" Where the hell is Lance?" Cynthia screamed as she leaped to the side, just in time to avoid a poison-sting attack from an enraged Drapion. Garchomp swung past her, slashing the poison-type with his fin, before throwing a dragon pulse right on its face, as the dragon held Cynthia in her arms and leaped off the ground, arriving right in time to deflect a shadow ball that would have hit Steven from the right.

"Thanks." Steven breathed, his knee still hurt and bleeding like hell. The man looked like he had suddenly aged by ten years, as he dodged another burst of lightning from an attacking Magnemite before Skarmory banished him with one of her countless steel wings.

"Did Lance send any message?" Cynthia asked, directing Garchomp to help Skarmory and Metagross.

"Not yet. Lance and the Ace Team are unresponsive and off the grid. Besides, the psychic barrier is preventing all kinds of communication." Steven replied, his voice hoarse.

"Are you ready to finally surrender, Steven Stone?" Proton, who had a cut right across his face, snarled at him.

"You wish." Steven shot back.

Proton laughed aloud. A cold, cruel laugh filled with refined cruelty. "Your Champion has been dealt with. Lance, cannot come for anyone's help."

Steven's eyebrows widened. "You lie!"

"Do I?" Proton sneered. "Very well. I suppose if my words cannot convince you, see for yourself, the sight of your annihilation." He brazenly pointed high up in the night sky, as the Elite trainers followed his direction.

There, levitating in the night sky, was a humanoid creature, with his bulb-like tail waving softly in the night breeze. Despite the shadow, Steven could make out the shroud of armor all around the entity, as it watched the ship from its vantage point.

"The armored pokémon." Steven breathed with raw desperation, fear, and helplessness. Did Lance… did this pokémon kill Lance?

The shock of seeing the armored creature gave Proton the opening he wanted. Swirling his whip, he lashed out towards Cynthia, aiming to decapitate her, only for a sudden blur to push her aside, as the whip stuck rough skin.

" Thanks Garchomp" She said as she glared at Garchomp but no command was needed. Proton was still grinning devilishly, before his grin faltered, as a thin line of blood was visible on his neck, which then fell off, rolling on the floor, as his body stood lifeless, before joining its fallen part. Both Cynthia and Steven were too shocked to notice what had happened, though Metagross's eyes glowed a soft blue before turning pitch dark like always.

The Armoured Pokemon stopped as it glanced at the deck of the ship.

" Hmm, How is that possible ?!... Intriguing; this aura, this spirit still shines brighter than everyone even my partner. Who are you? "

Cynthia's Garchomp however, had other ideas. The draconic creature let out a howl, gathering an immense amount of draconic energy into its maw before releasing it all in the form of an orange mass, one that would reach high up in the air before releasing its most devastating attack.

Draco Meteor

Mewtwo watched with curiosity as the orange blob shot higher and higher into the atmosphere, before slowing down, before it finally settled in the air, hovering for a while, as it changed color into one of blazing silver, as it fractured into several blobs, one that looked like tiny meteors, which were projected towards Mewtwo. With a lazy thought, Mewtwo simply redirected the attack down towards the water, taking out a couple of Team Rocket submarines as well.

They were after all, inferior, pathetic. Worms in the face of the superior species.

" Draco meteor. Interesting attack." Mewtwo's voice, amplified exponentially spoke to them. After all, when the Lord speaks, everyone must be given the chance to listen. I believe I am an attentive student. Let us see how good I learned that attack.

His lips twisted into a tiny smirk, as he channeled his assimilated power, one that he had slowly, diligently, gathered within him over the past couple of months, shaping them into draconic energy, as he recreated a vast orange globule in the sky, at least a hundred times larger than Garchomp's had been. Then, he allowed the orange blob to slowly levitate up in the sky, and go higher and higher, before it stopped.

Then, it slowly morphed into a silvery white color, its light enveloping the moon in sheer intensity.

" I love this part about meteors. The purity of them, Boom, the end… start again. The world made clean for the new man… to rebuild."

The brimming vortex of draconic energy then burst open with a single explosion, as countless Draco meteors shone in the night sky, ready to fall upon the SS. Anne, and send it to its doom.

Austin stood inside the deck glaring at the sadistically grinning Arianna. 

Austin was forced to bring out all his pokemon.

Bulbasaur was on the front lines as he could absorb the poison from Arianna's pokemon with Squirtle and Pidgeot providing support.

Pikachu meanwhile was on the back as he protected his trainer who was trying to heal Raticate with a few potions he had on him but it wasn't working why.

Wasn't this the a healing potion ?

Raticate's health was back but the poison wasn't going away even when he used Poison heal on her.

Austin rummaged through his bag to finding anything that could him but he didn't find anything.

" Hehehe, you think a normal Poison heal is going to work. A poison potion is to heal against general poisons. Your Raticate has been poisoned by Qwillfish, if you want to heal her then you would need a special antidote." Arianna taunted Austin with a laugh. 

Austin felt his heart sink as he heard those words.

" Time is clicking boy, in 15 minutes your Raticate will be dead." Arianna's words hit Austin and his pokemon like a sledgehammer on a nail.

' The....then I just have to defeat you and get help.' Austin whispered to himself as he was trying to find a way out of this dire situation.

But his mind was going blank. 

He didn't know what to do.

Raticate's body glowed with a red light as the ability guts showed effect.

" Raticate !" Raticate screamed out as she shot towards Arianna with Quick Attack.

Arianna smirked as she snapped as Ariados appeared between them.

Raticate spun mid air as she used iron tail on the water that was filling up the floor.

Raticate's mouth sparked before Arianna's eyes widened as she let out a surge of electricity that surged through her, Arbok, Ariados and Qwillfish the attack amplified by the water around them, knocking her and her Pokemon out.

Squirtle was quick enough to erect a protect barrier between them and Arianna.

Austin breathed heavily as he saw Raticate's condition. Most of her fur was gone showing multiple degrees of burns covering her body.

A few tears had left Austin's eyes as he looked at his Raticate.

You fool, your the trainer who should have led the team but you didn't and now Raticate is critically injured.

Austin's negative thoughts were cut off as the ship broke apart with the hundreds of Draco Meteors raining down on it.

The Decks that Austin was standing on broke apart into two.

Austin didn't even try to save Arianna as she and her pokemon fell into the waters bellow.

Austin finally had a view of the outside from his broken deck as his eyes gazed in untold horror as he witnessed hundreds of Draco meteors high up in the sky, almost on the verge of finishing their trajectory upwards before they would fall onto the SS. Anne.

No one, no one will be able to stand against that much power.

No one.

Austin's eyes widened as he saw the one thing that he didn't want to see out of everyone in the world right now.

Covered in armour was the legendary Pokémon, Mewtwo.

Out of everyone, he knew just how powerful Mewtwo was.

Austin had a bitter look on his face as he gazed at his Pokemon.

They were tired and injured and some were even in critical condition.

His friends had been teleported away to God knows where.

Everything seemed hopeless as Austin tried to think of something.

Something that could save them.

Something that could ensure that they survive.

On the upper deck, Blue Oak battled through hundreds of grunts and their pokemon alongside Brock and the others.

" We are not leaving without Ash. " Brock exclaimed as they made it to the decks and there were on some of the remaining lifeboats.

He already forced Gold and Kris on one Life Boat having them take Yellow seeing an unconscious Rudy on it knowing that they would meet up with them in the nearby island Porta Vista and Misty was with him having found her Starmie while they were running.

" Don't worry I am going to find Ash," Blue said as he knew he had to save them and these kids were too stubborn to see the situation they were in as he carried an unconscious Looker along with Green and Gary.

' Red, if only you were here.' Blue bitterly thought.

The two of them piled into the lifeboat with Green jumping in after them, placing Looker in the ship before Brock let the boat fall.

"Staryu! Goldeen! Starmie comes on out." Misty said sending her water Pokemon out to help push the Lifeboat, along with Gary's Wartortle.

As the kids escaped the sinking SS. Anne, Blue turned back towards the ship his eyes burning with anger.

Just how many people died because of this?

Team Rocket will pay.
