Author's Note: Kyoko here! For some readers, you may recognize this story. But, while writing, I felt like the first time I started Mega Mewtwo Saga, it lacked something. So now, I'm rewriting it. With longer chapters, more in depth characters, and a new story line that hopefully will keep you wanting more!
I hope you enjoy the new and improved Mega Mewtwo Saga!
I do not own pokemon
January:
I, Dr. Takumi Komata, has had the honor of being requested to join a project for Team Rocket, in which I will be the head scientist for the project. We have been given every piece of genetic material from the first artificial life, and have been ordered to create two new clones from the first failed experiment. To explain further, what I mean by "failed", I mean the clone was defiant, deadly, and currently roaming the region on it's own. This pokemon can only be described by incredibly dangerous. This Mewtwo is a strong psychic time, the clone of Mew. After its escape three years ago, it caused a tropical storm on New Island to lure pokemon trainers in an attempt to wipe out the entire human race.
This pokemon is indeed very powerful. It almost makes me wonder, is this wise? The first clone proved uncontrollable, and making two new, smarter clones is unwise at best. We have no guarantee they will obey, and no means to force it. The repercussions of such an experiment could be dangerous, even deadly, if they were to become even slightly agitated.
Project 002-25/26 will be done in what we estimate to be a year. The materials are being transported to the laboratory this week, and the scientists are getting settled in their dorms. Having these clones done within a year is an outrage, almost impossible - gestation for a human child is almost that long, and these clones will be much more advanced than a mere human infant. Maturity wise, the clones will be in what we would consider children, but with power and intelligence that would far surpass the original Mewtwo. We begin work next Monday, and each progress report will be updated at the end of every month.
We can predict very little of what we're about to create; we can only hope the world will not suffer with what we have done.
February:
The clones have begun the gestation process! One of the scientists, Kimiko Karou, has willingly donated two of her pokemon to use their DNA in hopes to stabilize the clones. There was little genetic information left of Mewtwo, but combined with Kimiko's psychic pokemon and Ditto genomes, we have successfully started what could be the two greatest pokemon the world has ever seen! One clone will be Psychic/Fairy in type, stabilized with a young Ralts. The second clone will be Psychic/Fighting, stabilized with a Medicham.
This is an amazing scientific feat, creating two pokemon from almost nothing, who are not only skilled in one type, but two! We have had… acceptable losses, but nobody has focused on what was, only what will be!
We cannot determine what either clone will look like at this point. We can only assume they will both be bipedal, like the original clone and the pokemon they were derived from. The Psychic/Fighting clone will most likely have strong upper body strength. We cannot determine the gender of either. The original Mewtwo was depicted as genderless, and we have had a male and female pokemon donate their genes, but it is still entirely possible they can be genderless as the first Mewtwo. We assume in later months this important detail will be revealed!
For now, we are satisfied that they are growing. At this point, they are nothing more than a cluster of cells, but if they live to the next progress report, they will most likely live to full gestation. (In a side note, I do not expect the rest of the progress reports to be so lengthy, their growth will slow as they get older.)
March:
The clones lived through March! They have grown at a steady rate, the speed is astounding! Currently they are about the size of an orange, and we are seeing the beginning of color and physical traits. We estimate the Psychic/Fighting type to be the bigger of the two, even now it is slightly larger. We assume they will be pale in pelt color, either white or a pale shade of purple. Each clone will have a tail, one being on the lower back and the other being on the base of one's skull.
We have labeled them "X" and "Y" for scientific purposes. "X" being the Psychic/Fighting and "Y" being the Psychic/Fairy.
The growth at this stage is essential. If anything is slightly off, it will ruin the entire experiment. Giovanni has sunk in thousands of dollars, and has made it clear failure is not an option.
April:
Both clones have already grown significantly! Already the size of a human infant, in only two months! We have also possibly discovered the gender of the clones, "X" is male, being derived from a male Medicham. We assume "Y" is female for similar reasons.
Several scientists have suggested names for the clones, but I fear this may be a mistake. I try to keep them from doing such a thing, I see no good getting attached to them or forming a bond. Once they are "born", they will be tested and taught to fight… they will despise us by the end of this.
May:
Giovanni himself came to inspect our progress a few days ago. It was apparent he was pleased with our work, and was even more excited when he learned of their genders. He raved about breeding, "an army of clones", he kept saying. I almost regret using the Ralts to stabilize "Y", it is most likely the reason she is female, and she could just be become an incubator for Giovanni's army of super pokemon.
As much as I wanted to avoid it, even I have gotten attached to these clones. Giovanni only refers to them as "it" and were he not my superior I would have corrected him. He sees them as nothing but tools of war.
June:
Now the size of small children, their growth has slowed down. Their bodies have developed before their minds to prevent rapid brain growth with no room in the skull cavity to hold what will surely be a complex brain. But they continue to grow, and we believe they will open their eyes soon. They have both begun moving their limbs and tails slightly, and we expect that to improve within the next few months as well. These clones are truly a marvel. We plan on getting monitors to watch brain activity as they grow.
July:
They anew remarkable, truly amazing! We have gotten brain activity monitors and hooked them up to the gestation tubes, and what we discovered is amazing! The clones are not only awake, but aware. Their brain activity is near constant, this shows that not only are their bodies developing, their minds are perfectly sound as well. They have grown so much in a small amount of time. They will just meet December's deadline, once they're awake fully, we can test their awareness to ensure Giovanni they are intelligent creatures.
…
A dull, throbbing pain enveloped it's mind. The pain never stopped, not fully, only lessened or intensified. The world around it buzzed, unaware of it's suffering.
…
August:
Both clones have opened their eyes! "X" has deep sapphire eyes, while "Y" has red eyes. Despite being derived from the same pokemon, these two clones look almost nothing alike.
"X" has armor type plates over its hips, forearms, and shoulders. It has tri-fingered paw and toes. It's tail is upright. It is a pale Lavender color. But it's shoulder plates, underbelly, and tail are a deep purple.
"Y", on the other hand, is very small. It's fur is very pale, but the end of its "tail" attached to the base of its head is a slightly different purple. It's finger and toes are the same purple, and has a hood type appendage attached to its head.
They both started moving as well. "Y" is extremely curious, always watching our movements. Her face pressed against the glass of her growth tube has caused several laughing fits in the laboratory. "X" hasn't moved much, but we have noticed him holding his head quite a bit. We can't be sure what the cause is, we will have to wait until they are released to diagnose whatever problem there is.
September:
We have decided to use a Gardevoir and a Medicham to train the clones when they are done maturing. We tested the clones reaction to their trainers, and we were quite surprised.
The Gardevoir seemed to form a bond with "Y". They both pressed their hands to the glass, and seemed to be communicating telepathically. The Gardevoir basement frantic once her trainer tried to recall her, and this only stressed out "Y". "Y" seemed to calm down once the Gardevoir left, but she kept her hands and face pressed against the glass until the lab staff left for the day.
"X", however, did not have such a sweet interaction with Medicham. They appeared to challenge one another, each took turns beating the glass with their palms. They each got progressively rougher, but without enough force to shatter the glass. This went on for a short while before the Medicham was satisfied, after which he left. I hope he will not be too tough on his pupil.
October:
The clones are both at full size; their brains and internal organs are the only thing that needs to finish developing. "Y" is slightly smaller than the average adult woman, and is odd to say the least. We have seen her hold the base of her tail several times, much like a human woman plays with her hair while she is nervous.
"X" is much larger, much larger than we ever expected. His gestation tube is smaller than he needs, but he is too far in development to change his habitat, the shock from the change in environment could be enough to stop his growth completely.
They are both great specimen. There is no flaw with either, they will make great fighters, just as Giovanni wanted.
November:
There was a slight issue at the beginning of the month. A scientist knocked an examination table into "Y's" gestation tank, and caused several cracks and water leakage. This caused a great deal of stress to "Y", she was not used to breathing air and we fear this might affect her development. But, as curious as "Y" is, she soon became accustomed to breathing air and started poking her head and limbs above the water.
Watching "Y" has become a laboratory pass time, we are astounded by her abundance of personality and awareness to her surroundings. "X" seems uninterested in the world, and spends the majority of the time with his eyes closed.
We plan on releasing both clones on December 30th.
December:
The clones will be released in two days. I have to admit, I am very nervous. There is no way to predict how either pokemon will react, and there is very little we can do to control them if they react violently. We are not so concerned with "Y" even with her psychic abilities, she is smaller than most of the scientists working here, and childlike at best. "X", however, is the cause of most of our concern. He has cracked his gestation tube in several places this last month, and has started showing erratic, almost violent behavior.
We have taken precautions if one decides to cause problems, but If they become too aggressive I fear for our lives. They are, after all, animals - however intelligent they are. Giovanni has prepared a dorm room, much like us scientists live in, for the clones. Unlike ours, it will be filled with cameras to observe the clones behavior. We can never be too careful.
We have possibly created the two most powerful creatures in the world: The Mega Mewtwo.
Break
Mew floated over the Team Rocket base, her long pink tail swishing slightly below her.
"Too late." She thought to herself, feeling the clones presence in the laboratory below her. She rushed to Kanto when she heard of Giovanni's attempt to create another clone, but she was months too late. The rocky terrain surrounding the headquarters not only avoids any prying eyes, it made it extremely difficult for for the old legendary to find. She spent months searching Kanto, months she couldn't afford to waste, and now it was too late.
The weary Mew lowered herself to sit on the flat roof of the building, and concentrated all of her on the two pokemon in the laboratory located under the building. She gently psychically nudged one of the clones.
It proved to be a terrifying mistake.
…
An angry scream ripped through her mind send shattered reality. An image of the laboratory surfaced in her conscious, the lab covered in gore. Broken lights above flickered, giving a small mercy to the ones lying slain below. A clone levitated in the air over the destruction, the flickering lights gave almost a demonic edge to the clones evil grin.
It was a bloodbath, and the clone only laughed as it looked down at the countless murders it committed, but it's laughter was cut short. It clutched its head, growling and thrashing around in the air. It howled in pain, psychic energy spiked and lashed around the clone as it waged a war in its own mind…
…
One clone held its palms out in front of it, a small ball of psychic energy crackling between its paws. Another pokemon, that Mew recognized to be the original Mewtwo, was besides the clone nodding with approval.
"Good, you have learned. This is the basis for every psychic attack, forming energy. When you have mastered this, we will work on more advanced attacks." Mewtwo praised, earning an eager grin from the clone.
"This is easy!" The clone bragged, "I'll have this down in no time!" The clone launched the orb into the air, it's grin only widening as it's attack exploded into sparks in the air.
"Show off," Mewtwo chuckled, walking into the set of caves Mew recognized to be Mewtwo's home in Mt. Quena. The clone turned around, and quickly vanished into the intricate system of caves with Mewtwo.
…
It screamed in terror. Nightmares plagued the clones mind, causing a relentless amount of anguish. Tossing and turning, the clone thrashed in it's sleep, tears welling up in its eyes as it]s subconscious unfolded a horrendous tale of slaughter, bloodshed, and rage. Blood of the murdered coated it's fur, but the smell only enticed it for more. Claws ripped into flesh, bu tthe clone found no satisfaction in dismembering the already dead. The3 screams of the sleeping were replaced with laughter in the dream, it's tear stained face was envisioned as a mask of blood. The clone grinned, this is what living was.
Would this nightmare end up a reality?
…
The clone's toes were dipped in one of many of Mt. Quena's pools of water. The clone giggled as a Goldeen swam up and gently nibbled on a toe. Blowing happy bubbles, the fish hopped out of the water and flapped it's fins. With both pokemon giggling and splashing around, it wasn't long until the clone was covered in water. Catching its breath, the clone watched the small fish swim in circles before a thought came to it's mind.
"Do fish like to be pet?" It wondered, dipping a paw into the water. The Goldeen stopped spinning in the water to go nibble on the clones fingers, before allowing it to gently stroke the scales on it's underbelly. A small smile spread across its face as more fish swam up to the clone, the water soon becoming a flurry of bubbles.
"Maybe… Just maybe I'll stay." It thought to itself, grinning at the school of fish.
…
Mew shuttered as she came back to reality, her mind reeling from the sudden psychic invasion.
"What just happened?" Mew thought to herself, "Dreams… or visions?" She began dissecting what she saw. Two visions of violence and suffering, two of peace. "Have I seen their future? How will I guide each clone to their envisioned life?" She thought for some time, how to avoid two visions and how to cause two.
Mew's tail continued to swish behind her as she calculated a plan. For now, she would stay here. She would not interfere unless she believed necessary, and would only observe from a safe distance, using the humans as her eyes. She would content herself with that, and bring the clones to Mewtwo when she had the chance.
But something deeply worried her. She felt the activity of the scientists, the sleeping clones, and the burden of an unmeasurable amount of sadness.
