Chapter 5- BEGIN! Rocket Assault!
~It’s been several days since I’ve joined
Team Rocket, and despite being a bad guy, it’s actually been pretty fun. I mean
it’s the first time in ages I’ve been going against enemies of the normal kind,
and NOT the superhuman genre. Now that I’m the new 001, the first objective is
complete, and the target is in our sight… yet one very loud and annoying
obstacle blocks my way… an obstacle named Aquamarine, out to kill me… again. I
swear… the guy needs a new hobby…
-Ash
Ketchum
(Location- Team Rocket HQ)
“ASH KETCHUM! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!” Aquamarine
shouted
“A-AQUAMARINE!” Ash gasped, nearly choking on the
doughnut, “WA!” he exclaimed as Aquamarine’s fist came down and smashed the
table in two, hitting the floor and shattering the tiles, “Grr!” Ash growled,
jumping back and equipping QuickSilver…!
“CORAL CUDGEL!” Aquamarine roared…
CLANG!
“Argh!” Ash growled as he blocked, yet his whole
body slid back, “Ow…!” he gasped, his arm trembling. The shock alone from that
weapon hurt his arms…
“Ash Ketchum… I never should have let you lived!
As if stealing Misty wasn’t enough, NOW YOU’VE PUT HER LIFE IN DANGER!” Aquamarine
roared and attacked again fiercely! He kicked Ash in the face, causing the
trainer to reel back… he lifted the harpoon gun to his face and pulled the
trigger…!
“AH!” Ash quickly let himself fall back, just
missing the harpoon as it flew and tore through more tables. Aquamarine pressed
a button and reeled it back in
“That poison killing Misty… it’s all because of
you!” Aquamarine growled
“What do you mean?”
“JAVELIN RAIN!” Aquamarine leapt into the air and
threw dozens of javelins down. Ash yelped as he grabbed a table and lifted it
high over his head, shielding himself.
“HA!!” Ash shouted, throwing the table at
Aquamarine, which the fiend simply smashed as he landed. Ash suddenly darted
forward and struck him directly in the face with his armoured right fist!
Aquamarine gasped and stumbled back, but returned the favour, smashing against
Ash’s head with his own fist! Aquamarine let out a savage roar, as he continued
hitting Ash fiercely, continuously striking him against the face and gut. Ash
stumbled, stunned by the pain, but he wasn’t gonna go down. “SILVER BULLET!!”
Ash shouted as he swung his arm and the boosters flared increasing the strength
even further…! “NO!” he gasped when Aquamarine evaded it!
-THUNK-
“AH…” Ash’s eyes opened wide, when he felt the
full strength of the fiend’s fist smash into his stomach… “S… strong…!” he
gasped, but Aquamarine wasn’t done yet. The fiend roared and he smashed Ash and
sent him flying
“You call dare call yourself her lover? You dare
call yourself a MAN?!” Aquamarine snarled. Ash groaned and got up.
“(Urgh… this
is bad…!)” Ash growled… though he had grown a lot stronger than before,
Aquamarine was still stronger than him…! “SILVER BULLET!” Ash aimed his arm
forwards, the QuickSilver flared as he shot forwards, towards Aquamarine…
smashing into him and sending him flying, crashing through many tables and
chairs
“Grr” Aquamarine emerged from the pile of tables.
Growling, he drew his coral weapon and darted forward, “CORAL CUDGEL!”
Aquamarine swung it
WHAM!
Ash fell to the ground, floor when hit by the
coral mace, and Aquamarine growled, stepping on his neck… “GRRR…!” Ash pointed
the QuickSilver at Aquamarine’s face and pulled a built-in trigger…
BOOM!
“NGH!” Aquamarine gasped when a nitro ball was
fired. He had just evaded it, but barely, as it hit the ceiling and exploded.
Ash immediately sprung to his feet and swung his fist, striking Aquamarine and
sending him flying. “Urgh… No doubt about it, Ketchum. You HAVE gotten strong…”
he growled, taking his fighting stance…
“In more ways than you could imagine,
HAAAAAAA!!!!!” Ash charged at him…
“RHAAA!!!” Aquamarine charged towards Ash…
The two of them fought
with incredible speed, strength and skill! Attacking one another fiercely,
trading blows, neither of them was willing to give up…!
“HMM!” The two of them
jumped back… both of them panting and hurt…
“Urgh…” Ash growled, struggling to stand. His
body was in pain… “(Gah… he’s too strong…!)” Ash gasped mentally…!
Though he put up a good fight, it was clear which one of them was stronger!
Aquamarine was winning…!
“(He’s grown so much stronger…)”
Aquamarine thought to himself, trying to block out the pain he felt in his own
body. “(From the battle in the forest… in that period of time, he’s grown
this much? How is that possible?)”
He began to growl. No… he had a job to do, and part of it included eliminating
Ash… “HAAAAAA!”
“Huh?!” Ash exclaimed as Aquamarine dashed
forwards with lightning speed
SMACK!
“AGH!” Ash took a heavy blow from the elbow in
his face. He stumbled back a few steps, but straightened up and looked, but
Aquamarine was gone!
“Behind you!” Aquamarine shouted. He standing
behind Ash. Before Ash could react, Aquamarine kicked back of his legs and made
him trip
“AH!” Ash fell and hit his head. He gasped at
what he saw when he looked up
“CORAL CUDGEL!” Aquamarine swung the weapon down
to his head…
CRACK!
The floor smashed open. Lucky for Ash he moved
his head, because that blow would be lethal. “HA!” Ash attacked Aquamarine with
all his strength. Ash advanced, showering the Super Fiend with a flurry of
powerful kicks and punches, and Aquamarine was defending himself, backing off…
“Grr…!” Aquamarine growled at Ash’s fierce
attacks. “You’re good… BUT I’M BETTER!!!” He roared, slamming Ash and attacking
fiercely. Aquamarine was throwing everything he had, smashing Ash with
countless powerful blows, they weren’t stopping! “HAA!!!” He spun around and
kicked Ash across the face…
“Ngh…!” Ash gasped, dazed… he fell to the ground.
Aquamarine had won.
“Ash Ketchum…” Aquamarine stepped over to Ash and
grabbed him by the front of the shirt. Bending down, Aquamarine pulled Ash up
with one hand, and held the harpoon gun to his face, his finger over the
trigger. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t spike your brain and scatter
your guts all over the room right now?”
“Ugh…” Ash was dazed, but he shook it off, “Agh…
Why are you trying to kill me?”
“Because I hate you…” Aquamarine tightened his
grip on the harpoon gun, “You stole Misty from me… the one person who matters
most. That’s not all, but the way everything just conveniently falls into your
lap… You’re so weak and pathetic, slow and stupid! Look how you had just lost
to me! You can’t even defend your own honour, much less protect her!”
“So then what are you trying to prove by
attacking me?” asked Ash
“You remember when that poisonous dart was shot?”
He asked, “Instead of taking it like a man, you had to let MISTY be the one to
take a projectile intended for you! Now she’s on the verge of death, and I
won’t allow this insolence to go unpunished!”
“Then if you wanna to ‘punish insolence’ then
don’t come after me, but attack the freaking guys who freaking DID this to her,
you freaking idiot!” Ash shouted
“…My god! You’re right!” Aquamarine exclaimed,
letting Ash go. He turned around and started walking away, turning his head to
Ash one last time, “Sorry, gotta go now, got some Kaisers to kill. Instead you
can just stew in the knowledge that someday I WILL come back to kill you… but
for now… bye” he left the room.
“Whew… lucky for me he’s stupid…” Ash sighed in
relief… thankful that Aquamarine was stupider than him… however, he was also
that much stronger than him as well. “I have to get stronger… because next time
I don’t think I can talk my way out of this…” Ash sighed, stepping out into the
hallway,
“Um, what happened here?”
Everyone sweatdropped when they looked down the
hall. The floor was littered with the bodies of Team Rocket members, some of
them had their faces embedded into the wall. One guy even hung unconscious by
his shirt to a ceiling fan. This path of destruction ended at the end of the
hallway, where an Aquamarine-sized hole could be seen in the wall.
“That’s Aquamarine’s handiwork” said Bonsai, “And
by the looks of it, he was in a particularly bad mood. The fight didn’t have
anything to do with Misty, did it?”
“Uh-huh” Ash nodded
“That explains it” AntiArctic and Goth appeared
“Tell me, is Aquamarine always this insane?”
Asked
“Hmph… that sort of talk you’d only hear in this
generation… you’re all too soft. Thanks to that pokémon league, fighting has
become nothing but a game, and actual warriors are near extinction. It’s sad
how the flow of time can be so cruel…” Goth shook his head as he sank into the
shadows again, vanishing from sight
“What’s with him?” asked Ash
“Meh, he just hasn’t gotten used to the way
things work in the present era” said Bonsai, crossing his arms, “Though there
is some truth in what he says, how strong people like us are practically
nonexistent in this age”
“What do you mean? How old is he?” Asked
“Well… none of us are sure exactly how old he is,
but he stopped aging very, VERY long time ago. We found him entombed in a crypt
and he’s been with us ever since” Bonsai sighed. “The undead… they can be
really depressing you know…”
“Okay…” Ash sweatdropped at the knowledge that
Goth wasn’t just dead-looking, but actually dead. He quickly changed the
subject, “Let’s move on before Giovanni comes. I’m on his good side, and I
don’t want to change it by being seen around this mess. Might hold us
responsible and make us hang around and clean it up…” he said as they all
walked off to a more private spot. It was about time they talk to Ebi again
***
(Location- G.I. Jolt’s HQ)
BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP
Ebi reached over to the transceiver phone
“Hello?”
“EBI!” Ash’s voice called, “This is Ash!
(CRRRR…)”
“Ash! You’re still alive? I didn’t think you were
gonna survive Aquamarine!” said Ebi
“Very funny. But who told you I fought him? How
do you know about this?”
“It’s my job.” Ebi simply replied, “You worried
about him getting stronger?”
“Well… yeah… but I mean… it’s not like I’m really
in trouble, am I?”
“If you’d think about it, how many times did he
say he was gonna kill you?”
“Um…” Ash thought back. There was that time when
he was on the roof spying on them, and realised that the one he was following
was Ash Ketchum…
“ASH KETCHUM! You’ve done some
damage, but THIS CROSSES THE LINE! You may have beaten Doppelganger, but I’m
stronger in EVERY WAY! ASH KETCHUM! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!” He crushed the
binoculars to pieces. As he dropped the pieces, he sighed, “Ugh… I have GOT to
stop doing that. This is how I lost my cell phone, my pokédex, my gameboy, and
this is why I have to get up to change channels…”
Then there was that time when Ash called him
Misty’s idiot stalker…
“WHAT’D YOU CALL ME?!” Aquamarine
shouted, “THAT DOES IT! ASH KETCHUM! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!” he pulled out his
trident, “DEEP SKEWER!”
When he lost that time, and told the rest of the
Fiends that Ash won because he had a flying skateboard… in which case, everyone
was laughing at him…
“GRRR!” Aquamarine slammed the
phone shut. “Damn you Ash Ketchum! First you steal Misty, now you humiliate me
in the eyes of my team! GOD DAMMIT!” He slammed the wall with his fist, and the
wall began to crumble, “GRRR!” Aquamarine growled, (a tear in his eye,
clutching his now broken hand) “I swear… ASH KETCHUM! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!!”
Also when he and Ash first clashed in combat,
with Ash’s first rupture battle…
Aquamarine leapt into the air and dove
down with his trident towards Ash, “PREPARE YOURSELF! ASH KETCHUM! I’M GOING TO
KILL YOU!”
He said
those words twice that time.
Ash and Pikachu ran as fast as
they could, while Aquamarine was following closely, swinging that electrically
charged weapon through the air. “COME BACK SO I COULD KILL YOU, ASH KETCHUM!”
Then there was ALSO that time when Ash made it
look like Misty was waiting for him and got him to go away to that place,
namely
“AH…” Aquamarine gasped. Veins
became apparent on his forehead, and his eye started ticking, “Ash… Ketchum…”
he twitched, gripping the rock so tight, he crushed it into dues, “GRRRRRRAAAAAHHHH!!!!!”
He and roared, “ASH KETCHUM!!!!! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!”
KILL YOU! KILL YOU! KILL YOU… Aquamarine’s voice echoed over the horizon.
Then when they were about to enter Team Rocket HQ…
“That’s
for you to find out, four-eyes” Aquamarine said to himself as he stayed hidden,
“Correction, SEVEN of eight super fiends!” he laughed quietly. “You’re not the
only one who knows how to cure this poison! I’m gonna be the hero, I’m gonna
save Misty… and Kill Ash Ketchum!”
In the previous chapter, he smashed trough the
wall and made his message clear
“ASH KETCHUM!” Aquamarine shouted, “I AM
GOING TO KILL YOU!”
And then when he left during the fight…
“Sorry,
gotta go now, got some Kaisers to kill. Instead you can just stew in the
knowledge that someday I WILL come back to kill you… but for now… bye” he left
the room.
“So exactly how many times was it?” asked Ash
“Enough to be worried, (and why did you have to
have a flashback of that last one? It was like, five minutes ago!)” said Ebi
“So what did you call to talk about?”
“I’m calling to say that I’ve found the heal
sprout but can’t get to it. I don’t wanna wait for Misty’s condition to get
critical. I need a distraction to get to it!”
“Well then you’re in luck!” said Ebi, “Tell Gary
to ditch his disguise and Bonsai to get rid of that Rocket uniform, and you do
it too! Get AntiArctic and Goth to come out of hiding and cause some mayhem!
It’s time for the big battle, because we’re gonna bust in and do some major
damage, while you grab the heal sprout!”
“All right! Ash out! (BZZT!)” Ash turned off the
transceiver phone
“Amaebi, you’re planning on staying here with
Misty, right?” Ebi asked as he got up
“Right” she said
“That’s fine! I’ll be out for a while, kicking
some butt!” Ebi said as he got up
“You mean that we’re finally…?” Jolt spoke up
“That’s right! Prepare yourself for battle! It’s
the moment we’ve all been waiting for! Let the best part of Operation: Rocket
Crash begin!”
“ALL RIGHT!” They all cheered
***
(Location- Team Rocket HQ)
The alarms were ringing, red lights flashing,
there was chaos everywhere!
“This is Squad Four! We have an emergency! We are
under attack, I repeat, we are under attack! Squads five and thirteen have all
been eliminated!” An agent shouted into a communicator as his squad ran through
the hallways, “What’s going on? Why won’t you answer?!”
“It’s no use, they won’t respond…” a voice spoke
“What?!” Squad four turned around, and gasped
when they saw him appear… all of them gasped when they found themselves facing
the Icy Ninja, AntiArctic! “We have found an intruder! Requesting backup!” the
leader shouted, but was responded with nothing but static, “Respond…! RESPOND!
WHAT IS GOING ON!?”
“I told you, I’ve eliminated your communications
centre.” AntiArctic approached them, “Cut off the head, and there’s nothing to
control the body. Without communication, you’re lost.” He smiled nastily,
“Though if you really want to call help… you can always try screaming. Just
make sure to do it real loud…”
In less than a second, it was over. Before they
could move, before they could call for help or attempt to fight back, all of
the rockets collapsed to the ground, all of them had been taken out by the
ninja.
“Hmph, picking off these low-ranked agents has
gotten boring” AntiArctic glared at his defeated opponents. This was the third
security squad he alone had taken out. “I’m in the mood for some excitement!”
he immediately knew the place. The main battle arena was definitely the place
to go, as it was also the place where they usually gather in times of crisis.
That’s the place where he’d find some action! “Let’s go!” he darted forward,
moving quickly through the halls. Any random agents he encountered on the way
were immediately struck down, reaching the arena…
“I see we both had the same idea” Goth spoke as
he fought as he stood in the main of the ring, whirling his scythe through the
air with incredible skill and moving fast. Even against wave after wave of
opponents, none of them could even touch them, while a single hit from his
weapon could end your existence on earth! “The others will arrive soon, and as
when they do, it’ll be all over for Team Rocket!”
“Until then we’ll just have to keep fighting!”
AntiArctic darted forward and leapt into the air, practically flying as he spun
through the air and fought with a series of stunning acrobatics! “HYOKEN!” he
shouted as a thick layer of ice froze over his fist, as he evaded Hitmonchan’s
punches and slipped through its guard, striking it directly in the face!
Looking around, he could see a number of flying pokémon flying at him. “HM!”
Quickly he whipped out a number of thin, sharp weapons made of ice and threw
them at their wings, damaging them and making them fall. An Aggron lunged at
him from behind, but he didn’t even bother looking back, “Kogoeshinu” he said
simply, unsheathing his Ninja-to and stabbing behind him. Only the tip of the
blade penetrated the steel pokémon’s iron hide, but it was enough. Aggron
collapsed to the ground, shivering… its body encrusted with frost and insides
were close to frozen…
“EbiDex scan!” A voice called out

“Hmm?” AntiArctic looked back and saw Ebi. Along
with Ebi was Brock, Tracey, Cleft, Twin Dreamer and G.I. Jolt! “You’re here!!”
CRACK!
“RHAAA!!!” Cleft roared as he smashed the ground
with his fist, creating a massive shockwave, sending everyone around him
flying. “LET’S GO!” Each of the fiends charged forwards towards the hundreds of
Rocket Agents…
“Quickly! Go find Ash!” Ebi turned to Brock and
Tracey
“Right!” Brock said as he and Tracey began
running to find their comrade
***
(Location- Team Rocket Labs)
“It’s this way!” Ash said as they ran through the
labs, towards the Cybermew room
“This can’t be happening!” Giovanni’s voice
shouted. Ash,
“Giovanni sir, it can’t be helped. The swelling
on the brain is getting worse, and it will not survive!” the scientists said
nervously
“And if the brain doesn’t survive, then neither
will the creature!” Giovanni shouted and slapped the scientist, “And if
something were to happen to my precious pet, then I’ll make sure you suffer the
same fate!”
“y-y-yes sir” the scientist was shaking as he
reached for the heal sprout, “This one should be enough to take care of it” he
said as he held the plant in his hands
“Well? Do your job already!” Giovanni shouted.
Behind the scientist was a machine used for
extracting the liquids inside the plant. He held the scrub carefully in his
hands as he walked over to it…
“YOINK!”
“Huh?” Giovanni and the scientist looked up. The
scientist was shocked to see that the scrub wasn’t in his hands anymore! Bonsai
was holding it!
“003!” Giovanni exclaimed, “What are you doing
here?!”
“It’s not 003. I’m way prouder of my real than
that pathetic number you gave me! I’m just here to tell you I quit, and I’m
also taking the plant!” he smirked
“Why you… traitor!” Giovanni growled. He then
turned and looked at Cybermew in the tank. Cybermew’s condition wasn’t good,
and its brain was starting to swell on the inside of its head and soon it would
die!
“Flattery will get you nowhere… whoa!” Bonsai
exclaimed. Giovanni lunged at him, but Bonsai jumped back and threw the sprout,
“CATCH!”
“GOT IT!” Ash jumped up and caught the heal
sprout
“All right!”
“001! 002! I’m glad you’re here! 003 has the
sprout! Stop him!” said Giovanni
“Why? We don’t work for you,” said
“You’ll find out letters of resignation on your
desk” said Ash as they both turned around and started walking off
“GRRRR…” Giovanni growled, “I think not!” he said
“MEOWR!!!!”
SCRIT!
“YEOWWWW!!!!” Ash shouted out in pain and surprise,
the scrub flew out of his hands, and
“Grr…” Giovanni growled, holding a pokéball.
“I’ll show you how I deal with traitors!”
“Hm!” Ash and
CRACK!
“YAGH!” Both Ash and
“He’s quick!” Bonsai gasped. The way Giovanni had
released both Persian and Dugtrio without being noticed, it was because of his
quickness in releasing them! “Hm! If it’s a battle of speed you want, I’ll be
your opponent!” he quickly drew both war fans, “HAAA-AGH!” As he charged forward,
he suddenly crashed into a large solid figure. “WHAT?!” he exclaimed but gasped
again when he suddenly felt the impact of a large stone fist in his face! It
was a Rhydon!
“They used to call me king of the quick-draw”
Giovanni smirked. “There’s more to winning battles than power and strategy, and
that’s the skill of the trainer themselves. The first strike is crucial, and by
releasing the pokémon faster than the opponents can react, I can win the battle
before it even starts.”
“Unfortunately, that strategy only works on
regular opponents” Ash smirked. His other friends were here… and if they were
here, it meant… “PIKACHU! THUNDER!”
“PIKAAAAA!!!!!” Pikachu sprang up out of nowhere…
BZZZZZZZAP!!!!!!
“PSROOOOOWRRRR!!!!” Persian screeched and fell to
the ground unconscious.
“Great job buddy!” Ash cheered
“PIKA!” Pikachu jumped up and high-fived Ash
“Ash!” Brock and Tracey appeared, “The other
fiends are busy taking care of the main forces, so we’d thought we’d handle the
big boss!” said Brock
“Ebi’s also here! He said to bring the sprout to
him!” said Tracey
“Right, I’ll take care of that!” Bonsai held up
the plant and dashed off
“No!” Giovanni yelled, he had to get the plant
back…
BEEEEP!
A sound came from the Cybermew tank. The vital
signs faded, the brain swelling had gotten it… the lights faded as the computer
shut down. Its program was complete, there was no more need for life support.
Cybermew was dead
“N… N… NOOOOO!!!!!” Giovanni shouted at the top
of his lungs. All those millions of dollars, all those months of hard work to
create this pokémon… all his efforts, were for nothing! “You…” he turned
around, his voice was bitter with fury and hate. He growled and the group
readied themselves for whatever was coming. There was another beeping sound, it
was his cell phone. He quickly answered, “What is it?!”
“Giovanni sir! The entire base is under siege…
our attackers… they’re the Super Fiends…! They’re too much! Our forces can’t
handle it! We’re losing-!”
CRACK!
Giovanni crushed the phone in his hand before the
agent could finish, “Because of you… our next Mew is dead, my army is losing,
the entire Team Rocket organization I had put so much work into building is in
pieces… all because of you…” he snarled
“Get ready…” Ash and the group readied themselves
“I am
going to make you wish…” he growled, “THAT YOU WERE NEVER BORN!!!!!!!”
Though the infiltration was a success and
the sprout was taken, heroes find themselves facing Giovanni himself! What is
the leader of Team Rocket truly capable of? Find out next time on Pokémon:
Shadow of the Deceiver!
(TO BE CONTINUED)
Chapter 6- Giovanni’s Counterattack
~Team Rocket: one of the most powerful
criminal organizations on the face of the earth. Until now, we have never seen
what they were truly capable of. Their leader, Giovanni is among the most cold
and calculating men on earth, and he has an entire army at his disposal. In
recent times, they have been working harder than ever before, to grow in power,
to eliminate all other competition, and now… we have just discovered their
reasons for doing so. They have grown used to being the top, and now another
power is moving in, threatening their position… the Kaiser Cult. All the
efforts Team Rocket has gone through, everything they had accomplished in
preparing to fight the cult, we would now face their full power…
-Ash
Ketchum
(Location- Team Rocket HQ,
Within the Team Rocket headquarters, a huge
battle was raging. Hundreds of agents were flooding the room, and there were
hundreds more to come.
“BRING IT ON!” The Super Fiends roared as they
continued fighting against the flood of agents. They stood strong, even against
their overwhelming numbers
“S… so strong…!” one of the rocket grunts gasped
in disbelief… even with the hundreds of them, it seemed to make no difference
to this small band of rogues! “There’s no way… they can’t be human!”
“Stand strong men! We are soldiers of Team
Rocket! We cannot falter in the face of any foe! Show the Super Fiends what
we’re made of!” shouted the sergeant who commanded the Safari-zone mission,
“EVERYONE! GET INTO FORMATION! ATTACK!”
Many of the pokémon unleashed their strongest
attacks, they went flying through the air towards the fiends… when suddenly a
green figure leapt out of nowhere, in the way of the attacks… “HAAA!” it
shouted, spinning around rapidly. All the pokémon attacks, whether solid rocks
or blazing fire, were all deflected. The spinning stopped, and there stood
Bonsai, wielding his twin War-fans. “Using pokémon, eh?” he smirked, reaching
to the side and grabbing several pokéballs, “I got them too. GO!!!” he shouted,
releasing several pokémon, all of them of the grass elements. Tropius,
Vileplume and Parasect, “STUN SPORES!” his pokémon shouted and released a cloud
of paralysing powder over the crowds of enemies. Many of them froze up, stunned
by the attack, and the rest of the fiends charged forward, smashing through
their numbers!

“Impressive… as expected from the Fiends!” Ebi
commented as Bonsai ran in his direction
“Ebi!” Bonsai finally reached him and handed the
heal sprout, “Here it is”
“Good” said Ebi as he safely stowed the plant in
his bag, “Getting the plant is step one, now all that’s left is to get it to
Misty! I’ll be on my way… AGH!” he gasped as an invisible blast of energy hit
him and knocked him to the ground!
“Take that!” a Butch yelled and looked to the
right, “Good work Drowzee!” he said
“Drowzee…” the psychic pokémon replied
“Ugh…” Ebi started to get up
“He’s moving again! Finish him off Ratticate!”
Cassidy ordered. The Rat pokémon bounded forwards to eliminate Ebi…
SMACK!
“Someone called for an exterminator?” Cleft
asked. He had smacked Ratticate right before it could bite Ebi, and he had it
pinned down with his hands. Ratticate tried to bite the Super Fiend, but he
couldn’t feel the bites through his heavy metal gloves. “Stop that, that’s
getting annoying!” Cleft looked down at Ratticate and bashed it on the head. Looking
up, he sprung forward, his fist smashed into Drowzee’s face, sending the
pokémon flying and crashing into Cassidy and Butch, “WHO ELSE WANTS SOME!?” He
shouted and went charging, his fists flying wildly

“HAAA!” AntiArctic dashed through the crowds of
enemies, striking fast and hard with his fists, attacking their critical
points. Before they could even move, every rocket agent around him fell to the
ground unconscious, “Never underestimate the strength of a ninja.” He said
calmly. As a Machoke lunged at him from behind, without even looking he ducked
and evaded its attacks. Turning around, he opened his mouth and took a deep
breath… “Hmm… KAH!” he exhaled hard, unleashing a freezing wind. What came from
him could only be called a blizzard, and even Machoke and all the other agents
were frozen completely! “Not bad…” he commented, seeing the frozen statues he
created…
“MORTAL REAPER!” Goth slashed them with his
scythe, banishing them to the void
“Hey!” AntiArctic exclaimed
“Sorry to get rid of your artwork, but they were
in the way” said Goth as he continued using his attack, eliminating more
soldiers along with sweeping away the fallen ones.
“RHAAA!!” G.I. Jolt charged forward, smashing
through their numbers. Whether human or pokémon, he was far stronger. “I don’t
even need my weapons to fight the likes of you, I can do this with my bare
hands!”
“You got that right! Heck, I don’t even NEED to
use my hands! “TWIN DREAM!” Twin Dreamer fired large spiralling beams that
decimated the troops, “All too easy!”
“GROUND ZERO!” A gigantic shockwave created by
Cleft sent his enemies packing.
“This battle is practically won, Team Rocket’s
army may be in the thousands, but the fiends have the power far surpassing
theirs.” Ebi looked around, and saw the Rockets were beginning to scatter,
their morale broken and replaced with fear. “And Ash and the others are
fighting Giovanni. Everyone’s doing their parts… now it’s my turn” taking the
plant, he ran… to help Misty…
(Meanwhile)
“CLOYSTER!” Giovanni’s Cloyster attacked
“NIDOOOO!!!!!”
“MEGA PUNCH!”
“Cloyster, use clamp!” Giovanni quickly commanded
SNAP!
“No! Nidoqueen!”
“EVERYONE! HELP HER!” Ash suddenly shouted, as
the other pokémon rushed forward to help Nidoqueen, as Cloyster continued
crushing her arm…
“Spike Cannon!” Giovanni shouted. Suddenly, the
spikes on Cloyster’s body began flying everywhere, keeping them at bay! “Face
it, you’re out of your league. I’ve been battling for years in all kinds of
situations. As you can see, I’m also accustomed to handling numerous opponents
at a time.” Giovanni spoke, putting his hands in his pockets, “My strategies
are flawless, you children can’t hope to beat me”
“Maybe children can’t beat you…” said
CRASH!
The attacks hit Cloyster at full force, but they
barely damaged the pokémon! “Out of all the pokémon that roam this earth,
Cloyster has the highest defence, and this one in particular has been fortified
with many defence-raising items, making him a living impenetrable fortress!
“Cloy!” Cloyster opened his shell to launch the
attack
“Got ya!” Ash smirked. He aimed the QuickSilver
on his arm forwards and fired a nitro ball towards the pokémon.
“What?!” Giovanni exclaimed, “Withdraw!” he
ordered quickly, but it was too late. The nitro ball had made contact with
Cloyster’s face as soon as the shell closed shut. There was a muffled explosion
that shook the shell, and smoke started to seep through the gaps. Cloyster’s
shell toppled over… the pokémon was defeated…
“Don’t think I’m gonna play by the rules for a
criminal like you! Your mistake was expecting the attacks to only come from the
pokémon, when the real threat here is me!” Ash pointed at himself with his thumb,
“It doesn’t matter how hard Cloyster’s shell is, it can’t fight without opening
up, and if it does open it’s vulnerable to attacks!”
“(sigh)” Giovanni sighed, “I must say, I am
actually impressed. You have beaten three of my pokémon so far… now it’s time I
actually get serious.”
“What do you mean?” asked
“Persian, Beedrill, Cloyster, all of them are
pokémon outside my specialty, and I only use them in the gym battles to make
sure the fights aren’t going to be overkill. Let me show you my true
speciality…” Giovanni spun around and threw several pokéballs, releasing five
ground pokémon: Rhydon, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Dugtrio and Golem, “These ground
pokémon are each ten times stronger than the ones you have beaten, and will be
the ones to defeat you” he smiled unpleasantly, “ATTACK!”
What happened next, the flow of battle had
completely changed. Each one of Giovanni’s Level 100 pokémon fought fiercely
against the team’s pokémon, taking some of them out while forcing the rest to a
standstill!
“Rhydon! Horn drill!” Giovanni commanded
“RHY!” Rhydon charged forwards, its horn spinning
like a drill. The pokémon were careful to get away from it, for a direct hit
from that attacked meant instant doom
“Nidking, Nidoqueen, attack” Giovanni said calmly
“NIDROO!” While the pokémon were distracted by
the Rhydon, the two Nido pokémon attacked
“Wa!” Ash exclaimed as he watched this battle. He
knew Giovanni was good, but he didn’t expect him to be THIS good!
“Back at your age, I was already considered a
pokémon master. Handling this many pokémon at once is a breeze for me” said
Giovanni,
SMACK!
This battle was literally a replay of the fight
against the original 001 with Tyranitar. The only difference was that this was
like fighting five Tyranitar because each the pokémon were very high level and
given items to make them stronger, not to mention their trainer was extremely
skilled.
“Holy!”
“The elite four spend their time battling easy
opponents. True, I was never really this powerful, but since my gym collapsed,
I had spent my time sharpening my skills and strengthening my pokémon, as well
as my organization!” Said Giovanni, “The Team Rocket Society was little more
than a joke, but I have changed that! Once I get you out of the way, Team
Rocket shall become the most powerful organization in history! People will fear
its name!” he laughed, “My pokémon are all powerful. have made sure to prepare
them for anything! I have taught them to counter every single attack known to
mankind, and there is nothing you can do! ATTACK!” He shouted
Giovanni’s pokémon made a fierce charge, driving
back our heroes pokémon. Despite being heavily outnumbered, these five pokémon
functioned perfectly as a team, covering for each other when attacked and
retaliating with incredible force! The team and their pokémon suddenly found
themselves cornered by these pokémon!
“Now Rhydon… use Horn Drill!” Giovanni shouted,
pointing forward…
“RHYYY!” the horn began spinning rapidly, as it
lunged forward…
SMACK!!!
“WHAT!?” Giovanni’s eyes opened wide, Ash
suddenly leapt forward and swung his leg, kicking Rhydon at the side of the
head and knocked him back
“OW…!” Ash clenched his teeth, fighting back
tears as he clutched his leg… maybe kicking the rock pokémon wasn’t such a good
idea. “GRR…” he slowly stood up straight, “If you wanna hurt my pokémon, you’ll
have to go through me first! I don’t care how good your tactics are… anyone who
threatens my friends will have to deal with me!” he growled, clenching his
fists and grabbing his pokéballs… “Guys?” Ash glanced at the rest of his
friends, “Call back your pokémon and leave immediately. I’ll face him alone.”
“You’re sure about this?” asked Brock
“More than anything.” Ash spoke, “You guys go
help the Super Fiends clean up the rest of the agents. I will stay here and
fight Giovanni” he turned around, facing the leader of Team Rocket, and by far
the strongest man in the organization
“Ugh… and I wanted a piece of this guy for
myself. Oh well… as long as I’m in this group, you’re the boss”
“So tell me why you’re sending your companions
away?” asked Giovanni, as Ash’s friends ran off, leaving the labs. He could
have ordered his pokémon to attack them, but he was more interested in hearing
Ash’s reasons
“Because you’re a strong opponent, and a skilled
pokémon trainer” Ash answered as he called out several more of his own pokémon,
“This is between you and me. We fight as pokémon trainers… and I will put an
end to Team Rocket.”
“Hmm… I was mildly surprised you were able to
repel my pokémon with a simple kick… but do you think words alone could stop
us?” asked Giovanni
“No… but this can! HYDROTHUNDER!” Ash shouted, as
Squirtle and Totodile both fired powerful jets of water, and Pikachu
electrified it. Giovanni’s pokémon all screamed out, as the water damaged them,
while electricity surged through them!
“What?!” Giovanni exclaimed
“Ground types may be immune to electricity, but
when covered in water, even the hardest of them all can’t stand up to Pikachu!”
said Ash, “You may be good at reacting to regular moves, but you’ve got no
knowledge on combination attacks! Now here’s another one!” Ash smirked, pulling
out several ice attack balls (since they had no ice pokémon) “ICE BULLETS!”
The water pokémon fired tons and tons of bubbles
using whatever bubble attack they had, and Ash threw an ice attack ball. The
cold mist released froze all the bubbles that flew through it into rock hard
projectiles.
CRACK!
Before it could react, Dugtrio took numerous head
shots (seeing how he’s all head) and was knocked unconscious. One of them was
down!
“ICE PILLAR!” Ash shouted
The water pokémon now stopped firing water guns
and Hydro Pumps and Ash had to throw several ice attack balls now. The jet of
water was frozen into a gigantic pillar.
CRASH!!!!!
“RHY…!!!!” Rhydon gasped, eyes wide open as the
pillar sent it flying. It was still conscious… but that attack was so powerful…
“GRR! STOP HIM!” Giovanni exclaimed, motioning
with his hands for his pokémon to attack… “IGNORE THE POKÉMON! CRUSH HIM!” they
all charged at Ash….
“HA!” Ash suddenly snatched his pokémon into his
arms and kicked off the ground, jumping high into the air, right over their
heads, and landed behind Giovanni, “If you’re commanding your pokémon to attack
me directly then you must be getting desperate. And if you’re getting desperate
that mean’s you’re losing…”
SMACK!
“AGH…!” Giovanni exclaimed and dropped to his
knees, when Ash struck the back of his neck. Somehow he was still conscious…
“GRRR…”
“Too bad for you Giovanni. You put up a good
fight, but in the end you’re just no match” Ash crossed his arms, “It’s over
for you… and your Team Rocket…”
(Location- Team Rocket HQ)
“This is getting boring!” Jolt said as he picked
an agent over his head and tossed him into the pile, “I mean, I’m glad we were
able to have a big battle, but if these guys aren’t gonna put up a good fight
then I’d might as well go home!”
“Tell me about it!!”
“This is getting old!” said Twin Dreamer, “But if
you want, we’ll end it in one shot!”
“You have it!” Jolt, AntiArctic, Cleft and Bonsai
confirmed
“Hey… wait… you’re not gonna use…!” All of Ash’s
friends backed off nervously…
“No worries, we won’t target you!” Twin Dreamer
flew into the air and fired a huge spiralling beam of energy down at Goth, who
was lifting his scythe, “TWIN DREAM!”
“Power of Darkness! Join with the power of Dreams
and amplify your power!” he said as he spun the scythe, causing the two
energies to meet and join, “Target all foes except for those worth fighting!
SOUL HARVEST!!!!” He spun, swinging his scythe through the air. The giant wave
of dark energy swept through the room, and all the Rockets and their pokémon
were sent to the void by the attack. “And don’t come back!” Goth closed it
“Hey, you’re not really banishing them
permanently, are you?” asked Tracey
“Nah. Me and TeeDee have complete control over
the void…” Goth started talking
“Don’t call me that!” Twin Dreamer hit Goth over
the head
“Ahem… as I was saying, we designed that
dimension with our powers so it feels like time moves faster there, a minute
here feels like an hour. It’s all in the mind however, as your metabolism still
moves at the speed of this world, so it’s unlikely that anyone will starve or
die of thirst. I can open the void any time I feel like, but it will also open
unintentionally if I’m defeated. Right now, I have no such intention of letting
them go. Let them stew in there for a while, scare them a bit before I let them
out, maybe in a week or so…” said Goth, “Let’s move”
“Not so fast!” A voice spoke up.
“What now?” asked AntiArctic. Looking up, there
were still one group remaining…
“You may have decimated the troops, but you won’t
be beating us!” the one in charge, the former 002 spoke. Around him were the
other team Rocket Elites, as well as a number of special opts. “We are the
finest agents in all of Team Rocket! We alone already have the power to match
the troops! Prepare yourselves!”
Ash’s team and the Super Fiends smirked. “When
the Soul Harvest came, Goth told it not to target those worth fighting… meaning
that these guys may prove a challenge…” Gary, Brock, Tracey, Bonsai, Cleft,
AntiArctic, G.I. Jolt, Twin Dreamer and Goth… the nine of them against the
remaining 00 Elites and all of the Special opts, “Everyone, pick a partner and
LET’S DANCE!”
(Location- Team Rocket Labs)
“Give it up… you know you lost” Ash crossed his
arms, looking down at the leader of Team Rocket, “You have nothing left, it’s
all over”
“No… it’s not over yet…!” Giovanni growled,
suddenly getting up. “GRAAA!”
SMACK!
“AGH!” Ash gasped, recoiling from the pain when
he felt Giovanni’s fist strike his face! “What?!” he gasped, stumbling back, as
Giovanni stood up…
“GRR!” Giovanni turned to the side and grabbed a
huge metal table that had to weigh at least several hundred pounds and was
bolted to the ground… “RAAA!!” with all his strength, he lifted it up… the
bolts snapped as he picked it off the ground and held it over his head!
“HAAA!!!” he shouted, throwing it at Ash!
“WA!” Ash gasped, diving to the side to avoid the
table, as it crashed into the wall. “AH!” he suddenly gasped as Giovanni
quickly lunged down at him, swinging his fist…
THUD!
“Whoa…!” Ash gasped, seeing the floor dented
where Giovanni had punched. “Now way…” he gasped… he couldn’t believe it! Was
Giovanni really this strong!?
“You seem rather surprised…” a smirk crossed
Giovanni’s face, as he clenched his fists. “The power I have here… it is all
thanks to this special gear I am wearing…” grabbing his suit, he tore it off,
revealing some strange body-armour below… “This power-augmenting device that
can be worn like clothing is the prototype, and just one of the technologies
developed in our labs to combat the Kaiser Cult!” he punched the metal wall,
creating a deep dent. “Right now… my strength, speed and reflexes have been
increased to superhuman levels! A mere child and your pokémon won’t stand a chance
against me!”
“Again with the Kaiser Cult… just what are they?”
Ash wondered, seeing that even Giovanni seemed to know a lot more about them
than he did… “But you think that lame getup of yours is enough to beat me?”
“Why don’t we see? HMM!” Giovanni suddenly darted
forward. Ash raised his guard, but Giovanni was faster, his fist slipping right
past it! Ash gasped and fell back, but Giovanni quickly grabbed him and pulled
him close, raising his fist again…
“HA!” Before Giovanni could do anything, Ash pulled
out a light blue coloured ice-attack ball, shoving it into Giovanni’s face!
Giovanni screamed as the thin layer of ice appeared, and dropped Ash as he
clutched his face… “SILVER BULLET!!!”
THUNK!
Giovanni fell to the ground clutching his
stomach, with ice still covering his face. Ash clenched his fist tight… ready
to attack again… “AGH!!!” He suddenly exclaimed when Giovanni’s Nidoqueen
suddenly tackled him and knocked him back! “Ow…” slowly Ash got up, his pokémon
quickly joining him, while Giovanni managed to take off the ice on his face,
also joined by his four remaining pokémon.
“Don’t think cheap tricks will save you” Giovanni
growled
“I was about to say the same thing…” Ash crossed
his arms, staring at Giovanni’s power suit. “I wonder… when your scientists
made that thing, did they build it fireproof?” he asked with a smirk… and
Giovanni’s eyes opened wide… “CHARIZARD! CYNDAQUIL! FLAMETHROWER”
“AH!” Giovanni exclaimed, quickly diving to the
side and narrowly evading the fire.
“Oh, did I strike a nerve? FIRE SPIN!” Ash
shouted
“DEFENCE CURL!” Giovanni shouted, as Golem
quickly appeared in front of him and curled up, while blocking him from the
flames! “ROLLOUT!”
“MOVE!” Ash exclaimed, as his pokémon quickly
evaded the attack… but in doing so he let his guard down… and Giovanni suddenly
darted forward…
SMACK!
“AGH…!” Ash’s eyes opened wide, his mouth dropped
open, when he felt Giovanni’s fist hit his stomach… Giovanni kicked him again,
knocking him to the ground!
“PIKACHU!!!” Pikachu suddenly sprung upward,
spiralling through the air with skull bash towards Giovanni. The team Rocket
leader quickly moved to evade… but Ash, still on the ground, kicked the back of
his foot, causing him to fall over!
“While he’s down! FIRE SPIN!” Ash shouted, and
his two fire pokémon attacked…
“AAAAAARGH!!” Giovanni screamed as flames
enveloped him… quickly he ran out from flames and started rolling desperately
on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire! If his suit was destroyed, he
would lose this battle! “GOLEM! EXPLOSION!” he shouted, as the rock pokémon
unleashed its most destructive attacks. The explosion was powerful, and sent
Ash and his pokémon flying and crashing into the wall. “RHYDON! NIDOKING!
MEGAHORN! NIDOQUEEN! USE CRUNCH!” he roared, as his three remaining pokémon
charged through the smoke left by the explosion, to finish off his opponents!
However… he had the feeling that these attacks weren’t gonna do the job, he had
to take matters into his own hands. “Grrr!” reaching to a railing on the side,
he grabbed and pulled it hard, breaking it right off and clutching it in his
hand. He had a weapon now! “HAA!” He charged through the smoke…
“CHROAR!” Charizard fired the blast of flames and
flew back, avoiding Rhydon’s powerful horn… but gasped when he saw Giovanni
jump at him from the side… and slammed Charizard on the side of the head!
Charizard hit the ground… giving a weak groan before blacking out… and before
Cyndaquil could do anything, he kicked him too, knocking him out! “Ha-ha…!”
Giovanni laughed triumphantly, he had taken out both fire pokémon! There was
nothing to fear…!
“WHY YOU!!!” Ash roared, enraged. His pokémon
were still fighting Rhydon, Nidoking and Nidoqueen, and Ash darted forward
towards Giovanni…! Giovanni swung the bar at him, and Ash raised the
QuickSilver in defence just in time…! “AGH!” He exclaimed, sent flying back by
a punch from Giovanni’s left fist. Ash
growled, getting up. He could not lose… this fight was to end Team Rocket… and
for Misty’s sake! “RHAAA!!!” he roared, swinging his fist. Giovanni gasped,
when Ash had scored a critical hit, and a strong one that knocked the breath
out of his lungs. Giovanni dropped to his knees, and Ash kicked his wrist,
sending the metal bar flying out of his hands. “SILVER BULLET!” Ash shouted,
swinging his right arm…
SMASH!!
“AAAAH!” Giovanni screamed when Ash’s fist right
fist slammed across his unprotected face, sending him flying back and hitting
the ground…
“(Pant… pant…)” Ash was sweating, his mouth hung
open, gasping for air. Giovanni’s pokémon were all defeated, while his pokémon
were tired from this battle. “You… just don’t know… when to… give up…” Ash
panted, “(Now I know how all my opponents feel when fighting me… man, I never
thought I was this irritating…)” he smiled at the irony…
“This fight… is far from over…” Giovanni panted
as he got up, grabbing the iron bar in his hands once again. His cheek was
swollen, it was a miracle he was still conscious. That hit should have knocked
him out… but his will was incredible. “I won’t allow… my organization to
crumble… even if this fight lasts forever!” slowly he began to walk towards
Ash, stumbling… lifting the bar over his head…
“Very admirable, but unfortunately we don’t have
that long” A voice spoke up, and a new figure stepped in between Giovanni and
Ash. Ash’s eyes opened wide with shock
when he saw the newcomer… “Back off Giovanni”
“And just who are you?” Giovanni growled
“Me?” the young man crossed his arms, “I’m Sky
Render”
“GRRR! GET OUT OF MY WAY!” Giovanni swung the metal
bar as Sky Render, but the Super Fiend casually moved to the side, avoiding the
attack. Giovanni kept swinging at him, and Sky Render calmly, almost lazily
dodged each swing “GRHAA!” Giovanni roared in frustration, he couldn’t hit the
fiend! With all his strength he swung it down at Sky Render… “WHAT!?” he
exclaimed, when the Super fiend stopped the bar, catching it with his bare
hands!
“You expect to wage war on the Kaiser Cult with
this level of strength?” Sky Render asked him in a mock tone, and pushed him
back. “HM!” quicker than he could react, Sky Render ducked and kicked
Giovanni’s legs, causing him to fall and hit the ground. Giovanni sprung back
up and charged at him, while Sky simply stepped to the side and tripped him
over, making him fall face first into the iron wall!
“GRAAAARGH!” Giovanni roared, his fury reaching
the point of madness. This fiend was toying with him… he was teasing him!
Absolutely unforgivable!
“Hmph… you really don’t give up.” Sky Render said
passively as Giovanni continued lunging at him while he kept moving around,
keeping Giovanni from touching him. Sky Render spun around, pulling out his
wooden sword and swinging it to Giovanni’s feet, making him fall and hit the
ground again “Are we done yet?” asked Sky Render
“RAAAAARRRGH!!!!!” Giovanni charged forwards.
“It doesn’t look like you’re gonna give up, so
I’ll end this quick” Sky Render sighed and drew his real sword… feeling rather
annoyed that he was gonna use this on such a weak opponent… “BLADE STORM!” Sky
Render attacked with amazing speed, as the sword became was less than a blur,
flying all over Giovanni’s body and freezing him in place. When the attack
ended, Giovanni stood there, shocked. The metal bar fell to the ground, cut
into twenty even pieces. His suit fell to the ground in shreds, leaving him
with only his boxers. “Without your power suit, you lost. It’s over” he said
turning around and sheathing the Katana.
“Why… why you!” Giovanni raised his fists, ready
to attack from behind…
TWACK!
“I said it’s over!” Sky Render shouted, clutching
the wooden sword, while Giovanni fell to the ground, unconcious
“Ah…” Ash was in a state of shock as Sky had so
easily defeated this enemy! He knew Sky Render was supposed to be strong than
him, but not THIS strong!
“You did a good job fighting him Ash, but you’ve
still got to improve” said Sky Render, “Sorry for stepping in the middle of
your fight, but if I didn’t interfere, it’d probably go on forever”
“I guess…” Ash sighed, crossing his arms. He was
rather annoyed with Sky butting into his fight like that… along with being the
one who finished off Team Rocket…
“You should head back to the bunker right now…
there’s someone waiting for you, and I believe you’re also eager to see her
again” Sky Render said, turning around. He didn’t say anything else and jumped
into the darkness, vanishing completely.
(Location- Outside Team Rocket HQ)
“So Sky just came and beat up Giovanni, just like
that?” asked
“Yeah… I still say I could’ve beaten Giovanni
myself!” said Ash, “Hey, where’s Ebi?”
“He left earlier. Went back to the bunker to heal
Misty” said Twin Dreamer
“That’s great!” Ash cheered, “I can’t wait to see
Misty! It’s been too long since I’ve seen her!” He closed his eyes and grinned,
“After all this time apart, I think the two of us deserve a little ‘alone
time’… heh-heh-heh…” he then blinked when he noticed everyone staring at him,
“Mind your own business!” he snapped at them, “And if any of you start peeping
on us I SWEAR there’ll be hell to pay…” suddenly… they all felt a rumbling in
the ground… it was coming from the direction of the Team Rocket HQ!
“WHAT!?” They all turned and looked at the Team
Rocket HQ.
The building was moving! The sides opened up and
what looked like giant metallic arms stuck out! The HQ started to rise out of
the ground, on top of a pair of giant legs! They could see it clearly now, the
HQ wasn’t a building now, it was a giant Robot! Tall as a skyscraper, and
bearing the Team Rocket ‘R’ Inside the giant robot, Giovanni (dressed in a new suit)
sat inside, controlling it, “With this great titan of steel… I SHALL HAVE MY
REVENGE!”
Giovanni has unleashed his final and most
destructive weapon… the mechanical monster so massive it could only be
considered a titan… he seeks to put an end to our heroes in one fell swoop! How
will the battle with Team Rocket end? Find out what happens next time on
Pokémon: Shadow of the Deceiver!
