Chereads / AU: Jessie’s Pokémon Journey / Chapter 32 - How to Train Your Electabuzz

Chapter 32 - How to Train Your Electabuzz

The episode starts with Jessie and a random Pokémon trainer dressed up as a Rocker, both in battle stance. Domino, James, and Meowth are ready to watch it from the sides.

The Rocker pulls out a Poké Ball. "Voltorb, let's go!" He sends Voltorb into battle.

"Voltorb!"

"Whoa! What's that Pokémon?" Jessie pulls out her Pokédex.

"Voltorb, the sphere Pokémon. An electric type. Usually found in power plants. Easily mistaken for a Poké Ball, they have zapped many people."

Jessie puts her Pokédex away and pulls out a Poké Ball. "Then I'll fight electricity with electricity! Electabuzz, I choose you!" She sends Electabuzz into battle.

"ELEBUBUBU!"

Domino whispers to Meowth and James. "I just noticed Voltorb has red on top. I hope Electabuzz won't notice and go insane…"

"I'm sure Electabuzz got over it already?" James replied, not sure.

Meowth grins. "This is going to be interesting."

Electabuzz notices the red on top of Voltorb and starts getting extremely mad. "ELEBUBUBU!"

"Tackle, Voltorb!" The Rocker commanded.

"Voltorb!" The Pokémon immediately dashes toward Electabuzz, but Electabuzz easily dodges the move.

Jessie smiles. "Nice dodging, Electabuzz! Now use-"

Before Jessie could call out any move, Electabuzz immediately dashed towards Voltorb with anger in their eyes. The Pokémon extremely destroys the Rocker's Voltorb with a punch.

"Voltorb!" The Pokémon cries in pain.

"Voltorb, no!" The Rocker called out.

Jessie and her friends immediately gasped in shock after witnessing how strong Electabuzz's punch was.

The title screen shows.

"How to Train Your Electabuzz."

It's been revealed that Voltorb has fainted from the powerful punch by Electabuzz.

"Voltorb, return!" The Rocker recalls Voltorb back into its Poké Ball.

"So… I won?" Jessie says, still confused about the outcome of the battle.

The Rocker glares at Jessie. "Your Electabuzz needs more training. I have never seen such a careless trainer!" The Rocker trainer wanders off and leaves the scene.

Jessie's eyes widened before looking at Electabuzz who was still extremely angry. "Let's just head back on the trail to Fuchsia City."

It cuts to the gang back on the trail and walking with Electabuzz still out of its Poké Ball and walking with them.

Domino spots something in the distance and immediately points it out. "Hey! I see a lake!"

The rest of the gang including Electabuzz turn in the direction where Domino pointed out to see the nearby lake.

"Okay and…?" Meowth questioned. "We all know you're a big fan of water." The Pokémon rolls his eyes.

"We have been walking a lot recently and I think we deserve a little break, a lunch break more specifically. Is anyone else hungry?" Domino asked.

A moment of silence happened for a few seconds before Jessie's stomach growled, signaling she was indeed hungry.

Jessie blushes in embarrassment. "Alright, let's have a lunch break."

James' stomach then also growls causing him to blush in embarrassment too. "Yeah, l also agree." He chuckles.

Meowth rolls his eyes. "Well, you three can-" Meowth's sentence cuts off after his stomach soon growls. "Yeah, let's eat by the lake!"

"Yes!" Domino cheers in joy.

It cuts to the gang, with Electabuzz, setting up a picnic right near the lake Domino pointed out earlier.

"I just got another idea. Why don't we all send out our Pokémon to enjoy this and not just us? Don't you guys think it's tiring being trapped in that ball for a while?" Domino suggested.

"Elebububu!" Electabuzz nods in agreement.

"Yeah, I agree with the electric tiger," Meowth says.

"I like that idea. Some fresh air for our Pokémon!" Jessie praised.

James nods in agreement. "Although, unfortunately, Gastley cannot join us because of the sun."

"Just have Gastly under the shade of that tree next to the pond. They can hide in the shade, right?" Domino asked.

James thinks for a bit. "I guess it's worth a try."

The gang all pull out of their Poké Balls containing each Pokémon they have in their possessions. "Alright everyone, come on out!" The gang all said before sending out every single one of their Pokémon.

All of Jessie's other Pokémon cries out in joy. "Squirtle!" "Neigh!" "Rina!" "Pidgeotto!"

So does Domino's Pokémon. "Goldeen!" "HYAH!" Clefairy!" "Bulbasaur!"

And James' Pokémon, except Gastly, too. "Koffing!" "Pikachu!" "Charmander!" "Slow… bro!"

James then proceeds to stand in the shade that the tree is casting. "I hope this works…" he then proceeds to send Gastly out.

Gastly emerges from the Poké Ball. "You absolute buffoon! It's still day, why did you send me out?!"

"SORRY!" James apologizes. "I just want you to hang out with the other Pokémon! Besides, at least I sent you out under shade from a tree so that you don't get burnt from the sun?"

Gastly looks around and rolls their eyes. "Fine, but I'm staying under this shade!"

"Got it." James chuckles and rubs the back of his head.

It cuts to the gang waiting for their food to be cooked and all of their Pokémon are doing activities with each other.

The activities: Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur are chatting with each other, Meowth and Gastly are having a contest to prove who's the better talking Pokémon with, Pikachu, Clefairy, Ponyta, Koffing and Nidorina watching, Starmie and Goldeen are happily swimming in the pond right next to the picnic, Pidgeotto is happily flying in the air, Slowbro is sleeping, and Electabuzz is facing away from everyone and acting like an outcast.

Jessie looks over to see her Electabuzz all by itself. "Electabuzz?" She was about to stand up and talk to them.

"The hotdogs are ready!" James announced, having a plate full of hotdogs in his hands.

Jessie immediately sits back down. "I can't wait to eat, I'm so hungry!"

Domino nods. "Me too!"

James places the plate full of hotdogs on the picnic mat. "And I got some ketchup!" Then he pulls out some ketchup.

Electabuzz looks over to see the redness of the ketchup in James' hand. The Pokémon starts getting extremely angry. "ELEBUBUBU!"

"Huh?" The gang said in confusion, they looked to see Electabuzz dashing towards them with anger.

"EEP!" James shrieks and drops the ketchup bottle in fear.

Electabuzz Thunder Punches the ketchup bottle in the sky, destroying it.

"I guess there will be no ketchup then…" James frowns.

"Electabuzz, what is your problem?!" Jessie scowled at the electric tiger.

Electabuzz looks around to see the red parts of Charmander's flame on its tail. The Pokémon starts to get angry once more. "ELEBUBUBU!" Electabuzz now starts dashing toward Charmander.

"CHARMANDER LOOK OUT!" James warned.

"Char?" The Pokémon cried in confusion until it looked to see Electabuzz dashing toward it while charging its Thunder Punch. "Char!" Charmander immediately slides out of the way to dodge the move, then it uses Ember right at Electabuzz, but the electric tiger dodges too.

All of the gang's Pokémon, minus Gastly, and Meowth to watch the drama, Slowbro because it was sleeping, and Goldeen because it can only move in the water, immediately stop what they are doing and step in front of Electabuzz to protect Charmander. Electabuzz looks around to see a bunch of red on the Pokémon, like Ponyta's flames, Pikachu's red pouches on its cheeks, and Starmie's red core of its gem.

Electabuzz starts to go crazy from all the red it's seeing. "ELEBUBU!" The Pokémon proceeds to run off.

"ELECTABUZZ!" The gang shouted.

"Quick, let's recall all of our Pokémon and chase after Electabuzz!" Domino demanded.

"Right!" Both Jessie and James agreed.

"Everyone, return!" The gang all recall their Pokémon back into their Poké Balls, except Jessie who doesn't recall Meowth because of the feline's dislike towards Poké Balls and Electabuzz because of running off just now. The gang soon sprint off where Electabuzz went off.

It cuts to where Team Rocket is currently, spying on the gang with binoculars from a distance.

"It seems the twerpette's Electabuzz hates the color red." Cassidy pointed out.

Butch pulls back his binoculars to look at Cassidy in confusion. "How's that so important with stealing Meowth?"

"Oh it's not, I just want to point that out," Cassidy admitted.

Butch and Mondo both fall in disbelief before getting back up.

"Just think of a plan to steal that Meowth! I think the boss is getting mildly impatient with our failures." Mondo says, shaking a little in fear.

"Well stop talking so I can think of something!" Cassidy demanded.

"Cassidy actually thinking?" Butch scoffs. "That's new."

Mondo chuckles. "Good one, Butch."

Cassidy hits Butch right on the head, leaving a red mark on it.

"OW!" Butch yelled out in pain. "Why I oughta-"

Cassidy shushes him. "You're gonna give away our position if you yell like that!"

"Yeah, Bruno! Don't give away our position!" Mondo says with another chuckle.

"THE NAME IS-"

Butch gets interrupted by another punch by Cassidy right on the head. "I said be quiet!"

Butch holds back his year from pain and just rubs his head with his hands to ease the pain.

"Now let me think of a plan, you two!" Cassidy demanded.

Butch and Mondo stay silent for a few minutes so that Cassidy can think of a new plan to steal Jessie's Meowth.

Cassidy snaps her fingers. "I got it! Follow me!"

Cassidy leaves the scene with Butch and Mondo following right behind her. It cuts to where Electabuzz is currently running at. The Pokémon stumbles upon a wild Venonat.

"Venonat!" The wild Pokémon cried out.

Electabuzz looks at the red eyes of Venonat and starts getting angry. "ELEBUBUBU!" The Pokémon punches the wild Venonat with its electrified fist.

"VENONAT!" The wild Pokémon cries in pain as it takes a lot of damage from the Thunder Punch!

"ELECTABUZZ RETURN!" Jessie arrives at the scene with Electabuzz's Poké Ball in hand and immediately recalls the Pokémon.

Soon, Domino, James, and Meowth arrive behind her.

Domino notices the hurt and now paralyzed Venonat and screams out loud. "BUG POKÉMON!" She immediately hides behind James in fear.

Meowth rolls his eyes. "You will never overcome that fear at all huh?"

Jessie gasped, seeing the hurt and paralyzed Venonat. "Oh no, that poor Venonat!" She immediately runs toward the wild Pokémon and picks it up with her hands.

"Venonat..." The wild Pokémon cries out in exhaustion.

"Don't worry, I should have some Paralyzed Heal and a Potion." James drops his backpack on the ground, unzips it, and starts digging in to find the necessary items to heal Venonat. He eventually pulls the two items out of his backpack. "Got them! Alright Jessie, set the Venonat down carefully."

Jessie nods. "Got it." She carefully sets the injured and paralyzed down on the ground.

"Venonat…" The wild Pokémon weakly cries out.

James kneels near Venonat with Potion and Paralyzed Heal in his hands. "Both are gonna sting for a few seconds, okay? But it should help you." He says to the Venonat. "Let's take care of that paralysis first." James sprays the Paralyzed Heal right on the Venonat.

"Venonat!" The Pokémon cries in pain from getting sprayed with Paralyzed Heal.

Jessie notices Venonat's paralysis is gone and smiles. "Hey, the paralysis is gone!"

"And now time for the Potion!" James soon sprays Potion on the wild Venonat.

The wild Venonat was prepared for the sting that was going to happen and this time didn't cry in pain. The wild Venonat soon gets on its two feet and starts happily jumping around. "Venonat!" The wild Pokémon cheerfully cries out.

James chuckles. "Anytime!"

However, a bunch of Pokémon with varying shades of purple, symbolizing a moth, pops out of the bushes one after one surrounding the gang.

Domino screams out even more loud. "MORE BUG POKÉMON! GO AWAY, GO AWAY!"

"Domino you idiot, you're going to make them even more angier!" Meowth shouted at her.

Jessie quickly opens up her Pokédex to identify these Pokémon that are surrounding her and her friends.

"Venomoth, the Poison Moth Pokémon. The evolved form of Venonat. A bug and poison-type Pokémon. The dust-like scales covering its wings are color-coded to indicate the kinds of poison it has."

"Wait, 'the evolved form of Venonat?'" Jessie puts on her Pokédex and looks at the Venonat that James took care of.

James gulps in fear. "I-I think this little guy is a part of their family."

"Which means?" Meowth asked.

"WHICH MEANS WE SHOULD START RUNNING!" Domino immediately sprints off extremely fast to get away from the angry Venomoth. The rest of the gang soon follow her as the Venomoth start chasing them.

The Venomoth swoops in, trying to latch onto the gang's head to bite them, but the gang manages to dodge every time by ducking their heads at the right moment and continue running.

"What are they trying to do?!" Jessie asked while running.

"I think they're trying to use Leech Life to suck the energy out of us with a bite!" Domino answered while running as well.

"Aw man, I hate vampire Venomoth!" Meowth says while jumping onto Jessie's shoulder and getting under her pink hat to protect himself.

Jessie immediately pulls out an empty Poké Ball from her purse. "Poké Ball, go!" She turns around toward the Venomoth and throws it at one of them.

The Venomoth, that Jessie threw the Poké Ball towards, dodges it to prevent itself from being captured.

"Aw, shit!" Jessie turns back around to continue running with a Venomoth almost biting Jessie in the arm, but she manages to avoid it at the last second.

Domino sees clear land and points it out. "I see something ahead!"

The gang uses up all of their energy to sprint to exit the forest that they were in. The Venomoth stop chasing them as they fly back into the forest. The gang all catch their breath from exhaustion.

Meowth peeks under Jessie's pink hat. "Are they gone?"

"Yeah, they're gone, Meowth," James confirmed.

Meowth hops back onto the ground from Jessie's head.

"Jessie, your Electabuzz hating the color red almost led us to danger!" Domino says, making a point.

James nods in agreement. "I think you should train it to not hate the color red."

"Nonsense!" Jessie responded in denial. "It was a misunderstanding that led us to danger. Those Venomoth thought we were harming their Venonat and chased us. So I was right, it was just a complete misunderstanding!"

Meowth rolls his eyes. "Whatever helps you sleep at night."

The gang and even Meowth's stomach all growls, as they groan.

Domino looks down, frowns, and holds her stomach. "The running made us even more hungry than before."

"We didn't even get to eat those hotdogs." James frowns too.

"All because of Electabuzz!" Meowth growls.

Jessie turns to Meowth in anger. "It's not Electabuzz's fault!"

Domino spots something in the distance and it looks like a sign. "Hey guys, check this out."

The gang all look where Domino is looking at and they all see the sign as well.

"It looks like some sign, but I can't read it from here. Let's get a closer look." James suggested.

The gang all walk towards the sign as they read it. The sign says 'Red Town.'

"'Red Town?' What's Red Town?" Jessie questioned.

James looks at the map to find this particular town on it but finds nothing. "It's not on the map, that's strange…"

Meowth starts to smile in delight. "Maybe the town has a restaurant!"

Domino looks at Meowth in disbelief. "Really?"

"Hey! When I'm starving, all I can think of is food!" Meowth fired back at the blonde.

"We might as well go ahead and find a restaurant to eat," Jessie says.

It cuts to the gang arriving at the entrance of Red Town. The gang all expresses in shock to see everything in Red Town is colored in red. The buildings, sidewalks, the fountain, and the water of it is dyed red, even the townsfolk are wearing nothing but red clothing.

"Well… I think I just figured out why this place is called Red Town." Domino says.

"Everything is red here, I don't see anything in a different color other than red," James added.

"I would hate to lose a red crayon in this place." Meowth also added.

"Let's just enter the town," Jessie suggested.

The gang all enter this town and the townsfolk immediately start staring at them with a weirded out expression. The gang looks around and starts feeling uncomfortable.

"People are staring at us…" Domino whispery says.

"Maybe it's because we're not wearing all red. Just ignore them, continue walking, and find a restaurant." James whispers back.

Jessie nods. "Got it."

"I hate being an outcast," Meowth whispers.

"Excuse me, but how can I help you three?" A man in a red suit with a red tie, and a red top hat, approaches the gang.

"We're just hungry, that's all and we're looking for a restaurant," Jessie answered.

"Well, I'm the mayor of Red Town." The mayor introduces himself. "We have a policy here that restricts any type of color clothing other than the color red."

"Look, sir, we're just hungry right now and we desperately need some food right now. Can we just stay for a little bit to eat, please?" Domino asked.

"We will leave right away after!" James added.

The mayor thinks for a little bit then he nods in agreement. "I guess I can't let you people starve. Follow me and I'll lead you to the nearest restaurant." The mayor begins leading the gang to the nearest restaurant.

The gang all smile at each other in delight.

"We're finally going to eat!" Jessie says.

"Food here we come!" James added.

"Do you think the people are still staring at us?" Domino asked.

"Just ignore them," Meowth responded. "Stare all they want, we're going to fill our tummies!"

It cuts to the mayor finishing leading the gang to a restaurant painted in absolute red.

"Here we are!" The mayor confirmed.

Jessie and Co. all express shock at seeing the building all covered in red paint. The gang all head in towards the restaurant and inside, everything is red too: red tables, red chairs, red decorations, red floor, and a red ceiling.

"These guys must like the color red a lot," Jessie whispered to her friends.

"Tell me about it," Domino whispered back to her.

The head chef of the restaurant, with a red chef outfit and hat, walks towards them. "Hello, mayor! What can I do for you?"

"Please give these kids a table and I will pay for anything that they ordered." The mayor offered.

Jessie and her friends all gasped in delight. "Thank you so much!" "Thank you so much!" "Thank you so much!"

The mayor backs up for a little bit, rubs his head in embarrassment, and chuckles. "Okay, okay."

It cuts to the gang sitting at the table and stuffing their faces with food into their mouths at a fast-paced. However, a white beam shoots out of Jessie's purse and Electabuzz was there on the floor, letting itself out.

"ELECTABUZZ!" Jessie shouted.

Electabuzz looks around the restaurant and sees nothing but red everywhere. The Pokémon starts breathing heavily slowly getting angrier and angrier.

James gulps in fear. "This can't be good…"

"Electabuzz, return!" Jessie pulls out Electabuzz's Pokémon from her purse and is about to return Electabuzz.

However, Electabuzz swats its own Poké Ball away with extremely fast speed. "ELEBUBUBU!" The Pokémon cried out in anger. Electabuzz starts destroying the red restaurant.

The gang all gasp as Jessie rushes to find Electabuzz's Poké Ball.

"JESSIE, FIND ELECTABUZZ'S POKÉ BALL!" Domino screamed out in demand.

"I'M TRYING!" Jessie screams out, continuing to look around the restaurant for Electabuzz's Poké Ball.

"WELL TRY HARDER!" Meowth screamed back.

As Jessie continues trying to look for Electabuzz's Poké Ball, Electabuzz continues destroying more of the restaurant in a fit of rage.

The Head Chef of the restaurant enters from the kitchen. "What is that noise-" The chef's jaw dropped. "MY RESTAURANT!"

Jessie finally finds Electabuzz's Poké Ball under one of the tables and immediately faces up. "ELECTABUZZ RETURN, NOW!" She recalls Electabuzz back in its Poké Ball.

The gang all sighed in relief.

"Thank goodness that's over!" Domino says in relief.

The chef clears his throat loudly to get the gang's attention as they turn to face the chef who was tapping their foot in anger. Jessie and her friends all gulped in fear.

"S-sorry?" James apologized.

It cuts to the gang now out of Red Town and walking through the trail, looking upset as ever.

Domino growls. "I can't believe we just got banned from that place."

"Thanks to Jessie's Electabuzz!" Meowth pointed out.

Domino, James, and Meowth all stop to look at Jessie.

"What?" Jessie questions, confused.

"I'll tell you what! You need to train your Electabuzz to not hate the color red!" James commanded.

"Guys, I don't know if there is a way to cure it." Jessie frowns. "I want to, but I don't know what to do!"

"We will think of something. Right now, just send Electabuzz out." Domino says.

Jessie takes Electabuzz's Poké Ball out. "Electabuzz, go!" She sends out Electabuzz.

"ELEBUBUBU!" Electabuzz cried out.

James looks at Meowth. "Meowth, go ask Electabuzz why they hate the color red."

Meowth hops down off Jessie's shoulder to confront Electabuzz. "Hey, buddy! I have a question for you, so why do you hate the color red?"

Electabuzz begins to explain why. "Elebububu, Elebububu."

("It's just been part of my ancestry to hate the color red, I guess.")

"What did Electabuzz say, Meowth?" Domino asked.

"Electabuzz said the reason why is because of their ancestors." Meowth translated.

"I guess that makes sense." Jessie kneels to Electabuzz's height with a smile. "We're gonna help you finally overcome your hatred of the color!"

Electabuzz nods in response to its trainer. "Elebububu!"

Jessie pulls out Electabuzz's Poké Ball. "Look at your Poké Ball, Electabuzz. It's basically your home after all and the top of it is red!"

Electabuzz sees his own Poké Ball and starts getting angry from seeing the red part.

"Did you know that the inside of Jessie is also red, your trainer?" Domino pointed out.

"Yep! It's called blood and it's red!" Jessie confirmed.

Electabuzz just swats their own Poké Ball away and looks away as well.

"Come on, Electabuzz!" Jessie picks up Electabuzz's Poké Ball off the ground. "We're trying to help you stop hating the color red!"

"Elebububu…" ("Maybe I don't want to…")

Meowth raises an eyebrow at the electric tiger. "You don't want to?"

"Why not?!" James asked, extremely confused.

"Elebububu, Elebububu." ("I said earlier, my origin had a history with it and I don't want to be the odd one out.")

Meowth expressed a little shock. "Wow… that's kinda deep."

"What did Electabuzz say?" Domino asked.

"Electabuzz said the reason is because of the origin of hating the color red and doesn't want to be the odd one out." Meowth translated.

"Electabuzz… who cares if you're a little different from the rest of the Electabuzz?" Jessie questioned.

"Electabuzz?" The Pokémon looks up at its trainer.

"Yeah, just look at Meowth. He's not like other Meowth because he can talk!" James says. "So can my Gastly as well!"

"Every Pokémon is different in their way, Electabuzz!" Domino says with a smile.

Electabuzz looks down at the ground with a sad expression on its face and starts to think about it for a little bit.

"I think we should let Electabuzz think about this for a while." James quietly whispers to his friends.

Jessie, Domino, and Meowth all nod in agreement. It cuts to Team Rocket spying on the gang from a distance.

"What's the plan 'Ms. Genius.'" Butch says directly to Cassidy.

"This!" Cassidy heads to their hot air balloon parked on the ground near them. She pulls out two buckets filled with red paint. Cassidy starts explaining the plan. "These buckets are filled with red paint. We simply dump them on the twerps and then their Electabuzz go crazy and knock the twerps and Meowth out. Once they are, we simply take that talking Meowth with no hesitation!"

Mondo looks impressed. "I have to say, that's a good plan, Cass."

"Okay, how are we going to get the red paint on the twerps anyway?" Butch asked.

"Just follow my lead!" Cassidy says with a grin.

It cuts to the gang sitting down on the ground and waiting for Electabuzz to make their decision. Three strangers to the gang walk up to them as if it was Team Rocket in disguise as travelers.

"Hello, fellow travelers!" Cassidy greeted them.

"Oh hello, also fellow travelers!" Jessie said, oblivious to the disguises.

"How are you all doing on this lovely day? A perfect day for traveling, wouldn't you say?" Butch asked.

Mondo was about to reveal who he was and ruin the disguise. "I'm Mon-"

Cassidy and Butch immediately shove Mondo out of the way as the gang raises an eyebrow.

"Oops, we tripped," Cassidy said, chuckling and rubbing her head.

"Okay then?" James says, a little weirded out.

However, Domino starts thinking. "Hmm… you two look familiar." She walks towards the two 'strange people.'

"Wh-what do you mean, darling?" Cassidy backs up, chuckling awkwardly.

"W-we don't know what you mean." Butch also backs up and chuckles as well.

Butch secretly looks at Cassidy and she nods as they both grin.

"Why are you both grinning?" Domino asked.

"Oh, no reason!" Cassidy responded. "Except this!"

Cassidy and Butch quickly dump a bucket full of red paint onto the gang. The gang, including Meowth, all scream in pain and hold their eyes.

"I can't see!" James screamed out.

Cassidy turns to Butch. "Quick Butch, let's get out of here!"

Butch nods in response. "Right!"

Cassidy and Butch immediately sprint out of the scene.

"Guys, wait for me!" Mondo immediately follows his partners-in-crime.

Jessie is still holding her eyes in pain. "'Butch?!' That means it was Team Rocket all this time!"

"I knew something was odd about them!" Domino added.

The gang was able to wipe the paint off of their eyes as they all looked at each other and gasped.

"WE'RE COVERED IN RED PAINT?!"

Jessie's eyes widened. "Uh oh…"

Electabuzz arrives back to the gang after thinking about the training. She saw Jessie, James, Meowth, and Domino covered in red paint as the Pokémon stood there in silence.

James backed away in fear. "Nice, Electabuzz…"

"ELEBUBUBU!" Electabuzz electrocutes James extremely hard.

James screams loud from getting electrocuted and falls, extremely in pain. "Owie!"

"RUN!" Meowth screamed out.

The trio starts running away from Electabuzz, but the electric tiger immediately starts chasing the three.

"ELEBUBUBU! ELEBUBUBU!" Electabuzz uses Thunderbolt and strikes Domino while she is running away.

Domino screams in pain from getting electrocuted hard as James did and she falls, also extremely in pain. "I can't move at all!"

Jessie and Meowth continue running away with Electabuzz chasing them.

"Meowth, Fury Swipes, quick!" Jessie commanded Meowth while running away.

Meowth's claws grew in size and got sharper. He turns around and tries to scratch Electabuzz multiple times, but Electabuzz punches with electricity hard and immediately knocks out Meowth.

"M-Meowzie is that you?" Meowth says while knocked out on the ground.

It cuts to Team Rocket watching their plan unfold from a tree from afar and laughing.

"Our plan is almost complete! Once Electabuzz knocks out that twerpette, that's when we swoop in and steal Meowth!" Cassidy says.

"I have to admit Cassidy, this is one of the smartest plans you came up with!" Butch complimented.

Mondo nods in agreement. "Yeah!"

It cuts back to Jessie, the only one left standing, still running from her own Pokémon who is chasing her.

"I-I got to talk to Electabuzz." Jessie stops running away and turns around towards her electric Pokémon.

Electabuzz also stops running and starts slowly approaching its trainer, extremely in anger from her covered in red paint. "Elebububu…"

Jessie starts backing up a little. "Come on Electabuzz, it's me, Jessie, remember?"

"ELEBUBUBU!" Electabuzz sends out a bolt of electricity toward its trainer.

"AH!" Jessie shrieked and she immediately ducks to dodge the bolt of electricity. "Come on, please remember me, Electabuzz! It's your trainer, just covered in red paint!" She backs up but soon against a tree, cornering her from Electabuzz.

Electabuzz starts charging a powerful Thunderbolt and is about to electrocute its trainer with it.

"ELECTABUZZ, PLEASE DON'T IT'S ME!" Jessie screamed out for one last hope that Electabuzz wouldn't electrocute her.

"ELEBUBU!" Electabuzz screamed out back. The Pokémon was about to send a Thunderbolt right in Jessie's way. Its trainer closes its eyes, ready for impact, but nothing happens.

Jessie slowly opens her eyes. "Huh?" She looks at Electabuzz and the Pokémon is seen holding its electricity in.

"Elebubu!" The Pokémon cries out. Seeing the color red wants to make it electrocute it, but Electabuzz was able to recognize its trainer's voice from the scream and is holding back.

"Electabuzz, you have to release your electricity! Release it, that's an order!" Jessie commanded.

Electabuzz stares dead right at its trainer in anger. "ELEBUBU!" The Pokémon quickly turns around to face away from Jessie and releases its storage of electricity with a powerful Thunderbolt.

The Thunderbolt travels all the way and it manages to hit the tree that Team Rocket was spying in.

The Team Rocket trio screams out in major pain from the powerful Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt soon explodes, sending Team Rocket blasting off in the air. "LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" Ding!

Electabuzz, still facing away from Jessie, starts breathing heavily from releasing an extremely powerful Thunderbolt and is exhausted.

"E-Electabuzz?" Jessie questions her Pokémon as she starts slowly walking toward Electabuzz.

Electabuzz turns around to face its trainer, who's still covered in red paint. The Pokémon all suddenly smile. "elebububu!" Then it runs towards Jessie for a hug.

"Electabuzz!" Jessie immediately accepts and hugs her Pokémon back in delight. "You did it! You conquered your hatred for the color red!"

"Elebububu!" Electabuzz cries out in joy, hugging its trainer.

Time skips to James, Domino, and Meowth all feeling better after getting electrocuted and getting all the red paint off including Jessie as well.

"Thank goodness I got enough Paralyzed Heal for all three of us, although now I'm out." James frowns.

"I'm sure you will get some in the next city, James," Domino says with a smile.

"Is Electric Tiger done hating red?" Meowth asked.

"Let's see." Jessie shows her own Pokémon's Poké Ball as a test, especially showing the red part.

"Electabuzz, how do you feel about your own Poké Ball?"

Electabuzz looks at the Poké Ball and doesn't react to it one bit. Not getting mad at all or anything like that. The gang all smiled in delight.

"Electabuzz is finally cured!" Domino says.

"I'm so happy! Now we can wear the color red without worrying." James chuckles a little.

"There goes my entertainment," Meowth grumbles.

"Electabuzz… I'm so proud of you!" Jessie hugs Electabuzz, showing how much she's proud of them.

"Elebububu!" Electabuzz happily hugs their trainer back.

"Looks like Electabuzz has finally gotten over its hatred for the color red! What more exciting adventures will happen in the future for our heroes? Find out as the journey continues!"
