MEWTHREE'S FINAL BATTLE

Chapter 1
Pixie's Final Attack

	It hadn't been that long ago that Ash, Misty and Brock found the Poke'mon 
Queen's daughter, Saraya. She was young, only six. She traveled with them in 
hopes of finding her mommy. The Poke'mon Queen. Her pet, the real Mew, travel 
with them as well. Ash and Misty weren't without there Poke'mon, Gato and 
Pikachu. Ash, Misty, Brock, Gato, Pikachu, Saraya, and Mew. They were on there 
way to find the Poke'mon Queen so she could stop Mewthree. Simple enough? Nope. 
Brock sighed and studied the map. They had come to a resting stop.
	"Well, if were going to look up in the Icy Mountains, we need to get going 
if were going to make it by nightfall." Brock told the group.
	"Now? We just started to rest." complained Saraya.
	"Yeah. Just a little longer?" asked Gato.
	"Fine." Brock agreed.
	In the shadow's a Wolflithe watched them. He growled and ran to his 
master. He got to her cave and bowed his head.
	"Master Pixie, Ash and his friends are resting and should be on the move 
soon." the Wolflithe said.
	"Good. I'll deal with them when they reach Icy Mountain." Pixie said.
	She stepped from the cave and opened her wings. She flew up and away. The 
Wolflithe watched and then followed on the ground. Meanwhile, Ash and his 
friends continued on there way. Saraya skipped in front of them all. Mew floated 
in the air above her, watching her like a dog but playing with her like a 
kitten.
	"I think its like being a mother, watching over Saraya." Misty suddenly 
said.
	"Oh? What makes you say that?" asked Gato.
	Misty shrugged.
	"Well, it is a full time job." Ash sighed.
	"Pika."
	"But it'll be worth it. We help her and us by finding the Poke'mon Queen." 
Brock said.
	"I still think one of Emerald's friends should have come." Ash sighed.
	"Emerald and her friends are better off on the island, planing a way to 
fight Mewthree." Misty said.
	Saraya suddenly stopped skipping. The friends came up behind her.
	"Look! That's my mommy's!" she said pointing striate a head. 
	They all looked to see and white horse. It had a silver horn that came 
from its head and had a red diamond shape jewel in the middle of it forehead. 
Right under the horn. It had huge, feather covered wings. It's fur was snowy 
white as well as its wings. It's mane and tail were silver.
	"That's your mom's?" asked Brock.
	"Is it a Poke'mon?" Ash asked.
	Saraya shook her head.
	"It's not a Poke'mon. It's my mommy's. She told me that this horse came to 
her from the moon when she was little. She raise it from a baby. Her name is 
Wind Dancer." Saraya explained.
	They all went to the horse. Saraya laughed happily and petted Wind Dancer, 
who was thrilled to see her. Mew landed on her head.
	"This is turning into a fantasy story." Brock commented.
	"Yeah. I guess the Poke'mon Queen is like a queen in those fairy tales." 
Misty agreed.
	Ash didn't add anything. He was still in thought. If the Poke'mon Queen 
was like that, why was she a Poke'mon Queen and not just a queen?
	"Pika?"
	Pikachu's ears pricked up.
	"What's wrong Pikachu?" Ash asked to his friend.
	Wind Dancer twitched her ears and reared up. She let out a high neigh 
before returning to the ground. Mew flew into the air and looked around. She saw 
a figure in the air make its way towards Icy Mountain. She flew down to Saraya.
	"Mewwww! Mew!" she cooed.
	"Mew saw Pixie going to the mountain!" Saraya said.
	"Great. Now what?" asked Gato.
	"I think we fly to the mountain I can use Phoenix and Misty can ride with 
me, Pidgeot could carry Brock and Wind Dancer can carry Saraya." Ash said.
	"That works." Misty agreed.
	Ash released his two Poke'mon. They all got on there flying partners and 
took off. Phoenix was in the lead. Pidgeot and Wind Dancer on either side.
	"I see her! Pixie! She's there!" Brock called out.
	"I wonder what she is doing there?" asked Gato.
	"She's going to attack us, what else." Saraya answered.
	They all landed on the ledge where they saw Pixie. She was there. She 
formed a sly smile.
	"You again? I thought you learned from the last attack." she said.
	"We won that thank you very much!" snapped Gato.
	"Pika pika!"
	Pixie shrugged.
	"I'm here for our final battle. After me, you can take on Mewthree." Pixie 
said.
	"Only three huh? I thought there would be more." Ash said.
	"Surprise. Shall we?" asked Pixie.
	They all got off there Poke'mon. Ash kept them out, just in case. He threw 
a Pokeball and Tiger appeared. Pikachu and Gato joined in. Pixie flew into the 
air.
	"That's the best you can come up with!" she yelled.
	Tiger leaped at her. Mouth open and full of teeth. Pixie dodged but Tiger 
caught her Wolflithe tail. He pulled her down. They both landed in the snow.
	"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash ordered.
	"Pi-ka-CCCHHHHUUUU!!" Pikachu cried and let out lightning bolts.
	Pixie was up. She put her hands in front of her.
	"Fire Wall!!" she cried.
	A wall of fire raised in front of her. All the lightning bolts bounced 
off. The wall disappeared. Pixie threw her hand forward.
	"Flame!!" she cried.
	Flame shot from her hand and hit Pikachu.
	"Piiiii!"
	Pikachu fell in the snow. He didn't move.
	"Pikachu!" Ash cried.
	Pixie laughed.
	"What made you think, you could bet Master Mewthree?" Pixie laughed.
	Ash picked up is burnt Poke'mon.
	"Back off." he whispered.
	Tiger and Gato looked at him.
	"Back off!" he yelled again.
	"Your crazy! We have to win this!" Tiger yelled.
	"It's not worth it." Ash said.
	Misty didn't blame him. This was getting to hard to handle. But would he 
really give up?
	"Do you give up?" Pixie asked.
	"Never! Tiger, Torpedo!" Ash yelled.
	Tiger did as told. Lightning bolts that were blue and small burst form the 
wolf Poke'mon's horns. They all hit Pixie before she could move.
	"Lightning Claw!!" Gato called.
	She leaped and began to slash Pixie as fast as possible. Saraya watched in 
amazement.
	"Now, the Roar!" Ash yelled.
	Pixie was too fast. She slashed Gato and Tiger hard in the face with her 
long blue nails. They both fell in the snow, lifeless.
	"You are brave. But fools." Pixie said.
	Tiger and Gato got up.
	"You wish we were fools. Phoenix, Flamethrower!" yelled Ash.
	Phoenix shot a burst of flame from his mouth. Pixie dodged it with ease.
	"Now I can destroy you!" she yelled.
	Saraya nodded to Wind Dancer and the horse took off. She flew at Pixie.
	"What's this? A realugerlar horse is battleing?" asked Pixie.
	Wind Dancer was more than a horse. Her horn glowed and so did her jewel. A 
yellow beam shot out her horn and hit Pixie in the wing. She landed hard in the 
snow. Her right wing was torn bad. Pixie got up and looked ready for more. She 
was weak. Wind Dancer landed next to Saraya.
	"Mommy said she taught her a few Poke'mon moves." Saraya told her friends.
	"Mewww!"
	"Very cool. Tiger, finish her off, Roar!" Ash called to his Poke'mon.
	Wind whipped around him.
	"Sorry Pixie. You could have been a very nice fighter for our side." Tiger 
said.
	Pixie staggered back. Tiger opened his mouth and shot a powerful gust of 
wind. It hit Pixie. She was blown back and over the edge. Her screams echoed 
through the mountain. Then, she was silent. Ash closed his eyes for a long time.
	"It had to be done." Tiger said.
	"Return!" Ash said.
	Tiger, Phoenix and Pidgeot disappeared into there Pokeballs. Misty saw he 
was upset, but didn't get a chance to do anything.
	"Let's go." was all Ash said.
	They went on. Saraya, Mew and Wind Dancer in the lead. Pikachu rode 
happily on Ash's head while they walked behind them. Misty and Brock walked on 
either side of there friend and Gato was perched on Misty's shoulder. They 
didn't notice a sparkle of light that shimmered behind them. They slowly climbed 
the mountain. The snow got heavier and the wind got harder. They still struggled 
on. They finally found an old castle. It was a wreck. It looked like it had been 
burnt by fire and destroyed by Poke'mon. Mewthree's troops. Saraya walked to its 
steps.
	"This...was my mommy's castle." she gasped.
	Wind Dancer lowered her head. Mew floated up to the castle and inside it. 
She stopped and saw a note that was in an envelope that had been unharmed by the 
fire. Mew took it and brought it to Saraya, who was on her knees and crying. Ash 
and his friends were with her. 
	"Look! Mew brought something!" Misty said.
	Saraya wiped her tears away and took the letter. She opened the envelope 
and took the white sheet of paper out. She unfolded it and read the letter out 
loud.
		Dear Finder,	
			I am the Poke'mon Queen and this is my castle. I have fled 
from it because I knew a head of time that baddies were coming. I sent my 
daughter, Saraya, out into the real world as a lost child. Whoever finds her, I 
hope its the good, she will follow. Her pet Mew and my horse Wind Dancer will be 
with her. I sent the queen's of the other types of Poke'mon away from here. I'm 
not sure were they will end up. Lita, the Poke'mon Queen of Electric Poke'mon, 
Nina, the Poke'mon Queen of Normal Poke'mon, Mel, the Poke'mon Queen of Fire 
Poke'mon, Amy, the Poke'mon Queen of Water Poke'mon, May, the Poke'mon Queen of 
Grass Poke'mon, Erika, the Poke'mon Queen of Psychic Poke'mon and Blaze, the 
Poke'mon Queen of Ice Poke'mon. Those are my friends. The rest of the types are 
mine as well as there's that I look over. Please find my daughter and friends.
		Love,
			Ray, The Poke'mon Queen

	"So, she did send you away for safety. That's what I said." Misty told 
Saraya.
	"Mommy. She's still alive! We have to find her and the other queen's!" 
Saraya cheered.
	"Do you know the others?" asked Ash.
	"Yes." Saraya answered.
	The letter suddenly disappeared.
	"Fine then. We go find them all!" Ash said.


Chapter 2
The Other Queen's


	"This is not good. They have gone too far." said Mewthree while watching 
the screen they were on.
	He waved his spiked tail around and crashed the screen. It sparked and 
shattered.
	"They destroyed Pixie, Poison and Ghost. There better than I thought." he 
said.
	He removed his tail from the smashed screen. He walked forward and the 
doors slid open. Mewthree stepped out and down some stairs until he got to 
another set of stairs. He went down them and got to the bottom level of his 
castle. The dungeon. He walked down rows and rows of empty cages.
	"These cages will soon be filled." he said.
	He came to a room that had more screens. He worked with the keyboard on 
one and it brought up Ash and his friends. He nodded.
	"When they come, I'll be more than ready." Mewthree growled as he watched 
the screen.
	Meanwhile, Ash and his friends tugged along. They were in high hopes but 
very tired.
	"I'm tired." Misty finally said.
	"I think we all are. Let's rest here for the night." Brock agreed.
	They all made a fire and got there sleeping bags out. They sat around the 
fire for awhile before all going to sleep. The sparkle of light was still with 
them. It wasn't a light at all. It was one of the queens. She had long flowing 
jet black hair. She wore a long red dress that came down to her ankles. The 
dress had thin straps that went over her shoulders. She had red high-heeled 
shoes on. Her eyes were brown and she was pretty. She held a long staff in her 
right hand that had the head and wings of a Charizard at the end. It was a gold 
figure. Her hair blew in the wind as she watched them. She was going to make 
herself known. They had found the letter and Saraya. She turned and disappeared 
to make her way down.  The next morning, Gato woke up to foot steps in the cave. 
She lifted herself up and walked on her four paws away from Misty. She stopped a 
few feet away from Misty and her a noise. A voice.
	"Don't be afraid, Gato." it said.
	"AAAAHHHH! Misty! Wake up! The cave is talking!" Gato screamed at the top 
of her lungs.
	The voice giggled and she yelled again. They all were up in a flash. Gato 
continued to yell until Misty clapped her hand over her mouth.
	"Shut up Gato! We hear you!" she hissed.
	"Your friend was just warning you. After all, I could be danger." said the 
she voice.
	"Well, who are you!" cried Ash.
	"What you are looking for."
	A young woman stepped from the shadows. Her jet black hair flowing and her 
red dress was still. She held her staff firmly.
	"Mel!" cried Saraya.
	She ran to her and hugged the girl. Mel put a hand on Saraya's head and 
smiled.
	"Your the Fire Queen." Brock said.
	She nodded.
	"I've been following you for sometime. Only when I saw you found the 
letter did I decide to show myself." she said.
	"Me too!" came another voice from the cave. Another woman walked into the 
light. She had brown hair that was in a messy pony-tail. Two, thin, small 
strands of brown hair hung from either side of her head, past her ears and 
touched her shoulders. She wore a long green dress, just like Mel's. She held a 
gold staff with a golden Pikachu's head on top. She had brown eye's and wore 
high-heel green shoes. She smiled at them.
	"Lita!" cried Saraya and hugged the other.
	"The Electric Queen." Misty whispered.
	"There so pretty! Do you have husbands?" asked Brock.
	Everyone sweat dropped as Brock approached them. Lita grabbed his arm and 
threw him out of the cave.
	"Nope and I don't plan on getting one." she said, dusting her hands.
	Brock staggered in but with a different look on his face.
	"There's another beautiful girl out here in trouble." he said.
	"Must be someone else. Let's go." Mel told her comrade.
	They all rushed outside. They stopped and saw another woman with long, 
golden hair being attacked by a wild Wolflithe. Her hair was almost to her 
knees! She wore a long orange dress just like Mel's and Lita's. She had high-
heel shoes that were orange and a red bow sort of below the top of her head. She 
had blue eye's and had a staff that had a golden Persian head on the top.
	"Hang on Nina!" cried Mel and she and Lita approached the wild Wolflithe.
	"I'll take care of this you two!" shouted another voice.
	Yet another young woman jumped down from a mountain top. She had long, icy 
blue hair and wore a icy blue dress like the others. Her hair was as long as 
Nina. She had flat shoes that were icy blue and held a golden staff with a 
golden heart on the top. It had a red jewel in the middle. She had blue eye's 
and held the staff in both hands. She went eye to eye with the Wolflithe.
	"As Queen of Ice Poke'mon, back away." she said in a chanting voice.
	The Wolflithe backed away. The red jewel glowed. The Wolflithe then ran in 
terror. She stood striate and held the staff in her one right hand.
	"Blaze and Nina. This is starting to get complicated." Misty commented.
	"Not really. You haven't met us all." Nina said.
	"Great. How many more of you are there?" asked Ash.
	"Three left, I think." said Lita.
	"Blaze? Isn't that a fire name?" asked Gato.
	"Only if you look at it that way." Blaze told her.
	Pikachu looked confused.
	"If your the queen's of different types, what can you do?" asked Ash.
	"Control our type of Poke'mon. Duh! What do you think?" sighed Lita.
	"How?" asked Brock.
	"Like this."
	Lita waved her staff and the golden Pikachu glowed yellow. Pikachu saw it 
and his eyes moved with it.
	"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" cried Lita.
	"He only listen's too-"
	But Ash was cut off as sparks flew from the Pikachu's cheek's. Lightning 
bolts shot out everywhere. Suddenly, Saraya saw it hit something.
	"Look! It hit something!" she cried out.
	Lita put her staff in normal position and they all looked up. Pikachu 
shook his head and looked around in confusion.
	"Come down and show yourself stranger!" called Nina.
	"I'm no stranger! I'm just lucky to have moved." cried an angry voice.
	"You! I was almost hit! I had to call on that Magikarp to take the shock!" 
came another voice.
	Two girls came down to there friends. One had short, dark blue hair. She 
wore a long, dark blue dress like her friends and carried a golden staff. It had 
a golden Blastoise head on it. She wore normal, dark blue shoes.
	"Hey Amy!" said Mel.
	The other had black hair that came a little past her shoulders. She had a 
purple dress like her friends and normal purple shoes. She carried a staff that 
had a knife like shape at the end all most.
	"Erike!" cried Saraya.
	"Is that all?" asked Gato.
	"Amy, the Water Queen and Erika the Psychic Queen. I think that's all." 
said Blaze.
	"Wait, you said three." Misty pointed out.
	"Oh yeah. Well, she'll come around. We all were together when we followed 
you and she wasn't with us. So we just have to find her along the way." Lita 
shrugged.
	"Okay! Now we have to find the Poke'mon Queen." said Ash.
	They all looked sad. Wind Dancer snorted.
	"Mew?"
	"What?" asked Ash.
	"Do not speak of her. It makes us sad to think that she could be dead." 
said Mel.
	"She's not dead! She's a live!" Saraya cried.
	"Of course she is. Mewthree still fears her." Ash said.
	"You know of Mewthree?" growled Lita in angry.
	"Yes. Long story." Misty said.
	"Tell us on the way down." Amy said.
	They all climbed down and Ash, Misty, Brock and Gato all explained how 
they got to the island, who they met and how they found at about Mewthree's 
weakness. They got to the bottom of the mountain and laughed and talked. They 
all became good friends just in that short moment. They then approached the next 
search spot, Mewthree's birth place. It wasn't an island like Mewtwo's. It was a 
lab in the middle of a jungle. They went on, not knowing what they were about to 
find.

Chapter 3
The Poke'mon Queen


	"Here it is." Saraya said.
	"Mewww!"
	They all stood near a burnt down lab. It had defiantly been destroyed by a 
Poke'mon. They walked on the site and searched around for stuff. Nothing. As 
they searched, Misty began to wonder if it was all worth it. She walked on some 
more and suddenly spotted something gold and shinny in a rock pile. It glimmered 
in the sun light. She walked over and looked at it. It was a golden Phoenix 
shape. She pulled on it but it was stuck. She saw Ash near by.
	"Hey Ash! Give me a hand! I think I found something!" she called to him.
	He came over and saw it.
	"Well, that dose look like something." he said.
	They both pulled hard and finally pulled it out, but both were knocked off 
there feet. They both grasp the object in there hands. It was another golden 
staff with a golden Phoenix on top.
	"I think its something all right." Ash said with a nod.
	"You found my mommies staff!" came Saraya's happy voice.
	It was taken from there hands. They turned around to see everyone standing 
there.
	"Great job you two." Blaze said.
	They both stood up and admired the staff.
	"Misty found it. I just pulled it out." Ash shrugged.
	The staff suddenly glowed and pulled itself from Saraya's grip. It flew 
quickly away.
	"Hey! Come back!" cried Gato.
	Gato pused.
	"I'm talking to a staff! This mission is making me lose it!"
	"You lost it years ago." Misty laughed.
	"Ha. Ha." Gato said with no laughter what so ever. 
	They all ran after it.
	"Dose it have a mind of its own or something?" asked Ash as they ran.
	"No. The all of our staffs always return to there holder when lost. This 
might lead us striate to the queen." panted Mel.
	They continued to run after the staff. It was getting faster and they were 
getting tired and slow. Finally it stopped and dove into the jungle. They kept 
on running and came to a clearing. They all stopped dead. The staff hovered over 
a still form. It then crashed to the ground next to her.
	"Mommy!" cried Saraya.
	They all ran to her. Mel helped her to her feet. She wore a long white 
dress. So long that it covered her feet and dragged on the floor. She had two 
long golden strands of hair that came from the back of her head down to the 
ground. The dress didn't have straps to hold. Instead it just went up and 
stopped near her chest. It was lined with gold mitral.
	"It this her?" asked Ash.
	"Yes. The Poke'mon Queen." Nina said.
	She opened her eyes. They were blue and shinning.
	"Mommy!" cried Saraya.
	She hugged her. The queen was strong enough to stand without Mel's help 
and hugged her child.
	"Saraya, I thought I'd never see you again." she said.
	Her voice was almost musical. She picked up her staff, which glowed and 
then stopped. She turned to Ash and his friends.
	"And who might you be?" she asked.
	"Uh, I'm Ash and these are my friends, Misty, Brock, Pikachu and Gato."
	"They found me and brought us together." Saraya said.
	The queen nodded.
	"I'm Ray, the Poke'mon Queen. I am very grateful that you have found my 
friends and daughter. But our fight isn't over." Ray said.
	"Yes. We still have to bet Mewthree and find our last queen." Erika said.
	"With the help of Emerald and her friends." Brock added.
	"Of course. We shall win." said Lita.
	"Let's hope. Cause if we don't, good-bye peaceful planet." Gato snorted.
	Ray raised her staff. Everyone glowed gold with light. They were lifted 
and suddenly flying towards the island.
	"An easy way to travel!" Misty laughed.
	"Beets walking!" agreed Ash.
	They continued to "fly" over the sea and to the island. They got to 
Emerald's cave and landed near by. Emerald and her friend waited near by, all 
human.
	"You did it! Just in time too!" cheered Mewgirl.
	"Mew?"
	Mewgirl looked at Mew and giggled.
	"It's Mew!" she said.
	Wind Dancer rolled his eye's.
	"Let's go. I'll explain the plan on the way." Emerald said.
	"Not so fast. I think I have something that might interest you before you 
head off to my castle." came Mewthree's voice.
	They all looked up near Emerald's home to see Mewthree floating over head. 
He had a sly smile on his face as he snapped his clawed fingers. Some Scales 
came from the bushes, dragging a long wooden post that had a woman tied to it. 
They all gasped. No one noticed Mew slip away.
	"May!" cried Blaze.
	The Scales bared there teeth to prevent anyone coming near. Ash clenched 
his fists at Mewthree.
	"Let her go, Mewthree!" he yelled.
	Mewthree shot him an ice cold look. His eyes glowed and Ash was flung back 
and into some bushes.
	"No one orders me." he growled.
	"Ash!" cried Misty.
	"Pika pi!"
	Pikachu and Misty went to help him.
	"We'll beet you with the help of the Poke'mon Queen!" cried Ruby.
	"Really? Where is she?" asked Mewthree.
	Misty, Ash and Pikachu came from the bushes in time to hear him. They all 
looked around.
	"There gone!" gasped Growly.
	"Traitors! They abandoned us!" cried Persia.
	"No! They must have a plan." Icy said.
	Suddenly, a blue psychic ball of energy came spinning from the air and hit 
the two Scales. They were killed right away and the ropes snapped. May landed on 
her feet easy. Her staff appeared next to her. She stood up tall to show 
herself. She had a grass green dress on with high-heel grass green shoes. Her 
hair was also grass green and she carried a gold staff with a golden rose on the 
top.
	"The Queen of Grass Poke'mon." Tigress said.
	"Who released her!?" cried Mewthree in rage.
	"Me, your other rival." came a deep voice.
	"Mewww!"
	Mewthree looked up at the sky. Mewtwo and Mew came speeding towards him. 
He growled and disappeared in black light. Mew and Mewtwo stopped in the air. 
They turned to the others.
	"We must finish him once and for all." Mewtwo said.
	"Uh, yeah. That's why we came this way." Gato said.
	"Where'd May go?" asked Brock.
	"They all left." said Pichu.
	"They went into the castle. Come with us and hurry, we have to get in." 
Mewtwo told them.
	The two Poke'mon went shooting off very fast towards the castle. Emerald 
and her friends changed. Misty got on Icy, Brock rode Ruby and Ash got on 
Tigress. They all went shooting off. They got to the castle and burst open the 
doors. Mewthree floated above an arena. He smiled at them.
	"Welcome to my home." he growled.
	Mewtwo nodded to Mew. She flew up and glowed bright pink. Mewtwo raised 
his paw like hand.
	"Come forward! We have a battle to finish!" he yelled.
	With that, all types of Poke'mon appeared. Every single Poke'mon, even the 
new ones came. Ash noticed that were wasn't a Wolflithe or a Charizard or any of 
the Poke'mon he had. Same with Misty's and Brock's Poke'mon.
	"Release your Poke'mon, Ash." Mewtwo said.
	"How do you know me?" he asked.
	"Never mind. Just do it." Mewtwo snapped.
	The three trainers did as they were told.
	"So, the battle begins here and now." Mewthree smirked.


Chapter 4
The Final Battle


	Everyone was tensed. Tiger growled and Gray Wolf stood tall. Gato had her 
claws ready, sparks flew from Pikachu's cheek's and a Rapidash pawed the ground. 
Emerald and friends turned back into people.
	"The plan!" Persia hissed.
	"Oh, right!" Emerald said.
	She turned to everyone.
	"Listen, Mewthree get's all his powers from the Black Crystal. It's way up 
there." she said and pointed to a tall tower.
	She pointed to some stairs.
	"Those stairs lead up to the crystal. If we can destroy it, Mewthree would 
lower his powers and become as strong as any psychic Poke'mon. After that, 
Mewthree could easily be destroyed. We need your three to go up and get that 
crystal and destroy it! The rest of us have to fight." Emerald said.
	"Us? But we have no Poke'mon to help." Misty said.
	Mewtwo and Mew flew at Mewthree. They were thrown back by him and into a 
wall. They crashed hard and looked beaten already.
	"You have to! It all depends on it!" cried Tigress.
	"We'll do it." Ash said.
	"We? I didn't agree to anything." Misty said with a shake of her head.
	Tigress turned to her in tears.
	"You have to and you will! Please Misty, we can't do it without you and... 
without you going with them. I beg of you. Just look around and see what 
Mewthree will do if he is not taken down." Tigress sobbed.
	Misty looked away and saw all her Poke'mon, Ash's, Brock's and the others 
go into a horrible battle with about a hundred Scales. Some were being hurt 
badly. She watched a Scale scratch Gato. She was dwon. The Scale leap at her. 
Gato was fast and moved. She was hurt but continued to fight. Misty looked back 
and Tigress. Tears still in her eyes and streaming down her face.
	"Misty! Are you coming?" asked Ash.
	She turned and saw Brock and Ash on Wind Dancer. She smiled and got on the 
flying horse.
	"I promise that we'll destroy that crystal for you, Tigress." Misty told 
her friend.
	Tigress nodded and wipe tears.
	"And I promise I'll regain something for you that I took away." she 
whispered back.
	Misty didn't answer because Wind Dancer flapped her strong, feathery 
wings. She took off and towards the castle. Mewtwo and Mew saw there plan and 
were up. Mewthree saw them. A black psychic ball of energy was thrown at them. 
It was pushed away by a blue one.
	"You want to fight! Come and fight!" Mewthree yelled with rage at the two 
others.
	He flew at them and hit them hard with Mega Punch, which was just blocked 
by there shields. He did, however, punch them back into the wall and they 
crashed into it again. Wind Dancer and the trainers made it to the tower and 
went into the window there. The Black Crystal floated under some glass. Ash went 
for it. He lifted the glass and was about to take it when someone else grabbed 
it. He looked up startled to see Ray. She took the crystal and held it to her.
	"This is my fight and I will fight it as Mewthree is." she said.
	"Are you insane!? You'll lose!" cried Ash.
	"Don't underestimate your power." came Saraya's voice.
	She stepped up to him.
	"That's what you told me. Let mommy show her power." Saraya said.
	Ash nodded. They both turned and disappeared into the darkness.
	"Ash! How could you let them?" cried Brock.
	"They have there own reason's." Ash said.
	Suddenly, the tower shook.
	"Get out of there!" cried Persia from outside.
	"Let's go Wind Dancer!" Ash called.
	Wind Dancer flapped hard. Little rocks fell and became big ones. Wind 
Dancer dodged them with all her might. They were all most out when a huge rock 
hit them. They were thrown out. Wind Dancer did a flip and Ash and friends fell 
off. They hit the ground with a hard and sickening thud. Wind Dancer was able to 
land on her hooves. She nudged Misty. She got up and tried to stand up but got 
pain in her right leg and collapsed to the floor. Ash was at her side fast.
	"The rock must have hit you." he said.
	Misty began to get up again. Ash helped her and she sort of pushed him 
away.
	"I can stand by myself, thanks." she said.
	She could but not very well. She staggered forward and fell. Ash caught 
her in his arms. They both blushed.
	"I don't think so." Ash said.
	Brock came over to them. He pointed to the arena.
	"We didn't do that right at all." he whispered.
	They all watched as Mew and Mewtwo were thrown into the wall again. They 
both fell to the ground from the wall, lifeless. They both had gotten a bad 
beating. Ash saw Mewthree wasn't touched. He looked down at the battle. Scale's 
collapsed and so did Poke'mon. Pretty soon, all most all the Poke'mon, good and 
bad, were down. Mewthree saw Wind Dancer and the three friends standing. Emerald 
and her friends ran to them.
	"Why didn't you destroy it!?" Ruby cried.
	"Well, the Poke'mon Queen stopped us." Ash said simply.
	"She what?" asked Emerald.
	"Hey Mewthree! Your looking for the wrong fight!" came Ray's voice.
	Mewthree got the look of fear in his raging eyes as he turned. He looked 
down and saw her. The Poke'mon Queen. Her white dress flapped agasin her. The 
other queens and her daughter were with her. Mewthree clenched a fist.
	"You are no match for me." he growled.
	"I'm more than." Ray shot back.
	Mewtwo and Mew floated above Ash and his friends.
	"We can't fight anymore. It's up to them." Mewtwo said.
	"We'll see who is more than who." snarled Mewthree.
	He raised his clawed hands. All the Scale's that were down got up. Good as 
new. All the other Poke'mon were up and backed away.
	"You have to battle my Scales before you get me." he challenged with a sly 
smile.
	Ray nodded to her friends. Saraya ran to Ash and stood beside him.
	"Do you thing they'll win Ash?" she asked.
	"I hope." was all Ash could say.
	"Well, what's it going to be? Are you going to fight?" asked Mewthree with 
an evil smile.
	"You think were going to back out, don't you?" asked May.
	"More or less. Of course I do. You must have enough since to know when 
your going to lose." Mewthree sneered.
	"Your wrong! Your the loser! Queens, power up! Battle mode!" cried Ray.
	She raised her staff in the air.
	"Be sorry, Mewthree, that you every destroyed my life!" cried Ray.
	The wind picked up and everyone watched in awe. Mel help up her staff. The 
golden Charizard glowed.
	"Poke'mon Fire Power!" she cried.
	All the fire Poke'mon turned towards the staff. There eye's flashed red. 
They opened all there mouths and shot fire in a powerful Flamethrower attacks. 
Vulpix, Ninetales, Growlithe, Arcanine, Fireburn, Charizard and all the other 
fire types. The flame was suck into Mel's staff. She let it go and it glowed 
brighter gold. It floated in the air beside her and suddenly engulfed her with 
flames. Flame surrounded Mel like a wildfire. Her red dress disappeared and the 
fire spun around her, starting from her feet. Red, high-heel shoes appeared on 
her feet as the fire spun around her body. It spun and made a red, ruffled skirt 
that way above her knees. It was connected with a white suit that had a red bow 
on the middle. A pink heart was in the middle of the bow as the fire went up. 
The suit had two red pieces of cloth near her neck. They had white strips going 
down the middle. Her jet black hair flowed around her but was never hurt by the 
flame. The flame went up and made white gloves that stopped at the elbow on both 
arms. They were lined with red rings that stopped the gloves. The fire spun 
around her neck and a red choker appeared on her neck with a yellow star in the 
middle. The fire disappeared into embers and flowed behind her and created 
another bow. It flowed up to her forehead and made a metal band appeared across 
her forehead. A red diamond in the middle appeared and glowed red. the fire 
disappeared into the red diamond. Mel stood on the ground and her staff fell to 
her. She caught it in her right hand. Everyone stared. The Scales still stood 
there ground and growled. Three began to back away. Lita lifted her staff in the 
air. Her golden Pikachu glowed.
	"Electric Poke'mon Power!" she called.
	All the electric Poke'mon's eyes flashed yellow. They turned to her and 
used an electric attack. The staff took in the lightning and Lita let it got. It 
floated beside her and burst with blue lightning bolts. Her dark green dress 
disappeared and the lightning bolts started at her feet and did the same as with 
Mel's fire. Dark green boots appeared with high-heels. they stopped at her 
ankle. The lightning circled still and made her a green ruffled skirt with 
connected too a white clothing. It made a big green bow in the middle with a 
pink heart in the middle of the bow. the lightning made her white gloves like 
Mel's that also ended in green circles. A dark green choker appeared on her neck 
with a golden star in the middle. The lightning formed her bow on the back and 
her golden metal band on her forehead with a dark green diamond, her lightning 
bolts disappeared into it. She stood on the ground and caught her staff in her 
right hand. Her brown air flowing. More Scales began to back away. Mewthree 
growled. Nina held up her staff and it glowed with golden light.
	"Normal Poke'mon Power!" she yelled.
	All the normal Poke'mon's eyes flashed orange and turned to her. They used 
an attack that was long distance. Some sued Hyper Beam and others used Ray, a 
new Poke'mon attack. Gato used Ray and looked the most determined of all. Nina 
let her staff go and it floated next to her. Orange stars spun around her. 
Orange high-heel shoes appeared and her orange ruffled skirt. A orange bow with 
a pink heart in the middle appeared in the middle of her front outfit. She wore 
the same gloves that stopped with orange circles. Her long, blond hair blew 
around her as her orange bow in the back appeared. Her orange choker appeared 
with a yellow star in the middle. Her golden, metal band appeared around her 
forehead with a orange diamond in the middle. Her stars disappeared into it. She 
stood on the ground and caught her staff. Even more Scales backed away. Mewthree 
also floated back a little. Amy raised her staff and it glowed.
	"Water Poke'mon Power!" she cried out.
	All the water Poke'mon's eye's flashed dark blue. They turned and used 
Water Gun. After the staff took it, she let it go and water spun around her. She 
also wore high-heel shoes that were blue. The water made a dark blue ruffled 
skirt. A dark blue bow with a heart appeared in the same place as the others. A 
dark blue bow appeared on her back and the same white gloves with dark blue 
circles as the end appeared. A dark blue choker appeared with a yellow star in 
the middle. A metal band that was gold and had a dark blue diamond in the middle 
appeared. The water was sucked into the diamond. Her dark blue air flowed as she 
caught her staff. Still, more Scale's backed away. Blaze held her staff high and 
it glowed.
	"Ice Poke'mon Power!" she called out loud.
	All the ice Poke'mon and the Poke'mon with ice attacks looked at her as 
there eye's flashed icy blue. They all used there Ice Beam's. Tiger's and 
Articuno's was the most powerful. She let her staff go and again, ice spun 
around her, making her icy blue boots that stopped below her knees and her icy 
blue ruffled skirt. A icy blue bow with a pink heart appeared along with white 
gloves that ended in icy blue circles. A icy blue bow appeared behind her as her 
icy blue choker appeared with a yellow star. A metal band formed around her 
forehead with an icy blue diamond in the middle. The ice disappeared into it. 
Her icy blue hair was beautiful as she caught her staff. Scales backed away 
whimpering. Everyone was speechless and there eyes were glued to the next girl. 
May raised her staff.
	"Grass Poke'mon Power!" she yelled out.
	All the grass Poke'mon turned to her and there eyes flashed grass green. 
They all used there Razor Leaf attacks. The staff swallowed it and May let it 
go. Leaves spun around her and created normal, grass green shoes. A grass green 
ruffled skirt appeared along with a grass green bow with a pink heart in the 
middle. A grass green bow appeared behind her with her grass green choker that 
had a yellow star in the middle. Her grass green hair blew as her metal band 
appeared with  grass green diamond in the middle. The leaves disappeared. She 
caught her staff and stood tall. More Scales backed away. Only a few were left. 
Erika raised her staff.
	"Psychic Poke'mon Power!" she said as loud as she could.
	Psychic Poke'mon used there powers as there eyes flashed purple once and 
then stopped. Even Mew and Mewtwo helped. Mewthree fought and won to. The 
psychic energy was gulped and Erika let the staff go. Purple energy spun around 
her and made her normal purple shoes. A purple ruffled skirt appeared with her 
purple bow that had a pink heart in the middle. A purple bow appeared behind her 
and so did her white gloves which stopped with purple rings. Her purple choker 
appeared that had a yellow star in the middle. Her black hair flowed as her 
metal band appeared with a purple diamond in the middle. She caught her staff 
and looked at the rest of the Scales with an icy stare. The one's left backed 
away. Mewthree was raged. Saraya left Ash's side and ran to her mommies side. 
Ray lifted her staff.
	"All Poke'mon Power!" they both shouted together.
	They were transformed like that. Water, Fire and all other attacks hit 
them. Red boots that stopped below Ray's knee appeared. They were high-heeled. 
Ray had a ruffled skirt that was lined with blue at the end and disappeared into 
red. She had a red bow in the middle with a pink heart in the middle of the bow. 
A red bow appeared behind her and a red choker with a yellow star appeared. A 
gold metal band appeared with a white diamond in the middle. Saraya also 
changed. She had the same boots as Ray but they were pink. Her ruffled skirt was 
pink and yellow and her bow was pink in the front and back with no heart. A gold 
band appeared that had a pink diamond in the middle. Ray caught her staff and 
stood tall. her golden hair flowed. The Scales whimpered.  
	"Cowards! Fight them!" he shouted.
	The Scales all bared their teeth and leaped.

Chapter 5
The Tears of Love




	Mel got a mad look on her face. She raised her staff and her red diamond 
glowed.
	"Fire Power Attack!" she cried.
	She pointed her staff at some Scales. Her red diamond glowed and shot fire 
into her staff. Her staff shot the fire out at the Scales. Some were destroyed. 
Lita raised her staff in the air.
	"Lightning Rode!" she yelled.
	Lightning struck the staff. She then pointed it at the Scales. Some again 
were killed. Nina's diamond glowed.
	"Normal Power Surround!" she said in a loud voice.
	Her diamond shot a yellow beam out and surrounded about ten Scales. It 
closed them in and killed them in a second. Amy raised her staff.
	"Aqua Freeze!" she called out.
	She pointed her staff at some Scales. Sparkling water was shot out and it 
hit a lot of Scales. They were frozen. The ice broke and the Scales fell dead. 
Blaze raised her staff.
	"Icy Take Down! she called out loud.
	She shot a blue beam out her staff at the Scales. Twenty were surrounded 
in an icy wall. The wall closed in very fast and hit the Scales, they were dead. 
May's diamond and staff glowed.
	"Leaves of Sunlight!" she shouted.
	Leaves poured our of her staff like razors. They cut a lot of Scales and 
they were down. She pointed her staff in another direction and a sunlight ray 
hit some Scales. Gone! Erika closed her eyes and raised her staff.
	"Psychic Energy Blast!" she yelled out.
	Purple energy exploded from her staff. That killed most of the Scales. 
Saraya's diamond glowed.
	"Power of the Poke'mon!" she called.
	A pink ray shot out her diamond. It suddenly turned into fire, water, 
leaves, electricity, ice, psychic energy and wind. That killed all the Scales. 
Everyone just watched as they all stood, holding there staffs. Ash and Misty 
then realized they had held each other the whole time since Misty had tripped. 
They both let go and blushed. Suddenly, all the Poke'mon seemed to collapse.
	"They've used all there energy helping the queens." Mewgirl said.
	Ray stepped forward and pointed her staff at Mewthree.
	"I will now fight you! You have no right to live!" she yelled.
	Saraya and the others backed away to Ash and his friends.
	"Cool powers." Brock told them.
	Lita smiled in return. They all looked at the battle. Ray shot a yellow 
beam from her staff. Mewthree shot a black beam but it was to late. He crashed 
into the wall. Suddenly, the Black Crystal floated down and into Mewthree. He 
floated up and his eye's glowed black. Ray was thrown back and into he wall, 
hard.
	"Mommy!" cried Saraya.
	Mewthree picked her up with psychic powers and threw her into another 
wall.
	"No!" cried Mel.
	Ray began to get up. Mewthree picked her up again and threw her into the 
floor. She was weak, but held on to the staff. Mewthree threw her again into yet 
another wall. She dropped her staff from that. Her outfit flashed and 
disappeared. She now wore her white dress again. Her battle powers were gone.
	"On-no! Mommy!" Saraya cried.
	She tried to run to her but Mew and stopped her.
	"Mew! Mewww! Mew!"
	Saraya wiped away a tear.
	"Okay." she told the Poke'mon.
	"Give up. You can't win." laughed Mewthree.
	Ray stood up and grabbed the staff. She pointed it at Mewthree.
	"That's what you think." she gasped.
	She shot a yellow beam. Mewthree shot a black beam and she was quickly 
over powered. She slammed back into the same wall. Mewthree laughed. She got up 
and shot another beam. Mewthree again shot a black beam. The two beams hit and 
began to push on one another. Mewthree was winning. Ray was struggling badly. 
Ash looked at her face.
	"More...power." she whispered.
	How? Was there a way? The it hit him. She didn't need power. He walked 
away from his friends and towards her. Pikachu and some of the other Poke'mon 
woke up from this. The others watched him. He came up next to her and placed his 
hand on the golden staff. The yellow beam glowed a little brighter and Mewthree 
worked a tiny bit harder. Ash put all his energy into it. Mel walked over and 
put her left hand on the staff. May and Nina did the same. Blaze and Amy soon 
joined in followed by Lita and then Erika. Each time there hands touched the 
staff or each other hands, the beam glowed brighter and stronger. Mewthree was 
beginning to weaken. He put more and more power into it and the black beam began 
to win again. Emerald, Ruby and Pichu did the same as everyone else. Misty and 
Brock walked over. Brock put his hand on Emerald's hand and Misty put her hand 
on Ash's. They looked at each other and blushed. Mewgirl, Tigress, Icy and 
Growly joined in. Persia, Sara, and Ember weren't far behind. The beam glowed 
stronger. Mewthree was now struggling. His beam grew brighter and bigger as 
well, but not as bigger. Tiger got up and walked over. He placed his paw on the 
hands. Pikachu hopped on Ash's shoulder and did the same. Gato sat on Misty's 
shoulder and placed her hand. Mew and Mewtwo floated over and placed there hand 
like paws on everyone else's. Wind Dancer came over and her jewel glowed red. 
She shot a red beam out it which was like a hand. The yellow beam grew and 
exploded in Mewthree's face. His black beam disappeared. He screamed as he was 
destroyed. Suddenly, everything was black for Ash and friends. When Misty a 
woke, everyone was on the ground. She sat up and so did Mel. The other's began 
to and one by one, they were up. Ray and the other queens held there staffs. 
Mewthree was gone and the Black Crystal lay on the ground.
	"Pika pi!"
	"Over here! Ash won't wake up!" cried Tiger.
	Everyone quickly looked over in the center of the arena were Ash's body 
lay. Tiger and Pikachu were with him. So was all his Poke'mon. Misty ran over to 
him and knelt beside him.
	"Ash? Please wake up! Ash?" she begged.
	"It's no use." Tiger said sadly.
	"No." Misty whispered.
	She turned away. Her eyes filled with tears. They streamed down her face.
	"Ash..." she sobbed.
	Mel sniffed as tears ran down her face. May, Blaze and the others began to 
cry. Emerald, Tigress and there friends also shed tears. Suddenly, Misty's tears 
sparkled and floated from her face. They sparkled like crystals in the light. 
Ray lifted her staff and the tears went into them. All the tears. Mel's, May's, 
Tiger's, Pikachu's, Charizard's, Saraya's and all the others. Even Ray's tears. 
Mew's and Mewtwo's tears joined in along with all the other Poke'mon. After all 
the tears were go into the staff, Ray gentle tapped it on Ash's arm. The tears 
surrounded him and twinkled in the light. Misty reached down and took his hand. 
The tears then sparkled around them both. Brock smiled. It was Misty's tears 
that had saved him. The tears them shimmered and disappeared. Misty removed her 
hand. Suddenly, the Black Crystal glowed. Black light fell out of it and went 
for Ray. She pointed her staff at it and shot a yellow beam. It pushed the black 
beam back and made it disappear. The Black Crystal exploded in a million pieces. 
Suddenly, Ray dropped her staff. It clattered to the floor and echoed through 
the castle.
	"It was my fault." she whispered.
	"What was?" asked Mewtwo.
	"The second person to touch my staff while in use will become.... will 
have no energy left. Dead." she whispered.
	"But... no." Misty said.
	"He needs life to live." Amy said.
	"Someone must give there life." Blaze said.
	"Who?" asked Brock.
	"I will." came a small voice.
	Everyone turned to see Tigress.
	"No! Don't!" Emerald cried.
	Tigress walked to Misty and smiled.
	"I promised I would give you back the thing you lost. I took it away, I 
will give it back." she told her.
	"No don't! It's not worth your life." Misty protested.
	"Is yours worth never to have his love again?"
	Misty's eyes watered and she looked away.
	"Still, he wouldn't want you to give your life for him." Misty said 
softly.
	Tigress didn't answer. Instead, she placed a hand on Ash's arm. She looked 
over and nodded to Erika. Erika raised her staff and it glowed.
	"Life Transfer!" she said reluctantly.
	 She shot a purple beam at Tigress from her staff and it hit her. Everyone 
watched in horror as she screamed. A white light came from her body and into 
Ash's.
	"No Tigress!" Misty cried.
	Too late. Her body collapsed to the ground. Emerald turned away and Icy 
broke down into tears. Ash stirred. He sat up and looked at Misty.
	"What.... happened?" he asked.
	Misty turned to him, tears in her eyes. She pulled him close and kissed 
him. Not a little kiss, a deep kiss. Pikachu sniffed and hugged Gato tightly.
	"Not again! Get away from me you weirdo!" she cried.
	Tiger and Gray Wolf smiled and so did everyone else. Even though some were 
crying. Ray lifted her staff and a white glow lifted Tigress's body.
	"My you live as a real human in the real world and find love again. You 
shall be reborn. I bless you with this wish." she said.
	With that, Tigress disappeared. Ray set her staff on the ground and nodded 
to the others. The other queens and her daughter stood near her. Misty and Ash 
parted and both blushed the worst they every would. Misty looked away but kept 
her eyes on Ash. She smiled and Ash smiled back. Mewtwo, Mew and Wind Dancer 
joined them. Ray waved her staff and lifted them into the air. Ash and Misty 
stoo up and looked at them all in the air.  Brock and there Poke'mon watched as 
well.
	"Thank you Ash for finding my mommy and helping me! I'll never forget you, 
even if you forget me!" she said with a wave.
	"Mewww!"
	Mew waved back at Saraya.
	"Not you Mew!" Saraya said.
	"Mew?" 
	"Good-bye and take carry!" Mel called out.
	"We'll miss you!" cried Nina.
	"Best of luck to your quest!" May yelled.
	"Always remember you heart is what matters!" Erika called.
	"Friends forever!" called Amy.
	"Never look back!" Lita said with a wink.
	"Take good care now!" shouted Blaze.
	"You all have helped us bet Mewthree and discovered inner strength. I am 
sorry to do this, but it is best a secret." Ray said as her staff glowed.
	"Be safe my friends." Mewtwo said.
	Wind Dancer tossed her head with a neigh.
	"What are you doing?" asked Ruby.
	"What about Tigress?" sobbed Icy.
	"To heal pain and all that had happened, I take you back from were it 
started. Whatever you remember, remember this Ash, you have the best of friends 
with you always. You should always value them as if it was there last day with 
you. For now, I bid fare well." said Ray.
	She waved her staff and everything flashed white.


*		*		*

	"Boy, what a nice storm." Gato said while sitting from Misty's lap.
	"Yeah. But I don't think it'll let up soon." Brock said with worry.
	"It has been going on for a while. That's all right. We'll just spend the 
night here." Ash said.
	"Pika!"
	"I knew that was coming." Misty sighed.
	There fire glowed brightly. As the rain poured, Ash suddenly remember 
someone's words that said,
	" Ash, you have the best of friends with you always. You should always 
value them as if it was there last day with you."  
	He shook his head clear and nodded. Guess I will, he thought. With that, 
they all fell asleep. They remembered nothing. Emerald and her friends, Poison, 
Pixie, Saraya, Tigress's kiss to Ash, Mewthree, the battle, Ray, the other 
queen's and Ash and Misty's kiss. It was a new beginning for them. As for 
Tigress, she would never be forgotten. She was a hero and a hero she will stay, 
forever.
