Chapter no.141 Team Rocket's Attack part 8

Start from the beginning
                                    

Pulling out the Pokedex, I switched on the transfer but all I found on screen was static.

Just what was going on?

Why wasn't the transfer system working?

Was something interfering with it?

Did team rocket have some kind of transfer system jamming device

[ Three kilometers away from the present location of SS. Anne. ]

"Don't waste it, Champion Lance. You aren't going anywhere, tonight!"

The executive commander snarled.

"The ones at the ship will have to do it without your help."

"I'll be there, and you will be arrested." Lance snarled back, his fingers on his pokeballs. Dragonite had been having a hard time against the plethora of pokémon surrounding him from all sides. It was time to bring out the big guns.

Especially that Hydreigon. Lance thought bitterly. The dark draconic species from Unova was a real beast to deal with. Even Dragonite was having a hard time with it. Of course, it was easy to see that the beast was primal, untrained. But somehow, Team Rocket had infused it with all kinds of offensive attack moves—TM's obviously—and made it into a substantial threat.

Lance quickly recalled Dragonite. His starter had taken several hits from that beast of a Hydreigon, which needed to be dealt with quickly. The attack had proved to be a much greater threat than he had estimated.

At least the Ace Team will reach there in time.

"How… noble of you." A strange, unfamiliar voice reverberated all around him." Thinking about saving the ship even at the cost of your own life. Then again, you are the Champion, after all."

Lance stood agape, at the entity that had suddenly appeared in front of him. Levitating in the air, around twenty feet away, was a humanoid creature. Its entire body seemed to be enveloped in some kind of armor, while he could see a single cord-like structure connect its brain to its backbone as if the entire spinal cord had been modified into that structure. From the posterior, a rather thick tail-like protrusion extended out like an extended bulb shape.

"You…" Lance breathed, "-are that armored pokémon."

" Mewtwo," the voice reverberated once again. The surprising thing was, it seemed that despite being telepathically generated, the voice was audible, and could go as loud as Mewtwo wished it to be.

"Mewtwo," Lance repeated.

" Congratulations." Mewtwo returned. "You are the first person aside from my partner that I have deemed to share my name with."

Lance passively noted that even the Executives and their pokémon, even the Hydreigon, had stopped the battle to hear Mewtwo speak. Whoever this partner was, he was quite high up in the hierarchy, if not the Head of Team Rocket himself.

"Why me?" Lance asked, keeping his voice as casual as possible. Reaching the ship was still in the back of his mind, but getting out of the situation had a higher priority right now. Especially with the Executives around him.

"And humble too? I suppose you will give me a fair challenge."

'If you want a challenge, I'll give you one later." Lance answered firmly. "Right now, I have more important priorities at the stake."

"Hmm… interesting. I suppose you have a point. That means… you will have to be kept alive, to get me a decent challenge in the future…" Mewtwo pondered with an almost bored tone.

"Power plays are so… weird. "

His triangular slits in the armor above his eyes glowed bright blue, and suddenly, all of the Ace trainers were levitated in the air, all of them gasping as if someone had just grasped their throats tightly and raised them.

"Stop." Lance gritted his teeth.

The bluish shade turned a deep red before vanishing altogether, as several heads fell off from their bodies, the Ace trainers now decapitated, fresh, red blood sprouting out of their necks, as they hung lifelessly in the air. Almost instantly, Hydreigon was automatically summoned into its Pokeball which dropped to the ground as the executive started screaming his lungs out, before falling to the ground, seemingly lifeless, just like the trainers, though there was no blood on his person.

"What..... kind of monster is this?" Lance shuddered, gnashing his teeth, as his fingers etched closer to his pokeballs.
