Chereads / AU: Jessie’s Pokémon Journey / Chapter 16 - Pokémon Away

Chapter 16 - Pokémon Away

"Our heroes have arrived in the S.S. Anne, to get to Celadon City, the next city Jessie needs to go to win her next badge. They thought they would have a relaxing time on the ship, but Team Rocket managed to sneak their way into the S.S. Anne, with a fake ticket, tried to steal Meowth, leading our heroes to the storage room in the basement of the ship. After a really big wave struck the ship, it tipped over a bookshelf, blocking the gang and Team Rocket's only exit. After every possible move that they could. Team Rocket thought of a plan to escape by creating a big hole in the basement and swimming out. However, doing this will cause the ship to sink and endanger all the lives on the S.S. Anne. James and Domino even agreed on this option, leaving Jessie with only one left, what will she do?"

The title screen shows.

"Pokémon Away!"

It cuts to the storage room, where the gang and Team Rocket are at. Still trapped as the bookshelf is still blocking the door.

Jessie is still thinking about her decision, after a couple of seconds have passed she slowly puts her head down. "Fine… let's do it."

Cassidy perks up from Jessie's decision. "About time!"

It cuts to the outside where gray clouds start forming in the sky as it starts raining and storming, then back to the storage room.

Domino looks up. "Do you guys hear that? It sounds like a storm is happening outside."

Butch growls. "That's just fucking fantastic, now we're going have to deal with this stupid storm when we get out of here!"

"I rather deal with a storm than die in this storage room!" Mondo says.

"So what's the plan here to get out of here?" James asked.

"Twerp, you have a Koffing right?" Cassidy asked.

James nods in response. "Yes, I do, but what does Koffing have to do with this?"

"Have Koffing use Explosion to create a hole and we will swim out," Cassidy explained.

"WHAT?!" James yelled in disbelief. "But my Koffing will immediately be knocked out!"

Cassidy shrugs in response. "Oh well, sometimes you have to make sacrifices."

"Hold on!" Domino interrupted. "Wouldn't that make it suspicious that a random hole all of the sudden appeared for no reason?"

Cassidy realized. "You know… you're actually right. That would be suspicious."

"So now what?" Jessie asked.

Cassidy starts explaining."We wait for another big wave to hit the ship, then Koffing uses Explosion to make a hole. That way, it will make it look like the big wave created it. It will make it less suspicious."

"Since when did you grew a brain?" Mondo asked.

Cassidy shoots a glare at Mondo in response.

"Hold on, I never agreed with using Koffing!" James says.

Butch looks at James in annoyance. "Just heal your dumb Pokémon when you find a Pokémon Center!"

"Koffing isn't dumb, Botch!" James fired back.

"THE NAME IS BUTCH!" Butch yelled back.

"Enough!" Domino yelled. "James, out of all our Pokémon, only Koffing can learn Explosion."

"Wait, can you have Clefairy use Metronome?" James asked.

"James, I'm not wasting time doing math, but with all the other Pokémon moves out there, the odds of Clefairy ending up choosing Explosion or even Self-Destruct is pretty low. It's basically a dice roll." Domino responded.

"Just try it!" James suggested.

"Yeah, hey it can also maybe use Teleport and teleport us to the nearest island, maybe?" Mondo suggested.

"Fine… Clefairy, I choose you!" Domino sends out Clefairy.

"Clefairy!"

"Clefairy, use Metronome!"

Clefairy starts moving their fingers back and forth and repeating their name. "Clefairy. Clefairy. Clefairy."

The Pokémon sends a bolt of electric blast, shocking the gang and Team Rocket as they scream in pain.

Jessie coughs up smoke. "I think Meowth got shocked too."

Domino also coughs up smoke. "Definitely wasn't Explosion. Okay, I'm done. Clefairy, return." She was about to recall Clefairy back to its Poké Ball.

"Try again, Domino," James suggested.

Domino stops what she was doing, recalling Clefairy back, and begins to think. "Are you sure, James?"

James nods in response. "I'm sure this time it will be the right move!"

"Okay then… Clefairy, use Metronome once more!" Domino commanded.

Clefairy starts moving their fingers back and forth and repeating their name. "Clefairy. Clefairy. Clefairy."

Clefairy starts splashing around with a smile. Signaling that it used Splash.

Domino looks at her Pokémon back with a smile as well. "Aww, it's using Splash! That's actually so adorable."

The Team Rocket trio all groan and roll their eyes altogether because of the fact Clefairy used Splash.

"Unfortunately that's no help at all. Tell Clefairy to use Metronome once more." James says.

Domino nods. "Hoping this could be the one right here. Clefairy, use Metronome once more!"

Clefairy starts moving their fingers back and forth and repeating their name. "Clefairy. Clefairy. Clefairy."

Clefairy blasts fire out of its mouth, signaling Flamethrower. Cassidy and Butch saw the Flamethrower coming towards them and they immediately duck to dodge it, but their hair catches on fire. Cassidy and Butch immediately scream in pain as the gang and Mondo cringe.

"Squirtle quick, Water Gun!" Jessie immediately sends out Squirtle.

Squirtle uses Water Gun and manages to put the fire out of Cassidy and Butch's hair as they sigh in relief.

"Twerp, just send out Koffing already!" Cassidy demanded.

"And return your damn Clefairy, twerpette! It's not helping!" Butch insulted.

"Okay, okay geez. Clefairy, return!" Domino recalls Clefairy back to its Poké Ball.

Jessie also recalls Squirtle back to its Poké Ball as well.

"B-but… fine. Koffing, come on out." James sends out Koffing.

"Koffing!"

James looks at Team Rocket, who was grinning, and then at his friends, they sadly nod. He sighs. "Alright, Koffing-"

James was cut off by the vibration of the ship as the gang and Team Rocket rolled to the left. It cuts to the outside of the ship, where we see rain and lightning striking in the background. Giant waves are hitting the ship. It cuts back to the storage room.

"James, tell Koffing now!" Domino yelled out.

James was about to tell Koffing to use Explosion, but objects started falling off the shelves from the S.S. Anne, getting hit by giant waves.

"TAKE COVER!" Jessie yelled.

James immediately recalls Koffing back to its Poké Ball. The gang and Team Rocket try their best to dodge each object that was falling their way. However, a big vibration is heard as they fling back against the wall. It cuts to the outside as an even bigger giant wave hits the S.S. Anne. We see people in lifeboats in the ocean, rowing away from the ship. It cuts back to the storage room, where the wave was so strong that it managed to tip the shelves over, falling toward the gang and Team Rocket.

"This is one huge storm!" Cassidy says, worried.

The gang and Team Rocket managed to slide out of the way before the shelves could hit them. They sighed in relief.

"That was a close one…" Mondo says.

"Alright, we have to go through this plan now-"

All of a sudden the ship starts vibrating more, cutting Butch off mid-sentence. It cuts to the outside as a ginormous wave hits the S.S. Anne, which capsized the ship. Back to the storage room, the gang and Team Rocket screamed as they all fell and hit the roof, which is now basically the floor from the ship being tipped over upside down. They all got knocked out from the impact. Time skips as Meowth peeks out of Jessie's pink hat.

"Huh?" Meowth steps out of the hat and looks around. He noticed that he was standing on the roof of the ship now and the floor is now the ceiling. He then notices his trainers, her friends, and Team Rocket are unconscious. "I love this part!" Meowth grins as he sharpens his claws and scratches the gang and Team Rocket back to consciousness.

"OW, MEOWTH!" Jessie yelled out, rubbing her face with her hands.

"Hey, I had to wake you guys up somehow! Look around ya!" Meowth says.

The gang and Team Rocket all look around as they also notice that they're standing on the roof now and the floor is above them.

"What the? What happened?" Cassidy asked.

"I think that gigantic wave that hit the ship must've capsized the S.S. Anne," Domino answered.

James connects the dots. "So that means… WE'RE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN?!"

It cuts to the S.S. Anne that is indeed at the bottom of the ocean and upside down then back to the gang and Team Rocket.

"Just fucking fantastic, now what?!" Butch asked in frustration.

"Okay, let's all calm down." Domino begins to think. "Okay, we're still in the basement and the ship is upside down."

"So that means we went from the lowest point of the ship to the highest point?" Mondo questioned.

Domino nods. "Right. We just make a hole in the ceiling, and as the water starts falling, we use our water Pokémon to quickly swim up to the surface. I hope you all are good at holding your breath."

Everyone else gulps.

"I hate water, I don't want to get my fur wet!" Meowth complained.

"Well, do you want to get in your Poké Ball then?" Jessie asked.

"No way! I'll just hide in your hat like last time." Meowth responded.

Jessie groans. "You really hate being inside of a Poké Ball huh…"

"Wait a minute…" Cassidy starts counting on her fingers. "Rattata… Mankey… Cubone… neither of us has a water Pokémon!"

"Well, James is borrowing Goldeen," Domino says.

James smiles "Thanks, Domino!"

"WHAT ABOUT US?!" Butch yelled.

"Maybe I can switch one of my Pokémon out for Gyarados?" Jessie pulls out her Pokédex and tries to switch one of her Pokémon for Gyarados.

However, this message pops out in the Pokédex. "No service, Pokédex inaccessible."

"Or maybe not…" Jessie puts away her Pokédex. "Sorry, Team Rocket."

"You can't just leave us here to die!" Mondo says in disbelief.

The gang all huddle up.

"Mondo is right, we can't leave Team Rocket here to die," Domino says.

Jessie looks annoyed. "But Team Rocket are bad. You know they're just gonna continue following us to steal Meowth after we help them."

Meowth nods. "Yeah, let 'em perish!"

James immediately shakes his head. "But Team Rocket are still humans, I know they're bad, but they don't deserve death."

"Yeah you two, we have to help them!" Domino declared.

"Alright, message received. So what's the plan here?" Jessie asked.

Domino thought of a plan as the gang all stopped huddling.

Domino takes a deep breath. "I got an idea." Domino takes out two Poké Balls. "Jessie, send out Squirtle."

Jessie nods in agreement as she takes out Squirtle's Poké Ball.

"Goldeen and Starmie, come on out!" Domino sends out Goldeen and Starmie.

"Goldeen!"

"Hyah!"

"Squirtle, I choose you!" Jessie sends out Squirtle.

"Squirtle!"

"James, I want you to hold onto Goldeen, Team Rocket, you three hold onto Starmie," Domino commanded.

The Team Rocket trio immediately nodded in response.

"Wh-what about you? You can't swim up." Jessie asked, worried.

"As an expert in water-type Pokémon, I trained myself to hold my breath really long. I'll wait till the room is completely filled with the water, then I'll swim back up to the surface," Domino explained.

"B-but we're at the bottom of the ocean, are you sure?" James says.

Domino nods. "I'm sure. James, send out Charmander to create a hole upwards."

James takes out Charmander's Poké Ball. "Charmander, create a hole upwards for us!" He sends out the Pokémon.

"Charmander!" Charmander starts using Flamethrower, burning a hole upwards of the sunken ship.

James holds onto Goldeen, Team Rocket holds onto Starmie, and Jessie holds onto Squirtle, Meowth quickly gets under Jessie's hat, and Domino braces for water as Charmander continues creating a hole with its Flamethrower and succeeds as a rush of water comes pouring in.

"EEP!" James immediately recalls Charmander back to its Poké Ball, before the water starts filling the storage room.

Goldeen, with James hanging on, Starmie, with Team Rocket hanging on, and Squirtle, with Jessie hanging on and Meowth hiding in her hat, all start swimming up the stream as Domino stays behind and waits for the room to be flooded while making sure to stay up in the surface before the whole room gets flooded. It cuts to Goldeen, Squirtle, and Starmie all swimming up towards the surface with Jessie, James, and Team Rocket all holding their breath. Squirtle and Goldeen are closer to the surface because Starmie carries more weight, but the three Pokémon eventually make it to the surface as Jessie, James, and Team Rocket take a major deep breath.

Jessie looks around and spots a raft of driftwood. "Look, a raft!"

"Let's go!" Cassidy commanded.

Goldeen, Squirtle, and Starmie all swim towards the raft as Jessie, James, and Team Rocket pull themselves on it. Meowth stops hiding from Jessie's hat.

"This cat isn't wet!" Meowth says, cheerfully.

"Alright, let's go and find land!" Butch declared.

Jessie and James, and even Mondo look at Butch in disgust.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Jessie says in disbelief.

Butch blankly stares. "What?"

"We're not going anywhere until Domino surfaces!" James says in anger.

"Yeah, even I think you shouldn't have said that, Butch," Mondo says.

Butch crosses his arms and looks away. "Fine."

It cuts back to the capsized S.S. Anne as the storage room is close to filling up with water.

Domino is still keeping her head up on the surface as the water is getting closer and closer to completely submerging her head in the water.

"Alright… here goes," Domino says to herself. Thinking the room is filled with enough water to allow her to escape.

Domino takes the biggest deep breath of her lifetime and goes underwater. She quickly swims out of the ship from the hole and starts swimming towards the surface.

"Come on Domino, you can make it," Domino says to herself in her mind, continuing swimming up towards the surface.

It cuts back to the surface of the raft where Jessie, James, and Team Rocket are. Jessie, James, Meowth, and Mondo look worried about Domino not surfacing yet.

"Come on Domino! Where are you?" Jessie starts looking around for her.

"Guys, stop worrying. I'm sure she's alright." Cassidy says.

Jessie, James, and Meowth shoot a glare at Cassidy.

Meowth crosses his arms. "You know, we could've just left ya two fools down there to die!"

"That was so uncalled for!" Cassidy snapped back.

"Yeah, very uncalled for!" Butch added.

"Then how about you don't say any more stupid things!" James commanded.

"And maybe also show at least you both care about Domino?" Jessie added. "Like your buddy, Mondo."

Cassidy and Butch both look at each other with a concerned look. It cuts to Squirtle, Goldeen, and Starmie looking at each other and worried about Domino. The three Pokémon immediately dive back underwater to go after her.

It cuts to Domino still swimming to the surface, but her vision starts to fade from holding her breath too long and she still has some distance to the surface.

Domino notices she can't hold her breath for too long and continues talking in her mind. "Oh no… I'm not gonna make it. Well… looks like this is the end for me. I'm sorry, Mother and Father, I'm sorry I was a disappointing daughter. Goodbye, Jessie and James."

We see Domino's P.O.V of eye blinking transition from Domino slowly giving up as her eyes close. It's silent, nothing but blackness, however, Domino hears the calling of her name.

"Domino, please open your eyes!"

"Domino, wake up!"

"Come on Domino, wake up!"

It transits Domino's eyes opening as we see the sky, clouds, Jessie, James, Meowth, and even Team Rocket looking over her in concern. It cuts out of Domino's P.O.V.

"I'm… alive?" Domino quickly sets up and looks around. "Where are we?"

"We're on a raft, but that doesn't matter, you're okay!" Jessie says.

Jessie, James, and Meowth both hug Domino as she does hug back. The Team Rocket trio look on and smile seeing them hug each other.

"I thought I was a goner for sure. How did I get here?" Domino asked.

"Goldeen, Starmie, and Squirtle all went back underwater, they spotted you, grabbed you and they swam so fast to get you back on the surface," James says.

Jessie continues the story. "We pulled you up on the raft and we quickly gave you CPR."

"Really?" Domino slowly gets up and looks at the three Pokémon, Goldeen, Starmie, and Squirtle, who are still in the water. "Thank you so much you three!"

"Goldeen! Squirtle! HYAH!" The Pokémon all happily smile back at Domino.

Domino recalls her two Pokémon back to their Poké Ball as Jessie recalls Squirtle back to its Poké Ball.

"Okay, now that we know Domino is okay. Let's try to find some land, now." Cassidy says.

The gang and Team Rocket all look around, however, they all see just the ocean, no land.

"I don't see any land," Jessie confirmed.

"How far are we?" Cassidy asked.

"We have no idea, we're not even sure if we're still in Kanto," Domino answered.

"Don't one of you twerps have a Pokémon that can fly or something?" Butch asked.

"Right, I do!" Jessie takes out a Poké Ball. "Pidgeotto, I choose you!" She sends out Pidgeotto.

"Pidgeotto!"

"Pidgeotto, I need you to try to look for land. Come back for an update!" Jessie commanded.

Pidgeotto nods and flies off to look for land.

Cassidy crosses her arms. "I hope that bird can find land."

"I believe in Pidgeotto that it can!" Jessie responded.

Time skips to everyone still waiting for Pidgeotto to return. Team Rocket got tired of standing, so they're currently sitting on the raft now. Pidgeotto finally returns to the group.

"Pidgeotto!"

"Pidgeotto, did you find any land nearby?" Jessie asked.

"Pidgeotto…" The Pokémon sadly shook its head no in response.

"That's okay. You did great, Pidgeotto. Thank you! Return." Jessie recalls Pidgeotto back to its Poké Ball.

"So much for believing," Meowth says.

"Hey, Pidgeotto did its best!" Jessie responded.

Butch growls in anger. "Now what?! There's no land at all! We're lost in the middle of the ocean!"

"Calm down, Botch!" James says.

"THE NAME IS BUTCH!" Butch yelled.

"I guess we just wait until another ship or helicopter spots and rescues us," Mondo suggested.

"Ugh, I'm never going on a stupid ship ever again!" Cassidy says in anger.

Jessie looks at Cassidy, annoyed. "Would you rather not be rescued at all?"

Cassidy looks away, annoyed as well. "I guess I'll make one exception."

Everyone just waits for another ship or helicopter to come by. Time skips to evening and the gang and Team Rocket are still waiting.

Cassidy growls. "No one's gonna rescue us!"

"It's getting late anyway. Well, at least the sweet sound of the ocean will make us sleep faster." Domino says.

"Yeah, but sleeping on wood? That sounds really uncomfortable for my liking." James says.

"Because your ass is so used to sleeping on really comfortable king-size beds, you stupid rich people!" Butch says.

"SHUT UP, BUTCHER!" James punches Butch in anger in the face, which knocks him out.

"Well… you helped him put him to sleep," Mondo says with a chuckle.

Time skips to night with everyone sleeping peacefully on the raft. Then it cuts to day with everyone awake now and hungry.

Meowth starts complaining. "I'm starving like crazy here!"

"Meowth, complaining about will only make us hungrier!" Jessie says.

Domino notices a stick nearby floating in the water and grabs it.

Cassidy notices. "What are you doing, twerpette?"

"I'm making something," Domino responded. "Does anyone have a string, thread maybe?"

Jessie looks in her purse and notices some string. "I got some string here." She reaches into her purse to grab some string and hands it to Domino.

Domino happily accepts it. "Thank you." She begins making something.

Jessie, James, Meowth, and Team Rocket all look at each other in confusion because of what Domino is doing.

"And… done!" Domino reveals to them that she tied a knot with the string on one of the ends of the stick.

"What's that?" James asked.

"It's a handmade fishing pole, duh!" Domino answered.

"I thought you already had a fishing pole, Domino?" Jessie says, confused.

"Left it back on the now sunken S.S. Anne. But there's one thing I gladly didn't leave behind." Domino reaches into her pocket and pulls out a fishing lure. "My lure!" She attaches her lure to her handmade fishing pole and casts it in the water.

"You're fishing?" Butch says.

"Don't worry, this all will make sense once I catch something," Domino responded.

A lot of time has passed, Jessie, James, Meowth, and Team Rocket are playing I Spy to pass the game, while Domino is still waiting for a bite.

Butch looks around. "I spy with my little eye, something blue."

"Let me guess… the ocean?" Cassidy asked, looking annoyed.

Butch shakes his head. "Nah!"

Mondo takes a guess, also looking annoyed. "The sky…?"

Butch shakes his head once more "Nope!"

"Uhh… my eyes?" Jessie guessed.

"Now why would I look at your stupid eyes?" Butch insulted.

"HEY, I'M TRYING ALL OPTIONS!" Jessie responded by yelling.

Domino shushes Jessie. "You're gonna scare the Pokémon."

"Sorry, I'm just so hungry!" Jessie says.

"What is it then?" Meowth asked.

"The twerp's hair." Butch points at James.

James falls in disbelief. "IT'S LAVENDER, NOT BLUE, BIFF!"

"THE NAME IS BUTCH, CAN'T YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD?!" Butch yelled back.

James and Butch continue yelling at each other with Jessie, Cassidy, and Mondo looking at each other weirdly with Meowth grinning.

Domino immediately shushes the two. "Can you all stop yelling, so I can catch a damn Pokémon with my fishing pole?!"

"No one literally cares if you catch a new Pokémon for your little team," Butch says, annoyed.

"I'm not catching one to add to my team, dumbass!" Domino insulted.

"Then why are you fishing?" Mondo asked.

"I'm fishing because-"

Before Domino could finish her sentence, her lure, while in the water, starts moving.

"Hey, I got something!" Domino tries to reel it in, but can't. "Guys, help me out here!"

Jessie, James, Meowth, and Team Rocket all get behind Domino and all of them help her reel in what she caught. A Magikarp splashes out of the water and lands on the wooden raft.

"Magikarp! Magikarp! Magikarp!" The Magikarp is flopping on the raft.

" A Magikarp…" Jessie says while staring at the Pokémon.

Jessie, James, Domino, and Meowth all begin getting horrible flashbacks from Pewter Gym blowing up, because of Magikarp evolving.

"M-maybe we should just release it back in the water," James says, sweating nervously.

"No way! We did not help you reel that Pokémon in twerpette for nothing!" Cassidy says in anger.

"Yeah! What's the big deal here?!" Butch added.

"Okay fine. I know we're all really hungry out here. So… I was basically fishing for our meal." Domino admitted, rubbing her arm nervously.

Jessie and James both gasped in shock.

"Wh-what happened to Pokémon being our best friends?" Jessie asked, confused.

James nods. "Y-yeah!"

Domino sighs in sadness. "Guys… we're really hungry here. Obviously, no one isn't going to rescue us and we're going to starve to death if we don't eat anything! I know Pokémon are supposed to be our friends, but… when it comes to survival, we need to eat something!"

Meowth shrugs. "Meh, what I know is that there is an 'end' in 'friend', also, I love me some fish Pokémon!"

"I'm pretty sure we three don't care about eating this Magikarp, right?" Cassidy looks at Butch and Mondo.

"Nope, don't care," Butch says.

However, Mondo didn't respond immediately and thought about it. "Yeah… we don't care."

Jessie and James both look at each other and frown.

"Well… we gotta do anything to survive," Jessie says.

James sighs. "Yeah… we sadly do."

"I call dibs on the first bite!" Meowth takes a bite out of Magikarp, which ends up breaking his teeth. "AHHHH, MY TEETH!"

"Wait a minute…" Dominate remembers something and falls in disbelief. "OH NO, I FORGOT!"

Everyone looks at Domino. "What?" They all said together.

"Magikarp is just scales and bones, which means… we can't eat it!" Domino confirmed.

Everyone stays silent for a couple of seconds after what Domino said, before they all release a scream in disbelief.

Cassidy stomps her foot in anger. "I'm so damn hungry! All that waiting for a meal, wasted, thanks to that stupid Magikarp!"

Butch punts the Magikarp back into the ocean. "Fucking useless fish!"

"NO!" The gang all screamed.

"What?" Butch asked, confused.

"Karp! Karp! Karp!" The Magikarp starts slowly glowing white.

"WE BETTER START ROWING!" Domino screamed out.

Jessie, James, Domino, and Meowth all start rowing the wooden raft away from the glowing Pokémon with their hands, as it slowly starts evolving into a Gyarados. The Pokémon roars at the gang and Team Rocket in anger, which causes everyone to scream in fear. Team Rocket now helps row the raft with their hands as the Pokémon start swimming toward them.

"WE GOTTA ROW FASTER!" Domino demanded.

James is frightened. "I DON'T WANNA DIE! I DON'T WANNA DIE! I DON'T WANNA DIE!"

It's now basically a chase, the gang and Team Rocket trying their best to get away from Gyarados by rowing the raft fast with their hands and the Pokémon still swimming after them. Gyarados is getting closer and closer to them because of it being faster.

"OH FUCK, IT'S GAINING UP ON US!" Butch pointed out.

Domino stops rowing with her hands and pulls out an empty Poké Ball. "Maybe trying to catch it will give us more time. Poké Ball go!" She tosses the empty Poké Ball at Gyarados.

The Poké Ball hits the Pokémon as it goes in and the Poké Ball makes a splash to the ocean and sinks.

"Alright we got time-"

Gyarados immediately bursts out of the Poké Ball before Domino could even finish her sentence.

"EEP!" James yelled.

Gyarados roars and shoots out a yellow-orange beam of energy from its mouth at the gang and Team Rocket.

"HYPER BEAM!" Domino yelled.

"ELECTABUZZ, THUNDERBOLT!" Jessie immediately sends Electabuzz into battle with the Gyarados.

"ELEBUBUBUBUBU!" Electabuzz immediately releases powerful bolts of yellow lightning from its horns or its body right at the Hyper Beam.

Both of the moves collide which causes an explosion. Gyarados can't move for a while now.

"Why can't it move?" Cassidy asked.

"It's recharging from that Hyper Beam!" Domino answered.

"Good, let's get out of here!" Meowth demanded.

"No!" Mondo objects. "should attack it once more and faint it!"

"Twerpette, attack it once more!" Cassidy demanded Jessie.

"Come on Jessie, continue rowing with us!" Domino also demanded.

Jessie starts thinking of what decision, either trying to escape or attacking it again to possibly faint. She can't make a decision. "I-I don't know what to do!"

All of a sudden, Gyarados lets out a powerful roar, causing everyone to look at the Pokémon in confusion.

"Did that Gyarados just roar?" James asked.

"Now what the fuck did it do that?" Butch added.

"Maybe it will finally leave us alone!" Meowth says with a grin.

Domino gulps. "It's not that Meowth, we better start rowing away right now!" She goes back to rowing the raft away from the Gyarados.

All of a sudden, four more Gyarados rise to the surface, causing everyone to scream.

"It's Dragon Rage… a very powerful Dragon-type move!" Domino explained.

The gang and Team Rocket all start immediately rowing away from the five Gyarados.

"We're so completely fucked!" Butch says in disbelief while rowing.

"Maybe if we row faster, we can escape it!" James suggested.

"Good idea!" Jessie phrased.

Everyone starts rowing the raft faster as the five Gyarados all start swirling around in a circle. All of them are combining their Dragon Rages.

"ROW FASTER!" Cassidy demanded.

Everyone shouts back at Cassidy. "WE'RE TRYING!"

The Gyarados swirl faster and faster, creating a large water spout as the gang and Team Rocket scream, even more, frightened than before.

"I don't think we can make it. I don't spot land anywhere!" Domino says.

"I just wanted to get to Celadon City!" Jessie says.

"Row faster and we can get there!" James responded.

"But James, no one had escaped Dragon Rage before!" Domino said.

"WHAT?!" Everyone says in shock.

The large water sprout gets closer and closer to the gang and Team Rocket as it's just too fast for them.

"We are so dead…" Mondo says, accepting his fate.

Dragon Rage hits and everyone is sucked inside. As Team Rocket flew upward, they blasted off the earliest.

"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" Ding!

Meanwhile, the gang, still in the water sprout, are all holding hands together, trying their best not to let go of their grip and they continue spinning over and over.

"I'm getting dizzy over here!" Meowth yelled.

James starts accepting his fate. "I'm going to miss you, it's nice knowing all of you!"

"James, just don't let go and we should be fine!" Jessie says.

After Jessie says that, unfortunately, everyone loses their grip and is pulled even further into the water spout as they get blasted off as well.

"Their underwater escape ends with our heroes trapped in a water cyclone from the Dragon Rage by the five Gyarados! Maybe Butch shouldn't have kicked that Magikarp, huh? Talk about a fiendish twist of fate! With things spiraling out of control, will Jessie and her friends ever make it to dry land again? Or are their Pokémon adventures already over before we know it? Find out if the journey continues!"
