Hey guys! Happy Memorial Day weekend! This is officially the longest chapter I have written yet! 3 POVs in this chapter! I hope you enjoy it!

Cilan and Iris slumped to the ground in exhaustion. They had spent their entire day looking for a way off the island. They had shouted, started a signal fire, and walked around the island numerous times. Back at the beach, they were silent. Both of them were extremely worried for Ash and the Pokemon. Normally, they would have attempted to swim off the island, but the current was way too strong. Team Rocket had done a marvelous job at marooning them.

Before they could get too comfortable, both of their stomachs growled in hunger. Cilan sighed, and reluctantly stood up, and went over to a dying fire. After the attack on them, Cilan managed to find all his cooking utensils. While he added some more firewood, he grimaced at the supply of food they had. Tomorrow, they would definitely need to forage for more. A little while later, Cilan handed Iris a small bowl of a simple soup. She got the biggest portion, while Cilan got a rather small size. Not caring, the teen eagerly started devouring his meal, and within minutes it was gone. Cilan allowed himself a small smile; if Ash were here, he would have eaten it even faster. He wondered what Team Rocket would do to Ash, and shivered at the thought. The Rocket Boss didn't seem very pleasant.

Iris interrupted his thoughts, "Thanks Cilan." She put the empty bowl on the ground and stared at the ocean. She asked quietly, "Do you think anyone will find us?"

Cilan hesitated for a second before he replied, "Of course. Someone's bound to notice that we're missing." There was more silence, as the two watched the sunset. They continued to make small talk, discussing what they would do when they were rescued.

Cilan found himself chuckling, "Yes, I bet Ash has already escaped! He has a knack for getting out of sticky situations like these ones!" Both kids laughed, envisioning Ash's escape in their minds. In their heads, Ash would pull some impossible stunt to get away from Giovanni. Then, he would find Pikachu and all of their Pokemon. He would battle all the Rockets, and finally stop their master plan. Later, he would be flying on some Legendary, and would pick them up. While Iris continued talking about Ash, Cilan stopped his laughing. Something told him that this time was different. Being older than both Ash and Iris, he had a wiser personality. Cilan started to realize just how unlikely it was for Ash to escape. He had to remember that Ash was just a kid, and not a superhero. Sometimes, all of his deeds made him forget that.

Without warning, the sea started to violently churn. Surprised, both kids jumped up in fright. The wind started to pick up speed, and they shielded their eyes from any debris. Cilan looked at the water, and saw a giant whirlpool starting to form. There was a large rumble, and something burst out of the water. It was a huge Pokemon, but Cilan didn't get to see which one. Water from the blast soaked them and clouded their vision. All wet, Iris and Cilan stood back up, feeling a bit wobbly after being hit with water.

The giant Pokemon landed beside them, creating some more wind as it landed. Iris backed up, looking up at the great monster. It seemed to be a giant bird-like Pokemon, white in color, but with blue around its eyes, and protrusions on its back. Its wings resembled hands, and it just stared at them. Cilan had seen a picture of this Pokemon once, but he couldn't recall what its name was. Both the kids and the creature stared at each other.

Finally, the creature spoke with a deep voice, "You are friends of the Chosen One?" Normally, Cilan would have been surprised, but after all that had happened, he wasn't. This Pokemon communicated with telepathy, just like Shaymin and Mewtwo did. He figured the Chosen One was Ash.

Cilan nodded, "Yes, but who are you? I know I've seen you before."

The Pokemon replied, "I am Lugia. Where is my Chosen One? He needs to answer the call once again." Cilan and Iris looked down at floor in disappointment. Lugia noticed the kids' distress.

He said, "I take it he is not with you?"

Iris called out, "No, Ash was taken by Team Rocket, along with other Legendary Pokemon." Lugia gave out a pained roar when Cilan mentioned that Mewtwo was one of the ones taken.

Lugia solemnly said, "Mewtwo warned me to escape the Kingdom of Arceus. And I cannot even repay him. Very well, I shall deal with this Team Rocket threat, and free the Chosen One."

Iris said, "There is one thing you should also know. Ash is the Legend Master."

Lugia seemed to chuckle, "Of course he is. I always knew he would be a candidate. You see, all Legendary Pokemon can feel when a Legend Master is created. We try to come to him when he calls."

Cilan nodded, and then asked, "Are others okay? Where have the rest been?"

Lugia replied, "In hiding, unfortunately. None of us want to make our presence known during these times. Team Rocket could capture us rather easily now. If we are together, the chances of being caught would increase. So, we have stayed apart." This rule applied to what had happened with Mewtwo, Mew, Shaymin, and Victini. They had all gathered in one place, and all were caught in one raid. Cilan and Iris quickly explained the situation they were in. Lugia was disappointed when they didn't know where Ash was taken.

Lugia finally said, "You should not be in this situation. I will take you back to Unova, and you will stay there. I have a friend that will look after you." When they heard this, their spirits deflated a little bit. Cilan and Iris were both hoping that Lugia would allow them to help, and not just cast them off as useless civilians.

"But we want to help! My Pokemon were stolen from me, and Team Rocket needs to be brought to justice!" While Iris was saying this, she was on the verge of tears. She didn't know if Team Rocket would harm her Axew. After all, she knew he wasn't the strongest, and Team Rocket didn't go out of their way to treat any Pokemon well.

Cilan agreed, "Yes! You can't do this by yourself! We can help serve up a battle plan that will not be so tasteful for Team Rocket!" When Cilan got passionate about something, his culinary vocabulary was obvious.

Iris added, "Yeah, please Lugia?"

Lugia hollered, "No! As a Legendary, it is my duty to defend both Pokemon and humans. I will not have any unnecessary involvement from children!" Noticing the startled look from the kids, Lugia said a littler gentler, "It is nothing against you. We already have one child kidnapped, and we cannot risk the safety of anymore. It is our and the Legend Master's responsibility to handle this. You may help by staying out of the way. Am I clear, children?" Cilan nodded glumly, and Iris didn't react for a moment. Cilan nodded at her, and Iris agreed with Lugia.

She said, "I don't like it, but please make sure my little Axew is safe." Lugia nodded at the girl's request, and told the children to climb on his back. A little hesitant at first, but glad to be getting off the island, they climbed onto the giant Pokemon. Cilan went up first, and then helped Iris get on.

After they were situated, Lugia said, "Hold on." Cilan sat nearest to his neck, with Iris holding onto him for dear life. Lugia launched itself into the dimming sky, and flapped its great wings. Soon, they were airborne, and the kids were rather protected from the cold and wind. Cilan couldn't believe that he was actually riding a Legendary Pokemon. His hands were touching the feathers of the mighty Lugia. Before they flew away from the Sevii Islands, Cilan prayed that he had made the right decision.

Pain surrounded Mewtwo in every sense of the word. He knew he was in Team Rocket custody, but he couldn't open his eyes at all. The pain was too intense to do anything. It was similar to what happened back in Johto, and Mewtwo hated it. He was sure Giovanni was trying to manipulate him, and his will. Thoughts of making the pain stop circulated through Mewtwo's brain. If he let Giovanni take his will away, the pain would cease. How wonderful that would feel…Mewtwo focused himself. If he surrendered, Ash would have no one to help him. He took on the role of Ash's mentor, and he would have to try. If he did try to escape, he would be out of energy, and this time there wouldn't be a healing lake nearby. He had to hang in there. To ignore the pain, Mewtwo looked back on all of his memories.

Of course, the first memory that Mewtwo thought of was Ash's death. The one thing he would never share with the boy. He and Mew had caused that, and it wasn't helping Mewtwo at all. Quickly trying to get rid of it, he thought of another. He focused on the time when Ash helped him realize that he did have a right to live. If Mewtwo could smile, he would at the moment. He couldn't believe he had formed a close companionship with the child. Mewtwo was used to evil humans, but Ash proved to be different. Mewtwo was amused by the picture forming in his head; a vicious, mutant Pokemon, with a young, carefree boy. What a team indeed! Mewtwo knew he had to wait it out. If he did fall…the universe would really be in danger. He would rather die than be someone's slave and betray those who believed in him. As the pain hit once again, Mewtwo was quite prepared to die.

Giovanni smiled to himself as he read over the DNA test. Dr. Zeger was showing him the details, and it was confirmed that Ash was his biological son. Madame Boss was beside them, holding a black pokeball in her hand. She kept her poker face, but Giovanni knew that she was ecstatic. After all, she found out that she had a grandson. That was not all. The pokeball that she held contained Mew. Giovanni knew that Mew would not obey anyone. This was simply a transport device. He had ordered the Rockets to install one of the Legendary cages in his mother's mansion. The Mew would be brought there, and live out its days as a jewel in his mother's collection. After all, Mewtwo would soon be his, and he wouldn't need Mew.

Dr. Zeger spoke up, "There is something peculiar, though. Do you see this strip of DNA here?" The older scientist pointed to a purple strand. Giovanni nodded, wondering where this was going to go.

He continued, "Well…it's not human DNA. I was perplexed by this, and compared it to other DNA. You'll never believe this, Sir." Giovanni cocked an eyebrow, signaling Zeger to go on.

He whispered, "It matches both Mewtwo and Mew's genetic makeup. He's definitely your son, but I cannot explain this oddity." While Zeger couldn't figure it out, Giovanni had a guess. He had seen what Ash could do. He was willing to wager that Mewtwo and Mew somehow gave him some of their powers. But how? And most importantly; why? He had seen Ash use shadow balls and transform. Those were both characteristics of the Legendary Pokemon. He bet it had something to do with that odd title; The Legend Master.

Madame Boss purred, "Well, I want to meet this child." Giovanni rolled his eyes. His mother always acted as if she was still the leader. He knew that his mother was impressed of his work, even though she didn't act it. He had done the one thing that she could never do, and it only boosted Giovanni's pride.

He said, "Tomorrow. He is currently learning a lesson. And make sure you bring that pokeball with you. I want to see the look on his face." He looked towards the broadcaster near his desk. He knew that if he wanted to, he could check on Mewtwo. Giovanni was notorious for coming up with great ideas, and he was just hit with one. He continued, "And I also have another test for Ash." He would finally know what a Legend Master was.

Giovanni has a plan... of course he always has a plan. Did you guys hear about Best Wishes Series 2? I'm so excited! I will tell the stuff I've heard in the Ash conversation, so if you don't want any information, don't read.

Larxa: Okay Ash, I'm so excited!

Ash: Me too, Cynthia and Dawn come back!

Larxa: Cynthia has a new outfit... and you guys go to the World competition with her! Plus, what Legendary Pokemon is traveling with you Ash?

Ash: Oh, it's Meloetta! She gets a crush on me, and decides to travel with us. Plus, old Pokemon come back as well, and I face a new Gym leader!

Larxa: Yeah, and I've heard that Giovanni returns to Unova to get Meloetta! There better be a show down!

Ash: There better be! I've only been waiting for 15 years!

Larxa: Well, I'm excited, and I have to go! Thank you all for reading and reviewing!

Ash: Thanks! Bye guys!
