Chapter 13:  Return of the Mysterious Pok�mon (Part B) by Michael Keens/ 
Exodus  

That night, we walked up the long spiral staircase to the top, the immense 
light rotated around and practically blinded us every 5 seconds, we all turned 
away from the beacon.  
�How the heck can you communicate with a Pok�mon you�ve never really seen?� 
asked Chad.  
�Can you communicate with Pok�mon?� asked Bill.  
�Sort of, I understand what they say and they understand me...�  
�Well I did a lot of studying since I first heard the mysterious Pok�mon, I 
have the technology to change my voice into the Pok�mon language.�  
�You really need a hobby.�  
�Chad, don�t be so insensitive!� shouted Emily.  
�Shhhh, I can hear it.� I whispered.  
It was a beautiful sound, like a lower key siren, so gentle, so alone.  
And now it would have Bill as a friend.  
It was okay, Bill was a really nice guy, a little too involved with work, but 
otherwise great.  
�I�m so glad you returned, Pok�mon...�  
�Oooaaaooohhh...� it said with a loud, yet gentle tone.  
It was unclear, but I could see it was very big.  
It took its time wading through the ocean, but within a few minutes, it was in 
sight.  
It looked kinda like a Dragonite, but it was much bigger, and that beautiful 
sound it made, it was nothing like the Dragonites I�d heard.  
Bill had waited a year to see this Pok�mon, he was a withdrawn person.  
To communicate with this Pok�mon, it would, even if very little, improve his 
social life.  
�I�ve waited so long for you to return, why did you attack us?�  
�What?! That thing attacked you?!� asked Chad surprised.  
�Keep quiet then, don�t make it mad!� said Emily.  
�Gooaaoohhhh...�  
Bill played the tape.  
�Someone was trying to hurt you and you thought I was involved, I�m sorry you 
thought that, I would never try to hurt you.�  
�Goooaaoohhh...�  
Bill smiled, more than he had the whole time we were with him, he loved 
Pok�mon.  

The peace was broken by an explosion and a large cloud of smoke.  
�Whirlwind, use the Whirlwind attack to blow it away!�  
�Pidgeo!� it screamed, flapping its wings hard, making loud swooping sounds in 
the air, the Pok�mon was in trouble, bound by a huge net.  
�Tetsubo, we have to get it off him!�  
�Okay!�  
Bill and I ran towards the Pok�mon, but an electric charge that ran through the 
net put us off the idea.  
The Pok�mon screamed in pain, and an equally large creature approached from 
behind.  
A mechanical Dragonite, and my three �favourite� people.  

�We strike during day or night!�  
�We attack, with all our might!�  
�Don�t mess with us, or we shall fight!�  
�We�re pretty good at our rhyme.�  
�The masterminds, of crime.�  
�We always succeed, every time.�  
�Cletus!�  
�Cassie!�  
�Claus!�  
�If y�all got valuables, yuh�d better block it!�  
�We put Pok�mon in our pocket!�  
�We�re the best, so don�t knock it!�  
�We are... Elite Rocket!�  

�Leave that Pok�mon alone!� shouted Bill.  
�Hah, forget it dweeb!� shouted Cassie, �This is a rare Pok�mon and Team Rocket 
needs such treasures.�  
�Its not as if it was yours.� added Claus.  
�So its up fer grabs!� finished Cletus.  
�No! You must leave that Pok�mon alone!�  
�They won�t listen to you Bill, they only understand force!� I shouted, 
�Whirlwind! Twinkill!�  
�Solar! Discharge!�  
�Ragecage! Boulder!�  
All six Pok�mon appeared together.  
�Whirlwind, I want you to get some sand from the nearby beach, and Twinkill, I 
want you to lead the main attack force.� I explained.  
�Okay, Solar will be a long range attacker, and Discharge, you go with Twinkill 
and follow his lead.� ordered Emily.  
�Ragecage, Boulder, both of you follow Twinkill and get in there and do some 
damage.� finished Chad.  
All Pok�mon shouted an �Okay!� in their different languages.  
�Solar! Use Razor Leaf on the window!�  
�Whirlwind, block their vision with Sand Attack, and Twinkill, help them and 
use your Water Gun to make both attacks stick!�  
Whirlwind had already gone forth and returned with the sand, the Dragonite 
robot dragged the other Pok�mon away slowly.  
Solar shot the leaves first.  

�Will dat glass hold against dat attack?� asked Cletus.  
�Of course it will, this is a Screwloose brand machine, it�ll be fine.� 
explained Claus.  

Then the sand hit plastering half the leaves on, Twinkill followed in and 
turned the sand into a sticky substance.  

�Dey may not be able to break through...  But dem varmints have blocked our 
vision!� screamed Cletus.  
�Just keep pulling!� shouted Claus angrily, �We cannot lose such a rare 
Pok�mon!�  

�Discharge!�  
�Ragecage! Boulder!�  
�Twinkill! Full scale attack!�  
All I could do was watch, this definitely wasn�t an Official League Battle and 
the Pok�mon could try anything since we weren�t sure what would beat the 
robot.  
Twinkill spun itself around and dented the main head, then shot water into the 
circuitry.  
Discharge shocked around, but because it was hauling an electrified net, it was 
a safe bet it had some protection against Electric attacks.  
Ragecage and Boulder leaped onto the main head and pounded away at the 
sand-covered window.  

�Don�t just let them attack us!� screamed Claus.  

A hatch at the back of the head opened and... 
�Scyther!�  
�Dra!�  
�Monchan!�  

�Discharge! Solar! Shock and slash that Seadra!� called out Emily.  
�Twinkill!�  
�Ragecage!�  
�Get that Hitmonchan!� Chad and I finished in unison.  
�Whirlwind!�  
�Boulder!�  
�Attack that Scyther!� we said in unison again.  
This was the Pok�mon�s chance to fight the battle on their own, we just split 
them up into teams that would beat the Rockets', who appeared to be doing this 
without orders too.  
�Scyther! Scy!�  
Cutter, Cletus�s Scyther looked worried as the two type advantage Pok�mon flew 
around it, I was a little pleased that one of my own Pok�mon could strike this 
bully down, I still remembered the pain he caused Twinkill when he sliced one 
of his limbs off.  
�Geo!� shouted Boulder raising a rock from the cliff face and lobbing it at the 
mantis who cut it in two.  
It wasn�t always about type differences, a Pok�mon�s physical structure could 
affect matches too, and those scythes gave him a pretty good advantage.  
Whirlwind followed up with a spinning Peck attack.  
�Sea-Dra!�  
Queendra shot a small Ice Beam stopping Solar in the middle of a Vine whip 
attack, it couldn�t face two opponents at once and was shocked by Discharge.  
�Monchan!�  
Knockout went one-on-one with Ragecage, the small Mankey, they both grabbed 
hands, the Hitmonchan won, but Twinkill spun past grazing Knockout.  
It turned back, aimed a punch at Twinkill, missed, then turned back to 
Ragecage, already aiming its Mega Punch...  
All three Elite Pok�mon flew into the water.  

�They beat our first wave of Pok�mon!� shouted Cassie from inside the cockpit.  
�Ah�ll use de tail ta scoop �em up.� said Cletus getting to work.  
�Grrrr, use all the weapon systems!� screamed Claus getting very angry.  
�But what about the-�  
�Do I look like I care?!� interrupted Claus really ticked off.  
�Ever since that turquoise pest came along, my career has gone downhill as with 
yours, he will not stop us this time!�  

A cannon formed out the mouth of the robot, to my horror, it was obviously 
aimed at us.  
Pushing Chad aside and tackling Emily down, the beacon of the lighthouse was 
blown clear off.  
Picking myself up off the awkwardness of being so close to Emily, I saw it 
collapsing totally.  
�Bill! Watch out!�  
Bill�s eyes widened, Chad made a run towards him, but backed off as the beacon 
crashed down.  
Bill was catapulted off the lighthouse and plummeted.  
�BILL!� I screamed.  

�You fool, Claus, you killed the wrong one!� shouted Cassie to Claus.  

�Gooaaooohhhh!�  
I scrambled over and looked over the edge.  
The mysterious Pok�mon was free of the net and had caught Bill.  
�You saved me, Pok�mon.�  
�Gooaaaoooohhh...�  

�Pok�mon?...  But in order for that to happen...� pondered Cassie from inside, 
�... Its free! Shoot it! Shoot it!� she screamed.  

The cannon was loading up for another blast.  
�Pok�mon, do you know Hyper Beam?� asked Bill.  
�Goah... Gaaooaaooohhh!!!�  
The blast was quicker than the Rockets�, and destroyed the cannon, sparks 
surrounded the Dragonite robot.  
�Guys, get out of there!� I called out to all the Pok�mon.  
The Pok�mon quickly reached what was left of the lighthouse before the 
Dragonite robot exploded.  
The Mysterious Pok�mon shielded itself and Bill.  

�Ah can�t believe dey beat our Dragonite...� moaned Cletus.  
�The system failed and so did we...� groaned Cassie.  
�We�ll be back Turquoise, and with an even bigger robot...� threatened Claus.  
All three flew into the distance, blackened from the explosion.  

The Pok�mon was slowly walking away.  
�Bill, you�re going with it?�  
�I have waited years to study this Pok�mon, I will go wherever it wishes to 
show me.  Thank you friends, this Pok�mon might have been captured if you 
hadn�t fought at your best.�  
�Will you ever come back?� asked Emily.  
�Perhaps...  All I know is that this is an impressive discovery, and I�ve 
finally made a friend.�  
�We�re your friends too.  Come back soon...� called Emily.  
Chad stayed silent, but the smile on his face said everything needed to be 
said.  

The sun was rising, but the Pok�mon was too far away to determine what it was, 
we simply watched until they were out of sight.  
Bill had finally found what he had been searching for, as for us, our journey 
was still at its beginning.
