Mewtwo

Was he right?

Am I just a slave?

Am I ignorant as the rest?

If it's true

Then why

Why do you treat me like your friend?

Is it because I am, or are you fooling me?

Why do you care for me when I'm hurt?

Is it because you really do care, or do you just want me to be strong?

Am I just here to win you badges?

Circles of metal that you like so much

And people give you credit for them

Not me

When in reality, I was the one who worked for it

Why am I thinking this?

In my heart I know

That you are my friend

And you care for me

And share victory equally

That is why

You dove in front

Of those superpowerd psychic blasts

And got turned to stone

Just for us Pokémon

And then

We cried

Our tears gave you life again

So we could continue as friends

I could get back onto

That place on your shoulder

So familiar

I could call it home

So I know now

I am not your slave

Nor am I ignorant

I am your friend

Your battle partner

Your equal

Mewtwo was wrong

We were right

We continue

On this journey

Winning more badges

Competing in more tournaments

But I do all this

Not because you force me

Or bribe me

I do this because I am your partner

Your friend
