Legendary Shadow

Editor: Phema2241

Mewtwo came out, shocking the world. Everybody there was whispering as they had never seen a Pokémon like this before and everyone that had a poke-dex tried to get information on him but 'Data Unavailable' always turned up on their dex.

The next battle started as the announcer announced the start of the battle. "Mewtwo got into position." As Liam said this, his eyes started to glow while Jolteon too had electricity surging around it as it prepared its Thunderbolt attack.

Suddenly, the electricity disappeared as a psychic barrier formed around Jolteon and blasted him away from Ayra who was left speechless at what just happened. She thought she had Liam on the ropes but this new Pokémon that had come out was way beyond what she has ever seen before. She ran towards Jolteon to make sure he was okay as he had slammed into the stadium's wall unconscious.

Liam quickly returned Mewtwo as the announcer deemed Liam the winner of the match.

Liam started to walk away when Ayra called out to him and asked, "What kind of Pokémon was that? Are you cheating? Is that some sort of legendary Pokémon? It is not fair that we lost so easily against you. I demand a rematch and for us to ban that Pokémon that you just used because it's not on the list for Johto Pokémon or any other region's Pokémon for all I know."

Liam shook his head and responded by saying, "Don't be a sore loser. You lost a match so, go back and train harder. Then maybe next time you can become the Champion." As he walked away, the crowd was cheering for him.

Ayra was upset but she could not do anything about it. The loss was a loss, she just had to move on and try again next time.

The Elite Four members saw this battle and started to panic. 'What kind of Pokémon was that?' they all thought and wondered whether they themselves would be able to beat this kind of Pokémon if they were to face it.

Gary, who was watching the match alongside Ash, could not believe it. Liam had once again pulled out a trump card that he needed to face and wondered whether his own Legendary Pokémon would be enough to take on Liam at this point.

Gary shook off the fear that was coming into his heart quickly before it could affect his Pokémon as he said to himself, 'No I must beat him this time around. It does not matter if his Pokémon are stronger than mine. What matters is that it is all about technique and confidence. I will beat him this time around. I've trained all year round for this so I must win.'

Ash just looked at Gary, smiled and said, "You have to beat me first before you even think about going for Liam." Gary smirked but did not say anything.

Liam got back to his room as he was welcomed by his family and they celebrated another well-fought victory.

The next day announcements came through and it said that Liam would not have to face off against anybody else and he was automatically going to be put in first place and whoever was to win the following matches would get to face off against him. The crowd was in an uproar and could not believe that Liam had moved on just like that without battling anymore.

But the decision that the League made was quite smart since nobody would be able to beat Liam at this stage. They wanted to see who would at least get into second place and have the right to battle against Liam. It seemed like his identity had been put out there as the Champion of the Kanto region.

Now, the whole crowd knew and understood why Liam was able to battle his way through so easily. He had many admirers and many people that hated him but overall, everybody respected his strength, and the League was going to use this as an opportunity to have good faith with Liam.

Liam wondered how his identity was able to get out there, but he did not think too much about it and just accepted the fact that he would have some days off to relax and train until his next challenger was to be determined. He knew that it would be between Ethan and Gary since they both possess Legendary Pokémon, but he did not know which one would come out on top.

If he had to put his money in, he would go for Gary since Gary has more experience and is using Electric type Pokémon against Ethan's water type Pokémon. The advantage was as clear as day and night.
