Mewted. A challenge from Mellra. Updated every two weeks due to my new job.
Everything was gone. The girl, the other pokemon, his friends, they were gone. There was no light, no warmth, no love. It was cold, and dark. Why was he alone now? Where did they go?
"It's brain waves! Why are they so active!?" He heard a female voice asked.
"I don't understand-" A male voice asked, but Mewtwo couldn't hear him.
The physich powers were coursing through him too quickly. He was afraid, he was angry. He just wanted to get out of there.
"Restrain him until the boss gets here! He'll want test him and than use him to capture pokemon everywhere!" Another famle voice said, calling out to Mewtwo knows who. "We can't lose this one!"
"Let me go! Let me go! Let. Me GO!" Mewtwo opened his eyes, revealing them to be completely blue instead of gray. An orb of psychic powers formed around the pokemon as the restraints lowered from the top of the tube, putting up a shield between it and the pokemon.
Then, there was an explosion from the orb and pluming out to cover the entire structure. Everything was consumed by flames as the small cat pokemon fell out of the structure onto the water and glass below, his ears ringing, as he was losing consciousness. Help me. Then everything that was exploding and on fire faded, only for a bright place with a clear blue sky, vibrant green grass and a blue thing with red eyes that looked down at him.
"We will meet again, little me." It said. "But for now, you must rest for the long journey ahead."
"Don't leave." Mewtwo begged, tears in his eyes. "Please, I've already lost everyone that I loved."
A small paw touched his head. "I will be watching you, little me. Don't be afraid." The soft voiced cat said. "Sleep now, everything will be alright when you wake. I promise." An affectionate nuzzle was placed against his head. "Sleep."
That was the last thing that Mewtwo heard and saw before unconsciousness took him. Outside of his mind, overcast began to form overhead and rain followed afterwards that lasted hours.
One Ash Ketchum was sleeping the storm away, having dreams of adventures with pokemon and new friends. Then, something happened to his dream. It stopped moving and all but the grass under his feet vanished.
"Hello?" He asked, looking around and wondering why he wasn't waking up.
"Hello, little Kindeling." A soft voice that warm and inviting said.
Ash continued to look around before his eyes landed on a blue cat-like pokemon with red eyes and a long tail. "Wow! Cool!" He yelled in excitement. "What are you? Who are you?" He ran right up to it, only for it to avoid him by flying around in a circle and once again ending up behind him.
"Calm down lad." The pokemon said, forming a cloud under Ash as he fell. Once Ash was on it, the cloud was pulled up to prevent further movement from the boy. As the boy turned around to face the cat while sitting, it spoke again. "Your enthusiasm is a refreshing change from must other people. But, you must learn to not be so implsive. There are plans for you. Big ones, but I won't have you mucking it up five regions in because your enthusiasm is out of control and you forget to think."
Ash didn't respond. How on earth do you respond to that load of information? How? "Eh.."
"Ah I'm moving too fast." It said. "My name is Mew. There are more, but we are very rare. I replaced the one that was here centuries ago because it wanted to move on, but that's another story. I know we are normally pink, but I'm what you humans call off-color, or 'Shiny'." It said.
"M- my name's Ash." The boy said, trying to process what was said. "My dream is to become a Pokemon Master."
Mew nodded. "I know. I have seen a future where you get very close, but than you fall so far that it would take a miracle and more than five different regions to fix but it never happens."
How discouraging. Ash studied the pokemon. "So, why are you here?"
Mew hummed. "Ah, to the point." He flew towards the boy but flew around the cloud, turning it around. "I am here to tell you of a.. Side project I have for you."
"A... What?" The boy asked.
"A side project." The pokemon said. "Are you interested? It will help you so you won't be flopping around like a landed Magikarp."
Ash nodded. "What is it?"
"Well, it involves study, hard work and.." The night was spent talking about what Ash needed to do so he wasn't so handicapped by his overwhelming excitement.
The next morning, Samuel Oak was out collectiong berries for the pokemon on the Ranch. His pokemon, Alakazam named Zam, was with him.
"Are you sensing any on-coming rain, Zam?" Oak asked his pokemon.
"No." The pokemon said, shining it spoons. "It's all c-" The pokemon stopped before it turned to a clearing. "There's something over there." It pointed towards the break in the trees.
Oak nodded. "I'll go take a look." He handed the basket to Zam. "Watch those, and no snacking."
Zam levitated the basket to he wouldn't have to physically hold it. "Wouldn't dream of it." Sam practically heard the lying smile.
Sam ignored him and went to go look at what was in the clearing. What he saw shook him to his core. "My goodness!" He ran to this wet, muddy cat pokemon that was being pecked by Spearow's. Probably very hungry wild ones, desperately hungry by the look of it. "Zam!"
The physic teleported to him, the basket landing in Oak's arms several Iapapa Berries short. "Yes?" He saw the bird pokemon surrounding the muddy odd-looking feline. "Get away from it!" He sent out a was of Thunder to send the birds flying away. He then used Physchic to lift it up. The small purple thing was covered in mud, twigs, grass, leaves, and wounds from the birds. "Sam!"
Mewtwo woke up slowly, in a room that was white and silent. He was lying on something soft, he sat up to find that he was lying on a bed, and he descovered he was covered in what Amber-two told him were bandages. They were everywhere on him. "Where am I?" He asked, in a soft voice. "What happened? W-where am.." His eyes were spilling over with tears, unable to finish because he was too emotional.
"Don't worry, small one." Zam said, levitating on the floor. "We mean you no harm." He stood up. "My Sam will be coming in to see how you are healing."
The small cat shivered at the pure power that was leaving the bigger cat with large whiskers. What was he? Healing? What was going on?
"I am an Alakazam, small one." Zam said gently. "And what, my I ask, are you?" Best to get that out of the way.
Mewtwo looked down at his three fingered hand. "My name is Mewtwo, I'm a clone and I'm afraid. I don't wanna go back to there! I don't wanna!" He started crying, his untrained powers were making objects levitate and shake violently.
"Calm down, little one." Zam said firmly, using his own powers to set the objects back down as he approached the scared pokemon and pulled him into a hug. "We won't be sending you back there, little one. Now, tell me your story so I can tell My Sam, that way he won't hurt you." He said to the cat as he stopped crying.
Mewtwo wiped his eyes, snuggling into the other cat. "I- it started like this.."
"Sam." The cat said, walking up to the man.
Oak looked over at his friend from his lunch, the contents of which made the cat want to eat no more. "Yes?"
The cat looked at him. "The little one's name is Mewtwo. He is a clone of the legendary Mew."
Sam choked on his barbeque sauce covered rice ball. He swallowed it before he took a heavy drink of his tea to was it down. "Are you sure?" He asked the cat. It wasn't that he didn't trust him, he just wanted the truth.
Zam nodded. "Yes, and there's more."
