Chapter 13
We leave off with our last paragraph
~
Both pokemon charged at each other at such great speeds, the air around them was practically screaming in their ears. Quicker and quicker they closed in on each other and at that moment power collided with power.
Ashley's Steel Wing attack sliced right through Mewtwo's barrier, and knocking the wind out of him as her attack hit his stomach. But because Mewtwo had collided with Ashley so hard her armor fell off, plus the force had injured her wing severely causing Ashley to fall four miles onto the ground.
Ashley hit hard! Her head lifted and she let out a roar of immense pain, her eyes glowing a psychic blue, but they died down after a moment.
Mewtwo flew in closer to get a better look, he had noticed the armor before but now that it was off he noticed the collar. Mewtwo knew what he had to do, he had to remove and destroy the collar. Mewtwo examined his opponent, then he laughed, that fall had done double duty.
Know, not only was Ashley's wing impaired, but one of Ashley's front paws also seemed to be broken! Mewtwo smiled, this puppy was grounded! But Ashley didn't let that stop her, with a mighty roar she let loose flamethrowers and ember attacks as soon as Mewtwo drew close to get at the collar.
Mewtwo drew back, there was no way he could get close enough without getting injured or even killed. Ashley still wasn't weak enough despite her already sever injuries. Mewtwo knew he had no choice, he had to weaken Ashley more to even have a chance to get at her.
Mewtwo's eye's started to glow a dangerous blue, and the it quickly surrounded his whole form, and then with an outburst of his voice one sudden movement, a huge cyclone of water came flying through the sky and darted straight for Ashley, Ashley looked up and let out a roar just before the great rush of water pounded down on her.
Mewtwo watched from above as the more water kept raining down on Ashley. There was so much, Mewtwo couldn't even see her.
I'm sorry Ashley, but I'm only doing this because I care Mewtwo said.
Finally he cut the water attack, but gasped in shock at what he saw. Ashley was unharmed, she had put up a heat shield around her body that only turned the water into harmless steam. The heat of the shield had caused the rocks around her to melt into molten lava.
No, this can't be! Mewtwo yelled.

Giovanni laughed in the safe distance from the battle field, he picked the smaller version of the black collar that he had accidentally dropped on the ground. The collar gave him a slight shock but Giovanni quickly shrugged it off, and he got into his helicopter to fly over to the battle field.
~
Mewtwo watched as Ashley slowly got to her feet, her front paw winced up in pain, then she spread her wings and took to the air.
No, how could she
WHAM!
A force of energy hit Mewtwo from behind and sent him sailing into the mountain base.
Ashley grinned Future Sight she growled.
Mewtwo remembered that just before he dumped all that water on her, her eyes had begun to glow blue, that must have been future sight.
Mewtwo cringed.
Ashley flew up about a hundred feet away and then flapped her wings harder than a Pidgeot, to form her gust attack as more powerful than anyone or anything could have imagined.
Each forceful blow of Ashley's gust attack hit home, Mewtwo yelled out in pain with each hit. Finally Mewtwo was able to get away and charge at Ashley, who instantly let a Flamethrower attack rain down on top of Mewtwo, burning him and slowing him down to a stop.
Ashley rushed at Mewtwo and grabbed him with her claws. She growled in pain as she had to use her broken paw. Ashley had Mewtwo by his shoulders as she started to power up for a seismic toss. For the first time, Mewtwo experienced G-forces, Ashley was spinning so fast they had reached up to 9-G's!
Finally Ashley straightened out and flew straight for the ground, Mewtwo knew he had to avoid this some how or he was down for the count. Mewtwo grabbed a hold of Ashley's shoulder's and then tried to turn her on to her side so both of them would hit the ground.
KABOOM!
Both pokemon hit the ground with intense force, Mewtwo had managed to get Ashley onto her side so both had hit, but due to this, both Ashley and Mewtwo were out cold. Just then footsteps neared the battle zone and stopped over the two pokemon.
Evil laughter filled the air!
~
Ariana, Gary and Sean were all outside. The storm had stopped and now it was time to look for Ashley and Mewtwo.
Suddenly the sound of a gun being loaded was heard from behind the trio. They quickly turned around to see three Team Rocket members pointing rifles at them. Sean recognized one of them right away. Butch!
Well well Sean, long time no see Butch said in his scratchy voice.
Everyone cringed at the harsh sound of his voice. Sean glared at him angrily. What the hell do you want?
The girl Butch answered simply.
Gary yelled defensively.
Suddenly both Sean and Gary were hit hard on the back of the head and they both blacked out.
No! Sean, Gary! Ariana cried.
Butch smiled at his team mate that had K.O'd the boys. Nice job Cassidy, couldn't have done it better myself.
Thanks Butch! Cassidy laughed.
She looked down at Ariana with an evil smile. All right sweetie, now just come with me quietly and you won't get hurt Cassidy said as she held out her hand.
Ariana yelled.
I don't think you have much of a choice Cassidy said.
No sooner had she said that when suddenly the sound of more guns from behind Cassidy made Ariana look around. Team Rocket members surrounded her, each holding a gun loaded and pointed at her.
And I'm sure you don't want anything to happen to your friends over there Cassidy said pointing towards Sean and Gary lying unconscious on the ground.
Ariana's face fell as she hung her head in defeat.
Cassidy laughed. Good girl, I knew you'd see it my way

Giovanni stood before his most newest additions; Ashley and Mewtwo. Both pokemon were know fully healed and each one wore body armor. Mewtwo was wearing the same set he had the last time but this time he was also wearing a collar.
Giovanni smiled You two will be put to the test soon, so be patient, and Giovanni walked out of the room, leaving the two pokemon alone.
Mewtwo's collar gave off a small electric spark and Mewtwo's eyes glowed for a mere moment.

5 hours later

Ariana sat in her cell waiting for one of the scientists to take her to the lab. She was back in a hospital gown and was shivered harshly from the cold air. Just then a figure walked past her cell and an envelop dropped into Ariana's cell.
The person walked right past not even bothering to stop, and headed straight into the labs. Ariana leaned over and picked up the envelop and was surprised to see that it was addressed to her. Ariana opened it up and took out the letter then began to read.
The letter had said the following:
Dear Ariana,
Despite what has happened to you over the past years, you are not alone. Your mother is watching and feeling your pain every minute and every second of your life. She loves you with all her heart and had never wished for you to endure such pain.
I had always meant for you to live a better life and I am trying extremely hard to get you out of this horrible place, but please understand that it is not easy for me, your mother, as well. I too must endorse the same pain and suffering everyday as you but ours are in totally different ways.
I don't want you to lose hope, just think that one day me you and your sister will live happily one day. Yes, you have a sister, and she is gone but very much alive. Everyday I worry about her as well and one day I hope that we can all live as a family.
I won't let you suffer anymore, even when things get tight, I still have hope and I hope you do to. Please forgive me for the past, I had no control over it and I'm deeply sorry.
Love,
Dr. Kathy,
your mother.
~
Ariana's heart practically skipped a beat, she had a family. Suddenly she felt something soft cover her. She gasped and looked up to see Dr. Kathy wrapping a soft warm blanket around her.
Ariana was practically chocked up, she wondered why Kathy had always said to her Don't worry, this won't hurt or I'll make this as fast as I can so nothing bad happens
Kathy crouched down next Ariana, she sighed and smiled at the girl.
Ariana, I'm sorry for what I've done to you, it's just that_
You don't have to explain. I know it wasn't your fault. You were forced to do something that you didn't want to, just like me. But I have one question.
Kathy asked, relieved that Ariana was at least talking to her.
Who's my sister? Ariana asked.
Kathy smiled
How sweet! Giovanni's voice said.
Kathy looked up at Giovanni who had sneaked up on them and had listened to at least half of their conversation. Ariana leaned into Kathy who held her protectively. Giovanni chuckled.
Yes, who is this second child, my dear? he grinned.
Kathy shook her head at him Don't call me that
Oh please. Giovanni said Not like I care enough any way. You should just be thankful that I allowed you to keep this one. But now the time has come for the serious testing to start
What are you talking about? Kathy asked.
Giovanni laughed My dear, do you think I would've kept this child alive this long for no reason?
I was hoping Kathy muttered.
Giovanni mockingly waved a finger at her Don't be ridiculous. I always have a reason for something
So what is this testing you're talking about? Kathy asked.
Giovanni smiled evilly down at the girl, then at Kathy.
Inject her with pokemon DNA!
Kathy gasped and stepped back in shock.
Are you insane. If I do that there's no telling what could happen to her. I won't do it! Kathy shouted.
Giovanni reached out and grabbed Kathy by her shoulders and held her tightly, Kathy cringed in fear.
Listen woman; you're in no position to tell me what you will and will not do. Is that understood? Giovanni snapped.
I'd never listen to a psychopath like you Kathy chocked.
I don't think you have much of a choice Giovanni whispered to her, then he pulled her closer and kissed her roughly on the lips.
Ariana shouted.
Kathy finally managed to pull back and she was about to say something when
I'll do it Ariana shouted.
Giovanni and Kathy looked at the distressed girl who was totally panicked.
Ariana no Kathy whispered.
That's better, at least there's a little cooperation around here. But tell me girl, why such the change in attitude? Giovanni asked.
Ariana gave him a cold look and replied Because. You were hurting mommy. Plus I don't want a psychotic, deranged, mentally ill, whacked out, lunatic like you near her.
Giovanni was steaming but Kathy was shocked. Where on earth had her little girl learned to talk like that. Giovanni let go of Kathy and huffed in anger.
I have some DNA all ready for that little brat, and don't try any thing funny because I'll be watching the whole thing Giovanni sneered, then he walked away laughing.
Both daughter and mother could do nothing but stand there and watch.
