After far too long of a wait, and a brief pause for some parody humor. I have finally written the next segment of my story. I'm sorry about leaving you people in suspense, but I just couldn't get this written until now. I tried many times, but the words wouldn't come. I'm now happy to say that the writer's block has passed. So without further interuption, the next segment of Live and Let Live.
"What's going on?!" Ash demended.
"He he he," Lance chuckled, low and demonic. "I did it..." he whispered to himself. "I actually did it..."
"Answer me!" Ash insisted.
"Huh?" Lance looked down at the group of people below him. "Oh! Fancy meeting you here..." He paused to think. "Ash, isn't it? And you two are Brock and Misty, right? And if it isn't my friends and fellow G-Men, Morty and Eusine!"
"What have you done?" Eusine questioned. There was nothing but hatred in his voice.
"So much for warm welcomes." Lance was growing tired of toying with them anyway. During their conversation, Team Rocket had been sneaking up on him with a fishing net. "To make a long story short; this device stole her powers, gave them to me, and now I can do this." Team Rocket sprang at Lance, but while they were still midair, Lance turned to them and pointed his right index finger at each of them, one by one. Each of them recieved the same treatment. A thin beam of red light shot from his finger into their chests. They fell like lifeless rag dolls into the water where the current pulled them into the pool below.
Eusine, Morty, and Ash gasped in disbelief, Misty let out a high-pitched squiel of astonishment, and Brock shouted, "You're a monster!"
"Now, now, there's no need to hurt my feelings. I'm just taking over where Ho-oh left off."
"But you killed her!" Misty cried.
"Details, details," Lance shrugged.
"I won't let you get away with this!" Ash stated. "Bayleef, go!" He threw a Pokéball into the air. "Vine Whip!" Imediately after she appeared outside of her ball she commenced her attack.
"Gyarados, go!" Lance acted at the same time as Ash. Lance's red-hued Gyarados appeared from his confinement. He didn't need Lance to give an order to know what to do. Bayleef screamed as her vines were caught within the Gyarados' vicious teeth.
During this time, Morty had also been planning his attack. "Gengar, now!" Gengar rose from the ground behind Lance; firing a Nightshade attack at him. The attack would have been strong enough to leave Lance in spasams for several minutes if it had made its mark. Instead, Lance sprung away into the air, hovering out away from the waterfall and above the pool below.
"You can fly?" Misty gasped.
"I told you; I've taken all of Ho-oh's abilities."
Gengar and Bayleef both launced their second attacks. Bayleef withdrew her vines, knowing full well that if Gyarados maintaned his hold on her, his weight would cause her to be drawn to him. Her gamble was correct. Gyarados continued his vice hold and Bayleef was flung towards him. She used her own momentum to slap him with a painful Body Slam. The Gyarados took the attack right in his face. His grip was loosed and Bayleef broke free, landing atop the waterfall.
Gengar flew up to Lance, launching Nightshades, Confuse Rays, and other various attacks while dodging Lance's flurries of fire attacks. In the same manner Ash barked order after order to Bayleef while she battled against Gyarados. As the finishing move, Bayleef wrapped her vines around Gyarados' neck and forced him off the precipice they were on. As he fell, Bayleef continued her choke hold on him and stood on his back, riding atop him until they landed in the pool below. She then removed her vines from around his neck and jumped away onto the soft sand of the shore. Gyarados had fainted.
"No!" Lance screamed. He, too, descended to the shore. "This ends now..." He pointed his finger at Bayleef.
"Gengar, block it!" Morty ordered. Gengar hurriedly placed himself between Lance and Bayleef. Terror was in his Gengar's face as a thin red beam of light pierced his heart. He slumped to the floor then slowly dissapated into nothingness.
What just happened?" Ash quieried.
"He killed my Gengar..." Morty replied slowly.
"But Gengar's a ghost, isn't it?" Brock asked.
"Not exactly," Eusine replied.
"It's a Ghost-type Pokémon," Morty started to explain. "Ghost Pokémon aren't actually ghosts. They are just dubbed Ghost-type because they don't fit into any other catagory and they demonstrate abilities similar to those of fabled ghosts, spirits, wraiths, poltergeists, any many other types of apparitions.
"They can travel through walls because they have the ability to break apart their cells and pass through at a microscopic level. This is what gives the appearance of corporeal intangibility."
"Corporate tang?" Ash asked hopelessly.
"Corporeal intangibility is when something can be seen but not touched, such as light.
"That teamed up with other abilities, including weightlessness, invisibility, no shadow, and making people hallucinate have caused most scientists to believe that Ghost-type Pokémon are really Psychic-types with far more advanced abilities."
"Lovely speach," Lanced mused, "but I really must be going. So, I bid thee -- Aarghg!" Lance's farewell was cut short by Bayleef blindsiding him with a Body Slam. Before Lance had fully realized what had happened to him, he shot a flurry of his "Death Rays" in a panicked rage. Three of them hit their marks.
Bayleef...
Gyarados...
Misty...
