Location - Team Rocket Headquarters, Alola
Sitting on the head of the sleeping Eternatus was Giovanni, he wasn't sitting there for style no, it was because the energy released by Eternatus is highly nutritive on life, assuming they can withstand the energy that is.
While steadily gaining a powerful physique beyond what could've gained through hard work, talent, or Abilities, Giovanni listens to the report of his secretary, Matori.
"As expected, the teamwork of Eternatus and Mewtwo one playing as the eye and the other playing as the gun, they have managed to kill the soul attached to Solgaleo at the opportune time," Matori reports.
Although he had already gotten this report firsthand from Mewtwo, keeping the chain of command in check is necessary if he desires to keep order.
"Just cause the soul's dead doesn't mean Team Rocket should lower its guard. Find Solgaleo's soul and bring it here," Giovanni said. Once here, they'll kill him for good or as good as they can thanks to him being a Conceptual God. This would mean wiping out his soul so that when he do reborn again he lost all his memories, from there he would lack the experience to stop Red Chains from taming him.
"Cain?" Giovanni asks curiously. What decision did Progenitor Mew's son choose?
"Having confirmed you have managed to keep this world's order and seeing as there's no actual threat to your position he too has surrendered," She answered.
With that being the case, Giovanni can now use Cain or his daughter Risa to manage the Pokemon System seeing as the Universe Spirit is no more.
"However, due to his current form True Morph is no longer accessible to him and he'll not allow us to use Risa to do this,"
Arceus wasn't joking when he had said, only he can manage this world. Despite Mewtwo being the strongest Psychic-type, he is unable to properly manage 30% of the Pokemon System.
To be fair, thanks to the Universe Spirit, 60% of the Pokemon System is inaccessible without higher permission. Full permission can only be given by the Universe Spirit while Arceus has can use 60% which is enough to keep this world in order. The remaining 40% involves code fixing, debugging, creating, and some System Call restricted only to the Universe Spirit.
(A/N: The reason Arceus needs permission for the very thing he had created was because of the injury brought upon the Universe Core by Necrozma. It was only fixed after the Universe Spirit established itself with its Core, causing a large portion of the code to change.
"Finding Arceus' egg takes the highest priority. Find it," Giovanni commands. They need to find it and hatch it before the world starts to carry too many bugs and crash. As for how Arceus got rid of bugs when that's only the Universe Spirit could handle? Delete or Move.
At the very least, ERRORs aren't an issue with Eternatus around.
If they can find that egg before Mike goes about and waste it, they can get the world back to working order. Though it did also be nice if Mike ends up using the egg, that did mean they can find him instantly and kill him.
Though he doubts Progenitor Mew wouldn't make this game easy.
Yes to Progenitor Mew, his soon-to-be struggle for power against Mike is nothing but a game. With the bigger threat gone, no matter whether he wins or Mike wins, it's still a win for humanity.
This is something he too agrees with, but this doesn't mean he'll let Mike have to get his throne. He'll stay here until death does them apart and he'll do his best to stay alive.
With pretty much the world on his side there's no way he'll lose. He's not like Arceus who made too many enemies while still having a big threat. His current enemy is only Mike and Medusa, those who follow Mike only follow him thanks to Medusa. Even his sister mostly follows him due to their relationship with the additional hope of raping him.
As for Mike? He relies too much on Destruction to be a threat. What can Destruction do against Mewtwo and Eternatus?
Medusa is the real problem. Mewtwo would have to take her down instantly, sending numbers or Pokemon only slightly stronger than her would just make her stronger.
All that's left among the Ouroboros faction is MISSINGNO which can easily be stalled or defeated by Giratina. Regigigas well with the soul (System) gone, they just need to explain this and their deal will break even then they still have Pokemons that can stall or even beat Regigigas.
Take Kyurem for example. After faking his death with the help of Progenitor Mew, he had hidden himself in a cave training heavily. His pride must get hit hard after being beaten by Shub.
Speaking of Shub, they did need to pull that Pokemon over. A legendary mass-producing Pokemon is a must-have.
It's a good thing what he wants of Shub would be something its more than happy to help with.
"Finally, Red and Blue had separated in search of the Ouroboros faction,"
As long as they aren't ambushed, they together with their Pokemon could stall until reinforcements arrive. The problem is that it's unlikely for them to find the Ouroboros faction, as Giovanni believes they're hiding in Ouroboros herself.

Location - Route 1, Kanto
In the middle of Route 1, a battle between 2 trainers occurred, one none would've expected.
Red's Origin-Aura-enhanced fist slams into the dark purple barrier successfully shattering it and hitting the empty air behind it.
"Gotcha!" With the dark purple mist enveloping their battlefield blocking almost all forms of senses, Tatsumaki managed to get behind him, with her hands wrapping around Red's neck.
#Puppeteer: False#
Her dark purple nails slightly grew, stabbing into Red's skin and covering the wound in that dark purple glow. Even before Red can react, a dark purple marking spread across his body.
'Back,' a voice in her head sounded causing her to teleport a distance away, just in time to avoid an eruption of Origin-Aura from Red.
As the voice had predicted, using Puppeteer: False once wouldn't be enough and that's why she also spread it through his wound.
Aura disperses away from Red as he halts his movement with blank eyes.
'Thanks, Necrozma,' Tatsumaki thanked.
'Now, changed your shape & soul, remember from now on you're a Delia Green, now Delia Ketchum, the newlywed wife of Red Ketchum,' Necrozma explains.
The best hiding place for them is right beside the enemy.
Her Innate Ability: Puppeteer was as good as Necrozma had expected. Besides manipulating one, it can also be used to trick one's senses and pretend to be someone you're not.
An ability great for infiltrations.
(AN: Puppeteer: False, if you hadn't guessed right, is based on Arceus' Puppeteer)
Now, Necrozma just needs to wait long enough for her egg to hatch.
'Reincarnation sounds like fun,' Necrozma thought amusingly.
***
So how did Necrozma survive?
In short turn Tatsumaki into her backup chip, kind of like the System to Mike. The only difference is the Reincarnation Plane the System has to store Mike is something else for Necrozma.
Can ya guess?
On another note.
V7 Clash of Gods has ended.
Next up and finally the finale.
V8 Humanity Strikes Back!
Humanity has always been left on the side of this story, but this time it's different. The main antagonist is Giovanni and even his grunts have grown strongly with Eternatus' existence.
It's safe to say, this final volume should be mostly fighting after the first arc.
As for which Pokemon he ends up being.
Eternatus and Mewtwo are tied. Fix that for me or I'll pick myself.
Until tomorrow peeps.
