Chapter twenty six: Friend and Foe (Act three- Choose your enemy)


PREVIOUSLY ON LEGENDARY PKMN…

-" Greetings one and all! My name is Notabsolix!"-

-"I was your Starter Pokémon! You were supposed to be my Trainer!"-

-"RUUUUUUNNN! TWO GIANT FRICKEN ROBOTS CAME AFTER THE DEUS EX

MACHINA!"

-" I already know how this battle will end, Absolix.

With you begging me not to kill you."-


MEANWHILE WITH RELEVANT EVENTS IN ACCORDANCE TO THE PLOT

"Aha…" Said a shadowed figure, looking at the Wikipedia homepage. "Bilge is the water that collects in the lowest compartment of the ship where two sides meet at the keel. And also, the water includes but is not limited to, urine, oil, detergents, chemicals and solvents."


MEANWHILE WITH-

Dr. Alakazam: "OH COME ON!"

WHAT?

"How the Guttentag is that supposed to be relevant with the plot!"

YOR JUST MAD BECAUSE WE SKIPPED YOU

"DAMN STRAIGHT! NOW WHY DID YOU DO IT WHEN YOU PUT THAT USELESS BUNK IN THIS STORY!"

BECAUSE BILGE IS VERY IMPORTANT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS STORY

"What the-?"

I COULD EXPLAIN IT ALL IN GREAT DEPTH, HOWEVER THAT WOULD BE SPOILING THE NEXT THREE ARCS, SO I WON'T DO IT

"What the Schnitzel?"


MEANWHILE WITH KAMI

Kairi ran down the-

"It's Kairi!"

OH, SORRY

Kairi ran down the halls with great speed. She ran as fast as humanly possible, because she needed to get back to Zero. More importantly, back to Ruby before her former best friend could capture her partner Pokemon. As she ran, she noticed Pokemon running past her, trying to get away from the battle arena, where she heard something about 'giant fricken robots' and 'a deadly albino' in the cafeteria.

There, Kairi spotted the gym. She turned left and sped towards the gym. She quickly pulled out her Styler, ready for combat.

Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted something.

She narrowed her eyes for a brief instant. A human? There was another human in this school besides her?

The human was actually walking calmly, opposite of where the Pokemon were running. But Kairi didn't have time to observe the newcomer, she opened the doors of the gym with a slam and looked around for anything suspicious. She found Zero, smiling at her.

"Zero!" Kairi yelled.

"Ruby, attack."

From the ceiling came Ruby the gardevoir. Flower bobbing in her blue hair, Ruby performed a Fire Punch on Kairi, who just barely blocked it with the blue line of her Styler. The Styler's line broke from impact but kept Kairi safe from Ruby's Move.

Kairi shot a glare at Zero when she realized he had taken control of Ruby. Her eyes were dulled, she wasn't speaking, and she sped towards her human partner with intent to harm.

"She wasn't very hard to capture." Zero added as Kairi dodged another Fire Punch attack. Of course, nothing was hard for him to capture at this point- his skills were simply too good. It was almost boring, but hey, maybe the Legendaries could put up a good fight… one of them was God after all.

"Go!" Kairi commanded her Styler, it shot out dozens of needles at Ruby, who didn't dodge and was hit. Kairi took advantage of this by looping around Ruby three times before Ruby broke free and attacked with Shadow Ball. Kairi grimaced.

"Well, I'll be leaving now." The blonde haired human gave a wave, and began to walk out with his hands tucked into his black jean pockets.

"Wait!" Kairi wasn't about to let Zero go now, but then Ruby managed to hit her with a Shadow Ball, knocking Kairi down. She turned angrily at Zero, but kept her eye on her partner who was assaulting her. It simply wasn't possible to capture Zero and Ruby at the same time. Zero was going to get away!

"ZERRRRROOOOOOOOOO!"

Zero turned to his left and leapt back when Darkrai burst from the side gymnasium door and nearly Shadow Punched him. Zero however, was still unamused.

"What, you're back?" He said in a bored tone.

"We're not finished!" Yelled the prince of darkness. A Shadow Ball was launched from his open palms at the blonde haired human, who in turn looped around it to teleport it somewhere else. Childs play for him.

"Darkrai!" Yelled Kairi hopefully. "Defeat Zero!"

"You don't even need to tell me, human…" Darkrai muttered, cracking his knuckles.

"I don't have time for this." Said a bored Zero. His Styler came behind Darkrai, and looped once to warp him somewhere else.

But just before the loop was completed, Darkrai vanished. Surprised, Zero heard a noise to his left and dodged with his air shoes just in time for Darkrai to Shadow Punch the empty air. Followed up by Ice Beam, Darkrai assaulted the human again. Zero looped around the beam of cold energy but by then Darkrai was next to him, and delivered a powerful Dark Pulse to Zero, sending him flying.

Zero stopped in midair using his Air shoes to levitate in the air. Yes, he had air shoes, shoes able to exude air from their soles when Zero commanded. He survived only because he brought the blue Styler line to the impact center when Darkrai had punched.

"See, you even have the same air shoes!" Darkrai yelled, still insisted he was the same Mitsurashi Zero that had been his former human trainer. Zero rolled his eyes, still not buying it.

"Alright fine, let's do this." acknowledged Zero, who figured he couldn't just escape. His Teleport Styler didn't work on the user anyways, that was the only downside of its impressive power.

Zero sent his Styler at Darkrai who dodged it easily and leapt to where Zero was, fist in the air. Zero brought Styler to his face, creating a blue line that absorbed the impact of the punch, to which the worlds most feared human twisted up and used his iar shoes to kick Darkrai away from him.

Darkrai got back up immediately and concentrated darkness energy into a pink purple and black sphere.

"Dark Void!" hundred of smaller spheres came from the original one and all were aimed at Zero, threatening to put the human to sleep. Zero thought quickly and re-summoned his Styler. From there he used his Ranger tool to loop around every individual sphere, much to Darkrai's amazement. In three seconds he had teleported every last one of the spheres to another location, and none had gotten through.

Darkrai gaped.

Zero smirked.

"Yeah, I can do that too."

And then Darkrai punched Zero's side with all he had, the human flew until he hit one of the bleachers.

"Double Team." Stated Darkrai, who de-summoned his clone. Zero stared back at Darkrai, his air shoes having reduced the impact.

"Yeah, I can do that too." Darkrai frowned at Zero. The worlds most feared human stood up. He gazed at Darkrai, and cracked his neck once.

"This is annoying." Stated Zero. "From now on, I'm somewhat serious."

While Zero and Darkrai engaged in round two, Kairi was still battling Ruby the gardevoir. Ruby attacked with Shadow Ball again, missing her human partner by a small margin. Her eyes showed no recognition of Kairi, only the intent to attack.

"Ruby, listen to me…!" Kairi whispered, whipping her Styler around and getting another loop in. "You have to snap out of it! I'm your partner, remember?"

Ruby was unaware and charged up her most powerful attack- Focus Blast. Kairi became wide eyed, she didn't know how she was supposed to dodge such a thing!

"Ruby! Don't do this! Please!" Kairi pleaded. Ruby launched the giant sphere of fighting energy directly at Kairi. Kairi swallowed hard and put her Styler back in front of her. The Focus Blast hit Kairi's Styler, but still impacted the female Ranger, knocking her back a ways. She was bruised all over, but she stood back up, not willing to give up on saving Ruby.

However, her Styler had taken major damage from the impact. Out of the 32 defense points it had, it now had two. In other words, if Ruby hit her Styler again, it was all over.

Kairi sent out her Styler, commanding it to shoot needles for a diversion. Ruby jumped out of the needles way, which gave Kairi an opportunity to capture her as she leapt. Five loops were completed around Ruby, and Kairi finally started to see Ruby's faded eyes returning to normal.

Ruby fired off five Shadow Balls in rapid succession, causing Kairi to retract her Styler and jump out of the way. She flung her Styler back out and waved her wand to circle behind the blue haired gardevoir. Her Styler obeyed, it's blue line encircling Ruby, looping once before ruby blasted at it with a Shadow Ball.

This nearly hit Kairi's Styler, and Kairi retracted it again, decreasing the line length. The blue haired gardevoir ran up and tried to perform a Fire Punch. Kairi dodged this quite easily, only to see this was all a diversion- Ruby then performed a simple sweep kick with her legs and knocked Kairi to the ground. Defenseless, Ruby performed Imprison and sealed Kairi to the ground, then with her left charging up a Focus Blast to end it all.

"Ruby!" Kairi yelled in fear. But Ruby was not yet cured, and put even more power into the Focus Blast, its size transcending a basketball. Ruby was not about to hold back.

"Ruby please! Listen to me!" Kairi shouted. "Don't do this! I'm your partner, remember! Please Ruby, don't listen to Zero! I need you right now!"

Ruby did not respond. She held back her fist.

"Ruby!"

The blue haired gardevoir swung her fist down.

Yet at the last second, stopped.

For a moment, Kairi thought she was severely injured, as she should have been. Ruby held her fist closed, unable to fire off the large focus Blast she held in her hand.

"K…Kai…. ri…?" Ruby muttered. Tears sprung to her eyes, as suddenly she was aware of what she was about to do.

"Don't worry Ruby…" Kairi whispered back. Her Styler leapt out of her pocket. "I'll save you now…!"

Kairi's Styler looped around Ruby from every angle, faster than she had ever done before. Another five loops later, Ruby began to glow. Kairi performed the final Ranger sign, and the glow ceased. Ruby had her free will again.

Ruby collapsed on the ground as Kairi stood up. With her hands, kairi helped ruby back to her feet.

"Kairi…" Ruby cried. Now that she was aware of her actions, she had just realized she had been trying to kill her human companion. Kairi gave her a reassuring smile.

"It's all right Ruby… just hang in there…."

Kairi held her tightly.


"So then, I said, 'No Brillareby, that isn't a houseplant, that's my wife'!" Absolix began to chuckle.

Mewthree and Xeno were unamused.

"What? You didn't get the joke?"

"How to put this…logically…" Xeno paused, all four of his red eyes rolling off to the side. "You aren't what I expected… at all."

"Oh?"

"He's got a point Absolix…" Mewthree agreed, crossing her arms over her chest. "You're supposed to be the main villain of this series, but you don't act like it."

"Well just because I'm the main villain doesn't mean I can't be civilized." Absolix pointed out. "And besides, I snuck in here well enough didn't I?"

"You stuck a white moustache to yor face and put the word 'Not' in front of yor name." Mewthree said blandly.

"BUT IT WORKED DIDN'T IT?" Absolix gave off his creepy smile. Suddenly, he realized something- that the scene hadn't transitioned yet. He was still here, which of course meant only one thing…

CHUCK NORRI-

Absolix shot the author with Laser Shot.

"It means…" Absolix turned to Xeno. "That our fight is about to begin…"

Xeno narrowed his eyes, and brought his dark purple arms to his sides. Mewthree stood back, distancing herself away from the two men. Absolix and Xeno took a single step to each other, eyes locked and ready for combat.

"I will give you one last logical chance." Said Xeno. "Mewthree is coming with me."

"She will not." Absolix stood up for the experiment. "She wants to join Neo-Genesis!"

Mewthree sweat dropped.

"I will now give you a logical explanation as to why that is incorrect." Xeno said. He turned to Mewthree, whose heart sped up when he looked at her.

"You see Absolix, my logical master Giovanni thinks many logical steps ahead of everyone else." Xeno explained. "My creation was one of them. He saw that Mewthree would logically not come back to him, so when I was almost born he logically altered my DNA…"

Xeno trailed off, staring at Mewthree. Absolix watched with interest, but still keeping a third eye on Gardevoir, who hadn't moved since.

"Mewthree. You feel it, don't you?" Xeno asked. Absolix looked at Mewthree, and realized the emotionless psychic was actually blushing from his gaze.

"What are you saying? I don't understand." Mewthree said, still trying to keep a cool head. Xeno cocked his and explained.

"I am the perfect mate for you, Mewthree."

An eyebrow belonging to Absolix narrowed down, while he still smiled, though a bit disturbed by the information Xeno had just said.

"All love really is are chemicals inside the brain that react to specific logical stimuli from one deemed attractive to those specific neuron channels." the dark purple being went on. "Giovanni has made me so every fiber of my being, sight, sense, smell, etc, are all triggering Mewthree's hormones for the emotion that is love." Said Xeno.

"I state again: I have been created to be the perfect match for Mewthree, in every way shape and form. You feel it too, don't you Mewthree? You can sense that your heart quickens when I mention your name. that you have been eyeing me five times more frequently than Absolix or that other Pokemon since I have entered the room. It is illogical to think you can deny these feelings for me, Mewthree."

Mewthree realized he was right. By pure science, Giovanni had done what others thought impossible and created a perfect match for another being. It was true, she really did love him, even if the conscious part of her brain told her it was all just a trap and that this form of love was wrong. She had no choice in the matter however, she was forced to love him for biological reasons.

Absolix stood in front of her.

"Are you quite sure about that?" Absolix asked. Xeno narrowed his eyes, and Mewthree turned her attention to the fallen angel.

"The last time I checked, the brain can be changed. And the last time I checked, one chooses their mate." Absolix smiled. "If you really believe in the ridiculous notion that something like love can be controlled, then please join up with your mate, Mewthree. I will do nothing to stop you."

Mewthree had a choice to make. Stay and let Absolix guard her, or be with the one she loved. All eyes were on Mewthree, even Gardevoir's as she sweated over her decision. She wanted to be with Xeno, every fiber of her body told her that she craved his presence. The little, sane part told her that upon returning to Rocket headquarters she would be severely punished. It wouldn't matter though, because she would be with Xeno.

They were going to use Xeno to use her.

And she didn't care.

Mewthree took a step forwards.

"You see now, Absolix?" Xeno took this single step as his victory. "Mewthree has chosen the one she loves over you."

Mewthree shot an Aura Sphere at Xeno.

Absolix grinned.

Xeno turned his attention away from Absolix and focused on his perfect mate, the pink clone of mew.

"Xeno." she stuttered, apparently taking a lot of energy to mutter the words she had chosen. "I'm going with Absolix."

Angels sang out as Absolix realized this meant she was finally going to join Neo-Genesis!

"But I'm not joining him."

The chorus faded.

"I'm gong to be trained by him." she eyed the white being carefully, and he gave no negative response. "I'll be trained by him, until I am strong enough to destroy Mewtwo. Then I will return to Rocket Headquarters." She said, blue eyes meeting red ones.

"…I see." Said Xeno. "However, I am afraid Giovanni's will is absolute. You are coming back regardless."

Mewthree took a step back as Xeno charged a strange new orb attack in his hands. Just before he as about to fire it at her, Absolix appeared behind him and slashed Xeno with his sword. Xeno dodged, but leapt out of the way regardless.

"Now now, Xeno…" Scolded the smiling white being.

"Absolix…" Mewthree whispered.

"She might act like a hairy gorilla half the time, but a lady is still a lady."

"A HAIRY GORILLA?"

"Mewthree. Guard Gardevoir until I finish with our friend." Absolix said menacingly, eyes locked onto the dark purple being in front of him.

"…As I have stated, Absolix…" Xeno released his power, Mewthree realized Xeno was actually quite strong, possibly equal to a class Three. He wasn't just all talk. Absolix realized this too and tensed his fingers around his sword of light.

"It is illogical to think you can defeat me. I will now prove to you why you cannot defeat me, in this battle that will decide once and for all who will logically be the victor of our fight-

WE WILL NOW INTTERUPT THE FIGHT TO BRING YOU DARKRAI

Xeno: "Damnit."


Half the gymnasium was scorched from Darkrai's misfires. Zero himself appeared to be unharmed, but was extremely tense- and for a good reason, as the prince of darkness launched himself at impossibly high speeds at zero. Zero of course had to hyper concentrate in order to keep himself unharmed by the Pitch Black Pokemon's attacks.

Zero flung his Styler at Darkrai, trying to get a decent loop onto him, but Darkrai jumped in the air and rebounded off the ceiling to launch himself directly at Zero. Zero frowned and recalled his Styler, using it to teleport himself to a different location. Darkrai paused in midair and veered to Zero's direction, smashing Zero's Styler as the worlds most feared human put it up to defend himself. There was a crash before Zero looped around Darkrai, and he in turn fired off dozens of Shadow Balls at zero, who teleported them all away using his mastery of the Styler.

Needless to say, Kairi and Ruby were amazed.

"What happened?" Ruby said. "I blinked and I missed it!"

The two were at it again, Kairi and Ruby could do not but watch the extreme level of skill from both parties as they battled one another.

"They're on a whole new level from us…" Kairi muttered. She didn't expect Zero to be this good with just one Styler, but even more surprising was the fact that Darkrai was actually equaling his power. At this rate, maybe, just maybe… Darkrai could convince Zero to come back…

"I really can't believe Darkrai is this powerful…" Ruby said in awe. "I mean, he's just so fast! And I'M the fire type here!"

"Ruby you're not…"

Kairi was interrupted by a Shadow Ball that just narrowly missed them.

"Hey, leave them out of it!" Darkrai shouted at Zero.

"Nah, I want them gone."

"Zero, stop doing this!" the prince of darkness went straight to the point. "I know that-"

"Do you still think I'm the Zero you met in the past?" A roll of eyes.

"You look just like him!" Darkrai spat out. "Tell me the truth!"

"I told you- I'm not him!" Zero shouted back. He suddenly clutched the left side of his face. Kairi could see a faint glow inside his hands.

"Kairi… is that…"

"It is…" Kairi felt for her Styler, but it was broken now. She grimaced- if Zero unleashed his true powers, Darkrai would have to fend him off alone.

Zero meanwhile was confused- he shouldn't have been so worked up about this, why was he getting excited? After all, he had taken so few damage while Darkrai looked like he was about to collapse from the mental strain of the Styler. There was no way…

Zero looked at his Styler, which had only twelve defense points left.

Zero looked at Darkrai, who didn't appear to be fatigued whatsoever.

Zero's right eye widened.

That was why 'it' was happening. He only just now realized what fun he was having- even if he was battling with one of his weakest Stylers, he was still losing. Darkrai was actually surpassing him.

Zero grinned.

He let go of his face, and concentrated on the prince of darkness.

"…I congratulate you." Zero said suddenly. "…what did you say your name was?"

"Darkrai." said the black colored Pokemon, knowing that Zero already knew his name.

"Darkrai." Said Zero. His Styler floated around him, a blue line surrounding Zero. "Up until this point, I haven't taken any of this seriously.

If you can survive this next attack, then I will officially make you my opponent."

"Bring it on!" Darkrai roared. Zero prepared his Styler, and then-


MEANWHILE WITH GARDEVOIR

Gardevoir blinked.

What? The spotlight was on her now?

Gardevoir examined the room carefully . Next to her was Mewthree, the pink third clone of the original mew that Absolix had assigned to prevent Gardevoir's escape. Though she was supposed to be watching Gardevoir, her eyes were locked onto the main event.

Absolix and Xeno were staring at each other, prepared to rip each other's throats if that's what it took to become victorious. Who would win the fight?

However, they were still staring at each other, unmoving.

They were probably waiting for their fight scene to get started.

Gardevoir realized that since Xeno and Absolix hadn't realized their fight scene was starting, she could use this as an opportunity to escape. She scanned the room, taking note of the seal on the floor. Not only did it prevent her from teleporting, but it also made it impossible for her to pass. Her amber eyes looked on in horror as she then saw the seal covered the whole cafeteria. There was no escape.

…No, Gardevoir realized. There was one way. Without taking her eyes off the Absolix, Xeno, or Mewthree, she slowly reached over and pulled out a bright red jewel. This was a rescue beacon, given to her by younger sister Kirlia. It was a one time use object- smash the jewel, and Kirlia would instantly know that Gardevoir was in danger; and would summon Team Starlight to save Gardevoir.

Now seemed the proper time to use it.

Very carefully, she crushed it within her hands. It was easily breakable, so she had no trouble in doing so quietly. She prayed that this thing could summon her sister's rescue team, and then maybe they could then-

BEEP! BEEP BEEP!

A loud siren filled the air, emitting form Gardevoir's rescue beacon. With a blinding flash or red light, a shining pillar rose from Gardevoir's broken beacon and zoomed to the sky, finally spelling out in big bold letters that stretched for miles on end: 'GARDEVOIR NEEDS HELP'.

Absolix, Mewthree and Xeno stared at Gardevoir.

"…I-it was supposed to be discreet!" Gardevoir was red in the face.

"Wait, has out fight scene started?" Xeno realized. "In that case, I will logically attack you before-"


I INTERRUPT THE FIGHT SCENE AGAIN TO BRING YOU MERCIFOND

Mercifond and Cresselia were zooming down the hallways when they heard the narrator's loud booming voice.

"Uh… thanks?" Mercifond said nervously.

DON'T MENTION IT, YOU AND MALISPITE ARE AWESOME

"Mercifond, we need to continue!" Grumbled the lunar swan WHO IS DEFINITELY REALLY STUPID AND STUFF.

"HEY! YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE DIALOUGE LIKE THAT!" Cresselia shouted at the narrator.

CAN TOO. THE AUTHOR GAVE ME THE NEW ABILITY TO ALTER THE DIALOUGE

"WHAT?" SAID CRESSELIA IN VAIN. "WELL CRAP THEN. I GUESS I WILL SIMPLY HAVE TO SUCCUMB TO THE NARRATOR'S POWER AND ADMIT DEFEAT."

"I NEVER SAID THAT!" Cresselia shouted back.

"You guys!"

Malispite and Gallade suddenly appeared in front of the two girls, Malispite hugging his sister while Gallade gave the usual welcomes. Finally, Gallade asked what had happened and the two told him about the ATR that they had fought- and that Darkrai had defeated it in an instant.

"But that doesn't matter!" Cresselia said to Malispite and Gallade, sensing their anger towards Darkrai. "We have to figure out why they're here in the first place!"

"To steal the Jabocaberry pudding…?" Galalde raised his hand.

"No, that can't be it." Cresselia paused, turning around. "This is a special- it can't be something as simple as that, there must be some sort of mastermind behind it all… some sort of new villain that appears within this saga…"

"Such as YOU ALL!"

Without warning, who should appear but none other than Lucario, the leader of the school's disciplinary squad! He glared at them angrily with his red eyes.

"I know that all of you have broken several rules! Such as stealing Jabocaberry pudding!" Lucario pointed. "Well now it's time for you all to pay!"

"I though we got rid of him in chapter sixteen!" Cresselia gasped.

"You can't get rid of me, because I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER!" Lucario yelled dramatically.

"…no you aren't." Mercifond pointed out. "Darkrai is the main character."

"No he isn't! Aura sphere!"

And so, they began to fight the blue jackal.


MEANWHILE WITH AKARI

"MY NAME IS KAIRI!" screamed the female Ranger.

Kairi, still supporting Ruby, stared on at the new sight: Darkrai was standing intently and menacingly over Zero, bending over on his hands and knees, who had a broken Styler next to him.

"Wait, did we seriously just skip the last part of the fight?" Kairi realized.

OOPS

"Zero…" Darkrai was still tense, despite having won the fight.

Zero laughed on the ground.

"Excellent, Darkrai." Zero slowly stood to his feet, blue overcoat flapping with the wind. Although the loser in the fight, he appeared to be happy.

"I never thought… I never thought…" Zero clutched his face. "…That there could actually be a Pokemon this strong…"

"Damn straight!" Darkrai said angrily. "Now tell me Zero- Why are you acting like this! What are you doing as a Ranger, and what the hell happened to you!" Demanded the prince of darkness.

Zero continued to smile.

"Yes that's right…" Zero remembered, yellow eyes flashing into blue ones.

"Do you want to know the truth, Darkrai?"

Kairi and Ruby stared on. Was is possible that this really was the same Zero from Darkrai's past? Or was it something else entirely? Darkrai too stared intently, waiting for the worlds most feared human to speak again.

"What you have seen just now…" Zero began. "Was twenty percent of my true power."

All of a sudden, a new Styler popped from Zero's back and delivered a mighty gust of wind, so strong in fact that it took Darkrai by surprise and flung him back.

"Darkrai…" Said Zero, already in the air. "If you want to know the truth, then you must face me at full power. Figure out where I am first, then challenge me."

Zero levitated to the upper most ceiling, where he was almost out of sight. Kairi yelled for Zero to stop, but he didn't seem to know she was there, his golden colored eyes fixated on Darkrai.

"If you defeat me I will tell you everything. Until next time."

With that, powered up by his flying type Styler, Zero flew away so fast that Darkrai could not catch up in time. He brought his fists to the ground, cursing.

"Darkrai…" Said Kairi.

"What the hell are you hiding from me…!" Darkrai muttered. Kairi opened her mouth to speak, but closed it. Words were unneeded now. Darkrai gazed up at where Zero left, and swore to find him no matter what it took. He would learn the truth about the most feared human in the world.

"Dramatic…" Ruby said. Darkrai and Kairi sweat dropped. As soon as Ruby said this, there was a giant crash and the wall broke open. Darkrai turned to see who it was-

CHUCK NORRIS

Er, I mean…

"Kirlia!"

"Combee!"

"(BEEP) MAGNEMITE!"

"Together we are… TEAM STARLIGHT!" Team Starlight shouted dramatically. Darkrai, Ruby and Kairi stared.

"Who..?" Kairi began.

"Gardevoir's little sisters' rescue team." Said Darkrai for a quick explanation. "What the hell are you kids doing here? We're in the middle of trying to destroy Xeno here."

"Darkrai, where's my sister!" Said Kirlia immediately.

"Uh… what?" responded Darkrai, a confused look across his face.

"HER SISTER GARDEVOIR (BEEP) SENT OUT THE RESCUE BEACON. WE ASSUMED (BEEP) SHE WAS IN TROUBLE." explained Magnemite calmly.

"Rescue beacon…?" Darkrai turned to the door. He turned back to Team Starlight, ready for action. "Come on then! We have to-"


"Find Gardevoir!" Gallade exclaimed. "We saw the rescue beacon go off, so she's probably in grave danger!"

"A LIKELY EXCUSE!" Lucario fired off several more Aura Spheres at Gallade, who just barely dodged them all. "But I'm smarter than you lowlife criminals! And even the chosen one too!

I won't be fooled by you!"

"IT'S THE TRUTH YOU MORON!" Everyone yelled at Lucario. Cresselia and Gallade charged up a dual Psychic and sent it at Lucario. It hit, but the blue jackal managed to swerve to its side, lessening the damage.

"Where is your ringleader, Gliscor?" Lucario demanded.

"Uh… we actually have no idea…" Malispite said nervously.

"I knew it! No honor among thieves!"

"WE AREN'T THIEVES IN ANY WAY!"


MEANWHILE WITH TEAM STARLIGHT

"You did what now?" Darkrai asked.

"We set up purple barriers all around the school! We did it using the schools natural defense system from getting principal Torkoal's permission!" Kirlia said proudly. "Now there is no possible way that anyone could reach Gardevoir from the outside!"

"Genius!" Kairi congratulated, also running.

Their victory was short lived as a purple and black barrier came up between them. Darkrai growled, banging on it but no effect. They had to hurry, so Darkrai took quick action.

"I'm going left, you guys go right!" Yelled Darkrai, taking off before anyone could respond. Shrugging, Team Starlight and the Ranger duo took off running.

"So what sort of danger is she in?" Ruby asked. "Did she like, meet Mewtwo-sensei's angry watermelon or something?"

"Who knows." Said Kirlia. "But whatever it is, it can't be good…"

"MOAR DRAMA!" Gasped Ruby.


AND NOW WE BRING YOU… ABSOLIX VERSUS XENO!

Absolix lay on the ground, defeated, and probably dead.

…WHAT THE FU-

"How could this have happened?" sweated Mewthree nervously. Gardevoir was nervous too, Xeno didn't look very friendly. Now that Absolix was defeated, there nothing between them and him.

"Hmph. I knew he was a weakling." Xeno said. "It was only logical."


FLASHBACK

"Put yor hands in the air!"

It was Principal Torkoal, with his green army helmet, backed up by all the teachers in Tajiri high, prepared to take on the forces of evil. Absolix and Xeno paused to look at them.

"Get out of our school!" yelled the fire turtle.

"No." Said Xeno.

"In that case… OPEN FIRE!" Commanded the principal. Mr. Alakazam then sent dozens of jello cups at the duo using psychic powers. Xeno raised an eyebrow while Absolix laughed.

"Oh please." Said Absolix. "If you really think something like Jello can defeat me-"

Absolix's sentence was cut short as the jello exploded. Xeno surrounded himself with a strange darkness and was unaffected, but Absolix was hit by numerous explosions. At the end of it all, when Torkoal called a ceasefire, Absolix fell down.


"Defeated by a running gag." Stated Xeno. "How logically embarrassing."

"We aren't done yet! Yor next!" Torkoal shouted at Xeno. "Open fire again!"

"Oh please." Xeno said, annoyed. "Infinite Darkness."

A swarm of what appeared to be dark matter was summoned and it flowed like a river to the teachers, swallowing them and slamming the lot into a wall.

"Oh yes." Xeno said to the audience. "My ability is that I can control dark matter at will."

"We're breaking the fourth wall a lot in this chapter aren't we?" Gardevoir noted. Mewthree nodded her head in agreement.

"And now I will be taking you back, Mewthree."

Mewthree grimaced. She felt the feeling deep inside her welling up again, her 'love' fro Xeno. She chose to ignore it as panic flooded her mind. She had already seen Xeno's power level- seventy nine thousand. Almost five times her own. At this point, only Absolix could defeat Xeno, but he was unconscious.

She didn't want to rely on Absolix for help, but she had no choice. Thinking quickly, she summoned her voice and shouted

"Absolix! Xeno just said he's more handsome than you are!" Mewthree yelled to wake up the fallen angel.

"…what?" Said Xeno, right before Absolix slammed his fist into Xeno's head, sending the dark purple being crashing into a brick wall quite painfully.

"How dare you even think you can match my good looks, much less surpass them." Absolix smiled creepily.

"FOR THAT YOU SHALL BE UTTERLY ANNIHILATED."

Absolix's purple orb began glowing with yellow symbols. Arms to the sides, he recited the proper incantation.

"Requesting release of gates two and three…" Absolix chanted. The seal obeyed, and Absolix became filled with Energy Potential. Mewthree gazed on in shock- his power level had risen by twenty thousand- now he was at twenty three thousand EP.


Mewtwo clenched his fist.

"What was that?" He said aloud.


Absolix then summoned twenty swords of light. He flung ten of them at Xeno without hesitation, and then shot the other ten at Mewthree.

"WHAT THE CRAP!" Mewthree just barely dodge them before they impaled her brutally. "What the hell was that for!"

"That was for lying to me." Absolix smiled, still remembering the 'handsome' comment used to wake him up. "Anyway, I think you're friend 'Xeno' has been vanquished, so Gardevoir…"

Absolix stopped himself when he sensed Energy Potential. Xeno stood back up, not a scratch on him.

"Oh?" Absolix said. The fight began again when Xeno launched Infinite Darkness at Absolix. Absolix summoned a shield of light and it blocked the river of dark matter. However, by then Xeno was up at Absolix's back.

"Sealing technique… fifty gates of black night." Xeno then performed an incredibly complex seal on Absolix, shocking him into submission. Absolix quickly recovered however, and launched twenty swords at Xeno-

When nothing happened.

Confused, Absolix summoned his EP once again.

"Photon Stream!" But again, nothing happened. By this time, Absolix realized what had happened. "Oh now I understand…"

"Yes, Absolix…" Xeno said. "You're ability to control light is impressive, godlike even, but it has one fatal logical flaw in it…

Because of that, you cannot use any other Moves other than light type."

Mewthree and Gardevoir gasped. It made sense actually- Absolix hadn't used a single non-light type attack since his release from the prison he was in.

"I have logically made a seal that prevents all light type Moves from occuring. Thus, you can no longer use any attacks."

Absolix cocked his head.

"Impressive."

"Yes. Now die." Xeno launched Infinite Darkness at Absolix again, who this time was unable to defend himself., sucked away by the torrent and flung into another wall painfully. Absolix stood back up, bruises covering his body.

"Give up. You cannot win, it is illogical." stated the four eyes being. Mewthree actually found herself agreeing with Xeno- without any Moves, how could Absolix possibly win, even if he was a class Five!

Absolix scoffed at the idea, chuckling.

"So let me get this straight…" Absolix suppressed a laugh. "You think that just because I can no longer use Moves, that I can no longer defeat you?"

Xeno cocked his head.

"Yes… it is only logical…" Xeno responded. Something was up. Did Absolix have another trick up his sleeve perhaps?

"Oh Arceus. Let me educate you on the error of your ways." Absolix sighed. "Requesting release of gates four through ten…"

More Energy Potential surged through Absolix, bringing his power level to about eighty thousand, higher than even Xeno's. Both Xeno and Mewthree failed to grasp as to why Absolix raised his power level- no matter how much EP you had, without Moves, it was useless.


Mewtwo clutched the table again.

This was…!

No, it couldn't be…?


"I shall enlighten you of your pitiful struggle, Absolix." Xeno said, an orb of dark matter in front of him. The orb suddenly glowed. "Endless Wave."

A beam of dark energy shot from the orb, decimated everything in its path. The bright purple beam created a hole in the wall Absolix was in, making it crumble away to nothing. Xeno was certain Absolix was destroyed, when suddenly Absolix appeared beside him.

Before Xeno knew it, Absolix had used a simple punch attack on him that sent Xeno flying to another brick wall of the school. Xeno crashed through it as if the wall were paper, but it inflicted great damage on Xeno. He stood back up, shocked for once.

"Do you get it now?" Absolix chuckled. Xeno was wide eyed- this shouldn't be possible! Unless…

"I have a total of ninety nine seals on my body. They are designed to limit my Energy Potential to more manageable levels, so that I don't accidentally kill others with my astounding EPressure.

However, you are mistaken in that the seals ONLY limit my Energy Potential. They serve another purpose."

Absolix clenched his fists.

"My strength and speed."

Absolix appeared right before Xeno again, grabbed him, and flung him in the opposite direction. Xeno, flying through the air, quickly countered with Infinity Collapse, a dark type Move that sent dark matter from the sky crashing down on his opponent. The ceiling gave way and the dark matter was unleashed in the room.

Absolix simply chuckled and let the dark matter hit him. Xeno thought he was a fool for not reacting- until that is, when he saw Absolix undamaged from the Move. Leaping once in the air, Absolix zoomed behind Xeno and used two of his hands to smash the purple being into the ground.

"Here's a little bit of added information for you, Xeno." Absolix smiled.

"At one hundred percent power, my strength is so great that I can punch a skyscraper with relative ease and it would crumble."

Mewthree and Gardevoir were nonetheless shocked. Mewthree then realized it sort of made sense. After all, that time with agent Slicer proved that Absolix had to possess a great amount physical strength, otherwise he would never be able to throw a 260 pound Pokemon with one hand and created a crater from it.

Gardevoir was just plain fearful- after all this man was after her for some reason.

Xeno couldn't believe what had just happened- here he lay defeated, and without his opponent using a single Move on him. It was just plain ridiculous. Absolix really was a monster.

But that had been predicted.

"Do you really think that a fourth rate clone could defeat me?" Absolix mused, noting how Xeno was the fourth clone of himself thus far.

Xeno however remained calm. Yes, he had been acting this entire time, pretending he did not know of Absolix's true strength, pretending that he was unaware of just how dangerous the fallen angel was. It was still true that there was no way he could defeat Absolix in his current condition, but someday he would surpass Absolix…

The important thing now was that his objective was completed. Nay, it was surpassed even. Mewthree's words convinced him of it.

Time to go home.

And then there was a clapping sound.

The four Pokemon turned their heads to a hallway recently blocked off by a purple wall. There, standing lone in the center, was a black haired grinning human.

"Well well, Xeno!" He said, it was a male from the sound of the voice. "It looks like you're in need of some rescuing, hm?"

Absolix's attention was on the human now.

"Gin." stated Xeno, this being the first time he was mildly surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Yes…" Said Absolix, intrigued. "And more importantly, why was I unable to sense you until now?"

"Because I didn't want you to find me yet." The human answered smartly.

This human was black haired and male. His hair was long with black spikes everywhere. He wore a black trench coat, with a black shirt with red horizontal stripes on it. His pants were gray colored, with pockets, and he wore two dark blue gloves on either of his hands.

"Name's Gin. Gin Takamura." He introduced himself.

At this, Gardevoir flinched a bit.


"Man, you won't believe what Cresselia and I had to fight!"Gliscor complained. The battle with Helix and the Four Stars had ended just recently, and Manaphy was tending to their wounds. Gardevoir was next to Gliscor, and they had been talking for a bit.

"What?" asked gardevoir, curious.

"A giant robot! It was called like… an ATR or something. It was created by Team Rocket." Gliscor said. "But geeze, that thing was hard to beat! We just barely did it, no thanks to those secret agents!"

"Wow, a robot!" Gardevoir was intrigued.

"Well not exactly… it was actually being controlled by a human from Team Rockets base." Gliscor corrected himself. "The human gave us his name.

He said his name was Gin Takamura…"


This... This was the man who controlled the first ATR that Gliscor and Cresselia had fought!

"Bad news Xeno." Gin said first hand. "Both of the ATR's were destroyed for some reason. So I was sent to get you out of here."

"Destroyed…?" Xeno narrowed his eyes. "Who could have possibly…?"

"Oh, I know a couple of Pokemon who probably did that." Absolix said, eyeing Gardevoir for a split second. Gin walked up to Absolix, unafraid of the white being. The two were about equal height, and they eyed each other, the way two lions can sense that the other is equal to their power.

"Let's see how you punch." Gin smiled. He raised his fist.

It was supposed to be a simple victory for Absolix- no human could possibly have more power than a Pokemon, that was the given law in this world. Absolix was a class Five nonetheless. And yet, Absolix punched back at full force instinctively, and when their fists collided it sent shockwaves in every direction from the sheer force of the impact. Neither gave in, and instead the two pressed forth on each other, ripping the floorboard apart from the extra step they took. A great gash appeared between the two, much to the shock of everyone watching.

Finally it was over, the two stopped punching.

It was more of less a truce among the two lions. There was no need for them to fight any longer than that. Other than Xeno, everyone in the room was shocked that a mere human could match the power of a class Five. Gin simply smiled.

"...What are you…?" Absolix questioned. "You're aura is disturbing… it does not match the aura of a normal human."

Gin grinned back, his golden colored eyes reflecting a sense of hidden power.

"Sapien City." whispered Gin, so quietly that only Absolix could hear it. The golden eyes of the fallen angel flickered with curiosity. Gin strode past Absolix and picked up Xeno with one arm, Absolix doing nothing to stop this.

"Until next time, Pokemon." Gin smiled.

"And trust me, there will be a next time."

With that, a black hole opened up beside Gin, and he went through it, with Xeno in his hands. The human was gone.

"Wait…" Mewthree realized. "I didn't see a communicator on him…" She said, knowing that humans could only talk to Pokemon through certain machines.

"There wasn't one." Absolix smiled. Mewthree and Gardevoir gasped.

"Then, then he was?"

"Yes…" Mused Absolix. "He was speaking to us directly."

Gardevoir was shocked, along with Mewthree. How was something like that possible? Humans directly communicating with Pokemon?

"My my… have I really been gone so long that humans can now speak our language?" Said Absolix aloud. "Some interesting things are happening in Sapien City."

However, he could worry about the interesting things in Sapein City later. For now, he turned to face Gardevoir.

"At last, we get to have interaction." Absolix smiled.

Gardevoir tense up. It was time. Even though she had silently struggled to break the seal on her psychic powers, Absolix's power was absolute. She would have to face him now, and she wasn't prepared.

"Now Gardevoir, why is it that you have light powers?" Absolix mused, Mewthree eyeing Gardevoir for a split second. She had light powers?

"I believe it's time we found out why that it." said the Fallen Angel. "Gardevoir…

You and I are now going to fight."
