I threw the frisbee, trying to remain as quiet as I could. The fiery beast turned towards it and, with a roar, incinerated the plastic toy. "Well done Charizard" I called to him. We had snuck into the safari zone and were training Charizards accuracy. He had to hit the frisbees with his eyes closed, we'd been at it for an hour. "Go take a break now, buddy. I called, returning him to his pokeball
I wanted to try something. Something I received from Cinnabar Island. "Let's go" I shouted, throwing a pokeball. From the pokeball burst a bone white humanoid with a purple stomach and long and fearsome tail. "Mewtwo" I commented, emotionlessly. "Let's see what moves this guy knows using the PokeScanner Poketch app. Hmm. Psystrike, Psychic, Shadow ball and... What's this? Move unknown? Thats interesting. Lets try this guy out"
"Shadow Ball" I shouted, throwing another frisbee i had collected from a pile at the edge of the arena. With an explosion, the dark ball of energy hit the frisbee and sent it flying in a totally different direction. "Impressive" I noted. "Mewtwo, you see those rocks in the ground? Use Psychic to throw them in the air, then Shadow Ball to blow them up!" With a rumble, 4 long and solid looking boulders flew into the air, each with a light pink and blue film around them. With a grunt, Mewtwo threw 4 Shadow Balls in succession, each one succeeding in hitting a boulder and destroying it, resulting in a rainfall of rock shards. "Hold the shrapnel with Psychic!" I commanded Mewtwo, covering my head with my arms, a futile effort. The oncoming barrage halted in its advance, and flew in the opposite direction. "You are a strong and powerful pokemon. Let's see how you fare against Charizard" And with that, threw Charizard's pokeball in the air. "Charizard, meet my new pokemon, Mewtwo. I would like the two of you to fight against each other to test Mewtwo's strength. Will you do it?" I asked. With a roar, Charizard agreed. "Great"
"Lets go. I want the two of you to play clean. Use your intuition and instinct. I won't be giving you commands to follow, just use whatever moves feel natural. Got it?" Charizard roared at one side of the battle arena. Mewtwo nodded from the other. "Then lets go" Charizard roared again, and started the battle by gliding in on his wings and launching a Flamethrower at Mewtwo, who deftly glided to the right to evade the attack, then retaliated with a Shadow Ball, which hit Charizard in the side of his face. He growled, then launched another Flamethrower at Mewtwo, who dived again. This time, Charizard moved his neck to try and turn his attack to hit Mewtwo, which he succeeded in. The battle continued this way for a while until both pokemon were both exhausted.
That night, I was sitting with Steven, eating dinner. Abruptly, Steven turned to me and said "Jack. My father, Mr Stone, just sent me a new pokemon to use in the coming days, but my party is now full. I would like to give you an old friend of mine that i don't use in battle much any more. Would you accept this gift of mine?"
"Wow" I was shocked, I wasn't expecting anything like this "Of course"
"Thanks Jack. Here is my Metang. Take care of him" Steven handed me a pokeball and then said "I just realised, all the Johto gym leaders are going to be here. Why don't you challenge them to gym battles? See if you can collect all the Johto badges as well."
