Pokemon Adventure Journeys

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Dark City Situation



(Their next adventure takes place in front of a broken sign that says, Dark City.)

(In fact, that is where Mew and her friends destination is.)

(They see the place looks deserted, almost like a ghost town.)

(Yet, they decide to walk into the city to see if they can find somewhere to have lunch.)

(Brock says.)

Brock: "This place gives me the creeps. It's the middle of the day and there's nobody around. What's the deal?"

Mew: "Yeah,"

(Mew says.)

(Suddenly, they see a little boy running out from one of the buildings.)

(But the mother rushes him inside saying in fright.)

mother: "Get back inside this house right now! What if there are Pokemon trainers out?"

(Hearing that makes the group of friends confused.)

Misty: "Why would she be afraid of Pokemon trainers?"

(Misty wonders.)

Mew: "Something's strange is going on here,"

(Mew says.)

Tomo: "Very strange,"

(Tomo replies.)

(Suddenly, rocks begin to fly out of nowhere.)

(Pikachu and Eevee quickly dodge and climb on Mew's shoulders.)

Mew: "Hey!"

(Mew angrily says.)

(The group looks up to see figures disappearing before they can get a look.)

(Not pleased, Pikachu and Eevee climb up to the roof and give the attackers the Thunder Shock treatment.)

(The beings fall to the ground to reveal three little boys who fall on some hay.)

Brock: "They're, little kids!"

(Brock says, surprised.)

(Mew sternly asks.)

Mew: "Hey! What's the big idea throwing rocks at us?!"

Pikachu and Eevee: "Chu! Vee!" (Yeah!)

(Pikachu and Eevee add, sternly.)

(The boy with blue hair asks.)

boy with blue hair: "You guys are Pokemon trainers, right?"

Mew: "Um yeah. My name is Mew, and I like to become a great Pokemon trainer"

(Mew says, confused.)

Brock: "I'm Brock, and I wanna become the world's best Pokemon breeder,"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "And I'm gonna be a Water Pokemon Master! My name's Misty,"

(Misty says.)

(However, the boys look at the group with anger and prepare to attack them with sticks.)

(Suddenly, out of the Pokeball, Teddiursa begins to attack the three boys on their heads.)

(The little Teddiursa continues to throw punches on their heads in anger.)

(The three boys soon rub their heads in pain.)

(Teddiursa stops with his arms crossed and turns away with a huff.)

Brock: "Wow! That Teddiursa is tough,"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "Well with Mew being threatened, Teddiursa decides to come to her rescue and save us,"

(Misty says.)

(Teddiursa happily jumps to Mew and the girl catches the baby bear Pokemon in her arms.)

(Mew giggles.)

Mew: "Thank you, Teddiursa, but you didn't have to beat them up."

Teddiursa: "Teddi Teddiursa," (Just trying to protect you mama.)

(Teddiursa says.)

Mew: "It's a nice thought, but we could handle it,"

(Mew says.)

(The boy with the red hair says.)

boy with the red hair: "That really hurt. Also, we don't care who you are. If you have a Pokemon, you better get out of town."

(The boys nod their heads.)

Mew: "Why? What's wrong with Pokemon?"

(Mew asks, calmly.)

???: "Boys,"

(Someone calls out.)

(Just then, a man hurries over wearing an apron as he says.)

Man: "I apologize. These children don't mean to cause you any trouble. Come to my restaurant and I'll explain everything."

Mew: "Well, okay,"

(Mew replies.)

(Soon, they are in the restaurant where they are offered some lunch.)

(The owner says.)

restaurant owner: "In Dark City there are two Pokemon gyms, the Yas gym and the Kaz gym. The two gyms are in the middle of a gang war and they'll hire any wandering Pokemon trainers as soldiers to battle for them."

Mew: "I get it, so that's why there's nobody out on the streets here,"

(Mew says.)

(As the group eats, a person wearing a mask, sunglasses, a dark coat, and a hat is having some coffee.)

(Pikachu holds the ketchup bottle and squeezes a little on Eevee's lunch.)

(Eevee lets Pikachu know it's enough and Pikachu continues to eat the ketchup.)

Brock: "But I don't see. What's the point in fighting each other like this?"

(Brock asks.)

restaurant owner: "They claim that whichever gym wins will become an official Pokemon gym,"

(The owner says.)

Mew: "But that sounds silly. I mean, sure becoming an official Pokemon Gym could be a big honor, but it doesn't mean you have to fight in a street fight for it,"

(Mew says.)

Brock: "I agree,"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "Yeah, there's no point in fighting over it,"

(Misty adds.)

(Suddenly, they hear the sound of glass breaking and a lot of noise coming from outside.)

Misty: "Huh? What was that?"

(Misty asks, surprised.)

(The blue haired boy, Zack says.)

Zack: "It's them!"

Mew: "Them? You mean?"

(Mew asks, realizing what the boy means.)

restaurant owner: "Yes. The Yas and Kaz gyms are fighting again. If you don't want to get dragged into this, you better go upstairs and hide,"

(The owner says.)

(Mew and the others hurry upstairs so they won't be seen.)

(Outside, there is a group wearing blue jumpsuits with a K on it.)

(The Kaz leader says.)

Kaz: "Get ready! Today, the Kaz gym's gonna crush you!"

(The otherside shows a group wearing green overalls and a yellow long sleeve shirt with Y on the overalls.)

(The Yas leader says.)

Yas: "Guess again! The Yas gym will wipe you out!"

(Then Kaz Leader calls out.)

Kaz: "Go, Electabuzz! Thunderbolt, now!"

(Then the Electabuzz from the Kaz zaps the Yas soldiers.)

(Yas leader calls out.)

Yas: "We can't let them win! Attack, Scyther!"

(Scyther attacks and causes a nearby building to collapse on top of the Kaz soldiers.)

(Soon, many people run away from the area in a panic.)

(From the window, Mew and her friends are shocked.)

(Brock turns to the kids.)

Brock: "Is it always like this?"

(Sadly, the boys nod their heads in reply.)

(Then Mew and her friends turn to the window.)

Brock: "Now I can understand why everyone around here hates Pokemon trainers,"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "That's not even a Pokemon battle! It's more like a street fight!"

(Misty says.)

(Seeing this makes Mew angry.)

Mew: "Those bullies! They don't understand what it really means to be a Pokemon trainer!"

(Suddenly, they hear the noise coming from downstairs.)

(The restaurant owner is being attacked by three Kaz soldiers, but they look familiar.)

(The smallest attacker says.)

???: "Hey, cook! Give me the lunch special for thirty people."

???: "We've got to be the Kaz gym in less than an hour,"

(A female attacker says.)

(The tallest attacker says.)

???: "Throw in an order of onion rings while you're at it."

restaurant owner: "I'd like to, but, you see, the Kaz gym hasn't paid its bill in over two years,"

(The restaurant owner says.)

(Mew and the others watch quietly from upstairs.)

(Mew softly says.)

Mew: "There's something familiar about them."

(The female attacker angrily says.)

???: "What?! Are you telling us we can't put this on our tab?!"

???: "Do you realize we're Kaz gym bodyguards? Give us the food or else!"

(the purple haired attacker says.)

(The owner panics.)

restaurant owner: "I'd like to, but I can't. I don't want any trouble!"

???: "You won't give us lunch, but you don't want trouble, huh?"

(The shortest member says.)

(Then the female member says.)

???: "You're talking to the wrong customers if you don't want any trouble."

(The restaurant owner panics.)

restaurant owner: "Please, leave me alone! I don't want any trouble!"

(With that word sends temptation in the two's ears.)

???: "Trouble?"

(The woman questions.)

???: "Trouble? I can't resist, Jessie,"

(The man says.)

Jessie: "Neither can I! Prepare for trouble!"

(The woman says, and turns off her disguise to reveal Jessie.)

James: "Make it double!"

(The man does the same, taking off his disguise.)

(Soon, they're revealed to be Team Rocket.)

(much to Mew, her friends, and the Pokemons' shock.)

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation.

James: To unite all peoples within our nation.

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love.

James: To extend our reach to the stars above.

Jessie: Jessie.

James: James.

(Jessie throws her Pokeball, calling out.)

Jessie: "Go get them, Arbok!"

James: "Weezing, attack!"

(James says, doing the same.)

(Both Pomemon come out of their Pokeballs and attack the restaurant owner.)

(The mysterious customer steps back from the fight.)

Mew: "It's Team Rocket! I knew it!"

(Mew says, coming down stairs.)

(Brock brings out his Pokeball.)

Brock: "I'll handle this."

Tomo: "Tomo help too"

(Tomo says.)

(Both of them call out their Pokemon.)

Brock and Tomo: "Go, Vulpix/Growlithe!"

(Then both Pokemon come out.)

(Brock and Tomo call out.)

Brock and Tomo: "Use Flamethrower!"

(With that, Vulpix and Growlithe fire their flamethrower attack at Team Rocket.)

(Meowth stands up and says.)

Meowth: "Rare." Same goes with Weezing and Arbok.

Jessie: "Medium,"

(Jessie says, looking in the mirror.)

(James stands up, completely burned.)

James: "Well done."

(Soon, Team Rocket retreats from the scene.)

Misty: "Nice to see you leave!"

(Misty calls out.)

(Then Mew says.)

Mew: "Don't come back anytime!"

(Then Mew turns to the owner and asks.)

Mew: "Are you alright?"

restaurant owner: "Thank you for saving my restaurant,"

(The owner says in gratitude.)

Mew: "It's no trouble, but you should really thank Vulpix and Growlithe,"

(Mew says.)

(Vulpix and Growlithe happily bark in reply.)

(Suddenly, someone says.)

???: "That was great!"

(Everyone turns her heads to see a female trainer with blue hair and purple eyes.)

(Judging by the appearance and the uniform she is a member of the Yas gym.)

girl: "I saw everything that happened!"

(The girl happily says.)

(The group becomes confused, but Brock approaches the young lady and asks.)

Brock: "Excuse me, is there someway we can help you, miss?"

the girl: "Those were some of the strongest bodyguards from Kaz gym! How did your friend overpower them so easily? She must be a very gifted, very famous, Pokemon trainer,"

(The girl says, making Brock blush.)

(The girl happily begs.)

the girl: "Please! Please! You must tell me your names!"

(Before Brock can answer, Mew steps in and says.)

Mew: "Can you give us a few minutes?"

(Mew drags Brock away and with Misty, Tomo and the Pokemon, they all form a separate circle.)

Brock: "What do you think?"

(Brock asks.)

(Misty says.)

Misty: "If we get mixed up in this gang war, it could ruin our reputations as Pokemon trainers."

Brock: "It will be best to come up with fake names and see what she wants,"

(Brock says.)

Mew and Misty: "Right,"

(The girls reply.)

(Mew turns to the girl and says.)

Mew: "Um well, you see, my name is… my name is Aurora… Aurora Veil. And the little guy with me is… Spark…"

Tomo: "Sparks,"

(Tomo says.)

(Misty is confused, a weird idea for a name, but using the name of a Pokemon move is better than nothing.)

Misty: "Well then, my name is Aqua Rings,"

(Misty says.)

(Still blushing, Brock is not saying a word.)

(Misty nudges at him until he comes out of his daze.)

(Then Brock says.)

Brock: "And I'm Stone. Stone Edge."

(Happy, the girl says.)

the girl: "Oh Aurora, Spark, Aqua, and Stone would you consider joining our cause at the Yas gym? Unlike those animals from the Kaz gym, we at Yas are truly worth of becoming an official Pokemon gym."

Mew: "Uh, well. You better ask Aqua,"

(Mew replies.)

(Misty says.)

Misty: "Well, we can't do it! Isn't that right, Stone Edge?"

(But Brock quickly says.)

Brock: "We'll do anything we can to help."

(Misty falls over in disbelief while Mew, Pikachu, and Eevee groan with annoyed expressions.)

(Tomo is confused.)

(Misty says, annoyed.)

Misty: "Brock just can't say no to a pretty girl."

Mew: "But it might give us more information about the Yas gym,"

(Mew says.)
