Do Mews make good fighters? Discalimer- The Shadow Gang do not belong to me. They belong to Chrissie Chimeria. Pokemon do not belong to me I wish they did but they don't. The S.A.S don't belong to me either. Practically nothing does. At least the character is mine, but she is in a Pokemon body so she doesn't really belong to me. Walking across the training field Roger looked at the new army recruits. Some of them looked Ok but the majority of them didn't look strong enough. "Well did you see anyone you might want to recruit?" Roger sighed. "No Phillip, none of these have the calibre I need." Roger had been the leader of the A.T.A.S for five years. To be an officer in the regiment you had to be at the peak of your physical fitness and to be anywhere close to be leader you had to be the master of at least ten martial arts, and master of most weapons. He had fifteen black belts personally and could master almost every type of gun. As they refused to take on any kind of staff the A.T.A.S. couldn't be a separate organisation and had to exist within the Army but all members got special privileges. As they were considered an elite team the Government only used them on special occasions. It was only by luck they happened to be near Viridian as normally they wouldn't be called for simple tasks like this. Roger turned to his friend beside him. Both of them had grown up in Goldenrod and had joined the army at the same time. While Roger was recruited into the A.T.A.S Phillip had done great things in the normal army. Phillip was more of a strategist than a fighter and this was why Roger had been picked over him. He was now a General and in charge of twenty thousand men, but most of these were in Johto fighting Guerrilla fighters. Only five thousand of his army was in the camp outside Fushia. Here also were five hundred of Rogers men. Phillip led Roger up to room inside an office building. The men in here running from room to room trying to get ready for the battle. They were all clerks and Quarter Masters, who were trying to get ammo and food for their men. It was chaos. In the quiet of the room Roger asked when the would strike at the Shadow Gang. "We have a spy and he has told us where their base is situated. How long more do we have to wait until we can attack?" "Just five more days. We need more ammo and supplies." Four days had passed since the Darken leader had defeated Sharpe's prise Pokemon. The Shadow gangs base was buzzing with excitement. Susan could feel it, people were running about and machinery was being moved about. Susan had woken three days previously. As soon as she was properly awake Misty was questioning her, chiefly about her apparent in-desire to change back into her proper form. Susan tried to let her down easily but she couldn't really seem to make emotions form. To Misty she knew she sounded distant and cool but she was not very happy about the Darken. Confrontations were bound to occur she knew, and so far she had kept out of their way but this was only because she was weak. Now she was at full strength at last. She flexed her mussels. Her new power even amazed her. She had been at full strength against Mewtwo but now she seemed even more powerful than she was then. she asked Blue. Pink had taken a huge like to Misty and loved to be around her. In many ways she was different from her sisters. She was a normal Mew who was like a baby in many respects. She had intelligence but didn't like to use it. Susan and Blue had felt her desires to explore, to eat and to play with the other Pokemon. Try as they might neither of her sisters could convince her that they were evil. At the present moment she was up in a corner high above the room. Since their leader had last talked to them none of the other Darken had spoken or came close to Misty or her, but she had seen some of their glances at her. As she had kept her power down none of them had sensed her. She often appeared of her hiding place to get some food from the supplies the guards left down. Already she noticed that she didn't seem to have a big appetite and she had developed a likening to milk and a distaste for almost of all of the human foods. Some had looked about curiously trying to see where she was. Once they noticed Misty hadn't got her they were always on the look out. Now that she was at full power they would be allowed to drain her, if she gave them the chance. She looked around her. The Darken ,minus their leader were fighting in the training room. Misty was talking to her and the other Pokemon in the containers. Susan was curious about the Professor and the Darken leader. Dropping to the floor she padded along the floor. Though she was getting used to it, walking on four legs still felt a little unnatural to her after all the years on two. There was the lack of height, and that everything looked different from the floor. She was also a lot stronger than she used to be. To walk normally she had to concentrate on pushing her power and strength down. Susan suddenly bent close to the ground. She sniffed the ground. She followed the smell round the lab. Beside one of the computers was a small hidden door. No one would notice it normally. As she padded towards it she saw that its was open by a crack. Squeezing up to the crack she applied her ear. A conversation seemed to be taking place between the Doctor and the Darken leader. His voice was slightly deeper and she had also noticed that he looked different. "I don't know what happened. The other three were standing in front of me. Seconds before the beam hit us they seemed to turn into black energy balls and ran into me. Then I turned into this. That's exactly what happened." "I can't understand it. This shouldn't have happened. Three of mine creations are now dead." "Can't you create more of us?" There was a pause in which Susan strained to hear over the bleeping of the computer beside her. She heard a small short laugh before the Doctor continued. "No, I cannot explain it now but no, you and the other eight are unique. You cannot be recreated. To another subject, are you looking forward to your fight against Mewtwo?" "Yes, I've been getting bored. Four full days without a fight." You have only been in four fights before." "But there was only a two day interval between most of them. I was only fully created nine days ago." "But you were born ten years ago. All that time developing you didn't seem to mind not fighting." "I didn't know what fighting was like then. I don't think Mewtwo will last long against the nine of us. We have a type advantage against him and we defeated the Mew quite easily." "He also defeated her, on his own" "Well we will see how powerful he is tomorrow. But back to what you were saying about the Mew. Where did she come from?" "I honestly don't know. I think the Shadow gang had a spy in Team Rocket but he was mystified about it as well. He was talking about a human who could turn into Pokemon, but she seemed to have disappeared. Maybe she was killed." "I don't know about her but I am interested in the Mew. She seems to have a large power. But where is she? What protection are you taking against her escaping." "The machine she was in that you destroyed was designed to give her power until she was at an eighth of her full power. But she has left the human you left her with three days ago. I fear she may be fully healed. I am also afraid of her." "What?" "She is unlike a normal Mew. Mews are peaceful and playful. She seems to have an intelligence that is unlike a normal Mews. A normal Mew would not hide from us, and would probably stay with the human." "I have seen her a couple of times but she makes sure to keep out of our way. She is probably scared of us." "I don't …" He was interrupted by a loud shout behind Susan. "Look what we have here." Susan wiped round to see a Darken within three feet of her. Three of his friends were beside him. All four were grinning maliciously at her. She was slightly annoyed about not hearing them but she blamed it on the computer noises and her carelessness in listening too hard to the conservation. The door opened behind her and the Darken leader and Dr. Mhuy stared at her. Her body tensed slightly as she realised she was surrounded, but she relaxed again. She knew she would have to fight at some point. "Its looks like she was spying on you leader." "Can you speak cat?" The leader was glaring down at her. She stared right back into his eyes but hers were calm and a dark green. She answered him slowly showing him that she wasn't at all scared by him. "Yes I can understand what you say." "You can speak?" one of the other Darkens muttered. Her tail was already swinging from side to side when she turned to him. As he looked into her eyes he say like his leader the utter confidence and calm of her eyes. They were on of the few ways to gauging a Mews expression. "You seem very intelligent." His face broke into a growl. "I am smarter than you." "I seriously doubt it. If you were you would know that if you challenge me you will be seriously hurt." He started to laugh and his three comrades joined in. But the Darken leader stayed silent. He was trying to guess how powerful she was. He could see the mussels on her front arms seemed to be bigger but as she was keeping her power hidden he could tell. He had found that since he had grown or evolved or whatever, he could sense Pokemon's powers. He knew that he was about twice as powerful as the other Darken but he had never fought since so he didn't know how much further it could go. "Do you wish to fight to me?" The Darken said still laughing. "Only if none of your friends join you. If you want to fight me you have to on your own." The Darkens mouth moved into a greedy smile. This would mean he would be the only one draining her. All that power to himself. "Yes I agree." The Darken leader's ears pricked. The last time she had fought one of them on their own she had destroyed it. But he then remembered that they were still realising their power then. After his battle with Sharpe's Pokemon he saw how much they could power up and all the new moves they knew. "You two can battle in the arena in the training room." "Ok" Susan turned her back towards them and stalked off towards the training room. As the Darken turned to follow her the leader stopped the competitor. "Remember to power up fully before starting to battle." "But why? She is obviously so weak she was scared to do anything but hide." "Trust me. Don't underestimate her. We did so last time and two of our number were defeated. Be careful." "Ok" As the four went off the alert the other Darken Dr. Mhuy turned to the leader. "Do you think he will win. I don't know, if her power is similar to what it was last time he will win." The two made their way to the battle arena. The training room was large and spacious with many weights and other machines the Darkens trained on. The battle arena was in the middle of the room. It was raised four feet off the ground and was very similar to a Pokemon ring. In one square Susan stood on all four feet swishing her tail. Opposite to her was the Darken. All around the ring were the other Darkens. Their leader and Dr. Mhuy were standing on a raised platform so that they could look down on the battlefield. Misty was at the side of the room away from everyone else but also watching. Dr. Mhuy blew his whistle, signifying the start of the battle. The Darken walked slowly over to Susan side of the field. "Fool he hasn't powered up. But neither has she." Susan was also moving toward him but at a slightly slower pace. She stopped when they were within striking distance of each other. There was a pause for about a minute while both sides considered each other. Suddenly the Darken lunged at her swiping with both arms. He swiped at nothing but air. Two paws smashed into his back hitting him into the ground. Instantly he was back on his feet. He eyed her more seriously this time. She must have had some speed to get behind him so quickly. He leaped at her again. She blocked both his arms and kicked him back away from her. "Come on I want to fight you at full power. No fooling around. You are not good enough to get that respect." He growled at her as his red eyes shortened. A light black aura appeared round him as he went up to full strength. It thickened until there was a definite aura around him. "She doesn't have a chance now. He took out a level 76 Alakasm with that power" Before she got the chance to comment he darted forward. Swiftly head-butting her in the chest he knocked her backwards. Jumping up into the air he fired two black blasts down at her. She managed to roll out of the way and the blasts hit the ground creating two craters. He dropped back to the ground facing her. Susan stared at him both paws raising in front of her ready to defend herself. She had decided to get back on two feet as that was a better fighting stance. He was more powerful than he had last been and that aura was worrying. She wished her sensory powers were better. She had only had a vague sense of his power and she had no idea wither he was more powerful than her or not. He ran forward again toward her and she followed. As they met he raised his arm to deliver a crushing blow but she managed to leap to the side of this striking out with one of her short legs. He blocked this with the side of his hand and slashed again. This time she ducking underneath it and swiped with her own claws. From her last experience she knew it was better to be on the attack. As both began swipe and claw at each other their speed increased. Susan and the Darken were both hitting at each other but neither were hit. Both broke away from each other before closing in again. She leaped up into the air and focusing her physic power. While meditating she had come up with some new moves to try. While when she normally moved Susan, or Green, was in control but when she started to fight both her and Blue controlled the body. Pink was still asleep. As quick as she could she flew downwards towards him bouncing off the ground just before coming in contact with him. The whole process took seconds and it was becoming increasingly difficult for the human eyes to follow their movements. As she turned in the air to face him he turned quicker and slashed at her. She just managed to block this before landing on the ground. Before she could get a proper stance he was all over her striking again and again. Trying to block and move backwards she couldn't attack him. He raised his paw to deliver another blow and she raised both arms together to block. But instead of attacking his paws started to glow a dark black colour. Before she could react he flung the black blast at her. At such a close range Susan wasn't able to move out of the way and was forced to try and defend. The small black ball drove into her out stretched paws driving them back. Then she was flung back as he began to shoot blast after blast at her. She managed to hit some out the way with her paws and tail but it took too long to do this and she was getting bogged down. One flew past her tail and hit her chest throwing her to the ground. Others hit into the ground raising dust clouds. Black explosions were also seen through the smoke. After a minute of firing he stopped and waited for the dust to clear. But when it did so he could see no trace of her. A disappointed expression crossed his face. It was still there when a paw smacked into his face sending him flying. He landed on his back and before he could get up she was on him again. He tried to stop her onslaught but she was above him and her tail and nails sought revenge. Blood was dripping from his arms and face. But she was forced to get back as he pushed his aura up around him. Both sides were now considering each other carefully. Susan had little injuries from his previous attack. She had just managed to teleport before being hit by most of the blasts. But she was bruised as some of the explosions had hit her, teleport taking a couple of seconds to pull off. She could see he was in a slightly worse condition with some blood from his face and arms dripping on the floor. But the cuts were not deep and she could see he was being far from being defeated. He suddenly raised both paws and began to charge something in front of him. Susan could see small sparks of black power in front of his outstretched paws. Just as a black ball appeared in front of him she concentrated on the area above him. As he shot she disappeared and re-appeared three feet above him. While he was still controlling his blast he couldn't defend. Smacking her foot into his neck hit him to the ground. As quick as she could, her tail wrapped round his neck and flipped him into the air. Not wasting time she leaped up towards him. He had just managed to face her when her paws made contact with his belly. While he gasped for air, she interlocked both paws and brought them smacking down into the base of his spine. His re-entrance into the ground was faster and quicker than the time before and certainly looked painful. She was therefore surprised, when seconds later with a roar of fury that sounded like some demon he was jumping out of his own dust cloud. She moved her paws in front of her face in time to intercept a wave a cuts and slashes. He seemed possessed by a maniacal fury. Though he couldn't fly he had sent her to the ground with him. Both landed on their feet and started to batter and swipe at each other again. To Dr. Mhuy they were blurs. Their speed kept getting faster and faster until the Darken was at his full. But to his horror his enemy was still going up. He tried to continue his barrage but he could no longer hit her. Susan played with him for a couple of seconds, letting him see she was too quick before wiping the arena with him. Knocking both of his arms out of the way she started to punch and claw his belly as quick as she could. This was his most vulnerable position and already it was bleeding. He was bent over double from the pain but she continued. Even to the Darken who followed all the other movement her arms were a blur. Not only were they fast but strong and the Darken was wearing down. Pulling his remaining strength together he punched with everything he had. But she had already anticipated his movement and her head swung back. With deadly accuracy both claws on her front paws sliced his face. She landed a deep kick into his belly again. Blood flew from his mouth in front of him. Her tail wrapped round his foot and pulled. The nest thing he saw was the arena roof and a sharp tail at his throat. Susan could feel her power still rising. She wondered why it hadn't come to surface immediately like his did but had to build up slowly. She turned back to the Darken. "It seems you were mistaken about your strength. Now what should I do to you. If you had won you would be draining me now until I died. But I will be kinder. Your death will be instant." "You wouldn't kill me" "How are you so sure?" He looked up into her eyes again. They were cold and emotionless, the eyes of a killer. They didn't look like a normal Pokemon's eyes. Even the Darken eyes showed more feeling than hers. His own eyes widened. "You are going to kill me." It wasn't a question, he said uttered it like a statement. Growls sounded from around the ring. Two or three Darken tried to make their way up to the arena. "Stop." They looked up at their leader with surprise. "We Darken are not soft but we do follow the warrior code. As soon as they both started their fight their fate was in their enemies hands. She has the choice wither to kill or not." There were growls of disapproval but these were silenced again. "But I hasten to add that if she does kill a Darken of mine I was personally kill her myself. She will …." "Shut up. I am not scared of you how ever much you have changed. If you fight me I will kill you as well. Now back to this guy" She raised her tail up aiming at the point of his throat. The Darken started to stare at her. She seemed to be hesitating. The Darken was staring at the Mews eyes. Flashes of Pink, Blue, and Green were flicking across them. Suddenly the pupils became clear. Susan pulled her tail back and turned her back on him. Raising her hands to her head she disappeared. "She must have Teleported, I didn't see her move. Can she Teleport out of here?" Dr. Mhuy took a couple seconds before answering. He had been deeply shocked by the fight. Not only was one of his creations defeated quite easily but it seemed a Mew was going to kill it. A Mew never killed. "What? Oh yeah, no the wall are lined with Dark matter. She cannot destroy or Teleport past them. Some Darken ran forward to help their comrade. "She wasn't even sweating." "How could she defeat him so easily?" "We have a type advantage!" The Darken leader turned away. He was becoming more interested in the Mew. Strange why she didn't kill after she looked like she meant to. And what power, he thought. She might even be able to challenge him! He decided to look about for her. "Now I want these guns positioned over here, behind these walls." Finally the day of the fight had come round. Every hour was precious to the Shadow Gang. Sometime that night Team Rocket would be arriving. It was already twelve o'clock and the sun was high in the sky. The battle was due to take place on a steel battle arena surrounded by a low wall. Spectators were to stand outside this wall. Harper had this specially placed so that no other Pokemon could be used. The top of the Shadow Gangs base- or the legitimate side was very close by. It was a three story warehouse from which the Shadow Gangs snipers would be shooting. They would be protected by a series of heavy machine gun posts. At the moment they were being disguised with bushes but by nightfall Harper hoped they would be shooting. Around the other side of the battle field were the Shadows Gangs big guns. Harper was leaving them out in sight in the hope that they would scare the rockets from attacking this flank. And he had good reason. On this flank he was keeping his more valuable men. They were armed with flame-throwers and bayonets. Both of these units had very short range and this was why he hoped Team Rocket wouldn't attack this flank. Hidden inside the factory were twenty motorbikes. He knew the devastating results these men could achieve. Like the cavalry of old they combined speed and deadly weapons. And the fact that they were fighting in the night gave them the advantage of blinding lights and loud engines which would scare the enemy. Harper looked over the battle field. He wondered how it would look night fell and they attacked the Rockets. Unfortunately almost all of their foot soldiers were going to have to mingle with the Rocket. But he would find some way to work it out. Well I finally got this chapter done but the next may be a long way away. I busy writing a DBZ story at the minute so this may a time coming. But don't let that stop you reviewing. Suiceene
