Pink Crystal Evolution
Summary: A Sailor Moon Pokemon crossover. What happens when the most powerful Pokemon on in the world finds himself adopting an abandoned "rabbit?" Where are her parents? Who is she? How does this fit with the Sailor Moon part. Read and find out.
I was originally writing this story with Mephibosheth, under the collaborative pen name of ChibiMeph. She is a little too busy to help me continue it so I'm just gonna post it on my profile from now on.
Yes, I know it's spelled RINI. However, I have a reason for using Reenie instead at this point in the story. The spelling is actually a plot device.
Disclaimer: We do not own Sailor Moon or Pokemon.
Prologue
Light and sound bombarded my senses. Bright lights assaulted my eyes painfully. They closed in self-defense. Next, the low indistinct murmurs surrounded me, drowning me. A wall of glass surrounded me. Strange creatures stared at me. In the glass there was a face. Is it my face? I stretched out a three-fingered hand and touched the image. It was I. Words burst from me. "What am I?" More questions remained on my tongue: why am I here, what happens to me now?
Before I was able to even put together more coherent thoughts, words broke into my consciousness. "You are MewTwo," answered my creators. What were they? My mind somehow answered me. They were humans.
The humans continued, "We cloned you from fossilized DNA of Mew." I suppose they thought I would be glad for this but instead I asked. "Am I nothing more than a copy?" The stupid humans were too blind to hear the bitterness in my voice.
"No, you are far greater than Mew. You are far more powerful. For many years, we have worked to create the most powerful pokemon. Many of our attempts failed, but you survived. You are our triumph!"
"What will happen to me now?" It was a legitimate question. "What will happen now that your experiments are through?"
"Oh, but our experiment is far from over, MewTwo. No, now the real tests can begin."
Fury filled me as I listened to them congratulating themselves on what they believed to be a rousing success. I wanted to vomit with disgust. The outrage rose from my belly into my throat, chokingly. These things did not care about me. To them, I am nothing more than a laboratory specimen. This will not be my destiny! A surge of power burst forth from me before I could even think to stop it. A part of me knew that I should, a part of me said this was wrong, but I did not care. I hated these humans and as far as I was concerned, they did not deserve to live. Before I was able to get my power under control again, I had reduced their laboratory to rubble.
"Those idiots thought you were a mere lab rat," a voice said behind me. I turned to look upon a man I came to call Giovanni. "But I see you as much more. You would make a very valuable partner. Together, you and I could rule the world."
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't destroy you as I did the others," I demanded. I needed no human.
"You are powerful, all-powerful as I thought you would be, you do not yet know how to control you immeasurable power," Giovanni explained. "If you do not learn to control it, it will destroy you. I can help you."
"How?" I wanted to learn. As I looked at the remnants of my destruction, I felt fearful of the power inside me. Could it indeed destroy if I did not learn to control it?
"I have developed a special suit of armor for you," Giovanni said. "It will give your powers a focus, protecting your body as you master your powers. I run a gym in Viridian City. There pokemon trainers from all over the region come to battle me for a badge. You can use them to practice. And when you are ready, your purpose in this world will become clear."
His offer was one I could not refuse, so I accepted and he clad me in his special suit of armor. It did just as he said it would. It gave me a focus for my powers and I was able to train them on the pokemon the trainers used. Slowly, my mastery over myself grew. I reached the point where I finally understood the depths of my power and I could control it safely, even without the armor. Days, weeks, months passed. Time had no meaning to me, but still the frustration grew.
One day, that flimsy bubble holding my angst in check finally burst. "So this is my power, but what is my purpose?"
Giovanni was there with a ready answer. "To serve your master. You were created to fight for me."
"No! You said we were partners, equals!" I felt myself getting angry again but this time I wasn't afraid of what would happen.
"You were created by humans to obey humans, we could never be equals." He laughed at the very idea, unaware that my powers had grown beyond his ability to control or suppress.
I growled back. "Humans may have created me but I will never let them enslave me! This cannot be my destiny!" I began breaking the bonds, which held me, going beyond the suppressant abilities of the armor I wore. I floated up, free. I turned on my so-called master and fired a warning blast at him, and he ran like the coward he was. "I was not born a pokemon. I was created and my creators have used and betrayed me. So I stand alone!" Once again my powers destroyed the mansion that was meant to be my prison and I escaped.
I returned to the only place I knew of. If I had no purpose in life, I would choose one: to destroy all of the humans and the pitiful pokemon that had allowed themselves become slaves. The lab that had been my birthplace would become a grand castle and I would clone my own super clones. Then, I would be a Pokemon Master myself and then take the world by storm, slave to no human, but a true equal.
I abducted a Pokemon Nurse from a nearby Pokemon Center and manipulated her mind, making her into my servant. I sought out great trainers around the world and invited them to my island. Once they were there, I beat them and their pokemon into submission with my first set of clones, Venusaur, Blastoise and Charizard. I claimed their pokemon as my reward and cloned them as well. All was going according to my plans.
But I failed to comprehend the willpower of the humans. One trainer, a young boy dared to defy my power. I used my telekinesis to throw him a great distance, intending to crush his bones on the stone walls of my palace. I listened for the crack of bone against stone but it never came. Instead a large bubble appeared and caught the boy. Mew, from whom I was cloned, had appeared from where, I did not know nor care.
Mew tried to tell me how wrong I was for wanting to destroy the humans. It tried to say that a pokemon's strength is not in their special powers but from inside. I did not understand. I used my abilities again this time to block the special powers of my clones and sent them to fight their originals using only their brute force and I myself, I would battle Mew.
I barely noticed anything else around me as I faced off my would-be nemesis. Mew was a great challenge to me despite its pacifistic nature. However, every few moments I would see the pokemon growing weak, both the originals and my clones. Two by two they fell, unable to fight any longer.
Then it happened. Mew and I faced off one last time. I enraged and Mew resigned, we had come to a stalemate. The only solution was to each use our powers to destroy the other. As one, we focused our energies for the final blows.
"You gotta stop right now!" a voice cried. I looked for only a second, too focused on my nemesis. It was that boy, that defiant human.
"STOP!" Heedlessly, he ran into the center of the battlefield and was hit by both of our attacks. For a brief moment, I felt my heart stop in my chest. I did not understand what I was feeling but I did not think I liked what had just happened. I watched the boy slump to the ground, petrified by the combined attacks.
"That fool, trying to stop our battle," I growled, but at the same time, I was shocked. Why did he do it? He had to have known that he wouldn't survive. His Pikachu had called him a friend before and I didn't believe it then, but now a part of me wanted to.
All of the pokemon cried for the courageous boy except for me. I could not cry. Their tears gathered into the center of the stadium, coating the boy. With a shining light, the stone faded leaving the boy alive and well.
For the first time, I felt my anger begin to dissipate. This human had shown me something new. His selfless act to save the pokemon convinced me that my intentions were wrong. After returning the humans and their pokemon to the mainland, I took my pokemon and left the island forever.
Despite the kindness of this one human, I did not hold much hope for the rest of humanity. However, I decided it would be best to wait and see. I would take my pokemon somewhere far away, somewhere safe, where no human would bother us and we could live in peace.
After a great deal of searching, we stopped to rest and drink at a tranquil waterfall when one of my pokemon, a pikachu thought to explore the cave behind it. It ran back out, excited and grabbed my left hand.
"What is it?"
The pikachu did not answer but it did pull me even more insistently. I followed him behind the waterfall, through an ancient stone tunnel and out again. What I saw boggled my mind. It was glorious, a beautiful valley with thousands of trees laden with berries of all kinds, a clear lake in the center and many wild pokemon roaming freely.
"This place is a special one," I decided. "I can feel that it is consecrated ground. We will be safe here. Tell the others. We have found our home."
We would live here for many years, undisturbed by those who would seek to harm or enslave us. No human would enter this forest until one day three years later.
Night had fallen and the wind whistled through the trees. I could feel a storm brewing. I love a good storm so I stood outside my cave waiting for it. While waiting, I closed my eyes and extended my psychic powers. I wanted to check on my charges as I did every night to be sure of their welfare. To be certain we were safe, I also checked outside the waterfall, another nightly ritual.
A disturbance nudged at my mind. I could hear something, a high-pitched shriek from just beyond the waterfall. My instincts told me to stay, but my curiosity wanted to know what it was. My curiosity won out and I went beyond the waterfall.
As I stepped through, the sound became louder. It seemed to come from beneath a small bush. Carefully, I knelt and pushed the some of the branches away.
A tiny face looked up at me. Eyes of ruby red twinkled with tears. Pink hair was matted with the leaves and gunk of the bush it was tangled in.
It was a human. Even small humans could be dangerous. My mind, my most powerful asset froze in sudden fear. I backed away, back behind the waterfall, through the tunnel and back to my lair. I closed down on my psychic powers, shutting my mind to the mind-cry of the child. Yet, I could not shut my ears from her cries. Her whimpering intruded on my peace, until sharp shrill cries shattered the night. Even with the coming thunder, I knew that my ears would be able to detect even the smallest murmur. I could not leave it there.
Rain was beginning to drizzle as I crept back outside of our sanctuary. "You won't let me sleep at all tonight will you?" I couldn't help but want to curse the child. Why did I even care? Could this be what humans called a "conscience"?
"A conscience..." I mused, "what an incredibly human idea." I turned my attention back to the baby. "Now why in the world would someone leave you hidden under a bush? I thought humans were protective of their young." Questions raced through my head, all of them variations of "What should I do?"
As though it sensed my conflict, the baby renewed its cries. Just that afternoon, I had spent watching a mother vulpix with her cub. Now I reached out my hand and stroked it's head. "Don't cry little one." The baby whimpered but did not cry out again.
For some reason, I was compelled to cradle the baby in my arms. "That is better. Now, are you able to tell me who you are, your name?"
"Ree…Ree," the baby answered.
"ReeRee?" I struggled to think what ReeRee could mean. Gently I peeked into her mind for my answers. "Ahh, I understand now. You are Reenie and you are a female."
"ReeRee," the baby smiled up at me, and at that moment, something long frozen in my heart began to thaw. This was... a beginning.
