"Who shall be next?" Mewtwo calmly stated as he waited for the next challenger to step forward. "Unless you've realized just how useless it is to resist my power."

"Magby, use ember!" A young child's voice said, ringing through the stadium.

A few stray embers connected with Mewtwo's face, angering the psychic type. "Who dares to oppose me?"

"The great Kegan!" Kegan shouted as he jumped from the stands. While in the air, Kegan performed a front flip and landed on the ground. Once on the ground, Kegan crossed his arms over his chest and looked at the group. "What do you guys think of my entrance?"

"What are you doing!?" Nick yelled, obviously worried for the boy's sake. "You should have stayed hidden. At least that way you'll be safe!"

"I'm not afraid of an overgrown cat," Kegan stated as he balled his fists. "I'll beat him like it's nothing and then I'm going to catch that pokemon!"

"You insolent fool," Mewtwo stated as his eyes glowed blue. In one swift movement, Magby was lifted off of the ground and tossed into the wall. "Your pokemon has already been defeated."

"M-Magby! What did you do to him?" Kegan asked as he looked at the fainted pokemon. "You had to have cheated, Magby is the strongest pokemon ever! I'll make you pay for cheating!" Kegan yelled while charging at the pokemon.

"Kegan, stop it!" Nick yelled as he tried to grab the boy, only to miss him.

Mewtwo raised his hand as a blue aura surrounded Kegan and lifted him off of the ground. "How did you get here?" Mewtwo asked the struggling child. "I didn't invite you."

Kegan struggled against the power of the psychic attack. The young boy flailed his feet around, hoping to kick the psychic type. "L-let... me... g-go..." He weakly stated as he felt the pressure increase.

"You didn't answer my question," Mewtwo told the boy as he increased the pressure even more, making it nearly impossible for Kegan to move or breath. "How did you get here!?"

Nick watched as Kegan stopped flailing around and instead reached for his neck, trying to pull the force away from his neck. Both of them knew it was pointless as there wasn't anything actually pressed against his throat, just Mewtwo using his psychic attack.

"I brought him!" Nick yelled as he caught Mewtwo's attention. "He came along with me as a guest!"

Mewtwo narrowed his sight onto Nick. With a quick flick of his free hand, Nick was pushed backwards by the powerful psychic energy. "I thought the old man was your guest, so, which one is it?"

"They're both my guests!" Nick responded as he planted his feet into the ground. "Let him go now, he's just a kid!"

Mewtwo just stared at the boy. "Hmph, humans can't even follow rules. It just shows you how they put their needs and thoughts before others." Nick was then pushed back even further, into the other room, only being kept up off of the ground thanks to his pokemon catching him.

Nick grit his teeth as he stared at Mewtwo. "I only brought him in because of your storm! It was too dangerous to leave him outside in this weather!"

"That is not of my concern," Mewtwo told Nick as he looked at the group. "Now, who wishes to battle me next?"

Nick clenched his fists as he grabbed his backpack and ran into the other room followed by all of his pokemon except for a sleeping Dragonair. "Hitmonchan, mach punch! Pidgeotto, quick attack!"

Both pokemon raced off with a burst of speed. White trails flowed behind them, indicating just how fast they truly were moving at. Mewtwo didn't have any time to react as he felt Hitmonchan's fist connect with his face, pushing it backwards a few inches.

The psychic type didn't seem to be in any pain however as he moved his head forward, locking his eyes with Hitmonchan's. Mewtwo opened his mouth as if to say something, only to be pushed backwards a few inches by the addition of Pidgeotto.

"That look in their eyes, it's just like the one in their trainer's eyes. Why do they fight for him?" Mewtwo thought to himself as it caused a slight slip in his concentration. Without realizing it, his grasp on Kegan slipped and allowed the boy to escape his grasp.

"That's it! Hit him with everything you got!" Nick yelled out, as it seemed that his words only gave them more energy. "Just hold on long enough for Kegan to get out of there!" Nick mentally told his pokemon as he watched the young boy gasp for air while on the ground.

"Where does this strength come from? Even though they are no match for me, they continue to fight." Mewtwo continued to think before realizing that he was losing his footing. "Enough!" He yelled out as a blast of psychic energy blew the two pokemon into the walls of his building. Little did Mewtwo realize that Nick's remaining pokemon had moved into new locations to continue attacking.

"Charizard, flamethrower! Kingler use water gun!" Nick called out as both pokemon revealed themselves to be standing on both sides of Mewtwo.

Both of them released their attacks. One a stream of fire and the other a stream of water. The two attacks collided with the psychic type, creating a cyclone of fire and water around Mewtwo.

Mewtwo watched from the inside of the cyclone as the two attacks swirled around his body. "These fools, believing that they actually have a chance," Mewtwo said while sighing. Once again, he lifted his hands up as he pushed the cyclone back into its original two streams.

"Quick, get out of there!" Nick called out once he saw what was about to happen.

There was no time to move however. Both of Nick's pokemon were struck directly as they tried to dodge their own attacks. Thanks to the increase in power due to Mewtwo's psychic attack, both pokemon were defeated upon impact.

"All I need is a few more seconds," Nick muttered to himself as he watched Kegan start to get back onto his feet. Thinking fast, he opened up his bag and found Eevee inside curled up into a ball.

"Vee?" It asked as he peeked outside of the bag. Since first feeling Mewtwo's presence, Eevee had acted differently. Immediately he had hid inside of Nick's backpack and stayed there since.

"Eevee, I know this guy isn't like anything we've ever faced before, he just took every attack like it was nothing, but I need your help right now," Nick stated as he pulled the normal type out of his backpack. "If we don't do something, who knows what will happen to Kegan."

Eevee looked over at the field where Mewtwo was standing and saw Kegan on the ground, stumbling onto his feet. Seeing the innocent boy in danger, Eevee shook any fear he had out of his body and jumped out of Nick's hands.

"Eevee, vee!" It cried out before looking at Nick.

"Great, we only have one shot at this," Nick stated as he looked over at Mewtwo. "Okay, Eevee, put everything you've got into a shadow ball!"

Eevee opened his mouth as he fired off the sphere of ghostly energy. Hoping to catch Mewtwo off guard, Eevee fired off the attack while the psychic type was looking at the ground.

The shadow ball shot across the field and looked like it was going to be a direct hit. However, at the last second, Mewtwo caught the attack with his bare hand and crushed the ball. The ghostly energy dispersed in several directions before finally dying.

"You call that your best effort?" Mewtwo asked as he lifted his head, only to see a second shadow ball heading his way. Moving quickly, the psychic type knocked the attack away only to be met with two more.

"Just hang in there a few more seconds, Eevee," Nick mentally asked his partner as he watched Kegan start to walk away from the field. The boy was now only a few steps away from Magby when Nick heard Mewtwo speak.

"Enough!" He cried out before crushing one more shadow ball. "You dare continue to oppose me?" He asked Eevee only to be met with another shadow ball. "Very well, then your fate is sealed," he stated coldly as he raised his hand.

In the palm of Mewtwo's hand, a large black sphere started to form. To Nick, it seemed just like Eevee's shadow ball from earlier, but also different at the same time. Unlike Eevee's attack, Mewtwo's sphere seemed to have blue sparks of electricity running around the outside of it.

Mewtwo threw the attack forward as he aimed right for Eevee. Nick looked over as he saw Eevee start to shake. Knowing exactly what was going through Eevee's head due to his own experience from Magmar and ran over to the normal type.

Moving quickly, Nick picked Eevee up in his arms before turning away from the attack. Unknown to Nick, however, was the immense strength of Mewtwo's blast. The shadow ball connected with Nick's back, but didn't explode on contact. Instead, the sphere continued to push Nick until he felt his whole body lift off of the ground. Forcing himself to look down, Nick noticed that the shadow ball was now traveling upwards and out of the stadium roof.

"That human took the hit," Mewtwo thought as he watched the boy disappear from his sight. "That fool, why would he throw his life away for someone else?" He thought before facing the group that remained before him.

"There was no need to do that!" Ash yelled as he lost sight of the attack. "He never tried to hurt you, Nick was trying to protect that boy!"

"I had no intention of attacking the boy," Mewtwo stated as he stood there emotionlessly. "It was his own fault for stepping into the battle. If he had let the attack hit, he'd be with all of you right now," he stated before smirking. "Of course, soon it won't even matter."

"Bruteroot and I won't let you hurt anyone else," Corey told the psychic type as he stared him down.

"And we'll blow away that Blastoise, won't we Shellshocker!?" Neesha added in as her Blastoise walked forward

"He may not have a nickname, but I still have... Charizard!" Ash stated hesitantly, almost as if he was nervous about something. "Charizard, I choose you!" He stated before tossing out a pokeball.

The fire lizard emerged from the device and immediately shot out a small flame. The fire type believed that this whole thing was a waste of time. Turning his attention to Mewtwo, Charizard fired off a flamethrower right at the psychic type.

Mewtwo raised his hand with ease right as the attack was about to hit. Just like all of the other pokemon from before, Mewtwo blocked the attack with ease.

Ash moved back a little once he saw how Charizard reacted. "Charizard, I never told you to start," he muttered as the fire type continued his attack.

Mewtwo quickly extinguished the flames as he used his psychic powers to transport some water from the pool. Dropping the liquid onto the fire and causing it to turn into steam. "Your Charizard is poorly trained," the psychic type stated as he looked at the fire type.

"I underestimated you last time, but that won't happen again!" Corey shouted from across the field, his Venusaur walking out onto the field.

Mewtwo merely looked at his Venusaur as the grass type knew exactly what his master wanted. Moving slowly, the cloned starter moved onto the field.

"We'll start things off," Corey told Mewtwo before pointing at the cloned Venusaur. "Go, Bruteroot, use razor leaf!"

"Saur!" The grass type cried out before a swarm of sharp leaves flew from its back. The leaves spun as they approached the clone, making the edges even more dangerous.

"Vine whip," Mewtwo countered, sounding as if he was bored.

The clone immediately shot two vines from the plant on its back and went to work. The vines managed to shred each and every blade from the razor leaf and turn it into confetti. The attack didn't stop there however, the vines continued to move as they shot right at Bruteroot.

Sweating, Corey looked on as the vines managed to stop every blade from the attack. "Grr, Bruteroot, counter with your own vine whip!"

Bruteroot nodded in agreement as vines started to protrude from his own plant. However, before they could be launched, Bruteroot felt something wrap around his body. Looking around, he noticed that the clone had already wrapped its vines around his body.

The cloned Venusaur then lifted Bruteroot into the air before tossing him across the field. The throw was so strong that Bruteroot was now in the dining hall again, the floor all torn up due to him skidding upon impact with the ground.

"Bruteroot!" Corey cried out as he raced over to his pokemon. Kneeling down next to the defeated grass type, Corey helped his starter as much as he could. "Take it easy, you gave it your best shot," he told the grass type once he saw it wince in pain.

"Saur!" It cried out, wanting to continue the battle against his clone. The grass type tried to stand up, only to collapse from pain.

"Just rest now," He told his pokemon before rubbing its back. "You battled hard, we were just caught off guard by the speed of that vine whip."

"Well, it looks like I'm up. Go, Shellshocker!" Neesha ordered as the turtle walked onto the field.

This time, Mewtwo didn't even look at his three pokemon this time. Instead, he just pointed towards the field, his Blastoise already knowing it was his turn.

"We won't hold back!" Neesha stated as she griped the necklace around her neck. "I won't let you destroy this world! Shellshocker, hydro pump!

Without even issuing a command, the cloned Blastoise responded to the attack. Tucking all of its appendages into its shell, the clone started to spin at an alarming rate. Upon impact with the hydro pump, the now spinning Blastoise managed to slide right through it before heading for Shellshocker.

"Quick, meet it half way with your own rapid spin!" Neesha commanded, facing an open palm at the field.

Shellshocker tucked himself into its shell as he started to spin right for the clone Blastoise. The two water types met head on as their two spinning shells collided. What at first seemed to be an equally matched showing of strength quickly changed. Shellshocker was easily overpowered by his clone, having his whole body pushed backwards until he was flung right into the side of the stadium.

"Shellshocker!" Neesha cried out as she ran over to her injured pokemon. "Please say something to me!"

"You better forfeit, Ash, those clones are too powerful!" Misty stated, worried about Charizard sustaining any injuries like the other two did.

"I'm not giving up," Ash replied as he looked over at Mewtwo. "Not as long as he plans on wiping out all of the pokemon and people on Earth. Besides, I'm the only one left."

Once more, Mewtwo pointed out towards the field as his third and final starter ran onto it. Once on the field, Charizard stretched his wings and fired a small blast of flames into the sky.

Seeing this display annoyed Charizard, only he could act that way. The fire type quickly ran onto the field, ready to show up his clone. As he passed his trainer, Charizard could hear him saying something.

"Just remember," Ash started to say to his fire type. "Use your speed, not power and you'll win. Those other clones moved too fast for Venusaur and Blastoise to even react," Ash explained as Charizard roared. "Alright, go!" He cried out, pointing towards the field. "And please, listen to me..." he muttered to himself.

Taking off into the sky, Charizard fired off a flamethrower attack while he had the height advantage. The cloned Charizard wasn't going to sit back however and flew up after him, dodging the stream of fire.

Once both pokemon were in the sky, Charizard continued to fire off one flamethrower after another. However, the clone proved to be more than capable at dodging, managing to avoid every single blast.

Moving swiftly, the cloned Charizard flew right into Ash's Charizard, punching him square in the back before dodging a flamethrower at point blank.

Ash was watching from down on the ground and he didn't like what he saw. "Charizard, you have to mix it up a little!" Ash called out, hoping that the fire type would listen to him. "Your flamethrower isn't working, try something else!"

Charizard however had no time to react as he was met with a headbutt to the gut, temporarily winding him before he recovered. Charizard then swung his tail as his clone, only to have his cloned version dodge with ease. Seeing this, Charizard lunged at his clone, only to miss again.

"Can't Charizard move any quicker?" Misty watched as the fire type was just being toyed with.

"Ash you have to be careful," Brock stated as he watched from the other room. "That clone is too fast."

"Pika..." Pikachu muttered, agreeing with both of Ash's friends.

Charizard continued on with his losing effort, firing off a barrage of flamethrowers only to have every one of them miss. Trying to get the height advantage, both Charizards flew higher into the sky until they were both miles above the castle.

"Charizard!" Ash called out as he watched the two fire types fly out of his view. "I can't see him anymore, they've flown too high."

Charizard stared at his counterpart as they were both flying in front of the moon now. Thinking quickly, Charizard fired off another flamethrower, only to miss again.

The clone was now starting to have enough of this fight as he charged at Charizard and struck him right in the chest. After hitting Charizard, the clone circled around before striking the flame pokemon once more.

This last hit was different however, the clone managed to grab ahold of Charizard and placed him in a full nelson before flying back down towards the castle. Picking up speed with their descent, it seemed that the battle would be over shortly.

Ash could now make out the image of two Charizards now flying back down towards the ground, or one flying and the other squirming to get free. "Charizard, if you use flamethrower at this distance then he can't dodge it!"

"Don't underestimate my clones," Mewtwo told the boy as he too watched the descent.

Charizard decided to try Ash's idea and opened his mouth. In no time, the familiar stream of fire emerged from his mouth, but to his surprise, the clone dodged the blast.

"No way, he dodged it," Ash stated as he watched his pokemon continue to struggle before he got a worried expression. "Charizard's in trouble!"

"Finish it!" Mewtwo ordered as his cloned Charizard entered the stadium again.

As the two Charizards finished their descent, the clone let go of his full nelson before just pushing Charizard towards the ground with his hands. The fire type was shoved into the ground with tremendous force as a crater formed where the impact was.

To Mewtwo's surprise, Charizard stood back up as he climbed out of the crater. "This pokemon, he just doesn't give up. Is this because of his trainer?" Mewtwo asked himself, only to see Charizard collapse from his fatigue.

"Oh, Charizard!" Ash cried out, wrapping his arms around the flame pokemon's head. "Please be okay, Charizard."

Mewtwo however didn't seem fazed by the trainers and their sincerity to their pokemon. "As the victor, I will not only destroy you all but I will also claim my prize," he stated as three spheres of purple energy formed around him.

He spheres immediately transformed into an object that looked just like a normal pokeball, but was completely black instead.

"We never agreed on any prize!" Ash called out, still looking over his Charizard. The fire type had been pretty banged up during the fight and had several marks to show it.

"Your pokemon are the prize," Mewtwo explained before the three black pokeballs soared right for the three defeated pokemon.

Ash had no time to react as the first dark ball hit his Charizard, absorbing it in a red light before he was pulled into the capture device. "Hey wait!" Ash yelled out as he tried to grab the ball.

The same outcome happened with the other two final evolved forms of the Kano starters. Both trainers tried to stop the process, but were unable to do anything before their pokemon disappeared.

Misty stepped forward s she held onto the strange looking creature from before. "What are you going to do with those pokemon!?" She asked as she was worried for their wellbeing.

Mewtwo looked on calmly, almost as if he was tired of the whole situation. "I will extract their DNA to create clones for myself. They will all be safe on this island as my storm destroys the whole planet," he explained while summoning a large amount of the dark balls.

"You can't do this!" Brock yelled, wishing there was something he could do but knew there wasn't.

"Yeah, Mewtwo," Ash added as he ran to the center of the field. "We won't let you get away with this!"

"Do not attempt to defy me!" The psychic type stated as his eyes glowed blue.

The same blue from Mewtwo's eyes quickly surrounded Ash before he was launched backwards, colliding into Brock, who had come outside not too long ago. Both of the trainers landed on the ground as they tried to recover.

"This is my world now," Mewtwo proudly stated as all of the dark balls flew in different directions.

Getting off of the ground, Ash and his friends quickly made a break for it. "Let's go!" Ash cried out as they ran back into the main room.

Looking behind them, Ash noticed that all five of Nick's pokemon had already been caught. None of them had even put up a fight having been too exhausted from stalling Mewtwo. Ash then looked forward as a swarm of the balls passed him. It seemed like for every one he knocked down, two more emerged.

One by one, each pokemon was quickly captured as the dark balls all swarmed at each pokemon.

"Gyarados!" Fergus cried out as his trusty partner was taken from him. "No, Golduck, Seadra! Give them back!" He cried out as each of his pokemon were quickly captured.

Corey's pokemon weren't doing well either. "Guys, just stay together and watch each other's backs!" Corey told them as they formed a circle. However, Sandslash, Scyther and Hitmonlee were quickly caught by the balls.

"Grr, g-get away!" Corey yelled as he swatted at the pokeballs, only to have his two remaining pokemon caught as well. "Guys!"

Neesha watched as her pokemon were also swarmed with the dark balls. Standing next to her Rapidash and Vileplume, the young girl swatted as many away as she could, but was no help as they were all caught.

Elsewhere, Bulbasaur and Squirtle were fighting back. Using their vine whip and water gun respectively, Ash's other two starter pokemon were repelling the oncoming balls.

Slowly, the columns in the room started to rise off of the ground as all of the balls containing pokemon headed right for them. Underneath them was a tunnel that led to somewhere underground.


"M-Magby, I think this would be a good time to run," Kegan said to his partner, scared out of his mind due to Mewtwo attacking him and now all of the chaos going on.

"Magby, mag!" The fire type stated as he blew a few balls away. He knew this was a bad idea all along and tried to convince Kegan, but it didn't work out.

Kegan then saw one ball emerge from behind the fire type and tried to stop it in time. "Watch out, Magby!" He cried, only to miss the ball and see the live coal pokemon be caught.

The dark ball then flew off, joining all of the others that already had caught pokemon.

"Hey!" Kegan yelled as he chased after the ball. "Give me Magby back! Give him now!" He cried, only to fall down the hole while not paying attention.


Ash ran through the swarm of dark pokeballs, trying to think of a way to protect his pokemon. Looking at the scene before him, he frowned at the situation before a thought came to him. "Hey, I know," he started to say before reaching for his pokeballs. "Mewtwo can't capture them if they're already inside their pokeballs. Bulbasaur, Squirtle, return!" He cried out as his two pokemon were recalled into their devices.

"Don't bother, it is no use to try and stall," Mewtwo stated as he watched Ash's attempt to protect his pokemon.

Ash had a look of joy on his face as he thought he bested Mewtwo. That look of joy soon to shock and surprise as the dark balls quickly captured the pokeballs in his hands. "What?" He stated as he tried to grab the dark balls, only to miss.

"I told you it was futile to try and escape my power," Mewtwo continued as he stood there with the same expression.

"Never mind the pokeballs, just carry them away!" Brock cried out as he picked up his Vulpix. Misty, Nurse Joy and himself started to run away only to be followed by the dark balls.

"Ahhh!" Misty cried out as she saw her Psyduck be captured. "Give me back my Psyduck!" She then quickly opened her backpack and placed the strange pokemon from before inside of it. "You'll be safe in here, Togepi."

Brock, in his shock, didn't pay attention as a dark ball snuck up on him as well. "Ahh, Vulpix!" He cried out as the fire type was caught as well.


"Pika pika pi," Pikachu panted as he ran away from all of the dark balls. "Pika pi," he stated before jumping up onto the table. The electric type then saw a whole swarm of the devices coming right at him, one was about to hit him when an arm blocked it.

"Don't worry, Pikachu, I won't let him take you," Ash stated before noticing another wave of the balls coming straight for his pokemon. "Ahh," he muttered out of shock before blocking Pikachu.

"Pika!" The electric mouse cried out in concern as he watched Ash take every hit.

"R-run, Pikachu!" Ash yelled as he continued to block the dark balls. Pikachu did as he was told, breaking into a sprint to try and escape.

Pikachu started to zigzag his way around the room, dodging each set of balls that came his way, only to have another set coming from another direction. Eventually, the electric type found his way to the center of the room and the staircase that vacated the area.

"Pi, pi, pi," he muttered as a wave of the capture devices surrounded him before all rushing at him. With a perfectly timed jump, Pikachu managed to dodge all of the balls before running up the staircase.

"Pikachu!" Ash called out as he tried to catch up to his best friend. Just then, all of the devices swarmed towards Pikachu, the electric type being the last pokemon left.

"Pika, Chu!" The electric mouse screamed as he unleashed a thunderbolt attack on the dark balls. The twenty or so devices were hit by the electrical shocks and fell back towards the ground. "Pika, pi," he muttered as he tried to catch his breath, only to see another wave coming for him.

Pikachu continued his escape, running up the staircase and stopping every few seconds to release another thunderbolt on the capture devices. Despite his best try, Pikachu was unable to get away, always being followed by the devices no matter how many he destroyed.

Seeing this, Ash picked up his own pace as he continued to ascend the staircase. "Keep running Pikachu!" He yelled out as he pushed through his own exhaustion.

"Pi, pika, pika," Pikachu continued to pant as he dodged each ball that shot towards him.

"Hold on just a little longer, I'm almost there!" Ash cried out, only to slip on the staircase and start to fall. Sliding down the staircase, Ash found himself now hanging over the edge. Using every ounce of strength he had left, Ash pulled himself up before running to his best friend again.

"Chuuu!" Pikachu cried out once more, launching his largest electric shock out. The blast managed to knock all of the devices down, allowing the electric type time to rest. He would need it too, as right after the attack, Pikachu drooped to ground panting heavily. Sweat ran down the sides of his face as he tried to catch his breath.

The rest wasn't long however as two more devices showed up and lunged at Pikachu. Rolling to his left, the electric mouse dodged them, bust accidently rolled over the edge.

"Pika!" He screamed out as he started to fall towards the pool located in the room. Right as he fell, even more dark balls followed him over the ledge.

"Pikachu!" Ash cried out before jumping after him. Both figures were now descending towards the ground as a swarm of the devices followed them. "Hang on, I'll catch you!" He cried out, extending his arms to try and catch Pikachu, only to be robbed when a dark ball hit the pokemon first.

"Pika!" The electric type cried out as he was sucked into the device.

Lunging out fast, Ash grabbed a hold of the ball containing Pikachu and braced himself for the rest of the fall. Crashing face first into the pool of water, Ash lost his grip on the ball as it floated up towards the surface. Moving quickly, Ash followed it through the water before both of them were back above the water.

Ash jumped out of the pool as he followed the device right to the column and dove for the ball, sliding right into the hole after it. "You're not going to get Pikachu!" He screamed out, his voice echoing through the tunnel.


Elsewhere, Nick and Eevee continued their ride on Mewtwo's shadow ball as they were now over the ocean. "Well, Eevee, I guess this is it," Nick muttered as he tightened his grip on the normal type.

"Vee?" Eevee asked, wondering why Nick was so quick to give up hope. The normal type could still see the castle from where they were currently.

"I know, this isn't like me is it," Nick said, knowing exactly what Eevee was thinking. "But, put it this way, the shadow ball is starting to disintegrate. Sooner or later we'll start our descent into the water."

Eevee looked down towards the ocean and noticed what Nick meant by it. The sea was filled with gigantic waves that were as tall as buildings. There was no way they could swim with waves like that. Not only that, but the sky was even darker than before, only lighting up when flashes of lightning appeared. The wind also picked up, the gusts becoming so strong that it actually moved the shadow ball a little.

"But, even if this is the end, I just want to say thanks," Nick said as he made Eevee face him.

"Eevee?" The evolution pokemon replied, tilting his head to the side.

"Yeah, you heard right," Nick replied as he smiled. "I wanted to thank you. Without you, I couldn't, no, we couldn't have accomplished everything we have so far. We're a team, none of this would even be possible without you."

"Eevee, vee," the normal type responded before licking Nick's cheek.

"I'm serious, on the day we met, if you didn't want to travel with me then I would have needed to wait another month to begin my journey," Nick began as he noticed the attack start to shrink away. "We never would have met everyone else and then who knows if I even would have won eight badges. So, thank you Eevee," he stated as the shadow ball finally disappeared.

"Vee!" Eevee cried out in shock as the duo started to drop towards the ocean.

"D-don't worry, Eevee," Nick said as he pulled the normal type closer to his body, covering his eyes so he wouldn't see the fall. "I'll make sure nothing happens to you."

Off in the distance, the same creature from before the duo falling towards the ocean and flew over to them. "Mew?" It asked itself before recognizing Nick as one of the people in the toy boat. "Mew, mew, mew!" It happily cried out, believing that it had a new toy to play with.

As Mew flew closer, it noticed the looks of fear on their faces and decided now wasn't the best time to play around. "Mew, mew," it muttered before all three of their bodies glowed white and vanished.

"Don't worry Eevee, it's almost over!" Nick yelled out, only to feel himself land on concrete. "Huh, where are we?" He asked himself, only to see Mewtwo's castle again.

"Vee, Eevee!" The normal type cried out as he ran back through the front doors.

"Eevee, hold on!" Nick cried out, following his partner. "How'd we end up here?" He thought to himself before smiling. "Doesn't matter. Whoever saved us, thank you!" He cried out, the front doors slamming behind him.

"Mew, mew!" The psychic type cried out in joy before doing a somersault in midair. It was happy for doing a good deed, but now it had to go back to where it was previously. In a flash of white light, Mew was now in the air above the stadium. It watched as Mewtwo had all of the remaining dark balls disappear.


"W-what's that machine doing to my Magby?" Kegan asked two figures, one male and one female.

The male was dressed in a white Team Rocket uniform with a black undershirt along with a purple belt, black gloves and black boots. He had violet colored hair that was parted down the middle with the exception of a single bang.

The woman had the exact same uniform, but instead of pants she instead had a skirt on. Her shirt was also a little smaller as you could see a little of her waist. Her hair was crimson however, and shot backwards and curved downwards until it passed her waist.

With them was a Meowth who had a piece of his fur already put in there. "It seems to be making copies of the pokemon," Meowth stated as he looked at the clone of himself that was in a tube.

"C-copies!?" Kegan asked as he didn't seemed shocked at all by the talking Meowth. They then all looked at a strange machine as they heard it starting up again. It almost looked like an Omastar that lacked a mouth and eyes. Also, the tentacles were all in front of the shell instead of to the sides.

"I don't know, but look, it's starting up again," Jessie stated as pictures of pokemon filled the screen again.

"Look, there goes an Alakazam," the duo stated, only for the silhouette to actually be of a Scyther. "Now a Dewgong. And Vileplume," they stated, getting them correctly.

"Just as I thought," Meowth said as he looked at the tubes attached to the machine. One by one they were being filled by the same pokemon that appeared on the screen. "This machine is making copies of the pokemon."

"B-but, where's the originals?" Kegan asked as he didn't see Magby anywhere.

"Beats, me," Meowth replied as he looked back towards the monitor before a grunt was heard coming from down the belt.

"Huh, what was that?" James asked as they looked down the tunnel.

Appearing before them was Ash, who was holding his head in pain as he was riding the belt. "Aughhh," he muttered to himself.

"Look there, it's the twerp!" Jessie cried out just as Ash stood up.

Gaining his balance on the moving belt, Ash broke into a sprint as he raced for the ball containing Pikachu. "I don't have time for your dumb motto today," he told them before diving into the machine.

As he dove, Ash saw the one device he wanted. He quickly grabbed onto it just as multiple mechanical arms also reached for it. Using all of his strength he tried to fight back the machine, only to be slowly pulled in with Pikachu.

"Who's that pokemon?" Jessie and James simultaneously asked before the silhouette became a Pikachu. "It's Pikachu!"

"Let go of Pikachu you stupid machine!" Ash cried out as even more mechanical arms joined in on the tug of war game. Due to their programming, the machine also mistook Ash for a pokemon, grabbing a hold of him as well. Finally having enough of the situation, Ash pulled on the dark ball with all of his might, breaking some of the arms. "Give me back my Pikachu!"

The arms started to lift him up as they extracted the DNA of Pikachu from the device. Running out of ideas, Ash started to yank and bite at the arms until he was back on the ground.

On the outside, Team Rocket and Kegan watched as the machine started to malfunction. Sparks started to fly off of the machine and even the monitor shut down. "What's happening!?" Meowth asked as he watched the meltdown.

Ash continued to force his way out of the machine, running with all his might against both the moving belt and the arms trying to constrain him. "Arghhh!" He cried out as he forced his muscles to move him forward. Finally, with one last push, Ash managed to break free as he fell forward.

Once free, the device opened up and released Pikachu from its hold. "Pikachu!" Ash cried out with joy as the electric mouse ran to his trainer and embraced him. "I'm so glad you're okay," Ash told his best friend, unaware of the malfunctioning machine behind him.

"Look, the copies are hatching!" Jessie stated as all of the pokemon held within the tubes were released.

One by one, each of the clones made their way towards the exit as they left their containment tubes. "They're fabulous fakes," James added in as the last of them left were released.

"But, where are the real ones?" Ash asked as he looked back at the machine.

"Yeah, I want my Magby!" Kegan screamed as he kicked the sparking machine. "Give him back!"

"I wonder if they ever feel-" James started to say only to be cut off by Meowth.

"Clonesome," the cat scratch pokemon stated, making a poorly timed pun.

"Woah!" Kegan yelled as he jumped backward from some sparks. "That was close," he muttered right as the machine exploded before his eyes. "And that was lucky."

Following the explosion, all of the dark balls flew out of the machine, having been stored in it. Upon contact with the ground, all of the devices opened up, releasing the captured pokemon.

"I-it's the pokeoriginals," Jessie said, this time being the pun maker.

Two more devices crashed onto the ground, but out of them came two pokeballs. Both of the pokeballs opened up on their own, revealing Squirtle and Bulbasaur.

"Squirtle," the water type said before jumping into Ash's arms.

"Squirtle you're back!" Ash cried out as Bulbasaur started to come through as well.

"Bulba..." It muttered, a little sleepy after the whole ordeal. Ash, Squirtle and Pikachu called out to the grass type, snapping him out of his trance. "Saur?" It asked before running to its trainer. "Bulbasaur!"

"You're all okay!" Ash cried out as he embraced all three of his pokemon. His look of joy soon changed to a serious one once he remembered about Mewtwo. "It's time to end this."


Standing in the middle of the stadium, Mewtwo had forced everyone who remained up against the bleachers with the help of his three cloned starters. "Humans, you have served your purpose. For that, I am sparing your lives, behold," he told them as the locked doors opened up, revealing the storm that was taking place away from the island. "However, you cannot escape your fate. The hour of my vengeance draws near."

Blaine, having woken up since everything went down, walked forward as he tried to talk to his creation. "Mewtwo, it doesn't have to be like this, we can work together to create a better future," he tried to reason only for it to fall on deaf ears.

"Silence, I have heard that lie one too many times before," Mewtwo stated as a small explosion was heard in the background. "Perfect timing," he muttered as all of the clones entered the room. "Behold, with my clone balls I created the ultimate beings. With people and pokemon eliminated, clones will rule the world."

"You can't do this, I won't let you," A voice stated through the smoke cloud before revealing himself. The figure walked out of the smoke, showing that it was Ash along with all of the pokemon.

"I-it's Ash!" Misty cried out in joy.

"Alright, and he has all the pokemon!" Brock added in as every single pokemon walked in.

"Psyduck!" Misty cried out again

"And Vulpix!" Brock added as his fire type walked out of the smoke.

"It is useless to challenge me," Mewtwo spoke as he stared down those who opposed him.

"It's not going to end like this, we won't let it," Ash responded before turning his hat backwards. "You're mine," he stated, running right at Mewtwo. "Ahhh!" He yelled, about to throw a punch at the psychic type but was blown back by psychic energy. He quickly got back up onto his feet and charged again, but this time he was flung high up into the air.

Ash braced himself as he was about to crash into the stone structures in the building, but instead found himself landing on a soft bubble.

"What?" Mewtwo asked, unaware that Mew was at his castle this whole time. "Can it be?" He asked himself as he watched the psychic type play with Ash by popping the bubble he was on.

"Mew!" It cried out in joy as he created a new bubble to jump on. Just as the psychic type was starting to have fun, a shadow ball came crashing through the bubble and popped it. Looking down at the stadium, Mew noticed that another shadow ball was coming right at him and dodged it by teleporting out of the way.

Mewtwo continued to launch one shadow ball right after the other, but missed every time due to Mew teleporting. The new species pokemon reappeared in front of his clone, laughing at the fun time he just had.

"What is that?" Brock asked as he watched the psychic type fly down.

"I don't know, I've never seen it before," Misty replied as she watched the same creature.

"Mew, so we finally met," Mewtwo stated, distaste in every word he spoke,

"Mew," the psychic type responded playfully.

"Mew?" Fergus asked as he thought back. "As in the pokemon from myths said to have created every other pokemon on Earth?"

"What are you talking about Fergus?" Corey asked as the whole group looked at him.

"You heard me right. Growing up, my grandparents used to tell me myths about pokemon and how the world came to be. There were a few crazy ones, but the one I always remembered was about a creature known as Mew. It was stated that Mew is responsible for creating every single pokemon ever."

"You're right, Fergus," Blaine stated as he looked at the young man. "That is the mythical pokemon Mew. I know, I once searched for it."

"But, why is it here?" Neesha asked as she looked back to the two psychic types.

"It must not have taken a liking to Mewtwo creating the clones," Blaine stated before seeing Mew's childlike attitude. "Or it just stumbled here by pure luck."

Hearing his name called so many times, Mew looked in the direction of the few humans at the castle. "Mew?" It asked, unsure if he was being called for or if they were just talking about it.

"Look at me, Mew," Mewtwo demanded, managing to get the childlike psychic type to look. "I may have been cloned from your DNA, but now I will prove that Mewtwo is better than the original, superior to Mew," he stated as Mew performed all sorts of tricks while floating in the air.

"So, the ultimate creation-" Corey started to say, only to be cut off.

"Is a clone himself," Neesha finished for him as the whole group looked at the two psychic types.

Mewtwo started to lift off of the ground, his body glowing blue thanks to his psychic powers before fading away. Both pokemon flew high above the sky with Mewtwo chasing after Mew.

Ash watched from his seat on the statue what was supposed to be a battle, but what looked to be more like a game of tag. Mewtwo would continue to launch shadow balls, while Mew would dodge them and have Mewtwo continue to follow him around.

"Why do you flee?" Mewtwo asked as Mew hid behind a pole, thinking that they were playing hide-and-seek. "Are you afraid to see which of us is greater?"

Mew didn't respond, instead he flew off with Mewtwo following behind him. Mewtwo was starting to grow frustrated with their little game and attacked Mew while he was flying slowly. The shadow ball managed to hit Mew right in his face, sending the psychic type flying backwards and right into Mewtwo's castle and kicked up dirt.

Everyone looked on with shock, they couldn't believe that Mew was defeated in one hit. But, just as they thought it was over, out of the smoke came Mewtwo's original shadow ball but stronger. The blast struck Mewtwo and caused him to crash right into his bleachers.

"So, you do have some fight in you?" Mewtwo asked as he got up from the attack. Mew was also flying back down to the center of the stadium. "But I have no time for games, destiny is at hand. Who will rule, my super pokemon or your group of spineless inferior pokemon?"

"Mew," the psychic type responded, realizing that this wasn't a game anymore.

Mewtwo smirked at his adversary, "we were created with powers far stronger than the originals."

"Mew. Mew, mew, mew. Mew, mew. Mew" The psychic type stated as he flipped around in the air.

Elsewhere, Team Rocket and Kegan had finally made it above ground and witnessed what was going on.

"Hmm, Mew's got a good point," Meowth stated, getting confused looks from his two friends.

"What's it saying?" Jessie asked as she watched Mew.

"Mew says you don't prove anything by showing off a bunch of special powers and that a pokemon's real strength comes from the heart," Meowth explained to the group as they watched Mew dance around in the sky.

Mewtwo didn't enjoy that answer and was now looking even more upset. "My clones don't need special powers to prove their worth," Mewtwo explained as he shot a shadow ball at Mew, but missed again, instead hitting the statue Ash was on.


Running down the hallway, Nick stopped for a second when he heard an explosion. "Something's happening in there, Eevee, we need to hurry."

"Vee," the normal type responded as he jumped onto Nick's shoulder.

Now without having to wait for Eevee, Nick could run even faster and hopefully make it back in time. "I don't know how much help we'll be, but we're on our way," he said out loud, hoping the others knew.


Stones started to fall from the statues as they continued to get damaged from Mewtwo's failed attacks. Team Rocket and Kegan watched as stones were now falling around them. Moving quickly, the four of them ran across the stadium to a safer place.

"M-Magby!" Kegan yelled out before stopping completely. He then ran over to the live coal pokemon and embraced him in a hug. "I was so worried. I looked everywhere for you, but I couldn't find you," he explained while pulling on Magby's arm. "Come on, we need to get out of here."

"Mag, magby," the fire type explained as he pulled his arm back. The live coal pokemon then glared down his clone, ready to fight with it.

"Magby, what are you doing?" Kegan asked as he stood there.

"Hey, kid, get out of there!" Meowth called out. Knowing that Magby wasn't listening, Kegan decided to leave him for now even though he didn't want to.


"I will block all of the pokemon's special abilities using my psychic powers," Mewtwo explained to his counterpart as they looked at each other. "Now we will see who triumphs, go!" He yelled out as all of the pokemon charged from both sides with the exception of a few.

"We finally made it!" Nick yelled as he rushed into the room. Upon seeing the chaos, Nick couldn't help but feel sad for the situation. There was no need for this senseless act of fighting. "Hey, you two with the white shirts, what's happening?" He asked as he walked over to Team Rocket.

"Both sides are preparing for a lot trouble," Jessie stated as she watched the pokemon going at it.

"Not to mention that it'll be double the usual amount," James added in as he looked at both the clones and original pokemon.

"They're not trying to protect themselves from any devastation."

"Or even unite themselves within their very own nation."

"The least they could do is denounce the evils of truth and love."

"Or maybe just leave for the stars above?"

"James?"

"Yes, Jessie."

"If this was us we'd be blasting off at the speed of light."

"I think it's best if we surrender now and don't try to fight."

"Meowth, will you two shut up!" Meowth said, scratching both of their faces. Unknown to any of them, the three of them just accidently recited a variation of their motto.

"Where have I heard something just like that?" Nick asked himself before deciding that there was better things to be doing right now.


Ash meanwhile was climbing back up the statue as he was now hanging there due to Mewtwo's last attack. Once back on solid ground, he took a good look down at the field. The scene was horrible, all of the pokemon were brutally attacking each other. "This has to stop," he muttered before starting his descent off of the statue.

All of the pokemon were fighting each other with the intent of killing their opposite. All of them were strangling each other or biting them. Eventually, the pokemon were starting to become too tired. One by one, both clones and original pokemon started to collapse from fatigue.


"Pokemon aren't meant to fight," Nurse Joy stated sadly as she watched the event unfold. "Not like this, it's useless. What can come out of it?"

"Nothing but pain," Neesha answered even though everyone knew it.

"Why can't Mewtwo understand it's not right to force pokemon to battle this way," Brock asked as the pokemon who still stood continued battling.

"They're all living creatures. This just proves that fighting is wrong," Misty added in as even the pokemon too weak to fight tried to continue.

Blaine shook his head at the sight before him. "Mewtwo has been hurt far too greatly and it's all my fault. If I never gave the research to Dr. Smith, then Mewtwo never would have suffered."

"It wasn't your fault," Brock stated as he tried to comfort the gym leader. "You had no idea what they had planned."

"I wasn't ready for this kind of trouble," James muttered as he looked at the battle before him.

"Make that double," Jessie added in as even she couldn't handle it.

"Now I know just how horrible fighting really is," James explained as he slouched at the scene.

"Even the best of friends will fight sometimes, but not like this," Jessie said, copying Jame's action.

"I'll promise never to fight again if you do," He replied, as the duo embraced in a hug of sadness.

Off to the side, Meowth was caught off guard by the appearance of his own clone. "Ahh!" He shouted as he saw his clone sniffing him.

"Meoww," the clone stated, not having the ability to talk like his original. Right away, both Meowth pulled their claws out and were ready to do battle.

"What am I doing?" Meowth asked himself as he retracted his claws. His clone also stopped and decided to sit on the ground. "L-let's get something straight you copycat, you aren't going to push this Meowth around," he told the clone who was too busy scratching himself to care.

"Meow, meowww," the clone replied, giving Meowth a look showing just how little he cared about being a clone of someone else.

"You mean, we don't have to fight with each other? But how can I trust you, you was born different?" Meowth asked, still not sure if his clone could be trusted.

"Meow, meow," the clone replied as he looked at Meowth's claws.

Meowth looked down and realized what almost happened. "I almost made a clawful mistake. But how do I know you're not going to pull a fast one on me?"

"Meow, meow, meow," it stated again, this time looking up at the moon.

Following his clones eyes, Meowth noticed just how beautiful the moon was tonight and understood what his clone was saying. "You're right. We do have a lot in common. The same Earth, the same air, the same sky."

"Meow," the clone stated once more, not taking his eyes off of the moon.

"Yeah," Meowth agreed as he sat down next to the clone. "Maybe if we started looking at what's the same, instead of always looking at what's different, well, who knows?"

"Meow," the clone responded again, not really caring about what Meowth had to say.


"M-Magby!" Kegan cried out as he saw his partner fall to the ground. "Come on get up!" He stated before trying to run out to the fire type. Just as he was about to run out, he felt something holding him back.

"You can't go out there, it's too dangerous," Nick stated as he held Kegan back.

"But, he's hurt," Kegan cried, trying to hold back tears as in his eyes, they were uncool. "I can't just leave him out there."

Sighing, Nick let go of Kegan's arm and sprinted out to the exhausted Magby. "The things I do for other people," Nick muttered as he lifted Magby onto his back. "You know Eevee, today has been like, I don't know, maybe the third or fourth time I've nearly died this year," He joked as the normal type ran right alongside Nick. "Maybe next time we should just turn down any invitations from strange pokemon."

"Vee, eevee," he cried out in agreement as they reached Kegan.

"Magby!" Kegan cried as he hugged the fire type. "Please be okay."

"D-don't worry," Nick panted due to the sprint. "He should be fine, he's just exhausted. But still, this needs to end before something else happens," he stated as he looked out onto the field. It seemed even the clones and pokemon didn't want to fight anymore as tears filled their eyes with every hit. Nick then heard a thud and looked to his left, there getting up off the ground was Ash. "If anyone can figure out a way to stop this, it's him," Nick muttered before sprinting after Ash.


"We've got to stop this," Ash muttered as he was helped onto his feet by Brock and Misty.

Brock looked at him with a confused look on his face, they had already tried everything but nothing worked. "But how? All Mewtwo cares about is proving how strong those super clones are."

"I'd rather risk my life out in Mewtwo's storm than watch these Pokémon destroy each other," Nurse Joy stated as she watched a few more pokemon collapse from fatigue.

"Oh, me, too!" Misty added as they heard a loud thud. Looking over, they all witnessed Ash's Charizard collapse on the ground alongside its clone.

"Trust me," Nick started to say as he came up from behind the group. "That storm wasn't that fun," he stated before noticing that his Charizard was the last one standing before collapsing alongside the others. "Yes, my Charizard lasted the longest!" He cried out while doing a little fist pump.

"You're celebrating at a time like this!?" Misty yelled, obviously upset at Nick's reaction.

"H-hey, take it easy," Nick stated as he pushed the angry red head out of his face. "I got caught up in the moment. But, that egg thing with you, what was its name?"

Misty just glared at the boy. "You ask something like that at a time like now?" She asked, not really believing what was going on.

Nick shrugged his shoulders as he started to walk away. "Hey, I just figured I'd ask now in case we all die. I'm curious about something I've never seen before."

"Now isn't the time. I'll tell you after," Misty stated as she turned away from Nick.

"I wish there was some way to stop them. I don't know what to do!" Nurse Joy yelled out as even more pokemon collapsed.

Brock just shook his head as he watched the fighting continue. "I don't think they'll ever stop. Those Pokémon look like they're ready to fight to the death."

Misty shook her head alongside Brock as she couldn't take this anymore. "That's a fight that nobody's going to win."

"Someone's gotta take a stand. Someone's gotta say "no," and refuse to fight. Just like Pikachu," Ash stated as everyone looked at Ash's best friend refusing to fight even though his clone was smacking him across the face.

A sly smirk crossed Nick's face as he looked across the field. "Well, I always know of one pokemon who refuses to fight for me," he joked as he pointed over to his Dragonair. "He always sleeps no matter what, kind of funny that his clone does the same thing," he continued to joke until the feeling of pain rushed through his head. Looking over his shoulder, he could tell that Misty had just socked him with her fist. "Ow! What was that for?"

"You're still joking around despite how serious it is right now!?" She yelled at the rookie trainer.

"Samurai and Janine are more fun," Nick muttered as he continued to hold his head. "They would have given me a pity laugh."


Down on the field, the two psychic types continued their battle as their powerful auras surrounded their bodies. Blue for Mewtwo and pink for Mew. The two beings crashed into each other, only to bounce back. The duo then shot their aura at each other, causing an explosion.

Seeing the fighting only getting worse, Ash broke into a sprint as he headed right for the two psychic types.

Brock, noticing it first yelled out to him. "Ash, wait!"

Ash didn't listen, he didn't care what happened to himself he just had to stop the fighting. "You've gotta stop right now!" He yelled out, reaching the center of the battlefield right as the two psychic types launched their attacks. "Stooooop-!" He yelled out right as the blasts hit him. Upon impact, Ash's body started to glow before becoming rock hard and lifeless.

"Ash!" Misty cried out as she waited for him to get up.

Seeing that this wasn't ending well, Brock didn't know what to say. "Oh, no!" Was all he could yell out.

Even Pikachu was in shock. "Pika, pi!"

"That Fool!" Mewtwo cried out as he too had a look of shock and disbelief. "Trying to stop our battle... he risked his life. Just... like the others," he muttered, remembering the actions of the others.

Mew looked at the human, waiting for him to get back up as well. "Mew?" It asked, wondering why he didn't get back up.

Pikachu couldn't wait any longer. The electric type rushed over to his partner and sat next to him. "Pika, pi! Pikachu?" He asked, shaking Ash's body only to get no response. "Pika. Pika, pi." He cried out, continuing to shake Ash. "Pika, pi. Pika, Chu!" He continued to cry out, shocking Ash countless times only to get no response at all. Tears started to fill the electric type's eyes. "Pika, Chu, Chu, Chu!" Each time, more and more electricity would shock Ash, but there would be no result.

"Please, no..." Misty begged as she watched the lifeless body.

Pikachu continued to shock Ash, only to get no reaction. Finally giving up, Pikachu started to cry over his best friend's body. Joining him was every single pokemon in room, original and clone. They had all witnessed this boy's sacrifice and it was for them.

Then, to the surprise of everyone, the tears didn't hit the ground. Instead, they all flew right to Ash's body. The tears continued to fly towards Ash's body until he started to shine.

"Pika?" Pikachu asked as Ash's body started to shine even brighter before turning back to normal. "Pi?" he asked, shocked to see Ash. "Pika!" The electric type shouted, but this time it was out of joy as he leapt into Ash's arms.

"Huh?" Ash asked himself as he looked around, unsure of what just happened. "Oh, Pikachu!" He cried out happily once he noticed the electric mouse in his arms.

Mewtwo looked down at the scene before him, he was starting to think differently of some people as he thought back to the man who battled him and of the boy who took the attack head on for his pokemon. "A human sacrificed himself to save the Pokémon. I pitted them against each other, but not until they set aside their differences did I see the true power they all share deep inside."

"Mew," the psychic type agreed with his clone as he flew next to Mewtwo.

Mewtwo continued to fly next to Mew as he was having a revelation. "I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."

The two psychic types started to glow their respective colors before the ground started to glow white as well.

"M-Mewtwo, what's happening?" Ash asked as everyone on the island started to float as well.

"I am leaving this island for somewhere that my heart can learn what you and your friends know so well. I will remember everything that happened here and learn from this experience. But perhaps for everyone here it is best that you forget."

"No way!" Ash yelled as he went towards Mewtwo. "We deserve to remember this so that we can also learn from our own mistakes."

"I understand where you are coming from, but I do not trust everyone to keep my existence a secret," Mewtwo explained as he snapped his fingers. As he did so, everyone in the room except for Nick, Blaine and Ash were frozen in place. "You three will be the only ones to remember. Everyone else will have a memory of the events minus everything that happened following my entrance. They will have no knowledge of my existence either."Then, in a bright white light, everything disappeared.


Once the light faded, everyone, even Nick, Blaine and Kegan, were all back at the Old Shore Wharf docks. Outside, the weather was starting to let up, but the dock transportation building was still packed.

"Knew it," Nick muttered to himself as he looked at Blaine and Kegan. "Ready to meet up with the others?"

"But, you said they would meet us at Pallet Town?" Kegan asked as he saw the same boat from Cinnabar Island that he was supposed to be on. "H-how'd we beat them here?"

Nick and Blaine just looked at each other before giving sly grins. They both knew how it occurred, but they promised Mewtwo not to tell.

"So, you lost already?" Samurai jokingly teased as he nudged the side of Nick's waist.

"No, there was only a few trainers who actually made it. The storm turned out to be a lot worse than we thought," Nick explained as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Tell me about it," Janine said as she joined in. "If it wasn't for the fact that we left when we did, we'd be stuck on Cinnabar Island until tomorrow."

"Now, really, how far did you make it?" Samurai asked as he threw his arm around Nick's shoulder. "You were probably out first."

"No!" Nick yelled at his friend.

"Yeah you were," Kegan stated, 'remembering the battle' that happened.

Nick was about to argue when a memory of the battle came to him. "I didn't lose, Dragonair just wouldn't battle so I got disqualified!" He yelled at Kegan. "Man, Mewtwo made some good memories up," Nick thought to himself as another thought came to his head. "I was never told what that pokemon was!" He yelled out before tears rolled from his face.

"What?" Both Janine and Samurai asked as they looked at Nick and then to Blaine, hoping to get an answer.

"Long story, short, Nick saw a rare pokemon not native to Kanto. His pokedex lacked data on it and he forgot to ask the trainer what kind of pokemon it was," Blaine explained the whole situation with ease.


And the whole ordeal with Mewtwo is over. Mewtwo will not be around for the rest of Kanto, but will be making a few more appearances throughout Johto.

Now, I might not be updating for a few weeks. I want to write a few chapters ahead, so that way if I get busy during the week I still can update the story. What I have been doing up until now has been writing the story through the week and then reviewing and fixing it right when I finished writing each chapter. From now on, I want to have at least two extra chapters finished before I update.

Thank you for understanding. Also, thank you to everyone who has continued to support this story and for reading. Please leave a review telling me how I can improve and what you enjoyed.
