Deoxys goes to attack Mewtwo but Mewtwo stops the attack and attacks Deoxys back. Our heroes run to Stephen's side and try to wake him up but can't.
"Is he alright?" Mewtwo asks.
Lucario shakes his head and starts crying with Marina, May, Rob, Rick, and all their Pokémon.
"He's dead," Rob replies.
Mewtwo viscously stares at Deoxys and Team Rocket.
"You killed Stephen!" Mewtwo shouts, "You'll pay for that!"
Mewtwo starts attacking Team Rocket as our heroes cry trying to wake Stephen up. Pikachu starts shocking Stephen as Team Rocket starts fleeing.
"What about Deoxys?" a Team Rocket member asks.
"Release it!" the leader shouts, "We have no use for it since the Johto Champion is now dead."
The member of Team Rocket releases Deoxys.
"Deoxys you were used by them!" Mewtwo shouts pointing.
Deoxys turns to Team Rocket and starts chasing and attacking them. Mewtwo lands next to Stephen at this time. Mewtwo tries bringing Stephen back along with Pikachu, Raichu, Pichu, and Lucario but can't.
"Stephen please wake up!" Marina shouts, "For me!"
Mewtwo stares down at Stephen and starts remembering back when Ash did this to stop Mewtwo and Mew from fighting. Mewtwo has a tear fall from his face.
"Just like Ash…" Mewtwo says, "Stephen thank you for everything you did for me."
Mewtwo's tear falls off his face and lands onto Stephen's face. Everyone's tears get absorb by Stephen as Stephen starts to glow.
"What's happening?" Lucario asks.
"If only tears could bring him back," Rick says.
The glowing fades from Stephen and then Stephen starts to breathe again and then coughs. Everyone smiles and hugs Stephen as Mewtwo smiles down at Stephen.
"Just what happened to Ash," Mewtwo states.
Stephen looks up and sees Mewtwo.
"Thank you Mewtwo," Stephen says.
"Anytime," Mewtwo says,
Rob and Rick help Stephen up as Pikachu jumps onto Stephen's shoulder. Pichu jumps onto Melissa's shoulder as Mewtwo starts to float in the air. Our heroes all stand up now.
"Fair well my friend," Mewtwo says.
Mewtwo flies off.
"Thank you!" our heroes shout waving bye.
The storm stops as Mewtwo vanishes into the clouds.
"The storm is over," May says.
"Must have been Mewtwo's doing," Rob says.
"What an awesome Pokémon," Jimmy states.
Our heroes head off to the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy comes out of the Pokémon Center.
"May and Marina I have good news," Nurse Joy says, "That Pokémon contest has been moved to Olivine City."
Marina and May smile.
"That's awesome!" May shouts.
Nurse Joy walks back into the Pokémon Center.
"We better be going to Olivine City," Marina says.
"Well it was great seeing you again May," our heroes say.
"We'll meet again soon," May says, "I promise."
May and Marina start heading off.
"Wait Marina Vincent and I will come!" Jimmy shouts.
Jimmy and Vincent join May and Marina off to Olivine City. Our heroes smile as they watch the group walk away. Our heroes then enter the Pokémon Center and give Nurse Joy their Pokémon. After Nurse Joy has our heroes Pokémon our heroes go to a café and order food.
"So Rick why did you come to Mount Silver with Charizard?" Rob asks.
"Well I want to see the battle between Stephen and Melissa of course," Rick replies.
"It will be such a fun challenge," Melissa says.
"Easy for me though," Stephen says with a smirk.
"I'm looking forward to this battle," Rob admits.
"It's tomorrow after lunch," Stephen announces, "I'm giving Melissa time to think of a strategy so I don't cream her fast."
"I know you already have your strategy," Rick says, "Attack and no defend."
Our heroes laugh.
"I actually think Melissa performs like a coordinator," Rob replies.
"Yea mean like May?" Melissa asks.
"Her, Marina, and Dawn," Stephen replies.
"Well I guess," Melissa says.
Our heroes get their food and faster they pay the bill and go get their Pokémon. Rob, Rick, and Stephen go to their room as Melissa goes to hers. Our heroes shower up and then head to bed for the big battle tomorrow. The next morning our heroes wake up, eat breakfast, and then leave the Pokémon Center. Soon our heroes are walking around Silver Town to see the after effect of the burnt contest hall. Melissa isn't with the heroes because of what happen back at Lake Rage and so she can take her Pokémon out to think of a strategy.
"So where will this battle be?" Lucario asks.
Stephen points to the stadium.
"In there," Stephen replies with Pikachu hanging onto his shoulder.
"The official league stadium," Rick says.
"So is this an official challenge?" Rob asks.
"Sadly it is but I don't have to worry because Melissa won't be able to beat my fire team," Stephen replies.
"Remember about being overconfident," Lucario says.
"Yeah, yeah I know," Stephen admits.
"Will this stadium be filled?" Rick asks.
"Probably but I'm hoping not," Stephen replies.
"Cuz don't worry they will all be cheering you on," Rob states.
"He is right," Lucario says, "I swear everyone loves you as Johto Champ."
Stephen blushes as our heroes stop to have lunch.
