C. Cowboy: Two chapters in one day! What can I say I am good! Anyway, on request I have another song in this one, Garth Brooks' Standing Outside The Fire. I was going to use the song I used in the first T.O.D., The Touch, but I thought I'd save it for the last big fight. Anyway, let the battle between one super-charged Pikachu and several hundred Mewtwos began.

CHAPTER 8: LEVEL 400+

Amanda stared at the duo that was SAPPOSED to be dead. "So Crystal's weaker then I thought!" Amanda said as she signaled for twelve Mewtwos to come forward and attack them, in a second twelve down several hundred to go. Amanda as well as everyone else stared in shock. Ash looked down at his friend, "Alright Pikachu, stop playing around and lets get this over with!" Pikachu looked up at Ash disappointedly and nodded. Pikachu then jumped right in the middle of the Mewtwos, "What level is that thing?" Amanda asked staring at Pikachu making mincemeat out of the Mewtwos. Amanda grabbed her Pokedex and scanned Pikachu, "Scan the level." Amanda ordered the Pokedex, Scanning Said the dex's computerized voice. Then all of the sudden it started to yell, OVER LOAD OVER LOAD Then the Pokedex went dead and started to smoke. Amanda's eyes went wider, "MY POKEDEX WILL SCAN UP TO LEVEL 400! THAT THING CAN'T BE THAT POWERFUL, THE MEWTWOS ARE ONLY AROUND 200!!"

Pikachu cheeks began to glow as it sent out a massive Ultra Shock blast obliterating fifty Mewtwos that couldn't get out of the way. "I thought Pikachu had to power up before he cold use that attack!" Brock said watching the one sided battle. Ash smiled, "Not when that's his weakest move now."

We call them cool,

Those Hearts that have no scars to show,

The ones that never do let go,

And risk the tables being turned.

Pikachu continued blasting Mewtwos when they finally had him surrounded and around twenty-five attacked with Psychic causing a large explosion and a large amount of smoke.

We call them fools

Who have to dance with in the flame,

Who chance the sorrow and the shame,

That always comes with getting burned.

When the smoke cleared Pikachu didn't have a scratch on him. He looked up at the fear stricken Mewtwos and yawned, "Pika pi chu? Pika kachu, pi pika!" 'Was that your best shot? Do that again, that tickled!' Ash then called out, "PIKACHU ULTRA BOLT!!!" Pikachu nodded and jumped into the air.

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire 'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire!

Pikachu then rolled in a ball and started to spin in mid-air. Lightning began to strike and form a electric bubble around his body. Then he absorbed the bubble and then aimed it at the ground and shot it out. The blast hit the ground and caused an explosion that took out over a hundred Mewtwos.

We call them strong,

Those who can face this world alone

Those who seem to get by on their own,

Those who will never take the fall.

"This can't be happening!" Amanda screamed watching the so call Invincible Army being laid to waste by one little Pikachu. Brock and Gary began to cheer wildly as Pikachu wiped out even more Mewtwos with out them even ruffling up his fur.

We call them weak,

Those who are unable to resist,

The slightest chance love might exist,

And for that forsake it all

"ALRIGHT PIKACHU, LETS END THIS! OMEGA SHOCK!!!" Ash yelled as Amanda went white as a sheet.

They're so hell bent on giving

Walking a wire,

Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire.

Pikachu then tightly closed his eyes and the ground began to tremble. Mewtwos began to step back, too scared to run.

Standing outside the fire!

Standing out side the fire!

Life is not tried, it is merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire!

The ground began to break and electricity and sparks began to shoot from the holes.

There's this love that is burning deep in my soul!

Constantly yearning to get out of control!

Wanting to fly, higher and higher!

I can't abide standing outside the fire!

Then Pikachu jumped into the air and spread out his arms and legs as the whole field where the Mewtwo was engulfed in a gigantic lightning bolt that blinded the ones watching from the hill.

Standing outside the fire!

Standing out side the fire!

Life is not tried, it is merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire!

Once the dust settled the only motion was Pikachu running back to Ash. Pikachu jumped to Ash's side and hissed at Amanda. Amanda slowly eased away from the pokemon, "Um… I…uh… g-guess… you won this time… b-but I'll be back! with more Mewtwos!!!" Amanda said before making a mad dash toward her plane. Ash then picked up Pikachu and hugged him. the others went over to congratulate the reunited friends, but the reunion was cut short by Misty screaming, Ash quickly went to her side, "Mist, What's wrong?" Misty tear-filled eyes never left Togapi, "Ash, Togapi's… n-not breathing."

TO BE CONTINUED…

C. Cowboy: OK Pikachu is now the most powerful Pokemon known of, and soundly defeated the undefeatable. But the Mewtwos did manage defeat Brock's Onix, Entei, Lugia, and Ho-oh and Togapi might have made the ultimate sacrifice for Ash and Misty. What will happen to Togapi, how soon will Amanda return, and will she possibly have the power to take down the super-charged Pikachu?
