章 32: Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon (Re-edited)
Cora and her friends camped for a while to rest, losing Ash and his friends in the process. They've traveled through a desert which led them to Neon Town where people were downright hostile. The reason why was because businesses were opened all day and night which made people unable to get a decent night's sleep. Luckily, they were able to get a hotel room for the night.
The next day, they come across a Jigglypuff who couldn't use 'Sing'. Cora recognized that the Jigglypuff was the same one from the show who sometimes meets up with Ash and his friends and uses 'Sing' and makes them fall asleep. Seeing that the Pokémon was having trouble with her 'Sing' attack, so the gang decided to help the balloon Pokémon.
Cora brought out Shayla (Clefable) to help Jigglypuff learn 'Sing'. Shayla and Jigglypuff went to another part of the forest where the gang wouldn't hear them. Soon afterwards, Jigglypuff was able to learn 'Sing'.
Then Cora asked Jigglypuff for a favor which was to use 'Sing' and make everyone in Neon Town go to sleep. Jigglypuff used 'Sing' and the people of Neon Town went to sleep. Afterwards, Jigglypuff asked Cora if she could come with her, and Cora agreed. And so, Jigglypuff joined Cora's team and named her 'Chantel'.
========================
They have now arrived at Grampa Canyon. Somehow, they met up with Ash and his friends. Cora remembered this part of the episode. She was concerned about the Aerodactyl that will come into play. But she'll be annoyed when Gary shows up. But this is also when Togepi's egg will be found.
As the gang approached Grampa Canyon, they noticed a bunch of people everywhere carrying backpacks, pickaxes, etc. much to the gang's confusion, except Cora.
"What's going on down there?" Ash asked.
"I wonder what everybody's doing with those picks and shovels." Misty pondered.
"I think they're...searching for fossils." Cora said.
"Fossils? What for?" Misty wondered.
"Fossils carry a trace or piece of an organism from the past, like a skeleton, shell, or a leaf preserved in the earth." Alain explained.
"I see, they're searching for fossils of Pokémon that existed way in the past!" Brock concluded.
"Yep." Cora nodded.
"It sounds fun. We should look for some, too!" Mairin suggested.
"I'm in." Alain accepted.
"Might be fun." Brock smiled.
"We might get lucky and actually find something." Ash commented.
"Then we should definitely do it." Misty agreed, getting excited.
"Why hello, Ashy." A familiar arrogant voice said.
The gang turned and saw the annoying grandson of Prof. Oak, Gary Oak.
"Esp. Espeon (Of course. He has to be here.)" Kilala groaned.
"Gary, I'm not all that surprised that you're here." Cora said, calmly.
"Of course, a great trainer like me has heard of the great fossil rush." Gary bragged.
Kilala snorted.
"Gary, Gary he's our man! If he can't find them, no one can!" Six cheerleader girls cheered as they waved their pompoms in the air.
"You gotta be kidding me." Mairin said, disbelief.
"He has cheerleaders with him?" Alain whispered to Cora.
"Yup." Cora popped the 'P'. Then sighed, "He's going to be even more annoying now."
"I agree." Alain agreed.
"Thank you. Thank you to all my loyal fans!" Gary waved, "I got to go. I got to find all the fossils quick before anyone else does. Can't waste my precious time hanging around with a loser like you." He ran off.
Both groups glared heatedly at Prof. Oak's grandson.
"Anyways, just ignore him. Let's goes and find some fossils." Cora decided.
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered.
=========================
And so, the gang began looking and digging for fossils. Even though they were far from people, they're still able to hear what's going on.
"Success. My first Pokémon fossil." Gary said, proudly.
"Yay. Gary, Gary, he's the best. Found a fossil before the rest." The cheerleaders cheered.
Gary grinned at his cheerleader squad when suddenly the old man, who's a fossil expert of all regions, took it and examined the 'fossil' Gary had found.
"Impressive, isn't it? Found it on my first try." Gary bragged, "Looks like a brain from an extinct Pokémon."
"This is--" The fossil expert trailed off.
"A brain?" Gary asked, excitedly.
"It's fossilized Pokémon manure." The fossil expert replied.
"Huh?" Gary face faulted and fell on the ground in disgust.
"Ew, yuck. Gross." The cheerleaders were grossed out.
========================
The gang burst out laughing, but not too loud.
"I can't believe it. The great Gary Oak found fossilized Pokémon manure on his first dig." Alain chuckled.
Cora chuckled and stopped to take a breath, "Alright, that's enough...for now. Let's get back to digging."
She went back to digging, "Where could the fossil be?" She hit another place and out came two rocks that both looked like fin fossils.
"Hey guys I found two fossils." Cora announced.
"I found something." Alain picked up a fossil.
"Me too." Mairin picked up a fossil.
"They don't look like fossils I've ever seen before." Brock commented.
"Me neither." Misty said.
Just then the fossil expert came over smiling, "Congratulations young ladies, young man, you found some amazing fossils!"
"Really?" Cora, Alain and Mairin asked.
"You young lady found two Sail fossils!" The man pointed at Cora.
"Sail fossils? That means I can have two Amaura's!" Cora exclaimed.
The man turned to Mairin, "You young lady found a Root fossil."
"Root fossil?" Mairin asked.
"You'll have a Lileep, who's a rock/grass type Pokémon." Cora explained.
"Wow." Mairin awed.
The man turned to Alain, "You young man found a Jaw fossil."
"So I'll have a Tyrunt." Alain said.
"Well congratulations once more to you three." The fossil expert said.
"Thank you." Cora, Alain and Mairin thanked the fossil expert, and he left them alone.
"What's an Amaura, Lileep and Tyrunt?" Ash asked.
"Amaura is a fossil Pokémon that's native to the Kalos region and Tyrunt is also native in the Kalos region, Lileep is native to the Hoenn region, but I wonder how these fossils got all the way over here in Kanto?" Cora wondered.
"Guess we'll never find out, but that means you get to keep those fossils." Brock smiled as Alain put his fossil away and Mairin put away hers.
Cora smiled back putting her fossils in her backpack, "Let's keep looking around, we might be able to find more fossils around here."
"Right." They all nodded going back to digging for fossils.
Suddenly they heard voices nearby and not just any voices, it was Team Rocket!
"Hey, what you three doing here?!" Mairin yelled.
"Hmph, isn't it obvious twerps? We plan to blow up this canyon so we can find some fossil Pokémon." Jessie bragged.
"Uh, Jessie? I don't think we were supposed to tell them that." James said nervously.
"Oh...you're right." She said just now realizing what she just did.
"Like we'd let you do that!" Cora yelled and turned to her friends, "I'll handle them, you guys warn the other diggers!"
"Right!" Misty said and the others went to warn the other diggers.
"Kenji, come out!" Cora sent out her Frogadier.
"Frogadier! (Let's do this!)" Kenji said.
"Kenji, use Water Gun to try and diffuse that dynamite!" Cora told him.
"Frog! (Got it!)" Kenji used Water Gun on the dynamite trying to diffuse it, but it kept prompting the water type to try and follow it being closely followed by Cora and Kilala as well as Team Rocket who was trying to stop them. But the dynamite soon went off trapping all of them underground.
Alain, Mairin, Ash, Misty, and Brock heard the noise and ran towards it and saw the hole that was covered up by all of the rocks.
"Oh no!" Misty yelled.
"We have to get them out of there!" Brock said sending out his Geodude to help them dig their friends out.
Alain, Ash and Mairin sent out their Pokémon as well to help out.
Cora's backpack wiggled and all of her Pokémon came out wanting to help save their trainer. Hopefully they could get them out.
========================
Cora groaned, "Ow, my head." She opened her eyes and didn't see the clear blue sky. She looked around and noticed that she was in an underground cave. She felt something in her arms and looked down to see Kilala and Kenji in her arms. She sighed in relief at seeing them. Then she noticed that she didn't have her backpack on her. She guessed that it must up on the surface.
Groaning again as she sat up, alerting Kilala and Kenji.
"Hey, you two okay?" She asked.
"Espeon. (We're okay.)" Kilala said.
"Frogadier? (What about you?)" Kenji asked.
"I'm alright," Cora stood up, "We could try to find our way out of here, I'm getting a bad feeling."
They started walking to try and find their way out of here only to run into Team Rocket again.
"It's your fault that we are trapped in this cave!" Jessie accused.
"My fault?!" Cora shouted, "You're the morons who thought it'd be a good idea to use dynamite on a freaking cave to search for fossil Pokémon and now thanks to you we're all trapped here!"
"Espe espeon. (We got company.)" Kilala said when she noticed something.
They were about to argue some more, when they heard growls. They turned to see glowing red eyes in the dark cave area.
Jessie screamed in fright, "I don't think we're in here alone."
Kilala and Kenji stepped back and hid behind Cora's legs.
As the glowing red eyes stepped closer into the light, they were confronted by fossil Pokémon.
Cora recognized those Pokémon and took out her phone.
[Omanyte and Omastar, Kabuto and Kabutops. It is believed these Pokémon became extinct tens of thousands of years ago. The detail of their behavior is shrouded in mystery. Though some have speculated that they may still exist, none of these Pokémon have ever been seen alive.]
"Until now." Cora commented, "The explosion must've woken them up."
"Well it's good for us, we can capture them and take them to the boss! Go, Arbok!" Jessie calls out Arbok.
"Chabok (I'm here)!" Arbok announced.
"Use Tackle!"
Arbok rushed at Kabutops who's pincers glowed purple sending an attack right at Arbok cancelling out its tackle attack and sending the poison type Pokémon flying back towards Team Rocket.
"That was Night Slash!" Cora said.
"Frog Frogadier! (They're coming!)" Kenji announced.
"Kilala, use Shadow Ball!" Cora ordered.
Kilala wasted no time in using Shadow Ball on Kabutops making it crash into Kabuto.
"Use Thunder Shock!"
Kilala launched her electrical attack which hit Omanyte, Kabutops, and Kabuto. They fainted after the attack. Then she saw more fossil Pokémon coming their way.
"They just keep coming!" Cora said until she noticed that they suddenly froze then ran away, "Something tells me that that's not good."
"SCREECH!"
Cora didn't like the sound of that screech at all, she heard something big come their way and soon saw what it was making her go pale, "An Aerodactyl!"
She quickly scanned it.
[Aerodactyl, an extinct Flying Pokémon. Its hard fangs suggest that it was a carnivore. Its sharp claws were probably used to capture prey.]
Cora grabbed Kilala and Kenji and ran away from the ferocious looking Pokémon, even Team Rocket knew it wasn't worth trying to catch and wisely decided to run away along with the twerp only to be knocked aside like flies.
Cora had both Kilala and Kenji on each shoulder. Before she could look over her shoulder, two claws grabbed her around her waist, causing Kilala and Kenji to fall off her shoulders. Then the prehistoric Pokémon started to fly up to the collapsed area.
"Espe! (Cora!)" Kilala cried out in horror as she and Kenji grabbed onto the Pokémon's tail.
"Frogadier! (Let her go!)" Kenji shouted.
======================
Alain, Ash, Mairin, Misty, Brock and the Pokémon were still digging out the rubble only to stop when they heard a rumble and soon enough a giant flying Pokémon came out from underground with Kilala and Kenji holding onto its tail only to fall down as they were finally outside.
"What kind of Pokémon is that?!" Misty yelled.
"It's an Aerodactyl!" Brock exclaimed.
"Wait, there's something in its talons...its Cora!" Ash cried out in horror.
"Espeon! (Cora!)" Kilala cried out worried for her trainer.
"Chiko Chikorita! (Drop her now, you jerk!)" Kalmia yelled.
"Frog! Frogadier frog! (Fool! If it does Cora will die!)" Kenji told her.
Cora had never felt so scared as the Aerodactyl stared down at her with hunger in its eyes. She couldn't help but tremble in fright.
Nuri looked down right pissed off! What pissed her off the most was the fact that every time Cora tried to pry its talons off it grabbed on tighter causing Cora pain! Unable to stand it any longer, Nuri took to the skies kicking some dust as it did so, flying towards it quickly with anger in its eyes! It will pay for hurting Cora!
"Holy! That's some power!" Brock exclaimed.
"No kidding!" Ash agreed.
"Espeon espe espeon! (Get him, Nuri!)" Kilala cheered.
"Chiko! (Teach that jerk a lesson!)" Kalmia encouraged right along with Kilala.
Nuri didn't waste any time reaching the prehistoric Pokémon taking by surprise, but what surprised everyone was the fact that Nuri's wings were brought together before a spiraling light blue orb of energy formed in between them. She then threw the ball at Aerodactyl watching as it slammed into it hard. However, that caused Aerodactyl to lose its grip on Cora and fall. Luckily, Nuri was able to catch Cora into her arms.
"Thank goodness..." Misty sighed with relief.
Cora opened her eyes and looked up to see Nuri, her shiny Charizard, staring at her.
"Thank you, Nuri!" Cora hugged the fire type Pokémon.
"Growl. (You're welcome, Cora.)" Nuri said.
A screech interrupted the moment making Cora frown then smirked, "Let's show this fossil that you shouldn't mess with a Charizard."
"Roar! (Yeah!)" Nuri roared.
Cora re-positioned herself till she was on Nuri's back, "Let's do this, Nuri!"
"Growl! (HELL YEAH!)" Nuri roared as she flew higher, and not to their surprise followed after them.
"Use Dragon Rage!" Cora ordered.
Nuri turned and faced Aerodactyl this time as her eyes glowed white, then the flame on her tail grows to a huge size. She then forms a ball of fire in her mouth and releases a ball of orange energy from her mouth towards the prehistoric Pokémon making a direct hit causing it great pain.
Looking back at Aerodactyl, Cora saw it was beginning to get tired and decided to finish this, "Let's finish this, use Dragon Pulse!"
Nuri fired a multicolored dragon- shaped beam of energy from her mouth at Aerodactyl making another direct hit and watched it screeched in pain before it closed its eyes signaling it had finally been defeated. Before it fell to the ground though Cora threw a Pokéball at it, watching as it dinged immediately. Nuri caught the ball in her hands and descended to the ground.
Cora sighed before rubbing Nuri's neck, "That was amazing Nuri, I'm so proud of you."
"Growl. (I couldn't have done it without you, Cora.)" Nuri said honestly.
Cora simply smiled as they landed, getting off the fire-flying type's back and took the Pokéball from him, as soon as she touched it the Pokéball disappeared from her hand, going back to the ranch no doubt, she then noticed something on the ground. It was a Pokémon egg that was white with red and blue triangles on it, bending down wincing a little she picked up the item, "Why don't we take this with us?"
Nuru nodded in agreement.
"Cora!"
Turning her head, she saw it was her friends and waved, "Hey you guys, I'm alright!"
"Thank goodness for that!" Mairin said.
"You're sure that you're okay?" Brock asked again, just be sure.
"Mm-hm, my sides are a little sore but other than that I'm okay." Cora assured them as her Pokémon wasted no time in clinging to her sides.
"Hey Cora, what's that your holding?" Misty pointed at the round object in her hands.
"It's a Pokémon egg, I found it right here on the ground when we landed. It must've been underground too, but probably came up here thanks to Aerodactyl. I'm just glad this whole mess is over with." Cora sighed sounding tired before handing it over to Mairin, "Here, you take it."
"Me? Are you sure?" She took it from her carefully.
"Yeah, I've already taken care of Pokémon eggs before, so I think you should have this one." Cora said.
She knew that Mairin would adore Togepi once it hatches.
Mairin had stars in her eyes, "Awww Cora, thank you!" she hugged being mindful that she was still sore.
Alain walked up to her and pulled her into a gentle hug which made Cora's eyes widened in surprise. Then she noticed that he was trembling and whispered in her ear, "Thank goodness you're safe."
Cora's eyes softened at that, and she hugged him back. She too felt safe as Alain held her. Suddenly she felt tired and the strength in her body was draining. "I'm tired..." she then fell asleep, but Alain held onto her and re-positioned her bridal style in his arms.
"She must be exhausted." Misty said.
"Well, you would be too if you were dragged in the air by a prehistoric Pokémon, then became conscious enough to help your Pokémon take it down despite being in obvious pain. Her adrenaline rush must've finally worn out." Brock guessed.
"We should get her to the hospital." Ash suggested grabbing Cora's backpack.
They all nodded in agreement.
=========================
Cora woke up in the hospital and saw Nuri standing outside acting as her bodyguard. Officer Jenny had come to see her telling her that since she, Mairin and Alain found some fossils, they get to keep them, that included the Aerodactyl that Cora had caught. She requested that Cora should keep Grampa Canyon a secret which she swore she would, after that was done her friends came into the room along with the doctor who told her that everything checks out okay and that she'll just have some slight bruising on her sides for a little while, something Cora could live with.
Cora put her shirt on as she was checked out of the hospital, "Glad that's over."
"I'm just glad you only have some slight bruising instead of broken ribs." Alain smiled.
"Me too." Cora said walking outside with everyone else seeing Nuri standing right there waiting for her, with a smile she rubbed her friend's neck again, "Thanks for the rescue, Nuri, get some rest now, okay?"
Nuri nodded without complaint and Cora returned Nuri and smiled. Then the gang headed out once more.
====================
After nearly staring death in the face, Cora and her friends set out once more to continue their quest to head to Cinnabar Island where Cora will earn her next gym badge. As for Team Rocket...well, they'll be underground for a while, but we'll see them again.
