Chapter 118: The Snow Mountain

(Mew and her friends continue on their journey.)

(as they walk down the path on a bright and sunny day.)

(Soon, they stop to see a fork in the road.)

(Pikachu turns to the others.)

Pikachu: "Pikachu? (So, which way?)

Mew: "Pikachu asked which way we go,"

(Mew says.)

Brock: "Hmm. Let's see,"

(Brock says, looking at the map.)

(Then says.)

Brock: "According to the map, the trail on the right heads straight up a mountain," Brock says.

Misty: "I don't wanna go mountain climbing,"

(Misty complains.)

Mew: "Mountain climbing doesn't sound so bad. What about the other path?"

(Mew asks.)

Brock: "The other path takes us around the mountain, but goes through a very large forest. Apparently, going up the mountain is the faster way,"

(Brock says.)

Mew: "Well, the sooner we get to the next town the better, so let's try right,"

(Mew says.)

(The group then decide to go on the right fork.)

(and soon find themselves climbing up the mountain.)

(To their surprise, the mountain is covered in snow.)

Misty: "Wow! We need a ski lift to get up this thing, guys,"

(Misty says.)

Brock: "I think we better just turn around and go the other way,"

(Brock says.)

Mew: "Maybe, but we should continue going this way, you did say it's the faster way,"

(Mew says.)

Tomo: "Tomo agrees,"

(Tomo replies.)

Brock: "We should put on our snow gears first,"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "Good idea,"

(Misty replies.)

(The group put on their snow gears and continue to walk up the mountain.)

(However, the snow is still very cold.)

Misty: "I'm freezing! How much further is it till we get over this thing?"

(Misty complains.)

Brock: "According to this map, we should be close to the top,"

(Brock says, then checks the compass.)

(But when he looks at it, the needle spins around and around.)

Brock: "Whoa.That's weird,"

(Brock comments.)

Mew: "What's weird?"

(Mew asks.)

Brock: "The compass went crazy! This mountain must have so much iron, that it's throwing the needle off!"

(Brock says.)

(The group gasps in concern.)

Misty: "If the compass doesn't work, how are we gonna find our way?"

(Misty panics.)

(But Brock says.)

Brock: "Now, don't panic. If the sun's up there about three o'clock, according to my calculations, that means.."

Everyone: "What? What does it mean?

(The group asks.)

(Then Brock answers.)

Brock: "We're lost."

(But Mew has an idea.)

Mew: "I know what we can do."

(Then Mew tosses her Pokeball.)

Mew: "Pidgeotto, I choose you!"

(Then Pidgeotto comes out of his Pokeball.)

Mew: "Pigeotto, can you fly up and find a trail that will lead us down the mountain?"

(Mew asks.)

(Pidgeotto nods his head and takes flight.)

(It flies high up and soon finds greenery.)

(Then Pidgeotto returns.)

Mew: "Did you find a way down?"

(Mew asks.)

(Pidgeotto answers.)

Pidgeotto: "Pidgeotto" (We need to go that way.)

Mew: "Good work, Pidgeotto!"

(Mew says.)

(Then turns to the others.)

Mew: "Come on, let's get going."

(With that, Mew and her friends continue to walk up the mountain.)

(Unknown to the group, something is flying towards the mountain, and it has blue feathers that shimmers at the tail.)

(Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain.)

(Team Rocket has been following the group again.)

(Meowth and James are hugging each other because they are freezing.)

Meowth: "Why'd they come to the cold way? I feel like a cat-sicle,"

(Meowth says, shivering.)

James: "I hate snow as much as you do,"

(James says.)

(Then turns his head.)

James: "But she loves it."

(Indeed, Jessie is singing as she is dancing around the snow.)

(She is very happy to be in the snow.)

(Confused, James asks.)

James: "Jessie, you don't actually like this frozen stuff?"

Jessie: "I love it! It brings back delicious memories!"

(Jessie happily says.)

Meowth: "The snow's making her a little flakey,"

(Meowth replies.)

(Jessie stops singing and says.)

Jessie: "Huh? I'm totally serious. Don't tell me that you've never eaten a snow-gasbord."

(Confused, James asks.)

James: "What is a…?"

Meowth: "Snow-gasbord?"

(Meowth adds.)

Jessie: "Snow-gasbord, one of the few cherished memories of my otherwise wretched childhood,"

(Jessie says.)

(Jessie remembers when she's a little girl, her mother made her food of her favorite dishes.)

(which are practically made with snow.)

(Jessie really loves the snow made food and is able to eat all of them.)

(Jessie happily sighs and says.)

Jessie: "There's nothing like 'snow-m- cooking."

(James shakes his head in shock.)

James: "I can't believe what I'm hearing."

Meowth: "You must be joking. You mean your mother actually made meals out of snow?"

(Meowth adds.)

Jessie: "We had to make due. Besides, snow food is low in fat and helped me maintain my fabulous figure,"

(Jessie says.)

(James and Meowth look at Jessie looking dumbfounded.)

(Then Jessie says.)

Jessie: "A snow-roll with just a dash of soy sauce. Mmm. There's nothing like it,"

(Jessie says with glee.)

(Then says.)

Jessie: "Of course, only freshly fallen snow will do."

(James and Meowth think differently.)

James: "Ooh, sounds awful,"

(James comments.)

Meowth: "Yeah, but at least it's all natural,"

(Meowth says.)

James: "Let's get going before the sun sets,"

(James says.)

(Then points his finger.)

James: "We can head them off if we use the balloon."

(Soon, the group reached the Hot Air Balloon.)

Jessie: "Let's make like snow and drift,"

(Jessie says.)

(Then James laughs.)

(Soon, they begin their Motto.)

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!

James: To unite all peoples within our nation.

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!

James: To extend our reaches to the stars above.

Jessie: Jessie!

James: James!

Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light.

James: Surrender

(Suddenly, Meowth screams in a kind of panic.)

(Jessie grabs Meowth and says.)

Jessie: "Stop interrupting, Meowth.

James: "We're getting to the best part,"

(James adds.)

(Meowth screams.)

Meowth: "But the balloon is drifting away!"

(Jessie and James look up to see the balloon is drifting away.)

(They all scream and begin to chase after the balloon as they fly away.)

(They continue to chase the balloon as they scream and panic.)

(Time has gone by, and dark clouds begin to roll into the sky.)
