Hello there! It's Flubbertastic hitting the scene with my first FanFiction. Well, the first one on the internet. I had tried to make one long ago but didn't know much about the series I was basing it off of. I had been playing around with this idea in my head and I decided to commit it to paper (Yes, I did draft it out on paper first and then typed it. It helps my writing process). With introductions over (Or just saying my pen name), I have something to say first: Don't expect a concrete update schedule. This story is pretty much just for fun (It will still have as much quality as possible, though) and will probably not get updated consistently. I will try to update as much as I can, though. Just a heads up.
Second order of business: Review. Just like many other authors on this site I will need criticism starting out and a lot of it. It helps me advance as an "author" and helps me understand if you like where it's heading or nah. I will accept OCs (Original Characters for those who don't know) from time to time, but not willy nilly. I also love getting reviews in anything: It lets me know my stuff was interesting enough to notice.
Well, Imma stop rambling and let you get to the story. Read and enjoy!
"Regular Speech"
'Thoughts or Telepathic Communication'
"Pokemon Speech"
I woke up surrounded by a strange liquid. It feels a little bit thicker than water and seems a bit yellowish. It looks like the liquid you would see floating human test subjects being colored and thick, I wasn't able to see through the liquid effectively. In fact, I could barely see at all. All I could see is shapes, and even those were vague. They didn't give me any insight about my predicament. So, due to these conditions, I decided to make in the glass tubes in in the movies. I also felt an oxygen mask over my mouth. Due to my vision being restricted, I used of my other senses, one in particular, to scope out my surroundings.
The first thing I noticed was, when I opened my mental "eyes", everything was clear and sharp, which was the complete opposite of my murky eyesight. It surprised me at first, as my mental vision prior to this event and only extended up to 15 feet on a good day and was in black and white. Now, everything is in color and I could easily tell that I could look at something at my normal range of sight and can recognize what that object is. I so have to tell my father about this, I thought.
As I look down, I thank the Lord above that whoever took me had the decency to leave me with my clothes on. It even seems like they coated them with something that keeps them dry even when submerged in water or, in my case, miscellaneous liquid. I should take a sample, I thought, as it might be useful to know what it is. I still had black cargo pants for the storage space, a navy blue t-shirt as it is my favorite color, black and blue tennis shoes, and the dragon pendant that amplifies my power. Someone would have to die if they took of my clothes.
I decided to look around in the hopes that I could map out an escape route or just find the exit. As I looked around, I see scientists in their signature white lab coats on, though they had a symbol stitched on the suits that I didn't recognize. As I look more closely, they looked like they were talking to or even congratulating one another. Some were clapping fellow researchers on the back. Though, something startled me. When I looked at some of their clipboards, I saw Mewtwo written and, right under it, my name.
Why am I here, I began questioning myself. Why am I in this tank with these men outside celebrating something? Then, as if it sensed my inner turmoil, I heard something say in my mind, 'They are experimenting on us.'
"Huh?", I asked in my head. "Who is that?"
'Turn around', the voice said.
So I did. And when I turned around, I saw a creature in the same predicament I find myself in. It looked like the legendary Pokémon Mew, only much larger and intimidating.
"Are you Mewtwo?" I asked apprehensively.
'Yes, I am. Do you have a title?' Mewtwo asked.
"Yes... My name is Charles."
'Are you familiar with the Pokémon Mew?', he asked.
"Yes, I do know of Mew."
To most scientists and Pokémon professors, Mew is considered the ancestor of all Pokémon. It is said that he can use every move in the Pokémon database.
"What if I told you that this experiment has something to do with Mew?" said Mew.
"What?" I asked. "Why would we be here, then?"
'I am… what you would call a… failed clone.'
I stared at him in shock. "Wha... What? How is that even possible?" I finally exclaimed.
'I believe they somehow either obtained a sample of Mew's DNA or they synthesized their own', Mewtwo replied.
"Where do I come in, then? Why am I here with you?"
'After they carried you in, I saw them inject a strange fluid into you with a syringe. I believe that syringe had some of Mew's DNA within it.'
"What?! Impossible!" I exclaimed. Then, I realized with a start that the theory is very plausible. My mind's eye improved dramatically without any training and I can somehow sense thoughts, while before I was only able to sense vague intentions.
"What do they plan on gaining from this?" I asked.
'I think that they want slaves. Powerful slaves.' Mewtwo replied.
"We gotta get out of here! My father is probably very worried and very pissed."
'I have a plan. We must release a massive burst of energy in order to release ourselves from this prison.'
"But… I'm not that powerful yet. I can barely use Aura Sphere."
'Look inside yourself, where your power lies, and you will see why I believe you can do this.'
I decided it was best that I do as he asked. As I looked into my mind, instead of a little cloud of blue energy as it usually was, I see a giant whirlwind of energy billowing within my mind. I had to actually back away to avoid getting sucked in. Needless to say, I had a surprised look on my face as I came back to reality.
'You've been trained on how to use your power, right?' Mewtwo said.
"Yes, yes I have", I said, wondering how he even got a hint of my training.
'Now, I want you to do that, but let all your power out and let it explode after it's built up enough.'
"Are you sure I will be able to withstand the blast?"
'Trust me. You are more than capable to fulfill this task. I will tell you when to release the energy. No sooner than that.'
"Alright", I replied.
I decided to let my barriers down slowly at first to get used to this power that I saw within my mind. Even as I started to do it, I could feel so much power flowing through me and I knew, somewhere inside me, that I could control this power, as if with that injection came another voice, a stronger voice.
I then let down my barriers all the way and let my power flow throughout me and, I must say, it was a thrill. It felt as if I was being injected with liquid energy. I had to resist the urge to laugh. Then it started to bottle up, and I knew that I was gonna burst soon.
I then sensed someone else releasing small bits of energy, so I turned around and saw Mewtwo building up his own energy. He seemed to have a pinkish aura around him.
Suddenly, he said, 'Ready?'
"Yes", I replied, "I'm ready to release."
'Alright, 3… 2… 1… Now!'
Just as she said that, I released all my energy into a huge shockwave that engulfed the entire laboratory, perhaps the whole building. I then noticed that Mewtwo was combining her own blast with mine, though mine seemed to be more prominent. When the explosion rippled throughout the facility, it also destroyed the tanks we were suspended in.
When my tank got destroyed, due to the lack of gravity I was feeling whilst trapped within, I crumpled to my knees as I landed on the ground. Mewtwo, however, had no trouble as he just simply started to float above the ground. "Well, that's just not fair.", I said aloud.
'Who said anything about fair?', said Mewtwo as he started smirking.
"Touché.", I replied, feeling a bit silly.
Suddenly, I heard a piece of the roof creak and start to fall right above us. The ceiling was pretty high, but it wouldn't take long to reach us. I screamed "No!" and, as it plummeted towards us, I closed my eyes and held my hands up as if they could save me as I waited to be crushed.
But my potentially gruesome death did not come. As I opened my eyes, I realized that I did not see the clouds of heaven or the fiery pits of hell, but the wreckage of the laboratory I effectively blew up. When I looked up, the slab of roof was levitating in the air with a blue aura surrounding. I wasn't able to even produce an aura sphere, I thought, and now I'm holding things and creating explosions!
Off to my right, I heard Mewtwo say, 'Now do you believe me?'
I am too stunned at my actions to even reply. I was still wondering what that DNA had done to me. "I… I did that… I lifted it… like a psychic…" I said in disbelief.
I then heard voices, probably the ones of the scientists that aren't either unconscious or dead. I wasn't sure whether to be happy that they are alive or sad that the group they have still exists.
'Charles, I need you to teleport us out of here', Mewtwo said.
I looked at her with a surprised look. "What?!" I said. "How am I supposed to do that? I haven't the slightest idea as to how to go about doing that!"
'Imagine yourself where you wish to teleport and call upon your power to guide you there. I'd suggest you teleport in front of your home.'
"Alright", I said, as I did what he asked. I decided to imagine myself and Mewtwo on the pathway on my front lawn. I released some energy, and I felt a tingly feeling. When I looked down, I saw that I was glowing blue. I knew what to do immediately as I felt the energy flow. "You ready?" I asked.
'Yes I am', he replied.
I then started to teleport us to our destination.
"I'm gonna call you something different", Mewtwo said.
"What'll you call me?", I replied.
'How about… Mewthree?' He said with a smirk as we teleported away.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"Ah… It's good to be home", I said with relief while stretching my limbs, as I had been floating in liquid for God knows how long.
It was a beautiful day in Pallet Town. The Pidgey were chirping, there were wild Pokémon tromping around, and the air was just the right temperature for an outdoor excursion. There weren't many people moved in, mostly because it was a small town, but everyone knew one another.
'Yes. It is always good to find a place of rest', Mewtwo replied.
"Ready to meet my dad?", I asked.
Mewtwo paused for a bit before answering. 'Yes, I'm prepared.'
"Alright", I said as I moved my hand to the doorbell.
The bell made a loud ring as I press the small button. As to how they work, I had no idea and will probably never find out. Soon after, a voice said "I'll be there in a minute!" Then, the door opens, and behind it stands my father, Lamar.
I should probably give you some background for my father before continuing any further. First of all, He is a Lucario, but more specifically, Lucario that speaks English and is an expert at using the Aura. I've never seen anyone as strong as my father.
Unfortunately, my father is my only parent… well, live parent. My mother was a human. She had died whilst giving birth to me. Dad was stricken with grief for a while afterwards, but eventually got out of his rut. He's the reason I am who I am today.
"Hey, Charles! How are you? How come you didn't come….", he said as he stops abruptly when he saw my face. I must have had a tired look on my face, as he soon had a concerned one on his. "Why do you look so tired?", he asked.
He then looked behind me and spots Mewtwo. Suddenly, an aura sphere appeared in his hand as he raised an eyebrow. "Who is this?" he asked cautiously, "And why is he with you? He seems… unnatural."
"Sorry. Forgot proper introductions. Mewtwo, Lamar. Lamar, Mewtwo", I said. "Can we come inside, please? Not sure we should be outside any longer."
"Umm…. sure. Come in", my father said. As we walk in, I caught my father looking suspiciously at Mewtwo.
When we were all inside, I plopped myself down onto the sofa while Mewtwo decided to not sit and just float beside me. My dad decided to sit in his favorite La Z Boy recliner ha has had for, like, five years it seems. "Alright", my dad said, "Tell me why you look so tired and why", as he looks over to Mewtwo, "you have brought a guest with you."
So, I told him. I relay everything, from my conversation with Mewtwo to my sudden massive increase in Aura power. He looked very surprised when I got to the part where Mewtwo said I might have Mew DNA injected inside of me and when I created that massive burst of energy to destroy my prison. By the end of my story, he sank into his seat as if he was having trouble processing all of this information.
"So,", he said after I'm done, "what you're saying is that Mewtwo over here is a man-made clone of Mew, you have been injected with Mew DNA, and you have had your Aura power increase exponentially?"
"That's exactly what happened. Mewtwo helped me along the way, as well."
Dad scrunched his face up in thought and, suddenly, he shoots out of his chair and walks toward the basement door. "Basement, now", he said. "You too, Mewtwo", he added.
"Why do you want to bring us down there?", I asked as Mewtwo and I walked towards the door. Well, Mewtwo floats toward the door, as he doesn't need to walk, but that's not the point.
"I want to test something with you. I have a theory… and it's about you having Mew DNA within you", he replies as he pulled open the door.
"Alright", I replied as I was walking down the stairs into the basement.
As we walked down, I look around to see if anything has changed because I'm paranoid like that. Though, my paranoia isn't needed, as everything is in its place. The bookshelf was still on the wall opposite of the stairs, the pool table and table tennis table were still in the middle of the room, and we still had the display case with my grandfather's sword.
My dad walked over to the bookshelf and pulled a book out of it. Only, it didn't come out, but instead my dad stopped pulling as a secret passageway opened up to the right of the book case. "Come", my father said as he leads us down the hallway into our training room.
The room looked a lot like those dojos in the movies would look like with wooden walls and wooden pillars scattered evenly to distribute weight. There were many racks of various weapons from swords and shields to spears and bo-staffs. "I want to test your new-found abilities and teach you some new skills, if possible", my father exclaims.
"I want you to make a sword out of Aura", my father commanded.
"How am I supposed to do that?", I replied, raising an eyebrow.
"I will guide you. First, make an Aura Sphere."
I concentrate and, from my palm, came an Aura Sphere. It was admittedly a lot easier today than during previous sessions.
As if reading my mind, my dad said, "That seems like it took a lot less effort this time. It's even bigger than a grape."
I went red in the face. "Shut up, dad…"
My dad chuckled, "Anyway, now picture the Aura Sphere changing into a different form, as if it is a Ditto, though preferably without any eyes." My dad shudders, "I hate those things. They give me the creeps."
After chuckling a bit, I set my mind to the task assigned to me. I pictured, in my mind, the Aura Sphere slowly changing into a one-handed long-sword and it did exactly that. The Aura Sphere started to move like floating molasses until it formed what I had asked. I felt my eyes widen in surprise as this happens.
My dad nodded in approval. "Good job", he said, "Now try to make a bow and shoot an arrow at the target." As he says this, a target swings down from the ceiling as if it read Lamar's mind.
This time, I don't need any instructions. In fact, I could sense that this was going to be an instinct pretty soon. This time, though, I imagined the Aura Sphere in my hand as a composite bow and, in my other hand, created another Aura Sphere and imagined it as an arrow.
The effect was almost instantaneous, this time. As soon as I opened my eyes when I was done, I saw a bow in my left hand and an arrow in my right. I then nocked the arrow onto the bowstring, pulled back the bow, and released the string. The arrow flew through the air and stuck itself in the bull's-eye on the target.
My dad smirked and said, "It looks like your accuracy has increased, as well."
I turned around and saw Mewtwo giving me a nod of approval. "Oh, and one more thing", my dad said as I walked toward Mewtwo.
When I turn around to see what my dad had in store, I see that he had summoned a great-sword into his hands and was holding it in front of him. "Time to spar", he said as he charged.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
When Lamar charged at me, I instinctively summoned my own to meet the challenge and moved in to block the attack, though it's rather hard to block a swing coming from a great-sword with a one-and-a-half sword, so I was forced to pump Aura into my arms just to be able to parry and even then I didn't escape unscathed as I got a smallish cut on my left arm before jumping back. "Ow", I mumbled as he got ready to charge at me again. "You've been practicing, haven't you?"
Lamar said, "Yes, yes I have" as he again dashed to meet his blade with mine once again though, this time, I'm prepared this time and I changed my sword into a two-handed sword with a flicker of Aura. Our swords clashed in a flurry of blue steel-like material as we trade blows at one another. We then locked our swords to stop each other from advancing on the other with a shock-wave blasting outward from the clashing Aura blades and the strength of the duel.
"It seems that we are at a stalemate at the moment", Lamar said with a slight smirk, which made my anger flare a bit and pump more Aura to push Lamar farther. I quickly glanced over to where Mewtwo was standing, erm… floating, and saw that he was smirking as well. Lamar, however, took this opportunity to send a shockwave of Aura towards me, sending me sliding back a few feet, but not before my sword slipped and he cut me again.
When I stopped sliding, my mind suddenly shifted into a more… serious mode, for lack of a better word. It's as if I was driving a car and I had switched gears in order to get more speed out of the car, except I was the car and my mind is going into another drive. What I didn't realize was that, during this "shift", my normally chocolate-brown eyes had developed blue Aura fire around the irises. I barely noticed that my sword had the same blazing inferno outlining it; it seemed natural to me at this point. My dad's expression shifted from an amused one to one of bewilderment and his eyes were twice their normal size, trying to make sense of what's happening. His eyes only get wider as I unknowingly unleashed an ExtremeSpeed attack and charged toward him.
My dad tried to react as quickly as he could, but he only managed to raise his sword before I bore down on him and started unleashing attack after attack. These attacks suddenly turned into Air Slash with my sword as a conduit and, again, I was using it as if it is a normal occurrence. I kept hitting my dad before, in a burst of Aura, I pushed both of us away from each other. My dad landed on his back due to the fact that he didn't expect it and I landed on my feet with about a yard and a half of space separating us. My dad looked like he's taken a beating but, despite this, he started to get up rather quickly.
As he gets up, I desummoned my Aura sword and placed my hand behind my back in order to charge a surprise attack. Lamar saw me standing there as if I was oblivious to the fact that he was getting up when, in reality, he was the thing I was most focused on, even if I didn't look it, and stands up and charged at me, not knowing of the attack that had finished charging. Finished charging, I raised my arm to 90 degrees of my body to reveal a white sphere of crackling electricity, muttered "Zap Cannon" under my breath, and released the attack as my father's eyes widened in fear.
When I released the Zap Cannon, my dad tried his best to dodge the sudden beam of electricity heading toward him, but to no avail as the beam struck him in his chest spike and, due to the power behind it, blasted him backward into the wall opposite of him, which brought up a cloud of dust from the impact. Seeing that using normal vision would have been useless to see through the cloud, I activated my Aura sight and saw my dad slumped against the wall, knocked out cold. I smirked a bit at my handiwork as I walked up toward him with a glowing hand preparing Heal Pulse.
I kneeled next to my dad, who had randomly placed cuts and bruises all over his body, and placed my hand on his head and said "Heal Pulse" while pulsing Aura into his body. It was actually one of the first things my dad taught me to do so I could heal others if I came across the need to. It worked by using the Aura as sort of a recharge for the recipient's Aura, revitalizing the life force and, in turn, healing the body. As I heal him, I notice that it takes a lot shorter of a time than it usually does. 'Get used to it, Charles', I think to myself. 'It's going to be the norm.' I then get rid of the fog using a move that I've witnessed countless times by bird Pokémon I see while outside; Gust.
That's when the events of the past few minutes come back to me, and they come with the force of a truck. "I used Pokémon moves", I say to myself in amazement. "I actually did that. I actually used Pokémon moves!"
'Calm down, little one', Mewtwo says with a smirk. 'It seems your father was right.'
"Right about what?", I ask.
'The Mew DNA inside you has enabled you to use any Pokémon move in existence.'
My eyes widen in shock. "Every move? Like, not just the Lucario move pool?" I ask. Mewtwo nods and goes over to my dad to retrieve him and possibly wake him up. I immediately think of all the possibilities and all the moves I could use to my advantage for a few minutes until Mewtwo comes up to me and says, 'I have talked to your father about this, and he has asked me to help him.'
"Help him with what?"
Mewtwo smirks. 'To train you, of course.' My smile widens as he continues. 'We need you to be able to use these powers on a whim and to use them effectively and efficiently.'
My father chooses that exact time to suddenly wake up and walk over towards me. He puts his hand on my shoulder and says, "That's right. We need you to be able to, above all else, control these new-found and emerging powers. That and a little creativity never hurt anyone and what better way to gain that than by training."
"Yes!" I exclaim, feeling excited for this future training. "I can't wait to start! Ooh, this is gonna be so much fun!"
My father starts to laugh. "Calm down there. Don't waste that energy now. We haven't even started." My father suddenly goes serious. "I will warn you, though; this training will be a bit easy at times, but the other times will be brutal. You will be waking up early every morning to train with me and, in the afternoon, you will train with Mewtwo. I will help you further your skill in the Aura, and Mewtwo will help you with Pokémon Skill and attacks. Are you ready?" I nod my compliance and, with that, we head up stairs.
This is how the training started. This is where I started my journey to be both a master of Aura and a Pokémon master.
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Mewthree! I'm still a bit new to FanFiction authoring so, if anything looks wrong or out of place, please tell me in a review. It would be much appreciated. Anyway, this is Flubbertastic signing off!
