Summary: genetic mutations always have side effects. Giovanni thought Mewtwo's was his intelligence and lack of compassion...he didn't realize it was so much more. Maybe it was a good thing Amber Fuji faded away and wasn't cloned...Dr. Fuji wouldn't have been able to handle her dying again...

Dr. Fuji smiled as he wandered to playground behind the elementary school, careful to avoid disturbing the smaller pokemon that followed the young children around. His goal was the swing set where the four "outcasts" of Ms. Rachel Harding's second year class. They weren't really outcasts, just four kids who stuck together as close friends,

One was his own daughter, Amber. The other little girl was Katheirne.

The two boys were Brock and James. James was Kate's cousin.

"Amber! Time to go!"

"Aww!"

Kate laughed before jumping from her swing, rolling on the grass and staining her clothes even more that they already were. She was destined to get into trouble...

"But Doc! We're in the middle of a contest! Who can fly the highest!"

Dr. Fuji smiled wider, hugging his giggling daughter after she'd leaped from her own swing and raced to him.

"Not today, I'm leaving for my expedition in a few hours, and I promised Amber she could see me off."

"Oh-kaay..."

The geneticist chuckled at Kate's half whining, waving goodbye to the three children before taking Amber's hand and leading her to the car.

His wife in the passenger seat, daughter sprawled across the back seat with a book, and him driving the seemingly endless road to the train station. This was contentment for Dr. Fuji.

He pulled into a rest stop, smiling at the young kids playing with family pet pokemon, a few trainers, all young and brand new were milling about, trying to decide whether to ask for news and advice or to challenge someone.

Amber's mother had gone in to the rest stop to get a snack, allowing her husband to park the car since the front rows were filled with family vehicles and the rare trainer bike.

Dr. Fuji's daughter giggled at her book, sitting up and stretching before watching the world out a window while waiting.

Amber saw the huge truck first, pointing at it to show her father.

It was the last thing she ever saw...
