MewTwo's presence was defenitely an intimidating one. Even to a Dark type like Tyra, his gaze made him sweat a little. "Let me guess," Tyra finally said, "you want me to be apart of your little Ponyta show."
"You're quick to the point," MewTwo said, "I like that." With a wave of his hand a tray moved over to him, setting down on the desk. Tyra could tell he was showing off as he moved his hands about to pour himself a cup of coffee. "Would you care for some?" he asked.
"No," Tyra responded as MewTwo added cream and sugar, stirring it without even touching it.
"To answer your question, yes," MewTwo said as the cup levitated to his lips. "I'm sure you've heard of my previous exploits..."
"Buying teams you mean?" Tyra interrupted, "using hired muscle with little more ambition than to fill their pockets.
"Do you not fight in the underground for the same reason?" MewTwo asked.
"I fight to prove myself," Tyra said, "You should know more than any that it's the only way for someone like me to actually make any money."
"A destroyer is not fit in this world," MewTwo said, "paraphrased from yourself I believe." MewTwo smiled, "but to whom are you trying to prove yourself? Yourself? Or someone else."
Tyra scowled, clenching his fists, "It's none of your business."
"True, but that doesn't stop me from knowing it," MewTwo said with a smrik, a smirk Tyra wanted to wipe off of his face. "Whomever you wish to prove yourself to, it can be done much easier when your name is known through the regions."
"I plan on doing so of my own accord, I don't take hand outs," Tyra said.
MewTwo chuckled, "This is no handout," he said, "you will work hard for my assistance, it will be earned because you will bring me quite the pretty penny. You have great passion, when you fight you do so for your own reasons. People like that, they want to watch you triumph and they cry when you fall."
Tyra paused, he hated to admit that MewTwo was right. "Say I did agree, you surely must have a team already in mind."
"Aside from you and Elli, there is only one other in mind," MewTwo explained. "The others will come to us in time."
"Not quite your usual way of going about things," Tyra said. "A change of heart brought about by your recent failures."
Tyra seemed to have struck a nerve, "Something like that."
"And while we're on that topic, you have two Dark types so far, isn't that a little unbalanced."
"Type matters little to me," MewTwo responded, "are you in or out?"
Tyra sighed, "I guess you can count me in," He crossed his arms, not quite satisfied with their encounter but he couldn't deny the facts.
"Good," Mewtwo said, "Elli, you can come in now."
Tyra turned as the door opened and Elli stepped in. "We may not have a full team yet but we will need a base of operations."
"I'm sure you've got plenty of places stowed away," Tyra said.
"I do but I have a better place in mind," MewTwo said, "I was thinking Lavender Town."
Tyra was taken aback by the name, he may not have been in the city long but he knew that name.
"If you don't mind me asking, sir," Elli asked, "why Lavender town? It's all the way in Kanto and the place is abandoned, even after the cataclysm. Not even Ghost types go there."
"Exactly," Mewtwo said, "That place strikes fear into most hearts, this will prove to the public and our opponents that we have no fear."
"You can send me there," Elli said, "but I will not let my daughter set one foot there."
"Fine," MewTwo said, leaning back in his chair. "Mew will continue to look after her, if that is to your liking. Now that that's settled tomorrow we will be attending a gala held by one of my business partners aboard the S.S. Aqua, there we will pick up our third member. The daughter of our host."
"So who exactly is this person?" Tyra asked.
"You will see," MewTwo said, "Now I suggest you get some rest, we have a long day ahead of us."
"Good night," Elli said as she turned around and left the room, Tyra following.
"You really that scared of Lavender Town?" Tyra asked, "I mean I've heard the stories but I thought it was just stories people told their kids."
"There wouldn't be so many stories if none of them were true," She said as they found her daughter and Mew.
"I guess we'll find out," Tyra said.
