Anguirus111 Note: You'll find out who all the Council members are later in this chapter.
Cinnabar Island: Mewn flipped through the final stack of worn and practically decayed newspapers. He'd also pulled what files he could from what remained of the computers and he had received the exact same information. He hadn't wanted to believe it, but the truth was in front of him.
"The war, the destruction of the cities, everything that has happened over the past millennia is all my fault. It was my actions that inspired Jett to rise up against the humans. My reason for existence has destroyed our way of life and there's nothing I can do about it, not now not ever," thought Mewn becoming depressed. He was still moping around when several Pokemon burst into the library with guns drawn. Mewn looked at them extremely tired as Pike entered into the room. He motioned to the guards to leave the room and they left uncertainly.
"Hello Legend. You really should've dispatched the locals of the area because they reported immediately that you'd shown up, I know I would've. I see you've been catching up on your reading have you? I wish I could read, but the elders banned any Pokemon from learning to read the writing of the humans. They don't really want us to know how things were like before we became freed. But, through perseverance I learned to read the banned writing. I still don't know what all the words mean, but I can get the gist of it. To tell you the truth, human trainers are very few, most don't want to teach and feed the humans, but some do. I know I did for a few years. Then I learned like most pokemon do that humans can't really be tamed, they could only be beaten into submission. Now like most pokemon I merely hunt them for sport. I've bagged quite a few humans throughout the years, all of which are hanging in my den. I also know that you are to thank for all this. Our whole existence we owe to you because you inspire Jett to rise up against the humans just like you did," said Pike. Mewn slowly shook his head.
"He saw only a corrupted view of what I had done. I didn't kill all humans I killed those who drove my species to extinction. Why do you think so few humans are aware of my existence? I'll tell you why, it's because I don't believe all humans are evil and I never have. Only the pokemopolitans would be sentenced for their crimes, I involved no one else. I don't want all the humans to have to suffer at my hands, that's why I haven't just randomly killed every human on this planet. In fact, as of late I've actually not killed several Pokemopolitans that I've run across," said Mewn. Pike shook his head.
"You lie," he said. Mewn shook his head.
"No. They were aware of what their ancestors did and their families vowed to make up for the mistakes of the past. I've visited the families and they've told me that they accept what their ancestors did and they've been trying to make up for it. I accepted it and erased their memories of my visit and moved on," said Mewn. Pike began laughing.
"Oh well, it makes no difference. We're not in the past, this is the here and now. You see, we learned of the human statement: Do unto others as you would do unto yourself. The humans didn't do it, and neither will we. Bring out the prisoners," said Pike. The guards came back in with five humans who were all beaten and bloody.
"These 'filth' decided it would be fun to blow up an ammunitions dump. They injured fifty pokemon and killed ten of them. Many of them were civilians. They executed our people, why can't we kill them? We're certainly justified," said Pike. As if to emphasize the point, he pulled out a pistol and shot one of them in the head spraying blood and brain over several badly damaged books. Mewn shook his head.
"No, you're not. You've made their life a living hell. You barely feed them and you hunt them to the point that humans who once were in the billions are so scarce they're only a few hundred thousand left. Within a few years there won't be any more. They are the ones who are justified in fighting back, you are not," said Mewn. As if to prove the point his image flickered and became human.
"So you disguise yourself to even look like the filth? That gives me more reason to have you eliminated. Oh well, don't worry your time is near," said Pike. He shot two more prisoners. Mewn eyes slowly began to glow red.
"If you harm any more of this prisoners, you'll die before you leave this place," said The Legend. He looked at the guards with his rage filled eyes and they all gulped. Pike laughed.
"You don't scare me. You would never harm another pokemon. You're too deep in your own self-pity to fight back," said Pike.
"You know, you reminded me of a something my master once said prior to his death and after I learned the truth as to what happened to the Mew. He told me that yes I should stop humans from harming pokemon the way the Pokemopolitans did, but he also told me that the opposite mustn't occur either. Pokemon are no better than humans he told me. I never really believed him until now, but now I do see the wisdom of his words. Only when Pokemon and humans co-exist like they did in my time can there be harmony. But now that the balance is out of whack, it's up to me to set things right. Thank you for reminding me of the truth," said The Legend. His image resolved back into Mewns. Pike shrugged and prepared to fire on the two final prisoners, a male and a female who held each other's hands in fear. They both looked at Mewn in desperation. Pike fired and they screamed, then time seemed to freeze. Mewn jerked his right hand up and the bullets stopped moving. He then clenched his fists and the bullets crumpled in midair. Pike growled.
"Stop him!" he shouted. Dozens of guards rushed into the room with guns drawn while other had tasers and restraining devices. Mewn watched as they all surrounded him and the humans.
"It's time for you to die," said Pike. Mewn shrugged.
"Likewise," he responded. The guards rushed Mewn as he closed his eyes and entered into a trance. Then the whole island began rocking and rumbling as the volcano sprung to life and began spewing magma high into the air. Then portions of the floor zoomed upwards and crushed various soldiers. All around the island the sea rose up and began flowing inwards to sink the island beneath the water.
"What the hell're you doing?" Pike demanded. Mewn's eyes flashed open and they glowed red like fire.
"This island is no longer a place of sanctity but a place of horrors. I'm sending a message to your 'council of elders'. They had better fear my wrath because I'm coming for them. I will destroy them and I will find that Celebi and I will return to my time and stop this war from ever happening. Goodbye foolish mortal," said Mewn. He lifted off and psychically took the humans with them as they burst into the air. They watched as the whole island became victim of natural disasters and exploded flinging debris everywhere.
"Goodbye my home," said Mewn. He then burst off.
Council HQ: The elders were watching a psychic projection from an Alakazam that showed the island exploding.
"Oh my Jett," said the leader who covered his mouth in horror. Then they saw the streak of light burst zoom through the sky.
"Now what're we going to do? He's too powerful! We're weak from such a prolonged existence, we can't possibly stop The Legend," said a member.
"We won't have to. Look, he probably knows as we do, if Giovanni dies than any hope of saving the future will die with him. Kill Giovanni and we've won," said the leader.
"Yeah, but what if he kills Jett?" asked a member.
"That's why The Legend cannot get his hands on Celebi. I want you to find that little rebel and bring him here now! Some others of you go and get Pike, we'll revive him here," said the leader. Some members nodded and left.
"The rest of you, try and find The Legend. But if we can't we'll have to plan for an eventual assault here," said the leader. The other members nodded and set about to do their work.
Pallet Town: Remarkably the town was left unscathed and looked like it had recently been renovated. Mewn was confused as to why, but merely shrugged and faced the two humans it had rescued. He then shrugged it off and faced the humans.
"I have saved you from the pokemon because I want you to know that not all Pokemon are bad, they're just misguided. Goodbye," said Mewn as he prepared to take off. Then one of them made a motion like it was trying to talk.
"Who…r…u?" the female asked straining to speak. Mewn spun around.
"What?" he asked.
"Whoru," said the female again. Mewn looked shocked.
"I didn't believe humans could talk," he said.
"Hard," said the male straining to talk. Mewn nodded. Then the female pointed at him.
"Now, I'm just the creature that helped bring about the end of civilization. But I used to be called The Legend," said Mewn. And with that he blasted off into the air and flew away as the humans watched him go.
Pokeshank: Giovanni was extremely tired. Since The Legend had left he'd been attack by humans just about every day. He'd ran out of bullets on the first day and had to fight the humans hand to hand for part of the second before he'd gotten a pair of the stun rods to work again. They'd died on day three and Giovanni was about to be killed/capture before he managed to locate a pair of the old wardens swords that he'd kept. However the humans that he'd just fought were smarter and more intelligent. They'd also begun bringing heavier weaponry and he feared that soon they'd show up with guns and then he'd be dead.
"It's that stupid legend's fault. He'll pay for this. I new he wouldn't come back," thought Giovanni. He was just drinking a little bit of water when several humans burst in with swords drawn. Giovanni sighed and grabbed his pair of swords and began fighting off. He began trying to deflect off various attacks when more humans with swords appeared. He began slicing back and forth as he began moving to his fallback position in the wardens office. He managed to de-arm an opponent and stabbed him only to have another pick up the sword and begin battling him. Giovanni soon found himself between two opponents and had to fight them off with one on his left and one on his right. After a few experiment moves he'd learned when he'd been taught privately in the ways of the sword, he'd disarmed his opponents and they both ran off. Then a final human burst in with what appeared to be crudely fashioned bone armor and strange markings on his armor and body. He growled angrily at Giovanni.
"Let me guess, head priest or whatever right?" asked Giovanni with a smirk on his face. The leader sarcastically smiled back then pulled out a revolver.
"Oh shit," said Giovanni. He leapt to the side as the gun went off. He saw the bullet zoom towards him and he felt it hit his skin and he hit the ground he began yelling for a few minutes before he realized the bullet had penetrated at all, it had stopped and was instead pressed up against his skin.
"What the?" thought Giovanni in shock. Then the priestess went flying backwards as if pushed by an invisible wall and then the back wall exploded flinging debris and glass everywhere. As Giovanni shielded his eyes against the light, Mewn flew in through the opening.
"Nice one Giovanni. Generally I yell after the bullet has penetrated," laughed Mewn. Giovanni growled.
"Screw you!" he shouted. It took another minute before Mewn stopped chuckling that he regained his composure.
"Did you find the information we needed?" asked Giovanni. Mewn sighed and nodded.
"I did and it's not good. We should retire to the mess hall before I explain further," said Mewn. Giovanni nodded and they both left.
Council HQ: The leader of the council was looking at Pike who was wet as ever.
"He's dead all right," said a member. The leader shrugged.
"Not for long. Milty, wake him up," said the leader. One of the members of the council, a Miltank stepped forward. It walked up to Pike and touched it with its hand. Immediately Pike began coughing up seawater.
"What the hell?" he asked. The leader turned to an Alakazam.
"Erase his memory of the afterlife, we don't want him to go insane on us," said the leader. The Alakazam nodded and held up his spoons. They bent and Pike immediately lost his short-term memory.
"Pike, what's the last thing you remember?" asked the leader. Pike shook his head to clear his thoughts.
"The last thing I remember is The Legend flying off and water and lava rushing towards me. How did I get here? I'm surprised I didn't die," said Pike. Some of the members looked at each other in fear when the leader spoke up.
"Yeah, you would have. Luckily an Abra was in the area and picked you up after you passed out. It brought you here and you've been resting and recuperating for the past few days," said the leader.
"Oh," said Pike clearly confused but accepting it.
"What's the last thing you remember?" asked the leader. Pike shrugged.
"Something about destroying Cinnabar Island as a message and that he was coming for you. The rest is a blur at that point," said Pike. The leader nodded.
"You've done well, now rest," said the leader. Pike nodded and began sleeping while the leader motioned to the Alakazam. The pokemon raised its' spoons and ceased all of Pike's brain functions.
"I hate doing that. It pains me to have to bring him back only to kill him again," said the leader.
"What's done is done. We needed the information and we couldn't have gotten it any other way," said another member a little sad.
"So The Legend wants to attack us does he? We'll show him who is truly stronger here, us!," said another member rubbing his fists together.
"Unfortunately, we might not win. The Legend hasn't aged a day since he disappeared and we have. Even a combined effort probably wouldn't be enough. We'd better call in the pokemarines and just about all of the armed forces," said the leader.
"I'll go call them," said another member running off.
"We still need to locate The Legend," said yet another member.
"Yes. I need to know the location of every psychic attack in the past 24 hours," said the leader. A map of Johto, Kanto, and Hoen appeared. Then several lights went on that showed various psychic attacks.
"Well we can pretty much rule out any attacks in the cities, the same goes for the Safari Zone, those are just Pokemon just capturing or killing various humans. Let's see what's left," said the leader. The lights disappeared and three were left: one in the Hoen Desert, one in the Whirl Islands, and one in a wooded area southwest of Cianwood City.
"He's one of those three, but which one?" asked the leader.
"Well we can rule out the desert, I approved a scientific venture into the desert by a group of Alakazam scientists. They had been there the previous year and had located some human skeletons so they wanted to go back and recover the rest," said the member.
"You know our policy on recovering human remains. The last thing we want is for them to determine the truth that humans and Pokemon were friends and not bitter enemies," said the leader. The member shrugged.
"I know, but you recall that controversy we had a few years ago with that group of Primeapes and they whole 'it's for science and information is not good or bad' stuff they tried to pull on us? I trust we all remember the controversy that arose over that issue. I just wanted to avoid another year of headaches," said the member. The leader shrugged.
"Yes, I see your point. So we can rule that out. What about the ocean?" The leader asked.
"Another group of Alakazam scientists found the remains of the S.S. Aqua underneath the ocean and wanted to bring it to the surface for further examination. I believe they reported in a few days ago that said they'd found it and were helping the Gyrados and Mantine on the team to bring it up," said the member.
"You know about our bans on technology," said the leader.
"Yes, but the ship is pretty much worthless by now. Whatever data it contained is gone and so are its' secrets as to water travel. They don't even know what it is and I doubt they'll ever find out. We've nothing to fear from them," said the member.
"Fine, that leaves the spot SW of Cianwood City. Any ideas as to what's down there?" asked the leader. The members all racked their brains for the idea as to what was down there. Then a member snapped his fingers.
"I seem to recall Giovanni once being angry about some incident that happened down there. Something blew up, or something else and it had to do with The Legend. What was it, it was called Poke something," said the member.
"Let's take another look in the vaults," said the leader. The group went through the various security checks and emerged into Team Rocket's vault.
"Here's the P,o,k,e section, each one take a section and pour through what's there," said the leader. Each member began pouring through the information.
Pokeshank: The Legend, looking like a human and eating an apple, was sitting on a table across from Giovanni. Next to him there were stacks of information.
"So, spill it. How did this happen?" asked Giovanni. The Legend sighed.
"I suppose it began the instant you decided to come after me. While we were fighting, Celebi did something to transport us into the future. Since you never told anyone where you were going, and the helicopter never let off a distress signal, and the fact that nobody was nearby who knew what it was that blew up, everyone assumed you had died. Your will stated that Domino was to become leader of Team Rocket following your death. That was fine, but many on your board of directors didn't want her to take power, they wanted it. They found out that she was your illegitimate daughter with Delia Ketchum, her brother, your illegitimate son, was Ash Ketchum, who had been Team Rocket's rival for many years. This allowed for a large power as each director pushed forward their own puppets and the struggle that nearly splintered Team Rocket. Eventually the director who won, was the one who pushed Jessie, James, and Meowth into power," said The Legend. Giovanni shuddered.
"So they drove it into the ground," said Giovanni.
"Actually they didn't. In fact they did a very good job. They however pushed for more robots and Team Rocket became the largest manufacturer of giant robots in the world and made Team Rocket more successful than ever. But the director didn't want robots. Instead he wanted power. But when Jessie, James, and Meowth refused to follow his orders because they claimed they were still loyal to you, another power struggle took place. Then when Domino got involved in revenge for losing her father's company, Team Rocket was destroyed as a result and went bankrupt. As a result, many of your 'experiments' got loose and began roaming the world attacking various cities. On their own they weren't that powerful because they were extremely uncoordinated in fighting. Fast-forward 350 years and a Pokemon named Jett. He was a distant ancestor of Ash's Pikachu and his owner was killed during a small brushfire between those who still believe Team Rocket could restore his former glory. This pokemon vowed revenge on all humans. It somehow gained access to Team Rocket's files and located twelve of your most powerful pokemon that were still alive. He got them together and planned various attacks against humanity. They fought hard, and humanity fought back. Nukes, firebombs, cyanide, napalm, all were used against the Pokemon as they overrode various cities. Goldenrod City, Cerulean City, and Celadon City were all nuked into oblivion. All of Hoen was declared a Forbidden Zone because it was hit with fifty Neutron bombs and the amount of radiation covering that planet has sent the area into nuclear winter. In order to survive there you need radiation suits and the radiation drifted over into Johto and Kanto killing thousands of acres of trees. But I'm digressing from the main subject. The pokemon eventually struck back and managed to take over most nuclear launch sites. Unfortunately a nuke was about to launch from a site that had just been taken over and since they couldn't take it down without setting it off, they knocked out a propulsion jet instead. The nuke flew off into the moon and exploded taking a a third of the moon with it. The rocks either devastated the surface of the planet like at Ecruteak City or entered into orbit and became an orbital ring. The loss of the moon's gravitational pull caused the waters to recede and severally depleted the drinkable water supply. The final battle occurred at the Indigo Plateau. The humans had barricaded themselves in the place and then the ultimate battle occurred with thousands of humans fighting millions of Pokemon. Needless to say the Pokemon won, but Jett was killed during the fighting. A giant memorial was built for him at Lavender Town and there are celebrations there every year to celebrate his birth. Anyway, when the war ended there was a big argument as to who would lead. Eventually it was sorted out and the twelve Team Rocket pokemon that Jett had brought together would lead the council of 'elders'. They then decided that they would change the year layout and name every year A.J., after Jett starting with year 0 A.J. We're currently in the year 750 A.J. meaning that damn Celebi transported us 1100 years into the future," said The Legend.
"Celebi can't do that, it would take more energy than it could muster," said Giovanni.
"Then it must've frozen us and since your little trinket suppressed my powers, that meant that they couldn't counteract Celebi's time freezing. So when your device went offline, my powers came back and we got free. This also sort of explains why we were so weak all of a sudden, it's because we'd emerged from the temporal freeze," said The Legend. Giovanni shrugged.
"So what now?" he asked.
"I don't know, I just don't know. I suppose the first thing we should try and do is to locate the Celebi that brought us here. Then we convince it to send us back to our own time where we stop ourselves from entering into the future," said The Legend.
"So we stop this war from happening and we forget this event ever happened. I like it," said Giovanni.
"Yeah, but in all likelihood the council has it," said The Legend.
"You said these pokemon were from the very old Team Rocket, who are they?" asked Giovanni. The Legend looked at a clipping that showed the twelve members.
"Charmaster, the fourth evolution of Charmander, Milty a Miltank that can revive dead Pokemon, Zapticuno a dodrio spliced together with Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres it has a head of each and multicolored body and wings as well as all of their powers, Mewthree another Mewtwo experiment," began The Legend before Giovanni cut him off.
"And let me guess, Venustoise, Blastizard, Charizaur, Charvenustoise, I assume you can tell what Pokemon they were spliced from. Lightbulbasaur an electrical bulbasaur, a Pichuku a Pichu with enough electrical power to give light to the world for the next fifty years, Pikablu a clone of the legendary PokeGod with somewhat of the same powers, and a Dark Ditto a ditto that can imitate a Pokemon down to its' cellular levels and have more twice as much power as the duplicated Pokemon," said Giovanni crossing his arms. The Legend looked at him wide-eyed.
"How did you know?" he asked.
HQ: "Found it! It's called Pokeshank and it was a maximum-security prison for Pokemon. The Legend spent some time there, that's got to be where he is," said Charmaster.
"All right alert the local military and have them blast that prison to smithereens. The rest of us will work on fortifying this place and studying the attack strategies of The Legend. It's what we were designed for, let's move," said the leader: Dark Ditto. The others nodded and moved out.
Pokeshank: "Legend, these pokemon were created for the simple purpose of combating you. They were called Blue Squad and they cover a wide range of attacks and powers," said Giovanni. The Legend seemed to drink in this knowledge.
"Isn't that a little bit overkill? I'm only one pokemon," said The Legend. Giovanni nodded.
"Yes, but as much as I hate to admit it you're one damn powerful Pokemon. Your strength is off the charts and I needed a crack team to take you out and they were it," said Giovanni.
"And now we're screwed because you probably way over estimated my powers. I can't take on a crack team such as them alone. But if I had help and some modifications," said The Legend.
"What're you suggesting?" asked Giovanni.
"Where did you store the remains of Mewtwo's focusing equipment?" asked The Legend.
"Viridian City or to be precise right outside of it. Why?" Giovanni asked. Suddenly The Legend stood up abruptly and his imaged dissolved into Mewn.
"We've got to go, prepare for a rush," said Mewn. He blasted off out the window and psychically took Giovanni with him seconds before a rocket entered into the mess hall and exploded. Mewn soared off with Giovanni as more rockets destroyed the complex. They then landed near Cianwood City.
"We've got to get to Viridian City," he said simply.
"Why can't you psychically take us?" asked Giovanni.
"Because I've been overtaxing my powers that haven't been used in 1100 years. I'll probably never get my powers back for at least another 10,000 years and I don't want to have to wait that long before attacking the council. If I can get my hands on Mewtwo's focusing equipment then I can attack the council now," said Mewn. Giovanni nodded.
"Makes sense. Still though will it be enough?" Giovanni asked. Mewn shook his head.
"No it won't be. That's why I need to contact an old friend after getting to Viridian City," said Mewn.
"Who?" Giovanni asked.
"Ho-oH," said Mewn. Giovanni looked at him wide-eyed.
"He's still alive?" he asked incredulously.
"Of course. He's older than I am and that's including the time we spent frozen in time," said Mewn.
"It has to be dead by now," said Giovanni disbelieving it.
"I can still sense him, he exists. As soon as we get to Viridian City I'll try and find him," said Mewn. They both walked in silence towards Cianwood City.
HQ: "Well we have good news and bad news. The good news was the prison was hit. The bad new is that The Legend and Giovanni escaped before it blew up," said Venustoise.
"Damn," said Blastizard.
"Tell them to fall back to Cianwood City, they'll take him out there," said Dark Ditto.
"All right," said Mewthree contacting the team psychically.
Cianwood City: Mewn and Giovanni were looking at the troop buildup through a pair of binoculars they'd 'obtained' from a passerby.
"They must know we're coming otherwise the buildup probably wouldn't have happened," said Mewn.
"Can you take them on in your weakened state?" asked Giovanni. Mewn shrugged.
"I don't know. Somehow I feel my powers are getting weaker but I can't explain why. I'll do my best to mask our appearances, but don't try any sudden movements unless you absolutely have to," said Mewn. Giovanni nodded and the two of them headed towards the city. On the way, Mewn's appearance changed into an Electabuzz while Giovanni just had a few cosmetic changes done via Mewn's psychic masking system. They then proceeded to the city gates.
"State your names," said the guard.
"Does it matter? I'm clearly not the one you're looking for," said Mewn. The guard nodded reluctantly.
"Well no you're not, but I still would like to know," said the guard. Mewn crossed his arms.
"Then I plead the fifth," he said.
"The what?" The guard asked. Mewn's eyes went wide open.
"Damnit the U.S. Constitution doesn't exist anymore! Stupid!" thought Mewn.
"It's not important," said Mewn.
"I think it is. I'll have to report you," said the guard. Mewn suddenly grew tense along with Giovanni when an Alakazam scientist showed up.
"That won't be necessary soldier. I invited them, they're welcome here," said the scientist.
"I should still report it," said the guard uncertain as to what to do.
"Like I said, it won't be necessary. I'll be responsible for what actions they take while they stay here," said the Alakazam.
"Fine," said the guard anxious to get the matter taken care of. The scientist looked at them.
"Come with me," he said simply. They walked down a city street that had various Alakazam in labcoats walking everywhere. Inside several of the houses were plenty of experiments being conducted and formulas postulated and stuff of scientific nature.
"Well I'll be. A research village with its' own scientific community," said Mewn. The Alakazam nodded.
"Coming from an Electabuzz I'd be shocked because they aren't so bright, but you. You're different because you're a legend," said the Alakazam. Mewn sighed.
"I knew there was no way I could conceal my appearance and hide it from powerful psychic Pokemon such as Alakazam. So what now? Are you going to turn me in?" asked Mewn. The Alakazam snorted.
"Don't be stupid. You have a highly intellectual mind and we wouldn't dare turn in one of our own to be destroyed. Besides, you have knowledge we seek," said the Alakazam. They passed more Alakazam doing experiments.
"Isn't what you're doing here illegal?" asked Mewn.
"Illegal? Hah! Try treasonous! The council has banned all technology with the exception of the catchers to make humans obedient to Pokemon. We could all be incarcerated for what we do here," said the Alakazam.
"Then why aren't you?" asked Mewn.
"Because the Council doesn't really investigate us. We think they're too afraid to find out what we're doing here. Ignorance is bliss mind you. It might also have to with the fact that we've been lying to them about the scope of our operations. Everything we've just discovered has actually been found days ago. We only report it later to make sure they don't come here and investigate," said the Alakazam.
"Not to mention your closer proximity to the deadly radiation of Hoenn," said Mewn.
"Yes, and so was a Whirl Island that was nuked into oblivion. There are fine examples of how science can be used for evil. But that's not what we're doing here, we're using science for good," said the Alakazam.
"In our experience there difference between good and evil is hard to tell," said Mewn. Giovanni nodded at this statement.
"Yes, and it is our hope that our knowledge will be for good. We have only the best intentions in mind," said the Alakazam.
"And the road to evil is often paved with good intentions believe me I know. Anyway, why do you want me?" asked Mewn.
"Tell me, do you know what this is?" asked the Alakazam. They entered into a large warehouse next to the waterfront and noticed a large heavily damaged and seaweed covered hydrofoil that was being examined by Alakazam scientists. Mewn laughed and shook his head.
"Of course I know what it is. It's the S.S. Aqua and I should know because I designed it," said Mewn. Both Giovanni and the Alakazam looked at him wide-eyed.
"You designed this?" they both asked incredulously.
"Of course I did. A Pokemon's gotta eat you know. Yeah I designed it disguised as a human. She worked pretty well I heard course I never got to ride her because I had too much other things on my agenda to be bothered riding a boat. How'd she sink?" said Mewn as his image returned to his normal form.
"The S.S. Aqua hit a reef and sank a 100 B.J.(before Jett). We found it a month ago but we only told the Council about it two days ago," said the Alakazam.
"So why do you want me to help you?" asked Mewn. The Alakazam sighed.
"The scientific community has come to a consensus that they're fed up with the way things are here. We know how things used to be when Pokemon and humans were on friendly terms and science was accepted and not feared. We want to repair this ship and sail off for parts unknown to conduct our own scientific research and try and mend the wrongs of our society. We need your help," said the Alakazam. Mewn seemed to be thinking about the situation at hand.
"Well I'll need your help of course under one condition. When this thing is fixed you take me and my slave to Vermillion City and then you can go wherever you want," said Mewn. He suddenly realized he'd spoken a word of the 'devil' and cringed slightly. Alakazam shrugged.
"Do not worry, to a scientist there is no such thing as good or bad. I accept. Now please, help us," said the Alakazam. Mewn nodded and moved towards the ship.
"Council of Elders, your time has ended. I'm finally returning to Kanto," thought Mewn with a smile on his face.
