Rayman Legends Adventures in Pokémon Movie 2: The Power of One/Script

Auntie Shrew looked up at one of the crooked, creepy trees in her backyard, but decided to climb up one just to see what would happen. Her father warned her many times to never climb up a tree because 'she had her mother's luck'. She never understood what that meant and why he would say that, but she had to try it. She was bored and there was nothing else to do.
"Hey, Auntie Shrew," two voices said.
She knew exactly who these two voices belonged to, it was Jesse and Lex. The shrew shrieked as she fell from the tree, hitting the branches on the road and hit the ground.
"You alright," Lex flinched a little, that looked painful.
"I will be alright," Auntie Shrew dusted herself clean as she looked to her two 'cousins' and grinned, "what is happening now?"
"We wanted to know if you wanted to come with us out into the ocean and go exploring," Jesse suggested.
"Yes," Lex said.
"The beach," Auntie Shrew asked, "I do not know....I should ask Mum and Dad first..."
"Well, go ahead..." Jesse shrugged, grinning, "our parents already said yes."
Auntie Shrew went to ask her parents if she could go with Jesse and Lex to the beach. After agreeing and a change of clothes, Auntie Shrew was allowed to go with them.
"Aunt Darla's also taking Eloise there for a surprise," Jesse grinned, very happy for the girl since she rarely had to spend much time with her mother.
"Will Alec be there as well," Auntie Shrew asked curiously as she had a sun hat with sunglasses on.
"Yes," Lex said.
"C'mon, let's get going," Jesse said.
Ellie Mae went with Jesse and Lex.
Luke pouted as he watched the girl go. "I wanted to go to the beach..."
"And I wanted to die 20 years ago..." Teresa said coldly.
Then a vase fell and broke as Martin held his head while moaning.
"There, there, I'll take the children.....you just concentrate on getting better..." Darla soothed her adoptive brother.
Cynthia looked worried.
"I'm running late anyhow..." Darla went away, "toodles~"
"Farewell, Aunt Darla," the twins called out before they both moaned and held their heads and then their eyes were glowing. Warning you one thing, they were going to have a vision of something that happened and that was going to happen.
"What is wrong with my family," Cynthia looked worried.
Then for the first time, the vision was shared with the whole family.
While this happened, Darla made a stop at the Plaza Hotel like agreed with Nanny, the hotel was very happy to see her because everyone loved and admired her so much. It was like being the child star again, only she wasn't hiding anything from the public, but just rarely had to see her daughter.
Eloise opened the door once it was knocked on, but she looked happy. "MUMMY," she clung to her mother.
"Hello, darling," Darla held her daughter.
"It is so nice to have you back, darling," Nanny said.
"Nanny, I was wondering if you'd like a vacation," Darla said to her daughter's caregiver in her absence. "I'm meeting my niece and nephew at the beach...plus...perhaps Eloise could meet the special someone she hasn't met and doesn't really know about before..." she winked to the older woman.
Nanny chuckled. "I'd love a vacation......also...is this guest yet around?"
"Yes, and he really wants to meet Eloise as much as she wants to meet him," Darla smirked.
"Who? Who? Who," Eloise grew anxious and curious.
"Yes, who," Nanny asked.
Darla chuckled. "Ah, ah, ah, it's a surprise, Ellie."
Eloise huffed, folding her arms.
"C'mon, let's go see your cousins then...they haven't seen you since Christmas," Darla grinned.
"I'll be right back, Mummy," Eloise rushed to get her bag out of her room.
Darla grinned, but looked to Nanny. "Was I like that as a little girl," she whispered.
"Just about, except you sang more than she does so," Nanny chuckled.
This caused for Darla to chuckle as well, remembering that she did use to sing a lot.
Eloise came back with heart-shaped sunglasses. "I'm baaack!"
"Then you are," Darla grinned as she took her daughter's hand, "ready, darling?"
"Ready, Mother," Eloise grinned, she loved being able to do something with her mother.
Darla grinned, but got ready to take her to have some fun and allow Nanny to have some time to herself. The hotel staff was a little thrilled for Eloise, but Mr. Salamone was just glad to be rid of her where he could eventually have some peace and silence in the hotel like if Eloise decided she wanted to go to school instead of having her private tutor. What they didn't know was that their time at the beach would soon turn into an adventure that no one would ever expect.
Eloise was emotional to see each other again.
"Mummy says she has a special surprise guest for me to meet that I haven't met and they hadn't seen me in a real long time," Eloise said to them.
"That is wonderful, Eloise," Auntie Shrew was happy for her.
Eloise noticed that Jesse, Lex and Martin held their heads from pain and then their eyes started to glow.
Eloise frowned at them. "Are you guys alright.....?"
"They have been doing that for the while now...I am worried for them......" Auntie Shrew wasn't sure what it was herself.
The glowing light expanded and they all were now seeing something that they would never see anywhere else.
"What is happening," Auntie Shrew looked alarmed.
Darla came to her brother, niece and nephew, but looked serious. "What do you all see?"
"This...this is unlike anything I've seen before," Martin said.
They saw a never before seen airship come out from a bunch of clouds and it aimed its canons at an island and began freezing it.
"Ya sure you're not concerning over nothing," Darla asked him, her eyes a little flat.
It continued to freeze the island until eventually, a blast of heat melted a road through a cave and out came a huge bird that had yellow around its body with flames on it's head, wings and tail.
"Is Martin Brisby gonna be alright, Mummy," Eloise asked.
Darla held her daughter. "I wish it's fine, darling..." she smirked hesitantly.
Then many circle-like fashions were sent flying out to capture the bird it was able to destroy one of them by breathing out fire and then slipping out of one of them; before it could close and then eventually, it was captured, hurting it. The next vision was showing a shrine with three different spheres each one having a different color, the first one was red, the second one was blue and the third one was yellow.
"Awakening, you are concerning me," Auntie Shrew cried, breaking their visions.
The visions ended at that moment and they were all now back at the beach.
Auntie Shrew frowned. "Are you guys alright? You were concerning me......"
Jesse and Lex sighed they couldn't see more, but grinned to her.
"We're fine, Auntie," Jesse said softly, "just...thinking..."
"Yes," Lex added.
Darla looked into the water as Eloise came to them.
"You guys look like me when my tutor shows up in the room for the afternoon," Eloise rolled her eyes as she mentioned that 'horrible man'.
"Eloise, it's so grand to see you again," Lex said.
Eloise grinned to them.
"How was your spring," Auntie Shrew asked.
"It was interesting, Nanny wanted to go on vacation with her brother...she tried to call my mother, but she couldn't come to New York in time, but she hired this cool woman named Nicole to look after me," Eloise grinned as she gave them a recap, but looked disappointed faster, "but Bill and her got a little too close..."
"I'm sorry to hear about that," Lex said.
"Yes," Jesse agreed.
"Hello, Eloise, my name is Tim," the dark brown-haired, blue-eyed boy said.
Eloise looked to him, curiously.
"Oh, hello, Tim," Auntie Shrew piped up with a grin.
"Oh, Eloise, this is our brother, Tim," Lex explained.
"We found him in the Bronx of New York where Lex's pen pal's from," Jesse added.
"Oh, pleased to meet you, Tim," Eloise said.
"I think I've heard of you somewhere before..." Tim looked curious to the blonde girl.
Eloise shrugged. "I've always been warned that people love me at the hotel because everyone loves my mother and nanny so much...I barely get to see my mother though since she works at a 'boring school'. She was thinking of having me go there, but a mess-up at nursery school did not go very well, where she decided to wait until I'm ready."
"What about your dad," Tim asked.
"I don't have a dad."
"Oh, I'm very sorry to hear about that," Tim said out of consolation.
It was getting dark on the beach instantly with a possible storm coming.
"Storm," Auntie Shrew screeched.
"It's a storm," Darla cried.
And where it seemed to pull Jesse in and apart from his family.
"JESSE," the others shrieked for him.
Auntie Shrew caught hold of him, Lex caught hold for her, Tim caught as well while Eloise tried to help. But the storm was much too strong for them as Jesse began to slip out of Auntie Shrew's grip the same was said for Lex's grip and Tim's grip. Then the three were pulled into the storm, but got separated as Auntie Shrew and Lex were blown far apart. Jesse was as well, but then landed in the ocean. The children all shrieked once it seemed like they were all knocked off balance from each other. During the the storm, each of the three were knocked out, not knowing that one of them would meet his true love.
After the children were swept off, Teresa came to the beach, looking as severe as the storm.
"WHERE'S MY CHILD," she yelled, her voice hauntingly echoing.
"Teresa...calm..." Darla tried to soothe one of her oldest friends.
"Something happened to her......" Teresa's eyes turned red as her fangs were bursting out, "I KNEW THIS WOULD BE A BAD IDEA!!"
"Don't worry, Teresa, we'll find them," Martin said.
"You had better...." Teresa looked very impatient and menacing.
"This has been the only time where I've seen you actually concern about your daughter..." Sebastian mumbled.
Teresa frowned back at him. "You put her there...."
"You decided to carry her for nine months," Sebastian folded his arms with a victorious smirk.
"BUY ME SOMETHING," Teresa snarled to win this argument, looking very peeved like a mother bear.
"How's about we go and find them," Cynthia suggested.
"I agree," Patch said.
Teresa growled a little. Sebastian gave her some dead, wilting flowers.
Teresa looked to him, but grinned. "Black and icy....just like my heart...."
While this was going on, Jesse's body was drifting away into an area he would not recognize. There was an old man with a young adult woman as they saw Jesse in the water.
"Oh, the poor fact...he must've been shipwrecked......" the woman said.
"We better let him rest......he can meet the others if he wants to..." the man said to her as they saw the poor boy.
The man and woman carried Jesse out of the ocean, shocked that he was a mer-boy, but then his legs appeared as soon as he was dried away. The man and woman exchanged worried and curious glances with each other, but they put Jesse in a bed to rest up. The woman went back to her garden to make sure it was all alright. Then Jesse awakened in a room.
"Where am I," he asked as he looked around.
Jesse got out of the bed where he could find the owner of the house. The woman hummed as she tended to her garden, she was expecting company.
"Who's ever house that is, I'll leave them this note thanking them, but I must go," Jesse said as he left a note, warning he had to go. Then he left the house without the woman noticing.
Once he reached the ocean, Jesse dived in and began to make his road to find Lex and Auntie Shrew no matter how long it would take. The woman hummed as she yet cared for her garden.
There were a bunch of orangish fish along the water known as Magikarp, including a giant one that was actually a robot ship.
"What the heck," Jesse said as he now swam up to it and began to knock on his proving it was made out of metal.
The knock seemed to make three voices cry out in grand agony. This alarmed Jesse and decided that perhaps he should just go on his road and up to the surface and see if he could hitch a ride on a boat. And where he swam up to find a boat, along with some Pokemon and people on the boat.
"Do you guys see anything," one boy with spiked black hair in a vest with a red and white hat asked.
"I think we're alright....." the girl with spiky orange hair said as she held a Pokemon called a Togepi in her arms like she always has.
"Pika..." a yellow Pokemon known as a Pikachu wandered, but saw Jesse and looked alarmed a bit. "PIKA PIIIII," he sounded alarmed from stranger danger.
"What, a stranger, where," the girl with long black hair exclaimed and then began to look around.
Pikachu clung to the girl like a surrogate mother.
"There, there, it's alright, Pikachu..." the girl tried to calm the Pokemon.
The boy with the hat came over and looked for the 'stranger'. "Anyone out there," he asked, a little protectively in case this stranger was a threat.
"Down here," Jesse said as he was now right next to the boat's side.
The people and the Pokemon looked down to see Jesse.
"PIIIIIKAAAAAA," Pikachu spazzed out, almost electrocuting his trainer.
"PIKACHU, CALM DOWN," the boy tried to settle the electric based Pokemon. "I'm sorry...he gets weird around new people..." he said to Jesse apologetically.
"It's alirght, but is he a Pikachu," Jesse asked, knowing all about Pokemon, especially since he watched every episode before and after reading and watching mystery movies and novels.
"Oh, yes, my first and best Pokemon," the boy grinned, "by the way, my name's Ash Ketchum."
The red-haired girl came over, holding her Togepi. "Oh, my...are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm okay, but, um...mind helping me get into your boat," Jesse asked, extending his hand out to them.
"Sure, come here," the stronger tan boy held out his hand to Jesse, trying not to get pulled into the ocean himself.
The girl with black hair also helped Jesse out of the ocean and onto the boat they were surprised at what they saw. The red-haired girl went to get a towel, but noticed the tail fin before it disappeared and became legs. In the distance, there was an older teenage girl with wavy black hair with a ponytail and ocean blue eyes. She swam off from the boat, swiftly going away like she was about to warn someone about something. No one else ever saw her.
"Whew, thanks," Jesse said, "by the way, my name is Jesse Greenwood."
"Hi, Jesse," Ash grinned.
"I'm Misty," the red-haired girl grinned, "I'm so glad you're not hurt."
"Yes, that'd be messy, the name's Tracey," the tan boy added.
"Emi, come meet our guest," Ash called to the black-haired girl, who seemed to resemble the woman Jesse met earlier by incident.
"A-coming, bro," the black-haired girl said as she made her road over to them, "hello, I'm Emi and it's so nice to meet you..."
Everything became silent as Emi and Jesse's eyes met and felt like they were the only two there.
"This is my sister, Emi," Ash said, but noticed that Jesse didn't respond in anyhow, "uhh...Jesse?"
"He looks like Brock since he sees Nurse Joy," Misty smirked a little.
"Can he help it if Nurse Joy just looks so beautiful," Tracey retorted.
Misty rolled her crystal blue eyes slightly. "You alright?"
"Yes...fine..." Jesse rubbed his bandanna covered head, but then noticed it wasn't there, "WHERE'S MY BANDANNA?! Mum gave me that on my first birthday!"
"Calm down, it's just a bandanna," Tracey warned him.
"It's not just a bandanna," Jesse seemed to be freaking out by letting out a loud, anguished shriek, "HEEELLLPPP!!!"
"Hey, it's gonna be alright....we'll help you...and perhaps find your family as well...they must be concerned," Ash grinned apologetically.
"Yes, they must be, I got separated from them by a storm and I also have to find my twin sister and cousin," Jesse said.
Then they noticed a bandanna floating in the water.
Meanwhile, the older teenage girl came away from the ocean, but dried her feet and her hair a little.
"Melody, there you are," Eric rushed to his daughter.
"Hey, Dad..." Melody looked to him. "I saw this other mer-boy, but I haven't seen him before."
"Are you sure," Eric looked curious.
"Yes..." Melody nodded, "do you think Mum might know him?"
"We'll have to ask, she's waiting for you in the dining room any matter," Eric took his daughter inside their home by the ocean.
"Hang on, we're coming," Melody said.
The crimson-haired now land woman and current queen, Ariel was at the dinner table, wearing her formal purple dress as Chef Louie stood side-by-side, waiting to serve the royal family.
"Mum...I have to ask you something I saw from my swim," Melody said to her mother, "it's very reluctant."
"Alright, we'll speak about it once we're alone," Ariel grinned as Louie served them before returning to the kitchen.
"But, Mum, it's very, very reluctant," Melody said.
"We're going to eat now, darling, it can wait..." Ariel warned her daughter.
Melody sighed, but gave in as she ate the best food anyone her age could be given. She couldn't hold it in any longer. "Mum, I have to tell you RIGHT NOW!!"
Ariel sighed. "Alright, Melody...Chef Louie, could we have some privacy?"
"Of course, madame..." the chef tipped his toque to her, but went into the kitchen.
Eric looked with a grin to his daughter. "Well, what's so reluctant that couldn't wait?"
Melody bit her lip as she tapped her fingers around the napkin she was holding. "I saw a mer-boy that I had never seen before..." she whispered, "but...he seemed so human.....he wore a shirt and a bandanna..."
Ariel and Eric looked puzzled, they never heard anyone under the sea that seemed like that.
"I'm serious, I saw him, I don't know, but he had a red tail fin..." Melody tried to back up her story, she felt like she wasn't believed.
"Very strange, I've never heard or met any mer-boy like the one you saw before," Ariel said.
"You don't think perhaps Ursula or Morgana are back..." Melody looked a little shocked.
"I really doubt it, darling, they're both long gone now," Eric tried to calm his daughter.
"What about Evil Manta or Marina del Rey," Melody hadn't met Marina, but had heard a story of her once as a bedtime story before she knew that the stories she was warned about the ocean were true, "perhaps they're in disguise trying to plague the ocean."
"I'll ask Daddy if he's seen anything odd, but I doubt that's the case," Ariel tried to soothe her daughter's concerns. She was curious herself of who this strange new mer-boy was.
Then they all went back to eating.
Meanwhile, back with the group, Ash's Lapras caught the bandanna and brought it over to them.
"Thanks, Lapras," Ash grinned, but got the bandanna back and dried it out, giving it to Jesse.
Jesse grinned and tied the bandanna back on his head where it belonged. "That's better."
"Pika," Pikachu grinned, he seemed to have grown fond of the new boy now.
"Hey there, boy," Jesse said, bending down to the Pokemon, while petting it, "man, this is amazing, I didn't know that Pokemon were real."
Pikachu purred from the petting.
"Oh, yes, they are," Misty grinned, "they do sound a little odd to some people, I admit, but they're grand companions and fun to train with...if only I could train Togepi though."
"Pikachu was Ash's first Pokemon," Emi grinned as she remembered that day.
"Also Professor Oak's idea," Ash added in with a chuckle.
"Professor Oak," Jesse said, "well, anyhow, where I'm from, we don't have any Pokemon, Pokeballs, or Pokedexes, we don't even have evolution stones."
"Your world sounds boring, little fella," Tracey chuckled a little, giving him a shove from Misty and Emi.
"I'm sorry about that," Emi said to Jesse, "I just can't imagine a world without Pokemon."
"Me neither, perhaps Pokemon are real and they just haven't showed themselves to the rest of the world, afraid of how everyone will want to treat them," Jesse said from his detective skills.
"Maybe that's it, we don't really know, but everyone we know at least has one," Emi shrugged.
"Do you also know Team Rocket," Ash asked their new friend.
"Team Rocket? Huh...no," Jesse responded, truthfully.
"Team Rocket's the worst," Misty looked frustrated.
"Ready for danger and make it double," Ash mocked the dangerous two with their speaking Pokemon companion.
"Team Rocket is almost always after our Pikachu," Emi explained to Jesse, "Jessie and James....they also have a Meowth that can speak. Their Boss wants Pikachu, but not just any for some reason...we always defeat them though and they go 'blasting away again', but they won't quit until they get what they come for."
"There are others though, but we mostly see those two, like there's Cassidy and Hutch," Misty added, getting the green-haired Team Rocket member's name wrong like always.
"They sound like their entire organization is evil while some of them are just plain annoying," Jesse said.
"Oh, you have no idea," Emi said.
"Especially their Meowth..." Ash rolled his eyes.
Teresa folded her arms as she sat near the sand with Sebastian carrying a gloomy black Parasol over her to keep the sun apart from her and vice versa.
"We can't find Jesse and Lex anywhere..." Martin frowned.
"And Auntie," Teresa asked sharply.
"Not sure where she could be either..." Darla pouted as she held Eloise close to her.
Teresa looked a little furious.
"And now we run...." Sebastian sensed frustration in his sister, "Teresa, calm..."
"We need to get her back," Teresa looked very frustrated, but pointed sharply to her brother's chest, "you know what'll happen if HE found out I'm yet alive and then is she!"
Then the phone rang.
"I'll get it," Cynthia said, "hello?"
"Who's he," Martin asked.
Teresa blinked, but folded her arms, turning her back on him. "I don't wanna speak about it..."
"You should warn him, he's your friend, besides, he might be able to help you find a road out of it," Sebastian prompted her, being like her childhood mentor again.
"He wouldn't understand..." Teresa snorted, "besides, you were there...it sounded ridiculous and look at what just happened!"
"Thank heavens for warning me, Erin, and please be sure to keep an eye out for Lex and Auntie Shrew alright," Cynthia asked.
"Alright, I'll keep an eye out for them," the female boat driver said from the other line.
Then Cynthia hung up the phone and where this caught Teresa's attention.
Teresa zipped over instantly. "Auntie Shrew?!"
Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "Teresa was never that fond of Auntie Shrew before..."
"Really," Martin and Darla asked.
"Yes, she..." Sebastian was about to warn them, but decided to wait since Eloise was there and he couldn't risk letting a child hear this.
"Where's the Shrew," Teresa asked Cynthia frantically.
"I don't know, but Jesse seems to be on boat with some Pokemon trainers and is now in the middle of *gulps* the Orange Islands," Cynthia said hesitantly, even though this was true, she was afraid that Teresa was going to freak out.
"Orange Islands," Teresa asked, "and you don't know where Auntie Shrew is?"
Cynthia nodded with a hesitant grin. Teresa blinked with a zany laugh, but shrieked, pulling her bow.
"Listen. I asked Erin to make sure that she keeps an eye out for Lex and Auntie Shrew. Then as soon as she finds them, she'll call us, now please let go of my fur and calm down," Cynthia said, trying to calm Teresa down.
Teresa scowled, folding her arms then and sighed. "I need a smoke...." she took out her pack, but took out one of the cigarettes.
Sebastian held out the lighter for her as she got one of the awful sticks into her mouth, lighting it. "You promised me you'd never smoke...you hated it since you were a toddler..."
"That was before I knew I'd live forever and nothing would murder me..." Teresa looked to him as she let smoke escape from her lungs, taking advantage of the benefits of being immortal.
"I just hope that the children will be alright," Cynthia said.
Meanwhile, back with the group, as the boat eventually climbed ashore up to an island called Shamouti Island...
Everyone got out, but they were greeted by people with spears and masks. Tracey looked hesitant and backed up with Misty, Ash, Jesse and Emi, a little afraid and overwhelmed.
"How are you," one of the people asked, removing a mask revealing to be a young woman with short brown hair with blue eyes, "it's been a while."
"Carol, how are you," the green-haired woman who was in charge of the boat grinned down as Pikachu scattered across deck, "it's grand to see you."
"What are you doing back on Shamouti Island," Carol asked.
"We got caught in a storm and came in and looks like we came at just the perfect time," Erin said.
"You're right, the village festival starts today," Carol said.
"This is my favorite island holiday," Erin beamed, "are you gonna be the star of the show again?"
"No, I'm too old to be the festival maiden anymore," Carol grinned apologetically, "then this year, my little sister's gonna take over for me. I wonder where she could b--"
"Right here," a sharp female voice called, revealing a younger girl with a green beret, sunglasses, a pink top with blue pants and sandals with an orange shoulder bag, "the only one here not wearing some foolish costume! You'd think I could in a couple of centuries we'd outgrow of this!"
"It's our tradition, you should be honored to take part," Carol snapped at her sister.
"Don't worry, I'll play my role in the big legend, I've only seen you do it like a zillion times," the girl said as if it didn't sound reluctant.
"Just be there! That's my little sister Melody, but don't be fooled, she's not always this adorable," Carol said before noticing Ash, Emi and Jesse, "who are these three?"
"Oh, I'm sorry," Erin smiled apologetically, "this is Ash Ketchum, and this is his sister, Emi, they're Pokemon trainers, and that's Jesse Greenwood, he's the son of a detective."
Ash grinned sheepishly.
"POKEMON TRAINERS AND A DETECTIVE'S SON," the crowd gasped, but happily cheered.
'Why did they suddenly all get emotional,' Jesse thought.
This also caught Melody's attention as she looked down to see what was happening. Misty looked a little steamed about Melody kissing Ash like that.
Melody looked to her. "Are you Jesse's big sister?"
"I am not," Misty hissed to her.
"Then I guess you must be Jesse or Ash's girlfriend," Melody shrugged.
"Ugh, gross," Misty snorted.
Emi seemed to blush about the girlfriend thing.
"Anyhow, why did you all cheer by the road," Jesse asked.
"It is because the legend foretells your arrivals that only with you three and the Guardian of the Waters vanquish the Titans of fire, ice and lightning. In your hands, oh Chosen Ones, rests the Earth's fate," an old man said seriously.
"It-it does," Ash asked hesitantly.
"Relax, boy, it's just for the tourists," the old man said before the beak of his mask closed, "blasted beak."
"And I don't think it's gross to be Jesse's/Ash's girlfriend, Misty, why don't you guys come to the banquet starts around 8:00," Melody said before putting on her sunglasses, "oh, and Misty, try not to get jealous."
This made the others chuckle to her as Pikachu climbed on top of Ash's head.
"We have found our chosen ones," the blue masked man called, which called for a celebration.
It was getting dark, Teresa stared along the ocean shores and sighed. She walked away and felt a sharp pain in her stomach as she caught it and fell down onto her knees within the sand.
"Teresa, are you alright," Sebastian rushed to her.
Cherry groaned and looked up to him suddenly with tears in her eyes. "We need to find Auntie Shrew before HE comes back to us...we're running out of time! He's found out we're all yet alive!"
Then the phone began to ring.
"Hello," Cynthia asked as she answered the phone.
"Mummy," Lex's voice said on the other line.
"Lex..." Cynthia whispered, but called to alert the others, "It's LEX!!"
"Mama, I didn't think I'd hear from you again," Lex cried from the other line.
"Oh, are you alright," Cynthia asked frantically, "are Jesse and Auntie Shrew with you? Are you hurt any? Are you hungry?"
"Me and Auntie Shrew are okay," Lex called out on the other line, "and I think I see Jesse with some new friends!"
"Where are you," Cynthia asked frantically.
Teresa rushed over. "Auntie Shrew, it's Mum, are you alright?"
"We are fine like Lex has said, Mum, but there are weird creatures here with Jesse and new friends," Auntie Shrew explained, sounding rather calm.
"They are called Pokemon and I can't believe I'm saying this but, their real Pokemon are actually real," Lex said.
"Did you guys swallow sea water," Teresa scoffed. "That's impossible. AAUGH," she caught her stomach, falling again.
Sebastian picked her up in his arms bridal-style fashion.
"Put me down," Teresa whined.
"Sis...." Auntie Shrew sounded concerned.
Then Teresa heard another voice on the phone saying 'pika pika pika pikachu'. She moaned as she held her stomach. "Pokemon..." she mumbled.
"There is a celebration happening here right now," Auntie Shrew cheered as the native music filled the air.
"Where are you," Teresa sounded sickly, "we'll come find you...."
"We're on Shamouti Island and it looks like they're having some kind of festival," Lex said.
"Auntie Shrew, you can't wander away too far," eresa cried.
"Why not, Sis," Auntie Shrew asked, "you never let me do anything fun! How come?"
"Auntie...it's not safe..."
"I am going to celebrate with Lex and you cannot stop me this time, Sis," Auntie Shrew yelled before it sounded like she was storming away.
"Auntie Shrew, wait! Farewell, everyone, see you all soon," Lex said before hanging up.
"Auntie.." Teresa whispered, "this isn't nice....now he'll find her for sure!"
"Y-You don't know that, Teresa..." Sebastian whispered.
"They brought him back from the dead after we escaped, he could find us anywhere," Teresa yelped.
"Who is she speaking about," Eloise asked the other children.
Martin and Cynthia shrugged.
"I can't let you all be apart of this..." Teresa said to them.
"Just warn them, Teresa..." Sebastian nudged his sister.
"Please warn us, Teresa," Cynthia said.
"It might make you feel better..." Darla soothed.
Teresa sighed as she shook a little, being taken to bed, but Sebastian allowed everyone to see her. Sebastian decided to take Eloise out of the room and allow her to play with his organ with Darla in the room since the sister and aunt rarely got to have time together. Sebastian would warn Darla once the story was over for them.
"Martin, Cynthia, do you remember after my 19th birthday if I committed suicide and Sebastian saved me by jumping after me and biting my neck, making me immortal like him," Teresa prompted.
"Yes, you also said that you had to move away because you mysteriously disappeared after that night since you made Forte go back to Belle and the Beast back in the 18th century and they all thought he was long dead for what he did on the enchanted Christmas," Cynthia nodded, remembering.
"Well, you see...I didn't exactly move off...until I disappeared......I was on my road back from somewhere, but it started to rain and I met this young couple who had just gotten engaged and they decided to give me a ride, but they were lost themselves and they ended up in a castle..." Teresa started to explain.
"Who were they," Martin asked.
"Well, they were interesting......people..." Teresa said, "their domestic Magenta, their handyman Riff Raff, their groupie Columbia, and their master who was a prince and also a doctor who held the secret to life itself...they're all aliens from a galaxy hidden from known scientists and planeteers called Transylvania."
"Never heard of these people..." Cynthia whispered a bit.
"I knew their Old Queen, Lavender," Sebastian put in, "if Teresa came to visit, she was forced to stay.....she had no choice because they were looking for the prince's long-lost daughter who had been separated from them and they were going to try to bring her home to become the rightful heir to Transsexual, Transylvania."
"Why would they make you stay," Martin asked.
"Why do you think," Teresa responded his question with a response.
"Well, then the true heir of the throne would come," Cynthia guessed.
"They already had," Teresa said.
Cynthia did a double take. "Wait...are you the alien princess?"
"Yes..." Teresa nodded, "after they warned me to stay, Frank warned me he was my biological father and he incidentally lost me years ago and came to Earth to look for me, but his servants Riff Raff and Magenta were begging to return home after they thought I could be dead for all they knew, but Frank fell in love with Earth and most of its inhabitants...as the Queen died, Frank was made the new King and I was to be the next one in line for the throne and I really didn't want to. Sebastian came to work in the castle as a music tutor for me where he could become closer to me and then I realized that he actually and sincerely loves me and I let him became my firstborn's foster father and then Auntie Shrew was conceived...he wanted to banish Sebastian and he wanted to get rid of Riley since she was the grandchild he never wanted, where he made me give her up to Belle and Adam's doorstop and never be seen again...Frank was murdered by Riff Raff and he and Magenta were going to go back home themselves with me, but I faked my death in my bed and they found me dead, then Sebastian sneaked side-by-side and took me back...a while later, I found Sebastian and Auntie Shrew, bringing our family back together...but Frank came back to life somehow and with Auntie Shrew out there, he'll find her and take her and either murder her or force her to be married and make him an heir or heiress to the throne."
"Oh, dear," Cynthia said.
"Don't worry, Jesse is with them he's had one other fact that's on my side," Jesse said, showing what he meant by lifting up an whole sofa above his head, without straining or falling down.
"You don't understand.....I'm from a species that eats human beings and has serious frustration issues," Teresa said to him. "Frank even tried to make the perfect man that was big and strong...these people will eat up your emotions! They have no souls! Especially Magenta..." she pouted, "I've spent the past six years as her chew toy..."
"Oh, dear," Martin said, "well, then, we might need to get to the Orange Islands immediately."
"I can't..." Teresa looked very weak, "I don't know how....don't ask me...but they've found me and they're draining me of my immortality until they find me or Auntie Shrew..."
"Oh, dear," Martin said.
While this was going on, Jesse eventually found Lex and Auntie Shrew and he had found them at the same banquet that he and his new friends were going to attend. Lex, Auntie Shrew and Jesse spoke as they followed Ash, Tracey, Misty and Emi up with the islanders, speaking about what just happened with them.
'This is grand, now I found Lex and Auntie Shrew and now we're going to a banquet,' Jesse thought.
"Are you alright, Auntie," Lex asked.
Auntie Shrew snorted, folding her arms. "Foolish sister...." she mumbled, "she never liked me...she left me and Papa if I was born and came back, but she barely pays any of the attention to me!"
"I wish that Teresa Brisby has a reason," Jesse said.
"Papa says she is silly..." Auntie Shrew muttered.
Pikachu blinked to her, but jumped in her arms, cuddling with her and not zapping her at all.
Auntie Shrew blinked, but grinned. "You are the cute strange monster fact I had ever saw."
"He's not a monster, Auntie, he's a Pokemon," Lex said.
"Well, he's kind of a monster," Ash shrugged.
"Battle monster to be exact," Misty added, "but he won't hurt you."
"You are yet the most cute fact there ever would be," Auntie Shrew grinned as she yet held Pikachu for Ash and Emi.
"You're the second person Pikachu has warmed up fast to," Emi said.
"I guess he just likes me......" Auntie Shrew shrugged as she held the yellow Pokemon.
"Pika Pi..." Pikachu nuzzled with her.
"He does like you and Jesse as well," Emi said, "you guys must be special."
"Papa says I am a lot like Mum since she was a little girl..." Auntie Shrew shrugged as they were going for a table.
Once they each went to a table, they all sat down.
"I hope we get to see more Pokemon," Lex said.
"I wish you guys will," Emi smiled as she allowed Jesse to take a seat next to her.
There was a lot of lively music and there seemed to be a parade as big as Chinese New Year with Pokemon costumes and floats. Erin was warning jokes to her friend Carol, who laughed giddily in reply. People came with food for their guests and they happily ate while Misty looked rather steamed about something.
"I can't wait to see what our parts in the legend ceremony are gonna be," Ash warned his sister and new friend.
"Same with me," Jesse and Emi said in unison and then blushed as soon as they noticed they spoke at the same time.
"Um, are you alright," Lex asked Misty.
Misty ate her food rather aggressively. "How dare that girl ask if I'm Ash's girlfriend! The very nerve!"
Auntie Shrew looked suspicious of her. "Chip was the same fashion until Gabrielle called us boyfriend and girlfriend..."
"I don't know what you're speaking about..." Misty huffed a little.
Melody eventually got to sit with Ariel and discuss who she saw and described him.
"He sounds a lot like my cousin from the land..." Ariel remarked.
"You had a cousin on land, Mum," Melody looked curious.
"Yes, I did so," Ariel nodded, "jis name is Martin.....I haven't seen him in a very long time, he works as a detective now, but that's all I know. He's also close with my first mouse friend Teresa like brother and sister. Martin's mother was your grandmother's sister."
"I never knew that, what was she like," Melody asked.
Ariel sighed mournfully, but yet grinned. "Your grandfather and your aunts say I was a lot like her...she really loved music and sang us to sleep every night before we would go to bed. It really wasn't the same without her for a real long time...but at last, we all moved ahead and facts seemed better again...then I met your father......"
"I wish that she could be here," Melody said.
"So do I..." Ariel hugged her daughter as she slightly sniffled.
Melody hugged her mother back.
"I wish this boy you mentioned could be a son of Martin..." Ariel said as she looked to the distance.
Melody backed up a little. "Could we see them? I'd love to meet them....."
Ariel shrugged, but grinned. "Well...alright...I'm not sure how though.....there's a lot of odd creatures called Pokemon around these days."
"Oh, please, Mum, please," Melody begged, really willing to meet her relatives she had never met before.
Ariel chuckled with a sweet grin. "I see why your grandfather sees more me in you than your father...but, alright...you can also get to know your aunts and uncle better if we happen to run into them."
"Yes," Melody said out of victory, happy to know that she would get to know her aunts and uncle and cousins.
Ariel went to her husband, explaining that Melody would like to go to the sea and meet her relatives. "Would you like to come with us, Eric?"
"I'd love to come," Eric said, "besides, the more family the merrier."
Ariel grinned to her husband. "Sure. Let's go warn her the best news then."
Glen, Annie, Rae and Dwight set out to finding the children. They saw a lighthouse ahead and heard lively music.
"Oh, Teresa, you wouldn't wanna go there..." Dwight mocked his trainer, "it's tons of fun...."
Rae scowled at him, leaving ahead in silence.
"Nice one, Romeo," Annie said.
"Yes, nice," Patch said. He had decided to come along with them.
Dwight sighed as he followed the others to find their children.
As the others sat with their food, Carol's sister Melody was on stage dressed up and playing with a conch shell to make music for everybody. She almost looked like a glowing bride on her wedding day.
"Guys, that's her," Tracey called, "that girl, remember the beach?"
"Melody..." Ash and Jesse whispered, they seemed to be blown off by her.
Riley and Misty looked jealous, but did well to hide it. Melody played her song as she kept dancing along on stage with grace. The people of the land really enjoyed it and were glad that the girl decided to go along with it.
"She's a big show-off," Misty huffed.
"For once I agree," Riley looked frustrated.
Melody concluded her song, which earned her a pleased applause. Then she came down the stage, making her road to Ash, Jesse and Riley. "Hear ye all," she called to the people of their land as she made an announcement about Ash and Jesse, seeming to exclude Riley and Lex. "Oh, Chosen Ones," she came to Ash and Jesse, "you must climb to the shrine of which is wrong, and the world will be healed by the guardian song!"
"What have they done," Auntie Shrew asked.
"I just warned them," Melody smirked.
"Yes, we heard all that stuff, but what have we done to do," Ash asked.
"Oh, it won't be very hard, guys, not for you," Melody said as she stood up, "besides, all the Chosen Ones come back alive."
"Melody," Carol called to her sister.
Melody chuckled, waving to her, but turned back. "All you have to do is get this glass ball with three eyes," she said, presenting with fruits. "One for Fire Island, one for Ice Island, and one for Lightning Island. And you have to bring them to the shrine back here. And then, I celebrate by playing this song," she got up, twirled around and played her shell again.
"And then it's over, oh, Chosen Ones," Melody said, bowing slightly.
"Do we get to wear a cool costume," Ash asked, very emotionally.
"I'm sorry, but it's just come as you are," Melody said as she collected the pear from Ash's hands as she took a bite out of it. "Besides, you look perfect to me, handsomest Chosen Ones in years," she winked to them.
"Alright, get me a boat and I'm ready," Ash stood up, "how about you, Jesse?"
"Yes," Jesse said, "how about Riley?"
"Oh, don't worry about them or be in such a rush," Melody made them sit down, "tonight's just for the festival. Stay and have some fun!"
"Well, some facts are more reluctant than fun," Ash stood up again with Jesse, "we're Ash and Jesse, the Chosen Ones! This is serious, we must be responsible!"
"That's a switch..." Misty scoffed as she ate a grape.
"You know what, I like your attitudes," Erin grinned as she came over, "we can take MY boat, guys."
"Alright," Ash and Jesse cheered.
"You guys coming," Ash looked to the girls.
"Yes, Riley, besides, you're a chosen one as well," Jesse said.
Pikachu caught Ash's hat and scampered away, getting their attention.
"Pikachu," Ash and Riley cried.
Pikachu kept running with the hat, making everyone follow after him.
"Pikachu, get back here with Ash's hat," Jesse called out.
Pikachu kept going.
By the time the adults went to the festival, it seemed like it was no use.
"THEY'RE GONE," Rae looked very menacing.
But then she saw Lex and Auntie Shrew with Misty, Togepi and Tracey.
"Hey, have you seen children around here," Rae asked.
"Yes, but what did they look like," Misty asked, a little frightened by this woman who looked rather young to be a mother.
"Twins, a boy and a girl, and a little girl who's a little incident prone," Rae explained.
"A little incident prone," Dwight snorted under his breath.
Rae elbowed him in the stomach.
"Rae Lindley," Lex called out with a grin, "Mum!"
"Lex," Annie rushed to her daughter, hugging her instantly.
"Hello, Mum..." Auntie Shrew looked blankly up to her mother.
"Auntie...they didn't get you....." Rae whispered as she hugged her daughter, literally for the first time and where this shocked Auntie Shrew.
"Lex, where's your brother," Glen asked.
"He's with Ash and the others, Pikachu took Ash's hat," Lex shrieked.
"Ash," Dwight seemed not to know this Ash despite knowing almost everyone anyone else knew.
"Which fashion did they go," Annie asked.
"That fashion," Auntie Shrew pointed to the distance as it looked like there was a couple of people with a cat figure coming through the water not too far from them.
"Better get them," Rae picked up Auntie Shrew in her arms to hold.
"They must have gotten on a boat and are now possibly crossing the ocean to get to somewhere," Glen said.
"Then who are these folks," Annie saw the people in the boat coming.
Dwight squinted his eyes. "One of them looks like a former student of mine...I was also a private tutor."
"Worst teacher ever....." Rae glanced up at him.
"C'mon, we must get them," Lex cried.
Misty looked at who they were speaking about and just moaned.
"What is this," Lex asked her.
"Team Rocket," Misty sighed.
Lightning bolts were in the distance.
"The storm looks bad, what if they can't make it to the island," Melody said before looking to her sister, "Carol, I have to take your boat."
"I'm not getting in a boat," Rae said strictly.
"What are you going to do, stay out here in the pouring rain," Dwight glanced at her.
"I hate boats..." Rae frowned around everyone in response.
"Well, fine, you can stay here, but I'm going after them," Melody said.
"But Melody, what have you done," Carol asked.
"Just trust me," Melody glanced to her sister before leaving.
Then Misty, Tracey carrying Togepi and Lex joined her. The rain frantically drizzled down as they went out to the water.
"Mum, let me go with them," Auntie Shrew ran away after the others.
"AUNTIE, NO," Rae cried as her daughter left, "AUNTIE, GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!!"
Auntie Shrew frowned at her trainer. "NO," she yelled before continuing to go.
Rae moaned as she knew that she had to go after her.
"Let me get her....I am her father....." Dwight said.
"No, you've had her lifetime of this, allow me..." Rae sighed as she went after their daughter.
Dwight allowed her to go after Auntie Shrew. Rae couldn't get her clothes wet, where she took them apart, showing her black underclothes.
Dwight whistled in the distance, his eyes widening at that. "I remember why we got married again..." he muttered.
Rae went back a little and jumped into the water, swimming the best she could once the boat was leaving without her.
"C'mon, Annie," Glen said.
Both of them dove in and changed into their mer-people forms and began to swim where they could follow the boat. Dwight sat once he was alone and started to contemplate his life.
Triton floated over the water, seeing his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. "Are you all ready?"
"Yes, Triton, and thank you for letting me do this as well," Eric warned him gratefully.
"It's my pleasure...." Triton nodded, but he raised his golden trident, turning them all into mer-people themselves, even Eric was given a dark blue tail fin where he could join his family.
Then they all dived in, not knowing that this was going to be an adventure that would have the fate of the world in it.
Meanwhile, with Erin, Ash, Riley, Jesse and Pikachu......
"I hope the legend ceremony doesn't include a funeral," Ash gulped as they dodged another murderous wave.
This storm was pretty bad, they might not be able to make it to the island.
Melody was running away to get a boat. "You stay in the dry and warmth, we'll be back," she warned Dwight as they went away.
Dwight nodded, about to go inside as the storm was getting worse by the moment. Then Misty got into the boat.
"What are you coming for," Melody frowned at Misty.
"To find my friends," Misty snapped back, "and you think it's because I like Ash, then you're wrong, because I don't!"
"Hey, chill out, you seem stern about someone who's not your boyfriend."
"He's not my boyfriend! He's a boy and a friend, but he's not my boyfriend!"
"You two speaking about me," Tracey asked as he came into the boat.
"Togepi," Togepi said.
"I don't think they did so," Lex said as she came into the boat.
Melody looked sharp as she drove the boat through the water, able to get there more swiftly than Erin's boat. Little did they know, Team Rocket had sneaked aboard.
"I hope we don't die in the storm," Lex said.
The clouds were breaking apart surprisingly enough.
"It looks like the storm's over," Riley called out.
"But the waves keep getting rougher," Erin stated.
"This is it, we're going to be in for a wild ride," Jesse called out.
And where Jesse was right, it was going to be a wild ride as the waves kept getting rougher. The waves were so extreme that the waves pushed the boat out of the water, but right back in.
"I'm sorry, Eloise, your surprise will have to wait until a later time," Darla warned her daughter as she kept her inside with Dwight Mercer.
"But, Mummy, I wanted it...." Eloise was warned she was going to be given a big shock and a nice surprise today, but pouted that it would have to be delayed.
"I'm sorry, darling..." Darla hugged her daughter.
"This is so unfair, I hate storms," Eloise said.
"Chin up, darling," Dwight attempted to soothe the girl, "it won't last forever......"
"Mercer's right," Darla nodded in agreement, but looked curiously to him, "where's your wife and daughter?"
Dwight sighed sharply. "Get out now..."
"But wait, you mean they're out there in that storm," Eloise asked, "are they crazy?!"
"My daughter takes after her mother's ambitions," Dwight merely shrugged, "though, I don't remember her being like this..."
"She was always dark and gloomy if I first met her," Darla said to the social worker.
"She wasn't...I think that was probably my fault..." Dwight rubbed his arm, "back since I first knew her as a child...while the other servants were interested in getting Belle and the Master together to become human again."
"Wow," Eloise said.
"I've always wondered about how you two got completely together..." Darla said as she sat down at a seat.
"Well, wherever you want a story, I'll be happy to warn you," Dwight replied.
"Story," Eloise sounded interested.
"Yes...it's always been a big part of our lives..." Dwight looked out the window and sighed as the storm seemed to be getting hard, but not as rough as earlier.
Ash and Jesse were past a temple once they eventually got Ash his hat back.
"We made it, but..." Abigail said.
Then Pikachu got off the boat and began to run towards and up the stairs to the temple.
"Pikachu, wait," Amelia called.
Ash, Jesse, and Riley began to go after Pikachu.
"Wait, Ash, Jesse, Amelia, we shouldn't, the wind might pick up again," Abigail called out to them.
"But Pikachu's been acting really weird lately," Amelia called back.
"Wait, Pikachu doesn't act like this from time to time," Jesse asked Abigail.
"Never," Amelia said.
"Then we better find out why Pikachu is acting this fashion then," Jesse said.
Then all three of them continued to follow after Pikachu to find out why it was acting so strange. Team Rocket was hiding behind rocks, they felt lucky as the wind blew and there was coming the yellow Pokemon that their boss always sent them for. They all laughed as it seemed like they were eventually going to get what they wanted. Ash kept following his Pokemon, not understanding why it was acting like this fashion, but hopefully it would stop soon. Pikachu did stop at the top of the steps and there seemed to be some ancient temple behind him once Ash eventually came.
Jesse and Abigail also eventually came to the top of the stairs to see the ancient temple. Pikachu disappeared once they eventually came. Ash, Jesse and Amelia walked up, seeing the temple, wondering about it.
Pikachu climbed the top of it, looking at them. "Pika Pika Pikachu..." he chittered, gesturing to a red sphere inside of the statue's mouth.
"The ancient sphere...." Ash whispered once he recognized it and reached out to catch it. Once he caught it, he began to pull it. It seemed to be stuck, where Abigail and Jesse helped him out.
Pikachu chanted to them strictly, as if he was encouraging them to try harder.
"C'mon, we can do it," Jesse called out.
Ash kept trying, but sure enough, it was eventually loose. He walked out of the temple with his Pokemon, sister and new friend and he saw that there appeared to be a fire inside of the ball.
"Pika," Pikachu said to them, but went away again, he seemed to know everything now.
"Let's get going to Lightning Island next," Jesse said as he followed Pikachu.
Pikachu went with them, however, Team Rocket was there.
"Oh, dear..." Ash and Amelia moaned.
Meowth stood in front of the two humans with a smirk with the blue-haired boy and the pink bonnet goose in their Team Rocket uniforms.
"Who are these three," Jesse asked.
"Team Rocket..." Ash grumbled.
"Jessie," the girl said her name.
"And James," the boy said.
"We're in a hurry and the weather's looking nasty out here," Amelia yelled at them.
"It has been naughty, always like our luck," Jessie pouted, but looked sharp to the children, "but our luck's changed and our ship's eventually come in!"
As she said that, as if on cue, a ship came up in the air. Jessie, James and Meowth turned around and shrieked as the ship came and they ran away, shrieking to avoid it. There was a merman from behind the ship who lifted his golden trident to make the ship ride over safely.
"Faster, get out of the road," Jesse called out.
"Well, I hope you're happy, Mr. Hero," Melody snapped once the ship completely came in and they got away just in time and scolded them for not staying where they were told to.
"Welcome to my world..." Misty sighed as she hugged her Togepi.
"How did you guys get over these waves," Amelia asked.
"You're not gonna believe this, but there was a King Merman out at the sea that helped us," Tracey explained.
"That's right..." Amelia snorted in disbelief.
"A king merman," Jesse asked, "yes, I don't know whether to believe you or not."
"Listen to me, boy," Jessie cut in as she, James and Meowth were almost beaten up, "if you get into fault with the opposite sex, you're asking for danger!"
"Yes, and that's the kind of damage I stay out of," James grinned a little.
"Yes, these two don't need the opposite sex because they had each other," Meowth added.
"WHAT DOES THAT MEAN," Jessie hissed at the speaking Pokemon.
Meowth began to laugh and Lex joined in. There were suddenly sparks and an electrified bird-like fashion was zapping the ground, making everyone try to dodge them, especially Team Rocket.
"That's a Zapdos," Jesse recognized.
The electric bird Pokemon zapped certain rocks, which made them glow blue.
"This is bad," Lex said.
The Zapdos kept zapping, but luckily, none of them were hurt.
"Pika..." Pikachu stood up, his red cheeks charging up as he was ready to charge, even if he wasn't commanded to do so.
"Pikachu, no," Ash yelled.
"Pika...CHUUUUUU," Pikachu zapped off anyhow to face the Zapdos.
Zapdos kept flapping its arms and zapped the pikachu right back, almost knocking him out cold.
"Oh, is he alright," Amelia asked worriedly.
The Zapdos was going down and slowly landed back on the stone temple, petrifying itself. There were yet a few sparks here and there, however, refused to be infuriated.
"W-What's going on," Lex asked.
"I am not liking this......" Auntie Shrew shook a little.
Pikachu kept trying to shock the Zapdos, running out of energy very faster.
"Pikachu is zapping, but Zapdos isn't even feeling its attacks," Jessie observed.
"These aren't attacks, Jessie," Meowth said to her, "Pikachu's trying to speak to Zapdos! It's saying 'what are you doing here on Fire Island'," he translated as the humans watched the Pokemon interact.
Jesse, Lex and Auntie Shrew were now able to understand and speak to the Pokemon as one of the sparks hit each of them. Zapdos and Pikachu zapped each other very aggressively.
"Translation," Jessie asked.
"What's it saying," James added.
"It's saying that 'Moltres used to rule here, but now that Moltres is gone, lightning shall rule over fire and I proclaim this island as mine from this day forward'," Meowth, Amelia, Jesse, Lex and Auntie Shrew translated.
"I guess Moltres flew the coop," Meowth had a small laugh at that.
The electrical shocks were getting a lot worse. They were going up high over the cloudy heavens and something strange was slowly coming down from the heavens that didn't look like a cloud. The humans all looked afraid and shocked.
Rae folded her arms as she looked out to the surface, looking dark and cold as always. "They are going to die......" she muttered.
"WHAT," Eloise overheard that, "no, they can't!"
"They might...who can say, really," Rae merely shrugged, avoiding eye contact with the girl.
"But, how can you warn," Eloise asked.
Rae sighed. "My life...she is very unpleasant..."
"Eloise, I think you should get some sleep now..." Darla said to her daughter.
"No, Mummy, not until I know Jesse, Amelia and Auntie Shrew are alright," Eloise protested.
"But, darling..." Darla said.
"Please, Mummy..." Eloise begged.
Darla sighed, but then grinned softly. "Well...alright..."
"Do you know if they're alright?"
"I'm afraid I don't, darling..."
"They should be fine as long as they follow their destinies," Dwight chimed in, attempting to help, "I don't know much about these Pokemon, can they murder you?"
"Not the ones I've read about," Rae said, glancing back at him, "they DO have life threatening powers though like electrical storms, but they often only attack others for leisure for their trainer's benefit to earn more where they can catch them all."
"Amazing," Eloise said. "Could I have one," she asked her trainer.
"Oh, I don't know if Mr. Salamone would allow Pokemon running around his hotel..." Darla chuckled hesitantly, she may have been loved in the hotel enough for them to have Eloise wander around by herself while she would work, but she knew that some of the Pokemon would be enough to make the hotel manager literally hit the roof.
"Huh..." Eloise folded her arms, pouting firmly.
"But, we'll see what we can do," Darla said.
Eloise chuckled and hugged her mother, she really valued this time she got to spend with her since Darla lived apart from the Plaza Hotel and often traveled the world, but everyone was usually nice and patient with Eloise because they loved Darla and her Nanny so much. It was also a sign that Darla really redeemed herself as a former child star.
"I don't see sparks anymore..." Rae said as she never left the window.
Dwight rushed to her side to take a look as well.
"What is going on out there," Darla asked.
"I'm not sure, but I think there's a blimp or something out there," Rae glanced back.
"It looks like some kind of floating castle," Eloise said.
"Perhaps we should go over there..." Rae shrugged her shoulders.
"We'll go, Darla, keep your daughter safe," Dwight said warning.
"Aw, Mercer, can't I--" Eloise wanted to ask.
"No, child...you stay with your trainer..." Dwight said as he put Rae into a warmer coat since it was colder outside now.
"Yes, sir," Eloise moaned.
"C'mon, we better hurry before someone gets murdered..." Rae said as she left with her social worker.
Dwight nodded, following her. "Be careful..." she warned the two, but walked away.
"It'll be all right, Ellie..." Darla warned her daughter sweetly, "besides, look at it this fashion, we can spend more time together...I miss you every day Nanny or you call me from the Plaza."
"I've missed you as well, Mother," Eloise said.
"I'm sorry I'm not around often, believe me, I would if I could....." Darla soothed, "I'd let you come to my school, but you remember the nursery school incident...I'm not sure if you'd be mature enough to stay with me and your 'Aunt' Amber."
"Oh, please, Mother, I've grown up so much now that I'm six," Eloise spun around in a pirouette like she almost always did so.
"Oh, I don't know, darling..." Darla was really unsure about Eloise going with her which is why Eloise stayed at the hotel while she would be away teaching at the boarding school out of the country.
The floating castle was now coming down slowly. The gang, including Team Rocket was going with it. The Zapdos was also trapped and unable to fly off from the dark forces. The ship was going into the castle and they were locked inside. Hope, Laura and Bob looked up.
"They were there," Hope pointed up, she didn't completely see, but she caught a glimpse of Jesse and Gertie, "now they're stuck..."
"There must be a fashion for us to help them," Bob said.
"How, Daddy," Hope asked.
"Laura, do you know anyone who could help," Bob asked his wife.
Hope hoped that there was a fashion to help them.
"I-I'm not sure..." Laura said softly. Then she looked in the distance, squinting her eyes. "Is that...Rae?"
"Yes, I think that is," Bob said.
"It can't be, what's she doing out here......" Hope had to wonder.
A familiar slender merman with copper brown eyes came up. "Laura...?"
Laura turned to him and recognized him instantly and hugged him. "Peter!"
The two shared a hug, but had to break it up.
"Hope thinks she saw someone strange and they were taken up to that castle," Laura pointed up, even if that story sounded strange.
Peter looked up and hummed. "I see..." he believed her somehow, "I may not be like your father, but I'll try to help."
"Thanks, you're the biggest," Laura said.
"Sure..." Peter grinned to his new family, also very thrilled to be an uncle. "You have cousins to meet," he warned Hope.
Hope chuckled.
"One of these Pokemon creatures will help us," Peter explained, "one that lives in water, looks like an otter and a seagull."
"Cool," Hope said.
"I'm not sure what it's called though," Peter said.
"How have you been," Laura asked him.
"I'm fine...but...someone promised to meet me and have a surprise for me, but I guess the storm has kept them apart..." Peter sighed as he stared at the water they were in.
"DWIGHT, GET US UP THERE," Rae yelled, upset.
"That is Rae," Laura recognized.
Hope looked over. "Rae Lindley?"
"That's Rae for sure," Bob said.
The mer-people swam over, incidentally splashing over the immortal woman.
"WATCH IT," Rae hissed, but noticed who splashed her, "Laura?"
"Rae..." Laura whispered.
"What are you doing here," Rae asked, wringing her hair now.
"We were gonna ask you the same fact," Hope remarked.
"We're looking for my daughter," Rae said.
"Why is this if you care about her she's your daughter," Dwight rolled his eyes.
"Because she's a caring mother," Hope said.
Dwight snorted. "Caring mother...." he muttered.
"I am..." Rae frowned up at him, but looked to the mer-people, "again, why are you here?"
"Hope says she saw someone familiar that we haven't met before and they were taken up to a castle in the heavens," Laura explained.
"A castle in the heavens," Rae asked, she sounded like she didn't believe that story, but instead, she said, "you know, I believe you...."
"You do," Bob was shocked.
"After a crazy night I had with aliens, I believe anything..." Rae gave a nod, "my daughter is probably with them now...Glen's daughter Lex called Annie to warn them that they were alright, but they're probably taken by now."
"Glen has a daughter," Laura asked.
"Twins and another boy actually, Jesse and Tim," Rae explained, "you must not have spoken in years..."
"Wow, I did not see that coming," Hope said.
"Laura," Glen asked as soon as he saw his mermaid cousin.
Laura looked to her cousin. "Glen!"
Dwight looked up at the castle. "I hope they're all alright for now."
Peter grinned once he saw Glen, if it wasn't for Glen, he would yet be a homeless mer-boy with no family of his own until it was convinced to Nicodemus to adopt Peter into the royal family. Hope looked and saw that Glen did look a little like the mer-boy she saw.
Meanwhile in the strange floating castle, there were other trapped Pokemon, including Zapdos while the children, Pikachu and Team Rocket were trapped in a cage.
"Look over there," Jesse said, pointing to the cage that had Moltres in it.
Tracey was shocked at the sight.
"What's this," Melody hummed as she saw something by their cage.
Auntie Shrew took a look and saw the writing better than anyone else. "'Disturb not the Harmony of Ice and Lightning. You must please the titans of this world in which they clash'..."
"What do you suppose it means," Melody asked the shrew.
"I am not knowing for sure..." Auntie Shrew had a shrug.
A lever was heard being lowered, making everyone turn to it.
"I have a feeling our villain is coming down to greet us," Lex said.
"A bigger villain than we," James sounded insulted at her assumption.
A man with slightly spiked hair came down to see the group. "Well, this certainly is a pleasure...though not an expected one," he stood up once he got on the floor, "what do you think of Moltres the bird of fire and Zapdos, the bird of lightning?"
"Disgusting," Misty hissed, "the fashion you speak about it, it's like Pokemon are facts to collect, what kind of trainer are you?!"
"Yes, what kind of a trainer are you," Lex asked, out of frustration.
"He's sounding more like a collector, but this kind of collector is just wrong," Jesse said.
"I could not agree more," Auntie Shrew said to Jesse.
"Sicko," Gertie growled.
"I'm afraid I'm not a trainer, young people," the man said to them in return. "I am merely a collector. I began my collection with a new start and I have all this. Legendary Pokemon have always been my passion," he clicked a button, releasing them to the floor. "And soon, my collection itself will be legendary," he had a computer warn him about any new Pokemon out there for him to add to his collection and one had as it took curse to the wind. "Now, you'll have to excuse me......" he said as he sat back down and going back in the higher grounds where he was.
"The legend...could it be," Melody muttered.
"You mean the legend about the world coming to an end," Lex asked.
"It could if we don't stop this monster," Melody looked to her.
The storm was getting stronger outside.
Darla sighed as there was no sign of her family and she felt alone, but she yet had Tim and Eloise with her. "I need to get some sleep......Eloise..."
"Please, Mother, just a little longer," Eloise begged.
"Darling, I'm sorry, but it's late enough as that is..." Darla said softly and tiredly, "you're a growing girl and you need your rest...I'm going to bed and I suggest you do the same."
"Aunt Darla's right, Eloise," Tim said, winking at her, warning her that he had a plan.
"But Tim--" Eloise looked to him, but saw the wink, "oh...you are so right, right, right! We'll get to bed, Mother."
"Thank heavens..." Darla yawned, but stood up, "I'm sorry, darling, we just have to hope they'll be fine in the morning..."
"Yes, well, we'll be heading to bed," Tim said.
"Good night, darling..." Darla grinned.
"Night, Mummy..." Eloise kissed her mother on the cheeks in a fancy French-style fashion, but went away with Vincent.
Darla yawned, but walked away to bed, very tired, she was also thinking perhaps she should be with Eloise more, being her mother. She was always gone and Eloise did have Nanny, but she needed a stronger female role model like herself.
She remembered sending Eloise to nursery school, but it led to an unspeakable traumatic experience for the caregivers and she worked in a boarding school with her best friend Amber...she couldn't stay at the hotel in New York, she would be jobless and not as rich and able to afford nice facts for the family. She was stuck on what to do...she decided to give Amber a call about this. And that was what she did so, unknowing to her that Eloise and Tim were going to sneak out.
"Hey, Amber, it's Darla..." the blonde woman said gently on the phone.
"Hey, Darla, you alright," Amber asked, sounding a little busy, but had time for her best friend, "you sound exhausted."
"I am...long story...I was wondering what to do about my little Eloise," Darla sighed a little, "you know...she lives in New York with my old Nanny..."
"Oh, yes, I know all about Eloise and of what just happened at the hotel on Christmas time," Amber said.
"That was pretty sweet....." Darla grinned, surprised she was able to make that plane to get home in time to hug Eloise on Christmas and actually celebrate with her, it was a Christmas miracle alright. Then she frowned. "I think she's so rough all the time because...well...I'm not there...and...she's never met her father...I wanted to surprise her about him today, but there's a storm here.....and I don't know what to do with her, I can't leave the school and stay with little Ellie and I'm not sure if she's ready to go to a real school again..."
"You must follow your heart," Amber said.
Darla sighed, but yawned. "Yes...miss you...you should come to Paris with us sometime...I never knew this about myself until Glen found some records one time...apparently, I'm of French descent....." she kept speaking with her best friend.
Eloise put on her coat and buttoned up the heart-shaped buttons. "Ready," she whispered to Tim.
"Ready," Tim said before giving her a magic necklace.
"What's this," Eloise held it, tilting her head.
"This will give you the ability to become a mermaid," Tim said before kissing her on top of her head, "and that will give you the ability to understand and speak to animals."
"Oh, alright..." Eloise blinked, but chuckled with a slight grin. "Perhaps I can speak to Weenie and Skipperdy if I get back home..." she put on the necklace before they walked out to the water.
"Amber, I think I know what to do," Darla said on the phone before hanging up for the night. "I decided that Eloise can come to school with me if she's ready, and if not, I'll try to look for work in New York where she doesn't just have Nanny..." she sighed, feeling lost as she wouldn't be rich anymore, "it's for my daughter."
"I'm happy for you, Darla," Amber said.
"I'll let her decide....." Darla gave a nod, but she mentioned it was late and she needed to get some sleep, where she hung up and went to get ready for bed.
Eloise and Tim walked to the end of the water as the wind got stronger.
"Ooh, I'm so cold, cold, cold," Eloise shuddered.
Then Tim gave her his coat. Eloise sniffled slightly, but she held the coat until they would go under the water. Then it was time for them to go in, after counting to three. Eloise shut her eyes tight and tried to hold her breath, she believed Vincent, but was a little hesitant about actually going in the water, but not needed to swim necessarily. Then they both dove in and then the necklace began to glow and and where Eloise's legs began to glow as did Tim's legs. Eloise was given a pink tail fin while Tim was given a green one. The girl opened her eyes and saw she was now a young mermaid, the bow in her hair disappeared and now it looked like it was replaced with a mauve seashell.
"Wow, look at me," Eloise chuckled, she felt like she was living in one of her dreams.
"Cool, looks grand on you, cousin," Tim said.
Eloise grinned. "I guess we better go......help me out a little though?"
Tim did so as they were swimming to save their family members.
Darla went to their bedroom to say goodnight to them. "Good night, darlings..." the woman said with a grin, but frowned. "They couldn't have fallen asleep that easily..." she mumbled, feeling curious as she walked to the filled beds that were fully covered up. Then she went over to the beds to check on them. "Eloise...I know you're concerned.....but it's alright...." Darla pulled back the covers and let out a loud, anguished shriek as she didn't see her daughter, lightning seemed to flash to show she wasn't there. "Oh, dear..." she checked Tim's bed and panicked. "No, no, no! They're gone," she looked outside and had a horrible thought. "They must've gone to get the twins and Auntie Shrew..." she sighed, "oh, I hope they'll be alright......"
Back at the castle....
"Well, this sure beats an in-flight movie," Jessie commented as they were flying.
Auntie Shrew and Melody recited from the ancient temple again as Zapdos and Moltres were charging each other up . The others came over to Melody and Auntie Shrew.
"What if the ancient legend is coming true," Melody asked.
"If that is true, all intelligent life will be destroyed," James remarked.
"That's right," Jessie nodded.
"He has a point," Joanie hated to admit it, but she did so.
"And I'll be..." James said.
"YOU will be fine," Meowth scoffed.
"Yes, you don't have much to concern about," Lex said to James.
James frowned at them.
"We must do something," Ash declared.
"We have to set Moltres and Zapdos free," Misty added.
"Yes, but how," Tracey concluded.
"C'mon, Ash, let's break Moltres free first," Jesse said.
Ash and Jesse went up, but the cage zapped them back on the floor.
"Pika Pi," Pikachu sounded concerned about them.
Ash sneered at the trap.
"You guys alright," Joanie sounded cautious.
"Yes, but I'm surprised, my strength should have gave us an advantage," Jesse said.
"Probably too strong even for that," Joanie shrugged.
Pikachu tried to help them by electrically zapping Moltres's cage, but it wasn't even enough.
"These trapped prisons are the unstoppable," Auntie Shrew couldn't believe their luck.
"Ash, Joanie, bring out your Pokemon, perhaps more attacks will cause the cage to break," Jesse assumed from his detective skills.
Ash got out his Charizard. Moltres saw them helping, but just looked hopeless since it was trapped.
"Fire and electricity aren't enough," Misty pointed out.
"We can't just give up, we must keep trying," Tracey encouraged.
Auntie Shrew came to the Team Rocket members, even if they were bad guys. "Can you all not help us with our problem?"
"Well, if facts are going to start getting ugly, we might as well try Wheezing," Jessie said to James.
"Right, go," James threw out his Pokeball, summoning his Pokemon, which looked like bombs.
Not even the strongest Pokemon could get thrown and they fell and bounced on the floor.
"C'mon, ya big palooka!" Meowth growled, "fight!"
Jessie moaned as she took out her Pokeball. "Let's try Arbok!"
Her Pokemon came out, looking like a giant purple cobra.
"Cool, ooh, Miss, can we both call out the attack at the same time, please," Lex asked Jessie.
"Um...I guess that would be alright..." Jessie shrugged, "which attack would you like for it to do?"
Lex began to whisper into Jessie's ear of which attack they should let it use.
"Alright then, let's do it," Jessie said.
"Alright, Arbok, use poison sting," Lex and Jessie commanded in unison.
Arbok did so as warned, it leaned its head back, but used poisonous and stingy breath to break the prisons. That didn't even do anything. Jessie didn't want to admit it, but it was actually nice to have some help.
"Squirtle, Bulbasaur, I choose you," Joanie commanded as she used two Pokeballs to summon the Pokemon she announced.
The two Pokemon came out, trying to use their powers, but nothing would work. However, once all their powers combined together, there was now an explosion.
"Yes, it worked," Jesse cheered.
Zapdos was yet stuck, but Moltres managed to make it out of its prison. The fire bird looked down at them and squawked to them once it was eventually free. It fired fire, but not toward them as it hit Zapdos's cage to let it free. It was enough, and now the lightning bird was free. Both bird Pokemon were now crowing and flying out the castle to their freedom.
"I did not think it would be the possible," Auntie Shrew grinned as she saw the sight.
"I don't think these two are happy, but are frustrated at each other," Jesse said.
"But why," Auntie Shrew asked.
"Fire and electricity," Joanie sighed with a shrug.
"You look familiar somehow..." James said to Auntie Shrew.
"Or that they think that the other was responsible for being captured and wants to make the other one pay for it," Jesse said from his detective skills.
The group went to see the bird Pokemon as they were yet in the castle. The castle seemed to be going down to a snowy region.
Eloise and Tim kept swimming, but Eloise stopped as she held herself. "Ooh...it's cold again...." she shivered slightly.
"Stay close to me, it might warm up your body," Tim said.
Eloise went up to him, shivering only slightly now. "Why is this so cold? The water from before wasn't..."
Peter swam side-by-side, seeing them, he did not know who they were. "You two must be going near the polar parts...the water is colder there, but if you've been in the water long enough, you get used to it.....I never seen you two around Atlantica before..."
"We're kinda new...." Eloise shrugged at the mer-boy, she did not know who this was and he didn't know who she was.
"We're looking for my younger twin brother and sister and cousin," Tim said.
"Huh...what do they look like," Peter asked.
Eloise described them the best she could from memory.
"Huh...I haven't seen anyone like that...but my sister, her husband and daughter are looking for people as well...perhaps we can all help each other," Peter suggested.
"Thanks, their names are Jesse, Lex and Auntie Shrew," Tim said.
Peter nodded as they went along together. The name Auntie Shrew tipped him away though, he had to wonder if it was a coincidence or not.
The castle was about to smash land on Lightning Island. Rae was holding a black widowed parasol as Dwight was rowing a boat to the island as the castle was on its road there.
"Why didn't I ever teach you how to row," Dwight shivered, a little exhausted.
"Because you were too busy staring at the wonderful gift puberty gave me as a teenager spawning into an adult, NOW ROW," Rae barked at him.
"Aye, aye, ma'am," Dwight said, saluting to her.
Rae growled as she waited for them to get there. Inside the castle, everyone tried to dodge the falling crumbles as they were slightly smashing. A boat splashed into the icy water and it splashed into Rae and her parasol.
"I got wet..." Rae sneered.
"I didn't," Dwight smirked.
"ROW," Rae yelled at him again as he did as she said so.
"That is why you should never ever get on her worst side," Glen said.
"Try being married to her..." Dwight muttered.
"With how she behaves I can most likely imagine how that is like," Glen said.
"Just row the boat...." Rae growled at the man she was forced to call her husband.
Dwight heaved a sharp sigh as he rowed. "Yes, darling..."
'Nice fact I never get in her naughty side,' Glen thought.
"Won't be too long now....." Dwight said as he kept rowing.
"Oh, I hope they're alright....." Annie was choked up, being painfully concerned for the children.
But she was wrong as the group was now running out of the castle.
"AUNTIE," Rae called out.
Auntie Shrew stopped as she ran with the others. "I hear my mum...." she muttered distantly.
"Keep running, perhaps we'll meet her there," Jesse called out as they continued to run.
However, as they ran, Jessie and James tripped slightly and started to roll against the group and they were going down in balls down the castle path. As soon as they all hit the ground, they started running as faster as they could.
"Keep going, keep going," Jesse called out.
The castle was slowly coming and it smashed against a stone temple that was close to a snowy cliff face. A sphere rolled over and it seemed to have electrical sparks inside of it.
"Ash...look..." Joanie whispered to her brother.
Ash looked over and he saw the sphere, taking it.
"Pika Pika Pi..." Pikachu observed.
"Just one to go," Jesse said.
"Watch out," Misty cried as the Zapdos seemed presented by the sphere.
Zapdos was zapping as they ran off to avoid the charges.
"Strange birds in the heavens......" Dwight muttered.
"These are Pokemon, genius," Rae narrowed her eyes at his lack of knowledge on the battle monster species.
"And they look frustrated at each other," Glen said.
Joanie looked ahead and saw the group going to a different boat. "AUNTIE!!"
Auntie Shrew ran, but stopped again and looked over. She saw her parents, trainer and social worker. "Mum," she ran toward them.
"Auntie, get back here," Joanie called out.
"We yet have three furious, ancient, bird Pokemon attacking each other and then most likely going to attack us," Ash called out.
Then the lightning struck Rae and Dwight, making them wide-eyed.
Then Rae narrowed her eyes. "Too bad that didn't murder me..." she muttered.
Annie hugged her husband, a little shaky too.
"Lawrence..." Rae growled under her breath.
"He must be coming," Glen said.
"Faster, we have to get away from the ancient bird Pokemon," Ash said as he now pulled Auntie Shrew with them.
"Mum...Dad..." Auntie Shrew moaned as she was pulled apart.
Zapdos made a bunch of water break loose and big rocks fell, making giant waves splash among the ocean.
"Faster, into the boat," Jesse called out.
Auntie Shrew and Jesse climbed aboard. Rae stood up.
"Rae, don't, it might be dangerous," Dwight cried to her.
"Danger or not, I'm saving my baby," Rae snapped at him, she removed her shoes and clothes, but jumped into the water, facing the brisk cold waves.
"Oh, this isn't safe," Glen said.
Joanie climbed aboard, but tripped.
"Don't worry, I have you," Jesse said, catching her before free-falling.
Everyone shrieked as they were falling and Joanie was being helped in by Jesse's assistance. They seemed to be appearing on top of swirled up waves somehow.
Rae didn't know how to swim before, but she kept going and she looked up, not believing what she was seeing. She moved some of her wet hair from her face and looked up. "Unbelievable....." she muttered.
"Wow..." Glen muttered as soon as he saw what was holding the other boat up.
Jessie, James and Meowth got out the life raft, once they did so, they relaxed in it.
Rae came back and climbed back into the water in her underwear, making her husband stare at her. "Well, I don't know what that's about...but they're alive and hopefully we can--" she looked to Dwight, "WILL YOU STOP STARING AT ME?! I'M FREEZING!!"
Dwight blinked to her. "Alright..." he said, obviously not listening to what she said.
Rae growled, taking his tail coat, but wrapped herself in it, making him frown.
"Get her back in the boat," Annie said.
Dwight pulled Rae in. "A-A-Are you alright, Lindley?"
"I'm fine..." Rae said a little soft for a change, "I don't know what the heck that wave was...if they don't get off that boat soon, they'll fall, smash and die... "
"Let's follow them," Glen said.
"Randolph, GO," Rae commanded.
"How about please," Dwight looked to her.
"How about I open your rib cage," Rae threatened.
"Going, going," Dwight nodded, rowing over for them to get closer to the island.
"Never going to get on her bad side," Glen said, "and best of all, we haven't been encountered Jamie yet."
The mer-people met up together.
"We haven't found them," Peter said.
"Neither have we....I'm starting to think perhaps I was just seeing facts..." Hope sounded like she wanted to give up on their search.
"Would that help us find them," Tim said, while pointing to a water-like fashion going to an island.
"What is that fact, Mum..." Hope whispered.
"I-I don't know..." Laura muttered, a little afraid, "i-it can't be from Daddy......"
"Oh, poor Jesse, Lex and Auntie Shrew, this must be dreadful for them," Eloise cried.
Tim began to follow the water-like fashion to find out if his gut was right. Hope went after him and so did Eloise.
"Children, watch out," Peter yelped.
Then the water-like fashion sent the boat flying to an island where a shrine was at. There was a Slowbro, who appeared to have a shell crown on its head. He spoke to the group, pointing somewhere that would help guide them on their journey.
"He can speak," Ash and Joanie asked in shock.
"Pika Pika," Pikachu reminded his trainer of the spheres he currently had.
"Oh, right," Ash took them out as they glowed with their elements inside.
"Pikachu," the yellow Pokemon squeaked and scampered up the steps.
Ash, Jesse and Joanie all followed Pikachu. Pikachu led them to another stone temple that was above the snowy grounds.
Ash looked instinctively inside the mouth, expecting the final sphere to be in there, but it wasn't. He looked further though and saw a volcano in the distance, however, that had a holder past the window. "Fire Island...." he placed the sphere in, but looked ahead again.
Jesse put this sphere in it this time. "Lightning Island...."
"Well, you're Ash and Jesse," the Slowbro came right behind the boys, alarming them.
"Yikes," Jesse said.
"You're both one treasure short," Slowbro warned them.
"Yes, we know, but..." Ash was yet shocked about the speaking Pokemon, he knew Meowth longer, where another talking Pokemon was just shocking to him, "how'd you know our names?"
The birds were heard again, screeching and using their abilities against each other once more.
"Whoops, looks like they're headed this fashion," Jesse said.
"I am not liking those birds very much anymore..." Auntie Shrew growled.
Ash rushed to the edge. "CUT THAT OUT!!"
The wave came back up, splashing and hitting the birds.
"Something's coming," Jesse said.
The tornado water disappeared, revealing a Pokemon that resembled an otter and a seagull. Just like Peter described from earlier.
"I can't believe it....." Hope whispered.
"It's a Lugia....." Joanie gasped.
"This is amazing," Jesse said.
Lugia hummed to the birds as it was up in the air.
"The sound..." Misty spoke.
Hope took out her shell instrument, wondering if she should play it or not.
"Wow," Lex said.
"Rae, what is that fact," Dwight asked as they saw it as well.
"A Lugia," Rae folded her arms, "they're very majestic Pokemon...as far as I've seen, they do not evolve from anything before or after..."
"Wow, it's magnificent," Glen said before sensing something, "oh, dear, I sense that something very naughty is coming."
"Yes..." Rae nodded, "he's a Pokemon collector..."
"You know of him," Dwight asked.
"I was meeting an old friend in town with her two children, HE wanted to marry me..." Rae said firmly.
"He dodged a bullet," Dwight mumbled.
"Yes," Glen said, "but it's something more worse."
"I can't stand him...." Rae grumbled.
"And I can see why," Glen whispered.
"It's no doubt that he'll want that Lugia....selfish twit..." Rae's fangs seemed to appear as her eyes turned from chocolate brown to a hellish red.
"I also sense a more bad being coming," Glen said.
"What, did I forget Rae's birthday," Dwight chuckled ominously.
The water tornado came again as the mer-family were swimming along, unknowingly by the boat where the parents of the adventurers were.
"No, it seems like something so naughty that we should possibly go and get the children right away," Glen said.
"Glen..." Laura whispered and turned her head.
Annie hugged Glen, some tears streaming down her face, she sounded miserable because her children were in danger.
"Oops, I sense something coming right from under us," Glen said.
The flying Pokemon yet used their powers against each other and it looked like a long-lasting war. There was a helicopter shown as they fought with their elements hitting the ground, but never injuring anyone. The three ancient bird Pokemon were now fighting Lugia.
A pathway was cleared through the ice and there came a stampede of various Pokemon. There was even a flock of flying bird-like fashions now coming in like Earth birds flying south for the winter. Everyone could see from their view of the snowy cliff edge from where they were with the speaking and wise Slowbro.
"It looks like a grand battle royale..." Auntie Shrew commented from her point of view.
The battle was getting intense as all three ancient bird Pokemon were attacking Lugia.
"There's only one hope," Slowbro spoke, "the Chosen Ones will bring the treasures to help the one's grand festival."
"But the legend has said that someone will fail it," Auntie Shrew insisted while Hope nodded in agreement.
"Then thus, we must turn to Ash and Jesse," Slowbro looked to the chosen boys.
"But how are we going to find the Chosen Two if we don't even know where to look," Hope asked.
"The Earth shall turn to Ash and Jesse," Misty piped up.
"Ash and Jesse," Joanie and Tracey asked.
"We're the chosen two," Jesse and Ash asked in unison.
Then Lugia was attacked and fell straight down to the ocean and the spot it smashed down and was blocked up by the three ancient bird Pokemon's attack and they went on to attack each other. Pikachu nodded to that. Ash and Jesse looked very sick about saving the world like this.
"We know you guys can do it," Joanie looked faithful to her brother and new friend.
Rae, Glen, Annie and Dwight shrieked as they fell out of their boat from the heavy splash.
"What was that," Glen asked.
"Damn Pokemon...." Rae mumbled.
Dwight came to her, trying to keep her up in the water. "This brings back memories......"
"Ah yes, the day I could've been dead, but instead, you decided to make me live forever," Rae smirked actually, sounding sweet about that memory.
"Oh, are the children alright," Annie was yet feeling more concerned than if her own mother back home was worried about her being out late at night because she was taken.
"We better go and check on them," Glen said.
Laura swam over to her cousin. "Glen...it's me...oh, hello, Rae and Mercer."
"Hello, Laura..." Rae greeted after her moment with her husband.
Hope came over too, she did not know Glen, but he looked familiar. "You look like that little boy I found," she pointed to him.
"Did he have a bandanna on his head," Glen asked.
"Yes," Hope nodded, but gestured to Annie's red one, "kinda like that...."
"It had to be Jesse......" Annie whispered softly.
"That was one of our sons," Glen said.
"You have sons," Laura asked her cousin.
"Yes, and a daughter who is Jesse's twin, her name is Lex," Annie explained.
"You must be Annie," Bob had heard about her from his family members.
"Please, call me Annie," the woman preferred.
"Um, if I could interrupt......" Rae spoke up, "OUR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO GET HURT!!"
"Oh, right, faster, up the stairs," Glen called out.
"Oh, I hope they'll be alright......" Laura was frightened.
Rae, Dwight, Glen and Annie got onto the land and ran up the stairs. Rae took off Forte's coat and got herself dressed.
The Lugia was glowing and shooting down under the water like a bullet from a prized gun. Its eyes opened though. Another tornado wave came up, but it glowed pouring rain and looked quite pretty and less threatening.
"He's coming back up," Jesse said.
The glow was so much that the Lugio spread its winged arms and made a golden glow appear behind it. The others stood in shock as they could hear English words coming from the mystical Pokemon.
"Tim, what's that," Eloise asked her cousin.
"That's a Lugia," Tim said.
"It's 'rather' pretty," Eloise grinned.
The Lugia kept speaking to the humans that were in its focus.
"What do you mean," Jesse asked.
"The treasures of fire, ice and lightning, my song shall harmonize with their power and obtain the beast, both above and over the sea," Lugia said as it flapped, "but this can come the pattern, only with the help of the Chosen Two."
"But what have we done that somebody else can't," Ash asked.
"Only in the hands of the true Chosen Two will the ice glow like the others," Lugia explained, "with the power of awakening."
Jesse and Ash both look to Ice Island and saw the three ancient bird Pokemon yet attacking each other.
"We have to go....there..." Ash asked, yet a little shaken up.
"The choice is yours," Lugia warned the Pokemon trainer and detective's son, "you must go only where your hearts lead."
"Either what you are doing, we are supporting you boys the very best we can be doing," Auntie Shrew encouraged, she sat in a meditating position with her legs crossed and her fingers pinching the air.
"Perhaps we..." Ash said as he looked determined to the island. But as he saw the ancient bird Pokemon attacking each other again, he suddenly had doubts.
Pikachu came between the boys and was encouraging them with a loyal grin.
"We can," Ash looked down to his best Pokemon friend.
"Pika..." Pikachu nodded, but suddenly, all of Ash's other Pokemon came for extra support.
"You all think so as well," Jesse asked.
The Pokemon chattered as if to say 'yes'.
Ash felt more confident and better now. "Alright," he looked like he was about to weep. This was such an emotional moment.
Jesse felt the same fashion. The boys were now going to do what it would take to get the treasures. Ash was yet hesitant about possibly messing up, he really wished his mum was there.
"You can do it, guys," Misty soothed.
"We know you can," Melody added.
"I always looked up to you, Ash, do it for everyone......" Joanie encouraged.
"You're right, we can do it, we're the Chosen Two," Ash and Jesse said, out of determination.
The snow was unexpectedly deep as the boys went along with Pikachu coming behind them.
"Mum..." Felicity looked behind her.
Rae shivered and fell into the snow. "Time out..." she breathed heavily. "Whew..." she stood up and folded her arms, "what did I warn you about wandering off like that?"
"You never did...." Auntie Shrew said.
Rae glanced to her, but tried that again. "What did your father warn you about wandering apart?"
"He promised not to, but..." Auntie Shrew stared at her boots.
"Wow," Lex said.
"Oh, Lex, you're alright," Annie rushed to her daughter, hugging her tight, but smiled down at her and looked concerned again, "wait, where's Jesse?"
"He's going with Ash to Ice Island to get the last ancient sphere," Lex said.
Glen felt that feeling again. "Oh, dear, Rae, someone's getting closer and I think it might be someone pure evil," he said.
"Did I mention how I hate leaving the house," Rae grumbled, putting her hand to her face.
Auntie Shrew clung to her parents.
Dwight picked her up in his arms. "Who is this?"
"I don't know, but whoever it is, must be pure naughty," Glen said.
Joanie looked up and saw a crooked turning helicopter due to the snowstorm despite being summer. It smashed behind the higher cliff top.
"Did anyone die," Rae asked.
"No," Dwight warned her.
"Dang it..." Rae growled, "there goes my business....."
"What business," Annie asked her, but she couldn't hep.
"At home, I work at a funeral home, I make-up, dress up and doll up corpses at the wakes and the visitations," Rae explained.
"Weird," Lex said.
Meanwhile, Jesse and Ash were trying to make their road to Ice Island. Ash's Pokemon were making a sled-like fashion to get them to Ice Island better and they wouldn't be frozen. The closer they got, the more explosive things got between the bird Pokemon. Hopefully, they could yet make it there alive without the birds and their elements of destruction. They were almost there and a big ice shard was rising up as Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charizard kept pulling them. It wasn't enough though, they were all now starting to fall.
"Oops, Ash, return Charizard," Jesse called out.
Ash did that, and then he with Jesse were now running away from the ice destruction. They all turned back after Ash tripped and fell to the ground and the birds kept fighting.
"We'll never get there now......" Ash mumbled.
There was a boat coming in the distance, getting their attention.
"Who could that be," Jesse wondered.
It was none other than the annoying trio along Lex and Joanie. Jessie and James did their irksome rhymes as they were using the raft through the snow. They actually mentioned they were going to do something nice for a change.
"I know that blue-haired fellow," Dwight recognized James now, "if he lived in the mansion, I used to tutor him for piano and English."
Rae sighed in slight annoyance. "I went to school with him......he always bugged me about being his girlfriend..."
"If I remember, you were smitten with him yourself," Dwight slightly teased.
Rae growled, her face turning pink in annoyance and embarrassment. "I don't wanna speak about it."
"OK, that's it," Dwight said.
"Wait, are Joanie and Lex with them," Misty asked.
"It is looking that fashion," Auntie Shrew said based on what she could see, "I do not understand why though..."
"Either fashion, I yet don't like these two," Tracey sneered about Team Rocket.
They now flew up and across to the other side of the ice that was blocking them.
"What are they doing here," Ash asked as the raft with Team Rocket was coming closer to them.
Jessie and James mentioned how they spoke with Joanie and Lex and that they were going to be nice. So far, just this once and unsure about future times. The bad guys took them for a ride through the ice, it was slippery, but they were yet able to drive.
"You wanna help," Jesse asked, shocked.
"Of course," Jessie said.
The raft kept going with them.
"Come to think of it, since WAS the last time we had a vacation," Jessie asked rhetorically.
"It'll be after this if we don't get off Ice Island," Meowth said as they got closer.
The birds kept flying as the raft was going faster and faster.
"Oh, dear, Moltres at 12:00," Lex called out.
"ON THE DOUBLE," Jessie and James chanted as they made the raft turn away from the fire blasts.
Zapdos and Lugia were getting closer then as the humans kept going on their adventure, this looked really ugly up close. Jessie made the raft go down faster to the end of Ice Island.
"We have to find the entrance to the shrine," Joanie called out.
"Up there," Ash pointed as Team Rocket made the raft go into the forest of the icy island.
Jessie and James took the raft there, leading them into a mysterious cave. Once the cave let them out, they made it across a glacier-covered bridge.
"Wahoo," Lex cheered, "this is fun, it's like a ride!"
"Now we just need a photo after it's done," James chuckled, amused with Lex's emotion.
They went through another cave, this one seemed longer than the one before. The raft was in the air and they slid on the floor, stopping and it looked like they were in an icy throne room. This must have been where the Ice Island treasure was.
"Pika," Pikachu squeaked once the raft stopped and he climbed up the stairs.
Jesse and Ash followed after Pikachu. There was indeed an ice temple with the third and final sphere.
"I guess they're not so naughty for a couple of twerps," Jessie commented.
"Being nice guys are so much better than working for an evil organization," Lex said.
Then Jesse used all of his strength and pulled the third and final ancient sphere out with ease. The others came to see the sphere up close as there were frozen patterns inside.
"This one's pretty...." Joanie said as she stood next to Jesse.
Jessie and James were impressed by it as well.
"PIKA," Pikachu shrieked in warning, dashing away.
"Now c'mon, let's go back to the island," Meowth said to them, following after Pikachu.
"Oh, I almost forgot," James said before going with Jessie.
"Oh, right," Lex said as she followed after them.
Jesse the sphere in his pocket, but ran away with the others back to the raft. The blue Pokemon bird screeched and started to blast down on all of them.
"Faster, get moving," Lex called out.
The raft went along again, but the blasts pushed them backward. They had to get out of the raft as Moltres was blasting fire against the raft and they all ran off in time. James and Meowth tried to get rid of the ice blocks in their path.
"Jesse, help us," Lex warned her brother, knowing he was stronger.
"Alright, guys, move out of the road," Jesse said as he began to roll up his sleeves.
The others did so as he said. The blue bird Pokemon was getting hit by the others and even hit the ground, sliding across it in pain and defeat. Jesse caught the biggest ice boulder and pulled it out and held it on top of his head and threw it across the island and then used all of his strength and began to punch right through a wall like a drill.
"Pika Pikachu," Pikachu called to them from a high icy stand for those who wanted to climb up.
"Climbing will have to do," Jesse said.
Pikachu was surprised that Jesse understood him.
"Down here," Pikachu spoke, bouncing down.
Jessie and James fell down until they tried to climb down. Ash helped Joanie up as they were going down to get away from here with the spheres. He and Jesse were able to run with no problems. Lex and Gertie were able to keep up with their brothers. Lugia came to their sides and smiled to them that they decided to fulfill their prophecies. Jesse showed that he had the ice sphere.
"Get on," Lugia warned the boys.
"You got it, c'mon, Pikachu," Jesse said.
"Wait for me, guys," Pikachu squeaked once Ash climbed aboard with Jesse.
Lugia let them on and they were now flying through the air with him. Jessie, James, Meowth, Lex and Joanie kept running, trying to join aboard as well. Gertie was able to jump on.
"Joanie, give me your hand," Jesse called out, while extending out his hand to her.
Joanie was having damage, she did her best jump and squeezed his hand, feeling hesitant, but she trusted him.
"Hang on, guys," Ash warned them as they flew on the flying Pokemon.
Then Jesse pulled Joanie in and then she hugged him close, not wishing to let go. Lugia was lucky to dodge the blasts from the other bird Pokemon. He was going to let them all out. They all held on tight, except for Team Rocket, they were falling and landed in the not so solid ice around the other Pokemon.
The adults, friends and cousins of the Chosen Two were standing side-by-side, very anxious about all of this.
"Please be alright," Misty said.
"HEEEELP," Ash and Jesse called from up, assuring everyone they were fine.
Hope, Jamie and Peter looked with Eric, Ariel and Melody and grinned at the sight. They were all alright. However, something strange and dangerous was flinging to the children on the flying Lugia Pokemon, seeming to will to strike them down.
"What was that," Jesse called out.
"IT'S A TRAP," Joanie cried once they actually got trapped like Moltres and Zapdos earlier.
"ICHYYYYY," Rae shrieked out in annoyance and frustration.
"I HATE THAT MAN," Jesse exclaimed as he began to destroy the cages very easily.
The cages made Lugia smash with them into the water though. The mermaids tried to get out of the road before any of them would get hit. The only three were conscious from the fall were Pikachu, Jesse and Joanie. Luckily, Lugia was able to get them out and the cages were broken free after Lugia blasted them with an energy blast.
"Attack him," Jesse called out while pointing to the weird castle.
The blast kept going and it was hitting the castle, making it shake and almost get destroyed. It didn't look nice for Lawrence. Lugia also shot at the other birds, bringing them down. He was falling back into the water. Ash and Joanie fell off Lugia with Pikachu, along with Jesse. Pikachu, Joanie and Lex got up and helped Ash and Jesse once they came up to the surface.
"Guys, wake up," Pikachu cried.
"Ash..." Joanie whispered for her brother.
Lex looked like she was going to weep for her twin. There were now a bunch of water-like fashions and something truly worse was coming during the storm. The Pokemon looked very alarmed and overwhelmed about the display of the storm. Was this really how it was all going to end? There were a few more tornadoes coming from the water.
"Here, take this," Melody handed her shell instrument.
"What," Misty asked from confusion.
Then it was that it seemed that Misty and Melody were now becoming friends.
"Guys...please wake up..." Lex was almost weeping.
"Ash, Jesse, please wake up," Pikachu called.
Misty was swimming over to them as the waves were getting a little stronger and stronger. "Guys, just hang on," she warned them as she was going to help them help Ash and Jesse. She tugged on a rope.
Tracey and Auntie Shrew pulled the rope to help get them all to safety. Luckily, he was able to let them all over on the other side without the rope breaking, drowning or separating them. They were all now brought to the island. Misty and Joanie were trying to revive Ash and Jesse as the tornadoes didn't leave. They all hoped that the boys weren't dead. Rae walked over with Dwight, still carrying Auntie Shrew.
"They are not deceased....." Auntie Shrew said.
"How do you know," Misty asked.
"It runs in the family," Rae droned.
Then Ash's and Jesse's eyes opened. As Ash and Jesse awaken, they were able to run and guide the others.
"I hope they will be alright..." Auntie Shrew pulled on her hat hesitantly.
"Um, is that one cloud coming closer or is it just me," Lex asked as soon as she saw a huge cloud getting closer and closer.
"Cloud," everyone else asked as Ash and Jesse started climbing up.
Lex pointed to the giant cloud.
Slowbro, Melody, Joanie, Tim and Eloise, now humans again, looked to see their friends and family coming to them.
"They made it," Melody said.
"You found the final treasure, lads," Slowbro asked with a grin.
Tim, Auntie Shrew and Eloise were thrilled to see them again.
"You better be hurrying up and be putting the last circle there and then you can save this world," Auntie Shrew encouraged.
"Here it is, Slowpoke," Jesse showed the final ancient sphere.
Slowbro grinned and gestured to the temple for it to be placed. Ash stood to the fire and lightning spheres and looked to Jesse as he was the one who had the ice sphere. Jesse went up to the shrine and placed the ice sphere into its proper place. They all now had to wonder what the results would be. All of the spheres glowed and made colorful lights fill the air. An ominous green glow shone and blasted through the area as the snow seemed to just fade away. There was also green liquid being showered among the grounds now.
"What is that," Auntie Shrew asked.
"Don't worry...this should be happening......" Slowbro whispered to her.
"I hope this works," Lex said.
The green liquid made the poles glow and there were fresh summer flowers now blooming. The stone poles turned into ice sculptures.
"The song," Joanie remembered.
Melody nodded and ran to the top, remembering the prophecy. She looked to the boys and started to play her song. During the song, Lex began to dance with her ballet and where she did it on top of each of the stone poles and where it made each one of them glow. Eloise grinned, she wanted to do ballet like Lex.
The bird Pokemon looked exhausted from all their fighting they had done lately today. The tornadoes seemed to disappear and the black clouds were vanishing. The liquid came over, hitting everyone's feet as the Slowbro was astonished over what was going on to the land.
"It's spreading," Glen said.
"I really hope that's not Nickelodeon slime..." Rae muttered.
The bird Pokemon screeched as they flew among the heavens and they actually weren't fighting this time. King Triton saw this and released another water tornado, only this one was to release Lugia.
"Thank you for the help, Triton," Lugia said.
"It's always an honor to help my family and their friends," Triton replied, very grateful to help the Pokemon for his family members he hadn't met yet other than Melody.
The clouds broke apart and the sun was shining once more. The island looked very beautiful and peaceful once again.
"Oh, you guys, I was so concerned, concerned, concerned," Eloise hugged Jesse, she always looked up to him like a big brother figure.
"It's alright, everything's alright," Jesse said.
The only fact they didn't notice was that the song was affecting Frank and his people and their ship.
"Master...Master," Riff Raff droned, turning back to the prince, "we can't land..."
"That's impossible," Frank snapped.
"We have no choice, we have to get back home......" Magenta said.
Frank roared, sitting on his throne and crossing his legs. "Well, fine...we'll be back..." he almost snarled.
Rae saw the castle ship coming, but it was turning back into the Transylvanian galaxy it came from and she heaved a sigh of relief.
"I knew that they would retire," Glen said.
"They won't be gone for long though..." Rae said sharply, "they'll be back...the Queen won't live forever..."
Dwight put a hand on his trainer's shoulder. "We'll be ready....I assure you...."
Rae shook a chill down her spine from what he just said, it made her have brief flashbacks from since she was a child and he was pure naughty.
"Let's just enjoy the scene," Joanie said.
Lugia flew to the children and had a grin. Ash, Joanie, Lex and Jesse looked to each other. They decided to fly on the Pokemon one more time. And fly on them they did so.
