Let's get outta Here before The Stage Explodes!

by: Pipian

Pipian, Jamie, and Score had left the Gym when Tiki walked up with Keri.

"What happened to you guys?" asked Pipian.

"Well, we wandered off from the Gym, because I decided that she would just use her good pokémon on me again, and we wandered around Pokéstock. I *did* have a cool trip! It was Psychodelico!"

"Umm... You had some pottish, didn't you!"

"No! I had some BSPD!"

"What?"

"BellSprout Psychodelic Drug!"

"Oh."

"Anyway, when I recovered from that, I was here with Keri."

"OK."

Just then, John walked over to the group.

"Well, I didn't win anything."

"It would be unlikely," said Orion.

"Well, since the group's here, we might get a move on. Do we have enough money?" asked Tiki.

"Umm... I spent all our winnings..." replied John.

"OK... Looks like we'll have to walk to Fuschia and Surf to Cinnabar again. I heard that they allow pedestrians on Cycling Road, now."

"OK... At least I don't have to share with Orion, I have Iiryu!" said Pipian.

"Who's that?"

"My new Dratini!"

"Oh, good!"

A bunch of rioters then came around the corner.

"Nooo! There are a bunch of Hippie rioters and they want to destroy Pokéstock '99!" said Score.

"Oh, well, we might want to get out of here before the stage explodes!" said Tiki.

They quickly left Celedon, and were getting on Cycling Road when the stage exploded.

re: by Tiki

The Gang walked toward cycling road they reached the gate and was stopped by the guard, "Uhh kids, do you guys have any bikes to travel on?" He asked.

"No I thought we were allowed to walk across the bridge." Tiki said.

"Technically you are, but it takes almost two days to reach the other end on foot, so if you don't have any bikes you better get some supply." The group walked to get some supply they met up again at the bridge an hour later, with plenty of supply, "Alright go right ahead." the guard said, "Oh and be careful not to try and fish and especially don't go swimming in the river we've had some sightings of some really nasty Gyrados tht have been bothering people that go near the water."

"Thanks for the advice," Jamie said, "I'm sure we'll be able to handle it, Right?" She looked at her Caterpie for reassurence, but it quivered for a second with fear then dove into Jamie's open backpack. "Well.... someone will handle it I'm sure."

The group walked for about six hours with nothing happening out of the ordinary, they eventually reached a break sight and decided this would be a good place to sleep. They got out their various newly purchased sleeping equipment and went to sleep.

At about three am Tiki woke up, he had to go. "Ahhh man I'm so warm in here and it's so cold out there, what should I do?" Tiki pondered the thought for a sec, "uhh I better get up." Tiki walked over to the near by latrine and went in. He couldn't see the purple flash off in the distance though.

Mewtwo apperead over the river in a flash of purple energy, "Mmmmm, the young one is getting closer to me, it's time for the tests to begin to see if he's truly ready for the truth." Mewtwo's eyes started glowing, the water underneath him started bubbiling, and then a dozen or so gyrados's heads popped up, their eyes glowing purple, "My minions, go to that campsite over there," Mewtwo pointed toward T.A.C's campsite, "Attack them, if you must kill someone do so, but don't kill the one they call Tiki, he might be salvagable after all."

The Gyrados nodded their heads turned and started swiming towards the campsite, Mewtwo chuckled to himself and teleported away.

Tiki stepped out of the bathroom, refreshed and ready to go back to sleep, when he heard a grumbling sound, at first he thought it was his stomach, but then he heard a loud "ROOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!" He turned around to see a large amount of Gyradoses swiming toward their campsite.

"Uhhhhh, guys...." Tiki said, no one stirred. "HEY SLEEPING PEOPLE!!!!! GET UP!!!!!!!!" This got everyone up.

"Tiki.. what is.... it" Score said, "We're tired...." Then there was another loud roar, everyone jumped up and looked to see the Gyrados almost upon them.

"Uh oh, we've got some BIGGGGG problems." John said.

re: by Pipian

"Crud!" said Orion.

"Ahh! I have Volt!" said Pipian. "And Iiryu."

Pipian released the two pokémon and told them to Thundershock and Thunder Wave. However, the attacks had almost no effect, other than making the Gyaradoses madder.

"CRUD!" they all said in unison as Pipian brought his pokémon back.

"Looks like we'll get to Fuschia sooner than we thought! LET'S RUN!" said Tiki.

The group began to run, but the Gyaradoses were too fast for the group and caught up with them.

"C...R...U...D!" they said.

"Umm... We can't quite out run them, so we HAVE to battle them!" said John.

"OK!" the group said as they let out their pokémon to battle in what seemed to be a nearly futile battle.

re: by syke6888 L

"Well, you know what they say, fight fire with fire! Go, Renta!" The Gyarados appeared. "Attack... Hey!" John leaped back just as his own Gyarados attacked. "What the hell," was what John said before Renta swallowed him.

"JOHN!" shouted T.A.C. Suddenly Renta's mouth started to open. John pushed hard but soon realized he couldn't escape. "Hey guys! A little help here?" That was futile, because all of T.A.C's Pokémon were being trashed by the Gyarados. "Uggh, now I know how that knight felt in the movie 'Dragoniteheart.' Phew, Renta needs a breath mint."

While still doing his best at remainig ourside his Pokémon's gullet, John surveyed the situation. Gyarados were going down hard, but more seemed to take their place. Jamie was out of the battle, not to mention consciousness. Score tried his best, but soon Roo and Spanky fainted. And Tiki... Tiki was in a situation similar to John's, as a Gyarados grabbed him and swam off to parts unknown.

"Dammit! They got Tiki!" shouted Pipian. Next thing they knew, the battlefield was empty. All the Gyarados left as well, and T.A.C's Pokémon were beaten. And as for John... he was still stuck. "Dammit, I have to reach Spark." John kneeled down and and tapped the pokéball. Spark appeared and immediately yelped upon finding out where he was. "Spark, no time to spaz out, use Thundershock!" Spark released his energy, which knocked out Renta. John and Spark climbed out and saw T.A.C. trying to recover.

"Where the hell did they take Tiki?" asked Orion. Score smiled, then held up a Pokéball.

"I managed to catch one of these creatures. It should tell us what we need to know. Ok, it should tell Orion what we need to know."

re: by Tiki

Tiki's eyes opened, he was just regaining conciousness. "Uh, where am I?" He could barely see anything it was so dark there was just a faint glow of light around him, then he inhaled, "Awww I smell like fish." He then noticed that he was tied down and that his pokemon his staff and everything else except his clothes were gone. He tried to use his psychic powers only to hear a loud screech in his ears.

"Hmmmm, this device is more useful than I originally thought," Mewtwo stepped into the light, "How nice to see you awake Tiki, I hope you're comfortable." Mewtwo smiled.

"What do you want Mewtwo?" Tiki asked irritated by Mewtwo more than anything else.

"Tiki you still haven't figured it out... I want you, you're something I have invested a lot of time in, and I want to cash in on my investment." Mewtwo layed the APB down on the ground, then the syrum, "What was this for, young one? Were you trying to reduce my power? I'm sorry but you wont be able to do that." Mewtwo threw the syrum on the ground it broke and spread across the ground.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M YOUR INVESTMENT MEWTWO!!!" Tiki yelled now throughly awake and enraged.

"All will be revealed soon Tiki."

"Why are you keeping me here why don't you just take over my mind?" Tiki asked.

"I wish it was that easy, but I unfortunatly cannot control your mind. At least not as simply as I did your friends. No, you will take some convincing."

"I will never help you, and why do you need my help anyway?" Tiki asked.

"There are some things that not even I can young one, and that's why you're here, soon you will be what you are supposed to be and the truth will be revealed, until then just rest." Mewtwo turned around and walked off into the darkness.

Score released their new pokemon. "Gyarados tell us where Tiki and Mewtwo are!" Score commanded.

The Gyarados was about to respond when his eyes glowed purple and he thrashed about in pain. Jamie woke up to see this sight, "Wha.. what's going on?" Score recalled their pokemon and they all walked over to Jamie and explained it.

"Well Score it looks like your Gyarados can't tell us where Mewtwo is." John said, "Maybe Mewtwo supressed his memories or something.

"So how do we figure out where Tiki is?" Orion asked, "We have a one in three chance of getting it right. There's Cinnibar, the Pokemon Tower or the old Power Plant."

"We could split up and investigate all of the possibilities but we'd be so far spread out that when one group found Mewtwo he'd simply kick their butts." Pipian said.

Everyone stared off into deep thought. It was about dawn when the silence was broken by Keri, "EEVEE!!!"

Everyone looked to Orion for a translation, "She said she has an idea." Orion said.

Keri then started talking very excitedly, Orion nodded his head in agreement, everyone waited for her to stop and for Orion to translate, "Keri says, that maybe Tiki has a tracking device on his computer that she's seen him use a couple of times, but if we could only find someone that could trace it." Orion dictated.

Everyone was silent again, then Jamie's eyes lit up with an idea, "I've got it, that dude in Pallet I bet he could trace Tiki, but only if Mewtwo hasn't disabled it. But how do we reach him? None of us know his phone number and Palett is mighty far away."

Once again silence, everyone thought about this new problem, then Pipian got an idea, "I know! I can send my Haunter to the guy's house and he could just fly through the walls and give the guy the message."

"I don't think that will work Pipian, it's an awfully long way to Pallet for a Haunter to fly. We need to make contact with him fast so we can start heading in the correct direction, who knows what Mewtwo is planning to do with Tiki."

Tiki had been trying to figure out where he was for quite sometime, then it came to him. He looked up to where his light source was, he then looked around him the light was in a perfect circle, but it was highly restricted to the circle. He determined that it couldn't be natural light, so that means it was electric. He knew that the Pokemon Tower didn't have any sources of electricity and he guessed that the old lab at Cinnibar wouldn't have any electricity. That meant that he was most likely in the Power Plant, but how could he give that message to the others?

re: by Pipian

"We could use Spanky..." said Score.

"Nope. Too slow," the others replied.

They sat in silence, thinking how they could contact him, when Pipian blared out, "I'VE GOT IT!"

"What?" the others asked.

"My Kadabra! He could teleport there and deliver the message!"

"Great idea!" responded Jamie as she began to write the letter to the man in Pallet.

After a few minutes, Jamie finished the letter and gave it to Pipian's Kadabra.

"Kadabra, you know where the man in Pallet who we talked to way back when is?"

"Kadabrra!" it said as it nodded it's head.

"Please take this message to him and bring back his message."

"Kadabra!" it said as it teleported away.

"Now it's a waiting game."

After about 15 minutes, Kadabra returned with a letter.

"It says," said Pipian, "So Tiki's missing as a result of Mewtwo you think, huh? Well you are lucky that I installed psychometers at all of the three sites. I noticed a sharp spike in psychic force at the Power Plant just recently, so it is likely that Tiki is there! You'll need to get there as soon as possible..."

"Well that stinks," said John.

"Well, we'll need to backtrack..." said Orion, "So we'd better step on it!"

"OK!"

TBC?
