AN/ Sorry it took so long to update. I've had computer problems like you
wouldn't believe. For more info see my bio. In fact, if anything comes up,
it will be in my bio, so y'all might like to check it out from time to
time. And, as always, please read, review, and enjoy! (
{Where are we?} asked Celitwo, nervously. The Celebi had taken the three clones to the middle of a deep forest. Strange pokemon calls echoed through the trees, although the pokemon behind the sound where nowhere to be seen. Celitwo looked around nervously, her wings buzzing slightly on occasion. Her eyes kept darting to the flitting shapes of Celebi, as they wove and disappeared in the thick foliage.
{It's beautiful,} replied Jiratwo, who, too, was watching everything that happened. But the expression on her face was one of awe. She was spellbound by her surroundings.
"Come with us," said the male Celebi, looking straight at Celitwo. He didn't even acknowledge the other clones with her.
Celitwo hesitated, looking over at her two friends, before she followed Celebi. Mewtwo watched with narrowed eyes as they walked away. He then made up his mind and followed them.
{Do you think Celitwo will be okay?} asked Jiratwo as she appeared by his side.
{I will not let anything happen to her,} replied Mewtwo, his voice dangerously low. Jiratwo looked him over once before disappearing in the treetops like the Celebi.
The two remaining clones entered a small clearing where the trees seemed to form a circle. Several older Celebi sat in the branches, looking down at them. Celitwo walked into the middle and looked very nervous. Mewtwo stayed in the shadows on the side and watched.
"Is this the one?" asked one of the elder Celebi, a female.
"Yes, I say it myself and she doesn't deny it," replied the one who had led them here.
"But how could it have happened?" asked another.
"How did you manage to free time?" asked yet another.
{I have a name,} replied Celitwo, her nerves in her mental voice. {It is Celitwo. And I don't know how I did it.}
"How can you not know?" asked one.
"Patience!" replied an even older Celebi. She turned to Celitwo. "I have never even seen your kind before. My tribe is from the far south. We have never even heard tales of your kind before."
{I'm the only one,} said Celitwo, a bit sadly.
"Certainly your family.."
{No, I am the only one,} repeated Celitwo.
"The smaller one that came with her said she had been created from us," replied the male Celebi. The rest of the Celebi council looked very confused. Celitwo was looked more and more nervous each moment.
"That would explain why she has some of our powers," said the eldest female, at great length.
"But what do we do about her?"
"Well, what do we do if one of our own lose control of their powers?" the first Celebi asked.
"We send that one to an experienced elder to learn to control their powers better," answered one who hadn't spoken let.
"But she isn't one of our own," said another, a bit gruffly.
The Celebi council broke down into a heated debate. Mewtwo sighed a bit. He quickly checked to see where Jiratwo had wondered off to. She found her, playing the pokemon's equivalent of tag with some of the younger Celebi. He rolled his eyes.
(The Celebi council is made up from the oldest member of each tribe of Celebi. The tribes are quite far apart and live in the thickest forests in the world. Most tribes are small, no more than ten members. The largest happens to be the tribe in the Ilex Forest, which is also the place where the council meets.)
"Well, we have to do something," declared a Celebi as some order was regained. "It is our job to keep time flowing smoothly."
"She needs to be taught," said the eldest, simply.
"So, who should that burden fall on?" asked another. Mewtwo's eyes narrowed when he heard this. Celitwo's wings buzzed slightly.
A few Celebi murmured an answer, but for the most part it went silent.
{I will teach her,} said Mewtwo, boldly, as he stepped out of the shadows.
"Can he do that?" asked a Celebi in the back.
"Why not?" replied another.
Celitwo looked over at Mewtwo hopefully, but he didn't look her in the eyes.
"Do you think he can handle it?"
{Yes, I can,} replied Mewtwo, sharply. He didn't like anyone talking to him like he wasn't there.
"But should we let him?" answered one Celebi to the group. The broke into a furious discussion in poke-speak. It went longer than last time. For Celitwo, it was nerve racking. She had no idea what would happen to her if the Celebi decided to separate her from her only friends.
"So be it," said the eldest when the conversation had stopped. "You, Mewtwo, will be in charge of her training. And make sure she does not manipulate time again. You will have the whole council to answer to if that happens."
{I agree,} answered Mewtwo, shortly.
{Thank you,} replied Celitwo, softly. Mewtwo gave no sign that he had heard her.
"Leave in peace, we bear you no ill will," dismissed the eldest. With that the Celebi slowly began to flit off.
{Thanks for helping..} started Celitwo.
{Come, we have to find Jiratwo,} interrupted Mewtwo.
{O..okay,} stammered Celitwo. "He must be really mad with me..."
They found Jiratwo, still playing with the younger Celebi.
{Hi!} exclaimed Jiratwo, happily. {Did everything work out?}
{Yes,} answered Mewtwo.
{I'm glad!} said Jiratwo with a little giggle.
{We are leaving,} said Mewtwo, bluntly.
{Okay,} sighed Jiratwo. She waved to her playmates then hovered beside the other clones. They all took to the skies and flew off.
{So, where are we going?} asked Jiratwo, at length.
Mewtwo paused before answering, {I am not sure.}
{Where are we?} asked Celitwo, nervously. The Celebi had taken the three clones to the middle of a deep forest.
