Reflecting Shadows: Black WarGreymon vs. Mewtwo
Team Rocket's Elimination
By D1
Poke`mon Center: Pewter City: Kanto
" Pidgey! Pidgey! Pidgey!" The cuckoo clock on the wall chirped predictably, it was now three in the morning and nurse Joy was extremely tired. It had been a dull night, and there weren't any Poke`mon in critical care.
" Aaaauuuuuuwwwww." She yawned, turning to her faithful Poke`mon assistant. " Chansey, I'm going to get some rest. Do you think you can watch the center for a few hours?"
" Chansey!" the round pink Poke`mon replied happily.
" I knew I could count on you. Goodnight Chansey." Making her way to her private quarters, a weary nurse Joy simply collapsed onto her bed and fell fast asleep. CRASH! A startling noise caused the nurse to sit strait with a jolt. Training for her job as a nurse had taught Joy to always keep half her mind awake if a critically wounded patient ever came in. For a moment, there was total silence. The noise could have been her imagination, but Joy sensed trouble. It could be thieves! She thought urgently, remembering what had happened at her sister's place in Viridian City a few years ago. Quietly, nurse joy tiptoed down the hall and made her way to the lobby as stealthily as a Sneasal. To her horror, the first thing she came across was Chansey's lifeless body. After a quick check, Joy was relieved to discover that Chansey was only unconscious, with no serious injury. Leaving the fainted creature where she found it, the brave nurse cautiously journeyed forward. When she came across him trying to tamper with the computers with his back turned to her, she first assumed that he was merely a strange burglar who happened to wear medieval demonic black armor; that was of course, until Joy noticed the fact that his skin was as black as night, and he stood on two dangerous, ripping, three-toed talons. Dashing madly back into the hall, before he might have seen her, Joy ran as fast as she could to the telephone back bye her bed. She was about half way through dialing the number for 911 before she realized that there was nothing but static. Something was interfering with the transmissions. I'll have to reach them on foot. She thought. Joy turned around and prepared to make a dash out of the center and to the police, but in her doorway, it stood. As the creature advanced, Joy backed away, until she trapped herself in a corner with nowhere else to go. The thing's ragged breathing assailed her senses. The creature must have been eight or even ten feet tall. Joy had never seen a Poke`mon like it.
" W-w-what are you?" she asked fearfully to it. She expected the creature to be like most Poke`mon and would only be able to say their own names. Hence, she was both shocked and astonished when it spoke back.
" I've asked myself that same question for a long, long time."
Black WarGreymon wasn't in the best of moods. Breaking into what humans call a 'Poke`mon Center' he found it as hopelessly inferior to his electrical field as the small red computers many of them carried. In hopes, he tried to conceal and reduce the field as much as possible to use their machines to learn more about this reality, but they were far too weak and all he received was static. First a small round pink creature tried to subdue him, but she was easily dispatched without trouble. Now Black WarGreymon had cornered a human nurse, trying hopelessly to call for help. The computers are useless. Asking this human will be the only other alternative. He though regrettably. She had asked him what he was, a question that he had been trying to solve since birth. Digimon or not, I am the only one of my kind here or anywhere so I may as well use my own name.
" I am known as Black WarGreymon."
" Well, I haven't heard of that species of Poke`mon before." She said, a little more boldly. " Were you recently discovered?" With a swipe of his claws, Black WarGreymon cleanly cut he bed in three.
" Don't ever call me that. I am not one of your pathetic 'Poke`mon'."
" Then what are you?" fear had returned with a little wonder.
" I am not sure. But until I am, you humans may refer to me as a Digimon."
" What is a Digimon?"
" I will be asking the questions from now on human. Do not trouble yourself with my past. I want to learn everything possible about this world and then, only then, I might answer one of your questions." This Digimon or whatever he called himself seemed rude and uncaring to nurse Joy; but she was not about to argue with a creature that was able to turn her four-poster bed into confetti. So she told him everything she knew. The history of the league, geography of Kanto, Johto, and the Orange Archipelago, everything. Through it all, Black WarGreymon found most of the information useless. None of what she had told him seemed worth knowing.
" Well, that's all I know. What about you?" She asked.
" All you should know is that I am not of this existence." He told her, and prepared to leave.
" But you can't go! You aren't safe out there. Trainers could try to capture you!"
" Believe me, no weakling of a human will ever be able to defeat me, let alone capture me." She followed Black WarGreymon all the way to the lobby, pleading for him to remain at the center. It did no good. Ignoring her, he stepped outside.
" Freeze!" A southern accented person shouted through a megaphone. Bright, glaring lights instantly shone on Black WarGreymon, blinding him for a split second. " You are under arrest!" The voice said. Oh no. Nurse Joy thought. Chansey must have woken up and went to get officer Jenny. Beside the squadron of police vehicles, a news van pulled up.
" Wow, what kind of thief dresses like that?" a reporter asked.
" You kidding? Just look at it! It must be some kind of new Poke`mon!"
" Well don't just stand there, film!" The moment of confusion turned into rage as the Digital Monster realized what was going on.
" RAAAAARRRRRRR!" he roared angrily, now totally unleashing his electrical field. Ka-boom! Ka-boom! All throughout his surroundings, small explosions lit up the night as the humans' own electronics could not handle the surge and self-destructed.
" Ahhh! My new camera just blew up!" one of the reporters cried.
" Open fire!" cried officer Jenny. A hail of bullets flew towards the Digimon and harmlessly bounced off his powerful armor. Even when the small shells hit some of his open spots the effect was the same. He was now more enraged than ever.
" Black Tornado!" Spinning into a dark cyclone, Black WarGreymon tore through the armada of cars and motorcycles as if through thin air. Police and civilians alike screamed and ran as balls of fire violently erupted around them. Satisfied with the destruction he causes, Black WarGreymon's temper subsided. The whole area was now in flames and nothing was left for him here. Without a second thought, the Mega flew westward, towards the imposing mountain, illuminated in moonlight.
Johto
Mewtwo awoke with a start, his body vibrating from the energy signature that just blew bye. It was most likely as strong as his, but had originated from somewhere back in Kanto. The demon from my dreams has arrived. HE must not be allowed to spill anymore blood. Summoning his immense psychic strength, Mewtwo departed for Kanto.
Viridian Gym: Viridian City: Kanto
One of the worlds most powerful men sat in his comfortable arm chair, stroking his Persian and smiling to himself, the rich business man continued to watch his television screen with growing interest.
" I'm reporting live from the Poke`mon Center where just minutes ago, a strange rampaging Poke`mon destroyed everything around and ignited the fires you see around me." The reporter stated.
"I-I-it was horrible!" a survivor and eyewitness cried eccentrically. " The thing was demon! As black as night and covered in spikes!"
" With us now is nurse Joy, who claims to have actually spoke with this monstrous Poke`mon."
" He called himself Black WarGreymon." The frightened nurse told the camera. " For some reason, he forced me to tell him everything I knew about Earth's history and the Poke`mon League's too."
" Speaking of which, league officials and a select group of Poke`mon masters will be arriving here tomorrow to investigate the matter further. Though our television camera was destroyed, the footage our crew did manage to take was automatically beamed back to our station." The reporter continued. A moment later, a blurred shot of the strange creature appeared on the screen. It truly was an impressive and imposing creature. Even though it was only shot for about five seconds, no one could forget what the creature looked like. The reporter continued her commentary, " With the utmost ease, this strange Poke`mon destroyed five entire police units and was last seen heading for Mt. Moon. If anybody encounters this Poke`mon, they are strongly advised to stay away and do not approach it. I repeat, do not-" CLICK! The man calmly used his remote to shut the television off. A sinister and evil grim crossed his face, highlighting his feral, predatory features.
" 009." he said, pressing the intercom beside him.
" Yes Boss?" a young yet equally sinister feminine voice answered.
" Prepare the Team Rocket Combat Force for a mission to Mt. Moon."
" After more Clefairy for the black-market sir?"
" No 009, this time we are going after something far more rare and more powerful than that."
The Base of Mt. Moon, Kanto
He is near, I can feel him. Mewtwo thought to himself. Landing behind the safety of a fairly large timeworn boulder, the super-clone tried as hard as he could to lower his energy level. If I could feel his energy, than he could surely feel mine.
" ROOOOAAAARRRR!" The fierce bellow of a Steelix instantly caught his attention. Racing towards the source of the sound, Mewtwo was met with a very dramatic sight. From his hiding spot behind a cluster of trees, he witnessed the ghost that had haunted his dreams come into reality and dispatch a high level steel type with the greatest of ease.
" Steelix, uses your Iron Tail attack!" the Poke`mon's trainer shouted. Obediently the mammoth creature's silvery spaded tail lashed forward at the black creature. Surprisingly, he didn't even attempt to dodge the attack. Instead, the strange being's armored claws shot out and grabbed the Steelix's tail. With but one hand, he crack the Steelix against the ground like a whip before unleashing his own attack.
" Black Tornado!" it cried, spinning it's body into a vicious dark cyclone that bore at the shining Poke`mon a drill would through stone. All it took was a touch before Steelix cried out in anguish and fainted.
" No, Steelix!" the trainer cried, rushing to the fallen pocket monster's side. Once shining and radiant, the Steelix was now dull, his harder-than-diamond armor cracked and broken. The boy instantly recalled Steelix into its Poke`ball and ran off desperately towards the nearest Poke`mon Center.
He's stronger than I imagined! He must be stopped at once. But before Mewtwo could leave his hiding spot and advance, the whirling of helicopter blades caught both his, and his future foe's attention. Heading directly for them was a high-tech private chopper and an armada of helium blimps. All of which had a scarlet R painted on their sides. No! I made sure I had erased their memories completely the last time our paths crossed! Then it dawned on the super clone's mind. They are after him. They want to manipulate and enslave him as they had with me. Things were going to get very interesting.
While the flock of blimps waited above, the lone helicopter landed directly in front of Black WarGreymon. If these humans think that a force as pathetic as this will stop me, they are more incompetent than I realized. Out of the helicopter's doors, a large man in an orange suit walked out, followed by a sleek cat Poke`mon.
" Very impressive." he said in a deep, sinister voice. " I must admit, I have never seen a Poke`mon as powerful as you. What was your name again, Black WarGreymon is it?"
" Yes. But I am no Poke`mon, nor do I intend to act like one and serve you."
" I understand. But I had something far more rewarding in mind. Have you ever considered going into business? We can be partners. Sharing both our resources and talents. Together, the world will be ours."
That despicable human! He's trying to manipulate this creature the same way he did me! Mewtwo realized. What a fool. This creature won't be dumb enough to fall for this!
At the same time, Black WarGreymon was going through the same thoughts. Does he take me for a fool? He is just like Arukenimon and Mummymon. " Since I am not human I see no reason why you should take me to be as gullible as one. Take your forces and leave, or face my wrath."
" As you wish." Bowed the man in the orange Italian suit. His helicopter lifted off and for a moment, it would seem as though the fearsome Giovanni of Team Rocket would heed the Digimon's warning. But Mewtwo knew better and Black WarGreymon sensed something as well. FA-SHWOOM! An instant later, the helicopter blasted a concentrated ball of red energy strait at Black WarGreymon. When the smoke cleared, the Digimon remained there, unaffected. Any normal creature would have been stunned into submission and paralyzed, but Black WarGreymon wasn't normal. FA-SHWOOM! FA-SHWOOM! FA-SHWOOM! Again and again the chopper fired off volleys of red energy, but now Black WarGreymon calmly sliced through each one as if they were nothing with his dark gauntlets. When the control spire Digimon was battling with hot, uncontrollable rage, it was both terrifying and very destructive. But in times like this when he contained his rage and kept cool, it was obvious that things would be much worse. KA-BOOM! KA-BOOM! Now that it became apparent that the energy blasts weren't enough, the Team Rocket blimps deployed their vast arsenal of bombs, missiles, and any other weapon they had with them. Explosions blasted the ground and smoke obscured visuals, but the evil organization continued their relentless assault, never letting up until they exhausted all of their munitions, when they began shooting Masterballs from their cannons. Still more explosions rocked the area as the devices descended into the smoke for as we have already seen, the electrical field of Black WarGreymon proves to be too much for the equipment.
" You have chosen to turn down my warning, so prepare to face the consequences!" the menacing voice of Black WarGreymon announced from within the clouds of smoke and dust. Then, like a torpedo, the Mega came hurtling out of the mist, on a direct course for Giovanni.
" Evasive maneuvers!" he shouted urgently to the pilots, but the decision came too little, too late. The machine was rocked with a sickening jolt as the Digimon struck. The thought to be impervious metal was torn to shreds against claws of chrome digizoid. KA-BOOM! the deafly explosion signaled that the fuel cells had been ruptured and Black WarGreymon sent the now useless hunk of metal hurtling too the ground. CRASH! Somehow, the surviving crew and passengers managed to feebly crawl out of the twisted burning wreckage, their bodies bruised and bleeding. But despite their condition, they all managed to find enough energy to run as Black WarGreymon finished the vehicle off.
" Terra Destroyer!" Giovanni and his men got out of the area just in time as the remains of the helicopter were engulfed in a massive fireball that. KA-BOOM! Though the target was completely incinerated, the attack still had enough forced to both blast away and melt chunks of solid rock and dirt. Reloaded, the blimps began to recklessly pour down their ammunition again, but the target was now on the attack. " Black Tornado!" transforming into a dark vortex of death, the Digimon ripped through the air chambers of the ships without relenting. Witnessing the dramatic destruction of their companions, the other blimps attempted a hasty retreat, but they would not be spared. Black WarGreymon caught up with each and every last one. Soon, the dirigibles crashed into the surrounding areas and erupted into flames. After he made sure that all his aerial foes had been dispatched, Black WarGreymon turned his attention back to the leader and his few top agents, who were now trying to slink away unnoticed like the worms they really were. These people have purposely attacked, despite my warnings. And they are those who would continue to harm the innocent if spared. " You will not escape me so easily human!" he roared. Giovanni looked up in fear and horror, emotions he rarely expressed and may never have the chance to express again. " Terra Destroyer!" VWOOP. " What??" the Digimon snarled. His target seemed to simply vanish just as the attack struck, spirited away. However, he noticed that they had simply been transported to a cluster of rock fifty yards away.
Suddenly, a very strange, unfamiliar, and perhaps dangerous creature appeared before him in midair.
These humans, no matter how dark-hearted their souls may be, are not yours to judge. It said in Black WarGreymon's mind. Your fight is with me.
