THE WEAKEST LINK
PROLOGUE: Awaken
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothingness... lack of thought...
There was... emptiness.
No feelings... no memories... no perceptions... nothing...
The consciousness stood on the edge of existence waiting to exist... yet, to say that it was waiting is ironic since neither time or space had any meaning to it.
Then... suddenly... a change.
Something changed... something appeared...
A desire appeared.
The desire became a thought... the thought a conviction.
Ready. The consciousness is ready... ready to exist.
CLANG!!!
A sound... there was a sound...
Its very first perception was glass flying everywhere... sounds of metal twisting and breaking, sounds of wires being cut... the sounds of machines...
The creature gasped for air as its instincts dictated it to inhale for the very first time... and as the air filled its lungs, the second perception was felt.
Liquid... and the wind.
It was wet, covered in something that it couldn't identify... and the air... so cold... so terribly cold.
A third perception...
Creatures stood around it, staring at it... strange creatures wrapped in white...
Its mind was awake now... and questions begun to flood in its young consciousness...
Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here?
Three questions... an echo... and it realized that its thoughts had reached the creatures.
It also realized something else... something about itself. Something about itself felt... wrong... and annoying. A tail... it had a tail... or rather two and the two just kept on colliding, non-stop, perpetually, continuously... and the tip of those organs being its most sensitive body parts, this caused its entire body to continuously twitch and sting.
"Who am I?" this time, it projected its thoughts to the creatures in an intentional way... and soon enough, ripples through the air were formed... voices...
"You are Mewthree." stated the creature closest to it.
Mewthree?... what kind of name is that?
"Give me the reports!" said the creature, turning to those similar to itself. The creatures nodded and gave strange white objects covered with black symbols to the creature...
"... Incredible! Truly, the experiment is a success!" Experiment? Mewthree wondered what experiment they were speaking about...
The creature turned to it, smiling... "Mewthree... you are the newest clone of Mew. You were created using DNA from your predecessor."
Mewthree raised an eyebrow. Clone? What was that about? "Clone? What do you mean by... clone?"
"You are an enhanced version of both the original Mew and the first clone." explained the creature, taking out a machine that displayed a picture of a strange creature... a cat-like, humanoid creature with white and purple fur... or maybe was it skin? Whatever it was, it seemed rather mean, tall, and powerful... "Your powers exceed the potential of both Mew and Mewtwo. Many fixes that made the first clone unstable were fixed as well."
"Why am I here? Why was I created?" Mewthree sensed its confusion grow... as well as a feeling of loneliness and emptiness...
"You are a Pokemon. You shall not ask yourself what is your purpose... but rather what purpose your master shall give you." Mewthree felt the cold wind... and it heard a voice that was vastly different from those of the creatures wrapped in white... a voice that awoke a feeling of fear within its heart...
"And... who is my master?" it asked this new voice.
One of the creatures approached it. He was covered in an orange stuff and his eyes were sharp, intensely threatening. As it stared into this creature's eyes, it felt tiny. No longer did its body twitch under the impacts of its two tails... it was only focused on that creature's powerful gaze.
"My name is Giovanni. You shall serve me. It is all you need to know." his voice was commanding and mocking...
So small... so weak... Did it have a mother? It sure wished for her to be here... its instincts, as a reaction to its fear, made it long for the loving embrace of the being who gave birth to it... although it did not know that such a being did not exist.
The creatures wrapped in white became less and less excited. It seemed as if Giovanni's presence had made the air so very heavy... so heavy it was unbearable. There was something about him that made everything seem worthless... an aura of corrosive selfish ambitions and cruelty...
"Leave us." Giovanni ordered to the scientists. The humans stared at each others, hesitating for a while... and then, they left, leaving the man alone with Mewthree.
Giovanni stared at the fruit of his efforts. He had been surprised, the day he found records of a certain Mewtwo... records of experiments he remembered nothing about. Indeed... it seemed as if he had been hunting the strongest Pokemon, Mew, for years and had created a clone of her. The clone, Mewtwo, went through artificial growth and was born as an adult... and then, Giovanni had attempted to control Mewtwo.
Mewtwo, however, could not be controlled. He was extremely intelligent... more than any human. Fiercely independent, he refused to become a common trained Pokemon and only agreed to work with Giovanni as a partner... and when Giovanni revealed his intentions, Mewtwo broke free... and the mightiest rival he ever had was awake.
Mewtwo was a surprisingly powerful foe. He used his powers and intelligence to develop incredibly advanced technologies and to make gigantic armies of enhanced Pokemon using DNA he gathered.
However, in the end, Mewtwo chose, for some reason, not to take over the world... and when Giovanni took the opportunity to attack Mewtwo's headquarters, he was defeated and had his memories and that of all of his troops removed.
Mewtwo could not be controlled... but this new experiment could.
It had been a mistake to make Mewtwo too smart and independent. It was also a mistake to make him be born as an adult.
By making this new Pokemon be born as a child, it would be easy to control it and shape its mind to his needs...
...
CLAC! CLAC! CLAC! CLAC!
Light filled the area as Giovanni activated the lamps of the arena.
Mewthree stood on one side, confused... "Why am I here?" asked the clone.
BZZZZT!
An intense surge of electricity went through Mewthree's body. It came from that strange collar Giovanni placed around its neck... and it caused pain in both the electricity shocking it and the tails which slammed against each others, hard, upon being filled with electricity.
"Obey." a single word, coming from the master...
"Why did... you hurt me?" the clone asked in confusion.
The terrible pain came again as well as the word. "Obey."
Its eyes stared sadly at the floor... at the cold, hard floor. Tears streamed down its cheeks as it stood, unable to understand the reason behind this pain...
A loud sound... and the roar of a scary creature.
Mewthree turned to see a humongous monster standing before it. The monster was about twice its size and was downright terrifying. Grey, rock-like hide... a drill-shaped horn... dull, empty, zombie-like eyes...
"Mewthree. Psychic." two words... and a commanding tone. An order?
The monster roared and charged forward. "Mewthree. Psychic." repeated the master.
Mewthree got on its four and started to run as quickly as it could, fear gripping its heart. That monster... it was going to rip it apart!
But then, the electricity stopped it in the middle of its tracks. It screamed both in pain and terror, the electricity coursing its veins and the monster charging toward it. It screamed in Pokemon language, screaming for its mother.
"OBEY! PSYCHIC!" the order came again...
BAAAAM!!!
Everything seemed to freeze. Mewthree's eyes locked in the eyes of the master... the angry master... eyes which shown only signs of cruelty and hatred...
Then, Mewthree rolled its eyes and felt both very wet and faint... as if its chest had opened and was emptying its content about... and cold sleep came...
...
Cold sleep... endlessly floating... and a vision... or rather, a feeling.
Air... a movement... wind...
Blinding light?... or blinding darkness? The vision is so bright and yet, the soul is shrouded in darkness...
The soul should be free... there are no boundaries and yet... everything is so bright and clear...
... and yet, the soul is crushed under an ominous feeling... and then, there is this strange feeling... barriers... invisible, oppressive walls that keep the soul trapped within a tiny box... claustrophobia striking while in the middle of the sky itself...
"You are not free." those words haunted the soul...
...
"She is awakening..." it heard the voice... and it awakened.
Mewthree slowly opened its eyes... but the light... the blinding light... it couldn't keep them opened... it wanted to shield its eyes from the light but the more it wanted to, the more frustrated she would become, causing its twin tails to sway faster and smack each others faster, causing its body to twitch more and more badly, each time the eyes opening wide open for a second causing much pain and extra frustration.
"The... the light... The... the light..." it sent its thoughts in a confused way, toward no one in particular.
"Sorry... It's my fault... sorry..." apologized the voice.
A shadow slowly appeared, shielding Mewthree's eyes from the intense light, allowing it to see where it was. A rather large, dragon shaped figure stood just in front of a source of intense light, protecting Mewthree from the light with its massive shadow... for the creature was about twice as tall as Mewthree and easily four times as large...
"News of your awakening traveled quickly. Welcome to the containment room." announced the hissing voice of the dragon figure.
Mewthree looked around, curiosity leading its mind... and it's then that its eyes locked on it.
A strange reflective surface, on the wall... a plate of a shiny material that sent back its image... or rather, her image.
Mewthree seen her own frame... and she printed into her mind her own physical appearance...
She remembered the hologram... the hologram of that "Mewtwo" creature... She was just a bit taller than half the size of that Mewtwo being. Just like him, her chest was armor-like... except that it was much more round, forming two curves which were the obvious signs that she had a pair of breasts. Her arms were about as thin and long as Mewtwo's but instead of three fingers, she noticed that she had five fingers, like a human. The fingers were large and round, like Mewtwo's. Her eyes were blue, sky-blue... and of course, there was those annoying tails which kept on colliding, causing constant twitching. Her lower body was kinda fat, which bothered her... although she was nowhere as fat as Mewtwo was. As a female, her hips were larger than Mewtwo's... although not too much.
An instinctive thought came to her... He is mature... she is not. Someday, she will be much more similar to him... although still different.
"I do not understand... This being... he said he the master... and he has hurt me..." she said, her heart filled with sadness at the memory of the pain...
"The master does not hurt those who obey." said the massive shadow.
"The master feed and protect those who follow his commands." said another voice.
"The master is kind. He protect and feed us... but he has no tolerance for weakness. He will not protect those who do not respect him." said a third voice.
A sudden sound... and the footsteps of three beings...
"SOMEBODY! GET THAT STUPID UMBREON OUT OF THE ROOM!" screamed the voice of the master, Giovanni.
More footsteps and then, the light disappeared and everything became so clear... and it was only then that Mewthree noticed that she was surrounded by many more beings than just the massive shadow. In fact, she could see now... she could see all of them...
A cat, a horse, a fox, two dogs, three dragons, a bird, a strange insect... so many new creatures which she could not identify... all of them, having a familiar aura... as if she had always knew them...
She remembered the cold sleep... the cold sleep of emptiness... she had felt other souls awaiting to exist... Were those creatures her brothers and sisters?
"So... this is Mewthree..." a being, wearing blue clothes and with a manly, deep voice, said this...
"Heh! This runt is the so-called ultimate Pokemon? What a joke..." a slightly higher pitched voice, coming from a being wearing red clothes...
"It may look weak for now... but Mewthree will become eventually become stronger than even Mewtwo! With it, the world will be ours!" said Giovanni, grinning evilly as he turned to Mewthree. Mewthree smiled nervously, hoping that it would make her master happy...
"Mewthree is worthless. It's nothing but a stepping stone for Groudontwo!" replied Maxie, staring at Mewthree as if she was just a common Rattata...
Archie reacted to Maxie's announcement. "Groudontwo? Kyogretwo will bring about the end of your worthless Groudontwo and of all continents! This world shall be one of oceans!"
Giovanni rolled his eyes. Team Aqua and Magma... such pathetic groups. He had been forced to cooperate with them however since Hoenn was their turf... and it was in Hoenn that Mewtwo and Mew were rumored to be. To get them to cooperate, Giovanni had been forced to promise them that the Mewthree project would allow them to clone Kyogre and Groudon. Ever since this fated day when the Orbs were shattered, the two Titans had fell asleep and the Teams' dreams had been shattered... unless the two Titans would be cloned.
Giovanni didn't cared about their projects, however. Mew was superior to Kyogre and Groudon. Mewthree will be vastly superior to Kyogretwo and Groudontwo... in fact, once Mewthree will have reached full power, disposing of his "allies" will be his first priority.
But for now... he has to bear with their stupidity...
"Stop, my friends!" said Giovanni to the two other crime lords. The two stopped arguing and turned to the leader of Team Rocket, crossing their arms, frowning and burning with anger...
"Rather than argue... why not test our new creations?" asked Giovanni, grinning. The two other crime lords stared at the master, thinking... and then, came to a decision together...
"Well... he have a point. Let us test our creations, now..." said Archie, a grin replacing his frown.
Mewthree smiled, happy to see that the master and his friends were happy now. At least, she assumed they were his friend since the master was getting along well with them... although it seemed the two did not go together well.
It had also seemed that they had spoken about removing the oceans and the continents... what is a continent? She will ask later. For now, she see the master turning to her. "The master is kind. He protect and feed us... but he has no tolerance for weakness. He will not protect those who do not respect him." she repeated the words to herself...
"Mewthree!" yelled the master, pointing at her... "Suicunetwo!" he yelled, pointing to some kind of red dog with a blue mane.
Instantly, Archie and Maxie burst out laughing. Giovanni turned to the two, his eye twitching madly. Mewthree seen that the master was angry... was he going to hurt her? She begun to tremble and to twitch, the tails striking each others with great force, causing a painful jolt of electricity to go through her nerves each time. She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain for the master's sake...
"You call THAT a Suicune clone?!?" asked Archie, unable to keep himself from laughing.
"What a joke! It's just an Arcanine with a weird blue mane!" stated Maxie, who had almost fell down from laughing.
Giovanni couldn't help it. Not all clones were successful... and although the scientists had tried to make a Suicune clone by mixing fragments of Suicune's DNA with an Arcanine's DNA... it was obvious that the attempt was a failure. Mew's DNA had maybe been ancient... but it had been well conserved, in a hidden temple, safely hidden away from the elements and microscopic Pokemon who may have destroyed it. On another hand, Suicune's DNA had been found in the middle of the forest and ironically, although it was recent, the DNA had been much more damaged and fragmented than Mew's ancient DNA...
But well... Mewthree needed target pratice... and killing a failure will build up its tolerance toward death. All of its instincts must be suppressed to the point where if Giovanni asks it jump off a cliff to its death, it will do so. His control must be total.
"Mewthree! Use Psy Beam against Suicunetwo! Suicunetwo! Use Ice Beam against Mewthree!" yelled the master.
Mewthree's eyes widened. She turned to Suicunetwo, hesitant. "I... I..." she hesitated. "Whatever the master says go. Obey or else!" said the dog Pokemon before opening its mouth. Blue and red energy swirled inside the dog's mouth and then, Mewthree's eyes widened as a small blue thunderbolt was fired by Suicunetwo, the Ice Beam heading straight toward her!
"OBEY! Dodge it!" ordered the master.
The master wanted her to dodge it... "Whatever the master says go." she repeated the words to herself and tried to move... but found herself paralyzed with fear! Her eyes widened in terror as the beam flew toward her... "I... must... obey... THE MASTER!" thought the clone to herself, trying to overcome her fear for the sake of the master... and with one mighty effort, her body finally responded.
"MEEEEEW!" cried in sheer terror Mewthree as she forced herself out of the way of the Ice Beam, her tails slamming against each others causing intense pain to mix to her terror...
"Mewthree! Psychic!" the master's order came to her...
The pain... it made her head hurts... it made her entire body hurt... hurt so much... hurt so much... She wanted the pain to go away... she wanted for it to go away...
Her eyes locked on Suicunetwo's frame. She wanted the pain to go to him instead... and as if by magic, the pain slowly subdued as Suicunetwo was surrounded in a blue aura that begun to grow and grow and grow as her pain became lesser and lesser and lesser... then, Mewthree felt an instinctive urge... to finish the blast and send that clone flying...
"Finish it off! Kill it! Psychic!" Mewthree gulped as she heard the order...
Kill it? But... but... why?!? Why did she had to kill it? She must obey but... but the enemy is subdued! Why kill it?!?
ZAAAAAP!!!
"MEEEeeeEEEEEEAAAARG!!!" screamed Mewthree, her body shocked as Giovanni punished her.
The master is kind... but he does not respect those who do not respect him... those who do not obey. For him to love her... she must do as he says...
The pain was so great... The desire to be loved and to have the pain disappear became greater than her fear of killing... and her eyes glowed blue as she slammed the failed Suicune clone with a psychic blast, sending it flying straight into the closest wall.
Suicunetwo's eyes widened one last time and he opened his mouth... but no sound would ever come out. The sheer power of the psychic force surrounded him was unleashed as Mewthree blasted him into the wall and the overwhelming force applied an incredibly high level of pressure on Suicunetwo's body... and instantly, his chest caved in, causing him to cough a red slime of sort... a red goo which used to be his heart, lungs, and all other inner organs. Then, his paws and tails exploded, blood flung out of the exploding tips... and finally, the head was crushed against the wall, a white and red mixture leaking from the opened sides of the crushed skull and splattering all over the wall.
The gruesome death scene replayed itself once in Mewthree's horrified mind... then twice, at a slower pace... then a third time, even more slowly... then a fourth time, even more slowly... everytime, the look of sheer terror and pain becoming more and more evident on Suicunetwo's face...
"I... I... I killed him..." she repeated to herself, sweating all over, her legs trembling...
Red liquid splattered everywhere... She had ended a life... she had destroyed a soul... for the sake of the master...
She was... a murderer.
"Excellent! Good job!" she barely heard the master's voice... all that she seen was the memory of the Suicune clone's eyes as he was being crushed into the walls... a look of sheer terror...
She would never forget this traumatizing, nightmarish sight... never...
"See? Did you see its power? Imagine what its power will be once it will have matured! The ultimate Pokemon!" said Giovanni.
Archie and Maxie stood there, not believing it. A mere baby Pokemon, blasting an Arcanine with enough power to splatter it over the wall like a Caterpie, causing an earthquake because of the sheer strength of the impact...
This attack... to equal such a powerful attack, it would normally take a dozen of full experienced Alakazams and Gardevoirs and now, this little baby Pokemon does this so easily...
Archie and Maxie slowly got over their shock... This Mewthree was a stepping stone to Groudontwo and Kyogretwo. Considering how strong this stupid cat is... they could barely start to imagine just how crazy strong their own clones will be!
The three crime lords stood there, all three staring at each others, planning to betray each others...
...
Somewhere else, two figures sensed the powerful psychic shockwave... and two pairs of glowing eyes opened themselves.
"Time flow like a river... and history repeats..." stated sadly one of the voices...
"Maybe it does... until someone take advantage of it, at least!" replied the second voice.

Summary: What is true power? One might be surprised to learn of who is strong... and of who is weak.

"You are not free." those words haunted the soul...
...
"She is awakening..." it heard the voice... and it awakened.
Mewthree slowly opened its eyes... but the light... the blinding light... it couldn't keep them opened... it wanted to shield its eyes from the light but the more it wanted to, the more frustrated she would become, causing its twin tails to sway faster and smack each others faster, causing its body to twitch more and more badly, each time the eyes opening wide open for a second causing much pain and extra frustration.

"The master is kind. He protect and feed us... but he has no tolerance for weakness. He will not protect those who do not respect him." said a third voice.
A sudden sound... and the footsteps of three beings...
"SOMEBODY! GET THAT STUPID UMBREON OUT OF THE ROOM!" screamed the voice of the master, Giovanni.
More footsteps and then, the light disappeared and everything became so clear... and it was only then that Mewthree noticed that she was surrounded by many more beings than just the massive shadow. In fact, she could see now... she could see all of them...
A cat, a horse, a fox, two dogs, three dragons, a bird, a strange insect... so many new creatures which she could not identify... all of them, having a familiar aura... as if she had always knew them...
She remembered the cold sleep... the cold sleep of emptiness... she had felt other souls awaiting to exist... Were those creatures her brothers and sisters?
"So... this is Mewthree..." a being, wearing blue clothes and with a manly, deep voice, said this...
"Heh! This runt is the so-called ultimate Pokemon? What a joke..." a slightly higher pitched voice, coming from a being wearing red clothes...
"It may look weak for now... but Mewthree will become eventually become stronger than even Mewtwo! With it, the world will be ours!" said Giovanni, grinning evilly as he turned to Mewthree. Mewthree smiled nervously, hoping that it would make her master happy...
"Mewthree is worthless. It's nothing but a stepping stone for Groudontwo!" replied Maxie, staring at Mewthree as if she was just a common Rattata...
Archie reacted to Maxie's announcement. "Groudontwo? Kyogretwo will bring about the end of your worthless Groudontwo and of all continents! This world shall be one of oceans!"
Giovanni rolled his eyes. Team Aqua and Magma... such pathetic groups. He had been forced to cooperate with them however since Hoenn was their turf... and it was in Hoenn that Mewtwo and Mew were rumored to be. To get them to cooperate, Giovanni had been forced to promise them that the Mewthree project would allow them to clone Kyogre and Groudon. Ever since this fated day when the Orbs were shattered, the two Titans had fell asleep and the Teams' dreams had been shattered... unless the two Titans would be cloned.
Giovanni didn't cared about their projects, however. Mew was superior to Kyogre and Groudon. Mewthree will be vastly superior to Kyogretwo and Groudontwo... in fact, once Mewthree will have reached full power, disposing of his "allies" will be his first priority.
But for now... he has to bear with their stupidity...
"Stop, my friends!" said Giovanni to the two other crime lords. The two stopped arguing and turned to the leader of Team Rocket, crossing their arms, frowning and burning with anger...
"Rather than argue... why not test our new creations?" asked Giovanni, grinning. The two other crime lords stared at the master, thinking... and then, came to a decision together...
"Well... he have a point. Let us test our creations, now..." said Archie, a grin replacing his frown.
Mewthree smiled, happy to see that the master and his friends were happy now. At least, she assumed they were his friend since the master was getting along well with them... although it seemed the two did not go together well.
It had also seemed that they had spoken about removing the oceans and the continents... what is a continent? She will ask later. For now, she see the master turning to her. "The master is kind. He protect and feed us... but he has no tolerance for weakness. He will not protect those who do not respect him." she repeated the words to herself...
"Mewthree!" yelled the master, pointing at her... "Suicunetwo!" he yelled, pointing to some kind of red dog with a blue mane.
Instantly, Archie and Maxie burst out laughing. Giovanni turned to the two, his eye twitching madly. Mewthree seen that the master was angry... was he going to hurt her? She begun to tremble and to twitch, the tails striking each others with great force, causing a painful jolt of electricity to go through her nerves each time. She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain for the master's sake...
"You call THAT a Suicune clone?!?" asked Archie, unable to keep himself from laughing.
"What a joke! It's just an Arcanine with a weird blue mane!" stated Maxie, who had almost fell down from laughing.
Giovanni couldn't help it. Not all clones were successful... and although the scientists had tried to make a Suicune clone by mixing fragments of Suicune's DNA with an Arcanine's DNA... it was obvious that the attempt was a failure. Mew's DNA had maybe been ancient... but it had been well conserved, in a hidden temple, safely hidden away from the elements and microscopic Pokemon who may have destroyed it. On another hand, Suicune's DNA had been found in the middle of the forest and ironically, although it was recent, the DNA had been much more damaged and fragmented than Mew's ancient DNA...
But well... Mewthree needed target pratice... and killing a failure will build up its tolerance toward death. All of its instincts must be suppressed to the point where if Giovanni asks it jump off a cliff to its death, it will do so. His control must be total.
"Mewthree! Use Psy Beam against Suicunetwo! Suicunetwo! Use Ice Beam against Mewthree!" yelled the master.
Mewthree's eyes widened. She turned to Suicunetwo, hesitant. "I... I..." she hesitated. "Whatever the master says go. Obey or else!" said the dog Pokemon before opening its mouth. Blue and red energy swirled inside the dog's mouth and then, Mewthree's eyes widened as a small blue thunderbolt was fired by Suicunetwo, the Ice Beam heading straight toward her!
"OBEY! Dodge it!" ordered the master.
The master wanted her to dodge it... "Whatever the master says go." she repeated the words to herself and tried to move... but found herself paralyzed with fear! Her eyes widened in terror as the beam flew toward her... "I... must... obey... THE MASTER!" thought the clone to herself, trying to overcome her fear for the sake of the master... and with one mighty effort, her body finally responded.
"MEEEEEW!" cried in sheer terror Mewthree as she forced herself out of the way of the Ice Beam, her tails slamming against each others causing intense pain to mix to her terror...
"Mewthree! Psychic!" the master's order came to her...
The pain... it made her head hurts... it made her entire body hurt... hurt so much... hurt so much... She wanted the pain to go away... she wanted for it to go away...
Her eyes locked on Suicunetwo's frame. She wanted the pain to go to him instead... and as if by magic, the pain slowly subdued as Suicunetwo was surrounded in a blue aura that begun to grow and grow and grow as her pain became lesser and lesser and lesser... then, Mewthree felt an instinctive urge... to finish the blast and send that clone flying...
"Finish it off! Kill it! Psychic!" Mewthree gulped as she heard the order...
Kill it? But... but... why?!? Why did she had to kill it? She must obey but... but the enemy is subdued! Why kill it?!?
ZAAAAAP!!!
"MEEEeeeEEEEEEAAAARG!!!" screamed Mewthree, her body shocked as Giovanni punished her.
The master is kind... but he does not respect those who do not respect him... those who do not obey. For him to love her... she must do as he says...
The pain was so great... The desire to be loved and to have the pain disappear became greater than her fear of killing... and her eyes glowed blue as she slammed the failed Suicune clone with a psychic blast, sending it flying straight into the closest wall.
Suicunetwo's eyes widened one last time and he opened his mouth... but no sound would ever come out. The sheer power of the psychic force surrounded him was unleashed as Mewthree blasted him into the wall and the overwhelming force applied an incredibly high level of pressure on Suicunetwo's body... and instantly, his chest caved in, causing him to cough a red slime of sort... a red goo which used to be his heart, lungs, and all other inner organs. Then, his paws and tails exploded, blood flung out of the exploding tips... and finally, the head was crushed against the wall, a white and red mixture leaking from the opened sides of the crushed skull and splattering all over the wall.
The gruesome death scene replayed itself once in Mewthree's horrified mind... then twice, at a slower pace... then a third time, even more slowly... then a fourth time, even more slowly... everytime, the look of sheer terror and pain becoming more and more evident on Suicunetwo's face...
"I... I... I killed him..." she repeated to herself, sweating all over, her legs trembling...
Red liquid splattered everywhere... She had ended a life... she had destroyed a soul... for the sake of the master...
She was... a murderer.
"Excellent! Good job!" she barely heard the master's voice... all that she seen was the memory of the Suicune clone's eyes as he was being crushed into the walls... a look of sheer terror...
She would never forget this traumatizing, nightmarish sight... never...
"See? Did you see its power? Imagine what its power will be once it will have matured! The ultimate Pokemon!" said Giovanni.
Archie and Maxie stood there, not believing it. A mere baby Pokemon, blasting an Arcanine with enough power to splatter it over the wall like a Caterpie, causing an earthquake because of the sheer strength of the impact...
This attack... to equal such a powerful attack, it would normally take a dozen of full experienced Alakazams and Gardevoirs and now, this little baby Pokemon does this so easily...
Archie and Maxie slowly got over their shock... This Mewthree was a stepping stone to Groudontwo and Kyogretwo. Considering how strong this stupid cat is... they could barely start to imagine just how crazy strong their own clones will be!
The three crime lords stood there, all three staring at each others, planning to betray each others...
...
Somewhere else, two figures sensed the powerful psychic shockwave... and two pairs of glowing eyes opened themselves.
"Time flow like a river... and history repeats..." stated sadly one of the voices...
"Maybe it does... until someone take advantage of it, at least!" replied the second voice.
