Magmar hit her with a fire blast. Midnight reared up in response, flapping her wings and creating a powerful twister attack.
The attack hit without effect over Magmar, who responded with flamethrower. Midnight blocked with her wings then sent a thunderbolt at him.
Again there was no noticeable effect. Magmar then raced at her, hitting her with a thunderpunch.
Midnight howled up to the sky. Dark clouds quickly began to form. In moments, a light rain began.
The magmar looked up in surprise, and Midnight took advantage of his distraction to hit him with steel wing. Magmar countered with a toxic attack
Midnight dodged it and flew upward, then dove back down at him. The fly attack hit dead on but the fire pokemon didn't even flinch. At point-blank range it hit her with another fire blast. Now Midnight was weakened and burned, yet her opponent still showed no signs of even feeling her attacks.
Midnight bit Magmar, then winced in pain from her burn. As he tackled her, Midnight used a quick haze to rid herself of the burn.
Magmar tried another toxic attack, which Midnight dodged again. Panting, she spat out a powerful bubblebeam attack. Although Magmar still seemed uninjured, the attack at least reduced his speed.
Which meant it would be okay to try to hit him with a normally inaccurate hydro pump. Midnight noticed with annoyance that her rain dance attack had just faded, so the water attack didn't do extra damage
Ash stared out as the two powerful pokemon danced around each other. Before he could even think of an attack to tell her to use, she had already attacked and counter-attacked the magmar, so he had given up thinking of advice and was just watching and hoping.
On the other side of the battleground, Andy watched with bloodlust as Magmar pounded into Midnight.
The blast from the hydro pump did not more damage then the last ones. Magmar's next thunderpunch paralyzed her and she had to waste her turn using haze again.
Well, this wasn't working. If direct attacks had no effect, maybe it was time to change strategies, though Midnight. But some attacks do a set amount of damage. Now, what were they…?
Magmar took advantage of Midnight's moment of thought to hit her with a flamethrower and thunderpunch. Midnight then-
Ash and Andy watched in surprise as she sent a small seed at the magmar, who was too surprised himself to stop it. The seed quickly sprouted and dug its tendrils into Magmar, sucking out his energy.
The magmar growled in pain but wasn't distracted. He quickly heated the surrounding area, baking the seed.
Midnight then reared and hit the ground hard, creating an earthquake. The magmar still showed no signs of weakening, countering with fire punch.
Suddenly Midnight got an idea. She ran at the fire pokemon and bit into him with super fang, halving his hit points. In response the fire pokemon somehow managed to use synthesis to heal.
[You cannot beat me. You cannot match my power.] laughed the magmar, hitting her with cross chop. Midnight staggered.
So how could she beat him? He was too quick to try an automatic knockout attack, and besides, those didn't work on legendaries so it might not work on him.
The magmar laughed again cruelly. [Don't worry. This time I'll make sure you die. And when I'm done with you I swear I'll hunt down every last one of your followers so this will never happen again. I'm sure I can create enough hysteria to hunt down the dark pokemon. After all, humans would kill them even if I didn't frame them as killers. And then I'll kill the flying pokemon, and all the rest.]
[You could never do that!] screamed Midnight in anger.
[Oh, not before, not really. But I never had any reason to before anyway. Now that the other legendaries are captured, no one will be able to stop me. And I really don't need to kill every last one. All I need to do is kill them before they can pass on your legend. A couple of decades of that and your name will be forgotten for all eternity. As a bonus, after that destruction and after killing you, of course, I might even be strong enough to take out another of the legendaries, especially if it was weakened. And if I kill the legendaries I will be the strongest creature in existence] gloated Magmar, hitting her with a karate chop.
Midnight glared at him in fury. The magmar paused momentarily, watching her eyes glow blood red, then fade to black.
She spread her wings, seeming to glow with dark flames. [I will never let you do that. Regular attacks may not harm you, but you forget what I am.] The magmar took an involuntary step back, staring at her. [I am the keeper of death. If I want something dead] she hissed [it dies.]
At that moment, Ash looked up. Dark thunderclouds had just covered the sky, and they weren't normal. It was getting really dark, and he thought he had just seen a glimpse of the moon, but it was day! What was happening?
[Abyss!] roared Midnight, and the shadows that surrounded Magmar rose up and engulfed him. A moment later, the clouds drew back and Midnight toppled to the ground in a faint. Magmar had vanished.
Ash didn't wait to see what Andy would do. Frankly, he didn't much care. "Midnight, return!" he yelled, then raced toward the Pokemon League HQ and a pokemon center.
The place was dark. Two figured could be seen standing in the darkness, though. Although there was no light, both were clearly illuminated against the black. One was a large, black winged creature that looked identical to Ash's Midnight. The other was a dark haired girl whose black eyes watched the midnight closely. She spoke first.
"What happened? Did the masterball destroy me?"
[No, but since all you are now is Midnight's human thoughts, and the masterball erased most of them, you are close enough to gone.]
"But she remembered when he played the song," argued the girl. "Just for a moment, yes, but still, she remembered."
[She may remember bits of her former life, but not your persona. You will never have her mind again.] The black creature shrugged. [If it is any consolation, it would have happened anyway. When her memories began to return, they were mine, not yours. Under normal circumstances, you would have just faded away. Your memories would have remained, in a way, but your viewpoint would have slowly changed until your human side disappeared. Familiar things will make her remember momentarily, but even if dark pokemon did not have such trouble with machines, you would have faded.]
"I wasn't fading before. I could have had years to find a way to reverse it!" wailed the girl.
[You were disappearing even then. That is why you did not think to tell anyone you were human, why rather then explain you ran, why you could understand pokemon. Midnight's instincts -my instincts- were already taking over. The masterball may have changed the way it would happen, but not the end result. Rather then fading slowly away, you were nearly destroyed. But you see, all that means is that there is less of you to fade now. The longer she stays out of the masterball, the more of me appears, and the more of you, but there is so very little left of you anyway.]
"Then stop it! Leave me be! Leave here!" screamed the girl. "Why would he do this to me?!"
[I am not the original midnight. I only exist here. Midnight will get my memories, but she will not become the original one. I am just the midnight persona, the base instincts and memories. When any creature is turned into another, this happens, but when a creature becomes a legendary, their original self fades. Mewtwo didn't mean to do this. He did not choose your form. He could have turned you into a rattata or such, but simply specified a strong pokemon and let your nature decide.]
"I didn't choose this!"
[I didn't say that. I do not know what the trait is that decides what one creature will change into. The original did, and perhaps Midnight will learn, but all I know is it was not a conscious decision.] The midnight shrugged again. [It is not my choice, it is not yours. Who knows why this happened. Perhaps the clearest explanation would be thus: the world needed another one. So, by chance, Mewtwo happened by a girl who would become one. By chance, a boy caught her and a man took her feather, so that the psychic one may appear. The balance must be restored. Before the Chosen One came, the balance was crumbling. When he caught almost all of them, the balance was nearly destroyed. That is the way of this world.]
Okay, I meant to do the pokemon league battles too, but I'm going to do them in the next chapter(writing six battles is HARD). This should give you enough to think on for the moment.
