If you love someone enough, you would do anything for them..And, you would give up anything and everything just to see them happy..You would do anything it takes to keep them from experiencing pain..That is true love..

"Garth, you have some explaining to do.." I didn't know whether to tell Gau the truth, or make something up. But I couldn't lie to him. So, he'll have to know.
"Um..Gau..I love Valerie.." I didn't know how to put it in any other way but that. I couldn't exactly explain love.
"You really do? HA! I was right! I was RIGHT!"
"So...You don't have a problem with that?"
"No! Not at all! I think you two make a good couple!"
"Thanks, Gau.."
Just then, we heard some people running towards the room we were in. "Shit! I don't have my Pokéball! Garth! Hide!"
"What about Gau?"
"They won't be looking for him! It's you they're gonna want! Now go over there behind those boxes!" Valerie pointed to a stack of big boxes about six feet high. I got up, and ran behind the boxes as fast as I could. Right as I stepped behind the boxes, the people came in.
"Hey! Where's M2 34-7?!" I recognized the voice as Domino.
"I have no idea who or what you're talking about!" Valerie was liying, but she had to.
"You know WHAT I'm talking about.."
"No I don't. Now get out of here, BITCH!"
"You must be hiding something, if you want me to leave so soon.."
I heard one of the people load some sort of shot gun. "Stop lying, or I'll blow your brains out!!" I knew that had to be Lewis. I knew his temper anywhere.
Shit. I had to do something..I can't let Valerie get killed, just because of me. So, I did what I needed to do. I stepped out from behind the boxes. "I'm right here."
"GARTH! NO!"
"I won't let them hurt you."
Lewis turned and pointed his gun at me. "It's OVER for you, GENETIC DEFECT!"
Domino stopped him from pulling the trigger. "No! We want him alive.."
"He'd better suffer, BIG TIME." He still had his gun pointed to me.
"You can't hurt him!!" Valerie was just about to cry. I wish she didn't have to go through this. I don't want her to feel this way..
Lewis started to laugh insanely. "You CARE about GENETIC DEFECT?! I can't beleive it!"
"Is there a problem with caring about him? His name isn't Genetic Defect..It's Garth."
"He's not even worthy of a name! He's just a stupid Pokémon that was a big mistake!"
"Lewis, enough. Let's just take M2 34-7, and leave." I could tell Domino couldn't really tolerate Lewis' temper.
"What do I do with the others?"
"Take the Meowth to the PSC, and just leave Valerie here. She wouldn't try to rescue M2 34-7, now WOULD SHE?" Domino gave Valerie a nasty look as she said that.
"Alright.." Lewis took a Pokéball out of his pocket and pressed the button.
"NNNNOOOO-" Gau's cry was cut short by being sucked into the Pokéball.
"And just to make SURE she doesn't try to help Genetic Defect this time.." Lewis took a rope out of his pocket. "Hey you! Sit down right now!" He yelled, pointing his gun at Valerie.
"What the fuck are you doing?! You can't just tie me up like that!"
"Oh yes I can. I can do what I want. NOW SIT DOWN OR I'LL KILL YOU!" He held his gun up to Valerie's head. "Well, what are you gonna do?!" Too shocked to disobey, she sat down. Lewis started tying her up. "Hahahaha. You're gonna DIE. I never liked you, anyways!"
"I'd rather die than be here with YOU, you asshole!"
"Oh, I'd LOVE to see you die!"
Domino was getting very annoyed with Lewis. "Shut up! Let's go now!"
"Okay, okay!" He slammed me in the back with the end of his gun. "Let's go, Defect!"
"Knock him out, so he doesn't see where we're taking him."
"With pleasure!" Lewis took a tazer, and zapped me with it.
ZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!
The last thing I heard before going out was Valerie screaming "NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"..
*****
The next thing I knew, I was strapped to some sort of table/bed thing, in some weird darkish room. Giovanni was standing next to me. "Well, did you have a nice nap?"
"No..."
"Good. You weren't supposed to!"
"What the hell are you doing to me now?"
"Oh, I'm just punishing you for what you did to that armor I had made for you. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THAT COST?! Your LIFE isn't even worth that much!" He slammed me in the stomach with his fist as he said that. "Now, you're never going to wreck anything like that ever again.." He pulled some sort of syringe out of his pocket. "With this, you will never have the power to do anything like that again. You will be as powerless as a human, and you will never have to battle for me." He pulled another syringe out of his other pocket. "..But with THIS, you will have even more power, yet you will obey my every command without question. So, what's it gonna be?!"
"Why don't you just kill me and get it over with?" I really didn't want either. I didn't want to lose my powers, but I also didn't want to become Team Rocket's personal slave.
He smiled. "Because I'm not like that. I'd rather see you suffer. Well, let me know when you decide."
If I lose my powers, then I may not be able to talk anymore. But, if I become more powerful, I will become a total slave for Team Rocket. I don't know what to do. If I become Team Rocket's slave, they may make me forget about Valerie. I can't let them do that to me. I'll have to take the risk of losing my powers. "I..I have made my descision.." I knew I was doing the right thing by choosing this. "I will lose my powers."
"I was hoping you'd choose to gain more power, but as you wish.." He pulled one of the syringes out of his pocket, and stuck it in my arm. Then, for some reason I blacked out.
*****
I woke up still strapped the the table/bed, and Domino was standing next to me this time. "You're finally awake! So, you chose to lose your powers? Aww..Too bad. Now you're gonna be totally DEFENSELESS." She slapped me as she said that. "Poor little defensless Mewtwo..Ha! That just makes it even more fun to hurt you. I'm glad you're defenseless now. Stupid Pokémon.." She started running her fingers down the middle of my chest. "I never noticed this till now..But, you're kinda..sexy.." I was not comfortable with this at all.
"You sick BITCH!" Whoa. I could still talk.
"Don't you know that I was givcing you a compliment? Jeeze, you don't know anything.."
"Well, I don't want YOU thinking that way about me.."
"It's not like you can do anything about it..Damnit..I can't beleive I think a stupid Pokémon is sexy.." She pulled out a whip. "You won't be sexy when I'm through with you. I'm not gonna give you the pleasure of being unconsious while I do this, either.."
I closed my eyes, and waited for the pain to begin..
*****
After Domino whipped me, I must've blacked out, because I woke up in the Pokémon Storage Center. "Gau..? Are you..In here..?" I got no answer. I was alone, and in pain. Since I didn't have my powers, I couldn't attempt to use recover. I may as well just lay here and die..But, I can't..What about Valerie? I just recently told her I loved her. I can't just give in on life now..
