Chapter 20: A Chat

Ash relaxed on the roof of the Poke'mon Lover's headquarters; it was so strange that only a few hours ago he was at the Team Rocket Ball. Even though he felt so tired earlier, he couldn't sleep now.

He scratched at his new clothes, there were a bit baggy for his taste but it was better than sleeping in his tux.

There he looked at the stars in the sky; they were a lot brighter out here then in the city. But his train of thought was broken as he heard Mewtwo's thoughts in his. "I thought you would be asleep by now; you and your group has had a hard day."

Ash sat up. "What are you doing up here then?"

"One of the troops went to make sure your group was sleeping comfortable. Then I remembered how your father would come out here to think," Captain M2 floated towards the agent, "you are more like your father than you think; it took him awhile for this information to sink in."

Ash exhaled. "I still can't believe any of this is real; I keep thinking that I just fell asleep from exhaustion and this is all a dream."

"Well, like it or not this is all real," the Poke'mon replied, looking up in the stars, "but it is a beautiful night out tonight."

Ash nodded, lying back on the roof and gazing at the moon that was almost across the sky. The sun's rays just starting to appear. "So, what is the plan Team Rocket has?"

Mewtwo shook his head. "I'm not sure of it myself, they have kept is so classified only Giovanni and a hand full of others know. So far the technicians are looking over the data the infiltration team got and hope to have something very soon," then a silence filled the air.

But Ash broke the silence. "If you don't mind me asking; why did Team Rocket create you?"

"I can tell that question has been on you and your friends mind for sometime now," the Poke'mon replied, remembering the dark times, "They have been using Mew and clone of Mew's to power the Generator for the past two hundred and fifty years. But since each clone was degrading each time from the previous one they thought by making a whole new clone, a more powerful clone, it could last longer."

"So, you are the outcome of that experiment?"

Mewtwo nodded. "Yes, but I was made to be too powerful; strong enough not to be effected by the Generator and made my escape. Then I joined up with the Poke'mon Lovers to once and for all stop that Organization from slaughtering the Poke'mon left on this planet."

"But, even if we can do that, nearly all of the Poke'mon is extinct. Is there anyway we can repair the damage already done?"

The Poke'mon nodded, which cheered up the once energetic agent of Team Rocket. "For countless years the Poke'mon Lovers have been working on a devise that, if used correctly, will rejuvenate any of the Poke'mon DNA that was spilled on this planet."

But the energy disappeared quickly. "But there is a problem, isn't there?"

Mewtwo nodded once again. "Yes, there is. To use it to its full capability, we actually need to use the Generator itself. A necessary evil as you might call it."

"Captain!" an agent shouted in fear from the entrance, "We cracked the code on the data. You have to see this!"

Ash and Mewtwo ran inside. "What did you find out?" was the first think the Captain spoke.

"You're not going to believe this," one of the Agent's replied, "I'm bringing it on screen."

The troops looked at the screen to see a virtual display. "What am I seeing?"

"Alright; remember two months ago Team Rocket was able to catch the rare Celebi, Jurachi and Manaphy. We originally thought they were going to use them for research but this is what they are really doing to them."

The screen showed three more Generators and the display showed the three Poke'mon used as the main source of power. "They are going to repeat the actions of the past!"

"Yes Captain; they are going to be using the City Expansion plan as a cover for this one. But it's going to be worse than before," another agent replied.

"How can it be any worse?" Mewtwo asked.

The screen then showed how it would not only affect just Poke'mon, but humans as well. "If this plan works, not only will Team Rocket control the remaining Poke'mon, but the human race as well."

Every one of the Agents was completely speechless; Team Rocket will finally accomplish the goal it was first established to do nearly three centuries ago. Complete World Domination.

Mewtwo's eyes glared then announced. "Alright, we have no time to lose! I want to see a countdown on the board to the millisecond of when the Expansion Plan will commence. If we want to finally stop this Dark Organization we must prepare for our final battle against them. Both the Human and Poke'mon race hangs in the balance of our victory!"

"Yes Captain!" the troops saluted, starting the countdown and getting straight to work; because soon, a battle unlike any other before it will be brought forth onto this world.

"Captain!" another agent shouted, "Giovanni is giving a speech on the news!"

"Put it on screen!" Mewtwo ordered.

Then on the screen, Giovanni was about to give his speech to the people of Electric City; paparazzi and news stations flooded the area as he coughed into the microphone in front of him.

"Dear citizens of Electric City, I have good news and bad news to inform you," he started his speech with pride and strength in his voice, "the good news is that in one week; Project Expansion will commence where the great agents of Team Rocket will start setting up the new generators; which will make new barriers for new cities to grow so the humans can take back this planet from the Poke'mon Menace once and for all!"

Everyone cheered from this announcement; that was till he looked depressed. "But I also have some bad news since Team Rocket never wishes to hide anything from the people they protect. Last night, during a time of celebration, a small troop of Poke'mon Lovers infiltrated this great Organization to release some of the Poke'mon we use for testing purposes and in the process killed a few of our own Agents, such as 2nd in command Duplica who was coming back from a short paid vacation."

"That's a lie!" Ash yelled at the screen with pure hatred at the man, any doubts of what Captain M2 said in his mind completely disappeared.

"And not only that, five of our own Agents were even kidnapped by some the Poke'mon Lovers, used as a shield to stop our Agents from apprehending them; and because of that I must say, enough is enough!" Giovanni slammed his fist on the podium.

"I know that the Team Rocket Organization was built to stop the Poke'mon and to protect the lives of all people, both bad and good; but after these heinous acts against this city, I can no longer take a blind eye to this."

"So at this moment, I am announcing that during the Expansion Project, any and all Poke'mon Lovers will be eliminated on sight!"

Everyone gasped to hearing this as Giovanni stood firm. "I cannot stand that these Terrorist taking away the only hope for this planet to survive on their unusual ideology that the vicious Poke'mon and Humans can coexist. So I am asking for your support, the people of Electric City, to help the Team Rocket Organization anyway it can so we can finally take back this planet once and for all!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!" the people of Electric City replied with passion from the bottom of their hearts.

Giovanni nodded with a smile on his face. "That's right."
