Chapter 9

Mewtwo vs. Celebi

"Ha!" Celebi said to Mewtwo. "You never should've accepted this challenge. Don't you understand the danger you've put yourself in?"

Mewtwo just stared angrily at him.

"I hold powers greater than you may think. In that battle against your lovely Mew, I was holding back. Now it's time to see what my true power holds."

"You know, I'm not even going to stick around if this match means the very future of the earth!" Misty said as she grabbed all of her belongings. "Someone else can have the job! I'm leaving!" She slams the door. She then opens it back up. "Oh, and you can keep this dirty paycheck!" She then threw a wad of paper right at some guy and slammed the door again.

"Well, I might as well enjoy what's left of this!" The man said and went down to where the audience is seated.

"Hmm, no bell. Why don't you look into the matter, Mewtwo? I want to know why we aren't starting the match."

Mewtwo uses his psychic powers and concentrates on a certain area. After about a minute, he opens his eyes.

"It seems that there is no one doing their jobs."

"I guess that means we can begin right away."

Right at that point, Mewtwo charges up a black ball and fires it right at Celebi. Celebi easily dodges it.

"Ha! I didn't have to use my powers to see that one coming!" Celebi said. "Hmm. Maybe I should. Just to see what's in store for me." Celebi closes his eyes and concentrates on Mewtwo. However, no images seem to enter his mind. "What? Why can't I read into his future? He must be blocking it somehow, but how can he block powers like mine?" He asked in shock.

"Sorry Celebi!" Mewtwo said. "But I know about a Celebi's power to see into the future, and I can easily admit so much psychic energy, that I can easily block it. Sadly, it only works when I'm close enough."

Celebi growled at him. "How dare he block my power! He'll pay for that!" He thought to himself.

Mewtwo then launched a stream of stars right at Celebi, who easily dodged it. Celebi then launched a green beam right at Mewtwo. Mewtwo countered with a blue beam of his own. The attacks battled to outdo each other. An explosion soon erupted from the attacks.

Mewtwo then, from the cover of smoke, charged and punched Celebi in the face. Celebi reared back a little then charged headfirst right into Mewtwo's midsection. Mewtwo stopped himself after a few feet and stared at Celebi.

"You're strong!" Mewtwo said.

"You're strong too!" Celebi said. "Not only with your psychic powers, but physically as well." He then gave him a smirk. "This should make the battle more interesting."

Celebi then launched a black ball right at Mewtwo. Mewtwo countered with a black ball of his own. The collision of the attacks caused an explosion that effected both of them.

They both went flying in opposite directions, but soon stopped themselves.

"Okay, I think it's time I ended this!" Celebi said.

Celebi then opened his mouth, and an ear-shattering screech came from it. Mewtwo covered his ears. The sound soon stopped.

"What was that?" He asked.

Celebi gave him an evil smile. "That my friend, was Perish Song!" He said. "As I speak, the power of Perish Song is slowly draining our health. Soon, we will both fall. However, I think I have ways to make sure you fall first, and so that I stay around long enough to be declared the victor. Once I recover, I will earn the pendant, and this planet shall then cease to exist!"

Only one thought entered Mewtwo's mind. "I can't allow his plan to succeed! Not only does the world depend on it, but Mew's does too! I can't let her down! I must win! Otherwise, everyone is doomed!"
