Chapter 1
May and a Mewtwo
Bryan...no, his name was Mewtwo now... loitered in Oldale Town.
How could he do this?
It all started when he first came back here five years ago.
He'd played hero of the night for a few months, until one day he rescued the mayor of Lillycove and become famous overnight.
Everyone wanted to meet the "Talking Pokemon" at first.
Now he was a regular member of society again... sort of.
He was still somewhat famous, but many thought him a monster due to his origin.
However, the people of this small town were very kind, and accepted him for what he was.
In return for their kindness, he protected them, from nature or otherwise.
He had all he needed to survive here.
He stopped to let some of the children play with his tail, chasing it as he waved it to and fro.
He was happy in this life.
Unfortunately he was about to get thrown for a loop.
May hopped out of the Moving van.
She wore black biking shorts and an orange zip-up jacket that went past her waist covering her pelvis and had no sleeves.
Around her waist was a green belt with various pouches on it.
On her head was a green bandana with a white Pokeball emblem on it.
She also wore driving gloves and sneakers.
She had brown hair that dropped down on both sides of her head, framing her face.
"May, we're here!" Said her mother, who had come out of the house.
May breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally! It was getting stuffy in that truck."
"Well, this is Littleroot town! How do you like it? It's our new home!" Her mother explained.
"It's pretty! There's so much nature here!"
"It has a quaint feel, but it seems to be an easy place to live, don't you think?"
May nodded "Yeah, totally!"
"And you get your own room, May! Come on, let's go inside!"
The two entered the house.
There were Vigoroth moving things around for the family.
"Isn't it nice? The moving company's Pokemon do all the moving for us! May, your room is upstairs. Go check it out, dear! Your father bought you a clock, so be sure to set it!" May's mother instructed.
"Okay, will do!" May happily proceeded to the second floor of the home and into her room.
She was a very carefree girl and had a cheerful personality bolstered by a sense of good will.
However, this sometimes backfired; just as many people found her annoying as they found her kind and happy.
However that was back in Johto, and now they were in Hoenn.
This small town was a lot different from Goldenrod, her former home, but that was fine. She was confident that there would be no rampaging cat-like Pokemon here in this little town, or in this region entirely.
She reached up and took the clock off the wall, set it to the proper time, and then placed it back on the wall.
After her mother suggested it, May went over to her desk.
Sure enough, everything she had back in Johto was here.
She booted up her computer and withdrew a Potion from it.
She loved the convinces of technology.
She went back downstairs and her mother called her over to the television.
"May! Quick, come quick!"
May hurried to the TV.
"It's Petalburgh gym! Maybe your father will be on!"
May's father was a gym leader. She'd admired him and his job for most of her life.
She wanted to be the one on TV someday.
However, the broadcast was over.
"One of your father's friends lives in town...Professor Birch wasn't it? He lives right next door, so you should go over and introduce yourself!"
"Okay! Bye mom!"
May left her new home and went to the house next to hers.
She knocked on the door and a woman about her mother's age answered.
"Hi! I'm May, and I just moved in next door! My dad is friends with Professor Birch. Is he in?"
"Hi! It's nice to meet you! He isn't in right now, but we have a son about the same age as you. He was excited about making a new friend. He's upstairs, I think. Go on up and say hello!"
"Okay!"
However he wasn't home.
May noticed a pokeball on the floor and approached it.
"Hey!"
She looked to the door.
A young man her age with black hair and a silly hat
"Who are you?"
"Oh! I'm May, your new neighbor! Your mom said you'd be up here, so I came to say hello!"
"So you're the one who moved in next door? I didn't know it'd be a girl."
He was more surprised than disappointed.
That was a good sign to May, because he was kind of cute... well, once you got past that outrageous hat.
That changed with his next statement.
"Dad said that person who moved in next door was a gym leader's kid, so I assumed you'd be a guy. Anyway, nice to meet you!"
"What did you say?" May was insulted by the blatantly sexist comment.
Brendan realized his slip up and found no way possible to rectify his mistake.
He didn't like the look in May's eye.
That was another thing about May; she had a temper.
Normally she was a very delightful person to be around, but piss her off and you'd have hell to pay.
"Let me tell you something! There have been plenty of powerful Gym Leaders who were female, including Claire, the leader of the Blackthorn Gym in Johto, so..."
She went into an angry rant about how sexist he was and how he needed to at least learn to keep these kinds of comments to himself.
When she was finished, Brendan apologized swiftly.
"Anyway... my name's Brendan."
He noticed she didn't have any pokeballs on her belt.
"May, don't you have any Pokemon?"
"No..."
"You want me to go catch-! I forgot I'm supposed to help my dad catch some wild Pokemon. Some other time, okay?"
He ran over to his PC and started typing something.
"Okay... bye then!"
She went back downstairs.
When she left she noticed a girl at the edge of town.
May approached the girl.
"What's wrong?"
"There are scary Pokemon out there! I hear their cries but I'm too scared to see what's happening. Could you do it for me?"
"Alright, stay here." May replied before walking north.
"H-Help me!"
She saw a man running from a brown Pokemon, a Zigzagoon.
Bryan's superhuman senses heard the cry for help from the nearby town of Oldale and he started heading south.
May ran further north.
"You over there! Please, help!"
"How?"
"In my bag there, there's a pokeball!"
May rushed to the nearby bag and chose Torchic.
"O-Okay! Now what do I do?"
"Call it out!"
May sent out the small bird and entered battle.
After a rough start, the Pokemon and May got into synch and took out the Zigzagoon.
"Whew... I was in the tall grass studying wild Pokemon when I was jumped," explained Birch.
Then Bryan arrived, causing May to freeze cold.
That Pokemon was the one from five years ago in Goldenrod... the one in the armor...
"Someone said they needed help?"
"Oh, it's you, Mewtwo. This young girl helped me. Thanks for being concerned though!"
"Not a problem. I may not be as famous anymore, but I'm not above helping someone in need."
He noticed May.
"You okay?"
"You're... that thing...from Goldenrod..."
"...Oh. You're from Johto aren't you. I can smell it on you. Don't worry, I was under mind control when I was in that armor. After Team Rocket was beaten, I was freed from their grasp, and came back home to Hoenn to help people."
"Goldenrod? Team Rocket?" questioned Birch.
"Wasn't always one of the good guys. It's not something I like to talk about."
"...I understand. May, why don't we head on back to the lab?"
The two humans walked off and Bryan vanished into Teleport, going back to Oldale.
"So, May," Birch began when they got back to the lab. "I've heard so much about you from your father. I've heard you don't have your own Pokemon yet."
"No sir." May replied.
"But the way you battled earlier, you pulled it off with aplomb! I guess you have your father's blood in your veins after all! Oh yes, as a thanks for rescuing me, I'd like for you to have the Pokemon you used."
"Really? Thank you very much!" May took the pokeball.
"If you work at Pokemon and gain experience, I think you'll make an extremely good trainer. My kid, Brendan, is also studying Pokemon while helping me out. May don't you think it might be a good idea to go see Brendan? He can show you the ropes."
"Alright! Bye!"
May took her Pokemon and ran off to find Brendan again.
After passing the first route and fighting off the Wurmples, she made her way to Oldale...
Where she ran into Bryan again.
"Oh, it's you. The guy you're looking for is up north. Don't ask how I know. I'm psychic."
"Thanks..."
May continued north, but Bryan had elsewhere to be;
he was to meet at Sky Tower with Mew and Rayquaza today.
After five years, he was finally going to be considered an "official" legendary.
He left Gardevior in charge and vanished in a flash.
May caught up to Brendan, who was writing something down.
"Okay, so it's this one and this one that live on route 103..."
"Hey, Brendan!"
He looked up.
"Oh! Hi May! What brings you this way?"
"Your dad suggested I find you; he said you could show me the ropes of being a trainer."
"I see. How about we have a little battle, then? I'll teach you what being a trainer is about!"
"Okay!"
May sent out Torchic and Brendan sent out a mudkip.
After some short trade offs, May won out.
"I think I get it. I think I know why my dad has his eye out for you now."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Look, your Pokemon already likes you."
The torchic was rubbing against May's leg.
"May, I get the feeling you could befriend any Pokemon with ease. We should head back to the lab."
"Okay."
Brendan got a head start and managed to arrive at the lab first, and told his father about the battle he had with May.
When may arrived she was greeted by Birch.
"I heard that you beat Brendan on your first try. That's excellent! Brendan's been helping with my research for a long time and has an extensive history as a trainer already. Here, May, I ordered this for my research, but I think you should have this pokedex."
the professor handed May a Pokedex.
"The pokedex is a high tech tool that automatically makes a record of any Pokemon that you meet or catch. Brendan goes everywhere with one."
Brendan walked over to may.
"Here, take these."
He gave her six pokeballs.
"Thanks!"
Bryan landed softly on the Sky Pillar's top floor.
He was having some difficulty breathing; the atmosphere was thin here.
"Eh. Mew, he's here."
"Oh goody! Normally we like to have all the legendaries when we induct a new one, but right now only Rayquaza and I are available. You'll meet the others later I'm sure."
"Okay. So what do I do?"
"Nothing! You're part of the family now!"
"Hey, don't start that family crap again, mew. You know I don't like that. Makes the newbies soft. If you're going to be a legendary, kid, you'll need two things. First, you have to find somewhere to call your own, like a cave, a mountain, a lake, something. Second, you need to keep an eye out for trainers. They'll try and catch you."
"One tried. Apparently since I'm part human I'm immune to the system of the Pokeballs; they can't tell what I am so they short out."
"Wierd. Then again you're a weird kid. Go on, get out of here."
Raquayza yawned and curled back up.
"I want some shut eye. Somethin' big's coming and I wanna be well rested."
"Okay..."
Bryan thought the Weather Trio's master was very lazy for his position.
"Come on, let's go explore and find you someplace to call your own!"
Mew tapped him on the nose playfully before the two took off.
'A place to call my own huh...'
He knew just were to go.
On her return trip to Oldale, May caught a Poochyena.
After visiting the Pokemon Center and the Mart to stock up on supplies, she headed west, catching a Lotad along the way.
Soon she arrived at Petalburgh City.
She visited the Pokemon Center than went to visit-and possibly challenge- her father.
She walked into the gym and was greeted by him.
"If it isn't May! So you've finished moving in?"
May gave her father a quick hug before nodding.
"Yeah we're all moved in now!"
"I'm surprised you managed to get here by yourself!"
"I'm not by myself! I have Pokemon with me now!"
"I see. Then you're going to be a trainer like me. That's great news! I'll be looking forward to it. "
Before May could ask for some more information on what 'it' was, a young man about her age walked into the building and approached her father.
"E...Excuse me... I... I'd like to um...get a Pokemon, please..."
"Hm? Oh you're, uh...Wally, right?" Norman replied.
"Yes. I'm going to stay with my relatives in Verdanturf Town. I thought I would be lonely by myself, so I wanted to take a Pokemon along. But I've never caught a Pokemon before. I don't even know how..."
"Hmm...I see... May you heard that, right?"
"Yeah, what's it got to do with me?"
"Go with Wally and make sure he safely catches a Pokemon."
Norman handed Wally a Pokeball.
"Here, I'll loan you my Zigzagoon."
"Oh wow! A Pokemon!"
"Take this pokeball too. Go for it!" Norman encouraged.
"Thank you!"
After that May and Wally wandered back the way May had arrived in town and into some tall grass.
After some searching Wally managed to catch a Ralts.
"Wow! I really did it! I caught a Ralts! My Pokemon... May, let's go back to the gym!"
The boy ran off before May could respond, so she hurried to catch up.
"Meteor Falls..." Murmured Bryan.
This would be his home.
He felt comfortable in a cave, something he couldn't describe.
He guessed it was the fact he was a Mewtwo; the original favored a cave in Kanto.
He hid himself away in the deepest room of the cave, where only a small body of water separated the land near the entrance to the room and the land on the far side, where Bryan now stood.
"Well, this is goodbye for now, Mew."
"So it is. Good luck!"
"So how did it go?"
"Great! I caught one!" exclaimed Wally.
"That's good to hear." Norman turned to May.
"May, if you want to become a strong trainer, here's my advice: Head for Rustburro City beyond this town. There, you should challenge the Gym Leader, Roxanne. After her, go on to defeat other gyms and their leaders. Collect badges from them, understood?"
"Yes! I'll do my best!"
"Of course I'm a gym leader too; some day we'll have to battle. But that's only after you've become stronger."
After hearing that May left town west, catching a Taillow as she moved on.
After a short walk she entered the Petalburg Woods.
She eventually came upon a man who was going on about Shroomish.
"I was going to ambush you, but you just HAD to dawdle in the woods."
A man in an odd outfit with a blue bandana appeared.
"I got sick of waiting, so here I am!"
He approached the man in the green suit.
"You! Devon Researcher! Hand over those papers!"
The man ran behind May.
"You! You're a Pokemon trainer! You have to help me, please!"
'This guy seems like a shady character...'
"Eh, what're you doing?"
"I'm going to protect this man! You want him, you gotta get past me!"
"That's fine! No one who crosses Team Aqua gets mercy, not even a kid! Come on and battle me!"
The grunt sent out a Poochyena, and May sent out her Torchic.
However, it got knocked out after taking sand attacks, making it unable to hit its target.
So Taillow took over and finished the job.
"Grr... You've got some nerve meddling with Team Aqua! I'll let you go today though!"
The man ran off deeper into the forest.
"Whew! That was awfully close!" Said the green-suited man. "Thanks to you he didn't rob me of these important papers."
He reached into his bag and pulled out a Great Ball.
"I know, I'll give you a Great Ball as thanks!"
He handed the item to May and ran off.
After another battle, May left the forest and got the TM Bullet Seed, which she taught too her Lotad.
Then she eventually made her way to Rustburro.
She healed up her team and headed for the gym.
May's Lotad was the star player here, wiping the floor with these enemies.
It even evolved into a Lombre.
The path to the Gym Leader was short, so May was soon faced with the woman in charge of the gym.
"Hello, I am Roxanne, the Rustburro Gym Leader. I became a gym leader so that I might apply what I learned at the Pokemon Trainer's School in battle."
"I'm May from Littleroot Town, daughter of the Petalburgh Gym Leader, Norman, and new trainer."
"Would you kindly demonstrate how you battle, and with which Pokemon?"
She sent out a geodude and May sent out her Lombre.
Lombre took out the first and following geodudes with ease.
The nosepass proved somewhat tougher to take down, as Roxanne used several potions, negating any damage done.
However, Lombre won out in the end.
"Please accept this official Stone Badge."
Roxanne handed May the badge.
"This badge serves as the second half to the HM Cut. Please take this too."
She handed May a CD.
"This is the TM Rock Tomb."
May left to see a person in a similar uniform to that of the thug from earlier running down the street, pursued by the man in green from before.
"Wait! No!" The man in green pleaded.
With that he took off.
After healing her team, May managed to find the HM Cut. It was given to her by a friendly man known as "The Cut Master".
She taught it to her Torchic.
She then headed north-east, and met the man in green again.
"Oh, it's you!" He said, noticing her. "You're that fantastic trainer who helped me in Petalburg Woods."
"I'm not that great yet." May replied, flattered.
"Don't sell yourself short, kid! Anyway, do you think you could help me again? Team Aqua stole the Devon Goods I had on me! If I don't get them back, I'll be in serious trouble!"
"Okay! I'll go find that thug and get your... whatever it is for you!"
"You're a lifesaver kid, really!"
May ran east in chase of the Grunt, and managed to catch an Abra.
Outside the cave she soon arrived at, an elderly man seemed to be in disarray.
"What's wrong sir?" May asked.
"My Peeko and I were on a walk...and we were jumped by an odd thug! The scoundrel made off with my darling Peeko!"
"I think I know who you mean. I'll get your Peeko back!"
The man didn't hear her; he was mumbling gibberish and sobbing.
She entered the cave and saw the grunt and a Wingull, which she assumed was Peeko.
"What, are you coming? Come and get some then!"
He took a step back.
May walked over too him.
"Aw, Keelhaul it all! That hostage Pokemon turned out to be worthless! And to think I made a getaway... into this tunnel to nowhere! Hey you! So you wanna battle me? Fine!"
The man sent out a Poochyena and May sent out her Torchic.
The dog Pokemon fell easily to Ember.
"Gah... this is plain not right! The boss told me this would be a slick and easy job to pull. All I had to do was steal some package from Devon. Tch! You want it back that badly, take it!"
He shoved the box into May's hands and ran off.
Then the elderly man approached and ran over to his Pokemon.
"Peeko! Am I glad to see you're safe!"
He turned to May.
"Peeko owes her life to you! They call me Mr. Briney. And you are?"
"I'm May."
"I sincerely thank you!" Replied Briney. "Now, if they're anything that troubles you, don't hesitate to tell me; you can usually find me in my cottage near the Petalburg woods!"
He turned to his Pokemon.
"Come,Peeko, we should make our way home."
The two left May alone.
She noted the grunt was right; the cave was blocked by large rocks that kept her from progressing.
However, they looked as if a strong Pokemon attack would shatter them.
She left the cave and returned the stolen items to the man in green.
"You got them back! Thank you! You really are a great trainer! As my thanks, I'll give you another Great Ball!"
He handed May the enhanced Pokeball.
"Excuse me, please! Please come with me!"
He led may back to the Devon Building.
After they arrived on the third floor, he asked May to deliver the goods to Slateport, to which she agreed.
Then she met with the President of the company.
"I'm Mr. Stone, the President of Devon Corporation. I just got word about you! You saved our staff not just once, but twice! I have a favor to ask of an amazing person like you."
"What do you need, Sir?" May asked.
"I understand you're delivering a package to Slateport City. Would you mind dropping by Dewford along the way? I was hoping you deliver a letter to Steven in Dewford."
"Okay, I can do that!"
Mr. Stone handed her the letter and she carefully put it away.
"Now, you should know that I am a great President. So, I'd never be so cheap as to ask for something with nothing in return. That's why I want you to have this!"
He handed May a small yellow-orange device with a blue button in the center.
"That device... It's a Pokemon Navigator, or PokeNav for short. It's an indispensable tool for any trainer on an adventure. It has a map of the Hoenn Region. You can check the locations of Dewford and Slateport easily!"
"Thank you very much, Sir!"
"Don't mention it. Now, on another topic, I've heard two dangerous criminal organizations – Team Magma and Team Aqua- Have been making trouble far and wide. Be careful of them."
"I will be."
"Go with caution and care." Mr. Stone warned as May left.
On her way out she got an update to her Pokenav.
The match call feature might come in handy, she thought.
As she headed south again, she ran into Brendan.
"Hey May!"
"Hi Brendan!"
He noticed the PokeNav around her neck.
"So you have a PokeNav too? Cool!"
"I just got this Match Call thing put in it."
"Awsome! Let's register each other in our PokeNavs!"
They traded information.
"By the way, I passed Mr. Briney in the woods. I bet he was on his way back to his home in his cottage by the sea. Hey, want to have a battle to see how far we've progressed?"
"Sure why not?"
May sent out her Taillow and Brendan sent out a Slugma.
The fire slug took out the bird, but Torchic used Cut to wipe out the other fire type.
Brendan then sent out his Mudkip, so may sent out her Lombre.
Bullet Seed ended that battle fast.
"By the way, you know Mr. Briney, the guy I just passed? You probably don't know since you just moved here, but he was once a great sailor."
May decided to pay the old man a visit.
Bryan sighed as he used his psychic power to make a random Bagon float in the air in slow circles.
Some might call it cruel, but being cramped up here was boring.
He wasn't as lazy as Rayquaza. Why did he have to stay here? Weren't there Pokemon here that roamed too, like the Legendary Beasts in Johto?
He got an answer as a red and white dragon appeared in front of him via high speed movement.
Surprised he sent the Bagon flying into a wall.
"Woah! Who're you?"
"I'm Latias! I heard you're the new legendary in Hoenn, and decided to say hello!"
"You nearly gave me a heart attack! Don't just appear in front of people!"
"Sorry! Anyways, I"m off again!"
"Off? To where?"
"Oh, where ever I feel." Latios Replied.
"Don't you have a cave or island or something like that?"
"Yeah, but I don't like staying there all the time. It's so boring!"
Bryan's face lit up as much as a Mewtwo's could.
There were roaming Pokemon.
Rayqyaza was an ass for not letting him know.
"So you just... you know...roam?"
"Yep! Well bye!"
The dragon type sped off.
Bryan soon followed, using Teleport to leave the cave.
Like hell he was staying all cramped up in a cave.
May entered the shack.
"Hello?"
Briney turned to face her, ceasing his chase of Peeko.
"Oh? You're May, the girl who saved my darling Peeko! We owe so much to you!"
"Well, I heard you used to be a great sailor from a friend of mine, and I wondered if you could take me to Dewford." May requested.
"You want to sail with me?"
"I have to take a letter to someone in Dewford and a Package to Slateport."
"What a busy life you must lead! But what you're asking is no problem at all. You've come to the right man! We'll set sail for Dewford!"
The two humans and Peeko got into the boat and set sail at high speed south.
Suddenly a familiar figure appeared next to their vessel.
"Hello there, May was it, how's it going?"
"You're... mewtwo... right?"
"You can call me by my human name, Bryan. Everyone else just calls me Mewtwo except for Gardevior and the kind old lady I was staying with in Oldale. So what are you up to now?"
"Delivery Girl for Mr. Stone right now."
"You mean THE Mr. Stone in Rustburrow? I'm impressed, May! He's a powerful man."
"How about you? You kind of just disappeared."
"After I met with the legendaries I holed up in Meteor Falls for a while until I got bored and decided to be a Roaming Legendary instead! You'll probably see me around quite a bit, especially if trouble heads your way. I've heard rumors there are some thugs causing trouble."
"Yeah, Team Magma and Team Aqua."
"I'll keep an eye out for them. Any distinguishing Features for uniforms?"
"The Aquas dress like pirates if that helps."
Bryan went into Telepathic hysterics and almost lost focus and fell into the ocean, barely catching himself in time.
"AHAHAAH! Pirates? Are you joking? That's hilarious! At least Team Rocket looked like thugs of some kind! Well I guess I won't be able to miss em'. Later!"
He broke off as the boat approached Dewford.
The boat pulled into the docks and Briney tied it down.
"Ahoy! We've made landfall in Dewford! I suppose you're off to deliver that letter now, right? I'll wait here for you."
May ran off to try and find Steven.
After asking around, she found out he was up north in Granite Cave.
May entered the caverns and began her hunt for the man who she was to deliver the letter to.
END CHAPTER 1
