Chapter 11: Mega Evolution

Both Red and Lucas landed in Pallet Town after flying on Charizard's back from Cinnabar Island to Pallet Town as both were asked to come to Professor Oak's Laboratory to check out something in regards to Mega Evolution.

"It feels great to be home, hey before we go to Professor Oak's Lab, want to get some lunch at my house?" Red asked Lucas as the both of them could hear eachother's stomachs growling.

"That would be nice Red, let's go to your house to eat." Lucas said as both boys ran over to Red's House, opened the door, and were greeted by a very nice smell.

"Mom, we're home." Red said as he and Lucas both took their shoes off at the door.

"Hi Sweetie, I heard you was coming home so I made you and Lucas both Lunch." Red's Mother said as both Red and Lucas sat at the table as she served them both Curry. "I made Curry for you two since Curry is known to be a great dish for bringing people closer together." Red's mother said as she served both boys Curry as the two began to eat the curry.

"It's delicious but Spicy." Red said as his cheeks was turning as red as his name as Lucas also looked at his curry, but bravingly took a bite of the curry.

"It's amazing and ohhh hot." Lucas said after taking a bite of the Curry but Red continued to eat the Curry as Red's mother also gave both boys some water to wash down the heat of the curry as they both took a drink of the water.

"Well I don't want you both burning your tongues anyways Red, Professor Oak called you about something involving Mega Evolution?" Red's mother asked as the both of them finished their curry, put their shoes back on and made their way out the door.

"Thank you for Lunch Mom, we'll see you later." Red said as he and Lucas both hurried over to Professor Oak's Lab and as they opened the door they were greeted by Blue.

"Oh hello dorks." Blue said with a snarl but at the same time they have embarrassed eachother a number of times.

"Hello Toenail Breath, I see Oak called you here as well." Red said as Blue took a sip of tea.

"Yeah well as always i'm first while you and your sidekick are stuffing your faces." Blue said taking a sip of tea but not before Lucas gave it a little extra flavor.

"PK FREEZE!" Lucas shouted turning Blue's warm tea, ice cold.

"Hey what the, you'll pay for that."Blue said as Professor Oak walked inside the room.

"Come on now don't cause any mischief, now come inside the Lab boys." Professor Oak said leading all three boys into his Lab. "Now I called you three here because all three of you have fully evolved your Starter Pokemon. Well now take a look here at these bracelets that Professor Sycamore from the Kalos Region has delivered to me; the Mega Bracelets, when you place a Mega Stone that evolved any Pokemon into it's Mega Form it will enhance it's power now Red take the one for Charizard, Lucas take the one for Venusaur, and Blue take the one for Blastoise." Professor Oak said as all three boys put the bracelets around their wrists especially Lucas who had smaller arms as the bracelet was able to fit around Lucas's wrist.

"Hey it fits well on me, so are we going to see how Mega Evolution works?" Lucas asked as Professor Oak nodded.

"Well would the three of you like to come outside." Professor Oak asked leading the three boys outside into the yard. "All Right Boys go ahead and place the Mega Stones into the Bracelets and then activate." Professor Oak instructed as the Three Trainers placed the Mega Stones into the Bracelets and what felt like a surge of power was flowing through them as Red and Lucas nodded to eachother while Blue just smirked.

"Go Charizard!" Shouted Red as he summoned his Charizard from his Pokeball.

"Go Venusaur." Lucas said summoning his Venusaur from his Pokeball.

"Go Blastoise." Blue said as now all three Pokemon had been summoned as Professor Oak looked over at the three Fully Evolved Pokemon.

"All right now press down on the stones with your Pokemon out and you will be able to Mega Evolve your Pokemon." Professor Oak instructed as the three Trainer activated the Mega Stones inside the bracelets as Red's Charizard, Blue's Blastoise, and Lucas's Venusaur all transformed into an altered version but with a more stronger appearance which amazed the three trainers.

"Awesome, Hey Lucas are you getting any ideas on how to defeat Giovanni in Viridian City?" Red asked as Lucas looked at his Venusaur as Blue approached them.

"It was supposed to be me to challenge you Lucas, but Team Rocket attacked me and took back control of the Viridian City Gym and now is our chance to take down Team Rocket." Blue said as Red and Lucas both nodded.

"Blue I know we have been embarrassing eachother but right now we all need to get on the same page if we have a chance of stopping whatever plans Team Rocket may have with R."

"Boys, I just found out Team Rocket is planning something very dangerous in Virdian City, it's on the News, come see." Professor Oak said as Red, Lucas, and Blue all watched the tv and saw Team Rocket holding the Virdian City Pokemon Center Hostage.

"The Pokemon Center in Virdian City is under attack as Team Rocket's Boss Giovanni is threatening to detonate bombs full of R Gas into the Facility and infecting every Pokemon and causing widespread destruction; the Police is on the scene but Team Rocket is also having a standoff with Police." the Reporter said as Red, Lucas, and Blue looked shocked.

"Boys wait, we can't rush in they may be luring you kids into a trap, we need to think of a plan to catch them off guard." Professor Oak said as Red, Lucas, and Blue were discussing a plan as Giovanni with Mewtwo by his side were patiently waiting for someone to make a move. "We need to go to Viridian City Now before Giovanni sets off those bombs." Professor Oak said getting Blue, Red, and Lucas into a car as Professor Oak drove as fast as he could to Virdian City to see Team Rocket holding the City Hostage.

"Giovanni, stop this at once, are you willing to really cause this much destruction for world domination." Professor Oak yelled at Giovanni as the Team Rocket boss smirked.

"Professor Oak all of your research could never topple my genius as I was able to use R to control over all Pokemon including Mewtwo, it's all over for all of you." Giovanni said before Lucas stepped in front.

"Don't be sure of that, i'll take you on." Lucas said with a voice of courage despite Giovanni's laughter.

"Boy do you really think you can save these people, you're nothing but a wimpy child."

"No i'm not and I also came here to challenge you for the Earth badge." Lucas said as Giovanni scoffed.

"Do you really think you can defeat me in a Pokemon battle, just try me boy." Giovanni said as Blue stepped up.

"Lucas how about we all take down Giovanni and I can challenge you for the Earth Badge, after all I was in charge of the Gym before Team Rocket came back and kicked me out, so now it's payback time." Blue said as Red also stood next to them with his Pokeball in hand.

"Giovanni, I took you down before and I will take you down again, I say let's all take him down, Go Charizard." Red said as he called out his Charizard for battle.

"I got your back as always Red, Go Venusaur." Lucas said summoning his Venusaur to battle.

"Now to take back the Gym, Go Blastoise." Blue said summoning Blastoise as Giovanni smirked and looked at Mewtwo.

"You won't be taking back anything, now Mewtwo, MEGA EVOLUTION!" Giovanni shouted activating the Mega Stone transforming Mewtwo in it's Mega Evolved Y Form.

"So Mewtwo has a Mega Evolution, all right let's show him that the three of us can team up to take him on. Mega Evolve Blastoise." Blue said activating the Mega Stone as Blastoise transformed into it's Mega Form.

"Lucas let's do this, we can't let our guard down. Charizard Mega Evolution." Red said activating the mega Stone transforming Charizard into Mega X Form.

"Right behind you Red, Go Venusaur, MEGA EVOLUTION!" Lucas said transforming Venusaur into it's Mega Evolved Form.

"Go Mewtwo, attack with your Psychic Abilities." Giovanni ordered as Mewtwo fired several blasts at the three Maga Evolved Kanto Starters.

"Dodge and use Razor Leaf." Lucas said as Venusaur tried to dodge and fired several razor leaves in Mewtwo's direction but the Psychic Cat Clone Pokemon would dodge and fire more blasts as the tree trainers continued to use their best attacks.

"Charizard Flame Thrower." Red commanded as Charizard tried to use Flamethrower on Mewtwo but to little effect.

"Blastoise use Watergun." Blue said as Giovanni smirked.

"Well now perhaps it's time to reveal a new weapon against these children." Giovanni said as he toosed three Pokeballs revealing a Venusaur, Blastoise, and Charizard but with strange markings on them which stunned Lucas, Red, and Blue. "I cloned the DNA of your Pokemon from Professor Oak's Lab and trained them just like any regular Trainer would raise any regular Pokemon, now try and defeat me now.

"He cloned the DNA of Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander we can't lose to clone but they're too powerful, there has to be some sort of weakness in these clones." Blue thought while avoiding the oncoming attacks from the Clone Pokemon.

"Lucas you take care of Blastoise, i'll take care of Venusaur, and Blue you take Charizard." Red said believing the Type Advantage would work in their favor. "Charizard use Flamethrower on Venusaur." Red said as Charizard would breath fire towards the Venusaur.

"Blastoise use your Hydro Pump on Charizard." Giovanni commanded the Blastoise Clone to attack Red's Charizard, which made Lucas worry."

"Venusaur use Vine Whip to stop that Blastoise." Lucas said as the Venusaur used it's Vinewhips to stop the Blastoise Clone from attacking Red's Charizard.

"Charizard, burn that kid's Venusaur with Fire Blast." Giovanni commanded his Cloned Charizard to attack but Blue saw Charizard's attack and made an attempt to help Lucas.

"Blastoise, Hydro Pump Now." Blue commanded Blastoise all all of the Pokemon and Clone Pokemon's attacks all hit with eachother causing damage to eachother as all of the Pokemon were beginning to show exhaust and gave the perfect opportunity fort Mewtwo to attack with blasts. However Mewtwo's Blasts was countered by another blast from a small Catlike Pokemon that looked similar to Mewtwo, which shocked the bipedal cat Pokemon.

"Mew, so you've come top help these children, how I've waited for this day to finally capture you, Mewtwo go prove your superiority against your supposed predecessor." Giovanni ordered as Mewtwo ferociously began firing projectiles at Mewtwo but Mew would dodge them all. As Giovanni was distracted giving Mewtwo orders, and with the Pokemon all exhausted the three boys had returned their Pokemon to their Pokeballs and were now thinking of a plan as they began to sneak around unnoticed as Giovanni was starting to lose his cool.

"Stop missing and keep attacking, you are stronger than Mew now go and chase that stupid cat before I turn you into Cat Chow." Giovanni yelled as Mewtwo turned his attention to Giovanni. "Don't look at me like that, now do as I tell you." Giovanni commanded before Red, Lucas, and Blue all made their way up to confront Giovanni.

"Giovanni can't you see your control over Mewtwo is starting to break because of how you are ordering it around." Red said as Giovanni scoffed at Red's words.

"This does not concern you boy, now Mewtwo take this R Gas and destroy Mew." Giovanni said as Lucas dashed and took the R gas out of Giovanni's hand and continued running like if he was Sonic the Hedgehog. "Get back here you runt, Mewtwo get that boy." Giovanni said as Red and Lucas both began to follow Lucas however Mewtwo's eyes turned towards Giovanni's direction as Mewtwo held extended it's hand and began to form a shadow ball and then fired it at Giovanni which surprised the three trainers who stopped running to look back at Mewtwo turning against Giovanni.

"Hey Giovanni, you took that Mewtwo and tried to brainwash it and now it's starting to break free from your tyrannical desires for World Domination, it's all over for you." Red said as Giovanni looked at Mewtwo who looked to be about ready to destroy Giovanni.

"Good thing I thought of a backup Plan." Giovanni said with a smirk as a large Metallic Pokeball hovered over Mewtwo as Mewtwo turned his attention to the Metalic Pokeball and tried attacking it but to no avail. "Now return to your Pokeball."

"Go Pikachu use lightning on that Pokeball and i'll do the same with my PK Thunder to overload that ball, now PK THUNDER!"Lucas said firing PK Thunder at the Pokeball, while Pikachu began to use it's electricity and Lucas using PK Thunder to overload it's energy causing the ball to be destroyed.

"What, YOU BRATS!" Giovanni said with anger as Mewtwo began to leap into the sky. "Get back here, Grunts, come help me follow that Mewtwo. I will defeat you children someday so you better be ready for when it does." Giovanni said as he got in his Helicopter to chase after Mewtwo as Lucas looked to Red and Blue and nodded to them and concentrated energy into his mind.

Pikachu use Thunder and i'll use mine. NOW! PK THUNDER!" Lucas said concentraiting his energy as Pikachu's cheeks filled with electricity as they both used their electrical powers to strike Giovanni's Helecopter causing it to crash into the nearby Viridian Forest as Police Officers followed the crash. "We just couldn't let him get away, Mewtwo deserves freedom." Lucas said as both Red and Blue nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile in the Viridian Forest Giovanni emerged from the rubble of his crashed chopper only to find himself surrounded by Police Officers as one began to place handcuffs around Giovanni's Wrists.

"You're Under Arrest Giovanni for Acts of Terrorism and Cruelty to Pokemon, you're coming with us." The Police Officer said as Giovanni looked into the sky and mumbled to himself.

"I'll get you kids back one day, I will have my revenge." Giovanni mumbled as he was taken into the back of a Squad Van and was now being taken away to Jail.

Meanwhile back with the Three Pokemon Trainers; Red, Lucas, and Blue were healing themselves up from their injuries and their Pokemon.

"Well looks like we won't half to worry about Giovanni but i'm worried about Mewtwo, I wonder where he will go?" Lucas asked as Red stroked Lucas's hair.

"Back the the cave in Cerulean city where ti was first discovered." Red said as Blue approached Lucas.

"I was wrong about you Lucas, you really are strong and you helped us against Team Rocket, tomorrow let's have that Gym battle; what do you say?" Blue said extending his hand to the blonde boy as Lucas shook Blue's hand showing respect between both Trainers.

The next day both Lucas and Blue stood on Opposite Sides of the Battlefield and were both ready for battle."

"I hope you got all of your beauty rest because I need you to bring out your best, Lucas." Blue said as he stood across the battlefield from Lucas who had a look of confidence on his face."

"I'm all rested and ready to earn the Earth Badge, now Go Pikachu." Lucas said summoning his Pikachu as Blue smirked.

"I'm already a step ahead of you, Go Nidoking." Blue said summoning a large bipedal Pokemon with a purple body, a large horn, and large ears with blue colored lobes as Nidoking let out a roar, but Red was there to assure Lucas, to do his best.

"Lucas I should probably tell you that Pikachu's attacks won't do any damage to Nidoking, but you can use Pikachu's speed to slow Nidoking down." Red said giving Lucas advice as Blue smirked at his longtime rival.

"No Backseat Coaching, Nidoking use Earthquake." Blue said as Nidoking stomped it's feet causing the ground to shake.

"Pikachu use your agility." Lucas said as Pikachu began to move really fast as Blue was trying to keep up with Pikachu's speed.

"Use Ice Punch." Blue commanded as Nidoking's arm was covered in ice as it made an attempt to strike the Pikachu.

"Dodge and use Iron Tail." Lucas commanded as Pikachu leaped into the air as it's tail glowed bright and swung around to connect with Nidoking's face, causing the large Pokemon to slightly stumble.

"Horn Attack Now Nidoking." Blue said as Nidoking used it's horn to knock Pikachu out of the air and back on to the ground but the nimble Pikachu was able to land on it's feet, however Blue looked confident that he had this battle all to himself. "Go for a Hyper Beam Attack." Blue said as Lucas saw his Pikachu was starting to get Worn Out so he took out His Pokeball and returned Him.

"Pikachu return, now go Vaporeon use Watergun on Nidoking." Lucas shouted as Vaporeon was able to do super effective damage to Nidoking causing it to faint as Blue returned it to it's Pokeball."

"Cheap but smart move, but now let's have a waterfight; Go Blastoise." Blue said summoning his Blastoise. "Use Hydro Pump." Blue said as Blastoise used a full pressured water attack on Vaporeon but the Watery Fox Pokemon was able to sucessfully Dodge as Lucas was able to once again call back his Vaporeon and summon another substitute.

"Go Venusaur, MEGA EVOLUTION!" Lucas said as he summoned his Venusaur and activated the Mega Stone to evolve Venusaur into Mega Venusaur to battle Blastoise. "Use Solar Beam." Lucas cried out however Blue recalled his Blastoise at the last second.

"Go Arcenine, use Fire Blast Attack." Blue commanded as Both Arcenine's Fire Blast made contact with Venusaur's Solar Beam causing an explosive result. Both Growlith and Venusaur now look exhausted but both Pokemon were not ready to give up yet. "Arcenine, use Fire Fang Attack.

"Venusaur hurry up and use Sleep Powder." Lucas commanded as just before Arcenine was about to sink it's fiery teeth into Venusaur; yellowish powder hit Growlith which made it's eyes go drowsy. "Now finish it off with Solar Beam." Lucas commanded as Venusaur was able to finish off Arcenne with Solar Beam leaving the now sleeping Arcenine defenseless, as it was blasted by Solar Beam leaving Blue slightly frustrated.

"You're just getting lucky, now for my last Pokemon, Blastoise return to battle and Mega Evolve." Blue said summoning his Blastoise and using Mega Evolution to transform Blastoise to battle against Mega Venusaur, as Lucas had a smile on his face.

"I still have the Type Advantage now Venusaur use Vine Whip." Lucas said as Venusaur began to whip Blastoise with it's vines.

"Withdraw in your shell and use Rapid Spin." Blue said as Blastoise took shelter inside of it's massive shell and spun around nailing Venusaur."

"Solar Beam Now." said Lucas as Venusaur once again obtained energy for the attack.

"Hydro Pump Now." Blue said as Blastoise emerged from it's shell as a gust of water, blasted out of it's pipes as Venusaur's Solar Beam also connected as both attacks hit head on leading to another explosive result. As the dust settled both Blastoise and Venusaur looked unconscious however, Venusaur used up the most of it's energy and fainted as Lucas called him back and called back out Pikachu who looked only slightly rested from the earlier battle with Nidoking. "It's all over now, use Hydro Pump."

"Use your agility do dodge Hydro Pump, Pikachu."Lucas commanded as Pikachu would use it's agility to avoid the Hydro Pump attack. "Now use Thunder."

"Withdraw and use Rapid Spin." Blue commanded as Blastoise hid inside it's shell and spun around at Pikachu's Direction.

"JUMP NOW!" Lucas commanded as Pikachu jumped up and avoided Blastoise but landed on it's shell treating Blastoise like a Skateboard.

"Blastoise, spin faster to knock Pikachu off." Blue said as Blastoise spun around fast as Lucas looked very panicky.

"Pikachu use THUNDER NOW." Lucas commanded as Pikachu set out a massive surge of electricity causing explosions as Pikachu landed on it's feet as Blastoise emerged from it's shell and got hit by Pikachu's electricity. causing Blastoise to faint giving Lucas the win. "I Did It." Lucas said jumping in the air as Red hugged Lucas.

"You did it, Lucas you won." Red said as Blue called back his Blastoise and smiled.

"Congratulations Lucas, you earned the Earth Badge." Blue said as he handed Lucas a feather shaped green colored badge as Lucas proudly displayed it. "I hope you understand Lucas the Elite Four are a lot stronger than any of the previous challengers you have previously faced; head up Victory Road and prepare yourself for the strongest challengers there is to face. Good Luck Lucas, and Red please take good care of him."

"Blue I always take good care of my bud." Red said ruffling Lucas's hair as Lucas and Blue shook hands to symbolize respect.

"Let's Go Red, time to challenge the Elite Four." Lucas said with confidence as he and Red both made their way towards Victory Road, can Lucas become the next Champion? Find out next time."
