Mew stood in the center of the gathering hall.  He had never thought he would have to use the type gates again, as their purpose was such that only the greatest need would drive him to open them.  Soon after this thought, a sky-high blast of dark psi erupted out of one, heralding the first coming.  Mewtwo appeared, trailed by every psychic pokemon of the twin regions.  Next, a blast of fire came from another and the fire types arrived.  It went as such with the water, grass, fighting, flying, bug and electric types.  Then, a ray of sun shone on the assemblage and a single clefable came through the normal gate.  “My lord, the normal pokemon will not come.  They say that your word is not good enough to send them all to war.  They have used their powers to make sure all normals will not come.  They also say that there is but one they will follow and you know who it is.”
‘Damnation’ said mew ‘I hoped I wouldn’t have to do this.’  He disappeared a moment and then reappeared with a large stone bell floating in front of him.  ‘Tell them not to let him rampage about, we have enough to worry on.’  The clefable left and then soon came back with the normals and one huge jigglypuff.  There was an earth-shattering quake as the rock, ground and steel pokemon came as one.  Mew thought to himself that leaves the hardest three to manage.  A green flame flew up out of another gate as if answering Mew and there stood the dragons, led by a dragonite eight stories tall.  Mew looked genuinely surprised, he had never believed that this one would bother to do anything anymore.  To the dragonite he said ‘You have never come by any call, I had thought you had left us entirely.’
“No, I merely decided that unless there was a great need, I would stay out.  As it is, I guess I am needed here.”  Nothing more was said and they watched the other two portals.  Mewtwo stepped over and asked ‘Why are those two inactive for so long and looked at so expectantly by everyone?’
Mew looked over and said ‘Those are the dark and ghost portals, we are not sure if the dark ones will come and if the ghost gate opens we know that the doom pokemon are indeed upon us.’
    Just then, darkfire engulfed one of the gates and the dark pokemon appeared.  Many of the others were surprised until they realized that though the dark ones had a type link to the doomed ones, there was no other common link.  Finally, the room darkened and the last gate became active.  Inside, the ghosts started to appear and leading them was a spectral articuno.  Mew said over to Mewtwo ‘This is why we are so anxious, you now behold the only legend ever to die.  This articuno was slain by the doom pokemon, and the only way she could take shape is if their magic is again present’.  Mew then teleported all of them to the site of resurrection and Mewthree followed.

    The strangers at the temples’ door were identical in each case, and the two trainers were hit by the duality of all of this.  The people who had just come were a man in armor that was comprised of magma, in various stages of cooling and a woman in a dress that made flowing a play on words, it being made of a small waterfall.  They were both tall with long hair, the man broad with wild white hair and the woman slender with straight golden hair.  The trainers thought they saw others, but they might have just been tricks of the light.  They stepped forward and said to the trainers “The two of them have been stuck down there so long, their minds fused.  It will be a moment before we can speak to either without having to speak to both.”  Then to the dooms “We come to invoke your power and are willing to trade much for such things.”  The doom pokemon just floated there, unmoving.  “Damn” the strangers muttered “they can’t even cognate, they’re so stuck together.”  It was at that point that the two trainers noticed all their pokemon missing.  Unable to account for it they started to ask the two who stood before them.  As one, the strangers turned and the man said, “Your pokemon are now part of a large force above the ruins.  They do not know exactly what is going on, so they have so far only called their army together, they will not attack yet.”  The doomed ones then started to move and they floated off the portal and up to the strangers.  They then said, “We are free from each other, what is it you seek?”
“Come out into the central cathedral and we will talk.”  They all walked out of the temples and into a much larger building.  The trainers followed, unable to think of anything else.  When they had all entered, the trainers defused themselves and half the strangers disappeared.  Doomsday then said, “What is it you seek?”
“We seek a portal to this plane at these coordinates.”  Said the woman and handed a parchment to the pokemon.
“We have this to trade, a world with an entire population ready and willing to sacrifice themselves.”  The man said.
“No!” Said Ash.
“That’s mass murder, not to mention evil!” Yelled Misty.
“It is alright, they want it this way.  Will you accept?”
“Yes,” said Doomsay and the planet vanished.  The two then held out their hands and started to pull down, a glowing line following their fingers.  Then a large hole appeared and they strangers stood at attention.

<Begin Flame, from Ethernaut> I knew it was a long shot, believing that my powers were anything close to what was necessary to do this task.  What can I say?  I’ll try anything.  That was why I was genuinely surprised when a huge gaping portal appeared behind my chair.  Taking no chances, I tied a rope around my waist and tied the other end to the computer desk, if I am pulled all the way, I can just write myself out.  I took a breath and stepped through. <End Flame>
 
The pokemon sensed a disturbance.

    Ash sensed more than that, as a creature that looked like a mutant human stepped through the gate.  The creature looked at the assemblage, Ash and Misty looking absolutely terrified and smiled.  “I see what is wrong.”  He said. <Begin Aten-Ra, replacing the word Angel with Image., from Mystery> The strangers and their entourage, which was looking more solid by the second, surrounded the new one and started to glow.  They transformed into light and entered the body of the newcomer; he snapped backwards and started to glow too.  Eventually the glow died down and a normal looking person stood before them. <End Aten-Ra.> The man was tall, slender with a hip length ponytail of white-blonde and small glasses.   He wore a robe of green with golden symbols embossed on the fabric and smiled down at them.  “It seems that my powers were great enough to receive here.  I guess I was lucky that enough power was left in this place for me to open the hole on my side.”  He said, and then turned to Ash.  “I think that a change of pace would be right, about now.  Don’t want you to miss the fireworks.” and at that point, everything froze.  Misty noticed a slight glow around his shoulders.  Correction, everything except Ash, Misty and the new person.
“Who are you and why are you here?”  Misty got out.
“Who I am is hard to explain, a guardian of this realm would be accurate enough.  Why I am here is that I created this pocket dimension out of a much more mainstream story.  This timeline, from the moment you left the stadium the first time you entered the Johto league and lost to now and beyond has been far different from what should have been.  I have come now firstly to show you what happens when I don’t intercede.”  At that, a television appeared and I showed them the entire show, including the movies, to present (author’s note: Now being late March in 2004).
“Wow” is all Ash could say and then finally “What happened to the town where I snuck into the forest?”
“Gone, the addition or subtraction of that place causes a cascade reaction.  Of course, it still might have been the way you saw anyway.  In our realm, what I showed you is truly a TV show and the writers have obviously been screwing up.  The first movie was what really killed their fan base and Hoenn is what got me angry enough to make this area.  Anyhoo, I just wanted to show who I was and why I was here, best restart time and let you get on with what is about to occur.”  He then disappeared and the two took their places again.

“Breaking news” shouted the TV in Delila’s living room “there are reports that every pokemon have mysteriously disappeared.  A search is being organized, but there are no clues as to how or why they have gone.”
As pokemon army materialized above the revenant city, so did Mewthree, causing quite a stir.  ‘Bloody hell, don’t tell me they’re still at it after what the Mewtwo did.’  Mew threw at Mewthree.
‘It was Giovanni’s last order.’
‘I guess what I did to him wasn’t enough.  Well, you’re here so you’d best make yourself useful and help us gather the pokemon together.  You’re help would be great, since we need everyone floating above them.’  Mewtwo added.
‘Right!’
 
And the megatype attacks began.  (If you want a description of all the attacks here they are: The electric is the thunder cannon, Fire is where they all use fire blast and a haunter and alakazam hold up a paper treated to absorb the fire symbol, they then point the paper at whatever they want hit.  Water is where all but one uses hydro pump and a gyarados either shapes it with dragon rage or whirlpool.  Grass is where they all but one use solar beam on the last grass type which absorbs and redirects it.  Rock is all of them using magnitude and ground adds to them with earthquake.  Ghost is a chorus of perish song.  Dark is a group night shade.  Steel lets out a giant screech.  Psychic is a psybeam that is all aimed at one psyduck, which has a good ability towards redirecting, said psybeam, though some psychics will hang back and shape the type attacks together.  Dragons use hyperbeam.  Normal is the clefable’s version of metronome.  Flying uses a razor whirlwind.  Bug comes in with spore poison fires off toxics and fighting uses tri attack.)
As the pokemon got ready to strike with everything they had, the two doom pokemon came out and started work on their ultimate move, darkening, which would make sure the attacks and attackers would fail.  Noticing that the enormous jigglypuff was free, they called on their ancient minions, a spoon and a cylinder appeared, joining to summon their alakazam and Gengar.   The trainers walked out to watch, knowing that now there was nothing to do but watch.  The types then fired their attacks, aiming them at...Illuminorb?  The trainers were confused now.
    The pokemon weren’t, though and the psychic types made sure to correct any drift in aim.  The attack hit illuminorb squarely and it erupted into a massive bull made of the energy unleashed by the others.  It started to gallop down towards the doomed ones.
Meanwhile...  “I can’t believe we got written out of the best part!” a James yelled.
“Are we to stand for this?” the other shouted.
“Let’s join the twerps and defend our right to live and steal.” a Jesse exclaimed.  And with that, the Rockets blasted off, possibly for the last time.
It was too late that Mew realized that only Mewtwo and Mewthree could keep control of the attack if darkening were to hit it. He silently cursed his shortsightedness at an obvious problem.  A dark attack will neutralize a psychic and only dark psi can withstand that.  Mew was elated when the bull charged and crashed into the revenants, but was shocked to see a dark dome blocking their attacker from reaching the two fully.  All four pokemon inside were chanting and slowly, the dome expanded.  At that point, the attackers needed no orders as they tried to reinforce illuminorb and their one chance.  A bright light appeared above all of them and a voice said, “I tire of this fight, there are others to worry about.”  The guardian was floating above them with a black and yellow band hanging on his neck, down to his chest.  A nimbus of light was at the end and before they could look down again, the dark bubble burst.  The revenants got the full force and their minions were banished.
Ash and Misty went over to the fallen pokemon and were met by the guardian.  He handed them two pokeballs and said, “Do it.”  Ash inspected the ball a moment and said “This is a GS, where did you–“
“Must you ask?”  At that, they threw the balls and the doomed ones put up no fight.  Mew rushed over and sent ‘We must be careful, I’ve set up a shield around you two, and Mewtwo and I am going to remove the evil from them.’
‘I thought they were evil.’ Ash fired back.
‘They’re so consumed, that may be all that is left, but they were pokemon and I am going to try.’  With that last message, mew took both balls and runes sprang up.  The balls opened to reveal the dooms in a comatose state, but still floating upright.  In moments, a dark haze was coming out of the two of them and soon, it blackened the already dark clouds that were hanging over.  It probed the shield and then raced off.  ‘Now, we must chase and destroy evil.  But before that, you ought to meet the last of a dying and for millennia, dead breed.  The type one and two magic pokemon.’  Mew gestured towards the doom pokemon, who were starting to transform.  Doomsday’s cloak was lengthening, and finally reached the ground, turning pink with gold.  Arms grew out of what was once nothing and grasped the hood, pulling it back to reveal...a male human face?  Ash was about to ask a question about that, but doomsay started.  The transformation in it was far more graphic, since it was without covering, sufficed to say that it turned into a woman with a similar robe.  Both pulled their hoods off completely to reveal dark hair, though the woman had a reddish tinge to it.  The sky had cleared.  They stretched and the man said, “What on earth have I been drinking?  Oh yeah, I was possessed by dark powers.  Hi, Mew, how long were we down there?”  ‘Ten thousand years, give or take a century.’
“That explains the cramp.”
    The woman, who was looking younger by the second, turned to the trainers, smiled and said “Hey Ash, Hey Misty.”  She then yawned, sighed and said “I wish I could get some sleep, but I assume we have to go and blow up that dark power before it fortifies more than it already has.”
    The guy looked up and saw the guardian lying in a hammock attached to nothing, reading a book.  “Oh dear me, a pan-dimensional superbeing, and I haven’t even swept the sacrificial altar.”  The Guardian looked annoyed and yelled, “I’m not that kind of God.”  The trainers were standing, agape at all this and Mew decided to illuminate them as to what was going on.  ‘In the days when they were not possessed by evil, they were great sorcerers.  They were of type magic, a type they shared with other pokemon that later went to other types when I sealed them and most of this world’s mana away.    They were, of course, legends and so almost indestructible. But that didn’t mean they were incorruptible.  They started trying necromancy as a new venue for their powers and it consumed them, poisoning their bodies and minds and rotting them into liches.  They tried to destroy the earth and I was forced to seal them in its core magically.  In the process, they cursed my firstborn, which is why I never procreated until Mewtwo, and mortally wounded an articuno.’  At this point both gasped.
“But that’s supposed to be impossible.”  Misty whispered.
‘That was how great their power was and still is.’
“But why did they greet us by name?”
‘They do keep tabs on their descendants’
“We’re directly related to them?”
‘Pretty much.  Don’t worry, though, it was ten thousand years ago, I doubt anyone would accuse you two of marrying relatives.’
“Well” Ash said slyly “legally, you are my mom, daughter, wife and sister.”
Misty smiled and said, “It goes both ways.”
‘We’d best be off now, you will find that the magic you already are capable of has been augmented and increased.  You can fly pretty easily.’
“Neat” And with that last sentiment, they flew towards their final battle versus evil.  “Where is it located now?”  Misty yelled over the sound of air rushing past.
‘In Hoenn, somewhere called Dewford Island.’
