AN/ Well it was 3 to 2 for Jirachitwo being a girl, so that's how it is.
?????........
{Where am I? What happened?} repeated Jirachitwo. It was clear by the mental voice that Jirachitwo was a girl.
{Where are we?} Celitwo asked Mewtwo.
He concentrated for a moment before answering. {In a forgotten island in the Orange League.}
{Who are you?} asked Jirachitwo as she watched with wide-eyes. She leaned a little closer to get a good view of her guests.
{My name is Celitwo,} answered Celitwo.
{Mewtwo,} replied Mewtwo, simply.
{Who are you?} asked Celitwo, some of her nervousness vanishing after seeing how mild Jirachitwo was.
Jirachitwo didn't answer. She just sat there and blinked. She had no memory of her past, having only opened her eyes to the world a few moments ago.
{What's your name?} tried Celitwo, again.
{I..... I don't know,} said Jirachitwo, a little dazed at that revelation.
{Do you remember anything?} asked Mewtwo.
{It's.....it's blurry now......} stammered Jirachitwo. {I remember...... there was clear sky..... and a lake. I was flying over it, over the trees.... Then it got really dark. There was this painful jolt. It got even darker. I don't remember much..... I tried to fight it. I tried to run. Then, the sun came out again.... It was warm, there was flowers. It was......beautiful. But then shadows came.} Jirachitwo shuddered. {It was like a storm, reaching.... claws, trying to take me. But then....} She sat up straighter, having not yet stepped from the rock she was sleeping on. {It was reaching for me! They were after someone else! I have to warn them! I tried to......}
{You sent your dreams to us,} said Mewtwo. {That is how we found you.}
{Your the ones the shadows are after?}
{Who's after us?} asked Celitwo, nervously.
{I.... don't know....} replied Jirachitwo, looking sad.
{Do you remember anything except your dreams?} asked Mewtwo. Jirachitwo blinked back. She hadn't know the difference between dreams and reality.
{You don't know anything about yourself?} asked Celitwo, half with pity. Jirachitwo shook her head.
{May I?} asked Mewtwo, as he placed a paw forward.
{May you what?} asked Jirachitwo, curiously.
{I want to use your mind to look into your past so we all can find answers,} he answered.
{Okay.....} agreed Jirachitwo. Mewtwo nodded and his eyes began to glow.
*Flashback*
The world was dark to the dreamer, but the dreams were full of life. It was bliss. The three clones watched Jirachitwo's early dreams, curtsey of Mewtwo extending his power to include them in what he was seeing. Jirachitwo smiled and Celitwo gaped at the beauty. She had never seen anything so breath-taking before.
Mewtwo would have liked to linger, but they would not find the facts in the dream. He pushed the images aside and focused on reality.
Reality was dark. Jirachitwo shuddered. Celitwo drifted a little closer to her. Voices were heard, though muffled, in the darkness.
"I'm detecting a flux in it's brain waves."
"Keep a close eye......"
The voices faded in and out, it was impossible to fully understand what was going on.
"..... are dropping!"
"We're losing Jirachitwo!"
The dreams, which had been a major distraction before, were now growing cold and dark. The warm sun had long set. Night was falling. Jirachitwo's subconscious was trying to make her body follow her mind.
"Prepare an electro-surge!"
A painful jolt of electricity raced through the clones' bodies, which they were unprepared for.
{Why did they do that?} asked Jirachitwo, who hadn't understood any of this.
{I....} stammered Celitwo, but Jirachitwo continued.
{I didn't know what to do.....}
There was another surge of power, but this one came from Jirachitwo herself. For a second her eyes had flown open, allowing Mewtwo and Celitwo to see where she was at. She was in a tank. From beyond the hazy waters they could make out the indistinguishable faces of the scientists. Celitwo and Mewtwo shuddered. It brought back bad memories for both of them.
Mewtwo pulled his powers further, trying to analyze the situation.
{You damaged some of their machines with that blast,} he said.
{With what blast?} asked Jirachitwo.
Mewtwo didn't answer. He just realized he had to deal with another powerful clone who knew nothing of her powers.
It was still for a moment. The dreams were quiet and dark. Jirachitwo seemed to be disconnected from all reality. But then, very slowly, the dreams came back. It was like a gentle sunrise, which in fact Jirachitwo was dreaming about.
{I knew I had to get away,} she muttered.
{How?} asked Celitwo, remembering how hard it had been for her to escape.
Just then, there was a sudden surge of power from the memory.
{Teleport,} answered Mewtwo, recognizing it instantly. {You Teleported out of there while you were asleep.}
{I did?} asked Jirachitwo.
The dreams came back, as lovely as ever. But Celitwo and Mewtwo could feel the beginnings of the storm Jirachitwo had warned them about.
*End Flashback*
{Your subconscious felt your desire to escape. It also knew of your love of natural beauty. That is why we found you in the Orange League. You have slept there since you escaped,} explained Mewtwo.
{That makes sense,} agreed Celitwo.
{But it does not answer a lot of questions,} said Mewtwo. {Who created you? And why?}
{I don't know......} said Jirachitwo.
{Don't worry, we'll help you find out,} said Celitwo.
{You will?} asked Jirachitwo.
{Yes, Jirachitwo,} said Mewtwo.
{That's my name?}
{It is probably your specie name,} said Celitwo. {.......How does Jiratwo sound for a name?}
{Okay!} agreed the newly dubbed Jiratwo.
{I think we should head to the Hoenn League, if we are two find answers,} said Mewtwo.
{Where?}
{Why?} asked the others.
{Because that is where I sensed you came from,} answered Mewtwo, a tad exasperated. They weren't the easiest two to deal with, but they were certainly better than Team Rocket. {We need to find out more about this threat that you can sense. We need to find out who created you, and why. And, if we can, how they got Jirachi's DNA.}
{Jirachi?} asked Jiratwo.
{The pokemon you were cloned from,} answered Mewtwo.
{I don't understand....} said Jiratwo. No one could blame her for not knowing. Everything she had known turned out to be a dream.
This question began a long discussion about clones, and the cloning process. Celitwo was impressed with how much Mewtwo actually knew. And they both had to explain their history to Jiratwo. It was the middle of the day before they set out for the Hoenn League.

Kanto League.....
"Well!" snapped Giovanni. "Any sign tracing what was the cause for the failure of recapturing Celebitwo?"
"We've only been able to pin the disruption on a massive psychic surge," said Domino, who had the unfortunate task of explaining everything to her boss. "The problem is that Celebitwo was too weak to perform something so extreme."
"And why haven't you tracked it down yet?" snapped Giovanni.
"Because.... we have word that Team Aqua and Team Magma are on the move," stammered Domino. "......looking for a clone."
"It's time I crush them once for all and claim this world for my own," growled Giovanni.
**************************************************************************** ****
Hoenn League........
"Maxie!" exclaimed a Magma grunt as he raced into her private office of Team Magma's hideout.
"What?" she snapped, not at all happy about being disturbed.
"My partner and I were going through the old databases," he explained, talking very quickly. "We found something that may be of use." He pointed to a large, manila folder in his hands.
"Set it on my desk..... I'll get to it later," she replied, dismissively.
"But....." he stammered, obviously hoping for some approval.
"You may go," she said, coldly.
"Y-yes," he stammered and left.
A few hours later Maxie finally got to the folder he had given her. It was label 'The Jirachi Genome Project.' She read the first page, with apathy. But it very quickly perked her interest. She read the conclusion of the project, then noticed what the grunt had highlighted.
Project Success: Failure
Termination of Clone: Not Confirmed
Abortion of Project: Confirmed
She sat bolt up right.
"Those %&*@# Aquas have to have it!" she exclaimed.
She hit an intercom on her desk. "I want my best members here! Now! I have a new mission."
**************************************************************************** ****
Hoenn League.......
"Is this the best you were able to salvage?" asked Archie. He was examining some electronics that two of his grunts had brought in.
"The sensoring equipment was fried," said the girl. "And Team Magma was coming."
"We took what we could and left the building to burn," added the guy.
"What research facility was this?" asked Archie.
"It was a genetics lab," said the girl. "It was co-owned, before we realized what scum Team Magma was."
"Your dismissed," said Archie with a wave of his hand. The two nodded and walked out.
"I remember something about that project...." he muttered to himself, as he returned to his office. He sat down behind his computer and began typing.
It wasn't long before he found the old files, still in the database. The fire might have destroyed the paper files, but they were still on the Team Aqua network. In a short time he was reading the same report Maxie was.
Project Success: Failure
Termination of Clone: Not Confirmed
Abortion of Project: Confirmed
He, too, after reading this bolted upright. He raced out of his office and grabbed the phone off of the wall, pounding each button as he dialed.
Archie hardly waited for a 'Hello' before he was yelling orders. "I want my best officers to meet me in my office. I have some business to finish, dealing with an unfinished project from a year ago..."
