Disclaimer: I don't own any thing except, Holly, Meyer, Sky, and Lansky.
The general plot is mine, but it was/is vaguely in Dragoness's universe.
To the reviewers:
Dragoness: I changed a few things and I did some editing. I hope the finished package is better then the incomplete one. I know the last couple of pages where very, very, very close to EC, but I couldn't help it. There wasn't anyway around it ending up that way. So if you are angry with me, I apologize in advance.
Alex Warlorn: I still want to know if Mewtwo wasn't eloquent in his counter- arguments. I feel that it may have been too one sided. *Sweatdrops* And did I answer all of your questions to this point in my e-mail? And is this chapter better then the last?
Lighting-Strike: More is coming, and Cliffhangers are one of the most annoying and the best part of stories.
{Ok sports, there is only one more chapter after this, then the epilogue. Then I'll actual finish a story!}
Gary sleep after his battle with Mewtwo. Ash was off in a corner getting the armor he was in taken off by the super clone. Nekiro and sky were watching Mewtwo warily. Holly was outside watching the slowly revolving storm. Since the others arrival, the storm had calmed but it hadn't gotten any weaker either.
[So, just how many of you mews are there?] Mewtwo asked.
*Not enough, * Nekiro said sighing. *But the number is about several hundred, as opposed to the tens of thousands that could have been. *
[What happen to your kind anyway?] Mewtwo asked his curiosity overcoming resentment for a moment.
*Humans have forgotten the relationship between them and pokémon, * Holly said hovering back into the room. *So they no longer evolve into mews. *
*Nonsense, sure they have been separated from pokémon for a while, but these two prove that they are coming around, * Sky said to looking at Holly.
*Always the optimist, eh Sky? * Nekiro stated. *This may mean humans are coming around, but it could just be a fluke. * (Or it could be that other thing…)
*Well I agree with Sky, I think that Gary and I aren't just random chance, * Ash said. Mewtwo had freed his head and now was working on his body.
[All of this is very interesting. I had no clue mews evolved from anything,] Mewtwo sent.
*Well that's understandable. You've been alive only for a short time haven't you? But to tell you the truth I just found out about most of this quiet recently. Why don't you come back with us to Pallet town? I have a friend who's cooking is to die for, and everyone would be happy to be your friend, * Ash asked.
[You would have me, even after I tried to kill your friend?] Mewtwo sent to Ash.
*Sure. I know Gary will get over it, * he said finally free from the armor. *As long as you don't try to do it again. * Ash said after a short pause.
*Speaking of which, were is he? * Sky asked. She looked around and noticed Holly was missing as well. The mew in question had woken up, healed from using rest and he immediately left the room. Holly who was quietly watching him followed. When she found him he was watching the storm moving slowly away from New Island, as the eye was finally moving.
*This is the eye of the storm, when we hit the eye wall the winds will be coming from the other direction. That means that the most damage will happen then since everything else in the storm's path was weakened before, * Gary told the time crosser.
*That's true, But, It's odd, why is the storm still in action if Mewtwo doesn't seem to be maintaining it? * She asked.
*Tell me, did you know it was going to end up this way? Did you plan this? * Gary asked her suddenly.
*I had no way of knowing what would happen. I thought that with both of you having the knowledge of evolution that the prophecy would be weaken or neutralized. I never expected both of you to evolve… * She said.
*Prophecy…yes that explains some things. Did you know that Ash and I are still psychically linked? I told him we weren't but we still are. *
*Well you shouldn't be, because that could cause problems. I can dissolve that if you wait one moment, * Holly said slowly hovering forward.
*Oh I'm sure you want to try, but you can't… * Gary said laughing quietly. *That would destroy all your hard work. No I think I'll stay this way a bit longer, because you see I understand how to save the future. * Holly looked questioningly at the boy for a moment. She then used future sight to see what he was planning.
*You can't! * She exclaimed snapping out of her vision.
*I must… * Gary whispered. Suddenly the mew turned from his quiet contemplation of the tempest and threw a sphere of darkness at Holly. It splashed across her freezing her in a field of dark energy. Gary calmly teleported her away from the island. *Sorry… I know you hoped for the best. * He then zipped off to find Ash.
*Ash, I want to ask you something, * Gary said as he floated into the room. He found Mewtwo talking to his fellow clones with Ash, Nekiro and Sky watching nearby. Everyone focused on him when he entered the room.
*Yes Gary? * Ash asked warily, suddenly having a bad feeling.
*I want to know where Nekiro found you. I want to talk to the team rocket leader, * Gary said.
*What! Why? * Ash asked almost panicking.
*Don't worry; you don't have to come with me. I just need you to show me the way, * Gary said.
[I'm coming with you. I have some unfinished business with him,] Mewtwo sent.
*I'll be glad to have you watching my back, * Gary said.
*Nekiro and I are going too. We're not going to jump in unless you are going to killed or something, * Sky said.
*I have to agree with Ash. This is a stupid thing to do, * Nekiro said shaking his head.
*First we'll stop by Pallet and then we're going to the pay the boss a visit, * Gary said. Outside of Pallet, four flashes of light happened. Gary, Ash, Sky and Mewtwo appeared. Nekiro said that he didn't want to come just yet. Sky and Mewtwo held back as Gary and Ash entered town limits. Ash and Gary floated above the empty streets. There was an eerie twilight as the town had battened down and waited for the storm.
*Gary, I'm going to go see my mom. Are you going to see you family? * Ash asked looking to the horizon. The hurricane they just left slowly came toward land, and Ash was worried.
*Yes, I am going to see someone, * Gary said dashing off. Ash looked after him, and when his separate way. Gary landed in the backyard of his grandfather's lab, and he noticed that Janine and the professor where boarding up the back sliding door. [Hello, I'm back,] He sent softly. They both turned around and Janine ran over and hugged him.
*Where have you been! I've been worried about you! * Janine said.
[I was almost got caught up in the storm. I had to take a longer way to get back,] he responded.
"Did you hear? Ash got kidnapped from his challenge with Lance, head of the elite four," The ninja girl said.
[Really? I have a feeling he will be just fine. Ash has a lot of friends to watch his back. Do you know where my pokémon are?] He asked changing the subject.
"They're in the store room. They will be safer in there since that room is reinforced," Professor Oak said. "Why do you need to know?"
[I need took to talk to them for a moment,] Gary sent as he floated around the house to come in the open front door. Gary floated and opened the door to the pokéball storeroom. He found Pikachu sitting by the door.
*Gary! Where have you been! * The electric mouse said as soon as he floated in the room.
*Sorry I worried you. I was some place where I found myself. I think I have a way to stop what Holly told us about the future but I need you and the others help for it, * the mew said.
*Sure we'll be with you. But Gary, something about you has changed, * Pikachu said looking at the trainer suspiciously.
*You must be just noticing my new found confidence, * Gary said not exactly looking into his eyes. Before pikachu could say anything else he found the pokéballs for the others. *Come out everyone! * Gary said. A burst of mental energy and several flashes later all of Gary's pokémon found themselves not in the store room but out in the preserve.
*Hi guys and gals. I need to ask you if you are up for a battle, * Gary asked. *I want to take down the Team Rocket boss, and I need all of the firepower I can get.
*I would love to, * Charge said the nidorino shaking his head. *It beats waiting around here. *
*Why not, I can't let you do it on you own, * Eve said. The umbreon looked at the sandslash next to her who just nodded. *And Cutter feels the same way. *
*Do you really have to ask? * Driller his beedrill asked. *You're the leader. * He said.
*Of course I'm coming, * Magi his gyarados said. *You've done too many things alone as it is, * She said.
*I agree with Magi, you have done too much alone, so I'm coming as well, * His tangela Doodles said.
*Will there be a large audience? * His jigglypuff Diva asked. The others stared at her for a moment. *Never mind I'll come anyway, just be grateful that I am willing to help. *
*Think of all of the jokes we can play. This is too much fun to miss, * Gary's haunter Marie said. *Am I right Miki? * She asked the female machop who nodded in agreement.
*You now I can't miss a melee the size you are talking about, * Storm bringer said. The Fearow was inching for a good fight.
*I'm coming. I really dislike team rocket… * the arcanine Flameheart said.
*Will there by ice cream! No wait never mind. I just want to come to! * Lansky said from atop his head. The little ice/psychic type was happy to take part in a real battle.
*I think you should stay here with me, * Forgotten said to her. The omanyte was the only one who was going to stay. He felt that he would only make things worse.
*I think I speak for everyone and say let's go, * Pikachu said.
*Thanks. Return everyone! * Gary said. He floated his belt up and attached everyone's pokéballs to it, with the exception of Pikachu, Lansky, and Forgotten. He sent the pouting the smoochum and the omanyte back to the storeroom. He threw the belt over his shoulder and was about to fly to Ash's house when the boy in question floated down next him.
*Gary, I told the others I was coming with you to show you something, * Ash said. *They said as long as we our back in an hour we can go. *
*Well then, let's get moving that storm will catch up to us if we don't hurry, * Gary said floating back in the direction Mewtwo was. Ash nodded and both he and Pikachu followed.
Viridian city. The first town that new trainers in the Kanto league can pass though, and the place where one can earn the earth badge, the eighth Kanto badge. This wasn't Gary's destination, but some place in the northern section of the city, Team Rocket headquarters.
*So this is the place? * Gary asked. Ash and Mewtwo nodded. *Then, let's go in. * Mewtwo started to follow and surprisingly Ash came in as well.
*Ash you're coming in? * Gary asked startled.
The other mew nodded then said, *I have a question to ask him. The last time I saw him he just thought I was just a rare pokémon. He thought I owned myself, since he couldn't recognize me as Ash, even if that one guy kept telling him I was. * Mewtwo walked in the front doors along with Gary, Pikachu and Ash.
[Giovanni, I know you are here! Come and face me!] He shouted into everyone in the building minds. The few rockets that were startled to see three rare pokémon and a slightly more common one just strode in the main doors. The rocket's hands went to their pokéballs. Ash dealt with them hitting them with a thunder wave stopping them in there tracks. The four didn't have to wait long for a voice came out over the intercom.
"Ah my old friend mewtwo, please come inside. I will meet you two doors down and to the left," Giovanni's voiced said.
[Shall we?] Gary sent, floating across the black tiled floor. Going thought the double doors next to the reception desk. Mewtwo and Ash followed, coming in behind. Opening the door Giovanni asked them to they found the red suited gangster standing across a battle arena.
"Welcome back Mewtwo! I see you have brought "Ash" and another friend. I didn't think you would need the help," He said with a smirk.
Gary adjusted his pendent then sent, [I have a score to settle with you guys, that's why I'm here too.]
[Don't concern yourself over who I associate with,] sent Mewtwo his eyes narrowing and starting to glow a cold blue.
*Mewtwo, Gary, don't do anything that you might later regret, * Ash said looking back and forth between the two.
"Mewtwo why don't you join me again. Together we can rule the world. You know you purpose was to be at my side," Giovanni said.
[You have no idea what anyone's destiny is, even your own. So you have no right to speak of purpose. Your actions have made both pokémon and people alike to suffer. This will end here,] Gary sent his eyes starting to glow blue also.
"Really? If that's the way you feel, then let's began," Giovanni said releasing a starmie and an alakazam who both immediately used light screen, as both Gary and Mewtwo used psychic at the same time. Giovanni started to release dozens and dozens of pokémon, several of each type and species. Ash watched in awe as both Gary and Mewtwo laid waste to the small army of pokémon sent against them. Giovanni calmly walked over to one corner and pushed a button, lowering one showerhead like device in the right side of the room in the corner. Between Gary's versatility and speed, and Mewtwo's experience and power they decimated Giovanni's Pokémon army. As Gary and Mewtwo sent pokémon after pokémon down, the shower in the corner started to spray the pokémon that were weakening or knocked out. Those it hit jumped up and headed back in to the fray. But they weren't being brought back fast enough and Gary and Mewtwo were slowly winning. Giovanni frowned and hit another button and yet another showerhead dropped from across the room.
[Ash, if there are two of those things we won't be able to win, Get rid of one of them!] Gary said ducking away from a rhyhorn's take down. Gary span up, then threw out all of his pokéballs. *Attack any one except that large purple pokémon they're attacking and Ash, * Gary ordered. Gary's pokémon jumped in with a will, surprisingly holding their own against the horde. Ash in the mean time had been on the edge darted into the fray. Weaving around flying pokémon and attacks he finally teleported the last of the distance and stopped hovering in front of the shower the most distant from Giovanni. He looked at it for a moment then physically twisted it into a knot.
"Get the other mew, don't let it destroy the other shower!" He ordered. A beedrill broke off attacking Gary's tangela and went after Ash who was flying fast and low to the ground.
Ash glanced at the bee and yelled, *you don't want to do this! *
*I'm sorry I have my orders… * He said back. Suddenly the bug was toasted by a fire blast from Flameheart. The arcanine bounded off in search for another target. Ash sighed in relief, which was short lived as Gary pushed him out of the way of a spore cloud. They both teleported out of the way of a golbat's charge. Gary turned and fried the annoying bat with a thunder attack.
*Watch your back, * Gary said coldly as he dove back in to battle coming to the aid of his fearow. Ash nodded and continued his approach to the shower. He was going so fast however that he darted right under it.
*Hey everybody this stuff is a mix of full restore and max revive, * He yelled out. He was paying so much attention to the battle that he failed to notice Giovanni coming up behind him with an ultra ball. Throwing at Ash's back just he was turning around, he would have had him if Eve hadn't knocked it aside with a quick attack. Shortly there after Gary, his pokémon and Mewtwo found themselves next to Ash. Giovanni turned off the last sprinkler and Gary called back all of his pokémon. The three pokémon turned
"Well done, but do you really think you can just leave here?" The rocket boss asked. Ash didn't answer him with words, instead a white light covered him as his shape began to blur. The mew slowly floated to the gangster who stepped back in mild alarm. When Ash reached Giovanni he was standing as a human in his usual outfit, minus his hat. The trainer stared at the rocket, who was mildly stunned.
"When we last met, you said one of your agents, Meyer I think his name was, told you what happened to me, but you didn't truly believe him did you? But now, now that am like I was, I want to ask you something that I am starting to believe. Are you my father?" Ash asked as he stopped in front of Giovanni looking into the older man's eyes.
"But…how…why?" He stuttered. He took a deep breath to center himself, and then he nodded. "Yes I am, Ash. But that changes some things and yet nothing. I still want you by my side," Giovanni said quietly. Ash silently shook his head. "Then you leave me no choice," Giovanni said. He raised his hand to give the order to attack again, but as he did, a bolt of lighting lanced down and struck him. Shocked he stumbled back falling against the wall. Unfortunately for Giovanni, this was not the moment to show any kind of weakness. Gary looked over at the upper balcony, where Pikachu had snuck up to and was watching the whole battle.
(Perfect, yet bad timing. This is about to get ugly,) he thought when he noticed the pokémon starting to charge the still stunned Giovanni. Ash turned and changed back into a mew. He floated in-between the pokémon and Giovanni and blinded everyone with flash.
While they where stunned Ash spoke up, [what are you doing? You can't kill him. That is the worse thing you could do. If you kill him you would be worse then he is now. No amount of wrongdoing can justify taking another's life. Otherwise, how could anyone repent or change their ways? Can we judge what a person may do, for good or evil? So that why you shouldn't do that, because well, it's just not right.]
[Nice, except for the end, which is all you,] Gary dryly commented as Pikachu made his way to them.
[Mewtwo can you send those pokémon who have trainers back to them?] Ash asked.
[Yes, I can,] he said.
[Could you do that now?] Ash sent. Mewtwo nodded and most of the pokémon just vanished. A small handful was left.
"See here…" Giovanni started to say, before Gary hit him with thunder wave causing him to drop to the ground. Pikachu came over to Gary, and he handed him his pokéball belt. The mew nodded his thanks.
[You may be Ash's Pop, but you have caused enough trouble. Just let the kid go,] Gary sent. Giovanni paused in thought as he looked up at the floating mew. He noticed his pendent and could almost place his voice. [I'm not sure I agree with Ash. I think the world may a better place without you.] He continued as Ash, Mewtwo, Pikachu, and the other pokémon vanished.
"Y…Your…Gary Oak, aren't you?" He asked in awe.
[I am and yet I am not,] Gary whispered as looked down at him. Ash reappeared.
[Gary, come on. There is no reason to stay here,] he sent looking at Gary's back.
*Ash, meet me south of Pallet on Route 21. You know the grass area near the ocean. * Gary said without turning around. He then teleported himself and Giovanni out of the building. Ash was shocked.
(Gary what are you doing?) He thought.
The last vision:
There will be a conflict of Good vs. Evil.
There will be hatred, love, friendship, loneness, pain, and joy.
The worst part of the storm hits.
One who is pure will meet one who is not.
And the last mew to comes in to existence,
As the vision strengthens before the end.

Gary sleep after his battle with Mewtwo. Ash was off in a corner getting the armor he was in taken off by the super clone. Nekiro and sky were watching Mewtwo warily. Holly was outside watching the slowly revolving storm. Since the others arrival, the storm had calmed but it hadn't gotten any weaker either.

*Mewtwo, Gary, don't do anything that you might later regret, * Ash said looking back and forth between the two.
"Mewtwo why don't you join me again. Together we can rule the world. You know you purpose was to be at my side," Giovanni said.
[You have no idea what anyone's destiny is, even your own. So you have no right to speak of purpose. Your actions have made both pokémon and people alike to suffer. This will end here,] Gary sent his eyes starting to glow blue also.
"Really? If that's the way you feel, then let's began," Giovanni said releasing a starmie and an alakazam who both immediately used light screen, as both Gary and Mewtwo used psychic at the same time. Giovanni started to release dozens and dozens of pokémon, several of each type and species. Ash watched in awe as both Gary and Mewtwo laid waste to the small army of pokémon sent against them. Giovanni calmly walked over to one corner and pushed a button, lowering one showerhead like device in the right side of the room in the corner. Between Gary's versatility and speed, and Mewtwo's experience and power they decimated Giovanni's Pokémon army. As Gary and Mewtwo sent pokémon after pokémon down, the shower in the corner started to spray the pokémon that were weakening or knocked out. Those it hit jumped up and headed back in to the fray. But they weren't being brought back fast enough and Gary and Mewtwo were slowly winning. Giovanni frowned and hit another button and yet another showerhead dropped from across the room.
[Ash, if there are two of those things we won't be able to win, Get rid of one of them!] Gary said ducking away from a rhyhorn's take down. Gary span up, then threw out all of his pokéballs. *Attack any one except that large purple pokémon they're attacking and Ash, * Gary ordered. Gary's pokémon jumped in with a will, surprisingly holding their own against the horde. Ash in the mean time had been on the edge darted into the fray. Weaving around flying pokémon and attacks he finally teleported the last of the distance and stopped hovering in front of the shower the most distant from Giovanni. He looked at it for a moment then physically twisted it into a knot.
"Get the other mew, don't let it destroy the other shower!" He ordered. A beedrill broke off attacking Gary's tangela and went after Ash who was flying fast and low to the ground.
Ash glanced at the bee and yelled, *you don't want to do this! *
*I'm sorry I have my orders… * He said back. Suddenly the bug was toasted by a fire blast from Flameheart. The arcanine bounded off in search for another target. Ash sighed in relief, which was short lived as Gary pushed him out of the way of a spore cloud. They both teleported out of the way of a golbat's charge. Gary turned and fried the annoying bat with a thunder attack.
*Watch your back, * Gary said coldly as he dove back in to battle coming to the aid of his fearow. Ash nodded and continued his approach to the shower. He was going so fast however that he darted right under it.
*Hey everybody this stuff is a mix of full restore and max revive, * He yelled out. He was paying so much attention to the battle that he failed to notice Giovanni coming up behind him with an ultra ball. Throwing at Ash's back just he was turning around, he would have had him if Eve hadn't knocked it aside with a quick attack. Shortly there after Gary, his pokémon and Mewtwo found themselves next to Ash. Giovanni turned off the last sprinkler and Gary called back all of his pokémon. The three pokémon turned
"Well done, but do you really think you can just leave here?" The rocket boss asked. Ash didn't answer him with words, instead a white light covered him as his shape began to blur. The mew slowly floated to the gangster who stepped back in mild alarm. When Ash reached Giovanni he was standing as a human in his usual outfit, minus his hat. The trainer stared at the rocket, who was mildly stunned.
"When we last met, you said one of your agents, Meyer I think his name was, told you what happened to me, but you didn't truly believe him did you? But now, now that am like I was, I want to ask you something that I am starting to believe. Are you my father?" Ash asked as he stopped in front of Giovanni looking into the older man's eyes.
"But…how…why?" He stuttered. He took a deep breath to center himself, and then he nodded. "Yes I am, Ash. But that changes some things and yet nothing. I still want you by my side," Giovanni said quietly. Ash silently shook his head. "Then you leave me no choice," Giovanni said. He raised his hand to give the order to attack again, but as he did, a bolt of lighting lanced down and struck him. Shocked he stumbled back falling against the wall. Unfortunately for Giovanni, this was not the moment to show any kind of weakness. Gary looked over at the upper balcony, where Pikachu had snuck up to and was watching the whole battle.
(Perfect, yet bad timing. This is about to get ugly,) he thought when he noticed the pokémon starting to charge the still stunned Giovanni. Ash turned and changed back into a mew. He floated in-between the pokémon and Giovanni and blinded everyone with flash.
While they where stunned Ash spoke up, [what are you doing? You can't kill him. That is the worse thing you could do. If you kill him you would be worse then he is now. No amount of wrongdoing can justify taking another's life. Otherwise, how could anyone repent or change their ways? Can we judge what a person may do, for good or evil? So that why you shouldn't do that, because well, it's just not right.]
[Nice, except for the end, which is all you,] Gary dryly commented as Pikachu made his way to them.
[Mewtwo can you send those pokémon who have trainers back to them?] Ash asked.
[Yes, I can,] he said.
[Could you do that now?] Ash sent. Mewtwo nodded and most of the pokémon just vanished. A small handful was left.
"See here…" Giovanni started to say, before Gary hit him with thunder wave causing him to drop to the ground. Pikachu came over to Gary, and he handed him his pokéball belt. The mew nodded his thanks.
[You may be Ash's Pop, but you have caused enough trouble. Just let the kid go,] Gary sent. Giovanni paused in thought as he looked up at the floating mew. He noticed his pendent and could almost place his voice. [I'm not sure I agree with Ash. I think the world may a better place without you.] He continued as Ash, Mewtwo, Pikachu, and the other pokémon vanished.
"Y…Your…Gary Oak, aren't you?" He asked in awe.
[I am and yet I am not,] Gary whispered as looked down at him. Ash reappeared.
[Gary, come on. There is no reason to stay here,] he sent looking at Gary's back.
*Ash, meet me south of Pallet on Route 21. You know the grass area near the ocean. * Gary said without turning around. He then teleported himself and Giovanni out of the building. Ash was shocked.
(Gary what are you doing?) He thought.
The last vision:
There will be a conflict of Good vs. Evil.
There will be hatred, love, friendship, loneness, pain, and joy.
The worst part of the storm hits.
One who is pure will meet one who is not.
And the last mew to comes in to existence,
As the vision strengthens before the end.
