#17 of Part Two - Dallas, Electra, And The Fight Against Team Onyx


"So then it's settled, we're staying here with you." Electra said as she folded her arms. "As the leader's mate, it actually feels really good to take charge."

"Yeah, and your aggressiveness makes you good at it." Cammy giggled.

"Where did you even come from..." I said as I looked at Cammy, who smiled.

"I was in the group of Pikachu that came in."

"Ah." I said as I looked over at the big Raichu, who seemed a bit annoyed. Walking over to him, I sighed as I looked up.

"Um, you okay?" I asked.

"No..." He mumbled. "I thought I was the most powerful... And then you come in here and your mate takes me out with no problem... And then you pry yourself out of my grip like it's nothing at all..." He sighed. "I guess I have a lot to learn..."

"Well size doesn't always mean you're tougher... For example, eh, a Wailord. Sure, it's huuuuuge! But I could easily take it out with a single thunderbolt." I laughed.

"I also didn't believe you were who they said you were..." He said, obviously ignoring what I'd just said. "They said you were tough, the toughest in the world... But I thought I was... Now I realize... I'm nothing compared to you..." He sighed. "You and your mate..."

"That might be true, but that doesn't mean you're useless." I said, smiling. "There's tons you can do without being as strong as we are."

"Strength is everything." He said. "Without strength I can be easily overpowered and eaten."

"Even with strength you can be overpowered and eaten... Just ask my mate. She eats everything and anything, powerful or not. And she's planning on eating mewthree too." I laughed.

"Ah, she's the one with the endless appetite..." He sighed. "There goes our food supply..."

"Actually she keeps that under control." I laughed. "You don't have to worry about that."

"Thank Arceus..." He said, sighing. "Well I guess it's okay if you're the leader... I mean, you have your own colony and stuff... So you must be good at what you do... Plus, we could use a powerhouse like you to take out that stupid mew three or whatever it's called. Stupid thing destroyed the place I used to get free food from..."

"About that..." I laughed. "Have you seen him anywhere? What I don't get is, he wants me dead, and I want him dead, but in the process of looking for each other we somehow end up avoiding each other..." I laughed.

"Ohhh yes." He laughed. I "Actually, I just spotted him not too far away from here. But he's not after Pokemon so I just walked on by." He laughed. "Looked exactly like Mewtwo. Only difference was that this guy had darker paws." He said.

"Darker paws huh?" Electra said as she walked over to us. "That's nice. What, is that supposed to be intimidating?" She laughed. "I can stick my paws in mud and make them darker. Doesn't make me tougher."

"I heard he can teleport you places..." The Raichu said.

"Yeah well Dallas can do that too." Electra laughed.

"Can Dallas fly? Didn't think so." The Raichu laughed.

"Actually I can..." I said as I leapt into the air, hovering above him and laughing as I flew circles around him.

"What the... The flying Pikachu! It's Dallas!?!" He shouted as he looked around the place. Everyone seemed to me staring at me, or at least everyone from the other colony. Everyone from my colony were just looking at me, since they already knew I could fly.

"Yes, it's me..." I said. "And Mewthree wants me dead for some reason, but I can't die." I laughed.

"Yeah me either." Electra said. "But... I wonder where I go if I DO die..."

"Back to your Pokeball? Isn't that usually how it works?" The Raichu said.

"No, I mean DIE die, not faint." She said.

"Maybe it's the same thing." The Raichu laughed.

"Why are you so big?" Thunder asked as he walked over to us.

"No idea. Just am." He said as he folded his arms. "And apparently it doesn't make me too much stronger..."

"Well you need the weight to back it up... Everyone knows that..." Thunder said.

"SEE!" Electra yelled as she jumped up and down. "I told you!!!"

"Well I never said I didn't believe you..." I laughed. "What you explained actually made a lot of sense."

"I know." Electra laughed. "Feels good to be right..."

"Back to the point, what are you looking for mewthree for?" The tall Raichu asked.

"He tried to kill us." Electra said. "So we're getting revenge."

"Not to mention he's going to destroy the world if he keeps up what he's doing." Cammy said as she walked over to us. "He's a moronic... Thing... With no brain. All it does is kill for no reason. And Team Onyx created it because they thought they could control it. Yeah right, just look at what happened with Mew TWO! At lease HE doesn't want to kill everyone though!"

"Cammy shhhh..." Zeke laughed. "You're getting all worked up over nothing!"

"Nothing? Pokemon's lives are in danger and you call that nothing?" She yelled as she raised her paws. "It's SOMETHING!"

"Let's just find it and settle this." I sighed.

"You do realize it's not going to be that easy, right?" The Raichu said as he looked down at us. "Even with your power..."

"And the power of the colony." I said. "Not just me..."

"Well that's better, but I don't think you'll get too far..." he said.

"Well let's just see about that." I laughed as I flew up higher into the air, laughing.

"OKAY EVERYONE!" I yelled. "Mew three has supposedly been spotted somewhere around here. So we're all going to go look for him, and KILL HIM!" I said as I slapped my paws together. "So let's go!" I said as I flew over the bushes, the cheering colony following me from below.

"YEAH!" One of them shouted. "That stupid thing tried to destroy Dallas' nest! It needs to die!"

"YEAH!" Everyone shouted.

"Our new leader is DALLAS!?" Someone squeaked. "That's so awesome! The REAL Dallas!!"

"Err, yup that's me." I said, laughing as I plopped down into the grass.

"Flying Pikachu exist! I knew it!" One of the Pikachu squealed.

"What the hell?" The Big Raichu said as he stared at me. "How do you even do that?"

"I don't know, it just happens." I shrugged.

"OKAY HERE'S THE PLAN!" Electra yelled. "We'll all split up and search around... If someone spots mewthree, then you have to yell... Um... Pickles!" She said.

"Pickles? Why Pickles?" The Raichu asked.

"Pickles are yummy." Electra said.

"Why not apples?" Thunder asked.

"Shut up!" She snapped. "It's pickles because I say it's pickles."

"Fine then it's pickles." Thunder laughed.

"Hey, where's Bolt anyway..." Electra mumbled as she looked around, then shrugged. "Ah well... LET'S GO!" She shouted as she waved her paw in a forward motion, before turning to me and grabbing my paw in hers.

"WE go together." She chuckled.

"Well of course..." I laughed.

"Let's go." She giggled.

--

About an hour or so of searching later...

--

"Dallas this is stupid..." Electra sighed as she turned around. "I don't see him anywhere..."

"Yeah me neither." I sighed. "But... They said they saw him around here..."

"I'm aware of what they said... However the fact that we haven't seen him yet says otherwise." She said.

"I know, I know..." I sighed as I looked up at the sky. "It's getting dark... Maybe if we look for the purple..."

"Dallas it's purple EVERYWHERE." She said. "There's no use in doing this, let's just go back..."

"Err..." I laughed as I scratched the back of my head. "Back... Yeah... Um... About that..."

"What..." Electra sighed. "What is it..."

"I don't know how to get 'Back'." I sighed.

"Great, neither do I." She growled. "Just... Teleport us or something."

"Well I don't remember what the place looks like..." I said, frowning.

"What do you MEAN you don't know!" She shouted.

"Well I don't remember! I was only there once!" I whined. "It's not my fault!"

"Well all I remember is there being lots of grass." Electra sighed.

"See you don't remember either." I pouted.

"That's different!" She laughed.

"Oh yeah, how?" I asked.

"Because I'm a girl." She said as she stuck her tongue out.

"So?" I laughed as I stuck mine out too.

"But seriously... If we're really lost then this isn't good." She said.

"I KNOW that..." I sighed. "But look at us... We're... US..." I laughed. "We don't have to worry about danger and stuff..."

"Well... You're right... But still..." She said, sighing as she sat down. "I just don't like being lost..."

"Well who does?" I laughed.

"I dunno." She said as she stood back up. "Well if we walk straight, we'll get somewhere eventually... Right?" She asked.

"Well yeah... But we've been walking for like hours... I have no idea where we are." I said.

"We've already established that." She sighed. "Let's just go."

"Fine, fine." I said as I walked alongside her, sighing. "Where do you think we are anyway?"

"Um... In the woods?" Electra laughed. "I can hear things up ahead so we must be close to a human place."

"Well yeah, I hear them too... But it doesn't sound like..." I said, frowning as I perked my ears up.

From what I could hear, it sounded like screaming almost.

"Err... Let's just go." I said as I continued walking. "It sounds to me like humans screaming."

"Well maybe someone like me is eating them." She laughed.

"I don't think that's it." I said, smiling.

"Well maybe they're fighting." She shrugged.

"Maybe they're being attacked." I said as I squinted ahead.

"Look..." She said as she pointed up ahead, laughing. "It's what we've been looking for this whole time."

"What?" I asked as I squinted up to where she was pointing. "Electra you have to stop moving your paw I can't see where you're pointing..." I frowned.

"Well I can't stop moving unless IT does." She laughed. "How do you not see it?"

"I just don't.." I said as I dashed ahead a couple yards, then looked up.

"Ohhhh..." I said, sighing as I looked back at her. "It's... Him..."

"Yeah, HIM." She laughed. "And to tell the truth, I'm not really ready to fight this thing yet."

"Neither am I." I said, sighing. "But we can at least try... I mean, we're not going to die... Forever..." I laughed.

"Well yeah... I guess we can try." She said as she walked alongside me towards the edge of the woods.

"Well... I don't really... Ah whatever." She said as she walked out.

Shrugging, I followed her out, walking out onto the street. I looked up into the sky, and what I saw was actually pretty frightening. There, flew mewthree, and he had a human in his paws. I watched as he encased the human in a bright purple aura, before flinging him into the air and flying off.

"What the hell is going on..." Electra asked as she walked over to me. "Should I just... Attack him?"

"Well I don't know..." I said as I watched him, sighing. "He's acting all reckless..."

"Well duh, he wants to kill everyone." Electra laughed.

"Well I know, but..." I said as I scratched the back of my head. "Fine, go ahead and hit him. I'll be right here to back you up when he strikes back..."

Nodding, Electra stood up tall, sparks flying from her cheeks as she stared into the sky.

"Try to wait until he makes another purple thingy. Then aim for it and hit it so it explodes in his face." I laughed.

"Why can't YOU do that?" She asked.

"Well I will. I want to save all my energy for when he starts attacking." I said as I stared up at him.

My heart was pounding, and I was practically holding my breath as I waited for Electra to make her move. I closed my eyes and held my breath, my ears perked up as I looked up at //?mewthree, then at Electra, before closing my eyes once again as she fired off a bolt of electricity. As soon as I heard the little explosion, I took a giant leap backwards, taking a deep breath as I dropped down onto all fours.

"WHAT?!" Mewthree shouted as he turned toward us, growling. "YOU two!" He snarled.

"Yeah, US two." Electra said, folding her arms. "What about US two?"

"You should have been taken out a long time ago!" He shouted as he held his paws to the sides, a little purple ball forming inbetween them.

"Well we aren't." Electra laughed as she shot off another thunderbolt, hitting the purple ball and causing it to explode once again.

"ARGH!" Mewthree growled as he shook himself off. "Quit doing that!"

"No." Electra said. "It's our first battle and already you seem so weak." She laughed.

"Yeah, you actually kind of... Do..." I said as I scratched my right ear. "I expected you to deliver like, a killing blow in one shot..."

"SHUT UP!" He yelled as he held out his paws, another purple ball forming inbetween them. I could see the energy swirling around within it, dark blue sparks crackling out of its center.

"Wow, you don't learn..." Electra said as she shot off another thunderbolt, but this time, it bounced off of a bright purple ball of energy that was now surrounding mewthree.

"Yes, I DO." He laughed.

"Okay what the hell... How do you use two moves at once..." Electra growled.

"Shut up and run." I said as I nudged her, before taking off to the left.

"Yeah." Electra said as she ran in the other direction, whining. "Now it's after meeee..."

I stopped running about six seconds later, and I turned around and looked up in the sky. Sure enough, he wasn't after me at all yet. He was after Electra. I watched as the purple ball grew to the same size of his body. My mind was racing, I didn't know what to do. If I thunderbolted, it'd just bounce off of his protect... Using protect the whole time is cheating. If he fights like that then I'm going to have to learn brick break or something!

Anyhow, there's no point in standing here, right? Might as well try a thunderbolt... Besides, that's my mate he's attacking!

Growling, I dropped down onto all fours and concentrated. I felt all the energy in my body rushing forward into what felt like the most powerful thunderbolt I've ever charged in my life. It was like, all the power around me was influencing me to be stronger than I truly was... Maybe it was an ability I had? To be stronger when around lots of power? Well whatever it was, it helped out a lot.

I fired off the thunderbolt in one short pulse, but in that pulse, was a staggering amount of power. The only thing was, I'd fired it too late. The purple ball flew out of his paws just as I fired, and my thunderbolt missed. However, somehow, out of sheer luck, the position he had his paws in after he fired the ball, placed his paws in the path of my thunderbolt, and it hit. It wasn't a direct hit into his belly to something, but it was still a hit. I watched as the electricity was pulled into his body as it hit his paw, and it surged through him. However, what I didn't see, was the giant purple ball he threw. Literally a split second after my thunderbolt hit him, the ball crashed down into the ground.

It slammed into the ground, catching me completely off guard. I cried out as the ground shook a little, and I covered my ears. The sound of the impact was so loud that my ears were ringing, but I had bigger things to worry about. Chunks of concrete and asphalt were sent high into the air while I was preoccupied with my ears. I couldn't stand the ringing sound. I whined softly as I pawed at my ears, then grabbed them. It was then that the shock of the impact reached me, and I was sent tumbling forward. I was completely unprepared. I quickly jumped up onto all fours and looked up at mewthree, who appeared to be spazzing out in the air. It was then that one of the pieces of asphalt landed right on my back, knocking me back onto my belly. I gasped for air under the weight of the rock, desperately clawing at the ground in an attempt to pull myself free, but I couldn't.

"DALLAS!" Electra yelled as she ran over to me, panting as she pushed the slab of stone off of me. "Are you okay!?"

"I'm... Fine..." I mumbled as I got to my feet, panting. "I was totally unprepared for that, I didn't know any of that was going to happen..."

"How come you couldn't move it yourself?" She asked.

"I don't know, I panicked." I sighed. "I'm sooo not ready for this..."

"Me either, I think we should run..." She said as she looked up. "EEE DALLAS WATCH OUT!" She squealed.

I turned my head to see mewthree charging down at us with what appeared to be an arial ace. Except for one thing. I could see that from his angle, he was going to miss me and go right by. So I did nothing. It didn't even come to my mind that I should charge up a move to counter. I also did not take into account that Electra was standing right next to me, and that he was in fact, aiming for her instead of me. By the time I realized it, it was too late to warn her. I watched as he slammed into her belly, causing her to squeal as he lifted her off the ground and flung her forward with the momentum of the arial ace. I took this opportunity to grab his tail, and instead of sending a thunderbolt directly into his body, which also didn't cross my mind, I attempted to fling him in the opposite direction, in an attempt to possibly lessen the force of impact on Electra. I figured if I slowed him down he wouldn't do as much damage, however, I did NOT think that he was as powerful as he truly was.

Holding tightly onto his tail, I tried my best to stop him from moving forward. I leaned all my weight down on him and extended my claws, but there was nothing on the ground for them to hook onto, so they were basically useless in this situation. Instead of slowing him down, I found myself being dragged forward, despite pulling backwards with all the strength I had. The momentum from his attack was simply too much for me to handle.

What made it worse was that he flew directly over the hole in the ground he'd made with that ball of purple energy. As soon as he flew over it, and my feet left the ground, he whipped his tail to the left and sent me flying off of him. I closed my eyes tightly and braced for impact, letting out a loud gasp as I smacked into a building.

Now that I realized it, he might have actually planned that out. He knew that if he went for Electra, I'd grab him. And he knew that I wouldn't be able to stop him, and I'd end up falling in the hole.

He's smarter than I thought too...

I whined as I flopped to the ground on my belly, groaning as I got to my feet and brushed off my fur. I turned my head to see Electra get nailed again by his arial ace, which appeared to be the same one, but this time from behind, and I lost it. Dropping down onto all fours, I ran at him as fast as I could, my tail glowing a bright silver as I leapt into the air. However, he must have heard me coming or something, because he used protect. As soon as my iron tail smacked into his protect bubble, he nailed me in the stomach with one of those purple balls.

I squealed in pain as It exploded in my face, sending me straight up, but this was no time to be held back by pain, so I tried my best to fight it off. I growled as I caught myself in the air, and instead of FALLING straight down, I flew straight down, with my own flying ability, growling as a sphere of electricity surrounded me.

"Do.... NOT... TOUCH MY MATE!" I yelled as I tucked in my arms, legs, and tail. This was my first time attempting to hit someone with an arial volt tackle, and little did I know that this was the worst possible time I could do it. With Electra inside the building, there was no one to distract mewthree. And not knowing this, I closed my eyes and prepared for impact. However, the impact I received was not from me hitting him, it was from him hitting me. I opened my eyes just in time to see him fire an enormous white beam out of both of his paws, It looked like a solarbeam, but there was barely any sun out so it couldn't be a solarbeam, right?

The beam blasted me headfirst and stopped me right in my tracks. I screamed as the heat of it surrounded me and burned my fur. The force of the blast sent me flying backwards once more, straight up into the air. But this time, I couldn't recover. I couldn't move. Somehow, it had paralyzed me.

I squealed, gasping for air as I smacked into the roof of a building, closing my eyes tightly, I tried my best to get up, but I couldn't. From the angle I was in, I could see him floating over Electra. I wanted to just thunderbolt with everything I had, but I couldn't. What confused me however, was the fact that he wasn't attacking her. Instead, he seemed to be playing with something in his paws...

"I was ready for you tow... You two were clearly not ready for me." He laughed as he raised his paws. "And now, I win." He chuckled as he held up his paws. "THIS... This is the ultimate weapon... With this, I automatically win." He laughed as he opened his paws. I watched in confusion as he sprinkled what appeared to be grass over Electra's head.

"Grass? That's your secret weapon?" Electra growled. "You're an idiot."

"Not grass..." He chuckled as he floated backwards a little. "Give it a second..."

"Oh..." Electra said as she looked to the left, then the right. I stared at her, completely confused, until I heard her squeal, and she began rolling around on the ground. It didn't sound like a painful squeal. It sounded like a happy one...

"That'll keep ya busy..." He laughed.

That's when I realized what he'd done... He sprinkled Chunip on her!!! How the hell did he get that!? That's SO not fair!

I whined as he slowly flew over to me, a blank expression on his face as he calmly flew right up to me.

"Dallas Dallas Dallas..." He sighed as he held out his right paw, a dark purple energy swirling around his fingers as he shook his head.

"You have the potential to destroy me... The power... I can feel it, just by simply floating here next to you. And guess what? I just can't let that happen." He said as a grin spread across his muzzle.

"I can already feel your power... And it's far greater than mine... You just chose a poor way to use it today." He laughed. "And SINCE you have such energy... I'm going to have to do something about it... To ensure that this world will become mine..." He grinned.

"This world is not yours..." I growled. "When I get up, I WILL destroy you!" I yelled.

"Dallas Dallas Dallas... You have a lot to learn. You can't move. I've paralyzed you. Now, if you'd came prepared, you would have had berries that could stop this in your cheek pouches or something, but you thought you were tough enough to take me on without them or something. And to tell the truth, you are. But you have no idea how a real Pokemon battles, so you lost." He laughed. "Now... From here on, I forbid you to train. Since I can't take away your power, I can do the next best thing, and stop you from becoming stronger." He chuckled.

"Oh yeah? And just how are you going to do that?" I growled.

"It's simple really." He laughed as he held out his other paw, both of them glowing with that purple energy.

"The thing you hold closest is obviously your mate." He laughed.

"DO NOT TOUCH HER!" I yelled.

"See what I mean?" He laughed. "Without her, you have no reason to continue." he laughed. "BUT... If I kill her, you have ALL the reason to continue..." He grinned.

"I don't understand what the hell you're talking about!" I yelled.

"In other words... If you lose her by means of death, then you have all the reason to continue, because you'll be angry." He laughed. "However, if you lose her by, oh I don't know, forgetting her..." He said, grinning. "Then you have no reason to continue. Because you don't know WHY you're here in the first place." He laughed.

"Forget Electra? Yeah, like that'll ever happen!" I laughed.

"Ohhhh ho ho, there you go again, doubting my power..." He laughed as he floated down, landing on the roof next to me. I Winced as he placed one of his glowing purple paws upon my forehead, expecting it to hurt, but it didn't. Instead, it felt tingly.

"Now..." He laughed. "Relax... You don't have to worry about training to fight me anymore... Don't have to worry about your mate... Because after this, you won't know either of us exist!" He laughed as he closed his eyes. "Relax Dallas... From here on, you will never train to fight me again... You can say goodbye to your mate... Goodbye to your friends, your family... Anyone that knows anything about you, or me... I can't have anyone else training you to kill me now can I?" He laughed as he pressed his paw against my forehead.

I whined as my vision became fuzzy, and I just stared into the sky. I couldn't tell what was happening. I couldn't tell why it was happening. All I knew was that I felt tingly, and I wanted to throw up.

"Your friends... Your family... All gone..." He laughed as he withdrew his paw from my forehead. "You won't even recall me telling you you can beat me!" He laughed. "And now... To finish the job..." He laughed as his paws began to glow a lighter purple. "I'm going to send you somewhere far away... Somewhere you've never been in your entire life... To make sure that you don't stumble across anything familiar..." He laughed as he pressed his paw against my belly. "Somewhere as far away from me as possible... On the other side of the world... Goodbye Dallas." He laughed as he pressed down on me.

All of a sudden, everything went foggy, and I closed my eyes. When I opened them a second later, I was laying flat on my back.

I sat up, rubbing my head as I looked around.

"Ugh... What happened... I feel sick..." I mumbled as I stood up, looking around.

I was in a tropical... Jungle... There were palm tree, coconut trees, banana trees, Pineapple trees...

I couldn't recall who I was, or what I was even doing here... But I didn't care to tell the truth. There was fruit everywhere! And fruit is yummy!
