CODE: Pokemon - The Begining

This is an idea I had a long time ago when I was a little girl. I used to play make believe with my sister, and I would pretened I was a Mewtwo who was leader of a secret organization of specially trained Pokemon who protected the world. I still think about this every day, and now I'm finally going to write the story. It'll be in first person and the point of view will be right under the chapter title.

I hope you like it! I'm using the characters I thought up of the time, which was when only Red, Blue, and Yellow were out, so the main characters are all first generation Pokemon. But I will be adding characters later. So enjoy! And don't forget to leave a comment!

CHAPTER 1 - THE SECRET LABORATORY

Mewtwo

Where am I? Why is everything dark? Am I blind? Have I been born with no eyes? Or is it because it is dark out? Hm... for that matter, what is "out?" What am I in? I have no recollection. No memory. Does this mean I was just born? Are new borns supposed to be this aware? Wait... I hear a voice. I do not recognize this voice, but then, I was just born. Perhaps I should try openeing my eyes?

And so I do. I open my eyes and see the place that I am in. I am not impressed. It seems all yellow, and also appears to be flooded. Oh, my mistake, I am simply floating in a strange liquid. How odd. But what does this place really look like? Well, it seems to be some sort of techy room, and a lot of odd creatures I know to be humans are standing around watching. I am not sure how I know these things are humans, and some how I know I am not one of them. Why are they watching me, and why am I in this container? Have I done something wrong?

I hear one of them speak, but it is quite difficult to make out what they are saying. I wish there was a way I could hear them, so I could know what was going on.

Right as I think this, the glass starts to crack, and liquid starts to pour out onto the human's side. Then the glass shatters, and the humans quickly take steps back to avoid being soaked. I cock my head in puzzlement. Did I do that?

One of the humans steps forward and adresses me. "Ah! You are awake! Hopefully you'll be a bit more cooperative this time around, eh?"

I hadn't the faintest idea of what he was talking about. Who was this person, and why was he speaking as if he knew me? I gave him a blank stare and did not say anything.

"A little confused, eh, Mewtwo?" the man said, "Don't worry, that's perfectly normal, as we did erase your entire memory. You have no recollection of your previous life, so I guess I should fill you in a little. My name is Giovanni."

Giovanni gave me a toothy sneer. Was my name Mewtwo? And what was he talking about, wiping my memory? I had a previous life?

"You are in a laboratory," Giovanni explained to me, "You are a Psychic Pokemon called Mewtwo, and we created you to be the most powerful Pokemon in the world. We erased your entire memory so hopefully you'll be a bit more controllable this time around. I plan to use you to conquer the world."

Already I knew I did not like this man. How dare he do this to me? Create me so he can rule the world? If I was apparently against him in my past life, I saw no reason to work him now. I grew angry at the thought, and I felt my energy, my "psychic power" build up inside. The smirk on Giovanni's face quickly disappeared.

"Quick! Restrain it!" he called out to the other humans around him. They all lunged forward trying to grab me, but my energy burst at that moment, and scattered around the room. I blasted myself out of the room and into the air. Ah! So this was what my power could do!

Having all the freedom in the world, I zoomed away, leaving the laboratory behind me. I had no idea where I was going, or indeed where to go at all, but I didn't care. I was free! Free to do as I pleased. Suddenly, I paused in midair to think. What was it that I wanted to do? I had no wish to conquer the world, as Giovanni had said. In fact, I wished to defy him in every way possible. But then, what could I do?

Only one thing came to mind. Protect the world. Keep it safe from people like Giovanni. Only then would I be sastisfied. I nodded to myself, then headed towards a speck of land I saw in the distance. I quickly came up to it and landed along the shore line, as where I had been was just an island in a vast ocean. But now I was on a different land, and the ground felt strange beneath my toes. I looked down at my toesand saw what they looked like. I looked around and saw a small pool of water formed by a crvice of rocks, so I walked over to it to see what I looked like. I thought myself impressive looking, and powerful. I corrected my posture to look even better. I swung my tail (oh! I had a tail!) and raised my hands. So I was Mewtwo, a psychic Pokemon. My name would go down in the history books as the most powerful Pokemon ever. But I would not be selfish. I would protect this land, this world in which I had been born into.

Now, how was I to go about doing that? By myself? I had to admit, I was a bit lonely, and longed for a companion.

"Whoa!" came a sudden voice behind me, "Aren't you quite the impressive Pokemon? I've never seen anything like you before!"

I turned around and saw a yellow mouse like creature with a lightning bolt shaped tail standing behind me. The creature smiled up at me with big, black eyes.

"What kind of Pokemon are you?" the creature, I assumed it to be male, wondered, "I'm a Pikachu, an electric Pokemon. Who are you?"

Who was I? I opened my mouth and spoke for the first time in my short memory.

"I am Mewtwo."
