We rejoin our heroes as they enter the area where the power plant lies. It’s a sunny, hot day and our team begins searching the area for the Thunder Elemental Disc.

    “Oak send transmission.  Icy wait one moment.”
    “Cool.  What’s Oak got to say Loki?”
    “Oak say, thunder disc in form of round marble circle.  Have engraving of thunderbolt on it.  No more information.”
    “Ok.  Let’s start looking.”

    “Those twerps will lead us straight to the disc.”
    “Hmm, yes.”
    “Did you tell the boss about the gun yet?”
    “Yes.”
    “And.”
    “He’s ok.  I think.  He just said, next time, be more careful.  I guess we have an untouchable track record.”
    “It’ll be even more untouchable once we nab that Frosterpie or whatever it is.”
    “Right.”

    Lewis suddenly heard a buzzing sound!  He looked behind him and saw a Magnemite floating.  “A perfect chance!  Graveler go!” Lewis shouts.  The Magnemite freaked out and started to float away, but floated right into a wall, making it dizzy.  “Pokéball, go!” Lewis shouts.  The pokéball touched Magnemite, sucking it inside.  The little thing barely put up a fight.  Jigglypuff put up two fingers of joy.
    “Find anything yet?”
    “No, nothing,” Kelly complained.  Her eevees were digging holes everywhere.
    Icy motioned for Loki.  “Icy?”
    “Loki, ask the professor what we are doing wrong.  We can’t find the disc anywhere.”  Loki set up a comm link to Prof. Oak and gave him the message.  A few minutes later, he got a reply.
    “Oak say, disc only be found by electric pokémon.  Only they sense disc in location.  Disc have special properties.  Oak research now.”
    “Ok Loki.  Hmm, aren’t I considered an electric pokémon now?  I can’t sense it.”
    “I think your human side is preventing it,” Nicky explained.
    “Static, I choose you!”  Static appears.  Nicky sends you his Raichu and the two electric mice go hunting for the element disc.
    “Rai rai!”
    “Pika pika!”
    They found something.  But no one could see it.  “What?  What are you two so happy about?”
    “They say they found it.”
    “I don’t see anything.”
    In the eyes of Static and Raichu, the disc was magnificent.  It was pure marble, and it shined with the sunlight hitting it.  Static went to touch the disc.  Suddenly, everyone could see it.
    “It exists beyond the ethereal plane?”
    “Say what?” Lewis asked.
    “The disc, it’s hidden inside the void.  That’s why we can’t see it, but they can.  It’s strange, but it’s the only explanation.”

    “And now it’s ours!”  Techor and Livy leap from their hiding spots.
    “We thought we’d give you losers a fighting chance today.  We’ll do one-on-one battles with you.  It’s completely fair.  If we win, we get the disc.  Otherwise, you may scamper along.”
    “Don’t do it Icy, it’s gotta be a trick.”
    “It is, I can sense it.”
    “They know, plan B.”
    “Right!”
    “Go Muk, go Nidorino!”
    “Go Venomoth, go Nidorina!”
    “Well we aren’t going to surrender now.  I’m first up!  Blastoise go!” Nicky shouts.  Nidorino and Blastoise stood on opposite sides of the plant.
    “Nidorino!  Horn attack!” Techor shouts.  Nidorino jumps up to ram its horn into Blastoise’s head, but Blastoise used withdraw and retreats into its shell.  Nidorino hits the shell and gets knocked back.
    “Blastoise!  Now give it hydro pump!” Nicky shouts.  Blastoise gets out of its shell and begins firing massive amounts of water at Nidorino, but Nidorino was evading fast.
    “Nidorino!  Focus energy!”  Nidorino began glowing and got faster.  Blastoise wasn’t too scared.  When Nidorino jumped up to ram it, Blastoise countered up and skull bashed Nidorino right into a wall.  Techor recalled it.
    “My turn now!  Venomoth go!” Livy shouts.
    “It’s a flying type!  And flying type is weak against electricity!  Go Magnemite!” Lewis shouts.
    “Hey!  Where did you get a Magnemite???” Icy asks.
    “I caught it just as we got inside.” Lewis replies.
    Icy sighed and said, “I should’ve done that.”
    “Venomoth!  Hit it with stun spore!” Levy shouts.  Venomoth fired its stun spore at Magnemite.
    Lewis was quick to act, “Magnemite!  Dissolve it with sonic boom then follow up with thunder bolt!”  Magnemite fires a sonic boom dissolving the spore and then quickly shocked Venomoth stunning it for a second.  “Now finish it with thunder!” Lewis shouts.  Magnemite moves closer to fire the thunder, but Venomoth was quicker.  He quickly fired a psybeam at one of the magnets, making Magnemite spin while firing the thunder.  Magnemite shocked itself too much, and fainted.  “Return Magnemite.” Lewis says.
    “Muk go get them!” Techor shouts.
    “Ivysore get that pile of sludge!” Meeko shouts.  Ivysore jumps into battle stance.
    “Muk!  Poison gas attack!” Techor shouts.  Muk releases the gas, which surrounds Ivysore.  Ivysore barely noticed the gas.
    “Now Ivysore, Razor leaf!” Meeko shouts.  The leaves fired and dissipated the gas.  Muk then tried a tackle attack, which Ivysore easily evaded.  “Give it another razor leaf!” Meeko shouts.  The leaves fire and constantly pierce Muk, fainting it.
    “Return Muk.” Techor said, depressed that he had finally lost.
    “Well I will avenge you Techor!  Nidorina go!” Livy shouts.  Nidorina stood on the power plant floor.
    “I’m up now!  Ready to fight, come in sight!  Icy calls Hocus!” Icy shouts.  Icy picks up the pokéball with his two little hands and throws it.  It goes about two feet in the air, and Hocus comes out.
    “A new Pokémon of theirs?  Bah!  I will defeat it easily!” Hocus laughs.  Hocus fires a psybeam at the Nidorina, who surprisingly evades it quickly!  Nidorina jumped down for a double-kick attack.  Hocus teleported behind Nidorina, and Nidorina switched directions and kicked Hocus down!  Icy recalled his Pokémon.
    All of a sudden, a net fell on Icy!  “What’s the big idea-Hey!  Let me out of this!” Icy shouts.
    Techor immediately grabbed the net and said, “Fools!  The battle was merely a diversion so we could capture Icy!  Ha ha ha!”  Lewis jumped to try and tackle them, but they put down a smoke bomb and they were suddenly gone.

    “We have a problem.” Nicky says.  Suddenly they turn around, the disc was gone.
    “We need an electric Pokémon to find the disc!  Magnemite go!” Lewis shouts.  Magnemite floats out, and begins floating towards the location of the disc.  About 10 minutes later, they saw Techor and Livy floating away in a balloon.  “Not so fast airheads!  Pidgeot and Marowak, I choose you!” Lewis shouts.  Marowak jumps on Pidgeot’s back, and they fly up towards the balloon.  Marowak jumps off Pidgeot, and bone clubs the two TR members in the head.  Marowak quickly grabs Icy and jumps back onto Pidgeot, who flies them down.
    Techor and Livy get back up saying, “Well, you may have Icy back...  But we have the disc!”.  They hold up the disc.  Magnemite flies up and thundershocks the balloon.  It didn’t scratch it.  “Ha!  Our balloon is made from rubber!  You cannot defeat it!” Livy shouts.
    Magnemite suddenly was getting very angry!  All of a sudden, two Magnemites floated from the power plant and joined with Lewis’ Magnemite!  Everyone looked in amazement as the Magnemites grew larger together, and evolved!  Lewis pulled out his pokédex which opened up and said, “Magneton: the magnet Pokémon.  It generates strange radio signals, and it raises the temperature 3.6 degrees within 3,000 feet.”  Magneton quickly fired a tri-thunder shock that burst a hole through the balloon!
    Techor and Livy quickly jumped out and shouted, “Time for a Pokémon battle!  Muk, Nidorino, Venomoth, Nidorina, we choose you!”
    Techor and Livy landed on the ground safely as their pokémon leapt into battle.
    “I choose you Buttercup!”  Buttercup stormed into the clearing.  “Psybeam now!”  Buttercup targeted Muk with her psybeam knowing she was strongest against that particular pokémon.
    “Oh no, Muk, smokescreen now.”  Muk created a smokescreen and Buttercup lost sight of her target.
    “I might be of some assistance Icy,” Nicky said.  “Go Pidgeot!”  The giant bird appeared in the area.  “Whirlwind!”  The smokescreen vanished but Venomoth was closely pursuing Buttercup.
    “Reeeee, reeeeeeee, reeeee!!!” she screamed dodging Venomoth’s psybeam attacks.
    “Pidgeot, you help Buttercup.  Sandslash, go!”  Sandslash materialized.  “Sandslash, burrow under Team Rocket and get that disc.  It’s our only chance at beat these guys.”  Sandslash burrowed as ordered.
    Venomoth overtook Buttercup and nailed her with a short-range psybeam.  Buttercup was knocked out of the air and hit the floor hard.  Icy ran over to her.  “Nooooo, Buttercup!”  She was still alive, but very hurt.  “Buttercup, return.  I’ll heal you after we finish with these guys.”  Pidgeot finally caught Venomoth and used its wing attack to defeat Venomoth.
    “Aghh, my Venomoth.  Nidorina, get them!”
    “You too Nidorino.  Wha?”  Sandslash came up under them knocking the two agents over.  Techor lost grip of the disc and Sandslash grabbed it in its claws.  It returned to Nicky.
    “Excellent work.  Raichu, I choose you!”
    “Static, you too!”
    “Magneton, team up with Static and Raichu!”
    The three electric pokémon all looked at each other then at the marble disc.  Something inside them told them what they needed to do.  Just as Nidorino and Nidorina were about to tackle them all, they joined paws, and magnet, on the disc.  It was like time just stood still.  The room became so bright that everyone had to look away.  The emblem on the disc glowed a bright white.  Then, a massive electric discharge erupted from the disc.  It quickly blasted Nidorino and Nidorina then hit Techor and Livy.
    “AGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” they screamed cacophonously.  Finally, the shock wore out.  All three electric pokémon simply collapsed from the energy drain.  “Uhhhh, what hit us.  That disc made those electric pokémon super strong.  We’ve got to steal it back.”
    “No, let them keep it, we’ll get it later.  We can’t risk it now.”  Techor turned to Icy and his group.  “We’ll be back.  And next time, that little disc won’t save you.  Frosterpie is going to be Team Rocket’s!  Hahahaha!”  Livy produced a small sphere from her pocket and throws it against the floor.  “Now you see us,” {poof}, “now you don’t.”
    “Ahh, let ‘em run.  We beat them, finally.”
    “Yea, but next time won’t be that easy.  Their pokémon are so strong, we’ll need to have ours at full energy for that disc to stay effective.”
    “Icy, is Buttercup ok?” Sara asked.
    “Yes, she’s just hurt a bit.  On our way out, we can stop in the pokécenter.  I think there’s one not far from here.”

    And so our heroes have finally defeated Techor and Livy.  But was it just luck that gave them the win.  I sure hope not, because Techor and Livy don’t seem to give up easily.  But now, they finally found the first clue to unlocking the secrets of Frosterpie.  What new adventures lay in store for them next?  Find out next time on, The PokéWars.
