Chapter Ten: New feelings



Mewtwo and Asha were together all the time after his confession. She spent nearly all her time dedicated to teaching him how to hunt properly. Mew would watch, of course, and get her entertainment from watching him get chased away from a Pigeot's nest.

*You have to approach quietly, or with the full intent to kill what's in the nest. If you don't, you won't catch a thing!* She told him that morning.

He gave her an exhausted look and held his arms up helplessly. *But I am! I'm approaching as quietly as possible and I have that intent! But it still doesn't work! What am I doing wrong?* But Asha just laughed and gave him a huge hug. He accepted the warmth and told her that from now on, he would take care of the pups at the den, if she promised to hunt. This got a laugh out of the two of them.

*Fine, are you ready to go back than?* She had asked him, he nodded and they had both returned to the safety of their den, to check up on the pups and to feed them the catch that Asha had caught. Asha watched Mewtwo with growing care, she'd always felt a soft spot for him, but now it was more, now, it was love! Her eyes beamed with pride as she strode on all fours back with him, Mewtwo walked on his two feet.

*Why do you walk like that? How can you stand it?* Mewtwo asked her, his eyes reflecting humor, so Asha didn't find it offending.

She shrugged and checked to make sure that she still held catch in the air. *I don't know, it's something I've done my whole life, I'm just used to it. To me, you're the one that is walking odd.* She said, raising her eyebrow at him, he smiled back and laughed as the pups suddenly sprang out of the thin brush ahead and began yapping and jumping at their adopted parents.

Mew smiled at them and tried to help peel the pups away from Asha and Mewtwo as they struggled to get both attention and the meal which was brought to them.

(Nearly three years later)

Giovanni laughed as the young mewtwo smiled and brushed herself off from her vigorous battle with a few of the stronger, more mature Team Rocket members. They smiled and bowed to Giovanni. "Very good!!! Very good!" Giovanni said as he clapped his hands, the Persian loped quickly over to her and gave her a proud rub and licked her small face lovingly.

The young mewtwo laughed and petted the Persian. "I love you too!" She said in her childish voice, her red eyes seemed overjoyed that she'd made Giovanni happy. "Daddy!!" She cried as he walked over to her, he lifted her effortless up into his arms.

Her small body was covered in a light whitish blue, her underbelly a gentle painted pink, her ears were longer and much more mobile than Mewtwo's. Her eyes were twin fire Rubies. Her ability to speak had taken Giovanni by surprise, but the specialists explained that since he spoke to her, there was a link established enabling her to learn. Especially since he'd raised her from the smallest kitten, to the young toddler now. "I'm so proud of you!" He said as he tossed her in the air carefully and caught her again, she giggled, her tail swishing in contentment.

A tone beeped behind him, he turned in frustration, he hated being disturbed when with her. She so seldom got to see him anymore, he looked over at the two Rockets. The woman with long black hair stepped forward. "I'll take her, do whatever you need." The little mewtwo looked up at Giovanni with sad eyes, he could see the tears starting.

"Daddy? Bye, bye now?" Her tone made him look away. She looked over at the black haired woman as she took her from him and he swiftly walked away without another word. "What I do's wrong?"

The woman smiled and shook her head. "Nothing, dear, he had to go to work." She sniffed loudly and her little lower lip quivered in sorrow. She patted the kitten gently on the back and looked over at her partner. "He'd going to lose her if he keeps doing this. She'll start to hate him soon." She said as the little mewtwo wailed in her pokémon voice, it was a heart wrenching sound.

The other nodded. "I know. But she adores him so much, and the nurses think that because he raised her when she was just an infant that she won't ever hate him, that she'll just learn to understand why he had to go. They also worry that this long term absence will make her want to work harder and become more ruthless and vicious to make him happy." The other said, the woman nodded and looked down at the sobbing mewtwo.

"I just wish I didn't have to watch her heart break like this! It's so sad!!" She said, the other sighed and looked up suddenly as the wind howled a little louder.

"Maybe we should get going before this storm gets any more vicious. I don't think we want her to get sick!" The woman nodded and wrapped the little mewtwo inside a warm, thick shawl. They walked for the main doorway and stopped as they looked at the blizzard raging outside. . .



Mewtwo stared outside at the blinding snow in fear, the snow was coming down harder now and it was still getting colder! He and Asha had already been forced to burrow deeper in the cave at the beginning of fall, now he was worried because of her delicate condition. *Mewtwo? Where are you?* He spun and hurried back into the deep recesses of the cave, stopping by the supplies room for one of the bundles of food.

*I'm coming, just stopped to look at the weather.* He told her as he sat down the bundle and quickly untied it, she look tired, her eyes were bleary and bloodshot. Her ears were down to the sides of her head, she didn't look well. *How are you feeling? Any better?* She smiled at him and shook her head.

*I'll feel much better if my stomach would stop playing somersaults on me!* She said as she put a paw on her stomach for emphasis. Mewtwo didn't want to point out to her that she might be sick, but he figured she already knew that one.

Mewtwo smiled and laid down next to her, his hands slowly brushing her soft downy winter fur. *Do you want me to try and make you feel better?* He asked, she gave him a coy look and smiled mischievously.

*I don't know how you'd do that, but you're welcome to try.* Asha remarked, her eyes shining for a second the magnificent violet before returning to their sapphire blue.

Mewtwo smirked and bent to gently lick her face, she smiled at the welcome affection and rolled slightly to her side, giving him more room in the nest next to her. He scooted himself closer to her for both warmth and to help keep her warm. His nose nuzzled her jaw, gently lifting her head so that he could nip away all of the straw and dried grasses that were stuck there. Asha laid in heaven as he did this, she loved his shows of affection, loved it when he revealed to her how much he cared. Ever since she'd become sick, he'd become more physical, more into showing her how much he cared. It frightened him that she was much older than he was, that she might be deathly ill and not see the next spring. He was suddenly filled with a desire to physically show her how he felt, and would stop at nothing to keep her well.

*Mewtwo. . .* She sighed, beginning to fall asleep again as he cleansed her of the dust and old pollens which covered her from her time in the nest.

*Don't worry, I'll watch after you Asha.* Mewtwo reassured her, he closed his eyes as he nudged her neck and shoulder with his head. He loved the feel of her, he had always loved the way she yielded just barely to his touch, but not enough to be submissive. Perhaps, when you are better, we'll become real mates. He told her in his thoughts, where she could not hear. He wanted to wait until she was better.

Her deep breathing coaxed Mewtwo into a sense of security, he drifted off into a deep sleep. . .



The sound was what awoke him first, jolting him like a pikacu's thunderbolt attack! He leapt up from the nest, Asha lurching up as well. *What's that?!* He demanded, having never heard such sounds before.

Asha's eyes gleamed with fear as she stumbled out of the nest. Her chest heaved with the effort. Mewtwo was afraid she'd collapse, but she seemed to be stronger than he had thought she was. *I don't know, but I'm going to find out.* Her mental voice was filled with the fatigue he was so afraid of.

She stormed out towards the cave entrance, and stopped, crouching down close to the ground as voices suddenly echoed through the cave. Mewtwo halted in sudden terror. Trainers!! There were humans in the cave! Asha looked back at Mewtwo, who was now cowering in their nest, knowing the wrath of Asha when her domain was intruded. She lowered her ears back against her head and slowly crept towards the small, nearly invisible entrance to her nest.

"Man, is it cold out there!" A girl's voice intruded the sudden silence.

"Yeah! I knew we should of stopped at the next town and waited this storm out! Now we'll never make it back to the city in time for the tournament!" A young man complained as he kicked a rock in Asha's direction.

"Rai." Mumbled a Raichu as it sighed with its master.

"Come on, Raichu, let's get a fire going, warm this place up a little." The young man said as he started to collect some of the sticks from Asha and Mewtwo's piles on the sides of the entrance.

"Umm. . .guys? Don't you think it's a little. . .coincidental that these sticks are all. . .umm. . .stacked?" The girl said, Asha almost growled as she walked directly into her view.

The young man straightened, still holding the sticks. "Yeah, really. . .do you think someone lives here?"

She shook her head and looked back in the direction of Asha, who was still invisible to her eyes. "Not someone, but a pokémon. . ." She closed her eyes and tilted her head back. "A very powerful pokémon, no. . .wait. . .two very powerful ones! We've landed in their den!!" She shrieked as she looked directly at Asha.

An older woman stepped out to grab the girl and pull her out of Asha's sights. "Calm down. They're not going to hurt us, if we don't hurt them."

Mewtwo blinked. Nurse Joy?! Than he looked at Asha. *I recognize that voice, that's Nurse Joy! I used her when I needed the know about pokémon to clone them. She's no threat to us! This must be her family!* Asha looked back at him and than laid down, relaxing in her spot.

*If you feel no threat. Than neither do I.* She spoke back as she watched them casually. Mewtwo had just settled down when Asha suddenly let out a silent yelp of pain, she curled in on herself and seemed to hold her breath.

*Is it another attack?! Do you need help?!!* Mewtwo asked in a panic as he tried to move silently to her, but as he stirred, the nest made sounds to betray them.

Suddenly, just as Asha yelped, the girl yelped as well. "Mama!! Did you feel that! It hurt!! My stomach!" She looked around in confusion.

The woman walked over to her and comforted her, Asha was not even aware it had happened, she was only aware of her own pain at that moment. "It's alright." She said to her child, than spoke directly to Asha. "I know that the two of you are here, I'm sorry we've disturbed your nest. But I can help you, if you are in pain!" Mewtwo leapt out of the nest and rushed to Asha's side as he heard Nurse Joy's footsteps closing in on Asha. "I can help you."

Asha looked up and her eyes shone brightly with violet. *STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!* She growled in desperation as she tried to back away from the woman.

*Asha. . .please, you need help! Please, love. . .* Asha looked up at Mewtwo as though he'd betrayed her. But than halted as he called her 'love'.

"Where does it hurt?" The question was not to Asha, but to Mewtwo and her daughter.

"It hurts right here, mama!" The girl said proudly, pointing towards her stomach, and circling in the motion the pain traveled in. Than the young girl pointed upwards toward her chest. "And here."

Nurse Joy frowned. "Well, that definitely sounds like a respiratory infection, that would cause you to have an upset stomach as well. Hmm. . ." She paused, thinking for a moment.

*Can you help?* Mewtwo's soft mental voice asked, his violet eyes seeking her own.

She nodded slowly at first, than with more confidence. She turned and headed back for the entrance of the cave. "Yes. I have something that should work very well." The young girl followed her mother and the young man remained farther back, still wary of the large shadowed feline.

Mewtwo took a deep breath of relief. His worry was nearly over, a pokémon nurse was capable of curing a pokémon of any ailment. This meant that Asha's chances were greater. He himself had been inoculated against nearly everything that one could catch, but Asha, she had been born far before over half of these illnesses began. The thought of inoculation brought back an unwanted memory of Giovanni and the hell he had gone through as he fought as his champion before realizing that he was going to become a slave, rather than an equal. *Thank you, Nurse Joy.* He spoke gently, yet distantly into her mind.

When she returned she smiled at him, and gave him a look of sympathy. Could she have remembered those events on New Island? "Here, I'm going to need to give you one small shot. It won't even hurt. Just a small touch on the arm or leg with this," She held up a small circular machine. "And it'll all be over, you'll start feeling better within the hour!" Asha eyed her uneasily, and looked back at Mewtwo. Well. . .glared back at Mewtwo would be a better way to say it.

*I don't need her help. She's just a human!* Asha growled, baring her fangs at Joy.

Nurse Joy looked at Mewtwo and seemed to have no fear of hesitation in her movements. "I want to help you, I gain nothing from it." Nurse Joy pointed out to Asha, who seemed to relax a little, brought out of her primitive fear by Mewtwo's calming soothing thoughts to her.

*I suppose your right, but I'm not built like a normal pokémon, how can I be sure that what you give me won't harm me?* Joy seemed to take this into account for a moment, she paused and than looked at her bag sitting on the floor not far from the young man.

"I could give you a small blood test, if your sample does not conflict with the potions, you will be fine, if not, I can continue to test until I find something that does work. I reassure you, I will not leave you without some form of relief." Asha sighed and nodded, Joy pointed to the young man. "Bring me my bags please." The young man jumped into action, he was silent and efficient. She brought out an empty syringe and attached a blood bottle to it, and looked at Asha and Mewtwo reassuringly. "This will only hurt for a moment, a quick prick and than it'll be over. There might be a slight bit of discomfort for a short while, but it is only natural. You don't need to worry about it." She explained to Asha, who looked up at Mewtwo for support.

*It'll be alright, I had this done to me all the time while I was with Giovanni.* Mewtwo mumbled gently to Asha as he looked at Nurse Joy nervously.

*Joy. . .might I ask a favor of you?* Joy looked up at her slightly, suddenly aware that the channel between the three of them was cut, the giant feline was speaking directly to her.

Yes, of course. Joy thought to her, Asha smiled slightly, impressed that the human could pick up the difference.

*Can you test to see if I'm capable of having a litter as you are testing my blood? I very much want a family, but don't want my hopes up too far. . .* She broke off, her deep blue eyes searching the others intently.

Joy nodded ever so slightly. As you wish. I will test that first, but I'll need just a little more blood than I would have, is that alright? Asha gave a short nod, Mewtwo didn't seem to notice it, but Joy understood completely. Very well. She continued drawing blood in silence, as the little girl walked up and looked at Mewtwo and Asha.

"You're really pretty. My name's Malony."

Asha smiled and stood as Joy pulled the needle out and bent to her task at hand. *Mine's Ashadawna, but you can call me Asha. You're very pretty as well, young Malony.* The little girl blushed and came closer to the two pokémon.

"Can I pet you? You look so soft!" She purred, her eyes lit up with excitement. Mewtwo didn't look like he liked the idea, Asha smiled and came closer. Even on all fours, the huge feline towered over the young Malony.

*I would be honored, young one.* Asha purred in her mind as she gently rubbed her head against the young girl. Her mind's eye still cautious as to what Joy would find out, in case she only thought the answer back to Asha.

The young girl's eyes widened as her little hands stroked the soft downy fur of Asha's wintery coat. "Wow! You're so soft!!" She commented, than burrowed her hand in deeper, touching her warm inner fur, closest to her flesh. "Two coats? I bet you're warm at night!" Asha nodded and laughed, a soft purring sound coming from her throat as she enjoyed the feel of the hands smoothing down her fur.

Joy swirled a small amount of the blood in a tube, waiting for the results as she watched her daughter and Asha. She smiled as the blood turned a soft bluish hue. You are very fertile, and still healthy enough to have many litters. Asha's face brightened.

*Thank you.* She muttered gently into Joy's mind.

Joy smiled a sly smile as she looked at Mewtwo. Would you like me to return in a few weeks, when winter lightens up? A check up, perhaps? A booster shot that would keep both mother and. . .babies safe? Asha almost laughed at what Joy was thinking, but didn't say no, she pondered the thought while purring to Malony's lavishing strokes.

*That might not be a bad idea. I've never had a litter, wouldn't want to suffer a loss at the first one.* She spoke directly to Joy once again. Mewtwo gave her a sideways glance, picking up the psychic waves, but unable to hear them. *Just answering questions.* She answered as the sudden pain hit her again.

Mewtwo nodded, than panicked. Joy was at her side in an instant, a new syringe in hand and carefully injecting the potion into her. The attack didn't last for long. But it was long enough to cause Mewtwo to go beyond panic and straight into berserk. Asha looked up at him with amusement. *You're such a big baby.* She muttered to him thickly as she nipped at him.

*That's not funny! You're sick and it's nothing to laugh about!* Mewtwo scolded her as he looked over at Joy, who, too, seemed to be having a good time at watching him. *Will this help her? Is she going to be alright?*

Joy nodded, an easy smile on her face. "Relax. She'll be fine, it's nothing more than a simple respiratory infection. She'll recover from it in no time at all. Just let her relax and stop worrying! She'll be alright." Joy looked directly at Mewtwo and raised her eyebrow. I think you have more to worry about than her health. She wants a family, I hope you're up to that. Because she wants to start it very soon. Mewtwo staggered back a quick step, not quite expecting that response from the human in front of him. She winked at him. I'd start worrying about that family if I were you. With that she simply walked back towards the entrance and helped the young man start building a fire.

*Asha. . .Nurse Joy told me something. . .it's actually something I was going to ask you this when you were better, but. . .I thought now would be good also.* Mewtwo said, his hesitation making him suddenly embarrassed.

Asha smiled at him and gave him a look which implied just what Nurse Joy had told him. *Oh, and what are you thinking of, love?* She got to her feet and nuzzled him endearingly, forcing him back to their nest. She nipped him under his jaw playfully, already feeling better from the potion.

Mewtwo gave a shiver of pleasure at her nips and smiled at her. *Well, I was going to discuss on when you wanted to begin that family of ours?* Asha's eyes glowed violet for a moment, and gave him a thrill in his chest. *Of course, we'll have to wait until our guest are gone. . .* Mewtwo started to say, but Asha cut him off, as she stood on two legs to match his height.

She walked over to him and placed a four fingered paw on his chest armor. *Pity, I thought we'd begin now, after all, I can stay silent, and you have no knowledge on how to use your vocal cords. . .* She gave him a sly smile as she slid her hand down a little farther, to lay her fingertips on his lower abdomen. He shivered beneath her touch, excited at the sudden forwardness she was showing.

*I suppose that might be in order. . .so what do you have. . .in mind. . .to start with. . .* Mewtwo began, but broke off as she suddenly brought him against her, her soft lips crushing his, he wrapped his arms around her, suddenly aware of how soft her fur was and how good she felt as he pressed her against him. A pleasant pain began to grow in his groin as he felt her kiss pick up in sudden need. She pressed her body against him harder as she twisted her tail around his, Mewtwo took her by the waist and firmly, but gently took her towards the soft nest. She gave a silent sigh of pleasure as his hands explored her body. The way she moved beneath him made his sweet ache grow more insistent. Finally, his mouth moved from her sweet lips down to her throat, than to her jaw, where he nipped her playfully, she trembled beneath him with longing as her voice came thickly into his mind.

*Yes! I need you, Mewtwo!* Her husky voice drove him deeper into the need to fulfill her, to pleasure her.

His lips moved from her soft throat to the twin bulges where her breast lay hidden beneath a soft layer of downy fur. His lips found their way through easily, his teeth nipping gently the delights her found there. She clutched at him, as she tilted her head back, her mouth opening to reveal her fangs. A soft hiss of pleasure escaped her as she slide one of her paws down to touch him, he was more than eager to move away from her touch as it proved to be too much for him to handle at the moment. *Not yet! I want to explore you. . .* His own voice was thick and harsh with hunger.

She twisted beneath him, her body feeling as though the fever had returned ten fold, only the fire of it seemed to be toward her center. Mewtwo smiled as he began to move lower. Asha's only thought at that moment was that she had waited her whole life for this, and so finally it was coming true.



Nurse Joy and her family left the following morning, but not before bidding farewell to the two giant feline pokémon. Asha thanked Joy for her help and reminded her, privately, of her promise to return soon to check up on her and, hopefully, her litter.

"Momma? Do you think I could have one of the kittens?" Joy nearly laughed out loud as she listened to her youngest child.

"No, dear, I don't think that would be polite. They would be her children, would you want someone to take you away from me?"

The little girl shook her head. Her eyes looking down at she brought out her pokeball. "I suppose not." Joy watched her daughter with love, having felt Asha's own heartache at being childless made her appreciate her own children twice as much.

I wish you all the luck, may you be with child when we meet again. She thought as she focused on the road ahead of them once more. It was a long trip back to the nearest town, but at least the weather was starting to warm up, and the snow had started to thaw.



Mew raced back along the familiar track back to Asha's den, she was so worried and so excited, it was the first time she'd ever seen snow fall in the valley, so she couldn't imagine how hard it was in the mountains. Her fears were removed as she felt the warmer air the higher she got, but her fear started anew when she reached the den and found that the entrance was blocked by a very powerful shield. She tried to get past it, but it held stronger than another she'd ever encountered. Fear and confusion brought a wail of terror from the small Mew, she began to bawl for a moment, terrified that something bad was happening, but than paused. She could not sense Mewtwo or Asha outside of the den, a warm feeling over took the fear and terror, a feeling that spread throughout her and made her laugh and wipe away her tears. A sudden thought that brought her joy. They've finally accepted each other! She thought as she chirped happily and raced off back into the forest, to busy herself while waiting for them to release their hold on the barrier. . .
