Red's POV

April 19. 

A few days after we had reviewed the devices before us. We continued our trek towards Goldenrod city. Where it is rumoured that Team Rocket is planning on using a machine that can control Pokémon and take over the Johto region.

After grazing through the pictures of the hard drive Yellow graciously gave us. We were astonished to find things that were different in comparison to the drive Lyra and I picked up during our time travel. Bugsy was just as astonished as we were, there were devices that Team Rocket had created that were patented to control Pokémon to steal. 

'I can't explain how angry I am with Charles for taking Articuno captive. Whatever he is planning, he's up to no good', I said.

'You can say that, looks like the device we sought before had more information than we were expecting. Except for just Spider-Man movies', said Bugsy, trying to act calm.

'But if he controls the Radio Tower to control Pokémon, he'll be causing something else right? And it sounds kinda scary too', asked Yellow.

'He'll be creating a distortion which could affect the world around us. So, of course it's scary', explained Bugsy.

'There he goes again, talking science', I said. 'Bugsy, why ?'.

'Okay, let's not talk  and pretend none of this ever happened', said Bugsy.

'Calm down !', snapped Yellow. 'Not a good time to have an argument'.

She was right, the time surely wasn't on our side. Something didn't feel right, the atmosphere had suddenly changed from a light sky to a darkened cloudy day. Mewtwo, or Orchid, could sense the strange allure in the air as well. The forest had swayed from the wind as thunder danced across the sky ahead of us. Ilex Forest was becoming increasingly disturbed by this energy.

'Does anyone else feel like something is totally wrong with this?', asked Lyra nervously.

'I feel something is totally wrong with you', complained Bugsy. He smirked as Lyra glared at Bugsy.

My inclination of the situation didn't help as we watched with fearsome worriment. The sky had split across the darkened clouds. Thunder blared across the firmament as lights danced about and lit the trees up above us.

We were witnessing some strange activity being summoned in the skies above the trees as wind carried with ferocity across the treeline. 

Observing what looked like silhouetted figures above us, I knew that we were not alone. And the feeling was radical, as if something very familiar were about to arrive.

Mewtwo's POV

Either it was my partially legendary body or the guilt for losing Articuno to Team Rocket, that made me anxious. But no, we were in the thick of it, it was something else, I could sense it just as much as these humans can. There was an evil intent in the air. 

'So you can sense it too ?', asked Ditto. 

'There is no use in worrying now. I need to take to the sky', I said.

'What else for ?', asked Nidoking.

'I suggest you lot ask your trainers to get inside your Pokeballs immediately. If they come for you, they'll take you away from your friends'.

'What if they try to take you ?', inquired Hitmonlee.

'I am too powerful for them to capture. From the look of it, this team is weak. They have no Pokémon that can outsmart me, except...'.

'Mew ?', asked Ditto. 'Sorry'.

'Whatever it is, it's beyond me', I explained.

This is no ordinary Pokémon, with my gifted foresight abilities. This Pokémon looks exactly like me. The same design that humans have used and created. Team Rocket created another me? Another Mewtwo? But this Mewtwo does not belong here. He does not belong in this world.

What are they planning?

Yellow's POV

Orchid leaped up toward the air, like a bullet speeding towards an invisible target. I didn't understand why my Pokémon was reacting this way. I was certainly feeling worried about him and his behavior and I think everyone else around me kind of felt the same way.

'Where are you going !? You can't just run away like that', I yelped.

'Is Orchid alright ? What is he doing, if someone sees him-'. Said Lyra.

'This is bad. This is really bad'. Red freaked out.

'He may be leading us to the source of the strange vibration. If we follow him, he may be able to tell what it is that we are feeling'. Encouraged Bugsy.

I nodded towards him with agreement, there could only be one reason why he was responding erratically. Only Orchid knows the true nature of why the Planet felt like it was being disturbed. I quickly ran towards a large thicket of trees. My friends Red and the gang followed suit as I desperately pratted towards my Pokémon. There was no other place to go but straight ahead.

Orchid flew towards the rippled sky rapidly. Facing off against another powerful figure that looked just like him. 

'Red! Is that?....'

'Another Mewtwo?'. Said Red, finishing my sentence.

This Pokémon was wearing a large headpiece, with a narrow dark visor. Shielding his glowing blue eyes from within the tint's glare. Raising his arms up above the air like it was about to strike Orchid from where it stood.

'Look out!'. I shouted.

Suddenly, a man appeared beside the Mewtwo in question with a group of five to six members of what looked like Team Rocket grunts. This man wore a black one-piece outfit with a small "R" patch stitched to his fabric. He had a long trim across his sides with light blue hair and narrow eyes. Gazing at the sight with his curved glascow like smile. 

'Mewtwo, get him. Use Psychic !', shouted the Team Rocket Member.

After raising his arm to command the Pokémon. Mewtwo powered some charged beam of blue light along his right arm. My fears were all impenitent, my Pokémon was about to be attacked by the very group he swore to never destroy.

Mewtwo's POV

'You're not in control are you ?', I asked using my telepathy, but I didn't get any response.

I watched with intent scrutinization. This one was controlled and harbored just like I was when I was created in the lab. Humans are such fickle creatures. To be using this Pokémon with intent to harm. It's one of the reasons why I hated humans for the longest time.

But this Pokémon was being controlled from that helmet he was wearing.

If you can hear me in my telepathic mind, listen to my words. These humans don't care about your autonomy. Free yourself, free your mind.

The Pokémon had released his Psychic energy toward my direction. I used my shield to begin countering the attack. The beam struck the outside of my generated shield, nearly disintegrating its integrity after being summoned against my opponent's powerful spell.

My friends looked on with agitation as they observed alongside their trainers. They were intent on wanting me to avoid this conflict. After watching them with my third eye below, I could sense they knew what I was getting into was dangerous.

'Orchid! Don't do this! Let us fight with you!'. Cried Ditto as he transformed into my very form.

'It's too treacherous, like I told you all before, get inside your trainers Pokeballs. This fight will destroy you'. I assured with echoing might.

The ripple from behind closed the gap. After what I regarded was the rift, I thought I could see a small glimpse of a world that looked like ours. The world was also an Earth filled with Pokémon and people in it. But from a different era of time. 

This world? Its.....

The rippled gap stretched across the sky like a thin thread sealing whatever else came before it. I could sense with my third eye. That there nothing else escaping the signal I was able to visualize from clouds above.

No, I didn't want to believe it at first, but it seems. We are not dealing with the real Team Rocket.

Leaf's POV
[Pokemon Leaf Chronicles]

The trees sang with the wind and the birds chirped as I made my way across the bushes of this very world. I could sense that we were not particularly in the same region as before. This Earth was indeed different; however, it was also somewhat familiar. Team Love used to take me to this place when we took advantage of other trainers that travelled from within these very trails.

'Ilex Forest?'. I thought with wonderment.

We were in Johto!

This place was indeed familiar, and we could feel the wind breezing across the rusted leaves alongside the path ahead of us. There was no mistaking it. Team Rocket fled to another realm, and we crossed into that dimension alongside them.

'We are not in Kansas anymore, now are we?' Inquired Yellow.

'Don't go Dorothy on me yet Yellow'. I assured.

'...........' Said Red.

'Let's find out where they are taking this Mewtwo? If they use him for a specific purpose in this world, then we got to help those who are being affected by them, I want to save him. I want to save Mewtwo'.

They both nodded in agreement, this was our fight, and whoever was getting harmed or involved in this scenario during Team Rocket's charade. We want to be the first that they encounter. That this doesn't destroy the world that Solress had used with his freak Stargate experiment. 

'Do you sense the disturbance just as much as I do, Leaf?'. Inquired Yellow.

I nodded with acuity. This was not going to be an easy fight.

We'll need to figure out a way back after this mission is done, whatever it takes.

'I sure do, they are trying to find the other. Let's hurry and locate them as quickly as possible'.

Without hesitation, we galloped swiftly toward the sounds of thunder and flashing light. The world was in commotion and there was no stopping what was about to take place. The distortion and grey sky had created a grieving world. There was nothing else we felt.

Except complete, total twilight.

Giovanni's POV

My phone beeped and I woke up. I stretched my arms, then took a deep breath. Then, I answered the phone call.

'Hello ?', I asked, calmly.

'Giovanni, I don't know how, but they're here', said the voice of unknown partner.

'Wait what ?', I asked, my heart beat faster. 'How is that even possible ? I thought we cut all the connections ?'.

'I don't know', he said. 'I have a doubt. Last time we talked you said that you knew my true identity, how ?'.

'I thought you were Antonio. But no, you're clearly not', I said, I stood up. 'Wait. Charles, he is the only one in the power to do it'.

'What do you mean ?', he asked.

'Charles. Maybe he rebuilt the machine somehow, but I've been instructing him everything till now', I said.

'Well, now you have a traitor in the house. Good luck', he said, hanging up the phone.

I felt awful, like something very wrong was about to happen to me. And now that Charles wasn't on my side, I wasn't the actual Leader anymore, all I had left was the Rainbow Rocket.

'That's it', I said with a smile. I dialed a number in hurry. 'Hello ?'.

'Sir ?', asked Archer.

'Archer, I want you and Ariana to go to Goldenrod right away, and do not, I repeat, do not trust any Team Rocket person'.

'Okay sir', said Archer. 'But what happened ?'.

'I'll tell you everything, just go, now !'.
