Description

Cerulean City.... A dark day it was.... 10 years after Ash's journeys, Ash watches a tombstone of one he misses the most.... He remembers back to the day it all happened..... Where everything was nearly destroyed..... Mewtwo had taken roost in Cerulean Cave unnoticed, and Mew was floating around Cerulean City almost daily.... As if they were anticipating something was approaching..... Deep within the dark pits of the underworld, both Darkaros, Giratina, and thousands of Dardraga team up to face a powerful foe beyond all imagination..... That foe, easily throwing them aside with both it's sheer strength and it's powerful telepathic abilities, was the legendary Zerosus, #777 in national dex order. Darkaros made the wrong move deciding to claim this soul into his own domain, and got swiftly beaten along with Giratina... Zerosus, free of it's two restraints thanks to it's newly gained Normal type, erupts from deep within the earth to to the surface, ironically in the ruins of Mewtwo's old castle... Suddenly the other Legendaries are warned.... A massive threat unleashed.... Unbounded from it's chains.... Yet at the same time so frail..... So weak.... It's own heartbeat is it's countdown to destruction..... And with it, the end of the world along with it.... Or so they say.... And indeed was it the end of the world that day.... How everyone survived almost completely unscathed was a mystery.... All except for one.... One who had perished in this battle..... One Ash held most dearest to him..... Yet at the same time never knew about this dear one.... How this being really felt..... Misty, Ash's wife, and Pikachu, now a Raichu, walk over to Ash to comfort him.... This gravestone is the tomb of Zerosus.... But how did this mighty Pokemon meet it's end?

It all began many, many years ago when Mewtwo was first cloned. Mewtwo had a sibling they dubbed "Mewthree". Mewtwo and Mewthree were best friends in addition to the cloned starters and Amber, but when the latter four died both felt sadness, but Zerosus seemed to know what the real intention was behind their lives and unleashed it's Chosen One mode. At a young age, however, it was swiftly killed off because of this rampage. The body is buried, and Mewtwo is injected with a substance to make them forget all about Zerosus and the other clones, and years would go by.

Darkaros, claiming this dangerous soul as his own victim, at first sees potential in this rare Pokemon, but stated that if were to seek revenge it must change it's Psychic type to a different type. Years would go by as Mewthree's "training" went underway, more like torture in a way due to Darkaros's nature. Mewthree, after slaying thousands of Dardraga over many years, grows into a giant of a clone due to a genetic glitch that caused it to grow in size, with it's death at an early age leading to it's right arm and leg being smaller than the left arm and leg. Mewthree was no longer called Mewthree, as Darkaros had dubbed him Zerosus to hide his relation to Mewtwo and Mew from other Legendary Pokemon.

Years later, Ash's 16th Birthday comes along and after traveling through the Krizure region, wants to head home to pallet town to celebrate it. Misty is most happy to hear he's returning to Kanto for a while, but feels sad thinking he'll leave on another journey. Next thing she knows she sees a Mew floating by Cerulean Gym, to her very surprise as to why it would show up here. Meanwhile, not far off from Cerulean City Mewtwo had made permanent residence in Cerulean Cave, at least for now of all times. Both Mew and Mewtwo know something is about to happen. Mew can sense Zerosus's rage building and building, and lured Mewtwo to Cerulean City in-order to protect the city knowing Zerosus will be heading here where it all began...

Zerosus, having grown tired of living in this dark place and having lost it's intelligence for a violent nature, begins to demolish Darkaros and Giratina where they stand. Giratina is nearly killed, but Darkaros keeps them both alive as Zerosus escapes the underworld and comes bursting out in a large ocean, Kyogre being the next Legendary Pokemon it meets next. Kyogre summons a rain storm and uses Hyper Beam on Zerosus, but is now Ghost Type and does nothing to Zerosus, who replies by using Thunder repeatedly on Kyogre. Manaphy and Phione arrive to try and help, but they are easily tossed aside like they were nothing. Latios and Latias come flying at Zerosus and charge into it, but their attacks do nothing and Zerosus defeats them with Shadow Force, having gained the move from it's battle against Giratina by use of Sketch.

Zerosus proves to be quite a reality bender when facing Palkia next, who was forcefully summoned by Darkaros as an attempt to destroy Zerosus. Palkia proves to be quite formidible, but is sent backing when Zerosus temporarily creates a miniature black hole when copying Palkia's Spacial Rend, hitting Palkia hard and sending it flying. Zerosus, free of facing Legendaries at this point, heads to the ruins of Mewtwo's castle, sensing a familiar scent it may have long forgotten. Zerosus suddenly clenches it's chest with it's right arm, feeling in pain for some odd reason; Meloetta and Celebi had used Perish Song on Zerosus, meaning Zerosus will die at some point, with Meloetta and Celebi protecting themselves from the song's effects. As pains for it to have done that, Meloetta and Celebi quickly flee but are knocked out of the sky by a Shadow Ball. Zerosus, now having a timer set on it's own life, has to fight for it's own survival as it makes it's way to it's origin, only seeking comfort now after everything having tried to destroy it. Zerosus begins to make it's way across the seas on it's way to Cerulean City.....

To be continued....

Plot Summary/Important Details:

Basically Zerosus's anime movie would serve as a sort of series finale in a way, hence taking full advantage of the fact A/C isn't a plan I look forward to at all and the fact Mewthree stories tend to be darker. Also, apparently the first movie was supposedly meant to be the series finale, also staring Mewtwo, but weither or not Ash and Misty got together in the original idea or not is what I don't know, but they get together in this story involving Zerosus for a damn good reason: To bring the ultimate showdown of legends where it all began: Cerulean City, with Cerulean Cave featured as Mewtwo's new permanent residence. The story isn't necessarily dark, just mainly features Zerosus's imminent death after it's tortured existence. Even though at first Zerosus seems to be the main antagonist along with Team Rocket, the REAL main antagonist is Darkaros. Terrible things go on during this event of Zerosus's berserk of a rampage, but surprisingly doesn't go into Chosen One mode until the very end of the story when all the Legendaries are gathered into one spot at the climatic showdown at the end.

Zerosus's backstory is meant to show physical suffering throughout it's life, forcing to fight for survival, having it's right arm and leg not grow evenly with it's left arm and leg, being too unstable to use telepathic powers easily, can't even speak from having lost it's sanity, has to move around physical instead of float, and the worse part is that it's suffering from a slow and agonizing heart attack the entire story made worse by Celebi and Meloetta having used Perish Song on it, which instead of merely knocking it out, would end it's life instead due to it's heart attack. The mist that Zerosus's mouth constantly emits is actually as if it were coughing up blood constantly. It's Shiny Color is another genetic, mental, or physical issue: It is Albino when Shiny. Albinism leaves an animal more vulnerable to skin cancer from what I'm aware of, and most of the animals known to be albino live during the day.

Zerosus, like Mewtwo, has armor built for it, but Zerosus's instability makes weakening and controlling it futile, leaving an actual Master Ball the only option available. Giovanni captures Zerosus after it had collapsed and takes it away to his headquarters only for him to be killed by Zerosus, but Jessie, James, and Meowth are spared from Zerosus's rampage at the Team Rocket headquarters due to not being there and actually having helped out Zerosus find it's way to Cerulean City unintentionally, though they just so happened to be there by chance when following Ash around for his Pikachu yet again.

Meowth knew of Mew's presence in the area, and had met with Celebi and Meloetta as well, who told Mewtwo his friends were in great danger and told them to not head to Team Rocket headquarters. Meowth at this point, due to it being 6 years after the events of the Unova Region Journey Ash, was growing tired of Team Rocket at this point, specifically Giovanni, but felt Jessie and James had the same basic opinions as well. James was just deciding to be near Ash and his friends due to them being separated from Giovanni's plans, and Jessie was also with him having changed somewhat mostly after getting into a big fight with Jessibella, so then Jessie stormed off knowing nothing would still change as she felt James was hers as he wanted to be as well. Then Palkia arrives just so conveniently for her, getting into a fight with Dialga again. Instead of running away screaming, she yells at both of them at Palkia's spacial rend cuts her hair much like how Seviper bite her hair off once.

Two deities suddenly beat into a pulp by Jessie, Dialga merely chose to flee as Palkia was the attention hog in this. Using a Master Ball she was given by a mysterious person, she catches Palkia and goes right to confront Jessibella again, and unleashes Palkia on her in her own form of overkill revenge. Palkia is pleased to be beat up Jessibella, thinking she's Jessie instead while Jessie sneaks away with James in the confusion. Palkia turned out to be disobedient even with having been caught fairly by a Master Ball, and breaks free of control, but, to Jessie's request, Meowth asks if Palkia can alter the memories of James's parents and Jessibella in Jessie's favor; By making Jessibella hate James and having Jame's parents want James to marry Jessie instead. Palkia, still having a bit of rage, does this willingly seeing this was all Jessie wanted for a while now. James feeling so happy to not have to deal with Jessibella ever again, doesn't know how to thank Jessie as to how grateful he is. Jessie replies saying she doesn't need any thanks, proving she really has changed somewhat from her selfish behavior years ago.

Palkia is released soon after this, and James and Jessie, having grown a hatred for Giovanni at this point, decide to see what Ash and them are up to, not having referred to them as twerps in a long time. Ash was celebrating his 16th Birthday in three days, and on this same day, Zerosus breaks from it's prison of the underworld and goes on a rampage on the other side of the globe, also having only three days to live now due to both a heart attack and perish song.

Misty feels shy seeing Ash again after so long, wondering if he still even remembers their time together, Misty 17 at this point (Apparently she's a year older than Ash from what I know). Her hairstyle also changed to her HG/SS hairstyle. She hears from Meowth running to Cerulean City with Jessie and James, Meowth remembering it was only three days away from something bad that would happen. Meowth has an odd hunch something bad is already happening as they speak, as Zerosus had began it's first part of it's rampage. Darkaros, saying that if Zerosus vows to live so much, he will take another victim instead: And he chooses Misty, unaware he may get Zerosus's soul back due to Zerosus only having three days to live at this point. Thus the bigger parts of the story start to unfold...

So much writing and the image is challenging to figure out what is what in there, and while I can identify most of the faces, I have no idea who the belong to at all in some cases. And while Zerosus stands out a bit more because of his grey, it still isn't so obvious. Bit of a hard image to view visually, sadly.
