Soon the smile on her face gew bigger seeing the old debilitated pokecenter. Maybe two hundred yards more and she would be safe. The pokecenter wasn't the only reason for the smile. She had always got a thrill out of being in dangerous situations. Another fifty yards closer, she was almost there. She could begin to feel the odd sinsation in the air her barrier gave off.
As she passed another tree she was stopped dead in her tracks. What air was left was forced from her lungs, as well as some blood. A look down revealed a large branch had been slammed into her stomache. Lizzy took a step back holding her stomache as a Rocket grunt that seemed very familiar to her stepped out.
As Lizzy fell watching the grun step closer she heard a low buzzing sound. The grunt stopped in his tracks as a number of stingers shot in to the ground close to his feet. Both people looked up to see Henry, Lizzy's Beedrill hovering in the air glaring the grunt. Lizzy could only smile seeing her trusted pokemon coming to her rescue. As she stared at the Beedrill the grunt let fell over over. She quickly glanced over seeing Laffeye, her Haunter phasing through a tree.
They weren't the only ones there. Lizzy's Mismagius, Katherine appeared at her side. She reached down helping Lizzy to her feet. "Thanks all you." Lizzy spoke as she leaned against Katherine for support. The very small victory was shorted live when they all spotted something else infront of them. Lizzy could only tell it was a pokemon, but not what kind. All she could see was a large black area made up of swirling shadows.
"How is that possible?" Lizzy asked allowed. She had never seen a pokemon who's soul was as damaged as the one infront of her. "Get back!" Was all Lizzy got out before there was a bright flash of purple light, forcing her to shield her eyes. Once they were open she saw her Haunter and Beedrill laying on the ground. "How?"
Lizzy quickly noticed purple sparks dancing around inside the shadows, meaning the pokemon was going for another attack. Her eyes closed tightly bracing for the flash and impact. There was a loud explosion and nothing else. Slowly Lizzy opened one eye seeing what happened. "Rogers!" Lizzy squealed seeing her Wynaut standing infront of her. "Good job Rogers." The small pokemon let out a loud cry followed by what seemed like a laugh. They both watched as the pokemon stood as if nothing had happened.
Slowly a large purple aura started forming around the pokemon. Wynaut turned to Lizzy giving her a large smile. It let out a cheerful cry as it's body started to be taken over by a white aura. "Rogers don't!" Lizzy shouted seeing a white Aura starting to form around the other pokemon. The Wynaut jumped up and down letting out another cheerful cry followed by a laugh. Lizzy's closed her eyes tights seeing the sparks dancing wildly around the pokemon again. "You better survive you goofy bastard." Lizzy spoke allowed before the blinding flash of light.
Once it had time to die down, Lizzy opened her eyes again. Seeing her Wynaut laying on the ground caused her legs to loose all their strength. She fell to her knees scooping the Wynaut into her arms. She bought the head up to her lips giving it a small kiss, before speaking softly. "Thank you. I promise..." The woman's words were cut off, hearing a low growl. Her eyes shot open in fear seeing the pokemon standing in the very spot as before.
"How!" Lizzy screamed. "Destiny Bond should have taken you out!" There was odd sound from the pokemon almost as if it were laughing at her. "I swear I'll make you Pay!" Lizzy cried out in anger. In responce the pokemon sent out the the lightening like sparks flying towards the girl. The bright purple was the last thing Lizzy saw before everything went black.
Lizzy let out a painful moan as she began to wake up and regain the feeling in her body. The first thing she noticed was the uncomfortable cot she was laying on. Nothing but a flimsy piece of mattress thrown over some springs that had out lived their life. She gently placed her arm over her face hoping to provice some comfort to herself. Slowly Lizzy tried to piece together what had happened to her. The last thing she could recall was the pokemon, or at least what she believed was a pokemon. The only thing she could make out was the dead black smoke that was it's damaged soul. Never had she ever seen a pokemon in such horrible condition.
After the creature, her thoughts began shifting to her own pokemon, Henry, Laffeye, and Rogers. She prayed they had all managed to survive and were all safe. Escpially Rogers. He gave his life to save her. Only he would so something like that while keeping a smile on his face. "So stupid" Lizzy whispered as a single tear managed to escape her eyes. How could he have done something so wreckless?
After she spoke, Lizzy was greeted by a male voice speaking just above a whisper. "Glad you're awake." Lizzy grumbled as she rolled over on her side. She began to open her eyes slowly brasing herself for any discomfort. Luckily the room was barely lit, providing no harm to her eyes. "Take a few minutes to collect yourself. I gotta take you to see the boss. He'll explain everything."
Lizzy struggled to force herself up in a siting position. She slowly shook her head getting her thoughts together. If she was going to meet the boss she had to at least be half way on her game. She gave a smile and stood from her cot speaking in a joyful voice. "We can't keep him waiting, let's go."
A few minutes later Lizzy was taken into a rather large room. Which didn't seem much more different from her cell. It's only larger and had a long table in the center with a chair on each end. It was looking like something she wouldn't mind calling home herself. No question it was one of the old bases used by Magma or Aqua during their attempt at destroying the world. Lizzy glanced around once more before walking over and taking a seat in the closet chair.
Almost of a person was waiting for her sit, there came a male voice. "Lizzy, I'm so glad you could make it." The voice was all Lizzy needed to know who it was speaking to her. "Or perhaps you would preferre I call you Ms..."
"Say it and I'll personally make sure you're my next patient... Giovanni!" Lizzy gave a sly smirk at the last word. Crossing her arms under her chest she watched as the man named came into the light and took a seat. "I gotta say. I never would have thought Jenny and the others would have gotten you so bad. This place is so below you."
Giovanni gave a sly smirk at Lizzy's remark. He knew she was gonna try her best to get to him, like all the others. "It's not much, but I assure you it is in far better shape than what you used to call home."
Depsite her control, Lizzy's eyes shot open in fear and panic. He wouldn't have gone so far as to destor the pokemoncenter. At least she hoped not. "Cut the crap Geo, why am I here and what have you done to my darlings?"
Giovanni smiled seeing he had touched one of her nerves. "Your pokemon are safe for the time being." Giovanni calmy rose from the table, hit a small button on a panel Lizzy failed to mention. Doing so caused a screen to lower from the cieling. Once it came on Lizzy saw the pokemon from before, only this time she was able to clearly see it. The pokemon was covered in metal suit with tubes and wires running all through it. "You're staring at the most powerful pokemon known to man. Created from dna of mew himself. I call him Mewtwo."
Lizzy couldn't stop herself from slowly raising from her seat, as Giovanni continued. "There's only one problem, I lack full control. You are just the person to help me. I know your special talent, as you far to aware of. All those years I spent time and money covering it all up for you. Now is the time for you to repay your dept."
"There is no dept!" Lizzy quick shot back, her voice full of anger. "You were only covering your own ass! All those experiments were for your own fucked up ego! If you think I'm helping you forget it!"
Giovanni stood staring at the screen for a moment before turning back to the table. "I know you Lizzy. You were practically drooling from the mouth when you saw how corrupted his soul was. You can't tell me that there is one part of your being that doesn't want to take that pokemon apart." Lizzy glanced back at the screen to the pokemon. Giovanna was right. She had always dreamed of running across a pokemon who soul was so badly damaged. Part of her wanted to strap it to an operating table and start digging it. Still she wasn't interested in doing it for something as evil as Giovanni would dream up. Her only interest would be to repair the sould of the pokemon, not corrupt it even more.
Lizzy gave a smile staring the man in the eyes. "Not one part. I would much rather experiment on you instead. So before I give in to temptions I'm taking my leave."
"You wouldn't dream of leaving without your darlings would you?" Giovanni added getting a stunned look from Lizzy. With a push of a button the screen went from Mewtwo to her own pokemon. Her Beedrill and Wynaut locked in cells, and her Mismagius and Haunter contained in some kind of tubes. "You can leave if you want, but your pokemon stay. After all our scientist need some practice to be able to do your kind of work."
"You bastard!" Lizzy screamed drawing her fist back charging at the man. She made it about three feet from the man before her body was slammed to the floor. Giovanni's persian stood above Lizzy pinning her shoulders to the floor. The pokemon released a loud hiss showing it's teeth to the woman. "Get this stray of pokemon off me!" The words only caused the pokemon to force one of claws out slowly digging into Lizzy's shoulder. Lizzy just gritted her teeth try her best not to scream.
"Enough Persian." Giovanni spoke, causing the pokemon to step off Lizzy. In a very calm manner the pokemon walked over taking a seat at Giovanni's side. "I'll give you a day to think things over. For every day I don't get an answer, one of your pokemon will pay the price."
"You wouldn't!" Lizzy shot back.
Giovanna just ignored her can called out. "Guard! Escort Lizzy back to her cell!" That was all Lizzy got from the man before he walk towards the back. As he neared the wall a secret door revealed it's self. Before closing it, he turned and gave Lizzy one last smirk. "I suggest you think very hard."
