Pokemon : The Legend Of Scyther Type: AAMRN/Action By: Neo-Raziel WARNING: This fic contains graphic descriptions of violence. It shows the darker side of Pokemon, heh, if only the series were like it! *^_^* Ahhh...bliss! Chapter 2. Ash rubbed his head, he couldn't remember what had happened the night before. He raised his head and looked around. "Oh no, I'm still in this forest..." He had come back to Viridian Forest to find Samurai and challenge him. Well he was going through Viridian forest anyway because of Brock who wanted to see his Dad. He was fast asleep in his sleeping bag. Misty was.... "Hey where's Misty?" He said to himself. "I'm over here!" She shouted. Misty was having a bath in a nearby hot spring. It seemed clean enough...and the person seemed nice who was within it...then it hit him. "Gah! I, erm, sorry, I didn't see you!" He said turning around embarrassed. "That's ok, I'm done anyway." She got out and got dressed. "So where are we going today Ashy-washy?" "We're gonna find Samurai, do you remember him?" Misty groaned, "You aren't gonna use a stupid Metapod are you?" "No not this time.." Ash mused, "..but I bet you couldn't get a Metapod like that even if you tried." "What are you saying?" "I'm saying you are a rubbish trainer!" "Say that again, I dare you!" Misty Shouted. "Oh shut up you two." Brock said ending the fight, "Breakfast is almost done." "Pika! (Yeah!)" The little rodent squeaked, "Pikapipikapikapipipika! (Do we have to hear you arguing everyday!)" "Geez Pikachu, take it easy." Ash said. "Pika...(Sorry..)" Pikachu said rubbing his head, "..pikapika. (I just feel stressed out that's all)" "Hmm...yeah. Maybe we should have a rest." "We've just had one!" Misty shouted. "Oh shut up!" Ash screamed back. "Hey!!" A voice screamed at them. They both turned around to see a weird kid in a ninja getup. Yup, it was Samurai. "It's about time you got here Ash Ketchum!" Samurai mocked, "You were such a lousy trainer when I first met you and you still are!" It sounded like a dodgy version of Gary...it touched a nerve with Ash. "Hey! Do you want a battle or not?!" Ash said clenching his fist. "C'mon! I caught a new pokemon this morning and I'm dying to try it out!" He took out a pokeball, threw it and did an evil grin. "Go SCYTHER!!" A huge Scyther, with metal armour leaped out of the ball and landed infront of Ash. This pokemon looked posessed. It looked at Ash with fearsome eyes. The weird thing was, it had hands and blades...and if you looked at it hard enough, it seemed human in it's appearance. Ash just stared at it, that was one hell of a pokemon. "Woah.." Misty said in awe. "Err...oh yeah..Charizard! Go!" Charizard came out with a blinding flash of light and stared at the Scyther. "Ok, Scyther, slash!" It stood there... "Scyther! SLASH! NOW!" Still nothing.. "DO SOMETHING!" "Wow...what a cool pokemon!" Ash sniggered, "Ok, Charizard...flamethrower!" "Char..." It growled and sat down. "Oh no, it's happenning again.." Misty said, "..they'll both go insane to try and win." "Pika pika...(You said it..)" Charizard just chose to sit down while Scyther made his blades sharper by rubbing them together. "Oh come on you useless piece of crap! Do something!" Samurai finally shouted at it. It turned around and it was face-to-face with Samurai. "Care to say that again?" It said. Everyone nearly jumped back 20 miles with it talking. What the hell was this thing? "Erm, I, erm....aha! You see well-" Samurai mumbled and raised his pokeball to call it back. No major injuries if the pokemon was back in the ball! Everyone would be safe! It was a great plan...only...the Scyther had got the ball instead of him. Or to rephrase it, the ball was in Samurai's hand and was been crushed by the Scyther. "I wouldn't try and do that.." It said bringing Samurai to his knees, "..no-one ever captures me and lives." "Hey! Leave him alone!" Ash said with a sudden act of courage. He was going to regret saying it though. He let go of Samurai and took the pokeball off him and crushed it in tiny little fragments. It turned round to face Ash. The two stared at each other. It had a penetrating gaze.. "Er, I, erm, sorry!" Ash said stupidly. "I haven't got time for you lot.." It said and ran out of the forest. "C'mon, we've got to follow it!" Brock shouted picking his backpack. They kept on running after the huge metallic Scyther. Samurai stayed where he was, he didn't want it. They kept on running and running until they got to Pewter City... "Hey..where did he go?" Misty said. "I don't know...it just looks as if he's vanished." Brock said, "Well since we're here at Pewter City. We can go and see my Dad." He wandered off while Ash looked back into the forest. He was sure that he'd seen it come by here. He was so damn sure that it came in to this clearing. "Ash..are you coming or what?" Misty shouted, it seemed along way off, "Hey! IDIOT!" Ash snapped out of his daydream, "Hey shut up!" "Well why was you looking in that forest like a gimp?" "I was so sure that Scyther came here..and.." He paused. "And what?" Misty asked. "I feel as if that Scyther is human." Misty gasped, "You felt it too?" "Yeah..whenever I looked at it, it seemed so human. The way it stood, the way it talked. The way it did everything!" "Well, let's not think about it. C'mon." They went after Brock. Ash would've loved to have had a pokemon like that..but hey, that's life. "Hey, did you hear dat?" A voice said in the bushes that sounded remarkably like Meowth's, "A rare and valuable pokemon! A scyther with metal armour!" "Ooo! I could get to like a pokemon like that." James said excitedly. "C'mon! We've got to steal it now!" Jessie said standing up. Then before they could do anything, James' mobile phone went off. "Hang on.." He said and answered it, "..hello?" His eyes went wide. "*gulp* Hello boss..heh-heh. You want us to come to headquarters? Yessir!" He switched it off and looked at the other two. "Well you heard...let's go." ------------------------- Jessie, James and Meowth stood in the huge office of Giovanni. Stood next to him was his prized Persian that Meowth was staring at with disgust and a woman with long blond hair that Jesse, James or Meowth had never seen before.. "Well, what do you have to report?" He asked. "Well, erm, we've, erm-" Jesse started to mumble. At this point, Giovanni had took a cigar out of a box on his desk and the woman lit it for him. He puffed a huge cloud of gas from it and kept on looking at James, Jesse and Meowth. It kind of added to the overall nervousness into the room. "-we've discovered a rare Scyther with metallic armour!" Meowth blurted out. They were a few mixed reactions in the room. Jesse, James and Meowth all cringed thinking that they were going to be in trouble while Giovanni did nothing and continued smoking his cigar. The woman whispered in Giovanni's ear. "Yes, go fetch Larkin." Giovanni said evilly. The woman wandered out while the trio watched Giovanni. "Err, sir?" Meowth asked. "Yes?" "Who's that?" "That is Zoe Warner..my personal assistant." "Oh..." Meowth said blinking. Zoe came back in with Larkin and he was sat in the chair in front of Giovanni. Larkin, to say the least, looked a little scared. "Now...do you remember the Scyther operation five years ago?" Giovanni said putting his hands on the table, his cigar still polluting the atmosphere. "Yessir..I completed the task of eliminating the three people who hacked into our files." Larkin said with official authority. "Then explain why these three dolts have seen a Scyther with metallic armour?!" He shouted. "Erm..." Larkin began. "Success is everything Mr. Larkin. And you have not completed the mission successfully..." "Look, I killed the Scyther and the girl. The boy dissapeared..I thought he was dead!" "It sounds like incompetence to me." Zoe said going behind Larkin's seat. "Listen, I didn't think the boy would survive without the girl and his Scyther-" "I think we have done with your services." Giovanni ended. "Wait-" Before Larkin could object, Zoe had put a knife straight in to his throat. Larkin looked at the three and made a garbled noise as blood poured on to his shirt. He fell to the ground flat on his face while Jesse, James and Meowth watched in horror. "Now, Miss Warner has shown her usefullness...Mr. Larkin has not. You three will destroy the Scyther." Giovanni said. "*gulp* Yessir!!" They all seemed to say at the sametime and ran out. Zoe stood next to Giovanni and looked down on Larkin. "Do you think they'll be able to kill it?" She asked. "Of course not, I've been wanting to get rid of those three for a long, long time.."
