XPapazoglo@aol.com US Journey part 9 b Here is seond part. Told you it was long. A bit later at the lifeguard tower everyone (Jessie and James were there too) discussed about there situation. ‰*ÏSo what exactly is going on with those Makorons?‰** Ash asked. ‰*ÏWell to be frank, we don‰*ªt know. Even though a Makoron is viscous and will attack humans they usually live far form shore deep with in the ocean. But over the past few days they been acting up. So far we can drive them off the sound, but more just keep appearing.‰** ‰*ÏBefore the Makorons attacked us, one of them was chasing a Dollyfin. Do you know why?‰** Misty asked. ‰*ÏA Dollyfin? I don‰*ªt see why it would be following them. A Dollyfin would usually be staying away form a Makoron, Maybe this one was trying to defend it‰*ªs territory.‰** Suddenly the radio went off. ‰*ÏCome in station three. Come in station three. This is officer Jenny of the coast portal. Our radar have shown that there is large fleet of Makorons heading to your sector. You know what to do. We‰*ªll send help as soon as we can.‰** ‰*ÏMan they won‰*ªt make it here in time. Can you guys help me out.‰** ‰*ÏSure we will.‰** Ash responded. ‰*ÏPika.‰** ‰*ÏBut we‰*ªre not hurting them are we?‰** Misty asked. ‰*ÏNo. The sound wave just drives them off with out hurting them.‰** ‰*ÏWell as long as we don‰*ªt hurt them I‰*ªm in.‰** ‰*ÏOk then. I‰*ªll take you to the boats.‰** Rick lead everyone down to the docks. It ended with Rick and Isaac on one boat, Misty and Ash on another, and Jessie and James on the third boat. ‰*ÏOkay when we get in range someone has to turn on the speakers. And remember that the speakers must be facing the Makorons.‰** ‰*ÏIs that so it will work properly?‰** Jessie asked over the radio. ‰*ÏNo. That in case it doesn‰*ªt work, so you can run for your lives.‰** Everyone minus Rick facefaults. Soon they reached the Makoron fleet. They turned on the speaker and the loud noise started driving them off. (Authors note: I do know that for this idea to work the speaker have to be underwater, but this is a fanfic and if I want to suspend laws of nature I‰*ªll do it) ‰*ÏIt‰*ªs working were driving them off.‰** James said seeing the Makorons swimming away. Suddenly something struck the speakers on Jessie and James boat. ‰*ÏWhat was that? James check it out.‰** James went over to the busted speaker and pulled out a large metal rod. ‰*ÏIt‰*ªs a harpoon.‰** ‰*ÏA harpoon? Where did it come form.‰** Ash said form the radio. Suddenly a large sub appeared in the middle of the Makoron fleet. ‰*ÏIt can‰*ªt be.‰** Jessie gasped. ‰*ÏI thought that was destroyed.‰** ‰*ÏWhat is that.‰** Rick said. ‰*ÏThat the team rocket Gyarados submarine.‰** James said. Two figure came out of the sub. ‰*ÏPrepare to die.‰** ‰*ÏAnd pray it‰*ªs quick.‰** ‰*ÏTo destroy the world with devastation.‰** ‰*ÏTo enslave all people within this nation.‰** ‰*ÏTo entice the good of hate and greed.‰** ‰*ÏTo extend grasp upon this world.‰** ‰*ÏKitty.‰** ‰*ÏTiger.‰** ‰*ÏTeam rocket destroying all that stand in our way.‰** ‰*ÏAdmit defeat and you may yet live.‰** ‰*ÏMeowth that‰*ªs right!‰** Meowth appeared in front of the two other rocket members. ‰*ÏTeam rocket. We should of guessed you be behind something like this.‰** ‰*ÏWell give the man a cupee doll.‰** Tiger said. ‰*ÏI think we can give him something much better.‰** Kitty joined in. ‰*ÏLike a one-way trip to Davey Jones locker.‰** ‰*ÏWhat did you do to these Makorons.‰** Misty yelled at the rockets. ‰*ÏSimple. We just drove then it a frenzy using our own subsonic hi-five confuse ray. A Makorons would be to stupid to follow us though choice, so were just controlling them instead.‰** ‰*ÏThat cruel. No pokemon should be controlled with to destroy things.‰** ‰*ÏWell we can and there is nothing you can do about it.‰** ‰*ÏOh yes we can.‰** Rick turned the volumes on the speakers to there maxim level. The Makorons started going wild and loss formation. ‰*ÏNo you don‰*ªt‰** Tiger pushed a button and a harpoon gun appeared form the mouth of the sub. The harpoon shot out and hit the speaker destroying it. Another shot took out the speakers on Ash and Misty‰*ªs boat. ‰*ÏLooks like evil triumphs over good again.‰** Meowth said evilly. ‰*ÏThat‰*ªs what you think. We still have out pokemon.‰** ‰*ÏAnd what are they going to do.‰** ‰*ÏYou‰*ªll see. Blastoise, Lapras use your ice beams to create a wall of ice.‰** Ash threw the two pokeballs and the two pokemon appeared. Blastoise and Lapras shot out beams of ice forming a ring of ice around everyone. ‰*ÏNice going. Now we don‰*ªt have to hunt you down.‰** ‰*ÏThat‰*ªs what you think. Pikachu thunder bolt now!‰** ‰*ÏPikachu!‰** Pikachu aimed his high voltage attack at the Makorons shocking them. The electricity spread thought the whole ice ring. Many of the Makorons tried to swim away but couldn‰*ªt because the ice ring blocked them. ‰*ÏWhat are you doing! Your out number them a hundred to one. Why you running.‰** Meowth yelled towards the shark pokemon. Most of the Makorons stopped running (or swimming if you what it literally) and redirected themselves toward our heroes. ‰*ÏMa ko.‰** The Makorons started shoot tiny projectiles at the boat. Everyone ducked to avoid the flying objects. ‰*ÏWhat are those things?‰** Ash asked Rick. ‰*ÏIt‰*ªs a Makorons special attack. The jaw shot. They are actually firing there own teeth at us.‰** ‰*ÏWell can‰*ªt we wait till they run out of teeth.‰** James said ducking the shooting of teeth aimed at there heads. ‰*ÏThat would be impossible. Not only do the a thousand teeth in the mouth, but they regrow in a few seconds.‰** ‰*ÏOkay so what do we do?‰** ‰*ÏWell we could try to attack but we be cut to pieces or we wait till the boat sink form the holes there making. Either way were done for.‰** James said. Jessie smacked him with her paper fan. ‰*ÏJames. How can you say such things.‰** ‰*ÏHe‰*ªs only speaking the true darling.‰** Kitty said to Jessie. ‰*ÏSay Ash do you hear something?‰** Misty asked Ash. Pikachu‰*ªs ears went up because it heard something. ‰*ÏWhat is Pikachu is something coming.‰** Pikachu nodded. ‰*ÏMaybe it‰*ªs the other member of the coast guard.‰** Suddenly they heard a high pitched sound. The Makorons then stopped shooting. Everyone stood up. What they saw was quite a sight. Fight the Makorons were the Dollyfins and where lead led by the one that Misty was trying to capture earlier. The Dollyfins were sending out a strange blue wave that was driving the Makorons insane. Ash pointed his pokedex at the Dollyfins. ‰*ÏSonar: Dollyfins special move. This high pitched sound can confuse it‰*ªs opponents.‰** ‰*ÏLook there running off.‰** The Dollyfins had broken the ice ring and most of the Makorons were escaping. Team rocket and there sub fled upon seeing the Dollyfin fleet appearance. ‰*ÏYeah but there are still some here. Pikachu take them down with a thundershock.‰** ‰*ÏPikaaaachuuuuuu.‰** Pikachu‰*ªs blast dove off the rest of the Makoron fleet expect one. ‰*ÏLook Ash theirs one left.‰** ‰*ÏWell I‰*ªm going to capture it.‰** Ash said as he threw a pokeball. ‰*ÏPidgeot go!‰** ‰*ÏPidgeot.‰** The bird pokemon said as it flew over the water. ‰*ÏPidgeot use gust attack.‰** Pidgeot created a large gust of wind that hit the Makoron but only ticked it off. ‰*ÏMako.‰** The Makoron fired it‰*ªs jaw shot, but Pidgeot avoid the attack. Pidgeot stuck back with a wing attack that critically hit Makoron. ‰*ÏMako ron.‰** The shark pokemon started glowing and dove under water. ‰*ÏUm what happened?‰** James pointing toward the spot where Makoron went under. ‰*ÏI think it evolved?‰** Isaac said. ‰*ÏBut to what?‰** Ash wondered. His wonders were answered when a large creature came out of the water. The creature was large and had large side fins that acted like wings. The creatures black scale skin was made it look almost beautiful if it wasn‰*ªt it‰*ªs mouth which with it gapping jaw full of sharp teeth made it look like a force to be feared. ‰*ÏManark.‰** The creature said. Ash point his pokedex at the creature. ‰*ÏManark the manta pokemon, the evolved form of Makoron. Since few people have ever captured a Makoron, it‰*ªs evolved form is almost unheard of. No further information.‰** ‰*ÏI‰*ªll tell you why no one ever capture a Manark. It‰*ªs because those trainers were eaten by them.‰** Rick explained. ‰*ÏI don‰*ªt want to be some pokemon dinner.‰** James began panicking till Jessie knock him out. ‰*ÏWell I‰*ªm not going to allow some pokemon to eat any of us. Pidgeot whirlwind attack. ‰*ÏPidge ot ot ot ot ot.‰** Pidgeot created a large whirlwind attack the stuck Manark. The Manark however was unaffected. The Manark dashed toward Pidgeot at break neak speed. Pidgeot was hit and fell in to the water. Ash recalled Pidgeot. ‰*ÏLapras give it a body slam.‰** Lapras charged toward the manta pokemon delivering a powerful blow. ‰*ÏOkay Blastoise use ice missile.‰** ‰*ÏBl.‰** Blastoise‰*ªs gun came out of it‰*ªs back. ‰*ÏAst.‰** A pale looking missile popped out of the one of the cannons. ‰*ÏOise.‰** Blastoise shot the missile hit Manark on it‰*ªs underside. Manark became frozen and fell back into the water. ‰*ÏPokeball go.‰** Ash threw the pokeball hitting Manark and sucking inside the ball. Blastoise caught the ball and threw abroad the boat. The ball wiggled a few times before stopping. ‰*ÏAll right. I caught Manark.‰** Ash pick up the pokeball. ‰*ÏCongratulations Ash. Your the first person to capture a wild Manark.‰** Rick said over the radio. ‰*ÏI guess you got luckily.‰** Misty said slyly. ‰*ÏWhat? I caught Manark with my skill. Luck had nothing to do with this.‰** Misty kiss Ash on the cheek stopping him form saying further. ‰*ÏJust kidding. You deserve Manark. To bad I didn‰*ªt get that Dollyfin.‰** ‰*ÏDon‰*ªt worry Misty, you‰*ªll capture one sooner or later.‰** Ash hugged Misty comforting her. ‰*ÏHey you two. Save it for later.‰** Jessie and James waved form there boat disturbing the two lovers. ‰*ÏWell we should head back for shore.‰** ‰*ÏYou know I wonder what happened to team rocket.‰** Misty shrugged ‰*ÏI guess they ran off when they begin losing.‰** Ash started the boat and drove the boat back to shore. Later that day Misty was sitting on the docks looking at the sun setting. Ash and Pikachu walked up to her and sat down. ‰*ÏStill thinking about that Dollyfin aren‰*ªt you?‰** Ash asked his girl. ‰*ÏYeah. I wish I could of captured it. Some water master I am.‰** ‰*ÏHey don‰*ªt put yourself down so much. Actually if did capture that Dollyfin, it probably wouldn‰*ªt of gotten the other Dollyfins and saved us.‰** ‰*ÏTrue. But still it was seemed very cute and I want it badly.‰** Pikachu‰*ªs ears perk up and looks around. ‰*ÏWhat is it Pikachu?‰** Pikachu walks over to the said of the dock. Ash and Misty follow Pikachu. At the end of the dock there a Dollyfin swimming there. ‰*ÏOh look a Dollyfin. I think it‰*ªs the one that I tried to capture earlier. But what‰*ªs it doing here.‰** ‰*ÏDolllllllllllllly.‰** The pokemon says. Pikachu translates for Ash. ‰*ÏIt says that it came here looking for you. It saw you at the battle and liked your courage for facing the Makorons. It wants to join you.‰** ‰*ÏWell ok. Pokeball GO!‰** Misty threw the pokeball and Dollyfin went inside. Misty jump into the air in excitement. ‰*ÏWow I caught a Dollyfin.‰** Ash starts laughing. ‰*ÏWell it‰*ªs the situation. Here you catch a pokemon because it joins you, when you always diss me about that fact that pokemon always join with me.‰** ‰*ÏWell this is different. This is my pokemon so there. And anyway those pokemon only joined you because you were a pathetic trainer that could catch a cold in the arctic.‰** ‰*ÏAnd what am I now that I may ask.‰** Ash asked. ‰*ÏWell come here and I‰*ªll tell you.‰** Ash moved towards Misty and two imbarced each other. Pikachu walked back to van where the others were waiting for them. ‰*ÏSo I guess we should give them five minutes then.‰** James asked Pikachu. Pikachu nodded. ‰*ÏWell then why don‰*ªt we....‰** ‰*ÏUm Isaac will be in the van if you need us.‰** Jessie and James ran into the van and locked the doors. (authors note: There just kissing. I repeat they are all just kissing.) Isaac sit on the curb with Pikachu next to him. Isaac and Pikachu stare at each other. ‰*ÏMan, I really need girlfriend.‰** Isaac says as he goes to the vending machine. To be continued.... Man is that long or what? Anyway I hope liked it and stay tuned for the US Journey part 10. Got any questions, comments, flames email me at XPapazoglo@aol.com
