Pokemon: Alpha and Omega

Chapter 89

Mew gracefully dodged shadows psystrike as Mewtwo's drain punch connects with shadows ribs, before getting hit at point blank range with a shadow ball. As Mewtwo was knocked away Shadow returned its focus on Mew, but was instead left gasping as Mew hit it in the stomach with iron head.

The addition of Mew to the battle turned the tide of the battle against Shadow. Mewtwo had been able to keep up with Shadow, leaving neither one having a definitive advantage. But now that Mew had joined the battle it was only a matter of time till Shadow was defeated.

Despite its position Shadow continued to fight with everything he had, determined to prove his worth over its predecessors. Shadow was preparing to attack with a dark pulse, but paused as they all felt a sudden chill run down their spines. They all looked as Arceus launched an attack up into the air. Following his instincts Shadow tried to quickly fly away to get above the attack, however mewtwo used foul play, grabbing Shadow by its tail and sending it back towards the ground.

Shadow crashed hard into the ground, but it didn't just lay there. Arceus had just used judgment, and it was only a matter of time before the attack began to crash into the ground as well. Shadow tried to to take off and escape the attack, but Mew and Mewtwo had unleashed a barrage of shadow balls, they weren't going to let their opponent escape.

Spheres of black and violet energy rained down upon Shadow, as light screen was used to defend. Explosions erupted all around as Shadow withstood the assault, not forgetting about Arceus' attack also on the way. It's only thought that brought any hope was that Mew and Mewtwo would have to cease their attacks so they could escape as well.

And as predicted the shadow balls eventually stopped, and Shadow was left hidden in a cloud of dust. It was about to make a run for it, but was haulted by Mewtwo using brick break to eliminate light screen. The chop broke through the defensive barrier, and continued to strike Shadow right between its eyes.

Shadow grabbed its face in pain, but by the time it looked back Mewtwo had backed away to Mew, and they were engulfed in a green barrier that formed around them. Shadow thought this was its chance to escape, but it was too late. Before it could even look up the first strike from Arceus' judgment made contact with its head.

One after another the attacks crashed into the ground and anyone or thing in their way. The ground shook violently as if the world were about to split in two. After the final strike all became deathly silent as the dust from the impacts filled the air.

Shadow laid on the ground breathing heavily, somehow managing to survive the attack. As he pushed himself up he tried to look around, but the dust blocked his view. He tried to stand up, wincing from the pain of his injuries. Using his psychic abilities he levitated to an upright position and tried to sense his surroundings.

Almost immediately he realized he wasn't alone, Mew and Mewtwo were still alive, and their presence felt strong. He tried to fly away and retreat, but out of nowhere a fist stretched out from the cloud and smashed into his face. Then before he knew it an arm quickly wrapped around his neck as a hand grabbed into the side of his head.

"Please stop this," Mew pleaded as Shadow struggled against Mewtwos hold. "Giovanni is all but defeated, and Arceus will welcome you warmly as he did..."

Crack

"You left me no other choice," Mewtwo said to Shadow, as his body became limp and he fell to the ground.

"Why?" Mew asked in confusion as it looked up at the genetic pokemon. "He could have joined us as you did. He could have been family."

"No," Mewtwo replied coldly. "I had tried to bring him over already, but he was too loyal to Giovanni, we couldn't risk trying to trust him." Mewtwo turned to face Arceus as several of the legendary pokemon started to get back up or released their barriers. "Especially now. We couldn't risk he would turn on us mid battle."
