Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Pokemon Reality: reality check

Chapter 24

A funny story about this chapter. This was originally titled "The last Stand" but since it turned out to be insanely long I decided to just cut this chapter into two parts and give the first part a last minute title change.
Please don't get Amy and Katie mixed up since they're sharing text colors.

Chapter 24: Clash of Tyrants​

Vik and his mother were climbing up a ladder up to the roof of the base when They heard Dialga using its Time Roar.
Mrs. Armstrong: “What is that? Doesn’t sound like a pokemon we’ve heard on the cartoon show.”
Vik: “Sounds like Chase is in big trouble. We need to hurry and get dad then help him before its too late.” When they reach the 3 story high room, they see Mr. Armstrong with a tool belt attempting to fix a TV satellite.
Vik: “Dad, what are you doing?”
Mr. Armstrong: “Not now, I’m already fixing the satellite dish. Wait a minute, the two of you shouldn’t be on here.” The next anyone on the roof heard was a cry of another pokemon. The Armstrong family looks to the sky and sees a Skarmory approaching fast with a Pidgeot not too far from it. Vik managed to recognize the two people riding the pokemon. Brad the “Rocket Boss” along with Amy. Soon a flock of 8 other Rocket members appeared on their flying type pokemon.
Brad (Shouting): “Hey Vik, here comes the cavalry!” Vik and his mother were happy to see Brad coming to the rescue. Mr. Armstrong, still under his mind control pulls a walkie talkie out of his tool belt in an attempt to contact one of the TC members. Brad quickly catches on and decides to take swift action.
Brad: “Skarmory, use Spikes attack to destroy that walkie talkie!” Skarmory follows Brad’s directs orders and destroys the wlakie talkie before Mr. Armstrong could call in trouble.
Mr. Armstrong: “When I’m done with you folks you’ll regret coming to Team Chaos’s base.” Brad and Amy come in for a landing on their pokemon while the rest of the members waiting on their flying pokemon.
Amy: “What’s with your dad?”
Vik: “Chase told me about a Hypno and a Darkrai that Team Chaos has been using to brainwash people, like my parents for instance. I think they Hypnosis or something like that.”
Mr. Armstrong: “I’m fine. It’s an honor to serve Team Chaos, unless the tv reception for ESPN is ruined.”
Mrs. Armstrong: "He's still in there, but I know he's under hypnosis for sure. The real Mr. Armstrong doesn't know how to use any of those tools on that belt! He needs to be snapped out of his hypnosis like I was"
Vik: "Yeah, Dad fix something?" Amy takes out her cartridge ball with her LeafGreen game in it.
Amy: “I can fix this. Butterfree, I choose you!” Butterfree comes out of her cartridge ball and hovers over Amy.
Amy: “Cancel out Mr. Armstrong’s brainwashing with Dream Eater!” Butterfree’s eyes glow Purple and Mr. Armstrong starts getting a headache. He almost collapses to the ground and soon has no memory of what’s happened recently. Soon it stops removing the effects of Hypnosis.
Mr. Armstrong: “What just happened? Vik, Brad, where are we and why am I wearing someone else’s tool belt?” He takes off the tool belt and leaves next to the TV satellite.
Vik: “Dad, you and mom have been kidnapped and then brainwashed. Team Chaos was using you two and AJ as bait to get me and Chase here.”
Mrs. Armstrong: “AJ? But didn’t Chase tell us that he disappeared a while ago?”
Vik: “Mom, there’s no time to explain. We need to get back inside the base and help Chase out.” Unknown to Vik, Chase was already getting help. Having also heard Dialga using Time Roar, Ariados and Gwen headed back toward Jason’s control room. This time, Gwen had her cartridge ball back thanks to Shade’s Ariados. She waited for Jason to leave the control room. He wondered off into the cafeteria to get himself something to eat. Gwen then used Ariados’s String Shot to head up into the corridor that led into the control so that not much noise would be heard as she snuck in. As she finished her climb, a loud banging noise was heard on the roof and the whole base shook.
Gwen: “What’s going on up there?” Jason wondered the same thing when he dropped his cinnamon roll and spilled his milk.
Jason: “Will I ever get a moments peace today?” Up on the roof, Vik has released his Tyranitar.
Vik: “Come on Tyranitar, you got to use Earthquake to break through the ceiling! Try one more time.” Vik and his parents climbed aboard his Rayquaza that one of the Rockets found and revived. Tyranitar leaps into the air and then bounds onto the ceiling and manages to leave huge dents and cracks. Below, Gwen panics and hurries into the control room and sees Chase, Shade, the young kids, Spiny, Ralts, Ponyta, shiny Rayquaza and Pachirisu all frozen from Roar of Time's effect. Darkrai was also frozen both by the effect and in a block of ice. Gwen prepares her cartridge ball and then throws it.
Gwen: “Help me out Flareon! You too Miltank!” Flareon and Miltank both come out of Gwen’s cartridge ball. After they emerge, another tremor occurs, this one more violent than the last one. After the tremor stopped, Gwen got back to business.
Gwen: “Flareon, use Overheat to defrost Darkrai! Miltank, when Flareon’s done, use Heal Bell on everyone in this room!” Flareon loosens a powerful stream of flames that melts Darkrai. Even though all the ice was gone, Darkrai was still frozen in time. Then Miltank shakes its tail as a chiming sound is emitted. Soon everyone effected by Roar of Time starts to have a green aura glow around them. Within seconds, everyone is back to normal.
Chase: “Whoa, what just happened?” At that moment, another tremor occurs. Above one of the main rooms of the base, Tyranitar and Vik broke through the roof and fall 3 stories to the ground. Jason is not surprised by Vik’s performance as he and his Tyranitar crash into the base. Soon Brad and Amy fly in through the huge hole in the roof on their Skarmory and Pidgeot. Followed by the other 8 Rockets who came. The Armstrongs just waited above the roof on Vik's Rayquaza. Vik immediately confronts Jason.
Vik: “Jason, what happened to my friends?”
Jason: “What’s this, the Rocket Lunatic and his friends come to cause me some chaos? Well Chase and your other friends are resting at the moment. You could say they’ve never been better.”
Brad: “I don’t have time for chit chat. Slacking, it’s time to dominate!”
Amy: “Dragonite, I choose you!” Tyranitar, Slacking, and Dragonite all stare down at Jason, ready for anything that he could do. Jason just throws his Elite ball.
Jason: “Dialga, use Roar of Time on all of them!” Dialga appears and is about to use it’s Roar of Time when a Hyper Beam from behind it hits and throws off its concentration. Jason looks up and sees Chase with his Metagross using Hyper Beam on Dialga. Shade was also there with his Ariados and Darkrai. His Ariados fires a Night Shade attack to help Chase’s Metagross.
Brad: “Quick Slacking, use Hyper Beam too!”
Amy: “Made it a double Hyper Beam, Dragonite!”
Vik: “Tyranitar, team up for a triple Hyper Beam!” All three tyrants from the Rocket group fire their Hyper Beams at Dialga. But it’s not long before Dialga deflects all the beams and appears to be barely damaged.
Shade: “Don’t they know that using just Hyper Beam won’t work since Dialga is part Steel type?”
Chase: “I’m not giving up so easily. Articuno, come on out!” Chase throws his cartridge ball and his fully recovered Articuno appears below him. He jumps onto its back and then rides down to where Vik and the other Rockets were. At that same moment, a huge number of TC grunts appear. Brad isn’t too worried by the threat.
Brad: “Okay Rockets, lets show them what we’re made of. Attack!” The other rockets release their main battling pokemon. Blastoise, Typhlosion, Mewtwo, Machamp all appear and begin attacking the TC Grunts who have Luxray, Toxicroak, PorygonZ, and Gliscor. The massive battle was just beginning. Soon Vik notices that Chase was alone.
Vik: “Hey Chase, where are those kids you brought with us?”
Chase: “With Gwen and AJ.” Although, AJ was still not himself. Gwen was trying to use her Miltank’s Heal Bell to make AJ snap out of it. However, nothing seemed to work right. AJ still thought he was Skyler, but having been hypnotized so many times Skyler was starting to become a bit more out of control.
Skyler: “Quit trying my patience Gwen. I’m becoming very irritated by you wasting my time.”
Gwen: “Trust me Skyler, this is for your best interest.” Meanwhile, Lucas gave Ralts a Revive item that Gwen gave him out of her Emerald game. Zach did the same thing for his Fearow. Both Fearow and Ralts slowly recover but remain very weak.
Katie: “Is Ralts gonna be ok?”
Lucas: “Ralts helped me out so much. If it could use Synchronize again I think it can help AJ remember again.”
Gwen: “Lucas, that’s it.”
Skyler: “What’s it?”
Gwen: “In the game Ralts is known as the Emotion pokemon. By using synchronize Ralts can tap into your emotions and use those to help your brother remember.” Skyler couldn’t remember the last time synchronize was used on him. All he knew was that he needed to defeat whoever was trying to wreck the base.
Skyler: “I have no time for this. Rayquaza, let’s head into battle." Rayquaza picks up Skyler with one of its claws and then flies out of the corridor and into the main room were the battle was taking place.
Zach: “Now what do we do?”
Gwen: “You kids stay here and wait for Fearow and Ralts to fully recover. Until the pokemon are done recovering, don’t come out of this room.” She and her Miltank and Flareon head down the corridor. When she sees the battle, there are several pokemon battling and Dialga was trying to use Time Roar to freeze everyone, but Tyranitar, Dragonite, Articuno, and on occasions Slacking wouldn’t allow it. Shade then sneaks upon her.
Shade: “Sorry Gwen, but you’d just interfere. Dark Void attack, Darkrai!” Darkrai uses Dark Void and Gwen, Miltank, and Flareon all pass out. Skyler on his Rayquaza fly by.
Skyler: “What are you doing Shade?”
Shade: “Eliminating my threats. Dark Void again, Darkrai!”
Skyler: “Fly up to that hole in the roof and use Draco Meteor on everything in this room!” Rayquaza follows Skyler’s orders and begins its attack. Chase manages to catch up to him on his Articuno.
Skyler: “Finally, my greatest adversary has appeared in front of me.”
Chase: “Look AJ, or Skyler, uh, whoever you are. Jason has everyone in the palm of his hand. You got realize who the real enemy is. (quietly) Articuno, use Mind Reader on his Rayquaza.” Articuno coos softly as it focuses on the shiny Rayquaza.
Skyler: “I have realized who my enemy is, and he’s right in front of me. Rayquaza, switch to a Hyper Beam!” Rayquaza stops its Draco Meteor attack and fires its Hyper Beam. From Below, Brad, Vik, Amy and the others were trying hard to win the battle and wear out Dialga before it used any of its powers.
Jason: “I’ve had enough of this. Return Dialga!” Dialga goes back into the Elite ball.
Brad: “Do you surrender?”
Jason: “No, I’m just getting warmed up. Dialga, come back on out!” Dialga comes back out fully recovered from all its injuries.
Vik: “No way! How did Dialga get healed so quickly?”
Brad: “If I had to guess it has something to do with that weird pokeball.”
Jason: “Roar of Time attack, now!”
Shade: “Darkrai, use Dark Void to stop Dialga!” Dark Void hits before Roar of Time is started. Jason throws a pokeball ball in response to that.
Jason: “Regigigas, now its your turn.” Regigigas appears and is taller than all the other pokemon, towering at a height of over 12 feet.
Jason: “Use Crush Grip on that pesky Dragonite!” Regigigas slowly extends it's huge right claw at Dragonite.
Amy: “Use Agility, Dragonite!” Chase looks down at the battle going on. Drgonite manages to fly out of range of Regigigas' range.
Chase: “This is insane.”
Skyler: “Forget about them, it’s just you and me.”
Chase: “I really didn’t want to do this, but Gengar, come on out and use Dream Eater on Skyler! Metagross, use Explosion and Articuno, use Sheer Cold!” Chase’s friends heard his commands as well.
Amy: “Butterfree, Protect us so the explosion won’t hit us.” Butterfree projects a barrier around Amy, Vik, Brad, and itself. The other Rockets and TC Grunts take cover as Chase’s Metagross glows a bright red and then explodes. Articuno manages to blast Rayquaza with Sheer Cold and OHKO it. As Rayquaza falls, Chase catches AJ and Gengar starts using Dream Eater and begins to cancel out as much as the Dark Voids and Hypnosis that has been used on Skyler. Soon Skyler becomes unconcious from all the mental stress he has. Chase grabs Skyler’s cartridge ball and recalls the shiny Rayquaza and then recalls his Metagross to his cartridge ball as well. Soon Lucas and Zach Fly toward on Fearow with Ralts.
Lucas: “Chase, stop it!”
Chase: “Trust me Lucas, I know what I’m doing!” Below them Shade and Jason met face to face while Regigigas and Dialga survived the Explosion attack while Slacking was KO'd. Dragonite managed to get behind Butterfree's Barrier in time to avoid damage.. Brad took his cartridge ball out of his pocket.
Brad: “I’m ready to finish what Chase started. Return Slacking and go Deoxys!” Slacking returns to Brad’s Emerald game and Deoxys comes out ball and levitates next to Brad.
Amy: “Shall we finish this once and for all?”
Brad: “Let’s. Deoxys, transform into your attack form and use Super Power!”
Amy: “Dragonite, use Hyper Beam!”
Vik: “Tyranitar, use Earthquake!” Tyranitar attacked first with its Earthquake. The whole base shock once more. Debris from the ceiling fell from where Tyranitar had used Earthquake before. As the earthquake continued, Dragonite and Deoxys fired their Super Power and Hyper Beam at the same time. Regigigas starts to show signs of weakening. Meanwhile, Jason was too busy with Shade.
Jason: “You know Shade I was ready to make you a partner. You and I together could’ve had the world in the palms of our hands.”
Shade: “Don’t lie to me. You’d just try to brainwash me again, but since I have Darkrai, you can’t brainwash me forever. Darkrai, Make sure that Dialga doesn’t wake up for a while. Use Night Shade on it right now!” Darkrai fires a beam of darkness at Dialga that zaps away some of Dialga’s health.
Jason: “I know when I’m defeated. Dialga, Regigigas, return!”
Shade: “Oh no you don’t, I’m in control now! Ariados, destroy this Elite ball!” Ariados levitates it with its Psychic attack and then uses a Signal Beam to Damage it, followed by a Night Shade attack and the Elite ball is destroyed along with the Pokemon Diamond game within it. Dialga awaken and start roaring with extreme rage. Regigigas also starts acting out of control. This breaks Gengar’s concentration with its Dream Eater attack. Chase flies down toward the others on the ground.
Chase: “What’s going on?”
Brad: “I don’t know. Those two Team Chaos guys did something with a pokeball.”
Jason: “Shade you fool! You just made Regigigas and Dialga wild pokemon! Now there’s no telling what can happen, especially if Dialga’s powers of time get out of control!” Chase and the Rockets heard this as well. Dialga’s powers start to effect the base. The clocks on the wall start to slow down. Soon Lucas, Zach, and Katie catch up to Chase and the Rockets on Fearow and Ponyta.
Brad: “Chase, it’s getting too dangerous here. We need to defeat Dialga and Regigigas here and now!”
Chase: “Lucas, here. Take your brother and leave! You, Zach and Katie need to make it out of here whilie you still can! Gengar, go with the kids and AJ and make sure you erase the effects of Dark Hall and Hypnosis once you’re a safe distance from here!”
Lucas: “We can’t leave.” Gengar takes AJ in its arms.
Chase: “Just go, it’s too dangerous! Your mom told us that she didn’t want you to get hurt! Leaving is the best thing you can do. Once you’re a safe distance from here try to help AJ remember who he really is!” Dialga roars fiercely again and activates its Time Roar which hits Deoxys and Dragonite. They both become frozen in time.
Katie: “Let’s just go. Ponyta, let’s get out of here with Agility!”
Zach: “Follow Ponyta, Fearow!” The kids leave with Gengar and the unconscious AJ. Now it was down to Shade and Jason against Chase, Vik, Brad, and Amy.

Wow, this chapter especially would make a great TV cartoon episode! I can just envision the roof scene with the Armstrong family where the Team Rocket crew fly in. And then when Vik and Tyranitar crashes thru the roof, and Chase showing up with Metagross using Hyperbeam out of no-where--. . . . tons of action!
 
Delayed and sequel news

Hey everyone.
I got sick last week and had to catch up on so many missed assignments and other stuff. Typing new chapters is my last priority for now. That said, there will be no more new chapters until Spring Break. I'm hoping to post the last 4 chapters by the end of Spring Break and start working on the sequel in April.

EDIT: Oh yeah, since the english names were revealed I've edited all the 4th gen pokemon names in all the chapters they've appeared in. Personally, I think the story kinda sounded better with the Japanese names in.

Chapter 25: The Last Stand​

Zach, Katie, and Lucas quickly evacuated the base and headed back into the metallic forest. Once they were about half a mile away from the base, they stopped. Lucas, Zach, and Ralts all climb off of Fearow while Gengar laid AJ down on the ground. Lucas took a close look at his brother still dressed in his blue Team Chaos admin suit. The electronic gadgets were all offline.
Katie: “What do we do now?”
Zach: “We’ll, Chase is the only one who knows the way back home, so we have to wait for him.”
Lucas: “Ralts, can you help me make my brother remember again?” Ralts activated its Synchronize ability again.
Ralts (telepathically): Let’s do it. Lucas concentrates for a moments and tries to remember all the good time she had with AJ. AJ just lies their and starts to envision what Lucas was thinking. Gengar then uses Dream Eater to filter out anything in AJ’s mind that had to do with Team Chaos. Then a rustling sound is heard. Lucas stops concentrating.
Lucas: “What was that?”
Zach: “I don’t know. Were we followed?” Zach got his answer when two TC grunts appeared.
Katie: “What do you guys want?” One of them removes her hat and lets her long hair fall out.
Female TC grunt: “You should be able to tell that I’m a girl, you little pipsqueak.” The other TC grunt clutches a pokeball in his hand.
Male TC grunt: “Master Skyler will be coming with us now. I choose Spiritomb.” Spiritomb emerges out of the pokeball. Zach, Katie, and Lucas were creeped out by its appearance. Lucas was the first to get over his nervousness.
Lucas: “Leave us alone. My brother is not your master anymore! Spiny, one more battle, let’s do it!” Lucas throws his pokeball and Spiny appears but it is tired out from all of its previous battles.
Lucas: “I know you’re tired, but we really need your help.”
Katie: “You need my help too, Pachrisu help us out.” Pachrisu came out of its pokeball as well.
Female TC grunt: “You kiddies want a double battle? Fine then, go Crobat!” Crobat flies out of the pokeball she throws.
Katie: “Pachrisu, use Swift!” Pachrisu shoots stars at both Crobat and Spiritomb. Crobat is hit but the stars go right through Spiritomb.
Male TC grunt: “You kids are way in over your heads. Spiritomb, use Ominous Wind!” Spiritomb summons a dark wind that howls as it blows. Ominous Wind hits Spiny pretty hard and leaves it more tired out than ever.
Female TC grunt: “Follow up that Ominous Wind with Air Cutter!” Crobat fires what seems like blades made out of the wind itself. Spiny is KO’d by the attack and Pachrisu is hit with as well.
Lucas: “Spiny Return. Great, now what do I do?” Meanwhile, Chase, Vik, Brad, and Amy had their hands full with a rampaging Dialga and Regigigas. With Deoxys and Dragonite frozen in time, there wasn’t much to battle with, just Vik’s Tyranitar.
Chase: “We can still do this. Groudon, you’re on!” Groudon appears from Chase’s Emerald game in his cartridge ball and changes the weather to bright and sunny.
Vik: “Tyranitar, use Rockslide on the both of them!” Tyranitar rocks the whole base and uses debris from the ceiling as its Rock Slide attack which crashes all over Dialga and Regigigas. Both of them shake off the attack.
Chase: “Groudon, use Eruption!” Groudon stomps its foot on the ground and cracks with lava appear. Then it roars and a small eruption covers Dialga and Regigigas with magma. When Dialga shakes off the magma, Chase and the rockets had to avoid getting any third degree burns.
Brad: “Chase, try using a much less dangerous-toward-humans attacks.” One of the droplets of magma flew all the way to Gwen’s Miltank. Miltank awakens from the intense heat. Not long after waking up and trying to cool itself down Miltank uses its Heal Bell to cure its burn along with awakening Gwen and Flareon from Dark Hall’s effect. Miltank’s Heal Bell also sets Dragonite and Deoxys free from Roar of Time's effect.
Brad: “Hey Deoxys, can you still battle?” Deoxys hovers toward Brad and confirms that it’s ready for round 2. Gwen comes to her senses and uses a nearby elevator lift to head to the ground floor with her Flareon and Miltank at her side. She spots Shade and Jason trying to make a run for it.
Gwen: “Stop them with Fire Spin, Flareon.” Flareon manages to create a barricade of flames and Jason and Shade stop in their tracks. Chase and the Rockets see what was going on, but they were too busy with the two legendary pokemon in front of them.
Chase: “Groudon, try a Solarbeam on Regigigas!”
Amy: “Team up with Groudon with your Ice Beam, Dragonite!” The two beams are instantly fired at Regigigas. Regigigas then uses a Giga Attack and deflects the beams. The beams Regigigas deflected head toward a doorway where Shade and Jason were headed. The doorway collapses and now they couldn’t escape through that route. Gwen catches up to them.
Gwen: “And where do you gentlemen think you’re going?” Jason chuckles softly.
Jason: “Well, well, well, looks like I’m trapped. He he he, I’m no too worried.”
Shade: “You should be. I’ve destroyed your Elite Ball. There’s not much you can do.” Jason takes a Master Ball out of his pocket.
Jason: “I can do this, go Master Ball!” The Master Ball was originally aimed at Dialga when Jason threw it, but at that same moment, Deoxys was attacking Regigigas.
Brad: “Now Finish it with Super Power!” Deoxys transforms into its Attack Form and then hits Regigigas with a powerful blow. Regigigas falls on it’s back and into the path of the Master Ball and accidentally gets captured.
Jason: “No, my time ticket out of here.”
Shade: “Looks like you’re done, master. Ariados, tie him up with String Shot!”
Jason: “Not so fast. I still have my cartridge ball. Go Hypno, use Psychic!” Hypno appears and uses Psychic to finish off Shade’s Ariados. Shade recalls his fallen friend.”
Gwen: “Use Overheat Flareon!” Flareon fires it’s Overheat attack at Hypno and hits it at full power. Hypno is left with very little energy. Right after that, Dialga begins to use Time Roar again. Although it doesn’t hit anything again, Dialga’s power begins to affect every one around them. Everyone inside the base couldn’t feel time literally slowing down around them. Each second in the base was like a minute outside the base where time was flowing normally. Right outside the base, Lucas and Katie had their hands full with another battle.
Male TC grunt: “Spiritomb, use Ominous wind to finish them off!” The Eerie wind blows and hits Pachrisu. Not only that, but it also blows toward Lucas, Katie, AJ, and Gengar where they feel the effects of Eerie Wind. Lucas becomes a bit scared and nervous. Katie starts to shiver from feeling cold and a bit scared. The Eerie wind also effects AJ since he wasn’t done have his memory erased from Dream Eater. Gengar gets a grip and takes Spiny’s place in battle. It fires a Shadow Ball at Spiritomb and stops its attack.
Female TC Grunt: “Oh yeah, I’ll show you who’s really frightening. Crobat, use Dark Pulse attack!” Gengar is hit by the super effective attack and falls to the ground.
Lucas: “Gengar no! We need you to cure my brother.”
Katie: “Come on Pachrisu, use Discharge!”
Zach: “Katie wait!” It was too late as Pachrisu launched its Discharge attack and hits everyone including AJ, Zach, and Fearow. The electric blast leaves Spiritomb Paralyzed and Crobat with low health. Gengar is left even weaker then before as it struggles to get levitating back in the air.
Zach: “Did you forget that attack hits all of us!”
Katie: “Sorry.”
Lucas: “Gengar, use Dream Eater.” Gengar looks at Lucas and shrugs while shaking its head.
Lucas: “What’s wrong?”
Female: “Silly child. You should know that Dream Eater won’t work unless there’s someone asleep or under the effects of Hypnosis. Now Crobat, Finish Gengar with another Dark Pulse!” Crobat fires its Dark Pulse attack but Gengar counters with an equally powerful Shadow Ball and cancels out the attack.
Male TC grunt: “Spiritomb, use Sucker Punch on Gengar.”
Katie: “Try to protect Gengar with Spark, Pachrisu!”
Female TC grunt: “Not so fast, Crobat, use Hypnosis!” Crobat suddenly appears in front of Pachrisu and gets it in a trance. Spiritomb’s Sucker Punch attack makes contact with Gengar but Gengar manages to hang on by using Dream Eater on Pachrisu and using Pachrisu’s trance as energy to survive the attack. Pachrisu then reawakens from the Hypnosis spell.
Male TC grunt: “Now use Ominous Wind.”
Female TC grunt: “Use Hypnosis on Skyler. Make sure he remembers who he needs to be!” Crobat and Spiritomb focus their attacks on AJ. AJ awakens and starts screaming from the nightmares he begins to have. The Ominous wind also blows around Lucas and Katie frightening them as well.
Zach: “Fearow, stop them with Tri Attack!” Fearow fires three beams and they hit Crobat but Spiritomb continues its assault. Ralts then appears in front of AJ and uses it’s body as a shield to protect AJ. It also gives out a cry in pain. Lucas hears this and snaps out of his fears.
Lucas: “Ralts no! We need your help too. Get out of there!” Ralts just stays there and keeps having its health drained by Ominous Wind.
Katie: “Pachrisu, help Ralts anyway you can. Distract Spiritomb.” Pachrisu walks over to Spiritomb and uses a Sweet Kiss attack. Spiritomb stops its attack and becomes confused. Lucas runs over to Ralts who has fallen to the ground.
Lucas: “Ralts, you ok?” Ralts looks up at Lucas and nods. Lucas can that Ralts is pretty weak once again.
Female TC grunt: “Now’s out chance Crobat! Air Cutter on Ralts and that kid!” Lucas hears the command but there’s nothing he can do while sitting on his knees. Ralts summons the last of its energy and uses Teleport to avoid the attack. Gengar then counter with another Shadow Ball and hits Crobat.
Male TC Grunt: “Spiritomb, use another Ominous Wind!” Spiritomb just shakes hits head around in confusion, unable to attack properly.
Katie: “Pachrisu, use Spark to end this!”
Female TC Grunt: “Oh no you don’t! Crobat, use Cross Poison on Pachrisu!” Crobat’s four wings glow a bright purple as it heads toward Pachrisu. Pachrisu uses its Spark attack on Crobat and both pokemon are hit and KO’d.
Zach: “Wow, it’s a draw. Who knew?” Pachrisu and Crobat are recalled back into their pokeballs. The Male TC Grunt isn’t too worried.
Male TC grunt: “Snap out of it, Spiritomb! I need another Ominous Wind on Skyler!” Spiritomb finally comes to its senses and attacks once again. Ralts Teleports in front of AJ again and takes the hit. Spiritomb stops the attack since it was paralyzed.
Lucas: “Ralts, I just wish you could do more, but you need to rest now.” Ralts just stands there for a bit and then starts to glow. It changes form right in front of Lucas. Katie and Zach also watch in amazement as the two TC grunt are a bit alarmed that the Ralts that seemed too weak to attack found the energy to evolve. Soon Ralts stops glowing and has become a Kirlia.
Zach: “Did Ralts just evolve into a Martian ballerina?” Kirlia uses its Synchronize ability and talks to all three of the kids at once.
Kirlia (telepathically): Thanks to all three of you, I have gained the energy I needed to evolve and your wish has now come true Lucas. And no Zach, I’m not a Martian ballerina. Now Gengar, let’s finish this. Kirlia uses a Disable attack and combines it with Spiritomb’s paralysis making it impossible for Spiritomb to move. Then Gengar uses a Shadow Ball once again and finishes Spiritomb. The Male TC grunt has no choice but to call it back. The two TC grunts decide to flee.
Zach: “We showed those two.”
Lucas: “What do you mean we? You didn’t do much.”
Zach: “Fearow used a Tri Attack while they attacked your brother.”
Katie: “Zach, you’re always being so lazy and sneaky.” While the three children began to argue, Kirlia and Gengar began to work on AJ. Gengar uses its own Hypnosis to put AJ back to sleep and then uses Dream Eater to clear his mind. Back inside the base, Chase, Vik, and the Rockets were trying to put a stop to Dialga.
Brad: “Deoxys, use another Super Power attack!” Before Deoxys can launch its attack, Dialga fires a laser at it and Deoxys didn’t have enough time to react and change to its Defense form. The Luster Cannon attack Dialga just used KO’s Deoxys and Brad is forced to call it back into its Cartridge Ball. Jason’s plan was working to a certain extent. Since his Master ball accidentally captured the Regigigas, he waited for Chase to weaken Dialga so he could capture it in a regular pokeball. Shade and Gwen made it easy for him to stay around.
Jason: “Gwen, do you honestly think you can stop me? I’m practically invincible. Celebi, use Perish Song now!” Jason threw his cartridge ball again and it begins singing a horrid tune. All pokemon inside the base begin to grow weaker and weaker.
Gwen (Shouting toward Chase): “You guys better hurry, the longer Celebi uses Perish Song, the weaker all of your pokemon get until they’re all KO’d!”
Chase: “Groudon, hurry and use Overhear on Dialga!”
Vik: “Tyranitar, use Earthquake. Focus the tremors jus underneath Dialga!”
Amy: “Dragonite, aim and Ice Beam at Celebi and stop that song!” Groudon hits Dialga with powerful flames and Tyranitar manages to make the ground beneath Dialga shake and soon spikes shoot up and hit Dialga hard. Dialga falls to the ground and its powers over time begin to ware off on the base. Jason sees this then see the Ice Beam headed toward him.
Jason: “Hypno, deflect the Ice Beam with Psychic!”
Shade: “Darkrai, use Dark Pulse on Hypno!” Darkrai’s attack hits first and Then the Ice Beam has Celebi frozen in a block of ice and the Perish Song is stopped. Jason doesn’t hesitate one bit. He throws another pokeball and it captures Dialga.
Jason: “My pokemon are back where they belong. I thank you and your friends, Chase and Vik, for doing the hard part for me.” He runs over to grab the pokeball. Chase thinks quickly and then gets an idea.
Chase: “Groudon, use Eruption. Bury that pokeball in lava!” Groudon jabs it’s claw into the ground near where the pokeball containing Dialga laid. Lava bubbles up and surrounds pokeball in magma. Soon the crack grow and swallows up the pokeball. Dialga was gone along with Jason’s backup plan.
Jason: “Noooo! I will make you pay for this Chase! You haven’t seen the last of me. You forget, I have two Celebies. Back to the future, let’s go!” Jason throws his cartridge ball and the second Celebi appears and opens a portal. Jason and his second Celebi travel through it. Shade and Darkrai wouldn’t let him get away that easily. They follow Jason into the portal. Then it closes up.
Chase: “Darn it! I can’t believe he got away that easily!” Gwen approaches the group. Chase still wonder if she was a friend of a foe after everything that has happened in one day.
Gwen: “Destroy this base, take the kids and Skyler, and then never come back.”
Chase: “What will happen to you?”
Gwen: “You take care of your friends. You’ve all been through enough. I’ll follow Shade and Jason through time. I know where he’d go. Flareon, Miltank, return.”
Brad: “So that’s it? The bad guy gets away and we pretend that everything’s ok?”
Vik: “I expected more out of Team Chaos.”
Gwen: “You guys are the heroes right? Jason said so himself that he’d be back. I’ll come back when the time is right.” Gwen walks out. As she leaves the base she reminds Chase to destroy the base with his Groudon. Brad has all the Rockets evacuate. All of the TC grunts have already fled since they knew that the base was no more. Once every one was on a flying type pokemon, Chase gave Groudon the necessary command.
Chase: “Now Groudon, use-” Lucas, Zach and Katie scream and Chase loses his focus. He tells his Rayquaza that he was riding to head in the direction the scream came from. When he gets there, a mysterious character whom no one has met before was using a Shiny Spiritomb to hypnotize AJ.
Chase: “Hey, I’ve just about had enough of this! Rayquaza, use Dragon Claw on that shiny Spiritomb!” Rayquaza flies in and it’s Dragon Claw goes right through Spiritomb. Chase takes a closer look and realizes that not only the Spiritomb and the mysterious character wearing a cloak to mask his identity were holograms. Even AJ and the kids were holograms. The metallic trees had projectors hidden in them. Soon a voice Chase has never heard before speakers. As the speakers turn on, the projects turn off and everyone dissapears.
Xero: “My name is Xero, spelled with an ‘X’ instead of a ‘Z.’ Can you say, distraction?” The voice chuckles evilly and then the speakers switch off. Then Chase’s cell phone begins to ring.
Vik: “Chase, get back to the base. Something really weird is going on. You need to see this.” Chase hangs up and then heads to the base. Who was Xero and what did he want with Chase and AJ? Chase wondered if Xero was connected with Jason. With Dialga slowing down time inside the base, there was no telling how much time had past outside the base while he battled Dialga. What could've happened to the kids and AJ? Chase was more worried than ever.

Nice chapter, and you just keep on adding ideas for chapters don't you?
didn't you originaly say that it was going to be 24 chapters?
 
That was the original plan, but when you type a story right off the top of your head things get out of hand and somethimes I just add in more chapter. I promise, just 3 more chapters, and then we move onto the sequel where you, the readers, can join in on the fun. And due to circumstances beyond my control, chapters will be posted much slower than I hoped. Expect the next chapter(s) to be posted within the week of April 7-13.
~Cyber~

EDIT: The english names for attacks were recently revealed. I've already edited them into previous chapters. Thus delaying new chapters even longer. Again, I'm more comfortable with the japanese attack names but I'll move on anyway. Time Roar > Roar of Time.

Well it will help when DP comes in...
I hate most of these attack names...

I can't wait for the next chapter!
 
Chatpers 26 & 27

Well as this story comes to a close it opens the door to the sequel. Feel free to leave anykind of feedback you have as it helps me figure out how to make the sequel better than the original. Don't be shy, just post any feedback you wish.

Chapter 26: Anything but Normal​

It was just one problem after another at Team Chaos’s base. Chase wondered who the Xero character was as he hurried back to the base with his Rayquaza. To his surprise, the base is empty and no one was inside. Chase turns to Vik.
Chase: “What’s going on?”
Vik: “Some weird guy showed up with your friend AJ and the kids held hostage by ghost pokemon. He even had a shiny Spiritomb.”
Amy: “Brad followed that shady character but he hasn’t came back yet nor has there been any sounds of pokemon battling.” Chase flew down on his Rayquaza and back into the base. It was eerily quiet inside the base. Chase knew how to solve the problem easily. He recalled his Rayquaza and switched his Emerald game with his FireRed game.
Chase: “Arcanine, let’s go!” Arcanine appears and Amy and Vik fly down on their Pidgeot and Zapdos.
Amy: “I know what you’re up to. Here, I have one of Brad’s pokeballs right here.”
Chase: “Arcanine, pick up Brad’s scent from that pokeball and see if you can find him.”
Vik: "The only way this won’t work is if the smell of Amy’s makeup hasn’t rubbed off onto it.” Arcanine sniffs the pokeball and then starts sniffing around the base and eventually picks up the scent. Chase climbs aboard his fateful pokemon and rides down a hallway. Arcanine stops in the middle of the hallway and points at the wall.
Vik: “You don’t think that shady character used his pokemon to pass through this concrete wall, do you?”
Chase: “Arcanine, are you sure Brad went through here?” Just then a voice is projected on the base’s intercom system.
Xero: “I must say, I’m impressed with the way you used your pokemon Chase.” The intercoms shut off and then the wall comes down revealing a secrete passage. It was dark inside the new hall way, so Chase had his Arcanine breathe fire as they headed in. Soon they came to a secrete room where AJ, Zach, Katie, and Lucas all laid tied up and their mouths taped shut. AJ was the only one who was unconscious. Chase, Amy, and Vik rushed over to untie everyone.
Chase: “Don’t worry Lucas, I’ll get us out of here.” He removes the tape off of Lucas’ mouth.
Lucas: “What took you so long Chase? I haven’t seen you in two days.”
Vik: “How’s it been two days? That battle with Dialga only lasted about 20 minutes.”
Chase: “I think Dialga’s powers over time may have caused us to miss 2 days.”
Katie: “While we were waiting this guy came and took Gengar and Kirlia.”
Zach: “His weird Spiritomb did something to AJ. It used Hypnosis and then an Ominous Wind attack on him.” Chase went over to AJ to untie him. Then he tried to wake him up.
Chase: “AJ! AJ, wake up. It’s me, Chase. Come on!”
Amy: “Hey, where’s Brad?”
Lucas: “He was here a moment ago but the ghost pokemon took him away.”
Amy: “Away to where?”
Xero: “He’s with me now, Amy.” Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from and Brad was tied up as well. Chase’s Gengar and the Kirlia that Lucas befriended were with him as well, but a Mismagius and Dusknoir were holding them all hostage.
Chase: “Oh, I’m tired of being the good guy. When is it the part when everything goes back to normal?”
Xero: “Never. You’ve already done too much Chase. Just have everyone hand over their cartridge ball and I’ll let you all go and restore AJ’s memory.”
Chase: “Not going to happen, and just who are you anyway.”
Xero: “In the future, I’m known as Xero. I was a Team Chaos admin but I quit that group since they all didn’t know what they were doing. Like your friend Shade, I’m going on my own terms, but I need more cartridge balls to completely eradicate them from my time. So hand them over already. Don’t forget, I’m offering you a bonus then just sparing your friends here. If you agree I’ll also restore your friend’s memory here.” Lucas realizes that there still was hope for his brother. He takes his two pokeballs
Vik: “Chase already said he won’t go with your deal.”
Lucas: “Xero, you can have all of my pokemon if you cure my brother.”
Xero: “Sorry kid, Chase is calling the shots here.”
Lucas: “Chase, please cure my brother.” Kirlia silently activates its Synchronize ability and tries hard not to let the ghost pokemon notice what it was doing.
Kirlia (telepathically): Lucas, Chase, Xero is lying about restoring AJ’s memory. He’ll just take the cartridge balls and leave. The only thing that he said that’s true is that he doesn’t work for Team Chaos. This makes Chase’s decision a lot easier but Lucas just immediately throws his two pokeballs.
Lucas: “You liar! Machop and Spiny, come on out!” Lucas’ only two pokemon come out of their pokeballs.
Xero: “How did you know I was lying? Huh, that Kirlia. Mismagius, use Shadow Ball on it!” Mismagius Immediately fires a Shadow Ball and Kirlia is sent flying to the other side of the room. Gengar then uses this as a moment of opportunity and uses a Shadow Ball of it’s own at Mismagius. Dusknoir then attacks Gengar with a Shadow Punch. Chase catches onto what his Gengar was up to.
Xero: “You pesky Gengar. Mismagius, use Ominous Wind and Dusknoir, another Shadow Punch!”
Chase: “Time to take them both down Gengar! Let’s do it with Destiny Bond!” Gengar surrounds itself in a shadowy aura and Mismagius’ Shadow Ball KO’s it while the Shadow Punch hits Spiny. Mismagius is taken by Gengar’s Destiny Bond and loses all of its health. After the attack drains both Gengar and Mismagius of all of their energy, they are both recalled into their pokeballs. The only difference was that Xero had an Elite ball that instantly head Mismagius.
Lucas: “Spiny, use Iron Tail. Machop, Karate Chop!” Spiny Hits Dusknoir with Iron Tail first but Machop just goes right through Dusknoir.
Xero: “Silly child. Now you will pay, and I know just how to do it. Dusknoir, lay a Curse on Skyler!” Dusknoir disappears and then reappears where AJ was lying down.
Chase: “Quick Arcanine, use Crunch!” Arcanine rushes in and then attacks Dusknoir before it has enough time to use its Curse attack. Xero responds by throwing his Elite Ball.
Xero: “Go DoomBringer!” The shiny Spiritomb appears in the flesh. Chase Figured that Xero nicknamed it DoomBringer.
Xero: “Now use Water Pulse on that pesky Arcanine.” DoomBringer fires a few water rings at Arcanine which hit and caused it to become confused.
Chase: “Arcanine, snap out of it.”
Vik: “Zapdos, use Thunder Wave on Dusknoir!” Zapdos fires an electric bolt at Dusknoir and paralyzes it.
Amy: “Pidgeot, use Aerial Ace on that shiny Spiritomb!” Pidgeot flies at high spped and then strikes DoomBringer. Dusknoir soon recovers from Arcanine’s attack and its paralysis and begins its Curse attack. Lucas catches it trying to attack but his pokemon were too far away to get close enough to attack on time.
Lucas: “Somebody help my brother!” Dusknoir has a black aura surround the small area that its in. Just then, it’s Kirlia to the rescue once more and it receives the curse.
Kirlia (telepathicall): Lucas, Chase, and friends, leave now while you still can! Destroy this base like Gwen told you Chase!
Lucas: “No Kirlia, I can’t leave you here. Let me capture you and then we’ll go home together!”
Xero: “That Kirlia’s at it again. DoomBringer, Shadow Sneak!” Xero’s shiny Spiritomb disappears and then reappears where Kirlia is and attacks.
Chase: “Arcanine, use Flamethrower!” Arcanine catches Xero’s two pokemon in flames. Kirlai quickly recovers and knows what it has to do.
Kirlia (Telepathically): You need to leave and destroy this base now! Kirlia has it’s eyes and whole body glow blue and uses it Teleport with all of its energy. Everyone disappears except Xero, his pokemon, and itself.
Xero: “Big mistake Kirlia. Once I’m through with you, finding your friends will be a piece of cake.” Meanwhile, everyone else has reappeared back in the main room of the base where the other Rockets and Chase’s Groudon were waiting patiently. AJ and Brad were both still unconscious. Lucas panicked for a moment.
Lucas: “What happened? Where is Kirlia and what about my brother?”
Chase: “Kirlia just sacrificed itself, didn’t it?”
Amy: “Chase, focus. We gotta do what Gwen and Kirlia told us to do before Xero catches up to us.” Brad begins to wake up at that moment. His Skarmory flies down and lands next to him.
Brad: “What’s going on?”
Amy: “You might want to climb aboard your Skarmory so we can leave. Our mission is just about over Brad.”
Vik: “You ready Chase?” Vik was also boarding his Rayquaza and Chase got on his own as well with Lucas while Katie and Zach flew away on Fearow. AJ, who was still unconscious, was being carried in Chase’s Rayquaza’s claws. Once everyone was a safe distance away from Groudon Chase gave the final order.
Chase: “Destroy this base with Eruption, Groudon. Make sure that no one will ever stay here or use it again!”
Lucas: “What about Kirlia? We can’t wreck the base if it’s still inside.” It was too late as Groudon caused a huge Eruption that shook the entire area. Lava bursts trough the cracks in the ground from where Groudon had used Eruption before. Soon there’s enough lava to flow through the hallways of the base.
Chase: “Well, it looks like that’s the end of that.”
Zach: “Lucas, Chase, what happened to Kirlia?”
Chase: “Oh, shoot.”
Lucas: “Did Kirlia die?”
Amy: “Don’t worry, I’m sure Kirlia teleported away in time.”
Lucas: “I never got a chance to capture it.” Groudon lets out another roar and Chase looks below from his Rayquaza and sees that Xero’s Mismagius was pestering his Groudon with a Psywave attack.
Chase: “Groudon, just keep up the Eruption!” Groudon makes a fountain of magma burst from the ground and Mismagius is caught in it and then swallowed by the river of lava inside the base. Chase then recalls his Groudon and let Vik finish the Job.
Vik: “Use Ice Beam to on all of that lava!” His Rayquaza fires an Ice Beam and stops the lava flows and the base looked nothing more than a miniature mountain with a building encased inside it.
Brad: “Good job Vik. I doubt Team Chaos will ever come back to our time. Now Rockets, let’s head home!” Brad, Amy, and the other Rockets began heading back home. Vik stayed behind for a moment.
Vik: “What about you? You’re heading home too?”
Chase: “Yeah, but I’m a little worried about AJ. He’s still unconscious.” Vik and his parents who’ve been waiting 2 days for the kids’ returns began to pick up speed on their Rayquaza.
Mr. Armstrong: “Well, we need to head home but you can stop by anytime.”
Chase: “Thanks.” Vik has his Rayquaza use Extremespeed while Chase has his own Rayquaza fly at the same speed at Zach’s Fearow. Chase helped his Rayquaza lift AJ onto his back.
Lucas: “Chase, why isn’t my brother waking up yet?”
Chase: “I don’t know. He’s been hypnotized for quite a while now.” Lucas tries to shake his brother to awaken him. Zach and Katie watch from their Fearow with sorrow. Chase decided to get him and the kids back home as soon as possible.
Lucas: “AJ, wake up. AJ? (echoing) A…. J…..!”

Chapter 27: One Less Noble Trainer​

It was the next day and Chase was in Salem Hospital with Lucas and the Beltrans. AJ had been unconscious for 3 days strait. The only things the doctors had said that it was possible AJ had been put into a coma. Mrs. Beltran and Lucas were pretty nervous as they waited in the waiting room.
Mr. Beltran: “You know Chase, you didn’t have to come here and wait with us.”
Chase: “But AJ is my best friend. I needed to come and see what happened.” Lucas sat silently holding his two pokeballs in his hands. The receptionist pointed out that no pets were allowed inside so Chase had to make sure that Lucas wouldn’t release his pokemon. Zach and Katie were also there since their parents were still back the Spirit Mountain Casino for Spring Break. They were also quiet and anxious about the teenager they’ve helped to rescue. Soon a doctor came into the waiting room.
Doctor: “Mr. and Mrs. Beltran, I presume.”
Mr. Beltran: “Yes, that’s us.” Just by looking at the doctor’s face Chase and the Beltrans could tell that he didn’t have any good news.
Doctor: “The CAT scan on your son is complete. I’m amazed at how much mental stress your son has gone through. He should be nearly brain dead. The best news I have for you is that your son has manage to regain consciousness.” There was some relief laid upon Chase and the kids but the Beltrans were still a bit anxious.
Mrs. Beltran: “And the bad news?”
Doctor: “Well, you son has also suffered quite an amount of memory loss. In other words, AJ has a bad case of amnesia.”
Lucas: “What does that mean?”
Mr. Beltran: “It means that AJ won’t remember anything Lucas, not even you, Chase, or us. How could he have lost his memory?” That question causes Chase to have a flashback of the past couple of days.
Chase: “It’s my fault.” The Beltrans and the doctor stare at Chase with some shock.
Mrs. Beltran: “What do you mean? How can this be your fault?”
Chase: “Well, maybe it’s not all my fault, but I’ve used Dream Eater on AJ a number of times to erase the effects of all the brainwashing he’s had.”
Lucas: “It’s not all your fault Chase. Some of the bad guys also attack AJ with different mind tricks.”
Katie: “I remember one of the bad guys using a scary wind attack on AJ and it messed up his mind.” Then Chase remembered what Xero had said.
Xero (in chase’s memory): I’ll restore your friend’s memory if you have everyone hand over their cartridge balls.
Chase: “Well, it’s too late now.” Chase makes a fist with his right hand and squeezes the frustration out of him.
Mr. Beltran: “May we see our son?”
Doctor: “Yes. Just the parents, follow me.”
Mrs. Beltran: “Chase, wait here with the kids.” The Beltrans leave the waiting room. Chase waits there in silence. Lucas, Zach and Katie remained quiet for the rest of their stay. It was about 15 minutes before the Beltrans came back.
Lucas: “What’s happening to AJ?”
Mr. Beltran: “They’re going to keep AJ here overnight to keep an eye on him. Maybe he’ll come home tomorrow.” Lucas was bummed out again. His two friends Zach and Katie try to make him feel better.
Mrs. Beltran: “Chase thanks for everything you’ve done for us. Rescuing AJ may not have worked out like we have hoped, but at least he’s back home where he belongs. I’ll call you if AJ comes home tomorrow.” Chase prepares to leave and clutches his FireRed game in his hand.
Chase: “No problem. You all have a nice night. See you later, Lucas.” Chase leaves the hospital and then releases his Arcanine and rides it home.

Two days later, Chase headed back to the Beltran's house since AJ had returned home. He didn’t know what to expect as he rode his Arcanine through the neighborhoods. It wasn’t long before he arrived there. As he recalled Arcanine back into his FireRed game, he hears Lucas playing and laughing in the back yard. Zach and Katie went home the night beofre, so it was just AJ and Lucas who were jumping on the trampoline in the backyard. Chase quietly sneaks around the house and into the backyard.
Lucas: “See big bro. We used to have so much fun together. Do you remember now?”
AJ: “Not really, but it does feel like I’ve done this before.” Chase sneaks around in the house and tries not to let the two brothers notice him. Once he thought he was close enough, he decides to shout a familiar call.
Chase: (shouting): “Beltran!” Chase catches Lucas by surprise but AJ just stops jumping and takes a moment to inspect his old friend.
Lucas: “Chase, why’d you scare us?”
AJ: “Lucas, you know him?” Chase takes his shoes off and climbs aboard the trampoline.
Chase: “Of course he knows me. I’m your best friend and I’d visit here often. Come on, don’t’ you remember Pokemon League, all those tournaments we went to, or what about all those time we rode our bikes around town?” AJ was unable to recall any of that.
AJ: “Doesn’t ring any bells.” Chase pulls out a wallet sized picture from his back pocket.
Chase: “You gotta remember this. This is us in Middle school on that one field day when Principal Honey was in the dunk tank. One of our best moments since you were the first to dunk the principal.” AJ looks at the 3 year old photo. It was him and Chase with a dunk tank in the background.
AJ: “So I guess you are my friend. That’s cool. Anything else I should know?”
Chase: “When we were best friends, your brother Lucas here thought I was a meanie since we always did pokemon stuff without him.”
AJ: “So I suppose we had more friends that did pokemon stuff with us.”
Chase: “23 months is plenty of time for players to come and go. Maybe I should take you to League tomorrow. How about I show you this?”
Lucas: "At least all the bad guys are gone. They were hard to beat."
AJ: "What bad guys?"
Chase: "Well, you were one of them. THey formed a group called Team Chaos and they lived up to their name. They kidnapped and brainwashed you. Their admins, Gwen, Shade, and Jason, tried to get rid of us. You even kidnapped your own brohter while you were still hypnotized." AJ looks down at the ground, barely able to believe most fo the stuff Chase was saying.
Lucas: "Chase, do you think those bad guys will ever come back?"
Chase: "I hope not, but since Jason escaped and that Xero character found us, there's not telling for sure."
AJ: "So what did Team Chaos do?"
Chase: "They used these things to try to take over the world. Allow me to show you, and hopefully bring back some memories." Chase takes out AJ’s cartridge ball. AJ’s old Sapphire game was in it. The night before Chase had put AJ’s favorite pokemon in his party.
AJ: “What the heck do I do with this?”
Chase: “Just throw it and call out one of your pokemon. Like Salamence, Machamp, or Chato.” AJ was a bit confused. He’d already revisited his gameboy, pokemon card collection, and his old sporting equipment that Lucas reintroduced him to. There was a lot that he had to take in all in one day. He finally decides to throw the cartridge ball.
AJ: “Go Salamence.” To AJ’s surprise, a real live Salamence appears and shocks him. The Salamence recognizes its trainer but AJ is a bit startled by what just happened.
Lucas: “It’s okay big bro, watch. Spiny, Machop, Let’s go!” Lucas’s two pokemon appear on the trampoline and greet themselves with a couple of friendly cries.
AJ: “You have real pokemon too, Lucas?”
Lucas: “Yeah, and they’re real fun to play with. Machop, Spiny, let’s jump.” Lucas begins jumping on the trampoline with his two pokemon. Chase and AJ jump off and AJ takes a closer look at his Salamence. He finally pets it and becomes a bit calmer around the real pokemon.
AJ: “So do you also have real pokemon Chase?”
Chase: “I hope you’ll recognize this one. Nidoking, come on out!” The old AJ knew that Nidoking was Chase’s all time favorite pokemon. Unfortunately, AJ didn’t recognize it as Chase’s favorite.
AJ: “Nice pokemon. So I see Lucas kind of took after you when it comes to pokemon. You know, Nidorino and Nidoking.”
Chase: “I just gave him a baby Nidoran as a gift. Besides he really takes after you. He captured a Machop and Machamp was one of your favorites. He also befriended a Ralts and you thought Ralts was an awesome psychic pokemon. Anyway, that Salamence right there was your favorite pokemon. You also really liked Blaziken and Gyarados.” Again, AJ was finding all of that difficult to take in. With so much that he’d has forgotten, he was beginning to feel a little disbelieve.
Chase: “I know what, let’s have a battle. Just like in the old days were only Ruby and Sapphire were out. The old rivalry of Salamence and Swampert.”
AJ: “A battle, here and now?”
Lucas: “Come on AJ, you can do it. You and Chase battled before using your gameboys.”
Chase: “Yeah let’s do it. Nidoking, return.” Chase recalls his Nidoking and then replaces the FireRed game in his cartridge ball with his Emerald.
AJ: “Alright, get ready Salamence.”
Chase: “There’s the AJ I remember. Swampert, you’re on!” Chase’s Swampert appears and readies itself for battle. Lucas and his two pokemon sit down on the trampoline and decide to watch the battle.
AJ: “Let’s see. Salamence use Dragon Claw!” Salamence closes in on Chase’s Swampert and claws it fiercely.
Chase: “Good memory, AJ.”
AJ: “You think so? I got it off of a pokemon card.” Chase knew that AJ was recalling the attacks from the Salamence cards from the ex Dragon set.
Chase: “Try calling real attacks like this. Swampert use Blizzard!” Swampert fires a Blizzard at Salamence and hits it hard at such a close range. Salamence survives the attack by quickly flying away.
AJ: “Let’s see, Salamence cards had fire and water energies on them. What to use now?”
Lucas: “Your Salamence knows Fire Blast and Hydro Pump, AJ!”
AJ: “Use Hydro Pump, Salamence!”
Chase: “Counter it with Muddy Water, Swampert!” The two pokemon fire their aquatic attack at each other. Soon Salamence overpowers Swampert and Hydro Pump hits it hard.
AJ: “Alright, now use another Dragon Claw!” Salamence swoops in from the air, flies by Swampert, and swipes its orange glowing claw at Swampert.
Chase: “Now let me show you how we battle in the real world. Cover Salamence in Muddy Water, Swampert!” Swampert does just that. Some of the mud covers Salamence’s eyes and it can’t see where it’s flying.
AJ: “Salamence, try another Hydro Pump!” Salamence flies around randomly soaking areas around the house and flying blindly.
Chase: “Sorry AJ, but it looks like I win. Finish this with Blizzard!” With Salamence still soaking wet with dirty water, the Blizzard attack makes Salamence really cold and it comes in for a landing. Soon it is KO’d by the attack and can no longer battle as it before frozen.
AJ: “Return Salamence.” Salamence is recalled back into AJ’s old Sapphire game.
Chase: “So tell me, AJ, any memories coming back?” They wait silently for a moment.
AJ: “I have such a headache. Look Chase, thanks for everything, but right now I need some time alone.”
Chase: “Wait a minute; this is the thanks I get for saving your life and trying to help restore your memory?”
AJ: “I’m not sure what’s real anymore but I need to think on this. Everyone has been yanking my chain all day long. (In a mocking voice) Aj, do you remember this? AJ, how can you forget about whatever I’m talking about? It’s so annoying. Don’t get me wrong, but I’ve had enough for one day.” AJ walks back in to the house. Chase doesn’t bother following him back inside. He recalls his Swampert and switches games in his cartridge ball again.
Lucas: “Do you think my brother is mad?”
Chase: “He needs time to rest his brain. After all, he’s been hypnotized for a long time now. Your mom told me the doctor said AJ wouldn’t get all of his memory back in one day. I’m going home now.” Chase releases his Arcanine and says goodbye to Lucas and AJ. Later that night, Chase received a phone call from the Juarez’s.
Mrs. Beltran: “Chase, I hope I’m not calling too late.”
Chase: “Since it’s Friday of Spring Break, no it’s not too late. What’s going on?”
Mrs. Beltran: “AJ ran away. We can’t find him anywhere.” Chase drops the phone in shock. What could’ve happened that want to make his best friend run away?

Here's something I've been curious about... Pokemon data can be hacked on a cartridge. What would happen if one of those were brought to life...?
 
Well, MegaVelocibot, I honestly don't know. Sounds like a great chapter idea for the sequel though. I've also thought about that cloning glitch in Emerald, but then I decided against it since it would take a freaking miracle for Chase and his frinends to defeat something like an army of shiny Rayquazas. :rolleyes:
 
Yeah. *thinks of Wonder Guard being put on a certain overpowered D/P Pokemon who has also been hacked to be Dark/Ghost type*
 
wow, Lots more battling going on in chapters 25 & 26. I really like the time warp part where the kids have been tied up for 2 days wondering where their friends are. And AJ, he's still a mystery! Will he ever get his memory back? And now he's run away, or HAS he?? I'm left hanging wondering if and when the bad guys will come back to Chase's time zone. I like the fact that Team Rocket in the story is not only the good guys but actually get something accomplished. Keep up the good work CMex!
 
By Ra this is good. I can't wait for the sequel. I have a question though, what did you mean by

then we move onto the sequel where you, the readers, can join in on the fun.

Are we gonna be able to, like, write parts of the story? Sort of like a Roleplay (I hate the stupid makers of this site, it deserves a good RP board.)?
 
Reality. Different TR. It's the name of the TCG Team formed in the Oregon area.

As I've said before, you may have a character based upon yourself appear in the sequel. The sequel will be subtitled Worldwide Interaction for obvious reasons. I will post instructions on how to have an appareance in the sequel later on this month after I post the last chapter. Maybe I'll start a new thread once I get the sequel going.
 
Oh, that sounds sweet. I always did like that. Do you mind if I change the name though, I perfer to keep mine as my deepest darkest secret online, because no matter what you tell a person, you can always change that stuff, but if you reveal your name, then someone could track you to the peak of Mount. Kilamanjaro if they wanted to. Not that anyone would, it's just that the thought unnerves me.
 
Chapter 28

Well, I was never really good at putting stories to an end. Usually for my english assignemtns I just do a cliff hanger. Now, read up and try to see where the sequel goes. If you wish to have an appearance in the sequel, wait a little bit. I'll be posting instructions later on this week. For now, try to figure out your pokemon teams for your character.

Chapter 28: In the Dark of the Night​

It was a half hour past midnight and AJ was nowhere to be found. Chase was riding his Arcanine all over the city not willing to give up yet. He felt really sorry for the Juarez’s, especially AJ. In a few days he’s been hypnotized, had his nightmares brought to life, had a curse laid on him by a Dusknoir, and his Gengar ate his dreams, whatever kinds of effects that would have. Chase returned to the Juarez’s house when Arcanine’s fur bristles up and it begins growling.
Chase: “What is Arcanine? Has another pokemon been released?” Arcanine continues growling and then Chase gets the feeling that a pokemon has appeared somewhere. He has his Arcanine take him to where it sensed the other pokemon. They end up in the woods not too far from the house. It was completely silent in the woods with the exception of the creek’s water running through its path in the middle of the woods. In the moonlight Chase saw a Latios hovering facing someone else hiding in the shadows of the trees.
Chase: “Latios, that’s one of AJ’s favorite pokemon.” Chase took a closer look at the shadowy figure in the tree’s shadow. If the moonlight had shined on the other pokemon Chase would know it was one of the legendary pokemon from Sinnoh, but it quickly flew away and AJ steps out of the shadows instead..
Chase: “What are you doing here, AJ?”
AJ: “Why do you care?” Chase jumps off his Arcanine and takes a few steps closer to AJ and his Latios.
Chase: “I care because we’re friends and I got you into this mess. Now all I want is to get you out of this mess. So what are you doing here in the first place?” AJ stayed silent for a few moments. He looks at his Latios, then looks back at Chase.
AJ: “I heard a voice.”
Chase: “What voice? Was it a pokemon using telepathy to communicate with you?”
AJ: “I’m still not sure.”
Chase: “Why don’t you just head home?” AJ seemed to hesitate for a moment. He wasn’t acting the same way he was when Chase visited earlier that same day.
AJ: “There’s nothing for me there.”
Chase: “What has gotten into your mind?”
AJ: “I have no mind. The only thing that’s still real about me is the act that I’m a pokemon trainer in real life now, but what’s the point if I don’t remember my past?” Chase looks at his cartridge ball and quietly reflects on what happened the past few weeks. From his first battle in his school to rescuing Lucas from a shiny Rayquaza, traveling back in time and ending up having Jason get away, and battling Shade and his Darkrai in the base. Despite the great adventures he had, the cartridge balls have brought him more misery than joy.
Chase: “I’m starting to wish I never got theses dumb things. If they never had existed, we’ve could’ve had a normal life. You wouldn’t have disappeared.” Arcanine and Latios give a few cries. Then without warning, Chase’s Nidoking and Manetric, his two favorite pokemon release themselves from his cartridge ball. AJ’s Salamence also releases itself.
Chase: “On the other hand, I finally get to be a trainer in real life, and I got to be a Hero.”
AJ: “Not me. I just lost my memories, and no one seems to care.” AJ’s Salamence and Latios give a cry, letting him know that they’re aware of his condition and wish him the best. That moment made both Chase and AJ realize something. Even though in the game their pokemon were just data, out in the real world, they were like people, with soul and emotion, just like in the cartoon show.
Chase: “Wow, well, not that many seem to care, but the pokemon sure do. And don’t forget about your family AJ. Lucas seemed to want to help you out a bunch. The past maybe blank for now, but the future awaits.” Chase points to the night sky and AJ with all the pokemon released at that time look up. Just then, shooting stars fly through the sky on cue. That was the strange thing about the night. It could either be your best friend and help you out in mysterious ways, or be your worst enemy and have your imagination get the best of you.
Chase: “Make a wish, AJ.” Chase closes his eyes and makes a wish as well.
AJ (thinking): I wish to regain my memories.
Chase (thinking): I wish to go on another adventure and have the good old AJ by my side this time. The pokemon soon cry out and are looking at the other pokemon floating above them. It was an Uxie. Chase found this strange. He thought that all the Cartridge and Elite balls at the base were destroyed and all the wild pokemon back there were recaptured by his friends and Team Chaos. Then Chase remembered the shadowy figure he saw hiding in the tree.
AJ: “You’re the one who called me here.”
Chase: “What, you ran away because you followed a legendary pokemon?”
Uxie (telepathically): It was I who released your pokemon your games, humans. The both of you are filled with great concern, I’m aware of that. I know you seek answers and they‘ll come in time.
AJ: “Why can’t you give me the answers now?”
Chase: “Yeah, and why’d you make my friend run away like that?” Uxie floats toward AJ and Chase and points its two tails at each of their heads. Then it uses its Future Sight attack and shares it vision with them. Then Chase and AJ see themselves with Lucas in an area they’ve never been to. The follow was what they saw and heard.
Chase: “Glad to see all of that’s over with. What do you say we battle for fun?”
AJ: “You got it. After all, what happened with Team Chaos is finally behind us.”
Lucas: “I’m glad you have your memories back, big bro.” AJ smiles and gets his cartridge ball out.
AJ: “Let’s do this just like in the old days. Go Salamence and Latios!” AJ's two favorite pokemon are released and ready for battle.
Chase: “Favorites against favorites. Go Nidoking and Aggron!” Chase’s Nidoking and a Shiny Aggron appear at his side.

Then the vision stops and Chase and AJ quickly try to replay the vision in their heads.
AJ: “Ha, my memories will come back, but when?” AJ looks up and Uxie has already disappeared.
Chase: “Whoa, I capture a Shiny Aggron? Sweet, my third favorite pokemon as a shiny. Oh yeah, life is good.”
AJ: “Yay for you, now what do we do? Uxie has disappeared and I need more answers.” The cold midnight winds blow and then Uxie’s voice is heard among Chase, AJ, and the pokemon.
Uxie (telepathically): All in due time my good friends. Be patient forgetful one.
AJ: “Did that pokemon just call me ‘forgetful one?’ Why that little- who does it think it is?”
Chase: “The Sinnoh region’s Pokemon God of Wisdom? Anyway, Nidoking, Manetric, thanks for coming out, Return now.” Chase recalls his two favorite pokemon and Arcanine awaits its rider.
AJ: “Yeah, I might as well go home. I may not have gotten what I wanted, but it’s a start. Salamence, Return. Latios, let’s go home.”
Chase: “You know AJ, League is tomorrow. Wanna come? We’ll restore your memory, one thing at a time.”
AJ: “Now that I think of it, isn’t’ your birthday coming up as well.” Chase smiles.
Chase: “As well as the long awaited release of the Diamond and Pearl video games. And since we’ve been on this adventure I feel like I’ve gotten a head start on the Sinnoh Region pokemon and attacks.” The two of them rode their pokemon out of the woods and parted ways at AJ’s house. Even though this adventure just ended, Chase had the feeling that the new one was fast approaching.
Chase: “Save me, save us. Well, the ‘me’ is saved, but ‘us’ still needs to be saved.” Chase wondered if “us” included anyone else. There was no point asking that Jirachi who brought him the cartridge ball. He checked AJ’s Sapphire game and couldn’t find it anywhere. He headed home and went to bed. Just before he fell asleep, he left his cartridge ball next to five Elite balls he managed to grab at TC’s Base thanks to Gwen. He kept then as souveniers and as a way to summon the DP pokemon from the new games.
Chase: “Next adventure, just how much longer…” Chase drifts off to sleep. Team Chaos was gone, all the wild pokemon were recaptured, and everyone, to a certain extent, was able to go back to normal. What he didn’t know was that Xero entered his room that night while he was sound asleep. Still wearing his cloak to disguise himself,, Xero softly walked across the bedroom and inspected the five Elite Balls.
Xero (quietly): “Sorry Chase, but this is for your own good.” Xero swaps the Elite balls and with different Elite balls that had a “technical malfunction.” The Elite balls Xero left behind wouldn’t heal pokemon when they were called back. Xero left just as mysteriously as he came. He used the Alakazam that was waiting outside Chase’s bedroom door to Teleport outside. Then he recalls it into his own Elite Ball.
Xero: “You were great my good friend. Too bad you don’t know what you’re doing.” Xero disappears into the night. No one ever saw him again… at least, not in the present. However, it didn’t matter. Xero was as good as defeated and Chase got his happy endings worth… for now.
