Lord Destroyer:You really should've seen it. Joey fought so hard for the one he loved. Marik made those attacks hurt him as much as it hurt his monsters. Marik knew he didn't have the skill to beat the huge luck that Joey had, so he used the most underhanded tatic ever to beat him. And somehow, someway, Joey withstood the power of Ra, yet he couldn't stand up after that for long. He fainted before he could launch his final attack with Gearfreed and ended up being disqualified.

Anyways, here is the next chapter. Part 3: A Near Victory For Evil.

Chapter 29

Ash and Co were shocked. They couldn't believe that Giovonni had just captured Mewtwo, who was believed to be the most powerful pokemon in existence.

While the gang was stunned Giovonni decided to take a second prize. "Now to reclaim what's mine!" He said as he took out another empty Dark Ball. "Dark Ball, Go!"

He threw the ball straight to the still unconscious Ho-oh. It hit the phoenix right on his right wing. Unprepared, and unknowing about what was going on, Ho-oh was immediately captured.

Giovonni then picked up the ball. "Now I that I have Ho-oh and Mewtwo, nothing can stop me!" He thought to himself.

"Let them go right now!" Ash yelled at Giovonni.

"Never! Since I now hold two of the most powerful pokemon in existence, nothing can stop me!"

"We'll stop you, Giovonni!"

"Ha! When you don't even have a single pokemon that can stand up to my power? No one can win!"

"I still have Pikachu!" He said as he looked at his still unconscious pokemon.

"Ha! That little rat doesn't even come close to the power that Mewtwo has! I didn't even want that little rat in the first place!"

"Then why did you have Jessie and James steal it?" Brock asked.

Giovonni let out another evil laugh, as he couldn't believe what was going on. "Oh man! I can't believe none of you have figured it out yet!"

"What?"

Giovonni continued to laugh, and stopped himself when it was hurting him. "Don't you get it? This was all a trap!" He told them at the top of his lungs.

"What?" Ash said, confused.

"From the very first day I heard about how you beat two members of Team Rocket with a tiny little Pikachu, I had a feeling you were someone special. However, I lead myself to believe that those two fools, Jessie and James were only very weak, but when you stopped that plan at the St. Anne, I knew that there was more to you than meets the eye. You were soon stopping many plans of Team Rocket. I had kidnapped two of your friends, in an attempt to lure you in! Of course, there was another reason for kidnapping May, which was to release Jirachi, but the main reason for both, was to lure you in!"

"You are sick, Giovonni!" Misty yelled.

"I get that alot. I can not allow you five to keep interfering with Team Rocket's plans anymore. So it's time I finished you all off!" He then threw out the two Dark Balls he used just a bit ago. "Go Ho-oh and Mewtwo!"

Ho-oh and Mewtwo appeared out of the Dark Balls. Their eyes showing no mind of their own.

"Now, Ho-oh, Mewtwo, take care of them once and for all!"

Mewtwo powered up a black ball while Ho-oh charged up a form of yellow energy. Mewtwo then fired the black ball and the energy from Ho-oh formed into a beam. Both attacks headed straight for Ash and Co.

Immediately, Raikou stepped in front of the attacks and put an invisible wall right in front of them. The wall easily absorbed the attacks. Suicune and Entei then stood beside Raikou, and were ready to fight.

"Get out of here!" Suicune said to them.

"What?" Ash asked.

"Go! We'll handle Giovonni!"

"Ha!" Giovonni laughed. "You don't stand a chance against one of these beings, let alone two! What makes you think you three have what it takes to win?"

"We don't care what it takes! We'll defeat you, or die trying!"

"You know, I would love to have you three as part of my collection again, but if that is what you desire, than so be it!" Giovonni said with an evil smile. "However, I have a feeling that you will be mine again! It'll just take the right moves to do so!"

Ho-oh then fired a stream of flames right at the legendary trio. Raikou immediately fired a lighting attack. Suicune fired a blue beam, and Entei fired his own stream of flames. The attacks collided and caused an explosion.

When the smoke cleared, Giovonni smiled evilly at them. "See what I mean? It takes all three of you just to cancel out one attack from Ho-oh! With this kind of power at my disposal, you don't stand a chance!"

"We'll fight you to the bitter end, Giovonni!" Entei said.

"We'll never give up!" Raikou yelled.

"You'll never win! Why bother when you don't even have a chance?" Giovonni asked them. "What's the point of continuing when you don't even have a prayer?"

"We'll never surrender to you! No matter what the odds, we will defeat you!" Suicune said.

Jirachi just looked at them. He couldn't believe the will that the legendary trio had. "They don't care what happens to them. They just want it all to end now." He then showed anger in his eyes as the thoughts continued. "I want it all to end too! I don't care anymore what happens to me! I just want to be free! Giovonni, you're going to pay for what you have done! The moment I'm free from these shackles, you are dead!" The anger inside of him kept building up. "I don't care if I die for defying you! I would rather die, than to ever be a slave to you! Max, if you can just find a way to free me from these shackles, I will take care of everything!"

"Mewtwo, use Thunderbolt!" Giovonni commanded as the match started to become more in his favor.

Several attacks had been fired. Giovonni was able to command both Ho-oh and Mewtwo to break the invisible walls with two powerful Hyper Beams. He then continued with his onslaught.

Mewtwo fired his electrical attack right at the trio. Suicune immediately got in the way of the attack, and activated her Mirror Coat. The powerful attack headed right to Ho-oh. The powerful phoenix quickly countered with a stream of flames. An explosion emitted from the collision.

The same actions repeated three more times. Suddenly, Suicune fell to the ground. Completely overpowered by the repeated Thunderbolts.

"One down, and two to go!" Giovonni said, he then gave another command. "Now, to finish you two off!" He then licked his lips, as he tasted victory. "And to think, all it will now take is one powerful attack from these two pokemon." He chuckled evilly. "Mewtwo, Ho-oh, use Earthquake!"

Both Ho-oh and Mewtwo went high into the air. They then went back down to the earth at lightning speed. The impact caused a devastating earthquake. The power of the attack shattered rocks and gravel with ease. The remaining two legendary pokemon could not stand up to the power of the attack, and easily fell over.

Giovonni smiled evilly. "Time to end this! Both of you, use Hyper Beam!" He commanded.

The two powerful pokemon at Giovonni's command attacked with yellow-like beams. Entei and Raikou could not withstand the attacks, and were easily knocked out by them.

"Now," Giovonni said as he took out three black balls. "It's time to end this!" He expanded them to full size, and was ready to throw them. "You are mine!"

He threw the three Dark Balls right towards the fainted pokemon. Time seemed to stand still as three balls headed straight for them. It seemed like it was all over.

Suddenly, from above, a small string of white silk came down and knocked away the ball in the middle. Then another being came down at lightning speed, and knocked the remaining two balls away with ease.

"What? Who stopped me?" Giovonni asked angrily.

He looked up at where the attacks came from. He couldn't believe who had stopped him from capturing the legendary pokemon. In fact, no one could believe it.
