Okay, due to the fact that I am still paranoid that someone is going to lob a grenade at me over what happened last chapter, I will not say where my location is. However, I managed to grab my laptop, so here is the next chapter. Hopefully, it will appease some of you less-than-amused fans.

No, I don't own Pokemon. I wish I did, so that I could get Black and White earlier than all you other people.


"She saved us," Mew said with respect and awe. "She took her own life just to save us, and she barely even knows me."

"…Mommy?" Ralts said, in a voice inaudible to everyone around him, even Mew, who he still had curled up next to for protection.

Mewtwo raised an eyebrow, signaling that even he felt a little bit of respect for Gardevoir's sacrifice, but it quickly disappeared.

Gallade was oblivious to all three of them. He was too busy grieving over Gardevoir's death, kneeling down next to her body and starting to cry. Why, he thought, still crying. Why now, and why her? She was the one concerned that I would be the one coming home in a coffin, and now I've lost her! It's…it's…

"Humph," Mewtwo grunted, his respect for Gardevoir now gone. "How stupid. She only delayed the inevitable."

…Because of that STUPID MEWTWO! Gallade stopped crying as he realized the source of his loss. Mewtwo had the capability to stop his barrage of attacks, and did he? Not at all! As his want for vengeance grew, his eyes started to glow deep red, the color of the blood Mewtwo had spilled.

Mewtwo turned back to Ralts and Mew, who were trying to crawl away under the radar. "Now," he began, making the two freeze in their tracks as he charged up two more Shadow Ball attacks. "Where were we?"

Suddenly, a stray rock flying through the air blindsided Mewtwo, causing him to fly overtop of Ralts and Mew and crash into the cliff closest to Treasure Town, pinning him to the wall and harmlessly dispersing the two Shadow Balls into thin air. As he peeled himself off the wall, he heard something being thrown behind him. He turned around- just in time to see another rock plow into his face, smashing him back into the cliff. As the dust cleared, he opened his eyes, and saw where all the rocks were coming from.

Gallade, now seething with want of revenge, was hurling boulders as big as he was at Mewtwo like they were nothing but basketballs. When Gallade threw the next rock, though, Mewtwo had time to react, and deflected the rock safely into the ocean with Psychic.

"You…!" Gallade growled, fuming, his eyes glowing blood red. "You…! You… killed Gardevoir!" Gallade started marching toward Mewtwo as the cloned Pokemon was prying himself off the wall.

"So what?" Mewtwo said, in his now uninterested tone. "Get over it."

Gallade's want of revenge transformed into sheer rage at this comment, and dashed forward, catching Mewtwo in a chokehold with Psychic.

"You killed my love and you don't even care?" Gallade raged, his eyes glowing brighter than before. "How low can you go?"

"I wasn't… trying… to kill her…" Mewtwo said between gasps for breath. "I… was trying… to kill… the… little brat!"

That was it. The straw that broke the Camerupt's back. Gallade's hate of Mewtwo grew so intense, and so severe, that his eyes glowed blood red, fire orange, and sulfur yellow so it seemed that his eyes were actually on fire. He then tightened his psychic grip on Mewtwo's neck, causing the legendary Pokemon to start wheezing.

"THAT 'LITTLE BRAT' IS MY SON!" Gallade threatened, rage deep in his voice. Then his eyes narrowed to little slits, like an Arbok's, and he said, "By the time I'm done with you, you won't need to worry about destroying Mew. Know why?"

Mewtwo couldn't speak for lack of air, so just shook his head.

"Because I'm going to make sure that you NEVER LIVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN!" Gallade screamed in his face. With these words, Gallade flung him faster than a Ninjask flies straight at the rock cliff on the side where Gardevoir was, actually making Mewtwo shatter through a rock pillar, and impacted on the rock wall, embedding Mewtwo at least a foot into the cliff's face. Then, he used another Psychic to pull Mewtwo back towards him, and a split second before they collided, caught Mewtwo straight in the face with a Slash, sending the legendary down to the ground.

When the dust cleared, Gallade was standing over top of Mewtwo, his bladed arms extended to their full, lethal length, with blood already staining their green edges wine red. Mewtwo had a gash over his left eye where the Slash had impacted, and if he hadn't closed his eyes at the time, he would've lost his eye completely.

"Get up!" Gallade barked. "I ain't through with you!"

Instead of getting up, Mewtwo instead sucker punched Gallade with a Psychic, causing Gallade to be in the position that Mewtwo was originally in.

"THAT'S IT!" Mewtwo raged, infuriated. "NOBODY STRIKE ME AND LIVES TO TELL ABOUT IT!" He charged up a Hyper Beam attack to destroy Gallade once and for all. "NO ONE ON THIS BEACH IS GETTING OUT ALIVE, TODAY!" Mewtwo lowered his voice to a whisper. "And that includes your 'precious' son, too."

"No…" Gallade mumbled, not able to get up.

"No last words?" Mewtwo said; the same sinister smile on his face he had right before he killed Gardevoir. "A gentleman to the end. How noble."

Suddenly, Mewtwo's Hyper Beam attack just seemed to fizzle out.

"What the…" Mewtwo said, noticing that he wasn't able to charge another move in its place. Then, all of a sudden, Mewtwo was wracked with a terrible headache, one that would make a Psyduck cringe.

"Gahhhhhhh!" Mewtwo screamed; his head feeling like it was about to explode. "What in blazes is…!"

He stopped the sentence short when he realized the cause of the two problems.

Ralts.


Ralts had used Disable on Mewtwo to disable his Hyper Beam, and was now attacking him with a Confusion attack with all the strength he had in his little body, an angry scowl on his usually happy face.

"Get away from my dad, you murderer!" Ralts yelled, as if to avenge his mother's death.

"Ralts!" Gallade said, trying to tell him that he should run. But he didn't. He realized that his son was trying to help him defeat Mewtwo, and didn't waste any time getting up and blasting Mewtwo away with a powerful Psycho Cut, causing Mewtwo to fly over top of Ralts and land on the sand with a loud thud.

"Ralts!" Gallade said, charging the now downed Mewtwo. "Get Mew!"

Ralts looked around. "He's gone!" he yelled in astonishment.

Meanwhile, Mewtwo had caught Gallade with a Shadow Ball attack, causing him to fly backward into the wall. Mewtwo's victory didn't last long though, as an invisible attack knocked him off his feet.

Mew had snuck up on Mewtwo with Shadow Force, and then slammed Mewtwo in the head with an Iron Tail (being the ancestor of all Pokemon, Mew knew every move possible, and could use any of them at will).

"Take that!" Mew yelled, as Ralts smacked himself in the face with embarresment. All three of the Psychics crowded around the once-again downed Mewtwo, only to be blown away by a sneaky Dark Pulse attack, sending Gallade flying into a rock, giving him a mild concussion.

However, Mewtwo barely had time to get up off the ground before being pummeled by Gallade with Close Combat, knocking Mewtwo near senseless. With his face lacerated, his body bruised and cut, and his arms and legs beaten and sore, Mewtwo knew he had to destroy Gallade soon, or else he would collapse from sheer exhaustion.

"This is much more difficult than I imagined it would be," Mewtwo moaned, clutching his bruised and sore chest.

Gallade laughed. "It ain't over yet," he intimidated. Mewtwo responded with a flurry of Shadow Ball attacks, forcing Gallade to counter them with Psycho Cut. Mewtwo saw his chance, and rushed in to nail Gallade with Drain Punch, thus refreshing his energy a bit.

Ralts then stepped in and started to wave his hands in the air, causing two greenish Psycho Cut-like scythes to appear in midair. Driven by some unknown force, he the flipped both of his arms out forward, causing multiple scythes to magically appear from the first two, like they were copying themselves. Mewtwo tried to dodge, but to no avail, as the scythes just seemed to home in on him, and struck him like a storm of knives.

"Sweet!" Ralts said, surprised at his own power. "I think I just learned Magical Leaf!"

Gallade was too busy pummeling Mewtwo with another Close Combat to care at the moment. After knocking Mewtwo to the ground for the umpteenth time, Gallade's rage was starting to fade, and his fatigue was starting to show.

Mewtwo noticed this, and took a pot shot at him with Drain Punch. However, the attack fizzled out before impact (courtesy of Ralts' Disable), causing Mewtwo to just sprain his hand on impact. Gallade then picked up Mewtwo with Psychic again, and for the first time, noticed that Mewtwo was absolutely terrified.

"Please!" Mewtwo screamed. "Don't choke me again!"

Gallade chuckled, possibly mocking Mewtwo's sinister laugh. "You WISH I was going to choke you," he said, his voice down to a barely audible whisper.

He then flung Mewtwo into one of the cliffs, letting him receive the full impact, before doing the same with the opposite cliff, and again with a third cliff, before yanking Mewtwo (who was now barely conscious) back toward him, letting Mew strike him with an uppercut-like Iron Tail. Gallade then felt himself being filled with some sort of primordial energy, and without fully recognizing it, he leapt up into the air, charging up a Slash attack for the final blow.

But something about this move was different. Instead of gaining a white glow on his blade, it began to glow in multiple colors, changing and shifting. As he reached Mewtwo in the air, something took over him, causing him to swing his arm-blade around so fast that it would make a Ninjask's head spin, and gashed not only Mewtwo, but space itself. This caused Mewtwo to be sucked into the void, which then closed in a blinding explosion of light.

As Gallade landed, the energy he had obtained left him, causing him to collapse onto the ground.

He said four words before he blacked out. "Goodbye, and good riddance."


Okay, did that settle the score that Gallade had with Mewtwo or what? (Please don't say "or what" out of sarcasm. That's MY line.)

And NO, Gallade is NOT dead. He's just out of energy to fight: you know, like what happens in the games when the Pokemon run out of HP. That's why I said "blacked out".

The next chapter is what I call the "make it or break it" chapter. The event that happens in Chapter 4 will decide the fate of the timeline itself, and, let me tell you, it is NOT going to be a bust.

Review! So that I can tell whether or not I can come out of hiding or not! Seriously, it's kinda scary in here! And dark!
