        Challenge of Whirl Islands

Lance was walking around the Whirl Islands. Dragonair was floating around her trainer. It had been a year since any contact with Ash and Brock had been made. Lance heard someone coming up from behind.

"I challenge you to a match, baby." The person said. Lance turned around to face the Vermillion City gym leader, Lt. Surge.

"Shouldn't you be at your gym?" Lance asked.

"Are you to afraid to accept my challenge, baby?" Lt. Surge asked.

"I accept." Lance said. (He'll regret calling me that.)

"Go! Raichu! Thunder!" Lt. Surge ordered as he sent out a giant electric mouse. He had red cheeks with curved back lighting shaped ears. He also had a long tail ending with a lightning bolt. He then fired a lightning bolt from his cheeks towards Lance. Lance quickly moved out of the way.

(So now he's aiming at me. Go Dragonair. Blizzard. Freeze his Raichu.) Lance thought.

(After nearly hitting you I'll do more than freeze him!) Dragonair thought. Dragonair fired a blizzard from the crystal on its neck and froze the Raichu solid.

"No! Raichu! Return. I'll get you for this, baby!" Lt. Surge said as he ran off.

(Why'd he nearly attack you?) Dragonair thought.

(I don't know. Lets keep an eye out for anything else.) Lance thought.

(All right. That could have just been a fluke though.) Dragonair thought.

(Maybe so, but can we take the chance?) Lance thought.

(Point taken.) Dragonair thought. (Why did we come here anyways?)

(Lugia said there is someone here who wishes to cause trouble by catching him. So he wants us to find this person to stop them.) Lance thought.

(What if it was Lt. Surge?) Dragonair thought.

(I don't think it was. We'll stick around to find the person until Lugia says it's safe for him.)

(All right.) Dragonair thought. They continued searching the island until they found there was no one else on it now.

(Alright Dragonair next island.) Lance thought as he sent out Salamence and flew to the next island with Dragonair beside them.

(What was up with Lt. Surge?) Dragonair thought.

(There are four people here. Three contain water, electricity, and fire. One contains Phoenix.) Lance heard.

(Did you hear that?) Lance thought.

(Yes.) Both Salamence and Dragonair thought.

(Who was it, and what do they mean. Three contain water, electricity, and fire, and one contains Phoenix.) Salamence thought.

(I don't know.) Lance thought. When they landed on the second island Lance returned Salamence and continued walking through the island.

"Hey, do I know you from somewhere?" Lance heard from behind. He turned to see someone with brown shorts and a red and purple striped shirt.

"I don't think we've ever met." Lance replied.

"Hmmm. I'm Todd." He said.

"I'm Lance." Lance replied.

"That sounds familar." Todd mumbled.

"Are you here to catch Lugia?" Lance asked.

"No. I'm a pokemon photographer. I take pictures of pokemon." Todd replied. "My friends a trainer. He intends to learn all he can about Lugia and maybe even catch it."

"Oh." Lance mumbled. (Could he be the one?) Lance thought.

"Magmar! Flamethrower!" Lance turned in time to see a Magmar breath fire towards them.

"Move! Dragonair! Blizzard!" Lance yelled as he pushed Todd and jumped out of the way. Dragonair then fired a blizzard at the Magmar. Magmar easily withstood it. (Now use Dragon Rage.) Lance thought.

(All right. I'll make him pay!) Dragonair thought. Dragonair fired a ball of fire about the size of itself and knocked it back abit. Lance saw the trainer finally. It was the leader of the Cinnabar gym, Blane.

"Blane! What are you doing!?" Lance yelled.

"Following orders. Magmar! Fire Blast!" He ordered.

(Dragonair twister.) Lance thought. Dragonair then summoned forth a twister blocking the fire blast. (Now surf.) Dragonair's crystal started glowing blue. A tidal wave came behind Blane and slammed into him and Magmar before they knew what happened.

"What was that!?" Blane yelled as he returned Magmar. "I'll get you for this!" Blane said as he ran off.

(I don't think this is a fluke. Do you Dragonair?) Lance thought.

(No. You were right Lance. I was hoping, but something is obviously happening.) Dragonair thought.

(But what?) Lance thought.

"Thanks for helping me." Todd said.

"Huh, oh you’re welcome. I need to get going." Lance said.

"All right. See ya later." Todd said as he went to another side of the island. After exploring the island and finding out Todd was on it they flew to the third one after Lance sent out Salamence. When they landed Lance recalled Salamence.

(I wonder what will attack us here.) Lance thought.

(I wish I knew, but we'll find out soon enough.) Dragonair thought. They then started searching the island.

"Gyaradoes! Hydro Pump!" Lance heard as he jumped to avoid the blasts of water. He turned around to see who was attacking only to see the younger sister of the gym leader of Cerulean City, Misty.

"What are you doing Misty?" Lance asked.

"Destroying you for what you did! Hydro Pump!" Misty ordered. Lance avoided the blast again.

(Can I attack yet?) Dragonair thought.

(One second.) Lance thought.

"What do you mean? What I did?" Lance asked.

"Making Ash leave me! Hyper Beam!" Misty yelled. Lance jumped to the side getting annoyed at being blasted at.

(Never mind about asking questions. Thunder.) Lance thought.

(Finally.) Dragonair thought as she fired a lightning bolt from her crystal knocking Gyaradoes down. Gyradoes then got up with a roar.

(Fire another round.) Lance thought.

(All right.) Dragonair thought as she fired another lightning bolt that struck the sea serpent with a direct hit.

"No! Gyaradoes!" Misty yelled as she returned the sea serpent and took off.

(This is weird.) Lance thought as they continued on. (Let's just go to the final island.)

(All right.) Dragonair thought. Lance then sent out Salamence.

(Take me to the next island.) Lance thought.

(You got it.) Salamence thought as he took off towards the next island. After a five-minute flight they landed on the final island. Lance then returned Salamence.

"Hello Lance." Lance turned around to see Gary was standing there.

"Do you have the phoenix?" Lance asked.

"Only one way to find out." Gary replied with a smirk.

"Fine." Lance said.

"Go Ho-oh! Sacred Fire!" Gary ordered as a Phoenix appeared.

(Dragonair use dragon rage.) Lance thought. Dragonair fired the fireball causing little damage to the phoenix. (Surf.) Dragonair's crystal then glowed as a tidal wave slammed Ho-oh into the ground.

"Ho oh! Fire Blast!" Gary commanded. Ho-oh then fired a fire blast at Dragonair knocking it back.

(Dragonair are you okay?) Lance thought.

(Yeah. I'll be fine.) Dragonair replied.

"Now!" Gary yelled. Blane, Misty, and Lt. Surge then surrounded Lance.

"We have you right where we want you Lance." Blane said.

"Yes. Now I can finally get my revenge." Misty said.

"Now you pay for your wrongs, baby." Lt. Surge said.

"Go! Entei! Fire Blast!" Blane ordered.

"Go! Suicune! Hydro Pump!" Misty ordered at the same time.

"Go! Raikou! Thunder!" Lt. Surge ordered at the same time.

(Go Aerodactle, Dragonite, Salamence. Use your best judgement.) Lance thought. The three dragons protected Lance from the three attacks and then charged the attackers. (Dragonair, you and I will face the phoenix.)

(Okay.) Dragonair thought.

"Do you honestly think you can beat us?" They all asked in unision.

"Yes." Was all Lance said. (Alright you three.) Lance thought catching the attention of Salamence, Aerodactle, and Dragonite. (Combine your hyper beam with Dragonair's to knock out the phoenix.) They all charged up their hyper beams and blasted Ho-oh making him fall into the sea.

"No! Ho-oh!" Gary yelled as he watched feathers float to the surface of the water. "How could you kill him?" Gary said as he sent out a Pidgeot and flew off.

(He is not very bright. Ho oh will be reborn. Okay Dragonair and Dragonite use surf to take out Entei. Aerodactle use your Ancient Power to hurt Raikou. Salamence slam into the Suicune to hurt it a bit as well.) Lance thought. The pokemon quickly acted to the Dragon Master's orders. Dragonair and Dragonite quickly brought up two tidal waves covering the island slamming into Entei knocking it out, Aerodactle made a wave of rocks slam into Raikou knocking it back a bit, and Salamence slammed into Suicune after flying through the air to gain momentum.

"No, Entei." Blane said shocked at seeing Entei fall. He returned him and then sent out a Pidgeot and also flew off.

(All right, Dragonair and Dragonite use twister on Raikou. Aerodactle use another ancient power on Raikou, and Salamence use flamethrower on Raikou as well.) Lance thought. Dragonair and Dragonite brought forth a twister and picked Raikou into the air and slammed him into the ground injuring him badly. Aerodactle then shot another wave of rocks at Raikou knocking him out. (Hit Suicune instead Salamence.) Salamence released a flamethrower on Suicune.

"No! This can't be happening! Baby." Lt. Surge yelled as he returned Raikou and flew off on a Pidgeot.

"Your not even giving us a chance to strike back!" Misty yelled.

(Dragonair. Remind me who ambushed whom.) Lance thought.

(They ambushed us.) Dragonair thought.

(I thought so. Dragonair and Dragonite use thunder on Suicune. Aerodactle use hyper beam, and Salamence use your headbutt.) Lance thought. Dragonair and Dragonite fired lightning bolts at Suicune knocking it back just enough to get hit with a hyper beam knocking it out.

"No, Suicune!" Misty yelled as she returned it and also flew off on a Pidgeot.

"How did everyone start getting Pidgeots?" Lance asked.

(I don't know.) Dragonair replied.

(Thank you all for helping.) Lance thought as the dragon master returned the three pokemon. Lance looked at Dragonair. (Do you want to rest?)

(No. I'm fine.) Dragonair thought.

(All right. If you say so.) Lance thought as they continued to the end of the island.

(You’re too late.) Lance heard.

"No! I know who that is now!" Lance yelled.

(Who?) Dragonair thought.

"Lugia!" Lance yelled.

"Too bad you can't save Lugia, Lance. Since I just caught him. This time I've used something worse than a master ball. Care to know what?" Clair said.

"What?" Lance replied with anger.

"A mind controlling machine. Go! Lugia! Aeroblast!" She ordered. Lugia appeared with a machine strapped to his neck it had a red orb in its center.

(Dragonair use hyper beam on the red orb. Quickly!) Lance thought. Dragonair then fired a hyper beam and destroyed the red orb in the center blowing up the machine. Lugia then turned and faced Clair and blasted her into the sky with the aeroblast.

(Thank you, Lance for helping me.) Lugia thought.

(Your welcome.) Lance said as the dragon master sent out Charazard.

(I will return back to my resting spot.) Lugia said as he dived into the water.

(Good-bye, Lugia.) Lance then looked a Dragonair. "Are you sure you don't want to rest?" Lance asked. Dragonair simply nodded. "Alright. Charazard fly." Lance ordered. A presence watched as Lance flew off.

"You've passed another test dragon master. Can you pass the third and final test?" The presence said.

Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon. There enough said. Gotta Catch Ya Later.
