Chapter Five
Darkness came fast. They were on the far side of the city, near the place where Alex had spotted the cloaked figure.
Um, Alex, James said, as they walked towards the place. Maybe we should turn back and go to the hotel.
No, not yet. I have to see someone, she said.
But it's getting late. I don't want your father to yell at me, especially since I can't go home, James said.
You can't go home? Alex asked.
Well, you see, there's a marriage waiting for me, back home, to a girl I don't love. So, I ran away and joined Team Rocket.
Alex said. That's so amazing! You weren't happy, either. James shook his head. Me either, that's why I have to see this person, again. I feel as though I know them, but I've never seen them in my life. I'm hoping he'll come back, tonight.
Okay, but only for a little while, James said, unsure.
I can't believe it, Jessie said, watching them through binoculars. He's spent all day with that little girl and haven't even cared about us!
I believe it, Meowth said. Jessie looked up.
There's someone coming the other way, Jessie said, looking through the binoculars, again. It looks like... no, it can't be.
Meowth asked.
Remember Mewtwo? That person is his height. Meowth rolled his eyes.
Big deal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mewtwo walked down the street, towards the bar. He stopped short. He heard Alex and James' voices.
What? There's usually nobody here, he thought. He went down the nearest alley, waiting for them to leave.
Do you think he'd come? Alex asked.
I don't know, James said.
Those voices. They sound so familiar, but from where?
I hope he does, Alex said. I want to see his face, just to see if it's familiar. They were quiet for a while.
Her voice. Mewtwo closed his eyes. Ai, but it can't be you. You're dead. I watched you die before my eyes. There's no way you could be alive, is there? He looked around the corner, but they were hidden by the shadows. He went back around the corner.
Come on, James said. He's not coming, tonight.
But James-
Your father will have my head if I don't get you home.
Mewtwo stood there, wondering what to do.
It can't be. She's gone, he said. There's no way she could have lived through the cloning process. No way. Yet, there was still doubt. Ai. Alex turned, suddenly.
James stopped and watched her. She turned back around.
I heard something. Did you hear anything?
Alex looked disappointed. Mewtwo looked around the corner, and saw them leaving. A blue glow appeared around him, and he lifted off the ground. I'll follow them, Mewtwo thought. That way, I'll see for myself, if she resembles her. I doubt it, though. He quietly flew above them.
He looked so familiar, Alex said. Just his eyes, a neat purple color. They're so beautiful. Then I heard a voice in my head, just like I just did. It said the same thing. Ai. Do you know anyone named Ai?
Not that I know of, James said. Alex became quiet, in deep thought. Ai. Who's Ai? It sounds familiar, too, but I can't remember where. What if this person actually has psychic powers, too? Maybe he's related to me. The hotel came up on the street. Well, I'm stopping here. Good night, Alex.
Good night. James, do you want to go hiking tomorrow? That mountain, right there? She asked, pointing to the mountain, closest to the bar.
Sure! Sounds fun! James said. I'll meet you here, tomorrow, then.
Okay! See you tomorrow! Alex ran for the hotel, as James watched.
James, said a voice behind him. James jumped, then turned around.
Who are you? James asked. And how do you know my name? Mewtwo held out his three fingered hand.
James, who was that girl?
My boss' daughter, Alex.
Really. Can you do me a favor?
Uh, what is it?
If she asks about me, don't tell her. No matter what.
Right! You can count on me!
Jessie said, behind him. Who are you talking to?
Oh, hi, Jessie! James said, turning around. I'm talking to– he turned around and Mewtwo was gone. Myself, I guess.
Well, come on, Einstein, Meowth said. We have to get somewhere to sleep.
