Chapter Ten
Come on! Ash yelled. We have to hurry! Brock and Misty fell behind. Pikachu kept up to speed with Ash.
Suddenly, he ran into someone and they both fell.
It's the twerp! said a familiar voice.
Ash said. He had ran into James. Misty and Brock caught up.
It's Jessie and Meowth! Brock said.
Are you going, too? Ash asked.
Of course, Jessie said. We might be bad guys, but we do a reputation for doing some good.
Alright! Thanks, Team Rocket! Misty said.
But don't let it get to your head, James said. This is revenge for all those times the boss has neglected us.
Oh, okay, Ash said.
Abra called.
There he goes! Jessie said, running after Abra. Everyone followed after. Abra went straight to where they were. No one was around guarding them. Ai was tied up, to a tree, crying as Mewtwo struggled against the machines.
it said.
Ai asked, looking up. The others came to the clearing. James! Meowth! Jessie! Ash! Misty! Brock!
Ash said. How do we stop this thing?
The... machines... must... turn..... off.
Mewtwo, hang on, Ai said, as Abra untied her.
It's shut, like the other machines were, Brock said.
Then it must have the same weakness, Ash said. Pikachu, all you have to do is destroy one.
Pikachu started it's electric attack. It began to rain.
Ash said, looking up at the sky.
Ai said, walking up to him.
Stay..... back. I can't..... let you...... get hurt.
We're the same, Mewtwo, Ai said. We're both a two.
Ai... She closed her eyes, and started to glow a soft blue.
Misty said.
She's just like Mewtwo, Brock said.
What is going on?! Giovanni asked, coming back.
We won't let you pass, Ash said. All of their Pokémon came out (other than the ones who don't do good in rain.) Ai's power grew. Then she opened her eyes, releasing an energy greater than anything known. Abra's eyes turned red, and it contributed, too. The machine started to make noises, as it reached it's breaking point.
Do you think you can defeat me? Leader of the most notorious group in the world?! You're all fools! Even if you manage to free Mewtwo, he'll be too weak to help! The machine shattered. Ai's glow faded, and she fell to her knees. Mewtwo was released from the machine and he fell on her.
she said, hugging him.
Ai. Abra came towards them.
it said.
Thanks for helping, Abra, Ai said. Abra closed it's eyes, then a bright light came from it. It's evolving to a Kadabra! Ai said, excitedly. It can use the recover technique on you!
What?! This can't be! Giovanni said, in horror.
it said.
Good! Kadabra! Use Recover on Mewtwo!
Kadabra's eyes started to glow red. Strength began to return to him. He sat up, instead of laying on Ai.
Thank you, Ai. Not just for your tears, but for your help, as well. Mewtwo leaned over and kissed her forehead. Then he stood, his eyes grew blue, the glow around him was like a flame. You shall pay! Not only for what you've done to me, but what you've done to Ai, as well. You shall never remember me!
