Pokemon Universe: Viridian Forest

It was nightfall. Mewtwo, Pichu, and Roy were sitting by a bonfire sparked by Pichu and Roy. They were shaking not from the cold, but from rage.

"PICHU PICHU PI! Pichu Pichu Chu Pi Pi? (THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! How can the 3 of us not be in Brawl?)" Pichu exclaimed.

"I'm just as angry as you are, Pichu," said Roy," but there's nothing we can do about it now. And after Mewtwo's tirade in the conference room, I'm not sure we'll be back for any SSB game." He glared at Mewtwo as he said this. Mewtwo floated towards Roy and grabbed him by his uniform.

Do not say we had a chance to change things! We had more than enough opportunities to prove ourselves!" Mewtwo said slowly. But then he regained control of himself and released the swordsman. "All right, so I behaved inappropriately for a Pokemon of my knowledge—"

"Pichu Pichu Chu Pi? Pichu Pi Pichu Chu Pichu Pi Pi! (Inappropriately? You made us look like idiots in there!"

Mewtwo stared Pichu down. Pichu reluctantly shut up. "The Hands have gone too far. They cannot and will not deny our greatness. They needed us, but they foolishly did not think that way. It is time we showed them who we truly are."

"Agreed," replied Roy.

"Pichu! (Same here!)" Pichu chimed in.

"It is so. Let us join together, fellow outcasts. Roy, you are a shamed and dishonored hero. Pichu, you are the quickest fighter I have ever seen. And I, Mewtwo, am the most powerful Pokemon in the world. We were denied by the greatest power in the all the known universe. It is time we took that power from those who dare to betray us. After that, we shall use that power to prove we are the mightiest beings of all. Seal the pact!"

"ROY!" Roy shoved his sword into the ground.

"PICHU!" Pichu jumped on the sword and used its Thunder attack.

"MEWTWO!" Mewtwo used Shadow Ball on the sparkling sword. The sword then flew back into Roy's hands. The shape where the sword was planted made a fascinating red, yellow and purple orb. The orb lifted into the sky, then exploded like a firework. The firework made the shape of a yellow bolt and a red sword making up an X. Surrounding that X was a purple star. It was the signal of an unholy alliance.

"WE ARE…………………..THE DENIED!!!!!!!!!"
