New Scene(Previously_On_Trigamon) {

Ash and company are at the edge of a cave on Route 114, desperately trying to figure out what to do about the large black airship moving towards them

Yami Benjy: Unlike the last ones, these appear to be directed at us…

May: And the vacuum is going really…

May trails off, completely dumbstruck.  QST.camera shifts between Ash and company, Vito, Screemadinn, and some of the pokémon, spending less than a second on each, before shifting to the airship as the vacuum sucks in the missiles, which explode harmlessly in the ship’s shredder.

Max: Did it just…?

Coal: Guys!  I think I figured out who we’re dealing with!

Ash, May, Max, and Yami Benjy look upwards towards Coal, while more missiles still head their way.  The sky suddenly looks brighter, as Glalie shoots down another missile.

}


New Scene(Refresh Last())

Ash: Who is it?

Coal: Someone you probably don’t know.  A B-class villain.

The Rokkadin reassemble themselves under the frantic waving of Screemadinn.

May: Then what are Team Rocket?!

Coal: Just get in the cave, quickly!

Yami Benjy: What’s going on?!  Why?!

Coal: Because…

Coal doesn’t finish his sentence, leaving Ash, May, Max, and Yami Benjy in a state of confusion.  Yami Benjy stays at the mouth of the cave while May, Max, and Ash run inside, where a Spinda approaches Ash holding Emma by the hand.

Ash: Emma…

Emma is now visibly shaking.

Coal’s voice: Just wait for it.


New Scene()

On Ogel’s ship, Team Rocket is taunting Ogel for his inability to strike them with his missiles, as the missiles aimed at Team Rocket start to cease.

Meowth: Hah!  Looks like you’re all out!

Jessie: Now it’s our turn!  Prepare for trouble!

James: And make it double!

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!

James: To unite all people within our nation!

Jessie: To denounce–

Meowth: Hold up!

James: Don’t interrupt the motto, Meowth.

Jessie: Now we have to start over!

Meowth: But first look over there!

Jessie and James turn to where Meowth is pointing, across the ship’s deck to where skeleton drones are climbing out of the ship onto the deck, all wielding spears.  James starts to say something, but before he can, one of the skeleton drones hurls a spear at him, which he barely dodges.

Another hatch now opens, and drones also start pouring out of this hatch, single file.  One throws it’s spear at Jessie, who also dodges, but the spear leaves a big hole in her hair.

James: That was close!

Jessie though is turning bright red.

Jessie: Don’t.  Touch.  THE HAIR!!!

#Winx_Club_Reference

Immediately, all of the drones begin chucking spears at Jessie, who somehow manages to grab all of them, astounding her two comrades.  Jessie then tosses one bundle of spears off the deck of the airship.

Jessie: This is war! (angry)
James: Cacnea!  Pin missile!

As Jessie deals with the skeletons and their spears, James’s Cacnea hugs him, causing James to yelp.

James: Not me!  Attack the skeletons!

Cacnea turns to face the skeletons and suddenly becomes visibly scared as the skeletons appear.  Puffing itself up, it blasts pin missiles at two trapdoors full of skeletons (one with each hand).


Revert Scene()

Kneeling in the cave, Brock looks at the airship through binoculars.

Brock: Is there someone fighting on that thing?

Ash’s Voice: No way!

QST.camera zooms past Ash to reveal that Ogel’s ship has just released a giant missile, about twelve feet in diameter and nearly eighteen feet long, heading straight for the cave.  On the ridge above the cave, the Skarmory eye this giant missile curiously.

Screemadinn: Scree!

The Rokkadin suddenly all raise their guitar clubs in unison.

Rokkadin (multiple): Rokka rokka rokkadin!

Yami Benjy: Coal, do you have a plan?

Coal: Get as far underground as you can!  Even where it is, that’s going to take out a square kilometer!

Coal shivers.

Coal: And that’s my plan!

May’s voice from below the ledge: Coal’s voice sounds shaky.

Coal: Are you even listening?!

Coal stares in confusion as Pixielite lifts off into the sky, despite the missile and the vacuum.

Yami Benjy: We’re turning it around.  (LOUD)

Coal: Are you–  (LOUD)

Yami Benjy: It’s Screemadinn’s idea!  (LOUD)

Coal: Figures a Screemadinn would come up with something like that.

Coal: And HOW?!

Yami Benjy: Aim at the top!

This giant missile is very slow moving at only a couple miles per hour.

Coal: As dumb as it is, I actually like this idea…

Ogel’s ship has now vacuumed up the entire section of the forest, leaving a giant patch of dirt where it once was.


New Scene()

May and Max help Vito through some un-vacuumed forest, following a Sandslash, which is hopping like a kangaroo.

Sandslash: Sand…

Sandslash points to a tiny clearing in the distance.

Max: Wow, you know this forest really well.

Sandslash: Sand.

Vito: And Alakazam can… …from there?

Sandslash: Sand.

Sandslash starts hopping towards the clearing, with May, Max, and Vito behind it.  Vito’s legs cause him to stumble at times.


Revert Scene()

Coal calls on his Swampert and Feraligatr, which appear in a flash of red light.

Coal: When Screemadinn gives the signal, attack the underside of the nose-cone.

Swampert, Feraligatr, Blastoise, and Glalie give their agreement verbally, and Coal signals to a wild Skarmory, which comes flying over to him, and allows him to leap aboard as it takes off towards the missile.  Screemadinn calls out something below him, and Coal’s arms start to glow, which appear to negate the vacuum’s effect on the Skarmory that he’s riding.


New Scene()

Ash and Brock stand by the mouth of the cave.

Brock: I don’t understand how Pikachu’s thunder is supposed to–

Ash: Coal’s strategies got us this far didn’t they?  Why are you suddenly doubting him now?

Ash and Brock stare as Coal and Skarmory get into position.

Brock: I’ve always doubted him.  Joining a stampede?  People get trampled and die in those.

Ash: Well, it was that or get sucked into that giant machine.

Brock opens his backpack and begins to look around in it.

Yami Benjy’s voice: Fifteen seconds!

Brock: I was planning the old jam jar on it.

Ash: Now I’m confused…

Brock: They call it jamming the gears for a reason.

Brock now pulls the jar of Jam out of his backpack.

Ash: It’s empty…

Brock stares at the jar in disbelief.

Yami Benjy’s voice: FIVE!

Ash: Pikachu!

Pikachu stands at attention, sparking with electricity.

Yami Benjy’s voice: FOUR!

Brock calls on Mudkip and Lotad, getting them ready to fire water guns at the missile.

Yami Benjy’s voice: THREE–READY?!


New Scene()

Vito is kneeling next to Alakazam, the backs of his legs now bandaged.

Yami Benjy’s voice: TWO! (faint)

May: I’m worried about the synchronization.

Vito: The attacks don’t actually have to hit at the exact same time, so long as they all hit togeth–

Yami Benjy’s voice: ONE! (faint)

Vito: So long as they all hit together.  Alakazam!

May: Beautifly!

Yami Benjy’s voice: FIRE! (faint)

All at once, all creatures with long-distance attacks use them, targeting the underside of the nose cone of the giant missile.  Alakazam and Beautifly attack with psychic and silver wind, respectively, and both of these hit, but Coal’s Pokémon appear to be having a bit of difficulty aiming, though they strike the missile’s underside after a few seconds as Coal, Pichu, and Skarmory suddenly fly up close underneath it.

QST.camera switches to Ash and Brock, as Lotad and Mudkip both shoot water at the missile.  Pikachu is charging energy, as Corphish and Treecko bombard the underside of the nose cone with bubblebeam and bullet seed respectively.

Ash: It’s not doing much…  Pikachu!

Brock: Look up!

Ash looks up and QST.camera synchronizes with his vision as he realizes that Coal and Skarmory are right near the missile’s underside.

Ash: Wait, Pikachu!  W–

It’s just a bit too late for Pikachu to withhold it’s attack; Pikachu shoots a powerful electric charge straight towards where the other attacks are hitting, barely avoiding Coal and Skarmory.  QST.camera now zooms in on Coal, de-synchronizing with Ash’s vision in the process.  Coal suddenly grabs Ogel’s missile, arms crackling with electricity.

QST.camera now synchronizes with Coal’s vision: he yanks a face-plate off the side of the missile, letting it fall to the ground, and then pushes a clamp to disconnect a red wire.

Coal: Let’s see.

Skarmory: Skah!

Coal: One moment–

Coal slides a lever all the way to the other end of it’s track, then grabs a handful of colored wires and yanks them out.

Coal: Now!

Coal falls forwards onto Skarmory’s back.  Ogel’s missile now has appeared to stop moving altogether, and hang in the sky.

Coal: Pichu!

Pichu pops out of the collar of Coal’s shirt, as Coal steers Skarmory to make a u-turn.

Coal: Thunder as we pass by, ok?


New Scene()

Ash and Brock watch as Coal comes back towards them on Skarmory, the missile just hanging in the air, no longer moving.

Ash: How is that even possible?  It’s just hanging there…

Brock says nothing, completely confused by the lack of gravity affecting the missile.  Suddenly, Coal’s Pichu zaps the missile with electricity, and the missile suddenly starts to fall for a brief second, as well as being pushed around 160º (around a purely horizontal axis) so that the rounded nose cone is now facing Ogel’s ship.


New Scene()

Yami Benjy walks over to where May, Max, and Vito are.

May: Benjy!

Max: Why is it just sitting there?!

Yami Benjy: I don’t know.

May: And why isn’t the ship moving?

Yami Benjy: I don’t know, but I’ll bet the person in there is waiting for the missile to hit.

Vito: Does this whole thing strike you as odd at all?

Yami Benjy: Very.  I don’t know why that thing is unaffected by gravity.  I don’t know why we were only able to turn it when Coal zapped it.  And I don’t know–

Vito: Look!

QST.camera zooms in on Coal and Skarmory as they approach the back of the missile and the ranged attacks all cease, leaving the missile hanging in the air.  Suddenly, Coal’s arm crackles with electricity, and blue circles of what look like magical symbols begin to flow around it in.

Coal: Take…  THIS!

With a powerful punch, Coal strikes the missile with his magically-electrified fist, but the missile doesn’t budge.

Vito.cornerscreen(BL): I don’t get it–

Yami Benjy.cornerscreen(BR): It’s completely ignoring the laws of–

Suddenly, the missile and Coal are both engulfed in a whitish-blue flash of light, nearly blinding Yami Benjy and Vito (and presumably others).  

Vito.cornerscreen(BL): It’s going!

May.cornerscreen(BR): And it’s faster!


New Scene()

Ogel’s giant missile shoots towards his ship as Coal and Skarmory rush back to the cave for cover.

Coal: Everyone inside!  It’s going to hit in 4!  3!

Ash and Brock quickly recall their pokémon (excluding Ash’s Pikachu) and the Rokkadin suddenly rush them into the cave, where everyone inside is moving quickly deeper.

Coal: 2!


New Scene()

Pokémon and other creatures burst out of holes in the ground in the far distance beyond May, Max, Yami Benjy, and Vito, hurrying as far away from the airship as possible.  QST.camera shifts back to Ogel’s airship to show that Ogel’s missile is now firmly lodged in his ship’s vacuum.

Yami Benjy: Now here comes the fun part.


New Scene()

Ogel stands at the monitor in his ship, watching Team Rocket fight his skeleton drones.

Sircom: Sir, the vacuum is clogged.

Ogel: Then unclog it.

Sircom: I don’t know how to do that, sir.

Ogel: You increase the suction.

Sircom: Sir yes sir!

Ogel goes back to watching his skeleton drones fight Team Rocket on his monitor.  Team Rocket now has all of their pokémon out, and are knocking drones apart, but the skeleton drones keep swarming.

Sircom: Sir, the vacuum is still clogged.

Ogel: Increase the suction.

Sircom: Sir, the vacuum is still clogged.

Ogel: Increase the suction.

Sircom: Sir, the vacuum is still clogged.

Ogel: Increase the suction.

Sircom: Sir, the vacuum is still clogged.

Ogel: INCREASE THE ZARKING SUCTION!!!

Sircom: Sir, the vacuum is still clogged.

Ogel: (bleep)ing piece of trash.

Ogel gets up from his desk and walks over to the wall with a large lever on it.

Ogel: Increase the suction more you (bleep)ing moron.

The lever on the wall moves down one notch.

Ogel: What about now?

Sircom: Sir, the vacuum is still clogged.

Ogel: Then increase the suction more.

The handle on the wall doesn’t move.

Sircom: Sir, the vacuum is still clogged.

Ogel: Keep increasing it until the clog is resolved!

QST.camera now synchronizes with what Ogel’s vision would be if he wasn’t wearing the heavy visor, keeping close track of the pressure gages which quickly move from the green into the yellow, and then slowly begin to creep up through the orange and into the red, passing the "danger" mark.

Sircom: Sir, increasing the pressure beyond this point will void your warranty, are you sure you want to continue?

Ogel: Continue!

Sircom: Warranty has been voided sir.

Ogel’s ship makes an odd clunking noise and QST.camera desynchronizes with Ogel’s vision.

Narrator: Ogel, would you mind contributing to our list of famous last words?

Ogel: I don’t need no stinking warranty.

As Ogel speaks, his ship rumbles, and the pressure gauge passes from "very unsafe" to "extremely unsafe".


New Scene()

On Ogel’s deck, Team Rocket feels the ship shake, which knocks many of the skeleton drones off of their feet, and off of the edge of the ship.

Meowth: What’s going on?

James: I don’t know, but I don’t like the sound of it.

QST.camera now shifts down through the ship to where the missile in nearly engulfed in the vacuum.  QST.camera starts zooming out, when suddenly the missile disappears completely, going back into Ogel’s ship.  This is followed by a bunch of clunking noises.


New Scene()

Coal walks through the cave with Ash, Brock, and Emma, following the Rokkadin whom are moving deeper in a surprisingly orderly fashion.  Ash is holding Emma’s hand.

Brock: How far do we have to go?

Coal: I don’t know.  Until we come out the other side?  Hopefully then we should be far enough away.


New Scene()

Benjy, May, Max, Vito, Alakazam, and Sandslash are now retreating from the edge of the airship, now that the missile has been fully eaten by the vacuum.

Max: What’s this feeling?

May: I’ve never felt anything like this before…

Vito: Me neither.

Narrator: When sentient life forms are in certain kinds of mortal danger, an unusual energy field is triggered, which other sentient life forms can pick up on.  This is known as a doom field.  The doom field is usually extremely weak, but when the point of birth is over a few tens of thousands of lightyears, it becomes very noticeable.

Yami Benjy turns back to look at Ogel’s ship, and before anyone else can react, Ogel’s ship explodes.  (This explosion is extremely sudden, and extremely complete, engulfing the entire airship in a giant fireball in less than a quarter second)  May, Max, Yami Benjy, and Vito feel the heat almost instantly, and May starts to scream but finds she can only look back in horror as flaming debris hurls towards the group.

<QST::SlowMotion(@May’s perception)>

May watches the flames hurl towards her and Max.

May: This is it…  …my end…

</QST::SlowMotion(@May’s perception)>

With a loud crash, a barrier of golden light appears to erupt from the ground, blocking the superheated debris.  May, Max, and Vito suddenly find themselves able to breathe, and turn to see Yami Benjy facing the explosion, glowing head-to-toe with the same kind of golden light.

Yami Benjy: Millennium…

Max: Incoming!

Yami Benjy: BARRICADE!

The small barrier of golden light suddenly turns into a giant mountain of golden light, which holds when even a a large chunk of the front of Ogel’s ship goes smashing into it, causing the nearby forest to burst into flames, burning to the ground in mere seconds, while Yami Benjy’s barrier continues to hold against the superheated air.


Revert Scene()

Ash: Is it just me, or is it getting hot in here?

Brock: Ash, It’s not the time for that.

Emma: I’m hot, too.

Coal suddenly turns around, as does QST.camera.  Superheated air is shooting at them, ripping apart the top of the cave.

Coal: Oh (bleeeeeeeeep)!

With the shock wave only ten feet away, Ash and Brock turn around to rocks shooting their way, followed by giant boulders.  The first wave of rocks miraculously missed everyone, and less than a second later the boulders come crashing into a translucent pink barrier that wasn’t there a split-second before.

Celebi: BIIIIIIIIIIII!!! 

Celebi calls out as it’s barrier is forced backwards, picking up various creatures as it goes, as the force of the explosion completely destroys the roof of the cave.  This forces Ash, Brock, Coal, and Emma to the front of the barrier, with Celebi grasping Brock’s hair tightly.

Coal: Oh no…

For about twelve seconds (real time) after this starts, the barrier is forced backwards through the cave, at a rate of about fifty miles per hour, until it finally hits the end of the cave and is forced by the pressure into about one hundred feet into the air.  QST.camera now looks out of the barrier, first at Yami Benjy with his golden barricade below (and closer to the initial blast), and then swiveling upwards to watch Team Rocket sail away.


New Scene()

Team Rocket are sailing straight upwards into the sky.

James: I didn’t think he’d destroy his entire ship just to get rid of us!

Jessie: What makes you think it was a "he", you chauvinist!

Meowth: Both of you stop it!

Jessie: Don’t interrupt me, Meowth.

Meowth: But it doesn’t change the facts.

Meowth points at the ground getting further away below them.

{Jessie, James, Meowth}: We’re blasting off again!

QST.camera shifts angles, then zooms out as Team Rocket grow fainter until they are just a speck of light on the horizon.  This spec of light twinkles and then disappears.


Revert Scene()

Ash, Coal, Brock, Emma, and all the creatures within Celebi’s barrier suddenly start to fall, and Emma screams, while Ash, Brock, and Coal stare dumbstruck.

Brock: Coal, what do you say the odds are that we miss the ground again on this one?

Coal doesn’t have a chance to answer before the barrier comes crashing into the ground, and breaks open spewing the contents everywhere, as if they landed on a trampoline.  Ash lands hard on his back in the dirt, and in the corner of his vision can see Emma holding onto Brock’s leg, appearing to only have scrapes and bruises.

Celebi: Cele–BI!  BI!

Ash looks over (and QST.camera follows his vision) to where Coal is pulling himself to his feet.  Coal quickly survey’s the burning forest.

Coal: This is bad…

Coal suddenly sends out his Swampert, Blastoise and Feraligatr again, instructing them to put out the fire.


New Scene()

Benjy is lying on his back while May and Max examine him nervously.  Nearby, Vito has his Alakazam using rain dance to put out the flames.

Max: Benjy…

May: Benjy, what did you do?

The Millennium Gameboy Advance pulses slightly as Benjy tries to catch his breath, unable to respond to May.

Benjy: Was that…?  A nuclear warhead?

Benjy looks down at the Millennium Gameboy Advance, and May picks it up, while it still pulses with light.

Max: It was that thing, wasn’t it?

May nods slightly, and Benjy rolls onto his side, which allows May to remove the MGBA from Benjy’s neck, and examine it.

Vito: Can I–

May shakes her head nervously, and Benjy collapses onto his side.

Benjy: Ow…

Vito: What happened?

Benjy: I don’t know.


Cutscene(Vito’s memory of the MGBA activating to protect them) {}

Vito looks down at Benjy, and extends a hand to help him to his feet, which Benjy accepts.

Vito: You don’t know?

Benjy: It’s never affected my physical condition, at least as far as I’ve noticed.

May has now put the MGBA around her own neck, and Max watches her nervously.


New Scene()

Ogel lies in the dirt in the rain, bits of debris surrounding him.  His armor is still completely intact, and he does not seem physically hurt.

Ogel: (beep) you!  (bleep) you all to the Infernal Dimensions!

#Planet_of_the_Apes_Reference

(From this point on, Ogel will go on with his cursing for long enough to make the episode long enough)

As Ogel curses, Ash and company (+Vito) gather to face him in an arc, from about fifteen feet away.  Max hides behind May, and Emma stands back another fifteen feet or so.  Smoldering debris lies all around.

Ash: So Coal, do you know this guy?

Coal: Oh yeah.

Ogel: Coal…  It’s been a while…

May: And he knows you!

Coal: Our paths have crossed a fair bit.

Benjy: Ogel…  That name seems familiar somehow…

Ogel: Whaddya want this time?

Coal: What do you mean what do I want?

Ogel now starts to get to his feet.

Ogel: What do you mean what do I mean?

Coal: You nearly sucked me and the entire forest into that shredder of yours.  What do you think I want?  Staying whole would be nice.

Ogel is now standing straight up, still covered in armor.

Ogel: Hey, you kids, this isn’t what it looks like so scram!  You idiots too!  What’s the big idea?

QST.camera zooms out slightly to see that many creatures of the forest are also watching Ogel angrily, having him nearly surrounded.

Vito: You destroyed their homes!  What do you expect them to do?  Invite you over for milk and cookies?!

Ogel: There’s plenty forest still left, you numbskull!

Brock: I’d look again if I were you.  (Angry)

Ogel: Don’t go all hippie on me–

Ogel starts to take steps towards Brock.  Benjy, Brock, and Ash all grab poké balls nervously.  Brock takes a couple steps backwards, even as he cuts Ogel off.  Anger builds in Brock’s voice as he says this next line.

Brock: I haven’t seen this kind of…  I don’t think I’ve ever…

Ogel has now reached Brock, and pushes him aside abruptly, and sizes up Emma.

Ogel: I don’t have time for you. (To Brock)

Ogel: Where’s Celebi? (to Emma)

Ogel stares at Emma, who looks around wildly.

Brock: Don’t think you can just ignore us–

Ogel knocks Brock on his backside with one swipe of his arm.

Ash: Pikachu, thunderbolt!

Pikachu attacks Ogel with thunderbolt, but Ogel’s head-to-toe armor negates the blast, leaving Ash dumbstruck.

Ogel: Where’s Celebi? (to Emma)

May: Leave her alone!

Ogel: Where is it?! (angry)

Vito: Gone.

Ogel: Don’t lie!

Ogel now starts walking towards Vito, who calls on Alakazam.

Vito: Psychic now!

Alakazam concentrates on Ogel, but it’s psychic power doesn’t seem to be able to penetrate Ogel’s armor.  Ogel now grabs Vito by the shoulders and lifts him into the air, while Alakazam tries to free him for about one second (real time) before teleporting Vito and itself about 25 feet away.  Ogel now pulls out some kind of blaster, and starts to fire it at Vito and Alakazam.  Before he can however, Screemadinn crashes into Ogel, irate, knocking Ogel’s blaster, and causing him to miss Vito, shooting the blast off into the distance, where it blows up another sector of the forest.

Vito gasps, and Ogel suddenly puts the blaster to Screemadinn’s head and pulls the trigger, causing an explosion.  What happened to Screemadinn isn’t shown on QST.camera, which quickly switches between the expressions of Ash, May, Max, and Brock as they lie in the dirt where they landed after being knocked down from the blast of the explosion.  QST.camera then shows blood dripping on the ground.

May:

Ogel: Only when I’ve captured that Celebi, do you have my permission to cry.

May: How could you…?  (anguished)

Max: May…

Ogel: How could I?  Would you like me to show you again?  Let’s see, whom should I demonstrate this on?

Ogel looks around at Ash and company, Vito, and Emma.

Ogel: Oh, I kn–

May: STOP IT!

Ogel turns from Emma to May, walking over to her and stepping on her arm as she tries to sit up, before putting the trigger to her head.

Max: May!

Ogel now points his blaster at Max.

Ogel: So many of you to eliminate, so little time!

May: Leave him alone!  You’re like–

Ogel: Tell me, who am I like?

May seems speechless.  Ogel starts to re-target the blaster on her.

Coal: Acnologia.

Ogel immediately turns his attention from May to Coal, whom is now standing up, facing Ogel.

Ogel: Don’t say that name, boy!

Coal: It fits too well not too.

Max: Who’s Acnologia?!

Ogel quickly turns to Max, but doesn’t re-position his blaster.

Ogel: Don’t say it!

Coal: The black dragon of the apocalypse, Acno–

Ogel starts to turn his blaster towards Coal, but before he can, he is knocked backwards off of his feet by an invisible force, sent careening over the heads of the group as if falling sideways.  Ogel quickly repositions himself, and shoots the ground with his blaster, causing a massive plume of dirt and dust, which obscures him, and prevents him from falling further sideways.

QST.camera switches to Benjy, who is watching this, dumbfounded.  QST.camera darkens a bit as it synchronizes with Benjy’s vision.

Benjy: Ogel.  Coal said his name was Ogel.

Ogel’s name appear across QST.camera as yellow-orange block letters.

Benjy: Why does it ring a bell…

As Benjy stares, the letters capitalize themselves, and Benjy gulps.  "L" swaps with "G", "L" swaps with "O", "E" swaps with "O", and Benjy gasps.  "G" then swaps with "O", finally spelling "LEGO", which flashes and disappears from QST.camera.

Benjy: No way…

Benjy now starts to get to his feet.

Benjy: Was this guy a Lego set?

The dust now starts to clear, and Ogel becomes visible again through the dust.  As Benjy watches Ogel, he envisions the Lego version of Ogel next to him, quickly remarking the similarities.

Benjy: That’s impossible!


Cutscene() {

Benjy compares in his mind Ogel and his airship to the Ogel and his airship from the Lego™ set, noting the similarities.  Then the box containing the corresponding Lego™ set appears to fall onto QST.camera.

}

Coal walks into Benjy’s field a vision, staring Ogel down, as the tinting fades away.

Benjy: Was Coal a member of the Alpha Team?  Or…?


Cutscene(Flashback) {

As Ogel curses, Ash and company (+Vito) gather to face him in an arc, from about fifteen feet away.  Max hides behind May, and Emma stands back another fifteen feet or so.  Smoldering debris lies all around.

Ash: So Coal, do you know this guy?

Coal: Oh yeah.

Ogel: Coal…  It’s been a while…

}

Benjy: I can’t remember all of their names.  Was Coal one of them?


Refresh Scene()

Ogel and Coal face off across several yards of barren dirt.

Ogel: So what brings you to this part of the woods, Coal?

Coal: Just traveling.  But I’m the one whom should be asking the question.  What business does like you have with a forest pokémon like Celebi?

Coal pauses, staring puzzled at Ogel.

Coal: It makes no sense.

Ogel: Why don’t you think then, boy?

Coal: I’m not one to come running to you for answers I can find out myself.

Ogel: Really?

Coal: So spill it before I beat the living daylights out of you.

Coal appears to be slightly nervous, albeit resolute.  Ogel meanwhile bursts into maniacal laughter:

Ogel: Muwahahahahaha!

Coal’s body suddenly sparks with electricity, and Ogel stops laughing.

Ogel: The same thing anyone with this much armor wants with a time machine!  I have clocks to turn back!

Max: You mean you want to change the past?

Ogel: You’re quite adept at puzzles, little man.

Coal: So this was all just…  To flush out Celebi?

Brock: And why not just catch it like a normal trainer?!

Ogel: One does not just simply "catch" a Celebi.

Ogel looks at a watch built into his armor anxiously.

Ogel: And to bad for you, I’m serious this time.  Now scram before you meet the same fate as Screemadinn over here.  It would be a shame after all the fun we’ve had together.

Coal continues to face Ogel.

Coal: Try it.

Ogel picks up his blaster, aiming it at Coal.

Ogel: I’ll see you.

Coal chuckles slightly.

Ogel: ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!


QST::SlowMotion() {

Ogel pulls the trigger, and the blaster fires a large blast of energy at Coal, who seems to be waiting for it.  Coal does some odd motion with his hands, causing sparks of purple and pink energy to appear, then waves the energy back at Ogel, reversing it’s direction right before it can touch him.

}


Ogel is suddenly hit with his own blast of energy, and knocked backwards off of his feet, much to the astonishment of those watching.  In this split-second, Coal suddenly surges forwards far faster than a human should be able to move, and grabs Ogel’s helmet, wrenching it off of Ogel’s head (which does not look anything like a Lego™).  As Ogel lands flat on his back Coal drop-kicks Ogel’s helmet into the distance before jumping away, out of Ogel’s reach.

Ogel: Why do you have to deviate from the script?!

Ash: Script?

Brock: Does he think it’s a movie or something…?

Ogel: Guard’s down!

Ogel fires his blaster at Coal who dodges the blast, despite the distance between them being only about a yard.  Ogel fires again and Coal dodges, and this time Coal kicks Ogel back up onto his feet (Ogel lands about 10 feet from Coal).  This knocks the blaster out of Ogel’s hands, causing it to fall and break.

Ogel: Little did I suspect that you would one day abandon the dark side.

Coal: Well, you lied about your cookies.

May: What’s he talking about?

Ogel: What did you expect?!

Coal: Even your cake was a lie!

#Portal_Reference

Ogel cackles suddenly cupping his hand to his ear.

Ogel: Oh what’s that?  I can’t hear you over the roar of my new mech!

Vito: New mech?

A large spider-shaped robot can now be seen in the distance, and begins to fire missiles.  Ogel starts to run to it.

Ash: Pikachu, thunderbolt!

Ogel doesn’t even turn back as Pikachu shoots electricity at him, striking him in the back, and exploding two nearby missiles, which do nothing to Ogel, despite his unprotected head.

Max: What kind of armor is that?!

Coal: Plot armor.  It’s how he survived that blast earlier.

Vito: So what are we supposed to do now?!

Benjy: Last time it exploded when it sucked up it’s own missile.  Could we get it to do that again?

Benjy: And this one doesn’t look like any Lego set I’ve ever seen.

Ash: I don’t see a vacuum on this one.

Coal turns to the Rokkadin staring at the new mech, somewhat panicked.  Coal then gestures at Ogel’s mech.

Coal: You guys ready to take it down?

The Rokkadin examine Coal nervously.

Brock: And how are we going to do that…?  Have it vacuum up another missile?

QST.camera turns to May and Max.  May is holding Emma, who is passed out from fright.

Coal: We could…

May: I don’t see a vacuum though…

Coal: That’s his capture ship.  Or one of them at least.  Brock, take care of Emma.  While we–

Coal gestures to himself and the Rokkadin.

Coal: –keep him occupied, the rest of you are going to make a Celebi.

Ash: Make? (confused)


New Scene()

Ash, May, Max, Benjy, and Vito rush through the non-destroyed forest.

Ash: It just needs to look like a Celebi from a distance, right?

Vito nods.

May: You’ve got the D5?

Benjy: M-hm.

Narrator: D5 is just like C4.  Except more so.

Max: We all know what we’re looking for?

Everyone nods.

Vito: Lets go!

Everyone now splits up.


New Scene[5] = Scene Succession() x5 {

New Scene()

Benjy searches in the soot for something while Yami Benjy projects himself nearby.  After a couple seconds of searching, Benjy pulls something out of the soot.

Benjy: Got the forest fig!

Yami Benjy stares at the forest fig, amused.

New Scene()

Max sees a patch of grass and rushes over to pick some.

Max: Found the forest grass.

New Scene()

May, with Beautifly flying beside her, sees an odd rock lying on the ground, then gathers more rocks before whipping out a bottle of <glue_brand> glue and gluing them together.

May: You think this is a convincing body, Beautifly?

Beautifly: Beau!

New Scene()

Ash picks a couple of leaves off of a nearby tree, and blows the soot off.

Ash: These are perfect for the forest leaves.

New Scene()

Vito mixes some plants in a pestle and mortar, then adds water to make a green dye.

Vito: And Ogel will never know the difference!

}


New Scene()

Ash, May, Max, Benjy, and Vito quickly gather back together and assemble the fake Celebi.  Vito dyes the rocks green, then May glues the doll together, while Benjy warns her that the D5 is inside the forest fig that is being used as the head.  Ash’s leaves are the Celebi’s wings and Max’s grass are it’s antennae.  May then pulls out a permanent marker and draws a face on the Celebi doll, although it comes out looking a little deranged.

May: Perfect!

Vito: We’ve got to give him a little bit of a challenge, or else he’ll get suspicious.

Following Vito’s remark, a loud thud can be heard from Ogel’s mecha.

Max: It’s getting closer!

Celebi: Celebi!

Ash and company turn to see Celebi floating nearby, eyeing the doll curiously.

Ash: Wait…

Max: Real Celebi!  This is a fake!  Get away!

Celebi’s eyes turn to hearts and it ignores Max.

Benjy: We’ve been spotted!


New Scene()

Ogel smiles in his mech, then cackles like a maniac

Ogel: So, now you show yourself!


Revert Scene()

Ash: Celebi, what are you doing here, you should be running!

Celebi shakes it’s head, not paying attention, then buzzes around Max (whom is holding the fake Celebi) excitedly.


Revert Scene()

Ogel watches this from his mech.

Ogel: How touching!

Sircom: Sir, I have 999,999,999,999 results for "touching."  A trillion if we get rid of safe-search.

Ogel: Shut up!

Sircom: Sir, you see there are two Celebi.  We could, in theory, share them.

Ogel: Shut up!!!  Look, I don’t always catch pokémon, but when I do, I catch them ALL!

Sircom: But sharing is caring!

Ogel: And caring is for losers!  Fire torpedo-balls!

Ogels slams his fist on his dashboard.


Revert Scene()

Ogel’s spider mech fires a torpedo that explodes into roughly twenty poké balls.  QST.camera zooms towards Celebi as the balls rapidly approach.

Benjy: Run!

Celebi is hanging onto the Celebi doll on Max’s head as everyone runs deeper the forest.  Ash and May take turns trying to get the real Celebi away from the fake.

Max: You might need to have Pikachu zap it!

Ash: Yeah…

Benjy: Are you forgetting it’s a bomb!

Ash and Max flinch.

May: That’s right Celebi!  That’s not a Celebi!  It’s a bomb!

Despite May’s urgency, Celebi still isn’t listening, and the balls are gaining on everyone.  Suddenly, Max trips and both Celebi and the doll go flying and land on the ground.  The Celebi doll doesn’t break, and this impact is enough to separate them, but Ogel’s torpedo balls go for both.

Vito: Alakazam!

Alakazam emerges from it’s pokéball and crushes the pokéballs headed at the real Celebi, allowing the fake Celebi to be caught, and whisked away to Ogel’s ship.  The real Celebi is now enraged, and gives chase, much to the horror of the group.  As the ball containing the fake Celebi is pulled aboard, Celebi confront’s the mecha, attacking with it’s psychic power.


Revert Scene()

Ogel: So you want to save your little friend, eh?


Revert Scene()

Coal: Oh no you don’t!

Coal throws a football-shaped object at the torpedo balls, it zooms out of his hand straight for them.


Revert Scene()

Sircom: There’s a bludger on the line!

Ogel: Take it out!


Revert Scene()

The bludger breaks about four torpedo balls before a blast from Ogel’s mech renders it defunct.  Four more torpedo balls zoom at Celebi, unaffected by it’s psychic power.

Yami Benjy: Pixielite, get Celebi out of the way!

Before Celebi can be captured, Pixielite grabs it and zips out of the way.  Much to the horror of those watching, Celebi doesn’t seem to be grateful for this and starts to use psychic on Pixielite.  Surprised, Pixielite responds with mirror force, causing Celebi to fly off into the woods.

QST.camera zips back to Ash, May, Max, Benjy, and Vito as Coal rejoins them.

Coal: What’s going on?!

Ash: Celebi was fooled too!

May: And it wants to free the doll that Ogel–

Coal turns around abruptly.

Coal: Pichu!

Coal’s Pichu pops out of his shirt.  QST.camera shifts to where Pixielite destroys two of Ogel’s torpedo balls, though Celebi is caught by one, which starts to zoom back to Ogel’s mecha.

Coal’s Voice: Raigeki!

The ball with the real Celebi shoots towards Ogel’s mech, but before it can even clear the thicket where it caught Celebi, Pixielite grabs onto it with it’s tractor beam.


Revert Scene()

Ogel watches Pixielite struggle, with sheer delight.

Ogel: Oh you can try, little Trigamon…

Ogel reaches for a lever, but just as he touches it, Coal’s Pichu’s raigeki attack hits his mecha, shooting electricity through everything except Ogel.


New Scene()

Ogel’s mech explodes as Pixielite looses it’s grip on the ball.  With no mech to return to, the torpedo ball stops mid-air and falls.  Simultaneously, Ogel begins to crawl out of the debris towards it.

Ogel: I will not be had!

With a beeping sound, Pixielite snatches the ball from the ground and flies it back to Yami Benjy, placing it in his hand.  Ogel sees this, and becomes enraged, jumping to his feet.

Ogel: Why you little–

#Simpson’s_Reference

Ogel charges Yami Benjy, but as he runs, a whirring noise is heard.  Everyone looks around to see what this is, however Ogel quickly looses interest and continues to rush at Yami Benjy.  Suddenly, out of nowhere, a Lorax bursts out of the forest on a rocket star, slamming into Ogel and forcing him backwards.

Lorax: Lore.

Ogel: I’m going to–

Ogel is cut off as the Lorax pulls out the blaster that Ogel was using from earlier.  Mimicking Ash’s motions (when Ash is about to throw a pokéball) the Lorax charges the blaster.

Lorax: Low…  Rax!!

Ogel: Give me–

The Lorax discharges the blaster into Ogel, creating an explosion far larger than when Ogel used the blaster, kicking up too much dust to see anything except for Ogel sailing through the sky.

Ogel: Thaaaaaaaaaaat…

Following this, Ogel disappears in a twinkle of light, in the same manner as Team Rocket Blasting off.


New Scene()

Ash and company (+Vito) stand in a sooty meadow with Emma as Benjy transfers Celebi from Ogel’s torpedo ball to his ultra ball.

Brock: I can’t believe that we actually beat him…

Ash: I can’t believe his password was "password".

Max: I totally never would have guessed that.

Emma: Um…


May: Right, we’ll have Celebi take you home as soon as it’s healed up.

Brock: You know, I think a super potion can fix that.

QST.camera shifts upwards.

Max’s voice: Benjy, are you really going to keep Celebi?

Benjy’s voice: I think so.  I mean, how else am I supposed to catch them all?

Brock’s voice: You know, I think that’s just a saying…
