"Where the hell is Lance?" Cynthia screamed as she leaped to the side, just in time to avoid a poison-sting attack from an enraged Drapion. Garchomp swung past her, slashing the poison-type with his fin, before throwing a dragon pulse right on its face, as the dragon held Cynthia in her arms and leaped off the ground, arriving right in time to deflect a shadow ball that would have hit Steven from the right.

"Thanks." Steven breathed, his knee still hurt and bleeding like hell. The man looked like he had suddenly aged by ten years, as he dodged another burst of lightning from an attacking Magnemite before Skarmory banished him with one of her countless steel wings.

"Did Lance send any message?" Cynthia asked, directing Garchomp to help Skarmory and Metagross.

"Not yet. Lance and the Ace Team are unresponsive and off the grid. Besides, the psychic barrier is preventing all kinds of communication." Steven replied, his voice hoarse.

"Are you ready to finally surrender, Steven Stone?" Proton, who had a cut right across his face, snarled at him.

"You wish." Steven shot back.

Proton laughed aloud. A cold, cruel laugh filled with refined cruelty. "Your Champion has been dealt with. Lance, cannot come for anyone's help."

Steven's eyebrows widened. "You lie!"

"Do I?" Proton sneered. "Very well. I suppose if my words cannot convince you, see for yourself, the sight of your annihilation." He brazenly pointed high up in the night sky, as the Elite trainers followed his direction.

There, levitating in the night sky, was a humanoid creature, with his bulb-like tail waving softly in the night breeze. Despite the shadow, Steven could make out the shroud of armor all around the entity, as it watched the ship from its vantage point.

"The armored pokémon." Steven breathed with raw desperation, fear, and helplessness. Did Lance… did this pokémon kill Lance?

The shock of seeing the armored creature gave Proton the opening he wanted. Swirling his whip, he lashed out towards Cynthia, aiming to decapitate her, only for a sudden blur to push her aside, as the whip stuck rough skin.

" Thanks Garchomp" She said as she glared at Garchomp but no command was needed. Proton was still grinning devilishly, before his grin faltered, as a thin line of blood was visible on his neck, which then fell off, rolling on the floor, as his body stood lifeless, before joining its fallen part. Both Cynthia and Steven were too shocked to notice what had happened, though Metagross's eyes glowed a soft blue before turning pitch dark like always.

The Armoured Pokemon stopped as it glanced at the deck of the ship.

" Hmm, How is that possible ?!... Intriguing; this aura, this spirit still shines brighter than everyone even my partner. Who are you? "

Cynthia's Garchomp however, had other ideas. The draconic creature let out a howl, gathering an immense amount of draconic energy into its maw before releasing it all in the form of an orange mass, one that would reach high up in the air before releasing its most devastating attack.

Draco Meteor

Mewtwo watched with curiosity as the orange blob shot higher and higher into the atmosphere, before slowing down, before it finally settled in the air, hovering for a while, as it changed color into one of blazing silver, as it fractured into several blobs, one that looked like tiny meteors, which were projected towards Mewtwo. With a lazy thought, Mewtwo simply redirected the attack down towards the water, taking out a couple of Team Rocket submarines as well.
