Disclaimer: Pokemon is not mine.

--Because none of you were kind enough to provide me with a pokemon, I'm doing it myself--

Suddenly smoke billowed out from the centre of the room.
Something was coming.
Something... powerful.

Light shone out from the centre and a tall figure walked out on its hind legs.
Like a human.
Like a pel.

But it was neither.

A sleek purplish mouse with strong hind legs.
Like a kangaroo.

It was psychic- I could feel it.

*I have wanted to challenge you for ages.
I survived the DarkTimes unlike all the other pokemon in the world with the exception of eevees.
I was living in the Indigo Plateau with Mew and all my other pokemon.
When the radiation spread, Mew and my companions died, but because I was genetically engineered, I managed to sustain myself.
The pokemon youy were fighting were merely a test, an illusion.
You are the last few pokemon in the world that have the powers of long ago.
But stronger.*

"But who are you?" asked Espoir.

*I am... Mewtwo.*

"I'll challenge you."

I stepped forward.
Natt looked ready to protest but I silenced him with a look.

Mewtwo nodded, satisfied.

"Let the battle begin."

The scenary changed into space, the stars winking at us.

"Where is this place?"

*It is what the sky used to look like before the DarkTimes.*

I took all the scenary in with a single breath, commemorating this moment in my life forever.

*Show me what your powers are.*

"Soon... soon."

I felt so complete, like I had missed the beauty of the world and had just witnessed it.
In fact, that was what had happened.
It was beautiful.
Tranquil.
Wonderful.

But I had to try my power.
It was like you had trained so hard on the treadmill running and running...
And longed to race someone.
Longed to test your power.

note: my analogy, not espelle's.

So I stepped forward, took one last look at the stars around us, then nodded my head.

"I am ready."

--No more chapters till next weekend! I'm laying down my pen, (or keyboard) and heading off to bed (or tv)--
