The Keeper Of the Mewtwos
THE KEEPER OF THE MEWTWOS

P R O L O G U E
The once mighty Gyrados City stood, defeated. The attack of the gyrados had been totally unexpected and many people had lost their lives. A couple fortunate enough to survive were sheltering in a cave. The woman was about to give birth.
An hour later she did. It was a girl, but she did not breathe. The baby lay lifeless in her distraught mothers' arms.
A strange, inhuman figure emerged behind the grief stricken couple. It placed two stubby fingers on the child's forehead, life and healing energy surging through her body. The now living child opened her eyes.
The eyes were amazing. The swirled in many shades of blue, changing in a random and hypnotic pattern. The creature that had restored life to the newborn spoke inside the parents' heads.
'The girl is blessed now. I bestow on her one of my kind, when, of course, the time is right'

Kishi Ogawa was 14, the right age for her trainer's license, and her beginner's pokemon. So, unfortunately, was her cousin Gabby. Gabby was at present staying with her so she could receive her starter pokemon. Kishi glanced over her shoulder at her stuck-up cousin, on the phone to one of her numerous private school friends. Gabby shot her a look of fake pity and turned her back.
Kishi looked out of her Gyrados City apartment window at the rain pounding down. She got a feeling of great importance, of a well-worn cycle being renewed. She couldn't help but get the feeling it had something to do with the fact that tomorrow she and her cousin would arrive in Pallet Town to collect their first pokemon from the pokemon expert, Prof. Nohau.

Kishi awoke early that day, showering and dressing before taking her pre-packed bag and waiting patiently at the door for her cousin. An hour later Gabby emerged, looking stunning as usual, even in her red sports top and yellow skirt. Then there was the emotional goodbye from her adoring parents. Finally, an hour and a half after she had first stood at the door she and her cousin left that apartment building, possibly never to return.
They waited for fifteen minutes at the Ferry Terminal, then finally their Lapras arrived. The two anxious girls boarded the large sea creature and set sail.

An hour later Gabby exclaimed "This isn't doing wonders for my hair" and Kishi shot her a withering look.
My cousin is so unbelievably shallow! She told herself. Most people wouldn't even guess we are related- except they shared the same long, shining dark blue hair and the same last name. Gabby's father was her paternal uncle, but Kishi didn't usually let on that they were even related, and her spiteful cousin preferred it that way.
Kishi was awakened from her dreamy state of conscientious by the abrupt stop of the Lapras that had ferried them northeast to Pallet Town. She athletically jumped from the pokemon to the wharf and watched Gabby be assisted across by the cute deckhand or whatever he was.
After a conversation between her and the guy, her cousin sauntered up to her, smirking wickedly.
"He's cute" Kishi observed.
"Damn right!" Gabby agreed and the two set off down the path.
As they turned the first corner an overwhelming feeling washed over Kishi. It wasn't homesickness or nerves, nor any other feeling she had encountered before. It was a vast and powerful feeling she could not determine. It pulled her towards something, like two magnets of equal power drawing each other closer.
That was when she saw it. It was sitting in the middle of the path. It was tall and white and had an aura of power emanating from it. Kishi immediately recognized it as a wild Mewtwo. She loved psychic, ice and water pokemon and had always dreamed of owning the most powerful psychic type so far, a Mewtwo. The pokemon regarded her with solemn, intelligent eyes. She bowed her head respectively and the pokemon stood. It wasn't its full height yet- but it still boasted an impressive five feet. The magnetic feeling flowed between the young girl and the legendary creature and, after an inordinate amount of time a link was established and a bond began to grow. Kishi knew instantly that this would be her starting pokemon. Her trance was broken by Gabby saying "Are you gonna catch that or something?"
"I don't need to Gabby. It is my starting pokemon"
"It's not a legal starter pokemon"
Kishi's eyes swirled aquamarine and deep blue with anger. She and this Mewtwo shared an unspoken bond, a psychic link. Nothing could separate them. She and it and Gabby continued along the path until they reached the town. They ran to Prof. Nohau's Lab and entered the building. The professor greeted them warmly and then noticed the Mewtwo by Kishi's side.
"Ah yes" he said, "This is the pokemon your parents told me you would use as a starting pokemon"
Kishi looked shocked. Her parents? She knew, somehow, that that statement was a piece of a puzzle she could not quite figure out yet. She watched dreamily as her cousin chose Bulbasaur and boasted about how she had worked out enough gym leader strategy to decide which would be best. This is it. This is the beginning, she told herself.
Yes> a voice inside her head answered it is>.

TO BE CONTINUED

Well how was it? Pretty brief but I hate writing intros.

FACT;
Ogawa is stream in Japanese and Nohau is know how!

THE KEEPER OF THE MEWTWOS 2


PART 2, THE VIRIDIAN CITY SQUIRTLE
Kishi, Gabby and Mewtwo left Prof. Nohau's lab and headed down the path to Viridian City. "I didn't know your parents requested that you receive a different starters pokemon," Gabby said airily
"Neither did I" was Kishi's thoughtful reply. She had a fair bit to think about and was really getting deeply absorbed in all that had happened when her cousin's excited cry broke her concentration.
"It's a Rattata!"
Kishi craned her neck to see Gabby hurl a pokeball containing her bulbasaur in front of the shocked pokemon. "Bulbasaur!" commanded Gabby sharply "Tackle attack!" Bulbasaur leapt at Rattata and pushed it to the ground, the Rattata sprang back up and used tail whip. Kishi admired her cousin's skill, but a Rattata stepped right up in front of her, causing her to focus attention to it.
"Rrrrrata" it challenged
"MEWTWO GO!" Kishi cried and her Mewtwo obediently slid into a battle position before her. "Mewtwo, Swift now!"
Mewtwo was quick to react as he darted with great speed at his smaller opponent. The Rattata didn't have time to react and was knocked flat by Kishi's psychic pokemon. "Mewtwo!" she called again "Use Barrier!"
Mewtwo raised his psychic barrier just in time and the Rattata hit it with full force, and was knocked back with equal power. The Rattata was obviously beat, as it was lying sprawled across the grass. "Our first victory!" Kishi exclaimed, slapping Mewtwo a high five. Gabby too had defeated her opponent and was grinning from ear to ear. "Nice goin' cous'!" Gabby cried and began to move on.
In no less than 10 minutes the three travelers were confronted by a bold Pidgey. It seemed to want to challenge both of them but Kishi managed to get in first.
"Leave it to us Gabby!" she cried "Mewtwo go!"
Mewtwo stepped out and lowered its head. The Pidgey began to beat up dust with its wings; the small grains of sand pelting Mewtwo's skin. "BARRIER!" Kishi shrieked and somehow she pushed her power forward. The power was something hidden inside of her, she could bring it forth when she really needed to. This newly discovered power was amazing and Kishi longed to be strong enough to use it more often.
Gabby watched in amazement as her cousin and Mewtwo's eyes glowed an unearthly red. A wave, like heat waves, rose between the two and rippled the air. Then a translucent blue sphere materialised over them, encasing them. The Pidgey was clearly daunted by the effect of this psychic cage that it took off high into the sky. "Whoa" Gabby commented.
"I feel a little dizzy..." murmured Kishi as she swayed slightly. Mewtwo too looked a little uneasy on his feet. Kishi felt amazing, sort off drained and helpless, but the more she practiced the easier it would become and the more power it would hold. She wondered if it was legal to form a psychic link with your pokemon during battle and help to boost its power. If it was, of course, a psychic link. It didn't sound right. Gabby was impatiently tapping her foot, seemingly unaware of the previous event. She's probably just jealous, Kishi told herself, but when she looked at her attractive cousin she couldn't see any sign of envy whatsoever.
Half an hour later Gabby, Kishi and Mewtwo arrived in Viridian City.
"First things first," Gabby instructed "We have to heal Bulbasaur and Mewtwo"
Kishi didn't see a reason to dispute this so she followed her cousin to the Pokecenter. Kishi held open the push door for her cousin and Pokemon, then let it swing shut. Kishi drew in a sharp breath and Gabby almost fainted. Standing at the counter was the best looking back of a guy they had ever seen. He had short, shining emerald green hair and he was wearing a bright blue sports shirt over a white long-sleeved top, khaki track pants and Nike runners. The Nurse handed him a pokeball and he turned. Kishi's heart tried to escape via her throat. The boy had gorgeous skin and amazing sea-green eyes. Without even a slight acknowledgement of her presence he turned and sauntered out the door. Kishi once again felt the wave that surrounded her, telling her secrets that she should not know. The boy would play an important part in her future. He was chosen...for...for what? Kishi asked herself. She didn't have enough power to see.
"He was HOT!" squeaked Gabby
"He was pretty cute, wasn't he?" smiled the Nurse "Hi, I'm Nurse Joy. Would you like me to heal your pokemon?"
"Yes, please" answered Kishi
"OK, we'll need your pokemon" Nurse Joy smiled as she led Mewtwo and Bulbasaur into a back room.
Gabby turned to her cousin "What do you reckon about him?"
Kishi slowly turned to face her grinning cousin "He's alright" she lied
"ALRIGHT?! Just ALRIGHT?! You gotta be kidding me!" Gabby exploded
"Excuse me? Your pokemon are ready" Nurse Joy said sweetly as Mewtwo stepped out from behind the counter and the nurse handed Gabby the pokeball containing bulbasaur.
"Who was that guy in here just before?" inquired Gabby
"That was Justin Kanden. Bit of a looker, isn't he?"
"You can say that again!" Gabby giggled. Kishi rolled her eyes. She despised the way her cousin acted like this. All bubbly and giggly. It made Kishi want to puke. Every time her selfish cousin put up this act she told herself she would never debase herself like that.
"I have to warn you about something, the Viridian City Squirtle is guarding..."
"Anyway" her cousin explained in a flourish "we really have to go now. BYE!" and then Gabby grabbed Kishi by the wrist and pulled her outside. Mewtwo glared at Gabby. "It's OK, Mewtwo" Kishi explained "I'm sure Gabby doesn't want to hurt me"
"We're going to the Pokemart!" Gabby cried
"Why?" Kishi knew Gabby could have easily stayed and chatted all night about Justin Kanden, there had to be an ulterior motive here somewhere.
"Pokeballs" Gabby answered a little too simply
"UH-huh!" Kishi exclaimed triumphantly "You're hoping to run into Justin, aren't you?"
"Maybe, maybe not" Gabby purred and once again led them onward.
The Pokemart was fairly small but friendly looking. The man behind the counter smiled as they entered. Kishi took six pokeballs off the shelf and paid for them while her cousin debated between buying a potion or an antidote. Eventually she shrugged and purchased them both. Kishi felt an underlying disappointment that they hadn't ran into Justin, but also a sense of relief. After all what chance did she have against her beautiful cousin? If Gabby and Justin met up Kishi wouldn't have a chance in hell to get him.
The two trainers and Pokemon left the Pokemart and decided to go separate ways and meet up at the Pokecenter later on. Gabby headed back to Route 1 for Rattata and Pidgey while Kishi had decided to head towards Viridian Forest. Kishi waved as Gabby disappeared over the top off the small hill and then she headed North but her path was blocked by an older boy, who looked like he was at least a second-year trainer. "I'd watch out" he warned "The Viridian City Squirtle is up ahead and it is mad!"
"Huh?" Kishi asked in surprise, remembering Nurse Joy's warning
"The Viridian City Squirtle was abandoned two years ago by a trainer who could not control it, and ever since then it has terrorised passers by"
Kishi felt a surge of pity for the creature, then a determination that had previously been unknown to her set into her bones. She was going to catch that Squirtle, no matter what.
The boy could read the expression on her face. "Good Luck" he smiled, then under his breath added, "you'll need it"
Kishi strode onwards until she heard a distinct cry of...
"SQUIRTLE!!!!!" and the turtle Pokemon skid to a halt before her, challenging her to battle it.
"I except your challenge" Kishi told it and she called Mewtwo forth
"Mewtwo-SWIFT!" she commanded before Squirtle had time to attack her. Mewtwo rushed forward and was knocked back by a heavy jet of water.
"Mewtwo" Kishi called again "Use confusion now!" The Mewtwo braced itself and began to glow yellow, then beams of light shone from it and shot out at all angles, several hitting and injuring their opponent. Squirtle's leg was badly damaged but he kept battling, using tackle. Mewtwo easily evaded the considerably slower enemy's attack and bounced back with Swift, this time knocking Squirtle off its feet and onto its back. It struggled to right itself but its shell prevented it from regaining its footing. Kishi took the chance and tossed a pokeball at it. The red light swallowed up Squirtle and the lid snapped shut. The ball shook once. Twice. Three times. Then it lay still! "ALL RIGHT!" Kishi shouted at the top of her voice! Nothing could stop her now she had Squirtle by her side! She was going to head straight back to that Pokecenter and drag her cousin all the way to Pewter City, if she had to, she was definitely on a roll!
Kishi found her smug cousin at the Pokecenter, grinning her head off because she had captured Rattata and Pidgey.
"Did you catch anything at all, Kishi?" Gabby asked rudely
"Yes, as a matter of fact I did" Kishi snapped
"What?" Gabby sneered
"The Viridian City Squirtle" Kishi said, savoring her victory
"REALLY?!" Nurse Joy called out "Let me heal it!"
Kishi took her new pokemon in its pokeball to the pretty young nurse behind the marble counter, who rushed it into the back room.
"It's getting pretty late" observed Kishi
"It's only SIX in the afternoon!" Gabby said in her I'm-so-perfect voice
"That's too late to make it through Viridian Forest and arrive in Pewter City!" Kishi shot back, smiling to herself when her cousin had no answer.
"Where are we gonna spend the night?" Gabby asked triumphantly
"The Pokecenter is always open for young Pokemon trainers," Nurse Joy said helpfully as she handed Squirtle back to Kishi
"We'll stay here then," said Kishi
"Whatever" Gabby sighed in an indignant voice. Kishi smiled at how much Gabby hated losing.

2 hours later

Kishi and Nurse Joy are discussing Ethers and Potions and Gabby is bored out of her mind.

"Isn't there ANYTHING to do here?" wailed Gabby
"Well actually," Nurse Joy told her "There is. The Under Age Rave started about half an hour ago at the local club. You could head up to that"
Gabby grinned a dangerous grin. That sounded like fun, and Justin would have to be there. She rushed to the rest room to get changed. She made herself look extra cute tonight. Tonight mattered; A LOT. She let her hair fly like a silken cloud around her shoulders and she wore her best clothes. She looked stunning and she knew it as she waved a brief farewell to Kishi and Joy.

IN THE NEXT UPDATE- Gabby meets Estelle and Justin

TO BE CONTINUED...

Pretty average as far as stories go. The series will probably get better later on because I hate writing stuff from the start but if I don't you get really confused...

Well I hope you all enjoyed seeing the two ancient Mewtwo texts again. Nex time I'll introduce a new character and there will be a Viridian Forest Crisis. I just don't know what it is yet!


LOVE,

The Keeper of the Mewtwos
#3- Bugs, Lies and Pokeballs

Well as you remember, last time Kishi caught the Viridian City Squirtle, Gabby caught Rattata and Pidgey and they saw a REALLY cute guy. In her efforts to track him down Gabby arrives at the local nightclub.



Gabby pushed her way through the crowded entrance and stepped onto the dance floor. The club had wisps of silver smoke coming up from the floor and the lights flashed on and off. Glowing stars lined the walls and roof.
"I'm in heaven" breathed Gabby in raptures. Then, realising she looked like a total geek she began to dance to the heavy metal song that was playing, although she had no idea who sang it.
After about fifteen minutes Gabby got what she was wishing for. Across the room she saw Justin dancing with a girl whose long brunette locks glittered in the crazy lights.
Gabby fought her way through the crowd but by the time she had reached the opposite wall Justin had vanished. Gabby was about to give up hope when she saw the girl who had danced with Justin leaning against the wall with a glass of punch in her hand.
"Hi!" Gabby said loudly over the music as she joined the girl on the wall.
The girl turned and looked Gabby over, raising a perfectly plucked eyebrow every now and then. After what had seemed like an age of discomfort the girl spoke.
"Hi"
The girl was definitely one of the cool crowd around the place, and had the air of someone who would not be seen in anything or with anyone that was uncool.
Gabby was glad she'd passed the initial test, but she knew getting into conversation with the girl would be an uphill battle all the way.
"I'm Gabby," she introduced, then realising how dumb she'd sounded she quickly sucked up to the girl in the long white dress. "I can't believe how cute you and Justin are together!"
Gabby had chosen to say that as it would not only make the girl a lot easier to win over but also give away the information Gabby needed about Justin's love life.
"Thank you." Said the girl cooly, not giving anything away "I'm Estelle"
"That's a very pretty name! It suits you perfectly as well".
Estelle just smiled, making it clear that she had this happen every day.
"Thank you again. You are very kind" smiled Estelle "Where are you from?"
"I used to live in Celadon, but at the moment I'm staying at my cousin's in Gyrados City, I mean, I was, but now I'm a Pokemon trainer"
"I know you're a trainer" Estelle said matter-of-factly "I saw you yesterday battling some Squirtle. You were wearing a hideous pair of denim shorts and a dark blue cropped shirt, with white sleeves. I'm glad you look semi-decent now"
Gabby was mad now.
"That was so totally NOT me!" Gabby shrieked "It was my daggy cousin Kishi!"
"Oh I'm sure" Estelle said primly, satisfied that she had riled Gabby up. She then went on, pretending nothing had happened "Speaking of Pokemon I'm a trainer too, and so is Justin, infact he's escorting me through Viridian Forest tomorrow morning. He knows I can't stand bugs"
"Bugs?" Gabby did a double take "There are BUGS in Viridian Forest?!"
"Of course" Estelle sighed "Can't stand the things, but Justin said he'd protect me"
"Would he protect me as well? I hate bugs" Gabby half whined, half cried.
"I 'spose so" Estelle said boredly "As long as you aren't wearing black sneakers and a blue crop top!"
"Oh it was Kishi. KI-SHI. KISHI!" cried Gabby in frustration.
"Sure it was!" giggled Estelle "See you at 8 am, pigtails!"
"THAT WAS KISHI!" Gabby cried as Estelle faded into the crowd.



"OH NO!" wailed Gabby when she saw the time "It's 7:30 ALREADY!"
"Wha?" asked Kishi drearily from the bunk above her "7:30? Too early. Night."
And then Kishi flopped back into bed.
"Ki- SHI!" cried Gabby, scrambling up the ladder. "We gotta be outside Viridian Forest at EIGHT!"
"Good for us" whined Kishi drowsily "And what do you mean 'we'?"
"These cool people invited me." Gabby lied "And one of them thinks that I'm you, so you gotta come to prove I'm not ugly and unfashionable like you"
"Jesus, Gabbs, you really know how to flatter me into something" Kishi grumbled, although she didn't care. "Mewtwo, wake up!"
Across the room on the opposite bunk Mewtwo stirred awake.
"Mewtwo?" it asked.
"Gabby has 'invited' us to see her new friends outside Viridian Forest" Kishi explained.
Mewtwo gave Gabby a long hard stare that made her so uncomfortable that she had to brace her self not to fall as she stepped down the ladder.
"I'm going to get dressed and ready" Gabby said, grabbing her bag and heading for the door.
"Oh, and Gabby?" asked Kishi before her cousin left the room "Do you want me to wear something cool?"
"No!" Gabby cried "Definitely not!"


"Oh Gabby, nice to see you again!" hollered Estelle as Gabby and Kishi came running up to the Markers Office outside Viridian.
Justin didn't look up.
"You too. This is my cousin Kishi" gabby said triumphantly, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Aah Kishi, I've heard so much about you" said Estelle, raising her eyebrow at Gabby.
"I'm sure you have" said Kishi guardedly, patting her Mewtwo on the stomach as it stood next to her protectively.
"Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" Gabby said dramatically to Estelle, her hand pointing directly at Justin.
"Last night you gave the impression that you knew him" Estelle said, pretending to brush dust from her impeccable sky blue silk ruched dress and sending Kishi a look as though they were both on the same side.
Kishi didn't know how to feel about the strange new girl. Was she an enemy or ally? Friend or foe?
"I've heard his name in conversation. Well actually Kishi here never shuts up about him" Gabby defended.
Mewtwo took a step forward menacingly and Kishi just looked down her nose at Gabby.
"I'm sure," Estelle said disbelievingly. "Anyway this is Justin Kanden"
Justin looked up and flashed a dazzling, but bored, smile.
"And Justin, this is Gabby and Kisha Ogawa"
"KishI" corrected Kishi, aware that Estelle had wrongly pronounced her name on purpose.
"Nice to meet both of you" Justin said with a sharp nod of his head. He turned to Estelle "Can we go yet?"
"Of course, right now, if Gabby isn't too scared. She's TERRIFIED of bugs, so scared that she INSISTED to join us" Estelle said with a smile for Kishi's benefit. Kishi just squinted as though she could see right through her.
Estelle, freaked out, led the way into the Markers Office.
"Come on in!" greeted the friendly voice of the male attendant "Sign this book, so we know how many people are in there and in case we need to search for them. You have to check out on the other side as well" he said as everyone finished with the book.
"Be careful," he added as an afterthought "It's a natural maze"



Roughly twenty minutes after the group of four had entered the forest they stood face to face with an ugly trainer in a weird costume.
"I am Samurai" he cried "And no-one shall pass if they lose to me. Who's first?"
"I am." Kishi said forcefully, stepping up to him "And I choose Mewtwo" she motioned for Mewtwo to join her side.
"Well I choose Metapod- GOOO!"
He threw the Pokeball the green bug was released.
"Metapod" it intoned in its monotone voice.
I can beat you> Mewtwo said telepathically.
"Mewtwo, confusion" commanded Kishi in a steely tone.
Mewtwo raised its slender arms above its head and seemed to draw power from the air. Its eyes glowed red and then shafts of yellow light radiated form its heart, shooting out at all angles.
Metapod was so slow and sluggish that it could not evade Mewtwo's attack.
"Metapod, harden" Samurai yelled.
Metapod glowed in the sunlight and its shell became stronger.
Kishi's eyes began to glow as swirling pools of blue. Mewtwo> she told it through telepathy Use swift>
Mewtwo dove at the Pokemon, who was considerably weaker than itself...
"Metapod, return" Samurai said, proudly.
Kishi was impressed. Samurai obviously knew his Pokemon. An impact that hard could have popped Metapod out of its shell.
"You are good. What is your name?" Samurai asked
"I am Kishi"
"You are good, Kishi, but no match for PINSIR- GOOOO!"
The Pokeball bounced upon the ground, revealing the tall stag beetle Pokemon.
Kishi raised an eyebrow, but called out Squirtle.
"Squirtle!" she cried "I choose you!"
She threw the Pokeball and Squirtle reluctantly stepped out. It glared at Kishi then sat on the ground, stumpy blue arms crossed.
Samurai laughed, as did Gabby and Estelle. Justin stayed quiet, viewing the scene with little interest.
"Squirtle, return, Mewtwo GO!" Kishi cried, seemingly unaffected by Squirtle being an Outsider.
"We can beat a girl whose start Pokemon won't obey her, Pinsir Tackle attack!"
Mewtwo's speed came to the rescue and it dodged the attack with ease and grace.
"Actually," Kishi corrected "Mewtwo is my start Pokemon, and we are unbeatable!"
Mewtwo> she told it Psybeam>
Mewtwo stood up to its incomplete but still impressive height, its arms stretched high above its horned head. Kishi's eyes began to glow brighter than before, light emanating from both her body and Mewtwo's. The center of their foreheads,(or 'third eye' if you watch your manga!) glowed yellow and power danced in their eyes.
The power swirled from Kishi to Mewtwo, who used it as its own and directed it with full force at Pinsir, who was easily defeated.
"You are very good Kishi" Samurai commented as he returned his fainted bug "I was no match for you. Your powers are even superior, to, dare I say it? Ash."
"Ash?" Estelle asked skeptically "Who?"
"He has such a great for love his Pokemon. Yes I do hope to see him again," Samurai said dreamily.
Gabby gave Kishi a look of disgust.
Kishi shook her head and said "Ok, we have to go now. Bye!"
"Farewell. I hope we meet again!" Samurai called out as the four disappeared into the trees.
So do I> Kishi told him through telepathy.



Half an hour later things were roughly the same. Justin was silent, and had captured Weedle and Caterpie. Kishi was surprised to learn that Justin had had a different starting Pokemon, Pikachu, as well. He also sported a Pidgey and Spearow.
Estelle had a Jigglypuff and a Clefairy on her side and Gabby had Bulbasaur, Rattata and Pidgey.


Then two hours after the whole ordeal had started it was over. Gabby, Kishi, Justin and Estelle signed out at the next Marker Office and then stepped into the dazzling sunlight of Route 3.

"What the hell is that?" Estelle asked in shock, staring straight ahead of them where a giant black pipe lay.
"We'll come to it soon enough" Kishi said, taking the first step in the direction of Pewter City.

The End.


OK, OK, I ended it too easily, I didn't include any Viridian City crisis but I had fun.


Next time the gang walks into the pipe and gets the surprise of their life! Meet Team Rocket 3, New and Improved! (He-he!)


Love,
Your happy holidays (Yippee!) Author,

The Keeper Of The Mewtwo's #4
- A New Enemy

Last Time- Kishi and her friends passed through Viridian Forest and are waiting near a huge, black pipe.



Estelle took a step closer to the pipe. It was actually more of a half pipe seven feet tall and of equal length. Both ends were open she could vaguely make out a grassy field on the other side. It was lit by a series of white halogen lights along the roof.
"I guess we go through this" Estelle said uncertainly.
"Don't be so NAÏVE, It's a toll dome" Gabby teased "It's used to gage how many people cross by here so the City Council can decide how wide the Routes should be and all that."
"Shouldn't they just get a dude to sit here? Or a smaller pipe?" Justin argued.
"What the Hell? Are you wimps or something? If ANYTHING goes wrong, which it WON'T we have our Pokemon to protect us" sneered Gabby.
"Don't start a fight here guys," Kishi said, stepping between Estelle and Gabby "Let's just go through, as Gabby said, we do have our Pokemon."
"And Outsiders," muttered Estelle, peeved because she had lost the verbal war.
Kishi looked at her and raised an eyebrow in distaste at her immaturity.
"Let's go. I'm in a hurry here," Justin said, making the first step into the flat-bottomed pipe.


As they walk along the dark tunnel they noticed a row of dark red lights along both sides of the sloping walls. When the reached the middle the lights began to flash, the red and white ones.


A steady beat began to play, drumming from all sides. Mewtwo scampered on all fours ahead in fright, and stopped when he sensed what was coming.


Three pairs of feet walked in time to the beat and pulsing lights along the smooth tunnel floor. There were two pairs of white boots and a pair of small furry paws.


Kishi and the others ran to Mewtwo and stopped dead as well.


The lights clicked on and the figures were revealed.

There was a Meowth, a human girl and a human guy, looking like they were in their late teens. The girl wore long white knee boots and white elbow gloves, the traditional Team Rocket open shirt was black with a red 'R' and her cropped top underneath white. She wore a black miniskirt and had shoulder length lavender hair, worn with a rose tucked above her ear.
The man had scarlet hair, flicked over to one side and wore white gloves and boots, a black open front shirt, white T-shirt underneath and black pants. He had a dazzling copper earring in one ear.

"Make way for trouble!" cried the girl dramatically
"On the double!" the boy announced smoothly
"To plunge the world to devastation!" the girl said, grinning wickedly at Justin.
"To split apart our very nation!"
"To announce our hatred for truth and love!"
"To infect our might to the stars above!"
"Jenna!"
"Josh!"
"Team Rocket are faster than the speed of light!"
"So give it up now, or prepare to lose the fight!"
"MEOWTH, That's right!"

"What do you want from us?" Gabby exclaimed with bravado.
"What do we want?" Jenna asked Josh in a coy voice.
"We want your Pokemon" Josh drawled
"You can't do that. Thieving is against the League Rules," Kishi pointed out, stepping into her battle stance. Mewtwo crossed his long arms over his chest armor.
"League, smeeg." Jenna scoffed "If we obeyed the rules we'd be Masters by now"
"And what do you obey?" Justin asked, playing for time.
"The Team Rocket Code of Conduct and Rules," Jenna and Josh quoted.
Estelle opened her mouth to speak but Josh silenced her with a wave of his hand.
"Enough chit-chat," he ordered "Spearow GO!"
Josh threw the Pokeball neatly at Justin's feet and the flying type Pokemon was called forth.
"Leave it to me!" Justin cried "Pikachu GO!"
He aimed his throw perfectly and Pikachu landed below Spearow as it swooped.
"He might just win!" Jenna cried in annoyance "Sandshrew GO!"
"You can't use two Pokemon in one battle!" Gabby cried.
"Boo-hoo!" Jenna laughed "Pikachu's attacks are useless against Sandshrew!"
Kishi looked hard at Sandshrew. She couldn't call Squirtle out, because Squirtle wouldn't obey her, so Mewtwo would have to take a shot. She was about to yell out for Mewtwo to step forward when Gabby stepped up beside her.
"Bulbasaur GO!"
Bulbasaur emerged and Sandshrew tackled it, knocking it to the ground.
Kishi looked at Mewtwo and nodded. Mewtwo rushed up to Sandshrew and knocked it off Bulbasaur's stomach.
"Spearow!" ordered Josh "Get that Mewtwo outta here! Whirlwind!"
"Mewtwo! Confusion!"
Spearow beat its wings hard and fast, but it was too late. Mewtwo already had the power stored inside itself.
Its eyes glowed yellow and then the beams of energy shot out from its body, narrowly missing Bulbasaur.
Spearow was hit and dropped to the ground in mid-flight. Sandshrew was knocked back into Jenna's legs, and putting the old domino effect into action she toppled into Josh, who squashed Meowth.
"It's not over yet!" Josh yelled "Spearow Gust attack!"
but Spearow was confused and its attack missed, instead sending Jenna, Josh, Meowth and Sandshrew flying.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" yelled Team Rocket as they crashed through the roof.
"Row?" it said in shock and then flew after its trainer.
"OK, now that was weird," said Estelle.
"Yeah," teased Gabby "They were bigger freaks than you, Kishi"
Kishi was about to rush to her defense when surprise, Justin did it for her.
"You should be thanking Kishi. If it wasn't for her and Mewtwo, Team Rocket would have all our Pokemon"
Kishi's heart melted, but she showed no outward sign of it.
"Thanks," she said coolly, smiling smugly at Estelle and Gabby, aware that they would never argue back to Justin.
"Any time," he grinned back, his smile warm and friendly.




Some time later that day Kishi and her friends arrived in Pewter City. The first thing they did was visit the Pokecenter, where they saw a poster advertising the Pewter City Regional Championships, which were in two days time. There were four spaces left blank, and sixteen trainers were needed to enter.
Grinning Kishi looked at Gabby.
"Why not?" she grinned back, signing their names at the bottom of the list.



TO BE CONTINUED...



Is there to be a budding romance between Justin and Kishi? Is Gabby going to be nice to Kishi for a day? Will Squirtle ever obey Kishi? Will Team Rocket return?


The answers to some, but not all, of your questions will be answered next time.


PREVIEW FOR NEXT WEEK- While Kishi is sleeping Squirtle makes an escape, and she is forced to make the hardest decision a trainer can hope not to make. Will she release Squirtle or not?



Love,
Mew2
