The shackles of obligation closed around them, the pillars of their region. Confounding, terrible power closed around Indigo Plateau, Evergrande City and Sinnoh's island of the Pokemon League. A summons was delivered to them, one that could not be delayed or disregarded. Mewtwo's teleport was near-instantaneous.
Thus were the Elite Trainers of the land called to meeting in Cerulean Cave.
On it's plateau the great mind sat, circled by the trainers. The cave was lit not through light but a psychic augmentation of the occupants: from within them he awoke a primal knowledge of the cave and from there the trainers projected their memories and imaginings, all of which were tainted a dim violet.
Elite Trainers, he began, addressing them through telepathy, our atmosphere has been breached by an invader.
Their minds projected onto his Reflect the viewpoint of the herald Pokemon, Absol, whose warning had flagged the disturbance that he and his companion already sensed. Rayquaza fired another dazzling beam from it's gaping mouth. As the invader repelled the attack with use of psychic powers, the view was magnified by Mewtwo. The speck became a shape that filled the mirror, a horribly familiar outline to the Elite Trainers of Hoenn.
Suddenly the vivid image flickered as a pink blur raced across it, casting a shadow to indicate that it was apart from the reflect.
Mew, be serious.
The ancient Pokemon giggled and fluttered, bright tail bobbing to and fro, over to a beautiful ruby-haired, bespectacled woman. Her glasses flashed and reflected light from who-knew-where, hiding her eyes. Squeaking, terrified, Mew shot over to Phoebe, her hotly pink flowers distinguishing her remarkably from the other trainers present. She received the creature more favourably and it settled around her shoulders, tail curling and uncurling, to listen.
"Who is the invader?" asked Lance, sweeping his cape as he gestured heroically, "my dragons and I will take him down!"
"And fly to the sky?" cut in the older ghost trainer, Agatha, with a biting sarcasm.
Deoxys.
"We've taken care of one before," volunteered the Hoenn's Elite dark Pokemon trainer excitedly, "we can do it again!"
"Only after we gave it exactly what it wanted. That thing went home of its own accord," said Drake.
Mewtwo raised a paw for calm but the Elite Trainers descended rapidly into heated discussion.
Trainers, please-- Elite Trainers, SILENCE!
The psychic yell froze the group. Lucien's glasses slipped down his nose but he too was paralysed with sudden fright, afraid to move or breathe for fear of the Great Mind's wrath.
Satisfied that they were willing to listen once more, Mewtwo continued.
I gathered you to discuss what is to be done about this invasion. You are the pillars of the lands and though Champions ebb and flow, you are constant. Of course you, Dragon-masters, would be able to ascend on the backs of your allies. It is not so simple for the others, though. I suggest, with the help of the Psychic-master Lucien, that we gather the most--
"Rayquaza is capable of destroying Deoxys," interrupted the hitherto silent Glacia, the other Ice-master of the Elite Trainers. Her voice garnered immediate attention, all eyes shifting to her.
"We know this, so there is no reason to act."
The Sky Guardian will only hold out for so long, said Mewtwo. It is, after all, still a Pokemon and like all of my brethren--
"And what would you know about being a Pokemon?" she cut in once more, "we humans created you, Mewtwo."
Teleportation this time was instantaneous, with no time for any of the Elite Trainers to react. Bruno, already seated, was the only one who did not collapse after the second psychic blast. Mewtwo looked to his organic prototype, Mew, in disgust.
I told the humans once that it is not who you are born that matters. It seems they have forgotten this. Mew, we Pokemon will not forget. Rouse our friends. We'll make a fight of this.
Spent at last, the Guardian of the sky gave a great, final roar as it plummeted to the sea. The Deoxys hastened after it, elongated body easily matching speed with Rayquaza. As the pair hit the sea, a hellish, dark substance engulfed both. A moment later, the Deoxys broke the surface once more and ascended.
Rayquaza did not stir. Mewtwo's reflect faded.
