Vaporeon Babble 4b

That Obnoxious Hypno

It was a sunny day on Seafoam Island #1. Speaking of Sunny, she was having a tea party in the meadow on top of Seafoam. She invited (forced) her sisters Mist and Mystic to the party. They all wore over sized sun dresses made for humans.

"More tea, Mrs. Puff 'n Stuff?" Sunny asked Mist.

"No thanks," said Mist as she struggled to keep her huge sun hat on her frilly head. Just then, Zooky popped out of no where and onto a rock in front of them. In his hands was a wooden baseball bat.

"Look out, he's got a bat!" cried Mist in terror.

"That's right! I gotta bat! And I'm gunna swing it all day long! Bwa Hahaa haha!" laughed Zooky as he swung the bat, just as he said, back and forth on the rock. Mist squirmed out of her cloths and ran for the hills carrying Sunny in her mouth.

"It's just a bat," Mystic pointed out, still in the play cloths and drinking imaginary tea. BONK! "Ow!" yelped Mystic rubbing the lump on her head.

"ZZZZZZZOOOOOKKKYYYY!" cried Zooky as his left eye twitched and bulged out a bit. He babbled some nonsense to the sky and ran after Mist and Sunny with a popcorn bucket on his head.

"Zooky's gone mad again, Vee!" Mist informed VotM.

"Hmm, that's odd. I'm also missing my life time supply of Crispy M&M's I won on eBay," she noted. They were, for some reason, in a tree, being the previous location of the candy as well as the monster's current location. "Where do you think he could be now?" wondered VotM.

"ZZOOOOOOKKKKYYY!" Cried a Hypno running by the tree with a bat in one hand, a bag of M&M's in the other, and a popcorn bucket on his head.

"Get him! Those are my candy crunchies!" ordered Mist and Of The Mist jumped out of the tree. They chased after Zooky. He turned around and ran backward to look at them while fleeing.

"ZOOOKKY!" he managed to scream one last time before crashing into a tree. Flopping onto his back, his pursuers bound onto him, thinking their quarry caught. "ZOOKY ZOOM!" he roared again, adding a nasty sign with his middle finger. Suddenly, VotM and Mist were hurled through the air and into a patch of blackberry bushes, the thorny kind. "ZOOKY!" the crazed Hypno shouted before swallowing a gallon of M&M's. Then, he took off toward The Beach, which is what they unimaginatively named their beach, where Punishment was having a picnic for his pod of Gyarados.

"Who wants a hot dog?" asked Punishment as he held up a plate of hot dogs to the other Gyaradoses.

"Me!" simultaneously answered Blue Steel and Hellfire.

"Uhhh, me too full. Not another bite could I eat," grumbled The Nameless Gyarados. As Punishment held out the plate to Hellfire it suddenly disappeared. Then, before any one could say anything-

"ZOOOOKKYY!" And there he was on a rock in the middle of the bay with a popcorn bucket on his head, the plate of hot dogs in one hand, a baseball bat in the other, and a mouth full of M&M's.

"Damn it, Zooky!" said Punishment. "It was bad enough when Vee went hyper and tried to take over the Elite Four*, but now I have to deal with a Psy Pokémon on high?" He called to his pod, "Let's go get 'im!" All of the Gyarados dove into the water and swam out to the rock where Zooky was doing the Funky Chicken Dance while balancing the hot dog plate on one hand.

"ZZZOOOOOOKKKYYY!!!" cried the little Hypno as it jumped from stone to stone with the M&M's, hot dogs, popcorn bucket, and baseball bat. The trio of Gyarados charged towards the little nuisance as he continued on unaware of the impending situation. The Gyarados where just about to strike when Zooky vanished.

"Where'd that brat go?" yelled the outraged Punishment.

"Uhh... disappeared he did, I think," stated the Nameless Gyarados who was just now catching up.

"Well, thank you, Captain Obvious!" Punishment screamed at him still furious at Zooky stealing his hot dogs he had worked all day on preparing.

"Yay! A name I have now!" rejoiced the newly named Captain Obvious

"You're an idiot," mumbled Punishment under his breath.

"Two!" Punishment sighed.

VotM and Mist had finally (and painfully) pulled themselves from the thorny black berry bushes.

"Who knows where Zooky is now and what horrible things he's doing!" moaned Mist. Meanwhile, in a butcher shop somewhere in Fuchsia City, her fears were coming true.

"Hey, mister! Come back with that Salami!" cried a pimply kid who ran the meat shop.

"ZZZOOOOKKKYYY!!!" said the yellow bearded figure running out of the shop with a popcorn bucket on his head, a plate of hot dogs in one hand, a base ball bat in the other, a mouth full of M&M's, and a salami slung over his shoulder. He ran down the street when something caught his eye. He stopped in front of a clothing shop and looked at the sign painted on the window.

It read, "Get a free bowler hat, coat, and pants just for one Salami!" Zooky looked at the sign for one hour. Then, with a "ZOOKY," he walked into the shop and traded in his salami for some stuff.

"He took my hot dogs!" complained Punishment, back on Seafoam.

"He bonked me on the head!" whined Mystic.

"He waved his bat at me!" sobbed the sissy Sunny.

"He used his powerful brain to chuck me and Vee into a blackberry bush!" added Mist.

"The thorny kind?" asked Seafoam the Lapras.

"Yes!" said every one together. The PO'ed Pokémon had grouped around Seafoam to complain about the crazy Hypno.

"Well what am I supposed ta do about it? I'm 128 years old and retired from the battlin' business," Seafoam reminded.

"We just wanted some one to complain to," admitted Punishment as he turned to leave.

"Yeah, you don't hafta do anything. We just wanted to let out our feelings," furthered VotM.

"Oh. Well, I wonder where that Hypno is now?" wondered Seafoam. Her thoughts drifted off to somewhere in London.

"Top of the morning, ol' bean!"

"ZOOKY!"

"I say, smashing hat!"

"ZOOKY!"

"Good gravy, man! Is that a salami?"

"ZZZOOOOOOKKKYYY!" Zooky bonked the man on the head with his salami, which was a new one he had stolen after he got his fancy duds. Zooky now wore a bowler hat, a black coat, freshly ironed pants, and some shiny black shoes. "ZOOKY!" he politely said, tipping his hat to an old lady in a crown.

"What a delightful young chap! I shall invite him for tea at the palace!" said the Queen of England.

"ZOOKY!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of Seafoam Island #1, Kargo and Cliff Jumper, VotM's slightly younger brother, were playing football. Well, trying to, anyway. Kargo looked into CJ's eyes and focused. He knew that he had to score this penalty or he would be out of the competition.

"You can't win, you know," taunted CJ. "You're English."

"Dahhh!" Kargo ran at full speed towards the ball, knowing his country's pride was at stake. The ball flew high over the bar.

"I told you! I told you!" shouted CJ, jumping around gleefully. Kargo lowered his head in shame. "So, what are we going to do now?"

"We could always try American football again," suggested the defeated Kabutops.

"What's American football? Oh, you mean football," corrected the uncouth Jumper. "Well, I've had enough of soccer for one day!"

"What's soccer?"

"ZZZZOOOOOKKYYY!" cried the Hypno as he was directed into Buckingham Palace. He was excited about meeting the Queen. He never had before.

"I say, old chap, that's a very grand garment that you are wearing! Where did you procure such a masterful piece of artistry?" asked a butler.

"ZOOKY!!"

"I see. Very good, Master Zooky."

"ZOOOOOKY!!!" Zooky stepped into the dining hall of the huge palace. The Queen had asked for him specifically to have dinner with them. He held his salami high in the air, waved it about a bit, and rushed to the table where his seat had been prepared for him.

"Good day to you, Zooky," greeted the Queen. "What a grand looking salami you have there! And those sausages in rolls look simply adorable!"

"ZOOKY!!"

"Very nice," muttered the Queen. Suddenly, in stepped an old, drunken, penniless fool who stumbled and dropped as she walked. "Most esteemed Zooky, I would like you to meet my mother."

"Y... ye... y... yes, helllllllllllo, Zooky, I, I..'ve heard a lot abooout yooou... hic!"

"Zooky!!" replied the Hypno, who by the look on his face, was barely holding on for his food. Then a man and a woman entered into the hall, holding each others hands and whispering to each other.

"Ahh, the sweet sound of murderous, deceitful love," murmured the Queen. "Zooky, I would like you to meet my son, Charles, and his bride-to-be, Camilla." The pair looked round at the Hypno.

"Well, he's a damn good looking chap, don't you say, Cam!"

"Mmm!"

"That suit is so well made. Tailor, get me one of those suits!"

"Yes, sir."

"So, sonny-Jim, how have you been doing? Camilla, don't you think he's got a nose just like Diana?"

"Don't you mention that bitch's name ever!"

"Why? I was married to her for over ten years!"

"She wasn't patriotic, Charles! A member of the Monarchy who's not patriotic is like a doughnut without a hole!"

"Why was she unpatriotic? She was very patriotic, I'd have to say!"

"She helped starving children! She cared for the poorest people in the world! She gave up things of her own for others! Is there anything more un-British than that?" While this whole argument had been going on, Zooky had quietly left his seat and crept up behind the Queen, who was now asleep. He slowly moved his hand above the tiara that she was wearing, and in one swipe, grabbed it and bolted down the hall.

"ZOOOKKKYYY!!!!!!! ZOOOOOOKKKYYYY!!!" yelled Zooky as he ran out of the palace and to the airport. He looked at a sign on the outside of the building: "Free trip to Japan! Only one pair of shoes!" Zooky took off his shoes and ran up to the front desk.

"Hellow, guvna! You planning to go to Japan?" asked the lady at the desk as she took Zooky's shoes and gave him his plane ticket.

"ZOOKY!"

"Have a jolly time, sir!". Zooky ran to his plane and then sat down in a seat in first class. "Sir, I'm afraid your ticket is for coach," informed a stewardess. Zooky handed her the queens crown. "Oo! Never mind, sir!" Five hours later, Zooky was in Japan.

"BAKA! BAKA!!!" cried Zooky, running down the street in a stolen temple priest's robes. "Oukasan!" he said, jumping into the arms of a school girl named Keki.

"Oh! Kawii!" she gushed. She hugged Zooky tight and took him home for some sweet sake.

"I hate having to come aaall the way here to watch TV," VotM mumbled while "visiting" her Aunt Veevee's house. Suddenly-

"Breaking news! A big, yellow monster is destroying Tokyo, Japan!" The screen showed a big, yellow Hypno with a popcorn bucket on his head, although so small you could barely see it, a big baseball bat in one hand, a school girl named Keki in the other, and an M&M factory in his mouth. The news guy continued, "It appears that the monster has taken a small girl hostage and keeps saying 'Vee, Vee, come to me!' ...oh, and ... 'Zooky?' The military is taking action now." The cameras showed a single tank firing shells at Zooky's legs. They bounced off harmlessly. "Uh-oh, we're doomed!" wept the news guy. By then, VotM was already on the phone calling her friend, Maelstrom, for help.

"Maelstrom!" VotM exclaimed into the mouthpiece. "Zooky's in Japan. Have you or Kero seen him yet?"

"I don't think so," replied he. "We do live in a rather remote part of the islands. What's he look like?"

"Uh, a bowling hat, a black coat, and he's running like mad screaming 'Zooky'."

"No, I haven't... wait," he whispered. "I hear something outside." He removed the phone from his mouth as he peered outside. There, he saw a figure with a pot on its head in a black waistcoat jumping up and down screaming.

"ZOOKY! ZOOKY!" rambled the enraged figure, wildly jumping up and down.

"I think he's outside, Vee," told Maelstrom. "I'll go get him. Be right back." He set down the phone and tiptoed outside. Suddenly the figure turned.

"ZOOKY!"

"Zooky? What by all holy beneath Odin's blue eye are you doing, Kero?" asked the tadpole. "You have a pot on your head and you're jumping around like an incompetent saying 'Zooky' for no reason at all."

"There's a very good reason for it all," Kero Kato explained while removing the pot from his head. "I'm an idiot, need you not forget," spoke he smugly.

"I don't think I ever shall," sighed the Poliwhirl. He went back to his phone and told of his master's ignorance.

"Why was he doing that?" inquired the Bubblejet.

"I stopped questioning his actions after he bought mayonnaise to paint the house."

"That way, it won't taste as bad when I eat it." interrupted Kero.

"Kero takes bites out of the house?"

"I wish I had stopped asking about his actions there," groaned Maelstrom, smacking his head with his gloved hand. "Anyway, about his Zooky thing, do you think this has anything to do with his exposure to the Mist stone?"

"The Mist stone? Oh, you mean from the second Vaporeon Babble, possibly the best one yet? Yes, that could be the reason behind his insanity," agreed VotM.

"Well, I guess I can look over the mainland's to find Zooky," said Maelstrom. "I wasn't technically in VB 4, so I can be in VB 4b." He hung up his phone and yelled on his way out, "I'm going to save the land of the rising sun, Kero. Be back in a few weeks."

"Oh, no you don't," opposed Kero. "For some reason the last rain took away all of the house's paint. We need to repaint the thing, and add tomatoes this time for a greater sandwichy smell."

"Uh, I mean, I have to go to Tokyo to get my body... which I left there last time I visited Tokyo... to purchase an unusually large cheese," terribly rationalized the tadpole, but Kero and his slow wit bought it.

"Oh, in that case, take this," offered he on his pet's way out. "Don't eat it all at once."

"This isn't edible," pointed out Maelstrom.

"An even better reason not to." Shaking his head and trying to ignore the incompetence, Maelstrom waved his arm and conjured a tidal wave to carry him to Tokyo.

"Vee? What are you doing?" called Aunt Veevee from the kitchen. "Uhhh, just looking... for... a... paper clip!" VotM quickly lied as she went through Veevee's purse.

"There are some in the desk," offered Veevee. VotM pulled out five hundred dollar bills.

"Never mind. I found some," she dismissed as she stuffed them into the fanny pack she wore around her waist. Then she turned around only to come face to face with Sunny.

Sunny opened her mouth and started to say, "Mooommm! Vee's ta-" VotM covered the fluffhead's mouth with her paw.

"Shut up, and I'll take you with me," she hissed. Sunny smiled and nodded.

"What Sunny?" called Veevee as she stirred the Bellsprout stew.

"Vee and me are going to Japan," sang Sunny.

"Aw, how sweet! It's nice that Vee is playing with you." By then, VotM had grabbed Sunny and was out the door.

"One adult and one child to Japan please," asked VotM to the lady at the ticket booth once the pair had finally made it to the airport.

"I don't think fourteen counts as an adult, Vee," started Sunny as VotM pulled out the money in her fanny pack.

"Quiet you!" silenced VotM.

"Oooh, I'm so sorry, but all flights to Japan have been canceled due to that big monster that's running about," informed the lady as she typed on her computer. Sunny began to cry like there was no tomorrow.

"Hmm... oo!" squeaked VotM as she came up with an idea. She pulled out her shell phone. Get it? Cell phone, shell phone? Get it? ... Jeez, there's no pleasing you people. She dialed up her brother Cliff Jumper's best friend, Sparky the Jolteon.

"'Ello?" answered Sparky.

"Hi, Sparky, it's Vee. Uh... I have a favor to ask you. See, me and Sun need to get to Japan but all the Flights were canceled, so I was wondering if you could highjack one of the planes and fly us there. Okay? ... Hello? Hello? ... Sparky?"

"What?" asked a familiar voice.

"Aaah!" VotM nearly had a heart attack. Sparky was right behind her. His kind are faaast.

"To the planes!" cried Sparky. They snuck through the baggage claim area and out onto the runway.

"Oo... high!" exclaimed Sunny, craning her neck up to see the plane.

"So, how do we get in it?" wondered VotM.

"Easy," assured Sparky. "I'll just find a ladder." He found/stole a ladder and propped it against the plane and then pried open the door. Once they were inside, Sparky made a beeline for the cock pit. There, he went nuts. "Buttons!" he gasped. VotM looked out the window in horror.

"Uh-oh! A mob of angry Mickey D's employees are coming this way! Get us outta here!" she pleaded. Sparky pushed all the buttons at once, which required him to lay on the control panel, and the plane went straight up. No going down the runway to gain momentum, just up in two seconds flat. Sunny and VotM were crushed against the floor by the g-forces. "Never... let... an... electric... Pokémon... handle... heavy... machinery!" VotM strained to say slowly. Back in the cock pit, the Jolteon was living up to the warning.

"Up-down-oh-look-a-burd! Must-ram-the-bird-splat! Uuuppp-crash-into-the-empire-state-building! Tooo-Japan-and-get-some-sweet-sake!"

Meanwhile, in Japan, the terrible monster known as Zooky rampaged throughout the streets of Tokyo, overturning the tanks, buses, and trains in his path. While keeping a constant flow of sake and Crispy M&M's to his mouth, Keki still couldn't get over how kawaii he was. She must have some sight problems. Vee and company had crashed landed on an airport in Japan. Luckily, no one was hurt. As they struggled to get up, some Japanese militants carried them away.

"You must get away," one of them said badly out of lip sink. "The monster approaches."

A horrifying scream in the distance fainlty called out, "zooooookyyyy! zoookkkyyy"

It was immediately followed by a quiet chorus of, "kawaii, kawaii, kawaii!" The men pushed the Pokémon out of the way and turned with guns aimed to face the oncoming Zooky. They stood at the edge of the barricades that the guards had erected, squinting to make out Zooky.

"Hey, guys. What's going on?" said a mysterious figure. They turned to find out it was...

"Jackdaw!" Vee cried in a shrill voice smiling. She bit deep into his leg.

"Ow, what was that for?" the man complained. "I know I deserved it, but I want to be clear on which act caused it."

"Leaving me at the alter with a fake Flareon," she reminded with cold eyes. She then got out a bucket. "Here's your Ditto back."

"Awww, Jelly, no! You're not suppose to get these wet!" He looked around at the surrounding pandemonium. "Hey, what's all this?"

"Zooky went berserk again. He's hyped up on M&M's," one of them explained briefly. "He won't stay still long enough for anyone to get him to stop." Jackdaw rubbed his chin pondering. He then fell to the ground.

"The pain!" he cried but then composed himself. "I got it!" he triumphantly declared. He reached into the pocket on his coat and pulled out a thermos.

"What's that?" VotM queried. He beckoned Sunny to him. He poured out some of the steamy contents into the cap and had her drink it.

"Coffee," he told with a smirk.

"Noo!" they all screamed, but it was too late. Sunny began to shake uncontrollably. She appeared as a blur in the common eye.

"Go, Sunny, stop that Zooky!"

"Iiiiitttttt'sssss tttttoooooooo mmmmuuuccchhhh!!!" jittered the furry blur. It continued shaking until its image became translucent. Faster than a blink, Sunny was all over the rampaging Zooky.

"Zookin'!" it cried in a dopey voice while swatting at the pest buzzing around it. It stumbled away.

"Yes, and this new gigantism serum," explained a scientist inside of a nearby research facility, "will never fall into the wrong hands and destroy our city again."

"Are you sure?" questioned a businessman. "Last time an amoeba found the serum and destroyed the half of Tokyo that wasn't being rebuilt after that Godzilla strike at the current time."

"Of course not! My Evil Giant Monster Potion is completely safe," boasted he. Just then, Zooky with the hyper Sunny buzzing around stumbled through the wall.

"ZOOKY!" cried Zooky.

"COFFEE!" exclaimed Sunny. They crashed onto the meeting table, spilling the serum all over. The yellow madness grew to an immense size. He broke from out top of the building. Looking around at the puny mortals below, he let out a deep roar.

"Something tells me that Sunny didn't do it," Vee said while gazing upon the behemoth. The monstrosity reveled through the streets, taking down all buildings in his swath.

"Duuuuuummmmmm, dum dum dummmmm, dum dum dummm, dummmmmm," hummed a voice.

"Hey, who's doing that?" asked Jackdaw.

"Oh, sorry," apologized Maelstrom. "Hey, guys, I found Zooky."

"Oh really," mocked Vee. "He's only taller than all of the buildings in Tokyo. How could you miss him?"

"Well, it did take me a while," recalled the tadpole. "At first, I thought that it could have been a tourist."

"Uh-oh, he's crushing hospitals," pointed out VotM.

"Eh, no biggy," shrugged off Maelstrom.

"Now he's heading toward the Square Soft building."

"Fiend!" cried Maelstrom. "We must smite this evil now!" He hopped down the streets over the fleeing masses. He leapt to the Square building and kicked down the door. "C'mon, everybody!" ordered he. Through the dark of the door came out a warrior clad in red. Though short and super deformed, he seemed to be strong enough. In his hand, he wielded a red crystal. Following him came a dwarfed blue caped wizard with glowing eyes in the black under the rim of his wide hat. He carried another crystal. Finally, a woman in white robed mage came forth. She gave a blue crystal to Maelstrom and kept the other for herself. "Alright, you freakishly short adventurers, let's get him!"

"What, the giant yellow fellow?" inquired the fighter. "We're supposed to fight something that ridiculous?"

"'Mad pony'?" shortly stated the tadpole.

"I stand corrected," admitted he. He brought out his sword and wildly hacked it in the air. Despite the warrior's distance from Zooky, and the fact that the weapon never once met Zooky's skin, he still managed to strike him. The mages blasted spells from their safe distance. Zooky looked over to them and set his foot down.

"Aw, that's not right," Maelstrom said while looking at the pool of blood beneath Zooky's foot. "Well, at least I still have the Crystal of Water. Only half of the other FF's have this!"

Suddenly, Zooky began to sing, "Oooh, you don't need pants for the victory dance!" As he continued on, another giant figure rose from the rubble.

"Oo! Even more kawii!" cried Keki. Zooky stopped and turned around to see who would dare be cuter then him. "Ah! A giant Eifui! Kawaii! Sure enough, Sunny had grown big enough to reach Zooky's waist. And was still hyper.

"Zooky! Play with me!" she demanded then rammed Zooky in the gut. The two giants grappled each other in a fierce combat.

"Oh no, Sunny needs helps," squealed Jackdaw in a falsetto voice.

"What the-" Vaporeon began to query. Jackdaw, opening a small box he had with him, spoke into it.

"Alright twins, do your stuff. Bring back the Guardian of the Earth!"

"Hai!" the faerie twins agreed and began their song. "Mothuraaaaaa! Mothuraaaaaa!" As they sang their divine music, on the far off Infant Island, a giant Caterpie arose from its ancient slumber. The fairy notes drew it to Tokyo to defend peace.

"Oh no," a citizen cried out badly lipsyncked, "Mothra approaches. We must flee for our lives!"

"Hey, Mothra's a good guy," Jackdaw whined. "She saved your lives countless times."

"Who cares? We must foolishly try to destroy her!" Quickly, the tanks diverted their attack to the caterpillar, who simply tossed the tanks away with an easy swipe of its tail. "Well, that was pointless." Soon, the great Caterpie was admist the battle of Gargantuan Zooky and Hyper-Giant Sunny... and Jackdaw was eating a chocolate shaped Godzilla.

"Wooo! Go Mothra!" he cheered while he chewed its head. While he wasn't looking, Squishy, his Tentacruel, began sniffing at some spilled serum nearby. Zooky was in a tricky spot. He had both a Hyper-Giant Sunny and Mothra to worry about. Zooky first began to pummel the fat worm.

"Aw, it's just big and useless right now," complained Jackdaw. "It's gotta change first! Spin your cocoon." Mothra spat out its silk, enveloping its entire body. "Yes yes, all we need to do now is wait."

"What do you mean? The city is being destroyed!" screamed VotM. "We need to stop Zooky now!" Suddenly, a large shadow loomed over the group.

"Oh no! Squishy is huge," pointed out Maelstrom. "Now how am I supposed to eat him?"

"Urgh," grunted Jackdaw, "giant... Tentacruel... bringing back... painful flashback... of anime..."

"Just remember Jackdaw: that was first season," aided Maelstrom. "Brock was in it. It wasn't as bad."

"Phew, I feel a lot better now. Thanks, Maelstrom. When did you get so nice?"

"Oh, you know, I just care a lot about your candy bar."

"What?" asked Jackdaw.

"Uh, nothing," said the tadpole, concealing the Whatchamacallit behind his back. The kraken now rushed toward Zooky, jiggling its foam rubber like exterior all the while. Zooky stood in place, beating his chest and stamping up and down. The behemoth and leviathan grappled in a apocalyptic struggle. "Hmm, what we need is an un-bigalizing-make small-thing," said Maelstrom.

"Uh, you mean a shrinking serum?" corrected VotM.

"Yeah, that's the stuff. Jackdaw, what was used on your brain?"

"Just repeated dropping as a child," replied the idiot.

"Well, we have to stop Zooky," spoke Maelstrom. "When I was young, he was an evil king that forced my fellow slaves and I to battle giant monsters. After my best friend died, I escaped to usurp him and save the world."

"What are you talking about?" questioned Vee.

"I don't know," responded Maelstrom. "Something freaky must have been in Jackdaw's Whatchamacallit."

"I use extra lead paint," stated he stupidly.

"But shouldn't Sunny and Mothra stop Zooky" asked VotM.

"Arrggghhhh!" was the scream of pain from the huge Sunny being hit by a huge piece of salami which had been dipped in the serum as well, apparently.

"ZOOKY!!" shouted Zooky and people miles around could hear it.

"CRUELLLLLL!!!" Squishy, who was now huge as well, wrapped his tentacles around Zooky, stopping his moving.

"Yes! Go, Squishy!!" shouted Jackdaw who was now chewing on Firefox's leg which he got in VB3. "Mm, this is even nicer than that Psyduck leg."

"Jackdaw! That's one and a half years old!" stated VotM, "and it's the remains of my ex-fiance!" VotM ran up and snatched it off him.

"Oh, bugger," cursedd Jackdaw as he looked through his pocket for more old references to eat.

"ZOOKY!!" shouted the Hypno as he broke free from Squishy's grip. The Tentacruel fell back, unable to stand up against Zooky with his M&M's powering him on.

"Oh great," Jackdaw complained, "Mothra's doing nothing but sucking out there." He then turned and pointed to the Faerie Twins. "You lied to me, Peanuts! You said Mothra would win!"

"We're are ever so sorry. We needed the work." The twins spoke in unison. Pausing for a short while, they spoke again. "We are getting paid, aren't we?"

"... No."

"Ooh..." They shrank down in their box and lowered their heads. Jackdaw was then hit by a thought.

"Wait a minute, the Peanuts aren't really faeries, you're people! How'd you get so small?"

"We used the de-biggening serum," they both answered.

"Shrinking serum! Where is it? That would prove most helpful in getting Zooky down to size, plus destroy a lot less property."

"Well," the two explained, "we used it all to shrink ourselves. But you can get more. There is a spring of it on Monster Island."

"Aw, Monster Island? Why can't anything be on 'Pie Island', or 'The Isles of Taco'," Jackdaw rambled. "It always has to be something 'The Mountain of Death', or 'The Lake of Woe', or 'The Court House'." He made little quotation mark gestures with his hands as he spoke. "Well, we better get going." He cupped his hands over his mouth and called out loudly. "Hey, Squishy! Sssqqquuuiiissshhhyyy!!!"

"What?" responded the giant jellyfish, still on his side from the fight.

"Take us to Monster Island," screamed Jackdaw. His pet shrugged its shoulders (tendrils).

"You're the boss." In a sweep of his tendril, he picked up Jackdaw and everyone in his immidiate vincinity. Drawing back his tentacle, Jackdaw spoke to himself.

"I really should of made the order more cle-" Before he could finish, he, and those with him, were catapulted in the direction of Monster Island.

The landing at Monster Island had not been pleasant. "The paaaiiiin!" moaned Jackdaw as he rubbed his behind. VotM mumbled something in agreement. Then she looked up.

"Hey! A fish tree!" she cried.

"NO!" cried the two fairies). Too late. VotM was already up the tree gorging herself on white fish chub.

"What's wrong with eating a few fish that grow on trees?" Jackdaw wondered.

"Those are the fruit of the Doom Tree! Anyone who eats them will turn into a creature that they would never want to be!" chimed the two tiny ladies.

"So... that's bad, right?"

"YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Howled VotM falling from the tree. She hit the ground and curled up into a ball.

A great voice that seemed to come from all around boomed at them, "YE WHO HAVE EATEN THY FRUIT OF PAIN (and white fish chub) SHALL SUFFER A FATE OF PAIN AND SADDNESS!!!" VotM's body turned a Neon blue, then slowly the color faded and in the place VotM had lain was a human girl with brown hair and a hat that read: "Damn the Higher Dragon!"

"Aaah! I'm a human!" VotM cried as she looked down at herself. She pointed at Sparky. "Please impale me with your spines and I'll be eternally grateful!"

"I think you look nice Vee!" Sparky admitted. VotM glared at him. "We can find a way to turn you back," Jackdaw said quickly. "But first we have to find... the uh... Whatchamacallit." The tadpole pushed the crumbled wrapper deeper into his pocket.

"The Pond of Shrinking... Stuff," VotM supplied. "Oh great! This small human brain has limited my vocabulary!" she groaned.

"To the Pond of Shrinking... Stuff!" echoed Jackdaw as he led the way across the island. Vaporeon, er, Human of the Mist fell to the ground.

"How do you humans balance yourselves with only two legs?" asked she. She looked back at her two appendages. "And no tail either."

"Yeah, I had trouble walking after I lost my tail," Jackdaw stated.

"Uh, you're a human, Jackdaw," sighed Maelstrom. "You never had a tail."

"And how would you know that?" inquired Jackdaw.

"I've known you for quite some time," said Maelstrom. "That, and it's your word against mine. Who do you think people are going to trust." The group began to ponder, stroking their chins. "Uh, when it comes to intelligence." All then agreed upon the Poliwhirl. Vee bent down to the group on all fours.

"All right," cried she, "let's go!"

"Wait a minute," interjected the tadpole. "You just turned into a human, right? That means you don't have any cloths on! I mean, where would you get them from?"

"You're right!" she shrieked. "I hadn't even noticed."

"Well, we're all Pokémon," spoke Maelstrom, "so we don't mind that much."

"What about Jackdaw?"

"He's probably too spaced out to even realize that your naked."

"She what-ed?" asked Jackdaw, finally leaving his dreamland of twinkies.

"Nothing. Now, give Vee your coat for no reason," ordered Maelstrom. They wandered Monster Island for quite some time. It was easy to avoid all potential threats; they just evaded the giants they could easily see for miles away. Now, the group knew not of the exact coordinates of the spring, so instead, they just searched the entire isle.

35 hours later...

"Hey, I think this is it," said Vee.

"Okay, I'll just get a bucket of the stuff and we'll be off," stated Jackdaw. He dipped his pail into the spring and carried it up. "Let's go! Hey, what's going on?" The bucket began to shrink, spilling most of the shrinking serum inside.

"We need a large enough container that won't shrink too small when the serum is applied," explained Maelstrom. "Any ideas?"

"Hmmm, maybe one," diabolically schemed Vee while sending an evil smile to Sunny, still a giant mind you.

"Oh, I don't even know how I got here," pitifully quoted Sunny.

"Go faster," commanded Vee who was holding a regularly sized drenched Sunny with some tongs.

"We're going as fast as possible," the Poliwhirl yelled back with his arms outstretched. The wave on which they rode hurried for Tokyo. In the distance they could see Mothra and Zooky clashing. Half of Tokyo was leveled, but the inhabitants were more than accustomed to that.

"Release the Sunny!" exclaimed Jackdaw. Vee released the furball, and it dashed toward the titans. It ran about them, dropping its shrinking serum.

"ZZZZOOOOOKKKYyyyyy..."

"Hey, I'm small again," moped Squishy. "I still wanted to kill stuff," it sobbed. "It's not fair!"

"There there, Squishy," comforted Jacdaw. How 'bout I let you kill Vee?"

"Hey!"

"Uh, you didn't here that," told Jackdaw with shifty eyes.

Yes, now with Zooky back to regular size, our heros' adventure truly begins...

"Whaddaya mean? It's been begun for a while now?" queried Maelstrom.

Ignore the tadpole. He doesn't know what he's saying.

"That's it, narrator. Don't make me come up there!"

Meanwhile, in England, Kargo received from bad news from the telly.

"Aw, the rampage has come to an end," complained the Kabutops. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared. Slowly, it took form into a rounded body with gloved arms and legs.

"Kargo! Come with me to Tokyo," Maelstrom explained. "You won't believe what's happened. Um, Philbo isn't around, is he?"

"No, he's right where you left him."

"No, make it stop!" lamented Philbo.

"Fine, I'll take out Pokémon: The First Movie," said the Grim Mistress of Hel. "Now, you can watch Slayers, but I've edited out everything except for Lina Inverse's terrible dubbing by Lisa Oritz!"

"Kill me now!" screamed Philbo.

"You're already dead," said another deceased.

"Oh yeah..."

"He's not back yet?" whimpered Maelstrom, packing away his finely whet blade.

"So what's going on in Tokyo now?" asked Kargo.

"Well, I can't explain now for no good reason, and we need another character, too."

"What about me and my Charizard?" asked Psybro, the brother of Philbo.

"But your Charizard hates you, isn't that right," the tadpole insisted to the lizard, waving his hands and spinning his insignia. "You hate your master and wonder what his charred flesh would taste like." The Charizard licked and smacked its lips below its now lifeless, dull eyes.

"We'll leave you two alone," said Maelstrom while teleporting Kargo and himself away. The salamander slowly advanced upon its master. "Say 'hi' to your brother for me."

"ZOOKY!" cried the maddened Hypno back in Japan, waving around his piece of meat.

"We really should have shrunken that salami when we were shrinking everything, you know?" mentioned Jackdaw.

The Hypno wielded his massive meat, crushing buildings. Another inspiration came to Jackdaw.

"That's it!"

"What?" questioned Sunny. "Aren't you suppose to be dumb? What's with all the ideaing?"

"To defeat Zooky," he began to explain, ignoring the comment, "all we need to do is get a giant piece of bread and eat his salami! Mmm, giant sandwich," he drooled while licking his lips gluttonously. The group shook there heads, but then Vapoeron- er, Vee realized something.

"No, guys," she stated. "He's right!"

"I think that 'humaning' has made her a little dumber," the Poliwhirl said to no one in particular.

"No, don't you see?" Vee began in the new threads she had stolen from a smashed store: a baggy pair of blue jeans and a T-shirt that read, "Pokémon Ondo". She still had the hat that damned the Higher Dragon. "We can eat the sandwich, and it won't be there any more! Get it?" VotM explained as she waved her hands around wildly. All the Pokémon shook their heads sadly.

"ZOOKY!" the Hypno roared as he smashed the Tokyo Tower with his salami. Then school girl Keki appeared out of no where.

"Zooky-san, you are sssoooooo kawii! Marry me and I sharr cook and crean for you, arways!" Zooky considered this offer.

"Zooky, no!" cried out not-a-VotM. "We've already had an unsuccessful wedding in VB3!"

Zooky only replied, "ZOOKY!!" Who didn't see that coming? In one swift movement, he picked up keki and threw her up into the air. Then he twisted his wrists so as to hold his salami like a baseball bat, reared back and swung.

"Ahhh!" cried the silly Japanese girl as she flew from the salami-bat towards the giant Caterpie, who had now got up. "No!" She flew inside the Caterpie's mouth, and the only sound that anyone could hear was CHOMP! So mighty was his swing that the sausage fell from his grasp and spun in the air with the little girl. Again, the Caterpie chomped down.

"Hey, I wanted that sausage," whined Jackdaw.

"You couldn't have eaten that entire thing," spoke the newly arriving Maelstrom.

"Feh, you and your 'laws of physics'," mocked Jackdaw. "I'll show you! I'll eat that Caterpie with the sausage in it!"

"Uh," groaned the Poliwhirl. "Look, Jackdaw, something shiney."

"Oh, that's not going t- hey, that is shiney," said the human. "Very shiney." As the lack-wit gazed and drooled, Kargo brandished his blades.

"All I know is I have to get revenge on Zooky for whatever he did to Vee!" threatened he.

"I'm right here," said she in her new form.

"Ah! What happened?" asked Kargo.

"There was a slight mishap," VotM told.

"Not as bad as the time Kero found the store of vodka and gardening shears," recollected the tadpole. "One wonders why we would keep them side by side."

"Anyway," said Vee, attempting to ignore Maelstrom's remark, "I guess this means you can't chase after me now, Kargo."

"Or maybe he could," considered Jackdaw.

"Wait, you have a Kabutops going after a new human and some school girl wanting to marry Zooky? What kind of story is this turning into?" noticed Maelstrom.

"It's going to get a whole lot stranger!" announced a voice.

"Philbo!" cried Sunny. "Is that you? You look so much different in one piece."

"I'll fix that," stated Maelstrom, while unsheathing a meat cleaver. "Hey, Kargo, you told me that he was dead still."

"I didn't want him to push that rock any more," said Kargo. "It's amazing he got it up that hill as much as he already has."

"No, wait, Maelstrom," Philbo said, "I promise that I'll be good this time. No more trying to kill you or summoning evil forces."

"Really? Aww," lamented Maelstrom. "Now whom am I going to kill?" A shadow shaded the vicinity. Slowly descended Psybro on his retamed Charizard.

"How dare you try to get my Charizard to kill me!" whined Psybro. An invisible smile seemed over the Poliwhirl.

"Here are some goggles and aprons, guys," told the Poliwhirl. "You're gonna need them." Immediately, he set off to work. He took out his meat cleaver and gave it a quick spin. With a short leap, he drove his blade into the air and then into Psybro. Again and again, he assailed both he and his salamander.

"So anyway," continued Vee while wiping off some splatter, "have any of you seen Zooky and Keki?"

"Uh-oh, did they run off?" worried Jackdaw.

"Please! Make him stop!" screamed a voice from behind.

"C'mon, it's not like you have much left to feel pain with anyway," stated the tadpole. With a final jump, he gathered omnipotent energies and sent the blade straight into Psybro, leaving a crater there. He spun about his blade before sheathing it, sending a rain of blood everywhere.

"Aw, did you have do to that?" asked Sunny while cleaning off its goggles.

"Eh, it just looks cool," responded he.

"No, kill Psybro," said Vee. "You let Zooky get away."

"But it was worth it." None contended the argument.

"Uh-oh, guys. I just now realized that Mothra is still here, with no giants to battle," Jackdaw pointed out as the gargantuan worm crushed some more buildings and shot silly string in all directions. "Oh, no," he began to complain. "Now it's spinning a cocoon... which it should have already been inside..." Threads began to fly over its body until it was encased entirely. "Well, it sure was useless bringing her out of slumber. Doesn't this just suck- Hey!" He then noticed a piece of Psybro had landed next to him. "Eh. No reason to waste it," he said as he drew the flesh to his mouth.

"Jackdaw, no!" Maelstrom leapt to him and slapped the meat out of his hands.

"What? I didn't even get a taste," Jackdaw mourned.

"Don't you see? That was Psybro! He was probably ripe with suck force, just like Hay Cheng! It's probably contagious," the Poliwhirl grimly spoke. "And we all know that we don't need anymore sucky characters in this story." Jackdaw stood with his hand at his chin like he was actually understanding the tadpole's words.

"Just a taste?" The Poliwhirl brought his palm to his forehead, or, at least, what you'd call his forehead.

"Look everyone," Squishy pointed to the cocoon. "She's stirring." A great blinding light shone from the crevice in the cocoon. Emerging from it was a giant Butterfree, but something was wrong with it. It began to gag and cough until it discharged something from its throat. The object appeared to be Keki. As she sailed to the ground, she repeatedly shrieked, "Kawaii kawaii kawaii!" until she crashed into the ground. Squishy casually peered into the crater she left.

"You alright?" he non-chalantly questioned. Her eyes lit up when she laid eyes upon him.

"Ooo, Dokukurage wa, kawaii desu!" she rambled.

"Uh, yeah. Okay," he attempted to respond since not knowing Japanese. "I guess." He shrugged his tendrils.

"She said 'poison jellyfish is cute', you lack wit," Jackdaw blurted out from no where. All stared at him blankly in amazement. "What? It's a simple sentence."

"You speak Japanese, Jackdaw?"

"Well, I speak some of it," he tried to say modestly.

"How much?"

"Sore wa, himitsu desu," spoke Jackdaw holding his index finger in the air while his eyes changed to arches. Maelstrom scratched his head.

"That... is... a... secret?" he murmured to himself. "Hey, you don't know Japanese!" he accused the human while pointing at him with a gloved finger. "You're just using popular lines from Anime!" The man quickly tried to think of a retaliation when it came to him.

"Hai!" He hung his head in shame.

"Aaanyways," Squishy slowly began to say, "this chick obviously has some sight problems. I'm anything but 'kawaii'," he boasted while trying to make himself look as fierce as possible.

"There's only one way to find out," wittily suggested the Poliwhirl. He picked up Jackdaw and walked over the crater. He then shoved Jackdaw's face straight in front of Keki's eyes. She stared at him for a short while, but then...

"Kawaii!"

"Yep," reported the Poliwhirl, "this girl's got some serious sight problem."

"Hey..." moaned the insulted Jackdaw.

"Here ya go, doll. They're glasses." Maelstrom handed her some corrective lenses. After putting them on, she took a second look at Jackdaw and screamed in horror.

"Hey..." moaned the now twice insulted Jackdaw as Keki ran in terror screaming.

"Biro, biro, biiiiiiroooooo!"

"Did ya catch that one, Jack?" queried the now smirking Squishy.

"Shut up."

VotM had been listening and watching this little drama when suddenly a familiar voice rang out inside her human head: "I art truly in a bad mood today. First, a mere mortal eats from my Holy Fish Tree, and now a crazed Hypno is stealing my togas! Beacause I am a cranky old fart of a god, I will double your curse by making you a human who speaks only Japanese! Kami has spoken!"

With that, VotM gasped and shouted, "Jackdaw-san! Kami-"

"Vee!" Sunny rejoiced and jumped into VotM's arms.

"Nani?" VotM demanded.

Sunny giggled, "You is talking funny talk!"

"Iie! Yamero-"

"Ooo! Buy me that thingy!" Sunny said as she spotted a wind-up Venusaur.

"Demo-"

"Please!!!" VotM decided to shut up and pulled a bill out of her pocket.

"A twenty?" questioned Sunny. "What about yen? You're gonna need that if you want to buy anything." Vee looked around for somewhere to exchange her foreign currency.

"Wait, where did you get that twenty from? You didn't have pockets when you were a Vaporeon," noticed the Poliwhirl.

"Dai, Nyorozo!" she screamed while poising to strike.

"Hey, look at that," said Maelstrom as he stepped away. Vee struck the ground flat on her face. "Is that Zooky boarding a plane?"

"Itisitisitislet'sgoafterhimrightnow!" rambled the excited Eevee. They all rushed toward the plane but were too late.

"Well, we don't really know if it was Zooky," tried to reason Maelstrom.

"ZOOKY!" a faint voice cried from the zenith.

"Ahhh! It's that big yellow monster we saw on TV! Zooky!" a woman shrieked.

"What's his name?" a man asked.

"Zooky! Yep, it certainly is him," responded she.

"Hey, you're right, Maelstrom," Jackdaw stated. "We don't know if it really was Zooky."

"There's no need to be sarcastic, Jackdaw."

"Sarcastic?" he responded confused.

"How are we gonna get there now," asked Kargo. "Maelstrom wouldn't be able to teleport us all."

"Well, if I killed-" began the Poliwhirl.

"No," quickly retaliated the fossil. "Wait, let's see if we can get on that other flight." They charged the plane to try and get on.

"Sorry," told the pilot, "but this isn't a passenger flight. It's a giant shipment of Crispy M&M's that have got to go back to Mars (the company, not the planet, lack wits) due to the fact that they were too delicious. We don't know why we are doing this, but we figured that no one will try and hijack this flight as long as we have these two guards, Biggs and Wedge, whom I can assure you, always live." The group looked at each other.

"Rakki!" squealed VotM.

Several minutes and beatings later, most of the group was chowing down on the Crispy M&M's while Maelstrom followed Zooky's flight.

"I'm surprised you know how to fly a plane, Uncle Maelstrom," praised Sunny, who was vibrating due to the extreme level of sugar coursing through its veins.

"Hey, I haven't killed you yet, so let up on the 'Uncle' stuff," threatened the tadpole. "Besides, I got enough flying experience from the last time I was on a plane."(FLASHBACK!)

"Stupid pilot," murmured Kero under his breath. "How dare he shake the plane around like that and make me spill my RC Cola."

"That was turbulence, Kero," informed the Poliwhirl. "It wasn't the pilot's fault." Kero Kato shifted his eyes from side to side. Maelstrom immediately knew that his web of incompetence was woven. "So, what did you do," sighed he, half fearing the answer.

"I just put some valium in his schnappes," said Kero.

"Bright move," mocked the tadpole.

"Help!" exclaimed a flight attendant. "The pilot is dead!"

"Kero, what did you do?"

"I thought is was just some pills! I didn't want to kill him."

"Oh yes, you wanted our fiery crash to kill him, not your pills."

"Let's see," whispered Kero to himself as he brought out a bottle. "How many P's in valium?"

"What?" questioned the Poliwhirl. "There are no P's in valium."

"The bottle says 'p-o-i-s-o-n'. Huh, whadyaknow," stated Kero.

"You fool! That's worse than poison!" fearfully warned Maelstrom. "That's Pepsi One! I just put it in that bottle until I could reach the proper waste management facility and labeled it 'poison' so that none would taste of its vile death!" Suddenly, the plane jolted down. As control was lost, Kero lost grasp of his bottle. The Pepsi One crashed on the ground, releasing putrid vapors into the air. The surrounding passengers gagged and fell like flies. Kero Kato and Maelstrom covered their mouths and ran into the cockpit. After sealing it off, they took their seats and peered out the window to their oncoming doom.

"Quick! Do something, Kero!" ordered Maelstrom.

"What is that I remember about pilots? Oh yeah, they take valium," he said, and then popped a pill.

"Uh, no, you threatened to slip a pill into the pilot's drink. Pilot's aren't supposed to."

"Teehee!" giggled Kero. "Your head looks funny," he managed to say before plopping his head into the controls.

"Kero! Wake up!"

"Can't... too peaceful here... you must save the lives..."

"Aw, that's not like me at all" With a heavy breath, Maelstrom assumed control of the plane.(ENDFLASH)

"Yep, I've had my share of experiences," related Maelstrom to Sunny. "It gets better when we have to out run the police and Kero can barely even stand!"

"Guren!" cried an shaking Vee.

"What? Why is Zooky going back to Cinnabar?" inquired Maelstrom. After landing (crashing) the plane, the group proceeded after Zooky, whom they could easily follow by traveling along the swath of idiotic destruction. They were led to a giant crater.

"Where did this come from?" asked Kargo.

"This was from our first battle with Zooky," told Maelstrom. "This little blemish was caused by me as I destroyed half of Cinnabar."

"Zooky's down there!" said Jackdaw. The group descended the slope to confront their foe.

The group had closed in on Zooky, with fire in their eyes and the taste of blood on their lips. Well, Jackdaws anyway.

"Owww!" cried Jackdaw, as he looked down at his lip and realized he was chewing at it. Blood spurted to the ground. "Mmm, this tastes good!" mumbled Jackdaw as he began to tear at his lip with his teeth. "Better than Firefox's leg anyway." The Hypno looked into VotM's eyes.

"Now you will pay for what you have done, you obnoxious Hypno!"

"ZZZZOOOOOOOOKKKYYYYYYY!!!"

"Jackdaw," shouted Squishy, "you idiot. You're getting blood all over yourself."

"Shut up, Squishy. Why are you even out, anyways?" he questioned himself. "I'm going to get one of my more loyal monsters." He fished around his belt for the correct ball. "Gooooo, Cinder!"

"Nooo-" Squishy attempted to stop him, but was too late. From the crimson light came a Flareon. Its slim figure and dark fur gave it a much grimmer look than most. Slowly, his dull jet black eyes opened as he gazed at his surroundings. All were in fear to how he and Vee would react. It was their first encounter since the "incident". After examining the crowd, he turned to Jackdaw.

"Whoo, am I glad Vee isn't here."

"cinder," whispered Squishy. Not hearing his comrade, he went on.

"I mean, it's about time I got away from that -"

"Cinder!" Squishy had spoken louder this time. "Vee's right over there," he said while pointing to the human.

"Konnichiwa," she greeted with a bow. Cinder laughed to himself.

"Yeah, that's funny, Squish," Cinder said in amusement.

"No, it really is her. She was changed into a human," Jackdaw explained.

"Yeah, right," Cinder spoke in disbelief. "What was I doing now," he recollected. "Oh, yeah, insulting Vee. Anyways, Vee is such a -"

... One Minute Later...

"Whoa," Jackdaw exclaimed. "I never heard the word 'whore' so much in one minute before in my life!"

"I never saw anyone get pummeled so badly in one minute before in my life..." the Poliwhirl mentioned.

"Well, Cinder didn't know that she only could speak Japanese. If he had known that," Jackdaw pointed out, "he wouldn't have said 'Vee-chan wa, joro imasu'." The Poliwhirl chuckled to himself lightly.

"You taught 'em that one, didn't ya?"

"Well... yeah," Jackdaw said as if it were an accomplishment to be proud of.

"Baka Busutaa," Vee mumbled as she blew on her burned fists.

"ZOOKY!" cried the Hypno, still standing where they had left it.

"Oh, yeah, we forgot about you," said Jackdaw as he returned the remains of Cinder to his rightful vessel. "It's amazing that you're still here."

"ZOOKY!" The maniac jumped from one foot to the other.

"We must stop him!" Jackdaw cried as he struck an Anime hero pose.

"Yeah!" agreed Kargo as he attempted to strike his own fancy pose. Zooky pulled out his bat, still large, and bonked every one flat. Then, with a few rounds of shouting his name, he ran into the destroyed lab on Cinnabar.

"Kutsu!" VotM groaned as she pulled herself up. After every one slowly recovered from Zooky's painful attack, Sparky spoke up.

"Uh, my calculator says that if we don't get the sugar level in Zooky's blood down, he might implode."

"Kuzu!" VotM said with a dismissive wave of her hand.

"My calculator never lies!" Sparky informed. Suddenly his calculator exploded from the energy coming from his body.

"Kuyashigaru!" VotM said in shock.

"I wish you could speak English or Pokémon Speak... or... whatever we're speaking," Kargo sighed.

"Kyojin Baka!" Vee informed him.

"ZOOKY! Push button," a voice cried out from the old lab followed by a huge explosion that flung every one and every thing into the air.

"Make one remark about 'blasting off again' and I kill you," Jackdaw was quick to say as they were hurled into the sunset.

"Hie Kyuyu!" Vee agreed.

Maelstrom stood up, rubbing his head. He looked around his surroundings. He saw Kargo, Jackdaw, Vee, and Sunny, but no one else.

"Looks like our group has been separated," he noticed. As everyone else got up, they took in their surroundings. They were obviously in some sort of forest now. It was too thick to give way to any location.

"Where are we now?" asked Jackdaw. "It's dark and scary and I'm afraid that I'll wet myself."

"I think we're all afraid of that," said Kargo. He then turned to Vee. "Ya know, you can stay close to me if you get scared."

"Thanks, buddy," thanked Jackdaw as he embraced the fossil.

"Get away from me, you little freak," growled Kargo. "I was talking to Vee." Her only response was something too obscene to say, even if it was in Japanese.

"I think I may know a way to tell where we are," said Maelstrom. At that, his image glowed and left them, leaving only a few bits of glittering energy behind. He reappeared far above them, with an eagle eye's view of the area. After taking a long look, he fell back to the ground with a large thud. When he came too, Maelstrom tried to remember what he had seen past his concussion.

"I remember a city to the south with a lot of screaming and smoke coming from it," remembered the tadpole.

"So where do you think Zooky ran off too?" questioned Jackdaw.

"North!" screamed Kargo. "Does anyone disagree?" he stated while brandishing a blade.

"Uh... no. So, let's go... north... and remember that the sun rises in the west... so actually, that direction is north... not south," spoke the Poliwhirl. They embarked to the city. They made their way through the snowy terrain until they emerged at the city.

"Hey, there was a city to the north, too!" realized Kargo. "Looks like Maelstrom didn't see this. I guess somebody isn't all that bright."

"Ya got that right," Maelstrom murmured under his breath.

"ZOOOKKYYY!" yelled the enraged yellow freak. He rammed into houses, destroying them utterly.

"Not even I have been on a sugar binge this bad before!" exclaimed Sunny. Maelstrom only studied the situation. Zooky ran off again, but the group couldn't keep up with his high sugar content. They found Zooky's footprints in a snowy field. Just before they could follow them, Vee began to whimper.

"Awww, Vee is afraid of the snow," said Sunny.

"Afraid, eh?" stated Maelstrom. "Oh, let me tell you a little story to help you overcome your fear..." (WOW! ANOTHER FLASHBACK!)

"Wow, I can't believe we finally got to go on this skiing trip!" exclaimed Kero Kato. "This has been great, except when we came across that one point that made everything stop and we could never get across. Feh, all that ice block pushing for nothing!"

"Golly gee, Kero," said a Maelstrom who had suddenly chosen to say the words "golly gee", "this his is awfully steep. Are you sure we should ski down it?"

"Don't worry," assured Kero, "I'm sure the nice jagged rocks down there will stop us if we get out of control, especially since their coated with a layer of ice that would make puncture a whole lot easier." (END FLASHBACK!)

"We stayed impaled on jagged rocks until someone came by to clear the snow off of a near by 'Danger' sign. It took five months just to regrow the skin we had lost," related Maelstrom. Vee was completely pale, which was unrelated to the freezing surroundings. No sound came from her. She only stood with her wide eyes and small triangular mouth open. "Alright, now!" cried Maelstrom. Jackdaw grabbed out a sack and quickly contained Vee. They dashed across the field as Kargo and the human struggled to contain Vee.

"Wow, Maelstrom," said Jackdaw, "what a lie you unraveled to get Vee stable enough to tie up."

"Uh, lie?" They dashed across the field. Finally, they found a marsh. In it laid bits of wall, some smoke stacks, and a few robotic parts. Reveling in the mire, they saw Zooky.

"Why would Zooky come here?" asked Kargo.

"Hey, this is the Suck Factory that Hay Cheng owned," realized Maelstrom.

"Oh, I get it now," Jackdaw explained. "The sugar rush made him go out of his mind, which was compounded on the fact that his mind was severely altered by the Mist Stone experience. Now losing all of his rational thought, he has gone on an insane rage fueled only by what few things he can remember."

"Jackdaw," asked Kargo, "when did you get smart?"

"I get smart when the elves tell me to be."

"Well, that explains that," stated Maelstrom, "but why is Zooky revisiting these areas? What could he possibly find in them?" Then, the Hypno's search stopped. His wild, bugged eyes rolled up into his head as he slowly pulled something from the swamp. In his hand, he held a small, glowing fragment of some wonderful crystal. He thrust his arm high above his head. From the gem radiated a gentle glow which descended over the baku's body.

"K-" Vee could barely find the words, "Kasumi Iwaku."

"The Mist Stone," whispered Maelstrom. Zooky's entire form grew and deformed under the eerie light.

"ZOOKY!"

Suddenly, the plot stopped, and Psybro appeared. "Not again!" said Maelstrom, as he pulled an axe out from nowhere.

"Wait!" screamed Psybro. "I'm not gonna explain how Charlie and I survived. We just did. I'm gonna have a character in this story whether you like it or not. It's obvious you don't want me around in human form, so I'll just leave a Pokémon behind." He threw a Pokéball, and a Hitmonlee appeared. "His name is Thumper. Don't kill him. I'm looking at you, Maelstrom. I'll come and get him back when the story ends. Right, I'm off before you try and kill me again." With that, he was gone as quickly as he appeared, and there now was a Fighting Type in the cast.

"How fourth wall breeching," stated Maelstrom. "Well, Thumper, since you're new, you don't have a character yet. I don't feel like waiting for you to develop some nutty feature, so we'll give you one out right. Whenever you touch water, you become a small, fluffy bunny."

"Hey, I don't like that," retorted Thumper.

"Quiet, you," said the water gunning Poliwhirl. At that, Thumper shriveled down into a bunny.

"Bring me back, now!" complained the Hitmonbunnee.

"Don't worry," reassured Maelstrom. "Whenever you eat a crouton, you become normal again." He tossed a bread crumb to the rodent, which soon restored to its original form.

"Fear not, Thumper," said Jackdaw, "for I have a crouton should you ever need it."

"Uh, yeah, you still do," covered up a shifty eyed Maelstrom.

The plot may now continue, as Zooky, or "Nappie" boomed loudly. He made an nasty sign with his finger and said, "Nappie's blood and Nappie's sweat, mix to form my evil pet!" With that, Zooky spit up an egg.

"An evil egg!" Thumper said dramatically as he tried to steal the show.

"At least he's not saying "Zooky" anymore!" sighed Maelstrom.

"Hi, Marusuturomu-san," VotM agreed as she fished around in her pockets for some food. Instead she came up with a Great Ball. "Ah!" she gasped as she held it in her hand.

"Hatch, damn you!" Zooky was having trouble getting his evil spawn to come out of the egg.

"You know, Zooky," Jackdaw began, "having a kid is a big responsibility. You have to feed it, take it to school, buy it stuff, get up at three in the morning to feed it, pay for college, teach it your hyper evil ways..." The list went on. Zooky listened in horror.

"Bye bye, eggy!" Zooky cried as he picked up the egg, which had begun to move a little, and hurled it at Jackdaw.

"Gasp! Egg of evil coming at me and so little time to move out of the way! Must stop talking and duck!" Jackdaw hit the dirt. The Egg whizzed over him and hit Maelstrom in his spiraled stomach.

"Ow!" groaned the frog.

"How could you be so careless with your own child?" Jackdaw put to Zooky. "Hmm, I thought Zooky was male? Are there some things that you haven't told us, Zooky, because you're embarrassed about them?" The egg was now rolling from the frog, who was clutching his chest in pain, to Jackdaw's feet. "Oo, egg!" He exclaimed Jackdaw as he pulled an egg beater and frying pan from no where. "Hey, Thumper, make yourself useful and crack this sucker for me?" The newbie obeyed, and, in a barrage of kicks around the egg's middle, it cracked. Jackdaw examined it.

"Wait just minute," he spoke upon his closer inspection. "This is a Cadsbury Chocolate Easter Egg! It doesn't even have a shell. This is foil!" Its contents distracted him. "Oo! Caramel!" He dunked his head inside and began swallowing deep gulps. Squishy peered inside.

"Jack, it is a egg, though. That's embryonic fluid you just drank," the jellyfish uneasily brought up.

"Eh, it's just as good." He resumed his quaffing of the egg while everyone else resumed their losing of lunches. "Eww, retching all over the ground, you peopled make me sick!" hypocritically said Jackdaw as he licked some egg stuffs from his face. He peered into the now almost entirely drained shell. "Hey, somethin' is in here!"

"Ha ha ha! NAPPIE!" cried the former Hypno. "The time has come," it screamed at the top of its lungs. "Rise, my beast! NAPPIE!" Its last cry seemed involuntary and awkward. The shell shattered in a small explosion, knocking Jackdaw and Squishy backwards. Slowly, a creature got to its feet and stood tall, dripping with a thick liquid.

"Iiii!" shrieked a very scared Human of the Mist. She lept into the arms of the closest person to her.

"Hey," Jackdaw said to himself, "this is alllright." Slowly bringing her eyes upward, as if she knew who she was embracing but didn't want it to be, she gazed at Jackdaw's head, still covered in the thick egg substance.

"Jakudaa-san ne? Iiii!" She let out a even louder shriek than before, and leapt the second nearest person to her.

"Aww," he moaned in disappointment as he saw her leap into the arms of Kargo, but she was too terrified to realize, or care, where she was, as long as it was away from Jackdaw. Squishy began a silent chuckle, and Jackdaw smacked him over the head. Zooky, or Nappie, which ever, was still laughing madly.

"Go, kill them, my servant. Face the wrath of HAY NAPPY!"

"Nooo! It's part Hay Cheng," lamented Maelstrom. "That's how it formed the egg; his suck energies must still be residual after I... uh... decimated him, and Zooky absorbed them."

"So he's not a hermaphrodite? Whew, good," Jackdaw stated, "because I can't stand freaks." Then he continued devouring his egg.

"Eh, this still isn't as good as that Psyduck." The new creature snarled wildly at the group, flailing its arcane limbs about in a feral manner. Zooky assumed the back ranks and let his new pet free.

"Bla bwa bla bwa ha ha," slurred the beast.

"That's it," a fed up Poliwhirl said. "Egg Baby wave bye bye." He turned to the Hitmonlee. "Thumper, we're gonna get as much use from you as possible."

"You got it!" agreed Thumper. He went to a nearby slot machine and pulled the lever. "Whoohoo! That's a lot of 'pows'!" He grabbed the fellow fighter and hoisted him into the air. Though he spun out of control, he kept his mind still, concentrating and summoning all of his powers. He raised his arms into the air and conjured the moisture to gather.

On the surface, Thumper was already beginning his assault. He assailed the new Nappy rapidly, then followed with a heavy somersault. The tadpole's attack had finally come to fruition. He hoisted down his aquatic orb. With a short leap, the Hitmonlee whirled around, gathering the ebbs around him. He let loose a massive kick followed by a strike that released a dolphin. He picked up the Nappy, now dazed from his beating, and slammed him into the earth. Now, to complete the assault, Thumper rose into the air. Maelstrom released the rest of his summoned river down to him.

"Final Heaven!" simultaneously said both. A large field of energy could be seen growing from the location for miles around. The Suck Nappy stood after the devastating blow, but then crumbled into ashes. Zooky, who was also caught in the blast, was now knocked out.

"Why did you have to use Water Kick?" asked Thumper. "Now I'm a bunny."

"Be quiet, you," said the tadpole, "it looks like we defeated Zooky, too." Then, a faint image appeared over Zooky.

"Who are you?" demanded Sunny.

"Mou mon't mecognize me?" said an unusually familiar voice.

"Not you again," lamented Maelstrom.

"Yes, 'tis I!" Mew announced. She descended to Zooky and touched him. A shimmering aura surround his body as he shrunk down to his normal form.

"What are you doing?" asked Jackdaw. "I'm slow, so I need filled in."

"I'm just after... this!" She held up a small glowing fragment.

"The Mist Stone?" asked Maelstrom.

"Yes, a force so powerful that the Hand of Fate could not even synthesize it," related Mew. "I set out for it before, hearing that a slew of Seafoam goers had secured it, but I soon found out the lie of that tale as well as many difficulties along the way.

"However," she went on, "you did at one time have a direct connection to the Mist Stone, and I discovered the perfect way to get it." She pointed a nubile to the out-cold Hypno. "This one still knew where the Mist Stone could have been, but he would never tell me, so I had him lead me... by causing his madness from giving him Vee's Crispy M&M's!"

"Oh, no you don't," threatened Jackdaw. "This is a Vaporeon Babble, and they can't have a plot, especially one that extends through three parts of the series." His eyes narrowed as he grabbed out Wrath's ball. "You're going down."

"Forget it! For I have the Mist Stone!" She held the crystal high. Mew giggled and began to absorb the Mist Stone's power.

"God, I need a carrot!" Thumper groaned.

"Moon mi mill me more mowerful mhen Lugia," Mew sneered. Zooky gave her the finger then ran off into the woods.

"Zooky's getting away!" Kargo cried. He pointed one blade at the running Zooky and dropped VotM.

"Chikushoo Kaago-san!" she howled. Mew was surrounded in the blue power of the Mist Stone. "Mes! Ma morer!" Mew cried and then shrieked, "Maaah!" Wrath stood behind the fallen Pokémon with needles were sticking out of its back.

"Boo-yah! It's a good thing I had my Beedrill come out," Jackdaw said. "Hmm," he pondered to himself, "is it me, or does it seem like this is all Wrath does? Appears behind some psychic Pokémon and pumps their back with spines?"

"I do a lot more than that, old chap," disagreed the bee in her English accent. "Once I ate scones and drank tea."

"Anything important?" he retaliated. She scratched her head.

"Come to think of it, no. I haven't."

"Well that's just great." Jackdaw sighed deeply. "You can go now, then."

"Cheerio." She vanished.

"Bai, bai, Supiaa," said VotM waving to where the bee use to be.

Mew now was beginning to stand up. The blue aura was still on its body.

"Mou mill mot mefeat me mo measily!" she screeched in her high pitched angry voice.

"That's it, I can't take it anymore," Jackdaw angrily said. He pulled out a lead pipe. None are aware of where he got it from. In a single swing to the Mew's head and a small rain of blood, Mew fell down again.

"There we go," he said while slapping his hands together. "Now to dispose of the evidence." He quickly pulled Psybro out of no where and pressed his hands on the pipe. Then, putting him back from whence he came, Jackdaw donned rubber gloves and tossed the pipe away. "And that's that," he smugly said.

"Ah! That was just wrong," Maelstrom said.

"What type of act was that?" queried the Kabutops.

"What?" he griped as if he hadn't done anything wrong. "What did I do now?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just cold blooded murder!" Poppy yelled the last sentence especially loud.

"Who let you out?" he asked the Vileplume, getting tired of his monsters spontaneously appearing.

"Uhh... You did?" Poppy tried to fake. Looking behind his master, he froze. His facial expressions locked in a open mouthed, gape jawed position. As others looked to the same point, their faces did the same.

"What? What are you guys looking at?" questioned Jackdaw, being the only one who was not looking since he was preparing a body bag. Finally, he, too, turned and gasped.

"No! It's... it's..." he struggled to get the words out of his mouth. "A Soft Serve Machine? What's this doing here? I haven't seen one of these forever. This takes me back..." He drifted off into a flashback dream state...

"Hmm, 'Warning: Dangerous! High Voltage.' I wonder what happens if I were to stick my tongue in it?"

"Come to think of it, I don't know why it reminded me of that, or why I don't remember what happened after that?" Poppy tapped his shoulder and aimed his view slightly more to the left. He now knew what the others were gazing upon. They were looking at Mew, or, rather, what once was Mew.

"It can't be!" cried Jackdaw. "He's become a giant fluffy teddy bear!"

"What are you talking about, Jackdaw," said Kargo. "That's not what it is at all. It's a ghost."

"I think it would be much better if it were a fluffy teddy bear though."

"Jack, that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard," stated Kargo.

"I don't know about that," said a reminiscing Maelstrom, rubbing his non-existent chin in reflection. (FLASHBACK!)

"Mmmm, burrito," drooled a hungry Kero Kato as he approached the microwave. "Two minutes?" he exclaimed. "Screw that!" Maelstrom walking into the kitchen, then stopped and closed his eyes, hoping that in not seeing it, the problem would go away, but it wouldn't.

"I know this probably isn't much better than what you actually are doing, Kero," said the Poliwhirl, "but are you eating that microwave?"

"Of course not," responded the human. "I'm just cooking it on the stove so that my burrito inside will get done faster."

"Now that's just idiotic."

"No," corrected Kero as a small flame leapt from the microwave, "buying a rooster because a shady fellow said it could lay golden eggs is idiotic." Just then, crowing could be heard coming from the other room.

"Rooster's can't lay eggs. They're male," coughed Maelstrom.

"Well, it's laying something." (END FLASHBACK!)

"That's scary," winced Sunny.

"Naw, that's nothing," Maelstrom told. "Once we had to dress up like women to sneak inside of a pimp's mansion."

"No you didn't," retorted Jackdaw. "You just took that from a video game."

"I played the video game, did I not?"

"Mey, m'cary mhost mover mere," shrilly spoke the Mew with a Gengar at its side.

"That's it!" yelled an angry tadpole. "Whatsthemaddawithyou Glove Slap!" He ripped off his glove and with a mighty whirl, he struck Mew across the face. "Talk normal!"

"No, forever shall I- ahh!" she shrieked. "My voice! I can't talk stupidly anymore."

"Behold the power of the Whatsthemaddawithyou Glove Slap!" announced Maelstrom, holding high his glove in the sky.

"Yatta!" squealed Vee.

"That's it, you're next," threatened Maelstrom as he slapped Vee across the face.

"Mow, mhat mid mou mo mhat mor?" babbled VotM.

"Not you too," he said while sending another glove strike upon her.

"Ow! Stop that, you stupid Poliwhirl. Hey, I'm back to normal! Ow! Stop slapping me!"

"I heard another 'm' in there," stated Maelstrom while pulling back his arm for another slap. Vee lept upon him and beat him into a pulp as the others stood by and watched.

"My money's going on Vee," whispered Sunny to Jackdaw.

"Uh, okay, I like my odds on Maelstrom," said an unusually smiling Jackdaw. He pulled out his lead pipe and advanced to VotM.

"Hey, that's not fair!"

"Please," raspberried Jackdaw. "They say the same about lead pipe beatings for all sports, social gatherings, and political debates. For once let me have my lead pipe to beat freely!"

"Fools, just as always," thundered a familiar deep voice. The group stopped their current actions as they turned to Mew and the ghost. It shrunk its vapors and reformed to it's true shape.

"We killed you," said Vee.

"Wrath stabbed you in the back," stated Maelstrom, now a bloody mess.

"I wonder where I could find a hot dog guy around here?" said, of course, Jackdaw.

"Mr. Cheap," whispered Kargo. There, next to his mother, stood Mewtwo.

"With this Mist Stone, I have unimaginable power! With my son back from the grave, only we shall be victorious!" With that, they disappeared in a blink.

"What were they talking about?" asked Vee.

"I don't know, but with all this business involving the Mist Stone, I say we should find Zooky," said the puddle Poliwhirl, which could only be recognized by his voice. "Now, if someone would be so kind, get a shovel."

"Woo hoo! I don't have to speak Japanese any more!" rejoiced the cured woman much delayed. "Now if only I could become a Vaporeon again," VotM sighed. Then, she spotted the piper inching towards her wiht his weapon of choice. "You were going to hit me with a lead pipe! What are you? A mass murderer?" She demanded.

"No, no... no," Jackdaw said innocently as he shifted his eyes back and forth. "Mass murderer need to reach a certain body count. Some day, maybe. Some day..."

Suddenly, "WAR NAPPIEMON!" Cried a voice coming through the bush. It was Zooky/Nappie, but so different...

"Oh my goddish!" shouted Kargo. "He's become a... a..." Sunny stuttered, not able to say the feared words.

"Don't look Sunny!" Jackdaw said as he scooped up the small fluff ball and covered her eyes. Sunny fell asleep in his arms at the change of light.

"He's become a Digimon!" VotM cried as she fell to her knee's in shock.

"This is Kami's work," Thumper said as he twitched his cute little bunny nose.

"Stop acting so smart!" Maelstrom told bunny boy.

"Mist Stone Nova Pepper Blast!" War Nappiemon cried as he hacked up a blast of energy and sent it toward the group.

"Hang on!" yelled Clancy. "I came into the the story and did nothing. I'll sort that out!" He Ice Beamed the big old Pepper Blast thing, freezing it in its tracks. "Now, have I proved I'm not gay?!?" cried Clancy.

"No one said you were gay" pointed out VotM.

"But you were all thinking it!" sobbed Clancy, running out of the room.

"You'll have to forgive him," said Thumper as he searched for another crouton. "He has problems." Meanwhile, War Nappiemon prepared another attack, aiming it right for VotM.

"Nova Boom Xexy Blast Times 100K!" War Nappiemon narrated. He let loose the blast at VotM.

"Oh man! If I was a Vaporeon again I could freeze that thing with my Ice Beam!" whined VotM.

"I thought you were too afraid of snow to use that attack?" Jackdaw questioned, still holding the snoozing Sunny.

"I'll save you, my love!" Kargo cried as he leapt in front of VotM.

"Eh. Knock your self out" VotM haphazardly told him.

"Hydro Pump!" cried out the fossil. Jets of water mysteriously formed at his sides and were fired at the on coming fiery blast. The two forces collided, initiating a large explosion of steam. Still, the blast streamed from War Nappiemon's hands as the water continued to pour. Slowly, the blast advanced on the Kabutops. "It's too strong," he grunted. "What power this monster possesses." The spout of water was then strengthened as Squishy aided his efforts. Now twice as powerful, the two forces were at a stale mate, neither moving from its position.

"Maelstrom," called out HotM from atop of the bruised and battered frog, "quickly, help them with that!" The Poliwhirl let out some string of words that made no sense as he lapsed in and out of conciousness.

"Dags nabbit!" exclaimed a furious Jackdaw, "Squishy needs help." He lifted his pipe over his shoulder, holding it in both hands. The perfect swinging position.

"Jackdaw!" yelled Vee. "That pipe won't hurt him!" He glanced at his weapon.

"You're right, Vee," he admitted as he withdrew his pipe. Then, he pulled out a much bigger pipe, over four fold the size of the last one. "Here we go," he evilly said with a daemonic smile.

"Jack," Vee flatly spoke. "Just use a Pokémon."

"Aww, they get all the fun," he said while squatting, staring at the ground, running his finger in a circular motion in the dirt. "Poppy!" he commanded, "Solar Beam it!" He turned to the Hitbunnylee and picked it up. "You, too, Thumper," he yelled as he tossed the bunny at War Nappiemon.

"Hey, no, wait!" the bunny let out in a single sentence. "Aaah!" The spiraled to the being once Zooky.

"Hyper Cute Fluff Bunny Blow!" cried the speeding Thumper. It dashed through War Nappiemon, causing him to lose his balance.

"Solar Beam!" screamed a derranged Poppy who had finished gathering his powers. A brilliant beam shimmered forth, enveloping the Digimon in its mass. As the solar flare died down, they all waited to see the out come. Zooky still stood.

"How can this be?" asked Vee to no one in particular. "He's a loser Digimon." Maelstrom popped from the ground as though with a rejuvination. He pounded VotM across her cute little face which was lost to the cruel tadpole.

"What are you saying? Digimon are better than us!" stated Maelstrom.

"What are you talking about?" asked Kargo. "They're rip-offs!" Maelstrom lept to Kargo, hoisted himself around his back, and bent his arms into submission, cracking his joints.

"What are you idiots talking about?" Jackdaw questioned.

"Look, guys," Maelstrom spoke, "Jackdaw is calling you idiots, and he has the right to do so, too. Digimon came out a good two or three years before Pokémon did. Digimon was the creator of creatures that were trained and evolved onto higher states. We cannot hope to destroy something that has precident over us."

"Aw, this speech is taking a while," murmured the easily distracted Jackdaw. "Back to the egg." He looked into his Zooky egg. "Empty? This sucks! I want an egg." His eyes slowly shifted over to Clancy. "Why, hello, my little egg."

"Ah! You can't eat me!" fearfully shrieked Clancy the Chansey.

"That's what they said about that twelve foot hoagie, but man did I prove them wrong." At that, Jackdaw whipped out his egg beater. "Now, it's omelet time!" He began to chase after the fat pink puff whose legs were too stumpy to keep ahead.

"Digimon actually had a movie out before Pokémon was invented back in 1995," continued to lecture Maelstrom. "After them, there was a wave of battling-evolving-training games. So, you see, they are actually better than us since we ripped-off of them."

"That's right," said the yellow spikey headed Cloud Strife.

"Hey, where did you come from?" asked Kargo.

"Kero is getting lazy trying to disguise a Final Fantasy reference in everyone of his posts in VB4 Beta," Cloud responded.

"That's okay, Cloud," Maelstrom comforted with a pat on the back. "You tried your best."

"You could use that Buster of yours to help me get this Chansey open," offered Jackdaw, who was standing on top of Clancey, keeping him down with his feet.

"Thank you," sniffed Cloud. He took out his butcher's blade and merrily set off.

"Then, how do we destroy him?" asked HotM.

"We must defeat him with one of his own." Saying that, the Poliwhirl pulled out a key chain with a small green device attached to it. He squinted at the device and pressed some buttons until a steady beeping rhythm came from out. "I'm going in!" He lept high into the air and stuck the device into War Nappiemon's back. "Confirm! Confirm!" ordered the tadpole. "Yes! Ready!" He jumped off of the Digimon's back and looked onto the screen. The group gathered behind him to watch the monochrome screen, except Jackdaw and Cloud, who were busy thinking of what to do with all of their fried Chansey.

"Whooo! Double Fire Ball! We won!" Vee looked up, but War Nappiemon still stood. "No," said Maelstrom. "We have to defeat him like, ten or so times until he dies. It really depends on his age."

"Screw that," said the fuzzy Hitbunnee. It lept at War Nappiemon, only to be swatted away.

"That was useless," stated Vee. "Oh, well, I may not be able to attack, but I can still-"

"No! Not that!" interjected Jackdaw.

"Yes, that!" responded Vee. "... Do you even know what 'that' is?"

"Um... no, but I can pretend to." Shrugging off the ignorance, she continued her chant.

"Articuno, hear my cry!"

"Be careful, Vee," admonished Maelstrom. "Last time you tried this, Hay Cheng came by and made a whole lot o' suck."

"The prayer has already been cast," said Vee. "We don't know what could happen next. Hopefully, it won't suck."

"Wow, this is suspenseful," said Cloud. "Pass the flipper."

"But you got the other flipper," complained Jackdaw. Cloud looked to the idiot with his cold, strange blue eyes and slowly reached to his blade. "Oh, right," he gave up.

The heavens opened up. snow like dimonds fell slowly like cherry blossems.

"God of Freeze is coming!" Vee cheered. A shaft of blue light shined apon her. What followed was more... thing.

"Pppsssyyy!!!" shrieked a voice, faint at first but growing louder as it fell from the sky.

"Whaaa?" HotM looked up only to get bonked in the face by a Psyduck. "Ow!"

"Psy?" The Psyduck bounced off her head and landed on the ground.

"Aw, god damn!" VotM yelled as she yanked at her hair. "I used the wrong accent!" The Psyduck make the victory sign with its small fingers and charged at War Nappiemon.

"Super Suck Psycho Nova Blast!" War Nappiemon roared as he cupped his hands together to gather energy. You can guess what happend next.

"Ooo! Uh, Vee?" Jackdaw asked. "Go ahead" she told him. Jackdaw tied an bib with a lobster on it around his neck and headed to the Psyduck ashes. War Nappiemon began to do the Victory Dance.

"Don't do that just yet!" HotM told Zooky. She took another deep breath, "Articuno, hear my cry!" The clouds opened up.

"Whahaha!" Mew floated down from the sky.

"What? You're dead!" said Jackdaw who looked up from eating the remains of the new Psyduck roast.

"Well, I used the Mist Stone to come back to life, duh. As long as I hold it, I will live again."

"Well, I'll put a stop to that." Jackdaw got out his pipe. Then Mew raised her hand, and the pipe hit Jackdaw on the head.

"Well, what if we take it off you then?" asked HotM.

"Then I'll still have the Mist Stone's energy flowing around me for another hour or so, and I'll get it back within an hour. Guarenteed like matress delivery."

"Hey, should we be listening?" asked Maelstrom.

"Yes! Yes, listen! Please, do that," shouted Clancy trying to get them to back off. Cloud, who was just about to slice the butchered egger in half, put his sword away.

"Well, okay then. We can have egg for dinner," decided Cloud walking over to where Vee was.

"Fine" sighed Maelstrom dissapointed.

"Well, now I will, um... Well, yeah, what do I need to do?" Mew hovered thinking to herself. Just then, an Abra named Shazam teleported in front of Mew.

"Hehehehe, stone is shiny. Me like shiny, hehehe." Then Shazam snatched the stone out of Mew's hand. He was wearing gloves. As she didn't really notice he was there as she was thinking, he teleported away in the same manner.

"Argh, the Stone!!!" screamed Mew. Meanwhile, not too far away, Shazam was playing catch with a Squirtle.

"Hehe, shiny," chuckled Shazam.

"Hehehe, shiny. Very shiny," agreed the Squirtle.

"Hey, Cloud, look," Jackdaw pointed out. "There's another Clancey here!" He put down his scrambled Lucky. "Well, we can't just have a perfectly tasty Pokémon walking around uneaten."

"What? But I thought we ate it?" a bewildered Cloud faked, having full memory of nearly splicing it previously. He unshefted his blade.

"Go, you nutty Buster sword," Jackdaw cheered Cloud on. "Climhazard that hermaphroditic freak!" Cloud charged to the mysterious new Chansey, or what ever it would be if it was male/gay, and drove his blade deep into its egg pouch. Blood trickled down out its mouth. Cloud then crouched down as low as he could, the best position for putting the blade above him. In a mighty leap, he brought the blade up, cleaving the Egg Pokémon in two equal halves.

"Mmm," Jackdaw said while tying a napkin around his neck. "Deviled eggs!"

"Wow, Jackdaw. You'd think with all of that Pokémon meat you devour, you'd gain some weight," spoke Vee as she gazed upon Jackdaw's twig-like body. "I mean, just in the last ten minutes, if that, you ate a Psyduck and two Chansey... things, plus some stuff we're probably not aware of." She suspeciously eyed him.

"I guess I just have a high metabolism," he cooly said.

"You don't even know what metabolism is!" Squishy couldn't hold back his laughter from the Vileplume's insult.

"Didn't I tell you two to shut up!" he angrily yelled at them. "And get back in your balls! Now, if you'd excuse me..." He walked away out of sight.

"Um, where were we, now," War Nappiemon, or WNM for short since us writers are getting lazy, tried to remember. "Oh, yes, I was-"

"BLAAA! BBBLL, BLLL, BBBBBLLLLAAAAA! AACCCK! KAAAAA, KAAAA, BRRRAAAAA!" These disturbing sounds came from off in the distance.

"... um, anyways. As I was sayin-"

"BBBLAAAAA, ACCCK, ACK, ACK, BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" They stood in silence.

"Um, like I was sayi-"

"BBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" They stood again in silence for a short while.

"Um-"

"AACK!" Now WNM was just getting annoyed. "Oh, it's even better going up," rang a distant voice. They stood there in silence, this time longer than before.

"Okay," WNM began to talk very fast, so that no one would interupt him. "I was going to-"

"Wait," cried out Jackdaw. "Okay, I'm back. You can continue the story." The napkin what was around his neck was now being used to whip his mouth. "Oh! More Chansey!" he began to scarf it down with both hands.

"Uh, Jackdaw..." Vee began.

"Yeah," was somewhat heard through his stuffed mouth.

"... Never mind."

"May I go on?!" yelled an enraged War Nappiemon. "This is something I must do, Vee," WNM explained. "I may let nothing stand in my way, and that includes you." He struck a battle pose.

"Wait!" Maelstrom said to the group. "I almost forgot!" He turned to Vee and whispered to her, "Kero gave me something before I left. It escaped me until just recently." He went searching for where he had put it. "It's funny, too, because Kero told me not to eat it. I mean, it wasn't even food. Who would be that stupid?" He search found nothing.

"Hey, where'd it go?"

"I dunno," lied a puffy cheeked Jackdaw.

"Give me that," ordered Maelstrom as he plucked the object from Jackdaw's mouth. Then, he extended his amphibious arm, and with a twitch of his hand, summoned up an orb of water. He placed Kero's gift inside and yelled to WNM. "Hey, Tubby! Heads up!" He thrust the ball forward. War Nappiemon easily evaded the sloppy throw.

"That was pathetic," mocked WNM. "I didn't even need to dodge that lame miss of yours."

"Was it?" fakely asked the tadpole. WNM looked to him with confusion. Suddenly, it got darked. A shadow of a monolith slowly grew over WNM. He could see something behind him growing higher. The black had already encompassed Zooky and now stretched closer to Maelstrom, who was ten yards away. The long, slender shadow kept steadfast in its standing. Slowly, Zooky turned his head upward. Immediately above him, his gaze met with a thick rocky skin. Two malign and evil eyes gazed back to WNM. A slow growl came from out the massive snake. It reared its neck a slight, then blasted the former Zooky with a sonic screech that not only began to strip him of his armor, but also cleared away the swamp water on which WNM stood with some mud along with it. Zooky fell to his knee underneath the rock snake's scream. It continued with its barrage of sound, pushing the mire further and further from the Digimon. Finally, the Onix rest its screech and slowly pulled away. Maelstrom lept to the snake's midsection and spun up the behemoth until he twirled and landed atop its huge head.

"Heya, Gigas," greeted Maelstrom. "Long time no see."

"The lassst time we sssaw each other," hissed Gigas, "wasss when Kero tried to put up that antenna..."

"Alright, guys," told Kero Kato, "we need this antenna up by seven-thirty tonight. Now, if I know anything-"

"And you don't," interjected Maelstrom.

"-we need to all take safety precautions since we're working on the roof," continued Kero. "Now, to ensure that we don't fall, I have tied a rope around us all."

"What are we attached to?" asked Maelstrom.

"Each other," answered Kero.

"But, then, if one of us falls, all of us do?"

"I don't even know why I'm up here," stated Gigas. "I can reach to roof from the ground, and my weight isssn't doing any good to thisss roof."

"Oh, no. Don't use the 'my weight will destroy the house' excuse," scolded Kero. "Now Maelstrom, if you think that we'll all fall, I'll just increase the amount of rope in between us."

"Wait a minute, that won't do anything," told Gigas. "Now we all have a chanssse of falling to the ground without any protection."

"Of course we'll be safe," said Kero. "We're attached by rope, remember. Watch." The human plunged off the house. "Ow, the ground hurts."

"Kero, I don't think it worksss," hissed Gigas.

"I know that already," said the flat Kero. "I'm not an idiot. Ooo! Someone dropped a purple M&M!"

"M&M's don't come in purple," curiously said Maelstrom.

"Uh-oh."

"You still remember that, Gigas?" inquired Maelstrom. "I've blocked that out of my memory!"

"You know I try," replied the Onix.

"Now, Zooky," demanded Maelstrom, "tell us what you are up to."

"Never," whimpered Zooky, still exhausted from the sonic onslaught of Gigas.

"You leave us no choice then," stated the tadpole. "Plus, I just want to do this." Gigas reared on the end of his tail. Narrowing his eyes, he plunged straight into the marsh and forced his way down, kicking up bits of dirt and stone. As his tail dissappeared from vision, all stood in the still silence. Then, the Onix's head reappeared in the mire. Maelstrom still rode atop him, braving away the filth of the swamp. Trudgingly, they rose from the earth, struggling through. The land around them seemed to rise with the snake. In the end, a great boost allowed the rocks snake to carry out a mountain like portion of rock. Now high in the air with his tail binding this mountainous chunk, he still struggled. The stone rumbled, and the Onix pulled on it.

"Roku Suraido!" the behemoth cried. With all of its strength, it seperated the mountain from the ground and threw it up into the sky. It sped away into the night. The two then departed with all speed, only halting to turn to the others shortly.

"What are you doing?" queried Maelstrom. "Run! Get on!" Vee, Jackdaw, Sunny, Thumper, and Kargo lept onto Gigas as he slithered away. Zooky stood in his personal blasted away enbankment, wondering what was going on. About two kilometers away, Gigas stopped to catch his breath. Maelstrom looked up. Vee, too, gazed into the night sky.

"Oh, look," she pointed out, "a shooting star. How about we all make a wish?"

"That's no shooting star," corrected the tadpole, "and we should all just wish that this is far enough away.

The boulders thrust into Gimel by Gigas now thundered down to Zooky. They crashed hard into the land and WNM, sending a ring of fire throughout the swamp, igniting all of the gases. When the remaining fragments of mountain arrived, they brutalized Gaia. With such force did the boulders land the waves of the impact spread throughout. A storm of rocks terrorized the surface like bits of pebbles on waters surface. Their ebbs radiated far.

From the distance, Vee and the others watched the destruction. The ripples of force finally reached them. Mighty gusts swayed the grass, sending clouds of blinding dust throughout the area, and uprooted trees. Few of the group could remain standing; only those that managed to clasp onto Gigas stood.

"So, you decided to go with the small one?" asked Maelstrom.

"I like to switch it up once in a while."

Arriving back on the scene, awfully fast, every one watched as Zooky, back to his origanal Pokémon self, pulled his hurt body from the marsh and began to hobble off.

"I know! I'll use the Great ball I found in my pocket to catch him and take him to a rehab center!" HotM narrated as she reached into her jeans pocket for the ball. She came up with nothing. "Rrrr! Where's that damn thing?!" she yelled.

"Ack ah na hoia," Jackdaw coughed with one of his cheeks bulging with a round object. Zooky was long gone by then.

"Hellfire! I'm sick of being helpless and just standing here going 'Eeeek!' I want to be able to fight back!" she said. With that, Vee pulled her shell phone out of no where and dialed up a number. Every one strained to hear what she quickly mumbled into the phone. She hung up and looked up at the sky. Every one did the same. With a sudden screech, Stone Soul the Aerodactyl zoomed down and dropped a box at Vee's feet. Then he flapped back toward the sky and was gone.

"Whats in the box? Candy?" Jackdaw asked hopefully.

"Large firearms?" Maelstrom asked as he rubbed his hands together.

"For the love of God, a crouton?" Thumper asked. HotM didn't answer. She opened the box and pulled out a belt with 6 differently colored Pokéballs on it.

"Why would a Pokémon have Pokémon for battle?" Kargo asked.

"These are the Victory Fire 6! They're Pokémon who lived on Lone Lapras Island. They loved to fight sooo much that they agreed to stay in Pokéballs in case that darn Kami decided to mess around with me, so they could be my warriors in time of great need when I could not defend my self." Saying that, she took a large breath before nearly callsaping on the ground...

"And now... um..." Jackdaw's voice fell silent.

"And now... what?" Maelstrom said confused.

"I don't know."

"That's nice," the tadpole replied as his eyes rolled back. They stood in silence a bit longer.

"Wasn't Mew here a little bit ago?" Jackdaw finally got out.

"I think she was..." The Poliwhirl was not too sure of his words.

"I'm hungry," Squishy blantently spoke out. "Anyone else want a taco?"

"Woohoo! Taco!" Jackdaw finished his happy jig and turned to the nearest Taco Bell, but when he turned around, he faced Dewdrop the Wartortle.

"What are you doing here?" HotM demanded. "I'm here to make a funny wise crack." Every one stared.

"Hey!" Dewdrop cried as he spotted Thumper. "You remind me of my poor friend Manny the Charmander." He let out a tearful sob.

"Didn't he die when he shaved his Goldfish with an elecric shaver in the fish tank?" Kargo asked.

"What? Noooo! He died of a broken heart..." (Flash Back!)

Inside a room at a Pokécenter, everything is black and white. A Charmander is laying in a bed. A Squirtle, Pikachu and Poliwhirl were standing next to the bed. Nurse Joy was standing aside, watching the drama.

"You can't die Mr. Presadent! The starving Machops in Asia need you!" sobbed the Poliwhirl as he pounded on the bed.

"Pika!" squeaked the Pikachu in a cheery mood.

"Ro... rose... bud..." Gasped Manny.

"Nooooo!" Cried Dewdrop as the camera panned to an above view of the room. (End flash back)

"And then Maelstrom stole the urn we were going to put Manny's ashes in," sobbed Dewdrop.

"Heeeyyy, waitaminute! I wasn't there! And what starving Machops?" Maelstrom demanded.

"Yes, you were! You were engaged to Manny!" Dewdrop cried. HotM snatched Dewdrop by his poofy tail and shook him around for a while.

"For the love of the Three Mythical Birds! Manny died from a weak heart at birth and we buried him on the top floor of the Pokémon Tower!" she told the blur that was Dewdrop. She dropped him on the ground.

Dewdrop came to and said, "Whoa, I just had the strangest dream! And you were there." He pointed to Maelstrom. "And you." He pointed to a wild Pikachu who was stealing what was left of the cooked male Chansey.

"Cha!" it squeaked.

"And you!" He pointed to a man dressed as Nurse Joy.

"The whole world will be diffrent soon! Do you have the brain of KFC?" the crazy nurse asked then ran back into the bog.

"And you!" he cried pointing at the Orange Hunter who was hovering above Maelstrom.

"Hey! It's the ghost of Manny!" Jackdaw exclaimed. He pulled a jar out of his jacket and scooped up the ghost. "When I shake it really hard and hold it up to the light, I can see the freaky thing!" Jackdaw said as he shook the jar twenty times. Suddenly, it slipped out of his hands and smashed open on a rock. The Orange Hunter flowed up and roared. "You dare capture the soul of he who died at birth? Then suffer my curse!" With that, Jackdaw was transformed into a Vaporeon with a tiny jacket and tiny Pokéballs around his waist. "Bwahahaha!" laughed Manny who then disappeared.

"Oh, karp!" swored Jackdaw.

"Damn! Why didn't I shake up that jar?" VotM groaned.

"Might as well keep looking for Zooky." Kargo sugested.

"Oh, Lady Fate," Jackporeon cried out, "Why do you taunt me so!"

"Hey, it's not so bad being a Vaporeon," HotM said under her breathe.

"This sucks," Jackdaw was still complaining, "I don't even like Vaporeons!"

"Hey!" This time, Vee's rebuttal was heard.

"What can a Vaporeon even do?" Jackdaw tried using some attacks. Just then, Cinder came out.

"Hey guys, I recovered from my beatings- aah!" He got hit by a huge stream of water.

"Okay, that's Hydropump. Note to self: Do not use that," He said to himself as he looked at the half dead Cinder.

"Cinder!" cried HotM. She ran over the the steaming wad of fur. "Oh, are you alright, honey?"

"'Honey'?" questioned Cinder. "Last you saw me, you beat me to a pulp."

"Oh yeah," recalled Vee. She then raised her fists in anger and pummeled the Flareon even more so. "Die! Die! Die!"

"Ow," whined Cinder, who's blood blended into his fur too well to give away just how much pain he was in. "Jackdaw, make her stop."

"Don't worry, Cinder," told Jackdaw, "I'm coming to save you, and I shall let nothing stand in my way. Hey, look at me tail!" He began to giggle, "It's so funny looking! Teeheeheehee!"

"Uh, aren't we sssupposed to be finding Zooky, guysss?" asked Gigas.

"Don't worry about that," said Maelstrom. "Around here, we don't do much of anything that has to do with a consistent plot."

"Oh, great!" exclaimed the Onix. "It'sss jussst like one of Kero'sss Miniature Barbacue Pool Partiesss, right?"

"Hmmm, there may be a few less venomous snake-filled pinatas here," answered the Poliwhirl, "but don't worry about that! Just sit back and enjoy the mindless babble." The tadpole reclined on the ground and stretched his arms far into the air before resting his head on them. He tilted back his head and saw Zooky stumbling from the forest.

"Ah," said Zooky, "so that's were I left my danish." He stooped to the ground to pick it up, and then realized that the group was standing there.

"Stupid Zooky!" screamed Maelstrom. "We were getting away with doing nothing and then you came along. Now you must pay," threatened the tadpole while narrowing his eyes. He lept to the Hypno and crashed on him, forcing him to the mud below. He restrained his arms and twisted them so that he could not escape the hold. "Don't worry guys," related Maelstrom. "I've got his danish."

"Maelstrom, we can ask him what this is all about while you have him pinned to the ground," stated Vee.

"You can have it your way, and I can have this danish," Maelstrom negotiated.

"Zooky, tell me what is this all about," demanded Vee.

"Fine, I shall tell you," acquiesced the Hypno. "You put your left leg in, you put your left leg out, you put your left leg in, and then you shake it all about-" He was cut short by a slap from Maelstrom.

"Be serious," ordered the Poliwhirl with crumbs falling out of his mouth.

"Aww, but I liked it," said Jackdaw.

"You also liked that enchilada that you found in the dumpster behind the Taco Bell," reminded Cinder from the puddle of his own blood.

"Yeah, I stopped eating it because it told me to," said Jackdaw.

"Riiiiggghhhhhttt," spoke the Hypno. "Well, I can tell you, but you must promise to stay out of this." He cleared his throat. "Some time ago, a team of scientist created Mewtwo, the strongest and cheapest Pokémon ever. Now, before he came along, all Psychics were the most powerful of the Pokémon. They didn't war about this; they just felt themselves equal, except for Mr. Mime, who was just plain screwed.

"With the creation of Mewtwo, not only were all other Pokémon outshined, but, more importantly, we, the Psychics, the former strongest, were now inferiorated. All Psychics envied and hated this new creature and yearned to usurp him. Word spread of a Mist Stone that could make a Pokémon have powers equivelent to a demigod. We had done nothing before for the quest seemed to difficult, but now nothing would lead us from our goal. We needed the Mist Stone to overpower Mewtwo. Only Mew, his mother, stood by his side, and ventured, too, for the Stone, not only to stop the others from obtaining divine powers but also to make themselves stronger.

"We knew that there may have been consequences to using the Stone's powers, but we didn't care. An obsession drove us to the Mist Stone, and its powers enveloped us in madness." Upon finishing his tale, he looked up, somewhat shamed by what he had just told. "Remember, you promised not to interfere with this."

"No we didn't," simply stated Maelstrom.

"Uh, yes you did. I told you to promise not to interfere."

"Yes, but we never promised to."

"Alright, let's go stop Mew and her used-by-cowards spawn!" exclaimed Vee as they marched off into the distance.

"Wait, we don't know where they are," interrupted Sunny.

"Oh right," realized Vee. The group halted their march and sat down. "How do we find Mew and Mewtwo."

"Maybe we could draw them here," suggested Thumper.

"And how exactly could we do that?" asked Kargo.

"We can put a big pie underneath a box with a stick and string on it!" interjected Jackdaw. "That will have to work."

"Ooo! I got it!" rushed in Thumper. "Hey," he said loudly, "I'm a weak little boy, and I can't fight, 'cause I suck, and I'm such a wuss, and I have no strategy whatsoever, and a blindfolded monkey could beat me if it had a Game Boy." They waited, but nothing happened. "Hmm, those are usually exactly the kinds of situations that bring about a Mewtwo."

"Well, if we made a giant pastry, our problems would be solved," finally said Jackdaw.

"All in favor of beating Jackdaw?" asked Vee.

"Aye!" agreed the party, most of whom were already beginning to assult him.

"Oh... Jackdaw, um, you're stupid," stated Maelstrom.

"Uh, yes," agreed he. "Hey, did you just, er, steal that wad of bills I had in my hand?"

"That's it!" the frustrated Poliwhirl yelled. "The writers are just getting lazy now." Then, they all stopped.

In the silence, they heard something that no word could ever perpetrate. It was more clear than any signal ever had been. The warning seemed to permiate the air, and chill straight down their spines, turning the party pale.

"It is not the writers who suck," whispered HotM. "'tis the master who sucks..."

"Does that mean Hay Cheng, guys?" obnoxiously asked Jackdaw.

"Well, thank you for spoiling that," stated the Poliwhirl. A suck phantom hovered before them.

"IsuckIsuckIsuck!" the apparation wailed.

"Quick! We need something that doesn't suck to counteract it." At that the tadpole ran off. He first approached Psybro. "No." Then, he ran to a television and turned it to the WB. "No." He dashed off to a computer and went to the AH message board, and opened the Karp Park to read VB 4. "No." He finally gave up, and returned to the group. "Sorry guys, but everthing sucks!"

"Then we'll have to counteract suck with suck!" cried HotM. "Kargo! Go!"

"Hey, that hurt."

"I meant use your Absorb on him."

"Oh, okay," said Kargo.

"Idiot," muttered Vee.

"What was that?" inquired Kargo.

"Er, I said, 'bidiot'," lied Vee. "That's what I call an idiot on eBay... which I was thinking about for no particular reason." HotM pulled out a Tan Pokéball. "Finally a chance to show off my best Pokémon, er, I mean let loose the Victory Fire 6 upon the suck lord!" cried VotM. "Boyd, go!" she chucked to ball into the air and out came a Dodrio.

"Choyp! Choyp!" Boyd said in a New Jersey accent.

"You too, wet boy!" Vee picked up Jackporeon and put him on Boyd's back.

"Hey! Pony ride!" he cheered.

"Wha's wit' dis? I gatta blue rat fish on m' back!" Boyd outpoured as she twisted one head to look at Jackeon.

"Go and Drill Peck that suck god till he can't suck no more!" VotM cried.

"Choyp!" Boyd ran to the suck ghost with Jackdaw on her back.

Two minutes later...

"Awww, I knew this wouldn't work," Maelstrom revealed as he looked as the tangled pile of Boyd on the ground. Jackdaw was no where in sight.

"Then let's see you do somthing about this Sucklord, Mr. Frog!" HotM challenged in a pouty mood.

"With joy I shall!" Maelstrom rebutted. Steadily, the frog braved the specter. He approached it slowly, resisting the waves of forceful suck that it spewed forth, pushing back all things. There he stood for sometime, studying the suck daemon. He extended his arm out and twitched his glove. Mists in the air began to gather at his palm, hovering above his hand in an incrementing sphere.

"I got this covered guys," told Maelstrom. "I'd run to a safe location so that you don't get caught up in this for once." Vee looked at him shocked.

"I can't believe you are actually saying that," said she. "Usually we always get caught in the tides."

"If you get caught in the tides this time," laughed the Poliwhirl, "I can assure you that you won't walk away." Now HotM grew even more surprised.

"You're really serious about this, aren't you?" she asked. His only response was a look with dead eyes. They seemed to have sunk into his head, void of any life or motion or soul. His posture began to slip, supported only on the orb to which he held. A flash emitted from his eyes, and then stayed that energy, burning bright and steady.

"Run," stated Gigas. "I remember that look in his eyes."

"Why?" asked Kargo. "What does it mean?" The snake turned to the group and urged them away.

"I've seen his full-force Hydro Pump once before, and it wasn't pretty..."

"Aw," complained Kero, "this can of beans won't open, and I want them now." His loyal Poliwhirl had just happened to walk buy along with Gigas.

"Why don't you just use a can opener?" asked the tadpole.

"Can opener? That sounds too complicated. Gigas, smash this can so it opens up," ordered Kero Kato.

"Uh, then won't all of the food inside of it get squashed," pointed out the Onix.

"Oh, right." He turned to Maelstrom. "Blast the can open with a Hydro Pump." He squinted his eyes evily. "Full force."

"I've never tried that before," related the Poliwhirl. "But wouldn't that also destroy the food?"

"Beans repel water," said Kero.

"Really? Where did you hear that from?"

"Oh, you know, some science journal or just one of those obscure facts I made up in my head one day."

"Eh, alright," gave in the tadpole. "How bad could it be?"

Five seconds later...

"Well," Kero spake, "we're gonna need a new house."

"And a new island," added Gigas. They looked to the distance.

"Ooo, the main land isn't going to be happy about this," said Maelstrom. "Remember, we felt an earthquake, right?"

"Is it really that bad?" queried Sunny.

"No," replied Gigas, "it's much worse."

"IsuckIsuckIsuck!" moaned the ghost.

"That's it boy," said Maelstrom. "Time to get some." He hoisted his now giant water orb above him. "AEgir! I supplicate your will!" Shadows spread across the landscape. These had nothing to do with clouds, but rather sheets of water moving toward him. They swirled overhead, leaving open only a hole overhead which a single, holy ray of light came through and struck the Poliwhirl.

With blank eyes, he looked to his foe. In silence, he stood and prayed. It was heard. In the heavens, the six-winged seraph knew his wish, and broke the seal. The flood gates opened, rushing forth their Biblical death. From the sky rained jets of water like rivers, striking the barrier that encompassed the terrain. It wound around the whirlpool and gathered at the single mouth. From the ground, Maelstrom levitated upward with his aquatic sphere until high above the ghost. The summoned heaven water collapsed the barrier with its weight, descending hastily fighting over itself to the tadpole. As the barrier folded in, it rained its wrath upon the earth in blades that fell as fast as daggers. The scape below was maimed by the force of these, leaving nothing standing. Trees were split and the dirt upturned. Watching the shrinking patterns on Gaia, he knew it was time for him to act. Maelstrom lifted up the orb and began to spin. While fully reared behind, the flood from above struck his orb, combining their powers. He swung the sphere down. It beamed to Hay Cheng, drilling through the specter and into the dirt. With such force did it collide that tremor resounded, mutilated the already ravaged land. The pillar of ocean continued to rotate, pushing its way into the earth and spirit. The tadpole hovered over to the top of it, and brought down his arms. He forced the sea spire deeper, blasting up the earth around. An aftershock emitted from it, tearing up the ground for kilometers surrounding.

"Hey guys," said Jackporeon, "I just got back and..." he looked to the Apocalypse around him. "Oh my, I chose a very bad time to return."

To end the destruction, the Poliwhirl snapped his fingers. The pillar exploded, rushing its waves across the now barren landscape.

Far away, the others looked at the rising waters in the distance.

"Feh, that doesn't look too big," degrated Kargo.

"Hey, Kabutops boy," Gigas mocked, "we're five miles away."

"Oh dear..." Then, they felt the earth tremble. A wall of water blasted upward with a Vaporeon atop it.

"Heeeelllllllppppppp mmmmmeeeeee!" Jackporeon cried. The wall slammed down before the group, crashing Jackporeon into the surface. Only a small tide washed about the groups feet. They hurried back to the site. They found the Poliwhirl lying unconscious in the crater, with his thumb half up.

"Hey, I think it worked," a relieved Human of the Mist said. Then, they heard wailing quietly...

"isuckisuckisuckIsuckIsuckISUCKISUCKISUCKISUCK!"

"He's still there?" Sunny asked.

"Yes, but not for long!" Vee cried and pulled out a black Pokéball. "Goooo, Sandy!" A Sandslash appeared.

"Sllllllaaaaaaassssshhhhh!" Sandy said.

"Shut up and kill that sucky thingy!" HotM told Sandy. Sandy turned to attack then noticed Jackporeon.

"Hey! This would make a great Helmet!" Sandy exclaimed and placed the Vaporeon on his head. Thenhe charged at the Suckness.

Twenty seconds later...

"Rose... bud..." Sandy gasped on the bloody ground.

"Twink... twinkies!" Jackeon stuttered.

"Why? My Pokémon are all pure trained and Lv 100! Why are they continualy getting beat?!" HotM cried.

"Well, you-" Maelstrom began.

"Shush! I shall send out... Buzz!" She pulled a yellow Pokéball off of her belt and flung it into the air. An Electrabuzz emerged from the red light.

"I'm pissed off for no good reason!" Buzz said.

"He always speaks his mind." Vee explained.

"Up yours!" Buzz growled.

"Buzz, be a good homacidle manic and unlease your rage on the ghost over there." Maelstrom said.

"What ghost?" Buzz demanded.

"The ghost over there... playing with himself... I must go gag up my guts now." HotM said.

"Buzz kill food!" Buzz cried as he charged toward the suckster.

"Suckin'!" the unbearable ghost cried out and sent Buzz flying back.

"Ah! That jerk's too strong," Buzz said. Jackdaw gasped.

"Ah-ha!" he cried out as he rose to his feet. Then, he brought his hind leg up and began pawing at his waist until a Pokéball fell from it. As it rolled along the ground, Bogg, his unusually chunky Raichu, sprung forth. As soon as he came out, he sat down, as if it pained him to do otherwise.

"Hey, good idea, Jackdaw," Vee surprised herself in saying. "With their combined electrical force, they should be able to toast this nuisance."

"What? Idea? Me?" Jackdaw's leg was still vigorously scratching his side. "Dang fleas. I never though about scratching them before. Aaaahhh..."

"Uh, yeah. Anyhoo," Vee rose her voice, "Bogg and Buzz, kill that Hay Cheng!" Bogg rose his eyes to Vee quizzingly.

"Would that require walking?"

"Not much."

"Screw that," the lazy mouse retorted as it fell asleep in his sitting position, not even bothering to lay down.

"Ummm," Vee racked her brain trying to think of how she could get the sloth filled mouse into action. "I'll give you a Twinkie if you kill it?" She crossed her fingers, praying it would work. At the syllable 'twi', Bogg's ears perked up high. His adoring jet eyes pierced hers.

"Really?" he asked. "A Twinkie!" He hopped to his feet with unexpected ease. Jackdaw suddenly became alert, and glared at her.

"You have Twinkies and didn't tell me? How dare you!" he protested. Bogg dashed to Buzz's side.

"Time to get me Twinkie." He looked at Buzz. "You ready to fry this guy."

"Cram it, tubbo," the Electabuzz carelessly retorted. Paying no attention to its words, the Raichu focused on the apparition.

"Now!" Bogg leapt high in the air, drawing the ghost's attacks. He climbed skyward evading each one while Buzz blackened the sky with storm clouds. In no time, Bogg was out of sight, and the angry clouds crackled with power. Buzz flexed his massive muscles as gargantuan surges of lightning struck his body. He absorbed all of the bolts' energy. Bolt after bolt, he took them in until his electrical force spilled from his body. His fists shone with unimaginable voltage. He shot one mean glance at the ghost before he acted.

"Time to die, ugly." Buzz ran to the specter with blazing speed, driving his charged fists of thunder into it. A volley of blows rained upon it, each one getting faster then the last. Sparks flew as his fists made contact with Hay Cheng, but the blows didn't even seem to be damaging it. It still stood chanting is annoy saying.

"IsuckisuckisuckisuckisuckIsuck!" Jackdaw's attention was then diverted from the battle, or possible the shiny thing on the ground near where the battle was fought, by a tug on his sleeve. It was Vee.

"Um, Jack," she began to ask him. "What did Bogg exactly do. He just left at the beginning of the battle."

"Oh, that," Jackdaw said. "He went to summon the one force that no one, no thing, could possibly live through."

"Which is..." Vee asked half confused and half curious.

"His weight." Her eyes grew. Out from the heavens, a voice rang out.

"Ooooooooooooooooooout of the waaaaaaaaay!!!" Bogg screamed as he fell to the earth with building speed. All of his limbs where being held back, causing his rotund belly to stick out. Buzz managed to jump back just in time miss being squashed like a pancake. Bogg's body slammed Hay Cheng into the ground, er, the depression in the earth that his body made, which had upheavaled dirt around it. The earth shook at his arrival. All stood still for just a while. Still face down in the dirt, Bogg brought up a stubby arm and made a "V" symbol.

"I don't get it," a bewildered Vee questioned, "How did he crush a ghost? They don't have physical bodies?"

"I don't think you know just how fat he really is," replied Jackporeon.

"Yeah," interrupted Squishy. "It's because of him that we had to move into that apartment building."

"Well," Bogg said lifting his face from the dirt, "you shouldn't have painted the house in the color of food."

"It was brick!" Bogg licked his lips.

"Mm, sure could go for some of that right about know... But there'll be time for that later. Right now, Twinkie me, girlie." His words were aimed at Vee.

"Uh, I don't really have any Twinkies," she explained.

"W-what?" Bogg's adorable eyes had sharpened into a fierce state. One could swear to see fire leaping from them.

"Oh, no!" yelled Jackdaw, "She lied to him about food! That's the worst thing you can do!" Squishy then pulled out a Twinkie and tossed it to Bogg.

"You're hiding Twinkies from me, too?" complained Jackdaw. "And I though you people cared about me." He buried his face in his hands, which were, in fact, his front paws. The loss of anterior support caused him to tip over and smash his face on the ground. Meanwhile, Bogg spotted the Twinkie, which had landed a few feet in front of his face, which had now regained its cute and cuddly composition. He opened his mouth, sucked it in, and chewed on it joyfully.

"You know," Squishy added, "there's wrappers on those!"

"Yeah, but what are you going to do." As Bogg swallowed the treat whole, Zooky popped up again.

"What are you doing here? I thought you had to do your uh... Mist Stone thingy?" Jackporeon asked.

"Help me! I've just eaten twenty boxs of Crispy M&M's! I... ZOOOOOKKKYYYY!" Zooky suddnly turned back into a hyper Hypno. He whipped out his, or rather Punishment's, plate of hot dogs and began hurling them at every body.

"Oo! Hot dog!" Sunny yelped and began to gobble them up.

"Hey! My hot dog!" Jackporeon said as he picked one up in his mouth.

"Mine!" Sunny yelled and chomped onto the end of Jackdaw's hotdog. They went into a hot dog tugging war. Zooky began to hurl the dogs at light speed.

"Ow! I think I'm bleeding!" Thumper whined as a hot dog hit him in the gut.

"Enough!" a booming voice cried. Everybody but Sunny and Jackporeon stopped moving. Suddenly a green light flashed, and, standing before them was a green, wrinkly, old man with pointy ears and antenna.

"Hey, you're the DBZ Kami! You suck!" Maelstrom said.

"Oh? Well, I've come to send you all to the next dimesion-"

"You mean hell," HotM interupted.

"Shh! Funimation will fire me if any one says somthing true and makes sense!" Kami silenced quickly.

"Why do you have to kill us? We're kind of in enough trouble as it is," Kargo grumbled.

"You ate from my fish tree!" Kami pointed out to Vee.

"So? They'll grow back," she blew off.

"No they wont! You ate every fish, ate all the leaves, and chewed the entire tree so much that it will never bloom again!" Kami reminded as he waved his cane about like a grumpy old fart. "And you!" Kami pointed to Jackdaw who was still fighting for his hotdog.

"What?" Jackporeon asked, letting go of the hot dog. Sunny gulped it down. "Awww..." Jackdaw groaned.

"You tried to capture the ghost of Manny the Charmander, and he's my poker partner on Fridays!" Kami stated to Jackdaw. Then, Kami turned to Maelstrom. "And you have a black swirl on your tummy! Heehee!" Kami giggled.

"Why can't any one shut up about that?" Maelstrom wondered. Kami then pointed to Zooky and took a big breath.

"You took all my togas, gave Mr. Popo a wet willy, mooned me on the highway, and then took the Dragon Balls and wish for an endless supply of hot dogs!?!" Kami screeched.

"Woohoo! Have I ever told you I love you Zooky?" Jackporeon revealed.

"Me too!" mentioned Bogg.

"ZOOOOOKKKYYY!" Zooky began to chuck hot dogs at Kami like he was a machine gun.

"Aaah! Mustard!" Kami gasped. Next thing he knew, a Nidoking was holding him in a bear hug. "Turn me back into a Vaporeon of the Mist or Silver gets a new punching bag!" Human of the Mist told Kami.

"Alright! Just get him away! He smells like a burst sewer pipe!" Kami gagged.

"First Vaporeonize me!" Vee bartered.

Kami sighed and commanded, "Thou shall never again be human, so says the Earth's Kami!" With that, VotM glowed with a neon blue light and was once again able to be called VotM. She did a little jig and pressed the button on the purple Pokéball that belonged to Silver. Silver dissolved into red light and was sucked into the Pokéball.

"Hey! What about me? I wanna be human again!" Jackdaw complained.

"I cannot do that, only he who cast the curse can remove it. You must find Manny's ghost and beg him for forgiveness." With that, Kami dissappeared.

"I thought this was about catching an obnoxios Hyno, not finding a ghost!" Maelstrom griped.

"Uh... Zooky's gone." Thumper informed.

"Oh, fish sticks," Jackdaw cursed, sorta. "Well, I guess the hunt continues!" VotM cheered. "Now we must-"

"Turn me back into a human?" suggested Jackporeon.

"Uh, no," replied VotM. "I was going to say that we must-"

"Turn me back into a human?" once again interjected Jackporeon.

"No, we don't care about you," snapped Vee.

"Aw, there has got to be a way to convince you," moaned Jackporeon. "Wait! I think I may have an idea."

"Are you sure about that?" asked Squishy.

"Um, let me see," he said and reflected for a short while. "Hey, I think I actually do have an idea!" With that, he slowly walked toward Vaporeon of the Mist and moved his maw toward he frilled ear. He began to whisper something, something so wretched that her pitch eyes grew large and her scales grew pale.

"Guys," she barely managed to mutter, "we are going to find that ghost." Jackdaw seemed awefully proud of himself as he smuggly walked away.

"Jackdaw," inquired Squishy, "what did you say to her?" He really didn't want to know what the answer was, but something about Vee's disgusted reaction urged him onward.

"I simply said that as long as we are the same species th-"

"That's it, put me back in my ball now," demanded Squishy. He wasted no time, and Squishy withdrew himself.

"What's with him?" asked Bogg, who had not heard what had just transpired. "Does it involve food?"

"No."

"Oh, so I wouldn't care." The mouse went back into its slumber.

"I think we have to go to Lavender Town with the Pokémon Tower to find Manny," told Vee. "Now, I want everyone to promise that we don't destroy it, alright?"

"Uh, alright," said a finger-crossing Maelstrom.

"zzzzzoooooOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKYYYYyyy!" screamed a blur that zoomed by them.

"Zooky! He's going hyper speed because of all of those M&M's!" exclaimed Vee. Gigas lunged at the yellow creature and bit onto it but still wasn't enough to hold it back. The rest of the group grabbed onto the Onix, but still the Hypno carried them.

About an hour later...

"This is getting boring," stated Maelstrom. He pulled his way up the rock snake and beaned Zooky. Immediately, they came to a stop. They looked about their dull surrounding to find that they were in Lavender Town. "Hey, what a time saver! Now, since we are right next to the Pokémon Tower, if anyone feels like killing something it will be an easy burial."

"No one's going to kill anyone, Maelstrom," stated Vee.

"Speak for yourself," retorted Maelstrom. "I haven't seen Psybro around in a while, and that Thumper is really getting on my case."

"He hasn't said anything for posts," told Kargo.

"I'm not favoring you much either right now, Kargo," declared the Poliwhirl.

"Let's just go inside," ordered Vee. The party entered the gloomy doors, dragging Zooky behind them.

"Aw, why did they have to build this tower so high?" complained Sunny.

"Shut up," said Maelstrom, "we're almost there." Once at the top, they searched amoung the many graves to find Manny's.

"Hey, I found it!" yelled Jackdaw.

"Really? Eww, why is it wet?" asked Vee.

"Well, I found it in a cornor for a reason."

"Let's just ignore that and get this ghost out," said Maelstrom. "First, we need a sacrifice." He grabbed the fluff ball that was Sunny and chanted, "We spill the blood of this hated runt for you, Manny."

"No," scorned Vee and she snatched the Eevee away from the tadpole.

"Then what can we do?"

"I know, make something stupid happen!" cheerfully exclaimed Jackdaw. "Hey, where's Bogg at?"

"What the- Did they just leave me here?" questioned the fat mouse, still prostrate on the ground back at the site of the Zooky pull train. "Well, of all of the- hey, a crumb from my twinkie!" It began inhaling wildly. "No, grass," he dismissed, swallowed, and tried again. "No, dirt. No, rock. No, bystander. Ah, there was the crumb." He chewed joyfully before lulling back into slumber.

"What we need is a pointless cameo," thought up Kargo.

"Fools," a deep, dark voice boomed throughout the room. "You lack wisdom and therefore know not how to summon the ghostly spirits."

"Who said that?" asked Maelstrom.

"'Twas I," said a figure that jumped down into the shadows. As he walked forth, first became visible his spikey head, then the slits for eyes.

"It's Takeshi, everybody!" They all cheered. "Can you help us summon this ghost?"

"Me?" the cool mannered man mocked. "You know not of what you are getting yourselves into. Summoning the dead is a dangerous meditation that-"

"Hey, this guy just won't shut up," interrupted the tadpole.

"Why isn't he goofy and funny,?" asked Sunny, "and why isn't he wearing a shirt?"

"This is Game Boy Brock, not," Maelstrom paused to shudder, "anime Brock."

"Correct," stated Takeshi. "I am wise and learned. I shall help you if you can-"

"No, we can't," Maelstrom halted Takeshi once again. "Instead, we are going to do... this!" He flung out a blade from no where.

"Maelstrom, I told you not to kill anyone," reminded Vee.

"I'm not going to kill him," the Poliwhirl assured while running his glove to the hilt of the sword. "I'm just going to press this button." The blade of the sword fell off. He held forth the bare hilt. "C'mon, Takeshi, you know you want too."

"Ha! You must be thinking of another character that my voice actor, Eric Stewart, does, Gourry. I'm not going... to..." His mind wandered as he looked at the hilt. Suddenly, a green vest popped on him as he took up the hilt and screamed in a incompetent tone: "Light come forth!" From the hilt burst a brilliant beam of holy light that shattered into a blade.

"Great! We have our stupid Takeshi now. Can you tell us how to summon Manny's spirit?" asked Maelstrom.

"Yes, I was told once long ago, but," stupidly stated Brock. Then, his face became round and his eyes small as his toungue stuck out. "I never paid attention!"

"Why did you have to make him so stupid?" scolded Vee. "Now we can't get that ghost back."

"No, now watch this," the Poliwhirl said as he cleared his throat. "Oh, Manny, you cursed the wrong person. This idiot is actually Jackdaw." The appration appeared before them and looked from Jackporeon to Brock. ... I mean, Takeshi. Aw, who cares.

"Ahhh!" screamed Brock. "The fish is still raw!" He stooped down to tend his fire with speared fish cooking over them.

"This one isn't stupid enough to be Jackdaw," said the ghost. "How dare you try to fool me! Now you must pay!"

"Uh, wait, before you do," quickly added the Poliwhirl, "let me tell you a tale..."

"Hey, Maelstrom," queried Kero, "is this water heater broken?"

"I don't know," answered the trusty tadpole. "Why would you think so?"

"Well, I turned on the water, and it was cold."

"Was the water set to cold?" asked Maelstrom.

"No, it was set to 'C'," told Kero Kato. "It must be broken. Aww, I need to take a shower, and I can't take one without warm water. Hmm, this large metal thing over here seems to be warm."

"Uh, you mean the water heater?" informed Maelstrom.

"Yeah, whatever you called it. It seems to be in working order," said Kero. "Not like that stupid water heater," darkly spake he. "Then it's settled, I'll have to take a bath in it..."

"The funny part was that we couldn't reach in to get him out, and anything we stuck in to lift him out melted right away," finished Maelstrom. Manny stared forward in utter disbelief.

"Did," the specter began, "did that actually happen?"

"Unfortunately, yes," admitted Gigas. The ghost became even paler. Its eyes grew so wide that only the size of its gaping mouth compared. The phantom melted down, its very spiritual fabric having been dispelled by idiocy. Jackdaw sprung up as a human.

"Hey, the curse it gone," declared Jackdaw.

"Thank you!" exclaimed VotM. "Now, we must-"

"Wake Zooky?" suggested Jackdaw.

"No, I'm going to get back at you for that remark you made!"

"Don't act like you weren't inter- ah!" He screamed as a volley of water blasted him down.

"Hey, what a minute!" Maelstrom cut in suddenly. "Shouldn't Jackdaw be naked if he was just a Vaporeon with a tiny jacket?" Jackdaw looked down at himself. It was true, he had only his belt and a tiny ripped jacket on him. It really brought into question what happened to his cloths when he first became a Bubblejet. "Hey! Close your eyes!" Jackdaw demanded. Every one did so. "Keep them closed till I find somthing to wear!" Jackdaw said.

Five minutes later...

"Ok, you can open them now," Jackdaw's voice assured. Every one opened their eyes. Jackdaw was wearing a Mediums clothing. He even had the stick with paper strips on it.

"Where did you get those?" demanded Kargo.

"Some possessed lady was running around on the third floor and yelling things about a Gengar stealing her soul. Then she took off her cloths and shaved her head bald!" He grinned at the memory.

"Well... lucky you? Let's take Zooky to the Lavender Town Pokécenter." VotM said.

The gang was in the Loby of the Pokécenter. Zooky was in a straight jacket. He keep making hot dogs appear out of thin air and hit people in the eye and other delicate parts of the body. Nurse Joy approched them.

"What seems to be the problem?" she asked as she dodged a hot dog.

"Uncle Zooky went coocoo for Cocoa puffs, and then we went to China and I got a toy!" Sunny held up the windup Venasaur.

"Aw, how cute!" Joy said.

"No, this Hypno has too much sugar in his blood stream, and he's kind of temperarily insane." VotM told Joy.

"Oh dear, he need... a lobatomy!" Joy said, followed by her evil cackling.

"Can I eat it when its out?"

"Bogg?" Jackdaw exclaimed, coming out of the women's room with his more familiar garb donned. "What are you doing here? How did you even get here?"

"Hot dogs," the mouse told his trainer while popping one of the franks in his mouth. "Where ever food is, I will be there," he explained in an almost mystical voice, "and then it won't be there for much longer."

Jackdaw shrugged his shoulders and concluded, "Makes sense."

"ZOOKY!" the enraged Hypno cried as it struggled to free itself from its confines.

"Why does it need a lobatomy exactly? Couldn't we just pump it full of drugs or something?" Vee rationalized.

"Awww, drugs?" whined the nurse. "That's not nearly as fun." She had a chainsaw ready to be started up and the appropriate eye protection.

"Don't worry, I'll put the chainsaw to good use," Jackdaw comforted her as he removed the blade from her hands and started it up. He then propped his leg up on a chair, and began steadying the blade to it.

"Jack!" yelled Cinder, "What do you think you're doing."

"I'm cutting off my leg, duh!" he spoke as if Cinder should have known why.

"What for?" he yelled over the loud motor.

"To get the Imps out of it." The twirling saw sank through his pant leg. "Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Bone... There we go. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." He peered into the exposed end of his leg. "Where are you, Imps, I know you're in there... Hey, they're not here. Oh, silly me. It was the other leg!" He propped up his last remaining leg and brought the saw to it. Nurse Joy stared at him puzzled, but then turned to the rest during the self operation.

"I... think medication might help this one," she said as she wiped away some mess that had landed on her from the shower of blood. "But your friend-"

"He's," quickly interrupted the Poliwhirl, his voice barely audiable over the shrieks of agony, "not our friend."

"-is in desprate need of mental help," she finished.

"You can lobatomize him," suggested Vee.

"Jeez, Vee," Maelstrom said, "when did you become so cold hearted? That's my job."

"When we were both Vaporeons," she reminded him, "he suggested that we -"

"LA LA LALA, I AM NOT LISTENING! LA LA LA!" the tadpole screamed at the top of his lungs as he ran out of the room.

"Take him in for surgery, Nurse Joy. And make sure," she tried to hold back her laughter," you, hmmff, be careful with him. Pfft." She gave way, as well as everyone else in the room.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

"Okay, sir," she turned to see the legless Jackdaw, "would you come with me?"

"Certainly," he said, "just give me a few seconds." He had his fingers digging through the flesh of his most recently hacked off leg. He pulled something out. "Xaxadraean!" he said to a small red creature in is grip. "I thought I told you to stay out of there?"

"Oh, come on. Give me another chance?" pleaded the infernal being.

"You were warned." He loosely tossed the thing aside, and Bogg caught it in his mouth and swallowed. The screaming of children was then heard coming from his stomach.

"Bogg, you didn't eat small children again, did you?" accused Cinder.

Bogg sighed, "Why is it everytime I walk by an Elementry School and a class winds up missing, everyone assumes that I ate them?"

"Did you?" Cinder repeated.

"... Yeah, but that's not point." Cinder only hung his head and shook it.

"Sir," the Nurse said again, now wearing a butcher's smock, "would you hurry, please."

"Just a sec," he said as he finished screwing his leg back on. "No one will ask how that was done. Understand?" Everyone nodded.

Hours past, and the medication seemed to be calming Zooky down. The Nurse stepped out of the operating room and shook her head with a saddened look on her face.

"Hey everyone, Jackdaw's dead!" cried the Poliwhirl. Corks burst from bottles as wine filled cups. Horns and other party items filled the air with joyous noise.

"No," she told them, "he very much alive." A disappointed moan sounded in unisyn.

"Well, what happened then? You took so long," Vee asked.

"You see, by the time we cracked open his skull, five minutes ago-"

"Five minutes? But you were there for hours!" exclaimed Sunny.

"His skull took out eleven saw blades," the nurse expounded. "Anyways, when we finally got it open, we found our work was already done."

"What do you mean," asked VotM, "done?"

"We couldn't lobatomize anything..."

"Oh... I see..."

"So, in a short five minutes, I figured while he was on the operating table, I could... turn him into a woman."

"Why do that?" cried VotM.

"It seemed like a good idea at the time," admitted Nurse Joy. Jackdaw came bounding out of the surgery, wearing a dress and high heels.

"Hi guys!" he said in an unusually high-pitched voice.

"What is up with all the sex changes and such in this story?" yelled Maelstrom.

"Jackdaw, we've got to get you back to normal!" yelled Vee.

"Why?" he queried. "I was always a woman!"

"No, you weren't!" shouted VotM. "You..." She stopped talking as she noticed Jackdaw had bent down and was cooing to Thumper, who was still a bunny.

"You're a cutie, aren't you?" cooed Jackdaw.

"... Help," screamed the frozen Thumper.

"I could reverse the operation, but it'll cost ya," mentioned the Nurse.

"You only did that so you could get our money, didn't you?" VotM asked angrily.

"Yep!" admitted the Nurse, an evil glint in her eye.

"Well, we're gonna have to get money to change Jackdaw back," announced Vee.

"But how?"

"Why are we in Celadon City?" asked VotM later.

"Kargo said he knew how to get easy money here," Maelstrom told her. The Kabutops had been leading the two around the city. The others had been left in Lavender Town to watch Zooky and Jackdaw.

"Here we are!" Kargo announced.

"This is the Rocket Game Corner!" Maelstrom exclaimed.

"Yeah! Gambling!" Kargo explained. They walked in.

"But we don't have any money, you stupid shellfish!" VotM yelled.

"Watch!" Kargo walked up to the first person he saw at a slot machine and stood behind him, staring at the back of the guys head.

"Whaaa?! You wanna play some slots? Here!" The guy gave Kargo twenty tokens.

"See?" Kargo boasted, his ego inflating. So the trio went to every person in the place and looked at them till they got tokens. Eventuly they had six thousand tokens.

"Woohoo! This is enough to get Jackdaw another sex change and a new brain! Plus enough left over to go to Hawii!" VotM cheerd as she struggled to hold the many tokens in her paws.

"One problem, people. I just found out you can't refund these things for money, only TMs and Pokémon," Maelstrom informed.

"All that for nothing?" Kargo sobbed.

"No, not all for nothing," Maelstrom said with an evil smile, or would have if he had a mouth.

"Chansey for sale! Chansey! Only six thousand bucks! Buy it today, and we throw in a Scyther for only two hundred dollers! Hurry up before they're gone!" Kargo cried. He was in the middle of the street in front of the Pokécenter pitching his sales. He had a mask that looked a tiny bit like a human and had oven mits on his blades. A cardboard sign strung around his neck said the same thing he was shouting. It featured very tiny text. VotM and Maelstrom were on top of Celadon Mansion, lounging by the pool. "Why aren't you helping?!" Kargo yelled up to them.

"It was your idea to come here," Maelstrom shouted back to Kargo, "so you can get the money just like you promised." Then he laid back in to his pool chair and put on a pair of sunglasses. VotM was doing Backstrokes in the pool. Jackdaw was in the pool, too, showing off his- um... her body.

"This is scary," said Squishy, floating around, "Jackdaw seems to make a better chick then he did a dude."

"It is really disturbing," stated Cinder, soaking rays in a near by pool chair. "Hey, watch it, guys!" A splash went astray as Jackdaw and Sunny had a wave battle. A super-cute girlish giggle came from Jackdaw's mouth.

"Well, at least his laugh became more masculine. That's a plus," added in Squishy.

"I just pray that surgery gets done fast. This is just too weird, and - ... Jackdaw! Stop doing that!"

"I can't help it, they're fun." Cinder darted off

"Don't mind me," he explained, "I'm just off to retch."

"Right behind you, buddy." Squishy followed him out.

Eventually, Kargo rose to the roof, haggard and worn.

"Sorry, guys," he told, "we are still short a couple of hundred." Then the air was pierced by Jackdaw's shrieking.

"Wow, they sure can move a lot."

"That's it, we'll give you everything we have," Cinder said.

"How much would that be?"

"Uh, $150 minus the lunch you see splattered over there," Squishy said.

"Well," Kargo spoke seeming depressed, "we still need five hundred dollars."

"Yeah, but what are you gonna do?" Maelstrom stated while reclining on his pool chair.

"Oops, tee-hehehehe!" Jackdaw giggled as she fell on Maelstrom. "Oh, I'm sorry, hey, your kinda cute with your round eyes and tummy swirl," she said while gliding a finger along his stomach's insignia.

"OH SWEET UNMERCIFUL ODIN, STIKE ME DOWN, NOOOWWW!" the Poliwhirl screamed in anguish. "I'll give seven hundred to whoever gets it off of me!" Kargo swiped at Jackdaw quickly, not wishing to stay in contact with it for too long.

"You've been holding out on us, Maelstrom?" questioned Vee.

"Yeah, but I got this money from the insurance company, and I was saving it for an emergancy," explained the tadpole. "This just escalated into an emergency."

"What did you get money from the insurance company for?" asked Thumper, huddling in a corner to keep away from Jackdaw.

"Umm, well..."

"Hey, Maelstrom," called Kero Kato, "there's a bottomless pit in our basement! How come we never noticed that before?"

"How could you not notice it?" asked Maelstrom. "You blew up that hole there yesterday when experimenting with alternative methods to driving."

"Oh, yeah," recalled Kero. "I almost landed on the roof of the Reality Recess."

"Too bad you landed in that all girl academy instead."

"Hey, it's not my fault their changing room had a sky light. That's just asking for trouble. Besides, it wasn't fair when they wanted me to prove that a was a chick."

"You punched a nun," spake Maelstrom.

"She never saw that one coming," said Kero, full of accomplishment.

"She was seventy," spake Maelstrom, "and this pit can't be bottomless. Nothing can."

"Why's that?" asked Kero.

"Well, you see, eventually it just goes to the cen-"

"You take to long," interrupted Kero. "Tell me once you see what's down their." With a swift push, Maelstrom fell down the hole.

"Ooo, it must have been aweful painful down their with all of that molten magma," said Vee.

"No, I... never mind," said the Poliwhirl. "What happened just gets stranger, but not as strange as Jackdaw. Let's get him back to normal, er, 'Jackdawness'!" With a cheer they ran off.

Hours passed as the group remained in the waiting room. They sat wondering, except Bogg, who was chewing on the fake leaves of a plant.

"Do you think he'll make it this time?" asked Vee.

"I hope not," Maelstrom said. "I gave the nurse my extra rusty blade to perform the operation with." His eyes went glassy with the fond memory. "Ah, PhilPsy-Slay Knife, please add Jackdaw to your name." Then, the door opened up. Jackdaw stepped out.

"Aw, he lived," complained Vee, "and he's still a woman."

"No I'm not," said Jackdaw.

"Oh."

"We had some trouble with him," told the nurse. "We've never seen a Pokémon's anatomy look like this ones."

"Uh... he's a human."

"He is!?" The nurse looked over Jackdaw again. "Are you sure about that?"

"Yes."

"Then why did you bring him to a Pokémon Center?"

"Eh," said Maelstrom.

"Eeeee!" shrieked Jackdaw, girlier than previously, "Maelstrom has such a cute belly."

"Yeah, that's our Jackdaw all right," spake a smug Cinder.

"Gigas, help me out here," demanded Maelstrom.

"No way," the rock snake defied, "don't you remember the last time I helped you out?"

"Well, Kero said that Maelstrom was deep inside of the earth," thought Gigas to himself as he tunneled through Gaia. He emerged at a lush world of vegetation. "Hey, what the-"

"Ahh!" screamed Maelstrom, running from a patch of foliage. "Gigas, get us out of here!" A large Allosaur ran from the thicket chasing the Poliwhirl.

"Feh," stated Maelstrom, "if everyone let getting mawed by a dinosaur sour them on helping others, then no one would ever get help again."

"I'm just glad that everything is back to normal, and all loose ends were tied," happily announced Vee. The wall broke down as Mew and Mewtwo made their way through.

"You just had to say it, didn't you, Vee?" Mewtwo's eye's opened wide as he spotted the familure travalers.

"EEEEEEEEKKKK! It's that icky-poo Mewtwo!" Jackdaw gasped and then jumped onto a chair.

"What are you two doing here?" Kargo, still wearing oven mits, asked.

"Mewtwo murned mis mand mon man moven!" Mew said.

"What?" Mewtwo groaned and said, "I burned my hand on the oven when I tried to cook a pizza. It was all that durn Hitmonlee clone's falt!" Mewtwo held up his right hand to show the burn scar.

"Awww, poor little guy! You need a hug," Jackdaw insisted, and before Mewtwo could react, Jackdaw had him in a gig hug.

"Waaah! Get 'im off! Get 'im off!" Mewtwo began to run about with Jackdaw still clinging to his tummy. Then he ran into a wall and was out cold. Jackdaw was still alive, sadly.

"Mhy must mhis mappen mevery mime Mi meet mou?" Mew sighed and had a nearby Chansey drag Mewtwo to a doctors office.

"Oookkkaaayyy..." VotM said.

"Well here we are. Broke with a transexual and a recovering maniac Hypno," Maelstrom said as the group wandered along the road somewhere outside of Fuschia City. Jackdaw was pushing a cart thingy that held Zooky, bound with chains and gagged with a rolled up sock.

"We should sleep out here in the wilderness even though Fuschia City is only ten feet away," VotM said with a yawn.

"Whatever floats your boat," Maelstrom replied. They put up a tent that came out of no where and some how managed to all fit in it.

That night, everyone but Sunny and Zooky were asleep in the tent. Sunny was outside "guarding" Zooky. The lunatic, on the other hand, had other ideas. He had calmed down and had to escape but was still tied to the cart.

"Sunny!" Zooky said to her in thought speak.

"Uh?" Sunny looked up from her toy Venasaur.

"You are a little brat, Sunny," Zooky told her. He wanted to make her angry. It was midnight, and when an Eevee becomes very angry very late, bad things occur.

"You smell like poop!" childishly resorted the Hypno.

"Zooky? Why are you being so mean?" Sunny asked.

"Because I hate you and never want to see you again! Everyone hates your hyper cuteness! They all want you to die! 'Uncle' Maelstrom wants to snap your little neck, and Vee wants to get rid of you because she thinks you're a pesk!" As Zooky piled on insults, Sunny felt broken hearted at first, but then the slightest trace of anger began. "You're a worthless stuffed animal!"

"No, I'm not!" Sunny yelled.

"Yes, you are! You suck!" Sunny began to screech and ran about. She wanted to hurt and tackle people. She wanted revenge. She felt... pure anger. Sunny roared in a demonic voice. The moon shone upon her. Then, the evolution began. She grew to the size of a Vaporeon with a sickening crack of bones. Her lovely soft mane and tail shrunk into her skin, leaving her bare neck and a wolf-like tail. Her fur turned dark and golden circles appeared all over her body. Her once huge eye's narowed and her ears flatened agnst her head in a sign of warning.

"Umbreon!" She howled to the moon.

"Yes..." Zooky thought. "Now die!" Zooky screamed as he lept up without impedance from his sentry. His hands were held on his brow with energies emitting from his eyes beneath. A wave of telekinetic force blasted forth toward the Umbreon. The wave struck it, creating a brilliant ball of psychic powers surrounding it, which gave its way in an explosion. "Bwahahahaha- huh?" He stopped his laughter to see that Sunny was still there. "Wait, was ESP strong against daemons or futile, I forget which... Actually, is that even how you evolve a Blackie?" While recalling, the Umbreon unsheathed its fangs and lept at Zooky's throat. Shadows gathered around the wound and sunk into the Hypno. He fell to the ground near lifeless. Maelstrom popped out of the little tent.

"Eegads! Sunny evolved into an Umbreon!" he declared. "Hey, shouldn't have Sunny evolved into Espeon, the sun Pokémon, instead of the moon one?" Sunny looked to the Poliwhirl with feral eyes. She left the felled Hypno and pursued its new prey. Gigas, who somehow fit into a tent, came out and saw what transpired.

"Wake up!" it screamed, unpitching all tents. Vee looked around and saw her cousin.

"Sunny?" The Umbreon became confused with all of the people around it. It bellowed at them and ran away. "What happened to her?"

"Evolved and became evil, methink," said Maelstrom.

"What can we do? We have to find a way to get Sunny back," worrily stated VotM.

"Me mhall mill mou mand mhen make mover mhe morld," said Mew, who had suddenly jumped out from no where.

"No time for you!" spake Maelstrom while pushing the new species out of the way. The party chased through the woods to find Sunny.

"Hey, I don't see him," said Thumper the bunny. "I think-"

"... you think what, Thumper?" questioned Vee. When she received no response, she turned to find that he was gone. Systematically, another cry was heard from Kargo, then Cinder, then Squishy, and then Jackdaw. All they saw was a blur through the darkness carry them down. Maelstrom and VotM stood back to back. "Sunny is here. What are we going to do? This looks like the end."

"If we are going to die, I have to tell you something, Vee," announced Maelstrom. "Remember that time when we were drunk?"

"Uh, no," VotM said.

"Oh, really? ... Then never mind." The eerie eyes of the Umbreon flanked them. They stooded paralyzed by its gaze.

"I hoped that it wouldn't have to come to this," Maelstrom sadly stated. The Sunny opened its gaping maw and advanced. With a quick pounce, it lunged at the victims. Vee closed her eyes to the inevitable. She heard a yelp and a thud. She slowly opened one eye to find the Umbreon lying on the ground. She looked over to Maelstrom, and perceived him with his eyes ablaze. In one hand, he held a glove, and in his bare hand, he held a blue stone.

Maelstrom fell forward with his arms stretched across the ground. A beam from the heavens came down to the Poliwhirl and struck the ground around him, blazing in a majestic aquamarine pillar. His back bulged out and his legs became thicker and longer. His arms swelled with strength and his eyes grew white. The holy pyre died down; he erected to full height and looked down upon the Umbreon.

"Alright, boy," Maelstrom said in an unusual deep voice, then struck a fighting stance but still with a thumb up, "time to get some." The prone Umbreon lept at him, but he dodged the bite and grabbed her around her forelegs. He locked the Umbreon, which kicked violently at him. Eventually, she submitted to his strength.

"We got 'er, Vee, so what now?"

"I... don't know. I just can't beleave my sweet little Sunshine evolved into a daemon!" VotM sobbed. "Aunt Veevee is going to kill me! We have to change her back!"

"You can't reverse an Evolution, Vee." Kargo said as he pulled himself from the bushes. There were small bite marks all over his armor. Behind him was Thumper who no longer had a Fuzzy cotten tail, and a small chank taken out of his ear.

"Whoa... that was so Blair Witch Project!" Jackdaw exclaimed. He seemed unharmed.

"Hey! Why haven't you got any chew marks on you?" demanded Kargo.

"I tripped on this rock, and then gave it a makeover as an apology!" Jackdaw held up a Geodude who now had a blonde wig, lipstick, huge eye lashes, and a mole on its cheek.

"That's just plain wrong," VotM stated with a blank face.

"Naarrr!" snarled Sunny as she attempted to free herself from Maelstroms grasp. "Here's the plan: we take Sunny to the Home for Blood Thirsty Daemon Pokémon, then drop Kargo off at Red Lobster, and then it's off to Seafoam for some R & R!" the tadpole said.

"What about Zooky?" asked Jackdaw as he/she combed the Geodudette's hair.

"Uh oh...Zooky's gone again? I guess now we have to..."

"Find out why Sunny evolved into an Umbreon when it was mad instead of happy?" Jackdaw interrupted.

"What did you say?" queried Vee.

"Get some pie," he repeated.

"Really?" Bogg rose his voice. "I was thinking the same thing."

"... No, I was going to say find the nearest M&M factory," she explained, "Zooky is bound to be there. And if this map I got from somewhere that no one will question its orgin, is correct, we go south for a few miles."

"You know, I'm surprised that the medication that Nurse Joy gave Zooky didn't fix him up- Bogg! Come back here!" Each step the mouse took shook the earth as he dashed away.

"Mmm... candy." His tongue hung from the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, great," sighed Squishy. "Not this again. Well, that factory's going out of business."

"Don't worry," declared Jackdaw. "I'll get us there!"

"Why us?" Maelstrom questioned the sky. First, he tied a rope on Gigas's crest and around Sunny's neck. He had everyone except Thumper get one his back. Then, he tied Thumper to what seemed to be the end of a fishing pole.

"I don't understand what it is you're- Ah, nuts," Thumper squealed, now with his fur dripping wet. Jackdaw put down his emptied canteen and perched on Gigas's head. He flung the fluffy bunny about a foot infront of Sunny's face. A savage, primal instinct came over the Umbreon, as it darted to the cute bunny, who was always just out of reach. Gigas began to get dragged along the ground. In no time, they were at the doors of the M&M factory at which point Sunny collapsed from shear exhastion.

"And here we are," Jackdaw stated. "Plus, I got the Sunny problem temporarily handled."

"Yeah, good job, Jack," Vee complimented. "One problem, we went north! I was accidentally holding the map upside down."

"Uh oh, then where's Bogg at? ..."

Bogg continued his bounding pace to the large building. He stopped at a large sign up front. He couldn't read, but he saw the two familar M's on the sign. With a gluttonous smile, he broke through the doors and began devouring everything in the dark warehouse. Of course, if he could read, he would have seen that sign had two words under the two letters: Mindy's Manure...

"Well, how do we know he's here, guys?" A box of franks broke through a window and "ZOOKY!" rang from it.

("Zzzzzzzzzz..."

"Kero, wake up! You have to add to VB."

"No, mommy, me no want to wake up. All of the normal kids at school make fun of me, and the special kids laugh, too."

"Wake up, you idiot! *slaps Kero* Add to the story, now! It's been idle forever."

"Eh, I don't care... you add to it then."

"Me? Well, why not?")

"Oh, yeah, we don't know if Zooky's in there," Maelstrom stated.

"What are you," asked Vee. "Jackdaw or something?"

"You don't know my master," the Poliwrath told, "and quite frankly, I rather that it stayed that way."

"Mi muck!" a shrill cry came from behind.

"Not you again," Gigas lamented. "I haven't even known you that long, and already you are getting on my nerves. Can I kill them, Maelstrom?"

"Of course not!" responded Maelstrom. "I want to kill them."

"I suppose that you are here to stop us?" Mewtwo queried.

"What? No, we don't care what you are doing," told Vee.

"Oh, you don't care that we are trying to destroy all threads linking to the Mist Stone?"

"No, why would we?"

"Eh, I guess that there really is no reason," said the master of the cheap. "Alright, mum, let us destroy this crispy M&M factory." Vee paused from all motion, except her eyes which darted over to the cheapos. Her features contorted slightly to the beginning stages of rage. She clenched tight her jaw and spoke; through her teeth.

"What?"

"We have to destroy this factory," he replied. "I thought that you did not care? We said that we were going to destroy the roots of the Mist Stone, and since they were made from the most powerful force in the universe, Cripsy M&M's, we must desrtoy all factories so that none may eat them again!" Now her face transformed entirely to fury. Waves of midnight hued energies emitted from her.

"What?" repeated she.

"ZOOKY!" roared the feral Hypno as it crashed through the window. It wildly flung its hot dogs around the place. It looked out at the party and their cool manner. Each stood frozen facing the espers. "... Zooky?" it whined.

"Not now, Zooky," ordered VotM. "These guys want to destroy all Crispy M&M's." Instantly, Zooky sobered up and lept into rank. He tossed down his franks and assumed a battle stance.

"'Prophet!'" cried he, "'Thing of evil! Prophet still if bird or devil!'"

"Stop your Poe-quoting and kill these guys!" Maelstrom wailed as he rushed toward them. A bubble formed around his huge fist and exploded into a spout as he struck Mew. The watery cyclone enveloped her and carried her high into the sky. The hurricane disappated, and the Poliwrath hopped back to avoid the falling new species as she plummeted forcefully into the ground. Mewtwo hovered back and summoned his telekinetic powers. Before Vaporeon of the Mist could latch onto the genetic one, he had thrown is mental onslaught. It bit deep into her, tossing her back like a child's toy. She landed on her shoulder and tumbled over into the distance.

"Noo!" lamented Kargo as he ran over, only to find himself victim to an unwary attack of el Cheapo. He crashed to the ground, some yards away from his love.

"Vee!" cried Maelstrom as he braved across the battle field. He stooped down and gently lifted up the Vaporeon in his arms.

"Maelstrom," she managed to whisper. Her eyes were half closed, but the half hidden black jewels still shimmered as a few tears rolled off. "There has always been something that I wanted to tell you..." The battle raged on in the background, but both ignored it for this moment. "Maelstrom, I l-"

("Hey, what are you doing, Maelstrom!"

"Kero! Oh, you're up sooner than I had expected *shifts eyes*"

"What are you writing? Oh, c'mon, Maelstrom. That would never happen."

"Uh, it might... with enough tranquilizers."

"Well, I'm going to have to clean up this mess that you started...")

"- love Special K," she continued.

"Special K? The cereal?!" a shocked Maelstrom responded.

"Hey, that's some good cereal."

"Maelstrom, don't come on to Vee. You know about your... past," said Gigas.

"Hey, you can't use that thing about being fixed," Jackdaw said. "because you've been fixed, Cinder!"

"Did you have to say that so loud?" asked Cinder.

"I could say it louder if you'd like."

"No, he wasn't fixed," told Gigas. "He was sort of, well, both."

"I'm not anymore!" he was quick to correct. "I'm all man now, and thanks to that, they now have warning labels on salad shooters!"

"Uh-huh, right," Kargo said. "Please do not elaborate on that."

"But how are we to stop Mewtwo?" asked Vee. "He has been around for a while, and no one has killed him yet. That's the only reason anyone would include Mr. Cheap in a story line: to die a bloody death."

"I'll handle it!" Maelstrom cheerfully said and then walked over to el Cheapo. "Mewtwo, you are used by people who don't know how to fight, anime-fanboys, and the young that know no better."

"Uh, your point being?"

"My point is," the Poliwrath went on, "that your following crowd is the same as the Pikachu users!"

"Nooooo!" With that, the cheap ghost exploded into thousands of bits.

"Whew, 'bout time someone took care of him. I thought someone would have killed him off long ago." Jackdaw sniffed the air around him. "Hey, what's that smell?" From behind rolled a plump, ripe rat.

"Uh, are you okay, Bogg?"

"Yeah, great! I found this yummy chocolate factory..."

"Wow! This place is great! Hey what are those dwarfed orange guys doing here?"

"Hoomba, hoomba, dipity doo. We work all day shovelin' poo."

"Over here," said the man is a top hat and suit, "we have a fertilizer that instantly replenishes itself! No matter how often it is used, it keeps coming back! Hey, where did the pile go?"

"I dunno," Bogg, puffily cheeked, said.

"Well, at least everything is back to normal," Jackdaw stated.

"Yeah," Maelstrom said, and then paused. "Um, these last couple of days have seemed to have no rhymne or reason to them. What exactly has been going on and what are we going to do now?"

"I dunno," answered Vee.

"Maybe, now that Zooky is back to his scotish accented old self, we should go back to Seafoam?" VotM suggested.

"You're Scottish, Zooky?" asked Maelstrom.

"Um, yes... eh?"

"No, that's Canadian," corrected Gigas.

"Do shut up you, um, McIdiot," mocked the Hypno.

"Eh, that's a little better."

"I don't get something though," Cinder said. "What ever happened with that huge Psychic War that was brewing? Or Mothra? Where did she ever go to? And Cloud Strife, how did you even get here?"

"I dunno," he said while shrugging.

"I just don't understand why none of these things were answered," Cinder continued. "I mean, even Jackdaw said he was going for a taco and never got it."

"Hey, you're right," he realized. "Well, I'll change that. I'm going to Taco Bell!" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a heap of papers. "I have one hundred coupons, too, for one hundred tacos!"

"One hundred tacos?" yelled Bogg. "Eh, I suppose it should do as a light snack."

"Oh! Tacos," gleeful squeaked Vee. "Count me in!"

"Hey, I want in on that, too," Cloud spoke up. The whole group cheered for the Mexican treats.

"Alright, guys. We'll head for the nearest one, right after I tie up one loose end," Jackdaw said while lighting a rocket with a bunny Thumper straped to it. In a brilliant blast, it sped skyward and out of sight.

"Jackdaw, couldn't you have returned Psybro's Hitmonlee some other way?" questioned Squishy.

"Psybro's? Returned? Uh-oh!" he guiltily scratched the back of his neck. "Oh well, off to hard shelled delights!"

"But, doesn't anyone care about all of that other stuff?" asked Cinder. "This adventure is barely started. We've only scratched the surface of so many things. Doesn't it bother you?" They all looked at each other, then back at him.

"No."

"Hey, were'd Cinder go?" Jackdaw looked around bewildered. "You haven't seen him, have you, Poppy?"

"Nope."

"You either, Squishy?" he queried.

"No."

"Or you, Bogg?"

"Belch."
