Remember, where you see ..... it means that it is telepathic speech. ^_^

Okay...my uber long chapter for the fight scene...15 pages people...took me long enough to write...hope it's good...fight scenes aren't my best pieces of writing, and trying to do this was hard...there's a lot of jumping around but I tried to make it as clear as possible...

Part #22 - Final Attack.

Takeshi tried to pull Kasumi out of the way as quickly as possible but the blast grazed his back and hit Kasumi's right shoulder. She was thrown backwards, her hand being pulled from Takeshi's.

"Kasumi!" Takeshi caught her around the waist before she hit the ground. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah." She groaned in pain when Takeshi moved her arm the wrong way. "I'll be alright."

Takeshi knew she was lying, but Kasumi was always strong. He looked up at the mewtwo that had attacked them. It had another ball of energy formed between its hands. Suddenly, another ball of similar energy struck the pokèmon above them and Takeshi turned to see a second mewtwo closeby, this one had no armor on. He knew it was Murasaki.

Your fight is with me, not the humans.

The other mewtwo only laughed before charging at Murasaki.

With Murasaki gaining the attention of all the mewtwos, though not all of them were heading to fight him, Yuga and Pinkuashi flew up to the helicopter that had the mewtwos surrounding it. They got into it unseen and grabbed Hanako and the professor before teleporting them away to a much safer location.

"Boss," came a voice over his communicator.

"What is it?"

"Two mews just took the hostages!"

Shigeru smiled as he pulled out a pokèball. He had known that was the plan. He saw the Roketto-dan boss nearly crush his communicator. "Having a slight problem?"

Sakaki paid no attention to the man, but instead smiled at his mewtwos as they attacked the one they were created from. After a moment, he turned to Shigeru and Satoshi, who stood together, though only Shigeru had a pokèball ready. He grinned at them. "Now I can focus on the two of you. I shall get rid of you both and that will be the end of your precious lineages."

"You will not succeed," Shigeru said harshly.

"Really? Then prove it to me."

Shigeru tossed the pokèball he held. "Konpeki."

A golduck appeared, eyeing Sakaki cautiously. Shigeru glanced at Satoshi and, without a word, he knew what Shigeru's plan was. Satoshi nodded only slightly, scratching Raimei behind the ear. They only had to wait for Sakaki to bring out a pokèmon.

The boss of Roketto-dan smirked, pulling out a pokèball. "A rather poor choice."

The man in traditional dress said nothing, watching his opponent carefully. He watched as a magneton appeared from the pokèball. Just what he had expected. It was the perfect counter to his water pokèmon. He smiled slightly, sure not to let Sakaki see it. His golduck looked back at him and his trainer nodded. The plan would work...as long as the boss of Roketto-dan did not do one thing.

***

"Kinakari..."

Kira spun around. She was now face to face with her brother, somewhat. He was hovering over her, standing in midair. The evil grin on his face had not changed since the last time they had met. His silver wings were spread wide and a single star shone on his forehead, the wind ruffling his silver kimono slightly. They glared at each other for some time before he finally spoke.

"Do you fear me this time, big sis?" He tilted his head, looking down at her, the grin remaining. "All the other times we have met, *you* have attacked *me* first."

Without a word, she disappeared. He knew where she would go. He wheeled around, expecting to find her behind him but she was not there. He glanced over his shoulder. She was not there either. His attention suddenly turned to the sky above him as a huge gold bird swooped down onto him, catching him in its talons, squeezing him tightly as he struggled. She had caught him and that surprised him.

***

Takeshi quickly pulled Kasumi away from the fighting. He did not pay attention to his aching back, he was more concerned about getting her arm seen about. He edged his way from the green, making sure he stayed away from the members of Roketto-dan. They made their way to the one of the well-hidden entrances to the tunnel system.

When he found it, he looked around to make sure no one was watching him, then he went in with Kasumi behind him. They headed down the tunnel till they reached a group of more than a dozen diglets. One of them greeted them then led them down a tunnel to a large open area. They were surprised to see Satoshi's mom and the professor there, as well as Yuga and Pinkuashi.

"Oh, I'm so glad to see that the two of you are alright." Hanako came running up to them, teary-eyed. "Where's Satoshi?"

"He's still up there. I think he's going to fight Sakaki," Takeshi said.

"That isn't good." Ookido-hakase shook his head. "Sakaki was the one that killed his dad from what I understand. I just hope..."

"Shigeru was with him," Kasumi said.

"Two against one?"

"Turn about is fair play." Kasumi clutched her arm in slight pain. "Sakaki and his mom battled Hayato together."

"And, anyway," Takeshi said, "Sakaki has really high-level pokèmon and just one of them alone would be no good. They need to battle together. Murasaki told me about Sakaki's 'special' pokèmon, the ones he doesn't use in normal gym battles."

"I see your point." The professor looked at the Kasumi's arm. "What happened?"

"One of those mewtwos attacked us." Kasumi smiled. "I'm alright though."

"Still, we need to go have your arm seen about." Satoshi's mom took her uninjured arm and led her off. "There's a doctor down here, I saw him earlier, so let's go find him."

***

Murasaki was not fairing well. He had all fourteen of the mewtwos attacking him now. He was fortunate that their powers were not as strong as his was. He was not attacking back, though, because he did not want to destroy any of them. He wanted to save them from what they were. But they seemed intent on only one thing - getting rid of him. They were certainly unquestionably loyal to Sakaki and that made him sick.

He watched as three prepared to send blasts at him at the same time. He quickly put up a barrier and the balls of energy were sent back to the ones that had sent them. The three mewtwos scattered from their own returned attacks.

You are all fools, Murasaki said, more to himself than to them.

Two of the armored mewtwos charged him. Murasaki enclosed himself in his blue bubble and the two pokèmon that were attacking immediately stopped. They glared at him then flew off. He watched them carefully, fully aware of each one's presence even if he could not see them. He knew that he would be outdone sooner or later. There were too many and he had come to know the limits to his own powers.

For a moment, all of Sakaki's mewtwos looked at him. He knew they were planning their next move between them and he knew they would all be attacking at once this time, even though he could not hear them. When they seemed ready to attack, he noticed that some seemed to hesitate, but it was only for a split second, then they attacked. All of them began to glow with a blue light around them and Murasaki braced himself. Powerful attacks rained down on the barrier and, somehow, one got through, hitting him on his left side.

Murasaki's shield failed when the blast went through it. He fell to the ground, landing hard. All of the mewtwos, except for one, prepared to attack him again. He noticed the one that was not attacking and could only be puzzled over his actions for a moment. He was hit by a dozen psychic blasts. His scream of pain echoed across the green - making Shigeru glance worriedly at him while Sakaki only grinned.

***

Ginkaze held out on of his hands and a ball of silver energy formed around it. He sent it up to the golden bird that was holding him, hitting a wing. Kinakari cried out and released her hold on him. He spread his wings, diving away from her. She hovered where she had been, knowing there was no point in trying to pursue. She knew he would change forms, and that he did.

With an explosion of silver light, he changed into the form that looked like a huge winged eevee. His entire body was a beautiful silver, reflecting the sunlight like a mirror. He rose back up to where she waited for him and he smiled at her, his laughter ringing in her mind.

Kinakari growled mentally, glaring at her brother as he leveled off with her. She drew back some then sent a blast of lightning at him. He dove out of the way then sent a ball of fire at her, which she dodged easily. It was rare that they hit each other with these attacks, though. The battle was not decided until they began physical assualts. And, though Ginkaze was far stronger than she was, she had successfully beaten him each time they had battled before.

The goddess flew higher, trying to put some distance between her brother and herself but he knew this was her plan and mirrored her every move. She closed her eyes for a moment, gathering her powers together. She looked at her brother and sent a blast of energy that mingled together fire, water, lightning, psychic, and dragon attacks. It spread out like a net around her brother and caught around him, wrapping him in its power, causing him to scream in pain.

The attack made him lose his ability to fly for a moment and he speedily fell towards the ground. He spread his wings though, catching a wind current, and soared back almost to where is sister was. The blast had done its damage to him, but he did not seem to have even noticed it.

You shall pay!

Ginkaze roared as he flew with an amazing speed up at the goddess. She watched him for a moment, his claws extended towards her, then dove backwards and away from him. He completely missed her but was quick to turn around and send another blast of fire at her, which, again, she was able to dodge.

For a moment, Kinakari watched the ball of fire, traveling down to the ground. She had not even thought about the battles going on below her. Yet, she had not chance to worry about what was happening down below on her island anyway. She could hear her brother readying another attack. She needed to keep her attention on her brother and him alone.

The god lunged at her, claws extended. Kinakari moved as fast as she could but one of his claws hit her wing and left a long gash down it. She shrieked slightly in pain, but was still able to stay in the air. She spun around and, with a crackle of energy, sent a blast of fire at him which he dodged effortlessly.

It seems you're getting slow in your old age, big sister. Keep your mind on our battle. There's no need to worry about those pathetic humans.

Not saying anything in return, she stared him down as she gathered the energy she needed for her next attack. She watching him send a ball of blue energy flying. She moved gracefully and it missed her completely. She took aim at her brother and sent a green energy beam at him which hit him and made him change forms, making him lose his wings.

Ginkaze scowled up at her and moved his hands in her directions, even as he fell. He sent a blast of silver lightning at her, which struck her hard. He then created a bubble of silver light around himself and stopped falling. He floated within it staring up at his sister as she looked down at him. Neither of them made a move.

***

"Zap cannon!"

A blast of lightning flew from the steel pokèmon but the golduck dodged it easily. Shigeru laughed.

"That not a very accurate attack. Konpeki, hyperbeam!"

The golduck took aim and hit the magneton easily but it was not nearly enough. Shigeru growled. He had hoped it would have been enough. Now he had no chance of winning this round. After hyperbeam, a pokèmon had to rest.

"Use zap cannon again."

The magneton sent off another blast of lightning, but it, too, missed.

"Too bad your water baby can't attack this turn." Sakaki grinned evilly. "Magneton, zap cannon."

For a third time, the pokèmon did the attack but this time the attack hit Konpeki full force. It was a perfect attack and the golduck fell over, groaning. Shigeru recalled him with praise for his efforts.

Satoshi pulled out one of his pokèballs and tossed it forward, a furret coming out. "Naguru, fire punch!"

The pokèmon rushed forward and gave the steel pokèmon powerful fiery punch. The magneton hit the ground and Sakaki recalled it, scowling at the two of them.

"I choose you!"

The leader to Roketto-dan sent out a pokèball and a hitmonlee appeared. Satoshi gasped but ordered Naguru to do a thunder punch. The blow landed a great hit but it was not effective enough. The hitmonlee then did a high jump kick which knocked the fainted furret back into Satoshi's chest hard.

"Naguru, are you alright," he asked his pokèmon, rubbing his chest.

"Ret," the pokèmon said weakly.

"You did good," he said, letting the pokèmon return to its pokèball.

"I'm next." Shigeru tossed his next pokèball and it released a butterfree. "Jo'ou, psychic!"

As the bug pokèmon let the blast of psychic energy loose, Sakaki yelled, "Endure." The attack had no affect.

"Again, Jo'ou!"

But the hitmonlee was faster and did a mega kick before the butterfree could get the move out. Quickly recovering, the flying pokèmon let loose the blast of energy again and it struck home. The fighting pokèmon was done for and Sakaki recalled it, sending out his next pokèmon, an onix.

"Rock throw!"

The stone snake pokèmon let out a roar and the ground began to shake. Jo'ou looked worried as several huge stones appeared seemingly out of nowhere. They all crashed down on the butterfree and she was sent to the ground. Shigeru rushed to her and picked her up, thanked her, then returned her to her pokèball. He then looked back at Satoshi, who had not chosen a pokèmon yet.

"Satoshi, you're up!"

Though he knew that, he was mad with himself for not having a pokèmon with him that had good water attacks. One of his strongest pokèmon that had a water attack was actually his smeargle, which he had been given by one of his coworkers. If only he had...but then, suddenly, he had a ball in his hand. He looked down and knew it was his smeargle's ball. How...?

Then it struck him. His father had had seventeen pokèmon with him when he had died. He remembered something he had just heard in passing from Kasumi that she had thought of one of her pokèmon that need training that she did not have with her at the time and the ball had appeared in her hand. He knew it had something to do with the DNA coding on his new pokèdex and smiled. If he needed another pokèmon, he would be able to get it, at least.

Satoshi smiled at Sakaki, holding the ball in front of him. "Go, Maneru!"

The leader of Roketto-dan laughed. "Onix, strength."

The onix did as he was told and struck the pokèmon hard with its strength. The smeargle, though, shook off the attack and readied to attack.

***

Suddenly, Ginkaze changed forms again and the shield around him disappeared. He soared upward and made another pass at Kinakari, claws outstretched, but his attack missed completely that time. The goddess rounded on her brother as he flew downward and sent a ball of golden energy at him. It hit his front left leg but he hardly flinched when it struck him.

Such a weak attack.

You talk too much!

Kinakari dove down, her long, sharp beak ready to strike. Even though he tried to evade her attack, she was able to move her long neck enough to slice his side, right under his wing. She knew that would make his staying in the air very painful, and she would prefer it if she could get him on the ground. But knowing him, he would stay in the air, no matter how much pain he was in. He had always had the advantage in the air and almost refused to land.

Turning her head back to him, she sent a blast of fire mingled with electricity back at Ginkaze and it struck him before he even saw it coming. She knew that it did not do the type of damage she wanted it to have done, though. If she had hit him on the back and not the hind legs, that would have made all the difference.

The god sent a blast of icy wind at her with his powerful wings and it easily knocked her back. As she recovered from the blast, he flew down to her and caught her off guard. He passed her on her right and did a powerful sweep with his paw and was pleased to hear to sound of her wing snapping.

Unable to use that wing now, she began to fall to the ground, but Ginkaze caught her other wing in his teeth, causing it to snap as well. He tossed her up in the air as though she were a toy then caught her neck in his mouth, tearing deep, bloody gashes into her neck. He flew up higher, keeping his teeth deep within her flesh. He was going to hurt her so badly that she would not recover until after it was too late.

***

The two mews that had saved Hanako and the professor were flying around the cavern, watching the people and pokèmon as they milled around, talking. They flew down to Ookido-hakase and Takeshi and looked at them. The professor smiled at them while Takeshi really paid little attention to them since he was used to Yuga hanging around him at work.

"Me mew-u?" Pinkuashi looked at Takeshi's back. "Meew?"

"I'm fine, really, though Kasumi was hurt bad."

"Mewew?"

"Yes, Hanako took her to see one of the doctors."

The professor was looking at the young breeder shocked. "Fascinating. You can understand them?"

"Yeah. Not that hard, really. I've been able to understand some things pokèmon say since I was a child." Takeshi smiled, looking at Yuga. "Though having to deal with *some* pokèmon here has caused me to understand a lot better."

Yuga giggled, doing a flip in the air.

"How do you think everything is going up there," Takeshi asked Pinkuashi.

"Memew." He looked upward, as though trying to look through the ceiling of the cavern. "Meeew."

"I hope so too."

"Mew!" Yuga suddenly looked terrified of something. "Mew mew meew mew-u me mewew-u!"

"Mew? Memew mewmew."

The two of them took off down the tunnel at lightning speed and the professor looked at Takeshi, who was watching them disappear.

"Murasaki's in trouble."

"Oh dear."

"They're going to help him out." He looked at Ookido-hakase worriedly. "I hope he'll be alright. If he's defeated, those other mewtwos will be nearly unstoppable."

***

"Maneru! Bubblebeam!"

The smeargle bounced some then let go with a blast of bubbles at the onix. The rock snake let out a roar then collapsed with a great thud, shaking the ground. Satoshi smiled as Sakaki watched to see if his pokèmon would get up but it only struggled a bit, not able to get back up. The boss of Roketto-dan recalled his pokèmon and, after a moment, his evil smile returned. He pulled out a ball and looked at it for a moment, then looked up at the two chosen ones.

"Satoshi..."

"I think I know exactly what to expect."

Shigeru looked at the young man beside him with a bit of surprise then smiled and nodded. "Alright."

"Okay, Maneru, get ready."

Sakaki let the pokèball go and a gengar came out. He continued to smile. "Shadow ball!"

The ghost pokèmon placed its hands together and a ball of purple and black energy formed there. Suddenly, it was sent flying at the smeargle and hit him hard, sending him down easily. The gengar laughed then, with another order from Sakaki, prepared the same attack again, even though Maneru was defeated.

This time, the attack was sent straight at Satoshi, who froze in shook. Shigeru, thinking quick, knocked Satoshi out of the way but was struck in the side with the shadow ball. Shigeru fell to the ground with a pained moan. He lifted himself, turning slightly to see if Satoshi was alright.

"Shigeru!"

"I'll be alright," he said weakly.

Satoshi recalled his smeargle then kneeled beside him. "You sure?"

"Yeah." He pushed himself up to a sitting position with a groan, closing his eyes. "Satoshi..."

"What?"

With a weak smile, he looked up at his former rival. "I'm still learning."

***

As Murasaki continued to be pounded by psychic attacks by the other mewtwos, he hoped that Yuga would get there in time to help him. He could *not* lose to them. If he did.he did not even want to think of the consequences.

Suddenly, the barrage of attacks stopped. He looked up and saw one of the armored mewtwos attacking his fellows. He was shocked by this turn of events, but thanked that mewtwo greatly for fighting the discipline Sakaki had instilled in them. Yet, as the other mewtwos turned on that one rebel, Murasaki knew he had to help him.

The armored mewtwo was successfully striking his fellows and sending some of them down, too weak to continue fighting, but he was clearly growing weak from expending so much energy. Murasaki was helping him now, causing a bit of chaos among them. A blast of powerful psychic energy hit the rebellious mewtwo in the back and sent him down. Three mewtwos had attacked at the same time and were all preparing to attack again.

Murasaki moved quickly, though. He grabbed the fallen mewtwo and flew out of the way of the energy blasts, just in time to avoid the attacks that left a very large crater in the ground. He put up his bubble shield once again as the six mewtwos that were still strong enough to battle, returned their attention to him. He knew he had a better chance now since just over half of them had been taken down, but they were still a threat.

Yuga and Pinkuashi flew by Muraskai and put up a powerful pink shield as the remaining mewtwos sent blasts of energy at them. The shield absorbed the attacks then the two mews sent powerful blasts of white and blue energy at the mewtwos, which made them scatter. The armored mewtwos pulled back from the mews, watching them.

A moment passed then the armored mewtwos began to attack again, though this time they were using a new stragtegy and a unique attack. They were all combining their powers into one large blast of energy. The mewtwo that Murasaki had saved, flew out of the protection of both Murasaki's shield and the mews'. He flew at the forming attack, preparing one of his own, but was struck by the blast, though was somewhat shielded by its own attack.

"No!"

Murasaki flew down and caught the mewtwo before he hit the ground. The two mews followed close behind and put up their shield around the two of them again. The other mewtwos seemed too tired to try and attack again, but Yuga and Pinkuashi were still very watchful of them.

***

Satoshi was speechless for a moment at Shigeru's comment. He knew it had to be the answer from his earlier question. Slowly, he nodded, then stood. He turned to Sakaki, who was smiling rather evilly. "You'll pay for that."

"I'd love to see your worst."

"Do you remember Kojiro and Musashi who used to be members of Roketto-dan years ago? You remember the pokèmon of mine they were *always* after?" He looked at his pikachu, who jumped up to his shoulder. "Meet Raimei!"

"Pika!" The pikachu jumped to the ground. "Pi pikaa pikachu."

The ghost-type pokèmon laughed slightly. "Genga gar geen."

"Raimei! Thunderstorm!"

"Kaa!"

The sky above suddenly darkened and Sakaki drew back in shock. This was a very powerful attack. One that he knew that only Kinakari could have taught the little mouse pokèmon. He ordered his gengar to do a quick ice punch. The ghost pokèmon got in a good hit but Raimei's concentration on his attack was not broken.

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky and hit the gengar, then a second and a third. The ghost pokèmon swayed from the attacks but did not fall, though was clearly weakened greatly from the powerful attack. Raimei had not gotten the hang of that move yet so it was not as powerful as it could have been., but this gengar was clearly of a very high level, possibly even higher than Raimei's.

"Gengar," yelled Sakai, whose voice seemed irritated, "use toxic!"

The ghost pokèmon sent the poison at Raimei but the pikachu dodged the attack. He then heard Satoshi call for him to use thunderpunch and he quickly ran up to the gengar and easily finished him off with that move.

"You..." Sakaki recalled his gengar and pulled out another ball. "Marowak."

Satoshi knew this was not good since lightning attacks were not strong against ground-types, but knew Raimei would do his best. "Use thunderbolt!"

Raimei nodded then sent the blast of lightning at the marowak. Though the attack had little effect, the pokèmon did feel it.

"Earthquake," Sakaki ordered.

The marowak jumped up and hit its bonemerang on the ground. The ground shook hard, sending a shockwave right at Raimei. The ground buckled beneath him and Raimei fell into the hole that was created, debris burying him.

"Raimei!"

As Sakaki laughed, Satoshi dug his pikachu free of the earth that had covered him. He pulled Raimei into his arms and scowled at Sakaki and his pokèmon. He began to pull out another pokèball when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked and there was Shigeru.

"Shi..."

"Let me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Shigeru pulled a chain around his neck from under his happi. There was a pokèball there, which he detached from the chain and tossed. "Hoshikuzu!"

A beautiful blue dragonair appeared, floating above the fight. She looked down at Shigeru then to Sakaki and hissed.

"Hoshi! Blizzard!"

The dragon pokèmon began to gather the needed energy to strike, but Sakaki took advantange of the extra time it needed. "Hyperbeam!"

The marowak sent the blast of energy at the dragonair, but missed its target. Just as the blast passed Hoshikuzu, she sent a blast of ice, snow, and wind at the pokèmon. The ground pokèmon tried to evade it but was caught up in the wintery mixture and was suddenly frozen solid. Sakaki returned him to his pokèball.

"Do not think your precious dragonair will last much longer. Though it *knows* ice attacks, it is weak against them."

Shigeru knew what was coming as he watched Sakaki take out another pokèball. He was fearing the worst but, when a kadabra appeared, he felt somewhat relieved. Yet, he suddenly realized, all of his pokèmon had been steadily getting higher in level with each one he took out. He got worried, thinking about how strong this pokèmon might be.

"Ice punch!"

The psychic pokèmon charged forward and struck the dragonair hard. She was sent backwards and landed on the ground not far from Shigeru's feet. She cooed up at him and smiled at her, thanking her, then returned her to her pokèball, which he reattached to his necklace and placed back in his happi.

Satoshi knew he probably had no pokèmon that could contend with the level that the kadabra was at, but knew he did have one pokèmon that would most likely do the job anyway. He thought of that pokèmon and its ball appeared in his hand, just as his smeargle's had done. He held the ball to his lips and kissed it before releasing the pokèmon inside. A sleek, black umbreon emerged from the pokèball.

"Quickly!" Sakaki was yelling at his kadabra. "Use psychic!"

Satoshi laughed as the attack landed on his umbreon but the umbreon shook off the attack. He knew Sakaki was now on his last pokèmon "Looks like you're out of options."

***

This time it will not be a stalemate.

Ginkaze sent a shock of energy through his sister as he held her in his teeth. She was disoriented for only a moment, but then he tossed her into the air again, hit her with a blast of silver energy and she suddenly changed from her bird form to her angelic form. He caught her once more in his teeth, about to crush her chest. She knew it was now or never. She gritted her teeth in pain as she twisted her body so she could have both of her hands touching his face. She closed her eyes, thinking only of one thing.

You are very right, Brother. I should have done this long ago.

Her brother looked at her in shock. She could not possibly...

Shigeru spun around, looking at Kinakari. He could sense what was about to happen. His eyes were wide. Kira! No!

The goddess did not look down to her lover, but smiled at him mentally. I love you, Shigeru.

"No!"

A blinding golden light suddenly filled the area and everyone stopped their fighting. All attention was on the source of the light. Shigeru was the only one that was not frozen in shock and he was running to the area beneath where the two gods were fighting. The light vanished as quickly as it had appeared and he saw the two deities falling from the sky. He just did catch Kinakari as she came crashing down. The force of her falling into his arms sent him to the ground but he was not injured.

"Kira, please, be alright. You promised me..."

***

"Kira!" Satoshi turned from her to look at Sakaki, who was chuckling. The pokèmon master clinched his fists. "You have no reason to laugh, *Waru*!"

Sakaki turned to face his opponent quickly when he heard the insult. He saw the umbreon ready to attack without an order. He started to give his kadabra an order but his pokèmon seemed to be backing up in fear. The black pokèmon sneered at Sakaki, the air around her glowing black. A wave of energy exploded out from the pokèmon as it lunged at the psychic pokèmon. It struck the kadabra in the chest, sending him flying backwards, hitting his stunned trainer, both of them landing hard on the ground.

***

Murasaki had only looked at Kinakari as she fell into Shigeru's arms, his attention quickly returning to the fallen mewtwo in his arms. He had disobeyed Sakaki's orders and that surprised him. All the other mewtwos were unquestionably loyal to the man that had created them. The mewtwo looked up at him through the armored mask.

Thank you, came a distinctly *feminine* voice.

In complete shock, he took off the mask with a quick movement and the mewtwo sighed when it was removed. Violet eyes with long lashes around them stared back at her rescuer. He blinked wildly. A female!? His heart skipped a beat. She smiled at him and it skipped another. His mouth fell open slightly.

Yo...you...yo...you're...

Yuga looked at Murasaki puzzled as he stuttered. After a look at Pinkuashi, who was giggling uncontolably, he turned back to Murasaki and shocked him slightly with a little psychic energy. He then began to giggle too when Murasaki jumped, though the mewtwo did not take his eyes off the female he was holding.

You're welcome, Murasaki finally got out.

***

"Is that all you had, sis?"

Shigeru looked and saw Ginkaze standing, though it was evident he was badly injured. "Kono yarou!"

The god ignored the insult and smiled, just as evil as before, looking at Shigeru. "And you shall meet her and my father in the next world."

Shigeru gently placed Kinakari on the ground then stood, fists clinched. "You shall be the one that meets her!"

Ginkaze watched as the young man drew back both his hands. A ball of blue energy formed in the human's hands. His eyes widened and, as Shigeru sent the energy forward, he put up a barrier to divert the pathetic human's psychic attack but it did not work. The barrier collapsed and the energy hit him square in the chest, knocking him back several feet. He did, though, manage to get to his feet, looking at Shigeru, a little pissed.

"I do not know how you did that, human, but you will regret doing so."

"You, of all people, should know I'm *not* human."

"We shall see."

The god charged forward, beginning to ready an attack when Shigeru sent another blast of energy at him. He was sent flying backwards into the cobbles on the street. He looked up at Shigeru who was standing calmly in front of him. He got to his feet, gritting his teeth. He prepared to lunge at the man but was hit again by a third blast from Shigeru.

This time when he hit the cobbles, he suddenly found himself being lifted from the ground by someone's psychic control. His eyes met Shigeru's. He tried to move to grab the human's throat but found he could not.

"You underestimated me. You should have realized I am not a simple human with psychic powers." The young man looked at him coldly. "I'm sure your ancestors will be pleased to meet you."

The god fell to the ground then looked up to meet his sister's cold glare as she walked up to him from behind Shigeru. He got to his feet and prepared to attack but found he could not. It was as though his power had been drained. He remembered he had done that to someone else before, but it was not to Kinakari. He had done that to his father...in order to kill him. He fell to his knees suddenly weak with that knowledge, knowing what was coming.

"This is the end, Ginkaze."

Sakaki groaned from the force of his pokèmon crashing into him. He rolled his unconcious kadabra off him. He looked up as he heard Satoshi walk to him. "Go ahead, kill me. Just as I did to your father."

"You deserve to live, if only to know the pain of living." Satoshi stood there for a moment then turned, beginning to walk off, his dark pokèmon following. "I think that letting you live is a far worse fate right now than your death."

Sakaki chuckled. "By letting me live, you ensure the survival of Roketto- dan."

"No, it doesn't," he said, looking over his shoulder at the man struggling to his feet before leaned over to his umbreon, rubbing her in thanks.

Murasaki stepped forward, the female mewtwo by his side, her armor removed. His eyes began to glow a brilliant blue. This time you will forget and you will *not* remember again!

Blue light surrounded all of the members of Roketto-dan and they floated into the air, though their pokèmon remained on the ground. Even pokèmon that were in their pokèballs came out and looked around as their trainers floated above them.

As the blue light filled the area, Kinakari took the few steps to the god. She placed the first and second fingers of her left hand on her kneeling brother's head. She looked down at him and sighed. She hated violence and she could not let it happen again to her island. Killing her brother was a hard thing for her to do, even though he had tormented her for so long. A pulse of energy race from her hand and through her brother. He almost seemed to explode into millions of tiny sliver stars that all quickly faded away. He was gone now.

Kinakari collapsed, falling into Shigeru's awaiting arms. She smiled up at him with a sigh then closed her eyes, drifting off into a deep sleep. Her lover looked down on her and smiled. The blue light around them faded and he looked over to the town green. Roketto-dan was no longer there. Satoshi was standing next to Murasaki and another mewtwo. He wondered what he had missed.

Not much, Shigeru, came Murasaki's voice in his head, not much at all.
