Pokemon: The Legend Of Scyther - The Final Saga I think it kinda explains it's self don't you? ^^;; Oh yeah, I eliminated chapters...can't understand why I put them in anyway! As the ground parted before the mercenaries, Commander John Hearst swallowed hard. It was his first mission commanding a group of 10 men who were willing to kill to get money...he began to think that this was a very bad idea coming here. He held his gun closer to him.. "Ok men, I want you to hit those Osiris hard and fast!" He said reloading his gun. It made an impressive click. Light started to come out of the parting in the ground, instead of the hundreds of men they were expecting to come out...one girl came out. "Is this a joke?" Blaine said scratching his head, he was with the others up on a ridge looking down. The girl had very long blonde hair in pony tails and was the same height as Simon. To say the least, she was quite tall and in some odd way, very beautiful. She had red eyes that could pierce anyone's gaze. Even though her face showed that she had been through hell and back... "I am the one known as Devastation..." She boomed. Her voice echoed around the surroundings. "I don't care what the hell you are!" Hearst shouted, "ATTACK!" "No! Don't!" Brock shouted. Before everyone knew it, bullets began to fire and the mercenaries poured out into the battlefield. None of the bullets were hitting her. Hearst put his hand and told them to stop and decided he was going to take matters into his own hands. He took out his dagger and jumped into the air towards her...she raised her hand. "What the hell?!" He shouted. Everything went in slow motion, he was in the air and was unable to move. Some of the other merc's tried shooting her... "No..." She simply said and stopped the bullets in mid-air. They dropped in unison and Hearst's face suddenly filled with dread as Devastation raised an eybrow...and a little smile. "Goodbye Mr. Hearst.." "Oh shi-" ------------------------ Scytherius way up above looked at what was going on and then down at Jones' body, he smiled. He knew what he'd done...instead of making a group of people as an army, he'd decided to put the whole army into one person. A little sadistic laugh uttered from him..Misty tried to comfort Ash who was unconscious. He was still strapped up on the wall.. "Well my dear.." Scytherius said grinning, "..how do you like me now?" "I never did like you and I never will!" She yelled. Scytherius grinned, one of the things he liked about Misty was her attitude...it kinda turned him on some odd way. It also showed that he was going down the slippery slope of becoming a maniac. His armour gleamed as he turned to look back at Devastation. ------------------------ Simon had to stop, he was running out of breath. Scyther's power still burned inside him...yet he felt different. His attitude towards life had changed...he began to think that he did have reason to live now and that the only people he cared for..were Ash, Misty and Brock. He shook his head...he had to find them, so he could save them. He could feel something was wrong outside..and there was someone he really cared for.. "It can't be.." He tightened his fists. ------------------------ Lt. Surge was shaking, not shaking because he was cold, not because he was scared..he was shaking because he was terrified. He'd never seen anything like this...Hearst's body was a bloody mess on the floor, it had been turned inside out. The other mercenaries tried to think of something to do against Devastation.. "Blast it!" One of the men shouted. "We already tried that!" Another one of the men shouted. "Then I'm getting the hell outta here!" They all began to run and Devastation raised her hand. Fire leapt from the ground and started to rage towards the nine men, it was a huge torent of pain coming towards them. The flames engulfed them and Jenny looked away as the screams became unbearable. One of the men tried to get up a slope but ended with his legs getting in the flames. "STOOPPP!" Brock shouted. Devastation looked up at the young man's face and lowered her hand. All that were left were charred corpses. The man who had got his legs got in the flames fell with a crunch. His legs were charred and he fell unconscious. Devastation's eyes met with Brock's (does he have eyes? ^_^;) and she gritted her teeth. She raised her hand again.. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" The wall burst down on the observatory as Simon came through with loads of energy. Power surged throughout the field they were in, Devastation shielded her eyes, "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" "Simon?!" Jenny said. Then something weird really happened...Simon grabbed Devastation's hands... "What are you doing?!" Simon said. Devastation pushed Simon away and sent a load of energy at him causing a huge explosion in the observatory. Scytherius and Misty, who were up looking through the window in the laboratory jerked. The window smashed... "What's going on?!" Ash said suddenly waking up. "I'm not sure myself!" Misty shouted, another explosion ripped through the observatory, only this time it was more violent. Devastation had a little smile across her face and then she closed her hand and looked at it. "What..what am I doing?" Devastation said, a little tear left her eye, it turned a blue colour. Flames licked the observatory walls. She shook her head and closed her eyes, only this time, they turned back red. She scowled at Simon who had come out of the Observatory without a scratch on him, Devastation began producing energy and she was making alot of noise. Simon began to produce energy too...only he looked more impressive... "Who do we hit?!" Surge said looking from one person to the other. His Raichu was beginning to get confused. "Hit the woman!" Blaine shouted. "No! Don't!" Sabrina shouted as she opened her eyes, "That's someone who Simon cares for!" "What?!" Brock screamed. Scytherius had decided he wanted to become part of the fun so he flew through the window and he was right behind Sabrina, "Sabrina! Don't look now but-" She turned and got a face full of acid, she fell to the floor with a crunch and Brock suddenly got angry. "You BASTARD!!!" He screamed and lunged at Scytherius. With a flourish, Scytherius grabbed Brock by the neck. Brock was hanging around and was kicking and shouting abuse at him. Blaine's Magmar did a flamethrower attack on Scytherius and he shrugged it off. He also shrugged Brock as he threw him down right into the heat of the battle with Devastation and Simon. "Oh no!" Simon shouted and stopped producing energy. Devastation started to make everything go in slow-motion as Simon grabbed Brock and threw him back up to where Jenny and the others were. Scytherius decided to get in on the action and the two began firing shots at each other and electricity sparks fizzled past eachother with a tremondous shower of sparks. Explosions went off in the background. The two got up close to eachother with flying and the two began firing at eachother and Devastation watched in awe as the two fighted in mid-air. Both of them showed their hatred as they tried shooting energy at eachother. Finally, she decided to speed up the world and Scytherius and Simon landed with a thud near to eachother... "You're out of energy..." Scytherius said grinning. "So are you." Simon said smiling. Scytherius stopped grinning as Simon flipped back up onto his feet. He smiled and put up a fighting stance and beckoned Scytherius to fight him. Devastation shook her head, she was sure she knew this pokemon from somewhere. Brock was looking at Sabrina...she was dead alright. His hatred for Scytherius grew and clenched his fist. Haunter sobbed and looked at Scytherius evilly. Everyone seemed to have the same feelings for Scytherius at the moment... -------------------- Ash and Misty had gotten close to eachother in the little lab. Ash had finally been taken off the wall and blood was running down his face from where the wires were. Misty looked at what was going on and then back at Ash and dabbed his wounds with a towel. "Misty...are you ok from the brain chip an' all?" He asked. "Yeah, I'm fine, it's you I'm worried about." Misty said smiling. "I'll be fine, we've gotta stop Scytherius-" He tried to get up and yowled. "Stay down Ash! You'll hurt yourself.." Misty said. "Misty.." Ash sighed, "..can I ask a question." "Sure.." "When we first met with my bike and all, did you really mean what you said?" Ash rubbed his head, "What with saying you were my friend because I broke your bike? Because..if it was..well.." "Well I..er.." She started saying whilst blushing. "I'm babbling..sorry." He finished and tried to change the conversation, "It's just that I-" He was stopped when Misty was giving a huge kiss, everything seemed along way from them. The fighting, the war, the hatred, everything...they parted. "-love you." Ash finished. He smiled... ------------------------ Scytherius lunged towards Simon as he threw a huge punch at him. Simon ducked and began punching at Scytherius' stomach. "You insolent wretch!" Scytherius shouted and whacked Simon into the ridge. Samurai shook and almost fell down. Brock grabbed him just before he fell... "I should let you drop!" Brock said. "Hey!" Professor Oak said, "It's not his fault! I think I've got a way of stopping Scytherius!" Scytherius began punching Simon, he coughed and blood came out of his mouth once he'd stopped. "We need to get Devastation on our side! She's being controlled by Scytherius and he's having a hard time of doing it!" Oak said. Simon fell with a thud on the floor and now he was being dragged towards Devastation, "C'mon! We need someone to do it!" "I'll go.." Blaine said whilst calling his Ninetales. It purred and followed him down as they slided down the ridge. Magmar followed.. "Blaine! No! It's suicide!" Jenny shouted. "Ninetales! Magmar! Fire Blast at Scytherius!" They did so and Scytherius went carooming straight back into the Observatory. It almost totally collapsed...Ash and Misty had finally joined Brock and the others. Ash had got a bandage on his head. "So what has the baby been doin' with the prewdy lady then?" Surge teased. Jenny looked at Surge and hit him. "DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO TEASE PEOPLE?!?!" Jenny screamed. Surge smiled coyly and a sweatdrop formed on his head. Blaine looked at Simon who was in bad shape. "Talk to her boy!" Blaine shouted, "I'll keep ol' bug boy busy.." "Thanks.." Simon said getting up. Devastation was out of it, she was staring into thin air. Simon raised her chin and looked deep into her eyes, "...it is you." "I'm losing it Simon...I'm not meant to be here..just like you.." She said with tears reaming down her face, her eyes had gone back blue. "Don't talk like that Emma.." Blaine jumped out of his skin. What the hell was going on?! "..if he's brought you back to life, be thankful..cuz now you can kill him.." Simon said. Devastation began to look at her hands and was shaking...she didn't want to be part of it anymore. Her eyes began to go red again. "Emma, listen to me! He's the enemy, not us!" Simon was shouting. The mercenary who had got his legs charred to buggery, woke up...screaming. "OH MY GOD! THE PAIN!" He shouted. Simon looked at him and then looked at Surge. He sprung into action as he and his Raichu went down to the man. Tears were reaming down his face and he clutched his gun and almost broke in two. He looked quite young and Surge picked him up and managed to get up to where Jenny and the others were. A flamethrower by Ninetales exploded in the background. Jenny shook her head and managed to see him in her wheelchair. He had black hair that could be stroked nearly all day. "Who are you?" He asked sniffing, "Are you an angel? You're beautiful.." "I'm Officer Jenny..." She said, she tried not to blush or anything, it was not her job to blush..oh no! She was law enforcement officer! "...don't look down or anything..it may have a nasty effect on you." He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He knew he shouldn't have said anything like that to an officer of the police..and he shouldn't say anything sissy either! He was a mercenary of the Delta team and he was never meant to show any emotion of any type...even though what he saw was very beautiful, he was never allowed to show it. "What's your name?" Jenny asked. "Mercenary Robert Tyler." He said smiling. Brock squealed when Sabrina had suddenly regenerated and was fine. "Whoa!" Brock said. He was thankful she was ok but a little freaked out, "How-" Thats when they all stopped as Blaine and his Ninetales were thrown straight into the hill that they were standing upon. Scytherius shook off the dust that had covered him from the attacks of Blaine's Pokemon and glared at Simon. He glared back... "Let's end this while we're still young eh?" Scytherius said with a sadistic grin. "Just one thing Scytherius...or should that be Giovanni?" Simon smirked, "Let's keep Emma out of this. This will be our final battle. No interruptions...just you and me." "Why not up the stakes Simon?" Scytherius said putting his hands behind his back, he was going back into his normal business self again, "If I win, I get to keep Devastation and the rest of your friends for my own needs...and you die." "And if I win?" "I'll leave, never to return." Simon looked at Emma who was really out of it. She shook her head, she didn't want Simon to become part of this. A thunder crack way above made Scytherius and the mood go very eerie. Simon frowned. "Get everyone outta o' here." He said, to no-one in particular. "But..." Emma said shaking her head, "...what will happen to you? What if you lose?" "You run." He said as rain began to pour down on them all. Scytherius looked up as the rain ran down on his robotic body. He was going to enjoy every minute of this. Surge went down to pick up Blaine and Ninetales and told Simon to have all the luck in the world. Emma, still not really knowing where she was, went up to Simon... "You take care of yourself..." She said and walked away with Blaine. Tyler was been carried by Ash and Misty and suddenly realised Emma. "Keep her away from me!" He yelped. "Robert! It's ok! She's fine now!" Jenny said, "She's not under Scytherius' control." "Doesn't mean I can't be scared of her for what she's done." Tyler said frowning. Ash and Brock managed to pick him up and carry him away. Simon twisted his arm and stretched, his bones cracked. Then he hunched his back and it almost sounded like he broke his back with the cracking. The rain poured down his face and he closed his eyes and embraced it down his face. "You've changed..." Scytherius said moving into a fighting position. "Yeah, guess I have after all these years." Simon said giving just a little grin. "But still, you're the little pokemon trainer to me...who's scared, weak and too-loving for his own good. The little boy who can't protect anyone not even himself..." "Shut up!" Simon yelled. "You can't face the facts can you?!" Scytherius said raising his fist, "You're nothing more than a weakling to me! Nothing more! Nothing less!" With that Simon began to throw punches at him, each one he threw was blocked and then Scytherius brought up his leg and delivered a huge kick to Simon into his ribs. He flew threw the air and fell on to his back like a cockroach and struggled to get up. A blade came out of Scytherius' arm and he stuck into the ground where Simon was. He quickly moved out of the way. The blade was stuck in the floor, Scytherius couldn't get it out. Then, as if Simon was going to do a punt, he ran up to Scytherius and kicked him out of the ground with a kick to end all kicks. "The kick is up..." Simon shouted and then with a thud Scytherius fell to the floor, "...and it's GOOD!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tyler heard the thud from far away and looked behind him. He began to feel helpless what with his legs. Ash and Brock began to pant. "What the hell do you eat man?!" Brock asked, "Bricks?" Emma began to get weird, she was shaking her head and then screamed. "I gotta go back!" "No wait!" Jenny shouted after her as Emma began to run back to the clearing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scytherius had gotten hold of Simon in a choke hold. Simon couldn't breathe. He gasped and clawed at Scytherius' hand. "C'mon! Prove yourself little Pokemon trainer!" Scytherius shouted. Simon was trying to say something as he gasped for air and Scytherius smiled, "What was that?" "I'm....not......LITTLE!!" Simon shouted and glowed. He penetrated Scytherius' armour with a bolt of electricity and he went carooming out of control into the bank of the hill. He pulled himself out and looked absolutely shocked. "HOW DARE YOU!?" Scytherius shouted and roared as blood went down his chest. His blade retracted on his arm and was replaced by a huge laser cannon. Simon gulped as the laser fired a stream of pure energy towards him. He jumped out of the way and fell with a crunch as there was a huge explosion behind him. Simon glanced behind him and then recieved a punch in the face from Scytherius and then was thrown in to the wall where he'd previously been. "Simon!!" Emma screamed. Simon blinked wearily...he couldn't move... "Emma! Get outta here! GOOOOO!" Simon shouted. Scytherius looked up the hill and lo and behold, she was there. He smiled and aimed the gun towards her and fired. The stream of energy went straight towards her...Simon looked on in total terror... "OH GOD NO!!!" Ash shouted, he wasn't far away from her as the laser went straight through her torso. Then she fell off the hill and hit the floor below with a thud. That was it... "EMMMMMMAAAA!!!" Simon screamed, tears reaming down his face. Scytherius smiled and retracted the gun back and brought out his blade. Simon managed to get out and gritted his teeth. "...not again..." Simon said. "History repeats it's self in strange ways doesn't it?" Scytherius said with a smirk. Ash and Brock watched in horror at both of the warriors...they were on a thread of life...both of them. Both of them covered in their own blood. The world turned to darkness, both of the fighters as mad as eachother and just as bloody. One had to die...one had to become victorious...this was it...they both raised their blades prepared to strike and both lunged at one another. A thunderstrike hit and made an impressive flash and finally there was a crunch of metal and flesh. They were facing opposite directions... ...one had to die... ...it was time... ...and to Giovanni... ...it was supposed to be fun. Giovanni fell to the ground with a sickening thud. His body began to twitch and with a massive spark of electricity, his body exploded into thousands of tiny fragments. Simon fell to his knees and looked into the sky... "...ugh...why...is..it....snowing....?" He said, his face covered in blood. Electricity sparks that looked like snow flakes wafted in the air and he held out his hand as one touched it. It gently dissapeared and finally...he'd gotten what he wanted...he could go to the ones he wanted. He walked over to Emma clutching a wound in his stomach. He then looked up to the hill as the electronic "snow" gently went on both of Ash and Brock. He smiled as Misty came up behind Ash. The snow danced around both of them and he smiled inanely... "What's happened?" Misty asked. She looked down below to see Simon collapse next to Emma. Misty ran down to Simon and held his hand. Ash quickly followed. "Oh god...no..." Misty said crying, "...this can't be happening..." She prodded Simon and shook him. He didn't do anything. Finally accepting defeat, she began to cry on his chest and Ash came to her aid and put his arm around her. "Misty..." A voice called from far away. Everyone stopped and looked behind Misty. There, in a very faint image, was Simon as a human along with a girl. It was Emma. "Simon!" Misty said wiping her tears away and just about to hug him. "Woah! I'm not really here you know." He said holding his hand up, Misty attempted to hold it but it went straight through. "You're...a ghost." Misty said sadly. "Don't feel sad for me Misty. You've finally got what you wanted...and I've got what I want...peace." "But...you're my friend..." She said in desperation. Simon took a step forward and put his hand on her face. She smiled and tried to think it was there. "Just remember me when you see a Scyther ok?" He said smiling. The snow began to swirl as both Emma and Simon walked away. Ash held Misty's hand and they both watched as the world was once more at peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Two years had passed since what had happened near the Team Rocket Lab. Jesse and James went off together and no-one knew where they went. People often talked about them but they didn't know where they'd gone. A plane went flying past Professor Oak's lab and a laugh from a man, a woman and a Meowth were heard. Professor Oak had become a researcher in the genetics of pokemon and humans and tried to see where the link between them went. He became incredibly famous with his discoveries of the similarities between them. Tyler looked out in to Pallet Town and noticed the plane. He gave a little sly smirk and looked down at his legs. Well, he tried to imagine they were there anyway. He was sat in a wheelchair watching life go idly by. Jenny wandered out of her office and blinked at him. She'd had enough with the busy hectic life in Viridian City so she took solice in te quiet life of Pallet Town along with Tyler. They secretly enjoyed eachother's company but would never express it. "Rob?" She asked. "Yeah?" He answered not turning around. "Can I ask you a question?" "Of course..." He said straightening up. "You know when you first saw me..." She said, Tyler moved uncomfortably, "...you asked if I was an angel." Tyler turned around and looked into her eyes. She gave a little smile. "Two years...and you still remember..." Tyler groaned. "I'm a police officer, I hafta remember things. I uphold the law." "You uphold more things than that Jenny..." Tyler said smiling. "Hey, what's that s'posed to mean?" Jenny said walking towards him. "You'll hafta arrest me first and interrogate me for the answer I'm afraid." Tyler said cocking his head to one side with a little grin. Jenny made a move on him and sat on his lap stopping him from doing anything. Jenny blushed and couldn't believe what she was doing. "Well, I guess you've had a lot of training with 'interrogation', Rob, what with being a merc huh?" She said getting closer. Tyler claimed her lips as his own and she put her arms around him to tighten their relationship and make sure that he wouldn't get away. The kiss got more intense and the last thing Tyler could remember was going to bed... ------------------------------------------------ Just across the street, Ash and Misty watched the world too. Every person who'd been in the labs of Team Rocket had to try and get on with their lifes and forget what had happened. But you just couldn't forget something like that. Ash put his arm around Misty. "Two years..." She said sighing. "I know. It seems like a lifetime." Ash said hugging her closer. "Ash...did you think...well...about Simon and Emma...you know..." She stammered. "That they're happy?" Ash said dumbly. "I have no doubt that they're happy, Ash but...do you think they were a lot like us two?" Misty said looking into his brown eyes. "Maybe." Ash said smiling. "You haven't changed much in intelligence though have ya?" She said grinning. Ash tackled her on to the ground and smiled as he moved a loose hair back behind her ear. He was on top of her with a little grin and they both wanted eachother. It was as plain as the mushrooms on the back of a Paras. But what was going to be a long game of tonsil hockey turned into a little kiss as Pikachu came dashing through the door with a bottle of ketchup in his hands and Ash's mom running after it. And since Pikachu is light, it didn't hurt so much but her mom was quite heavy as she stood right on Ash's back causing him to yelp out in pain and Misty in sheer shock of the whole situation, threw him off with a lot of strength causing even more pain! He groaned as his mom came up to him. "Sorry!" Misty and his mom said. ------------------------------------------------ Brock, being the loving one that he is, went back home to his brothers and sisters with only one thing on his mind... "How could you get away from Sabrina when she said 'Come and see some time!' IDIOT!" He said to himself washing the dishes. ------------------------------------------------ Up in the quiet town of Lavender, a boy waited outside Prof. MacLean's lab. Finally, the door opened and he went in. "So you're the new pokemon trainer huh? Well, here's your new pokemon!" He said triumphantly. He passed a little green pokemon that managed to say... "Scy...ther..." THE END Hope you all liked it! Please gimme feedback on sharkey@rufford26.freeserve.co.uk Thanks and goodbye!
