Stories / Pokemon Gray - Chpt 32 - Doubl...
Last post by synderfin - Apr 13, 2021, 09:08 pmAs the sun rose on a peaceful day in Cerulean City, our heroes decided to continue their journey to become Pokemon Masters.
"So, who's left for me to smack?" Gray questioned, "I mean, now that I'm a 'hero of Kanto' and all, as Ta put it, I'm sure the final gym leader will be a pushover."
"I'm not sure," Tene responded, "There were only seven leaders in the battle. I'm not sure if you recall, since you typically can't remember past a week, but there was that gym in Viridian City that was closed down when we first met."
"Yeah nah, that's completely gone."
The Trio, unsure of where they should be going, decided to head back south to Viridian City, after giving their final farewells to the remaining trainers in Cerulean. They had to journey by foot with Gray complaining the whole way about why Tene wouldn't let them ride her 'big robot rocket' but she refused; this was a new journey and the past could only help when it was truly needed.
Eventually, they made it back to Viridian and the memories came pouring back in, well, not for Gray anyway as this was more than a week ago. Yob sang the Viridian City song as they entered the white streets of the settlement. After resting from their journey at the PokeCentre for a while, they investigated the gym, which still appeared to be shut, with a series of padlocks.
"My attunement to nature is speaking to me," Yob mused, "The dust on this door has been disturbed. I'm sorry poor dust. Someone has opened this door recently despite the appearance of closure."
"Well, there's only one thing for it," Gray responded before summoning his Hitmonchan and ordering it to punch the door down.
The others looked around to make sure they weren't caught for this blatant act of vandalism and breaking-and-entering. Fortunately, the police still had their concerns north and Gray's companions agreed to accompany him in to investigate.
It was dark inside the gym and there was no Slime to greet them. As they moved forward into the course, the automatic lights turned on and ahead of them were a series to spin puzzles like they had seen in the Team Rocket hideouts.
"Oh, not again..." Tene complained as Gray leapt forward and was flung uncontrollably in a random direction.
Once Gray reached the end of a series of pads and recovered from his dizziness, he was face-to-face with a confused Team Rocket grunt who scrambled to battle him, but their team was wiped out by Gray's Tauros. As the grunt ran off on a spin-pad, Gray pondered the encounter. He felt he should tell his companions but struggled to get back to them on the confusing pads. After a large effort, he finally managed to reach them at the end of the course and informed them of his encounter.
"We've had the same," Tene responded.
"This place is filled with these naughty numskulls," Yob added, "they seem to have taken refuge in this glum dwelling after the battle. The balance of good and evil is amiss."
"I don't know," Gray interjected, "Crime and gym battling go hand-in-hand. If I bothered to have an excess of gym badges, I'd totally sell them to weaker trainers on the black market for profit. A win-win."
"We should be wary going forward," cautioned Tene, "We may find ourselves battling the remainder of Team Rocket instead of a gym leader."
However, what our heroes didn't realise was that both of those things could be correct. As they entered into the battle arena, they found a bunch of beaten grunts sculking on the sides and ahead of them, on the podium, was none other than Windows, draped in a stylish black robe.
"Ah, my friends. Come to bring me in have you? Do you not see I'm in mourning garb? My super snazzalicious plan to rule Kanto has come crashing down and what am I left with? This run-down gym ...the last of my investments."
"So, you're the gym leader of Viridian City?!" Gray questioned, accompanied by the shock of his companions.
"Yes, yes. But I'm afraid my efforts to rule the world and all have left me absent of my role here as leader," Window's spoke before putting both his arms out, "Cuff me! Take me in once and for all so I may live in miserable mono-tone prison clothes for eternity."
"Oh, I don't think so," Gray responded to Window's surprise, "If you really are the gym leader of this run-down shit-shack, then I wish to battle you for my final badge. If you win, we'll let you go."
Before Yob or Tene could interrupt, Windows stood up from his sulk and agreed to the terms. Tene was sort of impressed by Gray's cunning deal-making but was concerned he wouldn't be able to defeat the leader of Team Rocket alone. Regardless, the battle was underway.
First Window's sent out Rhyhorn, which entered a charge against Gray's Tauros. The two Pokemon rammed into each other, head-on. The collision launched both of them back, a bit dazed, but they continued the fight. Eventually, Rhyhorn was able to wedge its horn into Tauros' side, causing it to yelp with pain before collapsing on the ground, unable to fight further. Gray was worried after losing his first engagement but recollected himself and sent out Dugtrio. The mole Pokemon was quickly able to dispose of Rhyhorn with a super-effective Magnitude 8, restoring Gray's spirits. However, Windows sent out his own Dugtrio and the two burrowed underground at the same time. All was silent on the battlefield as the two Pokemon fought below the arena before, eventually, Window's Dugtrio surfaced victorious.
Gray's Hitmonchan was also unsuccessful. It tried to punch its opponent but Dugtrio was too fast and danced around the confused fighter, popping out of the ground behind it to attack before it was knocked out. Gray's Ponyta has more success, despite the type disadvantage, as it launched a Flamethrower into Dugtrio's tunnel, cooking it in the ground below. However, Window's responded with a Nidoqueen that was able to KO Ponya with a single Earthquake.
Gray was down to two Pokemon and sent out his Butterfree, which was successfully able to get a Sleep Powder on the Nidoqueen before pelting it with Silver Wind. As it awoke, it hit Butterfree with a harsh Poison Sting but Butterfree was able to repeat the process until its' opponent fainted. Window's Nidoking was next and Buttterfree tried the same strategy but missed the Sleep Powder and was hit with another Poison Sting, causing it to fall out of the sky, unconscious.
Gray was crestfallen. He knew Windows had at least two more Pokemon, while he only had one. He sent out his final team member, his partner Blastoise.
Before Blastoise could react, it was hit with an Earthquake from Nidoking, sending it off balance and crashing onto the ground.
Tene called from the side, "Gray! Use your mega stone!"
"Oh yeah, I completely forgot I was given that."
"That was literally yesterday..."
Gray connected to the soul of his partner and it was able to Mega Evolve. Windows was shocked as his Nidoking was launched into the back wall with a single Hydro Pump. As it recovered, it tried to use another Earthquake but was hit with a heavy Rapid Spin from the now bulkier Blastoise, knocking it out. Windows responded with his final Pokemon; Rhyhorn.
Gray recognised the Pokemon from the battle at SilphCo. He had beaten it then with his regular Blastoise and was ready to do it again. However, as he was fantasising his victory speech in his head, Blastoise got hit with a Mega Horn in the chest, sending it back onto its shell. Gray ordered it to get up and use Hydro Canon. It launched the blast of water but missed and was too fatigued to move. Rhyhorn slammed into it again, sending it flying into the side wall. A bunch of grunts ran to avoid getting hit. Rhyhorn moved to charge again but this time Blastoise was ready and caught it with a Hydro Pump as it advanced. Rhyhorn struggled to stay on its feet as it was soaked with water. Blastoise then grabbed Rhyhorn by its shoulders and launched it across the battlefield. Before it could recover, Blastoise used another Hydro Canon, this time landing and leaving a watery crater in the middle of the battlefield and Rhyhorn unconscious at the centre.
Mega Blastoise proved its extreme power, defeating the Team Rocket boss for the final time.
Windows awarded Gray the Earth Badge before monologing, "You know, dear friends, this battle has reminded me of the beauty of being a Pokemon trainer once again."
"Really?" Gray asked.
"No, not really. But it was a good timewaster while I waited for Mr. Fluffypoo's pedicure to finish. Anyway, I best be off. Don't want to leave my darling waiting at the parlour, he'll get grumpy with me. Team Rocket may be done-for, but I have other commitments. It's been snazzy, it's been jazzy. But I best be off. Farewell, my dearest of opponents."
Before Gray could grab him, he threw a smoke bomb on the ground.
"Ah ha! And like that I disappear in a puff of smoke! Fools! Tehehe!"
The smoke cleared too soon, and Gray could see Windows tip-toeing to the back door with the grunts. He sighed and order Blastoise to use Hydro Pump. However, Gray underestimated Blastoise's power and as the attack hit, it launched Windows and his companions up through the roof and into the sky.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" *ping*
"Oops. Ahh, we'll get him next time."
Tene interjected, "What about our badges..."
As a fun easter egg, for every Kanto gym I decided to slide in at least one reference to something annoying players used to do in gym challenges. This one was exploiting the system by selling badges to noobs for profit ...which people actually did. See if you can catch all the references in the previous chapters.
"So, who's left for me to smack?" Gray questioned, "I mean, now that I'm a 'hero of Kanto' and all, as Ta put it, I'm sure the final gym leader will be a pushover."

Stories / Pokemon Gray - Chpt 31 - The B...
Last post by synderfin - Apr 07, 2021, 03:17 am"Arcanine look out!"
A Psychic blast sent the sheriff's Arcanine flying back, almost hitting its trainer, and crashing into the side of a building, unconscious. The police, Resistance and trainers had done what they could to try to contain Mewtwo over the preceding hours, but their efforts were in vain as it continued to crush their attempts. The already weakened Resistance were no longer able to muster enough firepower to keep the legendary in check and the police lines were being broken. Officers Doom and Snowbro tried to return their fainted leads but were picked up with psychic energy and thrown down the street; Mewtwo did not discriminate between people and Pokemon. Leader Ichi tried to use his own Starmie's psychic power to resist Mewtwo but it was overwhelmed, and they met the same fate.
As explosions went off around the city, the Trio and Tactic fought side-by-side with their full teams out. Gray's Blastoise, Butterfree, Dugtrio, Tauros, Hitmonchan and Ponyta all sent elemental attacks into the air, attempting to hit Mewtwo as it flew around wreaking havoc. The same could be said for Yob's Venasaur, Parasect, Clefable, Blissey, Dunsparse and Yanma, who managed to evolve into Yanmega through the tribulations of the fight for their lives, alongside Tene's Kabuto which evolved into Kabutops, battling next to her Umbreon, Hypno, Gengar and Ariados.
"Tene, I may not have mentioned this before, but seeing as we really need all the help we can get..." Gray started, "I know you have another Pokeball on your belt. I remember seeing it since Viridian, and that time in the Power Plant ...you used it to save us."
"Not unless it gets bad enough," Tene responded before muttering to herself, "I can do this without help."
Their teams battled on through the frenzy but one by one they began to be knocked out by stray psychic blasts from Mewtwo. The Pokemon Centre began to be engulfed in flames, while houses collapsed around it.
"Uh, Zombie. Anytime now would be great. Maybe stop polishing your stones and gimme my op poke-steroid," Gray shouted back to the lines.
"I'm coming! The bracelet had to be fitted properly. You need this second stone to be able to connect with your partner," Zombie responded before approaching Gray and giving him both mega stones.
Gray put the bracelet on his wrist and went to give the Blastoisinite to his starter, but it suddenly got hit by a psychic blast, knocking it back into a wall, with rubble collapsing around it.
"Blastoise, No!" Gray screamed before running to his partner, "Oh, no no. Hang in there buddy."
Despite the rough hit, Blastoise was able to open his eyes. He saw the worry but determination in his trainer and managed to struggle to his feet, "Stoise!"
"Yes buddy, you're awesome! Let's kick some creepy, psychic cat butt!"
The mega stones shone in unison and Blastoise began to Mega Evolve, taking on a newer, more powerful form. With the giant canon protruding from its back, Blastoise let off a powerful Hydro Canon that shot far into the air. It just missed Mewtwo but exploded right next to it; the blast flinging it back through the air. Nothing else so far had come close to injuring the legendary but once Mewtwo recovered, it turned its gaze towards Blastoise, fury in its eyes. Everyone looked up in terror as Mewtwo began to advance towards them.
"Charizard use Fire Blast!" Ta called as he intercepted Mewtwo's decent. The attack caught Mewtwo off guard and singed the legendary, but it responded with Psychic, grabbing Charizard and flinging it off course across the city. Mewtwo began to advance again, sending an Aura Sphere at its target. Blastoise used Hydro Pump to counter the move. The two attacks met each other mid-air but the Aura Sphere managed to continue its advance through the water and hit Blastoise with a resisted shot. Regardless, it was enough to bring Blastoise to the ground, defenceless. The other Pokemon attempted to use their moves to hit Mewtwo but it dodged and used a Psychic to sweep them all away. Mewtwo then began to charge another Aura Sphere before launching it towards Blastoise. In a unique instance of selflessness, Gray jumped in front of Blastoise, his arms out to take the attack. For all his perceived greatness, he knew he owed it at least somewhat to his Pokemon companions. Yob and Tene ran to try and move Gray but ended up in the line of fire themselves. Just as the attack was about to hit, it was intercepted from the south and exploded before impact. The Trio turned to see an ancient looking, flying Pokemon make landfall next to Professor 1cec0ld. To his right stood Griffin and the other fossil scientists, along with fossil maniac Parmamen and his Omastar. To his left were Prof. Assistant Prodigy and Gray's mother Miosio, with her Mr. Mime.
"It is the second coming! The 1cec0ld!!" Yob yelped, while taking a lick from his unconscious Parasect.
"Nice shot Aerodactyl," 1ce called to his Pokemon, "Now let's save the region."
Alongside the group, many other trainers joined them at the south of the city. The call had gone out and Kanto had responded. Trainers from all corners of the region had arrived. Llamawin with her Jolteon, Gal and Mega with their Hitmons, ImStillDead with his Tangela, Coltranepop with his Charmeleon, Equinox with his Snorlax, Dj with his Hitmonlee, LED with his Klink and Ishmaliel with his Chansey, along with all the Nrs_joys and Teh_royal_slimes and anyone else forgotten in this super long story. A loud series of engines could be heard as a Biker Gang rode up beside the group. LuckyLucario rode behind his new leader; the lost 5-year-old daughter of ImStillDead, Erika. They rang their horns with triumph.
At the head of the army stood the rest of the Gym Leaders; Tcanton, Pricey, Supernoise, Jeffro and Victini, all with their aces out. By their sides, in the lead, approached former Champion Stng, with his Beedrill, and both Paradox and Glados, the once friends of Windows. All of a sudden, a Meowth balloon made landfall near the Trio.
"We may be crime goons but sometimes you gotta do right by everyone," Pythonier exclaimed.
Sweaty added, "Let's see; a brief interval to do some good? I concur, let's fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!"
Triumph filled the lines of trainers as their spirits were renewed. Zombie sent out his Dusknoir, while Ta and Synder recovered to fight again. The Trio and Tactic also recovered, and determination filled their hearts. Altogether, everyone, all commanded their Pokemon to fire their attacks at Mewtwo. The legendary attempted to block the collective onslaught with its psychic powers but it was overwhelmed and came crashing down to the surface from the attack.
Everything was quiet. Dust filled the air as Tactic glided forward on his Charizard to inspect the crater where Mewtwo had landed.
"I can't see anyth..."
He was cut off as a psychic blast shot him and his partner up into the air. Mewtwo blasted out of the crater, an aura of dark, psychic energy surrounded it. Filled with pure fury, it let loose on the city once more. The trainers tried to fight but their Pokemon started getting taken out with more powerful psychic attacks than before. Zombie had a look of distraught acceptance on his face, before summoning a Honchcrow and flying away from the battlefield. B_Rad looked on with shame, as he continued to fight alongside his Golem, willing to go to the end to protect his home.
Supernoise ordered his Vileplume to send a flurry of Razor Leaves into the air, which Jeffro's Alakazam took control of with Psychic and flung towards Mewtwo. At the same time, Tcanton's Onix launched a Rock Throw, which Pricey's Raichu shattered into smaller pieces with Thundershock and Victini's Arcanine set ablaze to launch a flurry of scorching pellets into the sky, but Mewtwo managed to dodge both deadly attacks.
"It's too fast. We need to go up there and engage it," Ta instructed to Tactic who had recovered back beside him and the Trio.
"I'll race you to it!"
Together, both Ta and Tactic soured up on their Charizard. They flew around the legendary, dodging its psychic attacks, while sending off Flamethrowers in unison. Gray supported them from the ground, commanding his Mega Blastoise to launch Hydro Canons into the air around Mewtwo. The blasts knocked the legendary off balance, allowing the others to catch it with a combined Flamethrower attack. Mewtwo recovered and kept up the fight, all the while dodging attacks from the ground.
"It's not enough," Tene mused to herself, "Heh, I thought I could come here and start completely from scratch. Nothing from my former life to help me. I guess sometimes you do need a little help."
She turned to Gray, who was commanding his Blastoise alongside Yob and his Venasaur, "Gray! You wanted to know what my sixth Pokemon was. Well, when I left Unova I was excited to do it; to start anew. But just in-case things got too bad, in those moments like at the Power Plant ...and I really think this qualifies... I brought one of my old teammates with me."
Tene stepped forward, ahead of her wide-eyed companions, and released the 6th pokeball from her belt. The ball glowed with white light and released the Pokemon within. As the light cleared, the large body towered over the Trio. It was unlike any Pokemon Gray or Yob had ever seen, with broad shoulders and the body structure of an automaton.
"Golurk!" Tene called, "I'm going to have to ask you to save us again."
The giant let off an uncanny, mechanical screech, as Tene climbed onto its back.
"That's cool and all Tene but I hope it can turn into a canon or something because they're getting smashed up there," Gray called out.
"Better."
All of a sudden, Golurk placed its weight on its hands and retracted its legs. With a blast of red, fire erupted from its waists, where its legs once were, and the automaton shot into the air. Gray and Yob stood in shock.
"And I let her ride my Blastoise everywhere..."
Tene and Golurk flew up to Ta and Tactic, who were still battling Mewtwo.
"You're full of surprises," Tactic mused.
"I don't know what that is, but we can use all the help we can get," Ta added.
"Right."
The three all flew around, engaging Mewtwo with attacks, while Blastoise continued its artillery fire from below. As Mewtwo blocked Flamethrowers with each of its hands, Golurk launched a super-effective shadow ball into Mewtwo's chest, propelling it back. Just as it reoriented itself, it was hit with a Dark Pulse from Blastoise below, almost knocking it out of the air. But Mewtwo recovered yet again, panting with exhaustion. After blocking another barrage from the trainers below, it used Psychic to grab Ta's Charizard and flung it into Tactic's. The two went flying off below. Golurk soured forward and launched a Shadow Punch into Mewtwo's face, catapulting it back. Yet before Tene could follow up, Mewtwo recovered and administered a Psybeam right back at the flying automaton, blasting it back and causing Tene to fall off. As she fell, she was caught by Team Rocket in their balloon, who returned her to her mount.
Tene watched on with distraught as Mewtwo, while exhausted, continued to deflect attacks from the ground, decimating the Pokemon of the once triumphant army. Jeffro ordered his Alakazam to jump in front of an injured and helpless DJ to try and resist an oncoming Psybeam but they were overwhelmed. The two former rivals helped each other limp to retreat. The dream of peace began to seem more and more just that, a distant and foolish dream.
"Howdy!" a call could be heard from below; Zombie had returned and beside him floated a small, pink Pokemon. Mewtwo immediately stopped its onslaught as the pink Pokemon flew up to it.
"What was that?" Yob questioned Zombie.
"When I saw we had no hope of overpowering it, I flew to the Faraway Island, where we first found its predecessor ...Mew, alive after all these millennia. I thought this a hopeless endeavour, especially after the cruel samples we had done to it before ...but, but it approached me as friendly as ever ...as if greeting an old friend. It agreed to come help, despite everything humanity had done to it."
Mew and Mewtwo flew side-by-side, diametric counterparts. Mewtwo looked on with contemplative curiosity, as if remembering itself for the first time. The aura surrounding it quelled and it reached out its arm. Mew looked on with friendly openness. However, as all seemed cordial, Mewtwo retracted its arm and anger started to fill its eyes again. Mew was shocked as Mewtwo's rage returned. It went to strike Mew but before it could do anything it was blasted out of the sky by a Hydro Canon, sending it crashing down into the earth.
"Boom! Didn't see that coming ya pink murder cat!" Gray yelled with triumph.
Trainers quickly ran to the crater, not wanting to have a repeat of last time. Tene arrived first and as Mewtwo began to recover she was about to order her Golurk to attack, however, Mew floated down from above and stayed the hand of Golurk. It let off a cute chuckle before using Hypnosis on Mewtwo. The already exhausted Pokemon struggled to stay awake before collapsing back down, in a deep slumber.
***
Peace had been achieved. All the tired trainers congratulated their brave partners while the Nrs_joys sought to healing them. Mewtwo was returned to Cerulean Cave, with the entrance sealed off to prevent such a disaster from ever happening again. Windows was seen fleeing to the South but was not caught, nor were much of the Team Rocket leadership who fled in the confusion. Sweaty, Pythonier and Meowth were allowed a head start by Synder for their help in the battle.
Slowly, everyone began to pitch in to help clean up the city and this time, the Trio stuck around to offer their assistance, all the while reuniting with everyone. Gray tried to chat with his mother, but she just kept making references to how great Prof. 1ce's experiments had been with not-so-subtle inuendoes, Yob compared his vegan poffin-cooking progress with Supernoise and Tene spoke privately with Stng, who was finally able to recognise her.
The rebuild of the city would be long but together they would do it. Soon they would be able to continue their journey, with Kanto saved to sustain the next generation of trainers to do the same.
A Psychic blast sent the sheriff's Arcanine flying back, almost hitting its trainer, and crashing into the side of a building, unconscious. The police, Resistance and trainers had done what they could to try to contain Mewtwo over the preceding hours, but their efforts were in vain as it continued to crush their attempts. The already weakened Resistance were no longer able to muster enough firepower to keep the legendary in check and the police lines were being broken. Officers Doom and Snowbro tried to return their fainted leads but were picked up with psychic energy and thrown down the street; Mewtwo did not discriminate between people and Pokemon. Leader Ichi tried to use his own Starmie's psychic power to resist Mewtwo but it was overwhelmed, and they met the same fate.
As explosions went off around the city, the Trio and Tactic fought side-by-side with their full teams out. Gray's Blastoise, Butterfree, Dugtrio, Tauros, Hitmonchan and Ponyta all sent elemental attacks into the air, attempting to hit Mewtwo as it flew around wreaking havoc. The same could be said for Yob's Venasaur, Parasect, Clefable, Blissey, Dunsparse and Yanma, who managed to evolve into Yanmega through the tribulations of the fight for their lives, alongside Tene's Kabuto which evolved into Kabutops, battling next to her Umbreon, Hypno, Gengar and Ariados.
"Tene, I may not have mentioned this before, but seeing as we really need all the help we can get..." Gray started, "I know you have another Pokeball on your belt. I remember seeing it since Viridian, and that time in the Power Plant ...you used it to save us."
"Not unless it gets bad enough," Tene responded before muttering to herself, "I can do this without help."
Their teams battled on through the frenzy but one by one they began to be knocked out by stray psychic blasts from Mewtwo. The Pokemon Centre began to be engulfed in flames, while houses collapsed around it.
"Uh, Zombie. Anytime now would be great. Maybe stop polishing your stones and gimme my op poke-steroid," Gray shouted back to the lines.
"I'm coming! The bracelet had to be fitted properly. You need this second stone to be able to connect with your partner," Zombie responded before approaching Gray and giving him both mega stones.
Gray put the bracelet on his wrist and went to give the Blastoisinite to his starter, but it suddenly got hit by a psychic blast, knocking it back into a wall, with rubble collapsing around it.
"Blastoise, No!" Gray screamed before running to his partner, "Oh, no no. Hang in there buddy."
Despite the rough hit, Blastoise was able to open his eyes. He saw the worry but determination in his trainer and managed to struggle to his feet, "Stoise!"
"Yes buddy, you're awesome! Let's kick some creepy, psychic cat butt!"
The mega stones shone in unison and Blastoise began to Mega Evolve, taking on a newer, more powerful form. With the giant canon protruding from its back, Blastoise let off a powerful Hydro Canon that shot far into the air. It just missed Mewtwo but exploded right next to it; the blast flinging it back through the air. Nothing else so far had come close to injuring the legendary but once Mewtwo recovered, it turned its gaze towards Blastoise, fury in its eyes. Everyone looked up in terror as Mewtwo began to advance towards them.
"Charizard use Fire Blast!" Ta called as he intercepted Mewtwo's decent. The attack caught Mewtwo off guard and singed the legendary, but it responded with Psychic, grabbing Charizard and flinging it off course across the city. Mewtwo began to advance again, sending an Aura Sphere at its target. Blastoise used Hydro Pump to counter the move. The two attacks met each other mid-air but the Aura Sphere managed to continue its advance through the water and hit Blastoise with a resisted shot. Regardless, it was enough to bring Blastoise to the ground, defenceless. The other Pokemon attempted to use their moves to hit Mewtwo but it dodged and used a Psychic to sweep them all away. Mewtwo then began to charge another Aura Sphere before launching it towards Blastoise. In a unique instance of selflessness, Gray jumped in front of Blastoise, his arms out to take the attack. For all his perceived greatness, he knew he owed it at least somewhat to his Pokemon companions. Yob and Tene ran to try and move Gray but ended up in the line of fire themselves. Just as the attack was about to hit, it was intercepted from the south and exploded before impact. The Trio turned to see an ancient looking, flying Pokemon make landfall next to Professor 1cec0ld. To his right stood Griffin and the other fossil scientists, along with fossil maniac Parmamen and his Omastar. To his left were Prof. Assistant Prodigy and Gray's mother Miosio, with her Mr. Mime.
"It is the second coming! The 1cec0ld!!" Yob yelped, while taking a lick from his unconscious Parasect.
"Nice shot Aerodactyl," 1ce called to his Pokemon, "Now let's save the region."
Alongside the group, many other trainers joined them at the south of the city. The call had gone out and Kanto had responded. Trainers from all corners of the region had arrived. Llamawin with her Jolteon, Gal and Mega with their Hitmons, ImStillDead with his Tangela, Coltranepop with his Charmeleon, Equinox with his Snorlax, Dj with his Hitmonlee, LED with his Klink and Ishmaliel with his Chansey, along with all the Nrs_joys and Teh_royal_slimes and anyone else forgotten in this super long story. A loud series of engines could be heard as a Biker Gang rode up beside the group. LuckyLucario rode behind his new leader; the lost 5-year-old daughter of ImStillDead, Erika. They rang their horns with triumph.
At the head of the army stood the rest of the Gym Leaders; Tcanton, Pricey, Supernoise, Jeffro and Victini, all with their aces out. By their sides, in the lead, approached former Champion Stng, with his Beedrill, and both Paradox and Glados, the once friends of Windows. All of a sudden, a Meowth balloon made landfall near the Trio.
"We may be crime goons but sometimes you gotta do right by everyone," Pythonier exclaimed.
Sweaty added, "Let's see; a brief interval to do some good? I concur, let's fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!"
Triumph filled the lines of trainers as their spirits were renewed. Zombie sent out his Dusknoir, while Ta and Synder recovered to fight again. The Trio and Tactic also recovered, and determination filled their hearts. Altogether, everyone, all commanded their Pokemon to fire their attacks at Mewtwo. The legendary attempted to block the collective onslaught with its psychic powers but it was overwhelmed and came crashing down to the surface from the attack.
Everything was quiet. Dust filled the air as Tactic glided forward on his Charizard to inspect the crater where Mewtwo had landed.
"I can't see anyth..."
He was cut off as a psychic blast shot him and his partner up into the air. Mewtwo blasted out of the crater, an aura of dark, psychic energy surrounded it. Filled with pure fury, it let loose on the city once more. The trainers tried to fight but their Pokemon started getting taken out with more powerful psychic attacks than before. Zombie had a look of distraught acceptance on his face, before summoning a Honchcrow and flying away from the battlefield. B_Rad looked on with shame, as he continued to fight alongside his Golem, willing to go to the end to protect his home.
Supernoise ordered his Vileplume to send a flurry of Razor Leaves into the air, which Jeffro's Alakazam took control of with Psychic and flung towards Mewtwo. At the same time, Tcanton's Onix launched a Rock Throw, which Pricey's Raichu shattered into smaller pieces with Thundershock and Victini's Arcanine set ablaze to launch a flurry of scorching pellets into the sky, but Mewtwo managed to dodge both deadly attacks.
"It's too fast. We need to go up there and engage it," Ta instructed to Tactic who had recovered back beside him and the Trio.
"I'll race you to it!"
Together, both Ta and Tactic soured up on their Charizard. They flew around the legendary, dodging its psychic attacks, while sending off Flamethrowers in unison. Gray supported them from the ground, commanding his Mega Blastoise to launch Hydro Canons into the air around Mewtwo. The blasts knocked the legendary off balance, allowing the others to catch it with a combined Flamethrower attack. Mewtwo recovered and kept up the fight, all the while dodging attacks from the ground.
"It's not enough," Tene mused to herself, "Heh, I thought I could come here and start completely from scratch. Nothing from my former life to help me. I guess sometimes you do need a little help."
She turned to Gray, who was commanding his Blastoise alongside Yob and his Venasaur, "Gray! You wanted to know what my sixth Pokemon was. Well, when I left Unova I was excited to do it; to start anew. But just in-case things got too bad, in those moments like at the Power Plant ...and I really think this qualifies... I brought one of my old teammates with me."
Tene stepped forward, ahead of her wide-eyed companions, and released the 6th pokeball from her belt. The ball glowed with white light and released the Pokemon within. As the light cleared, the large body towered over the Trio. It was unlike any Pokemon Gray or Yob had ever seen, with broad shoulders and the body structure of an automaton.
"Golurk!" Tene called, "I'm going to have to ask you to save us again."
The giant let off an uncanny, mechanical screech, as Tene climbed onto its back.
"That's cool and all Tene but I hope it can turn into a canon or something because they're getting smashed up there," Gray called out.
"Better."
All of a sudden, Golurk placed its weight on its hands and retracted its legs. With a blast of red, fire erupted from its waists, where its legs once were, and the automaton shot into the air. Gray and Yob stood in shock.
"And I let her ride my Blastoise everywhere..."
Tene and Golurk flew up to Ta and Tactic, who were still battling Mewtwo.
"You're full of surprises," Tactic mused.
"I don't know what that is, but we can use all the help we can get," Ta added.
"Right."
The three all flew around, engaging Mewtwo with attacks, while Blastoise continued its artillery fire from below. As Mewtwo blocked Flamethrowers with each of its hands, Golurk launched a super-effective shadow ball into Mewtwo's chest, propelling it back. Just as it reoriented itself, it was hit with a Dark Pulse from Blastoise below, almost knocking it out of the air. But Mewtwo recovered yet again, panting with exhaustion. After blocking another barrage from the trainers below, it used Psychic to grab Ta's Charizard and flung it into Tactic's. The two went flying off below. Golurk soured forward and launched a Shadow Punch into Mewtwo's face, catapulting it back. Yet before Tene could follow up, Mewtwo recovered and administered a Psybeam right back at the flying automaton, blasting it back and causing Tene to fall off. As she fell, she was caught by Team Rocket in their balloon, who returned her to her mount.
Tene watched on with distraught as Mewtwo, while exhausted, continued to deflect attacks from the ground, decimating the Pokemon of the once triumphant army. Jeffro ordered his Alakazam to jump in front of an injured and helpless DJ to try and resist an oncoming Psybeam but they were overwhelmed. The two former rivals helped each other limp to retreat. The dream of peace began to seem more and more just that, a distant and foolish dream.
"Howdy!" a call could be heard from below; Zombie had returned and beside him floated a small, pink Pokemon. Mewtwo immediately stopped its onslaught as the pink Pokemon flew up to it.
"What was that?" Yob questioned Zombie.
"When I saw we had no hope of overpowering it, I flew to the Faraway Island, where we first found its predecessor ...Mew, alive after all these millennia. I thought this a hopeless endeavour, especially after the cruel samples we had done to it before ...but, but it approached me as friendly as ever ...as if greeting an old friend. It agreed to come help, despite everything humanity had done to it."
Mew and Mewtwo flew side-by-side, diametric counterparts. Mewtwo looked on with contemplative curiosity, as if remembering itself for the first time.

Stories / Pokemon Gray - Chpt 30 - The B...
Last post by synderfin - Apr 05, 2021, 09:34 pmIt took a while for the Resistance to prepare its' pursuit, but they were underway with the Trio as soon as possible. The scouts identified the Persian zeppelin was on route to Cerulean City. A flock of flying type Pokemon caried the trainers towards their destination.
"Make landfall at the west entrance to the city," Ta ordered to the souring fleet.
As they made landfall, they were met by the Pewter Police officers who were setting up a barricade around the city limits and evacuating the inhabitants.
"It's good to see you," Synder exclaimed.
"Sorry we're late. We were hit by them before they got here. The base has been decimated," Ta responded.
"What's going on here?" Gray interjected, his companions in toe.
"They started bombing the city, so we had to evacuate everyone," Synder responded, "There are a few grunts we're having to fight with Gym Leader Ichikunji but most of the leadership seem to have gone into Cerulean Cave for some reason."
As he spoke, a cloaked figure ran over to the them. It was Zombiedood and he seemed to be in a panic.
"I came as soon as I heard they were in Cerulean. We need to talk."
"No 'howdy'?" Gray questioned.
"There's no time for endearing pleasantries. Team Rocket are about to unleash something they have no hope to control," he paused for a moment, regaining his breath, "Long ago, I was involved in genetic research at Cinnabar Mansion for SilphCo. My team were examining the DNA of an ancient Pokemon called Mew, with the hope of cloning its' power ...but we got further."
"Further?" questioned Tene.
"Yes. We were able to 'enhance' our creation to create something new. Something far more powerful ...and ferocious. 'Mewtwo' we coined it. Windows found out about our research and was keen to fund it properly but when I discovered what I created; I hid it away in Cerulean Cave. I tried to hide my treachery by helping him further in constructing his crime syndicate, but he must have discovered my secret, hidden deep away. You cannot let him release Mewtwo! It cannot be stopped or controlled and will roll over this region with its confused fury."
"I really hate exposition," Gray interjected.
The others all looked shocked at Zombie, unsure how to proceed. Ichi came to join the group, Tactic at his side.
"Hey guys," Tactic proclaimed, "I got here as soon as I heard the attack, but it turns out to have not been much trouble. The grunts we were battling have retreated to the airship. There were some in this Meowth balloon that were no trouble at all."
"It appears we may be in far deeper doo-doo than we thought," Yob responded.
Before anyone could give orders, an explosion was heard at the mouth of the cave. On a flying hoverboard, Windows came zooming out into the air, in glamorous style.
"Hear me and rejoice!" he exclaimed, using some sort of device to amplify his voice, "The Kanto region is about to be under new management. Super snazzy management. Get glitter bombed fools!"
Glitter erupted from the bottom of the zeppelin, showering the town in sparkles.
"Bam! 'How are you going to become the new and snazzalicious leader of Kanto dear mob boss Windows?', you may well ask. Well! After extensive surveying, I have uncovered the location of the most powerful Pokemon in the world and it shall be my minion in bringing about a brighter and more fashionable future for Kanto, and maybe the world... Tee-hee."
"Ya know, I'm not sure I mind this new world order," Yob commented with glares from everyone.
"See now as my admins Xander and Cassey bring forth this pure being!" Windows exclaimed before there was silence and anticipation. Nothing came from the cave and he quickly went to call his admins on his walky-talky, "What's going on? You're cramping my style. ...what do you mean you failed to apprehend it? You have the strongest firepower in the reg..."
Windows shuddered with fear and shock as he was cut off by a loud quake. All of a sudden, a Rhydon was blasted out of the cave entrance and flew right past Window's hovercraft.
"Oh no..." Zombie muttered.
As he spoke, a human-sized, pink figure flew out of the cave entrance at rapid speed and up into the sky above the city.
"No matter. I didn't hijack that bland SilphCo. building for nothing," Windows said as he pulled a Masterball from his pocket and threw it towards the enraged figure. The Pokemon stopped the ball in mid-air with its psychic powers, before crushing it into dust, to Window's dismay and terror. It then hovered by Windows for a moment before taking control of his craft with psychic energy and flinging it off into the distance. Windows was barely able to stabilise it before he crash-landed in the river. Mewtwo then turned its anger towards the zeppelin, launching a sphere of psychic energy into the balloon that was enough the bring the airship down, crashing into the cave side in a giant fireball. Everyone had a look of sheer terror on their face as they watched the destruction.
"Loo... Look for survivors," Synder muttered to his surrounding officers.
Mewtwo flew up higher into the air and started letting off psychic blasts in all directions, causing massive explosions around the city. The Resistance and police ordered their lead Pokemon to attack. A flurry of elemental blasts shot towards Mewtwo but it used its psychic powers to block the attacks and sent them flying back, decimating the attackers. Synder called a retreat to further back behind the city lines. Everyone made haste to cover as Mewtwo continued its rampage around the city, except Ta. The Kanto Champion recognised his responsibility and climbed onto the back of his Charizard, souring up to meet their opponent. Ta ordered his ace to use Flamethrower. As the blast of fire shot towards Mewtwo, it simply put its hand up and blocked the attack with a shield of energy. It had to strain somewhat at the onslaught of the Champion's strongest Pokemon, but it was not enough to overwhelm the legendary, who sent a powerful Psybeam straight back. Ta's Charizard was able to dodge the attack and went for another Flamethrower, however, this time Mewtwo dodged as well and used Psychic to grab a hold of Charizard's wings mid-flight. The Pokemon groaned with confusion before being flung down to earth. Once it regained control, it quickly huddled around its trainer to protect it from impact. They smashed into the ground with a loud thud. Charizard was unconscious and Ta returned his brave partner before quickly making his way over to the new battle lines.
"Its' fury is endless..." Zombie murmured with regret, "It was born without compassion... or any love growing up. Just confusion, then darkness. We cannot negotiate with it ...or defeat it in battle."
"We must try," Tactic exclaimed.
"Yeah, as much as I kinda want to run and hide right now, we probably should do something about this," Gray added, "and when I say run, I was meaning a heroic run, in the other direction. It's just Johto is looking nice this time of year, you know..."
Tene interjected, "Zombie, if it's a Pokemon, then we can defeat it in battle."
"Even if it takes all of us, together," spoke Ta with trembling optimism, B_rad confident at his side.
"Yes. But it will take all of us," Synder added, "I'm putting out the call to all trainers in the region to come help. Kanto, our home, is in danger and it's the responsibility of all us of us to protect it."
"Okay, but if we're going to try this, we'll need a little advantage," Zombie spoke, "Believe me Gray, I don't choose you out of confidence in your ability, like really, but you're the only one to whom this applies right now."
"Uh, thanks?"
Zombie unbuttoned the travel case he had with him. Inside was a collection of notes and a mysterious stone.
"This is the Blastoisinite. I would hope you have a Blastoise by now and, well, this stone will allow it to mega evolve. After leaving Team Rocket, I turned my research to the study of this new form of evolution. This, and I cannot repeat how regrettable this is, is the only stone I have on my person right now. Actually, does anyone else happen to have Blastoise by chance?"
Before one of the Resistance trainers could raise their hand, Gray leapt forward and snatched the stone.
"Woot! I'm going to be the baddest baddass in all of Kanto!"
Synder interjected, "Okay, the signal is out. Let's see who will come to our aid. In the meantime, we need to contain Mewtwo's onslaught to the city interior."
"You have my trainers," Ta interjected.
"And you have my team," Tactic added.
"And mine," spoke Ichi.
"And you have us," Tene spoke with Yob by her side and Gray jumping around in the background, pretending to punch the air with enthusiasm.
Synder nodded, with agreement from all the trainers present. They healed up their Pokemon and got ready to fight. The battle for Kanto had just begun and it would take everyone united together if they had any hope of victory.
"Make landfall at the west entrance to the city," Ta ordered to the souring fleet.
As they made landfall, they were met by the Pewter Police officers who were setting up a barricade around the city limits and evacuating the inhabitants.

Synder interjected, "Okay, the signal is out. Let's see who will come to our aid. In the meantime, we need to contain Mewtwo's onslaught to the city interior."
"You have my trainers," Ta interjected.
"And you have my team," Tactic added.
"And mine," spoke Ichi.
"And you have us," Tene spoke with Yob by her side and Gray jumping around in the background, pretending to punch the air with enthusiasm.
Synder nodded, with agreement from all the trainers present. They healed up their Pokemon and got ready to fight. The battle for Kanto had just begun and it would take everyone united together if they had any hope of victory.
