Pokémon XD: The Shadow Nebula

[wobbuffetds]

Having read The Great Butler's amazing fanfictions, I decided to make my own based on Shadow Pokémon, and ideas burst in my head of Shadowy darkness everyday for the games I already like with the concept of making good into bad. For those of you who have played MegaMan Battle Network 4, you will realize the idea of the villians is similar in a way to Nebula. This isn't a remake of the game into Pokémon, but a similar idea. For now my friends, read on!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prolouge: The Astroid Approaches...

A large, silver satellite with the symbol of the common nebula on it floating in space above Earth with the usual faces- the scientists there laze and slack there as if they had nothing to do- imagining their life back home but getting even bored since monotonous scenes are what they loved- completely unaware of the events to come.

"This is kind of boring, right?" a worker with a lab coat was lazing in a moving chair with his arms as pillows. "I'm sure this isn't what I signed up for…"

Another scientist came along. "Well its still work. You better keep at it and monitor that screen before something bad happens. You never know what could come."

"Didn't you have any dreams when you decided this was the place for you?"

A third scientist came along with blue hair, small eyes with glasses on. "We all had dreams when we decided to work here. This IS what I expected."

"It's still kind of boring, but you wanted this…?"

"We all did," the third one said. "We all expected big things, but we still have fun."

The second scientist walked by one of the screens with an unexpected face, the same neutral one as the bored scientist. "Nothing new, but the Earth looks nice from here."

One of the many huge screens began flashing an astonishing red, demonstrating the words "ASTROID APPROACHING" And the proof along with a vast asteroid heading to the Earth at this very moment!

"Oh no! This can't be!" the second scientist pointed and yelled at the originally bored one. "This is your screen, so go and do something! Now you can have some fun like you wanted to earlier!"

"Now the party's getting started, and you better be there to stop it!" ordered the third.

"How could I know? Even if I did, how could I stop it?"

"It's the end for all of us…unless…" The second researcher came up to the screen and pressed some buttons, quickly but skillfully- the camera zoomed in to show a closer examination of the impending asteroid reveals that there is some strange lifeform clinging to the approaching rock.

The scientists all clutter up together and think of a plan to stop the impending danger just realized a few seconds ago, and they all understand they have no choice but to resort to an infamous yet brilliant scientist. The name is unspoken, and the three leave the room with a look of rushing fear on their faces. The screen fades away…

Episode 1: Running Errands

A boy with brown hair in a wave and in scarlet pajamas with pictures of Charizard on them wakes up in a bed with pictures of Eevee and its evolutions on it, stretching out his arms and yawning in the light of a fresh day, getting out of bed. He quickly changed out of his pajamas and went into a red blazer with a black undershirt.

"So what time is it?"

He protected his eyes from the sun's rays of the window beside him by putting his hands over it, then walked over to a desk beside him and reached for a PokéBall and the high-tech P*DA, immediately getting an email from someone with a ring-ring tone. He opened it and an automatic voice came out of the person sending it, as it was advanced technology in his hands.

A fatherly light voice came out and said, "I left something for you on the table, as you can see. If you don't already know what it is, it's called the P*DA, and you can use it to call your friends and family anytime you want, consider it a mailbox of sorts. It also has a strategy memo just in case you ever need it, so have fun and thank your mom for letting me buy the thing for you! Well, it was actually one of the devices in the lab, but see ya!"

"So dad got me something for my birthday? Thanks, I guess." He put the P*DA away.
The boy walked downstairs and saw his mom, with red hair and a light lab coat on along with gentle eyes of a mother. "Jaden, can you look for your little sister Mana? She's probably playing at the Kaminko Manor. Since you have rollerblades, I think it would be quicker if you were the one to look for her."

"Sure thing, mom!"

As if he was able to conjure a spell, he slipped rollerblades out of a thin, black backpack with a green zipper out and slipped them on as in-lines. He skated out of the lab with some of the other scientists astonished of his sudden rush.



* * *




His skates graced the open road with trees on fine dirt on the left side of him, and he was soon at the Kaminko Manor to experience ironic scenery compared to the road- what looked like a haunted house with a silver, rusted fountain lost of water in front of him, topped with random thunderbolts causing loud noise, but not actually hitting anything.

"This place looks creepy…why should I care?" Jaden headed into the wooden and creepy doors of the house to see a much more merrier scene- like a playground. A screen was slapped in front when he entered and two doors one on left and right.

A tall lady with blue hair in a beetle wearing a lab coat walked out along with a sibling in her hands, but not an infant, with pink hair and a glossy dress on.

"There you are, Mana!"

The blue haired lab put down the petite girl, and Mana loped over to Jaden in bliss, hugging him as if he saved her. "There you are, big brother!"

The scientist walked over. "She's nice, and I can see she loves you."

"Of course she loves me, I'm her bigger brother!"

The scientist frowned. "And then some?"

"Yeah, I forgot about you," blushed Jaden. "Right aunt Jovi…"

Mana halted hugging Jaden and began leaping in joy. "I love the both of you!"

An old man with tall white hair ending in spikes with a long beard, along with glasses with whirls in the middle, his hands behind his back struggling to walk came over to where the three were. "My greatest assistant…and best choice ever!"

"Who and what…?" asked Jaden.

"Jovi here has been a great assistant since the day she began coming here to annoy me and Chobin. It turns out her annoyance sprouted new ideas."

"Thanks, but Michael always came and took me back to the lab," added Jovi.

Chobin was hiding behind a corner, his hands over his mouth in shock and walked in a short nerdy way backwards more from the scene. "What does he mean Jovi is his greatest assistant? No, Chobin is! Chobin is the number one Kaminko Aide!"

"Well as you can see--"

A snotty Chobin interrupted Kaminko. "Enough! How rude…no more of these words, at least when Chobin's here." He left the room, mumbling.

"What's with him?" wondered Jovi.

"Mom's waiting for you, Mana."

"Okay. Bye old man! Bye Jovi!"

When Jaden was outside and back to the fearful scene, he got an email from his P*DA shocking him as if the machine was obsessed. Opening it, another automated voice message from his dad said, "Hey, I'm kind of waiting for you back here in the Pokémon Lab HQ, so come home as quickly as you can, okay? I want to show you something cool I found when I was looking back inside my old closet."

Jaden slapped on his in-line skates, and had Mana on the back of him ready to take off back to the Pokémon Lab HQ. Mana was laughing and moving like a rampaging washing machine, making Jaden worry he might trip.



* * *



Jaden and Mana made it back to the Pokémon Lab HQ, and Jaden rollerbladed up the railing of the stairs defying gravity and went into the doors of the lab, the scientists amazed yet scared at the speed and accuracy. Jaden's mom was still smack in front of him, as if a stop sign halting him to stop his agility.

"I was worried about you, Mana! You're supposed to tell me when you're going to leave this early in the morning and not just go off without leaving me anything to know you're going to be okay. There are a lot of bad things happening lately and I don't want one of those events happening to my own daughter. Thanks, Jaden."

Mana got off Jaden's back. "I'm here, I promise I won't stay out too late anymore, okay? If I worried you, then sorry!"

"Well alright, but at least you're safe right now. Jaden, your father called you a few minutes after you left and he's still waiting for you upstairs."

"Okay mom. Be up there in a second. I already got an email message from him a little while earlier." Jaden rollerbladed into the elevator, which was already there for him.



* * *




It took him to a room with a counter in it. Jaden's dad was sitting on the counter, he had red hair held up by goggles and a carefree face, jeans, and a labcoat on like the other members of this facility. "Hey, I was waiting for you. Turns out five minutes after you left, I was already five minutes too late!"

"So what did you want to show me?"

"You ever heard what a Snag Machine is?"

"I read something about it in school. It said devices like that were originally used for evil, but it saved the world from evil organizations numerous times, right?"

"You got the facts straight, but I'm wondering if you already know what one can do."

Jaden nodded. "Sorry. Have no idea."

"It's used to steal Pokémon from other trainers, but in the past it has been used by heroes to steal the ones belonging to evil trainers to make them good again. As you can see, Pokémon are only 'bad' when they obey trainers when their owners are evil, but that doesn't mean they're 'evil' themselves. However, numerous organizations in the past have actually been able to break that rule and in fact make them 'evil'."

"Nice story, dad. What a waste of time. I wanted to go back to sleep after helping mom find Mana at the Kaminko Manor."

"You better not go, if you want your real birthday present today." He took something out from a random desk drawer and held it out. The silver, metallic, mechanic object was shaped like a bionic arm with red patterns a round circle in the middle of the hand.

"That looks kind of cool, but I don't have a broken arm—is that what I think it is?!"

"Whatever you set your mind to, Jaden."

"It's a Snag Machine?"

"That's right, and it's going to be your final birthday present. I'm trusting you to take over for me someday and I know someone like you would make me proud."

"Thanks, but…" he accepted the present from his dad's opening hands and wore the Snag Machine comfortably on his left arm and moved it around a little, realizing the hand part was simple as a glove and he could still move the left hand. "It fits fine!"

"The one I used many years ago to destroy Cipher after its rebirth is rusted in more ways than one, but this version is more compact for the sake of it not being too thick, and small is what you kids these days consider 'cool', right?"

"Thanks!" Jaden rose up with energy and struck a heroic pose. "And now I shall protect the Pokémon World from terror and destruction from all those who seek to create it!"

"First you should—" Michael grasped the stool hastily in surprise as he felt a powerful tremor strike below him, and Jaden almost tripped with his legs doing tricks not to.

"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!" an alarm began ringing loudly and making Jaden and Michael's thoughts mixed in disclosure.

"Jaden, go and find out what's going on! I have to stay up here and make sure nobody got hurt from that sudden shake and nothing was knocked over! I'm trusting you!"

"Right!" following the obvious rules of a safety procedure, he rollerbladed left and headed down the emergency escape stairs, rollerblading down the railing in a scuttle.



* * *




Jaden ran into his mom, who was running about and saw him at the right time. "There's a person out there trying to steal all the data, please help us! I know you can!"

"Where is he?"

"He's in the Purify Chamber, right now!"

"Looks like I better get there!" he rollerbladed off.

Getting to the nearby room with a glowing circle in the center with matching patterns leading out of it in perfect formation and some waves of light coming out of it. Some female scientists and a Blissey were there, scared at the situation. A PC and healing machine was also there.

A scientist backed up. "Someone help us!"

Jaden arrived in the room. "Hey you, stop this now or else!"

The person causing the problem was a man dressed in a purple monster outfit looking like a Heel NetNavi in MegaMan Battle Network, having silver spikes appear out of his outfit and a chakra styled face of darkness, along with a threatening stance. "You don't boss me around."

"Looks like you're gonna have to learn this the hard way."




================================================== =========
Pkmn Trainer Jaden vs. Heel
================================================== =========

"You think you can beat me, little kid? Well just try it! Go Machop!" Heel sent out the superpower fighting humanshape.

"You don't scare me! You better get out of here." I have no idea what the heck's in this PokéBall, but there's no time like the present. "Go!" his PokéBall released the normal evolutionist Eevee. "That's new…"

The Snagger's Aura Reader sensed a shadow coming out of the Machop ahead. "Does that mean it's a… 'Shadow Pokémon?' What can that mean?"

"A fighting against a normal? My battle, and you look new to boot. Use Shadow Rush!"

"Shadow Rush…? I never heard of that before…" he commanded, "I don't know what attacks Eevee can do, but here goes: Eevee, use Take Down!"

Eevee charged in, while Machop did the same thing but with a shadow aura, which badly damaged the new Eevee, while the superpower being suffered little.

"That's what you get."

"What do you know?"

Jaden's dad approached the room amid a hastening appearance. "You have to use your Snag Machine to capture Machop! Go and use it now! All you have to do is use one of the PokéBalls you already have with you."

"Okay dad, I guess I have no choice but to trust you." Jaden reached into his pocket, and took his hand out to no avail of a PokéBall. "I don't have one!"

Jaden's dad tossed over a red and white PokéBall, which Jaden caught. "Here you go!"

"What do you think you're doing interfering?" requested the Heel.

"Be quiet already. The PokéBall began charging and had an aura around it with an energy Jaden never felt before. He tossed it for a first.

The PokéBall rocked once…twice…thrice! Machop was caught.

"I better get away while the going's good!"

=================================================




"That wasn't a good thing that just happened to me. I need the data on Shadow Pokémon in the past, so hand it over!"

"Make us," Jaden's dad taunted.

"Empty threats aren't going to get you anywhere, and I snagged your Shadow Machop! Get out of here!"

"You haven't seen the last of the organization…" the Heel left in a black flash.

"What did he mean by the organization, dad?"

"I have no idea, but the Shadow Pokémon are probably going to rise again. You don't have to worry about anything bad happening, because they rose many times in the past and they always got their backsides spanked in the end, anyways."

"I hope you're right…but if you want me to catch more Shadows for you, then—"

"Here's a PokéBall generator. Every time you encounter a Shadow, it should transport a PokéBall from somewhere in the lab to where you are. It's the lab's own invention!"

"Thanks! I can catch regulars also, right?"

"They're not common in the Orre region, but there are some places you can…anyways, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow to the Tech region, so do you want to come?"

"Sure…as long as I won't be a bother to you…"

"Then I'll give you the Tech ticket right now, but I'll let you go between Tech and Orre, so don't worry." He handed over an advanced silver ticket with data rainbows on it. "Your mom called you earlier before the fuss, so get to her, okay son?"

"Sure, and thanks again!" he rollerbladed his leave.



* * *




Jaden got to his mom, sweating from the event occurring earlier but merry everything's backed to normal. "I need for you to do me a favor really quick: Can you go to Gateon Port and get me some package from the postal office? I can't get it right now…"

"Sure, I feel like battling some trainers there also."

 

[wobbuffetds]

Episode 1: Running Errands (Part 2) Commercial break ended with another promoting The Great Butler's next chapter, then a dancing Kids WB tower. This one is going to be WAY more original than the last one, Yami Ryu. I think that for some reason, we're going to end up being best friends.
================================================== ========

Jaden's mom smiled. "Well don't forget to get the thing, or no dinner for you!"

Jaden's face showed believing looks, a worried one. "You're kidding, right?"

His mom laughed after looking at her son's façade, then stopped and put her hand on top of him in a polite way. "Of course I am. Be careful for the sake of it though, okay?"

Jaden felt relieved, then rollerbladed off outside. "I knew you were. See ya!"




* * *




After swiftly riding his way through the gentle parks of western Orre, he arrived in Gateon Port, a beautiful seaport beckoned with ships by the side- some coming from the guidance of the lighthouse ahead while the others leaving with the last few passengers or just friends and family who want a gentle ride around the harbor. Streets were showered with stunning white marble bricks not dirty, and walking on them were populated with sailors having a rest and from the distance; a restaurant shaped like a Krabby could be spotted along with bulkier sailors lying there in the healthy white and blue shine of the sky, with some Wingull flying overhead in circles and other formations to welcome the people and the ships. The lighthouse tall, white and blue were decorated with some people up there just to see the marvelous view from above.

"There's stairs here, and I have skates…hmm…that's a problem…but not one too big for me that is!" he jumped onto the railing, which had little protection as one mistake would send him falling for 12 feet down with other people there, but his bravery sent him sliding down like a train on a railroad and he made it to the bottom, which had a big, square stone, but he vaulted over it with little effort.

One of the people walking around was shocked at the skating. "Don't you know doing something like that's dangerous?"

"Yeah, your point?"

The other person walked away after those words.

"Well know I'm supposed to go to the postal office opened in Gateon Port a few weeks ago." He walked up to a map with many arrows on it and building shapes, pointing over to a blue colored house with the symbol of a mailing letter next to it. "That obviously must be the place I'm supposed to go to…"

Gateon Port was a great place to get mail even though they just made the location a few weeks ago, it has already became a place known in the Orre region to get the information you wanted. It was also the perfect location since incoming ships carried cargo for the people in Orre- and information sent by associates, friends and family over from over other distant lands. As if a new block of land was added over to the Gateon Port, the postal office was to the left of the Krabby Pavilion.

Jaden got there, noticing there were some people walking and standing there with no idea of what they're doing, and some going inside. There wasn't much of a line considering it was huge and there were many aisles there. He went inside and noticed large chunks of packages being imported and exported to the people. Going up to a random receptionist, he asked the woman wearing an easy light-blue blazer. "Can I get the package for my mom right now? She told me to come here and get it for her because she was too lazy to get it herself, so there."

The woman had a dashing smiling face. "That's not nice to talk that way. Of course, but first I need to know the name of your mom before I can hand anything to you."

"Her name is Marcia."

"The famous reporter is your mom? She gave some of us a phone call earlier about how you were going to come here and give her the package when you get back home. Your name must be Jaden then, am I right?"

"Yes. Can I get the thing now?"

"Just a minute." She went a little to the back, which had hundreds of other packages littered all over the shelves, and grabbed one with a metallic color to it, going back and handing the parcel over to the waiting Jaden. "Here it is."

"Thanks! What's in it, though?"

"I don't really know. It's not nice to look in other people's packages, so we didn't. We're probably not even allowed to, but the breaks are nice."

"See ya, and thanks again." He waved goodbye and skated out of the room, some people there with a look of wind rushing through their face, and even wondering why the boy was allowed to skate indoors. "I should get back to my mom before too long, but first I think it's a good idea to get in some battles first."




* * *




When Jaden reached outside, he saw some sailors but was already skating at full speed and crashed into them without being able to brake, these were the big ones that didn't even notice the impact of the innocent kid, but was able to snap a kid's bones in one try and would get angry easily, and they had empty eyes, as their uniforms were big. One of them clenched their fists while the other snickered and held his large hands over the little boy to the worry of Jaden and he feared being hurt by them, especially since this was too early and he wanted to get back home to his mom to give the parcel back. They were bullies and had muscular faces and arms.

"Leave the boy alone." A man with hair in curls rushing down the left and right sides of his face to cover part of his left eye, along with his right eye in the shape of a microscopic glass glowing in the sun with dark red rims came along. He was wearing a white coat, in the fashion of a lab coat but wasn't exactly one with purple streams going into patterns and a red rim in the end of the coat for his serious hands; the man was quite tall, wearing dark purple pants in a tone. The part of his eye seen had a square and empty look with but a small pupil in the middle. He walked by with the emotionless look on his face. "If you want to battle somebody, then battle me. My name is Dr. Regal."

The two sailors stopped their threats on Jaden and approached the man, wishing he would have the same fate they were about to put upon for the boy. "You're going to wish you never interfered!" they both said.

=================================================
Dr. Regal vs. Sailor #1 and Sailor #2
=================================================

"You're going to wish you never met with us!" the first sailor sent out Poliwrath, a dark-blue Water and Fighting type with an angry look on its face and a spiral in the middle with white fists ready to battle. The second sailor sent out Vaporeon, the Bubble jet shaped like a mermaid with its long tail and beady eyes.

[Dr. Regal walks into the field, the emotionless look, and when he stopped, his teeth snickered fearfully and the microscope/binocular lens glowed red in the center] "You two are no match for me, go PokéBall!" not saying the name of the Pokémon he was releasing, he sent out the head of one, shaped like a robot with blue and white rims patterns on it and green triangular eyes, along with a mouth staying shut. The head was floating eerily and the sailors ahead were laughing at it, as it was so small.

"What's that?" Jaden took out his P*DA and directed it towards the floating head. No information available. "No information…? I wonder what kind of Pokémon is it…if is a Pokémon…"

"Poliwrath, use Water Blast!" "Vaporeon, use Water Jet!"

Poliwrath shot out a huge blast of water from the center of its whirl while Vaporeon charged at the head with the form and speed of Quick Attack, except the streak behind it was the color of water and bubbles. The head didn't do anything and was hit with both attacks, but no damage seemed to do anything to the floating head as it remained emotionless as usual and nothing but 'CLANK' and 'PING' sounds were heard when those moves hit the head directly.

Dr. Regal had a confident and casual look. "Kill them…Head of Duo."

"Duo, what's that?" wondered Jaden. "I never heard of it…"

The 'Head of Duo' hovered in the air with a green aura as strong as the glow on its eyes and went above Poliwrath and Vaporeon. Without even blinking, it dropped its head down on them to the ground where none of them were hit, and a white barrier was formed around the 'Head of Duo' which obscured the rest of the field, not allowing the sailors to see their Pokémon, and Dr. Regal blind to what 'Head of Duo' was doing, even though he crossed his arms and didn't care.

The glow got brighter and brighter, hurting Jaden's eyes. "What kind of attack…"

The glow began fading, even though the three Pokémon in the attack still couldn't be seen. After the entire barrier erupted in a wave, Poliwrath and Vaporeon were prone on the ground, and their bodies were being digitized like a data stream. Duo had the same look on its face and returned to Dr. Regal's PokéBall.

A computer voice out of thin air said, "POLIWRATH, DELETED" "VAPOREON, DELETED." Then the two water types were gone.

"We weren't really going to hit him!"

"Our Pokémon. They're gone…!"

=================================================

"What did you do to our Pokémon?"

"Yeah! Where are they right now?!"

"Do you two want to die?" asked Dr. Regal nicely.

"No!" they both ran off, their Pokémon gone and PokéBalls light.

Jaden walked over to Dr. Regal, shy and scared of the power he just saw but kind of grateful the man stopped him from being killed by the two sailors. "Thanks, I guess."

"No thanks needed, those two got what they deserved. They shouldn't have attacked you in the first place, and their Pokémon suffered the price for it."

"So where did you make them go to?"

"Let's just say, they're in a better place."

"Ohh…tell me that's not what I—"

"Actually, they're alive and well. I can't let two Pokémon like that die, right? It's just that they're not with those pathetic sailors anymore. They're in a fun place!"

"I see…well I have to get going right now."

"I have something for you, and I'll prove quite useful while you're purifying Shadow Pokémon, and I'll make your team better to boot. Take this." He took out a disk, like that of a TM, and it was flavored with many different colors. "It's called 'Many Lives.'"

"Is that a song or something?" Jaden accepted the disk. "And how did you know I'm a Snagger of Shadow Pokémon?"

"No, but I'll prove useful to you later. I'll give you a clue to what it does: It brings out the full potential of your Eevee."

"And how did you know I have an Eevee?"

"Just a hunch. Goodbye." The man walked a little, then shot up into the sky as a beam of blue light stretched his body, then disappeared.

"And how did you—"

As Jaden began rollerblading again, questions showered his mind like a rushing waterfall or river, and he began to ponder these ideas: Who was the man he just saw? How did the man know that he was a snagger? How did the man know he owned an Eevee? What was the Pokémon, the 'Head of Duo' was and how did it 'DELETE' those two Pokémon? How did the man teleport away without the help of technology or Pokémon? And finally, what was contained in the disk handed over to him.

The people around him were oblivious to what just happened at the smiling harbor, with the sound of more ships coming in riding on the salty waters which led the air to smell as good as it did right now. While the other people continued on doing what they were doing, amid the crowd was a boy named Jaden pondering all that happened today, including what happened earlier when he snagged the Shadow Machop. Also, tomorrow he would be going on the trip with his father to the 'Tech' region, a land he has never been to. For now, besides the many questions scattered in his mind, he only wants to go home and give his mom the parcel he got from the postal office.

This second episode has Eldes Verich in it, and Eldes fans- you're going to be very pleased on the way things happen in this story. There's a big chunk of new Pokémon in this story, so keep your eyes focused on the screen! Also, please come and read my story every-so-often like the other writers! Sure, I may not be as good as them, but PMing the ones that 'said' they subscribed to it is embarrassing and painful! Enjoy, and don't forget.
================================================== ========

Jaden and Mana both left the Relic Forest and Relic Cave, arriving at the front of the Pokémon Center, still thinking about the battle Jaden was just in.

Mana already sprouted a new idea. "Let's go to the Pokémon Cemetery next! I want to make some friends with the ghosts there!"

"We can't do that, Mana! Remember what Beluh said that if we went there, we might disturb the resting Pokémon and then bad things can happen to us?"

"Fine then, but can we go there for a minutes? I heard that dead things smell good."

"Alright, but only for five minutes, nothing more than that, Mana."

"Thanks, Jaden!"

Mana was leading the way to the gate of the cemetery along with Jaden walking behind, not willing to go but only doing this as a favor for her little sister. They arrived at a silver-colored gate wrapped with vines and showered with pink flowers to welcome anybody daring to go there, but looks like those ornaments didn't work as seen in the inside was nobody of a chance. Some gravestones were scattered across the ground, but it wasn't the stereotypical cemetery where everybody would be frightened and fog would suddenly come out, because there were a lot of full objects next to some of the graves.

"I told you this place was nice, Jaden!" Mana began walking inside with no thought of what could happen. "Follow me, Jaden!"

"Wait up, Mana! You have to be careful and I'm the one in charge." He walked in slowly, still not wanting to go along with this.



* * *




The inside was completely ironic to the sight of the cemetery on the outside, as the nice air to be seen outer quickly turned into a losing fog, making Mana leap in joy and Jaden even more concerned about his little sister as it got worse and worse. The 'pretty flowers and vines' on the outside looked completely dead on the same location seen in the cemetery, and the sound of eerie Pokémon like Murkrow could be seen, and even frightened the worried boy even more as they flew above. More things were even missing as he moved and notice the gravestones had no more objects next to them as seen on the other side, and he moved slowly to notice the sounds of footsteps walking other than his own, sparking fear into the boy. The sun now completely died out and he couldn't see anything, until a white hand suddenly landed upon his shoulder!
"Get off me, whatever you are!" he forcefully pushed the hand off and to his surprise and anger, realized it was Mana playing a joke on him, Jaden was sweating and his heart beating to the astonishment his little sister would do something like that.

Mana almost fell, but rose up laughing. "You fell for my prank, Jaden! You were so scared, and the look on your face was so obvious!"

"You wanted to come here just so that you could scare me?!"

"No, the truth is that I did really want to explore the place, and it's nice so far. I noticed you were already scared before I did that to you," she was still giggling.

"That's because I was worried about you! I hope you know if you get lost, mom's going to chew me out, and then some."

"Fine then, let's get out of here."

They both left the creepy and still foggy cemetery, finding the entrance out of the place quickly, but not noticing a figure with red eyes was watching them…




* * *




They were outside, Mana still jumping up and down from random and unexplainable enjoyment, tugging Jaden endlessly.

"Let's go to Mt. Battle next!"

"Didn't we already go to enough places, Mana? I'm already too tired to go on the flight later with my dad, and it's already 11:00AM! We've been hanging out for four hours!"

"Be that way, but then I'll tell mom you made me cry."

"FINE. But this is the last place we're going before we're going home- I still need to get a little more ready before I go."

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Jaden got a P*DA message:

Subject: Be careful but have fun
From: Mom, Pokémon Lab HQ

Message: I already packed all of your stuff, Jaden; so don't worry about going home and doing anything. All you have to do is get over here by 1:00PM so you can leave for the airport, which has the flight going out at 3:00PM. Have fun for the rest of the time here and make sure Mana stays safe, okay? Love you, goodbye!

"That was pretty redundant…" Jaden put the P*DA away.




* * *




They headed over to Mt. Battle, this time passing over many sticks and stones as they crossed the desert of Orre full of rocks traveling north over to the mountain, and some sand occasionally pushing over as Mana held her hands over her face while bracing on to the back of her bigger brother Jaden, who was rollerblading across the sand with the skates picking up speed. They arrived at Mt. Battle, noticing the top of the huge volcano in the sky covered by many clouds, the rushing lava floating down the side of it and many platforms could be seen on the higher levels if you had a good eye. Mt. Battle was destroyed many years ago, but most of it recovered after the time passing. They were at the entrance, with the two blocks of trees one on the left side and right and the athlete traveling around it, along with the set of stairs leading inside at the end of the middle.

"There…I'm guessing you're really happy now, right Mana?"

Mana got off Jaden. "Yeah, this place is so cool!"

A man with red hair with sunglasses on wearing scarlet, gray and black robes walked by and noticed Jaden, stopping to greet the boy. "My name is Eldes and I'm a fellow trainer, and you appear to be one as well."

Jaden shook hands with Eldes, but had some strange feeling about him. "Where have I heard your name before? Are you a famous trainer or something?"

"I guess you can say that. I'm one of the members responsible for the defeat of several organizations in the past, like Cipher and Enigma Shadow, if that's good enough. May I suggest a battle between two honorable trainers?"

"Another battle, Jaden? Yay! I want to see."

"In that case, fine, I accept. Let's battle right here."

=================================================
Pkmn Trainer Jaden vs. Supertrainer Eldes
=================================================

[Eldes leaps into the air, spins around, and strikes a ninja-like pose. He then sends out a mammal looking like an angry dog ready to strike with flames on its back and hair flowing like jel; a creature looking like a pig ready to strike with seaweed floating on its head as hair and all over its mane, having the disgruntled face of an enraged pig]

"So you have some really rare Pokémon there, Eldes…" Jaden took out his P*DA, pointing over to the two Pokémon and scanning them for information.

"Barklame, the fire dog Pokémon. Type is Fire/Rock, and the evolved form of the Zuki Fire starter Flaruff. They have worked beside humans for many years in helping save lives at stake at the hands of rampaging fires, and are known to even risk their lives to get the people out of the burning buildings, even though its rock hard body makes it impervious to most flames. However, it will only stay loyal if its trainer shows generosity to others like it does so."

"Seaweedo, the Seaweed Pokémon. Type is Grass/Water, and the evolved form of Weedsea. It is known to make much of the seaweed in the Zuki waters, where it came from, more nutritious and powerful in the sense of the word of healing and even supplying others with power from the roots. In addition to that, using attacks like Sea Stumper can even create more water bearing the food for the Seaweedo and its family. Seaweedo are also greatly useful for sushi chefs as it can hunt out the seaweed."

"Those things are pretty rare, Eldes. But that doesn't mean they're not gonna win without a fight! Go Avian and Sparkman!"

"Barklame, use Super Hot Flame and Seaweedo use Status Shield!"

"Avian, use Aerial Ace on Seaweedo and Sparkman use Needle Surge!"

Avian was the quickest, striking Seaweedo with a sharp slice from the sky and doing major damage to it, as the target was a grass-type. Barklame's flames became super hot and white, and released shining rocks that shattered on all Pokémon on the field, making Avian and Sparkman burned from the scorching hot stones. Barklame and Seaweedo however weren't damaged at all, and to the surprise of Jaden, Seaweedo had a green aura.

"Oh no, big brother! Jaden, are you okay?"

"How did my Pokémon get burned but your Seaweedo wasn't affected? I saw those rocks hit the thing directly!"

"The effect of status shield doesn't allow my Pokémon to obtain a status effect, or even get hit by a move involving them in any sense of the word, so yours are burned while mines are protected. Now you see the early strategy I have planned for you."
Sparkman's needle hit Barklame, doing a lot of damage and making it paralyzed, but then it backed up, tired after the strike.

Jaden's turn began, and both of his Pokémon had a flame go through them from the burn before he ordered the next attacks to them. "Sparkman may have done a lot of damage, but it's going to have to recharge for one turn. I might as well protect myself before they take anymore damage, Avian use Safeguard!"

"Why put on a raincoat when you're already soaked? Barklame use Flamethrower on the defending Sparkman and Seaweedo use Healing Leaf."

Avian glowed and put a light barrier surrounding Sparkman and itself to protect against status conditions. Seaweedo was much quicker than Barklame due to its partner's special condition, so it quickly made its many leaves glowed intensely, and then one of them fell into the center of Barklame, suddenly making the dog lose its status condition. Barklame was now refreshed, its flamethrower was much more stronger than usual and knocked out the resting Sparkman without a hitch.

"Return Sparkman. How was that Flamethrower attack so powerful?" Jaden released the blocky Clayman from his PokéBall.

"Easy, I've been training my friends for a long time ago, so that was nothing compared to what I have in store for you. When you used Needle Surge, you activated the special ability of my Barklame, Blaze. It makes Fire-type attacks much stronger so a Flamethrower was the best bet to shut yours down."

"Big brother lost Sparkman? Come on, you can do it!"

"Barklame, Volcanic Burst and Seaweedo, Leaf Protect."

During the beginning of Jaden's orders, a burn flashed through his Avian. He knew Safeguard protected against status conditions in the future, but there was no way it could life the ones affecting the poor bird now. "Avian, Featherbreak take down Seaweedo once for all and Clayman, Rock Slide."

Seaweedo quickly put a green shield with surrounding leaves around it, protecting it. Avian unleashed a sword of feathers somehow breaking the shield of nature and crushing Seaweedo, knocking the pig out.

Eldes returned Seaweedo. "How did you do that, Jaden? Good move. Go Daggerator!" Eldes sent out a dragon-like creature with three ninja stars split into its many tails and the blades of swords coursing through its back. It had some scars coming out of it along with the blood remaining, courtesy of the razor-sharp claws it had on its blue body. It finished off with an angry face of blood along with a yellow Mohawk on its battling face.

"Jaden's going to win, Eldes!"

"I've been studying up on my attacks lately, and Leaf Protect is a move that shields the user indefinitely like Protect, but it doesn't get cut in half each turn when used. However, if the user of Leaf Protect is attacked by a move super-effective against Grass-types, then the barrier is broken and I can attack."

"Daggerator, the Dagger Pokémon. Type is Dragon/Warrior and is the evolved form of Sharpoile. Daggerator are able to practice the art of ninja, using many different sharp tools around them appearing to seem harmless but have the capability to destroy many things easily. Even the tail isn't innocent; it can slash through steel with ease."

"Good moves you've done so far. That was a mistake on my account, Jaden. Barklame, it's time to use Super Hot Flame on Avian while Daggerator uses Triple Star on all!"

"Avian, Aerial Maneuvers and Clayman, protect!"

Clayman put up a green barrier around it to protect itself while Avian immediately moved super fast around the field, increasing its Speed and Evasiveness to make Barklame's white ball of energy miss its mark. Daggerator was ready to attack, jumping in the air and throwing three ninja stars glowing in the center randomly at Avian and Clayman; Clayman was protected with its attack so Avian kept flying away, but the stars chased it until the flying humanoid was hit three times, knocking Avian out.

"Avian's out too…you can still do it Jaden!"

"How were you able to hit my Avian with all three of the stars? I thought Triple Star hit random, and even if you did choose the targets of those attacks, they should have missed because Aerial Maneuvers makes sure all attacks miss for one round!"

"I'm brushing off on my skills and no longer taking any more chances, so this attack does let me control the targets, but in addition to the effect, it never misses. Sorry…"

"It sure is fun battling you, Eldes." Jaden returned Avian and released what looked like a tubby little kid in a baby-blue diving outfit, having a green visor and a tube above him covering his spoiled looking face with big pink lips. "Go Bubbleman, Bubble Chase Barklame, and Clayman, Mud Shot whatever you think is right!"

"You didn't give some good orders with your moves…Barklame, Smokescreen. Daggerator, Dagger Slasher."

Barklame unleashed a cloud of gray smoke onto the field to shroud it and make the humans cough a little. Bubbleman unleashed many bubbles from the tube above it from where it was standing without moving and they began approaching the enemy, along with Clayman shooting a mud ball out of its mouth to hit Daggerator for some damage. Daggerator leaped in the air even with the smoke still on and slashed Clayman head on for some damage, but not too much considering Clayman had great defense.

"I knew Bubble Parade wouldn't get its way there, Jaden. Mud Shot was also a random hit, so it didn't make much of a difference."

"Just watch for a little and you'll see what I mean!"
The smoke cleared to allow the people watching to see what Jaden meant, and the bubbles approaching the Barklame got more and more quick until they hit Barklame many times, pushing the dog back until it fainted.

Eldes was surprised. "Good move you did there, but how did you manage to do something like that? The bubbles should have lost their way in the smoke since they didn't have any direction from the one using it. Tricky one you pulled off there."

"Well as I could have told you earlier, when a Pokémon uses Bubble Parade, the bubbles are unleashed on the first turn, but after all the attacks made by the Pokémon are over, it startles the target with them at the last second!"

Eldes returned Barklame. "Very smart, I knew you were one of the trainers able to think for himself. Go Magnetrivu!" Eldes released an Electric-type looking much similar to Magnetric, except most of its body was more curved like wires, having its tail longer and sleeker, along with a head having a silver armor helmet on complete with the body set.

"Magnetrivu, the Electric Wire Pokémon. Type is Electric/Steel, and is the evolved form of Magnetric due to high energy levels of electricity in its fur and the power of Metal Coat. Magnetrivu are known to make electric currents travel for miles due to sources in its armor and can even make other attacks hit due to the ability. Since it can attack from a far distance from energy transfers, attacks can hunt down food and destroy whatever it wants even when it's asleep or at an immense vastness."

Mana was amazed, "So where'd you get that? It looks cool and cute, Eldes."

"It evolved from my Shadow Magnetric after it was purified. I never wanted it to fall in any condition such as being a Shadow, and raised it with love when it was one and before any of the business happened, so here it is, in front of you today.

"Let's see if it's as good a battler as it is good in looks. Clayman, Mud Shot Magnetrivu and Bubbleman, Bubble Bomb!"

"Daggerator, Swords Dance and Magnetrivu, Energy Dance."

Magnetrivu glowed with many colors and orbs surrounded it, increasing its Special Attack by two levels while Daggerator performed a ritual with its tail, increasing its Attack level by two as well. Bubbleman 'swam' in the air with the same motions as if you were in a pool or the ocean and unleashed a barrage of water orbs, crashing into Magnetrivu several times but seemed to only increase its Special Attack as the beast glowed and conducted electricity from the water, then got hit by a thunderbolt and was automatically fainted as if the attack somehow went against it in more ways than one- a shock on Jaden's face. Clayman threw a ball of mud at Magnetrivu, hitting it directly but somehow bouncing off the advanced armor, even though the other effect of Mud Shot still lowered the Speed of its target by 1.

"How did my Mud Shot not do anything to your Magnetrivu? It's an Electric so it should have been super-effective, and being Steel won't help. What happened?"

"Once again you have underestimated the abilities of my Pokémon. When any physical moves hit Magnetrivu, the damage of the move is completely negated thanks to a PokéBody called Wire Armor. In addition, its Conduction PokéPower automatically knocks out any Water-type attacking it, as long as the attacker can be hit by Electric moves. Another side note is that if it's hit by a Water attack, regardless of who did the move, the user is paralyzed, meaning if it was raining, you would have had it in for you."

"Pretty powerful thing you have there." Jaden returned Bubbleman and sent out the flaming woman Burstinatrix out of her PokéBall. "Burstinatrix, Burstfire on Magnetrivu and Clayman, use Protect!"

"Daggerator, Sword Clash and Magnetrivu, Thunderbolt Burstinatrix."

Clayman used Protect to create a green barrier around it. Magnetrivu was unleashing a powerful Thunderbolt on Burstinatrix, but Clayman jumped in the way by activating its PokéBody: Clay Defense, and taking the hit. Since it was a ground type, no damage was done to it and its preserved was safe. Burstinatrix was making a round wall of flame grow bigger and bigger, then flipped it at Magnetrivu to make the armored dog faint, since Fire was good against Steel.

"Return, Magnetrivu. You made a very surprising move with your Clayman, protecting your attacker was a good plan, and makes for a good battle. Go Flygon!"

Daggerator attacked Clayman, possibly because Thunderbolt was meant to defeat Burstinatrix, but the slashing attempt on the clay statue failed since Protect was still activated from earlier.

"New round then, right Eldes? Clayman, Ice Beam on Flygon and Burstinatrix, attack Daggerator with Dragon Claw!"

"Flygon, Fly on Burstinatrix and Daggerator, Battle Clash!"

Flygon flew high into the air, making Clayman's attempt at Ice Beam miss, and it would have did a lot of damage considering Ice moves do four times the damage against Flygon and Vibrava. Burstinatrix charged up her claws with dragon power and rushed to slash Daggerator, but the lizard had more plans- it waited until after and while the fiery lady was attacking before it charged in on its own, causing a battle of power in the center of the field. Dragon Claw's type advantage took down Daggerator, but the charged up strength of Battle Clash thanks to Swords Dance a few turns ago blew the lady down for the count, both defeated and returned to their PokéBalls.

Mana was astonished. "Now both of them are down? This battling thing can get really complicated, but it looks kind of fun…I'm definitely being in the next one!"

Jaden was smiling at his sister's enthusiasm. "Battling is fun, and I'm learning a whole bunch from Eldes over here!"

"I'm getting a lot from you too Jaden. Kids teach also, don't forget, and we're down to our final two Pokémon so let's make this a good one!"

"Sure! I choose Wildman!" Jaden sent out what looked like a warrior. He had a wolf-like face showered with what was more like fur than hair. Wildman carried a sword behind his back, no clothes for the top of his body with huge muscles and abs.

"My final Pokémon shall be the one I have obtained when I was a child, back when I began training…go Hikarijask!" Eldes sent out a creature that looked much like a Ninjask but with a shining white aura around it.

"Hikarijask, the savior Pokémon. Type is Bug/Flying. Hikarijask evolve from Ninjask when the Ninjask's trainer has done a selfless deed to help others. Many consider it to have near-legendary status. It has the power to wipe evil from hearts, and is said to be able to instantly purify Shadow Pokémon."

"That thing's pretty good, Eldes…did Hikarijask originate from a Nincada you owned?"

"Something like that, thanks for the remarks. Let's see if you can stand up to the power of Hikarijask- Hikarijask, Time Bell."

"Clayman, Rock Slide on Hikarijask, and Wildman, Reverse Claw on Flygon!"

Hikarijask gave off a sound that was not unlike that of an angel's singing. Both it and Eldes's Flygon were powered up by the sound, as their Attack and Speed rose by one. Flygon used Fly, diving from the air with force and hitting Wildman, but for some reason the target of the aerial attack didn't take any damage- Wildman's claws were glowing for the attack it was about to use, but didn't do anything yet. Clayman caused many rocks to roll and hit Flygon, doing little damage and Hikarijask, doing little damage strangely.

"How did my Clayman's Rock Slide not knock out your Hikarijask? Shouldn't it be a Bug and Flying, meaning it would take four times the damage?"

"On the contrary Jaden, no. When Ninjask evolves into Hikarijask, it gives up the Flying type for Light, making it only take twice the damage. The true point is the special ability of Hikarijask, Light Boost, recovers its HP by half the amount done to it after the attack, so it just got it back, and it will continue gaining back that exact amount of points every turn until another move dealing damage hits it."

Hikarijask glowed and gained back the HP it lost from Rock Slide.

"Since the entire round is over, time to activate the effect of Reverse Claw, which was just beginning the moment your Flygon struck my Wildman. What happens is the type of Reverse Claw is the one of the attacker, and then some."

Wildman's claws glowed, then attacked with orange and white glowing claws, doubling the power of Reverse Claw and striking Flygon with Dragon-type damage to faint it.

"Jaden's going to beat you now, Eldes!"

"Return, Flygon. Now I'm down to one Pokémon, but not for long, because Hikarijask's Light Boost heals it a chunk, then the ultimate move: Reverse Bell!"

"Reverse Bell…what's that? Anyways, time to finish Hikarijask off- Clayman, Rock Slide and Wildman, Aerial Ace!"

Clayman and Wildman obeyed and jumped, getting ready to use their respective attacks, but just before they would both hit Hikarijask directly, unbelievably out of the blue Barklame and Seaweedo appeared onto the field to intercept their attacks- but with the strong difference they were glowing white with ghostly flavor! Clayman and Wildman failed in their attacks, and the ghostly figures were still there to Jaden's surprise.

"Those things are so scary…make them go away, Jaden."

"How did you get your Hikarijask to make them appear? Ghosts don't just appear out of nowhere like that…okay, so what they do, but there has to be a reason."

"Just like I would defend my Pokémon from anybody at any cost, they would do the same thing for me to win a battle, and that bond is what allowed my Hikarijask to learn Reverse Bell- a move permitting me to summon the hearts of my defeated Pokémon after all five of them are having a rest- Hikarijask being the only one left. You've put up a good fight, but now feel the full onslaught of my entire team!"

Daggerator, Magnetrivu and Flygon appeared in the same glowing and ghostly form, charging energy to do their attacks. They were ready, and all beat Clayman along with Wildman with their charged power, making both of them faint. The ghostly figures disappeared in a flash and Hikarijask returned itself back.

"A good battle you put up, Jaden."

"Pretty good one…better get to training.
=================================================

"Big brother, you lost," Mana ran over to Jaden almost crying as tears dwelled up inside her brown eyes. "What happened…?"

"Don't worry about it, Mana. It was just a fun battle and not the kind you're in to help save the world like the ones we've seen in movies and books. I'm pretty happy you brung me here, because I got to fight Eldes- a great trainer!"

Eldes walked over, smiling at the thought of the battle they just had. "Speaking of which, there will be a big battle soon…I don't know how, but for some reason I have the idea you are going to be related to it in some way, and possibly even one of the battlers. Very good battle you gave me, Jaden. I think I learned a lot from you, thank you for that."

Jaden chuckled, brushing his hair back. "I learned a lot more. Just because a person's down to one Pokémon and facing two doesn't mean anything now, does it? Normally that happens a lot when you lose a Pokémon first."

"You're pretty nice, Elmo!" giggled Mana. "Elmo's world!"

"His name is Eldes- don't be rude, Mana. Mom wouldn't like that."

"Don't worry, Jaden. It's nice to see your little sister has a sense of humor…I have to go now, and you probably have other things to do as well."

"No he doesn't! All he has is free time with me, his little sister. Next we're gonna go to the top of Mt. Battle and beat the person in charge, then Jaden's going to take over the place and we can make it our funhouse!"

Jaden looked inside his pocket, grabbing out his P*DA and began pressing many buttons on it to get what he desired.

"That might not be a bad idea, Mana. Your brother would do fine. I already took down the Mt. Battle Master, and he almost beat me, so there's a good idea there."

Jaden looked at the P*DA, shocked. "It's 1:00PM right now! I have to get my stuff over at the…oh wait, mom already gave the things to dad…but I still need to go over to the airport, which is going to take about an hour, then we have to go through the security process, registration and other airport stuff! I'm going to be too late…"

"I can give you a ride there, Jaden," offered Eldes.

"But you don't have a car with you or anything! It's gonna take forever to hail a cab…"

Eldes snapped his fingers, and suddenly out of the air a large maroon helicopter made a landing quickly behind him, startling the other people there, surprising Jaden and Mana.

"I can offer you a ride, and we'll be there in about ten minutes."

 

[wobbuffetds]

I managed to finish chapter three, and finally there's a plot device in there, along with a cute former Cipher Admin we all know and love, Eldes following along for the ride! Take a guess of who the big boss of the story is, and it's so obvious you have to live under a rock in order to not know...I obviously won't tell you, but some points for the references of who Crusher and Crosser are to the members able to do so (Clue: From MegaMan Battle Network 4).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Episode 3: Just in Time for the Ride!

Jaden and Mana climbed into Elde's large red helicopter and it immediately went off with a trail of wind behind them blowing on the people below.

Jaden looked down at his watch, relieved. "Thanks a lot, Eldes. I would've been late without you and then dad with have flipped over me doing something like that."

"So what you're saying is you want me to drop you off at the airport, then you can get to your father in time for your flight, am I right?"

"That's right!" remarked Mana. My big brother's going to the Tech region, where there's super-cool things to touch and play with! I'm going with him."

"No you're not, Mana. Mom doesn't even know where you are right now and she even trusted me with her, so you have to go back over to the lab. Besides, we didn't plan on you coming along."

"So you want me to drop Mana off over at the lab, Jaden?"

"No no no! I want to come with Jaden over to the Tech region!"

"You can't," ordered Jaden, "and besides, mom said she was going to give you something later…"

"The airport's a little more closer to where we're going right now, so let's head over there first so you can get with what you want to do with the flight, then I'll drop Mana over at the lab when you're ready, agreed?"

"Fine then, but I'm coming with you next time, Jaden."

"So what's your main purpose of going over there, Jaden?" asked Eldes.

"Dad told me to come there for some reason, but he didn't tell me yet," answered Jaden. "Maybe he just wants someone to come along with him for the ride? School's over, but he always has work, so he probably wants me there for that reason."

"Then he should bring me along!" yelled Mana.

"For the last time, mom said she had something cool to give you earlier, and besides, someone needs to entertain her at the lab."

"I see," said Eldes. "A surprise is always something to be happy about… we're going to be there in a few seconds, so don't worry…"

Jaden and Mana could already feel the helicopter arriving at the location of the airport, at the arrival of planes where a helicopter was an outcast compared to the other planes around, and they would come out in the white tube of the entrance and leaving. The other planes were scattered around, and some of the employees working there noticed their 'unique' ship, but didn't take any care to it, continuing on their woes of work. The door of the red ship opened, and they walked through the tube ironic to the path Jaden was supposed to be taking the other way, and arrived in the waiting room. There was already Jaden's dad in one of the seats, looking at his watch with thoughts of when Jaden would arrive as they promised earlier, and also a peculiar man the hero met earlier named Dr. Regal was there as well, to his surprise.

Dad walked over to Jaden. "So you're finally here, Jaden. I guess you managed to avoid the security process by going over this way, and that's going to make your life easier- it took me an entire hour to get over the boring thing. Anyways, I see Mana's here, and a person I don't even know but looks so familiar…"

Eldes walked over to Michael. "I feel as if I have met you earlier before as well, although it may have been so many years ago…were you the one who saved the world from the impact of Cipher a long time ago?"

"Yes, and now I think about it, I do remember you. Your name is Eldes…and you're a former Cipher, now turned to the side of good and greatly benefiting the frontier. Truly helpful and there whenever we need it. I also remember facing you in the Orre Colosseum long ago, as rivals- not enemies."

Mana hugged her dad. "So I'm guessing you two are friends or something? His helicopter was so cool and I had a really good time riding on it."

"You were riding in Eldes' helicopter?"

"Yes, I decided to let them come along when Jaden told me he wouldn't have made it in time by just rollerblading there. I have also battled your talented son, and he gave me quite a fight, using strategies I have never seen before."

"Thanks for letting my son and daughter ride on it. Michael looked down at Mana with a confused look. "Mana, aren't you supposed to be with your mom…?"

"I was with Jaden all day and he was so much fun to be with," Mana tipped her feet around a little before asking: "I don't know if it's too much of a bother, but can I come along with you to wherever you're going?"

"We didn't plan things out for you to come along, Mana," replied Michael. "I would take you along, but there's a lot of things going around and you know…"

"I'm going to be too much of a bother to you and Jaden, right?" finished Mana.

"No…it's just that…" started Michael.

"I'm going to get all of you into trouble and then some, right?"
Dr. Regal, who was standing by at the receptionist right after going through the security system, walked by with two people by his side. One of them was a pale-green complexion with yellow eyes, a goatee, and fangs finished with pointy ears for his face; he wore what looked like a red cape with black lines going through it along with sharp feet, overall resembling a vampire. The other had a visor on his face and a big 'U' magnet on his back, a completely metallic black body with glowing blue lines traveling through his veins- the three-pointed feet as the other. They walked over with the two in front as if they were his protection, and up to Michael.

"I see you're going to the laboratory as well, my friend," greeted Dr. Regal. "Well, I look forward to seeing the plan you have set for the incoming danger."

Michael noticed Dr. Regal, and they both shook hands. "My amigo, Dr. Regal! Nice to see you, and you can read me like a book- I am going over to the lab over there. We need to do something about…"

"About what?" interrupted Mana.

"It's nothing, just an experiment gone astray," finished Michael. "Jaden, can you come over here, and if you want, come over as well, Eldes."

"For what?" asked Jaden, walking over anyways, along with the silent Eldes.

"This is Dr. Regal," introduced Michael. "He is a friend of mines, and…"

Dr. Regal walked over to Jaden, giving him a handshake. "Nice to see you again, Jaden. I see you're related to a great mind…"

"Nice to see you again as well, Dr. Regal. So you're going to be on the same flight me and my dad are as well?"

"How did you know…" began Michael.

"I was helping mom by going over to the postal office earlier, and I was ambushed by some thugs. He helped me greatly with his Pokémon- I can still thank him!"

"Who's the creepy looking man…?" mumbled Mana.

Eldes introduced himself: "I am Eldes, former member of Cipher and now member of the Pokémon G-Men."

"So you are?" asked a curious Dr. Regal. "I would trust my life with you along with my two friends here if anything were to happen, then."

"I guess so, but some people still don't trust me whenever they see my face. Even after a decade my name is still poisonous to some ears."
"I'm sure they'll get over it someday," reassured Dr. Regal. "Let the man get a second chance…even though he never intended any vilification, right people?"

Dr. Regal, his bodyguards, Michael, Jaden and Mana all said in unison, "Right!"

A group of men dressed like the Heel in the lab Jaden battled earlier appeared, and suddenly they all grabbed Dr. Regal with surprise and force. Dr. Regal struggled to escape, and caused attention around the room.

"Let go of me, monsters!"

"Let the human go…now," ordered the Vampiric looking one.

"Battle us instead," challenged the one in the visor.

"Fine then," the Heels let go of Dr. Regal.

=================================================
Bodyguard Crusher vs. Heel Estel
=================================================
"Face the power of my dogs! Go my two Poochyena!"

"Crobat and Crice…" Crusher sent out his Crobat and a freezing standing icy looking vampire with his claws over his body and teeth shaking in the frost. The red eyes of the icy one stared with fear.

Crice, the Fallen Angel Pokémon. He is sadistic, delighting in the pain he deals on others. He is the frozen counterpart of Devince, shooting ice from some parts of its body to induce torture on random people. Not much is known about it.

"Poochyena #1, Crunch. Poochyena #2, Poison Fang."

Crusher leaped and flew like a bat with his wings to the path of the attacking Poochyena, taking both of the attacks with his wings guarding his body, but no damage was done to him. After the 'hit', his body was a shadow and led back to where he was standing.

"How did you do that?" asked the Heel.

"Something you've never understand…Crobat, Air Cutter. Crice, Double Ray…"

Crice made a wave of rainbow energy starting from a spellcasting spotlight on the floor raise up over Crobat. Crobat sent out blue rays which both knocked out the Poochyena.

"Return, Poochyena. Face the power of more of my friends!" he threw two more PokéBalls which released another double-Poochyena.

Crobat attacked with another Air Cutter, which knocked them both out.

"Gah! Man's best friends didn't defend me!"
=================================================

"How were you able to take both of those attacks by getting in the way?" asked Jaden.

"Wasn't that cheating?"

"On the contrary, it wasn't…" answered Crusher. "They wanted a street fight, well they got what they deserved…"

"What do you think we are, chopped liver?" one of the remaining Heels rose up and walked over to them.

The visor-wearing bodyguard rose up. "Join us…"

=================================================
Bodyguard Crosser vs. Heel Zamb
=================================================
"The other guy thought he was cool with his dogs, well live up to the power of insects! Go Silcoon and Cascoon!" he released his two cocoons.

"Stop offending us with your wimps… Go Magneton and Mechadra!" he released Magneton and a dragon appearing to be completely covered in metal- a massive chimeric style monster with huge claws and machinery.

Mechadra, the Machine Pokémon. Type is Machine/Dragon. He is a Machine Digimon with seemingly unlimited power. Built from the parts of various cyborgs, his body is 95% composed of metal. Being chimeric, he possesses the head armor and right Booster Claw, the helmet on his kneecaps, the enlarged Psycho Blaster (times two) on his back, the trident arm, and the jaw. He is fueled only by the urge to destroy. His intelligence and strength overwhelm his opponents.

"I'm not going easy on you like the last goon!" he took out a blue and green bomb, throwing it directly at Crosser.

"Pathetic. Starbreak Laser!" Crosser released a twirling laser from the two 'magnets' on the back of him and completely destroyed the bomb, then caused part of the ceiling on his side to break apart. Rocks began to fall on the Heel's side of the field and soon, Silcoon along with Cascoon were knocked out to Crosser's laughter. "Before the battle even began, it already ended…"

"Return, Silcoon and Cascoon. This guy can attack as well…?" he released Metapod and Kakuna next after recalling the other two. "Harden, both of you!"

"Defensive attacks don't get past these moves. Magneton, Magnet Booster and Mechadra, Giga Cannon!"0

Magneton charged with electricity, and then released it on Mechadra to increase its Special Attack points, followed by the dragon releasing energy blasts from the cannons behind it, destroying both Metapod and Kakuna.

"I have two more! Go Beautifly and Dustox!"

"Giga Cannon hits ALL Pokémon when they're sent out…"

Mechadra released more energy blasts, destroying the evolved insects.

"They're not evolved enough…"
=================================================

"Gah! How are they defeating us…?" the Heel who just lost ran over to the other three in a worried way. "They're not gone yet…"

Two more Heels stepped up and said in unison, "Maybe it's because we never got a Shadow Pokémon yet…?"

Heel #1 whispered to Heel #2, "Maybe we should ambush the kids…?"

"Sure…sounds good…" they both rose up, then ran over to Jaden and Mana with a streak, making the two worry.

"What do you want with me and my big brother?"

"Don't worry…I'll settle this."

"NO! LET'S MAKE THIS A TWO ON TWO!" they demanded.

=================================================
Pkmn Trainer Jaden & Baby Sis Mana vs. Heel Somn & Heel Nambt
=================================================
"Gah, they're little kids! Go Syako!" "They're so small! Go Haguru!" one of them sent out a water-type resembling a clam, while the other was a golden and silver cog.

"Use the Eevee I lent to you, Jaden!" advised Michael. "Good luck, Mana!"

"Okay! Go Eevee, show them something!" "Go Clovescarf, wash them away!" Mana sent out what looked like a huge flatworm with a carefree face and a crown on, a yellow and blue body dazzling to the people watching it.

"Syako, Black Pearl Shot!" "Haguru, Darkness Gear!"
"Eevee…Bite…?" "Clovescarf, Magical Flood!"

Syako shot a black pearl, which hit Eevee, but for some reason, nothing happened as it passed through. Haguru shot a dark gear at Eevee as well, doing no damage.

"How did that Eevee…?" "It stopped our attacks!"

"Dad, what happened?" "That Eevee's so cute!"

"We know those Pokémon are either artificial or you somehow created them out of thin data, and Eevee can stop them!" explained Michael. "Data, Vaccines, Viruses and Binaries can't attack Eevee."

Clovescarf sent out a wave of light, which knocked out Syako and Haguru. Instead of returning to their PokéBalls, they both went off in a data stream.

"Useless data! Never trust computers…" "I thought they were viruses!" they both threw two more PokéBalls, releasing Poliwag and Zubat.

"Good, they're regular…" started Michael.

"No! Think again!" his Aura Reader showed they were both Shadow Pokémon and the aura was seen for the rest of the people. "What am I supposed to do again?"

"Wah! They're Shadows!" complained Mana. "Are they going to hurt us…?"

"Not if you Snag them," answered Michael.

"Enough talk, Poliwag, Shadow Darkside!" "Zubat, Shadow Beam!"

Poliwag made the field extremely dark, preventing anybody from seeing anything, then Zubat shot out a powerful beam at Eevee, knocking it out, then Michael saw his Pokémon on the ground defeated.

"Oh no…now what?" Jaden was about to reach for Eevee.

"You can still use its special ability, Evolution Booster!" directed Michael.

"Okay then…Eevee, activate your special ability, Evolution Booster." Eevee responded by glowing with a shadowy aura, and then glowed with darkness to evolve. After the glow faded, Eevee was different, having fangs and spiked, silver fur all over- a monster with glowing red eyes and the shadowy aura.

"Oh no…maybe it was a bad idea…" groaned Michael. "Your Eevee is now Shadeon for the rest of the battle…when you used Evolution Booster, Eevee evolves into a Pokémon of the same type of the move fainting it, so be careful: it's a shadow-type. Use its attacks and give them a taste of their own medicine!"

"What happened to your Eevee?" asked Mana. "It looks so…evil…"

"Don't worry, Mana." Jaden turned over to his dad still with a look of confusion shattered on his face. "What kind of attacks can it use?"

"I don't know…" Michael felt like a fool for having Eevee evolve into a shadow creature, but not knowing the skills it could utilize.

"Shadow Drain…" answered Dr. Regal.

"Are we invisible or something?" "Make your move before we do!"

"Fine then, Shadow Drain, Shadeon." "Help out, Clovescarf, with Guarding Wall!"

Shadeon glowed with shadows, and suddenly Poliwag along with Zubat were drained over to Michael's side and the aura from both of them was absorbed and added to Shadeon, along with all of their HP until they only had ONE left.

"It's a good time to snag them now…" recommended Dr. Regal.

"Okay! Snag Ball, go!" he charged up a PokéBall appearing from the transporter, and threw it at the Zubat.

It rocked…once…twice…thrice! Zubat was snagged.

"Do I have to do everything? Poliwag, Shadow Sky." "Gah! My Zubat is snagged. I have to use a regular…? Go Poliwhirl…" he sent out a regular Poliwhirl.

Poliwag sent out an orb of shadow energy, which exploded in the sky. At the beginning of Jaden and Mana's turn, the orbs began falling, no damage done to Shadeon and Poliwag since they were both shadows, but hit Poliwhirl. Clovescarf put up a water barrier, which somehow protected itself from the orbs.

"How did your Clovescarf not get hit by my Poliwag's Shadow Sky?" "You made my Poliwhirl get hit, idiot!"

"The attack Clovescarf used protects itself from all moves which do damage other than attacking regularly!" explained Mana.

"Snag Ball, go!" he threw one at Poliwag and it landed on the ground.

It rocked…once…twice…thrice! Poliwag was snagged.

"I have to use a regular now? Go Golbat!"

"Have Shadeon use Shadow Noise…" directed Dr. Regal.

"Okay then. Shadeon, Shadow Noise!" "Clovescarf, Protect!"

Clovescarf created a green barrier to protect itself. Shadeon unleashed huge shadow sound waves out of its mouth, which destroyed both Golbat and Poliwhirl on the spot when they heard the sound, and all the people in the room braced their ears.

"We had Shadow Pokémon!" "How can we lose?!"
=================================================

Jaden's Shadeon returned back to its original form. "That was a strange experience…good thing my Eevee's back to normal…"

"That guy has a weird Eevee!" "We have to tell the boss about this…" the two ran off with the other Heels and mumbled to each other.

* * *​

"Good battle you two put up, Jaden and Mana," complimented Michael. "You managed to Snag two Shadow Pokémon already…"

"Thanks dad, it was fun battling with Jaden- he's so cool…" Mana looked down at a PokéBall in Jaden's belt. "That Eevee was so…different…"

"Mana, you weren't so bad yourself, nice protection stuff you had there." He took out the PokéBall of the Eevee he used and held it in his hand, "You're right, it was kind of strange. Dad, what makes this Eevee…so…you know?"

"All Eevee are united in the art of evolution in some way, even though its relationship to change may be different from the other, as if the ability to change into many other forms normally isn't already strange enough," explained Michael. "The unique difference about this one is that it can evolve temporarily into a form when it's attacked depending on the type of the move used against it, similar to the 'Color Change' ability Kecleon possesses. Nothing so poisonous about it though, other than the form it just changed into."

"I see you were able to master the ability of shadow attacks," remarked Dr. Regal. "I never thought one like you would be able to use them so effectively…maybe you shall be the next person to save the world from destruction should evil ever rise again, as long as you are able to keep the power under your control and not release it to the earth."

Michael turned over to Mana. "So, now that all of the stuff happened a little while ago, doesn't look like you're going to be able to go back home after it, right? Since you already got past the security system along with Jaden, I guess you can come with us if you want to, okay Mana? Be careful if you do want to though, okay?"

"Yay! I can come along!" Mana jumped up twice her size and kissed her dad in the face happily, going back down. "So we're gonna have so much fun when we're there?"

Eldes strutted over as well. "So looks like you're getting the chance to go somewhere else with your bigger brother, Mana- have fun…I only wish I was able to have some enjoyment with my brother- never do…best of luck…"

"What do ya mean you don't have fun with your brother, Eldes?" asked Mana. "Everybody should have fun with their family all the time- that's the main reason why I wanted to come along in the first place!"

"It's a long story, it seriously is. Many years ago, back when I was with a 'certain group of friends', my big brother was 'hanging out with us'. When those 'friends' left the group, my brother went somewhere and entered other 'sports teams' and I've never been able to have any time with him…well I have met him several times before with those 'ever changing friends of his', but things kept 'getting in the way'…"

Mana understood and nodded. "I think I know what you mean…best of luck with the situation you're in, then! You already made friends with the lot of us over here."

"You could come with us to the Tech region if you want to, Eldes," suggested Michael. "Since we all already got past the security system, and usually the system's the time to see if you can ride or not, go and have some fun with us!"

"Sure…I guess," replied Eldes. "You're sure I won't be a bother, will I?"

Michael gave Eldes a pat on the back. "The more the merrier, I always say." Next he whispered something over to the red man, "I bet you can help us with the work over there, seeing as you're a member of the Pokémon G-Men."

"I'll try my best," answered Eldes. "I have heard of the situation over in Johto and I'm more than willing to contribute whatever I can."

The intercom suddenly spoke. Ding, dong! The flight from the Orre Airport to Tech Airlines is about to depart; passengers please get on the plane before the leave. We hope you have a good ride on the Pokémon Airlines.

"That's our flight," stated Dr. Regal. "Let's go."

Episode 3: Just In Time For The Ride! [Scene 2][Part 1]

Jaden along with his dad Michael and little sister Mana with their friend Eldes, followed by Dr. Regal and his two strange bodyguards got onto the plane the moment it arrived, eager to explore the insides and get to where they were supposed to be.

Mana looked around in the plane with its silver walls and many seats, sitting in one of them before knowing where she was supposed to go on, "This place looks so much fun! I bet we can play hide-and-go-seek here all day!"

"Come on, Mana," urged her dad. "Our seats are this way, and they're going to be something I know you of all people would be excited about."

"Where are we going again?" asked Michael. "I get it…"

They all entered the first class section after a little bit of walking- which composed of two couches facing each other, a television set in the middle and a refrigerator on the side of gentle welcoming plants, accompanied with more of life's comforts: Jaden, Michael, Mana and Eldes in one set; Dr. Regal and his bodyguards on the other.

Jaden took a soda from the fridge by his side. "How did you manage to get one of these super-cool first class seats, dad? I always wanted to be in one of these but I've only seen them on TV by one of those rich guys or families."

Mana was eating an ice cream bar from the fridge as well. "Yeah dad, I've seen these pretty things on TV, but yay! A TV's right over there!" she turned on the TV, revealing an episode of Pokémon on at the time.

"Seeing as I'm on a business trip, a certain person over in the Tech region arranged the trip for me, and was generous enough to offer this perfect plane setting for me," clarified Michael. "I'll spill the beans…Dr. Regal's paying for me."

"I could have gotten a free trip completely for you, instead of having one of your friends do it for you," offered Eldes. "Being one of the Pokémon G-Men gives you an edge on life, although wasting it with blindness greed isn't what I want…"

"How did Dr. Regal pay for you?" asked Jaden after a sip of his soda, then getting another can from the fridge. "He must be that rich!"

"At first, I thought he was at the Tech Space Center already, but when I met him here at the port in Orre, it was pretty much a surprise to imagine, and then some," explained Michael. "Friends back each other up, even when you're a grownup!"

"What is it you want me to help you again with, Michael?" asked Eldes. "I'm completely willing to for the sake of it, but a good idea of what I'm to be doing would be helpful, and maybe I can prepare for the task more easier."

"It's what you can call, an 'experiment', but something's gone wrong." Answered Michael. "It will either be fatal or beneficial- I'll explain the rest later. There's going to be more than the number of people you think will work- some of which are my good friends, and the job shall be simple with alliance of skilled trainers."

"But we're skilled trainers!" exclaimed Jaden and Mana in unison.

"If you two like doing chores, than come with us, because this isn't something too much fun to be happy about," explained Michael. "You can have fun while we're doing something else, besides- that's the main reason why you two wanted to come along."

"Work is boring, right Jaden?" asked Mana.

"I guess you're right!" agreed Jaden.

A flight attendant walked by with a cart carrying different sorts of foods and drinks on it and stopped near the four. "Would you four like something to eat or drink? We have lots of things here, and because you decided to travel on first class, you get much more than those other people, so choose whatever you want and you'll get it in a second!"

"Can we get some double-triple-cheeseburgers?" asked Jaden and Mana in unison.

"Can I get a sandwich sub?" asked Michael.

"I guess I'll have ramen," said Eldes.

"Coming right up!" the nice flight attendant took food out of the cart as if they were just magically made and handed them over to the respective customers, a smile on her face as she did so, also handing out one of those super-hot refreshing towels you would get in a sushi bar to make yourself unbelievably relieved. She left happily, "Enjoy!"

"We will!" they all said in unison.

"I never knew you were a ramen fan," wondered Michael. "I should have asked for some…my loss…" Michael bit some of his sandwich.

"There's a lot people don't know about me," said Eldes. "Even after all of the things happened a long time ago, I kept myself undisclosed to most people, just because I'm the kind of person doing so…" he ate some of his food with his chopsticks.

Both Jaden and Mana gobbled down the 'double-double-cheeseburgers' in a matter of seconds, satisfied of the taste. "Those were some good thingies we just ate!"

Suddenly, on the plane everyone felt a slight tremor below, even making the emotionless sounding Dr. Regal show some feeling in the shake as he pulsed. The four were a little surprised before they held on to their seat just in case anything worse would happen, and some contents of Michael's sub even fell off!

A female voice was heard from the intercom: Like, sorry people for all of the fuss, but there's NO WAY something like that's gonna, um, happen again, so like, don't worry, because with our super-cool staff members on this plane, nothing's gonna happen to any of you, so like, chill back, and I'll go and shop- I mean ship.

"That was kind of scary," complained Mana.

"Don't worry, Mana," comforted Jaden, "that was pretty much nothing."

Another tremble occurred, this time knocking Jaden's soda and many of Mana's chips down to the floor as they all flinched a little.

That was so cool! I mean, sorry for the turbulence because there's a lot of happy people on the plane jumping up and down, so like, SCREAM! Just kidding, if you really want to be safe and enjoy your time here, go have fun shopping, or better yet, like, fasten your seatbelts because that's COOL and the way TO GO!

"Jaden, Mana," called Eldes. "I think it might be a good time right now to fasten your seatbelts before something like that ever happens again, because you two were standing and some things fell; I know you don't want to make a mess, right?"

"I like making messes!" informed Mana. "Just kidding, I need to go and do number one and two because of all the things I ate already."

"You didn't need to tell us that…" groaned Jaden. "Come back quick, because I need to go also, okay?"

"Don't wander off, Mana," advised Michael. "If there's a lot of turbulence on the airplane, then it just might knock off nature's call onto—"

"Don't say it!" ordered Mana. She ran off in her always so cute rush, heading over to the bathroom in a hurry and going inside.

FLUSH!

After a relieved sigh, she left the bathroom, which was especially near the door to the cockpit, and already the next thought on her mind, but before she could do so, another bump of air turbulence struck, making the little girl fall this time.

"That's so annoying," whined Mana. "Wish that would stop happening…"

Attention people, ya having fun with the super-cool turbulence happening around here on the plane? Well it's going to get worse because I'm going to go more and more quicker to get ya there, have fun people already! If you didn't already buckle your seat belts in time for the ride, I suggest you do right now before things get ugly!

Michael, Jaden and Eldes were sitting on their first class spaces, with their seat belts on. Dr. Regal and his two bodyguards Crusher and Crosser were amazingly gone without a sound, not anywhere to be seen as a problem arises.

"Mana's taking too long in the bathroom," grumbled Jaden. "And I really, really, really need to go right now, so she better get out of there quick." He prepared to get up, but noticed the seatbelt he was wearing wouldn't come off. "There's a problem here- my seatbelt won't come off right now!"

Michael struggled along with Eldes. "Oh no…" they both said.




* * *




"I'm going into the cockpit!" declared Mana, opening the big door in front of her surprisingly to her height. "It's gonna be fun!"

Inside you could see all of the commands along with the sky ahead, and a girl with pink hair in two split ponytails and white outfit on rather than the right pilot attire. She turned around and it showed her eyes shielded with goggles, and waved at Mana. "So what are you doing here, you little cutie?"

"I just thought the cockpit over here looks so cool! Me come here to have fun"

"Well you're not allowed to go here, honey, so yeah. Go on and have fun somewhere else before I make ya!" she pointed over to the door leading the other way, like yeah.

"You're a funny lady, girl. I want to play with you!" Mana jumped and held on to the girl, not letting go and making the lady jolt in rage.

"You better get off me now before I make this plane crash because you don't want to, and I'll cause another one of those—nothing…now just get along…little girl!"

"The name's Mana! If you don't play, lady, I'm telling my big brother and daddy!"

The plane suddenly jolted even worse and it showed the altitude decreasing rapidly, making the pink-haired girl with goggles laugh. "The name's Lovrina, and you're gonna be gone way before this plane crashes! You wanna play? Bring it on!"

=================================================
Baby Sis Mana vs. Nebula Scientist Lovrina
=================================================

[Lovrina steps forward, waves both hands, spins around, then stands with her hands on her hips]

"Teach that oh so tiny girl a lesson! Go Bevadam and Bubbitar!" Lovrina released Bevadam was a large, brown beaver with a lot of logs for a tail, the same way that a Sceptile had many pointy leaves for its tail. With one side looking excited for battle, and the other one looking ready to have a nap; Bubbitar was like a snowman, the head looking like a bear as the bottom part was filled with white fur and eyes crossed looking down at its bear-shaped nose in curiosity. The torso was like a dark blue bib for a baby with red and pink bubbles scattered, the arms were reached out like after a hug and the nails used to be on it was gone like trimmed.

"Yay, a battle! Go Raichu and Chansey!" Mana smiled as her Pokémon came out.

"Bevadam, Toxic on like, Chansey- and Bubbitar, Bubble Trap!"

"Raichu, Thunderbolt on that cute Bubbitar and Blissey, Seismic Toss Bevadam!"

Bubbitar jumped in the air, and then released two pink bubbles materializing from its skin and surrounded Raichu and Blissey. Raichu was next as it stood on its tail ready for an attack, then shot a bolt of electricity to strike, breaking the bubble but only a few centimeters before the attack hit Bubbitar- a look of surprise on Mana's face.

"How did Bubbitar not get shocked by my cutie's attack?" Mana noticed waves going down Raichu lowering its Special Attack and Special Defense.

"Bubble Trap's gonna do that to you, honey. While it's on the field- for two turns, your babies can't switch but if it's popped by a move, the attacker loses Special Attack and Special Defense, and in addition to that, if it's a Special Attack, stops in its tracks. Maybe next time baby, if there is one, like yeah. Perfect defense!"

Chansey used Seismic Toss, popping the bubble and having its Special Attack and Special Defense lower, but managed to deal some damage over to Bevadam-, which reacted by badly poisoning Blissey on the spot after the attack.

"Bubbitar, Bubble Trap on Bevadam and Raichu- yeah, I can choose two targets, and Bevadam, Mimic after Bubbitar!"

Raichu took some damage on the poison from Toxic. "So that's your plan? Raichu use Thunderbolt on Bubbitar and Chansey, Seismic Toss on Bevadam again!"

Bubbitar released two more bubbles, wrapping Bevadam and Raichu- the electric rodent using Thunderbolt again to no avail as the bubble popped to lower the mouse's Special Attack and Special Defense once again, and the bolt not hitting. Chansey ran to attack Bevadam, but the bubble popped instead, making its attempt nulled and the beaver's Special Attack and Special Defense lowered as well.

"Let me guess…Bubble Trap can protect the Pokémon inside of it from being hit by anything at the cost of stats, right…? I want my mommy…"

"It's not like Special stats matter to it! Now Bevadam, keep going!" Bevadam's orb of energy copied Bubbitar's Bubble Trap move as its own.

"Now that I have the power to use two Bubble Traps, so like, Bevadam use it on Raichu and Blissey, followed by Bubbitar the teacher doing the same! Happy time, baby!"

Chansey took some more minor damage from poison. "So I can't use any damaging attacks once one of them hits… that ruins everything I wanted to do…" thought Mana. "Fine then! Raichu, Thunder Wave on Bubbitar and Chansey, Aromatherapy!"

Bubbitar unleashed another layer of bubbles to cover Raichu and Chansey, followed by Raichu using Thunder Wave to immobilize Bubbitar. Chansey unleashed a scent in the air to relieve it of Toxic (even though it was still 3/16 damaged). Bevadam also released another set of bubbles to wrap around the two.

"Raichu, Thunder Wave on Bevadam and Chansey, Light Screen- we need to keep our Special Defenses high since those meanies lowered it!"

"Your Pokémon are SO stuck on that position, because of my move. Now I think it's time for my strategy at hand: Bubbitar, Taunt Chansey and Bevadam, Surf!"

Bubbitar's Speed was slowed down thanks to Thunder Wave so Raichu struck first this time, releasing a jolt of energy to paralyze Bevadam, followed by Chansey putting up a light shield to increase herself and ally Raichu's Special Defense a little. Bubbitar, with a wag of its finger made the usually happy Chansey glow red with anger; Bubbitar used Surf- not doing any damage to the opponents but breaking the first layer, lowering both Raichu and Chansey's Special Attack and Special Defense even more now (Raichu lost three levels of stats while Chansey lost two).

"Bubbitar, Energy Stream and Bevadam, Mimic your partner!"

"Raichu, Protect! Chansey's affected by Taunt now, meaning it can only use moves that do damage, and I can't use any Special moves because they won't work…mommy, I wish you were here…Chansey, use Seismic Toss on Bevadam!"

Raichu put up a green barrier to protect itself, followed by Chansey being forced to use damaging attacks against its will as it tossed Bevadam up in the air, almost knocking it out this time. Bubbitar unleashed a rainbow wave of energy, not hitting the guarding Raichu as the shield blocked the bubble from being destroyed as well. Chansey, however, was knocked out by the move and sent back into its PokéBall.

"My Chansey was almost fully healed, so how did you knock it out in one hit? It may have its Special Defense kicked down a lot, but they're still known for being able to take a lot of Special Attacks deducted from their HP! No fair!"

"Actually, it's fair as fair goes, little girl- Energy Stream does 60 damage, FIXED damage, that is, for every stat lowered on the target. Do the math (Special Attack –3 + Special Defense –3 = Stat Total –6 | 6 x 60 = 360), so unless your Chansey's at a really, really, really high level, it goes bye-bye!"

"Go Laprax!" Mana released a metallic version of Lapras to the field; it had a fire jet behind it along with its shell, which were actually missile launchers. The eyes were shown as if it was wearing a mask, and fins as turbines.

Bevadam unleashed a glowing orb traveling around Bubbitar and then back to it, which melted inside its head, allowing it to learn Energy Stream as well.

"Time to rid the field of your Bubbitar by having Laprax use Psychic on it- and since it's fresh on the field, there's no crap to stop it from hitting you! In addition to that, your paralyzed Bubbitar's not gonna make things better yeah, let's go! Raichu, Thunderbolt Bevadam now that you don't have those annoying things around you!"

"Oh darn, she's right…Bubbitar, Energy Stream and Bevadam, same thing!"

Laprax's eyes glowed purple to make Bubbitar have the same flavor in its eyes, followed by a powerful lift, then the metal rider let go to faint Bubbitar before it could use any other attacks to faint Raichu.

"Oh darn, return Bubbitar and go Bellossem." She sent out a Bellossem, which had an angry look on its face the moment it was out, along with an aura…a Shadow Pokémon (strange at this specific time because no Aura Seeker was needed to find out what it was)! Mana had to face it alone without Jaden at the scene!

"You're gonna make a little girl like me face a Shadow Pokémon?"

"How'd you know that it was… oh yeah…the new brand of Shadow Pokémon have their aura revealed to intimidate people…and make them better…nah-nah-nah-nah-nah!"

Raichu unleashed a Thunderbolt, this time with nothing to stop it- except for the fact its Special Attack was way down in the dumps thanks to previous stat lowering moves and Bevadam was able to survive because of that idea. Suddenly, the Shadow Aura around Bellossem began to spread around the field, slowly covering everything in sight, as it got darker and darker…

"What are you doing, Lovrina? Shadow Pokémon may be WEIRD and strong, but they can't do things like this- not from what I've read…"

"What you read, or like, read in a book, or um…see on TV isn't so always true, little girl, so be a little nice one and watch the show as the field gets murkier and murkier…"




* * *




Back in the first class seating room, Michael, Jaden and Eldes are still struggling to get out of their seats, but to no avail. They tried their best not to yell, but more and more worrying made them go even more nervous.

"I have to get out of here and use the bathroom…a little," grumbled Jaden. "Not that much, but I still want to move around a little…"

Michael struggled even harder. "How come these things won't budge? I need to get out of HERE so I can find Mana, and besides, you're not the only one here who needs to go use the bathroom, you know…"

Eldes was busy trying to reach for a drawer ahead. "I don't have anything sharp on me, but if we try to get something good, we can even slice through these seat belts…there's something going on here and I think we need to investigate…"

Michael stopped battering, "I hope Mana's okay…

Eldes was still trying to reach. "I hope everything works out…

Michael was still moving as ever. "I hope I get to the bathroom!"

The intercom suddenly began again, We hope all of you super-cool people are like, enjoying the ride because it's about to get faster and faster and faster, because that's SO COOL, and I know you people love COOL things, like the way the seatbelts are working right now. Turns out some COOL things are happening to make you go there. ALL of you PEOPLE seem to be so ATTACHED to your seat, so stay there and be some good people while plans are working in the cockpit- ISN'T THAT A FUNNY WORD?! COCKPIT, as in C*CK, I hit your C*CK, and the PITS! Bye-bye now!

Eldes stated, "So there is something going on…we have to go and put a stop to this before anything else happens. Some people might get hurt."

"Yeah, but first," Jaden struggled again. "We have to- urg- get out of these- urg- stupid seatbelts! I knew it- they kill more than they save."

"Those are airbags you're talking about," informed Michael. "Besides, it's not the seatbelts fault- that honor goes to the person behind this entire thing in the first place, and that's the one we need to go and stop before anything else bad happens."

The plane could be felt getting faster and faster, including a huge altitude change as they can see outside with the clouds rushing up from them, then stopping in an instant to regain normal speed, which made the people onboard halt in an uncomfortable stop. Shakings like that occurred more and more as moments passed on.

"I think that it's getting more 'bad' by the moment," pointed out Eldes. "We better do something NOW, and don't do anything hasty…"

"What did your Shadow Bellossem do to my cute little Raichu and Laprax?"

"Pay some attention and you'll find out honey…the little dancing critter used Shadow Mist, and I think you know what that means, duh!"

Mana noticed waves going down Raichu and Laprax. "Oh no! You lowered their Evasiveness! Your Pokémon are so mean!"

"That's right, and Bevadam's about to use Energy Stream to finish off Raichu!"

"Fine then, Raichu, Thunderbolt on Bevadam and Laprax, Surf them!"

Raichu was the quickest due to Bevadam's Paralysis, so it made a jolt of lightning appear and knocked out Bevadam before it could do anything.

"That was like, so mean! But now you've let me do this…" she threw a PokéBall after returning her Bevadam and it released a Shadow Breloom.

"Another one of those Shadow thingies? That's not nice…"

"Who in the world said I was ever, ever, ever playing nice, like no! And since you decided to be a meanie to my Bevadam and Bubbitar, I'm afraid I'm gonna hafta go back ta my old plan- Breloom, Shadow Seed on Raichu and Bellossem, Shadow Seed Laprax!"

"My Raichu's still quicker than your Pokémon, even though they're not paralyzed- but they're about to: Raichu, Thunder Wave on Breloom and Laprax use Body Slam!"

Breloom rushed with amazing speed among a streak of shadowy waves and shot out a seed from its tail to attach to Raichu, making a Shadow Aura surround it. Raichu was about to charge energy, but couldn't due to strangle of vines.

"Your Breloom was so quick when it attacked…but my Raichu should have been quicker…explain yourself!"

"When I told you the Shadow Pokémon were better this time around, noooooo… you didn't believe me, so like, you felt the bad things happen. Instead of just having Shadow moves, we decided it might be nice to add some abilities as well, and here's one for ya, baby: Breloom's Black Speed ability makes it so that ALL Shadow Pokémon on my side of the field attack really, really, really quick, so Bellossem's about to become super, super, super quick now!"

Bellossem lived up to its words of Breloom's special ability and had attacked rapidly, unleashing a seed over to Laprax, which attempted to entangle the Steel-type, but for some reason, the seed was nulled and destroyed.

"Attacks that don't do damage don't work on my Laprax because of its special ability, Reverse Fire! So looks like your Shadow Seed's getting reversed back to ya."

Laprax made the seed reappear and then it was shot back to where the Shadow Bellossem was standing, but the seed vanished the moment it hit the dancing blossom. Laprax then proceeded to use Body Slam, doing major damage over to Bellossem.

"How did this 'Shadow Seed' of yours not work…let me guess…it's because you can't use it on Shadow Pokémon, right?"

"You're soooooo pretty good at knowing things for person your age! Shadow Seed only works on regular Pokémon, and if you take a look…"

Mana noticed shadow energy orbs being taken from Raichu, landing on Bellossem afterwards and healing ALL the damage done to it earlier.

"NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH! Thanks baby, and because you did SO much damage over to Bellossem, it gets healed that much, YEAH! Shadow Seed rules!"

"She's right…I may have one more Pokémon than her, but if she can keep those mean combos up, I'll never see mommy again…" *sniff*

"You're about to go down with this ship thingie, and so is everyone else!"

Episode 3: Just In Time For The Ride! [Scene 2][Part 1]

Jaden along with his dad Michael and little sister Mana with their friend Eldes, followed by Dr. Regal and his two strange bodyguards got onto the plane the moment it arrived, eager to explore the insides and get to where they were supposed to be.

Mana looked around in the plane with its silver walls and many seats, sitting in one of them before knowing where she was supposed to go on, "This place looks so much fun! I bet we can play hide-and-go-seek here all day!"

"Come on, Mana," urged her dad. "Our seats are this way, and they're going to be something I know you of all people would be excited about."

"Where are we going again?" asked Michael. "I get it…"

They all entered the first class section after a little bit of walking- which composed of two couches facing each other, a television set in the middle and a refrigerator on the side of gentle welcoming plants, accompanied with more of life's comforts: Jaden, Michael, Mana and Eldes in one set; Dr. Regal and his bodyguards on the other.

Jaden took a soda from the fridge by his side. "How did you manage to get one of these super-cool first class seats, dad? I always wanted to be in one of these but I've only seen them on TV by one of those rich guys or families."

Mana was eating an ice cream bar from the fridge as well. "Yeah dad, I've seen these pretty things on TV, but yay! A TV's right over there!" she turned on the TV, revealing an episode of Pokémon on at the time.

"Seeing as I'm on a business trip, a certain person over in the Tech region arranged the trip for me, and was generous enough to offer this perfect plane setting for me," clarified Michael. "I'll spill the beans…Dr. Regal's paying for me."

"I could have gotten a free trip completely for you, instead of having one of your friends do it for you," offered Eldes. "Being one of the Pokémon G-Men gives you an edge on life, although wasting it with blindness greed isn't what I want…"

"How did Dr. Regal pay for you?" asked Jaden after a sip of his soda, then getting another can from the fridge. "He must be that rich!"

"At first, I thought he was at the Tech Space Center already, but when I met him here at the port in Orre, it was pretty much a surprise to imagine, and then some," explained Michael. "Friends back each other up, even when you're a grownup!"

"What is it you want me to help you again with, Michael?" asked Eldes. "I'm completely willing to for the sake of it, but a good idea of what I'm to be doing would be helpful, and maybe I can prepare for the task more easier."

"It's what you can call, an 'experiment', but something's gone wrong." Answered Michael. "It will either be fatal or beneficial- I'll explain the rest later. There's going to be more than the number of people you think will work- some of which are my good friends, and the job shall be simple with alliance of skilled trainers."

"But we're skilled trainers!" exclaimed Jaden and Mana in unison.

"If you two like doing chores, than come with us, because this isn't something too much fun to be happy about," explained Michael. "You can have fun while we're doing something else, besides- that's the main reason why you two wanted to come along."

"Work is boring, right Jaden?" asked Mana.

"I guess you're right!" agreed Jaden.

A flight attendant walked by with a cart carrying different sorts of foods and drinks on it and stopped near the four. "Would you four like something to eat or drink? We have lots of things here, and because you decided to travel on first class, you get much more than those other people, so choose whatever you want and you'll get it in a second!"

"Can we get some double-triple-cheeseburgers?" asked Jaden and Mana in unison.

"Can I get a sandwich sub?" asked Michael.

"I guess I'll have ramen," said Eldes.

"Coming right up!" the nice flight attendant took food out of the cart as if they were just magically made and handed them over to the respective customers, a smile on her face as she did so, also handing out one of those super-hot refreshing towels you would get in a sushi bar to make yourself unbelievably relieved. She left happily, "Enjoy!"

"We will!" they all said in unison.

"I never knew you were a ramen fan," wondered Michael. "I should have asked for some…my loss…" Michael bit some of his sandwich.

"There's a lot people don't know about me," said Eldes. "Even after all of the things happened a long time ago, I kept myself undisclosed to most people, just because I'm the kind of person doing so…" he ate some of his food with his chopsticks.

Both Jaden and Mana gobbled down the 'double-double-cheeseburgers' in a matter of seconds, satisfied of the taste. "Those were some good thingies we just ate!"

Suddenly, on the plane everyone felt a slight tremor below, even making the emotionless sounding Dr. Regal show some feeling in the shake as he pulsed. The four were a little surprised before they held on to their seat just in case anything worse would happen, and some contents of Michael's sub even fell off!

A female voice was heard from the intercom: Like, sorry people for all of the fuss, but there's NO WAY something like that's gonna, um, happen again, so like, don't worry, because with our super-cool staff members on this plane, nothing's gonna happen to any of you, so like, chill back, and I'll go and shop- I mean ship.

"That was kind of scary," complained Mana.

"Don't worry, Mana," comforted Jaden, "that was pretty much nothing."

Another tremble occurred, this time knocking Jaden's soda and many of Mana's chips down to the floor as they all flinched a little.

That was so cool! I mean, sorry for the turbulence because there's a lot of happy people on the plane jumping up and down, so like, SCREAM! Just kidding, if you really want to be safe and enjoy your time here, go have fun shopping, or better yet, like, fasten your seatbelts because that's COOL and the way TO GO!

"Jaden, Mana," called Eldes. "I think it might be a good time right now to fasten your seatbelts before something like that ever happens again, because you two were standing and some things fell; I know you don't want to make a mess, right?"

"I like making messes!" informed Mana. "Just kidding, I need to go and do number one and two because of all the things I ate already."

"You didn't need to tell us that…" groaned Jaden. "Come back quick, because I need to go also, okay?"

"Don't wander off, Mana," advised Michael. "If there's a lot of turbulence on the airplane, then it just might knock off nature's call onto—"

"Don't say it!" ordered Mana. She ran off in her always so cute rush, heading over to the bathroom in a hurry and going inside.

FLUSH!

After a relieved sigh, she left the bathroom, which was especially near the door to the cockpit, and already the next thought on her mind, but before she could do so, another bump of air turbulence struck, making the little girl fall this time.

"That's so annoying," whined Mana. "Wish that would stop happening…"

Attention people, ya having fun with the super-cool turbulence happening around here on the plane? Well it's going to get worse because I'm going to go more and more quicker to get ya there, have fun people already! If you didn't already buckle your seat belts in time for the ride, I suggest you do right now before things get ugly!

Michael, Jaden and Eldes were sitting on their first class spaces, with their seat belts on. Dr. Regal and his two bodyguards Crusher and Crosser were amazingly gone without a sound, not anywhere to be seen as a problem arises.

"Mana's taking too long in the bathroom," grumbled Jaden. "And I really, really, really need to go right now, so she better get out of there quick." He prepared to get up, but noticed the seatbelt he was wearing wouldn't come off. "There's a problem here- my seatbelt won't come off right now!"

Michael struggled along with Eldes. "Oh no…" they both said.




* * *




"I'm going into the cockpit!" declared Mana, opening the big door in front of her surprisingly to her height. "It's gonna be fun!"

Inside you could see all of the commands along with the sky ahead, and a girl with pink hair in two split ponytails and white outfit on rather than the right pilot attire. She turned around and it showed her eyes shielded with goggles, and waved at Mana. "So what are you doing here, you little cutie?"

"I just thought the cockpit over here looks so cool! Me come here to have fun"

"Well you're not allowed to go here, honey, so yeah. Go on and have fun somewhere else before I make ya!" she pointed over to the door leading the other way, like yeah.

"You're a funny lady, girl. I want to play with you!" Mana jumped and held on to the girl, not letting go and making the lady jolt in rage.

"You better get off me now before I make this plane crash because you don't want to, and I'll cause another one of those—nothing…now just get along…little girl!"

"The name's Mana! If you don't play, lady, I'm telling my big brother and daddy!"

The plane suddenly jolted even worse and it showed the altitude decreasing rapidly, making the pink-haired girl with goggles laugh. "The name's Lovrina, and you're gonna be gone way before this plane crashes! You wanna play? Bring it on!"

=================================================
Baby Sis Mana vs. Nebula Scientist Lovrina
=================================================

[Lovrina steps forward, waves both hands, spins around, then stands with her hands on her hips]

"Teach that oh so tiny girl a lesson! Go Bevadam and Bubbitar!" Lovrina released Bevadam was a large, brown beaver with a lot of logs for a tail, the same way that a Sceptile had many pointy leaves for its tail. With one side looking excited for battle, and the other one looking ready to have a nap; Bubbitar was like a snowman, the head looking like a bear as the bottom part was filled with white fur and eyes crossed looking down at its bear-shaped nose in curiosity. The torso was like a dark blue bib for a baby with red and pink bubbles scattered, the arms were reached out like after a hug and the nails used to be on it was gone like trimmed.

"Yay, a battle! Go Raichu and Chansey!" Mana smiled as her Pokémon came out.

"Bevadam, Toxic on like, Chansey- and Bubbitar, Bubble Trap!"

"Raichu, Thunderbolt on that cute Bubbitar and Blissey, Seismic Toss Bevadam!"

Bubbitar jumped in the air, and then released two pink bubbles materializing from its skin and surrounded Raichu and Blissey. Raichu was next as it stood on its tail ready for an attack, then shot a bolt of electricity to strike, breaking the bubble but only a few centimeters before the attack hit Bubbitar- a look of surprise on Mana's face.

"How did Bubbitar not get shocked by my cutie's attack?" Mana noticed waves going down Raichu lowering its Special Attack and Special Defense.

"Bubble Trap's gonna do that to you, honey. While it's on the field- for two turns, your babies can't switch but if it's popped by a move, the attacker loses Special Attack and Special Defense, and in addition to that, if it's a Special Attack, stops in its tracks. Maybe next time baby, if there is one, like yeah. Perfect defense!"

Chansey used Seismic Toss, popping the bubble and having its Special Attack and Special Defense lower, but managed to deal some damage over to Bevadam-, which reacted by badly poisoning Blissey on the spot after the attack.

"Bubbitar, Bubble Trap on Bevadam and Raichu- yeah, I can choose two targets, and Bevadam, Mimic after Bubbitar!"

Raichu took some damage on the poison from Toxic. "So that's your plan? Raichu use Thunderbolt on Bubbitar and Chansey, Seismic Toss on Bevadam again!"

Bubbitar released two more bubbles, wrapping Bevadam and Raichu- the electric rodent using Thunderbolt again to no avail as the bubble popped to lower the mouse's Special Attack and Special Defense once again, and the bolt not hitting. Chansey ran to attack Bevadam, but the bubble popped instead, making its attempt nulled and the beaver's Special Attack and Special Defense lowered as well.

"Let me guess…Bubble Trap can protect the Pokémon inside of it from being hit by anything at the cost of stats, right…? I want my mommy…"

"It's not like Special stats matter to it! Now Bevadam, keep going!" Bevadam's orb of energy copied Bubbitar's Bubble Trap move as its own.

"Now that I have the power to use two Bubble Traps, so like, Bevadam use it on Raichu and Blissey, followed by Bubbitar the teacher doing the same! Happy time, baby!"

Chansey took some more minor damage from poison. "So I can't use any damaging attacks once one of them hits… that ruins everything I wanted to do…" thought Mana. "Fine then! Raichu, Thunder Wave on Bubbitar and Chansey, Aromatherapy!"

Bubbitar unleashed another layer of bubbles to cover Raichu and Chansey, followed by Raichu using Thunder Wave to immobilize Bubbitar. Chansey unleashed a scent in the air to relieve it of Toxic (even though it was still 3/16 damaged). Bevadam also released another set of bubbles to wrap around the two.

"Raichu, Thunder Wave on Bevadam and Chansey, Light Screen- we need to keep our Special Defenses high since those meanies lowered it!"

"Your Pokémon are SO stuck on that position, because of my move. Now I think it's time for my strategy at hand: Bubbitar, Taunt Chansey and Bevadam, Surf!"

Bubbitar's Speed was slowed down thanks to Thunder Wave so Raichu struck first this time, releasing a jolt of energy to paralyze Bevadam, followed by Chansey putting up a light shield to increase herself and ally Raichu's Special Defense a little. Bubbitar, with a wag of its finger made the usually happy Chansey glow red with anger; Bubbitar used Surf- not doing any damage to the opponents but breaking the first layer, lowering both Raichu and Chansey's Special Attack and Special Defense even more now (Raichu lost three levels of stats while Chansey lost two).

"Bubbitar, Energy Stream and Bevadam, Mimic your partner!"

"Raichu, Protect! Chansey's affected by Taunt now, meaning it can only use moves that do damage, and I can't use any Special moves because they won't work…mommy, I wish you were here…Chansey, use Seismic Toss on Bevadam!"

Raichu put up a green barrier to protect itself, followed by Chansey being forced to use damaging attacks against its will as it tossed Bevadam up in the air, almost knocking it out this time. Bubbitar unleashed a rainbow wave of energy, not hitting the guarding Raichu as the shield blocked the bubble from being destroyed as well. Chansey, however, was knocked out by the move and sent back into its PokéBall.

"My Chansey was almost fully healed, so how did you knock it out in one hit? It may have its Special Defense kicked down a lot, but they're still known for being able to take a lot of Special Attacks deducted from their HP! No fair!"

"Actually, it's fair as fair goes, little girl- Energy Stream does 60 damage, FIXED damage, that is, for every stat lowered on the target. Do the math (Special Attack –3 + Special Defense –3 = Stat Total –6 | 6 x 60 = 360), so unless your Chansey's at a really, really, really high level, it goes bye-bye!"

"Go Laprax!" Mana released a metallic version of Lapras to the field; it had a fire jet behind it along with its shell, which were actually missile launchers. The eyes were shown as if it was wearing a mask, and fins as turbines.

Bevadam unleashed a glowing orb traveling around Bubbitar and then back to it, which melted inside its head, allowing it to learn Energy Stream as well.

"Time to rid the field of your Bubbitar by having Laprax use Psychic on it- and since it's fresh on the field, there's no crap to stop it from hitting you! In addition to that, your paralyzed Bubbitar's not gonna make things better yeah, let's go! Raichu, Thunderbolt Bevadam now that you don't have those annoying things around you!"

"Oh darn, she's right…Bubbitar, Energy Stream and Bevadam, same thing!"

Laprax's eyes glowed purple to make Bubbitar have the same flavor in its eyes, followed by a powerful lift, then the metal rider let go to faint Bubbitar before it could use any other attacks to faint Raichu.

"Oh darn, return Bubbitar and go Bellossem." She sent out a Bellossem, which had an angry look on its face the moment it was out, along with an aura…a Shadow Pokémon (strange at this specific time because no Aura Seeker was needed to find out what it was)! Mana had to face it alone without Jaden at the scene!

"You're gonna make a little girl like me face a Shadow Pokémon?"

"How'd you know that it was… oh yeah…the new brand of Shadow Pokémon have their aura revealed to intimidate people…and make them better…nah-nah-nah-nah-nah!"

Raichu unleashed a Thunderbolt, this time with nothing to stop it- except for the fact its Special Attack was way down in the dumps thanks to previous stat lowering moves and Bevadam was able to survive because of that idea. Suddenly, the Shadow Aura around Bellossem began to spread around the field, slowly covering everything in sight, as it got darker and darker…

"What are you doing, Lovrina? Shadow Pokémon may be WEIRD and strong, but they can't do things like this- not from what I've read…"

"What you read, or like, read in a book, or um…see on TV isn't so always true, little girl, so be a little nice one and watch the show as the field gets murkier and murkier…"




* * *




Back in the first class seating room, Michael, Jaden and Eldes are still struggling to get out of their seats, but to no avail. They tried their best not to yell, but more and more worrying made them go even more nervous.

"I have to get out of here and use the bathroom…a little," grumbled Jaden. "Not that much, but I still want to move around a little…"

Michael struggled even harder. "How come these things won't budge? I need to get out of HERE so I can find Mana, and besides, you're not the only one here who needs to go use the bathroom, you know…"

Eldes was busy trying to reach for a drawer ahead. "I don't have anything sharp on me, but if we try to get something good, we can even slice through these seat belts…there's something going on here and I think we need to investigate…"

Michael stopped battering, "I hope Mana's okay…

Eldes was still trying to reach. "I hope everything works out…

Michael was still moving as ever. "I hope I get to the bathroom!"

The intercom suddenly began again, We hope all of you super-cool people are like, enjoying the ride because it's about to get faster and faster and faster, because that's SO COOL, and I know you people love COOL things, like the way the seatbelts are working right now. Turns out some COOL things are happening to make you go there. ALL of you PEOPLE seem to be so ATTACHED to your seat, so stay there and be some good people while plans are working in the cockpit- ISN'T THAT A FUNNY WORD?! COCKPIT, as in C*CK, I hit your C*CK, and the PITS! Bye-bye now!

Eldes stated, "So there is something going on…we have to go and put a stop to this before anything else happens. Some people might get hurt."

"Yeah, but first," Jaden struggled again. "We have to- urg- get out of these- urg- stupid seatbelts! I knew it- they kill more than they save."

"Those are airbags you're talking about," informed Michael. "Besides, it's not the seatbelts fault- that honor goes to the person behind this entire thing in the first place, and that's the one we need to go and stop before anything else bad happens."

The plane could be felt getting faster and faster, including a huge altitude change as they can see outside with the clouds rushing up from them, then stopping in an instant to regain normal speed, which made the people onboard halt in an uncomfortable stop. Shakings like that occurred more and more as moments passed on.

"I think that it's getting more 'bad' by the moment," pointed out Eldes. "We better do something NOW, and don't do anything hasty…"

"What did your Shadow Bellossem do to my cute little Raichu and Laprax?"

"Pay some attention and you'll find out honey…the little dancing critter used Shadow Mist, and I think you know what that means, duh!"

Mana noticed waves going down Raichu and Laprax. "Oh no! You lowered their Evasiveness! Your Pokémon are so mean!"

"My Raichu's still quicker than your Pokémon, even though they're not paralyzed- but they're about to: Raichu, Thunder Wave on Breloom and Laprax use Body Slam!"

Breloom rushed with amazing speed among a streak of shadowy waves and shot out a seed from its tail to attach to Raichu, making a Shadow Aura surround it. Raichu was about to charge energy, but couldn't due to strangle of vines.

"You're about to go down with this ship thingie, and so is everyone else!"
