Chapter 20 - Hall of Legendaries, Jeremy's Visit
Jeremy and Mew finally came to the dining hall. They decided to sit with Rotom (to his eternal delight), Registeel, Darkrai, Shaymin, Groudon, and Kyogre, who had decided to make friends with Jeremy. They had delicious dinners, which consisted of lab-grown meat, vegetables, and other foods arranged into the person's favorite foods. Shaymin was eating all meat, which surprised Jeremy. "Hey Shaymin, shouldn't you be eating plants or something?" Shaymin laughed. "That's a common misconception. See, I am technically a plant, so eating one to me is like cannibalism to you." Jeremy nodded, understanding. Suddenly, Rotom's plate of electronics was pushed into his face, and the legendaries at the other end of the table snickered. They tease him because they don't consider him a legendary. This got Jeremy mad, and he concentrated his own psychic powers. Mewtwo's plate was pushed up into his own face, and to his horror, words began to form on his skin. They were endlessly repeating "I like to bully small Pokemon" and he leapt from his seat, running to the bathroom to try and wash them off. Jeremy's end of the table laughed, causing the other end to look away and act innocent. Arceus seemed to not notice the entire conflict. Mewtwo finally came back out, but he had been unable to wash one of the sentences off the top of his forehead. He looked a little embarrassed, and words on his arm started forming again. This time, they said "Are you sorry? Then say so." Mewtwo concentrated, and the food on Rotom's plate turned into words saying "I am sorry. Please forgive me. -Mewtwo" Rotom looked at Jeremy, grinned, and nodded. The words on Mewtwo's arm and forehead vanished, to be replaced by "Thank you. Do not do it again." Mewtwo nodded ashamedly. Jeremy and Rotom fist-pounded, sort of (Rotom had lightning for arms, so it was hard), and returned to their respective meals. Jeremy's was a cheeseburger, fries and pizza with a milkshake, while Rotom's was various hardware circuitry, shaped as different foods. The meal ended, and the dirty plates were taken away by an invisible entity into the kitchen. Jeremy went to the bathroom to wash his hands and face, and when he was finished, walked out to nearly bump into Mewtwo, standing there with an almost apologetic look on his face. He said, How did you get so powerful? Most humans can't do that much in terms of psychic ability. Jeremy shrugged. "If I had any idea, I'd tell you."
Mewtwo was about to question further when a rock hit him in the back. Jeremy looked to see who it was, and it was Regirock. He beeped and whirred, and it roughly translated to "I hate you. Get out." With that, he left. Jeremy helped Mewtwo up, and asked "What was that all about?" Mewtwo hung his head before answering, Most legendaries hate me. "Why?" was all Jeremy said. Because I was not meant to exist, he said. I was created by humans, and only got here because of my achievements. But despite all I have done, these natural-born Pokemon still hate me. Jeremy thought for a while before replying, "You have just as much right to be here as anyone else. Look at Rotom. He went through the same situation you did, and came out on top. How?" By associating with you, the human celebrity? Mewtwo's voice was full of sarcasm. "That, and he had confidence in himself. If there's one thing I've learned from my time in school, it's that you have to believe in yourself or you'll automatically be a target. That, and anyone else won't think of touching one of my friends." You consider me a...friend? Mewtwo looked up, his eyes full of wonder. Jeremy smiled and said, "Of course. I would like to be everyone's friend here." That makes you a wise human, Mewtwo said. The two walked down the hall, where Jeremy spotted the four Regi's advancing toward them. Mewtwo was about to make a psychic shield when Jeremy stopped him. "I'll handle this," he said. He got in front of Mewtwo, and simply stood there. Regigigas beeped. "Out of the way, Jeremy. We don't want to hurt anyone but the scum behind you. "Scum? Why is he called that?" replied Jeremy innocently. Regice spoke up, clicking and whistling. "He was created from humans." Jeremy took an angry stance and said, "I find that highly offensive, unjust, and immoral, as well as racist." He then walked on with Mewtwo, leaving the Regi's stunned. Jeremy looked back at them and called, "Get better reasons for why he shouldn't exist, and then dare to say it to me. I look upon you as friends...for now." He and Mewtwo walked away. Mewtwo looked at him and said, You rendered them helpless without touching them. How did you do that? Jeremy grinned, and said "Logic. Soon, they will want to be friends with me again, and they will see that the only way to do that is to forgive you. The same will follow with all the others."
