Today, I have a story to tell. This entry will be focusing on a partner named Mewtwo. This entry will consist of our first meeting, and future entries will show you the big fight, and a strong bond.
Let us begin!
Psst: The Italic line is Mewtwo's thought. The Bold one is his telepathy.
After finally receiving the title of Champion from the previous trainer, Diantha, I embarked on a new adventure; in order to complete the Pokédex. Also, it would be nice to discover newer Pokémon out there, alongside my team.
Thus, I am presently heading for Pokémon Village where one can see the small, freely living Pokémon there. It can be found hidden on Route 20, located on the other side of Snowbelle City. The road itself was filled with twisting forest trees, which made people often lose their way in there.
"Zai, you came again!" An old man laughed after I entered the village, my face beamed as I recognized him.
"Wulfric jii-san!" I ran up to him with a hug.
"AHH! Don't hug me!" Shouted the Ice Gym-leader.
We were now sitting beside the river that connected to a large waterfall. The village itself was warmer than usual; as it was near the snowing city, only separated by a road.
"So, you finally became the Champion?"
"Yep! That lady was not as hard as I thought. From now on, I'll do my best to catch more Pokémon, and fill in the Pokédex!"
"Is that so? Good, very good."
Nodded Wulfric after drinking from his coffee. He offered me a cup, but I simply shook my head.
"No, thanks. Have you seen any new or legendary Pokémon around here?"
He placed his big hand under his chin, thinking about something, then he sighed audibly loud.
"Sorry, lad. I don't know much about 'em legends."
"It's all right. I'll be going off now!" I stood up as I spoke, and walked to the streaming river. Casting a glance around, checking if there was anything unusual around the water, my look was drawn to the far cliff. I noticed an entrance to a cave that was beneath the cliff, probably abandoned.
"Jii-san! Was that cave there before?"
"What cave?" He took a long stare at where I pointed, then he only said this,
"Ah! That one? No idea, but it might be a good chance to find some rare Pokémon!" His sentence ended up with his loud laughter, which left me dumbfounded. Never mind, I have to find out myself. With that in mind, I threw the Pokéball of my Water-type Pokémon, Lapras.
"Lara, use Surf!"
Lapras nodded in understanding as it lowered its shell for me, and I hopped on.
"Alright, onward!" I said in excitement when Lapras began floating in the opposite direction of the river's flow.
When we finally arrived at the closest shore, I breathed in some air to calm myself down.
"Thanks, Lara." I called him in, the red chain of the Pokéball pulling him in. The entrance was bigger than I first saw, but when I tried to enter, I ran into this weird barrier that suddenly appeared, and kicked me out. I got tossed like a rag doll before falling on my back, which caused my Greninja to giggle aloud, even though he's in his Pokéball.
My response was that of an embarrassed child, rubbing my head teasingly.
"Alright, then. Can you help me out, Gaii kun?" The frog ninja obeyed as he got out, his pink eyes glinting with faith.
"Hmm… Try a Water Shuriken."
Gaii kun swiftly threw the razor sharp water at the blue, transparent shield. However, the Shuriken was immediately reflected back at a nearby tree, slicing it in half.
"Eh? Why did that happen?"
I walked carefully at a closing pace to the barrier, touching it gently. This barrier… It is made by a Pokémon. A Psychic type, to be exact. What caught my attention was the blue color; it was so vivid and strong.
Wait. That was common for a barrier color, so no matter.
"Gaii kun, Night Slash!"
It was momentarily dark as the ninja almost disappeared with speed, slashing the barrier to pieces.
"Yatta! Good job, boy!" I pat his blue head as a thanks. I called him to his ball, which he returned to obediently.
Inside the cave, I opened the high-tech map while walking deeper in this place. Something was off, it was not normal.
"Not registered?"
That meant it was created recently. If so, could it be the same Pokémon who put up that barrier? The theory made me excited and anxious; it must be a legendary Pokémon!
As I moved on inside the cave, huge boulders appeared before me, blocking the way. I used my hands to climb the rocks in order to get a better view, and maybe that legendary Pokémon. Which one can it be? Including legends, there's Groudon - but he can't possibly create such a strong barrier. Still, I hoped to see one.
Also, Lugia is a Psychic Pokémon, as well as Celebi and Cresselia. There are still several others, I can't remember all of them now, though.
Finally, I reached the top of the peak, where I had a good view of the cave. It had a small lake at the bottom, a roaring waterfall, and the Pokémon who stood before the lake. For a moment I gazed at it, studying its appearance. Almost 2 meters tall, its skin was pale grey and had a long purple tail.
"Ah! There you are!" It turned to look at me, where I sat above the boulder.
"You're... A Psychic-type Pokémon, am I right?"
The cruel, lavender eyes it had were narrowed slightly, casting a stern glare.
'..A Trainer?'
"Let's see. Your name is…" I opened the Pokédex to get a brief information about it. And, its name as well.
"Mew… Mewtwo?" Wait. Where have I seen this face..?
"What business do you have with me?"
"You see, that is… I want to-" ...Eh?
"You SPOKE?!" H-How did it talk? It didn't even move its mouth!
'Probably not a very sharp Trainer.'
"Who are you?"
Wah, it really spoke.. What a strong voice. My face was flustered when I tried to answer. "Err.. Yes! I came from Vanville Town as a Trainer! My name is Namazaki Zai!"
It turned away, which prompted me to continue talking. "C-Can I capture yo-"
"No. Leave this place now."
Oh. I almost forgot that not all Pokémon are easy to catch; unless I do something about it. I jumped down from the boulder, landing few meters from Mewtwo. "Then, how about a wager?"
I got out the Pokéball which had Gaii kun, looking more confident.
"Let's have a Pokemon battle."
Mewtwo's eyes widened slightly in suspicion before talking.
"Are you saying you'll fight me in a battle?"
"Yep. If I lose, I'll do as you say and leave. However, if you lose, I'd like you to travel with me!"
"Travel.. with a human?"
"Yes!"
It looked away again, closing its eyes as if remembering something from the past.
"Very well, then. Be prepared, for I will not hold back." It made an attacking pose, emitting a strong aura around it.
"That's what I wanted to hear! Let's go, Gaii kun!" I threw the Pokéball upwards while shouting.
Ah, wait! I had to save my record first. Taking out the notebook along with its Pokéball pencil, I finished recording my adventure.
'What is she doing..?'
Placing them away, I declared the rules to Mewtwo.
"I'll be using only one Pokémon, the first one down is the loser. Is that okay?"
"Quite fair."
Thus our battle started.
"Gaii kun, Water Shuriken!"
The ninja complied quickly as he leaped off with great speed, emerging his sharp knives out of water. Jumping away from the shurikens, Mewtwo charged its psychic power to form a Shadow Ball. The dark energy was hurled at Gaii kun, but fortunately it didn't cause much damage.
"Ghost-type moves are less effective on my Dark-type Greninja!"
"So it's a Dark-type.."
Mewtwo hovered above its opponent, its eyes became blue as it focused on Gaii kun. The next move it used was totally unexpected. My mouth gaped wide when Mewtwo suddenly attacked with Acrobatics, smashing Gaii kun to the far wall.
"What the-?!"
"Me First. That move enables me to acquire my foe's attempted move, and use it with greater power." It replied, glaring at me.
"Whoa..!"
"However, the user must be quick enough use this first."
What an amazing strength. However, I will not stop here!
"Do your best, Gaii kun!" The water ninja nodded before standing again. He wiped the bruise on his arm, and looked at me with trusting eyes.
"We will not give up! Night Slash!"
Gaii kun jumped to the side while forming the dark energy in his hand, materializing to a shape of sword. Successfully it hit Mewtwo, who was sent darting back down. It crashed, leaving a mark similar to that of a crater.
"Yes! Well done!" I cheered on Gaii kun, making a huge smile.
Rising from the ground with a raged expression, Mewtwo began creating its own energy orb. Honestly, I did not anticipate the Aura Sphere it launched on Gaii kun with critical damage. Not only it plummeted his HP, Mewtwo had an unusually high Sp. Attack.
"Gaii kun!" I ran to my partner's side, who just lost this challenge. He was unable to fight Mewtwo, I realized that after seeing the spiral, dizzy eyes of my Greninja.
By the time I looked up, our opponent had thought otherwise. The second Aura Sphere it shot, had exploded before me with sheer force. "Hey! Wait-!" It didn't listen, in fact Mewtwo didn't seem to even care.
I had to ensure the safety of Gaii kun first. "Come back, you've done well." The Pokéball pulled the ninja back in it, while I tried to jump away from the enraged Mewtwo.
"OI! We already lost the fight! Snap out of it!" Mewtwo finally stopped attacking; apparently it lost temper due to received damage. Or does it always thrash about like that..?
"I have warned you, I did not hold back."
"Yes, I know."
"..Why did you?" Of this Mewtwo was sure; it noticed that I held back. I chose to not reply, and stayed silent.
"If you used all of Greninja's strength, you could have won."
"Maybe, but I still lost." I stood up to shake the dust off my clothes. Before Mewtwo could speak, I walked up to it and extended my hand.
"That was a good match. Let's battle again sometime later!" Momentarily, it looked surprised at me, then expressed a small smile as we shook hands.
"Quite unique, for a human."
My response was a huge grin, I waved away to Mewtwo while running outside.
"See you later!"
Today, in my journey to complete the Pokédex, I made a new friend that defeated me.
I can't wait to meet it again.
Notes:
Capital words are either a Pokémon move or a City name. Otherwise would be the nicknames I gave my Pokémon team, such as 'Gaii kun' or 'Lara'.
Also, 'Jii-san' means 'Old man' or 'Gramps'.
Please look forward to the next chapter~
