Johto League........
Mewtwo had thought it was going to be another boring day. But it turned out he was completely wrong.
It all started off normally enough. Just as the sun was beginning to set, Mewtwo took to the skies of Goldenrod City. But while he was patrolling the city, a commotion from outside its borders attracted his attention.
Mewtwo wasn't sure what was going on. He could see several explosions through the nearby forest. These explosions were in a straight line, coming right for the city. Mewtwo instantly had towards them.
Needless to say he was not shocked when he found out Team Rocket was behind this. He saw their Combat Force and knew they had to be making life miserable for some other creature.
He summoned his powers and neutralized their forces, sending them miles away in a place far from most life. He then surveyed the damage. Trees were burnt and/or broken and all of the native pokemon had fled. But that was not what held his attention.
Mewtwo quickly found the target of Team Rocket's chase. She was a pokemon he had never seen or heard of before. But she was badly injured from the assault by Team Rocket. She was also completely unconscious and not looking like she was going to wake up any time in the near future.
He was even more confused by her appearance. She was as green as the forest around him, so he knew she had to be a native. Her gossamer wings were beautiful, but damaged from the fight. She had two antenna and some longer hair, like a human's, which was scattered over her body, showing how chaotic her last moments of consciousness had to have been. But Mewtwo was most confused by her paws. They looked like mittens, and Mewtwo could not find any natural use for them. She was bleeding and bruised in many places. But Mewtwo did find one old injury. A long scar ran across her back shoulder.
Mewtwo quickly considered his options. The forest would not be safe for either of them. What she really needed was to get to a Pokemon Center, but the psychic clone did not trust humans enough to leave her in their care. The only other option was for him to take care of her. He thought of an abandoned warehouse in Goldenrod where they would be undisturbed. He then Teleported both of them there.

Celitwo slowly slid back awake. Her senses gradually showed her what was going on. The first thing she was aware of was that she was laying on her stomach. Next was the soreness, but not full out pain, of her entire body. She felt numb more or less all over.
After that she sensed the others around her. Actually, there was only one strange presence near her. But not too far away the area buzzed with life. Celitwo realized this and snapped fully awake.
{Where am I?!} she demanded as she jumped into the air, her wings supporting her. But they were too tired and weak, and she sat back on the crates she had been laying on with a low moan.
{You are in a warehouse in Goldenrod City,} another telepathic voice answered her. This voice was masculine. Celitwo was completely shocked.
{Who are you?} she asked as she turned to face the creature in the room with her.
She had never seen another creature like him in all her travels. His intense violet eyes seemed to see straight through her. His eyes matched the color of his tail, but beyond that he was as white as snow. His paws were knobby, like most of his joints. But he held himself with dignity and pride.
{I could ask you the same question,} he replied. {I am Mewtwo.}
{I'm Celitwo,} she answered, nervously. It was quiet for a moment as he studied her. {What happened? How did I get here? Are those evil men still around?}
{No one knows we are here,} answered Mewtwo. {I saw the explosions in the forest and investigated. I found you. You were badly hurt so I brought you here.}
{Um..... thank you.....} she sighed.
{Perhaps you can answer a few of my questions,} said Mewtwo. {If you are feeling better.}
{I can't fly for a while, but I will talk,} she answered. Mewtwo nodded.
He paused, not quite sure how to word his first question. {Why was Team Rocket after you? How did they know you were in that forest?}
{Where else would I have gone?} she asked, confused.
Mewtwo shook his head. He needed to know how they found her, in case they'd try to find him that way. {That is not what I meant. I have never heard of your kind before. How is it possible that Team Rocket has?}
{Team Rocket?} she asked. {You must mean those evil people.} Mewtwo began to get the idea that he'd better treat her as a child if he wanted to learn anything. {But I am hardly a specie.}
{What do you mean?} he asked.
{I am alone,} she sighed. {I was living in the forest alone for a year. I wanted to see a friend but..... but..... but they killed her!} Celitwo started crying.
{Team Rocket...... killed your friend?} asked Mewtwo, somehow not surprised.
{Yes,} sobbed Celitwo. {She was the only one who was ever nice to me. And they killed her.....} Mewtwo waited for her to calm down before asking any more questions.
He was trying to piece together what she was telling him. {So you've lived alone for a year, then Team Rocket found you and killed your friend?}
{Yes,} she confirmed.
{How did they know where to find you?}
{Where else would I have gone but the forest?} she asked.
{So you did not start out in the forest, the forest was not your first home?}
{No, I went their because Dr. Maple told me to go away to get away from the evil people. The forest was the only place I could go.}
{Your friend was human?} gasped Mewtwo, surprised. He hadn't anticipated this.
{Yes.}
{Your trainer?} asked Mewtwo, but all he got was a blank look. {Did she teach you to fight?}
{No, mostly she was interested if I was health.}
"A pokemon doctor," thought Mewtwo. Things were starting to make sense. This doctor was studying Celitwo. But Team Rocket must have heard of her work. When they showed up Dr. Maple must have released Celitwo. That must have upset Team Rocket enough to kill her.
{So she released you and you hid in the forest for a year until Team Rocket found you today?} asked Mewtwo.
{Yes,} she replied, confused by his questions. What was he trying to find out about her? {I wish I could have done something else, it was so lonely. But I felt at home in the forest, even though none of the other pokemon liked me.}
Loneliness, how common it was for him too. Then a new idea dawned on him. {How could the forest be your home, if none of the wild pokemon welcomed you there?}
{I guess that is because I am mostly Celebi,} she answered. {Celebi likes the forest. That was why I could never leave it.}
Mewtwo gaped at her, an idea hitting him that completely stunned him. {Celebi?} She nodded. {Your name, Celitwo..... Do you mean Celebi.....two?}
{The way Dr. Maple explained it to me was that Celebitwo was my specie, but name was Celitwo,} she answered.
{You are a clone...... of Celebi?} he asked, still gaping.
{Yes,} she said, a bit taken back. {But that doesn't mean that I'm not a pokemon!}
{I never said you were not,} replied Mewtwo, who was still staring at her in disbelief.
{Then what is wrong?} she asked.
{I am a clone of Mew,} he answered.
Now it was her turn to be surprised. A phrase from her time in the lab popped up in her mind. She had often heard it, but thought nothing of it, until now. {New Island?}
{What do you know about New Island?} asked Mewtwo, who was instantly on guard.
{The other scientists..... they kept mentioning a project on New Island...... Was that you?} she asked.
{Yes,} he replied, monotone.
She smiled. {I thought I was alone..... the only one. I'm glad I'm not alone any more.} She had a friend, someone who had gone through what she had gone through. Someone who was as different from the world as she was.
Celitwo stood to walk towards him, but she was still to tired. Her legs gave out and she started to collapse.
{You need to rest to recover your strength,} said Mewtwo. He caught her before she fell and set her back on the makeshift bed. {I will make sure we are not disturbed while you sleep.}
Celitwo nodded and laid down. Fatigue took her and she slept a few minutes later.
Mewtwo looked at her, confused. Here was another who was so much like him. Knowing Giovanni she was incredibly powerful, even though she may not know it yet. And knowing Giovanni, he'd continue to try to catch her. Mewtwo cursed himself for not taking their memories earlier that day.
But that could not be changed. First he needed to heal her. Then he needed to train her with her powers. Without training she'd be a danger to herself and others.
Mewtwo paced a bit, trying to think of what to do. He then decided to look to the past with his psychic powers and find out more about her. He put a shield around them so that while he was busy they wouldn't be seen. He then let his mind drift back, looking at the past like it was a movie. As he started to lose sight in the present he glanced over at her. Maybe he wouldn't be alone forever.

?????..........
A dreamer tossed and turned through the night. At first sleep was peaceful, but now the dreams were disturbing.
At first the dreamer dreamed of forests and mountains, of oceans and skies. The dreamer dreamed of a world in peace, where harmony reigned. Waters fell gently, encouraging growth and life. All around was happiness.
But now there was none. Thorns grew and dangers came. Dark clouds hung in the sky and refused to move, no matter how much the wind blew. And blow the wind did. It howled and shrieked as it tore across the landscape. Sometimes these winds brought hail, other times sleet or even cyclones.
The dreamer shuddered, unable to wake from this nightmare. But then something far worse arose. Shadows came and covered the land, shrouding everything in darkness. They swarmed over everything, taking it and destroying it. There was no escape.
Then the darkness turned and started to chase the dreamer. The dreamer tossed and turned in reality, trying to escape the nightmare. The shadows still came closer, and closer.
"It's not me they're after! It's the other two!" the dreamer realized, fear gripping the heart.
