Part 14

A. Light

Mewgi stood in his cave. "I have the perfect way to defeat those children. The bond between Michael and Skye has prevented me from defeating either of them. So, I will destroy that bond."

Mike stood at the beach. The water reminded him of the ocean at Pallet Town.

"Whatever happens, I will find my way home." He said. He thought of his friends.

"Rai?" Raichu asked him.

"Right." Mike said.

Suddenly they saw a shape. They ran up to the boy.

"I'm Mike." Mike said, holding out his hand.

The boy turned it away and said, "I'm Matt."

Matt's Raichu came up behind him. As the two walked past, Raichu's cheek's began to spark. "Rai." It gritted. Mike turned to Raichu after the duo were out of sight.

"You're right. I don't like him either."

"Everybody, meet Matt." Mike said.

Matt waved. Skye almost blasted up to him.

"HinicetomeetyouI'mSkyenicedayisn'tit,yes."

Matt smiled. Cozmo walked over to Mike.

"Looks like the perfect couple, huh?"

Mike smacked Cozmo on the face and walked away.

"I thought so."

Billy was feeding Pikachu while Mike was feeding Raichu. (Actually, Raichu was pigging out on Pikachu's food.)

"Where's Skye?" Jason asked.

"She's with Matt." Mike said.

"Is someone Jealous?" Billy asked.

Mike blushed. "What would give you that idea?"

Billy pointed to the sign on Mike's back that said "Mike likes Skye! Mike's Jealous!"

Mike crumbled up the sign. "Misao!"

Misao laughed. "It was Cozmo's idea."

Mike walked up to Cozmo.

"Yes, lover boy?"

Mike pulled Cozmo up with his shirt.

"Get-out-of-my-face." He then threw Cozmo on the ground.

It was night. Mike rubbed his eyes. His Psychic powers came easily now. Somebody would say that it would be anger from Matt, and that somebody would be right. Mike kicked the ground.

"This is so fun!" Skye said.

She and Matt came walking into camp. Mike dove behind a tree.

"Matt, I've had so much fun on this island since you came along. I just want to say..."

"What?" Matt asked.

"I love you." She kissed him.

The Next Morning...

Mike rubbed out his eyes and glanced at his watch. 5:30. Mike smiled. He was a late riser, but this was time for his plan.

Suddenly his Poke-Dex beeped. "Two of same DNA patterns in same area."

"Huh?" Mike dismissed the error in his Poke-Dex and walked outside his tent. Matt was standing there.

"Hi." Mike said, looking away.

Matt smiled. Mike fell to his knees.

"Remember the Rage attack?" Mike fainted. Matt smiled. "One of the children dead, Master Mewgi." He then walked off to sleep.

White. Everything was white with blurry spots of color. Mike blinked. Where was he? He felt the soft fabric of his covers beneath his fingertips. He was dressed in his usual pajamas. Mike blinked again. His vision cleared up a bit. He was in his room. 'This can't be. I was last with Skye, Cozmo, and the others when...when Matt duplicated Charizard's Rage. That's it! I'm home,' he thought. He let the last words resonate through his mind. 'I'm home. I'm home! I'm out of that island and I'm back home, safe under my covers!' he realized in delight. Then, guilt hit him. He had left his friends, old and new, by themselves on the island. He had deserted them. Wouldn't they like to know how to escape too? Cozmo's earlier words came back to him. "Look, why do you always have to act like the hero?" Mike clinched his left hand into a fist and released it. 'He's right.' Mike crawled under his covers and hid. There was the quiet sound of a door opening.

A feminine voice called out to him."Mike? Mike? Can you hear me? Please wake up, Mike. Please."

Mike looked over the covers. "Skye?"

Jess's face was over him.

"Hey, sleepy-head."

Mike looked up. His twin sister was here. Mike got up.

"I have to get back."

"What? You are back."

Mike whirled around to face her.

"Misty's worried. Same with Jake. Come downstairs."

Mike shook his head.

"No. I have to save my friends."

"Mike, your friends are here."

"NOT THEM!" Mike yelled. "The friends I abandoned when I was hit by a Giant Charizard's Rage when I was trying to save our island in the past from a giant Mewtwo!"

"Mike, what's wrong?"

"I'm going back!"

"Mike, I personally think that you're insane, but..."

"What."

"If you're going back, you might want to exchange one of your Pokemon."

"Hitmonlot's tired out."

"Fine then. Here's Graveler's Poke-Ball."

"Graveler?"

"Geodude evolved."

Mike took the Poke-Ball.

"Hit me with an attack."

"What?"

"Just do it."

"Okay." She powered up, and hit Mike.

Mike woke up, in the forest.

"I found him dead."

Mike's body was there, on the ground, with the Nine around it.

"He's dead." Cozmo said.

"How did it happen?" Darren asked.

"The Rage." Janice said, knowing. "It had a dormant effect."

Jason nodded.

"My god..." Misao muttered. Raichu stood by it's fallen trainer.

"If Mewgi is that powerful, we have to stop, or we'll all die." Matt said.

Everybody else nodded.

"No." Cozmo said.

"What?" Matt asked.

"I said No. I'm going to kill that scumbag."

Raichu nodded.

"He's too powerful, Cozmo!" Skye yelled.

"And so we stay here and let Mewgi come and kill us. No Way. Come on, Raichu"

Matt's eyes glowed green and Cozmo stopped.

"Chu!" Raichu yelled.

Matt smiled. "Time for me to reveal myself."

Matt glowed pink and became a giant Ditto. Suddenly, Ditto was hit by a ball of rolling rock.

"Gol!" The rock yelled. Golem slammed itself into Ditto.

"Good job!" A voice said.

11 heads turned. 22 eyes widened. 8 human and 3 Pokemon voices said the same thing. "Mike?"

Mike looked. "Well, yeah. Gengar! Help Golem!" Gengar came out, blasting away with Bleak Eternal.

Ditto was hit with the pure ghost power. Raichu jumped up and registered a Thunder that beat anything nature has ever supplied. Ditto was a fried crisp of glop.

"Golem! Gengar! Return!" Mike yelled. He turned to the others. "Long story. Really long."
