Mewtwo Too
A/N: GAAAH! Sorry for taking so long! I don't have any excuses, except that my birthday was the said week. ^_^; As a side note, for the time being, Ash will be called "Ashtwo" in the narration. I have my reasons. Some of you may know them already. I'm also deciding not to go and type out what the Pokémon are saying in this chapter, since Ashtwo and Mewtwo are psychic. I'll just type out the {Translations}.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon, for I am not Satoshi Tajiri, nor do I own the song that this chapter is titled after - "To Know the Unknown", for I am not Innosense. However, I do own Alexander Ketchum, Ash's brother, and any other new character that appears.

Chapter 5:
Very soon, Ashtwo and Mewtwo, along with Pikachu and Larvitar, arrived in a mysterious cave in Kanto…
"{Mewtwo? What is this place?}", Ashtwo asked.
"{This is a cave that humans don't enter because of old superstition, I believe you call it the Unknown Dungeon.}", Mewtwo Responded.
The Unknown Dungeon?

{Wow. I heard of this place from the elders of my group, back when I was wild.}, Pikachu said.
"{Interesting…}", Ash muttered to nobody in particular.
After a bit of silence and walking (or flying in the case of Ashtwo and Mewtwo), Pikachu Spoke up, {Mewtwo?}
"{What is it Pikachu?}", the Clone Cat Pokémon asked.
{If you erased Most of Team Rocket's Memories of you, and thusly of the encounter with Ash, why were Billy and Kid sent to shoot him?}
That's a good question… Ashtwo thought. But I think I know the answer.
"{Well, it's about Ash's brother.}", Mewtwo sighed and began, "{Do you want to tell, Ash, or should I?}"
"{You do it. I'm still not sure if I have all the details straight.}", the now Feline Pokémon Trainer replied.
"{Okay then…}", the Genetic Pokémon began…

Flashback: 4 years ago (1 year Before the start of the Pokémon Anime)
I won, so… why aren't I happy?, a 14 year old Alexander Ketchum thought, standing on the top of Mt. Silver, taking in the view of Johto, the unexplored region. He sighed.
It's been a mere four years since he began his journey, and already he's been crowned the greatest Trainer in the known land, and has defended his title once. It's not because I broke up with May Oak. That was probably the smartest thing I've ever done. She's just… Too much like her brother.
In truth, Alex didn't ever really "go out" with May. She just claimed him as hers to be the popular girl in Pallet. Alex despised that kind of person. A person who does something just to be popular. It conflicted with some of his own goals in life - which was mainly to see Ash surpass him in Pokémon Training. He was broken out of his thoughts by a familiar voice.
"Hello, Alexander", the voice said.
Alex turned around, "What are you doing here? I thought you were busy!"
The man in question wore an Orange Suit (Or is that Red?), and had a Large Persian beside him. His Brown eyes pierced Alex's own.
"I'm here to give you this…", the man started as he grabbed something from an inside Pocket he had in his Suit… It was a handgun with a silencer!
What the--? Alex had no time to react, as the man, Giovanni, pulled the Trigger, and shot him. Alex lost his balance and fell down from the top of the mountain.
Giovanni, in his usual no-feeling attitude, silently got aboard his Helicopter, with his Persian. What he didn't notice was that Alex had been holding his Pokémon League cap at the time, so when he was shot, a tiny bit of the blood was splattered on it. It had ended up on the side of the ledge, because of a branch…
Somewhere between the top and the bottom of the mountain, a Mew was flying around, having the time of it's life (When do they not?), when he suddenly sensed that someone was in danger. Looking up, he saw a boy who had risked his life on many occasions to help protect the legendaries. Mew did what he could to slow his fall.
When they reached the ground, Alex was still in bad condition.
"Sorry… Mew… but… I'm not going to make it, despite that valiant effort. But I thank you anyway," he said, coughing up blood.
"{Don't say that, Guardian!}", Mew told him, "{There's got to be a way to save your life}"
"….I…I don't think so…", Alex said. Clearly he was giving up.
"{You've got to hang on! For the chosen one! For your Mother! For Ash!}", Mew shouted, telepathically of course.
"You're… You're right… I've got to stay alive…", Alex said. He kept repeating that in his head, "Any Ideas?"
"{One. It hasn't been done in Centuries though.}", Mew stated, "{I could fuse with you, and act as what you humans call a Life Support system, until you are healed. It may take 6 years or so to be back at peak condition.}"
"…You'd stay with me that long?"
"{Yes, Guardian. You saved my these past 4 years, and even longer than that. I must repay the favor.}".
Alex and Mew both started to glow, and Mew flew INTO Alex's body. Afterwards, Alex looked the same, but he had blue eyes instead of brown.
* * *
Back in the present…
Ash understood now, "{So that's why Alex looked different. I thought they were colored contacts or something.}", he laughed.
Mewtwo nodded, "{Yes. And to top it off, he is the same one that fought me when we first met.}"
Ash and Pikachu were both shocked. Larvitar had fallen asleep on the trip, and was being carried by Mewtwo, so he had no reaction.
Pikachu shook his head a few times, {But… What does Giovanni being the cause of that have anything to do with Ash?}
Mewtwo sighed, "{Giovanni found out about Alex's Fusion, and now wants him as a member of Team Rocket. Injuring Ash would have meant that Alex would have had to come as quick as possible. It's his job, after all, it turned out that he is the Chosen One.}"
Ash sweatdropped, "{Lugia needs to learn to shut up.}"
Pikachu blinked. This was very out of character for his trainer. Mewtwo seemed a bit surprised too, which is a rare occurrence.
Ash blinked, "{Did I say that?}"
Mewtwo and Pikachu just facefalled.
