A Mankey Wrench in the Pokémon Factory
A Mankey Wrench in the Pokémon Factory
By Blackeyez, Psycho, and N. Igma
Josh: We find yours truly and his motley crew walking down the road.
Matt: What the?.
Misty: You're not the narrator, Josh!
Josh: So what? Anyway, we find Ash, the trainer from Pallet.
Ash: Soon to be the world's greatest Pokémon master!
Josh: You wish! I am! (Ash glares) Misty, his fiery girlfriend from
Cerulean.
Misty: For the hundredth time, I AM NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!!!
Josh: Brock, the gym leader, breeder, and womanizer from Pewter.whom I might
add, has NEVER successfully asked a girl out this ENTIRE series.
Brock: Don't remind me!!
Josh: Matt, the headphone-wearing trainer from Vermilion.
Matt: Hey now, you're a. (Takes off headphones) What'chu say about me??!!
Josh: Ian, the self-proclaimed gag master.
Ian: Don't make me resort to physical violence!
Josh: And me, Josh, the greatest of them all. Sure, Ash may seem like the
hero. But just because he's in the first episode doesn't mean anything. I
run the show around here.
Misty: SHUT UP!!!
(Misty throws a rock at the screen. It hits, and the cameraman falls to the
ground. It turns out Josh was video-taping this from up a tree.)
Josh: Owww.
Misty: Now you're mine!!
Ash: We'll see who runs the show around here, Josh!!
Josh: Aww, look. You're helping your girl.
Matt: I wouldn't have said that.
Misty and Ash: WHY YOU.
(They start beating up Josh. After a while, the scuffle stops and it reveals
Ash hanging over Josh and Misty pinning Josh's arms down.)
Ash: Now where's the real narrator?
Josh: Tied.up.top branch.
Brock: I'll get him. (He climbs up)
Matt: Don't say I didn't warn you, Josh.
Pikachu: Chaaa.
Ian: We'll have to wait for Brock to get the narrator. So, can I tell some
knock-knock jokes?
Matt: Nah, let's just have Ash yell the title of the episode now.
Brock: You mean I'm on TV? (Goes up to the camera) Hello, ladies!
Misty: Shut up!
(Ash shouts title)
Ash: I haven't done that in, like, forever!
Josh: Maybe because N. Igma thinks it's too much trouble.
Narrator: Whew! Now that I'm out of that mess, we can continue. So, let's
check on Team Rocket.
Jessie: I wonder what those brats are doing.
James: What do you see, Meowth?
Meowth: Hmmm. Traveling as usual.
Jessie: Rats! They'll be expecting us!
James: Hey! I have an idea!
Jessie: You have an IDEA?!
Meowth: That's a foist.
James: Well, if they're expecting us to jump out right now, they won't,
because they'll think that we won't try that again, because we've done it in
the past and it failed, so if we jump out now, they'll be surprised! (Jessie
and Meowth stare) What?
Jessie: That's brilliant!!! (She throws her arms around him. James does his
little laugh.)
Meowth: Simple, but with good reasoning. It might woik. (Sees James) You're
enjoying dat, aren't cha?
Jessie and James: WHY YOU. (They beat up Meowth)
Narrator: Back to our heroes.
Brock: It's a beautiful day!
Josh: Blue skies, white clouds.
Ian: It seems too good to be true!
Misty: No other trainers, no gym leaders, no danger or death-defying
adventure.and no Team Rocket!
Matt: Yeah, now Team R isn't bugging us anymore!
Ash: Three cheers for having no Team Rocket!
All: Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip-
Jessie: That's what YOU think, brats!
James: I'm afraid your sunny day WAS too good to be true! (The Rockets show
themselves)
Jesse: To protect the world from devastation!
James: To unite all peoples within our nation!
Jesse: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
Misty: SHADAAAPP!!! (The surprised Rockets stop indeed.)
Brock: I hate to say it guys.
Ash: .But we're not in the mood today.
Matt: Take the rest of your stupid motto and shove it!
Ian: Care to do the honors, Josh?
Josh: Electrode, go, and blow away these morons! (Electrode is called out
and flies at the Rockets)
Jessie: Aaah!!! Jessie!
James: Oh no!!! James! (Electrode blows them up with Explosion)
Jessie: (flying away with the rest of TR) Now we're blasting off at the
speed of light!
James: We should have surrendered by now instead of trying to fight!
Meowth: Meowth! I think you're right!
All of TR: Team Rocket's blasting off alreadyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
Brock: Hey guys! Look at this!
Ash: What?
Ian: Cool! Electrode's Explosion uncovered a trapdoor!
Matt: It was buried pretty deep. That Electrode is strong!
Josh: Not that I'm bragging, but I AM DA MAN!!!
Misty: I thought he said he wasn't bragging.
Ash: Let's go in.
Matt: Wait a minute! What you're saying is, you want us to go down into that
deep, dark, smelly cave, probably filled with super-pokémon or an endless
pit or some other unknown danger that could kill us all?
Ash: Yeah.
Matt: AWESOME!!!
Narrator: As they go down the ladder.
Ash: She's gonna say it..
Brock: I know she's gonna say it..
Ian: She wouldn't be Misty if she didn't say it..
Josh: Here it comes.
Matt: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Misty: ASH, HAVE YOU GOTTEN US LOST AGAIN?!
Guys: Errrgghhh.
Ian: What's with her?
Brock: It's a girl thing.
Matt: Nah. It's just a Misty thing. (Misty smacks him) Ow!
Ian: But why does she always pick on Ash?
Josh: Now THAT'S a girlfriend-boyfriend thing. (Misty smacks him) OW!
Brock: Quit it, guys. This ladder's very rusty. It could crack at any time.
(Matt, the last one down, hears a crack. He sees the portion of the ladder
just above him crack.)
Matt: Uh, guys. I think the ladder decided to crack.now.
Josh: Isn't that just our luck. (The ladder breaks and our heroes tumble
into darkness screaming.)
(They land on a billowy, puffy substance.)
???: Whaaatt?! What? Where? Who? (Looks above itself) Huh?! (The thing forms
a hole in the center of its body, and our heroes tumble to the ground.)
Misty: Ash, look!
Ash: Wha.what is that thing? (Pulls out pokédex)
Dexter: Pokémon unknown.
Mysterious pokémon: Intruders! Here?! I must tell the boss! (It flies off)
Brock: Now that that's over.
Josh: Where are we?
Matt: It looks like an underground base.very suspicious.
Ash: We'd better look for a way out.
Ian: (sighs) Of course he has to be the smart guy.
(They walk around a bit. Then Ash spots a door marked.)
Ash: PRODUCTION ROOM. Authorized personnel only.
Misty: Maybe we shouldn't go in!
Matt: Are you kidding? I want to bust these Rockets!
Brock: Rockets?
Josh: Matt, this is not a secret underground Rocket base. (Ash opens the
door. Everyone gasps.) But then again, it really is something.
(We see a room filled with weird machines, computers everywhere, Pokémon in
cages, and an odd device at the end. This is what our heroes run to.)
Ian: What is it? (A pokémon pops out that everyone gasps at. It's picture
pops up on large computer screen not too far away.)
Computer: Erchin, the Sea Urchin pokémon. Lives miles under the ocean. Only
comes up once in every 10 years to lay its eggs on the beach.
Ash: This huge contraption is.
Misty: .making pokémon.
Matt: I smell Team Rocket!
Ian: Really? I smell oil. (Everyone glares) Sorry, bad joke. Sheesh.
Josh: Oh brother, Matt. And, if the Rockets are doing this, than who's THAT?
(He points way up high.)
(Up on a raised platform is an odd pair of pokémon. One is a 6-foot bug
keying on a computer with its claws and the other is a large red bird with a
huge beak sitting on a stool punching in keys with his feet.)
Bug: Well, another satisfied customer. Have you put Erchin in, Zippo?
Zippo (the red bird): Of course, Aspenth!
Aspenth: Just checking. (The weird pokémon from earlier flies in)
Mysterious pokémon: Master Aspenth! Master Aspenth!
Aspenth: Calm down, Midnight. What is it?
Zippo: Probably thought he saw something again.
Midnight: Really, boss! There were 6 kids (Our heroes gasp) and a Pikachu!
(Pikachu gasps) Here in the factory! They came down the ladder!
Zippo: Really? Well, where are they now?
Midnight: (Looks around nervously, and then spots our heroes) RIGHT OVER
THERE!!!
Zippo: What?! (He flies down in their direction. Our heroes brace themselves
as Zippo rears back his head.and spits a small stream of flame.)
Aspenth: (Flies in on Midnight) Zippo! You must remember you were not made
for battle! (To Ash and co.) All right. what are you doing here? If you know
what's good for you, you'll leave now! (Crouches into a fighting stance and
clacks his claws together menacingly)
Ash: Well, uh, you see.
Misty: We sort of.
Brock: Dropped in unannounced.
Josh: It's not our fault, really.
Ian: Hello! I'm Ian, and these are my friends Ash, Misty, -
Matt: (Covers Ian's mouth) Shut up, Ian! You wanna get us in trouble?
Ash: Really, uh.mister, we found a trapdoor in the ground and, our curiosity
got the better of us! (Puts arm behind head) Heh heh heh.
Josh: You see.
Misty: Oh boy. Here we go again.
Josh: .my Electrode blew it open. It's very strong, really.
Misty: (slaps Josh) All right, that's enough!
Aspenth: You mean.it wasn't your fault?
Our heroes: YEAH!
Aspenth: Oh! Terribly sorry. I had no idea.Midnight! You really should
question intruders before running to me!
Midnight: Sorry, Aspenth.
Zippo: Ha ha!
Midnight: Shut up!
Aspenth: Perhaps you would like to know more about this place.
Mysterious voice from nowhere: This is no time for a guided tour, Aspenth.
Aspenth: Master? I'm sorry, O Great One, I was just trying to be a good
host.
Voice: I understand, Aspenth. But still, I would like to see them.in person.
Aspenth: Yes, master. (To Ash and co.) Come. I must take you to him.
Ash: To who? The president of this factory?
Aspenth: Actually, I am the president of the Pokémon Factory. But, you are
about to meet the CEO!
Narrator: Back outside.
Jessie: Here's where they were.
James: But where are they now?
Meowth: Hey guys! Over here! (Meowth is at the trapdoor.)
James: They must have gone down there.
Jessie: Then that is where we must also go.
Narrator: As they climb down.
Meowth: It's too cramped here!
Jessie: This is NOT good for my hair!
James: Your hair isn't good for me! It's getting in my face!
Meowth: You're just mad because you can't look up her.
Jessie: YOU LITTLE STINKER!!! (She uppercuts Meowth, who falls off the
ladder. He falls onto Jessie, who falls onto James. All three tumble down
the shaft screaming.)
Narrator: I got a large part in the story, huh? Back down under.
Brock: So this is the computer that mainly creates all the Pokémon.
Aspenth: That is correct, young one.
Zippo: These are the Factorydexes. They are like your Pokédexes, but they
have every Pokémon made in the Factory on them. I suppose you can each
borrow one.
Matt: Sweeeet! (They get the Factorydexes)
Aspenth: And this is the teleporter to the boss's audience chamber.
Misty: Can't you just walk there or something?
Zippo: Of course not! Our boss is too smart to let just anybody walk in!
These teleporters are password protected so no one can walk in and attempt
to hurt.or capture the boss.
Aspenth: (whispers password and the door opens) All right, one at a time.
(Each one of our heroes walks in one at a time. Then Midnight, then Zippo,
then Aspenth.)
Ian: That was a wild, crazy trip!
Matt: So, this is the headquarters of Giovanni.
Josh: For the tenth time Matt, this is NOT Team Rocket we're dealing with!
Voice: Correct, boy. It is by a force you have never imagined. (Everyone
does the anime "Huh?") The nine leaders of the Pokémon Factory.commence!
(More figures appear in the teleporters)
???#1: Humans?
???#2: Here?!
Voice: Calm yourselves! (To Ash and co.) I apologize. I have not yet
properly introduced myself yet. (Steps out of the shadows)
Matt: Mew?
Brock: It looks more like. urgh, I know I've seen a pokémon like that
before.
Ash: Hold on. (Whips out Factorydex)
Factorydex: Mewthree, the Blend pokémon. The second attempt at cloning a
Mew. It uses powerful psychic abilities and fighting techniques.
Ian: Second attempt.was there even a first one?
Mewthree: Yes, I am another Mew clone. However, my mind is not as.misguided
as Mewtwo's. They left more of Mew's mind in me.
Brock: Mewtwo.where have I heard that name before?
Mewthree: But don't worry. I have no intention of harming you, after what
Aspenth said.
Josh: But he didn't say.oh yeah.the psychic thing.
???#3: You must be mad, Mewthree! Letting humans run free in here with our
Factorydexes.
Mewthree: Calm yourself, Hunter. I don't see what harm they can do. I have
scanned their minds and they have no hostile ideas in their heads. Except
Pokémon battle. (Looks at Josh)
Josh: Heh heh.
Ash: Hmmm.
Factorydex: Hunter, the Ravager pokémon. Trained in 6 forms of martial arts.
When angry, it is also capable of using psychic powers.
Ash: And you're Aspenth, Zippo, and Midnight.
Factorydex: Aspenth, the Carapace pokémon. Its armor takes little damage
from physical attacks. In fact, no normal attack can harm it at all. Zippo,
the Lighter pokémon. A fire pokémon which is useful to have for common
every-day jobs, such as starting a fire. Midnight, the Cumulus pokémon.
Known to roam the skies on stormy nights. When enraged, it will disperse
powerful lighting bolts.
Ian: What is the purpose of this factory anyway?
Mewthree: Perhaps the other factory workers would like to explain
that.Aurablu?
Factorydex: Aurablu, the Magical pokémon. Found southwest of Cinnabar
Island. It is said to have been dropped from the sky by a legendary flying
pokémon.
Aurablu: It's true, although I'm not sure I remember a flying pokémon. but
enough about me. You see, we would have to explain the history of this
factory.. Not too long ago, at a time I'm not sure of, a group of
scientists, although discouraged by their failure with Mewtwo.
Brock: Where have I heard that name before?
Aurablu: .they made another altered clone, Master Mewthree. However, he got
away from the scientists.
Aspenth: Not too long after his escape.that's when he met me. Mewthree let
the scientists' error go. Our first meeting did not go well, however.
Mewthree: We fought. A long and hard battle, it was. We were so evenly
matched that we called it off.
???#1: (talks fast) And that's when the master started this factory.
Ash: Who is THAT?
Factorydex: Tweak, the Fast pokémon. Unaffected by psychic attacks. Quickly
hunts down other pokémon with its razor-sharp claws.
Tweak: Anyway,
themasterbegantomakeallofusandAurablufelloutoftheskyandandand.
???#2: Awww, for crying out loud, let someone who obeys the speeding laws do
the talking!
Josh: Heh heh.hey Mewthree, is that your dog?
Factorydex: Legion, the Ghosthound pokémon. Easily seen on dark nights, due
to its claws emitting a strange and eerie greenish glow.
Legion: Oh, that's sooo funny.now, like I was saying before I was so rudely
interrupted.
Misty: Don't worry. You're not the only one he does that to.
Josh- Heh heh.
Legion: Well, Aspenth and Mewthree stopped fighting and decided to join
forces. They decided to start a pokémon factory.to make pokémon for all
great trainers.that could figure us out.
???#4: We have made over two hundred and fifty pokémon these years.and the
six of us, Hunter, Tweak, Midnight, Zippo, Legion, and myself, Wendigo.
Ian: Whoa! That's a big pokémon!
Factorydex: Wendigo, the Behemoth pokémon. The roar of this pokémon can
cause several pokémon several miles away to run. Its huge claws can easily
cut stone.
Mewthree: Now that you have gotten acquainted with everyone and everything,
Aspenth, why don't you give them a little tour?
Aspenth: Sure! Right this way, everyone. (He and the super 6 step into the
teleporter that leads to the production room.)
Narrator: I love this job! Meanwhile.
Meowth: Watta weird dump!
James: What is this place for, anyway?
Jessie: It looks like one of the boss's hangouts, but we never heard about
this one.
Meowth: I wonda where dis leads. (He points to a door marked "PRODUCTION
ROOM. Authorized personnel only".)
Aspenth: You see, we get many, many requests for pokémon. We can only choose
the best. We average a pokémon or two every week.
(The Rockets press their ears against the door.)
Matt: Wow, and you've made over two hundred and fifty pokémon? That must
have taken a long time.
James: Two hundred and fifty what?
Aspenth: Yes, it is quite an achievement, to make so many Pokémon.
All of TR: POKéMON?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! (They all evilly grin)
Jessie: If we seize this place.
James: The boss will pay us.
Jessie and James: MILLIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! (Dollar signs appear in their eyes)
Meowth: I'll be top cat in no time!! Watt're we waitin for?
All of TR: Let's go!!!
(They knock in the door)
Our heroes: IT'S TEAM ROCKET!!!
Jessie: Prepare-
Meowth: NOOO! Not agains!!!
James: But the factory owners have never heard our motto.
Our heroes and Meowth: (Heads grow big) DON'T DO IT!!!
Jessie and James: Okay, okay!
Aspenth: Team Rocket?! (Whips out walkie-talkie) Mewthree! We have a code
red! Repeat! Code Red!!!
Mewthree's Voice: Roger that. The Factory 9.assemble in the Production Room!
(The other 8 owners appear in the teleporter. Everyone who can't fly jumps
on Midnight and everyone goes to ground level.)
Jessie: The factory's run.
James: .by pokémon?
All of TR: You're coming with us!!! (They send out Arbok, Weezing,
Lickitung, and Victreebel. Meowth also jumps in.)
Ash: All right, you guys.
Mewthree: No, Ash. We are more than capable of dealing with them as one.
James: Weezing! Victreebel! Sludge and Acid! (They use their attacks.)
Tweak: They're mine! Agility! (He easily dodges the goop.) Now, Slash!
TWEEEEEEKK! (He slashes them.)
Jessie: Arbok! Scare with Glare!
Aurablu: Oh yeah? Light Screen! ARORA! (The attacks block one another.)
Midnight: Thanks, Aurablu! Now he's mine! Thunderbolt!
MIIIIDD.NIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGHHTTT!!!!! (Arbok is shocked.)
Jessie: Eeerrggghhh. Lickitung, it's up to you! Body Slam!
Aspenth: Leave this to me! (Body Slam barely rocks him.)
Misty: Amazing!
Brock: But how.
Aspenth: Read the entry! No Normal attack can harm me! Now for Leech Life!
PWENTH! (He sucks health.)
Jessie: Big mistake, bug boy! Lick attack! (Aspenth is stunned.)
Mewthree: How dare you. Now it's my turn! Psybeam! MEWTHREEEEE!!! (Lickitung
faints.)
Meowth: Now you're all mines! Who wants somma dis?
Zippo: Wanna bet?
Legion: Zippo, no!
Meowth: Meowth howth howth! (Scratches Zippo. He's hurt.) Hah hah! Pathetic!
Hieeeeya! (He kicks Zippo aside) Ha ha ha ha! (Starts beating up Zippo)
Aspenth: Oh no!
Zippo: YOU PUNK. (He glows with light. Meowth stops laughing.) FIRE SPIN,
NOW! ZIIIIIIIII.PPOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meowth: MEEEEEEEEE!!!!. (Is fried extra crispy)
Tweak: All right little guy!
Wendigo: Yeah! Now run, you bandits!
Jessie: But.
Wendigo: (roars) NOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!
All of TR: Eeeeeeekkk!!! Team Rocket's running off again!!! (They scram.)
Mewthree: They're not getting away that easy.
(A platform rises under TR.)
Jessie: What's that underneath?
James: It looks like.
Thing underneath: Electrode!
All of TR: AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! (They blow away.)
Jessie: Those Electrodes are getting annoying!
James: At least we went out with a bang!
Meowth: For the thoid time.
All of TR: We're blasting off aggaaaaaaiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn!!!!!!!!
Ian: Don't you just love Electrodes? They make sure you have a blast!
Mewthree: Phew! That was close. I hate to say this, but I bet it's time you
got out of here.
Ash: You're not going to erase our memories or anything, right?
Mewthree: Oh no. Unlike Mewtwo, I can trust you.
Brock: Who's Mew. Heyyyyy, wait a second!
Mewthree: Goodbye, my friends.
Factory pokémon: Bye, see ya, etc. etc. etc.
(Our heroes are teleported above ground.)
Ian: Now THAT was cool!
Brock: Yeah!
Josh: Now where's the hole. it's gone!
Matt: Now no one will believe us!
Josh: Yeah, no one will believe how strong my Electrode is! (Everyone
laughs)
Misty: Too bad they didn't make you a super-pokémon, Ash.
Ash: That's OK. I already have a team of super Pokémon!
Pikachu: Pi-ka-chuu! (Translation-You'd better believe it!)
Josh: Ewww.not one of those stupid moral things.
The End
