Chapter 2 - Making Plans
Mewtwo was sitting by an unmapped lake in the Sinnoh region just after sunset when he felt the presence of another stong psychic pokemon directly behind him. He quickly stood and turned around, on his guard until he saw that it was only Mew. Mewtwo liked to teleport to this lake after dark and Mew knew it, so it was quite easy to find him. While Mew was a playful and childlike pokemon, Mewtwo's personality was about as different as you could get. He never wanted to play games, but Mew somehow got him to play with her about once a month. And while Mew never seemed to understand the meaning of 'serious' unless it was on a near world-threatening scale, Mewtwo never joked around or took things lightly.
'Hi there, Big Bro.' Mew said with a smile, 'How're you doing?'
"Mew, you do understand that I am many, many years younger than you are, it is you who is the older. And we are not truly brother and sister, but I don't mind the term." Mewtwo telepathically responded to Mew. He mentally sighed to himself, they had this conversation every time they met.
'Nope, you're taller than I am so you're the grumpy older brother. I'm the kid sister who everyone loves!' Mew said back, 'Ho-oh is the strict Grandma, and Lugia's the cool Grandpa who'll let you get away with just about anything."
Well this is new, thought Mewtwo, usually it's just the Mew Logic that I'm her big brother and she's the little sister. It seems that the 'siblings' train of thought has led to her putting other Legendaries into family roles.
"So, Mew," Mewtwo asked wryly, "Who else is there in our little family?"
'Oooohh! I'm so glad you asked!' the little pink pokemon exclaimed, 'The Lake Trio are the Aunt and Uncles who tell the best stories, the Creation Trio are the members of the family who are always busy and never around, Groudon and Kyky are the cousins who are always fighting, Rayza is their babysitter, Zapdos, Moltres, Arty, Suicune, RaiRai, and Entei are the in-laws, Mel is the musically talented cousin,VirizionTerrakionandCobalionare-'
"Allright I get it," Mewtwo quickly interjected, "We're all a family, why don't we just move on to why you're here now?" He had been vaguely interested by Mew's view of their 'family' but realized that Mew was going into Hyper Voice mode after he couldn't make out her words anymore.
'Oh yeah.' Mew said, her expression turning serious all of a sudden, 'I did have a different reason for coming here than to play this time'
Uh, oh, Mewtwo thought, Mew's never serious, this must be bad. He said to Mew, "What is it?"
'I'm bored.' she stated as if it were the answer to a math question.
Mewtwo immediately face faulted. He then got back up and said to Mew, "That's your reason?! I thought there would be a good reason for you acting serious, even if it was only for two seconds."
'Oh, but there is!' Mew happily exclaimed, the insult flying right over her head, 'I have an idea to cure my boredom, and I wanted you to help me!'
"Why would I do that?" Mewtwo asked, "I have other things to do than play with you right now."
'I didn't want you to play with me.' Mew said.
"What?!" a genuinely shocked Mewtwo exclaimed.
'Don't interrupt me this time,' the playful psychic-type said, 'I have an idea, and I want you to help me. You know about those pokemon battling tournaments humans have? I like to watch those and I had the idea that we could work together with Lati and maybe Latios to set up our own international tournament! It could be called the "Legends Tournament"! We could advertise it with posters and get it on the news networks! Come on, say yes! It'll be fun!'
Mewtwo was shocked into silence. To be honest he did have an interest in pokemon battles and the bonds between pokemon and humans, but to have legendary pokemon set up a pokemon tournament?! It was crazy, it was shocking, it was unbelievable, it was dangerous, it was... brilliant. True, setting up a battle tournament could be a bad idea, yet at the same time it was an interesting idea that captured his attention and imagination. If they used an abandoned printing factory he knew of, posters could be printed, they could easily teleport around regions and put them up in every city overnight. And if hundreds of posters advertising the same thing came up overnight the news networks would have a story on them as well. If they were careful, the whole thing could be set up in a matter of weeks-
'Helloooooo. Hey, Big Bro, you in there?' Mew asked while poking Mewtwo's face with a stick she found on the ground.
"Hmmm? Oh, yes. I'll help you, I know of an abandoned printing factory in Kanto we could use for posters and I have a possible location for this 'Legends Tournament' of yours." the larger cat-like pokemon replied, "And quit poking me!"
'Heehee, sorry. You know, you thought ahead a whole lot more than I did!' Mew said, 'And I knew you'd help me too! I'm going to go get Lati and her brother, leave the ink and paper supplies to me. You can go get the okay for this from the others and set up the location, Bro!'
"How do you plan on getting these supplies?" Mewtwo questioned, "And why am I the one who has to bring this up to Ho-oh, Lugia, and everyone else?!"
'You get the job because I don't want it,' the delighted, pink pokemon said, 'and I'll just get supplies by borrowing a little here and there... '
The implications of what Mew just said were clear and Mewtwo exclaimed, "Hang on, Mew that's- the little psychic pokemon teleported away with a wink- stealing." Mewtwo sighed, now he had to go and tell the other legendaries that Mew was starting a battle tournament. He'd leave out the stealing bit though.
Great, now I have to face all the others on top of knowing that my little sister is off stealing. How is it that I nearly obliterated life on Earth and she's the one who doesn't have qualms about thievery Mewtwo thought, Hang on, LITTLE SISTER?! WHEN DID I START THINKING OF HER LIKE THAT?! Ugh, Mew's ideas must be contagious, first the Tournament and now her family views...
'A tournament? That's interesting, go ahead with it, I don't see how it matters.' Lugia said.
Mewtwo had just arrived at his cave and explained Mew's idea, this was definitely not the reaction he was expecting.
"Erm... okay..." Mew two flew out of Lugia's cave thinking, all right, that wasn't bad, Looks like Mew was right about Lugia letting you get away with a lot, now to tell Ho-oh...
