My eyes opened, a dimly lit fire flickering nearby. I must have fallen
asleep. I sat up and saw a charizard above me.
I shrieked and backed away from it.
"Charrrr…." It breathed and stepped away, turning his back, and waving it's tail behind him.
'So that was the fire…' I realized.
Then all was dark as it disappeared around a corner.
I heard plenty of noises, but none of which comforted me. None were familiar.
But…I was dry. 'How long was I asleep.'
"You slept as soon as I took off. I'm going to have charizard drop you off at the nearest Pokemon center in the morning."
I gasped, and then remembered it was MewTwo.
A light came and lit the area adiquitely, and I saw him again. I smiled, seeing a glowing ball of blue energy in his hand. "Thank you."
He didn't answer.
"Really, thank you."
He looked at me strangely. "Tell me, Celeste, why were you out in the storm?"
I bit in my lip sheepishly. "I got lost."
MewTwo smiled in amusement. "You are very different from other trainers that I have met." He approached and put his hand on my forehead.
It was so warm and full of life! I felt calm and safe. I saw the gentle slant of MewTwo's eyes watch me.
"Forgive me."
I felt a gentle push in my head, like the beginning of a headache, and I collapsed to the floor, sleeping.
MewTwo stood over her a minute, thinking. 'It really is a pity that I must do this…but if she knew what I truly am, or where she is, she could bring Giovanni back.'
"Pika…?"
MewTwo sighed. "Yes, she's leaving immediately. You needn't worry."
The Pikachu approached her, and with a snide frown turned his back and ran.
Why is the question he always asked. Why is it he was so different than the others. Why had he been brought into the world this way. But then, he knew. He always had known. But his new question was, why must things be the way they are.
'I hated humans and trainers especially.' He recalled. 'But after that epic battle on the island, I learned better of what it had meant to live among them. Some are good, some are evil. But…why must I hide from them? They are no threat to me now. Most of the clones have gone their own way and have infiltrated Pokemon society without anyone questioning how they had gotten there. But I, I am so different. Where they can fit in among a category of Pokemon, I am forever the only one of my kind.'
He bent down and touched the girls forehead. 'Why is it now I feel a compassion for the trainers I once so hated.' He lifted her and began walking. 'I let that trainer keep his memory of me because I was certain he'd protect my secret, but how can I be sure of just one small girl who got lost in a storm. I hope this doesn't betray the memory of that one trainer, but she must not remember me.
"MewTwo…"
………..
"She's coming around!"
I opened my eyes and saw the bright cheery face I knew well. A nurse joy helped me sit up.
"You've been asleep for quite a while! I was wondering whether or not to get you some kind of treatment."
I felt drowsy and disoriented. Why was here? How did I get here?
Joy turned and got something off of a tray. "Here's your Pokemon, I took the liberty of giving it a checkup." She winked and smiled, "He's in tip top shape and so are you!"
She walked off to attend to another patient.
"Thank You!" I called after her.
"No problem at all!"
I looked at the pokeball in my hand, smiled and tucked it into my pocket. Neptune needed a good break after all we'd been through.
I got up and walked to the waiting room to wait for breakfast to be announced. I guess someone found me in the storm and brought me here.
Nurse Joy soon came out and directed everyone into the cafeteria were breakfast would be served.
I sat alone, as always, an thought about where I was going in my journey. I only had a Golduck, and although he was an exceptional Pokemon, I hadn't succeeded in catching any others. I had no badges to speak of and rarely anyone to ask advice from. I suppose this whole journey started because I wanted time off from school.
I slumped in my chair and studied a piece of fruit in my bowl. I wasn't an adiquite trainer, but Neptune had become my everything…
Neptune….
I smiled to no one but myself. I took out his ball and let him out. He of course had to eat too.
He yawned and looked at me, ascessing the situation. It obviously wasn't a battle so he relaxed and jumped up into the booth I sat at. I fed him a strawberry and sighed sadly. He was way to good for a trainer like me.
"Oh! He's so cute!"
I was startled from my self pity and looked to my side, where a girl was oogling Neptune. He, of course, just stared at her unsurely, waiting for my okay.
"Go on Neptune." I said, sighing. I looked at the girl. "He's very sweet, he won't hurt you."
The girl squealed in delight. "You named him Neptune? How perfect!" The girl, who had red hair and a tummy revealing tank-top, held out her hand and scratched him under his chin. "He does have a heavenly look to him!" She looked up at me with big green eyes. "I'm Misty. I specialize in water Pokemon. What about you?"
"I'm just a normal trainer. He's my one and only." I confessed. "I never got the hang of catching them, but he…well, we kind of understood each other."
Misty had a look in her eyes that reminded me of adoration. "Isn't it sweet the way Pokemon bond with their trainers? What I wouldn't give for Golduck. I want my Psyduck to evolve so I can have one."
I swallowed. I never was a very social person. I got nervous around people and sometimes even avoided them. So why was about to offer her to join me?
I didn't have to. She just sat down across from me and stroked Neptunes glossy feathers, which he appreciated very much.
"Misty, I should've known you'd be gawking at someone elses Golduck."
Misty's face distorted as she heard the voice. She was now very aggravated.
I turned my attention to the source of the voice to find a boy around 12, with a bright red cap on his head and a pikachu on his shoulder. He made eye contact with me and then to Misty.
"Hey, who are you?" He asked.
"YOU CAN BE SO RUDE ASH! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST CRAWLD BACK UNDER THE ROCK YOU CAME FROM AND LEAVE ME ALONE?"
There was a side of Misty I could have lived with not seeing. I felt a sweat drop roll down my forehead. What an awkward position I was in!
Suddenly, both Ash and Misty were pushed out of the way, and there in front of me, kneeling like a knight of some sort, was a tanned young man in a pocketed green vest.
"Oh wow, have I died and gone to heaven because I think I'm seeing an angel before me! Tell me you're name sweet angel so I may proclaim your beauty throughout the earth!"
I suddenly felt a liquid warmth rush to my cheeks.
"Uh…I'm Celeste." I think I choked on my words a bit there. I must have looked so stupid!
"Ah, such a heavenly name for such a heavenly creature! A celestial star shining brightly, beconing me forward on the…"
"Brock, she gets the picture." Misty growled as she snatched his ear and yanked him away.
Ash studied me. "Is that you're Golduck?"
I nodded.
He smiled. "Then we can battle!"
I felt my face go white. "A battle?"
"Sure! I've never battled a Golduck before!" His Pikachu 'Pika'ed cutely, bringing emphasis to his point. "So, how about it?"
I swallowed. "After breakfast maybe."
They all scooted into the booth with me and there, for the first time, I ate a social breakfast with total strangers. Maybe there was something to this?
I felt a push at my side, and I looked down to see Neptune nuzzling me. I sighed and smoothed his back, content for the moment.
What do you think peeps? Don't worry, MewTwo will be back, but there is actually a plot to this story. 'hears all her audience gasp and faint' Er…well, I was wondering if I should keep Ash and the others in the story of if I should rewrite it. Tell me what you think.
I shrieked and backed away from it.
"Charrrr…." It breathed and stepped away, turning his back, and waving it's tail behind him.
'So that was the fire…' I realized.
