MEW2 STRIKES BACK

Episode1:Beginnings

Tom Bathll looked down at his watch, where the Pidgey was pointing to the 11, and the Charmander was pointing at the 12.
"5 minutes to go!!"he exclaimed, startling people behind him. His friend turned round and told him to shut up(in a kind way). There was a silence for a second, and then a hmm from his friend, Peter Jenv.
"What?" Tom asked.
"What Pokemon to pick," Peter said, looking down at the sheet of paper in his hand. Tom looked down at his own piece of paper. There was 7 boxes there, each featuring a different Pokemon that he could get from Prof Elm up ahead. Prof Elm was a renowned Pokemon Expert, and he had captured many Pokemon in his 'glory days'. Now he studied them and asked people to go on a 'mission' to discover all they could about the 'new' Pokemon that were discovered after the ledgendary Pokemon Heroes, Ash and Gary went on a quest for Prof Oak (another Pokemon resercher), and came back with all 146 Pokemon. Ash even had an encounter with the ledgendary Pokemon Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Lugia, Ho-oh, Entei and Suicune!
Gary saw and fought against Mewtwo, the most powerful Pokemon of all! (but lost)
Prof Elm was obsessed with the two most elusive Pokemon of all, Mewtwo and Mew, and his greatest dream was one of his students to come back with those two Pokemon.
Ash and Gary were Tom's heroes, and he hoped that he could encounter them, even battle them one day!!
Tom stopped daydreaming and looked down at his sheet of paper. the Pokemon there were Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Pidgey.
Which one to choose? Tom looked up for a second. Peter was smiling, so he had obviously chosen his already.
Well, it's going to be one of the new ones, coz the Prof isn't intersested in the old ones, he thought. That narrowed it down to Chikorita, Totodile, and Cyndaquil. He didn't want to make any enemies either. All his friends wanted one of those, and he didn't want to hurt their feelings.. He was ahead of them, so he would get the Pokemon first. Except from Peter... He did not know what Pokemon Peter would choose, so he needed a backup. He decided on Charmander, because it would evolve into the powerful Charizard, and he would not hurt anyone's feelings.
"Well?"He looked up. While he was thinking, he had arrived at the top of the queue. A friendly man with spiky hair was standing in front of him. 4 Pokeballs were left in front of him.
"Err, Charmander please!"he asked. Proffessor Elm smiled kindly.
"I'm sorry, but that was already taken by Peter!", he said. OK then, Tom thought. I'll go with my second choice.
"Bulbasaur?"He asked. He knew what was coming.
"I'm sorry, Bulbasaur has already been taken. The Pokemon that are left are Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile and Pidgey."
"What???"he exclaimed. Someone behind him cleared their throat loudly.
"Fine then. Pidgey."Tom said sadly.
"There you go," said Professor Elm. He handed Tom a Pokeball with Pidgey inside, a Pokedex, 5 empty Pokeballs, and a Pokegear with mobile phone, map and radio.
"Remember to call me so I can see how you are doing!!!"Prof Elm called, and waved Tom goodbye. Everyone cheered as Tom walked out of the gates, scuffling his feet. Peter jumped out at him.
"Hey, how about we have a battle? Were rivals now ,not friends, so if you lose, I'll be off like a flash, k?"he said.
"No, not now. My Pokemon isn't strong enough.", Tom said sadly, and walked away. But, before he had taken a few steps, he heard Peter speak again in a cold voice.
"You don't have a choice. Go, Charmander!" Tom realised he had to throw out his Pidgey, or Peter would use his Pokemon to hurt him!
Tom threw his Pokeball.
"Good", Peter said.
"Charmander, ember!" Tom didn't have a chance to tell his Pidgey to do anything, and the flames slammed Pidgey into a tree. He had fainted already. Peter just laughed, and ran off into the distance. A crack of lighting split the sky in two, and it began to rain very hard. Tom scooped his fallen Pokemon into his arms, and turned to face the gates. They were locked. Tom had to go to the nearest Pokemon Centre in Cherrygrove City ,which was a couple of miles away in this terrible storm. And there was no Pokemon to help him if something went wrong on the way...
