Notes: I'm starting to get somewhere in the battle descriptions... wow, it's really strange reading stuff you wrote 3 years ago... really nostalgic...
Yes, I'm aware it's quite strange that a trainer owns a legendary bird... but hey, newbie! I was playing the gameboy! I didn't relate much to the Anime... so uh... welcome to my fanfiction world ^^;;

" Come one, come all! Test your trainer skills by battling some of the toughest Pokémon that exist! See how far you can go! If you beat the surprise champ, then… oh, hi! Would you like to challenge the surprise champ?"
" Sure Meowth. I know my Pokémon can beat ANYONE!" said a new voice, " Take me to this champ!"
" Hold on a moment! You've got to prove yourself worthy by battling the champ's buddy!""
I was listening to this conversation in the tree I was hiding in. We haven't had any trainers that were good enough to beat my, " buddy," and finally challenge me and I was getting very bored. The champ field was completely empty except for the tree that I was hiding in.
" A MEWTWO?" Hey, I can't- uh… well! You're going to be quite a task, won't you?" I heard the trainer say.
" I will allow you to use two Pokémon," said Mewtwo.
" Ok, then, I choose you, Zapdos!" shouted the trainer.
I came out of my hiding spot to watch the show, since there wasn't anything else to do. The male trainer's Zapdos was very healthy and strong, maybe even stronger than the one I had battled before back in the lab.
" You have a legendary Pokémon, eh?" Mewtwo said calmly, " TAKE THIS!" He put his hands together and stars flew at Zapdos, who couldn't dodge a Swift move.
" Zapdos! Drill Peck!" shouted the trainer.
The Zapdos charged at Mewtwo with terrific speed, with its sharp beak pointed directly at its enemy. Mewtwo wasn't fast enough to dodge and got hit on the head for a very long time. After the pecking, Mewtwo used Barrier and then used his psychic ability to freeze Zapdos temporarily. He was able to use Swift on him twice before the bird was able to move again.
" Hey, Zapdos! Show him who's the best one around here! Use your Thunder move!" the trainer ordered.
The Zapdos, who had taken much damage but not that much pain (since the freezing disabled pain for some reason) flew high into the air and began his move. At first only small bolts cam off from its wings, but then the bolts grew larger and slowly formed a giant electric ball. The only thing Mewtwo could do was watch and stare as the electric ball continued to grow in size and power. Suddenly, the battle field grew dark with clouds and the ball dashed into one of them.
CRAAACK!!
Lightning bolts were zapping the ground here and there, causing large noises and monstrous damage to Mewtwo, if only any of the bolts would hit him…
" Um, what is the point of this firework display?" Mewtwo mocked.
The trainer chuckled. " You haven't seen the best part yet. Zapdos, take control of those bolts! You know what to do," he said.
The legendary Pokémon flew high, high up above the clouds where it was hidden from sight. All of a sudden…
CRAAACK!! ZAAARP! Sizzle, sizzle…
A gigantic lightning bolt hit Mewtwo! Another one hit him! It was going on continously and poor Mewtwo was in too much pain to do anything in between the bolts. This Zapdos was in a very high level indeed! I wonder if I would win against him…
CRAAACK! What? No zarp?
He missed! In fact, he missed several times in a row! This was a good opportunity for Mewtwo to use Recover and make another Barrier. After missing a few more times, the clouds faded away and Zapdos flew back down, exhausted from all the work.
" Oh, no! Zapdos, return! Darn those stupid recovering moves!" the trainer growled impatiently as he called back his Pokémon, " However, you're no match for Gyarados!"
The trainer took out another Pokéball and tossed it onto the ground. The ball opened up and out came a mighty Gyarados, ready to battle it out.
" A dragon Pokémon? You must be a very good trainer to raise one. Have a taste of this!" Mewtwo used another Swift move.
" Pathetic," sneered the trainer, " Hyber Beam is a much more stronger move! Go get him, Gyarados."
The Gyarados let out a large, powerful Beam that hit Mewtwo hard on the stomach. Oo, that must've HURT!
I don't wish to describe the rest of the battle. All that I WILL say that after another Hyber Beam Mewtwo was finished. Fried to a crisp. I guess that I was going to have a battle at last.
" Good job, trainer! Now you may go and challenge our champ,," Meowth said, leading the trainer into my field, " Follow me to the champ field!"
Quickly, I hopped into my hiding place to see the trainer's reaction. The two people appeared and Meowth introduced me with a lot of fake accents. After the short speech, the trainer looked around in search of the champ.
" Is this a joke?" said the trainer, " There's no one here!"
That was my cue! I leaped high up above the tree and landed in front of the trainer on two feet. I grinned at the person, who only glared back at me.
" Ready to battle? You may use only two Pokémon for this fight as well," I told him, " By the way, what's your name?"
" Larry! Son of Harry and grandson of the famous Gary of Pallet Town!" It was the trainer in the Pokécenter with all of the badges! " Stop stalling! I'm sending out one of my favorite Pokémon. Go!"
The trainer threw his Pokéball, which revealed an Arcanine.
My first move was Mega Punch, which hit the fire Pokémon smoothly. After, I used Quick Attack. How come the Arcanine wasn't defending himself?
" That was a useless attack," said the trainer, " Arcanine, burn him up with Fire Blast."
While Arcanine was preparing his move, I used Barrier several times and dug a hole underground. Not too soon I heard a rapid sound of fire blowing here and there. Too bad that ground moves were too good against fire.
" Hey, what?" roared the trainer. His voice shook the ground that I was digging through. " This isn't fair!" he whined.
Oh, but it was! I popped right under Arcanine and WHAM! He was down in a flash. After I was on my feet, I looked up at the surprised trainer to see his reaction again.
" Cheap shot!" he snarled, " I'm going to have to use one of my best Pokémon!"
Hmm… he was one of those power-greedy types that didn't really care about his Pokémon or what condition they were in. You can always seem to tell during a battle. Just listen to what they say! Yeah, whatever. I think I'm jabbering too much…
" Go, Jolteon!"
Hey, ground moves are good against electric types, too! Didn't the trainer know that? That's kind of idotic if you ask me.
" Wait!" said the trainer, " I'll send out my Gengar instead! Go get 'im!"
A different Pokéball was sent out, revealing a ghost Pokémon. This was an even BIGGER mistake. Even if ghosts are good against my type, psychic moves are super effective against ghosts.
" Gengar! Paralyze it with your Lick attack!" shouted Larry. His Pokémon was slower so I was able to use Confusion on it, causing it to become confused, naturally. Still, he had good senses and attacked me.
Ugh, it was YUCKY! Or maybe that doesn't describe it right. Well, let's forget about what it felt like. I wasn't paralyzed and used Psychic, making the opponent hit himself for a very long time.
" What are you doing, Gengar? Finish him off with Hypnosis and Dream Eater!" roared the trainer.
" Gengar gen!" whined the ghost, " Gar gen!"
Basically I won the battle because Gengar kept on hitting himself on the head with his trainer yapping his head off trying to get his Pokémon to attack me. Poor Larry! He slouched away grumbling to himself some curse word. Boy, he's a sore loser!
I only fought one other good battle, and it was such a giant coincedence that these guys were even IN this town…
" To protect the world from devastation!"
" To unite all people within our nation-"
" Hey, you two numbskulls!" shouted an annoying familiar voice, " While you two are blabbering around the rare Pokémon there are gonna get away! Which one should we tranquilize first!"
Oh, and did I mention that Team Rocket discovered Pokétopia? Actually, it was Jesse and James, but they found it! I knew that I saw something strange last night! I should've known it was Team Rocket…
After blasting Team Rocket with a single Explosive Array, I noticed that there was a missing member! I had accidentally blasted OUR Meowth with the other one! Mewtwo was still unconscious, so he wouldn't get mad unless we didn't get the feline back soon. Time was passing quickly, because by the time I had some up with a good plan, it was nightfall and everyone was going to sleep.
I can't do the plan alone, so we'll have to wait until tomorrow when I'm all refreshed.
December 20, 2047
I woke up late in the morning today. In an instant I remembered the events yesterday and jumped up. Mewtwo cam over to me and asked me why I was in such a rush. I almoast blurted out the problem, but I stopped myself in time. Mewtwo stared at me as if he were looking at an alien.
" Nani o? That's very irritating, no da!" I said, looking back at Mewtwo. I picked up my coin case that had all the Full Heals and various potions. I was about to jump over the barrier that kept people from seeing the rare Pokémon paradis, when Mewtwo stopped me and asked me what I was doing again. I told him that I needed to go out to look for battles.
" Hmm? Meowth was wondering if you wanted to open up the battle arena again. I want you to get as much experience as possible, so I won't be battling before you!" he told me.
Meowth? But wasn't he…
" Oh, and Meowth also mentioned something about Team Rocket, but I couldn't understand a word he was saying and- why are you so bug-eyed?"
" What?" I didn't notice my own expression! " Uh, nanemonie! Heh, heh!"
" Ah…Well, I'm going to take a nice long walk around the topia. See you this afternoon!" Mewtwo began to jog, jumping over the barrier in front of me and continuing through the pathway to Lavender.
I guess I don't have to go out after all!
" HEY, MEWTHREE! Why didn't you go out in your continuous heroic attitude and rescue me before instead of laying your lazy head on that comfy tail of yours and sleeping you're a-"
" Meowth, why don't you just shut your mouth? And how did you ever get away from Team Rocket?" I growled, not in a very good mood.
" Who ever said that I landed with Team Rocket after that blast?" Meowth replied, crossing his arms as he stood up with his two back feet, " And another question: What attack WAS that? It was humongous!"
After talking to Meowth a little more, I went into Mewtwo's, " room," and looked around for something interesting to do. I didn't feel like battling anybody at the moment, so I needed something else to do. After rummaging for a while, I found a machine that told what level Pokémon were just by pointing the machine at them. Maybe Mewtwo made it, maybe he invented it, or maybe he just bought it, but it could prove useful. I hope he doesn't mind if I, " borrow," it.
I pointed the machine at myself and it started saying some information about my age and then it said, " Pokémon is level 46."
FOURTY-SIX?!?
But how did I beat up all of those legendary Pokémon all those months ago? Well, perhaps they WEREN'T at level 50. That would probably be the only way to explain it. Boy had I definitely overestimated myself! I'll need more training than I thought!
I spent the rest of the morning checking everyone's age and level. Some of the results were quite surprising, such as Meowth being 4 years old and being level 31. Vulpix was at level 40, Charizard was level 52, and Vaporeon was at level 48. Charizard will has a chance of whipping Vaporeon to get Vulpix back, but he didn't take that chance. I would agree with him.
Just when the afternoon began, snow started to fall from the sky. We haven't had much snow lately, which probably meant that we would…Well, I can't predict the future! By the time Mewtwo got back, there was about a quarter of a foot of snow on the ground.
However, Mewtwo didn't come back alone. He had brought a tremendous amount of Pokémon with him. Here's the list: Clefable, Clefairy, Gengar, Kabutops, Jigglypuff, Growlithe, Mankey, Tauros (another one), Gyarados, and Bulbasaur. The first thing I did was ask Mewtwo why all of them were here.
" Most of them come here every winter because their owners go to some camp of some sort, but sometimes there are a few Pokémon that we take from the Pokémon volunteer center in Lavender town in the winter. Many trainers think that it's no good to train in the winter because it gets so cold, so they either go home and wait for spring or they abandon their Pokémon and… I don't want to say it," Mewtwo explained, taking a small breath in between sentences, " Why are we doing this? We get paid for taking care of these Pokémon that the trainers drop off before going to camp. We'll need the money to bribe the Pokémon League to not disturb this place at all. This meant that they can't make this place a reserve for the public to know, which is why this place is not known to other people. Did you get everything I said?"
I heard everything, but in the middle of the details I was thinking about how I got off so easily against Larry. If he had all nine badges, his Pokémon had to be at a very high level to beat the gym leaders, yet I was only at level 46, perhaps even level 45!
" MEWTHREE!" Mewtwo shouted, " Do you mind if Bulbasaur stayed in your room with you?"
After escorting Bulbasaur to my room, I took out the, " Level status," machine and pointed it at Mewtwo, who was at the moment busy with the new guests. Mewtwo was only at level 50! No wonder why Larry beat him… but how did III beat him? Especially since III was even MORE low-leveled!
I looked at the statuses of some of the other new Pokémon and then went back to my room for a short nap. Bulbasaur was level 32, which meant that he could've been a Venusaur like my friend by now. The Great Master still has an unevolved Bulbasaur because it did not want to become ugly and uncontrollable like most evolved Pokémon, no offense or anything to my friends (though I think Pidgeot looks the best against Pidgey and Pidgeotto).
I spent the rest of the day battling a bunch of weak trainers and getting lots of money, which Meowth took.
December 23, 2047
Mewtwo and Meowth call this day, " Festival day," where most of the Pokémon in our topia go into town and set up our own booths to please people and get money. None of the people that come don't know about Pokétopia and this year will be much more profitable because of Mewtwo's communicator blocks (he made a few more smaller ones since that day we met).
Here are some things that Meowth says to advertise the places to other people. Pidgeot, Pidgey and Fearow flew around in the air, with Pidgeot carrying Meowth and the other two holding banners in their claws.
" Come on and take an exciting ride on Sandshrew and Sandslash's roller coaster ride! And while you're waiting for your turn, watch Clefable's hilarious comedy show!" Meowth said over the P.A. (he carried a cordless microphone with him), " Don't forget to drop off your kids at Vaporeon's daycare while take a nice look at Mewtwo's incredble inventions! After a long day of fun and laughing, come to Superball's relax and massage center!"
After hearing this, I went over to Mewtwo's booth and asked him what a Superball was. I received ANOTHER long explanation…
" Superball is a special Pokéball with its own mind that was created artificially by me. Of course I could've sold him, but making an artificial mind if VERY difficult! This little guy has a lot more stuff than meets the eye," said Mewtwo.
" Superball has almost unlimited endurance, making his defense very great, which makes up for its poor attack. If you use a level status machine you will find that he's level 79! He has electric fire, water, and normal moves. He also acts as a temporary Masterball!"
Temporary Masterball?
" In a battle, Superball can capture the opponent Pokémon and command it to do what it wants, but he can only do control Pokémon at a time!"
" But if he can do that, couldn't he control you?" I asked Mewtwo.
" Ah, but Superball is programmed to obey me no matter what happens, AND he can't harm me!" Mewtwo answered, " Have I told you enough?"
" Hold on a minute! What about healings?" I said.
" Oh! Superball acts as a Chansey, using Softboiled to help us in case one of us gets hurt! Of course, he's able to Recover outside of battle, making our team almost IMPOSSIBLE to beat!"
" NOTHING is impossible for TEAM ROCKET!"
Mewtwo and I whipped our heads to see what was behind us. Three of the customers who wore raincoats tore off the article clothing to reveal themselves as…
" To protect the world from devastation!"
" To unite all people within our nation!"
" To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
" To extend our reach to the stars above!"
" Jesse…"
" James…"
" Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!"
" Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
" And now to blast this joint sky high!"
Meowth pushed some sort of lever and…
BLLAAAAAAM!!!
Chaos! Blown up booth were flying through the air, our Meowth was jabbering his head off about how much he hated Team Rocket, people were cursing and praying and Pokémon were crying out roars of stupidity! Not like being blown into the sky by Team Rocket was considered stupidity…
" Team Rocket's blasting off again!" Jesse said happily while the whole gang flew out of sight.
There was a large amount of dust in the air, so the flying ones blew it away. Just about all of the people were coughing while most of the Pokémon were ready to battle (a little late for that!). Mewtwo was gliding around looking for something.
" Superball! Where are you?" he yelled, " No! Those Team Rocket jerks took him!"
Hmm, that's no surprise! After hearing about how great Superball was, who WOULDN'T want to steal it? There shouldn't be any worry either. Team Rocket seems to mess up every time they try to do something…
" Does Superball have the programming to defend itself?" I asked Mewtwo.
" Yeah, but I didn't know this was coming so I didn't put in the special computer chip that allows him to attack!" he said, still frantic.
Gee. This is just PERFECT! Busting up Team Rocket really ought to get me more experience! First, we have to find where the gang is, then we attack! I bet Mewtwo and I can take care of them ourselves.
" Fearow!" Mewtwo called to the bird, " Go look and find Superball! They're probably hiding in a large building. Go!"
The large flying Pokémon obeyed the order and left the blown up area. The other Pokémon had to recuperate and clean up the gigantic mess around us. I quickly flew back to Pokétopia to pick up a few potions and healings.
Once I got back, Mewtwo told me that Fearow had come back with information. The Team Rocket gang was trying to get Superball to obey them in the Pokémon tower!
That instant we stepped into the tower, a Gastly was staring at my face. I stared back at it.
There was a very tense pause between the both of us. Its eyes that were larger than its (well, he didn't HAVE a body) glared at me, trying to intimidate me. I looked back with just as much force. The ghost stared and stared and…
YAH! It stuck its tongue out at me! I jumped back in shock, confused for a moment. Why'd he do that?
Mewtwo was watching us the whole time. " Ha, ha! That was quite a show you two put up! Come on. Gengar's waiting to escort us!" he said.
" But… How did you know about these ghosts?" I asked.
" I don't just know these ghosts, one of the Pokémon from the volunteer center IS Gengar, remember?" he replied, walking towards the stairs, " Team Rocket is on the sixth floor. We've got to get Superball back!"
I nodded and followed Mewtwo as he went up the first flight of stairs. Unfortunately, the stairs were always on the other side of the room for everyone's inconvenience. If you ask me, they should have built an elevator here.
" Oh, and by the way," Mewtwo said to me when we reached the third floor, " You better not use Explosive Array on Team Rocket this time. I knew because Meowth told me. Besides, wouldn't some people notice if there was a giant hole in the Pokémon tower?"
On the fifth floor, Gengar waited at the stairs and said that he'll wait until we got Superball back. Up ahead a flight I could hear Team Rocket talking…
" Does Superball obey other people?" I questioned once again to Mewtwo.
" Only if he's forced to! I doubt that Team Rocket could do that," Mewtwo said in a worried matter, " When we go into battle, I want you to remember that I'm more of the intelligent type of Mewtwo, not a powerful type. Got that?" I nodded.
" What's WRONG with you?" shouted Jesse, " Just capture the darn Marowak or else you'll get it!"
" That's right!" Meowth sneered. I heard the sound of knives which was obviously Meowth's claws retracting. A simple scratch or slash wouldn't do much to Superball!
Mewtwo was ready to charge. He raced up the stairs in mid-air and shouted, " Sorry, Meowth! YOU'RE the ones who're going to get it!"
" Oh, no, it's THEM again! Ekans, Koffing, GO!" Jesse and James tossed their Pokéballs onto the ground. Two poison Pokémon popped out from them.
I took out the level status machine. Both of the Team Rocket Pokémon were level 32, believe it our not! They should still be a simple task.
Since we were inside a building, digging could be used easily, but I decided not to. Ekans could do under a floor if I went. Koffing was ordered to use Smog, but I used Confusion and reflected the smoke, causing the two enemies to become lost in the dark clouds.
Jesse, James and Meowth were coughing, little realizing that Koffing and Ekans were attacking each other. Mewtwo was checking on Superball, so I decided to use Metronome. I started to glow some, so I thought that I was going to do a flying attack, but…
The glowing was getting brighter! By now, all of the smoke was gone and the gang was looking at me, wondering what I was doing.
Suddenly, a large explosion virtually destroyed the tower and-
O_O To be continued!

" Ah…Well, I'm going to take a nice long walk around the topia. See you this afternoon!" Mewtwo began to jog, jumping over the barrier in front of me and continuing through the pathway to Lavender.
I guess I don't have to go out after all!
" HEY, MEWTHREE! Why didn't you go out in your continuous heroic attitude and rescue me before instead of laying your lazy head on that comfy tail of yours and sleeping you're a-"
" Meowth, why don't you just shut your mouth? And how did you ever get away from Team Rocket?" I growled, not in a very good mood.
" Who ever said that I landed with Team Rocket after that blast?" Meowth replied, crossing his arms as he stood up with his two back feet, " And another question: What attack WAS that? It was humongous!"
After talking to Meowth a little more, I went into Mewtwo's, " room," and looked around for something interesting to do. I didn't feel like battling anybody at the moment, so I needed something else to do. After rummaging for a while, I found a machine that told what level Pokémon were just by pointing the machine at them. Maybe Mewtwo made it, maybe he invented it, or maybe he just bought it, but it could prove useful. I hope he doesn't mind if I, " borrow," it.
I pointed the machine at myself and it started saying some information about my age and then it said, " Pokémon is level 46."
FOURTY-SIX?!?
But how did I beat up all of those legendary Pokémon all those months ago? Well, perhaps they WEREN'T at level 50. That would probably be the only way to explain it. Boy had I definitely overestimated myself! I'll need more training than I thought!
I spent the rest of the morning checking everyone's age and level. Some of the results were quite surprising, such as Meowth being 4 years old and being level 31. Vulpix was at level 40, Charizard was level 52, and Vaporeon was at level 48. Charizard will has a chance of whipping Vaporeon to get Vulpix back, but he didn't take that chance. I would agree with him.
Just when the afternoon began, snow started to fall from the sky. We haven't had much snow lately, which probably meant that we would…Well, I can't predict the future! By the time Mewtwo got back, there was about a quarter of a foot of snow on the ground.
However, Mewtwo didn't come back alone. He had brought a tremendous amount of Pokémon with him. Here's the list: Clefable, Clefairy, Gengar, Kabutops, Jigglypuff, Growlithe, Mankey, Tauros (another one), Gyarados, and Bulbasaur. The first thing I did was ask Mewtwo why all of them were here.
" Most of them come here every winter because their owners go to some camp of some sort, but sometimes there are a few Pokémon that we take from the Pokémon volunteer center in Lavender town in the winter. Many trainers think that it's no good to train in the winter because it gets so cold, so they either go home and wait for spring or they abandon their Pokémon and… I don't want to say it," Mewtwo explained, taking a small breath in between sentences, " Why are we doing this? We get paid for taking care of these Pokémon that the trainers drop off before going to camp. We'll need the money to bribe the Pokémon League to not disturb this place at all. This meant that they can't make this place a reserve for the public to know, which is why this place is not known to other people. Did you get everything I said?"
I heard everything, but in the middle of the details I was thinking about how I got off so easily against Larry. If he had all nine badges, his Pokémon had to be at a very high level to beat the gym leaders, yet I was only at level 46, perhaps even level 45!
" MEWTHREE!" Mewtwo shouted, " Do you mind if Bulbasaur stayed in your room with you?"
After escorting Bulbasaur to my room, I took out the, " Level status," machine and pointed it at Mewtwo, who was at the moment busy with the new guests. Mewtwo was only at level 50! No wonder why Larry beat him… but how did III beat him? Especially since III was even MORE low-leveled!
I looked at the statuses of some of the other new Pokémon and then went back to my room for a short nap. Bulbasaur was level 32, which meant that he could've been a Venusaur like my friend by now. The Great Master still has an unevolved Bulbasaur because it did not want to become ugly and uncontrollable like most evolved Pokémon, no offense or anything to my friends (though I think Pidgeot looks the best against Pidgey and Pidgeotto).
I spent the rest of the day battling a bunch of weak trainers and getting lots of money, which Meowth took.
December 23, 2047
Mewtwo and Meowth call this day, " Festival day," where most of the Pokémon in our topia go into town and set up our own booths to please people and get money. None of the people that come don't know about Pokétopia and this year will be much more profitable because of Mewtwo's communicator blocks (he made a few more smaller ones since that day we met).
Here are some things that Meowth says to advertise the places to other people. Pidgeot, Pidgey and Fearow flew around in the air, with Pidgeot carrying Meowth and the other two holding banners in their claws.
" Come on and take an exciting ride on Sandshrew and Sandslash's roller coaster ride! And while you're waiting for your turn, watch Clefable's hilarious comedy show!" Meowth said over the P.A. (he carried a cordless microphone with him), " Don't forget to drop off your kids at Vaporeon's daycare while take a nice look at Mewtwo's incredble inventions! After a long day of fun and laughing, come to Superball's relax and massage center!"
After hearing this, I went over to Mewtwo's booth and asked him what a Superball was. I received ANOTHER long explanation…
" Superball is a special Pokéball with its own mind that was created artificially by me. Of course I could've sold him, but making an artificial mind if VERY difficult! This little guy has a lot more stuff than meets the eye," said Mewtwo.
" Superball has almost unlimited endurance, making his defense very great, which makes up for its poor attack. If you use a level status machine you will find that he's level 79! He has electric fire, water, and normal moves. He also acts as a temporary Masterball!"
Temporary Masterball?
" In a battle, Superball can capture the opponent Pokémon and command it to do what it wants, but he can only do control Pokémon at a time!"
" But if he can do that, couldn't he control you?" I asked Mewtwo.
" Ah, but Superball is programmed to obey me no matter what happens, AND he can't harm me!" Mewtwo answered, " Have I told you enough?"
" Hold on a minute! What about healings?" I said.
" Oh! Superball acts as a Chansey, using Softboiled to help us in case one of us gets hurt! Of course, he's able to Recover outside of battle, making our team almost IMPOSSIBLE to beat!"
" NOTHING is impossible for TEAM ROCKET!"
Mewtwo and I whipped our heads to see what was behind us. Three of the customers who wore raincoats tore off the article clothing to reveal themselves as…
" To protect the world from devastation!"
" To unite all people within our nation!"
" To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
" To extend our reach to the stars above!"
" Jesse…"
" James…"
" Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!"
" Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
" And now to blast this joint sky high!"
Meowth pushed some sort of lever and…
BLLAAAAAAM!!!
Chaos! Blown up booth were flying through the air, our Meowth was jabbering his head off about how much he hated Team Rocket, people were cursing and praying and Pokémon were crying out roars of stupidity! Not like being blown into the sky by Team Rocket was considered stupidity…
" Team Rocket's blasting off again!" Jesse said happily while the whole gang flew out of sight.
There was a large amount of dust in the air, so the flying ones blew it away. Just about all of the people were coughing while most of the Pokémon were ready to battle (a little late for that!). Mewtwo was gliding around looking for something.
" Superball! Where are you?" he yelled, " No! Those Team Rocket jerks took him!"
Hmm, that's no surprise! After hearing about how great Superball was, who WOULDN'T want to steal it? There shouldn't be any worry either. Team Rocket seems to mess up every time they try to do something…
" Does Superball have the programming to defend itself?" I asked Mewtwo.
" Yeah, but I didn't know this was coming so I didn't put in the special computer chip that allows him to attack!" he said, still frantic.
Gee. This is just PERFECT! Busting up Team Rocket really ought to get me more experience! First, we have to find where the gang is, then we attack! I bet Mewtwo and I can take care of them ourselves.
" Fearow!" Mewtwo called to the bird, " Go look and find Superball! They're probably hiding in a large building. Go!"
The large flying Pokémon obeyed the order and left the blown up area. The other Pokémon had to recuperate and clean up the gigantic mess around us. I quickly flew back to Pokétopia to pick up a few potions and healings.
Once I got back, Mewtwo told me that Fearow had come back with information. The Team Rocket gang was trying to get Superball to obey them in the Pokémon tower!
That instant we stepped into the tower, a Gastly was staring at my face. I stared back at it.
There was a very tense pause between the both of us. Its eyes that were larger than its (well, he didn't HAVE a body) glared at me, trying to intimidate me. I looked back with just as much force. The ghost stared and stared and…
YAH! It stuck its tongue out at me! I jumped back in shock, confused for a moment. Why'd he do that?
Mewtwo was watching us the whole time. " Ha, ha! That was quite a show you two put up! Come on. Gengar's waiting to escort us!" he said.
" But… How did you know about these ghosts?" I asked.
" I don't just know these ghosts, one of the Pokémon from the volunteer center IS Gengar, remember?" he replied, walking towards the stairs, " Team Rocket is on the sixth floor. We've got to get Superball back!"
I nodded and followed Mewtwo as he went up the first flight of stairs. Unfortunately, the stairs were always on the other side of the room for everyone's inconvenience. If you ask me, they should have built an elevator here.
" Oh, and by the way," Mewtwo said to me when we reached the third floor, " You better not use Explosive Array on Team Rocket this time. I knew because Meowth told me. Besides, wouldn't some people notice if there was a giant hole in the Pokémon tower?"
On the fifth floor, Gengar waited at the stairs and said that he'll wait until we got Superball back. Up ahead a flight I could hear Team Rocket talking…
" Does Superball obey other people?" I questioned once again to Mewtwo.
" Only if he's forced to! I doubt that Team Rocket could do that," Mewtwo said in a worried matter, " When we go into battle, I want you to remember that I'm more of the intelligent type of Mewtwo, not a powerful type. Got that?" I nodded.
" What's WRONG with you?" shouted Jesse, " Just capture the darn Marowak or else you'll get it!"
" That's right!" Meowth sneered. I heard the sound of knives which was obviously Meowth's claws retracting. A simple scratch or slash wouldn't do much to Superball!
Mewtwo was ready to charge. He raced up the stairs in mid-air and shouted, " Sorry, Meowth! YOU'RE the ones who're going to get it!"
" Oh, no, it's THEM again! Ekans, Koffing, GO!" Jesse and James tossed their Pokéballs onto the ground. Two poison Pokémon popped out from them.
I took out the level status machine. Both of the Team Rocket Pokémon were level 32, believe it our not! They should still be a simple task.
Since we were inside a building, digging could be used easily, but I decided not to. Ekans could do under a floor if I went. Koffing was ordered to use Smog, but I used Confusion and reflected the smoke, causing the two enemies to become lost in the dark clouds.
Jesse, James and Meowth were coughing, little realizing that Koffing and Ekans were attacking each other. Mewtwo was checking on Superball, so I decided to use Metronome. I started to glow some, so I thought that I was going to do a flying attack, but…
The glowing was getting brighter! By now, all of the smoke was gone and the gang was looking at me, wondering what I was doing.
Suddenly, a large explosion virtually destroyed the tower and-
