthy rebels", she<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> sneered, "It looks like I'll have to leave you right now. My king and<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> queen need some serious defrosting." She said as she took out a bottle<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> of extra spicy wasabi. "But like the junk food that always comes back<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> to torment you, you haven't seen the last of Team Rocket! HA HA HA<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> HA!" She threw a smoke bomb on the ground and everything went black.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Cameron felt Reiko kiss his cheek and when the smoke cleared, Team<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Rocket was gone as usual.</div> <div> "It looks like we're safe for now", said Stella.</div> <div> "Yeah, but we're still locked in this cage!" whined Kingston, "I sure<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> hope none of my even snootier friends see me like this!"</div> <div> Cameron felt something tucked between his ear and glasses. It was the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> key to the cage. Reiko had tucked it in there during her little smoke<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> bomb trick. "Arigato Reiko!" smiled Cameron as he unlocked the cage and<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> everyone was set free.</div> <div> "Maybe having a wacked-out criminal for a girlfriend's a good thing",<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> said Kingston. Cameron was about to strangle that kid until Slowie<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> tackled Cameron onto the ground and hugged him.</div> <div> "Aw, thank you Slowie", smiled Cameron as he hugged him back. "No<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> matter who owns you, I'll always be your mamma!"</div> <div> "Mamma?!" asked Kingston surprised.</div> <div> "Yes", explained Brock, "When that Slowpoke first hatched, Cameron<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> was the first face he saw, so he thinks Cameron's his mother."</div> <div> "I remember losing my mother when I was five", said Kingston with tears<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> in his eyes. "It was the most saddest day of my life. Then one day,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Daddy gave me my very first Pokemon. It was that Shellder. I could<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> always talk to him whenever I had a bad day or whenever I was picked<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> on by bigger even richer kids. Shellder was my best friend in the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> whole world." And he approached the Slowbro and hugged the Shellder<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> part of it while his tears ran down the spiral shapes.</div> <div> "Wow", thought Cameron, "This brat really does care for his Pokemon.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> If I could do the right thing, I'd let him have his Shellder back by<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> giving him the whole Slowbro. But then poor Slowie would be terribly<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> sad if he has to leave his mother, which I am not really. What a<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> predicament!"</div> <div> Misty looked into her backpack and said, "I think I have a way!" She<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> pulled out the Waterstone that her sister gave her and approached<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Slowie. "I sure hope this works", she said as she placed the stone<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> against the Shellder part. Suddenly, Shellder fell off of Slowie's<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> bottom causing him to devolve back into a Slowpoke.</div> <div> "Slowpoke?" he said looking up at Cameron.</div> <div> "Yes", smiled Cameron with joy in his eyes, "You're back!"</div> <div> "Shellder?!" cried Kingston for his Shellder didn't devolve back into<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> his original shape, but a new one. He was bivalve shaped again, but<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> was a lot bigger and stronger and spikes were sticking out of his shell.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Cameron aimed his Pokedex at Kingston's new Pokemon.</div> <div> "CLOYSTER, the evolved form of Shellder", replied Dexeena. "When<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> attacked, it launches its horns in quick volleys. The Cloyster's<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> innards have never been seen."</div> <div> The Cloyster opened up his shell and Kingston saw his little black face<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> smiling at him. "Cloy!" he said.</div> <div> "Aw, Shellder. I mean Cloyster!" cried Kingston with tears. "I'm so<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> glad I'm not gonna lose you!"</div> <div> "Thank you Misty", said Cameron while holding Slowie, "But your sister<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> gave you that stone so you could evolve a great Pokemon one day."</div> <div> "I know", said Misty smiling. "But I remember how you tried to fight my<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> sisters to save my honor. They would've never given me that stone if<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> you hadn't did that. So you truly deserve that great Slowpoke of<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> yours."</div> <div> "Thanks Misty", said Cameron blushing while Slowie was wondering why<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> his mamma looked all red in the face. "Maybe Mamma's finally getting<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> her pink skin like me", he thought.</div> <div> Kingston humbly approached the group and said, "Thank you", in a<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> tearful voice. "I'm sorry for acting like such a brat and for getting<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> all your bikes wrecked and for threatening to take your Slowpoke away.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> I think I know how I can make it up to all of you." He ran over to his<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> father and asked, "Daddy, can I use this weeks allowance for...." And he<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> started whispering something.</div> <div> * * * * * *</div> <div> Our heroes were now back on the road in their new R. V.! Kingston and<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Mr. Silph were waving goodbye as the disappeared into the horizon. "You<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> know son", smiled Mr. Silph, "That was a very nice thing you did by<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> giving them that R.V. Maybe you're not really the brat my servants<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> tell me you are."</div> <div> "I wouldn't count on it", thought Kingston as thoughts of slingshots<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> and spitballs danced around in his head.</div> <div> * * * * * *</div> <div> A few days later, our heroes were resting in a field next to a<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> beautiful stream. Everyone had let all their Pokemon out to play.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Sandy saw Slowie sitting on a rock with the King's Symbol still on his<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> left bottom leg. "You still have that thing stamped on you?" asked<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Sandy. Slowie just let out a mournful sigh.</div> <div> "Hey, don't worry Slowie" said Sandy, "If we let Cameron know about<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> that mark. I'm sure he can get it off with some soap and, UGH, water!"</div> <div> "It's not that Sandy", sighed Slowie, "It's just that I kind of liked<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> being a Slowbro for a while. I got to stand on my hind legs, I learned<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> a new blizzard attack, and having a Shellder attached to me made my<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> butt feel smart."</div> <div> "But at least you got changed back so you wouldn't have to leave your<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> mamma", winked Sandy.</div> <div> "Yeah, that's right!" smiled Slowie, "But I still wished I could've<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> stayed my evolved form so I could be a better Pokemon to mamma!"</div> <div> Psyduck was sitting in the shallow end of the stream listening to<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Sandy's and Slowie's conversation. "I don't like seeing my best friend,<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Slowie this way!" said Psyduck. "If there was some way I can make him<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> evolve again, I'd do it for him. Think Psyduck think! Oh no, I'm<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> getting a headache again. But wait, it's not in my head. It's my<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> tail?!" Psyduck quickly jumped out of the water and found a wild<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Shellder clamped onto his tail. "My prayers have been answered!" smiled<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Psyduck as he pulled the Shellder off his tail and ran over to Slowie.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "Hey Slowie", he quacked, "Look what I got for WHOOPS!!!<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> PSY-YAI-YAI!!!" Psyduck had tripped on a tiny rock causing him to toss<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Shellder up into the air.</div> <div> "What's that?" asked Slowie looking up in the sky.</div> <div> "It's my gift to you", said Psyduck, "Quick, stick your tail up in the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> air!"</div> <div> "Okay", said Slowie as he stuck his long tail straight up wondering<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> what that thing falling from the sky was. However, the Shellder missed<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Slowie's tail and clamped onto his head.</div> <div> "Uh, oh", said Psyduck, "Misty's probably gonna clobber me again for<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> this!"</div> <div> "Oh no, what's that dumb Psyduck done now?!" shouted Misty as<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> she pointed to Slowie with a Shellder stuck on his head. Then they<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> both started merging while Cameron and the others rushed over to them.</div> <div> "Am I gonna get a Slowbro again?" asked Cameron. But Slowie didn't<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> evolve into a Slowbro. Instead he was a new type of Pokemon. He was<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> standing on his hind legs once again, but he had a frilly red and white<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> collar around his neck and the Shellder on his head was now spiral<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> shaped with spikes on it. Almost like a crown. "I've never seen a<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Pokemon like this before!" gasped Cameron as he took out his Pokedex.</div> <div> "SLOWKING: An alternate evolution of Slowpoke", replied Dexeena.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> "It is said if a Shellder clamps onto the head of a royal Slowpoke, you<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> suddenly get a rare Slowking."</div> <div> "Wow!" smiled Cameron as he hugged his new Slowking, "I had no idea you<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> had royal blood in you."</div> <div> "I believe it all had something to do with that King's Symbol still<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> stamped onto Slowie's leg", said Seymour. "Very interesting!"</div> <div> "Congratulations your majesty", smiled Sandy bowing down to Slowie.</div> <div> "Aw, please stop!" said Slowie blushing, "On second thought, do it a<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> little more."</div> <div> "Wow Psyduck", smiled Misty, "Just when I think you'll always be a<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> menace to all life forms, you surprise me!"</div> <div> "Slowking!" said Slowie saying thank you to his best friend for making<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> his dream happen.</div> <div> "Psyduck!" said Psyduck proudly bowing to Slowie. "Say", thought<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Psyduck, "Maybe I'll become a Psyking if a Shellder clamps onto my<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> head! Then Misty'll have to bow to me for a change!" and Psyduck<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> quickly dove into the stream hoping a Shellder would clamp onto his<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> head.
