Survive This
"After all of the darkness and sadness,
soon comes happiness
If I surround myself with positive things,
I'll gain prosperity."

"Do you know how many worlds I can annihilate? So many, and our power will simply become greater than before." He slithered towards me, unhindered by the lack of water. "I will do this because I am the leader of my kind and I can.""No, you will not be allowed to do this to anyone else. I won't let you." I felt the power brimming within me, felt the knowlege of the attacks this Charizard knew. It was nothing helpful, but Mewtwo had given me a present before he was cut from my mind. A powerful present, a part of his knowlege.
"Do you know my level within Pokemon terms? I am a level 252 and I will crush you so easily!" He sighed, pleased with himself. "I am such a great leader!"
"You suck." I said simply. "Truth hurts, doesn't it? I mean, how good is an evolved Magicarp?"
He roared at me, sounding like a freight-train, and I saw power glowing at his mouth. Hyper Beam.
"Let's get it on!" I said, taking off into the air. I blasted him with Flamethrower twice before he was totally powered up. Unfortunately, my attacks did nearly zippo and I was right in front of him. I barely dodged the beam. It warmed my back, but didn' t touch me. It slammed into the wall behind me, but not through it.
"Hah, sucker!" I scoffed at him. "What a fish-brain."
"At least I'm not a weak human, bound by emotions to others of my kind." While prepping another Hyper Beam, he motioned with his head. From the corner of my eye, I saw a crystal being raised just behind and to the right of me. The frosted surface cleared to show a teenage girl, no older than eighteen. She was totally unconscious, oblivious to any danger. "Try and stop this, if you can!"
"You can't!" I protested.
The beam tore from his gaping maw, darting towards the girl, and I flew to intercept it. It scraped at my belly and gouged a score along my ankle. It continued through and hit the crystal full impact. The crystal exploded in millions of bits, but none of them touched the 'floor' as they disappeared into silver energy, sucked into the hole.
The pain in my ankle was nothing compared to the pain in my heart. I didn't know her, but I knew she didn't deserve such a death. I glared at the Gyarados with utter contempt.
"Are you ready to truly fight? Or shall we play more games?" A pause. "Perhaps with Master Oak?" Another crystal began to rise and I dropped onto it, ignoring my ankle.
"No, no more. We fight now." And we did, the fight an intense match of instincts. Mine were bad and reflexively human. I couldn't access the Dark Charizards instincts and I would lose if I didn't try something new. Surf attacks, followed by more Hyper Beams had me shakey. I needed something new.
I leapt into the air and let Mewtwo's knowlege override me. Images of Mewtwo's p.o.v. of the fight with Mew on New Island, and then the intense blasts that hit and killed Ash. For so few images, his memories, the knowlege was unfound of in its power. The power I held deep inside, my power.
Tapping into the power of the people in the crystals, I borrowed it, added it to mine, and, on opening my eyes, I could see it flowing to me, surrounding me with a silver hue. The Pokedemon was shying away from the intense light, shifted back to his human form, and shielded his eyes with an arm.
The power roiled within me and I raised my forearms and felt it pool in my palms. I cupped them together, and with a hoarse cry, I released the power in an intense beam from both my palms and with an aided Flamethrower of pure energy. They streaked towards the Pokedemon and his portal and impacted.
There was a blinding flash and a roaring explosion and I had to look away, shielding myself with one wing. After a brief rain of rubble, I looked back and saw that the portal in the floor had been sealed over with thick stone. A stone hand was reaching up from the center of the sealed hole and I sighed. "No one will cry for you, looser."
Speaking of which...
Rumbling came from all around me and Mewtwo's voice called out suddenly. "Cirrus, the portal is going to collapse in on itself! You need to get yourself and the people out of there!"
"But how?! They're encased in crystals that are encased in the floor!" Plus I was so exhausted, I wasn't sure if I could fly out. I wasn't sure if I could fly, period. Suddenly, the floor began to shake and I leapt into the air, my borrowed wings killing me. What happened next, was amazing.
Each crystal lifted out of the floor and into the air. For some reason, probably physics, I don't really know, gravity seemed to have vanished again. Good thing, because all of the crystals fractured and broke into pieces, freeing the people within. Next thing I knew, there were around three hundred people free-floating.
Hastily, I got out Meowth's gift, a huge Pikachu catching net, garuanteed to hold five-hundred comfortably. Thick straps fit around me like those on a parachute harness, over my neck and around my torso. The net dangled from steel cables between my forearms and I zipped around the area, snagging unconscious people in the net. Making sure the circular room was empty, I darted into the hallway, swept up, down, and up again until I finally had everyone.
The walls began shaking and collapsing. I had very little time left. Though gravity was near non-existant, the net was bulky and heavy and I hoped there were a lot of Pokemon ready. "Mewtwo, I'm coming out! Make sure you guys are ready for a big load!"
The confirmation was immediate, "We are completely ready, but you have a problem!"
"What?!"
"Your net had a hole in it, you lost two people in the hallway!"
I looked back and, sure enough, there were two people. One was waaay in the back and the other was halfway. I swooped back and caught the one person, a middle aged woman, in my claws. I was going back for the last when Mewtwo stopped me.
"Get those people out! That last one is expendable!" Mewtwo snarled. "You have no time!"
Snarling on my own, I aimed for the small white hole that was so high above me. The white hole got bigger and I looked back down at the person left behind. "I'm sorry," I whispered, staring at the prone figure.
Then I noticed the black fog swirling towards it. The Pokedemons would have their fun after all. I booked it for the white light and into the sunset of the Pokemon world. Immediately, vines were tugging the net that suddenly got so heavy. Mewtwo, Mew, and other Psychic pokemon lifted the weight as well. Mew undid the net from the harness, unclipping it and letting the net drop safely into the grasp of the Pokemon below.
There were a lot of Pokemon, including all of the Legendaries. No hiding them now. Hopefully, there weren't any fools with Masterballs. Mew flew up to me and nearly shouted, "How could you leave him in there! You idiot!"
Used to talking, I tried asking "Who?" but it came out as a Charr-ed roar.
Mew understood enough and hit me on my head. "Gary, you idiot! You left him behind!"

- Well crap, that sux. Will Gary be saved or doomed?
A.N.
- How did Cirrus manage to beat a L252 Pokedemon? I haven't a clue. Call it...Hidden Power. The L252 Pokedemon is actually just me ripping on the people that claim to have Pokemon with these exaggerated, "Hey I used cheat codes", Power Levels. I guess one could have a Pokemon with that high a Power Level w/o cheating, but that would take a Looooong Time.
IMPORTANT!!!
With me figuring FF.net will probably mess up again, I have my own website on the backburners. I'll be posting my fics and anyone elses *if they want to!*. It'll be more of a just-in-case type of thing and will be up by next weekend.
FF.net has not been working for me since Thursday 06.21.01 and it's really bad 'cause a lot of fics have been posted!! Argh!!
