Pokémon Special Conquest

RBG Arc Ch.48: The Genetic Pokémon

On the middle of Route 24, Red follows Blaine as he follows a small device tracking a mysterious Pokémon. Red looks on dejected as Blaine leads the way deeper into the route as only curiosity keeps Red moving forward. After a moment Blaine stops with Red quickly following as the two come upon a large cavern in the middle of the mountain.

            “This is it,” Blaine says seriously putting the device away. “It’s sleeping in here.”

            “What is this thing?” Red asks nervously.

            “Mewtwo, it was a project to create a powerful weapon by cloning the Phantom Pokémon Mew. It was born on Cinnabar Island, but while I was away it escaped and destroyed the lab it was born in.”

            “So you’re tracking it?”

            “Yes with the Rocket Kingdom taken care of I decided to return to pursuing it and wrap up all of my mistakes.” Blaine stops and looks back at Red. “Red, this is dangerous so if you’d like to leave then I won’t blame you.”

Red stops for a moment and looks at Blaine. “No, I’m going to come with you. If this Pokémon is a danger then I want to make sure no one gets hurt, and that it’s somewhere safe.”

            “Alright, well let me tell you my plan. Mewtwo is deep in this cave, but it should respond to me and my Aura, if I reach out towards it and come to the surface.”

            “And from there we battle it and try to connect with it.”

            “Not necessarily.” Blaine pulls out a purple Poke’ball with a large ‘M’ on the front of it. “This is what Giovanni wanted from Silph before he took over the city; it’s called the Master Ball.”

            “Master Ball?”

            “It’s a new kind of Poke’ball that should catch a Pokémon without the need for a bond; from there you can try bonding with a Pokémon slowly without the need for excessive battles.”

            “I understand, let’s begin.”

            “Of course, just ready yourself.” Blaine looks forward holding out his hand towards the cave. “Let’s begin.”

A loud cry comes out of the cave as Blaine focus’s his attention towards it as a large wave of energy comes out of the cavern pushing Red and Blaine back. A bipedal humanoid creature emerges from the cave floating in the sky. It’s gray skin and long purple tail, a pair of blunt horns, with a tube connecting the top of its spine to the bottom of its spine, and three digit fingers revealing itself as it emerges.

            “Is that it?” Red asks concerned.

            “Yes.” Blaine stares at Mewtwo as he grips his arm. “Mewtwo, I’ve come to fix this!”

Mewtwo glares at the pair waving its hand and sending out a large wave of energy that pushes the two back. Blaine readies a Poke’ball before Red steps forward tossing out his Poke’balls as Charizard, Pikachu, and Poliwrath emerges.

            “We’ll hold it down; you concentrate on your Aura!” Red yells out excitedly.

            “Red.” Blaine looks on as Red charges forward. You remind me so much of him, back when his eyes were still full of that same hope and determination.

Charizard charges in towards Mewtwo shooting out a blast of flames, Mewtwo holds back the attack redirecting the fire into Charizard’s face as it begins floating higher in the air. Pikachu leaps up after it shooting out a blast of electricity out at Mewtwo, with Mewtwo ignoring the attack and creating a force field around itself. Seeing a small chance Poliwrath shoots out a blast of water hitting Mewtwo’s barrier as the water bounces off.

Blaine looks on watching the battle unfold before noticing a break in Mewtwo’s shield. “Now!” Blaine yells out tossing out something.

As it closes in Mewtwo grabs the object psychically noticing it’s a large spherical stone. Suddenly Pikachu comes in holding the shrunken Master Ball inside of its mouth and spitting it out and causing it to enlarge.

            “Now, calm down Mewtwo!” Red yells out holding his hand out towards Mewtwo. “Just calm down and the two of us can become friends.”

The Master Ball hits Mewtwo trapping it inside as it clicks loudly with Mewtwo stuck inside. Red walks up to the Master Ball picking it up and looking at it closely and looking at Mewtwo as it sits inside.

            “Hello there, sorry about this, but I’m sure that after a while you’ll see this is a good thing,” Red says seriously.

            “Red!” Blaine runs up looking at Red and Mewtwo as he stares at the ball. “Fascinating, it appears Mewtwo’s been pacified somewhat; maybe it was compatible to your Aura Red?”

            “I don’t know, but I can understand what Mewtwo was thinking, it was scared and alone so it just wanted to hide away.” Red hands Blaine the Poke’ball and starts walking off. “Blaine, take care of Mewtwo, I’m sure you’ll be able to watch over it a lot better than I could.”

            “Wait, where are you going?”

            “I have something I’ve been avoiding; I think I should go take care of it,” Red says seriously walking ahead.

In the middle of the day, Misty walks into the Dojo exhausted struggling with a large bag as she forces it through the door. She walks towards the pool sighing loudly, before quickly smiling to put on the air of happiness.

            “Everyone, it’s almost dinner time! Now I know you’re still sad that Red hasn’t come yet, but give him some time and…” Misty walks into the pool noticing Red sitting around as his Pokémon encircle him. “Okay, never mind.”

            “Misty!” Red stands up and rushes to her side hugging her tightly. “Thank you for everything Misty.”

She blushes brightly looking away from Red. “Yeah whatever, I just couldn’t leave you sitting on my doorstep like some injured puppy.”

            “Either way thank you Misty if it weren’t for you putting me out then I wouldn’t know how to move forward.”

            “Speaking of that.” Misty reaches into her pockets pulling out a small piece of paper and handing it to Red. “It came for you the other day, but I figured you wouldn’t want it until you got back on your feet.”

            “A flier for me?” Red looks at the flier curiously holding it out in his hands. “The Pokémon League Tournament?”
