Chapter 6: Ella vs Eliza. The finale
A/N: Enjoy! Last time, Eliza has shown herself to the trainers and Arcus that she is the greatest Pokemon master on Earth. Not agreeing to it, Corey and Fergus tried to attack her but she proved to be too superior to them. Meanwhile, Jewel had discovered that there was a cloning machine in the palace and also, she had earned herself an admirer who is Team Rocket's Meowth. Luckily, she had rejected him for an obvious reason. Now, Eliza has been challenged to a Pokemon battle. I do not own Pokemon but I own my OC and this story. Reminder: Arcus permanently telepathically talks to his Pokemon, family and friends. Names of characters: Arcus, Mega Absol(Angel), Blaziken(Torch), Swampert(Kippy), Persian(Ace), Servine(Lily), Kabutops(Shelly), Fearow(Spear), Ekans(Venom), Espeon(Jewel), Mew(Ella), Vaporeon(Aqua), Milotic(Venus), Flareon(Flo), Jolteon(Brie), Mewtwo(Eliza), Mightyena(Breeze), Shiny Lapras(Jade). Angel is permanently a Mega Absol.
Guest: Eliza won't die. She's Mewtwo! Of course nothing bad will happen to her...maybe.
As Eliza and her three Starter clones were on the other side of the court as the trainers and Arcus were on the other.
"Which of you will oppose me first?" Asked Eliza.
Bruteroot walked into the field and Corey said,"I underestimated you last time, but that won't happen again!" Eliza looked over to her Venusaur clone and it walked into the field.
As the two Venusaur got ready, Corey started first by saying,"Go, Bruteroot! Use Razor Leaf!" As leaves shot out from the sides of Venusaur, Eliza said,"Vine Whip." Her Venusaur's vines shot out to destroy the leaves. It's vines then continued to stretched further as they wrapped around Bruteroot. Venusaur then tossed Bruteroot way back to Corey.
Corey ran back over to Bruteroot and Neesha said,"It looks like I'm up. Go, Shellshocker." As Shellshocker ran up to the field, Eliza's Blastoise clone also ran up.
"Shellshocker, Hydro Pump!" Exclaimed Neesha. Eliza smirked and said,"Rapid Spin." As Shellshocker blasted water out of its cannons and Eliza's Blastoise clone leaped up and it started spinning, stopping the water from hurting it and it slammed into Shellshocker, dealing major damage as Shellshocker slammed into the wall that was very far away.
Arcus said,"Her clones are strong. Ash, do you think Charizard can handle her?" Ash said,"I'm not giving up. I'm sure Charizard can handle it." Charizard gave a roar as it flew into the field to challenge Eliza's Charizard clone.
Charizard started off with an early Flamethrower at the clone but it dodged by flying up into the air. As Charizard continued to Flamethrower, the clone dodged it many more times and it struck Charizard with headbutts. As Charizard charged into the clone, it dodged.
Misty asked,"Can't Charizard move any faster?" Arcus replied,"The clone's too fast for Charizard. It won't survive much longer in this battle.
As Charizard continued to use Flamethrower, the clone continued to dodge. The two continued to fly higher into the sky where they couldn't see anything.
Soon enough, the two came back down with the clone having total control of the battle as it grabbed onto Charizard, preparing a Seismic Toss attack. Eliza smirked and said,"Finish it."
Finally, the clone released Charizard as it flew back to Eliza's side while Charizard fainted.
As Ash ran over to Charizard, Eliza said,"As the victor, I now claim my prize...your Pokemon!" Sensing a terrible thing happening, Arcus opened up the Universal slots and he said,"Ace, Jewel, Growlithe, return back now. I have a bad feeling about what's going to happen." The three Pokemon nodded as they returned to their Universal balls.
Three unusual looking Pokeball materialized above Eliza as they flew over to the three Pokemon and absorbed them.
Misty asked,"What are you going to do with those Pokemon?" Eliza replied,"I will extract their DNA to make clones for myself. They will remain safe on this island with me while my storm destroys the planet." More of the unusual Pokeballs materialized.
Brock exclaimed,"You can't do this! What about your mate?" Eliza replied,"He's already on this planet with us. So I have no need to worry about him. Do not attempt to defy me." As she lifted Ash up with Confusion, she tossed him at Brock, knocking them both down. Eliza exclaimed,"This world belongs to me and my mate now!"
As the unusual Pokeballs all flew in every directions. The trainers were all soon running back to the palace with their Pokemon following them while Arcus stood his ground as the Pokeballs all flew by him.
"Eliza, please stop this. You didn't have to go through all this trouble just to get rid of humanity. You still have my planet." Eliza said,"I know. But I can't stand humans at all. They have to pay for what they've done."
One of Eliza's Pokeballs absorbed Fergus Gyarados and it flew down a column that opened up. Before the rest of the Pokemon could figure out what was going on, they themselves were absorbed into Eliza's Pokeballs and were heading down the column as well.
Not able to handle the stress, Arcus quickly ran after the Pokeballs and he jumped into the column as he was traveling down a slide. Along the way, Arcus called out Jewel and asked,"Jewel, are we heading for the cloning machine room you were talking about?" Jewel's ruby flashed and she nodded. Arcus quickly hugged her tightly as they dropped down into the room.
When Arcus looked up, he saw the surprised faces of the three agents and he said,"I don't have time for the three of you!" He got off the conveyor belt and he let go of Jewel. Meowth asked,"Sir, is that Pokemon yours?" Arcus nodded and said,"Now's not the time. We have to disable that machine!"
Just then, Ash came down as well and Jessie said,"Look there! it's the twerp!" Ash got up and said,"I don't have time for your stupid motto!" As he dived into the machine, Arcus said,"Jewel, use Psybeam now!" Jewel nodded as she fired a colorful beam out of her ruby but it was too late, the machine had gotten Pikachu's DNA and it had created his clone.
As Ash got out of the machine, Arcus said,"Ash, you're alright." The clones all came out of the pods and they headed out of the room as Jessie said,"They're fabulous clones." Ash asked,"But where are the real ones?" Arcus said,"Jewel, Confusion!" Jewel's ruby was soon glowing brightly as she levitated out all of Eliza's Pokeballs out of the machine as it exploded.
The real Pokemon all emerged from the Pokeballs and Arcus said,"Here are the real ones." Two Pokeballs landed next to Arcus and two normal looking Pokeballs emerged from them as Ash's Squirtle and Bulbasaur emerged from them and they ran over to hug Ash as their Pokeballs flew back to him.
Arcus petted Jewel's head and said,"You were great, Jewel. Those Pokemon wouldn't be freed if it weren't for you." Jewel blushed at the comment and said,'But it was thanks to you that I am even here. You brought me along for this trip and I was actually useful for you." Arcus smiled as he hugged her.
Back in the stadium, Eliza and her three Starter clones had cornered the trainers and Nurse Joy.
"Humans, you have served my purpose. I am sparring your lives, for the moment," said Eliza as her eyes flashed and the doors around the stadium opened up and it showed the outside of the palace where they could see the storm growing. Eliza continued,"But you cannot escape your fates. I'll be sure to tell my mate of your last few words."
Corey demanded,"Alright! I had enough! What Pokemon is your mate?!" Eliza rolled her eyes in annoyance and said,"Since he isn't here right now. I might as well say so. Arcus is my mate."
Her last few words shocked all of them and Neesha exclaimed,"No way! That Legendary Pokemon would never love a Pokemon like you!" Eliza replied,"Believe it or not, human. He loves me and I love him. He trained me day and night to perfect my attacks and our bond grows each day even when we are separated. I'm doing this for him because I want to get rid of humans who want to use his powers for evil."
Brock asked,"Who would want to use his powers for evil?" Eliza replied,"The same organization who created me, Team Rocket. They were the ones who created me to serve them but Arcus, he disguised himself as a human where he met me. After our first battle, I fell in love with him and he did the same. For the next few days, we trained together and our relationship grew stronger. But it was a sad thing too because he couldn't do anything suspicious to alert them."
Fergus asked,"Then why don't you get rid of them instead?" Eliza replied,"Why should I when I can get rid of all humanity for what they've done to him." Misty asked,"What did we do?" Eliza said,"Do not think I've never watched the Pokemon League. I saw how much trouble you humans have caused him and even destroying his voice."
Neesha said,"Wait. But that was Aaron, the Kanto Pokemon champion." Eliza replied,"But you don't know the full story. Arcus's human disguise's name is call Aaron. He used his disguise to hide from trainers who want to catch him." Neesha said,"So I was talking to the Pokemon I had wanted to capture for so long?" Eliza said,"Continuing my story, a few months before the League, Arcus had to leave me because he had to train. before he left, he told me that he would be back for me but if I ever escaped Team Rocket, he told me that he will be waiting for me while I have my last freedom on Earth. But after what the leader of Team Rocket said about him, I decided to destroy all of humanity."
In the main room, a door was blasted opened and the cloned Pokemon all ran out to join Eliza.
As they stood by her, she said,"With Pokemon and humans eliminated, Arcus and I can live here peacefully without any disturbance and the clones shall inherit the world."
They soon heard Ash's voice saying,"You can't do this. I won't let you." Turning back, they all saw Ash walking out of the door with the real Pokemon and Arcus.
As they all headed over to the stadium, Eliza said,"It's useless to challenge me." Ash said,"It's not going to end like this, Mewtwo. We won't let you!" Turning his hat backwards, Ash quickly charged straight at Eliza.
When he tried to land a blow on her, Eliza stopped his fist with her Confusion attack and she knocked him back down. Arcus quickly ran over and he caught Ash just in time as he got up and ran back to hit Eliza but this time, she tossed Ash all the way up into the highest point of the palace.
But just as Ash was about to hit the hard rock surface, a pink bubble appeared and it saved Ash. Confused, Eliza said,"What's going on now?"
Ella soon appeared in front of Ash and she popped the bubble, making Ash fall. Ella giggled at the boy and Eliza said,"Can it be..." Ella created another bubble and she started bouncing on it but Eliza launched a Shadow Ball at Ella, missing it as it destroyed the bubble.
Creating another Shadow Ball, Eliza launched it again at Ella and she dodged it. Eliza created many more Shadow Balls as she launched each of them at Ella, who dodged them using Teleport and she giggled at how much fun it was.
Brock asked,"What is that?" Arcus walked over to him and replied,"That's Mew. Or should I say Ella." Misty said,"Wait, Arcus, I thought Ella was an Oddish that you had." Arcus shook his head and said,"Ella used an Oddish as her disguise. She is indeed Mew." Neesha glared at him and said,"You better have a good reason why I shouldn't be catching you right now." Arcus replied,"Because I am the only one who can talk some sense into Eliza."
Misty asked,"Eliza?" Arcus replied,"That's the name I gave Mewtwo. But now, the original and the clone are battling so we have no choice but to watch."
Ella flew down to meet Eliza's eye as she said,"Mew, so we finally meet." Ella hen started fooling around as Eliza continued,"I may have been cloned from your DNA, but now I will prove that I'm better than you." Ella finally stopped fooling around and Neesha said,'So Mewtwo was cloned from Mew." Arcus said,"That's me to blame."
The trainers and Nurse Joy looked at Arcus with confused looks and Misty asked,"Why is it that we have to blame you?" Arcus replied,"Because a year ago, Team Rocket had made a expedition to find a fossil of a Mew. I was part of the expedition as the only one with Pokemon. Along the way, I have been hearing giggling every minute and during the first night of that expedition, I met a Mew, who was Ella. The next day, the expedition had made it to the location of an ancient civilization where many Mew once lived."
He looked over at Ella and continued,"The expedition had only managed to dig up fossils of common Pokemon that are found during this time period but then that night, Ella was attacked by a flock of Spearow and Beedrill and I went to save her. After that, I finally evolved and Ella joined my family as my second mate. A few hours after that, Ella cloned a fossil of her hand and she gave it to me. In the morning when all the scientists have woken up, I gave them the fossil and then they started creating Eliza."
Eliza continued,"This world is too small for two of us." As she used her Psychic to fly up, she started chasing Ella around the place and she started blasting her with Shadow Ball. Eliza asked,"Why do you flee from me? Are you afraid to find out which of us is greater?" As they continued to chase each other, Eliza finally managed to hit Ella with her Shadow Ball, sending Ella into the sky.
Arcus stared in horror as he watched Ella being shot into the sky but another Shadow Ball was shot down and it hit Eliza on its first attempt. Ella flew back down to the stadium and Eliza got up and said,"So you do have some fight in you. But I have no time for games. Destiny is at hand. So, who will rule, my clones or your Pokemon? We were created with powers far stronger than the originals."
Ella then said,"You're wrong, Eliza. You don't prove anything by showing off a lot of special powers, a Pokemon's real strength comes from the heart." Arcus smiled at Ella's words and Eliza said,"My clones don't need their powers to prove their worth." She fired another Shadow Ball at Ella but she dodged it and it hit the top of the palace, where Ash was on.
As Ash was almost falling, Arcus quickly flared out his wings, surprising the three Pokemon trainers that he had met as his wrist blades appeared next before he reverted into a Pokemon. He quickly took to the sky as he quickly grabbed Ash and he flew back down to the ground where he placed him down.
Neesha gazed at Arcus and said,"I can't believe you look more magnificent up close than on T.V." Arcus replied,"The T.V doesn't capture most of me but you can see how I am in real life."
Eliza said,"I'll block all the Pokemon special abilities using my Psychic powers. Now we shall see who triumphs." As the clones all charged, the real Pokemon all did the same, all except Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Squirtle.
As the battle broke out, a tear fell down Arcus's cheek as he said,"This is not what I want at all. Pokemon should not be fighting. They should be friends with each other. That is what I ever wanted in life."
Ella was then engulfed in a giant pink sphere while Eliza was engulfed in a giant blue sphere and they collided multiple times with each other.
As the battle became more intense, the Pokemon and their clones were getting more tired at every attack they made. Nurse Joy said,"Pokemon aren't meant to fight. Not like this. What can come out of it?" Neesha replied,"Nothing...but pain." Brock said,"Why can't Eliza understand it's not right to force Pokemon to battle this way?" Arcus said,"I must have trained her too well that she thought that battling should be like this." Misty said,"Yeah. This just proves that fighting is wrong."
Ella and Eliza were still in midair battling each other, they slowly descended down back to the stadium.
Ash said,"We got to stop this!" Brock said,"But how? All Eliza cares about is to make this world peaceful for Arcus and herself and for the clones to have this planet to themselves." Nurse Joy said,"I'd rather risk my life out in Eliza's storm then watch these Pokemon destroy each other. I wish there was some way to stop them." Arcus wiped away his tears and said,"There is a way."
The four of them looked at Arcus and Ash asked,"What is it?" Hesitantly, Arcus materialized six Universal balls and he handed them over to Ash as he said,"The only way to stop them is for me to die." Several Plates emerged from Arcus's chest and they fell onto the ground. Arcus continued,"Without my Plates, I am no longer immune to any attacks. I am but a Normal type Pokemon now. Ash, go to the Hoenn region and give Lucy my regards and my Pokemon. This may be our last time seeing each other."
Before anyone could stop Arcus, Ella and Eliza slammed into the ground and they both went the opposite ways from each other. A pink aura surrounded Ella while a blue aura surrounded Eliza.
Another tear fell down Arcus's cheek and he said,"Goodbye...tell the girls that I will miss them." Without another word, Arcus ran straight for the two.
"Stop this right now!" Exclaimed Arcus as he stopped in between the two. But before they could hear him, they fired their Psybeam at Arcus.
As the two beams hit, they immediately stopped and they exclaimed in unison,"No!"
The six Universal balls in Ash's hands split opened and the six Pokemon all emerged from them. At the sight of the Plates on the ground, they knew something wrong has happened to Arcus.
Angel was the first to react as she ran over to Arcus and the rest followed.
Looking up at Angel, Arcus smiled weakly and said,"Sorry, Angel. But I had to do this to stop Ella's and Eliza's..." Before Arcus could finish, he was turned to solid rock in front of their very eyes.
Ella and Eliza quickly flew over to Arcus and Eliza said,"So is this what comes out of our battle. The lost of our mate..." Tears ran down Angel's eyes as she exclaimed,"Then why did you have to do all this?! You could have just find Arcus and he would have sent you to our planet where you could have do anything you want! But now, you just started a battle which ended in Arcus's death."
Crying, Ella said,"I should have never even fire a Shadow Ball back at you, Eliza. If I didn't Arcus would have still been alive."
Very soon, all the Pokemon and the clones were crying as well after they just realized Arcus had sacrificed himself for their safety. But something happened.
The tears of the Pokemon and clones came together and Arcus's solid rocked body absorbed them as the Plates levitated off the ground and swirled around Arcus's body.
Not long, the ears of Angel, Jewel, Aqua, Lily, Torch, Growlithe, Ella and Eliza were absorbed into his body and he was glowing brightly afterwards.
They all backed away a few steps as Arcus stood up again. The Plates were absorbed into his body again and they saw that his silhouette was changing.(A/N: *Cheering* Arcus is evolving!)
They saw that his wrist blades were no longer there but sharp claws matching a Weavile replaced it. As the glow was gone, they saw that his body was covered with a metal coating on his body. The edges on his wings sharpened and feet had flames erupting from it. Two red scars ran along his eyes and as he opened his eyes, his irises were both ruby-red. His entire body was a shiny bluish-green color as well.
He smiled at the girls as he hugged all of them and he said,"Thank you for finally realizing what was going on." The trainers and Nurse Joy all ran over to Arcus and Ash asked,"Arcus, how did you survive that?"
Arcus replied,"When all the Pokemon and clones realized what they were doing, my Plates were able to feel their emotions and that caused them to control their tears to be absorbed into me. That also caused me to evolve." He looked at the three trainers and said,"You three just witnessed the evolution of a Legendary Pokemon. How does it feel?"
Corey exclaimed,"It was awesome! I had no idea that even Legendary Pokemon can evolve!" Arcus smiled and the clones were then lifted into the sky by Eliza's Confusion.
Arcus asked,"Eliza, where are you going now?" Eliza smiled at him and said,"A place where the clones can live and where I can learn what I don't know. I promise you that I will find you when I learnt my lesson properly." As she flew away, Ella flew over to Arcus and hugged him. Arcus chuckled and said,"You did well, Ella. I'm proud of you."
He looked back at everyone and asked,"Now that you know my true identity, can I trust the four of you to keep my secret?" Corey, Neesha, Fergus and Nurse Joy nodded as Neesha's Rapidash walked up and nuzzled Arcus.
Neesha then said,"Oh yeah. Arcus, what about my Rapidash?" Arcus replied,"It's up to you, Neesha. You can either keep Rapidash with you, or you can let her stay with me, where she will received much care and love from me." Neesha looked over at her Rapidash and said,"I've known you for a long time, Rapidash. You were the third Pokemon I have ever caught. But if you want to be with him, you can. you'll always be my third Pokemon."
Rapidash nuzzled her as Neesha handed Rapidash's Pokeball to Arcus. He smiled and said,"Keep the Pokeball. I have an alternative." A Universal ball materialized in his hand and Rapidash was absorbed into it, followed by a successful capture.
He smiled at Neesha and said,"I promise you, Neesha. Rapidash is in good hands. Since I'm going to the Johto League, I'll be using her so be sure to watch your T.V." As his eyes flashed, he said,"I'll be teleporting all of you back to the time when you left Old Shore Wharf. You will keep your memories of what happened. But please, remember our promise."
Corey nodded and said,"Don't worry. We won't forget you. I'm still your biggest fan after all." Arcus nodded as the entire ground began to glow brightly as the glow stretched out to the trainers and Nurse Joy. Arcus looked at Ash and said,'I'll see you when you arrive at Johto."
As they were gone, Arcus smiled and said,"Girls, Ace, Growlithe, let's head home first to give the surprise." They all nodded as Arcus returned them to their Universal balls.
