Chapter 10

I couldn't hide the tiniest smile I had; everything was moving as planned. Not only had I captured Mew, but when I returned to the base in Cerulean Cave, I'd learned that Dr. Zastrow had managed to successfully clone Charizard. Charizardtwo, they called it, but I couldn't care less about its name, only that my vision was finally becoming reality. Yes, your dream.

Several weeks had passed since then. I'd ordered my slaves to build a large clone manufacturing plant on the island where I was cloned, knowing it wasn't being used. It was going well, construction was well underway, but I couldn't help but feel that time wasn't on my side.

Mew hadn't awoken since I defeated her, and I didn't know whether she was recovering from our fight or if she was trying to trick me. Still, it made me feel unnerved. I knew she couldn't do anything inside the little container she was housed. While her first container was destroyed when she escaped the Echo Nine base, there was another one lying in the pile of equipment I'd stolen. "A spare," Zastrow explained.

"How's construction coming?" I asked, directing my attention away from the sleeping Mew, facing the computer monitor. Zastrow had arrived at New Island to oversee the stages of construction; specifically, the cloning machines.

"Good, but with more hands we could have it done a lot sooner," Zastrow explained. "At this rate we'll be done in about three months."

"That's not good enough!" I growled. "We could be discovered by then, and all our research could be lost. It would take forever to start over!"

"I could have it done in a few weeks, but I would need double the personnel we have now," Zastrow stated, adjusting his goggles. "The cloning machinery can be completed quickly, but without the infrastructure to supply power, the machines wouldn't work. We were able to tap into the powerlines running to Cerulean City, in the cave. We can't do that here; we'll need an isolated, fully sustainable power source, and that takes time to build."

"A few weeks you say?" I smirked, remembering the large gathering of trainers in Cerulean City. "You'll have your workers soon, I think I know wher-"

The power in the cave suddenly cut off, ending my conversation with Zastrow. "What happened?" I asked a technician. She seemed to be as confused as I was, using a torch to fumble around the console.

"It appears we've lost our connection to the power grid, sir," she surmised. "It could have been caused by a Pokémon or…"

"…Or sabotage." My answer was correct when we heard an explosion at the entrance to the cave. "Grab everything you can carry, destroy everything else, we can't let them discover what we're planning."

"Yes, sir," the technician nodded, grabbing hold of a few people to direct them. "Make sure to leave nothing behind, we're abandoning to base…"

I didn't listen to the rest of her conversation, making my way towards the entrance. As I got closer I discovered several of my slaves, or grunts as I'd come to calling them, fighting Pokémon directed by Team Rocket.

I was furious that they had discovered me, but my grunts seemed to be holding their own with the cloned Pokémon they commanded. Brushing Team Rocket's Pokémon aside, I made my way outside the entrance of the cave, sensing a presence I hadn't in months.

"So, have you given up? Realised you can't escape us?" George, my 'hander', sneered, his scruffy grew beard reflecting the moonlight.

"No," I replied, summoning my psychic energy. "I came here to destroy you!" As I launched a multi-coloured beam of energy at him, he summoned several Pokémon, ordering them to block my attack.


Ugh; I was thrown back into the cave. These Pokémon were stronger than I'd thought. Not only had he brought psychic-types, but ghost and dark-type Pokémon as well. Alone, I could easily defeat them, but with them working together, I had to use different types of attacks.

I would summon a Psybeam, only to have one of the dark-types jump in front of it. It was the same with the other types. I knew I would eventually win, but these Pokémon were tiring me out faster than I'd thought.

But as the fight wore on, I felt a strange energy building inside me. It was the same feeling I felt in the mansion, and when I'd battled Mew. My power was growing exponentially, and I knew I would soon lose control.

Distracted for a moment, I felt the full force of a Dark Pulse hit me; throwing my back, coming to a halt on the ground. Looking up, I felt myself slowly lose control, staring at the container housing Mew.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes. They were glowing as she stared back at me, as if she knew what was happening to me. "Agamemnon."

I lost control.


A lot will be explained in the next chapter! Which I hope to have updated later tonight! If not tomorrow!
