"Chapter 12-Brother, My Brother"
Kurt sat down on his couch after finishing dinner. He stared at the GS Ball sitting on the middle of his coffee table. It now served as more of a conversation piece than an enigma. He picked it up and looked it over. The famous PokéBall creator of Azalea Town had spent years studying the ball, hoping to uncover what its purpose was. Failure after failure eventually left him frustrated to the point where he finally gave up all hope of revealing its secrets. Still, he often wondered just where this thing came from, and what its purpose was.
"I guess there are some mysteries man was not meant to solve," he said, placing the ball back on the table. He picked up the paper and began to read it. A few minutes later, he could have sworn he heard a noise from inside the room, but he couldn't tell where it as coming from. He looked overtop his paper and noticed the GS Ball was moving back and forth.
"What in the world?!" he exclaimed. He watched in awe as the ball began to glow and rise into the air. Slowly the GS Ball began to open itself.
"I don't understand!" the bewildered Kurt said. "What's happening?"
The ball completely opened up and continued to float there above Kurt's coffee table. Suddenly, a streak of bright light shot out of the ball, knocking Kurt over as it flew past him and right out the window. The GS Ball stopped glowing and dropped to the ground. Kurt got back on his feet and picked up the ball. There was nothing inside. It was completely empty.
"Well, that was unexpected," Kurt said. "I wish I knew what was in there, though." Kurt walked over to the broken window where the light had escaped, but there was no sign of it outside. Whatever it was, it was gone.

Ash rushed to the side of the beaten Mewtwo. He was hurt, but not badly. After all, his injures couldn't be life threatening. Alpha was bound never to kill. He was more drained of energy than anything else. It left him weak and unable to move.
"Are you okay?" Ash asked.
"I'll be fine," Mewtwo weakly said. "I'm sorry, Ash. I've failed."
"No, it's not your fault. You did all you could."
"I'm sorry." Mewtwo said.
Ash stood up and stared down Alpha. He was visibly angry, more so than he had ever been in his entire life.
"You won't get away with this, Alpha," he said. "We will fight you to the last."
"This is your last, I'm afraid," Alpha chuckled. "Your defender is beaten. It's over. I win. And now, I will infect every last wild Pokémon on this planet. They shall become mine again, and I will use them to destroy you pathetic humans and your traitor Pokémon."
Ash wanted to just rush up and attack him. Hurt him badly. Do whatever he could to stop this, but he knew he wasn't strong enough. He knew it was over. They'd lost.
"This can't be happening," he thought to himself, starting to tear up. "It can't."
"Pikachu," Pikachu said, trying to console him. Ash picked up his Pokémon, the very first one he ever made friends with, and gave Pikachu a hug. Misty walked over and held his hand.
"I won't let anything happen to either of you," he said. "I love you both."
"Enough," Alpha said, tiring of their human sentiment. "Enjoy your last moments of freedom. This world now belongs to me."
"Not so fast!" a voice shouted from above. They all looked up to see a light shining in the air above them.
"What is that?" Misty asked.
The light slowly descended in front of Alpha. It began to slowly materialize into a physical form. Now standing before them all was a creature, which resembled Alpha, only instead of being Pikachu in appearance, it looked more like a Mew. Even in this form, Alpha recognized who it was.
"Hello, brother," Alpha said.
"Hello, Alpha," Omega said, greeting his brother who he had not seen in over 2 million years.
"Omega!" the stunned Ash said.
"I thought he no longer existed," Tracey said, remembering what Alpha had mentioned before.
"My brother's lies, I assure you," explained Omega. "I have existed on this planet for millions of years. After sealing my brother away, I came to this planet to destroy my brother's evil creations. When I arrived, I saw that the Pokémon were living in peace here. I could not destroy them. Rather, I decided the right thing to do would be to protect them. I encased myself in a special device, to awaken only if this planet would ever be threatened by his evil again."
"Special device?" Ash asked.
"Yes, you might be familiar with it Ash; the GS Ball."
"The GS Ball?!" Brock exclaimed. "No way!"
"Who'd of thought one of the universe's most powerful beings was hidden inside the GS Ball when he first encountered it at Professor Ivy's," said Ash.
"Uh, Ash," Misty said, pointing to Brock, who was huddled down on the ground.
"That name..," he said.
"Oh, right," Ash said, slapping his forehead.
"Enough chit-chat," Alpha said.
"You're right, brother," Omega said. "I think it's time I remedy a mistake I made all those years ago. Your evil will not be allowed to exist on this peaceful planet."
"This time, I won't lose," said Alpha. "The battle lines have been drawn. Let it begin."
