Chapter 17: Attack of the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R.

At the moment, April's cellphone began to ring. She answered it. "Hello?" asked April. "April, it's Charles. You and Vernon have to get downtown! Baxter Stockman is rampaging in the city with a giant three-headed M.O.U.S.E.R.! I need you to get it all on film!" said Charles. "You got it," said April. She turned to everybody. "Bad news everybody. Baxter Stockman is attacking the city in a humongous M.O.U.S.E.R.," said April. Everybody gasped. "We have to stop him!" said Leonardo. Leonardo turned to the Genesect Army. "Baxter Stockman is the one who brought you five back to life," said Leonardo. "We remember. Baxter, enemy," said the Red Genesect. "Yes. Baxter and all of Team Plasma are enemies. And they must be stopped," said Michelangelo. "We will help," said the Red Genesect. The TMNS, Splinter, Leatherhead, April, her Ninetales, Vernon, Casey, Ash & Co., their Pokémon, the female Mewtwo and the Red Genesect Army began to head to downtown. Ash and his Pikachu & Nancy rode on Charizard, Hilda & Zoroark rode on her Braviary and Iris & Axew rode on Dragonite. The rest rode in the Battle Shell or April's news van.

Donatello and Eric were still working on the generator when Donatello's Shell Phone began to ring. "What's that sound?" asked Eric. "That's my Shell Phone," said Donatello. Donatello got out his phone and answered it. "Hello?" asked Donatello. "Donnie, have you and Eric finished fixing the generator?" asked Leonardo. "Not quite yet. Why?" asked Donatello. "We need you right now. Baxter Stockman is destroying the city with a gigantic M.O.U.S.E.R.! And we're gonna need all the help we can get!" said Leonardo. "I'm gonna head back to the garage to get the Squirtle Blimp. I'll meet you at the center of town!" said Donatello. And he turned off the phone. "Eric, can you finish fixing the generator without me?" asked Donatello. "I can. Why?" asked Eric. "The city's under attack from a giant robot. My brothers need my support," said Donatello. "Okay. Go kick some robot butt," said Eric. "I intend to," said Donatello. He jumped onto his cheapskate and began to head back to the garage as fast as he could.

The heroes arrived to the center of New Tork and saw the three-headed M.O.U.S.E.R. was destroying everything in its path. Right now, it was chewing up a truck trailer with its right head. Baxter Stockman saw the TMNS, Ash and the other heroes. "Ah. Right on time," said Baxter. "You better stop this mindless destruction, or lots of people are gonna get hurt!" said Ash. "I'm afraid I can't. I must destroy you if I'm to secure both Mewtwos and the Genesect Army. And my Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. is going to help me complete this task," said Baxter. "You won't find us easy to capture since your cyborg hunter has been vanquished," said the female Mewtwo. "We shall see," said Baxter.

The Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. fired a couple of lasers at our heroes. The heroes managed to dodge it just in time. Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo threw a couple of Water Shurikens at the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. The attacks however only left minor scratches on the giant robot's armor. Charizard and Dragonite fired red hot flames from their mouth at the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. Both Fire Pokémon's attack, left some burns on the armor. Ash's Mewtwo fired a Shadow Ball, which the female Mewtwo fired an Aura Sphere. The Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. fired some lasers that countered them, destroying the attacks. "This robot was created to counter your power!" said Baxter. The Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. whacked both Mewtwos with two of its heads. The Genesect Army fired some Signal Beam attacks, but the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. blasted them with missiles. The Genesect Army were scattered around the streets by the missiles. The Rattata King and his loyal followers joined in the battle too. April and Vernon were filming the battle.

"April O'Neil of Channel Six UBC News reporting live from downtown New Tork. As you can behind me the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. that is destroying the city. Baxter Stockman himself is piloting, apparently, he's gone mad with power! Ash Ketchum, the recent Unova League Tournament Champion along with some allies are trying to stop Baxter's rampage!" said April. Braviary fired a Hyper Beam attack, which blasted off part of the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R.'s armor, making a hole. Both Nancy & April's Ninetales fired a tag attack of Ice Beam & Flamethrower at the giant robot. The other heroes were helping the people evacuate the city as well as help those who were trapped in collapsed buildings.

Then, some missiles hit the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. "What the?!" asked Baxter. He looked up and saw the one who fired them was Donatello, piloting the Squirtle Blimp. Donatello wore a pilot helmet & goggles and was strapped into the driver's seat. He lowered a ladder toward Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael. "Climb aboard," said Donatello. The three other Squirtles did. As soon as they got on, they put on some helmets & goggles of their own. The Squirtle Blimp began to fire multiple lasers and missiles at the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. "That's one cool vehicle!" said Ash. "Thanks," said Donatello. "This blimp makes Team Rocket's Meowth Balloon look like a party balloon!" said Hilda. "Pika!" said Pikachu.

The two Mewtwos, Latias and Meloetta lifted up some debris with their psychic powers and began to throw them at the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. One of the debris hit the cockpit glass, cracking part of it. "Hey!" cried Baxter. "Um, Donnie. If we cut off one of its heads, wouldn't it grow two more?" asked Michelangelo. "That's a hydra!" said Donatello. The rest of the heroes were helping evacuate the people to safety. "That's it. Don't shove," said Cilan. A girl turned to Casey Jones. "Who are those Squirtles flying in that blimp?" asked the girl. "Just four Squirtles who love New York and hate bullies like Baxter Stockman," said Casey.

Just then, the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R.'s left head seized the balloon part of the Squirtle Blimp with its jaws. "Uh-oh! We've been caught!" cried Michelangelo. "Not for long! Hang on!" said Donatello, grinning. With a press of a button, part of the Squirtle Blimp detached from the balloon to form a new vehicle. "Behold! The Squirtle Blimp is now the Squirtle Glider!" said Donatello. As the Squirtle Glider, the vehicle was now faster and more maneuverable. "Hold still so I can blast you!" said Baxter.

At that moment, three of the lasers from the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. hit Charizard, Braviary and Dragonite, singeing their some of their wings. "We're going down!" cried Ash. "Hang on!" cried Hilda. The three Flying Pokémon crashed to the ground. Ash, Pikachu, Hilda and Iris were sore, but not terrible hurt. "Is everybody okay?" asked Ash. "We're fine," said Hilda. "But our Pokémon won't be able to participate in the rest of the battle," said Iris, pointing to their Pokémon. Ash, Hilda and Iris had no choice but to return their Pokémon to their Pokéballs. "Take a good rest, you three," said Ash.

Just then, at that moment, the two stones that Ash's Mewtwo discovered began to glow. Ash had one, while his Mewtwo had the other one. "What's going on?" asked Hilda. Ash took out the stone he had. "The stone that Mewtwo discovered that I'm in possession of is glowing," said Ash. "So is the one I have," said Ash's Mewtwo. "Let's see what these stones can do!" said Ash. Ash held the stone he had high into the air and Ash's Mewtwo started to glow. Everybody noticed this as well, including the female Mewtwo and Baxter Stockman. When the glowing stopped, Ash's Mewtwo had changed in appearance. He was now larger and bulkier than his normal state. The horns on his head were longer and extended from V-shaped ridges on his forehead. Additionally, the horns were now pointed and curve upward. He now had two tubes behind his neck instead of one. His eyes were light blue, and he had large, purple growths over his shoulders. His torso was smooth and small compared to his long, bulky limbs, and a Y-shaped line connected the collar and underbelly. His forearms and thighs each had two raised ridges, and his digits were now longer and thinner. The tail was slightly shorter and stiffer than before and had a curled tip. This form was Mega Mewtwo X, but neither Ash nor his Mewtwo knew what it was called, yet.

"Amazing. It seems I acquired a transformation like you," said Mega Mewtwo X to the female Mewtwo. "But different in a way," said the female Mewtwo. Then, she transformed into Mega Mewtwo Y. "Let's take down that mad scientist, together," said Mega Mewtwo Y. Mega Mewtwo X nodded. "Yes. Together," said Mega Mewtwo X. The two Mega Evolved Mewtwos charged toward the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. The Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. began to fire multiple lasers at Mega Mewtwos X & Y. However, they either dodged or deflected the lasers. The two Mewtwos began to thrash the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. with multiple energy attacks or thrown projectiles. And nothing could stop the combined might of the two Genetic Pokémon. The Ninja Squirtles and whatever Pokémon were still fighting also continued their assault on the giant robot. "That's it! Keep it up!" said Donatello. "We can take that tin head down!" said Leonardo.

Mega Mewtwo X fired a powered up Shadow Ball attack, blasting off the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R.'s right head. Mega Mewtwo Y blasted the left head off with an Aura Sphere attack. "Uh-oh!" said Baxter Stockman. Both Mega Evolved Mewtwos began to charge up Aura Spheres. Then, they fired them and they combined into a big Aura Sphere. The Genesect Army fired a quintuple Techno Blast attack once again. The Squirtle Glider fired a final assault of missiles. All the attacks struck the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R., blasting a huge hole in its torso. The Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. started to spark as it was on the verge of exploding. "No! No! No! NOOOOOO!" screamed Baxter. The Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. then disappeared in a massive, fiery explosion. Everybody shielded themselves from the brightness and smoke of the explosion.

When the explosion cleared, the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. was now nothing more than a charred pile of useless scrap metal. Both Mewtwos transformed back into their base forms. Ash's Mewtwo went to investigate the wreckage and began to search for any sign of Baxter Stockman. "Hey Mewtwo, any sign of Baxter Stockman?" asked Ash. "No. Because what I just found isn't Baxter," said Ash's Mewtwo, pulling out something with his psychic powers. Everybody saw Ash's Mewtwo pull out an android clone of Baxter Stockman. It was missing is left leg and half of its right arm. Plus, the fake flesh on the android's face was burn off, revealing its true face. "A robot clone?" asked Ash. Ash's Mewtwo tossed it aside. "Which means the real Baxter is still out there," said the female Mewtwo. The Squirtle Glider landed and the TMNS got off. "He must be long gone by now," said Donatello.

At that moment, the TMNS, Ash & co., their Pokémon, the female Mewtwo and the Genesect Army began to hear some cheering. It was coming from the people of New Tork City. Among one of the people gathered was Charles Pennington. "You saved us all!" said Irma. "You're both a champion in Pokémon battles and in saving a city, Ash!" said a boy. "I can't take all the credit. I had my Pokémon as well as my friends," said Ash. Ash turned to the TMNS and Splinter. "Come on. You must present yourselves too," whispered Ash. "Very well," said Splinter. The TMNS and Splinter stepped forward. "Who might you be?" asked Charles. "We are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles and this is our sensei. We were the ones who took down the Foot Clan and helped April unravel the mystery of the Silent Crime Wave. We didn't show ourselves at first because we were afraid we'd be viewed as freaks due to us being bigger than normal Pokémon. But after hearing how Leatherhead helped save Ash back in Sinnoh, we finally had the courage to step out of shadows. When danger threatens the city, we'll be there to save the day," said Leonardo. Everybody continued to cheer.


Ash's Mewtwo has achieved Mega Evolution and the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. is now scrap metal, but Baxter is still at large. Next chapter, the Genesect have a new home and the female Mewtwo makes a decision . . .
