Count On Me

Lucario was a little scared as he saw the girl there but also felt safe.

She didn't seem afraid of him.

"Lucario are you okay?" she asked as her eyes glowed with bright blue energy.

"Who're you and why do your eyes glow like that?

You don't seem like any human I've ever seen before." he told her as her sea green eyes looked into his.

"I am Jaia.

I was........ created from Mewtwo's DNA by humans who wanted to see if it would help humans and it did but after that day, I wanted to be more than a test subject in a lab so I used my powers and my Aura powers to escape.

I was searching for a place to call home after that until I found this town.

Since then I have lived like an normal human but...." she explained sadly.

"But others were afraid of you, right?

Other Pokemon and humans were like that too with me until Arran came along, he cared about me and for me like I did about him but he's in the past now.

We share a common bond." Lucario replied as he glowed with Aura.

Jaia felt something as their hearts were joined together through Aura. Lucario smiled at that sadly as he remembered the day he and Arran had done the same thing.

"Are you okay Lucario?

You still..... seem sad." Jaia said to him.

"I-I'm fine Jaia.

I...... was just thinking about somebody." he replied to her.

Jaia understood as she saw his eyes close in sleep as he needed to rest from his injuries as her hand on his furry chest glowed with bright blue energy as it began to heal the wound on Lucario's chest.

It then healed over and faded.

Jaia smiled at that.

"At least I can use my powers to heal myself or others when they're hurt or when I do." she thought as she trembled at the memory of being in a tube floating in that liquidy stuff while the doctors had been carrying out tests on her.

A tear fell from her eye.

Unlike Mewtwo who she'd been created from, she had a heart and cared about other humans and Pokemon but was sad because she knew how hard it was for the both of them to fit into the world.

Sometimes Mewtwo visited Jaia.

But in his headquarters Giovanni the leader of Team Rocket was brooding.

He remembered how powerful Mewtwo had been under his wing and wanted Jaia to be a part of Team Rocket no matter what or how.

"Are you sure you want her boss?" Cassidy asked him.

"Yes I do.

Her powers make her very rare.

She could be of use to us.

Go find her." Giovanni told her and Butch as they left.

"Nobody will stop me from getting what I want!" he thought laughing.......
