I think this will be the longest fight outta the four, don't worry I have something special for Giovanni's match, it's just that he's usin three pokemon, and they're all supra, yes SUPRA!, powerful. But I just read the last chapter over and Maxie didn't get zapped that much so ill try to change that this time MUhahahahaha :)
Cyrus was the most composed of the challengers so far. He stood patiently as Entei was dragged off the field by two grunts, once again no one seemed to notice the coils around Entei glow. Mewtwo was train in thought when suddenly he caught a glimpse of some unknown presence, the whole ordeal was so terrifying that he fell to the platform next to Ash. The thought passed quickly as if it knew Mewtwo had stumbled upon it and it was trying to conceal itself for the time being. "Mewtwo what's wrong?" Ash asked concerned for the usually quiet Pokemon.
"I'm not sure, but there's something Giovanni's keeping from us." Mewtwo said as he steadily floated again.
"Are you two done with your little chat?" Cyrus asked impatiently as Darkrai floated in front of him, obviously he had chosen when Mewtwo had his vision.
"Mewtwo do you wanna go next?" Ash asked.
"As tempting as it is I'd rather bring pain onto the one man who betrayed me, more than I wish to exist." Mewtwo replied glaring once again at Giovanni. Ash tossed Mewtwo's dark thoughts away and pulled out a black pokeball.
"Latias I choose you!" the gentle Eon Pokemon gave a small coo as it entered.
"The challengers are ready, no time limit. Begin!" the grunt was almost ignored as Cyrus attacked first.
"Darkrai Dark Pulse!" Darkrai formed a ball of dark energy and shot it at Latias who evaded using its natural camoflagoue technique.
"Latias Confusion!" The Eon pokemon reappeared casting its blue eyes towards Darkrai.
"Use Shadow Ball!" another dark ball formed, this one however hit Latias dead on making Ash grit his teeth from the blue voltage.
"Why didn't that work?" Ash asked himself.
"Ash!" Lance said from the sidelines. "Psychic attacks don't work against Dark types!"
"What?!"
"Darkrai Dark Pulse!" Dark Pulse also scored a direct hit to the bruised Eon Pokemon. Ash couldn't help but groan in pain.
"Latias, don't give up! Use Recover!" Latias glowed a faint yellow as its bruises stated to disappear, when Darkrai rammed into it sending it crashing into the wall.
"Looks like you chose wrong boy, I just wish that you'd chosen your Pikachu so that I may have defeated it instead." Cyrus mocked.
"Latias I believe in you!" Ash yelled. Latias slowly rose up. "Latias now Extreme Speed!" Latias became no more than a blur as it slammed into Darkrai several times, each time sending Cyrus a little volt of power. "Now use Luster Purge!" It's slowed down but not much as it started to glow.
"Darkrai Dark Void!" The attacking Latias was hit by a small orb or dark energy and it slunk to the floor. It started to shiver as the Darkness Pokemon hovered over its helpless prey. "Use Dream Eater!" Darkrai put its hand's near Latias's head as a faint glow of energy was transferred from Latias to Darkrai. But in a sudden burst of speed Latias woke up and engaged its camouflage.
"What happened?" Dawn asked confused.
"Dreameater sometimes wakes up your opponents, and since Latias is also a Psychic type the energy lost wasn't that bad." Brock explained.
"Alright ok Latias let's do this, use Dragon Pulse!" Reappearing behind Darkrai, Latias sent a blue shock wave of energy making Darkrai fall to the floor. A similar blue energy ran through Cyrus as he gripped his handle bars.
"Use Double Team!" Darkrai broke free of the attack and made copies of it that surrounded Latias.
"Latias don't give in, use Agility then switch to Aerial Ace!" Latias gained speed by flying in the inner circle of the Darkrai's, and in a flash the real Darkrai was sent flying into Cyrus's platform. The judge looked it over for a moment.
"The defending Pokemon is unable to battle, the winner is the challenger." Announced the grunt. Cyrus stood stunned, he didn't so much as make a sound when the electricity, especially high this time, engulfed him and knocked him unconscious.
"Ya alright Latias!" Ash cheered as the Eon Pokemon floated weakly over to his platform with a smile. "You deserve a nice long rest." Latias gave a happy cheer as it was sucked back into the Pokeball. Clapping was the only sound in the room, everyone looked up to see Giovanni standing with a wide grin.
"Well you certainly are a remarkable boy, if I known you'd be such a great trainer I would have recruited you for Team Rocket." Giovanni said as he walked down the stairs and climbed up the platform where Cyrus still lay. "These fools thought I'd share the world with them, when it's actually the complete opposite. I used them to round up these Pokemon, "he said gesturing towards the mind controlled legends." So that I could harvest their energy." This time he gestured towards the fainted Darkrai being dragged off. AS it was the coils glowed a dim red, but this time everyone saw.
"Harvesting their energy, for what?" Ash asked angered.
"For my battle with you boy."
