Chapter One
"Mewtwo, the greatest pokemon to ever created. Created in the jungles of South America, Mewtwo was created to be the strongest pokemon in the entire world. Created from the DNA of Mew, Mewtwo was everything and more. He had the potential of being Master Giovonni's strongest pokemon but due to unseen circumstances, Mewtwo turned against Master Giovonni and disappeared into thin air. After searching for Mewtwo relentlessly, Master Giovonni finally found his whereabouts and when he went after Mewtwo, things got a little confusing. After returning from a planned mission, Master Giovonni seemed confused when asked about Mewtwo. According to one Rocket grunt, when asked how the capture of Mewtwo went, Master Giovonni looked at him and said..."
Rayne shut the book she was reading and sighed. Rubbing her eyes, she tried to think of any possible explanation as to why Master Giovonni would forget about the biggest project of Team Rocket.
'Maybe he hit his head and got amnesia.' she thought to herself. Rayne shook her head. 'No, that can't be because he remembered everything about the mission just not about Mewtwo and the real reason he went to the island.' Rayne sighed and looked up. Standing in front of her was a small boat that would take her to a deserted island that is rumored to be the home of Mewtwo and his cloned pokemon. It was a simple one man mission that Rayne decided to take. She was going to go to the island and see if Mewtwo really did inhabit the island. If he did, Rayne would report back to headquarters and send in a Pokemon Capture Squad that specialized in capturing rare pokemon.
Rayne shivered as the thought of capturing the rarest pokemon in the world entered her mind. Even though Rayne was the top field agent of Team Rocket, she still had a lot to give to her master, Giovonni. Ever since he raised her as one of his own, Rayne decided that the only way to repay his kindness was to find the pokemon that had caused him so much pain and capture him in the name of Master Giovonni. Rayne was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear another person approach her until she spoke.
"So, you're really going through with it, huh?" asked Giovonni's right hand girl, Alice. Rayne jumped at the sound of her voice and turned to face her.
"Alice, don't you ever scare me like that again!" she said placing a hand on her chest and taking a deep breath. Alice smiled.
"Sorry. I didn't think that Giovonni's number one field agent would be caught of her guard." Rayne shook her head.
"For your information, I was just studying up on what Team Rocket knows about Mewtwo." she said holding up the book she was reading earlier. Taking the book from Rayne's hands, Alice began flipping through the pages while Rayne watched her. Stopping in the middle of the book, Alice studied a page for a moment before showing it to Rayne. Taking the book back, Rayne looked down at the page Alice had stopped at and gasped at what she saw. It was a picture of a strange looking pokemon. It was in a large holding container with wires hooked all over it. It had a long purple tail and violet eyes. It looked like it could stand six foot tall and where its fingers should have been were three round balls.
"What in the world is that?" asked Rayne looking up at Alice with horror and curiosity. Alice sighed.
"That is the only picture that Team Rocket was able to take of Mewtwo before the lab exploded."
"You mean the lab where it was created." Alice nodded her head. Rayne shivered as the thought of Mewtwo killing all of those scientists ran through her mind. If it could do that without really thinking, what was going to stop Mewtwo from doing the same to her. Apparently, Alice knew what Rayne was thinking because she smiled and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry. If you find Mewtwo, your pokemon will protect you." Rayne looked up at her and smiled.
"Thanks Alice. I just never knew that a pokemon could be so heartless." Alice frowned.
"Well what do you expect? A pokemon with that much power has a ninety percent chance of being evil. Trust me Rayne, there is no kindness in that pokemon whatsoever." Rayne nodded.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Well, it looks like it's time to go." Both Rayne and Alice looked over at the small boat and noticed the captain motioning Rayne to come abroad. Rayne smiled and readjusted the shoulder strap of her small travel bag. She went to take a step forward when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and noticed Alice looking at her with a look of concern across her face.
"Please promise me one thing Rayne." Rayne looked at her confused.
"Promise you what?"
"That you'll come back in one piece." Rayne smiled and gave her the thumbs up.
"Don't worry about me. I'm not Giovonni's number one field agent for nothing." And with those words, Rayne turned around and started to run towards the boat. As Rayne went to run up the gangplank, her foot got caught and she fell face first on the gangplank.
"Ow, that hurt." she said quickly standing up and rubbing her now red face. On the dock, Alice was shaking her head in disbelief.
"Number one field agent huh?"she opened her eyes and watched as the small boat began to pull out of the port. By now, Rayne had gotten over her little accident and was standing at the bow of the ship. Her short brown hair was blowing with the sea breeze and she had her eyes shut. As Alice watched the ship pull out to sea, she couldn't help but shake the feeling that something big was about to happen.
'You better come back in one piece or I swear that I'll make Mewtwo pay."
Meanwhile, back on the ship, Rayne had just called out her team of pokemon.
"Alright you guys, we are going on a special mission and I'm telling you know that its going to be a bit dangerous." Six pairs of eyes looked up at her and she smiled. Walking up to her first pokemon, Rapidash, Rayne placed a hand on its forehead.
"Come on guys, we've had some tough missions before." she said rubbing Rapidash's muzzle. Rapidash looked at her for a moment before slowly nodding its head. Smiling, Rayne moved onto her next pokemon, Electabuzz.
"Electabuzz, remember the time you took down that whole flock of Fearows by yourself?" Electabuzz nodded.
"Well, I know that your great strength will help us out in this battle." she said smiling at it. Electabuzz began to blush and rubbed the back of its head in embarrassment Patting its shoulder, Rayne moved down the line. She smiled when she saw the next pokemon.
"Nidorino. My leader of the group." Nidorino looked up at her and glared.
"Don't you look at me like that." said Rayne placing her hands on her hips and scowling at Nidorino. Nidorino quickly bowed its head and looked away from Rayne. Shaking her head, Rayne knelt down in front of it and gently grabbed its face. Making Nidorino look at her, Rayne smiled.
"I could really use your help. I need someone to lead the others in case something happens to me." Nidorino gave a quick nod of his head and Rayne smiled.
"Thanks Nidorino." she said hugging Nidorino around the neck. Nidorino blushed and relaxed in Rayne's grip. After a moment, Rayne released Nidorino and was about to turn towards the next pokemon when she felt something brush against her leg. Looking down, Rayne noticed her newest pokemon trying to get her attention.
"Hey there Eevee. What's wrong?" she asked scooping up the little dog in her arms. Eevee looked up at her with big black eyes.
"Eevee." it said jumping out of Rayne's arms and running towards the back of the boat. Rayne stared at it for a moment before slowly making her way over to the little pokemon.
"What's wrong Eevee?" she asked turning the corner of the cabins. As she turned the corner, she froze in mid step when she noticed her Kingler standing on the top of the railing.
"Kingler, don't even think about it." she said slowly reaching out towards her water pokemon. Kingler looked at her with a smile on its face and closed its eyes.
"Koki koki." it said pinching into the air. Just as Rayne was about to grab on of Kingler's pincers, Kingler turned around and jumped off the side of the boat.
"Kingler!" cried Rayne running over to the railing and peering down into the deep blue ocean. Just as she looked down, a huge gush of water came up and hit her square in the face. Caught off guard, Rayne took a step backwards and slipped on piece of soap that was left lying around. As her foot made contact with the soap, Rayne went sliding backwards and hit the other side of the small boat. Realizing what just happened, all of Rayne's pokemon came running over to her.
Ivysaur was the first to make it to Rayne's side and looked up at her with concern.
"Ivysaur." it said using one of its vines and touching Rayne's cheek. Rayne slowly opened her eyes and saw her Ivysaur, Eevee, Nidorino, Electabuzz, and Rapidash looking at her with concern in their eyes. Smiling, Rayne patted Ivysaur's head.
"It's okay guys. I'm fine really." she said slowly standing up. All of her pokemon watched her and once she had regained her balance, Rayne pulled out her pokeballs.
"Okay, maybe it would be safer for both you and me if you all return to your pokeballs." All the pokemon nodded their heads in agreement and waited as Rayne called them back one by one.
Once Rayne had called back the five pokemon that were on the boat, she had one pokeball in her hand and she knew that Kingler was not going to be to happy with her once she called it back. Sighing, Rayne walked over to the railing and peered over the side. She looked around at the ocean's ever moving waves and smiled once she saw the outline of her Kingler surfing on one of the bigger waves. Placing her arms on the railing, Rayne laid her chin on her arms and watched Kingler surfing on the waves. There was a nice ocean breeze blowing and it caught Rayne's short brown hair Closing her eyes, Rayne let the breeze caress her face and enjoyed the sound of the ocean tossing and turning. As she sat there enjoying the breeze, the captain was doing some thinking of his own.
'So this girl is going to Mewtwo's island?' he thought to himself. He stood there at the helm directing the boat with the wheel. He watched Rayne enjoying the cool ocean breeze and a smile formed on his lips.
'I'll have to thank you when we arrive at the island my dear. Because if it weren't for you...I would have never been able to find Mewtwo in the first place.' he looked down at the map that Rayne had given him earlier.
Flashback
"I've been told that you are the man I talk to about a boat." said Rayne standing on the pier while Captain Drake tied the boat to the pier. Looking up at her, Captain Drake nodded his head.
"You heard right my dear. So who sent you?" he asked standing up and brushing off his knees. Rayne looked around and quickly approached him. Standing in front of him, Rayne quickly grabbed his collar and pulled him down to her level. Looking around to make sure that no one could hear her, Rayne took a deep breath and began to speak
"I've been sent by Team Rocket to go and retrieve a super rare pokemon called Mewtwo. They told me that you were the man to talk to." At the mention of Mewtwo's name, Captain Drake's eyes went wide in disbelief.
"Mewtwo? You mean the pokemon who managed to outsmart the great Giovonni?" Rayne nodded her head.
"That's correct." Captain Drake stared at her in disbelief before shaking his head.
"Well, I'd love to help you my dear but I'm a very busy man and I don't have time to go on a wild goose chase." Rayne looked at him confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, nobody but Team Rocket and myself know that Mewtwo exists and it seems to me that Team Rocket lost Mewtwo a long time ago." Rayne shook her head.
"That's not true..." Pulling out a map from her bag, Rayne laid the map on the pier and knelt down. Captain Drake did the same and looked down at the map Rayne had brought. He noticed that map had about half a dozen islands on it and one of them had a red x on it.
"What's that?" he asked pointing to the marked island. Rayne looked up at him and smiled.
"That my friend is where Team Rocket believes Mewtwo and his cloned pokemon are currently living."Captain Drake raised an eyebrow and looked over at Rayne.
"If I take you to this here island, what's in it for me?" Rayne shook her head. Reaching into her bag, Rayne pulled out an envelope filled with cash. Handing it to Captain Drake, Rayne watched as he took the envelope and cautiously opened it up. When he saw the cash inside, his eyes widened.
"How much is in here?" he asked thumbing through the wad of cash. Rayne smiled.
"There is two billion for now and if you get me to the island, there is another two billion in it for you. So do we have deal?" she asked offering her hand to the captain. Captain Drake looked at money for a moment before looking up at Rayne and smiling.
"Deal." he said taking Rayne's hand in his and giving it a good hard shake.
End Flashback
Captain Drake smiled as the idea of capturing Mewtwo for himself entered his mind. Once he and Rayne arrived on the island, he would go and capture Mewtwo all for himself. As for Rayne, well if she had a problem with his plans then Captain Drake was prepared to deal with the situation. Fingering the taser gun in his back pocket, Captain Drake focused on the horizon ahead and dreamed of all the money he'll receive when he sold Mewtwo to the highest bidder.
As for Rayne, she had watched Kingler surf for a good twenty minutes before deciding it was time to call the adventurous pokemon back to her.
"Alright Kingler, it's time to come in." she said raising a pokeball in the air and aiming at Kingler. Kingler looked at her for a moment and moved closer to the boat.
"Kingler, return." she said aiming the pokeball at Kingler. A red beam of light shot from the pokeball and surrounded Kingler. Before Kingler returned to its pokeball, it looked up at Rayne and smiled.
"Koki koki." it said is it disappeared into its pokeball. Once Kingler was safely in its pokeball, Rayne placed it with the other pokeballs on her belt. Looking down at the pokeballs, Rayne smiled at the thought that her precious pokemon were safe and that she and her team were going to go on the most dangerous mission of Team Rocket history. Sighing, Rayne slowly made her way to the cabins where she would take a short nap before training her pokemon for the most dangerous battle of their lives.
