The next morning......
Yukiko found the boys all asleep with Grandpa Bokuden from his long stories.
"Hey, boys wake up." Yukiko shook Sanji and Usopp.
"Eh, what?" Usopp asked as he yawned.
"What is it Yuki-chan?" Sanji asked as Zoro woke up.
"Come on, I'll explain when we get there."
------------
They all followed Yukiko up the mountain where the others were and in to the cave where their reactions were the same as the trio when they spotted the huge green feathered beast, they stood frozen their jaws in the floor.
Apis popped up from Ryu's back and greeted the other a smile on her face. "Morning."
Nami taking pity on the stunned men explained. "This is the Millennial Dragon grandpa Bokuden was talking about."
"See?! Isn't he cool?!" Luffy said.
"Luffy don't talk like he's yours." Yukiko muttered sweatdropping.
"When you get closer to the Grand Line you run into things like this, huh?" Usopp said cautiously.
"Since there're sea kings as well, I guess this is possible..." Sanji trailed off.
"No way," Zoro grinned menacingly. "I'm getting excited."
"No way is this level enough to make me give up my dream to see all of the beautiful women in the world." Sanji swooned a not so innocent fire lit in his eyes.
"Wait a minuet I thought your dream was to see All Blue." Usopp frowned.
Sanji chuckled softly and brushed his bangs out of his eyes. "A man can have more than one dream Usopp." He said coolly taking a drag of his cigarette. Usopp sweatdropped.
"I-Is he harmless?!" Usopp asked a stuttering mess and shaking like a leaf. He brought everyone's attention back to the dragon. Ryu leaned forward and bumped his mouth against Usopp said nose before locking his entire face, Usopp stood frozen in terror as the dragon tasted him.
"Ah!" Apis exclaimed, " He can be a little senile sometimes, so if he acts like your're food, get away!"
CHOMP!
"It's too late!" Usopp screamed crying with his head between the dragons jaws.
Luffy laughed not trying to help his at all. "But it doesn't Hurt right, I guess you can call it soft mouth?"
Usopp floundered. "Wh-wh-what're you saying?! He's not a puppy."
"Let him eat you like that." Teased Zoro.
"ZOROO!" Usopp whined.
"Don't! He'll have food poisoning." Sanji joined in.
"What'd you say, you dame love cook?!" Usopp growled.
Yukiko laughed and Pachi said something to Ryu who released Usopp who fell to the floor and scurried backwards and hide behind the rock.
"Thank you." Yukiko said stroking his head.
"So the Navy is going after is this dragon right?" Sanji said crossing his arms over his chest.
The girls nodded. "Most likely." Replied Apis.
"Frankly the reason we brought you here is that we'd like to bring this dragon back to Lost Island." Nami asked.
"He needs to get there to get better. But he doesn't have the strength to move." Yukiko added.
"Wh-what are you saying?! The Navy's after us!" Usopp spluttered still hiding behind the rock, "Where gonna have enough trouble just getting away, how the heck could we take such a big creature..."
Apis cut Usopp off. "Grandpa Ryu... wants to go home...so..."
"Don't tell me Luffy that you promised her, like 'yeah! I'll bring him home'..." Usopp accused in a mocking tone of voice.
"That's right! I promised and said 'I'll bring him home." Luffy chirped happily.
"Don't do that! We don't know where that island is, right." Usopp growled in annoyance.
"It wasn't just Luffy, I also want to bring the dragon back home. I promised too!" Yukiko said as Pachi agreed.
"So do you have any idea where it might be!" Usopp shot at her.
"...Well... no. But, I'm sure we'll be able to find it if we try hard enough." Yukiko said resolutely clenching her fist in front of her face.
"As if! See you haven't got a clue either... no wait I was stupid for asking you in the first place, how could you know where Lost Island is your from a whole different world." Usopp ranted to himself, "No this mission is lost just like the island let's not do this guy's." He pleaded pitifully.
But to his dismay, the others were going in on the idea to help.
"You guys weren't you listening to anything I said, it's impossible the a Navy fleet is at the dock waiting for us, cannons at the ready!" Usopp shouted at them.
"I thought grandpa Ryu would get his energy back once he gone home..." Apis trailed off sadly, lovingly stroking Ryu's beak and leaving Usopp stunned into silence.
"Animals have a migration instinct." Nami told Usopp.
Sanji nodded. "That's right this Millennial Dragon may know something. If we can get it out on to the sea it could lead us right there." He explained to them.
"Yeah let's find Lost Island!" Luffy said.
"But..." Usopp trailed off pathetically.
Zoro sat completely relaxed on a rock said, "Well, things will probably work out, don't you think?"
"Zoro..." Usopp whined.
"That's fine, but what are we going to do with him? Just bringing him down the mountain alone will be alot of work." Sanji said.
"That's right, this guy is big." Zoro agreed.
"How about a cart?" Yukiko said like it was the most obvious thing in the world, "A big enough one for even grandpa Ryu to ride."
"Ahh..." Usopp sighed shaping a hand over his face.
Luffy grinned as he pumped his fists. "All right!"
----------------
"Gum-Gum Gatling!" Luffy shouted repeatedly punching tree trunks snapping them and sending them crashing to the ground.
Sanji flipped onto his hands and with his legs outstretched spun in a circle, the power of his kicks breaking through the tough wood.
Zoro unsheathed his three swords one in either hand and one in his mouth, he ran through the surrounding forests slicing and slashing at the trees.
"Is this enough Nami-san?" Sanji asked pleasantly.
"Yeah. Okay!" Nami praised giving them the thumbs up.
"Aah! Since you've gone and done all this guess I'll have to help. I'll do it. All right, I'll do it!" Usopp reluctantly groaned, pouting like a child.
"Let's get to work." Luffy said to Usopp, making his way over to the others. Yukiko started to follow them, to help out with whatever she could, but was pulled back by Nami.
"Leave the grunt work to the men let's sit over their and wait for them to finish." Nami told her.
"But don't they need our help?" The whitette questioned.
"No, leave them too it. You come too Apis." Nami dragged Yukiko and Pachi to a patch of soft grass and sat down.
------
"Phew! I guess this is it." Usopp said wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"This thing won't break even with grandpa Ryu riding on it!" Apis shouted jumping up and down on the cart. Along with Luffy who was stamping on it. "Yeah!" He agreed.
"But the harbour is still blocked by the Navy, right? What will we do with the ship?"
"It'll work out right?" Luffy asked Sanji.
"No it won't!" Sanji said.
"Want to make a raid." Said Zoro.
"That's not going to work." Nami explained, "Since we have grandpa Ryu."
"Actually what if we bring our ship to the back of the Island?" Yukiko suggested.
"Good idea!" Usopp exclaimed taking a step forward, "It's the precious ship that Kaya gave us. I'll do it." He volunteered.
He's so cool, was Apis's fleeting thought.
"However..." Ussop continued, "Zoro comes with me!"
"Me too?!" Questioned the unamused Zoro.
"Then I'll leave it to you two." Nami said in a chipper voice.
"Okay, so... How about we wait until nightfall?" Usopp asked hopefully.
"We cant, that will give the Marines time to find us." Yukiko said.
"That's right!" Nami snapped.
"Don't worry about it. Just bring the ship around." Nami said cutting Usopp off.
"I can help with getting Ryu on the cart." Yukiko said as she took out a Luxury Pokeball. "Mewtwo. I'll need your help."
The Genetic Pokémon came out in his powerful Psychic glory and the crew and even Apis could feel its might.
"Aaaaah! He looks intimidating." Usopp said from behind Sanji.
As Sparks popped up.
"Mewtwo the Genetic Pokémon.
This Pokémon was actually created from the DNA of Mew, the Ancestor of all Pokémon after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments. Its powers are dedicated to battling but the scientists failed to give it a compassionate heart. It has enough power to destroy the moon."
"Wait, your world has cloning science?" Nami asked.
"Yeah but Mewtwo was the only Pokémon ever that survived the Cloning process. I'll talk about it another time. For now, Mewtwo, please help Ryu get on the cart." Yukiko said as Mewtwo complied.
"Wow! " Luffy and Apis exclaimed in amazement of Mewtwo's powers.
Returning Mewtwo to his Pokeball, Yukiko nodded that Ryu's all set.
-------------
-While Zoro and Usopp were getting the ship, the others were looking out to see trying to spot the Going Merry. But then Apis panicked.
"This is bad! The bird said the Navy is getting close!" Apis fretted.
Yukiko's eyes went huge when she caught sight of the sheer numbers of the marines making their way up to them and all of them had guns and swords.
"They're here quicker than what I thought." Nami mused not sounding concerned at all.
"Hey what are you going to do now?" Apis questioned.
"Don't worry Apis, we won't let them get Ryu." Yukiko told her as Pachi nodded.
"Once the Going Merry is at the Cape, we'll all go all the way down." Nami explained.
Then Yukiko spotted who she believed was the leader. A man with gold shoulder decorations, she supposed he must be the leader turned and seemed to be giving the rest a pep talk. Yukiko's eyes drifted over the crowd and landed on a man not wearing the white Navy uniform that the rest were wearing.
He was wearing a off gray suit and black shoes the pants off his suit had a dark purple stripe running down on both legs. It was his hair that stood out the most it was a bright violet colour. She didn't even realise what she was doing when she pointed straight at him and exclaimed. "Whipped-cream Head!"
Luffy zeroed in to where she was pointing down the mountain and burst out laughing. "Hahaha! He really does, Whipped-cream Head it suits him!" He continued to laugh.
But this was no time for laughs marines were getting their guns ready.
"No don't shoot grandpa Ryu!" Apis exclaimed shielding Ryu with her tiny body.
"Apis!" Nami and Yukiko exclaimed.
The latter took out Mewtwo's Pokeball once more.
"Mewtwo, intercept!"
Ryu shifted his tail to protect Apis and sat up.
"Shoot!" The marine captain shouted.
"Stop it!" Apis screamed desperately, shoving Ryu's tail out of the way.
But Mewtwo appeared in a flash and stopped the bullets before flinging them right back at the marines who had gobsmacked looks on their faces.
"Wh-what the..."
"What is that thing?!"
"Th-e bullets definitely...!" The marines mumbled worriedly between themselves.
"Is that creature from a devil fruit?." Whipped-cream Head asked.
"Not even close. Mewtwo use Swift then Confuse Ray! Pachi, Thunderbolt!" Yukiko said.
The two Pokémon did so paralyzing the weaker marines. Except for the Whipped-cream Head.
However, Luffy got in on the action by punching some marines with his powers.
"He stretched?!"
"He must have the power of the devil fruit." The Whipped-cream Head said.
"That's right, Whipped-cream Head. I'm a rubber person." Luffy clarified.
"Wha-who're you calling Whipped-cream Head?! The names Eric!" Eric shouted one of his hands reached up to smooth out his gravity defying swirly hair.
"De-Devil Fruit...!"
"Ru-rubber person...?"
"What's that?"
"-Use..."
"-Use swords!" Eric interrupted the marine captain. "Guns won't work against rubber!"
The marines unsheathed their swords and with a battle cry charged.
"Sanji-kun! " Nami shouted.
"Yes, Nami-san!" Sanji charged at the approaching enemies, a smile in his face. And took a group of them down with a series of complicated looking kicks, sending them flying in all directions.
"Gum-Gum Gatling!" Luffy shouted sending out a flurry of punches that the marines had no chance of escaping.
"Blaise, Hielias, come out! Double Fire Blast!" Yukiko threw two Pokeballs and the Flame and Scorching Pokémon unleashed their fire attacks scaring the marines.
Apis and Nami screamed when one of the marines that had got past the boys held up his sword ready to strike.
"Nami, Apis!"
"Nami-san!"
But Mewtwo intercepted with Psychic.
"Picking on the weak? Pathetic. You're not worth crushing." Mewtwo flung the marine into the ocean.
"W-ha?! That thing talked!"
"How is it doing it?! Voodoo?!"
The marines panicked as these creatures were too much for them. "You call yourselves the Navy?" Eric sneered at the cowering marines. He walked forward past the fallen marines. "Really, you guys are good for nothing." He sighed.
One of the fallen marines got to his feet at started to walk back to the captain. Eric froze as the injured marine approached and swiped his right hand across the marines chest, said marine let out a cry of pain and collapsed to the floor.
"-What was that?"
"-A knife?" Sanji speculated.
"No." Yukiko said, staring intently at Eric frowning.
"My name is Eric the Whirlwind." He introduced himself. "I'm a mercenary hired by Nelson Royal."
"I thought so. You don't have the uniform."
"We don't have any business with you pirates. We have some business with that Millennial Dragon." He negotiated. But then threatened. "If you get in our way. I'll make you all victims of my wind slash, the power of the Sickle Sickle Fruit."
"-hey he said Sicko Sicko..." Sanji mumbled.
"-Sicko?" Luffy repeated.
"No, Sickle. He has a Devil Fruit power." Yukiko said getting their guard up.
"-What shall we do?"
"-What shall we do?" Luffy echoed Sanji.
"Mewtwo. Blaise. Get rid of this snake. Flame Charge and Psycho Cut!" Yukiko said as the two Pokémon moved as threw Erik off guard as his power could not cut through them. He was knocked further into the forest.
"Alright, Mewtwo, can you teleport us to the ship? And put Ryu and his cart behind the ship until we tie it up." Yukiko said as Mewtwo complied and they all arrived on the ship.
------
"Wha?! They vanished!"
"How?!"
"Was that black magic?!"
Nelson growled at this. "That girl threw me my men off guard and got way. But whatever those creatures are, they are powerful." Then he gained an evil smirk. "If we got our hands on them, the Navy, no, I would be unstoppable."
-----------------
On the Going Merry...
"That was close." Luffy breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey! How did you get here?!" Usopp yelled as Mewtwo held up raft and the others were tying up the ropes to the ship.
"I had Mewtwo teleport us here." Yukiko said.
"Oh I see-wait, you had a Pokémon that could Teleport us the whole time?!" Usopp yelled.
"Yeah, sorry kinda slipped my mind as the day's been crazy." Yukiko apologized.
"It's okay Yuki-chan, we forget things sometimes." Sanji swooned.
"Wait can't he take us to Lost Island already?" Zoro suggested.
"He can't. He has to know where the Island is. Without precise coordinates, he can't teleport us there." Yukiko said.
"But our escape worked out alright." Apis said happily.
"Alright, Blaise, Hielias scout the sky for a deserted island. It may be the place we are looking for." Yukiko told her two fire Pokémon as they took to the sky.
They unfurled the sails and the ship began to sail.
"Our destination is Lost Island!" Luffy announced.
------------
Another chapter done!
Yup Mewtwo is here!
Yes, I know Mewtwo doesn't use it in the games, but he does in the Super Smash Bros series.....
And Yukiko and her Pokémon caught the attention of the marines....
