I do not own anything in this story other than the plot.

Sorry this took so long, I hate having more than two papers assigned at a time. And just so you all know this is thought, this is normal dialogue, and this is daydream. Enjoy and don't forget to review.

Problems

Deoxys was glad that he had gone with the lake spirits for a few reasons. One of which was that he really was worried about them having to deal with whatever technology that the humans had come up with. The other reason was that they didn't say much, compared to Mew the three were practically angels in his mind. He looked around at the island they were standing on. It was almost barren except for a large cave in the center of the island. Azelf floated over to the entrance and scanned the cave with his psychic powers.

"I don't sense anyone… outside of a very large sleeping golem." He said after a while.

"Good, I really don't feel like dealing with some annoying humans right now." Deoxys nodded.

"Then let's go." Uxie said while joining his brother at the entrance of the cave. The four Pokémon took one last look before stepping in. The three lake guardians were used to seeing in dark caves. Deoxys, however, was not. He quickly cracked his head against a low hanging stalactite.

"Oh Arceus that hurt." Deoxys swore. Mesprit giggled and floated back to the virus legendary.

"Come on, we'll get left behind." She said while wrapping her tails around one of Deoxys' arms. Deoxys grumbled as he was pulled along, and kept away from stalactites. None of the Pokémon noticed the red eyes that watched them from the shadows. The eyes glinted with malice… their territory had been invaded. The interlopers would pay, they would pay dearly indeed.

…

Mew had been unusually quiet. While most of the legendaries would have seen this as a blessing and might have even praised Arceus for allowing them a few moments of peace and quiet the silence was driving Celebi crazy. He had attempted to start a conversation between himself and Mew. The only problem was that the conversations only happened in his head. He had never been brave enough to talk to Mew without good reason. He was dying to talk to her, about anything. He just couldn't get anything out of his mouth. Finally he turned to say something.

"Um… nice weather… isn't it?" He said. Mew looked at him strangely before shrugging.

"I guess." She admitted before looking away again.

Darn it! Was that really the best I could come up with? Celebi admonished himself. Look at yourself; you can control time for Arceus' sake! How can you have a hard time talking to a girl that you… Celebi stopped himself. Even though he knew that Mew would not probe his mind without his permission that didn't mean that he wasn't weary of thinking the treacherous words that he longed to say. He could only imagine how it would go.

"Mew"… he would say… "I love you more than the very forest that I protect, more than time itself, will you be my mate?"

"Oh Celebi! I thought that you would never ask!" She would respond while throwing herself at him. They would move to Ilex forest and live out the rest of time in happiness. Who knows… they might even have kids. Celebi's happy daydreaming was cut short by a rather large tree that he floated into. Mew looked around at the sound of groaning. She saw Celebi laying flat on his back and rubbing his nose.

"Ow… that hurt." He grumbled as he picked himself up.

"What happened?" Mew asked. "Did the tree attack you?" She said with a teasing smile.

"Uh… no… I… uh…" Celebi stumbled over his words. Oh Arceus, why is she so cute when she smiles? Mew giggled and helped him up.

"Well, we had better get going if we want to make it to the cave by nightfall." Mew said. Celebi nodded and resumed floating next to her. They continued like this for an hour, Mew was quiet and Celebi was too embarrassed to say anything. Finally Mew broke the silence. "How do you think Mewtwo is doing right now?" She asked.

"I… I bet he… he's fine." Celebi stuttered.

"Why do you do that?" Mew asked.

"Do what?" Celebi asked. Oh Arceus she hates something about me! He thought to himself.

"Stutter."

"Oh… I… I don't know." Celebi stuttered. "If… if it annoys you I… I can stop." Mew laughed at him.

"No, no. I think it's kind of cute. I just wondered why you did it is all." She grinned and continued flying. Celebi thought like he would faint.

"Cute… she thinks I'm cute." He said with a silly smile on his face. He shook himself out and sped to catch up with her. They were approaching the cave with Regirock. Mew looked over the last hill and gasped. She shot behind a tree and gestured for Celebi to join her. Celebi flew over and looked past the tree to see what had worried Mew. There was a large human encampment in front of the cave. The two small legendaries looked at each other, their job just got harder.

…

Mewtwo woke up strapped to a strange device. It was shaped like an X and had straps on it that bound his hands and feet. Even his tail was tied down. There was also something digging into his chest. He bent his head down to look at it and saw that it was an electronic device. Why would something like that be on him? In a rush everything that had happened came back to him. The humans that he couldn't sense, being captured, how they forced something from a needle into his skin and then… blackness. Panicked, Mewtwo tried to give the room he was in a quick mental scan… and found he couldn't. He tried again, this time he felt a tiny shock from the device on his chest. It had to be inhibiting his psychic powers somehow. For the first time in his life Mewtwo felt worried. He couldn't even move, if he was to be attacked now he would be utterly helpless. Suddenly a door opened on the wall of the room and a human walked in. Mewtwo watched it wearily. He could see that it was a female. She was dressed in a black suit and her auburn hair was done up in a bun. She was slightly shorter than the clone so she had to look up to look him in the face.

"Well, we certainty haven't seen your kind of Pokémon before." She said while giving him a look. "Can you understand me?" She asked. Mewtwo was silent. "It is pointless to pretend that you cannot at least read my mind. We already know you to be a psychic." She stated. "I will ask once again… what are you?"

I am Mewtwo. Mewtwo responded through telepathy. And you, mortal, have made a very bad decision.

"Ah… so you can talk, good." The woman smiled. "It is so much easier to interrogate the enemy if they understand you."

What do you want from me human? Mewtwo asked. I know little to nothing about your kind.

"Ah, but you obviously know a lot about your kind." The woman said. "And that is what I need. I need to know where the Pokémon are gathering, how many of them there are, and who the leaders of this little resistance are."

Ha… you really don't get it, do you? I don't know anything! Mewtwo snorted. I've been in a cave for the past thousand years. I literally have no idea what is going on.

"Hmm, too bad, I really don't like torturing my prisoners… but, one must keep up the public image." The woman said while walking towards the door.

You, torture me? Mewtwo scoffed. Woman, do you have any idea what I have been through… do you even know who I am? There is nothing you can do that would even begin to break me. I am Mewtwo, I am the strongest. The woman turned around right before closing the door and looked the Pokémon deep in the eyes. She saw determination in his eyes… and… sadness.

"Well, everyone has a breaking limit." She shrugged. "Let's find out what yours is." With that she closed the door.

…

Liliana breathed a sigh of relief as she entered the control room above the chamber. Little did Mewtwo know that he was being observed through several mini cameras that were placed in the chamber. Liliana nodded to a tech and looked out as he started preparing the torture machine. She could practically feel Mewtwo's arrogance and pride from her seat. It helped that she was a fairly talented psychic herself. Although her abilities were limited to feeling emotions it was still better than most humans would ever achieve. She forced her body language to remain neutral as the torture began. She had learned long ago to put up her strongest walls during the torture sessions. It was better for her not to know what the Pokémon was feeling.

…

Mewtwo almost felt like laughing at the idea that a little human girl could break him. She looked as if she was barely twenty five, if even that. He had survived Mew's unending chatter for Arceus' sake, what could that little human ever hope to do to him. Suddenly the room grew dark. In spite of himself Mewtwo began to feel a little apprehensive. Red eyes began to glow from the darkness. Mewtwo's eyes began to get used to the little light and saw that he was surrounded. Mewtwo said the name of the Pokémon grinning at him as if it was a curse word.

"Houndoom." He spat out. There were about three of them, possibly more behind him. Mewtwo really began to get worried now. He was normally useless against dark type Pokémon anyway. But now, he couldn't even defend himself physically. Still, Mewtwo thought to himself. There's a pretty good chance that this is just some sort of an illusion anyway. After all, I didn't see how they got in here. I'd say that they think that they can trick me into… Mewtwo's train of thought stopped as he felt a sharp pain in his tail. He looked down and saw that one of the Houndoom had bitten it. Oh… Arceus… they're real! It was then that Mewtwo did something he had never done before… he panicked.

…

Liliana could still pick up faint emotions from the strange Pokémon. He was in a panic now because he had realized just how helpless he was. In reality he was completely fine. The Houndoom were holograms, they couldn't have hurt a fly. But, when combined with a machine that transmitted pain into the receptors of the brain it was really easy to believe that you were actually being attacked. It helped that the psychic wouldn't be able to sense a real Houndoom with his psychic powers, even at full strength. Liliana was impressed. This had to be an exceptionally strong psychic for her to still be feeling his pain. She had practiced for years to be able to throw up the walls she had in place around her mind. She squirmed slightly as the Houndoom "bit" the psychic's tail. Why was this part always so hard for her? Pokémon were then enemy, she should hate them with all of her heart. But, no matter how hard she tried there was always a small part of her that felt like crying as she tortured her prisoners. The torture had picked up with several of the holograms digging their "fangs" into various parts of the psychics' body and beginning to "tear" at him. Liliana could feel rather than hear the strange Pokémon screech in pain and fear. She couldn't take it anymore.

"Keep me updated." She said to one of the tech assistants who ran the machine as she walked out of the room and down the hallway. Once she got out of range of her mental abilities she leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. Maintaining mental walls was hard enough under normal circumstances, but this was unbearable. She felt someone coming and quickly straitened herself up. It wouldn't do any good for someone to see the daughter of the famed General Maroon acting as if she was a pushover. The soldier who came around the corner made Liliana inwardly groan, it was Lieutenant Commander Nicholson.

"Liliana… what are you doing away from your post? Could it be that you couldn't wait until after you were done torturing that sinister Pokémon to see me?" He asked with a flash of his perfect teeth. Liliana despised him. He thought of himself as a ladies' man, and to an extent he was, he was just incapable of realizing that Liliana did not want anything to do with him. Still, he was an upcoming soldier in the army and a personal favorite of her father. So Liliana put on a fake smile as she answered.

"No, nothing of the sort, I merely came out to think." She said. "This one is proving harder to crack than I had originally thought."

"Well, far be it from me to leave a damsel in distress." He smiled back. "I think I have just what you need." Liliana's forced smile dropped a centimeter. Whatever Nicholson had planned, it was not going to be good.

…

Mewtwo gasped as pain wracked his body. He had never felt like this before, the agony. He kept telling himself that he could take it… that it was only a matter of time before the humans gave up. But in his heart he knew that was not true. He could feel his resolve slowly weakening. And he knew that if the humans got bored with him they would most likely kill him. Suddenly the lights turned on and the bindings on his arms and legs were dropped. Mewtwo fell to the ground and panted. He looked around wearily and saw that he was out of danger. The Houndoom were gone, and his body was unscarred, despite the fact that he had definitely felt pain a moment ago. The silence only made him more apprehensive. What were the humans doing?

…

"What are you doing?" Liliana asked. "Why did you stop the interrogation session?"

"Because you were taking too long with it." Nicholson said as he nodded to one of his men who was carrying a large sack.

"Taking too long? He was barely in there for ten minutes?" Liliana said testily.

"Trust me… these things only understand one thing… brutality." He said with a grin.

"What are you going to do… you know that you cannot harm the subject until we know for sure that he knows nothing." Liliana said.

"Oh, don't worry, I won't be harming HIM." The Lieutenant Commander grinned as he grabbed the sack and headed for the door to the chamber.

…

Mewtwo looked up as the door opened. He saw a man in army uniform walk in holding two things, a sack and a gun. Mewtwo stood and moved to punch the man. As much as he hated physical combat he really didn't have much choice at the time. He was easily repelled in his weakened state and was kicked into the opposite wall. The man scoffed and walked over to the fallen psychic.

"Really, this is the best you've got? You're hopeless without your powers aren't you?" He laughed as he kicked Mewtwo again for good measure.

…

Up in the control room two soldiers were holding Liliana back as she tried to go in and stop Nicholson.

"We did not agree to this!" She yelled in anger. "All interrogations are MINE to do!" Back in the room Mewtwo sat himself up so that he could glare at the human.

…

Do your worse! Even if I did know anything I wouldn't tell you! Mewtwo said defiantly. The human laughed.

"You psychics make me laugh. You think that you're better than all the rest, but there are always two ways to break you. One is physical pain… the other is emotional." With that he dumped the bag on the ground. Mewtwo stared at the Pokémon that fell out, it was an Abra. The small Pokémon was bruised and one of its legs was bent at an odd angle, almost as if it had been broken and then healed wrong. Mewtwo was shocked; the Abra couldn't have been more than a month old, two months max. It whimpered and scooted itself away from the human. He allowed it to go a foot before he brought his boot down on its tail. The Abra squeaked in pain and a few tears fell down its face. Mewtwo's eyes hardened in rage.

…

"Where did he get that Abra?" Liliana demanded as she continued to try to break lose. "That was not registered with me. All Pokémon that enter the base have to be checked out be me or one of my staff! Let me go you idiots!" She yelled at the men holding her.

"I'm sorry miss, we have our orders." One of them stated in a matter of fact voice. Liliana watched helplessly as the Lieutenant Commander pointed the gun at the little Abra's head.

…

A lone Staraptor flew over the base in Pallet Town. It clutched a small container in its claws. Without a second's glace he dropped it in the base and flew away as fast as he could. He didn't want to be anywhere close when weapon zero was let lose.

…

The human pointed the gun at the Abra.

"It's simple really, you tell me what I want to know, or the Pokémon dies." He stated. Mewtwo felt a feeling of helplessness fill him as he realized the situation. He had no information and was unable to fight back without his powers.

Look, I told you…I know nothing! He yelled into the human's head.

"Wrong answer." With that the human pulled the trigger. There was an explosion of sound as the gun fired.

…

"Did he just…." Liliana asked in shock. It was in that moment all of her mental walls were dropped. She was filled with an uncontrollable rage.

…

Mewtwo screamed in rage. His eyes glazed over red and he forced himself into a standing position. The crumpled body of the Abra lay quiet on the ground. Its scales stained with its own blood. It was then that the floodgate of emotions that Mewtwo had not allowed himself to feel broke open. His rage was so great that he actually levitated himself. The psychic inhibitor sparked once and then fell off of him, it was not meant to deal with this kind of power. For possibly the first time in all history two minds cried out in rage and sadness at the exact same time in the exact same way. Most psychics don't have a problem if this happens, they have mental shields up that would protect them. However, neither Liliana nor Mewtwo had any shielding up. Mewtwo slammed the Lieutenant Commander against the wall with a psychic blast. He then bent down to pick up the small Abra, almost as if to admit to himself that the Pokémon was dead. Mewtwo was both crying and yelling at the same time. Every human in the base heard his telepathic scream.

You're all dead! Do you hear me? The entire human race is DEAD! With that Mewtwo teleported out of the base. Had anyone been paying attention they would have noticed that Liliana was gone as well, but they suddenly had a bigger problem.

…

When the small canister that the Staraptor had dropped hit the ground it landed next to a large generator. The canister opened with a hiss and a small pair of eyes peeked out. Without a second's hesitation it jumped into the generator. Had anyone been close they might have heard a giggle as it did so.

…

One of the techs looked at his screen in surprise as a small face appeared on it.

"Lieutenant Commander, you might want to see this!" He said. Nicholson walked over and looked down at the face and the small words that were appearing underneath it. He was angry at losing the prisoner and was seriously considering shooting anyone and everyone who had seen it happen. He read the words and snorted.

"What is this, a computer virus? All it says is 'can I play now?' What is that supposed to mean?"

"I don't know sir." The tech said. "How should I answer it?"

"Say no." Nicholson shrugged. The tech typed in the answer and pressed enter. The little orange face became angry. The words changed and Nicolson read them again. "Rotom WANT to play. What in the name of Darkrai is a Rotom?" He asked. He never got his answer, mostly because every electronic device in the entire camp went haywire. Auto turrets began firing on their own soldiers, generators and batteries exploded, the anti-fire sprinkler system began filling rooms with flame-depressant foam. In seconds the entire camp was in a panic as the ammo reserves blew half the base to kingdom come. The little orange face changed to have a childish grin as a final message was written out before the screen went blank.

"Rotom likes to play."

And so we introduce weapon zero. Bet that none of you expected it to be Rotom (he's a gen 4 pseud-legendary just in case you didn't know). It does make sense though. In a world of technology a Pokemon who can possess electronics could cause a LOT of damage. Don't forget to review.
