S2 Chapter 6 Daylight Come and Me Wanna Go Home






Ash was reluctantly packing up his bag. "Let me get this straight. I can't compete in the Pokémon League anymore, and *you're* going to Teleport us to the Seafoam Islands where someone's supposedly waiting for us. And all this is because of some evil voice that you heard in your head that could very well be a Drowzee playing a practical joke."

Needless to say, he was rather angry.

And I was rather exasperated. "It was *not* a Drowzee. I can swear by it. No mere Drowzee could be this malevolent."

"If you say so," Ash mumbled. I gave him an annoyed look.

Brock moved closer to me, and whispered, "Sorry, Ash is just disappointed that he can't compete in the League again this year. Gary's been getting closer and closer to becoming a Pokémon League Champion, so Ash feels like he's falling behind."

I know, I sent to him alone. It's just that he doesn't realize how serious this all is...But he will soon enough.

"Okay," Ash said loudly. "I'm ready."

"So am I," Misty chimed in. Togetic grumbled something about how he'd rather take a nap, and the three birds were spitting sparks, flames, and ice chunks at each other passionately.

Pikachu sighed, and hopped onto his trainer's shoulder. "Pikachu pi?"
[Can we go now?]

I nodded, and, with a little concentration on my part, we were at the Seafoam Islands in a flash.

The spot we were in was secluded, and ahead of us stretched miles and miles of ocean.

"Zapdos zapdo?" the electric bird asked.
[What now?]

I'm sure- I was cut off as a gentle-appearing Dragonite landed softly in front of us. It purrled something incoherent, and I looked at the others and shrugged. I guess we're supposed to follow it.

So Ash climbed on a reluctant Zapdos with Pikachu, Brock on an angry Moltres, and Misty on a perturbed Articuno.

After a short flight following the dragon, the three birds and their burdens, as well as Togetic, landed down on our destination. Ziggy and I didn't touch the ground, of course. We merely hovered at a comfortable height above it. The Dragonite made a reassuring noise, and lead us into an ominous building that just happened to be on this particular island.

It brought us to a door that it stopped in front of, and then mysteriously disappeared. I glanced around myself to see where it had gone -anything to keep my mind off of the dreaded Pokémon that I was surely to meet soon- but the door opened with a loud creek, and we went inside the room.

The sight that greeted us was a large gym layout (what did I expect?). I was now beginning to think that every freaking human in the world had at least one Pokémon gym that they could call theirs...

I didn't see a Pokémon, but I did see a sole human.

A human that I dreaded.

A human that I despised.

A human that was looking at me and laughing in a sick way that made me feel that he knew something very important that I didn't...Something that would be the end of me.

"So. You came. I knew you would. My indispensable Pokémon made sure of that." Seeing the blank look on the three trainer's faces -as well as my other Pokémon companions- he explained further, "Oh yes. I don't believe you've met my newest creation."

A Pokémon was floating towards us from the shadows. Giovanni introduced us, "Meet...Mewtwo."

The Pokémon was finally in the light, and I got a good look at him. He was taller than I, and white and purple.

I won't be modest; I'm what you would call a cute Pokémon...He was what you would call pure evil.

"That one wretched Mew may have destroyed my lab...But what kind of person would I be if I didn't have an extra tissue sample?"

My eyes widened. Mewtwo looked at me, powerful hatred shining in his eyes. I swallowed, but tried to hold his gaze strongly.

"It took me a while to find a few capable workers, but the result was well worth the time."

Ash stepped forward challengingly, and the Team Rocket leader held up his hand, "This is a battle that is just between them. My scientists have brought out the best qualities and strengths of Mew in my creation. They must fight to see who is strongest...No trainers involved."

Ash looked at me helplessly, and I told him, He's right. You don't need to interfere.

"But *Mew*," Ziggy whined.

I smiled at her, and she melted under my gaze. Don't worry.

She needn't worry, Mewtwo sneered. But you should.

Good has always overpowered evil. No reason it shouldn't now, I retorted.

"We shall see." Giovanni stepped back. "Let the games begin."

It wasn't exactly what *I* would call a game. But it did begin.

Before making any offensive moves, Mewtwo brought up a strikingly purple protective bubble around itself.

I brought up my own Barrier, but mine was a non-threatening pink.

Hovering, Mewtwo abruptly rammed into my bubble, the force causing me to go backwards a few feet.

This would be the fight of a lifetime.






Author's Note: Did you notice how I paired the people with the birds? Zapdos with Ash because of his fave lil Pokémon Pikachu, Brock with Moltres because of Vulpix, and Misty on Articuno because of her icy water Pokémon...Lol. I just felt like pointing that out, sorry.
