"Who said I was fighting for my life here, you never cornered me…..
My work here is done"
Giovani was confused by Aoki's remarks but before he could do anything he saw Beedrill suddenly falling to the ground and not moving.
It was one of Darkrai's powers with which he put Beedrill to sleep for a temporary duration.
Before he could do anything his headpiece that controlled Mewtwo was smashed into pieces by an attack that came from behind.
In the next second his head was slammed to the ground breaking his voice-changing mask.
Giovani groaned in pain as his head started bleeding.
'Who is that possible !! how did a Pokemon reach me undetected !!' Giovani cursed.
That is when he noticed that the entire battlefield was filled was dark fog.
He could not believe that he could make such a mistake but since he did the only conclusion was that the fog was not meant to be detected.
Giovani could not think more as his consciousness slipped away.
Mewtwo stopped his movements as he stopped receiving instructions but his eyes always followed the invisible figure.
Aoki was about to command his Pokemon to attack but he received a mental message from Dakrai not to do anything.
Boom!
A dark-type attack assaulted Mewtwo but a strong psychic barrier formed around him completely blocking the attack.
Crack!!
The barrier cracked as a pitch-black arm grabbed Mewtwo's face and released dense dark-type energy.
Boom!!
Mewtwo snapped his finger as dense gravitational energy pushed away simultaneously using multiple electro balls.
Darkrai responded back with Fire Blast causing another loud explosion.
Mewtwo condensed multiple Shadow Balls and sent them at Darkrai but all of them were sliced apart from the middle by Darkrai.
Mewtwo pointed and joined his hands and sent a condensed beam of ice at Dakrai but it passed through his body as if it was permeable. Seeing that it didn't work Mewtwo used more strong attacks like Solar Beam, Flamethrower, and Hyperbeam which Darkrai responded with equally strong attacks or dodging his attacks.
Darkrai condensed an orb of dense Dark Type energy and sent it at Mewtwo could respond with a strong psychic attack but Mewtwo lost the confrontation and took a lot of damage as his armor got broken into pieces revealing his true figure.
It was a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon with some feline features. It is primarily gray with a long, purple tail. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes.
A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate.
The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.
As the armor was now broken, champion-level energy washed over everyone but it fail to intimidate any of Aoki's Pokemon.
Mewtwo used Recover as his injuries started to heal rapidly.
He starred at Dakrai but didn't do anything.
'Are you really going to work for a person that is just using you as nothing more than a tool? ' Darkrai's voice rang inside Mewtwo's head as his body stiffened.
'Think for yourself…..find out who you are….
Work with us….we shall give you the power and the respect you deserve….we will help you to realize the reason for your existence….
You have the potential to stand at the top of the world but the people you are with can never give you that place. ' Darkrai kept repeating his words directly into Mewtwo's head.
"...I... will think ....about it..." Mewtwo's voice reached everyone.
Mewtwo stared at the invisible figure for a few seconds and gave Aoki a last look before teleporting away taking Giovani and Beedrill with him.
Aoki planned to take Mewtwo from Giovani in the confrontation but it seems like it wasn't possible now.
Still, he isn't disappointed as he gained something noteworthy.
"What do you think Darkrai ?" Aoki asked calling everyone back except Charizard.
"My presence was detected the moment he appeared…as expected of a species having Mew's genes.
As of now, I cannot defeat the Pokemon. " Darkrai said.
"Don't worry about it, I got what I needed from this mission.
I am sure we will have our chance in the future…
Let's leave this place for now as people might come soon"
******
Aoki left the area on Charizard's back and landed on an open field far away from Saffron City.
This fight was a learning lesson for him too.
Although his Pokemon received a boost from Dark aura, it was not enough to take down champion-rank Pokemon.
He had to hurry up as all his future enemies are going to be way stronger than that.
Aoki had to make Gyarados, Shellgon, and Darkrai reach elite rank as soon as possible.
Now that Aoki has confirmed that Mewtwo has been successfully created and the seeds of doubt have been planted, he just needs to wait.
Aoki called out all his Pokemon and fed them some potions as the regeneration from Dark Aura kicked in.
Clefable got to work and started to heal the others, especially Shellgon and Gyarados who had taken the largest injuries.
'I really need to get another healer on my team' Aoki thought.
"First of all good job in today's battle everyone.
All my expectations were fulfilled…
Today's battle should be a great lesson for you all fighting against Champion-level Pokemon.
You should all have realized the power you must reach to face our enemies. "
Aoki had a detailed discussion about the fight with his Pokemon along with their opinions and viewpoints.
All of his Pokemon liked the fight against Beedrill as it made them see the Pokemon that they usually take down in one hit can be so strong.
Shelgon whose defense was broken so easily had a new determination to increase his defense and speed to a level that he becomes untouchable.
Gyarados had a regret that he had not reached elite rank yet as it would have made the battle a bit easier. Aoki assured him and told them to take their time.
All that matters is how much he has grown at the end of the day.
Aoki gave them some time to rest as took out the new Ultraball and released the injured Zapdos who was still asleep due to Darkrai's powers.
Making him drink two bottles of Full restore, Aoki asked Clefable to start healing Zapdos.
After a few hours, Zados opened his eyes and found that she was laying on an open field.
Zapdos realized that most of her injuries were healed but her strength had not returned and was still around master rank.
Turning his head he looked at the surrounding near her.
Just a few meters from her position, she saw a blue-eyed human sitting with the support of a Pokemon and staring at her.
Around the human were multiple strong Pokemons sleeping.
"You are awake huh…Nice to meet you Zapdos.
I am Aoki, the person responsible for the deal" the humans said making eye contact.
Although the human appeared to be normal but his eyes were a gate to endless darkness which made Zapdos feel like nothing more than a normal Pokemon.
" I have completed half of my deal, I will complete the rest when Sun rises.
Till then take some rest " the human as he closed his eyes without any worry in the world.
Just as Zapdos moved her wings, Charizard opened his eyes and looked at her with bloodshot eyes as if warning that he could kill her if she took a step further.
Zapdos didn't have a choice and did what was told.
All that matters is that she returned home safely.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
