Ash walked sleepily into the kitchen, rubbing his eyes,"*yawn* 'Morning."
"Somebody didn't get enough sleep."Brock teased from the table.
"He was up all night talking to Kaily."Delia explained, putting a large plate of pancakes in front of Ash as he sat down.
"Where is she anyway?"Misty asked,"I haven't seen her all morning."
"She's out racing with Gary."Professor Oak said walking in,"They've been at it for two hours straight. They even skipped breakfast."
"HA!!! I KICKED YOUR BUTT!!!!!"
"Looks like Gary lost,"Brock observed as Kaily walked in, followed by a fuming Gary,"badly."
"Stupid ice bird."Gary muttered, flopping down in a chair.
"Storm iced the path on the last stretch."Kaily laughed, blowing a strand of hair out of her face,"But I was ahead anyway."
"No you weren't!"Gary yelled,"The only reason you won was because of that dumb bird!!!"
"That dumb bird has been my best friend since I was a little girl!"Kaily snapped, grabbing Ash's fork out of his hand and eating the pancake off it,"Yummy."
"HEY!! That's mine!"
Kaily just stuck her tongue out at Ash lazily. Misty smirked,"Looks like Gary's not the only one who's gonna be competing with Ash anymore."
"Those two have been competing since before they were born."Delia handed Kaily and Gary their own pancakes,"There were nights when I couldn't sleep they were fighting so hard."
"So Dad's told me."Kaily said dryly,"You'd keep him awake too."
Kaily sat down next to Ash and stole another piece of pancake, receiving a VERY annoyed glare from Ash,"Thanks bro."
"Will you quit stealing my food?!"Ash snapped, accidentally flinging a piece of pancake at Gary.
"That's it!"Gary snapped, throwing a pancake piece at Ash.
"Oh great."Brock rolled his eyes, dodging a flying fruit,"Here we go again."
"TAKE COVER!!!"Professor Oak yelled, hiding behind the door, closely followed by Delia, Brock, and Misty.
~*~Two hours later~*~
"OUT OUT OUT!!"
Ask, Kaily, and Gary slowly backed out of the door, closely followed by an annoyed Misty and Brock.
"Think you guys fight enough?"Misty asked, pulling a piece of pancake out of Kaily's hair,"It was bad enough with just Ash and Gary."
"Could be worse,"Brock rolled his eyes,"we could have started off with Ash AND Kaily."
"Don't scare me."Gary whiped some syrup off his face, only to have more fall from his hair,"If you dump syrup on my head one more time Ash...."
"Hey, you dumped orange juice on me!"Kaily snapped.
"Then you dumped milk all over Ash."Misty added,"That's about the time your mom got mad."
"So, what now?"Brock asked,"You're mom's kicked us out of the house for who knows how long."
"Isn't there a lake near here?"Kaily asked, looking at the sky,"I remember passing it right before I got attacked by that weird guy."
"Weird guy?"Ash asked, looking at Kaily.
"I was attacked on my way to Pallet Town by this weird guy,"Kaily explained, looking at the still healing cuts on her arms,"his pokemon were created from the DNA of a pokemon called Mew."
"MEW!"Ash, Misty, and Brock yelped, all turning to her.
"Are you sure?"Brock asked.
"Positive,"Kaily sighed,"I remember Dad telling me about a group of pokemon theives called Team Rocket. That guy kinda matched that description."
"Team Rocket, I wouldn't be suprised."Ash hissed.
"Explination, please."Gary hissed.
Ash, Misty, and Brock proceeded to tell the whole story, about the first their first encounter with Team Rocket, to the few things they knew about their first encounter with Mew and Mewtwo, to their second encounter with Mewtwo and the clones, to the present day. Kaily and Gary absorbed this, along with Tallen and Storm, Storm having found a liking of Ash's head.
"Giovanni,"Kaily snarled,"that name."
"I'm afraid to ask."Gary looked warily at Ash's twin.
"Giovanni tried to kill me and Dad when I was ten."Kaily looked at her armband,"Giovanni gave me this armband, for some reason Dad told me to keep it, even though both of us were nearly killed by that thing. To think Mom used to date him."
The rest of the humans stopped short at Kaily's word.
"You're kidding, right?"Ash asked, looking at Kaily.
"You didn't know?"Kaily asked,"Dad told me right after I met Giovanni. You think Mom was always a sweet gentle woman? She used to be a gang chick, and a nasty one. She straightened out after Dad beat her in a pokemon battle. They'd been best friends since they were little kids, Giovanni, Mom, Dad, and Professor Oak's daughter. I forget her name, Dad didn't like to talk about her."
"My mom,"Gary looked stunned,"hung out with YOUR parents AND Giovanni?!"
"Yup,"Kaily nodded,"your mom was one of the first great feamale pokemon trainers, Gary. She and Dad were rivals in EVERYTHING. They raced all the way through their pokemon journeys. They both ended up getting kicked out of the pokemon leauge for a year because they were always playing tricks on eachother. They decided to save the league the trouble and stopped trying to be masters and settled down. That's all I know. Hey, we're here."
They looked up to see a crystal clear lake right in front of them. A huge waterfall, with two smaller ones below it, crashed into the huge lake. Trees were scattered everywhere. Several large cliffs surounded the lake, perfect for jumping from.
"Wow,"Misty looked around,"it's beautiful."
"I didn't have much time to explore before."Kaily explained,"Dad told me this lake was full of mystery, he never finished exploring. He said there was a strange slab of rock at the bottom of the lake that he tried to pull up, but he couldn't I wanted to try pulling it up with some stronger pokemon."
"Sounds interesting."Brock looked at the water,"It even feels mysterious."
Kaily sat down at the edge of the lake and put her hand in the water,"It's warm, there must be hot springs down at the bottom."
"Well, what are we waiting for?"Misty asked,"Let's go!"
Misty set Togepi down and dove into the water, splashing the boys, and Kaily. Togepi chirped happily as Kaily, half angry, chased Misty, soon followed by the boys.
About a minute later Kaily came up again, soon followed by the others.
"Was I seeing things or did it look like there were crystals at the bottom of the lake?"Gary asked.
"You weren't."Kaily replied,"I think that's what dad told me about." She swam up to the edge and pulled something out of her backpack,"I'll go check it out." She put it to her mouth and dove back down.
"What do you think that was?"Ash asked.
"Who knows."Brock looked in the water as Kaily, who was brushing sand off the 'crystals'.
"Weird,"Misty looked up on shore, Pikachu was chasing Tallen around, shocking her now and then,"isn't Tallen an ice pokemon? Pikachu's shocks aren't affecting her at all."
"It's like they know eachother already."Ash watched the four pokemon on shore.
Kaily suddenly remerged next to Ash,"That's not a bunch of crystals. Get your strongest pokemon out."
"Why?"Gary asked.
"Just do it."Kaily rolled her eyes, grabbed some rope out of her bag, and dove back down.
Gary released his Nidoking and Arcanine on the shore. Ash released Bayleaf, Misty released, completely on accident, Psyduck, and Brock released Geodude and Onyx. Tallen pulled the ice moon stone out of Kaily's bag and evolved into an Arcanine, much to everyone's shock.
About that time Kaily came up again, and laughed at the shocked faces,"I forgot to tell you, Tallen can evolve herself whenever she wants. she goes back to her portable size most of the time."
The other just nodded dazedly. (Yuga:Abiou, are you SURE that's a word?) (BITE ME!!!)
"We're gonna try to pull this thing off the bottom,"Kaily explained, getting out of the water, holding the ends of two ropes,"it's big, and saying it's heavy is an understatement."
"Great."Gary said sarcasticly as the the pokemon split up and grabbed the ropes, quickly followed by the humans.
"Ready!"Brock yelled,"PULL!!"
The pokemon, and humans, began pulling with all their might. Kaily was little less than sure she'd pull a muscle at this rate, the thing wouldn't move,'This thing is HEAVY!'
"This is useless!"Gary growled,"It won't budge!"
"Shut up Gary!"Kaily snapped,'God, of all the times for me to not have my equpiment!' Suddenly something shifted, and the slab began to move. Kaily smirked,"You were saying? PULL!"
They finally managed to drag it onto the shore. All they could make out was a large grey slab, with jewels poking out of the sand covering it here and there. Everyone collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily. Kaily was the first one up to examine the slab. She began brushing sand off rapidly. Ash and Gary were qquick to follow. The slab was huge, bigger than even Kaily had expected, it must have taken up over half of the lake floor.
"This thing's huge."Kaily muttered,"Oh my god!!"
Everyone turned towards Kaily, then looked at the portion of the slab she'd uncovered, it was a picture of Mew, and Mewtwo, with a boy that looked like he'd been turned to stone laying between them. Everyone went bug eyed in shock.
"Pika pika pikacha!!"
"That's Mew and Mewtwo?"Kaily turned towards Pikachu in suprise.
"It's them all right,"Ash looked at the slab,"and that's me."
"No way."Kaily went back to work uncovering the slab.
"Um guys, you might want to see this."
~*~Professor Oak's lab~*~
"PROFESSOR!!!!!" "PIKA!!!" "GROOOOWL!!!!"
Professor Oak fell out of his chair in shock as the voices of Gary, Ash, Kaily, Pikachu, and Tallen broke the silence,"What is it?!"
"Professor, you have to see this."Kaily and Ash pulled him to his feet and dragged him out of the building. They threw him on Tallen's, arcanine form, back, jumped on, and raced off toward the lake.
"Somebody didn't get enough sleep."Brock teased from the table.
"He was up all night talking to Kaily."Delia explained, putting a large plate of pancakes in front of Ash as he sat down.
"Where is she anyway?"Misty asked,"I haven't seen her all morning."
