I don't quite remember when it was I first became aware. I don't know where I was, or who those people were outside of my tube. I only know they seemed worried. They mentioned something about a 'predecessor' named Mewtwo. Over time, I learned their language, and understood more about these humans.

Mewtwo came before me. He was powerful, and frightening. The female who stands outside my tank, Felicia, mentioned how he destroyed the lab. I like this one. She talks to me every day, after the others leave. Her tales intrigue me. Lore of how this region came to be, how frightened we are of me become a monster. It is nice to have company.

Now, it is the morning of day 68, if I am counting correctly. As the sun rise shines through the tiny window near the ceiling, the humans filter into the lab, one by one. They come to my tank, and observe me for changes.

"W-were her eyes open yesterday?"

"No, I don't think so. She's developing rapidly, isn't she?"

"What if she's a monstrosity?"

"Y-you don't think she'll destroy the lab like Mewtwo, do you?"

As the humans begin worrying and fretting over my potential corruption, Felicia steps in, as always, to rescue me.

"Nonsense. This specimen is much more controlled than the last one. On top of that, her power is slightly less intense, and much easier to regain control over. Look into her eyes! The last one did not seem so innocent, so curious."

If I were able to use the word friend, I believe perhaps it would apply to Felicia. I've yet to learn the others' names, but they've yet to approach me as an individual life, and not an experiment.

The day passes, and the moon rises. As the chatter of various Hoothoot and Noctowls begin, the humans leave my domain. Felicia remains, as always, to speak with me.

"Mewthree, you open your eyes now. Do you see this lab? This strange room of tubes and machines? This is your birthplace. We gave you life. I..I see you like a child. I can't have children. I am infertile, Mewthree. That means life can't grow inside me as it does others. I promise not to let them dispose of you. I'll protect you with my life."

I give her a sad, concerned stare. She cannot bring new life to this world through her body? If I've learned anything in the past few days, it's that our existence is only to continue our species. Does that mean she can't do that? How terrible that must feel. Can..can I do that?

"So, tonight, I'll tell you the story of the Beginning. Arceus is our God, Mewthree. He is a deity. He created everything! He began with Dialga and Palkia, who made time and space, respectively..."

I close my eyes and allow her story to come to life in my mind. I smile and tuck my head down into my crossed arms as she tells me the tale of newness and life's beginning. The last thing I remember hearing before drifting into slumber was how Regigigas came about to move the continents into place...
