Mewtwo's Story Chapter 11- Final showdown! Can Aijou be defeated?

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. Enough said.

A/N This will be the final chapter to my story. Thank you for everyone who reviewed. I really appreciate it. If you didn't review, well, the little button down in the corner isn't going anywhere...

**********************************flashback**************************** Mewtwo stood up for the second time in a minute, never having fallen back down. He declared, "That was unpleasant. But I have now confronted all of the memories that I fear. I am now completely ready to fight you." *********************************end flashback***************************

No sooner had Mewtwo said this then he found out that it wasn't exactly true. Some of the Dark energy had not been absorbed yet, and caused him to double over. The psychic-type was not expecting this. He thought that he had absorbed all of the Dark energy, as he had awakened. But some seemed to be left inside him. He could only watch as Aijou ran out the door through which he had entered and yelled, "Let's see if you're brave enough to follow me this time!"

Mewtwo regained control of himself, and followed recklessly after Aijou. He found himself in a room with nothing in it but a mirror. He looked at the image, frozen. The reflection was not his own. His teeth had grown sharper, and his fur was no longer light purple, but a much darker hue. He had strange markings all over him. All in all, he looked rather much like Aijou.

[See what you've become?} jeered the Dark mew. [In trying to defeat me, you have become just like me!]

"That isn't true," Mewtwo retorted. "I may look like you, but I'm nothing like you! I'd never cheat the way you did!"

[Oh, you can't be so sure of that.... Only one with a truly dark heart could have absorbed the dark energy...unless.... All those types whose hearts are filled with the light...they should have been torn apart! You should have been torn apart!]

"You can't underestimate me like that, Aijou. I could stand the Dark energy, but not because I was Dark. If I was Dark, it wouldn't have hurt me, like it didn't hurt you. I accepted it, not embraced it. There's a difference."

[You are a fool! You are no better than I am! Follow me into the next room, and I'll show you the truth!] With this, the Dark mew opened a portal in the mirror, and flew through it. [Follow me, if you're not afraid to see what you really are!]

Mewtwo followed the Dark mew, feeling that he should show the mew how wrong he really was. "I'm not afraid of your tests, Aijou," he called as he entered the portal.

Mewtwo fell through the portal for what seemed like hours, although it only lasted for a few seconds. Images floated around in his head; happy and unhappy melted together until Mewtwo wasn't sure who or what he was anymore. Just when he thought that he couldn't take it anymore, it stopped.

He found himself in a circular room. The room seemed to be divided like a Yin-Yang, half was covered in Light energy that was brighter then the light from the sun, the other half covered in Dark energy that was darker than a starless, moonless night. Aijou was standing on the Dark half.

[So, you decided to follow. No matter, you will meet your end here!] the Dark mew screeched. He said a few words in the mew language, and the Dark energy encircled him like a cocoon. The Dark energy around him grew, until it would have easily fit Mewtwo inside it as well as the mew. Suddenly, it stopped growing.

The Dark energy surrounding Aijou seemed to be absorbed by the Dark mew, and soon disappeared. When the mew emerged, it could not have been recognized as a mew at all. Its ears had grown into long horns, curving slightly. Its eyes were red; its face wrinkled and ugly; its fangs no longer able to fit in its mouth. It had grown several times in width, not with fat, but with muscle. Its tail looked like a dragon's, thicker and muscular, with spikes running down it, and up its back. Its feet were talons, and its hands had evil-looking, curved claws. It was a head over Mewtwo in height, and its demon wings, which it folded behind it, looked torn and thin compared to its size.

It spoke in a deep, rumbling voice. [You may have been able to defeat me before, but not now. You are doomed. The smartest thing would be for you to run away. Then, at least, you would prolong your life by a few minutes.]

Mewtwo, however, had no intentions of running away. He charged the monster, only to be thrown into a wall by a flick from its claws. He stood up slowly, winded.

[You have no chance against my ultimate form,] the monster boomed. [You should have finished me before. You are too soft. I will destroy you for that!]

Mewtwo, barely on his feet, wondered what to do. He already had the disadvantage of the Dark energy the mew had infused into him. He threw has strongest Light based attack, but the monster deflected it. It hit its tail against the ground, knocking the barely standing Psychic-type to the ground. Unfortunately, Mewtwo landed on the Dark side of the floor.

Mewtwo could barely move any more. The Dark energy tried to surround him. Mewtwo could barely crawl, and he was hit with more Dark energy every time he moved. Aijou laughed.

[You can barely move, and yet you hope to defeat me. You 'good guys' never give up, do you? You really ought to quit. I might go easy on you!]

Mewtwo continued to pull himself along the ground, finally making it to the Light side. He felt himself being filled with strength as the Light energy attempted to heal him. Aijou, however, wasn't impressed. He used a weak Dark attack, knocking the weakened Psychic-type out.

Mewtwo found himself in a dream world once again. The phoenix that had helped him when he was infused with the Dark energy flew to him again. It began singing. Mewtwo understood the meaning behind the song, even though he had never learned the phoenix's language. It was saying, [Don't give up...you can win!] but that was mixed with another language, an ancient mew language that was echoing through the song. It said [Reli pidore gurena asura me letona!] words that Mewtwo had never heard before, but realized that he must learn. As he heard the song, he felt himself grow stronger, and started waking up.

Mewtwo stood up, feeling power surging through him, a power that he had not felt since he started his fight with Aijou. His eyes glowed blue, as they had so many times before, and the Psychic power that had been trapped by Aijou was released. Mewtwo had freed himself.

The Psychic power that Mewtwo now felt was different then before, however, even though it felt the same. The phoenix song was mixed with it, and kept repeating the mew words. [Reli pidore gurena asura me letona!]

Mewtwo unconsciously began repeating the words himself, and was surprised to find the Light energy encircling him as the Dark energy had done with Aijou. He felt warmth inside him as he began to change.

First, the Dark markings that he had been given by the Dark energy faded. All traces of the Dark energy were purified and used to heal Mewtwo. The other energy continued to circle around the Psychic-type, causing the fur on his ears to grow longer, until they looked like feathers. His body became thinner, while his purple eyes took on a glowing quality. He no longer had any purple markings on his tail, as his fur turned entirely golden. He glowed with an unmistakable presence. Mewtwo had been reborn.

He spoke in a light, soft voice. "Aijou, you ought to admit you are wrong. I no longer wish to fight with you."

The mew only laughed in return. [If you don't remember, I have captured Shiawaze. You must fight me!]

The Psychic-type didn't seem to mind. "If that is the way it must be...." He rushed at the Dark-type, and hit him into the wall. Aijou looked surprised.

[So, you, worthless as you are, found a way to fight. But that doesn't guarantee victory!] He shot a Dark attack at Mewtwo.

"Pitiful," the Psychic responded as he tossed the attack into the Light energy on his side of the floor. "You forget that Dark energy has no effect on Light-types. I am the first true Light-type! If you give Shiawaze back, I will leave without causing any further harm to you."

[You're too soft,] Aijou spat. [Do you honestly believe that I would give up?]

Mewtwo shook his head. "No. I do not think that you would give up, but...I must at least have given you the chance." He picked up Aijou using his Psychic powers, shielding his Psychic energy with Light energy, and threw the Dark-type into the Light energy on the floor. The Dark-type began sinking.

[Follow me, through this new portal, if you dare, and meet your end!] The Dark-type laughed, although it didn't seem to be a true laugh. He seemed to be laughing to cover up his weakness. Mewtwo followed him through the hole created in the pool of Dark energy located in the middle of the Light energy. He found himself in a square room with a large, liquid clock face in the center.

Aijou stood on the edge of the clock face, right at the twelve. [So, you decided to come. Now, see how you will meet your end!] He moved to the side, revealing a bound Shiawaze. [If you move, I will throw Shiawaze into time itself! She will grow younger and younger, until she ceases to exist! You are helpless!]

Mewtwo didn't know what to do. If Shiawaze were thrown into the pool, he couldn't help her, because he would cease to exist far sooner than she would. There was nothing for him to do but do as Aijou said and let himself be beaten.

Aijou soared into the air at Mewtwo, holding Shiawaze. Mewtwo let himself be hit. He stayed on the ground, even though he was not hurt badly.

[Get up, clone,] Aijou demanded. [Beating you will mean nothing if you won't even stand.]

"Beating me will mean nothing if I can't fight back, either," Mewtwo said as he stood.

[Shut up!] yelled Aijou. [You have no right to speak to me like that!]

"I can speak to you however I want. You are not my master!"

[Why you!] yelled Aijou. [Now you've done it!] He threw Shiawaze.

Mewtwo used his Psychic powers to move Shiawaze out of harm's way. Why hadn't he thought of that before...? Aijou glared at him.

[You idiot, see what you've done?] he said.

"What, rescued Shiawaze?" Mewtwo asked, surprised.

[No! Every time you use your powers with my device around, you bring the device closer to exploding! If you use the powers one more time, we'll all be destroyed!]

Mewtwo looked shocked. He hadn't realized what Aijou was willing to do to defeat him...unless it wasn't Aijou's idea...

[I will no longer use Shiawaze to defeat you. I can do it myself! Now die!] Aijou yelled, as he flew at Mewtwo. The clone dodged, and the Dark-type continued flying. He didn't seem to have control of himself, as he flew straight into the face of the clock.

Time seemed to run backwards for Aijou. He was stripped of all of his Dark transformations, and grew younger and younger. Mewtwo watched, helpless to save Aijou. But, when Aijou had reached an infant stage, the clock seemed to spit him out. Mewtwo caught him, picked up Shiawaze, and teleported back to Purity Lake as Aijou's hideout exploded.

At Purity Lake, however, Mewtwo saw a face he hoped he would never see again. "Ah, Giovanni, I suppose that you have somehow learned of my existence again?"

"Yes I did. Aijou told me. I knew he would fail, but you must be exhausted from fighting him.... Why are you carrying an adult and an infant mew?"

"The infant is your friend, Aijou. He will be raised under Shiawaze's care. Shiawaze, you should take off now," Mewtwo said as he released the mew from its bonds. Shiawaze took Aijou, and flew off, to raise the child.

"Now, now, you know that as soon as I capture you, they will be no problem to find," Giovanni gloated.

"But you will not capture me!" Mewtwo said.

"Will I? I've caught your friends again. It's back into the orb for you, if you do not wish for them to be tested on."

"Fine. I will do as you say," growled the Light-type. "Don't expect that trick to work again."

Mewtwo stepped into the orb, which started forcing Dark energy into him again. He used his Light-type energy to destroy the machines creating the orb.

"Did you really think that would work on me twice?" asked Mewtwo.

"He...he stopped it! It isn't possible!" Giovanni shouted as Mewtwo hit him with a weak Light-type attack, knocking him out.

Minutes later, Mewtwo could be seen at a police station, talking to the Office Jenny of the station. "He used to be the head of Team Rocket. Now that he is in your custody, he should be no problem, and the Rocket organization should fall apart," Mewtwo explained. "If I were you, I'd lock him up and throw away the key."

Mewtwo next went to Professor Oak's laboratory. "I've decided that I should let the humans know of my existance," he explained. "Put me in the Pokedex, but don't show where I'm located. If any trainers find me, I'd be glad to defeat them."

Professor Oak was stunned. "I've heard legends of the existence of a single Pokemon whose power exceeds all others, but I never thought that he'd show up requesting to be in the Pokedex. I will do as you request."

Mewtwo made one final visit before leaving to wander the Pokemon world. He stopped at the home of Jessie and James. He thanked Meowth for all of the help he had given him, and said his good-byes to his fellow clones, who explained that Giovanni was lying when he said that he had taken Mewtwo's fellow clones. Miyamoto thanked him, and Mewtwo flew off to find his own way in the world. However, there continued to be legends that Mewtwo, the most powerful Pokemon in the world, had made friends with a young boy named Ash, and always helped him out when his help was required.
