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. Early next morning there was a meeting between top member's of the army and of the police. The leader of the A.T.A.S was there as well as Officer Jenny, her commander, a General of the Army, and the Mayor of Viridian. After all the publicity Team Rocket had been getting the Mayor and the police chief were of the opinion that they were the ones responsible. "Who else has the men or the equipment to pull this off? It has to be the Rockets." The mayor was saying. "Yeah it's the Rockets all right. Jenny here says that they had the Mew before." "No that's not true. Team Rocket kidnapped a young girl for reasons not known. It's when we tried to rescue her that we found the Mew." "But that doesn't matter. Once they heard we had a Mew they would have wanted it. The fact that they used to have a base here shows their involvement." "But before they left they told us that they were not Team Rocket. They said that they were called the Shadow gang." "And you believe them?" "I have to say that I agree with the Officer" For the first time the A.T.A.S leader spoke up. "For one they didn't look like Team Rocket and I have fought Team Rocket before and these guys were much better. Team Rocket were never good at gun battles. They are good at Pokemon battles and stealing Pokemon. I think that at least some of those men are ex-army. Team Rocket never have hired army personal after operation Fire strike was pulled off." (The A.TA.S leader is referring to the incident where the army placed a spy in Team Rocket. She helped the army and the police raid the labs where the genetic testing was going on and in the capture of 147 Rocket operatives. She was eventually caught but managed to escape) "Are you sure that they couldn't be in disguise or something?" "Why would they want to? Team Rocket claims everything to try and get publicity. It must be a new gang." The Mayor looked shocked and worried. "Another big gang in Viridian? I have enough trouble with the Rockets." The Police chief started up "Team Rocket are now an established gang. It is very hard to try and crack them at the moment. They are too big. But the Shadow gang is different, if we can beat them now if we are quick enough. Officer, what did they take from here anyway?" "Well let me see. I think they took all the healing equipment here, some guns, and some of the kids Pokemon, and the Mew." The Mayor turned back to the Police chief "Do you know where there base is yet?" "The prisoners aren't speaking about where the base is exactly but I think that it is near Lavender." They then got maps out and began discussing strategies to try and find the base. Up in the air vents Ash and Brock had heard all they wanted to hear, where the base might be. It took five minutes to crawl back to the air duct in which they had entered. Three children waited outside for them. Lizzy's mom was a Nurse Joy on Cinnabar so she had a good idea of the geography of a Pokecenter. Early that morning, five thirty in fact, Ash, Brock, and Joe had sneaked out of their rooms to spy on Officer Jenny, who they had seen leave earlier. As they left their room they ran into Catherine and Lizzy. After a couple of moment's indecision they decided to join forces. "So its off to Lavender is it?" questioned Joe. "Well, it's your decision." Ash stated looking at everyone in the face. "I'm going to get my Pokemon Pikachu and to rescue my two friends. The rest of you can wait here if you wish for the police or me to deliver your Pokemon." "I go with you Ash." Brock stated immediately. He was followed immediately by Joe. The girls took a moment or two to think before also agreeing to join them. Ash started to walk out of the Pokecenter before being grabbed by Joe. "Wait up Ash. Do you even know where Lavender is?" Ash stopped immediately his face going red. Behind him the girls rolled their eyes. They walked back to an empty room and Brock got his map out. Shortly after six in the morning three vans rolled up through a hidden drive entrance. They passed through three security gates before coming apon the large factory. The legitimate side of the Shadow gang was that they were car manufacturers. The three vans drove into the center of the courtyard where they waited. Seconds later the vans completely emptied. Three huge magnets lowered and lifted the vans out to a crusher. The two hundred and twenty men took their prisoners and themselves over to the forest. From here they seemed to disappear. The police would automatically look for a trapdoor near the factory. When the large cargo elevator eventually stopped it revealed a reception area. All the Shadow Gang members led the captured Pokemon and Misty off towards the right while the twelve dark black Pokemon, the leader still carrying the limp and bleeding frame of the Mew went off to the left. Four guards led the prisoners off into the interrogation room while the normal men went off to their quarters. The officers had to report to the commanding officer of the base. The dark creatures went to their creator Dr Mhuy. An hour or two later the prisoners were transported to Dr Mhuy's. Harper, who was second in command, was seriously regretting taking all the Pokemon and the girl prisoners. His commander was not happy about their existence so he sent them to the doctor. A lot of his earlier patients had died but to a good cause or so the good doctor said. He made his way back to his quarters. The doctor's lab was very spacious being on yet another underground level. Dr Mhuy was taking D.N.A samples of the prisoners. They were inside the same containers with green fluid that Susan had been in earlier. The doctor stuck the needles through holes to get their blood samples. While he fed these into his computer the twelve black creatures wandered into the room. "Yes?" "We wondered how the Mew is doing." The Pokemon's voice sounded rough and cold. Dr Mhuy continued to type on his computer. "She was brought in very bad shape. I'll show on the big screen." A large projector screen came down. Misty looked up through the green liquid at it. Beside her Pikachu and the others also stared up. Most of their injuries had healed up. The doctor turned off the lights. The screen stayed black for a minute before flicking up the picture of the small cat. "After examining her I found that she has dislocated her shoulder, and broken one of her legs. There is a bad wound in her stomach. She also has severe neck injuries with many vein and arteries broken. I found traces of your D.N.A here which is very bad." "Why?" "As you already know your D.N.A can take in physic power and use it to recharge yourself. This D.N.A also drains physic power. With your D.N.A in her neck her wounds can't heal and she will die of blood loss." "She should be dead by now shouldn't she?" "They way you mishandled her she should be. Her body is amazing. All wounds heal quite quickly even ruptured organs. But it is taking a lot of energy from my machines to try and removes the traces you left." "The Shadow Gang think that she is dead. Why are you taking this risk deliberately going against their orders?" "I watched your fight with her. You are supposed to be Ultimate fighters able to defeat any Pokemon, or that's what the top brass thinks. But this creature defeated two of you even though you have a type advantage against her. I want to make you more powerful. You are my last creations; I want you to be the most powerful Pokemon ever to live!" After this dramatic speech the doctor went back to his computer. Two of the creatures lay down beside Misty's container. The ten others were walking out to the nest room to train when a buzzer sounded. "Could you send four of your new subjects up here. We would like to test them out." "We do not need to be tested." "Go anyway. It will give you a chance to show off." Four, including the leader left. The other went into the other room to train. After watching this Misty started to think. From what she had heard the think weren't even proper Pokemon. And they had an advantage against Physic, which had been the best element. She tried to move but the green liquid restricted almost all movement. The other Pokemon seemed to be the same state. As she strained to look around the lab she saw that it seemed to be jam-packed with a lot of stuff. There were books and papers lying everywhere. There was also a lot of metal and half-finished machines scattered about. There were also a lot of computers as well as the big one the doctor was on at the moment. The doctor was about sixty to sixty five with graying hair and a bald spot. As she watched him he moved away from his computer and walked over to them. "It doesn't seem that contact with my Darkens has affected any of you. Your wounds should be gone by tomorrow. Now if you excuse me I have to work on healing the Mew." He walked out of the room. Out of his site Misty began to move her hand slowly down wards. Because of the liquid she could only really move an inch or two at a time but her had finally made its way to her waist. There in a concealed pocket she had managed to sneak a Pokeball out of her bag. The rest of her Pokemon were in containers, as the doctor didn't want to take any chance of them escaping. Inch by inch she moved her finger to the button, which would open the Pokeball and give her, her freedom. Her finger slowly pushed down and with a flash Starmie appeared. As it came out of the Pokeball it smashed her container. Both girl and Pokemon fell down with a thump covered in the green slime. Lucky for them most of this went over the two Darkens. Misty climbed on Starmie's back and off they flew. Doctor Mhuy hearing the crash ran out in time to see them escaping. The two Darkens managed to wipe the slime out of their eyes and ran after Misty. Starmie deposited Misty outside the elevator and then turned towards the corridor to try and stall the Darkens. Misty fumbled with the buttons in her hitting the wrong ones. Finally she hit the button that was supposed to open the door, but it didn't work. She saw that she needed a keycard to open the elevator. In this time their two enemies appeared at the end of the corridor. Starmie tried her strongest water attacks against them but all it did was clean them. They continued to walk forward. In desperation Starmie threw himself in a Tackle attack towards one of them. Quicker than Misty could see the Darken jumped around the side of the water Pokemon and clenching his fists together smashed them into Starmie's back. Starmie flew through the air into the wall creating a large crack. Before it could move out both of the dark creatures stared to fire balls of black energy into him. From Misty's point of view it seemed a black aura appeared round them and then a ball flew from the creature taking the aura away with it. They fired three times each and each blast took more of the wall away with it. By the sixth blast Starmie had fainted and was bleeding. The wall looked like it was going to collapse at any minute. Misty ran over and tried to lift Starmie up in her hands. She was nudged in the back by one of the creatures. "Come on with me." He growled. She stayed where she was trying to help her Pokemon. He bared his teeth. "Remember you are not really a hostage. If you die nobody cares. My friend can take you Pokemon" Misty hesitated for a second before complying. He led her back into the lab. Dr Mhuy was looking at the destruction of one of his capsules. "This is bad" he sighed "very bad." He looked up at her. "Young lady who have destroyed a very valuable piece of equipment." He pointed down the line of the capsules in which all the other Pokemon were housed. "I only have one free one and your Starmie is going to get it. You see my problem." He sighed. "I going to have to trust you to stay out. There's no point in trying in trying to escape. You know by now that the elevator won't work for you. You can either choose to help me or stay here quietly. I won't force you to do either." Misty thought about it while he placed Starmie in the last container. Finally she decided to go and help him. She would probably be able to see Susan and maybe even talk to her. She followed him out into the other room. The leader of the Darkens was launching the Darkens knocked on the door with his front paw. "Come in" The four entered the commanders room. Sharpe was the leader and the creator of the Shadow Gang. He was about thirty-five and an ex-army man. He had been a Lieutenant Colonel when he left and he still wore his uniform. He had a scar coming from the top of one eye to the bottom. The scar also left his mouth in a constant sneer. He was seven-foot and his shoulders were wide and he was still super fit. Harper was also in the room and two others. "I have been told that you are supposed to be unbeatable fighters. Nest door you will find some opponents to fight. I will judge if you are worthy of this title." One of the Darkens behind the leader growled but his leader silenced him. Sharpe nodded at a door on the over side of the room. The four walked over and into the room. As the left Sharpe and the other three walked over to a window which overlooked the fighting room. It was about twenty feet lower down. After a couple of minutes of sloping downhill they reached the fighting ring. "Spread out. He wants to make us lose so he will try and surprise us." Suddenly four doors around them opened and four large Pokemon came from them. The doors were at ninety-degree angles so the four were surrounded. At the North gate was a Venasaur, the others were a Blastoise, a Charizard, and a Raichu. All were bigger than normal as their level was ninety-two plus. As soon as they were out they began to attack. Venasaur was preparing his Solarbeam but the others just fired off theirs one after each other. First fire covered the field, then water, and then electricity. A huge crater was left and dust filled the air. Sharpe grinned. Defeated already, they weren't much of a challenge. Sharpe was about to turn away when he saw a flash of black. Two of the Darkens had kept the same position rising to their full defence but they were scratched and bruised. The other had leaped sideways. The Charizard, Blastoise, and the Raichu then charged the Darkens. The Darken the Blastoise charged first then fired an energy attack against the water creature. This didn't slow it down at all so then he rolled itself into a ball and threw it self into the Blastoise's stomach. This didn't faze it much either. Grabbing the dark creature she threw him into the wall. The Darken, which was facing the Charizard, was having a slightly better time. It had managed to get on the fire creatures back and was busy firing small balls of dark energy into his back. These seemed hurt it quite a bit so he began to dive and duck and twirl trying to throw the Darken off. Powering up to deliver a lethal blast he lost his footing and fell off. His blast hit the Blastoise and this stopped him from hitting the other Darken but still didn't draw blood. The Raichu and the third Darken were trading blows hand to hand combat. Though the Raichu was strong and fast and its Thunder Punch was very powerful, it wasn't fast enough to match her partner. Already she was bleeding from light cuts. She started charging up a Zap cannon. Electricity started to spark around her. Holding up her two paws a ball of pure electrical power formed. She fired the beam. The Darken paused for a fatal second looking at a move he had never heard of before he was struck by the beam. The beam continued onwards and struck the Charizard and the Darken he was fighting. All three were thrown into a wall. The leader of the Darkens was launching his assault against the Venasaur. As she was preparing a Solarbeam she was unable to defend against all his attacks. But with her huge defence he wasn't getting on to well. As he was slicing at her face with his arms her heard a noise behind him. When he turned he saw the Blastoise charging towards him. He was towering his head to deliver a Skull bash. Quicker than non- Darken's eyes could see he darted towards the Blastoise's legs charging up as he did so. He fired and then leaped towards the Blastoise's right. The Blastoise stumbled and then hit into the ground when the Darken struck his back shell with so much force it cracked. He turned to his three followers. "No more pussy footing around. Lets reveal our full strength and show them who's boss." The Charizard flew high up the air and began to shoot Fire Blasts down on his opponent. But the Darken kept dodging. Then the Darken paused for a moment bending his legs. The Charizard took this time to fire attacks all around him. No way he can dodge that, he was thinking when the Darken flexed his legs and leaped upwards. His jump was amazing carrying him all the way up to the Charizard. Before he could react a black aura appeared around the Darken but this wasn't like any of the others he had fired. This aura was so thick and black he could hardly see through. Getting worried the Charizard fired a Hyper beam at the Darken. Just before the beam hit the Darken fired his attack. It engulfed the Hyper beam and moved on at an amazing speed. From Sharps view the Charizard was at about the same height as him. The black covered the fire creature. Seconds later there was an explosion. When the dust cleared he saw the Charizard was plastered against the wall. Blood was pouring was huge gases in its chest. Its neck was at a weird angle as well. The Darken plummeted back down to the ground and when it landed it ran off to completely destroy the Charizard body. Before he could do so the Charizard was taken back into its Pokeball. The Darken smirked up at Sharp before looking for its nest target. Raichu was getting thoroughly irritated by her opponent. Punch after punch missed. Even her tail missed her Dark opponent. She started to charge up another Zap cannon but she was stopped by a head-butt to her stomach. Before she could react two fists smacked into her spine which was raised up in the air. But this wasn't enough to finish her off. Shaking her head she struggled to her feet. To her horror she saw that the Darken was powering some sort of attack. She just managed to set up a Light Barrier before he fired. Four black energy needles came for her. They were about three inches wide and two feet long. They sliced straight through her barrier and struck her. One went through each her arms and her legs. They pulled her up until she was four meters high. Then they began to spark and quiver. Suddenly they began to detonate. The explosions were quite small and had a couple of seconds between each blast. First her shoulder was blown off, then her stomach. Again Sharpe managed to return it to its Pokeball before it died. The Blastoise turned back to its opponent who it had thrown into the wall. It slowly climbed out of the rubble eyeing the Blastoise carefully. The Blastoise had a higher defence than either the Raichu or the Charizard. The Blastoise turned its high pressurised water cannons towards the Darken and fired. A couple of seconds later it paused. The water had destroyed some of the steel walls but although it had been pushed back a bit the Darken looked unfazed. He smiled evilly at the Blastoise and began to plan how he would defeat him. Unfortunately for him this was a big mistake. The Blastoise then fired his Blizzard attack. This froze all the water around the Darken and completely trapped it. It lay still unable to move. The Blastoise's eyes glinted. He looked around. The leader turned from attacking Venasaur and looked at his fallen comrade. He ran towards the ice. As he ran the Blastoise tried to fire its Blizzard again but he was too quick. One at the ice patch he started to fire his black energy blasts at the ice patch. His two comrades joined him and the forth Darken was released in a couple of seconds. He nodded his appreciation to the other two and bowed his head in thanks to his leader, then they all turned to the Blastoise. Unfortunately for him he had run out of ice attacks so he turned his attention to forming four Hyper Beams. This was a huge strain on him and it was evident that this would be the last thing he would do in this battle. He pushed all four together to form a giant Hyper Beam. Panting he turned this towards the Darkens. They knew that they couldn't hope to dodge this. It was so big and in trying to run away their defence would be at it weakest. They only had one choice. They all stood together and concentrated to mix with their energy with the others. As he fired his huge attack they did likewise with their own dark beam. As both attacks hit there was a mini explosion and the ground shook but other than that nothing happened. Both beams were pushing against each other. At first the Hyper Beam stream-rolled through the black beam, but about ten feet from the four Darkens it paused. Closer to its source the dark beam was more powerful and the opposite was for the Hyper Beam. At this critical point in the battle both sides struggled to push as much power into the beam. But the Blastoise had less power than the Darkens and his Hyper beam began to wane and then it fell apart. The black beam seemed to move at an incredible speed towards the Blastoise. His eyes widened as he saw his own death approach him. He was to far away to be recalled by his Pokeball. Seconds before the beam would have hit him a golden beam from over his shoulder hit into the black beam. The Venasaur had finally struck. Having been concentrated for so long it ate up the black beam. It zoomed towards the Darkens. Seconds before it hit, the Darken knew what would happen. There was a black flash and then it was followed by a huge golden explosion. Sharpe and Harper strained to stare down. The dust thrown up was so thick Harper had to release his Pidgeot. It blew away all the dust so they could see the battlefield. The Venasaur was ok but he had to return the Blastoise, it had fought very well. The rest of the battle field was rubble. The chamber floor had had been deepened by five feet. He turned to his companions "I was right. They are not the best Pokemon. Mine still are the best in the Pokemon world. As Sharpe was turning away a black glint caught his eye. He stared in amazement as he saw a Darken coming out of a rock pile. Staring at it he saw that it was the Darken leader, but it looked slightly different. It was two inches taller and its muscles were bigger. He began to fire relentlessly at the Venasaur and he didn't stop until its bloody heap had been returned to its Pokeball. Slowly it walked out of the room and up the steps. Ignoring the four men it walked out of the room. An interesting battle was it not? You have now seen the true power of the Darken. Pretty good aren't they. No Susan in that Chapter was there. Ok you can review now. Suiceene
