Chapter 2
Shock Of A Life Time

Ashley stared at the flier in her hands, then to the same flier that was posted on the Pokemon Center's bulletin board. The fliers were posted everywhere. Meanwhile Gary was waiting at the front desk for Nurse Joy to come back with his pokemon.

Ashley had just engaged in battle with Gary for the Earth badge and she won. The battle took two hours, Gary could have sworn that that battle had to be the longest one recorded in history, that had been the toughest battle he had ever fought because Ashley seemed to know every move he was going to make before he even called it.

No wonder why she trashed the Johto league he said to himself.

Gary looked over to see Noel headed towards Ashley. The Umbreon sat at her side and whimpered while he pawed at her for attention. Ashley looked own at Noel in a bit of sadness, he didn't understand.

Oh Noel Ashley sighed as she kneeled down to pet him.

As Ashley continued to do so she began to think back into her early childhood, when she was free, when she was happy, when she was with Mewtwo. She remembered the very first time she saw him. The scientists were all gathered around the tank which held the psychic pokemon. Suddenly a strange sensation flooded Ashley and she stepped back, and just in time too because Mewtwo blew the tank up at that moment!

Flash back
~
"Why do they keep you here?" Mewtwo asked. The little girl looked down at the floor sadly and answered "They say there's something special about me. From the time I was born, they said..." "What did they say?" Mewtwo asked. "They said..they said" at that point tears began to roll from the child's eyes as she continued "They said I was different. That I didn't belong, and because of that I can never be a regular kid."
~
Mewtwo had sure proved her wrong. Ashley's doubts about not being a normal kid was false. Mewtwo had taught her that, but mostly the most valuable lesson he taught her was that every one was different and could do what ever they wanted.

Ashley thought about the time when Mewtwo trained her to use her powers correctly. Since Ashley had pokemon DNA mixed with her human DNA, she was able to use certain pokemon attacks, including psychic attacks. But worst of all, when Ashley's anger got out of control she would evolve, evolve into this beast known as a pokelord.

Ashley shuttered just at the thought of it. Evolving was not a pleasant experience, especially when you can't control your own body.

Just then Ashley heard two boys talk about the great pokemon hunt for Mewtwo.

My pokemon will bring him to his knees one boy proclaimed.
Oh yeah, well my Rydon will knock him out good the other protested.
And My Nidorino will_

At that moment a burst of laughter came from Ashley and all her pokemon that had come out of their pokeballs just to hear this.

Ha ha ha that's good you guys, that's really good! Ashley said in hard laughter.

The boys looked annoyed. We weren't joking The first one said.
Yah, why are you laughing? the second one demanded.

At this point Gary's attention was caught, he was interested on this little bit of bickering.

Ashley wiped the tears from her eyes that were caused by herself laughing so hard then she looked at the boys more seriously This pokemon is the most powerful pokemon on earth. It's stronger than all five legendary birds combined. If you mess with this pokemon I can assure you, you and your pokemon will not survive

The boys were a bit shocked, and frankly so was Gary. He was amazed on how much Ashley knew about this pokemon. He walked up to her and stood next to her. Just then a business man in a black suit came to hear what was going on.

How do you know so much about this pokemon? Gary asked.

Ashley looked over at Gary seriously, sighed then replied That's for me to know and for no one to find out and with that she walked out of the center.

Night time had soon come and Ashley was back at her room in Viridian Gym. She was going to stay until this whole pokemon hunt thing blew over. Ashley was on the video phone in her room talking to Sean, she was almost in tears.

Ashley this is nothing to get upset over Sean reassured her. Mewtwo is very capable of dealing with stubborn pokemon trainers

I know that Sean but what if one does find him then goes and tells Giovanni?
Ashley said.

Sean was stumped. You have a good point Ashley. Team Rocket will do anything to get the frecken pokemon back.

A moment of silence passed between the two, then Sean had an idea. Ashley, why don't you talk to him?

Ashley asked skeptically.

By your pokemon telepathy! Sean replied sarcastically.

I don't think my powers can range that far Sean She said.

Sean shrugged Well it's just an idea. I didn't say you had to do it he replied.

Sean said it's getting late and I have to close down the gym and go to bed. I'll talk to yah tomorrow, maybe then we'll come up with something he told her.

Ashley agreed. Yeah, maybe your right, tomorrow then she said.

Sean smiled Well, good night Ash!

Night Sean Ashley replied and the video phone turned off.

Ashley hopped into bed and Noel jumped up and laid own next to her. Ashley put one arm around the pokemon and sighed This is going to be a long night she said and she closed her eyes in attempt to get some sleep.

Dream, another flash back
~
The Tyranitar bit, punched, kicked, and even slammed Mewtwo down into painful defeat. Ashley was shocked and enraged. She could see Mewtwo was trying his best to fight but he was psychic and mostly relied on his powers. Just then one of the other Rocket Members released another Tyranitar and began to attack Mewtwo as well. Mewtwo hadn't planned on this and was desperately trying to fight them away.

Ashley got madder by the second as she saw this unfair match continue on. Geovanni's insane laughter and the rest of the members teasing and laughing only fueled Ashley's fire of rage. The more she watched and heard, the more angry she got.

Finally Ashley rose to her feet and yelled at the top of her lungs_
~
Ashley screamed as sat up in her bed. Ashley was covered in a cold sweat and was breathing heavily. She was a bit shaken and her heart was thumping like mad. Finally Ashley realized that she was in her room at the gym, Noel was sitting next to her licking the side of her face.

Ashley stared into nothingness for a good minute before she got out of her bed. Ashley quickly got dressed and called Noel. Noel was a bit confused by what its mistress was doing, then it finally hit him. Ashley was going to Orange Islands.... to see Mewtwo!

Ashley quietly snuck out of the gym and she made a mad dash towards the beach. Once she was there she called out an old friend, her Dragonite, Starlight.

Starlight had been with Ashley ever since she started her training, and before that when she was with Mewtwo. Starlight had saved her life before Mewtwo could reach her in time. From that day on Starlight had been one of Ashley's favorite pokemon, next to Noel of course.

Ashley called Noel to his pokeball, and although Noel didn't like it he knew it was for the best. Ashley hopped onto the Dragonite's back and they swam toward the Orange Islands. Flying had proven to be to much of a risk in the past so going by water proved to be the best and fastest way to go.
As Ashley rode off out of sight a tall figure stood at the shore line with a evil grin on his face, his shaggy brown hair swayed in the cool ocean breeze of the night. He chuckled to himself as he said Yes Ashley, go to your pokemon. Lead me to him and I'll capture him Gary said swiftly.

*
It had been about two hours now a the cool night fog that covered the ocean only indicated one thing, Ashley was getting close. Sadly though, the fog was as thick as peanut butter and it was making it hard to see. Ashley had no choice but to call out Noel.

Noel cried as he sat on Starlight's back next to Ashley.

Noel, this fog is to thick. I need you to use flash so we can see. Ashley said.

Noel nodded and soon a bright aurora of light surrounded Noel body, cutting through the fog and making it a lot easier to see. Ashley petted Noel then she reached into her backpack and pulled out a black cloak. She slipped it on and and pulled the hood over to keep her warm.

Finally after what seemed like forever, they spotted the island. The fog mysteriously vanished into thin air and Noel stopped with the flash technique.
Ashley hopped off Starlight's back and stood ankle deep at the waters edge. She called back Starlight and looked down at Noel who was captivated by the small waves that hit his paws.

Come Noel Ashley said as she walked towards the dry land.

No sooner had Ashley set foot on the dry cold sand, when a voice boomed out GET OFF THIS ISLAND HUMAN. YOU AND YOUR POKEMON ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!

Ashley was not threatened by this, she knew better plus she had to warn Mewtwo. Just then a beam of blue light shot down from the sky and coming down with it at a threatening slow pace was a gigantic pokemon. It was almost cat like, with its white fur and purple tummy and tail, this pokemon sure wasn't normal to the human eye.

The pokemon gently touched down onto the cool surface of the sand, it's eyes glowed bright blue and a fiery blue aurora surrounded it. Remove yourself from this island human or I shall be forced to remove you from this planet it said viciously.
The girl in the black cloak, Ashley, did not move but simply replied Pokemon, I have come here to warn you. You are in great danger she said.

The pokemon did not seem amused by this human's warning.

I do not need to be alerted from a human. Your kind is untrust worthy and ignorant. How can I believe you? it asked.

The girl reached into her pocket and pulled out the flier. She handed it to Noel who took it to the pokemon. The pokemon looked at it for a moment then back up at the girl. Who wants me? it asked.

she answered.

Mewtwo, the pokemon, looked back down at the flier and then at the girl. She wore a black cloak with a hood which shadowed her face so she couldn't be recognized.

The pokemon didn't know what to believe but it finally made its decision, and a drastic one. Human, I do not believe you! I have no need for your idiotic warnings. For this I shall kill you and Mewtwo formed a black ball in his paws and threw it at the girl.

The girl didn't move, she didn't even flinch as the psychic ball made its fast approach towards the girl. Just then a pink aurora surrounded her and she raised her arm and held up her hand, and like a ball bouncing off a wall, the black power ball hit an invisible psychic barrier and flew back at Mewtwo.

The pokemon didn't notice this and was knocked back by his own attack. He shook his head to regain his senses and when he looked up he heard the girl chuckling to herself.

She sighed Mewtwo you are surprisingly stubborn, and guess you always will

Mewtwo was shocked but then it hit him like a ton of bricks. Why didn't he see it before? It was so obvious, this human, she knew where to find him, she knew his name, and more importantly she had powers.

Mewtwo looked down at the girl and her pokemon, her Umbreon, another form of an Eevee, yes Mewtwo knew who this person was.

Only one person would know my true name Mewtwo declared as he stood before the girl.

He slowly approached the girl who made no move to back away, but instead she took a step forward. When Mewtwo stood before the human he raised his paw and slowly removed the hood of the cloak. As the hood dropped back Mewtwo had a calm look on his face.

For years he had wished to see her again, day and night he wondered if she was alright. What had his little girl turned into over the past ten years, was she successful? was she happy? or the one question that bugged him the most, was she alive?

Now his questions and visions that haunted him could come to a stop and ease his suffering, because standing before him was no longer the little girl he once knew, but instead, it was replaced by a beautiful and fully mature teenage girl.

Mewtwo said gently.

Ashley smiled happily at Mewtwo. Hello Mewtwo, it's been a long time she said.

Mewtwo nodded It's been ten years. And now look what you've grown into he said.

Ashley giggled, to Mewtwo, it was one thing that hadn't changed.

Turn around, let me take a good look at yah Mewtwo said.

Ashley removed the cloak and did just that, she turned around to show Mewtwo exactly how she had changed. She was taller, slimmer, and certainly more beautiful.

Ha, ha what happened to my little girl? he asked playfully.

Your little girl has only grown, but nothing else has changed Ashley said.

Mewtwo focused his attention onto Noel And who's the pokemon? Mewtwo asked.

It's Noel, you remember him, he just evolved Ashley stated.

Noel stood up proudly and showed himself off to the world's most powerful pokemon. Hmm, impressive. I've only ever seen two of his kind in the past ten years Mewtwo said.

Noel barked happily and Ashley giggled, Mewtwo just smiled. Suddenly a rustle was heard from the bushes close by them. All three turned towards the bush.

Who's ever in there better come out know Ashley demanded.

The thing' in the bushes didn't move. Mewtwo moved Ashley back with one arm and stepped forward. Let me handle this he said.

He focused his powers on the bush and the shrubs began to glow, then with a parting of Mewtwo's paws, the bushes exploded into tiny shreds of leaves and sticks.

Immediately Ashley and Noel gasped in shock at what they saw, or, at who they saw.


****
Huh oh! Gary's gotten himself into a heap of trouble, will Mewtwo spare him, or will Ashley take the blame? But I have a feeling that Gary wasn't after Mewtwo in the first place.

Author's Note: I used real passages from the old story for the flashbacks, pretty smart huh?
