Sorry this took so long to post, I ended up changing my mind about what I wanted this chapter to be like 3 times, and as a result already have chapter 7 done and the first chapter of book 2 almost done.
This book still has several more chaps to go though first ^_^ I played SSBM yesterday with a friend, a certain Luke really dominated for a while ^_^
Chapter 6 Questions and Answers
Lori
We weren't sure of what we were going to do with Luke just yet, but we really didn't want to be seen ourselves and Luke, being a Mewtwo, stuck out like a sore thumb. We finally decided that we'd have to decide what to do long-term later and that for now we just needed to get him out of public areas. The closest place was Trisha's house. Her parents had adjusted easily to our changes in the first place, so bringing a Mewtwo into the house wasn't likely to bother them much.
"Josh... I just though of something." Trisha said. She stopped walking and turned around.
"What?" He asked.
"That man, Trouble, used a very small piece of a morph stone and water and look what he was able to do with Luke." She said, gesturing to the confused looking Mewtwo. He was still fingering his muzzle and occasionally rubbing his throat.
"Yeah?" Josh said questioningly.
"What if... What if he taints the water supply to the town?"
"We won't be all alone anymore!" I said cheerfully.
"Lori!" Josh snapped.
"What?!" I asked. What was his problem?
"As much as we might be enjoying this, some people wouldn't. This `Agent Trouble' is bad news. We need to find out more about him.
"Hmmph, well I think he's just a loser!" I folded my arms across my chest and smirked at Josh. "What do you think Laura?" I asked, elbowing the Dragonite girl standing next to me. She was kinda zoned at the time, probably rehashing the fight.
"Yoo-hoo! Laura?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry. I was just thinking."
"Actually, it might be best if you get back to your house Laura. Your parents are already going to freak out, we don't want them any madder than they already are. They might do something foolish, like contacting the media." Josh advised.
"But Josh! They won't treat her right!" Trisha protested.
"Yes, but we're not ready to handle the media. You understand, don't you Laura?"
Laura nodded sadly and rose into the air. I agreed with Trisha, but Laura and Josh are both pretty smart, so I didn't press it any further.
We all started off to Trisha's house again, but now noone felt like talking. Grant and Josh held the unsturdy Mewtwo up by his shoulders. Luke kept rubbing his throat until Grant finally said something.
"Why is he doing that?!" Grant almost shouted. He'd been watching Luke rub his throat for almost twenty minutes. The rubbing motion looked like it had to be very uncomfortable, but Luke didn't look like he was in any pain. Although watching it was enough to make your own throat feel weird.
"I dunno, does it hurt?" Trisha asked him. He shook his head `no.'
"Well duh!" I shouted. "Don't you think your throat would itch if your vocal chords just dissolved?!"
"What?" Trisha asked, giving me a questioning look.
"Yeah, Mewtwos don't have vocal chords" I said proudly, it wasn't very often that I knew something Trisha didn't.
"You're kidding!"
"Nope, read it in a book!"
"You did research?!"
"Yep!"
"Why?"
"I forgot" I shrugged, trying to think of why I had studied up on Mewtwo's anyway. I couldn't remember, so I just let it go. Normally it would've taken us only another ten minutes to get to Trisha's house, but we were only moving at the speed of a tired Mewtwo that barely knew how to walk, so it took almost twenty minutes to get there. Fortunately for us, Trisha's family was home and were able to help with Luke. As soon as we got there, Trisha's mom got some sheets and laid them out on the gameroom floor upstairs while her dad gave Luke a quick health exam. By the time we'd gotten him from the park to Trisha's house and then up the stairs, the poor little guy was exhausted. He was breathing heavily and putting most of his weight on Grant and Josh's shoulders. He laid down on the pile of blankets and fell asleep almost immediately. Trisha started telling her dad about the man and the three morphs we met by the pond. I wasn't really interested, so I didn't pay much attention
to them and instead watched the sleeping pokemon in front of me. I sat down next to him and kind of zoned out until Grant tapped me on the shoulder.
"Huh? What's goin on?" I asked him.
"Trisha's dad said the three morphs in the park match the description of three of the four morphs he met when he went up North."
"Really!?"
"Yes really Lori," Trisha's dad answered me. "The three morphs you told me about match the decription of three of the morphs that vanished up north. I wonder what happened to the fourth one..."
"We'll work on that later, first we gotta figure out what to do with him." Trisha cut her father off and motioned to the sleeping Mewtwo.
Luke was out cold for almost three days. When he finally did wake up we took him to our little island getaway and set up a place for him to sleep in the cave where we found the morph stone. It wasn't really a cave as its roof was about five up and it was only about twelve feet long, so it was more like a cavern or an alcove. We ended up blowing the whole summer on the island. I kept buggin Josh about it. I really wanted to go see the new movie, but he just babbled on about the "public eye" and yada yada yada. It wasn't so bad really, I got to help Trisha teach Luke how to walk right and float and stuff because I knew so much about Mewtwos. We didn't hear from Laura all summer. Grant said that she was really grounded. He said that her entire bedroom wall had been covered with a big steel panel. I guess that means Laura had to blow her wall off to come help us. Go Laura! She usually isn't that aggressive, but I guess when your friends are in trouble, timidness is a feeble
barrier.
