POV Rebecca

While Mewtwo tried to evade Giratina's attacks, I tried to find a clue about my body. Suddenly Mewtwo moved to a place where my soul began to shine.

"There it is!" I said, and decided to leave Mewtwo's body.

~ No wait! Remember Suicune's warning! ~ I heard Mewtwo shout, but I ignored that. I left Mewtwo's body and flew in the direction that made my soul shine brighter and brighter. Behind me I only heard the muffled sounds of battle as I entered a cave. It got hotter in here the further I went. When I entered the end of the cave, I was faced with a huge being that was looking at me with a glowing red look.

"Sephirone ?!" I asked fearfully. I had never seen a Pokemon like this before and it looked as if it came in person from hell.

~ Rebecca. It was long ago. I knew I could lure you here. You have probably already thought that Giratina is also under my control. I thought it was the perfect opponent for your brother, as you call Mewtwo. ~ Sephirone said in a dark, eerie voice.

"An unfair opponent, with a type advantage!" I said angrily.

~ Mewtwo shouldn't be bored while we talk. ~ Said Sephiron and grinned angrily.

I clenched my fists angrily, while Sephirone's right forefoot exposed the body of myself and Mr. Goodman.

~ I blocked Mewtwo's soul transfer ability to the last because I thought it would be useful to me. And as I thought, everything went perfectly. ~, Sephirone laughed angrily: ~ And you gullible person played along with me from the beginning. Really, it was a very amusing spectacle, not least because of the imaginary feelings that I implanted in you. ~

"What do you mean?" I asked, trembling with anger.

~ It means that the love between you and Mewtwo has been a lie from the beginning until now. ~

Shocked, I sank to my knees: "That can't be ... our connection ..."

~ If you remember, your connection became strongest years after Mew left your body. You were just human again. For Mewtwo there is nothing in the world that repels him more than people, after all that it had experienced with them. It would never have got involved with you of its own free will. His hatred of people is too great for that. So I shaped it into the Mewtwo that you wanted. You should be grateful to me. ~

I didn't want to believe it. I could not believe it. Was it all just a lie? My world collapsed at that moment and I burst into tears.

POV Mewtwo

Giratina made it more than difficult for me to keep an eye on Rebecca. I was still busy dodging his attacks. I could land a hit here and there, but they probably didn't hurt any more than a needle would. I kept trying to follow Rebecca whenever I could briefly distract Giratina. Then suddenly I felt a strong pain in my chest. I saw the entrance to a cave behind me, and the pain told me Rebecca was there and needed help. So I turned away from Giratina and flew into the cave. Giratina didn't follow me, which gave me a short breath. When I reached the center of the cave I found Rebecca's soul. She wasn't as bright as before, darkness seemed to surround her and I heard her whimper. She knelt in front of a huge scary Pokemon like the one I'd seen in my vision in the river. A black Pokemon on 4 legs with black swinging and it looked like magma was going through its body. It had 2 horns on its head. I knew it had to be Sephirone.

Then I heard Sephirone say, ~ If you remember, your connection became strongest years after Mew left your body. You were just human again. For Mewtwo there is nothing in the world that repels him more than people, after all that it had experienced with them. It would never have got involved with you of its own free will. His hatred of people is too great for that. So I shaped it into the Mewtwo that you wanted. You should be grateful to me. ~

I couldn't believe what Sephirone was saying. I remembered Suicune's warning that people's souls are very fragile. Did Sephirone intend to destroy Rebecca's soul by telling her any lies? I had to stop the whole thing quickly, the darkness around Rebecca intensified more and more.

~ Don't! Stop it! Those are lies, nothing more! ~ I shouted.

~ Oh Mewtwo? I see you left your opponent behind. But unfortunately you're too late. Rebecca is already falling into the shadows. ~ Said Sephirone. I rushed to Rebecca's soul, suggested a hug and said: ~ You mustn't listen to him Rebecca. ~

"But ... It's right ... our connection got so strong after I sent Mew away. Why? You hate people. You couldn't love me as a human," said Rebecca, sobbing.

~ Mew, I may have an aversion to people. But, you know what? We both have a connection anyway. Because of what we experienced together. You showed me that not all people are the same. You will always have a place in my heart, no matter what. ~ I said.

~ It only says that because I manipulated it that way. ~ Said Sephirone.

I growled to Sephirone: ~ Shut up! Even if you manipulated me, I'm smart enough not to fall for your tricks! ~

I stormed up to Sephirone and attacked it, but the attacks were even less effective on him than on Giratina.

Could it be that it's a dark type Pokemon? I wondered, and decided to play my trump card. In the 15 years I was apart from Rebecca, she had told me about a Pokemon that was known to be the master of the aura. It was called Lucario and I wanted to learn new skills in order to be able to protect the Pokemon better. So I did an apprenticeship with Lucario and learned the attack aurasphere from him. A fighting type attack. And that's the only element that does significant damage to the Dark type Pokemon.

So I concentrated to conjure up the aura and direct it with full force against Sephiron. Sephiron just laughed angrily and briefly neglected his cover, that was my chance. I hurled a huge, blue glowing auric sphere at Sephiron that briefly fell to the ground as a result of the attack. But I knew that it wasn't that easy to defeat. I turned back to Rebecca, who was still caught in her dark thoughts. Only with her help would I have a good chance against Sephiron. But for that I had to do the mega evoloution.

~ Rebecca, please, don't let the darkness prevail! ~ I shouted desperately, hoping to reach her.
