~Yes, you are Mewtwo. Mewtwo. Mewtwo. You are Mewtwo.~
~I am Mewtwo.~
John had been amazed how long it had been taking Mewtwo to awaken. Their nine year period was almost over, and John had been worrying about its mind. He wanted it with the mind of a nine year old. If it woke any time soon, which he hoped it would, it would have the mind of a sixteen year old. And sixteen year olds weren't very innocent.
"John, I've got a question," Strozak said to John over the phone. "Where will you be keeping the animal after it awakens?"
"Well, if Giovanni lets us, we'll keep him in a Pokéball. Why?" John asked.
Strozak answered, "Oh, nothing."
John was confused. Strozak had been calling him about everything. What food will it eat? How long will it live? Will you make more? How much brain power does it have? How smart will it be? How fast is its metabolism? How long before it dies of thirst? Is its fur water proof? Strozak had asked everything John could name. Something was awfully suspicious. Then again, maybe it was because Strozak was a curious man. He always wanted to know how everything worked.
The phone rang again. John checked the caller ID before picking it up. He wanted to make sure it was somebody he wanted to talk to, like Strozak or Giovanni. Not some stupid company that also wanted to fund the project. It was the Viridian Gym. Giovanni wanted something.
John picked it up, and said, "Hello, Giovanni. So great-"
"Listen, John. I want that Pokémon by tomorrow. No later. If you don't get it to me by tomorrow, you'll be losing all your equipment. Got that?" Giovanni said, sternly.
"But we still got-"
"I don't care. I want that Pokémon tomorrow. Got that?"
"Fine," John sighed.
He hung up. John knew he had to work quickly. As in that night. The team had stopped early so they could get a break. They'd been working ten hours a day, seven days a week. John knew everyone but Link was out doing something else. John Fuji picked up the phone, and dialed Link's number.
"Hello?" Link asked. "Fuji?"
"Look, Link. I'm sorry, but something has seriously come up. Giovanni wants the Pokémon by tomorrow. Could you come to the lab tonight?" Fuji asked. "You don't have to if you don't want to."
"I don't have anything else to do. I guess I could come," Link said. Fuji hung up, with a sigh of relief. He grabbed all his things, and headed for his car.
Oh shit, Giovanni thought, as he petted his Persian. He was gonna come. The only person that made Giovanni cower with fear.
His father was coming.
Giovanni commanded power, but his father, Luigi Mazoni, had easily three times as much power as he did. Luigi lived in Italy, and kept pressing Giovanni to get out of the Pokémon business. But Luigi didn't realize the strength and money the Pokémon provided to him.
Giovanni needed that "all powerful Pokémon," Mewtwo. Mewtwo would prove to Luigi that Pokémon were in the business. That was, if Fuji got it to wake up, and if Fuji's boasting of the Pokémon was true.
He hoped to God it was.
"Sir, another Pokémon battle," said a rocket officer.
Giovanni got up and out of his chair. "Right. I'll make this one short," he said. Giovanni was not only the leader of Team Rocket, but also the gym leader of the Viridian Gym. Giovanni was a busy man. He only allowed battles on certain weeks. This week, he was excepting battles. He also only let one trainer in his gym at a time.
The arena for the gym was just outside his office. In fact, all Giovanni had to do was turn around in his chair, and he'd be facing the arena. His office had a balcony to the arena. It was plain, but his Pokémon liked to have a lot of space when battling.
A trainer, about the age of thirteen, looked up at Giovanni. Giovanni got up. A rocket member flipped on the lights of the arena. The boy had short, brown hair. He wore a blue shirt and wore brown jeans. He wore a necklace with a Gyarados on it. On his belt were six Pokéballs, and on his shirt were badges. Indigo League Badges.
"Welcome to the Viridian Gym," Giovanni said to the boy. "I'm Giovanni, the Viridian City Gym Leader. Who might you be, boy?"
The boy said, "Randy Willis." Randy wasn't afraid or intimidated. Giovanni liked that. He was tough. And tough people knew that Team Rocket was the answer, not the problem.
"Alright, Randy. You're here to get the Earth Badge, correct? You should be glad you came here. This is the last day I'm holding battles until the end of the next Indigo League tournaments.
Randy said, "I really don't even need to go here. I already have eight badges. I'm just here to get another for fun."
Giovanni smiled. "You're tough. I'm sure you beat the others with no problem?"
"You bet."
Giovanni laughed. He said, "Then I bet you think you're going to beat me with ease, much less beat me?"
"Yeah," Randy said, still not intimidated.
"Then you'll owe me at the end. This will be a three on three battle. Got it?"
Randy already had a Pokéball out. "Yep." Randy threw the Pokéball, and out came Venomoth, a poisonous moth Pokémon. Giovanni had no trouble dealing with Venomoths.
"Alright," Giovanni said, and flipped a switch on his balcony. On the opposite side of the battle arena from Randy, a door opened up. A large kangaroo Pokémon stepped out of the darkness, fangs bared and ready for battle.
Over an intercom, a loud bell was heard, and the games began. "Kangaskhan! Mega Kick!" Giovanni yelled. Kangaskhan rushed toward the moth Pokémon, left foot first.
Venomoth flew higher than the Mega Kick. An expected move.
Randy shouted, "Use your gust attack!" Venomoth let out a cry, and flapped its wings furiously. A powerful gust of wind slammed into Kangaskhan, but didn't even phase the parent Pokémon.
"Rollout!" Giovanni ordered his Pokémon. Kangaskhan rolled into a ball, and rolled at Venomoth. While rolling, she jumped in the air and struck Venomoth. It was hurt, but not badly. "Again!" Kangaskhan rolled into Venomoth. Giovanni's Pokémon continually rolled into Venomoth. Until, finally, Venomoth fell to the ground, fainted.
"A victory for me!" Giovanni shouted.
Randy chucked another Pokéball. "Machoke! Go kick that Pokémon's ass!"
Out of the Pokéball came Machoke, a bodybuilding Pokémon. A vain bodybuilding Pokémon. An easy victory.
"Alright, then." Giovanni pressed a button on his balcony. A beep was heard, and Kangaskhan retreated to her helm, and the door closed. "How's this for size?" The boss of Team Rocket flipped another switch, and a black colored heavy ball fell from the ceiling. Out of the ball came Steelix, a Pokémon much bigger than anything other Pokémon.
Giovanni heard Randy curse a bunch. "Machoke! Submission!" Randy commanded his Machoke. The body building Pokémon slammed its shoulder into Steelix, not even leaving a dent.
"Counter attack," Giovanni said, unimpressed.
"Skreelix!" the Pokémon cried out. It dove down and ran into Machoke. An easy victory. Machoke was returned to its ball, and Randy quickly threw another.
"C'mon, Nidoking, you can do it!" Randy said. A large purple Nidoking appeared in a flash of light. This was gonna be good, Giovanni thought in his head.
"Nidoking, eh? Well, I'll show you the one thing that can dethrone a king!" Giovanni pressed a button to return Steelix, and he flicked one more switch. Another door opened, and out of it stepped a blue Pokémon, similar to the Nidoking. "A queen!"
Randy just chuckled, and shook his head. "Nidoking, Horn Drill her!"
Nidoking dashed toward Nidoqueen, horn spinning furiosly. Giovanni smiled. "Nidoqueen, use Attract!"
Randy quickly realized the match was over.
Giovanni's Nidoqueen started making love calls to the Nidoking, waving her tail and shaking her bosom. The Nidoking released his tension, and stopped charging. He just stared at Nidoqueen hypnotically. The king Pokémon was infatuated. He couldn't attack the queen Pokémon. Giovanni laughed. "Nidoqueen, do your horn drill!"
Nidoqueen charged at the infatuated king, and struck him with her horn with all her power. Nidoking fell to the ground. The second one hit KO.
Randy called his Pokémon back, and shook his head once again. He looked up to Giovanni, and said, "Good match."
"Good match," Giovanni said. As Randy walked away, Giovanni said, "Do well the Indigo League, okay? Promise me that you'll do good."
"I will," Randy said, and he walked out the door.
Back in his office, the phone rang. Giovanni picked it up, and asked, "Who is it?" Giovanni hoped it was John. He wanted that Pokémon quick.
"Giovanni, it's me, John Fuji."
Giovanni smiled, and said, "Ah, yes, John. Is this about the Pokémon?"
John was laughing psychotically. "Yes! He is awakening as we speak!"
After talking with Giovanni, John and Link stared at Mewtwo. The computers and equipment were also noticing the animal waking up. John looked at the brain wave monitor. The readings were going off the chart!
"Yes!" John yelled.
~I am ready. Now is the time.~
The animal literally bursted out of his tube. Orange liquid went flying everywhere. The looming figure of Mewtwo stood in front of them. Two evil looking eyes stared right into John's soul.
"Mewtwo," John said.
~Yes. Mewtwo is my name.~
John and Link stared at the aberrant clone in front of them. He could talk. But he couldn't talk with his mouth. He talked telepathically, projecting the words into everyone's mind. There was something that John hadn't planned on it doing.
~Who are you two? What am I doing here? What is to become of me?~
John stepped toward Mewtwo, and said, "I am John Fuji, and this is Link Imholte. You are here because we cloned you here."
~Clone? As in a copy? Of what? Who are my genetic parents? Why was I created? Why?~
Link said, to John, "This animal is smarter than we thought."
~Animal? I am Mewtwo. Why am I smarter than you thought? Am I just an experiment?~
John gulped. He was getting a little pushy.
~Yes. And now I bet I'm going to stay here. You want me for tests. Is that it? Speak up, Fuji. I can read what you're thinking. You think I am just a little experiment. Just a little clone that can be contained. Nobody can touch this little poor innocent creature.~
John was amazed. What would Giovanni want with a Pokémon like this?
~Giovanni? Who's this Giovanni?~
"Please, be quiet, Mewtwo," John said. John was starting to get really annoyed.
~If you don't want me to know what you're thinking, don't think. I'd think you'd be smarter than that. Now, John. I want answers. Real answers. Who are my genetic parents? Why was I created?~
Link and John were silent.
Mewtwo's eyes flared blue. The clone slowly floated toward Dr. Fuji, though a little uneasy. He couldn't fully control his powers yet.
John was petrified.
~Listen to me, Fuji. As far as I'm concerned, I am the world's most powerful Pokémon. If you don't tell me otherwise, or tell me what my purpose is, you're going to feel something.~
John quietly asked, "What will I feel?"
Mewtwo smiled.
~Agony. Pain. In other words, you'll be hurting.~
"And what if I still won't?"
Mewtwo smiled the most hellish smile John had ever seen.
~Then I'll see you in hell.~
Link Imholte didn't want to watch anymore. He raced to the door, which was open. Before heading out the door, he looked back at the monstrosity that they had created.
Mewtwo was far more powerful than anything he had ever imagined. He was supposed to have the mind of a kid. Mewtwo's mind was far beyond that of any genius's, that was for certain. The way Mewtwo had learned to use his powers so quickly was amazing. It was very obvious that if Mewtwo wanted his way, he'd get it. John Fuji didn't seem to understand that.
John was being an idiot, not listening to Mewtwo, not telling him where he was from. John was just too stubborn.
When Link looked back, he saw Mewtwo, lifting up a freightened scientist, and there was nothing Link could do about it. Link just watched.
Mewtwo's tail let out a blue aura, and he pointed it at John. Link knew he should have left, but he didn't want his friend to die alone. So Link watched as Mewtwo's tail not only emitted an aura, but glowed an eerie light. Then, the tail pointed at his face, and fired. The glow was so bright, that Link couldn't see for a second. After the light faded, Link looked at Fuji's head in disbelief.
Johnathon Fuji's head was completely gone. All that was left was a bloody stump where his head connected to his neck. No matter how much he respected his leader, he had to look away in disgust.
Link got to his feet, deeply breathing.
Mewtwo looked at Link. He smiled, and dropped the late scientist's body.
~Where do you think you're going?~
The door closed. The geneticist broke into a cold, fearful sweat. Mewtwo had him in his clutches. There was nothing Link could do.
~From this point on, Link, I am the king of the planet, wether you like it or not. Being the world's strongest Pokémon, I can bring true justice to the world. This planet needs a powerful ruler. I'm the most powerful one there is. But, I must work in secrecy. That is why you must be eliminated.~
Link began to panic. Their experiment had gone to hell, and he was about to give John Fuji a little company.
"Why? Why are you the ruler now?" Link attempted to protest against the mutant.
~I see into your minds. I can see that the world is dying, all because of the humans. You use Pokémon as slaves! How is that possible?! The corruption of homo sapiens can all be traced to enslaving Pokémon! Especially Giovanni. I can see what you two think of him. He uses Pokémon for evil! The Pokémon were here first, and the Pokémon shall be here last. We are the true masters of the world. You only took it away from the Pokémon momentarily. Now, with me, we shall take what is rightfully ours!~
Link looked up at Mewtwo for the last time in his life. His body became surrounded by pure energy, and-
Nothing. Blackness.
As Sean Strozak watched the latest football game, he thought up more ways to get money off the clone.
Sean had been calling John with every question he could think of, even if the animal could get arroused looking at a woman. Coincidentally, the answer was probably. He was part human.
He had taken everything into consideration. Where to keep it, what to feed it, and other things like that. He was going to have the clone no matter what happened, even if it killed him--or someone else.
Something started rumbling. The first thing that hit Sean's mind was that the mountain was erupting. Sean had lost a girlfriend to the volcano erupting. Her name was Minerva Julie, and she was a Vulcanologist. She studied volcanoes.
One day three years earlier when Cinnabar Island erupted, Minerva was doing research by the volcano. She was told by pretty much every other vulcanologist around Cinnabar that it was going to erupt, but she didn't listen. The only two people that remained on the island after it was evacuated were Minerva and Sean.
Sean had insisted that they should've left, just to be on the safe side, even if the volcano didn't erupt.
Minerva shrugged, and said that many of the evacuations she'd heard about were false alarms.
However, the mountain did erupt. And they were right next to it. Sean made it to his Bronco II. Minerva didn't. A volcanic bomb hit her in the back of the head, literally tearing her head and shoulders clear of her body. Sean didn't even dare try to recover her. Bombs, tephra, and ash were falling hard. There was nothing he could do. He drove away, just barely staying alive. A dent from a piece of tephra was still on his truck.
Sean had developed a fear of volcanos, but never wanted to leave Cinnabar Island. It was his home, and nobody could take it away from him.
Sean looked toward the volcano.
He heard a large blast, but it didn't come from the volcano. It came from the direction of the Augusta Laboratory. It was large, though not nearly as large as a volcano's blast. It was, however, bright. The blast was pure yellow, and it hurt Sean's eyes just to look at it. A quick streak of blue light shot outward toward Fushcia City.
Something was wrong, horribly, horribly wrong. The people in the Augusta Lab were dead. The entire team. Plus the clone. All Sean's dreams were over. No money, no clone, no Mew.
However, Sean couldn't just give up on it. He got out of his chair, and went outside. He turned the ignition on his truck, and he drove to the remains of the lab.

Sean had insisted that they should've left, just to be on the safe side, even if the volcano didn't erupt.
Minerva shrugged, and said that many of the evacuations she'd heard about were false alarms.
However, the mountain did erupt. And they were right next to it. Sean made it to his Bronco II. Minerva didn't. A volcanic bomb hit her in the back of the head, literally tearing her head and shoulders clear of her body. Sean didn't even dare try to recover her. Bombs, tephra, and ash were falling hard. There was nothing he could do. He drove away, just barely staying alive. A dent from a piece of tephra was still on his truck.
Sean had developed a fear of volcanos, but never wanted to leave Cinnabar Island. It was his home, and nobody could take it away from him.
Sean looked toward the volcano.
He heard a large blast, but it didn't come from the volcano. It came from the direction of the Augusta Laboratory. It was large, though not nearly as large as a volcano's blast. It was, however, bright. The blast was pure yellow, and it hurt Sean's eyes just to look at it. A quick streak of blue light shot outward toward Fushcia City.
Something was wrong, horribly, horribly wrong. The people in the Augusta Lab were dead. The entire team. Plus the clone. All Sean's dreams were over. No money, no clone, no Mew.
However, Sean couldn't just give up on it. He got out of his chair, and went outside. He turned the ignition on his truck, and he drove to the remains of the lab.
