Ash found Mewtwo in a Cryotank, it's healing waters soothing his bruises and fatigue. He appeared to be sleeping peacefully and Ash made sure not to make too much noise.
"He's doing just fine." A voice behind him said. Ash turned to find a tall man with short brown hair and blue eyes standing next to him.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." he said holding his hand out. "My name is Norm."
Ash took it hesitantly and shook it, he still had no idea what was going on. He was still confused as the where he was. "I'm Ash."
"Yeah I know, you're the talk of the village." Norm said, trying to keep the excitement out of his voice.
"Why?"
"Well for one thing, you're the first human child any of the Omaticaya have seen before." Norm answered.
"Omati-what?"
"Omaticaya." Norm repeated, "That's the name of the village people that you met with. Well actually they're called the Na'vi, but this clan is the Omaticaya, it means the Blue Flute clan. Not to mention that technically there aren't supposed to be any Sky people left, well besides us scientists."
"What are Sky People?" Ash asked. He was getting more confused by the minute.
"That's what the Na'vi call the humans." Norm explained. "Let's just say that they don't have the best track record on Pandora."
"I'm guessing that's what this place is called." Ash said.
"Yeah. Anyways besides the fact that you're a human and a kid, they're also a little freaked out that you can breathe in the planet's atmosphere."
"Why would they be scared about that?" Ash asked.
"Because Pandora's atmosphere is really dangerous to human beings." Norm explained, "If we step outside without an airmask, we lose conciousness within the next minute of breathing it and if we don't get any air then we die from it."
"If it's so dangerous then why am I able to breathe in it?" Ash asked.
"That's what we're asking."
Before the conversation could go any further a loud beeping noise was emitting from the Cryotank Mewtwo was in.
"Looks like the healing process is all done." Norm said, "We can take him out once the water drains out. Guys! I need a hand here!"
Two more people in white lab coats came running in with a gurney as Norm pressed the combonation to release Mewtwo. Within minutes the water was drained and Mewtwo was slumped against the glass walls, the pressure was released and the lid had finally opened. Norm helped the men take Mewtwo out of the tank and laid him on the gurney.
Ash immediately ran to his side. "Mewtwo! Mewtwo are you alright!"
A man with a black afro and glasses pulled Ash away. "Step back, we don't want him startled."
Mewtwo's eyes began to flicker open, he winced at the bright light that was being held in his eyes. He suddenly became alert as he realized that he was surrounded by white lab coats.
"Stay away from me!" he suddenly roared. He released an energy shield that had thrown the surrounding scientists into the walls. Mewtwo looked around with a wild look in his eyes, searching for Ash, once he set sight on him, only to realize he was being held back by another labcoat. His eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Back away from him." Mewtwo snarled, fighting to keep his voice under control. "Now!"
Max immediatly released his hands from Ash's shoulders, and kept his hands in a surrendering gesture, "It's alright." he said, though Ash could tell he was intimidated by Mewtwo's ferocity. "See? I'm not hurting him."
"Mewtwo."
Ash's voice broke Mewtwo out of his stupor, he blinked and stared in Ash's direction again. Ash stood tall and firm.
"Mewtwo, it's okay." Ash said calmly, surprising most of the staff in the room. He sounded a lot more mature than most kids his age would. "It's fine. They're only trying to help us. They healed you, remember?"
Mewtwo was visibly relaxing as he listened to Ash's voice. As if he needed to hear it from Ash to completely relax. He quickly moved to Ash's side.
"Are you alright? Have they harmed you?" he asked,questions pouring out of him. "What of the blue creatures? What happened to them?"
"I'm fine, they didn't and they're outside." Ash said, answering all of Mewtwo's questions at once. "I don't really know what's going on here myself, but I know that they only attacked us out of self-defense. They were only protecting their village."
"Village?" Mewtwo raised an eyebrow. "What exactly are these creatures."
Ash was about to answer, but Norm interrupted, "I think it's best to save all the questions for the meeting."
"What meeting?" Ash turned to him in confusion. Mewtwo visibly tensed and stood closer to Ash.
"Jake wants to meet with you." Norm said, "So all of your questions can be answered at once. He's got a few of his own that he wants to ask you guys too."
Mewtwo immediately tensed and placed a hand on Ash's shoulder, discreetly pushing Ash behind him. "What business does he have with us?"
"Look, Jake's trying to make this as peaceful as possible." Norm explained. "A lot of the Omaticaya are uneasy about having a sky person here, especially since it's been a year since they've left."
"What do you mean left?" Ash asked.
"Just come with me and all of your questions will be answered." Norm said patiently holding out his hand.
Mewtwo looked at it in disgust, but looked back towards Ash anyway. Ash nodded.
"We should go." he said, "We need answers from them just as much as they need them from us."
Mewtwo lowered his arm in resignation, and followed Ash down the hallway.
Hopefully they got the answers they needed.
"What do you mean it's the First Teacher?" Aaron demanded.
He, Lance, and Jackie were at the forefront of the group. With Judy, May, Max, Brock and Pikachu standing right behind them. They all wanted answers to Ash's whereabouts. They're looks of surprise mirrored Aaron's
Mew sighed and floated away from her stretcher. "I mean just that Aaron. The Tree of Beginning more than just a tree, or even a rock formation. It's actually a host for the soul of the First Teacher."
Aaron was frozen, things were getting more and more confusing by the second. "I don't understand. How is that even possible. The First Teacher died long before our time. How can this possibly be true?"
"Is it really so far-fetched?" Mew asked. "Aaron, you as well as the kingdom of Cameron easily accepted that the there was more to the Tree than meets the eye. Not to mention the discovery Ash and his friends made, the first time they were there. They realized that despited the fact that the Treew as a formation of rocks, it was in fact a living entity."
"But...to have a soul?" Lance said, "I don't understand how this can be."
Mew sighed, and floated towards the center of the room, "I suppose I need to start from the beginning."
(Flashback)
The First Teacher was sitting crosslegged at the top of the highest mountain. His eyes were closed in concentration, but that didn't mean he wasn't aware of everything that surrounded him.
"Hello Mew." he said, his eyes still closed.
"Hello." Mew said, she tentatively came closer.
"You know why I came here."
"Yes, I do." Mew said, "and I came here to stop you."
The First Teacher smiled in mirth.
"Please." Mew begged. "Don't do this. Don't give up on life, the Guardians are only just beginning. You've been there for them since the beginning, you've taught them, you've guided them. You can't leave them now."
"I am not giving up." The First Teacher said calmly. "I have simply accepted that it is my time to pass on."
"But why?" Mewtwo cried, tears threatening to fall out. "The Guardians still need you! Cameron still needs you! I...need you."
The First Teacher said nothing. Then after a long moment he spoke. "Little One. Please do not feel sorrow for me. For Death is not an end, merely a new beginning. You must understand, that I have enjoyed my time on this world. I have enjoyed making my new friends, and passing on my knowledge and skills to another generation. I have lived a very blessed life, but now it is time for me to go."
Mew's eyes were shut tightly, finally released her tears. "You were the first friend I ever had. You helped me learn to trust humans, and now you're leaving us."
"Little One." The First Teacher held out a hand. "Come."
Mew did as she was told, and the First Teacher placed a hand on her head. "Do not shed tears for me. I have had the privelage to live a most wonder life, and I am happy that I was able to make new friends and call Earth my home. Please understand that while I may not be hear in body, please know that after I take this next step in my life, I will be watching over you as well as the Guardians and Cameron."
"How?" Mew asked helplessly.
The First Teacher only smiled. "You will understand soon enough, and know that you and I will always have a special bond that can never be broken. But I ask of one favor of you."
"What is it?" Mew asked.
"Promise you will not tell my students of my transgresion." he asked, "I know that this will be difficult for them, but I have given them everything they will need to know, and the time has come for them to make their own decisions, and in order to do that, they must never know that I exist within what I am about to create."
"But-
He held up a finger, "Have faith little one. For my students will become the first of many generations to come. Their strength, and courage will be passed on and their teachings will always keep my memory alive. Please tell them that for me."
Mew slowly nodded.
The First Teacher smiled. "Thank you old friend, now I can leave in peace. Do not mourn for me. I will be with you always."
He took his hand from her, and placed it on his knee. He closed his eyes once again, and a faint blue glow could be seen from him. Mew shielded her eyes, and instinctively backed away.
She then realized that the mountain was changing, many of the large boulder were shifting, and soem were floating in the air. Mew quickly floated away, and made sure she was high up to get a better view of the happening. Her eyes widened as she realized what he was doing.
He was becoming one with the mountain, and with that process, he created a new being all-together.
"I will be with you always."
His last words echoed in her ears, and this time tears of sadness and joy fell from cheeks.
'I understand.' She thought.
A tree was born from the rocks, and she knew that the Tree was another host for her friend's spirit. She could feel his essence from the tree, and she realized that as long as this Tree stood tall Cameron would always have a silent guardian."
"I suppose it's time for me to inform the others of his passing." She thought to herself again.
She looked back at the tree one last time and smiled.
