Chapter 245 - Chapter 245: The Ancient Puzzle Of Pokemopolis

(One sunny day.)

(somewhere in the forest outside of Pallet Town.)

(Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Pikachu, Agility attack!"

(Pikachu sprints forward.)

(Then Brock says.)

Brock: "Then we'll use an Agility attack, too! Vulpix, go!"

(Vulpix dashes forward.)

(As it turns out, Mew and Brock are having a Pokemon battle.)

(Pikachu vs. Vulpix. Mew continues to have her training and Brock agrees to be her opponent.)

(A good day to continue training for the Pokemon League.)

(Meanwhile, Tomo is playing with Eevee, Meloetta, Skwovet, Togepi, and Pichu.)

(Misty is fishing as she turns to see the battle.)

(Mew calls out.)

Mew: "Pikachu, Thunder Shock attack!"

(Pikachu charges up for his attack, and fires it at Vulpix.)

(Vulpix quickly dodges the attack.)

Brock: "Vulpix, Flamethrower!"

(Brock calls out.)

(Vulpix charges for her Flamethrower as Pikachu charges for another attack.)

(However, a Pokemon appears between the battlefield.)

(It's a shadow-like Pokémon holding a golden mask that has a face on it.)

(It has two shadowy, tendril-like arms and large, red eyes.)

(It also has a small tail-like appendage that holds the mask.)

(This shocks Mew and Brock.)

(Mew cries out.)

Mew: "Pikachu, hold it!"

Brock: "Vulpix, deflect it!"

(Brock calls out.)

(Both Pokemon aim their attacks away from the Pokemon and to the wall, causing a big explosion.)

(Meanwhile, in a different part of the area.)

(a woman with short blue hair and a red headband, wearing archaeological clothes hears the explosion.)

(There are also other men who are wearing the same outfits, hear it too.)

(A man asks.)

???: "Huh? What was that?"

???: "I'm not sure,"

(The woman answers.)

(Back at the battle field.)

(the explosion breaks the wall and the debris has fallen to the ground.)

(and it seems to uncover some kind of structure.)

Mew: "Wow, Pikachu. Your attacks are getting pretty strong."

(Mew says.)

Pikachu: "Pika," (I guess.)

(Pikachu replies.)

(Mew kneels down and picks up the Pokemon.)

(that has been knocked down by the attacks.)

Mew: "Are you okay? You should be more careful."

(Mew says.)

(The Pokemon looks at Mew and says.)

Yamask: "Yamask. Yamask. (Sorry. I was just passing through.)

Mew: "That's okay, just be more careful, okay."

(Mew says.)

Yamask: "Yamask," (Okay.)

(The Pokemon says.)

Misty: "What kind of Pokemon is that?"

(Misty asks.)

Brock: "It's a Yamask. It's very rare to see them around here."

(Brock says.)

Tomo: "It looks cool."

(Tomo says.)

(Mew brings out her Pokedex.)

Mew: "Yamask, huh."

(Then Dexter says.)

Dexter: "Yamask, the Spirit Pokemon. A Ghost Type. The spirit of a person from a bygone age became this Pokémon. It rambles through ruins, searching for someone who knows its face. This Pokemon originated in the Unova Region."

Tomo: "Neat,"

(Tomo says.)

(Misty turns away from the others and says.)

Misty: "Looks like we accidentally uncovered something. But what?"

Mew: "Yeah,"

(Mew says.)

(Brock walks to the ancient structure and says.)

Brock: "Looks like some kind of temple or something."

(Brock moves some of the rocks and looks to find something inside.)

Brock: "Hey! Look at this!"

(and picks it up.)

(Misty, Mew, Tomo, and the Pokemon surround Brock and look at the object Brock has found.)

(It's cylinder shape with two cones on both sides.)

(It's a gold amber color with strange patterns on it.)

(It also appears to have a blue gem or stone with a slot in the middle.)

Misty: "It looks sort of pretty."

(Misty comments.)

Tomo: "Yeah, pretty weird!"

(Tomo says.)

(Mew looks at it.)

Mew: "Wonder what it is."

(Suddenly, someone snatches Brock's hand, shocking the group.)

(They turn to see a woman with short blue hair and wears a red headband and is dressed like an archaeologist.)

(She observes the object with a magnifying glass.)

(Seeing what it is, the woman gets excited.)

???: "I finally found it!"

Misty: "You did?"

(Misty says, confused.)

(The woman turns around and calls out.)

???: "Professor! Look what I found!"

(She hurries over and gives it to the professor.)

(The man, who she calls professor happily says.)

professor: "Well, you've done it again! That's great work, Eve."

(Then Brock comes over.)

Brock: "Uh, sir. I'm the one who found whatever it is that is! We were having a training battle and.."

(The girl called Eve, interrupts and shakes Brock's hands.)

Eve: "Yes, thanks a lot. Couldn't have done it without you. Very helpful."

(Then turns to the professor.)

Eve: "This is the discovery we've been hoping for! I can hardly believe we found it!"

Misty: "We found it,"

(Misty mutters.)

(Then the professor happily says.)

professor: "Congratulations. Your discovery proves your hypothesis beyond any doubt."

(Mew and her friends are confused by this.)

(Then Eve says.)

Eve: "I think we should move the camp here, and begin a major excavation of the temple and the surrounding area.

(The professor laughs and says.)

professor: "Just take a look."

(Eve looks to see the crew has already done so.)

Eve: "Professor, you've already done it,"

(Eve says.)

(Just then, Mew asks.)

Mew: "Um excuse us, ma'am."

(Eve turns to notice the others.)

Eve: "Oh, hello. Can I help you?"

Mew: "Um yeah. I'm Mew, this is Pikachu, and Eevee, and this is Yamask,"

(Mew says.)

Tomo: "I'm Tomo, this is Skwovet, and Meloetta."

(Tomo says.)

Misty: "And I'm Misty, this is Togepi and Pichu,"

(Misty says.)

Brock: "And I'm Brock, it's nice to meet you,"

(Brock says, blushing.)

(As Mew and her friends talk with Eve.)

(Team Rocket is close by and have their binoculars focus on the ancient ruins.)

(Jessie laughs and says.)

Jessie: "Looks like the twerp patrol is onto something. Something valuable."

James: "It could be a veritable vault of valuables!"

(James says.)

Meowth: "And now it's our vault."

(Meowth says.)

(Down at the excavation site.)

(while the researchers dig up the ruins.)

(Mew and her friends are in the tent with Eve.)

(They are getting to know Eve and what she does.)

(Plus, Eve is showing them the artifacts they found.)

(Mew looks at one of them.)

Mew: "You know, this statue looks like a Psyduck."

(Then Misty says.)

Misty: "I remember reading about a hidden city where the people built temples to honor Pokémon."

Brock: "If they built a temple to honor Psyduck, they weren't hidden. They were lost."

(Brock comments.)

(Then Tomo asks.)

Tomo: "What was the name of this city?"

Misty: "I think it was called Pokémopolis. And it got destroyed and then totally disappeared."

(Misty says

(Brock picks up the statue and says.)

Brock: "The people who lived there believed Pokemon were symbols of nature's power, at least that's how the legend goes."

(Then comes to realize.)

Brock: "Hey! Maybe Pokémopolis was here!"

Eve: "We may have discovered the first positive proof of the real Pokémopolis! It's a real find!"

(Eve says, excited.)

(Just then, the professor runs inside the tent.)

professor: "Doctor! Look here!"

(The professor shows Eve the spoon.)

(that has the same color and pattern as the relic Mew and the others found.)

Eve: "The same material as the other relic. Where was it?"

(Eve replies.)

professor: "Right near the original one,"

(The professor says.)

(Eve takes the spoon and turns to the other relic.)

Eve: "The great two powers of destruction. These relics might be the key."

Tomo: "The key?"

(Tomo says, confused.)

Mew: "To what?"

(Mew wonders.)

(Then Misty asks.)

Misty: "Come, you called Eve doctor? She's way too young to be a real doctor."

professor: "By age six, Eve was already an expert in ancient Pokémopolitian civilization. Her research revolutionized the field! She got her PHD at eight."

(The professor explains, making Eve blush a bit.)

(Everyone exclaims.)

Everyone: "She must be a super brain!"

Pikachu and Skwovet: "Pika! Skwov! (Genius!)

(Pikachu and Skwovet say.)

Eevee and Meloetta: "Eev! Loetta!" (Super smart!)

(Eevee and Meloetta reply.)

(The professor laughs.)

professor: "When she was nine, Eve wrote her best selling book on her new theories on Pokémop.."

(But is interrupted when Eve moves him out of the tent.)

(Embarrassed, Eve says.)

Eve: "Okay, that's enough about me, Professor. You've got work to do!"

(And makes him leave the tent.)

professor: "Yes, doctor!"

(The professor says.)

(Meanwhile, Mew and her friends are baffled by Eve's accomplishments.)

Brock: "Doctor,"

(Brock says, smiling.)

Mew: "Already,"

(Mew replies.)

Misty: "When I was eight, I used to be afraid of doctors."

(Misty says, feeling weary.)

(Eve turns to the others.)

Eve: "Please, it's no big deal. And it's not like I had perfect grades or anything. I got an A minus, once."

(And chuckles sheepishly.)

(As Eve makes the spoon in her hand move, the relic begins to react.)
