Chapter Three: Rocket Rules
"Everything is ready, my master," said the human, bowing down to the creature sitting on the throne.
-Excellent, bring them in.- said a voice from somewhere.
"Bring them in!" cried the human, backing away from the creature. A rather large man walked in holding a chain attached to a long line of people. The first three were detached and brought before the creature.
-So we meet again, Ash, Misty, Brock,- it said, showing itself.
"How do you know us?" asked the red-haired girl.
-We met once before, but I had everyone forget about it. Here, let me remind you.-
The creature held its hand at them and a light shot from it. They remembered.
"You, you killed me?" asked Ash, slowly falling to his knees. Two of the guards lifted him back up.
"You monster!" cried Brock, trying to free his hands from the chains.
-You watch yourself, or you'll be punished by 16c.- Brock shuddered, stepping back.
"Mewtwo, how could you become evil again?" asked Misty. Mewtwo walked closer to her.
-Master Hand has promised me all the power I could imagine.- He said this without moving his lips.
"Uuuuh," muttered the girl. Mewtwo got close to her, touching her shoulders.
-You fear me?-
"Ye...yes."
-Good, punishment 1b for her. She was an accomplice to Ash, who refused to join out ranks as a PokÉlite. He destroyed some of our bases. Take her away.-
"No!" cried Misty, being grabbed by three men and dragged off.
"What have you done!" cried Brock.
-Punishment 1b is that she will become one of the slaves in the laundry room. She is also not allowed to sleep for more than two hours, and she can only eat table scraps. Now, for you, Brock, punishment 1e should be sufficient enough.-
"What is that?
-Why do I always get someone who is as sharp as a pokéball?-
"What is that suppose to mean?"
-Look, either you accept being a slave, or you accept the ultimate punishment, 17e.-
Brock shuddered again and kneeled before Mewtwo.
"Please, don't do that!"
-Take him in for 2c.-
"What's that, Boss?" asked one of Mewtwo's minions. Mewtwo gave them a vacant look and shot an energy ball at him.
-Don't you imbeciles ever read those pamphlets I give out?-
The minion that got hit fell over, stunned.
"I did, Boss!" said a skinny man, saluting the pokémon. Mewtwo stared at him.
-Very well, take him away.- Brock was dragged out of the room without any trouble.
"What about Ash, Boss?" asked the big man, dropping Ash to his knees. Mewtwo looked into Ash's soul.
-The punishment suitable for him can not be administered, so we are going to have to be a little less stingy. Punishment 16c will be carried out right now. Bring her in.-
All of Mewtwo's men looked at each other in uncertainty.
-Well?- said the creature, forming a energy ball in his hand. The men started running out of the room, pulling the other prisoners out of the room. Two of the minions stayed behind and dragged Ash to a circle, who was chained to a stake. The men then ran over to another door in the room and slowly unlocked it. Ash looked into the darkness and saw nothing. Then he saw pink.
Pikachu's ears perked up. He turned his head towards the town he just got out of. His six companions looked at him and then the town.
"What is it Pikachu?" asked the old man, bending down to check Pikachu.
"Pika," said the mouse, shaking his head.
"Pichu?" asked the similar creature by him.
"Chu..." the pokémon sighed. He thought he heard his trainer, but he was mistaken. A pink balloon, Jigglypuff, patted his shoulder.
"Jiggly?"
"Pika pi, pi, pikachu, pi..." Pikachu turned back and started on, passing the Sandslash and AJ, the Sandslash's trainer. He met them about a year after getting back from Maxwell's Planet. Oak and Pichu just three months later. Then, they met him.
Pikachu looked at the creature waiting for them in front. He was a strange creature, at that, because he was two-dimensional. Pikachu found out that he had been following Oak and Pichu and was still following. Jigglypuff found him by singing a lullaby to help put everyone to sleep. The creature fell asleep, falling on top of poor Pichu.
Pichu was just as strange. Pikachu had met a few before, but he didn't know that they hurt themselves using their special attacks.
Pikachu sighed again. He didn't really trust the black creature, but he felt a nice, warm feeling at night when they slept. The creature never seemed to be tired, ever standing and walking, tiring everyone else from the sight of him.
He heard it again, hurting his mind from thinking about Ash in pain. What was happening?
"Aaah!" cried Ash, being slapped over and over again by the pink balloon. It was another Jigglypuff. Mewtwo was sitting on his throne, watching his enemy writhe in pain.
-Do you wish she would stop slapping you?- asked the creature, smirking.
"Ye-ye-yes," struggled Ash, laying on the floor. The balloon stopped hurting him and looked at Mewtwo.
"Jig?"
-Yes, that would be most interesting.- Jigglypuff walked over to Ash. She laid her hand on top of his head. It went slightly into his skull and she glowed all over. Flames shot all over Ash, who was sent flying away from the balloon. The chain pulled him back and he hit the ground hard, smoking with agony. Jigglypuff was asleep.
-Ash, if you are still conscious, raise a finger. And please don't lie.- Ash managed to lift his finger, but dropped it within a second.
-That move is one that I perfected for Jigglypuff. It is known as rest, but it has now become Rest Surge. When ever a part of her body enter yours, she can send a surge of energy into you, literally blowing you up.-
Jigglypuff woke up and walked back over to Ash. The hero tried to look at her, but didn't have the strength. The balloon smiled and lifted his head for him. She then placed her hand to his forehead and used Rest Surge. Ash shot away from her again, his chain snapped and he went flying into the wall behind Mewtwo.
Mewtwo started to laugh at this. Ash, if he were awake, would have been angered by this cruel treatment.
-Ash, you should have joined my PokÉlite when you had the chance. You would have made a perfect general. Oh, well. Jigglypuff, finish him now. It is almost time for lunch.-
Jigglypuff smiled an evil smile, walking over to Ash. She put her arm through his back where his heart was. She prepared for her Rest Surge. Just as she was, the wall to the right of them exploded. Jigglypuff was pulled away from Ash as she did the attack. She fell asleep, falling, slowly, to the ground. Two figure emerged from the smoke and ran towards Ash. Every slave in the complex followed them, being chased by Mewtwo's minions.
-What is the meaning of this interruption?- screamed the dark creature in the minds of everyone.
-We came to stop your evil tyranny!- cried a voice from the two figures.
-So, Mew, you speak like me now? What made you change?-
-I am nothing compared to what you have done to the PokéWorld. You are going to pay.-
-Whose your friend?- Mewtwo held up his hand towards the pokémon next to Mew. The creature held up its hand in response and pushed Mewtwo back. Mew lifted its hand and brought Ash to them. Brock and Misty grabbed him and started caring for his wounds.
-So, you're the one they call Celebi, if I'm not mistaken?- said Mewtwo, holding his up again, grabbing the creature this time. Mew tried to intervene, but was pushed back into a wall. Celebi was brought before Mewtwo, squirming in his psychic grip.
-Yes, you are the legendary time traveler, Celebi. What brings you to this time? I thought you would have gone on to a different time to mess around.-
-Mewtwo, don't be such a fool!- The pokémon started to glow a bright green, sending Mewtwo back into the wall.
-Go!- cried Mew, shooing the slaves and Mewtwo's minions away by teleportation.
-Now we are going to destroy you, Mewtwo!- said Celebi holding up its hand and creating a green ball of energy.
-I don't think so!- In a blinding rage, Mewtwo shot energy blast everywhere. Jigglypuff, who was still asleep, got a full shot of it. She was sent flying out of the building. Mew and Celebi managed to dodge the hot sparks, though.
-Now we will truly see who the strongest Pokémon is, Mew, Celebi. Aaar!- Mewtwo, full of anger and hate, shot out a powerful blast at the two. They stood their ground, using their powers to try and push the ball of energy back. It was no use, because it was a trick. Mewtwo teleported behind Celebi and used confusion. She was sent whirling around and crashed right into the floor. Mewtwo laughed, raising his hand to lift the defenseless creature.
-Did you forget something?- asked Mew, shooting down to Celebi, and teleported themselves out of the way. Mewtwo tried to locate them in his mind, but something made him stop. The blast!
-Nooo!- He was hit by his own attack and was engulfed in the energy. The evil pokémon felt pain he never felt before.
Outside, Mew and Celebi had teleported about five miles from Mewtwo's stronghold.
-You okay?- asked Mew.
-I've had worse.- said Celebi, shaking its head. Confusion was a nice technique to use if the enemy was simple-minded or super-intelligent.
"Pika?" asked Pikachu, looking at the two powerful pokémon. The two had teleported right in front of the group as they were leaving.
-Pikachu, we're so glad...-
-Yes, so glad, because we...-
-We found Ash, Misty...-
-And everyone else for...-
-You, so now the revolt...-
-Can start at...-
-At anytime, so...-
-So don't go and...-
-Mess up what we have done for...-
-You and everyone.- Pikachu and his gang looked at the two with sweatdrops on their heads. The two sighed and slowly explained what happened at Mewtwo's lair, simultaneously, of course. By the time they finished, Pichu fell asleep and had a bubble coming out his nose. Mew and Celebi looked at him.
-Dream Eater?- asked Mew.
-You bet,- said Celebi, as the two held their hands over Pichu. The little pokémon woke with such a start that he ran up Oak and hid in his hair, which seemed to be growing too long.
-Well, we might as well go find the others.- said Mew, preparing to teleport everyone.
"Jiggly!" said Jigglypuff, looking at Mewtwo's stronghold. It was collapsing.
-Uh, oh, we better go check that out!- said Celebi, teleporting off.
-We'll be right back!- said Mew, before doing the same as Celebi.
"Well, at least we know Ash and the others are safe," said AJ, looking at Sandslash. "Maybe he'll get that rematch he wanted." Pikachu looked at him in concern.
"What? Look, Mewtwo has been defeated for the first time, so he is going to contemplate this experience from end-on-out, non-stop. Can't you see that?"
"AJ, don't be so ignorant. Mewtwo may be defeated, but he is still a super power. None of the humans were able to stop him. It took two other super powers to take him down, once." said Oak, managing to get Pichu out of his hair.
"You see it logically, Professor Oak, but I see it brutally. You beat a person down hard, they're not going to stand up for a long time."
"Sandslash!" cried out Sandslash.
"What?"
"Slash, sand slash slash. Sand sand slash slash sandslash!"
"What is he saying?" said AJ, looking at Oak. Oak pulled out a device he managed to make before Mewtwo took over. A translator for pokémon to human or human to pokémon communication. The pokémon language is complex, but with the help of some psychic pokémon Gary caught, he was able to do it.
"Will you repeat that?" asked okay, talking through the translator.
"That isn't necessary, Oak, they already understand you."
"This is to help get the message across better."
"Slash, sand slash slash. Sand sand slash slash sandslash." The translator beeped, then it spoke out.
"Don't be a fool, you egotistical trainer."
"What do you mean?" Sandslashed talked into the translator.
"You've gotten so stuck-up since you won one hundred victories. On top of that, you think no one can defeat you. Look around, trainer, does this look like a place where a trainer battle is necessary? We have been on the run for three years, and all you care about is being the best trainer. You little snot, stupid, egotistical trainer!"
"Sandslash, you little traitor!" said AJ, pulling out a pokéball to recall his prized pokémon. Pichu jumped up and snatched it from him.
"Give that back you rat!" Pichu glared at the trainer. He tossed the pokéball aside and jumped on top of AJ's head.
"Pichu!" he cried, calling done the powerful thunder. The trainer fell down in shock and Pichu fell down in exhaustion.
"Jiggly," snickered Jigglypuff. Pikachu stared at his similarity as Oak picked him up. Pikachu then heard something off in the distance. He tried to remember what the sound was. He looked at Jigglypuff and suddenly remembered. It sounded like Jigglypuff.
As he turned to look back at the town, he saw it coming, a flash and spark of something. It was the roll-out attack.
"Pika!" cried the mouse, jumping into a nearby tree. Oak tossed Pichu to Pikachu, who caught him and placed him in the crevice of the branches. Sandslash dragged his trainer into a bush. The black creature turned sideways, disappearing from sight. Jigglypuff was the only one left.
"Pika!" cried Pikachu, but it was no use. Jigglypuff knew who was coming, and she was going to meet her head on. the balloon started to turn around and around, starting to shoot off some sparks.
"Jiiiiiiiigglyyyyypuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu," cried the pokémon, as she started her roll-out attack. She shot forwards, towards the oncoming Jigglypuff. When they came into contact, instead of crashing head-to-head, they fizzled each others attacks. The two turned and glared at the other.
"Pi!" cried Pichu, noticing something Pikachu didn't. They were exact copies.
"What going on?" asked Oak. With the help of the translator, Pikachu explained how Master Hand had created clones of the Secret Characters. By the time he was finished, the two Jigglypuffs had gone into a full-fledged battle.
"Puff!" cried the clone, trying to slap the other. The original dodged it and sent a slap back. The clone took the hit and fell back. The original jumped at the clone and started to drill kick her. The clone pulled away, but got slapped again and again. Then, she jumped up and started to sing. The original tried to get out of the way, but she got a full blast of it. She fell asleep, allowing the clone to perform her ultimate attack.
"Puff!" cried the clone once more, sending her hand into the original. She glowed and sent the energy passing through the other. She shot out and hit the tree in front of Oak's. It came crashing down on top of both Jigglypuffs, who were asleep. Pikachu's gang watched anxiously for something to happen.
From the fallen tree, the two popped out and went at each other in the air, slapping and punching the other. This is kind of hard to imagine how hard they actually hit, because they were just like balloons. Trust me, they hit hard enough.
The original was doing better than the clone, who was already worn out from being hit at Mewtwo's stronghold. Hit after hit, the clone fell back and back. All she could do was defend herself from the original.
The original saw she had the advantage, and took it to an extreme. She had noticed a branch inside the fallen tree that was sharp. sharp enough to pop a balloon. the clone was thinking the same thing.
The clone had started to turn and head towards it, not knowing that the other, the original, knew about the spiked branch. Just as she was about to dodge the attack to bring the other into it, the original grabbed her and stuck her to the spike. The look on the clone's face was that of pain and agony. She didn't pop, but she seemed to collapse. She was dead.
Just then, Mew and Celebi teleported back with all the slaves and Mewtwo's minions, who had decided to join Ash's side. Ash was still being helped by Brock and Misty to stand. He looked at the group getting out of the tree. He didn't notice any of the others, because he was only focused on the yellow mouse running towards him.
"Pikachu!" cried Ash, getting a dose of revitalization at the sight of his long lost poképal.
"Pika!" cried Pikachu, relieved to finally have found his trainer. He ran up to him and jumped into his arms.
-So, what did we miss?- asked Celebi, looking at the dead clone.
"Not much, just a few sparks and slaps," said Oak, laughing, thinking that Mewtwo was going to be downed by the new army.
Far off, behind some trees, glowing blue eyes stared at them in anger and rage.
"Everything is ready, my master," said the human, bowing down to the creature sitting on the throne.
-Excellent, bring them in.- said a voice from somewhere.
"Bring them in!" cried the human, backing away from the creature. A rather large man walked in holding a chain attached to a long line of people. The first three were detached and brought before the creature.

"What is that?

"What is that suppose to mean?"
-Look, either you accept being a slave, or you accept the ultimate punishment, 17e.-
Brock shuddered again and kneeled before Mewtwo.
"Please, don't do that!"
-Take him in for 2c.-
"What's that, Boss?" asked one of Mewtwo's minions. Mewtwo gave them a vacant look and shot an energy ball at him.
-Don't you imbeciles ever read those pamphlets I give out?-

Just as she was about to dodge the attack to bring the other into it, the original grabbed her and stuck her to the spike. The look on the clone's face was that of pain and agony. She didn't pop, but she seemed to collapse. She was dead.
Just then, Mew and Celebi teleported back with all the slaves and Mewtwo's minions, who had decided to join Ash's side. Ash was still being helped by Brock and Misty to stand. He looked at the group getting out of the tree. He didn't notice any of the others, because he was only focused on the yellow mouse running towards him.
"Pikachu!" cried Ash, getting a dose of revitalization at the sight of his long lost poképal.
"Pika!" cried Pikachu, relieved to finally have found his trainer. He ran up to him and jumped into his arms.
-So, what did we miss?- asked Celebi, looking at the dead clone.
"Not much, just a few sparks and slaps," said Oak, laughing, thinking that Mewtwo was going to be downed by the new army.
Far off, behind some trees, glowing blue eyes stared at them in anger and rage.
