"We leave this message for the extraterrestrials.
We know not how, or why, it will come.
Your life is limited, with no place here.
It shall be reversed, and then,
The world shall be re-inherited by Pokemon."

In her attempt she is put on trial by a group of Pokemon Sages, rulers of the underworld, but this leads to her finding a conspiracy between the Electric and Steel sages to bring about a prophecy that Pokemon would rule over Pokeworld once more, even though sages are not supposed to mess with the outside world.

Story

Chapter 1: The Pokemon Inheritance

Part 1: The Dominating Prophecy

Medulla begins to feel down in her lab, as all her recent plans have failed on her, usually exploding in her face. She tries to think of a new plan when she overhears on the news of a new temple found in the Ruins of Alph. She forms a plan to go there and fabricate a message that names her as the chosen ruler of Pokeworld.

Part 2: Kanto James

Medulla arrives at the Ruins of Alph and traps the archeologists there in their cabin so she could get into the ruins without them finding her. She then enters the ruins and is knocked about by a flurry of traps until she passes out in a room.

Part 3: The Pokemon Inherit

Medulla awakes and hurries to carve in her prophecy, but instead finding another prophecizing that Pokemon would re-inherit Pokeworld. About that time the archeologists show up and she hides; they find the prophecy, but it gives her an idea and she leaves. Returning to her lab, she notes that Pokemon is both the plural and singular form of the word.

Chapter 2: The Pokemon Ruler

Part 4: The Prophecy Revealed

The archeologists present their findings at a presentation in Saffron City. After some questions from reporters are answered, Medulla interrupts the conference and claims that the true message was that she would rule the planet, not Pokemon in general.

Part 5: Differing Voices

Over the next week the recent event creates a buzz throughout Pokeworld until a small riot erupts in Goldenrod City. At this point the Pokeworld Defensive Forces issues a statement to try and calm the tension. Meanwhile, Medulla appears on the talk show Late Show with Davie Numberm'n, where she goes into her past and decries Team Rocket. Giovanni gets wind of this, and declares they need to capture Medulla so she would stop besmirching their name.

Part 6: Kidnapped!

As Medulla walked home in the winter snow, Some Rocket Grunt emerged from the shadows to capture her. Some Rocket Grunt attacks her with his Murkrow, Trapinch and Spinarak, but during the battle the PDF arrived to take out Medulla. The soldiers and Some Rocket Grunt end up distracting one another and Medulla escapes to her lab, only to be caught in a burlap sack. A Sleep Powder then incapacitates her.

Chapter 3: The Pokemon Sages

Part 7: Welcome to Olympus Cave

Medulla awakes in a cave and sees a Yanmega and Vileplume (the ones who kidnapped her), along with a Haunter. They call the cave Olympus Cave, and a Mew appears to tell Medulla she is on trial for misusing a prophecy of the Pokemon Sages. 12 sages appear, one for each Pokemon type except Fighting; as soon as roll call is completed, Laggle, a Gallade, arrives late.

Part 8: Medulla's Trial

Medulla's trial begins, but Medulla demands on what grounds they have to put her on trial. They explain that they are the Pokemon Sages, rulers of the underworld and the ones to keep the world in balance, and Medulla's use of the prophecy has put the world off-balance, something that breaks Pokemon Sage code. Medulla claims that she did not know of the code, and if she had she would not have broken it; furthermore, she believes it her right, duty, and destiny to someday rule Pokeworld.

The sages point out Medulla's actions have caused tensions to rise between humans and Pokemon; Medulla makes the case that she must ascend to power to bring humans under control, but the sages point out that Medulla caused further chaos (and still broke the code.) Finally they take a vote, each sage speaking their decision out loud. By the time they get to Mew a majority has already been made, but the final vote is six for not guilty and eleven for guilty. Medulla is declared guilty, and by a 14-3 margin she is placed in custody of Churzle, a Raichu and the electric sage. The sages then disperse and leave her to Churzle.

Part 9: The Prophecy Fulfiller

Churzle leads Medulla through a tunnel in Olympus Cave and he explains that he wants her to make a machine he was building work, something that can teleport people between the various underworlds. The Steel Devil appears and they explain (in song form) that the two of them wish to fulfill the prophecy with Medulla's help, by releasing the Pokemon from the underworld back onto Pokeworld, the realm of the living.

Although the rules state sages are not to mess with prophecies or Pokeworld, Churzle admits he's tired of the rules and wants to free Pokemon. The Steel Devil tells Medulla she can join them and be regarded as heroes and the leaders of the new Pokemon-ruled world. Medulla says she fixed the machine during the song, but Churzle and the Steel Devil betray her. She tries to take back the machine but it activates and hits her, sending her away and leaving the two sages to begin their plan.

Chapter 4: An Abnormal Day

Part 10: In the Wrong Death

With Medulla out of the way, Churzle and the Steel Devil return to their respective underworlds to rally the Pokemon there. Meanwhile, Medulla appears in the Normal-type underworld. She meets a Meowth who is suspicious of her, as non-Normal-types were not supposed to appear there. He leads her to a building and locks her in.

Part 11: A Test of Sorts

Medulla finds herself in a room with a Regigigas who labels her as an intruder, and forces a quiz onto her; if she fails, she will perish. She gets every question right until the final one (asking about Donald Duck's uncles), causing the Regigigas to pound her with a Mega Punch. A Buneary hears the commotion outside and opens the door, allowing Medulla to escape. She then confronts the Meowth, Meouroguard, and they begin to fight when Wuggles appears to stop them.

Part 12: Traveling Across Deaths

Wuggles brings Medulla to her temple, a house carved from a tree, and Medulla explains to him what Churzle and the Steel Devil were planning. Wuggles shows Medulla that he has a portal to the Fire-type Underworld, as each underworld has two portals to others in a loop. The Steel-type Underworld portal is closed, though, and he forgot the code to open it, so Medulla agrees to go through the Fire and Water-type underworlds to reach Churzle in the Electric-type Underworld.

Chapter 5: Feeling the Fiery Flames

Part 13: An Unwelcome Electric

After a choir of Fire Pokemon sing of Medulla's quest, Medulla finds herself in the Fire Underworld. As she is about to find Vire's temple, a Moltres appears out of nowhere and begins to attack Medulla. She suspects that, as Meouroguard thought she was there to cause trouble at the Normal-type Underworld, Moltres thinks she's there to cause trouble. She notices a power plant nearby and rushes inside to escape Moltres.

Part 14: Volcanoes Are So Yestertime

Medulla meets a Flareon and Torkoal who explains the Fire Plant to her. Moltres tries to get in and Medulla flees, finding a part of the Fire Planet set up like a temple. She enters and meets Vire, who has been told about Churzle's plan by Wuggles already. Vire explains that because only sages have complete control over the portals between underworlds, Medulla will be plopped at a random place each time. Furthermore, Pokemon will likely attack Medulla for being in the wrong underworld unless the sages alert the others that she has clearance, but she is unsure if she should give Medulla clearance.

Part 15: When You Wish Upon a Tail

Vire tells Medulla a tale about a beautiful Vulpix born only once in a thousand years, who became very haughty and proud because she believed it was her beauty that made her special, but over hundreds of years never evolved into a Ninetales; one day she met Jirachi, who refused to grant her a wish due to her attitude, so she tried to capture and sell it. Jirachi escaped and used its powers to make the Vulpix very ugly; the Vulpix became depressed and hid in the woods, only for an ancestor to come to her and tell her it was not her beauty, but her psychic powers that made her special, but the Vulpix realized it was neither of those but what she did with them that made her special. She returned to Jirachi, who refused to make her beautiful again, but the Vulpix accepted this. With this acceptance her true power came forth and she evolved into a Ninetales, but no longer cared about her beauty.

Vire tells Medulla she had voted her guilty to send her on a learning experience, but had not foreseen Churzle and the Steel Devil's plan. She contacts the other sages to warn them about the plan and that Medulla will likely be crossing through; with that, Medulla will no longer have to worry about Pokemon attacking her in the underworlds, and she heads into the Water-type Underworld.

Chapter 6: A High-Seas Adventure

Part 16: In Fact, It Is a Whale!

Medulla enters the Water Underworld and nearly falls into a huge ocean but lands on a Wailord, the mode of transportation for people in the underworld. She meets Muza, an Azumarill, Not-Quite-Very-Speedy-Polk, a Slowbro they call Pokey, Tops, a Kabutops, and Lulu, a Ludicolo. Lulu starts to dance with Medulla, but a group of Pokemon in the sea prepare to attack the Wailord...

Part 17: Bigmouth the Pirate

As they ride on the Wailord, it is suddenly attacked by a group of Sharpedo. A Feraligatr named Bigmouth the Pirate jumps onto the Wailord, declaring it is after the treasure stocked in every Wailord ferry. Medulla fights Bigmouth while Tops and Pokey try to keep the Sharpedo busy. Tops tries to get the Wailord to retaliate by poking it with a scythe, causing it to bounce into the sky and splash back into the sea.

Part 18: The Sea Queen

Bigmouth begins to get the advantage when Medulla provokes the Wailord to use Water Spout as Bigmouth is standing on the blowhole, sending him into the air. Medulla goes after him and hits him with an electric attack away from the Wailord so that she would not harm it. Bigmouth splashes back into the sea and flees, just as Neppietune chances to arrive. The Wailord's injures are healed, as it has already died once, and does not die until it has lived out its full life to the end. Medulla follows Neppietune to her temple, and prepares to enter the Electric Underworld to face Churzle, and perhaps other Pokemon whom Churzle has persuaded to his side.

Chapter 7: The Chase Begins

Part 19: The Tunnel Break-In

Medulla arrives at the Electirc Underworld, but finds things to be rather normal. An avalanche caused by the loud music of a hippie Pikachu, Colin, has blocked the path to Churzle's Temple, though. Medulla tries all her weapons to break in, but to no avail until Colin opens a path by using his loud music to vibrate the rocks free.

Part 20: Magnets Might

Churzle is relaxing in a hot tub in his temple when Medulla arrives, telling him the other sages know of his plan. Churzle flees and leads Medulla to a room where purple-pupilled Magnemite and Magneton attack her. Churzle then fled the Electric Underworld with the ray gun to go to the Grass Underworld. Medulla fought the Magnet Pokemon until Colin arrived and incapacitated the Magneton.

Part 21: Tron to the Moon 2: Tron Doesn't Appear

The roof of the cave falls apart and a massive Magnezone appears in the sky. Medulla and Colin work together to destroy it, and Medulla leaves to the Grass Underworld to chase after Churzle.

Chapter 8: In the Garden of… Stuff

Part 22: I Thought This Was Grass

When Medulla arrives in the Grass Underworld she finds it is horribly on fire. With all the Grass Pokemon panicking, Medulla uses Rain Dance to put out the fires. A Shiftry explains Churzle appeared and set all the trees on fire with Thunderbolts, then ran off to Villie's temple. Medulla goes off to Villie's temple to find if she is okay.

Part 23: The T(ree)ower With (Victree)Bellsprouts

Medulla arrives to a patch of flowers with flower-themed furniture, and sees Churzle holding Villie in a tree above. Churzle escapes to a large tree which Villie recognizes as Victreebel territory; Churzle has already convinced them to join him. Medulla arrives, but faces a large group of Victreebel; a Grovyle from earlier shows up to help her. As they beat back the Victreebel, Churzle decides to leave and teleports out of the underworld. During the fight a Victreebel grabs Medulla and prepares to eat her.

Part 24: Vegetarian Plants

Just before the Victreebel eats Medulla, a Carnivine appears and attacks the Victreebel. The two fight until the Carnivine eats the Victreebel; it reappears, as it was already dead, and the Carnivine eats the new Victreebel. This repeats until the Carnivine becomes so bloated it explodes; it then reappears as well and tries to resume eating the Victreebel. During this mess Medulla and the Grovyle reach Villie and escape back to her temple. Unsure of where Churzle went, Medulla decides to just continue forward and either find Churzle or reach the Steel Devil in the Steel Underworld. She moves on to the Ice Underworld.

Chapter 9: Frozen Fury

Part 25: 'Ice to Meet You

Medulla arrives in the Ice Underworld, a blanket of snow all around her. She sees a village of Sneasel and Weavile nearby and enters, but learns they were not informed of her coming. Medulla is led to the mayor, though the residents are suspicious; she meets with the mayor, Sneen, and explains about Churzle and her purpose there. Sneen decides to give her a map of the Ice Underworld, pointing out various villages and where Marswin's temple is, but warns her there's a thin frozen sea along the way that may shatter if she's not careful.

Part 26: And Now She's on an Ice Flow in the Middle of the Ice Underworld Somehow

As Medulla walks across the icy landscape, she begins to get chills and tries to use her flamethrower to warm the air around her, but finds it to be broken. She smacks it onto the ground in anger, causing the ice sea she's on to crack. The ice splits apart and she finds herself stranded in the middle of the sea, as Churzle and the Steel Devil watch this on satellite footage. However, a Lapras appears in the sea and offers to ferry Medulla to Marswin's temple.

Part 27: Sage Rage

Just as Medulla enters Marswin's temple she is slammed into the wall by Marswin, who doesn't believe Medulla about Churzle. Just as Marswin is about to finish her off, Villie interrupts the fight and tells Marswin what happened in the Grass Underworld. Marswin believes the account of a fellow sage, and allows Medulla passage to the next underworld.

Chapter 10: Playing With Poison

Part 28: A Breath of Fresh—A GRIMER AND A KIRLIA!?

Medulla arrives at the Poison Underworld, a vile wasteland of garbage and sludge and smog and industrial plants that looks like the Metal Army's type of place. As Medulla goes through the underworld she realizes she can't breathe due to all the smog and loses consciousness, having a dream about her life just before she was captured by Team Rocket. Medulla awakes and finds herself in a shack with an oxygen helmet on, given to her by a Grimer and a Kirlia; the Kirlia is also wearing an oxygen helmet, and explains that on occasion Pokemon not normally of an underworld's type is allowed to live there, such as the case of the Grimer and Kirlia who are in love. Gross.

Part 29: I Call it Pittsburgh!

Medulla finds Murk's temple and learns Churzle has not been seen around, so she prepares to go to the next underworld but finds out it was eaten by the world's largest Swalot. Medulla goes out to look for it and is brought by a Nidorino to a group of the Nidoran family; a Nidoking arrives to beat her up, but she freezes it with an Ice Beam gun and threatens the rest with a Psybeam gun. A female Nidoran shows her to the giant Swalot, its size towering over some of the buildings in the underworld. To get inside to the portal, Medulla disguises herself as a hamburger and the Swalot eats her.

Part 30: Chippy & Medulla: Swalot's Inside Story

Inside the Swalot, Medulla meets a leppa berry named Chippy. A tomato berry named Tom Ato appears and declares everything there to be its, including Medulla, and it attacked her with various berry-based weapons. During the fight a hippie van is knocked into the central stomach nerve and causes the Swalot to spew everything it had eaten out. Medulla falls into the portal leading to the next underworld.

Chapter 11: A Surprise Unearthed

Part 31: Ground Beef. Wait, There's No Beef.

Medulla arrives at the Ground Underworld and realizes she has not eaten for a considerable amount of time. At what looks like a desert outpost, Medulla goes to a restaurant and a Gligar takes her order, then points her to a green-quilled Sandslash who knows where Doug the sage is. The Sandslash sends Medulla to an Onix-shaped rock formation where a tremor begins.

Part 32: Some Kinda Prophecy

Groudon bursts up from the ground; it notices Medulla, and speaks with a cockney accent. It brings her to an underground cavern and directs her to a prophecy, the same prophecy that was written in the Ruins of Alph. There are also several drawings accompanying it, one of the seventeen sages with a Pachirisu in the center, another showing the seventeen underworlds in a circle and an arrow going through them to the Steel Underworld, with an X in it, then several humans with X's drawn through them and an image of Pokeworld with space around it and an arrow pointing from space to the planet. The final drawing is of a computer.

Part 33: Medulla's Part

Medulla returns to the outpost after learning Doug's temple was not where the Sandslash, Tig, had directed her, she demands it tell her where the sage is. Doug then appears, telling her he was the one to send her to the cavern. He brings her to his temple and explains the prophecy suggests a thread from space is involved in the prophecy, but as neither Churzle nor the Steel Devil are from space, it's a mystery and Medulla just continues on to the next underworld.

Chapter 12: Rocks. Just... That's All I Got.

Part 34: Aggravating Aggron

Medulla arrives in the Rock Underworld and finds an Aggron named Galdron has become enraged with a purple tint in his eyes. Medulla and the Rock-type Pokemon attempt to knock him out and succeed. When he awakes he has returned to normal; he says he got an excruciating headache and Medulla suggests that he was trying to block it out with physical pain. With Galdron's headache gone, Medulla prepares to enter the next underworld.

Part 35: Portal Snatcher

After pushing through a pile of fallen rocks that block the way to the temple, likely caused by Galdron's rampaging, they arrive to Shunnie's temple only to find Churzle holding the portal to the next underworld. He flees and Medulla gives chase; he traps her in a section of the cave and two paintings of a Solrock and Lunatone on the wall begin to glow.

Part 36: Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright Rock-Hard Slam Down!

A Lunatone and Solrock come out from the wall and attack Medulla. She destroys both of them, freeing her from the cave. She catches up to Churzle, and Galdron appears to attack Churzle, making him lose the portal. He escapes out of the underworld, and Medulla enters the portal to the next underworld.

Chapter 13: Bogged and Bugged Down

Part 37: Birds 'n' Bees and, Well, Just Bees

Medulla arrives in the Bug Underworld, a bog, and accidentally breaks a nest of Combee. The angry Combee chase her through the bog as she splashes about through the murky water. She meets a Parasect named Paafa who gives her a mushroom that she uses as a disguise to lead the Combee away, and then Paafa leads her to Yana's temple.

Part 38: Weirdest Hobby Ever

Medulla arrives at Yana's temple, a broken-down laboratory she calls a templatory. It is eerily empty, with everything shattered and broken; as Medulla looks through the templatory Yana appears and surprises her. She prepares to leave the underworld when Medulla stumbles upon a secret room of Yana's filled with humans in large canisters. Yana proclaims that just as some humans are bug catches, she's a human catcher. Just as they're discussing this a PDF soldier breaks out of one of the canisters and tries to free all the humans

Part 39: The Human Problem

The PDF soldier fires his lasgun at Medulla and Yana, who hide behind the bookshelf. They realize the PDF soldier may be trying to break open the canisters and they go out to stop him. Medulla paralyzes him, but tells Yana she should let the humans go. Yana says she can't; the humans she has are dead. She explains that when humans die on Pokeworld, they are unable to go to any of the 17 underworlds and instead float about in limbo until they fade away or she catches them and brings them there. She puts the soldier in a new canister and sends Medulla off to the next underworld.

Regi Quiz 98

"QUESTION 1: YOU ARE A BULBASAUR! YOU ENTER A FIGHT AGAINST A WEEDLE! DO YOU USE VINE WHIP, POISONPOWDER, GROWTH, OR SYNTHESIS!?”
“All four of those attacks are at a disadvantage. Vine Whip is exceedingly weak against a Weedle, Poisonpowder would not affect it, Growth increases Special Attack, but as Vine Whip is a physical attack, it is useless, and Synthesis depends on the Bulbasaur's hit points. In the end, Vine Whip is the only true choice.”

"QUESTION 2: WHAT IS THE AVERAGE WEIGHT OF A STANTLER!?”
“Seventy-one point two one four zero zero two zero nine.”
“...ENGLISH SYSTEM PLEASE!”
“One hundred fifty-seven pounds.”

"QUESTION 3: WHAT POKEMON EVOLVE VIA A MOON STONE!?”
“Skitty, Clefairy, Nidorina, Nidorino, and Jigglypuff.”

"QUESTION 4: NAME THE NEXT 5 PRIME NUMBERS AFTER 37!?”
“41, 43, 47, 53, and 59."

"QUESTION 5: WHAT DOES DEFENSTRATION MEAN!?”
“The act of ejecting out a window.”

"QUESTION 6: WHAT POKEMON LEARNS AEROBLAST!?”
“Lugia, or a Smeargle after using Sketch.”

"QUESTION 7: WHAT IS 6076 DIVIDED BY 62!?”
“Ninety-eight.”

"FINAL QUESTION: WHO ARE DONALD DUCK'S TWO UNCLES?”
Although the correct answer is Scrooge McDuck and Ludwig Von Drake, Medulla did not get the question right.

Trivia

• The title of this story is a reference to a phrase from a Bible proverb, which was then used as the title of a play: Inherit the Wind.
• The original prophecy is a reference to Sub's stuff about humans being wiped out and leading to Yoki Yoki or something.
• Davie Numberm'n is a parody of David Letterman, with the name being a joke on what Duth calls FF sometimes, "Numberm'n."
• Medulla makes reference to meeting "another one of [Team Rocket's] experiments," Danny. She says she "was most likely their only success."
• Another Steel Devil appeared in Pokemon Platinum 3, this one a Heatran. Because the Steel Devil is destroyed in this story, and the Heatran that appeared was of the future, it's possible that the Metagross Steel Devil is later replaced with a Heatran one.
• Vire was originally a character in Yoki Yoki; the tale she tells Medulla is very similar to what Vire did in Yoki Yoki.
• Muza mentions a "cyborg Hitmontop" a reference to Opt.
• Tops appearing in the Water Underworld is a reference to his dropping-off as a character, as a sort of death in not being used anymore.
• Part 21: Tron to the Moon 2: Tron Doesn't Appear is a reference to a very short-lived RP SZM did titled Tron to the Moon, in which Tron expanded into a planet-sized Magnezone and people lived on it.
• Part 26: And Now She's on an Ice Flow in the Middle of the Ice Underworld Somehow is a reference to the Homestar Runner cartoon "Best Caper Ever" in which Homestar is somehow led onto "a tiny ice floe in the middle of the Arctic somehow." Apparently Duth did not know how to spell floe, and did not bother to look up the quote.
• Part 30: Chippy & Medulla: Swalot's Inside Story is a reference to the game Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Chippy is a character from the game, and several references are made to the character throughout the chapter.
