Champion in Remnant

Battle Through Vale; Old Enemies Appear

Cynthia flew over the city as she desperately searched for her students, or better yet, her friends. She didn't know where they were but she did see a path of destruction, with cars and buildings wrecked or blown up. This was a promising, but worrying trail. As she followed the trail of destruction and wreckage she arrived near the highway, but Garchomp suddenly stopped mid flight startling the Sinnoh Champion.

"What's wrong girl?"

"Garrrr!" The Mach Pokémon growled as her eyes narrowed her pupils sharpened in a feral way.

This behavior worried Cynthia as she tried to find what was making Garchomp act this way. As her eyes scouted the ground below them, Cynthia heard an ear-splitting scream just west of here and below the highway.

"That way!"

"Gar!" Garchomp growled in affirmation as they swooped down to where the scream came from. The two arrived where the screams where loudest and gasped in horror at who was screaming.

It was Ruby. 

She was held by the neck in the hands of Mewtwo, who was attacking her mind with its signature attack, Psystrike. Yang was trapped by the blade of a ice cream themed girl, Weiss and Blake were pinned to the ground by a Krookodile, and she saw that their Pokémon along with Sun and Neptune were captured and restrained in capsules.

She watched as Zorua bravely attacked Mewtwo to free his trainer. Angered, the Genetic Pokémon attacked the Tricky Fox Pokémon with Aura Sphere, dealing super effective damage to the small dark type. She heard him yelp loudly and saw the young Pokémon's body skip across the road and beside Ruby's fallen form.

This had gone long enough.

"Garchomp, use Flamethrower on Mewtwo!" Cynthia shouted angrily.

"Gar!" Garchomp reared her head back and she fired a large stream of fire at Mewtwo, taking a completely by surprise as they fell to their back by the immense heat and pressure. Giovanni looked up in mild surprise to see Cynthia racing towards them, but smiled sinisterly as they landed.

"Well, Champion Cynthia of Sinnoh." Giovanni sneered. "What a pleasant surprise."

"Cut the Tauros crap, Giovanni!!" Cynthia barked. "Release them right now, or I'll-"

"Or you'll what?" He challenged, matching the Champion's stare with his own. "You can't possibly hope to challenge me to a battle, especially against one of the most powerful Pokémon ever created!"

Mewtwo recovered and stood in front of his trainer, his permanent scowl fixed on Cynthia and Garchomp. Garchomp growled ferally at Mewtwo, dragging her foot across the pavement in anticipation.  

"I'll take that challenge."

"Very well, I'll make you a deal; if you manage to defeat us I will release your friends and Pokémon. If you lose," His smile dropped as he began to speak more seriously. "We will take them along with all of your Pokemon and use them for our secret project where they will experience painful and dubious experimentation."

The shocked cries of everyone around her, save for the bad guys, made Cynthia clench her hands. These were the kind of stakes where the chances of winning were against her. But what choice did she have? She could not take the deal, but the end results could be worse. The sacrifices she made would have been for nothing. She won't let this monster get the better of her.

"Deal."

"No Cynthia!!" Yang shouted. "Don't take this bastards word for granted! He's lying!" Neo held the weapon closer to Yang's neck, making the blonde actually snarl.
