Chapter 2

Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, Mecha, and Stevens were running through corridors to make their way to the exit. ?Man! This place is like a maze!? Brock said in a frustrated tone.

Ash suddenly saw a mysterious creature leaping around very fast and that caught his attention, slowing him down, only to realise that an electronic door slammed itself up, making him stuck on one side of the door and his teammates stuck on the other.

That caught everyone?s attention. ?Pikapi!? Pikachu cried worryingly. He, Brock, Misty, and Stevens tried to break the door down but to no avail. Not even Mecha can break it down.

?Ash!? Misty cried in a worried tone. ?Are you okay??
?I?m fine!? Ash yelled in reply, hoping that they could hear him. ?But I can?t open this door!?
?C?mon, you guys!? Mecha said. ?We have to find another route!?

Realising that his friends and loved ones were running around to look for him, Ash decided to look for them as well. As he ran around into different rooms, he felt that something hit him in the face, knocking him down. Ash quickly got up and looked around in confusion. ?Who did that!?? he demanded.

Suddenly, to his surprise, a strange creature appeared. It had a human-like body but he had green reptile skin with zigzag patterns, it also had human feet and hands and also had a head of a familiar reptile pokemon but its eyes looked more sinister. Ash quickly took out his pokedex and pointed at the creature.

?Pokemon unidentified,? the pokedex said.

?Say what!?? Ash said in shock.

Without warning, the creature turned itself invisible again, making Ash vulnerable to any of its attack. ?Wait a minute,? Ash thought as he took out a pokeball off his belt. ?I?ve been in this situation before.?

?Sceptile, go!? Ash yelled as he tossed out his pokeball. A large green gecko pokemon materialised when he became released from his pokeball, and placed a small twig in his mouth.

?Let?s see,? Ash thought, being cautious. ?Kecleon has the ability to turn itself invisible? so that means that Sceptile and I will have to listen to the sounds.?

?Sceptile,? Ash said, catching Sceptile?s attention. ?This pokemon has turned itself invisible, don?t use your eyes to look for it, use your ears to listen to whatever sound it makes.?

Sceptile nodded to his trainer, as he understood his instructions and got himself ready for battle.

Both Sceptile and Ash closed their eyes with the intention of listening to the sounds that the creature was going to make.

They heard some clanging sounds nearby, catching Ash and Sceptile?s attention. They immediately opened their eyes and closed them again, waiting for another sound to come up. They then heard some light and quick footsteps coming towards them. ?Sceptile!? Ash yelled. ?Attack it now! Slam attack!?

Sceptile swung his tail towards the incoming attacker, but for some reason, it looked like he missed and was hit instead by the invisible creature in the stomach. ?So that mutant Kecleon is pretty quick too,? Ash thought as he gnarled his teeth.

Sceptile fell hard on the floor but quickly got back up. ?Try to keep calm, Sceptile,? Ash said. ?We still have to keep to our strategy.?

Sceptile and Ash closed their eyes again, waiting for the creature to attack again. As expected, the invisible creature made another sound as it attempted another attack but this time, Ash shouted out another command. ?Sceptile, Endure!?

Sceptile tensed himself as the creature hit him in the gut. Even with great impact the creature made, Sceptile showed no pain. After withstanding the attack, he instinctively went behind it, grabbed it and held it in a chokehold by wrapping his arms around, assumingly, its head. The creature became visible again as it lost its concentration of keeping itself invisible and fell to its knees.

After a long struggle of surviving the chokehold, the monster suddenly found the strength to stand up while Sceptile was still holding on, much to Ash and Sceptile?s surprise. ?What?s it going to do!?? Ash yelled.

The monster ran to a wall with Sceptile still hanging on its back neck. Before anyone could react what was going on the monster turned round and slammed Sceptile into the wall. ?Don?t give up, Sceptile!? Ash yelled. ?Stay tough and hang in there!?

The monster kept on slamming Sceptile onto the walls until Sceptile released the monsters neck, letting the monster free from his grasp. ?Sceptile! No!? Ash cried, upon seeing Sceptile releasing the monster.

Sceptile fell on its back looking very hurt as he held his hurt back. Ash took out Sceptile?s pokeball and was about to call him back. Upon seeing that, the creature zoomed over to him and knocked it out of his hand and punched him in the face, knocking him down.

Ash shook away his dizziness as he looked at the monster walking away from him and towards his injured Sceptile. Not wanting to get his pokemon hurt anymore, Ash ran over to the monster and forcefully turned him around and punched him in the face. The monster retaliated by grabbing him by the neck, choking him and holding him up in the air.

Sceptile slowly got up to his feet while watching his trainer being choked by the monster. Not wanting to see him getting tortured, he suddenly glowed brightly green and quickly walked over to the monster. Like Ash did, he forcefully turned the monster around and punched him into the face, causing a blinding flash of light upon impact. The creature released Ash?s neck and fell unconsciously to the floor.

After giving that devastating punch, the glow around Sceptile?s body slowly faded away and he fell to the floor, taking heavy breaths while holding his hurt back. Ash was also breathing heavily as he walked over to his gecko pokemon. ?Good job, Sceptile,? Ash said as he took out his pokeball. ?You need a long rest.?

As Sceptile materialised back into his pokeball, Ash heard footsteps. He turned round and saw a large man in Team Dark grunt suit coming his way. ?Great!? Ash said. ?More trouble.?

The grunt took a pokeball off his belt tossed it out. A Blaziken materialised as it came out of his pokeball. ?You shouldn?t have picked first, bud,? Ash said as he picked out a pokeball of his own. ?Go! Swellow!?

He tossed out the pokeball and a black, white and red bird pokemon materialised as it popped out of its pokeball. ?Swellow! Swellow!? it squawked. The two trainers and their respective pokemon stood ready for battle.

Chapter 3

The mysterious Team Dark grunt and his Blaziken stood calm and silent as they waited for Ash to call out his attack. ?The way this guy?s standing looks familiar,? Ash thought while looking at the grunt.

?Go, Swellow!? he yelled. ?Wing attack!?
?Fire Punch,? the grunt said calmly.

As Swellow flew straight at Blaziken, flames engulfed on Blaziken?s paws as he charged at Swellow. To Ash and Swellow?s surprise, Blaziken ran passed the bird pokemon. A bigger shock came on Ash?s face as he thought that Blaziken was going to attack him. But another surprise came on Ash?s face again as Blaziken ran passed him.

Ash looked behind him and noticed that Blaziken had caught something? or possibly nothing.

Blaziken swung his clenched paw forward and landed on someone or something invisible as it turned itself visible. It turned out to be another creature that looked like the previous attacker; only it had purple reptile skin.

It fell to its knees, holding its hurt gut. As it looked up, Blaziken glared at him with his fiery eyes before giving him a strong punch to the face, knocking him out.

Ash stared at Blaziken in shock and puzzlement. ?But how? why?? he said in puzzlement.

?Always know who your enemies are,? the grunt said, catching Ash?s attention. He took off his cap to reveal his identity. ?That blow that Sceptile delivered to the first attacker was a real ace, Ketchum,? he continued with a smile.

?What the?? Ash said in a shock. ?Black Jack!?! Where are the others and what?s with the costume!??

?Sorry about that, Ketchum,? Black Jack replied. ?The kids and I decided to take a rest for the night, so I went off for a little walk while the others took a nap, I spotted this base so I went inside. And the costume, good for entering and escaping.?

Ash then remembered what was also happening at that very moment when he called back Swellow into his pokeball. He explained the situation happening so far and that they must escape the building before the bomb explodes.

?Simple,? Black Jack said as he took out another pokeball. ?Go! Tyranitar!?

He tossed out his pokeball and Tyranitar materialised as he became released from his pokeball. ?Blaziken! Tyranitar!? Black Jack yelled. ?Smash that wall!?

Both of his pokemon ran and smash the wall, revealing a huge hole showing the outside of the building. ?Nice job, boys,? Black Jack said as he held up two pokeballs. ?Return!?

Black Jack took a look at how high the ground was from his location, he then turned around to look at Ash. ?It?s not that far down,? Black Jack said. ?But if you have to, use your flying pokemon or use any pokemon that knows Vine Whip.?

?Wow!? Ash thought in an impressed tone. ?That was? too easy.?

He turned around to make his exit. ?See you later, Ketchum,? he said.

He jumped out of the hole and landed on his feet outside the building. He then continued walking away, knowing that he would meet up with them at the final rendezvous point.

Back at Ash?s location, Misty, Brock, Stevens, Mecha and Pikachu finally caught up with him and noticed a huge hold on the wall. ?You made a hole!? Mecha said. ?Why didn?t I think of that??

?Good,? Stevens said. ?We can now make our escape.?

?Wait,? Ash said. ?We have two injured pokemon here.?

His teammates looked at the two unconscious monsters lying on the floor. ?What are they?? Brock asked in puzzlement.

?No need to worry about that now,? Stevens said. ?We have to take them with us.?

Ash took out one of his pokeballs and tossed them out. ?Meganium!? he yelled as he tossed it out. ?I choose you!?

A green dinosaur-like pokemon came out of his pokeball and yelled out her cry. ?Meganium,? Ash said. ?Lace your vines around us and lift us down to the bottom.?

Meganium did as she was instructed as she laced her vines around everyone?s bodies. ?We don?t have much time left,? Stevens warned, referring to the time bomb he planted earlier. ?We only have one minute left.?

Despite Stevens?s warning, Meganium and the others stayed calm as Meganium steadily placed the group on the ground floor of the outside of the building. ?Twenty seconds left,? Stevens warned as he checked his watch.

Ash immediately took out his pokeball and called Meganium back into her pokeball. ?Fifteen seconds left,? Stevens yelled. ?Let?s run for it!?

Everyone was running as far away as possible from the building, with the two mutated Kecleons being carried by Mecha.

5? 4? 3? 2? 1?

The base exploded and everyone lost their balance, falling to the ground. They all picked themselves up and looked at the destruction of the base. They all sighed with relief as Stevens took out his cell phone and dialled a number on it.

?Pyrite Police Station,? said a woman?s voice on the other phone.
?Detective Stevens here,? Stevens said. ?Requesting ambulance from the pokemon center, reporting two inured??

He looked at the two monsters, wondering what they were. ?Pokemon,? he finished.

?Make it three,? Ash said. ?Sceptile?s injured as well.?

?Did you hear that?? Stevens said. ?We have three injured pokemon.?

As the others took deep breaths after some running, Ash looked at the destruction of the base. Misty walked up to him and held him by the hand, catching his attention. They both exchanged smiles and then looked at the destruction of the building. ?Thanks, Black Jack,? Ash thought, remembering one particular past event. ?I owe you one.?

Meanwhile, the shadowy figure was viewing a monitor in a dark room. ?They destroyed my third base!? he snarled in frustration. He then smiled and let out an evil snigger. ?But still? I?ll have the last laugh? and he who laughs last, laughs loudest.?

Next episode: Wes and his team visits a casino called the Big Texan, looking to find some clues about the Team Dark leader?s plans.

Here's a theme song for this series...

Whatever by Our Lady Peace

There's no holding me back,
I'm not driven by fear, I'm just driven by anger.
And you're under attack,
I'm just climbing up slowly, I'm the one and only, I...
The tease, the ways you lie,
Stumble in your mind.
The fear, the hope inside,
They hit here.

But whatever you need, ever you got, ever you want,
I?ll take it back again.
Whatever you need, ever you got, ever you want,
I?ll take it back again.

There's no holding me back,
I'm not driven by fear, I'm just driven by anger.
And you're under attack,
I'm just climbing up slowly, I'm the one and only, I...

The tease, the ways you lie,
Stumble in your mind.
The fear, the hope inside,
They hit here.

But whatever you need, ever you got, ever you want,
I?ll take it back again.
Whatever you need, ever you got, ever you want,
I?ll take it back again.
But whatever you need, ever you got...

But whatever you need, ever you got, ever you want,
I?ll take it back again.
Whatever you need, ever you got, ever you want,
I?ll take it back again.
But whatever you need, ever you got, ever you want,
I?ll take it back again.
But whatever you need, ever you got...

Whatever you...
Whatever you want.
Whatever you...
Whatever you want.

Episode 6: Brawling and car chasing: Texan style

Chapter 1:

It was a few hours after one of the Team Dark bases was shut down in Andaa city, where Wes, Rui and others were. They were gathering at the entrance of the pokemon center, where Jenny received information from one of her informants via cell phone.

?What is it, officer Jenny?? Rui asked.
?I was just informed that we could find some information from a spy working for us,? Jenny replied. ?This spy?s named Ms. Laura Macey. She?ll be performing at a nearby casino called the Big Texan.?
?Laura Macey,? Wes mumbled to himself.
?What was that?? Rui asked.
?Nothing, just mumbling,? Wes replied, although this didn?t convince Rui as she had a suspicion that Wes might know this girl by the tone of his voice.

?Ooohh,? James said excitedly after hearing the word ?casino?. ?What to wear??
?Just stay away from skirts, James,? Wes said with a bored look on his face.

It didn?t take them long to get a change of clothes and making their way to the Big Texan casino. James was wearing an orange tuxedo and sunglasses while his partner, Jesse, wore a beautiful light purple dress. Wes was wearing a black and white tux while Rui held on to his arm wearing a white tanktop with a black furry coat over it and black leather mini skirt, with Plusle riding over her shoulder. Officer Jenny came in wearing a tight purple dress and red high-heeled shoes.

?Nothing can beat the smell of money flying all over the place,? James said gleefully.
?Either that or it?s the smell of senior citizens and bad smelling perfume,? Wes replied, sounding unimpressed.

In an office of the casino, a man in a Texan business suit and a cowboy hat sat at one side of a desk while a man in a black suit sat at the other. The man in the black suit handed over five photos, each containing faces of Wes, Rui, Jesse, James and officer Jenny. ?Under any circumstances, do not allow these five people to leave this place? kill them while you?re at it.?

?Humph,? the Texan said. ?Give me one good reason why I should do this in front of my customers and the public??

The man in the suit placed a briefcase on the desk and opened it, revealing a huge neat pile of cash. Convinced, the Texan said, ?No one calls me Rough Jake for nothin?. Heh heh.?

Wes, Rui, James, Jesse, and Jenny made their way to the barroom of the casino and a waiter greeted them politely. He led them to a suitable table that was big enough for five people and also had five chairs.

As they sat down, a man in a suit walked up onto the stage carrying a microphone. ?Ladies and gentlemen,? he cried enthusiastically. ?Welcome to the Big Texan! Now let me introduce to you, one of the most gorgeous ladies around, Ms. Laura Macey!?

Everyone applauded, showing their appreciation of the arrival of the upcoming performer. A beautiful woman walked up on stage, wearing a beautiful blue dress. ?How are you doin?, you little cute growlithe?? she said, sounding cute. Some of the men in the audience barked at her jokingly.

?If only Brock was here now,? Wes said as he scratched his head.

She started to sing using the microphone while the music was playing in the background?

I?m going out tonight, I?m feeling alright, gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise, even raise my voice, yeah I wanna scream and shout
No innovations, make no conditions, get a little outta line
I ain?t gonna act, a little precorrect, I only wanna have a good time​

The best thing about being a woman
Is the provocative to have a little fun yeah

As she came to the chorus, the back black curtain was lifted, showing a band full of men wearing black tight shirts, jeans and shoes.

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I?m a lady
Men, shirt, short skirts, oh, oh, oh
Really go wild, yeah, doing it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare, oh, oh, oh
I wanna be free, yeah, feel the way I feel
Man, I feel like a woman​

She took off her dress to show a more revealing outfit, making most men, like James, gaze at her dreamily. Jesse noticed this and nastily narrowed her eyes at him. ?She?s a big show-off!? Rui said in an annoyed tone. ?Isn?t that right, Wes??

She turned her attention to Wes, but he disappeared. ?Where did he go?? she asked as she looked around.

Wes crept to the back of stage where other performers were getting ready to get on stage, mainly women. He spotted a man wearing the same attire as the other men in the band, holding a guitar and was ready to go on stage to perform his guitar solo.

Wes couldn?t believe his luck as he crept up behind the man and grabbed him from behind.

Back on stage, Laura and the band were still performing the song.

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I?m a lady
Men, shirt, short skirts, oh, oh, oh
Really go wild, yeah, doing it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare, oh, oh, oh
I wanna be free, yeah, feel the way I feel
Man, I feel like a woman

After she finished singing that part, Wes jumped on stage wearing the black attire, playing the guitar like a professional, and dancing at the same time. His team-mates were surprised to see him on stage, with Rui getting angry.

?Psst, Laura? Wes whispered loudly, catching her attention. ?I gotta talk to you.?
?What? Wes?? Laura responded covering her microphone.
?Yeah, it?s something important,? Wes replied, still playing on the guitar. ?Where can we talk??

Chapter 2

After Laura and Wes finished performing their act on stage, they made their way to Laura?s dressing room. In the room was a desk made out of polished wood with a mirror, different types of make-up and a stool in front of the desk. The carpet on the floor was red and comfy. The upper walls had red and white striped wallpaper while the lower walls were completely red. The ceiling was white and a chandelier in the center of the ceiling. Next to one of the walls was a comfy black sofa, enough for three or four people to sit. There was also another door next to the desk.

?Phew, that was close,? she said in relief upon entry. ?That dancing you did was quite awkward but you?ve pulled if off in the end.?

She walked behind a dressing board. ?Do you mind turning around so I can change??
?Sure thing,? Wes replied, as he turned round.
?It has been a while,? Laura said, starting a conversation.
?Sure has,? Wes replied. ?What have you been doing recently??
?Performing at this casino,? she replied back. ?The men can be a little bit flirty but the pay?s good.?
?And this thing about Team Dark?? Wes asked.
?So you know?? She asked in response, knowing what Wes was talking about. She came out from behind the dressing board. She was now dressed in a leather suit like a female spy normally wears.

?So you?re also a spy for the police?? Wes asked in realisation.
?They?re paying me good for this occasion,? Laura replied, walking over to her mirror taking her makeup off. ?Usually after we?ve split up, I worked for leaders of criminal organisations and gangs.?

?I see that you?ve done well for yourself,? Wes replied as she placed away her makeup. ?Am I?m not only talking about your night job.?

Laura looked and smiled. ?Thanks,? she replied taking that remark as a compliment. They then heard some shouting outside.

?Let me in!? shouted a girl?s voice. ?He is in there!?

Wes walked over to the door and opened it, revealing five familiar figures trying to get in but were being held back by security guards, much to his surprise. ?Wes, there you are!!? Rui yelled. ?Get these freaks to let go of us!?

?It?s okay, boys!? Laura shouted from the background. ?They?re friends!?

The security guards released them and they entered the room. Upon entry, they noticed Laura in the suit. ?Laura,? Jenny said. ?Have you got the information??

?Yes,? Laura replied and handed over a card to her. On one side, it had red patterns and on the other was a letter Q on two corners with a diamond pattern underneath, most of the side had a weird picture of two upper bodies of a women drawn together with a crown of each head.

?This isn?t information!? Jesse complained as he grabbed the card. ?This is a queen of diamonds! What kind of sick joke is this!??

?It?s hidden, dimwit,? Wes said. ?Spies always have a knack of hiding things, just in case it falls into the wrong hands.?
?There?s some information behind this card,? Laura explained.
?It?s not really behind anything,? Rui said, being a little confused.

Suddenly, a voice of a Texan was heard. ?We all know ya?ll in there!!? he shouted. ?Say your prayers!?

?They know something!? Laura warned. ?You guys better get outta here!?

Wes and his teammates did as they were told as they ran out of the other door. Three men came crashing into the room. One of them was medium built and was wearing a Texan business suit and a cowboy hat, that man was none other than Rough Jake. Two other men were wearing the same attire but they were quite larger.

?Take care of that girl!? Jake ordered as he chased the others.
?Sure thing, boss!? one of the larger men yelled.

The two men were about to grab Laura but she leapt and grabbed onto the chandelier and kicked both of them in the face, knocking them out. She then let go of the chandelier and landed on her feet. ?That was? too easy,? she said in an impressed tone.

Meanwhile, Wes, Rui and Jenny were making their escape as they were running to the entrance. ?Who has the card?? Jenny asked.

They made an immediate stop. ?Well I don?t,? Wes said.
?Neither do I,? Rui said.
?Plusle,? Plusle squeaked.
?Then? who does?? Jenny asked.

At another location of the building, Jesse and James were also attempting to make their escape and noticed a ladder that led to the upper deck of the casino. ?Women and children first!? Jesse yelled.
?I agree!!? James said in a cowardly tone as he shoved Jesse out of the away, he quickly grabbed the ladder and started climbing ahead of her.

As they got to the upper deck, James was leading the way until a boxing glove, out of nowhere, punched him in the face, knocking him down, much to Jesse?s shock.

James shook his head to gain consciousness and saw a pokemon wearing strange purple clothing. It had thin legs and arms with a punching glove on each arm.

?A hitmonchan!? James yelled as he quickly got back up.
?Now that?s what I?m talkin? about, you punk!? a large man shouted in a Texan accent, who was also wearing a cowboy suit. It turned out that he was one of Jake?s men.

?Don?t just stand there, James!? Jesse yelled. ?Use Cacnea or something!?
?Oh right!? James replied in realisation as he took out a pokeball. ?Go! Cacnea!? he yelled as he chucked it out.

Cacnea became released from his pokeball and gave James a big friendly hug, making him scream in pain. ?Cacnea!? He screamed. ?Pin missile attack!?

Cacnea leapt off James and shot numerous pins out of his thorns but Hitmonchan successfully defended himself by knocking away each one.

?Hitmonchan!? the man yelled. ?Mega Punch attack!?

The punching pokemon?s glove glowed vigorously as he slammed it right in Cacnea?s face, knocking it back into James?s face, knocking him down also.

Cacnea quickly recovered as it leapt of its trainer?s face. Seeing his unconscious face, Cacnea?s face turned red with anger. The man started laughing. ?Wot?cha gonna do?? he taunted. ?Run over to ya mommy??

That made it even angrier and it started to glow. As James gained consciousness, he looked at his glowing pokemon as it began to change shape.

?It?s? evolving!!? James cried as tears of joy came flowing out of his eyes.

Cacnea transformed into a larger pokemon. Its arms and legs have gotten longer and wider as it had a strange mane shaped like a pyramid on its head. ?Cacturne!!? it cried.

?Cacturne,? James cried, still being happy. ?I?m so happy.?

Cacturne turned his attention to Hitmonchan as it prepared itself for battle. ?Go, Cacturne!? James yelled. ?Needle Arm!?

?Hitmonchan! Fire Punch attack!? the man yelled.

Hitmonchan?s glove engulfed in flames as he aimed his punch at Cacturne, but Caturne dodged the attack as he punched Hitmonchan in the face with its thorned paw, making it wincing in pain holding its hurt face.

Cacturne continued punching Hitmonchan about in the body and face. ?That?s not boxing!!? Jesse yelled. ?Bite its ear!!?

Cacturne finally finished its attack as it landed a heavy punch on Hitmonchan?s face, sending him flying back to its trainer. The man and his pokemon fell over the barricade and into one of the gambling tables, making the gamblers complain.

?We did it, Cacturne!? James cried happily as he got his pokeball out. ?But we got no time to celebrate! Return!?

Cacturne was zapped back into its pokeball and James looked at it happily. ?James!? Jesse?s voice yelled. ?Help me out here!?

James turned around to see Jesse struggling to get away from another one of Jake?s henchmen. ?Hey!? he yelled as he took the card out of his pocket. ?I?m the one who got the card, not her!?

Realising what he said, sweatdrops appeared on his and Jesse?s heads. ?Whoops,? he said. The henchman released Jesse and chuckled as he held James at the barricade.

?I?ll take that playing card!? he said as he snatched the card away from him.

?It?s not that easy!? James replied as he kicked the man where the sun doesn?t shine, making him drop the card and wince in pain. James looked at the card floating downwards towards one of the gambling tables.

?Don?t just stand there, James!? Jesse yelled. ?Go and get it!?

With slight hesitation, James jumped on the barricade and then jumped towards the card, attempting to catch it but to no avail as he fell and crashed into another gambling table, followed by being yelled at by another bunch of unsatisfied gamblers.

Wes spotted the card floating towards another gambling table and rushed towards it. Unlucky for him, it landed in a small card-shuffling machine, being watched by a card dealer.

He took out a five-dollar note out of his pocket and placed it on the gambling table. ?C?mon, boys and girls!? the card dealer said enthusiastically. ?Place your bet, being lucky?s your test! Everyone?s a winner! ?Well, not everyone.?

?Here?s ma money!? a gambler wearing a tuxedo said as he placed a couple of plastic coins on the table. ?Now play!?

?Card, sir?? the card dealer asked Wes as he gave him two cards.
?Hit me!? Wes replied.
?No!? the card dealer said. ?You need to look at your cards first, son! Or are you as slow as a Slowpoke??

Wes looked at his cards and they revealed to be two aces, one of them being a diamond, another being a club. ?Hit me,? He replied as he placed the cards down.

?Hey!? the impatient gambler complained. ?Hit me first!?
?Wait your turn, sir,? the card dealer said as he gave Wes another card, turning out to be a five of spades.

?Hit me,? Wes said again, still looking for the queen of diamonds that Laura gave him and his group, but still no luck.

As the hitting continued, the gambler was getting more impatient as he continued shouting at the dealer to hit him. Having enough, the card dealer gave the gambler a small frown and hit him on the head with a small mallet, making him wince in pain. ?You?re the boss,? he said.

He then turned his attention to Wes, who saw the dealer hitting the impatient gambler on the head. ?Card, sir?? the dealer asked.

?Hit me,? Wes said, hoping that the card would be card he?s looking for. As he hoped, the dealer placed the queen of diamonds on the table.
?Twenty one!? the dealer yelled excitedly. ?We have a winner!?
?Thanks!? Wes yelled as he noticed more of Jake?s men running towards him. ?But keep the five dollars!? he continued as he quickly snatched the card and made his exit.

Chapter 3

Rui, Plusle and Jenny were outside of the casino to look for a car. Jenny took out her police badge and was about to run up to one of the driven cars. But to their surprise, a huge car drove up to them and it turned out to be Laura driving it, much to Rui?s annoyance.

?Guys!? Laura called. ?Where are Wes and the others??
?They?re still inside,? Jenny replied.

They heard some running footsteps and turned their attention to them. It was Wes, Jesse and James running out of the casino as Rough Jake and his henchman were chasing them.

?Get inside, quick!? Laura warned.

Wes and his teammates did as they were told as they quickly got inside the car, with Wes quickly switching places with Laura, making Wes take the driver?s seat. ?Huh? Why is Wes taking the wheel?? Rui asked.

?Wes is a better risk taker than I am,? Laura replied.
?Risk taker!?? James and Jesse yelled in unison in a scared tone.

Wes harshly stepped on one of the pedals, driving the car at high speed, enough to make his teammates? scream. But that didn?t stop Rough Jake as he took a car of his own and also drove at high speed, along with his henchmen.

It wasn?t easy for Wes to drive at high speed, as he had to drive in different lanes and passing different vehicles, still he kept his cool. Jenny looked through the back window and saw the chasing car closing in. ?They?re closing in on us, Wes!? she warned.

?I see them,? Wes replied as he looked in the mirror at the side of the car.

Jake?s car caught up with them as they drove to the left side of Laura?s car and one of Jake?s henchmen held a stick of dynamite and lit it up. ?What? Dynamite?? James yelled. ?I don?t want to be blasted off again!!?

?Don?t worry,? Wes said confidently as he looked to his right, seeing another lane packed with different vehicles. ?I thought of an idea.?

Wes quickly drove to his right and managed to squeeze through small spaces that the cars on the road were making, much to his comrades? surprise. ?Wes! I never knew you could do that!? Rui yelled in amazement.
?Plusle!? Plusle cried happily.
?Is that your girlfriend, Wes?? Laura asked, which neither of them answered but they showed small blushes on their faces.

Meanwhile, back at Jake?s car, his henchman was still holding the dynamite. ?Throw it out the window!? Jake yelled in a scared and desperate tone. ?Throw it out! Throw it out!?
?But innocent people could be hurt,? his henchman replied innocently.
?Yeah, it?ll send the wrong message to children,? his other henchman said.
?What!?? Jake yelled in shock. ?This fanfic?s PG to PG13!?

Upon saying that, the dynamite exploded, making their clothes burnt and covering them with dirt. ?You two owe me a new suit and hat!!? Jake yelled angrily.

Back at Wes and the others, Wes made an immediate stop next to a pavement. ?You guys okay?? Wes asked his teammates. They were taking deep heavy breaths upon having to be in the same car with the risk taker.

?Yeah, we?re okay,? Rui replied with a small assuring smile.
?Let?s get out of here then,? Wes said as he was about to drive away when suddenly Jake?s car drove in front of Laura?s car, much to Wes and his teammates? shock.
?Hey! Weren?t they behind us?? Laura asked.

Before anyone could answer, Jake was driving his car straight at Laura?s and Wes quickly turned round and drove away while Jake gave chase. After some long chasing, they ended driving into a small alley, enough space to fit in two cars.

Wes smiled confidently as he looked at a dead end wall. ?Just a suggestion,? he said. ?But those of you who doesn?t want me to smash into that wall, say ?aye??.

Scared, everyone let out a big and long ?AAAAAYYYYYYYEEEEE!?

?The ?ayes? have it,? Wes said with a smirk as he quickly and harshly stepped on another pedal to make the car immediately stop. Although Wes stopped the car, Jake didn?t stop his as he continued driving and inadvertently drove passed Laura?s car and smashed his into the wall.

?Well, what do you know,? Wes said, as the others stared at the smashed car in awe. ?He fell for it.?

He drove his car away and out of the alley, as the smashed car was no longer able to move.

?That?s weird,? the henchman said, who was safely strapped to his seatbelt, so were the others. ?The airbag didn?t go off.?
?I don?t believe this!? Jake yelled stressfully as he banged the driving wheel. As he continued complaining, the airbag popped out of their respective compartments and squashed both Jake and his henchman, making them squirm and shouting out various things.

Sometime later, Wes and the others made it outside the city. They decided to take a breather. Jesse and James were making some kebabs over a small campfire, Jenny was making a phone call and Rui couldn?t stop noticing Wes and Laura talking to each other, much to Plusle?s concern.

Rui walked over to them, wanting to know what they?re talking about. ?Hey, guys,? she said, catching their attention. ?What?cha talking about??
?Just catching up on old times,? Wes replied.
?So you two know each other?? Rui asked as she pointed at them.
?Yeah, we used to be partners working for Team Snagem, nothing more than that,? Laura replied. ?But then we decided to go our own ways.?
?Oh, I see,? Rui said in an understanding sort of tone.
?By the way?? Laura continued. ?Wes has mentioned a lot about you.?
?He has?? Rui asked with hopeful tone in her voice.
?No, I haven?t,? Wes said, showing a small blush.

?Sorry to break up the chatting,? Jenny said as she placed away her cell phone. ?But who has the card??

?Oh yeah,? Wes said in realisation as he took the card out of his pocket. He then looked at his former partner in crime. ?Now what do you mean when you said about the information behind this card??

Rui looked at the card that Wes was holding and spotted something. ?Wait a minute,? she said as she took the card away from him, just before Laura was about to answer.

She took a closer look and started to peel the card into two. ?It?s another card!? Rui said in shock. Everyone gathered around her and looked at the other card, which a picture of the spaceship.

?A spaceship?? Rui asked. ?What?s this for??
?That?s all the information I can find,? Laura confessed. ?The leader has some knack for hiding his plans.?
?Good work, Rui? Wes said proudly as he placed his hand on Rui?s shoulder. ?You?ve solved the puzzle.?
?Thanks, Wes,? Rui replied happily.

After a night?s rest, Laura and her friends decided to part ways. Each person shook Laura?s hand. When Wes was shaking hers, Laura said, ?Take good care of her, Wes.?

Wes smiled in response, which meant, ?I will?.

Upon leaving, James?s face showed that he forgotten something. ?Wait! I forgot someone! Everyone!? he said excitedly as he took out his pokeball. ?Meet Cacturne!?

Cacturne became released from his pokeball once again, yelling out its name. It turned to look at his beloved trainer. ?I think I owe you something,? James said happily as tears of joy came flowing out of his eyes. ?Give me a hug!?

As James and Cacturne gave each other a great big hug, James felt Cacturne?s thorns stinging his entire body as he let out a loud painful scream.

?Ouch,? Wes said, noticing the pain.

Next episode: Black Jack and his team meet three members of Team Dark who also claim to be also warriors of honour.

Finally! A review! Thanx, ET. (Hehe! ET)

Episode 7: Evildoers of honour

Chapter 1

It was a bright afternoon. Black Jack, May and Isaac were battling with their respective pokemon, Metagross, Beautifly and Manectric, against a number of Team Dark grunts with their respective pokemon in a deserted village, containing a huge roman coliseum. Max was watching from a safe distance. So far, Black Jack, May and Isaac were gaining the upper hand, but Black Jack noticed that someone was missing. ?Carry on without me, Metagross,? Black Jack said.

Metagross nodded back in response and continued battling while Black Jack walked to a small rock. He found Meowth, one of his teammates, hiding behind it like a coward.

?What are you doing there, you lazy bum?? Black Jack snarled as he took off his sunglasses, showing a moody frown.

?You wouldn?t hurt a poor and weak pokemon, would ya?? Meowth pleaded nervously. Black Jack responded by grabbing Meowth by the back.

?Body Slam attack!? he yelled as he tossed Meowth out like a spear.

?I don?t know that attack!? Meowth cried as he flew like a missile, missing his other teammates and slamming into the grunts and their pokemon, knocking them out but became dizzy after the impact.

?Nice job, Meowth,? Isaac said as he took out his pokeball. ?Biggest move you?ve hit so far? in fact that?s the only move you?ve hit since we?ve started our mission.?

?Return!? the three pokemon trainers yelled, as they returned their respective pokemon back into their pokeballs.

As they were about to leave the village, a bunch of footsteps were heard. ?Oh, great,? Black Jack moaned. ?More Team Dark reinforcements.?

They turned their attentions to the footsteps. And sure enough, it was another bunch of Team Dark grunts. ?This is getting boring now,? Black Jack said with a bored tone in his voice. ?How many more of these punks do we have to deal with to get out of here??

?Can you blame them?? Max replied. ?There is a saying that there are strengths in numbers.?

As they were about to battle (apart from Meowth who was creeping away from them), a spear was coming towards them. ?Don?t move,? Black Jack said.

?Huh?? Isaac and May replied as he suddenly stopped throwing his pokeball out, not understanding what their team-mate meant.

The spear flew passed them and landed right in front of the incoming grunts. ?Oh, so that?s the reason why,? Isaac said, now getting Black Jack?s hint.

?Who dares!?? one of the grunts demanded.
?What was that?? Black Jack asked, also wanting to know.

?Team Dark,? said a man?s voice with a serious tone.

Black jack?s team turned round to see three different creatures that they?ve never seen before. ?What!?? Isaac yelled in shock. ?More freak shows!??

One of the creatures had a lower body and head of a Rapidash but it also had an upper muscular body of a man. Its mane and tail were replaced by fire. ?A true warrior never takes an unfair advantage over his opponents,? he said.

?Says you,? shouted another grunt.

?Correct,? the creature replied. ?Says an honourable and powerful warrior, for I am the one you call Centurion!?

Another creature also had the lower body of a rapidash but had the body and head of an Alakazam. ?Anyone who dares dishonour the ways of a warrior shall be punished, for I am the one you call Mysterious,? he said as he aimed his gigantic spoon at the grunts.

The third creature also had the lower body of a rapidash but he had four arms, a muscular built body and head like a Macahmp. ?Anyone who breaks the code of honour would only break themselves, for I am the one they call Brutus,? he said as he aimed his long axe at the grunts.

?Forget their appearances, you guys,? Black Jack said with a small frown. ?This ?warrior? and ?honour? stuff is sad.?

?Out of the way!? the other grunt shouted impatiently. ?We have to take care of these punks.?

?We?ll take it from here,? Centurion said. ?You all had you?re your chances. Now it?s our turn.?

?What!?? Another grunt said in a shocked tone. ?You can?t take credit from taking those guys??

?Back off!? the first grunt shouted. ?If they want to the credit, they can have it! Didn?t you guys know that these three could fight like champions??

?Black Jack, you?re a champion right?? May asked, only to realise that he wasn?t paying attention to her as he was concentrating suspiciously on the three creatures. ?Er, Black Jack,? May said, trying to get his attention but Black Jack still ignored her.

?Right, team!? yelled the grunt. ?Move out!?

The other grunts did as they were told as they ran away from the scene. Centurion walked over to his lance and pulled it out of the ground. The creatures turned to Black Jack?s team. ?Black Jack, May, Max and Isaac,? Centurion said. ?I?ve heard so much about you four.?

?Four of us?? Isaac said in a confused tone. ?Wait a minute! Where?s Meowth!??

They looked round and spotted Meowth still tip-toeing away. ?Allow me,? Mysterious said as he tossed his gigantic spoon out, making it land right in front of Meowth, stopping him in his tracks.

?Meowth, get back here!? Isaac yelled.

?I was just looking for an escape route,? Meowth murmured as he tiptoed backwards.

?So,? Black Jack said as he was still looking at the three creatures. ?You three freaks also working for Team Dark??

Centurion?s eyes narrowed as he attacked Black Jack with his lance. ?Black Jack!!? May yelled alarmingly while everyone else gasped.

But Black Jack didn?t even flinch, still standing confidently as Centurion stopped his lance, millimetres away from Black Jack?s face. Centurion slowly moved his weapon away as he and Black Jack gazed at each other with arrogant eyes.

?Come,? Centurion said guiding Black Jack and his team-mates into the coliseum, followed by Brutus and Mysterious.

They stopped when they got to the center of the coliseum. ?We have a challenge for you, Black Jack,? Centurion said.

?Listening,? Black Jack replied with slight interest.

?We have three members and you have five members on yours,? Centurion began. ?You must select three of your best pokemon trainers. One member from each team will battle a round each. If the losing member of the team is defeated, the opposing team gets a point. Then the next member from their respective team will battle. The team with the highest points wins.?

?Not a bad idea,? Isaac said.

?If you win, you go free,? Mysterious said. ?If you lose, we will decide your fate.?

?Fair enough,? Black Jack said as he turned to look at the little cat pokemon. ?Meowth, you?re first.?

?Dah!!? Meowth yelled in shock. ?Why me!??

?We can?t have you lazing about all the time,? Black Jack said. ?Would you rather be stomped by me or these freaks??

?I?d rather be stomped by Jesse,? Meowth replied nervously.

?You insult for a pokemon!!? Isaac yelled angrily at Meowth?s face. ?Where?s your pride!!??

?I don?t have any,? Meowth replied, still being nervous.

A Tyranitar ran up to Meowth and roared at him, scaring him out of his wits. ?All right! All right!! I?ll do it!!? Meowth yelled in a scared tone.

?Good,? Black Jack said walking over to Tyranitar. ?Isaac, you wanna be next??

?You?re the boss,? Isaac replied with a smile. ?I?ll do my best.?

?Guess I?m third,? Black Jack said.

?Hey,? May said, feeling a little left out. ?What about me??

Black Jack turned his attention to May. ?I know how strong you are, travelling around with Ash and me and all,? he replied. ?But we?re gonna need you and your pokemon in full health in case of a Team Dark sneak attack.?

?Y?know, he?s got a point, May,? Max said. ?Sometimes you got to think with your head, not always from your instincts.?

Listening to Max?s theory, Isaac noticed how smart Max was during the mission. ?Hey, Black Jack! A dollar says that Max becomes a league champion on his first league,? he said jokingly.

?Heh, you?re on,? Black Jack said, catching the joke as he turned to the opposition. ?Centurion, we?re done now.?

?We have also decided,? Centurion said. ?Mysterious will be first to face your team, then Brutus, and then I.?

?I guess it?ll be you and me in the possible third round,? Black Jack replied.

?I?ll be looking forward to it, Black Jack,? Centurion said. ?But you?ll be at a losing end.?

Chapter 2

Black Jack, Max, May and Isaac sat in spectators? gallery of the coliseum, waiting for Meowth and Mysterious to battle in the first round, while Centurion and Brutus stood at the other side of the coliseum with a gong between them.

Mysterious was first of the two to make his way out into the arena, and then it was Meowth who was still looking very nervous.

?Don?t worry, Meowth!? Isaac yelled, encouraging him, as did Max and May. ?You?ll do fine! Just be a little confident and do your best!?

?I can hear a lie detector exploding,? Black Jack said smugly. Suddenly, he heard his cell phone ring and answered it. ?What?? he asked in an uninterested tone, knowing who it was.

?Pursue victory with honour!? Centurion yelled as he raised his lance. ?Begin!? he yelled as he pointed at the two combatants.

As Brutus sounded the gong, starting the match, Meowth still stood scared while Mysterious confidently looked at him.

?I?ll offer you to make the first move,? Mysterious said.
?Gee? tanks,? Meowth replied nervously.

Meowth then gathered up his courage as he ran towards while Mysterious still stood where he was. Meowth leapt into the air, as he was about to make his attack, much to Isaac?s need to shout out?

?Meowth!? he yelled. ?Don?t attack straight ahead!?

?Oh no!? Meowth thought nervously, as he knew what was coming next.

Mysterious swung his gigantic spoon to knock Meowth out into the air like he was a baseball. ?Looks like I?m blasting off alone!? Meowth cried, as he became out of sight. But he fell back into the stadium and crash-landed on a spectator seat behind Black Jack, who was still on his cell phone, much to the shock of Max and May.

?Hmm? Oh, it was only Meowth losing a battle,? Black Jack said, still speaking into the cell phone. ?But unfortunately, Jenny, he?ll be fine. See you, later.?

?The winner? Mysterious!? Centurion yelled as he pointed his lance to his comrade while Black Jack placed away his cell phone.

?I?m next,? Isaac said as he got off his seat, looking at the unconscious Meowth.

A few minutes later, Isaac came onto the battlefield, as did Brutus. Showing no fear, Isaac took out his pokeball off his belt. ?Go! Heracross!? he yelled as he tossed it out.

The blue horned insect pokemon materialised out of his pokeball and yelled out his name, getting ready to battle. ?Pursue victory with honour!? Centurion yelled as he held up his lance. ?Begin!?

Mysterious hit the gong, letting the battle commence.

?Heracross!? Isaac yelled as he pointed at the opposition. ?Megahorn attack!?

Heracross opened his wings and quickly flew directly towards Brutus, aiming his horn as it glowed vigorously.

Brutus also charged at Heracross, ready to swing his axe. He swung his axe at Heracross but missed as Heracross flew up high into the air.

Brutus looked up at Heracross, predicting what he was going to do next. Heracross dived at Brutus using his Megahorn attack but missed as Brutus moved out of the way.

?Right,? Isaac thought as he clenched his fist in a determined way. ?New strategy.?

?Heracross!? he yelled. ?Do the runner!?

Heracross nodded at his trainer?s instructions and charged at Brutus once again. Brutus prepared himself to counter what attack that Heracross was going to use. As Heracross got closer, Brutus attempted to slam his axe on top of Heracross but missed as Heracross flew passed him, making him hit the ground instead.

As Brutus turned round, Heracross stuck his tongue at him while pulling a funny face, which made Brutus angry and began chasing him around the arena.

As the chasing continued, Heracross turned out to be faster than Brutus, who couldn?t catch up with him.

?Come on, Brutus, you?re more slower than a Slakoth,? Black Jack said, getting a little bit bored while Meowth was still unconscious.

Knowing that he couldn?t catch up, Brutus threw his axe. ?Heracross! Look out!? Isaac warned.

Heracross heard his trainer?s voice and looked back at the incoming axe. But to his surprise, the axe went over his head, missing him. Heracross let out a small laugh with closed tight eyes but ended slamming into the pole of the axe that landed in front of him.

Heracross became dizzy as he walked away from the axe. Brutus saw this as an opportunity to knock him out.

?Heracross!? Isaac yelled. ?Look out!?

But Heracross still stumbled as he walked towards Brutus as Brutus swung his fist towards him but missed as Heracross fell to the floor, inadvertently hitting one of Brutus?s legs, making him lose balance and hitting his body against the arena walls.

Heracross shook away his dizziness and saw Brutus in his weakened state. ?Now?s your chance!? Isaac yelled. ?Megahorn attack!?

Heracross?s horn glowed more vigorously than his last Megahorn as he charged at the staggered Brutus. With great impact, he slammed Brutus through the arena walls. Brutus slowly stood still feeling dizzy and then falling to the floor unconscious.

Both Mysterious and Centurion looked through the hole of the wall and saw Brutus knocked out on the floor. ?The winners? Isaac and Heracross!? Centurion yelled as he pointed at Heracross.

?Way to go, Heracross!? Isaac yelled happily.
?Heracro!!? Heracross yelled, also being happy.
?Well, well,? Black Jack thought in an impressed tone. ?Impressive strength.?

Knowing that it was Black Jack and Centurion next, they both looked at each other with narrowed eyes.

?This is it,? Black Jack thought. ?To save the kids, I gotta beat this guy.?

Chapter 3

Black Jack and Centurion were the next two combatants to enter the arena. ?C?mon, Black Jack!? Isaac yelled with encouragement, while Meowth was still unconscious from his battle with Mysterious. ?It?s all down to you now!?

Even with the encouragement he was getting, Black Jack showed only an expressionless face while Centurion showed confidence. ?It?s just you and me now, Black Jack,? he said.

?Before we start,? Black Jack said. ?How about we raise the stakes a little bit??

?I?m listening,? Centurion replied.

?I know that you are part of Team Dark, so don?t try to deny it,? Black Jack said. ?If I beat you, and I will, you and your cronies must give me all the information of your organisation.?

?But what if I win?? Centurion asked.

?If you win? Your organisation can have me,? Black Jack replied.

?Very well,? Centurion replied, agreeing to the stakes. ?As I am a warrior of honour and Team Dark, I vow to defeat you no matter what.?

?Enough with the honour stuff,? Black Jack thought as he lowered his head and closed his eyes in stress.

He opened his eyes and raised his head. ?So, how do you want to battle me?? he asked. ?Man to?? He stopped for a moment to think whether to call him a pokemon or not. He decided to call him that anyway. ?Pokemon? Or pokemon to pokemon??

?Humans are no match for me,? Centurion replied.

?I?ve wrestled a bunch of Ursaring once in my travels and I don?t see you as a threat, but have it your way. You?re going to find out why we humans call ourselves pokemon trainers.?

He took a pokeball off his belt. ?Nidoking! Let?s whip some!? he yelled as he tossed out his pokeball.

Nidoking materialised from his pokeball and let out a loud roar, motivating itself to battle. ?Did you expect that roar would intimidate me?? Centurion asked.

?It?s not the roar you should be worried about,? Black Jack said.

?Pursue victory with honour!? Brutus yelled as he held up his axe. ?Begin!? he yelled as he pointed his axe with Mysterious sounded the gong.

?Nidoking!? Black Jack yelled as he pointed at Centurion. ?Tackle attack!?

Nidoking did as he was told as he charged at Centurion while Centurion did the same. Centurion slightly lifted up his lance and attempted to stab the charging poison/ground pokemon with it, but missed as Nidoking dodged out of the way upon Black Jack?s command.

?Now! Mega punch attack!? Black Jack commanded.

Nidoking lifted up his clenched paw as he charged at Centurion again. Nidoking aimed his punch on Centurion?s gut but it got blocked when Centurion defended it with his staff. Centurion stumbled backwards as he felt the strength of Nidoking?s punch.

?Impressive, you two,? Centurion said.
?Back at ya,? Black Jack said.
?Nido,? Nidoking growled, agreeing with Black Jack.
?It has been a long while since I faced a worthy opponent,? Centurion said.

He threw his lance at Nidoking, aiming for his face at the speed of a speeding bullet. ?Deflect it back,? Black Jack commanded while remaining calm and confident.

So did Nidoking as he used his forelegs to hit the lance back at Centurion, who confidently caught it.

Centurion and Nidoking then walked round, stalking each other. Without warning, Centurion ran at Nidoking to stab him but Nidoking dodged each one, upon listening to Black Jack?s orders. Centurion then swung his lance but missed as Nidoking performed a back flip to escape the continuous attacks.

?Hmm, speedy,? Black Jack thought, while thinking of a strategy to counter his.

Centurion tossed out his lance again at Nidoking. ?Knock it aside!? Black Jack yelled.

As instructed, Nidoking used his paws to knock it away. But the lance was a distraction as Centurion came charging at him. ?Oldest trick in the book,? Black Jack said as he and Nidoking knew that Centurion was going to do that.

Centurion lowered his head and aimed his horn at Nidoking, who confidently grabbed it. Black Jack was about to shout out another command but to their surprise, Centurion was using his horn attack as a trap for Nidoking as he used his neck and back strength to throw Nidoking up into the air.

Shock came on Nidoking?s face as he was being thrown up into the air. But he gained back his senses as he somersaulted while intending to land on Centurion?s back.

Realising this, Centurion looked up in an attempt to grab his opponent or spike him with his horn. ?Dodge his hands and grab his horn!? Black Jack yelled.

Centurion missed as Nidoking did as he was instructed as he moved slightly away from his clutches and grabbed him by the horn, landing on his feet.

Centurion let out a loud grunt as he felt the pain of his horn being pulled. ?Go for the ride, Nidoking!? Black Jack yelled. Nidoking nodded as he jumped over Centurion?s head, using the horn for leverage. He landed on Centurion?s back as he held onto his horn, making him fall on his front.

Nidoking was still yanking back on Centurion?s horn, causing more pain on the horn and neck. But Centrution wasn?t near giving up as he got up on his feet and struggled to shake off Nidoking.

After a long struggle, Centurion finally got Nidoking off his back as Nidoking lost his grip on the horn. ?You?re finished!? Centurion snarled as he raised his hand as a strange energy glowed on the palm of his hand.

?Nidoking! Get out of the way!? Black Jack yelled.

But Nidoking became shocked as he looked at a huge fireball coming towards Centurion from behind. ?Nid Nidoking!? Nidoking yelled as he pointed at the incoming fireball.

The fireball landed a distance away behind Centurion, causing an explosion upon impact. He quickly stopped his attack and turned round to see what was going on.

To his horror, another huge fireball came shooting down on a part of the building and tons of huge bricks came falling down on his comrades. While he stared in shock, another fireball hit him in the back, sending him flying and crashing on the ground. Nidoking ran to his aid.

Black Jack saw another fireball coming towards his teammates. They let out a large scream in shock and horror, enough to wake Meowth up to see the incoming fireball, also screaming in fear. Acting fast, Black Jack tossed out his pokeball. ?Metagross! Use Hyper Beam!? he instructed.

The Iron Leg pokemon became released from his pokeball and yelled out its battle cry as he shot out two large light energy beams out of his eyes. The attack collided with the fireball and they exploded on impact.

?Hey! Who was that!?? Max yelled.
?Guess!? Isaac said with narrowed eyes as he looked up, knowing who it was.

?It?s not the roar you should be worried about,? Black Jack said.

?Pursue victory with honour!? Brutus yelled as he held up his axe. ?Begin!? he yelled as he pointed his axe with Mysterious sounded the gong.
Chapter 4

They looked up and saw a helicopter hovering over them, attempting to land into the coliseum. As they landed, one of the Team Dark grunts jumped out of the helicopter. ?You are such a fool, Centurion!? he yelled, catching the weakened Centurion?s attention, who was being helped up by Nidoking. ?We have grown tired of you and your ?fighting with honour? stuff! You?re working for Team Dark, not for justice! For that, you shall be punished for making a nonsense out of Team Dark!?

Centurion?s eyes became widened with shock. Why did his human comrades attack him while he was attempting to defeat his enemy? Why was his enemy helping him get to his feet?

?Well, to tell you something,? Black Jack shouted. ?You punks are already a joke to me!?

?You dare insult us?? shouted the grunt. ?Get them!?

Black Jack pointed his finger at his foes. ?Metagross!? he yelled. ?Blow them away with your Hyper Beam!?

Metagross?s eyes glowed as he began charging up his powers to the fullest.

?So you want to play a shooting game, eh?? the grunt shouted. ?Get ready to shoot them, men!?

Two of the grunts kneeled down to one knee and began charging up the powers of their bazooka weapons. ?Ready?? yelled the leading grunt. ?Aim? FIRE!?

?Shoot!? Black Jack ordered as Metagross shot out two humongous lights beams out of its eyes while the grunts also shot out their weapons. The two forces collided, creating a huge explosion upon impact.

?Now!? the leading grunt ordered. ?While Metagross regains its energy, I need two more of you to open fire.?

?Not so fast!? shouted a girl?s voice. ?Bulbasaur! Use your Razor Leaf!?

A bulbasaur jumped out of the smoke and shot out spinning leaves out of its back, knocking the weapons out of the grunts?s hands as May ran into the battle scene, along with Combusken, Munchlax and Beautifly. ?Now Combusken!? she shouted. ?Flamethrower!?

Combusken jumped into the air and shot a lick of flame at the grunts, distracting them as they jumped out of harm?s way as May called Beautifly out to use her Stun Spore. Beautifly as she flew up high in the air and fluttered her wings to scatter her dusts all over the grunts, paralysing them in the process as they inadvertently breathed in the dust.

?Thanks, May,? Black Jack said. ?At least you?ve saved some time for me. Now let?s smash that helicopter apart!?

Before anyone made a move, they heard another helicopter hovering over them. ?More of these!?? May yelled in an annoyed tone.
?If they think that I?m going to pay for their medical bill, they can forget it,? Black Jack, also feeling annoyed.

Meanwhile, back at the spectators? gallery, Meowth and Max were watching the action, with Max was yelling out encouragements to his sister. Little did they realise that two Team Dark grunts were creeping up on them from behind. ?Heracro!? yelled a hissy voice, catching the grunts? attention.

That also caught Max and Meowth?s attention, as they turned round. They turned to the voice?s attention, as did the grunts and they saw Heracross standing on top of a pillar. Without warning, Heracross leapt off the pillar and landed his body on top of the grunts, knocking them down. ?Nice body slam, Heracross!? Isaac said running from the battle scene and back to Max and Meowth.

(Author?s note: () = Pokemon translation)

While Black Jack and the others were still battling the grunts, Nidoking was tending to Centurion, who had his hand on his hurt back. He took his hand off his back, showing no pain as he stood up. ?(I don?t get it,)? Nidoking said. ?(Why do you call yourself a warrior of honour when you are fighting for the bad guys?)?

Centurion looked at the curious Nidoking. ?Like your friends, I also fought for the good of this world,? he answered, much to Nidoking?s shock.

-Flashback-

This village was a peaceful place to us, full of love and friendship towards others. Brutus, Mysterious and I were the only protectors of this town and no one caused any trouble because of that. Until one fateful day?

Team Dark invaded our village, looking for riches and strong pokemon like us, destroying everyone and everything that came their way. Many have died or escaped during the raid. Brutus and Mysterious struggled against our enemies but I never surrendered. Soon, I came face to face with a powerful but psychotic Machamp. Even though I knew what a Machamp looked like, he was wearing a mask covering mainly his mouth.

I fought long and hard against this strong opponent, but he was ruthless, relentless and powerful. Soon, I was defeated?


-End Flashback-

?The Team Dark leader acknowledged our strengths and used our DNA to increase our abilities,? he continued. He then looked at his hands. ?And turned us into monsters?? he whispered.

?(You guys ain?t monsters,)? Nidoking replied. ?(Those Team Dark punks are.)?

Centurion suddenly felt the pains on his back as he fell to his knees. Concerned, Nidoking intended to help Centurion. ?I?ve been hurt worst,? Centurion said, assuring him. ?You better see to that your friends succeed in defeating the grunts.?

Nidoking nodded in agreement as he ran to help Black Jack and the others to fend off the grunts.

As Centurion looked on with a smile on his face two familiar figures came over to him. ?Centurion,? said one of them.

Centurion turned his head round and saw two of his friends, Mysterious and Brutus, and showed a small smile. ?Alive and kicking I see,? he said.

?Indeed,? Mysterious replied as he looked at the battle scene. ?Alive is what we are, and the kicking is what we shall do!?

?My sentiments exactly,? Brutus said. ?We?ll show everyone on this battlefield how real fighters fight!?

They placed their weapons together in respect for each other. They then looked at the direction of the battle. ?CHARGE!!? the three creatures yelled simultaneously as they charged into battle.

Black Jack?s Feraligatr looked at their direction. ?Talk about crashing the party!? he thought as he raised his forelegs to defend himself.

?(Feraligatr!)? Nidoking roared as he helped Black Jack and the others knocked down one of the grunts. ?They?re not our enemies! Trust me!)?

That caught Feraligatr?s attention. ?(Not our enemies!?)? Feraligatr thought. ?(Okay Doke?)?

Having so much trust in his friend, yet cautious, Feraligatr slowly let his guard down and to his surprise, the three warriors ran passed him. The blue crocodile stood for a few moments with an anime sweatdrop on his head. ?(That was weird?)? Feraligatr growled to himself. ?(First, they tried to kill us, now they?re fighting with us),?

He ran back into the battle. ?(I wish they?d make their minds up),? He growled in an annoyed tone.

The warriors and Black Jack?s team were dominant in fending off the grunts of Team Dark. But still being suspicious, Black Jack decided to test the warrior?s trust. He spotted Centurion running towards another grunt with his weapon and saw as an opportunity to test Centurion?s trust.

As Centurion was about to hit the grunt with his lance, Black Jack ran into the grunt?s direction and knocked him down with a punch to the face. Centurion quickly noticed this and stopped his attack millimetres away his chest.

Black Jack showed a small smile, showing that he now trusted Centurion and his friends. He picked up the grunt that he knocked down. ?This was yours, right?? he asked, much to the grunt?s confusion.

He shoved the grunt towards Centurion and Centurion held his lance horizontally, hitting he grunt?s neck with the pole of his lance, knocking him down.

?We?ve lost the advantage!? One of the grunts yelled. ?We must retreat now!?

The other grunts did as they were instructed as they made their back to the helicopters. ?Hey!? Black Jack yelled. ?Let us help you out!?

?Hey!? May yelled. ?Me too! Combusk??

To her shock, there were two Blaziken sending the other grunts away. ?Could it be that? my Combusken evolved into Blaziken!?? May cried happily.

?Let?s send those punks flying!? Black Jack said, which May agreed to.

?Blaziken!? they both yelled in unison. ?Mega Kick attack!?

Both Blaziken engulfed in flames as they ran towards the two helicopters, much to the grunts? dismay. They both leapt into the air and kicked a helicopter each like soccer balls, sending them flying until they were out of sight.

?Victory!? Brutus yelled happily as he raised his axe in triumph while the others also celebrated their victory.

May ran over to her Blaziken and gave it a huge hug in happiness, which Blaziken also returned. Others also congratulated May?s Blaziken with its evolution, with Max being the most enthusiastic. ?One of us should come up with a nickname for one of our Blaziken,? Black Jack suggested.

Black Jack?s Blaziken held his paw up, signalling that he had a suggestion. He kneeled down and wrote down four letters that spelt out ?Chan?.

?Is that what you wanna be called from now on?? Black Jack asked, which his Blaziken responded with a nod. ?I guess that?s what his old man used to call him before he died,? Black Jack thought to himself theoretically in a sad tone.

He then turned his attention to Centurion who was not showing a happy face, despite their victory. ?Why the moody face?? Black Jack asked.

Centurion looked to the skies. ?I know that this will not be the last time we meet Team Dark, as long as they exist, we?ll never live in peace,? he said.

?That?s where we come in,? Isaac said as he pointed his thumb to himself. ?When we kick Team Dark?s butt, you guys will be free from them meaning that you can do anything you want? except get in trouble.?

?You guys are already free,? Black Jack said. ?But we haven?t finished our match yet.?

?There?s more to life than battling,? Centurion said. ?For you have a mission that you must complete.?

He opened up one of the ends of his lance and out slid a small orange crystal into his hand, much to Black Jack?s team?s curiosity. ?What is that?? Max asked.

?I am not certain myself,? Centurion answered. ?We were ordered by the leader to search for this. Maybe he knows what this is.?

He handed the crystal over to Black Jack. ?At first, we trusted that Team Dark would bring peace to our world,? he said. ?But now that they saw us as pawns, instruments for destruction, we now leave you this. Help us save the world that we all belong in.?

?You?re not coming with us?? May asked, as Black Jack took the crystal.

?No,? Centurion answered. ?For we must protect? our home.?

?Can?t blame him, I?d never leave my yard unattended,? Black Jack said.

?Don?t worry, Centurion,? Isaac continued as Black Jack tossed the crystal up into the air, catching it confidently and then placing it in his pocket. ?We?ll beat those Team Dark punks like there?d be no tomorrow!?

Everyone in Black Jack?s team set off on Black Jack?s motorbike again to the rendezvous point as they waved their goodbyes to the three former members of Team Dark. As they were out of sight, Black Jack kept on the wondering of how special this crystal could be?


Next Epsiode: Ash's team made it to the rendezvous point, where they'd found more of Team Dark's plan... not to mention more trouble from them.

Episode 8: Lose a little, get a little something back

Chapter 1

Ash and his team arrived into Phanec city. Unlike most towns, this one looked the most pleasant and clean. Upon arrival, a cell phone was ringing from Stevens?s pocket. ?Excuse me,? he said as he walked away.

?Hmm,? Brock said as he sniffed. ?Nice scent.?

?Pika,? Pikachu squeaked, agreeing with Brock.

?Wonder where it?s coming from?? Ash asked.

?Oh, it?s coming from the flowers,? Mecha replied. ?This city is famous for being so elegant and beautiful? although I?m not a big fan of those things.?

?Ash wasn?t a fan of those things until he asked me out,? Misty said.

?And you were real scrawny about it,? Ash mumbled to himself.

?What did you say!?? Misty yelled as she raised her hands in an attempt to strangle the frightened Ash until?

?No time to waste,? Stevens said, as he walked back to his group and placed away cell phone. ?Remember, this is the rendezvous point and I got a call from Jenny. She said me that we?ll be meeting one of our informants at the cinema in half an hour.?

?Okay,? Ash replied. ?But first, we need to get to the pokemon center. Pikachu could use a few snacks.?

?Not a bad idea,? Stevens said. ?Plus, we?ll need a change of clothes.?

Fifteen minutes later, which could?ve been shorter if Brock would?ve stopped flirting with the pretty nurse at the pokemon center, they visited the cinema, expecting to meet their informant. Upon arrival inside the cinema, the place looked rather posh and luxurious, such as red, black, and white patterned carpet and plants placed to both sides of the doors.

They were wearing the same attire (except Mecha), as they wore a long black leather jacket each, with matching black jeans and t-shirts.

?We?re gonna have to buy ourselves some tickets,? Stevens whispered to the others. ?We can?t give ourselves away just in case Team Dark are onto us.?

They walked to the information booth and picked up a leaflet, which showed a list of different movies being shown in different theatres.

?The movie we?re looking for is called ?The Messenger,? Stevens said as he looked into the leaflet. ?Which is in theatre seven.?

?The Messenger?? Ash said. ?I heard that it got low ratings and the critics hated it, I don?t know why we would want to see that movie.?

?That?s the reason why we?re meeting our informant there,? Stevens said. ?There?d be less chance of Team Dark finding us there, plus there?s less chance of risking the innocent.?

They entered the theatre. Upon entry, the room has a number of rows of ten red-coloured seats each, and the carpet was patterned with red, white, black, and brown colours. At the end of the theatre was a large red curtain, hiding the screen that would be showing a movie soon. As the group looked round, no one was there, not even the informant.

?He must be running late,? Stevens said. ?Let?s take our seats.?

They sat somewhere in one of the middle rows and waited patiently for the informant to arrive. After a few minutes of waiting the curtains lifted and it showed a couple of previews of upcoming movies, then it showed the main movie, ?The Messenger?.

?Greetings, Detective Stevens,? a man said as he suddenly appeared on-screen, much to the shock of Ash and his teammates. His face was blurry, so he?s identity was hidden from them.

?If you?re watching this, then you are aware that the world is in grave danger,? he continued. ?The other groups should have receive their respective information on them that will share with you later on. The film you?re about to see reflects on what plans the Team Dark Leader has in mind for world domination.?

The following screens showed scientists testing their chemicals on various pokemon, which would increase their strengths and other statistics, but some of the chemicals killed some of them, as they were too poisonous for them.

Then they showed a masked Machamp smashing robots to pieces while the scientists were observing him from another room. The mask looked like a mask to stop the Machamp biting people. It was smashing robots in a psychotic way, caused by the tests and chemicals the scientists ran on him.

?Samson?? Mecha whispered.

?Did you say something?? Stevens asked.

?Huh?? Mecha asked, realising what he had just said. ?Er? no.?

?Look at those pokemon,? Misty said sympathetically.

?They can?t do this,? Ash said, gnarling his teeth with anger.

?So that?s the information that guy is providing,? Brock said. ?I wonder if??

Suddenly, the screen went fuzzy, much to the group?s surprise. Then a group of Team Dark grunts barged into the room. ?Team Dark! They must?ve messed up the film!? Stevens yelled.

?Pikachu!? Ash yelled as he got up to his feet. ?Thunderbolt!?

Pikachu leapt into the air and let out a huge cry as sparks of lightning came shooting out of his body, shocking most of the grunts. As the action continued, Stevens thought about the film. ?Guys,? Stevens whispered, catching Mecha, Brock and Misty?s attention. ?I?m going to look for the film, one of you come with me.?

?I?ll go,? Brock whispered as he followed Stevens from behind.

Back at the battle scene, Ash ordered Pikachu to take out the last standing group with his Iron Tail attack. Pikachu did as he was instructed as he slammed his vigorously glowing tail onto the face of the grunt, knocking him out.

?We did it, Pikachu!? Ash yelled.

?Pi Pikachu!? Pikachu squeaked, showing a ?V? sign with its paws.

As Ash turned round, only Misty was there. ?Hey! Where?s Brock and Stevens?? he asked.

?They?ve gone to look for that film,? Misty replied.

Sure enough, Stevens and Brock spotted a grunt that was carrying the film in a bag and gave chase. Noticing that grunt was running faster than both of them, Stevens took out his pokeball. ?Quicksilver! Go!? he yelled as he tossed out his pokeball.

?Scyther!? A green grasshopper-like pokemon cried as it materialised from coming out of its pokeball.

?Quicksilver!? Stevens yelled. ?Get that grunt!?

Quicksilver obeyed its master as it quickly flew past the grunt and landed in front of him, threatening to attack. The grunt turned round to see if there was any other way to escape, but he was surrounded when Brock and Stevens closed in.

?Hand over the film!? Brock demanded.

The grunt looked over the shoulder of his pursuers and saw another bunch of grunts coming his way. ?Catch!? he yelled as he tossed the film over the heads of Brock and Stevens.

One of the grunts were about to catch the film but got knocked to the floor by Mecha, who successfully caught the film instead.

Ash and Misty ran into the scene and yelled to Mecha to throw it back to him, but the other grunts surrounded Mecha. Thinking quickly, Ash took out a pokeball off his belt. ?Go, Swellow!? Ash yelled as he tossed it out.

A red, white and black bird materialised from its pokeball. Realising what Ash?s plan was, he tossed the bag up into the air. ?Swellow! Grab that bag!? Ash yelled. Swellow obeyed as he flew towards the bag and grabbed it with its beak.

The grunts looked up at Swellow as it flew around the entrance hall of the cinema. Seeing them distracted, Ash took his chance to whisper his plan to Misty. ?Misty,? he whispered. ?Run over to the entrance way, use one of your pokemon if you have to, I?ll get Swellow to drop the film to ya. You need to catch the film and make a run for it back to the pokemon center. Stevens, Brock and I will take care of the grunts.?

Being slightly hesitant, Misty gave a small nod, hoping that this plan will work. As planned, while the grunts were trying to get the film from Swellow, Misty quickly crept over to the entranceway with her back by the walls. Finally, she made it.

?Swellow! Fly towards Misty and drop the film!? Ash yelled as he saw her at her target location.

Swellow did as it was instructed as it dropped the film, with Misty catching successfully. ?I got it!? Misty yelled triumphantly.

Suddenly, a pair of grey hands grabbed her from behind, much to the shock of Ash and his teammates. Ash ran to get Misty?s kidnapper when the grunts blocked the entranceway. ?We don?t think so, kid!? yelled one of the grunts letting the kidnapper get away.

?They must be working with that thief!? Stevens yelled. ?We have to get through them to get the film back!?

?Misty as well,? Ash snarled, gnarling his teeth.

Suddenly, an explosion occurred from the entranceway, knocking down some of the grunts. That caught the attentions of the grunts, Ash, Stevens and Brock as they turned to the direction of the explosion. It turned that it was Wes, with his Tyranitar standing beside him.

?You guys have a party and you didn?t invite us?? Wes said coolly as his respective team arrived to the scene.

?Ludicolo! Go!? Brock yelled out as he tossed out his pokeball.

A strange Mexican plant-like pokemon materialised from its pokeball. ?Use your Water Gun!? Brock yelled.

Ludicolo breathed in and shot out a huge fountain out of its mouth, knocking down some of the grunts and making a clear path.

?Get going, Ash!? Brock yelled. ?Misty needs you!?

Ash nodded and ran towards the entranceway, with Pikachu jumping to his shoulder as he recalled Swellow. ?Ash,? Rui yelled. ?Where are you going??

?To save Misty,? Ash yelled as he ran into the direction the kidnapper went. As Ash left the battle scene, a few more familiar figures entered it as Jenny, one of Wes?s teammates turned round and looked at them with a smile on her face.

Meanwhile, as Ash ran around the corner, he and Pikachu looked at the backdoor being slammed shut. Assuming that the kidnapper went through there, Ash ran to the door and he and Pikachu pulled it with everything they?ve got. ?It won?t budge,? he said with a strain.

Ash let go of the door handle and took out a pokeball. ?Meganium!? Ash yelled as he tossed it out. ?I choose you!?

The green dinosaur-like pokemon, with petals around came out of its pokeball, yelling out its name. ?Meganium,? Ash yelled. ?Break the door down!?

Meganium did as she was told as she ran like a Tauros and slammed its body onto to door, breaking it down. ?Nice one, Meganium!? Ash said as he returned Meganium back into her pokeball.

He, with Pikachu on his shoulder, quickly ran up the stairs and spotted a grey figure at the top of the stairs. ?Ash! Help!? yelled a familiar voice.

?Misty!? Ash yelled as he started running up the stairs as fast as he could.

The kidnapper turned out to be the psychotic masked Machamp as he made it to the roof with Misty on its shoulder. Misty struggled to break free from its grasp, but Machamp still won?t let go until he dropped her on her back. He then snatched the bag with the film in it away from Misty and gave her a psychotic stare with a nasty growl.

Soon, a black helicopter with a huge red D written on flew by and the driver spotted the masked Machamp. He looked up and saw it flying down to him, he then maliciously looked at Misty and gave her a nasty growl as it grabbed onto the railings beneath the helicopter while holding onto the bag.

Misty decided to take a risk as she leapt and grabbed onto the Machamp. As she did, Ash finally got to the top of the building and saw Misty holding on to the masked Machamp. Misty spotted Ash and yelled out that Machamp got the film.

?Hey!? Ash yelled as he ran to the edge of the roof. ?Give her back!?

The driver of the helicopter told Machamp to shake Misty off him. Machamp did as he was told as he shook Misty off, making her fall a great height, much to Ash and Pikachu?s horror.

Chapter 2

Misty was holding on to the masked Machamp that was holding on to the Team Dark helicopter. Machamp shook Misty off him, making her fall a great height.

Seeing this with horror, Ash instinctively jumped off the roof, in an attempt to catch Misty, with Pikachu holding on to his shoulder.

Ash aimed himself for Misty, and successfully caught her. ?Ash!? Misty cried as she hugged him tightly while they were still falling. ?What do we do??

Ash held Misty tightly as he turned his body so that his would land on the ground first. ?Ash!!? Misty yelled in a terrified tone, realising what Ash was planning to do. ?You?re gonna get yourself hurt!!?

?Pikachu!? Ash yelled to Pikachu, who was riding on Ash?s shoulder. ?Get on Misty?s back!?

?Pikachu!!? Pikachu squeaked shaking his head negatively.

?Pikachu! I need you to look after Misty for me if something happens!? Ash said back, knowing that he would die when he would hit the ground first. ?I know that??

Suddenly, a huge blur blue came flying in and caught them, much to their surprise. ?What the?? Ash yelled. ?Salamence!!?

Salamence gave a small growl in reply. ?That means that Black Jack must be here!? Misty said. ?Thank you!?

?Pika!? Pikachu squeaked thankfully.

Sure enough, Black Jack was waiting outside an Italian looking restaurant. He was sitting at a table, drinking his beer.

Salamence, being a fast flyer, flew passed the restaurant, causing a huge gust of wind that blew away dishes, dust and others. Realising this, Salamence landed on his feet and walked back to his trainer with Ash, Misty and Pikachu riding on his back.

?So, what kept ya, Salamence?? Black Jack said with a smile.

?Black Jack?? Ash said. ?When did you get here??

?Just in time for the party,? Black Jack replied. ?But those jerks gave themselves in when they saw me.?

He looked inside the restaurant to look for assistant. ?Hey, buddy!? he yelled and a waiter came out of the restaurant, holding a tray by his arm and a pen and a pad in his hand.

Black Jack then ordered the waiter to bring out some drinks for Ash and Misty, tomato ketchup for Pikachu and some pokechow for the other pokemon.

After some relaxation, Black Jack asked a question involving the mission. ?So, kids. Got anything??

?Yeah,? Ash replied in a down tone. ?Lost the information on the same day as well.?

?No worries,? Black Jack said as he reached down his pocket. ?I don?t have any information but I do have something that Team Dark might be looking for.?

He took out the orange-coloured crystal out of his pocket and placed it on the table while Misty looked at it in awe. ?It?s beautiful,? she said.

?It looks kinda weird to me,? Ash said. ?What?s so special about it??

?That?s what we?re gonna find out,? Black Jack said. They all walked back to the hotel, meeting their respective teams.

After talking about their adventures, they visited back to the room that Ash?s team rented out laid out pieces of information they?ve received in their past investigations and adventures. One piece shows the picture of a spaceship, the other was the orange coloured crystal.

?That must be Team Dark?s spaceship,? Ash said.

?A bit obvious,? Jesse said. ?But what?s the deal with this crystal??

?Black Jack,? Mecha said. ?Are you sure that this isn?t some crystal??

?A couple of Team Dark renegades told me that they?ve been looking for this,? Black Jack replied. ?But they didn?t know why.?

?Renegades?? Jenny asked. ?Who were they??

?Some freak shows,? Black Jack said as he shrugged.

?Any ideas?? Brock asked, referring to the crystal.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. ?Whoever that is, I?m getting rid of them,? Black Jack said as he got up.

?Allow me,? Stevens said as he quickly walked to the door.

When he opened the door, a woman dressed in a uniform smiled at him. ?This package came in for you, sir,? she said as she handed him the package.

?Thank you,? Stevens said, accepting the package.

As he shut the door, he turned round as he looked at the package. ?Guys,? he said, catching everyone?s attention as he unwrapped the package, revealing a videotape. ?I think we may have our answers right here.?

He inserted the tape into a VCR and switched on the television. A blurry face appeared on the TV screen.

?Greetings, detective Stevens,? he said. ?If you?re watching this, you are aware that the world is indeed in grave danger.?

?There is a special diamond called the Solar Diamond that can destroy many things, including the whole planet, depending on how it would be used. To use it properly, the Diamond will have to be absorbed from the solar rays of the sun and the bearer will have to aim for the Diamond to destroy.?

?It is the Team Dark?s goal to destroy random regions and countries and rebuild them into their own empire to rule the world.?

?Your goal is to protect the Diamond from Team Dark, take down Team Dark and save the world? and remember? no one would like to be blown into bits.?

The screen then changed into a message that said, ?End viewing?.

?So, that?s it,? Brock said. ?This Solar Diamond has magical powers? and they?re gonna use the spaceship to do that.?

Everyone gasped in shock, except Black Jack, who was observing the crystal.

?For once, I agree,? James said. ?If Team Dark is after this crystal?? he then became even more shocked upon realisation. ?That means that they?re gonna come after us!!?

Meowth leapt into the air and scratched him the face, making snap out of his overreaction but making him scream in pain. ?Jimmy, pal!? he said. ?Everything?s gonna be okay!?

?Most decent thing you?ve done all this time, Meowth,? Isaac said.

?How about we put it to the test, to see if it isn?t a fake?? Ash asked.

?Way ahead of you,? Black Jack replied with an evil smile as he continued observing the crystal. ?And I?ve got an idea.?

?Well?? everyone asked.

?Just leave it to me,? Black Jack replied with an evil snigger.

Chapter 3

That night, Black Jack was walking around the streets of Phanec City, carrying an opened bottle of beer. He stopped for a brief moment, then he walked round a corner, into a dark alley? and tossed a man in a Team Dark uniform out of it.

?Congratulations,? Black Jack said walking up to the Team Dark grunt. ?You?ve found Black Jack.?

?We, Team Dark, are going to end your game and your lives,? the grunt said, putting on a determined face.

?The punk for your boss started this whole thing,? Black Jack replied smugly. ?So, I?ll do the ending for him. But first, I want you to deliver a message for me.?

He took out the crystal out of his pocket and showed it to him. ?Tell him that I have something that he wants. If he wants it back, tell him to meet me outside Phanec City tomorrow afternoon? alone.?

He kicked him in the shins. ?Ow!? the grunt muttered feeling the pain.

?Now get outta here if you don?t wanna get battered,? Black Jack snarled.

The grunt quickly got up and ran out of the scene. As he did, Black Jack knew that someone was spying on him. No, he made that three.

?Alright, you two, I know that you?re not playing ?I spy?? he said as he looked at the direction of the people spying on him. As he expected, three familiar figures came out of the darkness. They were none other than Ash, Pikachu and Wes.

?What are you planning, Black Jack?? Ash asked suspiciously.

Black Jack tossed the crystal into the air and confidently caught it. ?I can tell that they want this crystal,? he replied. ?If they want it back they?re gonna have to take it from me.?

?I don?t like the looks of this one bit,? Wes replied. ?You said to get the leader to come alone but I know that he?s gonna have something up his sleeve.?

?Maybe,? Black Jack replied. ?But he?s gonna get a blasting when he does. Now let?s get back to the PC? your girlfriends must be thinking about wrapping you guys with warm blankets, it is a cold night, y?know.?

Tints of pink appeared on Ash and Wes?s faces thinking about Black Jack?s sudden remark. ?Hey, wait a minute,? Wes said in denial. ?Rui and I are not what you think.?

?That?s what they all say,? Black Jack mumbled while sniggering.

The next morning Black Jack, Ash, Pikachu and Wes stood outside Phanec City, waiting for the Team Dark Leader to arrive. Their other teammates were told to stay behind at the pokemon center. As they waited, they spotted a helicopter flying down towards them. ?Here he comes,? Black Jack whispered.

The helicopter landed a distance away from Black Jack and his teammates, while they waited for the Team Dark leader to come out of the vehicle. A man wearing jumped out of the helicopter wearing a posh red jacket and a black suit underneath.

?Humph. I thought you didn?t have any guts, punk,? Black Jack said confidently with a small smirk on his face.

The leader showed a small smirk of his own. ?Black Jack, Ash Ketchum and Wes. At last we meet,? he said. ?But, for your information, my name is not ?punk?, it?s Lawrence Garther.?

?I don?t care,? Black Jack said bitterly. ?I?m getting pretty tired of beating up of your low-graded flunkies.?

?Yes, I?m sure,? Lawrence replied. ?I understand that you wanted to see??

?Shut it,? Black Jack snarled, replacing his smirk with an expressionless face. ?I?m not done yet so don?t interrupt me. I got a? proposal for ya.?

He took out the Solar Crystal out of his pocket. ?I have here what you have been looking for,? he said. ?I suggest that you set up a little battle between three of your best and me, Wes and Ketchum. If your team wins, you can have this crystal and you can do whatever you want without us interfering. If my team wins, then Team Dark is history.?

Ash was about to step forward to convince Black Jack to take back the challenge he made but Wes held his hand up to stop him. ?Very interesting proposal indeed, Mr. Black Jack,? Lawrence replied. ?But how about it if we raise the stakes up a little bit??

?Listenin?? Black Jack replied, now with a suspicious look on his face.

?Observe,? Lawrence said as he snapped his fingers. A small mechanical sphere flew out of the helicopter and made a large electronic screen appear underneath it. It showed that the pokemon center was being attacked by the Team Dark grunts and the other team members struggled to fight back but to no avail, much to Ash and Wes?s shock.

Black Jack?s eyes narrowed as the Solar Crystal in his hand started to glow as it absorbed the rays of the sun. He looked at the object and aimed it at the orb and shot out a powerful beam, making the sphere explode on impact. He could tell that neither Ash or Wes wanted to see that.

Black Jack gnarled his teeth, as he turned round towards his two teammates. ?You two, get back to Phanec City, the other guys need you.?

?We have to hurry,? Ash said as he and Wes ran back to the city.

Black Jack turned his attention back to Lawrence. ?You creep,? he growled.

?Aren?t you going to kill me?? Lawrence asked curiously, looking at the crystal.

?Humph. I?d rather torture you than kill you.?

?I wouldn?t be so foolish if I were you, Black Jack,? Lawrence replied. ?But since you want to make a challenge for high stakes, I propose that I use six of my pokemon while you and your other two teammates use two pokemon each, shouldn?t be a problem considering that you were a Hoenn League champ. I?ll be stating the rules and matches, should you have any interests in arriving at my base.?

?Stakes?? Black Jack snarled.

Lawrence gave a small snigger. ?Beat me in the battle and I?ll release your friends and Team Dark will disband as promised, but fail and not only that the crystal will belong to me but I?ll rule the world, your cohorts will remain in my hands and you?ll also be joining them.?

?Done,? Black Jack snarled with narrowed eyes.

?Excellent. Meet me at my main base tomorrow afternoon. This will give you and your comrades enough time to practice for our upcoming match? I?ll be doing some training as well.?

Lawrence let out another small snigger as he noticed Black Jack?s hatred towards him. ?Don?t blame me for turning this game around,? he said.

He turned round and started walking back to his helicopter as Black Jack watched him leave, but Lawrence stopped and turned his attention to his upcoming opponent again. ?Something has occurred to me,? he said. ?After all this time, Black Jack doesn?t have Team Dark by the throat? Team Dark has you by the throat.?

Black Jack?s fists shook with anger as he saw Lawrence getting inside his helicopter holding his neck, representing what he said.

Black Jack immediately made his way back to Phanec City but as he reached his destination, he discovered that some of his teammates were missing. The only teammates that were not captured were Ash, Wes, Mecha and Isaac.

?What happened?? Black Jack asked.

?Our teammates have been captured,? Isaac replied in a down tone. ?I?m sorry.?

?When Wes and Ash got back, those brats made their exit,? Mecha said.

Black Jack turned his attention to Ash, Pikachu and Wes, who were looking at the debris of the pokemon center. It was obvious to Black Jack what they were thinking about? they felt that they?ve let their loved ones down but somehow, someway, they were going to find them and rescue them.

Black Jack spotted some steel bars and looked at them with sinister looking eyes as he took off his sunglasses. ?Lawrence? you?re gonna be held accountable for your actions,? he thought.


Next episode: Looks like Black Jack has a plan in his upcoming battle against Team Dark. What exactly is his plan?

Chapter 1

Black Jack, Ash, Pikachu, Wes, Mecha and Isaac sat on the different parts of the rubble of the destroyed Pokemon center. Each one of them was thinking about their hatred towards Team Dark and how to defeat but more importantly on how to save their teammates.

?Team Dark?s gone too far this time,? Isaac said as he stood up and kicked a small rock away. ?We need to do something about those creeps.?

?Lawrence said to wait until tomorrow to face him?? Ash said as a small tear came flowing down his face. ?I can?t wait that long.?

He stood up, as he was about to walk. ?What are you gonna do, Ash?? Mecha said. ?Get there by foot??

?I?ll do whatever it takes to get my friends back.?

?That?s what Lawrence wants you do, kid, it?s gonna be a trap.?

?I don?t care!? Ash yelled, erupting like a volcano with anger. ?If they?re doing something to Misty, Brock or anyone, I?ll??

?Easy, Ash,? Isaac said, placing his hand on Ash?s shoulder. ?Shouting things out ain?t gonna get us anywhere.?

?Pikapi,? Pikachu squeaked silently, concerned for his master and friend.

Wes?s fist shook furiously and he quickly stood up. ?Ash?s right,? he said. ?We?re gonna do something about those punks, if we don?t act now we may never see our friends again.?

He looked down at his shaking fist. ?I?ve let those brats down once,? he thought to himself. ?And I won?t be fine until they?re okay.?

Footsteps were heard coming towards them as they turned their attention to it. It turned out to be Black Jack carrying a trashcan full of steel pipes, shovels, chains and ropes. He walked past his group towards a nearby police van and tossed it into the back of the van. He then looked at his confused teammates. ?Are you kids coming or not?? he asked loudly.

Smiles appeared on the faces of his comrades as they ran towards the van. ?Wes,? Black Jack said as he held his hand out to stop his teammate. ?You do stunts right??

?Yeah,? Wes replied.

?Get in the driver seat.?

Wes agreed as he and Black Jack in the front seat of the van and started up the vehicle by hotwiring the engine, while Ash, Isaac and Mecha entered the back of the van.

As the Van moved out of Phanec City, Ash asked, ?So, Black Jack, any plans??

Black Jack showed an evil smile upon hearing that question, thus he told everyone his plans?

?Lawrence will be expecting us three to arrive his base tomorrow, but chances are, they would be expecting us at any minute.

?He didn?t say for Wolfpack or Mecha to arrive to the scene, so you two guys better be careful when you look for the control room to get our buddies out of there. When we get there Wes will find a way to make stop, when he does you two better get out of the van when everyone?s distracted and look out for security cameras. Wes, don?t worry about the van getting hit by anything, this thing can?t get damaged.

?Weapons in the back are there just in case Lawrence has a trick or two. Ketchum, Wes, just give them everything you?ve got.?

?Got it,? everyone said in a tone that showed Black Jack that they?re ready.

?Pika!? Pikachu squeaked, which also meant he?s ready.


Sometime after Black Jack revealed his plans, they were arriving at the Team Dark base. It was now nighttime.

?There it is,? Black Jack said. ?Ready, Wes??

?Ready,? Wes ready replied as he placed his shades down to his eyes.

A couple of Team Dark grunts spotted the incoming van and began shooting at the van with their guns. Unfortunately for them, the bullets were deflected from the vehicle.

?Ignore the bullets, Wes!? Black Jack yelled. ?Go straight full speed!?

Wes did as he was instructed and stepped harshly on the gas pedal, driving the vehicle up to its top speed. As Wes showed no signs of stopping the van, the guards stopped their firing and ran out of the way as the van crashed through the gates and into the main entrance of the building.

Shocked faces appeared on numerous Team Dark grunts inside the building as they dodged out of harm?s way. Wes saw a large pile sacks at the center of the room as he got closer and harshly turned the wheel, making the van turn sideways and skidded to towards the sack.

The van slammed into the sacks. Some of the sacks were knocked away from the pile while some of them were ripped open, causing some strange white dust to scatter, making the scenery around the van look foggy.

?Now?s your chance, guys!? Ash said as he noticed some strange dust scattering around. ?Get going!?

Isaac and Mecha nodded in unison; they kicked the backdoor open and rushed out of the vehicle.

Wes let out a small breath as Black Jack looked at him disappointedly.

?Sorry,? Wes said, noticing Black Jack?s disappointment.

?You call that a ?crash??? Black Jack asked sarcastically.

As the ?fog? cleared, Black Jack, Wes, Ash and Pikachu came out of the van. A huge number of Team Dark grunts surrounded them with guns. ?Hands up!? yelled one of them.

?We?re only to see your boss!? Black Jack replied loudly. ?Where is he??

?An extraordinary entrance,? said a familiar confident voice. Recognising the voice, some of the grunts turned round and moved out of the way of Lawrence Gartner. ?Although the chemical powder you?ve crashed into did cost me a little price, so a point deducted there.?

?Why don?t you quit all the talk, Lawrence! Let go of our friends and give up now!? Ash demanded in an angry tone, which was followed by Pikachu?s angry squeak.

?All in good time, my impatient opponent,? Lawrence replied. ?I knew you weren?t patient enough to wait until tomorrow afternoon, so I was prepared for your ?smashing? visit.?

?Your sarcasm is as bad as those grunts you?ve got here,? Wes said. ?Let?s cut all the small talk and do this.?

?Anxious to lose are we?? Lawrence said. ?I guarantee that after all our battles; this battle will have a different outcome.?

Black Jack pressed his clenched fist into the palm of his other hand, making some cracking noises in his fist as he looked maliciously at the intimidated grunts.

Chapter 2

?So,? Wes asked. ?What are the rules??

Lawrence let out a small snigger with confidence. ?Three of you will in a tag team. Each of you must use two pokemon each while facing six of Team Dark?s most powerful pokemon, which I sincerely think that they?ll provide such a challenge. If all six of your team?s pokemon are unable to battle you?ll lose the match, the same goes for me.?

?Good enough for me,? Black Jack replied, agreeing with the rules, so did Ash and Wes. ?But I do have a small favour to ask you.?

?Which is?? Lawrence asked.

Black Jack walked to the back of the van and took out the trashcan that was filled with various items. ?How about we make things interesting,? he said. ?How about we use these as weapons.?

Ash and Wes looked at him in shock. ?You sure you want to use those things?? Ash asked, predicting what would happen if pokemon used those against each other. Knowing Black Jack, he could tell how violent things could get while he?s around.

?Interesting idea,? Lawrence replied. ?Since we are in Orre, a rotten and violent place, I accept? that is if your other teammates aren?t afraid to order their pokemon to use them.?

?No way!? Ash thought. ?I can?t do this to the pokemon, even if lives are at stake.?

Pikachu sensed Ash?s hesitation to accept Lawrence?s challenge. ?Pika!? Pikachu cried, which meant, ?Accept it!?

Ash looked at Pikachu with a concerned look in his eyes. ?You want to do this, Pikachu?? he asked. Pikachu nodded in response.

Suddenly, all of his pokemon released themselves from the pokeballs that were attached to his belt, much to everyone?s shock, including Ash?s. ?You guys think so too?? he asked, which his pokemon nodded to in response.

Knowing that his pokemon would do anything to save the life of others, tears began to dwell in Ash?s eyes. ?Guys? thank you?? he sobbed as he hid eyes with his cap.

?I?m also in,? Wes said with confidence in his voice. ?My pokemon and I also had our rough battles around here? but they?re nothing compared to what I?m going to you guys.?

?I guess we?re all in,? Black Jack said with a smile. ?We?re seeing broken bodies tonight? mainly yours, Gartner.

?Yeah!? Ash said in a determined tone. ?Together we?re gonna beat you and Team Dark are gonna break up for good!?

?I fear that you three would be eating those words,? Lawrence said. ?For there?s six of my superior pokemon that you cannot defeat.?

The three heroes were led to the battle hall by the grunts while being surrounded by them. ?Black Jack,? Ash said.

Black Jack let out a small grunt sounding like he wanted to know what Ash wanted to say. ?Last time we worked as a team I took a big blast in that battle with Mane,? Ash said.

Black Jack nodded in agreement. That was true, Black Jack and Ash teamed up once before and Ash was killed in their battle against Mane to free Black Jack?s family and the legendary pokemon. But somehow, Ash was able to regain his life thanks to his loved ones.

Ash smiled as he continued talking. ?There?s a good chance that one of us is gonna get attacked by Lawrence?s pokemon. I know you don?t see me as a friend and you probably never will. But I know that you have someone in your heart? so Wes and I are gonna look out for ya.?

?Let me tell you something, Ketchum,? Black Jack said. ?You?re right, we ain?t friends but I?ll look out for you guys too. And if Lawrence tries something? he better look out for me.?

As they entered the battling hall, the three heroes looked around the room. The room had the floor, the walls and the ceiling made out of steel. One of the walls had an electricity box connected to it. Various items, such as steel ladders, adjustable tables and others, were scattered around the field and Black Jack, Ash and Wes realised that they were weapons that can be used in battle. At the other end of the room were six doors and behind them were six pokemon that our heroes were going to face.

They spotted three boxes that were painted on the floor distances away from each other. ?See those boxes?? Lawrence said from the speakers that were connected from corner of the room. ?Those boxes are for you three to stand in, just like in a battling arena.?

?We already know that,? Black Jack snarled. ?Just show us your worst.?

?As you wish,? Lawrence said.

The six doors opened and six pokemon entered the room. There was a strange electric alien-like pokemon called Electabuzz, a gorilla-like pokemon known as Vigoroth, a mantis pokemon called Scyther, a devilish looking dog Houndoom and an armoured rhino-like pokemon Aggron. The sixth was the pokemon that Ash immediately.

?It?s that masked Machamp!? Ash yelled. ?The Machamp that hurt Misty!?

?I see that you?re already acquainted with Samson, Mr. Ketchum?? Lawrence said.

?Samson?? Ash thought. ?Mecha did mention him when we were watching that movie. Could it be that those guys know each other??

?Then allow me to make further introductions,? Lawrence said. ?Mr. Ketchum, Black Jack and Wes, meet my pokemon - Shocker the Electabuzz, Scar Maker the Scyther, Berserker the Vigoroth, Rottweiler the Houndoom and Mincer the Aggron.?

?There?s something strange about those guys,? Wes said as he noticed that each pokemon that Lawrence introduced gave large roars as though they were crazed.

?Team Dark?s dirty upgrade,? Black Jack snarled. ?They must?ve used their gadgets to not only power up their pokemon but they also made pokemon fight like madmen.?

?They can?t do that!? Ash yelled. ?Humans and pokemon are supposed to work together.?

?Pika!? Pikachu squeaked angrily.

?Correction,? Lawrence replied. ?Pokemon are only used to obey us humans, nothing more and nothing less.?

?We?ll see about that!? Ash yelled as he took out a pokeball. ?Ready, team!?

?Do you really need to ask that question?? Wes asked as he took out two of his.

?Let?s whip some,? Black Jack replied as he glared maliciously at the opposition.

As the three trainers were about release their chosen pokemon, Lawrence spoke out again. ?Oh, and to prove I?m not bluffing that I have your friends as my guests, look at these.?

As he spoke, a robotic sphere floated into the room and showed them their comrades locked behind bars as though they were prisoners.

?Misty!? Ash yelled, hoping that Misty could hear him.

?Ash!? Misty yelled in response.

?Don?t worry,? Lawrence said, who was talking to the speaker in the battling hall. ?They, too, can see the battle but from their cell via the holographic screen provided by my messengers? besides, Mr. Ketchum, you and your other teammates will soon be joining them.?

?Don?t worry, you guys!? Ash yelled. ?We?re not gonna lose to Lawrence after what he did to the us and the pokemon!?

He picked a pokeball off his belt and tossed it out. ?Sceptile! Go!? he yelled.

Sceptile materialised as it became released from its pokeball and let out its battle cry. ?Pikachu! You go too!? Ash yelled.

Pikachu squeaked obediently as ran onto the field.

Wes looked at Rui and Plusle with determined eyes, while they looked back with concerned eyes. ?Rui?? he whispered as he looked down to the floor. ?I can?t??

Knowing what Wes was thinking, Rui walked towards the screen. ?You can do this, Wes!? she yelled encouragingly.

?Plusle!? Plusle cried as it leapt onto Rui?s shoulder.

Wes? during his mission of disbanding Team Snagem, Rui always stood by his side despite his dark nature. At some level, they felt that a special bond came between them although they couldn?t figure out what it was. Even though she couldn?t be there in person she was there in spirit. Wes showed a small smile knowing this.

He took out two pokeballs and tossed them. ?Umbreon! Eespeon! Go!? he yelled as his pokemon became released, as they got ready for battle.

?Gartner,? Black Jack said, hoping that Lawrence can hear him as he took out two pokeballs of his own. ?I can be more sick and twisted than those freaks you?ve got here? you have no idea.?

?Chan! Tyranitar!? he said as he tossed the pokeballs. ?Let?s whip some!?

Chan and Tyranitar materialised as they came out of their pokeballs, yelling out their battle cries. After the chosen pokemon were released, the holographic screens disappeared and the spheres floated out of the room.

?Everything is set,? Lawrence said. ?Now? let the battles commence!?

?With pleasure,? Black Jack growled in a sinister voice, showing a confident and evil grin.

Chapter 3

As the battle started, all six of Team Dark?s pokemon started to charge towards the opposition. The three trainers ordered their pokemon to dodge the upcoming attacks and the pokemon did as they were instructed as they jumped out of harm?s way.

The psychotic pokemon attempted to retaliate apart from Samson the masked Machamp who stopped in front of Black Jack and looked at him wildly in the eyes while he coldly looked back at his.

As the stare down continued, with Samson growling, Tyranitar grabbed Samson from behind and forcefully turned him around to pummel him like he was a punching bag.

?Tyranitar,? Black Jack said. ?See if Blaziken is busy enough to use the double team attack.?

Tyranitar looked at his partner, Chan the Blaziken, finishing off his attack on Shocker. Chan signalled that he was ready to use a double team attack against Samson after he hit his opponent on the chest with a double palm shot sending him flying towards the end of the room.

Tyranitar gave Samson a couple more punches to the head and then shoved him towards Blaziken.

?Chan, Blaze Kick,? Black Jack said with confidence.

Chan did as he instructed as he gave the masked Machamp his flaming roundhouse kick to the face, knocking him down as the back of his head fell harshly on the steel floor.

?Nice one, boys,? Black Jack said with a confident smile.


At Ash?s location, he was focusing his attacks on Berserker and Scar Maker. As the enemy charged towards his pokemon he looked round to see what he could do to counter. ?Got it,? he said, predicting that his upcoming plan would work.

?Sceptile!? he yelled as he turned to the gecko pokemon. ?Duck!?

Sceptile did as he was instructed as he ducked down, waiting for further instructions.

?Pikachu!? Ash yelled. ?Grab a weapon and use Sceptile to launch your Iron Tail attack with it!?

Pikachu squeaked loudly as he quickly grabbed a trashcan lid while running up to Sceptile?s back. He leapt on Sceptile?s shoulder and leapt of high into the air to dive down towards one Berserker, like a missile, using the lid to slam it on its face.

Scar Maker became distracted was about to attack Pikachu but Sceptile retaliated by slamming his large tail on the back of the mantis?s neck, knocking him down.

?That oughta knock them out,? Ash said as Sceptile and Pikachu leapt back towards their trainer. But to their shock, Scar Maker and Berserker picked themselves up, momentarily dazed.

?Oh boy,? Ash muttered. ?Not good.?


Meanwhile, Wes was focusing on Mincer and Rottweiler with his Espeon and Umbreon. Both of his pokemon dodged as Houndoom shot out a huge lick of flame towards Wes?s pokemon, who barely dodged out of the way.

Mincer was about to slam its head onto Umbreon?s body, but Wes saw it coming. ?Espeon!? he yelled. ?Psychic attack!?

A blue energy began to surround Espeon?s body as it focused on a trashcan and used its Psychic powers to float its weapon and tossed it towards the armoured rhino, slamming it on its head, making it momentarily dazed.

?Hit it again!? Wes yelled. ?Umbreon! Attack Rottweiler with your Body Slam!?

?Umbre, umbre!? Umbreon cried encouragingly towards his fighting companion as it charged towards the devilish dog.

Espeon kept on focusing its energy on the trashcan and the crazed Aggron as it slammed the trashcan on Mincer repeatedly, but Mincer still wouldn?t fall down.

Espeon was growing tired as the blue energy started disappearing; Mincer was about to attack Espeon until Umbreon hit its hind leg with its tackle attack, tripping it over.

Umbreon checked on Espeon to see if it was all right, much to Wes?s concern. Espeon gave a nod as it stood up. ?Looks like we?re gonna be busy for a while,? the Snagem renegade thought as he checked to see what was going on Black Jack?s side.


Back at Black Jack?s location, Black Jack?s pokemon were dominating against Samson and Shocker. He took a steel shovel out of the trashcan he was carrying.

?Tyranitar,? he called out and Tyranitar turned his attention towards him and he tossed the weapon to him. Seeing what Black Jack?s intentions were, he showed a nasty smile and turned his attention back to the pokemon he was mainly battling against? Samson.

Tyranitar held the shovel up, ready to slam it onto Samson?s head while he struggled to get to his feet. As he stood straight up, Tyranitar slammed the shovel hard on top of Machamp?s skull knocking him down. The impact was so hard that the whole world could?ve heard it.

Meanwhile, Blaziken was focusing on Shocker as Shocker was unleashing his Thunderpunches but repeatedly missing as Blaziken kept on dodging.

?(You?re letting your anger and Team Dark?s technology take control of you),? Chan said as he distanced himself away from his opponent. ?(My friends and I don?t want to fight you this way).?

Shocker let out a loud roar in response. ?(Very well),? Chan replied back. ?(I did say we don?t want to fight you? but that doesn?t mean we won?t).?

The Electabuzz kept on using his Thunderpunch attacks to inflict damage on the dual fire and fighting pokemon but to no avail as he kept on dodging out of harm?s way. Chan eventually landed a kick on Shocker?s chest sending him flying until his back hit the steel wall. As Chan expected, Shocker showed no signs of stopping since his powers were increased by Team Dark?s underhanded chemistry.


The battling continued until, suddenly, a blackout occurred in the entire base, making everyone confused of what was going on. ?Hey!? Ash yelled. ?What?s going on here!??

?Lawrence!? Wes yelled. ?Is this one of your tricks!??

?I have nothing to do with this,? Lawrence yelled in a serious tone. ?Someone bring the lights back up!?

In no time at all, the lights came back on. But Ash, Wes and their respective pokemon became shocked, as they looked at Black Jack?s direction.

Black Jack showed an angry expression while his pokemon looked badly beaten. Tyranitar was still standing but Chan was struggling to get to his feet.

?Black Jack!? Ash yelled. ?Has Lawrance??

?Gartner is telling the truth. He had nothing to do with this,? Black Jack snarled. ?It was someone else??

Next episode: Who or what is Black Jack talking about? How did his pokemon get badly injured? Will his team win now that they are at a disadvantage? Found out next time!

Episode 10: Death Wish Granted

Chapter 1

Black Jack was about to finish off Samson and Shocker when suddenly a blackout happened. He and his pokemon weren?t able to see what was going on but after a moment later they were surrounded by grey rocky mountains and black skies.

?What?s going on here?? Black Jack whispered. ?Is this one of Gartner?s tricks??

?I?m afraid not,? said a voice, attracting the attentions of Black Jack and his pokemon. A man, with silver hair, dressed in black clothing with a long purple jacket over them stepped out of the shadows.

?Who are you?? Black Jack asked in uninterested tone. ?Another one of those Team Dark idiots??

The man gave a small snigger. ?The name is Damien Tusk,? he replied with an evil smile. ?I have nothing to do with those idiotic fools. I've summoned you here so I can challenge you to a battle."

?Great, another guy who thinks he can take me down one-on-one,? Black Jack thought in a bored tone. ?But what?s this feeling I have about him??

?Want to know the reason of your rage within you?? Damien asked as he gave another evil snigger, while Black Jack showed a small shock on his face. ?Perhaps I should give you some clues about myself. I have killed many people, just to relieve my boredom and I can tell you that I have lived more years than you have wins on your past winning streak.?

Black Jack looked up and down on Damien. The last winning streak he had before he drew in his battle with Ash was over 2000. ?This isn?t right,? he thought. ?He looks around twenty.?

?Curious if I?m immune to ageing or not?? Damien asked smugly. ?Perhaps I can reveal the murderer of your parents.?

Black Jack?s eyes widened behind his trademark sunglasses as he figured out who the murderer was. ?You?? he yelled in shock. His pokemon also yelled out in shock.

?Yes, and the reason was quite obvious,? Damien said. ?That is, until I found out more about you.

?Yes, I did murder your mother and father when you were just a little boy. The reason, as previously said, out of boredom but that was before I discovered you, a young boy who instantly hated the man who did such a thing, in this case, me.?

?Wait a minute?? Black Jack thought with his eyes widened as he looked at Damien?s face. ?Maybe I have seen his face somewhere before.?

-Flashback-

Years ago, at a cemetery a group of people wearing black clothing surrounded two empty graves. Many of them had tears leaking out of their eyes, as they were relatives or friends of the two corpses, most noticeably were two children, the sons of the corpses.

As two coffins began to lower inside their graves, one of the children began to notice that one of the people in black didn?t look or feel sad during the whole thing? in fact he was smiling nastily at him, which made slightly him quiver in fear. Still, the boy chose to ignore as he had this angry feeling towards the murderer, not knowing that it was that man.

-End Flashback-

?I had my suspicions that it was you,? Black Jack thought deeply.

?Each day, you?re pure hatred and anger increased ever since that day,? Damien continued. ?Only the pokemon that you?re carrying kept you calm, making you slightly weak.?

Chan and Tyranitar looked back at the shocked and angered Black Jack. ?Tar tar!? Tyranitar growled loudly, which meant, ?Don?t listen to him, Jack!?

Black Jack nodded in response; he instinctively knew what his pokemon was trying to say while Damien continued.

?One time, you teamed up with Team Rocket, making you even stronger? but after you left, you?ve done some things that made you somewhat a hero? even though you saw yourself as a so-called SOB.?

?You drew against Ash Ketchum, who you called your so-called most respected adversary, and defeated William Mane, the man who captured your family. The main reason why that is because of the evilness inside you? which is why I thought that you would be the one worthy enough to challenge me.?

Almost everything that Black Jack heard was true, but something inside his mind tells him that there was a lie in Damien?s ?speech?. His shocked face turned into a small smile.

?Say whatever you want,? Black Jack said. ?Fine, you?ve convinced me that you?re the one who killed my parents, and now you wish to challenge me to a pokemon battle? well, you?re wish is gonna come true? a death wish that is!?

?My sentiments exactly,? Damien said as he also took out two pokeballs of his own. ?I propose that the loser of this battle is to be killed.?

?Done,? Black Jack snarled, who obviously had a hated look in his eyes, looking at his already released pokemon. ?Ready, boys??

Chan and Tyranitar looked at each other and nodded. They then yelled out their battle cries, as they stood ready for battle. They knew that they could possibly be in a fight of their lives. They both knew how Black Jack was feeling at that moment, since they stood by each other?s side for such a long time. Having a strong sense of loyalty for each other, letting each other down were the very last thing on their minds.

?Interesting,? Damien said as he looked at the opposition while taking out two pokeballs of his own. ?Two of my pokemon are quite similar to yours.?

He tossed out them and two of his pokemon became released from their pokeballs, letting out their battle cries. They were both similar to two of Black Jack?s pokemon. One of them was a brown-shelled skinned Tyranitar with a green center with a large scar across its chest. The other was a Blaziken but with dark purple fur and a light purple mane.

?Be careful, you two,? Black Jack warned. ?Those two sideshow freaks could be dynamite.?

?And it?s your pokemon who?ll look like sideshow freaks,? Damien replied. ?And you?re going to be next on my death list.?

?Tyranitar! Chan!? Black Jack yelled.

?Tombstone! Darkfire! Damien yelled.

?Go!? They yelled in unison.

Upon hearing that command, all of the pokemon ran at the opposition, engaging in a high-staked battle?

Chapter 2

?Tyranitar, take on Tombstone!? Black Jack instructed. ?Chan, take on Darkfire!?

?My thoughts exactly,? Damien thought to himself while showing his evil smile.

Tyranitar did as he was ordered as he grabbed hold of Tombstone and pushed him until his opponent?s back hit the rocky mountains while Chan and Darkfire engaged in a martial arts type of combat.

?Tyranitar! Mega Punch!? Black Jack yelled. Tyranitar, while holding Tombstone?s neck with one lifted his clenched paw, as he was about to slam it on Tombstone?s face.

?Tombstone! Dodge his attack!? Damien ordered.

Tombstone responded as he quickly slipped out of his opponent?s grasp and skid past him. ?Now, Hyper Beam! Up close!? Damien yelled.

Tombstone breathed in and quickly shot out a huge and powerful light beam at Tyrnaitar but missed as Tyranitar ducked and the beam hit the mountains, causing it to crumble and fall on top of them. It didn?t take them to break out of the rubble; despite dirt and bruises on parts of their bodies they showed no signs of pain.

As the battle ensued between the two Tyranitar, Black Jack and Damien focused on their respective Blaziken. Chan and Darkfire grasped paws harshly, putting their strength against each other.

?(So),? Blaziken said. ?(What?s your fighting style?)?

?(Wouldn?t you like to know),? Darkfire replied as he shoved his opponent away.

As they distanced away from each other, they both stood in their fighting stance. ?Darkfire,? Damien said. ?Ember attack.?

A small purple fireball appeared on Darkfire?s paw as he tossed it along the ground, sending it towards Chan at the speed of a bullet being shot out of a gun.

?Chan!? Black Jack yelled. ?Jump to dodge his attack!?

?Predictable,? Damien thought with a smirk.

As Chan attempted to leap over, the dark ember shot out a huge pillar out of the ground towards him. Chan and Black Jack never saw this coming as the fiery pillar struck the red fighter from underneath; Chan fell harshly to the floor as the result of that attack, now surrounded with dark flames all around him.

?Chan!? Black Jack yelled. ?Get up!?

?Blazi!? Chan cried loudly, which meant, ?I can?t!?

?Why can?t you move?? Black Jack asked in a confused tone.

?He became immobilised,? Damien replied. ?Thanks to one of the techniques I taught to Darkfire.?

Black Jack gave a small, frustrated growl in response. ?But don?t worry,? Damien continued. ?It?s only temporary? unless he?s unconscious or dead.?

The eyes of Black Jack and Chan became widened, predicted what Damien?s next attack would be. ?Darkfire!? Damien yelled. ?Kill!?

Darkfire smiled sinisterly as he leapt into the air and shaped his paw like a knife, attempting to stab Chan in the neck.

?Tyranitar!? Black Jack yelled. ?Chan needs your help!?

Tyranitar nodded as he heard Black Jack?s command as he shoved Tombstone away and proceeded to help his friend by quickly ramming Darkfire into another mountain. While Tyranitar dealt with Darkfire the flames that surrounded Chan began to fade away making him able to fight again as he quickly stood up.

?Tyranitar! Chan! Get ready to double team!? Black Jack yelled.

Tyranitar held Darkfire by the wall of the mountain and gave him some slow but hefty punches to the face. He quickly turned round to see if Chan was ready as Chan breathed in deeply as he got into another fighting stance with focus in his eyes. Seeing that he was ready, Tyranitar pushed the dizzied dark Blaziken towards his partner.

?Chan, Blaze Kick now!? Black Jack instructed.

?Dodge!? Damien instructed calmly.

Darkfire suddenly came round as he ducked underneath Chan?s trademark flaming kick, which was aiming for his face. Chan turned round to perform the attack again but Darkfire grabbed him by the face and slammed his head into the rocky grounds, causing an explosion and engulfing him in dark flames. Chan quickly rolled along the ground to put the fire out before standing up and looking at his opponent, who showed a small confident smirk.

Despite having aches, bruises and burnt marks on parts of his body, Chan showed no signs of giving up. He spotted Tombstone walking up towards Darkfire, glaring maliciously at Tyranitar. Noticing this, Chan moved his eyes towards Black Jack and Tyranitar; he motioned his head, signalling Black Jack to get Tyranitar to fight Tombstone. Knowing Chan?s desire of defeating a tough opponent, they nodded in agreement.

?How sweet,? Damien said in a sarcastic tone. ?But sweetness will not save your life.?

?Tyranitar! Get Tombstone!? Black Jack yelled, ignoring Damien?s comment.

?So be it,? Damien said. ?You two, destroy!?

Tyranitar let out a loud roar as he charged towards Tombstone, running past the confident Darkfire, and knocking him down with a tackle and started pummelling like he was a punching bag, but Tombstone countered as he rolled on top of Tyranitar and started punching

As the two Tyranitar exchanged blows, the Blaziken stared maliciously at each other in the eyes as the stood in their fighting stance.

?Chan.? Black Jack said. ?Use your taunt.?

Chan did as he was instructed as he beckoned Darkfire to attack him. ?Allowing me to attack first I take it?? Damien asked. ?Very well then. Darkfire, attack with Mach Punch!?

Darkfire, like a speeding bullet, zoomed towards Chan, attempting to land his attack on any anatomy. Both Black Jack and Chan focused and attempted to predict where Darkfire would hit. ?It?s aiming for your face,? Black Jack warned instinctively.

Chan nodded in agreement as he ducked down from Darkfire?s attack and landed an elbow on Darkfire?s midsection. He then grabbed Darkfire?s furry chest and tossed him over his shoulder, making him landed harshly on his lower back on the concrete floor.

Darkfire slowly got up to his feet, holding his hurt back. ?(Pathetic),? Darkfire grumbled.

?(Pathetic)?? Chan questioned. ?(Didn?t I counter your Mach Punch? A punch that can never miss)??

?(You dare insult me)?? Darkfire muttered angrily. ?(You?ll pay).?

With that said, the two Blaziken continued fighting their fierce battle.

Damien looked into Tombstone?s direction and saw that Black Jack?s Tyranitar was at a losing end. Tyranitar was struggling to get his feet while his opponent was stalking him. ?Snatch him by the neck, Tombstone,? he ordered as he saw Tyranitar standing up.

?Tyranitar! Watch out!? Black Jack yelled.

But Tyranitar was too dizzy to focus as he turned towards Tombstone and got grabbed by the neck. ?Now, Body Slam him,? Damien ordered. Tombstone nodded obediently as he lifted him up as high as he could and slammed him viciously on the ground, which seemingly knocked him out.

?You?re Tyranitar?s finished!? Damien yelled triumphantly.

?I don?t think so,? Black Jack replied, showing a confident smirk.

To everyone?s shock, Tyranitar quickly sat up, somehow recovering from the devastating Body Slam that Tombstone delivered. He slowly got up to his feet until he fully stood, much to Tombstone?s shock.

?Tombstone! Mega Punch!? Damien yelled, not allowing a moment of hesitation to come over him.

The clenched paw of Tombstone vigorously glowed as he aimed his punch towards Tyranitar?s face.

?Counter attack,? Black Jack instructed.

Tyranitar quickly grabbed Tombstone?s paw and gave him a punch of his own, staggering him.

Knowing that Tyranitar would fight well against Tomsbstone, he turned his attention back to Chan?s battle against Darkfire.

?Darkfire, use your Ember again,? Damien commanded.

Darkfire shot out a small fireball along the floor. It sped through the floor like a speeding bullet. ?That?s the same attack he used before,? Black Jack thought. ?Who do they think I am??

?Chan!? he ordered. ?Jump to your right!?

Chan leapt to his right and high into the air upon hearing that command. ?Predictable fool,? Damien thought smugly.

Darkfire, focusing his opponent?s movement, waved his left foreleg sideways, guiding his fireball. The fireball moved towards Chan and it shot out a huge pillar underneath him. Chan and Black Jack never saw that coming as Chan got caught by the fiery pillar, making him immobile.

?Chan?s in trouble,? Black Jack thought in a desperate tone.

?Darkfire? now for the grand finale,? Damien said in a sinister tone.

A dark and evil energy surrounded Darkfire as he sped towards the immobilised Chan. Upon catching his prey, Black Jack watched desperately as Darkfire slashed viciously and mercilessly on Chan?s body while Chan screamed in pain.

Black Jack looked at Tyranitar?s direction, looking to see if Tyranitar would be able to help Chan out. Unfortunately, Tyranitar was held back by Tombstone as Tombstone held him by the arm and got distracted as he fought back.

?Now, finish him off!? Damien yelled.

Darkfire clutched Chan by neck and pressed one of his paws on him. Dark energy appeared on the paw that was pressed on Chan?s chest and then the energy exploded, engulfing Chan in dark flames.

Chan landed badly on his back but he rolled around to put out the fire that surrounded him, stopping any further damage. After the fire was put out, Chan became badly injured as he tried to get to his feet. His vision became blurry. ?(Master),? he whispered as he fainted.

?Darn! I can?t lose it now,? Black Jack thought turning his attention to the green dinosaur. ?Tyranitar needs my help.?

Damien and Darkfire turned their attention away from Chan. ?Darkfire,? Damien. ?I allow you to witness what Tombstone shall do Black Jack?s pathetic Tyranitar.?

?You?ll soon see,? Black Jack replied as he saw Tyranitar gaining the upper hand. ?Tyranitar! Snatch him by the neck!?

Tyranitar did as he was instructed, grabbing Tombstone by the neck, making him to struggle to break free but to no avail. ?Now, Body Slam him!? Black Jack yelled.

Upon hearing the command, Tyranitar lifted his opponent up as high as he could. As he was about to slam him hard on the hard rocky ground, Damien saw the moment to counter the move.

?Tombstone! Reversal!? Damien yelled. Tombstone immediately wrapped his arm around Tyranitar?s head and slammed it on the ground, much to Black Jack?s shock. ?Shoot!? Black Jack cursed.

As Tyranitar struggled to get to his feet while shaking off the dizziness off his head, Damien and Tombstone saw this as an opportunity to finish him and Black Jack off. ?Tombstone,? Damien said confidently. ?Use your Earthquake and Body Slam combination!?

?That?s my move,? Black Jack thought with a shock. ?He?s been learning a lot.?

Tombstone nodded at Damien?s command as he walked over to the confused Tyranitar. He grabbed hold of his waist and hoisted him up as high as he could over his head.

?Tyranitar!? Black Jack yelled suddenly. ?Reverse it with your Skull Crack!?

As Tyranitar heard his friend?s voice, he came round and quickly broke free from Tombstone?s grip and kicked him in the gut. He then picked his opponent up and turned him upside down. He looked maliciously at the new enemies of his and Black Jack?s life, wondering why they wouldn?t help their comrade out. Without needing an answer, he violently dropped the top of his opponent?s head onto the ground, knocking him out.

?Impressive,? Damien said with an evil smile on his face. ?Let?s see how you fare well with Darkfire.?

?With pleasure,? Black Jack replied, with hatred in his tone. ?Get him, Tyranitar.?

Tyranitar let out a huge roar but neither Damien nor Darkfire were intimidated. ?Enough roaring,? Damien said. ?Darkfire, use your Hi Jump Kick.?

Darkfire leapt into the air and performed a diving kick towards his opponent, who dodged out of the way upon hearing Black Jack?s command. ?Again, Darkfire!? Damien yelled.

The dark Blaziken attempted to perform the same move again, but as Tyranitar dodged out of the way, a foot of a pokemon was slammed onto his face, knocking him out, much to everyone?s shock. It turned out to be Chan, who was barely recovering from his injuries. As he finished his attack, he fell to the ground, holding the hurting parts of his body.

The shock on Damien?s face slowly turned into an evil smirk again. ?You win,? he said. ?I had no doubt that you are strong.?

?You know what this means, don?t you?? Black Jack said. ?But unlike you, I?m not a murderer.?

?Strange,? Damien said as he took out two pokeballs off his belt, zapping his two defeated pokemon back into their pokeballs. ?For a man who is strong and violent, turns out to be a noble man.?

?Besides, I don?t plan to be killed today,? he said as he and the dark scenery started to slowly disappear. ?As long as I exist? you will never be free from me.?

?Fine with me,? Black Jack said. ?I?ll be waiting for you so I can torture you even further.?

?We shall see,? Damien said as he faded away totally, putting Black Jack and his pokemon in total darkness.

?Lawrence!? a familiar voice yelled. ?Is this one of your tricks??

?I have nothing to do with this,? yelled another in a serious tone. ?Someone bring the lights back up!?

As the lights were brought up, Black Jack and his pokemon found themselves inside Team Dark?s base again, this time with his injured pokemon.

?Black Jack!? Ash yelled. ?Has Lawrance??

?Gartner is telling the truth. He had nothing to do with this,? Black Jack snarled. ?It was someone else??

Next episode: With Black Jack's pokemon badly beaten, his team is now at a disadvantage. Will he and his comrades be able to overcome all odds of defeating the psychotic pokemon of Team Dark? Find out soon!

Warning: This chapter has some blood in it... and a death scene. I suggest you guys get some tissues out.

Episode 11: Is it all worth it?

Chapter 1

?Let Black Jack change his pokemon!? Ash demanded. ?If you had nothing to do with this attack on them, then you should let him do that. That is if you?re not a coward.?

?I refuse,? Lawrence replied though the speaker. ?Your friend must be either planning a trick or he turns out to be a coward himself.?

?Takes one to know one,? Wes said. ?You hired out a bunch of lackeys to get rid of us and we whipped you every time. What are you afraid of!??

?I fear nothing!? Lawrence yelled in a frustrated tone. ?Attack them my creatures!?


Meanwhile, near the prison cells where Misty and the others were kept, two grunts were walking down the corridors. As they turned to one of the corners, a Rhydon crept out of the shadows and slowly walked up behind them. He grabbed one of the grunts from behind and forcefully turned him around to hit him with his metal arm.

That distracted the other grunt, as he turned round to help his comrade but got hit from behind by a man in street clothing who performed a karate chop on him, knocking him out.

?Nice shot, Isaac,? the Rhydon said.

?Thanks, Mech,? Isaac replied. ?But I gotta wonder where that blackout came from.?

?Forget about it. We have friends to rescue.?

With that, they ran down the corridor, hoping to find their comrades.


Back at the battle arena, the psychotic pokemon yelled out their battle cries and continued battling.

Black Jack was at a disadvantage against Samson and Shocker as Tyranitar and Chan were badly injured from their battle against Damien. Black Jack was about to take his pokeball out to return Chan back into it. But to his and Tyranitar?s shock Blaziken, with great difficulty stood up, ready to battle.

?You sure you wanna keep on fighting?? Black Jack murmured to Chan, who turned his eyes towards him and nodded. Black Jack responded back with a smile, knowing what was at stake.

Shocker leapt into the air and let out a loud cry as he shot a huge spark of electricity towards his opponents, who quickly dodged out of the way upon Black Jack?s command.


At Ash?s part of the battle arena, Ash was beginning was becoming more determined to not only defeat his opponents but help Black Jack anyway he can. He planned to finish off his opponents quickly before helping his partner out.

He noticed that Black Jack looked at his direction and they both nodded as though they agreed on their ?plan?.

?Pikachu!? Ash yelled. ?Use your Thunderbolt on Scar Maker!?

Electricity began to spark on Pikachu?s red cheeks as he charged up his powers. He ten let out a huge cry, sending a huge bolt of lightning towards the green mantis while it, distracting its double team attack with Berseker against Scpetile.

Scar Maker turned its attention towards the yellow mouse and dashed towards it with its high-speed ability. ?Pikachu!? Ash yelled. ?Dodge!?

Pikachu leapt into the air to avoid Scar Maker?s incoming attack. ?Chan!? shouted Black Jack. ?Use your Mega Kick on that green bug!?

?Scy!?? Scar Maker cried in a puzzled tone as it advertently ran into the foot of the red Blaziken. The back of its head landed harshly on the steel floor, knocking itself out.

?One down,? Black Jack thought to himself. ?Five more airheads to go.?


On Wes?s part of the battlefield, Wes was having some trouble with his Espeon and Umbreon battling against Mincer, the seemingly unstoppable Aggron, and Rottwiler, the killer Houndoom. While the enemy were attacking the pokemon of the Snagem renegade, they barely dodged each attack.

?Darn!? Wes cursed as he saw Umbreon and Espeon surrounded by their opponents by both ends, with Mincer carrying a trashcan. ?Somehow, they surrounded them and there?s no way to escape them? unless??

Rottweiler began charging towards his opponents while Mincer did the same. ?Guys!? Wes yelled. ?Dodge!?

Just split seconds away from being hit by the two running pokemon, the dark and psychic pokemon dodged out the way. As a result, Mincer accidentally slammed the trashcan on top of Rottweiler?s head, knocking him dizzy.

Ash looked in the direction of the Aggron and saw an opportunity to increase their chances of winning. ?Sceptile!? Ash yelled, attracting his attention as he knocked down Berserker with a trashcan lid. ?Distract Aggron with your Screech attack!?

Sceptile nodded and made a loud and hideous screech towards Mincer, distracting him from Wes?s pokemon. ?Now! Use your Slam attack!?

With Aggron distracted, Sceptile ran towards him and performed a thunderous jumping kick on the trashcan that the steel-like rhino held on to; making the trashcan hit him on the face.

As Ash gave a small smirk, he heard some cries of pain, catching his attention. He turned his attention towards Black Jack?s pokemon.


Black Jack?s pokemon were losing to Shocker and Samson as they were suffering the pain and damage they received from their battle against Damien.

Ash and Wes tried desperately to help their teammate but to no avail as the opposition repeatedly got in the way. After Chan was knocked down by Shocker?s Thunder Punch, Shocker and Samson began to focus their attack on Tyranitar.

Chan struggled to get to his feet to help his friend but to no avail. His spirit was strong and undying but his body was becoming weak. Still, he kept on trying.

Tyranitar was putting up a valiant effort to try and defeat his opponents, but somehow the opposition found a way to counter back.

?Darn!? Black Jack thought as Tyranitar was getting by Shocker?s Swift attack, which caused explosions after each light energy star hit him. ?Right now, they?re one step ahead of us.?

Tyranitar was knocked down again by Samson?s tackle attack. Tyranitar shook his head to shake away the dizziness and tried to get to his feet. Without waiting for him to fully stand up, all four of the psychotic Machamp?s fists began to glow vigorously.

As he charged towards to give him the finishing blow, Black Jack instinctively ran onto the battlefield and tackled him away, stopping his attack, much to the green dinosaur?s shock.

?You okay?? Black Jack asked in concern. Tyranitar nodded in reply but felt a lot of pain in almost every part of his body.

Before his trainer and friend could say another word, Black Jack was knocked down from behind by Samson and Shocker.

As the injured Tyranitar looked on, both Samson and Shocker grabbed hold of the dazed Black Jack and took him to a near electric box connected to a wall and smashed his head into it, breaking the box as it was sending over a thousand bolts through his head and body. That caught everyone?s attention in the arena and the prison cells and they were shocked to see what was happening.

Black Jack yelled in pain as he felt the bolts surging through his body until the electricity flow stopped. He became motionless and his forehead began to bleed before Samson and Shocker threw him to the floor.

Chan looked on in horror as the green dinosaur slowly picked himself up. He walked over to him and placed his paw on Black Jack?s chest, hoping to feel a little heartbeat? but he felt nothing? and that meant one thing. Tears came running down on Tyranitar?s face.

?He can?t be?? Ash mumbled as tears began to form in his eyes. ?He can?t be??

Tyranitar let out an angry roar and ran at the psychos, as did Chan. ?Team Dark!? Ash yelled. ?You?re gonna regret this!?

?You?re right, Ash!? Wes yelled, who also had tears in his eyes. ?Nothing?s gonna stop us after what you did to him!?

The pokemon that belonged to Ash and Wes also let their tears from their eyes, saddened by their friend?s death and angry at Samson and Shocker as they yelled out their cries, promising to avenge his death.

Four pokeballs that were attached to Black Jack?s belt began to shake violently and the pokemon released themselves from them. They looked round to see what was going on as they felt Tyranitar?s rage.

They looked down on Black Jack?s motionless body. Their emotions became from shock to sadness and anger as they yelled out their loudest battle cries, loud enough to make the whole world hear it. They charged into the battlefield to beat the living out the creatures that hurt their dearest friend. In that case, it was Samson and Shocker.


Suddenly, a number of grunts came running in with various weapons. ?What?s going on here!?? Ash demanded.

?Just get back to your battle, shrimp!? one of the grunts yelled. He turned his attention to Samson and Shocker while the other grunts dealt with Black Jack?s pokemon. ?You two little dogs! Go and finish them off!?

Ash turned his attention to the pokemon that hurt his friend in a bad way. ?C?mon!? he snarled as he beckoned them. ?Show us what you got!?
