Chapter 11
Mini series - Blimp in the drink.
Chapter 11: Yet another Golden Explosion!
Last time, our friends competed in the Gold Gym and won. Now they are heading to the airport to board a blimp.
"Hold it right there!" Shouted a voice. Matt's group turned round and saw Tom and Lucy holding a Bazooka pointed right at Bulbasaur.
"Give us that Bulbasaur now, or face the consequences!" Tom yelled.
"No way!" Matt shouted, clutching his Pokeballs. "Go, ALL OF YOU! Bellsprout and Bulbasaur, RAZOR LEAF! Squirtle and Shellder, WATER GUN! Go Pidgey! Use your Quick Attack! Staryu, use your SWIFT!"
Matt's Pokemon were ready to use their attacks, but Tom and Lucy sent out their Pokemon. "Go, Machoke, Go Grimer, and Gooooo, Jynx!"
"Ugh, I can't believe that is really a Pokemon" Cheryl said, shaking here head in disgust. "Go, Dratini! Use Hyper beam on Grimer!"
"Go, Venomoth! Venomoth, Poison Powder on Machoke!" Mike yelled.
"Ok guys, use those attacks I told you to use on that monster Jynx and Team Rocket."
The force of the blast was tremendous. Team Rocket was too shocked to say anything as they went spinning into the air.
"Ok, which way is the airport?" Mike asked.
"I saw some Pidgeot flying east, so the Airport must be that way."
Eventually our group found the airport over a couple of hills. It wasn't that big; there was only one terminal and one big house for the Pidgeot and some hangars for Planes and Blimps.
Our friends walked over to the terminal and into reception. "We would like three tickets to Silver Island please." Said Mike, holding a few Poke-bucks.
"Sure, that'll be 1000 please for all three of you." Said the assistant. Mike gave her the cash, then she said, "You'll be travelling by Blimp, so please head to Blimp no.2."
At the blimp they were met by a tall man with a moustache. "Tickets please." They flashed their tickets then boarded.
The inside of the blimp was comfortable. Cheryl found three seats, while Bulbasaur and Hypno went off exploring. Then a man and a woman walked into the room, looking strangely familiar. Matt saw they were wearing uniforms.
"Welcome to Gold/Silver Blimp Co. We wish you a pleasant journey. Please make yourselves comfortably and feel free to ask for assistance."
"Thankyou," Cheryl said. "May we ask your names?"
The woman opened her mouth but the man interrupted. "No, no you may not. Come along now Lu- Uh, I mean Laura. We need to take off."
"There's something strange about those two." Mike said suspiciously.
"Yeah, I think I've seen them before." Matt agreed.
Meanwhile, the two air hosts are on the bridge hatching a plan. Yes, they are no other that Tom and Lucy.
"If we get that Bulbasaur we'll be promoted, and the boss will like us again!" Tom said.
The two fiends potted their plans while our heroes are sitting in the passenger section bored and hungry.
"Hello?" Cheryl shouted. "Anyone there? There is food aboard this hunk of junk isn't there?"
Suddenly Team Rocket jumped in. "No, not for you little brats! Machoke, GO! Jynx, GO!"
"Darn, it's Team Rocket!" Mike shouted. "Weedle, GOOOOOOO!"
The weedle that Mike captured on Pallet Road zapped out of its Pokeball, confused. Team Rocket stared at it in shock. "Good, that's what I wanted, to warm you up. ZUBAT, I CHOOSE YOU!"
"Let's join in the fun!" Cheryl shouted." Hypno, GO!"
"Squirtle, GO!" Matt yelled.
"Fine then, you little scum." Lucy sneered. "Jynx, Lovely Kiss attack!"
"Hypno, TELEPORT THEN PSYCHIC!" Cheryl screamed. Hypno teleported behind Jynx then started swinging its pendulum. But, to Cheryl, Matt and Mike's dismay, It didn't affect the black monster (no racism meant).
"Hahaha." Lucy laughed. "Do your kiss Jynx!"
Hypno was knocked out, now it was Mikes turn. "Zubat, Supersonic!"
The noise was terrible. Fortunately, there weren't any windows to smash. Mike picked himself up. "Weedle, Poison Sting on Lucy's leg."
Lucy screamed in pain, withdrew Jynx and sent out Grimer. Then she hopped into the cockpit to get some antidote. Tom took over. "Machoke, Seismic Toss!"
Matt jumped up, "Nooooooo, don't do that, you'll burst the blimp!" He screamed. Machoke grabbed Zubat by one of its wing and threw it against the side of the blimp. The wall burst open and Zubat was flung out into the wind.
Mike ran up to Tom, his eyes bloodshot. "THAT'S IT, VENOMOTH, POISON POWDER NOW!"
Tom screamed as the spores hit him in disbelief, then he fell out of the blimp holding a parachute bag. Mike watched him fall in disgust. Cheryl and Matt walked over to him in horror at what he had done.
"Venomoth," Mike said quietly, "Go out and search for Zubat." Venomoth nodded and flew out to fill out his masters bidding. Team Rocket's Pokemon were just sitting on the floor waiting for Lucy. As they wanted, Lucy came running in, holding a shotgun. "You will all pay, scum." She rasped. Then she shot Mike in the head and he fell limply over the side. Matt and Cheryl screamed. "Squirtle, Marril, SURF NOW!" Gradually the blimp began to fill with water. It fell quickly to the ocean below. Grimer screamed as he was sucked into the engine. As his sludge connected with the exhaust pipe, the engine blew.
PPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
Shrapnel and Humans and Pokemon went flying into the air like toys in the massive gas explosion.
As Matt and Cheryl fell, with their last acts of consciousness they held onto their water Pokemon. When they hit the water with tremendous force, themselves and their Pokemon were knocked out. Now they float on the ocean, unconscious.
Well, a short but terrifying episode. Mike is now dead, we don't know about Team Rocket, but what about our heroes? Will they survive, or sink like the SS Anne? Find out in the next chapter of The Blimp in the Drink Mini Series of Matt's Pokemon Journey!
