Chapter 90: Chapter 90: The Dig Those Diglett
(So far, it has been several months since Mew has started her Pokemon Journey.)
(She has discovered lots of adventures and made good friends.)
(Soon Mew and her friends find themselves in the mountains to find the next Pokemon Gym.)
Brock: "We sure have traveled a long way,"
(Brock says.)
Misty: "Yeah, we've seen tons of places. I wonder where we should go now,"
(Misty replies.)
Mew: "We'll we're still trying to find the Fuchsia gym, so that's a good start."
(Mew says.)
(Looking at the map, Brock says.)
Brock: "Well, Fuchsia gym isn't too far from here."
Misty: "Where is it?"
(Misty asks.)
Brock: "Over the mountain,"
(Brock says.)
(The group looks ahead to see multiple mountains.)
Misty: "Uh Brock, over which mountain?"
(Misty asks.)
Brock: "The map says the Fuchsia gym's on the other side of one of those mountains right over there,"
(Brock says, looking at the map.)
(He then tries to find the direction.)
Brock: "Good point. Is it this way? Or that way? Or maybe it's that way."
(He then becomes frustrated.)
Brock: "Oh, great. We're surrounded by mountains on every side!"
Misty: "Don't tell me we're lost again."
(Misty complains.)
Brock: "Okay, I won't tell you,"
(Brock answers.)
Pikachu: "Pikachu," (Oh boy.)
(Pikachu says.)
Eevee: "Eevee," (Here we go again.)
(Eevee replies.)
(Then Brock notices.)
Brock: "Wait a minute! It looks like there's a road here."
Mew: "Well, let's hit it."
(Mew replies.)
(Mew and the others decide to take the road and Misty lets out a sigh.)
(Yet she decides to follow.)
(Meanwhile, Jessie and James are sitting down for a picnic while Meowth is doing sit-ups.)
Jessie: "I'm having some lovely Chinese food,"
(Jessie says with glee.)
(James pours himself some tea.)
James: "It's tea and crumpets for me."
Meowth: "Nothing for Meowth. I'm getting a gut,"
(Meowth says, doing his sit-ups.)
(Jessie and James cheer.)
Jessie and James: "Work that body."
(Jessie soon laughs picking up her plate.)
(James then says.)
James: "Cheers."
(The two are about to eat when an explosion occurs.)
(Mew and her friends feel the ground shake as the bird Pokemons fly away in fright.)
(Mew and her friends even feel the earthquake.)
Misty: "I wonder what that was,"
(Misty says, surprised.)
(Meanwhile Jessie and Jame's have their picnic interrupted by the explosion.)
(In fact, their plates land on their heads.)
Jessie: "I didn't get a taste,"
(Jessie says with a frown.)
(James says.)
James: "I didn't get a sip!"
Meowth: "That's the breaks, but I wonder where that big blast came from,"
(Meowth says.)
(Suddenly, another explosion occurs.)
(Mew notices the sound.)
Mew: "It's coming from over there!"
(Mew and the others hurry down the road to find the source of the explosion and earthquake.)
(Meanwhile, Team Rocket is devastated that their lunch is ruined.)
(Jessie holds her plate and a gravy boat.)
Jessie: "My lunch break is ruined!"
James: "No tea party for me!"
(James says, holding his cracked cup.)
(They both say in fury.)
Jessie and James: "Someone's gonna pay for this!"
(Then dashes off in a flash.)
(Meowth quickly follows after them.)
Meowth: "Hey! Wait for me!"
(At the different side of the area, Mew and the others hurry down the path and come to the opening to see different trucks driving down the road.)
(The trucks are heading to a construction site.)
(followed by explosions occurring on the nearby rock walls.)
(Team Rocket arrives to see the explosion that a boulder falls.)
Jessie: "This place looks like a battle zone,"
(Jessie comments.)
(Then James says.)
James: "Maybe we're being attacked by aliens from another planet!"
Jessie: "What planet are you from?"
(Jessie says, annoyed.)
(Soon, potholes are appearing on the road and trucks' tires are falling in them.)
(causing a big crash on the spot.)
(Mew and her friends are shocked.)
Misty: "What a wreck!"
(Misty says, shocked.)
Brock: "This is terrible!"
(Brock says.)
(Mew, Pikachu, and Eevee are speechless.)
(Jessie says.)
Jessie: "Oh, the destruction."
James: "And we didn't cause it!"
(James adds.)
(Suddenly, Pikachu and Eevee hear a strange sound coming from the ground.)
(Mew hears the sound as well and kneels down to the ground.)
(The sound says repeatedly.)
Diglett: "Diglett Dig… Diglett Dig… Diglett Dig…"
(Soon, a small Pokemon comes out from the hole saying.)
Diglett: "Diglett."
(The little Pokemon is a tiny, brown Pokémon that seems to be perpetually buried within the earth.)
(leaving only its head visible.)
(Its small stature makes it both the lightest and shortest Ground-type.)
(It has beady black eyes and a large, round, pink nose.)
(Curious, Mew, Pikachu and Eevee walk and kneel to the little Pokemon.)
Mew: "It's a Diglett. Hi Diglett,"
(Mew says.)
(Diglett smiles.)
Diglett: "Diglett!" (Hello.)
(Then goes back underground.)
(Unknown to the ground, Meowth spots them from above the ledge.)
Meowth: "So THAT's it!"
(Meowth says.)
(From the wreckage, a man wearing a blue construction suit.)
(black boots and a yellow hard hat walks out and is sounding upset.)
(The man screams as he bangs on the ground.)
Foreman: "I just can't take it anymore!"
Mew: "Are you alright?"
(Mew asks.)
Foreman: "It's the Diglett! They're destroying everything!"
(The foreman shouts, upset.)
Mew: "The Diglett?"
(Mew replies.)
(The Foreman points out.)
Foreman: "See? They're right over there!"
(The group turns to see the little digging Pokemon popping their heads from the ground saying.)
Diglett: "Diglett Dig Diglett Dig Diglett Dig."
Misty: "Oh, look, how cute!"
(Misty happily comments.)
(But the Foreman angrily says.)
Foreman: "You think they're cute, do you?! Thanks to them, we can't finish building that dam!"
(He becomes very frustrated.)
Foreman: "I hate Diglett! I hate them!"
(Mew takes out her Pokedex.)
Mew: "Hmm, maybe the Pokedex can tell us more about them."
(Dexter says.)
Dexter: "Diglett, the Mole Pokemon. A Ground Type. The movement of these ground Pokemon can be easily detected by their tracks of upturned earth."
(Mew looks at the road.)
Mew: "Hmm. I don't see any upturned earth. Just a long road of concrete."
(The foreman says.)
foreman: "Your friend is right. The ground here is covered by concrete. But if you look closely.."
(Soon, cracks begin to appear on the concreted ground.)
Mew: "They're underneath,"
(Mew comments.)
Misty: "It looks like a mini earthquake,"
(Misty replies.)
(The Foreman says, depressed and on his knees.)
Foreman: "And it looks like we'll never be able to accomplish our dream of building the great Gaiva dam here in these mountains."
Mew: "Gaiva dam?"
(Mew says, confused.)
foreman: "Over there,"
(The foreman says, pointing to the construction site.)
(They see the construction workers are using cranes to lift pipes and the explosions occur knocking down boulders.)
Brock: "That blasting is part of building a dam?"
(Brock says, confused.)
foreman: "Yes, the blasting is part of building a dam! But we can't get supplies through because of Diglett!"
(The foreman explains.)
Brock: "That is a problem,"
(Brock says.)
(The group then looks at the construction site, and the wreckage from the crash.)
(Foreman says.)
Foreman: "We even created a special division for developing strategies to fight off the Diglett. We're calling for any able Pokemon trainer who's traveling through the area. Somebody with real Pokemon know-how who can help us get rid of these Diglett! The reward is a six night seven day stay at the famous Gaiva hot springs resort! if you know any Poke…"
Mew: "We're a whole group of able Pokemon trainers at your service,"
(Mew says.)
foreman: "Oh, so YOU'RE the first squad of trainers we called in!"
(The foreman says, excited.)
Mew: "Oh, well, we weren't exactly called in,"
(Mew says.)
(Suddenly, they hear someone say.)
???: "The first Pokemon trainers have arrived! The rest are in these buses."
(And the voice is familiar.)
(The group turns to see a familiar face coming out of one of the buses.)
(Surprised, Mew says.)
Mew: "It's Gary."
(Soon, Gary notices Mew.)
Gary: "Well, if it isn't Mew Mew. What're you doing here?"
Mew: "We were trying to get to the Fuchsia Gym when we heard the construction and the wreckage,"
(Mew says.)
(Then sternly says.)
Mew: "And don't call me Mew Mew."
Gary: "I see, I already got my Sixth Gym Badge already. You're a little behind,"
(Gary says.)
Mew: "I won't be for long,"
(Mew says.)
(Suddenly, the Foreman screams in anger.)
Foreman: "Can we please get back to the business at hand?! Somebody's got to get rid of these Diglett! Don't forget, a resort vacation!"
(Then tosses paper around.)
Gary: "Don't give it another thought, sir. Those Diglett are as good as gone now that Gary Oak is on the case,"
(Gary says.)
(Mew turns to her friends.)
Mew: "We might as well come along. Maybe we can figure out why the Digletts are doing this."
Brock: "Good idea,"
(Brock says.)
(Then Mew says.)
Mew: "I don't know why, but I feel like we're dealing with the same scenario as what happened at Porta Vista."
Brock: "Let's hope we don't have to deal with another giant sized Pokemon,"
(Brock replies.)
