Chapter 3: The Guardian Mew of the Andes Mountains
The two set out early, hours before sunrise, so they could have as much time as possible to search for the mew. Mewtwo, of course, could just teleport to the top of the mountain, or even fly, but he felt that physical exercise would be good for him, and he didn't want Miyamoto to figure out what he really was, not yet, anyway. So, at three o' clock in the morning, they set off to find the place where Miyamoto had seen a mew twenty-one years ago. Miyamoto, who no longer trusted Team Rocket and their plans, no longer wanted to capture the mew; just seeing the creature who had changed her life one more time was good enough for her. She was not sure whether she would yell at it or treat it like a cute little baby, but she had a feeling that whatever she choose, meeting the mew would again change her life. She hoped that it would be for the better this time.
Mewtwo, on the other hand, was absolutely certain of what he was going to do, or so he thought. He wished to have a rematch with the creature he was created from-he was much stronger now, and wiser, and he wasn't controlling one of the most powerful storms ever while controlling dozens of other pokemon. Mewtwo knew that Mew had only been playing with him earlier, however, he also realized that his power could be best controlled when he was in control of himself. If you can't hit your enemy, you can't win a fight, no matter how much stronger you are, and Mewtwo's rage had blinded him to the patterns of Mew's movements. He felt certain that he could defeat Mew today and prove his worth to himself...and yet...something was bothering him.
As Mewtwo climbed the mountain, he sensed a large power near him-the power of a mew. When he and Miyamoto reached the top, the mew flew down near them, and landed next to Miyamoto. [So, you are still alive,] it stated, with an odd tone in its' voice that didn't seem to fit a mew. It almost seemed upset that she had survived. [So, you survived the avalanche, and still are staying here. Why must you trespass on my mountain, human?]
Mewtwo, who was translating for Miyamoto, couldn't have been more surprised. This mew was nothing like the one he had known. That one had been kind, and seemed to care very strongly about humans. This one seemed to be like him-angry at the humans for some unknown wrong they had did him.
Mewtwo expressed this sentiment to the mew. ~Who are you? You are not Mew, not the one that I knew, anyway. What has made you so upset at the humans?~
[Mewtwo, huh. So you are the product of the humans' experiment. You will ruin everything.your as bad as those humans,] said the mew, with a pronounced dislike of the intruder.
After translating this, Mewtwo told Miyamoto, ~I'm sorry. I should have told you more about me sooner. I thought you might be upset that you were rescued by the pokemon version of Frankenstein's monster. I was afraid that you might be afraid, and leave me before I could have a chance to know you. I'm afraid of what humans think of me.~ Mewtwo trailed off.
"You really believe that I would have been afraid of you because you are different?" Miyamoto asked, surprised. "For being a mew, your powers should be at least strong enough to tell that I wouldn't mind. Besides, no one would run away from the first person they've talked to in twenty-one years, even if that person happens to be a pokemon like you. You certainly don't know much about humans..."
~You wouldn't either, if you spent most of your time living in solitude.~
"Can't argue with that logic," said Miyamoto, who seemed to be annoyed.
[The human must leave. I thought my avalanche would make her realize that this wasn't the place for humans, but no, she didn't get the message.]
~You made the avalanche! How can you call yourself a mew? You are the exact opposite of the mew that I had seen. Previously, I wanted to fight you to prove myself. Now, however, I will fight to protect the honor of the mews! I may not be a mew myself, but even I, who had wished for nothing less than revenge on humans, have realized that the humans can be helpful. How could you have not realized that yourself?~
[Yeah right, Mewtwo. I know you still want to take over the world. But you! You could never believe that humans could be anything more than a disaster in the making.]
~How could your logic be so twisted, mew. You may be the protector of this mountain, but keeping it free from humans is unnecessary. How old are you, anyway!~ Mewtwo nearly yelled the last part out.
[If you have to know, I've lived for as long as the mew you met, clone. A lot older then you. You shouldn't call people young just because they don't think the way you do, clone] said the mew, sticking his tongue out, which added to the air of immaturity that the mew seemed to unable to be rid of. [And don't refer to me as 'the mew.' You will refer to me as Aijou Okanmuri, the mew of sadness and anger. And now, the human will leave, clone, if you don't want her to meet the same fate as your creators.]
~Aijou, then. Are you the mew she met here before?~ Mewtwo asked, surprised at the mew's odd behavior. Something wasn't right here...
[No, actually. I wasn't the mew that she had met. That was Shiawaze Amai, the naïve and happy mew that you met, clone. I wouldn't have gone easy on you, like he did. Of course, you still could have been my equal, if you had my experience. Even now, clone, I could destroy you, if need be. That human must leave. If she doesn't, I will either be forced to destroy her, or both of you. Now, you will make your decision, clone.]
~You are insane. You cannot truly believe that you can intimidate me. My powers are as strong as any mew's, despite not having lived for as long as you have. Now, I will fight to protect the human. I would like to learn more about myself, and she seems to be the kind of person who would help me to do that. But, I am wondering, how are you and Shiawaze so different from each other? You look exactly alike. What could have happened to you that was so terrible that you've retained your ridiculously negative outlook on humans for so long? What experience made you and Shiawaze into complete opposites?~
[Shiawaze and I have always been together. We were born, twins. As similar to each other as if we were clones. We stayed with each other for thousands of years, each having the same experiences. While Shiawaze looked to the positive, I looked to the negative. We became so dissimilar that we took separate paths two centuries ago. I became the protector of this mountain, keeping it safe from the humans. He took to sleeping underwater, to wake up only when he was needed somewhere, usually to protect the humans. He decided that she would still check on me, however, therefore it was Shiawaze that Miyamoto saw on the mountain. I caused the avalanche, but the human survived. Shiawaze must have something to do with this. But that no longer matters to me. Now, let us fight!]
