A.N: Pokemon cannot be cured from paralysis unless an item is used. But in this story, Shake and Ken snapped out of paralysis.
Chapter (14): Ken's Desire
"You are so simple and kind. And that's your weakness." Shake said, getting ready to fight.
"No more Mr. Nice Guy. And I am going to fight you with everything I got." Ken said.
Ken surrounded himself with a pink force field. He then dashed towards Shake at full speed. Shake also formed a force field around him. Each of them bounced back as the two force fields collided.
Ken then quickly removed his force field and charged a large amount of electrical power in his hands. He then fired a Zap Cannon to Shake. Shake defended it with a barrier. However, he could not completely stop it. In fact, Zap Cannon was the most powerful electric attack. So Mewtwo was damaged and paralyzed.
"You… You have become….. stronger, Ken." He managed to groan. "But this isn't enough to beat me."
Shake then released a very fast Shock Wave which directly hit Ken and paralyzed him. Shake snapped out of paralysis. He then shot an Ice-Beam at Ken. The beam's was faster than normal. Ken also snapped out of paralysis and used Safe Guard to protect himself.
"Do you think Safe Guard would stop the attack?" Shake shouted.
Larry was worried about Ken. So before the beam could hit Ken, he lifted his head and shot a Hyper Beam from his mouth to deflect the ice beam. There was an explosion where the two beams met. Shake shot an energy ball at Larry. It was very fast and powerful. Shake knew that Larry would not be fast enough to dodge it. And he also made it very powerful so that it would kill Larry. Larry's eyes became wide opened as the energy ball coming towards him.
"Is this my end, killed by an old friend?" he muttered. He was sweating coz he knew that he would be hit by that powerful attack. He then closed his eyes.
There was an explosion. Larry thought he was dead but he wasn't. He opened his eyes only to see Ken, levitating in front of him. He got a lot of bruises and cuts all over his body. All the cuts on his body were bleeding. Blood flowed from the mouth too. By the looks of his eyes, Larry knew that he had suffered a lot of pain. Ken then fell to the ground.
"Since you save me from that ice attack, it is my turn to save you again." Ken spoke out his last words before he fainted.
Larry watched Ken with teary eyes. He lowered his neck to watch Ken closely.
"Ken…" he said in a teary voice.
"Ken, you are foolish as always, using your body as a shield to protect Larry. But will you protect me like that if I were him?" Shake said to himself. Somehow tears were flowing down his face from his eyes. He tried to stop his tears from flowing. He felt sad even though he didn't realize it.
Larry wiped his tears and turned to Shake with angry eyes.
"That's it, Shake! You'll pay for this!" Shake yelled and he charged towards Shake. Shake dodged it. Then Larry turned back and shot a powerful Hyper Beam. Shake created a barrier quickly. There was a large explosion.
"Powerful!" Shake shouted. What he saw next was Larry, charging towards him. His wings glowed with white light and tackled Shake with his wings. Shake was not able to dodge the Steel Wings attack.
Meanwhile, Ken was in a dark room.
"Where am I?" he said. "Am I dead?"
"No, you only fainted. You are now in your own world." A voice said. And a pair of glowing eyes appeared in front of him.
"Who are you?" Ken shouted.
"I am the dark rage, sleeping inside you. Now you have awakened me." It replied.
"I have awakened you?" Ken asked. He was not sure of himself. He never had tried to awaken his Dark Rage.
"Tell me, Ken. Why did you awaken me?" it said. Ken remained silent. He did not know what to say.
"Answer me!" it shouted angrily. Ken felt his feet, fading in the dark. His body was becoming to fade in the dark as well.
"All you want is power. I know it." It said, chuckling. "Then let me consume you. You'll be more powerful. All you have to do is to let me consume your whole body."
Ken's legs and body except the chest had disappeared. All that were left were his hands, chest and head. They were also slowly fading. Ken did not know what to do. It was all hopeless for him. Suddenly he remembered Shake. He saw his past days in human life and as well as pokemon life.
Shake sat besides him in class when he was a human. Ken was studying his lessons.
"Ken, can I study with you?" Shake asked.
"Do whatever you please, just let me study in peace." Ken answered. Ken kept on studying.
"Ken, can you explain me this one?" Shake asked, pointing a paragraph in his book. He was smiling that time. And Ken could never forget a smile like that.
In the cafeteria, Ken was always teased.
"How are you doing, Mr. Idol?"
"You really shouldn't be the idol of the class. But you could become one in sewers." There were a lot of laughs.
"Cut the crap out!" Shake shouted.
"Don't make fun of the poor guy!" Larry agreed. They always stood by Ken's side. Ken ignored what people said about him.
In the pokemon world, Shake was little nervous on the second day.
"Shake, you will be fine. Don't worry." Ken said, putting the fluff ,at the end of his tail, on Shake's shoulder as to comfort him.
Ken's legs and the rest of his body appeared again.
"What're you doing?" The voice shouted.
"I will be the one to control you. You were right for once. I need power. But I need that power not for my own goods. I need power to bring my precious friend back." Ken shouted.
Shake became tougher and Larry was losing to him. Larry grinned, knowing that he would not win Shake.
