Mewtwo's Revenge

After MSB

Chapter 5: The Weak-Minded

Later that night, in a small forested area still a good distance away from Ecruteak, Mewtwo sat staring into the steadily burning fire.  Ash, Misty, and Brock were eating amidst talking and laughter. Ash looked up from his bowl of soup and looked at the purple cat.

"Hey Mewtwo, you seem kind of quiet tonight. Something wrong?"

The psychic was silent for a moment.

"I will be frank with you human. I do not like your species. They seem to live solely to destroy and enslave my kind with their twisted science and technology. With Mew being held captive by that wretched excuse for a living being, things have only become worse. Lately my powers seem to be growing weaker…

Misty and Brock stopped talking and looked up as well.

"That device that one rocket used against me… those psychic waves were not nearly enough to cause even a headache to me if I were at full power. But I seem diminished now, as if I were linked with Mew's powers now."

Mewtwo glanced at the three humans who were looking a bit nervous. Waving his hand he yawned.

"Do not worry about it humans, it is just a theory."

He wished he was as confident as he sounded though. His powers seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, while the dreams and visions of Mew were getting stronger.

Deciding he needed some fresh air he stood up.

"I think I'll fly off for a bit to clear my head though… I'll be back in the morning."

Mewtwo jumped into the air and flew off leaving the three confused and slightly worried.

The cool air of Johto's northern region and the twinkling stars of the twilight sky were indeed a splendid beauty, but Mewtwo, sitting on the edge of a cliff, still could not shake his uneasy feelings. Something was drawing him to Ecruteak but he could not discern what it was. He could have just flown there any time but something else was compelling him to travel with the humans.

Unable to make sense of it all he sat back and stared at the full moon. Closing his eyes, he relaxed. It seemed like a long time and Mewtwo was beginning to fall asleep when a loud whooshing sound jolted him. Startled, he looked up and a large figure stood before him.

The pale moonlight shining on the creature gave it a ghostly aura. Its yellow fur glowed slightly while its two jet black ears were drooped over its shoulders. Mewtwo looked into the Pokemon's face. Its dark eyes were focused intently on the purple psychic with a penetrating stare. They continued to stare at each other for a good minute before the mystery Pokemon finally spoke.

'Time and the humans have not done well for you, master.'

Mewtwo's eyes widened at the voice. It was not possible! He was sure that everyone but he and Mew had perished! Taking a step forward, Mewtwo took a deep look into the Pokemon's face.

'Pikachu?' he asked with incredulity.

'Yes master, it is I.' Pikachu nodded slowly and small sparks emitted from its cheeks.

Mewtwo stood flabbergasted, as his once small and weak friend now stood at equal height and wielded an enormous amount of power.

'But… but how? How has this come to be?'

Pikachu scoffed.

'Oh come now Mewtwo, isn't it obvious?'

Mewtwo came to his senses and realized the stupidity of his question. Anger surged through him and he felt a fresh wave of power flow through him. His eyes lit up and he clenched his fist.

Pikachu walked over and put his hand on Mewtwo's shoulder.

'Worry not, master. Our revenge shall come swiftly. Starting with those humans down there!'

Mewtwo stood back abruptly when he saw that Pikachu had pointed towards Ash, Misty and Brock. Closing his eyes and shaking his head he replied.

'No Pikachu. These humans are not like those that did this to you. You remember them too if I am not mistaken…'

Pikachu's eyes went blood red and he shot a spark of electricity at Mewtwo.

'Can you not see what they have done to me?! I am not even like you now, a clone. I am a hybrid, an experiment gone wrong! At least you were a success… What am I? I am a freak of nature, a byproduct of human technology! I am everything you are now Mewtwo, but much worse…'

Mewtwo looked downward, his emotions clashing between his hatred towards the humans and his newfound friendship with Ash. Pikachu turned away, scoffing.

'Surely you don't care for these pathetic life forms?'

Mewtwo continued looking down, not replying. Pikachu's eyes widened incredulously and then became a mixed storm of rage.

'I plainly see now, Mewtwo, that you have made your choice. Just know that I am as strong as you now, maybe stronger. Don't get in my way. The humans die.'

Pikachu jumped off the cliff and began flying towards the campsite. Something inside Mewtwo snapped. Forming a ball of psychic energy, he flung it towards the Pokemon.

What happened next shocked him though. Pikachu did a somersault in mid air and smashed the ball with his tail. It flew right into the surprised Pokemon and he collided with a rock wall, smashing it to pieces. Dazed, Mewtwo slowly got up, but Pikachu had appeared in front of him. With a look of pure hatred etched on his face he grabbed his neck and slammed his head into Mewtwo's.

Mewtwo's head popped back and Pikachu began punching him in the stomach. He then threw Mewtwo to the side and kicked him off the cliff. Barely conscious, Mewtwo fell into a stream. As he drifted to unconsciousness, the purple Pokemon could hear Pikachu's snide voice.

'You had your chance Mewtwo. No mercy to traitors…'

Turning away, Pikachu began to slowly walk towards the unsuspecting human trainers.

'They will pay… they will all pay…'

To be continued…

A/N: Sorry for the long update, been a little er… busy. I know I know, it's starting to look more like Pikachu's revenge but it'll all come together in the next chapter or two.
