Characters: (SPOILER ALERT) (REVEALS MOST OF STORY LINE)
Thunder

Spoiler

So, the story. The main protagonist is a Pikachu named Thunder- a little rash and some anger issues- who's on a journey to save his pregnant girlfriend- a Pikachu named Lightning who I guess technically it would be his mate...- from Team Rocket. He was captured by Team Rocket, but was freed from the van by Spark on the way to the Rocket's airport; he met Jack in the van. Mew has constantly sent legendary trio's to bring him to her, but there seems to be a curse following Thunder that kills every trio of legendary Pokemon that he meets; so far it's killed: Entei; Raikou; Suicune; Azelf; Mesprit; Uxie; Regice; Regirock; Registeel; Palkia; Dialga and Giratina.

Spark

Spoiler

One of the two major supporting protagonists is a Raichu named Spark. He just beat Thunder in a battle for leadership of the Pikachu clan they live in, he evolved just to beat him; he's helping Thunder save Lightning because he feels guilty that he didn't save her when he could have. He's a little stupid, but stupid like Spongebob is.

Jack

Spoiler

The other supporting character is a human named Jack. Jack was originally an Eevee, a clone created by Team Rocket that was genetically engineered to have strands of human DNA as well as Eevee DNA so he could transform between human and Eevee at will. He was put in a cage in a van to be sold later, but Spark freed him as well as Thunder when the later two were both in the same van. When they escaped, Jack fell into a pool of radioactive waste and transformed into a human like he was created to, but is now traveling with Thunder and Spark because he was seen by a Rocket and fears that they'll try to capture him again.

Lightning

Spoiler

Thunder's girlfriend/mate, she was captured by Team Rocket because she knows the special move "Surf". Team Rocket needed Lightning so they could create an Azure Flute, which they were close to doing.

Prologue

Long ago, before humans walked the earth, a prophecy was made to a powerful leader. His name was Surge. Armed with a light ball that hung on a necklace that he never took off, Surge was the mightiest Pikachu on the planet. But even the greatest grow old and die, and he was no exception. With three sons and two daughters, the elderly leader thought that he could die in peace, buried with his treasure so nobody else could be as powerful as him. Wrong. Only a week before his death, Mew teleported into his nest with a prophecy. In dark, ominous words, Mew recited the great and dark prediction.

"In a far away time, when humans walk the earth,
your descendant will come, strange colors at birth.

Named for the sound a lightning storm does make,
his attacks, so strong, boulders they'll break.

A mighty rodent he'll be, with twice your power,
but help the strange one will need, in his darkest hour.

The light ball you must lay, in a cave not far,
seal it then die, inside the fallen star.

But your spirit will linger, to give him aide when he summons your ghost
reveal the treasure's location, when his bodies' your host.

Do not do this, don't say you weren't told,
legendary power they'll have, enemies of he who is red and gold."

After prophesying, Mew let out a high pitched giggle of amusement and vanished as quickly as he had come. Needless to say, the old one was so scared and confused at the prediction, and honored that he was in a legendary presence, that he immediately did as Mew told him to do. And though, after he died, his offspring searched for his powerful treasure, it was never found, becoming just a story for young Pichu.




Chapter 1:

"Is that all you can do?" A Pikachu taunted. His opponent, a male a few years older then then his foe, fainted from the wounds he had received in the battle. The battle for leadership of the Pikachu clan. The winner, an oddly colored Pikachu that had golden fur instead of yellow, went over to his girlfriend, a pretty, less powerful Pikachu named Lightning, to gloat over the victory. "What's with Pikachus these days?" he asked "So confident that they can beat me."

"You better not gloat too much." she teased "One day one of them might beat you." They ran off laughing together, deeper into the forest the Pikachu clan called its home, to look for a quiet dinner together.

Back at the nesting area, the Pikachu that had lost was complaining, and he wasn't the only one. "Why is that arrogant Thunder our clan leader?" he asked "Why not someone who is older and more experienced, not that young, stupid thing that we call a leader!"

A young female cried out "Spark, don't let him hear you! If he does, he will banish you from the clan!" But Spark wouldn't stop.

"I don't care! The clan isn't the same since he became leader!" At this there were muttered agreements "I say we get rid of "the all mighty Thunder" once and for all!" And at this, everyone agreed, and together, they started plotting about how they would get rid of their clan leader.

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Eventually

Re: The Thunder Tribe

This is great, I hope you make more chapters

Re: The Thunder Tribe

It took me a while to read it, but there were some good elements to it. Although killing of every legendary trio that showed up to help them was really funny, I would have liked it if they fought back a bit more. For instance, Dialga, ruler of time, dies because his brain implodes from thinking too much. Hilarious, yes (I mean this in the least cynical way, I definitely didn't see that coming), but he's been around since, literally, the beginning of time. Surely he would have imploded earlier?
Also, I suggest adding one chapter at a time, if you're going to add any more or write another one (from what I can tell, seeing as you've written the end parts, your best option is a sequel). This gives slow readers like us some time to read it and comment, instead of having to read so many chapters at a time.
Regardless, you've done a good job. I couldn't find any glaring grammatical errors (I actually couldn't find any, period. Correct me if I'm wrong). The plot was simple, but it was amusing. My only regret is that you posted it all as one big block, and not little posts every few days with a new chapter- you're bound to get more reviews that way.

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Thanks, and should I just break it up now?

 

[Lurking]

Re: The Thunder Tribe

I suggest that you edit the post and cut out all of the Chapters besides Chapter 1, and then release each chapter one by one every two or three days (of course, I have about as much, if not less, experience at this than you do, but it seems to work better).

If you do this, I'll probably actually read it.

 

[Zekurom]

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Either do that, or merge the first 5 chapters and post that as chapter 1. I read the first five chapters, and it seems like the chapters could be spliced together.

Merging the first 5 chapters would leave him with only 8 chapters of material left, so maybe 2 more merged chapters at best.
Either way, it is really long and I probably wouldn't have read it when I noticed that you put the entire story into it if I wasn't really bored.

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Chapter 2 & 3:




Chapter 2:

For the next few weeks, everything seemed normal for Thunder. Pichus would beg their mothers for stories, Spark was back to training, and the rest of the clan was doing everyday chores. But what the leader didn't know was that Spark and the other members of the clan had decided on how they would get Spark to finally beat Thunder and become leader. Since Spark had decided that he would do almost anything to gain leadership, he and all the other Pikachus, came to the conclusion that the only way to defeat Thunder was for Spark to evolve. So he trained from sunrise to sunset every day for almost a month, and prepared for evolution.

On the night that he finally decided to evolve, he traveled deep into the forest to make sure that the red and gold one didn't see him evolve. Since he had to wait for the Hoothoot that he had forced to bring him a thunderstone, he listened to the sounds of the forest. But while he was listing, he heard part of a conversation in strange voices "…Pikachu…strange…capture…" As the voices faded into the night, Spark wondered what language they were speaking in, it certainly wasn't Pokémon. But these thoughts were interrupted as the Hoothoot arrived with the thunderstone. With great anticipation, he watched the owl Pokémon drop the item and quickly fly away, hoping that the Pikachu wouldn't electrocute him because he was late. But he needn't have worried as Spark was staring at the rock that would evolve him, wondering how this mere stone would change his form.

But thoughts of what he came here to do, broke him from that spell, and with only a moments hesitation, Spark reached out and touched the stone. He felt the effects instantly, as he was enveloped in a harsh, white light. His feet grew longer as he grew bigger, while he noticed that his fur turned orange and his cheeks yellow. The last change that evolution had given him, was that his tail had grown longer, and his ears bigger. After his body stopped changing, he just stood there, relishing the new found power coursing through him. He was going to enjoy challenging Thunder again in the morning.


Chapter 3:

Thunder awoke to cries of wonder and excitement. Deciding that the first thing he would do that morning would be to find out what all the commotion was about, instead of going back to sleep. He walked out of his nest. What he saw surprised him so much, he almost fainted from shock. There, in the center of a circle of admiring Pikachus, was a Raichu. It was Spark. If the oddly colored leader hadn't of hear the rest of the clan addressing the Raichu by name, he would never have guessed that Spark would've chosen to evolve. Seeing that his leader was awake, the newly evolved Spark walked over to him. "Ready for a re-match?" he asked.

"Ready to win, if that's what you mean" Thunder replied. For a while, the two electric rodents just glared at each other, then, Thunder set the time and place for the battle. "Dusk, the clearing, winner takes position of leader."

"Oh, I'll be there" Spark said with a widening grin "I'll be ready to take my place as the new leader." But Thunder had already walked away, not hearing the Raichu's final words.

"I can't believe that Spark evolved just to beat me!" Thunder exclaimed to Lightning a few hours later "But he won't, evolving won't make him win."

But his girlfriend wasn't so sure. "Aren't you just a little worried?" she inquired "He seems to have leveled up a few times, and how can you be sure that he evolved just to beat you?" But Thunder just scoffed at her words, a little angry that she doubted him.

"Mark my words" he said "Spark will lose faster than last time, and why else would he evolve?" Then Thunder ran off, deeper into the forest to go have fun in a near by pond until it was time for the battle.

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Chapter 4



Chapter 4:

When dusk cast its long shadows over the deciduous forest the Pikachus called their home, all of the clan had gathered around the dusty clearing, waiting for the battle to start. As Thunder prepared to fight, he saw Pidgeys flying up and away from a particular section of the woods. Paying no attention to this, his gaze turned to Spark, who was anxiously awaiting the gold one to start the fight.

"I'll give you this one chance to withdraw your challenge" said Thunder. But the Raichu just wiggled his tail in a "come and get me" motion. Taking that as a no, Thunder said the words that Spark had been waiting to hear "Then let our battle begin."

Wasting no time, Spark dashed forward in a Quick Attack, but instead of counter attacking, Thunder just stood there, apparently lost in thought. Hitting his target, the Raichu slid back, raising thick clouds of dust into the air. "Thinking about what you'll do once you lose?" taunted Spark "Thinking at a time like this, you always were the odd one." But Thunder was oblivious to these taunts, apparently still thinking. Seeing this, the enraged Raichu sent a Thunder Bolt at his leader, expecting him to cry out in pain when it hit, but it never did. At that moment, the gold Pikachu snapped out of his thoughts, and seeing the Raichu's attack heading towards him, sent a Thunder Bolt of his own at it.

If Spark was confident that his attack would stop, in not go through his leader's, he was wrong. Thunder's attack ripped through his like tissue paper, hitting him squarely on the chest and sending him flying into an oak tree on the other side of the clearing. "I don't get it" he said "I'm five levels higher then you! How can your attack go through mine so easily?"

Then Thunder decided to reveal his secret, "I waited to evolve from Pichu to Pikachu for a reason. I wanted to master a move that no one else in this clan has ever bothered to. This move is Nasty Plot. It doubles my special attack, making me more powerful than you." Hearing this, Spark inwardly groaned, but instead of saying anything, he just launched himself into a Slam attack, which Thunder easily avoided. "It's not so easy to hit me now, Spark." he said, as he started using Double Team. But the Raichu just used Thunder Bolt to hit all of the Thunders that surrounded him, including the real one.

When the gold Pikachu didn't get up, Spark realized that he had gotten a critical hit, and had won out of luck, but he didn't say this to the cheering spectators as he went to celebrate his victory and position as new clan leader. In fact, the only Pikachu who went over to see if the ex-leader was alright, was Lightning.

"Thunder! Are you o.k.?" she cried. But he already was on his feet, almost steaming with rage as he snapped

"Of course I'm not o.k.! I just lost the battle and leadership over the clan! And to make it worse, I lost to Spark! So, no, I'm not o.k." Lightning just stood there, looking like she was on the verge of tears. But then her eyes hardened and without another word, dashed off into the woods, kicking dirt into Thunder's eyes. When his vision finally cleared, she was gone. But before he could chase after her, a Rattata stumbled breathlessly into the clearing, saying one thing over and over

"The Rockets are here!"

 

[Grimmjoww]

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Chapter 5:


For a while, Thunder just stared, mouth open. He couldn't believe it. Rockets, in this part of the world? How could this be? But soon he recovered, and in the fading light of dusk, he dashed off, running to warn the clan about Team Rocket. When he had almost reached the nests, he suddenly remembered about Lightning. Unless she had returned to her nest, she was still out in the woods, all alone. Skidding to a halt, he almost turned around to go get her, but he stopped himself.

"The clan must be warned first" He scolded himself "Besides, you don't even know where she is."

Continuing on his journey, he dashed into the darkened nesting site. What he saw was terrible. All of the nests had been destroyed. No one was there. He had arrived too late. Forcing himself to tear his eyes away from the wreckage, he whirled about, racing to find Lightning before she was caught as well. His paws crunched on the dead leaves that made the forest floor as the gold one raced off in the direction Lightning had went in, but before he could go far, he was lifted into the air by a net that had been cleverly concealed on the ground.

"Well look what we have here" A cruel voice said "We found ourselves that shining Pikachu that we went through the whole forest to find"

Of course, Thunder only heard gibberish as he tried to gnaw his was out of the net. But before he could even begin to bite the net, he was hit hard on the head with a tree branch, and as consciousness slipped away, he saw that he was being carried off by the Rockets, to whatever fate they had planned for him.

When the gold Pikachu woke up, he was in a cage, in the back of a moving van. Next to him was a cage that held a scared looking Eevee, but other then that, it was just empty cardboard boxes and nets.

Thunder turned to the Eevee and asked "What happened? Where are we?"

The Eevee replied "We are in the back of a van owned by Team Rocket, and you were captured by said rockets. I'm Jack, by the way"

"Thunder" the Pikachu replied, wondering how an Eevee got such a weird name. "What's going to happen to us?"

"Well" Jack answered "I will probably end up being some test subject, while you will be sent in a cage to their boss for him to look at whenever he wants. I doubt that they'll do anything to horrible to a shining Pokémon. Unlike what happened to these to brothers I heard about."

Thunder was immediately curious and had to ask Jack to tell him.

"Well" he began "First, they used some weird chemical to make a Charizard and Medicham breed with each other, and when the two eggs they got hatched, they named the Meditite and Charmander Michael and Derek for some reason. Then, to see if they could fly, since Charizard was one of the parents, they tossed them both of a cliff, and they were never heard from again. And this was all because they were bored."

Thunder's mouth dropped. How could anyone be so cruel? But just as he was thinking this, the van doors quietly opened, and in came Spark!

"Spark!" the gold Pikachu exclaimed "How did you get here?"

But Spark ignored him, quickly breaking open Thunder's and Jack's cages with a rock.

"I avoided getting caught when the Rockets attacked us. We were plowed over! The clan needs to get stronger. But anyway, I followed them and released the rest of the clan, is Lightning here?"

At this Thunder's heart sank "I had hoped that she was with you, but maybe she didn't get caught." Then, the van slowed down, apparently at its destination. Thunder, Jack and Spark jumped out of the van, and started to run, but Thunder stopped them.

"Look!" he said. There, being loaded onto a plane was a cage. And in that cage, was Lightning, looking scared, but unharmed. Thunder started to dash towards her, but Spark held him back.

"No" he hissed "They're too strong, we have to wait." But Thunder wouldn't listen, straining against the Raichu's grasp. But as he turned to attack Spark to make him let go, their escape was discovered, and the three of them had to dash away, trying to find a hiding place in the airport where they had been brought.

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Chapter 6:


Racing to find a hiding spot, the three Pokémon found an airplane hanger that was falling apart. Quickly running inside, they stopped to catch their breath as they watched the Rockets try and find them.

"That was close" Jack said "But because I'm seriously awesome, I led us to this spot"

Thunder and Spark just stared at each other, remembering how Jack was trailing them.

When dawn was starting to shed its light on the airport, Thunder and Spark crept out of their hiding spot and the airport. Running back into the forest, the gold Pikachu looked back to see if the Rockets were following them. But instead of Rockets, he saw Jack, running faster then he had when they escaped captivity, catching up with them. Once they were in the forest, Thunder asked Jack why he was still with them.

"Because" Jack answered "Spark saved me from the Rockets. They probably would have killed me. I feel that I'm in debt to Spark for saving me. Besides that" he continued "I feel much safer with you guys." In saying so, he tripped on a root and tumbled down the hill that they were on, landing in a shallow pond of radioactive waste the Rockets had dumped there. Carefully running down, Thunder and Spark waited at the edge of the pond to see what had happened to Jack. But there wasn't an Eevee in standing there. Instead, there was a blond haired, blue eyed human.

"RUN" the two Pokémon cried simultaneously, but then, the human spoke to them. But it wasn't human speech that came out of his mouth, it was Pokémon.

"Thunder, Spark, what happened to me?" the human asked in Jack's voice "I'm human! This is one of the worst things that could have happened to me." Climbing out, Jack approached the two terrified Pokémon. "The waste must have made me a human, but I'm not sure." he said. Recovering from their initial shock, Thunder and Spark decided to test out Jack's theory. Catching a Pidgey, they threw it into the pond.

"Hey" Jack exclaimed "You didn't have to do that." But when he saw the Pidgey climb out, he stopped talking. The Pidgey had two heads. The two Pokémon threw other Pokémon into the pond, but all came out horribly mutated in some way. A Rattata with three tails, a Weedle with two noses and a Mankey with four eyes. All Pokemon of the same species seemed to have similar mutations with others of that species, until they found an Eevee. Quickly catching it, they threw it into the waste. But instead of the human that they had expected, what came up was much different. It had parts of all its evolutions. The tail of an Espeon, the head of a Leafeon, the front of a Vaporeon, but back of a Glaceon, and legs of an Umbreon and Jolteon.

"Since Eevee, I mean I have such a different DNA then most Pokemon, that might be why I turned into a human and didn't turn into a weird Eevee morph. Our DNA is so unstable that all Eevees must morph into different things if submerged into radio-active waste" Jack theorized.

But Thunder was skeptical, and started going on about how everything else was morphed the same as others of its species.

"See if you can speak human!" Spark cut in, ending the golden Pikachu's rant "If you can, then following the Rockets will be so much more easy.

"Hey! I was talking" Thunder said indignantly.

"It's easier." Jack corrected, cutting Thunder off again "Not more easy, easier. "What ever" Spark replied, not caring "Now that you're human, you can probably read human letters" he continued "We can break into the control room and see if we can find were Lightning was shipped to."

Thunder started to go on about how everyone was cutting him off, but then what Spark said sunk in. He was impressed, he didn't think that Spark could think up an idea like that. But instead of saying so, he just said "Yeah, let's go." and let Spark and Jack off the hook . For now. As they started running back to the Rocket's airport, Jack tripped, not used to walking on two legs. Going to help him up, the Raichu said to the Pikachu "First we have to teach Mr. Klutz here how to walk on two legs." Sighing, Thunder prepared himself for the task, the only thing that gave him patience was the thought that soon, they would find where Lightning was taken, and then they would go rescue her.


Chapter 7:



Chapter 7:



"Let's try it again" Spark said to Jack on the fifth day after he had transformed into a human. "I'm trying" he replied "You have no idea how hard it is to run as a human. I keep tripping. What if I fall and break my head open?" After getting walking down, Thunder and Spark decided that if Jack couldn't run as a human, he would get caught, and possibly killed when they broke into the Rocket's airport's control room to see where Lightning was taken.

"Listen Jack, every day that goes by makes Thunder more and more mad at you. You don't know what it must be like to know that your girlfriend is captive by people as evil as Team Rocket." "It's madder and madder" Jack wearily corrected "And he could cut me some slack. I've been running and falling all day. And yesterday. And the day before that. Not like it's my fault for her getting captured."

Spark started to respond, but Jack shushed him "Here he comes. Just pretend that I've made progress today and he might not be so mad." Just after he shushed Spark, Thunder walked into the makeshift campsite, holding four apples in a stolen bag on his back.

"We're going to have to move the campsite soon" he remarked "Food is getting harder and harder to find around here, and I found a disaster waiting to happen over by the cliff we found. The Rockets have put land mines and pools of acid there. But if SOMEBODY would hurry up, we could be out of here by now." he said, his tone turning icy, but then, looking at Jack, he smiled. But his smile wasn't the friendly kind. It was the kind that looked nasty and evil at the same time.

"I know how to get you to run, Jack. Every time you fail, I'll give you a little shock. The shocks won't really hurt at first, just sting, but each time you fail, they'll get stronger and stronger. You think that will motivate you?" Not even responding, Jack quickly got to his feet and ran past the Pikachu, fear written across his face.

"Wow!" Spark exclaimed "That got him moving." "But the idiot is heading straight for the traps. Why did I get stuck with two morons?" he asked no one in particular. Groaning, he ran after him with Spark close behind.

By the time they caught up, sunset was throwing its crimson rays over the Pikachu and Raichu as they walked the last few yards to Jack, who was just staring at something that they couldn't see. "I guess he can run now." Spark commented to Thunder, who just sighed. When they finally reached the blond human, Thunder started lecturing him, but seeing that he was still staring at something, not listening to him, the gold Pikachu turned to see what it was. There, standing on a ridge next to the cliff, Was Entei, Raikou and Suicune. Observing that the two Pokémon had finally noticed them, Entei spoke.

"At last we have found you" his voice sounding like an erupting volcano "We have come with information, and to help." Now Suicune spoke, her voice sounding like the wind that the humans derived her nickname from "As Entei said, we have come to tell things, and to help you on your journey. Long ago, Mew made a prophecy about you. What it was, we cannot tell you." Now Raikou started were Suicune left off, his voice sounding like rolling thunder "But we can tell you where you need to go. You must leave here and travel to another land. This land is called South America. Once there, find Mew in the jungles of Guyana, there you will find how to get your loved one back. Now, all of us must rest, for tomorrow we will start to travel."

"It's like this is a story," the Pikachu thought "Now, they will turn and majestically race to their camp until dawn, when they will come and get us, and we can start our journey to Guyana."

But that didn't happen. Turning, the three Legendaries started to run, but that's when the disaster happened. It all started when Raikou stepped on a land mine. The mine exploded, instantly obliterating the legendary Pokémon. Startled, Suicune took a step back, fell off the ridge and down the cliff, instantly dying when her body smashed into the rocks below. Now Entei was nervous, and not wanting to die a horrible death like Suicune and Raikou, he cautiously stepped forward, not looking down. But it wasn't ground that he stepped on. The poor Natu never knew what hit it, as its life was squished out. Angry at Entei, the Natu's father teleported the doomed Pokémon over the deepest pool of acid that he could find and dropped him in. Quickly dissolving, Entei let out one last scream before he was killed by the acid.

As the three friends watched the dead Pokémon's bones dissolve, Spark said, "Well they sure were a big help." And after making that sarcastic comment, walked away.

Now Entei was nervous, and not wanting to die a horrible death like Suicune and Raikou, he cautiously stepped forward, not looking down. But it wasn't ground that he stepped on. The poor Natu never knew what hit it, as its life was squished out. Angry at Entei, the Natu's father teleported the doomed Pokémon over the deepest pool of acid that he could find and dropped him in. Quickly dissolving, Entei let out one last scream before he was killed by the acid.

As the three friends watched the dead Pokémon's bones dissolve, Spark said, "Well they sure were a big help." And after making that sarcastic comment, walked away.

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Chapter 8:




After witnessing the deaths of the three legendary Pokémon, Thunder, Spark and Jack returned to camp, and upon returning, started planning how they would break into the airport the next day. "I think that we should just go in and hit everybody with Thunderbolts." Spark suggested, but Jack and Thunder immediately objected and started lecturing about what would happen if they had a Ground type Pokémon.

"O.K, O.K, bad idea." The Raichu shouted, not wanting to have the other two tell him how stupid he was. They sat in silence for a while, then, Thunder had an idea.

"How about this" he started "Spark and I capture some Rocket, then Jack can take the uniform and sneak in, find what we need, and get back out without ever being noticed. By the time they find the moron, who we will have tied up and gagged, we'll be long gone."

"It's the perfect plan." Spark decided "It doesn't sound so hard either. We just need to ambush a Rocket, what could be easier?"

Of course, Jack didn't agree "There are a hundred things that could go wrong" he started "And I don't see you two offering to do the hard part. What if they find out I'm not one of them? I'm not an Eevee anymore, so unless one of you comes with me, I'm not doing it. Why should I help you guys anyway?"

"Reason number one" the said the gold Pikachu, who was starting to get angry "Spark will come with you and pretend that he's your Pokémon. Reason number two. If you don't do it, I'll see how much electricity your body can take before you faint. That good enough for you?"

After that thinly veiled threat, Thunder grabbed the other two as best he could and started in the direction of the airport.

A few hours later, they were lying under a bush, waiting for their opportunity to abduct a Rocket grunt. Seeing a guard who faintly resembled Jack in height and appearance, the Pikachu and Raichu jumped out of the bush and used Thunder Bolt on Rocket, immediately knocking him unconscious and dragged him out of sight of anyone in the airport. Taking off his uniform, they put it on Jack. The black hat fit, but the black boots, pants, gloves and the shirt with the red Team Rocket "R" were all slightly too big.

"Oh well" Thunder said "Unless we kill this one, which would be fun, we can't get another one, so you're stuck with stuff that's to big for you, enjoy."

Saying nothing, Jack and Spark left to do their task, while Thunder tied and gagged the captured Grunt. "I might as well have a little fun with him while I wait." he thought to himself as he picked up pebbles to throw at his prisoner.

Meanwhile, Jack and Spark were having a hard time finding the airport's control room. Luckily for them, the huge, grey hangars were mostly abandoned with the exception of the few Grunts who had been left to guard them. Finally seeing a smaller, tall, grey building at the far end of the hangars, Jack and Spark headed towards it. Entering it, then climbing the concrete stairs, they got to the control room. Walking towards the one Rocket that was in there, Jack decided to ask where Lightning was taken.

"Hey, do you know where Lightning, I mean that Pikachu was taken?" Without turning around, the Grunt answered "Yeah, it was shipped off to HQ back in Kanto" then started eating a sandwich that was made of some unidentifiable meat. Then, Jack made the mistake of asking where HQ was. "If you were a real Rocket" the Grunt said, turning around "You would know that. Muk, make sure that this impostor stays right where he is." Throwing the Pokeball, he finished turning around, but all that was there was a pair of boots and a swinging door. Starting to run after them, he slipped on his Muk, who had just come out of its Pokeball, and fell backwards onto the control panel, accidentally smashing through the glass that encased the alarm button and hitting it with his head. Of coarse, he got multiple cuts to his head, and as the high pitched whine of the siren began, Muk crawled over to see if the unfortunate Rocket was dead. Seeing that he wasn't, Muk crawled away, but not before some of his poison seeped into his trainer's cuts. As he crawled away, Muk realized that he could escape the cruelty of the Rockets and slithered out the still swinging door and down the stairs. Exiting the building, he got outside just in time for the guards chasing Jack and Spark to slip on him and break some bones. Overjoyed at their bad luck, the Pokémon left the airport and entered the forest, crawling past Thunder hiding spot as he escaped the Rockets forever.

But Jack and Spark weren't so lucky as to escape without some Grunts chasing them. Dodging the Muk, two of the guards chased Jack and Spark until they reached the forest. Getting fried with a double Thunder Bolt, they fell at the feet of the two electric mouse Pokémon.

"Can't you do anything right?" Thunder angrily asked Jack and Spark as they started to enter the forest "Your job was simple. Get in, find what you need and get out. For almost getting caught you better know where Lightning is." Once they told the gold Pikachu where she was, he started sprinting towards the nearest human city, leaving the other two the choice of either running some more, or staying behind with the two Rocket corpses.

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Chapter 9:




Dusk was falling and the Pidgeys had stopped singing and gone back to their nests when Thunder finally stopped so Spark and Jack could catch up.

"Well" he asked as they collapsed, gasping for breath, "You think this is a good spot to stop for the night?"

"I think any spot is good as long as we can rest" Spark and Jack said simultaneously.

"Well then, Jack, you get fire wood, Spark, you find food and I'll find water."

"Do I have to get fire wood?" Jack questioned "I'm so hot right now." But as he got his breath back and started looking around, he noticed that the leaves had changed from green to crimson and gold with Pachirisu scurrying about, storing food for winter. And when he saw the murderous look on the gold Pikachu's face, he slowly got up and started to plod off in search of dead wood.

Spark, in search of food, saw a tree. What was strange about this tree was the fact that it had what looked like bananas growing out of it. Quickly, he called Thunder and Jack so they could see them and eat them for dinner. By the time that they got there, Spark had already climbed up the tree and was slowly walking towards the bananas. Reaching them, he started to pull, but instead of bananas, he found himself holding a weird, sleeping Pokémon. Startled, the Raichu dropped it and watched it hit the ground with a loud crash.

"What is it?" Jack wondered.

"It" the Pokémon said "Is extremely annoyed and would blast the three of you to oblivion if it hadn't been instructed not to."

"Oh come on Uxie, we all know your head looks like a bunch of bananas." A second strange Pokémon commented as it floated out of some bushes.

"It could've been worse" said a third "They could've tried to eat you. That would've been funny."

"Who are you?" Thunder asked. At this, the three Pokémon sighed.

"I am Uxie" Said the one with a yellow head "The blue headed Pokémon is Azelf, and the magenta one is Mesprit."

"Why does Uxie always have its eyes closed?" Spark asked Thunder in a rather loud whisper.

Overhearing, Uxie responded "If anyone looks into my eyes, they will forget everything." But seeing the Raichu's incredulous look, he decided to demonstrate. Picking up a nearby Pidgey with Psychic, he pointed his head at it and opened his eyes. Immediately, the Pidgey stopped breathing and quickly died. "It forgot how to breathe." Uxie explained "So that's what would have happened to you if Mew hadn't told me not to."

"Mew?" Jack asked "Isn't that the same Pokémon that sent those losers Entei, Raikou and Suicune?"

"The same." Azelf answered. "Mew was disgusted with their performance and sent us to bring you to her."

"What does Mew want with us?" Thunder asked.

But before any of the three fairies could respond, a Snorlax came crashing into the center of the Pokémon. Hungry after being woken up by a loud crash, Snorlax was delighted to see a cluster of bananas hovering in front of him. Quickly placing them in his mouth, he began to chew. Not satisfied, he looked around and saw a giant blueberry shooting an Ice Beam at him. Reaching through the Ice Beam, he grabbed it and placed it between his molars and started to crunch down on it. Still not content, the gluttonous Pokémon reached for the third thing floating in front of his face and, not caring whether or not it was food, chewed it up and swallowed it. Finally satisfied, Snorlax contentedly walked away, leaving Thunder, Spark and Jack to stare in horror at what they just witnessed.

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Chapter 10:




Several hours after the three fairies were consumed, Thunder, Jack and Spark were on the road again. They decided that, being unable to sleep, they were rested enough and wanted to get far away from they saw the legendaries get killed. The moon shed silvery light on the path, casting shadows the concealed a shallow pit in the dirt that Jack unwittingly stepped into. Tripping, Jack saw the hard, dirty trail rushing up to meet his face and closed his eyes. Hitting the dirt with a thud, the transformed Pokémon groaned and rolled onto his back and promptly rolled down a grassy slope into a thorn bush.

"How could you be so clumsy?" Thunder asked as he and Spark went to help Jack out of the thorns.

"I never had anything this bad happen to me before I you got near me you stupid, yellow rat!" Jack exclaimed. "I escaped the Rockets and once you got near me I got caught. Now I'm a human and have cuts all over my body. I should get far away from you. Once I am, maybe I'll change back into an Eevee and have horrible things stop happening to me."

"You asked if you could come with us and we agreed. You're staying with us until Lightning is rescued. And anyway, I'm gold, not yellow. "

"Come to think of it, why am I helping you? I should be back with my clan. And if I order you to come with me Thunder you'll either do it or be banished." Spark said.

"You're helping me find Lightning! We have to rescue her before she…" At this, the gold Pikachu trailed off and blushed. But in a few moments he got over his embarrassment and regained his anger.

The hostility, anger and resentment that the three had towards each other was so strong you could almost see it radiating off them in waves as a group of Shuppet floated down from the dark, starry sky to feast.

"Stop it!" And with that cry came a power blast of psychic energy. Forcing the Shuppet away, the powerful attack immobilized Thunder, Jack and Spark and put an end to their brief fight. Stepping out of the long shadows the setting moon made, a Gardevoir slowly walked toward the three.

"What I want to know is." She began. "What I want to know is…"

"Get on with it!" Shouted Spark. "You said that twice already."

After shooting the obnoxious Raichu an icy glare the Gardevoir started speaking again.

"What I was going to say before I was rudely interrupted was why are you fighting? It seems idiotic to me. Now I can feel that you still have hostility towards each other, so you will all join minds with me while I use Calm Mind. After doing that, all of you might not be so irrational and stop fighting."

"There are other words for fighting." Jack chimed in. "Sparring is one, warring is another. Oooohhhhhhh, combating is a good one. And we can't and or won't join minds with you. Now let's see. What's a good synonym for mind?"

"Will you just shut up already?" Thunder questioned. Looking at the Gardevoir as best he could without moving, he apologized to her. "This is what I have to put up with every day. I'm Thunder by the way."

"Helen." Was the only response the golden Pikachu received as the obviously irritated walked into the forest towing her captives behind her.

"Why do I keep meeting Pokémon with such strange names?" Thunder thought to himself as they arrived at a circular clearing, populated only by small, leafless bushes and dead, gray tree stumps at the center and edges.

"Now," Helen started to say as she settled down onto the center stump. "I'm going to link my mind with each of you."

After saying this, the Gardevoir closed her eyes and started linking her mind with the three unwilling participants. Immediately Thunder felt his mind being laid open to Helen. This should've been fine, for the Gardevoir had started using Calm Mind and was paying no attention to the Pikachus thoughts and could not have her thoughts seen, but Thunder felt two more presences looking at thoughts other then their own. Thunder, Jack and Spark had somehow all been included in the same mental link, and Jack and Spark, being the nosy busybodies they are, were looking at the others thoughts. Hearing them both mentally gasp, the golden Pikachu abandoned his respect for their privacy and went to see what the other two had just seen. Looking at thoughts was not unlike reading a constantly changing book. If you wanted to see another thought you just went to the next one, but thoughts fade in a few seconds unless you keep thinking that thought, and when someone is looking through your mind almost always you will think of the thought that you don't want any one else to know and keep thinking it. So when Jack and Spark both felt the others presence, they both thought of what they didn't want the others to know most.

"I hope that stupid, yellow pain doesn't see that the real reason I'm still helping him to rescue Lightning is because I could've done it before, hesitated, and lost my chance."

Seeing this, Thunder was outraged. And seeing that he was insulted and called the wrong color for the second time within ten minutes didn't make it any better. Sending his mental probe towards Jack's consciousness, he hoped for the blond human's sake that his thoughts didn't involve insulting him.

"PLEASE don't let Thunder and Spark know that the real reason I transformed into a human must be because I'm a clone of an Eevee created by Team Rocket and genetically engineered to have strands of human DNA so I could transform between Eevee and human whenever I was commanded to. If they knew that I was really traveling with them because the Rocket at the control tower realized that their experiment must not have failed because what I look like now is exactly what I was supposed to look like when I transformed and must've told his boss so now they must be looking for me and I'm safer with them, they might leave give me up to the Rockets because they'll know that I was using them before. But if they do find out, I hope they also know that now I consider them as friends. Obnoxious, not-as-smart-as-me friends, but still friends.

Feeling the other two's presence in his mind, Thunder started to hope that they wouldn't find out that the reason why they had to hurry was because soon she might….

"ENOUGH!" He roared. Deciding to forcefully end the mental link between the four, the golden Pikachu released a huge Discharge. "Wow." He thought. "Since when can I do that attack?" Then he looked at what the electric attack had done. All the bushes in the clearing were burning, and the normally brown bark of the trees all around him had turned into various shades of gray and black. The stumps that they had been sitting on, as well as all the other stumps in the clearing, had been obliterated and the occupants had fallen to the ground. Looking at the three other beings in that were in range of his attack, he saw that only two of them were relatively unharmed. Spark, being an electric type and a higher level then Thunder, was barely affected by Discharge. Helen, who had been raising her Special Defense with Calm Mind over and over, was also in pretty good shape. Jack, however, was in a completely different state. Unprotected by either type, attack, or anything else had taken the full brunt of the huge, electrical charge that had come at him and was twitching on the ground with blackened skin and the strong odor of burning flesh. Still a little stunned, the golden Pikachu was still standing on the charred remains of his stump when Helen and Spark were rushing over to the fried human to see if he was O.K. After seeing that most of the black on him was the ashes of the Team Rocket uniform that Jack had never actually taken off, and that he was just knocked out and not dead, Spark turned to the Gardevoir with his paws clenched and his teeth bared.

"Why were all of us in the same mental link? You said each of us would have our own link and you messed up. How could you be so stupid? Now the stupid yellow pain-in-the-neck knows why I'm helping him and can use it to guilt me into continuing to help."

"For the last time. I'M GOLD, NOT YELLOW!"

"And while we're yelling at the obnoxious Raichu, I'll point out that this is the very reason I'm nocturnal. When I slept at night and was awake in the day like most other Gardevoir, whenever I was in a group I would make mistakes. So realizing that being social just wasn't for me, I started transforming myself from a diurnal creature to a nocturnal one. And if that stupid orange rat would think for a moment, he might realize that I obviously haven't talked to anyone in a while and haven't done anything like that before. So I messed up and put you all in the same link. Satisfied?"

"Great," Spark moaned not to quietly. "ANOTHER smart aleck."

Fed up with him, Helen used Psychic on the idiotic Raichu and repeatedly slammed him into the nearest tree again and again without any signs of stopping.

"Can you not kill him?" Thunder asked. "I want a turn to torture him."

"Don't torture him, we may need him for later." This was Jack, just becoming conscious from the electrical blast that had, and still, caused his body pain whenever he moved. Turning to Thunder he said. "I'd offer an apology for not telling you about what I am sooner, but considering the fact that you just caused me an immense amount of pain, I'll forget about the apology I should owe you and accept your apology."

"Well, if he's talking like that already, he's fine. And, as usual, he's right. You should stop killing Spark."

"Fine." None to gently lowering the unconscious Raichu to the ground, Helen turned towards Jack and said. "The only one of you that I actually feel sorry for my mistake towards is Thunder. You, Jack, are obnoxious, but aren't as bad as that pathetic excuse for a Raichu. I hope that you'll be rid of his idiocy one day." Then saying goodbye to the two, the Gardevoir Teleported herself away to a location unknown to Thunder and Jack.

"Did you hear that?" Thunder asked, his ears perking up.

"Hear what?"

"It sounded like someone slapping their hand on their face as hard as they could. There it is again! But now it sounds different, like they're banging their head against a tree."

"You're imagining it. Now help me move Spark to a better location for sleeping and let's get some shuteye. It's been a long day and dawn is in approximately seven and a half hours." Groaning, the Pikachu hurried to move the unconscious Raichu to a better location so Jack would shut up.

After they had made camp under an oak tree and Thunder was lying in a pile of fallen leaves he had collected as a temporary nest, he saw that Jack was still awake, and let his curiosity get the best of him.

"Jack, if you ever transform back into an Eevee, are you going to find other Eevees to be with?"

"Yeah." He replied. "Once I find enough, Eevees will rule the world. With me as their leader, who will be able to stop us?"

"Pikachus. Sooner Pikachus rule the world then Eevees." And with both of them chuckling at that thought, Thunder and Jack fell into a dreamless sleep. That is, until Spark started to snore so loudly that the small cavern they were in echoed with the sound. Waking up, they stuffed the Raichus mouth with leaves and went back into their slumber, leaving Spark to spit dead leaves out of his mouth.

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Chapter 11:




It was noon by the time Thunder, Jack and Spark started walking towards their destination, a human city, again. Jack and Spark were flinching with every step they took, Jack due to several first and second degree burns he had received from getting hit with Discharge, Spark because of bruises he had gotten from being slammed repeatedly against a tree, so both of them were going slower then Thunder, who had escaped all type of injury the night before.

"Hurry up." Thunder called to the other two. "We still have an hour to walk before we stop for lunch."

"That's easy for you to say." Jack replied. "You didn't get hit by a powerful electric attack and get multiple burns."

"You didn't get slammed against a tree either."

"That was your own dumb fault Spark." Thunder and Jack said in unison. Looking at each other, they burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Spark demanded.

Still in unison, Thunder and Jack grinned and said. "You know what they say. Great minds think alike. Obviously we both have great minds and you don't."

Seeing that they were teasing him, the Raichu ignored what they were saying and sat down on pile of brown and orange rocks. "I like the color of these rocks." He commented. "They're orange. How many orange rocks do you see?"

"Get off the rocks and keep walking." Jack ordered. "You don't see me sitting down, do you? Ahhhhhhhhhhh…"

Slipping on a patch of ice, Jack's rear met the hard, unforgiving mix of rocks and dirt he had been walking on just a few moments earlier. "Why the heck is there ice here?"

"I don't know. The point is, I do see you sitting now."

"Shut up Spark."

"Shut up Jack."

"Maybe if you both weren't to busy telling each other to shut up, you would notice that it's getting colder, the pile of rocks Spark is sitting on is moving, and there's a thumping sound that's getting louder."

Pebbles were now bouncing a good three inches into the air as a tall, beeping silver Pokémon with seven glowing red dots that appeared to be its eyes stepped out of the forest and onto the path. Its body was solid metal. The air grew colder still as another beeping Pokémon approached. This one, a bluish beeping, Pokémon that had seven yellow dots for eyes, its body seemed to be made of solid ice. Spark was hurled to the ground as a third large Pokémon with seven red eyes rose from the ground. Its body made solely out of orange and brown rocks, the three friends realized that it was the rock pile that Spark had been sitting on, and that it made a formidable trio with the other two. Thunder, Jack and Spark soon found out that the Pokémon's only form of communication was beeping, booping and wild gestures with their long arms. After sitting and staring for five long, boring minutes, Thunder finally grew tired of the annoying sounds the three things made and started to walk past them.

"Come on you two. We can't sit around all day trying to see what these things want."

Sidestepping around the icy one, the Pikachu found his way blocked by the rock one. Sidestepping again, he found his way blocked again, this time by the steel being.

"O.K, there are only three of them. If I go around them again the path should be clear." But when he went around the gray thing, he found the ice thing again. Deciding that going around didn't work, and blasting would, Thunder used Nasty Plot a couple of times.

"Uh, Thunder. You do realize that these beeping idiots are probably ten or more levels ahead of you, don't you?"

"And how do you get that number Jack?"

"Because they're completely unafraid of your cheeks shooting off electricity."

"As you said, they're idiots. And you might want to get under cover, I'm about to use Discharge."

Looking at Spark with panic in his eyes, Jack grabbed him and ran towards the trees and hid himself and the Raichu behind a huge fir. Looking out from behind the sappy trunk, he saw the three creatures getting blasted and quickly pulled his head back behind the evergreen before he got hit by any part of the attack. After waiting a few seconds, he realized that the massive electrical blast was over and poked his head out from behind the tree again.

"You'll never beat them like that." Jack called. But Thunder was to busy looking at a patch of air that looked like it was rippling. Suddenly, the whole area lit up brightly for a second and a man with a black raincoat appeared from out of nowhere.

The three Regis stood in an even more defensive stand as the man, floating in their, started to have glowing eyes and looked around.

Hooded man: "Nice electric attack. But you're weak so it's no surprise that you didn't do much damage! Those things are called Regirock, Regice and Registeel by the way."

The man removed the hood and everyone could see the face of a thirty or forty-ish year old man with blond hair and deep green eyes.

"How do you dare to call me weak!" Thunder said and launched another Discharge with all his might. This attack was really powerful and everything that got hit was scorched.

After the dust had settled, Thunder looked around, breathing heavily from putting so much energy in his attack. He thought that he had taught that creepy guy a lesson but saw to his surprise that nothing got hurt. The icy creature took the blow again and the man had absorbed all the electricity and put it into a ball of energy.

"As I said...Weak"
The ball of absorbed energy that the man held in the palm of his hand, was crushed by just closing his hand.
"I don't have time to waste on minor life forms like you and your friends..."

The man threw black balls of energy towards Thunder and the tree where Jack and Spark were hiding. But before they hit, the rocky creature summoned some rocks to interfere with the man's attack. The balls exploded on contact and created a small black hole that sucked up all rocks from the attack before disappearing.

"Interesting move...Let's see if you are worth it... But first... why don't you watch from the side lines and see what true power really is..."

Spark, Thunder and Jack got a purple glow and started to get pulled into the air. They could not move a single muscle and were forced to watch the goings on.

Then, the man tried the same attack with the black spheres of energy but this time towards the three elemental creatures.

The metal one jumped in front of the other two and used Zap Cannon to hit the spheres before they could reach them.

"Hmmm, maybe something a bit faster...or more powerful...that hits them all..."

The man started laughing menacingly. This only geared the three Regis to attack with Ice Beam, Zap Cannon and Ancient Power.

The man now had to move from his spot in the air, absorbed the energy from Zap Cannon and used that energy to stop Ancient Power while dodging Ice Beam.

"Let's see if you can survive this..."

The man daringly teleported himself in front of Regirock, appearing with a glowing fist. He punched the Regi with the glowing fist, on its head, crushing it to smithereens.

Then, the other two tried to attack the man from up close, but the man teleported behind them.

"This...is... . gonna, GOOD!"

He kicked Registeel's rear so hard that it was aerial for a little while and summoned a huge pit full of starving Aron, Lairon and Aggron.

Thunder, Jack and Spark watched in utter horror while Registeel beeped as it was consumed by the hungry Pokémon.

Regice turned around and used Blizzard. That attack actually hit the man but it didn't freeze it up.

"I'm not chilling out because you want me to!"

Then, the man unleashed a rain of black spheres of energy that were impossible for Regice to avoid. Regice got hit and was sucked into the vortex.

The man looked up at the three floating bodies. "The show is not over yet..." And the man teleported the three into space with a strange barrier so that they could breath and be warm.

It looked like they were very close to the sun because it was pretty hot and there was a very big source of light near them.

Then the man appeared next to them. He pointed at something and when Jack, Spark and Thunder looked, Regice was spit out of a black hole and was slowly floating towards the sun. It beeped while it was slowly melting from the utter heat produced by the sun.

"Hello and...goodbye..."
Jack, Thunder and Spark were send into a black hole. While in it, they regained control over their bodies but were spinning rapidly.

And suddenly, they were spit out, launched at an incredible speed, still twirling. Fortunately, they ended up in a big lake; otherwise the impact would have surely killed them. Landing with a huge splash, they quickly resurfaced and swam to the shallows.

"Who the heck was the insane murderer?"

"I don't know Spark, I just don't know. Why are you just standing there staring into space again Thunder? Please don't tell me he's coming back."

Snapping out of it, the Pikachu started walking away. "I was staring because I leveled up quite a few time just now and don't know why. I now can use Light Screen, and I can also tell you two to start walking towards that city again. Do you really want to be here if that psycho comes back?"

Heeding his words, Jack scrambled up the sandy bank and onto the grass on all fours before getting to his feet and running after him. Spark didn't bother to get on two legs and just ran on four, quickly overtaking Jack and catching up the Thunder. Rising from all fours, Spark waited with Thunder for Jack to catch up.

"I still don't know why I leveled up." Thunder commented to no one in particular as he and Spark watched the human dash towards them. '"Not that I'm complaining, but it's just a little weird. What do you think Jack?" He had caught up and, of course, had an answer.

"If… you… wait…me… catch… breath… I…tell… you." He panted. In a few minutes he recovered and went on with his explanation. "You attacked the Regis before they were killed, right?"

"Right."

"Well, you participated in the battle and therefore when the Regis died received half of the Experience Points they gave out when they were defeated. And since, as I told you before you attacked them, they were at a way higher level then you were, they gave off a massive amount of Experience Points, enough to level you up a few times. Right now, you're probably level forty-two or forty-three."

"Well that does explain it, now get moving. We're almost at the city and I'd like to get there before dark."

And with that command, he started walking towards human civilization, a human airport and, hopefully, Lightning.

Re: The Thunder Tribe

Chapter 12: (Part A)





"Why me?" Jack cried for about the hundredth time, his eyes lifted towards the puffy charcoal clouds.

"Because. Do you need a better reason?" Thunder asked his hope of enjoying the silence of pre-dawn crushed.

"I know," Jack continued, oblivious to the answer he got, "That we waited all night for a human to walk by. I know that I needed clothes so I can go into the human city. But why did we have to steal a girl's clothes?"

Impatiently, Thunder explained that after spending a chilly October night hiding behind wet rocks, he and Spark didn't want to wait any longer.

When Jack started to whine about the size and quality of the fabric, and asking how anyone could walk with the heels of the shoes raised so high, the Pikachu almost killed him. Then the griping human raised another of the countless problems he had with the clothes.

"But what if one of the humans thinks that I'm a girl?"

But this time, before Thunder could open his mouth, Spark answered.

"They won't. The only thing that let's humans know which human is which gender are the raised heels on the things on your feet. As you saw with the Rockets, that was all they had. The humans will look at your feet and think that you're a girl. Then they'll look at you and see that you're just a weird guy who wants people to think that you're a girl and start backing off. So there!"

All throughout the explanation the smug look on Spark's face had been growing bigger, but now it transformed into an expression of triumph.

Spinning around on his long toes, the Raichu started marching towards the city, tail waving high in the air, the other two just stood with their mouths hanging open.

Turning to Thunder, Jack said, "He really is an idiot, isn't he?"

"You have no idea. It's a Chu like him that gives all the others a bad name."

Still looking at Thunder, Jack started to walk again, asking whether or not they should just leave Spark behind. Because he was looking at the Pikachu, he didn't see what he tripped over.

Now lying face down in the dirt, the human wondered what tripped him. Getting to his feet, he turned around, voicing his question.

"Me." Was the indignant reply, "I know I stopped in the middle of the path where you were sure to trip on me, but you should watch were you're going."

"Spark! Why did you stop if you knew I was going to trip on you? Now my forehead is bleeding and it's your fault." Jack snapped, swiping at the blood that was trickling into his eyes.

When Thunder asked him the same thing, Spark just looked confused.

"I don't know." He said. "It's like someone, somewhere, who can control my actions had a reason for why I'd stop here, but because he wanted to get something finished he got rid of it and just left me here for the sole purpose of bringing pain to one person and amusement to others."

"Well," was Thunder's cold reply, "That was an elaborate excuse. But every second I stand around and let your imagination supply you with idiocy is a second I could have used walking towards that city. So stop being an idiot and let's go."

"Fine, my forehead has stopped bleeding anyway. I'll be fine as long as somebody doesn't trip me again." Jack said, glaring at Spark.

"But I told you. It's like someone stopped me there just so you'd be in pain."

"That's it!"

His patience gone, Jack started to tear apart the Raichu's insane reasoning. For a second Thunder was tempted to hit them both with a Thunder Bolt, but the feeling passed and he just let out a resigned sigh. It was going to be a long day.

"Well? You said that people would say that you're a girl. Nobody has said a word."

"Shut up Spark. We've passed two humans who were both looking the other way. Two doesn't qualify as people."

The arguing grew more intense while they walked, Thunder trailing a few feet behind, his eyes closed and a pained expression on his face. Continuing to walk without sight, the Pikachu didn't know that Spark had stopped until he hit the dazed rodent.

"Why do you keep doing that?" Thunder demanded, his anger quickly growing.

"I had that feeling again," Spark said.

Hearing that, the enraged Pikachu nearly threw him into a wall. The only thing that stopped him was his curiosity. After a few seconds, curiosity won the battle between it and satisfaction, so Thunder queried the Raichu.

"Well," Spark said, "I'm just getting this feeling that Jack was going to throw those things on his feet at the next humans he saw, but something happened and he wouldn't have until I said all that."

"I'll throw them anyway and see what happens." The former Eevee said. Then, under his breath, "I've been wanting to ditch them the moment I put them on, but you guys stopped me."

Removing the offending footwear, Jack threw them towards the nearest human. One flew past its head, but the other one struck it, the extended heel burying itself in its neck. The unfortunate human clutched at the shoe, then fell, never to get up.

Everyone on the street froze for a minute, then the realization of what just happened sunk in. Half of the humans ran screaming from the body, shoving their way past each other, the other half circled the three friends in a tightening circle, eager to make them pay for the murder.

Just as Thunder, Jack and Spark thought that they were going to die, the image of a floating pink kitten appeared and teleported them away, leaving the mob behind.

When Thunder opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was Jack and Spark, both curled up into tight balls on the ground. The next thing he saw was a giant pink Pokémon and a giant blue Pokémon, both following Jack and Spark's example. Then, the blue one whispered something to the other.

"Oh CRUD Palkia, what are they doing here?"

"Shut up Dialga, maybe they'll go away."

The Pikachu was confused. Walking up the two giant, quivering ninnies, he poked the blue one, asking it what it was.

"Oh no, It touched me! I'm going to DIE!"

"Maybe not Dialga, but if you do, I'm taking your diamond. It's so much better than this stupid pearl."

Uncurling, and then turning to face Thunder, the pink and white Pokémon proclaimed,

"I am Palkia, and the blue wimp is Dialga. Now, what do you want? And make it quick, every Legendary Pokémon that's been around you for to long has had a gruesome death, and we don't want the same to happen to us."

"Well," Jack said, having uncurled from his ball, "We need to get to Mew…"

"Done!"

Tearing a portal through space open, Palkia flung the three friends through, snapping it shut immediately after they were gone.

"Phew, they're gone. You can straiten out now Dialga."

"Good. I thought that they'd never leave."

"They may have left, but now I'm here." A sinister, disembodied voice said.

At the sound of the voice both Palkia and Dialga jumped a foot into the air, crashing down with enough force to make the entirety of the Spear Pillar tremble.

Turning to the shadowy portal that had just appeared behind them, the deities yelled in unison at the Pokémon that had come out of it.

"Well, they're gone and we're not dead." It said.

"That's true Giratina, but I was touched and Palkia touched them. Their curse might still be around."

"Oh stop it you ninny." Palkia and Giratina said.

Meanwhile, deep under Spear Pillar…

"You'll never get away with whatever it is you're doing!" A sweating trainer said to a Rocket Grunt, "Go! Infernape!"

Then to himself, "Why am I wearing this stupid winter coat around all this lava? I must be an idiot."

"On the contrary, we already have. Go! Weezing! Use Poison Gas and kill that stupid ape with your methane!" The Rocket ordered.

The trainer's eye grew as large as quarters as the wall of gas shot towards the flames on the ape Pokémon. It was the last thing he saw.

Dialga wildly swung his head from side to side, and then asked, "Did you hear something?"

"No, I didn't. Did you Giratina?"

"Maybe, but that might be Dialga's paranoia rubbing off on me."

"I'm telling you guy's I heard something. If we die because you refused to even look, Palkia, I'm going to go back in time and kill you."

"How would you manage to do that?" Palkia chuckled, "You'd be dead to."

Dialga paused, trying to figure out a way to kill Palkia if he was dead as well, then he said,

"Maybe I should kill you now."

"But then you might die because I'm not around to check."

Trying to think of a way around this logic made Dialga's brain hurt. The more he thought about it, the more it hurt. Pretty soon, Palkia and Giratina could feel the heat coming off of the temporal deity's head.

"Dialga, stop it. You're going to hurt yourself!" Palkia quickly said, his eyes widening.

Thinking that Palkia just wanted him to stop finding a loophole, Dialga redoubled his effort.

He got another minute of thinking in before his brain exploded with a muffled thump.

Palkia and Giratina stared with unconcealed horror as grey fluid started dripping from the dead Pokémon's nose and onto the stone floor.

"No!" Palkia cried, dropping to his knees. Sobbing, the special deity slammed his arms against the ground, unable to believe that his friend's brain exploded.

Over and over he hit the ground, asking no one in particular why this happened.

The force of his thumping was so great that several of the huge stone pillars that populated the Spear Pillar fell, burying him in several tons of stone.

Giratina was scared at this point, the curse had struck again. Desperate to save his own life, he fled into the Distortion World, flying at a few hundred miles per hour. He passed over and under floating rocks, picking up a couple of passengers along the way.

Looking at his back, Giratina saw that a human with long blond hair and another with spiky blue hair had jumped onto him and were now holding on for their lives. When he saw their eyes get even bigger than they were now, Giratina wondered why. Looking forward again, his brain registered a floating stone platform directly ahead just before he crashed through it, breaking every bone in his and the human's bodies.

Barely alive, Giratina fell onto another of the hundreds of platforms face up. The last thing felt were the humans falling into his throat and clogging his wind pipe forever.
