Mewtwo's New Journey

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or any of its' characters, even though I do own a few games. If anyone can find Mewtwo for a bargain, I'd be glad to buy him! ^-^

A/N: This is my first fanfiction, so please read and review. I'd love feedback! As a bit of a prologue, this contains a lot of material from the two Mewtwo movies, but don't worry, my next chapter will be more original.

Chapter 1: A Familiar Dream.or is it?

Bubbles. Pink fur. Water. A Mew. ~This dream again. I haven't had this dream since when I was first born. Why am I having it now?~ Mewtwo lay on top of a building, sleeping. ~Why am I having it now?~-he asked himself again. ~What does it mean? Is it trying to tell me something?~ Mewtwo turned over. ~Who.who am I?~-Mewtwo questioned himself again, as he had in his first few moments. But the dream didn't end there.

~Who.who am I?~ "You are Mewtwo," the head scientist said. "We created you from a mew, the rarest Pokemon in the world." ~What is Mew? Is it my mother? My father?~ "No. You are a clone, made by humans." ~Are you happy, human? Your experiment is completed. What will happen to me now?~ "The experiment is not over. It is only just beginning." ~So you plan on using me as a test subject?~ Mewtwo's anger filled his whole world, taking a life of its' own and destroying everything that its' sinister blue light reached.

~What was I born for?~ Memories again, flooding Mewtwo's thoughts. These however, came from much later. "You were created by humans to obey humans." ~Giovanni.,~ Mewtwo thought with a growl. Again, Mewtwo's memories took over. ~That cannot be my true purpose. What am I living for?~ The next set of memories surprised Mewtwo. ~Don't cry, Mewtwo. You're going to live, and I'm sure living must be wonderful.~ ~Who was that,~ thought Mewtwo to himself. ~I don't remember who that was, or anyone saying that, but both seem so...familiar...~ The mountains. ~Why this memory now? This makes no sense.~

Purity Lake, the source of Purity River. Mewtwo felt himself falling through the water, growing stronger as he fell. ~Mew?~ he questioned. ~This is the place from my dream. But, if it has the same healing effect on me as it does on other pokemon, pokemon that are of this world, could it mean that I'm not so different from the other pokemon? Could it mean that I, who was created by humans, am as alive as the other pokemon, those who are from this world? Then, is this world my rightful place as well?~ Mewtwo turned again. ~Why should I continue living as I do, like a shadow?~

~Is this world our rightful place? We are unlike the other pokemon. Do we truly deserve it as much as the others do?~ Meowth-two had the answer, and stated it in a way that only a Meowth could. [Does the moon look round and bright to those other pokemon?] he asked. ~Yes, I'm sure the moon does look round and full to those other pokemon.~

Mewtwo woke up with a start. ~Why hadn't I noticed this earlier?~- Mewtwo thought. ~Why have I been hiding in the shadows of moonlight all this time when every sign I had been getting was to the opposite? I, like the other clones, must be embarrassed about my origin no longer. I will hide from the world, and more importantly myself, no longer. I have not found my purpose secretly living among humans in the darkness of night. To find my purpose, I must find my true self. Perhaps my true self can be found in the elusive memories of my past, not by continuing my studies of humans. Those mountains.perhaps they hold the key to unlock the clues of the past.~
