Jiratwo tightly closed her eyes as the attacks were launched. Mewtwo
instantly threw all of his power into a Barrier, which he extended around
all the clones. His entire body glowed blue from the massive amounts of
energy he was using. But he doubted if it would survive a triple
onslaught. Celitwo panicked, completely. Her eyes flashed green.
Time seemed to stand still as the gangs' attacks would decide their fate. Actually, time was standing still.
{What?} asked Mewtwo, noticing the dark energy hovering about six feet from where he stood.
{Is it over yet?} asked Jiratwo, whose eyes were still tightly shut.
{Yes,} answered Mewtwo. But other than that he was preoccupied with their surroundings.
Not only had the attacks been halted. So had everything else. Giovanni stared down at them, his face contorted into a haughty laugh. Maxie looked happy at the destruction she was about to cause. Archie stared ahead, his eyes glued on his target. Their grunts had also stopped moving, all glaring evilly at their enemies.
{W-What happened?} stammered Celitwo. She looked around with wide eyes.
{What are they doing?} asked Jiratwo, who had finally opened her eyes.
{Frozen in time,} answered Mewtwo, who was still examining the situation.
{How did you do that?} asked Jiratwo, sounding impressed.
{I did nothing,} Mewtwo answered, honestly. {As far as I know, there is only one pokemon with powers over time... Celebi.} He turned his attention to Celitwo.
{D-Do you mean to say t-that I did this?!} gasped Celitwo.
{You are the only one who could,} he answered.
{B-But, I mean..I can't!} Celitwo continued to protest. {Can I?}
That question was answered in a rather unexpected way. Between the frozen humans, amid the shocked clones, a strange light began to grow. It seemed to be coming from several different sources. Mewtwo once again tensed up, expecting an attack. Jiratwo looked around in star-struck wonder.
{Now what?} asked Celitwo. Her wings had been buzzing for some time, and she seemed exceptionally jumpy.
{Something psychic,} answered Mewtwo, focusing more on the disturbance than the other clones.
Tiny figures began to emerge from the light. They weren't very tall, about a foot and a half to just under three. They were green, with tiny wings coming out of their backs. Two curly antennas popped out of each head. They flitted among the clearing, exploring.
{What are they?} asked Jiratwo, awed.
One, who appeared to take the lead flew up to Celitwo. It began to speak to her rapidly in poke-speak.
"Cellie, beeee, celi-celi. Be-beee-beee. Celi-celbi," it said. It sounded like it was reprimanding her.
{A Celebi,} answered Mewtwo, not taking his eyes off of the darting figures.
{They're cute!} exclaimed Jiratwo.
{D-Do you mean that, that these are the creatures I was created from?} asked Celitwo.
{Yes,} answered Mewtwo.
The lead Celebi turned back to Celitwo and continued his lecture.
"Ceelllbi. Celbi, celbi. Biiieee. Ceee, ciiiii. Biiiieee-ceellie," he continued. 'You cannot go around, messing with time. The results of something going wrong..I don't want to think about it.'
"Celli. Biiee?" asked another Celebi as she fluttered over. 'How was she able to do this, anyways?'
'I..I don't know,' stammered the other.
'We Celebi are the only ones, decided by nature, to have power over time. So how is it that this creature can do this?'
'I don't know!'
'Then ask her!'
The lead Celebi turned back to Celitwo. He looked her over once before resentfully asking; 'So, how did you do it?'
{I-I don't know,} replied Celitwo, who looked like she wanted to do nothing more than run away from it. She glanced around for an escape, but all she saw was curious Celebi and the frozen faces of the humans.
'How can you not know?!' he exclaimed.
'Who are you?' asked the female Celebi.
{I am C-Celitwo,} she stammered, her nerves beginning to overcome her.
'Never heard of your kind before,' replied the girl Celebi. She started to flit around Celitwo, muttering comments about her appearance like; 'Nice wings,' or 'What is that stuff coming off of your head?'
'That doesn't answer how she was able to do all of this!' protested the first Celebi.
{I know!} exclaimed Jiratwo. She looked like she wanted to do nothing more than play with the Celebi pack.
'You do?' asked the female Celebi.
{Yeah! Celitwo was made from you!} chimed Jiratwo.
{I am not sure we should tell them this,} said Mewtwo cautiously.
'Made from us?' asked Celebi. 'We are going to have to take her before the council.'
{What?} asked Celitwo, her wings vibrating faster.
'Well, we can't have time freezing all over the place now, can we,' said the second Celebi.
'Yeah, the leaders need to decide what to do with her,' agreed the first.
{You're not going to take Celitwo away from us, are you?} asked Jiratwo, showing puppy-dog eyes. (Or should we say Growlithe eyes?)
{You aren't taking her anywhere without us,} stated Mewtwo.
'Can they come?' asked the first Celebi.
'I don't know, no one has ever asked before,' replied the second. 'I don't see why not.'
'Well, we have to get going, before the council finds us,' replied the first. He turned to the clones, 'Well, let's go!'
"I'll tell the others to restore time,' said the second Celebi as she flitted off. Soon it was hard to distinguish her from the rest of her pack.
'Just, don't cause any trouble,' warned Celebi. 'Follow me.' His eyes flashed as he Teleported, taking Celitwo with him. This left Mewtwo and Jiratwo with no other choice but to follow. Mewtwo had to help Jiratwo with the Teleport.
The rest of the Celebi pack continued to dart around the clearing. Then, as one group, they used their psychic powers, restored time, and vanished.
Maxie, Archie, and Giovanni smiled evilly as their attack barbequed half of the clearing. But when the dust settled, the clones were gone.
"What the h--- happened?!" demanded Giovanni. Several other foul words could be heard form various people. But then came the unmistakable sound of weapons finding new targets.
Time seemed to stand still as the gangs' attacks would decide their fate. Actually, time was standing still.
