Mewtwo opened its eyes, it seemed like it was the first time in years that Mewtwo had done so, and yet Mewtwo felt nothing, Mewtwo couldn't remember anything before this moment.
Mewtwo was in Mewtwo-X form, but then the left gauntlet fell off, then the right making Mewtwo go back to Mewtwo-Base, when the chest piece fell off it felt like Mewtwo could breathe, and yet Mewtwo still felt nothing.
And when the helmet fell off Mewtwo saw everything, Mewtwo looked around seeing the Pokemon surrounding it, seeing Ash, Green, and Gary standing across, and seeing the spectators taking note of things in its head.
Then finally Mewtwo looked behind it and saw Giovanni standing there looking shocked, like his very existence was supposed to be impossible, Mewtwo didn't know why but as soon as he saw Giovanni, Mewtwo felt anger.
Like every cell in Mewtwo's body was telling him to get revenge for something Mewtwo didn't even know, the darkness clouding his brain was only matched by the darkness around his body.
Mewtwo's eyes glowed as it raised one hand over its head, everyone was on guard since they didn't know what Mewtwo was going to do, but what surprised them was that Mewtwo wasn't pointing at any of them, but at Giovanni.
Mewtwo could feel that it was injured, and it could feel that its power was only now returning to it after what felt like years of darkness, but Mewtwo didn't care, to Mewtwo all that mastered was revenge for something that he didn't even remember.
Giovanni clenched his teeth, at this point any thought about 'winning' the Gym battle was gone, he pulled out the familiar Purple Pokeball and held it out to Mewtwo, "Mewtwo Re-"
Before he could finish Mewtwo closed its hand causing purple energy to glow from its palm, and then the Master Ball in Giovanni's hand was crushed like a tin can leaving everyone looking in shock.
Giovanni started gritting his teeth harder, everything was falling apart, he knew if he had his Pokemon he could probably beat Mewtwo in this weakened and suppressed state, but unfortunately, he left his Pokeballs in the suitcase.
Mewtwo stomped on the ground creating a tower that separated it from the other Pokemon and gave it a better view of Giovanni, as Mewtwo held its hand forward.
Giovanni felt the sudden pressure being put on him, he knew this was from Mewtwo and he couldn't afford to give up now that he had come so far, his eyes flashed a purple color as the psychic energy covering him was dispersed and he jumped off of his platform, effectively also disqualifying him.
Mewtwo was slightly confused as to how Giovanni pushed free but didn't say or do anything other than try again, this time lifting its other hand aiming to crush Giovanni.
Giovanni felt the strong preacher but quickly dispersed it and held his hand out towards the room, from it a Pokeball covered in purple energy came flying out and landed into Giovanni's hand as he threw it back revealing his Nidoking.
Nidoking came out and stopped on the ground and seeing Mewtwo he scowled since he knew all too much about this, "Nidoking [Earth Power]!"
Nidoking stomped on the ground creating a golden tremor that traveled above the tower Mewtwo created and exploded in a bright light at the top.
But Mewtwo waved it off as it looked down and sent fragments of the tower down aiming to shoot at Nidoking like a machine gun.
It was also safe to say everyone else was completely and utterly confused as to what the heck was going on, one second they were fighting, the next Mewtwo attacked Giovanni, Giovanni left the field and used some weird thing to grab a Pokeball and now they are fighting.
Gary and Green looked at each other and Ash as they looked more confused as to what to do now.
"D-did we win?"
"Should we do something?"
"W-what is going on?"
Ash of course was the only one who actually knew what was happening, Mewtwo regained control and was trying to break free, and it already did by breaking the Master Ball, now the only question was what to do now.
Mewtwo was weakened but even with that, he didn't actually think Giovanni could win with just his Nidoking, he doesn't want to help since if Mewtwo goes down then Giovanni will have it under his control again, but if he doesn't there may be more damage.
But before Ash could come to a decision it looked like Mewtwo made one itself.
Mewtwo knocked back a blast of [Shadow Balls] Nidoking sent rewards as Mewtwo used a [Psychic] on Nidoking sending him flying back and into Giovanni.
Giovanni managed to slow him down enough to where he wouldn't get hurt but as he started using more Psychic energy to try and bring more of his Pokeballs to him, Mewtwo raised both hands.
Mewtwo's hands were covered in deep purple energy as it looked like it gripped onto something, then as Mewtwo brought its hands down the windows along the ceiling started to crack and shatter as the sound of bending metal was heard.
Giovanni realized what was happening and immediately widened his eyes, "NO!!"
The building was being collapsed by Mewtwo as the ceiling began getting more covered, it began to get more and more compressed and the stone pillars began cracking.
Everyone began looking at the place in panic, no one had time to process the entire thing that just happened with Mewtwo and Giovanni nor did they have time to ask questions as stones from the marble began falling.
Everyone immediately started making their way to the door, except Giovanni, but before everyone on the bleachers could even get down a large piece of stone fell in front of the doors where they entered.
Everyone started panicking as their first thought was to try and regroup for something, anything in this circumstance, but then Ash whistled.
On top of Yellow's shoulders, Abra appeared and grabbed them teleporting her, Brock, Misty, and the cheerleaders along with any Poekmon they had, outside of the building.
As this was happening Ash, Green, and Gary reunited with their Mega Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise, all of which were still in their mega forms.
Gary looked at Ash, "Can't your Abra get back in here and get us!"
"Not that fast, she needs seconds that we don't have, so everyone gets close now!" Ash shouted as the building was beginning to crumble.
Giovanni was looking up only to see Mewtwo look down at him and teleport. Giovanni clenched his teeth and took one final look at Pikachu before turning to get to the underground passage.
Ash, Green, and Gary huddled in the center as Mega Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise huddled around them protecting them, Pikachu stood in the center watching everything as Ash clapped his hands together.
"Let's hope I have enough," Ash mumbled as he started using Aura and spread it out creating a bubble over them to try and soften the impact that was coming.
He was already kinda drained from putting Aura in the Keystone to make it powerful enough to mega-evolve 3 different Pokemon, but now he was using everything he had left in hopes it was enough.
In the final moments, a bright blue barrier appeared as the building finally came down, burying everyone, Ash, Green, Gary, and even Giovanni.

{Outside}
Everyone appeared with Abra sitting on Yellow's shoulders, it took them a second to register what happened as they were now standing outside but the sounds of crumbling marble quickly snapped them out of it.
They all turned to see the Gym start to crack and collapse in on itself, then they all noticed Ash, Green, Gary, and the Gym leader Giovanni Weren't out with them so that meant they were still inside.
Everyone turned to look at Abra, everyone was collectively about to shout at her to go back in there and grab everyone else, but before they could even bring the words out of their mouths the Gym collapsed on itself.
It took everyone a moment to process what just happened, and for a moment everything was silent for them as around them People who lived around the neighborhood looked out and saw the Gym in rubble, people immediately started calling the Police.
Meanwhile, they took a moment and then realized that they were under that rubble, the first person to move was Yellow who ran at the trouble and started pushing as much stone out of the way as she could.
She was almost on the verge of tears. How could she not, 3 of her closest friends were now under a building and she had no idea if they were ok.
As soon as they saw Yellow jump in Brock, Misty, and even the cheerleaders joined in trying to dig through the remains of the building.
As they kept digging suddenly movement was seen around the center as Mega Charizard and Mega Blastoise pushed some debris off them as Mega Venusaur was holding the 3 inside its Flower/Tree thing.
When they came out they all immediately untransformed back to base, and on top of Venusaur was Gary and Green supporting Ash from falling over.
As soon as everyone saw them they all breathed a sigh of relief and Yellow ran at them and pulled the 3 into a hug.

A few moments later they were all being questioned by police and the town Jenny about what happened, they all told the same story with varying details taken out and in.
But in the end, it basically boiled down to blaming Giovanni and 'whatever' Pokemon he was using, then it was confirmed by looking on the league website showing that they all had an official match with Giovanni.
Although none of the details about what Pokemon he was using were shown and no video of the match was found either, they did find out that they all technically won through disqualification.
In the end, the police that came couldn't link them to any crime, and the fact that Gary was Oak's grandson did help, so in the end they took the report and then took their leave but they also closed the area off.
After everything Ash took a seat and everyone sat down next to him as they all took a breath, "Man I'm drained, You guys wanna take a break for a while?"
"What?" they asked in unison
"I mean, we already have the badges we need so I'm just saying having a month or two of rest might be nice after everything that just happened."
"Well yeah, but we don't have the badge, sure we technically won but we still don't have it," Gary said.
"Oh don't worry about that," Ash said as he snapped his fingers, then Gastly came out of his shadow and opened her mouth revealing the badges, "I told Gastly to go get them after we confirmed we won."
Ash tossed the badges over to Gary and Green as they looked at it, "Huh, well I guess we did win, so it counts I guess…"
"But man, I guess it's a tie then, since we all technically got our badge at the same time," Green said.
"I mean it could be worse," Ash said in dry humor, but then Gastly poked his shoulder.
"JieJieJie"
"What's that? You found something else?"
"JieJie!" Gastly said as she brought out a pair of gloves, not just any, it was the ones Giovanni had on with the Keystones.
"What!?(°△°|||)" everyone said in unison
Ash looked at Gastly, "So you're saying you found these but not Giovanni, these were just abandoned on the floor?"
"JieJieJie( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈)" Gastly nodded proudly.
Yellow looked the most relieved, "That's good, so that means Mr. Giovanni is ok, he must have found a way out himself."
"Yeah, I guess…" Ash said knowing he probably did, then he looked at the Keystones and tossed them over to Green and Gary
"Here you go, you can deal with it," he said as Green and Gary barely caught the gloves.
"Wh-what do you expect us to do with these!" Gary asked.
Ash shrugged, "Keep them, make them into jewelry, use it to mega evolve, I mean I did just give you guys Mega stones, and you have those you got after the S.S. Anne."
"That's not the point, these aren't ours, what if Giovanni comes back looking for them!" Gary asked.
"Then give it back, just think of it as keeping them safe, and if he doesn't care then you have keystones now, either way, it's not my problem."
"Hey I'm with Ash," Green said putting the stone up to her ear, "I'm thinking of making this into an earring, if you don't want it then I'll be glad to have the pair!"
Gary pulled the stone back, "Fine, I guess I'll keep it, but if he comes back mad I'm throwing you under the bus."
"Well consider it compensation then, after all the Pokemon he was using may have done some collateral damage," Ash said as he pointed over to where Gary parked his car.
And within the once bright red car was now crushed under a few tons of marble.
"Wha- my car!!!"
