What would you do if you were granted the power to turn back time every time you died? Louis Drakeheart once had everything. Born as the grandson of the Dragon King and the son of Earth’s most brilliant scientist and strongest Esper and a Holy Dragon Goddess, his future seemed boundless. Yet at the age of ten, he failed to awaken his Dragon Bloodline and could not transform into a dragon. Branded a cripple and a failure by his own Dragon Family, he was abandoned, his dreams shattered. Growing increasingly bitter and resentful, especially after his mother fell gravely ill and slipped into an eternal slumber that no one could cure, Louis transformed into a ruthless, cynical, and deeply unstable noble. Throughout the Frostbane Kingdom, he became infamous as the “Mad Prince.” In a final, desperate bid for power, he plunged into the Dimensional Labyrinth, only to be ambushed by an enemy nation.

Now, through sheer will and unrelenting struggle, Louis will fight with everything he has to seize the strength needed to change his fate, reclaim his draconic birthright, and save his kingdom from its inevitable downfall at the hands of both Enemy Nations and Horrors beyond the Dimensional Boundary—even if it costs him his sanity as he descends deeper into the Spiral of Madness.

There are some things that everyone knows. Team Rocket is evil beyond belief, and their boss Giovanni is even worse. The man have ordered his team to make use of the fragment of Mew's DNA they have found in the dense jungle. With that Team Rocket get into possesion of a living weapon. Most powerful Pokemon in the entire world. Mewtwo. What no one knows is the fact that Mewtwo wasn't mindless. It learns. Grows. Adapts. And finally realizes there's some ability its creator won't let it have. Form changning. Thanks to that Mewtwo finally breaks out of the laboratory and manages to escape. Which would be a great news but something must have gone wrong. Giovanni spot its while changing forms. And most importantly the man's corpse weren't found. It means there's only one way Metwo could ensure its own safety - by getting rid off Giovanni once for all. So here comes the main problem. How to do that? It's hard (to say the least) to even track a man who ruled the most powerful organisation in the underworld. Not to mention he most likely has a contacts all around the 'upper' world. And that's why Mewtwo came up with ridiculous plan. To gather every legendary from five regions most close to Kanto and unite them against Giovanni. Is it stupid? Yeah, surely. But the alternative is returning to Team Rocket and letting Giovanni rule the whole world. Mewtwo can't allow this to happen! After all it wouldn't like to share. AN: Hi! Due to some life circumstances I quit writing for about 7 years. Used to like it a lot and tries to return. This fan-fiction is a 'returnee' to it, so do not have high expectations. Writing could be bad as hell (or the Distortion Worlds for geeks). updates would appear as I update (tldr randomly) and at some point I may just cancel this. Despite that (even if only for now) - have fun! Some chapters may contain TW, mostly brief desripction of violence (let's be honest the main character isn't the most paceful one). I'll make sure to point it at the beggining of every chapters where it appears. Also try to not write much of them - after all this novel is for general audience. EDIT: Considering many TW chapters I decide to change it to parental guidance suggested. Yet those tw mostly appear in prologue (chapters 1-6) and can be skipped. Average word per chapter: 1.2k
