Chapter ten! Woo-hoo! I'm on a roll!
Ash: Then Post it already!
I was going to! Sheesh!

Virtual Pokemon Insanity (Dang…needs a new title…suggestions anyone?)
Part 10: Battle Start!
Warning: (VIOLENCE) (Trying to keep it a K+ rating)
And most of the Pokemon with nicknames are based off the ones I have in the GS/RS/Colusseum/XD games. There's going to be ONE chapter in this part and the eleventh.

"Are they the ones I am to defeat, Father?"

Ash went rigid as he recognized his friend in the Team Rocket uniform.

"Mona…no…"

Mona immediately glanced straight at Ash with amber eyes. Her gaze was piercing and demonic, no recognition of her friend.

"I see…he is…" She said aloud.

"Indeed, daughter…" Giovanni replied. "I believe he requested a six-on-six Pokemon Battle."

"Hey! No way…!" Eevee snapped, leaping forwards. "Even I know my friend will abruptly turn on you! She practically cheers whenever you lose!"

A loud chuckling resounded from Mewthree. "You'd really think so, would you runt?"

"I'm not a runt!" Eevee barked angrily.

"If you weren't, why wouldn't your friend say otherwise?"

Eevee looked at Mona desperately only to receive the same emotionless expression, the amber eyes fixed on the Pokemon.

"Aren't you going to choose a Pokemon for battle, whelp?" Mona asked suddenly with a harsh tone as she looked back at the trainer.

Ash stared at the brunette with a worried look. "I don't want to fight you Mona!" A moment of silence ensued when he remembered what she called him. "…and my name's Ash!"

"Can't say the feeling is mutual…Ash." She replied before grabbing a Pokeball off her black belt and tossing it forwards. "Come out…Tyranitar…"

After the bright flash, a Tyranitar was standing on one side of the battle-field, poised and ready to attack.

"A Tyranitar…?" Misty said aloud before an idea sprouted in her head. "Ash, use Godzilla!"

Abrupt Silence…

"What…?" Ash gave Misty a confused expression.

"USE HER FERALIGATR!" Misty shouted causing Ash to scramble for the belt he had stored in his backpack and grabbed the Pokeball located there.

"GO GODZILLA! …okay that's weird…" Ash muttered as said Fraligator appeared in front of him.

Fraligator "Godzilla" looked around with a puzzled look seeing how it was standing in front of Ash instead of its usual trainer and Mona was using a Tyranitar.

"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!" Godzilla turned towards Ash. Pikachu immediately leapt towards the final evolution of Totodile and spoke up.

"Mona's under some kind of influence and she doesn't know who we are! Not even you!"

Godzilla froze and looked at Mona, before glancing at Ash, staring at Pikachu, then towards Mewthree/Giovanni, back at its trainer…

Then it understood…

"Oh, NO…" Godzilla's eye twitched.

Pikachu nodded as if to affirm Godzilla's thought.

"Do you have any control over your Pokemon, or does your rat?" Mona asked.

"She's under some sort of mind control…" Eevee said aloud to Pikachu.

"What?" Pikachu stopped the electricity from flowing from its cheeks.

"I've known her longer than any of her other Pokemon, she wouldn't harm anybody…not like this…" Eevee whimpered before leaping onto the battle-field past Tyranitar and directly in front of her trainer. "Mona, it's me! Eevee! Don't you remember?"

The Pokemon's language was confusing to the three humans. Mewtwo only watched, hopeful that Eevee would manage to break through the control.

Mona stared down at Eevee, her amber eyes suddenly widened but clamped shut and she clenched her teeth, holding her head. "Eve…Eevee…I…what's…what's going…" She seemed to understand what was going on before Mewthree's eyes glowed a bright yellow. Mona's eyes snapped open with the same color as well "…GET LOST RUNT!"

Eevee found itself knocked down by a strong kick to its side. The evolution Pokemon skidded onto the ground causing every one of her former-friends to gasp in shock. Godzilla got poised as Eevee struggled to stand.

"We've got to snap her out of it!" He roared before charging at Tyranitar and firing a strong Hydro-Pump from his mouth. The Tyranitar roared in pain before slamming next to Mona who covered her face from the debris flying from the ground.

"Oh, so you want to fight this badly!" She growled. "Tyranitar, Iron Tail!"

Tyranitar got to its feet and ran at Godzilla, its tail glowing bright white.

"Godzilla, duck it!" Ash yelled. The Fraligator ducked in time for the tail to swing over head…then come in lower for another pass.

WHAP!

Godzilla sailed backwards a couple of feet, skidded on the ground with its back, and clamped its eyes shut before opening them and seeing Tyranitar about to use another Iron Tail.

"GRAB IT!" Ash yelled, still panicking since he didn't know how strong the Fraligator was. Godzilla swiftly grabbed Tyranitar's tail and halted the attack. "Now use Seismic Toss!"

Godzilla didn't know the attack that well but it got up, bringing Tyranitar with it. Then it spun on its heels, making the Rock/Dark Pokemon dizzy…

…Fraligator was starting to feel dizzy as well before releasing Tyranitar in a direction, right into a wall which ended in a painful crash.

"I swear I just got that wall fixed..." Giovanni muttered.

Tyranitar roared in place before falling on its face, fainted, and got recalled into its ball.

"Interesting Ash, you've got a good handle on how to use that Fraligator of yours…" Mona commented with a smirk. "Not good enough I'm afraid…"

Godzilla stopped spinning in place and landed on the ground, gasping. "I'm…I'm going to be sick…"

"DON'T!" Pikachu and Mewtwo yelled at the same time, panicking.

"Don't you remember you used Godzilla in battle?" Ash yelled across the battle-field. "You were best friends with it! It was your starter Pokemon!"

"Best…starter-…STOP FILLING MY MIND WITH NONSENSE! GET BACK TO FIGHTING!" She snarled, eyes glowing yellow again before releasing another Pokemon: Raichu.

"Ash, Fraligator's not going to stand a chance against an electric type…" Brock commented. "Call it back!"

"Forget it!" Ash glanced at Brock.

"The kid's right…I have to keep fighting…I've handled several electric Pokemon before…" Godzilla responded, getting to its feet.

Eevee wheezed from the dull pain as it watched the Raichu charge straight at Godzilla. Fraligator got poised.

"Now Raichu, use THUNDER!"

"Godzilla, HYDRO PUMP!"

Godzilla reared its head back before shooting a powerful Hydro Pump directly at Raichu as the electric mouse sent electricity at the crocodile Pokemon. The electricity coursed through the water just as it connected with Raichu.

…making it a draw…

Godzilla was on the ground, struggling to stand up as electricity cackled all over it. "I've…got…to…keep…fighting…"

Raichu was also trying to stand, with barely any success. Godzilla was practically at level 80 while the Raichu was near level 40. The electric Pokemon and crocodilian starter got onto their feet, wobbling before…

…crashing onto the ground, devoid of energy…

"Godzilla!" Ash yelled. Raichu was recalled and Ash called Godzilla back into its ball. "Thank you…you did your best…"

At the opposite end of the field, Mona was struggling. Part of her desperately wanted to remember while the other part was focused on defeating the enemy. Mewthree had a strong focus on her mind, keeping her memories away and blocking out whatever was told to her by Ash or anyone else.

"This is useless! Mewthree has an iron-like grip on her mind!" Pikachu shouted.

"Eevee's trying to get her to listen…" Misty commented as she watched the Pokemon struggle to take a step forwards. "Poor thing…"

"Go, GYARADOS!"

Immediately, a huge aquatic-serpentine Pokemon appeared in front of Mona. It coiled along the ground before setting in place, ready for battle. Ash paused and tried another one of his friend's Pokemon: Ampharos.

"GO, ZIGRAT!"

Ampharos landed in front of Ash, understanding what to do since it spotted it's trainer behind Gyarados.

"Okay Goji (another nickname for Fraligator/Godzilla), we'll have to beat them all in order to help our trainer…" Zigrat muttered before looking towards Ash.

"You ready Zigrat?" Zigrat nodded and its fist crackled, showing Ash it wanted to use Thunder-Punch whenever necessary. "Alright Mona, give us your best shot!"

"I will then…Gyarados, TWISTER!"

Zigrat became tense when a miniature tornado formed around the sea-dragon and slammed into it. The Ampharos grimaced and held firm, trying to stay on its toes.

"Zigrat, THUNDER!"

Zigrat focused in the direction of the Gyarados and unleashed a strong burst of electricity. The bolts of lightning flew straight at the water/flying type which glared straight at it.

"HYPER BEAM ATTACK!" Mona yelled. Gyarados suddenly shot a multi-colored ray from its mouth that came in contact with the electrical attack. Zigrat concentrated on fighting back the strong ray with its electricity.

"Thing seems to be at level 70 already…" Zigrat gritted its small teeth and took a step forwards, the electricity gaining in power for a moment before weakening after the effort.

"Ash, get Ampharos to dodge then make it use Thunder Punch!" Brock yelled. Ash understood what the former Gym Leader meant before turning back to Zigrat.

"Dodge it and then use Thunder-Punch!" Ash shouted to Zigrat. Ampharos dove out of the way in time for the Hyper Beam to slam into the ground where it was earlier, and then it ran straight at Gyarados with its 'fist' crackling with electricity.

Gyarados roared, staggering backwards from the sneak attack and suffering paralysis.

"Gyarados, Bite Attack!" Mona yelled. Gyarados lunged straight at Zigrat who tried to hold back the snapping jaws with whatever energy it had left. As this occurred, Mewthree's control seemed to be strained.

Mona looked about eleven or twelve as she walked down route 32. She had already won against the gym leader in Violet city and was searching for new Pokemon.

"I wonder what I'm going to encounter here…" She murmured aloud before seeing a weakened lamb-like Pokemon lying on the ground. It was covered with bruises and other painful injuries.

"Got you now…" A trainer wearing all black sneered. Mona recognized him as a Team Rocket member before standing in front of him.

"What did you do to it!"

"Well…what do you know, a new kid… you want to make it out, hand me your Pokemon!"

"No way! Get your own!" She growled.

"Fine then, GO ZUBAT!"

"Go Godzilla!" Mona released a Croconaw that pounced in front. "WATER-GUN ATTACK!"

The water gun connected with Zubat before the small Pokemon careened into the Rocket at a fast rate. "OW!"

"MAREEP!" The electric pokemon got to its feet and charged up a large amount of electricity which immediately was coursing through the grunt, making him yell out before crashing onto the ground in a heap.

"Ow…"

"Nice…shot…" Mona complemented as Mareep nuzzled against her leg and its nose bumped against the side of an empty Pokeball on her belt. It vanished in a trace of red before the light dimmed. Mona glanced at the early Godzilla with a confused look as she stood in front of the unconscious Rocket Grunt and his Zubat. "Did that mean I caught it?"

"Croc…?"

Zigrat dug in its heels as it tried to hold back Gyarados before glancing at Mona who had a blank expression. Eevee finally reached her leg and pawed at it.

"Don't you remember when you first met it?" The Evolution Pokemon asked weakly. Mona's now amber eyes switched to a normal brown before warping back into a dangerous yellow. Mewthree had obviously realized his mistake before having her shove away Eevee.

"Nice try runt…" Mewthree grinned before focusing at Mona.

"No…" Mona's teeth were clenched as the sudden control snapped back in. "…Zig-HYPER BEAM!"

The same dangerous light formed in the sea-serpent's mouth before it collided straight-on with Zigrat. Zigrat desperately tried to stay conscious and ignore the sudden heat of the ray.

"Zigrat, hang in there!" Ash yelled before Zigrat went flying backwards like Godzilla and landed in a heap in front of the three trainers, covered in burns and skid-marks. "Return!"

"Gah, what's wrong with me!" Mona growled as the memory faded while she tried to remember what the sight of the battered Ampharos caused. "How can I understand what that Eevee is saying?"

"Mona, they're trying to distract you! Focus on the battle!" Giovanni shouted.

"I'll focus…once you start being quiet!" Mona glared at her father with an irritated expression before hearing Ash yell a familiar phrase: "PIKACHU THUNDERSHOCK NOW!"

"Thunder…shock…GAAH!" She gripped her head as she felt a sting go through it, obviously a suppressed memory trying to surface.

Immediately, Gyarados had reared its head back and roared in agony as massive amounts of electricity flowed through it. Being extremely vulnerable while its trainer was distracted and confused, the sea-monster continued taking the hit before collapsing onto the ground.

Ash had beaten three while Mona knocked down two.

"You know, I wasn't ready…" Mona muttered as she recalled Gyarados. "You like sneak-attacks? Then try this, ONIX!"

"Great, Pikachu is weak against ground types…" Ash muttered as the rock/ground snake loomed over the small electric mouse.

"Try to dodge this attack Ash: SANDSTORM!" The brunette shouted as Onix whipped up a ton of dust from the ground and had it circle in the battlefield. Pikachu grimaced and tried to stand up before a bunch of dirt knocked it down.

"AH!"

"Pikachu, try to get up!" Ash yelled. Pikachu tried to do so but ended up getting knocked down by another harsh wind. "Great, Pikachu can't do a thing against Onix…Pikachu, return!"

"Giving up I see…let us help you…" Mewthree flicked his wrist towards Mona.

"PIKACHU, LOOK OUT!" Eevee shouted.

"ONIX, EARTHQUAKE!"

Just as Pikachu was getting up and starting towards Ash, Onix slammed its tail on the ground, shaking the floor of the gym. The massive quake knocked Pikachu off its feet before Onix charged and slammed its tail into the mouse, throwing it directly at Ash.

Ash caught the flying mouse and went sailing backwards before he hit the wall.

"Ash!" Brock ran over to the duo and helped Ash to his feet.

"Are you hurt!" Misty asked.

"No…I'm okay…but Pikachu's worn out…" Ash explained as he handed the unconscious Pikachu to Brock. "Using Mona's Pokemon was a start but every time she starts remembering, Mewthree takes control."

"If we can beat all six of her Pokemon, Mewthree would probably have no choice but to come out." Brock muttered. "Giovanni wouldn't tolerate defeat with his ambition…"

"You're right…then…Mewtwo?" Ash looked towards the cat Pokemon.

"What is it?" Mewtwo looked towards Ash.

"You're going to be the sixth Pokemon I'm going to use…" Ash pointed out.

"Mewthree might jump into the fray if Mona loses, so you both can even each other out." Misty explained. "Like a Trump-Card."

"Ah, I see…" Mewtwo replied. "Better let me do the fighting if it comes to that…I doubt you've handled a Psychic Pokemon before…"

"Right…" Ash commented before releasing Bayleef.

"A grass type…nice comeback…" Mona muttered. "Onix, Rock Throw!"

"Dodge it!" Ash yelled. Bayleef dove to the side as Onix slammed its tail into the ground where the grass type was earlier. "Razor Leaf!"

Bayleef spun the foliage on its head in order to throw sharp leaves at the Onix. Onix recoiled from the hit and staggered back before charging forwards, attempting a Tackle Attack.

"Vine Whip the ground!" Ash commanded. Bayleef did as instructed in order to propel itself into the air, above Onix. "Now use Razor Leaf!"

Onix staggered again as the leaves collided with it.

"ONIX, use Earthquake once Bayleef lands!" Mona shouted. No sooner had Bayleef landed, Onix smashed into the ground again, creating a strong tremor. Bayleef staggered and tried to regain balance. "Now Tackle!"

Onix charged straight on at Bayleef, knocking it into the air.

"Bayleef, use Vine Whip!" Ash yelled. Bayleef sprouted vines from under the leaves around its neck and swatted at Onix with them in order to stay aloft and damage it at the same time.

"She doesn't know how to use Onix that well…that's for sure…" Brock commented. "Ash has the upper-hand here."

"Should've got my stupid father to give me a Steelix but no!" Mona thought bitterly before it switched as she tried to remember. "Why am I fighting for father anyway? He should be the one doing this…and why does it hurt when I remember something about those talking Pokemon and that boy? I understand them…but…how! Were they really my friends…?"

Her thoughts were cut off when Onix collided with the wall next to her, knocked out and unable to continue battling.

"I've got to focus…Ash and I are almost tied in this match. He's beaten four of my Pokemon while I've only gotten three…" She recalled Onix and went for another Pokemon to use against Bayleef.

"Why does this feel wrong?" Mona finally asked herself before throwing another Pokeball towards the field.

To be continued…
