Doom is not pleased with the weird purge that devours his adventures. Doom believes this means he must make the Pokemon suffer quicker in order to repay this so called 'purge monster' for its defiance of his fate! Onward, into the future! The future that is Doom!
"Yes Victor, Richards is in fact my name. Honestly I would question your intelligence every time you insist on screaming my name if it wasn't for the fact that the last time I did so three million children died."
"It is always the children who suffer, after all," Doom said nonchalantly.
"I am pretty sure you are the one that came up with that saying right after you finished killing them all," Richards responded.
Doom shrugged, not seeing a point in denying the accusation.
"You stand in the path of Doom, Reed Richards. Unlike the last time your trickery will do you no good at this juncture in the road. For old time's sake I shall give you once chance, but only one: Stand aside for your better or suffer." Doom crossed his fingers, both signifying that he did not mean a word he said and in whatever counted for hope in Doom's mental makeup that Richards would refuse the offer and he would get to best him in trial by Pokemon combat.
"Haha, you are as arrogant as ever I see. I suppose Zapdos is going to have to teach you another lesson. Offer rejected."
If Doom was capable of feeling happiness, this would be a moment of great joy for him. As it stood, Doom only smirked and cackled evilly, as opposed to the well known nice cackling, inside his mind.
Doom likes crushing his greatest rival.
"Do you believe that the same trick would work on one such as Doom, Richards? A foolish thought."
Richards smiled at Doom's proclamation.
Doom does not like smiles.
"Of course not," began Richards. :That is why I brought a new friend with me today. Go, Articuno!"
Richards threw a Pokeball and a massive blue bird appeared in front of Doom.
Doom stared up at the large bird and matched its gaze, refusing to back down to the gigantic bird.
Doom will not suffer defeat!

Doctor Doom whipped out his Pokedex and scanned the Pokemon, apparently named Articuno, in front of him.
“Articuno, the legendary ice Pokemon. It must like to have its food frozen before it eats it because it is sad that it Is capable of creating a blizzard at a moment’s notice. Be wary, this one can probably kick your ass too.”
Doom was not pleased with his Pokedex’s opinion.
“You have a knack for capturing Pokemon above your station Richards. No matter, this time I am prepared. Go, Thor!” Doom tossed his Pokeball and Thor the Pikachu raced out of it and growled beside his master.
Richards snorted. “You would fight a legendary with something that has not even evolved to meet its maximum potential yet, Victor? I see your time in the Pokemon World has not done you any service. Your plots end here! Articuno! Ice Beam!”
“Dodge.” At Doom’s command Thor flashed out of the way of the ice beam which left the grass where Thor had been standing frozen solid.
Articuno’s repeated use of Ice Beam came with the same result of Thor dodging them.
Doom smirked at his rival.
“Can you feel it, Richards? The heavens themselves cry at how pathetic your legendary is!” As he spoke Doom coaxed the clouds above into action, and after a moment a light drizzle started to pour down, which was quickly intensifying.
Richards’ eyes narrowed at the sudden rainstorm. He had not seen Victor use any of his magic, but he was sure that he had.
Before Richards could chastise his rival, lightning struck.
Well, technically speaking it would be thunder struck.
“Thor! Bring down the hammer. Thunder!”
Thor charged up for only a moment before a crack of thunder could be heard overhead as a massive lightning bolt zipped down from the heavens and struck Articuno. The bird screeched in agony as Thor did not relent on the attack for several seconds. Finally, most of his energy spent, Thor stopped his attack and panted slightly.
Doom was pleased with the sight before him.
Articuno had scorch marks all over its body as it weakly hovered a few feet above the ground. Every time the bird tried to suck in air there was a terrible wheezing sound from its chest.
“It appears your new friend is… on ice,” Doom said maliciously.
Richards smiled at the comment.
Doom frowned, because smiles were to be frowned upon.
“Show Victor Von Doom that legends last forever, Articuno! Blizzard!
A moment before where there had been a downpour, there was now a maelstrom of snow and ice in its place and the scorch marks on Articuno were vanishing under the intensity of the storm.
Doom tilted his head upward slightly as a sign of respect towards the Articuno.
Doom likes a challenge!

Oh good, everything I missed due to the purge is here.

Doctor Doom looked down at Thor with an unreadable expression on his face. That wasn’t very surprising, it was hard to read a face that was covered in a thick metal mask meant to give off feelings of Doom inside all of those who would dare to gaze upon its majesty. That’s how Doom told it, anyway.
“Do you understand the reality of this situation, Thor?”
Thor the Pikachu looked up at its master and then back at the swirling vortex of snow and ice surrounding Articuno. Thor nodded its head once as a clear answer to the question.
Doom had to suppress a smile. It was convenient having minions who would maim themselves at a word.
“Doom named you well, little one. Very well. Show this legend of ice what it means to be the god of thunder.”
Richards crossed his arms in impatience. “Are you done talking to yourself yet Victor? Your rat is no match for my majestic legendary! Articuno, Blizzard!”
The snowstorm started to expand. It would only take a dozen seconds before it covered to where Doom was standing.
“Majesty is for the victors, Richards. One must survive first before it can lay claim to anything other than life. Cling to life, legend of ice.” Doom paused only for a moment. When he spoke again, his voice mirrored the madness that was always in his mind. THAT SHOULD BE YOUR ONLY CONCERN WHEN YOUR OPPONENT IS DOOM. CLING. TO. LIFE. THOR, VOLT TACKLE!
Thor cloaked itself in lightning and immediately dashed into the oncoming storm. Not even a second later a huge explosion came from the epicenter of the blizzard and forced Doom to cover his eyes to try to avoid the intensity of the light.
Doom is momentarily blinded!

Doctor Doom took his arm away from his face and narrowed his eyes to see through the now fading light.
The snowstorm that Articuno had been generating was now gone and the air was still. There was no movement in the space between Richards and Doom as the light faded and both Pokemon were on the ground.
Articuno, the mighty ice bird of legend, seemed to take exception with being grounded. It began to stir and after a moment it flapped its mighty wings once. Twice. After a few flaps it hovered a several feet off the ground with great effort and cried out in agony. It had several gashes in its skin and was bleeding profusely onto the ground below.
Doom sneered. The Pokemon would get itself killed if it insisted on trying to battle in that condition. Not that Doom minded, if the creature wished to get itself killed he could always mount its head on his wall right next to Reed Richards’s.
Doom looked for Thor and found him on the ground. The electric Pokemon was knocked out cold and twitched every so often as electrical discharges made their way out of its body. It had given everything for Doom.
Not enough for Doom.
Doom was annoyed that Thor couldn’t quite finish the job but supposed he wouldn't have to kill Thor for his failure. With so little training Thor had managed to bring a legend to its knees. It had brought doom upon Articuno, and teaching doom to fellow Pokemon was all his Pokemon were good for after all.
Richards wore a stunned expression on his face. He couldn’t believe that the powerful Pokemon he had “befriended” had lost to such a runt. It had taken him hours to navigate that godforsaken cave and calibrate the mind control nanomachines to its brain waves in order to get it to obey him perfectly. No matter, he could play Victor’s game if that is how Victor wanted it.
“Good job, Victor. You have managed to defeat Articuno. However, this battle is not over yet. You have only defeated the tip of the iceberg!”
"I am going to torture for an extra five minutes before I dispose of you just for that pun alone, Richards."
“I don’t know what you are talking about, Victor,” Richards replied as he recalled Articuno to its Pokeball.
Doom did the same with Thor.
The two rivals glanced down at each of their own belts at the same time. Doom still had four Pokeballs on his belt. Richards had one. Doom picked a Pokeball from his belt at the same time that Richards picked his last.
“Go, Zapdos!”
“Go, Logan!”
Zapdos shot out of its Pokeball with a cry while Logan calmly hovered next to his master glaring at the yellow Pokemon he was to do battle with.
“Logan,” Doom said.
The Beedrill turned its head to look at its master. It was awaiting orders.
“Kill.”

Really. At least Doom tries to play by the univere's rules. Way to disrespect the Pokeworld Richards.

Doctor Doom’s command rung in Logan’s mind for only a moment before it launched itself at Zapdos with reckless abandon. Logan brandished its arms which were now turned into nearly indestructible swords and slashed at the Zapdos.
Zapdos swiftly dodged and allowed the Beedrill to go past it without an attack of its own.
Logan turned back around to make another pass. If it built up enough speed there was no way that Zapdos could cleanly dodge like it had just done.
Zapdos has no intention of dodging, however. With a mighty cry the legendary of lightning unleashed a bolt of electricity upon Logan.
Doom arched an eyebrow at the impressive display. These so called legends had a lot of power within them. So much so that even a fool like Richards was able to get results with them. Doom liked power, and so Doom decided that Doom liked these birds. Perhaps when he was done flaying Richards’ body he would use the Pokemon that his rival had for his side project of ruling this world.
Logan crossed his blades, forming an X shape with them, over his body and tried to stop the progress of the bolt of lightning. A moment later the force of the impact knocked Logan back several meters but he kept the energy from overwhelming him. The bug Pokemon let out a loud hissing noise and started to push the bolt back away from its body. With one final primal scream Logan redirected the blast back to Zapdos at twice the speed it had been sent.
Zapdos didn’t even have time to move before the electricity slammed into it.
Doom continued to stare imperiously at the Zapdos that had just been hit by its own Thunderbolt. The electricity around it seemed to intensify and it looked…stronger than before.
Doom likes Zapdos even more now.
“You cannot harm the bird of thunder with its own electricity, trying to do so only makes its power grow! Now prepare to face the true ferocity of this legend! Zapdos, Rain Dance!”
Doom stood silently as a heavy rain began to fall. Doom lifted his eyes skyward and narrowed them. He had seen this trick before; he had used it, after all. Doom’s gaze went back to the Zapdos which was now glowing in the heavy rain it had created.
“Logan, this is not like the battle against the rock Pokemon. You have no room for error here. You do not outclass this Pokemon. Victory shall be mine, but you must be utterly perfect. An extension of my perfect will.” Doom’s eyes never left the Zapdos as he spoke to his Pokemon.
The sky darkened overhead and before Logan could twitch a monstrous pillar of light torpedoed itself right into him. The light completely enveloped the Beedrill for a brief moment before it faded quickly. When the light receded there was nothing there but a scorch mark from where the move had hit.
“Next,” Richards said.
Doom’s eyes went wide in rage at Richards’ single word response to Logan’s utter destruction.
Doom will not suffer such disrespect!
