Pokemon Rescue Force!

Mission 3: Sing to Save Pewter's Treasure! (part 1)



"Morning, you guys..." Pikachu yawned as he trooped into the kitchen and fixed his breakfast.

"Mornin'..." Treecko replied. "I think Eevee here's still asleep." He gestured to the still snoozing Eevee in the chair next to him. "Little girl must've stayed up too late late night." He was about to say more when the phone announced "Ring Ring! Rescue Force!", startling everyone!

Eevee opened an eye, confused to what was going on. "What's going on?" she yawned as she nibbled on her breakfast.

"Sounds like we have a mission...to help out one of our fellow Rescue Force teams." Pikachu explained, straining his ears to listen for any details coming from Ash's office.

The group listened as Ash began: "Good morning, Pokemon Rescue Force...oh, hi! How are things in Pewter?....mm-hmm...and you have no tips or leads?....okay...just give us directions to your base and we'll be right over!"

"Who was it?" Torchic asked as Ash rushed to the refrigerator and began packing meals for himself and the Rescue Force.

"That was Brock in Pewter City; a dear friend of mine." Ash explained. "There's been a big robbery in Pewter, and not even his Rescue Force team can crack the case! So we're going to help him out..."I'm going to sound the alarm to wake Swellow up..." Ash cautioned as he rushed to the office. A few seconds later, the alarm began to ring, jolting Swellow awake! He waited for the Rescue Force to board, then set the base to temporarily shut down for three days.

"Pokemon Rescue Force, away!" Ash cried as Swellow disappeared out the exit tunnel...

In Pewter City...

Brock smiled as Swellow spiraled in for a landing from his exit tunnel. He had built a network of tunnels under the Gym, and only he, his younger sister Terra, and his Rescue Force team knew the way in. Terra also entered the room, smoothing back her brown hair as she did so. "Why didn't you tell me the Pallet Rescue Force was coming?" she asked.

"They're going to help us with our current mission." Brock explained before addressing Ash. "Welcome to our base...not very much different from your base, is it?" he laughed.

"Aside from the Boulder Badge motif, no..." Mudkip replied as she glanced aroung the living room.

"Hey, what's this?" Eevee asked as she romped over to a potted plant sitting by the rescue pole by Brock's office. She swatted at the plant's three leaves playfully.

"Terra, is that..." the plant murmured, startling Eevee! She watched as a seedling like Pokemon opened its yellow eyes and stepped from the pot. "Oh! Guests?" it asked, smiling coyly at Eevee.

Terra giggled as she retrieved the seedling Pokemon from the floor. "I see you've met Bonsly..."

"I almost thought he was a plant!" Eevee stammered, a little embarrassed.

"That's why he makes an excellent scout." Brock laughed as he threw on an apron in preparation to fix lunch. "When he's in trouble, he just hops in a bucket someplace and people think he's just a plant."

"Very clever..." Ash smiled as he carried the last of his luggage into the base. "Where's the rest of your team?"

"Just a sec..." Brock turned in the direction of the rescue pole and let out a loud whistle, scaring everyone! "Here they come..." he assured Ash as a Vulpix led a Lotad, a Zubat, and a Pinceco down the rescue pole. "Guys, this is Pallet's Rescue Force team." he began. "They're going to help us with our current mission."

"Really?" the Vulpix smiled. "That's great news!"

"Er, not to be rude, but what IS your current mission?" Ash asked, settling down in a chair before a fireplace.

"I didn't know Brock could whistle that loud..." Pikachu groaned as he climbed on Ash's lap.

Vulpix just waited for everyone to settle down, then began. "A few days ago, the Pewter City Museum was robbed of its prized artifact, a Jirachi statue made of pure diamond. People call it the Diamond Jirachi."

"Fire Red says that the Diamond Jirachi can grant wishes of those with pure hearts." Lotad continued. "Giovanni knows that the statue won't grant his dark wishes..."

"Um, who's Fire Red?" Torchic interuppted.

"That's Brock's codename...he's Fire Red, I'm Leaf Green." Terra explained as she cradled Lotad in her arms.

"So if Giovanni doesn't want the Diamond Jirachi for its wish granting power, then why does he want it?" Ash asked.

"Only to look at and brood over...our objective: find the Diamond Jirachi and bring it back where it belongs." Vulpix concluded as she accepted some Pokechow from Brock.

"The problem..." Brock explained as he set out a plate of sandwiches on the table. "is that we haven't had any good tips as to where Giovanni and the Diamond Jirachi are...maybe you can team up with us and help."

"A Rescue Force Team is meant to help others; even if it's another team!" Pikachu interjected. "We'll help in any way we can."

"Okay!" Vulpix replied as she watched Brock settle before a beautiful black piano in one corner of the room. "As our thanks, let Fire Red entertain you at the piano...."

"You guys are in for a treat!" Ash smiled as he invited his team onto the couch. "Brock's a wonderful piano player...not to mention a fine guitar player too."

"Whenever you're ready, Maestro..." Vulpix began. She led the clapping as Brock's fingers began flying over the keys at a dizzying pace.

"WOW!" Eevee was impressed.

"I bet if you tried to play that, your fingers would be tied up in knots!" Treecko laughed, interlocking his fingers to illustrate his point. Ash merely smirked at Treecko's taunt; for he knew full well his piano skills weren't as great as Brock's.

Torchic led the applause when the song concluded. "Bravo! Encore!"

Brock was about to grant Torchic's request for an encore when a familiar beeping got his attention: his pocket communicator! "Good afternoon, Pokemon Rescue Force...mm-hmm...really? Where...all right, we're coming! Fire Red out." With that, he closed up the piano. "Looks like your encore will have to wait, Torchic." he started as he led the others to the exit tunnel, where Swellow was waiting.

"What's going on?" Ash was curious.

"We just received a tip on Giovanni's whereabouts...so we're going to check it out." Brock explained. "Terra, release Sora, if you would, please."

"Okay!" Terra replied as she heaved a Poke Ball in the air. "Sora! Come on out!" At this, a Pidgeotto appeared from the Poke Ball and waited for Brock's team to climb aboard.

"We'll follow you guys!" Ash volunteered as he and his team climbed aboard Swellow....

Mission 3: Sing to Save Pewter's Treasure! (part 2)




The morning sun was already high overhead as the two bird Pokemon--each with a Rescue Force team aboard--soared over Pewter City, looking for any evidence of Rockets on the move. The Pidgeotto and the Swellow circled over the city, paying no heed to the people and buildings down below.

"You think this was a false alarm again?" Torchic asked as Swellow started another lap around the city.

"We would've turned back by now if it was..." Pikachu replied. "But I haven't heard any order to turn back yet..." He was about to say more when his communicator started beeping. "This is Topaz..."

"This is Fire Red..." Brock's voice began. "Sora says she sees two Rockets running down the sidewalk--apparently taking something else to Giovanni, I bet."

"What do you want us to do?" Pikachu asked.

"Vulpix says she has a suspicion that the Rocket base is somewhere in the city, and following these grunts will take us there." Brock explained. "Once we do figure out the base's location, we can return there and retrieve the treasure. So for now, just follow us....Fire Red out."

"Topaz out." Pikachu replied. "Brock says follow him--they found two grunts on the run--" he started until he noted Sora already flying on. "Hey, wait for us!"

"Follow those grunts!" Treecko called to Swellow. Swellow nodded and began diving down, being careful to follow Sora as she dove into the noon rush hour traffic.

"Of all the times we have to chase something, we have to pick rush hour..." Eevee groaned, clutching to Ash as Swellow wove his way through cars, flew over buildings, and veered out of the way of people--until she noticed Sora closing in on the grunts as they stopped at a traffic light. "There they are!"

But, the light turned green as Sora approached, prompting the grunts to run in the direction of a factory not too far away from the museum, where they disappeared from view of the two birds.

"We lost them..." Mudkip sighed.

"Look at it this way...at least we know where their base is now..." Ash assured Mudkip.

"Fire Red calling Leaf Green...we're coming home..." Brock started as he led Sora back towards the base, with Swellow following...

Back at the base...

"...and right as we approached the stoplight, the light turned green, allowing the grunts to get away." Brock continued as he explained to Terra how the morning's chase unfolded. "They ran into the old PokeChow factory by the museum."

"You mean the one we went to on a field trip two years ago?" Terra asked. Brock nodded. "That's weird...why would they pick an old factory as their base?"

"Maybe they want to use the machines inside to make weapons?" Torchic suggested

"Impossible, chica..." Lotad explained. "Those machines were meant to make food, not bombs!"

"It's possible..." Vulpix interrupted as she climbed up on the desk and brought up a map of the old factory. "Of course, converting the machinery would take a lot of money...and the Rocket's funds aren't that high at the moment..." She was about to say more when she heard the notes of an acoustic guitar drifting in the room. "Brock! This is not the time to practice!" she hissed.

"I'm writing a song...for a plan!" Brock explained as he worked on figuring out some chords for a melody.

"A plan?" Everyone was interested.

Brock set his guitar aside for a moment, "So much for the song I was gonna write..." he sighed as he brought up a detailed map of the old factory. "Terra suggested something better...so anyway, the Rockets have converted the factory into a game corner...so what better way to distract them than to entertain them with a song while the rest of us get the treasures?

"That's a great idea..." Ash interjected. "Got a simulation?"

"Right here...Terra made it a few moments ago." Brock explained as he started the simulation. A 3D view of the main hall of the factory turned game corner appeared. "See, Pikachu and Eevee will perform the song, 'Beautifly'...." At this, a 3D Pikachu in a Beautifly costume and a 3D Eevee appeared on the stage, where they began dancing to a techno beat. "Meanwhile, the rest of us will locate Giovanni's quarters..." The screen shifted to some 3D representations of everyone else going down a few hallways, past the factory control room, across a few catwalks, down some more hallways, and stopping at one particular door.

Pikachu shuddered at how his 3D self looked in the costume. "Don't tell me I have to sing in THAT...." he begged.

"But you'll look cute!" Ash protested.

"Cute-shmute, I'll look stupid!" Pikachu retorted.

Brock whistled, silencing the escalating argument. "Hey, calm down...it's only for a few minutes." he assured Pikachu. "Anyway, by the time we return with the treasures..." The simulation showed the 3D versions of the group returning to the main hall. "Pikachu and Eevee will have finished the song..and we'll be long gone!" he concluded, pleased with his plan.

Later that night...

"Are we ready?" Brock asked as Vulpix finished putting the Beautifly costume on Pikachu.

"Almost..." Vulpix called back. "There, perfect!"

"Perfectly foolish..." Pikachu grumbled as he joned the others at the factory entrance.

"Okay...I'll guide our performers to the stage; the song beginning is your signal to head towards Giovanni's quarters." Brock explained to the others. "Be careful of traps and guards!"

"Don't worry!" Ash smiled.

"Okay...let's go." With that, the combined Rescue Force teams made their way to the main hall, where various Rocket grunts were paying the various games.

"Good luck, guys!:" Ash whispered as he led his team to the room's exit, waiting for the song to begin.

"Is our cue the first 'Ai-yai-yai', or the music picking up?" Torchic was confused.

"The music picking up." Ash replied as Brock appeared onstage, now in emcee's attire.

"What's he saying? I can't hear Brock.." Mudkip whispered.

"He's just introing Pikachu and Eevee, that's all..." Treecko assured Mudkip as he heard the Rockets applaud. "Get ready..."

Torchic started out the door as the music began, but had only gotten a few steps when Ash pulled her back. "Not, yet, not yet..."

Eevee, meanwhile, started to sing...

Ai-yai-yai,
Ai-yai-yai,
Ai-yai-yai,
Where's my samurai?

The Rockets applauded as the music picked up...Ash and the others crept out the door as Pikachu sang....

I've been searching for a man,
All across Japan,
Just to find, to find my samurai...
Someone who is strong, and just a little shy,
Yes I need, I need my samurai...

Ai-yai-yai, I'm your little Beautifly! Eevee joined in.
Green, black, and blue; making colors in the sky!
Ai-yai-yai, I'm your little Beautifly!
Green, black, and blue; making colors in the sky!
Some of the Rockets laughed as Pikachu and Eevee danced to the beat...then Pikachu sang again:
I'm searching in the woods,
And high upon the hills,
Just to find, to find my samurai...
Someone who won't regret,
To keep me in his net,
Yes I need, I need my samurai...

Ai-yai-yai, I'm your little Beautifly! Eevee sang along.
Green, black, and blue; making colors in the sky!
Ai-yai-yai, I'm your little Beautifly!
Green, black, and blue; making colors in the sky!

Ai-yai-yai,
Ai-yai-yai,
Ai-yai-yai,
Where's my samurai?

Ai-yai-yai,
Ai-yai-yai,
Ai-yai-yai,
Where's my samurai?

Oh...Oh...Oh...
Oh..Oh...

Ai-yai-yai, I'm your little Beautifly!
Green, black, and blue; making colors in the sky!
Ai-yai-yai, I'm your little Beautifly!
Green, black, and blue; making colors in the sky

Ai-yai-yai, I'm your little Beautifly!
Green, black, and blue; making colors in the sky!
Ai-yai-yai, I'm your little Beautifly!
Green, black, and blue; making colors in the sky!

Ai-yai-yai,
Ai-yai-yai,
Ai-yai-yai,
Where's my samurai?

Ai-yai-yai,
Ai-yai-yai,
Ai-yai-yai,
Where's my samurai?

Ai-yai-yai, I'm your little Beautifly!
Green, black, and blue; making colors in the sky! The game hall roared with applause as Pikachu and Eevee took a bow for the audience, then hurried offstage, rejoining the others.

"I'm glad that's over..." Pikachu sighed as he removed the Beautifly costume. No sooner had he said that, did the group find their exit blocked by some Rocket grunts! "Uh oh..."

"Leaving?" the two grunts asked.

"We were hoping for an encore..." the female grunt continued as she bound up the Pokemon.

Ash swallowed hard as the male grunt bound his hands...he hadn't counted on Brock's plan going horribly wrong...

Mission 3: Sing to Save Pewter's Treasure! (part 3)



"Hey, let go!" Ash demanded as the two Rocket grunts hung him from a claw. "We've only come to return the treasures you have stolen!" He sighed as the two grunts disappeared from the room, leaving him, his Rescue Force team, and Brock hanging above the factory floor.

"Looks like we'll be hanging out here for a while..." Eevee sighed.

"Maybe not..." Brock suggested as he waited for Pikachu to undo the bindings on his hands. "I'll alert my team, then tell Terra about our plan to escape." With that, he fumbled for his communicator. "Mayday, Rescue Force! Fire Red is snuffed!"

"Huh?" Ash was confused.

"That's my distress call if I wind up captured...this tells them that I'm in trouble and need their help." Brock explained, but he was interrupted by the voice of Vulpix. "We're coming, Fire Red...We have the treasures too..."

"Hurry if you can!" Brock answered, but was cut off by the whir of the claws moving. "I think we're moving..."

"We are..." Torchic replied, swallowing hard as she looked down at the omnious drop to the floor below. "Not to mention it's a long way down..." She was about to say more when the claws suddenly came to a stop. "Now we've stopped." she reported as Vulpix lead her teammates around the corner to a spot overlooking the group of claws.

"Hurry and undo my bindings, somebody!" Ash begged as he fruitlessly struggled to work his hands free of the ropes.

"Hold still..." and Vulpix aimed a fireball at the ropes binding Ash's hands. "GLOWING EMBER!"

Ash winced as the ropes fell to the ground, but flexed his hands in relief. "Thanks, Vulpix...the next question is, why are we straddled like prizes in a crane game?"

"See that funnel up ahead?" Lotad asked, pointing out a funnel in the distance. "That's where the ingredients for PokeChow are dropped into the machinery...so I think the Rockets may be trying to turn you into PokeChow!"

"Then I may have an idea--" Ash started, but was cut off as the claws began to move again. "Uh oh..."

"There's another catwalk inside the area with all the machinery..." Vulpix explained as she and her teammates hurried down a small stairwell.

"What was your idea?" Treecko started. "I kinda would've liked to know..."

"Well..." Ash started, but suddenly felt the claw holding him give way! "Oh no..."

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" everyone screamed as they hurtled down the funnel, where they landed on a conveyor belt with a thud.

Pikachu was the first to surface from the heap. "Rough landing..." he commented as he brushed himself off

"Well, my idea was--" Ash started, but suddenly gasped when he saw several knifes up ahead. "Heads up, Rescue Force!" Everyone scrambled out of the way to avoid the giant knives one after the other. Once the conveyer belt had safely passed the knifes, the Force huddled close together again.

"That was close..." Brock commented. "Whatever your plan is, Ash, I'll relay to Terra."

"Okay...' Ash started. "My plan...is for Treecko to extend a vine up to the catwalk up there..." he explained, pointing out the catwalk Vulpix and her comrades were standing on. "and then have the rest of us climb up."

"That works!" Brock smiled as he reached for his communicator. "Fire Red calling Leaf Green, over."

"This is Leaf Green." Terra replied. "Any news?"

'Well, my plan went horribly wrong, and Ash's team and I got captured...." Brock started.

"Oh no!" Terra cried. "How are you going to escape?"

"I'm getting to that..." Brock explained, but was suddenly cut off by the low roar of an oncoming wall of water. "Just a sec, I think we're about to go down the drain!" he yelped as a surge of water came racing down the conveyor belt, taking the Rescue Force with it!

"AAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!" everyone screeched as the water swirled them about, ultimately taking them down a drain, where they emerged on the next conveyor belt in a puddle.

"You still there, Leaf Green?" Brock asked, still shivering from the cold water.

"I hear you, Fire Red..." Terra replied.

"Okay..." Brock continued. "My team is on a catwalk overlooking where we are..." he explained, gesturing to a catwalk overhead, where Vulpix and the rest of Brock's team were waiting. "Treecko's going to make a vine that leads up to the catwalk, then the rest o us are going to climb up and escape. Hopefully nothing will go wrong this time."

"Knowing Murphy's Law..." Terra giggled. "Something probably will go wrong. Leaf Green out."

"Fire Red out."

Ash turned to Treecko. "Well, Treecko, you know what to do: Fire a vine up to Vulpix, and she'll tie it to the catwalk, so it won't snap."

"Roger...ENERGY VINE!" Treecko hurled a glowing vine up to Vulpix, who quickly tied it to the catwalk. "All right!" Everyone climb up!" he called.

One by one, the Rescue Force members climbed up to the catwalk, being extra careful not to make the fragile vine wobble. Once everyone was safely on the catwalk, Ash turned to Vulpix. "Now what?"

Vulpix slung the bag with the treasures over one shoulder before pointing out an open doorway leading outside. "Everyone follow me!" With that, the Force ran out into the night, relieved that they had not turned into PokeChow.

Back at Pewter Base...

"Guys! You made it!" Terra cried as both Rescue Force teams returned. "They just showed a report on the news just now that the Diamond Jirachi and all the other treasures are safe and sound, thanks to you guys!"

"Thank you so much for helping us out..." Brock smiled as he climbed off of Sora.

"Anytime!" Ash replied, embracing his friend. "A Rescue Force team is always meant to help out, even if it's another team."

"How can we ever repay you?" Terra agreed as she too hugged Ash.

"You still owe me an encore!" Torchic interjected, gesturing to the piano.

"All right, Torchic, I didn't forget about your encore..." Brock laughed as he settled before the piano. Ash led the clapping as another ragtime tune filled the air...

END MISSION 3
 
Sorry for not posting sooner... (curse school!)

Again, a great job, EmeraldSky!

Had to force myself to imagine what the new attacks were like during the Raikou battle, and when I did, boy did I like it! Sometimes, the HP color didn't work, and was somewhat hard to see, but that's probably because of my current theme. I didn't expect to see Eevee to be uber strong!

I definately was impressed on how you introduced a new Rescue Force team in (not to mention Brock.) Giving each of them a different personality was great, but I'd like to have seen them talk more. Part 3 of mission 3 was short, but overall, I think you did a good job. Keep up the good work, EmeraldSky!
 
Mission 4: Spooky Night in Pokemon Manor! (part 1)


"Morning, you guys..." Ash smiled as he brought breakfast to Pikachu, Eevee, and Treecko. "Where's Torchic and Mudkip?"

"Last I checked, they were upstairs watching movies and reading Eevee's Ichigo Mew mysteries..." Treecko began. "I'm not sure if they're still doing that, though."

"So THAT's where my latest collection went!" Eevee smiled. "I've been wanting to read my new Ichigo Mew collection for a week now, but you guys have been reading it before I can read it!" With that, she reached for a few colored pencils and started on drawing the distinctive long pink hair of Ichigo Mew.

"Maybe the rest of us want to read it too!" Pikachu protested, but was cut off by the phone. "Ash, telephone!"

"I got it..." Ash hurried into his office and began: "Good morning, Pokemon Rescue Force...hi, Misty!...mm-hmm...aww...oh...we'll be glad to help!...okay, we'll meet you there...see ya!" A few moments later, the alarm began to ring, sending the Rescue Force scrambling into the entryway. Torchic and Mudkip slid down the rescue pole and followed Pikachu aboard Swellow.

"Why did the alarm have to go off in the middle of 'The Aristomeowths'? Mudkip complained. "They were getting ready to sing 'Everybody Wants to Be a Meowth'! I like that song!"

"You'll get to hear it later, okay?" Ash assured Mudkip as Swellow took off into the sunshine.

Several hours later...

"Of all the times it had to rain, why did it decide to rain now?" Swellow complained as he soared through a raging storm.

"Yeah..we're getting wet!" Pikachu complained as he looked for something to shield him from the rain.

"Good thing I still remember most of the magic Rukario taught me!" Ash smiled as he formed a greenish light in his hands. "Shining light, protect from all directions! Shield!". At this, a shield made of green light appeared around the Rescue Force, shielding them from the rain.

"Now I can read without my Ichigo Mew book getting wet!" Eevee joyfully cried as she fished the book from her bag and started to read: "The beast bared its flickering fangs, and reared up to its full height, but Ichigo Mew was not afraid..."

"Heads up!" Swellow called as he veered out of the way of a low tree branch.

Eevee obediently ducked under the branch, then resumed reading. "The young detectives stood their ground, daring the Shadow Entei to do its worst."

At this, a flash of lightning lit up the sky, scaring Pikachu! "Uh, Eevee..." he started, but was cut off by having to duck under another branch.

"Not now, this is the good part!" Eevee hissed.

"But it's storming out, and I don't know how much longer the shield's going to last." Pikachu protested as he huddled close to Ash for warmth.

"Storm? What storm?" Eevee asked, but was cut off by a deafening thunderclap!

"THAT storm!" Torchic yelled. "You've been reading this whole time, haven't you?"

"Uh guys?" Swellow interrupted, silencing the escalating argument. "I'm afraid we're going to have to find a place to stop and rest until the worst of this storm blows over."

"Good idea..." Ash smiled. "Any sign of a place to rest?"

"Well..." Swellow glanced around for a moment, surveying the lights of Cerulean City in the distance, and the spires of a majestic mansion a little closer to him. "Cerulean City's too far away, so how would stopping at this mansion sound?"

"That's fine." Ash replied, remembering to duck as Swellow flew inside a cracked window. About that same time, the shield began to flicker as the Force climbed off of Swellow and onto the silk carpet.

Eevee glanced around the mansion for a moment, admiring its exquisite decor. "This house is great!" she announced.

"Oh?" Pikachu was interested.

"It looks just like the mansion in the mystery I was reading earlier, 'The Case of the Swelling Dwelling'" Eevee replied. At the second, an eerie howl pierced the air, scaring everyone!

"Oh no! What if that was the Shadow Entei in Eevee's story?" Torchic gasped.

"Don't be silly, you guys...there's no such thing." Ash assured his team. Another howl rang through the hallway, making Torchic shudder in fear. "Or...is there?" he stammered, obviously scared. Just then, the door at the end of the hallway began to thump, as if someone--or someTHING--was trying to break down the door.

"It's gonna get us!" Pikachu screamed. At this, everyone hurried to find a place to hide: Ash and Swellow ducked into a closet, Treecko, Torchic, and Eevee dove into the toe of a suit of armor, and Mudkip dragged Pikachu into a bucket of water lying in a corner.

Ash winced as he heard the door burst open, followed by panicked Growlithe barks, then the door slamming shut again. "Okay, so it wasn't a Shadow Entei after all..." he assured Swellow. With that, he peeked outside. Treecko opened the toe he, Torchic, and Eevee had been hiding in, and Mudkip and Pikachu surfaced from the water, Pikachu gasping for breath.

"Okay, guys..." Ash began. "The coast is--" but he was suddenly cut off by the door thumping again. "--not clear!" he almost screamed as he ducked back into the closet. Treecko closed up the armor toe again, and Pikachu held his breath again as he and Mudkip dove underwater.

Ash winced as he heard the door burst open again, followed by various yelling, screaming, pushing, shoving, and crashing of things being knocked over. When all the noise had quieted, he peeked out. "Okay guys...now the coast is clear."

"About time..." Pikachu grumbled as he dried himself off.

"Perfect timing too..." Swellow started as the Force climed aboard him again. "The rain's calmed down a bit."

"Psst...over here." said a voice.

Ash glanced at the floor and saw the Growlithe from earlier nuzzling his legs. "Well...how can I help, little guy?" he asked as he invited the Growlithe aboard Swellow.

"We've got to get out of here...the master of the house doesn't like Pokemon coming in the house." the Growlithe explained as Swellow took off into the rain again.

"Then what were you doing there?" Treecko was curious.

"Looking for something very important to my master and I." the Growlithe explained. "Misty and her Rescue Force team are helping us find it..."

"Well, we were on our way to help Misty and her team." Ash explained, "but the storm sidetracked us...know where she is?"

"She's staying with my master in that house over there..." the Growlithe replied, pointing out a house in the distance. Swellow nodded, and flew off towards the house, only pausing to circle in for a landing before the front stoop. Ash climbed off of Swellow, calmly approached the stoop and knocked.

"Well, who could that be..." a familiar voice asked as Misty peeked ouside. "Ash, you made it!" she smiled. "Come on in and dry off." she smiled as a Silver haired girl made a spot for Ash at the dinner table, where she and Misty were about to have dinner. "Ame and I were about to have dinner when you arrived." she explained.

"Please, help yourself..." the silver haired giel smiled as she set a plate piled high with meat, rice, and mushrooms before Ash. "I made enough for all of us to at least have seconds." She then turned to the Growlithe. "Did you find it, Kasen?" The Growlithe just hung his head, dejected. "No? Don't worry, Kasen...once we find Grandpa's will, Pokemon Manor will be ours."

"Let my team leader fill you in on the mission." Misty explained as she invited a Togetic next to her.

"All right, Ash...here's the deal." Togetic began. "The silver haired girl that served you...that's Ame; one of Misty's closest friends...her grandfather was a renowned explorer that built Pokemon Manor--the mansion you see in the distance--as a summer home."

"Go on..." Ash beckoned in between bites.

"Ame was only 14 when her grandfather passed on, but in his will, he bequeathed the manor to her, and that she would become its mistress when she turned 18." Togetic continued. "The day before Ame's 18th birthday, Team Rocket appeared and claimed they had the rights to the mansion. It was decided that if Ame can't find the will in 30 days, the house goes to Team Rocket."

"If only I could get back inside and find the will..." Kasen mused as he joined Ash, Misty, Ame, and Togetic at the table. "But those two Rockets that occupy the house and their Meowth are always there."

"Why don't we scare them away so we can come in?" Eevee suggested.

"Scare them?" Misty was curious.

"Yeah! It worked for Ichigo Mew and her friends in 'The Case of the Ghost Next Door'" Eevee explained, thumbing her mystery book to the appropriate page for Misty and Togetic to see.

Ash smiled. "Eevee, you're a genius!" He motioned for the two teams to come closer as the combined teams began discussing their plans....

Mission 4: Spooky Night in Pokemon Manor! (part 2)



"Everyone here?" Misty asked as she waited for her Rescue Force team--Togetic, Marill, Staryu, Golduck, and Seel--to meet with Ash, his team, and Kasen in the foyer of Pokemon Manor. Once everyone had assembled, the two teams huddled in a closet--the same closet that Ash and Swellow had hidden in earlier.

"Okay, we're ready for the big scare..." Ash bagan. "So, here's the deal: "We sneak into the room behind Team Rocket's bedroom and make them think it's haunted. I can do a good spooky laugh..."

"Kasen's got the howling covered..." Pikachu added.

"I'll scream!" Misty volunteered. "I can do a good scream!"

"I know..." Ash sighed, making Eevee and Torchic giggle. "Anyway, Eevee can make the Persian portrait in the bedroom shake...."

"Pikachu and I can open and close the drawers on the dresser!" Torchic volunteered. "That way, those Rockets will think someTHING is opening and closing the drawers!"

"Mudkip found a bellows by the fireplace..." Treecko began. "so with some help from Swellow, we'll make some whistling wind."

"While you guys are scaring the Rockets..." Togetic interjected. my team will doll Kasen up like a Houndour spirit...we already have the supplies." With that, she gestured to piles of fake bones, black fur tonic, fake chains, and spirit glitter gathered by her. "That'll be the grand finale to the spook-fest!"

"Sounds good!" Ash smiled.

"Rescue Forces, move out!" Misty commended. She watched as everyone hurried to their positions in the spare room overlooking the main bedroom...

A few minutes later...

"All set, everyone?" Ash asked as a two-way split image of his team appeared on his communicator--Treecko, Mudkip, and Swellow were positioned on the windowsill outside, which was thankfully under a small awning. Treecko and Mudkip manned the bellows, while Swellow hovered overhead, ready to unleash a few Gusts at the curtains.

"Sapphire, Emerald, Aquamarine ready!" Treecko replied.

"Remember, the code to start the wind efect is 'WINDY'" Ash explained. "Misty will say that as part of her screaming routine, so listen for that, okay?"

"The code is 'WINDY'...got it!" Mudkip replied.

Next, Ash checked in with the two members hiding in the drawers. "Torchic, Pikachu; you guys ready?"

"Topaz ready!" Pikachu replied from his drawer.

"Ruby ready!" Torchic agreed.

"Diamond ready!" Eevee called as she carefully jiggled the portrait.

"Okay..." Ash smiled, but then noticed Jessie, James, and Meowth walking in the room, all wearing night clothes. "Everyone, quiet!" He listened as Meowth chattered on to his human companions...

"Just tink..." Meowth smiled as he curled into a ball on the bedpost. "Da boss will give us a promotion for sure when dese tirty days are over, as tanks for givin' him such a beautiful house!"

"Too bad we have to wait twenty-nine more...." Jessie smiled as she flicked off her light. "Good night, everyone..."

"Night, Jessie..." James yawned as he rolled over and dozed off.

"Night, you guys..." Meowth smiled as he too dozed off.

"Eevee...now." Ash whispered. Eevee nodded and begin shaking the portrait, jarring the Rockets awake! Eevee couldn't resist giggling at the Rockets' panicked reactions.

"Dah!" Meowth yelped when he saw two drawers seemingly opening and closing on their own. "Da dresser's alive!"

"MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!! YOU CANNOT ESCAPE!!!!" Ash proclaimed in his best "spooky monster" voice as a crash of thunder rumbled outside, causing the three Rockets scramble to find a place to hide! James fled under the blanket, while Meowth hurried to a hidden compartment in the bed's canopy. Jessie fled to a closet, only pausing to peek outside every so often.

"This is it, we're done for! " Meowth shuddered. "Some monster's out to get us!"

"The real estate agent didn't say this place was haunted!" James commented from under the covers.

"Well, we know tings couldn't get any woise..." Meowth started, but was cut off by an eerie scream!

"Wind, punish these evildoers for their deeds!" Misty commanded in her best spooky voice. "WINDY!" As if on cue, the curtains began to billow out, and wind began to blow. At this, Jessie and Meowth joined James under the covers.

Ash smiled as his team rejoined him and Misty in the spare room. "Great work, you guys!"

"You did great too!" Torchic smiled. "I didn't know you could do a good scary voice!"

"I've had practice." Ash smiled as he watched Kasen, now in disguise as a Ghost Houndour, chased the Rockets around the room and out into the hallway!

Togetic watched as Ash and the others exited the spare room. "Well done, guys...and Kasen's doing great!" No sooner had she said that, did she see the disguise began to fall apart. "Uh oh...Ash, you still know magic, right?"

"Course I do..." Ash replied. "Why?"

"You might want to cast a spell on the Rockets before they turn Kasen into sushi." Togetic cautioned, pointing out James about to slice Kasen with a sword.

"I have just the spell..." and Ash formed a yellow light in his hands. "Mindless, spiritless, hear the immutable beat... Paralyze!" At this, thunderbolts rained from Ash's hands, paralyzing all three Rockets! James' sword fell to the floor as Kasen, now undisguised ran to meet the others.

"Nice spell, Ash!" Misty commented as the group ran down another hallway...only to come to a stop at a mirror! "Uh oh..."

"It's a dead end!" Pikachu agreed. "I don't know how long Ash's Paralyze spell will last...."

"It may not be a dead end..." Eevee began as she fished her Ichigo Mew mystery book from her bag. "In 'The Case of the Wick of the Wax', Ichigo Mew found a secret passage hidden in a mirror like this." With that, she hurried over to the frame and pushed against it with all her strength, but nothing happened.

"Hey, did Rukario teach you summoning magic?" Misty asked.

"Hmm..." Ash thought for a moment, then remembered the Summon Balls in his bag! "Yeah, he did...and to summon him if I needed his help." With that, Ash reached for a blue and black Poke Ball and heaved it into the air! "Open the doors to where power lives! Rukario!" At this, a bright rainbow light spewed from the ball, which formed into the magical wolf-like Pokemon, Rukario.

"Sir Ash...how may I serve you this evening?" Rukario asked.

"Could you check for a passageway behind this mirror?" Ash asked. Rukario nodded, and snapped, making the mirror's surface disappear, revealing an entrance to a passageway.

"It worked!" Eevee smiled.

"Indeed, there was a passage here." Rukario agreed. "If you ever need my help again, do not hsitate to summon me." With that, Rukario disappered inside the summon Ball. Ash picked it up and followed everyone inside...once everyone had entered, the mirror returned to its normal state.

Inside the passage...

"Wow, a secret passage!" Eevee was enthralled by the fact the group was in a secret passage. "This is just like the one Ichigo Mew found in--"

"Can you please stop this Ichigo Mew stuff?" Treecko snapped, annoyed by Eevee's constant references to Ichigo Mew mysteries.

"Miss Ichigo's got us this far, so don't complain." Ash assured Treecko. "Although...where could the will be hidden? And where will this passage take us?"

'Don't you worry! Eevee Mew is on the case!" Eevee smiled, putting on an Ichigo Mew wig for emphasis.

"Not again..." Pikachu sighed. Treecko groaned in agreement.

Eevee, meanwhile, was explaining the nuances of Ichigo Mew to Misty and her team. "Now, whenever Ichigo Mew an her friends want to find something, the first thing they do is find some clues!" she explained, grabbing a magnifying glass from her bag. "Follow me!"

"How are we going to find the will if all Eevee wants to do is walk around?" Mudkip complained as the group walked off down the passage.

An hour or so later...

"Hmm...I don't know why we haven't found anything yet...." Eevee began as she continued scanning the ground for clues. "Secret passages usually have all kinds of clues!"

"Does this count as a clue?" Mudkip asked, showing Eevee a nail.

"No, it's only a nail." Eevee replied.

"How bout this?" Treecko suggested as he dragged a chain over for Eevee to inspect.

"No, that's only a chain." Eevee replied.

"Hey, Eevee-go! Is THIS a clue?" Pikachu asked, pointing at some cobwebs in a corner.

"No, that's--A SPINARAK!!!" Eevee yelped as a Spinarak descended into the magnifying glass, making it appear to be the size of an Ariados to Eevee! Pikachu howled with laughter as he walked, pleased that he had scared Eevee.

"Hey, guys! I think I've found something!" Ash called from a little far down the passage. Pikachu led the others to the spot was Ash was studying an inscription. "It says 'Bring light to the darkness...'

"Could that mean...that candleholder over there?" Torchic suggested, pointing out a candleholder nearby the inscription.

"What do you think, Ichigo?" Ash asked, playing along with Eevee's Ichigo Mew routine.

"Well..." Eevee thought for a moment, then consulted her mystery book. "I'll read, and you do what I say, all right?"

"Sounds good..." and Ash grabbed the candleholder....

"Ichigo slowly pulled on the candleholder..." Eevee read, prompting Ash to grab the candleholder. "and opened a secret door!"

"It worked!" Misty smiled as part of the wall opened like a door.

"Being very careful to side to one side to avoid the trap door..." Eevee read. As if on cue, a trapdoor appeared under Ash, but Misty pulled him out before he could fall. "You okay?" Eevee asked as Misty helped Ash to his feet.

"I'm fine, but you could use a course in speed reading!" Ash joked, causing everyone to laugh....

Mission 4: Spooky Night in Pokemon Manor! (part 3)



"Where are we?" Pikachu asked as the wall closed behind him.

"I think we're in some kind of office." Misty explained as she glanced around the room, bemused by the bookshelves lining the walls--and the fact a familiar silver haired girl sat before a PC, typing something.

"Ame?" Ash was surprised.

"Surprise." Ame smiled as she turned away from the screen for a moment. "I'm amazed you guys found my secret spot...I came here to finish up work on the latest Ichigo Mew collection."

Eevee's eyes widened. "You mean..."

"Yeah...I'm the one that writes Ichigo's adventures." Ame replied. "Grandpa created Ichigo Mew many years ago as a magazine serial series...and he would read his lastest stories when I was younger...so I'm carrying on the tradition of writing new stories for a new generation to enjoy his work."

"Wow!" Pikachu was impressed.

Eevee, meanwhile, was examining various objects in the room. "Here's a fireplace poker...just like in 'The Case of the Fire Spirit'...and here's a doctor's bag...just like in 'The Case of the Medic's Curse'..." She then hopped on Ame's desk. "Wonder what the one you're writing's called?"

"I'm calling it 'The Case of the Phantom Poet'." Ame replied as she resumed typing. "I'm not spoiling anything though!"

"Hate to interrupt your chat, Eevee, but could you help us find the will?" Ash asked as he shoved a few boxes aside.

"Hmm..." Treecko noticed a piece of paper embedded in a book. "What's this?" After tugging on it a bit, he eased it out from the pages and studied it...then his eyes widened! "Ash! I found it!" he called, proudly displaying the will as proof.

"Nice work, Treecko!" Torchic replied as she joined Treecko on the shelf.

"Great...now to get this will out of here before the Rockets find it." Misty smiled. "My team...start packing up Ame's belongings..."

"Got it!" and Togetic led Misty's team outside into the rain.

"And our resident mage will defend the will while we take it out." Pikachu smiled, winking at Ash as Ame saved her story...

Later...

"Okay, guys...keep quiet." Ash whispered as the gang exited the passage and started down the hall.

"But what if--" Mudkip started.

"Stop worrying!" Treecko shushed Mudkip. "You always worry too much..."

No sooner had the gang rounded a corner, did Jessie snatch the will! "I'll take this, thank you!" she gloated as she took the will over to a candle holder and began to burn it. "Now Ame will never know, and the house is ours!"

"Oh yeah?" Ash taunted as he formed a blue light in his hands."Freezing wind, speak of forgotten truths! Blizzara!" At this, snow and ice rained from Ash's hands, freezing the candles...and Jessie. Treecko grabbed the slighly charred will and took off through the snow....

"THUNDER BLAZE!" Pikachu fired a thunderbolt as James appeared in the hall, knocking him into Jessie! Kasen leapt onto the Rockets and began scratching them as Torchic and Mudkip dealt with Meowth.

Ash, meanwhile, fled the battle and caught up to Treecko inside a closet. "Here...let me heal the will." Treecko offered the burnt edge to Ash, who formed a white light in his hands. "Life's refreshing breeze, heal from the sky! Cure!" At this, the burnt corner returned to normal.

"Let's take this to Officer Jenny." Treecko began as he and Ash started for the door...

The next morning...

"Thank you so much..." Kasen smiled as Ash and his team climbed aboard Swellow. "Thanks to you, Pokemon Manor is ours, just like it was bequeathed!"

'If only Grandpa could've seen this day..." Ame mused. "He would thank you personally."

"Our pleasure." Ash replied.

"Before you leave though...I have a gift for Eevee." and Ame presented a book to Eevee. "This is the latest Ichigo Mew collection--I autographed the first copy as thanks for your help."

"Thanks!" Eevee smiled as she began leafing through the pages....

END MISSION 4
 
Mission 5: Pokemon Egg-stravaganza! (part 1)




"Guys?" Ash asked as he walked into one of the bedrooms, where Pikachu and Eevee lay, asleep. "Can I trust you two to go pick up a few things at the Pokemart?"

"Now?" Eevee complained as she crawled out of bed. "But I'm tired...."

"Come on, it's only for a few things." Ash assured Eevee as he led Pikachu and Eevee downstairs, and placed them aboard Swellow. Once Pikachu had gotten comfortable, Ash handed a piece of paper to him. "Here's the list of things I need."

"All right!" Pikachu replied, motioning to Swellow. "The Pokemart..." Swellow nodded, and flew off into the morning sun.

At the Pokemart...

"Let's see here..." Pikachu mused as he consulted Ash's list. "Potions...Pokechow..." he started, but was unsure of the next few items. "Eevee? What else did Ash say to get?"

"I think he mentioned..." Eevee started, when she heard a crash. "Huh?"

"Come on!" Pikachu led Eevee into the egg and dairy aisle, where they discovered an egg carton with two eggs missing. "In here!"

After a few tense seconds, Pikachu heard frantic screaming from outside. "Oh dear! This is no time for hide and seek..." Just then, Pikachu and Eevee found themselves looking at a Spearow, who jerked back in surprise. "Oh!" Pikachu and Eevee calmly waved a hello, which seemed to assure the Spearow everything was all right. "Have you two seen any Spearow eggs around here?"

"Um, these are all Pidgey eggs." Eevee explained. The Spearow just stared at Eevee, confused.

"You know..." and Pikachu began imitating a Pidgey. "Pidgey! Pidgey! Pidgey!" Just then, he noticed some Pokemart staff approaching them, intent on catching the Spearow. Pikachu led Eevee back to their waiting items, all the while mindful of the struggle a few aisles over.

Just as the twosome went through the checkout lane, the Spearow caught up to them. "I appriciate your help...but I really need to find my lost egg!"

"We're your mon!" Pikachu smiled as he flashed his Rescue Force badge before the Spearow. "We're part of the Pokemon Rescue Force--it's our job to help people and Pokemon!"

"Just tell our master everything--and we'll try our best to help." Eevee added as she finished loading the items onto Swellow. "Come on!" The Spearow hesitantly climbed aboard, and Swellow took off for home...

Back at the base...

"Ash, we're home!" Eevee called as Swellow landed back at the base.

"Thank you, you guys..." Ash started as he emerged from the office. "I'll take these..." he started as he unloaded the items from Swellow, until he found the Spearow looking up at him. "Oh! Hi there! How can we help you?"

The Spearow climbed off of Swellow and settled on the couch before Ash. "Well--" she started...

"Wait..." Ash interrupted. "Let me get the rest of the Force in here..." and with that, he whistled, then waited as he heard footsteps up above. "Here they come..." he assured the Spearow as Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip slid down the rescue pole and joined Ash on the couch.

"What's going on?" Treecko asked.

"This Spearow needs our help..." Ash explained, motioning for the Spearow to begin.

"Well first of all, let me introduce myself..." the Spearow began. "My name is Sora...I live with my mate, Kaze, in Pallet Grove, not far from Viridian City. You see, with spring in the air, Kaze and I began planning for our first clutch of eggs..."

"Mm-hmm..." Treecko nodded. "Spring just started a few days ago." he commented, pointing out the calandar.

"Anyway..." Sora continued. "Two days ago, I laid my first egg...Kaze had gone to find our dinner for the evening, and I had gone down to the stream to get a drink...until I heard a hiss, one that sounded like fire."

"You mean like a hot air balloon?" Torchic asked.

"Yes!" Sora smiled. "I saw a Meowth balloon descend close to the nest, and it stole the egg! I tried to stop them, but all I could do was hold on...I held on for as long is I could...until the balloon drop me on top of a Pokemart...I checked every Pokemart in the area, hoping that our first child hadn't become breakfast for a trainer. That's how I met these two." she concluded, gesturing to Pikachu and Eevee.

Ash was silent for a moment as he pondered Sora's story. "Well, Sora...the Meowth balloon you described sounds like it would belong to Team Rocket..."

"Team Rocket?" Sora gasped. "What would they want with an egg?"

"Sometimes Team Rocket goes after the silliest things for their plots..." Treecko replied.

"Easy, Treecko..." Ash interuppted. "We're not entirely sure it's Team Rocket's doing yet." He turned to Sora. "Tell you what, Sora...if you'll meet up with us at the edge of Pallet Grove tomorrow morning, we'll search together...how's that sound?"

"What a wonderful idea!" Sora was elated. "Thank you all for helping me out...Kaze will be so glad to hear that you're helping me!"

"Any time, Sora!" Ash called after Sora as she departed the base. "Any time!"

To Be Continued...
 
Mission 5: Pokemon Egg-stravaganza! (part 2)



The next morning...

"Any sign if them yet, Kaze?" Sora asked as the two Spearows perched on a tree just outside the grove. The male Spearow said nothing, but kept a watchful eye on the horizon for any sign of a Swellow. "They said they'd come on their Swellow."

"I know, Sora." Kaze calmly replied. "You're doing a brave thing by searching for our egg...but I'm worried about the possibility of you getting captured."

"Captured?" Sora swallowed hard at this.

"Even with the combined might of the Pokemon Rescue Force helping you out, there's still a chance those evil humans could capture you." Kaze explained. "If that happens, tell the Rescue Force to look after the egg in our stead."

"All right..." and the pair nuzzled ach other one last time before Swellow appeared on the horizon.

"Be careful, my love!" Kaze called as his mate climbed aboard Swellow.

"I will, Kaze!" Sora replied as Swellow flew off above the treetops....

Later...

"Haven't we found any clues?" Sora sighed as she slumped next to Pikachu. "We've been flying around for hours!"

"I know you're frustrated..." Ash started, but was frantically interuppted by Torchic frantically pointing out two more winged figures on the horizon. "What is it, Torchic?"

"Two Pidgeottos...and they don't look friendly!" Torchic shrieked as the two Pidgeottos dove at the group! Ash pulled Swellow out of the way, making the Pidgeottos miss!

"Missed me!" Eevee taunted, sticking out her tongue at the Pidgeottos. The Pidgeottos just circled back around and charged at the group again!

"Way to go, Eevee...now they're coming back at us!" Mudkip grumbled as Ash veered Swellow out of the way again!

"SWELLOW TWISTER!" Swellow callled as he summoned a gust of wind to throw at the Pidgeottos!

"THUNDER BLAZE!" Pikachu fired a few thunderbolts into the wind gusts, shocking the Pidgeottos as they charged at the group, stunning them long enough for the group to get away...

"Nice shot!" Treecko smiled as the group approached a mansion, where a blonde haired female grunt was being escorted inside. "I think that's our egg-napper..." he smiled as Ash led Swellow behind a tree.

"Welcome home, Tama..." a butler started as he helped to get the coat off of the girl.

"The Spearow egg...did you get it?" the girl asked as she walked into a display room filled with various Pokemon eggs, except for one spot reserved for a Spearow egg.

"Yes, Sir Giovanni shipped it here while you were out." the butler replied, handing the girl a familiar egg. "Is there another egg you're missing?"

"Boy, this Tama girl sure likes eggs!" Torchic noted as she glanced around the hall, taking note of the various egg decor in the room.

"I'll say..." Treecko agreed as Tama accepted a drink from a servant.

"Odd...a Rocket that collects eggs..." Ash was puzzled. "I've never encountered a Rocket that stole stuff just for the sake of looking at it..."

"Giovanni did on that mission in Pewter City, remember?" Mudkip added.

"That was different...Tama just steals stuff to look at just because." Ash explained. "On the Pewter mission, the stolen object had special powers that Giovanni couldn't use...Tama just steals ordinary stuff to further her own ends." He was about to say more when he noticed Sora creeping up to the pedestal where the Spearow egg was being held. "Sora! NO!"

"Come to mama..." Sora started, but was cut off by a siren ringing! "Oh no!" She frantically tossed the egg to Ash. "Take the egg, get it out of here, quickly!" she screeched as she fought off two servants.

"We can't leave you here!" Ash protested as Sora continued to struggle.

"Just go!" Sora screeched as she continued to fight. Ash and the Force reluctantly turned to leave as Sora and the mansion's denizens battled...

Back at the base...

"Great, we're stuck egg-sitting after the mother Spearow stubbronly refused to flee a battle she knew she had no chance of winning." Treecko complained as Ash slid into his console in the office.

"That's why I'm getting Brock's advice on how to run the old incubator I found in the attic." Ash explained. "We'll see if we can make it hatch and raise the chick ourselves." With that, he dialed Brock's code number. "Master Jewel calling Fire Red..."

"This is Fire Red..." Brock's voice replied. "What's happening in Pallet?"

"Well, our latest mission involves helping a mother Spearow find her lost egg." Ash explained. "We helped her search, and came to the mansion of a very wealthy Rocket named Tama; who loves to collect eggs."

"Weird...usually Rockets collect rare and magic artifacts." Brock was also perplexed.

"I know." Ash replied. "Any ideas on how we can raise the egg? We managed to recover it, but the mother, Sora, is presumed captured; and we were going to care for it in her stead until we can rescue her..."
