Chapter Eight
He hasn't come, yet?! Giovanni yelled, over the phone.
No sir, said the grunt. It's been four days since we built the thing.
Well, send out some of our people. It'll be tempting for him. I want a picture of that creature, soon. My patience is running out! He slammed the phone down.
Alex, left from her hiding spot, and returned to her room. It was late evening. She shut the door, quietly, then turned around. She jumped, then sighed.
She said, happily. She ran over to him and hugged him. I'm glad you decided to come and see me. He didn't say anything, just stroked her hair. She looked up into his face. So, what's going on? Dad said that there's something in the woods.
It's a trap. Giovanni wants to lure me out, in order to get a glimpse of me. I'm not that easily tricked.
I know. Alex sat beside him on the bed. What's it like?
Hm?
What's it like, knowing that you're a clone? Mewtwo looked towards the open balcony.
At first, it was anger. I hated humans, because I was betrayed by them. Then, I learned that I'm no different than anyone else. Mewtwo looked at her.
Will you destroy it?
I don't have a choice. Team Rocket won't use this area for their purposes. I won't let them. It's going to be hard, trying not to let them see me, but I have to try. Alex took Mewtwo's hand.
Good luck, Mewtwo, she said. He stood and walked out onto the balcony. Alex followed. Be careful. I don't want anything to happen to you. Mewtwo looked at her. He slightly smiled.
I will. Don't worry. Everything will be okay. The blue glow appeared and he took off. If anything does happen to me, I won't let them take me alive.

It's strange, Ash said. He was sitting on the window sill, staring out.
Brock asked.
Team Rocket has been here for four days, and nothing's happening. It's like they're waiting for something. Suddenly, his eyes widened. It looks like... Mewtwo.
What did you say? Misty asked, peeking out of the bathroom. The shower was still going.
I saw Mewtwo! Ash said, excitedly. He was flying through the sky!
That's why Team Rocket's here! Brock said.
They're after Mewtwo, again! Brock said.
But I thought Mewtwo made them forget about him, Ash said.
Hm, that's right. But, if Team Rocket is trying to do something around here, wouldn't it seem that Mewtwo would try and stop it?
That's right! Misty said. Mewtwo doesn't like Team Rocket, so Team Rocket is probably trying to build something. But, if Mewtwo destroys it, it would be suspicious. That's why Alex's father is here!
Oh, then there's nothing we can do, Ash said, disappointed.
It looks like you've put all the pieces together.
Mewtwo came in the room.
I had a hard time finding you four.
Mewtwo, are you going to- Brock began.
I have to, Mewtwo interrupted. I cannot allow Team Rocket to destroy this place. I don't care if it costs me my life, as long as Ai still lives.
Ai? Who's that? Ash asked.
She was a little girl, cloned before me. She taught me important things: how to count, the alphabet, anything I asked. She was my best friend. We both used telepathy, so we created our own world, where we played. There was a cloned Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. But, the cloning process was dangerous and destroyed them. However, Ai somehow survived. I don't know how and she has no memory of it. Mewtwo looked out the window. I must protect Alex.
Brock asked. That's Ai? Mewtwo nodded. So, she's the little girl who was your friend.
I must go. I have a score to settle.
Wait! Let us go with you! Misty said.
No. This is between Giovanni and me. I can't let you become involved this time. Mewtwo flew out the window, as fast as he came.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jessie said.
Do you like that little girl more than us?
Of course not! You two are my family!
We are? I'm so touched, Meowth said, wiping the tears away.
I mean, James said, standing. Without you two, we wouldn't have the team motto, right?
Suddenly, the music started playing. Prepare for trouble!
Make it double.
To protect the world from devastation.
To announce all evils in this nation.
To announce the evils of truth and love.
To extend our reach to the stars above!
Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
Surrender now or prepare to fight!
Meowth, that's right! Meowth stopped the music.
That was so beautiful, Jessie said.
We're just one big happy family! James said, happily.
Group hug! Meowth said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There it is, Mewtwo thought, looking at the building. He took a deep breath. Giovanni will spot me. Cameras are all around it. It doesn't matter. I'll be protecting this city and my best friend. I don't know how fast they can find me, but Alex, I hope your memory returns. Remember the fun times we had, and everything you taught me. Mewtwo closed his eyes, for a moment, remembering playing tag, staying up late talking, and crying for her, at what seemed her death. His eyes began to glow blue. I might die, but I don't care. At least one of us will live!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alex hadn't moved from the spot. She was in her pajamas, but she didn't care.
she said.
Hm?
Do you think he'll be okay?
He told you that he will, didn't he?
Yes, but I'm so concerned about him. Suddenly, there was an explosion. Alex ran to that side of the balcony. she said, turning around and going back in. Be careful. Abra followed after her. Two eyes watched her, from the other balcony.
