I teleported back to the island to find…

Chloe out of her Poké Ball? Laughing maniacally with Flarey?

"What's going on?" I demanded.

They both turned to face me, their eyes glowing red.

Flarey laughed at me and said in a deeper voice, "Oh, is this one of your friends, Flarey?" He then dropped to the ground, his eyes no longer glowing, and groaned out in his normal voice, "Tenkai, help-" before whatever it was that possessed him took hold again.

I stepped back, gasping. I failed. I was gone just long enough for something to possess him. "Flarey-"

"Has seen the truth," Chloe interrupted. "And if you're wondering about Garret, he's probably off picking berries, meaning you're stuck with us!"

"Chloe, focus on the plan. I'll handle him," Flarey growled, smiling devilishly.

He tackled me, his mouth glowing, ready to spit fire. I managed to use Hypnosis and put him to sleep and get him off me, just in time to see Chloe shoot a Moonblast into the sky, causing an explosion.

"Chloe, what have you done?"

"Oh, nothing. I just destroyed an inhabited planet."

"You WHAT!?"

A blood-curdling screech cut us off as a Shadow Lugia came flying into view.

"And there's one of the inhabitants now!" Chloe giggled as the Shadow Lugia touched down between us. "Tenkai, meet XD001!"

It looked at me, then at Chloe, then turned to face me completely and let off a loud roar.

"Looks like it thinks you did it," Chloe said to me.

I turned into Jolteon and ran off as fast as I could. I came back later when it was safe. "Great," I groaned out. "All of my friends are either possessed, corrupted, or in some other way preoccupied."

"Who said they were your friends?" Chloe asked. "They only accepted you because they were afraid that you'd leave them all alone."

"Yes, they accepted me. I'm grateful for that. You were the first group in forever to accept me, rather than cast me out because I inherited my father's powers. I used to think you were my friend, until you tried to kill me."

Chloe grabbed her chest. "What- Oh, God, what have I done?" Her eyes stopped glowing.

"Chloe, are you willing to help me get our friends back?"

"Anything that I need to do to redeem myself. What do I have to do?"

"Give me your power. With enough energy, I may be able to fix the corruption."

Chloe charged up a metronome as I changed into Espeon. She fired a beam and I attempted to absorb the energy.

Flarey woke up, still possessed. "Chloe, what are you doing? What happened to the plan?"

I reflected some of the energy into Flarey. "Whatever you are, GET OUT OF MY FRIEND!"

Flarey's eyes returned to normal as he dropped to the ground. I kept absorbing the energy, finally reaching the limit…

"SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" The transformation had begun. I went bipedal. All of my fur changed to skin. A small ridge formed on my head. The ends of my tails fused as it became larger, stronger. I was Mewtwo!

I flew deep into the corruption. "All of my life, I had the feeling that I was meant for something more. This is why I've stayed alive as long as I have. My friends have helped me accept who I am, now it's my turn to help them." I discharged a massive energy blast, creating a blinding light that surrounded the entire island.

Oh, did I mention this thing was my first ever long-term RP?

Yeah, it was about here where I realized "Wait... I can make my own stuff up!"

So I did.
