Last time, Ash was battling for the zephyr badge, after beating Falkner's noctowl and pidgeot, Zapdos was sent out. Ash fought back with his remaining pokemon, but they were all brutally attacked and fainted. Ash then sent out Midnight, who believes that the large, electric bird that keeps screaming zapdos isn't really Zapdos. Why am I repeating this for everyone, even though I'm sure you read the last chapter? I don't know.
Every single person who reviewed thought it was a ditto ::sighs:: remember, ditto don't get the power of the other pokemon, just the form, attacks, and type. Also, they don't come out of the pokeball already transformed. Only one person guessed that it might also be a genetic experiment.
[You aren't Zapdos] Midnight repeated.
Ash stared at Midnight. Every muscle in her body was rigid. What was the matter with her?
Midnight screamed, her voice a cross between a roar and a howl, filled with fury and sadness. She ran straight at Zapdos-
-Then right past it towards Falkner.
Snarling, she leapt at him, but Zapdos rammed into her before she could hit him.
"Midnight! Stop it now!" yelled Ash, but she ignored him.
"Go, Articuno, Motres, Lugia, attack!" screamed Falkner. "Don't let it get to me!"
The three other legendary birds attacked, surrounding her competely. Ash couldn't even see her. They were going to kill her…
"Clones!" she screamed, raging. "They're clones! I'll kill you for this!"
Ash froze. Did she just talk?
Midnight fell out, then sent a fire blast at Articuno, knocking it out. She then used blizzard against Zapdos, and then used hydo pump on Moltres. She then finished off Lugia with a quick crunch attack.
How could she use those attacks? wondered Ash. She didn't know then before…
The four birds fainted. Midnight, panting, ran at Falkner again.
"Midnight, return!" called Ash, just as she was about to rip Falkner's head off. "Well, I guess I beat you."
"Your pokemon tried to attack me! I won't give you a badge!"
Ash glared at Falkner. "Then maybe I should let Midnight out again," he snapped. He wouldn't, of course, but Ash had won that badge fairly, even though it was four against one.
"Fine! Take the stupid badge!"
Ash walked out of the gym, now with only two more badges to go. What had happened? Why did Midnight try to kill Falkner? How had she known that the pokemon were clones? Were they clones at all, or was something wrong with Midnight? But only Ash Ketchem had the legendary birds, and if the birds Falkner had were clones, it would make sense.
But no, it still didn't make any sense! No one knew how to make clones! The only ones to ever attempt or succeed to clone pokemon were the scientists of New Island, and they were all dead. Besides, no one knew if they even existed…But if the pokemon he had just fought were clones, then Project Mewtwo must have existed. And Prof. Hemlock was said to have been part of it. All of the scientists were killed in the explosion, but maybe Prof. Hemlock wasn't there at the time…
Again, does anyone know of a finished Team Rocket takes over world, Mewtwo takes over world, etc. fic? I've found many, but none that are complete.
