What’s up, everyone? Happy New Year! To celebrate the occasion, I decided to write a story that’s a little different from what I normally do. A few days ago, I bought PokePark 2: Wonders Beyond, and I became completely taken by its unique setting and plot line. Well, I’m not gonna reveal too much, so, you’ll just have to wait and see where this is headed....
PokéPark Panic
Chapter 1
The space-time continuum is a marvelous thing. There are countless possibilities of what it might contain. Some say it leads to alternate dimensions, while others say that the slightest mishap could cause it to fall apart.
For one man, named Cyrus, breaking it was the last thing he wanted to do. He had tried to summon the legendary Pokémon, Dialga and Palkia, but all he did was get himself sucked into a wormhole. He spends nearly ten years drifting through time and space, until, finally, a bright light envelops him.
When the light disappears, he finds himself on a sunny beach. A nearby sign proclaims, “Welcome to Seasong Beach!”. It is unlike any other place he has ever been. The ocean water is sparkling clean, completely untainted by humans. Speaking of which, there doesn’t appear to be anyone else around. Cyrus ventures down the shore to look for help. Before he can walk too far, something else catches his eye; an unusually shaped rock. He picks it up, and then continues his walk.
Voice: Hello there!
Cyrus: [surprised] Who goes there?!??
[The voice is that of a small Pokémon he has never seen before. It has a small seashell on its chest.]
Cyrus. What are you? Are you a Pokémon, or something else?
Pokémon: My name is Oshawott! Welcome to PokéPark!
Cyrus: PokéPark???
Oshawott: Uh-huh! Right now, you’re in the Cove Area! This is Seasong Beach! Is there anything we can do to help, sir?
Cyrus: As a matter of fact, there is! My name is Cyrus, and I was wondering...can you give me the fastest route to Veilstone City?
Oshawott: Hmmm...I’ve never heard of it. Is that in the Crag Area?
Cyrus: What are you talking about?!? Aren’t we in Sinnoh right now?
Oshawott: Nope! I have no idea where that is!
Cyrus: Oh, my! I must have fallen into another dimension! Listen, you have to help me get back to Sinnoh! I promise that I’ll give you a reward!
[Oshawott’s eyes light up like diamonds.]
Oshawott: Now that you put it that way, of course I’ll help you! I think I know somebody who can solve your problem!
Cyrus: Well, take me to them!!!
Oshawott: Okay. But first, let’s have fun!!!!!
Cyrus: Fun??!??
For the next two hours, Oshawott gets Cyrus to partake in various activities with the other Pokémon, such as chasing Axew...
Axew: Ha ha! You can’t catch me!
Cyrus: Slow down!!! My legs weren’t built for running!
Hide-and-seek with Wynaut....
Cyrus: A-ha! There you are!
Wynaut: You found me! Why not?
And last, but not least, a fistfight with Krokorok...
Cyrus: I win!! You lose!!!!
Krokorok: Rats! Youse is tougher dan I thought!
This goes on for a while, until Cyrus reminds Oshawott of his promise.
Cyrus: This was fun and all, but I believe you were going to find someone who can get me out of here.
Oshawott: Oh, gosh! I almost forgot! Come on! We’re going to see Darkrai!
Cyrus: Darkrai????
Oshawott leads Cyrus into a bizarre portal. It takes them to a dark, twisted land, full of creepy looking Pokémon. Then, they head into a grand palace. Inside is none other than Darkrai himself!
Darkrai: Oshawott, my old friend. What brings you to my humble abode?
Oshawott: This guy right here says he needs your help!
Darkrai: You’re a strange looking Pokémon.
Cyrus: [chuckles] No, I’m not a Pokémon. My name is Cyrus. I’m the leader of Team Galactic. I was sucked into a wormhole and landed in this universe. Is there a way you can bring me back to my universe?
Darkrai: Hmmm, it’s possible, but I’ll need your help too, Oshawott.
Oshawott: Me?
Darkrai: Yes. Help me say the special teleportation chant. You know the one, right?
Oshawott: I sure do!
Cyrus: I promise, though, I’ll be back soon! Then we can continue with our game!
Oshawott: Oh boy!
Darkrai: Well, here goes nothing....
Darkrai and Oshawott: Dominatus simmer sand, bring him back to his own land!
[Cyrus disappears with a flash]
Darkrai: I think we did it. Well done, Oshawott!
Team Galactic HQ
[POP! Cyrus reappears in the middle of Team Galactic HQ.]
Cyrus: Ah, I’m back!!!! Did you guys miss me?
Charon: Boss, where have you been? We’ve been trying to find you for almost ten years!
Mars: I missed you soooooooo much! Gimme a hug, Cyrus!
Cyrus: Ermm...no thanks. Listen up! I have to tell you guys where I’ve been!
Saturn: Don’t leave us hanging, where did you go?!?
Cyrus: After getting sucked into that wormhole, I floated through the space-time continuum for what seemed like an eternity. Then, I landed in a wonderful place. It was called PokéPark, and the Pokémon could talk to me! And they got Darkrai to send me home!
Charon: Are you alright, boss?
Saturn: All that time he spent in there must have gone to his head.
Cyrus: Stop laughing! It was a very real place!
Jupiter: Sure it was! And I’m the queen of Sinnoh!
Cyrus: Charon, you’ve gotta send me back! Please! Never before have I felt as happy as I did when I was there!
Charon: If this place is as real as you say it is, then I should easily be able to send you back. Just let me make a few adjustments to my Teleport Watch.
Cyrus: Please hurry up! They’re expecting my return!
Charon: Oops! Ummm...I think I broke it.
Cyrus: Curses!!! How will I get back there now?
[Suddenly the rock that Cyrus has been holding starts to glow.]
Charon: That rock is glowing!
Cyrus: What’s inside?!?
[The rock hatches like an egg, and out comes a Pokémon shaped like a star.]
Pokémon: Let’s play!
Charon: I recognize that Pokémon anywhere! That’s Jirachi, the legendary Wish Pokémon!
Cyrus: Legendary, you say? It’s no Dialga or Palkia, but it’ll have to do for now. So you can grant wishes, huh? I wish I was back in PokéPark!
Jirachi: PokéPark? I will send you back there!
[POP! Cyrus has vanished again.]
Charon: Now that you’re all alone with us, how about you help us with a few “experiments”????
[Jirachi screams and flies out the window]
Jupiter: He got away, sir. Now what do we do?
Charon: Forget about him. We don’t really need him, anyway. Let’s delve into more important matters now...
Meanwhile, in Hoenn, our heroes are having a nice picnic by the beach. An old friend has come to visit them; Manaphy, the Prince of the Sea, whom they had previously saved from the evil pirate, Phantom.
Brock: Manaphy seems to be enjoying himself.
May: He looks so happy! Want some more PokéBlock?
[Croagunk pushes Manaphy out of the way and takes the PokéBlock for himself.]
Brock: Croagunk, that wasn’t very nice!
Max: Hey, guys! Look up in the sky! Something’s coming this way!
[It turns out to be a Jirachi traveling at a ridiculously fast speed. It hits Brock in the head and lands on the grass.]
Ash: It’s a Jirachi!
Jirachi: [moans] Bad things....bad things are coming this way....must get home to PokéPark...
May: What’s PokéPark?
Jirachi: My home.....must get back home....
Max: You can teleport, right? Why don’t you take us there?
Jirachi: Good idea....let’s go!
[POP! Ash and his friends disappear!]
-Seasong Beach-
Cyrus has already reappeared in Cove Town and is currently signing himself up for the next Battle Tournament.
Oshawott: Which Pokémon will you use for the Tournament?
Cyrus: Let’s see....since I like you the most, I’ll pick you!
Oshawott: Yay!
Cyrus: And I’ll also be using....that big red guy over there!
Audino: That’s Krookodile, the strongest Pokémon in Cove Town!
Cyrus: Strong is my middle name! I’ll take him!
Ash and friends run into Cove Town, where they come across all of the commotion.
Ash: I wonder what’s going on here?
Brock: Look at that guy over there dancing like a Totodile!
Ash: Hey, that’s that guy from Team Galactic, Cyrus!
Max: Who’s he?
Brock: Some crazy dude who wanted to control the universe. He broke the space-time continuum and fell in a wormhole, and I guess this is where he landed.
May: He looks like bad news!
Cyrus: Oh, it’s you two again! You’re the kids who stopped my plans to control Dialga and Palkia, along with the three Lake Guardians, Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit!
Ash: Are you trying to take over this universe, too?
Cyrus: Goodness, no! I was just about to enter their Battle Tournament in the Crag Area!
Ash: Tournament? Can I enter?
Audino: Okay. Just enter your name right here.
Ash: You can talk?!?
Audino: Of course! All of the Pokémon here can talk!
Brock: I’m entering too!!!
May: Me too!
-Crag Area Colosseum-
Rhyperior: Step this way, folks.
Ash: Cool, a Rhyperior!
May: A Rhyperior? What’s that?
Brock: It’s the final form of Rhydon!
Max: I didn’t know Rhydon even had another stage.
Rhyperior: Ugh, don’t even compare me to that poser! Rhydon is such a wimp! He can’t even make it into this contest!
Brock: So, Ash, which Pokémon are you going to use?
Ash: Since I left Pikachu back at Professor Oak’s, I’m going to use Greninja and Snorlax.
Brock: Well, I’m using Geodude, Croagunk, and Marshtomp!
May: And I’m just going to use Manaphy!
Ash: But they said you were allowed to use up to three Pokémon.
May: Not me! Manaphy is pretty strong. I’m sure I can rely on him to get me through!
Max: Don’t do it! You’re making a mistake, May!
May: You worry too much, Max. Besides, you don’t even have any Pokémon to enter in this contest.
Max: That’s where you’re wrong! I’m going to use Jirachi as my Pokémon!
Jirachi: We’ll win! We’ll win!
Cyrus: Don’t count on it, children! I’m going to beat all of you! See you there!
Sandile: Follow me, boss! The entrance is dis way!
Psyduck: Ladies and gentlemen-Psy! I’m your announcer, Psyduck! Welcome to this year’s annual Battle Tournament-Psy! Our first competitor is Garchomp, along with his associates, Lucario, and Hydreigon. Their challenger is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town-Psy!
Ash: I’m gonna win!
Referee Sawk: Let this match begin!
Garchomp: You go first, human.
Ash: Greninja, use your Water Shuriken!
[Greninja shoots one at Garchomp, but Garchomp is able to break it up!]
Garchomp: Haw haw! You call that a move? That was pathetic!
Ash: Oh, really? Show him what we can do, Greninja!
[Then, Ash-Greninja makes his appearance!]
Psyduck: Incredible-Psy! I’ve never seen anything like this!
Ash: Greninja, use Water Shuriken again!
[This time, Water Shuriken is successful, and Garchomp falls over.]
Sawk: YOOUU’RREE OUT!!!!
Ash: Alright, who’s next?!?
Hydreigon: Grrr!!!! Hydreigon angry! Hydreigon use Dragon Pulse!
Ash: Oh, no, you don’t! Snorlax, time for our secret weapon!
[Ash pulls out his Z-Ring]
Ash: Use.....PULVERIZING PANCAKE!!!!!
[Snorlax jumps up into the sky, and comes right back down on Hydreigon. Hydreigon is crushed and unable to move, so....]
Sawk: YOOUU’RREE OUT!!!!
Hydreigon: Hydreigon sad....
Ash: Looks like we’ve just got you to deal with now, Lucario.
Lucario: The aura is with me.....I’ll use Power-Up Punch!!!!
[Lucario attempts to use it on Snorlax, but his punches barely make a dent in Snorlax’s body]
Ash: Way to go, buddy.
Lucario: I’m not giving up, though. Now I call upon....AURA SPHERE!
Ash: Oh, no!
[Aura Sphere manages to knock Snorlax out, who then falls right on top of the referee.]
Sawk: [muffled] YOOUU’RREE OUT!!!!
Ash: You deserve a break, Snorlax. As for you, Lucario, I’ve got something else in mind for you!
[Ash reaches into his pocket and swaps his Z-Ring out for another one]
Ash: My friend Lana gave this to me. How would you like to become its first victim?!? Greninja, let our powers combine, and destroy that Lucario!
Lucario: NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
[BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!]
When it is all over, Lucario lies on the ground, unconscious.
Sawk: YOOUU’RREE OUT!!!! This round’s winner is Ash Ketchum!
Psyduck: Did you hear that, folks? Ash is now moving on to the semi-finals-Psy!
In the shadows, a mysterious Pokémon watches the proceedings......
Author’s note: Who will win the Tournament? Will it be Ash, Brock, May, Max, or Cyrus? What is Team Galactic’s new plan, and how will it affect our heroes? All these questions and more will be answered next time!
