From: "Andy Light" I do not own Pokemon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 1 Mike stood at the doors of the gym. Fingering the Poke-ball that held Zapdos, he walked towards the two stone doors. But, at the last second, he vaporized into thin air. The Pokemon Files Vridian Gym Challenge Trilogy #3 #25 The Battle Andy Light Mike materialized in one of the hallways. "Raichu. Return." He went around the corner, and a flash of light made him a Team Rocket Guard. Giovanni walked past. "Prepare Mewtwo for the battle." Mike slipped down to the place where Mewtwo sat. "Our leader would like to use you in a battle." Mike said. Mewtwo stood up, and walked to the battle arena. Mike looked at the studies on the wall. Mewtwo was the son of Mew, but he had been genetically engineered, and was evil. He destroyed the lab on Cinnabar, and fled to Team Rocket. Giovanni looked at the trainer. "One on One." His Dugtrio popped out. "Go! Charmeleon!" The trainer said. Charmeleon let out a flame, but Dugtrio dug underground. Charmeleon ran to the hole, and filled it with fire. Dugtrio popped up, burnt. "Dugtrio. Fissure." Dugtrio fell underground. The gym floor split in half, and Charmeleon fainted when rocks came spilling out of it and hit Charmeleon. The trainer smiled, as the Charmeleon disappeared. Chapter 2 "Prepare for trouble and make it double! To deflect Team Rocket's devasation! To untie all peoples within our nation! To denounce the evils of lies and hate! To help all people as of this date! Evan! Elite Pokemon Trainers, blast of at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare to fight!" "Illuseon!" "That's Right!" The others materialized in the gym. "It's time for a Pokemon battle." Lisa said. "Guards!" Giovanni yelled. Mike ran in, but transformed back into himself. "Giovanni, you cannot refuse us. Pokemon League rules state that." "All right. I will use Mewtwo. You may use any number of Pokemon, but only one at a time." The stone door opened, and Mewtwo walked out. Lisa stepped up. "I summon the legendary bird of ice, Articuno!" Articuno came out of it's Poke-ball. "Articuno! Ice Beam!" Articuno shot water out of his mouth, which froze Mewtwo. Mewtwo glowed, and the Ice brock open. "Blizzard!" Articuno swept it's wings, and ice came falling from the ceiling. Several chunks hit Mewtwo, and he fell back. "Psychic attack!" Mewtwo launched pure PSY power at Articuno, but the bird dodged. "Mist, Articuno!" Articuno flapped it's wings, and Mist rose through the stadium, covering Mewtwo. "Mist!" Mewtwo yelled, launching Mist at Articuno. "Razor Wind!" Articuno created a whirlwind, launching it at the mist. The mist got sucked into the whirlwind, and it hit Mewtwo. Chapter 3 "Hyper Beam!" Mewtwo created a intense beam, that hit Articuno, and made it faint. "Articuno! Return!" "So. I win one." Jake readied himself. "I summon the legendary bird of fire, Moltres!" Moltres came out. "Fire Spin!" Moltres blew it's wings, and flames came out. The flames formed into a tornado, which blew right to Mewtwo. "Dissipate!" Mewtwo yelled, and the fire disappeared. "Fire Blast!" Moltres let out a blast of fire, that formed the sign. It hit Mewtwo, rendering him totally burnt. "Haze!" The burns disappeared, but the damage didn't. "Psywave!" The pure PSY power launched at Moltres, but the quick bird Pokemon avoided it. "Bide!" "Flamethrower!" Moltres's attack blasted Mewtwo, and repeated it self. "More!" Another Flamethrower, a more powerful one, hit Mewtwo. "Fire Spin!" The wings blew up a tornado, which fried Mewtwo. "Meteor Wing!" Moltres blew it's wings, and two flaming meteors hit Mewtwo. Moltres fell from the sky. "Huh?" "Moltres got too tired. Another victory!" "I summon the legendary bird of thunder, Zapdos!" Zapdos came out, Thunder Shocking at will. It fired off a few rapid Thunder Bolts at Mewtwo, which damaged it some more. "PSY Beam!" A huge beam, with all the damage that Mewtwo had absorbed, smacked Zapdos right out of the sky." Giovanni stood up. "Maybe we should call it quits. Mewtwo can beat any Pokemon you send out, even that pesky Raichu. You can't beat me. I am the ultimate power!" Mewtwo turned around. "Are you?" Chapter 4 "If I provided you with the power, then I am the ultimate power." "Wrong, Giovanni, Mewtwo. We have the ultimate power." Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos flew to the ring. "We summon the legendary bird of water, Lugia!" Moltres let a out Fire Blast, Articuno a Ice Beam, and Zapdos a Thunder. The three attacks hit each other, and caused a huge water tornado. The tornado dissipated, and a large blue bird was there. "Lugia! Element Blast!" Lugia let out a blast if water that turned to a blue sphere. The sphere hit Mewtwo, and he flew out of the building, out of the city, out of the country, and off of the earth. Giovanni stood up. "I have been defeated. I cannot face my underlings now. I go in disgrace. I give you five Earth Badges." He threw the badges down. "Michael, Ashton, stand forward." Mike and Ash walked up. "You two will continue my legacy, but in good. Michael, I present you TM 28, Fissure. It will beat any Pokemon in one hit. Ashton, this gym is now yours. Go forth, my worst enemy, and my son." Mike and Ash nodded, and watched as Giovanni vanished. The five stared at the Earth Badges, and were just about to walk out, when... "All right!" A voice yelled. "Gym Leader, get ready to give me a Earth Badge!" "Slash!" The Sandslash agreed. Ash turned around. "Hey, A.J. Wanna become a gym leader?" "Uh, okay." "Then it is. It's my gym, but you can manage it. See ya." THE END
