Roy blocks his eyes from the light. He can feel it's heat radiating around him. Then... it all disappears. He opens his eyes slowly, noticing the light is now gone. He looks at his surroundings. An empty field of grass... or used to be, anyway. The grass had withered away from the dark atmosphere that the Evil Alliance set forth upon it. Roy continues to glance around, seeing a dead city a ways away, but no sign of the others. "Mario! Link!" Roy yells, only to hear the sound of his voice echoing.
He glances around some more, his attention shifting to the sky. He sees many many of what appear to be balloons floating around the sky. He recognizes a few of them as Pokemon he's familiar with. "Huh... I guess I'm in one of the Pokemon Lands." He says.
"Kanto, to be exact." Says a familiar voice.
Roy spins around, and sees Mewtwo only a small distance away. He's still clutching Marth's sword. "Give me that sword..." Roy says, raising his own.
Mewtwo spins the sword around on his finger and grabs its handle. "Come and get it from me." He says.
Roy wastes no time and charges Mewtwo, his blade aflame. He attempts a strike, but Mewtwo moves to the side and grabs his arm. Before Roy can turn to look, he feels himself being teleported away. In a flash, he finds himself landing on a rubber contraption. He stands up, and quickly realizes he's on one of the large balloons in the sky... one resembling a Jigglypuff. He looks over the side and sees the rather large drop to the ground below. He backs away. "Well... at least these balloons are stable... not sinking or anything..." He says, "now... where did he go?"
"Are you looking for me?" Mewtwo yells.
Roy turns to the direction of Mewtwo's voice, and spots him on a balloon higher up. "Well, are you going to fight me like a man?" Roy yells back up.
"Aww... and spoil all my fun?" Mewtwo says, smirking.
"If you classify 'fun' as 'running scared,' then I'm sure you'll be having a lot of... 'fun.'" Roy says, tauntingly.
That comment strikes one of Mewtwo's nerves. He jumps down off the balloon and falls down onto the next, right in front of Roy. Roy grasps his sword out in front of him, ready for Mewtwo's move. "I guess you want to play with swords." Mewtwo states.
With that, he tosses Marth's blade a bit into the air. It comes down in front of him, and halts in midair, surrounded in a small purple energy field. "What are you doing?" Roy asks.
"Sword vs. Sword, by dear boy. I'm sure you're familiar with the concept." Mewtwo says.
Mewtwo propels forward a bit. Marth's sword swings at Roy, who dodges. He's controlling Marth's sword with his mind... Roy thinks to himself.
"Indeed I am." Mewtwo says.
"Oh yes. You're psychic. Well predict this!" Roy says, lunging forward.
Mewtwo gets ready, seeing an overhand strike. He moves the sword upward, but it doesn't clash. Roy has faked the shot and gone low. Roy's sword hits Mewtwo's midsection, nearly impaling him. Mewtwo dashes back and attempts to reassert himself, but Roy is right back on him. Roy swings his sword swiftly in a left handed strike, but Mewtwo is able to block it. Mewtwo swipes the sword toward Roy a few quick times, but can't hit. Roy swings his sword hard, knocking Marth's sword awry. Mewtwo attempts to adjust it. Roy takes the opportunity and slashes at Mewtwo. Mewtwo teleports back a few feet and adjusts his concentration. He then looks down at his chest, and sees Roy's blade has struck him. He spots a laceration, with blood oozing out. "Grrrr.... you will pay for that, boy." He says, quite angry.
"You don't know how to use a sword. This battle will end quickly." Roy states.
Mewtwo laughs, and beckons Roy to charge him. Roy does so, waiting for what he thinks Mewtwo will do. He slashes, but Mewtwo doesn't teleport away, as he predicted. He instead blocks the attack with Falchion, and then goes for a slash toward Roy's face. Roy backflips away from the strike and restands, only to see the sword speeding toward him. He moves to the side, the sword slashing his arm as it passes. Roy yells out, and grabs the wound. He looks back at Mewtwo, who is smiling. "You underestimate my powers, Roy..." He says.
Roy just looks at him for a moment. "No, actually. I don't." He states.
With that, he jumps up in the air. Marth's sword comes zipping under him. Mewtwo had tried to fire it back while Roy wasn't looking. "Impossible! How did you see that?" Mewtwo says.
Roy says nothing, and instead charges Mewtwo. Mewtwo brings up the Falchion to defend. Roy comes down hard with a fire-charged blade, knocking Falchion from Mewtwo's psychic hold. Mewtwo backs away, but Roy strikes him again. Mewtwo flashes his Disable move, but misses. Roy continues his assault, but Mewtwo grabs the sword with his hand, attempting to yank it out of Roy's grasp. Roy pulls back, but suspects Mewtwo will use his psychic powers, now that his sword is stationary. He kicks Mewtwo in the stomach, causing him to release the hold on his sword. He attempts an underhand slash, but Mewtwo teleports. Roy looks around and up, attempting to spot Mewtwo. On a higher balloon, Mewtwo appears, looking down at Roy. "Get back down here and fight!" Roy yells.
Mewtwo begins to rain down Shadow Balls at Roy, who attempts to dodge. One strikes him in the leg, causing him to lose his balance. He spots a few more heading at him, so he begins blocking with his sword. He gets back up and runs a few feet over, grabbing Marth's sword, which Mewtwo had dropped. He uses both blades to block the Shadow Balls. Mewtwo attempts a large one. Roy charges his blade with fire, striking the Shadow Ball and sending it back at Mewtwo, who moves. This is insane. Roy cannot be this powerful... Mewtwo thinks to himself.
Roy charges his blade and slashes at the balloon Mewtwo is on, but his blade does not break it. The balloons are made of a very strong material. He keeps trying. Mewtwo quickly realizes he may pop the balloon. He motions his hand over to the right. Roy sees this and looks over. He spots several balloons coming toward him, all shaped like small black Pokemon. He ducks one and rolls to avoid another. Mewtwo, eyes glowing, arranges them in a stack formation. Roy jumps into the air and lands on one as it passes by him. Now flying over a drop on a small balloon, he contemplates what to do. He then notices a few of the small balloons moving and speeding at him. He strikes at one with his sword, knocking it away. However, the second one strikes him before he could reach it, and he falls off, plummeting toward the grass plain below. No... this can't be it... He says.
He closes his eyes and waits for impact, but he instead feels himself flying in air again. He opens his eyes, and realizes a large orange Pokemon has flown under him and saved him from the fall. "WHAT? A Charizard? How can this be!?" Mewtwo says.
The Charizard flies up toward Mewtwo. Roy slides off of its back and lands on the Jigglypuff balloon. He looks down at the ground, and sees a group of all sorts of Pokemon gathered, all seeming to be quite angry with Mewtwo. Up above him, Mewtwo is attacked by the Charizard. The Charizard blasts a large wave of fire at him, but Mewtwo extends a psychic shield to stop it. Then, he gathers an energy ball and fires a beam through the fire, striking Charizard. Roy watches as the Charizard, unconscious, plummets to the ground below. Roy notices several more flying Pokemon, all carrying land Pokemon on their backs, begin flying up toward Mewtwo. "No... they'll all suffer the same fate..." Roy says.
He looks over to the neighboring balloon, knowing it's now or never. He begins gathering his flash fire energy on his blade, to the point where it's glowing almost white. He thrusts it forward, indenting it into the balloon, and popping it. The balloon rockets backward, the force ripping Roy's sword from his hand. Mewtwo struggles to hang on as he's rocketed down to the ground below. The balloon hits the ground with a large quake, and quickly deflates fully. Mewtwo, nearly buried into the solid ground, stands up awkwardly. He then sees the group of Pokemon coming at him, led by a Houndoom. Mewtwo, despite his outside injuries, begins gathering his dark energy. "I'll be damned if I let a group of weak Pokemon defeat ME!" He yells.
With that, he fires a large psychic blast, which extends out. All the Pokemon stop in their tracks and attempt to run, but the blast overtakes them all. The ray dissipates, leaving a mass of unconscious Pokemon. Mewtwo attempts to catch his breath, his energy almost gone. Then, he's struck by a thunderbolt. He hits the ground hard, and the looks up, spotting a small little Pichu, surging with electricity around him. "Piiichu!" The Pichu says.
"What are you thinking, you insolent rat! I will tear your heart out..." Mewtwo says, standing up.
Roy approaches, after hitching a ride from a Pidgeot. He sees the Pichu spurting out something to Mewtwo that he cannot understand. "What? Your brother? I have no idea..." Mewtwo says.
"He means Pikachu, Mewtwo," Roy says, getting Mewtwo's attention, "all these Pokemon know what you've done to him, as well as to all of Kanto."
"I don't care! In my quest for domination, no one is spared!" Mewtwo yells.
Pichu fires a bolt of thunder towards Mewtwo, who's ready. He puts up a pitch-black energy disc and blocks it. The energy disk begins to gather the electric energy. Mewtwo then thrusts it forward. It travels along the path of electricity and strikes Pichu, causing an electrical explosion that sends Pichu flying. Roy attempts to flank Mewtwo, but Mewtwo barely notices and moves away. Mewtwo notices Roy is using Marth's sword. Roy keeps at it, despite the immense area they're in. Mewtwo begins to charge his psychic energy, knowing Roy can't hit him. Then, a rumble is heard, and the ground underneath the fighter's feet crashes downward, turning into a ditch. Mewtwo notices a Donphan not too far away had used Earthquake. He looks back at Roy, who is just seconds away from an underhand strike. No time to move, Mewtwo extends his shield. Roy strikes the shield, but keeps on pushing, attempting to break through the shield. "You can't hold it forever, Mewtwo!" He says.
"You just watch me!" Mewtwo says.
The stationary struggle continues, and Roy feels the sword begin pushed away. Mewtwo's shield is gaining power. "What... no..." Roy says.
Mewtwo just laughs. Roy begins to push with all this strength, but it doesn't want to go. Suddenly, the sword begins to shine in blue energy. Roy looks on in surprise as the sword begins to slowly penetrate Mewtwo's shield. "WHAT? How are you powering that sword!?" Mewtwo says, shocked.
Roy smiles. "It's not me who is doing it..." He says.
"What? What are you saying?" Mewtwo says, though he already knows.
The energy begins to shine greater, as Mewtwo can feel his shield contracting. "THIS ONE IS FOR MARTH!" Roy yells.
The sword busts through the barrier, striking Mewtwo with immense force. A bright white explosion is the result, and Mewtwo goes flying out of the ditch. Roy falls to his knees, exhausted from the struggle. He then feels something wrap around him. A Bayleef up above him lifts him out of the ditch and onto solid ground. Roy stands up and dusts himself off. He looks over at all the Pokemon, who are obviously happy at his victory. He looks over and sees Mewtwo, lying unconscious. He looks down at Falchion, Marth's sword, and smiles. "Oh crap... I better go find my sword!" He says.
He runs over toward the deflated balloon and looks around, spotting his sword, still stuck in it. Not a second after he picks it up, he notices something odd. All the dark mist surrounding the nearby city has begun to flow into the grass plain. All the Pokemon spot it and attempt to run away. The mist passes over some of them, and they pass out. Roy turns around and runs for it, but then notices the mist coming through from that way. He stops and looks back. All the Pokemon have been overtaken. It's now approaching him on all sides. "This is unreal... I can't go anywhere..." He says.
The mist passes over him, covering his legs. It moves up and passes over his face. He coughs for a moment, and then everything goes white.
